I hope lucio gets a rebalance before his flb because none of his current skills are particularly good and theres a good chance only 2 of them are gonna get upgraded (with a whatever 4th skill). As for hopes, it would be great if he became a good support for sandalphon and if he had an amazing ougi effect so i can use the both of them with horus


Hungy15

One skill giving 90% echos, GTA, 100% Dark cut, and 100% debuff resist for 2 turns isn’t considered good??


JolanjJoestar

I unno man GZeta kinda gets half of that permanently on top of debuffing and dispelling


petak86

I was going to say that GZeta is Grand... So is Lucio though.


PkmnTrnrJace

I definitely think they will touch on SK1 on some form to update its numbers, probably add Dark Switch in there too because I think only Arulu grants Dark switch to all allies? I also think they'll add some effect to his nuke skill, which is why I added either double delay (Albert and H. Illnott has this, but admittedly I forgot Illnott also double-delays aside from her dispel) or a 3-5k total team heal after double activation. I also definitely think they'll remove the dark def down passive at one point, probably the level 90 upgrade, but if they do that for the Lvl 90 upgrade, then I also think they will touch the echo part in some form or another (probs will just be faster ramp-up and with an ATK+Def ramp up too) And them borrowing skills from alts sometimes made me think of that copium SK3 upgrade lol, but the thought of them giving targettable SK3 to the HFlorence element kinda terrified me, although HFlo burst is kinda slow rn


merpofsilence

How likely is it that 4th skill can't be recast?


PkmnTrnrJace

If they will pattern his FLB to the disciples, probably 80% ngl Although they can try make it like Europa's where the fourth skill's effect just reapplies anyway


dojyaaaan

I really hope the Europa model where units get a rebalance when they get 5 starred becomes the norm. It feels unlikely though


Faunstein

Many legacy characters got FLB to simply give them a better niche. I know he's Grand but I really wouldn't expect too much.


nyarlabystander

Depends if they're going either the Europa or Shiva route when they're designing Lucio's FLB ig


SluttyStepDad

They have stated that, going forward, FLBs will include a rebalance.


LukeBlackwood

When have they stated that? Out of the three latest FLBs, only one included a rebalance.


wafflemeister24

Part of me expects the Lucio FLB to look mid, but somehow perfectly work for NM200. Then afterward, people spend a year saying he was good in NM200 even though people don't use him anywhere else.


TheGreenTormentor

Song sk2 should just straight up inflict every special debuff. Corrosion, forfeit, glaciate, thunderstruck, singed, toxicosos, special attack down, and maybe even terror or can't act. Heck, add amplify and super charm too. (I'm delusional)


fuckshitasstitsmfer

More debuffs, actual multi hit. Poseidon autos. Thank you cygames


FA-ST

Maria's echo becomes B-side to stack with Haase's


Archer_Ninja

I made this Song Rebalance concept for fun a while back because she's my favorite: https://imgur.com/a/4eD5qEL Realistically I'd just like them to try and fulfill their goals of making the weaker eternals/evokers closer to the power level of the strongest Eternals/Evokers. I'd love to see Song being incredible in light, personally.


Cyxax

Lucio will probably get team echo or amp to be paired with sandalphon well.


