Do you know if Nightingale’s cage can be targeted by extinction?

[versed compass]

all his skills and attack have normal targeting

so cages should taunt all

tho phase 3 fireballs and attacks have a range of like 3 tiles?

so cage need to be close

[wanton stratus]

For some reason he always targeted Młynar instead of the cage

Maybe it was too far

[versed compass]

actually am unsure about chain if it can target summons at all

i usually cage the fire balls

[wanton stratus]

I see

I’ll take note of that

And steal it

[civic linden]

ceobe getting so many Ws lately

[bleak mirage]

Ceobe staying goated as a mage no matter the situation

[ebon sphinx]

remember, >Caster, >all attacks is just throwing metal weapons

[wanton stratus]

When the lore doesn’t add up

[violet vortex]

Ascalon

[ebon sphinx]

https://vxtwitter.com/GF_Saihate/status/1776086883875062023

[tribal thicket]

Is she another Executor Specialist?

[hot rampart]

its an ambusher

[violet vortex]

If that’s what that symbol is

[hot rampart]

mizuki archetype

[violet vortex]

Looks ambusher

[hot rampart]

qb 2nd skin just after her current skin run

[fluid verge]

ahhh

ahhhhhh

[hot rampart]

whats wrong

[fluid verge]

sarkaz ladies are just different

[hot rampart]

truuuuuu

[quaint arch]

Is it just me or did they upgrade that character Graphics?

The previous art wasn't as clean as that

[hot rampart]

yeah story sprite is different than playable sprite

can range from huge different to little different

[ebon sphinx]

artists can change too

[hot rampart]

thats mainly the reason why

see : W

ines artist somehow manage to make it as close as possible tho

[violet vortex]

More importantly Ascalon is immortal now

[vagrant tusk]

[hot rampart]

i realise what u mean by this

[tired gulch]

Welp. The CN folks are as always leaking

But... Now I wanna question how HG is gonna rationalize and explain what the hell they just did

[hot rampart]

i mean

its leak

it has no context and || suppose to be revealed after upcoming babel sidestory ||

pls spoiler it

[tired gulch]

They better. Otherwise the situation will get dicey

[hot rampart]

|| i hope they have good justification for theresa and im sure they can ||

|| Walter and logos are just always there and they are fine ||

[tired gulch]

The last thing we need is for Walter to say "Hoy."

Or rather, I need

[quaint arch]

[ebon sphinx]

also module for the kukulkan

let us see if it saves them

長沢 美樹 Miki Nagasawa for Ascalon.....oh, she's fucking Pom Pom in HSR

[ebon sphinx]

remember that canonically she has a very commanding presence since W doesnt dare cross her since she knew that a single whisper was all it took for her to die then and there

though despite that she's considered somebody Amiya looks up to funnily

[hot rampart]

1808 days without a skin

inclined to believe HG has a database of operators usage

and just doesnt care about the old 4/5 stars to give em a skin cuz nobody use them

[tardy vigil]

I use her

[ebon sphinx]

not for long

[hot rampart]

[quaint arch]

Now that you mentioned that...

Of course,
It would all make sense.

[hot rampart]

siege fans and ulpianus fans on their way to say they be earthshaker archetype

https://fxtwitter.com/SihZari/status/1776096393171791934?t=aL0-9Fvh8cr3y25TKnQOwA&s=19

[ebon sphinx]

Siege being a hammer guard makes more sense than being armed with like AK's notExcalibur + much more novel and unique

[hot rampart]

siege can still be a 6* limited crusher with the victoria sword ngl

[sharp tartan]

Earthshaker archetype?

https://tenor.com/view/sami-dota-dota2-team-sami-gif-23132892

[vagrant tusk]

[ebon sphinx]

[vagrant tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/dota2-valora-dawnbreaker-gif-27420888

Or Dawnbreaker ulti

[bleak mirage]

Thiccbreaker you mean

[hot rampart]

the new archetype is called earthshaker quite literally

[versed compass]

inb4 (does splash damage, splash damage increase for each enemy hit)

[ebon sphinx]

[hot rampart]

i want HG to do public execution of whoever leaked this

[hot rampart]

it ruins the surprise and its not even like a day or two before stream

gotta wait for 2 WEEKS for actual information

[hot rampart]

u have to see this ange + elysium combo

[versed compass]

ya i tried to use it for pvp before

and realized the combo dont work

[vagrant tusk]

epic combo?

