[spark oasis]

Huh, I don't have Jessica, might as well burn certs on her.

Although I think Zuo Le is a few weeks after.

[wanton stratus]

Zuo Le should be in the shop in 4-5 months

It’s usually around 2 years from release

[spark oasis]

They've been further forward than that.

But I'm also forgetting the release order of everyone anyway.

[wanton stratus]

Shu/Zuo Le banner was in august 2024

So

That’s my best guess

[spark oasis]

Probably July.

As they've been pushing things forward to line up to with Global anni times.

[wanton stratus]

Yea

[left plank]

I didn't do that Idle event much.
Pretty boring tbh.

[hallow garnet]

i kinda dont like walter tbh

idk what it is about her

[wanton stratus]

That’s what’s up

[hot rampart]

the idle event was beginner friendly but not brainlet friendly cuz u need to read

[ebon sphinx]

i did like 50+ extra runs to get all the medals

[hot rampart]

that sounds awful

[ebon sphinx]

i already memorized the build order at least and they were all solo runs

[hallow garnet]

is there any time-limited stuff tied to ch16?

i forgot

how this works

besides the event shop ofc for which i can get the currency anywhere else

[civic linden]

don't think so, even the skin you get with these chapters are usuallly available under the same missions after

[wanton stratus]

There are some time-limited missions for extra event currency but nothing else, I believe

[hallow garnet]

[wanton stratus]

You oughta be able to clear the shop anyways if you just play other stages, but personally I’m doing the event for maximum efficiency as the 100 currency boxes you can buy always contain an emergency sanity sampler (20 sanity)

[left plank]

How I can unlock the H-stages on Ch.16?

[wanton stratus]

You need to get clear enough stages on challenge mode

[left plank]

I have 30 points on it

[wanton stratus]

Well, they should have appeared as long as you’ve cleared 16-19

[left plank]

Hmm.

Oh okay. It's there now.

[wanton stratus]

Sweet

[hallow garnet]

ye okay i'll just do fullclear ch16 then

not like i have anything more important to do with my sanity

im just roccing

[wanton stratus]

Personally I farm AP-5 for if we ever get a red cert shop royal token refresh

It’s a long shot

Like you said

[left plank]

Can someone put Shining on support?

@wanton stratus Do you have Shining?

[wanton stratus]

Mine is only E2 lv50 sl7 no with no module

But if you still want her I can her it up

[left plank]

Yes

[wanton stratus]

A’ight, gimme a sec

[left plank]

So Shining is kinda important for H16-2

Because I don't have any DEF buff OPs rn...

[wanton stratus]

@left plank She’s up! I should probably have said “a few minutes” instead of a sec, sorry

[left plank]

It's cool, don't worry.
Thanks Ben.

[wanton stratus]

Good luck

I’m stuck on H16-3 so lemme know when you get there

[hallow garnet]

im stocked enough for that

i also never really used my owned royal tokens

it's always a "but there might be better use for these"

[wanton stratus]

Same

I used two sets of Royal tokens

One on Phantom and one on Siege

Never used one since

[left plank]

That was annoying to deal with.

[sage portal]

there's no use for tokens really

the days of us needing it for clears is over

when bagpipe p3 was meta for fast enough openings

[wanton stratus]

I paid 180 gold certs for Bagpipe P5 instead of using the tokens which I had already long wasted on Siege at that point

[sage portal]

that was the only pot that was ever truly meta

and even then it was really only for high diff CC

[wanton stratus]

Someone tell that to my foolish past self

[left plank]

Thanks for the Shining Ben, it helped a lot.

[wanton stratus]

Oh, you beat the stage?

Grand

[left plank]

I only have H16-3 and H16-4 left.

[wanton stratus]

I’m leaving Shining up, you might need her later depending on your strat

[tidal hawk]

Okay I know Odda is about the same age as Manfred but come on, Humus being younger than him?

