Library of Ruina Guide 53: Binah Realization

[@ironintegral6631]

one thing I realized when I was trying out the this realization for the first time was that I had no idea how to actually fight judgement bird without the fairy cheese, so hearing you say "we're going to cheese it" was much appreciated lol.

[@AilithNix]

The intended way basically boils down to "win clashes, clash with everything" but I'm a sucker for some good cheese

[@aegisScale]

Can concur, this part of the realization is a pain to fight without cheese. Mass spam is the easiest way to get through that phase. My setup didn't have enough Pierce damage to do the one-scene stagger unfortunately, but I could always get it in 2-3 scenes (well that or a reset).

[@bleachp9723]

I started the game 3 months ago because I wanted to know more about Project Moon world building from Limbus Company. It started to get hard with Love Town and searching for help I discovered your series. I want to simply thank you for all the effort you put in the videos. You cover all that implies play this game right, which is very difficult for someone who does not know about deck build games like me. Because of you I reached Impuritas Civitatis. You are the reason I did not drop the towel with this game and is very appreciated 👍

[@AilithNix]

I'm glad I'm able to help you. I really enjoy the deck building stuff and so I put in a lot of effort to make strong, simple decks. Best of luck on the rest of the game!

[@greetingsnvr6953]

the part about Love Town is so true

[@doffey6597]

Man, this is the hardest realization that I've done so far (hokma remaining). I would've not done it without you! Thank you for making my LoR journey more bearable and enjoyable with your guides. Looking forward to the end!

[@AilithNix]

I'm glad I could help you enjoy the game! Have fun with the last stretch~

[@theworld6710]

I finally beat LoR today. One of the best games I’ve ever played. Around 250 hours in total. Thanks for your guides. Especially with LoR having just been on sale during the Steam Sale, I hope you to continue to help people out as you helped me. Please keep up the great content.

[@AilithNix]

Congratulations on your clear! I'll keep working hard to finish these guides and I'm glad I could help you out~

[@demoris7542]

I just want to say that your videos amazing! Your videos always help me when i stuck or too rage to complete realization or something else. I remember how i was stuck on hod realization for 2 weeks... Idk why it was hardest for me and now, because of your videos i can continue playing and beating other realizations or hard parts with interesting strategy and decks. Not only you helping do realizations you giving really great decks like overcharge purple tear. I just want to say thank you!

[@AilithNix]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy to hear that I was able to help you get through parts of the game you were struggling with~

[@immortalolive3576]

Phenomenal guide, I was so frustrated on this fight especially apocalypse bird, even with a guide I nearly died from it's constant mass attacks and not doing enough stagger. Can't wait until you do the ensemble fight!

[@AilithNix]

I'm glad I was able to help you out! The ensemble fights will start after Hokma realization so in 2 weeks assuming I don't randomly die.

[@ThingsThatRhymeWithOrange]

I 100% this game recently last week with 50 or so hours of play mostly blind (Love Town memes and being On Fire~ aside). Your deckbuilding guide/pointers helped a lot to understand the game's "economies" and potential synergies to help make my rest of the Star of the City receptions easier and beyond. Thanks. (Holy hell the power null mass attacks they won't stop please oh god no stop Binah why did I kill the Big Bird egg last through on final phase that whole ordeal oh god why-)

[@AilithNix]

I'm glad my strategies were useful to you. Congratulations on your swift clear! Power null is a big pain indeed lol

[@ssharkiggo6432]

Just today, I finally got to apocalypse bird with all 5 librarians near full health and with lights only for me to accidentally press space when in the fight.

[@isaacolo5547]

Im still using your guides and so close to completing LoR, Binah died right at the start of the last phase because she was staggered, but with my librarians at emotion lv 5 and luck I completed the realization, im gonna start with hokma but not withouth thanking you for this guide

You have saved me so much bashing my head against the wall, phenomenal guide, thank you so much

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to have been of assistance~

[@Niiue]

