//Light — Type
Light represents clarity, reveal, and purification: reveal hidden enemies, remove debuffs, and provide temporary buffs to allies.
▸Attributes
| Element | Damage Type | +ve Status on Self | -ve Status on Target | Affinities | Effective Against | Resistant To |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light | Holy / Beam | Radiant | Exposed | Mirrors, prisms, suns | Dark, Ghost, Chaos | Dark, Psychic, Arcane |
▸Mechanics
- ▪Radiant Pulse: Light Recons can emit a pulse that removes "Blinded" or "Shrouded" statuses from nearby allies and reveals invisible enemies.
- ▪Exposed Weakness: Dealing Light damage applies "Exposed," a status that increases the damage the target takes from the next allied hit.
- ▪Purifying Field: Light Triage units can create a field that slowly cleanses one random negative status effect every 2 seconds for any ally inside.
▸Design Cues
- ▪VFX: High-contrast glows, bloom transitions, and sharp white-gold beams. "Lens flare" effects during high-impact ultimate casts.
- ▪SFX: Choral audio stingers, crystalline pings, and uplifting "harmonic" tones (Mass Effect + Hades uplift).
▸Typical Abilities (design template)
- ▪Passive — Clarity: reduces the duration of Blind and Shrouded effects on self by 50%.
- ▪Tactical (1) — Luminous Flare: fire a bright projectile that reveals enemies in a small area.
- ▪Core (2) — Sun beam: a sustained beam that deals damage and applies Exposed status.
- ▪Special (3) — Purification: removes all negative status effects from a target ally and grants a small shield.
- ▪Ultimate (4) — Dawn's Radiance: a massive burst of light that heals allies and reveals all enemies in a giant radius.
▸Synergies & Counters
- ▪Synergies: Arcane (energy amplification), Cosmic (celestial themes), Triage (extra cleansing).
- ▪Counters: Dark (absorbs light), Ghost (hard to pin down), Chaos (distorts clarity).
▸VFX & Audio Notes
- ▪Palette: brilliant whites, golden blooms; lens flare effects, high-contrast glows and choral harmonic stingers.
