[lost helm]

Get a pic where he is holding a beer, that will increase the power of the pic

[lunar moon]

chat what tier list are yall usin

[sage frost]

i use a booba tier list

[fast whale]

what do you need a tier list for

i just sort everything into broken or fair

[sage frost]

i also use a fun tier list

but most of the time gooning is fun for me

[lunar moon]

i want meta shit so i can steamroll everything

what're broken 4* and 3*s

[sage frost]

the units people complain about are the broken ones

none theyre all shit kek

[lunar moon]

[sage frost]

this game is 6* only if u want broken tier list

more like use the same 6 units every map

[lunar moon]

any of these chars good? flametail,andreana,elysium

[sage frost]

elysium yes

andreana yes imo

[lunar moon]

damn, my first 6* garbo

[sage frost]

idk how dependent she is on ah buff tho but almost all the time that's how i use her

my first 6* is siege

people say she's shit but i still use her and she's great imo

[naive crypt]

flametail is fine

shes actually the best vanguard in her class for dealing with early dog rushes

in her archetype I mean

her s3 lets her tank alot of damage + she gets to block 3

[fast whale]

myrtle

she is actually one of the most used units in the game, consistently like the top used character is contingency contract the ultra endgame mode

[naive crypt]

even with all the flagbearers out shes still the best

Saileach forgotten

[sage frost]

oh flametail is the fuckin red vanguard

i was thinkin of the dude

[fast whale]

flametail is pretty decent, actually underated imo. elysium is fine but myrtle is just better in like every way

[sage frost]

flamebringer om

[fast whale]

well yea, myrtle exists

[sage frost]

ye she aight

[naive crypt]

saileach was just a failed idea for a utility vanguard

[fast whale]

its just no one would pull for her, and why bother building her for like 1% efficency over myrtle if she even is better

[sage frost]

often times when i play this game i ask myself, alright who we bringing: x unit again or try to have fun with y unit then get shit on and go back to x kek

[naive crypt]

tbh people still used Saileach if they go for double flagbearer + bagpipe in the team

what really killed her was Ines

[naive crypt]

might challenge myself on the shu event to use ops I have raised but dont use anymore

[fast whale]

there are no broken 3stars but spot/cuora are pretty good, and youll end up using them in other game modes as well. while myrtle is the only really broken 4star gummy is also a good beginner 4star, shes just a 4star version of spot/cuora

[naive crypt]

a decent 4 star would be caper

[sage frost]

i usually bring theme teams. probably gonna update the yan siblings team i got plus other yan ops

[fast whale]

idk anything about her, my account was super well built when she came out

[naive crypt]

i got to try her for free on IS once

shes very fun

[sage frost]

most of the time i can get to ex 8. after that the fun stops

[naive crypt]

the archetype is just really good

thats why I want Narantuya as well

[fast whale]

i still play kazimierz only, gonna start building a sargon team for when inam releases next year

[naive crypt]

Caper archetype is a cool idea

her range is a normal sniper but she also covers the tiles behind he

and her attack speed increases the closer the enemy is

cus she attacks with a boomerang type weapon

[sage frost]

i jerk it to ah so thats my go to before using actual broken shit

[naive crypt]

they should make an AH vanguard

[sage frost]

soon tm

they cooked last event in cn

[naive crypt]

i do want to try out a niche team at some point

cus I really want to use some of the ops I had raised

[fast whale]

im hoping ra is gonna be that mode that gives you good reason to use lesser picked ops

[sage frost]

lmfao new op

wanking

[fast whale]

which one

[coarse fossil]

4 stars will be free in is5

so u wont use three stars anymore

[fast whale]

true but your still gonna use them whenever you play is 4 or 3

[sage frost]

his name is wanking (wanqing)

[fast whale]

Oh yeah Ethan a great 4 star too

[naive crypt]

ethan is mostly for stall strats tho

https://tenor.com/view/shu-arknights-sui-gif-7073468061133619170

[sage frost]

im gonna need a tldr of how to do this shit cuz im ritardo

[obtuse skiff]

day 1 click a patch of grass and turn it to rice field. repeat with another patch of grass. plant all rice fields and the two brown fields with seeds then wait 8 hours done i think so far

[lost helm]

https://tenor.com/view/shu-arknights-sui-gif-16047806304020630261

[obtuse skiff]

also my id on the web event is 74575651 for the Other Plots icon

[obtuse skiff]

and now my after-8 hours progress. planted 2 wheat seeds 1 chili seed and 4 rice seeds. i had to sell uhh 3100 lmd worth of harvested plants to buy everything i needed including 1 plot

probably wasnt a good idea to make so many rice fields since i cant plant any other seeds there to sell in case they go up but oh well i will make tons of bank during rice inflation

[earnest tangle]

is that a real ak event?

