Here's a little BST HUD for your pet.

It displays:
- Lovely art from Eiffel + Monster Correlation hint
- Pet Name
- Pet HP and Pet TP bars
- Ready Moves charges left and charges cooldown timer
- List of Ready Moves.

A massive thanks to Eiffel for the pet art and Falkirk for the most amazing BST guide. Killer Instinct
Thanks to Tylas for the HP/TP bar images.

The addon can be found here:
GitHub: BST-HUD

This is great! Thank you for doing this. I was wondering if there was a way to add pet ecosystem and its correlation. That would be helpful.

Haha well if you look closely at the little icon at the bottom right of each Pet artwork it’s the corresponding monster correlation your Pet is strong against.

So for example in the pictures above FatsoFargann is Amorph so he’s strong against Birds (there is a small bird icon bottom right).
VivaciousVickie is a Beast so she’s strong against Lizards.

(BraveHeroGlenn is an EasterEgg he’s only strong against Falkirk)

After having a chance to use it a little more, I continue to adore this addon.

One minor issue I've found: Swooping Zhivago doesn't seem to pull in the right picture. Ready moves are fine, it's just using the wrong image (the default Brave Hero Glenn, with little weak-to-frog Falkirk LMAO). I haven't encountered any issue with the handful of other pets I've tried out so far: Arthur, Randy, Bertha, Shizuna, Fargann.

About the only other possible things I might suggest as a future improvement would be:
(1) A small notation with the ready moves to indicate type: blunt, pierce, slash, magic/element, buff (though perhaps that's trickier to implement than it may appear, would totally understand if it's something like the move names/charges get pulled in automatically through the move ID and would need manual editing to add more info)
(2) List ready move SC/MB properties, but I could see a reasonable argument against it due to adding more clutter.

Fantastic addon, thank you so much!

Aha ! Good catch ! I actually did a typo in the image for Swooping Zhivago, there was a space between the two parts of the image name, and in game the Pet names are actually a single string so it wasn't finding a matching image and defaulting to Glenn.
If you manually remove the space between the two parts of the name from the image it should fix it.

I'm about to upload a fix to GitHub and also adding pet icons for some NQ jugs.

Ah yes it would definitely be a cool idea, I'd need to find an elegant way of storing/pulling all that info for each ready move on the fly.

Small update.
I've drawn two new pet icons for some obscure jug families that nobody uses.

I've never been good at bst but I have always appreciated Falkirk's guide and his input. You did a great job with this.

It's so funny to see the difference, even though I tried to stick to Eiffel's art style for the pets I thought were missing, it's just not the same. I still prefer his !

Yet ANOTHER reason for Falkirk to have a purple bar! Contact your local Rooks!

BTW, great job Nalfey :D
