PetraCore posted:Gotcha. I've just been using Outis as a sacrificial currency boost since I already had her high level, but she really isn't holding up even to an underlevelled Faust. If you're running low on resources Don is also optional since she just adds to the snowball while Faust's poise will explode once she gets a jumpstart from Meursault and Yi Sang is a poise machine anyway. That said she'll help them reach that state faster and can actually contribute to battles and benefits from Meursault anyway, so there's no real reason not to bring her if you can spare the limbucks.

Oh, Yi Sang is level. 6 rn. But it sounds like he'd be my next guy to focus on? I don't have Sinclair at all but he sounds not worth it to shard.

Yi Sang needs UT4 to function(his improvement isn't quite as drastic as R Ish but it did take him from "kinda bad" to "only good poise ID until season 3*") but will easily hold his own afterward, he easily fits into slot #3. It's also a good idea to shell out the lunacy for some extra enk once a day, maybe twice once in a while if you really need to stock up. *L Faust doesn't count

Are you guys planning on keeping the rotation of MD teams and using the event dungeon to farm, or are you slotting bonus units in unrelated teams? RN I only have KiMer levelled and only at U3, if I start to U4 the new units the event thread I bought is gonna disappear. Event plot was interesting, so S Corp and its district are the most direct parallel to Korea? Like how T Corp is industrial Britain and J Corp is Las Vegas The hilarious part is LCA and LCD's focus on Distorsions (specially since LCD is Moses' Office probably) kinda makes me feel like Limbus is the actual association Iori wanted to fund in the old Ruina ending, which would absolutely piss Vergilius off and would make the prologue funny in retrospect, but also doesn't make sense unless it's a 5d chess plot to make sure whoever Dante was is under Iori's thumb. Also, total crack theory about Dante's identity that's not Ayin: they know about Distorsions/Pecattulum/EGO and maybe the light going by the censored speech so they had to be involved with L Corp, they were kinda assholy before losing their memory, Outis becomes a bootlicker the moment she learns they're her boss, the theories about Udjat involvement in Limbus Company. The only answer is... IT WAS ME, DIAS!

Claiming his bones will wreck him without too much issue(but since it's non-focused that's tough to set up) but outside of that he's a scrappy little bastard yeah I had rusty coin Faust spamming fluid sac to keep everyone alive and managed to brute force it. he outclashed her once though, the rear end in a top hat. The Blade-specific EGO gifts giving you a bunch of huge bonuses(the coat is especially ridiculous) helps too e: bone-claiming is a fun risk/reward minigame where the longer you wait the bigger the payoff you get(usually half the enemy team exploding from full health or close to it) but wait too long and the fight's over one way or another Yinlock fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Feb 22, 2024 |

A bunch of people made guesses at the censored text in this event. If one's WILL IS WEAKENED, devoured by their sins, they are reborn in the form of the PECCATULA, their image reflecting the DEEPEST PARTS OF OUR SOUL dreamt by those who are nothing. if one withstands THE BURDEN OF THEIR SOUL, yet REFUSES TO CONFESS TO their sins, the heart DISTORTS... Yet if one seeks to bear the TRUE MANIFESTATION OF THEIR SOUL, the EGO shall ASSUME THE SHAPE of their original hearts... Only those who can define their own SELF... Only those who have awakened to their own IDEAL...." Looks right to me, I did notice that the number of boxes seemed to match the number of letters for words that would fit in. Also matches what we know from LoR, Limbus Company, and the prequel novel, Leviathan.

KimSault is amazing and fun, as expected of the showcase ID but a big first for mersault. Bighat boy clashes well, does lots of damage, and his S3 is hard to use jank with incredible payoff. It puts out a ton of damage, absolutely jaw dropping amounts, which fits for how hard it can be to pull off. In a MD3 run, with the big poise gift he actually did 1600 damage to BigKim on turn one. As far as the rest of blade lineage goes, Sword Faust and Yi Sang are great, and do good things with the poise and extra power that HatSault gives them, while Sword Don really pumps up the poise gain and hits good. OTOH Outis and Sinclair are turds, even with the full BL buffs, neither can clash for poo poo and have really awkward ability colors for a team that wants 3 pride every single turn. BL Clair does hit insanely hard when he finally pops off, but it take a lot of time and getting there requires a lot of hoop jumping. BL Outis just sucks at everything unfortunately, so you really do end up with 2 loads if you're going for the full team and they drag down attempts to do cool things. OTOH, Cap't Ishmael and Peqlif do wonders on the team, since there's a ton of free poise and the both contribute really well to the pride game.

