Review
Review
An absolute godsend of an ID. Starting with his capabilities on his own, he offers really competent clashes and damage with his other two skills. Most of his passive only comes from running other Blade Lineage IDs, with the only part of his passive being that he can survive fatal damage once per encounter. That being said, the main attraction of this ID would be his Skill 3, Yield My Flesh. When you lose a clash with this skill, what comes after is "Claim Their Bones," a unique defense skill that outdamages just about every nuke in this game. His poise gain makes him reliable to use in all content this game has to offer. Outside of Blade Lineage Meursault's Skill 3, he offers a plethora of amazing buffs to allies who are Blade Lineage, whenever he gains Poise, his allies gain poise. Whenever you get 3 Pride Resonance, all Blade Lineade IDs are powered up with Coin Power, Damage and Crit Damage. His Skill 1 gives Final Power to the Skill 1 of all other Blade Lineage allies based on Absolute Resonance, and his Skill 2 gives Final Power to the Skill 2 of all other Blade Lineage allies based on Absolute Resonance. Blade Lineage Meursault singlehandedly enables reliable poise outside of Mirror Dungeons for all other Blade Lineage IDs, in turn making most of them extremely viable. His kit also makes him super flexible to use on a team, you can have him and 2 other Blade Lineage IDs and run someone like Captain Ishmael to further buff the capabilities of everyone.
Notable E.G.O. Synergies: Regret's Passive buffs all of his skills even further, and the Slash Power Up he can gain from his Skill 2 and Counter cancels out the 1 Base Power he loses. Screwloose Wallop makes the Max Health condition of his S3 and Counter easier to achieve, and his passive makes it so that he cannot be killed easily. Because "To Claim Their Bones" is categorized as a Defensive skill, The Attack Power Down from Meursault's Base Ego has no effect on it, while also affecting Yield My Flesh, making it harder to win a clash with it.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extremely powerful Skill 3
Insanely good support for other Blade Lineage IDs
Extremely high damage
Cons
Because Yield My Flesh rolls decently high, it's sometimes difficult to lose a clash with it.
Since his passive is resonance based, To Claim Their Bones is risky even if you're not staggerable.
First stagger threshold is fairly high. Yield My Flesh helps get around that but still a risk that should be considered.
