[Limbus Company] Refraction Railway 3 Guide, Analysis and Optimization

Hey all! Here’s finally my guide for Refraction Railway 3. This guide focuses on fights analysis, and how to optimize them, with my personal “more optimized” run. I didn’t go for a minimum run count, I don’t want to take that much time, but I wanted a faster run to see units and theorycrafting potential.

I got 71 turns on my first run and 58 on my second. The rupture truly had a purpose

[@hoitheguy]

With Railway 4 being announced I finally decided to beat Railway 3, thanks for the help

[@itsblake828]

Tip if you want a really easy (but not necessarily super fast) Pequod crew fight: bring K Corp Hong Lu and make sure he gets focused. He can tank Ahab's whole burst extremely easily and overall makes the fight ten times smoother.

[@alexmetaverse]

use effervescent corrosion too for the envy res

[@aegisScale]

Bodysack Harpoonkliff works for this too, so long as you stagger him during the first wave. It also lets him do tons more damage once you get an opening.

[@Yichh]

I’d say harpooncliff would be better since he gets stronger from taking damage, and does pierce which starbuck and Ahab are weak to

[@jamgUNoh]

bless you brah

[@covid19sama]

After seeing all the sin affinities across the railway and how ineffective slash is I'm amazed my bleed team finished in under 100 turns, especially during Spiral where I killed it with 1 staggered Hook Lu left. I think that with rupture being so dominant in this railway the terminus in RR4 might have an evade gimmick instead of damage resistance which I personally welcome

[@MagnetAlpha]

Lol, nice. For bosses, well we'll have time to see, but they seem to want to do very neutral final bosses now, at least they did for the last 2. Also I'd have thought we'd get some strong bleed IDs next season (and burn for Season 5).

[@galaxia7592]

Just barely got under 100 when I used this, the biggest hurdles were the Pequod Trio and Gasharpoon.

[@Axogodtl]

Something I see rarely mentioned is how good W Corp Yi Sang is for the trio fight. With his dodge scaling with charge, he can dodge attacks that roll 16. Making him the target while keeping starbuck alive allows you to simply dodge all of both Ahab's and Starbuck's attacks. Rng dependent, but still an extremely solid strat to avoid any losses.

[@MagnetAlpha]

I guess he can be used. However his skills 1 and 3 being sloth and gloom isn't too good in this section, you have to get the charge beforehand too, and there are several other valuable options for this role, mainly including Cinq Outis which is a 00 and better for this overall, or W Ryoshu who can dish out huge damage otherwise. But I guess W Yi Sang can do the work anyway. He's resistant to pierce, so even if you miss it can be ok, though he's pretty frail.

[@thousandyoung]

There's nothing Solid about it because it's RNG Dependent like many other things. Just like those Videos that claim 2 Turning Siltcurrent. It's Cheaters, Fake or 9000 Retries.

[@The_ever_preset_Bee_Eater]

Sooooooo what I’m hearing is run envy resonance

[@stuntkid1870]

Is there a way to tell the slot order for a single sinner in which it's skills get performed, or is it random?

[@MagnetAlpha]

You mean when they have more than one slot right ? There's probably be a logic, but I don't know it sorry. For the railway it isn't relevant anyway.

[@epicidex1006]

Clashes come first. One sided attacks come out in the order you placed them down.
When you clash, it prioritizes the leftmost slot of the rightmost part

[@scolit205]

i will try to get a under 80 turns run with burn team. Wish me luck