*(THIS COMMENT HAS AN UNGODLY WALL OF TEXT)* Quite surprised how Punishment works with Weight of Sin. I suppose that makes it a lot better in my eyes now lol. I like how all the pre-Twilight phases are done. Binah snuffing the stinky Salvation insta-kill die is creative, taking care of Beak in the most efficient way possible is also nice, and spamming Mass Attacks on Justitia just lessens the burden, so that's good. It's important that you rush through the phases mostly unscathed while also having Emotion bonuses since you want to head into Twilight pretty well-off. Twilight's difficulty definitely comes from the light management as well as constant mass attacks. Get hit with Brilliant Eyes, and you'll be struggling for light for the rest of the battle. Big Eyes' power null does not help with it, and is definitely the hardest subphase of Twilight. If you brought Nikolai with Disposal and you have 20 charge, now is the time to use it. Small Beak isn't too difficult past Light Restores being increased more. The easiest of the phases, but the gap between the difficulty isn't too large. Make sure you don't get brutalized by Comeuppance, top off your economy, and you should be fine for the next phase. Long Arms will punish you harder for already losing, and is a cake walk if you're doing well. The mass attacks are, again, a problem. They're easy to beat since they aren't power null, but if you're starving for Light or Pages, then you are in for a lifetime of hurt. Aside from that, keep doing as you're doing and you'll take care of it. The final phase is just a filler one. It's more resource-checks, so if you're on your last legs after Long Arms, well good luck. Overall, very difficult for a realization, but is doable so long as you have preparation, reading comprehension, and good deck building. Some more tips that may help you for Twilight: - Identify Weakpoint is a good page to bring to specifically screw over Twilight's specialized weaknesses. - Pages like Blind Faith can help you get through the rough patch that is Big Eyes safely. Having one copy of it doesn't really affect your deck, and it is a major boon for Brilliant Eyes. - Feel free to let some attacks free hit, just so you can conserve resources. Slam Down for example is not particularly threatening. - Weight of Sin + Punishment combo on Olivier works wonders. Punishment *does indeed work* with Weight of Sin. - Use Degraded Chain often to reduce the amount of attacks coming your way. This helps heaps and I cannot state this enough. Okay, let's talk about the pages. - Long Arms is quite useful, just in general. A lot more than you think lol. - Big Eyes is VERY good, and is probably one of the best pages in the game hands down. Even more so if you're soloing. - Small Beak is niche, and becomes useless once you assemble The Beast, but it's still good for clutching light. - The Beast is probably the best of the Exodia pages. You just don't die, ever, and they die in return. It doesn't debuff to the point of Tiphxodia, but Power Null is a very VERY strong ailment. - Guardians of the Forest is honestly quite good for its Haste and Strength/Endurance. If you're fighting mob receptions and you failed to assemble The Beast, you should choose this. - Peace is great for shutting down single targets easily, since they do a lot less damage. If you're fighting solo bosses and you failed to assemble The Beast, you should choose this. The EGO pages are all quite useful as well, barring one unfortunate EGO page. - Lamp is amazing because Power Null is, as I have said, a very powerful ailment. And applying it to your opponents exclusively is incredible. - Justitia does amazing damage and is a good ranged page clasher, but provides no utility past that. - Beak has good utility, okay rolls, and nothing more. It's alright, if you aren't looking for damage then use this. - Twilight is kind of bad unfortunately. Its rolls are kind of dookie, and I find that you would use it because you want to get rid of some die (most likely one at best) just so you can clash easier with 2 die pages. The effects aren't even that noteworthy either. - Apocalypse is better than Twilight in every way. It gets stronger the more desperate the fight becomes, and if you have activated The Beast... then it's a great mass attack to throw out on one of your now-dying nuggets. Overall, the pages round out Binah's floor nicely, and solidifies her as an excellent generalist floor alongside Keter that can stand without Exodia. If you do manage to assemble Exodia though, then all the better!

[@AilithNix]

yeah the punishment weight of sin combo was actually pretty good, still not a stellar page, but definitely better than I initially gave it credit for. The salvation counter I got from r5's binah realization in 9 scenes video. I also probably could've one scene'd punishing bird but it felt like too much of a pain to figure out a way to explain it so I just went the safe 2 scene option. In my first run through, I probably got hit by Brilliant eyes because I was struggling for light the entire rest of the fight (I distinctly remember ominous power on my PT saving the run when everyone was on like 20 hp) but if you can beat it then it's pretty smooth sailing. Everything else folds to True Trigram Formation and Overcharge so there isn't much to say. I don't see Long Arms being useful outside of receptions that inflict bleed/burn (unless I'm missing something) but in those receptions it's an absolute godsend. I've seen enough solo content to know that Big Eyes is an absolute juicer of a page. I might be overvaluing small beak, I'm usually cool to pay a ton of life to get some light, but it might be a playstyle thing. I've never used The Beast (or Binah's floor for that matter) but it looks like it'll just win unless you're already about to lose and even then you might still come out on top. I don't really like Beak but tbh most of Binah's ego (barring lamp) are kind of mediocre to me, at least compared to some other floors, but Binah's floor has Binah and The Beast so gotta balance it out somehow.

