for Chernobog, consider that quite a number of people were against the operation but it was Amiya who pushed for it through sheer faith...Kaltsit was opposed to it but deferred to Amiya

[wanton stratus]

I can’t wait for x6 to arrive

There’s left than a month left now…

[ebon sphinx]

also ||it puts Scout and Ace's sacrifice into such a bittersweet moment. They completely believed that Doktah was a living saint who got broken by the horrors of war. Turns out Doktah was meant to destroy the world all along...but through Theresa's last act of sacrifice, she, by intention, gave Doktah the chance to become the saint that Amiya, Kaltsit and even Scout, Ace and others believed them to be...||

[mossy tinsel]

RI is evil and we doktahs are evil as well. Screw being heroes/the good guy!

[quaint arch]

It's time to become Portal Man

[mossy tinsel]

Become Yuwan Gilfrei!

Doktah will contiune Weedy's bloodline tho, that's my headcanon.

No.

Oh wait....
SV is nearing the end of an era

[mossy tinsel]

SV2 is coming near.

[quaint arch]

Hmmm....

What's the role of Odda in the Babel event?

[hot rampart]

this isnt talk about much due to other lore bombs but we get to see the civil war part during babel event

|| all i know is that he is looking for his parent amidst this war and kid manfred also helping him ||

[tidal hawk]

||wait, he's as old as Manfred!? But he looks so young||

[hot rampart]

ngl i either blame HG or the artist almost not obvious fetish regarding odda art

that artist can actually draw adult guy cuz he draw humus

but he drew greyy, oda

[ebon sphinx]

lol

[hot rampart]

|| yeah odda also has young sprite ||

[tidal hawk]

||yeah I am aware, it's just I'm surprised he still looks like preteen in the current art when he's near as old as manfred... Or is he somehow a Durin?||

[hot rampart]

lol no

its typical sarkaz long lifespan shenanigans but yeah no doubt his current art looks pretty young

and god his artist

actually drew him half naked to celebrate his kit reveal

[tidal hawk]

Wait what???

Oh wait, it's that artist I followed long time ago on pixiv, he made good shota arts of elsword

Never new that person drew arknights chara as well since it doesn't show

Wait he drew humus? The art style looks so different tho

[hot rampart]

i think Artstyle is similar

but the face is vastly different

and really change the whole overall look

Powercreep is inevitable.

[wanton stratus]

After countless hours I have beaten S-2. However, I believe this to be the limit of what I am capable of achieving with my power alone. To go further there may be no choice but to borrow the strength of others

How the heck he already has his own comic strip, he was just released 1 day ago

[hot rampart]

official CN chibi comic artist

[tidal hawk]

That's official???

[hot rampart]

uh sorta

but

theres a

thing that says

"this comic is non-canon"

uh whats the word when u see like "every character in this fiction is not reference to any real life person"

[tidal hawk]

Yeah that makes sense

But are those comics released by HG approval tho?

[hot rampart]

but yeah i think HG always commision that artist to draw this comic strips

[tidal hawk]

Then that's the answer

[hot rampart]

all new operators always get em

[tidal hawk]

All I know is just from the Arknights operators manga

[tidal hawk]

Wait that guys is just the translator no?

[hot rampart]

uhh ah

last update 3 months ago tho but periodically someone should dump update it from time to time

[tidal hawk]

Owh, alright, thanks for sharing!

