In *Limbus Company*, the levels of your Sinners are crucial for enhancing their combat effectiveness. Like in many RPGs, you'll need to level up your team to tackle challenging content and progress through the game. Even the most powerful Sinner Identities won't fare well if they're underleveled. For newcomers, here's a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently gain XP for your characters.
While I eagerly anticipate games like *Ananta* and *Neverness To Everness*, I yearn for a stylish anime game that isn't gacha-based. I already enjoy HoYoVerse games to satisfy my gacha cravings, but I'm dreaming of a triple-A experience similar to these games, minus the RNG monetization.
Combat and Grinding --------------------New players will primarily earn XP through combat in Limbus Company. Every Sinner on your team gains XP upon successfully completing a combat encounter, whether they participated or not, though those who fought will receive more XP. However, this method is slow, akin to many F2P gacha games, and as battles become tougher, you'll need more efficient ways to level up.
Once you reach the midpoint of Canto 2, you'll unlock the Luxcavation mode. This mode allows you to challenge specific enemies, providing not only a decent amount of XP but also valuable consumable items that are key for leveling up.
Using Consumable Items
If you're looking to avoid the tedious manual grind to max out your Sinners' Identities, consumable items like Level Boost Tickets and Identity Training Tickets are your best bet. These items are specifically designed to boost your characters' levels and come in various rarities.
Identity Training Tickets
Identity Training Tickets offer a direct increase in an Identity's XP. These are akin to level-up materials in other gacha games such as *Honkai Star Rail* or *Genshin Impact*. They're effective for reducing the XP grind, but you'll need a substantial number of these tickets to max out a single character. They are available in four tiers, each providing progressively more 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 farm these tickets primarily from the EXP Luxcavation stages. They're also obtainable through the free and paid Limbus Passes, as well as periodic attendance check events.
Level Boost Tickets
Level Boost Tickets are invaluable as they instantly elevate your Sinners' Identities to a specific level, bypassing the need for XP. These are rarer than Identity Training Tickets, functioning as direct level-up shortcuts. They're mainly acquired through the Limbus Pass, with occasional availability during attendance check events. Unlike training tickets, they can't be farmed. Here's what each Level Boost Ticket can achieve:
- Level Boost Ticket I: Level 10
- Level Boost Ticket II: Level 20
- Level Boost Ticket III: Level 30
- Level Boost Ticket IV: Level 40
At the time of writing, the maximum level for Identities is 50. It's wise to strategically use both Level Boost Tickets and Identity Training Tickets to level up multiple characters efficiently.
To utilize these consumables, navigate to the Sinners menu and long-press the portrait of the character you wish to level up.
