#

you could say he surrendered his witnessing

#

but yeah

#

i think the ones I feel least sorry for are the Musicians, because like

#

the whole recreation of a mass death event thing

stoic fjord
#

||watching Reverb Phillip split into 4 babies and the main body made me want to fucking blow my shit smooth off the instant it happened||

#

THIS IS FUCKING IMMORAL PHILLIP

#

THIS ISN'T OKAY

#

Phillip is an enemy of our glorious savior Hatsune Miku

vagrant dove
#

praise be

stoic fjord
#

even her love and kindness could not give salvation to such a wretched fuck

#

(I am not happy at Phillip in case it was not obvious)

vagrant dove
#

also I'm listening to children of the city again

#

i cant get it out of my head

stoic fjord
#

it's a very good song

gentle mulch
#

corpses?

#

oh. no. they're uh

#

they're sentient enough to become books

#

they've very much been spit out as puppetmonsters

#

JH is one of the ones where I'm like

#

okay you have like five lines where you're spitting but we gotta kill you like yesterday

vagrant dove
#

Yeah JH is a case of "I'm || sorry your son died|| but brother what are you DOING?"

stoic fjord
#

ok phillip wasn't so bad

gentle mulch
#

imagine being like

#

a normal city dweller and some guy kidnaps you, stuffs you in a woman's corpse along with like five other people and then puppeted for the sole person of making a guy mad and then being forced to battle for your life in ways that you may have never seen before or thought to be possible

#

and then

#

afterwards

#

when you think you've died

#

you realize your back in the City. stuck in the same flesh. with like five other tortured people also realizing they're still alive

vagrant dove
gentle mulch
#

like jae heon if you're STILL out there I'm going to hunt you down and perpetuate the cycle of violence

split beacon
#

Jae-Heon is dead for real

vagrant dove
#

Yeah

gentle mulch
#

then kill him

#

AGAIN

#

and then pluto is like

#

mmmm nothing's real

#

magic: missile

vagrant dove
#

I love that conversation he has with Hokma

gentle mulch
#

like okay hokma

#

"if youre bitch made, maybe"

atomic steeple
#

I love this dialogue

#

Pluto is reeling

vagrant dove
#

"The world IS real"

split beacon
#

Pluto gets beaten like a rug by Hokma rhetorically and then goes “fucking okay, how about you die then”

atomic steeple
#

"It is worth to chase your truth even if the world is beyond your ken
You are just a loser hiding behind hollow rhetoric"

gentle mulch
#

"i have ULTRATRAUMA. NOTHING IS REAL. JUST LIKE THAT CONTRACT"
"okay but what if--"
"what if i fucking killed you"

stoic fjord
gentle mulch
#

[dies anyways]

stoic fjord
#

LOLANG???

gentle mulch
#

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

atomic steeple
vagrant dove
#

I love hokma sm

stoic fjord
#

Eileen I don't fucking care I'm going to shoot you in the face 600 times now

#

EILEEN STOP YAPPING SO I CAN START KILLING YOU

#

yesod agrees with me!!!!

gentle mulch
#

it's such a funny bug(?) that his passive is just like

#

"oh btw true damage works regardless lol"

split beacon
#

Eileen is a shithead with absolutely nuthin going on rhetorically

gentle mulch
#

i dont think pjm is going to write a more hilariously ironic diagetic death

#

pluto you fucking clown

vagrant dove
split beacon
#

Pluto’s clownery is pretty well summed up by the fact that he’s a magician

gentle mulch
stoic fjord
split beacon
#

He literally just rejects reality and substitutes his own

#

There is no solipsism he’s just selfish and annoying

vagrant dove
#

yeah pluto is like

gentle mulch
#

elena "well i cant figure it out so it's not that deep"

vagrant dove
#

hollow

#

like a lot of the ensemble

#

see Tanya for example

split beacon
#

He says all this bullshit nonsense about how reality is full of lies and how we just acquire more false beliefs by trying to learn, then he busts out “behold my brachial quietuses”

#

Bro stfu

vagrant dove
#

her whole "a world built on strength" thing is just hollow as fuck

#

and Gebura rightly clowns her for it

gentle mulch
#

bro shut the fuck up WCORP BLAST

gentle mulch
#

just. just. yeah.

vagrant dove
#

the ensemble in general like

#

they are the city

#

they are everything wrong with how the city works

gentle mulch
#

better first line crop

vagrant dove
stoic fjord
#

is what I'm imagining

#

I doubt that's actually it but I imagine some part of it is

  1. Gebura is simply Her
  2. Gebura ain't about the whole social darwinism thing
vagrant dove
#

you'll see when you get there

split beacon
atomic steeple
#

I wonder
How related is the church of gears to the index

split beacon
#

Goofiest Reverb Ensemble member award goes to Elena though

#

Literally embodies being an ignorant dummy

gentle mulch
#

"i kept asking myself why...but what if i just stopped doing that? it's literally not that deep"

#

ishowbinah

#

floor of philosophy

#

most tolerant librarians in the City at the time

split beacon
#

Realest one is Greta, she’s fucked up but she’s got her head screwed on surprisingly tight in that she’s just like “I can be selfish if I want to?”

