About the bloodfiend team

[Demonking]

I don't think we should judge them before bad end sancho comes out. I have this gut feeling that they're currently being designed in a somewhat similar fashion to BL with Dulcinea and Sancho providing some buff to the team comp that makes them more interesting. Not that it isn't interesting already having heal tanks with their sort of gimmick, but I can see why some would be disappointed they're just a different flavor on IDs we got previously.

This 100% remember peqoud and their synergy with BL? we may get something similar to it.

I imagine here's how it'll work out:

Potentially a pair of 2 stars to build up blood on the battlefield/apply count.

Barber is group DPS.

Priest is single target killer.

Dulcinae will be the buffer of the group, improving everything they do.

Darth Sancho will end up giving everyone shields.

Nah, screw 00 ids. Four on the floor, meet the bloodfiend gang. Maybe even 5 if they give us Casseti ID (Would be hilarious if he is gonna be 00). Considering that Don has Lust WAW, Rodion has Lust WAW, Gregor has Lust WAW, Outis has Lust TETH, and maybe, just maybe they will give Casseti to Heath (Fat chance), you could do a full 5 EGO chain of lust. Woo-hoo!

Nah just gonna say that this would be kind of lame. 2 stars are the backbone of what makes a 3 star function at full power work outside of mirror dungeon. They usually get all the count and otherwise do have important jobs on their respective teams. 3 stars basically only get things to boast their damage at the end of the day, and nothing to actually sustain the kind of potency they want on a target fully. Bleed is the only offensive status effect that can get away with not having any because N-faust and Rino maursault exist to provide all the bleed count, and I personally would like to switch them out as soon as possible. The only other one that can exist without any 2 stars is Charge. Even tremor would at least require you ego spam to keep your 3 stars from constantly reducing their count to 0.

What the hell is Rino Meursault? I have forgot he existed since Canto 5 came in.

I don't really think it's THAT lame. Considering they gave us, uh, adequate degree of suffering in this canto, it's only fair they give some OP ids/egos as a compensation. I mean, Don's waw is basically "press the button to make everything weak to pierce die". And since the priest bloodfiend, which is a freaking support character for the fight with trio, is 000, then Dulcinea is totally going to be 000, and this leaves Casseti ID as the only possible 00.

Well no, we also have the option of a 2 star unit based off Dulcinea's crew. The could take considerable inspiration from how her boss fight went and make the 2 stars specifically benefit off of her buffs as a method of activating their conditionals. Since they will likely want it to be 2 males we'll probably end up getting one umbrella man and then the prince. Seeing as we're getting these IDs from 200 years ago and prince was 100% only as much of a problem as he was because of warp train immortality glitch, I could see him not necessarily being too special at that time.

While I want to believe that as well, PM releasing Pregor as a single banner most likely means we're going to get the usual amount of 7 IDs per season (minus the event ones) and we already have 5 with Dulci and Sancho on the way. So yeah, the full 6-sinner bloodfiend team is kinda screwed there...

On the other hand, that means you can give a second slot to Sancho and Dulci Rodya if using a full bloodfiend team, so yay!

Yes.

[Astra]

To be fair rep, 00 ID's are actually pretty decent. Need I remind you of Crack Heath literally being a charge fueler for Crack Faust and other Charge ID's. Put him on a team with Red Eyes and her usual charge gain triples.

You say screw them but Meat Lantern Don is still one of the best rupture tanks, if you exclude K corp hong lu who cannot function without other rupture ID's or activating his passive a few times.

You also have 7 heathcliff who practically keeps up with 7 Faust.

From what I saw Streamer Meursault doesn't count as a story ID, but maybe that won't mean much other than them saving a 3 star slot. The only saving grace is that if they were restraining what IDs we'd get per a week what we saw surrounding that character, then it's not impossible Sancho gets released with a 2 star rather than as a single banner. Even then, I would half respect it if they decided to go with the 5 man, even if it would contrary to the format that's taking over.

Cinq Meur is a secret ingredient that will help us later, when Rupture gets some love in the intervallo or WN. How is your hoard of lunacy is doing btw? New WN is gonna be in december. I got around 50k lunacy saved up for spinning them banners.

[Demonking]

About 26K over here, I always give banners at least a single 10 pull to see if I get lucky and I save up plenty doing that.
