Limbus Company Gameplay Thread

Surely this means Shi Ryoshu 3 000 right guys?

right guys?

I think I’ve progressed enough to make a mirror dungeon team for every status effect, just to farm starlight most efficiently and to ease my mind. Just gonna post them here because I spent an hour+ just planning out how to get 6 functional teams with no repeated identities and fully optimized support passives and then type it out in a notepad. Maybe you’ll find these useful? Probably just for choosing the support identities, though you probably don’t have the exact same id’s I have.

Notes
  • Note that half of these are unfinished so I’ll also give recs on what would be ideal :mirror:

  • Also nothing on egos because there isn’t as much of them and choosing them is more obvious, but I’ll mention them in comments

  • These teams are for dungeon but probably also work outside of it, the “My Team:” is what I choose for dungeon

  • If the supports look weird that’s probably because the sinner already has another identity that does it’s job better, so I had to fit in into another team as a dud. Also not all of my support choices are the most optimal, but I tried to make them very optimal.

  • If you are broke and can only get 5 lads for a team then consider double slotting someone by having an empty spot in a focused encounter, it’s sometimes more viable anyways


Burn

Yi Sang: LCB Sinner
Faust: Zwei Assoc.
Don: Shi Assoc.
Ryoshu: Liu Assoc.
Meursault: Liu Assoc.
Hong Lu: Liu Assoc.
~
Heathcliff: Shi Assoc.
Ishmael: Shi Assoc.
Rodion: LCCB Assistant
Sinclair: Dawn Office Fixer
Outis: Magic Bullet
Gregor: Liu Assoc.

My Team: Everything on the right side of the menu (All the lius and walpurgis, probably remove Hong Lu for his passive and double slot someone or use a random)

  • I don’t have the two 3* Liu’s, but ideally you would use them
  • I put the whole of shi in here to make it simpler for planning the the starlight, they won’t be used
  • Base Yi Sang is used because his sanity restore is directly useful for Dawn Office Sinclair and Magic Bullet Outis sometimes
Bleed

Yi Sang: Dieci Assoc.
Faust: LCB Sinner
Don: Middle
Ryoshu: Red Eyes
Meursault: Middle
Hong Lu: Hook Office
~
Heathcliff: N Corp Inquisition
Ishmael: Wuthering Heights Maid
Rodion: N Corp Inquisition
Sinclair: N Corp Inquisition
Outis: Ring Pointilist
Gregor: Kurokumo

My Team: Everyone on the right side of the menu but replace Middle Meursault with Middle Don, prefer Ring Yi Sang over Gripped Sinclair (bleed kinda just wins with bloody mist anyways)

  • Preferably you would also have Ring Yi Sang
  • Some bleed id’s aren’t here because I also have a Bloise team
  • This is my worst team in circulation, just behind rupture
  • You could also make an extra team with full N Corp, just gotta invest the resources in mid identities and find a way to cycle 6 more supports for starlight and go for N Corp fusion
  • Consider dropping N Corp Sinclair to double slot somebody
Tremor

Yi Sang: Molar
Faust: Regret
Don: N Corp Inquisition
Ryoshu: D20 Yurodivy
Meursault: Rosespanner
Hong Lu: D20 Yurodivy
~
Heathcliff: LCB Sinner
Ishmael: LCCB Assistant
Rodion: Rosespanner
Sinclair: Molar Boatworks
Outis: Molar
Gregor: R.B.

My Team: All 3*'s + Yuro Ryoshu and Molar Yi Sang

  • Oufi Heathcliff isn’t necessarily good
  • There’s a lot of reasonable choices between 2*'s here, LCCB Ishy seems good on paper but may be unnecessary in mirror dungeon, Rosespanner Meursault is okay since he inflicts a lot of count but realistically none of the 2*'s will be that important in md.
  • This team is kinda slow without yellow tremor
  • T Corp Don is definitely better than N Corp but not necessary, however T Corp Rodya is sort of a sidegrade and your choice (I have neither)
Rupture (I don't use this)

CONTAINS DUPES
Yi Sang: Seven Assoc.
Faust: W Corp Cleanup
Don: Lantern
Ryoshu: Seven Assoc.
Meursault: Dead Rabbits Boss
Hong Lu: K Corp C3
~
Heathcliff: Seven Assoc.
Ishmael: Sloshing
Rodion: LCCB Assistant
Sinclair: Red Sheet
Outis: LCB Sinner
Gregor: Rosespanner

My Team: Never tried rupture, the three units I’ve selected are dupes (non-exhaustive?)

  • Probably don’t copy this because it is unfinished
  • Preferably get Seven Faust and Outis and get W Corp Yi Sang
  • If you are mega broke, use Gregor’s AEDD for rupture maintenance and make a gloom team
Sinking

Yi Sang: Solemn Lament
Faust: Wuthering Heights Butler
Don: LCB Sinner
Ryoshu: LCCB Assistant
Meursault: LCB Sinner
Hong Lu: LCB Sinner
~
Heathcliff: Wild Hunt
Ishmael: Molar Boatworks
Rodion: Dieci Assoc.
Sinclair: Los Mariachis Jefe
Outis: Wuthering Heights Butler
Gregor: LCB Sinner

My Team: The left third, Dieci Rodya and Butler Outis. Note that all of the 3*'s have a unique boon which means that the deployment order can be whatever you want

  • There’s so much choice with sinking teams especially if you can get the rest of the Dieci’s and Edgar Gregor. If you have those other lads then consider dropping Rodya because you might not need Rime Shank at that point
  • You definitely want either butterfly or sinking deluge
  • Can use spicebush instead, but I’ve decided to bench it as a dud in my charge team
Poise

Yi Sang: Blade Lineage
Faust: Blade Lineage
Don: Blade Lineage
Ryoshu: Wuthering Heights Maid
Meursault: Blade Lineage
Hong Lu: Tingtang
~
Heathcliff: Sunshower
Ishmael: LCB Sinner
Rodion: Zwei Assoc.
Sinclair: Blade Lineage
Outis: Blade Lineage
Gregor: G Corp. (Old)

My Team: The top row. Note that if I had a 6th poise unit and wasn’t in mirror dungeons then I would put BL Don way higher on deployment, maybe 2nd.

