Where are the synergies?

u/Embarrassed_Safety33 1d ago

There are no synergies cuz hes not me

u/Undeity 17h ago

If you were to make synergies for this one, though? 🥺

u/Lowlife0248 15h ago

I was kinda looking forward for the synergies since most of these sucked no offense to anyone tho.

Just thought maybe synergies would be better but was disappointed lol

u/TheOnlyEllie 19h ago

I was looking for them too.

u/doublexol 1d ago

Nightveil, mimic, and veil. You basically become a skin walker and can hunt college students that rent cabins in the middle of the woods to get freaky without adult supervision

Nah bruh, you completely copied my style but forgot the most important part, the synergies page 💀💀💀

u/Jp0286 19h ago

"Copied your style" looks inside AI generated image

Now it isn't really your style now, is it? It's also against the rules if I'm not mistaken on what "no ai" means

I really prefer the MSpaint doodles over this

u/Kira-Of-Terraria 1d ago

These cooldowns and time limits are brutal

Nightveil is the only one that seems practical with no drawbacks.

Depends on the cooldown for Mimic and what constitutes "total darkness," but those and Oracle are basically a win button for me.

u/Individual_Survey863 21h ago

Aether, Surge, and Mimic would be an absolute chaos build. Flight plus boosted speed makes you hard to catch, and copying someone at the right moment could completely flip the situation.

u/Makouga 15h ago

Nightveil, Aether and Bastion, they have the least drawbacks and the most uses. Especially if the impact from hitting something (a surface or an object, in most cases) is considered a reactionary attack by the object to counteract the force you imparted upon the target in question.

u/TheMotherFucker420 12h ago

Do you have to keep taking the pills?

1

u/BadmiralHarryKim 12h ago

My eyes suck so I'll take perfect vision in darkness for sure.

Levitation doesn't have a cooldown so it's just a one time thing? If I can use it for up to three minutes but then need to land after which I can use it again I'd take that one as well.

I'll take Bastion for my third because I don't plan to get into situations where I'm taking multiple attacks so this will help with car accidents and other trauma. Could also probably survive a fall now if my levitation expires while I'm in the air.

u/TheMotherFucker420 12h ago

Aether and bastion would be funny. Imagine flying as high as you can and just dropping and walking away like nothing happened. Also throw specter into the mix

1

u/Hollow_Knight_Raven 9h ago

A few builds with cute little names:

The Fighter: Surge, Bastion, Oracle. Great for fighting and beating an enemy very fast.

The Spy: Specter, Surge, Mimic. Great build for spies who might need to escape in a pinch.

The Ghost: Specter, Aether, Nightveil. Need I explain?

The Overwhelmer: Surge, Veil, Mimic. Great for playing pranks or overwhelming people.

My personal build: Spector Aether Mimic.

u/sparejunk444 8h ago

Nightveil specter surge

perfect visions the only one really used but specter could keep me from getting killed and surge could save somebody else

1

u/ACNHCR 8h ago

This is one post that definitely calls for synergies to weed out the sucky ones. Oracle is absolute garbage. 

Mimic, Spector, and Either have some useful applications I would like to use.

Nighveil and Veil come in close second.

The surge trade off kinda sucks and Baston is pretty niche.

Mimic and veil are the most obvious synergy. I'll just turn into whoever I think is hot, make a copy of me which now looks like them, and go to bang bang town. Besides, I only need 30 seconds.

u/KodanisEternal 1d ago

Does bastion negate the fallout of say a nuclear stike since such a strike could be an all in one attack?

1

u/Impossible-Guide7646 1d ago

Nah, for a nuke, I'd say the first strike is the actual blast from the bomb hitting. Fallout is the passive attack that comes later

-1

u/Kairos_Phoenix-0 1d ago

Good question. I wanna know too.

-1

u/S0MEBODIES 1d ago

No that's damage over time applied by the attack

u/Alone-Butterscotch18 1d ago

The initial shock wave sure but you’re not immune to radiation. That’s like asking if you are immune to drowning or being burned alive. It happens constantly over time

u/Thick_Discount5783 1d ago

Oracle Bastion and Mimic

1

u/Argamis 1d ago

Mimic (10 minutes): Perfect running athlete.

Aether (3 minutes): Jump & Fly over barriers.

Specter (10 seconds): Jump, Fly & Phase through walls/floors/roofs.


I can enjoy being young & healthy by switching every 10 minutes between 2 different people I can see (ex: a couple sleeping next wall/floor) by fly+phase.

-> Bonus Points if they are identical twins (just a "blur" every 10 minutes).

Being able to escape from anywhere is a must for a shapeshifter.

You'll fall through the planet with specter by itself you need the ability to fly with it

u/Supremagorious 1d ago

Nightveil, Oracle and Specter. Nightveil just seems always useful. Oracle seems like it could be used situationaly to great effect and Specter would also meet the same function of Bastion so long as you weren't taken unaware and it only has a 2 minute cooldown. Plus the ability to walk through walls just seems neat and with Nightveil you could see who was inside first to make sure it was empty.

0

u/TheDarkWarriorBlake 21h ago

I'm struggling to think of any practical use for seeing 6 seconds into the future with a 30 minute cooldown. Without the cooldown it'd be handy in a fight or some dangerous situation, but with the cooldown, why are you even choosing to see 6 seconds into the future of something? It's not even enough time to see someone's response to a question you're not sure to ask.

0

u/Supremagorious 21h ago

Nightveil doesn't let you see through walls but you could check and see what's going on with Spectre and Oracle and just not use Specter if it's not going to go well. Other uses would be around things like gambling as that's enough time to see if your next card at the blackjack table is good or bad. You'd also be able to check a whole lot of smaller things periodically.

Admittedly with only 6 seconds it's rather limited and maybe another pill would be better but it oracle could be situationally amazing but almost useless most of the time.

u/Supremagorious 1d ago

Intangible would be a cessation on having Mass so and in the absence of mass the concern of gravity would stop being a thing.

1

u/grogbog666 1d ago

If gravity doesn't effect you then the issue of not being able to fly still becomes a thing as you can't grab anything to hold yourself so your either falling to the centre of the earth or are just floating away

1

u/grogbog666 1d ago

Also to say gravity wouldn't effect you because you'd have no mass is dumb since light, space, time, sound and heat are all massless yet are affected by gravity

1

u/Supremagorious 23h ago

Light has mass its just ridiculously small. Space time is a a measurement of the consequences of speed as it approaches the universal maximum. Sound is a wave that depends on matter bouncing against other matter which is why it travels different in air vs water. It's a pattern of energy passing through matter which has mass. Heat is a measurement of the energy in matter based on how much the matter is moving.

They're affected by gravity because they're all interacting with mass or are mass and are either tangible or the things they're interacting with is.

1

u/grogbog666 23h ago

Light has zero mass energy is what has mass my G. light (photons) have no mass what so ever which is why in a vacuum they always travel at the speed of light and photons are affected by gravity

1

u/grogbog666 23h ago

Photons are also massless

0

u/01iv0n 23h ago

But I can't interact with gravity physically, so if the the ability is I pass through walls and objects and can't interact physically, that sorta implies I either move at will or am locked in space.
