Oh, you beat me to it. I'll just post what I was made then.

---

So about the previous thread when it comes to Youkai and needing a buff. There aren't many, but the listed are the youkai that truly needs it. The others are well versed in what they do and useful enough without needing the buff.

1. Orbello
   
2. Kilkenny
   
3. Byakko (Included Ascended)
   
4. Firefox
   
5. Lilu
   

The rest that isn't on this list are quite strong as they are or have a strong enough effect to carry them/Make them worth choosing in their own rights. Please keep in mind, some Youkai isn't supposed to be mandatory or always pick and choose. Some are good in what group they're in. Such as Phaze Python being a goto for basic attackers or Jack o' Lantern (Though glass) or Sazae Oni being the main go-to, to deal with water mages, or the Dragons being the safe front liners and Etc.

Some youkais may need small adjustments but we're focusing on the set that needs help.

The set that I've listed are either very outdated or just doesn't do their role that well. Due to this, I like to suggest something that could help with their situation. Some have problems with their scaling and others problems with their overall scaling.

I'd suggest a fix to this maybe? Something to help move them up the list and not be forgetting youkais.



Orbello - It has little range and does nothing whatsoever. While Chain Cast seems 'okay' on paper, it's quite outdated. How much damage it gives is barely worth either the install or Summoning it. You're better off using that momentum and slot on something else, even as a mage.

Suggestions:

1. Deathtouch increase from 2 to 4 this giving it SOME reach without instantly dying or people walking away from it. Chain Cast increases the spell power by Orbello level/6. The spell cast reduction lasting until the install ends. This affecting Youkai spells as well as Orbello itself. 
   

Kilkenny - The effect is quite okay but the damage isn't. The only reason this is on the list is due to Cat's Claw doing little to almost no damage whatsoever. Because Youkai is scaled from a certain percentage elemental attack and Slash has no elemental attack...Yeah, that's where the problem starts. It's not a claw, more like a gentle paw pat.

Suggestions:

1. Touch upon the youkai for Cat's Claw's effectiveness. This could be global as well for everyone that uses his evoke or Runes with Manic Slasher. Granting the youkai Slash Elemental attack that scales off its Strength stats. It can be other stats but I always assume slash would scale from Strength or Skill.
   

Byakko - Roar doesn't sync well with this youkai. Thunder claw doesn't add up well damage wise. This means, out of the youkai with offensive capability, the youkai itself doesn't exactly do much at all. Even while ascended, it's still better to use one of the dragons than it. Why is that? Its lightning attack is quite low and Roar does not for it. 

Suggestions:

1. If Roar was used by Byakko, it becomes Thunderous Roar which increases the youkai's Luck stats and Lighting instead of strength. In return, while under that effect, Thunder Claw can ignore armor. If it's under the Ascension WEST side effect, it doubles the Lightning Attack and Thunder Claws has a chance to crit due to it being intense lightning.
   

Firefox - This youkai has no purpose outside of fire absorb. Nothing more, nothing else. Unlike the others that have some offensive option, the only option this has is Seeker Flame which does laughable damage. Firebody and Firefall cannot exactly carry this Youkai far when they are many other things that do exactly this.

Suggestions:

1. Allow the user to be able to create up to three Seeking Flame that moves at an okay amount of movement range. Increase the explosion damage by level + creator's Fire ATK as well as the range of the explosion by 2-3 diamonds. To make it worth the amount of FP the user has to create these Seeking Flames and the damage being worth something.
   

Lilu - The youkai that does almost nothing. Her kit is all about inflicting Charm and hugging to keep the person in place. While that does sound good, giving her current defensive stats, she will die before she could even use embrace and the inflict chance? By the time she charms someone, she's already almost dead. Thus this puts the youkai down as one of the forgettable or ignored. How can we fix this? She needs a lot of work but...

1. Wink gaining a better inflict chance but also increases the level of charm if used by Lilu herself equal to her level. So X Level = % charm. Quite high? Considering the youkai has no damage option whatsoever and this is all she can do, I consider it a fair trade. At night time, the charm inflict becomes guarantee and bypass charm resistance. Embrace applies a new effect if the victim is charmed: Lover's confusion. 
   
2. Lover's confusion: While under a charming effect, you become confused however you will be unable to hurt the inflicter whatsoever. Against monsters, other monsters will become more aggressive towards the victim. If another is under her charm, the victim under Lover's confusion's effect damage percentage towards another charmed victim increases by half the charm level.
   

Those are all the ideas that are on my mind at the time. Any suggestion towards adjustment for them, I'm sure if Dev likes anything, he could pick, choose and adjust to his liking. What's on the list is stand alone youkais.