[@Niiue]

@@AilithNix Yeah, the ego are sort of just there. They're nice though and definitely help.

[@WhyIamhere1]

Punishment + weight of sin + oliver singleton is such a deadly combo, since if you roll a minimum you take damage and punishment actives getting you alot of power, used a multi slash and got a 15 power boost

[@AilithNix]

Yeah, while I think the Punishment effect is pretty mediocre, being able to consistently trigger it every turn makes it stronger for sure. Weight of Sin is just not balanced, especially with Olivier's passive

[@notaduckkcultist6577]

there is actually a cheese for the beak fight, clashing the peck attack from beak with will of the prescript triggers the jugdement phase, causing his resistances to be fatal. This using high speed attacks from binah, (i used myongest on olivier) olivier, and ithers can stagger it before it can kill your librarians. EDIT: you also dont need to use all the mass attacks, just kill the rest of the birds with overcharge and fiery dragon slash or will of the prescript. ALSO I HIGHLY RECCOMEND using myongest olivier to trivilize apocalypse bird, my unlocks were rolling 28s.

[@AilithNix]

Yeah I was looking at Binah Realization clears after I posted this video and saw that cheese which was pretty neat.

[@rukifen]

i ended up with 10 strength on my Oliver this REALLY helped me out and i completed it 1st try and staggered the bird every scene due too Nikolai this was really fun and its def worth trying again thank you (pretend this is a steam happy emoji) 😊😊

as someone who's chronically unlucky with rng these fights are STILL kicking my ass. trying to hang in there but even following this guide i'm still getting getting rng'd to death

[@je4155]

for reference i cannot for the life of me avoid counter dice while getting mass attacked. it's kind of making me wonder what kind of horrible stuff is ahead and if i should even bother with it :c

[@AilithNix]

What's your current setup?

[@je4155]

@@AilithNix i ended up tweaking it to get a little more light gain during downtime (stagger, one sided's on ads/weak attacks) and mass attacked asap phase one, and then again for judgement, plus a weight of sin + rapid gashes olivier build to help keep up momentum. i also got insanely lucky drawing degraded chains which really helped in the final phases

[@AilithNix]

@@je4155 yeah that sounds like it'd be pretty good. Light econ is a large bottleneck for this realization I've found, and keeping momentum up is really important as well.

[@omorinintendoswitchedition]

final phase kicked my ass cause i had light regen problems because i stayed in the big bird part too long and kept getting hit by brilliant eyes. seeing you do it easily is a huge confidence booster tho

[@AilithNix]

yeah Brilliant Eyes is kind of a must-avoid. On my first playthrough, I had a few of my librarians get hit, and from that point it was just me struggling for an hour to slowly whittle it's health down while getting to above 4 light without dying.

[@omorinintendoswitchedition]

@@AilithNix i just beat it then, i would recommend swapping out raging storm:love for blind faith because its a hard counter to brilliant eyes, is a light regen and has some decent enough rolls even after the -2 power Edit:oh you mentioned blind faith in the video lmao, but yeah blind faith > raging storm imo

[@M3mMMriz3]

Honestly, this fight was pretty trivial for me, i had the most trouble with big bird and when i got to apoc i beat him first try. I had enough light and card recovery to spam out the mass attacks and i just ate the damage from weaker attacks while clashing with the stronger ones with the dice i used to clash the mass attacks

[@AilithNix]

Apoc bird's difficulty comes mainly from the first scene, where it casts the light drain mass attack. If you beat it, then you'll be chilling, but getting hit by it will make it very hard.

[@ktoto435]

Apocalypse bird makes me wanna distort myself😭even if i have full hp im just running out of good card or running out of light. Even with that he just tanks my attack and then continues to nuking my librarians. I can try to just collect powerful pages like from Oliver or blue essemble but im afraid that i'll just cant do realizations at this moment. Fighting apoc bird is pure A.G.O.N.Y. (especially run back with three others birds (edit) I finally completed it somehow, thanks for the guide!

[@AilithNix]

glad you got there in the end, Apoc bird can definitely be a real pain.

[@bruhmoment6331]

Lol what I did for this was gave trigrams to binah and made her use shockwave during punishing phase then cleaned up with forming storm love

[@AilithNix]

mass attack moment

[@MrEFIRion]

i have no idea how first phase works. i mean counter dices. sometimes binah will properly exhaust the salvation slash dice, sometimes not. looks like sometimes boss just gave her for whatever reason other dice than she was targeting even despite of the speed, and that was pure rng and restart because you dont want loose anyone on damn first phase. thanks at least that was first phase

[@AilithNix]

The counter dice will always resolve in speed order for the opponent, regardless of how you're targeting.

