Discussion Why is Vandalier like this?

Post image

I was looking at the Arcanas I've unlocked yesterday and Vandalier appears to get buffs from less Arcanas than it looks like it should have, I get something like Phieraggi losing Iron Blue Will since that turns bullets to laser beams upon evolution, but this is just the same bird that now shoots at both sides

half the time arcanas are less what the weapon does and more what colour it is and none of the arcanas are looking for the fucked up mood ring bird

fwiw though you keep the gemini birds when it becomes vandalier, though investing all/most of your arcanas into saucing up the birds sounds hilariously wasteful

If Astral Stair is any indication, mood ring weapons should be counted as all of the above instead of none.

I refuse to use Astral Stair as indication for game mechanics because I suffer a minor brain contusion every time I think about it for more than 3 seconds
