Lifetime Stew Sinclair: The Weird Case Of The Most Slandered Yet Strongest EGO [Limbus Company]

[@Welvader]

EDIT: By somewhat popular demand I will be REMAKING THIS VIDEO with a more general focus on all healing EGOs in the game and Lifetime Stew Sinclair's position in it, just know that this video is not meant to be taken seriously, but since a lot of you want a serious analysis im cooking one up right now! :> By the way, just wanna say this video is meant to be taken 50% seriously and 50% as comedy. I've seen some people take this a tad bit too serious, and that wasn't my aim at all and I think that is getting the message of the video wrong. Oh yeah also, just for those who wanna know Level 50 doesn't change the end result of the argument at all, I checked and it basically boils down to both Fluid Sac and Lifetime Stew healing a little bit more and not changing the status quo. Sorry, but i just didn't wanna remake the entire video because PM dropped level 50, sowwy :(

[@goodkite3845]

you forgot about faust healing sp and its passive also if soup sinclair rolls tails it wont heal and deals a marginally massive amount of burn damage to the enemy (1 burn) what a stupid passive

[@Nico-xc3rg]

so not only can pm fans not read but they cant take a joke either. incredible.

[@DanteA.Limbus]

This being taken 50% seriously is already way too much. Saying that it is i any way, shape or form better than Fluid Sac is delusional. No it does not heal more than Sac.

[@AWrySmile]

I know this is a joke now, but I still wanna argue it. First off, you were unfair, using the average for Faust and the maximum potential for Sinclair! At level 50, here are identities with the highest HP for each sinner: Yi Sang: 223 (Seven and Dieci) Faust: 241 (Warp) Don: 258 (Tax) Ryoshu: 206 (LCCB) Meursault: 270 (N Corp) Hong Lu: 270 (K Corp) Heathcliff: 270 (Pequod) Ishmael: 254 (Zwei) Rodya: 243 (Dieci) Sinclair: 258 (Mexico) Outis: 234 (Seven) Gregor: 240 (Gregor) So, soup does 26*6 healing when at maximum potential, which is 156 hp (Sinclair’s number is rounded up, by the way) This requires Sinclair to be used in Dongbaek’s fight, as in any other stage he will heal no more than this. Fluid sac does 40*3+38*2+36*2 healing to the team when using a 6 sinner team of Warp Faust, T Corp Don, N Corp Meursault, K Corp Hong Lu, Pequod Heathcliff, Zwei Ishmael and Mariachi Sinclair. Notice how this sum (which adds up to 268, with each number being rounded DOWN) is for 6 people. The seventh member of this group of beneficiaries is actually… Vergilius. Vergilius is an Ally unit, and can therefore theoretically be considered an ally, which will add 825 (not rounded at all) hp to that healing, since Vergilius has around 5 and a half thousand HP. So, in 6-41, Fluid sac should be able to heal for 1093 HP for just 9 resources. If you were to disregard this, then add 38 hp instead for Zwei Ishmael, in a 7 sinner team in the fight against Dongbaek. Soup costs 6 resources, and heals for 156 hp. So, this comes out to 26 hp per resource. Fluid sac heals, at maximum potential, 1093 hp for 9 resources (or 306 hp if you don’t include Vergilius.) For Fluid sac to match Soup’s Heal:Resource ratio of 26:1, it would need to heal 234 HP, which it surpasses in both scenarios with a ratio of 121.444…:1! (Ratio is 34:1 when using Zwei Ish instead of Vergilius) SO! IN CONCLUSION, FLUID SAC FAUST OUTHEALS SOUP WHEN BOTH ARE USED AT THEIR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL! Faust also heals Sanity and applies protection to the ally with the lowest health as well, making it even MORE useful than Lifetime Worthless Sinclair! Check and Mate! EDIT: 1093 HP, not 1073

[@mtacrdipo7870]

Well if you think about it, the molecular composition of water is H2O, this means it has, in it's composition, the very most basic atom, Hydrogen, which is in 75% of all Normal Matter and the most abundant chemical element in the universe. Thus, if there was a way for water to gain complete sentience and be in full control of its own chemical makeup (which would only make sense), then it would obviously be in full control of the Hydrogen element too, which means it could feasibly control 75% of the entire universe, easily being able to destroy said universe with its only 25% of free control (this without even taking into consideration that Water would control Oxygen too, and part of that Previously Free 25% of that universe would have at least Oxygen in it, if not Hydrogen). So, scientifically, water could destroy any universe of standard composition with ours

Actually, it's even worst than that, he even fucked up his calculation. He calculated as if you were healing 100% of the time (24-(7*0.2)) = 22.6 while the true calculation (tail doesn't heal) is (24*0.8)-(7*0.2) for an actual average healing of 17.8, or 2.96 healing per EGO ressource.