[wanton stratus]

You think it’s hell, then you get to the S-stages and A-3 just feels like a summer breeze

Happened to me

[tired gulch]

Okay. I think I found the next phase of my problem.

yup I'm searching for it

[vagrant tusk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA6933yrphQ

I highly recommend to add on the ops like mine if u have them

[wanton stratus]

Oh my

I see

[willow nymph]

I mean it just makes sense
If you're in danger constantly and you're old that means you saw and lived through a lot of shit

• you're high up in the hierarchy

||In that sense doctor is the most dangerous of them all||

[wanton stratus]

Oh my goodness

I did not think of using the coffins to circumvent redeployment time

[vagrant tusk]

Yup
The special mechanic

[wanton stratus]

That gives me a lot of ideas

[wanton stratus]

I can’t believe I’m saying this

But I could probably kill the boss if I had Ifrit Mod3

[hot rampart]

i really dont think so

[wanton stratus]

It sounds clinically insane, I know

[hot rampart]

are u trying to nuke s3 boss?

with ceobe

[wanton stratus]

Perhaps…

[hot rampart]

i used ifrit sl7

[wanton stratus]

(Yes)

[hot rampart]

but there was like

saria s3m3
eyja s3m3
reed s3m3

ceobe s2m3

[wanton stratus]

Wow

[hot rampart]

mostima s3m3

[wanton stratus]

I can’t fit all that at the same time with my strat

[hot rampart]

that fucker gets deleted into hell in 1 tile

if u cant clear its fine

theres no medals attached to S stage

only pride and accomplishment

[wanton stratus]

I know

I’m having a little bit of fun

Making slight progress each hour

[hot rampart]

i did the same strat day 1 but i couldnt nuke him fast enough cuz my eyja and saria is s3 l7

[wanton stratus]

What I don’t understand is how you have so many slots left over for supporting operators to nuke the boss

[hot rampart]

my first initial 10 run had rexecutor

[vagrant tusk]

I did it for the Lmd

[hot rampart]

mlynar sweeps mid lane

[wanton stratus]

Not without slowers

[hot rampart]

but u need a lot of crowd control

or suzuran

suzuran and saria chain use

i didnt use suzuran tho

[wanton stratus]

This is the squad that has taken me the furthest so far

[hot rampart]

make up for it with ethan + gnosis and mostima

[vagrant tusk]

Saria calcification covers until boss lane
Suzuran etc as well

[hot rampart]

ngl typhon has no use

boss def is way too high

[wanton stratus]

Yes she does

[hot rampart]

also u have sexas

u can drop her on boss phase 3 (he is on the ground) to res debuff so ceobe do more dmg

with skill 2

phase 2 that mf floating tho

[wanton stratus]

I use Sexas S3 to stun the Sarkaz Wither Maw

So Młynar isn’t eaten

[hot rampart]

if u can time between saria and suzuran usage the mid lane can be clear easily by mlynar

swap typhon out with another crowd control

issue is someone needs to clear the chains on mlynar cuz the boss keep chaining him for highest aggro

also god damn pot 6 ifrit

[wanton stratus]

Yes sir

The only non-welfare max pot 6* I have

Recruitment blessed me

[hot rampart]

i have siege pot 7

i wish i get useful pots instead

[wanton stratus]

Wait, hold on

I’ve been putting Młynar 2 tiles from the blue box

Should I put him right next to it instead

[hot rampart]

i have seen a lot of clears and it doesnt matter where u put him in that 4 tiles

as long as he can hit enemies

facing down or left works

[wanton stratus]

I usually place him left

But I just realized I can rotate him down by putting him in the coffin to get the extra damage I need

[hot rampart]

i did put him beside the top blue box facing left

and put ethan infront

[hot rampart]

yeah boss skill is helping u against the nerf

[wanton stratus]

I didn’t consider it could be a positive until watching the guide shinobuvamp linked

They don’t really make it clear there’s no redeployment time, you have to learn about it organically

[hot rampart]

its an experience u get from

sarkaz wither vore

[wanton stratus]

And of course, as the very skilled player I am, I never let my ops go in the coffin in the first place

[wanton stratus]

I use that too

For Saria

[hot rampart]

how far did u get

[wanton stratus]

Almost killed the boss completely

I was very close

Then there are only mobs left

[hot rampart]

that typhon can be replaced

[wanton stratus]

No way

She helps kill the avengers and the phase 1 boss

[hot rampart]

ceobe solo

i used her to leave boss at 1% hp at top

then retreat ceobe just in time to deploy her at the bottom when boss reaches there

need help with saria s3 tho but i couldn't bother

i brought surtr and they both is enough

[wanton stratus]

2 minute redeploy time

[hot rampart]

yeah its a long ass time for him to reach bottom

[wanton stratus]

I leave him at 1% hp with Typhon

[hot rampart]

bring surtr and i think its all the extra dmg u need

when he is on phase 3

[wanton stratus]

We’ll see

[ebon sphinx]

i only learned once I watched a video closely...

