Der Freischutz Outis and Band Aid Solutions

A blending of the usual style of ESGOO content...but also more opinionated than usual. This is a topic I became a lot more passionate about as I dove deeper into it, so I'm interested to hear what people think about Band-Aid Solutions once they have watched this video...in full...without making any assumptions about my opinions on the matter.

The fact that Limbus’ (honestly very blatant) attempt at “forcing” players to roll is still leagues above standard gacha game fare is pretty impressive. I think a lot of Limbus players don’t realize just how good we have it, because I can tell you from experience that things can be much, *much* worse. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth criticizing, since it’s still predatory by design, but it’s also worth pointing out that, for a gacha game, Limbus is unfathomably generous. Granted, that’s not a very high bar, and the monetization model is far from ideal, but I seriously believe that it making as much money as it does from the season passes is helping a ton with ensuring a better overall experience for most players.

[@snipermagoo]

I can't really bring myself to care when you can still just shard them. We're all supposedly adults, waiting once on an ID is not a big trauma.

[@puccifanboy4966]

Plus the limbus pass is generous af, ten bucks is not a big deal

[@IchCharacter]

It's a bit worrying, seeing how this resembles other gacha games where 'essential' characters are locked behind the gacha. If the system works well, they might balance the game around Walpurgisnacht events and only release otherwise useless archetypes that require the 'pay to win' characters. Still not too big of a problem, since other good teams like charge are available to the general player pool, but this can also change in the future with stuff that would basically require specific archetypes. It's not great as is, but it could definitely be a lot worse. Remains to be seen whether they'll keep it at this level or make things even worse. Seems more unfair towards new players that would spend their free lunacy on standard banners because they don't know any better and get goaded into buying stuff because they'll get locked out for half a year otherwise.

[@BillyBob-xx5jr]

One thing I feel is kind of interesting/funny, is that, before Der Outis' existence, one could argue Liu Ishmael was a bandaid fix to Burn. Though unlike Der Outis, who's a bandaid fix to Burn as a mechanic, Liu Ish was a bandaid fix to Burn ID design. It can be easy to forget, but pre uptie-IV, before they got burn-based coin power increases, all the Liu IDs had unforgivably bad clashing (Greg's best was 12 and Sault's was 14). Liu Ish was the first Burn ID, bar N Clair, who meaningfully rewarded Burn stacking and could clash due to her coin power boosts. Even N Clair arguably wasn't ideal, given his negative sanity nature meant sometimes he couldn't afford to clash, something Ish didn't suffer from. The fact that the 2 most recent Burn IDs have both been hard bandaid fixes at the time, with Liu Ish being followed by a massive drought of Burn IDs, I wonder if PM is either at a loss or just uninterested in fleshing Burn out more. I could just be doomering over a coincidence though.

[@funninoriginal6054]

My guess is that part of it is also that burn has way fewer faction options than the other statuses. Like, charge has W and K corp, tremor has LCCB and Molar, and bleed has just a crapton of factions that represent it. Burn? Only Liu, really. And i guess Stigma Workshop, assuming they become relevant in Limbus anytime soon.

Honestly, I hope they make more burn IDs that are similar to Meursault in that it spread fire, essentially make the "niche" of burn being the AOE application of it, each only needs to get a few count to keep going, and it would give a distinct identity to burn as a satus effect, that along with the whole "coin power" thing which they seem pretty set on considering uptie 4 of the liu's and Der Outis. I would make them neat, while having rupture and co be more the "single target kings". Not to mention while I cant remember where in limbus company they talked about this, i remember it being brought up that the reason why the Liu association likes fire is because its useful for group fights since enemies would spread it to eachother, so there's even a lore reason to have it the "Group debuff."

[@ryoutric]

the new outis is the real definition of band-aid fix, without her, burn wouldn't be as reliable, you already even talked about it. I'm not in any position to think about how burn could be fixed in a sensical matter, although.. we DO need more burn IDs, even if its a SINGLE id, something that you dont have to OVERLY rely , like freischutz outis. Plus, in my opinion, since the only burn ids we have are OLD, i feel like some of their power is locked behind UP4, i feel like dedicating hundreds of thread and shards on the uptying of burn identities isn't as rewarding , since burn is well, bad without outis, and if you don't have her, you're better off not building a burn based team at all

[@thomasluffman8605]

The problem is that we only have 3 burn units that are strong on field on their own merits: liush, der freishutz, and nclair. Liusault is ok, but he is carried by egos. Hong liu does his job better off field than on field, and liu gregor is a tragedy. Burn has some incredible egos, but aside from ardor blossom star and both capotes, none of the egos are on sinners that work with burn, with ryoshu being the biggest offender with 4mf *and* FFTF. Don soup is rime shank power level, but has 0 units that can use it. Rodion fourth match flame is a very nice add as is effervescent corrosion (large aoe that gives plenty of tremor count for capote stacking) yi sang 4mf with hongliu passive can potentially provide 10/2 in 5 AOE kick starting your entire team. But none of them have units that actually work in burn.

