    I will never understand why most Gacha games would rather explode than slightly buff bad units. I understand that most Gacha games have a "out with the old, bring in the new" mentality to maximize profits, but what most are asking for is slight buffs to be more viable, I doubt something that minor would ever affect the sales of new units.

      I think it has to do with legal issues. As in, people buy lunacy to buy the character that is advertised; so if the character is changed down the line, someone may sue?

      @@Diana-ny4bc yeah but the game is still in its infancy so there is no telling if Rabbit will still get to keep his spot as the best unit in the game, also all the other 000 IDs that were there from the start have been power crept with the only ones still able to hold their ground for now being TingTang and W Don. also, Rabbit is a 000 and Chef Gregor was a free 00, so comparing the two is like compering an old rich bodybuilder to a young normal guy who has never set foot in a gym, age won't matter much in that equation.

    I love your zwei Sinclair buff, but I'd maybe change the "no more than 7 protection" on the passive to instead redirect protection to a random other ally if Sinclair has 7 or more - this would still stop him from becoming literally invincible when soloing, while also adding a new niche where he could be used alongside one other ally to protect them both, as all protection over 7 will be redirected to them

    One thing to note is that all your changes made each skill more complex, sometimes by quite a bit. There's something to be said for simplicity and elegance in design, especially in a game with as many moving parts as Limbus Company.

    I cannot possibly tell why, but the fact how those little edits you sneak here and there are just subtle enough that they don't sear eyes and are just funny enough to underline what you're talking about instead of overwhelming it.
    These are very enjoyable videos, even if I already have my faves C:
    It's Heathcliffs, they're all heathcliffs.
    If one could make AEDD passive trigger upon taking damage instead of being hit, this would skyrocket Shi-cliff to high heavens.

    I think LCCB Rodion was designed to be a sort of "Breacher" ID, who does lots of damage verses defensive units. She was a release ID and its possible she was designed to be used in canto 3 which has a lot of blunt weak enemies that use defensive skills (in particular the K-Corp guards are a major roadblock to players who have just finished canto 2 and probably have levels in the mid teens).
    Defense power down could be fixed by making it apply on skill use rather than on hit.

    chef greg needs those buffs, because currently he's literally just "replace LCB gregor on the bench if chef ryoshu is on the field"
    and LCCB rodion seems to have a straight-forward gimmick explained in a very roundabout way: anti-defense
    her gimmick is being against the very concept of defensive units with that defense power down and paralyze (mostly because evades have usually low floors but great coin power)

  • @TheLastCurryRice
    @TheLastCurryRice Рік тому +51

    Wow the concept of ID designs where you “grow” them over time by getting through its gimmicks is actually a very cool idea to give Sinclair in general considering his character. Right now a lot of sinners have something going on for each of them across their IDs and Sinlair’s… identity seemed to be a little lost. If they could give this sort of growing over time mechanic to more of his IDs, it’d be a great way to have a different gameplay style of being his “mentor” in a way, guiding him to become better at what the ID wants to do.
    Getting Crits on BL sinclair’s S3 maybe grants permanent 2 haste (up to 4) to eventually be able to utilize his S3 to help the team win their clashes. Getting the 5 sheets on the enemy gives Red Sheet Sinclair permanent damage up (up to 2). When another sinner dies LCB Sinclair gets a permanent offensive power bonus (up to 1) etc.

