KMST 1.2.460 - Xenon

 Xenon Review/Rant

Pros:

> Three stats means randomly picked up potential, options and + All Stat now have value
> Dual euips means more opportunity to get useful pomegranate
> With a three stat build, lots of stance, resistance and other pomegranate
> No cooldown versions of DB and BM skills

> pineappleIN' ROBOT NINJA PIRATE REBEL
> pineappleIN' ROBO KY ROBO SU
> Xenon can rock Vortex Infinitum as an awesome theme

Cons:

> No gameplay videos with Vortex Infinitum
> Xenon isn't Beryl

> The pineapple is the point of Purge Lob when you have unlimited HYPER SKILL dancing?
> ANOTHER pineappleING GODDAMN LIMITED TIME ONLY CLASS because that's what they do with all the named characters
> Might be nerfed to uselessness in 6 months, which will make it suck for 1 year after the nerf and it won't become a worthwhile investment of time and mesos for another 18 months

Half of Xenon's pros are the fact that he's a walking trope and an expy of a Guilty Gear character, only inversed because he's actually a "hero". The other half is his superior stat mechanic.

Still, I was really hoping for a scythe user class, and having a useless skill is bad. Being time limited also makes me sad.

But my biggest complaint with Lotus is the fact that Nexon will "rebalance" him like they do all new classes, even if that's something that could be said about all new classes. Until 6 months have passed, there's really no telling what the "final" version of Xenon will be. Because, unfortunately, Nexon uses KMST as a closed beta, and the actual game as an open one, instead of actually making sure they get it right prior to introducing the class. Which is why it's probably best to reserve one's excitement until we know for sure that Xenon won't wind up in a year long relevance limbo like Cannon Shooter or Demon Slayer. Or that it won't turn into a relatively underwhelming class like post-Hyper Luminous. Hopefully he'll remain competitive with the other classes. Especially Dual Blade.

Am I the only one overly saddened by the fact scythe girl is a boss XD

No. I, as well as a few others, also wanted scythe girl to be Xenon. Even if we knew it wasn't true, a scythe user class would've been awesome. Instead, it's another sword class. Yay?

Theos had it right with their Anchor Scythe Pirate and Spear Lancer Warrior.

True, but no other thief classes use stars. More use physical blades. : /

That feeling when you're waiting for Eckhart, which which will probably have energy stars due to a secondary "soul star" equip.

So...do Bomb, Laser or Snipe have any use whatsoever? Or is Lob the 4th job dump skill?
