That's Heathcliff. And notably, they've never actually teased an EGO in this format before, which implies this is actually our very first EGO ID.

If so, I am definitely expecting the final "version" of the base identities will be them wielding their personal EGO permanently.

Really hoping it's an actual EGO that changes your ID after you use it rather than a standard ID. That'd make R Heath even better since you can just equip the EGO once you run out of ammo.

Finally seeing Sunshower Yi Sang's Corrossion.

I'd also like to mention that there's a bit of a story behind this EGO, or at least it's clearly based on a Korean fairy tale/folk tale.

It's one of those 'explain why natural phenomenon happens' stories, like how Persephone explains the seasons in Greek myth: There's a story involving a fox marrying a tiger, which causes a cloud, who loved the fox, to cry behind the sun, creating sunshowers-days where it's raining despite the sky being clear.

okay yeah, uptied and (mostly) leveled rose rodion, and this is it, this is her good identity

She's got that sweet spot where she's just a generically good identity alongside being really fantastic Tremor support.

Meursault's new identity in comparison is...fine. It's fine! Nothing spectacular but you'll want to run it on a dedicated tremor team. (Which, unfortunately, describes all of Meursault's identities, poor guy)

Rose Rodya even has great Sin elements on her attacks. Pride for Representation Emitter, Gloom for half a dozen different great EGO, and Envy's valuable too with Heathcliff and the Telepoles. It means that both W Don and N Faust want to take her along, so between that and her solid damage and clashes and the Tremor I imagine she'll see a lot of use in the next Railway.

Arzaac
Jan 2, 2020


It's not like you're gonna take any of her other Identities in the railway, this one's a clear winner.

It's also probably worth dragging along Rose Meursault and LCCB Ishmael for a nice little Tremor package, as they don't have a ton of great identites either.

I think the thing about all his identities is they're sort of like, backbone/foundational to whatever team/gimmick they're meant to support, but never the standout star of that theme. N Corp Meursault is a tank and a half, who applies a lot of nails and gives the sins you want, but Sinclair/Faust are way more standout in terms of actually looking good in that team. Rosespanner Meursault is similar, he doesn't really stand out but he does really beef up the Tremor team and if more Rosespanner identities come out he'll be a solid way to keep them going. Liu again, on his own isn't super amazing but he's a good source of burn count for that theme and clashes well, plus he's got the new EGO that really works well for that stuff. W Corp needs more charge stuff across the board that actually have ally functions rather than most charge characters being solo one-shot wonders, or bad.

gonna say it right now: meursault capote's gonna be the finisher for the burn team

land a whole lot of burn counts that don't matter unless the fight drags on which you don't usually want, then push the meursault button for a buttload of stagger damage AND ALSO possibly a WHOLE lot more burn

I'd agree with this in general, Meursault's identities are workable but not standout fantastic (they clash well but don't do damage for the most part, or don't clash well but never die so they get you sins). His EGO on the other hand, are all single target boss-busters in one way or another, Chains on its own just stops single enemies dead for a whole turn, and if you can do it every turn yeah Meursault isn't doing poo poo for the rest of the fight but use the EGO, but the boss is probably as soft as a kitten and completely controlled.

Notably they seem to be specifying this is a 'Lobotomy' EGO, probably to distinguish it. I wonder if it pulls at EGO rates, 000 rates, or something else entirely? Does it cast and Synchronize or is it equipped as an Identity?

I am excited regardless. :D

Yeah this, it's almost definitely the 000 identity of the two, and those have often been characters (Rodion is the leader of the Rosespanner Workshop in the current story stuff). Not always of course, and they're still different people, more if the Sinner had the life/endpoint of the other character (N Meursault has different characterisation from Guido even though they're both Grobhammer in the same situation for example).

Mostly because Gregor's is a 00 Identity, since it's one of the Rosespanner Mooks with the chainsaws, like Rosespanner Meursault being one of the mooks with a hammer.

Yeah looking at the preview vid again, there is actually a 000 right there on Heathcliff's titlebar.

It's interesting that this is the first time they've done a banner that isn't split gender. Wonder if it's because Rosespanner Don is going to represent an enemy we haven't seen yet (since she's presumably going to be the 2* on the Fairy Ishmael banner).

Edit: Come to think of it, might be because they didn't want to have the 2* going Don -> Meursault -> Don.

Do we even know that we're getting Rosespanner Don any time soon? Yeah, she's in the art, but we've got a bunch of implied Sinners in art that we don't have as IDs (W Hong Lu, Liu Faust, Rabbit Ryoshu).
