Review

Review

By himself, Blade Lineage Sinclair is just a decent Identity, but when combined with the Impending Day EGO (available in the Battle Pass), he becomes an amazing addition to teams that need Wrath or Pride SINS. Here's how it works - the Impending Day EGO has a passive that grants 5 E.G.O resources when an enemy is killed and the type of resources gained depends on the affinity of the skill that killed him. This means that Blade Lineage Sinclair can easily feed both Wrath and Pride resources to his team.

Still, without the EGO, Sinclair as in Identity is nothing special and you can drop him from his current S rank to A or even B.

While he is the only ID in the game that can maintain Poise stacks from turn to turn (provided he hits the enemy which he should as he has very bad speed range which in this case actually helps him), his base skill power and what he gains from the coin rolls is simply average - only his Skill 3 stands out as the damage on it is pretty decent. His speed is also terrible and often he will attack last, which is actually what you want (because of his passive). Still, despite that, he makes an excellent support character as speed isn't important for them.

Also, his base EGO works really well for him.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • becomes an amazing support with Impending Day EGO,

  • skill 3 is a great finisher.

Cons

  • without the EGO he is just another damage dealer Identity.
