i swear certain BBS youtubers need to stop saying that every single character with flurry/poise is viable for pvp or might be one of the top tier units.
pvp is a shit show right now when it comes right down to it and it’s created a situation in which there are like, 6 or 7 characters who are actually competitively viable across the board but like let’s be real, you need nnoitra.
lilinette isn’t going to hack it in pvp. i know it’s not like expressly written in the game where people can easily see it, but common pve killers like soul reaper, hollow, and arrancar are a 20% damage boost whereas captain killer and espada killer are 40% damage boost.
on top of that she has ranged collision on her nad string. ranged collision deals inconsistent damage, which means she’s not going to be doing as much damage as a melee flurry character does.
yes, she has a heal. unfortunately, VL ichigo exists as an option to shut her heal down. on top of it, the animation on her heal seems pretty long, and that might get her into some serious trouble when pvp is full of characters who have poise, which means her heal won’t stagger them, and she might end up in a position where she’s locked into the animation too long and gets whacked for it.
on top of all of that, she has no status ailments. status ailments right now are kind of important in pvp and are why a unit like nnoitra is more consistent in killing than VL ichigo is. if you’re running poise/flurry units in pvp, you’re likely using chappys on them, zeroing your spiritual pressure in the process. this kills 99% of the damage your special does, making a special from someone like VL ichigo basically useless if he’s the one who hits it.
on the flip side, characters like kenpachi and nnoitra proc weaken and paralysis respectively. that means getting the soul bomb is a victory for them the majority of the time as kenpachi’s weakening destroys defense and attack while nnoitra’s paralysis locks characters into place (and as most of us have probably experienced, set up for the stun lock, where nnoitra will continuously nab the soul bomb and continue to paralyze).
lilinette is an excellent pve unit, no doubt about that, but she’s not going to be truly competitive in pvp. she’s an option if you have no better characters, but she’s still going to have trouble standing up to the current meta even if they don’t have killer on her.
When I was little, I dropped my shoe into a river. When I tried to get it back, I fell in. I thought I would drown, but the river carried me to the shore. The river’s name was Kohaku.
I made a series of bnha portraits back in December 2017, and I have finally gotten around to make one for Todoroki as well. You can find them on my inprnt store https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/cccrystalclear/
A lot of kids on tumblr could not emotionally survive MySpace where you would literally rank your friends right out in public. Those were some wild times.
Aren’t all the good stories
always like this?
Passed from one mouth to another
with one or two things melting into the tongues
of those who preach the sanctified word.
Forever lost,
