[Mersault] Pursuance or Capote?

[cheesebUrger]

I know it's fairly early into the season so I likely won't get a concrete answer anytime soon, but I'm making this thread anyway. I already have Pursuance and am about to get Capote from the battle pass, and I noticed both are HE grade. Which do you think is better generally?

[SmallGespenst]

Pursuance has HP and SP healing, which is really strong as utility effects go, especially since the patch significantly up-valued SP generation, so Capote sits in a similar position to something like Don Fluid-Sac or Faust Telepole where using it means missing out on something really good.

Don't have Capote yet so I can't really judge it yet, but I think I'll personally be keeping Pursuance for Meursault's HE slot, healing is pretty nutty when you need to recover from unavoidable bad clashes. Plus, Pursuance can be self fed by Meursault with his default and rosehammer ID and shares 2/3 affinities with his other EGO.

Though I guess it all really depends on whether you want healing or damage(?), and if the IDs you plan on using can properly feed whichever EGO you choose.

Though, I don't think Pursuance has SP healing like SmallGespenst says, does it?

yeah only hp healing

Capote seems to be cheap for a single target HE EGO. Most of them are 6 cost. Pursuance is more useful in something like railway due to its cost. Honestly, I never felt the need to use Pursuance when Fluid Sac exists as well as Chef Ryoshu's support passive.

So Pursuance would be better if you don't have Fluid Sac and Chef Ryoshu.

It doesn't.

yeah I'm mixing up my heal EGOs, it's just HP, but 30% HP which I believe is biggest heal available (only on two units, but it's the two that need it most)
Whereas Capote is a pay-off for Tremor/Burn, that can't feed itself and has a very narrow range for its full power since it requires Tremor Burst specifically to trigger.

Pursuance. More versatile, can save your sinners' asses in a pinch.

Pursuance is incredibly useful in a pinch, but Capote helps a lot in supporting a Tremor team that Mersault can apply Tremor himself.

Ishmael Capote is kinda a meme though ngl.

I don't see much point in capote (I don't see much point in mers either tbh but that's another point). Capote is cheaper and has different purpose, so it may have its uses in burn/tremor teams.

It's another specialized EGO, where it has obviously better performance in Tremor teams since they directly benefit off of the EGO, but it's not as general as Persuance.

Oh Boi lad you cant ignore 50 Hp Heal for 2 Sinner each Pop by pursuance, but the problem is you can buy Fluid Sac Faust for full team healing as well.
