Say true damage

stop repeating mtl

:lo:

[quaint arch]

||S1 increases Atk by +100%||
||S3 increases Atk by +300%||

[quaint arch]

Oh, I'm sorry

Ok, I fixed it

[willow nymph]

anyway it's still lower buff values than skalter s3 so i'm fine with it

not to mention skalter is still winning cos deployable

[quaint arch]

Range Extension

[willow nymph]

Can't wait for CE to not reach the other half of the map

:lo:

[willow nymph]

Talent 2 : ||-20% res +150 arts damage taken||

[quaint arch]

I barely use the Range Extender kek

[willow nymph]

missing out

[quaint arch]

Wasn't that supposed to be the 2nd Talent?

[willow nymph]

Anyway guess how many ops are needed to clear H13-4

[quaint arch]

[quaint arch]

3?

[willow nymph]

No 2

Exalt Ling

[quaint arch]

Dang. Just barely

[willow nymph]

Mad clear

[quaint arch]

RNG intensive?

[willow nymph]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1EQ4y1W7wW/

very much so

Early on Exalt need to basically proc double hit every time

later on it's not as rng

it's just very clever and well planned damage opti

[quaint arch]

Just a reference, these lil mob have 1,500 HP

[quaint arch]

Who's the biggest carry tho?

Still Bing ChilLing?

[willow nymph]

I mean both are absolutely not swappable outfor anyone else

No biggest carry it's tight as heck

[quaint arch]

[wanton stratus]

Thanks, I hate it already

[willow nymph]

Exalt is the only op able to
Kill blood amber Open do the damage of the map and kill sanguinarch
Ling throws bodies and do the payload moving and covers amber respawns where exalt isn't there

also kills the defenders and baits boss

[tardy vigil]

But it has 15k HP against everything that's not true damage

[quaint arch]

Too bad

[tardy vigil]

Who does true damage?

[quaint arch]

Amiya

S3

[tardy vigil]

Oh

[quaint arch]

But it ain't cut it

It'll come in swarm

[tardy vigil]

Seems like a dog way to use amiya

I guess it would work

[quaint arch]

Just plan the cannon bait

[tardy vigil]

Just kill 15k HP

It ain't that hard in aoe

[willow nymph]

Cliffheart oneshots them

hi bozos

[quaint arch]

||+150 Arts Damage Taken||

Flat Damage?

[willow nymph]

yes apparently

[quaint arch]

[tardy vigil]

Is this a unit that stuns herself?

[willow nymph]

no

[quaint arch]

No

That's 5* Specter or Broca

[willow nymph]

she's one of the 2 release units with ture damage

the other being amiya

FOR NO FUCKING REASON TOO

She's just built different

[quaint arch]

TRUE

[tardy vigil]

Wait wtf

[quaint arch]

[tardy vigil]

It's rope girl

[quaint arch]

Not to be confused with Rope, the operator

[willow nymph]

You see on one side you have The Heir to the king of Sarkaz
on the other you have rich girl from the most prominent family in kjerag

[tardy vigil]

2 targets true dmg wtf

[willow nymph]

3 at m3

or m1/2 idr

[quaint arch]

One time instance

[willow nymph]

enough to oneshot slugs

yep cliff is built diff

[willow nymph]

The added ones are
Mon3tr, Skalter, Ntrk, Młynar, Hoederer

[tidal hawk]

Is Theresa the welfare 6*?

[willow nymph]

like yeah
Massive originium beast, The Avatar of a fucking god, THE RADIANT KNIGHT, old man with a past, slightly less old man with a past

[quaint arch]

No. That's Civilight Eterna.
For whatever reason HIPPO chose this as a name for it.

[tidal hawk]

Yeah, is it the 6* welfare?

[quaint arch]

"Haha, the Climbing Hook goes wild"

[willow nymph]

||Because that's what she is lore wise not Theresa ||

[quaint arch]

Most likely

[willow nymph]

It's confirmed

[tidal hawk]

Okay then, so Logos is the banner unit right

[quaint arch]

Yes

Also, any comments on WAlter White?
I can't believe those dreamers get their dreams come true.