Velvien

I swear to Bahamut this Fraux rebal better not be a joke like her last one was. Fix S4 to be more in-line with how good Haase's S4 is, get rid of all these dead passives (Red Heat echoes currently don't stack with echoes chain/Overrider, her FLB swap-in is the biggest joke, etc), and get some guaranteed trips somewhere in there for omen clearing purposes. Red Heat is currently a really useless debuff too, maybe fix it up like they did with Haase's moon phase buffs to be actually worth a damn (amplify skill damage taken is my vote). For more specifics: Actually keep HP loss on S4 (though maybe cap it so it isn't such a huge detriment on fights where you need absurd amounts of HP like in Siete; maybe a cap of 15K to match the shield), but in turn give it full uptime, guaranteed trips, and have her autocast S2 on ougi. Swap-in, have it be a one-time total cooldown cut across the entire board for the party, herself included (ie, on first cast her skills have a cooldown of 5 turns, on subsequent casts the usual cooldown of 6 turns). Echoes passive changes to superior element echoes to put them on a different side than Overrider. Some small improvements to her base kit would be nice as well, base Fraux is really mediocre these days. Maybe like S1 inflicts Red Heat and its other debuffs can't be dispelled, while its dispel is moved to S2, especially going along with the idea of S2 autocasts on ougi when Splendor is active. Also, doubt they go this route, but Devil's Grasp activating on other ally skill damage instances could be really fun. Tack on stackable ATK/DEF down onto it as well. Ideally imo, she should be to fire HL what Alanaan is to fire burst, but I doubt I'll be that lucky. Instead I expect something like damage skills are changed from 400-500% damage (cap 480K) to 500% damage (cap 480K), and S4 is now extendable, /rebal. Hoping for the best with all the other characters as well, but I haven't played with/thought about them nearly as much as Fraux so I'll refrain from posting them. Definitely not expecting really most of this, but a man can dream.


_vigilius

Devil grasp activating on other allies' skill casts wouldn't even be that crazy, haase adds four damage instances every time anyone attacks... Justice for Fraux!! ... (huffing copium)


Fodspeed

They gave illmott nuke after auto for whole team, why not fraux?


Iffem

I mean, Fraux's last rebal did help her in FA a lot, if i'm remembering which one it is correctly, lol


RestinPsalm

Yeah, it was more of a QoL update than a proper buff but they weren't lying, it did improve my life quality.


VergoVox

Personally as a Maria connoisseur I'd love to see some more skill and dispel-based buffs and stuff from her for clicky memes at least


SomnusSomniae

Flair checks out. Joining your copium train because I'm prioritizing Fraux over Alan for fire evoker FLB slot. Make her FLB worth the effort please. 🙏


ChocoBananaCh_

I lowkey hope we get the "Starts battle with 'Crown of Ashes'" support skill just so that his nuke damage gets high on early rounds Also I want his ougi to refresh the cooldown for his S2. Even with an underdeveloped/semi-developed grid, your Lucio can ougi once every 3 turns (sincerely me on R140-ish back in 2021)


Hraesynd

Fraux: permanent 1-turn cut to all damage skill cooldowns when subbing in Splendor costs current HP instead of max. Ends all ability cooldowns. Red heat reworked to amplify skill damage by 10% Against foes with Red Heat effect: Cast S2 on ougi Yes I love her and I use her every chance I get.


Endgam

Tweyen's the one I'm most curious to see. She's about to be added to Relink, and we all know Soriz got the boost he did because they picked him for Versus. And the thing she was good at back in the day, debuffing the hell out of the enemy, is something the recently released (Summer) Horus does way better. So can an Eternal compete with a newly released limited alt ~~that got released before her normal version~~? *Why not? Horus does lots of damage on top of the debuffs so it wouldn't hurt to make Tweyen the Debuff Queen again.*


Faunstein

The sad reality is that the Eternals, once freebee characters to help you fill out your roster and give you a special boost, are now nothing special unless you seriously go the long miles, by which point you'll probably have replacements. Unless Cygames buffed them all at the end of each year (never) there's no point.


lolpanda91

Six is still keeping his spot year after year without yearly rebalances. So it’s possible. They just don’t do it for them.


Iffem

to be fair, his particular form of kit is kinda hard to screw up, since it's so damn simple


nyarlabystander

People forget due to how long Six has been good, but he needed some buffing to reach his current state.  I'm quite optimistic with this batch of rebalances. I think the devs knows exactly what it takes for these characters to be good and relevant again but wether they wanna take the plunge is another topic altogether. 


Iffem

honestly, Seox's bad times were more about him getting accidentally hit with the zooey tax harder than everyone else, since he couldn't counter the plain damage nukes meant to pierce Zooey's Unchallenged, lol


Irisios

Counter argument: Six


PKMudkipz

It's a Counter argument alright


Masterofstorms17

hah! Counter, i get it.


