Arknights

[quaint arch]

The Base Mods still worthwhile, no?

Oh wait...

It conflicts with Talent 1

[hot rampart]

base mod always worth it

[tardy vigil]

Every event crate is a blue mat?!!!

Omg it's so many

[quaint arch]

You just realized that?

This Event Crates is all Blue Mats

[tardy vigil]

damn, this zt-ez 7 is sure a difficult stage, let me check youtube for an insights of how people beat it

https://tenor.com/view/seseren-gif-26751423

Cn is much better. They also do mylnar clears, except with less operators

[tardy vigil]

wow my e2 operators make it almost possible to clear ex7, but they barely lack the stats

tbh I have no clue how to use black hole

but I feel the power being close

shame Lin really needs max investment in her mod and especially s3m3

[civic linden]

Hmm lin does get way better with mod but i woudn't say thats the issue here

This event has a lot of ranged arts damage, which lin is very weak to

[tardy vigil]

she has some res

and stage has awkward ranged tiles to work on

[civic linden]

Yeah but the thing is even with mod 3 arts damage will still usually go over her shield treshold and damage her

[tardy vigil]

is it true that sss rewards reset tomorrow?

[hot rampart]

yesh it resets monthly

[tough matrix]

going to e2 arturia next

[hot rampart]

Gaul aka France

[wanton stratus]

You have 30 seconds to explain why Ursus isn’t a superpower

[hot rampart]

i mean its not like they are a superpower in terra either

[wanton stratus]

Emperor’s blade reading that sentence:

[hot rampart]

and they seem to be jobbing to whatevr on their left side (sami )

(i swear to god this is what it looks like reading sami stuff)

[willow nymph]

Gaul aka that massive black spot of death on the map

💀

[vagrant tusk]

3600 for Ifrit skin

[tardy vigil]

I got impression that no one is a superpower in Terra

there are maybe Great Powers and secondary powers, more akin to 18th-early 19th century power balance

Superpower implies global reach of the country and them having interests everywhere - as ability to back up those interests. It is a new term in history and is tied to globalization. Terra clearly isnt globalized

[wanton stratus]

Immaculate meme

[wanton stratus]

Is this JP only for now or do we know it’s coming to global?

[willow nymph]

londinium description be like "A superpower" 💀

e.g. for Columbia

and yes Londinium has an 18th-19th century power balance because it's the colonial british empire

Columbia is close to the US of the post-WW2

[tardy vigil]

Where it is described this way?

[tardy vigil]

What did Columbia do outside of their immediate neighborhood?

Where did this "superpower" projected power?

I understand that they are big and powerful and advanced, but it isn't enough to fit "superpower" term

[willow nymph]

they have a space program whereas ursus doesn't

first off

and you need to remember that travel is a much bigger problem in ak than irl

[quaint arch]

Global When?

[wanton stratus]

https://youtu.be/6kFL-9OaHJ0?si=4nfpn5SpTNJimFhE

https://youtu.be/yekaWXwM4VI?si=7PF083bhmcJ4_0jc

[quaint arch]

EN Where?

[wanton stratus]

I agree

[vagrant tusk]

Not sure about that

[ebon sphinx]

they claim it will come

but...who knows

[hot rampart]

they should at least have the daily login reward part with no kfc attached if its that problematic

[versed compass]

screw kfc

where my space amiya

[wanton stratus]

Where’s the WWF logo?

[tardy vigil]

This is exactly why I say that terra isn't globalized like the Earth today

[willow nymph]

Earth doesn't have
hostile as hell oceans
meteor showers happening often
Feranmuts roaming around

There's also higher city independance in Terra because of the fact they're single units

[tardy vigil]

I totally agree - and that's exactly why I claim that term "superpower", despite it's widespread usage in 2024, is not applicable to Terra

In 19th century Germany or France were much more advanced than Austria or Russia, yet all of them were referred to as Great Powers.

Term superpower only appeared after ww2 to refer to counties with global reach leading massive diplomatic blocks

Superpower is a diplomatic term, it does not refer to space program, wealth or technological advancements

Even today irl we can name countries that are big, or advanced, or wealthy - yet none are superpowers

[tardy vigil]

This is why I like analogies to 18-19 century: centralization of states happened in big part due to better communication and faster logistics, connecting insides of a country in economic and cultural ways before political unity.

Terra has poor communication and logistics and de-jure parts of a country experience big degree of independence

Just like it was in medieval and renaissance eras

[versed compass]

lmao witch king teleported yato s3 to cycle him self one more time

[hot rampart]

he did that but my yato on s2

[versed compass]

i actually just let him teleport yato

she end up cycling his mobs

yato + black hole is way too broke holy

[versed compass]

no way kafka s2 usage

[ebon sphinx]

https://vxtwitter.com/walabemoti2/status/1790980915092721964?t=dt8Y6R1k0OcmsCy_pP1XnQ&s=19

[versed compass]

ok appearntly

you can aak your friends in coop event

[violet vortex]

Mule Dorothy really meshed well with this event’s mechanic

Of hitting that thing a billion times to kill the boss

[ebon sphinx]

