Arknights

[nocturne quarry]

They can honestly just make that a game on its own haha

[tardy vigil]

cuz this is alternative with 2k gems more left

SU goes hard

[nocturne quarry]

You'd get all of the 4* as times goes by

The Rougelike mode is called Integrated Strategies.

I'd recommend starting with IS2 once you've built out your operators

It's the easiest of the current 3

[nocturne quarry]

Could you show what 3* you got?

[tardy vigil]

it got 3 pulls total so...

[nocturne quarry]

For 4*, standout in there is Ambriel I guess.

She fills the niche of being a global range Sniper.

Indigo's a nice crowd control when built.

[tardy vigil]

I could do 1pulls on beginner

to decide

[nocturne quarry]

Ye do that if you can

The x10 would give a guaranteed 6*

Thorn & Mountain are both great laneholders

[nocturne quarry]

Uh, do the x10 pull on the beginner when you can. Since that'll give the guaranteed 6*.

[tardy vigil]

it would take some time 😦

[nocturne quarry]

As of now, I'd say go with 2? Fang is a great Vanguard & Melantha's good early game

Spot also offers some healing for now

Should be enough for early game stuff

[tardy vigil]

why both have nose patches

[willow nymph]

that's a really great banner for new players
Suzu is the go to buffer to this day
Thorns n mountain are really good for new players
Archetto is aight but aa snipers are really great early game even if they fall off
and weedy is the only 6* pusher in the game

[tardy vigil]

naaah, bow girl looks better then you guys

[nocturne quarry]

If you believe in RNG, Flametail can survive everything

[nocturne quarry]

In the picture. Mountain's the white tiger man. Thorn's to the far left. Suzu is the girl in the back. Weedy is the white hair one. Archetto has the orange hair. Flametail is red hair.

On right & here's my support units. Feel free to add me if you wanna use them

[wanton stratus]

gran ma b-
Who is gran

[tardy vigil]

gran d deposit confirmed, waifu is on her way

Debt collectors would only come in 2 years, nothing to worry about

Wait guys
Is this one good

That's the account on my phone

[hallow garnet]

nobody does. it's so bad

fkin art from 2019

or something

her skin will fix it

from is4

but you gotta grind for it

[tardy vigil]

some doc rates this weedy not high

[wanton stratus]

Weedy is good for advanced players

Casuals need not apply

[tardy vigil]

So typhoon is better

[wanton stratus]

Depends on the situation

[tardy vigil]

New unit must be op

[versed compass]

most epic max diffeculty clear

[willow nymph]

what kinda tierlist is that

only d tier i agree with is siege

if you want good opinions probably go on sanity gone

ht tps://sanitygone.help/operators

[tardy vigil]

So this game to upgrade units I only need exp, money and promotion mats?

[willow nymph]

yeah

[tardy vigil]

Sounds good

[willow nymph]

and mod blocks later on

[versed compass]

this is (reroll tier list)

it dont account for late game at all

and pretty outdated i think

[willow nymph]

even gamepress doesn't put nian weedy that low on reroll tier list

[versed compass]

gamepress is pretty updated i think

that tier list is like years unupdated iirc

or maybe it is but i never checked idk

[willow nymph]

I mean it's atleast up to stainless

so not that old

[tardy vigil]

I wanna add everyone

[hot rampart]

shes ok but mainly cuz all enemies currently has no elemental dmg res

altho i raise her cuz i find her hot

[versed compass]

dumb start somehow surviving floor 1

[hot rampart]

ange
playing with fire

[versed compass]

it was cardigan angelina jackie btw

[hot rampart]

bruh

[willow nymph]

i started with worse

vanilla plume valarqvin

leakless mh

[versed compass]

not picking the free temp

smh

[willow nymph]

free temp was

Earthspirit

💀

[versed compass]

pick her

s2 suzuran at home

[willow nymph]

no she's worse than orchid

[versed compass]

just upgrade her for module

[willow nymph]

e1 max es has
less dps than orchid

so you should never pick the temp

🙂

[versed compass]

this map opening is too weird

[willow nymph]

wait ...

hand of protector just perma lock if you have any bind extension relic

"blocker"

[versed compass]

theres no bind extension relics tho

unless they updated stun ones to effect binds

[willow nymph]

oh right my dumb ass

[versed compass]

bind worse debuff, dont scale with relics smh

got fucked by emer f2 noooo

[civic linden]

weedy is...complicated

as the class implies she is a specialist

[tardy vigil]

Already discarded

Typhon too cute as a model 10/10

[civic linden]

at really high level she is amazing most of the time, but she is not necessary in low levels

[tardy vigil]

Idk how guides say Typhon is easy to use

Her hit area looks awkward to me

[hallow garnet]

easy to use as in theres no huge gimmick with her

her range is standard besieger range

just adjust accordingly

[civic linden]

it's probably just awkward in the early stages cause they're usually pretty small

on bigger maps it's much easier to deal with the dead zone

[tardy vigil]

