What If Special Part 1

Hello again everyone, although the next patch, V2.5 will delayed for quite some time.
I decided to kill some time by cooking up some ideas...
like what if Granado Espada has this kind of blah blah...so the What If Special is born.
this idea was inspired from the What If Comics from Marvel, for more info about the comic, you can visit this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_If_(comics)
the four part special will be posted every week of June

(Warning: the following feature is only fictional, this will never appear in future GE versions, this feature is only meant for entertainment)



So let's begin the first part....


What if...Granado Espada has this kind of feature in-game:

The Trinity Bond

A bonus buff is given to a family depending on what kind of characters are in the team,
these stats varies on what kind of character combination the family used.
The Trinity Bond can be attained thru a specific quest and can be activated when all characters in the team are level 50,
the buff increases at levels 75, Veteran and Expert.

*Side Note:
You can notice that the Kurt and Edward team is the only Buff that requires two characters since only there were only two barons in GE. And to make the Trinity Bond balanced, I added some penalties to every bonus stats, like for example in the "Firing Squad" buff although it increases the attack, it also reduces the defense of the family, while the opposite is affected on the "Royal Guard" buff; it increases the defense by sacrificing the attack of the family, so we can say that the Trinity Bond is like a double-edged sword. Also, the order of the characters doesn't affect the buff as long as you have the right characters.

So far these are the character combinations that I can think of, so if you guys have any comments and suggestions or even any character combination you want to contributed, feel free to comment on this page.

Come back next week for part two of my What If Special, and this time I'll be featuring RNPCs...Till next time
