also was Gloria a capo

#

I forgot

cloud wadi
#

Proxy

fickle crown
#

oh

#

I am confused lmao

#

I thought we were talking about distortion detective

stoic fjord
#

True, I imagine people have carved out enough of a life to be comfortable having children

cloud wadi
#

Point is there’s like multiple incidents where finger memvers break down doors to kill people

#

So it would be silly to assume that residential buildings are totally out of touch

#

For the fingers

#

So Mi’s page is clearly erroneous in that regard

stoic fjord
#

Hmmmm

fickle crown
#

I think it's less "don't attack residential areas" more "hey don't demolish an entire building fuckwit"

ebon forge
#

Probably

cloud wadi
#

I don’t think that’s true either tbh

stoic fjord
#

How the hell did Limbus get the bus classified as a residential accommodation anyways

cloud wadi
#

Papa Don demolishes a wide area of the backstreet when his amusement park reappears

#

Again, no action from the head

fickle crown
#

oh yea

atomic steeple
#

It's only during 3 am

cloud wadi
#

Pianist also totally demolished several blocks of the backstreets

#

No action from the head

#

Philippe melts down several blocks of a Nest

#

Head couldn’t give a shit

fickle crown
#

I wonder how it works then

stoic fjord
#

Overpenetration by 2 cm vs. Annihilating a square mile of urban land

Which one is the punishable crime

unique bane
#

naraka's temporary though
i think he's more acknowledging they're gonna go there but they're gonna get out with their sins cleansed

stoic fjord
#

Yeah true

cloud wadi
stoic fjord
#

More against that moment being wrathful ig

#

Bro is so kind and forgiving

cloud wadi
#

Otherwise you are free to blow up entire sections of the city if you want

gentle mulch
#

mfw two color fixers fight and they get executed because the collateral damaged a high rise

cloud wadi
#

Yeah

#

Purple tear severs entire buildings while fighting Vergil

#

Again, head couldn’t give a shit

atomic steeple
#

Oh lol
Hell maiden is a game that also starts with an amnesiac dante

gentle mulch
#

LET'S GOOOO

stoic fjord
#

from what we know

#

I feel like there's genuinely nothing the Head could not crush under its heel without a second thought

#

like

cloud wadi
#

They can handle all the abnormalities at once if things really got that far

atomic steeple
#

Devyat sinclair also breaks through buildings and kills people

stoic fjord
# stoic fjord like

they got multiple arbiters

||Kali vs. Garion was mutual destruction, iirc||

gentle mulch
#

heishou rams

cloud wadi
#

And Faust and Outis seemed convinced that head would be able to take care of the seaborne eventually

stoic fjord
#

like fucking no one is beating the Head

cloud wadi
#

Only real issue was the seaborne absorbing head’s technologies

stoic fjord
#

I think even then they could eradicate them before they developed enough to be immune

cloud wadi
#

The real issue was the seaborne then sharing those evolution with their brethren back in arknights world

#

And then becoming a world ending threat there

#

More of a*

cosmic gorge
#

Just get a blue twink to deal with it, easy

gentle mulch
#

what if they absorb blue twinks

stoic fjord
#

what do we do when they adapt to 7 mang

cloud wadi
#

Use 8

stoic fjord
#

wait can people adjust the amount of mang they manifest

#

like

gentle mulch
#

byeah

cloud wadi
#

Yes

cosmic gorge
#

I meant the blue twink from AK, the one thats already a seaborn
his is how the AK roguelike featuring seaborn ends

cloud wadi
#

Vergil uses one or two for trivial threats

stoic fjord
#

okay so Demian could theoretically have like, another 20 rings up his ass

cloud wadi
#

Three when he’s really trying

#

Etc

#

Yeah

atomic steeple
#

Seeing virgil as a friendly anime girl chasing dante is such wild whiplash from other depictions

cosmic gorge
#

Wording!

cloud wadi
#

Demian was hardly trying

#

When he manifested 7 rings

#

So

#

Reasonably he might have even more

stoic fjord
#

he gently floated down and then gently swept his hand through the air while manifesting the mang without even concentrating

cloud wadi
#

It’s either that

stoic fjord
#

I'm willing to bet he has at least double the amount he summoned or some shit

ebon forge
#

Demian… how strong is he?

cloud wadi
#

Or he has achieved such sublime enlightenment

stoic fjord
gentle mulch
ebon forge
#

Like bruh if you have 14 mang are you stronger than a fucking arbiter or some shit?

stoic fjord
#

the first time we saw him he insta-gibbed Kromer without trying and then fucked off

cloud wadi
#

That his gentle swipe is equivalent to heightened concentration anyways

stoic fjord
#

also possible

gentle mulch
#

The Winged Tiger was barely able to manifest one

neat cedar
#

Tbf

gentle mulch
#

Vergil manifested two and let gravity be the blow essentially

neat cedar
#

manifestung one at all

gentle mulch
#

then rocked one with the gladius

neat cedar
#

without any training

#

is insane work

gentle mulch
#

jia qiu manifested five and did a gentle swipe

stoic fjord
gentle mulch
#

demian didn't even touch the guy

gentle mulch

#

Jia Qiu is a monster already

#

Like

neat cedar
#

Lightlessness as in weight

stoic fjord
#

.....what?

neat cedar
#

not Light

ebon forge
#

Dude held back against like, a ton of N corp right

stoic fjord
#

wouldn't that be weightlessness?

