[violet vortex]

You’re not new

[hot rampart]

👴

[violet vortex]

Like obviously someone is gonna be at odds with a gacha system of a several year old game when they first start it

I also didn’t like not getting what I wanted month 1

[tardy vigil]

Pgr is more generous?

[hot rampart]

u can get every character u want

60 pulls hard pity

AND

that banner only have said SSR

no other spooks

WITH genshin rates btw (0.5%)

[tardy vigil]

Makes wuwa even more interesting

[hot rampart]

uhh

haha no...

this gacha companies are driven by profit

[tardy vigil]

Yes but it depends on where they get the profits

[hot rampart]

i shamely said pgr but i can feel in their bones that they regret making pgr gacha rate the way they are

[tardy vigil]

There are leviathans who donate for shit like weapon banners

[hot rampart]

thats why they just made wuwa rates follows genshin rates and pity "but slightly better rates numbers"

[tardy vigil]

Wuwa comes in much more contested niche (literally genshin) so they need to look good

[hot rampart]

and slightly lower pity

[tardy vigil]

Oh

Whatever

[hot rampart]

ye

[tardy vigil]

Surely endfield soon

[hot rampart]

due to very low hard pity requirement and uh typical weapon gacha banner

whales actually had no much to spend much for

less profit for kuro

then they introduced pets as an extra banner thing ontop of weapons existing

[tardy vigil]

Nice

[hot rampart]

legit can see they want to maximize profit without trying to "betray" their existing playerbase by introducing some limited banner shits like other gacha they go with the pet route instead

[violet vortex]

There is also the most important point of all though
It doesn’t really matter which game gives more funbucks

They’re different games

[hot rampart]

ye true

[violet vortex]

One’s gameplay could be complete ass

It doesn’t matter if they give 10x ak’s currency for their shitty autobattler

Time is a limited resource

[hot rampart]

gacha is actually an afterthought for these players

real reason to play is actually what this games offer

is it gameplay / story / gooning / easy daily chores or something

[violet vortex]

And a lot of people’s lives are spent doing majority shit they don’t want to do

Entertainment has to be entertaining

[tardy vigil]

My initial point had nothing to do with the gameplay, no need to get so defensive

[hot rampart]

just pointing it out

[tardy vigil]

They all use the lever and they all will be judged by it

[hot rampart]

going into a casino and surprised its a casino

the house always win

[tardy vigil]

I don't know why gatchas don't simply sell gun skins

[hot rampart]

TRUUUEEE

[tardy vigil]

It isn't much work and funds biggest shooters out there

[hot rampart]

i think nikke and azurlane sorta does this profit by skin?

nikke has skin gacha that will cost someone like

50 usd idk

actually scrap nikke cuz their gacha is uh still typical gacha thing

azurlane is closer being generous of u can get every character u want thing

but at the same time they release shitton of skins per content update

and thats what whales mostly spent on

[tardy vigil]

Does AK event end today?

[hot rampart]

theres still last day after reset

thats the final day

[tardy vigil]

I still didn't beat the 7th stage

Of second difficulty

[hot rampart]

skip it

this event rerun u can come back to it later

[tardy vigil]

I have a few ideas about it

Typhon s2 gets more and more useless on the hard content, probably because I don't have appropriate stall for it

Or maybe s3 is too strong

[hot rampart]

yeah becuz it actually has shit dps

[tardy vigil]

I remember someone saying to me here Typhon has a great dps

[hot rampart]

she does

[tardy vigil]

Sure...

[hot rampart]

it falls flat when an enemy has a lot of hp

cuz a lot of her dmg comes from boosted dph of 1st hit

talent

[tardy vigil]

It is good when she procs talent 2 with each shot

But that narrows down scenarios where it is good

[hot rampart]

she also isnt as good against group of enemies

both s2 and s3

[violet vortex]

I used typhon s2 the whole event she did great

[hot rampart]

since its ex 7 theres like shitton of enemies spawn in her range

[tardy vigil]

If only I had a raised vivi to stop conductors...

[hot rampart]

u dont hv arturia e2 yet?

[tardy vigil]

No I farm event rocks instead of required rocks

And red certs

Is Arthuria good in the event?

They don't have big resistance values so I assumed she's mid there

[hot rampart]

non of the enemies has elemental resist so

her necrosis proc just deals true damage

and debuff enemies attack

[tardy vigil]

Yea but it's 12k dmg over the whole duration

If you safely apply it before the conductor wipes my squad

[mossy tinsel]

I got what I wanted right off the bat in the AK tutorial gacha pull, so I'm already super happy.

Even though I was going for Blaze, but Weedy is just as important.

[hot rampart]

weedy is walmart blaze anyway with S2

[mossy tinsel]

I wanna get Angelina to lighten heavier enemies and push them with Weedy.

https://vxtwitter.com/HM_Hmongt/status/1792064111871979991?t=RM9flhx4gKs2xmblj-Lblg&s=19 it's ok, they are family

[mossy tinsel]

Just take her instrument and lock it up until she's out on the battlefield to use it against the enemies.

