Arknights

[willow nymph]

for example matoi can duel most casters in the game thanks to her massive 6k hp

[hot rampart]

anybody with high hp and a good healer

u can get a free good healer in one of the sidestory

lumen

[willow nymph]

he's got sus

[hot rampart]

yeah but thats not afk good

[willow nymph]

afk comes later

[hot rampart]

[willow nymph]

for now he's got goat hps

[tardy vigil]

I need units here and now to push the story, not in 5 months when I pull this 5* healer defender smh

because of story event

in 5 months I will have easy time beating basic content regardless of investing into 4* early

[willow nymph]

Yeah and gummy isn't such a good investment

like very soon there's bassline that's much better

[quaint arch]

Ahh yes, I'm excited for another Defender Nearl

But this time, with innate RES

[willow nymph]

no it's the nearl that's got +12/16 res

which is a lot

and his s2 is like super good at arts tanking

and lasts so fucking long

ooga

s1 is just nearl's

and yeah he's coming literally next event after tutu

so in like 3 weeks

[tardy vigil]

who?

[quaint arch]

Upcoming Guardian Defender

[tardy vigil]

unless this unit is in virtuoso banner

I'm skipping

[quaint arch]

Literally in it

[willow nymph]

it's a free welfare op

[quaint arch]

Oh wait what?

[willow nymph]

wait bassline is with diamante isn't he

the welfare of tutu is lessing

[quaint arch]

REEEE

Misleaded

[willow nymph]

diamante (banner 5*), bassline (welfare), degen (banner 6*)

[tardy vigil]

sounds like a skip button just dropped

[tardy vigil]

given for free?

in just 2 banners?

[quaint arch]

Diamante is Red Certs Shop

[willow nymph]

yep

[quaint arch]

[tardy vigil]

damn guys, idk how you dont understand that I need units to play now not in 2 months because you datamined smth

[hot rampart]

what do u need gummy for i thought u pass mandragora already

[quaint arch]

Chapter 10 Features Cannon

3K Damage

[tardy vigil]

honorary e2

[quaint arch]

[willow nymph]

oh wait my brain is stupid bassline isn't welfare ...

[tardy vigil]

[willow nymph]

why does he have no talent pot

why

[quaint arch]

I told you

[hot rampart]

anyway

bassline

is in tutu banner

not welfare

[willow nymph]

yeah

[tardy vigil]

gummy hate fogged your brainj

[willow nymph]

gummy is fucking trash

that doesn't change

lmao

[hot rampart]

shes not trash

just becuz theres better option

[tardy vigil]

and there isnt any for me

[willow nymph]

gummy s1 suck
gummy s2 suck even more

[quaint arch]

We don't talk "Cooking" Skill here

[willow nymph]

easy to get self sustain made her useful in early ak also because mobs were utterly unable to kill defenders

nowadays self sustain is so fucking common

[quaint arch]

Rule 1 of using Ursus Cook: Don't use S2

[hot rampart]

if u rolling in virtuosa banner u do

[willow nymph]

literally next week

[quaint arch]

Made by me

[hot rampart]

its like coincidence otherwise i would go against bara shitting on gummy

[tardy vigil]

ya know whos trash because doesnt fill any role?

beanstalk

[willow nymph]

best body stall good vanguard

[tardy vigil]

wow 1 block

takes ranged tile

[willow nymph]

wow it's almost as if she had high damage and a skill that gave her more block

[tardy vigil]

she doesnt have high dmg

[willow nymph]

much higher than other 4* vg that aren't bigna

with a tankier body

[tardy vigil]

359 base atk at e1 lvl 60

[quaint arch]

You think Vanguards priorites doing Damage in the first place?

[tardy vigil]

I think beanstalk does nothing decent

including dmg

[willow nymph]

anyway you'd think the self sustain op would be better for low op count

[tardy vigil]

what are those numbers

[willow nymph]

and 150% scale when attacking stuff blocked by crab

[willow nymph]

how many clears use the op

[tardy vigil]

it is "increased to 150%"

[willow nymph]

both are 4* so it's mostly 4* clears

[tardy vigil]

and it is only against unit blocked by the crab

if you put this crab in front of any defender she gonna shoot units who walk past crab

if you put crab behind defender then not much enemies gonna leak and most of the time crab gonna sit afk

[tardy vigil]

also crab himself hits with her base atk

[quaint arch]

I would said so if it's ||Vigil||

[tardy vigil]

so almost no dmg against armored targets

[quaint arch]

[willow nymph]

crab has his own stats

[tardy vigil]

if she at least priorotized units blocked by crabs

but she doesnt

[willow nymph]

and yeah beanstalk doesn't kill armored targets she doesn't have to

[hot rampart]

u can put beanstalk on a low maintenance lane (only weak mobs go there) and she can do fine

and focus the mainlane with all ur dps shebang

[tardy vigil]

until 3 dogs run at same time

and leak past her

[willow nymph]

oh wow

[hot rampart]

use skill

[willow nymph]

use s2

3 dogs blocked

[versed compass]

lumen is not even up is he

[hot rampart]

he already is im sure

idk

[versed compass]

no he is not

[hot rampart]

there was a rerun already

[tardy vigil]

