Hong lu currently has 2 EGO armors available to him, Tingtang gang shirt and pink shoes E.G.O suit, I am going to talk about why these EGO armors should be changed or how.

Tingtang gang shirt is really overpowered, once you get 30 stacks, you can deal 3000 damage with a blowdart while at 30 stacks, and getting these 30 stacks is extremely easy, before a bossfight, you could simply kill 30 bees to get these 30 stacks and you'll be able to shred any boss, another issue is that how 30 stacks interact with other damage modifiers, like spicy volt goat Chaud-froid. In the best conditions, aka you're using a blowdart, have 30 stacks, are using spicy volt goat Chaud-froid and the target is wet, you can deal about 9500 damage in a single hit.

Potential fixes are either tweak the numbers or rework it:

My idea for the rework is simply remove the stacking system and replace it with a crit chance system, here's how it would work:

While having higher sanity, your crit chance would increase, and a critical hit could do something like 3x the damage or something like that, I feel like this would be more accurate to Hong Lu's tingtang gang ID.

Now for pink shoes E.G.O suit, I'd say it needs buffs when compared to the other EGO armor, so I'd say increase the damage of the whip to a 55 and increase the flaws damage bonus to like 25%, with these changes, it'd make it a viable support EGO armor, whilst still being able to pack a punch.
