Detailed Analysis of Walpurgis Night 7: Are Gregor and Ishmael worth investing in?
Video reviewing the two newest IDs in Limbus Company: Night Awls Gregor and Hanafuda Ishmael. Gregor has a fast playstyle, focusing on the Open Wund and Deep W effects, but the actual effectiveness is not high and needs a good support team. Ishmael combines sinking and tremor, has an interesting discard mechanic and the ability to convert chemer into Decy, but requires a large investment in ego resources to optimize power. Overall, this banner can be skipped because both IDs are not really outstanding compared to other options.

2. Night Awls Gregor Analysis: Gameplay, Skills and Power Rating
- ✅ Gregor brings a fast combat pace, taking advantage of follow ups and applying unique effects to enemies.
- ✅ All three of Gregor's skills are tied to Bed and Chammer, helping him perform well in both teams.
- ✅ The exclusive Open Wund effect reduces the target's speed, and when enough stacks are accumulated, it will transform into Deep W, starting the central mechanism in Gregor's gameplay.
- ✅ The passive allows Gregor to cast up to two Mercy follow up attacks, dealing damage proportional to the target's lost health.
- ⚠️ However, Gregor's skill set is currently ineffective in reality, the real value lies only in the high Blit amount and damage amplification from the third skill.
- ⚠️ Gregor works best in focused matches, but in terms of team value, it is very unstable and not worth investing in.
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Skill 1 | Apply Open Wund |
| Skill 3 (enhanced) | Deals increased damage based on HP and Blit amount, converts Blit to Hemorrhage |

3. Hanafuda Ishmael Analysis: Mechanics, Skills and Investment Requirements
- ✅ Ishmael combines sinking and tremor, with skill 1 applying count, skill 2 applying potency, and skill 3 having both.
- ✅ The passive and skill 2 help increase SP recovery and amplify damage against enemies with low SP.
- ✅ Skill 3 can convert chemer into Decy, a powerful effect.
- ✅ The discard mechanic helps Ishmael access skill 2 or 3 more often.
- ✅ The characteristic mechanism of Hanafuda Ishmael is to use skills of the same color as the effect card to increase potency.
- ✅ If the colors match continuously, Ishmael will receive additional potency bonuses and trigger a very powerful follow up attack.
- ⚠️ To optimize power, at least two egos need to be invested for Ishmael to match colors effectively.
- ⚠️ This is the most greedy ID in Limbus history, requiring the exchange of many ego resources.
| Card Color | Skill |
|---|---|
| Red | Skill 1 |
| Yellow | Skill 2 |
| Green | Skill 3 |
Recommended Egos:
