Sooo... yeah... Shrouded Nerscylla... Looks like I'm on the minority here. Gotta say I'm pretty sad my favorite 4U monsters got shitty subs.

I know Berserk Tetsu discussion was weeks ago but I don't care, gonna hate on it anyways. I really dislike its color scheme, it just looks like puke to me and it's just a reskinned Tetsu with wider hitboxes. The boulders should inflict Blast but they don't. So there's nothing really new about this guy. Pretty bad subspecies.

Now with Shrouded Ner, back when the second 4G trailer was released my first reaction to it was a very loud "FUCK!" in my head. Ner should have been the 4th gen Gobul, he didn't really need a subspecies, he was fine as it was IMO. And this new subspecies already looked worse than the original. But I tried not to be bias and wait for the gameplay. Aaaand it didn't make me change my opinion. It's hardly different from vanilla Nerscylla, other than the "throw it in the desert and give it paralysis" policy of 4U subs. It swings around and digs to make up for the lack of 3D combat Nerscylla has. And those are both pretty annoying attacks, because Shrouded often spams them. Its Arena quest, in fact, comes down to RNG because of it. It's not hard to get S actually, but if it decides to be an asshole and swing 18 times in a row/remain underground for 50 minutes you just won't get a good time. Its weapons are also really lazy. For some reason they are the final upgrade of Ner weapons instead of branching out. They don't even have Paralysis, they just keep the Sleep ailment for some reason I cannot understand. So you're stuck with the same good 'ol Ner weapons with a worse color scheme. What's the point of that?