[willow nymph]

I want to see breaking bad memes

or i'll be mad

[tidal hawk]

Midriff W, need I say more?

[willow nymph]

Messi memes thanks to soccer are fun tho

[quaint arch]

Not the Co-op...

[willow nymph]

Coop is fun as heck

[quaint arch]

I never played R6 Co-op one

Even when I was there

[tidal hawk]

But in all seriousness, she looks like she will be a fun and more used flinger type...

[quaint arch]

Design Powercreeping Everywhere

[willow nymph]

Also goddamn that's some lopsided repartition
4 guards 1 caster 1 spec 1 medic and soon 2 supporters

actually soon 2 medics

if i include CE in soon

[quaint arch]

Medicmiya

What a silly name

[willow nymph]

Amidic

[quaint arch]

Still 5* btw

[willow nymph]

I'm fine with it

:lo:

[quaint arch]

So S2 still has 1 limit per use

[willow nymph]

Amiya is off chart in terms of 5* strength anyway

any class

[quaint arch]

Let us use S2 in peace

[willow nymph]

When 5 more arcs will finish

amiya will have every class

and ascend as the true goddess of ak

and become a 7* operator

[quaint arch]

I was gonna say:

"And still a 5*? Yeah no

[willow nymph]

nah she won't be a 6* still

[tidal hawk]

She will have 5* with two extra distinct star icon, just like FGO with it's grail Icon

[quaint arch]

IS#5 gonna bring back insta promote of Tactical Squad

Are they gonna bump the difficulty ceiling?

Not the flooring

[willow nymph]

I actually really like random promotes system instead of full insta promote

despite being consistently fucked over by it

Like last is4 run i did on speccaster
I managed to get only promoted verdant out of all specialists

[quaint arch]

Verdant.lul

[quaint arch]

Oh yeah, if this is the case, then there'll be no more -2 Hope for recruiting Ops with Tactical Squad, right?

As to balance it back

[tidal hawk]

Wait, does Logos actually erase enemy using his skills?

Also I just realised, since W new form is just her with full name and doesn't have "The" in it like other alts... That means she still can get another alter lol

[civic linden]

from what i understood only his s1 has an execute, but it doesn't seem to be too big of a treshhold since enemies need to have less hp than a % of his attack

so it's like a 400hp execute or something

take it with some salt since i'm dumb

[versed compass]

wait

is this is the first archtype to have 4 6*

(logos)

ok watched a short cut of the stream

logos stop time s3 is less impressive then i thought

most shots will still hit before skill end

[quaint arch]

You can still get hit

[versed compass]

note : not saying the skill gonna be bad, just not cool

[quaint arch]

IMBA new pojectile that is slow but insta kill op

Did anyone checked what Module Δ did to Logos Talent?

Not Trait

Anything Different?

AK anni 5th stream pic recap

Board game is fun

[hot rampart]

wait u bought the board game?

how much was it

[fluid verge]

Nah friend bought it and invited me over to play

[hot rampart]

oooo

thats nice

[versed compass]

Fang the Fire-Sharpened
5* [Charger] Vanguard
Talent
The first deployment cost and redeployment time is reduced
Upon retreating for the first time, reduce the deployment cost of the next operator

Skill 1
The next attack will hit twice with certain amount of Physical damage and refund more DP upon killing an enemy
Has charges
Skill 2
Increase ATK, DEF and block count. Attack multiple enemies equal to Block Count.

s2 is on deploy i think but unsure (clip seems to be that)

look like a pretty strong charger but weaker then bagpipe who i dont even deploy so thats that

[quaint arch]

First DP Cost reduced
Ahh yes, the homage

[hot rampart]

bagpipe at home feels nice

[versed compass]

she actually do something similar to texas too

since she refund her self deploy + retreat = +dp

Actually, lemme see

[hot rampart]

yeah kyo is italian

[violet vortex]

He has a very clear Italian accent

[ebon sphinx]

the actual Italian angry about food is Vigil in AK but Lappland is more popular

[quaint arch]

Hi there, Grimnir

How's it going?

