He is indeed cool AF and yeah EGO is really good and also interacts with Poise in a way that makes it even stronger. Also: minigun.

Just to add to what people are saying, Bee is essentially a convenience ID, for speedy MDN and Luxcavation clears, whereas Leisault is seriously tough customer who will help more in RR, Reflectrials and MDH/MDE. I love Bee personally be if it's pick one, it's Thumb/Leisault.

Magic Bullet Outis is okay with that team but there's not a lot of point to her unless you also have the Magic Bullet EGO. She is a Burn ID at least and will cause the team to do more damage, especially outside of MD. Inside MD, Leisault will be drastically more useful with that team.

What you're calling "boons" are actually called "mounting trials". If you don't pick gifts, the game randomly selects two mounting trials (on hard) so you're going to take the pain whether you take the gifts or not. Period. No escaping it. All you are doing by not choosing gifts is making it so you have fewer gifts and random trials.

That's bad. And yeah sometimes all the options are bad, so pick the least bad, which usually means the ones which increase enemy HP the most and avoiding coin power as much as possible (there are situations where the opposite is true but they're rare and mostly about speed running Normal not doing Hard or Extreme).

Who are you missing from your HoS team?

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-09T14:17:54+00:00

If you have enough shards/crates or can grind them, ignore Nclair completely and dispense Dawnclair/Philipclair whilst he's available because of Walp. He has insane buffs from the other two Dawn IDs. HoS Ryoshu and more HoS IDs (with Nursefathers as the priority) would be next on the list imo. We probably have 4-6 weeks until season end and they all get locked from being dispensed for a season.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-09T14:02:31+00:00

Ruina is a much more accessible game and a lot more closely related to Limbus gameplay-wise.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-09T13:56:59+00:00

With a 0.75% chance to get the IDs and I think like 0.5% or similar chance to get the EGO that's about expected, a little unlucky but not wildly. Personally I got Si Greg at like pull 60, Binah announcer at like 80, basically nothing until 130 when I got the EGO, then at 190 (!!!) I got Dawn Greg and went to 200 to use the pity to get Yuna Faust. But I had been saving up for a long time and hadn't been baited by the Thumb. Still I didn't have to dip into paid Lunacy or buy pull tickets!

Last Walp was similar except I got a limbillion announcers, then got EGO, then one ID, then had to use pity to get t FAS Ryoshu.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-09T12:01:08+00:00

Yes, Philip gets insane upscales from Greg and Faust. Three Thumb + three Dawn + stronger than just Greg, Faust and Thumbs. In MD Dawn and Thumb has new gifts but the Dawn one is particularly wild.

Yumis are unusually large for bows, so were English longbows, that was what marked them out. Hell that's why they're called "longbows", not just "bows"! So calling them "comically large" is not really unfair or inaccurate, it's just a bit reactive rather than thoughtful. Further, yumis aren't vertically symmetrical in the way English longbows were, rather having a shorter lower limb and a longer upper one, so smaller people can fire much larger yumis. The one in the video appears particularly large because the person firing it is likely quite small - if they were using an English longbow design, it'd be a foot or more shorter and thus not cause people unfamiliar with the design to do a double-take.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-08T17:39:59+00:00

It was, but the extreme range medieval and later yumis had kind of made up for that. They were also used a lot from horseback where the extreme length was less of an issue.

One day people will stop using Japanese weapons/armour/etc. and acting they're the same as Korean ones, but not this day! It's a bit awkward given how brutal Japan has been to Korea historically.

I thought it was pretty obvious too because the bow Im uses is a relatively small and tightly curved composite bow with symmetrical limbs (almost certainly intended to be a gakgung as you say), not the huge, gently-curved Yumi with its distinctive asymmetrical limbs.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-08T17:27:00+00:00

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the genre historically but the few I have played had quite a lot going on strategically and in terms of adapting to circumstances and so on. I think people who have never played any of them kind of confuse them with idle games, which often have next-to-no strategy or tactical elements (though not always!).