• dont use skill of vanguard and get 0 dp because scared of dog wave
• have 13 dp cost and 44 sp skill cost

[versed compass]

RR is not right after rerun

it take like another year

[hot rampart]

record restoration?

wack

[tardy vigil]

I am yet to see a lane beanstalk can comfortably hold

[willow nymph]

sn doesn't have record restoration

[tardy vigil]

any time I take her shes a hecking burden

[versed compass]

kroos only get added recently in CN iirc

around shu event

[willow nymph]

skill issue

[tardy vigil]

oh btw

nearby tiles blocked

nothing spawned

[quaint arch]

Aight guys, let's just stop this slander

[willow nymph]

that's literally a skill issue

from you

[versed compass]

gummy slander?

i will always slander her

[quaint arch]

C'mon now

[versed compass]

i still dont have a 4* defender raised

conisdering bubble now

[quaint arch]

Not even E1 Lv 60 4* Defenders?

[hot rampart]

bubble is the best especially with the% attack reduction and reflect dmg going on

[versed compass]

not even e1 2

i think i have 1 at e1 1

dont know why tho

[quaint arch]

Base Skill

[willow nymph]

early base slave fsr

I only have e2 bubble because i raised every sargon op

[quaint arch]

Including Manticore then

Cuz origins

[willow nymph]

yep

[versed compass]

whats durnar base skill even

[quaint arch]

Anyone here a Base Gaming?

[quaint arch]

Control Center?

I forgot

[hot rampart]

trainer and smily cc

iirc

[versed compass]

why the fuck would past me raise CC op

[quaint arch]

MLYNAR BASE SKILL

[hot rampart]

durnar was pretty promising tbf

aoe 3 block arts dmg for a 4*??? crazeeey

[quaint arch]

How bout AoE 3 block Arts Damage for a 5*?

[hot rampart]

forgot her name

[quaint arch]

(Shalem Skill 1)

[hot rampart]

right u mean shalem

[quaint arch]

Her

[hot rampart]

ok i remember

asbestos

both are 5* and doesnt do anything remarkable so spending resources for em feel icky

durnar does the job for a 4* despite lacking range unlike the 5 stars

[versed compass]

theres 3 5* arts defender btw

[quaint arch]

I'm sure you forgot about Czerny

Kamaroller

[hot rampart]

dont count liskarm

oug

haha

[versed compass]

we are not counting lisk

[hot rampart]

MEISTERWORK

[versed compass]

anyway arts defender is most forgotten archtype

[hot rampart]

holy hell we have

[versed compass]

its as old as dust

no 6*

no module

[hot rampart]

3x arts defender

they are not bad

they are not that amazing either

mid and forgotten

[willow nymph]

i dislike durnar for the reason she absolutely needs a healer to do anything because her def is so trash

[quaint arch]

YES SIRE

[willow nymph]

she's literally beanstalk crab tanky

but blocks 3

[versed compass]

arts defender and chain medic are the only old classes without 6*

[willow nymph]

and beanstalk crab get extra def

[hot rampart]

beanstalk crab dont do arts dmg on skill

[quaint arch]

Chain Medic

[hot rampart]

chain medic is old???

[quaint arch]

Paprika

[versed compass]

its old enough

[hot rampart]

nah u are cappin

[versed compass]

paprika have been a while in EN

[quaint arch]

6 Months old that is

[hot rampart]

durnar is like 2 years older than

than chain medic old

[willow nymph]

yeah that's just to point you need to use a medic on durnar

otherwise she's fine

her output is good

[hot rampart]

she doesnt have self healing she getting shoved a medic

[versed compass]

cant wait for them to remember the archtype and release a 6* art defender that make the enemy need a medic

[quaint arch]

More time to showcase OP Medics

Like Reedic

[willow nymph]

poggers

durnar now deal +20% damage too

totally gonna carry

[versed compass]

more like -100% damage cause reedic gonna remove the enemy

[hot rampart]

i remember the charge blade cope for mh collab as arts defender

would hv been pretty cool

[versed compass]

am still kinda salty

no crusher mh op

[hot rampart]

no mh skin either

[versed compass]

tbf the ops are like skins

[hot rampart]

mh collab 2.0 will fix that fr

[quaint arch]

Hey now, we have Hedley for Crusher.
It's better than Nothing

[willow nymph]

where's the Rajang x Hung

[quaint arch]

[willow nymph]

[hot rampart]

degenbrecher x rajang

[versed compass]

with R6 v2 am coping mh v2 now

[tardy vigil]

idk where you pulled those numbers from, but they dont prove anything

as those operators have really close numbers

[willow nymph]

arkrec.com aka the platform where basically every ak clear is archived and tagged

[willow nymph]

manke

[versed compass]

is this purely happening

cause of the horns?

