I came here cuz I saw TACHANKA
versed compass
my main new char targets are like ela banner (cause i like collabs) and W/L (look i pulled hard for og W i cant skip on her broken self)
hot rampart
i was slowly burning out like around year 2 and there was no signs of IS2 that my interest slowly drifting away
and behold some weeks or a month later is2 got revealed on CN

It's either a W or a L
versed compass
IS2 is reworked IS1
IS3 started to tweak hard into IS specific mechanics and added diff setting
IS4 get rid of annoying stuff and made very cool mechanics
hot rampart
is#3 has cancers
versed compass
hopefully IS5 keep up
i would say every IS did something wrong that prev IS did not have tbh
IS4 have worst set of final bosses imo
violet vortex
I’m rolling almost everyone after this banner for awhile
quaint arch
Idk, it can't get any more Peak than IS#4 Foldartals and Compass System
We need to see how it plays out
violet vortex
After skipping almost everyone last 6-7 months
quaint arch
hot rampart
cancer balance are so out of wack
meta aberation is game ending if it reach ur main dps while others are mild inconvinience
violet vortex
Including this banner
hot rampart
thats just my issue with IS3
versed compass
ya thats the wrong part of IS3
IS4 wrong part is final bosses
ed1 feels like you fighting mobs not a boss
ed2 is just troll
ed3 is somewhat ok
hot rampart
i wished it was like the cancer u get is from said bunch of cancer pool
instead of only one cancer is seeded in 1 run
hot rampart
IS4 wrong part is final bosses
ed1 feels like you fighting mobs not a boss
ed2 i...
i like ed1 boss but not ed2
quaint arch
IS4 wrong part is final bosses
ed1 feels like you fighting mobs not a boss

ED2
versed compass
ed2 is not even hard
quaint arch
Just Block them boss

FACT
hot rampart
I’m rolling almost everyone after this banner for awhile
the line up kinda crazy for upcoming ones actually make me worry about my stash
versed compass
am not spoiling my self so wait 3 months
then ask me
tho i do not expect anything to top izumik battle
hot rampart
versed compass
you can try i will just ignore you like the youtube feeds am getting 
it cant be worse boss fight then ed2 anyway
actually no boss fight can be worse then that
even shitty ass faust from IS1 felt more fun
violet vortex
I got 400 something pulls and I’m willing to pass on some if necessary
But that’s good enough
tardy vigil
That's why imo there needs to be an endgame
Really difficult one
Borderline unbeatable
Unless you research deep/whale af/max everything
And it needs to be there permanently
hot rampart
i think IS is good enough for that with the diff increasing up to 15
tardy vigil
"uooh, but I can't afk clear whole game" get used to having some stages unbeaten or do some research
tardy vigil
i think IS is good enough for that with the diff increasing up to 15
IS is not a regular game
hot rampart
are u sure
tardy vigil
It's good, but it's only one side
hot rampart
i don't see the difference u implying
tardy vigil
are u sure
Yes, regular AK plays differently
hot rampart
uhhh wouldnt say so
hot rampart
game is still clear maps with select squad except ur squad members arent guaranteed
tardy vigil
It's about weird buffs
hot rampart
its a "different" side of things but its still the same at core
tardy vigil
And how it isn't replicable
tardy vigil
its a "different" side of things but its still the same at core
I advocate for having both "vanilla" and roguelite endgame
hot rampart
yeah then i guess CC might be it but people arent actually into that
to seemingly make it permanent? idk why HG just only have dailies as permanent
hot rampart
I advocate for having both "vanilla" and roguelite endgame
honestly speaking roguelike is actually a fairly working endgame even with vanilla in mind
its pretty vanilla its just some layers of rng added on top for "replayability"
tardy vigil
honestly speaking roguelike is actually a fairly working endgame even with vanil...
HSR has both
tardy vigil
HSR has 2 roguelike endgame modes
And it has vanilla gameplay in a different mode
Now 2 vanilla modes with 3rd coming soon
tardy vigil
idk what vanilla HSR is
Same battles as in rogue like, but the mode it
You come in room, you beat 1 big battle, do it for different enemy with second team, end
You don't have any "super metal for +30% HP to tanks" but you get to plan every action happening for you and enemies
It is satisfying, and I played it much more then roguelike
tardy vigil
- trying to do 200 dumdum trial on 6*: piss ez
- trying to do 200 dumdum trial on 2*: holy why its so hard omg
hot rampart
ebon sphinx
usually they add them later eventually
but yeah, for 2-3*s its a toss up if its easy and straightforward or RNG/timing mald
i am staring at Noir Corne and 12F...
hot rampart
do some units just dont have trials?
its added depends on HG wanting to give those units some piece of breads(lore)
tardy vigil
lin has no simulation
I thought it was supposed to give me feel of the unit, how it should be played
contrary to story that needs writing its just a level
70k lmd to raise
nah, I'll skip
I need 305 gems for 10roll
violet vortex
What are you aiming for
tardy vigil
Yes odumdum
tardy vigil
What are you aiming for
I am aiming at randomly getting the warlock girl
undone glen
lin has no simulation
Lin is just a meatshield most of the times tbh
Playstyle also kinda change depends on which skill you're using
For S2
You want her around as much other units as possible
For S3, just let her sit on the front and activate the skill when there's big wave
The fun part of using her is when you're playing IS
tardy vigil
The fun part of using her is when you're playing IS<:GinHeh:924671148891971676>
and what special about it?
undone glen
and what special about it?
The spam skill
Also there's a relic that gives phalanx caster burn damage when enemies stepped on their range
tardy vigil
I thought in IS I would run s1
undone glen
Idk about that
Since i rarely use S1
S3 is the best pick especially with her module that increases the SP regen trigger rate
undone glen
Honestly
Lin isn't really a good caster after all
I upgraded her just because i like her
undone glen
I don't really follow the meta
I'm pretty much a seasonal now, also i don't play CN
tardy vigil
then why you say lin isnt good
if you dont follow meta she might be the best you know
undone glen
if you dont follow meta she might be the best you know
She is indeed the best
The best for my taste that is
tardy vigil
I can tell you she is better then lava
tardy vigil
in every fucking way
undone glen
Oh wait no she's probably only top 10 for me
Way below Beehunter and Tomimi
tardy vigil
Comparing 3* to 6*
such are the ways of my account
tough matrix
probably surtr will be next
undone glen
Anyway new Beehunter skin when
undone glen

