I explained that IDs kit to my friend in the simplest terms possible. Get poise = better skills. Line up 3 pride if possible. Use at least 3 BL units in the team. (Faust and Yi Sang) if the red skill says "losing" then you win that fight.
Deployment order is actually such useful advice for me. I always thought that the priority went to the fastest ID in a turn for some reason and never rubbed my braincells together to realise what was actually happening.
I'd recommend people to not immediately send people interested in Limbus these esgoo videos. While it is very nice visual guides; being told to do 40 minutes of homework first to play a game is extremely offputting to many people and may have the opposite effect than you intend. Better for them to experiment and only offer these videos if they are *extremely* confused or actively *want* to learn more.
Mirror dungeon makes nearly everything overpowered, and should NEVER be used as a benchmark for if anything is good or bad. Just because Bloody Mist is LUDICROUSLY OVERPOWERED doesn't mean bleed is a good status to play around outside of md3
A little Nuance with bleed from the other damaging status is that it it does not trigger stagger even if the enemy’s HP drops below the stagger threshold.
Can you please make a tutorial on how read letters and interpret the alphabet, I think reading comprehension is a really big limiting factor to fully understanding the game Also I only have writing comprehension, hence how I was able to write this comment (I cannot read it however)
something interesting about redirection- the original target of the skill can always redirect that attack at them, even if they have lower speed. what i mean by this is if, in the speed example, hong lu hand 10^99 bind on him, and he was the original target, he could still choose to take the clash from sous-chef bongy in the same way as is shown in the clip. this is different from Ruina, where speed overrides original targeting, and there is no way to return that clash if the original target is too slow.
Another thing PM fix by Fan request. Which ties why PM sucks at tutorial as they suck at coding too. Ask anyone, is just a truth of the world. "Read the manual" is rule #1 for PM fans after all
Something you didn't mention during speed and redirection that I feel is somewhat important: unlike in ruina, the original target of the skill can always redirect to themselves regardless of speed value. If mariachi sinclair gets a very nice 2, with an enemy tatgetying him with 4 speed, you don't have to worry about targetting that enemy with your 10 speed Cinq Don because Sinclair can still take the clash
I feel that teaching the order of execution of enemy skills of abnos is more important, as is the same as several enemies encounter just that each body part is concider its own individual I in fact have to play test it because No one took the time to do so.
While this game doesn't strictly tell you how to do a lot of it's nitty grittier nuances, you can easily find out all of this by simply reading the effects and experimenting for yourself. Granted, we're Project Moon fans, so that's asking a bit much XD Thank you for the vid all the same though!
Thanks ESGOO, now I can recruit even more people into the Limbus Company busride and explain mechanics with just your videos instead of taking hours upon hours!! I appreciate your videos
People tend to undervalue Speed in regular encounters, since targeting is out of the player's hands, but it is just as valuable in manipulating how a fight progresses. While you cannot change targeting, you still have control of the order of events (provided you have the speed advantage). The key piece of this is Defensive Skills. Defensive Skills do not clash, which means the target of the Defensive Skill still acts at their original speed value. The allows you to effectively "redirect downwards," as you would in a focused encounter. Skills/EGO with attack weight, or if you simply have more Skill Slots than the opponent means you can cripple or kill the opponent before they would act. So while finicky, you still can manipulate how a regular encounter will progress. Defensive Skills can also help you control opponent Defensive Skills. If an Evade or Block is directed to your Defensive Skill, neither will actually trigger, letting you avoid its effects. This can prevent situations like enemies dodging all of your skills in succession. Alternatively, if an enemy is using a Counter, using Defensive Skills can prevent a squishier ID from taking damage (as Counters trigger from the first attack the user is hit by). Though using Defensive Skills does prevent the ID from attacking, so it is a case by case basis whether you try for damage, or try to manipulate the encounter.
[9:20] Small extra note I'll throw in here - Bleed damage does NOT trigger the unit inflicted with Bleed uses a Defense Skill - even when the Defense Skill is a Counter.

