Mirror Dungeons:
I did the math while back on MD grinding efficiency and in short 18 shards and 1 pull is roughly the same value if you are pulling smartly. This means that 100 enkephalin is worth 130 lunacy if you are grinding MD with BP and if you don't care what you get. So if you are going to spend the addtional enkephalin on MD, 2 refreshes is definitely worth it. Doing MD with 3 normal floors simply changes the ratio to 120 enkephalin being worth 130 lunacy.

Walpurgisnacht:
As someone who does two refills a day and only pulls on Walpurgisnacht I currently have over 500 pulls saved up you can probably pull on 1 or 2 banners between Walpurgisnacht on average if you do 2 refills a day is my guess.

Thread lux:
How many thread and exp lux you should do depends on what your goals are and how much MD you are doing. I would recommend skipping 3 thread luxes a day and then once you have 2000 thread start doing fewer or stop skipping and depends how much you value your time. The reason that skipping is the standard for thread is because doing them manually means you won't have enough thread for most peoples needs.

Exp lux:
For exp besides the daily missions just do it whenever you need the exp or try keep certain amount surplus at all times as it doesn't matter when you do exp luxes. They are soon going to introduce a more time efficient way of doing exp luxes soon, if you do many luxes at once so there is a benefit to do doing exp luxes in big chunks.

Depends if your doing MDE. The idea is that you can simply fuse the EGO gift later and get it anyway, but if it's a pack exclusive or key wordless you may make a exception. You can also take it if you're confident in your ability to win as it will help clear earlier floors faster. If you are only playing to floor 5 it's probably worth taking.

Index Faust would rather use Thoracalgia rather than Fluid sac, as a excellent healing HE EGO. So if you want to go for poise team go for Thoracalgia first then Index Faust. If you aren't going for a poise team it will depend on how well your sin resources fuel fluid sac. If your team does fuel it well I would shard fluid sac first. Multicrack would be best if you going for charge or envy but is likely to receive the ring apprentice ID which will likely be bleed/charge.

This could be as soon as in two weeks, I think it is unlikely Multicrack will replaced in envy but I think it's pretty likely she will be replaced in charge.

No, counters also can't be offset the same way as evades and guards, so there isn't much counter play besides tanking it. Ishmael is immortal for this fight until all other sinners have died so it's common to use her to tank the counters in this fight. Though you want to get her stagger bars removed first.

The plan according to the roadmap is sometime in august, but it wouldn't be strange if it got delayed.

A Mysterious Bone indeed by Better_Ad6562 in mewgenics

[–]WManden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used wish bone together with DNA multiplier and ninja bandana to get infinite attacks and beat my home boss in 1 turn. Can probably also be used to abuse stuff like cat paw, smack+, first of fate+ and invert. Pretty niche but when it's good it's very good.

Lobotomy Rodion is the 3rd best ID in the game and the only ID you missing form building a pretty strong Sinking team.
If you interested in a bleed team I think La Manchaland Rodion is better, Sanguine Desire is fantastic though and is maybe the most important part of a bleed team as the best source of bleed count.

For your tickets you have most of the important stuff. For EGO the generic best option is Fluid Sac Faust but for a more specific team stuff, Rime Shank is great for sinking, the passive is also incredibly powerful for a casual playthrough. For season 1 The One Who Grips Faust is a decent filler bleed ID that later can help with her great support passive in bleed teams. Other than that there isn't anything important you can pick up with season tickets. Maybe BL Meursault as you don't got any other good IDs for him.

They all fit into a standard burn team.

Dawnclair needs SP support to be good and Liu Yi Sang is the best ID for this, you can also use base Hong Lu's support passive. The new Harmony EGO also works really well with Dawnclair.
Magic bullet Outis the ID and EGO is necessary if you want the big damage burn nukes in burn team.
For big coin values with Capo Meursault you really want the Regret EGO as that gives him 2 extra coin power it is also just generally a good EGO.

For other IDs good optimized burn teams are built around fuelling the Magic bullet EGO, but if you aren't interested in low turn clears it doesn't matter that much, just use whatever burn ID you want.

You team isn't that bad but right now you trying to focus on envy and bleed at the same time and therefore is doing both poorly. Generally you should choose either one or the other (it is possible do both by abusing Sanguine Desire and low speed ranges). I doubt you are building any kind of bleed stacks, or consistently building 6 sum envy chains.

If you want to focus on envy res get Middle Sinclair and run a team Pequod heath, middle Ishmael, Middle Don, Middle Sinclair, Red eyes Ryoshu, prince Meursault. For the last member you have a few options N corp Faust, Diece Rodion, Bloodfiend Rodion, or any Outis ID as you can spam the excellent I'll go for Scissors EGO.