The 5th anniversary went along with a carnival in Shanghai. The duration also overlapped with an exhibition that Honkai: Star Rail was holding. Which sounds like nothing out of the ordinary...were it not for the fact that they were prepared for such a thing and had bought up the entire banner space of the venue along the way, meaning that people on their way to the other exhibition were just seeing Arknights ads! lol power flex

this is also Shanghai, which means that's a lot of money

[tardy vigil]

Shanghai takes in ads, Shanghai pays in Walter pulls

also SSS is hecking cringe

it sends stupid almost unbeatable elites that stun/bypass my blockers and expect me to win them somehow with my E1 units

well, I guess I should stack buffs. But if I replace my 3 useful operators the rest cant keep up - so they have to sit there buffless

[ebon sphinx]

eh, you can ignore it for now, or well, forever

i sure did

[tardy vigil]

surely I will run out of mats one day

but definitely not soon

[hot rampart]

dw about it that mode fucking sucks ball nobody likes it

(i do tho)

[tardy vigil]

🫵🏿 nobody detected

[hot rampart]

[versed compass]

you can borrow for SSS

just borrow a hard carry and feed him your trash

think someone cleared one with just mlynar + vg stacks

(yes i know mly have anti synergy with sp gain but he dont need full charge to murder )

[hot rampart]

i like borrowing chong yue

issue is he doesnt hit drones

[versed compass]

he does

on s2

[tardy vigil]

I borrowed reedalter and she did jack shit

probably because problem was not killing enemies but them running past jessicat for no reason

[ebon sphinx]

her insane damage is when her skills are up iirc

[versed compass]

thats like every op

it depend on the stacking type

with solo carries you want sp stackings

thats why mlynar goes 5 vg instead of using guard stacks for damage

[civic linden]

Ifrit pls

[tardy vigil]

[civic linden]

Only aak left from old 6* that i want

[tardy vigil]

how many top operator recruitment you have seen total on your acc

[versed compass]

i stopped counting after 15

[tardy vigil]

waaaa

[civic linden]

Uh..around 6 or 7 (been playing for aroung a year)

[hot rampart]

countless cuz i never count anymore

[willow nymph]

Meanwhile me at 4

(Been playing since release)

[hot rampart]

ones i remember : 3 pots of chen(she is pot 6 now), pot 7 siege , 4 pots of ifrit , pot 1 suzu and mostima from it ones i dont remember is like scattered randomly of 1 pots

ouh yeah recently another pot for nightingale

[tardy vigil]

Unbelievable

I should try texalter s2 instead of s3

[willow nymph]

You should try doing the new annis btw

They're about as hard as anni3 but you get to play more maps and see more mechanics

[sharp tartan]

https://youtu.be/dFy0rYapFkw?si=hYOM7DGXh2dEel1f

[violet vortex]

Why would you swap her off skill 3 for an anni that has crushers that she hard locks

[willow nymph]

Also s3 hits drone

Like literally

Catching drone leaks happen a fair bit

[violet vortex]

I very rarely swap off s3 it’s just broken for majority of cases

[willow nymph]

S2 is just when i need res shred to do damage

Rest of the time s3 works

[hot rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/kiryu-kazuma-kazuma-kiryu-yakuza-kiryu-crying-yakuza-the-man-who-erased-his-name-gif-2024513065743748092

[tardy vigil]

I tried the one with grass - casters burned it, everything exploded and I left it with 150

[tardy vigil]

my bot side is solo cheeto + tanks + stainless atk% = cant beat heavy units, but 0 drone leaks

[tardy vigil]

it hard locks them but doesnt kill

[versed compass]

ya texas is like 95% s3 5% s2

[versed compass]

i mean s2 did not kill this one either it seems

[fluid verge]

Man anni3 stage clears

It's been so long

Bruh CN banner has degen right after waltuh

They really want us to pull

[ebon sphinx]

your problem, not mine

[hot rampart]

talk about milking playerbase dry

makes me worried about ulpianus power level being mid so HG can avoid accusations of "powercreeping this fast"

[willow nymph]

I mean no one complains about logos

because 5 years / upgrade is kinda slow

[tardy vigil]

it was with s3

[fluid verge]

150 pulls

[quaint arch]

"Finally, a Better Caster after all these years"

Fire Sheep can go to bed for all i care

[fluid verge]

In 150 pulls, I got waltuh, rosmontis, Texas2, and a dupe kastit

[quaint arch]

Till Fire Sheep came back as Water Sheep

[fluid verge]

Doko logos

[willow nymph]

Ouh yeah

120 waltuh logos

100% skill

[quaint arch]

Ahh yes... Luck is a Skill indeed

[fluid verge]

Texas 2 is still a good pick up but logoless feelsbad

[willow nymph]

The diff between cn and en

💀

[quaint arch]

Not limited

Just get Spooked by him instead

[willow nymph]

Im at 180 no tutu 5 offrate 2 vivi

[quaint arch]

Oof

[fluid verge]

That's painful lmfao

[quaint arch]

Why calling Virtuosa a Tutu tho?

[willow nymph]

Last en lim banner was 300 to spark my first swire

Shu in 40

[fluid verge]

P6 war criminal this time went really well

Got her p6 in exactly 300 with spark

[willow nymph]

Also ela in free pulls

Cos why not

[quaint arch]

Such Skill

[willow nymph]

Ikr

[quaint arch]

Can we get Chapter 14 asap?
Aka. make it come in 4.5th Global Anniversary?