I watched this just for the fun of it, but I will say that I NEVER knew the tip about how aoe skills will prioritize untargeted skill slots. Crazy I learned something new after all the hours I've already put into it.
Most of my learning of the mechanic come from playing mirror dungeon and watching other people playing the mirror dungeon, when watching people play you can understand an id or ego better since you can see what it do in action rather than just reading huge amount of text.

Yesss, thank you. Your first tutorial is amazing but it lacked alot of the more niche info that I was considering making some sort of advanced tutorial video.
You can redirect downwards in non-focused encounters. You just have to use a defensive skill with the fast sinner that is clashing, so all your other faster sinners will go first untill the enemy attacks your defensive one.
Man this is such a good video with souch necessary information. The amount of grief I would have saved if I knew I could drop some dead weight to give cleaner Don some extra turns is unbelievable.

4:45 Not sure if anyone's already commented this or not but certain EGO have special targeting rules in human fights, for instance Snagharpoon and both Dimension Shredders always target the rearmost unit. Not as relevant to the point about AoE/attack weight but still worth knowing about, especially for Hard MD regular fights on the later floors.
Good stuff! enjoy these tutorials alot, Given your content was a good part of the reason why I picked up Limbus. All your stuff is always a good watch, keep at it!
Thanks, I stopped at 4-48 pre canto V(I'm bad lol). Just came back to this game because I was watching my friend finish Canto VI and the bgm was sick. I didn't realize how much I didn't understand about this game until watching this video series :^)
One weird quirk Ive learned about managing the order of ordering which of your attacks happen in. From my own anecdotal testing it seems that skills that are being used for clashes, followed by one sided attacks, and then at the lowest priority, defense skills. Using the super bongy example lets say we only have one ID with two actions. We are faster than the bongy so we can change one of the two actions into a defense skill and have the other one attack one sidedly, regardless of which coin slot you pick. For manipulating attack order without a defense skill (like say you have a buff skill that you want to go first so that all of the other coins that turn benefit from it), you look to the enemy that will go first (you can find this by changing the clashing arrows to the one that reveals the order in which enemies attack by revealing their arrows one at a time in the order of priority) and set the skill you want to happen first to clash with that one. The weird arrow thing is mostly used when multiple enemies have the same speed on their coins.
270 hours and I didn't know the order of sinners mattered when giving extra skill slots! Great tutorial, this game really needs more explanations sometimes
I just finished Ruina and was thinking of starting Limbus and I was going through your channel. Finished watching your guide out of curiosity and look what we have here. You're pretty funny and I'll be subbing, thanks for the videos.
People are 100% gonna use 18:37 as a "oh they are the strongest IDs" in their head. Though ngl you are not gonna go wrong with any of the 5 shown there.
You can also use a variant of the "clashing downward" technique in regular encounters by using a defensive skill. Since defensive skills do not clash, if your other units are fast enough they have a change to stagger or kill the target.
The one piece of advice to the ending part - as ESGOO said, eventually, by the ending of Canto IV, you'll get good enough of a team to easily do mirror dungeons. MD means battle pass levels (and lunacy), which translates into a lot of different goodies, starting from enkephalin boxes, to a couple of EGOs. But the best part are shard boxes (specifically, yellow ones) - sufficient amount of them means you can get very good IDs at dispenser, avoiding excessive gambling (blasphemy, i know) whatsoever. I believe free battle pass will have enough boxes to get at least 1, maybe even 2 000 IDs, which can be a game changer. It takes time to grind, but payoff of BP is worth it.
Thanks for that. The very first moment all my Sinners went to battle at the same time my eyes went sideways and I was like "Yup. I totally know what is hapenning! Oooh that bum went splat!". This tutorial will give me some sliver of understanding what is going on.
Fun fact. You can use guard, evade or counter to offset enemy Evade and making them not evading your attack for the rest of the turn. also on focus encounter if you do a solo run and have a plenty of skill slot Ex. You have 3 skill slots and all of enemy have same speed, You can use evade on the leftmost slot and select the any enemy that not targeting the leftmost slot to evade all their attack.
