Notes
Soul Burn Sacrifice adaptability:
Soul Burn Sacrifice will add 25% defense to Gosuto Nobu for each application. It wont stack on one target but you can attack up to three targets and each one increases the base defense for Gosuto Nobu. So you are looking at 25% for one target, 50% for two targets, and 75% defense if you are attacking all 3 targets. It works like this because the damage you take each round from SBS stacks on Gosuto Nobu. If he's doing 5 damage to all 3 targets every round, he is also taking a combined 15 damage each round! So a 75% defense increase is critical to keeping him alive long enough to truely threaten the enemy! With this in mind, when one of the targets affected by SBS dies, the 25% defense is removed and Gosuto Nobu no longer takes 5 damage each round from that target.

Embrace of the Maidens conditional team heal:
Healing is based on how many targets are being affected by Touch of the Forgotten. You get 10 points of healing for your whole team for each enemy. So if you are able to connect with all 3 enemies, your team can be healed for 30 points. Since there is no cooldown, and Touch of the Forgotten lasts for two rounds, you can use Embrace of the Maidens twice in a row for a possible 60 points of healing before Touch of the Forgotten wears off. Keep in mind this would require two blues and two blacks to pull this off back to back.

Touch of the Forgotten defense disable for healing prep:
This technique is a prerequisite for Embrace of the Maidens. The move is blockable of course but if it connects it will disable the enemy team's defensive techniques for the next two rounds. This is important because during this time, Embrace of the Maidens is enabled and can be used without worrying about someone using a team invulnerability move (ie: Bug Wall) that would prevent you from healing off the targets affected by Touch of the Forgotten. One thing you DO have to worry about are stunners looking to pin you long enough for Touch of the Forgotten to wear off, leaving you unable to heal until you can prep it again!
