@@therealESGOOhey, are you planning to use an uptie IV edgar gregor, or an uptie III edgar gregor? I'm asking mostly because on uptie III, edgar gregor takes away 7 sp from one of your allies instead of 5 sp that he would take at uptie IV, so using an uptie III gregor would be worse than using a max uptie gregor

@@aegisScale His S3 used to give him Tremor Count below 10 tremor, and he was almost useable, S3 into S2 for 10 tremor Count and 4 coin 11 rolling S1 was actually fine, then he got bugfixed and he gives himself tremor potency bruh.
@@rexofired I actually like that he gives himself tremor potentency. When I use him I play the long game of building up something like 8 tremor count, use their S3 to give them 10 tremor potency, then move on to build the rest of their tremor count. Next time I use their S3 the boss now has 20 or so counts of 10 tremor added to whatever they have. Though I will admit, I avoid their S1 like the plague.
I do use Soda Lu in Mirror Dungeons, but never for the healing. It's usually "Oh, I'm about to use an envy resonance effect, and need as much Envy this turn as possible. Time to pull out the worst EGO in the game to make all the others better."
@@Judgemental_Bunny We'll Get LCCB Hong Lu tremor/poise ID. Trust. (also yes soda has no tremor burst. just in case you were worried about it having a niche use)
@@nonsensicalhumanoid sadly I think it’ll be detective hong Lu if anything, but complaining about that is like getting a million dollars instead of a million and five dollars. (Though soda and this new ego share the same slot so soda won’t be used lmao)
My only source of healing for most of Railway 2 was Soda Hong Lu. Needless to say, my plan became "don't get hit at all" when I realized my poor situation.
"I have nothing but my sorrow, and I want nothing more. It has been, it still is, faithful to me. Why should I begrudge it, since during the hours, when my soul crushed the depths of my heart, it was seated there beside me? O sorrow, I have ended, you see, by respecting you, because I am certain you will never leave me. Ah, I realize it: your beauty lies in the force of your being. Because I know that on the day of my final agony, you will be there, lying in my sheets, O sorrow, so that you might once again attempt to enter my heart."
I, for one, find a certain beauty in the fact Hong Lu, the man with no bad IDs, got the single worst EGO that reads like a multilayered in-joke. I'm sure he himself appreciates it, too.
ESGOO almost distorting at the mere mention of stew is just keeps getting better 11 minutes and the times stew is mentioned he displays twice as much hate in comparison to the ego of the video lol
It's definitly Soda Lu, at the very least soupclair heals 10 percent hp while Hong lu only gives 8 hp and only if his ego crits! (Although he is mainly used for SP recovery)
Not only that: Hong Lu's ALL identity aren't meet this EGO need： Moon : You need Poise when head hit. Hong Lu : I don't have Poise identity Moon : You need Tremor when tail hit. Hong Lu : well, I'm also don't have Tremor identity Moon : You need Gluttony+Gloom+Envy for activate this EGO Hong Lu : ALL My identity's skill color only match 1of 3 of them
That is something for me to think about since I have a Envy team, and he does have a lot of good IDs. I have do have plenty of E.G.O.'s I need to get first though.
I love Soda EGO so much, afterall, surely it will be a part of your Worst Railway team clear where you must use the EGO... it sounds truly entertaining dear Esgoo esquire
Thats a nice video, however there is many reasons why it doesnt matters for me,i will name 3. First is that Hong Lu's ids are above average consistantly,if not one of the best ids,but egos are like below awerage. Second is you can beat the game as long as you not crippling yourself and reading,if it works,it works. And third is that my love for Hong Lu is undeniable,i will love all of Hong Lu's egos and ids no matter how bad those are for usual player they are,Praise be Hong Lu.
amusing opinion esgoo, unfortunately i am inside your walls with: First Turn Start of an Encounter: all allies gain 4 Poise Potency and +4 Poise Count. When activating Pride Absolute Resonance, all allies gain 2 Poise Potency and +2 Poise Count at Combat Start.
dont forget the GOAT ++ upgrade that makes the potency and count gain go to +3 AND makes the activation condition regular degular old Resonance instead of Absolute Resonance, so you dont even need to line up 3 pride skills in a row and can just have 2 period.