I didn't expect gimmicks from sniper

But guess I am lucky

She defo looks like a simple unit so far

Surprisingly simple for a new one

[hallow garnet]

new unit doesnt mean more complex

most units are simple

lol

[civic linden]

dorothy in one of the current banners is super gimicky if you want to try going to that playstyle

she is a trapmaster, gotta manage and deploy a bunch of traps which you can change the effects of

[versed compass]

i think no upcoming 6* is that gimmicky

out side of shu shenanigan's

tho shu is a strong healer/buffer so basic to use normally

[civic linden]

yeah looking at the list of upcoming nes they're all weirdly simple

i guess ray is slightly more complidated

and the musha guy

[versed compass]

zuo lee just throw on s2 and keep clicking

he probably does something

[willow nymph]

yeah they've been pretty tame

[civic linden]

i pray for more phalanx caster one day

[versed compass]

even ela is basic version of trappers

[civic linden]

a male one especifically

[willow nymph]

Ela is just a sniper

[civic linden]

all of phalanx are girls

[willow nymph]

literally easiest trapper

[versed compass]

sniper with pocket suzuran

[willow nymph]

and higher than exu output

so stupid

[versed compass]

good dph and insane dps

also apply fragile so support other dps

[nocturne quarry]

@tardy vigil Alice right? I've added you, have fun with Dorothy & FedEx

[tardy vigil]

Yes

[fluid verge]

u can add me if u want p6 ops

[nocturne quarry]

Oh there's different subclass in each main class. Typhon's in Besieger, who's focused on taking out big enemies.

Then there's stuff like Anti-Air Snipers who focus on taking out drones. Close-Range Sniper for boss killing, And so on. All of em' have a different range & traits/focus.

[tardy vigil]

Idk what those letters mean

But sure

[fluid verge]

aara#7147

[tardy vigil]

Why use melee DPS
Vanguards hold a bit and refund points
Holders tank like hell

Melee DPS just die for big cost?

Sure some are half ranged but

[wanton stratus]

Use a medic bruv

[hot rampart]

guard is the best class in the game

[wanton stratus]

“The Guard class is made up of guards”

[hot rampart]

vanguard job is just printing dp
u want guard to hold lanes with dps

due to their low block count u can put it infront of ur defender

[nocturne quarry]

Which operator you talking about?

Guards like FedEx, Mountain and Thorn main role is to hold a lane by themselves

Guards like Silverash and Mylnar is to nuke the enemies

Some are more focused on dueling a single enemy and so on

[tardy vigil]

Any of those

[hot rampart]

arene is pretty decent

mousse is good source of arts dmg

u will find her useful when u meet those big looking armored enemies

or well since u hv typhon she will handle them too

[tardy vigil]

Typhon is awkward

Especially for multiple lanes

[willow nymph]

ranged tiles suck

[hallow garnet]

alr

i gave her my all

[willow nymph]

pog

[hallow garnet]

bitchass coinflip creeper

couldnt even get herself to p6

just enough copies to make me mad

but no redemption here

[willow nymph]

not limited atleast

and better than p7 eyjalt

[hallow garnet]

sure but

not better than making me go 300

for 1 eyja

[willow nymph]

had to go 300 for 0 stew

[hallow garnet]

anyway im keep gonna force swalter start

just so i dont feel bad about having her

[willow nymph]

honestly she's way better than people give her credit for

[hallow garnet]

shes fine

[willow nymph]

people are likee she's unusable

[hallow garnet]

i like that unlike most starters she can transition into late relevance

with the pusher thing

[hallow garnet]

okay no thats not it

shes not even as bad as viviana

[tardy vigil]

So I only need 1 vanguard to make dp?

[hallow garnet]

depends on the strat

but in general you can get away with myrtle yes

in some cases where dp is tight you may run up to 3

[tardy vigil]

Meh, my units are probably too heavy rn

[hallow garnet]

just adjust according to your needs

myrtle is there in the shop for one dollar

[willow nymph]

nah don't even need to do that

[hallow garnet]

actually wait that pack

is kinda value

1 dollar for one pull

thats

[willow nymph]

he'll get fast enough

[hallow garnet]

mad

[willow nymph]

yeah the pack value is good

not as good as purestream pack tho

Imagine free pull, qt3.14 AND you're told it's for saving dolphins

[tardy vigil]

Typhoon costs like crazy

[willow nymph]

wait until you see juggernauts

36dp cost

[hallow garnet]

wait till you see chen alter

[tardy vigil]

[hallow garnet]

honestly ur earlygame

[tardy vigil]

I will never play such unit

[hallow garnet]

just stuff in like 2-3 vangs

did you roll your beginner banner?

[tardy vigil]

No

[hallow garnet]

i forgot whos in it

[tardy vigil]

Can I farm 4x resource stage?

Or I have to spend stam by 15

[hallow garnet]

you have re-start the mission everytime

one by one

no bulk repeat

it's very

[tardy vigil]

I see why people leave this game

[hallow garnet]

get out while u can

honestly it's no big trouble

just put on emulator or phone while ur doin other shit

and just click

we are all used to it by now

[willow nymph]

it's not like the farm was massive tbh

ak is at most 15 min a session when you do 20~30 san maps

aka all farm maps later on except some events at 18

[hallow garnet]

it gets more annoying if you leave all your weekly sanity for sunday

and i do that everytime

[tardy vigil]

Weekly sanity?