[ebon sphinx]

If you want to show respect to the Siracusans, then hire a proper Siracusan chef. The next time I see any "innovative Siracusan cuisine" out of your minions... Beh, let's just say somebody knows about your little office naps, and it'd be a shame if the beans got spilled on your beauty sleep. (talk after trust increase 1) he's threatening Doktah D:

[hot rampart]

who?

[quaint arch]

VIGILSWEEP

He's gonna sweep all over that "innovative Siracusan cuisine"

[ebon sphinx]

as i mentioned earlier, its Vigil whos the Italian angry about pineapple on pizza

or fruit pizza

or wrath of siracusans

[tardy vigil]

It is a second big AK content maker that is Italian

[hot rampart]

whos the first

[tardy vigil]

YoungRyo

[hot rampart]

who the fuck

[tardy vigil]

20k views videos

And, most importantly, he popped into my yt feed first therefore must be big

[hot rampart]

yeah basic clickbait thumbnail and title

💀

[tardy vigil]

Yea I don't see how's that relevant to them clearly existing

And being Italian

[hot rampart]

he only has uh

7k subs

[tardy vigil]

Is that small for AK?

[hot rampart]

i mean compared to kyo

its a huge difference

💀

[tardy vigil]

Compared to apple BP is a huge difference. Yet we clearly can't call a company with hundreds of oil drills across the globe "a small company"

[hot rampart]

what is apple BP

[tardy vigil]

Apple makes iphones

BP is "British petroleum"

[hot rampart]

also uh thats a different metric entirely and i was just confused when u said kyo as the "2nd big" when the 1st one u mentioned is only 7k

[tardy vigil]

I meant "second who I encounter"

[hot rampart]

fair lets end it at that then

[tardy vigil]

Not ranking them in size

My point was "too many Italians there"

Is tower defense their national sport or smth

[hot rampart]

i think siracusano being a good sidestory really helps

[tardy vigil]

their community is probably thriving in ak

[hot rampart]

we have our own italian here too

I thought this title belongs to YoungRyo

[wanton stratus]

Why would you think that? Has he been involved in some controversy?

The controversy was having shit opinions (subjective)

[hot rampart]

true! (subjective)

hmm, the VA choice for Theresa feels much sadder when i look at it in hindsight not because of drama, the VA or anything but because the VA's one of the most famous or iconic song is Akatsuki no Kuruma which played during Gundam SEED.

[tardy vigil]

I have seen a complaint I agree with: why the game dont let me preview enemies on the new stage?

[quaint arch]

Use Practice Drill

[tardy vigil]

like I have to pick random shitlers, try to stall half stage and only then start any planning

[hot rampart]

yeah i wish they just straight up

show

in the enemy info

stage

[quaint arch]

They won't

[hot rampart]

instead of needing to go in

fuck it we ball

and fail

[tardy vigil]

I most likely to do practice stage a few times anyway

[quaint arch]

Gotta make players fail the run at least once for going ooga booga

[tardy vigil]

why I need to waste my first attempt

[quaint arch]

[tardy vigil]

there was an event for that recently

for some reason people didnt like getting slapped on

[quaint arch]

They want to give "Surprise" somehow

Lil did they know we are Global Players

And some Global Players can just do Clairvoyance

[tardy vigil]

it is still incomplete information, as I have no clue what are their routs, how waves gonna look like etc

I like aspect of game where I roleplay as tactician, trying to plan deployment of my troops based on the map and then trying to adapt to the situation anyway

but no, I need to do a half ass attempt

[quaint arch]

It's all simulation

[tardy vigil]

when 6/7 enemy units gonna be same as from previous stage anyway

[hot rampart]

maybe a good commander is the one who can do the half ass attempt

just kidding

[tardy vigil]

penal battalions moment

[hot rampart]

that involve having all the 6* operators

just bring broken everything sweep everything first try

[quaint arch]

Wao, BM. This fella didn't have such luxury.

