Execept that Acceleration halves wounds penalties, and even if that doesn't work, Rihaku has implicitly stated that it is the most likely to provide ways to heal lingering paralysis.
Bloodslayer has thousand cuts, which increases our power level more than lingering paralysis decreases it.

However it goes, we're consistent with at least 1 thing. Boosting Gisena or pursuing Blood powers.

The point of exhaustion is Saint can afford to take it and still be a safer build than Bloodslayer?
We'd still need to kill something to get rid of it which is arete or picks we aren't spending on something else instead.
Saint also takes cuts and doesn't have to worry about a debuff since exhaustion wears off so much quicker. We even previously took an option specifically to make tired and exhausted 25% less bad so we may as well make use of it.
Saint is more consistent than Bloodslayer since it doesn't have anti-synergy with any part of our build!

Those sweet, sweet El STATS. Comboes quite well with recovering our skills, the better we can keep up with our knowledge and the longer we can groove, the safer we are when it comes to contests. That we'd have 5 Arete after that is just wild since that would put us within reach for a sweet 7 Arete dance tech or power, which would do a lot to help us clear this place.
I think we're at 46 pages of arguments for this extended build vote. Not quite the record 100, but impressive nonetheless.
A solid choice, brooding being a reliable time-waster in absence of allies, though I'll say that there might be other kinds of challenges.

{} DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION: CHALLENGE
{} Undying Vanguard [5 Arete]
Obviously if we're going to dance we should dance with Gisena!

Hm. What a strange vote. Usually the omake power isn't this lopsided.
Vote: 33% lead in favor of Star-Blade
Arguments: Yet to review, but my impression is that it'll be close
Omakes: 400%+ lead in favor of Bloodslayer
What an odd situation. At this point I don't even think eliminating Heedless War would do anything...

The final argument for Bloodslayer: The omake and content creators like it, so by voting for it and increasing the chances of it's victory maximizes future Arete windfalls?

well, it's a large Arete expenditure; is the omake power high relative to other decision points? You've mentioned before that omake power plays more of a role when we're spending Arete generated primarily by omakes.
what if them being satisfied makes them no longer need to put in effort?

Hey Microwave voted for Saint!

But seriously, It's currently @Microwave MKII's picture plus 772 words from @Conjured Blade vs about 8k words from @Projectile, @runeblue360 and @Unelemental. That's definitely lopsided even if if the picture is worth something amazing like 3k words or something. At the same, most voters clearly want Saint. It's always hard to let the less voted option win in these scenarios.

Bloodslayer is my second choice, actually; I've just been wanting Undying Vanguard for a while, hence my slight preference towards Saint. I'm actually quite pleased with both of the leading options and would be okay with a Bloodslayer win!
edit: I'm aware it doesn't have UV built in, but in general protections for Gisena and the rest of the party is what I've been wanting for a while

I've also got a reaction for Red of Sky and Fang I posted after Fending off that's 929 words if it's still in consideration for Omake Power calculation.

I can say that for the Bloodslayer though? Bloodslayer can afford a few hours of danger and a slight reduction on physical activities much more then Saint can afford Exhausted.

I think runeblade has even more omake power because he mantains the statement index and character sheet and orm maintains the fanwork index.
But that would contradict Rihaku's word on the matter that overall Saint is safer than Bloodslayer.

It must be raining somewhere else!
Broadly speaking, this would be true, but I think we've presented arguments explaining why escape wouldn't be that difficult overall in the first place. I put forward that Saint is marginally safer than Bloodslayer, but that safety is not more valuable than the avenues of Progression presented to us by Blood Slayer.
