Trust farming

My favourite

[hallow garnet]

so

theres no farming spots in ch14 now that the event is over right?

[quaint arch]

Slowing Aerial Units despite the tooltip saying it's for ground units

[hallow garnet]

so the old mat farming table still holds up?

[wanton stratus]

Honestly, I don’t know

There could be

[hallow garnet]

ooh

they are finally selling module datablocks

I'm so over it waiting Walter and Legos to get 100% Trust in Alt.
So I do this instead.

(Now I don't have Alloy Blocks)

[wanton stratus]

Thorns should be added as well

[vagrant tusk]

[civic linden]

Man this gamemode is really fun actually

Hope we get a second one at some point

[mossy tinsel]

Right? It's super fun to play!

My favorite is the Positional Football!

[bleak mirage]

I’d prefer the co op lag be fixed

[mossy tinsel]

Yeah, me too.

[wanton stratus]

Well, I’m in trouble

Game crashes as soon as the map finishes loading in the main coop game mode

[hot rampart]

wack

[mossy tinsel]

They definitely need to fix that.

I think the Icebreaker Games just break older devices like mine and Ben's tablet.

[wanton stratus]

Part of it is also the systemic problem of planned obsolescence but it’s not like HG doesn’t have some optimization to do, either. The game crashing from triggering a series of Reedic S3 explosions is a meme for a reason

[vagrant tusk]

I stopped playing Arknights on my 4 year old phone since last year

[versed compass]

foot ball first match was stressing

my ally ruining my shots

[versed compass]

god dammit each player just fuck up my weedy shots

[willow nymph]

i mean uh .... that's not a dev issue it's a player issue

reed s3 isn't laggy in normal play only when you make it burst billions

[wanton stratus]

“Damn, this player is messing up my strategy” - me, using Typhon S3 locked on to the ball making it fly all over the field in unpredictable ways

[versed compass]

they deploy texas on s3 and push ball back all the time

[wanton stratus]

[tardy vigil]

It is a dev issue

You can't blame users for crushing the application, it's up to you to fix edge cases - especially such obvious ones like a million explosions

[versed compass]

fixing an issue no one really have (bursting million is just a meme not an issue) seems like a waste of resources

its like asking valve to fix infinite mines lag that techies caused at one point in dota2 that really happened in 1 game out of billions

[willow nymph]

That's not an issue they can fix
Its your phone closing the app because it eats too much active memory and lags because of it

And why did it do that ?
Because you decided it was a good idea to stall 20 million enemy aand then use reed s3

It is not a gamebreaking bug

It is not a performance issue

It is not even a bug

[versed compass]

even od nukes were not laggy as i would like too

[hot rampart]

u guys didnt do the SSS flower boss with reed and it tells

[tardy vigil]

because this app shouldnt eat this much memory

it is a bug

[willow nymph]

I can make any game crash by overload

And ngl ak is darn bug free considering the market

[versed compass]

tbh that lagged without reed help

[mossy tinsel]

Okay, first of all, Reed is not even the problem here. At least for me, I've never even seen her in my games yet.
Second of all, the crash usually happens either before I play or after clearing the stage.

[mossy tinsel]

@wanton stratus You got clue 5

My thanks

[wanton stratus]

Can I get exactly 400 LMD from somewhere?

[quaint arch]

No.

Just know that 10 Sanity on Stage = 120 LMD (Perfect Clear)

[wanton stratus]

For real?

[quaint arch]

For real

[wanton stratus]

I can work with this

Thank you, Dr. Yuwen

Without mods?

No you can't (defo not if you act reasonably and not Speedrun glitch hunt)

[tardy vigil]

I only played hsr and re99, never encountered noticeable bugs there - not crushes for sure

I give AK some slack since it has much more freedom of combining crazy shit, but still

[willow nymph]

"If you act reasonably" reed s3 crazhing your phone never happens if you play reasonably

So eh

Thought that was on the table

[tardy vigil]

How people set it up?

Put defenders in front of slugs?

[next locust]

xd

[fluid verge]

Someone is a hater

[mossy tinsel]

Hater on W-Alter?

[hot rampart]

this guy use magallan so a tryhard

having wisadel inside his stage is an insult

[mossy tinsel]

Oh, so a petty tryhard doktah then.

Can Weedy tank Aak? If so, then in their face!