    • @Late0NightPC
      @Late0NightPC Рік тому +6

      I think that "Growing IDs" being a gimmick specific to Sinclair would actually fit really well, as that's a lot of what Sinclair's core character concept is. Not only is the "character information" given to Dante in the intro chapter very explicit about him having incredible growth potential, saying *"this is a hopeful sign that he has the potential to grow into an expert of our company's profession with the right stimuli."* But also in the same vein, that's the core concept of his source book, Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth. The story is basically, Sinclair gets tormented by Kromer so hard that he ends up running into Demian, who helps him along the path of growth and self-realization as he literally grows from being a child and enters the world of adulthood.
      I'd change his base ID like this to better reflect that.
      Passive: Adds, When Sinclair wins a clash, gain 1 attack power up next turn and permanently gain 1 offense level up to 10 max.
      Counter: Adds, On Use, when above 70% HP, gain 1 protection, when below 70% HP, gain 1 permanent defense power up, max 3, and gain 2 defense power up this turn
      S1: Adds, on clash win, gain 1 attack power up next turn, on clash lose, inflict the enemy with permanent -1 offensive level, inflict enemy with 2 damage down this turn.
      S2: Adds, On clash win, one coin on this skill permanently gains 1 power, max 1 coin power. On clash lose, permanently gain 1 protection, if permanent protection would go over 2, instead gain regular protection.
      S3: Adds, On clash win, increase all numbers on this skill except power by 1(+1 rupture and rupture count for all 3 coins, +2 attack power up on clash win, but base and coin power remains the same). On clash lose, heal 10% max HP for each won coinflip against the enemy and permanently gain +5 defense level up to 10 max.
      Really going all in on "Growth", the more he wins clashes, the better he gets at clashing. The more he loses clashes though, the more durable he gets, meaning he can take riskier and riskier clashes away from the rest of the time. His passive now gives him power on clash, since it was basically useless the entire rest of the time as it needed an ally to die to do anything. But importantly, the more he wins clashes, the better he becomes at winning more clashes in the future thanks to the offense level up. Alongside that, his counter now supports it. At high HP, it lets you take a few more hits, while at lower HP, since it's a counter, that lower HP defense power is basically "attack power up but only for counters", meaning even when he's going Tank-clair, he can still put out some damage.
      For S1, he swings downwards so powerfully, if he wins the clash he get's hyped for the next turn with attack power, and if he loses, the sheer force of the swing throws the enemy off guard and makes them unable to really put their all into it. S2 is his main damage skill, getting the most benefit from growing better over time. Perma-protection on clash lose makes him far tankier, and a gaining random coin power on clash win means you can't reliably control his growth, but by the end of 6 clashes, you know exactly where he'll be. Lastly, S3, Ravaging Cut, really has him *ravage* the enemy on clash win, and being the rarest skill he has, it can stack infinitely(or if it must, caps at 5 stacks). It's power doesn't really go up since he's already gaining a ton of attack power from his S1 and passive, but just in case it somehow loses, you get a strong heal based on how long he struggled in the clash for, and defense level up so that future enemies won't hit quiet as hard.