[obtuse skiff]

nah its fanmade

jk it is

[lunar moon]

chat

paprika, thorns, flint good?

[obtuse skiff]

you'll prefer lappland over thorns before his e2

[magic dirge]

yea thorns needs e2 badly

[lunar moon]

e2 is like ascension right

not dupes

after e2 thorns better than lapp?

[magic dirge]

flint's decent laneholder, but 6* brawlers blow her out of park instantly

[magic dirge]

yea

[magic dirge]

he gains mad dps after e2

but he slowly falling off recently

still mega solid laneholder

[lost helm]

https://tenor.com/view/shu-arknights-sui-gif-7073468061133619170

[sage frost]

wait toxic are u new?

i swear ive seen u around here before

[naive crypt]

eh not really

people just using him less cus 1 target ops are as a laneholder arent used as much rn

his advantage is still his sniper range

you can use him in really awkward angles every other melee unit cant reach

[lunar moon]

i've never been here

[naive crypt]

but yea

thorns is good

[lunar moon]

paprika?

[naive crypt]

but he does need high investment

need e2 for him to be pretty usable

paprika is uh

scuffed

dont reccomend her

[lunar moon]

[sage frost]

theres better options ngl

but ive been using her. she does the job

but literally i just cycle between like 2-3 healers im bored so i started using other shit

[naive crypt]

tbh

i just use mostly 3 healers now

ptilo, warfarin and reed alt

kalstit I stopped using

[sage frost]

well shes not really a healer healer lol

but ye generally i just use ptilo + whoever suits the map or for fun shit

[naive crypt]

to be fair

i also like using niche units I have raised every now and then

but medic is just the class with the least fun mechanics

[sage frost]

oh shit

my ak merch just arrived

i was like wtf is this email notif idk what this is

ordered a bunch of stuff from other places too

[naive crypt]

funny now that I think about it

specialist only niche is actually the easiest one to do now

just cus of how much that class does

[coarse fossil]

thorns is great

very good early unit to have

but pre e2 he sucks so mbe not too early

[naive crypt]

high investment yea

best 6* to start with tho

he solves all the early game problems that arent DP related

[lost helm]

Angelina is my fav healer, boss killer, crowd control, dps and staller

[fast whale]

Recently learned she can heal stage objectives

[coarse fossil]

angelina + perfumer + skalter

with penance or mudrock

[magic dirge]

idk if anyone doing this

[naive crypt]

just a question

do you guys choose your starter squad or do you roll with the random one

[coarse fossil]

used to always pick gavialter

now i start degenbrecher which is more high rolly, cause her e1 is worse but e2 u p much win

[cobalt rivet]

I go random cus sometimes you can start with e2 operator

[naive crypt]

that depends on the buff you get tho

i just get random since my roguelike gamer brain likes the funny rng

i hecking love getting a free Earthspirit

[coarse fossil]

yea it does sound like more fun

[naive crypt]

it depends

sometimes rng just really fucks you over

[fast whale]

I always start with typhoon

[fossil glade]

the eternal hunting squad has been my go to for run buff so i have to cope with lower rarity operators on the start if i don't get a hope buff

[naive crypt]

my run start varies so whatever I choose for 6* usually has to be my dps

i actually keep forgetting Kalstit is thing for medics

I keep choosing reed alt

[fossil glade]

kal isn't great as a dps due to the limited range, better off taking her when you need a blocker more than when you need dps