[willow nymph]

Ch14 is pogged af

[quaint arch]

We can delay CNY Banner, rite?

[willow nymph]

Best chapter gameplay wise imo

[quaint arch]

[willow nymph]

Such a shame h14-4 is kinda broken

And that roadblocks are 7*

[quaint arch]

What? That "Whirlpool that is Passion" thingy?

[willow nymph]

Like i love that theres a roadblock h14
I hate that you can use them to kill the boss

[quaint arch]

||What did the Roadblock blocks Microdust and take no damage from it???||

[willow nymph]

Because boss has a timer except ... roadblocks can remove the way to progress it

[quaint arch]

Oh... that

[willow nymph]

Yeah but like

Boss does jack other than this

[quaint arch]

Mob Stage all over again

[willow nymph]

So it removes the map timer

[willow nymph]

Cute little ||patriot|| normal enemy

[versed compass]

next caster power creep will be in anniver 10

enjoy your logos until then

[versed compass]

some mf on cn pulled

wisadel + logos + texas + lin in 50 pulls

[willow nymph]

isok

as long as i have the ops

[quaint arch]

Watch as them get offrates for the next 10 6* Pulls

[willow nymph]

you don't need to watch that

[willow nymph]

I'm already halfway there

💀

[quaint arch]

I don't mean you

[versed compass]

at least he is sorry

[quaint arch]

Nah, idk bout that

[willow nymph]

[quaint arch]

Ahhh... my first limited banner experience

120 Pulls for Mudrock then Kitty

[willow nymph]

my first lim experience is 185 pulls to get weedy
before was 5 offrates

[versed compass]

the only limited with insane luck i had is like ros/mud

[willow nymph]

that wwe was terrific

💀

[versed compass]

WWE was indeed terrific

[quaint arch]

I wished it was Kitty first then Mudrock

[versed compass]

231 pulls for my target

is not ok

[willow nymph]

is not 300+sparked

[quaint arch]

Oh wait... i would've stopped pulling if i pulled Kitty first

[willow nymph]

[quaint arch]

[versed compass]

i sparked anyway

[willow nymph]

no no useless i mean
no 6* lim at300

and spark first copy

[versed compass]

i know what you mean

i just dont have that level of skull issue

[willow nymph]

[versed compass]

its actually the worst i ever get on limited banner

[willow nymph]

technically the lim banner i had the highest luck on is Ling's

because i got 2 archetto

[versed compass]

the second worst was like 150ish for gavial or eyja

[willow nymph]

and said fuck it

sparked dusk in ling

[versed compass]

second highest luck is actually this banner

[willow nymph]

so dusk in 40 pulls

[versed compass]

got vivi + new typhon in 50

and went out

[willow nymph]

ling took 230 herself

[versed compass]

then got a nearl pot later in free pulls

[quaint arch]

Gib

[versed compass]

no

[quaint arch]

I want it

For Full Pot

[versed compass]

just farm the red cert

when it drop

it was guard/spec i think

[quaint arch]

I will when the Event Ends

But i need to Max Pot Diamante first

[tardy vigil]

This is so over

Those shits have weight 1 therefore Typhon ignores them if anyone is on the ground

[hot rampart]

my first ever limited experience ( W banner ) is kinda good i think

i got pot 6 W pre 300 pulls

and i had to spark for weedy

[hot rampart]

i went 151 pulls on that banner

pot 5 rosmontis

mudrock on 151th pulls

[quaint arch]

Dang

Where's the last Pot?

[hot rampart]

not gonna bother

idc about rosmontis

[quaint arch]

Especially even more after Walter White reveal?

[hot rampart]

honestly

way before

her kit is like someone went on to lobotomize her after giving her good chunk of damage

Wisadel is basically giving her fuckatons amount of damage AND DOES NOT LOBOTOMIZE HER FOR IT

[quaint arch]

*Walter White

You can't change my mind

[hot rampart]

archetype that does aftershocks multi hit damage for trait?

yeah give her the highest DPH potential possible, nothing absolutely wrong with that

[quaint arch]

"This... is not Math" - Walter White

Huge Explosion afterwards

[versed compass]

wisadel ignored her own archtype completely

can even hit air cause fuck you

[hot rampart]

me when potential for good numbers is given good numbers

i was shocked to learn mlynar base attack is 300

[versed compass]

cant wait for mlynar module

to have dog shit effects

but still be good

cause 30 attack

[hot rampart]

u cant have dog shit effects thats not how module works

good operators already have good functioning talents
module will just give said good talent more numbers and they will be good

[versed compass]

mlynar have pretty bad talent actually

the reflect one

is like super whatever

[quaint arch]

"You're * * * * * * nuts!" - Rosmontis Fans
"Wanna find out?" - Walter White

[hot rampart]

ouh yeah

if 1st module buff that telent

then wait for 2nd module

[versed compass]

fartooth modules both buffed same talent

[hot rampart]

base effect lvl 1

[versed compass]

[quaint arch]

But it's also tied with Taunt

[hot rampart]

god damn fartooth is like

god

whoever simps for fartooth have my condolences

[versed compass]

heres module X

heres module X but worse

[hot rampart]

[quaint arch]

Therefore Talent 2 carried by Taunt addition

Surely HIPPO will fix their mistakes, rite?

