[Full-Stop Office Fixer] Heathcliff NEW!

Full-Stop Heathcliff (FS Heathcliff) is the winner of the 5th Walpurgisnacht Event, dishing out great damage by himself constantly. He is unique among the Ammo archetype, as when he runs out of Ammo, he retreats from combat, similar to Devyat Identities. When he returns, he will reload and recover all his Ammo, except for his Special Ammo. This makes it so that running out of Ammo during a particularly long fight isn’t as bad as a consequence.

FS Heathcliff starts with 10 Ammo, which forces you to play around when you spend that Ammo to get full use out of FS Heathcliff before he retreats. Luckily enough, if you activate his Passive and just use his Defensive Skills to preserve Ammo, he will gain 10 Poise Potency, Haste, 1 Pierce Power Up, and apply 3 Poise Potency to an ally, with additional Poise Potency coming from the Evade maxing out at 9. Aside from that, FS Heathcliff can gain Concentration [Sniper] at the end of every turn up to 4 maximum, which is consumed on Skill 3 usage.

The main selling point of this ID, excluding the high damage S2, is Atelier Logic Bullet, which enhances his S3. This enhanced Skill 3 is among the highest damage skills in the game even for a single Coin, with a total of 240 Base Damage with all conditionals fulfilled. Although, this all comes at the cost of only being able to use it ONCE so make sure it counts.

With all that being said, let’s go over his skills:

• Skill 1, Return Fire - 3 Coin Skill - Max roll 14. Preferably you’d want to use Defensive Skill over this as it consumes 3 Ammo, especially if you have FS Hong Lu on the team to not lose out on too much damage.

• Skill 2, Headshot - 1 Coin Skill - Max roll 22. Allows him to deal quite good damage and debuff enemies with Pierce Fragility which when paired with the Haste he gains can net a lot of value. It also becomes on demand when he is paired with FS Hong Lu as he can cheat it out.

• Skill 3, Goin’ for the Bullseye - 1 Coin Skill - Max roll 26. Similar to Skill 2. This skill consumes all Concentration [Sniper] on self to gain up to 8 Poise Potency and deals +(value consumed * 12.5)% more damage. Combined with the other multipliers it can deal a massive amount of damage although most of the time you won’t be seeing the normal Skill 3 unless you play very conservatively.

• Skill 3-1, AL-HV Pulverisation Round - 1 Coin Skill - Max roll 33. This skill consumes all Concentration [Sniper] on self to gain up to 8 Poise Potency and deals +(value consumed * 25)% more damage. Just like the normal Skill 3 but even more cracked as it has way more damage amplification. Essentially a button for screwing one particular enemy.

FS Heathcliff also has extremely good synergy with another ID, Full-Stop Rep Hong Lu, serving to deal more damage on whoever FS Hong Lu attacks with certain skills and prompting FS Hong Lu to attack a target that FS Heathcliff evades. 

Your general game plan with FS Heathcliff is either making good use of his bullets by never using his S1, evading in place of that, and shooting enemies down with either Skill 2 or Skill 3 and retreating him to empower FS Hong Lu if he is on the field.

Notable E.G.O Synergies

• Bodysack - Gains 3 Haste next turn. Very easy damage bonuses on the speed conditionals on his S2 and S3.

• Fell Bullet - Since the rate at which FS Heathcliff gains Poise is exceptionally good, Fell Bullet would have an easier time making full use of the extra damage from Torn Memory, giving you up to 3 more bullets for the encounter on Crit Kill.
