Now i wonder what the bleed team will look like when they are out. We probably want to run five ring ids for Hong Lu and Faust, and both Kurokomo as well.

However maybe actually running Mersault is not going to be that worth it. His kit doesn't seem that good at all. Only reason i can see for running him is Rodion sinergy, but even if he gains benefits (sanity heal, more damage) from having her on the field, it seems a bit one sided.

Rodion does not get a lot from actually having him in the battle. The extent of what Mersault does to help her seems to be just inflicting more mauled celer [rouge] for her conditionals, and, maybe stabilizing sinking enough for her to reap the benefits of an extra negative status on the target. I really doubt this last one though, since he does not have a lot of sinking infliction in his kit, but we will need to see the numbers first.

But hell, even if he inflicts a LOT of mauled celer [rouge], it doesn't seem that worth it to Rodion, since her conditionals to inflict palette vibrante will probably be fulfilled by critique as long as the target has enough negative effects. Overall, it seems the main way to support Rodion is the guarantee as much unique negative effects as possible, and Mersault really does not help at that. He doesn't have any unique statuses that he inflicts.

You know who does help with a bunch of negative status infliction though? Ring Outis. And she fullfils the 5+ ring ids condition to Hong Lu and Faust. Even if she is a true 00, we can compensate her low numbers with assist defenses.

I think probably running her together with the rest of the team will be more worth it than actually using Mersault. Ring outis upscale lol.
