Mad syrup news (predictions)
Okay so me and my best friend were debating Mad Syrup and I started thinking about how Devsis usually does their Legendary releases and the whole Calamity situation.
My first thought was that Mad Syrup could be a Dark Tagger, especially since Melanchream kinda “took” the Dark element when she honestly feels like she should’ve been Water, while Mad Syrup feels way more naturally Dark.
BUT then I started thinking about the other Calamities. If Mad Syrup is Light, wouldn’t we just have the SAME problem again?? One of the other Calamities has a really obvious pure yellow/Light theme, so if Mad Syrup takes Light too, it kinda feels like Devsis is taking another character’s obvious element away from them.
And I don’t really think Devsis would make 2/4 Calamities Dark either, because that’s literally half of them. The last Calamity is basically screaming Fire + Fighter so I don’t think that one is changing much.
Then there’s the sidekick thing. Every Legendary has had a sidekick that either buffs their kit or needs their kit in some way, so I feel like Mad Syrup’s sidekick could actually be a support instead of another DPS. Especially if Devsis wants Mad Syrup to introduce a completely new team.
And this is where I started thinking about Poison or some other new element.
Moonlight kinda proves Devsis is willing to make a completely new element when a Legendary doesn’t really fit into Light or Dark. She didn’t really belong to either, so they made Mystic. Mad Syrup could have the same problem where he doesn’t cleanly fit into an existing element.
So maybe it’s:
mad syrup = new element / Poison DPS
sidekick = support for that element/team
Or he could be some kind of Mystic/combined element, like Dark/Water or Dark/Earth (Light/Earth feels VERY unlikely tho )
I just don’t think the answer is necessarily “he’s Light because melanchream is already dark ” or “he’s Dark because he’s edgy.” I feel like Devsis might be setting up the Calamities so each one has a different identity, and Mad Syrup might be the one that breaks the existing elemental pattern completely.
Idk tho this is just my theory, but the more I think about it the more I feel like Devsis is cooking something weird with him fr
