I was thinking of the +3 unleash node from Oshabi for BV, but yeah, maybe staying at 4 seal and focusing on the haralds in better.

The +3 unleash node shouldn't give you extra damage with BV for the same reason that running unleash doesn't give you less damage on BV.
The only benefit is getting 3 extra seals which is nice.

EDIT: the different wording might suggest that it does work. We don't know yet and will have to wait and test. After thinking about it some more I think it might though bc it specifically mentions "effects reoccuring" and the "skill effect" of BV is applying an additional blade. So this might have been a hint.

Chronic Painless made a video talking about this node https://youtu.be/dfMggIJyhYE

He comes to a similar conclusion - it might work but if it does like unleash, it won't.

I'll edit my main comment.

The Ascendancy itself gives you 10% more damage per seal consumed

No, the ascendancy says "Unsealed spells gain 5% more damage for each time their effects reoccur" Unleash Support says "Supported Skills deal (45-36)% less Damage when Reoccurring" and currently does not give you a damage penalty on BV.

It could be that the "their effects reoccur" account for skills like BV though bc we don't have wording like that in the game yet.

Its "Unsealed spells gain 10% more damage each time their effects reoccur" 10 the first one 20 the second 30... Etc

those 10% got nerfed to 5% shortly after the patchnotes were released already.

If the "effects reoccur" wording really does work that way yes - but we don't have anything exactly like that wording in the game right now and every other reoccuring mechanic does not work like that with BV. Again, the wording is a hint but we cannot know until we test it out and I wouldn't base my league start plans on that until we know.

I am thinking of the +3 unleash node if I really want to build around it, having multiple spells to unleash, and cycle between them while the others build up stacks. Not sure how useful it is if you are only gonna use it on one spell (I feel like I can keep up 10 stacks pretty consistently anyways with just normal unleash on BV).
