[X] 500 XP to Regeneration

[X]There are ruins in Hueco Mundo, of civilizations gone before. Cirucci was once a princess in her tower. She can't go back there without being accused of desertion, but she can send you. Go back to where she once lived and find souvenirs for her, and perhaps more.

Can't decide between Lamenting Cero and Devouring Cero, on one hand stealth with 'hidden in the mist' Solid Moth and on the other hand a Charged attack.

[X] Lamenting Cero

Going with Stealth.
 
[X]Living Cero. A Cero is a mindless thing, braced and then thrown into the world to act as it will. With this Trait, however, your mind still has a grasp on a Cero as it is being fired, allowing you to alter it in some ways. You can widen the scope of your attack, reducing its intensity but catching a dodging enemy, or narrow it to focus its power on a target that can't dodge, or expend further energy to maintain its firing for several seconds to utterly scour the object of your ire.

I would like to bring up how good Lamenting Cero is for the hit and run style of fighting we're going for. A smoke screen created every time we use our ranged attack would help a lot with darting in and out of melee range to score hits and gives us a way to disengage if we need to.

@Omicron You should note that the previous update was a canonized write in and give a link. People who only read the 1k+ OP notifications for the story will miss that chapter.

And daaamn all of those Cero options are tempting. One makes a smokescreen, one can enable Cero Charging that absorbs energy already expended, one flatout makes the Cero more versatile and malleable.

I did that! In a previous post! And it's in the threadmarks now.

Still, I suppose it doesn't hurt to add it in the last update.
 
[X] Cirucci wants you to gather useful information on one of the lower-ranked Espada.

If we're going to become a quick Cero specialist, this is a great power for us. Spamming Bala and Cero before charging this to end a fight. Beautiful.

After some Las Noches, I think I am okay with taking a short break way from Espada, Privaron and others.

Devouring, because I was denied firepower in other quest.

Don't feel like the charge time for devouring zero is worth it compared to smoke/reiatsu screens or the ability to either concentrate fhe firepower in a smaller area for sniping or making sure the tanget doesn't barely dodge it.

I think this makes sense in the context of how we got it, but more than that, this+devouring cero seems to play most to our strengths. Hiding or being underestimated while someone else is fighting and suddenly going for a killing blow.

This is also part of our history, kinda, since we used to act as bait for a trap.

[X]Lamenting Cero. Nemo's Cero has always had a peculiar gray color, wisp-like look and strange sound, but this effect actually turns this into a meaningful combat advantage. When the energy of your Cero scatters after firing, it creates phantomatic vision, smoke- or mist-like, just figurative enough to imagine real shapes in them, as well as a distorted, mournful chorus in the area of firing. This allows you to use your own Cero as a smokescreen, concealing your movement in the visions and drowning your sounds in the weeping.

This is excellent for a sniper, because it allows us to fire and move without being traced. Combine it with our high-speed regeneration, and we can engage in ranged guerilla tactics far more easily.

Plus, if we extrapolate this feature into Master traits, we're looking at emphasizing the unique "ghostly wails" aspect of our Cero.

 
I uhh... hmm.

Maximum Dark Souls, let's go.

- Fits perfectly with our whole aesthetic, synergizes with the Resureccion, cool in general. Go go Horror Moth!

[X]Cirucci wants you to secure an advantage for her, and deal someone a blow without their knowing who did it.
-[X]Tier Harribel has used her "Caja Negacion" to discipline a lower-ranked Arrancar, destroying it in the process. The Caja is a symbol of Espada status, and a new one is being constructed for her; steal it before it reaches her hands.

Getting a close look at some crazy magic tech seems useful. Maybe we can figure out how to break loose if one is ever used on us. Plus, general sowing of discord and suspicion among the Espada. If we can steal the thingy and frame somebody else, maybe we can get some of the Espada fighting amongst themselves and some new opportunities will shake loose.

I am excited for this one because of where it can go. If we can expand upon this maybe we could do the same thing with our Bala, making them essentially smoke grenades. That right there sounds pretty damn useful.

Better for a rogue, you mean.

For a Sniper, Devouring Cero is better, because it gives us charge-up time. In a fight, that's hard to get, but if we start charging before the fight, we show up with something many times what we can normally pull off, at no extra cost to us.

And yes, we can flash-step while still charging a Cero, they do that all the time in the canon arrancar fights.
