[Suggestion, QoL] Ghost costume place holder flag in Class quest teams or Better way to handle Class quest teams and 5* HotM costumes
Costume 5* HotM
It is deliberately difficult to get 2x copies of a costumed, Lv85 5*+20 HotM hero
Example
2x c.Gravemaker Lv85 5*+20
costume 5* HotM meta is great for SGG spend depth ( grind, speed ups, loot boxes, see notes )
But it is sub optimal for Class quests
Class quest team
You can only change your Class quest team 1 day out of 35 days - when that particular Class quest is active
If you change a hero’s class, 34 days out of 35 days, it leaves a empty slot in that particular Class quest team
Example
Trial of Justice can only be changed every 35 days when Trial of Justice is active
You can have a Class quest team with all empty slots, just because all 5x heroes on the team changed to a Forbidden class once in the 34 days prior to the Class quest
Ghost costume
Base stats
Create a ghost costume for all heroes
The ghost costume is a costume with Attack 0, Defense 0, HP 0
Example
Ghost Gravemaker costume is Attack 0, Defense 0, HP 0
Element
The element for a ghost costume is the color the hero is weak
Example
Red Gravemaker is weak to blue, making Ghost Gravemaker costume blue Attack 0, Defense 0, HP 0
Development cycles
Ghost costumes are designed to be stat changes only, not graphics heavy, to reduce development cycles and keep client software size smaller
Implementation
When a hero changes to a forbidden class, instead of removing the hero from the Class quest team, set a flag for a Ghost costume placeholder
Example
Changing Gravemaker to a Paladin will set the Ghost costume flag in non Paladin Class quests, while changing back to Barbarian will undo the flag
Changing Gravemaker to a Barbarian will set the Ghost costume flag in non Barbarian Class quests, while changing back to Paladin will undo the flag
Class quest team display
When displaying the Class quest team, if the hero is currently set to a forbidden class, the client software will display the Ghost costume placeholder ( ghost costume flag is set )
Removed from Class quest
Heroes will only be removed from a Class quest team, if the hero is removed from the account ( example - a hero is used to level another hero )
Icon
All Ghost costumes are ghost class, so the displayed costume will display the ghost class icon
Greyed out
For user friendly GUI, ghost costumes are always greyed out