[ebon sphinx]

https://vxtwitter.com/ArknightsEN/status/1792451857836814423?t=jiiVJaqZHX3pk8koH5Swkw&s=19

it's AL's wishing well banner!

[tardy vigil]

yea no zt-ex-7 without mlynar is too much

those conductors just 1 shot everything

[tardy vigil]

3 shield dudes walk in under purple
I press Lin skill
she dies, next second dies typhon

[violet vortex]

That’s how they work

You can lookup dr.silvergunn doing it with pure 4*s if you want

[sharp tartan]

Zt ex 7 was which?

The only one i remotely feels problem is the boss because i hates his mechanic

[quaint arch]

I just don't bother clearing EX/S Stages

Cuz I'm a sucker

[tardy vigil]

He doesn't have a yt of doing anything in this event

[tardy vigil]

wow

I want to be like you

[tardy vigil]

I had no clue youtube had separate sections for streams and videos

thanks

Aaand his 4* besieger does more damage then my Typhon

I guess with portal gun he had 3 units dealing damage there

they all really hype up cutter

and his jaye solos conductor

I dont have any high phys dps units that are good with this portal and its ok

[willow nymph]

just use more ops lol

[tribal thicket]

Just save your sanity and play something else

No point wasting your time and sanity on a fucking gacha game event that's going to rerun next year and you can still get the medals then

[tardy vigil]

well no, I like playing AK

This event I even found use for beanstalk despite her being bad in 9-10ch story

As she has good coverage ranged vanguard who shoots pillars

Late stages feel a bit as statcheck

Good nuff

"challenge" modes barely added anything

[hallow garnet]

last day yay

time to do all the ex stages

just did zt-10

this was a funni one

[tardy vigil]

It was so easy with horn

[hallow garnet]

is exia mod worth ?

i have it at mod1

it's like some minimal atk

and the buff goes to 2 allies

and i was thinking oh wow for once somebody else other than myrtle can be buffed

[wanton stratus]

I highly doubt it’s worth it

[hallow garnet]

thought so

[tardy vigil]

how is this a typhon anni

Where do I put here

[willow nymph]

why are you doing this one btw it's not the current anni

[tardy vigil]

I tried outside of burning grass in most down-left deploy so she can hit 2 lanes - but this way she was on way of casters

[tardy vigil]

they have only 2 weeks left and current anni has 9 weeks left

[hallow garnet]

it's not

bara probably referred tro current anni

which is a typhon map

[hallow garnet]

so?

you havent cleared this before?

[tardy vigil]

I didnt

[hallow garnet]

huh

sleepge

[tardy vigil]

wdym

[willow nymph]

it's cyclical so it doesn't matter

[hallow garnet]

alr go ahead then

[willow nymph]

can do later but if you don't wanna bother don't

[hallow garnet]

this is the previous anni. if you are only clearing this now what have you been doing before?

[tardy vigil]

and why completing current one matters more?

[willow nymph]

to get oru in 5 auto tix

[tardy vigil]

doing chapter 9 or some shit, trying to e2 someone probably

[hallow garnet]

you cant sweep unless it's the current one

[willow nymph]

well you can sweep anni 3

but it's 6 tix

[hallow garnet]

right....

then outside anni 3 ig

[tardy vigil]

sweep what

weekly?

[hallow garnet]

sweep anni clears

weekly

yes

[tardy vigil]

I can farm it it lungmen

[willow nymph]

that's anni3 yeah

[tardy vigil]

Look at this

[hallow garnet]

aaah

my bad

didnt realize u were this new

[fluid verge]

Post your squad

We can give pointers as to who to build next

[hot rampart]

buff can go to elysium or medic

[fluid verge]

Bagpipe

[willow nymph]

exu is old op now

the future is now

Ela ray w/e just be better

[wanton stratus]

Speaking of Ray

I’m probably gonna have to skip her just to be safe

There are no ops I don’t want besides Ascalon

And Zuo Le is w/e but gonna pull for Shu

[strong rampart]

@hallow garnet amazing

This is the only channel left that we’re both active in, how fitting

The first, and last

I don’t even play AK any more lul

[tardy vigil]

Ptilopsis just LMD waiting

I think first gonna be Lin module at least 1 for defenses on skill

[hallow garnet]

yay

[tardy vigil]

I have never until a meme video noticed this blue box on top

Sometimes Horn doesn't work, but when she works damn it's just skipping 90% of the stage

[wanton stratus]

S2 as default skill

[tardy vigil]

yes

[mossy tinsel]

Hi!

[strong rampart]

Hello

[mossy tinsel]

How are you?

[hallow garnet]

alr ex stages done

[strong rampart]

Sleepy hbu?

[hallow garnet]

now to do S stages

i quite enjoy the pewpew music box thing

[strong rampart]

[hallow garnet]

set exu on it and it's like i have global exu

[mossy tinsel]

Pretty good. I just recently cleaned my home.