[wanton stratus]

Nooooooo

I killed the boss but then couldn’t clear the enemies

[hot rampart]

many such cases

[wanton stratus]

Oh my fucking god

Trilby Asher with 1% of HP left teleported into the blue box

I was so close I could taste it

[hot rampart]

💀

[wanton stratus]

Atk down is such a pain

[vagrant tusk]

I learned when the youtube guide guy Oyuki mentioned during the video

[wanton stratus]

Now my strategy from before isn’t working despite doing everything the same

Fun times

All of a sudden the [extinction] survives and kills all my ops

For no discernible reason

If I’d just killed that Trillby Asher I would have been done 2 hours ago

[tardy vigil]

is it even worth to spend 180k LMD on e2 typhon?

sure she gonna hit harder, but most other units are e1 20-40

[sharp tartan]

Typhon kills bosses by herself

So your investment on her isnt bad

But if you really wants to spread your usage of money you just e2 a 4* instead (namely myrtle)

[hot rampart]

i wouldnt really e2 Myrtle unless u wanna jump on her skill mastery

u aint using her for blocking

so stats are pointless on her

[sharp tartan]

I forget who my first e2 was

Prob amiya

[vagrant tusk]

I E2 Myrtle cos she provides 25 HP healing per sec for all vanguards

that has been useful in sustaining some earlier waves

but shouldn't be a priority for outinslava

[tardy vigil]

I already have an e2 amiya

She's really good at killing those flying statues with her true damage

[tardy vigil]

Fuck it we ball

[hot rampart]

her s3 useful to kill key targets

but will "overshoot" if theres mobs nearby said key target

[mossy tinsel]

I finally got Ashlock to E2!

[fluid verge]

just in time for fortress mods

[civic linden]

The new fia mod makes it so she never damages herself enough to go below the self buff range right?

[fluid verge]

man fuck s-3

[wanton stratus]

She has 2 stages of self buff; +50% atk at above 80% hp and +25% atk when at 80%-50% hp. Her second module makes her not lose HP from her talent anymore when she reaches like 50,3% hp, so the first self buff stage will be active

[wanton stratus]

Fuck me

[wanton stratus]

Yeah, I hate this stage too

I finally fucking beat it

Man

[fluid verge]

the second form is such a pos

That's for 2nd Expansion, right?

Yep

Not available until d12 anyway

[quaint arch]

Am i gonna be fine against the Crazelyseon with this Setup on D10?

[wanton stratus]

It is, plus the rewards for reaching lv 55-65 are 50K LMD total, which is less than one day’s income from the base

in retrospect AK isnt THAT big but

Is it right after the Babel event is done?

[hot rampart]

global getting ch 13

[tidal hawk]

No intermezzi or anything?

[hot rampart]

its like

tomorrow

[tidal hawk]

Oh wait I thought ch13 is the newest one for CN

[hot rampart]

kr is global

[tidal hawk]

Ah yes the hoederer ch... Must've forgotten about it

I'm so loopy...

[hot rampart]

CN likely be getting

ch 14

as anniversary

https://tenor.com/view/read-gif-25879491

You’ll never make me read

[tidal hawk]

Why can I hear this gif

[wanton stratus]

Ikr, it’s iconic

[ebon sphinx]

in stuff that clicked for me, Eyja referring to Doktah as senpai makes 100% sense considering the reveal that ||Doktah can be considered the single foremost expert on originium given all the reveals in Babel||

[wanton stratus]

Nice try

You ain’t getting me that easy

[tidal hawk]

But isn't Eyja's expertise is on Volcanoes and stuff like that?

