Huh. Well… I’ve always been overly critical of a frame’s kit pre-release when in most cases they turned out fine so I guess I’ll hold my tongue for the time being, but I’m really not a fan of Kullervo’s kit. I guess maybe you could have some sort of semi quadratic scaling on with his 3 whenever you pair it with his 2 or 4, and that’s where the DAMAGE in his kit comes from? Hm. We’ll see.
I’m actually pretty excited for his kit. He’s gonna have some dumb helminth combos with grouping abilities, MfD, Kittag, and possibly Prisma Obex with either Vaz or one of the ragdoll grouping helminths.
Given how strong melee Decrees are he’s also going to be a really good roll for Circuit. Especially if Ukko is coded as a projectile ability and benefits from the damage-per-Decree Intrinsic. Even outside Circuit, projectile abilities have some really dumb scaling gimmicks like Nourish, Arcane Arachne, and vig swap.
Definitely going to be playing with him a lot. I agree his kit looks kinda meh at first glance, but the more I’ve thought about it the more curious I get.
Both his 1 and 3 scale based on weapons, so as long as they don’t have any obvious problems (like a short range/duration on the 3) they should be good. 2 is survivability, which is nice, and his 4 will probably end up as a helminth slot (a la Sol Gate, Danse Macabre, and the other poorly scaling ‘ultimate abilities’ that frames get.)
The passive will probably end up being strong, given that Voruna’s version caps out heavy attack efficiency, so this will probably do the same.
Overall I don’t think he’ll set the world on fire, but he seems to have a pretty solid game plan. And maybe his 4 will surprise us by scaling very well.
We’ll have to wait and see the numbers. I predict his 2 will be pretty bad at keeping him alive in Steel Path, but it could go the other way potentially. The text descriptions aren’t exactly detailed, and even if we knew exactly how each ability worked numbers matter a lot.
That’s true. Although on the bright side, numbers are easy to tune later. (As long as they remember to change them…)
the example cursed decree shown is -armor +damage. . . i just. . .the present decrees are heavily weighted in favor of +damage and with even low investment in intrinsics give passive damage anyway. . what the decrees are missing is survivability boosting effects
Kullervo looks solid on paper
His 1st skill mentions being a heavy attack, wonder if it will be a pseudo exalted that is affected by heavy attack mods
Neat, wish they had included a few more blurbs on what else is coming just to give people more of a sense of what else is coming with it.
LR3 here I come!
I’m looking forward to the patch notes. I wonder if the Incarnon issues will be fixed.