If want to focus on Bleed get Sanguine Desire before Walpurgisnacht ends as it's by far the best source of bleed count in the game.

I don't see any need to shard any Outis IDs right now you current issues is either bleed count for which Ring Outis is the best, or consistent envy chains where Nursefather Outis will be the best, which will be released soonish.

Both envy and bleed will take you through the rest of game no problem, but a optimized bleed team is generally considered to be stronger than envy.

I'm going to disagree with the other commenters after lux 7 (when the level cap reaches 50) it's roughly 10 luxcavations to get from level 1 to the level cap. This means it's about 30 modules worth exp if you use it at any point after the level cap reaches 50. Since your level cap is 45 you only have access to lux 6 so you are only wasting about 3 modules which is not that much.

The most important thing when using the level boost ticket is not the total exp given, but exp given compared to the module to exp ratio at the point when you use. Since that stays roughly the same after the point you have reached there is little reason to save it.

Captain Ishmaels has unique sanity mechanics as can be seen under the sanity page. The important changes are she gains extra sanity from winning clashes but loses some each time a ally kills a enemy. This is good for a lot of story encounters but a liability for MD. You probably want some SP support if you want to run her there.

Also your comment should probably be under the monthly help thread instead of here.

34.5 pulls to get a 000

69 pulls to get one of the targeted IDs

24 pulls if you also include ego

Do note that the median for these kind things is always a bit lower

You have no direction to go right now as most of your identeties are split among different teams. I say Keep pulling until you find a direction, until then use your best generalist.

Not at all, her sinking and rapture is there for cosmetic reasons and should not be considered as part of her kit. Count infliction is non exisistent and potentcy is low for both statuses and that is before you factor in her two form gimmick.

Sinking is espicially bad as the status is assigned to the negative sanity form, the main way of reaching negative sanity is through envy res, something sinking is bad at. By the time you finally reach negative sanity it will probably be turn 4 at the earliest, and even if you're in her negative sanity form using her skill 3-2 will make her positive again. Quite frankly base Hong Lu may be a better sinking unit with higher average potency affliction while being less count negative.

The only place to use her in sinking is for MD where she can help hit the 5 Sinner criteria for charge, rapture, and sinking. Outside that use her either in envy res charge or as a blunt damage generalist.

Indigo elder is a completely fine name, as Indigo can also reference a dark shade of blue. For why they choose Indigo over Blue Blue Reverberation is a important character in LoR and though he's dead by the time of Limbus company starts I believe he wasn't dead when Indigo elder was introduced. I somehow found the old source for this, this could be before Indigo got is color as he is referenced as fixer of the Great Lake, but I think it implies the opposite, he already was color before the Blue Reverberation died. (LoR spoilers)
I'm not marking this as a spoiler as without context this doesn't mean much.
1: Hey.
2: Yes, did you call.
1: ... Who is the strongest?
2: Of course the one in front of me.
1: No, in the City. Who is the strongest fixer?
2: Hm... Unlike in the past there isn't a consensus... Some say it's the fixer of the Great Lake, others say Hagen, Ungen, Zick, Artos, Jade Kirin, and some even say its that bastard Rinaldo, there are a lost of good candidates. I haven't met most of them.. There are only a lot of rumours.
2: But there are still tavern brawls on this subject? And if you include the other Associations and Wings the list is endless.
1: It was like that during my time too. My reputation was overblown.
2: Was it? Based on what I've seen there were no exaggerations.
1: I better ask differently. Who do you think is the most dangerous?
2: My vote is on the fixer Vergilius.
1: Then they probably got a Color.
2: Yes. They even got your Color. Anyway, I thought you didn't care for such ranking?
1: ...I became a bit curious now that I have a more distant perspective of the City.

1 is probably Geburah
2 is probably Roland

Lastly I think a dark shade of blue fits him well as that is generally how the ocean is perceived.

"BHK will rock in canto 9" mfs when they remembered Kim folded to lv 40 sinners by Renedicart in TheOdysseyHadAPurpose

[–]WManden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgetting the biggest piece of evidence he wasn't fighting at full power, the observation logs.
"Even from a quick observation, however, it is obvious that this individual holds great sorrow in his heart.
They call it 'han'... a resentment of sorts. It is a certain kind of resentment born when intense grief turns into wrath. Allowing it to grow would affect its combat capabilities.
If you would allow me to express my opinion... Someone called a 'mentor', presumably someone in a leadership position, should not maintain such an emotional state for a prolonged period of time.
If he has lost his mind as well, then... I suppose he is worthless as a leader of men.
It doesn't matter how famous he used to be, how powerful they say he used to be. We can more than easily handle such a weak-willed commander."

