[hallow garnet]

aak

[versed compass]

[hallow garnet]

[versed compass]

[versed compass]

[hallow garnet]

aaah i love this bgm

my top bgm is still probably cc5 lobby

this person needs more subs lol

[vagrant tusk]

My fav are A Walk in the Dust lobby

Other than that are from Lone Trail

And Misty Memory

[vagrant tusk]

[hallow garnet]

controls wishes omg

so good

misty memory also amazing

[wanton stratus]

I can’t believe one of the three Kirara fans actually got to make music for arknights

[mossy tinsel]

I saw some of the Chinese AK YouTube videos and most of them are lewd, lol

The doctor is also a girl or at least a femboy in those videos.

[tardy vigil]

I think this is natural for gacha games

this content blows up itself

btw, I've seen quite a bunch of chinese animations on youtube and none of them were lewd

[bleak mirage]

Mm

Interesting personas they got

[mossy tinsel]

Have you seen the one where the Doctor drank filtered water with Ray's stockings?

[tardy vigil]

No, I've never seen it

[mossy tinsel]

https://youtu.be/aMLJSnO74N0?si=zHK1-tAJ2wisgeen

This is the one!

[wanton stratus]

‘Number 15: Rim Billiton foot lettuce. The last thing you’d want in your filtered water is someone else’s foot fungus’

[mossy tinsel]

It went from being hot to disgusting real quick, I had quite the whiplash watching all of it.

[wanton stratus]

Was it ever hot though?

[mossy tinsel]

Well she took the stocking off and exposed her bare legs, I find that hot.

[wanton stratus]

Right, right. I was already forgetting the video after 20 minutes

[ebon sphinx]

So, you aren't quite on Tarantino's level yet

[wanton stratus]

[mossy tinsel]

What's Tarantino's level?

[ebon sphinx]

Quentin Tarantino, movie director or producer guy with an infamous foot fetish

once casted himself in a role where he gets to have Selma Hayek's foot on his face and stuff

[mossy tinsel]

There's more of those types of videos in YouTube and probably even more in Billibilli.

[quaint arch]

Should've not watched it then

[mossy tinsel]

I didn't think it would get worse though.

How was I supposed to know that whoever created that skit wanted to ruin that fan service scene at the end.

[quaint arch]

You don't.
You don't need a 🪭 Service to begin with

[mossy tinsel]

All Ray fans be like: would

[hot rampart]

will

[tardy vigil]

Why would you click that

It looks extremely suspicious beyond simple "lewd"

[hot rampart]

i think there some nerf and buff

Wait, wtf is this? Does anyone who uses tiktok mind finding out what they are posting?

[hot rampart]

i dont think zoomers play arknight

[tardy vigil]

overwhelming majority of people here are zoomers

[versed compass]

idk am not tik tok user

[tardy vigil]

same

[hot rampart]

erm nuh uh

[quaint arch]

We're Shorts User

[versed compass]

i did use tik tok at one point

and it was purely for....

cats

[tardy vigil]

I bet they are reposting same shit there

because it all is reposted from Douyin half a year later

[ebon sphinx]

tiktok is a CN origin app anyway so its not surprising

[wanton stratus]

Wew, great news fellas

I have broken my previous record of most pulls held; the exact number will be revealed on the 13th

I was a little worried since I wasn’t able to do it when the Degen banner hit

[versed compass]

so

3 pulls

[tardy vigil]

30$ pack is 17k odumdum??!

[wanton stratus]

I ain’t telling, you’ll have to wait and see

[tardy vigil]

lets say I have 130 pulls now

is it enough to realistically get collab unit and askalon?

[ebon sphinx]

collab unit is guaranteed, Askalon, not so much

Collab Guaranteed pity is like 100 or 120

[wanton stratus]

Worst case scenario you’re looking at like 350 pulls

So under those circumstances, no

If you get Ascalon before 50 pulls you’re set though

[versed compass]

i mean i can just go to where you live and check now

if you needed 250 pulls for ascalon you might have to be worried

such luck is harder to happen then getting hit by lighting out side

[wanton stratus]

[mossy tinsel]

Two reasons

1. I wanted to see Ray's bare legs
2. I wanted to see the action of Ray removing her stockings to reveal her bare legs.

[hot rampart]

same

be cautious out there

[mossy tinsel]

Okay.

[tough matrix]

is this minecraft/ark gamemode permanent?

[mossy tinsel]

So I found this weird bot account in Twitter that says
"It's illegal to be gay in Rhodes Island, therefore Ling is straight, also they emit no gay energy so idk where u got that from other than ur weird headcanon. As for Kafka they're probably gay."

Then you see two images of Ling and Kafka.

