Question regarding GNB Bloodfest

[Jojokomoko]

Hello, I need a little advice on this skill.

So I've been using Bloodfest during my opener and noticed that it doesn't line up with the time when no mercy is available to use again.

Should I always save up bloodfest for every No mercy or should I use it every time it's available?

Depends on the fight, sometimes you have to hold it off for a second. I personally save it for when I'm either about to enter no mercy or when I want cartridges asap and know my gnashing fang is off cd. I've been between 2 different openers atm as well so, honestly I probably don't know when a prime time for it should be.

You should use it every 3rd No Mercy window, and in between. In short, "every time it's available".

If you wanna make use of party buffs, the big ones are every 3 min, every 2nd Bloodfest, and every 3rd No Mercy is also 3 min.
You should hold it if you run with a static party that delays their buffs, otherwise use it asap.

Please note that this is true only in a vacuum (100% uptime theory). As Valic said, it depends on the fight. Downtime can reallign No Mercy and Bloodfest, and then it's indeed better to hold it a few seconds. You wouldn't use Gnashing Fang combo 10s before No Mercy is ready either