#

“Have you considered that?”

vagrant dove
#

maybe we should spoiler some of this for juniper

gentle mulch
#

ops

stoic fjord
#

oh nah these bits are fine

#

like

gentle mulch
#

o otay

stoic fjord
#

spoiler it for others, but I don't mind

gentle mulch
#

yeah i think greta is one of the more normal ones

vagrant dove
#

ah, sorry, just felt really bad about bringing up Hokma/Geb when you weren't there all of a sudden

#

but yeah

#

greta is relatively normal

#

in comparison to a lot of the tohers

#

bremen is hands down the funniest

#

despite the fact that like

#

netzach is being 100% serious

main scaffoldBOT
#

Greta literally just goes “we should get rid of wealth disparity because it makes people taste terrible”
She’s so great

split beacon
#

Greta is literally just a selfish dick and when Hod calls her on it she’s just like “hell yeah and I’m happy”

vagrant dove
#

you just have them making ||animal noises|| the whole time

vagrant dove
#

i think my favourite bit is like
Hod trying to be super polite about the whole cannibalism thing lmao

split beacon
#

I mean Hod doesn't really score a huge rhetorical own

#

but in return she does hit Greta with "yeah well that's why yo shoes raggedy, if everyone's gonna do the wrong thing it falls on us to choose to do the right thing anyways"

vagrant dove
#

yeah

split beacon
#

which is pretty badass of her

gentle mulch
#

nice guys finish last ass line

split beacon
#

nah Jae-heon is right for this one

gentle mulch
#

damn 😔 thats why kali still bumming it out in the library and not misting all over the place

split beacon
#

there's a difference between being nice and helping people, and living for others

#

Kali did right by people because she wanted to, not because her life was about serving others

#

She's pretty direct about it as Gebura in the Library even

gentle mulch
#

in the context of Chesed's like

#

maybe we should also have some responsibility for our actions

#

the jump to "youre just living for others :shakingduckcig:" is a bit

#

uhh

#

jae heon

split beacon
#

no see that's Jae-heon summed up, he justifies being selfish by correctly stating that you have to live for yourself because he's allergic to responsibility

gentle mulch
#

because he's allergic to responsibility. and we're going to torture him forever with swords

vagrant dove
#

the hammers are reserved for argalia

gentle mulch
#

the hammers the guns the knives the greatswords the whole shebang is reserved for argalia

cloud wadi
#

There’s gotta be Incubus styles augmented human in th city somewhere

#

A guy who can just regenerate most damage

split beacon
#

Chesed represents kindness, mercy, and grace right

gentle mulch
#

the augments of hindley
the regeneration of K corp
the aura of sukuna

split beacon
#

the opposite of that is just being a narrowminded unforgiving dick

gentle mulch
#

the head of john

split beacon
#

which is what Jae-heon is

gentle mulch
#

yeah

cloud wadi
#

Yeah and that describes Jaeheon alright

split beacon
#

he's not wrong that people suck and the City is a place where you gotta put yourself and what you want to do first

#

but he's SO judgmental that he gives himself license to do whatever he wants, no matter who gets hurt

#

making him no better than the people he thinks are shit

gentle mulch
#

i agree on like a base level with the words he's saying on that regard, but knowing who he is and what he actually means/intends with what he's saying makes everything he says sound Like That to me

split beacon
#

hmm

#

I mean, he kind of resonates with that type of guy, he's definitely espousing that kindness is wasted on Cityfolk

gentle mulch
#

he's like the uhh

#

whats the word

split beacon
#

He's the "empathy is a sin" type of guy.

gentle mulch
#

yeah

#

and honestly kind of like a pretty good case study for distortions

split beacon
#

Moreso than Tanya, he espouses cruelty less but he's more embittered and judgmental

gentle mulch
#

dickhead 🙂‍↕️

dusty sigil
#

We kill him like

#

3 times

#

And each time he just pops his infinite ampules and gets back up

gentle mulch
#

ricardo is going to be moving like that

#

trust

cloud wadi
#

It’s notable that Carmen always describes distortions as revelation of the person’s true feelings

#

So in a way all the distortions are basically people as they are without filters

#

It turns out that for most people this is awful

gentle mulch
#

i do wonder about the whole true feelings part

#

[though it's been a while since ive interacted with funger] since iirc rher does a similar thing in that

#

theyre like ohhhh im just turning people into what they really are

#

and it's always "thing that kills people constantly"

stoic fjord
#

LMAO

YOU WERE NOT LYING

GRETA DISLIKES WEALTH DISPARITY BECAUSE SHE WANTS MORE BALANCED FLAVORS FOR HER COOKING

gentle mulch
#

what can i say

cloud wadi
#

She’s got a one track mind

gentle mulch
#

out of all the distortion ensemble

#

she keeps it real as fuck

cloud wadi
#

And it’s “eating people”

gentle mulch
#

shes hungry

main scaffoldBOT
#

Do we know how she even distorted?

cloud wadi
#

No

#

I suspect it had to do with demiglaze sauce incident though

main scaffoldBOT
#

With what

cloud wadi
#

The demiglaze sauce incident

main scaffoldBOT
#

Oh yeah that

#

(The hell is a demiglaze sauce)

cloud wadi
#

Demi-glace (French pronunciation: [dəmi ɡlas], 'half glaze') is a rich brown sauce in French cuisine used by itself or as a base for other sauces. The term comes from the French word glace, which, when used in reference to a sauce, means "icing" or "glaze". It is traditionally made by combining one part espagnole sauce and one part brown sto...