[violet vortex]

Probably pretty annoying trying to play a stage then the other person decides to skip it, they gotta play with friends only

[willow nymph]

P sure she can at max she has like 400 def

Weedy aint an op you dislike so never aaked

Also its p easy to aak melee ops if you use warfarin with him

Because if you retreat warf asap you're getting a flat hp loss

Can also kill penance through that cos it ignore shield

Just cast like 3 time

[mossy tinsel]

HA! At least Weedy tanks it like a champ!

[spark oasis]

Iirc, Pushers have better DEF than half of the guard classes.

Yep. It's Reapers, Liberators, Arts Fighters and Instructors that have more DEF.

Otherwise she's on par, or better than a Guard in that respect. It's just that she has lower Max HP

[tribal thicket]

[undone glen]

I should ask my friend again if i wanna pull
He said to pull for Degen instead of Joint Ops
And i got her right after that
Now my wishlist is back to only Mizuki (again)

[undone glen]

It's not that ppl hate Wis'adel because of her power this time
It's mostly because some ppl just deploy her in the most infuriating spot possible, and didn't remove the rock when pinged

If you can just sabo them to win the stage, why not?

I always take Wis'adel everytime i got the 1st pick because of that one reason too
And wait until they deployed everything before dropping her

[tribal thicket]

And I thought I was toxic, but at least I don't grief people when they take MUH PRECIOUS DEPLOYMENT SPOT

Play around it bruh

Its coop

How some people turn some casual event into a toxic griefing fest is beyond me

[vagrant tusk]

I never felt griefed by others or vice versa

I just help out if their side is lack of something

[undone glen]

There's some case where they just deploy Wis'adel facing to the wrong side that ends up making the stage much harder than it should be
Like that one stage with the laser thing

I never did it myself since i didn't have the sabo ops, but i understand why ppl did these kinda shit

[undone glen]

Technically, any op could do this if the player is just like that

Using Aak is just one way to outplay them

Sometimes i wonder if ppl is trolling or actually didn't read shit

[ebon sphinx]

lol, lmao

[queen sequoia]

Happen a lot at this stage.

I kind of like this event. Really fun and something new.

Also a great way to refill your friends list. In case you have some that no longer play the game anymore.

[willow nymph]

Jesus those guys suck

[wanton stratus]

The person who didn’t block the crystal beam did nothing wrong except bring Hellagur to co-op

[ebon sphinx]

is coop any hard

[wanton stratus]

I haven’t been able to beat a single match

[ebon sphinx]

for what reason

[undone glen]

I use cloud because holy fuck it's lagging so bad in my potato phone

[wanton stratus]

Game crashes

[sharp tartan]

No its simple enough

[versed compass]

normal co op is easy assuming you have good ops

foot ball is where i get my ass handed to me

by that i mean my ally end up being an enemy too

[hot rampart]

https://fxtwitter.com/NoContextArkn/status/1858792859765469363?t=JoQp17drXH81SKr0ueORmg&s=19

this is so me

[hallow garnet]

ah i have yet to do this event

[versed compass]

its pretty fun if you dont horribly lag

[undone glen]

The delay on deployment can fuck up your setup sometimes
I can still feel it even while playing on cloud

[hot rampart]

its worse in balls match

[hallow garnet]

so dont play sexas

got it

im gonna carry males only

wait do i need to make a full team?

and we pick from each other

or something

tutorial was confusing

[undone glen]

Some stages kinda need fast redeploy actually

Like the one that need you to take the towers

[hallow garnet]

is there any daily for this?

or can i do it in one go

[undone glen]

The high pick will always be in your squad unless your teammate got the same op
Then it'll become draft pick

The low pick, you get to pick them after the draft to complete your squad

Let's say, you and your teammate got 2 of the same high pick
The 1st player will pick one, the 2nd op will go to you

[hallow garnet]

so uh. put shit i want in my high pick and put shit i dont care for in my low?

or

whats the point of this

[undone glen]

I forgot what it's called again
Was it top pick or high pick

[undone glen]

Yea
Put your priorities in the top pick

[hallow garnet]

6 of each i suppose

[undone glen]

There's also squad buff based on your ops

I personally always go for the supporter/specialist one
Since it gives SP regen boost

[hallow garnet]

but

males

it's a guardfest

i was thinking zuo logos mlynar fedex

and uhh 2 more

[undone glen]

What was guard buff again
I think that one's good too

You only need 5 to trigger the buff

[hallow garnet]

hm

i have to break the male only rule then

[undone glen]

I forgot what's guard partner again
Was it VG
You can just bring that guy from Texas event

[wanton stratus]

Whoever is bringing Vigil to co-op is asking to get Aak:ed

[fluid verge]

bring limited team to co op

damn my p6 limited only squad missing 3 more slots

[willow nymph]

You get more of your top pick if there's no conflict

[hallow garnet]

so at the end it's not gonna be an equal divisoin?

like the final team should be 6

for each

no?

or is our complete team more than 12 ops?

