definitely gonna put this on my w corp outis
this is the season of charge
i'll put kqe ego on my burn heathcliff
eternal berry
Heathcliff Holiday, Legerdemain, Yi Sang Bygone Days, Ryoshu Soda, and Sinclair Cavernous Wailing are the others I believe
There’s a bunch, not every Sinner has one yet

Needle is a pretty good debuff
And she also inflicts nails with it
So pretty count positive, this ego

I was just thinking of 8 which only goes to 33

At part one

But also it’s like a billion hours anyway because of the dungeon
Also unfortunately, it’s getting quite late and I’ve got class tomorrow
Combined with how this boss is kicking my ass

Just look at her birthday

Hmm that means ||the kid must still basically be a toddler||

cloud wadi
Wait
||are you telling me Ezra, in trying to describe how strong Vespa is, failed to disclose that he is a color fixer and instead referenced an anecdote of her punching him||
cloud wadi
Is the daughter’s age 4
crimson spindle
Because there are 5 fingers
I wonder if thats on purpose. Is there an odd one out?

do you basically just lose if you don't stagger the Wings before it does Ardor Blossom?

which means you have to ignore whatever skills the Body is using

That’s obvious as fuck

Gregor already has a Thumb-associate ID right

god DAMN
these nursefather fuckers have some AURA
Five Nights at Freddy's ass canto...

Index nursefather is confirmed to be ||Yi sang per don uptie, so we know with absolute certainty one of the future ids||

I feel like pinky apprentice is gonna be a Sinclair ID
ebon forge
Yeah
tiny cave
But yeah Index is confirmed to be ||Yi Sang||
cosmic gorge
Huuuh
tiny cave
We aren’t getting a colour ID this canto
But I’m gonna guess Hongler or Sinclair
Iirc Sinclair has no real 3* tremor ID (Thumb exists ig but his tremor infliction is awful) and hongler’s 3* tremor is getting replaced with lord of hongyuan
tiny cave
Fast mostly
Yurodivy is slow and you want to apply reverb early
Also Yurodivy’s skills are very mid anyway
ebon forge
I’m tempted to say it would probably have to be Meursault, ironically
Of all the people, he’s the one bound most to sloth
tiny cave
Yeah but he already has a cracked tremor ID
Surely they wouldn’t give him another cracked tremor ID
gentle mulch
ANOTHER CRACKED MEURSAULT ID
split beacon
ANOTHER 2 YEARS OF MEURSAULT SUPREMACY

||"Meursault. Become a Color Fixer."||

Ye but we all want big rick Heath so I don’t think we’ll get ||Nursefather heath||
ebon forge
||its probably gonna be a blended ID, imo||
Ishmael is pretty gloom/wrath/pride
I don’t know her sin counts though
hybrid lynx
Methinks next|| walpurgisnacht we’ll get the big borb ego suit id||
give it to hong
ebon forge
Sinclair is surprisingly… not as wrathful as I’d expect, like, he has 7/13, 50%
But tbf Heath is like the main one with a huge bias in sin affinities
8/14, if you count base ID though
Outis is very prideful with a good side of glut
tiny cave
oh this is fucking relentless
Are you fighting the ||pinky nursefather||
split beacon
Are you fighting the ||pinky nursefather||
aye

If so yeah you need to clash the ||green skills before her other skills|| and it can still be pretty EGO intensive

Ryoshu might also be doing her bullshit in her own canto too
split beacon
Burnmor most likely
cloud wadi
Where she’s the only one who’s not like the other in her own canto
split beacon
considering that Lucio is a Burnmor unit

Are we gonna beat up the ||Nursefathers|| ourselves or are we gonna get bailed out by the Red Fraud, the Yellow Chad and our other allies
split beacon
like they're an objective good in that we're not just churning out new stuff constantly for the sake of it, revisiting old ideas that could use more fleshing out is good

I like em
people are complaining about filler fights but like, honestly
i like just having

and it's really
not that many fights
nor are they even that hard

I just wish they weren’t all the exact same peccatula lmao

I hated Centipede, personally, but got over it quickly

tiny cave
As usual the only status that isn’t going to be represented is charge
Though Needle is interesting
I think it’s meant to make Middle IDs work better because they have bleed conds but inflict zero count
Wonder if we’ll get more IDs with Needle or if it’s just gonna be that ego

As usual the only status that isn’t going to be represented is charge
there's a Charge EGO in the season pass 😭
tiny cave
Charge EGO that doesn’t work well with Heathcliff’s new charge ID

def more of a burn one but it can let you run him in a funky comp

||Ezra really said " i'm sorry i onyl brought the really weird shit, i just wnated to show off okay" ||
||Fuckin mall ninja ass collection||
split beacon

all four actually can transform the pipe into a variety of cool weapons
ebon forge
pale damage sounds horrifying

||it was a plan that almost worked, but he had a fuckin moonstone on him||

Because when you have that much money you need to diversify a lot

MD star reasons usually

okay fair
but yeah madonka should be butler outis
and you can replace butler faust with index faust or butler outis with udjat outis
i wouldn't replace both tho unless you want to count your count a lot

hmmm
ive got an underleveled butler outis
actually
i think ill check which of my shards (fau or outis) i have the most of
and pick that
ebon forge
i feel like kod rodya, udjat outis would provide sufficient count
tiny cave
i feel like kod rodya, udjat outis would provide sufficient count
wildhunt is very negative
gunsang is slightly negative if he can clash, very negative otherwise
hanafishda is neutral if she heads hits
edgreg is +3 on s2 but negative on every other skill
if your other 3 ids are butler faust, udjat outis and kodion it should work
cosmic gorge
i mean theyre sinking ofc theyre a negative bunch /j
tiny cave
if you have index faust, udjat outis and kodion its much harder
cosmic gorge

ebon forge
udjat and kod are positive
tiny cave
udjat is actually negative iirc
ebon forge
and kod is pos asf
ebon forge
udjat is actually negative iirc
positive due to blue sand iirc
tiny cave
even attributing blue sand to her, her sheut fracture makes her negative
lemme see
she's ordinarily -1 on all skills, blue sand makes her +2
so in a normal 6 skill rotation she's +3
tiny cave
however she'll inflict 4*3 + 5*2 + 7*1 sheut fracture which is 29
so she's +0.1
that said you should probably use her defense over s1
cosmic gorge
alright, what's uadjat's playstyle
