what if Wukong and Liu ever reunited what a disaster that would be i have to draw it

[swk-mac]

Tbh, if we're going with the idea of Macaque literally being born from Wukong's shadow...how did you think his subjects reacted? (If he was king at the time-)

Wukong: Guys, may I introduce, the newest member of my family...Liu'er Mihou! I made him myself! >:D

General Beng: You...made the cub?

Marshall Ma: You didn't look pregnant the last time I saw you? :0

General Ba: Congratulations on your child my king!

Marshall Liu: Who's the other parent?

Wukong: He's not my son you idiots! (affectionate). He's my little bro :3

General Beng: Weren't you born from a fucking rock-?

General Liu:

Hi anoon, ooh it reminds me of an AU I saw here on tumblr, I liked it too yes

I think it would be like you mentioned, the subjects trying to understand how Wukong got his little brother but giving him congrats at the end, General Liu still trying to process the situation waa, General Beng too, he thinking: he made him with rocks? With clay? How?

And I feel Macaque, after getting introduced and with the gazes of all his subjects on him, he would be very shy, it feels like he's the shy little brother of them both.

Thinking of writing a fic of a weird...combination of things.

Basically General Liu being the Six-Eared Macaque but not our Macaque. An argument in the wrong place with Sun Wukong means that all of Wukong’s dark qualities form into our Macaque who also takes some cues from Liu’s appearance.

It’s weird and I’m not sure how to word it.

Edit: @takoyani was helpful enough to describe it as ‘like if TKO from OK KO looked like Fink or Venomous instead of KO’

Miss Mossberg 590 has been my very favorite T-Doll for a long time. I remember when I was new to the game, I was looking around at the Dolls I’d collected thinking “these designs are cute and all, but none of them have really grabbed me yet” - not the same way that Tamamo and Jalter did in FGO. 

Then I looked at the wiki, and saw 590, and fell in love at first sight, the fallout of which you can still find on my main blog because whoops!

But that was when the game was new. I’ve dreaded for a long time the release of another Doll that might maybe have the same level of appeal. Events would go on, new dolls would come out, but M590′s simple earnest charm and cute little smile was never challenged for supremacy.

Until.

Oh no.

While I’m thinking about it, some math and thoughts about General Liu.

Liu is effectively a DPS doll without a skill cooldown. Her base stats are excellent for this - 139 FP and 40 ROF are well above average by early GFL standards are still hold up well in modern content, and she’s more than accurate enough for her main damage to be reliable even at night. 

The active component of her skill shifts her stats around a little depending on her focus; rear-focus gives her effective stats of 36 RoF, 166-ish FP, while vanguard focus gives her only 125 FP but a very impressive 48 RoF. Neither of these statlines are really all that good on their face, though. Liu’s real damage potential comes from the passive component of her skill, which spawns in a number of reinforcements behind the echelon that have a shadow of Liu’s own stats. 

At max level, Liu’s passive skill summons 9 additional dummy links, each of which have 35% of her FP, 60% of her RoF, and 40% of her accuracy. The loss of accuracy is actually very painful for her, but we’ll talk about that later; for now I just want to focus on her actual damage potential. 

Based on some KR footage I found, Liu’s reinforcements take about 4 seconds to arrive and begin shooting, so she effectively has a 4-second initial cooldown but infinite uptime. We can try to compare her damage ability to other RFs we’re more familiar with by figuring out what “percentage” of Liu’s own innate damage her reinforcements are capable of dealing. So -- if Liu herself has 166 FP and 36 RoF, at 5x dummy links she deals 830 damage per volley with 0.72 volleys per second, for an effective DPS rating of 597 - just barely shy of 600 damage per second.

(Liu does way more damage than this in practice - this isn’t accounting for fairies/formation buffs or critical damage. But because her reinforcements also receive these benefits and scale exactly identically with Liu herself, ignoring them makes the math simpler.)

Each of Liu’s reinforcement dummies deals 35% of her FP (58) and fires with 60% of her RoF (21). Each one has an individual DPS rating of 24.36 - absolutely tiny! - but since there are nine of them, they contribute a total of about 219 DPS overall. Comparing that to her base DPS, they’re effectively increasing her damage by about 35%. 

That probably sounds pretty weak. M14 - the benchmark for Good DPS Rifle - increases her damage by 65% - almost double Liu’s effective boost - and has a critical damage steroid on top of that. Seems like she should outperform Liu by miles. So how come in this footage, Liu is clearly keeping up with, and even outdamaging M14 MOD? 

There are a couple of reasons I can think of for Liu to outperform her. Firstly, M14′s buff isn’t active all of the time. In a long fight like this one, M14′s damage steroid is only active 62% of the time, so her damage output on average is only 40% higher than if she didn’t activate her skill at all. Liu’s reinforcements don’t improve her damage as much, but once they’ve joined the fight, they’re there to stay (mortars and other AOE damage notwithstanding). 

Skill uptime by itself does explain why their performance is so much closer; M14′s base stats are also considerably worse (her base DPS rating is only 488, 19% lower than Liu’s), so even with the additional critical damage her Mod skill offers, it makes sense that their performance would be very similar. 

That said, Liu’s skill is very unique and particular in its function, and just because their performance is similar in a prolonged battle against a large number of targets doesn’t mean they can be used interchangeably with one another. M14 and other dolls like her deal substantial burst damage during their skill duration, which allows them to deal with powerful enemies more quickly - but makes her vulnerable in the event that she can’t kill every threat before her skill runs out. Liu won’t be able to deal as much damage quite as rapidly, which may make her vulnerable against powerful enemies like Hydras or Doppels that need to be killed as fast as possible - but her performance is much more stable and she won’t suffer from any downtime, making her easier to use in very long fights. Since Liu’s additional damage comes from extra shots and not a strict stat buff, she’s also much better at dealing with large groups of enemies, and is less likely to waste damage via overkill. Also. Liu’s Vanguard Focus mode actually improves her DPS slightly and can give her a strategic niche, in situations where frontline targeting would be preferred over backline targeting. 

As downsides, Liu will deal substantially less damage against heavily armored targets unless her AP completely shreds the enemy’s armor - any damage reduction will effectively apply to her twice or even three times as often as other rifles. Additionally, nighttime accuracy is a serious problem for her. Her reinforcements only have a base accuracy of 35 - enough to function effectively during the day, but incredibly inconsistent at night, particularly against crowds of infantry like you might otherwise be tempted to use her for. She’ll perform just fine against standard 0-EVA armored enemies, but her Commander should take care before fielding her against endgame-level Paradeus and other elite challenges where she’s more likely to lose damage compared to a single very accurate rifle like R93 or SKS.