  • Basically a Blade Lineage team
  • Tingtang is strong, but it’d probably better to use Cing Sinclair or Outis if you have them (I’m using Cinq Outis for the crude Bloise team). Since I don’t have Cinq Sinclair I consider dropping Tingtang on bosses and double slotting someone
  • BL Faust is kinda mid for poise, you can move her to Bloise team if you want a 5th bloise unit (and I used to do that) but I lack poise units so she is in this team. I think BL Don is better than her because at least she has a reason for dealing less damage than Bl Yi Sang or BL Meursault (she is poise support)
Charge

Yi Sang: Spicebush
Faust: Multicrack
Don: W Corp. Cleanup
Ryoshu: W Corp. Cleanup
Meursault: R Corp. Rhino
Hong Lu: W Corp. Cleanup
~
Heathcliff: Multicrack
Ishmael: R Corp. Reindeer
Rodion: LCB Sinner
Sinclair: Zwei Assoc.
Outis: G Corp. (Old)
Gregor: Zwei Assoc.

My Team: The W Corp, the Multicrack, and R Corp Ishy

  • This is where the other Zwei went, the first is in the Burn team
  • R Corp Meursault might be better if you have his Electric Screaming ego, I’m not slotting him because I got Multicrack Faust
  • Definitely use W Corp Outis if you have her
  • If you don’t have Multicrack Faust then W Corp Faust is probably also a decent choice as a debuffer (NOT CLASHING OR DMG), kinda bad esp at uptie 3 (probably excuasble in md) but good enough to fill up a charge team
Bloise

Yi Sang: Pequod
Faust: Old L Corp.
Don: Lantern
Ryoshu: Kurokumo
Meursault: Dead Rabbits
Hong Lu: Kurokumo
~
Heathcliff: R Corp. Rabbit
Ishmael: Pequod
Rodion: Kurokumo
Sinclair: LCB Sinner
Outis: Cinq Assoc.
Gregor: Twinhook

My Team: The Pequod, Kurokumo Rodya, Twinhook Gregor, then 'cause I don’t have a 5th bloise unit I’ve chosen Kurokumo Ryoshu and Cinq Outis

  • I’d really like Pequod Heathcliff to make this more comfortable
  • Since I’m missing an 8th id on some sinners, some of the ruptures have dupes here and I skip rupture team to not interrupt starlight bar
  • Bloise kinda claps even with mid units
  • Also yeah R Corp Heathcliff is a dud in my full team rotation, I think he’s overrated after having him be my only viable Heathcliff ID for 1.5 years, though you could use him (or KK Hong Lu) as a 5th bleed id instead of KK Ryoshu

I’m surprised nobody’s talked about the new bygone days. (or devyat)

This thing’s like the horrid amalgam of rime shank, hex nail, fluid sack, and a butler.
even outside of sinking teams, if you want to run bleed for the next chapter:

Look at all these negative status effects on 3 attack weight.
This is perfect for the ring characters… who just so happen to have gloom, lust, and sloth.

how come I get bygone days in 4 rolls and don’t get good Walpurgis pulls in 64 rolls

I am sorry for your loss.

but hey you have this absolutely ludicrous ego now.
(it also has healing for some reason???)

I pray this EGO will carry me towards the dream ending
Also should I use bygone days gregor?

(Also is it worth trying to speed-run to level 130 on the season pass in-attempt to get healthcliff’s bindings)

bygone days gregor has insane SP healing support if you have the sinking output to make it work…
which you can get via bygone days yi-sang which apparently triggers echos of the manor several times from what I’ve heard.
which you can apply via bygone days ishmael…

I think you get the idea.

also no.
because you won’t need to speedrun.
if you are playing the game you’ll probably be well over level 130 by the end of it.

I think I’m past level 600 on the battlepass right now and I mostly just do weekly stuff.

oh wait it has echoes how didnt i notice that
solemn lament gregor shall reign supreme

it only has echos when corroded.

well, i decided it would be funny to max out mariachi sinclair so…


regret

with this, i will now be attempting to do solo mariachi sinclair mdh
may my sanity rest in peace

edit: beat floor 1, gonna continue later but im having fun (except for the first battle that sucked, very rng heavy)

HE’S THE GOAT!!


probably the most fun ive had in limbus in a while, aside from the first fight (rng) and a random prequod town jumpscare on floor 5 (had to corrode to lantern)

His dodge absolutely carries him, too bad he’s so agonizingly slow that he can’t make ANY use of it in a team.

i forgot to mention this was my first solo

I wanna try to run a solo, possibly with don quixote base id, but I’m missing stuff like healing ego

iirc don quixote base ego ends up being good enough healing for md, you really just need that one gift that heals on hit once per turn and it + rest stops is enough healing for most of the run (unless you get an unlucky encounter, like i did with rosespanner fixers which stacked 20 tremor and burst it turn 2)

other thing to know is to avoid anything that can end up having prequod town encounters on floor 4 or 5, esp 5

to get an idea of how bad it is their evades rolled a 30 in my solo run, had to corrode to lantern to beat them

you need to get ego resources for it. LCB doesn’t fuel it