[willow nymph]

yes

[hot rampart]

yeah lol

[willow nymph]

also hair color

[quaint arch]

Not accurate
Black Knight ain't Brute Wyvern Race

It's Caprinae

[hot rampart]

and physically strong

[versed compass]

degen gym skin incoming trust

[hot rampart]

on top of just small semblance of unrelated stuff
i kinda wish theres toji edits of degenbreacher
peak of human strength without a single whiff of CE /arts

[quaint arch]

I'll skip Black Knight Trust

[versed compass]

speaking of skins

looking at those AS skins

just make me salty

[quaint arch]

SA Skins

[versed compass]

swire is liek cute but the other 2 seems too meh

[willow nymph]

The hool anims are goated

but like why did they pick her lmao

[hot rampart]

? why pick her
u guys are shitting me

theres not much to pick from the line up anyway

swire and hool still the best to pick

and SA fucking sucks

[quaint arch]

Virtuosa?

[versed compass]

SA is biggest offender ya

his skin only big point is cute pet

[hot rampart]

its between

rex, jessie, hool, swire

[versed compass]

i really love the style of those 3

[hot rampart]

cuz they dont have skins

ines and virtuosa is a different case

[versed compass]

amiya jailed skin is better then her 4 skins combined

[hot rampart]

they keeping something special for ines and virtuosa

[versed compass]

tho can we have that fucking space skins fr

[willow nymph]

Amiya planter is awesome

too bad it's literally

[hot rampart]

amiya space fucking where

[willow nymph]

unavailable in en

gimme planter

[hot rampart]

we shoulda get amiya space like 2 events ago

what the fak

[versed compass]

i heard some problems happened with the collab

so its not gonna happen

or some shit

[willow nymph]

also amiya should have skins for her alt forms too

[versed compass]

space skin is guard amiya skin

[versed compass]

kfc?

[ebon sphinx]

yes

[versed compass]

was one of the skins free in CN?

or were all just kfc buying stuff

[wanton stratus]

Ah, a perfect excuse to visit kfc

Over 6 months between Mod-X lv3 and S2M3 lol

[hot rampart]

she makes me thirsty

[wanton stratus]

Relatable

[tough matrix]

any fia connoisseur here?
I want to ask, which module is the best for s3 afk?

[quaint arch]

Do you Heal Fia all times?

Or do you just want to leave Fia be?

[wanton stratus]

Should be Mod-X for S3 and Mod-Y for S2 spam

Especially if one doesn’t babysit Fia with a healer

[tough matrix]

activate s3 and

My waifu is finally here

[quaint arch]

Who? Virtuosa?

[wanton stratus]

Image of a man thirsting to death in a desert choosing to follow a sign pointing towards mentally deranged p###y a certain distance away, over a sign pointing towards an oasis less than a certain distance away

[tough matrix]

researchers said that mentally deranged women are more attractive

which is true, btw

[wanton stratus]

Probably researchers from Rhine Labs

[tough matrix]

the said researcher is me

[wanton stratus]

[tough matrix]

[hot rampart]

just go mod x

dont bother with y

[wanton stratus]

I wonder if the mod Y base effect triggers on every damage instance of S2

[hot rampart]

it should be

[wanton stratus]

@quaint arch I forgot to ask, but how does Eben mod Delta feel to use so far?

[quaint arch]

Tbf, I can't find the spotlight for it cuz I'm "" at most times

But, with Mod ∆, it'll at least make use of the Necrosis Mechanic once

[wanton stratus]

How did you write the delta symbol!?

Ancient Greek keyboard?

[quaint arch]

Idk, the google keyboard allows it

(Mobile)

[wanton stratus]

Wowza

Hope you wake up soon

[quaint arch]

No. I'm about to go sleep

In reality

[wanton stratus]

Oh, okay

Nite

(Fort)

[hot rampart]

friend been doing a15 eben starter and did somewhat fine with said module

he noted on how the necrosis attack debuff component is pretty good at helping ur frontline stay alive

[wanton stratus]

[hot rampart]

and u have the usual eben goodness

[quaint arch]

BAZINGA HIT

[willow nymph]

I mean valarq starter works super well

so i'm not surprised

[versed compass]

i mean

kroos lava spot work

as starter

[willow nymph]

Blergh it leaks on beasts

[versed compass]

normal beasts?

[willow nymph]

yeah if the 4 prespawned are on the same side

or if the big rock guy gets blocked weirdly

[versed compass]

if 4 top kroos can poke them one by one

if 4 left you could place kroos bottom tile and she should only wake few at once

[hot rampart]

this is so ass is2g

[willow nymph]

you don't have enough dps that way

lava sucks

you leak

[quaint arch]

Leaking isn't an option, ain't it?
Perfect Clear or Go Home

/ j

[willow nymph]

floor 1 ?

yeah i'd rather not raise collapse

[quaint arch]

Use Eternal Hunt Squad

[willow nymph]

oh yes and that way you get ... oh right a collapse in for your f1 emergency

[versed compass]

tbf even if you get collapsed f1 on hunt you can recover f2

[hot rampart]

i dont like eternal hunt punish u harder if u leak

[versed compass]

still better then leader squad

[willow nymph]

i think it's a fine balance point

[quaint arch]

Like I said

[versed compass]

anything better then leader squad

[hot rampart]

leader squad isnt a low bar

[versed compass]

IS2 leader was not op

[willow nymph]

but yeah no idt my take on f1 starters being leakless or go home is bad

[versed compass]

why nerfing it to hell

[hot rampart]

so true

[quaint arch]

Is it just me or IS#4 exclusive squad isn't that much highlighting?

