I know a lot of people are contemplating running both Reforged and the OG Emperor. I’m one of those people. But I also made sure I understand the difference between the two Emperor subs.
Here is an easy way to understand it: think about the idea of courage, or more specifically, how each sub addresses fear.
The OG Emperor will have you face fear head-on because you love challenges. You see the fear, you feel it, and you want to go through it and master it.
Reforged is more about alignment. You will find yourself becoming deeply aligned with the goals you want to achieve, especially the ones that are near and dear to your heart. Because of that alignment, fear may simply not exist in the same way, or you will barely feel it. The goal matters so much, and you are so aligned with it, that taking action feels natural.
People watching from the outside may see you take the exact same action and probably won’t be able to tell the difference.
Only the person running the subs will know whether they are taking action because they want to run through fear and master it, or because they are so aligned with the goal that fear barely enters the equation.
That being said, I’m still going to build a custom with both Emperor cores though.