I’ve been teaching people how to play limbus mainly because I’m somehow the best at it in my friend group (I’m the only one who has beat Canto 6, I started near the start of this year, and the person who has been playing since day one is still stuck on 6-32) so this will be a great thing to point to when I need to explain things to them, WHICH I SHOULDN’T BECAUSE 2 OF THEM HAVE NOW BEATEN CANTO 5 AND THE OTHER TWO ARE ONLY BEHIND BECAUSE THEY AIN’T OBSESSED LIKE THE REST OF US
I've played the game for about 800 hours. And honestly surprised at how much I didn't know Like skill slots in focused encouter and manipulating attack weight which both have actually helped me a bit, like seriously giving magic bullet outis a secoond slot on my liu team instead of putting a 6th charater when I don't have a good burn id for 6th charater has been insanely useful
I've played this game for nearly 300 hours, and watching this vid was the first time id heard that the targets of AoE skills are effected by your other clashes. I always thought they were just random.
I'm not 100% on this info, but I'm pretty sure aggro increases the amount of times your skill slot is represented when your enemies choose their target. In example, if you have KCHong Lu and some non aggro user with one slot each, normal targeting will pick both options at a 50% rate, but if Hong Lu has 2 aggro on a turn, the targeting can choose the non aggro'd ID at a 25% chance and Hong Lu's skill slot will be chosen at a 75% chance. (1 skill slot + 2 aggro) / (2 total skill slots + 2 aggro)

I didn’t think I would need this tutorial, but man I’m glad I did. I had no idea that leaving units out gives you more skill slots. I’m never bringing my shitty ishmael ID to a focused encounter again.
Thnks for the tutorials,i love limbus but sometimes i get overwhelmed with all of the mechanics but your basic tutorial helped me so much, sometime in the future all core ids and egos for all teams 8 hr video and i will watch it happily
Thank you very much. You've covered enough stuff I think for a person willing to read to actually be able to figure out the rest (Probably). Will return to your channel and consume more when I bump into a head-scratcher. Cheers!
I kinda figured out the mechanics(especially how important status effects were) when I did the Dongbaek fight. I realized real quick that I couldn't unga bunga my way through the content and had to actually play smart.
To be fair, I think status effects were pretty clear to any turn-based RPG veteran. Having potency and count is something I am personally familiar with
Tip for anyone who is new to this game: If you get cinq sinclair, you just win. (obviously still level everyone fairly) No it's not a joke, I've had him since my first pull in limbus and he has carried me through thick and thin (end game). If you're "lucky" he is a *very* solid investment as Esgoo states, and activates neurons with his big numbers on pretty easy conditionals to reach. His numbers will make a world of difference, the only problem is almost every ego Sinclair gets is going against how he plays. Which does not make me hate N clair (if you don't know, you don't)
Me starting Library of Ruina and using your newly published tutorial to understand the game sightly more: Maybe I'll save this video for when I come back to Limbus Me coming back to Limbus less than a week ago: ...he's in my walls! HE'S IN MY GODDAMN WALLS!!!
Just a few days ago I watched a streamer give a chance to Limbus and he was suffering the whole way through the tutorial and dropped the game before the "opening" happened, and honestly I cant blame him for it. Limbus desperately needs a better tutorial.
Anyone know how attack weight manipulation works with non-ego aoes (like maidshu's skill 2)? I assume it's similar but since you can't see the extra targets when choosing the skill I'm not sure how to best optimize it.
There is a way to redirect in nonfocused encounters, which is by using EGO that targets a specific slot ex: ishmael egos targeting the rearmost unit. While it does not often come in handy, it does technically work.
Are you excited for the triumphant inevitable return of Philip to Limbus company? Where we shall have a 12 wave boss fight with all 12 sinners. Along with the Philip ID for the whole cast.
