but yeah
i think the ones I feel least sorry for are the Musicians, because like
the whole recreation of a mass death event thing
||watching Reverb Phillip split into 4 babies and the main body made me want to fucking blow my shit smooth off the instant it happened||
THIS IS FUCKING IMMORAL PHILLIP
THIS ISN'T OKAY
Phillip is an enemy of our glorious savior Hatsune Miku
praise be
even her love and kindness could not give salvation to such a wretched fuck
(I am not happy at Phillip in case it was not obvious)
it's a very good song
corpses?
oh. no. they're uh
they're sentient enough to become books
they've very much been spit out as puppetmonsters
JH is one of the ones where I'm like
okay you have like five lines where you're spitting but we gotta kill you like yesterday
Yeah JH is a case of "I'm || sorry your son died|| but brother what are you DOING?"
ok phillip wasn't so bad
yeah
like
imagine being like
a normal city dweller and some guy kidnaps you, stuffs you in a woman's corpse along with like five other people and then puppeted for the sole person of making a guy mad and then being forced to battle for your life in ways that you may have never seen before or thought to be possible
and then
afterwards
when you think you've died
you realize your back in the City. stuck in the same flesh. with like five other tortured people also realizing they're still alive
In many ways the Puppeteer is a mirror to Roland, it's just he never learns to move on
like jae heon if you're STILL out there I'm going to hunt you down and perpetuate the cycle of violence
Jae-Heon is dead for real
Yeah
then kill him
AGAIN
and then pluto is like
mmmm nothing's real
magic: missile
I love that conversation he has with Hokma
Pluto gets beaten like a rug by Hokma rhetorically and then goes “fucking okay, how about you die then”
"It is worth to chase your truth even if the world is beyond your ken
You are just a loser hiding behind hollow rhetoric"
"i have ULTRATRAUMA. NOTHING IS REAL. JUST LIKE THAT CONTRACT"
"okay but what if--"
"what if i fucking killed you"
and then proceeds to get hit with the 13th Toll Trash Disposal Special
[dies anyways]
LOLANG???
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"When you go to hell, tell the devil I sent you and I'm sorry for the inconvenience"
I love hokma sm
Eileen I don't fucking care I'm going to shoot you in the face 600 times now
EILEEN STOP YAPPING SO I CAN START KILLING YOU
yesod agrees with me!!!!
CLAIMS TO BE INVULNERABLE TO DAMAGE
DIES ANYWAYS
it's such a funny bug(?) that his passive is just like
"oh btw true damage works regardless lol"
Eileen is a shithead with absolutely nuthin going on rhetorically
i dont think pjm is going to write a more hilariously ironic diagetic death
pluto you fucking clown
the Viper does not concern himself with the gear cultist
Pluto’s clownery is pretty well summed up by the fact that he’s a magician
i see you trying not to rage yesod thats respectful as fuck you like your fans yesod
"we're all cogs in the machine and should accept that"
you are, maybe! I have a pipe bomb and directions to my nearest Middle tax collectors!
He literally just rejects reality and substitutes his own
There is no solipsism he’s just selfish and annoying
yeah pluto is like
elena "well i cant figure it out so it's not that deep"
He says all this bullshit nonsense about how reality is full of lies and how we just acquire more false beliefs by trying to learn, then he busts out “behold my brachial quietuses”
Bro stfu
her whole "a world built on strength" thing is just hollow as fuck
and Gebura rightly clowns her for it
bro shut the fuck up WCORP BLAST
library of ruina is a comedy
just. just. yeah.
the ensemble in general like
they are the city
they are everything wrong with how the city works
better first line crop
see Tanya's social darwinism, Eileens "we need to be a cog in the machine", Bremen's hedonism ect
"A world build on stre-"
"Ok well I'm stronger and I say that's fucking lame. Courage to protect. killing you with hammers."
is what I'm imagining
I doubt that's actually it but I imagine some part of it is
- Gebura is simply Her
- Gebura ain't about the whole social darwinism thing
you'll see when you get there
Actually she goes “real strength is relying on others, and protecting them in turn. Clown ass”
I wonder
How related is the church of gears to the index
Goofiest Reverb Ensemble member award goes to Elena though
Literally embodies being an ignorant dummy
"i kept asking myself why...but what if i just stopped doing that? it's literally not that deep"
ishowbinah
floor of philosophy
most tolerant librarians in the City at the time
Realest one is Greta, she’s fucked up but she’s got her head screwed on surprisingly tight in that she’s just like “I can be selfish if I want to?”
“Have you considered that?”