[versed compass]

i cant wait for chalter to have module

where her ammo buff become hand buff

[quaint arch]

Hand Buff?

What is this?

[versed compass]

like eyja/schwars

[hot rampart]

chance not to consume ammo

[quaint arch]

Bludcraft SV Mechanic?

[versed compass]

where they buff without being deployed

[quaint arch]

What'll they do with the Talents Traits tho?

[hot rampart]

giving wisadel more chance to not consume ammo

[versed compass]

thats the talent buff i mean

[quaint arch]

Sorry, typo

[versed compass]

hey look chalter back to meta

+2 ammo on wis

broken

[hot rampart]

[quaint arch]

Nah, i'd rather use Hunters Squad

[hot rampart]

trait dmg from 150% attack increase to 160% i think

which is good

[versed compass]

it count in some IS3 stages

clearly good

[quaint arch]

No, it's not

Remove Conditional Effects

Then we good

[versed compass]

thats actually horrible

she already remove conditional effects from skills

[quaint arch]

Wdym?

[hot rampart]

cap

[tardy vigil]

upgraded lapp skill lvl 6 to 7

hopefully it is enough

[quaint arch]

Petition to change the DEF to ATK

[hot rampart]

actually busted talent ngl

(for his archetype

attack recovery sp with better range? can hit air?

[quaint arch]

Can Hit Air
Nah, that's more of R6 Hidden trait

[versed compass]

speaking of top op

old man escaped but honestly dont mind skadi/blaze pots

[tribal thicket]

Done with ZTS stages

All I can say is

Fuck the Witch King lmao

[tardy vigil]

maybe instead of myrtle

I should get a fang

I deploy my whole team at 60 enemies anyway

all she does is just make me click her all time

12th try of 399 gaming \

[wanton stratus]

What is black hole?

[hot rampart]

the device

[wanton stratus]

The aspect of creation?

[tardy vigil]

I give up

This shit is unbeatable to me

4 hours well spent

I see 0 insight on how to clear the stage of Ashy March besides "borrow mylnar + place 5 defenders healing each other. + 3 medics"

[willow nymph]

Intercept shit

Also its literally a typhon anni

[hot rampart]

https://fxtwitter.com/TabOjisan/status/1791036734874194227?t=gxO57PLKx513DnOVTscIfg&s=19

[wanton stratus]

Kafka E1+ finally useful

It’s a miracle

[violet vortex]

S2 wouldn’t instant kill a crusher either. And it doesn’t need to kill in one use

Isn’t that anni like ancient

I remember doing it like when I came back over a year ago

Can’t even find what I used it’s so long ago

Pretty sure that anni is older than almost all the current carry ops besides like Silverash

Texas alone is like 5 units worth of whatever was being used in those times

You could even just place your team back slightly further so you can put a 2nd sniper under the cover of 2 healers

Can’t imagine many things survive Typhon in the first place though

https://youtube.com/@drsilvergun?si=IXEALjgk0VzK20ZH @tardy vigil watch some of this guy’s stuff

Doesn’t have to be as a guide but it’s good to see the power of 4*s

When you watch carry guides you’re passively developing extreme opinions on power levels/powercreep

[tough matrix]

now I don't have to worry

[violet vortex]

In terms of how weak what you have is & how strong whatever the big carry unit is

Ignoring that you have Texas who trivializes most things & Typhon that shines in long stages

4* clears can at least be a reminder that you never don’t have the tools to beat something on your account

Wait, don’t you also have Vir, why aren’t you using her

[wanton stratus]

Silverash was a launch operator and Anni 3 was in the game since launch as well

[violet vortex]

Then I was right

[civic linden]

at what part does your defenses start to crumble? and what especifically is giving you trouble?

[tardy vigil]

I tried to use lin instead of cheeto

because she does 0 damage to armored dudes

[tardy vigil]

it doesnt? just someone leaks last wave

obv its bottom crushers leaking where cheeto cant do shit and jessica cant solo carry

[tardy vigil]

Problem is the clear is unreliable and I have to watch out

Speaking of - I got an idea. Even 2 ideas

[mossy tinsel]

I don't wanna do ZT-S-3

[violet vortex]

What’s wrong with it

I thought this event was on the easier side

Since the mechanic does a lot of the work

[mossy tinsel]

It's super difficult and the all the timings are really sensitive...

Screw this mission. I finally did it.

[violet vortex]

I like having someone near the blue boxes always in range to hit the orb

[willow nymph]

I remember when anni was the endgame

[wanton stratus]

Me too, it was another age

[hot rampart]

https://fxtwitter.com/secondfuton/status/1791281641362423994?t=moewe4qZaaKDeSXSQV2yMA&s=19

[mossy tinsel]

I would punch him in the face without end. Only to be fueled by my undying hatred.

What is it?

KFC?

[ebon sphinx]

yes

[tribal thicket]

Old squad vs new squad

[wanton stratus]

Which anni stage is that?