It seems that the artist accidentally switched their concept arts (considering both were drawn by the same artist)

My favourite event

I genuinely really enjoy this especially with how they did veteran+new player queue last time

[ebon sphinx]

It's an opportunity to play with less common units too

Or show off

[sage portal]

Yup

My wish is that they make it easier to queue with the "switch teams with your partner" setting

Hg finding new and exciting ways to make this guy look homeless

X · Mar 30, 2026, 7:39 AM

[left plank]

I'm not gonna get all the medals in Chapter16 event, it's too much of a headache and I'm missing Hoshi Alt.

[wanton stratus]

What do need Hoshiguma alter for?

You can borrow mine if you want

[left plank]

It's not just that, I'm also missing other Alts that can help.

It's fine, I'm too tired for this insane shit anyways.

[wanton stratus]

Real

[left plank]

I dislike this event...

Is this HG's way of punishing us for using Wis'dal, and other op OPs? It's their fault for making them.

[wanton stratus]

@left plank

It do be like that

[left plank]

It's whatever, people will still shit on their events and laugh at HG's face.

[tidal hawk]

Uh...

Has arknights been this fanservicey before?

[hot rampart]

is that actual ingame scene?

kinda hard to believe and bilibili is full of AI

[ebon sphinx]

....uh it is not

[hot rampart]

it is not AI or it is not real

[ebon sphinx]

its not an in game thing

so it must be fanmade

[wanton stratus]

Both ai and not real

The cracks in the bamboo roller randomly disappear

[wanton stratus]

Wait

NOOOOOOOO

I’m being punished for my Mantra banner pulls so soon

If I hadn’t gotten Narantuya from the ch16 banner this would’ve been a 3/4 chance to get a new op for me, but now it’s only 1/2

[sage portal]

I'm only missing hool, ez skip

[quaint arch]

April 1st is coming

I wonder what Hippo has to offer this time....

[left plank]

I kinda regret not getting Hoshi Alt, but I really wanted Phax Alt just to have frozen blue box.

[wanton stratus]

Omg

Finally

After literal DAYS of attempts I finally beat H16-4

[fluid verge]

It's that bad?

[left plank]

Yeah...
It's pretty bad.

[fluid verge]

That's the only stage I haveeft

[wanton stratus]

If one is a smoothbrain like myself then yeah

Oh yeah btw

I just beat the last IS#5 deep exploration and have thereby completed all of IS#5!

I’m finally caught up

Thank you, @sage portal, for the Tin Man support

[sage portal]

meowdy

[wanton stratus]

Meowdy

[sage portal]

tin man has an awesome kit though

even without the is bonuses

[left plank]

Ben, do H16-4 for me. /S

[wanton stratus]

I can’t be trusted with other’s AK login info

[left plank]

Me too.
Plus, it'll be a birch to login again.

[wanton stratus]

You can just use a guide

[left plank]

I can

Looks at a video
Doesn't have 2 or more OPs

[wanton stratus]

I have a high enough mald tolerance to keep attempting the stage for days, but that’s not for everyone

[wanton stratus]

Damn

[left plank]

It's my fault for saving for Phax Alt.

I didn't want another Jess Alt incident, so I'm skipping a lot of limited OPs.

Or I just don't have some of the old OPs still.

[wanton stratus]

https://youtu.be/-hLeo4lNQBk

[wanton stratus]

You don’t need Hoshi Alter, trust

I didn’t use her

[left plank]

At least I have OG Hoshi, she tanked in H16-3 really well.

[wanton stratus]

I’ve already forgotten what the H16-3 stage looks like

[left plank]

Finally! I'm free!

Screw chapter 16!

[quaint arch]

You guys clear Inferno Stages?

[fluid verge]

u dont?

[quaint arch]

I don't.

[wanton stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-emoji-rage-gif-17640294432761192580

[wanton stratus]

Do it, it’s fun

[fluid verge]

WHY IS PHASE TWO LIKE THIS

WHO HURT U HYPERGLYPH

[wanton stratus]

It’s like Qui’lon

😄

[left plank]

All the Arknights YouTubers saying their game is easy and boring now that they have Wis'dal, Logos, and other broken OPs.