[hot rampart]

i think if u are newbie u most likely gonna die once anyway so u get the information unlocked for the next try

i guess the issue is when some enemies spawn late and u fail earlier

and they didnt get unlocked

i agree that the info needs to be shown without needing for u to try the map first

new events tend to show enemy abilities through their social media posts tho
obviously this is imperfect but its something

cuz it doesnt show their stats

but looking at their model u kinda know what high stats they would have

anybody with any sort of big ass shield or being huge metal hunk is likely to have high def

[hot rampart]

https://vxtwitter.com/alka_lische/status/1784569952122646625

this voice is from actual W en dub dialogue btw

[tardy vigil]

have spent all week pots into red certs

finally some useful grind

Can't wait to get LMD for horn promotion so I can't deploy her anyway in awkward maps

[hot rampart]

s2 is ur friend

[tardy vigil]

pov: you want 2 90cost chips in the shop

and out of pots

[quaint arch]

Dw, tomorrow you get 2 5 more

Waiting shouldn't be hard, right?

[willow nymph]

s2 op op

[tardy vigil]

why? s3 reduces atk interval so must be good

[hot rampart]

this

s2 having aoe even on melee range makes it less awkward

while other skill are only aoe when ranged

thats it

[tardy vigil]

truuuue

but I can also jsut "not deploy horn"

[hot rampart]

otherwise u go s1 for afk
s3 for better manual dps

[hot rampart]

up to u really

i member u said u struggle in ch10 cuz no aoe

[tardy vigil]

ch 10 has ass looking maps for horn

like - I cant deploy her in melee range

outside of skill she would be just a bit worse defender for huge dp

[hot rampart]

yes she isnt a defender

its a lie

she is a ground aoe sniper that deals dmg

just happen to be "tanky" in as in an average melee operator

[tardy vigil]

I meant "when map is bad and she has to go melee for s2 to matter"

[hot rampart]

fair

[tardy vigil]

I believe new necrosis mage gonna be aoe

I've heard it somewhere

if I get her she will be in charge of slugs

[hot rampart]

good luck

[tardy vigil]

wait it isnt aoe

maybe she will need horn...

[ebon sphinx]

cute

[hot rampart]

read her talent

thats the aoe one

her talent

[tardy vigil]

oh
but its slow

[hot rampart]

with her range she gonna die to cannon too cuz that defender is probably full of slugs

[hot rampart]

if u can have someone aoe with high attack

it applies necrosis in an aoe

[tardy vigil]

yea would have to locate her closes to horn and away from typhon

[hot rampart]

i think s1 is better
it will instakill the slugs 1 by 1

so whoever is holding the slug hopefully dont have much slugs to attract the cannon

while theres another cannon bait somewhere else

[tardy vigil]

if she hits slugs

6 sp cost

I believe its only 800 necrosis dmg so not insta kill

[hot rampart]

if its non slugs they die fast to something else instead

yeah its not instakill

[tardy vigil]

it doesnt make sense, I want whoever is holding slugs to attract canon

[hot rampart]

800 damage per second

[tardy vigil]

who else it would shoot

[tardy vigil]

oh per second?

[hot rampart]

yes

per second

[tardy vigil]

damn its a lot

[hot rampart]

for 15 seconds

[hot rampart]

sometimes u can have another 3 block (last deployed somewhere else)

and before cannon shoot whoever is holding slugs will have the slugs getting killed fast

[tardy vigil]

but she needs to do 1000 necrosis damage first

and s1 is 95% atk

[hot rampart]

[willow nymph]

look at talent

it is aoe

[fluid verge]

2 more days right?

[tardy vigil]

its really really slow

if we take e1 lvl 80 then with 400 atk she needs to deal 250% of her atk as necrosis dmg to proc the burst - or with 8% per second a whole 31 second inside her atk range

enemies will be fr dying from old age

[willow nymph]

or e 2 1 and use s3

kills everyone

[wanton stratus]

Did you give up on getting the ch13 UI theme?

