Thread: Patch 2.56 comming April 21

Probably T10-T12 echo, possibly nerfs... Though I don't see how 10 and 11 could be nerfed without making them absolute cakewalks. It'd be so fun if they removed tether + charge on 10 and thus made it the new T6.

They were talking about Cyclonic Chaos from T10, not Nanospore Jet from T11.

Anyway, it really is difficult to imagine much nerfs to the mechanics due to the way FCoB was designed. Adjusting them would be a really difficult task for the developers as to not disturb how they work. Heck, most of the fights in FCoB re-use the mechanics in the first phase, tweak it a little by adding something extra, then calling it a day. Damage-wise, like I said previously, is pretty much a given when it comes to nerfs.

Edit:
Just to reiterate on the whole 're-using mechanics' part (red for newly introduced mechanics);

FCoB - Turn 1

Phase 1

• Wild Charge

Phase 3 (After first add set)

• Wild Charge
• Heat Lightning

Phase 5 (After second add set)

• Wild Charge
• Heat Lightning
• Cyclonic Chaos

FCoB - Turn 2

Phase 2 (After Barofield)

• Seed of the Seas and Seed of the Rivers
• Nerve Gas
• Secondary Head and Primary head

Phase 4 (After Adds)

• Seed of the Seas and Seed of the Rivers
• Nerve Gas
• Secondary Head and Primary head
• Nanospore Jet

I want to take this moment to applaud the developers for adding literally one mechanic that completely changes the way you interact with the other mechanics in previous phases while easing you into the new mechanic. I think that's the part I like most about FCoB.

Or maybe it's not FCoB that's getting nerfs, maybe it's T5 and T9? I heard a lot of people are still stuck there...

i will say the same thing i keep saying for my friends in FC (and iw as saying this for 2.55) do not get your hopes up for poetic cap unlock, just treat it as if it isn't going to be un capped if it is Brilliant if not oh well you weren't worried :3

I'm still on my Novus. But I know it's wishful thinking to have Light values doubled yet again...