[willow nymph]

How did you fail an anni with below squad

Actually

[hot rampart]

shit happened

[wanton stratus]

Skill
H
Issue
T

[tribal thicket]

The anni with the fireball guys

[tribal thicket]

Just bad placements cos first-timing and not knowing whats going to spawn in here

[wanton stratus]

I was just taking the piss, don’t worry

[wanton stratus]

Finally done with ZT-S-3 CM. It was a bit rough with 7 dead weight ops on the team, and not being able to E2 Virtuosa

[wanton stratus]

Does this actually do anything though?

[hot rampart]

i would say so

[wanton stratus]

The funny pull/push showcases I remember seeing only use sleep to argument enemy push/pull behavior

[hot rampart]

u cant pull and retreat someone and the enemy keeping said momentum without being blocked to pass through the puller og position

[wanton stratus]

Aw

[hot rampart]

this is

especially relevant

[wanton stratus]

Why HG

[hot rampart]

in the football game

where u pull the ball

supposedly

[wanton stratus]

Did they nerf pullers because of the mini game?

Bruh

[hot rampart]

no fucking clue when pusher is not affected

pusher dont have a projectile that just

keeps pushing after they done their push

while pullers have this pulling projectile coming from em

[wanton stratus]

I see

Still tho

Why nerf that

[hot rampart]

no fucking clue

[wanton stratus]

Hg Stoopid

[hot rampart]

stoopi

[willow nymph]

it's so dumb if you retreat a puller it stops the ball NET

I hate this update

also if you have 2 pullers and only retreat one it does nothing

like say use e2 1 sl1 s2 almond and you can do the trick

[tardy vigil]

AK fandom is wild

[hot rampart]

what

so how does this vtuber related to AK

talking about her lewds

[tardy vigil]

Mb

I thought it's AK

[wanton stratus]

What

What did I miss?

[tardy vigil]

Video about some vtuber didn't like how people draw some "anime name" lewd

I thought it's about AK because I have heard of controversial lewd there, and it's anime face + obstute name

And obviously didn't watch - but Kama called it out

[wanton stratus]

I don’t remember any controversial AK lewds, but okay…

[tardy vigil]

AK iceberg video wasn't as wholesome as I imagined

[wanton stratus]

Which iceberg video are you referring to?

[tardy vigil]

https://youtu.be/2CKHuxgdb1Q?si=_I2qkz81lKz2Rt6E

[wanton stratus]

Oh

I had apparently forgotten to put that vid in my watch later playlist, so thank you

I got around to it now

[tardy vigil]

Enough internet for today

[willow nymph]

yeah terrible pun operator

if only that was the main problem

[tardy vigil]

everything with her is a problem

besides damage numbers, those are crazy

me defending my viviana from haters

[violet vortex]

We’ve already surpassed Chen several times for being a dumb broken op

[tardy vigil]

If only this was her only problem...

[fluid verge]

Her base skin was meh

Her new skin is 🔥

So good

[versed compass]

[hot rampart]

ouh its this showcase

[wanton stratus]

Where were you when pull was kill?

[willow nymph]

it's because of coop because pullers were a wee bit broken in soccer mode

[versed compass]

actuall nerf in ak

[wanton stratus]

HG are dumb

[hot rampart]

broken in what way

is it just becuz of their "pull" range vs pusher range being 1 tile ahead of em

[ebon sphinx]

EX done...just S stages

[versed compass]

small tip

enemies die when killed in S stages

[quaint arch]

Thanks

Such tips that @versed compass would told

[ebon sphinx]

thanks dad

just as useful as you were while i grew up

[willow nymph]

broken as in easy instant goals

ball is low weight so pullers just instantly make the ball get yoinked wherever you want by retreating

unlike pushers that are always one directional

[hot rampart]

yeah pullers range like gladiia and cliff has like

3x3 pull range tile

still dont think it warrant a nerf tho

[mossy tinsel]

What's her background story? What did she do exactly?

[hot rampart]

her music arts just makes people around her do what they desire in their heart
can be good or bad things
either can lead to their death

[ebon sphinx]

and unfortunately her own arts has eroded her own emotions. She ended up causing the death of her mother since she ended up becoming a war correspondent. She feels regretful over not doing more to prevent her death

[versed compass]

so the only way to use her in IS is to play (as your heart desire) early recruits

[mossy tinsel]

Oh. That sounds really dangerous, especially when it affects degen doktahs like some of us here.

[ebon sphinx]

in a way, Arturia and Federico are two sides of the same coin. Both of them have dulled emotions but they have ended up on separate paths

[ebon sphinx]

funny, S-5-CM wasnt that troublesome but that requires understanding how exactly the boss works

[tough matrix]

manipulator
gaslighter
accidental murder
burying body under the holy church (probably)

[tribal thicket]

if evil why hot

[tardy vigil]

She does feel the emotions of people a lot and he doesn't

Is it a sin to stop farming event, I have 65 each mat already

[versed compass]

65 is too little

[ebon sphinx]

thats the thing, both of them have dulled emotions, but while Federico uses cold hard logic to compensate, she uses her arts to draw out emotions from others

[tardy vigil]

65 should be enough for 2-3 months

By that time I really don't care

Lowlight attempted to do the Gladiia pull + retreat strategy

Seems like he doesn't know that pullers got nerfed

Twitter · May 19, 2024, 1:35 PM

[wanton stratus]

Good

Let him suffer

[quaint arch]

How come that happen?
I thought Lowlight is the Lead Director of the Game

[wanton stratus]

Gah

ZT-S-5 is annoying

[hot rampart]

what does W have anything to do with

[ebon sphinx]

as a tip, when damaged a certain amount, he teleports the two closest operators in range. Can be baited

[wanton stratus]

Tryna gaslight me, huh?

