ricardo and zwei ishmael has to be my favorite example of powercreep in limbus so far. this wall of a stage designed to feel unbeatable when first released is now practically a sweep to solo thanks to ishmael having one of the most hideously overtuned ids in the game
I mean... It's more that this Ish happens to deal blunt damage and resist it, while also scaling defense level on herself. Since it's a solo, her defense level gain escalates way beyond normal amounts (thanks to extra slots) and she takes way, way less damage than usual as a result. She counters this boss because her kit suits this fight very well. Other blunt Ish IDs can also solo this fight without being overleveled, but may struggle more due to not having this extreme tankiness. But yeah, she is very powerful, there's no denying that. Edit: essentially, this is one of those IDs that really appreciate having extra slots.
@@SpookiDher only fault is not having sloth and being weak to lust and sloth, which are very abundant among enemies, but when your biggest fault is STILL subjective, you've got nun' to compain about
I've been stuck on this stage for 2 weeks now, I'm going to try this again with this setup and your instructions. If I beat him, I'm gonna give myself a lobotomy

@@su4682 I just beat Ricardo yesterday with solo Zwei Ishma. I have no idea why a solo Ishma can do what a full team of level 40 id's can't, because i legit cannot begin to comprehend how the fuck sre you supposed to beat him normally, even with Zwei in my team she gets decimated if i bring a full team and Ricardo punishes you for doing absolutely anything.

The same ID that can tank practically everything is capable of dishing out 400+ damage. Truly a tremor ID of all time.
