[violet vortex]

I blame bg3 for making that the best bard archetype by a cataclysmic margin

[tardy vigil]

I've never played bg3

but college of swords is famous for being funny

[violet vortex]

Sword bard is one of if not the best archetype since it bypasses the additional restrictions the devs tried to place on action economy

With flourishes

While also being capable of stacking dc high enough to crowd control anything that doesn’t roll nat 20

[tardy vigil]

[tardy vigil]

I take my words back

I wish I raised Viviana

Peak team building

Half the fricking stage are elites

[tardy vigil]

Unless you do lots of shatter damage

I just realized that s2 DPS is higher then s3

[willow nymph]

No?

[tardy vigil]

Wait, +175% means total of 275%?

Yea then s3 is better

If I press s2 allies' shields will regen 8 seconds?

That's so bad

I mean, 3 shields per person

So if ton of enemies come

And sometimes weakened by virtuosa...

Nah, shielding itself is bad
But the stuns

Especially if they aren't synchronized in breaking...

Over 2 tanks could be 6 seconds of stun onto everyone

[willow nymph]

Or or or

You use s3 and do more damage

And the ones who take damage below can take it

[tardy vigil]

I don't need more damage

I need to deal enough before dot finishes

[hot rampart]

this is backward thinking

killing enemies faster is more beneficial as they wont alive for longer to deal more dmg

[wanton stratus]

Sooper smort

[hot rampart]

s3 is more reliable at stunning

in a shitton of mob scenario

[civic linden]

[strong rampart]

Sometimes there is such thing as killing something “too fast”

[tardy vigil]

Rip 3 module blocks

[wanton stratus]

[violet vortex]

Alright

Ulpianus is immortal

Ulpianus

6★ Crusher Guard

Illustrator: Skade

CV: Daisuke Ono

Trait: Attacks all blocked enemies

Talent 1: Recovers a certain amount of HP each time Ulpianus takes damage; When HP is lower than 50%, the effect of HP recovery increases

Skill 1: Next attack throws an anchor forward, drags up to two targets towards this unit, dealing Physical Damage

Skill 2: When skill is active, Talent 1 effect strengthens, Block +1, Max HP increases, ATK increases Unlimited Duration

Skill 3: When skill is active, Max HP increases, ATK increases; Instantly throws an anchor forward, the anchor stops when it hits a target/reaches the maximum distance, then deals Physical Damage to all surrounding enemies and stuns them for a few seconds. If the anchor is thrown on a deployable tile, Ulpianus teleports to that tile Can manually deactivate skill, Ulpianus returns to the original location when the skill ends

Hiding the ah talent still

[hot rampart]

edging

[violet vortex]

But yeah he is not dying

To anything

With that talent

That’s literally the crusher weakness gone

Tiny hits are going to be healing this man

And nothing is going to be a big hit against him

[hot rampart]

https://fxtwitter.com/oyuki_gms/status/1796801371909636531?t=j0FL1MJc1CEC_znvSVE4Cw&s=19

1st talent being defensive oriented
2nd talent could be offensive

[violet vortex]

Well since we know they didn’t gut his kit

And instead doubled down on him being unkillable

Pretty hopeful for 2nd talent

[hot rampart]

s2 permanent skill

[violet vortex]

Better not be elemental damage reduction or some garbage

Mountain except he won’t die ever

[quaint arch]

Talent 1 will be 100 HP per getting hit at base

[ebon sphinx]

I see that talent and think Ulpianus has...NANOMACHINES SON

[quaint arch]

Who wants to bet the numbers?

[violet vortex]

The numbers are gonna be good

He’s gonna have that

• Gladiia

[ebon sphinx]

also I think he might be immortal in damage over time maps

[violet vortex]

And just not die to anything

He’s gonna be immortal period

[ebon sphinx]

the ones that harms operators just by being in the map

[violet vortex]

But yeah those will heal him

AH already don’t take damage in those

The 3.5% from Gladiia outscales it on every op including Andre

[quaint arch]

*35%

Oh wait, you meant HP regen

Talent 2 Crit & Stun for all AH

Just like how Crusher Archetype has been doing in their kit

[violet vortex]

Give every ah a chance to stun to give synergy with andre’s attack speed

[hot rampart]

only thing he missing from usual crusher is attack buff talent that makes number go multiplicative

[violet vortex]

Really there are only 2 bad outcomes

[quaint arch]

Wait... I forgot Windchimes kit actually

[violet vortex]

Elemental Damage & Redeployment time

Any other buff is good

[quaint arch]

Notes: Skill 3 stun should be around 5s as per showcase (?)

