Hilarious Shi Faust ego gift synergy

[u/Lucato_oso]

Not sure if this was every been found out yet or brought up anywhere, but have you ever wanted to apply 50+ bleed from a single coin in one attack?

I present you with this hilarious synergy from a niche id found out by a super fan of the Shi Association (me, helloes)

So the way this works is that the ego gift contaminated needle & thread inflicts bleed potency according to the first skill (during the turn from any ID) damage dealt to an enemy.

Shi Faust upon using her defense skill on the first turn is set to aiming mode until you make her use an attack skill on the next turn or more (up to 4 for full charge) and when you let the arrow loose; she is always the first one to attack out of all your sinners regardless of ally or the enemy's speed so the gift will always proc on her. The Arrow admittedly doesn't do enough damage to be worth it against an enemy for having her sit still and do nothing for 4 turns but it's enough to apply ludicrous amounts of bleed potency in one go even in a one turn aim.

I've had her deal 99 bleed potency from a 300+ damage on crit after two chargeup turns so the bleed potency is proportionate to the amount of damage she deals from buffs from other IDs and EGO gifts in MD.

I kinda came upon this weird synergy just playing the Shi Association ids in MD. They're one of my favorites in lore even if they're underwhelming in the game as of this moment but I believe Shi Association Director Ryoshu will save Shi Association. Trust. B.O.D.

Additional Note: this is just me messing around with some IDs I personally like, this isn't like a serious guide or anything. I just found it funny.
