This is also the case with storm spriggan/spryzan. Has anyone else noticed this and does anyone have any ideas as to why? And as I only have 1 S2 energy layer and 2 red S energy layer, is this the same for all spriggan layers?

Thankfully that problem is less apparent with Hasbro slopes so all layers are much more competitively viable.

Unfortunately it kind of ruins the layer for me as I feel it just doesn't have the potential it could because I personally feel it bursts too easily compared to most other layers. Maybe I just haven't got the right parts yet but something just doesn't feel right about it, especially having gotten an excalius the other week and feeling the difference in burst rates spriggan just doesn't feel right anymore which really sucks because I love spryzan on the show

Here's a recommendation, pair Spriggan/Spryzen with a light disk like Armed, that'll improve it's resistance to bursting.

Its kinda like its either all or nothing, and 7 times out of 10 spriggan rolls a nothing. Its not that I haven't tested it at all, although with limited parts its restricted, it needs to be really fresh to hold up in a real fight, but it wears down really quickly and its burst rate becomes quite noticeably increased. Idk if anyone else has noticed this or not, I should note that I haven't tested S2 properly yet.