[tidal hawk]

Tragoedia?

[left plank]

Yeah.

It's all HG's fault, we're the victims here.

[fluid verge]

CAN I NOT JUST TANK THIS FUCKING BEAR

[left plank]

You need a maxed out Hoshi with multiple healers on her just to survive.

[quaint arch]

This is why I don't do it.

[wanton stratus]

A max level Nian with an E260SL7 Shining did the trick for me

[left plank]

Of course, Shining really shines in chapter 16.

[wanton stratus]

That extra 60 DEF was needed

[left plank]

HG be like, "Let's see how you like getting your units instantly defeated!"

[wanton stratus]

I think this might be the most egregious example yet of ‘the new operator can ignore/circumvent event mechanics’ with Mantra

She was crucial to several of my strategies for clearing out the ‘invisiballs’

[fluid verge]

Holy fuck that was hard

[wanton stratus]

Damn, you beat H16-4 that fast?

[fluid verge]

40 minutes is fast?

[wanton stratus]

Compared to me…

[left plank]

At least you got it completed.

[fluid verge]

I used haruka and eyja2 for healing with shu sitting behind hoshi

They stalled the bear while I had miners slip around top

Then I just blew all my DPS deployment on that yugo lady

The biggest puzzle in that was handling that bear

And also having a comp to beat map 1

Map 1 was also nutty trying to protect 3 lanes and these mobs are actually threatening

[left plank]

Same.

[fluid verge]

Side note, how do I get radian to e2?

I have been putting off IS

[left plank]

Do IS6?

[fluid verge]

Do i just clear ed1 to get e2?

[quaint arch]

No

You grind

[fluid verge]

[quaint arch]

By keep playing said Integrated Strategies

[fluid verge]

Well at least I have a 2 week break

[wanton stratus]

@fluid verge Looks like we’re starting IS#6 together oomfie

Oh wait

You’ve already played it

How come your Raidian isn’t leveled up then

[left plank]

Like Dr. Yuwen said, you gotta grind IS 6 to increase the LV.

[wanton stratus]

Oh yeah, right

Imma get started

[fluid verge]

idk man

i dont enjoy IS as much

[sage portal]

is6 is my favourite is

[wanton stratus]

I’ve pretty much decided to get Narantuya’s skin, but what do y’all think of Greyy alter’s skin? I’m deadass considering getting it, despite it changing him from Greyy the Lightningbearer to Greyy the Green Goo||ner||

[sage portal]

I only get skins for people I use

I don't use greyy often enough

I never built him until before is6 came out

[wanton stratus]

I built him up like 2-3 weeks ago

He’s the only 5* for which I have a lv3 module

[sage portal]

I tried him a few times and it seemed ok but I think is5 or 4 was his real time to shine or something

[wanton stratus]

Yeah, defo

The finger hand relic is good

[sage portal]

I used to buy skins for people I didn't use

this is how I became too poor to buy skins and had to enact new laws to follow

[wanton stratus]

Mm, I did too

I stopped before I went broke tho

[wanton stratus]

[fluid verge]

[tired gulch]

Heh. I got the idea off of... was it Sciel or MineMoon?

In any case, the bear didn't kill it, but it brought it to half, which is enough

Once the bitch is dead, the bear is easy. The permastun strat is insane

[civic linden]

oh fuck free 6* recruit?!

[wanton stratus]

Looks like it

[civic linden]

oh no wait it's 5*

[wanton stratus]

It’s both

This selection isn’t very impressive, however

[civic linden]

i..only got senio op tho

[wanton stratus]

The guaranteed 6* recruit comes later

[civic linden]

oooh

[wanton stratus]

Specifically it says “after update”

Unsure exactly how long that is

[civic linden]

eeehh...i guess nightingale or shwarz would be ideal for me....?

[wanton stratus]

Schwarz, huh?