[hallow garnet]

also witch king redeploying sexas is funny

thank you for making my nuke happen more often

[willow nymph]

Funniest part about witch king tp is that it also reset summon counts

So ng cage permanently disable him for 1 deploy slot

[strong rampart]

Pog

[wanton stratus]

S3 has the most damage, and S1 has lower but consistent damage. S2 is mostly useful if you either have a very small window to inflict damage or Horn is blocking enemies; which is a suboptimal way of using her

[tardy vigil]

or enemies have a ton of armor

I swap before each battle depending on needs

default skill is useless anyway

also when jessica s3 has ammo you guys consider it an upside

when horn s2 has ammo it isnt an upside

[tardy vigil]

or enemies come in small waves and not in a constant stream

so most of s3 gets wasted inbetween

[wanton stratus]

Absolutely

[hot rampart]

s2 downside is that its competing with s1 for consistency and competing with s3 for burst damage and is not doing better than either

s1 just feels better to use most of the time and it having higher multiplier will pass through med-high defense conveniently

[violet vortex]

Level Ines

[tardy vigil]

any other suggestions?

ines isnt my waifu

[hot rampart]

make sure those skills are sl7

[tardy vigil]

I dont like fast redeploys in general

[hot rampart]

and e2 jessica

[tardy vigil]

she needs story progression 😦 (ch 5-6 mat)

maybe now I will have time after event

if I skip anni grind

[hot rampart]

ines best skill is s2 but her pog talent is behind e2
the one invi reveal and 30% move slow against enemies in her and dagger range

u can e2 her for this specific if u need to

[tardy vigil]

I wish I could lvl bagpipe

she is a waifu

but too expensive

[hot rampart]

she eat rocks for e2 💀

she is fine at e1

s2 is a okayish afk skill

[tardy vigil]

bagpipe?

[hot rampart]

yea

[tardy vigil]

isnt she a stat check?

[hot rampart]

stat check? yeah

[tardy vigil]

she has no cc, just hits enemies and gets hit back

so needs levels to beat armor and not die easily

no cc and both offense and defense sorta

[hot rampart]

good thing about bagpipe is her talent that gives vanguard initial sp makes ines s2 almost instant (at sl7) instant at m3

this talent is locked behind e2 tho

[tardy vigil]

exactly

[hot rampart]

also she actually deal decent chunk of dmg

[tardy vigil]

and gives 2 dp with module

[hot rampart]

obviously against high armor shes gonna fall flat

[tardy vigil]

per kill

[hot rampart]

but low med enemies she just shreds

e2 ines might be best choice i think

higher stats helps her do more damage

then e2 jessica / bagpipe whichever u prefer

[tardy vigil]

I dont like fast redeploys and I dont like her character

[hot rampart]

why is this an issue

💀

what the hell is wrong with fast redeploy

u have e2 sexas

[tardy vigil]

well, I had a sum saved up and yall told me shes op

[hot rampart]

and she is?

[tardy vigil]

so I leveled her without trying a single game

[hot rampart]

and?

[tardy vigil]

and is not enjoyable for me

[hot rampart]

i see

a masochist

ines fast redeploy isnt that fast dw

[tardy vigil]

there are many units in my roster that are considered "really good"

[hot rampart]

her deployment timer is 34 second

and u can be quirky and play with s3

[tardy vigil]

I wont get demolished in basic content by quality of my units if I dont use fast redeploys - or at least use bare minimum of them

[wanton stratus]

Really hope you’re using S3 as I saw S2 was the default skill

[hot rampart]

ines?

[tardy vigil]

most of the time yes

[hot rampart]

ouh sexas

[wanton stratus]

I love Sexas

And I never use S2

[tardy vigil]

I usually dont need damage from s2, as dps arent that bad

[hot rampart]

s3 the easy kill every single mob in her vicinity skill tho which make casual content easier

s2 has aoe too is beyond me thoo

[tardy vigil]

s2 is good against a blocked enormous dude

as a dpsxas

recycle her to deal s2 dmg

[wanton stratus]

Tbf the aoe is usually not enough to kill even a trash mob

[hot rampart]

it will soften them up regardless

[tardy vigil]

she hits someone, likely a trash mob and aoe's again

[hot rampart]

ye

[tardy vigil]

I was thinking on leveling lappland

[wanton stratus]

By the way, I also recommend building Ines lol

[tardy vigil]

and andreana

[wanton stratus]

Lappland I get, but not Andreana

[wanton stratus]

Is it just waifu?

Aha

[tardy vigil]

yea...

look

[wanton stratus]

[tardy vigil]

she can work great with arthuria!

[hot rampart]

andreana is usable

but her s2 dont kill

[tardy vigil]

arthuria deals fixed damage after a time

andreana brings them down to that dmg

or with Lin

[hot rampart]

so uh since tutu s3 is aoe she also brings enemy hp down lower than andreana threshold

and since andreana is just single target maybe 1 or 2 enemies gets shot at to near death

[bleak mirage]

I need to do the z stages but I don’t wanna

[hot rampart]

👍

[tardy vigil]

who is tutu

[hot rampart]

virtuosa

[wanton stratus]

Yeah, it was a slog

[hot rampart]

arturia

[wanton stratus]

[hot rampart]

tutu

[tardy vigil]

andreana shoots first

she has better range and arthuria only deals damage after time finishing them

[wanton stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/papa-tutu-tutu-tu-wawa-gabriela-lotaryńska-kakuchou-shoujokei-trinary-papa-tutu-wawa-anime-gif-13282903

