Voida coming soon!

When it comes to bloodsmelting there are no changes as far as I know. Same process/difficulty prior/post ascension.
Im guessing you will keep the scepter as main esper so it might be handy to bloodsmelt it more, yeah. The HoV was looking very nice already but if you're gonna inherit its skill to the scepter, all your smelt work will be in vain ofc. Now isnt exactly the right time to bloodsmelt anyway, with treasure bowls going at 50-75g. You'd be wasting 25bowls per smelt medium.

Here's the question... if the HoV has better stats... wouldn't it be better to have HoV as main and inherit the Sceptre skill?

If I then get another esper, eg Firmus, and had that as my main and I inherited the HoV, would it include the Sceptre skill?

I would still go for the scepter, cuz it has one of the highest growth rates ingame. Is the scepter precious? Are its stats close to the HoV one? Would be cool camouflage on the other hand Imagine a trigram with Scepter and firmus skill :p

And no idea about that second question. Someone will have to test that out:p

I've posted on JD forums... lets see what the answer is lol

Esper lvl30 again, going very fast with 2 skills:D Btw, if you prefer crescents instead of gold for the espers, I still have a lot.