[wanton stratus]

Actually, what I’m struggling most with is trying to defend the blue box in the middle with a single operator

[ebon sphinx]

its recommended to use Blaze because she has status resistance against those stunning bonkers

[wanton stratus]

Uh

Who kills the enemies, then?

They stun on every attack

[ebon sphinx]

your other operators?

at least one clear i saw had Blaze be backed up by Chongers, Thorns and Exia

[hot rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-breaking-bad-smiling-grin-happy-gif-26553897

[wanton stratus]

Like I said, I’m trying to hold the middle with a single operator

Which might not be possible

[hot rampart]

yeah i would say so

when those stunners spawn that lane need some extra help involving some form of ranged dps

or a disabler

[wanton stratus]

Oh yeah, Sexas does help with mid

[hot rampart]

i actually just used

executor tho

he killed those stunners when skill up on the left side and solo dps king lasagna

phase 2

[wanton stratus]

I’m trying to use executor for the top blue box

But you’re right

Maybe I should put him middle instead

[hot rampart]

uh middle is the

honestly i just used blaze

i brought W to

stun them as well

2 can play this game

this is not W gaslighting

i legit use W cuz the middle arena spawns is so jumbled up its prime W s3 explosion

[wanton stratus]

Damn

If only I had W and not just her 24 OP skin

[tardy vigil]

I have W

She don't do damage at e1 lvl 1

[willow nymph]

omw to bring e0 1 waltuh and complain she doesn't kill the map

[tardy vigil]

She kills the map

[hot rampart]

still useful as some stunbot

[civic linden]

i used thorns with some support from astegeene

on first wave of stun guys gravel tanked the bottom one for a few seconds to help a bit more

honestly the first time i saw that area i though "damm this is 100% designed for mlynar"

tho i think mlynar gets absolutely destroyed by the teleport mechanic so not really i guess

[wanton stratus]

Who’s Młynar?

ExeCUTEr was the answer

He has been so incredible this event

[civic linden]

woah only 5 ops

i used a whole ass squad

[wanton stratus]

All the dead weight ops were more useful than usual in baiting the mark of insipidity

[wanton stratus]

Trust farm for life

[civic linden]

My strat looked like this

carnellian tanked the boss the whole way

[wanton stratus]

Whoa, Tequila

[civic linden]

yeah in hardmode thorns needed a bit more damage so i slapped tequilla there

was actually the perfect amount of dp for me to place carnellian before the boss teleported near the others

[hot rampart]

my fucking god dude u are trying to low op this ????

why do i keep forgetting u are always trying to low op dammit i feel rude

fckn e1 virtuosa too

[willow nymph]

lowest op is executor + the 2 executors

actually not sure if there is a ling clear

probably

[hot rampart]

why wouldnt there be

[hot rampart]

not surprised

event is pretty easy if u just figure out king lasagna entire gimmick

and him teleporting operators is just

2 fast redeploy check

and guess what 2 fast redeploy is being used constantly

[willow nymph]

why is arkrec down

[willow nymph]

not really

just plop 2 ops that do shit no matter where they are

or have 2 wasted deploy slots

[hot rampart]

thats basically it yeah

im just saying its easier with fast redeploy cuz they are deadass what being last 2 deployed is most of the time

[wanton stratus]

I didn’t have the big supporter chips sadly, so this is what I’m stuck with until after the event

[hot rampart]

@hallow garnet ouh yeah regarding wuwa
my hope right now is basically just hoping the launch wont be a disaster like global pgr did (and CN pgr way back then) lazy to go to sv general channel for this talk

[hallow garnet]

dont think so. launch gifts look very promising, schedule seems okay too. unless their servers burn up day 1 it should be fine. also we need a wuwa thread ig

@heavy whale keep an eye out for this pls

[heavy whale]

Zajeff said cbt2 had ALOT of gamebreaking bugs

[hallow garnet]

no i mean we need a thread

cuz im sure many of us will try day 1

so dont leave it for last minute

[heavy whale]

Ariel creator and abandoner of threads

[hot rampart]

maybe tomorrow? cuz its a day or two before

[hot rampart]

it is what it is

seen it a lot of time in a different server but it helps

[hallow garnet]

you create them

i just request them

and aside MAYBE pgr the rest are still alive

im just not in them anymore

😄

[hot rampart]

its active for like first few days then tend to just

unactive with one or two person tryna making it alive

[hallow garnet]

thats not on me

but better to have a thread then have it die than to offtopic in random places

[hot rampart]

ye just saying in general

ouh wow princess connect

thread

[violet vortex]

Why would you do that instead of the opposite

Defend the middle with every op except 1-2 on left or right lane

CM took 2 attempts for me with that

[tardy vigil]

why you talk about lauch gifts?

they literally doesnt matter

• launch first region with 40 chests, each giving 50 gems
• lauch first region with 30 chests, each giving 20 gems - BUT LAUCH GIFFS 1400 GEMS WOWOWEEE

[hallow garnet]

have you missed the 5* selector, the 5* wep selector and the beginner banner guarantee selector?