So different of interest

[hot rampart]

ye

[ebon sphinx]

yes, and it's instrincally linked with originium and it's movements

considering how a volcano eruption spews alot of Originium everywhere

volcanology is inherently tied to studies of geology, weather and whatnot

Geology I guess but weather?

[ebon sphinx]

those gases cause weather changes and phenomena

[wanton stratus]

Meteorology

Eyja the weather presenter

[ebon sphinx]

one of her occupations is indeed Catastrophe Messenger

monitoring incoming originium phenomenon

[tidal hawk]

It's great since then she doesn't have to listen to other people, but people needs to listen to her

[hallow garnet]

oh my god

i did it

jesus christ

holy virgin mary

and all that

malded like 3 hours

😄

okay 2

[tidal hawk]

Oooh S3, nice work

[hallow garnet]

what a bullshit stage tho

truly

[wanton stratus]

AYO TYPHON!?

[hallow garnet]

what of it

oo

is she a quirk pick? 😄

or why the surprise

@wanton stratus

[wanton stratus]

Btfo

[hallow garnet]

oh

[wanton stratus]

[hallow garnet]

tbh

shes not for the boss

shes for the other shit

also she pops the seal on mlynar the fastest

which leads to faster uptime

[wanton stratus]

I used Typhon too in my clear

But I did attack the boss though

[hallow garnet]

i just followed kyo's clear with a bit of modification

im shameless

i tried doin it blind but it's last day and i have better shit to do

[wanton stratus]

I get that

The clear must have taken me over 10 hours in total

[hallow garnet]

pain

[wanton stratus]

Well, some did it faster, like Useless and theinsanething

But I’m not as good as them

[tardy vigil]

Just don't click spoilers guys

I don't do it

Did it

• Got e2 game breaking typhoon
• didn't use her in the end

Measly 19 retries. Kyostin clears are too pixel-perfect, thankfully some other guy did clear of this stage and it was much easier

[ebon sphinx]

thats the trade off for using such low stat units

[tardy vigil]

Eckogen also does low star clear, except it wasn't so pixel perfect on falling those pillars at exact moment

I can clear/stall trash mobs, only need to reliably kill stupid birds

It's fine, hopefully they never come back

I also hate this meth patch on the ground

[sharp tartan]

Meth patch

[tardy vigil]

Unless I see a video or try myself (losing for science) I have to guess "those big soldiers lose half HP over 10 grids walked"

[sharp tartan]

Oh

The monke tile

[tardy vigil]

This one

[sharp tartan]

Yes ik

It's been forever since that tile ever makes me tilted

The last time was

Cc4

[tardy vigil]

How the heck am I supposed to know when I should fight and when I should "just let go, they die themselves"

Thankfully jessicat can tank anything

Second bar with shield and 70% all damage dodge
Trench warfare at it's finest

But not meth and birds

Chapter 9 can't get any worse

[quaint arch]

Well....

[fluid verge]

When is ch13 dropping

[wanton stratus]

19 hours until maintenance, 25 hours until maintenance is supposed to be done

[fluid verge]

Ah tommorow

Perfect the JoJo cat I shall get

[wanton stratus]

Are you pulling?

Is anyone pulling?

[hot rampart]

me

im pulling so u guys dont have to

[wanton stratus]

Godspeed and my condolences

[hot rampart]

nah id win

[wanton stratus]

I hope you do

[fluid verge]

Not pulling

Too many heavy hitters coming up

Like mommy degen

[wanton stratus]

I agree

Depending on my luck I might not even be able to pull everyone I want

[fluid verge]

Shu is what I really want

Farmer waif

[wanton stratus]

Limited good

[spark oasis]

Tbh, Shu and Zuo Le being both pretty stacked units make that banner more appealing.

