Ash “Reborn” Idea

Hello I’m just a dude who wants to get my idea of a potential Ash “reborn” through, it sounds farfetched but the more I explain it the more it will make more sense and why a ash rework might actually be something she needs cause as of right now she’s probably the most disappointing legend, a character straight from Titanfall 2 a literal pilot being really boring to play and really weak compared to other legends and her kit not thematically suiting her at all which leads me to my idea of a rework for ash, now I’m not perfect and I’m not a game dev but I hope these pointers can lead to something similar to my idea but with that out of the way my suggestion.

 

Central theme of the rework “ash and Leigh”,

“Arc” and “Phase” and being the blade master that she is constantly shown to be

And to be more faithful as a successor to Ronin from Titanfall 2

 

Ultimate rework: Phase Breach: 2 minute cooldown

using your sword, quickly Slash at a angle in front of you, You will phase and Dash 30 meters in whatever direction you are looking. Anything obstructing you will cut the dash short, at the end of the dash you will keep the momentum meaning you can slide and/or launch yourself in the air.

You can use this ultimate at 50% charge therefore you can use this ultimate twice in a row if you wanted or save the second dash for later

(No longer leaves a portal for teammates just a personal dash)

 

Tactical rework: Arc Slash, 15 second cooldown

Using you’re energized sword swiftly slash horizontally in front of you sending a wave of arc electricity in a aimed direction, this attack will deal 30 dmg to shields and 10 dmg to flesh and enemies will be slowed similarly to a arc star, this attack goes through enemies and such can hit multiple enemies in its limited range of 20 meters

Anyone who is in melee distance will take 30  additional dmg from the sword itself on top of the arc wave, totaling to 60 dmg to someone with shield and 40 dmg to someone who’s flesh,

the melee attack can break through doors and simultaneously dmg anyone through the door if they happen to be in range of the melee attack

 

(Unchanged but buffed) Marked for death: you can scan death boxes of enemies you and your teammates kill to find the remaining enemies on that team

 

In essence she is a lot more selfish but a lot more capable as a Individual Legend. She imo has enough things in her kit that benefit the team mainly her scans and map awareness, the thing about her and everyone including myself was disappointed that she doesn’t use the sword for combat and her sword is instead just a glorified portal

 

The idea I had was to bring in the abilities of Ronin from Titanfall 2 and put it in apex while simultaneously making her utilize her sword more

 

Phase Dash as her ultimate

Arc wave as her tactical

 

If they ever do a rework of her kit these are the things I would do. Just make her into Ronin and more combat focused like revenants rework

    I understand the character was really hyped up for a fat mintue to just come out pretty underwhelming, most characters that come out now have so much utility but Ash feels like shes is missing something. My friend mains her and her abilies are ok, but her passive is kinda butt basic awareness or map knowledge and you will get the same effect. Although I do like the dash idea i feel it could be used in a different way. I just wanted to share my ideas. I'll start with Ultimate keep the same format going. 

    I think the Phase Breach becoming a selfish ult dash would only make her be used less her ultimate how it is rn is one of the best repositioning tools imo. I would want her to keep it but give it a buff in range to like 75m as thats its only downfall the fact it can only go so far. My second thought is give it a way to toggle its aim assist, e.g pressing and holding aim in caused it to begin locking on to closer ledges. Unaimed you could place it literally as far as you could. 

    I would want her tactical to be something damaging just hard to say what

    (Wishful) I am not a fan of the tactical of Ash it realistaclly servers no purpose its kinda crappy so I think using the Phase Dash would be cool here however instead of being range limited only it can only let you dash towards those on your team or at an enemy. Dash under 30m. I feel like this would give a better feeling as to how Ash was in Ttianfall 2

    Other Idea is let her hold more then one decrease the wilggle room they have.

    (Extreme) Last idea the Arc sends them to the void for 5 sec, shows where they where the arc hit them, in phase no guns, no trail to where they went but they cant see out of it blind both sides but this makes for a very strong win condition for fights. 

    Passive needs a big buff, Like you said Marked for death: you can scan death boxes of enemies you and your teammates kill to find the remaining enemies on that team. I would like an addition that she can interrogate a downed enemy to show where the rest of their team is.