#

or. lightness?

neat cedar
#

ye

gentle mulch
#

if it helps yes, it's more about the meaning than the name

neat cedar
#

Basically the more enlightened, the less effort

stoic fjord
gentle mulch
#

to be without really being

ebon forge
#

Yeah he is iirc

stoic fjord
#

though he doesn't really have the color scheme

neat cedar
stoic fjord
neat cedar
#

||Not impossible, but far from.confirmed||

stoic fjord
#

I figure we'll get at least a tiny bit of followup this canto

neat cedar
#

this us a blue fucker cant9

stoic fjord
neat cedar
#

so we're def gonna learn a lot

stoic fjord
neat cedar
#

we always do with blue fucker cantos

stoic fjord
gentle mulch
#

i do really hope we move away from spotlighting the Ring though

neat cedar
#

Demian gunna drop by like "where's the fuckin sheep"

gentle mulch
#

we've seen so much of the Ring i think it'd be wasted potential if we didn't get more of any other fingers

neat cedar
#

"been like 2 years man"

#

"it's not that hard"

gentle mulch
#

"you owe me my goddamn sheep have you even made any attempts at drawing"

stoic fjord
#

like

neat cedar
#

We'll get each of the fingera in turn

stoic fjord
#

33%, with the other 66% of the finger stuff divvied up between the other 4

neat cedar
#

but acr 1 is def gunna be at least Ring

gentle mulch
#

i just hope it's not like

neat cedar
#

prob index too

stoic fjord
#

such that they're the majority but not the only focus

gentle mulch
#

heishous but ring

neat cedar
#

highly doubt that

stoic fjord
#

I think Index, Ring, and Thumb we're set to know a lot more about

gentle mulch
#

i really hope like 11% max is Ring focus

stoic fjord
#

Middle we might get a little bit of as a treat

ebon forge
#

Why is N Corp so interested in us anyways

stoic fjord
#

Pinky they'll probably vaguepost about, have a certain brother come to aura farm, and then give us enough to rabidly theorize for another season

gentle mulch
#

N-emies

neat cedar
#

also

#

tbh

stoic fjord
#

and I will continuously tweak out about IDs each time they enable a new triple status

ebon forge
#

Also, ever time yall say blue man I think of these fucks

neat cedar
#

we know like

stoic fjord
#

or double status

neat cedar
#

jack and shit

#

about the Ring

stoic fjord
neat cedar
#

like we have an idea

stoic fjord
#

or the Index

neat cedar
#

Thumb and Middle

stoic fjord
#

yeah

neat cedar
#

Index is only if ur a ruina guy

stoic fjord
#

yeah but I said everything factored in

#

full franchise

neat cedar
#

fair nuff

stoic fjord
#

Thumb and Index based off of that

#

Index is least if you're Limbus only

neat cedar
#

Pinky

stoic fjord
#

Middle is... in the middle

neat cedar
#

Like index is not super known

#

but also

stoic fjord
# neat cedar Pinky

we at least know a little bit, there's actually nothing about the Index in Limbus that I can remember

neat cedar
#

it'a very simple

stoic fjord
#

we know about the blades of the east, we know some fairly major members, we know it's weird and mysterious

#

but also you have a point yeah

neat cedar
#

like qe know a lot about the structure of the index

#

but not really it's history

stoic fjord
#

inb4 we find out about the Palm and our entire worldview is shattered

neat cedar
#

lol

#

honestly

#

that might be what spider house is

stoic fjord
neat cedar
#

also, it seeeems

#

that Ryoshu os probably a member of the pinky, mainly

cloud wadi
#

Pinky is most associated with ryoshu in that trailer yes

#

Maybe she inherited her position from her bio mom

stoic fjord
#

She's gotta be one of the ten blades right

cloud wadi
#

Which is why we have a woman who berated her

stoic fjord
#

Or is that too obvious of a choice

cloud wadi
#

Saying her being born ruined her life

#

Will this also be the surprise gun canto

#

God

#

All I want is a full Udjat team

#

This Outis doesn’t seem to have ammo reload mechanic

#

Which is mildly worrying

neat cedar
#

theybeither don't have to worry about reloading

#

cause dias

#

or theynjust smack down regardless when mask is up

#

but if Dias just has the money to give her goons unlimited ammo

#

that would be funny

#

and terrifying

#

but also, only ammo skill seems to be s3 as well

cloud wadi
#

Goth Loli Outis meanwhile…

neat cedar
#

plz no

#

do not call her that

#

plz

cloud wadi
#

Barefoot Outis in one piece dress

neat cedar
#

KJH, really said "Put outis in a onesie"

#

i cannot defend him

neat cedar
#

he knows the evil he unleashes by now

stoic fjord
#

...

#

I should check something

#

be right back

cloud wadi
#

Are you going to fishmael

stoic fjord
#

okay well I did only check one artist brb

stoic fjord
cloud wadi
#

Wait a minute

#

Scissoring Outis is a Zayin

#

It’ll have to replace the Odyssey!

neat cedar
#

i'll acceot it to the alternative

#

but i won't like it

stoic fjord
cosmic gorge
#

What are yall talking about 😭

neat cedar
#

i mean it just has to.be cinsistentnin clashing

neat cedar
cosmic gorge
#

Why are yall calling her that 😭

mystic ermine
#

she has scissors

cosmic gorge
#

Hmm
Its based on that rock paper scissors ghost girl with the southern accent no

neat cedar
#

and ye

#

which is even more evidence that Outis is nit the traitor

dusty sigil
#

I mean, it’s mentioned (somewhere in Ruina but I don’t remember where) that life for the average city citizen isn’t like, instant death

#

Most people’s lives are just very, boring

#

Mundanely terrible

#

They work themselves to the bone to pay for their shitty apartment, pay off whatever finger owns this section of the backstreets and the occasionally luxury

#

So long as they stay indoors during a night in the backstreets and make sure to pay their dues and taxes on times, they will live

cloud wadi
#

Yeah

#

It’s just that the story only focuses around high tension moments

gentle mulch
#

i can't imagine that leading to having children though. seems like another reason to buckle down and. yk. not do that. kids cost a lot

cloud wadi
#

Where people do die in droves

#

My guess

dusty sigil
cloud wadi
#

Secret cloning facilities

#

Creating roving bands of orphans constantly

#

To maintain population level

gentle mulch
cloud wadi
#

And also immigration from outskirts

#

If the City is metaphor for modern korea

#

It should be having a demographic crisis yes

uneven canopy
#

time for the gang to cause a financial crisis

gentle mulch
dusty sigil
gentle mulch
dusty sigil
#

Some people in the backstreets are more comparable to like, a paycheck to paycheck lifestyle

#

Some even live in luxury

#

Not counting the nests

cloud wadi
#

Point is that if education is kept high and poor people in the backstreets are living paycheck to paycheck yeah

gentle mulch
cloud wadi
#

Demographic crisis is probably gonna be the result

dusty sigil
#

Also there is always the possibility of: no

#

It isn’t stable

gentle mulch
#

it's not like i have a census for the City so i can't say

dusty sigil
#

There’s just enough of a large population already it’s not really noticeable yet

cloud wadi
#

The head seems to view the city as their ow personal terrarium

dusty sigil
#

We know there’s like, 6 billion I think

cloud wadi
#

So they’ll probably adjust things to keep population stable

#

Even if they won’t mess with things all too much

dusty sigil
#

That’s a large enough population that even with bad numbers it’ll be a while before a dip is felt

cloud wadi
#

Also

#

Lot of nests seem to have radically different cultures

dusty sigil
#

Yah

cloud wadi
#

Like S Corp is agrarian rural economy

dusty sigil
#

Could be some that encourage families for profit reasons

cloud wadi
#

Which I can buy resulting in lots of children because children can serve as laborers in such economies

#

Oh

#

Wait yeah child labor is legal in the city

gentle mulch
#

child labor is encouraged

cloud wadi
#

Well that might explain the population then

dusty sigil
#

They yearn for it

#

Children yearn for x Corp

cloud wadi
#

Poor people are incentivized to have children because they could be a potential ticket out of poverty

gentle mulch
#

oh that's a possibility

You know

#

That thing being blocked by the Index person looks an awful lot like an escape ellevator

#

Also I wonder how many coins Scissors Outis is gonna roll

#

I can't tell if that's 2, 3 or a bloody 4 coin Zayin

#

It's interesting how the two Waws differ in their focus

#

Yi Sang breaks the present and future to bits in order to be rid of the past

stoic fjord
faint pivot
#

I'm not sure what her last line means but Ryoshu seemingly aims to recreate the past and future to break...either the present cycle or her current ties

#

I've said this for Yinglong and I'll say it again...just what are we fighting for this railway?

