Foot soldier NEW ability

Foot soldier could use an "Aid kit" in the ability of stinky cloud (just one to chose from both), like in real life soldiers has those kits in emergency and can be helpfull in some cases, in game it can heal a little hp like 10-15 or take away fire and poison, it could take the time of one short gesture to use it and the same amount of time to recharge than the cloud

With this foot soldier would be even more versatile than he is, because he is still the same since the very start, it needs a change and a update

Sorry my bad english

  • One of the things I like about GW1 and GW2 is that the classes have a very clear concept in that they are obviously intended to serve certain roles. If you want a sniper you go for a Cactus or Pirate, if you want melee you use Chomper or Super Brainz for example. Different variants of each character class blend the original concept with another concept so you have things like the Cactus which is a sniper class, the Camo Catus which is an enhanced sniper class and the Bandit Cactus which leans heavily into the medium range Assault category.

    My point is that while character variants for a class can lean into other areas in how they can be played due to how their weapons operate their special abilities don't intrude into an area governed by another class.

    If you give the Foot Soldier minor healing abilities as an alternate ability, reducing the need for a Scientist on the team, what is next? For the next new alternate ability do you give him an underpowered Z-Mech so he can cross into the Imp's territory? Do you enable a weaker Kick attack borrowed from Super Brainz? How about a machinegun nest which resembles the Engineer's Big Bolt Blaster or artillery like the Pirate's Cannon Rodeo?

    I like having separate and distinct classes and I think the class variants do a good job as it is in blending different aspects together without completely stepping on the toes of another class.

    Just like you said, even in one class each character is very diferent from another, this new ability doesnt affect much scientist, most of time foot soldier is rushing or on a roof when both scientist cant reach him

    The "sniper" class both pirate and cactus when someone sees you and if u get hit u have 2 options to do while your hp recovers, go to another place or use the drone while you heal, snipers dont need aid kit of 15hp or poison-fire heal.. thats the least class who would need aside from tanks

    Foot soldier would use it after striking someone, just use the aid kit after killing someone , cut the poison or have a minor heal to stand a chance against other foe and keep going forward, thats where he exploits more his class, going forward with rocket leap, not in back sniping like you said it would be useful

  • That would be cheap for any non-Healing classes to have the ability to self heal. That's why we have Heal Zombie as your backup. I just use Smoke Grenades to obscure the turrets and finishing off weakened foes. Remember that this is PvZ Garden Warfare, not Battlefield.

    Isnt going to replace scientist if you heal youself for 10 or cut the posion-fire every 40 seconds lol In this case you heal lots more just standing while not getting hit

    the thing is to get a plus to rush the enemies or dont die by fire-poison after killing the plant and keep going

    Just saying this. Imagine a ton of soldiers using this ability. They would be practically invincible.

    It wont make any diference in battle just after battle when the enemy already died

    u wouldnt use a gesture in middle of the battle just to heal 10hp  or take fire-poison away do you?