[hot rampart]

tuwawa

[tardy vigil]

who is it

andreana module looks mid

I guess with 20 aspd she hits a bunch and then probably 1 shots out of s2 range

[wanton stratus]

tuwawa

[hot rampart]

its actually just for some abyssal operators buff shenanigan

[tardy vigil]

man

[hot rampart]

altho her base lvl 1 module

is good enough

no need for the upgrades for some atk speed

dont remember the last time i used her

[tardy vigil]

damn

I remember a flashback from horror game with same exact shoot

[fluid verge]

I use her in AH squad

[tardy vigil]

also podenko looks promising

but slowers are weird

[hot rampart]

podenco cute war criminal

and yeah she is decent

[tardy vigil]

they are supposed to be in front of everyone slowing - but how they dont die to enemy fire?

[hot rampart]

uh no?

[tardy vigil]

I dont want a defender in front of a slower

[hot rampart]

u can put them just fine behind/near some of ur blockers

[tardy vigil]

why

blocked units have 0 speed anyway

I have a Lin, I guess

cant put everything on this little mouse

[hot rampart]

upcoming enemies maybe incoming while ur defender is already blocking 3
niche scenario but its something

it helps some clutch slow for overburdened with mobs lane

[tardy vigil]

seems gigacope

[hot rampart]

ex 7 at top lane is sorta example if u dont kill those mobs fast enough

[tardy vigil]

game teaches you to use slowers with unblockable enemies

but those are so rare ever since

[tardy vigil]

I had this issue exactly 0 times in all my tries

[hot rampart]

podenco s2 is aoe anyway and its a plus side for ur defenders already stacking up 3 enemies for her

[tardy vigil]

aoe slow

it isnt a great dmg

[hot rampart]

and dps she is not earthspirit

the silence is there but u have lappland anyway tho

but whenever theres enemy being unblockable or a death sentence if u block slowers helps

example is the specific melee mobs that stuns in this event

being an ass

[tardy vigil]

well no, lapp is completely different

silence is just rarely useful

[hot rampart]

lapp has silence but mostly her being used is arts dmg from s2 being decent

[tardy vigil]

ye

[hot rampart]

and attacks 2 target

[tardy vigil]

and a lord

has good range decent stats hits air

60-80% atk over 6 sec

2000 arts dmg

[hot rampart]

regards to podenco it doesnt really hurt to have slower raised

[tardy vigil]

she boosts arthuria

idk, it looks shit

their range is shit

enemy comes and just BOOM

they are gone

[hot rampart]

ouh yeah u have tutu anyway for pseudo slow

but it can be slower

[tardy vigil]

I have a typhon

necrosis doesnt slow afaik

[hot rampart]

tutu herself slows

her talent applies a short slow

[tardy vigil]

yea, but its mid

like 17% slow

[hot rampart]

if theres no enemy fire its prime real estate for slow

[tardy vigil]

all I remember is fire

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-flashback-traumatized-cat-gif-7852054576948114551

[hot rampart]

since she hits air and drones are basically unblockable its something

[tardy vigil]

Would be nice if drones didn't block my units from existing in ligman

[hot rampart]

who is ligman

[tardy vigil]

Ligm.....

[wanton stratus]

🤨

[tardy vigil]

I meant lungmen

[hot rampart]

lungmen deez nuts hah

[tardy vigil]

In every anni they shoot back

And shoot back hard

And in IS 2

[hot rampart]

in regards to IS

podenco can be ur gigacope healer when game dont offer u medic tickets

[tardy vigil]

I use beanstalk for free hp

And maybe Lin

Or Jessicat

[hot rampart]

iirc is2 had some

poison haze map

[tardy vigil]

Eeeh

It isn't the problem

[violet vortex]

I said Ines since she’s the most notable of your unleveled & very op

You don’t have to use her as a fast redeploy it’s a bonus

It’s not like how Texas is one

[fluid verge]

Ines u can keep around for a while on the field

[violet vortex]

Ines is a 30s redeploy that will spend most of the time on s2 in one spot. Sometimes you put her down, retreat for her field, then place her somewhere else

[fluid verge]

Her s2 has really good update

Uptime

[violet vortex]

She’s who I used to hit the orb in this event mostly

Farm dp + fast attack speed

[fluid verge]

I used her and exusiai to blitz the orb

[violet vortex]

My other unit for it was Mule Dorothy

[wanton stratus]

I haven’t gotten around to building Muelsyse yet

Hmmm

Idk if she’s worth it

[willow nymph]

Worth

Also a damn powercreep immune op

Because she keep getting better copies lol

Like ela is just doro but higher usage rate
Ray is higher dph roughly same dps lower aspd
Logos is better eyja copy thanks to the fact you can deploy him near and he'll buff every hit of his clones by a fuckton with his talent

When they add a 6* caper its gonna be just super strong to use with thanks to the arche having ridiculous atk and 1s interval

E2 max Caper has higher atk than any 6* marksman

Also great mod

100sp 100% stats clones

there is never limited banner rerun

[tardy vigil]

