Dusty Ghosts

[Saiyajinzoningen]

ok so there is this Red side arc where you have a clone.

and on yellow side there's this arc where you battle D.U.ST. officers that spawn ghosts after u kill them.

would it be possible to have a ghost clone of yourself spawn after u get KO'd, at least during the Dust arc?

and yup you gotta fight the ghost 🙂

That's a really good question. So far, the suspicious characters that spawn the apparitions are coded to do so whereas nothing else is. They have next to no HP and are basically just combat capable triggers. In the arc where you fight the apparitions, there is a part where your character is possessed by at least 2 apparitions at the same time, but both leave your character before you are killed. I don't know if our characters can be made to spawn a ghost upon our defeat even in the arc about the D.U.S.T. and the Apparitions. However, I do need to point out that those apparitions are never clones of anyone they possess. They're mental fragments of other individuals. So it would make sense and possibly work if it could be coded if you're asking for a new Halloween arc/mission that spawns a clone of your character that is rendered ghostly in appearance since we can already encounter a clone of ourselves that at least uses different colors, but the idea doesn't really work for the First Ward content. Because none of the Apparitions are clones of anyone they possess.

 

(Even in the Hard Mode ITFs where if you are defeated a ghost/wraith/whatever you call those things that spawn from you if you are defeated aren't clones of your character.)

Edited to add missing "is", "but", and "if you are defeated".

in hard mode TFS wraiths spawn from us?

that's amazing! (I never team so TFs are just an ancient fever dream)

thanks 🙂

Yeah, when you fight Romulus after the Nictus merges with him, if anyone on the team is defeated, a wraith(?) is ripped out of their body and helps Rommie. It is highly advised you take those down 1st....

 

(Also, you can trio Hard Mode ITFs. Maybe even duo it. At least the 1-star version of it. So you don't need a team per se, just some reliable friends. Give it a try some time.)

 

Edit: Actually, I think you may fight Nictus clones of yourself in the Hard Mode ITFs. The three of us didn't realize the new Nictus type could take over your character (by killing him/her/them/it and spawning as a clone I think) so none of us rushed to stop a take over by one of the Nictus. It killed my friend's Scrapper, and when I rezzed her, she killed her clone and complained she wasn't an AV as a Nictus-possessed her.