[naive crypt]

still pretty good for early levels tho

issue with reed alt is once her s2 is down her damage is nonexistent

yato's puzzle has 10 big dudes with flamethrowers at the end

how tf

is there some sort of gimmick here

[naive crypt]

with yato

ah right

that one

that requires a bit of brain use

took me awhile

[lunar moon]

ima just youtube i have no idea what gimmick this dude has

wish you can just click on enemies in this game and check what shit they got

instead of having to clear it first and check it outside the level

lamo wtf

that does not need a brain just requires you to know that shit aint cosmetic

[naive crypt]

oh

you prolly dont know the pillar mechanic if you didnt do chapter 9

[fossil glade]

he clearly did not

that and that flamethrowers chain off each other

[fossil glade]

[coarse fossil]

now all we need is a game mode that promotes 5 stars

damn nice

[fossil glade]

3*s really just don't cut it anymore

[coarse fossil]

they arent fun either

just basic +atk skills

[fossil glade]

if they're even lucky enough to get those

[earnest tangle]

cute

[fossil glade]

we do a little stacking

[fossil glade]

one more and i get to go back to the difficulty where it was fun more than annoying

my immense girth saw me through crazyson again

[coarse fossil]

that is one strong cop

[fossil glade]

had +50% HP*4 on the final boss from foldarthals

i basically just save all of my combat ones with aspd or hp for it

never had the opportunity to get a good medic and i made cannot fuck off a few floors early because i was out of money and hit a shop with chalice + spinach

usually like to save robbing the shop for the final floor but i couldn't pass it up, there was the crossfire book for snipers too

and typhon was really helping carry the run

[coarse fossil]

yea same

[naive crypt]

ive actually kept seeing the 2nd boss of is4

but i never beat it yet

[stable hawk]

how did they manage to make the skills look more lame than genshin

also imagine building tons of different countries and cities on the original game and then on the 3d sequel you make people play on some empty butt planet nobody cares about

going down a checklist of mistakes

[obtuse skiff]

maybe they dont want the game to be too similar to the td arknights clueless

[stable hawk]

how would a 2d tower defense be similar to a 3d open world action rpg just by being in the same planet

that's how you make sequels that brings the interest of the original players

[naive crypt]

well they're trying something new, for better or for worse

[stable hawk]

you only get to see pictures of places in arknights anyway so it's not like walking around those places in3d models wouldn't be interesting

[naive crypt]

i do like the idea of the game

it feels more like normal rpg than an action based one

but the execution is uh

something

[stable hawk]

feels like they didn't wanna put the money in modeling all those countries

just make some empty alien worlds and call it a day

[naive crypt]

they're trying to go past their own story

i actually think endfield being in 2025 might be because they want the release date to coincide with the next arc in arknights

since endfield is a sequel game

[stable hawk]

that other gacha with a shitty name unreleased yet actually had the time to make a city and driving mechanics although we don't know how big the city is

but that feels like more effort than what they're doing so far with Endfield

[naive crypt]

yea but outside of that driving shit its the exact same as the other open world gachas

why is that

they have different themes

and thats fine

[stable hawk]

yeah but making a city is harder than making landscapes

[naive crypt]

the overall world of endfield is fine

it doesnt even look like an open world

[naive crypt]

prolly, they do have experience already with ToF

so its not that hard for them

[stable hawk]

i think it's kinda wack they could have made it something people care about in the game like lungmen or chernobog

[naive crypt]

well they arent done with the main game yet

[stable hawk]

and then released other cities every few updates like genshin does it

[naive crypt]

having 2 games happen in the same area

both being live service

idk

endfield might go to terra at some point

because like I said, it looks like a sequel

[stable hawk]

they could be interchangable like the stuff you grind in arknights gets sent to the action game and then on the action game you just fight and kill stuff instead of grinding

[naive crypt]

shit from the original game are being referenced and used there

[stable hawk]

[naive crypt]

thats quite ambitious

[stable hawk]

would be pretty original

[naive crypt]

but yea i dont really mind how endfield is

combat is definitely

the weakest point

[stable hawk]

since they made the doctor carry a phone around in the anime think about it

[naive crypt]

my issue with the combat is they're trying to do too much

they want the gameplay to feel like a mini mmo, ok sure

but then

why are your bosses doing shit like Nier automata

[stable hawk]

would be like you're the anime guy grinding the td on your phone and playing action and exploration stuff on the 3d game

