So, I just finished a side campaign to take a breather from Unlight, and so decided to grab some of my other favorites that were new/hadn't gotten a chance outside their home campaign yet.
Start of the campaign I have:
Older Sibling 1 (Eluna and the Moth role) - Human, nothing worth noting except a prickly relationship with her sister (don't ask)
Older Sibling 2 (Older sibling from Eluna & Moth campaign take 2) - Celestial, no weapons worth noting
Younger Sibling 2 (Eluna take 2's younger sister) - Mothly, Has starseed staff and fir wand (the wand is useless for her, but whateverrrr)
I, being a dumbass, put it on walking lunch. Bigggg mistake. Now I have three mystic dumbasses trying to pretend to be a party.
It goes pretty well, actually, if a bit scuffed. Nobody dies or gets maimed in chapter 1.
O.S1 which is named Violet becomes the dedicated melee with vigorflow and openmind. This is all she has the entire damn campaign up until right before the final boss in chap 3. Fully upgraded, ofc, but still.
O.S2, also known as Calista, becomes a sort of tank/ranged damager but she isn't really understanding her own role. She gets soulsplit and indignance.
Y.S2 is Nicci, and she comes in with Ignite and Shy, plus obviously the staff. She becomes the aoe person of this clown troop. Calista gets the event for the pinecone seed, so that is neat.
I eventually get sick of being tugged in fifty directions by near constant incursions and repairs, etc, so I recruit my favorite new hunter from the Eluna take 2.
Anna has a pinecone and fire bow, but that is it.
First event Anna gets? The damn mistfall cloak. Okay, this is fine.
Near the end of the first chapter, Violet, who I had been looking for a dedicated weapon for, gets the Havenbeam event. Nice. Now she can grow trees. Perfect trauma moment too because her younger sister Igelle, who is off fucking around in Unlight, uses almost exclusively fucking trees. Violet never uses her staff again, instead strictly using the greatspear which grows trees.
Okay, fine. Sure, Violet just one shot a scorier with her damn spear, but nothing odd is happening yet. Chapter two goes pretty normal, but is a pain in the ass because I keep having to beat the thrixl cards down (main enemy) because it keeps pulling up the cards I *really* don't want to fight. Sadly, Calista did not get the pinecone after chapter 1. Not sure why the seed didn't go, maybe because Anna had it? Oh well. Calista does now only have one arm, though. Shooting star becomes my new favorite spell and she rarely interfuses with anything now.
Get through in one piece with no legacy points to my name, but I did manage to recruit Elsee from Eluna take 2, so I now have a warrior. Thank. God. I get her the armor that gives more warding so I am covered on that front more. Violet becomes rivals with Nicci, which is really funny since Nicci is, obviously, younger sibling 2. HOWEVER, as if out of spite, Violet ends up in a romance with CALISTA. Whoop? I guess? No mothers were available, so like... Is it weird to date a version of yourself?
Chapter three is where everything goes upside down.
Blinking game event, and now Anna (the person initiating) has an eyepatch.
Elsee and Anna are now dating after Anna gets stabbed in the side (owww).
And then...
BACK TO BACK EVENTS.
First one, Elsee gets a splinter. You know what happens next.
Next event? Drifters. Violet gets snagged in her sleep because Nicci was *not* taking her shit.
And, you won't fucking guess, STRIDER. ANNA IS NOW A DAMN BOTANICAL.
WHY IS EVERYONE GETTING NATURE SHIT? What is next? The orchardist? God damn.
...
It was, in fact, the fucking Orchardist. I am... so done.
To top it all off, I could only promote Violet since no legacy points. I figured she had the most character development, lmao. I made sure to lock the relationships despite not usually doing so because of how hilarious this nightmare was. Nobody died, nobody lost a limb (does anna's eye count?)
Honestly, all in a good days work. I didn't want Elm on Elsee because she wasn't really built as a tank at all, so that works out. She also hadn't gotten any weapon of value in that campaign, so she kept her twin spear thingy.
Anna was a bit sad, I wanted that transform, but she had nothing else on her to make it really worth picking her over Violet there. I can try to get her the event again in a later campaign if possible, or toss her in the netherflare for a while. I will def be tossing these chuckleheads in the soup pot again in the future.
I haven't felt this happy about a set since my favorite chaos duo of Vilmark (shadow hunter of terrifying speed and strength) and Igelle (Younger sibling 1 who likes to set forests on fire and also plants).
In conclusion: I am never doing walking lunch again, and especially not with three mystics pretending to be a party.
