Hi,
I made a new run and made screenshots every level. Long story short. Anima powers do disappear.
In specific Unceasing Chain Link.
When you ramp it it makes doing higher levels worthwhile.
I have screenshot to back it up I just don’t know where to post them but I guess someone in development just needs to run with a subt rogue and they will probably notice the issue soon enough.
I start Floor 7 with 3 of them. Then I get the “The Last Blade” from the portal add and my “Unceasing Chain Link” drops to 2 when adding the last blade.
Then I reach Floor 12 and Unceasing Chain Link drops to 1 somewhere during floor 11 probably.
Then on floor 12 I get to buy Unceasing Chain Link for 125 Phantasma. Putting it back to 2, whereas it should be 4 I guess if I didnt lose them.
Then I reach floor 15 and all Unceasing Chain Link are Gone?!?!? I had to start boss with none and it made it a looong fight in which I was happy to have the big jump power for Synod. Also I was able to get Crimson Vial to instant with it giving feint/cloak/evasion and that made me able to kill boss becoming near invincible or should be I guess. Also funny thing, using the vial sometimes didnt give all 3 as the anima power does state and therefor you still risk a near oneshot at high stacks on boss.
So I have no clue how to do higher levels as a rogue if your strongest anima powers (even though they have a grey color) disappear. I will try a level 2 just for fun but I can not see rogues doing an 8 quickly unlike maybe other classes. From what I hear and read in /1 balance is still work in progress in Thorgast. I just hope this input helps.
Rogues without these powers hit stuff like a wet noodle. Even with incr. life you finally are not beaten by the boss but the stacks they have been able to accumulate over time and with running out of cooldowns to interrupt and interrupts not working over time anymore to prolly diminishing returns.
Rounding it up I finally found other sources of irritated rogues have their Unceasing Chain Link removed.
I hope someone has the time to set something up in a “lab” of sorts and test it and hopefully correct it.

A post on reddit I found mentioning the same issue.

Apparantly an earlier post was made about the same issue.