[hallow garnet]

stamina= sanity

[willow nymph]

sanity potions

[hallow garnet]

the refillers

2x 120 from weekly missions

and 1x60 from monthly pass per day

[willow nymph]

*80

[hallow garnet]

was it 80

okay

[willow nymph]

60 is old value

[tardy vigil]

Wtf

[willow nymph]

trust increased and broke auto

will happen a lot

at the start

[quaint arch]

Also did you level some ops while at it?

[willow nymph]

that too

[quaint arch]

That could also be the problem

Especially promoting them

||+2 DP to that Ops most of time||

[wanton stratus]

Nah, it’s a skill issue

Trust me bro

[tardy vigil]

It was random, afterwards was ok

[wanton stratus]

[tardy vigil]

How more trust could break it

Trust supposed to raise stats

[willow nymph]

increased stats -> kill enemy faster ->modify when atk recovery skill procs and leaks one

as an example

[quaint arch]

Also, frame sensitivity

[willow nymph]

weird splitboxing due to kill timings also a thing

[quaint arch]

Especially if you're lagging

[willow nymph]

(i love when slugs spawn behind my ops)

🙂

[quaint arch]

Not exactly lagging... I just don't know how to say it

[willow nymph]

just frame hiccups

[hallow garnet]

oooh this stage brings back so many memories

[tardy vigil]

What frame hiccups wtf

[hallow garnet]

i remember frantically deploying noir corne

[willow nymph]

oh yeah

noir corne is giga strong

absolute chad of a 2*

[quaint arch]

2* Defender Pick in IS#3

And it's alright

[tardy vigil]

I forgot about noir corne

Spent 2 hours beating it

Now this guy confidently smashes it no issues

Just 14 for such tankiness is much better then anything I have

[willow nymph]

unironically

noir corne is used in the hardest contents for being the cheapest 3 block

(until friston)

the man is just that good

[versed compass]

yato like to pop her head out in some places too

[willow nymph]

that's just because of class bans tho

[versed compass]

wdym glory pack yato is cool too

[nocturne quarry]

Ye, raise the lower * first for early game

[willow nymph]

eh no plenty suck

[nocturne quarry]

Also raise your Melantha. She can solo kill a bunch of stuff early-game

Also she's in most of Kyo's guide

[versed compass]

theres only a selected few that worth raising for early game

[nocturne quarry]

The 2*'s dirt cheap, dosen't cost anything to raise em'

[versed compass]

was talking about 3* who still count as (low *)

[nocturne quarry]

Kroos, Melantha, Fang, Midnight and who else?

Cardigan's decent

[quaint arch]

Don't forget about the defender spot

[nocturne quarry]

Oh right Spot

[versed compass]

idk about fang

or midnight

kroos melantha spot steward are solid bunch

[willow nymph]

I mean midnight when arene is a thing

[nocturne quarry]

Really? Fang at least felt decent to me

[willow nymph]

is kinda wackge

[versed compass]

lapp is also a thing if he decided to pick her from selector

and lapp silence pretty useful for smooth early

[willow nymph]

i mean

jaye exists

[nocturne quarry]

We talkin' bout Fang right

[versed compass]

true

[willow nymph]

the new 4* are such bangers tbbh

[nocturne quarry]

[versed compass]

i forgot he is a recruit op now

humus is also cool but might be hard to get

[nocturne quarry]

Oh right

[quaint arch]

Myrtle cringe.
Use better Vanguards other than Standard Bearers

[willow nymph]

yeah humus for a noob is

[quaint arch]

[willow nymph]

holy reaper sweep

[versed compass]

reapers are just

[nocturne quarry]

@undone jackal
https://gamepress.gg/arknights/tools/arknights-recruitment-tag-filter

Use zis for recruitment

[willow nymph]

that class is way too busted

man

[versed compass]

they dont pay for their aoe

like old classes

[nocturne quarry]

Click stuff here & you can see who you might get

[willow nymph]

30 dp moment

[versed compass]

and like twice the attack speed

[willow nymph]

then there's pinecone

that pays for 150% damage on trait

[versed compass]

shut guns do be worthy for that 30dp
unlike fucking aoe casters

[quaint arch]

Don't forget the High-Tile Executor (y'all forget)

[willow nymph]

executor suck

can't even clear ls4

while 4* can

[versed compass]

old sp costs

[nocturne quarry]

Oh right, Click's a good 4*

[versed compass]

bro be taking 7 business days to cast a 20 sec skills

[willow nymph]

why are casters the only ones with old costs

man

[quaint arch]

Dusk

Blueberry pie

Also Passenger

[nocturne quarry]

Hey my Dusk costs even

[willow nymph]

120sp is such a troll

when we thought mostima was the worst they could do

even higher sp cost

and no innate sp gain

[quaint arch]

Wut?

[willow nymph]

until mod

[willow nymph]

isn't it easier to remember my username

[quaint arch]

I mean yeah, but....

