Heroes of Breath get a special ability called "The Breath of Life" that revives the dead. Not a dreamself or a God Tier resurrection, but it actually brings the dead body that the living player kisses back to life. It's not a passive ability, though, so if a Hero of Breath just kisses a dead/dying teammate without turning on their magically Breath powers, it'll result in a normal dreamself resurrection.

>> No. 43151
would it heal the resurectee's body as well?
because it would suck to get resurrected and just bleed out again.
>> No. 43153
I always liked thinking that even though all the players can do the kiss revival thing, only heroes of Life and Breath (and Blood?) actually do it successfully.

Though what you said does make sense, and it would allow Rose to have a shot at god tier.

Theory: Act Five is so long because it's the only act to contain Vriska and Andrew decided to make her a very big deal. Now that Vriska is dead (and, thematically I think, it fits better for her to never appear again), we'll quickly wrap up Act Five and start Act Six.

K, new theory guys.

Sure, you can kill your planet's denizen, but that's not really what they're intended for. And the clue's been there in the name all along.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/denizen

>den·i·zen noun \ˈde-nə-zən\

>2: a person admitted to residence in a foreign country; especially : an alien admitted to rights of citizenship

The denizen's are NOT ON THEIR HOME PLANETS.

This explains why Hephaestus wants to get to Jade's planet. The Forge would be his home. Presumably each other denizen needs to get to another kid's planet which would be their "true home". Doing a tad bit of wiki reading, Echidna, Jade's denizen, is said to live in a cave deep underground "far removed from gods and mortals," which sounds suspiciously like the place John's denizen, Typheus (Typhon) is resting right now.

This does leave a bit of wonder about where Typheus and Cetus each need to end up, but they could each eventually be placed. Cetus, Rose's denizen, is a sea monster, and if it's tough enough, may find a home in either the oil or lava oceans of John's or Dave's planets. Typheus is the hardest to place, but I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader.
>> No. 45783
>>45782
Well Typheus is said to reside underneath a volcano, so...
>> No. 45793
>>45782
It was also said that oil was not a normal part of LOWAS. One of John's planets many problems is that oil clogs the pipes where the Breeze was meant to flow, presumably because of Typheus.

Oil burns and wind fans flames; maybe he belongs in LOHAC.

With LOWAS-Echidna though that means Cetus is in the correct land all along though, and that can't be right. Cetus seems to fit best with LOFAF because of all the snow/water but that means Hephaestus is out of the Forge. Maybe as the Mother of all monsters she is meant to return life to LOLAR's ocean (Cetus ate them all).

LOFAF (Hephaestus), LOHAC (Typheus), LOLAR (Echidna), LOWAS (Cetus) is the most logical answer Ithink.

Theory (p far-fetched one though): Vriska never heads into the future with all the others:
She's god tier and will stay the same for the rest of her life, so she goes into the past and somehow keeps time stable by making everything happen.

What I mean is that Past! Pre-Sgrub! Vriska was Current! Dead! (somehow)Revived! Vriska all along and always will be.

The only things that I have to justify my theory are her jacket and the fact that she has a shit-ton of die.

Well, apart from Breath (wind control), Light (luck manipulation), Time (time manipulation), Space (presumably space manipulation) and Mind understanding and manipulation of actions and timelines) we have no idea what the other classes' abilities are. It's hinted at quite strongly in several cases (Eridan, Sollux, maybe Feferi) but it's not been confirmed.

But yes, presumably they could. We have no idea whether it would still be called, for example, "the spacey thing" though. I hope not because that sounds stupid.

>> No. 46811

I had an idea a while ago, as an extension of a void player's powers.
Since we can assume that being a walking hole in Doc Scratches (and presumably other's) near-omniscience is a passive effect, could more direct shielding abilities be an active use?

So a void player would be a defense/support member of the team, and the void-y thing could be an ubercharge minus the crits or something.
>> No. 46875
>>46807
I can see that. I like to think of the Knight of Blood's abilities are more about making bro's with everyone and maybe get an occasional offensive ability? I think I am focusing too much on the "Knight" part though.

I also think the that ____ of Doom is like a lesser Hero of Time. Like they have knowledge of a certain doomed time line somehow, and maybe have a really powerful ability that Sollux never used because hey, psionics.