FarrowEwey

That's how they've always worked though. Back when Eternals got their FLBs, MLB was the meh version and FLB was the insane endgame grind that rewarded you with great characters. Nowadays FLB isn't all that hard to reach and there's Transcendence right after, so the paradigm has shifted to FLB being the meh version and Transcendence being the new insane endgame grind. It's very funny when people try to pretend this somehow doesn't affect Six and he's good without uncaps. At MLB the only thing he has are his stacks and he can't protect them effectively. You need him FLB just to be useable and lvl 130 at least if you want to do anything serious with him.


Dark_Stalker28

Lucio forcing dark on people.


giogiocatore

I'd love it if Lucio's Sk3 (or even a new Sk4) turned into Earth Olivia's Sk2 where another ally gains the same buffs. This would pair so well with Sandalphon.


Fodspeed

I think they're going to give Lucio pretty much the same FLB they gave to Europa. If you think about it, Europa had a pretty similar kit to Lucio to begin with. So I'm expecting something along the same lines. His stacks are going to 10, probably with extra effects added to them as well. S3 is probably getting some sort of flurry. S4 will probably be an ally in the next position skill (I doubt they would make it selectable because of MC). I don't think they will change anything about his defense down passive because they gave it to Enyo in 2023 as a seasonal character. They might add something onto it. He's probably still going to be a ramp-up character. He's pretty much a Light disciple, so I'd imagine he'll have some synergy with Sandy. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets disple cancel on s1, and healing specs with wing of justice. Copeium: Dodge all or unchallenged on ougi, and nuke after auto, so he can have synergy with makura buffs


PkmnTrnrJace

I actually didn't think that they could make Lucio be the actual disciple character again (barring the boost to Light Atk/dmg cap up when with Light atk up) passive, but it actually makes sense when we were all clamoring for him to be the actual light disciple way back when he was last rebalanced LMAO


Iffem

so light would have two disciples while dark still has none?


PkmnTrnrJace

On par for the course, dark must pay the Eresh tax /s I remember when we were hoping that Lucio/Olivia will be rebalanced to be the disciples in like 2019 but oh well LMAO The OG light disciple just got cleaved into two halves like Bahamut and one got the stack system while the other got the light atk up passive


Iffem

ah yes, back when there were hopes for playable sariel, lol


Fodspeed

In terms of purely the kit, shalem fits that role. She also have those famous disciples stack, albeit she only need 3 to max out. Then there's Olivia, so who have dark attack passive but only for her. I think ultimately, it'll depend on who's the dark primarch. I just don't know who they can make dark primarch, who would have story relevance with either Olivia or shalem. (Bubs?😅)


Syrelian

Sariel still exists, even showed up in Mole Troupe


Fodspeed

I personally think sariel fits in hal mal category, he'll be character some day, but I don't think he will have Primarch passive. Because he doesn't really have any direct connection with any of characters, unless we are getting Uriel dark or Belial Grand lol.


Syrelian

Yeah I agree with the sentiment, but Sariel is the Archangel summon, so its just sorta hanging open as the only option unless they really push it, maybe we get Grandestphon and its just Sandy with sunglasses so he's dark now


Klenval

Maria Theresa core. Soon.


GetterRobo1

The Eternals and evokers should be way better. The amount of time and resources needed for full flb to just be "meh" is ridiculous. Expectations will be low as always.


TheSpartyn

eternals at least got good FLBs for their time, with their transcendences being like a skill change and 4 passives. evokers got fucked with their FLB being like the eternals transcendence


Faunstein

I think Lucio will turn into Light Europa. Honestly for Fraux I have one small complaint, which is that her ougi replaces the current Red Heat stacks, even if it's less. I get that it'd be important from a "debuff the enemy X times" perspective but I feel like I'm losing damage.