[willow nymph]

Its 12

But basically game goes
You get all your top picks EXCEPT IF THE OTHER HAS THE SAME TOP PICKS in that case you get 50% of conflicting top picks and sp does other player

Then you pick low picks to replace your top picks

[next locust]

how is ur wallet still full

I don't wanna try if it's mid

[ebon sphinx]

IG-3 seems to be a noob filter because some might fail to realize you need to capture gramophones...

[hot rampart]

literacy filter

[ebon sphinx]

what's funny is that I actually cleared the EX version of that because somebody read

but still haven't fully cleared the beginner ver

[versed compass]

pretty fun if you are not lagging

[versed compass]

surely that never happen hides teh first game i had in coop aside

tho i usually bring fast ways to control it in other runs

so i really dont need ally help to do it

wis/mizuki/mlynar kinda enough to do it

[ebon sphinx]

I guess it's a good idea to bring 0 block operators for that one

[ebon sphinx]

I don't think this guy has any idea what the F are they doing

luckily this is the beginner stage but sheesh

[willow nymph]

This is why you run aak

I lost a co-op game cuz someone tried to deploy Surtr against an artillery drone and it killed all their stuff

And they were playing bottom screen

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/668917468080898058/894013238403031121/image0.gif

Surtr was legit killing gamers’ brain cells

[ebon sphinx]

i rarely see Surtr for now...its mainly Waltuh

the one thats killing brain cells

[quaint arch]

Glad to see Surtr keep holding the record of making players brain dead

(Stares at Walter White)

[mossy tinsel]

I mean, they do big damage though.

[hallow garnet]

okay the coop event is kinda pog

i like it

very small lag only

and i usually get my picks cuz most ppl dont play males except logos mlynar maybe

zuo has been mvping his way thru this event so far

[wanton stratus]

I wish the event didn’t crash my game

[mossy tinsel]

My Positional Football matches went smoothly with my tablet so far.

Although, one of my partners suddenly left a match.

[hallow garnet]

i dont like the football one

the regular stages are fine, bastion is also fine

[mossy tinsel]

Really? I find it super fun, especially when I use Weedy!

[wanton stratus]

Football is the only game mode where I’ve been able to complete matches

[mossy tinsel]

No. I haven't upgraded my robot yet.

[wanton stratus]

She’s not high priority by any means, I just wanted to get maximum mileage out of her while she still isn’t max trust so I did a lot of 3:50 recruitments looking for pots

[mossy tinsel]

I'm currently working on Schwarz now.

[wanton stratus]

Oooh

She served me well in the past

[mossy tinsel]

I'm thinking of M3-ing her S3.

[wanton stratus]

That’s probably her best skill, unless one feels like grinding out S2 crit RNG

You don’t have Pozëmka, by chance?

[mossy tinsel]

That's the pink wolf girl?

[wanton stratus]

Yes

[mossy tinsel]

No, I don't have her.

[wanton stratus]

I see

She’s generally an improvement over Schwarz

Powercreep and all that

I think she should make her shoperator debut relatively soon

Just so you know

[mossy tinsel]

Hmm, I like Schwarz's design more though.

[wanton stratus]

You do you

[mossy tinsel]

It's a little unfortunate for me that I missed another chance to get Angelina.

[wanton stratus]

Did you?

She’s not all that

But her IS exclusive module made her good again

[mossy tinsel]

I just want to blast my enemies into space with Weedy or make them loop around with Shu included.

[wanton stratus]

Then Ange is your girl ig

[mossy tinsel]

Although, I don't have enough resources for her rn. I'm slowly building up Schwarz.

[civic linden]

I remember being able to beat lone trail with no auto attack niche but i don't quite remember how...so imma try again

Some of the new units should make it much easier

[wanton stratus]

But NTR has auto attacks…

Or do AFK skills not count as autos?