[naive crypt]

tbh

i do expect them to release a game set in Terra at some point if arknights is still alive

but as of now endfield is fine for me

cus rn its cool to see how the 2 games connect

i do hope they keep the idea of the combat being a team based tho

tht part is really unique

[stable hawk]

they should hire me i'd make that game epic

[naive crypt]

and it would be good as long as the ai isnt giga braindead

like how it was in the tech test

but yea prolly wont be much changes since the tech test showed like close to a full game already

[stable hawk]

yeah and they have a bunch of flashier games coming out

to compete with

[naive crypt]

what the fuck

[naive crypt]

well yea

thats why I expect endfield to be really niche

might go big in china tho since

IP

ive seen like 10 reposts of this but I keep playing it anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMrxeFp2UDM

[cobalt rivet]

Am I the only one who thinks the Endfield video looks pretty good? I'm so sick of every gacha being overly vibrant and colourful

my only concern is gameplay

like there's no point of a party if you cant even combo skills together?

[naive crypt]

the video does make it look pretty bad

that the endgame mobs

but from what ive seen, normally your team can kinda work together I guess?

theres shit like Angelina's charged skill that knocks enemies up

which works with another char's skills

but dont think that works in that stage cus the mobs are so fat

[naive crypt]

also

think most people do agree the game looks good

its mostly the gameplay people complain about

[cobalt rivet]

yah, it could work, but the AI has to be super good, otherwise you're micromanaging every single character every second WITHOUT a pause feature

[naive crypt]

oh yea and i guess there is a combo thing in the game

cus apparently theres reactions in it as well

same idea as genshin's element reaction kinda shit

but thats it

[earnest tangle]

there's a new endifled vid?

[stable hawk]

this is the video i watched dunno if it's new

[naive crypt]

its still the tech test vid

he prolly just reuploaded it

[obtuse skiff]

ex astris flop might have made them rethink their strategy monkaW

[timid depot]

the opposite of endfield is just startingarea

[stable hawk]

did that even launch

[magic dirge]

in february yea

idk about flop

[naive crypt]

not really a flop

it had launch issues but apparently they were fixed

it released as it was expected to be

didnt get much excitement

[stable hawk]

didn't look interesting to me

[naive crypt]

it looked fine

[stable hawk]

i remember looking at when when it was announced

[naive crypt]

just another turn based rpg in the sea of turn based rpgs

might try it out at some point if i get really bored

[magic dirge]

https://fixupx.com/FFFFFlos_/status/1817456007263744004

[stable hawk]

Padparadscha after shopping at hot topic

[stable hawk]

[naive crypt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3LRDo0O25k

huh never really thought about it

IS4 does have too much rush down maps

compared to is3

wow that looks illegal

[timid depot]

yeah it's why the "meta" shifted to AoE ops in IS4

[fossil glade]

stalling is the most reliable method. just drop someone with high defense in front of him when he spawns, give them a healer, kill the rest of the map, then drop people in his path to keep him from moving too far every time he becomes unblockable. he's immune to Slow but not -movespeed so you can use moist timmy s3, saria s3, or similar and just burst him real hard too

[fossil glade]

is4 is basically 95% rushdown because of the fuckin collapsal's trait being "go fast"

going to be annoying tho since i ran out of red certs

i want to try out the sleep squad

[obtuse skiff]

Shattered champions are my is4 nightmare

[lunar moon]

man i wish this game had no penalty for failing basically just incentivizes watching a guide instead of doing shit yourself

[fast whale]

you got pratice mode, but yea it sucks on harder stages youll run outta those quick

[lunar moon]

i think i lost like a hundred sanity alrdy trying to do shit on my own

5 years and this shit is still in the game

sucks the fun out of the game forcing people to mindlessly follow a guide

[earnest tangle]

just use surtr 4hed

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-gif-darthilles-surtr-gif-15531403402332941251

[cobalt rivet]

i thought top op was guaranteed at 9hr

[lost helm]

what he mean is that the tag refreshed

[naive crypt]

has a slight chance to fail

tags refreshed when the recruit was updated

[magic dirge]

addition of new op in recruitment refreshes tags

how is the current banner?

any good ones?

[lost helm]

[naive crypt]

apparently even the guy's good

so yea think this banner is fine

but just remember r6 is next month

[cursive sigil]

oh the defender is good?