I do think burn consumption, like in Faust’s 9:2 EGO, will be a thing in the future for burn IDs. Dark Flame could very well become the enabler for burn damage, but being able to consume burn potency for other effects, whether for defense level down or some other kind of boost, could be the way forward for other burn IDs to make themselves useful in a way that doesn’t just overlap Dark Flame’s function.

[@tepig2828]

I feel like the easiest way to fix band aid units would be to add more IDs/EGO that have similar effects. For example, since we are possibly getting another sinking ID for Yi Sang in the form of Dieci, I kinda want Dieci Hong Lu to inflict sinking deluge so that way you can choose to either use dual deluge with Yi Sang + Hong Lu, or go for a more sinking buildup support reliant on 1 deluge using Dieci Yi Sang. They could do something for other status effects in the form of IDs or EGO. For example, what if we get an EGO based on that Der Frieschutz aberration that inflicts a wrath element version of dark flame. This would make dark flame not feel as exclusive and give more variety for team building.

[@Mr.Stizblee]

I don't think they should give sinking deluge to another ID since after Regret Faust took Yi Sang's AoE gimmick (There's also technically Shi Heathcliff but who uses Shi Heathcliff?) it's the only thing that sets him apart despite being the big story related ID of the season similar to N Sinclair. Also, sinking deluge is too good so having the option to get it off multiple times a turn would just completely break the game. I don't think there's a problem with releasing bandaid IDs like Spicebush Yi Sang. The main issue is that some of them are Walpurgis Night exclusive.

[@freshlymemed5680]

@@Mr.Stizblee AoE was inevitably going to be on other IDs eventually, no one has a monopoly on that. I do agree that Sinking Deluge is pretty much Spicebush's gimmick though same way Dark Flame is Der Outis' or Dimensional Rift is exclusive to Dimension Shredder/W Corp Yi Sang (Fits thematically). I can see Dieci have a gimmick regarding their insight stacks though, like maybe insight boosts sinking damage they do.

[@Mr.Stizblee]

@@freshlymemed5680 while I do agree AoE was going to be given to other IDs, it is also one of Spicebush's primary gimmicks so I was a bit frustrated that they quickly released another ID that can make much better use of it since I think Spicebush was supposed to be the big ID of the season similar to N Sinclair and hopefully Captain Ishmael. Spicebush is definitely a very good ID, but his AoE is hard to utilize, sinking deluge requires sinking support from his teammates, and his clashing values aren't the best (9 on skill one is painful) so he ended up being overshadowed easily compared to N Sinclair who is completely busted no matter team he's on by some of the other good season 2 IDs to the point it created this crazy obsession with the idea we'd eventually get Farmwatch as the big season 2 ID.

[@coffeegroundsforsnorting6957]

Great video to watch during my final work break. Whenever I think of bandaid solutions I think of Dead By Daylight because while I didn’t play it was fun to listen to lore and details. Disclaimer I will say Limbus is in a much better state with this one because the solution is give burn, or other things really, more units or more unique ways for it to do something with a kit and its single player, as opposed to an online only game. Thaf being said I do want to tall about a noticeable thong from the time and some details. A lot of the time there a killer would come out to fix some problem that was caused by survivors being too strong in some regard, but would also bring they're own set of problems and not address the problem with the other killers, just make it not a problem with those. One case I remember is when the Oni came he came with a perk that made the Legion, an at the time trash killer(s), unstoppable. Withoit going into too many details the survivor was forced to get hit and go down or try and run and have a time tick down and go down from a status called mangled wound (or something similar) which should tick down in a chase. I don't think Limbus is going down the band-aid path too hard since the solutions are incredibly simple but I can see the conern just from looking at other games.

