and also man

the fanart

has been popping the fruck off this canto

[ebon forge]

Look if I was Hong Lu’s EN VA id go NUTS with his screams

[vagrant dove]

The correct hongler gif

They actually made this man undergo the plot of a Kafka novel

Bravo KJH

||I think I'm still haunted by that whimpering after he kills Lucio, my poor bug guy...||

||Also I love how viscerally wrong the Roach Emperor was||

||like the way it's lines are written make it almost Lovecraftian||

||and that performance really sells it||

[neat cedar]

||no yeah, especially the fuckin. . . "and Suddenly one day, we will crawl from your bed while oyu slumber in warmth"||

it's such a fuckin horrid visual as well as filled with such

spite

[vagrant dove]

Yeah

[neat cedar]

IT's not just a call for destruction, it is a statement that NOWHERE IS SAFE

any safe place you have will be taken, corrupted, and infested

there is no running, there is no hiding, there is only the end that is coming

this is a very intensive phobia of mine, so it uh. . . it hit deep

||Not a fear of bugs, but a fear of bugs being in places they should not be, invading my personal spaces||

[vagrant dove]

||"They crawl out unheralded from betwixt all the lines that form where walls meet." was one that got me||

[neat cedar]

yeeeeeeeeeerp

fuuuuuckin hate it

it's so good

but fuck

[ebon forge]

Gregor is summoning a full on GLITCH RPG wrong here

[neat cedar]

||Then there was also the chant. "March marchconsumeprocreateconsume. . . . march||

||It very much gets across the vibe of an inhuman consciousness that is speaking through Greg||

[vagrant dove]

I think the most effective boss presentation was still ||muga ryoshu just- erasing everything (she's honestly the actual boss of 9-49)||

||i thought my game was bugged||

||but gregor's passives and santiy showing he was still conscious inside of that thing fucked me up||

||my poor bug guy||

[neat cedar]

||For me the fucked thing was A) no positive sanity gain and B) -90 sp if he kills someone||

||there was no mechanical reason to make it -90, but it perfectly shows through mechanics how much the thought of hurting someone like this destroys him||

[vagrant dove]

I so badly want him to be happy but ||1) he's based on a kafka protag, and 2) it's the fucking city||

[neat cedar]

mhmmm

[faint pivot]

I love how stupid ||Hermes is for their supposed omniscience||

This canto

[faint pivot]

It merely ||replicated the events leading to the creation of its ideal fighters, not understanding the concepts that went behind the people it's trying to copy||

[vagrant dove]

Does ||Hermes powerscale||

[faint pivot]

||Argalia was the laziest copy, Yan was barely an improvement, and Roland was F for Effort cause that was a flat miss lmao||

[vagrant dove]

||I like how rien doesn't even like half the weapons he has||

[faint pivot]

Or wait, I guess ||Yan wasn't Hermes' jig||

[neat cedar]

||yeah I don't think Sora was meant to be Yan in any way||

[faint pivot]

I'm guessing ||he'd have the full arsenal had he truly became him||

[faint pivot]

Referring to ||the Messenger prescripted to falsify his prescripts, in InFau's UT story||

[neat cedar]

Oh yeah i think that was just like

a way to introduce that concept to Limbus only peeps

because I think the idea is VERY IMPORTANT to trying to understand the index

[faint pivot]

That's part of it I believe, rather than the only reason it's there

[neat cedar]

oh def not the only bit

but I think that understanding the concept of both A) forging prescripts and the new one of B) sometimes the best way to follow a prescript is to not follow it

were both incredibly important concepts for understanding this canto

[mystic ermine]

alright now what could you possible mean by B

[split beacon]

this is literally something in InFaust's uptie story

[neat cedar]

I mean what i say

[mystic ermine]

well, don't have her, didn't see it
...how does... does that relate to understanding this Canto, though

[split beacon]

she directly tells a Messenger "you're stupid, you should've realized that prescript wasn't as simple as literally doing what it says on the paper"

[split beacon]

Rien

[neat cedar]

That's just my thoery but it feels very important as a note

[split beacon]

||He was supposed to stop his family's slaughter or at least try so he'd become a proper Roland copy instead of a hollow replica||

||Instead he just stood there and did nothing||

[neat cedar]

same as how Ujat outis' styory shows that Limbus company cannot be trusted

[split beacon]

This is why Rien is a failure

[neat cedar]

or at least so goes my theory

but i think it's a very solid read

[split beacon]

nah it ties up the stray end with Rien

which is why him

[vagrant dove]

||so does one of Rien's passives- which makes me wonder what else the company has been doing behind our back||

||or might do||

[neat cedar]

but there is a lot to the index so fuckin much

[mystic ermine]

||but he did follow the prescript, and had he not, he would have been (he'd've lmao) been disfavoured by Hermes, no? In his mechanics, he's less likely to draw the coin he should for his respective pierce/slash/blunt skills depending on his carmic consequence, indicating that he must follow them, as otherwise, he would have fallen out of grace||

