PM posted the teaser for the new Faust 000 on their teaser.
I've seen people calling her and Heath Sweepers, but honestly Faust looks more like the Pupeteer and the director called them machine humans so I highly doubt their sweepers. Looking at their animations they seem to be Burn IDs which doesn't fit with either, but just judging by their dialogue and appearance my current guess is that they're supposed to represent the third party that has been attacking WARP trains and turning their passangers into monsters, and honestly they're look reminds me of Rosespanner so my current guess is these IDs represent members of an anti-W corp revolutionary group that mimics the Puppeteer.
It's a shame that Faust already has a WARP ID so there is no connection between the two. Unless the plot is that she got fucked over so hard she joined an anti corp, which will be the first time we'll have the same ID entity in two different moments in time.
 
Another big issue is the SP drop from character death. More than a year after release and we have only 2 negative coin characters. Getting an ally killed without being able to avoid it followed by failing basic clashes because the coin system being rigged will be very unfun.
Kinda niche coming from a base unit player but you would be surprised at how no longer having every fight be resolved with the winrate button and having SP become a huge resource to manage completely changes the way the game is played in terms of tactics. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's nothing the Red Mist fight in Ruina has that a Season 0 set of IDS (with a few exceptions) vs the average boss after the first few clashes (which yes, you 100% can job and have to restart)

So long as the sheer amount of killing you are expected to do is cut down tremendously, fights falling between -10 and 40 sanity allow so many more IDS to shine.

I want to say that a good compromise would be that skill 2 and skill 3 use small amount of SP before the clash to make it so they are more high risk high reward, but on the other hand a losing a clash can be extremely lethal (on the other other hand EGO skills are nearly a guaranteed clash pass).
 
New trailer dropped right on time, the new IDs are confirmed to be Fixers from the "Multicrack office" I still think they have revolutionary connections like Rosespanner has since Multicrack Fuast referenced a plan, but it looks like the Multicrack fixers also got turned into love towners and we'll be working together with a Fixer to deal with the incoming townie hoard. Outis' new Dimension Shredder EGO will hopefully help out W Outis, although it'll be competing with space alongside Ebony Stem.
Also "Faust" seemingly confirming that Faust is an identity like Charon and Lapis due to "Faust" having her access to Faust's knowledge be severed, or it could be the Faust hive mind theory.

"My access to Faust's knowledge...has been severed" fuck she got bimbofied, but in seriousness it seems that Outis' new ego has a special kill animation that cuts apart the victims sprite,, I wonder if we'll get to see more interactions in the future.

My theory on what's happened is that the whole problem is caused by a bloodfiend like Elena molding the passengers into monsters like Tomerry

Probably won't happen, but I really hope getting to -45 SP will trigger a new LoveTown form rather than usual corrosion.

I look forward to killing Kromer with it, and since Multicrack Faust cites being connected to Faust as well, I think it's a little bit column A, a little bit column B. With the various Fausts all being connected to the main Faust who we haven't seen yet, but is probably some sort of future anatgonist.
Also your correct about the Bloofiend, TLs have been done on the enemies and they're called things like "Blood bag hungry passanger" etc. Makes sense since Elena's power is the most replicable, guess the guy on the cover is a Bloodfiend.
Also the IDs don't seem to be using Burn to my disappointment, they're bleed and charge. At least Rhino-sault will be in good company.

Alright bois, I got a story prediction.

OG Faust is the head.
Nah. My schizo theory from smoking the same batch of crack as the director is that:
One Faust somehow managed to merge multiple instances of herself together and has gained an insane ammount of knowledge from multiple mirror worlds. Kind of how sinners from W-corp mirror worlds have extensive knoledge about the Warp trains. It is also the opposite of what [REDACTED] did on Canto VI of killing herself across all mirror worlds. The giga-Faust is also being held/comes from that ball of chains from the Mephistopheles engine, that seems like a very important aspect of her canto since it appeared on promotional art and on her base EGO.

It is also interesting how we see three shadows. One determined, the other at the limit of breaking down and we don't get to see the third.
 