[tardy vigil]

I really dont care about any of those

1.0 5* probably suck

hsr had great 1.0 4*

[hallow garnet]

why are u so negative again?

[tardy vigil]

like give TY 40 more atk and 80 more hp and she is a 5*

[hallow garnet]

i dont get it

[tardy vigil]

because games shouldnt get bugs!

we should focus on those!

[hallow garnet]

it was beta

im sure it's fixed

but yea we'll see

[tardy vigil]

I hate new games all being bugged out of existance

and I hate this gift talk

in genshin

game doesnt suck because of gifts

game isnt great because of gifts

it sucks because its bad game
it is good because it is good game

not because devs gave you 50 pulls on the lever

[hallow garnet]

verina is mega op

btw

and supports being strong is nice

[tardy vigil]

hsr has weapon selector from 1.0 btw, you just need 600 dust

[hallow garnet]

not really the same thing

[tardy vigil]

and this feature is kinda low impact

[hallow garnet]

cuz wuwa has that too

and you get a free 5* of choice

without spending shit

it's nice

im not saying it changes anything if the game is bugged

im saying all this with the assumption that there wont be bugs

[tardy vigil]

sure

[hallow garnet]

and just bc you dont care for gifts, others do

[tardy vigil]

for me it is really of low importance

I would literally reroll if I wanted

[hallow garnet]

and thats your business

[tardy vigil]

I probably will if I start playing lmao

[hallow garnet]

reroll for what exactly

just how early you get it?

[tardy vigil]

first limited banner?

how they monetize the game

[hallow garnet]

well go ahead

jiyan aint that impressive to warrant reroll malding on

banner system is the same as genshin's

just lower pity

and higher rate

[tardy vigil]

I am concerned not even about bugs - I am sure live service game would clear those out

[hallow garnet]

so then what is this all about then?

[tardy vigil]

QoL

[hallow garnet]

if they fixed the echo system i'll be happy

if not then i wont be playing

that simple

for me

[tardy vigil]

or rather beloved by gacha games worsens of life features

[tardy vigil]

what is it?

[hallow garnet]

artifacts

but also pokemon summons

[tardy vigil]

[hallow garnet]

anyway this is heavy offtopic here

@heavy whale make that damn wuwa thread already

[tardy vigil]

AK has poor QoL

[hallow garnet]

most gachas have poor qol

[heavy whale]

[hallow garnet]

cause they can get away with it

and they can seem like they "improve" when they implement obvious qol years later

[tardy vigil]

I hope they all go broke or go QoL

[hallow garnet]

they wont

[tardy vigil]

because HSR does a lot of shit right

and sets a standard for the industry

even AK pulls up smth

[tardy vigil]

real

[hallow garnet]

they have to

hsr has competition

and it's barebones game

[tardy vigil]

and here is hsr improving every 3 months

[hallow garnet]

that has nothing going on for it

[tardy vigil]

wdym

[hallow garnet]

besides number simulator autobattle

it lacks any kind of skill expression

and the combat is really boring

[tardy vigil]

majority dont need skill expressions

[hallow garnet]

turn based game with 2 skills per unit

like

pls

it's a joke

ANYWAY

[tardy vigil]

dozens of thousands copy "afk guide" in AK

[hallow garnet]

thats on them

but ak very much has skill expression

for the players who want it

and IS provides even more variety

[tardy vigil]

game does not need to "compensate for lack of skill expression" when 90% of the playerbase never notice it

90% being low estimate

[tardy vigil]

hsr has the same mode

and it is also fun and varied

and improves

I dont understand why hsr is barebones and have nothing for it

[hallow garnet]

cause the combat is ass boring

set it to auto and forget about it

[tardy vigil]

AK isnt based on an anime either

[hallow garnet]

but this is just my opinion

[tardy vigil]

combat is engaging for a lot of people at the beginning

[hallow garnet]

then good for them

[tardy vigil]

and later on it isnt a problem as they WANT auto

[hallow garnet]

i found it abysmal after a while

SU is also a chore

cuz u have to farm it

imejin if u had to farm IS

cuz it has stuff u cant get anywhere else

[tardy vigil]

SU has deeper modes with more shit

[hallow garnet]

yes but the grind being forced

is my problem with it

the expansion modes are fun indeed

thats the only fun part of the game

[tardy vigil]

it takes 5 min with acheron

least of gacha sins

[hallow garnet]

"roll X thing to circumvent the tedious chore we threw your way"

not a fan of that

[tardy vigil]

they promised to fix it

[hallow garnet]

i mean idc about hsr

[tardy vigil]

and a lot of gachas have a lot of chores

[hallow garnet]

game can be good or bad

i quit and im not goin back

[tardy vigil]

AK being among the biggest offenders

[tardy vigil]

they exist in the industry

[hallow garnet]

ak does have the stupid base

[tardy vigil]

and the industry is better be packed with good competition

[hallow garnet]

other than that it's fine

now

[tardy vigil]