[split beacon]

plus it puts Rien's daughter and all of his story into context and neatly fits it all together

[neat cedar]

Dias is such a scum fuck

[split beacon]

Not all Prescripts are so easy to follow as just doing what they say is the thing

[neat cedar]

Maybe, but we don't know for certain

[vagrant dove]

I don't think it's gonna end well for Dias to be honest

Given who she's uh

[mystic ermine]

reading Faust uptie
What the fuck, guys

[vagrant dove]

Based off

[neat cedar]

||because despite the fact ath he followed every prescript, he still ended up out of favor and in the spider's house||

[split beacon]

also remember

[neat cedar]

welcome to the index

[split beacon]

you don't end up in the House of Spiders for being an exemplary officer of the Fingers

[neat cedar]

they are like that

[split beacon]

you end up there because you're a failure that your higher-ups intend to bury for all time

and in that respect

[neat cedar]

when people say "oh yeha, being in the index is easy"

[split beacon]

Rien isn't different than Valencina, Matthias, or Callisto

[vagrant dove]

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

[neat cedar]

they do not realize just how wacky and nonsense the prescripts can get

[mystic ermine]

no, I mean, I know that the Index is fucked up and evil
but
like
||grill your own head and serve it to your neighbour medium rare||? I didn't know we were in... urgh... W Corps Distrcict

[neat cedar]

yeah

Prescripts are fucked

[split beacon]

but the thing about Prescripts is beyond just being fucked

they're also interpretable

[neat cedar]

mhmm

[split beacon]

there's skill in figuring out what the Prescript wants from you, or a way of solving it that makes sense and thinks around the obvious problems it's throwing at you

after all they only seem random

[neat cedar]

mhmm

but they are being sent with some purpose

some way in how doing this, in a butterfly effect manner, helps further the finger's goals

[split beacon]

ultimately I'm afraid that Rien was kind of the worst Proxy

[neat cedar]

if it didn't work

they wouldn't be a finger

[vagrant dove]

Yeah he wasn't able to interpret Preacripts

[split beacon]

he's terrible at interpretation

[vagrant dove]

Just follow them

[neat cedar]

yeeeeeeeeah

YEEEEEAAAAAH

[vagrant dove]

Which is not what the Index wants

[split beacon]

a truly excellent Proxy, after all, doesn't just execute prescripts

they guide their Familia and explain how to read prescripts to those who are confused

[neat cedar]

||Imitation of a Father indeed||

[split beacon]

also I appreciate that the Index's "native" language when terms aren't rendered in plain English seems to be Latin

you know, not leaning into the religious inspirations too hard, but still casually implying that the Index is that for Cityfolk

[neat cedar]

mhmm

[split beacon]

the white and gold aesthetic too, it's subtle but it's there

if you've ever been to the Vatican you know what it's supposed to evoke

[neat cedar]

going into this canto, i thought i understood the index pretty much entirely

coming out, i realize that I know NOTHING

[cloud wadi]

Hound of tindalos…

There does seem to be implication that index have internal factions

Between the different gods

[karmic escarp]

||so how much of a coincidence is it that the first canto we get to see whats up with greg is the canto where we get access to the last two dante abilities that match the sephira charms on suddenly one day||

[vagrant dove]

FIND OUT how this proxy is so literalist he ends up going against the Will of the City

HERMES hates him!

[split beacon]

Hermes loves him, but not enough for a third chance

[karmic escarp]

||if the other Wills are named after the other greek gods do you think theyll show up in outis's canto ||

[cloud wadi]

Hermes seems to have a

Rather sick sense of humor

Downright cruel

Compared to south index

Loom index

[cloud wadi]

Well consider this

||poseidon is a god of the sea but it’s also a god associated with earthquakes||

[karmic escarp]

WAIT TRUE

[cloud wadi]

||vibrations||

[karmic escarp]

||malkuth is still 'unstable' too which could mean nothing! ||

[vagrant dove]

So we've had uhh

Norse mythology references with relics

[cloud wadi]

There’s gotta be a Mjolnir somewhere

Valencina’s sword is supposedly a very special sword too yeah?

[ebon forge]

anyways i love how this is all leading to Outis's canto being absolutely fucked

imo Meursault's canto is gonna be completely opposite to Ryoshu's

it's going to focus entirely on his story, probably

[cloud wadi]

I love that Vergil’s best friend ||apparently was a bloodfiend btw||

[vagrant dove]

Valencina as Odin is a really funny parallel by the way (both are missing a natural eye in exchange for being given knowledge, it's just Valencina's is limited to just precog)

[ebon forge]

Motherfucker is a Uchiha

[cloud wadi]

||he still lingers in his thought so much that his ego skill is called Funeral for a Dead Bloodfiend||

We are just gonna have a nice little war for canto 11

[ebon forge]

||honestly is it just me or does Vergilius feel a lot like Itachi||

[cloud wadi]

