How Burn works
Burn is a damage-over-time status that hurts a unit at the end of every turn. It is easy to stack, but its damage ceiling is low.
Burn has Potency and Count. Potency is the fixed damage dealt, and Count is how many more turns it lasts. When a turn ends, the burning unit takes fixed damage equal to Potency, then loses 1 Count. Because the damage is fixed, it ignores buffs like Protection, level scaling, and enemy resistances or weaknesses. Potency tops out at 99, so one part can take at most 99 extra damage per turn from Burn alone. Burn is tied to the Wrath affinity, and every Burn-focused Identity has at least one Wrath skill. Some Identities spend Burn Count to deal extra Wrath damage right away, or trigger the Burn themselves without waiting for turn end. Unique Burn effects like Dark Flame turn Burn into a much bigger Pride hit. Inside Mirror Dungeons, E.G.O Gifts that raise the Potency cap and debuffs like Shattered World can push Burn to 180 damage per turn.
Team tips
- ✦Burn shines against enemies with small HP bars and Abnormalities with many parts, since each part burns separately.
- ✦Expect weak results against high-HP bosses with only one or two parts.
- ✦Pick Identities that consume or trigger Burn on demand to get around the low damage cap.
- ✦In Mirror Dungeons, look for Gifts that raise the Burn Potency cap.
- How does Burn work in Limbus Company?
- At the end of each turn, a burning unit takes fixed damage equal to its Burn Potency, and Burn Count drops by 1. When Count hits zero, the Burn ends.
- What is the max Burn Potency in Limbus Company?
- Potency is capped at 99, so Burn alone cannot deal more than 99 extra damage per part each turn. Mirror Dungeon Gifts can raise this ceiling.
- Is Burn good against bosses in Limbus Company?
- Usually not against bosses with large HP and few parts, because the damage cap is low. It works best on enemies with small HP bars or many parts.