[willow nymph]

i'm just mad because a ginger nitro stole my name

[quaint arch]

Oof

[nocturne quarry]

Wanna guess how many "Azure" there was?

[quaint arch]

No

Surely it's only 1, rite?

[willow nymph]

Azure is like giga common

my name is a fucking dragon quest boss name

and not a popular one

[quaint arch]

Yet it was taken

[willow nymph]

[quaint arch]

Get sniped

[nocturne quarry]

Alrighty, there's at least 10k+ Azure based on this dude

[quaint arch]

Also, what's with Ela compared with Apple Pie?

[nocturne quarry]

I assume better?

[versed compass]

she is a marksman

[nocturne quarry]

She blasted Emperor's Blade to death

[versed compass]

just like exu

but better dps

and have a fragile buff

and good dph

in short

better

[quaint arch]

But wasn't Apple Pie good with Warfin-
Oh wait, no one does that generally

[willow nymph]

has higher output

like straight up better

[versed compass]

they are busy warfing ray

[nocturne quarry]

Oh, have you guys seen the buff army on Doc?

[willow nymph]

also yeah warfing ray is like warfing exu in terms of dps except you get 4 times the dph

[quaint arch]

Yes

[versed compass]

or warfing degen

cause degen

[quaint arch]

So stupid

[versed compass]

i still find it so stupid that degen get iframes but also block during it

like huh?

[nocturne quarry]

Surtr's never dying

[wanton stratus]

She warf on my apple pie

[quaint arch]

Nah, she'd still dying

[willow nymph]

I find it so stupid degen has normal sp regen

like

bro wtf?

the whole point of the arche is atk recovery

lmao

[versed compass]

they just gave up

[quaint arch]

"Mountain is a Mistake" moment

[versed compass]

and released chen + irene + extras

[willow nymph]

creep kinda goes crazy tbh

[nocturne quarry]

*Looks at Viviana

[willow nymph]

like hoederer last year would have been good

legit

[versed compass]

ya he is not bad

[willow nymph]

ya but like

[versed compass]

but the nonsense post virt banner is too much

degen ray shu zuo and now ela

[willow nymph]

compare to say Ray virt ela degen shu zuo

even jester eyjalt typhon tbh

[nocturne quarry]

Notice something?

It's all Physical damage

Hypergryph hates Art damage

[quaint arch]

Yes

[willow nymph]

no shit

[versed compass]

am probably gonna cheese ed 2 with jester
just active skill before boss spawn and enjoy overpowered perma def

[willow nymph]

caster is the most shafted class in AK

[quaint arch]

EX Foedere where?

[wanton stratus]

Who is jester?

[nocturne quarry]

Sad cat

[versed compass]

casters are so shafted a medic does their job batter

[wanton stratus]

Oh

[willow nymph]

jessica alter -> jes ter

🤡

[versed compass]

they could create reedic

[wanton stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/limmy-falconhoof-scottish-yes-gif-11168010

[versed compass]

cant they create a real caster

[willow nymph]

i mean they created virtuosa

then made warmy

:xdd

[versed compass]

tbf warmy is a 5* a shitty 5*

we can cope the 6*

we totally can

[willow nymph]

doesn't apply burn on s2
-> deal damage to burning enemies

🤡

[versed compass]

cant wait for virt burn version to support her
then everyone just ditch warmy

[willow nymph]

Increase Attack Interval (+0.9
seconds), ATK +200%
, attack 2 targets simultaneously. Charged effect: Attack 3 targets simultaneously, increase duration to 30
seconds. Attacks deal 50%
additional Elemental damage to targets under the active effect of Burn

peak

(she doesn't deal burn damage on s2)

[wanton stratus]

From day 1 there were instances of conflicting game design and they’re multiplying as time passes

Just look at Nightmare S2

[quaint arch]

They'll eventually make 6* Ritualist with Burn Damage frfr

[willow nymph]

Nightmare s2 is actually fine

[nocturne quarry]

You want conflicting kit?

Blemi Sleep Module

[willow nymph]

do think they shouldn't have put a target cap

[nocturne quarry]

Made for S2

But Aura healing isn't buffed by Mod effect

[willow nymph]

mods are a fucking can of worms

[quaint arch]

Just remove the slow and it's better

[willow nymph]

no it's worse

you don't use nm for damage

ever

[versed compass]

you want shitty mods?
check fartooth 2nd module

its litirally same shit as first module

just less damage

[civic linden]

without slow she'd do a crazy amount of true damage

no way thats balanced

[willow nymph]

no she wouldn't

lmao

1200/tile is

really meh

really fucking meh

and that's post weedy buff

[nocturne quarry]

Can you Weedy blast an enemy through that?

[willow nymph]

btw

[wanton stratus]

Just like reduced redeployment time on Pozy’s hypothetical mod X like we discussed the other day

[nocturne quarry]

[willow nymph]

her release damage was 800/tile

[versed compass]

weedy only do (true damage) cause she yeet
and she mostly used to stall/one shot with holes anyway

[quaint arch]

You mean this?

