Purgatory Design Flaw?

The only way to capture souls with unawakened Purgatory is to fill 9 bars of power, but even when fighting opponents more than double my pi, they die before I can fill 9 bars of power. That's with only sp3 rotation, so I know technically you could just not hit them and try to avoid them while your power fills up, but that's not at all practical. So am I missing something or is this just a really bad design/mechanic?

Yea, you'd think they would have improved the design a bit from Morningstar, not make it worse... 🙄

How could they improve without making OP

Well I don't think Purgatory is OP even with the souls. They only last two fights and aren't crazy or anything. It would just be nice to be able to actually collect them, it's near impossible unless fighting against a substantially large health pool or awakening her, in which case you only capture it after the KO, so you can't get the benefits of capturing it during that fight. Just not a very practical design imo..

@Jake303AoS I'm still trying to master her, cause she's kinda fun to play.

I think the key to getting the 9 bars of power is to first get into demonic rampage. You can usually do this with 5 hit combos and a single special one.

Once you're in demonic rampage, her second medium will drain herself of half a bar of power and apply an incinerate. So when you're in this phase, cross a bar of power, end combo with a medium, repeat.

You're right. They actually say in her spotlight the idea is to bounce back and forth across bars of Power like this @Jake303AoS

Cool, I'll give that a try!
