can't clash kromer's "I will claim your life"

[Neve Negra]

can anyone help me? idk what i'm doing wrong, every single time that skill shows up i use a ego skill to counter it (a guide told me to do it like that 'cause it's a auto win, also everyone other skill is always loses) and whenever the ego skill attacks kromer it shows that she uses "you are worthless" (the evasion skill) so when the next character attacks it loses the clash agains "i will take your life"

Did you check speed values? You can only redirect with dice faster than the opponent's.

also a general good idea to clash strong clashes with EGO attacks

Outis's default EGO is the best combination of cheap + high clash power out of all the base EGOs. It doesn't come with a cool debuff like Meur's but if all you want to do is win a clash...

i can't say for sure, but i would always use the quickest character to do the deed

miss "the odissey had a purpose"? (a bit hard to find their actual names written in the games instead of their logo or identity) unfortunately the identity i have for her is very weak which makes her a liablity

If she has a dodge, your Ego will clash with her dodge first instead of claim your life, so it's generally the second or after person that has to EGO clash

(no such a thing, id say, as I was using her 0 form and it was fine)

her base identity is unleveled and her current is g corps with only 2 skills that are always either sturggling or hopeless in clashes

Never use identities without uptying them. Even ignoring skill upgrades + S3 unlock, speed is important for Abnormalities.

i'm only using identities that are 3* except for mariachi sinclair which is 2 since i can't farm for threads

I am almost certainly sure that this is not true, make sure that you aren't redirecting 'i will claim your life' with another sinner who has lower speed than the one using ego, since redirections will always give priority to the most recent one assigned. (Basically, after using ego to redirect 'i will claim your life' and making sure it has the yellow arrows signifying the clash, don't assign any other skills to the slot kromer has 'i will claim your life' set in.)

[MotivatedBoi]

If I remember correctly, she's very slow in terms of speed, so it's most likely because you're trying to make a one-sided attack on the same slot, but due to speed shenanigans it gets redirected instead.

using only 3* IDs is a choice that can backfire hard, Rodion, Ryoshu, Hong Lu and Heathcliff all have bleed in their 3*s which gets hard-countered by Kromer. the new Mersault is even worse thanks to Nails, and W-Don, W-Mersault and R-Ish all have charge gimmicks that can limit them at a point where you desperately need power.
Default IDs are extremely worth keeping in mind as options, they usually have good skillset for enabling their default EGOs, and in a lot of cases those are extremely valuable ("The Odyssey had a Purpose" girl Outis is a great example since "To Pathos Mathos" has a high enough power floor that a low roll will still beat a high-rolling "I Will Claim Your Life")