[willow nymph]

Weedy apply the same buff

so it doesn't stack

[nocturne quarry]

Aww

[wanton stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/fish-walking-terraria-incredible-phenomonal-gif-18349117

[nocturne quarry]

What if you put the enemy through Shu's hadron collider then?

[willow nymph]

Death

[mossy tinsel]

Add friends for more clues?

[tardy vigil]

Yes

Solcarmesi#8534

[tribal thicket]

Imagine rolling on all units when you can just use Mlynar and Chalter

[hot rampart]

.

[quaint arch]

I see. So you reject Virtuosa, Skadi, etc.

Only Mlynar and Ch'en you like

[fluid verge]

I reject them all with freesh squad

[tribal thicket]

when waifu dont work

just mlynar

[willow nymph]

chong just bursted down ed3 boss so hard

[hot rampart]

is that with spinach

[tough matrix]

done

[undone jackal]

ehm thanks, i appreciate it lmao, not sure why you tagged me though, except if i somehow forgot i asked for this xD

[tough matrix]

omw to s3m3 her

[nocturne quarry]

Ah sorry, meant to tag new player 😅

[undone jackal]

You're fine no worries. I just choose tags randomly myself so this is atually a great help for me as well xD

[tough matrix]

man, I'm really tempted to pull her

[ebon sphinx]

i am waiting for Jessicat next...

[tribal thicket]

ew

[ebon sphinx]

hey, i never shit on anybody's preferences, why do i have to deal with that

[tribal thicket]

because im a dick

: (

[ebon sphinx]

are you happy?

does this make you feel better?

[hot rampart]

who want to be the balls

[tardy vigil]

Worth 100%

[hot rampart]

she is worth it

the unworthy part is not getting her and using all ur fund

for likely

a spook

[tough matrix]

20 pulls and 1 golden bag 1 blue bag

and the 5 star that I got is cantabille, the one character that I already have pot 6

[hot rampart]

more gold certs

rather pot 6++ over pot 2-6

[willow nymph]

pasta gitano orb and a lot of aspd

[hot rampart]

damn thats definitely hurt

[tardy vigil]

Yes she outflexed me

[hot rampart]

its her

[wanton stratus]

She’s her

[hot rampart]

@tardy vigil purple is typhon

blue is someone tanky
green is extra support/medic

or just watch kyostinv

[tardy vigil]

I don't understand how melee combat works

Sometimes 3-4 enemies bang my unit

Sometimes they walk pass it

[hot rampart]

each melee operator has their own block count u should see them in operator info

[tardy vigil]

Vanguards usually have 1

Maybe I should double check

[hot rampart]

its a mixed bag cuz each class has different sub-class type too

💀

defender mostly 3 block

vanguard inbetween 1 or 2

guard is also 1-2

but generally much sturdier and more damage than vanguards

defender is obviously the tankier bunch

[tardy vigil]

She has taunt value 1

Does it mean only 1 enemy will ever hit her in melee range, and others would simply walk past her?

Or enemies do "step-fire-step" both melee and ranged?

So if I put her in front of protector everyone passing by would hit her

[hot rampart]

block is not taunt

just the amount of enemy that she will block

if an enemy try to go through her

only 1 melee enemy attack her at a time

in case of ranged enemies they will target ur latest deployment operators within their range

[hot rampart]

no

[tardy vigil]

So amount of hitters is equal to block value?

[willow nymph]

yes

[hot rampart]

yes

[willow nymph]

ranged enemies still attack when not blocked tho

all my homies hate ranged enemies

[tardy vigil]

Sure, but ranged enemies tend to go forward anyway

At least in my early stages

[hot rampart]

maybe they exceed ur melee operator block count

if an operator with 2 block is already blocking 2 enemies

other enemies will just go pass through said operator

[tardy vigil]

I mean go from their range into melee

[strong rampart]

They always do that

Unless the enemy literally can’t move

CC’d or is an immobile enemy

[willow nymph]

no there's the Monhun enemy that moonwalks too

[civic linden]

Ranged enemies always focus the last deployed unit too

So try to always deploy tanks last

[strong rampart]

Too lazy for that

I let them try to clap my ranged units when I’m always using NG and Shining

[hot rampart]

i clap liz and shining

[strong rampart]

[hot rampart]

[strong rampart]

[versed compass]

btw do you know if those are retroactive?
i heard they are but just making sure

[nocturne quarry]

That's all of IS2 ending done

Just gonna do rest of the squad & special stuff to get the materials

And I can finally do IS3 haha

[tardy vigil]

Everyone so dead

Why she looks so sad

she is nick named sad cat

Oh my god, a newbie actually watching PeterYR videos!?

[tardy vigil]

No

I listed for 2 minutes of some numbers fighting and close it

[hot rampart]

yes but doing 252 is beneficial for u even as newbie

dont upgrade ur dorms

[wanton stratus]

You already know he’s gonna upgrade office to lv3 first thing

[willow nymph]

it's already there in en

[versed compass]

i dont have the dark blue ones tho

or whatever that rainbow color is

i only get 3rd version on d15 clears

[willow nymph]

yeah it was retroactive in cn

so you can start farming already

but like

emergencies

[versed compass]

i will farm now and play the emer for fun

some squads i dont like much

but ya am only getting 3rd version

[willow nymph]

leader squad is so bad

I quite like the new ones tho

they aren't super good but they are neat

[versed compass]

ya i love life prio

pretty fun

i want to get the medlas on leader and gather

probably the 2 i dislike most

i also like the new first class

pretty cool overall

[tardy vigil]

Lancet 2 is a good unit?