maybe we should spoiler some of this for juniper
ops
o otay
spoiler it for others, but I don't mind
yeah i think greta is one of the more normal ones
ah, sorry, just felt really bad about bringing up Hokma/Geb when you weren't there all of a sudden
but yeah
greta is relatively normal
in comparison to a lot of the tohers
bremen is hands down the funniest
despite the fact that like
netzach is being 100% serious
Greta literally just goes “we should get rid of wealth disparity because it makes people taste terrible”
She’s so great
Greta is literally just a selfish dick and when Hod calls her on it she’s just like “hell yeah and I’m happy”
and very real on his end
you just have them making ||animal noises|| the whole time
shes goes "huh. dope"
better than most ill say
i think my favourite bit is like
Hod trying to be super polite about the whole cannibalism thing lmao
I mean Hod doesn't really score a huge rhetorical own
but in return she does hit Greta with "yeah well that's why yo shoes raggedy, if everyone's gonna do the wrong thing it falls on us to choose to do the right thing anyways"
yeah
which is pretty badass of her
nice guys finish last ass line
nah Jae-heon is right for this one
damn 😔 thats why kali still bumming it out in the library and not misting all over the place
there's a difference between being nice and helping people, and living for others
Kali did right by people because she wanted to, not because her life was about serving others
She's pretty direct about it as Gebura in the Library even
in the context of Chesed's like
maybe we should also have some responsibility for our actions
the jump to "youre just living for others :shakingduckcig:" is a bit
uhh
jae heon
no see that's Jae-heon summed up, he justifies being selfish by correctly stating that you have to live for yourself because he's allergic to responsibility
because he's allergic to responsibility. and we're going to torture him forever with swords
the hammers are reserved for argalia
the hammers the guns the knives the greatswords the whole shebang is reserved for argalia
There’s gotta be Incubus styles augmented human in th city somewhere
A guy who can just regenerate most damage
Chesed represents kindness, mercy, and grace right
the augments of hindley
the regeneration of K corp
the aura of sukuna
the opposite of that is just being a narrowminded unforgiving dick
the head of john
which is what Jae-heon is
yeah
Yeah and that describes Jaeheon alright
he's not wrong that people suck and the City is a place where you gotta put yourself and what you want to do first
but he's SO judgmental that he gives himself license to do whatever he wants, no matter who gets hurt
making him no better than the people he thinks are shit
i agree on like a base level with the words he's saying on that regard, but knowing who he is and what he actually means/intends with what he's saying makes everything he says sound Like That to me
hmm
I mean, he kind of resonates with that type of guy, he's definitely espousing that kindness is wasted on Cityfolk
He's the "empathy is a sin" type of guy.
Moreso than Tanya, he espouses cruelty less but he's more embittered and judgmental
dickhead 🙂↕️
Guido kinda
We kill him like
3 times
And each time he just pops his infinite ampules and gets back up
It’s notable that Carmen always describes distortions as revelation of the person’s true feelings
So in a way all the distortions are basically people as they are without filters
It turns out that for most people this is awful
i do wonder about the whole true feelings part
[though it's been a while since ive interacted with funger] since iirc rher does a similar thing in that
theyre like ohhhh im just turning people into what they really are
and it's always "thing that kills people constantly"
LMAO
YOU WERE NOT LYING
GRETA DISLIKES WEALTH DISPARITY BECAUSE SHE WANTS MORE BALANCED FLAVORS FOR HER COOKING
Yep
what can i say
She’s got a one track mind
And it’s “eating people”
shes hungry
Do we know how she even distorted?
With what
The demiglaze sauce incident
Demi-glace (French pronunciation: [dəmi ɡlas], 'half glaze') is a rich brown sauce in French cuisine used by itself or as a base for other sauces. The term comes from the French word glace, which, when used in reference to a sauce, means "icing" or "glaze". It is traditionally made by combining one part espagnole sauce and one part brown sto...
Demiglace, whatever
Fake French word
Anyways we do know one thing about her cooking style
She dislikes sauces
tfw communism for the sake of tastier cannibalism
now im just thinking about abnos again
do we still have any idea what the end result of the fraud duo's plot armor is going to be
That one's seemingly a side effect, a happy accident if you will
no idea but like
I kinda suspect that the abnormalities and Carmen are playing N Corp a little
taking them for a ride if you will
Wonder if we'll see more EverythingThereIsAnInquistors come next canto
like it's just never that easy as "whew I'm sure glad the abnormality EGO gear just decided to help randomly and save our asses"
i happy accident but i hope it goes somewhere other than these two fuckers get bailed out because their drip said so
that shit has to cost something
and like luna is saying right now i hope it costs something
Speaking of those things, an ETIAI ncorp id would be one of my sinner OC's mirror world ID
i do hope it's more carmen fuckery
I'd welcome more Corroded bums, they're fun
We find out next canto that they can't take the suits off
if you shower w the der fluch rags you go to hell
Clearly can tho
So far
Next canto we find they got a personality edit, then?
Who knows maybe the gunk of their fraudulence sticks to them
Similar to how sin resistances swap out after using an EGO, their sins are diffetent
Like if you sweat glue
It'd be mad funny if we see Gubo commit friendly fire without Fell Bullet
Abnos can breach through ego after all
same! It's a very interesting concept
Correct, however we only found out about that now
Seemingly because of LobCorp's additional protections
Now NCorp neglected to implement those
Everything There of An Inquisitor
oh, lmao
I love how Hod says sorry for ||fucking murderizing Greta||
like bro do not apologize to her
She’s too nice
shes literally nice
Oh oops did not realize you were that far already Madam
Not sure about the extra I
And if we're ever getting Fully corroded sinner IDs
That said
The proper name is Everything There Is of an Inquisitor
More of MagiDon-type EGO gear users would be nice
Wouldnt you love to be murderized by a cute girl who feels genuinely apologetic for getting your blood all over the floor?
chat he's bald
No helmet hair if no helmet at all
streamer's bald
No wonder they had to be destroyed
Very cute when you dress her up as boss assassin yujin, give her the creepy spider mask, and the skin veil
🙂↕️
Ngl
Bit of a shame that ETOAI and Proceeding Investigators have no visual difference
Or hell
None of the inquisitors we saw were bald?
Attack differences
None of the IDs are either
Look at the sprite of everything there
Charlie's asking cause every corroded inquisitor is bald
Err, well
I think thats probably because of the mutation destroying their skin
The ones we see the heads of, at least lmao
I'd believe this
Alternatively considering how syncing with EGO changes your looks, this could be a corrosion side effect
ragebaited bro by murdering his friends
channeled my past phobia of clowns to fucking murk him
I imagine this is in good part in relation to the abnos
||Gebura hit her with the "oh my god stop fucking glazing"||
Chesed and Hong Lu are genuinely top tier ragebaiters I think
Wow Oswald how hypocritical
Canto 9 spoilers
I found some cute comics
-# (by @lexia_solve_e on twitter, I think)
Oh yeah Kira in hurting teddy ego makes sense
I believe this is actually voodoo doll
same as Outis's new one
but Hurting Teddy would also make a lot of sense
probably would fit better, actually...
Oh, Will You Play, yeah
Will you play fits Mathias and Kira too yeah
Abno about being forced to play a deadly game that they won’t tell you the rules of
Honestly that matches middle to a T
Around them knowing or not you are playing a deadly game
And only Middle knows the rules
Silly purple bleed people and their silly purple people rules
yeah teddy bear kira would be cute
blocc
increase your block power
why dont the big sinners just eat the smaller sinners
are they stupid
Yes
i maen
now
yeah
PLEASSEEEEE PLEASEEEEEE I NEEEEED THIS
MY HOHENHEIM IS KIND OF REGRETLESS
HE SAID THE THING!!!
Project moon loves the joke of superhuman badass mercenaries going “gah normal chores this is worse than death” so I could see it happening in canon
lolang
The list of things you can humanize your badass aura farming character with in a PJM game:
- chores
- food
- relationship stuff
- family
...
why am I being given 3 floors?
i feel like having a normal, healthy, happy relationship with a family in the city makes you the city's top badass already
Ex condition: Survive
...
I'm scared
the first stage is the hardest one
HE HAS ONE OF GEBURA'S THINGS BUT STRONGER???
Said lying Odysseus, who lied
mostly due to die rolls
the first stage uses actual key pages
the others do not so they have worse rolls
I'm using mods to make like. OP shit. so this actually probably won't be like, torturous
but I will go back in on a fully vanilla experience just to see how this shit actually is
plus you have scaling from emotion level and stuff
I'm just here to see the story for now
I do not think the first stage is the hardest but it is the one that can meme on you
I'll actually get into the death and suffering and agony and pain that Roland wants me to feel once I'm like
in a less easily tilted mindset
I don't think bro is very happy with us
Tragic, today is mannequin day for lux
you mean rose hunter day?
ohh
Unbreakable coin assholes
its sunday you can pick whatever
you can fight Little Brothers if you want
it's the best day of the week, Rose Hunter threadlux and wildcard xplux
i like blunt but i need to build a middle team
i don't have access to pure monoblunt yet
my blunt team is mostly just charge but again yeah lmao
😭
Of course that's what gets recommended after that
Immediate flash backs to Gebura vs ||Garrion|| (Core Suppression spoilers)
Destroyed lab, tattered plush toy, caving walls, corroded corpses
Istg the Index is tipping its hand here but it's too big for me to pinpoint what it looks like
||roaches in the blood||
that blood bite BACK
you bite the blood
and the blood bites back my man
ok
uh
endgame fights
are
more difficult than anything I could power through
so we're gonna take a break for tonight
Someone did a 3 turn clear of Lei Heng with only Mao Faust and Hong Lord
Is it 3 turns including the first turn where you can’t really damage him and lose all clashes
Or 3 turns not including that turn
I think it includes that turn
yes
but only on hong lord
or
yeah double on one turn
their skill rotation is pretty good ofc but
Ira Durante (Gebura) ability on Heishou Faust is just... idk man, lore accurate I guess? This is probably how Jia Qiu and Zilu would fight against Lei Heng if Zilu wasn't injured lmao
Matthias theme because it's cool yes
#limbuscompany #projectmoon #림버스컴퍼니 #limbus
oh yeah also level 60 was used here
that and Ira I think were the last barriers to be able to cut Lantern Yi Sang
I'm only impressed if they somehow unnerf Lei Heng
oh rupture is definitely going to feel maost's presence for a while
I wonder if it'll be more or less impactful than Talisman Sinclair
I don’t think these would be affected by the nerfs
yeah, the nerfs didn't make him less tanky, right?
talisman is the unit you bench, and if an ID happens to be able to hit 15/3 with talisman
it broke the game
that makes sense
The nerfs were to tanglecleaver and savage tigerslayer
To make him gain Paralyze on clash lose and deal less damage
neither of those skills even get to show up in this video
it's over before the rotation can hit them
Before the nerf savage tigerslayer used to kill your entire team even if he lost the clash lmao
Maost is just ahead of the power creep by a degree
I think by the time Inferno is over, rupture will be stable again
like, she'll be more long-lived than intended, but I think will eventually become normal
maybe rupture wont even be a meta at all, and we'll just live in a world where we play our favorite IDs with busted damage conditionals
one can dream
I think it'll be moreso faction teams at a certain point, with the status there largely for conditionals
i would hope so
I fw "faction teams and also a couple other people if you're feeling it"
so I like bleed
Maost will probably remain the most broken ID in the game for a long time
oh absolutely
her max DPR is like, double the next highest, they're not going to make the same mistake
The delta between here and the second best ID is that large
And she doesn’t even need a rupture team anyway, just a team that can generate some gluttony
please please please KJH don't prove me wrong
don't turn tremor into the meta with ValenciRodion and Luciocliff or something
If your team can generate 1 gluttony outside of her she turns on her passive turn 3 (which means S3-2 looping by turn 5), if your team can generate 3 gluttony she turns on passive turn 2 (which means loops on turn 4)
ringsang releasedddddd
15.05.2024
so roughly like what
2 years of being The Meta Pick
year and a half?
Ringsang kinda forced coin power conditionals iirc
is he not still meta on bleed?
it's a flexslot pick
evil for the greater good
I know it's bloodfiends minus barber outis, kurokumos, and 1 flex slot for meta
or something
If you believe in Sanguine Desire being the only thing you need for count, and therefore all that matters is potency, you don’t use him
People don’t use priest anymore
ah yeah we're still feeling that today
what the fuuuuuuuck
It’s manager, cassetti, Princess, both KKs, +2
crazy
You can chuck in priest if you want but one sanguine desire turn gives you enough bloodfeast for the rest of combat
having two flex slots is some insane greed
So he’s not really necessary
tbf KoDya is all you need for sinking count
There will be cyan coins in the future
and then theres the mao
ok not quite all the new sinking seems to fuck up count bad enough to need some more careful control
Coins which don’t break upon clash lose and gains in coin power instead of losing them
Consider:
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) So he’s not really necessary
but also yeah lmao sinking is so solidly just "do whatever the fuck, man"
rubbing my rime shankahhh
ok never phrase it like that again
but also fair yeah
N Shu, Priest, Ringsang, Allen, are all flex picks
you can also just run a second count provider and be set
How have we literally never noticed this before
it's part of what makes her op as shittttttt
and why no one uses anything but counter or s3 on her skill rotation
sinking and bleed competing to see who can be the most home free in the modern meta
You can run Allen greg instead of priest
We never knew this 😭
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) and why no one uses anything but counter or s3 on her skill rotation
i love my sinking IDs personally
iirc once you get into her loop she does like
now you have the Power to ruin any fight
roughly 2.5x as much damage as KoDya?
Minus coin KoDya, iirc
so
uh
yeah no it's fucking insane
she does top class damage
Yeah she does 1500 DPR, minus KoDya does 600
The nerfs would have taken her from 1500 to like 900-1000
thats why i hope we get more like
so still insane, just like
status resistant enemies or even like
by a smaller margin
split sinner encounters again
it's a much better compromise than just flat hp increase or like
well i guess this canto was all about getting power scaled to shit
How does it get to 1500?
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) Yeah she does 1500 DPR, minus KoDya does 600
genuinely just splitting Hong Lord and Maost apart from each other makes things so much less fucked
restraining order
She uses S3-2 every turn
with enough of her status, she uses her S3-2 instead of her normal assist defense
and crits!
8 from death rite activations, 5 from assist defense
if you have thora on her isnt she poise positive lmao
thats fucking hilarious
more S3s
Lord Lu + Mao Faust is genuinely so fucked that it's not even funny
I don't think there's another duo that enables each other in the same way
Mao Faust tanks shit for Lord Lu, Lord Lu lets her scale faster, provides glut, procs more S3s
How does the math work to get 1500?
mao faust is meta in tremor btwwww thats how busted she is
iirc it comes from the statistical average turn rotation at 45 SP
The base damage of her S3-2 not counting rupture is
13*(1+0.5+0.2+0.1)
+
19 (1+0.5+0.2+0.1)
+
25 (1+0.5+0.2+0.3+0.1)
+
31 (1+0.5+0.2+0.3+0.1)
but the exact numbers I don't know
but, hey, we have someone doing that now, so I don't have to
oh and Mao Faust can run either Command: Meltdown to heal Lord Lu or Thoracalgia to boost his poise as well as her own
and his S2
gets coin power off of him having poise
and because she's Mao Branch, oh, look! Rupture! Rupture on the enemy! for even more coin power!
Lord Lu and the 3 Mao Heishou could probably manage nearly any encounter in the game
Which is 1.8 (32) + 2.1(56) for 175.2
okay well we could probably take off Outis and Ryoshu but also they probably make it more comfy of a margin
Then add rupture and four deathrite activations
Where is the 0.5 coming from?
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) The base damage of her S3-2 not counting rupture is
13*(1+0.5+0.2+0.1)
+
19 (1+0.5+0.2+0.1)
+
25 (1+…
50% damage conditional on her S3-2
Ah
damage conditionals in general really
If this unit's Speed is faster than the target's, deal +(Speed difference x Rupture.pngRupture Potency on target)% damage (max 50%)
Yeah most enemies are 2-4 speed
that's her entire thing. she gets MD speed numbers in normal play
and her MD speed numbers...
I think I average around 25 on her in MDE
So if she’s hitting 10 speed for the reuse (which she will because of the haste from starblade) she will be 5+ speed faster than them
And that 170 isn’t all her damage either because her counter also does damage
and her counter will give her assist defense for a second S3-2
Admittedly it’s not as much but it’s still (11+15)*1.1 for another 30ish
So even without rupture you’re looking at 200 damage on a turn, five out of six turns, and on the sixth turn she uses an actual S3 to deal 340 instead of 200
...wait
wait does DPR not mean what I thought it meant
DPR is damage per rotation?
Yes
Why
Because per round would make no sense
Discard IDs can be a bit janky to calculate rotation damage
KoDya does like, 300 with her S3-2, and then the other 5 skills do a combined 300 usually ime so
Eh her S2-2 does a lot as well
It’s mostly her S1/clashable counter that doesn’t do an insane amount
Her S2-2 does lets see
She has a stupid amount of passive damage conditionals so one sec
2 damage up, 1 power up, 5 OL up
+20% damage from despair
+20% damage from deep tears
+3 final power
So you’re looking at 20 + 20 + 20 baseline and all of that is multiplied by (1+0.2+0.15+0.2+0.2)
Oh yeah plus 20% from tear sharpened
Add another 0.2 in there
So it’s about 120 damage
i dont think her s3 does 300 baseline
oh okay yeah fair that's me going off of memory
oh wait it's with uh
human encounters
where her first 2 coins usually stagger
yeah okay what's her S3's damage
lets see its
uhh
28 base power, 4 coins
so 28+28+28+28
and you have in addition to all that other stuff, increase the deep tears damage to 60%
and the tear sharpened damage to 30% because you need 3 to reuse it
ohhhh wait this is the full rotation where you keep switching between plus and minus
well she'll be out of minus at the end of the rotation
it assumes guard, counter, s2, s2, counter, s3
so 112 * (1+0.2+0.15+0.6+0.2+0.3)
not during the rotation
274.4
okay so just under a flat 300
yeah 240 from s2s, 274 from s3
and it's 2 counters and a guard, not all 3 S1s
i think her counter doing like 45 is correct
yeah its 15 + 15
so 30
it doesn't get a boost from OL up because its a defense skill so its just despair and damage up i think
it will get some tear-sharpened damage so the first counter will be 30*1.5 for 45 and the second will be *1.6 for 48
where's the list of IDs by DPR
ok so now I know not to trust prydwen.gg on everything without further consideration
because
be so fucking for real with me right now who put Spicebush in SS for sinking
sinking deluge is not all that
spicebush is best in role for low turn counts using sinking
for most purposes these days you'd rather use solemn lament
but if you're specifically looking for low turn stage clears on enemies that have one or zero hp gates spicebush is better
what the fuck do they even mean by status specialist
I guess full sending a status rather than normal stuff but like
idk it just feels weird
especially since it's also labeling all of these as endgame
I think Prydwen might be more tailored to usual gacha games so some of this stuff is off because of just. how different Limbus is in some senses
looks like caposault is third highest dpr
the highest non mao faust characters are all aoe i think until kodion
caposault does do great damage but i believe that one assumes he gets an aoe s3
that one has him higher than KoDya with AoE
without it he's below wildcliff
ah, okay
he can get it in one rotation
counter s1, s1, s2, s2 chews up 6/8 bullets
meaning if you do counter, s1, s2, s2, s3 (aoe), s1 it'll work
Question
Which meta team has the most damage from status?
My guess is burn or tremor
Oh I mean like, proportionally
Is it because of everlasting
the only burn id that is outdamaging their main skills with the burn is magic bullet
yeah
Maost carries the damage of a completely different status team like an absolute fucking chad
What the fuck do they feed thr adepts
well
no one really uses Maost for her damage in tremor
like you can but it takes forever to build up the 5 gluttony so you can start looping
it's mostly because she has on demand 5 haste so you can get everlasting out first
and faust's only actual tremor id is abysmally slow
(well its not mariachi sinclair level but 3-6 when most ids are 4-7 means she'll go last or second last quite a lot)
isn't everlasting where most of the damage comes from? that's what I'm referring to
like, not her skills, just that everlasting is used on her specifically
yeah but its not because maost herself is doing obscene damage
its mostly because she's fast
yeah I know it was a joke
if they printed a faust id tomorrow that rolled 20-25 speed and had 0+0 on all 3 skills
people would probably be doing that instead
are future hypothetical tremor faust IDs doomed to irrelevance if they can't manage the same speed threshold that Maost can
not really
Limbus company x cyberpunk 2077 by @RmenSSARI
the threshold a future faust ID needs to hit speedwise is "consistently higher than the rest of the team", not the fastest ID ever
So Tanya Faust
which is why the future Oufi Faust will just have a status that constantly gives her more and more haste
He has some of the highest damage potential in the game!*
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) be so fucking for real with me right now who put Spicebush in SS for sinking
-# *assuming you are fighting a boss with a bajillion hp and manage to stack 99/99 sinking on it without Spicebush dying first
Spicebush is going to be relevant forever because of how he is
oh, I meant the threshold of speed, not Maost's numbers exactly
just like
fast enough to consistently go first
these designs go so fucking hard it's insane
Don Quixote's design just

it's so good in its simplicity and all that
Huh, maybe a T Corp ID instead because of their borrowed time gimmick?

Why is Lantern Sang so high up?
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) ok so now I know not to trust prydwen.gg on everything without further consideration 📎
Prydwen is run by lunatics
Lantern sang is an OK ID but he’s not like
Changing the game
Figured as much
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) Prydwen is run by lunatics
I don’t see us returning to TimeTrack Corp anytime soon
Is T Corp Outis being higher up than Molar Outis right
I feel like i see molar more than T Corp
Molar is better I’m pretty sure?