[hot rampart]

yes

[hot rampart]

ouh u can either

offer 50 rice

or fight the boss to pass through

[ebon sphinx]

WELCOME TO THE RICEFIELDS

[hot rampart]

u make me heat up

[fluid verge]

her design is really nice

[mossy tinsel]

Agreed.

[vagrant tusk]

Thanks for the tips

[wanton stratus]

What even is that about?

Tf

[fluid verge]

huh

why cover 1/4 of the text

[wanton stratus]

So can you get banned for making a pp shaped base?

Didn’t mean to ping mb

[hot rampart]

basically yeah

shit like swastika too

[wanton stratus]

So can you like spectate other people’s bases? Otherwise I don’t see how they’d find out

[hot rampart]

u can read it ingame

gambling being highlighted cuz the irony of a gacha game

theres also some slug racing expansion

[wanton stratus]

Self reporting RA base art and getting banned would be so funny

[hot rampart]

good question but i dont know

[wanton stratus]

I have to wonder what CN was up to for this to be a necessary warning

[hot rampart]

errr i dont think this involve CN

global being global means theres more rules to follow especially EU regulations

[wanton stratus]

The base nerds who have 252 pp base shaking in their boots

[versed compass]

violence's, gambling

ak game being about violence and gambling

[wanton stratus]

Also note “content deemed inappropriate”

Winnie the Pooh probably gets you banned

[mossy tinsel]

Heh.

[tardy vigil]

So people don't post swastikas on Twitter giving bad rep to the game

At least do it in cozy discord servers, like this one

[tardy vigil]

Correction, so hg can pretend they care

[versed compass]

tutorial is actually pretty clean now

holy shit if people dont learn now they really do embrace the EN cant read meme

also eune cute animations

[quaint arch]

It explain stuffs.
Till I get stuck on it cuz I was inspecting the object

[versed compass]

new energy system look a lot easier to manage

old one was kinda pain

first map looted

[tardy vigil]

Do I need to play it every day for some new stamina

[hot rampart]

for now no cuz game only give u 1 ricefield = 2 wheat

and it aint enough for even 1 energy drink

so u have to hunt a bit early on just for energy

preferably hunt and collect wood at the same time

then craft some pumps for water

[quaint arch]

1 Pumps = 10 Clean Water

[tardy vigil]

so I can play it infinitely as with IS?

ideally I would do it some other day

[versed compass]

i think they mixed the question with (ra days) not irl days

ya you can pause it i think theres no rush

anyway mr nothing s1 good here

2 block fr

[hot rampart]

ouh yeh

play it infinitely like IS

[ebon sphinx]

rice isn't wheat, what is this slander

[hot rampart]

idk farm is farm

theres some unironic use of weird stuff

bee hunter have use now

lmao

[hot rampart]

weird stuff?

like what

[versed compass]

like bee hunter

mr nothing s1

yato s1 also is seeing more love

oh ya base building seems to not carry over

between runs

good luck

[quaint arch]

Punching through that multihit cap gate?

[versed compass]

yes

[hot rampart]

yeah becuz its just endless 1 run now

if u lose u basically just load to previous days

[versed compass]

skull tree refund points and you keep them between runs tho

[hot rampart]

i mean

[versed compass]

so if you are stuck you just end run and start a new

and have the points help you

[versed compass]

RA2 raise lol

[wanton stratus]

I did hear that she’s good for mining

[hot rampart]

i better keep it from this server

[versed compass]

yes big aoe arts is pretty good for mining

[tough matrix]

I'm going to kill myself

[tardy vigil]

I need to do weekly 400

But I don't wanna

It's so ass to wait 10 min to die at 353rd mob

[tardy vigil]

Hs-ex-1 challenge was such a clown map for me

I did only half in try mode, and decided to go in

[hot rampart]

errr your anni skip ticket?

[tardy vigil]

Apparently my defenders on each side were leaking and DPS not consistent enough: so I had to use emergency redeploy horn and penance - 3 times each

I understand that defenderknights are based and Texas is too easy, but I felt so dumb

[tardy vigil]

I need to do it once

[ebon sphinx]

[queen sequoia]

Oh this game mode is back

Time to farm and build a base

[bleak mirage]

It has taken a good chunk of us that many pulls to get shu to appear

Ganbare rat of rats

[hallow garnet]

i had to go to 211

kek

also just to be sure

RA is permanent this time right?

so i can just ignore it

and do it once i really have nothing better to do with my life

[wanton stratus]

Before you know it you’ll be like me with the longest ongoing IS#2 run on global spanning 2 years

It’s a slippery slope

[hallow garnet]

honestly. i will never do it probably

i hate this mode

and i dont care for it

is2 was my favorite IS tho

still is

i loved the cheese of the instant e2 teams

[tough matrix]

[versed compass]

btw your runs are infinite and base dont carry over to new runs

no base build cheesing

[tough matrix]

I still don't understand how to do that new event

[hot rampart]

tutorial is better now

and theres a "quest objective" so u know what u should be doing

[hot rampart]

OUH YEAH

map info ACTUALLY show the fucking map

[quaint arch]

Wait... It wasn't in the first itteration?