[civic linden]

her S2 aparently is considered part of the niche since it activates immediately on deplyment and she retreats when it ends

[wanton stratus]

Oh, okay

I didn’t know that

Guess that mean Kirito is allowed too

[civic linden]

nah

she doesn't retreat so she can attack off skill

[wanton stratus]

Just retreat her before she auto attacks

[civic linden]

[wanton stratus]

Sexas S2 as well

Maybe “no auto attack but broken” could be a funny niche

Młynar, Sexas S2, Kirito, Lin, Goldenglow in the corner

[willow nymph]

Niche was orignally defined as needing
unable to perform auto attacks somewhere in the skill/talent/trait of the op

So ntrk s2 is iffy just like how she's iffy in 1p relay

Because you open the floodgates to passive skills and other not in the spirit of the niche thing

[wanton stratus]

That makes more sense

[wanton stratus]

Caster tag dropped from my top op recruitment, but this could have been worse (Siege pot)

[mossy tinsel]

@wanton stratus What does it mean to allow Kristen to override 6 planetary debris?

[wanton stratus]

Her overriding it is when she encases the planetary debris in metal and it does AoE damage to nearby ops

[mossy tinsel]

There's only 3 in the stage through.

[wanton stratus]

Yeah, but you can attack the debris to clear her “override” state which means she can potentially override it again

Since it gives her dmg reduction

[mossy tinsel]

I already did that, but it still won't accept that.

[wanton stratus]

Basically, you can’t let her override more than 3 debris in phase 1 since when she enters phase 2 she overrides all 3 simultaneously

[wanton stratus]

That’s weird, are you sure you’re doing the right stage?

[mossy tinsel]

CW-10 right?

[wanton stratus]

Yeah

[mossy tinsel]

Okay, so I'm supposed to kill Kristen ASAP?

[wanton stratus]

That’s right

[mossy tinsel]

Do I just leave the debris alone?

[wanton stratus]

“Killing” the debris quickly with fast-redeploy operators is the best way, since Kristen gains dmg reduction when they are on the field

[mossy tinsel]

Finally! I was so confused on what to do at first, thanks for the better explanation Ben!

[wanton stratus]

[wanton stratus]

Might check him out then

Although I don’t know much about Vtubers

[mossy tinsel]

Me too, but I still enjoyed watching his videos.

[mossy tinsel]

@wanton stratus I just realized I don't have to spend money on that Exclusive Monthly Card Special Access, all I had to do was click claim and that's it.
I thought the game was trying to force me to buy that like any other gacha games.

[wanton stratus]

Oh no

[mossy tinsel]

I was like "Damn, even Arknights is trying to pester me with stupid micro transactions I don't care for?", and press the X to close.

Oh well, not like I'm pulling any operators in this current banner.

[wanton stratus]

Ulpianus should be next though

You wanted him iirc?

[mossy tinsel]

Who?

[wanton stratus]

New AH guy

[mossy tinsel]

The anchor dude?

Ah shit...

[ebon sphinx]

Gladiaa's former husband JoJo in another life

[wanton stratus]

Ye

[mossy tinsel]

Can you blame me though?
This is a gacha game and gacha games are predatory

[wanton stratus]

Arknights less than most, thankfully

But yes, they are inherently predatory

[mossy tinsel]

I thought it was one of those In-your-face-buy-our-micro-transactions-you-filthy-consumer Every time you login

[wanton stratus]

W/Logos was the anniversary banner on CN

Every player got a free monthly to celebrate

[mossy tinsel]

Would've been nice if I knew that...

[wanton stratus]

It lasts until December 11th

So you’ll miss a little less than half the claims

[mossy tinsel]

I was just like Graythroat and the free claim was the infected, not knowing it was trying to be helpful to me.

I misjudged it and now I feel dumb.

[ebon sphinx]

💸

[wanton stratus]

[mossy tinsel]

Half of that free 6K is gone because of my misjudgement.

[wanton stratus]

My condolences

[mossy tinsel]

It's fine tbh, I'm still able to get the other half.