  • @redeyesdarknessmetalsonic
    @redeyesdarknessmetalsonic Рік тому +6

    Hi Esgoo! I've been a lurker on your channel ever since your first video. Really interesting to see your process behind upgrading these IDs' kits to make them better, and you've inspired me to make my own fix for a bad ID: Los Mariachis Jefe Sinclair.
    Mariachi Sinclair is a tank ID who doesn't know how to tank. He has high HP numbers, but has terrible speed, an evade instead of a guard, no source of Aggro, and a weird status mix between Sinking and Poise that he really doesn't inflict much. While a simple solution would be just increasing his speed range and increasing the numbers on his skills, I felt it would be interesting to try and make him a slow tank. I'll cover his Combat Passive change first, since it's what will tie the whole kit together.
    Júblio Hedonista
    Old:
    (3x Gloom Res)
    After a successful evade, lower Stagger Threshold by the evade skill's Power at a (5x Gloom Reson.)% chance.
    New:
    (4x Gloom Owned)
    At the start of the combat phase, automatically prepare this unit's defense skill.
    On crit, inflict +1 Count and gain +1 to the used skill's skill slot next turn.
    Explanation: Inflicting Sinking Count on crit ties together the Poise and Sinking statuses he uses. Prepping an evade automatically also means he doesn't have to worry about enemies going before him as much, ESPECIALLY in human fights. And extra aggro means more enemies target him for attacks. Changed it to 4x Gloom Owned because that's much more achievable.
    Now then, onto the rest of his skills, in order.
    Baile y Rola (Sloth, Blunt)
    Old:
    〔Base Power: 4〕
    〔Coin Count: 2〕
    〔Coin Power: +2〕
    〔Offense Level: LVL - 3〕
    If target has 4+ , Coin Power +1
    《1》 [On Hit]: Inflict 4
    New:
    〔Base Power: 4〕
    〔Coin Count: 2〕
    〔Coin Power: +3〕
    〔Offense Level: LVL - 3〕
    If target has 4+ , Coin Power +1
    [On Use]: Gain +2 to this skill slot next turn
    [After Attack]: Gain +2 to this skill slot next turn
    《1》 [On Hit]: Gain +2 ; Gain +1 Count
    《2》 [On Hit]: Inflict 2
    Explanation: Adding +1 Coin Power allows him him to roll a 10/12 max, which is pretty standard for most 2-Star skill 1s. Also gave more Poise since he was really missing out on it with his original kit. Finally the added Aggro makes enemies target him more often. The After Attack effects gives him a bit more Aggro next turn after winning a clash or doing an unopposed attack, of which the latter will happen often.
    Danza de Pasión (Envy, Blunt)
    Old:
    〔Base Power: 5〕
    〔Coin Count: 3〕
    〔Coin Power: +1〕
    〔Offense Level: LVL - 3〕
    If target has 6+ , Coin Power +2
    《1》 [On Hit]: Gain 2 ; Gain +1 Poise Count
    《2》 [On Hit]: Inflict 2 ; Inflict +1 Count
    《3》 [On Hit]: Inflict 2
    New:
    〔Base Power: 5〕
    〔Coin Count: 3〕
    〔Coin Power: +2〕
    〔Offense Level: LVL - 3〕
    If target has 6+ , Coin Power +1
    [After Attack]: Gain +3 to this skill slot next turn
    《1》 [On Hit]: Gain 2 ; Gain +2 Poise Count
    《2》 [On Hit]: Inflict 2 ; Inflict +1 Count
    《3》 [On Hit]: Inflict 3
    Explanation: A 11/14 max is much better than an 8/14. Also gave a bit more Poise Count to help him keep Poise going, along with inflicting a little more Sinking. Finally, more Aggro gained after attack for the same reason as his skill 1.
    Pañata Party (Gloom, Blunt)
    Old:
    〔Base Power: 8〕
    〔Coin Count: 1〕
    〔Coin Power: +11〕
    〔Offense Level: LVL - 3〕
    If target's SP is below 0, boost crit chance proportional to target's SP
    If user has 5+ Count, +30% Critical Damage
    《1》 [On Hit]: Lower user's Stagger Threshold by 50% of damage dealt
    New:
    〔Base Power: 8〕
    〔Coin Count: 1〕
    〔Coin Power: +11〕
    〔Offense Level: LVL - 3〕
    If target's SP is below 0, boost crit chance proportional to target's SP
    If user has 5+ Count, +30% Critical Damage
    《1》 [On Hit]: Lower user's Stagger Threshold by 50% of damage dealt
    [On Crit]: If target has -45 SP or 20+ , reuse this coin and the target heals 10 SP or loses 10 Sinking.
    [On Crit - Reuse]: Inflict 8
    Explanation: Reusing coins is cool, and also allows his s3 to do some good damage, provided the enemy has low SP/high Sinking. Also allows him to lower his Stagger Threshold even further and just not get staggered at all.
    Evade (Gloom)
    Unchanged from original:
    〔Base Power: 5〕
    〔Coin Count: 1〕
    〔Coin Power: +10〕
    〔Defense Level: LVL + 5〕
    [On Evade]: Gain +1 Count
    Explanation: This skill is already really good, especially for a 2-Star. 15 max evade is more than every 3 star currently in the game, with the exception of TT Hong Lu. No reason to change this skill.
    Jugar con Enemigos
    Old:
    (4x Gloom Owned)
    1 ally with the most SP deals +10% damage to enemies with lower SP.
    New:
    (3x Gloom Owned)
    1 ally with the most SP deals +10% damage to enemies with lower SP.
    Explanation: Base Outis does essentially the same thing but better, so lowering the amount need to activate by 1 seems like a good change.
    And that's everything. Hopefully he doesn't seem super strong with these changes to him. As a side note, if you somehow read this comment as well as this far down: your content is amazing.