[hot rampart]

no it fucking doesnt

[quaint arch]

Oh....

[hot rampart]

it just shows some gray scale of the map

[versed compass]

[hot rampart]

wait what is this bonus stuff

[versed compass]

i started day 16 and eune told me to do this shit

can use your raised unused ops here

(note module unlocked is just being in module needed level)

[tardy vigil]

What is it?

Best units for is5?

[hot rampart]

top pick rate in IS5

[tardy vigil]

Ofc gummy is better the spot

[hot rampart]

im surprised ulpianus has high pickrate

[tardy vigil]

But crushers are bad

[hot rampart]

the 1st crusher is yeah

[civic linden]

Why is amiya 3rd place?

[hot rampart]

|| medic amiya || is coming in chapter 14

and she is a very good || 5* reedalter archetype especially when she deals true dmg so the heal aint getting reduced ||

[quaint arch]

It better not because of S3 shenanigans

[tardy vigil]

Why first amiya is so bad

S1 is 0 text gaming, s3 is self retreat on slow redeploy unit (I guess it is usable, but rarely)
So s2 that is supposed to be bread and butter is just shit and a noob trap

[ebon sphinx]

shes decent with some niche high def boss killing uses

...its just that she gets replaced with time

[tardy vigil]

Just use other arts?

[ebon sphinx]

or other operators

[tardy vigil]

I mean, s3 is maybe ok

But if its damage not enough, or boss gets a stage 2, or boss gets an invulnerability for 10 seconds to cast some shit...

[hot rampart]

they went for lore accuracy over good gameplay design

amiya s3 barely kills phase 1 patriot back in the day

AND this was the days where barely any operator can solo kill patriot

[ebon sphinx]

Amiya apparently had a hidden buff that allows her to tank 1 hit from Patriot without dying

it's definitely lore accuracy fight

now it's uh, "Just (insert broken op) him"

[quaint arch]

No, it wasn't apparently

I forgot where I watched the mythbusters, but it wasn't the case

[hot rampart]

errr

i think u need her lvl 80 iirc

[quaint arch]

Elysium

[half bay]

Wait what happened, did the game go through a powercreep phase or something.

Not even the Almighty Raiden Surtr solo could kill phase one just by herself back then, idk about Chalter though maybe if u get lucky with the bullet rng

[hot rampart]

are u living under a rock

[half bay]

I quit the game

got bored

I cant even remember the last time I played

[hot rampart]

technically the powercreep started to become more obvious around mlynar / sexas release

[half bay]

oh

[hot rampart]

ouh yeah chalter was one

yeah that one definitely counts

[half bay]

I think I remember the last time I played

I got that new 5* shield operator with the free 10 pull, I think it was with some siege mechanic or something

I do remember Amiya being really crap though

It was why I was super into getting the goat back then

in the end I failed, literally got Surtr/Chalter before goat girl

[hot rampart]

goat?

[half bay]

senpai girl

I forgot

she was op back in the day

[hot rampart]

eyja?

[quaint arch]

Adelle

[half bay]

yep

hold on lemme boot up this relic of a game

I think I also had dancing lady

alter operator

[quaint arch]

Ahhh yes...

Red Skadance

[half bay]

aight, after more than a year (I think) Im finally back

man I missed Nightmare

some weird things in here, what the heck is a kernel permit

im an old dokutah idk what the kids are into these days

wait its a new banner type?

and the Goat girl is on

DO I FULFILL THE PROPHECY?

[mossy tinsel]

Enjel, what's your AK ID? Be my fwend so we can share clues.

[bleak mirage]

Welcome stranger

We got new wares for sale

[half bay]

its in the ss

but idk if I will play this game consistently

Im playing wuwa genshin and star rail

its kinda hard

the one reason why I quit the game was because the energy cap was bothering me

[mossy tinsel]

What's the SS? I wanna see the 4 number # next to your username, so I can add you.

[half bay]

its not high enough

[mossy tinsel]

Well they give you more sanity items to recharge it.

[mossy tinsel]

Thanks!

[half bay]

yep most of my friends are dead

as expected

Imagine buying Eyja skin and not actually getting Eyja

Time may pass yet the sins of the forgotten continues to exist

10 pulls I yolo Eyja let us tempt fate

🙏

ok it wasn't meant to be

[mossy tinsel]

Can't you just buy her at the yellow ticket shop?