[hot rampart]

are you for real

https://tenor.com/view/reverse-cat-eating-cat-eating-reversed-gif-10212568605145504353

[hallow garnet]

can anybody do bastion ex with me?

the ppl i get are sus

[wanton stratus]

Can’t right now, sorry

Oh wait, you said EX

I haven’t beaten the normal one yet even

[hallow garnet]

normal is easily soloable tbh

but ex is too tough

and ppl dont know what to do

so it falls apart xd

but ye it would be nice to duo it with someone who i can communicate with

also could breeze thru the rest of the EX shit

[violet vortex]

Deploy W

Problem solved

[hallow garnet]

not quite

bastion ex is finally something walter cant solo

anyway if anybody has time for me pong me

[mossy tinsel]

Yes.

I did a Greythroat and misjudged that like it's an infected.

[wanton stratus]

Nearl with no ears man

Thats the real mvp

[hallow garnet]

anybody free for bastion ex now?

[mossy tinsel]

No.

[hallow garnet]

nyaaaa

[mossy tinsel]

Nyo~

You already know I won't be much help considering I just started this account this February and don't have a lot of heavy hitters.

[wanton stratus]

I already beat it since I got lucky with a partner

First time I tried EX we lost on round 1

Second match we both locked in

[mossy tinsel]

Ben! Go play Advanced Bastion with Ariel!

[wanton stratus]

Oh my bad, I forgot to mention I’m not available either

[mossy tinsel]

Welp.

[wanton stratus]

Yeah

I hope Ariel gets through it

[mossy tinsel]

Did you win Ariel?

[hallow garnet]

no

bafoons

i'll try again tomorrow

maybe im doin it the wrong way

i should just cover top and bot, give walter and whoever the other guy wants let them cover mid

it's just that we didnt really make use of the coop event together here

[strong rampart]

Exactly

I’m too busy shitposting

[mossy tinsel]

Tene please, we need you play Arknights, so that we can force you to play Icebreaker with us.

Hello darkness, my old friend

[mossy tinsel]

It's already been 30 days for you?

[wanton stratus]

Apparently, yes

[mossy tinsel]

Wowee

[next locust]

rip

[hallow garnet]

i am here once again

to beg for help

in like 30mins or so

for bastion ex

klidnasfdnaskdnlsf

[next locust]

LOL

[hallow garnet]

i'll give it another with a random

but i swear

i have the worst luck

[next locust]

just solo bastion ex 4head

[hallow garnet]

u think i didnt try? xddd

if u solo theres not enough workers

so building the shits is way way slower

[next locust]

arknights randoms cant be worse than eu solo q randoms

surely

!!!

[wanton stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-aware-twitch-forsen-emote-gif-25354609

[mossy tinsel]

Well, if you can't find anyone, I can do my best to help.

[hallow garnet]

theres nobody

honestly i dont even need you to pull out some big guns

just someone who i can coordinate with

[mossy tinsel]

Okay, how do we communicate during the Bastion stage?

[hallow garnet]

we can discuss the strat beforehand

here

this chat is usually deadge anyway

we breathe some life into it

did u do it alrdy btw?

or do i need to explain the stage

[mossy tinsel]

I only did the beginner stage and completed all 7 waves.

[hallow garnet]

okay ex is largely the same

just more stats

so if you can cover top and bot

i can cover mid

cause mid needs more firepower

and building wise we build the workers first then the deploy limits

so yellow shit first, white shit after

wave 2 has some on top right lane, 3 some on bot right, 4-5 has 1-1 big guy on top left, 6 has the 2 pitchers on bot left and thats pretty much it

but if you want to u can just focus on mid and i can focus on top bot and help on mid with the leftovers. top bot is less work thats why i offered that you do it

honestly maybe i can do it with a random too

i just need to ping them mid and pray they build in the right order

oh and faust comes at the end of wave 7 but thats just ungabunga

[mossy tinsel]

@hallow garnet How's this?

[hallow garnet]

weedy huh

[mossy tinsel]

To push.

Push really hard.

[hallow garnet]

well that lineup wont be enough to cover mid fully probably

[mossy tinsel]

Hmm.

[hallow garnet]

thats way too many defenders

not enough damage

[mossy tinsel]

Oh. Should I get more Guards?

[hallow garnet]

a saria or a shu is plenty

you plop her down in front of the mid box and chill

[mossy tinsel]

Here my other operators.

[hallow garnet]

ah wait ur typing from phone too

where the heck are your dpses?

[mossy tinsel]

Don't worry, I have two devices.

Who's considered a DPS operator?

[hallow garnet]

like

[mossy tinsel]

Like Blaze?

