It's a little ironic that Limit Break and Gold/Chicken [Always] were introduced in the same patch.

Everyone wanted something like Gold/Chicken [Always] so badly because when you get to a certain point it destroys the pace of the game to have to constantly mash through level ups, and if you're confident enough that you don't need the Chicken (or if you have Disco of Gold active so the Gold is healing you anyway), but then there's Limit Break where you get right back into that but worse since while Random Always is there as an option, it'll inevitably over-invest into Area and start causing problems and instead of just mashing through the level up screens there is a reason why you would want to actually pay attention to what you're selecting.

By the way, apparently Speed and Duration from Limit Break are capped. Does this mean that once they hit the cap they stop getting dealt? If so, does Amount also stop once you get an amount equal to the weapon's pool limit, or does it just keep getting dealt so you can keep getting upgrades that aren't actually doing anything?

I'm not remembering anything to be capped out. I tried a Sole level 2XXX, he is getting huge flowers which fly away at an insane speed and OS almost anything (weapon restriction to 1 and the only egg I got was from the map). As it's name implies, you break the limits

[Vexleigh]

The first time I tested Limit Break, I was using Red Death, 1-weapon limit. I believe I maxed Speed during that run, it just stopped being offered.

Some Limit Breakable stats have caps, probably to try and prevent the game from breaking. Others don't, though I don't know how they behave. I do know too much Area slows the game down.

It doesn't take long to get to a point where you'd level so fast that random completely outclasses everything thrown at you anyway. Does it matter if you have enough might to instakill everything or enough might to super instakill everything?

[Eddy]

It'd still be a good thing to have access to an "Automatic" mode instead of "Random" where you can set your priorities in advance and have the game just pick what you want itself. It trades flexibility (that you don't really need) for automation, much as the same as picking Always Gold or Always Chicken.

I've made a bot that uses CV to pick the best choices on level up. It's kinda slow (taking 1-5 seconds per upgrade) and sometimes does not recognize stuff, though.

size has no limit, amount has a limit of 50 of the same projectile on screen, speed is essentially limited to just vanishing as soon as its fired. once you hit a limit im p sure it keeps being offered but its useless.
