I ended up beating her the first time without any special setup, but purely via luck I think. Standard Gebura build with Nikolai, PT, smoke build and Esther. No specific strategies, just threw big dice at her until I won.

It's a real bloody shame that Xiao's book is a requirement for Binah's Realization, since Binah's Exodia setup demolishes her if you get it off. Another piece of advice: engage with her mechanics as best you can (clash with that card every turn the power's on) and swap floors for the second round. Sending a fresh floor at her while she's at emotion 1 will let them last a lot longer, and let you bring in your high emotion floor from the first round after they soften her up. Start off with Binah or Hod, swap to Yesod when you beat the first round and try to get off a Metallic Ringing since her stagger does not recover between rounds, then finish her off with your pre-prepared floor. Alternatively, you can throw all that out and do it THE REAL MAN'S WAY. Load up Gebura with 3x steel knuckles, 3xspear and 3xlevel slash, lone fixer, Myo's Prowess and Health Hauler, her mooks with Udjat pages loaded up with weak multi hit pages like Opportunity Spotted, lose as many clashes as you can while keeping your mooks alive to generate as many red coins as possible and go for Mountain of Corpses so you can duel her to death with Super Saiyan Gebura.

honestly even without resorting to weaponized cheese Blind Faith in everyone's deck goes a long way towards making that fight easy, it does an insane amount of work for its cost. on power-null turns it outclashes everything in her deck, including the mass attack, for an effective cost of 2.

I’m really struggling on this section of Impuritas Civitas: I’ve done the entirety of the blue reveberation without any issue, up until the Hokma fight. I’ve tried multiple times, and just can’t make it work. By doing the fight “honestly” and engaging the mechanics, I’ve defeated the shades but then died to him resummoning the shades while still making GBS threads out damage. I’ve also tried doing a gimmick blockma strategy where I strip the assistant librarians, and have block PT utilizing block=damage to try to whittle down pluto. Using the energy contract allows for powerful block counter dice machine gunning. Unfortunately, every time I stagger it gives hokma light, which makes him lose HP. Even with corpse cleaning the light refunds kill me right when i get pluto to <50 health It’s so frustrating that a build that should work is getting undercut by a poorly documented mechanic that took me two tries to figure out what was happening...

I just had the assistants take all the contracts. With all the block passives, Hokma shouldn't need a boost.

Give him the light cost randomization one and a deck full of serpentines/bi ans but none of the others.

Also, generic Zwei keypages have the 'Keep In Stride' passive that heals you upon winning a clash, which is pretty good for a Blockma build. Admittedly the only contract I bothered to put on Hokma was the clashing one, since in Guard stance he ignores the downsides.

Spoilers for the final fights: Fun code interaction I just saw. You know how Distorted Argalia has a mechanic to stop himself from dropping below 1 HP so that, at the end of the round, the game can play the cutscene of Roland killing him? Turns out that if you kill Argalia but he then proceeds to kill your last surviving librarians in his little immortality period before the round ends, the cutscene won't trigger and it counts as his win.

https://twitter.com/LiberareLimbus/status/1448933073970622469 New Limbus, based on "Hell Screen" Wikipedia posted:"Hell Screen" is narrated by an uninvolved servant who witnesses or hears of the events. The plot of "Hell Screen" centers on the artist Yoshihide. Yoshihide is considered “the greatest painter in the land”, and is often commissioned to create works for the Lord of Horikawa, who also employs Yoshihide’s daughter in his mansion. When Yoshihide is instructed to create a folding screen depicting the Buddhist hell, he proceeds to inflict tortures upon his apprentices, so he can see what he is trying to paint. Supernatural forces seem to be present; one time, Yoshihide speaks in a devilish voice. The story climaxes when Yoshihide asks the lord to burn a beautiful lady in a carriage so he can finish the screen. The lord concedes, but, in a macabre twist, Yoshihide must watch as his daughter Yūzuki and her monkey are the ones who burn. The story ends with the magnificently horrible screen completed, and Yoshihide’s suicide by hanging.  Those seem to be the Fingers in the back.

I mean yeah, but with the Pinky you can sort of immediately visualize their whole deal, whilst the Ring is just... 70's disco villains in garish multi-pattern suits? Is that what that is? And the Ring is supposed to be the really brutal one, at least according to Sayo. I'm curious

Wellp, picked up Library of Ruina thanks to TeeQue's excellent LPs, and now I've hit my 2nd (2.5th? Struggled with Spider Bud for a couple of tries before taking a...blunt approach to the fight) big roadblock in Urban Plague after Dawn Office, the Queen of Hatred. Unlike that first fight that I defeated thanks to discovering the power of Walter shenanigans, her ranged pages are messing me up something fierce, and I'm too used to playing with floors that have at least one abnormality suppressed, so Tiph & company's decks are probably too light-heavy. Honestly kind of feels like a fight that I should come back to later, but I'm curious if it is possible to suppress that one without taking on Wedge Office or Love Town.

GilliamYaeger posted:The second fight on the far left is the Kurokumo Clan, who specialise in slash attacks and bleed effects. If you just stack as much bleed as you can, the Abno will basically kill itself. You don't need to directly clash with Mass Attacks. Just put attacks that can outroll them in the dice they target, and have those dice target her other dice. Also, don't clash every attack. Just focus on the "In the Name of" attacks and let "With Love" pass by in favor of getting one-sided attacks on, especially if that means getting free bleed on her. Maybe redirect "Arcana Beats" if you have enough speed and a designated tank, but I doubt that can be reliably done and I didn't need it to take her down. Finally, offensive melee dice can keep being recycled as long as they deflect ranged dice, so melee cards with one big die work wonders against multiple small ranged dice.

You need to decide whether to transform her or not. She's harder when transformed, but whenever I fought her and tried not to transform her it always went "she's almost staggered, whoops that's a lot of purple, oh hey she transformed which includes full damage and stagger heal" and then I died. Eventually I did one more non-abnormality flight for slightly better combat pages and just transformed her ASAP and took her out, but that fight is very hard.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to stagger her unless she gets winded after transforming and using her mass attack. The advice I gave in my last post is for beating her without triggering the transformation. It felt like, once I realized the tips I shared, I had a breakthrough and suddenly she wasn't that hard to beat anymore, though maybe I just got lucky.

So no Keter Realization, no Reverb Encore, and I believe no Fight Against The Head. It works, but it's much more of an down note, that doesn't really give any kind of indication of how things are going to proceed (and I believe it also doesn't establish that people got unbooked). People were widely Not Happy about it, with some dipshits being Not Happy to the point of death threats. Ultimately, they changed it, and while I can't say part of me isn't happy that Death Threat Idiots got their way, I would have to say that I think the story is better for it, even if it is more stuff piled onto the already very long ending sequence.

Interesting. I feel like the game could've probably ended after the Black Silence fight (and I guess the pseudo-cutscene fight with The Head) and it'd have been fine. The other fights were cool, but the pacing feels way off. Not sure how or where you'd fit a Keter realization in earlier than that though. I don't think Reverb mk.2 were really needed, especially as their fight was so easy.
