Why 30? What about 35, or 45? Why not nerf portal size, or other stats?

Why 30? What about 35, or 45?

Simply put, you're dead if you're bone broken against Inkfell.

If you get hit by two portals, if they dealt 40 or 45 damage, you'd be bone broken.

What about 35? Well, if you get once hit by his M1, that'd also bone break you because it'd deal 80 damage, and the bone broken threshold is 20 HP.

With 30 Devil's Rage damage, you not only fix his insta-kill, but you also make it hard to bone break you. The only way would be getting hit by his M1 twice, and if he's gotten close enough to you for long enough to hit you twice, he should definitely be rewarded for it by a guaranteed kill.

Inkfell could hit you once, and then hit you with a portal explosion, and you'd still have 25 HP. Not bone broken, but almost dead. Healing from there would also bring you up to 90 HP, which will leave you bone broken if you get M1'd and Devil's raged again, which I believe is fair.

Inkfell also doesn't need to be able to bone break people easily. He is already able to outstamina and outrun you while inked if he just has good portal placement, if you're bone broken it's essentially game over.

Why not nerf portal size, or other stats?

Because his other stats aren't the issue. His stamina is perfectly fine, he should have TONS for how slow he is. His debuff is the only way he can keep up with survivors, and his portals are his best way of apply that debuff as Devil's Dive is unreliable and better used for mobility rather than the debuff.

If you nerf the portal size, Inkfell becomes extremely map reliant. Where he would be fine on maps like the forest or pillars, if you nerfed the portal size, he's completely done for. People can just walk around the portals, and he can do nothing to keep up with them. They won't get the inked debuff, and he won't be able to do anything about it.

As for his DMG, if Inkfell hits you twice, as I said, he should be rewarded by bone breaking you. This near guarantees you're dead, which is good for inkfell because you should die if he gets to get that close to you.

Over all, Inkfell's issues don't come from anything but Devil's Rage.

Nerf Devil's Rage DMG to 30, and you've completely and entirely fixed Inkfell.

Good job. It's that simple.