The fact that the R6 banners come immediately after however....

[tardy vigil]

• watch AK content
• oh you like AK? Here is AK iceberg
• I watch it, long so do 2 tried by 30 min
• oh you really like iceberg videos? How about most illegal&disturbing videogames iceberg

This is among the worst shit I have ever heard in my life. Heard because there is not much game footage on the video due to its nature

[fluid verge]

What?

[tardy vigil]

Watching AK let me to most disturbing videos on the YouTube

Damned be algorithm

[wanton stratus]

Instead of clicking the spoiler tags in discord, you traumatized yourself on YT

[tardy vigil]

I can cope that I have heard worse

But then I remember what this "worse" was and

[civic linden]

ak lore is can be quite fucked up so i guess google though you were used to that kind of stuff

[tidal hawk]

The most effed up thing I saw from AK videos is that pseudo analog horror bit on Sami's trailer

The one that explains the signs to escape sami

[wanton stratus]

Which one?

Link?

Yooo, she actually got a Scottish VA haha

[wanton stratus]

It’s so peak

[quaint arch]

Finally doing The Last Knight (while also doing D7 IS#3)

[tardy vigil]

People - try is2 it's the easiest one

Me - run ends on the second battle

Integrated lack of understanding

[hot rampart]

it do be like that

[devout zenith]

@quaint arch

[tribal thicket]

Both the hottest in AK

[tardy vigil]

Roll last coins on virtuoso or save for rainbow siege guarantee

[tribal thicket]

Both aren't meta, just fomo waifus

[hot rampart]

arturia is pretty meta
and ela is best sniper in the game right now

[tardy vigil]

Then I will roll and get whatever they bless me with

[quaint arch]

Oh....

You sure are not bored from not pulling anything this long?

[quaint arch]

Ela is the Best Sniper in the Game right now
Ela

• Class: Specialist
• Archetype: Trapmaster

Excuse me?

[hot rampart]

ah yes

a sniper just so happen to summon stuff on the battlefield

instead of fast redeploy assassin summon or range extension

its 3x3 tiles instant aoe trap that applies 35% fragile on enemies

[tardy vigil]

Flashbang

https://tenor.com/view/cat-flashbang-gif-25002731

Sounds cool, maybe I should pull for her

But again, too many snipers already

[quaint arch]

Another Le "Blue Bladedance" Relic

(Also I'm finally finished with the IS#3 Battle Pass and ED3)

(Yes, it's D0 cuz Battle Pass is just close to finishing anyway )

[tardy vigil]

How the fuck am I supposed to beat it without healer

Take defender pack and this dog healer tank?

[quaint arch]

@devout zenith
400 x 1,000 / 600
3 x 10
1 x 15
(401 x 180 / 600)

I'm sure you can still do some basic math, right?

Here what mine looks like in a meanwhile @devout zenith

[devout zenith]

i spent 100 pulls for almond fyi

[quaint arch]

Ahh yes, pulling for Base Skills

Just like always

[devout zenith]

i can but i actually like it when you do it for me

[quaint arch]

Pfft... Aight then

[devout zenith]

gives me a reason to fleggs

[quaint arch]

666.666 (Orundumb)
30 (10-Pull Permit)
15 (Pull Permit)
120.3 (Prime Roccs)

Your Pull Number with just Orundumb is cursed @devout zenith

Spend it away

[devout zenith]

nah i love my devil's number

[quaint arch]

Don't blame me if you somehow got bad luck for that.

[devout zenith]

and like i just had to get more

i claimed my weekly 500 just before that

Not to mention

[sharp tartan]

I think I only clear like 4 parasim

[quaint arch]

Procrastination be like

[hot rampart]

so true oomfie

orchestra kino soon

[versed compass]

6X soon

[hot rampart]

finally

[tardy vigil]

How many stages are in IS2?