[hot rampart]

hope it has low sp cost so its spammable

something around 30sp

[tardy vigil]

Trying to snipe elites in a giant crowd with Typhon s3 was a mistake

[violet vortex]

Specter Alter will make it relatively short anyways

[tardy vigil]

Never again using s3 outside of boss killing

[wanton stratus]

Which order do I read these in?

[ebon sphinx]

left to right, top to bottom...

[wanton stratus]

Right, right

China

[tardy vigil]

you mixed it all up

[quaint arch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XDX7hUh3Kk

Theorycrafting

[quaint arch]

Would you look at that Theorycrafting?

[hot rampart]

thats like

150 defense which is

average def number for dreadnought

well 100+ hp recovery per hit is pretty reasonable

[tardy vigil]

I just randomly heard this in base

[tardy vigil]

People said he would be unkillable

150 HP regen is pretty in line with Lin 200 shield

I didn't expect anything better, he still gonna die to dogs

[hot rampart]

well Lin has shitton of def and res

and the damage to shield is after the attack reduction happens

[tardy vigil]

If Lin didn't have shield she would still have shitton of def and res

[hot rampart]

yeah

[tardy vigil]

Sure, Lin is a tank and this guy isn't

But I am talking about the number

[hot rampart]

we are talking numbers

[tardy vigil]

Talents don't have insane numbers at base

From what I see

[quaint arch]

Well, would you?

[willow nymph]

It's hp/s for a while not hp/hit

[quaint arch]

Per second?

[willow nymph]

I saw 2 tl

One hp/hit the other ho every hit

Ulpianus

6* [Crusher] Guard

Talent 1

Upon taking damage, restore a certain amount of HP/s
This effect is increased when under 50%

Talent 2

Wait till release you impatient stinky weebs, go take a shower and touch grass

Skill 1

The next attack throws the anchor forward and drags up to 2 targets with certain force, dealing certain amount of Physical Damage

Skill 2

Increase talent 1's effect
Gain +1 block, increase Max HP and ATK

• Unlimited duration

Skill 3

When skill is activated, increase Max HP and ATK then throw the anchor forward.
Once the anchor hit the first target, or reached the farthest distance, inflict a certain amount of Physical damage and stun all surrounding enemies for a few seconds.
If the anchor's location is a deployable tile, Ulpianus will temporary teleport to that location.

• Can manually deactivate
• Ulpianus will return to the original position when skill ends

[violet vortex]

Gladiia is 30% damage reduction & 3.5% regen, he’s not dying to a single thing

Fast hitting enemies healing him that much through a damage reduction + the already present passive healing will make it impossible for him to die

To a massive chunk of enemy types

In fact if you can manage to get Ulpianus killed by a weak ass mob like a dog while Gladiia is deployed I’d be impressed

[willow nymph]

Tiacauh fanatic

Those craps have like 2k dps on 0 def

[tardy vigil]

It's just 150 armor

[willow nymph]

So it probably outdamage

[tardy vigil]

Fast hitting enemies can easily overcome that

[violet vortex]

On top of 30% reduction

On top of 3.5% regen

On top of 50% hp

[tardy vigil]

Sure regen is nice, but regen is nice against everyone

[willow nymph]

Yeah he's not dying but i can do it :xdd:

[tardy vigil]

100-150 def is still a low amount

[violet vortex]

The regen scales with hp

Which is what crushers have the most of

[willow nymph]

Not the one from ulpian

Only gladoo's

[tardy vigil]

High dps enemies are still strong against him

[violet vortex]

Not at all

You’re not reading what Gladiia does

AH characters are already hard to kill with just Gladiia

Without being at all meant to tank

[willow nymph]

The only clear cut fact we know is that it's flat hp for ulpian whether it's regen or instant

[violet vortex]

Even Andre, the sniper

Is fairly tanky

[tardy vigil]

This doesn't contradict my statement

[willow nymph]

Andre isnt tanky its just that there's very low incoming ranged damage

[violet vortex]

So fairly tanky for the purpose

[tardy vigil]

And she has high range to hide from fire line

[violet vortex]