Molar is better for doing The Agenda
(Stacking tons of Tremor, converting to Everlasting+Reverb, and nuking)
I wonder if Thumb will moreso be tremor or moreso be burn coming up
But IMO the Tremor agenda is kind of in the same zone as Sinking Deluge in terms of being an unnecessarily intricate and marginal strategy for dealing Optimal Damage instead of playing the game sensibly
I guarantee you do not need to be doing perfect time mora nukes
Yeah I avoid Tremor lol it's def the status I mess w least
||but it's fun tho||

https://www.rxddit.com/r/limbuscompany/comments/1qsrsm5/falling_into_the_web_valencina_character_analysis/
really interesting analysis of Valencina here that kinda ties together some opinions I already held about her character with some inferences about who exactly she could've pissed off to get stripped of her rank so fast and how
the picture of Valencina, a freshly-minted war hero Sottocapo, getting unruly drunk and acting like a complete idiot, high on her victory and shuddering with war stress at the same time, is pretty vivid.
she feels very... idk how to explain it
it feels like some form of ptsd
and her coping mechanism is pride, almost
I mean it is PTSD and her coping mechanism is bravado yes
yeah i dont know how to describe these things myself, tbh
She blatantly lapses into a post-traumatic dissociative episode when Lucio bites it
ah yeah
Like yeah it’s everything else with him being her apprentice and surrogate-child but also she just watched a G Corp pest weapon kill her brother-in-arms again
mmm yeah
How many times did she witness that horror on the battlefields of the Smoke War?
dozens, easily
but also, the torture part, immediately after, is kind of what cinches it
because it makes it very very obvious that Valencina is not a sadist who loves causing pain and does it for fun no matter how much she laughs and tries to act like she's loving it
also, i dont remember canto 1-4 very well, but when gregor goes "i cut apples", how did that work
if she was a sadist, she wouldn't specialize in a fighting style with the purpose of bringing her enemies to an immediate, decisive end by blowing holes in their heads
Rien is a sadist, and his lore text explains that he finds a quiet satisfaction in bringing people to their knees and systematically tearing them apart with his Caduceus because it brings him a cathartic sense of relief
i like how her eye is gloom
because iirc the way sins work is each layer goes deeper into their "truest sin"
Valencina's PTSD meltdown directed towards Gregor instead reveals that she's doing exactly what she did to the G Corp soldiers in the Smoke War, which is revel in the sense of control she had over them, something that seems like a sadistic tendency at first, but remember how we got here? Lucio just died.
She needs her sense of control back.
mmmm
her story is kinda like that of a rock star
one huge hit, become the number 1 in the whole world
get outed for something fucked you did
and tons of fans leave you, try to regain past glory, but you cant and fall to drugs
well, in this case, might not be getting outed, but same logic
If she doesn't do something to make it feel like she's in control of the situation again, Valencina is about to scream and cry and lose her goddamned mind, and right as she pushes Gregor to the limit and brings out his own PTSD monster you see that it's just not fucking working because even when she's got Gregor lying on the floor helpless she can't help but scream and rant as the memories of the war come back in earnest instead of in a controlled way where she acts like she was super fucking cool and a hero
the worst part about the nursefathers is that all of them could be "fixed" somehow
and you know you could NEVER do that
Valencina is a super compelling character because the way she's broken, as a person, is so messy and ugly and out there for everyone to see
Matthias just makes me sad
because he's the most... relatable?
in that you probably know someone like him, or have met someone like him
Matthias is just a regrettably halfbaked man, doubtless the result of things going wrong in his upbringing that he couldn't and didn't understand so the core of his trauma is not getting toys
that's all he could understand so that's all he's got, because he sure didn't grow much past that
like, kira characterizes him
as someone who probably didnt understand the world around him for their true meaning
he's an "alpha male"
like, a fucking alpha male
that's matthias, and i mean that in the most manchild way possible
it's funny how much more depth of character Kira has as this lonesome, genuinely miserable child who can't even express the pain because she has no way of processing it or understanding it
honestly, it feels a lot like matthias too, except his coping mechanism seems to be an endless need for spontanious satisfaction
for Ryoshu, he didnt know that to parent, it's more than just "heres your immediate satisfactions"
I mean yeah, if you want to really dive into his character and get psychological, the natural conclusion for him as a person is that he's absolutely wretched deep inside but so stunted as a person that he lives his life in the pursuit of never introspecting or understanding those feelings and satisfying his immediate urges to keep the voices quiet, endlessly
It wouldn't service the story well
I mean yeah, but that ain't particularly unique of him amongst the Nursefathers
with no outside stimulus Valencina would've eventually found a bottle big enough to crawl into and never come out again and Callisto being Callisto would manage to off himself in a fit of manic creativity and stupidity
pinky nf, if not fucking killed, mightve felt some kind of relief
at least Callisto mightve been happy for those few moments
Rien's Rien so he'd do exactly what he does, use Prescripts as an emotional outlet and malinger like a curse
Riens always going to be miserable but thats because he's a fucking dumbass who cant think
i think Valencina might be able to be happy if she finds a puppygirl to smother /j
