Dancer Praetorian Strain

[Runian]

About The Pull Request

Port of CM's Praetorian's Dancer Strain. Sprites are taken from there as well.

Button Icons: Dodge, Impale, Tail Trip

Normal Praetorian vs. Dancer Praetorian Sprites

Slashing someone applies a mark that lasts for 4 seconds which enhances their abilities.
They get 2 additional melee damage (on par with Ravager).
They lose 5 armor (melee, bullet, laser, energy, fire) for -0.3 speed.
They lose acid spit and acid cone in exchange for three abilities:

• Dodge: Gain a speed boost upon activation and the ability to pass through mobs. Enemies automatically receive bump attacks when passed.
  • Speed buff of -0.5.
  • 6 second duration.
  • 10 second cooldown.
• Impale: Impale a marine next to you with your tail for moderate damage. Marked enemies are impaled twice.
  • 25 brute damage.
  • 8 second cooldown.
• Tail Trip: Target a marine within two tiles of you to disorient and slows them. Marked enemies receive stronger debuffs and are stunned for a second.
  • 0.1 second paralyze. If marked, 1 second.
  • 4 second stagger. If marked, 5 seconds.
  • 0.9 slowdown. If marked, 1.2 slowdown.
  • 23 stamina damage.
  • 8 second cooldown.

No unique Primordial ability for it; thus, has the normal Praetorian's acid dash as a placeholder.

Why It's Good For The Game

Looked cool. New strain in this barren xeno feature landscape. No idea how balanced this is, but that is something to find out.

Dodge's passthrough slash only works on harm intent, which is really annoying, and it also shoves the marine, which is kinda unintuitive