I think it's pretty important to remember that the titles have 2 components. The way I always saw it was that the class (heir, witch, etc) determined their role within the team in the capacity you guys are talking about (knight is offense, seer is recon/information gathering, heir has domain over something)
In the situations where we see the players using their powers, the attribute (light, mind, hope, breath) is just the medium through which their class gains its power. Vriska and Rose are both light heroes, but vriska's theif class is offensive (so she can do fortune-based attacks- like dice roles/ random ground collapses), while Rose's seer class is informative (so she can do fortune telling - seeing through the cue ball). Terezi also has the info-gathering class, but instead of fortune telling her medium is psycholo-ALL HAIL HYPNO FROG ALL HAIL HYPNO FROG

he did do the blood brother thing with jack,

and his leadership/strategy/calling_everyone_away_from_what_they_were doing_and_making_them_fight_the_king_and_queen_once_the_reckoning_began could be the Knight's offensive power through the medium of Blood's domain of fraternity
>> No. 46889
I believe that
Blood = Leadership skills
Void = Being a living "dark pocket" in omniscience
Rage = Offensive powers
Hope = Creating hopeful situations through action

Life COULD = Being the bridge between life and the afterlife
Heart COULD = Romantic duties (say no more :/)
>> No. 46890
>>46879
Yeah this.

Although both are Heroes of Space, Kanaya and Jade's powers are different. As Kanaya noted, the title Sylph seems to be a bit more "magical" than the Witch. Aradia and Dave are both Time players, but while Dave has simply jumped around the alpha timeline in confusing manners, Aradia relied on doomed selves to provide for her. While not stated, this is implied to be the difference between classes - all Heroes of Time rely on time manipulation, but the first part of their title is what determines how this power manifests. A Seer of Time, for example, would probably not do time-jumping, but instead be able to see future events and what caused them, and use this to their advantage by influencing things in the present.

I can't really make this comparison with either John/Tavros, John/Equius, Jade/Feferi, Dave/Karkat and Rose/Vriska, since Tavros, Equius, Feferi, Karkat and Rose never really got to show off the more advanced skills of their classes.

>> No. 47300
>>47295
I thought they meant being able to siphon speed from enemies--as they get slower you/your party/whatever gets faster. Neither of the Time characters have that, so it's possible.

Dave travels back and forward in tiny increments to make "clones" of himself. The Knight is obviously an offensive class, and so his style is not about dehabilitating the enemy at all, just hitting it as many times as possible via timeline fuckery.

Aradia managed to freeze Jack completely but I don't think that is her class' signature power. She is aware of everything that goes on in her timeline and has been tasked to set up, maintain and keep track of several important events without complaint. The Maid of Time keeps the timeline clean and stable. She is not [supposed to be] in a combat role at all, and any time-related powers she has (like the stop) are for self-defense.
>> No. 47340
>>47295
Because it is more than just simply stopping or fast forwarding time, this would be stealing time from another person and adding it to your own.

So I had this idea mulling about in my head for a while now that I thought it might be a bit silly, but certain events seem to make this idea a bit more plausible. The basic jist of it is that if and when the fight Lord English the denizens either gives the kids their powers or fuses with them to give them their final forms. Kinda like their own version of Sepulchritude. I didn't think it was plausible at first, but since Jade is possibly gonna try to take almost everything from their universe to the next one it stands a marginal chance of happening.

Another silly, less likely thing to happen is that the trolls would be able to combine with their constellations to transform into some sort of giant deity mode and would be supporting the kids as they fought English. I had this idea after seeing that one Aztec picture of the trolls and another picture if a deity like Vriska.Of course this idea was before the trolls started dropping like flies, but it was a pretty neat thought.

Anyway may main theory or idea is that somehow someone is gonna reach a tier beyond god tier.

Theory: Sburb is balanced kind of like a Final Fantasy game.
You know how in a Final Fantasy game there's an HP cap for characters (9999) and the damage cap is the same? But you are much more likely to reach the damage cap with your best attack than you are to reach the HP cap? And how enemies tend not to hit as hard as players do, but they have more HP?
I imagine it's the same way in Sburb, or at least something to that effect.
That would explain why in most fights between player characters they end up just 1-hitting each other. They simply don't have enough HP/defense/whatever to withstand their own attacks, so it all comes down to the rate their ATB fills up.

Jade instructed herself to save the alchemical code for the fenestrated wall, for reasons yet unknown.

In today's update, Andrew was seen constructing some thing with two windows facing each other, with a yellow yardstick (the condition of his meddling) in between them.

I can think of two possibilities here.
1) Jade will construct an enormous fenestrated wall and use it as the mechanism by which the Medium Lands are shipped over to the new session. The difference in scale between the two apertures will be such that an entire planet would only be one yard wide in Hussie's study.
2) It will involve jailbreaking Aradia; Hussie is one of the few characters that we can reasonably expect to slip under Doc Scratch's omniscient radar.

The Sufferer was never actually angry. Rather, his executioners forced him to act angry; this was meant to try to alienate his followers. Think how Galileo was made to say that his theories were wrong.
It backfired, though, because the betrayed anger he affected ended up being more palatable to many Trolls than his earlier message of peace.
