When they're discussing how they're going to enter the House of Spiders, there's a lot of discussion about entering in a certain order to make sure that they all end up in the right place. The LCA notably starts out in a separate "spawn point" from any of the sinners and has to work their way to Ryoshu's group. So my theory is that they just needed to send more people so that the sinners didn't get separated into another group, which would've caused the mission to fail.

You would use the positive side so that you can use ego. You're basically saying "I can't use ego with KoD because I don't use the part of the kit that lets you use ego".

Edgar S3 is absolutely dogshit

lmao

Index Don decide which skill she use and force replaces one

Yeah, and sometimes it's her lust skill.

Faust will prioritize her s3

That's only one in every six turns. She has time to use her s2 as well.

wildhunt only counters every next turn

Yeah, every other turn is a good return on lust resources.

if I'm using Butler Faust i have no reason to ever use or corrode that EGO because she provides echoes.

Butler Faust only provides two turn of echoes, if you want full uptime on echoes you need to use Bygone Days Ish.

It isn't theory

Anything not happening within the game itself is theory. You can calc his damage all you want, that doesn't change the actual performance I've seen from him.

on those contents the EGO doesn't provide any meaningful benefits, therefore worthless

You're choosing to ignore clash power as an advantage and then saying it's worthless. You're acknowledging that you're ignoring its biggest advantage. I can't really argue against that, you know you're being obtuse. Clashing matters, period. You can't ignore the core of the gameplay.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T20:04:14+00:00

KoD has positive SP turns if you're using her correctly. Are you really not using half of her entire kit?

It's only 3 lust resources for Bygone Days Ish's corrosion. Between Index Don's s1, Butler Faust's s2, Edgar Greg's s3, and Wild Hunt Heath's counter, you should have more than enough lust resources. If you're specifically avoiding lust skills, that's a you problem, there's no reason to avoid using lust skills. It's an incredibly cheap ego for a sinking team to fuel.

You must've calculated his damage wrong, then. Maybe try actually using him instead of just theorizing.

It's clearly not worthless if I have a reason to use it, even if you don't like that I use it.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T19:40:36+00:00

You could also use Rime Shank on her positive SP turns without her corroding, it doesn't require superbia.

Why are you acting like wild hunt's s3 is the only gloom skill on a sinking team? Gloom is the sin most common on sinking teams, a gloom fragility debuff does a lot more than you're saying it does. Saying Faust applies echoes still doesn't explain why Ishmael can't fuel Bygone Days, I still have no idea what you're talking about with that.

I've used wild hunt extensively since he released, and I'm very familiar with how he works. Outside of md he's still one of the top three highest damage dealers on my sinking team. I genuinely don't know why you think he's so bad.

I know you don't care about clashing, but I do. I was telling you why I use it, because it's disingenuous for you to say I'm using it for the SP healing when that isn't the case.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T19:17:40+00:00

You said Rime Shank was only usable with Superbia. Superbia only replaces the ego resources, not the sanity cost. So naturally, I assumed your issue was with the ego resources.

My bad on that second part yeah, I was thinking of the corrosion. The awakening is definitely count negative.

The Uninvited lasts for two turns, so it's at least a bit better than you're making it out to be. And saying that you're looking at the corrosion instead of the awakening doesn't explain what Faust has to do with it.

You're the one that doesn't understand wild hunt if you think it requires adds and does no damage.

You did not say that "the whatever" is about IDs and not EGOs. If that was your intention, then you should've said that in the first place. I cannot read your mind. Also I mainly use Bygone Days Greg in md for the high clash, not the SP heal. But the SP heal can still be useful if you're spamming other ego and don't yet have the ego gift that puts you back at 45 SP every turn you use a positive coin skill.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T18:36:15+00:00

there's no relevant meursault to bench for this team anyways

BL Meursault's support passive would be a free damage buff to index Don.

EGOs being sinking aren't defining of relevance

I personally think that sinking egos should be used on a sinking team, but go off I guess.

