Ms. Accord
Puyo Pop Fever

Alignment: Lawful(?) Good

Motto: “Now, class, it's time for your homework. Let us have our Puyo battle.”

Allies/Friends: All of the Primp Town Magic School students, Lemres

Enemies/Rivals: Satan(?)

Backstory: Here you go.

History On Li: Ms. Accord was getting extremely worried. First came the news of the disappearances of two of her students, Amitie and Rider. Then Klug and Raffine followed suit. Not helping things out was Lemres seemingly being unable to contact her once he went off, thus not having any positive progress. Seemed like fate was basically trying to toy with her.

And then, one day, something odd happened. One seemingly harmless day, she and Primp Town’s beloved Magic School were warped to the Rainbow Square. Nobody was harmed, though. Not knowing why this happened, Ms. Accord goes off to find the cause of her teleportation...and maybe, just maybe...find her missing students.

Primary Attacks (3)
Basic Atk 1: Craie Lance. Ms. Accord throws a chalk onto the enemy. In case you want to know, yes, it hurts. STR-roll based. (10% damage)

Basic Atk 2: Solfège. Using her wand, Ms. Accord shoots a lone projectile of light. (12% damage)

Basic Atk 3: Vivo. Ms. Accord releases some body constraints via this spell for a limited time. Grants STR and CON 4 points for 3 turns. 3 turn cooldown.

Special Attacks (3)

Special Atk 1: Hammer Combo. Ms. Accord brings up her hammer and does a 3-hit combo. In each hit, the hammer gets imbued with fire, electric and ice magic respectively. STR+WIS roll based. (13% damage each swing, 10% chance of inflicting burn/paralysis/frozen depending of the swing. Each swing counts as a Combat Action.)

Special Atk 2: Popoi Lance. You know that cat that Ms. Accord keeps carrying around? Yeah, Ms. Accord will most likely throw him at you. The attack by itself looks like a buffed up version of Craie Lance, dealing 15% damage overall. However, should Ms. Accord roll 15+, Popoi swipes at the enemy with his claws, dealing an additional 5% damage.

Special Atk 3: Fin d’Etudes. Ms. Accord creates a eruption of light and music notes from below the enemy. Deals 27% damage, 3 turn cooldown.

Final Smash (1)
15 Chain: Comet Puyo!:  Ms. Accord hops into the air, and concentrates an amazing amount of energy which becomes a massive Comet Puyo that comes down on the opponents at blinding speed, causing an explosion that covers a small radius upon impact. 50% damage.

Here's an image for the Comet Puyo Ms. Accord channels through her Final Smash, for reference's sake.

Other Info: Her birthday is February 12th.
Nobody actually knows what Popoi actually is, though many settle for considering him a talking puppet.

Just some quick notes about some of the attacks here:

Vivo is a bit too powerful as a buffing move considering that other moves of that nature that already exist, such as Haxorus’s Dragon Dance, only ups 4 stat points for two disciplines and only lasts for 3 turns, now your cooldown may be 2 turns longer than those moves, the increased buff does not quite call for it. I would suggest that you either lower the buffs being made (perhaps STR, DEX, and CON going up by 2 stat points instead), lower the amount of turns it lasts, increasing the cooldown rate, or maybe a little bit of each.

Hammer Combo is incredibly powerful if it is only taking one combat action (it being labelled as a single move would suggest that it would take one combat action without further notification) considering that it does a 3 hit combo (which with 15% damage per hit, that would be doing 45% damage if they all hit). Not to mention that each hit has a 25% chance to inflict a status, which is too high a chance for an attack that does 15% damage in the first place. All in all, this would need to be nerfed significantly before being accepted, mostly lowering the damage output of each swing. Someone has made a move similar to this in the past, though I can’t quite remember who it was, but I would recommend going off their base in which the attack did 13% damage and had a 30% chance to inflict a status ailment (10% for burn, 10% for paralysis, 10% for freeze). You don’t have to make it work exactly like that, but that is the threshold for acceptability.

Final Smashes that target more than one opponent cannot be in the range of doing 60% damage. For an example of an Ultimate Attack that is similar to yours, here is Black Mage’s

Ultimate Attack(1):Meteor: Summons a hailstorm of powerful meteors to crush the competition with one of the most powerful Black Magic Spells. It strikes all foes with a fury of non-elemental meteors. The storm can be focused on one target to deal damage. (40%, or can be focused on a single target for 60%)

Happy editing.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

All right, I've made some changes to see if it's any better:

• Vivo now only buffs STR and CON for 3 turns instead of 4. The cooldown remains the same. 
• I weakened Hammer Combo according to the example you put out.
• I wasn't sure of the maximum damage output a multi-striking FS could have, so I changed Meteor Puyo to 50%.

If I need to change anything else, don't hesitate to tell me.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Vivo is fine now, but given that (as I said earlier) most moves of its nature have a 3 turn cooldown, so by keeping the 5 turn cooldown you are mostly handicapping yourself. There is nothing wrong with it per say and you can keep the current cooldown if you please, just giving you a heads up.

As for the Hammer Combo, how many combat actions does it use? If it uses one combat action per hammer swing then it is fine, if it only uses one combat action to do the 3-hit combo then the damage output should be in the Light Attack range.

If it has a small impact radius then 50% is a sufficient damage output.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

-Thanks for the heads-up about the Vivo cooldown.

-The Hammer Combo would be using one per swing. I'll add that onto the move's description.

-Yes, it is a small radius. I'll add that under the FS description as well.

It's time for Ms. Accord to put that knowledge she got from the Mirage onto use. Reworking a previous spell can do wonders.

Fermata: Accord's magic releases another portion of her body constraints for a short period of time, making her magic more stronger and her more agile on her feet. Boosts WIS and DEX by 4 stat points for 3 turns. 3 turn cooldown.