[half bay]

eh wasnt it ceobe

also I kinda dont like that, feels like cheat

[mossy tinsel]

Bruh.

[half bay]

you dont force a girl in your life thats not how it work

[mossy tinsel]

It's the game's way of showing mercy and giving us the chance to get the operator we want

That's how I got Blaze.

[half bay]

speaking of blaze

I think she was my first 6 star irrc

I never really liked her tho

[mossy tinsel]

My first 6 star is Weedy.

[half bay]

nice

good thing yours was a good waifu

she powerwash the house clean, you dont need anything else, wife material

[mossy tinsel]

Pulled her from the single pull tutorial, it was meant to be.

[half bay]

does pity save for this or nah

I forgot how ak banners work my brain is still in wuwa and genshin

[mossy tinsel]

The people here said that it's 2% higher after 50 pulls.

[half bay]

yeah but does it save for the next banner

cuz if so I'm going in

[mossy tinsel]

You get blue tickets if you pull on the blue banner.

So yes, it does save.

[half bay]

ah okay

I'll pull 10x in eyja banner and in the limited lets see which one will scam me better

[mossy tinsel]

Although, you need 2000 blue tickets for the 6 star operator in the blue ticket shop.

[half bay]

nah bro got nothing

I need to stop

Its just not meant to be

https://tenor.com/view/peepo-pepe-gif-24159111

[mossy tinsel]

You got blue tickets tho.

[half bay]

back to red and blue pill

Surtr/Chalter

the pills ease my anxiety and put me to sleep

[mossy tinsel]

You can always build up your yellow tickets and buy her in the shop in the future.

[mossy tinsel]

Friend request sent

[half bay]

yeah I have it still on queue farming manganese

(Idk what to farm lol)

this feature is pretty good, maybe they took note from Azur Lane

[tardy vigil]

do the event

its latest stages are good farm

[half bay]

aight

Lemme remember how to play the game

[tardy vigil]

also event shop is big and juicy

[half bay]

I died like 3 times to ninja girl boss lol, the one with the blocks

massive skill issue

although I was using meme team with only level 69 operators

[tardy vigil]

we have yellow cert shop and sometimes a selector pack with any waifu for 30$

[half bay]

I'm f2p

never dropped any in the game

[tardy vigil]

and a gambling addict, judging by amount of games you play

[half bay]

somehow gets scammed everytime I try to go for Eyja

[half bay]

true

its mostly fomo tho

like dawg I even took a break from AL because it just felt like too much

[mossy tinsel]

That's right! I just remembered Eyja Alter!

[half bay]

yeah

but wasnt it like u couldnt use normal and alter in the same instance

[mossy tinsel]

There was a medic Eyja operator that was limited.

[half bay]

or did they change that

[mossy tinsel]

I think you can have both in one team

[half bay]

nice

it wasnt like that before

[half bay]

Le funny number is only reserved for waifu

[mossy tinsel]

BASED

[half bay]

I'll go with this

because I have massive skill issues

ok maybe that was too much for the first stage

i kick red and blue pill for now until I die or something

[tardy vigil]

Jessica e2

NGL I probably use stronger squads

[half bay]

I like Jessica

also it was from an era where I didnt braindead Chalter obliterate everything

I still remember using fox bow girl with jessica to clear the annihilation stuff

because I had no one else

peak 4/5 stars gaming

event enemies kinda hurt tho maybe I bring more medic

[half bay]

bro what

didnt know it was bug festival

[half bay]

nice

[mossy tinsel]

You can actually cheese this stage and kill most of the rats to prevent the flies from spawning.

[half bay]

ye I figured it had somethin to do with the rats above

but it was more fun suffering for a bit

You dont really see it here but Pudding was god tier

now I have to retake the stages with red and blue pill for faster clear times

I also forgot to use Bena, she wouldve been perfect for tanking the flies as well

Fire and water pokemon

[tardy vigil]

I have Jessie alter

She's fire

grinding AK in the background while playing wuwa

this might just work

the queue feature is so good

kids have it nice these days

[quaint arch]

"Back in my days, we have to click couple of buttons every time the auto is done."

[half bay]

yeah that was annoying as hell when you had to do it twice per day for 365 days

[quaint arch]

It had me Burnout for a while

[half bay]

that along with the low sanity cap made me quit lol

[quaint arch]

"135 Cap. Deal with it "

[half bay]

just make it so that we only have to log in every 25 hours

135 sanity cap is suffering

[quaint arch]

Can't be bothered to open the game more than once per day

[half bay]

my tryhard dokutah back then was micro managing sleep schedule just to play ak on the clock and not cap sanity

my try hard back then was using practice ticket...

yours is extreme lol

no other explanation as to why ange would survive centuries later

[ebon sphinx]

the only ones who'd likely be around are the long lived like elves, vampires, various Sarkaz, Doktah, Feranmut and whatnot. Maybe Aegir/Seaborne related fuckery depending on what they decide happens. Also in latest story reveal ||perhaps including Amiya too since it seems the Civlight Eterna grants her a degree of agelessness||

[fluid verge]

500 year old bnuuy

[hot rampart]

mommy bunny

[hot rampart]

im not sure if civlight eterna actually does that

actually where u got this from

|| CN summer showcased this? ||

[ebon sphinx]

||just from what i hear of latest story||

[quaint arch]

Is this how to do it?