1* having some use?

Looks like a copium tank

[versed compass]

lancet 2 is a medic

1* are just pretty niche units

the ycan come in handy early game and they only level up to e0 30

so maxing her for some pocket healing early is fine

jessicat event soon

[tardy vigil]

National geographic collab

I imagine how Chinese officials be like

• damn American population so stupid, they can't tell a difference between Australia and Armenia. We need to educate our kids somehow.
• collab national geographic with a gatcha sir
• 💴💴💴💴💴

[hot rampart]

CN AK collab a lot with their own zoo / museum stuff

getting increase those social credits point

[tardy vigil]

I killed everyone, but one armored dude broke through. Now clear time is doubled because he gonna fistfight with a tank

[tardy vigil]

They probably got real scared when someone proposed to ban gamba in games

[hot rampart]

it was less of a ban and more to changing the gacha system

reading it i was like "damn arknights kinda just have all of these implemented already"

like "able to buy an SSR directly by other means than gachaing"

[ebon sphinx]

eh, i knew it was not gonna fly considering it'd cut into the revenue of their biggest companies and sources of revenue

[hot rampart]

literally gold cert shop

[ebon sphinx]

in the end, if it cuts into their coffers, 'morals' take a backseat to financial pragmatism

[hot rampart]

when it got announced

[tardy vigil]

You'd be surprised how often government officials do not care

It isn't their money

[hot rampart]

the market trade took a nose dive

[ebon sphinx]

yes

[ebon sphinx]

the underlings dont, but the higher ups and the owners of those companies who have friends in high places...

[tardy vigil]

Ofc business have their levers

But money aren't do all, especially in China

[tardy vigil]

Military don't care about some small market dive, and I bet such reform would get a wide support among them - as an example

In general to older people those widespread games are more of a problem then an ok thing

[hot rampart]

if it was a small dive they probably went through with it

[tardy vigil]

I doubt it

Gaming industry is not that big compared to the whole China manufacturing

It was a niche initiative that didn't get much support I believe

Again, maybe tencent pulled some levers

They did some research on how things work and how to restrict them, surely they knew the impact

[hot rampart]

nah

thats too much common sense

[hot rampart]

[tardy vigil]

this game has soo much teeeext

[tribal thicket]

<<SKIP>>

[wanton stratus]

@tardy vigil

[tardy vigil]

400 gems until 10 pull

Imma succumb to spending skin moneys

[tardy vigil]

It takes me like an hour to spend 15 stam

Without reading part

[wanton stratus]

That’s crazy though

[tardy vigil]

I wanna 3* stages

So I retry again and again

And story eats up like 8-9

[wanton stratus]

You use the practice plans… right?

[tardy vigil]

Yea, and it's even more time

[wanton stratus]

Damn

I don’t remember the newbie struggle ngl

4 years is a long time

[tardy vigil]

My units suck

Well, some of them don't

But on all stages like 6 units do really good and rest do really bad

Because different enemies or terrain

[tribal thicket]

Even 480 pulls doesn't seem safe to get a good Arturia potential

Might just get p2 then wait to pity W next

[tardy vigil]

🧱

Do I just take another account 😭

Wait archetto is 12 dp only
They don't compete with those price tags

Now I gonna continue to suck against piles of metal

At least she's some aoe

[hot rampart]

i just know i watch kyostinv alot

[hot rampart]

u can raise lava and 12f, aoe casters do wonders in early game and help doing aoe arts dmg. they will also help u clear the base stage farm to level up ur base

[tardy vigil]

Lava has range as is awkward to use

[hot rampart]

right... u need e1 for the range not to suck ass

[tardy vigil]

E1 stages are hard

[hot rampart]

i meant e1 as in operator promotion

elite 1 = first promotion
elite 2 = 2nd promotion

[tardy vigil]

They need those tokens from right stages

[hot rampart]

yep except only 3* dont need chips to promote em

3* cant be e2ed but regardless they are a cheaper investment over higher rarity

[tardy vigil]

Oh wow

[hot rampart]

also did u know u can borrow unit from friends

it be a huge help for a newbie

[tardy vigil]

Dp cost tho

[tardy vigil]

Ye but I want to auto stages

[hot rampart]

hmmm true

[tardy vigil]

I borrow shotgun dude

Everyone else idk how to use

[hot rampart]

the level of the unit u borrow is locked to ur highest lvl u personally have in ur squad tho

[willow nymph]

oldie that changed

now it's only promotion that counts

so e1 80 at first e1 1 you get

[hot rampart]

ouh that's how it works

👴

[willow nymph]

but yeah the idea for speedrun any% 7-18 is you e1 1 a 3* borrow some strong e1 op
then you e2 1 any 4* and ling it

[versed compass]

in IS you can borrow any with no limit

saw a 2day alt account with like nothing raised doing IS2 with pozy borrow

♿

[strong rampart]

Kama too boomer

[fluid verge]

Just skip and read it later

[tardy vigil]

Never

[fluid verge]

Not maximizing ur time smh

Best the stages and then at ur leisure read the story

[willow nymph]

story sucks until ch4 anyway

[strong rampart]

Story is short until ch8 anyway

Not much to skip

[tardy vigil]

I mean read "never"

Forskippen and be forgotten

[hot rampart]

ah u aren't reading?