I mean if you count mirror dungeon stuff you can run literally anything and have it work with a little luck. We have to operate as if they're in 'normal' conditions until we know more about specific situation. I mean fuck, I've had W-corp BLEED teams because of ego gifts.
I thought this would be about 4th Match Flame Yi Sang. While I don't think Soda Lu is *good* by any means, I always thought about Soda Lu as a "Fluid Sac we have at home" and I still use Soda Lu in my envy res teams that include Ting Tang Hong Lu. The current Opportunity Cost for equipping Hong Lu with Soda also isn't really that bad at the moment, It's either Soda or Roseate Desires, neither of which are great. Roseate is very niche in what it can do, and while Soda realistically only either heals HP or SP in negligible amounts that is a lot less niche compared to what Roseate can do. The only thing FMF Yi sang has going for it is that it's a 5 attack weight on a TETH and Slash, and it's going up against Wishing Cairn. Who has a higher floor than fmf's ceiling, has 3 attack weight, and is usable for it's EGO passive alone
Change all [On Attack End] into [On Hit] effects and suddenly all healing gets multiplied by the effective Attack Weight, which can go as high as 3, becoming a 90 HP (or SP) heal. Not to say it'll save it by any means, but if we are to explore options that don't involve bringing back the % sign...
0:46 Okay, but to be fair, Molar Ishmael is good enough to make up for the rest of it. A 10-14 Evade is actually extremely useful in the current Canto, because so many enemies can stick down paralyse to force your first evade to roll minimum power.
I like how Lifetime Stew is the EGO version of Mariachi Sinclair. It's objectively bad possibly even the worst but people still love it and or find it funny because of how Sinclair uses it Or maybe its just me, cause i just love how EGO is such a big deal in this game and its this thing that's supposed to peak your fighting capabilities yet LTS Sinclair completely fumbles using it having to catch his breath and regain his bearings everytime its used
Soupclairs passive is actually pretty good for burn teams though, and it can output decent healing if you get lucky. Soda Hong Lu is just atrociously bad.
The only reason I dislike Lifetime Stewclair more than Soda Hong Lu is because back when I was grinding Hell's Chicken, Sinclair only seemed to hit tails, which gives burn to its targets, even if they're allies, and when I got Soda Hong Lu I was at least happy that his tails effect didn't actively damage my team, though nowadays I do think they are both horrible.
9:17 This passive did backfire on me, but I guess since it was after I had won the battle, I guess it doesn't matter that that one fight in Canto 6 overflowed Sunshower Heathcliff's SP.
Funnily enough, SODA RYOSHU WINS ON ANIMATIONS TOO, because when she gets a KILL WITH IT, she sends the target to a fishing boat in the middle of nowhere.
I will now use Soda Hong Lu even more just to spite this man. I don't care that it's bad, it gives Hong Lu a Magical Girl Transformation into a shrimp and that's funny to me.
