Using ego shards to buy Telepole or Hex Nail

[Electron]

In your guy's opinion, what is better, buying Telepole or Hex Nail for Faust?

[Reptiloid]

We have hex nail already, what are y talking about?

[Mastema]

Uhhh Telepole is HE, Hex is TETH. Imho Fluid Sac will always be better. Don and Heaths Telepole EGOs are a lot stronger.

I have the ego shards to buy either the hex nail or Telepole, but i don't know which one i should get

If you don't have premium BP, buy Telepole. If you have premium BP bought then buy Hex Nail instead.

Ah ok cool thx

The telepole one doesn't have much use unless you only have the W-corp ID for some reason. Whereas nail while isn't too amazing or anything does synergize well with pierce and/or envy followup attacks. I'd take the nail if I were given the choice.

Telepole. Hex nail is kind of useless unless you are running a whole stack of envy. Maybe it will be good in some other encounters, who knows. But rn, just a waste of ego slot.

Telepole makes don's rip space spammabe so its no brainer. Hex nail.. fills the empty slot I guess?

I'd assume they're comparing Faust's Telepole, not Don's.
If you don't have Faust's Fluid Sac from the paid pass Telepole is a great enabler for her W-corp ID, but in that case the shards would be better spent on Fluid Sac once it gets put in the Dispense menu at the end of the Season. Hex Nail is mediocre outside of specialised teams, but at least it isn't directly competing with one of the best EGOs in the game, and most useful on an ID that feeds said top tier EGO pretty well.

DON'T BUY TELEPOLE. It's requires a Wrath identity and isn't AOE or Heal. I have both Telepole and Fluid Sac and i've never felt a reason to use Telepole.

Currently Fluid Sac is just better all the time. The synergy with her 000 identity, Kurokumo Rodion and Ryoshu, the new Outis and really all the main identities in the game rn just makes it superior.

If you just care about the drip tho, buy it. Telepole gots the drip.

for usage go Hex Nail.

Thanks for the advice

save your ego shards until the last few days of the season, as you'll never know when you roll an ego from the gacha

unless you want to remove an ego from the gacha, i suppose.

Only Telepole you should buy is Don's. I'm only missing Faust Telepole and Yi Sang's which no Tryhard ever uses, even less so for Railway where is all about the DPS Rabbits and Dons. Most Busted Areas are Fluid Sac, Ebony and Maggots due to Spam.