Let us fight the r corp decisive weapon

And it’s just a giant mecha

Driven by a borderline illegal AI program

[ebon forge]

inb4 it's just that one -1 cost ruina infinite cycle with 50,000,000 Myos

[cloud wadi]

Honestly that could be a decisive weapon

Just print out 50,000,000 myos and unleash them all

And then trigger integrated explosives to kill them all at the end

[ebon forge]

i would like myself 2 Myos

also

imo

Callisto could've been perfect

like, he just needed to be a teacher

that's it. he would've been so, so happy as a teacher

like, he's not inspired, but that's fine, because he can create and show live recreations of numerous artists

god, i love Callisto

I love him so so so much

this dude, istg, i WANT him to teach me ring art (if im fine with gore, which i might be, in a pmoon world)

[hybrid lynx]

honestly i think i'd make a decent ring member

[ebon forge]

lmao

[neat cedar]

mood

[ebon forge]

imma redo the two fights i didnt ex on

[mystic ermine]

THE CARNIVAL!!!

[neat cedar]

yeeee boi

[mystic ermine]

Exhausted? Tired. Hungry? Want rest. Want out?

[faint pivot]

This is probably a fake prescript considering how simple it is

[mystic ermine]

Himdeul-eoss-eoyo?

[neat cedar]

they seem.to be fully under the index's sway now

[faint pivot]

The messenger was told do so after all

[mystic ermine]

Alright
that's kind of dope

uh.
well
I read through it

aaand I'm a bit confuddled

what was the Messenger supposed to do?

Make them... oh!

what if he made them ||obviously false, and clearly stated that these are not real prescripts?||
he was only told to ||make fake prescripts, and distribute them - nothing about needing to conceal them, nothing about needing to be secretive, nothing about them needing to be executed.||

just ||"Make false prescripts and distribute them"||

[faint pivot]

I can't help but if this is to broadcast ||"hey, y'know those potentialities we closed off in the prequels? how sure are you they're closed off?"||

[mystic ermine]

Her sword?
I believed it was her ||eye||

[cloud wadi]

Her sword and her eye

Was given to her by her family upon ascending to sottocapo status

[faint pivot]

My guess is ||distort, considering we have Rolol and Argaliass in one person||

[mystic ermine]

because!
the prescipt that Faust got was ||"Kill the Liar in...", right? So, ahd he not lied ||

[cloud wadi]

Before she used a bayonet

[faint pivot]

InDon ||received "kill the doors of the ceiling" soooo||

[ebon forge]

yeah a yan copy makes sense

[mystic ermine]

Lmao
To: Messenger
Content: ||DISTORT DISTORT DISTORT DISTORT DISTORT DISTORT DISTORT DISTORT||
but yes, I can see the Index trying to make more ||Distortions / E.G.O users||

[mystic ermine]

uh.

The fuck dos

well, I am no index, and not well versed

so

I can be excused

for not knowing this shit

[faint pivot]

This is in the context of ||fighting the researcher donning Dimension Shredder in order to steal it||

After the latter ||vaults into the ether, she receives the prescript, and concludes that she must both off them and that they vaulted to attack her from above||

[mystic ermine]

ohhh so doors as in ||dimension stuff shit idfk|| and the... uh... what if the doors are ||breaches in space|| and the ceiling is ||the "ceiling" of the 3rd dimension: space||
wait, no, that would be ||time|| travel

urgh

[mystic ermine]

oh, nevermind

reading too much into it then

[faint pivot]

Your point stands, and is correct

[mystic ermine]

yay :D

[faint pivot]

Worded it a bit off but that tracks for Wayward Passenger lmao

[mystic ermine]

...wayward passenger, huh...
the collective... trauma of ||WARP trains||?
Or just a single fella that lost their shit so hard they distorted?

haah that taps into how abnos are created
was that one ||heaved from the well|| or ||a single being left alone||

[faint pivot]

Guessing the former

And no distortion

[mystic ermine]

super sick terminology by the way, love what PM did
"||heaved from the well||", "||Doors to the Ceiling||", "||Inner Strength - Shin||", "||Dreams - Mang||"
öjdshflkjdsa

The ego and E.G.O

wait, does... wait a second

[faint pivot]

I'm guessing it's the former since it fits ||the PoV of the cleanup crew by passengers during and after the warp||

[mystic ermine]

WAIT

hear me out

...nevermind

[neat cedar]

https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images//43587230/70d9d9380149b98b75600796bd1e29d0af98406c.png

[faint pivot]

Speak

[faint pivot]

Oh fire kit reveal

Finish your thoughts first Magic

[mystic ermine]

I was thinking that Faust said "||Face the Sin, Save the E.G.O||" to Ryoshu upon her recruitment
and I was wondering if that was meant more literally for the case of Ryoshu: "||Face the sin of killing your child, and save your own ego from oblivion||"
in other words;
did she know

[ebon forge]

BLEED BURN POISE TRIPLE STATUS IS REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[faint pivot]

Explodes happily

[faint pivot]

I sure hope no but...