#

Demiglace, whatever

#

Fake French word

#

Anyways we do know one thing about her cooking style

#

She dislikes sauces

#

now im just thinking about abnos again

#

do we still have any idea what the end result of the fraud duo's plot armor is going to be

faint pivot
split beacon
#

no idea but like

#

I kinda suspect that the abnormalities and Carmen are playing N Corp a little

#

taking them for a ride if you will

cosmic gorge
#

Wonder if we'll see more EverythingThereIsAnInquistors come next canto

split beacon
#

like it's just never that easy as "whew I'm sure glad the abnormality EGO gear just decided to help randomly and save our asses"

gentle mulch
split beacon
#

that shit has to cost something

gentle mulch
#

and like luna is saying right now i hope it costs something

cosmic gorge
#

Speaking of those things, an ETIAI ncorp id would be one of my sinner OC's mirror world ID

gentle mulch

i do hope it's more carmen fuckery

Oh wait

We see them lmfao mb

cloud wadi
#

Since they are wearing normal n corp uniform

#

Yeah

cosmic gorge
#

So far

faint pivot
#

Next canto we find they got a personality edit, then?

cosmic gorge
#

Who knows maybe the gunk of their fraudulence sticks to them

faint pivot
#

Similar to how sin resistances swap out after using an EGO, their sins are diffetent

cosmic gorge
#

Like if you sweat glue

faint pivot
#

It'd be mad funny if we see Gubo commit friendly fire without Fell Bullet

atomic steeple
#

Abnos can breach through ego after all

vagrant dove
faint pivot
#

Seemingly because of LobCorp's additional protections

#

Now NCorp neglected to implement those

split beacon
#

what is ETIAI

#

am I stupid

faint pivot
split beacon
#

oh, lmao

stoic fjord
#

I love how Hod says sorry for ||fucking murderizing Greta||

#

like bro do not apologize to her

cloud wadi
#

She’s too nice

gentle mulch
#

shes literally nice

faint pivot
#

Oh oops did not realize you were that far already Madam

faint pivot
#

And if we're ever getting Fully corroded sinner IDs

#

That said

cloud wadi
#

The proper name is Everything There Is of an Inquisitor

faint pivot
#

More of MagiDon-type EGO gear users would be nice

cloud wadi
#

I’d call them ETI or everything there for short

#

Oh huh

cosmic gorge
cloud wadi
#

Also

#

Inquisitors are bald?

split beacon
#

chat he's bald

cosmic gorge
#

No helmet hair if no helmet at all

split beacon

streamer's bald

No wonder they had to be destroyed

hrm

#

with what Netzach said

#

I do not think he would like the Ring all too much?

gentle mulch

Bit of a shame that ETOAI and Proceeding Investigators have no visual difference

#

Or hell

keen palm
faint pivot
#

Attack differences

keen palm
#

None of the IDs are either

cloud wadi
#

Look at the sprite of everything there

faint pivot
#

Err, well

keen palm
#

I think thats probably because of the mutation destroying their skin

faint pivot
#

The ones we see the heads of, at least lmao

faint pivot
#

Alternatively considering how syncing with EGO changes your looks, this could be a corrosion side effect

stoic fjord
#

ragebaited bro by murdering his friends

#

channeled my past phobia of clowns to fucking murk him

#

I imagine this is in good part in relation to the abnos

#

||Gebura hit her with the "oh my god stop fucking glazing"||

#

Chesed and Hong Lu are genuinely top tier ragebaiters I think

cloud wadi
#

Wow Oswald how hypocritical

stoic fjord
#

Canto 9 spoilers

I found some cute comics

cloud wadi
#

Oh yeah Kira in hurting teddy ego makes sense

stoic fjord
#

I believe this is actually voodoo doll

#

same as Outis's new one

#

but Hurting Teddy would also make a lot of sense

#

probably would fit better, actually...

bronze zephyr
#

Oh, Will You Play, yeah

cloud wadi
#

Will you play fits Mathias and Kira too yeah

#

Abno about being forced to play a deadly game that they won’t tell you the rules of

#

Honestly that matches middle to a T

stoic fjord
#

Middle in general, yeah

#

SO MATTHIAS OUTIS ID CONFIR-

cloud wadi
#

Around them knowing or not you are playing a deadly game

#

And only Middle knows the rules

Silly purple bleed people and their silly purple people rules

HE SAID THE THING!!!

Project moon loves the joke of superhuman badass mercenaries going “gah normal chores this is worse than death” so I could see it happening in canon

HE SAID THE THING!!!!

THE THING!!!!

The list of things you can humanize your badass aura farming character with in a PJM game:

  • chores
  • food
  • relationship stuff
  • family

why am I being given 3 floors?

stoic fjord

...