    10:40 Brilliant change, but should probably say something along the lines of "gain +1 coin power for every point of speed faster user is than target", since your example wording works when RBGregor's slower than his target.
    15:47 She's not the only one with a 1:1 same name, SevenFaust and SevenOutis share *Predictive Analysis,* SinnerFaust and SevenRyoshu almost share Upward/Upper Slash, WFaust, WDon, WRyoshu, share Leap, WFaust, WMeursalt, and WHong Lu share *Energy Cycle,* WDon and WMeursalt share *Rip,* ZweiSinclair and ZweiGregor shar *Your Shield,* ShiHeathcliff and ShiIshmael share both *Flashing Strike* and *Flying Sword,* ShiIsh and ShiDon share *Catch Breath,* and there's probably others but this list is too long.

    Wait, we’re fixing things now? In which case, don’t mind if I throw my hat in to the ring.
    Poise: one of the most underwhelming status effects within the game, more or less requiring U4 BL Yi Sang OR Poise related EGO gift(s) in order to be somewhat usable, even then being able to do a whopping 20% extra damage when landing a Crit isn’t very impressive.
    So, I propose a rework, a very simple one at that which is;
    Old: (5%xP)xC=Chance to do 20% more damage
    New: (5%xP)xC=Chance to Bypass/Apply x0.25 Resistance to an enemy
    What do I mean by this? Well assuming the victim as x1.00 Res(Normal), when you land a Crit it now becomes a x1.25 Res(Weak).
    You can see how busted that can be right? It essentially becomes a minor Defense Mitigation, which is just plain helpful, especially if you have Poise related ID (cough BL YS cough).
    Anyway that’s my two cents, excellent video as always!

    I think one of the ways an ID could be buff is to give sin chaining more importance outside of passives, ego gifts, and damage.
    More skills should have effects that activates after chaining certain sin affinities.
    Another buff is to make it so that skills get a direct increase in clash power when sin chaining instead of just buffing offense level.

    since she tries to block attack with electric stick, it would makes sense to be "pseudo-thorns" that while defense is still luck luster,
    it at least punish enemy when push comes to shove by tiny margin

    And I think the best way to make it happen would be an addition to his passive: "If at 1 skill slot and over 5 talisman, reduce to 5 talisman at turn end".

    @ChSVaness Рік тому +4

    I do a ton of balancing work for Limbus RP, and I must say, your suggestions are spot-on!
    What I would change is:
    1) Der deutsche Panzer should have AT LEAST Kong Lu's speed values. That would fix his existing passive straight up.
    Protection-based Sinclair looks interesting, especially considering that you accounted for Protection being oh so OP when you stack 10 of it (MFE intensifies). Although I woukd make some coin power-ups based off of his "Perma-Protection". Imo conditional +2 coin power is a bandaid fix for most of the IDs - simple yet not too effective
    2) RB Greg having yet another 4(+2)x4 S3 devalues my previously beloved G Gregor, which is... sad to think about :/ But that's a tested skill archetype, so I suppose that's just a subjective matter.
    Him being based off of bind made it so peculiar to me bc they obviously implied on multiple occasions that he should be used in tandem with RB Ryoshu (esp after Red Eyes were made into a thing), so... Maybe him being a niche support is fine, so long as we get more Binders later down the line? I don't know.
    3) I was a fan of LCCB Rodya back in the days of struggling with Kromer (and persevering through Aida) because she had that exceptional niche of literally breaking down impenetrable walls of Dodge skills. Now that less and less enemies have these (and our skills roll too much), Rodya got power crept heavily. Or, more like, sent into oblivion because nerfing Counter skills in human encounters is a niche of a niche in itself, so... It made sense why she'd have such interesting coin power conditions.
    In terms of damage, +50% when all stars align is... Sufficient :) Gaining haste is a nice addition, but I would argue she's speedy enough (4-7 was it?), maybe some speed floor raising condition would be a nice sidegrade

    I know Zwei is normally about defending, but my first thought on buffing Zwei Sinclair was actually making him a bit more offensively focused, making him deal more damage to targets with tremor, and his skill 3 dealing extra damage on tremor burst based on the tremor potency on the enemy. I know it doesn’t exactly fit the Zwei style of being a shield, but I think it would still make him an interesting id.

