Can you talk wbout the lugas missed in the tales of nekoluga post? Im talking about Bikiniluga and Betrothed Balaluga, of course. One is a wierd surge unit. and the other is a slightly more offense driven CC Unit. If you can, the PC exclusive would be interesting to discuss too, although I'ven't a clue if a stat block exists about it. I think its mimiluga? Dont quote me on that.
didn't talk about em cuz they aren't in the normal banner lol, i'll probably talk about PC exclusives at a later date (it is called mimiluga you are correct) but summerluga and betrothed balaluga (henceforth referred to as weddingluga)? absolutely
Tumblr media Tumblr media
unit stats shown at level 30 because you aren't gonna boost them lmao
summerluga's true form requires three aku seeds, three epic fruits, and three red stones. weddingluga currently lacks a true form.
summerluga is a nekoluga variant that trades the KB + freeze of nekoluga for a level eight surge (level five in second form). while this seems decent in concept, its surge spawns from 150 to 1050 range. for reference, asukasli's surge is considered inconsistent, and its spawn range is one of her major flaws. her surge spawns from 400 to 800 range.
while this does make summerluga's surge inconsistent as fuck, it comes with some of the same benefits as asukasli. it can, rarely, hit backliners. it can, rarely, boost dps at the same range as the base attack. it can, rarely, create a wall that will permaKB a high knockback threat such as brollows or puffington. however, it's just too unreliable. if you need backliner DPS, you can bring a better wave/surge/LD sniper. if you need frontline DPS, most units can provide some form of it. anything that summerluga, with its 20400 health and 650 range, with no immunities, no trait target, and 19 second time between attacks can do, something else can do better. one of the worst ubers in the game. decent meme tho
weddingluga is a balaluga variant that trades in the uptime for multihit and actual DPS. as you may remember from the lugas review, balaluga has 28.9 dps at level 60+70. not 28.9k. 28.9. weddingluga has 3.2k dps at level 30 if all attacks hit, giving it decent chip damage and the potential to clear peons so that your attackers are more likely to hit their intended target. its freeze uptime is actually slightly higher than piccolan's despite the lower freeze time, due to its faster attack rate. however, it's still deeply flawed.
one of its biggest issues is its omnistrike. its standing range is 640. its three hits all have different omni, with the first hitting from -310 to 540, the second from -635 to 590, and the third from -960 to 640. while the backwards omni is only relevant versus zombies (and in some really weird niche situations with base hit and an enemy like angel doge or brollow that goes fast enough to go past it), it's nice to have, and can help in stages with a zombie threat or zombie peons. the issue, however, is that the omni doesn't reach to standing range, and doesn't go past its standing range (which happens to be rather low for a variant of a superbackliner, at 300 lower than piccolan). ponos could've theoretically made up for this somewhat by giving it piercing range, so that it can CC past its initial target. this does not happen. the omni actively makes weddingluga worse. if the enemy is at its standing range, it will hit once, giving it only a third of its total damage and dps. this hurts.
its multihit honestly holds it back even more. its freeze is only on the third hit, which matches up with standing range, but if either of the first two hits damage the enemy enough for a KB, the freeze won't connect, leaving the enemy to come back and block your attackers from hitting any frozen enemies. this will also prevent the other hit(s) from connecting, decreasing damage further (all hits connect in under a third of a second). multihit on a freeze unit can work, as seen with chronos, but it just holds it back, as does its omni. not a good CC unit, but can work in a pinch.
tl;dr: summerluga is too inconsistent to be any semblance of good, weddingluga could've been decent but they fucked it over, seasonal uber + luga + variant of an already not great uber in summerluga's case hurts

S/I Q&A
Original: https://www.tumblr.com/s-e-l-f-s-h-i-p/188287128885/si-ask-meme
Proship/variants DNI
Doin this for my Legacy of Kain self-insert, Shadow.
What is your s/i's name & pronouns? Shadow, he/vamp/bats/cats
How similar is your s/i to you? Are they a carbon copy, completely different or a mix of the two? He represents a lot of my emotions, traumas, experiences, etc. Physically, he's a bit like me- pale, chubby, dark hair. Otherwise in that regard, he's an 'idealized' version of myself- aesthetics I find pleasing and whatnot.
Does your s/i have a full backstory yet? Or is it still in the works? If it's done can we see it? A full backstory, not much written down.
How did your s/i feel when they first met your f/o(s)? How do they feel about them now? When Shadow first met Kain, he was afraid at first... but somehow the two simply clicked. Shadow adores Kain with his entire being- in many ways, he owes Kain. Kain saved him from many demons, both metaphorically and literal.
Do you speak about your s/i in first or third person? Shadow is me, me is Shadow.
Has your s/i undergone any design/story changes since they were first made? A few, but the primary premise has remained the same- smol but fierce husband to Kain.
Give us 3 random facts abt your s/i! He's a goth, through and through. He's unable to sire other vampires due to his unfortunate experiences as a fledgling leaving him with 'weak' blood. He has separation anxiety, primarily with Kain. But his other safe people are always there to support him.
Does your s/i have any kind of powers? Yes! A variety of dark gifts from vampirism (standard gifts, blending in with the darkness, seer abilities). Many magical practices he's learned over the years. And, due to the falling of the Pillars, the Dimension's balance is wayyy off kilter. So sometimes he pops in and out of the Spectral Realm, very confused about the entire experience.
Does your s/i have any hobbies that you don't have? Shadow paints! I mean, I do occasionally paint on some occasions, but he's actually dedicated time to learning the entire practice. He's an oil painter, and the drawbacks don't affect him much as he's a vampire.
How many s/i's do you have? Do you use the same s/i for multiple f/os or make completely different ones? Depends on the media and what I'm feeling.
Does your s/i have one outfit they're always seen in or multiple? Mostly gothic outfits, but the primary one I picture him in: black tunic-like shirt with a red corset-like vest, leather pants, black leather boots, and a black lace caplet. (Can you tell what my favorite color is? lol)
Can we see a picture of your s/i?
Tumblr media
Would you ever want to cosplay as your s/i? Yes!
Does your s/i get jealous easily? ...yes. Very much so.
Does your s/i interact with any other self shippers s/i's? Yes! Working on a verse with my best friends @monkie-keebs @the-deej-monkie