Viviana S3M3 needs ch13 mats
I haven't reached it

this side story is big one
and I wonder why it takes me ages to read story for 1 battle
tardy vigil
and I wonder why it takes me ages to read story for 1 battle
holy fuck
the game aint a book
tough matrix
No. M3 either Lessing Skill first
idk about that
tardy vigil
one side event is a book
tardy vigil
and I wonder why it takes me ages to read story for 1 battle
and I am supposed to read this in 2 weeks
and it isnt a hecking Tom Sawyer book, much more like the Picture of Dorian Gray
hot rampart
damn
tardy vigil
tardy vigil
Infamous sexas herself
hot rampart
AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEE FUCKING SACCC
tardy vigil
Is she that good
tardy vigil
AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEE FUCKING SACCC
No limited warlock still
tardy vigil
Is it possible?
tardy vigil
Are they all limiteds?
tardy vigil
Good
hot rampart
(warlock girl is better for harder content but sexas for general use is just way too good)
tardy vigil
It's fine, I got A limited
hot rampart
her s2 will help u kill any sort of threats + damaging/killing mobs around said threat due to s2 explosion on the map as long as there are ground tiles
s3 is much easier general use skill for mobs wiping while still doing decent chunks of damage (also it hit drones)
spark oasis
and I am supposed to read this in 2 weeks
3 weeks, but yes. It's absurd.
Lone Trail was already bad enough.
tardy vigil
I assume it goes into side story pile so we can finish it later
hot rampart
lone trail took me only 5 days on and off reading it
tardy vigil
So it isn't bad, it's just sorta absurd
spark oasis
I'm pretty sure it won't for at least a year.
tardy vigil
They are writing whole ass books and pretend it's "little lore in-between battles"
hot rampart
also im shocked ch 14 was longer than current arturia event sidestort cuz somehow i binged it in a day
one single sidestory tend to have multiple "arcs" within them especially the long ones
tardy vigil