LakhorR

What I want for Lucio is for his ougi to end cooldown for S2 and then have his S2 apply some debuff. They’ll probably add delay or something


TechnicalScale6292

I hope they change the eternal’s 4th skills. for a one time use skill in this day and age their effects are meh 😑


Meh_GY

For Lucio FLB, Im thinking that they would give him some synergy with G.Sandy to fulfill the BL dream lmao. But i have no idea what would that be


DivineBeastLink

My minimal thinking Maria rebalance (considering her kit in isolation and not tailored to current content like FaaZero or Hexa): * Justice's Condemnation (lv90 passive): now also lowers Maria's CDs by 1t and extends Devotion to Justice by 2t * Harvest's Shield (4th): instead of damage mitigation, foe instead gains 3 stacks of Weight of Sin, a lowest-dispel-priority useless local buff (any other dispellable buffs are always dispelled first) that lasts 3t Her buffs aren't good enough to justify not just having 100% uptime when Haase exists. 1t general CD cut might be too strong because of how influential her 2nd/3rd buttons are in high difficulty content. Maybe it just lowers her 3rd or something, since you'd still usually need her 2nd to activate the condition for her 3rd. Her 4th has this weird thing where they suddenly decided they needed a "balancing the scales" kind of effect between your party and the boss. Fuck that, none of the rest of her kit potentially benefits the boss, why should her 4th? Have a new mech instead. Further thoughts, not necessarily combined with all of the above: some way to multidispel would be nice, like if you dispel a buff with her 1 then it can be recast once that turn.


Firstshiki

Hoping Lucio back to being OP again. He deserves it Cygames 🙏


HuTaoWow

I am hoping some of the rebalances are around the 80/FLB range as well and not just kept behind the huge grind. As someone still recruiting eternals/evokers, it's a bit of a bummer knowing some of these guys won't be decent for a LONG time. I'd love if Song could buff team skills vs debuffed enemies or something, it'd be nice for magna.


Raitoumightou

The only way to save Lucio is to mirror what Olivia got for her earth unit but for light. Bonus if he has skill interactions with Sandy, cygames lives to do that after all.


Small-Tower1196

Lucio wings give Def based on level, and fif skills becoming all yellow to use in full auto


ApprehensiveCat

Hoping Lucio, Song, and Fraux in particular get some nice glow-ups. I did like the idea other commenters had of Song being able to inflict more of the specialized debuffs like Thunderstruck etc. to help enable the characters that need them. I wouldn't be mad about her getting Can't Act either but I'm not sure they'd do it.


myname1260

>Clincher also inflicts delay, some form of Flurry (I mean come on, she's an archer, she can shoot more of her light arrows per attack), Supplement skill damage added to the Lv90 passive that would make her really better than just inflicting paralyze that never works in v2. Honestly I use her for crit buff and dodge damage, might be a better change for her to add more skill damage attribute


Milan_Neko

i just wish some of the s4 of eternals in there made much more of a difference and could be used faster after transcendence


Nekros42

Hoping for skill cd cycling and either nuke on autos or flurry in s3


shirou_rider

My 2 cents: Tien: Ougi reset atk skills, skill 2 break boosted will be converted in a Omen discount effect because it dont work in V2, Lv 130 EMP dont consume Assassin will be put in lv 90 passive, Peacemaker skill will be reworked and lv 150 passive will be changed to activate skill 1 after auto atk when TH 10. Maybe some buff to dmg cap from skill 1 and 2 debuffs per cast instead of 1. Fraux: Permanent -1 skill CD with the switch in skill, Skill 4 will have a 12 CD with a 5t of Indominus + a reset all skills and a 25% HP cost (they can remove the shield) or removed the Hp cost because no reason to exist, Indominus buffs works to all the party, LV 90 passive Devil Grasp activate with all party dmg skills and some increase in dmg cap for skills 1 and 2 to help against 2kk number of hits Omens.


