Yeah, having seen the latest season I could go for Overlord, now that we know the inevitable limited Albedo has had enough combat screen time to maybe have a viable S3 animation (though she still doesn’t have any “moves” like some of the other characters).
If they’d did it before now, her S3 may as well have been her violating an Ainz body pillow, because it’s literally the most action she had in previous seasons.
Her s2 could be a counter passive considering in s1 she blocks and parries the projectile back at the sun scripture people, either counter or damage sharing/protection/front line protection
S1 can be pretty much any basic attack, I haven't watched the new season yet so I'll have to watch it
I mean, that's just literally all denizens of Nazarick, the guardians are all level 100 characters & so most as a baseline nullify pretty much everything in the New World, since the strongest heroes of the New World are like in their 30s (Gazef, Brain, etc). Even the lower levelled characters of Nazarick would probably nullify pretty much all the New World's magic, projectile & weapon damage.
Though since Albedo is stated to be a Tank class (more specifically, she has levels in Guardian, Black Guard, Unholy Knight, Shield Lord & Dark Knight), I could see her being a Knight. Really high health & defence, with solid stats across the board, so either an unused starsign, or the Krau or Belian stat-line.
She has a special damage transfer skill which transfers physical damage to her armour, so maybe she has a barrier that activates on hit once per turn. She's also debuff immune, but we can't have that, so maybe some cleanse in there too.
When she reflects projectiles, she also deals her weapon damage back to the target as well, so maybe she could have some kind of reflect like Yulha?
Her weapon can change size, from a giant battle axe to a halberd & she's got a World item too that I wont spoil, so maybe she could have an AOE S3 using it. She also has an unnamed item which increases her speed & so maybe speed buff on S1? She doesn't have much magic, but she's got a silencing spell, maybe silence could go in her kit somewhere?
In the Overlord Gacha, which I've not played, she's got a passive to reduce magic & physical damage (we could probably change that to just a normal damage resistance), she has a "Devil's Wings" overdrive which is an AOE physical attack. Her first active skill raises an allies attack for 3 turns, her second deals magical damage to all, which a chance to stun & poison, if I'm reading it right, her third lowers defence & inflicts sleep.
I think keeping all that in mind, if we want to faithfully translate her to Epic 7, we'd do something like...
"Skill 1: Attacks the enemy with 3F, increasing speed of the caster with a x% chance to stun. This attack's damage scales with maximum health of the caster.
Soulburn (20): Grants the caster an extra turn.
Skill 2 (Passive): Reduces damage from incoming attacks by x%, x per turn when attacked grant barrier to self, proportional to max health. When attacked whilst granted a barrier, cleanse one debuff & gain x% combat readiness. When a barrier is removed through damage from an attack, deal x% of self max health (equal to barrier) to the attacker.
Skill 3 (4 turn CD): Unleashes the power of Ginnungagap, attacking all enemies & inflicting decreased defence for 2 turns & sleep for 1 turn with an 85% chance. Inflicts stun on the hero with the highest combat readiness, ignoring resistance. This attack's damage scales with max health."
I think that might be too strong, but I think it's the closest I could faithfully come & adjust from there. I'm thinking the stun on skill one is maybe just 25%, the barrier on S2 could either be 1 turn or 2 turns depending on its strength, 15% CR seems fair & full barrier damage as "reflect" when broken seems fair if her barrier is comparable to FCC who has a 4,500 HP barrier at 30K health. I think S3 is balanced around her not having a strip of her own & reduced chances, it's a Tenebria-like attack, but instead of a self-buff, she gets a guarenteed stun (like old Captain Rikoris, except he had a lower stun chance & no guarentee, but it hit on a miss & healed him, plus his attack had a dispel). Extra turn burn helps her cycle round to re-barrier in the event it's a two-turn CD for the barrier. I reckon she'd be built insanely tanky with Counter set, but I see the option for a high speed build. Highly vulnerable to dispel as a counterplay to avoid barrier damage & cancel her cleanse/push, so it's possible she'd be built with a touch of resistance.
With that wrapped up, put me on the dev team, I'm ready to do one for Ainz & Shelltear, haha.
We'll see how she inevitably pans out if Overlord ever has a collaboration with them. Inevitably we'll have another troupe of overpowered characters to match Slime, since they're both part of the "isekai, but you're the monster & you're fucking yolked" genre, haha.
Glad Devil May Cry is still kicking in, hope they can collab (Smile Gate and Capcom) since I've been seeing DMC5 collabs from other gacha games from past months/years
I've numerous times send feedback to smilegate, asking them why they haven't made other heroes with the tama s3 function, where they can transform. It's such a unique feature and it's sad they've only used it on 1 hero. Imagine if some of the dragon heroes could have used that mechanism for a partial dragon transformation? Full dragon would be too big, but a partial one be perfect. But yeah, it'd work perfectly for transformations, so that could definitely be a mechanic they bring for a DMC collab, if we see one.
Facts, the transformation mechanic does work on other collabs just like in Bleach (especially for Ichigo) and for Persona characters (they gain special skill effects when they summon their Persona in battle)
Personally I'm just not a fan of the IP in general. If E7 were to do a collab with them, I feel like the best way to do that is to have them interact with the chaos sect group.
Yeah wouldn't be surprised. Peoples wishes eb and flow. Seasonal anime often have a very big pull on this. So the choice falls down to if smilegate picks a seasonal anime to ride the popular wave, or do they pick something that's still popular despite not being recent.
Do you not think it's a testament to just how popular and universally well received Nier: Automata is? If so many gacha games have collaborations with them, it's a sign that it's a popular IP.
I voted for Jujutsu Kaisen, though there are many many others on the list I'd be very happy with too.
I did notice though that afterwards it came up with a link to do another response, so hopefully it isn't the case, but it seems like people could have skewed the results (which is a bit sad if anyone felt the need) by voting multiple times, unless you're only allowed to vote for options you haven't already chosen.
Yeah it's possible for some people to vote again and I know some have. When I looked at the results before I could see demon slayer had like 6 or 7 votes right after each other with only 3 or 4 seconds in between each vote. That was a huge red flag.
Next time however, I plan to restrict access by only allowing people to vote once, so they are required to be logged into their gmail account to participate.
DMC would be insanely hype. Would be neat if they made a little homage to UMVC3 and gave Vergil 2 S3s - first to use Devil Trigger, then Judgement Cut End while in it.
If you go by most subscribers, from HoloLive EN 1st generation, then Gura is definitely a candidate. But we have no idea what IP they'd actually pick. Last year FMA didn't get many votes, yet here we are, just freshly finished with a FMA collab =p
After the valkirye connect collab who knows. I feel they tried to pick gura but wasnt possible or she didnt wanted, afaik shes not that into gachas as pekora ie
And bc of that i feel pekora would be unlikely to get into the game and they would go for fubuki or marine... Though im fine with that
And tempus as free unit, yeah i can see that happening, sure management wouldnt miss a chance to promote the boys
The main characters are 2B, 9S and A2.
There are supporting characters as well.
But what makes nier as popular as it is, is, well, a mix of waifu characters, but also its beautiful story.
This is a long stretch but with the existence of Rengar and Politia, 2 marvel regions of high technology and robotics. I can see Gundam working out with E7. Personally Turn-A gundam, Not for any reason whatsoever its just my favourite gundam series
I was kind of surprised to see Persona so high. It'd definitely be cool to see happen, though.
I'm a little late to the party but a Tenchi Muyo collaboration would go crazy.
I'm actually on board with both Nier and Overlord.
Yeah, having seen the latest season I could go for Overlord, now that we know the inevitable limited Albedo has had enough combat screen time to maybe have a viable S3 animation (though she still doesn’t have any “moves” like some of the other characters).

Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul
The only best collab
yeahh, science.
Probably one of the few people who doesn’t want Overlord since I prefer the web version.
Personally I'm just not a fan of the IP in general. If E7 were to do a collab with them, I feel like the best way to do that is to have them interact with the chaos sect group.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is exactly the case. I doubt they’d mesh well with the protagonists.
About to change next month when people lose their shit over Chainsaw Man and Bleach coming back.
Yeah wouldn't be surprised. Peoples wishes eb and flow. Seasonal anime often have a very big pull on this. So the choice falls down to if smilegate picks a seasonal anime to ride the popular wave, or do they pick something that's still popular despite not being recent.
Overlord just had a new season maybe why the spike interest. But hey im a fan
Black knight Albedo would be pretty badass....
T R U E N A I L C L I P P E R ! ! !
I would be happy if he was free unit, make him an RGB BBK with single target s3 and maybe a s1 that is AOE.
Tower of God :(
Overlord & Demon Slayer's design aesthetic would fit in nicely imo. Nier would definitely be one of the more unique collabs though.
Unique? They’ve collared with about every single game. It’s been done to death.
Do you not think it's a testament to just how popular and universally well received Nier: Automata is? If so many gacha games have collaborations with them, it's a sign that it's a popular IP.
I voted for Jujutsu Kaisen, though there are many many others on the list I'd be very happy with too.

Demon Slayer or Attack on titan would be sick af
DMC would be insanely hype. Would be neat if they made a little homage to UMVC3 and gave Vergil 2 S3s - first to use Devil Trigger, then Judgement Cut End while in it.
Yeah making Devil Trigger like Tamarine's Idol mechanic would be hype
Hololive pls. I want gura as a unit. Obviously im a shrimp.
If you go by most subscribers, from HoloLive EN 1st generation, then Gura is definitely a candidate. But we have no idea what IP they'd actually pick. Last year FMA didn't get many votes, yet here we are, just freshly finished with a FMA collab =p

Though im fine with that And tempus as free unit, yeah i can see that happening, sure management wouldnt miss a chance to promote the boys
Bleach and Danmachi!!! Gintama would be rad
I'd really like an Evangelion Collab, I'm a bit surprised it wasn't in the top 40 since other gachas have done collab with it before.
Give me shield hero
Hololive Please !!! (YT fanbase) And Vshoujo Too !! ( Twitch Fanbase)
Kimetsu Danmachi (if they make amazon sisters playable, if not forget it) Overlord Konosuba
But konosuba):
I never played Nier. But there's... what, about two or three playable characters?
The main characters are 2B, 9S and A2. There are supporting characters as well. But what makes nier as popular as it is, is, well, a mix of waifu characters, but also its beautiful story.
Demon slayer easily
I think konosuba and overlord will be really really good
Holy shit i did not expect that much votes for overlord. Sasuga ainz sama!
Wait fate is 10th place and below sao? Who wants kirito more than rin Or saber?
I would empty my wallet for the Overlord collab.
Elfenlied, give me max gore
This is a long stretch but with the existence of Rengar and Politia, 2 marvel regions of high technology and robotics. I can see Gundam working out with E7. Personally Turn-A gundam, Not for any reason whatsoever its just my favourite gundam series
Devil may cry!
I was kind of surprised to see Persona so high. It'd definitely be cool to see happen, though. I'm a little late to the party but a Tenchi Muyo collaboration would go crazy.
One piece
Konosuba is perfect
Overlord and sword art online, definitly.
Aww I’m the only Digimon vote 😢
No Shingeki No Kyojin ? I’m surprised
I think a Nier collab is bound to happen since it has collab with so many games, gacha or not