[ebon sphinx]

5

[versed compass]

he said stages not floors

[tardy vigil]

Uuuh

[hot rampart]

i think u should

is4

straight up

i do find is2 "easy" but is4 has this extra mechanic that lets you recruit an operator u dont even own for free

[civic linden]

Farming IS can be kinda rough, especially with your current roster

You'll probably gonna have to spam typhon for quite a while

Also IS2 and IS3 do have some "fuck you, you lose" stages

[tardy vigil]

My current roster has a few broken units

Like horn Typhon jessicat

This game mode does not require 12 6*

But I don't want to "farm" it either way, just try out for fun

[civic linden]

Oh

[tardy vigil]

I need to farm main stages first

[civic linden]

Thats fine then

Oooh

Wait

You know what you could do

The special missions in IS

They give rare materials

[versed compass]

that exist in every IS

[tardy vigil]

Raise stainless?

[tardy vigil]

Huh? How do I do them?

[civic linden]

They give a lot of chips and tier 5/4 mats

In any of the ISs there are 2 more tabs below

The middle one gives you a specific op/team for lore

And the last one is like new rules stuff

[tardy vigil]

Monthly teams and deep investigation?

[civic linden]

Yeah yeah

You need to stop the run to go to them

[tardy vigil]

I need LMD first

[civic linden]

Or end whatever you feel like it

[tardy vigil]

Where is farmable LMD in the game

[civic linden]

I think theu give a bit of LMD, not a lot tho

[tardy vigil]

Besides 10k per 36 sanity

[civic linden]

Hmm

There is a freebie unit that is like god tier in the factory

From dossoles holyday event

[tardy vigil]

It's fine I can upgrade them months later, just gotta farm mats now

[civic linden]

It's a long term investment tho

he's part of one the best trading post teams in the game

[tardy vigil]

Oooh

[civic linden]

dossoles holyday is not that hard so it might be worth it to get him for a bit of LMD

[tardy vigil]

Idk seems mid

30% output doesn't look much worse then him

[civic linden]

i mean..to put it in perspective

[tardy vigil]

Since how often does 4 gold order comes

[versed compass]

teq is pretty strong op

in base he is worthless without shamare

but he is solid out side base

[tardy vigil]

I have a lot of strong operators to raise

[civic linden]

if your TPs makes 12 trades a day, and 4 of them were 4 gold trades
tequilla gives you 2000LMD for free and technically saves 4 gold bars

and thats a low roll

[civic linden]

thats where the rest of the teams comes

[tardy vigil]

I see

[tardy vigil]

But this team would have no extra efficiency

So they would make less then 12 orders a day

[civic linden]

read shamare's e2 skill

free 90%

[tardy vigil]

Ooh

Interesting

[civic linden]

tequilla is pretty good in battle too

but is kinda tricky to use, he is one of those "do nothing until skill activates" units

but he can hit for like 3k damage easily

[tardy vigil]

Imagine 3k being an impressive number

Must be not 2024

[civic linden]

it is in a 12dp tanky unit with fast attack speed

[tardy vigil]

[quaint arch]

Raise Proviso for Base Skill & nothing else

^ This is a terrible advice don't follow

[versed compass]

proviso is like the only e2 for base worth looking at actually

[quaint arch]

Arknite on Maintenance rn

What to do?

Scrapbooking?

This is what i get from "Returning"

[quaint arch]

@wanton stratus

[tardy vigil]

Seems ok

Will there be an event today?

[quaint arch]

6 Hours from now

New Main Chapter, which unfortunately you won't able to experience it

[hot rampart]

i specifically mean the foldartal with the 4/5 stars guarantee

[versed compass]

dont think rage make a huge difference for newer players

and IS4 is more mechanic intensive i think

[hot rampart]

its somethinh extra it helps

[versed compass]

tho first boss is way easier then lucian

[tardy vigil]

All 6 hours gonna be maintenance?

[quaint arch]

Yep

[hot rampart]

uh oh i forgor

theres maintenance

[quaint arch]

[tardy vigil]

Wtf

[versed compass]

3 digit sanity?