[hot rampart]

yeah

[ebon sphinx]

why do you have so many watermarks

[hot rampart]

thats how it shows up ingame when u preview the whole map

[half bay]

oh yeah whatever happened to that thing, did it ever make it out of beta or is it stuck in it just like the rhodes island base?

although I hope they make up some bs to keep my beloved Nightmare alive otherwise it would make me kinda depressed to play the game

Though Warfarin is probably still kicking

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-mulberry-warfarin-gif-9452124393280423349

[hot rampart]

warfarin was mentioned

[hot rampart]

for now its still in "development"

no signs of it releasing some closed or open beta cuz HG seems like idolizing valve way of handling communication

only latest news was still the technical test 1 year ago

[half bay]

imma bet somewhere from mid 2025 to january 2026 maybe

[mossy tinsel]

At least most of the operators will have descendants like Ch'en.

[ebon sphinx]

the Ch'en look alike in Endfield is a distant relative of sorts inspired by the blue one

[half bay]

The children I bred with Warfarin maybe

😳

[mossy tinsel]

Dr. Solcarmesi got busy with Weedy.

[half bay]

Look at this ancient looking annihilation setup I never bothered to optimize

Early dokutah days were wack

[quaint arch]

Such days

👴

[half bay]

glad the game still kept record

[hot rampart]

me when i look at my ancient auto and it just has siege as the 6*

https://tenor.com/view/up-carl-fredrickson-old-stiff-arthritis-gif-26296416

[half bay]

is this good for the base

[hot rampart]

no lol

its only 32%

[half bay]

for reference here is my setup

aight

[hot rampart]

3 4 2

[half bay]

tbh I need more factory worker than trader

[hot rampart]

are u orundum farming?

[half bay]

nah

full on gold bars and lmd

[hot rampart]

what about exp

[half bay]

we dont talk about exp

[hot rampart]

just go 252 so u can passive gen exp

[half bay]

I never build operator nowadays anyway and I could just stack from event store very slowly

[hot rampart]

personally i struggle more with exp than lmd

[hot rampart]

342 u can at least try orundum farming

but

orundum farming
spamming 1-7

its much better now with the auto repeat thing but yeah

still ass

[half bay]

I did try before but it was only for meme

I might actually bother with it now outside events because of the auto repeat thing

[hot rampart]

jesus fucking christ 8403 gold bars

[quaint arch]

[half bay]

yeah I was really bored

Lol

It actually went down from 10k

[hot rampart]

2 gold bars is 1500 lmd right

wait i forgot

[half bay]

wasnt it rng

[quaint arch]

1K LMD

[hot rampart]

1k lmd

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

1 bar = 500

[half bay]

also the thing with shamare team

[quaint arch]

4,201,500 LMD

[hot rampart]

ok good bot

[half bay]

actually no, it was still be terrible to farm rocks

instead of the red certificates

maybe on dead event + non red certificate day

[hot rampart]

red certificates ?

[half bay]

the thing u use to get dupes from shop

I think i was farming it before I quit

[quaint arch]

You mean Potential Tokens?

[half bay]

ye

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

wait no do u mean

wait yeah

[quaint arch]

Also to buy Dual Chip

[hot rampart]

the red cert shop

[quaint arch]

How come you forgot?

[half bay]

dual chip?

I dont see it

[quaint arch]

I forgot the name

[half bay]

is it chip cata something

catalyst

[quaint arch]

Ahhh yeah

That

[half bay]

the thing u use to stick operator coins to ascend

or promote

[hot rampart]

"its the monthly reset module data block" shop now

[quaint arch]

We call them Chip Packs

(Yes, that's the name of it)

[half bay]

I need to read up on the modules I think I also have bare bones Ptilopsis and maybe perfumer

because it was relatively new back then

I love this healer with big pp range

[quaint arch]

*Healing Range

[half bay]

very good on weirdge tile placement stages

[quaint arch]

[half bay]

wait her talent do be good thou

wait what happens if u deploy her on Ult activated Surtr, does she buff her hp 14%?

these are the questions that need answers

wait I misread

range operator only

[ebon sphinx]

i just find honeyberry very huggable, she also gives hugs too

[half bay]

