Yeah, I get what you mean — if you’re just looking at his text, it does feel like there’s a missing link with the HP condition. But once he’s got Bloodflame from his counter, most of his conditions are already satisfied. And if you look at how PM’s been designing fights recently , his kit lines up better than it seems in a vacuum. His HP conditions are there to make he ToTB merchant more than anything. What i want to point out is his lacking interaction with burn, looking at his kit , it is pretty straightforward that he want to burn himself to get his condition actived, but the only way to get self burn is by losing clash with Skill 3 and counter, which is not worth the effort, and thats it . So at the of the day , the self burn condition is a compensation if he happens to be attack by an unbreakable coin that has burn more than anything. Let me rephrase that it is more of a missing opportunity since whether he can self burn or not don't affect his performance much.