I really thought it'd be Yi Sang's 4MF because of how BADLY it rolls. Then I got reminded that Soda Hong Lu exists.. Thanks, very cool ESGOO for making me remember that cursed EGO :)
I like how ESGOO Waited for PM to announce who we would get in warpulgisnatch so they wouldnt blindsing his video with them releasing a poise hong lu id
Sinclair eternal stew corrosion: I’ll target person with lowest max health Don Quixote: SINCLAIR SINCLAIR WAIT WAIT WAIT NOOOOOOO- *gets staggered +50000 *implodes
absolute fucking whiplash having this open in the background during the premiere, and showing a friend some roblox lobotomy corp stuff, and working with opened can of wellcheers we were like "where the fuck is that music coming from" and i just hear esgoo go "it's soda"
Honestly I have to think this is an intentional joke. He gets a magical girl transformation in his animation, he uses *two* statuses he doesn't have any current support for (poise and tremor on his corrosion), the healing is literally like he's just giving them a little sip from a tiny soda can... and honestly it fits the lore of the abnormality! In Lobcorp the soda vending machine was a goofy, zayin grade abno that was almost impossible to fail at, and even if you did fail the employee wouldn't die but be whisked away to work on a shrimp fishing boat (which considering the workplace safety standards of L Corp could almost be called favorable). It was and always has been a goofy borderline joke existence, and I think that was reflected really well here. It felt like they were saying "don't take it too seriously" and yknow, it's honestly pretty funny
Did you just turn British at 7:40 just for one funny? I respect it, honestly. Having seen your last meme review with Welvader and the others, I find it hilarious you have the same joke meme voice for Heathcliff that I do with my friends. The over-the-top cockney accent sounding like a hooligan
Hello goo man, this is a bit late but I was thinking about Soda Hong Lu because of this video and I wanted to hear your thoughts about this idea I had to make the EGO better and more interesting. For the awakening, how about making it on hit instead of on attack end? This would make the healing notably better as with no crit it would be 45HP to 2 allies which is still below average but much better than it currently is, and with crit it would be 69HP to 2 allies which is actually quite average (I'd say average health is around 200HP, and Pursuance heals 30% so that'd be 60HP; with excellent HP (around 250HP), it'd be 75HP). However, what I'm interested in is the potential the SP healing would have. It could heal 45SP to 2 allies with no crit and 69SP to 2 allies with crit. Obviously, this is REALLY GOOD and would give this EGO a niche that hasn't been filled by anything else in the game, (relatively) single-target high SP healing. And because of its high SP healing along with its moderate cost, one might be inclined to use this in the beginning of fights to jumpstart their SP economy which would mean that the passive the EGO has would also become better due to a more cohesive design. The best part about all of this is that it's so simple, it's just changing the on attack end to on hit, nothing is drastically changing in what the EGO itself does, it's just effectively making the numbers better in a more roundabout way. Also, we have nothing that gives allies SP on hit so it'll make Soda Hong Lu more unique as well. As for the corrosion, there's the simple boring idea and the hopefully unlikely idea. The simple idea would be to make the actual power on the EGO better (either change the coin power to be -7 or change the skill power to be 33, both lead to the base becoming an 18 instead of a 10) and change the bind from a 1 to a 2. That's it, boring but it would make the corroded EGO not completely dogshit and instead only slightly dogshit. The more cool and unlikely idea is to not only add the things from the boring idea, but to also add a reversed effect that harms those who are hit instead of healing allies. On tails hit, deal HP damage to target; on heads hit, deal SP damage to target; on crit hit, deal HP and SP damage to target. It's pretty basic, but it would give the corroded EGO some much needed damage or utility and it thematically makes more sense than the current corrosion we have for this EGO. Appreciate you reading this if you did, I would like to know if I'm healing everyone 10% of my max HP or giving everyone 7 burn. tldr; SODA❗❗❗
I was just talking about this exact topic with my friend yesterday, it popped up during a conversation about how forgettable/unused some ids and ego are and it sat right there next to diecei Yi Sang for us.
As bad as Soda Hong Lu is I still have to give the title of worst EGO to Soup Don as it is currently the only EGO in the game to have a passive that is an active detriment unless you only intend to spam it.
I'm so glad this E.G.O exists in the game because it''s magical girl shrimp Hong Lu and that will never not be funny next to all the terrible things that have happened in this story
Is it really worse than Roseate Desire Ishmael, which has a negative coin awakening and a positive coin corrosion? It applies two defensive current-turn effects, and is an EGO for Ishmael, whose ID speeds tend to be below-average and don't have access to haste (at least this was the case before Maid Ishmael). It also applies bind next turn... but only 3, half of what Snagharpoon, her ZAYIN EGO, applies. It also competes with Capote, which is actually a really good EGO that applies teamwide wrath damage up (and wrath fragility on corrosion).
