How does everyone feel about the new ids?
Since it's been a few days now that we've had access to the ids, was curious, what's everyone's opinions about the new ids?
here's my personal opinion, just to add to the discussion
ABS Faust ("Faust is mowth ᗜ.ᗜ"):
I think she's a pretty fun burn id, and due to all her conditionals being easy to achieve due to it being stuff on herself, could see her used on non burn teams (since she can kill herself and let someone matching the team's stuff take her place) but can imagine she's mainly going to be run on burn. to me she feels kind of like a poise unit where after you meet their conditionals, most or all your skills for the rest of the fight will be at or close to max potential (obviously not the case for every poise id), and being able to dumb at min 32 burn potency on a single target can be pretty good, especially with MB ego which finally gives us same turn dark flame. which in my testing can lead to some hilarious set ups at best, or at worst just dumb a lot of burn pot on target, so dark flame in future turns has more burn to work with.
Lantern Yi Sang (my beloved):
I will state right away this might be biased, cause I like this id a lot, and it got me back into actually using rupture teams on a regular basis rather than like 1-3 times a season, and I've been using nothing but rupture since I got him. but I think he's great. definitely not a strong as Ring Sang on a rupture team. but I feel he's good enough to be a side grade to W Sang, where he can work better then W Sang based on your team, the fight and the way you play. I personally don't find one of the two stronger than the other in general, but better in certain scenarios than the other one would be. and Lantern Sang has a lot of interesting things that I don't see many people bring up in what talk I have seen of the id. like how when your ready for him to die, and start spamming his counter, not just can that help for talisman set up, but due to having 18 aggro every turn, most of the time most if not all attacks are aimed at him, which depending on how long enemy takes to kill him, gives you 1 or more turns where you can ignore clashing (unless your using skills that want to win clash like 7Faust s2/3 or 7Heath s2 or enemy is using a skill that you really need to clash, obviously, but let's you throw out some skills without worry about losing clash). and how him dying gives 8 skills worth of resources and almost always puts enemies in 15/3 range for Rodya and Meursault if your playing your rupture team well. and if enemy is already in that range, it's still a lot of rupture and count added to the stack. I think he's a great id, but there are definitely scenarios where it's better to run W Sang or even Ring Sang in his place
Reminder that these are just my opinions on these ids, and is not any less important than yours. But more importantly to mention, it's not more important than your opinions either. your opinion matters just as much as everyone else's ദ്ദി ᗜˬᗜ✧