[@jellokhat]

I think a neat idea with burn, especially for abno fights, is to have burn bleed out to other parts once you hit 99 potency. Basically making your burn just move around more. I know it might be a BIT much, but yknow, it would help with how it's kinda weird on abno fights

[@quemteperguntou4412]

What i think pm will end up doing for the dark flame topic is introducing at one point an ego or id from der freichutz aberration, using potency to deal wrath dmg instead of count, while also making it more "acessible"( gotta remember if you don't get that id for that season, you gotta wait for the next)

[@nikitachumachenko3412]

I am reasonably confident we’re gonna see another burn unit this season, because I find it difficult believing that they would print Faust 9:2 without planning to release a burn ID with at least a smidge of gluttony since the team doesn’t generate it at all. Sinclair’s lifetime stew is still waiting on that drop of gluttony to get a spot on the burn teams as their access to generating more gloom envy and pride.

[@ARStudios2000]

The funny part is, before the Outis ID dropped, not even a few days before it, i was discussing ideas on what kind of Burn ID would be helpful to a team to make it really viable, and Schutz Outis was eerily similar to the idea. Anyone wanna hear it?

[@shocksword6847]

Imo Limbus has one of THE most generous gacha systems in the entire market, so locking some of the best characters behind a seasonal event is completely understandable for me. Even that seasonal event refreshes like every 3 months, which is crazy compared to other gachas that can have gaps of 6-12 months between limited character reruns. Also, seasonal events can be really satisfying just by their nature. Sure, new players who don't have Walpurgis IDs when they start the game will feel frustrated, but that frustration can be rebound as satisfaction when they eventually get the ID by saving up lunacy or shards. In other words, you're playing a game of resource management outside of actual gameplay, which can be a lot of fun if you know what you're doing (or you could not participate in this game by dumping a lot of money but hey that's their decision to make).

[@TheHampet]

I think while it does suck that she will be gone for 3 months at least by the time she rolls around again she will be boxable. Some gacha usually make you wait almost a year for a rate up so you have to go by other means. I think im more upset that, how they said it was going to be the announcers would be not in the shop so they truly might be more limited then the IDs. mainly sucks because I had to choose between malkuth or outis and malkuth as it seemed was more limited. I guess ill see when the banner ends if i couldve gotten her through paid lunacy or not.

[@DregunStash]

Unfortunately you can't bring supports to some content (notably the Mirror Dungeon) and I really hope they change that Good video, valid criticism of Walpurgis, the first time it was announced I believe the community knew that this is how it was going to be... But something I do want to say is that there is a chance that Dark Flame isn't exclusive to the ID Something I've been wanting to see for a while are more meaningful EGOs, and ones that apply these rarer, more powerful status effects would be nice to see (not that burn needs more EGOs) But yeah, part of what makes this situation more unfortunate is that the game still doesn't feel like it has enough ID, especially because the old ones aren't great and uptie 4 wasn't the fix most of them needed, I'm overall content with the direction of the game and I look forward to seeing how the situation develops

[@terit3747]

Great video as usual. You singlehandedly make some of the best limbus content on youtube and I hope you keep it up. Only criticism I have is when discussing status effects, please bring up EGO gifts. Watching people get tribalistic about status effects is like watching two backstreet rats argue over which trashcan is safer. I feel like a lot of new players or people who took a break from limbus are coming back and don't understand the history of status effects and just parrot what you say. Burn has some of the best bang for your buck ego gifts, and though clearing boss fights with burn pre-magic bullet outis was more challenging than any other build, clearing human fights is a breeze with burn and thats why I run it when I want to efficiently farm MDs.

[@neroesthepangolinmaster]

The main reason I hope (and think) frei will not be 100% unique in applying dark flame (or more specifically something similar), is that they seem to be preparing for unique burn and/or bleed statuses. Because of this, I hope to see other versions of it, that do their own thing. Otherwise I agree with you. I also hope we get unique statuses for other teams, but hopefully not purely for walp. Also, why isn't dimensional rift unique rupture I will never know

Also something to note is Ahab boss fight has stuff that applies burn equal to bleed or similar effects, hopefully we geting something fun with her but then again liu ishmael....

[@izanagi2488]

Y’know what, I think they need to buff the IDs more than the statuses. One of my favourite examples is BL Yi Sang. He thrives in Poise because his count does not drop so easily unlike every other Poise unit. He also deals +70% more crit damage on his Skill 3 and Counter and gains extra clash power, but that’s about it. He doesn’t have much in his kit to make him a good fix for Poise. Sure, he fixes Poise, but that’s just the issue with maintaining it, not the lack of rewarding damage. I mean look at the Pequod Sang. He may not keep his count, but with the amount of damage and bleed he deals on a consecutive Skill 2 critical, it balances out.

