Tips for Equinox Prime

With the abilities and side grades they can use some fine tuning and enhancement:

Having the Morph option in the Arsenal we can get stat improvements to the day form and night form; so the Day form is more tanky like to come to 30% damage resistence or more, while the night can be energy gated like characters that can survive with Quick Thinking.

When using the range mechanics on Equinox's 2 sets of 3 abilities the radius detection mechanic can use a different model. Instead of a string to seek enemies and make a web the raidus ring can make this work better and more smoothly in detecting targets in range. For example: Look at Baruuk's 2, which is similar but highlights the ground to show the range to put enemies to sleep. Now look at Nyx's Chaos Sphere augment which makes a ring to show what the reach of the ability is. If we can have proper particle and mechanic improvement to go that direction, then Rest and Rage will be more effective.

Next with Provoke and Pacify is to look at characters like Garuda who need only so much power strength to defend allies and how about 150% power strength helps to double and ally's ability strength like Rhino does; but they only increase ability damage by the % of thier buff. We've also seen what can be done with Ash with a bit of power strength also. On Equinox's '3' it's worth it to upscale this ability to make them more up to date and closer to S tier.

Now for the 4th ability it can use a bit more upscaling. After using a bit of research the Maim abilit DOES scale; but to an extent. According to the info by the Youtuber, Summit, he took Equinox into a few hundred waves of Derelic Defense to stress test the character to find that it only scales up to 2 million damage colected compared to the masively healthy enemies who couldn't die any more from maim. We have to get Maim's damage mechanics to a 2.0 level to be more managable and effective, not to lock it in like Oberon's new '1' which is a let down. So again Maim can use improvements to it's damage mechanics; so it is usable in mutiple build options.

 

Not to forget is Mend. The community likes this ability; but too is limited. Back when we had the two original Raids and the older focus abilties as the limit Equinox was an option in the missions. The problem was struggling to heal objectives; because the Vazarin burst was the only way to heal the objective / defense target. If Mend can be taken to a 2.0 level then it frees us up of the dependency of operator Arcanes AND Vazarin focus. Who needs those when all you need is Equinox in that sense? In practical terms using a surplus in Mend would be great in healing allies, specters, the defense targets, and apply bonus health, shields, and armor. Pushing the Mending to this direction would bring the 4th ability up to par.

 

Lastly, the Augment for the 1st ability can help by being worked into the 1st ability. Tapping 1 to use Metamorphis would be the defult while charging it would change forum and bring out a Specter. That would have to make 1st augment different; but the potential will add more options

She could use a new passive, be able to maintain 3 and 4 by default without a damn augment, and have first ability give incentive to either stay in one form or switch, depending on how you build.

Her mechanics are getting outdated and it sucks.

Who uses mend for the heal?

Leaving it on for the shields is pointlessly weak compared to mags crush and doing so builds up a huge charge you waste 99.99% of if you toggle it off to heal with.

Mend is only good to have on to build charge with for maim using the augment. It is a utter waste otherwise.

That is why it needs a proper rework to buff it up too. Ash and Loki are some characters that have a perfect kit. Equinox can use the whole 9 yards too.