[ebon forge]

ok seriously though

if rien sang is real

[faint pivot]

Faust did reveal to Faust some rather...interesting factoids about ||Don Quixote during|| the WARP intervallo

I can't help but imagine yes, she did

[mystic ermine]

I
I can't see the Poise

[ebon forge]

PLEASE make rien sang a triple status

[ebon forge]

bad end ryoshu

everything suggests she'll be burn bleed poise

[mystic ermine]

ah

[neat cedar]

so yeah

5his Ish

is a fuckin monster

holy shit

[faint pivot]

Honestly happy enough to run Sinking Poise without Mariachiclair and Maidish

[neat cedar]

multiplying offense level gain

is insane

[mystic ermine]

Hear me out for Bad End Ryoshu
since she must have a sword: Poise
Bad End: Sinking
Hatrted: Burn
...
idfk where I?m going with this

incorporating all aspects of every finger, therefore, applying statuses from every one
I'm thinking about a... sort of...

switch to which finger she aligns with?

you know what I mean?

[faint pivot]

Another hilarious potential woman lmfao

[faint pivot]

Like stances for each one? Fucking bet

[neat cedar]

i doubt potential

like

the middle's whole.thing is based om.Off level boosting

and she also gets final and coin power buffs

onntop.of that

[faint pivot]

I'm using potential differently

[neat cedar]

i think the funny thing is

the middle works.vest

[faint pivot]

In that unlike Jiaish who's deemed thus but was tailored/raised well

[neat cedar]

when fighting mooks

because then they can get longer chains going

[faint pivot]

Kira(ish) is seemingly the opposite

Her ||Matthias equivalent probably still neglected her but damn, multiplying OL on a POISE unit means she's popping off to hell and back in MD||

[neat cedar]

she has no poise

[faint pivot]

My bad

Ignore me

Eepy

[neat cedar]

the paralyze and bind on s2

is nasty

[atomic steeple]

Yup. We getting bonus damage this season

[vagrant dove]

I love that she has totally badass ass kicking, hands down one of my favourite boss skill names

[ebon forge]

QoH support!!!!

[mystic ermine]

wait it actually fits with the fluff, too

because QoH prooobably is a fan of Fixers too because of Donqui

...wait that'd mean that Lob Ids are in the same as...

fuck off

you now what I mean

[mystic ermine]

wait I didn't even consider MD

hoaah

...what if it's like
1.1 or smth

I mean, still 10%

yeah
but
I doubt it'd be anything more than 1.5... nah, 1.4, max

-# watch it be 2

...

neverfuckenmind

you can
wait
no
correct me here, please

does this mean that you can get as much offence level multiplication as you had envy res?

surely not

no, no I'm missreading this

"multiply offense level gained from the above effect"

where are you getting offense level multiplication from?

it does say it right there
But only for the purpose of gaining as much as you had envy res

[neat cedar]

the base effect

[ebon forge]

also

[neat cedar]

you get (high res/x) OL

[ebon forge]

wow rien is easy once you figure out how to fight him

[neat cedar]

if abs. res, double it

[neat cedar]

yerp

just never let him hitnthenpresceipt target and read

[ebon forge]

i did index team

[neat cedar]

every fight this canto is more a puzzle than anything else

[ebon forge]

sinking poise

and the way to beat him is just to not let him yeah, hit em

and the rest is forcing him to lose clashes via sinking

[mystic ermine]

no, if it's a. res, multiply by x

so you have 5 / x * x
it's just
just 5

[mystic ermine]

what was the name of the one person who beat all of C9 without reading any passive even once?

had the pfp of a hood

I think

[neat cedar]

x is a place holder basically

we don't know the value

[ebon forge]

also

[neat cedar]

i'm saying douboe because inthink that's how middle clair works

[mystic ermine]

yes, but it's the same value either way, since both is x

[ebon forge]

i think pmoon realizes they need to do something different with dual status finally

[mystic ermine]

if it were a different one, it'd be
idfk
y

[ebon forge]

because her logic would be actually viable bleed

but then through conditionals

she can become a actually usable burn id

hopefully

i pray

[true bluff]

Uhh

[mystic ermine]

...wouldn't she be kind of isolated as a burn Id?
Envy res teams don't really
have burn

[neat cedar]

she's very usable

[true bluff]

it's

not a burn ID

[neat cedar]

burn has envy

a decent amouny

[neat cedar]

check.the passive

[true bluff]

it's a envy ID

[neat cedar]

it's not ye

[ebon forge]

she literally is a burn id though

[neat cedar]

but u can use her in burn

and more importanly

[ebon forge]

not in the sense of true pure burn

[neat cedar]

she works off of resonamce

flat

not envy res

[ebon forge]

but in the sense of being status viable

[neat cedar]

emvy res is good

[cosmic gorge]

Only envy i know in burn is liusang

[mystic ermine]

why not? thermal blades makes her bleed also apply burn, and she gains that status from envy res

[mystic ermine]

OH RIGHT THAT'D WORK

[true bluff]

incorrect

[cosmic gorge]

Which egos that work well with burn teams need envy again

[mystic ermine]

let's see... can we make a... a...
a breed? burn bleed?
brun?
beern?

