of course it is
geniunely gets to a point where people will glaze some guy you see once in a canto vs someone we’re gonna see multiple times get slandered
vergilius struggled against a thirsty first kindred he is a FRAUDDDD
Damn, 1100 lunacy for “free”
The ABS Faust fix is a bit of a bummer since the uncapped damage bonus actually made her really good (1k damage potential, literally mirror dungeon numbers). There was a RR4 clear that used her to save two turns in the first section by committing suicide twice with Wild Hunt.
on the one hand yeah it’s a bit sad but on the other, it was apparently like a slightly weaker Lament, Mourn, Despair with attack weight
farmed the entire event in 1 hard version runthrough 1 dungeon runback 1 md5h run (this applies if you have ran the shop through beforehand)
anyways back to abusing hohenheim
I finished the weekly dungeon but didnt get any currency for the blade dungeon, is it only for one event each?
rolled 20 times
shit rolls sadly
I got don quixote ID 2 (which could’ve beenn bought from shop)
Somehow got fast telepole ego
New gregor id for me!
I must wait for shop thing
In the hard mode of to claim their bones
Kim is going to experience the reception of Xiao with this one
we live in a divine bleed era
new kurokumo ids are so fucking fun
I think bleed count may be saved.
I don’t know why I wanted to do this nor why I spent almost two hours on this, but I did it.
Tier list is based on how sloppy the ID is. Slop ID’s are characterized by being:
- Boring/Generic (e.g. s1 and s2 just inflict a status at an average amount, power-creeping coin power conditionals)
- Derivative of other ID’s (some 2*'s)
- Having weird PM design quirks, like conditions that only increase damage by 3% or conditions that cap out at weirdly low numbers (too many to describe)
- Probably other stuff idk, it was kinda opinion based but I can explain EVERYTHING. Feel free to ask about anything.
Not-slop ID’s are characterized by being:
- Unique
- Functional
- None of the weird PM stuff (e.g. Lantern Yi Sang is both of the above but gimped by the dreaded 15/3 conditional so he gets a pity tier)
- Not necessarily fun or even strong in the current meta (i.e. may have been powercreeped)
Also “Midway between slop and cool” means it has some cool ideas but is otherwise quite generic. For example, Linton Gregor’s s1 and s2 are slop sinking skills but his passive and s3 have a usable gimmick. In comparison, Liu Ryoshu is just about the most generic burn unit and even has generic rolls and conditionals.
Another detail about how things are placed
Opinions are influenced by the state of the game when it was released. For example, Devyat Rodion and Cinq Don/Sinclair get a pass for their gimmicks because they did it first, but Cinq Meursault doesn’t because he kinda does the same thing but with a lil more powercreep. Another example: Base Don has a clear idea in her kit but it kinda doesn’t work due to being a base ID.
I’ve been playing since launch so just trust me with the state of the game at the time fr ong.
In the same vein, powercreep is sometimes ignored but sometimes considered. Seven Outis has definitely fallen off but she was fine as a general purpose debuffer on release, thus her roles don’t affect her functionality. Kurokumo Gregor however has below average rolls for his time which he attempts to make up for with his now-middling debuffs, thus he is sloppy because PM overcompensated. ID’s that pushed powercreep may also be considered sloppier.
(end of detail)
Some of the ID’s I placed earlier may be a bit weird because there were only four tiers when I started.
Forgot, a few more things:
- Beaming dopamine directly into your face with big numbers doesn’t count as a functional kit
- The ID’s can still be fun to play with in a team despite being theoretically boring when considering their kit on their own. Source: I still play the game
shoutouts to hong lu for having possibly the sole instance of “if you took no damage last turn, gain coinpower” as a conditional
I will NOT accept that K corp hong lu slander.
Jokes aside, he has a kit, it is just… weird.
Gains more healing when he hits enemies with rupture, inflicts rupture, etc- he works in a rupture team, but there are just better options than him in specific.
Overall, the kit is build for SURVIVABILITY- en mass, even- with a singular stagger threshold for the whole fight and 800+ HP, enhanced by his lifedraining capabilities and the nasty regeneration per turn from his ampules.
This turns bad due to the negative count infliction and rather bad coin rolls at times- but this man still consistently deals 80 ish dmg per turn with his skills, more often than not more.
As sidenote, lanturn yi sang, oh how i love him.
He is SO fucking fun to use, i am not even kidding- especially in mirror dungeon with talisman and lanturn don.
He inflicts a LOT of rupture count with the right ego gifts and he wants to loose clashes to inflict more and more- and if one balances it with healing and keeps him alive, that does work well in a rupture team for quick count infliction.
Yes, he is better dead in most conventional teams- but just as count support? Neat ID. I love the silly.
I JUST NOTICED LANTURN DON IN SLOP NOOOOOOO-
Jokes aside she too is neat. Extreme amounts of damage, very fast. Ever solod a vampire with one angry sheep? You will.
Slop doesn’t mean bad at all, it’s just that the rupture part of K Lu doesn’t matter most of the time and he isn’t useful in a rupture team either. He seems like an accidentally good tank, as if his passive was supposed to stack fragile instead of only giving 1. He’s not in a slop tier for this through.
Lantern don’s self healing is neat but her skills are otherwise quite generic rupture-wise. The skill 2 has that condition that prevents you from stacking rupture count, which is definitely one of those lame PM design quirks (just like Liu Rodya’s 30 dmg cap on her s3’s burn proc) and a main contributor to her tier. I guess the coin reuse and healing effects are cool, definitely should have moved her to half-slop.
(I was gonna say that I didn’t have the time to explain, but I just explained my placements… lol)
gluttony is genuinely so non-existent in most teams that I completely forgot k corp ampules even exist.
NEW BURN ID! THIS IS TRULY IDEAL!
oh hey I was already planning on burn being my next team now that I’ve somehow ended up with… two bleed teams.