While meant to be a squishy unit

The 100-150 hp regen is quite a lot when everything else is added to the kit

[tardy vigil]

Also croc disagrees on low ranged dmg

[tardy vigil]

100-150 defense

[violet vortex]

It’s 100-150 hp regen why call it defense when that’s not what it is

[tardy vigil]

I think this terminology is better for putting things into perspective

[hot rampart]

due to how def math works theres no difference

unless the 150hp is a regen and not trigger on hit

[tardy vigil]

Because you imagine insane amounts of HP dropping from the skies

[violet vortex]

But okay, call it that

Changes nothing

He’s extremely tanky

Random dogs are not killing him

[willow nymph]

It's literally defense that works on arts

[tardy vigil]

Random dogs are not killing anyone

[violet vortex]

What is then

[willow nymph]

You never experienced ccbeta

[tardy vigil]

They still could do a number on him

[willow nymph]

[tardy vigil]

Much bigger then on anyone else

[willow nymph]

Dogs kill everyone

[violet vortex]

No they aren’t

[willow nymph]

No one can survice a dog

[tardy vigil]

Less then on other crushers

[willow nymph]

-90% hp was so bad on that map

[tardy vigil]

I mean, it's still block 2 couldn't be that bad

[willow nymph]

Good thing this risk doesnt exist anymore

[tardy vigil]

No

This looks like FBI agents trapping me again

[violet vortex]

I’ll be genuinely impressed if you manage to get Ulpianus killed frequently in an ah team slava

I hope you don’t buff an aak to try & kill him yourself to accomplish this

[tardy vigil]

He is a good and fairly tanky unit, it doesn't contradict my statement

[willow nymph]

You cant buff aak's damage

Aak only deals 7k5 anyway so cant kill ulpian in ah

[violet vortex]

Scrap that plan then

[tardy vigil]

I can get everyone killed

[willow nymph]

No matter what since ulpian will atleast have 8k hp

[tardy vigil]

Happens 10 times a day in fact

[willow nymph]

Just get the map in is4 with 9 drone spawning at once

Boom insta dead ulpian

[violet vortex]

Yeah make sure it’s a15 too

[willow nymph]

That simple

[tardy vigil]

He would die a lot on this IS-EX-6 map with bunch of limos unloading tons of mobs

All while under a heavy fire and only 4 ranged places

[willow nymph]

Ah yeah is mobs have enough output on blood rage

Easily

[tardy vigil]

My tanks died there

[willow nymph]

Yeah they hit like trucks on normal intervals

[tardy vigil]

Well, everyone died 20 times with tanks dying first

[willow nymph]

Better use skill

[tardy vigil]

Until I did it

[bleak mirage]

Interesting

[violet vortex]

Yeah I’ll make sure to place him in the middle of every attacking unit during their powerup phase

[tardy vigil]

If you get to a hard enough content your units will die (relative to your investment and brain level)
And dogs or mobs will be the first to do a number on this guy

Unless you win every stage first time and never have to struggle

Not relatable

[willow nymph]

I mean unironically

[willow nymph]

If he's your unkillable main blocker .yes he will be

I can do that with ling dragons because they have 1k3/1k6 def on skill

[violet vortex]

Wow that sure was a spooky stage they killed my sniper

I’m sure Ulpianus will die in a stage strong enough to kill Andre surely

If you decide to count Skadi alter as an ah Andre wouldn’t have died either

[willow nymph]

Skalter literally isnt an ah

That's the whole jig of skalter

She's a pure seaborn

[tardy vigil]

How this adds anything to the conversation I don't understand

Do an e1 lvl 1 clear then we can talk

[hot rampart]

uh

People are discussing unit when they are most often than not

is at least e2

sl7

[willow nymph]

It's not even the problem there is plenty of ways to kill ulpian if you put your mind to it

[tardy vigil]

Ok s2 lvl 1 0 mastery

[willow nymph]

He's gonna be outrageously tanky yes

Killable nonetheless ? Yes 2

[violet vortex]

My point was that your stage that will easily kill Ulpianus is barely able to kill the squishiest member of AH

[sharp tartan]

Why would you ever bring a unit with skill level 1

[tardy vigil]

That is what I have been saying!

[violet vortex]

Since when?

