If You Could Add Any Costume Effect, What Would It Be?

Description:
Hello there, im working on creating new costume effects for the server and would love to get ideas from the community!

These effects can be inspired by your favorite anime characters, video game heroes or any cool idea you might have.

Why is this a good idea?
Getting feedback and inspiration directly from players ensures the new effects are fun, exciting, and based on what people actually want to see (expect them to come with many recolors). It will also help make the costume effects more diverse and give everyone something to look forward to when customizing their characters.

What risks or downsides does it have?
Some effects might be too flashy or big (no flame giants pls), so we’ll need to find a good balance between visual impact and playability.

Additional Info:
You can mention a character, send an image or describe the effects (look, color and animation).
For example:

  • “A fiery aura inspired by Sanji’s Diable Jambe.”

  • “A floating magic circle like in Touhou spell cards.”

  • “Blue lightning crackles like Raiden Shogun’s power.”

Go wild.

Guess this is not so crazy, but would love a walking petals effect :white_flower: can just be very dainty like the purple petals here on Zhen Ji’s Flute Musou Attack https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4DQwe9I3PWY . Baby pink/green and other recolors would be so nice too. Can also just be similar to the petals from Sakura Fubuki effect stone but like, trailing/following when you walk

Naruto 3 tailed cloak.

It would be nice if it pulses or flows and/or moves when you are idling or walking. I would caution against too much tail movement though, as I think it could be distracting.

Something simple? I think it’s simple but maybe it’s not simple to make. Two that I’d like…

Basic footprints. Step on grass, footprint. Step on snow, footprint. Step on mud, footprint.

The other one is a trail of slime or slimy footprints.

I have a few ideas. Hope you like small floaty glowy things…

1. Fireflies. I know we already have the White Glow effect, but I was thinking something much more localized to the character’s immediate vicinity (iirc White Glow reaches up to a crazy 6 cells away in all directions, which is visually distracting), and more true to what fireflies look like in real life. The effect could come in white, yellow, yellow-green, and yellow-orange color variants.

2. A starry sky. Something similar to Cosmic Connection, but the empty space part would not be visible in favor of more of a focus on the stars and constellations. Maybe there could even be tiny shooting stars.

3. Will-of-the-wisps. Three(?) tiny Horongs floating around the player in a similar, or even the same, pattern as the effect from the Doram passive skill Sprite Marble. (In fact I would absolutely not mind if they directly overlapped and entirely covered up that effect…)

4. Glowing floating jellyfish. Could also be three jellyfish and follow the Sprite Marble movement pattern.

5. Floating lanterns. Again, could be three lanterns and follow the Sprite Marble movement pattern.

6. Fire and embers, rising upwards before disappearing.

I hope any of these ideas are useful :slight_smile:
