I think I remember someone talk about how "the strongest" isn't feasible in live service games like arknights, and a lot of the points apply to limbus too I think. Is the strongest: the ID the solves the most content with the least amount of effort? Or the ID that excels at trivialising the more difficult content? Maybe it's the ID that can just blow a hole through whatever is before it. Maybe the analogy makes a lot more sense in arknights rather than limbus, but some points do apply. Feel free to ignore my ramblings if you want.
again and I do largely speaking agree with this that its extremely multivariate to what one could consider the strongest, my general philosophy is the character that involves the least investment for the best results (averaged across the different categories) like… uh.
I haven’t played AK in bordering on three years now uh… Degenbrecher for example(?) or Chalter.
Crowd Control, AoE, extremely high damage, extremely high single target damage.
Reliable skill rotation (Degen being the only of her type to have auto recharge), etc.
I will say it works more FOR arknights because of how the games are respectively structured, Limbus gameplay and challenges being almost entirely speed focused while CC in Arknights is less so and more about stacked debuffs/challenges with more room for stalling as viable, but the sentiment carries over yes.
I’ve said before I don’t think numerical tier lists are very helpful neither are any things which try to discern the “best” single ID in the game.
My intent with the poll was (a) to see community opinion for the strongest ID in the list of those I would consider to all be on the same “Tier” for one reason or another.
Like I do think that HoS Ryoshuu, being the main second place, as well as almost all of the others on the poll have an argument to be made as “top tier ID(s)” especially when the term is nebulous to begin with.
I am seeing in post that the poll in question was somewhat leading, and probably I will private it because to some extent I think I’m betraying my own stance of “objective” lists being flawed so.
Help me and my couple to escape pinochetist nazi regime
If u want to help me (autistic teacher and artist) and my couple (teacher, poet, and writer) please check MATCH or Paypal
and make a donation, even $1 helps. If u can't donate money, you can send us something ( a mask to protect us from tuberculosis and covid for example) to our mailbox, or help with a reblog bc thats the only way to make this post circulate thus receiving help. And if you know of a country that helps political exiles, please comment or tag.
I currently (date 30 June 2026) have $558,21 dollars donated. You can check the old post here in my other blog.
The cost of a one-way flight ticket for two people is $1096.17 dollars.
If we wanted to migrate in a "tourist way/go to live way" we would need would $10.537 dollars or € 9.760,95 euros aprox to pay all the documents (including the passaport), the bank money I need to have to prove I deserve to migrate, the tickets, rent money I have to show, and all that. So I'm just hoping to have the money for the tickets only and not be trafficked in the process of leaving or killed before that.
Please, we need to migrate so help us to not die. This is no longer asking money to eat, this now is to not be tortured and disappeared. We can speak and read english even if not perfectly. If you know a country that allow political refugees and put less trouble to migrants, please comment.
I open a mail box so people that prefer to donate goods (like soap, shampoo, menstrual pads, detergent, tablets to keep water clean, heat patches for winter, N95 masks or similars, etc) can sent it in place of money, but (sadly) it can't be food because I have to pay to the border $39.13 for 1 kg to 500 kg of any food I could try to enter the country. I still don't know what to do about that because I have coeliac disease and flour is essential for survival. I have some rice flour, but I can’t make bread with it or survive on it.
If you want to sent something, please dm me!
Help is welcomed, we are still here trying hard, I don't want us to die.
The whole story and History under the cut
In In August 2024, I was without electricity, phone or internet because of really bad storms with lots of lightning, rain and strong winds. We even have floods. On 25 May 2025, we had our first tornado in the south of the country. This has never happened before. Then spring and summer came and all caught fire throughout different regions a number of times. There were fires every week for months. Almost every day somewhere in the country. The global warming is part of the problem, but just a consequence.
To make things worst? We still live under the dictatorship constitution made during Pinochet's dictatorship installed by USA/The West, and its politicians and families, whom own everything here and pay the owners of internet to have bots, make fake news, terror campaings, etc ploted to make the country sink and put a pinochetist nazi as president: josé antonio kast.
The war of USA (operation condor) against South America lead to the new president of Chile be a chilean german pinochetist nazi (his father a nazi liutenant that used the ratlines with the help of the Vatican to escape after exterminating ppl all over europe, for example in germany, italy, france and soviet union) and is proud of his nazi family which also helped to exterminate chileans and anyone in Chile during Pinochet's dictatorship. He even is memeber of a fundation dedicated to the creator of the dictatorship constitution, pinochetist Jaime Guzman whom Kast loves deeply since his youth. Between his people there are torturers, nazis and neo nazis, a pinochetist nephew of a german pedo christian cultist (check Colonia Dignidad among many other cults), families of german colonialists that made genocide of natives at the south of Chile and Argentina between XIX and XX century, and still kill them today, they have slaves, are pedos that kidnap kids and teens, traffick babies, etc. All upper class from european background, upper class from Chile, as well the cops, agents, and military. Kast was a piece of shit since childhood, being part of the chilean version of the nazi youth and helped Pinochet, and this past decade helped to put Bolsonaro and Milei in power in Brazil and Argentina, as well far right presidents, ministers, and organisations all over the world.