[hot rampart]

poor

[violet vortex]

Almost everything you said points to downplaying how tanky he will be

[sharp tartan]

Guy too poor cant afford white skill book

[tardy vigil]

I've never said anything about skill lvl

[willow nymph]

Pretty sure solo ulpian 2 tiles to the left of skadi dies in this map

So yes

I can kill ulpian on that map

🙂

And it's far from the one with the highest damage from enemies of this event

[sharp tartan]

Gonna see ulpian tanking patriot second phase spear shot day 1 trust

[willow nymph]

Not on ranged tile

[violet vortex]

How much does it do

[sharp tartan]

Idk

[willow nymph]

Pat doesnt one shot either way on first phase he deals 2k1*4

In h7-4

[violet vortex]

Well either way I’m gonna enjoy having a unit who heals 314 hp/second off skill

Then heals 100-150 whenever someone touches him

[fluid verge]

Slap shu in for her talent for 12% HP, 1 sp per 4 seconds, and 12% more attack

[fluid verge]

I'm curious if I can get ulpian to 20k hp

[quaint arch]

Crush

Yeah, still a Crusher

Literally

[violet vortex]

If he has Hoe’s stats then he has 9k hp with AH buffs stage start

[fluid verge]

i can get skadoot to 14k hp rn

and she stars the stage with like 4k hp iirc

so it looks doable

[quaint arch]

Which Skadoot? The blue one or the red one?

[fluid verge]

theres only one who benefits from AH buffs

[fluid verge]

we dont have an AH caster or medic

[quaint arch]

Basic Outfit looks outdated, so i bought it to update the look.

[fluid verge]

thats a take

[ebon sphinx]

unless they have some special story reasons, i dont think casters are gonna be a thing. The thing with Aegir and especially AHs is that they are inherently really bad at arts

[fluid verge]

oh right they cant handle originum yea?

[ebon sphinx]

really resistant to infection too, since Spectre is an infected AH who has enough originium in her spine thats enough to infect a whole city

[quaint arch]

IMBA Additional Arts Damage from Ulphianus Sussus Talent for unknown reasons

Who knows?

[ebon sphinx]

mind, they dont have nor use originum arts but Aegir technology is advanced enough to make up for it

[quaint arch]

I could've add Dragon Sibilings here, but that one is on the Main

This is Alt

[quaint arch]

"We have that Technology"
"It's called Modules"

[fluid verge]

virtuosa also gives 30% atk, def, and hp

so ulphian can get all 3 if hes the only one in range of virtuosa

[ebon sphinx]

the hilarity is of course how Warfarin thought about spiking Skadi's drink with like twenty or more doses of tranquilizer drugs so they could dissect her

to study why the heck is her blood originium levels so low

Even i have a time & mats to Raise Pallas S1, S3, Mod X LV2, & Mod Y LV1

For no good reason

[violet vortex]

By the time Ulpianus drops it should be easy to get him 20k

Plus we aren’t taking into consideration his s2

Which will boost his hp anyways

[quaint arch]

Can we get % HP Poll as additional damage for AH Talent?

[violet vortex]

We could if they want it to be op

[willow nymph]

Just aak s2 for 80%hp

Why bother with tutu even

80% hp n def

Massive

[wanton stratus]

“Um, actually…” ☝️🤓

According to a discussion about Ulpianus Gladiia’s damage reduction applies after defense, like so (1000atk-100def)x0,7=630dmg
And not like this 1000atk x 0,7 - 100def = 600dmg

But since he has 0 defense and heals instead he gets maximum benefit from Gladiia like 1000atk x 0,7 - 100 (hypothetical healing amount) = 600dmg

[fluid verge]

why not both baramos 🤣

[wanton stratus]

Source is a reddit thread so naturally not fact checked

[willow nymph]

It is true

Functionally we're not even sure its hp/s after being hit or flat hp/hit

[wanton stratus]

Yeah

Flat hp/hit is funnier

Brawler enemies btfo

[violet vortex]

Flat hp/hit vs poison maps

[wanton stratus]

[fluid verge]

this guy can tank poison all day long

[willow nymph]

Hoshi does it too

And in a cooler way

[violet vortex]

But hoshi isn’t an ah

She should be

[willow nymph]

Hoshi doesnt need to be an ah to be immortal

I block every damage in the game oni is just too strong

Yes even true damage

[fluid verge]

oni > dragon

jk i love both equally

[willow nymph]

dragon defenders are wayyyy more meta relevant either way

like even before shu nian was better than hoshi for high end basically every time

except cc12 that hit a very precise sweet spotfor red in week 2 where hoshi stalled it longer if you don't mention the fact there was nian reed opener strats that worked too

and that week 1 nian was queen because it enabled penance solos

man in retrospect even this cc was nian dominating

[violet vortex]

