Summary
- AI Limit's combat and visuals are popular among Soulslike fans, offering unique ideas like the Sync Gauge.
- Seals in AI Limit function similarly to medallions in other ARPGs, with Main Seals obtained at specific points.
- Early-game Seals like Tide of Life and Stability offer significant boosts that can help players progress efficiently.
In the short time since its release, AI Limit's take on Soulslike combat has proven to be popular with fans of the genre. The anime-inspired visuals give the game an interesting style, along with a unique take on combat with ideas like the Sync Gauge. Players take control of the Blader Arissa, who is on a mission to restore her memories and bring life back to the world.
There are many items in AI Limit that will be familiar to Soulslike players, filling similar functions to their counterparts in other ARPGs. One such item is Seals. These stat-boosting equipable items are similar to medallions in Elden Ring. Players can equip one Main Seal, more powerful seals that are more rarely obtained, and up to five normal Seals.
AI Limit: Best Early-Game Weapons, Ranked
In the early game of AI Limit, the following weapons will serve players reliably for some time.
Most Main Seals are earned at specific points in the game or from NPCs, but regular Seals are found as item pickups around the world and can be much easier to miss. As such, new players may want to know where the best pickups are to help with the early game. For those players, these are the best early-game Seals in AI Limit.
9 Tide Of Life
HP Up
- Effects: Increase LP by 10%
- Location: Sunken City Underground - Underground Parish Branch to Parish Avenue
More max life is always a good thing, but the first regular Seal for this purpose adds an insignificant 5%. However, this normal Seal with a 10% boost to max LP can be found relatively early, next to the statue on Parish Avenue. This additional boost makes the Seal Tide Of Life well worth getting.
8 Stability
Lower Synce Gauge Drain
- Effects: Stability +100
- Location: Sewer Town - North Branch to Sedimentation Tank
Stability reduces the amount of Sync Gauge lost when players get hit, which can be important for maintaining a high damage output in AI Limit - a vitally important aspect of the game's combat. This significant stability-boosting Seal can be found near the Railgun Sewer Cleaner in the Sedimentation Tank in Sewer Town.
7 Stone Builder
Higher Sync Gauge Gain
- Effects: Conversion +15
- Location: Outer Wall Ruins - Ancient Machineworks Branch (defeat Panic Reaper)
Gaining Sync Gauge more quickly when attacking is great for both maintaining DPS and keeping powerful attack skills and spells available for use. Conversion is the stat that governs how quickly players build Sync Gauge, and this Seal provides a decent boost. Players will need to defeat the Panic Reaper miniboss in the Ancient Machineworks to obtain it, though.
AI Limit: Best Stats To Upgrade, Ranked
There are five stats available in AI Limit for players to upgrade. Here's a rundown on which ones should be prioritized.
6 Jade Form
Defense Boost
- Effects: All defenses +30
- Location: Sunken City Overground - Flooded Street Branch to Aetherium Mansion
The +30 boost to all physical and elemental defenses offered by the Jade Form Seal isn't huge, but it does offer some across-the-board additional protection on top of the player's armor. This Seal is easily obtained early in the game by interacting with the memory in the Aetherium Mansion, prior to the area's main boss.
5 Deadwood Form
Resistance Boost
- Effects: All resistance +30
- Location: Twilight Hill - Withered Forest Branch to Deadwoods
Resistance to status effects starts to become more relevant as players move into the mid-game of AI Limit, so it's useful to pick up this Seal when players are in the Withered Forest. +30 to All status resistance isn't the most powerful buff in the game, but it can still come in handy, making the Seal worth the effort of obtaining in the early game.
4 Conversion
Sync Rate Energy Level
- Effects: Upgrades Main Seal's Sync Rate energy level from 1 to 2
- Location: Sunken City Underground - Underground Parish Branch to Mural Terrace
Conversion is a powerful regular Seal for players who are comfortable managing their Sync Gauge. This Seal upgrades the Main Seals Sync Rate energy level, which allows players to get better buffs from having a high Sync Gauge. There are several of these regular seals with increasing levels, but the first one can be obtained by interacting with the memory at Mural Terrace.

3 Scattered Stars
Improved Counter
- Effects: Counter Field no longer costs Sync Gauge
- Location: Sunken City Underground - Underground Parish Branch to Living Pond
For players who want to focus on parries using the counter-field, the Scattered Stars Seal is essential. This Seal means that using the counter field no longer costs Sync Gauge, so the powerful defensive option can be used freely. The Living Pond can be easy to miss, requiring a couple of drops in the upper area near Underground Parish, but the Seal can be obtained by interacting with the memory there.
2 Seal Of Pilgrim
Early Main Seal
- Effect 1: Stability +70
- Effect 2: 15% less damage taken from poison, piercing, and infection
- Effect 3: All defense +50 when affected by a status ailment
- Location: Outer Wall Ruins - Slums Branch to Temporary Campsite (speak to Shirley)
There aren't many options for Main Seals in the early game of AI Limit. These more powerful Seals have multiple effects and determine the overall status of the player's Sync Gauge. One of the earliest options players will get for the non-default Main Seal is Seal of Pilgrim, which is obtained automatically when speaking to Shirley in the Temporary Campsite. This option offers a bit more survivability than other early Main Seals.
1 Standard Seal Of Bladers
Stability And Conversion Booster
- Effect 1: Stability +30%
- Effect 2: Conversion +24% when Sync Gauge is above 70%
- Effect 3: Stability +40% when Sync Gauge is above 70%
- Location: Sunken City Overground - Rooftop Street Branch to Lounge (speak to Feylia)
The Standard Seal of Bladers is one of the earliest Main Seal options that players can find, and it's a potent option for maintaining a high Sync Gauge. Players only need to find Feylia near the Lounge in Suken City Overground and speak to her to obtain this Seal. It's a more attack-focused option than the Seal of Pilgrim, so this Main Seal is better suited to players who prefer an aggressive playstyle. Overall, it might be the best Main Seal option in the earliest parts of the game.
