Is The Pequod Harpooneer Heathcliff good?

Yes, as a high HP Envy damage dealer whose power rises as he gets hurt. His Bleed and Poise are situational, so build around Envy instead.

What team does Pequod Heathcliff want?

A team with lots of Envy skills for resonance, ideally with other Pequod identities, since his passive gives double buffs when a Pequod ally is attacked.

Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Envy damage sponge, low HP burst

Technically a Bleed and Poise identity, but he fits neither well. He works as an Envy resonance damage sponge: his damage rises by 1% per 1% of missing HP, up to 99% at 1 HP, and his skill 3 grows strongly under Envy resonance. In a solo run he hit like a truck while at roughly half health.

Worth pulling?: good pull
Uptie: Uptie IV is worth it for a character that only gets stronger as the fight drags on, but expect value mainly from the passives.

How to play

Build Envy resonance and let him take hits, since his passive gains Offense and Defense Level Up whenever an ally is attacked. Skill 1 and 2 pull aggro to their slots and build Poise, and skill 3 is the main damage option. The lower his HP, the harder everything hits, so do not heal him much.

+Up to +99% damage at low HP
+Skill 3 scales with Envy resonance
+Large HP pool
+Support passive boosts the highest max HP ally's Pierce damage

−Bleed and Poise generation are situational
−Wants many Envy skills in the team
−Weak to slash
