Unimportant, but what about renaming the Autarchs Forceshield...

to Mantle of the Laughing God. Its a very iconic Autarch build on the TT.

Yes, its not exactly an Energyshield, but the effects on the TT are basically, get fucking tanky.
Yes, its no more in the newest Codex... we got some semiuseless pistol instead.

Just interested how you guys feel, I can definitly see arguments speaking against it :D But Forceshield is so lame, and doesn't really fit an Autarch.

If we want to go the extra step, we could change the actuall Forceshieldupgrade to more resemble the Mantle of the Laughing God in a Lore way, I guess we would give it infiltration then? (shrouded and stealth). But thats only a far fetched Idea, its clear it would need balancing. (Edit: as an easy "fix" maybe just give the Autarch invis while standing still or in cover with it)

But actually I would like it if this upgrade was changed a bit, I always thaught not only name but also the effect were pretty lame.
It just makes you tankier and you need it, but on the other hand reduces the energy that you have available for the cool stuff, like jumping through the air.

On that note, the Spear is also relative lame, it just does exactly the same as the sword, just double the damage. It looks cooler and you can't use your pistol, but thats it. Probably that upgrade is there, so that you have the choice between, I want a cheap Autarch for disruption and the nades and the buffs/heals, or I want her to also do damage. Still, its kinda lame.

Any other Ideas?/Discuss!

But this is like calling a pancake a waffle, it's a forceshield by form and function and by changing it to mantle of the laughing god it's needlessly long, a mouthful to say and doesn't fit in with most Autarch skins.

MotLG? :D
I guess it could use a new Icon then...
for the actuall effect we can just pretend that it is a distortion field, that makes it harder to see the Autarch... Right? :D

Nah seriously, no problem I knew this Idea had its weaknesses :P

Sounds like a Harlequin item

The Mantle of the Laughing God has been removed in the newest edition, along with all the Harlequins.
