Liu Gregor can keep himself alive just fine with Perfected Death Fist.

She's the only sinner I don't have a 3-Star for and I'm considering sharding for her before the end of the season just to have one. Reindeer Ishmael is pretty good Blunt damage, just make sure you play her carefully (or reset if you get unlucky). Also of note: her off-field passive has the incredible power to make N Corp Sinclair even stronger: it gives the ally with the lowest SP (probably Sinclair, by design) +10% Blunt damage (the only type Sinclair does).

The main issue with Lantern is that it's too wimpy to get much from the HP gain. I'm curous to see where Gregor's arm-tree tech tree goes from there though.

Finished getting shards for Sinclair after reset and am so far pleased with him. And glad I didn't go all in on farming the event before because he makes it much easier. N sinclair easily makes up for chef Gregor having poor clashes. But I have the opposite problem than expected in that the team generates too much sp. Whistle goes off basically every other turn and there's not enough wrath generation with a team of n don Sinclair and Faust with the two chefs. He easily gets above 30 and stays there. But he still wins almost every clash so it works out.

Finished N Sinclair's Railway Adventure, was pretty funny overall. His one sided attacks hit hard, even better than W Don or R Healthcliff. The final battle's gimmick only makes it funnier as the first hit of Purge did around 260 damage, spawning a number so big it covered the entire screen, and then he kept going for like 6-700 damage total The catch of course is that it's going to tank his brain points something fierce, so Faust has to be on babysitting duty with Representation Emitter or Fluid Sac so he doesn't start murdering the team with a calendar on a stick. Yi Sang's support passive is unfortunately too effective at keeping him afloat and he'll stay in the positives for the most part if it's active. Even if you can mitigate the corrosion's effects with the soup it still resets his SP to 0 and leaves him vulernable so it's generally a better idea to not let him corrode in the first place. Also negative SP goes back to 0 after a rest so he is not allowed break time if you want him at Peak Performance for the start of the next fight.

I'd imagine that her being a good behavior is her end of the deal (along with maybe some other stuff), as for what Don gets in return, I feel it's something not just her getting to meet a multitude of high grade / Color Fixers, but possibly something pertaining to her past (of course, like for all the other Sinners). In fact, we can reasonably theorize the deals for the other Sinners. Evidently from Ishmael's statement, it can be generalized that they will gain good payments & further their standings as a results, with each Sinners having their reason. Gregor & Sinclair is probably for literal survival reasons, with Gregor being from a Fallen Wing & Sinclair losing his family (and his hometown in Chapter 3). Rodion is a bit more cryptic, maybe she want resources to pay back those she unintentionally harmed, or maybe she views the journey through the "Inferno" as her "Punishment". Ishmael possibly want the resources so she can properly track down Captain Ahab or something. Heathcliff will benefit from the rewards as it will increase his standing with his lovely family back at home, and its implied in his IDs that this is the reason for him to join the other groups, as the book Heathcliff engaged in some rather unsavory business to become very wealthy, giving him the power to kick out his lovely family & consolidate power. And Faust obviously seeks out whatever Limbus Company seems to be working towards, the supposed "Star" or something, which can be a lot of things.

She's in a unique place to make a notable deal with Vergilius/Limbus in general.

Sure, Faust and (probably) Yi Sang being hired to make the weird tech this game hinges on is different from Meursault and Hong Lu (probably) needing to get away from the things that happened in their previous employers/family is different from Rodion and Sinclair having their old home destroyed, but it's still just people being hired by a company. At some point you're just describing motivation in a slightly weird way.

Oh, it's absolutely just an English thing, and I can understand they went with associations that made sense for them. That doesn't mean it isn't going against what my brain says it should be. To recall off the top of my head... Red - Wrath, obvious pick. Orange - Lust, which is kind of a "We already used the best color available, this is as close as we can get" pick. Yellow - Sloth, because something had to be yellow. Green - Gluttony. Sure, it's not Envy, but this works fine. Cyan - Gloom. Okay, Gloom isn't a sin, and Cyan isn't a color of the rainbow. But Indigo is a bullshit color, so you have to do something, and this is a fine pick, and it's a kind of sad blue. Blue - Pride. This is kind of like Lust in that it works, but is kind of second place. Purple - Envy. Not even as a Green With Envy thing, but Purple feels like it should be Pride. If I had to reshuffle it'd be... Red - Wrath Orange - Lust Yellow - Gluttony Green - Envy Cyan - Gloom Blue - Sloth Purple - Pride

It's just a timeline where greed got rolled into lust instead of despair being rolled into sloth.

Or you could argue that Greed is what makes the City function and it is such a key part of their world that it is barely worth mentioning. I remember Gloom/Despair as being a sin because you believed that God had forsaken you, making it a sin to blaspheme against God's love or something like that. I remember Re: Zero also brings in that sin.

At some point you're just describing motivation in a slightly weird way. Something about Don is that Ruina mentioned that a warp train was full of people that formed a feudal kingdom with knights and nobles. Which is a weird thing to mention if they didn't plan on bringing it up again. Especially when you factor in that we've gotten no hints of other places that operated in a way that would explain Don Quixote's mentality of hyper violence and "justice". Part of me wonders if she's that crazy that she tried to join them given her N corp ID reveals her ability to hyper fixate to the point of weaponizing autism (as someone else pointed out) on something that appeals to her. Or if she's one of those people on the train whose brain is just that broken (Or it's how she learned to cope.) after so many years in a time locked state that somehow escaped the train like that one worker in the mirror dungeon event. It would also explain why she lashes out with murderous zeal when she sees someone killing someone for no reason, since that's literally how the W corp clean up crews operate on train passengers and it would definitely come off as injustice. Not only that, but that's how Love Town's Tomerry worked as an enforcer to keep passengers in line, which would be in line with how a knight would have to work to keep people in line on the train. It certainly casts a new light on that whole line she gave to Sinclair about how her friends kept her in line by beating the poo poo out of her to make her snap back to reality.  Would explain a lot of her mannerisms if so. Especially since her W corp identity cuts out before we see her full reaction. We don't know if the sight of it broke her, or if that's the timeline where she just conformed and her spirit was crushed as a result like with other identities that made the same mistake. Edit: As a "plus" side, if my theory is right that also means we're likely to get a Tomerry Don Quixote ID at some point.

My explanation is that getting an EGo removes it from the pool, getting an identity means it can spook me later and I wasn't sure I could get both. But now it seems so so it's either get W Don or have around 200 S2 boxes after conversion.

I still have W Corp Mersault and Blade Lineage Sinclair, as well as 2 other 00s. I figure I'll get the 00s someday, and I expect to have just enough boxes by the end of the season to get one of the 000s. None of the two seem that great though , and I'm wondering if I should just take the hit and save my boxes for next season.

So, something occurred to me. (apologies for the double post) I've made posts before about how Ryoshu always has her katana in all of her IDs, and Gregor's arm is somehow screwed up in all his IDs. In Don's new N Corp ID, one of the NPCs talking about her mentions that she apparently has running shoes on under her boots, which is why she doesn't take them off even during breaks. I thought for a second, and then went to check her other IDs sprites. In base LCB, Shi and WARP, she is wearing those same brownish-orange Rocinante shoes. I'm starting to wonder if all of the IDs have some sort of item or quality that connects them and is a constant in every universe/dimension.
