Fix Houchic Tentacle Slam Synergy

[Miner Annoyance]

I'll start this off with an unrelated, but positive piece of feedback, because I've got months of Houchic bad game design complaint coming after.

So first, you made the Pan Sun event from spots actually worth doing, and not a net negative if you did the event. You made the enemies give exp ALONG with the pansuns. Without the exp, especially if you had one of the longer durations of the event, you lost a lot of EXP for doing it. So really good job adding that back. Was very happy to see this.

However.....

Why on God's green earth is the Tentacle Smash Synergy so patently unfun it makes playing Houchic extremely unsatisfying even with the rest of his kit being fun?

The required Synergy perk NEVER drops. EVER. Maybe like once in 50 runs with Houchic will you see the required drop. Tentacle smash is his signature move, and you NEVER get to synergize it.

I'll see the other rare equipment drop frequently, but not the tentacle smash synergy equipment.

EVERY other temtem you get their signature move synergy EVERY game. It's a core part of their identity as characters. But you DON"T ever get this with Houchic.

I lowkey think you hate Houchic, because his Kudo for using his ultimate the required times per match was the ONLY temtem kudo of that type that you could NOT get without luck. You HAD to get the heat sink item to drop and it HAD to drop early, and you HAD to have the ultimate cooldown talent as well and even then it was close. EVERY other temtem didn't have that issue and you could just rawdog the kudo by hitting your ultimate very time it came up.

FIX. IT.

Either change the required equipment drop for the synergy for a common one like all the other tem tem,

or,

if the reason you make it so hard is because the synergy is really,really., really good, then NERF the synergy.

The frustration from NEVER getting to use the synergy, on top of the rare few times you did get it, on top of having maybe a minute with the synergy the one in a million times you did get it, completely outweighs any of the fun you get when you do get the synergy.

Fix it or delete Houchic from the game.

It all the tems, I been working on kudo and the new one took me 50 run to finally get the poison synergy to happen. They need to make it so gear or skill has a higher chances to proc the synergy of it counterpart when you have one equipped, or add way more banish like 15

they keep adding more gears which increases the pool, and yeah few are type related and only show up on selected tems, but cause of how many generic gear, it adds up. still a large pool. and what dumb is they all have rarity tied to them

It's not all the tems. Unless something changed specifically with this patch, but yeah, now that you mention it, the poison one is also rare, but I feel like I've gotten that synergy way more than Houchic's.

Every single tem has few gear the seem to have rare chance of it showing up that it took me 25+ run while I was working on kudo quest. least for me they take forever to show up.

An after today patch with how many new gear where added, I am struggling on all tem's to get half the synergy combo. So many runs I had ended up finishing the match with only 2 that end up as a synergy combo. gear cause I couldn't get anything that combo'd after using up all banish and reroll.