[tardy vigil]

yes, a while ago

[wanton stratus]

Oh

Rest in peace

[tardy vigil]

there arent any guides really

they show ardorious difficulty

[wanton stratus]

But normal is easier?

Wdym

Most stages have the same map layout between adverse and normal difficulty

So a guide should work

[tardy vigil]

they are different

like 10-11 ardorious have half the enemies come from a different direction

and take a different path

wait, I found a guide

can someone display a kaltsit s3 pls

[hot rampart]

easy mode time

[wanton stratus]

Easy mode doesn’t unlock the UI

[hot rampart]

it can help u get there

[hot rampart]

i put it up

[tardy vigil]

hol up, leveling horn from 35 to 80 smh helped

[wanton stratus]

No way

[tardy vigil]

I would never expect 15% atk increase to matter

[ebon sphinx]

the game is kind of balanced such that even stuff as small as 1-5% increase do matter

and this is why snipers start to snowball in IS if they get more attack buffs...

[tardy vigil]

I can see it about high armor targets

since you get flat increase above enemy armor, getting much more value

but not in ch10 where its pure hp

just lost a stage because 1 dude survived on 0 hp and killed all my respawning melee units
then fast redeploy managed to stall, then I decided to not wait for nuke and retreated units to deploy guards
0 hp slug that I didnt see and was blocked now freely run into blue box

[tardy vigil]

it goes much smoother now

problem is - still lotta stages, probably not ch13

[hallow garnet]

speedrunning ch13 before event ends

lovely

but i get to use a fia cheeto combo a lot

not even really forcing

[wanton stratus]

[tardy vigil]

should I spend my pots now or wait for the event?

[willow nymph]

wait

[wanton stratus]

I’m spending mine now

[tardy vigil]

[tardy vigil]

but how much sanity value is in extra sanity?

quick math tells me I need 125 sanity spent to get 2k shards aka 1 pot + 1 keg with goods

each giving me 90 sanity back

[willow nymph]

the pots are 10san worth

[tardy vigil]

how can you explain those 43 boosters if they were not spawned by event?

so I would be getting total of 1.72 sanity value in this event, compared to usual 1.3-1.4 farming this side story

oh wait, every one beyond first refunds only 10 sanity

why they would be...

[willow nymph]

Yep

it's only 1.1 san eff + the crate

and i'm gonna say the crate average ~10san per so 1.2

which is worse than events

[tardy vigil]

flexing your new theme eeh

[hot rampart]

theres a free black one just cope with that

[fluid verge]

I swear to fucking God w figurines are like the hardest merch to get

I never see her original 1/7 ever listed

[tardy vigil]

just order them from china?

[hot rampart]

i pre ordered it from taobao already

idk chinese but it says i have to pay for a deposit first from the official arknights tmall

[tardy vigil]

or you mean new one?

[hot rampart]

@fluid verge

[tardy vigil]

should I go to china this summer just to buy some AK merch

[hot rampart]

maybe but u need to know exactly where the AK merch store is

[fluid verge]

New one

@hot rampart did u use that guide from before to preorder?

[hot rampart]

no

i think yeah

sorta

but the guide mentions some 3rd party stuff?

like a freight forwarder

[quaint arch]

ZZZZZ

[hot rampart]

but i just make taobao acc

add my address

go to tmall arknight offical store

[quaint arch]

Need to leak to unlock Collectible

[hot rampart]

the issue i face is when i want to buy/add to cart the button is greyed out

and says its not available for sale in my region despite when i made the address they clearly have my country in it for some reason

i bullshit another address and make it china and random bullshit go ( as long as china )

it lets me add to cart

but change the address to my country address anyway and even adds up the tax shipping and all that when paying

it accepts any sort of international visa/mastercard btw

[hot rampart]

what diff lvl

[quaint arch]