Welvader, i think you forgot to include the fact that rolling tails not only does 7 damage, but it also doesnt apply 24 health, for a an effectively 31 health swing

[@foxxbaker]

We are watching someone distort in real time

[@Khint]

First, let me make something clear: this is a great video, and i loved it. Now, i'm going to put out my rebuttal. Sorry, not sorry- The problem with lifetime stew sinclair isn't that it is BAD at healing or really anything linked to its good outcome effect. Stew, in fact, when rolling heads, is GOOD. Not broken good, just overall good. The problem is that rolling tails puts you in a WORSE situation than you were, if you use this ego for its intended purpose. And then you consider for a second that lifetime stew technically *hits* allies... which procs any on-hit debuffs like rupture or sinking. (and i do believe that for some reason it doesn't proc positive on-hit effects? not sure on that one.) Lifetime stew sinclair rolling tails is, for all intents and purposes, a corrosion. It damages the enemy for literally chip damage, and your team gets a really disadvantageous position. It's not that 7 damage is a lot. It's that, if you're using a healing ID, the simple CHANCE of not only not being healed, but also being damaged, is not worth the gamble. Then you have to consider that the boss might be using burn themselves... And even with EGO ressource amp in the equation, you have to remember that unless you're in a human fight, most of the time you'll have 6 slots, not one more. since sinclair can't hit himself, you'll have 5 ego ressource amp on your team... so you won't even refund the 6 ego ressources needed to cast lifetime stew. you have to find a sweet spot between a moment where taking seven damage at the end of the turn isn't terrible, but you could really use the healing, and not mind technically being hit. Furthermore, we need to consider that faust heals the entire team, which lifetime stew isn't guaranteed to do (granted, those are under specific circumstances, but the possibility still exists)... And the "optimal" way to use lifetime stew is to use an id that is otherwise considered a bench-warmer, and is often considered the worst "tank" unit, due to the fact that it literally just... doesn't get to aggro? Oh actually i'm not going to get started on Jefe sinclair, i'll actually distort if i do. There's a whole dimention that is only hoodwinked in this video at the very end: Fluid sac, if it only healed health, would be average as an ego. Fluid sac faust is loved as a healing ego because, outside of the ego ressources, it costs FIVE SP when rolling tails, because not only does she refund her own SP, but gives some to EVERYONE. And if you used her to win a clash (you know, what she can do, compared to lifetime stew), weren't at full SP, and rolled heads, it gives 15 MORE SP TO FAUST THAN IT TAKES. And there's not "bad outcome" of using it and rolling tails, as you still heal 5 sp more than you lost, if you won a clash. The real reason why you're using more ressources than most HE ego to use it, is that if by the time you can use her (which can be as early as turn three if you play your cards right), you might have had bad luck with clashing or might be facing a boss that likes to keep your sanity low and make things difficult for you... And at that point, you'll be able to both "erase" the damage dealt by the enemy with those bad clashes, but also make it so that you'll have a MUCH easier time for the rest of the fight: sanity is a snowball in this game, as better clashes means more sanity means better clashes. And now, here's my OWN hot take: if you really need sinclair to heal, because for some reason fluid sac isn't enough... You can just bring a better ID than Jefe and use lantern, or even in some specific circumstances like fights with breakable parts and/or minions, impending day (which, hey, uses the same EGO slot lifetime does, can actually clash, has a +1 damage modifier instead of a -2, and allows you to bring a viable member of the team instead of an evade bot that will at most evade 3 attacks!). There are just too many points of friction in lifetime stew sinclair's design to be anything but a disappointing ego. It competes for its slot with another ego that doesn't require you to handicap yourself in order to make the best of it. i'll give *something* to lifetime stew though: considering how GOOD for burn sinclair is, lifetime stew gaining a passive that compounds with dawn sinclair's OWN passive can pay off in raw amount of burn potency added (which, in long fights, basically translates to a LOT of pride damage due to magic bullet outis)

[@Khint]

(also,a bonus argument there: if you're using jefe for the express purpose of using stew, you're probably not running sinking, or if you are, you're depriving yourself of one of the main team, in order to bring a unit with NO sinking ego and overall negative count. If you aren't running sinking but are bringing a sinking unit, that means you're running a generalist team. Which means you're just setting yourself back by not using two of the most powerful IDs in the game, nclair and cinqclair.)