[true bluff]

it all stats envy for the burn reson+middle effects

[mystic ermine]

beer.

[neat cedar]

not incorrect

[mystic ermine]

Beer id!!

[neat cedar]

look.at her skills

they do not say envy

her passive has one

[mystic ermine]

If we can make a beer tearm

[ebon forge]

youcliff too

[mystic ermine]

team*

[neat cedar]

but you also

[mystic ermine]

damnit

[true bluff]

her passive has two.

[neat cedar]

have wnvy in burn

sinclair

liuishmael

[cosmic gorge]

Breed ID

[neat cedar]

liu sang

there is enough envy in burn to make it work

[mystic ermine]

Look
I approve

however

[ebon forge]

pla-

[neat cedar]

so yeah, she can work fine on a burn team

[ebon forge]

yeah her skills are all based on a-res

which burn is incredibly good at

they're loaded with wrath, sloth in general

[neat cedar]

mhmm

[true bluff]

but it's a middle ID

[neat cedar]

indeed

she works best in a middle team

but she is not locked to a middle team

[ebon forge]

but she's also viable in burn, most likely

[true bluff]

it's a perfect middle ID, because the bleed getting extra burn will be hella cracked.

[neat cedar]

and is designed ro faciliate that

base bleed

important difference

still good

[ebon forge]

she's explicitly written as a dual status who rides on a-res, and goes crazier when its envy

[neat cedar]

the more impact ful status asoect is paralyze abd bind tho

s2 is spooky

[mystic ermine]

I... cant think of many burn ids with envy other than liu sang and you heath s1

Well, and captain ish

[neat cedar]

Phillip sjnclair

liu sang

liu ish

[mystic ermine]

Are there any more?

[mystic ermine]

Phi- right, s2

[ebon forge]

not sure

but also

one of the cool things about burn is they are VERY easy to get a-res on

[mystic ermine]

Ah, I love running kira ish together with liu ish
-# Heheheh

Sorry, fhats means

Mean*

Chrm

[ebon forge]

there's a buttload of wrath, good amount of lust too

you dont need thumbclair for this team, so caposault will bring the lust in, and has on-demand sloth for any sloth burns

[neat cedar]

you heath also

[ebon forge]

bleed is harder to do imo

[neat cedar]

right ye my bad there

also don't forget

[ebon forge]

good amount of envy there

[neat cedar]

if u focua abit more in ency

you know whonjust got

a realy good ego resource gen ego

[ebon forge]

and there's lots of lust + wrath

actually, wait

[mystic ermine]

Heyyh wait a minute

[neat cedar]

Scissors goes hard

[ebon forge]

scissoring outis...

she might be able to fit on both burn and bleed actually

[mystic ermine]

I know you said rue noun, not rhe verb, bu-

[mystic ermine]

HAHA

[true bluff]

liu sang, chicken cliff, liu ish/captain ish, dawn clair are the only ID's I see that have envy and are burn.

[ebon forge]

meursault, dulci, kk ish, r heath (kinda, for MD reasons)

[mystic ermine]

only ones that come to mind, yes
haah
and then we'd need bleed, too, to make an envy res breed team

[neat cedar]

yeah

[ebon forge]

and teddy outis is on-demand envy

[neat cedar]

and rhat's more than enough

[mystic ermine]

I'd use MB outis

[mystic ermine]

THE FRENZIED FLAME?!

[ebon forge]

that's 4 envy ids

[neat cedar]

especially because i imagine the activation for thermal

is prob not fonna be thatbhigh

[ebon forge]

you can push for more lust / wrath a-res otherwise

[mystic ermine]

wouldn't be surprised if it were like
gain 2

[true bluff]

well isn't a resonance atleast 3 always?

[neat cedar]

no

[true bluff]

I've never gotten a 2 resonance before

[neat cedar]

only absolute res

i'm pretty sure

Resomamce is just the act of linking up like colors in the chain as a whole

absolute resonance is the one that lights everything up

[ebon forge]

hmmm

[neat cedar]

ye it doesn't require abs res to trigger

it just says X res

so if it's just like 2 envy

thennyou'll be fine

[true bluff]

Ideally it'd be 3, just to get the a-res too

[mystic ermine]

ah, I think it'll be 3
so that you can have 1 envy, 1 wrath, 2 envy, and still proc it

ye!

as Arth said

[neat cedar]

i mean a res needs them to be right next to each otger

[true bluff]

just because that'd be outright getting more power on double dipping the mechanics.