Nian is tankier than Hoshi just in general

[tough matrix]

carnelian jumpscare

I pulled for IRS and I got the GOAT

now I need 3 more

[willow nymph]

If you reroll hoshi's immortal

🙂

[tough matrix]

for general, I think hoshi is more than enough
for a high level content, Nian is better because she has a whopping 3 shields

and her s2 at m3 gives her like +130% def

[willow nymph]

Nian straight up better in high end content

She has higher hp too and her base def is only very slightly below hoshi on s2 with mod

Her hp talent is also stupidly strong since every defender want hp

And now you add shu to the equation and holy

No hoshi space

[civic linden]

Woah m9
Have you ever gotten good use of s1?

[tough matrix]

not that much

if you want a ranged tank that can still deal moderate damage, you can use it

[hallow garnet]

what high end

we dont have anything anymore

i dont use hoshi either much

everything is usually stallable or burstable

i rarely see nian show up anywhere

[willow nymph]

literally every cc that used a non-liskarm defender used nian over hoshi

ig there's cinder openers where hoshi was used but it's also when deathbox strats use nian as bait that can live through 4 caster hits at the same time

[ebon sphinx]

the thing Hoshi has over those two, one that i find valuable regardless, is sheer AFK power

[tidal hawk]

Wait Nian can replace Hoshi?

[hot rampart]

the only one i remember that made nian a better choice than hoshi was manfred CC

where there is artillery cannon true dmg

and u just mainly want someone with high af hp to tank manfred and aggro the cannon by having 3 block

[wanton stratus]

Which is the highest HP archetype now?

[hot rampart]

crusher

[ebon sphinx]

yet Nian can help just by being in the team since her talent benefits all other defenders anyway

[willow nymph]

beta : nian not out iirc?
1 : Hoshi better, defenders got ditched at max risk
2 : Nian overwhelmingly better thanks to making lisk have more hp and tanking up to 5 shots from faust even at max
3 : Hoshi openers for some strats but nian had bait jobs where she outperformed too
4 : Neither used
5 : Idem
6 : Only nian for tiacauh stalls on a few strats outperform hoshi there
7 : pine soot = joke
8 : Dawnseeker nian is a necessary opener due to the sleeping guys and hoshi just can't do it
9 : Neither used at very max nian saw a bit more use on some strats due to being able to block 4 for a while while having her max hp buff
10 : Nian every time a defender is used because max hp is strong, max low op plays around cannon and doesn't need either
11 : neither used because 0 block
12 : cf reply

No way they sell camping tableware

What they gonna sell next, doors? Teapots? Swimming masks and flippers?

Puns?

Make a cooking show with a gummy vtuber (full 3d model)?

It isn't even a crazy overprice since here decent picnic mat is 20-25$

A shame they don't provide any details like size of the mat or the plate

[violet vortex]

[willow nymph]

Then lets talk about suzu nian aak

Sleepers

[hot rampart]

based it on CN server schedule

[willow nymph]

Yeah new ops get stronger old ops get powercrept at release most were good

[hot rampart]

yeah nobody is arguing that i thikn

[willow nymph]

Magallan had the stats for most maps and was unironically extremely strong

She just fell off because 800/2k atk isnt enough

[hot rampart]

ouh now that u mentioned it i dont see

[willow nymph]

Oh yeah same for hella

Hella could solo anyone year 1 2

[hallow garnet]

cuz there are fucking many ops

[hot rampart]

post release

3* to 6*

[willow nymph]

Ah 5* are garbage
Midnight is strong
Year 1 4* are strong

[tardy vigil]

Doing long video isn't the hard part.
Hard is editing your yapping to make it shorter. He could have easily yap for 2 hours

[willow nymph]

That's it

[hallow garnet]

what reason would supah have to leave mag out on purpose?