He hates and wants to enslave South America, poc, women, children, workers, etc anyone that is not like him. He is proud of his nazi family and their work helping the Pinochet Dictatorship. He is a proud pinochetist and visits torturers that are in prison for crimes against humanity as well have such criminals among his people which, among many things, put rats inside the vaginas of women, trained dogs to rape people, opened mothers to steal the babies from their wombs, forced fathers to rape their daugthers, made kids eat shit with torns and trow their bodies all over the country, mutilated people and torture them in ways so monstrous that no one in the world told you so you all can keep living without fighting them.
My couple and I need to fly the country. We survived the ex president Piñera tortures and genocide in 2019/2020, we will not survive another extermination again.
We still unemployed even when we tried everything. They are closing all cultural areas and institutions (museums, schools, workshops, galleries, libraries, sites of memory that teach and keep the testimonies, artpieces, and work of resistance against dictatorship, institutions to find the tortured and dissappeared, etc), seeking to also eliminate our area of specialisation, including the teaching of how to read. I'm very gaunt, and in all honestly I can no longer work because of my disability. I'm even losing my hair and growing grayhair. Now getting a job in our areas is asking to be tortured and killed. We lost everything we lived for.
My health is getting even worst. Chronic pain, chronic fatigue, long covid, celiac disease and lactose intolerance. Being autistic and having c-PTSD as well depression and fibromyalgia doesn't help and the violence never ends.
As far as I'm concerned, I've been on my own all my life (abusive family, my father tried to kill my mother, brothers criminals and abusers, now I'm alone and homeless bc I left the storage room in which i was living). My only support is my couple that also helps me as a caregiver and takes care of an old abusive cultist mother which pay the basic bills. My couple is the only family I have. This means having less money bc i make the bills bigger and the pinochetist nazi is gonna eliminate the money that elderly people are pay by the state for being a mother and a widow which is the money that pays for food and water and a roof over our heads. The father has already died. The neighbours are violent.
My couple fears that we end up in the streets, homeless. I fear that we will die under the dictatorship of Kast bc that's what what this ppl do, specially his family and all the other upper class families. The neighbours are gonna snitch on us. Their mother told a family of cops and agents (primal agents of dictatorship here) that she is a communist even when she is not (she an iliterate cultish evangelical with far right ideas) so we have a target in the face thanks to that. In the last big dictatorship, people (including kids and teens) were taken from their houses and jobs (specially students, univeritaries, teachers and culture workers, for example which is all our labels basically) and most never returned, being disappeared. Others were tortured so much that they died or ended up disabled and traumatized for life.

EDIT: Kast's former campaign manager said that the National Libertarian Party would be one of the parties in the government, in addition to the party founded by Kast. In other words, the Nazi-Pinochetists.
honestly the main thing is just emphasizing team flexibility when like every other contender has much more potential team synergies; it creates a situation where the obvious contender of arayoshu gets pushed down significantly since her team synergies aren’t a factor in spite of how obscenely strong she is on her own, and other picks like matthioutis and her s3 spam get completely shut out
plus, intentional or not the the previous post about maost in combination with putting her first in the poll puts kind of a spotlight on her as the “correct” choice given the qualifications you listed
i think the list you put at the bottom of your reply is honestly more where my mind goes bc like. any discussion of strongest ids is going to run into the issue of what strongest actually means, so i think picking a more specific function that the id fulfills is a good way to go about it; like, if the question was which id is the most universally useable at full power on any team, i agree that maost would be a top contender, and that kinda feels like what the poll is actually asking, but it does so by just asking who the strongest is with a bunch of caveats tacked on, which makes it feel biased towards certain ids
i will concede that i am mostly nitpicking over wording and subtext but the numerical breakdown of why maost is more broken than the modern broken ids based solely on faster skill 3 spam while ignoring literally all other factors just got in my head and i needed to vent so sorry about that
That is fair as a point and I do see where you're coming from, team synergies are something to be taken into account alongside team reliance its just a bit hard to reliably consider the difference because of how similar they are.
I will also say that the poll is definitely worded wrong, a better phrasing for what the question is would be "Best (generalist) ID" rather than strongest ID which does skew the mind towards damage more?
Like I will say I am on my own biased towards Mao Faust largely because she is just extremely consistently strong, and her standalone prowess, but that is in part because something I like to think about is opportunity cost if that makes sense?