[ebon forge]

current envy team

[neat cedar]

that isn't how res works

[ebon forge]

just updated it

[neat cedar]

it can be envy, wrath envy

and work

Resonance and absolute resomance

are different things

[ebon forge]

main thing im looking at rn is all 3 ego gears, midleclair, kiraish, youcliff

[neat cedar]

Resonance: Each skill if the same sin gets strong as it foes down thenchain but does nit need to be connected

[ebon forge]

and last slot is decided

[mystic ermine]

that'd be 1 envy, 1 wrath, 2 envy - 1 "nothing", 1 "nothing", 1 "res"

[true bluff]

it'd still be beneficial to have it be 3, so you are also encouraged to get A-res though

[neat cedar]

Absolute resonance: If they are all conmected they get the same boost in power

[ebon forge]

a-res has to be linked together

[mystic ermine]

I

I know

why are you

haah

I meant to say that with 3, you don't need t be locked into getting an Abs. Resonance to activate thermal blades

[neat cedar]

it's not locked

[mystic ermine]

but just getting 2 envy skills wouln't be enough

[neat cedar]

getting 2 should be enough

imho

because if ur usingnher for burn

then ur already limited on envy

so having a lower requirement to actually get the burn started makes sense

[neat cedar]

i mean yeah

[ebon forge]

yeah

obvs

but

[neat cedar]

but it's fin to talk about it

[ebon forge]

theorycrafting is fun

[neat cedar]

and after 2 years, it's not hard to see how id desifn can flow.from.the preview

and if they're intending to make this a middle id rhat can be used on ur typical burn team

[ebon forge]

i hope our matthias id is also breed

[neat cedar]

then it makes sense to keep the part of her passive that actually lets her do that easy to activate

[ebon forge]

given that it'd kinda be rodya or outis... fuck yeah?

[neat cedar]

the only thing that is locked to envy abs res is the part that is more closely tied to the middle

i.e. the grudge mechanic

also

this ish

is a really strong ego spammer

[ebon forge]

wait holy shit matthias is bleed that turns into all out burn

[neat cedar]

between her s1 and thermal blades

she can use and ego then start building it back up to max sp

[neat cedar]

ao this means

Tianha Star Ryoshu has no false statuses (from the perspective of MD gifts)

Like how Kimsault is Bloise, but only has Bleed on TCTB

Or Maost with Poise on her s3-2

Speaking of, what's our wagers on B.E.R.'s narrative? ||She can't be Person Incinerator since she lacks the ability to act, so I'm guessing that a) if we diverge like ManaDon, it'd be with her reaction to killing Araya (maybe her hatred spikes and she learns to erase early, erasing her daughter + her memories mid-fight), or b) if we go from the roots like Huntcliff or Hong Lord: Dihui Star Ryoshu where she takes the place of Araya and kills her mom, causing her to be hunted down by the Index which is where we catch her skills||

[cloud wadi]

Oh I know

It’ll be like Angela’s bad end

||she will successfully exterminate all of the Nursefathers and then trap Araya and herself inside the House because she knows they won’t survive out there||

Or Trap|| just herself after killing Araya to be sever her tie to the House||

[faint pivot]

Ghost of the Opera except it's a painting...neat!

[atomic steeple]

My speculation on bad end ryoshu is ||she likely only half becomes an incinerator. Either sge works for the Fingers who decided that's good enough and hunts down secrets and shames of the organizations, or she went rogue||

[faint pivot]

Forgot to spoiler this

[faint pivot]

Still has to work for kills but you better hope you don't die, I see I see

As in why shouldn't they be

[worthy haven]

So

[cloud wadi]

Pffffttttt

[worthy haven]

||the admins ask if Faust wants to join the ranks of dead Fausts.||

[faint pivot]

That aside we can capture ||people about to die as IDs, preserving them post-mortem as seen in the WH world||

[worthy haven]

Which implies that there are reasons for termination

[faint pivot]

...||hyperbole? I hope?||

[worthy haven]

Oh true

[faint pivot]

Good shout

Even if it was

[cloud wadi]

I think they are just saying|| “hey if you keep acting like that you’ll find yourself in an early grave” as like a general warning rather than that they are gonna kill her||

[faint pivot]

Ah

[worthy haven]

||since index Faust got banned due to index wanting to mess with Gesellschaft and zilufaust is straight ignoring them||

[faint pivot]

||She isn't||

[worthy haven]

I could def read to much into it ye

[cloud wadi]

Index Faust isn’t banned

[faint pivot]

Or well

[worthy haven]

Oh ye

[faint pivot]

||She's shunned, ignored and unengaged with but she has access to its info||

[worthy haven]

So it's even worse technically

Since they wanna ban her but the cant

[cloud wadi]

Geschellshaft finds ||the index insight too valuable to ban her even though they are also wary of interacting with her||

[faint pivot]

Yeah like

[worthy haven]

So ye it might be hyperbole/just a general warning theb

[cloud wadi]

