![]() Grandpa uses his rifle on a Copper Giclops on LOWAS, but he is unable to kill it before it absconds.Įquius' fistkind specibus implies that unarmed combat requires you to captchlogue certain body parts and apply them to your strife specibus. He can seemingly alter physical objects to his will and can even change time and space itself. Becquerel possesses the power to warp reality. Rose's Mom uses alcohol offensively and defensively, yet also possesses the vague moneykind Abstratus, giving her the ability to summon at will anything which she can afford ( which is plenty). Dave's Bro uses Lil Cal, lightning speed, a sword, and, again, unarmed combat all with equal effectiveness. John's Dad wields safes, lighters, shaving cream and cakes in addition to fighting unarmed. The guardians easily use whatever is at hand during Strife and all are far more skilled in combat than their charges. She assures Grandpa that the rifle she currently has allocated to her riflekind card "is a perfectly deadly gun shoots lots of incredibly deadly bullets". As a result, she is an excellent markswoman. Jade's Strife Specibus is set to riflekind, as there would be hell to pay if her Grandpa found her outside the house without a good firearm equipped. In a particular Strife with Bro, Dave's Strife Specibus is damaged and cut in half, changing his Kind Abstratus to ½bladekind. His skill with bladekind weapons is remarkable, to say the least, but Dave's skill pales in comparison to that of his Bro, who easily dodges or counters all of Dave's attacks. Alchemization provides her with more powerful magic-based needles.ĭave's Kind Abstratus is set to bladekind prior to the events of Homestuck, presumably through the list on the back of the card. However, her mother's Blotto-Parry easily evades the assault. Rose is slightly more adept at combat than John and is able to deal a series of attacks against her mother. Rose's Kind Abstratus is set to needlekind using her Knitting Needles. He later adds an "umbrellakind" Strife Specibus, which had been lying in the study, although this specibus is never seen in use. John acquires the bunnykind Strife Specibus, which was dropped by a Shale Imp, and stores it in his strife deck alongside the hammerkind Specibus. He resorts to weaponizing his Sylladex in Strife instead. His ability with hammers is initially rather poor, largely due to his strength being insufficient to wield a sledgehammer effectively on multiple occasions. John sets his Kind Abstratus to hammerkind and finds himself unable to change it. (However, the item must first be captchalogued - it cannot be placed in the Specibus directly from the player's environment.) It is probable that when the player is not in control of a character's actions, such as two of Dave's Strife scenes, the commands are set to either Assail or Assault and the player character acts freely without the need for input commands.Ī player is restricted for the most part to using the Kind Abstratus selected in his or her Strife Specibus, which can be set either by selecting an option from a lengthy dropdown list or by allocating an appropriate item to the Specibus. Then again, the commands' wordings, coupled with the overall outcome of Strife against Bec, indicate that Jade was simply playing with Bec and knew that she wouldn't be able to hurt him, thus making them special-case commands. For instance, Jade's battle commands during Strife with Becquerel imply offense, yet they are colored purple. However, due to the nature of the game, these standards may be bent and broken at any time and by any character. Basic offensive commands are shown in green, harsh offensive commands in red, defensive commands in blue, taunts in yellow, special-case commands in purple, and Abscond in magenta. It's possible that battle commands are classed by color-coding. Notably, all known battle commands begin with the letter "A". Different characters possess other battle options, such as Rose's ability to Aggrieve ( passively) and Abstain and John's ability to Accede. During Strife, opponents face-off against each other and the player issues commands to their player character.
