Explaining 5-30 Ricardo Cheese strat in 6 min (small error fix in pinned comment) | Limbus Company

[@bladeath860620]

There's a small error in the video here, where you actually can start nuking on the turn where Ricardo uses his Guard+Evade (but clearable either ways)

[@bladeath860620]

remember to use Offset for this turn (offset explained at 4:55)

[@troljynx9953]

You have no idea how much this is saving me

[@troljynx9953]

Took me longer than I'd like to admit since Ricardo kept targeting Sinclair with speed dice too high for me to intercept, but I did it !!

Thank you very much! i've been stuck here for the better part of a week and beat it first try using this strat.

[@rebel2345]

After suffering an entire day of non stop getting wrecked all the time. After watching this video and trying this strat, I beat it on 2nd try. As a new player to the game, I thank you very kindly 😊.

@@bladeath860620Me with already 2 weeks suffering of horrible rng , following this mere strategy just for SPEED TO ABSOLUTELY WRECK ME WITH ‘Nuh uh uh… you can’t move counter to ish!1’ and not only that HOW does the corrosion time PERFECTLY with the moment Ricardo gets the double damage and all status effect :(

[@gaery_]

Never had an issue with any of the bosses in the story far, but with this one, after over at least two dozen tries, and hours of grinding to get a full 40 team I still failed. Today I tried the fight with this strategy and passed it on first try. Thank you for allowing me to continue enjoying the story!

[@RadiantCloudSky]

Bro is literally the KyonStinv of Limbus thank you so much bro save me a lot of braincells I was about to distort like fr

[@lordpumpkinhead265]

I'm pretty sure this dude is the hardest fight in the game ignoring cheeses. Maybe with specific units you can wreck him, but otherwise all I can say is good luck.

[@EternalTheStormKing]

I’d say Ahab and her crew is almost unquestionably worse to deal with. Assist Defense and Assist Attack are brutal, and the crew even without those two abilities hurt. Ricardo is mainly just a DPS check.

[@paigelux4819]

Fancy meeting you here.

[@MeisterBeyondTubler]

THANK YOU SO GODDAMN MUCH I AM LITERALLY ON MY KNEES IN HAPPINESS THAT I FINALLY BEAT HIM May god bless you with infinite luck

[@kaimen2111]

God bless you man. I stuck on this level more than a month. i am try a lot of things - but it's all not work in the end. But your video make it ez and smooth. Pity i don't watch it early and waste all event time try defeat dat bastard

Good news: I was able to accomplish this with 9:2 and not Lantern! Nclair is awesome thank you so much for making this video

[@christoffpadilla5212]

I GOT IT 1ST TRY WITH THIS STRAY 😭😭😭 thats 1 week of trying just to cheese this so hard thank you man

[@stormylobby]

It was through watching this video that I realized that the fight ends when Ricardo uses his finisher move rather than when he’s defeated and that I had nearly finished the fight before, but had reset before that could happen because I thought he had to be killed. Dang, I’m an idiot, I’m glad I watched this video. I unfortunately don’t have a support Nclair, but the tip about Ishmael refusing to die is super useful!! Edit: Managed to find someone with Nclair to add me! Wish me luck, guys!! :]

[@Nirkaz]

Didn't know, you can call support in this game until this point. Beat the boss on my second try with this strat, thanks!

[@morthozst-n-rusalye]

I finally did it! Used my own Nclair and after a few tries I beat him. Props for Nclair being the true YES DAMAGE ID.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I've been stuck here since it was released. Now after coming back to the game, I finally managed to beat it thanks to your tutorial 🙏🙏🙏

[@SWonderleaf]

Hey thank you for making this video, I got incredibly frustrated that my level 40's couldn't win because they were slash based. This worked on my second try. (I got RNG Cucked on the boss the first time)

[@St4rking]

got it on a 2nd try, 1st one my nclair got 3 heads on s3 with -25 sanity, I thought of running my mvp ids comp with slosh ishmael and hoping let her take all the focus while my team does dmg but I didn't have her on uptie 4 so I thought I might be stuck for a little longer or unless I get lucky and get mentor meur, thanks for the guide you saved me like good 5 days of waiting

[@bladeath860620]

Good job

thanks so much for an easy and simple guide! throughout following it I was afraid I was missing something, that not every contingent scenario was accounted for... but I won first try easy! thanks so much again for the invaluable support you provided!