neat cedar

who knows

but it's going to be bullshit

please outis

faint pivot
mystic ermine
#

Oh! I see

cosmic gorge
#

Fellas does the rock paper scissors abnormality and the hurting teddy bear abnormality feel too similar aesthetic wise

cosmic gorge
#

To me it does

#

Theyre both purple, are a darker take on a childhood concept, and have nails

fickle crown
#

That's because they're a paired abnormality I think

#

My understanding is that the girl is the one that abused Hurting Teddy in the first place

stoic fjord
#

especially with the child being overtly violent, the voodoo doll gift, and the teddy bear having nails driven through it

cosmic gorge
#

Hmm true

#

Outis stabbing rodion and sinclair

fickle crown
#

I think it makes sense in the context of them being a pair

#

Also Faust having Hex Nail is uh

#

Scarier in retrospect

cosmic gorge
cosmic gorge
faint pivot
fickle crown
#

Well there's also the corrosion

faint pivot
#

1st wielder btw

fickle crown
#

With its allusion to miscarriage of all things

cloud wadi
fickle crown
#

Maybe Faust thinks she was born in an unnatural manner?

cloud wadi
#

even though she looks like she's trying to trick you

#

it's just that you don't know the rules to her game

faint pivot
cloud wadi
#

cookie box

fickle crown
#

Yeah

faint pivot
#

Oh oops

#

I understood that as like

#

Just cannibalism tbh

cloud wadi
#

but yeah I'll go for Scissors thing is that it tells you the Truth... but the truth won't help you anyways

faint pivot
#

Since you turn your target into cookies

cloud wadi
#

because you don't know the rules to her game

cosmic gorge
fickle crown
#

I think it might be an allusion to Faust being born through some unusual means

cloud wadi
#

no it's directly honest

#

it's just that she's playing chess while you assume she's playing checkers

faint pivot
cloud wadi
#

basically

fickle crown
#

Outis does have genuinely good advice at times but y'know

#

The face lmao

cloud wadi
#

you lose if you put a rock to her scissors

#

because in her rules rock loses to scissors

stoic fjord
fickle crown
#

Because I immediately thought (on my first encounter with her) "Playing rock sounds like a really bad idea" and went with paper

cloud wadi
#

same

cosmic gorge
#

Wasnt the strat to let her win

#

Bc she throws a hissy fit if she loses

cloud wadi
#

no she accepts it pretty well if she loses

stoic fjord
#

no, she slices off your arms if you lose

#

and is fine if she loses and hands you a doll she made

cloud wadi
#

it's just that the rules are reverse of what you'd expect

cosmic gorge
#

Also, bc the abnormality speaks in a funky southern accent

Imagine Southern Outis NOW

cloud wadi
#

if you put rock againt scissors

#

you lose

stoic fjord
#

another thing of note is that her reasoning for the interactions seems rather illogical

cloud wadi
#

scissors is an interesting case

stoic fjord
#

with paper winning against scissors because "scissors are only useful when there's cloth around" iirc

#

I forget whether it's draw or tie where she slices off your arms

faint pivot
#

Tie, she just pouts and dips

#

Or rather, makes you dip from her space

cloud wadi
#

Where "not trusting her" leads to a good outcome

#

despite her telling you the truth

stoic fjord
#

what's the reasoning for rock losing to scissors again

faint pivot
#

Not given

stoic fjord
#

ah, alr

faint pivot
cosmic gorge
#

Steel beats Rock

#

Cmon poggers you play Pokemon right

faint pivot
#

They're whether you want to take advantage of her honesty or let her (a kid, who usually don't know better) win

cloud wadi
#

yeah

faint pivot
#

You're punished for the former cause you didn't dig deeper

cloud wadi
#

I think that was my thought process initially

#

"I should humor this kid"

#

"What's the worst that can happen, she kills one of us?"

faint pivot
#

I've gotta imagine some of these events in my head more

#

"To chop your arm off" some IDs heal

faint pivot
#

A bunch of IDs intercept the girl and get hurt meanwhile the Magical Girls and Middle pillers get time to lick their wounds

stoic fjord
#

wait deadass?

#

fr?

faint pivot
stoic fjord
#

neato

faint pivot
#

What happens if you field a 100% Envy team

stoic fjord
#

also something I think is super funny

#

is that in the Hatred and Despair pack

#

if you say "we could fail. like we always do." it is genuinely Outis glazing that salvages the situation

#

"clearly you do not understand the Executive Manager's incredibly nuanced and high brow comedy"