[@RedPandaTables]

I get what you are saying and the ultimate point you are trying to make which is: It isn't THAT bad (for the cost). Regardless there is a ton of counter arguments such as you are expecting people to change members just to get the ego to work may it be those who like haste or having an awful ID of Sinclair just for more health. I argue just use Rodion or Sault healing drip ego instead where they can hold their own with any IDs you want them to have without being the rest of the team around it. Likewise I feel being cheaper only helps so much. It not like you (should) be spamming ego every turn, ego are for burst damage and what effects they may give for that given moment. If you really need healing during a mirror run I think you kinda doing something wrong but people seem to sleep on Impending Day which give everyone 20% of their health on a kill of an enemy (the ego even buff itself if the enemy low on health!) which is also a teth ego under the same sinner. Ignoring the attack power up and just looking exclusively at the healing 195 (your number for avg HP) * 0.20 (heal amount) = 39 / 5 (sin resources) = 7.8. Using your own logic and arguments I literally found a better ego of the same tier on the same ID that is outright better than Soup for healing. Heads or Tails rolls doesn't matter, it will always heals too. So final counter argument is that I know an ego that was easier to get than soup that was better by default for healing at least. I'll be my own devil advocate and say it will only work on kill but still, how much healing does one need during a single encounter? I'm sure you mostly made this video out of entertainment and just to say it isn't THAT bad but the logic on the video kinda fall apart easily though.

The reason garden of roses is not good is beacuse it is more expensive, doesnt have a great id that it fits with, and you cant build a team around an EGO which you would need to.

[@bashily2844]

Counter arguments i have against your soupclair defense For maximum value on healing, it comes at the opportunity cost of cinq, n, or dawnclair so it would be more realistic to use any of them for the calculations. Additionally this EGO is unusable on Dawn and Nclair since Dawn doesn’t want to use EGOs in the first place and NClair is likely going to corrode if you do use it. Additionally, while Cinqlair can use it, the healing won’t be as high, and he won’t even benefit from the haste and ego resource amp buff because he can’t target himself (as for the other IDs, cinq don isn’t that great, and rabbit heath might run out of bullets) additionally, an argument can be made that soupclair is more expensive than faust fluid sac because soup costs 15 sanity and 6 sin resources vs faust fluid sac costing 9 sin resources and on average is sanity positive (+2.5 avg, with it being +5 75% of the time and -5 25% of the time assuming 45 sanity before the sanity cost) the infinite damage is a lie, because any skill that has done “infinite” damage in a single turn has always been a bugged skill and said bug is always patched Additionally, something i don’t remember being mentioned in the video is the inconsistency of soupclair. He can either heal allies, damage enemies, or damage allies while giving them haste and ego resource amp, but never all of them at once. Faust fluid sac, regardless of coin flip or targeting jank, will always heal all allies, damage enemies, and restore at least 15 sanity to all allies, and more often than not 15 sanity to all allies is better than EGO resource amp for up to 5 allies in endgame content Finally, something else not mentioned in the video, but should be mentioned, is that it will trigger any rupture or sinking allies have, as despite doing no damage, you are still attacking them, thus dealing true or sanity damage depending on which effect is there I will not deny the things soupclair does are not bad, it’s just that you need to put in a lot of work just to gamble on either healing or burning allies to enable hase+amp, assuming your fighting something that doesn’t apply a lot of burn count in the first place that being said, with unbreakable coins being a thing now, soupclair might have some use because it does have a good heal, and healing may become far more important in the near future TLDR: Soupclair has good effects but is bad because it is too inconsistent, has poor rolls, janky targeting, shut down by 3 different status effects, and it doesn’t pair well with at least 2 of his best IDs, however it may be better soon because healing could become more important