That is the volume of whole hecking novels
It's common for novels to have multiple narrative lines
hot rampart
yeah basically
hot rampart
u reminded me of something
yostar aint translating the encyclopedia of terra that HG made to sell em to jp let alone global
452 pages worth of texts
about terra history and places
tardy vigil
do you have a link?
tardy vigil
I mean
now I see why global is half a year behind cn
and why they dont hire voice actors for the story
and someone said this game is a cashgrab
when its entertaiment for highest intellectuals out there - complex strategy and a literary magazine
hot rampart
i only have 3 braincells
hot rampart
REEEAAALLLL
tardy vigil
I find it funny how 200 years ago young writers would give their works to some big name to publish - and now they became a part of big corporation like everyone else. A corporation that is honest and doesnt steal any of their deserved fame and makes everyone "just an employee" instead.
hot rampart
uhh idk i kinda have no clue who the writers are in arknight
tardy vigil
what is highly likely that those "side story" books are written by same people as 1-3 story 5 years ago - but they gained more experience in refining their work
hot rampart
yeah that is possible
ebon sphinx
some also suspected that writing problems can be blamed on Haimao/umineko/lowlight since he's an art guy first, not a writer
hot rampart
its still imperfect but they sorta improve it in a way to make it more interesting instead of just yapping over nothing
tardy vigil

wow
I can see now
ebon sphinx
not without reason since he was previously involved in Girls Frontline and the first 6 chapters were...not considered good
tardy vigil
HG founded by arts major and Hoyo founded by programming majors
ebon sphinx
MICA's boss is a business major meanwhile which might explain how the fuck do they stay afloat despite profit numbers much lower than their competitors
hot rampart
isnt that kinda contradict it
despite being a business major his business doesnt look that profitable
willow nymph
They qhould make more money yeah
ebon sphinx
on one hand, perhaps, on the other hand..the fact they stay afloat and growing anyway is probably evidence of good penny pinching or budgeting
tardy vigil

what is his major?
hot rampart
altho in a sense 90% of people starting business arent likely to last long after opening their business