0

[hot rampart]

[quaint arch]

Why bother, i already did D10 anyway + Battle Pass at max this month

[hot rampart]

d9 has all the relic upgraded

and its pretty comfy

[quaint arch]

I can't believe this iteration of IS encourages us to "Get Good" (playing at higher difficulty)

[hot rampart]

the new mechanics and skill tree make it easier than is2 tbf

at 0 diff

skill tree is way stronger

[fluid verge]

Kama how much was it for u in USD when converted

[hot rampart]

like 31 dollars?

but its a deposit

[quaint arch]

True

[hot rampart]

full payment is 828 yuan which is 114 usd

is that some 3rd party store?

[fluid verge]

Hmm

Yea

It's reputable

[hot rampart]

this i didnt include some shipping / tax

but its gonna be more ig

[fluid verge]

Screw it wats an extra 30 bucks

[hot rampart]

[fluid verge]

Think I'll just preorder from there

[hot rampart]

[fluid verge]

Yea

[hot rampart]

i didnt buy quercus

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

idk if i wanna buy it when i dont use her

[fluid verge]

Yep

[hot rampart]

but like

i already bought skins for operators i dont use

[fluid verge]

I still use Dorothy and fiametta for my war crimes team

[hot rampart]

sideroca , kjera , NCD

they are still lvl 1

[fluid verge]

[quaint arch]

Ops should've only been allowed to use outfits if they're E2 (3* and lower are the exception)

[fluid verge]

Gatekeeping skins

[hot rampart]

[fluid verge]

3 stars or lower need to be E1 lvl 50 or max levelwl

We can still gatekeep them

[quaint arch]

Good enough

E1 LV55 ain't that costly

[fluid verge]

Which 4 star should get an alter

I wanna see vigna grown up

[fluid verge]

She's a good one

[hot rampart]

HAHAHAHAHA

[fluid verge]

[hot rampart]

the amount of cope gonna be crazy

like the amount of cope getting destroyed

[ebon sphinx]

Lord module, remove penalty from her passive? 😄

[hot rampart]

yeah thats it

[fluid verge]

Why is she considered one of the worst again?

[hot rampart]

thats all

[ebon sphinx]

uh, she has extended range but has a penalty on attack timer? iirc

[quaint arch]

Talent makes DPS worse

[hot rampart]

one of the op where being e2 LOWERS her dps than just being e1 max

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

and ruins all her skill slow cycle

since she attacks slower

and the slow duration is shorter than the attack frequency

[fluid verge]

[tough matrix]

[willow nymph]

unironically vigil feels nice with mod

[tough matrix]

for real?

I might level him up because I have s3m3 vigil

[willow nymph]

sorry for your loss

[tough matrix]

I mean, he's cool

I don't mind the loss

relic of past

[willow nymph]

and yeah the dodge bulk does make him way better at not just dying instantly

i mean he's still irrelevant for hard stuff

but pretty serviceable

and s3 is useable

[tough matrix]

is there any core caster that is equal with eyja?

[willow nymph]

what do you mean by equal

because there's no other core casters with her s3

and she's by far the best at semi aoe in the arche

[tough matrix]

if there is no one equal, then 1 tier below then

[willow nymph]

why does it need to be a core caster

Carnelian has for some trade off and upsides a very similar s3 to eyja's

Leonhardt has a s2 with rather similar output compared to s2 eyja

[tough matrix]

I guess so

now I'm done with this

[fluid verge]

i mean htese are the only 6 star core casters to my knowledge

if we just talking casters in general, i personally got a lot of mileage out of lin and GG

Ifrit also slaps when the maps work out for her

and ch13 had quite a bit of ifrit lanes

[hot rampart]

ceobe sweeeep

[fluid verge]

yo kama when you get the final price for your figure lmk so i can see how much money i coulda saved

[hot rampart]

bro 💀

i hope thats real cuz right now its only pre order

[fluid verge]

yea im putting 19:50 down rn

[hot rampart]

i asked someone how the preorder works but basically in taobao they will make another listing with the actual figure and minus the pre order deposit u paid

the shipments gonna start in january 2025

[fluid verge]

114 USD = 828 RMB

holy fuck why are we westerners fucked so hard

[hot rampart]

it is what it is

but i think u shoulda try going through taobao first since ya know u can google translate the site to have some idea

kinda what i did

[bleak mirage]

828 rmb?

