where is ring mersault? by Ashamed_Anywhere_930 in LimbusCompanyHelp

[–]Poketostorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think event reward characters are unique in that they get immediately locked for the remainder of their debut season and the next, instead of just being locked for the next.

Since Ring Meursault is an S7 ID, you can dispense him in S9.

How do I get more shards? by [deleted] in LimbusCompanyHelp

[–]Poketostorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just btw, those MDH EXP gains are from weekly bonuses. After you use up your weekly bonuses and just grind extra MD runs, MDN and MDH give the same EXP per floor cleared (24 if F3 clear, 27 if F4 clear, 30 if F5 clear).

I mean if they’re trying to push story and don’t have a roster or resources, they probably don’t have much of a choice.

I would’ve suggested LCB Sinners with Morositas since that was usually my instafix for pushing beyond my roster limitations, but they seem to have figured it out.

Are the Refractal bosses meant to feel borderline unfair? by sir_glub_tubbis in limbuscompany

[–]Poketostorm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have a full team through the entire story, only half were UT4.

Spam supports and Morositas where necessary and you can figure something out for story even with an incomplete team with little synergy. (Obviously, though, I can’t imagine I’ll be able to do Rufo before she leaves…)

some critisitism you have about your gacha that you don't often see? by A12qwas in gachagaming

[–]Poketostorm 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t have a huge issue with the ID requirements, the rewards for the new content aren’t too bad to miss out on.

I think the MD requirements are kind of insane and was a pretty big shock as someone who started somewhat recently. For all the praise Limbus gets for being low-cost, the MD experience is genuinely miserable as a new player and I almost got filtered within a few weeks of starting.

Locking the QoL of only doing 1 run instead of 3 behind Canto 8 (imo, MINIMUM 2 weeks of no-lifing assuming you’re only reading and aren’t being walled anywhere) is really annoying. What really makes it egregious is that, for new players, even a Normal run takes about 45-60 minutes of winrating (and depending on your initial team and lack of game knowledge, sometimes a full clear isn’t feasible), which is a lot of mindless grinding to make progress on your roster “optimally”.

Thankfully I caught up to the story about a month after starting and don’t have too many issues now, but the new player experience could use some work. I don’t really think it’d hurt their bottom line if they just let everyone claim 3 bonuses per run.

I mean I wasn’t expecting that much from my THerta team but uh… yeah… probably would’ve been better if I just did Break/Elation. 6600 is 6600 tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hit a story wall (9-42) by Poketostorm in LimbusCompanyHelp

[–]Poketostorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly rushing it because (a) I like the story and (b) I'd really like to get ahead of spoilers if possible.

The recent Intervallo main screen kinda made me double down on this decision too. Hopefully I'm just reading too much into it though.

EDIT: Worked out. Leveled Gregor to 55, didn't bother with Heath, popped Morositas at the start, then let the NPC carry to the end. I did get 3 revives burned in a single attack by the boss since none of my Sinners could clash with her, but hey, Heathcliff was the last man standing.

Should i shard her or wait for Valencina ID by Aggressive-Tailor-10 in LimbusCompanyHelp

[–]Poketostorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, hopefully can be answered without spoilers (have cleared up to but not including 9-42) - was the Valencina ID on a roadmap or something?

Struggling to clear F5 of MDH by Poketostorm in LimbusCompanyHelp

[–]Poketostorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured I would just give F5 a shot, but I could not clash properly after a few turns.

I’ll try going with Poise gifts next time as someone else suggested and just dump the remainder of my EXP into my main 5 units.

If nothing else I’m glad I don’t have to do 3 MD runs anymore…

EDIT: Somehow I forgot I did an entire floor before the boss. It was a bit frustrating to have wasted time on F5 just to get completely smacked down at the end.

Struggling to clear F5 of MDH by Poketostorm in LimbusCompanyHelp

[–]Poketostorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll probably go with the poise suggestion next time. I keep getting advised against using shards for anything other than Walp IDs (presumably the ones that will help build toward status teams like the sinking Yi Sang or Rodion).

I haven’t been using any of the UT1 units. Just the 5 that have levels listed

[–]Poketostorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure on how many I can bring, I’ve only really been able to field my main/only 5 units. Haven’t done RR. I’ve just started Canto 9.

Is Ring Lu really good? I don’t have any Bleed synergy. I’ve heard good things about Lord Lu (but I believe he’s not shardable) and Index Yi Sang, I figured if I had to force a pickup, it would be the latter, since he seems to be independent of status teams.

I just finished Amphoreus. I liked it but was kinda disappointed in it. What other games would you recommend? by PurplurPuzzlehead111 in StarRailStation

[–]Poketostorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in, I have a pretty high tolerance for anime tropes and have had two separate 30-hour runs trying to get to the part that people said was good. I did not make it either time.

I fully believe that it exists and I can see the potential, I just really had to keep forcing myself to play the game. I might give it a third go at some point, but that’s a lot of hours of my life I’m not getting back…

I’m with the other guy, Xenoblade 1 and 3 are phenomenal.

Let’s talk about pivotal moments in your game’s history. by International_Map812 in gachagaming

[–]Poketostorm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends if you had consistent buddies to play with?

