Best combination for John regarding fighting against EMBER
By taking the consideration of EMBER'S traits and specialities, I came to the conclusion that there are abilities that John could copy to show the similiar traits of EMBER. EMBER agents usually have regeneration, flaming claws and exceptional speed. these traits can be taken from the very abilities that John had previously copied from users who had such abilities or the abilities that he would copy in the future. The following down there are the combinations and explainations of those combined abilities.
Combination 1:
Meili's Claw
Remi's lightning
Zeke's shifting
Tanner's Regeneration
To my perspective, This combination shows quite the match for the specialities of EMBER. Just the difference is it could only develop lightning claw rather than flames. So ig that'd be more useful for John in this case. Plus, Lightning could help him speed up even more and with Zeke's shifting ability, it could be much easier to tackle God-tier/High-tier EMBER agents. Even if John got injured, He could use Tanner's regeneration to fix the wound. There was a chapter where Tanner's regeneration came in handy to fix his broken wrist.
Combination 2:
Isen's predator form
Blyke's energy beam
Jaxson's Umbra Shift
Brims' Botanist.
The second combination seems to be more useful than the first one. Isen's predator form would bring enhanced senses and claws for John to deal with EMBER. with Blyke's energy beam to make those claws more effective, there's a chance that he can easily take down EMBER agents very well. But the only issue is with shifting, UMBRA shift could only work if there's a shadow to pass through. Though in nighttimes, John still has an advantage in terms of shifting positions, the only problem that remains is the speed. For regeneration, Brims' Botanist does have it in his sleeve. Plus, Those vines can be very useful to ensnare EMBER agents.
What's your favourite one? Is there any combination which anyone of y'all want to suggest? I am excited to learn that!