🛐

[hallow garnet]

boyo fully done

i hate the trust requisite for module but yay

[hot rampart]

they improved it with summer patch where lvl 1 module is unlocked at 0 trust
lvl 2 module at 50 trust
and lvl 3 module at 100 trust

[hallow garnet]

why cant it just be full unlock day 1. this is still stupid

smh

[hot rampart]

i still think the 50 trust is better cuz most module power level comes at lvl 2

lvl 3 is just number improvement

and lvl 1 base module unlocked at 0 trust is good too and suffice for most operators with basic / shitty talent that dont get any better with lvl 2 module

[half bay]

where is my Surtr lvl 3 module that removes her hp burn

what could go wrong

[hallow garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu8shoZSUOc

Wait is he Chinese?

I mean mandarin speaking

Why he pronounce his name like this

I guess he plays on cn a lot

Ariel yt acc detected

[spark oasis]

177 pulls so far, still 0 Zuo Le.

[ebon sphinx]

same here

[hot rampart]

give me

those results

[tardy vigil]

I feel like Zuo Le is more popular here than farmer girl

[hot rampart]

maybe but u dont know the things i would do to shu

[tardy vigil]

probably fertilize

[tardy vigil]

I just realized shu touch grass gives 10% sanctuary

and that is op with tanks

I didnt pay attention, and missed an enemy at 350

[bleak mirage]

How

[tardy vigil]

I needed to press skills

at least 1 skill would be enough

maybe I should lvl 90 my typhon?

its fine, my new start will be even more refined

[tardy vigil]

healers are not needed

love the WALL, exactly what I have been building my account towards

the only one missing is horn

The genre is called tower DEFENSE so shields up

[versed compass]

https://tenor.com/view/3000years-its-been-a-long-time-gif-13250168

[hallow garnet]

the regen and the sanctuary works for unhealable stuff too btw

so if you get her to create grass on say sexas or something then put mudrock there mudrock got nice extra sustain

[tardy vigil]

I used it here on penance

tho penance doesnt care for regen

still nice

[hallow garnet]

i never used penance

probably ever

shes still lv1

she feels kinda pointless in existence to me

[tardy vigil]

well good for you

[wanton stratus]

It’s 34% with gold and exp, 36% with orundum shard prod

Exusiai btfo

[willow nymph]

Shu also gives +12% max hp to penance which works with talent

So the buff is massive

[fluid verge]

+1 extra sp

[willow nymph]

Also mod3 puts that at 15% shelter

Not sure if mod2 or 3

[tardy vigil]

does it work with her shield

someone said to me it is only base hp

[willow nymph]

Havent tested because its ass to test should be written out in prts

[tardy vigil]

I cant see hp on the barrier so

[willow nymph]

Penance talent is a % of current max hp iirc

Not initial max hp (pre deployment)

But yes shu talent doesnt modify base stats unlike nian talent

So much spaghetti

[tardy vigil]

https://youtube.com/shorts/gHgcDw6ocfc?si=i1U65Aj57-Hsnwv4

That fanart I get recommended on YouTube

[fluid verge]

what song is that

[vagrant tusk]

the name is indeed pronounced that way isn't it?

[tardy vigil]

Maybe, but it is not how an average westerner would pronounce it

[tardy vigil]

E1 silence couldn't sustain enough

Time for the radical treatment

:GoCommitLive:

As a 4* she has bigger atk than silence

[hot rampart]

as a 4* she has the highest HPS out of all medic in the game

[tardy vigil]

on skill I assume

damn mostima sucks

she looks cool, but gameplay is

1. get e2 2) get mod3 3) preferably s3m3
   you get 1 90% slow for 27 seconds

next skill is coming in 80 seconds, so never

[hot rampart]

the main thing about it is it affects even invulnerable enemies

[quaint arch]

Stall Enemies -> Group em up -> Delet Button
Profit

[tardy vigil]

I have no delet button

Only Lin s3, but it's eeh just dps

[quaint arch]

Just Borrow some

[tardy vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/rohan-jjba-daga-kotowaru-i-refuse-refuse-gif-7385649

[tardy vigil]

I honestly need more op shit

can barely clear hs-ex-3 challenge

[half bay]

Borrow some Chalter and use s2 Shamare, watch her obliterate everything because of the double Def shred

[civic linden]

I did feel like the earlier ex stages were harder than the later ones

[half bay]

Surtr hypercarry

[tardy vigil]

They felt harder compared to previous ex stages in events

So it's likely an accident

After all it's not about enemy stats, but awkward numbers and pollution you can't avoid

[quaint arch]

The Floor is Lava apparently

[half bay]

Ok I remember the last time I logged into this game

it was during the event with Penance, I got her with the free 10 pull

but I didnt actually play the game after that I just booted the game for the free stuff

Lol

[willow nymph]

You can avoid pollution tho

If enemies arent blocked and die on valve tiles they dont blight

[tardy vigil]

What?