Cap'n is a great fit but Queecliff runs into the issue that Envy resonance is a pipe dream on this team so his S3 is gonna be undercooked, Cinq Sinclair would probably work better.

Cap'n Ish underperforms with the Lineage squad in dungeons. They turn into blenders very quickly, and it's really easy for Ish to end up in a negative SP spiral due to her sanity mechanics. I'm thinking about bringing Magic Bullet Outis (w/ Sunshower) instead.

She was almost low early but literally a single skill 3 kill was enough to get her not only out of negative san but up to +17 where she could start winning clashes. if you're not using kkongler for the bonus event currency you can even run base for a safety net. with the sheer amount of extra damage blade lineage is getting a single Pursue Them To The End! proc on faust or sault could easily be like 100+ extra damage.

Yeah, I had great results with cap't ish in MD, the extra attack is super value with all the poise generation, and it's super easy to get the stagger or kill with her S3 and pop everyones sanity up to maximum. She's rarely at max sanity, but she's not super dependent on maximum rolls all the time to do good clashing or damage.

I only clashed when it predicted Favorable or Dominating, otherwise using defensive skills. While it was still possible to lose early on and spiral into an unwinnable situation, I ended up scraping through with my team alive even after getting hit by To Claim Their Bones.

...and now I understand this. Hey, it worked! And yeah, I managed to make sure I was always (almost always) going to win each clash, keeping his Sanity in check. Managed to dodge TCTB by using only 1 attack and the rest using defensive skills, then piling on the damage and making sure the last Sinner was the one clashing with it.

More boughs? It's explicitly a journey towards enlightenment/salvation, and none of the sinners have reach a conclusion thus far. All of their personal antagonists are also ready to go.

Solitair posted:I just got beaten by Kim at the end of the mirror dungeon a dozen times in a row. I've yet to beat TCTB in a single clash. You cannot beat it if he has any amount of shield left as he gets +5 to the base power, other than that it's mostly a case of you need to be "this tall" to ride (so use a very high clashing EGO, Don Quixote Blood Sac or Ishmael Ardor Blossom Star). Both of them can role 40 in the right circumstances. He won't do damage but NClair's third skill could do it if you get the shield down. Also, once he gets below 10 or 20% hp he never stops using it and you just have to beat him the gently caress down. Do not let him get it off as he massively self heals if it kills ANYONE.

The scabbard bonus maxes out at 120% and you don't need to actually run them in your team itself. The old identities give 20% each, the new ones 30% each. So you only need 6 of the old KK/BL units, or all 4 of the new ones. If you have 2 of the new ones you only need 3 of the old ones, and Don is gauranteed.

I'm following ESGOO's priority lists for what IDs and EGO to max out, and I'd already purposefully done almost everything about K Hong Lu. I wanted to double-check what the cost was and didn't realize that hitting spacebar would confirm the decision to uptie. I also had the old BL and KK IDs partially leveled, since when I first played the game I had the wrong idea that I could evenly level up all the IDs I wasn't using, and at UT3, because I prioritize that so I can see their stories.

I'm still gonna try and build status teams while keeping as much bonus as I can. Only have the banners left anyways. This rupture run had me scared of Kim cause his Sanity dropped way more than I thought, but the Tier IV Rupture gift and Homework gift basically let me stagger and burst him. Next time is Bleed though, so between Kurokumos and the other good bleed IDs it should be better (Poise is gonna be a Normal run so lmao with BL gifts, Sinking is gonna face normal boss cause I'm not suicidal).
