In Limbus Company, the levels of your Sinners are crucial to their combat effectiveness. Just like in other RPGs, you'll need to level up your team to progress through the game and tackle challenging content. Even the most powerful Sinner Identities won't stand a chance against enemies if they're underleveled. For newcomers, here's a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently gain XP for your characters.
With games like Ananta and Neverness To Everness on the horizon, I find myself craving a stylish anime game that isn't gacha-based. While HoYoVerse games satisfy my gacha cravings, I'm eager for a triple-A experience similar to these titles but without the RNG monetization.
Combat and Grinding --------------------For new players, the primary way to earn XP is through combat. Every Sinner on your team will gain XP after successfully clearing a combat encounter, regardless of their participation. However, those who actively fought will receive more XP. This method, common in many free-to-play gacha games, can be slow, especially as battles become tougher. To level up more efficiently, you'll need to explore other options.
Once you reach the midpoint of Canto 2, you'll unlock the Luxcavation mode. This mode allows you to challenge specific enemies for various rewards. While the fights themselves provide a decent amount of XP, the real value lies in the consumable items you can obtain, which are essential for leveling up your Sinners.
Using Consumable Items
If grinding XP manually isn't your style, you can use Level Boost Tickets and Identity Training Tickets to level up your Sinners' Identities. These consumables are designed specifically for character leveling and come in various rarities.
Identity Training Tickets
Identity Training Tickets provide a flat amount of XP to an Identity, similar to level-up materials in other gacha games like Honkai Star Rail or Genshin Impact. They're excellent for reducing the XP grind, but you'll need a substantial number to max out a single character. These tickets are available in four tiers, each offering increasing amounts of XP:
- Identity Training Ticket I: 50 Identity XP
- Identity Training Ticket II: 200 Identity XP
- Identity Training Ticket III: 1000 Identity XP
- Identity Training Ticket IV: 3000 Identity XP
You can primarily obtain these tickets by farming the EXP Luxcavation stages. They're also available through the free and paid Limbus Passes, as well as periodic attendance check events.
Level Boost Tickets
Level Boost Tickets instantly elevate your Sinners' Identities to a specific level, bypassing the need for XP. These are highly valuable due to their ability to shortcut the leveling process, but they're also much rarer. You can acquire them mainly through the Limbus Pass, with occasional availability during attendance check events. Unlike training tickets, they cannot be farmed. Different Level Boost Tickets will raise your characters to the following levels:
- Level Boost Ticket I: Level 10
- Level Boost Ticket II: Level 20
- Level Boost Ticket III: Level 30
- Level Boost Ticket IV: Level 40
As of now, Identities can reach a maximum level of 50. To level up multiple characters efficiently, consider balancing the use of your Level Boost Tickets and Identity Training Tickets.
To use these consumables, navigate to the Sinners menu and long-press the portrait of the character you wish to level up.
