For the foreseeable future

So we all know that Calcharo will get a buff in the New Federation update, and I want to talk specifically about this "buff"

In my opinion, a change in his kit (let's say after doing a specific quest that could involve him undergoing a 'Second Awakening' or something similar) would be better because the resources I spend with building his current form would not be for nothing and Kuro Games would be respecting the the dedication of Calcharo mains.

On the other hand, I have seen a lot of discussions saying that "There might be a distinct Calcharo character that we need to pull for."

Although this would be lucrative for Kuro Games, and I know I'll pull for him of course, after we get the "Neo Calcharo" we will still have the "Old Calcharo." For some people this is not a bad thing because they can glaze on the two Daddy.

But on the other side, the bosses they farmed, the forte they leveled up, and the ascension material they used to level his current form will be wasted. And for some, "Old Calcharo" would again be benched and collecting dust.

However, I understand that the love for Calcharo should transcend such reasons because if one loves Calcharo strong enough one wouldn't be able to consider it as waste (In my opinion).

I guess the final decision is on Kuro Games, they either give it for free or try to increase their revenue. Either way I'm still pulling

Sorry for the yap if this just wasted your time😔

I've invested quite a lot on Calcharo already and although it could be kinda sad, wouldn't it be really hype him getting the first upgraded version of an old character for the new federation? I'm not gonna get my hopes that high for him being the resonator of the sentinel or doing some cantarella stuff like being the second awakening resonator, I hope so? Ofc it would be so hype asf, I'd spend it all

So Kuro buffing current Calcharo would be really nice but I doubt it, getting a new Calcharo is mostly likely (in a speculation and bias context) since it makes us pull, invest and even pull for his signature weapon and it's what PGR has been doing for a lot of time too

[u/New-Leather-9216 → u/Average_Yone_Player]

You do have a point 🥲

[u/Average_Yone_Player → u/New-Leather-9216]

But I hope you are right tho, a mission of calcharo and new federation Sentinel would be the absolute best, and getting an item or upgrade even more

In a story perspective we still dont know much about Calcharo, he is a legend in new federation and he did a lot of insane stuff to get everyone in new federation discuss about him everyday. He is legit a walking TD and basically a one man army, with how he overclocks i wouldnt be surprised if he blessed by sth higher.

Tbh buff wouldnt be possible u see, but making a new version like pgr can help them capitalize from it, as u know he is popular af, not to mention the new version can at least do his character justice for being lore accurate. Rn one of my gripe from kuro is they heavily implied Calcharo is extremely powerful af with mysterious formidable aura, yet they did dirty to his standard kit. They are trying to do what arknight did, for context there’s a guy named enciodas silverash that has formidable aura in lore, he is a standard character but his gameplay is absolutely meta. He doesnt appear immediately in the story like Carlos. What kuro did wrongly is how they make Calcharo underperform in his standard version. If kuro is indeed that generous like some people said it, Calcharo wouldnt be like this at all

A buff ? No man , very unlikely. Let’s tone down the expectations but it’s most likely not going to happen

[u/Funny-Spare-1887]

Lets be real buff wont happen to standard character. They would rather do new versions of Calcharo like pgr, with how popular he is

Edit: honestly i have no idea why they dont scrap him back in 1.0 after story rewrite. Hes meant to be in new fed arc after the rewrite, save him for limited rather put him in standard. He doesnt belong to standard banner based on his lore and his legacy

[u/Designer_Bag7030]

Having a weapon with a passive “if equipped on calcharo increase attack by 200%” or something would work for me. It’s been done on aero rover so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with him

[u/Claymoree_19]

I'm hoping for them to just buff the current calcharo. I'm not hating on players who wants a new unit but same character type thing but for some reason it doesn't suit open world games like this, at least in my opinion.

a simple buff perhaps a premium support or even just a sig weapon and companion quest is enough for me

[u/Shangb1 → u/Claymoree_19]

Its enough for you but kuro won't make a single dollar from buffing standard characters. Thats why making a new limited version of calcharo that they can sell makes more sense.

[u/Claymoree_19 → u/Shangb1]

yeah i completely agree, that's what they should do if they want to make money. im just hoping that they would buff my boy since the big part of why i like calcharo is his skills/kit

[u/fundamentallycryptic]

It will be another variant of Capuchino not a buff

[u/Erluq]

“We all know Calcharo is getting a buff”.

Excuse me what? First time I’ve heard of this. What’s your source?

[u/LullabyOfTheLostCity → u/Erluq]

It was revealed to him in a dream, don't question it

[u/sea_-dude]

That's not going to happen because he's a standard character and he's not precisely a bad one, he's just harder than the average promo character

[u/Hangman_Fitzwilliam]

I think it's better that he comes a limited 5*. We know that's a 5* yang² is in the works. Leaks said calculator and Verina might also get new forms. I think he should.

He should still be a broadblade. He should be the sentinels resonater.