(Tbf, IS#3 Mind Over Matter Squad takes over my mindset)

[ebon sphinx]

speaking of KFC collabs, the funny or weird one I know is uh, FFXIV collab with KFC where the intent was that you gather in groups of 4, eat a meal for 4 four times so everyone gets a fat black chocobo mount.

But if you are a loner or dont have friends...well, theres a lot of accounts of people eating all that solo

[willow nymph]

I like rune a lot even if it's bad

[quaint arch]

[versed compass]

life is super fun

tho whats the second effect of it

[quaint arch]

Clairvoyance stuff

[versed compass]

science pretty solid in high D
where index is low so the gained index do a lot

[willow nymph]

yeah you see which runes you'll get from fights

[versed compass]

eternal hunting is consistence but its not highrolly enough

life is cool high rolly one

[quaint arch]

Index is so many more uses than Keys from IS#3

And it's enticing

Max Index = Can see advanced stuff in nodes
No Index = RNG take my wheel

I felt like having at least 1 Index is important

[versed compass]

but you see bosky

you enter bosky

clearly an upgrade

[quaint arch]

That

[quaint arch]

No it's not

[versed compass]

she can slow all enemies at once

orchid cant

earth > orchid

[quaint arch]

Can't damage ene- oh yeah, Reedic surely can handle the DPS, rite?

[willow nymph]

oh wow you recruited 2 operators

[quaint arch]

Besides, that's not the Earthspirit I know

[versed compass]

ngl getting chestnut of temp in as your heart desire actually make me salty

[quaint arch]

This is the Earthspirit I know

This is why Japanizing Beam doesn't always good

[willow nymph]

i mean es look pretty neat

like esp her e2 art

that no one ever remembers

[quaint arch]

No one remembers

Kek

[versed compass]

earth spirit from dota look kinda goofy

espically when he start running at low hp

[hot rampart]

REAL HOLY SHIT

cant wait for es skin

[tardy vigil]

Not the memes in text

[quaint arch]

Poor Man's Memes

Deal with it

[tardy vigil]

SFW at it's finest

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

its the arknights long text syndrome affecting em

despite not being a story reader

[quaint arch]

Ahh yes, Wall of Text

[hot rampart]

its very infectious

[tardy vigil]

I don't want to be honri
I want to be unbanned

[versed compass]

chestnut healing is so bad he doing damage to my ops instead

[hot rampart]

also gives me brain damage with the manual activation with s1

s2 is hot garbage

[versed compass]

wandering medic have ultra shit stats

eyja just have talents that double her hps

[hot rampart]

gotta sell her somehow

[quaint arch]

Imagine Specter the Unchained first release

[willow nymph]

spalter was made with mod in mind

[quaint arch]

Aka. Pre-Mods

[willow nymph]

let's be real

[versed compass]

eyja beating other modded medics

without mod

no way they fuck up eyja module either conisdering both talents are too good

[tribal thicket]

Im getting 2 waifus this banner

Arturia and Spalter

[willow nymph]

problem is if first mod is broken and 2nd is brokenner

i'm only doing the mhp% one prolly anyway

[versed compass]

am probably getting whatever come first

they usually dont release second module for good ops fast

[tired gulch]

I'm getting Arturia no matter what

[hot rampart]

i got suzu last week from top op

im only willing to pull until i get 2x 6* in this banner

i sure hope it wasnt a bad omen

[versed compass]

1~2 6* max from here too

[willow nymph]

I mean she doesn't need one

and +2% max hp is really the only thing that would make her marginally better

the rest is just heal more

and mine outheals everything

[versed compass]

ok p6 user

mine out heal too

[willow nymph]

also ahem

spec caster run
only e2 spec is verdant

???

hello

I literally have the whole spec roster built

but this sorry ass

that i wouldn't pick even if it was free

[versed compass]

he is so bad while not even looking good

at least frostleaf/earth spirit look good

[willow nymph]

even almond is already m3 and leveled

she's cute

s1 has charges and that's cool that's about it

[wanton stratus]

@hot rampart @quaint arch Hey now, last time that image was posted it got removed. The censored word is “PIETY” by the way

[hot rampart]

ouh right

[fluid verge]

piety

huh

[tough matrix]

well, I guess that's it

[fluid verge]

no theres more

lvl 90 gogogog

[tough matrix]

nah, lv90 is only reserved to a character that I really really like

and also, its painful to reach lv90, so I really don't want to do that

I only have 4 characters that is lv90, and all of them are m9

[willow nymph]

I have so many 90s now

[tough matrix]

smh

I'm not an EXP baron

[willow nymph]

am just a fat whel

🐋

[tough matrix]

[hallow garnet]

pog pog welcome to the club. go 90 her

[tough matrix]

nah

maybe later

[tardy vigil]

Why skill books cost so much stam

[versed compass]

welcome to CA

enjoy your stay

events help a fuck ton with skull books need

also convert when you need as higher tier usage is way higher

[tardy vigil]

Nvm I had 150 white books

[versed compass]

ya start converting

[tardy vigil]

I get them from dailies and shit

It looks like in ch10 archetto is finally good

Low def swarms

[versed compass]

pretty solid in ch12 too cause drone

ch13 she is not that horrible for the mechanic which is teh whole chapter i guess

[mossy tinsel]

I pulled Lee, so I had to get his live 2D outfit.

