Why doesn’t Guillotine apply a Bleed Curse/Pain Link Buff?

It would have made so much more sense if Guilly’s Bleed Curse had been a stackable or indefinite buff instead of a debuff. Pain link may have been more difficult to implement, but Bleed Curse doesn’t cause any damage itself.

This way, Guilly could have increased her bleed rate on crits, and still have some tough Science matches against opponents that can’t gain buffs. Ah well, missed opportunities and all.

Guilly’s Bleed Curse is stackable. If it was also indefinite, she’d be mad broken

It’s stackable, in that you can probably get 2-3 on your opponent and get a special off before they fall off in 10 seconds. So you get an extra bleed or two on specials, which you have to fire off and trade off your souls (and their attack boost) in order to benefit.

It was a missed opportunity to allow Guilly to work better against opponents that aren’t buff heavy, as well. Dr. Voodoo and Mojo place buffs to benefit themselves. Guilly being able to apply an indefinite bleed curse buff would have helped mitigate the constant need to parry/heavy with her miserable block prof, as well as give her a greater chance to place bleeds without trading away souls.

If it were to be indefinite, they would have to be capped at 2-3 for balancing reasons.
Also, Guilly's entire "buff" was a missed opportunity