[tribal thicket]

Ngl, OG W is hotter with her sweaty shirt

[tardy vigil]

Who should I e2 first?

[bleak mirage]

Oh thats uswuis blade

Didn’t know they had the same va

[tardy vigil]

Is e2 jessicat first worth?

[bleak mirage]

E2 typlosion or jessica

[tardy vigil]

Maybe there is value in doing some 5* or 4* first?

They cost much much less

[hot rampart]

absolutely correct on 4*

so u can borrow an e2 operator from friends

and roll through available story stages

[tardy vigil]

mousse e2 incoming

(I use her in 1/4 stages)

[hot rampart]

absolutely based choice

[tardy vigil]

Low-key I want to beat them without brute force

[hot rampart]

i respect ur dedication

theres nothing wrong with that

[tardy vigil]

That's like 60 unique maps

Why skip them

[hot rampart]

its basically how year 1 me experienced (with kyo help )

[tardy vigil]

Worst case just watch tutorial where this guy beats the map with kroos and says "ez"

[hot rampart]

looking back at my old autos and just seeing siege as the only 6* being used

felt surreal

[sharp tartan]

brute force is the only correct way to play the game until brute forcing doesnt work

which either means your force are lacking or fuck that stage in particular

[ebon sphinx]

Kroos hits far higher than her rarity especially compared to the other 3* Fast Sniper Adnachiel

[sharp tartan]

adna

[hot rampart]

kroos is so good theres kroos 2

[sharp tartan]

i still remember having to use guide for that one stage with a lot of freezing drones

good times

[tardy vigil]

Is this a good unit? She looks smug

[hot rampart]

very good

[tardy vigil]

Nice

[sharp tartan]

very good

[tribal thicket]

Ascalon VA is the same as Star Rail's PomPom

[sharp tartan]

shes good at breeding

[hot rampart]

professional breeder talent

[tardy vigil]

[ebon sphinx]

through pure math uh, Kroos's skill is every few shots, shoot two bolts that deal 140% of her attack. She has a passive that each of her attacks can crit for 160-170% attack at 20% chance, which she is gonna proc regularly because fast snipers shoot alot

Adnachiel has a timed skill thats just for 40 seconds, deal 150% of his attack and his passive is +8 ASPD only. And then he must wait for another 40 seconds to do it again

[ebon sphinx]

Kroos wins this one outright...

[tardy vigil]

Translation team knew what they were doing

[sharp tartan]

imagine being a way cheaper version of that stupid wolf guy and is arguably better

[hot rampart]

jokes aside her lore is basically being an animal breeder

specifically metal crabs

[sharp tartan]

whos that stupid wolf guy again

[hot rampart]

vigil?

[sharp tartan]

i raised him to e2 70 and he does jackshit

yea vigil

[hot rampart]

[sharp tartan]

his dog is a fucking travesty btw

[tardy vigil]

Now I have a million archers

Nice

[sharp tartan]

actually dogwater

beanstalk has a melee summon

2 unit in 1

[tardy vigil]

if I like how she plays might raise her to e2

my vanguards are kinda meh (besides myrtle)

[hot rampart]

vanguards is sorta meh yeah

the one that sticks out are
4* : myrtle
5* : texas , elysium , cantabile
6* : ines , saileach , bagpipe

[versed compass]

i use him in IS D15

sound like skull issue

[versed compass]

i think ines is just miles above the rest

[hot rampart]

ines is in her own tier

[versed compass]

ines see more use then bagpipe in CC
aka her only mode

[hot rampart]

just saying in general who is to watch out for

the one that sticks out

[versed compass]

would not watch out for other flags tbh

unless you doing sweaty stuff

[hot rampart]

nuh uh

[versed compass]

then get nuked cause no pots

then myrtle i meant

[hot rampart]