#

it is the funniest shit

faint pivot
#

Incredible save Outie

#

Made that shit overflow to positive

#

Did Dante resonate with the value disposal btw cause I think that's the first instance of them being pessimistic

fickle crown
#

Maybe a bit

#

Also Dante has had multiple moments of despair throughout their journey

#

Some more comedic than others, but people like Ricardo and Lei Heng have genuinely left them feeling hopeless

cloud wadi
#

Dante despaired when Vergil was swapped with Charon

fickle crown
#

That's not canon tho

#

There was also Canto 1

#

Which was just

#

Disastrous on multiple levels

faint pivot
#

It is thanks to the Mirror Dungeon

#

The sinners get to feel what they felt

faint pivot
stoic fjord
#

crazy how PMoon managed to make Ricardo feel like comedic relief and the end of the fucking road just moments apart

stoic fjord
#

and while not hopeless, they also felt lost with Ishmael in Canto 5

cloud wadi
#

Moment that man literally walked down the red carpet

#

And started muttering about the world being binary between lusciousness and bristly

stoic fjord
#

and in Canto 6 right before durante

#

and in Canto 7 before the assist-

#

y'know

cloud wadi
#

I knew he was going to be the surprise comic relief character lmfao

stoic fjord
#

I'm realizing Dante actually falls to despair quite a bit before bouncing back

fickle crown
#

Yeah

#

It makes sense that they'd say the second line at some point

stoic fjord
#

I honestly think they're less optimistic and moreso just persistent

#

they'll keep pushing even in a hopeless situation, not because they know or think there's a way out, but just because it's what they feel they have to do

#

and honestly that might be even more inspiring, at least to me, than optimism in a cruel world

#

just the ability to keep pushing onward because it's better than sitting down and giving up

cloud wadi
#

That person has absurd pain tolerance

#

Canonically suffering from constant death like pain every time they fight

cosmic gorge
#

Calling it

There will be a scene where Dant gets captured and is subjected to liveleak levels of horrible torture

cloud wadi
#

And just continuing on as if it’s okay

cosmic gorge
#

But when rescued, shrugs and says tally ho, sinners, lets kick their asses

stoic fjord
#

all 5 fingers team up to torture one guy

cosmic gorge
#

The "tally ho" is integral to this

stoic fjord
#

unfortunately said guy is Dante and they experience the flames of hell like twice a day minimum

cosmic gorge
#

Dante must undermine their aura with a goofy phrase each time

stoic fjord
#

true

#

if they ever aura farm too hard "fiddlesticks" has to come within the same minute

cosmic gorge
#

"gosh, Amiya, you really saved our bacon there"

stoic fjord
#

Dante can have their like. properly cool moment in their own Canto

cloud wadi
#

Dante canto truther

stoic fjord
#

they're a sinner

#

they'll get a canto

cloud wadi
#

That implies they have done something wrong

#

Impossible

#

As they are a perfect commander

cosmic gorge
#

Kjh is an AK fan we'll find out that pre amnesia dant has done some evil shit in the past
Imagine if pre amnesia dant looks and acts like an nb makima

#

Got the chains

stoic fjord
#

I imagine pre-amnesia Dante's sin(s) are like.

  1. individually worse than all of the sinners combined
  2. incredibly numerous
cloud wadi
#

What if they are the founder of the city

stoic fjord
#

like, whatever Outis and Faust have done I think are liable to look fairly tame in comparison when we reach it

stoic fjord
cosmic gorge
#

The Clock that Fell to Earth

cloud wadi
#

What if they are the first bloodfiend

stoic fjord
#

there's so many possibilities

#

KJH please we can't last forever

cosmic gorge
#

Dant has like, Luciferian and Messianic vibes to them

split beacon
#

Tbh

#

I have a suspicion that Dante won’t have an origin or a previous identity

stoic fjord
#

that would also be a possibility

split beacon
#

And that it’s all smoke and mirrors to make the Sinners obey at first

stoic fjord
#

Dante is the homonculus that Faust created

ebon forge
#

Imagine that Dante is like, motherfucking vermillion cross or some shit lol

cosmic gorge
#

Oh does that make Faust our canonically momm- ATELIER BULLET SOUND

cloud wadi
#

I think dante has a definite past

split beacon
#

The things that complicate this idle theory are that Dante (Former) has lines to suggest they have a serious ego on em and an agenda

cloud wadi
#

Yeah

#

They sound pretty uhh

#

Entitled

#

For lack of better word

split beacon
#

Leaving that dangling would be strange

#

Buuut

#

So would establishing Dante (former) any further

cloud wadi
#

Also that theory would mean purple tear is working together with Vergil

cosmic gorge
#

KJH being an AK fan means that Dant i feel with have dokutah parallelisms with having a different character pre and post amnesia

#

KJH you fucking whale

cloud wadi
#

Which is possible but not exactly plausible afaik

cosmic gorge
#

You goddamn whale

cloud wadi
#

Like it could happen

#

But probably not

cosmic gorge
#

Ill never forget that fucking operator screen

cloud wadi
#

Limbus is a KJH plot to generate income to whale in AK

split beacon
#

Another thing I think is possible, albeit kinda out there

#

Is that Dante (former) is essentially a non-factor in that whoever they were before was more or less a random victim chosen to become Dante for Limbus Company’s purposes

Plausible

And that LC just killed this random Citygoer who was convenient so they could create their messiah

Based on context clues it'll probably be power down and curse

Yeah makes sense

I wonder if it'll compete with her base E.G.O

Most other alt Zayins are in consideration, right?

