what have your reinforces been post 100?
#G5/z89-5
grizzled thunder

s110 and that's it
grizzled thunder
nice, S109 for me. i was eyeballing S118 with the extra overdrive charger as the next one to do
ebon falcon
have had a few days of just no time to pay attention to the game, so we've def slowed down
but i think i wanna try and get a bit further before reinforcing again, s118 will be nice if I make myself do it
i have a lot of banked fuel for G5, so I may do a few runs tonight

I have to choose between rushing B23, B25, or B27. Which one should I do first?
crude sequoia
In numerical order. 23 and 25 first, after that 27.
hollow raven
Should I rush BB1, or wait until stronger? I'm guessing the reason to clear it early is for farming purposes.

i built up some fleet strength first, but the extra scrap when you do clear it is v nice
hollow raven
I can 1-shot it with a 1.7 fleet apparently. I'll do it next run
grizzled thunder
have the artifact tree up to the resource nodes on lvl4, wonder if I should just spring to splicing now or continue buying all the cheaper stuff
grizzled thunder
my base6 multiplier is 1.42x but still seems like it’s gonna take quite a few extra runs to get all artifacts
loud pine
it will unlock a few buffs, mostly to itself, that will be useful in next reinforce
grizzled thunder
yeah I was thinking my next reinforce would be 127 (did 109 and 118), which would net two splicing upgrades
hollow raven
This advisor is BS lol. Validated it at 8. Tried the battle putting the ship in each of the 10 squares, all failed to get a win.
ebon falcon
i’ve had a few that just don’t seem possible, maybe it was from a prior update? only thing i can think of is that something changed in ship behavior that made an old result invalid. or the advisor is a liar
pliant jacinth

if it validates it as far as I know it literally runs the exact same battle just not visible...double check that your mods are what you think they are (I think there is maybe a bug with validating the advisor switching what is displayed but not changing what is equipped?)
also I just tested it in practice mode and got it no issues

glossy vine
yeah I'm finding a few setups in the spreadsheet that are clearly incorrect
loud pine
like what?
glossy vine
the one I was just looking at was B2 1.3x, that setup loses
that's not the first one I've come across, but can't remember the others
the advisor said 1 corvette/1 fighter so I swapped the frigate spot with a fighter and that won

Do you clear base 1 each run for the extra scrap?
loud pine
if you can afford to and it's cheaper than other scrap sources - yes

spreadsheet shows B16 with cruiser armor at 1.7 and no cruiser armor at 1.95
how do you get in at 1.7 without it

how do you get in at 1.7 without it
this works but is real expensive:
glossy vine
bhodi's spreadsheet in the pins had a config for it that worked
I was looking at squall's before
yours is better, 93.81 vs 89.72
wild lantern
for people starting galaxy 5 any tips? and do you guys know who had the best run so far?
pliant jacinth
if you search z89 you'll find some people's run histories posted, I cleared the final battle in 20 runs but 19 has been done, idk if anyone has done 18
glossy vine

follow the spreadsheets in the pins for setups. go with your gut for which direction to take, but favour R nodes for a while before S nodes
tardy coral
this layout for B5B at 1.3x stats doesnt even work and isnt even close to winning
anyone got a working layout?
alternative doesnt work either but im not sure what L1 fighter means
crystal nebula
I assume it means picking fighter from the L1 fabricator
tardy coral
ohh
but why would that make a difference if it still places only 1 fighter?
im probably just gonna use the 1.15 layout since that might work and im assuming the 1.3 layouts are made if you cleared the hazard
yeah, 1.15 worked fine
crystal nebula
I don't know about this specific battle, but I think that squall's spreadsheet (and the ones modeling it in other subchannels) is more likely to be trustworthy and understandable
crystal nebula
that's the way the other spreadsheet presents the data
Which is not ideal since the person who took that screenshot didn't have the Player Damage Type Indicators setting checked, but w/e
loud pine
well it has this
so we see that it's frigate with armor, corvette with both CL and shield, and base fighter
tardy coral
im sorry who the hell created these layouts
one frigate with missiles other without???
loud pine
just use Squalls spreadsheet
pliant jacinth
I'd use the one from Squall, but I assume that it is a typo that requires you have to try 2 whole possibilities instead of one to figure it out
tardy coral
just use Squalls spreadsheet
yeah, found it, its a little more confusing but they all seem to work
pretty annoying that google doesnt allow you to zoom into the images and you gotta figure out the layouts from something that looks like this
not impossible though
pliant jacinth

