Limbus Company banners

Should you pull? Live from October 29 at 12:00 KST to November 12 at 10:00 KST, and both kits are published, so this is answerable rather than a pair of names. It is pick-one, and the two are built for opposite jobs. Heathcliff is the Le Rouge half: Pierce on every skill, Envy, Lust and Wrath across his sins, 280 HP and 65 Defense, and a design that pays its own health for damage. His second passive is the engine, not a drawback, and the rates are specific: every 3% HP he loses is +1 Pulsation (Ally) Count, capped at 20 a turn, and every 1.5% HP he loses is 1 Tiny and Sharp Nails. HP costs from his own Base Skills cannot stagger him or take him below 1 HP, and at 1 HP those costs are paid for free, so the self-damage is genuinely free rather than merely survivable. At 3 Needlekin he fires an extra Double stitching at random enemies at the end of an attack skill, and he gains Needlekin every turn end on a third passive, so that trigger comes round on its own. The detail that should decide your shards is in his first passive, and this page stated it too loosely for three days: the passive does not check for Sinclair the Sinner, it names **Haute Couture::The Crimson God of Le Rouge Sinclair** specifically. The free base Sinclair, or any other Sinclair Identity you own, does nothing for it. With that one on the field at turn start Heathcliff gains Cry of the Cocoon - Frail, and the second half of the passive is the part worth the shards: at max Frail stacks, **or the moment that Sinclair is carrying Noble Dignity**, the stacks convert to Cry of the Cocoon - Vicious, and she then gains Crimson Cradle and heals 5% HP on hit with La Demande's Coins. Since Noble Dignity is her own passive, owning her does not just satisfy a condition, it skips the stack requirement and buys her a heal back. The pair is a two-card combo. Her channel closed at 10:00 KST on October 29, two hours before this banner opened, so if you did not pull her the Dispenser craft comes before this banner rather than after it. Note that the concurrent Thumb Extraction also lists a Sinclair, East Soldato II, and it is not the one this passive wants. Hong Lu is the opposite animal and the sturdiest Identity Season 8 has shipped: Blunt damage, 316 HP, 69 Defense, one stagger threshold at 45% (142 HP), and Blunt arriving at half damage against him. He runs on Preservation, the Le Noir Charge variant Don Quixote introduced, gains Ready to Narrate at up to one stack a turn, and his Le Noir: Worsted passive raises his Defense Skill clash power off his Preservation count and hands him a Worsted Overcoat at 8 or more. His skills reach for Tremor, Tremor Burst, Sloth Resist Down, Shield, Protection and Assist Defense, which makes him a wall and a Tremor enabler rather than a damage source. The practical read: own Sinclair or Ishmael and Heathcliff compounds what you already have; run Le Noir behind Ryoshu and Don Quixote and Hong Lu is the fit, with the most durable body in the season attached. Note his Pierce weakness is Fatal at double damage, so the wall has a hole in it. Either way the Dispenser means a miss here is a delay, not a loss.

Window confirmed 2026-10-29 against limbuscompany.wiki.gg's Extraction/Banner History: 2026.10.29 12:00 to 2026.11.12 10:00 KST. That retires the NEEDS_REVIEW this row carried from the teaser onward and records the end date, which is now printed rather than projected. Worth logging that the November 12 this file refused to assert from cadence was the right arithmetic; it is written down now because a source prints it, not because the guess landed. The same-day handoff held for the fourth time: Sinclair out at 10:00, this in at 12:00. Kits read from the two Identity pages the same day. Heathcliff: 3-Star (000), Pierce on all skills, 280 HP, Defense Level 65, stagger thresholds 50% (140 HP) and 30% (84 HP), Speed 3~7 / 3~7 / 3~6 / 2~6, Slash Fatal (x2) and Pierce Ineffective (x0.5), traits Sisyphe and Le Rouge; statuses Pulsation, Bleed, Needlekin, Naildle, Tiny and Sharp Nails, Taxidermized, Pierce Fragility, L'Abject and Bind. The per-skill sin spread is now sourced rather than inferred, which retires the NEEDS_REVIEW this field carried: the Identity page's raw wikitext carries an explicit `sin=` per skill, and it reads S1 Envy ("Bla Bla Warp Bla, Yap Yap Weft Yap"), S2 Lust ("Stitch! Per! Inch!"), S3 Wrath, S3-2 Lust ("Double stitching past the side seam? Double-needle! Rejected!") and Defense Lust ("Gnnnngh..."). The Envy/Lust/Wrath spread two earlier passes read off the skill icons was correct; it is now quoted. All five skills are Pierce, and the resistance block reads slash=Fatal, pierce=Ineff, blunt=Normal, with stagger thresholds at 50 and 30, matching what is recorded above. Hong Lu: 3-Star (000), Blunt, 316 HP, Defense Level 69, one stagger threshold at 45% (142 HP), Pierce Fatal (x2) and Blunt Inefficient (x0.5), traits Sisyphe and Le Noir; statuses Preservation, Tremor, Tremor Burst, Auditive Punishment, Time to Listen, Ready to Narrate, Sloth Resist Down, Sloth DMG Up, Assist Defense, Shield, Protection and Unbreakable Coin. Hong Lu's sin affinities are resolved too, by the same method and on the same day, so `element` no longer carries the damage type alone: his raw wikitext gives S1 Gloom ("Please Listen to Me"), S2 Envy ("Repeat on Repeat"), S3 Sloth ("Horribly Infinite Replay"), S3-2 Sloth ("Customer Announcement") and Defense Sloth ("Warning Announcement", type Guard), so he is **Gloom / Envy / Sloth** and Sloth-dominant, with three of five skills on Sloth. His block also confirms rarity=3, keywords Sisyphe and Le Noir, defmod +4, slash=Normal, pierce=Fatal, blunt=Ineff and a single stagger threshold at 45, all matching what was recorded on flip day. That his Defense Skill is a Guard rather than an Evade or a Counter is new, and it fits the wall reading above. Individual coin counts and potency values are left out rather than paraphrased at second hand, and both pages were truncated on read, so the passive lists above may be incomplete. The October 26 Hong Lu preview this file declined to use (Preservation, Tremor, SP damage, Sloth Resist Down) turns out to have been broadly right, which is logged for calibration and changes nothing: it still was not written until a primary source carried it.

