Describing Angela as a "robot who wants to feel something" was very frustrating because that's kind of the opposite of her character - that she feels too much and is tired of being forced to suppress those emotions, not that she can't feel anything

@NightOfTheRavens To be fair, having the keypage selection scroll all the way to the top whenever you equip a Librarian is annoying and a search function would be nice, but that is a very minor inconvenience.
@@takiyeet6946 If you have to go through a minor inconvenience almost a thousand+ times in the span of 100 hours, then that's no longer just a minor inconvenience.
@@plasmur The editing can be quite daunting, I mean me just trimming down a 6 min footage to 3 min vid took me like 20 mins or so which really reminds me how long it can take to do a simple edit
it took me 3 weeks in total 1 week of record streaming the footage, the rest editing it especially because i never edited in my entire life before so it took way longer than it should've been because i had to just learn while editing it
59:41 the gimmick of this fight is simple, first you need to kill the clones, then kill Pluto. He usually don't take any damage from normal attacks (except burn and 13th attack thing and some other indirect dmg). For some reason when using Blockma strat Pluto takes the dmg so you can pretty much solo this fight if you redirect all the contracts to the meatshields
In phase 2 the way you're supposed to kill him is surviving until the mass, and winning the mass with everyone to nuke his stagger bar But lol no one does that
i mean, even in my video i got a burn kill while using rose W corp passive crit to somehow do it so yeah it kinda just doesn't matter, by the time you get to that stage you just have so many options
Lean Bloody Wings (Burrowing Heaven Level I page) turns half of the die roll into physical damage when winning a clash with a Block die, so it deals both stagger damage and regular damage. Pretty much the only reason why Blockma solo works. Otherwise, you just stagger them with nothing actually done.
I disagree the gimmick isn't kill clones then kill him. The gimmick are the contract he gives you. They are meant to be contracts that on the face of it screw you over (like what happened to him) but can actually be turned to your benefit. For example the contract liberty randomises page cost between 1-3. For most decks this can be bad by Suddenly making your light and draw pages much more expensive. But if you stack your deck with 3 cost pages (including 3 cost light and draw pages) you in practice will be very efficient with light and draw as you'll be reducing the cost of your pages 2/3 of the time. Another one is the contract light. Which gives you full light every turn but requires you spend it all every turn or get staggered. Which is normally very dangerous but if you build your deck with the EGO page Baptism in mind it becomes a very strong way to spam endurance and heals to the team. I honestly would recommend trying to build around the gimmicks of each contract, it made the fight the most fun one in the game for me.
It's not wrong until like Urban Plague. But none of them have gone that far. And then it becomes correct again when you reach IC and can run Ominous Power + Brace Up decks with whatever.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd there are none. Ominous + Brace Up decks are the strongest generic decks because you can play your strongest cards and EGO all the time. Your build barely matters since it works for everyone other than Rapid Gashes spammers, Memories builds and technically Thumb decks.
@@anothenblue2630 Well... You specify they are "generic", then you name a few decks that can be far stronger, not even mentioning stuff like solo decks. That's kind of my point there, specialized decks can, and are, stronger than a basic set like that.
I seriously didn't think about the necessity of making a LoR guide video but I realized that the new port to consoles means new people with zero experience of playing PMoon games will play the game the first time
This guide helped me get to Red Mist faster, so easy 10/10 thank you. That and to be brutally honest I’m not good at deck building because I tend to just want to use the coolest moves but I want to watch every cutscene and actually play the game so I do genuinely really appreciate this.
Not only that, the complaint about characters is so disengenuous. Ignoring the fact that the reviewer didn't even care to wait for their development, everyone can reduce a character to a trope to make them feel the same and one dimensional.
@@Water_Connoisseurthe crazy part is that it doesn’t even take that much playtime to completely disprove their claim. Like, you learn that Roland is more than just a confused protagonist really early on. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t take that long to learn that the “sweet helpless girl” is a little bit more than that either. And literally the first fucking cutscene involving a patron librarian shows a side of both angela and malkuth that was not mentioned in the review. This guy literally just skipped through every line of dialogue and then complained about the story being bad.