[@tonycallme3667]

I think there should be an addition skill where it manually triggers burn damage just like with Rupture or Sinking, it would makes it significantly more worth while. As for tremor, some enemies does not have a stagger bar, i think it should automatically creates one if the potency is high enough or have another skill do it.

[@Menphistus]

Honestly I hope we get another burn ID soon. I kinda want it to be either a Faust or Ryoshu ID(due to either 9:2 and 4th match flame), ideally I'd kinda like them to have some sorta slash damage to diversify burn team more in damage-type since rn its mostly blunt(with some slight hints of pierce) Yi sang would also be... ideal.(specially since he was foreshadowed in Liu Hong Lu art together with Liu Faust)

[@mrrp405]

I agree on the superficiality of mb/df currently, as well as the issue of scarcity, but for now at least no content is really gonna feel that difference, so hopefully PM addresses “burn” damage before railways start keeping track of ID status conditions between fights. also, entirely unrelated and a question not long enough for a video, what do you think about the crackhead idea of charge potency? Right now charge count on any ID its on tends to fulfill the traditional purpose of both potency and count, but do you think there’s any potential to utilize charge potency for something interesting or not?

[@FriendOfHatkid]

What I think burn needs is 2 more Liu ids, one of which will be another director that should have a group passive, like Ninclair with Ncliff or Seven Heath. What I think would be interesting for Liu Director passive is: "If 4 or more surviving allies are from Liu, *all units deal bonus dmg with their skills for every ammount of burn on target* ". This was inspired by some of the passives from Ruina. And this dmg will also be flat dmg to ids. I think a cap for this will need to be, but this will also make burn something in between rupture and fragility. And, since burn is already easy to manage, this would prob work really well, and with Bullet Outis may have a possibility to be the best team to destroy bosses. I find that bleed amd burn work worse and worse the more enemies you face, but that would not really matter? I don't know, I ain't the best balancer guy, and maybe if pm implemented what I said that would make burn the best status effect. But yknow what? I think it deserves it. Well, maybe it does not deserve to be the best, but still. Also, remember how I said we need 2 Liu ids? Second one SHOULD BE RYOSHU. She already has 2 strong burn egos, she NEEDS some id that will work with burn and not turn it into burn/bleed comp. I also think she should be similar to what Liu section 2 members have been in Ruina: single coin attacker that also should use that card "Burning flash" (I don't remember how it is called), and have a passive that specifically buffs the dmg and burn application of single coin skills. I really just wanna see more reuses. And more single-coin ids, cuz for now we only have base Ishmael and G Outis, which I will never use.

[@julienboyer5044]

I'd like to point out that we may receive others dark flame sources in the future, we can meet an abberation of Der Frei in MD called Der shutz, being related to Der Frei makes it possible for it to inflict dark flame as an EGO or a Lobotomy EGO

[@Realag666]

Great Content as always

[@Shizkeb]

maybe there can be an effect that affects burn and bleed just so it can justify having to use Nclair in a burn team while also add team variety by capitalizing on different statuses

[@eryx0329]

Want to give ya some hope about dark flame, as like curently in the mirror dungeons we have witnessed some abnormalities that may too be able to inflict that same status, that being "Hole-in-the-man" and"Der Schütze"(this one may be the most likely contender as being a aberration of der freichutz). So i strongly belief that dark flame as a concept may be reintroduced in an EGO possibly at some point in the future. And who knows we have too seen the blue fires of ciggarettes on the Indigo Elder and Warp Ryoshu, so maybe we may get a Blue flame status similar to dark flame with a different effect in the future too, and it being an ID. And finally, the mansion of heath's chapter teaser looks like with flames around it, mayhaps this may be a hint at how season 4 will be the season to bring burn IDs into the game the same way with poise for season 3 and tremor for season 2(

[@1nning271]

I'm not quite sure if what I'm saying is right because I don't play limbus much anymore, but aren't molar Outis and Yi Sang exclusive IDs too? From digging around the dispenser, they aren't really able to be sparked at all, are they available in the standard fare or some other banner that makes them not exclusive?

