Burn and... Rupture?

read floor above

I recommend these packs, among which:

• The Surrendered Witnessing is a must for... obvious reasons
• Unbound Wrath, Textbook and LCB Regular Check-up BokGak are all pretty much necessary for burn
• Spring Cultivation is cool for the "birds" in our team, and the rupture fusion benefits Sinclair in #6
• The Dusk of Amber is totally optional but the Pheromone gift is cool and has ammo gifts that benefit capo meursault

Well if you run capo meursault, definitely get lei heng's gift, the other packs are your choice.

This team should be run "as-is", because there's literally no other way of doing this (except you can swap support passives for other Poise/Rupture identities).
The idea revolves entirely around a SINGLE e.g.o gift, or to be more precise a single line of said gift, which is Flower in the Mirror.
The line in question is "At 10+... On Crit with a Skill, inflict +1 Rupture Count (3 times per Skill). This mix of words in this exact order allows virtually any team that has at least 3, or better 4 hybrid units with rupture/poise, which is exactly what this team is built for:

• [Ishmael] The Pequod Captain and [Don Quixote] Cinq Assoc. East Section 3 are poise/burn hybrids
• [Heathcliff] Heishou Pack - You Branch Adept and [Sinclair] Heishou Pack - You Branch are rupture/burn hybrids

With this setup, teams like this can maintain the rupture count, and e.g.o gifts will help stacking potency/more count.

I thought of this because

1. I'm effed up in the head and this is not a sane burn team, do this only if you wanna have fun
2. so that burn can actually deal real damage after the stupid nerf to Glimpse of Flames and Hot ‘n Juicy Drumstick (how they massacred my boys)

This said, the funny level 1 TEAL yi sang is there for the rupture conditionals of the flower in the mirror, but mainly because you can just decide to kill him (it is my favorite activity) for this: Someone's Dropped Employee Card. This is another dumb gift i always pair with the yi sang because i happen to have him level 1, but it's not necessary at all for the run and it's just to have better clashing for [Faust] LCE E.G.O:: Ardor Blossom Star. So if you get it, cool, if you don't, feel free to swap for another rupture/poise Yi Sang.