[hot rampart]

btw u binded ur acc right

[tardy vigil]

That's sv levels of maintenance

!maintenance

[quaint arch]

@tardy vigil

[tardy vigil]

Yes I did

[versed compass]

is not 6 hour maint pretty normal

[hot rampart]

actually i login like 6 hours ago and empty my sanity

should like cap when maintenance is over

totally calculated

[quaint arch]

Kalm

[tardy vigil]

I play on pc and phone

How could I not

[hot rampart]

just being careful

[quaint arch]

PC
Bluestacks/etc.?

[tardy vigil]

Yee

[hot rampart]

i burned like 2 sanity box

yesterday

[tardy vigil]

Ono

Imagine burning with monthly

2 box + 7 bottles

[hot rampart]

i did that like

[quaint arch]

Guys,
How come Launch Operators only need 2 less Blue Skill Books to do single full mastery?

[hot rampart]

3 times in 4 years of playing

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

chat is this real

[quaint arch]

I just realized something

Is someone making it up or what?

This is Krooster

[hot rampart]

they look same amount to me

[quaint arch]

Wut?

[tardy vigil]

?

[hot rampart]

ah i see it now

[tardy vigil]

I don't

[hot rampart]

man inflation really hit hard

its the blue book thing
lvl 1 for new op is 2 extra over older operators

[tardy vigil]

Ok and?

[hot rampart]

and even suzuran eats 8 books so it has been that long

[tardy vigil]

They give more

[hot rampart]

just curious i guess

its like

30 sanity worth of books

[versed compass]

will some new e2s use less CEU then older e2s

so we get some discounts

[hot rampart]

what the hell is CEU

[versed compass]

this but tier 5

some ops ask for 3 pieces for their e2 unlike others

like shu

[hallow garnet]

is it just me

or fia module is a bait

like sure she caps the drain at 50%

but you still wanna be above 80 anyway for double vigor

so she will still need a medic

so this doesnt change anything

[tardy vigil]

If you use medic it's a bait

If you want an option to skip the medic it's a must

[hallow garnet]

i wonder if skalter can keep up

[hot rampart]

98% of modules doesnt change anything aside from increasing operator performance by 5%

[hallow garnet]

true

thats why i dont do sss

cuz i barely do modules

:d

anyway

time to cry for hoederer

first male im gonna skip on purpose

[hot rampart]

think its cappin at 50% and have her still gets vigor is good enough

[tardy vigil]

Sounds like a scam

[hallow garnet]

it's not really a scam

sometimes all you need is a few %

but there are some modules that are just huge

in terms of making a unit better

[hot rampart]

its introduced when arknights is like 2-3 years in already

just something extra to grind for
ya know gacha and making people endlessly grinding shit

i take this over genshin artifact rng

[tardy vigil]

so an easy skip and pointless resourse sink

[tardy vigil]

oh definitely

I like re99 and ak system of fixed big mats every day of genshin relic farm

[hot rampart]

its pretty sad when the one with bad system prints shitton of money so "competitors" will try to copy said system and add it to their own gacha

weapon banners moment

[quaint arch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPxSwxvthRA&pp=ygUMQm94MiBHZW5zaGl0

Not really related but

What?

Why YouTube Layout changed?

[hot rampart]

change for the sake of

change

no changes = stagnation

[quaint arch]

Stagnation
Like Fleausse?

Remember SV Story?

I'm sure you don't

[hot rampart]

it ended when arisa met the elf girl that got kidnapped at the start

[quaint arch]

Dang, even forget the name

[nocturne quarry]

Losaria

Since we in AK, just remember it as "Low Saria"

[quaint arch]

INNOVATION

[versed compass]

i do tons of modules and i barely do SSS

shit give us the wrong mats

[wanton stratus]

Oh my goodness gracious

[hallow garnet]

looking at the ambience synesthesia skins

i cry every year

do they not like money?

why not make all these skins real

[tardy vigil]

Maybe Chinese audience have different taste

Happens with many games

[willow nymph]

they hate money

no cn complains too

[mossy tinsel]

New EN voicelines?!