Man, I didn't know that the order of your sinners determined who was going to receive an extra skill slot first, and I didn't know that bringing fewer units into combat allowed you to get even more slots, Now I understand why dongbaek was beating me up so hard everytime I fought her
Redirecting downwards is pretty useful, but make sure that your target actually dies or staggers. The first boss of the Canto 2 dungeon got a few cheap shots at me because "revives next turn when killed" apparently meant "can't die, full heals at round start if at 1" or I got caught in some obscure edge case. This would be less frustrating if it hadn't worked on the minions that had the exact same mechanic.

The weird arrow thing is mostly used when multiple enemies have the same speed on their coins.
Man, i wished esgoo said it as "you need to read them a bit because some might make you get stuck and cry". Get it
A basic tutorial and an intermediate tutorial…
I suppose this directly implies an advanced tutorial.
uGuardian jumpscare
270 hours and I didn't know the order of sinners mattered when giving extra skill slots! Great tutorial, this game really needs more explanations sometimes
I just finished Ruina and was thinking of starting Limbus and I was going through your channel.
Finished watching your guide out of curiosity and look what we have here.
You're pretty funny and I'll be subbing, thanks for the videos.
People are 100% gonna use 18:37 as a "oh they are the strongest IDs" in their head.
Though ngl you are not gonna go wrong with any of the 5 shown there.
17:19 mildly disappointed you didn't use Canto 2 when saying unloved when it's called "The Unloving"
Woah thank you I am now slightly less illiterate
You can also use a variant of the "clashing downward" technique in regular encounters by using a defensive skill. Since defensive skills do not clash, if your other units are fast enough they have a change to stagger or kill the target.
The one piece of advice to the ending part - as ESGOO said, eventually, by the ending of Canto IV, you'll get good enough of a team to easily do mirror dungeons. MD means battle pass levels (and lunacy), which translates into a lot of different goodies, starting from enkephalin boxes, to a couple of EGOs. But the best part are shard boxes (specifically, yellow ones) - sufficient amount of them means you can get very good IDs at dispenser, avoiding excessive gambling (blasphemy, i know) whatsoever.
I believe free battle pass will have enough boxes to get at least 1, maybe even 2 000 IDs, which can be a game changer.
It takes time to grind, but payoff of BP is worth it.
Thanks for that. The very first moment all my Sinners went to battle at the same time my eyes went sideways and I was like "Yup. I totally know what is hapenning! Oooh that bum went splat!". This tutorial will give me some sliver of understanding what is going on.
Fun fact.
You can use guard, evade or counter to offset enemy Evade and making them not evading your attack for the rest of the turn.
also on focus encounter if you do a solo run and have a plenty of skill slot Ex. You have 3 skill slots and all of enemy have same speed, You can use evade on the leftmost slot and select the any enemy that not targeting the leftmost slot to evade all their attack.
I’ve been teaching people how to play limbus mainly because I’m somehow the best at it in my friend group (I’m the only one who has beat Canto 6, I started near the start of this year, and the person who has been playing since day one is still stuck on 6-32) so this will be a great thing to point to when I need to explain things to them, WHICH I SHOULDN’T BECAUSE 2 OF THEM HAVE NOW BEATEN CANTO 5 AND THE OTHER TWO ARE ONLY BEHIND BECAUSE THEY AIN’T OBSESSED LIKE THE REST OF US
6:15 "generally never worth it" meanwhile the pre-nerf boss stages of Canto 6...
I've played the game for about 800 hours. And honestly surprised at how much I didn't know
Like skill slots in focused encouter and manipulating attack weight which both have actually helped me a bit, like seriously giving magic bullet outis a secoond slot on my liu team instead of putting a 6th charater when I don't have a good burn id for 6th charater has been insanely useful
3:41
I love calling this "Ruina strats" whenever I end up using them, for obvious reasons
Me and my 5 nuggets equipped with gun pages for the 1 turn clear
no fucking way the universe made you post this video exactly when i needed to search it
i feel so powerful watching and understanding this video
I've played this game for nearly 300 hours, and watching this vid was the first time id heard that the targets of AoE skills are effected by your other clashes. I always thought they were just random.
