Everyone think that Outis, Gregor or Heathcliff are the strongest on the team.

Hong Lu is the strongest both because no one is taking him seriously (Except Faust and/or Outis) and he is seriously good with that staff of his (No pun intended)

I like his smug little wink as he stands on the body of an enemy he just kicked the poo poo out of. And at least he doesn't have as loving awful a time building up charge as 00 W Corp Faust, jesus christ.

one of his turn start quotes starts with ideal/yi sang which distracts me every time. he does generate charge well but in my experience by the time he got the 10+ needed to help out the team W Ryoshu and W Don had already murdered everything

that said he can clash well and his S3 does give him some barrier even if you don't meet the requirements so he's not dead weight by any means, and he benefits from any charge gifts obviously

Really? I felt like he was more comfortable than others. He even says he likes analysing cases, it's just hard for him.

I find it funny that compared to other IDs every Association ID (barring Shi) overall has the sinners be happier. Don dueling people, Outis being a good boss, Gregor getting cool, non monstruous arms, and overall everyone being coworkers.

Generally speaking, working for a fixer Association is stable and comfortable provided the job doesn't grind against your personal values.

this would be a pretty fun gimmick dungeon, no way that the game's code wouldn't poo poo itself trying to run it though. e: sinclair's would probably be funniest since his IDs are all about finicky resource management

anyway happy for more seven IDs, they always have rad animations and are useful. also the organization needs some redemption from outis getting powercrept and having a dogshit UT4.

also for some reason outis has like the worst animations of the bunch despite being an 000? i guess it's because she brought a cane to a sword fight

I'm reading Wuthering Heights currently and the thing is that WH Heathcliff actually is quite intelligent, it's just that he was on the streets for the initial part of his life, had a couple years of steady education and care when Mr. Earnshaw took him in, and then was deliberately cut off from any education after Mr. Earnshaw died because Hindley Earnshaw didn't like him. Cathy would go out to him working in the fields and bring her own schoolwork and try to teach him things, and he'd work hard to understand them, but he couldn't keep up because he also had to work full-time, so when he gave up he gave up completely and decided he hated books and denied Hindley's son Hareton an education as revenge and then was like 'poo poo I sympathize with Hareton, who could have done this to him (me).'

Obviously Project Moon can go pretty far with adaptations, but I expect the thing is that Limbus Heathcliff is an intelligent person who got denied a proper education and forced to deal with so many distractions he couldn't keep up, and he decided if everyone was going to assume he was a dumb brute he wasn't going to fight that anymore, he'd just break their faces. You see flashes of this in his interactions with the other Sinners, and one of the things that seems to wind him up the most is Ishmael assuming he's too stupid to understand the things she's trying to say. So I'm interpreting Seven Heathcliff as someone finally stretching his brain after a long period of intellectual atrophy and enjoying it even if it's hard.

Yeah, the one thing that comes to mind is that Heathcliff actually has a really good instinct of social/group dynamics, and how violence is used: see his reading of the G Corp guys or his wound analysis when they come to that one employee with the Apocalypse Calendar head.

How are you reading the # of coins for these two from the animations? For me Heath is looking like a 2/1/4 and Faust like a 2/3/3, but Heath's S2 could be a 2-coiner, and his S3 could be a 3.

Also, just got the HP regen node in the skill tree. Does that mean chef Ryoshu and Greg are no longer priority picks for their healing abilities anymore?

Yeah the regen node does a lot of heavy lifting once you have it, and healing becomes really nice to have instead of downright mandatory.

You'll still get a lot of work out of chef Ryo if you bring her though, you tend to pick up more damage then the talent can really heal.

Yeah he makes a real bad impression and then deals with it by getting mad and trying to murder people so that's why I'm so delighted he finally gets an ID where he's able to openly be observant and actually pretty smart. It's a better fit for him then, say, Shi Association, even if you'd think violence is more his specialty, because Shi Association demands a very specific kind of violence Heathcliff finds it very hard to adjust to.

Honestly, not sure why Shi Association hired him. Do you think Don hired him?
