So my SDE pick is gonna time out soon, and I’m kind of at a loss for who to pick. I’ve narrowed it to the three mentioned, but am unsure which way to go.

Yakumo seems particularly risky with his self-harm mechanic, so I’m thinking that his isn’t a great YOLO choice.

Iphi is a shade setter, and has the blood contract thing that should help me with bosses (I’m not a power player by any stretch), while Sesta is a powerful nuke and wind setter.

Does anyone have any (all?) these characters and able to offer some more insight? I’m F2P outside SDEs, so getting characters is very random for me.

    Not sure what happened with your connection/Kbin there, but this posted four times.

    I’d probably say Iphi of those three. Her blood contract is somewhat ridiculous. I have absolutely gone into fights quite lazily and not sufficiently mitigated damage, or made mistakes that have gotten people killed, and they just pop straight back up again. She does combo with Yakumo extremely well also, but if you can only have one or the other, I feel like Iphi will get you further. Also, the design of her character quest is quite interesting.

    I think we should be getting the free multi post-update for completing the survey if you did that, so if your SDE lasts long enough, you could see whether that decreases your options at all, but that would probably be too lucky!

      lol. It kept telling me it 50x’d out and the threads weren’t updating either. I’ll see if I can fix it.

      Thanks for the advice. I did do the survey, but haven’t gotten the pull yet. I’ve been trying to get Sesta to no success. Iphi giving you extra chances is REALLY tempting. Maybe that’s the answer right there.

      EDIT:
      So the multiple posts were in my user view, but still not in the magazine for me. Oh kbin. :]
      Okay, extras should be deleted. Hopefully. Maybe. I think…

      Exactly this, written well and succinctly!:-)

      I will say that Sesta is more “fun”, yet dependent upon others to more fully bring her out.

      And yet Yakumo also offers his pet for use to the entire party, which can also be very helpful, but especially in conjunction with himself to mitigate what would otherwise be his shortcomings.
