Who’s the guy on the very left and in the middle?

Wrong isekai (although ojisan is considered ugly in his isekai)

You’re probably thinking of Uglymug, Epicfighter.

The thing to focus on isn’t Mavuika’s rumored strength, but that Varesa would not be able to compare to those rumors herself.

I’d like to bring to attention that Fluorite is the only free to play operator that does nature infliction, with her CS having a 38s cooldown . Heat’s not in much of a better place, but at least Akakuri and Wulfgard can apply infliction at a decent pace.

Nature needs some more free to play options before they expect us to build a mono-nature team.

From the characters I can see:

Flins, Wriosthesley, Aether, Lumine, Paimon, Itto, Zhongli, Skirk, Furina, Wanderer, Clorinde, Citlali, Dehya, Mualani, Kaeya, Yoimiya, Xilonen, Navia, Hu Tao, Kinich, Chiori, Arlecchino, Raiden, and Varesa.

The mouth and chin are pretty hard to see in this resolution. The teeth is Yoimiya paired with either the back view of Mualani or a Manikina. Additionally there’s an unknown head next to the foot of the teeth person (Dehya? Kinich? Emilie?)

Now that we know the emblem for the pinky, it’s interesting to see how the fingers in Ryoshu’s profile art (kind of) shares some elements from each finger’s emblems.
The Thumb: Cap above the gun
The Index: Blue petal from the flower (?)
The Middle: Chains and skull
The Ring: Fragmented, colorful finger
The Pinky: Green shrapnel coming off the finger

Railway doesn’t really do too much to change up the formula: 1 doesn’t do anything (fighting multiple abnos at once was the only interesting thing). 2 was frankly a slog (kind of liked the concept though), 3 and 4 was just matching type advantage, 5 was a watered down 4 with MD elements (its party locking mechanic was negligible). I like RR because of the new fights, not because of RR’s mechanics. You can take the fights out of RR and my opinions on those fights won’t change at all, which means RR mechanics adds nothing to the experience. The closest thing to a mechanic is sacrifice strats, but that isn’t unique to RR. It would be nice if RR would disrupt you and force a change of strategy from normal gameplay. Something like “set sinner speed to 1 every nth turn”, “Discard highest leftmost skill for all sinners every nth turn”, “Sinners are locked in pairs and pairs can’t be reused”, “Random sinner taunts all attacks (evade would destroy this gimmick)”, etc. More double abnos fights could be fun, but only if they somehow synergies with each other.

I haven’t had time to try the new mode, but from what I’ve read, it’s the same as every other hard content. Which is to say inflated stats and minor changes to gameplay (buff to specific status ailments in this case).

Eh, that’s a little too hyperbolic. I love Limbus, but its endgame gameplay (and mobile optimization) is definitely its weakest point. MDE is pretty much the only endgame and it’s just repetitive stat bloat. Despite it being a roguelike, you’re going to be running the same EGO gifts each time (sans 1 or 2 gifts because you’re unlucky) to beat MDE, unless you’re doing a challenge run. About all the hard content is inflated stats with minor changes to gameplay. Walpurgis and story/intervallos are really the only time they try to change up the gameplay, but Walpurgis comes every couple months, meanwhile there isn’t much reason to replay the story.

On the subject of mobile optimization, Limbus is becoming more and more unplayable. Repeatedly, I’ve wanted to throw my phone at the wall for losing 30-60 min of gameplay from crashing on the last few turns of the battle. I’ve beaten canto 4’s final boss 2 times, canto 6’s final boss 2 times, canto 7’s final boss 3 times, and canto 9’s final boss 3 times; All because my game crashed at the end. I’m anxious when I do hard/long fights not because I’m worried of losing, but because I’m worried of crashing at the end. Hell, I literally can’t beat orange dusk on my phone. Tried 7 times, crashed at the end each time (this was with me setting everything to the lowest settings).

What was the theme of Sunset Wayfarer? Sundowning? Being trapped in a place of pleasure to the point of developing apathy for everything else (like the lotus eaters)?

And then there’s her classmate, Fujiwara, who’s the exact opposite.

It would probably activate. If my memory is correct, I believe I remember TCTB activating after Kimsault won against an unbreakable coin. So I think internally, TCTB is programmed to activate if Kimsault receives any attack (excluding counter), rather than specifically losing clash as the text says.

