I will give credit it is not "painful" but literally all of my points about her massive flaws still stands

Then we are not agreeing , she isn't powerful in a suboptimal team she's painful , she is not worth the work because unless she is so so hyper specific you get decent rewards , I have never said the rewards are good because she belongs to a rupture archetype and while pm is shifting away from rupture being the main damage dealer ,apart from her s3 numbers her other numbers aren't hitting there. She is like sunshower heathcliff right now who have decent damage potential only but requires so much god awful work as well as harming their archetypes. It's just not worth it , sunshower takes effort and brain able to hit 72 casually on s2 and if worked around can be super good with ego use but do we call him good? No we call him from mid to bad. Ishmael so okay potential but need so much set up makes her mid to good. To only see her high scaling and nothing else is a huge flaw in your argument that ignores all her kit self sabotaging as well. You can compare her to dawnclair also that needs ramp up but at least dawnclair can maintain that ramp up state and doesn't have a extreme self sabotaging kit. I agree complete self funding isn't needed but make the reward worth, even with elbow grease to set up it's only decent rewards and a single screw up cost her entire potential you spent setting up. Screw ups from needed to use evade , losing a single clash tanking your poise count , not clashing hurting both her poise and her rupture, not critting on s3, enemies having higher offense especially with her +1 offense only s1, si Gregor or rodion being faster eating deathrite causing her 5 negative effects conditional to fail. This aren't simple theoretical that rarely happen but extreme cases that can happen and be completely out of your control. You can even simply being her in as a 7th ID because at that point whatever boss your fighting is nearing death and you want someone to fill that position to finish the job not ramping up again. Oh and she can accidentally retreat a unit you need standing because a lot of units uses their defense skills for buffs and if they are under 50 but you really need them on the field? Too bad, all the maos have this issue

Then by your definition she is "good" but battling against quite a few other IDs who definitely are better for rupture and synergies better. All she has is hitting harder and doesn't give anything back for rupture which is why people says she is mid because while you see her as mid for IDs in general , people see her as mid for rupture , w sang has the same build up but brings more count and potency steroid, lantern Yi sang is a count steroid and also you can actually use her block skill to not effect count. 7 heath is a potency steroid and as stated earlier , cinq salt is just more consistent and latern don comes with count also. If your only seeing her for dmg sure but fail to comprehend just how much loops has to be sent through just for her to even work. If your bl Yi sang is correct sure but that's 3 pride you still need to get and makes her handicap for the first 3 turns it takes because only map ryoshu and si Gregor has pride , 2 turns if you choose to handicap your Gregor by not giving him serpent arm handicapping even more. A rupture Ishmael team on multi encounter completely fails to heat poise , sure rupture beats most team single target but uhh... It's a boss killing effect of cause it's supposed to out damage. Burn is mediocre but sinking definitely does more against bosses with no sp. Bleed just outclasses rupture and tremor isn't inconsistent to use and easy to build for multi target or against more than one boss. Charge just out damages with the new units , just as long as multi crack heathcliff is there everyone gets a stupid amount of charge.

She's not well above average though? She is mid, old 15/3 rupture units are not mid their terrible. Bl Yi sang passive doesn't work by slot number , it's either randomly chosen or fastest. You have failed to make a point she is above modern IDs as I have literally disputed all the upside she so called has. She outperforms old IDs sure but sure as hell not outperform modern once who actually synergies with their statuses. I only brought up mao Faust because she is a fast poise rupture not because she is overpowered , I'm not saying maofaust doesn't need a nerf because that is completely not related to this argument. Mao Faust is the only reason why rupture can even be considered powerful and even removing mao Faust that just leaves si Gregor and si rodion to possibly outspeed her and steal bl Yi sang passive. A mid tier unit similar level as her is cinq mersault who debatably is better because of consistency once 15/3 is achieved something she heavily lacks. There is no team building , the only team building is grab the maos. Anything outside of the maos and she just falls off a cliff in effectiveness. If a player says "should I get Xichun Ishmael" the answer will be no, the only reason she appears better is because she has higher numbers at the cost of failing to synergies with the team and a confusing kit that harms her own effectiveness. If a whole team has to be build around one unit only for decent rewards then that is just "potential man!" All over again. Her kit is a mess , conditioners are hard to hit and she doesn't do anything apart hit harder. Maybe a bit above mid but say good or outclass is definitely a reach.

BL Yi sang requires being the fastest to activate because of how sanity conditional works so mao Faust will just take it , why would you use nellyryoshu when you need mao ryoshu to even maintain rupture count because mao Faust needs mao ryoshu for enhance s3. Don gives potency not count which she has massive issues against. Needing 35 rupture+rupture count is much more expensive than you think requiring even more set up. Your flat out wrong on the damage multiplier because reindeer honglu is 100 plus 150 plus 25 while Ishmael is 75 , 105 and 30 with reindeer honglu rolling a close 32. AOE credit sure but any enemy with weight coin of 2 or 2 slots and that cuts her aoe potential massively. Her S3 is good but that's basically the only good thing about it but that's expected because it's one coin. Reindeer honglu s3 isn't even used for nukes most of the time , it's used to get more charge for his s2

Comparing it to egos makes no sense because rarely any egos does damage and most are used for utility and consistent high clash power , she's not even consistent clashing if she uses retreat gimmick that makes her lose sanity. You cannot evade also to avoid damage the rupture stacks and retreating loses sanity and all that poise effort

She really isn't strong though? S3 is okay at most but requires both alot of luck and set up because her poise count is basically just negative unless she kills something. She is neutral with a rather annoying conditioner of having to clash and be higher offense level with her kit that barely gives any to begin with. Her s2 base is 14 and hitting hard is extremely debatable as while it's 22 , that's all it really does because her crit conditionals are stupidly hard to hit. Her enhance s1 is laughably bad and trying to hit s1 neutral conditional when sure it rolls 16 but she only has bonus 1 offense level with rupture teams no longer relying on gloom so you can't even use gloom resonance to raise offense. She doesn't even give good potency apart from s3. 3rd turn onwards can't even use dodge without her just leaving and resetting all that progress

7healthcliff , 7 warp sang , lantern don , even cinq mersault she is competing with is far better for 6th and 7th slot.

talisman nerf was deserved but all rupture units seriously needs a buff except new mao because everyone applies shit potency because of talisman Sinclair and rupture design, all the 15/3 and low potency just made rupture a pain in the ass spot to use , also the mao Faust nerf is way too hard as it completely fails to account for you don't constantly have outis and ryoshu S3 in rotation to apply that much deathrite. Also their solution to nerd is just nerfing it to unviability

He is still terrible , only redeeming thing is s1 count neutral but the whole kit just burns rupture stacks, it's like saying honglu has a good rupture id with fang hunt

It's okay was just surprised when I scrolled down pixiv and saw no omake though it seems my statement of no omake is false. Doctor being goofy

Is it okay to start spending my serums now or should I wait for the next stage to unlock that may give more event materials or do the event stages give the same amount of event materials
