What if Lunar Abigail worked like a stand?

OK so hear me out.

 

Gestalt-Abigail and Wendy share a health bar. As long as Wendy's still standing, so is Abigail. But any hit Abigail takes is a hit Wendy takes, either outright or reduced by 70-80%, but bypassing armor.

On paper, this change would be a buff to Abigail's survivability, sense as long as Wendy's not dead, she's good to go. But it also solves the problem of Abigail being able to solo bosses, sense any damage she takes will get sent to Wendy, resulting in her death if she doesn't have any way to keep her health topped up.

 

Obviously some other balance changes would be needed to accommodate this system. But I'd wager it would be a very good jumping off point to making lunar-alignment feel good and distinct compared to the other options.

Whether this will be a good idea may depend entirely on your entire plan......

Sounds like a fun and cool idea but Abigail would need some effect to make it not just an damage boost tho.

Funny idea, better as a mod though