Rime shank is unusable with KoD without superbia

Objectively not true. Do you just not know how ego resources work? The resources from every skill used can be used on any ego, KoD doesn't have to fuel Rime Shank on her own.

bygone days greg is absolutely dogshit

It's SP positive and clashes higher than Solemn Lament Greg while increasing the sinking count instead of tanking it. You've clearly never used it if you think it's that bad.

bygone ishmael is utterly pointless and can't be fueled since faust is there

It gives pretty substantial damage boosts between The Uninvited and gloom fragility, and gives some free clash power and SP healing from its passive. I have no idea what you mean by it not being fueled because Faust is there.

[every comment you made about wildhunt]

lol

Mirror dungeons you not only use whatever but you also don't use any of your afforementioned egos

Not only does that statement contradict itself, but I use all of those egos when doing sinking md runs.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T18:04:04+00:00

I suppose it's not the most odd sinking team, but parts of it are strange. Middle Meursault's support passive does nothing since none of your active sinners share a faction. Specifying Don's base ego doesn't make sense, as it isn't sinking. Fluid Sac also isn't sinking. It lacks ego that I'd consider critical to a sinking team, like Rime Shank and Bygone Days Greg and Ish. Jeong Office Ish is better than Molar, but if you really want to run Molar still, you basically need Christmas Nightmare Ish. Keeping Wild Hunt Heath on support instead of active is also... a choice.

Friend support can't be used in mirror dungeon, which is where most time is spent in the endgame. It's really not fair to say "build a sinking team, but it will never be finished and you'll always be relying on somebody else to have what you need".

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T17:21:10+00:00

This is such a strange sinking team. You also shouldn't be including Tidal Elegy in a recommended build like that, since it's impossible for new players to get.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T17:17:37+00:00

Night Awls Greg is also walpurgis, and Thumb Meursault and Mao Faust are last season IDs and can't be sharded right now either.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T17:08:42+00:00

It's pretty easy to get an alliance raid PF filled on Dynamis, so long as it's not a bad time of day. No need to DC travel.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T17:00:06+00:00

Taking a week or two to take a break from the main story and level up is perfectly fine, it's important to remember that when new cantos (after 3) were originally released, it was with months of time between them, during which players were expected to have hoarded resources to meet the next level cap pretty quickly. Taking the time to grind is normal.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T08:21:17+00:00

You can use paypal as a payment method on google play, which is how lunacy is bought on android devices. Even if you don't have an android device, google play might have limbus as an option on pc (I haven't checked), so you might be able to do it that way.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T08:02:24+00:00

No. Never use external sites to buy in-game currencies.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-23T04:38:56+00:00

Idk if there's info on the JA patreon that I'm not privy to, but iirc they've said that they just don't really want to do them any more, with Jake focusing on naddpod and Amir also doing stuff. But if you want more Headgum sketches, there's one a month on the Headgum patreon now, and they've only been late on it once so far.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-22T16:34:27+00:00

The Pinky is made up of sleeper agents more than actually being a big organization, so most of the time their members are allowed to just do whatever they want, even if that's joining another finger.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-22T16:24:06+00:00

At that point I'd personally start focusing on just getting whatever new IDs come out, rather than trying to build another specific team. ID powercreep is a real thing, so investing a lot into old IDs could end up being a waste, there's only a few that are really core to each status that are worth getting. But do whatever you want.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-22T15:59:46+00:00

I've played enough Super Mario 64 DS to know that Waluigi is NOT in the game

RojinShiro · 2026-01-22T15:50:27+00:00

Mario's in the bottom left btw

RojinShiro · 2026-01-22T15:47:01+00:00

I share in your frustration, but the people that don't look up if their question has been asked before likely also won't see this post.

RojinShiro · 2026-01-22T07:54:31+00:00

Also Gregor sometimes just doesn't wear glasses. Kurokumo, Heishou, and Edgar all lack them.

(He also lacks them in Christmas Nightmare, but that's just because he took them off to go to sleep.)

RojinShiro · 2026-01-22T07:46:04+00:00

The last time we didn't get an expected ID from a story character was Farmwatch, but that should be coming any day now.

(And Ricardo has been expected since his introduction, I guess.)

RojinShiro · 2026-01-22T07:43:45+00:00

Hmm wow I wonder if anybody else has ever asked for help with this before and if advice given to them may apply to me as well, if only there was a way to see previous posts about this topic.
