We haven’t seen much from Atchibee in the series, so I made up some (MOBA-esque) abilities for the BakuBabes comic. The names and effects may change later, and probably not all of them will make it into ability cards. (This is a kind of conceptual thingy.)
(Brontes is the enemy dummy here, Rafflesian, Nemus and Fly Beetle is the ally.)
I basically took Atchibee and reworked them into a supportive, buffer-debuffer caster role.
(Spoiler: Not every monster will be balanced around their attack power, I tried to categorize them into separate roles.)
Ability break-down under
ˇ
a. Cleanse
Removes hostile effects from allies, such as root or poison
b. Vermilion Jet Black (This is the only ability we have seen Atchibee using in the show, it had some Gpower reduction effect)
Does minor / medium damage
Places a debuff on an enemy target (attackpower decrease / vulnerability debuff)
c. Void shift (self-defensive ability, great to counter burst damage)
Atchibee shifts out of physical reality and becomes unattackable for a brief moment / couple of seconds / longer period
Unable to use any other abilities and / or attack during it
d. Venom Mist
Creates a protective dark fog around allies
Poisonous to enemies
(Mechanical Bakugans are able to see through the mist)
e. (some sort of an ally-buffing ability)
Small butterflies (<3) manifest and fly unto an ally, thus buffing them (attackpower increasing buff)
Attack / ability concepts for Rafflesian
(Sorry Brontes, you are the enemy dummy again.)
Instead of going a full caster-type build up, Rafflesian is perfect to be a flexible melee ‘bruiser’ with caster elements. (Although we have seen Rafflesian using Mirror Window, I left it out, because I don’t consider it special to Rafflesian. I rather look at Mirror Window as a universal ability card, which is usable with any Bakugan.)
Break-down ˇ
a. Rafflesian opens up it’s petals and emits light. Not sure about the effects of this one yet, but Rafflesian’s ball form reveals some sort of a honeycomb pattern, and was inspired to do something with it. / Maybe it could be some form of Glow Roa from the show? /
b. It’s Glow Shield from the series.
Personal shield
Good for some additional self-sustain
c. Rafflesian rather counts as a melee attacker, but it’s roots / runners can be empowered to reach further / and have some kind of extra-effect like shocking or poisoning? /
Can body-block attacks by creating a wall of tendrils
Can lock-down / root enemies
While chanelling ranged abilities, Rafflesian’s ‘main-body’ is exposed to attacks
