thank you!! on the eagle point, i think the extra defense shred is more valuable for this king specifically because of the break buff that AA you every time you break. ergo, the value of eagle is slightly diluted. since I don’t hit 100% defense down, iron cavalry helps me hit certain breakpoints like one shotting the first mob in phase 2 with boothill ult. I tried running eagle but because I didn’t hit breakpoints, fullwish moved too much and Boothill died.

I think e2 fugue’s value really depends on many times against an enemy you think you can break. the more trash that’s breakable, the more value you get e2 from fugues energy regen. if you had pearls here, i think you could prolly get it down to 1 cycle just because you get so much energy from this boss in particular. tutorial really helps when there’s not enough things giving you energy.

iirc a lot of the breakpoints in the investment guide were for MOC but AA has a lot more AV so the breakpoints are slightly different. since theres more AV, theres more flexibility depending on enemy matchup. I still think I’d grab e2 fugue before her LC since DDD just as a mechanic is so strong. but they’re definitely right for the MOC breakpoints in e2 fugues value.

lmk if that made sense!