business major = handshakes major
they study how to know other rich kids there

god dammit reminding me how people saying the ceo does money laundering secretly to fund his games
ebon sphinx
anyway, a known trivia is how Yostar and MICA's history are interlinked since the presidents of both used to be close friends. Emphasis on used
tardy vigil
big gacha
ebon sphinx
prototype design for W used to be the intended design for Mk 18 Mod 0 as a character in GFL. Now repurposed and became W and then redrawn by Liduke since Lowlight is more an art director and manager now
its the reason she has an AR rifle that she doesnt seem to use
tardy vigil
whoever drew typhon splash art need to think more and draw it again
I understand that chinese have never seen finnish and probably trust reddit that it doesnt exist
but damn
willow nymph
Lm7 moment
hot rampart
while detailing every other parts to the tee
i dont think he is an inhouse artist? tho
ebon sphinx
hes a freelancer yes
hot rampart
typhon is the worst possible outcome
tardy vigil
you guys are absolutely correct
hot rampart
especially when is4 was teased and we only got to see glimpse of typhon' back
without seeing the face
then the reveal whiplash happened
ebon sphinx
you guys are absolutely correct
the trivia goes "She ran out before Vulcan was able to give her pants"
hot rampart
ebon sphinx
which is why pantsless look
hot rampart
spark oasis
its perfect for ceobe
It's just a jacked up face regardless. Looks bad on Ceobe, and everyone else he illustrated.
tardy vigil
and I thought "what is wrong with this ho'ilheyak in banner. Looks outright scary"
hot rampart
lm7 seems to sacrifice his ability to draw good faces for the ability to draw other parts that isnt face with insane artistic details
wanton stratus
Perfectly balanced
tardy vigil
willow nymph
Lm7 area of mastery is belts
tardy vigil
I mean everything looks great
except shrooms in tea that everyone on reddit talks about
hot rampart
something abiut ange's,hool' mouth and chin doesnt look right a bit
tardy vigil
nothing about their faces looks right
I bet they draw face "somehow" 5 times and ask someone else to pick the least cursed one
willow nymph
Honestly i take that over anmi's pastel pink color palette
Everything anmi draws pastel pink
hot rampart
eyja caster skin is worse of all
ebon sphinx
I should note that for a married woman with a child, Anmi sure is pretty good at drawing the most innocent looking characters with...butt focus among others. Its not there in AK but in other games
willow nymph
Women draw the horniest arts
hot rampart
liduke anniversary art celebration meme where the compilation of characters she draw gets more naked each year
but theres none last year and this year cuz its probably somewhere in her special folder
tardy vigil
I should note that for a married woman with a child, Anmi sure is pretty good at...
I dont see why any of those qualities would take away from their obsession with butts
hot rampart
(liduke likely has no time to draw anni art since she is busy being the art director for endfield)
tardy vigil
I hope endfield wont have walls of text like some hoyo sidequests
hot rampart
i thinks thats unavoidable especially when it comes from HG and some writers consistency need to be presence for both games as they are in the same universe so likely sharing the same writers
BUT due to voice acting being present might make them use less words than in AK
tardy vigil
BUT due to voice acting being present might make them use less words than in AK
hoyo side-side quests are unvoiced
hot rampart
uh oh
tardy vigil
even if characters involved have voices in main story
there is main story, somewhat important personal side quests - with voice
and then timed events, big map quests, this that etc...
hot rampart
makes sense
tardy vigil
here I can open external database and read the book from there
and read it like a book - even ingame
in open world rpg reading 40k words book to do 1 side quest line
almost no one does that, especially considering how you cant go back in lots of cases
hot rampart
i havent thought of that as something of an issue
before
alot of actual games never had any sort of "archives" to reread what is being said so it felt like the norm
it helps they dont yap long
versed compass
Unless you research deep/whale af/max everything
i mean we do have that end game
its just no rewords attached to it
Dos is probably most end game stuff with rewords we will ever have
tardy vigil
Dos was the grand endgame
but people for some reason hated on it
you guys know better why
versed compass
i can see why
a lot of players are casuals
they are playing ak as a relaxing waifu collecter
those poeples already have some hard time with 72 stars squads in normal events
tardy vigil
some content creators hated on it too
just skip bro
if you arent endgame player then just skip
versed compass
cause they want to make guides for every event
and this event is the worst to make guides for
content creators will seek to make content
kyo would not struggle to beat anything him self for example
bro is more stacked then i am
tardy vigil
what so bad about this event so they cant make content?
willow nymph
those poeples already have some hard time with 72 stars squads in normal events
72 ? make that 78
versed compass
true did not count borrows
tardy vigil
its much more demanding then other events
I still dont see the problem
willow nymph
this event is not demanding at all???
it's solved by switching tune to the one that don't help the enemy
tardy vigil
they can
- explain mechanics
- explain tips and tricks of particular maps
- what and why units work or dont work
- showcase funny clears
willow nymph
oh design of strife is just a cc replacement so people were mad they couldn't clear
tardy vigil
they dont have to do 3* clear of everything, and they didnt for ch13 anyway
versed compass
they can
- explain mechanics
- explain tips and tricks of particular maps
- what...
theres a huge watch audionce now for button allergy clears (afk clears)
you think they seek knowledge
willow nymph
they dont have to do 3* clear of everything, and they didnt for ch13 anyway
Just go on bili
there' ch13 maps there
with 3* only
tardy vigil
I am suggesting content that people can be making over dos
versed compass
anyway someone was struggeling with frost nova 2 with borrows (including borrowed exu/pozy)
then someone else said that stage is easy so the asker tried to show his (underleveled box)
hot rampart
theres a huge watch audionce now for button allergy clears (afk clears)
CN viewership of afk guides is also way higher than low star guides