I can pick istina in kernel pick for 45 gold certs

[tardy vigil]

wait a second, this sucks

- S2: Unusual drawback that forces other USSG skills to activate. Note this is strictly a drawback and has no upside. It cannot activate skills early.

why are we nerfing ourselves

[hot rampart]

u get used to it

some character kit designer is just vile

mainly 5* rarity getting this questionable shits

[tardy vigil]

she boosts aspd - gummy gonna smash them with her pan and reliably stun everyone

🐸

[ebon sphinx]

gummy with ASPD boosters in IS is a bit funny

though 5* Kroos is arguably even funnier since she inherently has fast ASPD due to being a fast sniper

that can even be boosted further during S2

[tardy vigil]

lets be real, I dont plan on maxxing 5* lord to highest mastery and levels any time soon

[sharp tartan]

5* ops getting shafted is normal

get used to it

[willow nymph]

leto's downside is largely irrelevant

[sharp tartan]

weaker than 6* but much more investment than a 4*

[willow nymph]

Gummy -> doesn't matter
Rosa -> if s3 just cast skill before full sp or when you want it casted, s2 it's probably alr up
Zima -> just cast skill
Istina -> not used

[tardy vigil]

wdym istina not used

this can be said about everyone in this squad

[hallow garnet]

phew done with all stages

lastminute grind

[hallow garnet]

lappy crying in the corner

[hallow garnet]

he means out of those istina is the least relevant

[tardy vigil]

why?

I was considering actually buying Istina with gold certs

since why the fuck I need zima with bagpipe, myrtle, ines, beanstalk and fang on the account

[hallow garnet]

orchid does her job just fine

if u need a slower

and her dmg is shit

she was never ever relevant cause ange existed from the start

zima is fine for vangknights

[tardy vigil]

Istina has aoe

for 3 targets

orchid only hits one

the difference is big

when orchid hits the same target over and over, while everyone behind them just moves freely at usual speed

[hallow garnet]

suzu exists

ange exists

may exists

etcx

but boo if you like istina, go for it

[tardy vigil]

wow

I can find much better alternatives for everyone in the list

[hallow garnet]

but you'd be better saving up that kernel stuff for a 6*

[tardy vigil]

why

I dont see any reason to

[hallow garnet]

cuz they are better? xd

[tardy vigil]

for bagpipe pots?

[hallow garnet]

for an ange for example

if you want a slower

but if you are set on istina go ahead

shes not unusable or anything

[tardy vigil]

I was really confused how she stands out in the student group

I thought she is most useful of any of them

[tardy vigil]

I actually meant to say that lappy is better if not maxxed because she deals arts damage, and it scales linearly unlike phys that falls off hard if hard enemies have shitton of def

[civic linden]

I mean istina isn't thaat bad

Her slows are slightly more consistent due to her talent

[willow nymph]

she isn't bad

just largely unused

[civic linden]

45 gold certs isn't that much unless you really want another 6* thats probably coming up

In the shop

I mean if you feel bad about using 45 certs on istina, i'm planing on using 180 certs on aak

[tardy vigil]

I see no reason to buy any 6* from that shop

They all are mid

[hallow garnet]

who

whos mid

as in more mid than ISTINA

huh

this is blue cert right?

kernel whatever

whats even the selection there

oh

i see it

ifrit, saria, aak are still great and used. helladad is also decent especially with mod tho hardly meta

rest is either crept or never was that good to begin with

mosti with mod is funni tho

the 5* selection has some great ones tho

texas, silence, specter, red, warf, manti, lapp are all great. if you have all these already you can pick istina sure

plat is serviceable

lisk for sp funnel funni things

that 6* lineup is questionable tho. why include launch 5* units but not 6*

[civic linden]

Firewatch is also great

Masteries in her s1 is insane

At m3 it get +15s duration -15sp cost and like +30% attack

[tardy vigil]

Rosa (powercrept by my built Typhon), zima (powercrept by op vanguards) gummy (you guys hate her)

[sharp tartan]

Gummy is whatever

Worse spot

[civic linden]

I used rosa and typhon in the demon event and somehow rosa was doing more damage to the boss than typhon

[tardy vigil]

She has more armor pen

And extra damage to heavy units

Like 60% atk

Rosa numbers are actually bigger in that department

[hot rampart]

are both on s2

[civic linden]

They're all still decent you could even do some ines/bagpipe shenanigans with zima

[civic linden]

Nah s3

[tardy vigil]

With skin istina loses Marxism-Leninism book

Pay to lose

[hot rampart]

rosa simply have extra dmg on her basic attack

but its only applies to weight>3 enemies

[tardy vigil]

It is their job

[hallow garnet]

i dont hate gummy at all tbh. shes decent. i m6d mod3-d rosa even tho i knew typhon was coming. just bc shes powercrept doesnt mean shes BAD. powercreep just makes shit easier but doesnt automatically make older good units outright bad. zima i never used, i think she was never really that good? but she has a good niche with vangknights comps. and istina has her place....on an account with no suzuran or ange and a situation where orchid isnt enough i guess. again. if you like istina, get her and play her, nothing wrong with that. and if i defend rosa then you defending istina is just as valid

