So check it out. What I have here is a set of abilities from the Overwatch Hero Baptiste that I've redesigned. Two goals I had being to focus on aesthetics and how his kit discreetly functions during gameplay i.e nothing taking on too much space, as short as necessary. On aesthetics, I felt a lot of old-school charm in how his abilities appear in the latest iteration of the game so I tried to design my synth patches to have a lot of bouncy clean pulse or sine waves manipulations/responses. Pitch shifting works like a charm to get what I'd call a star warsy laser pew. For the other more detailed synth work it was my regular process of synthesizing neuro style synth and resampling it 2-3x over heavily through a variety of effects to get synth screams, growls and squels. Stutter Edit by Izotope in particular works like a dream for getting some goodness really quickly but in general very flagrant filtering and your choice of spice (phaser, flanger, frequency shifting, delay + pitchshifting, chopped up time stretched samples + convolution ) gets you all kinds of wacky goodness. I'm finding that there are really no wrong answers just different flavours.

Finally, I'll highlight doing a reverse + reverb + reverse on some metal samples to get a lot of interesting tonal airy suction noises that I used to characterise a lot of the jump actions present on baptiste.