seems ok
versed compass
ya CN players are no difference
willow nymph
it's a joke with that team
versed compass
- borrow too
versed compass
we made him borrow yato cause it cant get more braindead then that
theres actually a known guy in ako
that complain about powercreep, not in ops but in enemies
usually pop up every hard event boss
willow nymph
no?
hot rampart
ok witch king sucks
but like overall boss tend to have a lot more funny stuff going on for them than years ago
is4 ed2 boss sucks too ig but he is overloaded with stuff despite jobbing , he is only missing a respawn + bkb
versed compass
he was known since EB release
tardy vigil
witch king is hard
he just jumped on my typhon and two hit killed her, didnt play ever since was too scared
||pls dont suggest how to solve this stage||
willow nymph
is4 ed 2 boss has like 2 mechanics really :lappdumb:
willow nymph
Freeze your shit in aoe
does the funny cs but better at hp%
willow nymph
cresson is the is4 boss with the most stuff going on and it can be summed up as
ranged atk hits 2 and hits harder on debuff tiles
make debuff tiles
device remove debuff tiles and make him vuln for 5/10s
and teleports every X second
teleports 2 space on phase 2
versed compass
ya IS4 is so basic in term of final bosses so far
lucian have more mechanics then whole of IS4 bosses
versed compass
i really want to play D15 lucian
hot rampart
i think it to make up for the fact that they dont have difficulty scaling
is3 is first iteration of said difficulty scaling but izumik and LK becomes pepega
willow nymph
scriptwriter with the aoe attacks and all the other garbage aspd debuff
Lk is pepega at d0
versed compass
IS3 still have cool bosses
not as cool as IS2 but still better then IS4
willow nymph
5k def is uh?
hot rampart
they tried tone bosses down for is4 and this is what we got
aside from ed3 and maybe ed4
willow nymph
I like the is4 boss map so much better
because it's not Boss and trash
it's an actual map
emergency ed3 took it a bit too seriously

he's also good in is2 generally because stun lmao

i think that's overkill
violet vortex
Pretty easy afk anni
hallow garnet
this is just a very obvious typhon anni
tho i dont remember any anni being hard anymore
all very afkable
willow nymph
~~main typhon thing about it is the trees you don't need to kill ~~
versed compass
annis stayed similar power to each other
while our accounts only get strongers
now you deploy typhon for annis
later you will be deploying logos and wisadel s1 to afk it

So glad I built Lin before this annihilation map appeared
I don't use Lin.

she can drop any banner

Must resist
tardy vigil
resistance is not immunity

its a gamble everytime one wakes up in the morning
violet vortex
The desire to pull subsides after a certain point
I do recommend at least looking at the 6-7 months worth of foresight and being realistic about odds
So you don’t miss something you actually want
hot rampart
some people just dont have self control even with foresight in mind
willow nymph
I can just whale 🐳
civic linden
You really need to think about pulling especially now
Since we are gonna be bombarded with limited units soon
tardy vigil
So you don’t miss something you actually want
I don't want anything in coming 6 months lmao
Maybe, maybe r6 rerun
tardy vigil
The desire to pull subsides after a certain point
yea, when you get big enough roster and dont care that much for new units
idk, odds look sus
I cant pull one unit and if fail pull another. Have to save for a million years and if pulled early then congratz! you can pull again in 3 months only
tardy vigil

At least you get those token thingies for mats

why...

good question
I dont drink, I dont smoke, I live modest live and have barely anything in need of buying
but really wanted to buy something for myself
hot rampart
thats fair
violet vortex
Yeah but whaling is a fraction of a fraction of value dollar to nearly any activity
ebon sphinx
Aoi Yuuki explained that shes a big whale because she doesnt have much other avenues to spend due to her busy schedule

Going into bar is literally negative value long term
hot rampart
violet vortex
Gacha games never managed to warp my mind to their absurd pricing
Would have to never need to look at a price tag again in my life to consider it
tardy vigil
I'd call whaling value close to buying another plushie
willow nymph
Nah good plushies are for life
I still have plushies i got for my birth
Best value ever
hot rampart
mine just changes skins from time to time
violet vortex
Either way there is rarely much need to whale in arknights unless you’re either wasting time going for dupes or spontaneously want things

LMD gatekeeping
Unless use them on M3 or smth
tardy vigil
M3 seems much lower value then modules
And modules need LMD for lvl 60

Spontaneously want things
I never denied that being the case
I have 0 interest in building strongest team possible

tardy vigil

its a passive gain but u cannot farm it whatsoever so the amount is actually limited

