Battle transmogs for heroes -- possible at some point?

Hey, I was curious if having attacks/elements/other triggers temporarily change a hero's battle sprite will be a feasible thing to implement sometime in the near future. Sadly, I'm not competent enough at coding to attempt it myself.

I think there might be some way of doing it now, but you should totally release something for the HotOHR and request this

Huh! I didn't check out that thread thoroughly until now. Thanks for the tip.

Would you need it to just change the hero's sprite? Or do you want it to change their battle menu and spells too?
Either way is tricky, and I wouldn't expect it soon, but it is possible.

More specifically I wanted it to be possible to change the hero's sprite only.
I was actually trying to spoof this by placing an enemy spawn on top of the hero's hitbox space on the right of the screen so it would alter the character's appearance in a crude way, but I learned that enemy sprites are sort of 'caged out' of that area. Not sure if just lifting that restriction would be possible or even easy, but I could certainly work with it.
And I wasn't thinking of doing a full on hero transmogrify, but that would actually be really neat! Could have heroes with 'stances', different base stats and skill sets that can be hotswapped during battle for strategic depth. That'd be awesome.

Actually, it would be quite easy to remove the restriction on placing enemies over the hero area in battle formations. That is something I have been meaning to do for a while, and I will make that change soon.
As for hero formation stances, I was planning on something like that, including the stat bonuses. It is fairly complicated, so it will take a while, but it is planned. That would mainly be for simulating front-row/back-row stuff, so it would have to be separate from any feature to change hero pictures or transmogrify heroes.