[@poposao1]

I just tested a burn team against some Thread bosses and it went surprisingly well, aside from clashing power I imagine burn can become a very powerful staple of MD as long as we get more IDs. So far only charge and rupture are self sufficient but the latter still depends on EGO gifts most of the time.

[@teecee1827]

Poise is in a good place too, the only issue with it is that two of the best ID for it belong to Yi Sang (Blade lineage for team generation, Pequod for huge burst damage) , which is kinda sad. (it is truely self sufficient too, I farmed the Christmas event with a poise team made up of Pequod Yi Sang and Heathcliff with an optional 3rd poise character to a great success)

[@megabexbex3969]

I run burn in md hard a lot and ive been running them forever and clash power is always horrible and i even take out a liu for the healing chef ryoshu. Now theres more straight damage it’s gotten easier to get to 5-10 at least

[@LongNguyen-cz5ty]

Esgoo finally made another video about burn, now let’s just wait for the curse to kick in.

[@TokenOfChoice]

Great Video, just leaving my algorithm comment.

[@greelmindraker1023]

I mean I think its pretty clear at this point that project Moon are theming seasons around statuses. With last season being tremor and charge. And now this season being Poise and most likely bleed. They will obviously release a couple odd ones out or perhaps use the theme of the current season with other statuses like W Yi Sang. So we will have to most likely wait till the next season to see what the main statuses are gonna be. The main point im making is, CHARGE BURN ID INCOMING

[@kayoh9364]

The weird thing is. Even if Limbus were to get another Burn enabling ID *now*, it'd have to be carefully worked to not be overwhelming in conjunction with Bullet. So, the same problem as a fundamental burn change.

[@TheLastCurryRice]

With Hole in the Man Meursault EGO being saved until his canto (long wait), there's potential for another source of Dark Flame there I'd imagine. What threat level it'll be is a question though since he has a good EGO for both TETH (general use) and for HE (for burn)

[@datastalk]

great video as always

[@Water_Connoisseur]

The one problem I have with support ids is that you can't use them on mirror dungeon where they feel the most needed. Like running a burn team outside of mirror dungeon doesn't feel that impactful or useful and certainly not as fun if you get the funnier burn gifts. Plus md is the content that most people play so it's really weird that you can't use supports there

[@Heroman3003]

I assume next banner after Deici will be Pequod/Middle mixed banner (as final seasonal banner), then we're getting RR3, and between RR3 and Bone Lord, there will be time for at least one, if not two, banners that could see more burn IDs added. Still hoping for 000 Liu Ryoshu and 00 Liu Sinclair or Faust

[@ZAYKONN]

Even if they don't buff the status directly it still opens up a window into "How can they make it work?", Dark Flame may be "limited" but I'm sure it's not gonna be the only Burn support. The way I see it is that Dark Flame is another status effect, while Burst Tremor and Sinking Deluge are Skill Effects, so with that I believe that somewhere in the future they might make a Burn Skill Effect, and I tought of 2 possibilities. 1. Make a skill that proccs Burn. It's simple, Tremor and Sinking both just activate the status when the Skill Effect is activated, so it just makes sense Burn also gets one, and wheter or not it could work with Dark Flame is up for debate. 2. Burning Overflow As Burn and Rupture are the only 2 status that deal True Damage (excluding outside sources eg.: Dark Flame) it makes sense that they create a skill or passive that allows Burn to deal True Damage when applied past 99 Potency, which allows the Burn ID's to receive a substancial increase in damage, altough not much as it usually only applies 3 Burn, it still is True Damage, and if that damage still works on , you can definetly see good damage for normal content and surmountable damage on MD.

[@Xerberos542]

checking in today with the announcement of liu ryo and liu rodya. hopefully these are good tidings

[@unendingLevels]

One silver lining to the limited run of Dark Flame being available to burn teams: I don't think it's the only similar status we'll be seeing. If you look at many of the burn E.G.O. Gifts they have one very specific line of text on them as a condition. "When inflicting Burn Potency or Unique Burn effects". Implying there's going to be multiple kinds of unique burn that can trigger this condition with Dark Flame being one of them as it states in the debuff effect that it's a Unique Burn. Project Moon seems to be building frameworks in Limbus that will support future IDs and mechanics as they come out, and I think this is one of those instances So I wouldn't be surprised if we saw multiple types of Unique Burn status effects moving forward all dealing different sin affinity damage as a burst or causing other unique effects Let's just hope they're not all event exclusive...