[naive crypt]

yep

she buffs on s3

[cursive sigil]

wrong 6*

[naive crypt]

is that your first pozy

[cursive sigil]

no. dupe so even worse

upcoming banners are really good

[lost helm]

r6, wisadel

[cursive sigil]

i g ues no shu for me then

[lost helm]

I mean tmrw is monthly reset

[naive crypt]

its a rough upcoming banners

[lost helm]

just spend 2 hours in the recruit to get gold cert

[naive crypt]

r6 - ascalon - wisadel

and after wisadel its ulpianus

[cursive sigil]

they are all god?

[naive crypt]

ascalon isnt good

*god

but shes decent

same for Ulpianus

[earnest tangle]

specialist so she's good

[naive crypt]

tho Ulpianus is more of if you have the AH ops

[cursive sigil]

does r6 have more than 1 6*?

[naive crypt]

nah just 1

its Ela, then Ash reruns after the event

[lost helm]

you can grind the paradox simulator

[earnest tangle]

grinding paradox sim doesnt even look worth with the investments u need to burn

but i did that for pulls last time, i think i got 3k+ currency

[magic dirge]

shop keeps crashing

[naive crypt]

dont raise an op for it lmao

and its fine

just do them when you need them

last time I did it I got like

[earnest tangle]

[naive crypt]

8k ish

cus i have too much ops raised

[earnest tangle]

i just raise the 4s one

5s if i like the op

even viviana kills it

[timid depot]

my favorite part about arknights is that they give you 0 information when you encounter the boss for the first time 🙂

[magic dirge]

no gyatt but nice effects

[timid depot]

so you have to guess what it does

degenbrecher killed it tho

[magic dirge]

i hate how its not alined

at this point

the mechanics didnt matter for me

its so squishy

[timid depot]

what is not aligned?

What medics do you have? Maybe consider warfarin or ptilopsis

[lunar moon]

so a medic then

i got myrrh if das anyth

[naive crypt]

shes

ok i guess?

but other 4*s are better than her

just use Sussuro or Gavial instead

[fast whale]

im partial to perfumer for her regen talent

[fossil glade]

perfumer is probably the most relevant 4* for the longest time

just because of her regen, and her module makes it even better for barely any cost

suss is one of the best single target healers in the game but you better not need her for that more than twice in a single map

[naive crypt]

apparently sussuro still has the best heal in the game in terms of burst ST healing?

or did eyjalter beat that already

[fossil glade]

it's a niche you really do not need or benefit from 99.999% of the time

usually things either do enough damage that your op can be healed by the majority of medics, enough damage that your op can be healed by any 6* medic, or enough damage that the op cannot be healed

perfumer can heal everything except deployables though, and her heal scales, unlike angie's similar heal

also technically reed's got the best burst healing but that's really situational

[magic dirge]

https://youtu.be/ripQbFnD2rQ?si=ATt6dwBgTjNJxd7w

all new future ops

[coarse fossil]

well made

[naive crypt]

apparently the dark skinned catgirl was in pv4

so she might be an op

[worn hearth]

SHINY MANTICORE?!

[fast whale]

i will be coping on inam till the heat death fuck those fake egyptians

[magic dirge]

damn insta m1

thats huge

[fast whale]

whos that for

[magic dirge]

zuo le

place him doing m3 then dump the stacks for m1

[naive crypt]

i dont htink thats worth that much?

since theres already better guard mastery trainers

[magic dirge]

irene still the goat

but saving 4 hours

[lunar moon]

should i try to get shu

[obtuse skiff]

nop wait 3 months and get wisadel to win the game!