you can zoom the whole sheet/page
not ideal, but works if you can't tell from the smaller image
tardy coral
you can zoom the whole sheet/page
oh yeah i can, just that the browser takes a while to resize it for some reason
probably a lot of elements in the website
humble seal
Advisory says this is possible and it validated accurately, cannot find a configuration that comes even remotely close with these units
humble seal
Thank you
humble seal
Advisors correctly account for Hazards, right?
Well then I can't figure this one out because the hazard deletes half my team. If I put the fighters up top they eat most of the hazard shots, but then the rest of the team wipes without the armor damage.
humble seal
check this one first
Thank you this worked
I don't ever seem to have a sense of when grouping is better than lines and vice versa
viscid arrow
Is there an optimal path order for G5?
viscid arrow
Something like the wiki version of G1-G3
pliant jacinth
Something like the wiki version of G1-G3
there are the spreadsheets for battle layouts, and if you search z89 you'll find some people's run histories posted, but there is not a walkthrough of it to my knowledge
viscid arrow
Yeah I found the spread sheet didn’t know if there was one for FR use, starting FR needed, which section to upgrade etc.
Thanks tho, wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything
pliant jacinth
I cleared in 20 runs, 19 has been done, will obviously be influenced by what sector you are in when doing the runs
viscid arrow
Correctly 115 trying to push for 116
pliant jacinth
and then it took something like a dozen more runs to buy it out after clearing the battles
viscid arrow
Like first run do you what FR needed to clear the first hazard B6A
That’s my hope with first run
viscid arrow
Like first run do you what FR needed to clear the first hazard B6A
That’s what I was hoping there was a guide for 🤣
pliant jacinth
I can tell you I was in S118 when I started it, and my first run was this:
but beyond that, not sure, sorry
viscid arrow
Well hopefully 116 is enough.
Also question about unstable, what’s the order for up upgrades
pliant jacinth
I suspect it is not enough based on other posted run histories, plenty of people not getting to B6A nor B run 1
viscid arrow
Welp.
Also sorry for the ton of questions, I was able to max out crew and unlock splicing, but is says unlock in G5 but I don’t see where in G5, I swear I looked at all the rewards and non of them had to do with crew
pliant jacinth
uh, get the thing you feel you need most? and of course prioritize what is not leveled already as it has diminishing returns. what is available to pick is randomized every time though. Synth and cap/fighter stats are generally high priority items
pliant jacinth
Welp.

last node in the artifacts
viscid arrow
I see it now, would it be worth trying to b-line to spliced crew or getting surrounding upgrades first?
pliant jacinth
I would probably buy it last, personally - spliced crew will not do much when you first unlock them, and like with regular crew experience gain goes up 3x per sector (starting in S117 for spliced) so they will level a lot slower earlier on
viscid arrow
Ahhh, noted, thanks for the help, I’m just getting to the point where I have 3.5dsys banked in G5 so I hoping to push 116 first before I use it up
calm isle
so, is there any guide in which order its faster / easier to tackle hazard nodes?
loud pine
in order of node numbers
calm isle
as I thought, thanks!
raven swallow
Anyone got an idea why I can't clear B29H? I have tested several layouts from the linked google sheets. I am currently at 3.25x fleet power.
loud pine
can't say anything, if you don't post how you're trying to clear it
raven swallow
As I said, I tried several setups from the google sheets. Here are some examples. According to the posts I have found I should be able to clear it with the setup from the first image.
loud pine
wel
there's one
VERY big difference
between you and the sheets
they cleared the "enemy reinforcements" hazard
you didn't
I would suggest to do it
tardy coral
this layout on B46 gives 167 fleet resources used instead of 132 as promised
was there some update to the game?
oh my bad im on galaxy 6
south basin
I did all the (10-2)x(9-1)x8 combinations. Nothing worked. What did i miss?
south basin
I have a feeling that it may be cheated
this
loud pine
did you try fighters in b1, 3 and 5?
south basin
did you try fighters in b1, 3 and 5?
Yes, all possible combinations: (10-2)x(9-1)x(8-0) combinations
loud pine
yeah, it's cheated
@fading falcon @fallen leaf #1336079579734872217 message
this advisor is cheated, but game doesn't register that

How? and how can i detect cheating advisor?
verifying advisor should work, but it has problem with bases
that's why I'm tagging sylv, as developer
and stunthacks as person whose tool I used
so no, this advisor doesn't work

Thanks for taking time answering.
loud pine
it's advisor that would've showed if not for the 3-fighter one
since we need to wait for Sylv, to change that 3-fighter one
and I didn't find any 1.3x clear on spreadsheet
I thought, that it's better to just give you second one
but realistically speaking, in case of advisors consisting only of fighters
if you see that there's like no way that they work, since enemy overwhelms you
https://discord.com/channels/1023372620705566740/1388317656616271983
post in this channel
a lot of fighter advisors are cheated
verifying them works mostly, but for some reason doesn't work that well on bases
while, yes, you can clear some battles with only fighters, this is not the case, since your fighters are near-oneshotted, don't deal enough damage, and outnumbered

Same as above, but if you grabbed both cruisers and have the starting one, it's Used FR 98
urban idol
i am confused as to how one can beat B16 with hazard at 1.7x with 59 resources - the best I got was 63
Moving anything back (as far as I can tell) results in a loss due to hazard damage
Moving the corvette anywhere but dead center makes it die to hazard damage before it can do meaningful damage to the shotguns
i have brute forced the 4 cruiser/frigate positions to no avail

eh, fractional doesn't matter so same as your 38.84
vernal holly
But, I'll keep trying until I find it, even if I have to go trough all options
pliant jacinth
I remember messing with that battle some, getting the 38 something and deciding screw it, good enough
vernal holly
I usually go until perfection for every stage I go trough
update quite a lot of things in the spreadsheets
but, this one, 5k options, quite hard, but I'll end up finding it

yes
assuming just the one hazard
this works, I didn't really try much else so not promising it is best
errant lynx
should i try for B25 or B27 first, I have started throwing myself at b25, but is that a mistake
errant lynx
hmm, seems my shipyards might need more love then, thanks
pliant jacinth
2.35 seems to be the minimum for that battle, roughly speaking
errant lynx
oh, then maybe I'm fine then, seems like it will just take a few expeditions
toxic dagger
How do you guys achieve decimal points too? ex 45(.38)🤔
pliant jacinth
it is a setting, click the settings button in the top right of a fleet battle - the fractional amounts don't actually matter though, game chops them off
