So we’ve hit that time of the season, where everyone’s wrapping up on their lunacy grinds to snag the seasonal IDs before they’re locked away by Kim Ji-hoon himself. This time last season we were graced by N Sinclair “The One Who Shall Grip” and this time around most people were eager for the announcement of a Farmwatch ID, potentially for Outis. Unfortunately, with the announcement of W Corp Yi Sang a few days ago, I think that our collective dreams are crushed. But…
This Could Be A Huge Win
Besides the amazingly flashy animations shown off in the reveal, we got a look at some of the effects this new ID can bring to the table. I gotta say, as a charge/rupture enjoyer, I am insanely hyped for this. A self-contained charge ID with a strong focus on inflicting and abusing rupture count, that funds his own Dimension Shredder EGO. It’s a lot to take in and understand, not as bad as the Walpurgis Night IDs, but more comparable to Yi Sang’s own Spicebush ID.
I’ve been abusing Uptie 4 Spicebush since release, and it’s a serious contender for a slot in the top 3 solo IDs. While I don’t think this new W Corp ID will topple the sheer versatility of Spicebush, I think it will fit neatly into charge and rupture teams as a top damaging option. Seven Yi Sang missed the mark for rupture-abuse teams, and I think this new ID will slot in very nicely amongst Seven Heathcliff and Faust.
Potential Use-Cases and Builds
Once I roll the new ID, the first thing I’ll try him with is a full charge team. I’m thinking W Don, Ryoshu, Hong Lu and Rabbit Heathcliff. While we don’t know stats like the exact numbers or offense levels, I think it’s safe to assume that Yi Sang will fit the role of a damage-boosting support unit that can pump out sufficient numbers and solid clashes.
Overall, despite the lack of a Farmwatch ID this season, I’m extremely hopeful for what this ID will do to the already meta-defining charge teams. I eagerly awaited the release of Youtuber ESGOO’s rant about charge once this ID was announced, and I took a sadistic pleasure as I watched it pop up in my inbox (On a side note, please go watch ESGOO’s content, he’s an amazing Limbus content creator). The animations of his skills + Dimension Shredder funding alone sold me, but I think the idea behind a charge/rupture hybrid support unit definitely has its niche.
