maybe it's the cutting social commentary of her art

e: though animation-wise she doesn't keep the sheathe stationary, and when she swings it the sheathe also swings with it implying she's just whacking people with it. I dunno why that translates to slash but it seems to be what she's doing.

That could also be just the sheathe itself being swung with a lot of force or speed: So far I believe there is no official art of her default katana being unsheathed. Even in Forest for the Flames it seems to be the burnt sheath being used directly, and I do not doubt that it's plot-relevant that we're never seeing the sword.

You can't really use the attack types as an indicator of what an attack is, they seem really arbitrary sometimes. Like, say, the skill literally named Slash. Which is Blunt type.

She swings the weapon and sheathe at the same time, the sheathe doesn't remain on her back.

She's just able to slice people with a blunt sheath because she's artistic like that. Or she's sharpened the sheathe so she doesn't have to draw the sword (that might be her daughter).

On note of grinding, i have finished it a few days ago and man, I wish more gacha will adopt Path to Nowhere's style where after you clear the stage once, it gives you theoption to insta finish it afterwards (unless you bring a friend).

And it doesn't penalize imperfect clear too. Just allow people to just instant finish it once you clear them once to smoothen the grind easier T_T

Heathcliff is generally brutal and ruthless, yet his N Corp. ID is among the most MISERABLE of them all.

You'd think that Heathcliff would be the most psychotic of all the Inquisitors, but instead that's Faust (who admittedly is The One Who Grips). Even Rodya is more demented than him.

One of the most relaxed gacha (except the crazy difficulty on the last 2 story chapter) I have ever played imo. Especially with all the quality of life it has. Main Story got its ups and down, but I found I enjoy it, and once it hit like after ch3-4, I enjoy it more. The event story so far has been great too.

If you want to start now, you'll be in the middle of the big lunar new year event so you'll get some easy way to get stuff since there's a lot of beginner friendly stages in this event. (And some free pulls if it's still around)

It's interesting to note that while the N Corp IDs use the mooks (and Guido and Kromer)'s appearances/armor (with heads swapped) and use parts of their animations, they only use them as a starting point. Kromer never incorporates the electric shocks Faust uses in that ID, for instance.

And here, Sinclair is using the same starting stance as his base ID, with changed clothing, but it's more than just a quick clothing swap, considering those animations.

He's also the most stubborn, independent, and hostile towards authority.
Success in Nagel Und hammer is pretty much entirely down to how much you fall for their brainwashing/indoctrination and willingly become a cog in the machine. At least for everyone below the right-hand man, Guido or N Meursalt, who seems to be in on it and just kinda cool with everything without needing any of that brainwashing.
So it makes sense that N Heath is languishing forever at the bottom ranks and being made to take extra scripture lessons or whatever since he's the one with the highest natural resistance to that whole deal.

Yeah that's why I played too. The character designs continue to win tbh (the 2 new sinners at CN is another great ones), and it really helps that the characters are intriguing. Like the new current one is Deren and she's a great filmmaker who ends up being disillusioned with the film indutry (especially Discars, which is the Oscar equivalent)

Both Don and Rodya want to feel special and useful so falling for the cult indoctrination makes sense for them (Meursault just has no strong feelings one way or the other).

Surprisingly, yes! Although the original words in CN is 禁闭者 which isn't sinner but just "someone who is confined" iirc. So some translation license here.

(Although because Dante got bullied a lot by Sinners, and Chief (who is the main character in PtN) is also bullied a lot by Sinners, I and some other friends end up joking about how Chief ends up in Limbus Company haha))

Isn't that the exact same thing with our Sinners as well? It's more like Prisoners, hence all the base ego being them all locked up.

Prisoners have their own word, so for PtN they definitely didn't use them.

Not sure on Limbus situation though, does anyone knows what they use for the KR version?

I don't speak Korean but with the help of Google Translate and flipping the Limbus Company website back and forth between KR and EN, the KR seems to variously use 죄수 (prisoner) and 수감자 (inmate) to refer to Sinners.

I take it there's no such thing as a Großhammer? Seems weird for the Don ID to be a middle-hammer, unless I'm dumb and that's more of a rank thing rather "this is the size of my weapon" thing, lol

Name for the Sinclair ID is weird to me as well, but I'm probably missing something again; isn't that Kromer's title? What's the difference between the future/present tense in this context?

Faust/Kromer is the One Who Grips, so presumably The One Who Shall Grip is the second in command who'll take over if the One Who Grip spot opens up.

I'm pretty sure it's a rank thing. That's why Don and Rodya are middle-hammer (since they buy into Nagel Und Hammer doctrine) while Heathcliff remains at the bottom since he wants to leave and get back to Cathy eventually.

It's a rank thing, yeah. Kleinhammers are the low rank guys (Heathcliff ID), Mittelhammers are the more distinguished vets (Don and Rodion IDs), and Großhammers (if there even are more than one) are the big second-in-command guys à la Guido (Meursault ID).

Oh, cool. I was never in danger of not reaching 6k plushies, but I did worry for a sec that I couldn't get Sinclair's E.G.O. This should be enough time to at least get enough shards, though I'm still a bit antsy about the new IDs being available for about two weeks. I don't think I'll be manually converting shards to thread ever again.

basically just never convert shards and hoard your nominable boxes 'til you miss one you want from pulls. Then profit.

Such is the strategy, I think.