This mindset just cost me absurd amounts of money
No i mean im 60ish pulls into pity
willow nymph
Best ive done is 2nd 6* at 131
tardy vigil
Yea I take those
civic linden
yall need to buy module blocks?
tardy vigil
What module are you going for? Horn's?
Typhon's?
civic linden
Yeah thats very worth it
tardy vigil
I would say Lin, but apparently she needs module 3
Horn is good anyway
Especially with s3
civic linden
Actually idk if this is a good amount of module mats
This just from saving from events and stuff
hot rampart
looks like someone who doesnt do modules much
im lazy in this regards but does every module related stuff like SSS
i only have like
50+ yellow modules
civic linden
Yeah modules just for my favourites
hot rampart
but do have a lot of modules from SSS
tardy vigil
I hope events give me enough so I dont play this mode
willow nymph
I have negative blocks and half my built roster doesnt have mod
hot rampart
its ok soon enough they will also sell those yellow blocks as packs
(they already did in CN)
wanton stratus
(they already did in CN)
What did they cost and how many do you get per pack?
quaint arch
Well, such lines
wanton stratus
For once, I am him

Is Ines worth 6 cope in IS?
Or should I spend it on damage dealers/healers/other useful units instead?
Courier seems so good with value of "block stick + some dp income"
hot rampart
Courier seems so good with value of "block stick + some dp income"
not worth the 2 cost actually
fang does the job just fine at 0 cost hope
and courier wont do any better than fang against higher attack enemies
ines is actually crazy good in IS as she offers damage , dp printing, and occasional lane holding
tardy vigil
and courier wont do any better than fang against higher attack enemies
He has like double def with skill up
And more hp
tardy vigil
Guess I should max fanf
hot rampart
all lord modules that is the 10% arts dmg at base effect is actually good
all 3 6* lords actually got significant modules for them
highest winner being qiubai actually
hallow garnet
qb meta now?
willow nymph
It strong af
hot rampart
her s3 total damage skyrocketed
willow nymph
No
willow nymph
Qb still not meta
hallow garnet
and thorns probably not back in the meta
hot rampart
not really meta but u can definitely feel the dmg increase
hallow garnet
afk king
willow nymph
Even if he got less damage from mod
The damage up is big and make him way better vs high def
And also the early part of s3
hot rampart
dot stacking also make him better against said high def
hallow garnet
all 3 6* lords actually got significant modules for them
wasnt SA just some redeploy thing?
yeaaah
hot rampart
yeah and huge attack buff
hot rampart
the talent has attack buff and redeployment talent in one
it increase his dmg significantly (still lose against mlynar tho )
hallow garnet
thats fine
his forte is helidrop
more schwing the better
gold or silver
i'll take both
tardy vigil
- no one in the field, only last big dude and redeployed Ines
She takes 0 damage, 0 damage, 80% of her HP, kills him
Check relics
hot rampart
skill difference
tardy vigil
I hope it's worth guys
hot rampart
very much so

How did you even get her
glacial breach
I hope it's worth guys<:ElanaPrayers:858361241290539048>
Welcome to easy mode
Braindead heli dropper
tardy vigil
Taking Lin as main dps was a mistake
tardy vigil
Welcome to easy mode
Is she good in IS?
hot rampart
dp is the only downside but can just be absolutely ignored by an actual good vg , ines/Myrtle
i think fang is like "good enough" for said dp costs consumption from redeploying texas over and over again
but not every 15 seconds kinda thing
deploying only when needed
tardy vigil
IS2 beat me up all the way
this way and another way
Lost like 6 times: sometimes on floor 1, sometimes on floor 3
hallow garnet
im laughing so hard
that reedic and gummy fulltanked gopnik
his one hit left gummy on like 5% hp every time
but they fullhealed
tardy vigil
+2 deploy limit was a trap
I'm so bad I need 4 temporary HP cuz I leak every second stage
civic linden
To be fair IS2 has some really bullshit floor 1 maps
versed compass
+2 squad +2 deploy is indeed a trap in IS
you pick it and get + deploy relics anyway so you end up with 13 deploy slots but you only using 7 ops
tardy vigil
Damn she looks so good
Defensive and boosts other defenses
A shame meta outcry will tell to me this is unplayable
hot rampart
A shame meta outcry will tell to me this is unplayable
quite playable actually
thats a defender in sheep clothing
undone glen
+2 squad +2 deploy is indeed a trap in IS
Play summoners
Get some + deployment limit relic
Then they give you the "summon doesn't consume deployment slot" relic at the end
quaint arch
That's IS#3
There's no such relic in IS#2
Btw
||I burned like... 70 Gold Certs to do the Mastery 3||
hallow garnet
REEDIC S2 go brrrrr
yep
hallow garnet
A shame meta outcry will tell to me this is unplayable
and what if she is (which she isnt, her 5* variant, windlift is). you play what u feel like
civic linden
She does have quite the unique niche of giving anything a 1-hit shield
wanton stratus
This keeps getting more insane
versed compass
Play summoners
Get some + deployment limit relic
Then they give you the "summon ...
play summoners > realize you can just use the dp for broken units > drop the summoner