By running an ID you lock yourself out of a slot that another sinner can take as well as out of taking another ID from the same sinner. I value Middle IDs less as individually strong units because to get the most of the three good ones, you need to run the three mediocre ones, and they force you into a specific manner of play.
I do think you raise a good point that framing it as "The Strongest ID" is poor because of the amount of different variables, which is in part why I also do want to hear people's opinions on the matter. While I think there's very little place for objective numerical rankings which is why I would consider at least 5 IDs to be at the same time "The best".
As for the point about the numbers analysis, my focus is largely on damage due to points I've made before about how the game is centred around dealing more damage in shorter periods, but there are still other aspects which make Maost good in other regards.
Weirdly high HP (267), +3 Defence level AND 2 Protection on Assist defence (which also further reduces damage because its a clashable guard)
Low stagger threshold (50% HP) also means that she is able to more reliably take the chip damage from assist defence.
+5 speed every round past 1 allows her to intercept attacks more reliably, adding onto this she also inflicts Bind on skill 4 and Mark of Decay which is effectively a Gluttony Fragility stack.
All skills (especially on Clash Win//Deathrite [haste] Activation, excluding counter) are Rupture Count positive, with Deathrite also serving to deal bonus damage from the rupture stacked.
Anyways yeah those are good points you raise and I agree the poll was poorly labelled and unintentionally biased from outside sources.
Lovely to hear your thoughts and sorry if I was pissy before I simply enjoy more constructive feedback.
I kind of want to make a poll for each of the categories now...
You know for someone that hates the Middle to a decent degree I really am kind of just a Middle member at heart.
If someone wrongs a friend/family member, fuck them and those that defend them.
I keep record and mental track of people who have done things I don't like or are generally shitty because my memory is weird. (Childhood? no. A list of reasons why I dislike Esgoo/Frey/The PM Content Creator space? Yes of course I have at least 5 reasons for any of them off the top of my head)
My Littérateurs server has a Book of Vengeance // Hall of Shame
While violence is never the answer on a systemic level... on an individual case level some people should get beat up.
I genuinely respect and agree with the Great Siblings concept of "what loyalty is". After all what's a little sacrifice for the Family.

Have people forgotten how fucking broken she is. Turn 2 setup, every turn can use skill 4, best status effect, always crits on s4, can use s3 multiple times per turn.
Maost is legitimately one of if not still the strongest ID in the game for consistency and ability to clear.
Skill 4 Requirements:
WITH 10+ Tianjiu Star's blade USE Assist Defence Activation OR Skill 3 Slotted
She needs her passive, which requires 5x Glut. Resources, two of which she can make herself due to assist defence to begin with, meaning that you only need to slot 3 Glut. Skills other than Maost this turn (or just 3 if you utilise Lordsguard).
If you are in Railway in a scenario where we don't need to worry about EGO resources for passives, she can gain +5 Tianjiu on round 1 but unless you have a skill 3 in slot for her to activate Deathrite (or if another Mao unit has Skill 3 on turn 2) on the second round, then she still activates properly on turn 3.
She gains +2 Tianjiu Stars Blade per Deathrite that SHE activates herself, up to 5 times for a gain of +10 per turn. She can also gain +5 for each time she activates Assist Defence, meaning that she can gain up to +15 per turn (or +20 if double slotted).
Her skill 4 gives 2 types of deathrite which she can activate 3 times each, which completely fufils her requirement. If activated through assist defence, this skill gives a total of +5 Tianjiu star's blade, unless Deathrite was activated earlier in the turn by other units more than 5 times. (More than 2 times and the skill becomes Tianjiu negative, however she gets 2 activations on her own due to her counter having 2 coins).
This means that every turn or if unlucky every other turn after round 2 (in railway) or round 3 (when starting without any resources) she can use a skill 4 which is positive in Rupture Count, which auto crits due to gaining 20/4 Poise.
Her competition are below:
Hermes Yi Sang:
Hermes' Georg does in fact have a stronger skill 4 but his requirements mean he can't use it as consistently as Mao Faust.
He requires his passive as well, without which he doesn't gain Hermes stacks based on unbreakable coins.
When ran in Railway, (meaning we don't subtract a round off for passive activation) (which also does not matter due to the fact that its more optimal to use defence skill round 1 no matter what) he can gain [0+ (defence), +4, +4, +4, __Clear__.], meaning a max of +4 per round so long as he only has one skill slot, with it being more realistic to gain only +3 (or only +2 but so long as you only get 1 skill 1 in those 3 turns of attack skills it should be fine).
Unfortunately, due to him only being able to gain +4 per turn in the first place, even outside of Railway (no free passive, which again does not matter) (allowed to be double slotted), he is able to get Furioso at round 5 EARLIEST.
Following when he gets 9 Hermes stacks he gains Unlock 3 which is not a real stage as he gets to Unlock stage 3+1 after using Furioso Replica.