[tardy vigil]

Typhon wins because her skills are easier to use

S2 is press asap and forget

[hot rampart]

rosa s2 cycle is pretty long tbf

[tardy vigil]

S3 follows outside the range so you don't have to stall in one spot

[tardy vigil]

It is different

You need to do a choice when to press

You still can get caught pants down

Typhon just works

[hot rampart]

eh good thing thered 12 slots in squad

once one cycle is down u activate somebody else cycle

[tardy vigil]

If you want two of them, sure should be fun

I can't get her anyway

[hot rampart]

she is in top op pool btw

just sacc

😎

[tardy vigil]

Rosa is defo usable but Typhon frees your mental stack and allows to focus on other areas of the map

MacOS creep

[tardy vigil]

Fake tag

Rosa and Leto should be op

Buffing aspd and atk% of each other

Maybe I should hoard gold tickets and buy out ursus team in the shop over a year

[hot rampart]

i have rosa raised with module lvl 3 and m6
i can put her up if u wanna try using her

[quaint arch]

The Best Spot is Spot indeed

[civic linden]

I do preffer rosa's bind over typhon's raw damage

[strong rampart]

I prefer Skyfire’s stun

[quaint arch]

I prefer Hedley Stun

Hoederer is a hoe

This Hoe?

[strong rampart]

No

[tardy vigil]

I remember some called hoehoe

[sharp tartan]

I only got saria from top op

2 years after playing the game

Still feels shes the best healing defender

[wanton stratus]

She has 2-3 months left as the best healing defender

[sharp tartan]

Is the rice woman a healing defender?

Shu i think?

[wanton stratus]

Yup

[tardy vigil]

frostnova is so easy after mandragora

shame I am overbuilt and now just auto early chapters to collect coins

[quaint arch]

You don't need Rice Woman for Guardian Defender

All you need is The Spot

[tardy vigil]

S-cope-t

[wanton stratus]

Did you even build any 3* ops?

[tardy vigil]

yes

for example spot

One must imagine Sisyphus happy

[hot rampart]

[bleak mirage]

We finally get her and she’s meh? Rip

[hot rampart]

she is usable

[civic linden]

He s2 damage is actually pretty good no?

[tardy vigil]

Wdym meh?

I will pull on degen banner for her

Idc for 6* they all suck

[bleak mirage]

I want them to at-least be decent

Like leizi and co

Wuthering is a word?

I though it was just a corruption of withering

[tardy vigil]

There are wuthering heights

And obviously wuthering waves

It is too rare of a word, too specific too poetic too dead

LMD costs on recruitment are negligible at some point anyway

[versed compass]

also no x6

[quaint arch]

We got this but at the cost of no Auto Repeat at Event Stages?

[versed compass]

cause in CN the rerun was before x6

clearly we are not allowed to have that now

They are a good % of daily income

And negligible if daily income is negligible to you

[wanton stratus]

I’m too tired to do the exact math but there is just no way recruitment lmd is a significant portion of daily income. Most doctors make over 50K LMD a day if they are droning TP, and a 7:40/9:00 recruit is 490/602 LMD respectively with a lv3 office (which most have even though it sucks). You get 17 recruitments a week from daily and weekly missions, so let’s say it’s 500 LMD average for a single recruit, making it 8500 LMD spent on recruits and 250K+ LMD gained from base in a week

[hot rampart]

602k lmd per 1000 ticket

or 490k for the 7:40 ones

[wanton stratus]

Who does a thousand recruits in a row? Besides me ofc

[tardy vigil]

I don't have lvl 3 office

It costs me 900 or smth

900 x6 is 5400 LMD

So 10% of your number

• droning tp

• lvl 3 office

I can't keep up gold production with 2 gold factories, so need 3 on gold to drone tp

And factories are underlvl because some sus right side

This setup sounds sus to me, but anyway 8-10% is a good% of income to me

[hot rampart]

do not upgrade your office btw

especially when the update is this soon

pointless ass upgrade now

[quaint arch]

IMBA Blue Certs for Upgrading Office to LV3

Watch as HIPPO gonna encourage 243

[hot rampart]

back then it was supposedly "discount" the lmd cost and unlock new slot

except weekly recruit ticket gain cannot keep up with 4 slots of recruit at all

hell even 3 slots too

2 slots is suffice

[tardy vigil]

My amount of recruit tickets is growing

Shit, man, I’m jealous af

[strong rampart]

Apparently AK is getting an open world

[tardy vigil]

you mean endfields?

