As I've stated before- each ecotic that deserves its status (or at least most) are able to provide new Playstyles or synergize with builds- take for example carlo's melee prowess or Thorn's shield prevention/ pseudo-radar. Apparently not all exltics are upgrading. So apparently there won't be as many ways to play the game. Hopefully all ways to play are released in due time, whether that be the thorn way, the invective way, or the Mida way.