    Aight let's do some game design PhD going atcha
    For Sinclair, if solo runs are a concern, we can do what some other units already done, and instead of capping the total amount of protection, we could cap, how many times it could be applied from a source, that would be less of an overall "This ID has a innate debuff" which could become a mentality to bully him further to an "Oh, it's a failsafe mechanism"
    Same result, different feeling to it
    as for special protection related effect, it could be "Protection Retention"
    "If you endured damage while having at least X amount of protection, gain Y amount of protection next turn"
    Chef Gregor was pretty clean , except of the fact that you forgor Rhino Meursalt applying limbillion bleed count
    As for Rodya, I think you could've gone for a bit higher clashes with her condition, it's not like we don't have 00s that roll oddly high, but at the same time, since she is the "Punish defense coin" archetype, I would be a bit confused with what to do a swell

      Slight problem, a lot of abnormalities in focused encounters do not have defense skills, and bosses have fixed skill cycles/conditions. So, the ability would become entirely pointless on bosses or focused encounters, which is... a lot of the game.

  • @sporepda
    @sporepda Рік тому +1

    I think the ID kit has to tell a story in its own right. So two buffs i came up with:
    Sloshing Ish: She gains shield on losing clashes as skill effect, not passive. And her new passive is: 'On losing clash, gain 1 attack power next turn (up to 3)'. Basically, she is a loser, she hates her EGO, but it is, undeniably, strong. So she wins... trough losing. I also think it would be fun if she dealt a little bit of blunt damage to the enemies who attack her while she is shielded, just as a fun little extra
    Zwei Rodion: This one is a bit tricky. She desperately needs better numbers. Gaining 20 shield from her passive is just not enough, it should be at least 40, or hell, make it uncapped, not like she can actually gain that much potency in relevant content anyway. Either way, thats not the point. What i think she lacks is things to do after she has enough poise count to maximize her passive. So why not start getting poise potency too? Basically, on her S2, instead of gaining more count while at 15+ shield, she now gains poise potency. Meaning what after building up her defense, she now can go on the offense, which is fitting for Zwei ID i think. And her S3 gains additional effect on coin 3 - 'At 15+ shield, spend all shield to deal blunt damage equal to shield spend' - just so she has more interactions with shield, as she should imo
    Of course, these not all changes to them, its more of a general idea of what i think can be done with IDs. Where are also slight changes to coins and values, but well, its a youtube comment, i cant go too in-depth here

    i got two takes on mariachis sinclairs buff: make him walmart salsu or make him a more dodgey boi
    the first fix idea, to make him walmart salsu is simple: make him gain attack powerups with his dodge and than let him go for the clashes (and power up his overweak skills)
    that would solve his weakness but change his concept, to dodge all the time till he got the chance to attack, and it feels wrong to let a sinner have two identitys with resembling concepts
    thats why i like the second idea more: keep his concept to be a dodgey boi, but better
    to do that, make him gain 2 or 3 poise counts from his dodge and make him "drain" sanity from enemys with his passive
    at last make his overweak skills and sinking get stronger with poise count and criticals (maybe add sinking deluge to his skill 3 critical effect) and done

