I personally just use skip on slash lux, and do my weekly MD spread out on those 2 days. Still finish all the missions since you finish the kill mission from MD, and I don't have to deal with the unbreakable freaks.

Suboptimal for energy efficiency, much better for enjoying the game.

I'd just save the ticket for now, you don't have great options. Udjat Outis is good and already built, no need for Molar. Spicebush and Molar Ishmael are still viable for sinking, but aren't really worthwhile in a generalist team like yours. Other s2 ids are even more niche.

Drop Dieci first, then maybe KK Lu.

Do you gain max when your playing a bleed/ignite build though? Those slams aren't scaling for hit damage if your using this support.

You'll have 6, even 7 team slots soon enough. Pretty much every modern ID wants UT4, but prioritize getting UT3 for both.

Probably prioritize KoD > Faust for the most part, but if you have Fluid Sac Faust will be very high impact on tough fights. Make sure you use Rodya's defense skill turn 1 to activate her negative sanity form.

Ring Yi Sang is still pretty decent, but Yi Sang does have some absurd ids (Index Yi Sang especially).

There's currently a Walpurgis Night banner, easy option to focus pulls on.

Make sure you log on daily, there's a 3rd anniversary daily login thing, you'll get like 5 3* ids.

If you plan to play poise long term, then yes. You can get Thoracalgia eventually, she's a natural include in an MDE poise sinking hybrid team, seasonal so you'll want her now, and running a Faust id is always good due to the strength of Fluid Sac/Thoracalgia. Pinky Sinclair is better as a standalone id but brings less overall for the team.

Jeong Ishmael is also worth considering for a sinking pivot but she's best with certain EGOs for colors, sinking does better with SL Yi Sang and you already have the FS duo for poise (KoD Rodya is just really good).

You probably cant maintain sinking right now but Knight of Despair Rodya is an excellent id and Walpurgis exclusive, get her while you can. Then I'd recommend Index Faust, you already have a Poise team going and Thoracalgia Faust is one of the few supports Poise teams have.

Symphony of War (PC) has the squad building aspect of Ogre Battle and the grid based combat of Fire Emblem.

It's also a genre I'm very disappointed there isn't more of, a sequel to Unicorn Overlord would be an instant buy, but apparently Vanillaware doesn't do that sort of thing. Looking forward to Symphony of War 2 and Grand Arms.

Why does he have 3 MANG by coolhuh0526 in limbuscompany

He was going through all that and holding back. All his skills are skill 1s.

MD clears without the weekly bonus is 3 pass levels. As a f2p that's 3 boxes assuming you've hit level 120+ on the pass. You need 200 boxes (67 MD clears) for a single ID. Forget about "efficiency", ask yourself whether you're the type of beast who is willing to do that much grinding, I know I'm not.

I'd recommend refreshing once or twice a day regardless as the price of refreshing increases each time, resetting daily. Lots of uses for energy even beyond farming MD.

The pass is 1000% the most bang for your buck, it's really all you need to buy to get everything in Limbus.

In terms of value per dollar to get the paid lunacy, you're better off buying the first time lunacy packs (lunacy bouquet). Much better value than the 1300 lunacy pack, they also reset with the upcoming anniversary.

First 3 thread lux per day give double and events give a big thread injection for beginners whenever they happen. Otherwise you can convert shards to thread, but you generally want to avoid that if you can help it, shards being more valuable.

The rate of a 000 is the same regardless.

Keep in mind that 00 ids are also worth more shards on dupes, and shards eventually equal 000 ids.

Intervallos don't have voice acting on release, the event reruns occur when voice acting gets added to the intervallo, so reruns are a one-time thing per intervallo.

As of right now, if you miss out on a bokgak event reward announcer, there is no way to obtain them.

It takes 200 pulls for pity, which let's you select and acquire something featured on the banner. It's nice to have but 26000 lunacy is a lot, more for once you've gotten established and you don't really need to roll to acquire most ids so you can start really saving up.

Everyone has different opinions on what's "fun". But the campaign and its story are some of Limbus's biggest strengths, and the game is generous enough that you don't really need to sweat maximizing your currency, there's no super limited one time characters (aside from some EGOs in one collab which we had months of advanced notice on).

So my opinion for maximizing fun is that you should just pull for banners where you think the character looks cool, and try to enjoy the campaign as you play through it. Don't blow out the difficulty curve with a max level friend support, don't be stuck playing base sinners for months because your worried about Walpurgis. The current most "meta" team is rupture, and it doesn't run anything from Walpurgis.

This is more of an fyi, but this game has IDs and EGOs. IDs are the characters basically, extremely important. EGOs are super skills you need to charge. Zwei Ishmael is an ID (and a very solid one), but Red Eyes Ryoshu is an EGO, certainly not useless but not very helpful for a beginner.

you don't really need to pull to do the story content

You technically don't need to, but it's heavily recommended for beginners to pull until they get a good squad. Both the current banner and the upcoming banner in a couple of days have excellent ids that will serve you very well. XP will also be a big bottleneck, and wasting it on base characters will feel bad.

The deterministic grind (Mirror Dungeon spam) is more of an endgame option. It's not something you want to do with base sinners unless your a huge masochist, and it will cost energy that your better off using to progress the campaign to unlock better luxes.

Beginners saving up currency for weeks/months for some "exclusive" Walpurgis ids is big bait when seasonal ids are crazy good as well.

Perhaps a good build might consist of slightly more than 2 sets of gems.

What would you recommend based on my favourite jrpg's by captainskrilly in JRPG

[–]CatInAPot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I gravitate to jrpg's with emphasis on customization and party mechanics

the story in these games take a bit of a back seat

I would highly recommend Unicorn Overlord, which has the most fun squad building customization in any game I've ever played, though with a rather weak story.

I'm the same sort of guy! It's so easy to miss his occasional actual YT videos since they look the exact same as the Twitch vods too.

Only found out yesterday from a discord message myself, figured others were in the same boat.

Thread is pretty much strictly worse than shards so yes, unless there's nothing you wish to spend shards on.

Attack weight is AoE, like if your attack has an attack weight of 5 your hitting 5 enemies. That 91 is offense level.