I mean they can ban her, but they won’t, because she’s too useful for them

She’s treated as like dangerous knowledge

[faint pivot]

Even if it was just this, pointing out ||InFau and ZiluFau's relations with the Faustcord shows that you don't really need to go all that far to return to good graces...but I guess that's not all Our Faust wants||

[worthy haven]

I got brain scrambled then yee. I am sifting through the 250 characters of Faust part 2 to maybe identify that last Faust that is still mystery and it's urgh

[cloud wadi]

Because when they talk with ||index Faust they can never be sure if they are talking with the real Faust or the extension of the Will||

[faint pivot]

That tracks

[worthy haven]

||triple name Faust still eludes me||

[faint pivot]

I'm guessing it's a similar case with ||Zilu Fau except there's a marginally greater chance of swaying her||

[cloud wadi]

I don’t think Geschellshaft ||can actually hurt each ofher||

[faint pivot]

Watch it's fuckin ||LobCorp Angela Faust||

[cloud wadi]

But they do ||relentlessly mock failure and to a prideful person like Faust that’s a serious threat||

||imagine being immortalized as like the Darwin Awards||

[faint pivot]

Breaching into mirror worlds is possible but I feel they'd consider that a waste

[faint pivot]

Cause yeah, this

[cloud wadi]

I think they legit just have ||their equivalent of the Darwin awards for dead faustS||

[worthy haven]

So far what I have got is|| lovely Faust is prob Helen if Troy, brilliant Faust is prob Wagner, august Faust is the nameless emperor of act 2 of part 2. Triple name eludes||

[faint pivot]

Fausts seem prideful to their core unless Rep Emitter is shared by only one of them

[worthy haven]

I wonder of they maybe can by entirely ||denying the existence of a Faust. Like basically voting for a Faust to no longer be a Faust||

From @ kitsuchaos

[stoic fjord]

wait is the reason Ishmael got the Kira ID because she also ||was treated as expendable by a superior in the past||

[gentle mulch]

so thermal blades on envy res.
ehhh i might pass on kiramael

[faint pivot]

I'm thinking that the line between Proxy and Messenger is ||your emotional capacity, specifically how your coping mechanisms handle the myriad wackness the prescripts give you||

[keen palm]

I think the reason Ishmael got the Kira ID is because

1. Don already has a Middle ID
2. She is also a hyperfixating nerd

[lean fjord]

Even if she has no Envy res, you still get Thermal every other turn I think

Since she gains Thermal end of turn if without

[gentle mulch]

that needs envy res im p sure

[stoic fjord]

I'm getting Kiramael because I like her design

[dusty sigil]

She’s definitely an envy res unit and not a burn or bleed unit

[faint pivot]

||If you're the type to not let the negativity swallow you like Rien, Gloria etc.. then you're graduating into a Proxy. If you slowly self-destruct as you cope with the nonsense like Yan and InFau's messenger then you're a messenger, because while they're not useful to fighters just yet, these emotions just so happen to summon pretty dangerous monsters (though we've only seen 1 so shrug)||

[gentle mulch]

says "If without... and at X+ Envy Res"

but

[keen palm]

And if with thermal blades get thermal blades

[gentle mulch]

good news is that even if X is 2,

Once you get thermal blades you can upkeep it forever

[stoic fjord]

if X is 2 then just having two envy skills makes it work

...wait no

I set up triple status teams

[stoic fjord]

...4, if you disregard the overlap

[dusty sigil]

[faint pivot]

Juniper runs MDE dry

[stoic fjord]

yeah okay this is ok for me

[faint pivot]

...Madam I think we're the outliers here-

[stoic fjord]

I've done like, 4 completions at least with each of my teams

4 on sinking, 4 on sinking charge, 4 on poise, 4 on bloise, 4 on burn

okay yeah maybe we're the weird ones here

[dusty sigil]

Yah you’re a freak

[dusty sigil]

||since bokgaks are always double banners and idk what else we would get||

She says it during her first ||"reunion" with Dihui, after saying she's glad for cutting off her tongue||

...hm

[dusty sigil]

ABS Faust

[gentle mulch]

oh phew

[dusty sigil]

Alyssa isn’t the most important but she’s there

[gentle mulch]

i forgot ab--and she exploded again

[dusty sigil]

Ehh it was never gonna last long

[gentle mulch]

All women are the most important relieved emoji

[dusty sigil]

if you ask me, all women are relevant #feminist

[faint pivot]

She's a narrative potential woman

Let her co-I mean let her grow

[vagrant dove]

I think the biggest showcase of VA talent was last april fools for obvious reasons

[stoic fjord]

okay so I feel like Hong Lu will never like. actually crash out

but I do get the feeling that bro is going to have a moment where he channels this rage into something so very directed and pinpoint that it'll be unnerving

[stoic fjord]

agreed

[gentle mulch]

Faust being Don is so adorable

[vagrant dove]

Ryoshu's va adopting hong lu's mannerisms was so fucking funny

[dusty sigil]