Some enemies when die cause pollution

Blocked or unblocked

For example in ex-3 top side has turtles that pollute

[half bay]

time to do the EX stages

how hard can it be

[willow nymph]

it doesn't work if they are on valve tiles and they aren't blocked

:)

enemies on valve tile pollute the tile of their blocker

or none if they aren't blocked

[tardy vigil]

seems hard to time

I cant turn on/off my unit shooting

I can with ray

but thats it

[willow nymph]

not really plenty of ways to do it

just crowd control enemies there

slugs you can just use instant burst skills so they die the moment they lose invis by stepping on the tile

[half bay]

Surely this team can do all EX stages surely

[willow nymph]

this surtr hospital kinda suck

[tardy vigil]

there is frequently more than one lane

truly "sure grandpa, now lets get back to hospital" moment

[half bay]

ah, so April is gonna be overworked

as per usual

[tardy vigil]

why texas solo DP

[half bay]

idk

I have saileach and the guy

[willow nymph]

texas solo dp is enough

i brought 0 vg for ex

[half bay]

but I ban saileach cuz shes 6 star and the guy is dude

[willow nymph]

also there's myrtle

[tardy vigil]

or I didnt notice

I use ines and myrtle and still is pressed for dp

[willow nymph]

skill issue

[tardy vigil]

really lack this sweet bagpipe headstart

I totally should use less operators and more bagpipe

even tho she does nothing and dies in polluted water

[half bay]

use less 6 stars

overcome skill issue

tbh the only reason I dont use many 6 star is because they have overpriced requirements not because have big pp gamer ego or something

[tribal thicket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxaYHP6fUJA

[tardy vigil]

overpriced requirments?

[half bay]

mainly talking about LMD and exp

like I cant see myself going deep into Nearlter just because she can ignore deployment limit

[tardy vigil]

at least lin is immune to brainrot

[fluid verge]

Not an s1 lin user smh

[tardy vigil]

I dont think it would matter

she just solo carried ex5 when ofc after everything going smooth in practice it all crumbled with sanity at stake

[half bay]

Goodbye my exp tickets, your sacrifice will be remembered

[mossy tinsel]

@half bay Take my clue 4 and enjoy it!

[half bay]

thx

yes I cheated by using skadi but idk if surtr hospital is even possible without red lady

[willow nymph]

it is

[half bay]

it must be scuffed

my surtr was kinda dying in the red tile in this event

[willow nymph]

blemi shu rotation + nearl works

granted you need to have blemi hitting shit

[half bay]

I dont trust blemishine heal

[willow nymph]

or use extra healers instead of blemi

[tardy vigil]

Look at what they do to mimic a fraction of Vivi's power

[willow nymph]

call me when vivi starts solo dpsing

[tardy vigil]

[tardy vigil]

I will call you when Vivi starts solo living

[half bay]

hold on lemme read her up idk that op

[mossy tinsel]

Vivi is the deer girl right?

[tardy vigil]

I'm being mischievous

[tardy vigil]

Yes

[mossy tinsel]

Neat.

[devout zenith]

YUWEN NOOOOOOOOO

[wanton stratus]

He got got by the gamba

[civic linden]

Wait does folinic's talent work agaisnt the polluted water?

[mossy tinsel]

All I see is a tweet without any links?

[hot rampart]

yeah its a link to the tweet

[willow nymph]

※ At present, it is a natural environmental injury, including toxic haze , active source stones , heat pump channels , magma ejection sites , and sandstorms

(no)

[mossy tinsel]

Oh. I thought it was a tweet that leads to a link explaining why Shu came back to life.

[hot rampart]

the information is in the tweet and OP self replies

obviously in japanese

(machine translate is readable as i mentioned)

[mossy tinsel]

Right. Thanks Kama.

[hot rampart]

u are wc

[tardy vigil]

Does anyone here read every side story text?

[civic linden]

I've read a few of them

[tardy vigil]

I understand reading a select few you like

I am still reading virtuosa one

Ok so: does anyone read current one with shu?

[spark oasis]

I cannot be bothered with the Sui plot at all.

It was interesting reading Who Is Real (Dusk's event), but after that, the stories just got so wordy, full of idioms that don't translate properly, as well as excessive amounts of exposition that held no bearing to the story at large, that I simply stopped caring during Invitation to Wine.

[wanton stratus]

I read Invitation to Wine and it was so taxing I didn’t read another event story until Il Siracusano (8 months later)

[hallow garnet]

i barely ever read ak story

too wordy

too much blabla

[mossy tinsel]

I like the Blacksteel story because it's simple and it has Jessica in it.
Sad rich cat robs bank and goes to the New Frontier with old angel.

