    Archer is the only class that isn't using the spacebar. My suggestion, they should use the spacebar for something. Maybe a dagger or smoke bomb, I don't know.

    Come with suggestions and we can discuss them! Please don't post posts about how bad this thread is or something like that. I don't wanna hear such shit!

    Suggested things:

    - Knife
    - Smoke bomb
    - Evading-fall-damage-roll

    Updating this.

    Builder doesn't exactly use spacebar in the way your describing.

    Still I like the idea of a knife added in again, would be a bit better for those ninja like archers (me).

    The knife is such a badass thing that would easily be able to come back and it wouldn't make archers op, it would just encourage archers to not camp. How much damage should it deal? Maybe 3 in the back and 1,5 in the front for insta kill builders at the battlefield. Slow reload. I guess you should be able to use it while crouching and maybe while grappling.

    KNIFE IS AWESOME!

    Please come with other suggestions.

    The knife was a shitty mechanic that relied on ping bullshit.

    Now, a smoke bomb, I do not hate that idea.

    A knife would start a whole knew flame war on why archers are op, especially if it did 1.5 hearts of damage. Smoke bombs would be nice though.

    Only 1 on back. 0.5 normal attack.

    Smoke bomb as a rechargeable would be cool.

    Please come with own suggestions.

    Thanks for comments though. :heart:


    Edit: What about a trap which immobilizes the enemy for 5 sec or so?

    Knifes have been suggested before and were rejected. Also they were in the game and were removed. So that suggestion is pointless. Smoke bombs? Since when are KAG's archers supposed to be ninjas?

    Smoke bombs ? hmm
    1: how could he use it?
    2: isn't it like water arrows?

    knives may be good for chopping wood and necks :archer:

    Archers are pretty acrobatic I don't think it'd be bad if they could be more ninja-like. I think smoke bombs would be cool but you wouldn't want it to be spammed. I think a single smoke bomb per life would be fair. I sometimes lose knight fights because I can't see the person due to the tree blocking them. Smoke bombs would allow for something similar. I think a nice idea for an archer could be less fall damage or an item they can purchase for an extra heart? Maybe those are OP but just make the item expensive and can also be purchased by builders?

    Well, maybe you have to buy the smoke bomb in the archer's shop, 15g or something like that. Spawning with a smoke bomb is TTH style.

    Roll that lets you pass through entities like you were crouching (not damage though), and when timed properly, should negate or at least reduce fall damage.(Although I feel a recharge timer should be put on it so it isn't abused) Just something I've kind of always wanted to see, and I know @Nighthawk wants it as well.

    Rolling is a perfect idea! It could inspire special ops archers that sneak behind enemy lines acting dead every so often lmao

    I suggested "kicking boots" back when I was a little noob and I still don't think they're that terrible of an idea.

    Devs probably aren't going to add any items though, so if nothing else how about holding spacebar for special arrows, and when you release it it goes back to normal arrows? It would pick the one you have selected in your inventory. This would help prevent accidental wasting of arrows, and I just think it's generally too cumbersome to switch arrows in the heat of battle.

    Did any of you guys know that if you hit F it automatically swaps over to the next arrow? All you then have left to do is look at the bottom of your screen to see which one it swapped to (normal -> water -> fire -> bomb -> normal, that's the cycle)...

    Anyway, if you keep going in this thread like you're now, then I'll have to lock it since it's violating the "one suggestion per thread" rule. If the OP can't make up a proper suggestion there's no point in having this thread (last warning).