[@oopiumluola]

Thank you. I'm doing base sinners run and other video showing this didn't explain offsetting and Ricardo just dodged all my tremor attacks lmao.

First try! You also taught me that the support tab exists. I have been stuck on this level for months. Thanks a lot!

[@tedtalking1149]

thank you, this thankfully worked. I made a lot of mistakes before understanding the game mechanics and your explanations really helped

[@Heretic_real]

This strat saved me, everywhere else I looked I either saw use a tremor team (I don’t have hardly any good tremor units) or “GiT gUd” so thank you very much. I just demolished this fight using this strat.

[@oce5865]

Thank you for making this video. I am using a rupture team as my main team(I don't have a lot of identities so I really have to stick with one playstyle) and was completely unable to beat this boss. I beat it on my first try using this strategy. Thank you again

[@amelialx5655]

thank you so much for this!! ;0; i stopped playing limbus for a few months because this fight made me so angry haha but with your guide i defeated him in one try :')

[@aalbes50]

truly thanks for the strat, managed to do it in 1 go, despite the borrowed Nclair not having lantern ego.

[@beanbob5535]

Thanks man, you helped a lot. I started playing Limbus Company a month ago and really liked, but this stage made me feel genuine rage and now I question the logic behind Project Moon when they were creating Ricardo. Like, what new players are supposed to do if not to cheese this fight???? (So far I only have worshop Rodya as someone who can be a blunt dps, but thankfully my friend has Ncorp Sinclair)

[@islamsaadaboudeif2702]

It worked !! Thank you very much , i struggled for nearly a month to beat him and in just 6 minutes i learned how to beat him very easily.

[@Gamblore101]

Thanks heaps for this guide. Stopped using a full team once i saw this since game doesn't make it clear that Ishmael cant die. Also because full team here actually just feels detrimental lmao I ended up using a support Nsinclair but started with LCCB Ish + Nfaust. Definitely winnable but its too RNG. Just cbf restarting constantly because of the first two waves taking ages (was so close tho). I feel this boss is made really anti fun because of the stupid counter-attack. They obviously want you to nuke him hard in one turn but counter-attack move makes it really RNG since you depend on Ishmael speed being faster than your nuker and if not then its gg. If they removed that this fight would be alot better designed

Спасибо большое за это видео, я не мог его пройти уже 2 недели.

[@MerlinCross13]

Did as advised; Sinclair staggered Ricardo during his buff phase(Which you said you COULD go in on that turn), went Ego Meltdown or whatever next turn, failed to do enough damage with his only 2(Why only two? hell if I know), attacks. Buffed Ricardo dunked him into the god damn ocean.

[@gamering7837]

were u gonna beat ur wife and children because of ricardo?

this is because ishmael isn't allowed to die in order for the cutscene using the premade sprites to happen. so she gets a hidden buff where she's effectively immortal.

[@giornogiovanna8367]

I don't understand After a while Sinclair Corrodes and uses his Red Ego, and I have no Way to get his Green Ego because only Ishmael has Green Skills but it's impossible to win a Clash with her

[@bladeath860620]

when reaching -45 SP, a sinner corrodes and uses a random ego (higher tier ego higher chance, or 100% corrode into the previous ego that caused you to reach -45SP) doomsday is also clearable, Lantern is just kind of a safety since some ppl complain about their sinclair dying during mobs

@@javierapuga1338 use base ish, she has higher base speed

[@gillss4071]

ive been retrying for 3 hours, i think i suck. the main problems i face at the ricardo are speed. how do you even counter when he's faster than ishmael and just blitzes n clair. another is small moments where n clair is faster than ish so he takes the counter and the run ends. another is the hair coupon, how do you even counter that? man i hate this boss goddamn LMAOOO

[@bladeath860620]

Are you running base ish? Since base ish has really high speed range, it’s better for redirecting and being faster than Nclair

[@bladeath860620]

Ricardo’s speed range is 2-7 Base ish speed range is 5-8 Nclair speed is 3-8 Also, picking base ish as 1, Nclair is 2 is also important When 2 sinners have same speed, who moves first is determined by the order you picked them

[@bladeath860620]

If Nclair is faster than ish, and Ricardo has counter, it’s better to just let Nclair hit the minions and pass the turn As for hair coupon, the strat here is to end the fight before hair coupon even happened And if you still have speed issue while using base ish, it’s kinda just unlucky :( just retry a few times more, normally I see people clear with this strat in 1-5 tries (if everything is done correctly)
