Alaya-Vijnana Type E staying Inactive?

[BlackTide]

So I got the AV mod you get from having all the Barbatos variants installed on the suit I like (lord Astray) and I have the AV type-E ability on a custom character, but the Type E keeps saying its inactive, can you just not use AV type-E outside of certain suits?

Type E is only in 2 suits, the Vidar and Kimaris Vidar.

Type-E is only on Vidar and Kimaris Vidar. Bio is only in Graze Ein. Original is only in Bael.

They function separately from the AV 1-3, and don't count fully.

I don't think Inferno unlocks them for adding as parts mods either.

You cannot use Type-E outside of original suit. Original and BioUnit can however but will not get benefit from a suit unless its matches a require level (Game data counts both Original and Bio lv 0).

It actually explains itself clear in pilot version of said ability in description, as other aside from Type-E require any suit with Alaya-Vijnana system installed but Type E specifically say it needs to be Alaya-Vijnana system Type E in the suit otherwise ability will be inactive.

It helps when you understand the story and lore about the Bio and Type-E AV systems, they're both Ein's body/brain or copy of his brain, which is only in the Graze Ein and Vidar variants.

I'm actually kind of sad we don't get a proper Graze Ein variant of Ein, considering his body is partially destroyed and his personality is distorted. I put Ein into the Graze Ein with the Bio AV system and unfortunately he still looks normal. I don't remember if he has specific lines for that unit or not.

Personally I wouldn't bother with AV systems unless you really just must have it to roleplay or want to match pilots to suits they used in the story. I think they're a waste of an ability slot at pretty much any stage of the game. They just don't offer much that you can't easily max out otherwise or is too small to matter.

Type-E is the exception and is actually really good, if only because it's a +20% damage modifier. Damage modifiers tend to be your best friend. Kimaris Vidar also has a pretty good moveset on top of that. You'll only get that damage bonus in a Vidar unit.