[@cirospedale7511]

Honestly the thing that upset me most about Walpurgis2 is that I missed Pierre and Jack. Hoping I dont have to pay for them for WP3

[@virus8538]

Now we pray for a video on Nails

[@acridcesium_9971]

Hook Hong Lu is probably the best Walpurgisnacht ID in terms of importance to a team while taking into account the whole limited nature of the event. He's good in bleed teams and is generally an optimal pick, but if you don't have him then Tingtang or even Kurokumo if you're desperate can replace him on the team. And in some cases like the envy/bleed hybrid Hook Lu is worse than Tingtang, part of this is because he's a 00 while the 000s just naturally end up being stronger and more team defining, since Lantern Don is similar though Rupture was generally doing fine before her.

[@mrtheman5061]

What you think about Roland on the Nintendo switch? Also, next walpurgisnacht will be a charge band-aid (despite not needing one). Don’t blame me.

[@Aceleo209]

ESGOO will you be making a video on faction teams and why they're so rare in limbus? Currently there are only two faction teams being 7 association and N corp

[@gigablast4129]

cant wait for the next poise walp giving 100% more damage on crit

[@vantasethatsit9903]

i think they can fix burn without destroy everything by adding another kind synergy status like dark flame, for example they can repurpose smoke to synergize with burn or something

[@teath123]

I agree with you, but I also think this game is so ridiculously free to play to the point where anyone even slightly savy can get absolutely everything, every ID/EGO, I'm not against the slight carrot on the stick to get the game's wheels turning funding wise, and even that can be ignored by just... Saving up, using boxes in IDs/EGOs, and only rolling every 3 months. Undeniably though, we need more variety, and I honestly think they know what they're doing. The new season 3 IDs have for the most part touched on niches not explored much, and I'm sure they'll continue going forward. Having some super unique IDs as limiteds really isn't the end of the world, and you can shard them anyway (with a delay).

[@The_ever_preset_Bee_Eater]

I’m gonna gamble on project moon actually being big brain here and they, in the future, will add more id’s just like outis with a status that’s just like dark flame but different to fit the charter and this also helps so that you can’t go to bat shit crazy stacking burn and dark flame but hey that’s just a theory

[@tooktookgullible]

Hey we got actual nice burn ids now. Developer hyungnim is probably subscribed to you

[@DemonKing19951]

I will say, from what I've seen of burn IDs (at tier 4) implies to me they want to use burn as a sort of charge style status effect. Which, given its set up of being easy to build up and sustain, makes a lot of sense. I do agree though, we need more IDs that build up off of burn. Even if it was something as simple as an ID who's passive was gaining offense level for every 3 burn on target, I imagine up to a limit of like 10 because they're no fun, unit would be great. Burn doesn't need to do more damage it just needs IDs that benefit from it more. Burn doing more damage would be great but we've already got Egos and dark flame to show how the basic 99 burn can be turned into something so much worse for the enemies. Imagine for a minute we get a bronze bull ID and suddenly we can start pushing bosses into stagger hundreds of damage earlier than they'd normally do so without even tremor on the team. Alternatively a wild fire mechanic that deals damage to neighboring enemies based on how much burn the ID's primary target has.

[@etiquettemadman]

A quick idea on burn damage: create an ID whose skill(s) substract 1 or more Burn Count and apply X times Burn Potency damage. That way, we can inflict >99 burn damage without buffing this status.

[@MrGalath]

Liu Ishmael with Blossom Star + Outis + the occasional usage of Ryoshu’s Match Flame EGO is a heavenly lineup for me. Also Gripclair since he has burn but I like using Cinqlair more.

[@Lh0000]

I am once again reminded Ryoshu has no burn ID… please PM give Ryoshu a burn ID…

[@MrGalath]

@@Lh0000 lmao yeah though I still love using Gordon Ramsay Ryoshu

[@DistressedCrab]

Even if she’s a band-aid, I love her UT3 story :)

[@NeoBoneGirl]

While I still think Liu Ishmael is the core of a burn team a lot more than MB Outis (after all, outside of EGO spam, you need someone to apply the burn, not to mention her extremely consistent clashing), but I get the point. I choose to believe, however, that these IDs represent a sort of fundamental change in how to design IDs for the status in the future. It'd be cool if tremor was focused on additional debuffing along with the pop to really make it feel like your enemies are "off balance", and if Burn IDs were able to rally around consistent clashing and damage thanks to being afforded big coin bonuses. I also think it's just a symptom of needing more (good) IDs, since I definitely DON'T feel like bleed or rupture need the Walpurgis IDs. They certainly help, but there are plenty of other viable alternatives you could run with just the units in the game right now, especially since the "Unique Bleed" change

[@Lectures_de_Lineia]

...Wait, is Hook Hong Lu better than KK Hong Lu for bleed despite the cloudcutter? I'll admit I entirely ignored that ID.

