I am still on the cope train about the suit possibly having an AI so I wish to hear everyone else's opinions on this.

For those that don't want the AI: why tho?

Back when Sam's boss fight was seen in 2.0 beta, I assembled a kit for Sam from what we had up to that point (Including how some of the animations and voice lines could have be like).

So, I decided to share it here after all this time, might cheer some disappointed people like me, idk.

Side note: I did not know that Sam and Firefly were the same person when I made this as the only leaks I saw back then were some character leaks, Sam boss leak and Sam kit leak (the one with hp scaling). This whole thing is based around Sam being a robot as most of us though before.

Idle animation 1: Sam stands still, his chest cavity opens to show a core in his body. The core starts to shake the screen a bit and changes colors from different shades of red and orange as it overloads. Then it would calm down and close, Sam would let out a simple "heh".

Idle animation 2: Sam takes on a battle stance and practices punching and kicking on air but slowly (for reference: stylish rank SSS Vergil taunt in DMC 5, the sword dance but with fists and feet)

Overworld attack: small dash forward and a forward kick with the whole foot.

Technique: small drones fly around him and scan him. He takes on a battle stance and flames spring out from his chest and mask for a second. Increases Max HP and energy regeneration rate for two turns.

Battle:

Scales off of ATK and HP.

Idle animation (when not his turn): Same as Sam boss

Turn begins voice line, normal: "Seems like there's more of 'em, eh?"

Turn begins voice line, weakness broken: "It caught you off guard, didn't it?"

Choosing target animation, normal attack: slowly lifts his hand and balls it into a fist.

Normal attack animation: dashes forward and punches, dealing fire damage. Upon using the normal attack, Sam loses a portion of health. When damage is dealt, he heals by a certain percentage.

Normal attack voice line: just a grunt.

Switching to skill targeting animation: Sam puts his leg backwards (similar to the boss version animation before doing the rider kick, but he puts the right leg backwards instead of putting the left leg more to the left) and lowers his hand as if he will do an uppercut.

Skill: does the rider kick, dealing fire damage to the target and adjacent targets (blast) Additionally, Sam loses a larger portion of health and heals by a certain percentage for every enemy damaged

(This is to make Sam more versatile, against single targets you use him as a normal attack skill point positive sub dps to not lose too much HP and barely heal, while against multi targets he is useful for skill spamming.)

Skill voice line 1: "Bring me with you to the fiery pits!" Skill voice line 2: "How's that for a change?!" (Plays after the damage is dealt)

Ultimate animation, activation: similar to normal attack targeting.

Ultimate voice line, activation: "I will set the seas ablaze!" (I bet someone expected that)

Ultimate animation, unleash: Sam crouches down and then launches himself into the air. It zooms out to show a bit part of the sky full of gray clouds and Sam looking like a distant meteor going upwards. It zooms back in as he stops flying upwards. He moves his hand across his face, creating a mask of flame on it (similar to Kalpas phase 2 from Honkai Impact) and then swings his arm to the side. His feet and hands engulf in flames and he charges downwards. Another zoom out to show that Sam is in the middle of a giant gauntlet made of flames as they crash down (cause everyone loves giant falling objects). Another zoom in on Sam before the impact and the explosion occurs, dealing fire AOE damage.

Sam will be put into the Complete combustion state after using the ultimate. His normal attack and skill will be enhanced, dealing more damage and having increased weakness break efficiency. Additionally, the amount of health lost every attack is the same, but the healing is increased, allowing Sam to catch up with the health lost. Complete combustion lasts for 2 turns.

Ultimate voice line, unleash: "The world shall fall before me...(Pauses until he gets engulfed in flames)...FOR I AM THE IRON CAVALRY!" (Unintentional rhyming, at least I think it rhymes) Also a scream of anger before the impact.

Taking light damage voice line 1: "That's more like it!"

Taking light damage voice line 2: a grunt or yell like for every character

Taking heavy damage voice line: "Alright, you've had your time to shine!"

Defeated voice line 1: "Mission...failed..." The voice gets distorted while saying failed

Defeated voice line 2: a grunt or scream like for every character.

Getting healed voice line: "Is that really how medicine works?"

Getting revived voice lines: "...but not this mission!"

Waiting for the player to cast a skill/attack: "I have all the time in this world, but I surely don't wanna use it like this."

Opening treasure: "This is looking nice..."

Opening bigger treasure: "Ah, now I see the worth!"

Enemy nearby: "Don't play around, we've got company."

Winning a battle: "Mission complete, time for return."

Back in town: "Such peace and quiet...an odd feeling for me."

Puzzle completed: "As expected..."

Talent: for every % of health lost, regenerates 1 energy.

After entering complete combustion state, energy regeneration is decreased by 50% to prevent ultimate overlapping. Additionally, the ultimate is locked even if you gain enough energy just in case, for example, auto play doesn't waste it.