They range from decent tradeoff from baseline to complete upgrade on the original

In the former category: Holiday Heath, Bygone Days Yi Sang

Tbh I kinda want to see what an ID purely of each sin would be like

Like... all 3 skills wrath, with a wrath defense

What would that mirror world's sinner look like

All gloom, all pride, all envy, etc.

Ignoring all the tickets needed to get there, I think I'll be fielding 3 teams for canto 9

  1. Trembleed w/ the N Duo and ManaDon that's purely focused on conditionals and damage
  2. Envy-charge with REAPshu for when things get tougher
  3. Hong Lord with Daishu as a last resort (I doubt I'm fielding this team tbh but just incase)

Aligns nicely as pierce, blunt and slash teams, funnily enough

Well a human kim might want to breach containment too :p

After all three chapters drops I'm pretty sure, it was a ways in

It was prior to Lord Hong dropping, I know that

Can't remember if it was before or after TKT bokgak

stoic fjord
#

say hi to my new stupidest fucking creation of all time

#

I saw the middle E.G.O gifts from nocturnal sweeping and the voices took over

#

I don't have middle don so the other envy res don it is

#

I guess it's a functional charge team as well but like

#

anyways I hate to say it but I think I'm benching Ryoshu for Midsault

#

I can't wait to have thread again so I can do more of this stupid bullshit

#

I wish the middle IDs were unique charge

#

maybe the new middle IDs we get will be unique charge

#

why would they do such a thing?

  1. make charge officially envy res
  2. because it could be a cool name and icon
#
  1. double status double status double status double-
#

if my motivations ever appear unclear

#

just know

#

it's double or triple status

#

wanting a weirdly specific status combo? triple status
agenda posting? triple status
bank fraud? believe it or not, triple status
murder? triple status.
the collapse of US hegemony? you might not believe it, but triple status.
divine ascension to godhood? triple status.
[ ]? triple status.

dusty sigil
#

I don’t want them to be charge because I think that’d be lame

stoic fjord
#

they can stay bleed/envy res

dusty sigil
#

The only thing they need to fuel their skills is the knowledge that they’re rightfully punishing the guilty

#

Charge is for corporations, not families

stoic fjord
#

I think I'm also trying to streamline teambuilding too much

#

it should not be free to slot envy res and charge together

golden meadow
#

he ||released all his wrath on his grandma when he forced her to take a bath||

stoic fjord
#

you must make some level of sacrifice for the family

stoic fjord
#

so I honestly now think that he genuinely meant that and wishes the best

#

I guess the eternal part might mess with that but like

#

I assume it's not exactly like that

#

I think said wrath is repressed way deeper

#

like, shit we'll see after inferno

golden meadow
stoic fjord
#

*wrath

#

that's closer to... I think Envy?

golden meadow
golden meadow
stoic fjord
#

I think gloom is moreso holding onto it

#

the release I think might be moreso envy?

#

idk

#

maybe a mix of both

dusty sigil
stoic fjord
#

gloom definitely does fit I might just be interpreting shit wrong

stoic fjord
#

Multicrack is an independent office?

#

ig?

golden meadow
dusty sigil
stoic fjord
#

also obsession in general

#

true...

#

also charge is a very independent status with little support

#

whereas bleed is all about Lust. and that fits the middle even if they don't have lust skills

#

actually

#

why doesn't the middle have any lust

#

I know they embody envy, and the ring embodies lust, but I think lust fits decently into the middle as well to an extent

#

they all have bleed anyways

#

do we think there's anything besides bleed that the middle could get

atomic steeple
gentle mulch
#

hong lu probably still has repressed wrath because that was one of the main emotions he talked about in his awakening and Inferno is for now people getting the Start of the personal journey

atomic steeple
#

I think envy got pigeonholed by the fandom

stoic fjord
#

I think I'm trying to categorize too hard

#

and need to think more abstract

atomic steeple
#

Think of envy less as just retribution

#

Reminder, firefist is wrath

#

And he's rather vengeful

stoic fjord
#

I mean it's less "Envy is retribution"

#

and moreso Envy is measured, festering want for vengeance in what we see

#

wrath can also be retribution, but more immediate, more lashing out, like Firefist

atomic steeple
#

Plus hong lu was channeling a lot of emotions in that scene

stoic fjord
#

bro was feeling like, everything but sloth I think

golden meadow
atomic steeple
#

Envy is a complicated emotion in limbus

golden meadow
stoic fjord
#

sloth and gloom I think

stoic fjord
stoic fjord
#

I need to re-think the sins more in depth I think

#

I think the only one I have a decent grasp on is pride

atomic steeple
#

I'd say envy is like being stepped on
It's that sick feeling you get inside, a bit distonct from the burning of wrath

