and 7 Outis is also crazy

Again this might be a playstyle difference thing, if you clash a ton then making enemy clashes worse is insanely good even if it's "mild". When my team went to town on ch. 2 bosses they typically ended up with like 2 rows of debuffs and just ate poo poo

I don't think anyone would disagree that winning clashes is the most important thing for 90% of gameplay. It's not like Bind and properly timed Paralyzes aren't powerful. It's more that the combat system is already about snowballing and Plus Coin Drop is most useful in fights that last longer than it takes for you to roll over them normally. One good Bind or Paralyze will completely change one clash, and that's enough if any given enemy will only last three or four rounds in the first place. Plus Coin Drop makes a lot of clashes slightly better, but how many rounds do you have between applying Plus Coin Drop and when your sanity is high enough to reliably win most clashes? It just doesn't matter for most fights outside of Railway.

Saw someone note that Kong Lu can self-fuel Dimension Shredder. That's gonna be a shot in the arm for survivability, I think.

nothing at all matters for most fights outside of Railway if we're going that route

Also some enemies have some absurd plus coin rolls(lookin at you tailsman guys) that a coin drop would turn manageable

e: I just don't understand acting like it's completely nothing, or somehow different from a well-timed Paralyze. It's like the same thing but for an entire turn, that's real good. Limbus clashing means that all that matters is that your number is bigger than the other number, whether their number is shot down to 0 or the final result just gets a -2 it doesn't matter as long as the end result is yours is higher.

e2: like I was probably overexaggerating with "insane" but I will still die on the hill of "lowering enemy number is in fact good"

Honestly, I don't think we disagree about this that much, materially? You just started at saying it's mind-blowing and I have hangups about over-explaining things. If you said it was trash, I probably would have written a paragraph about how it isn't that bad.

Hmm, I guess I can try and give a shorthand on it. Spoilers for the end of The Wings:

Yi Sang's final conclusion is that the fighting between himself and his wife Yon is ultimately due to the fact that, even if the two of them hadn't actually done anything wrong to one another, they remain unable to understand each other. This would remain true even if they tried to explain the reasons for their behavior and defend themselves by outlining why they took the actions they did. The poet sadly laments that this is the nature of humanity, while the point is emphasized by a siren going off at noon and him being surrounded by a rush of activity. The final few paragraphs have Yi Sang commenting about how he can feel the itching of the stubs of phantasmal wings under his arms, which are the remnants of his hope and ambition, and how he wants to shout for them to spread out and let him fly once more.

The idea that there is something inherently rotten with the poet, taken as a representative of humanity whose overall nature is depicted as a vast faceless crowd in a large city, which can only be resolved through changing his nature so that he can once again find the strength within himself to have hope for a brighter future (and finally be able to understand other humans) is pretty much being dead on paralleled by Project Moon.

None of those non-Yi Sang people have wings or are birds, so I'm afraid that can't be the case. I mean, why do you all think he was so attached to Sang Yi? Big wings!

My room, this absolute shelter, is the seventh from the gate-- lucky number seven. I loved that number like a medal of honor. But no one noticed that the sliding door dividing the room in half symbolized my destiny.

Ready for the new MD Hard to be a nightmare or a pushover in just two short hours.

Since we're coming up on a new Season 2 story banner... If you got the "guaranteed season 2 three-star" ticket off the paid Limbus Pass, they've added new IDs to those immediately in the past, so probably better to use that and hope you get lucky before pulling here. The math changes somewhat if you don't have all the new IDs so far and you aren't planning to do pulls (if you've gotten 3/4 of the new S2 identities then it's a 40% for a new ID on this banner; if you skip and do it after the next, it's 50% instead), but if you do have all the new IDs it's a clear win in favor of just using the ticket. Way better to get something new off it than to just get shards!

Unless the EGO are season 2, there’s no reason to rush anyways—they’ll be there. Waiting to spook you on a good-looking roll for the ID you want.

Can confirm they are evergreen and appear in the Standard Fare section of the dispensery. Also can confirm that the new Starter Buff system seems to be based on a skill tree, branching out from a central start node to two different capstones across four lines. There's a raw offensive line, a Speed-and-survival line, a Resources line, and a healing + SP line. The capstones are "every 3 turns all your coins land on the same face" and "all your units lose their first stagger threshold entirely."

is that the trenchcoat guy? cuz he's been around for a while. he seems to be the same abno but film noir for some reason

e: the Charge gloves are a very funny new gift, they're both absurdly powerful(+10 max charge, +5 starting charge) and not particularly useful in the mirror dungeon

As someone who's definitely too invested in picking apart Abno symbolism I'm already having a great time with this new batch. Among other things, we may have a new Oz abnormality... who's also an Aberration of the old lady who tells stories???