  • @kakoytazabar
    @kakoytazabar Рік тому

    Sloth Ish: The only change in Sloth Ishmael I'd make is that on lose she gives Tremor and Rapture count, not potency.
    Talisman Sinclair:
    Increase Talisman count to 10. Currently Sinclair with his passive active, if he's in a rapture team, can easily rack up to 9 Talismans a turn. Without the passive, it's still 6, if the enemy has rapture. Which just makes him take a tiny amount of damage, while negating his whole gimmick. 10 would help with the problem of Rapture Potency outside of MD.
    Defence skill removing 1 talisman, instead of giving it. Currently there is no way to NOT stack talismans, even if you don't want to. That defence skill could mitigate some unfortunate situations and make it easier to pilot, while making his defence skill more meaningful.
    S3 being able to apply talisman even under 5 count. It's too hard to satisfy the condition, especially on UT4, so it would be nice, if Sinclair's skill 3 was "Spend Talisman on Self; Give that much Talisman.". Makes it easier to manage + makes it so that you can distac talismans easier.
    Mariachi Sinclair:
    S1 has [Clash Win] Inflict 1 sinking count. That way he'd have a stronger support for the sinking teams and do better what he has to do, which is "be higher sanity than an opponent".
    S2 REALLY needs +1 coin power buff, so it becomes +2. As of now it's REALLY hard to get the +2 coin power buff outside of the MD2. With the increasing strength of a challenge, currently Mariach Sinclair is in a dire need of being able to win some clashes. Of course, he's supposed to use his defence skills as a gimmic, but it doesn't feel good to just rely on that. This change should help at least a little bit with his clashing.
    S3 would also benefit the Sinking teams with [Clash Win] Inflict 1 sinking count.
    Blade Lineage Cuttroat Outis:
    Bump up passive on UT4 to be "Deal 20% damage to targets below 50% HP", just like with her S3.
    Skill 2 should give her +3 Poise count. With her high Potency gain on S1, it is really hard to stack poise for when it matters. 3 Poise count should be enough to improve that.
    Skill 1 should give 5 poise, so that its passive would be online after the first use.

    Imo the current zwei Sinclair's intended gameplay cycle is:
    Trying to win clashes with s2 and s3
    Gaining aggro in the process, and once the enemies are locked into him, rely on the 2protection s1 which will most likely lose clashes( and so he won't need to gain aggro with s1. I've been grinding a lot of zwei only md2h and I can see that his kit is working as intended,
    Except for two flaws,
    1) he rolls low on both s1 and s2 but only s1 covers for his failures
    2)his tremor doesn't exist.
    I agree with all the changes except the s1 aggro, he's tankish but not enough to take aggro every single turn.

    Idea for a sloshmael buff.
    Increased coin power on skills 1+2 for obvious reasons, they’re incredibly weak.
    Not too sure what to do with the attack effects, cause I don’t use her for… obvious reasons.
    In any case, I feel a great buff for her final skill is to remove the rupture, and keep everything else, however, add an effect that means the tremor burst doesn’t inflict stagger damage, but instead directly deal damage based on the opponents tremor. Would be a great way for tremor teams to exchange their gimmick into actual damage.

    I think the main issue with defense power down on Rodion is that, almost all defense skills in the game their abilities proc on use (I’d be fine if it’s something like “every time this evades deal 5 SP damage,” but some enemies will have a guard that gives a buff automatically and you can’t do anything about it. I just wish if you broke a guard the buff wouldn’t go thru.) I think it’s less of an issue with enemies either not using defense skills or evade and such, I find it more that applying it usually does not do much of anything. Which is really sad to me I honestly feel that defense power down on coins or skills should apply before an enemy uses a defense skill.

