Yes, I heartily approve of this weapon for a Sylph of Heart. Or you could simply max out the strength on your scissor half, astounding enemies with much larger weapons when then find their greatsword being overpowered by such a small blade. Very effective for dealing with team-killers, which is a sad duty often fulfilled by Sylphs. 01 seconds, fooling your enemies into thinking you have only a small dagger, when suddenly BAM they get a scissor tip through the shoulder. For example, you could program it to extend ten feet in. Which means you can sneak some very interesting attributes into your little ½ scissor-kind. It gives Heart players one of the most overpowered abilities in SBURB, by allowing them access to high-level equipment much earlier than usual. The most common use of The Shiny Thing is to jack up the stats on a weapon or piece of armor. However, using The Shiny Thing on sentient beings is very difficult, and not even God Tier Heart Players can pull it off very well, in most cases. Heart players can make only minor changes to other Player’s average stats, and no changes at all to their personality. The only programming that surrounds Players is their stats and inventory. The Players, on the other hand, are not pure coding. That means that high-level Heart Heroes are capable of completely rewriting NPC’s personalities and statistics. It works better on NPC’s than actual Players, because NPC’s are entirely coding, products of SBURB. Heart players can fiddle with it, and literally change the person or thing they are messing with. It represents the coding that resides within each game abstraction. The closer a Heart Hero is to their opponent, the more opportunity to activate The Shiny Thing.įor those of you unaware, The Shiny Thing is a big ball of, well, shiny stuff that Heroes of Heart can pull out of just about anything.

That’s not to say that all Sylphs are quite like that, it just seems to be a consistent trait among most of the Sylph’s I’ve seen in action.Īnyway, yes, I approve of this weapon for a Heart player especially, because it allows them to get up close and personal with the enemy they are fighting. Sylphs are often some of the most level-headed people in a Session, so they need to be equipped to deal with some of the more….unsavory sorts. Ah yes, I happen to be a fan of sharp things in the hands of Sylphs.