Cool

[civic linden]

just cause i don't have her

[wanton stratus]

For me it’s SA, Nightingale and Archetto that are the good hits

I see

[civic linden]

i also don't have blaze, passenger, skadi and siege but they sound boring as hell

shwarz has like universal sniper buff at least

[wanton stratus]

Yeah

Passenger is getting an RA module

[left plank]

I disagree, Weedy is there, and that automatically makes the selection impressive.

[fluid verge]

of those units shown, i think the only ones that i still use are nightingale, saria, ceobe, hoshiguma

[sage portal]

ben let me know when you're free to co-op

[wanton stratus]

Oh shit, my bad king

[wanton stratus]

I fear my tablet might crash in the middle of a stage (it hasn’t happened yet in this iteration but it happened A LOT during the last icebreaker games) but if you really want to…

Also, it’s embarrassing to expose what a I am

[sage portal]

I used to mostly play off emulator and it would crash only in icebreaker/IS

so now I mostly play off phone where it doesn't

[wanton stratus]

Damn, emulator was less stable?

[sage portal]

it was the google games beta emu so not sure how often they optimized for that specific platform

[wanton stratus]

We need that official PC client, by god

[left plank]

I wanna play Icebreaker with you too Ben!

[wanton stratus]

[versed compass]

missing 1 here so surely new op

[wanton stratus]

I hit like a 1/7 when I got Aak from recruit the first time, and this is like a fourth of that so it shouldn’t be that bad

[versed compass]

i got the reed pot from senior that i aimed at

surely i get the op i want from top

Maria got bullied, kidnapped, outshined by Nearl, and even almost killed.
Girl has it rough!

The parents are still alive!

[left plank]

Reading Maria's OP records was so good!
An alternative timeline where Knight Maria fights against Fallen Nearl sounds badass and heart-breaking!

This is probably my 5th OP records I read so far.
First was Weedy, Hibiscus Alt, Jessica Alt, Skyfire, and now Blemishine.

[wanton stratus]

I don’t think I’ve read a single one yet

Maria is Margaret' aunt right?

It's just that Margaret and Maria are younger than Zofia.

She only wanted to be a knight because Margaret was exiled before, but now she doesn't have to take up the burden anymore since her older sister came back.

Not sure what you mean by canonical OP "minor" though

S2 mastered!

Is S3 worth mastering?

[wanton stratus]

I personally did M6 (S2 and S3) back in the day but you probably shouldn’t. S3 is her highest DPS and HPS skill, but she’s not the best at either of those by far

S2 is her signature skill, no doubt

[fluid verge]

s2 is what i used the most back in the day

[wanton stratus]

Oh yeah, she can’t heal herself with S3 if you didn’t know

[fluid verge]

thats why i didnt use it

[wanton stratus]

Ye

I’ve used Blemi one time in the last 3 years

And I think I ended up switching her out

[left plank]

Imma use her for Defenderknights.

[wanton stratus]

Then you already have better healers in Shu and Saria

[left plank]

Yeah, but they don't do a lot of DMG.

And I missed out on Hoshi Alt

[wanton stratus]

Ya did

That’s a shame

I recruit her on literally every IS#6 run

[left plank]

Also, Saria isn't on the same lvl with Blemishine when it comes to how you use them.

[wanton stratus]

So which defenders are you using for damage?

[left plank]

There's Jessica Alt.

Jessica Alt can hit aerial enemies as well.

[wanton stratus]

[ebon sphinx]

Juggernauts cannot be healed so they of course have good damage and tankiness

[wanton stratus]

[left plank]

I used her a few times, she's fun.

[wanton stratus]

[left plank]

Hmm, should I just stick with S2 for Maria then?

[wanton stratus]

For now that’s probably fine

You can always use S3 at sl7

Or mastery later

[left plank]

Maybe I can use S3 as a DPS laneholder, and have Shu/any healer to keep her alive.

That Sleep skill is also pretty funny.

The only problem I have is DP cost.
Most of them are above 20DP.

The rest of my DEF OPs I haven't gotten around to invest.