2 flag + 1 fighter vanguard is pretty brute force central for the casual

[versed compass]

i bring 2 flags then only deploy one anyway

big brain momen

[tardy vigil]

why bring 2 flags

[hot rampart]

u will understand once u have a squad full of 6*

[tardy vigil]

well

not soon at all

[hot rampart]

hope to see u in the long run

[tardy vigil]

vanguar 1 - 7 supporter chips

thanks game

[hot rampart]

convert em and likely lose 18 sanity worth of stuff per convert

[vagrant tusk]

I usually bring myrtle bagpipe ines to start the dp pump

[hot rampart]

i pump them

[tardy vigil]

with 20 pulls a month and 120 to get a desired 6*

[vagrant tusk]

😳

[hot rampart]

150+ for a desired 6* on single standard

truth be told

u have to be really unlucky for this

[tardy vigil]

it varies per banner

collab is less or smth

idk

[hot rampart]

collab is 120 yeah

[vagrant tusk]

How about limited?

Is it 300 or some other number?

[tardy vigil]

archetto costs 14 dp

thrift shop 6*

wait beanstalk need 50 energy + 15 sec to generate 12 DP?

[hot rampart]

if u upgrade the skill it should be around 30?

[hot rampart]

300 for a spark

[tardy vigil]

44 sp at skill lvl 7

[hot rampart]

is this her s2?

[tardy vigil]

Yes s2

With more crabs

14 starting sp

[hot rampart]

sounds about right actually

[tardy vigil]

First is 11-34 for instant 8

[hot rampart]

tactician vanguard dp prints are quite... slow compared to other vanguards
in return they have this 2 in one thing

[tardy vigil]

Yea it's really weird

1 block crab can't even be relied upon solo

[hot rampart]

they actually does a decent chunk of dmg to the enemy being blocked by the summon without skills

[tardy vigil]

Wtf crab himself has 280 atk

And her 280

And 150% to blocked enemy

And crab is as tanky as courier in HP and def

Except free to respawn

[ebon sphinx]

shes a favorite for starting comps in IS for this reason

nah you cannot redeploy the crab in a different place

it just burrows

[tardy vigil]

Ngl this sucks

But skill issue, plan better in first place

Still free immovable gravel

Jessicat riot shield + beanstalk crab + second defender = Maginot line

I love my trench warfare

[ebon sphinx]

if you can get Horn or Ashlock, they are Fortress Defenders. While they have 3 block, they are more for being high DP artillery operators

they use gunlances or giant cannons

[tardy vigil]

This game is soo cool

After hsr with their "sci-fi rpg" where 2/3rds of roster use swords pikes or uncovered magic

[sharp tartan]

hsr sci fi

[ebon sphinx]

Arknights technology levels are kind of all over the place

consider that uh, the Laterano Apostolic Gun Knights are Sankta wearing full plate armor armed with man portable gatling guns while there are knights from other nations that still uses old fashioned full plate armor with lances and shields. Meanwhile, Rhodes Island often uses helicopters while some of the Reunion grunts were left stunned because they have never seen an artificial flying object that isnt just a simple drone.

though, if a high ranking individual looks old fashioned, that usually means that they have some bullshit Arts to back them up

[tardy vigil]

• isn't a simple drone

• simple drones were made 100 years after simple helicopters

They are just poor

When vietnamese partisans used wooden pikes in a pit covered by leaves - Vatican exhibition was guarded by laser movement detection

Soviet vests in Afghanistan used simple metal plates (in 89)

"technology level" varies on how poor you are a lot

[sharp tartan]

We literally have caveman in the form of the races in the gavial event

[hot rampart]

thats closer to tribal people than caveman

[ebon sphinx]

they are more similar to those tribes that are sometimes armed with AKs, RPGs and Technicals...