[hallow garnet]

kinda

like gg eyja typhon thorns mlynar sa surtr sexas yato etc etc

[mossy tinsel]

Those 6* operators I don't have.

I have a couple 4* DPS operators.

[hallow garnet]

wait how old are you?

gamewise

i may have had the wrong expectations

[mossy tinsel]

I started playing Arknights again this February.

[hallow garnet]

aaaah

okay

makes sense

so what u have on screen is all u have in terms of 6*?

[mossy tinsel]

2024-1-2 according to my profile card.

[hallow garnet]

okay give me a second i'll figure out what you'll be doing

and give u plan

safe to say i'll be covering mid

and im taking walter cause u dont have module xd

swap walter with blaze

[mossy tinsel]

Here are my 6* operators so far.

[hallow garnet]

omg

unleveled zuo

SHAME

[mossy tinsel]

They're expensive to level up okay?

[hallow garnet]

yeah i get it 😄

i remember how it was for me too year 1

[mossy tinsel]

I just got done with Schwarz as a bare minimum.

[hallow garnet]

alright. blaze can take bot right, penance can take bot left probably, not sure how beefy those pitchers will be, bp can support that probably if u plomp them down somewhere in the middle of bot

weedy can take top left maybe or u can throw cuora with schartz on top

and blaze on top right

shu will be our tank

in the middle

and thats really all i need from you

rest i can cover

[mossy tinsel]

@hallow garnet Better?

[hallow garnet]

myrtle. you need myrtle

dp doesnt regen automatically here

it's an anni type stage

take texas too

click and meteor are not needed

[mossy tinsel]

What about my class bonus?

[hallow garnet]

negligible

you'll get the universal bonus instead

more than nothing ig

[hallow garnet]

but if u want the sniper bonus then just swap click with myrtle

and thats fine

[mossy tinsel]

How's that?

[hallow garnet]

thats fine

ah the caster sniper bonus is kinda useless

since it only works if i were to block for you

and you will be blocking for yourself

[mossy tinsel]

Oh okay, then it's not important.

[hallow garnet]

so you'll be best off with the universal buff

atk def hp boost

oh right. you might wanna add a medic 😄

so you dont die

tho i can carry global healing but eyja has a long ass cd

[mossy tinsel]

How many do we take again? Is it 10 or 12?

I can just bring 2 medics if it's 12 slots.

[hallow garnet]

you wont have the slots for all of this to be deployed tbh

so 1 medic

i guess

[mossy tinsel]

Well my medics are all in the low pick section then.

[hallow garnet]

but there wont be low pick

cause we dont be clashing with ops

so you will take all your top pick

[mossy tinsel]

Okay, then I gotta replace someone.

[hallow garnet]

may

[mossy tinsel]

Who's a better medic?
Sussurro?

[hallow garnet]

• wave 1: put shu (take s1) in the middle, start making dp with myrtle (somewhere far away), and throw bp on middle right for me. at the end of the wave we build the yellow devices first
• wave 2 has some on top right lane (plop down blaze for this and forget about her) - we finish the yellow devices and start the white ones
• wave 3 some on bot right but no high ground yet so plop down penance for this - at the end we build the high ground on top and bot for you and i'll build something for mid
• wave 4-5 has 1-1 big guy on top left (we built high ground for this) probably cuora+schwartz can take them with weedy supporting from the side? not sure but you can figure this out
• wave 6 has the 2 pitchers on bot left and thats pretty much it and no more on top so you can redeploy blaze behind penance or something for this maybe on bot left with bp helping from the high ground. not sure. blaze wont charge up in time so this might not work at all
• wave 7 is just middle so you can help me block

@mossy tinsel

healerwise perfumer should do great

sussuro is fine too

but perfumer global heal is nice

[mossy tinsel]

I have both

[hallow garnet]

i know 😄

[mossy tinsel]

Which skill for Lena?

[hallow garnet]

who

[mossy tinsel]

Perfumer.

[hallow garnet]

ah

doesnt matter

i like s2 more cause the atk buff is higher and pumps up the global heal too

interval increase doesnt matter for it

[hallow garnet]

yea lets try this. im not sure if we will have enough dmg but we will see 😄

wave 7 will be pretty chaotic

Room ID [6f8903c11kndm1], Dr. Ariel#0798 invites you to a match

blaze top

[mossy tinsel]

I ran out of Deployment slots

I have no DP for ger

I have to put Myrtle back

???

