It and a couple other abnormalities changed names when the translation was redone into something competent. They updated a few of the abnormality names to better match the original text. See also: Big and Will Be Bad Wolf, etc

You may boorishly refer to it as "Pickpocketing", but I prefer "Urban Foraging".

Ah, you're out of the tutorial and can now attribute pages to each other? Yes, you can make some absolutely BUSTED builds with passive attribution. This is also the point in the game where you should start religiously doing the general receptions as soon as they become available since they give you some very strong tools to play around with - the Urban Plague receptions (Workshop-Affiliated Fixers and Jeong's Office) both have some absolutely phenomenal passives that you'll really, really want to make use of. Workshops have a passive that gives you +1 strength if all allies are alive (very useful for general use) and by attributing Mika and Hanafuda to Olga's page you have the beginnings of a very powerful Discard archetype user.

Sotc: Distorted Yan down through the clever expedients of "keep trying" and "get five copies of Duel". Looks like just Xiao to go this tier. Not sure how useful the Yan bits will be against her, but I don't really understand Yan yet, so.

At least purple tear is kinda fun to farm once you do the drudgery of slapping together some basic alt floors, lol.

The main thing to know about the new cards you've gotten is that Will of the City is one of the best cards in the game and frees you from the tyranny of Singleton, and the gibberish keypage itself is an amazing support page with a very good mass attack (though I personally just attribute it to Nikolai to create the ultimate support unit). With the exception of Will and the exclusive pages the rest are a selection of bad to situational - Ominous Power is a standout because it enables some absolutely disgusting Blockma shenanigans when you run three of it with three of the draw card you get off Xiao - you use one ominous power to fuel one Bi An, then Bi An immediately draws them both back into your hand so you functionally have infinite light and cards.

To make a good Yan deck, just make a standard Singleton build and add in Will of the City, Distorted Blade, Lock and Baleful Brand.

Blind Faith is also pretty good imo. Very strong against mass attacks and in power null, which are becoming increasingly a thing at this point in the game. Even outside that the rolls are fine for a net 2 light cost card.

gently caress! I never worked out how to use Blind Faith properly and now it seems so obvious. Oh man, being able to throw out three 8-10 rolls would have made Keter realization so much easier than how I did it (Overcharge + Twelve Fixers).

Distorted Blade/Baleful Brand/Lock are cool but not really that great, they're overcost for their effects. Not terrible, but nothing amazing. Lock especially will very rarely get maximum use due to it's dice layout.

Sword of Volition is a lot of fun. :v:

Blind Faith really needed higher rolls and a bigger penalty to be reliably useful as a niche power null card, imo.

Cool art though.

Welp. Looks like we've got a Distortion in our party for Limbus. Their head's the same as the train icon on the Limbus Company logo, so it's very possible that we're going to spend the game riding around in a Distortion/malformed EGO.

Blind Faith is good only in situations with power null and serious light pressure. Fortunately, three of the most obnoxious encounters in the game (xiao, apocalypse bird, heart of aspiration rematch) fit that profile!

Xiao boss fight down on technically my second attempt. :toot: My first attempt was when I first found it and hadn't cleared anything of that tier yet. It did not go well. Real dramatic squeaker of an ending too - she was about to blow Gebura to smithereens, but had exactly low enough bluebar that Gebura used the infinite speed die to land a Vertical Slash for the killing stagger.

now, the bad news: burning the books didn't give me her keypage :negative:

You know, it took me a while to realize this thread was sharing real estate with another game that came out, and I was really worried that there was this whole upper layer of cards and poo poo that I hadn't even gotten into in an already overwhelming game.

I really love Express Train To Hell btw. It's like "This is incredibly useful... but watch out!"

Also boy Blue Star is a really loving mean abnormality to get on Day 13. I restarted my save because I kind of got in a catch-22 where I was afraid to do any Dusk events but really needed them to progress the story but I had a bunch of abnos that were really mad whenever clerks died and near-impossible to suppress. I'm lucky I had enough LOB lying around to upgrade someone so I could work with it safely. It churns out stats like nobody's business but wow. Baby's first Aleph.

It's really fun! I'm only on Day 21 (my second run after I restarted at about Day 28) but so far it hasn't really been a problem. I can use it to get some really tight researches that I wouldn't otherwise be able to manage due to how much damage they deal to somebody. :toot:

I also forgot about it when trying out new things with a new abnormality, fully intending to restart, and right as I was making some progress a train suddenly ran across the screen, killing half my team instantly. It has such loving hilarious comedic timing.

Also I got the gun from Der Freischütz and was very confused as to why my teammates kept dying :thunk:

Ah yes, AiB. I seem to be in the minority in finding it to be one of the more useful abnos in the game. Then again, I did get it after day 27 and I rushed the Disciplinary department so that made managing it easier. You can keep it contained through the Violet Noon with Der Shooty and an easily farmable (can be forced to escape in just one work) escaping Abno- when you get the heads-up that VN is coming, magic bullet 5 clerks in a threatened department, force the abno to escape, suppress it, rinse, repeat until less than 15 clerks in the facility are threatened by a giant monument squashing them. Still, probably more effort than it's worth.
