Sinkling effect
Is Sinking good debuff or is it mid? I always go for Bleed/Rupture/Burn/Poise build for every mirror dungeon run. Ive only tried Sinking once in story mode when the Yi Sang Spicebush first release, I cant tell if its good or nah.

Also this is unrelated but, why is the Sinking icon look like a blue Schlong with balls hanging?

Half and half. Sinking is super good with abno fight like Rupture and nuke enemy sp and make them never roll head. But Sinking ID dont deal much damge and sinking dont deal any damge to enemy with sp outside Spicebush Sang, Butler Outis skill 3.

Sinking is the second most powerful status (right behind the rupture) for boss and abno killing, it’s all due the Rime shank EGO for quick stacking and above-mentioned Spicebush S3.

It is quite good. Good damage on abnos, and allows to reliably win clashes against ppl, unles the have negative coins.

Ok so its like Rupture. When hit, take fixed damage but in Gloom damage but only works if the enemy has no sp, otherwise it deals sp damage. And most bosses does not have sp.

I Thought Burn is the best status in the game because we now have Outis Magic bullet.

Burn does not have a sinking deluge type of thing (but it got a burst type with new Rodia), main thing with sinking is to stack it a bit and burst it with spicebush Yi S3 (works on people with sp too, but they need to be at -45 sp for that)

Burn is not that bad by itself, it's just that we have no decent id's stacking it. And it kinda weaker than sinking in serious fights, where you can't afford to slowly chip away enmy's health, and a lost clash can cost you a sinner. Sinking makes clashing much easier.

I cant argue with that since burn only shine in later floor in md. But since Outis Magic bullet its make burn hits like 500 per turn, well at least for me.

Good. Best against lonely enemy that's Fatal to Gloom.

It looks like drooping goo. It's similar to sadness. Falling down, depressed.

I ain't dobting it's dot damage, it is the clashing. And for example, bleed and poise are unmatched rn in terms of clash power

I play with 5 teams (charge/bleed/poise/burn/sinking) and I haven't tried Butler Outis but without her, Sinking are my weakeast Team in MD, their problem come from Sinking dont do gloom damage (unless deluge) to enemy with sanity, and in MD most of the enemy have sanity which make their clear speed slower than other team, and beside with the exception of spicebust S3, they dont have ids with strong nuke like Rip Space, etc so their damage can feels lacking if you face against tanky mobs, though I guess this kinda even out with Dieci have consitant damage with discard.

Ofc they can clear mobs fast if you have their T4 gift, but like..the same can be said to pretty much all status except charge and bleed (idk about tremor, bleed only need bloody mist), Rupture and Burn for example have auto Sinking Deluge 2.0 in each turn with their gift, and Poise have a slightly weaker bloody mist as their T4 gift.

Ofc this is just for mobs, they will deleting boss fight with Sinking if you concern about that and are usable outside of MD (charge/sinking is the king of RR2 and still mosly dominant in RR3).

Your mind might change once you try Butler Outis since that's a free mini-nuke added to the team, and maybe your mind will change further once we actually get a 6th sinking team member in Butler Faust(?)

It's incredibly good until it isn't.
Remember the recent event? Remember Kim?
Sinking straight up buffs him. But he's somewhat unique (negative-coin, sanity-possessing, boss-type enemy).

Usually bosses have no sanity (so sinking turns into "rupture", basically, which is good).
Or they do (a certain Cap'n comes to mind), but their coins are positive, which means that, genuinely, Sinking is even more useful (I'd rather my enemy always roll "0" on their coin tosses than take 10-15 damage each hit)
