How do we treat those abilities ?

[Smolice]

Sooo in Honkai Impact, you can equip something called Stigma(ta), and it gives you additional abilities, usually buffs and resistances. In the game though, you can only equip 3 of those on one character. So for a profile, is the limit considered game mechanics or ?

(Just in case, Stigmata are somewhat considered a story element, in the plot tho they never talk about how many of them a character can equip)

It's probably game mechanics, but it also depends on how they work. For example, in Magia Record (PMMM's mobile game) there are some equipments called Memoria, you can equip 4 at most, but since lore wise they're cristallized memories of magical girls, here we give MGs all the abilities from their own Memorias.

Problem in HK3 is that there is no such thing as "their" Stigmata. The only thing we know is that stigmata exist, that Valkyrias (our protagonists) equipp them canonwise, but not how many and wich one.

 

[Smolice]

Mmmh lore-wise a Stigma is IIRC some kind of leftover from anyone in the past (for example, there are Stigmata for Elizabeth Bathory) that a Valkyrie can equip for fighting.

 

[RKGenki]

Is it said which one do they equip story wise or is it up to the players? If it's the latter then they should probably be used the same way as equipment for RPGs, but I don't really know what do we do with those.

I actually need to know for my upcoming Neptunia revisions

 

[Smolice]

From what I know, story-wise, there is only one character (Theresa) that we know equiped a specific set of stigmata (Yae Sakura set), tho I think she unequiped it later on.

There is another character too (Seele), but we don't know which one she equiped precisely, and we probably won't make a profile for her anyways

 

[RKGenki]

Looking at the Nier profiles it seems like they have every equipment listed, so you can list all of them if there isn't a set canon.

(If you didn't know, the playable characters of Nier:Automata, who are androids, can equip different chips that give different kind of abilities, but a canon set doesn't exist so everything is listed)

Still not 100% sure, so it would be better to ask an admin to comment here

Subarashii~

I'm not really familiar with how we treat characters from that kinda game, but anyways, thank you !

Also those upcoming revision got my attention.

Oh right, I saw your old account listed in the supporter section of the verse page.

Well, the profiles are so outdated it hurts, and they also use feats from the anime, so I'm planning a BIG revision of the entire verse. We already updated the verse page so it looks way better now, and all the tiers will change. If you want more info you can ask on the HDN discussion thread. Lots of shitpost, I warn you