If we’re talking about schizo theories I’d like to remind you the sinner number on Faust’s corpse is not her actual sinner number

Hmmmmmm

The new Multicrack IDs for Heathcliff and Faust share a Charge potency focus ,and also sacrificing health to gain Charge count. Heathcliff grows faster and has more clash power, and Faust inflicting more damage with the higher their potency is. Heathcliff seems like he'll be okay especially with that debuff that gives attackers charge and Faust's skill 3 inflicting Envy Fragility next turn helps out Envy resonance teams, Heathcliff's blunt fragility also works well with that team since it has a lot of blunt on it.
But one thing worth noting is that Heathcliff's new id works perfectly with his AEDD EGO, as it gives him more haste, and gives charge proportional to missing HP. While it's corrosion gives Charge and spends it before giving back 10 charge, all of which is stuff Multicrack Heathcliff wants to do.
Also I don't think this needs to be said but Multicrack Faust is another Faust ID that has the colors to fuel Fluid Sack

Outis' Dshredder is another resonance = attack weight EGO, and is tailor made to support her W Corp ID, giving Haste and Load next turn based on Charge Potency and both giving and consuming Charge count to fuel her passive. But one interesting thing is that the Corrosion maxes out your Charge count while the passive increases the maximum amount of charge while increasing the damage Charge consuming skills do, making the Charge on kill easier to get and making W Outis' passive proc easier.

Also the first of those long awaited UI change Pmoon has been talking about, honestly it's about time.
Everything else is just standard.

Just finished the event, insanely peak. I won't post about what happens yet, not even in spoilers, it's that fucking nuts. Enjoy, everyone.
 
Midway through the event but need to go to work. Holy shit I forgot how colorful the portraits are, it feels like turning Bloom to max.

Wondering if the warning sirens when doing rip space are just flavour or they trigger something.
 
new ID's are pretty good.
they take longer to ramp up than classic charge id's but they snowball pretty hard.
Yeah, I'm a big fan of their designs, both aesthetically and game play wise. I was skeptical of Charge potency focused id design at first due to Outis being a bit of an underwhelming first impression for me, but the Multicracks feel much better designed and well considered than the Charge Count IDs. Instead of feeding into their S3 they feed into their S2 which then feeds into the rest of their kit. They also continue the trend of IDs being focused around their Skill 2s and having other skills feed into them.
Although word of warning, don't use Fuast Telepole as it has anti synergy with Multicrack since it reduces Charge Count usage by 2.

I'm also glad Multicrack Heathcliff is pretty nice, usually these event IDs tend to be weak, but Heathcliff's skill 1 is average and his skill 2 has a forgiving activation condition and instantly bumps you up an additional Charge Potency. Unfortunately the Charge Potencey needed for his second tier of buffs is too high, but Heath's Telepole and AEDD should help with that outside of mirror dungeons.
  • Skill 1: 3+4+4 = 11
    • 5 Charge Count: 3+5+5 = 13
  • Skill 2: 4+3+3+3 = 14
    • 5~10 Charge Count: 4+5+5+4 = 19
  • Skill 3: 5+2+2+2+2 = 13
    • 2 Charge Potency: 5+3+3+3+3 = 17
    • 4+ Charge Potency: 5+4+4+4+4 =21
And of course Multicrack Faust is even better since she eventually builds up to an always on 32 rolling S3.
While compared to W Outis who has a hard time building up potency with Load being an underwhelming buff, at least her S3 actives at 7~15 count she has 2+ potency.

Idk how I didn't see the foreshadowing with all the life drain / bleed on the ids and egos.
 
Okay pretty peak event, and I enjoyed it more that the previous one that felt less too much like filler. Faust without her all knowledge is interesting to follow.

Gameplay wise going unga bunga with charge will always be fun and the new IDs are great in both design and feeling weighty.

And that fucking ending man, can't wait for the next chapter.
 
Idk how I didn't see the foreshadowing with all the life drain / bleed on the ids and egos.
Honestly I thought it was kinds cheap due to the lack of story foreshadowing but once I looked at her IDs it made more sense as well. I think Don should have at least refereed to obviously older characters like Ryoshu, Gregor, or Outis as young as well, or maybe use other VTM terminology but that might be a bit too obvious. Honestly I've seen people post about Don being a Bloodfiend elsewhere before but was pretty skeptical.

She call's Meursault young in the time killing time chapter, and checks someone's pulse with their forehead in the BL chapter, and she literally eats raw chicken in the chicken chapter.
Also she literally talks in a completely outdated dialect lol. The foreshadowing is there in the story, its just hard to remember since chapters release at a snails pace.

We all just assumed she was autistic the whole time lmao.
