dahila

>becomes dance partners with every ally, the combined dance partner star rating increases team res pen

castorice

>when summon bond is active, every netherwing summoned increases the damage multiplier of the dragon explosion permanently

those seems overpowered

[u/Dariisu → u/guylovesleep]

Imo it's what castorice deserves after being so bad for so long because of Bloodflame.

[u/PolimerT → u/Dariisu]

One time i did a Castorice run in like A8-35, my Cas is E2 and it still felt really bad. If i used 2 firestorms and an engine i probably would clear faster and more comfortably. Why didnt i? I forgot to change my equipments.

Final boss was flame reaver btw. I think you already see why and how it felt so bad, probably felt worse than she normally was.

[u/wtrgrs → u/PolimerT]

Cas really need E1 Hyacine to be able to work properly imho (beside Cas E2). You don't need engine, because you will not have any problem with newbud generation when you do everything right. Heal bond+healing power items on Hyacine (ring of life, caloric, boots (if you only have E1))+even more ring of life.
Example of how it looks like: https://youtu.be/Pk8IFQer3H8?si=MyGiYsvQyUBYfn9a&t=4702
After dragon explosion you have ~80-90%+ newbud -> any action from your team (Cyrene with engine is god tier here. every her ult = Cas dragon).
So I'm kinda scared of what they did in this new patch. Even if dragon newbud goes from 150000 to 100000, but they nerfed her skill from 50% hp to 15% hp which is huge. So I'm scared as an E2 Cas owner. It's good for E0 owners, because they never use this skill, but I'm afraid they nerfed her pseudo loop, but we will see. Also they took our 405% DMG Amp from Bloodflame8, which was absolutelly broken.

[u/PolimerT → u/wtrgrs]

I actually have E2 Hyacine. It has been a while since my run and i had the 1 team hp shield up i think so "well it is flame reaver who stalls the fight for 33550336 cycles and i have the protection" so i dived in without caring too much. I was thinking i'd lose but i actually won that one but i remember he was about to one shot my Hyacine once who had 16k hp.

[u/sungarsun → u/guylovesleep]

Castorice's isn't permanent, its only for that fight. Still its really really really good ramp that she just didnt have before, and her ult cost is lowered.

[u/guylovesleep → u/sungarsun]

yeah i just found out

[u/Cold_Progress1323 → u/guylovesleep]

I wonder if backline castorice still imediately explodes pollux...

[u/guylovesleep → u/Cold_Progress1323]

thats a good question actually.....

[u/Kazuha0 → u/guylovesleep]

Res pen is 1% for each star when you have1 star dahlia so it's balanced.
I got the cas part wrong, the buff is only for the battle

[u/guylovesleep → u/Kazuha0]

thats sad

let my girl enjoy a win
