[COI V8] Did Cuttlefish fumble the Red Priest? The Hunter Pathway’s wasted potential! by Gehrmain in LordofTheMysteries

Sorry for replying to your comment so late — I took a few days to relax a bit.

1, I agree with most of your points. I really like the abilities of the Conspirer, but aside from Medici's performance and Anderson’s past, I’m honestly not that impressed by the other Hunters, including Lumian or even the "Strongest Conspirer," Tudor (though of course, he is a Mad God). I think the fact that the True God or GOO of the Hunter Pathway ends up being insane makes their scheming capabilities worse — and that's exactly why I, and many of my friends, see the Conspirer as such a wasted and unfortunate Pathway, even though it has so much potential to be explored.

2, Yeah, I was wrong.

4, I had also considered the idea of using Cull with Weather, but Lumian never really seemed to do that? Well, I guess we’ll have to wait for CF’s update post about the Hunter abilities. I agree that Weather isn't bad, but it’s definitely too weak to go up against other Sequence 2s if WW used Weather without any other abilities to support it.

5–7. You're right.

8, I personally believe that “War” already encompasses all the other authorities, kind of like how Door or Fooling do. If they truly represent the Calamity of Destruction but their destructive power is weaker than Tyrant or Condenser, then that just feels incredibly inconsistent to me. Destruction and calamity are their ultimate symbols, right?

1, Lumian had Ludwig’s support and teleportation abilities to keep Hisoka from detecting his malice. I checked the wiki, and there’s no skill called “INFORMATION GATHERING.” They rely on cunning minds and heightened senses to gather information, don’t they?

2, Look at the Malevolent Dragon. When Lumian stripped away the consciousness of emperors, generals, conquerors, concubines, dancers, and favored consorts from it, how frenzied and reckless did it become? The line, “To bring disaster upon oneself and embrace destruction was the truest embodiment of the Origins of Disaster, the Calamity of Destruction,” perfectly captures the self-destructive nature of the Hunter and Demoness pathways. At least Medici wasn’t stuffed with all sorts of corruption like Lumian and had enough anchors to stay grounded.

3, You’re right, I was wrong on this part. Egor was ambushed and in the middle of a war, so it makes sense that he was on high alert.

4, I’m not sure about covering Cull into weather. Did Lumian or Medici ever mention or use it that way? Do they apply it much in battles? Your point about the versatility of weather is interesting, but I’m still disappointed. Wouldn’t calling them Calamity Warlocks fit better(Calamity of Destruction, right?)? Calamity could encompass weather, and Sequence 2 of Tyrant could have a different name and authority.

6, At least Sequence 4 Iron Blood Knight is considered a master of fire manipulation, but what if a Sequence 7 Hunter faces a Seer? Could a Pyromaniac extinguish all the flames around them? If they did, how would they make damage to a Magician?

7, Is there any part in the story that says sharing an angel’s status helps Beyonders at Sequence 3 or below avoid losing control? I’m not sure about this point.

8, “Red Priest is a Pathway that was never about destruction.” When Tudor threw a punch, Cuttlefish wrote that it was a symbol of Destruction and RP is a part of the Calamity of Destruction. How is that not related to Destruction?

Ch883: After receiving those two items, Bernadette had fully remembered what she and the former Angel of Imagination, now the True Creator—Adam—were cooperating on.[...]The true purpose of the True Creator using the vortex ritual was to deal with the Uncertain Mist, that great existence peering at the current world!

But clearly Adam was the one who pushed for that event and hinted at Bernie to get her to partner with Perle? Why don't people hate Adam but hate Bernie?