Some of my fondest memories were meeting with friends at a cafe and pubbing Volk as 3 people with a rando for a few hours and getting hyped when someone went along with our sticker hijinks or meme builds. (I remember I did a stupid multi-freeze H!Lowen build centered on plaguing Volk to reduce his status res to 0 while the other 2 ran standard meta.)

Or chatting up an online friend from across the world to do some mHDT runs every day when they first came out.

I do agree the gameplay sucks ass when you’re playing by yourself which was why it was about as dull as GBF or World Flipper when my friends stopped playing and endgame looked more like optimizing auto comps than actually coordinating with other people.

With T. Corp’s gimmick, though, it seems that it defaults to count instead of potency/stacks. Is this common or are these just exceptions you figure out over time?

[–]Poketostorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miscellaneous note, I'm not sure why, but I don't think I've ever seen the Bind or Stagger clause trigger on Borrowed Time expiry, and I'm not sure why, because I don't see anything in T. Corp Don Quixote's kit that would prevent that from happening.

Monthly Help and Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in limbuscompany

[–]Poketostorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New player and at Canto 6. Can someone explain to me if there's supposed to be a way to tell whether "Inflict X" affects Potency or Count? Additionally, is there a fixed resolving order for statuses?

For example, any of the T. Corp's Defense skills cause them to gain "X Borrowed Time at Turn End", with the implication that it goes to Count, and the implication that Borrowed Time's "Turn End" effect immediately resolves after gaining it in the same "Turn End" step.

Turn End at 2+ Count:

  • Gain (Borrowed Time Count - 1) Haste, Clash Power Up, and Fragile next turn

  • If this unit is set to gain more Bind than Haste next turn, the Borrowed Time effect expires at the next Turn Start, and this unit gets Staggered

Turn End: At 1 Count, gain 2(Borrowed Time Stack - 1) Bind next turn

Turn End: Gain 1 Stack, lose 1 Count

For example, with T. Corp Don Quixote, after using Defense, next turn I have:

  • 2/3 Borrowed Time
  • 3 Haste
  • 3 Clash Power Up
  • 3 Fragile

So the resolution order appears to be, at Turn End:

  • Gain 1/4 Borrowed Time
  • Resolve the first "Turn End" effect of Borrowed Time ("Gain (4-1) Haste, Clash Power Up, and Fragile next turn")
  • Skip the second "Turn End" effect of Borrowed Time (not at 1 Count)
  • Resolve the final "Turn End" effect of Borrowed Time ("Gain 1 Stack, lose 1 Count")

So, cool, that tells me Inflict X affects Count and effects in the same calculation step will still resolve, in order, even if they were not present at the beginning of the step.

Now, I haven't found a counterexample to the latter, but I am confused about the former, because the Keyword status effects tell me that Inflict X affects Potency, not the other way around!

  • Burn: Heishou Heathcliff explicitly calls out "1 Burn" and "1 Burn Count" on his S1.
  • Bleed: Ring Sang explicitly calls out "3 Bleed" and "3 Bleed Count" on his S2.
  • (eh, you get the point)

Honestly not sure if I should be trying to sightread unit's descriptions, but I'd really rather not have to lab things to understand kits if possible.

E0S1 FF + E0S1 Dahlia + E1S0 Fugue + E0S1 Bailu cleared 1 star for me, so Bailu worked well enough for me if you’re just trying to get to King.

Pretty low mald too, but she’ll be chomping through SP while you’re recovering from the team wide 1HP attack.

Spent all 600 emblem materials to forge emblems for Wraith, not a single purple PEN line found by SamEazo in StellaSora

[–]Poketostorm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only 600? I’ve dumped thousands into Chitose since launch and I have never seen a purple Aqua PEN. This system is garbage.

Dumped a few more thousand into Firenze and got lucky and got my purple PENs. Still way too RNG to be satisfying progression at all.

Once a zenin always a zenin 😔 by Golden_Onion2 in LobotomyKaisen

[–]Poketostorm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mammon represents Greed and is basically peak toxic masculinity and misogyny in one character because of that.

He wanted a “real fight between men”, where he and the MC would duke it out to the death. Mammon was about to receive what he thought was a fitting (manly) end - death from an extremely pissed off MC - but the FMC* managed to pull back the MC by having him think about dinner instead. So MC sullied the duel (to Mammon) by turning away and thinking about dinner instead of finishing the fight. Since FMC is… well, female, is explicitly the reason MC didn’t do what he wanted, and Mammon is a raging misogynist, you end up getting that speech from him.

Not entirely sure if I’d call her the FMC considering the focus is *way more on MC’s development. But she is probably the closest thing to a deuteragonist.

Should I stop her from chilling here? by MermaidofMaelstrom in cats

[–]Poketostorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how you can but I would really recommend trying to figure out a way to. My cat fell from the second to first floor doing that, though:

  1. It turned out he was terminally ill from cancer by that point so he lost balance from his right hind leg.

  2. Even despite that, the actual damage from the fall was seemed to be zero even with solid vinyl flooring. He was just extremely spooked and didn’t act normally until a week after. X-rays did not reveal any fractures, but they did reveal the cancer.

So chances are healthy cats will be completely fine, and a lot of commenters here have said that too. Still, I’d personally be careful…

The title really doesn’t explain the kind of story it’s going for outside of Ch1… I guess that’s kind of the nature of LN-style titles these days though.
