Previously did bowfa only. Now bringing bowfa/chins+twisted, as opposed to acb. Am I just down those 2 inventory slots for the throw-away xbow and mith grapple?

thorny shore
#

you can use a fletching/max cape, also juggling does work

#

but basically yes

buoyant cloud
#

Hmm I see. This is what I threw together. Not organized yet.

#

Do have rigour

#

Plan to nex bank ofc

thorny shore
#

I like carrying more brews, also you dont need the bastions

#

regular range is solid

#

the rest looks good to me

buoyant cloud
#

Great, thanks

buoyant cloud
#

Worth swapping to mage minion to continue chinning, or just camp corner and immediately swap to bowfa after melee minion dies?

thorny shore
#

either works, theres a few more strategies as well

#

but I like the bowfa shooting one

honest flax
#

I think BRUH is right, when ur not in max you really need to take 8b

#

whereas if u own masori (f) + ely then ur gonna be finishing kills noticeably faster

#

I've been running this setup
let me find another setup that I've used in the past

buoyant cloud
#

Have a few thousand black chins already, but I dont mind bowfa swap after melee dies. Seems comfier than running out and re-aligning with mage

#

No ely, and reason Im doing Arma is for the fortify

honest flax
#

yea sec

#

this is comfortable but will be slower

#

pretend those are black chins, I've run out

#

buckler is good though use that for sure

#

+10 is huge

#

that's actually better than masori kekdoge

#

the downside of this setup is that u have to flick more to get the same trip length but wcyd, with no masori/ely you will take more damage -> need more brews -> fewer rests

#

or just do 2 trips

buoyant cloud
#

If I dont have a max/fletch cape, whats the quick and dirty on not losing those 2 inventory slots for xbow and grapple? Or do I need to hold onto those anyways because of Nex banking

honest flax
#

if you have ghommal hilt 3+ you can actually do some other tech

#

because you can bank faster than stuff despawns, you can just juggle like that

buoyant cloud
#

Nah lazy, need to do elite but havent yet

#

Do genuinely need to make that a priority soon. Doing slayer and not having the buffed superior rate is a self-troll.

honest flax
#

like uhhhh tele to GWD with hilt and have grapple + crossbow equipped, run inside, cross over the barrier, drop 4 brews, take 1 more grapple from crate if first one broke, tele to bank using craft cape, deposit craft cape, withdraw 3 brews + blessing, tele back, cross back over, drop hilt + crossbow + grapple, equip blessing, pick up 4 brews

#

that's just a concept, I can record the full process for u if u want

#

but that can easily be done in < 1 min if u have it memorized

#

because hilt tele puts you pretty close

buoyant cloud
#

Interesting. But ultimately if I opt to bank Nex KCs for nex banking, which then requires more back and forth banking (prob relevant as I settle into the strat, shorter trips) I prob just want to hold onto the xbow and mgrapple right?

#

For sure not going to complete a task in 1 trip to start with

honest flax
#

you still need to do all of this for the first trip to avoid losing inv slots to grapple + crossbow on first trip

#

on your way out grab the grapple again

#

for crossbow yeah you need to keep that in inv

#

I personally did ACB + chins instead of bowfa + chins because I could use karil's instead of crystal armour

#

while kree'arra rolls off of ranged defense, I found that the mager (skree) ripped me apart way less when wearing karils instead of crystal

#

and offense is the same basically

#

so my ACB acted as my crossbow for grapple

buoyant cloud
#

orly? I know about the defence difference but I would have assumed that bowfa on task would be way quicker or at least more cosistent in finishing kree off vs acb/diamond bolts

honest flax
#

and I was losing multiple inv slots to memes like blessing swap (bolts equipped) and glove swap so that I could wear bgloves

#

the key is exactly like what bruh says, need to take 8 brews unless ur in max max

buoyant cloud
#

Not looking to burn through my dragon bolts at kree - reg diamond addy bolts fine, or dont bother and stick to bowfa?