#

Ricardo, after the indigo elder wrecks him

#

Says "all of you who turned your backs on the middle"

#

The middle is driven by this feeling of rejection and weakness eating them up inside

stoic fjord
#

Ricardo's obsession with his hair has gotta be deeper than comedic relief

atomic steeple
#

That's why they react so badly to those who leave

stoic fjord
#

like

atomic steeple
#

The Middle never forgets

stoic fjord
#

with how he was comedic relief into "oh fuck this is genuinely the end of the line"

#

I think the hair thing is more than just a funny bit and this guy has serious unresolved issues

#

I think you brought this up actually

#

like, the middle reinforcing the insecurities of its members to keep them in the middle

#

fuck I just want more middle IDs I want to run full envy res in MD or something

#

if W Corp can have enough for a full team then everyone deserves it /hj

#

...someone talk me out of making status teams with only one faction before it's too late

#

the heishou aren't enough

#

I want full liu burn

#

full...

#

what else?

#

Cinq Poise, maybe?

#

Zwei tremor

#

W Corp charge, as mentioned

#

uhhhh

#

I think I've realized the flaws in my theoretical ID designs

#

I try to make them too optimal

#

when I should be trying to be making them work, but not so well that they're perfect for the role

#

like, for instance, trying to make wrath res

wrath is associated with burn, sure, but neither Cobalt or Crimson Scar have reason to have burn, and I don't need to aim for dual status or status in general really

#

I can just fuckin do whatever

#

so long as it's reasonable and interesting

fickle crown
#

Imo the scars would be bleed wrath

#

Possibly with a special charge type

stoic fjord
#

yeah, that's what we went with

#

iirc I made Crimson Scar Bloise and Cobalt Blupture

#

but like

#

....triple status, surely

fickle crown
#

Imo Cobalt Scar should be bleed with low HP conditionals

stoic fjord
#

but also KoDya type stuff of tank pos SP mode and damage neg SP mode on top of that

fickle crown
#

Cobalt Scar should also get coin power down infliction

stoic fjord
#

Crimson Scar, I think red and I did like... poise mode with ammo, bleed conditionals, vaguely Pequodmael-like while also Cinq?

#

basically marked target they do better against and lose SP if they don't kill it

stoic fjord
#

wow UT3 middlesault's numbers are fucking ass

this is what it does, which

gentle mulch

they're wrong but yes it's good

stoic fjord

lotsa damage, good bleed support, looks like

gentle mulch
#

i personally like resource generation so i pop it for the passive

stoic fjord
#

her base one has a lot less bleed and doesn't have as much damage ramp immediately

#

and yeah this is its passive it's p good

Sucks I never got to pull CA

atomic steeple

Awakening gains attack weight

cloud wadi
#

Contempt awe is also one of the most damaging awakening egos

#

Or used to be

#

Now there’s some serious competition

atomic steeple
#

I like the bleed count on overclock
Though the sanity cost is steep

cloud wadi
#

It’s only real downside is yes

atomic steeple
#

I don't have much sanity support on bleed

cloud wadi
#

The massive sanity cost

keen palm
#

I am hoping to finally uptie 4 as many egos as I can with the next canto drop

cloud wadi
#

My conspiracy theory

#

Is that they are having us return to lce

#

So that they can introduce new characters

atomic steeple
#

What can I do for sanity?

cloud wadi
#

That they can create ids for in the bokgak

#

Also

#

What are the odds that the facility R Corp attacked in Rodion’s uptie event is limbus company facility

#

And that’s why they had surprisingly murderous defense

atomic steeple
stoic fjord
atomic steeple
#

Oh, n faust is optimal, though I have been avoiding the fanatics

yeah NFaust does SP support on the bench for bleed

Her support passive is useful

Man, I know it’s because season 1 ID

Base 13 skill 1, base 18 skill 2 and base 30 skill 3 are super good lol

fickle crown

TT Hong Lu is a surprisingly evergreen ID

#

Also his evade lmao

You forgot how insane it is

It's just an uncapped version of Maidshu's evade

dusty sigil

Yah

#

The only problem is that terrible base roll

But you know

He's gambling lmao

dusty sigil

Luck is a part of skill

Just don’t roll tails lol

fickle crown

Also lol

#

Suddenly out nowhere

#

18 rolling evade

stoic fjord
#

it's also actually onrush which I find hilarious

dusty sigil
dusty sigil
stoic fjord
#

it would be even better if it could infinitely chain like onrush

#

unfortunately we must wait for the red mist ID to experience that

dusty sigil
#

True…

#

Red mist ID will totally have onrush skill 3, that becomes great split vertical enhanced skill 3

