  1. Even if short term wise it might be a small power up, it is still a strong loss since a better version of this essence (the guardian one from the 8th floor rift, the city of light) already exists and they could have farmed it later, while the custom essence was invaluable since only available on B1, not reliably farmable, and specially crafted to only get benefits, worth at least as much as a level 2 essence according to Bjorn’s own words last chapter.

  2. They will reveal the passive and active effects next chapter. Iโ€™m still pissed regardless at Bjorn. Should have held out for himself and his possibly warped essence. By now, Bjorn should know to have her repeat the information back to him because sheโ€™s purposely stupid.

    In the short term itโ€™s a good trade but in the mid-long term, itโ€™s a massive set back. They can always kill the level 2 monster in the future and get the essence that way or even receive it as a reward/ trade but now she lost the moded broken essence and kept the essence that needs to be replaced still regardless.

    I hope he holds her accountable regardless of the 2nd tier essence pick. He made that essence for her to counteract the -100 fighting spirit from her Hipramagent essence.

    What she got rid of:

    [????]: 3+4+4 grade (blue)[8] A custom essence created by Bjorn. I defeated a synthetic monster created with a mechanical device located in the center of the laboratory factory on the first basement floor and came out on the first try. The passive and active skills are designed to suit a spearman, and the stats are designed to show a strong fighting spirit even if it means losing a little.

    Abilities (Level 3): Fighting spirit and combat-related stats are added.

    (P) Weapons of War (Level 4): This is a combat auxiliary skill. If you use an attack skill 10 times, the damage you receive from [Weapons of War] is temporarily greatly reduced.

    (A) Indomitable Soul (Level 4): The combat buff skill significantly increases physical strength for a certain period of time. This is the active skill that Bjorn was aiming for first.[9] All types of abnormal status effects that restrict action are reduced by 80%. Although it is not immune to CC, considering the 80% reduction and anti-magic power, it can overcome most CC attacks in the blink of an eye.

    What she got:

    [Titanus]: Level 2 (yellow) The original object of Milayel caught on the first basement level. Lee Han-soo's official figure is also very good. Obtained through restrained wish. Since it was said to be good for Erwen due to [Comet Fission] , it is assumed that it is good enough for Einar as well .

    (P) Worship: Doubled all the enhanced effects obtained from the outside. It's a bit of a little bit, but Biyun says it's good enough.

    (A) Recursive: Throw and recover weapons. The thrown weapon must be hit and the power of the skill increases slightly until the battle ends. When you penetrate, you will be recovered immediately and get back half of your souls. After a certain period of time, the throwing weapon returns to the hand of the caster, regardless of the distance. It is also a kind of stacking skill, and it is accumulated three times as it receives a Payback of the soul with the compatibility between 'one point' and 'Samji Chang'. The weapon is also a fresh green, so you can pull out a huge deal. If the stack accumulates more than a certain number of numbers, the stack is initialized, but the next blow is a critical hit.[7]

    1. essences normally comes with a limit on actives vs passives. The only way I see this being a good swap after reading your comment, would be maybe her essence is like a true essence, with all 3 of each potential titanus options stacked in one. If that happens then weโ€™re talking jackpot. If not then yea this was a waste

      1. Those are guardian essences, the rainbow ones. The color determines the abilities in the essence, and rainbow/guardian essences contain all the possible options. Thatโ€™s why when Bjorn got the guardian Vampire essence, he had all those abilities.

  3. Yooooo! From memory and everyoneโ€™s comments. It seems she got the guardian essence of the monster that dropped the spear she uses now?? If so the synergy is going to be insane!

    1. Yep yep! AND its a guardian essence so she likely got a number of abilities.One which returns the projectile thrown, and makes it hit harder each time.Another which throws the projectile in the air and duplicates it.I think there was a lifestyle ability too, if Iโ€™m not mistaken.Only Aynar would get even more rewards for not listening to Bjorn, lolEdit: I stand corrected, its not a guardian :(. Still even one of these abilities is great synergy

      1. A lvl 4 very rare (unique) = a lvl 3 gardian essence (+2) = a lvl 2 essence (+2)It's amazing Bjorn doesn't seem to figure it out althought it's the second time he observe this kind of โ€˜change'They defeated a gardian titanus (and a named one) in B1 but this essence is unlikely a gardian one (โ€˜cause there's no rainbow on the gate)

      2. No, this level 2 essence is a normal one, only the level 3 ones were guardian essences

  4. What Is her level?

    And how many essences she has?

    Didnโ€™t they forget about the lazy giant monster essence?

    1. The Hipramagent essence is a level 2 or 3 essence so it cannot be exhange here (because restrained wish is for essence up to 4)

  5. Had to go back to look it up because I forgot myself, but Titanus is a level 2 monster and presumably one of, if not THE top graduation essences for spear users. They ran into the rift guardian variant in the basement and got Aynars spear from it. (Bjorn is gunna shit himself when he realizes what she got ๐Ÿคฃ)

    1. So is this essence the rainbow guardian essence ? Or did Aynar managed to restrain herself and just choose the spear ? ๐Ÿค”

      2. I believe this one is not a guardian essence, but just an essence of Titanus. The rift guardian Titanus they ran into was a named monster โ€œMilayelโ€ or something like that, and at the time Bjorn had said it would be harder to fight a normal Titanus because it wouldnโ€™t have certain restrictions that the rift guardian had in terms of phases and attack patterns. I have a feeling that next chapter will further elaborate if this is any worse or potentially better than the guardian kind

        1. Oh true, I misread all of them as guardians. Still getting a level 2 from a level 4 homonculus is still amazing

  6. Do we know what essence she deleted? I can't remember what kind of stuff bjorn put together in the underground.

    Titans should definitely be an upgrade tho

    2. Both of hers were bruiser builds with a buff for spear users, from what I remember. One ability had a stat buff after 10 attacks, another had an attack buff for piercing attacks, and both had defense increases.