[tardy vigil]

During battle for Moscow in 1941-42 soviets rolled out 1812 canons from museum with museum ammunition.
They had pathetic range for the age and broke after dozens of shots - but sheer size of explosions could turn over panzer III on its side - and it was better then 0 anti-tank guns
(Battle for Tula)

Certified "cult of science" moment

While Rhodes island is peak training lowest count PMC with professionals from all over the world

[ebon sphinx]

the rank and file of RI are nothing special, but they have alot of connections alongside somehow being a PMC despite supposedly being a neutral Red Cross or Doctors without Borders

[tardy vigil]

this is exactly what PMC want you to believe they are

it make sense to combine both in a world where international law isnt respected whatsoever

I dont wanna point fingers but in modern history we have seen quite a bunch of violations of Red Cross neutrality status, so it makes sense for even more wild world to rely upon your own guards

[tribal thicket]

lol

[tardy vigil]

"doctors without borders" and red cross dont ignore borders
they are organisations that make deals with each specific goverment/authority to commense their activity

in our world being disarmed group boosts their credibility, in AK world it would damage it as they would seem weak and useless, unworthy of conversation

[tribal thicket]

anw look at how hot she is

[tardy vigil]

why is she wearing a dynamite vest

but yes, extremely hot

[vagrant tusk]

W is bomb proof

[ebon sphinx]

speaking of deals, some of their sponsorship were indeed gained because sometimes theres a few high class people seeking treatment...

[willow nymph]

turns out having a near monopoly on the treatment of a fatal disease spread all around the world is pretty good

[vagrant tusk]

Yea
https://youtu.be/BekUql6hWto?si=v5pKBsrpRubePZdR

[tardy vigil]

medicine is a really high tech industry

[tardy vigil]

even without such monopoly they would be big because some world parts are extremely poor in educated talent and communications are tough - people need to treat all sorts of things in best ways possible

[tardy vigil]

internet says insulin in usa costs on average 100$
where I live it costs (on average) 10-15 (lowest around 5$)

[vagrant tusk]

great

[tardy vigil]

the thing with health - when person suffers they are ready to pay anything to not die and end this misery

[vagrant tusk]

Not sure which Insulin though cos there r various types.. fast, intermediate, slow etc

[tardy vigil]

so without regulations and competition prices can go to the moon

and profits

[vagrant tusk]

in my country, people pay 25 cents or 1 USD for medical visit/treatment

[willow nymph]

Insulin is a big ass massive scam 👏

[vagrant tusk]

very low compared to US

[tardy vigil]

and especially rich people ready to pay 15x just to guarantee it gets fixed

[vagrant tusk]

cos our healthcare is subsidized heavily bythe government

[tardy vigil]

thats basically public healthcare

[willow nymph]

The price of the medicine itself isn't even high in the US ... Hospitals buy vials of it for 2~3$ but the epipen (insulin injection syringe) is what costs 100$

[tardy vigil]

we have both, public and private
but even private with best doctors is nowhere near USA

since public healthcare naturally puts a competition to the market

[tardy vigil]

wild capitalism goes wild

[vagrant tusk]

how much do people pay for basic visit in public hospital at ur country?

[tardy vigil]

0

[willow nymph]

0

I love having free universal healthcare

[tardy vigil]

I dont use public healthcare much tho

it kinda sucks

[vagrant tusk]

nice

[tardy vigil]

(it depends)

[willow nymph]

I'm french so mine is good

[tardy vigil]

my teeth are fully private

but my liver was treated in a public hospital

• checkups, x rays, blood tests

ngl 1 dollar per visit is kinda a joke so people dont go there for no reason

[vagrant tusk]

this is US right?

[wanton stratus]

Wut

0 is always 0, right?

[vagrant tusk]

Not asking about currency conversion

[vagrant tusk]

Yes they r neighbours

[hot rampart]

hey i played risk of rain 2

[willow nymph]

[wanton stratus]

Oh, my bad

[vagrant tusk]

no problem lol just saying

[wanton stratus]

Genuinely curious, do you know why so many Russians played dota 2 on EU west when they had their own server?