Should you pull? Live on exactly the same window as the headliner, October 29 at 12:00 KST to November 12 at 10:00 KST, and it is a different kind of banner: no debut, no pick-one, just a rate-up across everything Yi Sang already has. Fourteen Identities and three E.G.O. The wiki splits the Identities into two groups, nine then five, which tracks the 000 and 00 tiers. In the nine: LCE E.G.O::Dimension Shredder, The House of Spiders: The Index Nursefather, Heishou Pack - Wu Branch Adept, N Corp. E.G.O::Fell Bullet, Liu Assoc. South Section 3, The Ring Pointillist Student, W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent, Effloresced E.G.O::Spicebush, and Blade Lineage Salsu. In the five: LCE E.G.O::Lantern, Dieci Assoc. South Section 4, The Pequod First Mate, Molar Office Fixer, and Seven Assoc. South Section 6. The three E.G.O are Fell Bullet, Dimension Shredder and Wishing Cairn. Who this is for: it is a shortcut, not a gate. Everything on it is craftable through the Dispenser whether or not you extract here, so the only thing the rate-up buys you is a cheaper route to a Yi Sang you were going to build anyway. If you are not building Yi Sang, the shards belong on the headliner. One overlap worth noticing, because it is the kind of thing a single-banner page hides: The Ring Pointillist Student Yi Sang was on the faction Extraction that closed on October 29 and is on this one too, so it has now been rated up in two consecutive fortnights on two different banners.

Window and roster read 2026-11-01 from the raw wikitext of limbuscompany.wiki.gg's Extraction/Banner History (?action=raw), in the "Sinner Target Extraction" table, Season 8: PUNCTUM block: 2026.10.29 12:00 - 2026.11.12 10:00. This banner track was missing from this file entirely until today; see the header note. The 9/5 split of the Identity list is reproduced from the table's two rate-up rows. NEEDS_REVIEW on one reading: the table does not label those rows with rarities, so mapping them to 000 and 00 is inferred from the grouping and from the Identities named, not stated by the source. The names, the counts and the window are quoted directly. Individual Identity kits are deliberately not summarised here, because this is a 14-Identity back catalogue and paraphrasing each at second hand is how the build-guide errors in CONTENT_ROUTINE.md happened. `featured` is empty on purpose, the same call and for the same reason as the Path to Nowhere live banner: bannersTitle() and bannersDescription() read the featured arrays of every current banner, and a single "Yi Sang" chip in there rewrote the page description to "Heathcliff, Hong Lu and Yi Sang are live until November 12", which reads as a new Yi Sang Identity debuting and is not what this banner is. A back-catalogue rate-up has no headliner to name, so it names none and the roster lives in the verdict above. Do not "fix" this by adding one.

