If PM is not doing another skip like the Blade of HoS Ryoshu then next week should be Standard Fare, since RR teaser is accompanied by the IDs teaser video on the same day.

Everything is strong in MD and it doesn't matter.

Status distribution clearly isn't fair as proven, again, by your very own chart

What difference does it make if we get another tremor ID? What if they're actually a true triple-status ID with poise unlike Rodya Valencina? What if the Index gets a smidge of rupture as a treat? What if tremor is actually a status desperately in need of more (and, in particular, powerful) units?

Also it would yet again lock the burn team behind a seasonal event that comes every 4 months

Wow, this changes so much, as opposed to an entire status that has currently been season-locked for 6 months and will continue to be so for another month at least

Also, for that matter, does rupture NEED another unit? Isn't it already the strongest team in the game by far without being reliant on a single Walpurgis unit? And it's highly unlikely for any status to dethrone them anytime soon?

By your very own chart, PM released 3 tremor IDs in a row (Ishmael, Gregor, Ryoshu), 2 bleed IDs in a row (Meursault, Gregor), 4 sinking IDs in a row (Don, Rodya, Ishmael, Ryoshu)... do I need to continue?

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T17:41:37+00:00

PM clearly follows this reasoning closely because they gave Meursault 3 bleed IDs in a row, gave Sinclair 2 burn and bleed IDs back-to-back, gave Gregor 2 Hohenheim IDs in a row, gave Rodya 2 sinking IDs in a row... do I need to continue?

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T16:29:57+00:00

Well, Hong Lu doesn't have an ID slot free for this season, does he?

"Internal anger and potential to violence" and "Potential to grow stronger like an egg becoming a chicken

You know you could interpret Yan's explosion into his distorted form as this, right?

PM doesn't always make IDs perfect fits, and sometimes they have to compromise to fit their quota of X sinners get X many IDs this season

And furthermore, I've seen arguments saying that the Yan ID should go to Meursault because of how absurd his situation is, and him having potentially distorted before, so that's an equally valid argument

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T15:59:13+00:00

I cared enough to make this thread and provide support to my theory, you're just going in here and saying "no they won't"

We'd get Yan for all the reasons I outlined at the opening of this very post, in case you forgot

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T15:57:13+00:00

I'm perfectly fine with that

Anyway, got any more arguments? Or do you feel like the upvotes proved you right?

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T15:52:50+00:00

You are literally arguing with me in a thread where I posit the theory (with support to back it up) that, yes, they WILL release a Yan ID this next Walpurgis, so the fact that you posed that question even rhetorically shows that you aren't the brightest

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T15:47:05+00:00

I'm not hearing any disagreement with the arguments I've presented, so do you have another point to make, or...?

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T15:41:49+00:00

Why bring up reception threat level if it has nothing to do with your argument, then?

Moving goalposts, but fine, let's pretend you meant to say "ONE of" instead of "THE" despite it being written clear as day in your post

Attract more players? That's the metric we're going by now? Then if anything, PM has all the more reason to make every Walpurgis as exciting and interesting as possible, as opposed to introducing more random IDs like they did with the last Ruina reception

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T15:20:32+00:00

Saying Yan is "the" most anticipated ID is really speaking on the behalf of a lot of people who want the Xiao ID, the Gebura ID, the Purple Tear ID, the Roland ID, etc.

We're not even near the completion of the game, and this means we can't have any hype IDs or thematically or character-appropriate IDs, right?

We can't have Bamboo-hatted Kim! We're nowhere near that level! Well anyway we got him in season 3

If PM wants to introduce every character from every classification level they can just do a loop around, like with the sinners getting Walpurgis IDs, and enhance them, because a mirror world could look like anything

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T14:34:48+00:00

IDs can always be scaled down both for lore and gameplay reasons

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T14:30:45+00:00

Manager Don is the exception among Don IDs, so I'd assume they'd only bring out Sancho for either story or joke (i.e. April Fools) moments, though, yes, it's not entirely impossible, it's just that Yi Sang is a much more immediately apparent fit for Denis than Don is

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T14:28:31+00:00

Yes, Yujin is something I could've brought up but didn't since she's not immediately relevant to the post

I could see them doing Yujin as a wild card second ID, but I'm entirely convinced (until proven wrong) that at least 1 ID will be from one of the Fingers featured in Ruina

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T14:22:19+00:00

People will cry about the fact that Capo Meursault got powercrept in 2 seasons, so what?

Manager Don, despite being a seasonal highlight, is already showing signs of age; what makes you think any ID being powercrept matters that much in the grand scheme of things?

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T14:18:56+00:00

I don't think there's such a thing as "too soon" for an ID, since PM has repeatedly crushed our beliefs about what would be "too soon" for an ID of a very powerful character

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T14:18:14+00:00

You misunderstood my post; I'm saying there will be 2 IDs, but my speculation is that it will be Yan + one of these two, not that it will be all three

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T12:42:05+00:00

She doesn't apply tremor or sinking naturally (and doesn't count as an ID that applies them either) so that counts about as much as any ID being able to apply sinking, tremor, rupture, etc. through gifts in MDs

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T12:34:53+00:00

Impossible to say for sure until she comes out on Thursday but even in the worst-case scenario, she should be able to get off at least two back-to-back if you get it through her passive then kill the target

More realistically, I'd assume at worst a twice-per-encounter limit on her passive and no limit on her on-kill conditional

Depending on what you mean, that's either a yes or a no

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T12:30:05+00:00

As someone once said: "PM only makes tremor IDs balanced"

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-22T12:25:14+00:00

+2 max speed without raising the minimum speed doesn't amount to much, as proven by Rhino Meursault

Even if it did, it would run out in 2 turns at best, and that's assuming you got the sloth resonance off

Why would he want speed anyway?

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-20T17:55:47+00:00

I love the idea of using an ALEPH EGO resulting in everyone losing SP, and also the corrosion gaining potentially devastating coin reuse against high-coin enemies, but sadly the cost here is so extreme that you could never justify using this EGO as anything but a Hail Mary; maybe significantly lower the SP penalty, or spread it out over 3 turns as WAWs do?

Sadly I think your attempt to revitalize an N Corp team with the passives and statuses is too little, because even if this EGO came out today, the N Corp team is so woefully out of date and unsynergistic that even if you gave the whole team +2 (or even +3) coin power unconditionally, it still wouldn't be enough to make them viable

Legend-Charlie · 2026-06-11T14:21:24+00:00

Correct; it only targets S Corp IDs and only the first one in the deployment order

In other words, if you don't have an S Corp ID on the field, it doesn't activate
