So here's the thing about bugs in gacha games - they always seem to hit the coolest characters first. This time it's The House of Spiders: The Middle Apprentice Ishmael in Limbus Company, and yeah, her defense skill is acting weird.
Project Moon dropped the news earlier today about a shield-gaining effect that's not working as intended. The bug popped up right after Thursday's scheduled update on January 29th, 2026. From what I can gather, it's something to do with her Combat Start passive - you know, the one that's supposed to trigger when you hit 6+ Envy A-Resonance. But right now? It's just not doing what it should.
Look, I get why people are frustrated. You pull for a character, especially one from The House of Spiders faction (which honestly has some of the coolest designs in the game), and you expect them to work properly. The good news is Project Moon is usually pretty quick with these fixes. Remember when Sinclair's charge count was broken last month? They had that patched within 48 hours.
What bugs me is we don't have specifics on what exactly is broken. Is she generating too much shield? Not enough? Is the passive not triggering at all? Project Moon's being vague here, which makes it hard to know if she's still worth using in Mirror Dungeons right now.
For now, I'd say hold off on investing too many thread and experience tickets into Spider Ishmael until we get the patch. No point maxing out a character who might be performing way differently next week. But hey, at least they caught it early, right?