[strong rampart]

Idk what I mean

I just heard it from Wazoo

[tardy vigil]

yes they develop open world rpg

[strong rampart]

[tardy vigil]

with big base management

[strong rampart]

God dammit

[tardy vigil]

our glorious leader had shown mercy

[strong rampart]

[hot rampart]

factorio players eating good

[hallow garnet]

endfield yes and it sucks ass

[strong rampart]

oof

[hallow garnet]

i wont be touching that for sure

jank combat

[strong rampart]

big F

[hallow garnet]

HEAVY emphasis on base management

who tf asked for this

but then again im glad i dont have to add another gacha to my list

when im trying to reduce it

[wanton stratus]

Can’t wait

[hallow garnet]

it's such a niche thing

i dont see how they gonna find any success

[hot rampart]

idc about niche thing at least its pretty unique

in regards to open world part it isnt exactly open

its closer to HSR zones

not expecting it to achieve high success like genshin but at least a success that can keep itself afloat

the thing worries me is the base management will definitely filters out the casual gacha gamers but at the same time the combat is way too simple that may or may not retain this super casuals

combat is worse than genshin which says a lot about how simple it is

im more hoping towards that it should still have a tower defense element either through game modes or an endgame mode

being a factorio lite and factorio has a semi tower defense shenanigans against natives filthy bugs trying to stop the base from expanding

[hot rampart]

[wanton stratus]

What is the middle one?

[hot rampart]

new upcoming CN sidestory

aegir sidestory

likely with ulpian

[wanton stratus]

Whoa

[bleak mirage]

Finally

Ulpian soon

[hallow garnet]

PLEASE not guard PLEASE

[violet vortex]

Finally, a story I’ll read

[hallow garnet]

tho logos broke the curse

but

i have enough hot men guards

give me a hot man sniper 6*

or something

we dont have a single male 6* sniper

[fluid verge]

Tank

He protects with giant ⚓

[hallow garnet]

what do i need tanks for

then again. if he'd be hoshi on crack i'd love that too

like high def

and skill dmg scaling from def

or something

but unlikely

im sure he'll be some stupid guard

logos only got away with being a caster cuz hes fruity

and also banshee guard would not have worked

[fluid verge]

https://tenor.com/view/guilty-gear-guilty-gear-strive-may-totsugeki-dolphin-gif-22007409

[violet vortex]

If he was a tank like hoshi he’d be unkillable

[hallow garnet]

make it happen

[violet vortex]

Remember he’d be getting AH buffs

[hallow garnet]

MAKE

IT

HAPPEN

👏

[fluid verge]

Summon dolphins too that can tank

[hallow garnet]

tank+aoe dmg

make him a ground lin

[fluid verge]

Defendener tank hybrid

[violet vortex]

Hoshi but with an additional -30% damage taken + regen

[hallow garnet]

and bigger reflect

or

everytime hes hit

he also slows in saria s3 range

per enemy hit

or something

idk

make it quirky

but make it op

[fluid verge]

Watch they make him a defensive vanguard

[hallow garnet]

if this happens

i'll make waza ban you

for slander

and bad omening

and this will be all your fault

[violet vortex]

He’s probably gonna be a Crusher or Reaper Guard

[fluid verge]

U should be praising me for my prophetic vision

[hallow garnet]

not crusher pls

useless

reaper is like....such a boring class

what are you gonna do

really

[fluid verge]

Fast redeploy

[hallow garnet]

fedex but defensive?

designing frd is redundant

[violet vortex]

Send 3 pulls

[hallow garnet]

unless u make a more broken sexas

but like

how do you break that

[fluid verge]

Yes

[hallow garnet]

sexas s2

[violet vortex]

The 3 tiles in front do a pull

[hallow garnet]

but with s3's aoe

[fluid verge]

Get stronger on every redeployment

[hallow garnet]

in one skill

[hallow garnet]

actually why dont we have something like this alrdy?

[willow nymph]

ulpian crusher unironically would be good

[hallow garnet]

this seems such a simple concept for frd

[fluid verge]

U don't need to retreat to redeploy

[willow nymph]

because if you stack dr it's op

[hallow garnet]

but they let sexas thru?

dont think they care for op

[willow nymph]

and the massive hp pool helps a lot

[hallow garnet]

ah

[violet vortex]

A crusher with innate 30% damage reduction from Gladiia & like 20k hp

[willow nymph]

yep

[hallow garnet]

crusher is a bad archetype in general

where would you ever use him

[willow nymph]

Not with an AH

[violet vortex]

Same reason people use Skadi post AH mods

[willow nymph]

legit being AH fix all the crusher problems

lmao

[hallow garnet]

[violet vortex]

Also

[hallow garnet]

so by crusher

[violet vortex]

He’ll be an ah buffer himself

[hallow garnet]

you mean hoe s3?

[fluid verge]

I love my s3 skadoot

[hallow garnet]

so not mountain but beefy?

[violet vortex]

Who knows what he could bring to them on top

[fluid verge]

So fun

[hallow garnet]

but for bosskill?

[willow nymph]

hoe s3 except twice the hp hoe has

and better regen and DR

[fluid verge]

Simple and effective simacking

[hallow garnet]

and slap gladiia regen on him

[willow nymph]

without even accounting for skills yet

[hallow garnet]

yea i can see it

[violet vortex]

Remember Gladiia is % regen

[hallow garnet]

but still

just moutain

[violet vortex]

So if he has 20k hp

[hallow garnet]

or do you wanna facetank bosses?

