Limbus Company Tier List: Best Identities for Season 8 (November 2026)
Limbus Company tier list for Season 8, November 2026: Index Nursefather Yi Sang, Spider Ryōshū and Le Noir Don Quixote lead our ranking of Identities.
The strongest Identities in Limbus Company right now are The House of Spiders: The Index Nursefather Yi Sang, Blade of the House of Spiders Ryōshū and Haute Couture::Le Noir Brand Manager Don Quixote, with Dawn Office Rep Gregor and the two top Faust IDs close behind. Our Limbus Company tier list is current through the October 29, 2026 update in Season 8 (PUNCTUM), and it ranks the two newest Haute Couture IDs, Hong Lu and Heathcliff, provisionally.
Key takeaways
How we ranked Identities
Ranks are our opinion, weighted toward the current Mirror Dungeon (Mirror of Sisyphe) first and story content (Canto X: The Gaze Bearing) second. We only list 3-star Identities, since that’s where pulls go. Release dates, factions and kit keywords come from Project Moon’s update notices and the community Limbus Company Wiki Season 8 page.
One caution: an Identity’s value depends on its team. A Tremor ID in a Bleed lineup is wasted, so read the keyword column before you spend Lunacy.
Limbus Company tier list (Season 8, November 2026)
S+ IDs anchor top teams on their own. S IDs are excellent in the right lineup. A is solid but situational.
| Tier | Identity | Keywords | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| S+ | The House of Spiders: The Index Nursefather Yi Sang | Sinking, Poise | The centerpiece of Sinking teams, with Poise for crits on the side. |
| S+ | Blade of the House of Spiders Ryōshū | Burn, Bleed, Poise | Three keywords means she fits more teams than almost anyone. |
| S+ | Haute Couture::Le Noir Brand Manager Don Quixote | Tremor, Charge | Her Promised Nail stacks pay off on Tremor Burst; the best Season 8 ID so far. |
| S+ | Dawn Office Rep Gregor | Tremor, Burn | Bridges Tremor and Burn, and pairs well with the new Le Noir IDs. |
| S+ | Heishou Pack – Mao Branch Adept Faust | Rupture | The Rupture ID most teams build around. |
| S | Dawn Office Fixer Faust | Burn, Tremor | Strong in the same shells as Dawn Office Gregor; slightly less flexible. |
| S | Haute Couture::The Crimson God of Le Rouge Sinclair | Bleed | Feeds Bleed Count every turn; the Le Rouge damage anchor. |
| S | Haute Couture::Le Noir Footwear Hall Ryōshū | Tremor | Reliable Tremor stacking that makes Don Quixote better. |
| S | Haute Couture::Le Noir 3F Public Address Room Hong Lu (provisional) | Tremor | Adds Preservation, SP damage and Sloth Resist Down to a Tremor team. |
| S | Haute Couture::Boutique du Rouge Ishmael | Bleed | Her support passive boosts healing for the first two deployed allies by 20%. |
| A | Haute Couture::Le Rouge King of Needleworks Heathcliff (provisional) | Bleed, Charge | Fun and aggressive, but his best team isn’t clear yet. |
| A | Haute Couture::Alteration Shop Rodion | Mixed | Sits outside both Le Noir and Le Rouge, so she lacks a ready-made Season 8 team. |
Who is the best Identity in Limbus Company?
For a new or mid-level account, we’d say Blade of the House of Spiders Ryōshū. Three status keywords let one ID slot into Burn, Bleed or Poise teams, which matters a lot when your roster is thin. For a veteran chasing one team, Nursefather Yi Sang is the bigger ceiling, but only if you run Sinking.
Both Dawn Office picks are Walpurgisnacht IX IDs (July 9, 2026), so they only return in limited extractions. Check any other older ID’s pool before planning a team around it.