fluid verge
What a day it will be when summons don't take up deployment slots
Let me run my zoo 
M9 magallan and m9 ling but no space to run both.

Oh wait ...
Only for 1st deployment
Now i wonder what Mod X Ling would be like....

Ashlock is an artillery operator in defender clothing. 
hot rampart
thats basically fortress defender
they just cant hit air thats the only difference (and their range obviously)
mossy tinsel
How is that a fortress when enemies can just pass her during her bombardment skill?
hot rampart
a fortress often have cannons/artillery mounted on said fortress
thats them basically
when enemies goes at right ur gate do u think ur cannon has enough angle rotation to hit them?
and even if they do i dont think shooting explosive right at ur walls is a good idea
mossy tinsel
I thought fortresses are meant to be walls to block all enemies or prevent any of them from entering said fortress.
hot rampart
well their job is to not let the enemies get near in the first place
these are just semanthics tbh but its entertaining to think about
hot rampart
horn and firewhistle s2 actually still deals aoe at melee range
u can see it as "i dont care im gonna bring u down with me"
firewhistle in particular shooting out a napalm
mossy tinsel
quaint arch
am actually ditching my ling in D15
Tribals hit harder than it looks
Especially D15
hot rampart
So Ashlock is basically a cannon on a fortress.
fortress defender implying they are said defender and not said fortress
mossy tinsel
Wait what? Swordmaster Guard? Are we seriously considering guns as swords?
hot rampart
since they are from a different world they do not restricted to the world:s rule
4head
mossy tinsel
That's more like a sniper than guard!
hot rampart
world's rule dont apply to them*
hot rampart
That's more like a sniper than guard!
TRUEEE
quaint arch
Wait what? Swordmaster Guard? Are we seriously considering guns as swords?
Swordmaster Guard were previously recognized by the community as Dualstrike Guard, btw
hot rampart
i shit u not irene and chen would be at a decent spot as an operator if they gain 2 sp per attack with offensive recovery
quaint arch
And so Cutter
hot rampart
instead of doing this they rather give degen s3 normal sp recovery
quaint arch
hot rampart
quaint arch
And Bibeak
hot rampart
And so Cutter
this is actually good showcase of what dual strike should have done
and a reminder due to cutter dual strike she actually rolls twice at rolling her talent per attack
hot rampart
ye
lets talk about gravel
thats a swordmaster in disguise cuz her attack seems to be multihit
mossy tinsel
Specialists can mean many things, so it's alright.
quaint arch
Nah, Gravel is more of a Knives
Too short to be called sword
Also, only newcomers use Gravel to Meatshield these days
Well, we don't know if we'll need Meatshield in the future content
hot rampart
eh i personally use her from time to time
fast redeploy meatshield is always a niche to fill in
easily
mossy tinsel
I see nothing sword-like with Tachanka at all, why not just put them in the sniper role?
hot rampart
u cannot sniper with a machine gun
mossy tinsel
Or can you?
hot rampart
maybe
mossy tinsel
quaint arch
u cannot sniper with a machine gun
Ahh yes, you can't just snipe without the dedicated sniper rifle
hot rampart
mossy tinsel
You can snipe with anything if you believe hard enough.
hot rampart

