lol wow a whole craftable A rank engine I never even noticed was in the game. I should look into if it's worth using, I only just recently got Koleda from the 300 pulls pick since she was the last standard S ranker I didn't have, and I defaulted to giving her a Precious Fossilized Core.

FCore is great cause it has Impact, Steam Oven only has energy regen. However, with Koleda's M2 you get 12% bonus daze (and trigger king of the summit) when you use an ex special (every 45 seconds). So she usually has an extra 45 daze as a buff on top of her listed impact.

Start of combat vs after using an ex special

oh that is nice. And a way better mindscape than any Lycaon gets lol, his M2 is so much weaker than that in practice. I honestly don't know if I'm just playing him wrong, but every time I use him I think "Pulchra could be doing this same job while also letting my DPS do her work at the same time"

I use my Lycaon off field? I have him with king of the summit and Hellfire Gears, switch in to hold ex, then switch out. I think it works a little better, but none of the standard agents have great mindscapes really. u.u And we STILL don't have any other beast thiren S-rank besides lycaon

There's a lot of archetypes they've been neglecting. At least we're getting Manato next patch, as down as people are about him being A rank, since he's the second ever Rupture character I can imagine him being at least Piper class.

(hard to imagine her taking over from my Pulchra given that I don't even like using my M2 Lycaon over her. Pulchra is just too good)

Love pulchra! Wish she played well with Evie but she does not, since you need a heavy ex to trigger her aftershocks and with Evelyn, that's only when she breaks her string.

I'm never sure what counts as a heavy ex, it comes up with Yuzuha, too. I know Yixuan does them reliably even with her non-ex special, at least, and that's who I use Pulchra with most often.
