Missed a few details on the lore bit. Carmen recruited the gang way before L corp was founded, and they operated as a ragtag group in some random lab in the outskirts when they were initially looking for a solution for the sickness of the city. Some drama happens and Carmen dies, and Ayin takes her place, more drama happens and it ended with the arbiter Garion(Binah) nuking the lab and killing everyone, dying to a mortal wound inflicted by Kali(Gebura) before she fell. Ayin then had the idea of becoming a Wing to continue their work, more lore happens, old L corp falls and Ayin becomes the founder of Lobotomy Corp, registering their Abnormalities as their singularity, hiding the fact that it was cogito that actually made them powerful. Cogito was described as something like the “wellspring of creation”. It functions similarly / is related to the Rivers where everything came from apparently. The Cogito the used was in liquid form, and injecting it to people forcibly manifests human concepts and ideas into physical form. Not only do you need to have a great sense of self to manifest EGO, it also requires a ton of willpower, the strength of your EGO depending on it. It’s also stated that, given you have enough will, the light can give you strength that can even topple the Head. Due to the botched release of the light, Distorting became a possibility. Basically being an alternate version of EGO that manifests if you fell to your desires, what happens if you manifest EGO but don’t have the will / mental fortitude to wield it properly. Imagine EGO corrosion but with your own EGO.
yes you are right and 2 things cause i knew this was going to crop up at some point. 1 im not the biggest lore guy and my writing editor (she is a massive one), i did handicap her for not spoiling to much. We needed enough info to explain whats going on in library while not explaining libraries story cause distortions were explain in there. 2. Didn't want to brain blast people. Explaing lob corp story about it in its entirely to a new person is way too much. I even showed the 1st script to my actual coworkers and they were massively confused. The other part is some parts is speculation or very vague like toppling the head (which i kinda doubt, Messing with the heads motives of the city yes) the illness etc which i didnt want to include Should have I gone all in probably but was more interested in gameplay. Again massive thanks for the info!

Your welcome. That's a mod. It's the PvP mod were you face off against 2 floors. It was easier for me to grind emotion levels and show things off easier
Well about light costing light recovery cards, you still have those like gigigi that costs 1 light but recovers 2, making you an additional light point and covering it's cost.
@albaeiras2263 no, meant that not every card that costs light and recovers light in return is just playing it for "free", but there actually are effective light regeneration cards that cost light. But thanks for the guide, helped me through yesod floor realisation
@thomaswang2223 Did you not read at all what I wrote "those like" using it as one of the bunch, and for your knowledge, I didn't get to that point in game. Thanks for spoiling.
Great video!! Next do one about how paralize is BROKEN the further you go into the game. And maybe defensive dice? People still struggle with those when they end up outnumbered by bosses.
Fun fact: Level 1 emotion takes 3 coins, so using almost ANY 3 cost card, which will win, will give you enough emotion to gain a level and have full light next turn. Also, light recovry only becomes a real problem with 2+ dice slots.
Soooooooooooo about the emotion level caps. They are COMPLETELY unrelated to the abnormality pages unlocked on that floor. Instead, they are based on floor level. At floor level 1 (unlocked) you have a cap of Emotion Level 1, at floor level 2 (one abno defeated) you have a cap of Emotion Level 2, all the way up to a cap of Emotion Level 5 at floor level 5, which is 4 abnos defeated. Two floors in the game are an exception to this, being Binah and Hokma's floor, which can go up to Emotion Level 5 the moment they are unlocked iirc.
Wow, i knowed the first half, but not the second, let alone card use/restore time Ps: i always concider light as stamina, specially as skill affecting it are related to breathing technics and stamina usage With stagger being posture, sekiro style. After all, is all "Simulation" of how real life works. So the expending categories are: Counter die at battle star Mass attack right after, as they are basicly skill checks Follow by range attacks Then mele.
Will take the video in mind, for the friends that are going to start playing LoR As for myself... The only thing I found out is that reused dice are counted as separate ones, well basically each every single of them can give light on stagger/kill. Also you forgot to say that Binah and Hokma doesn't have emo lvl cap no matter how many abnos unlocked you have
My theory is that we can't go above emotion V because on top of the overuse of light we'd get too emotional and distort. Since Angela has said she is intentional preventing that and distortion is linked to emotions and light. We most likely gain access to more emotion levels after defeating abnormalites due to us being more able to deal with unstable emotions.
Oh, really? Then please tell me, O wised one. What will happen if I use Pluto passively, activate the light contract, and finish the fight by using the character with the light contract to kill the last enemy? What will happen with that character HP when starting the next act and why does it happen that way?
@@inhtamnguyen3325 Pluto is in fact, not exploded. But the one with a light contract may die without you even noting if you don't understand how light work

@@Dr.Space4I actually wouldn’t say the tutorial is bad in library of ruina since it explained the key mechanics well enough for you to just learn the rest of the game yourself or look at the manual but that’s just my viewpoint. This game is definitely the least complex game between the 3 and I did learn though you draw a page after staggering and not just a light.
@@BladeClatter ...i spent hours...hours combing trough passives and pages crafting delicate builds just to realise i can draw an extra page on stagger...
OK but why didn't Angela just send Roland out to buy several flashlights to power everyone's decks. Is she stupid?
She could not leave the library, or any of them silly!
Im lying btw
because she wants library to be a hard game
Hello, to answer your question Alice, no, she’s not stupid, you need hexagonal flashlights to make hexagonal light though, and you can’t just buy them
Where was Angela during Arkham Knight?
Ah, light. A resource so complex they had to make endgame bosses to completely ignore it, screwing over floors that have light-decreasing abilities in the process.

I only knew that the game spends light on page use, and id always set it up so my recovery happens after that
Good job!
@ well counter dice have forced a habit of burning them first before my recovery pages hit next
What if I pull out my own very ominous power 😳
Then i would have to brace up
I thought talking about ominous power would have derailed it a bit too much and should be its own video