You can snipe with anything if you believe hard enough.
Like the Tax Evader (Ambriel)

I'm legit impressed with Weedy not being infected despite her hazardous environment, props to her!
hot rampart
"yeah she holds a scythe must be a farmer"
hot rampart
I'm legit impressed with Weedy not being infected despite her hazardous environm...
uhhh in her case she is a clean freak
so yeah
mossy tinsel
You try being a clean freak in a world filled with magic rock disease, that shit gets difficult to avoid.
hot rampart
sometimes its unavoidable u know
mossy tinsel
Which makes it even more impressive when I think about it. Weedy has been in RI since the beginning and she's still clean after all those times.
versed compass
> dual strike
> only gain 1 sp per "attack" which is 2 strike
its relevant with guard book
hot rampart
ouh yeah thats true actually
lets see who still benefits the most from this
degenbrecher!!!
her sp cost only being 5 cost more than irene,chen S3 while not having their offensive recovery problem
on the side u have cutter with 12 and 15 sp cost for her skills
versed compass
tbf cutter skills are much smaller then irene/chen s3
degen is degen we dont talk about her
hot rampart
yeah thats true
cutter s2 is kinda close level to chen s2
versed compass
cutter s2 only gonna look close if you hitting air
hot rampart
i mean their skill design
hot rampart
im actually curious about this since her over the top skill is actually s3
versed compass
her s2 and s1 are strong skills that get ignored because s3 is bonker
her s2 does like exu job in aoe or some shit
hot rampart
yeah they are over shadowed by a nuke
versed compass
which is pretty strong for early IS
also flingers have pretty good aoe for maps like prison
hot rampart
if so why i dont see rosmontis starter more commonly
i can sorta get greyalter starter cuz same effectiveness for like half the hope
versed compass
if so why i dont see rosmontis starter more commonly
cause rosmo/exu sucks later
unlike wisadel
hot rampart
yeah pretty much
versed compass
they actually can open
i tried to do rosmo opener
she was fine until she is not
hot rampart
meta starters are often ones that will also scale to higher floors
some "only good floor 1/2" is only really viable with lower rarity cuz hope cost effectiveness
versed compass
funny thing is
i conisder flinger hand to be broken
cus it made rosmo + greyy rekt f4 and f5 stages off skill
including emer musical
now put that broken shit
on a peak broken op
hot rampart
yeah surprise surprise when the multihit trait has fuck ton of DPH they start looking insane
versed compass
i heard shadows count as wis attacks
so they keep the hand stacks
between s3 shots
hot rampart
what the fuck
versed compass
wisadel : i one shot everything, even myself
hot rampart
i experience this sorta thing
versed compass
theres 2 op d15 relicless musical disaster (normal)
ela + wisadel
totally balanced
hot rampart
with passenger s3 + god hand
actually threw my run
cuz i didnt realize the connection
like the s3 range isnt going into the thorns chest BUT the bounces from said s3 attacks went to it cuz its just right beside the s3 range tile
versed compass
thorns chests can be pretty ass to deal with
hot rampart
versed compass
thankfully they dont put thorn chests in boss fights
hot rampart
thank fucking god cuz that's pointless
or well not pointless on uh
floor 3 boss
and floor 5 boss only if going to floor 6
hot rampart
versed compass
ela is doing pretty crazy work for IS too
she is more flexable suzuran with damage
hot rampart
tardy vigil
I hope he doesn't tell she was a bait
Ehp is a terrible term
It usually stands for "Effective HP" to factor in resistances. For example having 50 res with 10000 HP would mean unit has 20000 magical ehp, so your unit would need to do this much magical damage to kill them
E-damage dealt by e-girl
hot rampart
I hope he doesn't tell she was a bait
not bait he is convincing people why she gud

i cant take dragongjy srsly after some people in ako started to simp quercus because of him

wouldnt blame dragongjy or them for it
versed compass
Why can't it be like this in Samivilin Boss Stage?
they are like the police
why would they go after a mountain instead of duck lord group
versed compass
wouldnt blame dragongjy or them for it
maybe, but seeing his quercus show case i can say its pretty (baiting) tbh