I would've mentioned bleed against QoH and used full stop for true cheese but hey. For ensemble, soloing is absolutely not necessary as you only need 20 keypages to equip everything. Also Malkuth solo is the easiest there as you only need Yujin with fervid, happy memories and double haulers. Argalia can also die to basically anything with the right passives lol. Nikolai can also cheese aspiration with disposal. For Remorse you can sort of just kill her and ignore the arms. Good god I was ranting. Anyways good guide!
there you go, you proved something i like about ruina the massive amount of deckbuilding you can do i just chose the method i know of, but if you can prove me wrong you have my respect man
Which is basically every time because the fight (and the entire endgame) is a joke. I have never had a BS fight go *without* a turn being awkwardly skipped because all clones are dead, but his timer is still going
So you can actually beat Queen of Hatred as soon as you unlock her, but you need to do the Rusted Chains general reception! (Burn one Urban Plague book that doesn't have a story invite attached.) Step 1: Get three Jikan Key pages Step 2: Slot Bleed and Slash support passives Step 3: Stack some Bleed and card draw in your deck Step 4: Beat her face in. QoH is noticeably weak to Bleed because she's nothing but offensive dice. It's a bit like playing rocket tag with her, but I've only needed a try or two for this to work.
nice video man, long but enjoyable. (also all those guys in the beggining din't get much done, i think the furthest one them got was urban plague?, he did mention all the lower floor patrons, soo ye keep doing the game justice.)
1:11:00 there's a way easier way of doing aspiration Step 1 : Get the abno page learn and slap it on a nugget with any defensive power up(can be anyone if you use nikolai) Step 2 : Use learn against aspiration, the counter dices will clash and she'll get staggered due to her constantly losing the clashes

It shows a lot about how lengthy and cintent packed Ruina's endgame is that 30% of the video is just getting there, I remember being like "Okay, finally, for real this time, it's over, I can rest" And then they added another bossfight, for the 4th timr
You know this game is challenging. And my first playthrough there were many brutal walls which sometines took me an entire day to complete. But im on my second playthrough and nearing the end and i find that you dont have to play absolutely optimally or cheese the game. Theres so many fun ways to build decks while still be effective enough to beat the harder challenges of the game. On my current playthrough fights that i had been dreading i finished on my first or second try. Save for a few (screw you apocalypse bird).
Video talking about how to break one of my top 3 favorite games that I've just replayed for the 2nd time that don't need any help beating and make it incredibly easy? Of course, I'll watch it. Waiter, waiter! More Ruina content, please!
did NOT expect my steam review to be featured in a video, even in a thumbnail Yeah, Ruina is a pretty easy game on your second go-around, especially in the final product, and this video summarizes some strategies very well. Even if you can't into lob corp, just read and do some thinking about composition and you'll be fine! Or. You know. G O O D B Y E We don't talk about pre-nerf ensemble gauntlet and [Redacted] though.
@@plasmur yeah, I can run over to my PC and upload a screenshot of my steam profile if you'd like, but the "gave me depression though" steam review was one I made while I was working on LC13
kinda sorry that i took it without permission, but i hope you're cool with it. it's just a random negative review that i thought was good for the video nothing more than that really
Im convinced that a lot of players getting stomped by the game dont understand that Dice Power is one of the strongest stats in the game, that the regen passives you get from the Zwei, Butchers, or the sweepers are really strong since most enemies don't have those, or just straight up dont understand how ranged and mass attacks function in clashes (which is fair)
Extra tips for Red Mist Batle: Index Proxies are very good and effective this fight because of easy power stacking. Binah can use Degraded Pillar to cheese On rush and GSV. Her First Die has the effect "This dice can't be rerolled", so even if you fail the clash, the dice is destroyed. Also, her Mass attack gives 3 Protection to all alies, so it's useful against surviving GSH
idk why buti wasnt able to play video games for a week and this auto downloaded... i watched it for like 12 hours in total and now i finally actually get to use it...
I don't even like library of ruina (due to deck building skill issues even with the helpful tutorial you've graced us with) it was just fun to watch you play
makes me mad seeing someone say there's literally no reward for a not fully completed fight when a large part of my strategy for the mid game was beating a single enemy of a hard reception to get their keypage to use against them again lol
1:08:44 I believe since you can't attack him that turn you take the stagger damage from not dealing 40+ damage in a turn (a requirement listed on the redmist buff) but then since you have the ability to refill your stagger bar to full once staggered you don't actually lose your ego form? It's still a bit weird but since you didn't deal damage that should be why you got staggered in the first place.