[tardy vigil]

when she gets released

[wanton stratus]

I pulled Lee on his debut banner and he’s still E0lv1. I was aiming for Ling though, so he deserves it

[civic linden]

about a week or so

[hallow garnet]

how long till arturia?

[versed compass]

30th april

[wanton stratus]

The banner is nothing compared to x6

Miners rise up

[tardy vigil]

who is x6

[wanton stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/troll-troll-face-gif-25116980

[wanton stratus]

For real though, it’s a new feature to clear a stage 6 times in a row, which makes for easier farming

[tardy vigil]

6

[wanton stratus]

It still has to run the whole battle 6 times though, so it’s not that much faster

But fewer inputs

[tardy vigil]

it will come 30th of april?

[wanton stratus]

Yes

[tardy vigil]

I lost all hope to see 4x

[tardy vigil]

afknights

[wanton stratus]

Yup

[tardy vigil]

afk dps, afk healer afk tank

then auto deploy them for afk life

[wanton stratus]

Nono

Manual deploy on the first clear to kill the final enemy on the first frame they spawn, then auto

[civic linden]

I wonder why they made it so it needs to clear 2+ separate times instead of just once

Annihilations just straight give the rewards so it's not like they coudn't

[wanton stratus]

My personal guess is that they concluded that players need to spend a certain amount of time in-game each day to continue being invested in the game

If it worked like the annihilation skip tickets we’d be in and out in less than 5 minutes for base rotations and stage “clears” 2 times a day

[civic linden]

makes sense

[versed compass]

tbh i care less about reason

am happy they did anything to ease it

[wanton stratus]

🤝

You and me both

[versed compass]

i usually do other things while autoing so now i can just set on X6 and only come back after 15 mins instead of 3 mins or something

[civic linden]

Same

It going up to x6 is so nice too

[wanton stratus]

Well, it could’ve gone higher

But they fear the power of orundum farmers

[fluid verge]

no way we can auto run arknights now?

[tardy vigil]

Exactly

They see results in the industry and scale back those predatory practices that were the norm years ago

[fluid verge]

how do we unlock the hard mode stages for ch 13

[wanton stratus]

I think they become available in 3h35m

Or else it’s tomorrow

Should I build any of these 6* properly? (Weedy is already M6)

[queen sequoia]

For me
Passenger if you like lightning strike skills.
Fiammetta if you like infinite artillery bombardments

[wanton stratus]

[fluid verge]

big explosion team is great and fia fits that to a T

just put mudrock in the center

and u can pretend u have a manlet cannon

[versed compass]

ya 6* mean good

[wanton stratus]

🤤

[willow nymph]

You sure you didn’t give it to someone else?

[hot rampart]

im sure i sent it to someone named ben3factor with gg pfp

[wanton stratus]

Oh yeah, of course

That one

My bad

But no clue 5 tho

Although it wouldn’t matter since I’m missing clue 3 after my little mistake

[hot rampart]

read arturia event

[wanton stratus]

I see

[quaint arch]

Who Arthuria? All I know is Virtuosa

And Viviana

And EBENSWEEP

[wanton stratus]

[wanton stratus]

Wait a damn minute

Liskarm could be goated against the sanguinarch

[hot rampart]

true dmg helps killing him without the devices

amiya s3 lore accurate moment

[tardy vigil]

Does the amount of units I can miss in IS depend on the amount of HP I have?

I just had a stage with 14 hp

(won on 1, aka hecking lost mid battle and barely held off random groups)

[hot rampart]

units?

enemies?

[tardy vigil]

Enemies

[hot rampart]

yeah

[tardy vigil]

Oh, then HP is a really strong resource

[hot rampart]

u can leak and still go to next stage as long u still have some HP remaining

[tardy vigil]

I essentially half-skipped the stage

13/36 leaked

[hot rampart]

altho is4 (and is3) punishes u for leaking tho

[tidal hawk]

It's the black queen from the twin empress

[hot rampart]

is2 leader squad leaking is actually a good strat cuz u dont get punished for leaking and squad skill gives u extra 4 temporary hp every stage (leader squad got nerfed in is4)

[ebon sphinx]

they had a gimmick run where they gave you a lot of HP and damage/stun on leaking

you had nobody to start with

[wanton stratus]

That was Leithanien’s rulers, right?

