I think I'm going to stay with Jeanne. Bayo just feels really weak after playing Jeanne enough, and her witch time feels a bit... different I guess?
Rosa is indeed powerful, but locked to only 1 outfit and her stronger Onyx Roses isn't something I'm a fan of. I like having variety.
Now if I was able to use Balder in the training room and be able to get a sense of what his moveset is, then I'd play him a lot more.
Mind if I ask why you're dreading 17? Tbh that was my favorite age. Old enough to make most of my own choices, but still not a legal adult with adult responsibilities.
Loptr and Prophet are annoying, especially on that stage. Them being blue, as well as their attacks and the background of the stage being all somewhat similar color can get confusing.
Indeed, and definitely some favorites of mine on there, including 1984 and Sexual Personae (Paglia and Bowie were mutual admirers of one another's work, which is awesome).
I'm pretty sure everything's back to normal with Discord. I don't do much with it other than pop in to check on things once in a while, but I'm fairly certain everything that was changed for Easter has since been changed back to the standard.
