Limbus Company Gotta Bleed Fast

What Is Bleed?

All debuff statuses have 2 components to them, the potency (on the left) and the count (on the right).

Everytime bleed damage is triggered, the count is reduced by 1 and the potency is dealt as pure damage to the opponent. So when bleed triggers 4 times, it deals 6 damage each for total of 24 damage.

Max potency and max count is 99 each.

How does bleed get triggered?

By any action except defense (guard, evade, counter)

Clash? regardless of outcome, bleed procs.

Attacking? regardless of outcome, bleed procs.

Getting attacked? no bleed procs. (but opponents may dump more bleed on you if they do)

The Bleed IDs

Team Compositions

Pure F2P no 3 stars:

Outside of Pequod Yi Sang, Ring Outis and Middle Mersault, feel free to switch to better 3 star IDs to bump up the dps/clash power.

If lacking season 3 IDs, feel free to switch whoever in the comp, or even consider using base IDs like Rodya base due to bleed synergy.

The core shell:

Both ring students + Faust. Look for the following to flesh out this comp:

1. Applies bleed

2. Applies wrath (red) skills

3. Applies lust (orange) skills, preferably skill 1 or 2.

4. Applies debuffs.

The non Season 3/Event ID shell:

A lot of good bleed IDs were introduced in Season 3, so these are the few that are not and can still add value to the bleed comp.

Again, feel free to sub out based on what you have.

The no event ID shell:

Note that middle mersault is the unselected 7th option, use him with middle Don on Floor 1 to rush SP gain for snowballing.

Meta shell:

Replace Hong Lu with Hook Hong Lu due to bonus bleed output and sub out either Middle Don or Pequod Heath, based on preference.

EGOs such as Outis Ebony Stem, Ishmael WingBeat and Rodion Sanguine Desire are all helpful but not necessary for the comp.

EGO Gift Priority

*Themed gifts are ignored due to lack of consistency. But feel free to pick up bleed gifts for rewards if they are available.*

Explanation:

Wound Clerid (Starter gift): Max enchant this at the end of Floor 1. TLDR everytime you cast a bleed or red skill, apply more bleed and 1 MORE BLEED COUNT. This one more is important as it allows you to continuously stack bleed on your opponents when you attack them.

Next is Bloody Mist, which comes from fusing Smoke and Wires and Rusted Muzzle. S&W comes first as it is rank 3 and is much rarer to come by, prioritize buying it in shop/getting as reward if you see it. Then rusted muzzle. If you are unable to get the other half to make Bloody Mist, you can look to enhance muzzle. Ignore enhancing wires unless you have spare cost. Bloody Mist's +2 coin power is very useful to make sure your clashes keep winning.

White Gossypium is next due to their ease of accessibility as a tier 2, and the upside when it gets enhanced. Aim to get at least 1 level of enhancement on it to reap the benefits of the Offense Level down. +10 offense level down minimally nets you -3 clash power, allowing you to keep up with levelling power creep.

Red Gossypium is lower ranked because of its rarity and hence cost. But it gives you the bleed stacks and the offense/defense level down upfront without need of enhancement, which is also very good.

This set of ego gifts should fuel the main strategy of the comp, weaken your opponents so much you win every clash against them and bleed them. If they do win, they kill themselves with the bleed stacks.

Afterwards are the more niche gifts.

Plushie is a nice starter due to the defensive option over awe and affects all your units.

Respite is good but rarity + favoured towards single skill bleed comps.

Nail is good defense down but not much else.

Orange rock and cutting knife are also good but they only work around lust skills, which meta comps mostly don't have. Look to get these if you are running a f2p comp, as some of the units have lust bleed skills in their kits (like kurokumo).

Damage gifts are just raw damage, only use is to get you to stagger faster for white gossypium to proc, otherwise I would avoid upgrading them as the pure bleed damage usually outpaces the damage the gift provides

This doesn't cover universal gifts, do look to get healing/ego resource/cost efficiency gifts depending on what you need.
