Limbus Company Tier List

Introduction

This tier list is meant to assist people when it comes to picking Sinners that might helpful for them to progress. It will be frequently updated with new additions every so often, with Identities possibly moving up and down the list depending on new updates and other factors.

It should not be taken as gospel, however. There are many distinct and unique battles in Limbus and it would be near-impossible to cover all the niche situations and combinations, especially when factoring things like Refraction Railway. What we will be focusing on here is reliability in general, how well they can slot into a team, and of course, how strong they are. This should give you a general idea on how well these Identities work for the most part.

Note: This tier list only considers Identities on the field, and does not include the effectiveness of Support Passives.

Tier List Table

In no particular order. Sinners are arranged simply by their Sinner numbers, and all related Identities are placed right next to each other.

• Nuke Skill 3 with many coins and high final power but requires 10 Charge
• Skill 2 can inflict Fragile

W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent Ryōshū

• Nuke Skill 3 with many coins like W Don, gets coin power at 7-14 Charge at the cost of HP. 15 Charge removes the HP cost
• High rolling skill 2, can inflict Slash Fragility

Blade Lineage Mentor Meursault

• Amazing Blade Lineage Support ID with all the bonuses he gives with his passives and Skills
• To Claim Their Bones is a powerful Counter, and Meursault can't be staggered if he used and loses a clash with Yield My Flesh
• Passive can make him survive an attack that should have killed him

Dieci Assoc. South Section 4 Rodion

• Very tanky
• Inflicts good Sinking
• Perfectly fuels Rime Shank for Sinking teams

The One Who Shall Grip Sinclair

• 90 potential raw damage with Skill 3

• Don't give him additional skill slots or he might run out of ammo

The Pequod Harpooneer Heathcliff

• 1 Stagger threshold early, makes him a great tank
• Becomes stronger the less HP he has thanks to his passive

The Pequod Captain Ishmael

• Skill 2 can give a free unopposed Skill 1 attack if enough Absolute Resonance is obtained + a bit of luck if below 5 Absolute Resonance
• Needs to be careful as allies killing gives her less SP

SS

Effloresced E.G.O::Spicebush Yi Sang

• Decent Sinking infliction
• Sinking Deluge is his main gimmick, being a nuke but for Sinking that spends all Sinking on an enemy
• Skill 1 rolls low and will have difficulty winning clashes
• Be careful when using Skill 3 to activate Sinking Deluge as you will spend *all* Sinking on the enemy when you use it

Lobotomy E.G.O::Regret Faust

• Strong AoE prowess with conditions that are easy to obtain
• Skill 3 can Tremor Burst 3 times in a single turn
• Skill 2 can inflict Plus Coin Drop on enemies which can be significant the more coins an enemy has

• Skill 3 is a good clasher and is great against fights with multiple enemies

K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff Hong Lu

• Nearly invincible tank as long as his passive requirements can be met

• +6 Speed requirement for coin boost is easy to get, especially with Skill 2 giving him Haste
• Can heal himself with Skill 3. Also deals good damage with it.

R Corp. 4th Pack Reindeer Ishmael

• Decent in Uptie 3 but really wants Uptie 4 to shine because of how significant the changes in her Skills and passives are
• Skill 3 is a nuke that is easy to get off when at Uptie 4, but care should be taken as she might attack an ally instead if not having enough Charge

Molar Boatworks Fixer Ishmael

• Inflicts a lot of Sinking and especially Sinking Count with her Skill 3
• Can inflict Fragile if she has Tremor too

Liu Assoc. South Section 4 Ishmael

• Skill 3 does not get boosted and is a bit strict in its requirements to get the Plus Coin Boost buff for the next turn

Wuthering Heights Chief Butler Outis

• Echoes of the Manor is her biggest boon, as it can inflict additional Sinking on enemies and/or debuff their coin flipping chances

S

• Inflicts good Rupture Count

Dieci Assoc. South Section 4 Hong Lu

• Meh Sinking application
• Powerful skills when at higher Insight
• Can keep himself at Insight 3 forever by discarding Skill 3 once and then having the bottom slot turn into an Evade

• Okay clashing normally
• Skills become great at under 50% HP
• Healing is bad for her as a result

Liu Assoc. South Section 4 Director Rodion

• Decent normally, great in a Burn team
• Skill 3 can deal bonus Wrath damage but it's capped by 30

Lobotomy E.G.O::Magic Bullet Outis

• Great AoE potential

• Amazing Evade
• Decently powerful skills, if a bit lacking in coins

Molar Office Fixer Outis

• Can stack Tremor Count on herself to make decently powerful skills even more powerful
• Decent Tremor application, especially if she spends the Tremor on herself

Edgar Family Heir Gregor

• Glass cannon as he gives himself damage up but also Fragile

A

Blade Lineage Salsu Faust

• Decently powerful skillls but works best in a Poise/Blade Lineage team
• Red Plum Blossom seems like a good Bleed inflictor but is notorious for being very difficult to have an upkeep on

Shi Assoc. South Section 5 Director Don Quixote

• Generic good clasher
• Gets buffs at under 50% HP, but the effort to get there is not worth the buffs

Cinq Assoc. South Section 5 Director Don Quixote

• Good clasher, doesn't have a lot of coins overall meaning not too much damage
• Difficulty in achieving requirements to boost her Skill 3 without outside help like Crow's Eye View EGO

Blade Lineage Salsu Don Quixote

• Okay clashing capabilities outside of a Blade Lineage/Poise team, good clashing capabilities in one
• Good at giving Poise to allies
• Don't bring her in a team mixed with Poise and no Poise, she'll just give Poise to allies that don't need or use it

• Slow Speed
• Inflicts a lot of Tremor and Rupture
• Is one of the few IDs that can Burst Tremor without lowering Count
• When the stars align and she goes first with her Skill 3 active, she can inflict 5 Fragile, which is way more than R Corp Heathcliff's 4 Fragile. Ideally you can pair them up both for this, even.

Rosespanner Workshop Rep. Rodion

• Charge ID that focuses around Tremor
• Tremor infliction is actually poor and should not be focused on unless in a Tremor team
• Skill 2 is a nuke, but rolls a maximum of 12 in clashes. Coins only reuse after a clash or unopposed attacks

G Corp. Head Manager Outis

• Good support for the team all around
• Does not inflict good damage on her own as she only has single coin skills

Zwei Assoc. South Section 4 Faust

• Decent tank ID, pairs very well with Zwei Gregor

Wuthering Heights Butler Faust

• Meh clash numbers, needs a Sinking team to become more worth it

LCCB Assistant Manager Ryōshū

• Potentially powerful but needs a lot of babysitting to make work
• Needs to get hit with Sinking on himand/or lose a clash with his Skill 1 to lose SP
• It's not that he's not good, he can be, he just takes too much effort to be good when other IDs can do more for less effort

Kurokumo Clan Wakashu Rodion

• Skill 3 is a powerful single coin skill
• Can barely get and maintain poise, making it difficult to activate skill effects

Blade Lineage Salsu Sinclair

• Skill 3 is his best tool and can deal significant damage
• Has difficulty gaining Poise Count on his own, needs to be in a Poise-centric or Blade Lineage team to get more Poise
• Skill 1 and 2 don't roll high regardless

Lobotomy E.G.O::Red Sheet Sinclair

• Needs babysitting to properly stack Rupture and Talisman on self without accidentally purging Talisman and damaging himself

• Has severe difficulty with getting the conditionals on his skills active when not in a Rupture team

• Decent clasher albeit with only single coin skills