I personally just find it funny that between Hell's Chicken and the Boatworks event, the on banner event EGO for both were either niche or terrible. Stew back on its release I could *almost* see a use case when the encounters had less health than sinners by default and were kind of squishy. The clash potential was vexing, but workable. Soda... Had the clashing potential, sure. But the healing and targets were lackluster and the effects are everywhere and also... Just small. The tragedy of Soda is that it was an EGO that shined in the way a lucky penny would due to the sheer absence of healing options on its release for sinner teams that didn't center around gloom, lust and Pride. The only other option at the time was soup. But even that was unreliable given that during those levels, the burn could stagger you out and make you regret using it. Then fae lantern Sinclair came out. This EGO has aged about as well as Blade Lineage Sinclair and every other Meursault ID that isn't Blade Lineage Instructor. In that they're technically usable... But there are significantly better options.
A broken clock is right twice a day. Soda Hong Lu actually managed to save my run in mdh once (with nebulizer). I needed to get just a tiny bit of healing for another turn against prophet, otherwise i'd die of burn (it was a disaster) and if i didn't bring ish or yi sang, maybe i'd even need to use his corrosion to bind a couple of other bosses So, honestly, no matter how bad this ego might seem, even it can do well. Even it has a very, very specific but still neat niche of being useful if you don't have anything else for the job For me personally, Lifetime Stew Sinclair is worse EDIT: actually, i just remembered that corrosion attacks targets with least hp... oh well
Soupclair and Soda Lu are the obvious candidates, but I'm going to guess something perhaps a little bit unexpected with Garden of Thorns, which is just horribly designed in every way.
Y'all actin like Garden has any slot competition and is impossible to fuel, it ain't hard to build it up in normal human battles, it rolls pretty good and has high weight with no thread investment. I really don't get the hate.
garden of thorns isn't bad it's just its competition is blind obsession, sunshower, and recently mister 20 self bind over here. if it wasn't a waw it would seem a lot better

9:17 This passive did backfire on me, but I guess since it was after I had won the battle, I guess it doesn't matter that that one fight in Canto 6 overflowed Sunshower Heathcliff's SP.
Ok, you have a fair point, and it does make sense
However sailor moon transformation scene
I guess it wasn't so Shrimple after all...
The Umineko ost in the background,,, thats so awesom,e
Oh! Finally, I can be on time for an ESGOO video!
He squeezed all the good out of this ego and poured it over his IDs, like some sort of carbonated beverage container
Funnily enough, SODA RYOSHU WINS ON ANIMATIONS TOO, because when she gets a KILL WITH IT, she sends the target to a fishing boat in the middle of nowhere.
There's one thing this EGO is good for, and it's summoning ESGOO's wrath, manifesting this funny video.
the 15 healing on soda hong lu has saved my characters a billion times more than fluid sac faust has
I will now use Soda Hong Lu even more just to spite this man. I don't care that it's bad, it gives Hong Lu a Magical Girl Transformation into a shrimp and that's funny to me.
Okay but counterpoint, he’s our magical girl princess and I can’t disrespect him.
I really thought it'd be Yi Sang's 4MF because of how BADLY it rolls.
Then I got reminded that Soda Hong Lu exists..
Thanks, very cool ESGOO for making me remember that cursed EGO :)
I like how ESGOO Waited for PM to announce who we would get in warpulgisnatch so they wouldnt blindsing his video with them releasing a poise hong lu id
I really wasn't epecting to see a Binding of Isaac Reference at 4:20, but here we are. I will become back my Lunacy ESGOO
Sinclair eternal stew corrosion: I’ll target person with lowest max health
Don Quixote: SINCLAIR SINCLAIR WAIT WAIT WAIT NOOOOOOO-
*gets staggered +50000
*implodes
Bro hated the ego so much that he doesn’t even need an intro, that’s crazy
The umineko ost 🎉❤🎉
I use it because I love Hong Lu and magical girls transformation
I remember you talking about this in the podcast that got wiped... It would be really nice to have rn :(
absolute fucking whiplash having this open in the background during the premiere, and showing a friend some roblox lobotomy corp stuff, and working with opened can of wellcheers
we were like "where the fuck is that music coming from" and i just hear esgoo go "it's soda"
Now watch the Esgoo Curse work it's voodoo and then honglu NOT only gets a baller Poise ID, but also an amazing upgrade on Uptie 5.
