Some details on why cars are semi-rare in the City: Backstreets roads are so twisty and convoluted that it can take a while to get from one location to another, even if the technical linear distance is short. Meanwhile, there are highways between Nests but those have conditions/costs as well. That's why WARP is so popular, even putting aside the raw speed.

well on one hand the City is a hellish nightmare from which there is no escape, on the other hey actual public transit funding

I'm a little worried that N Sinclair's going to require too much sanity maintenance after this change, especially with Mad Flame. It's great for daily farming, sure, but he might end up mostly unusable in dungeons and Railway.

His damage is insane enough that this sanity change probably brings him from "completely absurd" to "really good", he's still fine.

Just cleared chapter 3 in Limbus, it wasn't too bad and the suggested level requirements seem very conservative (though I'm not sure how much level actually matters in terms of power). Think I kind of get how the basic combat/clashing works now, still haven't internalized the team-building and skill effects aspects at all though.

Random question, why did Sinclair's family call him Sinclair? Isn't his given name Emil?
Also, were the inquisition people actually N Corp employees? It seems out of the ordinary for one of the Wings to do things like that.

I believe it was just a quirk that they called him by his last name ("Your name's Philip!?"). And yeah, the inquisition are N-Corp Employees.

Funny enough, Kurokumo Rodion is the only identity I'm missing...but with a new 3* coming in, I think I'll hold on trying to shard for that.

Yi Sang's next 3* ID is probably going to be relatively spoilery, so it makes sense that they're not going to reveal it a third of the way into his first chapter. They're being extra careful with spoilers in general this time around, considering they're time gating the battle pass as well.

tbf though Rodion also needs a good 000. I mean Kurokumo isn't bad per say but ew Poise

Here's an advice for everyone playing Limbus Company.

When the Season is over, half of your boxes will be turned into threads.

However, it's one thread per box.

So it may be in your best interest to use up the boxes you currently have, since they can give anywhere between 1 and 3 E.G.O. shards.

Even if you don't have all the shards you need, at least you're gonna end up with more than what you'd have if you didn't use them up.

And besides, in Season 2, you'll NEED those extra shards to give that extra uptie and threadspin to your Sinners and E.G.O.s

They've said that egoshard crates will be turned into thread crates, not individual threads, which is 1-3 threads per crate.

yeah, the math is safe but opening the boxes before rollover is still the objectively right choice, because you can turn your shards into thread later but not vice versa

...No? It's still a 1:1 conversion. If you've got 88 shards in boxes you'll still have 44 when the season rollover happens regardless of whether they're still in the boxes or out of it. All you're doing by opening your boxes now is reducing your ability to react to stuff you want further down the line. Boxed shards are many times more valuable than unboxed shards because they can be anything.

The real question is if you want an odd number of boxes/shards or an even number depending on whether they round your remaining boxes up or down.

Is it? Shard Crates turn to Thread Boxes and Shards turn to Thread. Regardless of whether you open the boxes, half of your cool currency will turn into the less cool currency. In fact, Nominable Crates are better than straight up Shards because you can appoint them to whoever whilst they remain unopened, whilst the Shards are fixed to their particular Sinners.

Or is there something I'm missing?

Yeah, so you should leave them in the boxes so you can turn them into whatever shards you need, rather than, say, turning them into Sinclair shards right now then discovering that he doesn't get anything better than The One Who Shall Grip in Season 2 so you've just wasted all of it.

Just leave them in the boxes. Nothing good will come of taking them out right now unless you're really, really lucky.

I'm saving up to buy something in particular that won't go away when the season swaps over, so it doesn't matter if they're in box form or shard form, I'm losing some progress either way, so might away well unbox them now and save myself time.

Rodion's skill 2 seems fuckin terrifying. Nice to finally have a central ID for a Tremor team, her role is to burst the tremor she/her team has set up and get big damage bonuses from it. She also seems to stack so much of it that she can just run herself or hang out with W Don

Meursault sure is a Meursault ID, though that skill 3 seems promising. Also those passives seem great for shoring up Meur's typically bad clashing

I agree, but now that we know they're Tremor IDs it may just be that they're designed with the Burst effects in mind to give them more punch.

I like how Rodion (the representative of the workshop) passive is "Here's to getting off early~' and her art show her playing gambling games while at work while Meursault's skill/passive names are a cry for help.

Bursting just reduces the Tremor Count by 1. If you have a Tremor with multiple Counts (easiest non-Gift way is LCCB Ishmael's second skill) you could burst it multiple times in a row.

Kinda curious if theme teams like that are gonna end up worth it in the future. At least as far as railways goes, it really seemed like the dominant strategy was just running the top tier DPS and backing them up with some damage support.

At least the core of this team is what, Rodion, Meursault, and Ishmael? Those 3 don't really have any overpowered identities so you could slot them in a Railway Run without stepping on the toes of a strong DPS team, and there might be a station where they're useful.

All of our current Tremor IDs are:

-LCB Sinner Meursault, Heathcliff and Ishmael
-LCCB Assistant Manager Ishmael
-N Corp Don
-Rosespanner Meursault and Rodion
-Zwei Sinclair

In addition, we have some Tremor EGO: Legerdemain on Gregor, Persuance on Meursault, Fluid Sac on Don, Rime Shank on Rodion.

I can definitely see a world where Rosespanner Rodya is going to be a really good flex for Railway, especially since she has charge synergy w/ W Don and Telepole. I'll be interested to see how her final numbers look, because Vibration Compression could be crazy damage if it has enough +coin juice.