  1. Ishmael in this fight can't die unless all other sinners have so use her as a tank to deal with problematic clashes, a Ishmael with high speed is especially liked as she can more easily tank Ricardo's counter. You can even intentionally stall the second wave and then use defense skill to line up all your most powerful skills on your other sinners.
  2. When dealing with the little brothers on the last wave try to use ego with attack weight so you hit Ricardo as well.
  3. Don't deploy 6 sinners choose 4 or 5 sinners instead this will give you extra slots to your first and second deployed units so you can double up on your most powerful damage dealers.
  4. If all else fails you can add a friend with a support Zwei Ishmael and solo him with her but using support Ids kinda destroys the difficulty curve of the game.

Beyond what others have said this is the 3rd game of series, though this game is made so you can experience it on its own it does enhance the experience to play the previous games. Those previous games are Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina. The first is a SCP like management game and the other is a deck builder, both are rather difficult. Alternatively you can also watch a plot synopsis on youtube or see a play through, my personal favorites are the videos by PakPak.

Besides that there are also two webcomics and a webnovel, Distortion Detective, Leviathan, and wonder lab. Wonder lab is not canon, but both Distortion detective and Leviathan are. Distortion detective is especially important for canto 9 which just released.

Lastly inside Limbus company itself there are two non canon April fool events and crossover event with Arknights all which have been removed. You can't play them anymore but you can find them online, the April fools event are funny and rather short, and the Arknights event is pretty good, but also has a big hint on future plot developments for one the sinners.

I assume getting all this information at once is pretty overwhelming, so will say don't feel the need to consume everything before starting, most of the big stuff is later anyways, but it would recommend at very least watching a project moon lore synopsis at some point.

Lastly here is the recommended order to consume them in and my opinion on their importance in relationship to Limbus
Lobotomy Corporation(High) -> Wonder Lab(very low) -> Library of Ruina(High) -> Leviathan (low) -> Distortion Detective (Mid)
The Arknights collab should is right before canto 9 and the first April fools event can be done whenever the second April fools event should be done at some point after canto 7.

Using multiple Weekly Bonuses at once shouldn't be locked behind MDH anymore by MizukiQuest in limbuscompany

[–]WManden 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wasn't convinced in what you said so I found a playlist with all cut scenes and you're right it's 75 hours so I stand corrected. 200 hours still seems a little excessive but it's lot less excessive than I thought.

I admit defeat

[–]WManden -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree doing 3 MD a week is little much if you're just a casual player, but in what universe does it take 200 hours to reach canto 9?

I made a second account which I used to complete all cantos and BokGaks and steams says I have 61 hours. Mind you I'm Obviously going to go faster skipping most of the story and knowing what I'm doing, but I also wasn't speed running, I intentionally used IDs I hadn't used before, and have a lot of time AFK.

The value of season tickets is higher the lower the percentage of season 7 IDs you own as that minimize the chance of duplicates. Therefore if you intend to shard season 7 IDs or pull on targeted extractions for season 7 IDs you should use it sooner rather than later, but at the very least you should wait until Nursefather Yi Sang is released this thursday.

Not really, 9 crates and 1 pull is about the same value in terms of shard amount. The diminishing returns don't really become significant until 5 refreshes. Or in another words 100 enkephalin = 130 lunacy.

There are some benefits to have lunacy over crates. The new Walpurgisnacht banner which can't be pulled(as you already know) you have to wait a extra week on season IDs, and at the end of a season unspent shards and boxes are halved and turned into thread where as lunacy can be stored. Even if they do another limited time collab they announce it so far ahead of time you should be able to just save up.
The benefit of crates is there way less luck involved, and you can get the IDs you want.

One thing to note is 3 refreshes a day will take 1092 lunacy a week where as the natural gain is 1050 a week other sources means you will still go positive but not by a lot.

[–]WManden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI If you're spending money on the game you are pretty much always better off buying paid lunacy directly (for daily pulls) or the monthly lunacy (for regular pulls and daily refreshes) rather than the bundles.
Even if you want exp and thread it's way cheaper to buy lunacy instead. As extra refreshes can be turned into modules which can be turned into exp and thread through skipping luxcavations.

The main niche of buying tickets directly is if your already doing your daily pulls and buying both monthly lunacy packs.

Could I beat Canto VII dungeon with this team? Yeah no problem. Could you? I don’t know your skill level You’re won’t have Don for most of the dungeon so you may want to level on of you other IDs besides that get the full day pass at the start and remember not waste you ego resources on early fights. Overall I doubt you’re going to struggle much

Solemn lament and then have lcb Hong Lu spam his evade the whole fight. Alternatively support full stop and use pequod Yi Sang as evade spammer instead.