[@bashily2844]

also adding this as a response because i’m not gonna edit this comment unless i am outright spreading misinformation I am not considering any passives here, so unless there is any really strong synergy between soup’s passive and any of sinclair’s passives that i missed, those shouldn’t matter

I adore the concept behind it and the animations too but especially considering that this canto is oops all bleed and even if an attack doesn’t deal any damage if an id has less hp than its stagger bar from bleeding they will stagger. And sadly the ID that wants haste the most is Cinqclair…. who will never get Haste from this ego because the resource amp doesn’t target himself. And admittedly I don’t think comparing it to fluid sac is the best representation of it. Fluid sac is largely the best for its sanity boost making it effectively go sanity positive for faust and the whole team and its corrosion is easily the most slept on aspect of it (-25 sanity and -2 power is a lot. Usually not as good as the heal but the fact it can comes as an options is even better). A much more accurate comparison would be to Sinclair’s best ego Lantern as it actually has similar sins needed to fuel it and is also on Sinclair which just what reveals all of soups flaws. For 1. even before getting into the effects Lantern is perfectly fueled by two of Sinclair’s ids one of which being Cinqclair. 2. Strong AOE slash attacks are quite rare and one so easily fuel able is amazing. 3. You never “want” heals, you often need heals and if the choice is between a heal that could hypothetically be higher by a small margin but can randomly do the opposite or one that heals as long it hits…. players are going to gravitate towards the one that doesn’t accidentally stagger themselves because of a boss’s unavoidable bleed build up. I do wish that it got just a slight rework because the flavor and idea behind it is amazing and I wanna justify sharding it but just cannot muster the motivation for where it is currently

If I wanted to use an Sinclair EGO that has healing and generates me EGO resources I would just use Impending Day. It also comes with the benefit of not having to use Mariachi Sinclair to maximize its value.

[@MoonbowOpus]

I use Lifetime Stew during my burn team mirror dungeon runs (Lius except Hong Lu who’s benched + NClair) and it definitely helps in the event his sanity gets a bit too high (I use Base Yi Sang to make corrosion less likely when Win-Rating) and also it’s fun to use especially when combined with Oracle often exchanging excess Wrath/Lust for Gluttony.

This video is like walking into Esgoo's house and pour boiling soup on him

[@dr.doctor6409]

Wel forgetting the fact that while using mariarchi sinclair is the most optimal for healing getting his sanity up to actually heal teammates is miserable and every time you use the ego youre set back on said valueable SP. Also even if cost refunds it still costs said sanity Also if it fully refunded that means 6/7 attack weight has hit your team and not the enemy so whatever damage he does with that last hit is outweight by 6*7= 42 burn damage to the team he did this move. Bait used to be believeable...

[@rxgspirit]

So Lifetime Stew Sinclair is better than Fluid Sac Faust.. because it's worse than Fluid Sac Faust. This has to be peak slop posting. Never cook again 💯 🗣️🗣️🗣️ 🔥🔥🔥

[@Kriakye2435]

Aint no way I'm running Mariachis Sinclair just for lifetime stew lol. Great vid 👍😎👍

[@rickertvimbrant]

This is fucking ridiculous. Please make more.

Why did I even watched this, manager esquire?

Welvader slowly upgrades his all collection to up4 and justifies spending resources on it.

I HATE LIFETIME STEW! I HATE LIFETIME STEW! ILL NEVER SUCCUMB TO PEER PRESSURE! I HATE LIFETIME STEW!!

[@justanotherguywithamoustac8893]

I respect the dedication

[@wonderoffour4473]

7:14 Speaking of gregor. I smh got all of his E.G.O.s but i only have Rosespanner. This is a really cruel joke. Since the only E.G.O i got for my Outis was Binds and i have to much skill issues on my lunacy/shard economy to even get anything.