[strong rampart]

RIP

[tardy vigil]

I read now because otherwise I will never read

[hallow garnet]

shes not a brick wtf

my dearest daughter

[tardy vigil]

I thought acc is brick because 2 archers doing same shit

Turns out archetto is cheap shrapnel AA

I love archetto

She perfectly covers Typhon weaknesses as a sniper

[hot rampart]

relatable

[hot rampart]

yep they are two different subclass belonging in the same class

[hot rampart]

at least thats not mimic

or reflect

[willow nymph]

reflect chest are so ass if your run is good

but do literally nothing if it isn't

[hot rampart]

it depends on their placement

[strong rampart]

it doesnt matter if my run is bad or good

my ops always die to a reflect chest

lol

skill issue ig

[hot rampart]

wheres ur shining and ng to outheal the reflect dmg smh

[strong rampart]

they cant mitigate it...

lmfao

its true dmg

[hot rampart]

I did say outheal

[strong rampart]

yeah I don't understand the point of ur comment

Shining and NG are for mitigating specific types of dmg

not for raw healing output

https://tenor.com/view/pepega-pepe-the-frog-gun-shooting-gif-16396270

[hot rampart]

damn thats crazy i didnt know

[strong rampart]

damn

they also cost 6 hope each

so I'm usually coping with Ansel

kek

[hot rampart]

NO WAY

[strong rampart]

I KNOW RIGHT

MIND BLOWING

[hot rampart]

[willow nymph]

ansel suck

i need real healing

the worst part of this is is having to draft healers

/j

[hallow garnet]

the trick here is to use something with low damage that chips it away, i usually just put fang on it. if it's in a bad spot then u can just sicc a frd on a couple times

[tardy vigil]

135 stam cap is lowkey criminal

[tardy vigil]

altho base income is massive

1k credits per order

when I get 4k per stage 3

wait typhon banner already gone?

damn I really got in last minute

current 2 banners feature some unpleasantly-looking ladies that have some gimmicks to do damage

[hallow garnet]

and with optimized base this gets better and better

[nocturne quarry]

Oh you got Cheeto, nice

[tardy vigil]

Shame I can't beat base stage

[tardy vigil]

Not nice, piles of metal are piling me

She is cute but

[nocturne quarry]

Using Mousse yet?

Also remember to use Amiya

She's a decent single-target Caster despite being free

[tardy vigil]

How

[hallow garnet]

piles of what

[nocturne quarry]

I'm assuming the crabs/spider

[versed compass]

what the hell cannot is on

why he selling the full batman gadget here

[versed compass]

[versed compass]

use aoe casters like lava/12f

will help a lot

[nocturne quarry]

Try placing mousse to the side of a tank if she can't handle the damage

[tardy vigil]

This dude barely notice

Lava has ass atk speed

[tardy vigil]

Most of maps are straight lines

[versed compass]

she still better vs piles then most stuff in your account

[nocturne quarry]

[tardy vigil]

Idk just awkward moment

I know other maps have other design

[nocturne quarry]

Post your operators again?

[versed compass]

aoe casters kinda shit but early on they are the best option

[tardy vigil]

Also lvl 1 benched ayerscarpe

[nocturne quarry]

Hmm, try also using Haze

[tardy vigil]

Haze maxxing incoming

[nocturne quarry]

Pretty sure she reduces RES for a bit

[tardy vigil]

It's on e1

[nocturne quarry]

Oh F

[tardy vigil]

All text is e1 gated

[nocturne quarry]

You got Steward yet?

[tardy vigil]

It's fine, just gotta wait few days

Collect credits

[tardy vigil]

Who?

[nocturne quarry]

He's the other 3* Caster

[tardy vigil]

Nah

[nocturne quarry]

Alright, so alt strat.

If you can't DPS it out, try stallin em'

[tardy vigil]

Yeee, investing in my 3* defenders

[nocturne quarry]

Okay just a did a run.

