the only burn identity I apparently still need is LCCB Rodion, who is a 00 so you'd think I'd get her soon

besides, nothing wrong with having a communist on the team

She does carry Fourth Match Flame very well though, so she partners effectively onto a Burn team for now. At this point we've only got two real Burn-interacting IDs and then all the other support is from EGO: Hopefully the summer will heat things up. :v:

speaking of burn, I'd like to see ishmael get a burn identity; Ardor Blossom Star makes it so she does the fiery waltz thing of spreading burn when hitting someone with burn, except its on every attack once she uses it a single time; I can imagine the numbers getting extremely silly on a team dedicated to it.

Right now a Burn team would have to basically be Liu Greg and Meur, and then some combo of Yi Sang/Ryoshu/Ishmael/Rodion with their burn-based EGO (Fourth Match Flame or Ardor Blossom Star)

The combat changes are interesting, but the biggest issue I've seen with fights in this game is that there's never a reason to save any of your bigger attacks. Stagger is a big deal so blowing people up as fast as possible seems like it pretty much just causes a cascade failure. Light and cards made that seem less practical in Ruina. In Limbus I don't think I've ever had a reason to use like, throat slice over shank or mutilate on Hong Lu.
Your decks are maintained between rounds, so if you blow all your good stuff on one wave you'll be stuck with your lovely skill 1 for a few turns in the next.

You can't use the support trick in dungeons, right? Just rushed to 3-22 because we're losing the cheese tomorrow and I'd been having a hard enough time with the 3-x fights already. Got tired of the game crashing on the third wave of 3-13 when I started using EGOs so I finally grabbed the Steam version. 3-17 and 3-18 were a little rough but I managed it with the help of a max level uptied Tingtang Hong Lu. He's really good, except when he's not! Expecting the dungeon to be real rough, but I can also just wait a bit for more xp ticket farming, uptying more IDs (not sure which once I get some more thread, though I'm tempted to do Gregor G Corp for healing and general tankiness), etc.

We just got 99 more lunacy to go with the 1 so I suspect they are happy with their mail system testing.

Overall pretty happy with the game outside of my phone having some issues with it, but it is somewhat old (and has poo poo memory space left) so I can't blame the game too much.

Same, just reached 3-22 in preparation for support bug fixing. That said I still have to EX 3-17 and 3-18, they're noticeably harder than the rest jeez.

I tried going with a support Reindeer Ishamel but I still have deaths and don't DPS fast enough. Wondering if I should uptie someone specifically for these stages, go with base Ishmael and bring another support.

It is kinda rough how the level curve just shoots up when level is so important since being underlevelled means enemy skills have unbeatable numbers.

It probably won't include new units because it's a separate banner where you use the ticket based on experience. They could update it on maintenance today but they probably won't.

Also thank god I EX'd 3-17. Turns out the missing piece was Liu Gregor of all identities, he's a Blunt unit with loads of coins on his skills which is important because multicoins are just. Better than single coins.

Now to see if he works on 3-18 as well and I can rest easy.

He did work. By the hang of a thread, it came down to Outis staggering the boss and Faust rolling a heads on turn 10 or otherwise the boss would have survived.

Now I can just worry about who to upthread for the dungeon and which Sinclair identity to use since I wanna bring him.

I used Zwei Sinclair a lot during Chapter 3 because he's Blunt and I felt it was thematic, but then I dropped him because he's garbo. Two lackluster one coin skills, and even his two coin one is just a 6+1, and to top it all off just absolutely abysmal offense growth, meaning enemies are getting +1s and +2s against him even at relative level parity.

The passives work backwards, she gets boosted when targeting people with bleed/burn, which sort of makes sense as an evolution of the N-Corp Fanatacism boosting off blood/nails. I think it might be a translation problem, not a functionality one.

Checking out, a support Blade Sinclair might be nice as long as the friend put T3 Impending Day on him, since it lets him generate Wrath or Pride (AKA Faust knows everything spam). But that requires having a friend who invested on both that ID and uptying an EGO :v:

Oh, thanks! I don't have Blade, Seven is bad as some have mentioned and Mariachi is fun but underwhelming, but I still wanted to bring him to the dungeon.

I guess I have to think of teammates for him. He produces Gluttony and Pride so Outis with Ebony Stem would be a good addition, Faust for similar reasons... and then Hong Lu and someone else? I can still uptie 2 00 identities or 1 000 so I could bring Kurokumo/Tingtang Hong Lu...

this is all a ploy to get you to buy lunacy so you can spend it on the daily paid reduced pull, since that lets you manipulate the 1s digit of your lunacy.

The only weird part of it is that I'm not sure if she has a way to apply burn at all in that fight? So it could still be a functionality error, but like, it does boost her in a way that makes sense relative to other members of N Corp so shrug?

Plus there's been a translation error or two elsewhere I'm pretty sure.

I mostly focused on getting Impending Day up and using it often. I think Sins in story dungeons carry over like they do in Mirror Dungeons, which is to say that your end-of-fight Sin count is halved and then carried over into the next fight. Impending Day is 3x Wrath and 2x Lust and its passive gives +5 to the Sin of an attack when Sinclair kills with it, so if he uses Impending Day once in a fight and then kills with his Wrath attack the next turn, you'll get 6x Wrath and you'll immediately meet the Wrath requirement at the start of the next fight. So the big requirement is having enough Lust, which both Hong Lus help with.

What's the thing about egoshards decaying at the end of a season? I got a dupe from the guaranteed 3* pull and I don't have anything to save up for Rodion at the moment so I was thinking of converting it into sweet, sweet thread since I'm pretty happy with her identity.

Relatedly, where do you find out which defense skill a character has? Dark Cloud Blade is a cool passive but I have to make sure the sinners I deploy can 1) build Poise, 2) have gloom affinity, and 3) have a counter passive to key off in the first place