[willow nymph]

Not a lot of it to talk about

[hot rampart]

im not watching to see his good opinions anyway

[tardy vigil]

I've seen a thumbnail claiming 4* have reverse powercreep

Didn't click

[hot rampart]

just want to see him shit on this actual shit operators by modern standard

[hallow garnet]

nobody is watching this vid for education

Guys
I think I am bad in IS

[ebon sphinx]

you live, learn and try again, thats how it is because its a roguelike

[hot rampart]

i lose to is4 0 diff like

10 times

mostly becuz the encounters there is so much bullshit

[ebon sphinx]

failure is unavoidable, it is how it is

you just try again

[quaint arch]

*You live, die, learn, and try again

[tardy vigil]

Jessicat is my new starter

At least she is reliable against random bs IS throws at me, unlike other "busted" operators

[quaint arch]

It's out, fellas.

who would have guessed

[hot rampart]

warmy s2 is saved

xd

[versed compass]

gladiia module is garbo in upgrades

but its levle 1 might have a niche

[hot rampart]

base 1 module sounds pretty good niche yeah

+1 shift level should affect her s3 aoe pull

which just sucks in a lot more potential targets

[versed compass]

all her skills get improved for it

we might get stages where enemies are just too heavy to be pulled so you can use gladiia module instead of gladiia + hool

or gladiia module + hool

in case they are even more heavy

[hot rampart]

i think further upgrades of it is probably like

130% > 140% > 145%

xd

[versed compass]

if you gonna use it you probably dont care about the bonus damage anyway

[quaint arch]

Gladiia Hookmaster Retreat-Pull Trick

[bleak mirage]

Jessicat is great

[tardy vigil]

Damn this IS2 boss is smth

• Fuckton of aoe + necrosis
• Phases blockers
• don't give a fuck
• takes no damage given his dodge, big HP pool and decent defenses
• ?????

[ebon sphinx]

which one

[tardy vigil]

IS2

[ebon sphinx]

oh, teddy bear?

[tardy vigil]

Yea?

[ebon sphinx]

that map tests your sustain...even if some comps can potentially cheese it

[hot rampart]

uh not teady bear

dodge is basically phantom

[fluid verge]

I just cleared is 4 first boss like 2 weeks ago and I had to use e2 mylnar, e2 surtr, e2 chenalter for my carry

Fuck these maps and their speedy Gonzales ass mobs

This was after 4 hours of malding

[tardy vigil]

Ok sustain, but if I camp him in choke point he blasts aoe + necrosis stunning my defenders

And then my ranged tiles are grouped so his aoe hurts

Do I need like 3 defenders?

[ebon sphinx]

basically that map tests.. "Do you have Honeyberry or Mulberry raised" and good helidrops

his evasion is gone if blocked. He teleports on the first operator blocking him so you need at least two layers

kind of like Crownslayer

[tardy vigil]

I had Jessicat

She got tired of surrounding toxicity

I think I even had bagpipe to bait phase

But ye, no elemental healers

[willow nymph]

me when thorns is the first guard to solo ed4 in is3

[tardy vigil]

I could raise chestnuts

[quaint arch]

Would you like to show us?

[tardy vigil]

My problem is - why I raised Ines then

[hot rampart]

shes a vanguard?

she prints dp

binds

slows

[willow nymph]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ib421i7jt/

[hot rampart]

35 sec redeployment

[ebon sphinx]

Ines prints a fuckton of DP if you have ASPD boosters

[ebon sphinx]

You can get Honeyberry from cert shop iirc?

shes cute too

[hot rampart]

her dp printing is "unreliable" but if thats the case the stage is probably easy from the get go

[hot rampart]

dont

worst fucking 4* medic period

[quaint arch]

No. Chestnut is Painge

[hot rampart]

his s2 is absolute garbage

like just look at its range

thats unreliable as shit

u bring medic not to position ur operators AROUND ur fucking medic

[quaint arch]

You better off picking 5* version

[hot rampart]

his s1 is also shit as fuck with the sp cost and manual

[willow nymph]

Lucien doesn't need a wandering medic either

[ebon sphinx]

Honeyberry is

[willow nymph]

Just bait jump and aoe skill and you're good

[ebon sphinx]

technically, but it helps a lot

[quaint arch]

Heck, next event after this upcoming re:CC is Side Story with Welfare Wandering Medic if you want to

[willow nymph]

harold propaganda

[ebon sphinx]

the wandering medic is a huge boon when you didn't have the damage to burst the boss

[willow nymph]

how about

grabbing warfarin and having the dps to burst the boss

[ebon sphinx]

outin is a newer player...

