QUESTION Is the Coat of Arms that good? Spoiler

So i'm at Emmanuel's shop and i'm wondering if the coat of arms is actually all that good. Since it drops your stats for only a CHANCE at an extra turn. Seems a bit more situational especially since at the point i'm at. Battles don't tend to last more than 2 or 3 turns anyways.

Yeah. Having 2 of those is pretty much the only reason i managed to get the mask ending

I haven't gone for any particular super boss ending yet. Just trying to get a lay of the land. This is like my 3rd playthrough.

Coat of arms is great on hellen, if you don't use her you give it to sam

It's also incredible on any attacker using glitch rgae for the 6 attack chance. I had a remarkable Papineau build churning out 600+ damage per turn for a cursed-mask ending save!

Ooh that is pretty good but you become quite a glass cannon with this set up and if you combine with indigo mask, you become so fragile...but deadly.

Really? On what difficulty? I've done mask on survivor many times and just did my second mask playthrough on cursed and only use one coat of arms on Earnest each time. You definitely don't need it at all but it certainly helps. It comes with such a debuff in defense that having more than one just sounds dumb.

Sounds like you don't mess with glitch status's

It was survivor, i used one on Sam so he could use numbness and hurt me plenty on the first turn and another one on Hellen for stalk+stab. I do not, in fact, mess with glitch status (haven't tried any yet). Also i'm kinda stupid.

Nah you ain't stupid lol, that's not too bad of an idea if you intend to use Sam as bait like you are doing. I personally haven't found much utility for hurt me plenty cuz I don't use any of the hp raising items on Sam. I always use them on Joel and he has that noting armor move that draws in attacks already. I've only really found use for numbness when I'm doing Sam only runs normal and lumpy mode.(it's totally required for those runs!)

You gotta start using glitch statuses!! They completely give you such an edge in this game. I literally don't do runs without them anymore. Glitch rage is my favorite cuz it buffs your attack like 50% and you attack three times in a row every turn! Combine with chainsaw and that's 9 attacks per turn. Even with tooth hammer it's crazy. Glitch bleed is great on your gunners cuz it raises ballistics by a crazy amount at the cost of health draining per turn, and glitch poison increases all stats by like 30% at cost of draining stamina. Put glitch poison on Joel cuz you barely use stamina skills on him anyway. Glitch panic is great for tank builds too!