BP?

[hallow garnet]

bruh

im covering all lanes now

xd

there will be another red guy on top

take care of it pls

[mossy tinsel]

Hey, this is a lot harder then I expected

And I'm not getting enough DP

Or slots to put them down

[hallow garnet]

how much limit u have left?

2 right?

it should be shared

block for me there

[mossy tinsel]

Cuora is gonna die without a healer

[hallow garnet]

omg

wrong

slot

xdd

and wrong typhon skill

jesus

watch for bottom left

2 pitchers

penance

and a dps

cuora can retreat

no more on top left

omg

i remembered wrong xddd

i think blaze can retreat now

[mossy tinsel]

Where? I hav slot

[hallow garnet]

it should be mid only

i got this

😄

oh we got unlcuky

we got the bird boss too

xddd

disaster

your roster is uh...i dunno how to make better use of it

[mossy tinsel]

Okay, keep Myrtle no matter what

[hallow garnet]

well ideally the top right holder could be a cg

vg

texas

can hold it

probably

and then u have constant dp flow

[mossy tinsel]

Wanna try again?

[hallow garnet]

i need to reassess

cause i basically covered all lanes now

and thats why i ran out of dp

im sure someone did this solo tho

[mossy tinsel]

I realized getting rid of Myrtle for Blaze was a bad move on my part.

[hallow garnet]

we need to figure out how can you cover top and bot

[mossy tinsel]

Sorry Ariel.

[hallow garnet]

nono it's okay boo

we are learning

this is why i like this event

[mossy tinsel]

I need a healer for Cuora up top

[hallow garnet]

and then what

who kills the red guy

if cuora blocks farther back

[mossy tinsel]

Schwarz

[hallow garnet]

okay

we have to leave at least 1 slot open at all times

[mossy tinsel]

I can put Schwarz behind Cuora

[hallow garnet]

so i can emergency sexas

[mossy tinsel]

No BP on mid then.

[hallow garnet]

at the start i need bp

just until we can deploy more

cause before throns skill is up hes not strong enough and shu will leak

[mossy tinsel]

Then how am I gonna put Blaze, Cuora, and Schwarz on top?

[hallow garnet]

it's not the same wave

wave 1-2 is when i need bp

[mossy tinsel]

Okay.

BP on wave 1.

I just hope I have enough DP and slots in the end.

[hallow garnet]

blaze is such a waste on top right tbh

those mobs there are weak af

[mossy tinsel]

Alright.

Texas then.

[hallow garnet]

i think texas can handle them with a healer

but we wont have a healer there wave 2

cuz no high ground

at the end of wave 3 is when we can build high ground there

[mossy tinsel]

She can stun for a few seconds

[hallow garnet]

wave 3 is when i can put down eyja first

for the global heal

[mossy tinsel]

Marker on BP means to remove right?

Like later on.

[hallow garnet]

yeah

i meant that

after throns is active i don tneed bp anymore

i will build a high ground above thorns somewhere

u can put perfumer there

[mossy tinsel]

BP looking down on deployment right?

[hallow garnet]

yeah

if she looks on left she will take too much enemies down and thorns wont stack up

i feel like we could use another healing defender too

fr wave 7

[mossy tinsel]

I have Gumi

[hallow garnet]

i need to go out and remake my team

i can put in saria

wave 7 will build the highground behind mid

and u can put schwartz somewhere there to support thorns

maybe the top most tile on mid

i'll ping it

[mossy tinsel]

Schwarz S3 only 4 tiles straight from her.

[hallow garnet]

i know

[mossy tinsel]

Okay.

[hallow garnet]

she can snipe away the shit that comes down

on the top mid row

i might need to carry reedic

aaahhh anyway lets see

Room ID [30j9kh92dg7ack], Dr. Ariel#0798 invites you to a match

all im asking is for you to make sure i dont have to look at top and bot 😄

[mossy tinsel]

If I don't run out of DP or slots.

[hallow garnet]

texas top should pump you

full of dp

[mossy tinsel]

No slots

[hallow garnet]

the fk

did we do wrong

throw it

hmm

retreat shu

[mossy tinsel]

Huh?

[hallow garnet]

we throw it

😄

[mossy tinsel]

What happened?

[hallow garnet]

well

we messed up

thorns died somehow

well not somehow

i used sexas to save top

so i couldnt save throns

[mossy tinsel]

Didn't he survive last time?