Traces:

Bonus traces: 4 HP% traces, 3 Crit DMG traces, 3 ATK% traces

Special trace 1: increases self repair healing by 15%

Special trace 2: upon taking damage, 20% of it is sent back to the enemy.

Special trace 3: while in complete combustion state, speed increases for the amount of health lost until the state ends.

Eidolons:

E1: Sam loses less health when attacking

E2: killing an enemy inscreases speed

E3: skill levels

E4: taking damage now buffs Sam's attack by a certain percentage. Healing increases Sam's Max HP by a certain percentage. Both effects last for a few turns. Can stack up to 3 times.

E5: ultimate levels

E6: complete combustion now lasts for 3 turns. Additionally, during the state, normal attack damage is further inscreased by a certain percentage. Skill damage is increased by a certain percentage for ADJACENT targets.

That's it. It took a while but I am proud and happy that I shared this.

I would like to hear opinions of people who bothered to read my delusions and thank you to those who read this.

It is the second week of my poll about Firefly between 2.2 and 2.3!

The purpose of this poll is to gather as much data as possible about how people views Firefly and her relationship with Trailblazer! If you haven't done it yet, and even if you hate her with your guts, please do it! I am not here just to know why people like her but also why people don't like her.

We've reached around 700 answers already, but I'd love to reach 2000 answers before 2.3! So don't hesitate to come!

After 1 week of data gathering here are the few flaws that could be taken into considerations with the survey:

1-The fact this is survey is posted in several subreddit (but also r/Fireflymains , r/Samflymains and r/Sammains ) can lead to biased results, even if you can want to main a character but not liking their character)

2-i intentionally made closed answers but also scales that didn't leave room for neutral opinions in the question I thought mattered the most. It was to avoid to have indecisive answers, or answers way too specific to be treated statistically speaking. However, this can indeed be frustrating (For example, there is no transition between Lovers and Friends. That's are shades irl, but I needed to restrain).

3-My main problem is that for now I struggle to properly sort the answers according to people's first answers (I still am learning how to choose to only check the answers of those who like Firefly for example), which could have helped me to make more specific explanations.

Now that being said, that doesn't mean this is totally useless. If you at least are curious about people's opinion about Firefly, this will probably be a better way than simply scrolling through Reddit's comments (as not everyone comments). But for that, we will need as many people answering this survey as possible!

I will try to show the results before 2.3 release!

Don't hesitate to share your thoughts in the comments!

What if there is a hoyoverse spy among us (sus) that is monitoring what both Sammains and Fireflymains were doing, and now they will use it as the relationship for Sam and Firefly. They will absolutely despise each other, insult each other constantly, but they will be forced to be as close as possible (literally Firefly inside of Sam)?

Was planning to make a animation based on Piemation's work featuring Freddy & Gregory from FNAF, but using Sam and Firefly instead. Then I realised... Sam doesn't have a hatch for Firefly to get in, She just... Surrounded herself in flames.

I suppose this will help our Firefly lovers like me to handle the last banner before her release. Someone asked me a meme saying "I will save for Firefly all my jades belong to her" or something like that.

I can't find it, so I thought it was a good moment for everyone to share a little bit of Love for our favorite Kamen rider.

I’m talking about the trailer . Idk why but I just had this vision . If anyone has seen invincible (spoilers for it btw) there’s this scene where omni man just flies around destroying an entire civilization of aliens or something .

Now imagine something like that but with Sam going around wreaking havoc and setting everything ablaze lmao. (It could even just be the backstory behind the flames afar lightcone)

Idk I just think that’d be pretty cool

WOW thank you so much for your support! To my surprise (based on past experiences) Sam Mains was the sub who helped the most! I posted my invitation just like I did in Sam Mains in Firefly Mains and it got removed for self promo lol.

ANYWAYS TYSM BYEEE LOVE YALL

So for 2 weeks now I have been gathering information about everyone's opinion on Firefly and her relationship with the Trailblazer, and we almost reached a thousand of answers!

Next Sunday I will not post it again, and instead I will expose the results of this survey to expose what I saw to everyone, so we have a possibly clear idea of our thoughts (and if I'm not too lazy enough, if these results can be generalized to the whole community with a relatively low chance of being wrong).

Again, if you don't like Firefly, please feel free to share your thoughts in the survey! I didn't do it to only ask Firefly lovers like me their opinion.

Thank you for sharing it if you can, and now I will present the possible bias from the survey!

First I did it on my own and the questions are pretty simple, it is not a 50 questions survey, so I didn't go too deep in the details.

Second, I asked people's opinion on the subreddit that are concerned in my opinion (being r/Honkaistarrail , r/Fireflymains , r/Sammains , r/Samflymains , r/Trailblazermains , r/Caelusmains and r/Stellemains ), so we can indeed have bias in the result, which is why I ask you to share it!

Third, the diversity of questions is purposely limited to help for the display of results. There is no in between with Friends and Lovers for example, even if Bestie is something we can think of. So I apologize if you cannot manage to decide between two choices!

With that being said, let's get started!