Season 8 Haute Couture Identities, ranked
Every Season 8 ID belongs to the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, split into the Le Noir and Le Rouge houses plus one outsider. Here’s the full release run, with dates from the wiki’s Identity pages.
| Release (KST) | Identity | House |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 17, 2026 | Le Noir Footwear Hall Ryōshū | Le Noir |
| Sep 17, 2026 | Boutique du Rouge Ishmael | Le Rouge |
| Sep 24, 2026 | Alteration Shop Rodion | Neither |
| Oct 1, 2026 | Le Noir Brand Manager Don Quixote | Le Noir |
| Oct 15, 2026 | The Crimson God of Le Rouge Sinclair | Le Rouge |
| Oct 29, 2026 | Le Rouge King of Needleworks Heathcliff | Le Rouge |
| Oct 29, 2026 | Le Noir 3F Public Address Room Hong Lu | Le Noir |
Count it up: seven IDs across 42 days, or one every six days on average, though they actually landed in batches 7, 7, 14 and 14 days apart. The houses split evenly, three Le Noir and three Le Rouge, which tells you Project Moon is building two full Season 8 teams rather than one. If you can only commit to one house, Le Noir is ahead for us: Don Quixote, Ryōshū and Hong Lu all stack Tremor, and Dawn Office Gregor already fits beside them.
Is the new Hong Lu worth pulling?
If you run Tremor, yes. Project Moon’s preview shows Preservation, Tremor, repeated coin effects, SP damage and Sloth Resist Down, a toolkit that fills gaps the other Le Noir IDs leave. If you don’t run Tremor, wait. We’ll firm up the rank once players have him uptied.
What about King of Needleworks Heathcliff?
He’s the aggressive half of the October 29 banner, hurling needle creatures at enemies, and his kit builds on Bleed and Pulsation according to the wiki. He’s ranked A until his best team is clearer. Fans love him; fandom isn’t a tier, though.
Best teams to build in Season 8
Teams win Mirror Dungeon runs, not single IDs. These are the four shells we’d prioritize this season, based on the keyword spread above.
- Tremor: Le Noir Brand Manager Don Quixote, Le Noir Footwear Hall Ryōshū, Le Noir 3F Hong Lu and Dawn Office Rep Gregor. The deepest new team this season.
- Bleed: The Crimson God of Le Rouge Sinclair, Boutique du Rouge Ishmael and Blade of the House of Spiders Ryōshū. Ishmael’s healing boost helps it survive longer fights.
- Sinking: Nursefather Yi Sang as the core. Strong ceiling, but Season 8 added nothing to it.
- Rupture: Mao Branch Adept Faust as the core. Same story: good now, no new support this season.
For an F2P account, Tremor is the best use of Season 8 pulls, since four of its members are recent or well-supported.
If you also play other gachas, our Arknights tier list, Azur Lane tier list and Epic Seven tier list rank their current units.
FAQ
When does the Hong Lu and Heathcliff extraction end?
The October 29, 2026 target extraction for Le Noir 3F Public Address Room Hong Lu and Le Rouge King of Needleworks Heathcliff runs through November 12 (KST). Check Project Moon’s notices on Limbus Company’s Steam news page for the exact end time.
Is Limbus Company on PC?
Yes. Limbus Company is on Steam for PC as well as Android and iOS, and Project Moon posts patch notices and Identity previews on its Steam news page. Season 8 content, including Canto X and Mirror of Sisyphe, is the same across platforms.
Are 2-star Identities worth using?
Yes, as filler. Many teams need a specific status keyword more than a high rarity, and some 2-star IDs supply that. Upgrade them cheaply while you wait for the 3-star IDs that fit your main team, then swap them out.
Pick a house. Build the team. Then pull.

Her work moves across news, practical guides, reviews, gaming gear, and the wider culture around games. Whether she is breaking down a new console feature or explaining a mechanic in a familiar favorite, she writes with a straightforward goal: help readers understand what matters and what to do next. She pays particular attention to the small details that shape the playing experience. A controller compatibility rule, a battery-life setting, a difficult-to-find resource, or a change introduced by a game update can make the difference between a frustrating evening and a rewarding one. Her published coverage includes Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 questions, Terraria, Stardew Valley, and The Sims 4, with explanations that welcome readers who may be discovering a game for the first time or returning after time away. Cassia's style is clear, patient, and grounded in practical examples. Rather than assuming readers already know the terminology, she begins with the question at hand, adds the context that genuinely helps, and keeps instructions easy to follow. She is interested not only in how a feature works, but also why its design matters—especially when a small interaction, interface decision, or unexpected mechanic changes how a game feels. Outside her gaming coverage, Cassia enjoys colorful postcards, making books, and noticing the shapes, colors, and details built into everyday objects. That curiosity carries naturally into her writing, where overlooked features and thoughtful design can provide a fresh way to look at a game. Her aim is for every article to be useful on its own: approachable enough for a newcomer, specific enough for someone looking for a quick answer, and enjoyable enough to leave readers with something new to explore.
