Limbo Complete Guide: December 1 to 15, 2023

New Limbo stages has arrived for the period of 1st December 2023 – 15th December 2023 and DotGG is here to help you get through all six stages!

As usual, Limbo resets twice a month, and we're here again to equip you with a guide for conquering December's first-half Limbo. Big thanks to @shirofm5476 for sharing his wisdom on how to tackle Stages 5 and 6 – be sure to check out his channel and give his Limbo gameplay videos a thumbs-up! After dissecting each stage's details, we'll dive into optimal team compositions and wrap up with some practical tips to guide you through this early-December challenge.

Universal Limbo Stage Rules (December 1st - 16th)

Ally: After casting a 1-target Ultimate, gain Moxie +2.

While single-target Ultimate characters will benefit, this rule doesn't significantly impact the next two weeks. Stages I-IV are relatively easy for most players, so we've only included video references for Stages V and VI. However, the team compositions discussed later are applicable to all stages for this Limbo period.

Wrapping Things Up

Once again, we extend our sincere gratitude to @shirofm5476 for uploading his Limbo gameplay footage to his channel, which we used as a valuable reference.

Thank you, dear readers, for choosing DotGG to provide you with the best strategies and guides before tackling Limbo Stages EX I through EX VI.
