Mirror Dungeon tier

Poise damage dealer and Blade Lineage buffer

A Pride-heavy Poise identity with high base rolls and a unique counter, Yield My Flesh into To Claim Their Bones, that hits very hard. His team buffs shine in a full Blade Lineage squad, but the identity is strong even when you only borrow part of the kit. Pride skills and Poise scaling are exactly what the current game rewards.

Worth pulling?
good pull
Uptie
Worth it if you run him seriously. Higher uptie keeps his high skill rolls competitive and makes the counter pay off more.

How to play

Use Acupuncture (S2) as the main damage skill and Draw of the Sword (S1) to build Poise early. Keep Yield My Flesh for when you want to lose the clash on purpose and fire To Claim Their Bones, which gets stronger with Poise and missing HP. Fielding Pride resonance of three or more switches on his death-save and the Poise sharing to other Blade Lineage allies.

FAQ

Is Blade Lineage Mentor Meursault good?
Yes. He rolls high for his age, scales with Poise and brings strong team buffs. His ceiling is highest in a full Blade Lineage team.
Does Blade Lineage Mentor Meursault need the full Blade Lineage team?
No. The full team unlocks the most buffs, but the Pride skills and Poise payoff work in other Poise teams too. The final power buffs mostly matter in unfocused fights.
How does To Claim Their Bones activate?
Yield My Flesh rolls low on purpose. Lose the clash after taking hits and he answers with To Claim Their Bones, a four coin counter with heavy damage and Paralyze.