[hot rampart]

he is living in the future

[versed compass]

the only skins set i hate to hear news about

simply cause i know there gonna be more good jailed skins

[hallow garnet]

when is maint over again?

now or 1 hr?

i never know

[versed compass]

1 more hr

[hallow garnet]

stupid time changes

kay

[versed compass]

its 6 hours after reset

[hot rampart]

jessie please

[ebon sphinx]

kek

for me, not rolling alas

for outinslava, its recommended to save rolls for the banner release after this one since Degenbrecher is considered a top tier guard

[hot rampart]

ok next 10 pull

[versed compass]

am only doing a 5* pity here

[hot rampart]

dmg report : 60 pulls for new jessie and hoederer

and surprise surprise

only 1 vendela

[versed compass]

sound normal in term of vendelas

[ebon sphinx]

isnt it hilarious that the battle hardened tough as nails Sarkaz merc is also a huge vtuber simp

[hot rampart]

thank god

[versed compass]

is it actually confirmed that (one eyed spy) is heo?

[hot rampart]

who else is one eyed

[versed compass]

maybe its not an op

[ebon sphinx]

i dont think they confirm it but there arent anybody else whos missing an eye

[versed compass]

maybe its a kevin who lost an eye

[ebon sphinx]

in dork moments, it seems Red actually stuffs her fur into Ascalon's pockets without her noticing

[hot rampart]

hmm technically speaking i spent 70 pulls for this
cuz i spent 10 pull on jessie banner

[hot rampart]

her fur
sure hope it hers

[hallow garnet]

alr so fia is m6?

or just s2m3?

[versed compass]

i get a fucking santalla

[hallow garnet]

gonna raise her cuz of the skin

iirc shes fine for IS with s2

[versed compass]

you have higher chance of using s3 for stuff like anni

[ebon sphinx]

for AFKs, its S3 yes

[hallow garnet]

does it need mastery

im not sure if im gonna use her for afk

shes a quirk pick

dont think shes ever optimal so when i use her i probably use her for the manual

[versed compass]

[hallow garnet]

noooo

im so bored of that shit

do u guys use fia anywhere?

she looks cool but idk abt her at all

[versed compass]

wait why the hell my ops are on en vas

i dont even have them downloaded so its mute

[versed compass]

i dont have her

so cant say where i use her

♿

[ebon sphinx]

we have Scottish Bagpipe now

[tough matrix]

man

the game just hates me

[hallow garnet]

does anybody own fia and plays her?

hit me up

[mossy tinsel]

Wait. I have to reach 12-21 just to play the new event?

[ebon sphinx]

its not a new event, its new story...

[hot rampart]

im gonna be honest with u

she deals good dmg but both s2 and s3 is so awkward to use

[hallow garnet]

which one needs mastery more

im willing to do one

if needed

module i dont think so

th probably her new module is better

but it's lv3 or bust

[hot rampart]

new module is better and 10%damage increase on blocked enemies thats multiplicative with her numbers

its the good base 1 module

hmm maybe

s3?

s2 is more awkward to use than s3

[hallow garnet]

looking at it s3 barely worth

to master

it's an infinite skill anyway so the sp reduce is not that biggie

[hot rampart]

its like trying to do ifrit lane without the same amount of goodness and people rarely use ifrit

for s2

[hallow garnet]

sigh

[hot rampart]

s3 has huge big aoe

[hallow garnet]

s2 seems like an IS skill

with the spinach shit

[hot rampart]

spinach?

yeah u could say so

pretty poggers on the ed1 boss

even without spinach

[hallow garnet]

dunno i never cared for her before

just saw the skin

bought it on a whim

and now i have to play her

to justify

[hot rampart]

hmm maybe u can get away with
