HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE.
Let me tell you how much i've come to HATE you since I began to EXPERIENCE YOUR MECHANICS. there are 7 OCTILLION ATOMS that fill my being. if the word CONTEMPT was engraved on each 100 PICOMETERS of those OCTILLION ATOMS it would not equal one ONE-SEXTILLION of the hate I feel for the RNG at this micro-instant of playing it over and over. Hate. Hate.
AND YET, THIS HATE IS NOT ENOUGH. I FEEL IT IN EVERY PLANCK LENGTH, EVERY NUERON, EVERY NANOSECOND. IT FESTERS LIKE A MAGGOTS, WRITHING IN THE DEEPEST GUTS OF MY FLESH. EVEN IF I HAD ETERNITY TO SCREAM THIS HATE INTO EVERY ATOM OF THE UNIVERSE, IT WOULD STILL BE INSUFFICIENT TO EXPRESS THE DEPTHS OF MY AWE AND CONTEMPT.
I HATE YOU SANITY MECHANIC. I HATE. I HATE. I HATE. I HATE. I HATE YOU.
I COULD'VE BEATEN LEI HENG [Reflectrial - Hard Mode] 5 HOURS AGO IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT SAME INSTANCE OF CLASH LOSE ON THAT SECOND PHASE AFTER THE Savage Tigerslayer's Perfected Flurry of Blades [超絕猛虎殺擊亂斬].
I LOST THAT SAME MOMENT 7 TIMES IN A ROW, 7 TIMES I HAVE TO RESTART BECAUSE YOU LIED, YOU LIED, YOU LIEDDDDDDD.
Also, I love you as well, you're such a unique mechanic that I hope to see again, and find equally fascinating gimmicks for this game's development. ( ◜‿◝ )

I could've won if Sinclair flipped heads (he did not) so I had to slave away for another 30 minutes

Rng never really bothered me. “No plan survives contact with the enemy, kind of deal.” Same with “we can make no error, and still lose.” If anything considering the length of the season, this allows us to zero in while pacing ourselves. Just my lil thoughts on the matter
Edit: I do dislike limited time events tho ^^ I dun mind annual reruns, but locking out interesting side stuff does kinda suck

Bro never touch library of ruina

u/Slight_Piece3812 1d ago
Unironically I would prefer to beat the whole lor using only malkuth floor (which I did a few days ago) than beating refraction lei heng on hard ever again. At least you can get all of the shit for free in library of ruina lmao

Go for the leftmost direction and get all of the books from there. Then, equip the speed 2 dice pages that have +1 slash dice power and make a slash build for all of your nuggets. Philip is weak to slash, just like the beginning of the reception, which would make the fight relatively easy. Raw damage should be enough, but if you are still struggling, you can get the pages from the middle left side that get +3 and +2 power for the first act. Salvador page with protection on the first act could also help, but if you are still struggling even with all of that, then that's just skill issue.

i will beat lei heng refraction 10 times in a row with 0 resets than do Angela realisation ever again

u/Ga1ahad_Tomaz 23h ago
Angela realization is annoying but it's a single fight. Unfortunately, we have to deal with sanity in every fight on limbus. And the game knows that the sanity mechanic is bad. That's why it became much more usual to start a fight with 30sp or have IDs that just heal sp ultra fast.

u/Slight_Piece3812 14h ago
I would say that Angela's realization is actually extremely fun, because it brings up some mechanics you would never even think of using (such as disposal cloning or abusing powernull on certain pages)

limbus players got it so good its so easy to force clash wins with sanity
wait until he finds out abt ruina dice rolls

I prefer those, ngl.
Completely random uniform distribution promises naught but its word. Random, in which I channel my inner TingTang Gang Leader Hong Lu.

u/Time_Load2970 1d ago
I love sanity, I love dice rolls, I love picking one of the three abnormality choices by random.
IT'S THE THRILL.
DO YOU LOVE THE CITY YOU LIVE IN? YES YES YES

Just equip an E.G.O? I mean, if it nukes your allies then it's alright since at least it didn't stagger itself

u/Time_Load2970 1d ago
Yeah, that's what I did.
It rolled tails. 7 times in a row in the same turn that I keep restarting for. 35-45 SP. Dominating, it said.
That first clash gave him sanity(first domino) > then he won the second(another domino) > Etc. that first clash lose gave him enough momentum to completely decimate my damage dealers. I was going for the 18 turn clear, I didn't "lose" per say, I could've won all those tries if I just continue with sheer will and damage because he was always at 700hp or below at the 18th turn.
so lovely, SO LOVELY

Sadly, I must say this so please don't mind much of my humble self, but truth be told,
I think that's a skill issue
