*this is kinda complicated and probably needs some work, but you guys get the drift.

Scavenger of Lost Souls is a beast from a distant land. Some say it is undead, others say it is a demon, most try not to talk about it at all. It feasts on memories and the Souls of the damned becoming more powerful as time goes on.

Double Gold Unit, never dropped, only one on field.

Starting Stats.

HP: starts at 1
BL: starts at 0%
AR: starts at 0
MV: starts at 0
RG: starts at 1
RC: starts at 10
PW: 0

Seem kinda familiar ??


SoLS gains stat upgrades by units going to the trash can. Each unit gives a different boost. I based these off of two things, what would happen if all starting unit were dumped, and how often a unit was dropped. note thaty when you get it, it is a shrub that attacks for no damage one space away.

Common Drop:

Cleric: +10 HP
Enchantress: +10 HP

Pyro: PW +2
DarkWitch: PW +2

Mud: MV +1, PW +2

Barrier Ward: AR +2

Rare Drop.

Frost: RG : +1 and attack becomes ranged
Furgon: BL +2, HP +6
Beast Rider: RC -1, MV +1 PW + 2
Assassin: BL + 5, MV +1, RC -1



Never Dropped.

Berserker: + Stun, PW +5
Wisp : Focus Poison, damage, MV +2
Dragon: attack becomes unblockable and SoLS can teleport, RC -1
Stone: AR + 30
Ambusher: PW +20
Knight: HP+15, BL + 10, AR +5
Scout: attack becomes ranged, but only at current RG.
Lightning Ward: BL +50, PW +10
DSM: gains Dragon Speak, but gives it to BR instead



If you take all of the units you start with and dump them you get :


HP: 65
BL: 80
AR: 15
MV: 1
RG: 1
RC: 9
PW: 16

It has a ranged attack, but it wont matter as it is only one tile. Only by giving it drops will it become stronger.

Max Stats are

HP: 99 (45 must come from knights, other wise 54)
BL: 100% (only by dumping LW, otherwise 50)
AR: 50 (only by dumping stone, otherwise 20)
MV: 6 (only if dump wisp, otherwise 4)
RG: 5 (only if dump scout, otherwise 4)
RC: 2 (only if dump dragon, otherwise 3)
PW: 30 (only if LW and Dragon dumped, otherwise 25)

You would hve to dump so many units to get here it is not even funny. Most people wont get much out of it, but for those that lose much units to trash can...


an average sane one of these may be around if 10 drops are given or so, and only things that get dropped, no craziness like giving it your knights.


HP: 31 (3 clerics)
BL: 10% (2 assassin)
AR: starts at 0
MV: 4 (2 mud, 2 assassin)
RG: 2(frost)
RC: 8 (2 sassy)
PW: 10 (3 pyro, 2 mud)

as you can see, it takes a long time to get it powerful, likely 20 units dumped in trash can, and you might not have much control over what units those were, but I think it could be a good unit, though it most likely needs some work, I would love to get stronger based on all the units that get wasted.

yeah, to put it very simply, it is a next to nothing unit, but if you drop many things in trash can, it could get to be very strong, a novelty unit, but one that rewards someone for winning so many drops that they have to dispose of units. If you wanted you could make it very powerful by giving up units you will never get back.

LoSt SouL

Scavenger of "LoSt SouL's". Hehehe. Stealing my name eh? I find that unit pretty bad actually. With these drops and dumpings having to boost it's power? The stats could be so high it would kill a dragon/knight in one hit(from my understanding)

no it could neve kill a dragon in one hit, it maxes out at 25, unless you dump your LW or dragon, then it becomes 30, but you wont have a LW anymore.

It mostly becomes a single target mage with mid level damage and will have almost HP for a long time, it also will take ages to recover unless you dump a lot of riders and assassins...

It would take years to build up to uber status, or dumping some of the best units in the game in the trash can

Gold Jumpa

A very interesting idea that is cool to imagine combo's for, but it wouldn't work in-game because it would end up unbalancing the number of units and such.

Also, people could upgrade to double gold, dump all their units and upgrade again to get all of their units back. Then it would just be massively overpowered with a bunch of gold units.

What's with you and making units today?

you dont get knights and a scout for going dbl gold, only the ones listed for the upgrade, that's why the stuff that's never dropped is kinda good, that unit is gone forever. most people wont give up the good units to make this guy powerful, but steady wins in drop games will let him become useful, eventually.

ys this was a good attempt at making a very creative unit but u took it too far. i understand no one would probablt max out with unit but u could if u had alot of other units like imagine this unit maxed out plus 2 clerics and a stone golem that would take so long to kill and b4 too long it would have ur whole team taken out.

MisterBlockey

It's enh, as much as I like the idea of leveling, it doesn't really fit TAO (same for your adventurer don't feel like posting this twice.) Also, you know I can look right there and find an incredibly overpowered combo: lets say I drop assassins until recovery=3 and barrier wards and what not, and just for the sake of argument I have a 4 move 3 recovery 50 bl 54 hp 20 armor unit with 4 range. Now maybe I haven't gotten to 25 power yet, but hell I have three units I don't really ever use, so I drop the amby, the berzerker, and the DSM. See now I have a ranged berzerker doing 37 damage and a 31 damage beast rider, that I think I'm gonna bloody well stone. That's an insanely powerful unit and I'm still fine for my core formation.