[tidal hawk]

They're still rulers, yes

The event is on Laethanian grounds after all

[tardy vigil]

Can someone explain what those red foxes do? They go in circle and then attack - should I point my Typhon on their circle or onto my choke point?

Are they ranged?

[ebon sphinx]

the ones dancing in a circle? they dance for a while and then march to your point

so yes, point Typhon there

the boss will appear there too

[quaint arch]

Yes

Kill em fast

[ebon sphinx]

also Archetto is very good vs them

[bleak mirage]

True

[ebon sphinx]

regardless of skill

[tardy vigil]

No sniper vouchers

Guess I should've brought horn

Why no one told me they are ranged

[ebon sphinx]

you didnt encounter them at all on your way to boss?

oof

also yeah Horn is good there too

that stage is a good ranged op check and heli drop check

[hot rampart]

im surprised u reach this far

|| ouh and the boss also have like 50% physical&arts dodge if not blocked ||

|| also will dash once like crownslayer when getting initially blocked ||

[tardy vigil]

5 more units to kill

[hot rampart]

its joever

[tardy vigil]

If my Typhon didn't die when I put her to close to foxes, so I had to redeploy a minute later - would been a gg

Next time I will come with more HP

[hot rampart]

if u have archetto next time let her handle the dancers and typhon facing up instead that covers the boss pathing

[tardy vigil]

Also it was easy difficulty so most likely I am not coming to boss any time soon

[versed compass]

lucian (phantom) is much tougher then other ed1 bosses

[tough matrix]

after procrastinating it for a long time

[willow nymph]

wait why doesn't almond s1 get large force

lmao what kinda trash

[quaint arch]

You're checking Almond Skillsets?

[willow nymph]

no i was considering m6

but her s1 is dogshit for no reason

like wow it holds charges ... and can't get force 2

[quaint arch]

Just... use Cliffheart instead

[willow nymph]

My cliff is built like every spec

anyway that's not the point

why do they have to gimp her on that

when s1 cliff is literally worthless compared to s2 if you bother clicking buttons

and that gladiia s1 has CHARGES and FORCE 2

[quaint arch]

The Reverse Powercreep

[versed compass]

cause that will make her s1 like gladiia s1
cant have that

[willow nymph]

that class has copy paste everywhere

[wanton stratus]

Pog pog

Ch13 done

[fluid verge]

anyone else raised jojocat?

[tardy vigil]

damn badass

[bleak mirage]

Not yet

Hoederer comes first

[tardy vigil]

ok chapter 10 is funny

especially as I have no aoe besides awkward horn

[hot rampart]

horn s2 can aoe melee

but uhh ch 10 issue is more towards the cannon instagibbing anybody below 3k hp

i suggest u borrow mudrock and then only make auto(struggle) for stage u need to farm

[tardy vigil]

good thing I have 2 healer defenders who are willing to get fried for the cause

[tardy vigil]

it sucks ass with poor uptime

horn is mostly a ranged unit

[hot rampart]

the tentacle little shits has like 80%+ arts&physical dmg reduction but very low hp

[tardy vigil]

well yea, what am I supposed to do about them

just tank until artillery hits

or give horn a minute to tear them from range, if map allows (it usually dont)

[hot rampart]

yeah just cannon

ur typhon should also be out of cannon range

[tardy vigil]

Typhon is not great

Again, due to low armor high HP million enemies awkward range

Archetto would be good but she's just not enough

I low-key need those e2, but 500k LMD

[hot rampart]

cannon aoe is all u need

[tardy vigil]

Best investment so far is mousse

[tardy vigil]

There are several direction for tentacle shits to come

Plus one unit can only hold +6

Well, 8-9 units

[hot rampart]

time to bring lava

[tardy vigil]

I tried

Garbage

Low atk, low aspd

Ok mid atk, giant attack interval

What if cutter

Almost aoe, many phys hits

[hot rampart]

cutter s2

[tardy vigil]

Instead of hecking stainless

90% dmg resistance

10 arts res 100 armor

wait, is this shit silencable?

[hot rampart]

no clue actually

probably not?

[tardy vigil]

it makes no sense if not

[hot rampart]

haha....

[tardy vigil]

apparently there is an X near trait ingame if its silencable

and those leeches arent ofc

but necrosis machine is

[strong rampart]

Just use true damage

[hot rampart]

theres no aoe true damage

except mlynar (small% of his attack)

upcoming arturia is actually pseudo aoe true damage ( currently no enemies in the game has elemental resistance)

[strong rampart]

There is

The cannon

And Mon3tr when he dies

Mon3tr death explosion is enough true dmg to kill all the slugs he was blocking iirc

[tardy vigil]

its not even that I cant deal with each problem stages call

they are just too chaotic and unlike previous "defenders with healers hold choke while dps clear"

[civic linden]

you really shoudn't try rushing the story like that

later chapter can be really demanding, especially chapter 10

[tardy vigil]

cutter works

[tardy vigil]

wdym

there is a story event

Look at this

If not for this event I would be playing is2 and farming 💊 or 🪨

[hot rampart]

are u also playing on easy mode?