[@SrakenKraken]

how do you counter that one mass attack from long arms that depletes like 20% hp of each librarian?

[@AilithNix]

Ideally you kill the boss before they ever get to cast it. If they do end up using it, try to redirect it to a librarian with less than 5 sin and pray.

[@AilithNix]

[@akgrhhnuhriuasn]

As soon as I got past the punishing bird egg it started using an insane number of mass attacks to the point where I just didn't have enough to clash with. Was that a bug or something, or can it just do that?

[@AilithNix]

From what I recall, apoc bird can be using 2 or 3 mass attacks in a scene, which shouldn't be unmanageable unless you're running low on light.

[@aegisScale]

I've always been scared to use Overcharge in general due to its immobilization effect, is there some way to work around it I haven't found (through playstyle or passives)?

[@AilithNix]

PT guard stance has a static ability that gives status ailment immunity. If you're not using that then it's not worth using the page.

Just killed this damned bird today for the second time (first time I had one Xiao oh 15 health left and now only binah and mirinae died) and power null on the first scene of last phase is so annoying. I had 16 strength on myongest Olivier from weight of sin and he was just crippled instantly. Also I had all decks mostly pierce and I had huge problems with breaking eggs and 2 librarians died(big mistake). Also had 2 resets because lamp just dazzled Olivier and he had 3 infinity dices going into salvation

[@AppaTheBizon1228]

Binah and Hokma take sooooooo long lol. I like that this realization is on the tougher side but isn't super crazy on gimmicks, so you get rewarded for just playing your decks well instead of building to specifically counter xyz. The Beast feels a lot less obtuse that the other Big Dumb combo abnos. Feels like the easiest to use. But despite that my favorite big dumb combo abno is Hokma's lol

[@AilithNix]

Yeah I do like how you can just hop into tge fight with whatever decks you've been using and have a good shot at winning. I'll admit that I've never actually used any of the combo floors but The Beast definitely looks the best on paper.

[@Cinneder]

do you prefer your eggs sunny side up or scrambled?

[@wildcard7919]

I honestly find small beak kinda useless. 5% of my max hp for 1 light sounds like too high of a price to pay for just 1 light. Especial when beast rolls around and you just get all your light for free making it actually useless. If it was giving you 1-2 strength or something along those lines then yea especially since you can grab weighted scale and get even more healing on top of big eyes and potentially health hauler.

[@AilithNix]

I'd use small beak as a get out of jail free card. Sometimes I'll get a couple fewer emotion coins then I thought I would or I need to use all my light up to clash, and in those situations, I'd gladly trade 25% max hp to be able to continue casting, but other than that it's pretty niche.

[@blehh_mae]

got to the endgame of lor recently but i have a huge skissue and dont understand anything in the game nor do i have any knowledge to create busted builds but these guides really helped, but im horrified for when i have to do this one soon, looking at the wiki the last phase seems really fucked and it seems like its not just a gimmick fight like the hokma one edit: after trying it a bit i was definetely not ready for this realization i thought itd be easy as hell like the other abnoes and realizations with these guides but it appears either i have a skissue or rngesus hates me

[@AilithNix]

If you're worried about the last phase, pack a copy of Blind Faith on all of your librarians decks. When apoc casts the mass attack that drains light on hit, throw it out there and it'll be fairly likely to win. Take your time and remember that you can always try again if you fail!

[@blehh_mae]

@@AilithNix i was more worried about the last phase because it had 1400 health and multiple phases and cant be staggered properly, and that the normal abno fights were tedious enough as is so id probably lose alot of health or librarians before getting there i even did the fight a couple times a few minutes ago and somehow my first try i got really far and probably got it to about 1050 health before failing but now i keep dying at the first phase or losing enough health that its not worth it to continue

(Un)surprisingly this realization is not that bad actually, it’s not difficult but it’s not easy either (at least for me) it took me like a few tries bc light thirsty I am probably never using this floor again (this is an obvious lie bc im going back to using Binah anyways) This one is super unrelated to the video but i have a 3 am thought about what happen if Kirby swallows Punishing bird (would Kirby copies the Punishing bird decks and passives or would the bird try to kill the kirby) and to the surprise of nobody the librarian with the Kirby skin gets enchanted by lamp, is this what i get from asking what happens if you swallow punishing bird?