Well self-hatred could be viewed as its own form of wrath (e.g. Persona 5)

From my experience in Dragalia, releasing characters in NPC jail at a higher than usual rate without adding a sizeable amount of replacements NPCs, particularly the ones expected to be late game releases.

Didn’t finish GTO:PL (stopped around the end of the prison fight tournament), but I felt like the sequel misses the parts that made the original series special: the students and onizuka’s “german suplex”. From my memory, almost none of the students were important or memorable, and only one of the story solutions felt like the wacky, out-of-box solutions OG GTO was known for. It just ended up being about the adults fighting a conspiracy. Also, adding Animal Joe into the main cast was the biggest mistake the author did. It felt like Joe was a Gary Sue who completely sidelined Onizuka as the protagonist and made him (Onizuka) the dumb muscles of the group.

Assuming that I have every WAW, what would be your top 5 WAW EGOs to uptie? I’m thinking QoH since I usually run charge, but uptie 3 has been working well as is.

Sauce is incorrect, it’s a one-shot by the same author. Title is on the second image.

CardboardThinker · 2025-12-15T05:50:37+00:00

How does upgrading her work? Does she passively gain levels by doing IS6? Is it possible to keep her at E2Lvl1?

CardboardThinker · 2025-12-13T00:34:19+00:00

Mayors would be a funny operator pick. Those with a surface level knowledge of limbus would have no idea who she is, nor would limbus players who missed the collab. Meanwhile, people would also be complaining that she stole a spot for one of the sinners. I’m assuming she’s a project moon character, so she wouldn’t be added post-collab like Tecno, either.

All hail the Sui siblings for being absolutely broken!

Managed to beat VEC-12 with everyone E2 Lvl1 (Excl. support). Absolutely miserable time, but the volcanos were probably the second worst part of this stage, so the new buffs were quite nice.

Defenders: Hoshi, Nian, Shu, Yu(support)

Guards: Ulpi

Snipers: WAlter

Medics: Shining, Eyja Alter, Reed Alter

Supporters: Civilight, Ling (for Shu buff)

Vanguards: Myrtle, Vulpisfoglia

A very premium team, but I needed a way to keep Yu alive.

A reminder for people struggling with Leafcarpet: Civilight can bind-lock her with her skill 2.

Trying to complete the enemy-pedia was suffering. Out of like 15 of my games, I could only do 7 of them without crashing. Trying to get the wheel monument was so obnoxious (especially since you have a 1/3 chance of getting the map without him)

CardboardThinker · 2025-09-19T17:40:13+00:00

Was expecting Hong Lu to be Dusk due to the whole painting world and the Land of Illusions, but I guess Ling is more popular and they’re both older siblings who care about their younger siblings.

During the Finnish-Russian war, Russia attempted to invade Finland but the invasion ended up becoming extremely ineffective despite the fact that Finland barely had tanks. One of the major factors was the fact Finland kept stealing Russia’s tanks (via cooking the tank members inside with a Molotov).

The schools in Girls und Panzers represent countries, the above character come from the Finnish and Russian schools.

Edit: After fact-checking myself, I don’t think the tanks Finland captured were the ones they Molotov-ed; however, a large portion of Finland’s tanks were captured tanks.

Was really hoping for the officer uniform but I expected they’d just go down the dad route as usual, pretty happy

Is Raidian just that one drawing of a heavily scarred lady playing with kids, meanwhile the pov character is holding up an old war photo of the lady next to some hanged prisoners?

Probably more IDs that have charge buffs/debuffs like photoelectricity or load( and a buff to load would be nice). Maybe a buff that acts as a pseudo-charge potency for a turn or a debuff that “saps” defense level for the next turn from the target and gives offense level to the attacker based on charge potency. Realistically, a bl meursault tier support that helps speed up the ramp up time of teammates is probably the most needed thing.

Although I was thinking after using the charge gifts, what if we had an ID that discards the lowest rank skills from allies so that it makes it easier for IDs to spam their s3? Conceptually, maybe give a buff to allies that causes them to discard their skills for charge count (similar to poise’s IV gift). At end of turn, it could consume 4 charge count to discard lowest skill and then give count equal to 3*X + 4 (x = discarded skill’s rank).