Bro fooled everyone and railed Hong Lu for 11 straight minutes
My lawyer tells me to reword this due to "implications" however I will not
Honestly I have to think this is an intentional joke. He gets a magical girl transformation in his animation, he uses *two* statuses he doesn't have any current support for (poise and tremor on his corrosion), the healing is literally like he's just giving them a little sip from a tiny soda can... and honestly it fits the lore of the abnormality! In Lobcorp the soda vending machine was a goofy, zayin grade abno that was almost impossible to fail at, and even if you did fail the employee wouldn't die but be whisked away to work on a shrimp fishing boat (which considering the workplace safety standards of L Corp could almost be called favorable). It was and always has been a goofy borderline joke existence, and I think that was reflected really well here. It felt like they were saying "don't take it too seriously" and yknow, it's honestly pretty funny
Prepare an apology form for soda Hong Lu.
THAT'S MY PRINCE OF DOGSHIT OFFENSE LEVEL!!!!!
Man, imagine after this video Hong Lu gets a poise ID on the upcoming Walpurgisnacht Banner, or even the next 0.5 event just to make Soda crit
that potential man of ego segment got me fearing for my life
Yo is that the Umineko: Golden Fantasia theme at 3:30.
Dont tell me dudes got his toe in the FGC as well PM Stuff.
Did you just turn British at 7:40 just for one funny?
I respect it, honestly. Having seen your last meme review with Welvader and the others, I find it hilarious you have the same joke meme voice for Heathcliff that I do with my friends. The over-the-top cockney accent sounding like a hooligan
but... but Soda Hong Lu's animation is so fun...
happy maria jumpscare
The ONLY reason that comes in mind for PM to add this EGO is to alleviate the amount of good Hong Lu IDs
You forgot fourth match yi sang. 20 clash power, w ryo, ting tang, and yuri faust can outroll it
Hello goo man, this is a bit late but I was thinking about Soda Hong Lu because of this video and I wanted to hear your thoughts about this idea I had to make the EGO better and more interesting. For the awakening, how about making it on hit instead of on attack end? This would make the healing notably better as with no crit it would be 45HP to 2 allies which is still below average but much better than it currently is, and with crit it would be 69HP to 2 allies which is actually quite average (I'd say average health is around 200HP, and Pursuance heals 30% so that'd be 60HP; with excellent HP (around 250HP), it'd be 75HP). However, what I'm interested in is the potential the SP healing would have. It could heal 45SP to 2 allies with no crit and 69SP to 2 allies with crit. Obviously, this is REALLY GOOD and would give this EGO a niche that hasn't been filled by anything else in the game, (relatively) single-target high SP healing. And because of its high SP healing along with its moderate cost, one might be inclined to use this in the beginning of fights to jumpstart their SP economy which would mean that the passive the EGO has would also become better due to a more cohesive design. The best part about all of this is that it's so simple, it's just changing the on attack end to on hit, nothing is drastically changing in what the EGO itself does, it's just effectively making the numbers better in a more roundabout way. Also, we have nothing that gives allies SP on hit so it'll make Soda Hong Lu more unique as well.
As for the corrosion, there's the simple boring idea and the hopefully unlikely idea. The simple idea would be to make the actual power on the EGO better (either change the coin power to be -7 or change the skill power to be 33, both lead to the base becoming an 18 instead of a 10) and change the bind from a 1 to a 2. That's it, boring but it would make the corroded EGO not completely dogshit and instead only slightly dogshit. The more cool and unlikely idea is to not only add the things from the boring idea, but to also add a reversed effect that harms those who are hit instead of healing allies. On tails hit, deal HP damage to target; on heads hit, deal SP damage to target; on crit hit, deal HP and SP damage to target. It's pretty basic, but it would give the corroded EGO some much needed damage or utility and it thematically makes more sense than the current corrosion we have for this EGO.