[Mari]

Fermata looks fine.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

OK, so I decided to rework Accord's kit because I looked back and thought 'it's so baaaad', here's the new one-

Basic Attacks:

Inverse Hammer: Powering up her hammer slightly with the forces of both light and darkness, Accord swings said hammer around with fast and precise movements augmented by her magic. Combined STR+WIS roll. [8% damage, Combo, 2 turn cooldown]

Light Burst: Accord channels light from her left hand, and shoots forward a salvo of light spheres toward an enemy! The salvo follows a circular pattern, and create small explosions upon contact. [15% damage]

Dark Flame: Channeling the very tough forces of darkness, Accord shoots a powerful dark blue fireball from her right hand, which explodes in a spectacular fashion! 25% chance of burning a foe. [22% damage, 3 turn cooldown]

---

Special Attacks

Tendrils of Darkness: Accord summons ghastly dark tendrils from her right hand, binding the opponent and draining them of their life force. A ranged grapple attack that, should it fail to be broken in the first turn, deals 15% damage to an opponent, while at the same time healing Accord for 15% damage. Further attempts at failing to break the grapple will deal (and heal Accord for) an additional 2% damage. 4 turn cooldown.

Phantom Sword: Accord, after chanting an ancient hymn, conjures a giant greatsword of light and swings it around with some telepathic help! AoE attack with 75% chance to inflict Mortal Wound. [15% damage, 3 turn cooldown]

Inverse Boost/Curse: A two-for-one spell that costs 2 actions to perform. Inverse Boost blesses Accord with light, granting her 4 points to her DEX and CON for 3 turns. Inverse Curse, on the other hand, is a debuff spell that reduces a foe’s STR and WIS by 4 points for 3 turns. 4 turn cooldown.

Inverse Guardian: Using the forces of light and darkness, Accord summons a featureless humanoid figure made of both elements that floats behind her. Summoning it takes 2 actions, but Accord’s Stand Inverse Guardian makes it all worth it. The Inverse Guardian starts with 30 HP, and powers up Accord for a limited time after it gets summoned, adding a +1 to all her rolls for 3 turns. In addition, it comes with two attacks:

    • Chaos Fist: Accord sends the Inverse Guardian towards an enemy, as it punches them with a fist teeming with darkness. [20%, 1 turn CD]
    • Heaven’s Rain: The Inverse Guardian creates a ball of light that’s sent up in the sky and explodes into several miniature light beams that plague the battlefield. [AoE, 14%]

Should Accord fail to dodge an attack, The Inverse Guardian will take the hit in her stead. Once his HP is depleted, the Inverse Guardian will dissipate, and Accord will have to wait until she can resummon it. [5 turn cooldown]

[Mari]

Yare yare daze...

(You're good to go.)

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Oh my god that Accord revamp, what was I thinking when I did this.

I wish I can erase this from my mind, but alas, the only thing I can do right now is make her more accurate to her source once again.

...Basically, yet another rework comes your way, yayers-

---

Primary Attacks

Lento: Accord uses her magic cane/wand and creates small light orbs that hover in place before she waves the cane a bit, the orbs flying toward an opponent afterwards. She can opt to use small orbs or condense power to fire a larger light orb. [WIS, 8% ~ 18%]

Presto: Accord waves her wand upward, casting a medium-sized pillar of searing light below the opponent that lingers for a couple of seconds before it's dispersed. Due to the nature of the move, this attack targets a character's perception (WIS) rather than DEX. [WIS, 22%, 1 turn cooldown]

Popoi Hammer: Accord brandishes a giant hammer and swings it at an opponent, causing them great pain, and maybe a bit of a memory loss. Accord has a -1 to a dodge roll next turn upon using this attack, but by adding another -1 dodge penalty next turn, she can inbue the hammer with elemental properties, increasing the attack's damage by 2% and having it inflict either Burn, Freeze or Paralysis at her discretion. [STR, DMG 30%, 2 turn cooldown]

Special Attacks
Crescendo: For every 20 damage accumulated, Accord deals 1% more damage. For every 40 damage accumulated, Accord's WIS and STR Mods increase by 1.

Partition: Accord creates a barrier to absorb an incoming hit, adding its power to her for a brief moment. Accord must roll WIS against the attack in order to determine its success. If her roll is equal or higher than the attack, she will absorb the attack's power and store it, using it to power up her next attack by the same damage she absorbed as a free action. If she rolls lower, she takes the brunt of the attack and wastes an action to recover. If Accord's next attack is a combo, the damage bonus is only applied to the first instance of the combo. [3 turn cooldown]

FEVER!: Accord enters a feverish pitch, the immense power of Puyo popping giving her a large boost in power. For up to 5 turns, Accord gets an extra action, and she can reduce the cooldown on any one of her attacks by 1 for every attack she hit the previous turn after the first. Hitting just one attack won't trigger the second effect and hitting no attacks ends the buff prematurely. Activating it is a free action. [5 turn cooldown]

Popoi Lance: One example of Accord's unusual weaponry, she grabs the cat she carries around and chucks him at an opponent without a second thought. It's okay, Popoi's fine with it and he quickly returns to safety once the attack's done. If Accord rolls a 15+ with this attack, Popoi will take a moment to scratch the opponent, dealing 5 extra damage and inflicting Blind for 2 turns. [WIS, DMG 15%, 2 turn cooldown]

Final Smash
15 Chain: Comet Puyo

Ms. Accord hops into the air, and concentrates an amazing amount of nuisance Puyo energy that becomes a massive Comet Puyo. She then throws down on the opponents at blinding speed, causing an explosion that covers a small radius upon impact. Deal 65% AoE damage, and inflicts a turn of Severe Exhaustion on Accord.