[vagrant tusk]

I've seen people commented Russians hated each other when they r on their own server

[wanton stratus]

Damn

[vagrant tusk]

I mean a lot of people were saying that on Dota reddit

[wanton stratus]

At least they can communicate

[hot rampart]

many such cases

[wanton stratus]

But idk if they had that much better latency, considering back when you could see a world map of where the servers were located it was evident the Russia server was in Sweden lol

[willow nymph]

also there's Russian and people speaking Russian

[vagrant tusk]

oh it's in Sweden ... never expected that

[hot rampart]

u make me feel very very

old

It’s pretty funny imo

[tribal thicket]

Dota 2
Old

[wanton stratus]

You are, sweeting

[wanton stratus]

It’s kind of strange too because they put up the server even before the Crimea situation so there should’ve been no reason to not use servers in Russia, especially considering Sweden’s high tax rate

You used to be able to map edit Dota maps, then insert a code to give yourself hacks when you type a certain phrase.

Tachanka from R6S is mentioned to often converse with Ursus natives in his profile from the collab

Well

Tachanka is a Russian word

So no doubts here

Angelina lowers the weight on enemies right? Who else does that?

[tardy vigil]

New unit can roll in failed 50/50?

From banner just a month ago?

[wanton stratus]

Ho’olheyak talent 2 decreases weight by 1 stage of enemies in her atk range with more than 80% hp

It’s a bit more difficult to use than Angelina’s S3

[tough matrix]

probably yeah

[willow nymph]

I don't even bring vanguards generally
edit : do bring mumu because she's cute but yeah spent years not bringing vg into general content except if i wanted to play with shiny new 30+dp toys

most maps open with 15 dp ops

except some exceptions

[civic linden]

Every new unit goes straight to the standard poll after their banner ends, except limited units

Limited happen 4 times a year, summer event, half year event, chinese new year event and anniversary event

I really wanted other two, especially horn

[willow nymph]

the best of the class

[tardy vigil]

But oh well

[willow nymph]

s2 is her best skill

[spark oasis]

Yes. It's honestly not that bad, compared to higher risk CCs.

So if I beat the stage just by looking at what you and Useless did it won’t count as using a guide, right?

[hot rampart]

i guess so since u need to think about the execution

[versed compass]

did not play it yet

[wanton stratus]

I started the stage but didn’t kill a single enemy

So, did you beat it?

[versed compass]

best vg in CC
best vg in IS
best vg in general content

[versed compass]

i litirally said i did not play it

how to beat something i did not play

[wanton stratus]

That’s what I thought

[wanton stratus]

Kama spread misinformation smh my head

Fresh hell

[versed compass]

i leaked

the freaking last enemy

[wanton stratus]

My condolences

[versed compass]

ok the chain caster did not kill key this time

the green guy did not survive

[versed compass]

kama just came from the future

and they picked the worst oneto be the pic

[wanton stratus]

I see everyone is using Ceobe Mod-X lv3

[versed compass]

she is litirally

the best dps for extreme def

which is this event in a nutshell

[wanton stratus]

I guess I oughta build her mod

[versed compass]

my modules is pretty much what i would recommend you to do
tho yato 1 is enough proabbly

thankfully did not have to level saria

she gonna stay at e2 10 for rest of her life

[wanton stratus]

Mostima ain’t built though

*my mostima

[versed compass]

her slow is a tool you cant really find on other ops

so build her

[wanton stratus]

Shit

[versed compass]

tho my clear barely used mostima

[wanton stratus]

Everyone used her too

[hot rampart]

saria and suzuran alternating is good enough

mostima is like a

when u alternate between suzuran and saria unsuccessfully u have something else to slow

[versed compass]

you proabbly could opt out those for other units or something without much trouble

[wanton stratus]

Is Reed alter core?