[willow nymph]

he has like 3 5* vouchers to grab warfa

[quaint arch]

Nah, We'd Lumen S3

S2 can also work

[ebon sphinx]

You can position Horn facing up to prepare to use her S2 or S3 which is a nice burst skill when you block Lucien

[hot rampart]

elemental medic wont help against phantom nerve dmg

except mulberry s2

[willow nymph]

me when eyjalt s3

[hot rampart]

yeah he has eyjalt for sure

we are talking about slava options not ur honest opinions

[willow nymph]

i'm joking

[hot rampart]

cant believe u can joke

[willow nymph]

but yeah imo if building any medic for lucien uh

grab warf?

or a dps but you know

[quaint arch]

Everyone can do a joke. It's just how well they'll deliver it

[ebon sphinx]

honestly...it's not really specifically for Phantom but "god everything in this fucking map deals elemental damage"

[quaint arch]

[willow nymph]

let me introduce you to the wonderful world of

a good sniper deals with the dancers

and the boxes

[ebon sphinx]

don't bother telling me, I maxed out IS2 and got all endings for almost all starts

[willow nymph]

same here

[hot rampart]

collected all collectibles here too

[tardy vigil]

I'm sold

600 will be a slug tho

[tardy vigil]

typhon wasnt a good sniper
she killed most of dancers, but at what cost...

I defo need a wandering medic there

[civic linden]

I always dealt with phantom by just trying to burst him down before he reaches the left side of the map

And i he did i'd usually just lose

[willow nymph]

typhon 100% kill them while running around on s2?

like all of them

probably placement issue

[tardy vigil]

there is like 1 tile to place typhon so they dont hit back

and they go in circle anyway

problem wasnt the casters

it was the boss

[tardy vigil]

you killed him before he gets to chokepoint? how?

[hot rampart]

good dps operator

[tardy vigil]

like?

chalter wont do it

[hot rampart]

u have chalter?

[tardy vigil]

texas didnt do it

[hot rampart]

good dps operators

so like blocking him is a viable option

bait out his dash
make him dash into a blocker and sandwich him

[tardy vigil]

so you place 4 operators to bottom part?

[hot rampart]

blocking him : he no loonger has dodge

uh

since theres dancers there so no

its right when he is at top side

[tardy vigil]

ye and it needs a wandering medic

[willow nymph]

BRUUUUUUUUUUUH

please

[tardy vigil]

I meant - if you solo place her on hg to the right

[hot rampart]

it just needs a good medic

[tardy vigil]

she wouldnt kill him before he walks out

[willow nymph]

her usual spot is to the left if you use her for lucien

[hot rampart]

this the place where u sandwich him
after u bait out his dash from the tile on that right

[willow nymph]

and armor guys

diagonal of the box facing up

[tardy vigil]

I mean if you tank him - sure

[hot rampart]

which u can

[tardy vigil]

but once again, tanking requires wandering medic
otherwise its like 15 sec cap

[hot rampart]

yeah u should burst him down

in that 15 sec

[willow nymph]

even if you don't she's able to do hefty damage because she outreach him for 3 tiles while he's slowed and just emergency deploy someone to bait when he gets to his wait point

[hot rampart]

reminder why blocking him is good

[tardy vigil]

I guess

[hot rampart]

and yeah chalter is also like

best dps for him on that spot

[tardy vigil]

well sure

if you get 15 sec

[willow nymph]

no relic she just shred him still

[hot rampart]

if u place her here with s3 up even if he yeeted ur blocker she will still hit him at his waiting point beside box

[willow nymph]

[tardy vigil]

I thought you just kill him in 5 seconds he pass by

[willow nymph]

More like 30s due to wait point and chalter s3 slow

[civic linden]

I haven't done is2 in a long time so i don't quite remember...but it usually required a good sniper in the right side hitting where he spawns and then idk just whatever other long range dps i had

[tardy vigil]

I had maxed rosmontis and she did jack shit to him

[willow nymph]

were you using s3

[civic linden]

I never used chalter/texas/yato in is2 either

[tardy vigil]

yes

[hot rampart]

funnily enough she can block him by herself

also damn where did u get rosmontis

is this starter borrow thing

[tardy vigil]

IS gives free units

[willow nymph]

You had blockers for phantom 💀

too

yeah this one's just skill issue

[hot rampart]

wow u can roll a limited operator u dont own from it?

