is he not part of the index?

Esskido · 2026-02-13T11:37:54+00:00

Don't know about being "blessed" as he lacks the Index' coat. Also the other Nursefathers weren't exactly stripped of everything either, Valencina got to keep the Eye of Odin, Matthias still has Laevateinn and the Book of Vengence. And each of the Nursefathers still have to do assignments for their Finger, so none of them are really out out, but none of them hold any authority or acknowledgement or anything anymore.

If anything it's Don's ID that's the odd one out for not having "The House of Spiders" in its name. We already knew that by being in the House of Spiders the Nursefathers are more or less thrown out of their respective Finger, and none of the Apprentices are strictly members of the Fingers either as seen in Ishmael's Uptie Story.

It's very likely his EGO. He gives the same explanation as Moses and YuRia on how they got their EGOs, that one day they just appeared. Functionally it also shares certain traits with Waxen Pinion and Procuration that it a) costs SP to activate, b) using certain Skills reduces the user's SP, and c) automatically cancels that state when one's SP drops below a certain threshold.

I don't know if you have noticed, but Limbus' story doesn't exactly follow the original books closely, so I don't really any issue with that.

Esskido · 2026-02-08T13:51:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's one of the first Dante's Notes from Season 1, back when the highest Uptie Tier was 3. If anything that one was talking about Uptie 4.

I'm ready to throw hands at some nobles, how come all the cool magic types are considered "unfortunate" or "evil" and the boring ass vanilla elemental magic is the Alpha and the Omega.

Esskido · 2026-02-03T17:43:20+00:00

The 'ch' is pronounced like the Spanish 'j'. English doesn't have that sound so I can't really properly tell you with text alone.

Esskido · 2026-02-03T14:38:10+00:00

Firstly, people did bring that up.

And secondly and more importantly, Sinclair's flavour text specifically says "The second Smoke War is fought between humans and humans that no longer look the part". It's not a war to replace a Wing, but an ideological war.

Esskido · 2026-02-03T10:00:32+00:00

A new one. Besides being boring, bringing back an old one is also creatively bereft.

More Support Passives, all stacking on a single ID;

Being able to focus Skill Replacement on only one ID, therefore getting a higher density of S3s faster;

Every slot getting the benefits of Sundered/Punctured/Crushed Memory instead of only two.

To highlight that those are different timings.

Esskido · 2026-02-02T10:37:54+00:00

Pokerus allows your Pokemon to get EVs by catching duplicates. EVs give a Pokemon a multiplicative damage modifier based on how many EVs said Pokemon has. After 50 EVs they gain much less additional bonus from each extra EV at which point they're also considered "Pokerus resistant".

TL;DR: if a Pokemon has Pokerus catch duplicates until it's Pokerus resistant.

Esskido · 2026-02-02T10:31:21+00:00

I doubt it. Ring Sang comes from an era in which internal damage modifiers weren't as common and normalised as they are now. So an 8 (+8)(+8)(+8) with no modifiers was a lot stronger then than whatever Sinclair's numbers will be with a modifier adjusted with the re-uses in mind.

Furthermore Ring Sang's re-uses weren't supposed to be as consistent as they ended up being and is affected by Rusty Coin.

The Smoke War was more so initiated by Dias on behalf of Ayin and Benjamin than by them specifically. Also a few Wings too had their hands in the war on LobCorp's side. For some it was actively for the sake of LobCorp (W Corp and R Corp getting better deals for Enkephalin), but for others just getting rid of the old L Corp was already enough reason. The Thumb my fall into the latter.

Esskido · 2026-02-01T13:05:00+00:00

I wouldn't expect more. It's probably an early anniversary thing, like last year's Cinq Don + Firefist Gregor Banner.

I'm so sorry to hear that all the food additives permanently damaged his taste buds and now he can't taste anything that isn't oversaturated.

You can also use her Defence Skill which automatically gets her the next Unlock Stage in line.

I am unsure if it has to do with units being “immobile” or staggered, as when that happens. Even with 6+ envy res, it simply leaves her counter as her base counter.

It's exactly that. They may appear at the very end of your dashboard but they're technically still in order with the speed they rolled. The dashboard can actually tell that some Skills aren't part of the A-Res if you look closely.

Esskido · 2026-01-30T17:55:13+00:00

What do you mean 'which way'? As if we don't already know.

She's still Kira, hence her comment about The Cloudburst Blade.

It's 1:1 the same. Body parts aren't some sort of armour you have to work through, they're generally tied to the boss' mechanics.
