Take a look at my profile picture ... that is my expression right now.
Does this allow them to fuse the same spell with itself?

Do you mean to synchronise them?
If so, yes. There is no bonus on synchronising the healing Spells, though.
Synchronize into a new spell yeah. I'm sort of curious what kind of monster fusion Scorching Sunlight with itself produces.
Or what fusing Supernova does. I believe theres an astronomical term for when two stars do a fusion dance and then explode.

They won't fuse.
They will simply unify their damage.
It will still only be Scorching Sunlight.

A spell synchronised with itself remains itself.
Exactly that.

How I expect this to go: (note, only Sun can use Radiance)
(Scorching Sunlight: +10240 Base Damage, +210 dice =10450 Total Damage 15,675 Radiance
Scorching Sunlight: +10240 Base Damage, +210 dice = 10,450 Total Damage
26,125 Unified Damage, x2 Complete Connection = 52,250 Total Damage
Some poor Bastard: +0 Base Resilience = 0 Total Damage Reduction
52,250 Final End Damage)

Very nice!
Once Sun buys Multi-Caster for her weapon, will this allow her to cast Baleful Eclipse solo.
Oh cool, that was one of my guesses for what it does!
This is quite nice. Basically an extreme resistance to Armor Pierce variants.
How does it stand up to things like Slayer abilities (if this ability is tied to an Affinity) and Sudden Death? Is the "for any reason" absolute enough to stop that stuff?
Interesting update to this shop item. Considering what it's replacing, it should be very powerful defensively.
And should greatly increase the value of Otherworldly Radiance.
Probably mis-phrased it.
The long and short of it is that their weapons and abilities belong to their bodies/MG forms, while their spells are in their mind.
So both Sun and Moon can cast Scorching Sunlight, but only Sun's could benefit from Radiance, and each special Omni-Caster is counted separately.
An attack hits Sun and Moon, and it resolves against their defenses individually, because they don't share health pools. Figuratively, if they're both in the same fight, yes (Shining Protector -> Mistress of the Tide, resulting in an attack that punches through Veil of the Solar Goddess whiffing against Veil of the Lunar Goddess) but not literally. As such, when they're separated it's important to keep track of which MG is where and doing what, because they have different abilities.
There are almost certainly edge cases, but I'm not sure where those are. Perhaps if we'd gotten Veil of the Solar Goddess but not Veil of the Lunar Goddess (for some reason) the immunity to mind-altering effects wouldn't have any issues covering 'both' minds.
It's not quite a One Plus One Equals One scenario, because there are still two people and bodies involved. Two distinct Magical Girls, even if their minds are so interconnected they can't tell the difference between themselves anymore (which actually makes me a little sad, no matter how cool the Archon Merge is I enjoyed the distinction between Eva and Rico and the confusion therein. Oh well, growth is like that sometimes) to such an extent they use the singular 'I'.
Probably provided too much detail...
Eh, jack of most trades, really. They certainly do fill most of the common roles of any given adventuring party with Moon's Paladin doing double-duty as both healer and tank and Sun's Pryomancer filling in for the fireball-spam wizard, lacking only a stealth-type, but they certainly don't cover the sheer volume of roles that have shown up in the interim. No buffs, debuffs, summons, item crafting, crowd control, etc.
While I absolutely agree with you about leveling up other things - Flight, Sun's Resilience, spells, Moon's Scepter, etc; I believe that Primordial Legacy and Self-Sufficiency are both critical for deployments when they're separated, largely due to the descriptions of the abilities: 'Stand strong even when your _ is far away' and 'There is no need to depend on your Sun entirely; you will not falter either with or without her'.
I want to grab Speed Gap before leveling up Flight a bunch, because it's description sounds like it's meant to be useful when otherwise our opponent would be faster than us.
If Speed Gap helps us when we're slower, it reduces the benefits of leveling up Flight, and if it helps us when we're faster then we'd want both it and Flight levels.
Just want to avoid the scenario of leveling up Flight, then purchasing Speed Gap, and then finding that Speed Gap is for dealing with fast enemies.

No.
Also, Otherworldly Radiance is not based on any Affinity; Sudden Death cuts through it like butter, though. Sudden Death cuts through near anything, anyway.
Oh, not to worry. I quite liked to read this.
Just clearing up one thing that might have been misunderstood: anything Moon takes via Shining Protector is Final End Damage; Veil of the Lunar Goddess has absolutely no effect on it and neither has any of her other defensive measures.
Had a feeling that was the case, but wanted to be sure since absolute statements like "for any reason" don't really get used very often.
Wanted to see whether or not it is as absolute as Two Minds Joined in Harmony, which is the only other example we have of that kind of phrasing.

Yeah, I noticed that.
Shining Protector takes in Final End Damage, FED
Veil of the Lunar Goddess negates Total End Damage, TED
What it means is that Moon may effectively use her own body as an auxilary health pool for any of her allies - but she forsakes her own defenses and relies on theirs - because it's not her that is attacked.
Which means improving her healing spell would be beneficial.
Question - can Moon and Sun benefit from synchronized "damage" when casting Soothing Moonlight on Moon, from both of them?
Apropos of nothing - I didn't notice you changed your avatar picture, @Naron...

You noticed it rather fast, actually. I only switched a few hours ago.
The difference is that Two Minds Joined in Harmony is both a Super Ability and does not have any effect on damage.

Blame Dragou, he called you Kyubey. I wondered who's this Kyuubey who's answering the questions only a member of dev team should answer (the post just above my questions), checked the name - and it was yours.

That is because Dragou knows Kyubey is one of my favourite characters.
(I actually switched only after they called me that)

After going through and reading "My Thoughts" I have a couple thoughts. One being that the twins now sound like they have done the mental equivalent of the DBZ fusion dance and two I am confused with the way it's worded with how I think that it's hinting to a future connection upgrade but also maybe not but I still feel like it's hinting towards something.
has anyone else got an opinion regarding the "My Thoughts" changes?
has anyone else got an opinion regarding the "My Thoughts" changes?
Main difference to the My Thoughts is that everything is in first person singular (I). No longer is any of it in first person plural (We) or third person (one twin saying what the other thinks).
I highly doubt that there's any further upgrades to the Connection besides adding new people to it and upgrading their Connection tier.
If there is another tier above Absolute Connection though, it probably replaces both Absolute Connection and Two Minds Joined in Harmony.
And probably also has No Longer Human as a prereq.
A "become a Divine Being" upgrade.

It is a nice ability and it is a natural progression from the previous connection, but I kind of want the ability to turn it off at will. I think part of the charm of this quest was that we actually had two separate characters to roleplay, and though they were similar they could express their own individuality. Now we have just the one character. There won't be any more banter between the two.
Can we add an purchasable upgrade somewhere where we can add a dial of how close in thoughts the twins choose to be?

I understand the whole I instead of we or "name" thing but I noted that in the first tab that she(/they) seemed confused on her(/their) own identity and immediately after they noted she(/they) should look into it more.
unless I am looking to deeply into it?
They understand their own identity perfectly fine, they just don't know how to describe it to other people.
They don't know how to respond if someone asks "What's your name?", because neither "Rico" nor "Eva" is correct anymore.
If someone walked up to one of them and asked "Are you Eva or Rico?", the proper response would be "Both".