[hallow garnet]

he did

cause of sexas

[mossy tinsel]

Oh

[hallow garnet]

😄

[mossy tinsel]

I mean, I could've dropped Blaze after Texas retreated.

[hallow garnet]

yeah i just didnt know if u were seeing it 😄

so i panicked

[mossy tinsel]

I was looking at.

[hallow garnet]

ah phone is dying

lol

[mossy tinsel]

I was just waiting for the slot to be available.

[hallow garnet]

okay let's put this to rest for now

we can finish it later

we did 6 waves alrdy

so thats good alrdy

gotta charge phone

[mossy tinsel]

Are you sure?

You could keep playing while it's charging.

That's what I would do.

[hallow garnet]

true

it just gets a bit hot

lets give it one more try

[mossy tinsel]

Yeah!

I know we could do it!

[hallow garnet]

Room ID [3bcflb3i9c3hhk], Dr. Ariel#0798 invites you to a match

i'll take ntr for panic button now

so we dont eat a dp slot

[mossy tinsel]

We can pause the game too

[hallow garnet]

got eyja set up

so i can save texas

and thorns

[mossy tinsel]

5 slot

[hallow garnet]

watch for bottom right

blaze on top?

[mossy tinsel]

No slots

For me

[hallow garnet]

how

i have 2

prepare for bottom right

left*

the 2 ptichers

put penance there instead

like there maybe idk

bp facing down

[mossy tinsel]

I retreated Myrtle

[hallow garnet]

bad move

ask for dp

i can give u 15

to put her back

[mossy tinsel]

Pause

Who do I remove then?

[hallow garnet]

i put down logos to take care of the pitchers

bp probably

logos can take them

[mossy tinsel]

Okay, that's 1 slot available.

[hallow garnet]

what else do you need?

just myrtle for dp and thats i think

wave 7 should be middle only

so u can regroup there

[mossy tinsel]

Okay, after Myrtle I'll have no slots left.

[hallow garnet]

it's fine

get to 99 dp

and i can ask you for dp then

i still have ntr panic button

if we need it

letsgo

[mossy tinsel]

Logo dead

[hallow garnet]

thats okay

i put him after penance

thats was the problem

so the aggro went to him

xd

myrtle

use myrtle

during downtime too

penance may retreat now

we dont need bot and top anymore i think

did we?

penance should go in front of throns

diagonally

eventually

to block

while mlynar charges up

yea there

[mossy tinsel]

There'?

[hallow garnet]

kill top

we dont need those anymore did we?

or

i dont remember omg

i need a slot for sexas

[mossy tinsel]

Dw, I have Myrtle now

[hallow garnet]

retreat blaze

noo omg

i wanted to put logos there

xd

wait i have no slot

wtf

i thought it was shared

okay we did it

faust at the end

now

wait no faust

right

cause random boss

and we got bob

OMG WE DID IT

YAAAAS

[mossy tinsel]

See? I told you we could definitely it!

[hallow garnet]

do u have any other stage u need finished?

tho i think im gonna go play league now

we did good work

[hallow garnet]

ex6 is annoying a bit

ex5 is really simple

you block i blow up

ex 3 is also very easy

ex 2 is walterfest

[mossy tinsel]

Good work on the mid and heals.

[hallow garnet]

eyjaberry op

[mossy tinsel]

Once I had Curoa skill activated, she was fine and Schwarz took care of the red dude.

[hallow garnet]

ya i saw. well done

[mossy tinsel]

I took a screenshot for a nice memory to look back upon.

[hallow garnet]

letsgo

wait

wdym HEALING HAND

for you

[mossy tinsel]

Maybe because of Shu and Perfumer.

[hallow garnet]

ah yeah maybe

the guard buff is rearlly good tbh

for early game

then walter ruins it

but getting free dp on kill is very nice

[mossy tinsel]

Our inner barriers didn't even break tbh.

[hallow garnet]

[mossy tinsel]

I was checking both top and bottom, not much was going on after the red dudes were taken care of.

Overall, that was fun. It only took us a few attempts to finish all 7 waves in Advanced Bastion Defense.

[wanton stratus]

@mossy tinsel @hallow garnet Good job beating Advanced Bastion Defense, guys!

[mossy tinsel]

Thanks Ben!

[wanton stratus]

You deserve it