• most infamous gacha scam out there

• has same rate up as AK limited

[ebon sphinx]

the only time its worth it is when both of the rate up weapons are bonkers

[tardy vigil]

Except hard pity is 240

[ebon sphinx]

which is rare

[fluid verge]

kektone spending 2k for 1 copy

[tardy vigil]

So it's better then AK

[ebon sphinx]

you also need to take into account daily income

[tardy vigil]

Genshin gives 50 pulls per patch + 90 pulls per new region

(full f2p)

AK gives less

And AK pulls are more expensive per $$

[fluid verge]

AK pulls dont feel like dog shit cuz 95% of an operators power is already there in the first copy

[sharp tartan]

Yeah but you dont pull for goddamn swords in ak

[tardy vigil]

In AK you can expect some 6* every 35 pulls, so you get something in quantities

But hard pity on limited is even worse then genshin

[strong rampart]

AK has infinite orundum farm via base

Quit complaining and start grinding

[tardy vigil]

It's only 10 pulls per month

[violet vortex]

It doesn’t take long to have enough for nearly everything you want

• 0 dupe value

It doesn’t matter if you “don’t need dupes” in genshin/hsr, fact remains that parts of the character are locked off

Whereas that is not the case in AK at all

Alongside their being 0 things like weapons in the first place

Don’t know what your point would be either. Nearly everyone else here has been playing long enough to not agree with you for one reason or another

[tardy vigil]

To share my experiences as a new player encountering limited banner?

[violet vortex]

The one you got both the limited & the best off banner limited?

[tardy vigil]

The one I spend a bunch of money on and got lucky

[hot rampart]

limited banner really are just meant to possibly suck a player dry off 300 pulls

u have to be really unlucky to achieve this

[violet vortex]

Talking about a hard pity you both didn’t reach & many also don’t is not a strong point

[tardy vigil]

Yea true

[hot rampart]

limited banners are just meants for HG to print more money and a higher ceiling for spenders to spend more money

[tardy vigil]

But you need to get really unlucky on genshin's weapon too

[hot rampart]

arknights limited banner actually give players a alot surplus amount of pulls if u dont need to reach hard pity in limited banners

precisely also when u dont care about said limited banners in the first place which happens alot in AK

[tardy vigil]

Difference is, as Grim mentioned, in AK you pull for 100% of the character compared to pulling for copies/banner that are extra text and 10% of the character - while getting the character itself for 90% is much more manageable

[tardy vigil]

Yes, AK system is good if you don't care

[hot rampart]

gacha system is good if u simply dont care

but comes a difference between pulling a character once and fully got said character capability vs pulling a character with some of its ability locked behind some dupes / weapons

[violet vortex]

You only have 12 in a team & they’re often overkill for a stage

Even assuming you completely avoid characters lower rarity than 6 for some reason it doesn’t take long to fill that team

[hot rampart]

the later being will cost u way more pulls if u try to do that for specific characters

ofc u can just

[violet vortex]

And there are gonna be tons of units to skip because they’re outdated/bad/ugly

[hot rampart]

"i can just get the character and skip the weapon or whatever"

just extra layer of coping mechanism ontop of the first "i dont care"

[tardy vigil]

Lol

Those weapons are not needed at all

• in AK you don't even need every character
• not needing weapon and dupes is cope

[hot rampart]

both is cope

except not needing weapon and dupes is an extra layer

[tardy vigil]

I believe getting weapons in genshin makes your gameplay worse

It is like launching re7 and setting "super easy" difficulty

[hot rampart]

i actually have this view on some meta characters in AK

[violet vortex]

The games themselves are already set to that by default

Mhy doesn’t make hard games they make interesting earlygames

Before you inevitably overpower any & all balance through gear, 5star/select 4star teams, & dupes

Where they will use poor difficulty upscaling tactics like just hyperboosting the effective hp or adding more invul phases

None of which actually do anything besides make things a little more tedious

[hot rampart]

arknights also just have

a limited every 3 month

where as moyoyo games
every character banner seems to be limited except for the first cast of characters being a permanent stay in the pool

[tardy vigil]

As if having shit in the permanent pool is meaningful in AK

Sure it's better then getting useless-here dupes

[hot rampart]

in terms of gacha tbh both are quite equally garbage with extra woe and le pull currency gain difference of whatever and so does as others gachas out there (except pgr actually )

but AK specifically with the existence of gold certificate shop and top op recruitment u have other ways to get characters after supposedly skipping them or new players coming in late

limited is also obtainable past their banners

just save 300 pulls its not that hard especially with the sense of ability to skipping every other standards(cuz u dont care about them mostly) and u can get them later if interested through the gold certificate shop after 1 and a half year later

[violet vortex]

This is kind of why I asked what the point was

You’re making more absolute comments when all your personal experience is as someone who has barely played the game

Making those absolutes anywhere from wrong to emotionally exaggerated

[hot rampart]

i pick no sides and just want to point out limited banner is just HG ways to print more profit

[violet vortex]

I’ve played all 3 games and all 3 can reach the point of getting whatever you want if you save long enough

Big difference is AK has no additional attachments, & you’re likely to get the thing you want with less

I was not referring to you kama

[hot rampart]
