So the current assumption has been that it's going to be a story about retrofitting Mephi to be seaworthy in time for Ishmael's chapter, along with event IDs and EGO / a subchapter similar to Hell's Chicken.

You know I had a theory that the T Corp soldiers we fought in Yi Sang's dungeon were set-up for us fighting them later but given how colorful this is, plus Liu Ishmael's story mentioning that U Corp preservation box that Roland mentioned, we might be going to U Corp for Ishmael's chapter (and this event).

Colours are not banned in T Corp as far as we know, they are stated to be a privilege, so it would actually be immensely in character for them to have this super colourful beach you have to pay to access so you can escape your drab-rear end sepia life. I don't think it's going to be T Corp though, but that's just because I think T Corp is going to be Heathcliff due to reasons of aggressive Britishness.

So yeah could also be U Corp keeping a Perfect Day On The Beach in stasis in case they ever need one, or something.

I could see 4.5 being U, but I feel like 5 has to be outskirts. The trailer seems rather suggestive with the specific district being unnamed, so some people are guessing Z, unda the sea, but that might be a reach.

Ishmael specifically calls out spending large amounts of time in the outskirts in some of the abnormality logs so that seems likely for her, especially since the chapter 3 and 4 have also built up the outskirts a fair amount with Demian and The Tearful Thing.

I could see chapter 5 ending with the bus crash landing in T district. Would be a nice segue.

No, 5 has to be bordering the ocean because it's Ishmael's chapter, and Ishmael's whole Deal is ocean-based.

LostRook
Jun 7, 2013
Isn't the ocean part of the outskirts?

Also, the name is "Embark on a Pelagic Journey!" So chapter 5 shouldn't border the ocean, but exists within it to some degree.

I don't think Lobotomy Corporation would build a branch facility in the outskirts. We might have to sail over to some island off the coast, or maybe find some underwater facility, but that's probably still going to be within the City.

I'm guessing it's just a normal Wing. There are "nice" parts of the city that are still built on hyper-capitalist suffering but the residents/corps are rich enough to keep the psycho murderers and filthy poors out. Until someone even richer sells your town to nail-wielding lunatics but what are the chances of that happening

Lobcorp might not have a proper branch on the outskirts, but the early days did have a facility out there*. I think, been a while.
Probably long gone well before the branches all got sealed, or at minimum picked clean by scavengers.

*There being 'somewhere in the outskirts'. Where exactly, or even which direction from the city? :shrug:

Just because the branch facility probably isn't in the outskirts doesn't mean we won't still need to go to the outskirts. We were done with the branch facility a little more than third through canto 4, but we still had to schlep all the way to the top of k corp to get our hands on the Branch and enter the dungeon.

Given we don't really know anything about the Golden Branches, I can't really say it doesn't make sense for the original lab to have a golden branch left over, but it definitely feels wrong to go to the main outpost pre-Wing for a Golden Branch. Beyond that, we saw out the window in Ruina and saw a lot of land, and people were just loitering in the building, so I doubt the original lab was on some island out at sea. On the other hand, Tiphereth's flashbacks were on the waterfront, so good chance it was on the coast.

finally pulled a burn gift as my opener so running Liu (plus chef ryoshu and treesang) and while they're going to be phenomenal in more than a few railway fights and probably at least one story dungeon, they don't really have the clash chops to be generically runnable in mirror hardmode I suspect

but if you get a good burn gift to start out, leaning into burn will take you a ways

everything else aside this is a total overhaul of my calculations and that's great

(also you get +100 starting cost from the upper right path which is the first path you should take, and +10 per fight which is just completely loving nuts)

Deets on Zwei Rodion and Rhino Salt are out. Rodion does Poise, and has a passive that gives her automatic Shield based on her amount of Poise, and her Skills 2 and 3 become more powerful when a certain threshold of Shield has been reached.

Rhino Salt is mostly Slash and Bleed, funnily enough. He also likes to Go Fast and Have Charge as his skills gain extra oomph if he is Going Fast enough or has enough Charge, and he has a passive that gives him extra max speed (so not haste, sadly) at certain Charge intervals to help him in his goals of punching your blood out.

The wild thing is he only does a bunch of bleed count, not bleed. Which means he'll need some bleed support to get much out of it. R-Heath has a LITTLE bit with skill 2, but most charge characters don't also do bleed stuff. But I guess he could fit a bleed comp, if he feeds his skill 3 enough charge with 1 and 2.

The funniest part of this is that they're claiming it's so that people stop bringing Faust to every fight, something that isn't going to happen because N Faust is still the best support ID in the game (also Fluid Sac still exists).

Most of the changes, I get it. It's an ego that refunds a lot of sanity for the team when the theme of the update is making sanity matter more for base egos. So, it gets a 5 sanity penalty for being a base ego with AOE and a 5 sanity penalty for giving half the team a decent chunk of sanity back.

What gets me is the new passive, which feels like something they'd change in the upcoming "buff base egos that don't feel like they do anything" pass. How often is Heal Efficiency really going to come up? Honestly?

^^^ EDIT: At least N Corp Faust needs specific team comps to actually get Whistles off. Fluid Sac... would probably also get reworked into "give X sanity to Y lowest-sanity characters" if they weren't gunshy about changing things people didn't get for free.

this feels like future-deproofing so that Faust isnt the obvious default for that niche, forever.

I absolutely get the Representation Emitter nerf, it was easily the 2nd best support EGO after Fluid Sack, except it had a fraction of the cost and it's passive was basically free +2 to Coins, considering that the current meta kinda expects that even most RR fights will be done below 10 turns.
