Don't forget she'll also probably have a mechanic where she can benefit from allies losing SP, since it fits Ahab's character, her battle skills and synergizes with Blind Obsession's passive. "It was your fault Yi Sang Corroded Sunshower and wiped half the team! Once again the fault lies with you,

I mean we do still need an ID of another Sinner as Ishmael to complete the crew, I nominate Outis. Actually wait, is base Ishmael counted as a member of the crew by effects that care about that?

As far as I know, those effects are not looking for "tags" they're just looking at the name, so no. To be in the Middle, you'd have to have the word "Middle" in the identity name.

By the way, and this is a bit late, but some MD gifts got slight tweaks here and there to make them play nicer/flow better. Late Bloomer's Tattoo now has the Off/Def level buffs happen next turn rather than this turn, meaning you actually get to play with the effect more than "A 2+ hit Pride skill does a little more damage on hits 2 and beyond". Lowest Star, in addition to being an SP nuker, buffs Neg San IDs when they're below 0 with bonus damage, letting Nclair really run wild.

No, there are tags - Sunshower Heathcliff, Sloshmael, Talisman Sinclair, and possibly Spicebush Yi Sang have an invisible “Technology Liberation Alliance” group tag.

Given the art, I actually don't think this is Gasharpoon Ishmael given it has her looking perfectly normal with no affected arm. Might just be Pequod Captain Ishmael

Since the IDs we're getting are Pequod Crew, not Pequod Town.

On the Ishmael discussions: I am EXTREMELY stoked for this ID and I have very high hopes. I agree that a 00 Pip or Stubbs ID would be a nice compliment in-banner but I'm not sure who would get either. Regarding the Crimson Whale: It's come up that there was a 2014 Korean horror film of that name (although the original Korean is closer to 'volcano' it has been translated as Crimson before) with some very City-like themes, so it's possible that this member of the Disasters is a reference to that. On my personal side: Squeaking in JUST under the wire I finally got the mental energy and physical stamina required to sit down and suffer through Moobius.  My clear time is not great in the grand scheme of things but I also literally didn't play for IGT at all: I went for 100% pure safety strats, ending with a lot of spare resources, and only about 30 real-life minutes before the usual server downtime for updates. I loving HATED this Railroad.  A lot of the fights were very thematically and conceptually cool, and I like the idea of an ever-expanding loop of increasingly powerful combat where both sides get buffs, but the execution felt like an actual execution, being nearly triple the length of Line 1 by fight count and FAR more annoying in mechanical terms. I have higher hopes for Clockroad than I did for this one, but I am glad I finally knocked it out.At the end of the day it was still good insofar as it was Limbus gameplay, which I love, and the new fights were almost all

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for some of the abnormalities they selected for the lower loop numbers. For the abnormalities in the first loop, So That No One Will Cry just got easier and easier on each loop iteration, and I didn't mind Steam Transport Machine like everyone seemed to, but Drifting Fox was horrible, and just got tougher to damage. I dreaded that encounter each loop, and having to do it 5 times, welp. Having to do Shock Centipede three times wasn't fun either.

Remind me, has the Head's policy on non-humans in the City come up in the LP yet? Because the real reason why Light would get Arbiter'd isn't murdering people - senseless, selfish bloodshed is completely in line with the Head's policies - it's because he's harboring Ryuk.

So That No One Will Cry would have been fantastic if they didn’t inexplicably make it single-handedly make burn unviable. I enjoyed actually doing its mechanics. Steam Transport Machine does absolutely nothing interesting. You have two chances to do actual real damage, and if you miss out on those you get to enjoy an absolute miserable slog of doing no damage. Drifting Fox and Centipede pretty much fall into the same category of “just unreasonably tanky and not fun” Faelantern was either trivial or an annoying pile of forced damage, without any in-between. Wayward Passenger was cool, though part of that may be fighting him only once.

I feel like I got extremely lucky with my Faelantern clears (every single one was 3 turns, just Fairy > Stagger > Kill) but man Steam Transport Machine. For some reason I couldn't get the knack of lining up the fragile and Poise-popping and clash-winning with the body parts breaking with any consistency, so it was a crapshoot if that fight was over in record time or an absolute nightmare. STNOWC keeping its burn-reflection when RR1 Kromer lost her Burn/Bleed reactions was a very weird decision. Centipede is another one that felt like something wasn't always working right, 2/3 attempts it managed to go into 20-stacks mode for no discernible reason even though I clashed every attack and got it to 0 stacks before breaking body / killing.

Centipede also had some arbitrary super high killer attacks, which if you didn't clash with and win, would absolutely body the sinner. Far and away the shittiest fight on the railway, and you had to fight him 3 times. I hate that stupid bug OTOH there's some really cool bits on RR2. Sign of Roses and Wandering Passenger were both very cool fights with lots of cool things going on, No One Will Cry was definitely a breather boss but the stacking of talismans was very cool, and fighting the two fairies at the same time was neat. It's all really dragged down by fighting steam machine, drifting fox and centipede over and over

Oh duh, that's why I was fine with Steam Transport Machine, while everyone else wasn't. I did get the knack of his mechanism down. At best I had to burn down a hundred hp of his if I hosed up or got a bad damage hand. I paid very careful attention to how much damage I would be doing to each body part. Definitely less resets required than the goddamn drifting fox

I think the worse boss are the one that purposefully make you lose time so Titatnia Queen of Fae, Steam Boat Willy and FireFox were probably the worse for me. Centipede was surprisingly easy but then again, I went with the Sinking Meta (Minus Boat Ishmael) so it was a breeze if I decided to sat down and actually play the darn game.

If Head leadership faces and true names are in any way publicly available they'd explode him on the legal grounds of "gently caress you we're the Head", but yeah, instead he dies either because Ryuk or because other corps with vulnerable personnel notice. or because he just gets randomly murked by one of a million other psychos or hostile phenomena in the City, a killer notebook isn't an especially useful melee weapon

Yinlock posted:centipede was also fast as hell and liked focusing on one sinner, it was made to be as annoying as possible Yeah, the other thing that kept happening to me was that it'd magically outspeed my entire team out of nowhere and monofocus its attacks in a way where they couldn't be clashed at all. It'd be hilarious karmic justice if they made it Bossy Gossy, because like... The community's most-hated piece of equipment can now be its most-hated abno fight too! :P

Completing it under par for the shiny banners that don't matter in any way is another story. As long as you don't take over 999 turns you get everything except the banner and it is nearly impossible to even scratch that number unless it's on purpose. e: We try for under par because we hate joy and also want to justify the time spent in the lunacy mines to ourselves.

Having 3-4 units being hypnotised did hit the damage I did per turn especially considering my team revolved mainly around Pierce and Blunt. As for lil Robin Wood... I had NSinclair so I had to calculate his Sanity every turn in the hope to avoid him corroding. Did you know that once a Sinner reached the -45 Sanity, they will corrode no matter what, even if they are staggered?
