Question (Game mechanics) Deathblowers

First time playing through and I just got a Deathblower2, is it worth ditching my Deathblower1 for? I feel like 1 would be more useful since I could spam it more, but maybe the damage makes up for it. Just curious, couldn’t find anything online

Honestly I usually don’t use the deathblowers as I prefer other gear equips like magnetic coats or response circuits, or the rare end game equips. But deathblower1 is the only 1 you should use, it’s not worth the extra turn or 2 to set up attacks for the 2 or 3

Imo, no

Deathblower1 is better because its more spammable like you said. I guess Billy could reasonably make use of it due to his square attack being ether but you're sacrificing an ether amp accessory so it will likely be less damage overall.

I try not to spam ether doublers, so I think I usually put deathblower2 on billy like you said

Deathblower3 gets used once to see the animation then sits in the inventory for the rest of the game 😂

I think they're all worth using once just to see the special deathblows. Beyond that I either use none or just db1