[hot rampart]

not really

[versed compass]

i think she is like the next to replace after the ones i marked

[hot rampart]

shes there for more dps

from arts amplification

[wanton stratus]

Oh yeah, my Suzuran is also still sl7

[versed compass]

why is your units so... unbuilt

like i under stand not leveling to 90

[hot rampart]

i didnt use suzuran so its definitely more usable

[versed compass]

or not to do modules

[hot rampart]

[versed compass]

but suzuran s3m3?

comeon

[wanton stratus]

I’m hoarding for literally no reason

I don’t know why

Reedic is sl7

Eyjaberry as well

[versed compass]

am a firm believer you should do at least 1 m3 on every unit you e2

eyja is actually fine on sl7

if you using s1

[wanton stratus]

Yes

[wanton stratus]

That’s probably good

I only recently adopted a “lv90 if mod3” clause, myself

[tardy vigil]

gib me one

idk why ines called op, sure she gives dp if enemies dont die in front of her, but she has low block count and low defenses

its either everything dies in fron of her so dp generation goes mid or huge wave of fat guys come and walks over her

[ebon sphinx]

shes a fast redeploy

not for holding lanes

[willow nymph]

passive crowd control without using deployment slots is really damn busted

not to mention she's super good at opening maps

[vagrant tusk]

hits fast... binds... stealth/camouflaged... prints dp...

[civic linden]

Why does the shield guy have S attack while the sword guy only has B

My man needs to sharpen his sword

[civic linden]

Agent vanguards can be really fun when you get the hang of it, their short redeploy time lets them do so much around the whole map

[hot rampart]

yeah thats her downside she actually deals dmg and useful through out the whole stage unlike normal vanguards which is just dp print

[willow nymph]

huge fat wave comes and ... oh she stalls them with the aoe slow passive and the bind

that's still much better than every other vg except sail and mumu

if you kill everything with ines you don't need much dp gen anyway

[tardy vigil]

I really dont understand where I need to redeploy damage

ok if its an assassin that comes with a stun and smashes mages

or tank like gravel who just eats hits when situation goes tough

overwhelming assault usually comes at main path - and so I can just deploy regular dps there

[willow nymph]

ah early game

[tardy vigil]

[hot rampart]

she can kill mage

her s2 gives her stealth

no need for stun

mage cant hit her (stealth)

[tardy vigil]

so she is an assasin?

[hot rampart]

yes

[willow nymph]

redeploying boosts your dps significantly by abusing initial sp and where you fight enemies

[tardy vigil]

Isee

[tardy vigil]

I dont understand this statement

[willow nymph]

Also means your ops that wouldn't have done much offskill doesn't take a deploy slot

[tardy vigil]

assasin and early dp is useful, I agree

[willow nymph]

basically

deploy op near the red box use skill and kill shit
retreat once skill ends
redeploy somewhere else to kill other enemies as needed

that's helidropping in a nutshell

tho ines main value in helidropping is just setting her slow field at 2 spots

(it's very valuable)

like insanely so

it also works even if she's retreated so yeah

[tardy vigil]

slow field is s3?

[willow nymph]

talent she gets at E2

busted aaaaa talent

[tardy vigil]

I have neither exp nor lmd to e2 anyone

Probably have mats to do it

[tardy vigil]

Is she a good unit?

High range means she is likely to cover both lanes, but then she has slow aspd and prioritizes low def enemies - not killing them with s2

Even if she picks caster over some flood of regular dudes she won't finish them and therefore they will stay behind with 50% HP casting

I guess if DPS is good it doesn't matter

[civic linden]

She can be fun

I like using her to chunk half a boss' hp

Her s2 gives so much attack she does fine even agaisn't high def

[wanton stratus]

Wait what, something like that happened for real?

Tf

[ebon sphinx]

yeah basically the company behind Kizuna Ai thought that the people were drawn to the character only and thought that they could hire like 3 other actors to cover even more content than usual

No, the biggest fans can and will be able to tell the difference

[wanton stratus]

So they didn’t disclose the fact that they hired the actors and passed them off as the original?

