The Incubus (SH1) Power Concept

Power: The Incubus can charge a beam of lightning. The range of the beam is confined to the terror radius of The Incubus. When the beam is charged and the power button is pressed, The Incubus will stop and fire the beam. Camera movement is disabled while firing. After the beam has been fired, The Incubus will suffer a cooldown before being able to charge a beam again. Charge will begin to decrease after a short period of time if cancelled.

The Incubus can also Hover. This allows it to see over tall loops, however The Incubus cannot move while hovering and will suffer a short movement speed penalty if lowered. The Incubus can charge and fire a beam while hovering, however it will suffer a longer cooldown and penalty.

When all 4 survivors are inflicted with the Decaying status effect, The Incubus is able to control the beam while firing, as well as gaining a reduced cooldown.

If hit by this beam, survivors will become injured as well as gaining the Decaying status effect. Survivors inflicted with this effect will have a timer over their HUD icon. If the survivor is not fully healed once the timer reaches zero, they will suffer from the Broken status effect until being downed. The Decaying effect will be removed after the survivor is healed or Broken.


This is sort of like Plague + Slinger with wings, which sounds fun to me. Maybe something else could be done with the hover ability, but I like this.
