Hey fellow arsonists.

tl:dr at the bottom for the <Mechanical Amalgams>

​

With the upcoming depressed boi i thought about combinig the 2 mediocre stats bleed and burn for a hybrid team. Naturally depressed boi will the the ace of this team. While we arent in the known about his dmg numbers yet lets still look at his kit :

​

N Corp Sinclair 000:

We can see that he has a lot of coin attacks and Burn on hits or tails in his skills. His skills also decrease his SP which makes the coin hit tails more often which is only good if sanity is low.

A lot of people speculate N Sinclair will be the first negative coin oriented identity due to his Egos already having negative coin power and... you know him looking really in pain in all his N Corp art. For now i will assume him to be a negative coin power identity.

​

From other Burn identites we can speculate how much his Burn skills should do.

• S1 Burn 2-3
• S2 Burn 1 for everything in there or else he would be bonkers to do 6 Burn with Burn Count on a S2.
• S3 Burn 3

Now lets look at his Ego [Lifetime Stew] :

​

• A burn Ego with negative coin value. Perfect! It can heal, give Resource Amp and inflicts Burn on enemies and only has upsides even with indiscriminate targets. The Corrupted EGO isnt bad but if your team is low on HP then that will hurt. So lets try not to corrode german boi.
• The real gem is the passive. 1Burn on HIT. This basically DOUBLES sad bois Burn because he has a lot of coins. No doubt this Ego will be nr.1 priority to use asap.

With N Corp Sinclair as the core of this team with Burn and Bleed we need status inflicters:

From the 3 Burn identites besides sad boi we have:

1. fabulous Hong-Lu 00
2. daddy Gregor 00
3. Mr. Salt 00

Hong Lu is the weakest dmg dealer and Burn afflicter. His only job is to get Burn Count on the enemies but Mr.Salt, sad boi S2 and Ego can do that just as well. So we will take Liu Gregor and Liu Meursault as sidekicks.

​

The strategy is to make sad boi even more sad BUT NOT TOO SAD. I REPEAT. DO NOT BULLY SAD BOI TOO MUCH OR HE WILL FINISH THIS FIGHT AS LONE SURVIVOR.

​

For that we need an emotional support simp animal*... N Corp Faust

Simp Faust has GODLIKE sysergy with sad boi, great damage, Bleed, Nails and most importantly SP regen for sad boi!

​

So far we have 2 Burn, 1 Bleed and 1 Hybrid identities. With 4/5 Team members ready we look at our next target that does bleed. Ryoshu. But not Event Chef Ryoshu. Its Kurokumo Ryoshu. Why?

Chef Ryoshu has better dmg and utility than Kuro Ryoshu that is true. But we are missing the Gluttony for sad boi Ego. And Kuro Ryoshu generates Pride which she needs for her 4rd Flame Ego aswell. So in order to make the team more efficient we will take a slight decrease in dmg.

Kuro Ryoshu also does decent dmg, applies Bleed and can use EGO resources to Burn enemies if needed with Ego (her base ego afflicts 6 Burn and 1 Fragile for only 4 ego resources.

​

tl:dr Burn/Bleed Hybrid Team:

1. Liu Meursault
2. Liu Gregor
3. The One Who Shall Grip Sinclair Ego [Lifetime Stew]
4. The One Who Grips Faust
5. Kurokumo Wakashu Ryoshu Ego [4th Match Flame]

Edit: As for benched Units:

1. N Heat for Nails or LCB if N Sinc has less than 128 Max HP
2. N Don blunt on Sinclaire seems good
3. R Corp Ishmael 10% Blunt on lowest Sp
4. LCCB Rodion 20%dmg on highest Hp if enemy used defense
5. Seven Outis 10%dmg if weak to dmg type
6. Seven Yi Sang Max Hp gets 1 clash power
7. Liu Hong Lu for Burn count or Ting for 20%dmg on highest SP