honest flax
#

you won't rly burn

#

prob take like 15 shots on the boss after chinning kilisa = 3 bolts a kill

#

max

#

if ur ok with bowfa go for it, personally I found acb to be a bit more reliable because of the karils as I said
but that could be copium, idk

#

crystal armour has noticeably worse magic defense

#

karils top + bottom = 90 range def 100 mage def
crystal top + bottom = 106 range def 78 mage def

#

ur choice, either way ur trading off one for the other

#

slash defense is similar (59 crystal 62 karil)

buoyant cloud
#

Gotcha, can try it out both ways and see how it feels

honest flax
#

Yup np

buoyant cloud
#

Finally sent a trip on my off day. Never done the chin method before and holy christ did I muck up the timing the first 4kc or so. Big spamming of brews to stay alive.
Still, managed to fix it and then wrack up a 12kc trip which was enough to sustain with Nex banking. Only had to leave due to not bringing enough brews (kinda. Had to spam some to get stats back)

#

I'll take it 😅

honest flax
#

The timing is a bit weird if ur used to 4t/5t but I found that right-clicking helped me keep the beat

buoyant cloud
#

I must be slow at right clicking because I kept sending them @ kree instead, was too slow

honest flax
#

Click "attack Flight Kilisa", then click on Kree'arra's shadow, then right-click and hover over attack, etc.

#

Yea the timing is stricter cuz it's 3t

buoyant cloud
#

But I found an angle that lets me click kilisa without right clicking

#

so it got much smoother

honest flax
#

Yup usually you don't need to right-click

buoyant cloud
#

btw forgot to ask, what fuse should I be on?

honest flax
#

On spawn at least

#

Rapid/medium

buoyant cloud
#

ok thats what I was using

honest flax
#

Yup

#

It does do less damage than the other one because you're in short range

#

But faster speed makes up for it, leading to higher DPS overall

buoyant cloud
#

speed good

honest flax
#

ye the the other thing is that Kree'arra will melee you unless you're targeting it

#

so you really do need a 3t aoe

buoyant cloud
#

thats what was crushing me, when I got the timing too slow on the clicking of her, she swatted me. When I was too slow to click back to kilisa, it was a wasted chin and a longer kill by extension

#

will work on the right click speed for when I need to use it, but I found the rhythm on reg clicking after about 4-5 kcs

honest flax
#

nice glad u got it

buoyant cloud
#

Nothing quite so tilting though as having kree down to 1-2 shots and then just straight wiffing for about 6+ shots in a row tho

#

almost enough to make me want to use mage minion for chins as well

honest flax
#

ye highly recommend that

#

you do have to right click off of mager usually though

#

it's totally worth IMO

#

I'd rather catch chins and make the boss less annoying

buoyant cloud
#

Arent you just taking hits to the dome while waiting for Kree to make her way over to mager though?

honest flax
#

you can take shots at her with ACB/bowfa while moving over

#

as long as you immediately click off of her she will not freeze

buoyant cloud
#

that doesnt delay her moving? since you're attacking her

#

ah

#

ahh

#

....

#

Ive been afking first handful of seconds of each kill, waiting for her to come

#

Whoops.

honest flax
#

you can also take shots at her and click under urself yea

buoyant cloud
#

Yeah thats what Im realizing now

honest flax
#

when I did chins-only I would just let her float and chin off of ranger at the exact right time

#

but when I did ACB + chins I'd take 2 shots at her before she floated

buoyant cloud
#

prob 2 0s but worth doing anyways

#

Now we just need to get the spoons and gtfo plz

#

The Nex and Corp casinos await

honest flax
#

I can't seem to find a video of chins-only but I'll try to record one

#

Btw one thing:

#

For Kilisa-Kree chinning, you can use the explosion sound as the timing

#

But for Skree-Kree chinning you will often be further away

#

So the sound will be delayed

#

So you need to rely on internal 3t timing or right clicking

buoyant cloud
#

Interesting

honest flax
#

It's cuz of proj delay

#

Like often skree-kree will be stacked near the middle of the south edge

#

but you will be in the SE corner