god, it would be so permanently destructive to Lucio as a person if Valencina managed to drink herself to death before he got to say or do anything
it would be horrible for him
this is like, halfway unironic
like, her thing is, she wants control, which is why lucio exists
ordering Lucio around doesn't actually fix her life is the thing, Valencina is the type whose external controlling behaviour belies that she's basically mentally trapped in the Smoke War forever
yeah
i dont know exactly how one would get her out of the rut
but somehow i feel like that control dynamic would help, but not in the same sense as the dynamics between her and lucio
she puts vodka in her cereal so she can shake off the terror as she wakes up in the morning idk if puppygirls can fix that
therapist puppygirl /j
in all seriousness
she's looking for things she cant have, and running from things that are stuck in her head, really
lady needs a Floor Realization or two
the librarians might actually get her thinking straight lmao
look the library is a system for attaining human enlightenment or something
Binah can cure any problems
bitch, it's fucking Binah and Hokma
and you have like, fucking Kali there
reach heaven through violence fr
if Binah and Hokma's combined motherly and grandfatherly wisdom can't help you, you're cooked
you know when you get past the "muh Ayin" he's actually pretty eloquent about matters of faith and understanding that there's more to life than what you can prove or demonstrate
ok now i have an image of an engligtened buddist of a basement dweller cheeto finger egirl simp in my head
Ye I don’t think he actually believes in Ayin as much in LoR as he believes in the ideals that Ayin championed
He’s not a pure Ayin simp
like yes "just trust the plAn, Ayin was a genius and the best guy" is a Hokma quote in spirit but so is the Discworld Death monologue about justice
Iirc his dialogue is about everyone needing something to believe in
Ayinism
And he chooses to place his faith in ayin’s vision
Whereas Angela doesn’t really believe in anything
yeah he's pretty clear that it's not because he thinks Ayin was a fucking cosmo brain genius
ayin feels kinda dumb to me
What the heck. New Mili song but for starrail
it's because he thinks Ayin was doing things for the right reasons and that those principles are what will ultimately triumph over human fallibility, given enough time and redos
he's not the record keeper and master of time for no reason after all
also who tf thinks its a good idea to basically torture someone by putting them through millions of cycles of human suffering
anyways im joking here
Incarcerialbrain
look if you want my read on Ayin's decisionmaking around Angela I think it's pretty straightforward
Ayin hated that he saw himself reflected in her
but like, would there not be a better way to keep angela sane and happy
Took me a while to find this meme
he hated it so so so fucking much
Angela is a living reminder to Ayin that he's not just a failure, he's a failure and a bad person whose desperate clinging to Carmen tainted her form and her mind and created a reflection of himself in her stead
Angela was supposed to be Carmen and instead she's him, foolish, selfish, desperate, evil Ayin who couldn't save her and couldn't resurrect her and couldn't find another way to champion her ideals but to imprison himself and all the people who believed in Carmen in Hell
so, yanno
torturing Angela in endless timeloops was probably an overreaction but in fairness Ayin's brain was pretty much soup as they closed in on finalizing the Lobotomy Corporation script
that's why manager X is the goat
The Scarecrow Seeking Wisdom would've gotten nothing but foul-tasting self-loathing sludge out of that man's skull
Ah, the replicating his trauma in others
Just like ||how he planned to male ryoshu be involved in the death of her own daughter and fall into nihilism||
As heathcliff said "hope they don't die before my revenge"
Get her into management games
Binah adoption
K Corp Faust sure is interesting
Love the little embellishments like the K on her pants and the bows on her shoes
What could the research behind the Koffin, I wonder
While i do think this analysis is good, kiramael's uptie says that the thumb nursefather was sent to the war after being exiled to the house of spiders
I think this need for control is also something we see a lot of in Outis- the need to assert herself as a leader and define a clear rank+ her poorly disguised fear at unknown variables cropping up (Don)
It just manifests in a very different way than Valencina's
Outis x don is fun cause the latter is not only an unknown variable, she brings a lot of chaos
Yeah, Don really did seem to strike a lot of Outis' nerves before Canto 7
I can see the vision
Oh hey, that does work

Fell Bullet is on the team, you're gonna be able to lmao
Finally
The EGO rather, not the ID
Although...fueling Magic Bullet you might as well bring the three...
I mean the EGO is way better for killing teammates then the ID
The ID needs buildup
The EGO needs you to hold down the EGO button
While you are correct Magma this is like
Comparing a neutral special to a limit break
Fair lol
Speaking of the EGO users, I totally forgot
- To switch KoDya to positive so that she can survive Love & Hate
- That QoHote has a free anti-corrode
Almost got her staggered there, good thing she was vs. blunt attacks
A shame that KoDya died but at least REAP has Envy s1s

Oh, cool thing I learned. Metal in the wuxing is associated with breathing. ANd pride has poise and metal blades for its symbolism
Chat, it’s been pointed out to me that BL Yi Sang’s passive gives a +3 coin power, to everything
Not just skills
And he just got a 4 coin EGO
How
Distortionfarming
Poise sinking id that every crit does (poise plus sinking)/2 gloom or pride damage
Isn't it also a poise E.G.O
Yup
MILI MADE A SONG FOR HONKAI STAR RAIL???
Huh, a passive I am considering for a homebrew is just named Gaze. Came up with it long ago, and now whenever I look at it I just think o contempt awe
you should make contempt awe
Add it as homebrew, hm
“Man, what a canto!”
