Abilities
-
Badger Brush (L-Click / Primary Attack)
Artie's basic attack. She is primarily a melee skirmisher, so she relies on her speed and ability to get away after striking enemies. This attack is melee only with a slightly extended range.
Action Painting (R-Click / Secondary Attack)
A different setting for Artemis' hard-light brush, Action Painting allows for Artemis to throw varying strokes of hard light 'paint' at her opponents in order to dish out damage from a distance so that she does not always have to get close and personal with other people.
Falloff damage begins at medium range.
Perspective (Hold Spacebar on a wall side)
Perspective is an ability that helps Artemis be able to get, well, a better perspective. Artemis can jump from high places and onto buildings or walls; she attaches herself to the surface using the specially augmented features of her prosthetic arm.
Artemis can sit there on the walls in waiting, or use the position where she is at to be able to relay to her team what she sees incoming. While she is attached to walls, however, she cannot use her brush to attack, nor can she use any of her other abilities. Artemis must first put down whatever traps she intends to set beforehand and then use Perspective when she is ready.
Oil Painting (E)
Oil Painting is a ground-placed obstacle. For Artemis or allies of, it speeds up movement of those that walk upon it. Artemis and allies can control their movements, however, if enemies are to step on the Oil Painting obstacle, they will slip and slide with no traction to their movements. Oil Painting is meant for allowing enemies to slide into traps, or into situations that they would rather not find themselves a part of.
The best way to use Artemis' Oil Painting is to set it up so that enemies will slide either off of the map (inducing environmental kills on Artemis' behalf), or setting it up so that enemies slide right into your allies' set up turret traps that turret making characters would be able to make and place. Situational Oil Painting would also allow for enemies to get into ally ultimate abilities or line of sight.
It takes Artie's hard-light brush twelve seconds to recharge in order to use Oil Painting again.
Paint Bomb (L-Shift)
Artie's harder hitting ability comes from the specially made paint-bombs that she has at her hip. She can toss them around and they explode after five seconds if they did not already hit someone or something destructible. If the paint hits anyone, it does start to burn for three seconds, inducing damage over time, as the paint inside is definitely not the safest concoction, and is designed more for first- to second-degree burning.
Whenever enemies are hit with the Paint Bomb, enemies are slowed due to the sticky effects of the paint. This allows for people to have a better opportunity to make hits and get enemy characters out of the way. There are abilities that can negate the sticky effect, though Artemis generally is best off not messing with those people anyways with the abilities at her disposal.
It takes eight seconds for Artemis' Paint Bomb to recharge.
Negative Render (Q - Ultimate Ability)
"Wala nang mga kaalyado!"
"Hope you can trust your allies~!"
Negative Render is applied quickly and hopefully discreetly. However, most instances of Negative Render have been applied in panic that have coated people in non-protective hard-light to throw off enemy allies that are firing from a distance. The only exception to the non-protective hard-light is the coat that it gives Artemis, her activation bracelet helps keep it as a protective shell for a few seconds to allow escape.
In-game, this ability would have a ten-metre radius, and would make all enemies caught within it have a red outline to their allies, making them very much susceptible to friendly fire. Enemies and allies of enemies would have to be careful that what they are aiming at is indeed a friend or a foe.