[tardy vigil]

Wdym

[hot rampart]

if u wanna rush ch 13 i recommend u rush with easy mode on chapter 10 onwards

[tardy vigil]

I play standard difficulty story

Milestone rewards for completion on standard and adverse difficulties

[hot rampart]

hmmm

i forgot if easy mode consumes 0 sanity?

[tardy vigil]

Yes

I thought it's no battles

You can't practice, so surely no battles

And it isn't easy, it's story mode

[hot rampart]

i just think it be faster on easy mode since even if u do normal

in the future u will be doing it again on adverse (challenge) mode

[tardy vigil]

Oh, it does have battles

[tardy vigil]

But I need to do all on standard anyway

Like

I need mats and I need rewards

[hot rampart]

fair

[tardy vigil]

Story mode is for people reading the story

It ain't giving shit

[hot rampart]

it helps when u need new mats to farm and they are locked behind ch 10/12

[tardy vigil]

Oooh

[wanton stratus]

The peak arknights experience of hating having to interact with event mechanics

I cheesed the reborn creations with Chongyue since he has a ridiculous DPH which actually goes through their dmg reduction

And tanked the cannon with Mudrock and Mon3tr ofc

[quaint arch]

That's not how Damage Reduction (in Chapter 10) works, but ok

[tardy vigil]

Cutters also has big dps

She's been of great help

[tardy vigil]

Just 15k HP per slug

[hot rampart]

executor also

the reaper one

chong is more towards the AOE and high dph

[civic linden]

yeah but if it starts becoming more frustrating than anything you could just skip the event

the rewards are great but it is mostly just mats

which you can "regain" by just regularly farming during the event

[wanton stratus]

No, I meant that he does significant damage despite the reduction, bad wording on my end

[quaint arch]

Hmmm.....

[wanton stratus]

I used him during ch13 too

He’s still my little pogchamp

[quaint arch]

Oh no....

[quaint arch]

[tardy vigil]

It looks majestic

[quaint arch]

"You're about to have a bad time"

[civic linden]

I did say mostly

[tardy vigil]

yea, unfortunately this is a limited reward

I wouldnt mind skipping mats

[sharp tartan]

Is it limited?

Because i havent even done chapter 12

[tardy vigil]

it is a reward in the limited event

Unlcok Conditions - Limited - Time Tactical Support Reward (0/1)

[sharp tartan]

Huh ok

Guess ill speedrun my story then

[tardy vigil]

I am surprised it is "second" theme over 5 years of game life or whatever

[hot rampart]

yep thats one limited good luck

[hot rampart]

this is actually pretty new yeah

they even start putting one behind paywall

[tardy vigil]

it makes sense to sell cosmetics

I dont see any in shop rn tho

[quaint arch]

♿

[strong rampart]

Tempted to reinstall for ch13

But I’m out of space on my phone

💀

[quaint arch]

Too bad

Can't miss out on Dailies of HoyoVerse

[strong rampart]

Honestly I could probably uninstall those, I have them on my pc

And they’re massive games

Idk how Hoyo manages to consume so much storage

[willow nymph]

They're like 40 gigs

[strong rampart]

My phone is 128gb

Not big enuf

[hot rampart]

128gb in 2024

[tardy vigil]

just skip

[tardy vigil]

3d models and textures and shit

[hot rampart]

comfy

[tardy vigil]

beautiful rpg weights like a beautiful rpg, unlike cardboard sprites of AK

or re99

[hot rampart]

AK 3d models only comes from the map design

[tardy vigil]

AK maps probably take the most storage

but they still demand less then hsr breakable and tossable cardboxes or smth

I mean, it is bunch of identical tiles

everything in AK is simple af in terms of graphics complexity

[hot rampart]

u be surprised by what u see outside of the tiles with the background buildings that is cropped out cuz it wont fit in the usual phone resolution

[willow nymph]

I still don't know why manti s2 spikes fall in the void on rooftops

it's so stupid

[tardy vigil]

I remember seeing lol map but from far away. I didnt like what I saw

how this shit curves around and goes into nothing

[hot rampart]

its something u wont seeing or notice and maybe its some optimization thing

instantly deleting something off the map takes computation power and theres something else more important to focus that resources on

[versed compass]

at least anyone who missed ch13 one can get this one for free later

[wanton stratus]

Can’t relate

I’ve got like 32 gig

[hot rampart]

in this economy!!!???

[wanton stratus]

It was even less…

[hot rampart]

what the fuck

u cappin bro

thats like

decade ago average phone

no way u playing shit on this phone

[wanton stratus]

Mine’s around 7 years old I believe

I don’t lol

I used to play AK and SV on it but performance was shit

Instead I play AK on a 6 year old iPad with 32 gig storage

[hot rampart]

yeah that totally makes sense..

[wanton stratus]

I know, right?