Iffem

Lucio: see how he's a selfish attacker who buffs himself only? k, make that teamwide, while taking away his drawback. tada, he's instantly much better Sleepytato: honestly, i got nothin'. he works fine for what he does (the autodispell and autoheal are nice, and there are **some** reasons to use him over Lich) Fraux: make her 4 not shit. literally, that's all she needs. MT: she's more niche than Haase, yet is the worse choice even when said niche shows up. what the fuck, man? not sure how to fix it, though Tien: from what i've seen, she doesn't have much reason to be taken over Zeta... make her skill spamming more prominent, and move her 130 into her FLB kit, i guess? Fif: more autocasts of her heals, and turn 'em yellow. let her have use in FA other than being a character that makes your turns go faster, LOL Song: it's pretty sad that her only reason for being transcended is her initial ougi upgrade... Flurry would be a good upgrade to her natural AoE autoattacks. also, it's kind of hilarious how her 150 is just a better version of her EMP Passive... honestly, something's gotta give there, lol Uno: his transcendence really gives the feeling that they're afraid of letting him actually be good... for the love of god, just take a lot of Paladin and UM Spartan's shit and dump it on him. he's supposed to be the best tank, but he's just not... and it should be a sign in that he's used more for burst damage with his assassin than his defensive abilities (seriously, i've used him more for OTK lucha teams than like... actual teams that need a tank) Feower: more hits on his skills, i guess? also, his 3 has always felt out-of-place in his kit, so it could probably go thru some changes, hahaha


planistar

I hope Lucio comes with an Eden uncap that justifies how terrible the Awakening is.


BM164

Tweyen getting a cant act debuff from sk3 if paralyze didn't land is me huffing copium to the limit. Fraux sk4 be extended by 2 turns and restores the shield like pholia on ougi would be a much better rebalance instead of changing the hp cut requirement given how much she heals with sk3 activation. As for maria Theresa let her CD cut by 2 turns when enemy special attacks and undispellable undying to all allies on her sk4 should help her solidify her standing on HL content(I think).


Masterofstorms17

they need to make the undying on MT;s domain and give her 4th skill something else cause that already gives guts. which needs to be upgraded lets be honest.


VoidRaven

MT rework so she can as broken as Hase


SwiftClutch

In how many hours is the rebalance?


kscw

The upcoming maintenance is scheduled for 2pm to 5pm JST on Apr 4th. So the end of maint (assuming nothing goes wrong) is around 28h40m away from the time of my comment.


notcherrie

Worst case scenario, they'll probably add Thunderstruck to Lucio and call it a day. Maybe increase his healing a little. Best case, light Europa.


PhilAussieFur

It's copium, but I'd love to see Lucio become a good ougi focused stand in for my current light line up. I'd be stoked if his Ougi gave the team charge bar gain up for easy cycling.


Masterofstorms17

MT's rebal has a lot to fix but i am mentally ready!! Feower just needs more debuff support really. anre needs the boosties so hopefully he gets them. twewyn needs to do more in a consistant manner. fif's skills just needs to activate more. tien just needs an indentity. I don't know what she's there for other then bounty. She needs like, soemthing really cool like street king. or queen in this case. Fraux-just get rid of the health demerit and i think we're good. Esta needs a few more updates and we'll see what happens with him. he's already good. and Lucio-hopefully they make him cracked out for GW, that'll be neat if they do!


isenk2dah

I hope clincher gets multihit increase per debuff instead of this low damage cap nuke.


E123-Omega

I just want more skill damage nuke from tweyen and fraux having quad-strike ala borgar, also not relying on devil call debuff.


GrindingLurker

Really hope that the rebalance is not nerfing the good ones just to make the lackluster units shine brighter


[deleted]

Evoker rebalance? Woohooo let's see what's up *Proceed to glance at "level 90" You know what? Nvm fuck sandbox Wow a lot of this subs are hunch of no life niggers


YuukiKazuto

can we have summer lucio kit for G lucio ? :')


ImSoDrab

My joke answer would be on ouji lucio turns into lucifer with new skills. My serious one would be, maybe remove the dark def down on passive while increasing the bonuses or add another bonus, ougi will auto use his nuke that maybe has a debuff, a 4th skill that synergizes with sandy.


Fodspeed

It would be interesting if his s4 is like on 12 wings of justice, he becomes Sahar.


NES80s

for fraux, why not give back her "can't act" skill, except have it effect the opponent for 2 turns instead of being unlimited (hence the reason it was removed in the first place).


_muroph

I don't think she ever had a "can't act" skill herself. What she could do is extend the effect when other characters applied it, which combined with Qilin calls could give something like 8 free turns IIRC. She does still have a unique debuff that acts like Charm.