[fossil glade]

not really, you train for 8 hours a few times to save...8 hours. irene saves you 8 hours after m1 and 12 hours after m2

training's 8/16/24 hours, irene makes it 8/8/12, there's just no beating her

especially when you have wuh or gavialter or whatever to make the final one like, six hours

[naive crypt]

if you like her design sure

but if you want meta the upcoming banners are better

[lunar moon]

ima get meta shit

[naive crypt]

so next banners then

ela + wisadel

[fast whale]

could prolly skip ela for just wisadel if you dont care about the intervening content

[naive crypt]

true but

then you just go boring meta

ela at least is somewhat fun

[coarse fossil]

wisadel is not boring

esp for a new player she should be a lot of fun

[fast whale]

nah shes boring

[coarse fossil]

big explosions = good

[lunar moon]

game still not giving me cuora

[fossil glade]

she's not easy to get outside of dumping rolls

[lunar moon]

should i just invest in the 3*

[fossil glade]

where you'll get all the 4*s pretty quick

[lunar moon]

tank

[fossil glade]

what defenders do you have

[lunar moon]

liskarm and the 2 3* tanks

[fossil glade]

invest in liskarm then

[lunar moon]

and liskarm i got from the selector lamo

game does not want to give me tanks

[fossil glade]

cardigan is pretty good but she's got low defense, beagle's got a little more defense but e2'd lisk will have a lot more, they'll all be about the same at e1 but lisk has a better skill

[coarse fossil]

I am considering using liskarm with wisadel

[fossil glade]

if you want to mess around with the 3*s they're all really cheap to promote, but they're just not terribly good anymore

[lunar moon]

can i get through story with the 3*s

[coarse fossil]

liskarm is fun but she needs e1 for sp battery right?

[fossil glade]

you can but it'll be a hell of a lot harder

everyone needs e1 to get talents outside of the 1*s

[coarse fossil]

yea u dont wanna do tallulah with 3s xD

[fossil glade]

3*s are more like gapfillers in your early roster

[coarse fossil]

u have thorns though he is a chad

[lunar moon]

[coarse fossil]

liskarm is good

[fossil glade]

you could upgrade beagle for now, since it just takes EXP cards and LMD to level 3*s

it'll be easier to get her up than liskarm right now

[coarse fossil]

usually for a new player ak gamepress was super useful

but the site has been down for ages

https://ak.gamepress.gg/tier-list/arknights-operator-tier-list

its broken but whatever resources there are on this site are good

[fossil glade]

eh, the stage it looks like he's at, it's gonna basically be "focus one really good 6* and level up pretty much everything else slowly"

[naive crypt]

dont think he needs a really good tank rn that much

[coarse fossil]

its good to have a peek at whats meta

[naive crypt]

what you have works for your level rn

[coarse fossil]

just a small peek so u dont waste resources

[fossil glade]

e1 beagle will be fine for a while

[lunar moon]

only got 2 and from what i gather they're mid early on

[fossil glade]

thorns is really good e2

[coarse fossil]

yea they are toxic

[fossil glade]

but he's gonna be a joke before then

[coarse fossil]

e2 is not early

[fossil glade]

you can focus an e2 relatively quickly, but it's gonna probably be a month or so

[coarse fossil]

but yea e2 thorns is the main goal

[naive crypt]

should be fine

[fossil glade]

if he's not averse to swiping he could grab the guard chipset and have the e2 chips ready for thorns

[naive crypt]

how new is your account

what chapter are in for example

[fossil glade]

the mats will still take a bit

[coarse fossil]

no need to swipe

[lunar moon]

im at like 3-5

[coarse fossil]

in arknights

[fossil glade]

i'm just saying he could

[naive crypt]

oh should be ok

[fossil glade]

there's a pack for chips for zuo currently

[naive crypt]

do you still have your 5* selector?

[lunar moon]

how much is that

[fossil glade]

$5

[lunar moon]

used them for liskarm and ptilopsis

[naive crypt]

ah i see

[fossil glade]

you'll need the mats to e2 him still, but those are year 1 mats so not hard to get early

[naive crypt]

if I saw your account beforehand I would have prolly reccomended Specter instead

[lunar moon]

[naive crypt]

dw thats fine they help alot early game

Ptilo s2 makes up for the lack of tankiness

really strong burst healing

[fossil glade]

ptil is still really solid anyways, and lisk is a reasonably good tank

[naive crypt]

she does her job

[fossil glade]

she gets bonus res so she's a little less squishy against arts, and she can feed SP to ops next to her