Appreciate you reading this if you did, I would like to know if I'm healing everyone 10% of my max HP or giving everyone 7 burn.
tldr; SODA❗❗❗
I was just talking about this exact topic with my friend yesterday, it popped up during a conversation about how forgettable/unused some ids and ego are and it sat right there next to diecei Yi Sang for us.
Lmao was that a Binding of Isaac reference during the lifetime stew segment? Peak.
Imagine if when threadspin level 5 comes out and it gets percentage and also is always a crit.
The esgoo curse striked again, we got a double ego banner.
This was my only healing E.G.O up to Canto VI
As bad as Soda Hong Lu is I still have to give the title of worst EGO to Soup Don as it is currently the only EGO in the game to have a passive that is an active detriment unless you only intend to spam it.
I'm so glad this E.G.O exists in the game because it''s magical girl shrimp Hong Lu and that will never not be funny next to all the terrible things that have happened in this story
you gave me a headache and took my will to live as I learned this
I'll see you in therapy, Esgoo
Is it really worse than Roseate Desire Ishmael, which has a negative coin awakening and a positive coin corrosion? It applies two defensive current-turn effects, and is an EGO for Ishmael, whose ID speeds tend to be below-average and don't have access to haste (at least this was the case before Maid Ishmael). It also applies bind next turn... but only 3, half of what Snagharpoon, her ZAYIN EGO, applies.
It also competes with Capote, which is actually a really good EGO that applies teamwide wrath damage up (and wrath fragility on corrosion).
I can’t wait for the soda hong Lu buff now that the Goo has talked about it
I personally just find it funny that between Hell's Chicken and the Boatworks event, the on banner event EGO for both were either niche or terrible.
Stew back on its release I could *almost* see a use case when the encounters had less health than sinners by default and were kind of squishy. The clash potential was vexing, but workable.
Soda... Had the clashing potential, sure. But the healing and targets were lackluster and the effects are everywhere and also... Just small.
The tragedy of Soda is that it was an EGO that shined in the way a lucky penny would due to the sheer absence of healing options on its release for sinner teams that didn't center around gloom, lust and Pride.
The only other option at the time was soup. But even that was unreliable given that during those levels, the burn could stagger you out and make you regret using it.
Then fae lantern Sinclair came out.
This EGO has aged about as well as Blade Lineage Sinclair and every other Meursault ID that isn't Blade Lineage Instructor. In that they're technically usable... But there are significantly better options.
Whelp, now I can't wait too see the 00 Hong Lu ID that's Poise focused for Walpurgis Night.
A broken clock is right twice a day. Soda Hong Lu actually managed to save my run in mdh once (with nebulizer). I needed to get just a tiny bit of healing for another turn against prophet, otherwise i'd die of burn (it was a disaster) and if i didn't bring ish or yi sang, maybe i'd even need to use his corrosion to bind a couple of other bosses
So, honestly, no matter how bad this ego might seem, even it can do well. Even it has a very, very specific but still neat niche of being useful if you don't have anything else for the job
For me personally, Lifetime Stew Sinclair is worse
EDIT: actually, i just remembered that corrosion attacks targets with least hp... oh well
Soupclair and Soda Lu are the obvious candidates, but I'm going to guess something perhaps a little bit unexpected with Garden of Thorns, which is just horribly designed in every way.
Still good damage and a 7 atk weight ego
Y'all actin like Garden has any slot competition and is impossible to fuel, it ain't hard to build it up in normal human battles, it rolls pretty good and has high weight with no thread investment. I really don't get the hate.
Garden of thorns is bad for a WaW but has no competition, is easy to fuel, and 7 attack weight for free so it is essentially a gregor ebony stem.
garden of thorns isn't bad it's just its competition is blind obsession, sunshower, and recently mister 20 self bind over here. if it wasn't a waw it would seem a lot better
WROOOOOONG
