Jendaya and Rocky lack synergy

[Darkhaven]

I've been having a bit of a difficult time really getting items for Jendaya that pair well with Rocky, as Rocky and Jendaya don't share many tags for their abilities.

For example, Rocky gets Jendaya's boost in raw stats, but items that she uses which buff melee don't affect Rocky whatsoever. Of the few items that do sync with Jendaya (Buff, Debuff and the rare Move), Rocky doesn't have many that share in with her.

On top of THAT, even the abilities they do share, have the keyword Golem...so items can't sync to Rocky at all because of this.

I'm not sure if it was an oversight or intentional, but the best I've been able to do with Jendaya so far is give her bows or thrown knives; no melee weapon or magic weapon seems to fit her, which kind of sucks.

At the moment, it is intended that item bonuses (I assume you are referring to things like Apply * on Hit) do not apply to Rocky as it is not Rocky holding the item, and additionally stat bonuses already double dip by applying to both her and Rocky.

With that said, we will spend some took looking at the item/mod pool to put a little something in for our dear Rocky before launch.

Thanks for the reply! If I may give an example: Jendaya's 1-2 Punch card. She has a few cards that simply say Attack, rather than Melee, Spell or Range Attack. Because of this, melee and staff weapons don't really fit Jendaya no matter what deck style or stat she focuses on.

I usually play her Earth Mage starting deck, and though it's a fun defensive play, Jendaya has to use a bow or thrown knives in order to feel right as she grows. Sometimes I can find a staff that has slots for buffs and debuffs, but that takes a while (crafting does help).

Currently, I'm playing the Golem Master deck, and 1-2 Punch really stood out with respect to gear synergy with Rocky. Jendaya has another pure Attack card, that manifests weapons, and even though it lacks Rocky, it's a cool card that's hard to gear for.

Oh, I see what you mean now - yes, those cards are incorrectly tagged and will be updated in a patch later today.