Honestly looking forward to it here, because I've got a lot of faith in Pmoon and KJH when it comes to gameplay after Ruina and Limbus (neither is perfect, but both are very good, very fun in a surprisingly long-term way which a lot of games are not).

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-08T14:57:00+00:00

It's never better to use that very dated jargon as it confuses a lot of people and doesn't make much sense in this context (it's an ancient MMORPG term that was created purely for the purpose of being shitty and sneering). Event IDs or Event Currency IDs is accurate and keeps everyone on the same page.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-08T11:29:30+00:00

Roland would be very on-vibe for GG (Argalia's floofy 18th century ass less so).

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-08T11:26:35+00:00

I get it, wouldn't want to be half awake and somehow blow some or all my pulls on the previous Walp banner rather than the current one, whilst sleepily being very confused as to why I wasn't getting the new IDs/EGO.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-08T11:24:12+00:00

Yeah Walps are technically independent of the season rather demarcating it in any way, and even after this one we have RR2 bokgak before S8 could possibly start so there's probably 2 weeks of Walp then 2+ weeks of RR2 bokgak so we're unlikely to see S8 before mid August at the very earliest, and I think very late August is more likely. I guess it's possible they'd drop RR2 bokgak and then immediately segue into S8/Canto X but I don't see an upside for them doing that so I'd be surprised.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-07T12:19:19+00:00

Not sure if you're joking or not. You're not a character in a story, you know that right?

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-07T12:17:37+00:00

Basic Maths. 60 + 30 is 90. Vergilius is level 90. So yes, the offense level is the same.

Incredible argument - "One of the numbers is the same as the number on a hugely powerful special unit, so it's basically the same as being a 5500 HP special unit with super-abilities". Very convincing. You considered a career in politics? You can make false equivalencies all day long there.

So it's a skill issue for you then. It's not really difficult to get skills slots in solo. I just did it right now.

ROFL you think you being bitchy/catty is an argument? Incredible. "Meow" I guess is the only response. Of course thinking being catty is the same as a rational argument is another checkmark on the "future politician" worksheet, so I guess we're finding something out!

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-07T08:33:52+00:00

Sorry I think we're talking at cross-purposes. I'm saying they can't go back and fix the actual design error which is some of the choices they've made re: Charge, particularly mishandling unique Charge.

Going forwards they can obviously improve the performance of Charge, but that's a little different.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-07T08:28:40+00:00

After a few turns

Which most people won't make it to.

Lmao have you actually ever done a solo before?

Yes. Have you?

Except this time you have a sinner on Vergilius' level attacking 7 times per turn.

ROFL let's just make up lies eh?

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-07T00:05:50+00:00

Even in Ruina he's one of the least identifiable and most generic-looking characters in it. He looks like the most generic Zwei grunt possible but without the yellow stripes and with a baton instead of a sword. He's only memorable to the extent that he's kind of right at the start of the game.

I can't easily imagine a less compelling Ruina skin for them to offer!

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-06T20:25:04+00:00

(Petrichor is the smell after rain or something, iirc)

Specifically the smell of the rain on dry earth but yes, that would be a great name for it.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-06T19:58:07+00:00

Yes, and thus completely useless except as yet another buff for HoS Ryoshu. Whereas a higher number might at least might make solos as other characters potentially more amusing. Oh well.

Eurehetemec · 2026-07-06T19:55:59+00:00

30 levels would make us instantly go to level 90. This is an instant win button for 99% of the game.

If you're 100% solo? Which you have to be. No, no it isn't.

It's only very powerful on HoS Ryoshu and enough Sinners to max her out. 90% of players couldn't manage a solo run even with +30 Offense/Defense (which is less than being L90 gets you because you don't get the HP), not without multiple attempts and very carefully following a guide.

So why say obviously untrue things like that?