[ebon sphinx]

tried to, but you know the rest

[wanton stratus]

Actually insane

[ebon sphinx]

I hear that Yagoo once dealt with this question of hiring somebody to fill in when Kiryu Coco graduated and he refused. Likely because he knows that not only Kiryu Coco is difficult to fake but also it would destroy a lot of goodwill in company

[fluid verge]

Vtuber viewers simp the character and the voice actor

U can't have coco without kson

[tardy vigil]

Why people use the word graduated

It's called "fired"

Employees are getting fired, or leave the job

Majority of viewer base aren't 13, grown ass people working grown ass jobs

[wanton stratus]

Are you sure about that?

Maybe the majority of the fan base are manchildren

[tribal thicket]

Vtuber fanbase is in fact majority children and manchildren

[versed compass]

mom can we have reaper

[tardy vigil]

I've barely beaten 9-6

Those 500 def 70% res stages are kinda bs

[versed compass]

the res is silence able btw

[tardy vigil]

Yea but I have no silence besides lappland

And it's an auto-cast long charge skill

Andreana feels really weird, with her skill she's afk half the time

Or maybe her aspd is this bad

[versed compass]

the silence is passive on lapp

so if you pair with casters you still can damage them with arts

tho lapp uptime eh on silence on e1

[tardy vigil]

I guess

[tardy vigil]

I think those 9-x stages made me completely unable to do shit without the video help

[civic linden]

Yeah...chapter 9 is genually pretty badly designed

Don't feel bad about it

[willow nymph]

idol term

it's just how it's called in that world

mainly because idol isn't a long term job and you're pretty much too old for it at 27

there isn't much meaning to it beyond that

[tardy vigil]

idol?

like a pop star?

[willow nymph]

no as in japanese idols

[tardy vigil]

who are japanese idols

[willow nymph]

a very closed and basically jp only culture

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_idol

for all the info

[wanton stratus]

Is this from her profile?

[ebon sphinx]

yes

[wanton stratus]

I see

I quite liked this April fools event

Probably the best one yet imo

[versed compass]

how far are you in the other arc?

chap 9 onward go with more complicated mechanics

you wont love chap 10

[versed compass]

CN one is much better

but honestly the comptition is pretty weak generally

I haven’t checked out the current CN one

[quaint arch]

Y'all...
S2 Muelsyse or S2 (BingChil)Ling?
(Mastery)

[ebon sphinx]

Ling is an M6(2 and 3) character

[quaint arch]

Muelsyse?

[ebon sphinx]

hmm, also M6 2 and 3

though priority wise, Ling

[quaint arch]

[ebon sphinx]

since even though I genuinely wanted max pot Muelsyse, she doesn't get as much use as Ling

well jessicalt actually had her art changed for kr fellas

:kekq

tbh would use mumu more then ling

ling mostly used as solo op and its boring to low op with her anyway

i use mumu more than ling

i share the same sentiment

[wanton stratus]

Why is the OG better? You like fish or smth?

[tough matrix]

done

is it worth to m6 her?

or I just go with s3m3?

[wanton stratus]

I did M6

But S3 is the most impactful skill, no doubt

[fluid verge]

s2m3 for lazy gaming

s3m3 for boss nuking

[wanton stratus]

Keep in mind S2M3 doesn’t even reach 2K dps

So there are better options for constant damage

The biggest asset of S2M3 is to be able to instakill weak enemies

[vagrant tusk]

I M6 her too.. both skills r good... but I usually use the lazy S2

[mossy tinsel]

Is 9-6 a good way to farm compound cutting fluid?

[vagrant tusk]

From Gamepress

[mossy tinsel]

I'll rather gacha 9-6

That's way too far away.

[vagrant tusk]

I used to farm these story stages
But nowadays I farm only event stages n those r enough actually.. while getting event points n buy out most of the shop products

[vagrant tusk]

otherwise use this site

https://penguin-stats.io/result/item

just use the English version at top right

[vagrant tusk]

here is my compound cutting fluid stash.. from farming event stages

[willow nymph]

St it does tho?

Lmao

[tardy vigil]

I did it

Why it's so scary

[wanton stratus]

Lore reasons

[tardy vigil]

Are any of those units worth raising?