[willow nymph]

30% DR 3.5% hps and like 60% buff with all AH

[hallow garnet]

what content even requires that

[violet vortex]

Mountain is never tanking the stuff you could tank with that theoretical Ulpi

[hallow garnet]

but stuff mountain cant tank we dont tank anyway

just do some kill tile

[willow nymph]

hoe has 5% hp every atk (2s interval) and 18% dr

[hallow garnet]

and burst it

[willow nymph]

problem is

[violet vortex]

The regen from Gladiia alone would outpace most healers

[willow nymph]

mountain don't tank shit nowadays

[hallow garnet]

but what do u wanna tank?

we have so much ranged burst

and ground burst

i never find myself needing to tank anything

[violet vortex]

I think a defender would be cooler so he has high innate defense & block count

[willow nymph]

please no jugger

[violet vortex]

Protector is missing a 3rd slot so he could be that Hoshi/Nian powercreep

[hallow garnet]

male sniper

tho we dont have male 6* tank either

do we

[willow nymph]

nope

[fluid verge]

No

[hallow garnet]

then thats fine

[violet vortex]

4 Block Defender under AH buffs

[hallow garnet]

glorious

[violet vortex]

At that point he wouldn’t even need a skill to be useful

[willow nymph]

defenders are lame

[fluid verge]

Sentinel defender

[hallow garnet]

ah jessicat_?

[fluid verge]

His anchor is his shield

[hallow garnet]

or he can throw anchor

and pull in

[fluid verge]

He can swing that anchor around like nothing

[hallow garnet]

nautilus style

[willow nymph]

but he doesn't have a gun!

sentinel defenders have gun

[hallow garnet]

he splashes water okay?

[willow nymph]

[hallow garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/wet-tom-and-jerry-water-splash-abspritzen-gif-21281818

[fluid verge]

He don't need gun

He is tossing a 1000kg anchor like paperweight

[willow nymph]

yeah he should be a crusher

the class where everyone has massive unwieldy weapons

[hallow garnet]

but come on

[willow nymph]

it just fits

[hallow garnet]

another male guard

please

[violet vortex]

I thought he would be the first 6* Crusher

[hallow garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/groundbreaking-sarcastic-sarcasm-merylstreep-cold-gif-4767093

[fluid verge]

30000 pound anchors being flung around

[willow nymph]

anyway guys

[hallow garnet]

oh btw bara

[willow nymph]

go watch is3 tournament day 6

[hallow garnet]

hows zuole?

[fluid verge]

Imejin that

[willow nymph]

it was peak

[hallow garnet]

is he like another decent guard with no standout?

[willow nymph]

zuo le is super strong and absolutely busts with his sp costs

it's insane

[fluid verge]

That's the lord guard from shu banner no?

[hallow garnet]

how is he compared to recent guards

[willow nymph]

it's not a lord

[hallow garnet]

musha

[willow nymph]

it's a musha

[fluid verge]

Well I got the banner right

[hallow garnet]

it's so hard for me to cram all these guards into a comp

[willow nymph]

really competitive

[hallow garnet]

fedex i barely ever use

[willow nymph]

just do 12 guards team

🧠

[violet vortex]

Actually you could make him Eunectes’ archetype

[hallow garnet]

yeah

guardknight ig

[hallow garnet]

NO

[willow nymph]

lmao

that would be funny

[hallow garnet]

take that back

[willow nymph]

bad but funny

[hallow garnet]

ooooh that sounds great

[willow nymph]

ways to actively screw him

[hallow garnet]

is degen like the best guard?

[fluid verge]

Yes

[willow nymph]

yeah

[violet vortex]

How bad do you have to make his kit to not make him broken under ah buffs

[hallow garnet]

if you had to make like a top5 guards

[fluid verge]

Blows chen and forehead out of the water

[hallow garnet]

including future

gimme a top 5

[fluid verge]

She doesn't have to hit to get sp

[willow nymph]

Just need to see he's done max risk cc shit on a ground adverse cc
and that he's a top pick in is4 after degen mly

degen mly fedex zuo le chong for a top 5

[hallow garnet]

4 males

[violet vortex]

Actually since a chunk of AH are specialists, what about pusher

[hallow garnet]

and a warrior mommy

[violet vortex]

[hallow garnet]

i love it

[violet vortex]

The weight of the anchor knocks them all back

[hallow garnet]

pushers are too niche

[violet vortex]

And counterbalances Gladiia pulling

[hallow garnet]

this is just cs abuse again

[violet vortex]

And Weedy is the only 6* pusher still

[willow nymph]

UNNERF GLADIIA PLEASE

for the love of god

[violet vortex]

What did they do to nerf her

[quaint arch]

How bout top 5 but AFK version?

[fluid verge]

If you retreat after pulling the momentum stops iir

[willow nymph]

chong chong chong chong chong

[quaint arch]

[hallow garnet]

im surprised surtr didnt make bara's top5 list

[willow nymph]

says how stacked new guards are

[hallow garnet]

i never thought of chongus as stacked

[violet vortex]

Not many enemies need to have Surtr single block tank them

[fluid verge]

Degen mlynar are undisputably the top 2 guards rn

[violet vortex]

And a chunk of those are going to instant 1hp her so she has to be prepped ahead of time anyways

[willow nymph]

chong is just good in cn because lots of times his output is just what you want

[hallow garnet]

degen should be like 2 weeks away?
