Visual feedback is a tool used in order to communicate to the player what effect their input has on the game. Previous research has looked at how visual effects (VFX) can be used, but not how they could impact the players character choices. The type of VFX that is examined in this study are those belonging to the character's ultimate skills. In this study, six people have played a game where character choice is an important feature. The participants were interviewed using the method Stimulated Recall. These interviews were analyzed using a Thematic Analysis method. The results of the study indicate that certain visual cues in ultimate skill VFX impact player perceptions, which in turn affect character choices. These visual cues were categorized into the following themes: perception of role and efficiency, connection and weight, contrast, amount of detail, and visual delegates.