[willow nymph]

yeah

[tardy vigil]

you can roll anyone

I have never rolled an operator I own

[willow nymph]

typhon rosmon chalter and can't kill lucien

i don't even need to see relics

[tardy vigil]

• I dont have chalter

[hot rampart]

i was under impression u only roll non limiteds u dont own

and limited only for ones u own

[tardy vigil]

• typhon was s2 e1 facing clowns on the left

[hot rampart]

u mean right?

[tardy vigil]

yes

[hot rampart]

yeah thats fine

[tardy vigil]

it was s3 rosmosis, s2 ines, s3 jessicat and bagpipe to tank smth

under physopsis

oh and virtuosa, but she did jack shit and died so

maybe this one was on me

Did anyone M3 and use Virtuosa’s S2? How does it hold up?

[hot rampart]

its a meme

[quaint arch]

Not me

[hot rampart]

its "viable" but essentially a meme skill

u can use it on somebody that deal traceable dots, multi hits , fast attack intervals , aoe fellas

[quaint arch]

Like TACHANKA

[hot rampart]

due to s2 duration u can only apply necrosis once during its uptime

[quaint arch]

^ FACT

[tardy vigil]

I use s2 before promoting her in IS

really useful skill, thanks HG

I probably played more maps with her s2 then s3

[wanton stratus]

I’m trying to think of a legitimately useful practical application

Drawing a blank

[hot rampart]

reed s3 , firewhistle , archetto , thorns ,

[quaint arch]

There's no Global AoE Rapid DoT Skill for Operators yet.
Go back to sleep.

[wanton stratus]

Firewhistle will get a mod delta with burn damage making her not combo

[hot rampart]

gg s3

[wanton stratus]

[quaint arch]

Nah, we want it to hit every single pixel on the map

[wanton stratus]

Tf you mean “yet”

[hot rampart]

gg s3 deals like 3 tick becus 3 drones attack

That is for a very low damage

Who knows what HIPPO will cook in their design kitchen?

[wanton stratus]

I know

My friend’s sister’s stepmother’s cousin’s uncle works at HG

[willow nymph]

skoodi

[tardy vigil]

I thought virtuosa s2 ally necrosis damage on hit depends on her atk, so don't matter how much damage ally does

[quaint arch]

That's the thing.
A skill that's designed for Virtuosa S2 and nothing else

[tardy vigil]

virtuosa s2 gives her double hit

and allows to hit all the time

big part of power budget is having this arts caster doing pew pew

[strong rampart]

You can spawnkill Phantom

Use a dodge-ignorer

True damage, or Schwarz/Fartooth

What's so strong about utage in is 4?

[willow nymph]

nothing ?

she isn't particularly better than in normal content

but she can kill most threats in is4 so that makes her good

Will wait until an event drops

[tardy vigil]

A really insightful video, I would never guess that the main use for beanstalk is "a specialist who happen to generate dp"

Really good thing is - I can deploy her early as a shitty sniper, and deploy crab really last when I want to

So even against ranged bullies he is useful

[tardy vigil]

I just noticed half of the current anni is just elites

And people said vivi is bad

[hot rampart]

bad is often an overstatement in arknights tbh

or well people expectation of whats strong is just way higher than usual especially nowadays

anything that isnt strong : bad

and viviana specifically is very underwhelming
coupled with her enemy version is way different than her playable versions + degenbrecher being the playable boss into playable operator and broken as fuck

note : viviana enemy version was just an elite enemy and not a boss

[ebon sphinx]

Viviana is good on paper! ...she was also released after like Surtr

[tardy vigil]

Vivi s1 aced dat shit

Bottom line has battering rams coming once every 8 seconds - plenty of time to charge her s1 overload with ptilopsis

[tardy vigil]

Surtr could never do what vivi did on this map

She presses skill, murders everyone and dies

Afaik

My top side was horn + virtuosa + jessicat
Bottom only vivi + Ines slow field
(Typhon is the middle)

Those ram charging are perfect for vivi shield

[wanton stratus]

You know that Surtr has other skills, right?

Specifically S1 for this use case

[willow nymph]

s2 basically always better even in that case

very short cycle high st damage

[wanton stratus]

I also forgor S1 was offensive recovery

Whoops

[willow nymph]

s1 surtr 1-7 solo

[wanton stratus]

Real…?

[hot rampart]

wish viviana is also multi target with s3

[wanton stratus]

That would make her rival Surtr in scenarios where the immortality isn’t needed

Sounds good to me