[@stormisapproaching]

Ishmael giving Mersault a snickers is probably the best thing I saw in a month

[@nzhad9185]

I really want an id to consume the enemy's burn to deal damage, like sunshower heatcliff's passive, but with burn. Like "on crit consume 1 burn count on enemy to deal damage based on burn potency" (i know its kinda the same as dark flame but whatever)

[@ruthz9515]

Idk why 'dealing sin affinity dmg' doesn't get to be the part of more status. If you think about it, maybe rupture could deal gluttony, and tremors could also deal sloth when tremor burst. Burn maybe wrath and dark burn just gives varieties to wrath dmg team. Idk I just like the way sinking deluge works on coil centipede.

[@paulrouvray2665]

We got more burn IDs! Well, one is a walspurgis one, but we got more!

[@guycool8067]

YOUR CURSE IS REAL ESGOOOOOO THE FAULT OF NEW LIU LIES WITH YOU

[@edwardtanujaya9786]

Yooo

[@Late0NightPC]

I felt something kinda similar when they released the lv40 Thread nodes. All of the nodes have fairly good sin weaknesses for the respective boss fight, like the Fairy Gentleman being weak to sloth and STNOWC being weak to wrath, which were both one of their original weaknesses and fit to their character concept as a weakness they'd likely have. But then you have monday's node which is the Drifting Fox, who's now fatal to Lust, even though absolutely nothing about the Fox is related to lust. I couldn't figure out why it was suddenly changed to Lust when there would have been so many better Abnos to give the Lust-weakness to especially given that it's entire gimmick was sanity loss which is better tied to gloom, but then it hit me. NFaust. NFaust has a SP restoring passive reliant on lust skills, she has a teamwide sanity restore on-kill with her S3(and the fox has lots of cheap trash units to kill), and the fox even deals almost exclusively slash damage, which is the thing she's weak to. I feel like they chose to make the Fox the Lust thread day because if they didn't, whatever would have been lust would have been made way too easy by Nfaust's sanity restoring abilities unless it also had a ton of SP draining gimmicks.

[@makie128]

I use Chef Ryoshu as my 6th 'burn' member each time I do a MD run. Two notable gifts I always try to get are the ones that inflicts burn on lust and envy skills, which Chef Ryoshu has. I mean she has two EGO that deals burn so still waiting for a slash-burn ID.

[@blazichaos7181]

One thing ive noticed is that "ID types" that would be inspiration appropriate for a sinner are explicitly not happening, Ryoushu's a big one who has 2 burn EGO's and inspired from a story who's big thing was burning a carridge (if i remember correctly), yet no burn ID, Meursault is in a similar position, having no ammo ID (hell, Der Meursault was a pretty popular fan concept), despite being the funny man who shot an arab cause "sun". I imagine thats on purpose and we might get such ID's at the end of said sinners "canto/character arc." fingersd crossed.

[@funninoriginal6054]

​@@blazichaos7181 Ok but like, Der Meursault? I can do you one better: Solem Lament Meursault.

[@Mr.Stizblee]

This is half of the reason I'm so excited for Ryoshu's chapter. It only makes sense for it to be the burn chapter and having her finally being able to take full advantage of 4th Match Flame will be so fun. The other reason I'm excited for Ryoshu's chapter is that she's best girl and I want her to murder me.

[@jcsoriano916]

I cry in agony everytime I'm reminded of the fact that I don't have Magic Bullet Outis

[@monte8901]

I would like to say something about Dark Flame and I guess that effect will have the same destiny as Discard, Discard is only on the Molar ID, then we had the Dieci and their Insight effects wich works the same as Discard. Perhaps we gonna have a newer dark flame like-effect for burn but maybe instead of Pride damage does Wrath? But I mean, as Discvard does the same as Insight, we can have statuses which works like other statuses!

[@phoenixporo2045]

As someone who misses molar outis. Shes currently more rare then any Walpurgisnacht ID because i have no freaking ID how and where to get that one.