I already have typhon and andreana as phys heavy hitters who break over armor anyway

[wanton stratus]

Probably not? Unless you find yourself lacking arts damage with this roster for some reason, in which case I’d build click or indigo

Otherwise just wait for better casters such as GG, Eyja, Ifrit and Ceobe

[tardy vigil]

I have too much mage chips

While farming for my stacked archer roaster

[wanton stratus]

Oops, meant to write 2K

[civic linden]

gee no wonder you're struggling agaisnt defender enemies

[wanton stratus]

I mean, assuming one is supposed to use physical dmg against the ch9 enemies with refraction makes sense

Bro just can’t rarity abuse yet due to lacking the units, otherwise it would have worked

[hot rampart]

the main studio animating it is literally yostar pictures kek

[versed compass]

better dance

[versed compass]

i think she is in the better end of constant damage

tho s2 gains are smol

[versed compass]

rock rock is amazing

[hot rampart]

pointy hat > goofy ah hat

[versed compass]

also s2 animation is much more adorable

my little world ending monster cant be this cute

[willow nymph]

gg

[quaint arch]

IS#4 Difficulty Flooring is much higher than IS#3

[willow nymph]

*better

there's no terrible shitty maps

and the floor to floor difficulty is actually pretty darn smooth

unlike is3

[versed compass]

its also have much slower scaling in diffeculty

until you hit like 12 where shit go hell

tho i gotta admit
boss mechanics were kinda lacking in IS4
but IS4 mechanics (aka index and folds) are peak

💸 🍦

If i unlock Standard Bearer Module, who should be first?
A. Dimas
B. Saileach
C. Tablecloth Dwarf

(||D. Spend Module somewhere else better||)

[hot rampart]

D

how often do u put bagpipe or ines infront of the flagbearer which u put probably beside ur blue box or somewhere safe

[quaint arch]

Let's say none

[tardy vigil]

3 way banner is such a scam

[quaint arch]

Well, it is if you have even 1 of them before

Just like me

[tardy vigil]

I rolled 1

Can't roll another because it's a scam

[versed compass]

the chances is still better then average banner if you think about it

tho i guess total blind off rate is better then guranteed dupe off rate

[tardy vigil]

How is so

[versed compass]

if you have 1 then its 66% of new op (the other 2) and 33% of dupe

a normal banenr is 50% rate up and 50% off rate

tho if you missing many off rate as i said above you will have higher chance of new op since off rate = very likely new op

so it still depend on player i guess

[tardy vigil]

I cant miss offrate on this banner?

[versed compass]

this banner is gurantted rate up yes

thats the whole point of it

[tardy vigil]

oh wow not so scam anymore

[versed compass]

joint operation (4 op banners) also work the same

[tardy vigil]

is it worth wheling 20$ on begginer pack of 20 pulls

[versed compass]

i honestly dont know much about whaling

ask the local whales here

all i know is monthly = best deal

[mossy tinsel]

Which robot should I get from Recruitment?

[quaint arch]

[tardy vigil]

people were using side hustler to donate

Yostar froze the acc and demands a ransom

[mossy tinsel]

That's funny.

The perfect example of "Fuck around and find out".

[tardy vigil]

well, people in russia cant donate with google service (only with apple pay if have an iphone), so those hustlers are only options

afaik there were also a few freezes on en due to buying in Turkiye region

(they have crazy inflation and yostar updates local prices slower, therefore it ends up really cheap in $)

[tardy vigil]

30$ well invested

3/3 noscam banner confirmed

[hot rampart]

what the fuck

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-explosion-explodes-cat-explodes-gif-10131775219258044191

explode

[quaint arch]

30 Bucks of how many pulls?

[hot rampart]

my guess is 20

[quaint arch]

Chew Bye Outfit with Bamboos

[tardy vigil]

20 pulls + a monthly

including every transaction fee and tax, and I think my money paid like 8 fees before going into yostar pockets

monthly didnt do anything yet but I guess it pleased the pseudo-rng
