Future of Coil in DF

[JayCommon]

Just my speculation here....

No amount of echo buff will allow people to get past T7. If you can't handle the mechanics, 400% echo won't get you a win. I think you are right with your speculation, in that when 3rd coil releases then 2nd coil will be put in DF with echo. I also think SE will continue putting the turns in DF, I just don't see a random group with no coordination passing T7.

Unless they severely nerf the mechanics of the fight, I would go so far as to say that a DF win with completely random people would never be possible. There are so many ways to easily mess up, and even if you get 7 experienced people who have beat it before that 1 person who has no experience can wipe everyone every time. I have DF'ed T5 before to try and help people get a win when I was bored and most others I group with that have knowledge of the fight just leave after 1-2 tries without a win. This will happen exponentially more with T7, because it can still be a headache for statics if you get bad RNG or push a phase at an inopportune time.

I also agree with Radacci. DF or not I don't think anyone should be allowed to just 'skip' T7-8 to get to T9, but I was already at T5 when 2.2 hit so idk if that's how it will work or not.

TL;DR : I think SE will continue to put old coil turns in the DF after they have been out for 6 months to make them accessible to the general public, but I don't think the general public will have much of a chance at 2nd coil turns with random groups. Lots of coordination is needed and no amount of echo buff will ever be the determining factor in a T7 win. You might be able to push phases faster, but you will still have to deal with them.

Which is how it should be. Means they made mechanics that you actually have to follow instead of just ignoring and burning through everything.

Totally agree.