Try investing in Beagle here, she'd be able to tank, with help from Ansel, Lancet and Spot, up to the final two big dudes

[hallow garnet]

arts dmg then

[nocturne quarry]

Issue is that DPS isn't enough

[hallow garnet]

uneed arts

[nocturne quarry]

So if DPS isn't enough, just drag out the amount of available time for the current DPS to work

[tardy vigil]

Yea exactly my team

[nocturne quarry]

That's the squad I use. If you wanna figure out a solution, feel free to ignore this. Since that's what makes AK fun

I have Lvl. 7 skills though, so adding in Amiya should cover that difference

For a tip with Mousse, ||Drop her in behind shield dudes after all the big shield dudes are being block||

[tardy vigil]

But she dies next wave

Like, sure as last onslaught comes

[nocturne quarry]

I meant dropping her in when the last two dude's being blocked

Lava, Haze and Amiya for you should be able to handle everything except the last two dude

[tardy vigil]

I can borrow click or liskarm

Probs click

[nocturne quarry]

Sorry man, I don't have Click built 😅

[tardy vigil]

Click is great

It's some st arts damage

Jobs done

[civic linden]

Click is indeed very good for early/mid game

[wanton stratus]

@tardy vigil Idk if anyone told you this but you’ll want to at least promote Amiya to E2lv1 eventually, so you might as well start working on her now if you need arts dmg

[hot rampart]

i think thats terrible advice as thats only relevant in ch8 which is a long way to go

plenty of time until then

amiya caster sucks

[nocturne quarry]

The true damage is nice

[hot rampart]

its nice but its jackshit dmg

he has typhon and by the time he reach patriot he should have her e2

and disregards any sorts of enemy with high def which he currently struggling with mostly becuz typhon is not even e1

[nocturne quarry]

E1 Typhon should give a big boost

Since S2 is infinite if I remember correctly

Only see people using S3

Anyway, someone made a fanmade rhythm game

[tardy vigil]

6* are expensive to raise

Prohibitively expensive for a 3 day old account

[wanton stratus]

Amiya is a 5*

[quaint arch]

Amiya ain't 6*....

[tardy vigil]

Still

[wanton stratus]

Plus, she has reduced promotion and skill level up costs compared to other 5*

[tardy vigil]

I will definitely raise her as she is cute

And my only st arts caster

But first 3* and 4*

[wanton stratus]

Good lad

[tardy vigil]

I noticed that they gain same stats

For same exp/credit costs

[tardy vigil]

She is so 💀

[hot rampart]

shes a 6* and u can get her for free btw

[tardy vigil]

Just faint at this point

[tardy vigil]

Some YouTuber said I can expect a 6* around every 30 pulls

Just not any one in particular

So idc to hoard more 6*

So I don't rush to hoard more 6*

[hot rampart]

i mean sure its a pull the ones u want thing

but theres indeed some 6* u get just for free (doing their event in the intermizzi/side story event tab)

[tardy vigil]

It's probably gonna be more units then I can raise

[hot rampart]

yeah u can get em later

[willow nymph]

immortal feesh ladies are really damn strong

[hot rampart]

not until module

[tribal thicket]

Is Gladiia still obtainable?

[hot rampart]

correct

all u need to do is do undertides stage in intermizzi

[tardy vigil]

Tried to do event

Failed miserably

Nvm, 5th practice with support unit, now 7th without

Gonna auto sink stamina stage 1 now

Heck base

[ebon sphinx]

https://vxtwitter.com/ArknightsEN/status/1768245697634345001?t=kou_h1jn0_AFyaq0KkKOZg&s=19

[willow nymph]

that's just feesh ladies until then

[nocturne quarry]

Shite

None in credit shop

[willow nymph]

oru ending in 47

giga sus

[hot rampart]

stone miner

[wanton stratus]

Waow, Azure is a miner

[willow nymph]

no he's failed anni

and it's worse

miner gives it in multiples of 20

[nocturne quarry]

Hey, it was from the first time I ran Annihilation

Failed it that first time and went

"Nope. Me get higher level first."

Stuck at 7 now

[quaint arch]

Fix it

[wanton stratus]

Why me

[fluid verge]

stop being lazy

[wanton stratus]

I wish I could

[sharp tartan]

You people do that shit?

[fluid verge]

yea

[wanton stratus]

Now that is lazy

[fluid verge]

its fun throwing super speed tornados

[hot rampart]

gg with 200 aspd

[willow nymph]

it's worthless beyond first clear rewards

literally gives nothing

if it gave anything why do i still have those shitty mats and not mod blocks

despite only doing first clears and missions

[quaint arch]

Module Bolocks is the real resource issue for Mods & Upgrades

[fluid verge]

just wait until the update where u can convert those mats into blocks

then whos laughing

[wanton stratus]

Surely they’ll make a change where every module released past that point no longer cost module blocks to upgrade to lv2 and lv3 and instead just the other module materials

[versed compass]

yep

until they add a monthly module block to it its worthless past the quests + first clears

[ebon sphinx]

https://vxtwitter.com/ArknightsStaff/status/1768472906420642117

[fluid verge]

Next Tuesday

[tardy vigil]

6 more hours for event grind

[bleak mirage]

Finally jessica is almost here

[tardy vigil]

Spending 300 stam sure is a chore

In event by 9 points

[tardy vigil]

I only now realised that pulls cost 600

and I need to spend stam to get weekly 1200

[tough matrix]

done

[tardy vigil]

what does it mean

[tough matrix]

nothing

[hot rampart]

skill training over lvl 7

skill mastery

[tough matrix]

wait they are a new player?

[sharp tartan]

yes