Tbh regarding the comment in the thumbnail...... meh, first tume I had difficulty in LoR going in blind was QoH (I still question myself why the hell I chose to spend hours to beat her as soon as unlocked instead of getting stronger pages and clear her in few attempts) and after that I found stuff difficult only when I reached Star of the city. Also while LoR has it's nasty fights, especially from star of the city and forward, it's almost relaxing compared to LC in my opinion, love both games but oh boi does LC get stressful in later days, especially when powerful abnos want completly different things like QoH and Mosb, or when you discover for the first time that some abnos "disguise" themselves as lower a lower grade one.
Full stop office and carnival passives are also very good. Full stop str stacking on 3 attack dice page as a starter will not only win most clashes but also gain back 3 emotion coin (refilling light).
I do agree with the point about how you only get the tip of the iceberg for mechanics explained. Like light. I'm too lazy to check, but I'm pretty sure they never mention that a character refills all light on leveling up their respective emotion level, which made me extremely confused for the first half and brute forcing receptions since I couldn't properly manage light. Same with many other mechanics (they never mention attack counter dice not being lost when u kill an enemy with it in its tutorial/help section.) There's also some other problems here and there, but.....are there actually people critizing the music??? Yiiikes. At this point I'm willing to bet most of the negative reviewers quit before even reaching urban legend. Actual nonsense. Also, did the second person complain that.....that there's no heavy gambling with scummy odds...? Who wrote this? Rodion? (Also, spoiler but, notice how he says "protagonist has no idea what's going on"? He didn't even beat the blue ensemble LOL.)
"there is basically no new player guide in the game" about the game which literally has a manual for the exact function of pretty much every single mechanic in the game is hilarious
How i defeated xiao. Netzach on 25 hp, and 5 stagger. *Spring genesis, tentacle, pebble* after following two hits on xiao, netzach if effectively *IMMORTAL* for 4 chapters and 11 turns.
thank you for making this video enjoyable and helped me get past the god awful fucking reverberation ensemble with over 60 hours in a bit less then 5 days
My favorite build in the game is pierce decks with Netzach, but somehow I didn't realize how viable Slash was even in the early game. I used it a ton later, but still...
0:04 argument for the characters: Play all the games, or if you suck at all the games (way too easy my ass) read the fucking internet. I was going to write about each character they listed but realized each and every one they listed was because they didn't know the character well.
I'm ngl the amount of luck I'm gonna have to muster to not take a shit ton of damage before fighting argilia and his gear goons is gonna be a paaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. But 10/10 will follow the rest after I get past this roadblock
You get stagger with gebura if you don't do damage while with E.G.O about 20~30 stagger damage I think, that's why you almost lost you run against Roland lol
0:02 how tf do you need 130 hours to reach to black silence? Thats some tremendous skill issue, I just needed 112 hours to finish the game + all achivements and I accidentally left the game open for 2 days without playing it lmao

well sucks for me then
thanks for pointing it out man
It shows a lot about how lengthy and cintent packed Ruina's endgame is that 30% of the video is just getting there, I remember being like "Okay, finally, for real this time, it's over, I can rest" And then they added another bossfight, for the 4th timr
You know this game is challenging. And my first playthrough there were many brutal walls which sometines took me an entire day to complete. But im on my second playthrough and nearing the end and i find that you dont have to play absolutely optimally or cheese the game. Theres so many fun ways to build decks while still be effective enough to beat the harder challenges of the game. On my current playthrough fights that i had been dreading i finished on my first or second try. Save for a few (screw you apocalypse bird).
Video talking about how to break one of my top 3 favorite games that I've just replayed for the 2nd time that don't need any help beating and make it incredibly easy? Of course, I'll watch it. Waiter, waiter! More Ruina content, please!
A Ymfah style video? On Library of Ruina????
God, yes. Subscribed.
fun fact: the first time i did hokma realization i died at the plot armor part due to hokma being on 3 hp and me having Martyr
It’s pretty much a gameplay feature at this point that project moon games have a difficulty cliff only surmountable by the most dedicated players
Damn, and the fact I went through the game without doing any general receptions. No wonder the difficulty spike.
same braincell with me
my first playthrough, i didn't even know general recpetions was a thing until i looked at youtube stuff
Honestly fair, they tell you about it once during a cutscene and never tell or talk about it again
Step one to cheese everything: bremen abuse
Step two: thumb pages with full stop passives
Step three: yesod myongest+pt guard overcharge (only slightly shatters balance)
19:40 insignificant nitpick but you can actually do any reception to get back the distortion/lob corp book, from Rats and onward
did NOT expect my steam review to be featured in a video, even in a thumbnail
Yeah, Ruina is a pretty easy game on your second go-around, especially in the final product, and this video summarizes some strategies very well. Even if you can't into lob corp, just read and do some thinking about composition and you'll be fine!
