Summary of "A Better Tutorial for Limbus Company"

Game Overview: Limbus Company, developed by Project Moon, is known for its complex mechanics and often criticized tutorials. This video aims to clarify the combat system, which is a source of confusion for many new players. The tutorial is structured into three main sections: terminology and skills, Clashing Mechanics, and EGO resources.

Key Points Covered:

1. Terminology and Skills:

• Skills are essential and consist of:
  • Damage Types: Slash, Pierce, Blunt (each skill has one).
  • Sin Affinities: Seven types (Wrath, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, Gloom, Pride, Envy).
  • Base Power and Coins: Base Power indicates skill strength, while coins represent the number of hits a skill can make.
• Sanity: Affects the chance to hit heads when flipping coins during clashes. Starts at 0 and can be modified.

2. Clashing Mechanics:

• Clashing: The primary method to avoid damage and gain Sanity.
  • Initiated by selecting a skill and dragging it to the enemy’s skill slot.
  • Clash outcomes depend on total Clash Power, which is calculated based on skill power and coin flips.
• Offense Level: Influences Clash Power; higher Offense Level increases the chance to win clashes.
• Sanity Gain: Winning clashes grants Sanity, with additional rewards for consecutive wins.

3. EGO Resources:

• EGO Skills: Powerful abilities that consume EGO resources and Sanity.
  • Different EGO levels (ZAYIN, TETH, HE) indicate strength.
  • EGO costs vary and can provide significant damage.
• EGO Mechanics:
  • EGO Skills only spend Sanity upon use.
  • Non-Base EGO can have Awakening and Corrosion versions, with unique mechanics.
  • EGO resources are essential for activating passives and enhancing abilities.

Key Tips:

• Familiarize yourself with Damage Types and Sin Affinities for effective combat.
• Pay attention to Offense Levels to maximize Clash Power.
• Use EGO strategically, as they can turn the tide of battle but require careful resource management.
• Winning clashes is often more reliable for gaining Sanity than defeating higher-level enemies.