[naive crypt]

ah yes early game arknights

when you have to worry about who to build

good times

[fossil glade]

just a little planning for the future

might as well throw EXP cards at ops you'll use later too

rushing base setup helps take the edge off of the costs of ops

[naive crypt]

really hope they fix new player experience in the game

[lunar moon]

i need to be like elite lvl 50 to take on the cards for e2 right

[naive crypt]

the update 6 months later is cool, but i dont think thats enough

[naive crypt]

you need 2 things

[fossil glade]

they have to be e1 60/70/80 depending on rarity

[naive crypt]

clear the chip stage

and upgrade the factory in base

[fossil glade]

4*s need to be 60, 5*s need to be 70 and 6*s need to be 80

[naive crypt]

as well as the workshop

so its still like

a week away

[fossil glade]

if he buys the chip pack he'll get the upgraded chips, so he won't even need to craft them

[naive crypt]

oh really

[fossil glade]

(do what you want with your money it's just an option)\

[naive crypt]

didnt know that

[fossil glade]

yeah they're already dualchips

[naive crypt]

is there an instant e2 in one of the packs?

[fossil glade]

yeah

instant e2 and instant max level

[lunar moon]

how many weeks worth of farming is in those packs

[naive crypt]

prolly just get that one then

chips arent really that grindy?

[fossil glade]

a lot, especially because you won't have all the shit you need unlocked yet

in terms of where you are currently

[naive crypt]

for new players its hell for sure

since you need to do alot of shit

[fossil glade]

you have to unlock the poly prep recipe, the dualchip recipe, and the stages to get the dualchips

[naive crypt]

let me check the shop

[lunar moon]

i might

[fossil glade]

and you need LMD and EXP cards

[naive crypt]

if theres an instant e2 thing in the shop and you have money

id reccomend just buying that

[fossil glade]

the instant e2 is like, $20 though

[naive crypt]

oh i see

makeks sense

issue with new player experience is

you get too much units, off banner or not

[fossil glade]

actually it looks like it's just the max level one

[naive crypt]

and you dont have enough resources to build all of them until like 6 months later

ah no theres an e2 5* one

not 6* tho

[fossil glade]

just a max level 6* one

[naive crypt]

e2 5* is there

im checking the shop rn

[naive crypt]

theres also a

new player pack

another 5* e2 one

[coarse fossil]

dont need to buy anything

[fossil glade]

regardless, only thing to make thorns faster would be the guard chip pack

and yeah, you don't

[naive crypt]

yea im not saying you need it

[fossil glade]

just depends on if you want to get going faster or be free to play

[naive crypt]

its more of

a big boost

since early game in ak is really bad

[lunar moon]

what does this mean

should i not do this or sm

[fossil glade]

so there's two headhunting pools, the regular one and the kernal pool

regular is newer ops, kernel is older ops

it prefers using kernel tokens first because they're worth less, but you're gonna generally want to pull on the HH banner

[lunar moon]

what can we do with extra tokens/kernel tokens?

[fossil glade]

you turn them in in the shop and you get special shop currencies

green certs can be turned in for materials and shit that refreshes monthly, yellow certs can be turned in for specific operators (180 for a 6*, 45 for a 5*) that rotate every banner, or for a bunch of rolls (258 for 38 rolls)

you can buy other shit with yellow certs but you shouldn't

kernel tokens give blue certs which can mostly only be used to do kernel headhunting

[lunar moon]

aight thanks

[fossil glade]

there are some older ops you'll probably want to pick up at some point or another, like eyjafjalla, saria, nightingale or shining, that'll be in the kernel pool mainly, but there's a bunch of them that are in recruiting too

[lunar moon]

should i just ditch my alt acc

replayed to get a feel for the game again

[fossil glade]

hoshi's a really good tank but i'd say thorns is a better starting 6

[lunar moon]

[earnest tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-cute-shield-blue-spin-gif-16534074

[coarse fossil]

ye agree defenders really do fall off in usefulness later in the game

[fossil glade]

it's more, everyone else is generally tanky enough that you don't need them for a lot of things

but sometimes you need someone with 1k defense

3 and 4 block enemies have made them more relevant outside their high def, too

[lost helm]

True

[earnest tangle]

wood

[coarse fossil]

yea i use hoshi more than thorns

but that is pre module for thorns

[fossil glade]

thorns also facerolls a lot of the msq

so, keep that in mind

he's handy for farming too

both gamepress and aceship

ngl I only use aceship for the recruitments

reason why i like aceship is cus its simple