I'm scared

tiny cave
#

the first stage is the hardest one

stoic fjord
#

HE HAS ONE OF GEBURA'S THINGS BUT STRONGER???

split beacon
#

Said lying Odysseus, who lied

tiny cave
#

the first stage uses actual key pages

#

the others do not so they have worse rolls

stoic fjord
#

I'm using mods to make like. OP shit. so this actually probably won't be like, torturous

but I will go back in on a fully vanilla experience just to see how this shit actually is

tiny cave
#

plus you have scaling from emotion level and stuff

stoic fjord
#

I'm just here to see the story for now

split beacon
#

I do not think the first stage is the hardest but it is the one that can meme on you

stoic fjord
#

I'll actually get into the death and suffering and agony and pain that Roland wants me to feel once I'm like

#

in a less easily tilted mindset

I don't think bro is very happy with us

i like blunt but i need to build a middle team

i don't have access to pure monoblunt yet

my blunt team is mostly just charge but again yeah lmao

do you think

if a bloodfiend bit ||the roach king||

would he become a bloodbag

gentle mulch

I'd imagine it'd go like this

tired canyon

wh

#

what does that mean

faint pivot
#

Of course that's what gets recommended after that

faint pivot
#

Destroyed lab, tattered plush toy, caving walls, corroded corpses

Istg the Index is tipping its hand here but it's too big for me to pinpoint what it looks like

uneven canopy
gentle mulch
tired canyon
stoic fjord
#

ok

#

uh

#

endgame fights

#

are

#

more difficult than anything I could power through

#

so we're gonna take a break for tonight

stoic fjord
#

Someone did a 3 turn clear of Lei Heng with only Mao Faust and Hong Lord

tiny cave
#

Is it 3 turns including the first turn where you can’t really damage him and lose all clashes

#

Or 3 turns not including that turn

stoic fjord
#

I think it includes that turn

tiny cave
#

Damn that’s impressive

#

Does this involve some double S3 RNG

stoic fjord
#

but only on hong lord

#

or

#

yeah double on one turn

#

their skill rotation is pretty good ofc but

#

oh yeah also level 60 was used here

#

that and Ira I think were the last barriers to be able to cut Lantern Yi Sang

keen palm
#

I'm only impressed if they somehow unnerf Lei Heng

gentle mulch
#

oh rupture is definitely going to feel maost's presence for a while

stoic fjord
#

I wonder if it'll be more or less impactful than Talisman Sinclair

gentle mulch
#

more annoying but not as like

#

status breaking

#

since mao is the unit you field

tiny cave
stoic fjord
gentle mulch
#

talisman is the unit you bench, and if an ID happens to be able to hit 15/3 with talisman

#

it broke the game

stoic fjord
#

that makes sense

tiny cave
#

The nerfs were to tanglecleaver and savage tigerslayer

#

To make him gain Paralyze on clash lose and deal less damage

stoic fjord
#

neither of those skills even get to show up in this video

#

it's over before the rotation can hit them

tiny cave
#

Before the nerf savage tigerslayer used to kill your entire team even if he lost the clash lmao

gentle mulch
#

Maost is just ahead of the power creep by a degree

stoic fjord
#

I think by the time Inferno is over, rupture will be stable again

#

like, she'll be more long-lived than intended, but I think will eventually become normal

gentle mulch
#

maybe rupture wont even be a meta at all, and we'll just live in a world where we play our favorite IDs with busted damage conditionals

#

one can dream

stoic fjord
gentle mulch
#

i would hope so

stoic fjord
#

I fw "faction teams and also a couple other people if you're feeling it"

so I like bleed

tiny cave
#

Maost will probably remain the most broken ID in the game for a long time

stoic fjord
#

oh absolutely

#

her max DPR is like, double the next highest, they're not going to make the same mistake

tiny cave
#

The delta between here and the second best ID is that large
And she doesn’t even need a rupture team anyway, just a team that can generate some gluttony

stoic fjord
#

don't turn tremor into the meta with ValenciRodion and Luciocliff or something

tiny cave
#

If your team can generate 1 gluttony outside of her she turns on her passive turn 3 (which means S3-2 looping by turn 5), if your team can generate 3 gluttony she turns on passive turn 2 (which means loops on turn 4)

gentle mulch
#

ringsang releasedddddd

#

15.05.2024

#

so roughly like what

#

2 years of being The Meta Pick

#

year and a half?

tiny cave
#

Ringsang kinda forced coin power conditionals iirc

stoic fjord
#

is he not still meta on bleed?

gentle mulch
#

it's a flexslot pick

stoic fjord
tiny cave
#

Bleed has like 10 IDs it can run

#

Ringsang is not in the core lineup

stoic fjord
#

I know it's bloodfiends minus barber outis, kurokumos, and 1 flex slot for meta

#

or something

tiny cave
#

If you believe in Sanguine Desire being the only thing you need for count, and therefore all that matters is potency, you don’t use him

#

People don’t use priest anymore

gentle mulch
stoic fjord
tiny cave
#

It’s manager, cassetti, Princess, both KKs, +2

stoic fjord
#

crazy

gentle mulch
#

yup

#

bleed is in some of the most comfortable spots rn

tiny cave
#

You can chuck in priest if you want but one sanguine desire turn gives you enough bloodfeast for the rest of combat

stoic fjord
#

having two flex slots is some insane greed

tiny cave
#

So he’s not really necessary

gentle mulch
#

tbf KoDya is all you need for sinking count

cloud wadi
#

There will be cyan coins in the future

gentle mulch
#

and then theres the mao

stoic fjord
cloud wadi
#

Coins which don’t break upon clash lose and gains in coin power instead of losing them

Consider:

Gnocchian with Meatballs ↩️

[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) So he’s not really necessary

stoic fjord
#

but also yeah lmao sinking is so solidly just "do whatever the fuck, man"

stoic fjord
#

but also fair yeah

tiny cave
#

N Shu, Priest, Ringsang, Allen, are all flex picks

gentle mulch
#

you can also just run a second count provider and be set

main scaffoldBOT
#

How have we literally never noticed this before

gentle mulch

it's part of what makes her op as shittttttt

and why no one uses anything but counter or s3 on her skill rotation

We never knew this 😭

i love my sinking IDs personally

stoic fjord
gentle mulch
stoic fjord
#

roughly 2.5x as much damage as KoDya?