I'm not 100% on this info, but I'm pretty sure aggro increases the amount of times your skill slot is represented when your enemies choose their target. In example, if you have KCHong Lu and some non aggro user with one slot each, normal targeting will pick both options at a 50% rate, but if Hong Lu has 2 aggro on a turn, the targeting can choose the non aggro'd ID at a 25% chance and Hong Lu's skill slot will be chosen at a 75% chance.
(1 skill slot + 2 aggro) / (2 total skill slots + 2 aggro)
Expert guide: Secret mechanics that you never realized that existed. Now by holding your phone with 4 fingers/backspace you'll be able to Rewind Time. Note, you could do this even before Canto X
I didn’t think I would need this tutorial, but man I’m glad I did. I had no idea that leaving units out gives you more skill slots. I’m never bringing my shitty ishmael ID to a focused encounter again.
5:44 I was so used to refraction railway I forgot this existed while doing the current canto...
Thnks for the tutorials,i love limbus but sometimes i get overwhelmed with all of the mechanics but your basic tutorial helped me so much, sometime in the future all core ids and egos for all teams 8 hr video and i will watch it happily
5:53
Thank you for teaching me how it feels like to be mindblown
getting to 7:24 when i came here specifically after repeatedly losing one battle in particular
Thank you very much. You've covered enough stuff I think for a person willing to read to actually be able to figure out the rest (Probably). Will return to your channel and consume more when I bump into a head-scratcher. Cheers!
I kinda figured out the mechanics(especially how important status effects were) when I did the Dongbaek fight. I realized real quick that I couldn't unga bunga my way through the content and had to actually play smart.
Damn, we about to get a charge potency character now, way to go ESGOO
Can’t wait for the 5 hour elite betterest limbus company tutorial.:)
Lets go! Teacher ESGOO at it again with a high quality tutorial.
To be fair, I think status effects were pretty clear to any turn-based RPG veteran. Having potency and count is something I am personally familiar with
Tip for anyone who is new to this game: If you get cinq sinclair, you just win. (obviously still level everyone fairly)
No it's not a joke, I've had him since my first pull in limbus and he has carried me through thick and thin (end game). If you're "lucky" he is a *very* solid investment as Esgoo states, and activates neurons with his big numbers on pretty easy conditionals to reach. His numbers will make a world of difference, the only problem is almost every ego Sinclair gets is going against how he plays. Which does not make me hate N clair (if you don't know, you don't)
Me starting Library of Ruina and using your newly published tutorial to understand the game sightly more: Maybe I'll save this video for when I come back to Limbus
Me coming back to Limbus less than a week ago: ...he's in my walls! HE'S IN MY GODDAMN WALLS!!!
Just a few days ago I watched a streamer give a chance to Limbus and he was suffering the whole way through the tutorial and dropped the game before the "opening" happened, and honestly I cant blame him for it. Limbus desperately needs a better tutorial.
Pat?
Anyone know how attack weight manipulation works with non-ego aoes (like maidshu's skill 2)? I assume it's similar but since you can't see the extra targets when choosing the skill I'm not sure how to best optimize it.
There is a way to redirect in nonfocused encounters, which is by using EGO that targets a specific slot ex: ishmael egos targeting the rearmost unit. While it does not often come in handy, it does technically work.
I'm ngl, I legit thought Poise meant poison and thus I dismissed reading what it does. This was informative.
holy bongy i never knew you could manipulate attack weight like that. glory to lord esgoo
Are you excited for the triumphant inevitable return of Philip to Limbus company? Where we shall have a 12 wave boss fight with all 12 sinners. Along with the Philip ID for the whole cast.
Man, I didn't know that the order of your sinners determined who was going to receive an extra skill slot first, and I didn't know that bringing fewer units into combat allowed you to get even more slots, Now I understand why dongbaek was beating me up so hard everytime I fought her
Redirecting downwards is pretty useful, but make sure that your target actually dies or staggers. The first boss of the Canto 2 dungeon got a few cheap shots at me because "revives next turn when killed" apparently meant "can't die, full heals at round start if at 1" or I got caught in some obscure edge case. This would be less frustrating if it hadn't worked on the minions that had the exact same mechanic.