fickle crown
#

Tingtang Hong Lu is actually just several tiers above Lord Lu which is fucking hilarious to me

gentle mulch
#

one of my main motivations for limbus company grinding is just how bad the paid boosts are for value2money

dusty sigil
#

Lord Hong is one of the best IDs in the game

gentle mulch
#

it's like the game actively does not want you to spend money on it and who am i to disagree most of the time

stoic fjord
#

ok lowk middleclair is fucking goated in MD

fickle crown
stoic fjord
#

for some reason this guy just pops off

dusty sigil
fickle crown
#

Like seriously TT's main advantages are that he's just a good standalone unit without the infinite greed of needing one limbillion thread for the entire Heishou pack + Lord Lu

stoic fjord
#

ohhhhh

#

so like

#

practicality

#

not in a vacuum

dusty sigil
#

Oh yah

#

I see what you mean

stoic fjord
#

like, yeah, UT4 Hong Lord with a full team is stronger than any TT Hong Lu team comp

#

but also like

#

I got that by genuinely no-lifing the game and still am not done

fickle crown
#

That and also I don't respect the majority of what the Heishou do at all

#

Cockliff is based though because he's actually fun to play

stoic fjord
#

genuinely all we needed was a Maost nerf and we might've actually gotten peak Heishou

#

it's like talisclair all over again

#

the fault lies with Maost for our zero fucking deathrites ever

lean fjord
#

they should have just given them all Deathrite anyway

#

it's not like it would have really changed anything for Maost

#

she can counter with S3-2 every turn anyway once she gets it once

stoic fjord
#

I like the heishou because they are cool but they could also be so much fucking cooler

fickle crown
#

Also my goat TT Hong somehow winning against T H E S P H E R E

stoic fjord
#

gangsta shit

gentle mulch
#

i think like

#

unfocused volley is fun

#

but the heishous as a whole ehhh

#

purely mechanical-wise im not interested in most of them

stoic fjord
#

I like using them but I like all of my other teams so far more which does not bode well

#

because like. half my fucking burn units are UT3 and sinking is missing a 7th

gentle mulch
#

like. si, maost, and you branch are the only ones i really care about

fickle crown
#

Cockliff and Wu Sang are great

#

The rest I'm just like

#

Eh

gentle mulch
#

i havent played wu sang actually

fickle crown
#

He's hilarious lmao

stoic fjord
#

I like Wu Sang

#

fun tank

#

good combo with Xishmael

#

refuses to die

gentle mulch
#

what his general flow

fickle crown
#

Wu Sang's gimmick is "I don't give a shit go my concussion"

gentle mulch
#

i do like idgafers in my comp

stoic fjord
lean fjord
#

his main benefit is he gets a bunch of refreshing shield

stoic fjord
#

he looks at the enemy, decides his stagger bars aren't relevant, and then just keeps beating their skulls in until they have tinnitus

lean fjord
#

so he can very easily tank stuff for you

stoic fjord
#

it's great

fickle crown
#

So the other benefit he has is his insane bench passive

#

Bro just straight up gives you 50 HP if there's enough of a speed difference and you're below half

stoic fjord
#

oh yeah it's fucking crazy

#

he goes on every single weird team I try that isn't FB

#

HOW AM I GETTING EVER SINGLE SECRET BOSS BUT RICKY

#

I'm getting fucking mad

gentle mulch
#

sighhh

stoic fjord
#

I'm getting mad

gentle mulch
#

i wish there were more battles like night in the backstreets where it's just a fucking flood

#

human encounters but good

stoic fjord
#

real

fickle crown
#

Actually a really funny build comp you can do is run Wu Sang with Lord Lu and Jia Ish alongside W Outis, Heath, Don, and another random Heishou of your choice

#

Comp where you're not allowed to die

#

W Outis is actually hilarious in drawn out fights

stoic fjord
#

wait

#

no

fickle crown
#

Okay but Wcliff is based

stoic fjord
#

W Heath

#

I'm a brick

gentle mulch
stoic fjord
#

I'm stupid

gentle mulch
#

i sorta miss how painful ruina was with long fights

#

it came to a point where i'd just set out a few hours a day for one fight in ruina and if i lost i tried again tomorrow

stoic fjord
#

this simultaneously sounds miserable and awesome

gentle mulch
#

yeah

#

i miss it

#

also one thing i wish they fixed was heishou retreat on unopposed counter

#

since the skill says it does it at combat start but

#

doesnt

stoic fjord
#

2 middle goons and 2 magical girls show a Capo of the thumb who the real best finger is

#

nvm middle clair just fucking died

Also ngl I find it hilarious how G-Greg is just health hauler but watered down

alright that was fucked I think I'm going to take a break from stupid MDE teams that aren't prepared for this shit

I think I'm getting tired of limbus

maybe I should detox