#

Minus coin KoDya, iirc

#

so

#

uh

#

yeah no it's fucking insane

gentle mulch
#

she does top class damage

tiny cave
#

Yeah she does 1500 DPR, minus KoDya does 600

stoic fjord
#

oh so 2.5 times more exactly

#

crazy shit

tiny cave
#

The nerfs would have taken her from 1500 to like 900-1000

gentle mulch
#

thats why i hope we get more like

stoic fjord
gentle mulch
#

status resistant enemies or even like

stoic fjord
#

by a smaller margin

gentle mulch
#

split sinner encounters again

#

it's a much better compromise than just flat hp increase or like

#

well i guess this canto was all about getting power scaled to shit

main scaffoldBOT
#

How does it get to 1500?

Gnocchian with Meatballs ↩️

[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) Yeah she does 1500 DPR, minus KoDya does 600

genuinely just splitting Hong Lord and Maost apart from each other makes things so much less fucked

Her S3-2 does one quintillion damage

#

Her S3-2 gives her 13 stacks of starblade

gentle mulch
#

and crits!

stoic fjord

so she can do like, more than 1 S3-2 per rotation

#

and she crits on both

oh also

thats fucking hilarious

more S3s

#

Lord Lu + Mao Faust is genuinely so fucked that it's not even funny

#

I don't think there's another duo that enables each other in the same way

#

Mao Faust tanks shit for Lord Lu, Lord Lu lets her scale faster, provides glut, procs more S3s

How does the math work to get 1500?

mao faust is meta in tremor btwwww thats how busted she is

The base damage of her S3-2 not counting rupture is
13*(1+0.5+0.2+0.1)
+
19 (1+0.5+0.2+0.1)
+
25 (1+0.5+0.2+0.3+0.1)
+
31 (1+0.5+0.2+0.3+0.1)

stoic fjord
#

but the exact numbers I don't know

#

but, hey, we have someone doing that now, so I don't have to

stoic fjord
#

and his S2

#

gets coin power off of him having poise

#

and because she's Mao Branch, oh, look! Rupture! Rupture on the enemy! for even more coin power!

#

Lord Lu and the 3 Mao Heishou could probably manage nearly any encounter in the game

tiny cave
#

Which is 1.8 (32) + 2.1(56) for 175.2

stoic fjord
#

okay well we could probably take off Outis and Ryoshu but also they probably make it more comfy of a margin

50% damage conditional on her S3-2

stoic fjord
#

I think speed differential

#

or

main scaffoldBOT
#

Ah

stoic fjord
#

damage conditionals in general really

tiny cave
#

If this unit's Speed is faster than the target's, deal +(Speed difference x Rupture.pngRupture Potency on target)% damage (max 50%)

stoic fjord
#

yup

#

and like

#

she's gonna be fucking faster lmao

tiny cave
#

Yeah most enemies are 2-4 speed

stoic fjord
#

that's her entire thing. she gets MD speed numbers in normal play

#

and her MD speed numbers...

#

I think I average around 25 on her in MDE

tiny cave
#

So if she’s hitting 10 speed for the reuse (which she will because of the haste from starblade) she will be 5+ speed faster than them

#

And that 170 isn’t all her damage either because her counter also does damage

stoic fjord
#

and her counter will give her assist defense for a second S3-2

tiny cave
#

Admittedly it’s not as much but it’s still (11+15)*1.1 for another 30ish

stoic fjord
#

wait no you're calcing for a rotation without S3 on bar, right?

#

so

tiny cave
#

So even without rupture you’re looking at 200 damage on a turn, five out of six turns, and on the sixth turn she uses an actual S3 to deal 340 instead of 200

main scaffoldBOT
#

...wait

stoic fjord
#

wait does DPR not mean what I thought it meant

main scaffoldBOT
#

DPR is damage per rotation?

tiny cave
#

Yes

stoic fjord
#

ohhhhhhh

#

Damage per rotation

#

not damage per round

main scaffoldBOT
#

Why

stoic fjord
#

lmao

#

that makes way more sense now

tiny cave
#

Because per round would make no sense

#

Discard IDs can be a bit janky to calculate rotation damage

stoic fjord
#

KoDya does like, 300 with her S3-2, and then the other 5 skills do a combined 300 usually ime so

tiny cave
#

Eh her S2-2 does a lot as well

#

It’s mostly her S1/clashable counter that doesn’t do an insane amount

#

Her S2-2 does lets see

#

She has a stupid amount of passive damage conditionals so one sec

#

2 damage up, 1 power up, 5 OL up
+20% damage from despair
+20% damage from deep tears
+3 final power

#

So you’re looking at 20 + 20 + 20 baseline and all of that is multiplied by (1+0.2+0.15+0.2+0.2)

#

Oh yeah plus 20% from tear sharpened

#

Add another 0.2 in there

#

So it’s about 120 damage

stoic fjord
#

so, 240 from S2, 300 from S3

#

...there's no way her S1 only does 20 damage

tiny cave
#

i dont think her s3 does 300 baseline

stoic fjord
#

oh okay yeah fair that's me going off of memory

#

oh wait it's with uh

#

human encounters

#

where her first 2 coins usually stagger

#

yeah okay what's her S3's damage

tiny cave
#

lets see its
uhh
28 base power, 4 coins

#

so 28+28+28+28
and you have in addition to all that other stuff, increase the deep tears damage to 60%

