I feel like my Raw Nerf Painwheel does A LOT of damage now but dies SUPER easy.
I guess that's the trade-off.
But still feel like my Gold Valentine is my weakest gold character out of the lot.
Really itching to get my hands on a Gold Parasoul so I can test her... but after playing the silver No Egrets version I know she will be OP and GOAT anyway
Yup, Painwheel is a lot better now that they've buffed her launcher speed.
As for Valentine, she's not very useful unless you equip her with a very specific set of moves: EKG Flatliner, Forbidden Procedure, at least two of the Countervenoms, and if you choose to have a special it has to be Dead Cross, cuz every other special does literally no damage and will often be blocked.
In my opinion, Primed Parasoul is a better version of That's All Folks Peacock. Parasoul is guaranteed to get Enrage from spawning tears while Peacock has to rely on chance and taking many hits. I once remotely detonated a few tears on a Big Band in PF and it instantly KO'd him. Also detonating tears for Primed inflicts bleed on your enemy, which is super useful against high HP enemies.
As for Princess Pride, she currently has the best self heal and is still quite good after being nerfed. In some ways Primed is better because you won't need to focus on healing if you beat the opponent before they do much damage.
How powerful is No Egrets? Once I managed to beat an entire team of over 20K FS with a single gold 3700 FS No Egrets Parasoul. She's definitely up there in the tier list (which I'll update soon) and is one of the few silvers worthy of evolving to gold.
