Star of the city fights

[Yhune]

So apparently star of the city fights now use the passive system, having some extra passives.
Do you guys know all the passives they have now?
I know cane martina has lone fixer, talent and something else.
Bada has punch to the solar plexus, unstable charge and margin
Nemo has deflect assault, unstable charge and singular strike.

Seems like a pretty neat change, star of the city fights now became more difficult, and some fights are no longer a joke, like cane office.

Here's an example of their power now:

At the same time, none of the fights in terms of fierceness reaches the level of Liu association. Of course, I understand that these are fixers whose specialization refers to the destruction of everything and everyone, but for example, from the cane office after the words about 11 requests of the city's star level, I expected much more.

I think that they actually had assistance when fighting those 11 Star of the City requests and the contract screwed them over. This is from their reaction to them going in alone to the Library. They lost do to being over confident.

Welp, i'm definitely going to have to keep an eye out for fun changes. Though i'm glad i managed to farm all the key pages before said buff, kinda, as that would've made it so much more tedious (good lord that guy's orange page just would NOT drop).

They were not overly self-confident because the Director initially wanted to send someone else to replace himself and his best employees. Our opponents from canes office, when they got into the library, looked like they had been sent to slaughter, one might say so since being squeezed from all sides and going to the star of the city with a team of 3 persons is very stupid.

One has to wonder why the Library has limitations on people we're allowed to deploy. Maybe Angela doesn't trust us not to immediately burst them down and reduce the value of the books we get?

[fish444]

Usually you get to deploy the same amount of allies as there are enemies. There are some exceptions like puppets or sweepers, but those start with weak mooks, which gives it more like a fighting waves of enemies.
I guess story-wise fighting against similar numbers generates more emotion?
Not to mention it feels more appropriate.

[Ekimmak]

Fair.

I did try to fight that fight again, and the fight was far tighter the second time. Only got through with EGO abuse and some luck. I guess my tanking build isn't as good as their tanking build.

[Yhune]

Now that I look at it, martina has talent which makes me wonder, does talent work on the extra stagger damage from uncanny strike?

I tested it, and sadly it didn't work.

Oh also liu is unchanged and thumb has +1 power to dices for the first scene, denis having that plus piercing mastery.
Boris has concussion and +1 power to blunt dices, can't remember kalo and katriel.

[Ekimmak]

I feel like it'd be pointless to give Boris +1 blunt power, since his best attack ignores all power boosts/penalties.

On the note of stars of the city, I think it's worth remembering that this games classification simply means how much people are willing to pay for something to be done. This is why the crying children was seen as worse than the pianist despite killing less people. So it's possible the stars that the cane office dealt with were on the less dangerous side of the spectrum.