#

and the tear sharpened damage to 30% because you need 3 to reuse it

stoic fjord
#

ohhhh wait this is the full rotation where you keep switching between plus and minus

tiny cave
#

well she'll be out of minus at the end of the rotation

#

it assumes guard, counter, s2, s2, counter, s3

stoic fjord
#

yeah I meant the uh

#

like in a longer battle she's switching

tiny cave
#

so 112 * (1+0.2+0.15+0.6+0.2+0.3)

stoic fjord
#

not during the rotation

tiny cave
#

274.4

stoic fjord
#

okay so just under a flat 300

tiny cave
#

yeah 240 from s2s, 274 from s3

stoic fjord
#

and it's 2 counters and a guard, not all 3 S1s

tiny cave
#

i think her counter doing like 45 is correct

stoic fjord
#

so those two counters are doing... 45

#

which

#

sounds about right

tiny cave
#

yeah its 15 + 15

#

so 30

#

it doesn't get a boost from OL up because its a defense skill so its just despair and damage up i think

#

it will get some tear-sharpened damage so the first counter will be 30*1.5 for 45 and the second will be *1.6 for 48

stoic fjord
#

where's the list of IDs by DPR

stoic fjord
#

ok so now I know not to trust prydwen.gg on everything without further consideration

#

because

#

be so fucking for real with me right now who put Spicebush in SS for sinking

#

sinking deluge is not all that

tiny cave
#

spicebush is best in role for low turn counts using sinking

#

for most purposes these days you'd rather use solemn lament

stoic fjord
#

I guess, but like

#

idk

tiny cave
#

but if you're specifically looking for low turn stage clears on enemies that have one or zero hp gates spicebush is better

stoic fjord
#

what the fuck do they even mean by status specialist

I guess full sending a status rather than normal stuff but like

#

idk it just feels weird

#

especially since it's also labeling all of these as endgame

#

I think Prydwen might be more tailored to usual gacha games so some of this stuff is off because of just. how different Limbus is in some senses

#

looks like caposault is third highest dpr

tiny cave
#

the highest non mao faust characters are all aoe i think until kodion

#

caposault does do great damage but i believe that one assumes he gets an aoe s3

stoic fjord
#

that one has him higher than KoDya with AoE

tiny cave
#

without it he's below wildcliff

stoic fjord
#

without, he's about 100 less on the spreadsheet

#

maybe I'm not reading this right

tiny cave
#

nah you are, the AoE is specifically his S3 AoE

#

which is extremely unreliable

stoic fjord
#

ah, okay

tiny cave
#

he can get it in one rotation

#

counter s1, s1, s2, s2 chews up 6/8 bullets

#

meaning if you do counter, s1, s2, s2, s3 (aoe), s1 it'll work

stoic fjord
#

Question

#

Which meta team has the most damage from status?

#

My guess is burn or tremor

tiny cave
#

depends

#

sinking probably outdoes rupture against abnos

stoic fjord
#

Oh I mean like, proportionally

tiny cave
#

oh yeah then its probably tremor

#

its not burn

stoic fjord
#

Is it because of everlasting

tiny cave
#

the only burn id that is outdamaging their main skills with the burn is magic bullet

#

yeah

stoic fjord
#

Maost carries the damage of a completely different status team like an absolute fucking chad

#

What the fuck do they feed thr adepts

tiny cave
#

well

#

no one really uses Maost for her damage in tremor

#

like you can but it takes forever to build up the 5 gluttony so you can start looping

#

it's mostly because she has on demand 5 haste so you can get everlasting out first

#

and faust's only actual tremor id is abysmally slow

#

(well its not mariachi sinclair level but 3-6 when most ids are 4-7 means she'll go last or second last quite a lot)

stoic fjord
#

like, not her skills, just that everlasting is used on her specifically

tiny cave
#

yeah but its not because maost herself is doing obscene damage

#

its mostly because she's fast

stoic fjord
#

yeah I know it was a joke

tiny cave
#

if they printed a faust id tomorrow that rolled 20-25 speed and had 0+0 on all 3 skills

#

people would probably be doing that instead

stoic fjord
#

are future hypothetical tremor faust IDs doomed to irrelevance if they can't manage the same speed threshold that Maost can

the picture of Valencina, a freshly-minted war hero Sottocapo, getting unruly drunk and acting like a complete idiot, high on her victory and shuddering with war stress at the same time, is pretty vivid.

ebon forge
#

it feels like some form of ptsd

#

and her coping mechanism is pride, almost

split beacon
#

I mean it is PTSD and her coping mechanism is bravado yes

ebon forge
#

yeah i dont know how to describe these things myself, tbh

split beacon
#

She blatantly lapses into a post-traumatic dissociative episode when Lucio bites it

ebon forge
#

ah yeah

split beacon
#

Like yeah it’s everything else with him being her apprentice and surrogate-child but also she just watched a G Corp pest weapon kill her brother-in-arms again

ebon forge
#

mmm yeah

split beacon
#

How many times did she witness that horror on the battlefields of the Smoke War?