[hot rampart]

i did

[quaint arch]

I don't read stories if I can skip it

Gameplay is what I'm here for

And TACHANKA, of course

[hot rampart]

i read most sidestory

i skip the vignette ones
(the one where u use some film tapes to unlock the stories)

[quaint arch]

(||Man, I still haven't Beat 5 Cells Difficulty||)

(||Should I just do Custom Mode?||)

[hot rampart]

simply git gud

[wanton stratus]

Ngl, I like the vignettes more than the “regular” events. The vignette stories are short enough that the writers have to carefully consider what to include, meanwhile the “normal” events are written in straight fuckin Yappanese

[hot rampart]

yeah thats fair
i do go back on reading vignette event

i skip them just becuz procrastination

sidestory i rather read as i clear the stage

vignette since they way that the story is not tied to the stage at all and a seperate thing make me go "i can read these later"

[wanton stratus]

Yeah, for sure

Always a bummer when an event stage has dialogue/environmental storytelling in the stage itself but you skipped the stories of the previous 7 stages to get there, so you just get spoiled

[hot rampart]

what was this?

[ebon sphinx]

events I read recently are like... Rides to Lake Silbernherz(Kjerag 2), Lone Trail(SPEEHS) and Come Catastrophes or Wake of Vultures(Blacksteel)

[wanton stratus]

MH stages were like that, although that “story” wasn’t very intricate

[hot rampart]

honestly that is just rathalos being everywhere kinda thing and he go back to nest is more like MH gameplay reference thing rather than story

i think this is a criticism of AK storytelling that i want to point out

AK gameplay is very disconnected to the overall story
(an upside for people who skips everything and just here for gameplay tho)

[wanton stratus]

https://youtu.be/FlTNXH99fVE?si=JdNwp55UGH_v7Obw

[hot rampart]

only certain parts in main story has gameplay environment story telling

frostnova fight against greythroat, blaze , amiya

and talulah killing civilians

idk if they can make these any better

but if ones were to play RA1 and RA2 u can see how they can incorporate storytelling into gameplay directly

[wanton stratus]

Passenger getting killed when he appears at random in a stage while trying to get the hidden third ending in RA1 was peak

[hot rampart]

[quaint arch]

Ahhh yes, of course.
I need to Parry & Dodge better.
Thank you for the advice

[hot rampart]

simply turn on the option to make parry easier

[quaint arch]

Assist Mode

You know what? I think I got an idea for Custom Games.
Cursed Sword with Damned Aspect

[hot rampart]

i like that they dont penalize u if u use it (aside from the leaderboard ranking stuff with other players)

[quaint arch]

Indeed

[tardy vigil]

Wdym?

[hot rampart]

gameplay and story in arknight feels like a seperate thing

sure u have all the stage themed based on the place the story is taking place in but it still feel disconnect

[tardy vigil]

I feel like unit's abilities loosely remind of their lore

[hot rampart]

thats another matter entirely and things like a deaf girl being the best caster for 4 years felt out of place

[tardy vigil]

Wdym another, it is story related

[hot rampart]

they entirely depends on

1. u pull the character
2. u use said character in the stage

this still isnt accurate to the story they involve in cuz some story parts have the character be absent to the stage u wanna use em in

[tardy vigil]

Even if you use the character after the event their abilities are still tied to their lore

[hot rampart]

yes and that is gameplay specific

[tardy vigil]

Ofc, this is a game about team building and such

[hot rampart]

correct but im strictly taking about storytelling in events

not how accurate the characters are

[tardy vigil]

In HSR I can fight to save space china using worst enemies of space china

[tardy vigil]

It is part of the whole "narrative element"

[hot rampart]

it is a part of em and frankly speaking not good enough

[tardy vigil]

I don't understand how you imagine gameplay being more related to the story

Giving you a free unit and forcing to use them? That sucks ngl

[hot rampart]

thats the issue becuz Arknight lack it

1 free unit with all other 11 can be substituted in with your own i dont see how this sucks

[tardy vigil]

I don't remember any examples where this works besides single person rpg

[hot rampart]

it works and theres actually examples as i said

RA 1 and RA 2

[tardy vigil]

Yeah, those aren't real

[hot rampart]

|| chapter 14 too will have similar effect to what RA does with their ingame story telling ||

[hot rampart]

ty for making this not worth discussing with u

end of story

[tardy vigil]

I didn't play them

Maybe it is good

Sorry, AK has too much content for me to play ra2

And I can't play ra1

[hot rampart]

and saying them arent real isnt helping

[tardy vigil]

Twas a joke

They are not real to me because I need to do too much before them

[hot rampart]

it wasnt funny
