Right, so now the change actually really is just a way to get a discount on BP by purchasing the Great Value® Lunacy packs.

Tremor - Decay's description says that it interacts the same way as normal Tremor does to effects that raise or reduce Tremor Potency/Count, which implies to me that once Oufi Heath swaps it over, you can keep Decay going with normal +Tremor Count infliction and he doesn't necessarily need to be constantly flipping it over to keep it up.

Also, technically, this could mean that, once it's on it, assuming that there is some regular Tremor added, not only will Tremor Burst apply twice for extra stagger raising, Rose Rodion could get 40% more damage from her passive activating on her S3, since it bursts twice already and this would make it burst four times.

edit: oh also, it's -1 Defense Level for every 4 Potency. At 99 Potency, that's 24 Def Level Down.

they should just make tremor do this normally rather than tie it to a specific ID

also according to reddit all tremor gen after it goes decay will be decay unless the stack hits 0 so double-burst is a no go, no fun allowed

anyway while the potential 24 def down is funny this seems like one of those "good on paper alright in practice" things.

e: that said it's at least a niche and definitely a step up from tremor's previous ideal use of "fighting steam transport machine specifically and nowhere else"

It's wild how Bleed and Poise and Burn get gifts that make even bad units usable, and then you have Charge's which is like "hey, you get 2 Damage Up on turn 1 and 3 Offense Up if you use at least 12 charge (cause only "waste all charge" can even use up more than 15 charge) and you need the other Tier IV gift if you want more Offense for those. Like Rupture at least is "can sacrifice potency to keep count", Tremor gives you 1 free Stagger and fragile and Sinking gets back some used count.

Yeah, it stands out because with all the support other types have gotten charge has been downgraded to merely extremely good rather than a million miles ahead of everything else. This is because of when they were made but it's still weird nowadays that every fusion gift is at least somewhat absurd except Charge which is just a weird conditional damage boost.

e: Rupture's gifts are fun because with enough of them you can make a working(albeit not great) rupture team without a single real rupture ID. Happened to me once and was pretty funny.

I'll be honest that I wrote that because I did my MDH with Charge and had to quit at Kim cause I just. Wasn't doing damage. Because I fused a lot of gifts trying to get the last ones I needed (I got Downpour, only Red Gossy and Fragments left) so I lost a lot of extra benefits.

Ironically Employee Card/Thunderbranch and CV/Night Googles are the real Tier IV gifts for charge since they give you a shitton of charge and then let you use all that extra charge to increase offense and power.

fully-upgraded Employee Card is cracked I agree. Nebulizer is also arguably better than the Poise fusion gift rn due to how pride-heavy the poise team is

On the other hand Lucky Pouch (poise fusion gift) makes every Skill 3 roll ridiculously high (Cinqlair can go for something like 35-38) alongside it's poise generating effect which in a blade lineage team isn't really that much worse than Nebulizer, let alone running both of them at the same time. But yeah, the Bleed fusion gift is absolutely ridiculous :unsmigghh:

Oh yeah, Nebulizer and Lucky Pouch with the Boy's Love Crew is a disgusting (positive) combination. But I'd put Bloody Rag above it for the sole reason it makes NFaust feel like it's Season 1 again.

Also complaining always works, did a Burn run (also disgusting) where I got to fuse Red Gossypium, and the next Bleed run had Piece of Relationship on a shop, so I have a full compedium before Season 4 :toot: Hope thay won't clear it up when changing MD. Also I should have done more Normal runs, I basically barely did half the Starlight tree, cause I bought the higher chance and +1 starting gift nodes for my objective. Still have 1000 boxes though.

I forgot Nebulizer can be upgraded! There is so much unnecessary stuff to make the Yaoi team even stronger than it already is, too bad that the event is gone now, I missed being able to crit 100% of the times with Kim's hat

I think I'm doing something terribly wrong because I can't seem to find Lunar Memory :smith: I saw it once at the beginning of the past season and after that it completely disappeared, and I do quite a bit of MD runs.

Upgraded nebulizer starts generating count and works on res instead of a.res, it's pretty funny

The rarest gifts are really rare so you're likely just unlucky.

e: oh base also generates count, upgrades do take the a.res requirement away though. any 2 pride skills gives everyone free poise and you get a free +5/+5 each wave

Yeah, Lunar Memory is just That Rare, I was lucky to see it even once. Honestly I should have gone for shop Starlight upgrades to let you refresh/buy more rather than chance increase, didn't feel much of a difference. At least for most of the Tier IV gifts you can fuse 3 Tier III's of the same Sin to guarantee them since Tier III are much, much easier to find. Exceptions being Burn (we lost Red Tassel so there's only 2 Wrath gifts) and Bleed (We only have 1 Tier III Lust gift anyways, even with the event one), Faith and Piece of Relationship (both being general so you gotta fuse 3 T3 and pray). Well, and NDA + Ancient Effigy, but besides being hard Abno events they seem to be common enough.

The ticket doesn't expire, so if you're burning it for extra shards, wait until the new season drops because if you do it now, it's getting cut in half.

It doesn’t expire when the season changes so you can use it in season 4 for more shards.

I do think Outis and Heathcliff both getting Bound King makes a lot of sense the more I look at it.

Since their stories are both about the long journey and then return home bound by fate and love, family and pain.

Also Penelope/Cathy as their reason for fighting on.

Meursault isn't in the Öufi uniform and he's wielding a nailed up baseball bat instead of their polearm/amputation weapon, dude is screaming Syndicate.
E: He's probably one of those rabbit head mobs throughout the trailer, same bat weapon and there seems to be a bunny ear in each of Meursault's arts.