ebon forge
#

dozens, easily

split beacon
#

but also, the torture part, immediately after, is kind of what cinches it

#

because it makes it very very obvious that Valencina is not a sadist who loves causing pain and does it for fun no matter how much she laughs and tries to act like she's loving it

ebon forge
#

also, i dont remember canto 1-4 very well, but when gregor goes "i cut apples", how did that work

split beacon
#

if she was a sadist, she wouldn't specialize in a fighting style with the purpose of bringing her enemies to an immediate, decisive end by blowing holes in their heads

ebon forge
#

she'd be more like rien, if anything

#

rien is a sadist

split beacon
#

Rien is a sadist, and his lore text explains that he finds a quiet satisfaction in bringing people to their knees and systematically tearing them apart with his Caduceus because it brings him a cathartic sense of relief

ebon forge
#

i like how her eye is gloom

#

because iirc the way sins work is each layer goes deeper into their "truest sin"

split beacon
#

Valencina's PTSD meltdown directed towards Gregor instead reveals that she's doing exactly what she did to the G Corp soldiers in the Smoke War, which is revel in the sense of control she had over them, something that seems like a sadistic tendency at first, but remember how we got here? Lucio just died.

#

She needs her sense of control back.

ebon forge
#

mmmm

#

her story is kinda like that of a rock star

#

one huge hit, become the number 1 in the whole world

#

get outed for something fucked you did

#

and tons of fans leave you, try to regain past glory, but you cant and fall to drugs

#

well, in this case, might not be getting outed, but same logic

split beacon
#

If she doesn't do something to make it feel like she's in control of the situation again, Valencina is about to scream and cry and lose her goddamned mind, and right as she pushes Gregor to the limit and brings out his own PTSD monster you see that it's just not fucking working because even when she's got Gregor lying on the floor helpless she can't help but scream and rant as the memories of the war come back in earnest instead of in a controlled way where she acts like she was super fucking cool and a hero

ebon forge
#

the worst part about the nursefathers is that all of them could be "fixed" somehow

#

and you know you could NEVER do that

#

Valencina is a super compelling character because the way she's broken, as a person, is so messy and ugly and out there for everyone to see

#

Matthias just makes me sad

#

because he's the most... relatable?

#

split beacon
#

Matthias is just a regrettably halfbaked man, doubtless the result of things going wrong in his upbringing that he couldn't and didn't understand so the core of his trauma is not getting toys

#

that's all he could understand so that's all he's got, because he sure didn't grow much past that

ebon forge
#

like, kira characterizes him

#

as someone who probably didnt understand the world around him for their true meaning

#

he's an "alpha male"

#

like, a fucking alpha male

#

that's matthias, and i mean that in the most manchild way possible

split beacon
#

it's funny how much more depth of character Kira has as this lonesome, genuinely miserable child who can't even express the pain because she has no way of processing it or understanding it

ebon forge
#

honestly, it feels a lot like matthias too, except his coping mechanism seems to be an endless need for spontanious satisfaction

#

for Ryoshu, he didnt know that to parent, it's more than just "heres your immediate satisfactions"

split beacon
#

I mean yeah, if you want to really dive into his character and get psychological, the natural conclusion for him as a person is that he's absolutely wretched deep inside but so stunted as a person that he lives his life in the pursuit of never introspecting or understanding those feelings and satisfying his immediate urges to keep the voices quiet, endlessly

ebon forge

im surprised he never got addicted to hard drugs

It wouldn't service the story well

it wouldnt

i feel like, had ryoshu never come back

#

he'd have fallen at some point

split beacon
#

I mean yeah, but that ain't particularly unique of him amongst the Nursefathers

#

with no outside stimulus Valencina would've eventually found a bottle big enough to crawl into and never come out again and Callisto being Callisto would manage to off himself in a fit of manic creativity and stupidity

it would be horrible for him

ordering Lucio around doesn't actually fix her life is the thing, Valencina is the type whose external controlling behaviour belies that she's basically mentally trapped in the Smoke War forever

tiny cave

#

he hated it so so so fucking much

#

Angela is a living reminder to Ayin that he's not just a failure, he's a failure and a bad person whose desperate clinging to Carmen tainted her form and her mind and created a reflection of himself in her stead

#

Angela was supposed to be Carmen and instead she's him, foolish, selfish, desperate, evil Ayin who couldn't save her and couldn't resurrect her and couldn't find another way to champion her ideals but to imprison himself and all the people who believed in Carmen in Hell

so, yanno

torturing Angela in endless timeloops was probably an overreaction but in fairness Ayin's brain was pretty much soup as they closed in on finalizing the Lobotomy Corporation script

XY - REAPshu
XY - Rhinosault
XZ - Princess Rodion
XZ - Priest Gregor
YZ - MaDonka
YZ - many of the W Corp IDs

Okay yeah it’s real

#

I forgot about Rhinosault

stoic fjord
#

hrm

#

why don't Manager Don and Barber Outis have rupture? why do only 3 of the bloodfiends do rupture?

split beacon
#

Your XY picks are locked in and so is your XYZ pick

#

Can’t take Prince Meursault

stoic fjord
#

so also XZ, then

split beacon
#

yeah I think your only free choices are on YZ

stoic fjord
#

so probably MaDonka and uhhh

split beacon
#

I can't imagine madonka getting reliable 4x Envy res in this team but she's still a good unit

stoic fjord
#

W Outis?