Dropping my phone while canto 9 is open at my feet

“Oh sorry… I just dropped some feminist literature”

[stoic fjord]

Hong Lu's enemy part broken line is so fucking ominous to me

like

dude you're making me nervous

[dusty sigil]

Bodyswaps being the VAs doing impressions of each other will always be better then them swapping characters

[vagrant dove]

Yeah

[tired canyon]

even after all the lessons he learnt

vagueposting is too engrained in his being

[vagrant dove]

Oh and heathcliff-sinclair

[faint pivot]

It's like he's saying to capitalize not just on their fresh wound but their mourning

[stoic fjord]

I didn't check the Ryoshu announcer before

I'm gonna fucking explode

[faint pivot]

"Twist it in. Firmly."

[stoic fjord]

I'm gonna cry and sob and explode

[stoic fjord]

exactly

[faint pivot]

||Of course Ryo was the one who made the sausages 😭||

[tired canyon]

||ryoshu doesnt remember araya

none of the experiences they had include her in any way

but she still knows she irreparably lost something vital to her||

[vagrant dove]

||I think the announcer line that provoked this reaction from me was Araya doing the Shūre's nice to meet you pun||

[faint pivot]

Supoilas

[vagrant dove]

Whoops sorey

Spoiled properly, mb

[faint pivot]

Anw yeah ||we reacted the same way when someone shared it here||

[faint pivot]

Thank you

[tired canyon]

i was just admiring how cool this fanart was

before i realized

this isnt just cool fanart

this is the EVILEST YI SANG SLANDER EVER CREATED

[stoic fjord]

"Dante, they've lost something very, very important."

[gentle mulch]

MOROS LMAOOOOO

[tired canyon]

"this sinner is gonna set us back 20 levels"

[dusty sigil]

God forbid a man have little noodle arms

[stoic fjord]

he'll manifest the wings again in Canto 4 of Purgatorio and aura farm

strust

[dusty sigil]

Also, looking at Ryoshu and Sancho’s levels, I guess that means Outis will be 80

If she’s between the two

[tired canyon]

i mentioned this before but

[faint pivot]

...wait

wait wait wait

[vagrant dove]

Yi Sang will merge with Sang Yi and become Every Yi Sang to defeat Wild Hunt Gubo in canto 84 trust

[faint pivot]

||THE ROACH EMPEROR IS BOUND BY THE CONTRACT - WE MEET IT NERFED||

[tired canyon]

what the fuck is going on with this woman

for her to be between a scion of caine and a ||reality eraser||

[tired canyon]

||we meet it waking up||

||hermann mentioned that what we fought was "just a another wrapping of her gift"||

[dusty sigil]

Admittedly I think ||that follows the same rules as Sancho, where the Gregor that made the contract and the Gregor who’s the roach emperor are technically two different people||

[faint pivot]

Yes but I'm saying there's another layer of nerfs 😭

[vagrant dove]

||I don't think it's bound by the contract, mainly because it's not gregor, it's something taking over his body||

[dusty sigil]

Yah

[faint pivot]

Wait ||Sancho wasn't?||

[vagrant dove]

||Gregor signed that contract, the walking nuke did not||

[faint pivot]

That feels...off considering ||her dad was affected||

[dusty sigil]

No, ||she was just starved enough that we could beat her anyway||

[dusty sigil]

What?

||Where is it stated papa Quixote was bound by our contract?||

[stoic fjord]

||iirc it wasn't that she was starved, but rather the depths of her despair at the moment, given the name of the debuff||

[faint pivot]

||Those linked to the boughs get nerfed||

||Because of us lowering the average||

[tired canyon]

||papa quixote was nerfed by the golden bough arbitration since it was on his chest and his hunger||

[stoic fjord]

I thought that was the contract, not anything to do with the boughs?

[vagrant dove]

||Papa Don is super nerfed because he's been starved and staked to a windmill for 200 years||

[mystic ermine]

Somethign is wrong
TKT spoilers

[stoic fjord]

||yeah but also because of the golden bough, it's one of the listed debuffs||

[dusty sigil]

||The contract isn’t related to the people who synchronize with the boughs||

||it’s only between Dante and the 12 sinners||

[faint pivot]

||Aye but that's been pointed out as its own layer, a better example would be the Pallid Whale||

[vagrant dove]

Ah fair enough, that's memory thing on my end

[mystic ermine]

"Arbitration", huh

[tired canyon]

but it doesnt really have anything to do with it being

part of the contract

its more to do with

the goilden boiugh being on his chest

like he has a giant stick on his heart

[eternal berry]

||I'm pretty sure the contract evening out all the Sinners and the Golden Boughs consistently being shown as having weakening properties are meant to be relatively distinct||

[faint pivot]

Aren't those who signed the contract also arbitrated to be weaker

[stoic fjord]

arbitration is the settling of a dispute by a third party officially assigned to settle a disagreement

so it does have contract vibes to it