  • @RichtofenE115
    @RichtofenE115 Рік тому

    I have an idea for how Zwei Rodion can be fixed and made better
    TL;DR: Generally increased her ability to gain Poise Count and gave her a bit of utility and self sustainability with Defense Level Up, scroll down if you just want to read the changes (Also make her a bit speedier, NO HASTE!!!)
    The first thing I thought when I first saw Zwei Rodion, even after seeing her Uptie 4, was how little she has in terms of coin effects
    Not to mention it takes considerable build up to finally get her to to 15 shield, and even then her Skill 3 is so milquetoast that it might as well have no coin effects at all
    So the idea here was to speed up the path to 15+ shield as well as leaning more into the idea of her being a higher damage, but still Zwei, tank (We are your shield and all that)
    First thing was giving her Skill 1 average numbers, because what were they thinking giving her an 8 total?
    Next was giving her Defense Level Up, I know one of the rules was to not add anything, but as you said in the video you added a different status to LCCB Rodion because it fits the lore and ID theme
    I added it because she seemingly doesn't care if she gets hit so she doesn't really notice the pain from the excitement of finally having something to do, and the two newest Zwei ID's have it so it works in that regard too lol
    Also added some utility to the second Coin of her Skill 2 not only to better align with the creed of the Zwei, the other part of this comes later
    (I was thinking of giving her Skill 2 a Coin Power boost based on a status threshold but decided against it as she would be a bit too close in similarity to Zwei Fause and Gregor in terms of effects, and her Skill 3 already has that so there's that too)
    Now for Skill 3, the one that got the most additions
    Is it overtuned? Maybe...
    Do I care? Eh..?
    Point is I kinda stole BL Sinclair's Skill 2 effect by adding another total shield threshold and when reached that effect will trigger
    Next, taking inspiration from Yi Sang this time, her Fragile count now increases when landing a crit with the first 2 Coins, 1 each
    On top of that the third Coin deals additional damage based on whether the first 2 Coins were crits as well as making the Fragile on hit to make it more consistent
    Sure she has to land crits to get that additional 2 Fragile and it will be difficult to get 20 shield to take advantage of the free crits, but at some point during a fight she will be able to outpace the amount Poise Count potentially being used
    Especially if you are running a full Zwei team getting a guaranteed Poise Count whenever Gregor uses his Skill 3, granted her Combat Passive is active of course
    I told you there was a reason for the DLU (Defense Level Up)
    Her passive will now have her gain additional Poise count based on how high her DLU is thereby letting her build up shield just a bit faster
    I also increased the amount of Wrath owned needed to activate it as even though the point was to make her Poise Count gain more consistent, having it take that little bit longer will help balance this out
    I would have given her Haste as well but I think it would be better if her speed was increased to 2-6, just as slow as Sinclair's minimum speed (Both are in Section 6) but itching to fight somebody (Excited at the prospect of caving some skulls)
    Finally, Limbus Company is my first Project Moon game and this could be wildly unbalanced, but personally I like the idea of Rodion actually doing what I think they were trying to go with
    PS: Keep it up with the great content ESGOO
    PPS: Just had a thought, if enough people post their ideas for ID fixes would you make a video rating whatever ones peak your interest the most?

    i know this ID is good but it just bugs me:
    R corp heathcliff's charge implementation is just laughable, not a single skill is using it, it's only there for a passive (gain wrath resonance amount of charge, on 5+ charge gain 1 haste and attack power up)
    and ammo is really annoying, he's really good if it's there but once it runs out, every skill expect S3 is completely useless
    i'll be removing all the random stuff that fixes ammo only on UT4 (gaining ammo on wave changes, actually reloading on 10+ charge) to make it reasonable on every uptie level:
    replace the wackass "Raring to Graze" passive with Restocking: 2 wrath resonance on activate; turn end: spend 3 charge to gain 1 ammo
    S1 now adds 3 charge instead of 2 on use and S3 gets [On Kill] gain 8 Charge

    @d8RAV0b Рік тому

    This is a bad take and there are two reasons why it is.
    First, it was not taken into account that every 3 offensive levels = 1 final power. Because of that 00- Zwei Rodion effectively turns into a 000 Saisu Sang or 000 Sinq Don, but with their in battle setup (that could be lengthy or even impossible) replaced with a team building condition which was made extremely trivial to fulfil by the addition of the Haste effect.
    Second, when making balancing considerations the paralysis status eff. was extremely undervalued, treated as almost irrelevant. Ye, the status effect that can act as a let's say 14 (not a typo) plus coin drop - deemed insignificant. With that in mind the changes of the Gregors 1st skill which would make it the most damaging S1 in the game that applies 2 para this turn + next turn, and the Rodions S1 which can clash well while almost always being first or second in the action sequence - look completely absurd especially on the 00- IDs. But let's not forget, the IDs also have paralysis on the 3rd skill, making it so that each of the two star IDs have 4 decent to exceptional skills in their kit that cripple almost every abnormality in the game.
    These mistakes create quite ironic situation when considering the bleed count fiasco.

But once she gets more counter enemies I think she will blossom like a violent baby, and i find your buffs make her worse for this hahahah, Bludgeon gaining that boost means that Nobody There's abberant copies that effect which I would hate, trading the S2 Blunt boost off for a raw power gain just gives more power to a clone counter, basically I would hate all of your buffs to general usability because it invalidates her specific niche 😅
    she was unapologetically what carried me through that part of Kromer Chapter™ and I like the "next skill" even now that I'm past it and Uptie 4 is out BECAUSE it specifically nerfs clone counters that have very little control over what comes next. But that's my thoughts