I’m such a skibidi gamer

[tardy vigil]

and I have work on saturday so even less time to push ch13

[fluid verge]

h13-4 is cancer

[bleak mirage]

Yes

[fluid verge]

holy crap finally that was a slog

[versed compass]

IS4 one is perma and kinda look better

[fluid verge]

timing those bombs so i can activate the kill field on that vampire pos

[tardy vigil]

[wanton stratus]

Projekt red putting fur in Ascalon’s pocket was real? Why she do that tho

[ebon sphinx]

Ascalon is Red's boss

who also trains her

[wanton stratus]

Oh

Right

S.W.E.E.P

[hot rampart]

SWEEP rite of passage

[wanton stratus]

So Ascalon is also a FURry…?

[devout zenith]

https://vxtwitter.com/NoContextArkn/status/1783502402714501542?t=fTSi1Se18KhvzUQwVvst0Q&s=19

[tardy vigil]

Maybe I e2 silence? All guides now demand an aoe healer and I don't have any

[ebon sphinx]

uh, i thought you had perfumer

[tardy vigil]

No

Fuck that 13-11

If you guys struggle at 13-4 and I struggle at 10-11

[civic linden]

H13-4 is different from 13-4

H13-4 is hard mode boss stage, 13-4 just normal stage

[tardy vigil]

Oh ok

Still it seems starting from ch10 there are no normal level clears with truly budget team

Vids are all about higher difficulty with at least somewhat built roster

e.g. e2 aoe healer

Yea it's just bs

Typhon is critically bad against high HP since her second talent does nothing and first does barely anything

[quaint arch]

Not having Modules?

[civic linden]

I woudn't say typhoon is bad it's just that in chapter 10 almost everything has really high damage reduction, maybe thats why she feels underwhelming

Chapter 10 strats is mostly stalling rather than raw damage

[tardy vigil]

Dmg reduction is just 10x HP

So everything has lots of HP

First typhoon passive is made to ignore armor, second is made to oneshot weak mobs. Both do jack shit against numerous massive HP pools with low armor

[tardy vigil]

You are right, I under-invested in my defenses as people advise to build damage first

[civic linden]

Correct, but If you view it like that then every DPS will struggle with 10x hp, we had something like that once and even the best of the best DPSs struggled, it's not just a typhon ptoblem

[tardy vigil]

its a lot of mobs, so water chen wins easily

any aoe really - horn archetto, some limited 6* with crazy aoe's that I never heard of

also typhon raw dmg numbers arent that great and most of her power is sealed in passives (and s3)

[willow nymph]

They are that great

But locked behind e2 and mod

[wanton stratus]

Dusk and W mentioned

[versed compass]

not the loli song

anyway i found the true final boss

[wanton stratus]

Hope everyone remembered to buy out the red cert shop

[hallow garnet]

oo

why

the units will be gone?

or we get new 6* tokens finally,

?

i bought those out long ago

[fluid verge]

me with 5.5k red cert tickets ready to clear shop day 1

[spark oasis]

I bought the Defender tokens in preparation for Shu.
I don't really care about the Caster tokens.

[civic linden]

Ugh just found out lessing and bassline need the new mats...time to speedrun chapter 13 i guess

[ebon sphinx]

https://vxtwitter.com/KazuLovesW/status/1783861899786141930?t=HuGnBKOu97uEgbhiWer9Cg&s=19

funny that it turns out she's not as unhinged as people think normally

except when it's during work or about mafia issues

[tardy vigil]

Loli requiem

[wanton stratus]

Royal defender and caster tokens will refresh and 2 new ops will be added to the shop

[tardy vigil]

should I grind for tokens in red cert shop?

[wanton stratus]

I did, but potentials aren’t that important

You should buy out the module blocks every month though

[hot rampart]

9 hours 2 minutes

[quaint arch]

I didn't

[wanton stratus]

Until what?

[hot rampart]

cn stream

[wanton stratus]

Oho

[quaint arch]

Kamaroll, what's your new pic?

Where's Potato Bomb?

[hot rampart]

not really

they are very expensive

[wanton stratus]

Yeah, ‘cause you were AFK for like 3 months

[quaint arch]

Nu uh

2 Months

[hot rampart]

a character from a peak manga i finish binged 8 hours ago

now i suffer week release for new chapters

[tardy vigil]

I have a bunch of stam stored

a whole week + event

[hot rampart]

i wouldnt recommend u to do so

they are pointless

use it to buy the units once at least

[wanton stratus]

How rude

If it wasn’t for the royal tokens my Siege would only be pot 1

[hot rampart]

ethan is goated btw

very reliable crowd control binds

[quaint arch]

Imagine Sieging

Not sorry

[wanton stratus]

Yeah ikr

[hot rampart]

skill issue
i got pot 7 siege just from top op

[wanton stratus]

I was even told to save the tokens for Bag

[hot rampart]

brain damage

[wanton stratus]

True

That, and spending specialist tokens on Phantom made me not use them ever again

[tardy vigil]

units need LMD, pots dont

[wanton stratus]

Although that was one and a half years before Sexas was announced

[tardy vigil]

I am piss poor on virtual dollars

[hot rampart]

ur line of thinking giving me aneurysm ngl

[quaint arch]

Everything changed when the Neo Specialists attack
