I think tylo and sarco have their roles reversed
Hello all!
Basically the title. I recently grew both a tylo and a sarco, and I think their respective roles should be swapped. Right now, as a sarco, your main fighting chance against semi-aquatics and aquatics is to lure the opponent into the depths and then drain their oxygen and stamina with your attacks. Otherwise, all you can do is escape to land.
However, I think that this "drag down to the depths" role would suit the tylo better.
The tylo is a full aquatic, so it would fit their theme more to focus their combat in deep, open water. The sarco, as a croc, should have their place in rivers and shallow water, but right now, tylos rule these areas because sarcos can't effectively use their oxygen draining attacks on them there.
So I think the roles should be reversed. The tylo should have the attack to drain oxygen and stamina (maybe instead of their bone break), and the sarco should have their water-based skillset more focused on fighting in shallow water. It could get an ability that deals more damage or fracture (with no full bonebreak) against targets that have more than 80% oxygen, so this way it could focus on "water surface" combat more.
I have been playing PoT on and off since sarco came out (not the TLC for sarco, since it came out as a playable), so I think overall sarco is close to being in a good place now. It is not the absolute terror it used to be and it is not useless as it was at some point, but as I elaborated here, I think their roles with tylo are a bit mixed up.
What do you think about this? Should sarco focus more on shallow water playstyle, or is it good that tylos rule the rivers now? Let me know what you think.