Unlock 3+1 allows for gaining 6 Stacks in a single round (5 max if single slotted, which is negligible) meaning that every 3rd round (assuming that you gain a skill 3 every interval between Furioso) he can use Replica again.
Less consistent, extremely count negative for his status effect (as is his kit as a whole), and less predictable as it relies far more on ideal luck to get the 3rd turn rotation for Furioso.
Blade Ryoshuu:
Unlike Yi Sang, this ID is less viable in terms of being "broken" in my eyes due to, largely speaking, the setup time required.
Round 1 can kill at most 1 ally,
Round 2+ can kill 2 per turn (I know you would think it able to target 4 if you double slot but no the max times she can use Tiansha -- Slay the Heavens is 2 per turn no matter what).
She has 9 Allies to kill.
If she kills a nursefather (Rodion, Yi Sang, Outis, Hong Lu) first, then she can target 2 each following round even with one slot.
This means that for peak output of funny, she wants to use 5 consecutive turns of defence skills (if we make the assumption that enemies can't consistently kill allies, or at least specific ones), where she gains the ability to also use an attack skill on round 4 due to lack of backup units (12 sinners brought rule of Railway my hated)
While again, she may be able to outdamage Mao Faust's skill 4, even being able to theoretically do so on her skill 3, she is compensating (something something Ryoshuu's massive sword) for the fact that she has no allies which are still around to help in terms of damage bar Meursault and Gregor neither of which have anything strong enough to be even considered for comparison on this list.
Ryoshuu can use Absolute String Severance about every 3rd turn on average in my experience, which again matches the low end of frequency, and I want to be clear, in my personal ranking, the main thing that keeps Ryoshuu down to the low end of top 5 is the fact that she requires 9 specific allies and 5 rounds of setup before rocking.
Even without maximum potential, she still performs really well and hence is why is is probably 4th or 3rd on my ranking.
Bloodfiend Don Quixote:
Outscaled by Ring units
Middle Nursefather Outis:
Earliest you can get Laevatinn is round 4 HOWEVER this relies on an enemy which is able to stagger her round 1.
Also see previous statement about how I think Ryoshuu is slightly worse because she relies on having specific units or allies to give her full potential.
Knight of Despair Rodion:
Yeah I can get behind her (something something joke about getting behind Rodion? I'm being too autistic about optimisation to pretend to be horny properly) being up there. She is without doubt at least top 10, and is single handedly the best Sinking unit in general, although she is more reliant on her status effect to carry her in lieu of raw damage output when compared to an ID that can do both to extreme degrees (MAO FAUST).
Copy Paste this exact paragraph for Fauvist Rodion but replace sinking with Bleed.
Thumb nursefather Rodion:
Earliest Disposal is turn 4, requires at least 6 turns of cooldown between first Disposal activation and the next overheat timer.
Unlike others, even when single slotted she doesn't only have the 6 round (non forced) average for skill 3s, due to cloning her skill 4 on kill, which doesn't work in most boss fights however.
Have people forgotten how fucking broken she is. Turn 2 setup, every turn can use skill 4, best status effect, always crits on s4, can use s3 multiple times per turn.
Maost is legitimately one of if not still the strongest ID in the game for consistency and ability to clear.
Any thoughts about the entire minigun on the premiere?
Ok so Solament has been for the longest time an EGO that holds duality between its two ideas (not Capatalism and transgender, the other two themes), "Celebrations for the Departed" and "Solemn Lament for the Living".
The minigun says "LETS LAMENT LETS LAMENT"
Anyways the serious answer is that its playing into the line of Funeral possessing a "Kaleidoscope" of butterflies, reflecting (haha) the imagery that Yi Sang has with mirrors and possibilities. The spinning wings at the base of the barrels reinforce this idea.

i've yet to see someone who shits on the gacha monetization scheme (good! do that!) who doesn't also immediately decide that all the art and work of the employees and the people contracted is therefore meaningless and inherently lesser.
they're made worse by being tied to a gacha! this is true! but you act like they then hold no value at all and i think that's not just being dishonest, it's being anti art as a baseline level lol.
every time someone starts to use ricardo as an argument as to why the Middle isn't That Bad, or that Vespa and Moses are wrong for saying Matthias is actually kinda typical of the Middle, and how it really is just a wholesome found family, i just wanna start pointing out that Queequeg literally chose a lobotomy over staying in the Middle

the two kinds of tgirl are “infinite anger that destroys everything around her” and “infinite patience that lets the world turn her into a doormat”. and they both love giving the other unhelpful advice about how to manage their emotions
Now that we're past June (Gay Pride) we're moving into July which is Disability WRATH Month, where we celebrate and acknowledge the existence of people with all forms of disabilities, and are able to exercise our Wrath upon anyone who makes life even slightly more difficult than we deserve <3