[fluid verge]

well i already order it

[hot rampart]

im expecting my full price to spikes like up to 950 rmb with tax + shipping

[bleak mirage]

American dollars ode

[fluid verge]

lets compare the prices when its released, im actually pretty curious to see

[hot rampart]

china yuan currency

[fluid verge]

if its only a difference of like 20 bucks its w.e

[tardy vigil]

bruh jan 2025

why

[hot rampart]

its a new figure

[tardy vigil]

if you gonna wait infinte time just forget about it, and buy in march 2025 when they make 10 mil of those figurines

[hot rampart]

yeah thats a fair line of thinking but i can buy it now and still forget it and surprise it to reach me like end of february

also sometimes stocks are limited it depends on the product

[tardy vigil]

bros out there funding endfield promotion

[hot rampart]

u are welcome my dude

[tardy vigil]

[fluid verge]

well preorders sometimes comes with bonuses

theres also the fact that u guaraentee what you are getting

[hot rampart]

wait does it?

[fluid verge]

limited stock is also an issue

been trying to get this for years

otherwise u gotta try ur luck on ebay

or wait for an reissue

or settle with a bootleg

[tough matrix]

[fluid verge]

this was the preorder bonus i think

[hot rampart]

ooo i remember this one is it like hard to search for it now?

[fluid verge]

theres a ton of cheap ones on ebay

[hot rampart]

heh

[hot rampart]

(i still have her lvl 1)

[fluid verge]

literally found another website where its 160 vs 194 omg

[tardy vigil]

they make very limited amounts?

[fluid verge]

yes

[tardy vigil]

I thought they would be making dozens of thousands

[fluid verge]

no?

alot of these figurines are made to order

[hot rampart]

i have no experience in buying anime figurines

especially expensive/ high quality ones

i guess it depends on the brands

since this start with preorder they might use it to gauge how much they wanna actually make + extras for future buyers to prevent overstock

[tardy vigil]

they can easily sell 3x preorders

and factory probably charges them like 10$ per piece at those volumes

[hot rampart]

i browse through the arknights official taobao and see dusk figure (from the same apex brand) is still selling

[tardy vigil]

it makes sense to have some limitied figurines and some more mass produced

[fluid verge]

is the OG w figure there kama/

[hot rampart]

i think i didnt see any

[tough matrix]

the stage is really annoying

[fluid verge]

500+ people bought those figures eh

[tough matrix]

[hot rampart]

he is the easiest boss comparr to other victoria arc bosses

[fluid verge]

they made 44k usd more or less

[hot rampart]

theres letter on the sides im not sure if they meant to be like 500+hundreds/tenths something like that

[fluid verge]

wait is that symbol the chinese yuan or japanese yen

[hot rampart]

yuan

thats from taobao app

[fluid verge]

that 500 translate to people pay

[hot rampart]

im increasing my social credits having it installed on my phone

[fluid verge]

so im assuming they are saying 500+ people paid for it

that dusk figure is 87 USD

its about 150 on these sites omg

anyway you can check myfigurecollect and see what they release for characters

[hot rampart]

u are basically buying for them to handle the freight forwarding + shipping shenanigans

[fluid verge]

yep

[tardy vigil]

looks great

[hot rampart]

bean

[civic linden]

I've been thinking abour raising another 6* caster...do i keep being an edgy contrarian and raise ho oh or just go for gg/eyjah?