[@vonlycaonreal]

If it's not 100% it may as well be 0%

[@Flygoniaks]

To be completely honest, I want Project Moon to release a Sinclair ID that has an absurdly high health pool, and gets benefits based on how much he heals and shields the other Sinners. Having Sinclair become a dedicated healer by spamming Cavernous Wailing, Lifetime Stew and Lantern genuinely sounds like so much fun, it's a shame that his high-HP IDs are so bad. Also, about the Corrosion: Who said anything about Overclocking for it? I personally love to use N-Sinclair and carefully manage his SP so that he hits -45 at the same time that there are several staggered/low-health enemies, so I can get some free kills and activate the passive at no cost. That risk/reward is far more enjoyable than equipping him with Impending Day. Though, of course, making this _consistent_ also means locking yourself out of other Sinclair E.G.O, so it's not exactly viable... still, I have fond memories of this tech back in Season 1 and 2!

[@burzslaw]

So, next video will be like "why soda hong lu is the second best ego in the game"

[@73emilitus]

Now do the same with Soda Ryoshu Please... I have it at uptie IV...

[@FriendOfHatkid]

That remindss me of one phrase. "In this game, only healing is never good. Why would you spend much needed resource for just heal, when you can dmg their tower instead." It was a vid about heal spell in clash royale. Anyways. I don't have that thing. And I won't spend my boxes on him, since I need streamer and russian girl.

[@BotNeedsResetting]

If I ended up doing my thesis on Torture, this video would have come up durig the joke section.

[@CritHit]

I'd say the biggest upshot to Fluid sac vs soupclair is the sanity gain, really. While it does get (potentially) inched out raw healing- the SP gain let's you drag units who've whiffed a bunch of clashes back into feasibility + refunding its own sanity cost and/or enabling ego spamming everyone

[@JannetFenix]

Until people were fuming about how "bad" it is, i never really thought of it being bad. I like it a lot and it's damn impossible not to be able to fuel it.

[@jsu8994]

Lust resonance lifetime stew Sinclair build is called "Lust child labour build" in Korea btw.

[@panzerldr5724]

you forget to account for that even if it rolls heads, it only heals each ally that it hits, and it's indiscriminate. if there are multiple enemies, it becomes incredibly volatile and unreliable, as there's no guarantee you hit the allies that actually need healing.

[@laurentiusmichael4609]

Bro forgetting that his whole argument hinges on using mariachi sinclair

[@lusss1758]

But you still have to use mariachi Sinclair for its full effect, no?

[@lusss1758]

Cuz i think we need to facter in the fact that you to use him to get full value out of the ego

[@d4m1r90]

🤫

[@fitomi1989]

Even tho we know it was amazing ego, how he cooking the soup into making us more highly profit from this ego is

[@QuantyXInc]

I love how the only way to make this EGO somewhat viable is to use one of the worst IDs in the game, basically making every fight more difficult since one of the spots is reserved for this fraud, all of that for 0.06 more health healed (which doesn't matter since the game rounds down decimals anyway)

[@LevtoChannel]

You're using stewclair to heal hp, I'm using fluid sac to heal sanity, we're not the same

[@izzymosley1970]

This is the limbus company equivalent of that meme where the guy looks at a whole army of people and says yes you are all wrong.

[@Turtletank159]

Well yes if you allways hit tails on lifetime stew Sinclair you may very well be able to use its power 10 single coin skill every turn to deal infinite burn damage to your allys

[@AriZonia]

As someone who generally ignores meta and just uses what they think helps, I've actually kept Soup!Clair around for ALL my builds because having a "cheaper" healing option isn't always the worst idea. Bearing in mind I go through the story with teams of little synergy (current status: 2 Bleed, 2 Burn, 1 Bleed/Poise, Wild Hunt), but Mirror Dungeons allow me to experiment more. So I might actually consider using Soup for the Resource Amp, since I... forgot he has that.

[@TheManWithNoHands]

I love that this video is functionally: "LIFETIME STEW LITERALLY OUTDAMAGES AND OUTHEALS FLUID SAC?????!?* *the statements made in this video have not been approved by the FDA and are taken from a study of average health of IDs with optimal conditions for Lifetime Stew. This is not medical advice. Please consult your doctor if you are experiencing a medical emergency."

[@xartancebaldus6902]

I couldn't find the soupclair apology form! I scoured the video multiple times and wanted to fill out the form. I like to fill out forms.

[@quinnmaster504]

well, technically speaking, being healed for 20% of any damage dealt is basically the same as not taking the damage in the first place, so TECHNICALLY fluid sac faust passive has infinite heal potential, since it can block damage an infinite amount of times after one use of EGO Fluid Sac Faust remains on top... /j