Or.
You know.

We don't talk about pre-nerf ensemble gauntlet and [Redacted] though.
you're actualy the dude?
@@plasmur yeah, I can run over to my PC and upload a screenshot of my steam profile if you'd like, but the "gave me depression though" steam review was one I made while I was working on LC13
kinda sorry that i took it without permission, but i hope you're cool with it.
it's just a random negative review that i thought was good for the video
nothing more than that really
The multitude tightens its hold
Im convinced that a lot of players getting stomped by the game dont understand that Dice Power is one of the strongest stats in the game, that the regen passives you get from the Zwei, Butchers, or the sweepers are really strong since most enemies don't have those, or just straight up dont understand how ranged and mass attacks function in clashes (which is fair)
1:08:46
You get staggered here bc of Red Mist's penalty, if you don't do I think a minimum of 40 damage every scene, you take stagger damage.
Extra tips for Red Mist Batle:
Index Proxies are very good and effective this fight because of easy power stacking.
Binah can use Degraded Pillar to cheese On rush and GSV. Her First Die has the effect "This dice can't be rerolled", so even if you fail the clash, the dice is destroyed.
Also, her Mass attack gives 3 Protection to all alies, so it's useful against surviving GSH
idk why buti wasnt able to play video games for a week and this auto downloaded... i watched it for like 12 hours in total and now i finally actually get to use it...
I don't even like library of ruina (due to deck building skill issues even with the helpful tutorial you've graced us with) it was just fun to watch you play
loving the ymfah aesthetic
during the white night fight, i defeated the gaurdians but the resistances never changes. twas a slow fight
1:05:27 "42th run the winning run" im sorry, this has me rolling for some reason
makes me mad seeing someone say there's literally no reward for a not fully completed fight when a large part of my strategy for the mid game was beating a single enemy of a hard reception to get their keypage to use against them again lol
Philip is really easy with lone fixer + offensive counter dice.
this peaks so hard..... waow..
1:08:44 I believe since you can't attack him that turn you take the stagger damage from not dealing 40+ damage in a turn (a requirement listed on the redmist buff) but then since you have the ability to refill your stagger bar to full once staggered you don't actually lose your ego form? It's still a bit weird but since you didn't deal damage that should be why you got staggered in the first place.
You have made my day funny man.
Im not as funny as roland sadly
Tbh regarding the comment in the thumbnail...... meh, first tume I had difficulty in LoR going in blind was QoH (I still question myself why the hell I chose to spend hours to beat her as soon as unlocked instead of getting stronger pages and clear her in few attempts) and after that I found stuff difficult only when I reached Star of the city.
Also while LoR has it's nasty fights, especially from star of the city and forward, it's almost relaxing compared to LC in my opinion, love both games but oh boi does LC get stressful in later days, especially when powerful abnos want completly different things like QoH and Mosb, or when you discover for the first time that some abnos "disguise" themselves as lower a lower grade one.
Ah yes my red mist that i havent used this in 40 seconds
Full stop office and carnival passives are also very good.
Full stop str stacking on 3 attack dice page as a starter will not only win most clashes but also gain back 3 emotion coin (refilling light).
for xhao just REGRET "STAGGERED" DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING
Bamboo hatted kim is on par with the late game books
If only he had 4 light at start
Well he lacks a good exclusive, and besides the +2 strenght he doesn't have actually that much
Nice argument but... slash go brrr
good point, but yknow 19-23 counter is always nice to pull off
@@plasmur unfortunatly few fights actually allows you to get it consistently
Also it's expensive as Fuck , 7 light in total is a lot
doesn't matter, i have personally used it for gebura spear, and goddamn it is effective
just lose the clash with onrush and counter her spear
I do agree with the point about how you only get the tip of the iceberg for mechanics explained. Like light. I'm too lazy to check, but I'm pretty sure they never mention that a character refills all light on leveling up their respective emotion level, which made me extremely confused for the first half and brute forcing receptions since I couldn't properly manage light.