[hot rampart]

raise hool then gg
then let eyja stays e0 lvl 1 for maximum contarian (eyja hater)

[fluid verge]

u want meta answer?

its get eyja and GG

eyja s2 and s3 are universally good

and gg s3 is braindead global damage

[civic linden]

nah i'm just kinda conflicted cause the main reason i want to raise one of them is IS cause sometimes i really need arts damage, have enough hope for a 6* and get a caster ticket but well...
i know how meta gg and eyjah are but ho oh kindaaaa works so idk

[fluid verge]

hoolheyak module 2 gives her sp gain if she hits an elite/boss

[Emergency Update of Strategic Cooperation Terms]

Cooperating Operator: Wiš'adel (formerly known as W)

Identity: Sarkaz Mercenary/Tower of Babel Member

Cooperation Period: During the Londinium War, to be updated in the future

Cooperation Objective: To return home

"This is the new cooperation agreement with Miss W——Wiš'adel. Considering her special status, we should have held another vote among the elite operators again. However, the situation is urgent——"

"Wiš'adel, to wish for a home. This name has become a spell that restrains her behaviors. Her significance to the Sarkaz, along with other young mercenaries, has manifested as expected."

"W has changed a lot, often reminding me of when she was still in Babel. Regarding the affairs of the Sarkaz, Rhodes Island needs to cooperate with her on this matter, and I believe Blaze will understand."

"It doesn't matter. The next time they fight, S.W.E.E.P. will still be there."

"Amiya, you have made your judgment."

"Yes, Dr. Kal'tsit. I am willing to believe in Miss Wiš'adel. Whether in Londinium or returning to Kazdel in the future, she is an important partner of Rhodes Island. However, I hope the final decision will be made by the Doctor——"

40% is stage

[versed compass]

Silver Ass
HP++ | ATK++
Gain 10% > more++ ATK, increase ATK+ when attacking Elite or Boss enemies
All operators' redeployment time -10%, further reduce the redeployment time of allies within 8 surrounding tiles

they cant even give him unconditional redeploy time improvement

wtf QB one might be actually insane for QB + ela suzuran combo

[willow nymph]

It's literally too busted to give that to him

Honestly sa gets a massive damage inxrease from it

And that keeps him below mly

[fluid verge]

Bruh the highlight of the lord modules are lappy

Actually disgusting

[versed compass]

we all know he only gonna be a supporter with mly around

QB is pretty good highlight imo

[willow nymph]

Jokes aside the damage up from sa

Is crazy

I'm expecting over 50% dps increase

[fluid verge]

Lappy and QB modules are what I'm going for

[versed compass]

lapp getting another keyword dont seem much

espically when we already ahve a busted dps with fragile

pretty much guranteed

[fluid verge]

Who's that operator with busted DPS and fragile

[versed compass]

ela

[quaint arch]

What if the numbers turned out to be a joke?

[versed compass]

bitch be doing pozyomka dps while having very controlable fragile

[quaint arch]

More sources of fragile is going to be nice

[willow nymph]

We already know the number on the extra arts atk

[versed compass]

will they dont stack so we using the best ones

[fluid verge]

Ela can't cover the whole map can't she

[hot rampart]

the 50% dps increase is already from available numbers from trait and average module stats

[willow nymph]

Yep

[versed compass]

oh poor you

[hot rampart]

it will be more when the numbers for the module upgrade is up

[fluid verge]

I never looked at her kit

[versed compass]

her fragile come from 3X3 mines

[willow nymph]

It's really massive

[quaint arch]

[versed compass]

she can place anywhere

If only i learned more calculus

[willow nymph]

But sa has half the damare of mly so w/e

[fluid verge]

Trap master eh

[quaint arch]

(Jk, i would never )

[versed compass]

Frostleaf
ATK++ | DEF++
Expand Attack Range, however slightly increase Attack Interval (+0.15 seconds) and has a chance+ to inflict Chill for a few seconds
no way

frostleaf meta

[willow nymph]

That's why it's ultimately irrelevant

[versed compass]

trust me bro

SA be like half damage double CD of mly

[quaint arch]

Attack Interval Increase remain untouched

[willow nymph]

Chance is 100% btw