split beacon
#

W Sang

#

definitely W Sang

#

W Outis's job is to enhance other W Corp. IDs

stoic fjord
#

oh yeah

#

alr

bronze zephyr
stoic fjord
#

the main thing with this team is that like

#

rabbitcliff doesn't consume charge

#

so a lot of the good E.G.O gifts do jack shit for him

#

"base attack skills that consume charge"
"base attack skills that consume charge"
"base attack skills that consume charge"
"base attack skills that consume charge"

#

look inside

#

no base attack skills that consume charge on R Heath

#

it's incredible

bronze zephyr
#

Yeah it’s just his passive, he’s so weird

split beacon
#

he's designed like Nikolai in LoR

#

it's bizarre

bronze zephyr

Launch ID moment

stoic fjord

fuuuck

#

LoR spoilers

||Angela fight is so fucking hard, she fr just fucks you so hard||

bronze zephyr
#

I was like. I distinctly remember Heath complaining and Faust going “no”

stoic fjord
#

I think it's because of the focus, actually

split beacon
#

it wasn't the time to discuss them yet
WHICH MEANS IT'LL BE TIME TO DISCUSS THEM LATER galaxybrain

M CORP CANTO CONFIRMED

stoic fjord

#

but also yeah I think it's fairly clear that Moonlight Stones would interfere with the whole character development angle

bronze zephyr
#

Roland lived in M Corp after I Corp I think

split beacon
bronze zephyr
#

LMAO is that Kira

#

Yeah ok

#

We’re actually not going to N Corp we’re going to M Corp
Meursault Corp

#

Ignore the fact it’s called MDM Enterprises

#

Their logo is kinda meursaultcore tho

stoic fjord
#

bleed/rupture is kind of fun

Like the reason itself is unknown but the prohibition is there

main scaffoldBOT
#

Maybe the reason we aren’t allowed to use them is because suffering builds character

still the same nervous, slightly goofy person

but also holy fuck that's so much aura

Also how caring verg is

Too bad only 4 of the images embedded

What do tremor teams look like without the thumb duo?

#

Mediocre I assume

cosmic gorge
#

A gamble

atomic steeple
#

As far as I know, it's reverb everlasting

cosmic gorge
#

Hope that your dudes are in the correct order

atomic steeple
#

Maybe with tremor chain to do something with your tremor until you can do the combo

main scaffoldBOT
#

...isn't that what it's like even with the thumb duo?

#

Tremor is so bad, it had to implant new mechanics on top of what it did to work
And the best ids to do so aren't tremor

split beacon
#

you pray you get an order where you can set Reverb and Everlasting correctly and then score a triple-burst on Molar Outis's S3

atomic steeple
#

Meanwhile sinking thrives

split beacon
#

because if you do it all correctly, that's 900 damage

#

if you fail, it's a wet fart

main scaffoldBOT
#

So rupture but bad got it /s

#

Does Time Moratorium do anything or is it also too gimmicky

split beacon
#

okay so Time Moratorium is complicated.

#

not complicated to execute on per se so much as how it improves Tremor is a complicated story

#

the ideal Time Moratorium is one where you stagger your enemy and have nukes ready to rock on the turn your enemy is staggered AND in Time Mora in order to cram as much damage as possible down their throat before the time stop breaks and multiply it all by 1.15x

atomic steeple
split beacon
#

in this regard, Time Moratorium is unique in that it's the only Tremor mechanical addon that actually improves the base functionality of Tremor - the designers understand you don't get an unlimited number of staggers, so Time Moratorium's job is to let you capitalize on the ones you get to the maximum, by letting you further exploit the one-turn window for going nuclear

main scaffoldBOT
#

That sounds very complicated but also easier to do than it sounds

[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) the ideal Time Moratorium is one where you stagger your enemy and have nukes ready to rock on the tu…

split beacon
#

stagger with a S3 that sets Time Mora and you're cooking.

atomic steeple
main scaffoldBOT
#

What's fracture do?

split beacon
#

Fracture upgrades the stagger tier by +1

#

so if you stagger an enemy while they're Fractured, they get Stagger+'d instead

main scaffoldBOT
#

Oh, neat

atomic steeple
#

It only comes from binds outis

main scaffoldBOT
#

Oh boo

split beacon
#

it also actively fights with damage tremor flavors

#

like in a perfect world you stagger with Binds Outis and set Time Moratorium with another T Corp. S3, then next turn Hong Lu and Faust activate agenda mode and you drop a nuke on a Stagger+'d, time moratorium'd enemy and absolutely cook them for 2.3x damage multiplication at the end of the turn

main scaffoldBOT
#

We imagine time moratorium does not go well into bosses with phase transitions/health gates on their base stagger threshold

split beacon
#

yeah :\

atomic steeple
#

Tremor just has a terrible time with limbus gameplay

#

Limited stagger bars
Phase transitions and health gates

split beacon
#

you just cannot control outcomes enough to be able to actually engineer Tremor's damage situations reliably

wintry fiber
#

Tremor would have been crazy in runia...

atomic steeple
#

It's interesting how fucked tremor is

main scaffoldBOT
#

What we're getting from this is that it's gimmicky as hell and also not a fun gimmick

split beacon
#

I mean

#

on the one hand: the most damage in the game

#

on the other: never using it

crimson spindle
#

it's an extremely funny gimmick in mirror dungeons where you can replace all your skills with time moratorium

stoic fjord
#

the T Corp L5 employee experience

crimson spindle
#

because a thing you will never see basically in normal gameplay is that hitting someone in time moratorium with time moratorium again triggers it immediately