Should you pull? The third live Extraction, same window again: October 29 at 12:00 KST to November 12 at 10:00 KST. This is the faction track, which rates up Identities by organisation rather than by Sinner, and it is running four Thumb Identities: Nursefather Rodion and Apprentice Heathcliff from The House of Spiders, plus East Soldato II Sinclair and East Capo IIII Meursault. Read the two traps on it before you spend. **The Sinclair here is not the Sinclair that Heathcliff's passive wants.** That passive names Haute Couture::The Crimson God of Le Rouge Sinclair specifically, so East Soldato II does nothing for it, and extracting here hoping to switch the headliner's combo on is money thrown away. **The Heathcliff here is not the headliner either**: Apprentice Heathcliff and King of Needleworks Heathcliff are two different Identities on two banners that opened the same minute. Past those, it is the same logic as the Yi Sang banner. The Dispenser crafts all four regardless, so this is a convenience for someone already collecting the faction, and the faction track is the one that does not come round reliably: eleven have run since February 2025, against a Sinner banner every fortnight.

Window and roster read 2026-11-01 from the raw wikitext of Extraction/Banner History, in the div titled "Faction and BokGak Extractions", Season 8: PUNCTUM block: 2026.10.29 12:00 - 2026.11.12 10:00, featuring The House of Spiders: The Thumb Nursefather Rodion, The House of Spiders: The Thumb Apprentice Heathcliff, The Thumb East Soldato II Sinclair and The Thumb East Capo IIII Meursault. This track was also missing from this file until today. The "eleven since February 2025" count is the full length of that table, checked row by row rather than estimated: Blade Lineage & Kurokumo Clan, La Manchaland Bloodfiends, 1st+2nd Walpurgis Bokgak, Heishou Pack, WARP Corporation, 2nd+3rd Walpurgis Bokgak, Hongyuan, 3rd+4th Walpurgis Bokgak, 4th+5th Walpurgis Bokgak, The Ring, The Thumb. `featured` is empty for the same reason as the Yi Sang row above: the four names here resolve through shortUnitName() to "Rodion", "Heathcliff", "Sinclair" and "Meursault", and feeding those into the generated description produced "Heathcliff, Hong Lu and Rodion are live until November 12", which invents a Rodion debut. The four Identities are named in the verdict instead. Do not add chips here.

Should you pull? All three live Extractions close together on November 12 at 10:00 KST, and **Project Moon has not announced what replaces any of them.** That is a checked absence rather than a gap in this page: its own announcement feed's newest post is still October 26, and nothing there mentions November 12. The useful thing to know is when the answer arrives. Project Moon posts a "New Identity Target Extraction" notice about six days before a flip and a "Scheduled Update Notice" about three, twice over in October: October 23 and October 26 for the October 29 flip, October 9 and October 12 for the October 15 one. So the November 12 line-up should be public somewhere between **November 5 and November 9**, and this page is checked daily. What the rotation suggests, stated as reasoning rather than as fact: the Sinner Target Extraction has run a strict fortnight all year, and across the thirteen that have run since Don Quixote 7 closed on April 30, **Don Quixote and Heathcliff are the only two of the twelve Sinners who have not had one.** The iteration counters agree, because every other Sinner is on a 6th, 7th or 8th run while Don Quixote sits on 7 and Heathcliff on 6, the lowest of anyone in 2026. Both also just received new seasonal Identities, Don Quixote on October 1 and Heathcliff on October 29. None of that is an announcement, and no name is being put on this entry until one exists. The seasonal headliner and the faction banner are not predictable from cadence at all: the faction track skips most fortnights.

Added 2026-11-01. NEEDS_REVIEW by construction: this entry deliberately carries no featured units, no end date and no Sinner name, because nothing is announced and the only honest content for a "next banner" slot is the close date, the reveal window and the reasoning. The November 12 10:00 KST close is quoted from limbuscompany.wiki.gg's Extraction/Banner History for all three live rows. The reveal window is derived from timestamps on Project Moon's own Steam announcement feed (appid 1973530), checked today: "2026.10.29 (KST) New Identity Target Extraction" posted 2026-10-23 and "2026, Oct. 29th Scheduled Update Notice" posted 2026-10-26, against an October 29 flip, with the October 15 flip showing the same 6-day and 3-day lead. The thirteen-banner Sinner rotation claim was checked row by row against the raw wikitext rather than sampled, per the October 26 rule in MEASUREMENT.md that a superlative is a claim about the whole table: Meursault 6, Sinclair 6, Ishmael 7, Gregor 7, Outis 7, Rodion 7, Hong Lu 8, Faust 7, Ryōshū 7, Meursault 7, Gregor 8, Ishmael 8, Yi Sang 7. Do not promote this entry to a named banner from cadence alone. This file guessed November 12 correctly from cadence in October and still refused to print it until a source did, and that precedent is the one to follow rather than the fact that the guess landed.
