…Wow, that’s a lot! Thanks for reading! Also, I’d like to thank every geniuses who commented to the suggestions in my threads. Their comments were great help in creating them.

Again, comments about my suggestions are always welcome. It will definitely help me to create my future suggestions!!

Really like your twist on weave!

Im going to rank your suggestions by the following metric:

Rating	Variants	Notes
++ (might be a bit overtuned or too good, or simply doesn't need the buff)	Feathered Edges, Bad Ms. Frosty, Shadow ops	FE: makes her a second makima but more safe, already has rift use and the best perfect block ability. while she can be changed, she is far from useless, and this buff would make her maybe too good still. BMF: same thing. She could be made better but definitely doesn't need it to be useful. SO: same thing, would also probably lag the game.
+ (great balancing, needs the change, fun)	Risky Ginger, Parasite Weave, Dragon Brawler, Untouchable, Chameleon Twist, Ms. Trial	RG: seems fun, dmark is very good for parasoul, but this seems better/ more fun. PW: said it before will say it again: cool change. UT: might not be that great on defense still but she'd be great support depending on how it interacts with reistance and having accuracy already.
- (still does rather poor compared to others; not the direction I would go in)	Reimaged, Firefly, Temple Tyrant	REI: This would mostly buff her defense, while she needs offensive buffs imo. I would still change the first ability. FF: First ability is definitely needed, but second ability would be near useless (she isn't going to die while blocking and healing 6% a second, if anything she'd get one shot on block when above this threshold. TT: shes offense, autoblock isnt going to help her that much.
-- (still underperforming, bad)	Heavy Handed, Heavy Metal	Both Heavy diamonds need way more utility to be any useful. More damage =/= More useful. (armor gain is simply for more damage for instance)
0 (no real opinion)	Last Hope, Mega Sonic, Idol threat, Princess Pride, No Egrets	LH: would this really change that much? Do think element exclusives aren't made to be game defining good to lower the feeling of unjustice for not getting them

Hope this feedback is somewhat helpful!

Thank you for your comment! I’ll answer to some of them:

- I personally don't think all variants need to be offensive. See Blue Screen, Splitting Image or Assasin’s Greed etc. Their sigs are completely defensive, not suitable for offense. Would like to see more fighters that are completely defensive imo.

- For Reimaged, I made her adjustments with defensive strength in mind, but with this adjustment, it can be expected that she can play an active role as a "revenger" on the offensive side, like Megalomaniac or Dark Might. Also, her Sig2 is a great match for Megalomaniac herself with 2nd marquee!

- For Heavy Handed, she is a fighter that specializes in charge attacks, and since she needs to repeat them multiple times to inflict high damage, I thought it would be a good idea to add a scaling effect that would allow her to grow along with that. I know it is just a 50% increase and death mark is enough, but since many fighters have death mark, I’d like to see other better way to buff her with scaling effect. Want to hear other people’s comments about her…

-For Heavy Metal, I personally don’t want to change his performance very much, add him a little buff to make it easier to inflict bonus damage. His performance wasn't that bad before the A-train change, so If you consider that any BBs can activate A-train-like abilities, it doesn't seem so bad, does it?

I agree with the Untouchable Peacock buff, It makes her stand out from That's all folks, those two are way to similar and would add more uniqueness and strategy with it, it be a first Gold support Peacock which is a plus. I like your other suggestions, they actually would make Useless fighters be more viable which would help newer players.

Fair, but both Splitting and AG are useful on offense too as niche selections for 1. precision fukua or 2. insane regen for reflect. Only being defensive seems more as an ability for a silver (resident evil, treble) While even diamonds like model leader provide some sort of support on offense (debuff clear, free buff). Investing 5m coins (and 10m+ coin on a defensive set) just to never be able to use the variant yourself seems like bad design, but thats subjective of course.

If you consider that any BBs can activate A-train-like abilities, it doesn't seem so bad, does it?

gaining armor would just increase the blockbuster damage, hence my previous comment:

More damage =/= More useful. (armor gain is simply for more damage for instance)

Don't get me wrong though, I do agree that he should be able to gain his effect himself, but just armor and effectively specific enrage stacks doesn't cut it.