“Wtf are you talking about, Trailblazer”
When making the homebrew, I had actually taken manager don as inspiration
The don quixote hardblood arts
and shifting weapons
Someone brought up the sanity costs of mang
And how different people have different levels of power to their mang
Like Rien’s is 100% damage and 12 final power up, for 30 SP
Virgilius costs 3 SP for +3 coin power and +90% damage
oh, neat
Rien and Sora both drain a lot of SP when they use their Mang IIRC
I imagine because Mang requires you to focus on a strong memory
and for some that might be less pleasant than others, or they might have lower mental fortitude
Also, I think it has to do with the stability and strength of those emotions
Like Sora’s emotions are pretty unstable, she’s close to a distortion in terms of her EGO
mhm
And rein is a baby who doesn’t understand free will
they also only do it for their big attacks
I like how Moses’ well laid plans got waylaid by a single moonstone still
I do hope we get to know more about moonstones in the future
I forget what was the context for the sinners not being allowed to own moonstones
Could swear that was a plot point
rupture bleed charge is possible right
@faint pivot triple status person do you know
what unit has Rup+Bleed+Charge all in one
Then its possible
We don’t remember such a thing being mentioned, but our memory is unreliable
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) I forget what was the context for the sinners not being allowed to own moonstones
XYZ - R Heath
XY - REAPshu
XY - Rhinosault
XZ - Princess Rodion
XZ - Priest Gregor
YZ - MaDonka
YZ - many of the W Corp IDs
REAPShu
there's probably a stronger configuration but this is just off the top of my head
hrm
why don't Manager Don and Barber Outis have rupture? why do only 3 of the bloodfiends do rupture?
so also XZ, then
yeah I think your only free choices are on YZ
so probably MaDonka and uhhh
I can't imagine madonka getting reliable 4x Envy res in this team but she's still a good unit
W Outis?
Yeah it seems I fully just misremembered thst that happened wack lmao
the main thing with this team is that like
rabbitcliff doesn't consume charge
so a lot of the good E.G.O gifts do jack shit for him
"base attack skills that consume charge"
"base attack skills that consume charge"
"base attack skills that consume charge"
"base attack skills that consume charge"
look inside
no base attack skills that consume charge on R Heath
it's incredible
Yeah it’s just his passive, he’s so weird
Launch ID moment
Dante's notes, m corp
fuuuck
LoR spoilers
||Angela fight is so fucking hard, she fr just fucks you so hard||
OH lol thank you I didn’t misremember yay
I was like. I distinctly remember Heath complaining and Faust going “no”
I think it's because of the focus, actually
it wasn't the time to discuss them yet
WHICH MEANS IT'LL BE TIME TO DISCUSS THEM LATER
M CORP CANTO CONFIRMED
the whole thing of how this all works and such
Plzzzz
wasn't there something with Outis linked to M Corp?
but also yeah I think it's fairly clear that Moonlight Stones would interfere with the whole character development angle
Roland lived in M Corp after I Corp I think
Yeahyeah
LMAO is that Kira
Yeah ok
We’re actually not going to N Corp we’re going to M Corp
Meursault Corp
Ignore the fact it’s called MDM Enterprises
Their logo is kinda meursaultcore tho
bleed/rupture is kind of fun
Yes
The Bleruparge vid I saw slots in W Don but tbh yeah I'm using MaDonKa too lmao
It's in M Corp's journal log no?
Like the reason itself is unknown but the prohibition is there
Maybe the reason we aren’t allowed to use them is because suffering builds character

but also holy fuck that's so much aura
A gamble
As far as I know, it's reverb everlasting
Hope that your dudes are in the correct order
Maybe with tremor chain to do something with your tremor until you can do the combo
...isn't that what it's like even with the thumb duo?
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) As far as I know, it's reverb everlasting
Tremor is so bad, it had to implant new mechanics on top of what it did to work
And the best ids to do so aren't tremor
you pray you get an order where you can set Reverb and Everlasting correctly and then score a triple-burst on Molar Outis's S3
Meanwhile sinking thrives
So rupture but bad got it /s
Does Time Moratorium do anything or is it also too gimmicky
okay so Time Moratorium is complicated.
not complicated to execute on per se so much as how it improves Tremor is a complicated story
the ideal Time Moratorium is one where you stagger your enemy and have nukes ready to rock on the turn your enemy is staggered AND in Time Mora in order to cram as much damage as possible down their throat before the time stop breaks and multiply it all by 1.15x
Tremor rather struggles on consistent damage, which I think the thumb duo helps?
in this regard, Time Moratorium is unique in that it's the only Tremor mechanical addon that actually improves the base functionality of Tremor - the designers understand you don't get an unlimited number of staggers, so Time Moratorium's job is to let you capitalize on the ones you get to the maximum, by letting you further exploit the one-turn window for going nuclear
That sounds very complicated but also easier to do than it sounds
[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) the ideal Time Moratorium is one where you stagger your enemy and have nukes ready to rock on the tu…
stagger with a S3 that sets Time Mora and you're cooking.
Well there's tremor fracture, but it failed to be useful
What's fracture do?
Fracture upgrades the stagger tier by +1
so if you stagger an enemy while they're Fractured, they get Stagger+'d instead
Oh, neat
It only comes from binds outis
Oh boo
it also actively fights with damage tremor flavors
like in a perfect world you stagger with Binds Outis and set Time Moratorium with another T Corp. S3, then next turn Hong Lu and Faust activate agenda mode and you drop a nuke on a Stagger+'d, time moratorium'd enemy and absolutely cook them for 2.3x damage multiplication at the end of the turn
We imagine time moratorium does not go well into bosses with phase transitions/health gates on their base stagger threshold
yeah :\
Tremor just has a terrible time with limbus gameplay
Limited stagger bars
Phase transitions and health gates
you just cannot control outcomes enough to be able to actually engineer Tremor's damage situations reliably
Tremor would have been crazy in runia...
It's interesting how fucked tremor is
What we're getting from this is that it's gimmicky as hell and also not a fun gimmick
it's an extremely funny gimmick in mirror dungeons where you can replace all your skills with time moratorium
the T Corp L5 employee experience
because a thing you will never see basically in normal gameplay is that hitting someone in time moratorium with time moratorium again triggers it immediately