Same with many other mechanics (they never mention attack counter dice not being lost when u kill an enemy with it in its tutorial/help section.)
There's also some other problems here and there, but.....are there actually people critizing the music??? Yiiikes. At this point I'm willing to bet most of the negative reviewers quit before even reaching urban legend. Actual nonsense.
Also, did the second person complain that.....that there's no heavy gambling with scummy odds...? Who wrote this? Rodion? (Also, spoiler but, notice how he says "protagonist has no idea what's going on"? He didn't even beat the blue ensemble LOL.)
3:16
I didn’t even realize that was Irori’s kid
i was just joking to be honest, but who knows, it might actually be so
May the algorithm bless you
"there is basically no new player guide in the game" about the game which literally has a manual for the exact function of pretty much every single mechanic in the game is hilarious
I was using this as a guide cause I got stuck and it took me all night to get 11 minutes in lmao
what
Lowkey I'm kinda slow
Huh?
As good as this video is I think it would be better if it had chapters for when you actually get into the builds you know what pages use and stuff.
i'm sorry, i completely forgot to add chapters on yt, adding it now
@@plasmur cool I'm glad to respond to criticism well.
missed this type of content
i will always be scared with those people who said "EZ" in any pm games.
why so?
i ask calmly
@@plasmur tryhard and those so called pro people
@@Staringishmaelpfp you do you my friend
the only problem with tiphzodia is my nuggets LOVE rolling max and gaining positive emotions
from 0:12 to 0:14 are all valid points tho
How i defeated xiao.
Netzach on 25 hp, and 5 stagger.
*Spring genesis, tentacle, pebble*
after following two hits on xiao, netzach if effectively *IMMORTAL* for 4 chapters and 11 turns.
thank you for making this video enjoyable and helped me get past the god awful fucking reverberation ensemble with over 60 hours in a bit less then 5 days
good to know man, you're on the last stetch now don't stop
My favorite build in the game is pierce decks with Netzach, but somehow I didn't realize how viable Slash was even in the early game. I used it a ton later, but still...
this man, give him 2k subs and 1 mil views IMMEDEATELY
This is the same style of video from the guy who play dark souls with challenge only.
You tranfer it to ruina video so well
That is exactly what i did, will keep doing it for a while until i get another idea
1:01:33 furioso matched to spider dance is so satisfy
wow i didn't even notice that until someone pointed it out
that's an actual coincidence that matched the beats
cool
0:04 saying lor music isn't at the very least decent is insane
0:04 argument for the characters:
Play all the games, or if you suck at all the games (way too easy my ass) read the fucking internet.
I was going to write about each character they listed but realized each and every one they listed was because they didn't know the character well.
beating the library battle simulation
Almost makes me want to continue my ultimate ruina modded save file… almost
Funny thing is when i fought road to home, the girl died but the cat didnt transform so i had to chip away at its hp. FUNNNNNNNN
Yeah… the people leaving these reviews definitely want to know how to win the game easily and not have fun… that was certainly their issue..
Was hoping for a guide on cheesing some hard bosses and get greeted by a spoiler on the title screen. Thanks
not a spoiler if you don't know the context
@plasmur that's the only thing keeping me going 😮💨 but it does lead to assumptions.
You forgot FullStop - OneShot team. (Power Stack on first Act)
Stacking 3of your best cards indeed works
If it's omnibrace
Somehow i don't think they maxe it to olivier in 3.2 hours
1:03:30 you should let her lose clash for red emotion cards
I'm ngl the amount of luck I'm gonna have to muster to not take a shit ton of damage before fighting argilia and his gear goons is gonna be a paaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. But 10/10 will follow the rest after I get past this roadblock
36:05 what a nice tree.
I love treeee🌲
Okay the switch version does suck, can't blame them on that.
ymfah styled lor video was my dream w vid
You get stagger with gebura if you don't do damage while with E.G.O about 20~30 stagger damage I think, that's why you almost lost you run against Roland lol
0:04 this review pisses me off, bro probably didn't even make it past urban plague
0:02 how tf do you need 130 hours to reach to black silence? Thats some tremendous skill issue, I just needed 112 hours to finish the game + all achivements and I accidentally left the game open for 2 days without playing it lmao
1:34 true, he get a game jorno level of brain damage there
Lmao tsunul slander at the first part