[wanton stratus]

Such is the life of a defenderknights player

[left plank]

Looking at Maria's modules, Knight Primus looks like it's specially made for S2.

[left plank]

@wanton stratus What's a good module for Maria?

[wanton stratus]

Mod Y has the better trait effect, but completely useless lv2/3 talent upgrade unless you’re building around Kazimierz synergy (not that it’s fantastic even then). Meanwhile Mod X has a trait effect that only works with S1 and S3, while the talent upgrade caters towards a helidrop/sleep/stall play style, in which case one would obviously use S2

I hate the mods

If they switched trait effects, mod X would pretty much always be better imo

But as it stands neither is very impressive

The Mod X talent upgrade does increase her damage against sleeping enemies but the main effect is the sleep on deploy, intended to make sure she survives long enough to get off at least one S2 use

So if you’re gonna use her for landholding and general usage I would go with Mod Y and leave it at lv1, if you’re gonna sleep stall go for Mod X lv2+

[left plank]

S1 and S3?

@wanton stratus What are good defenders that target aerial enemies?

are u asking for defenders that can hit air?

pretty sure hoshi 2 can do it with s3

[left plank]

Because I'm doing Defenderknights in the Maria Nearl event.

your only options to my knowledge

are the seintinel class which includes jessica2, blitz, and liskarm, underflow, and sankta miksaparato

you can use the original anti air

hoshi s2

but from some of the videos i saw of him they use shalem, underflow, jessica and asbestos seen to be used frequently to deal with flying enemies

[versed compass]

(actual newbie in line exachnge)

i swear he is confused by the ops i gave

[left plank]

Time to start IS 2!

[quaint arch]

And then we have this (from r/0sanitymemes)

Bruh

[left plank]

Wow, IS 2 is more annoying than IS3.

[wanton stratus]

Is it, though?

[left plank]

Yeah

[wanton stratus]

Tell me more

[left plank]

Deepcolor is a good 4 star OP.

[wanton stratus]

No light mechanic i.e not being punished for losing health and no mutations is a pretty good deal imo

[left plank]

But they constantly flood a ton of enemies even in the early stages.

[wanton stratus]

Do they?

I forgot

[left plank]

Yeah

[wanton stratus]

Hmm

Might have to revisit Is#2

To check

Oh yeah, the 2nd part of Icebreaker event is up.

https://x.com/i/status/2042471265219592296 Masses Travel was... Uh leaked in a similar way

Arknights 7th anniversary 6 star operators got leaked via the Ambience Synesthesia standees

There was also another leak last week involving someone allegedly taking photos of 3D animation that shows upcoming operators

[hot rampart]

dude i remembered the leak

it was like

exu2 and lemuen

then theres a random ass character that looks so out of place

and its actually someone from fire emblem

[wanton stratus]

I don’t rember that

Cool story tho

[left plank]

I watched a video on Shalem, I don't like his skills.

[wanton stratus]

Huh

Why

[left plank]

S2 is random target, and decreases his HP during skill duration.

[wanton stratus]

Yeah, it’s the drawback for it being so strong

[left plank]

I'll just borrow a Hoshi Alt for MN-EX-7.

[wanton stratus]

Once he gets his module, Shalem will have almost 100% uptime on his RES reduction talent

https://youtu.be/jNtzuGMNpN4

[versed compass]

Is2 have less power for the player

Thats what make it hard to deal with

[left plank]

They also flood the map with tons of enemies.

[versed compass]

Light mechanic is only annoying 25% of the runs

If you dont get metastatic its whatever

Is2 also not balanced around diffeculty system for any high D nerd

Big sadge 15 might be the hardest is boss currently

Tho s3 monster kinda cheese him

[wanton stratus]

I just beat ED4 on D10 in IS#6 so it’s a pretty good time to revisit IS#2 for me

[left plank]

I'm just not sure if farming IS2 is worth the trouble.

[versed compass]

I need to get to that

[left plank]

I can do the IS 3 missions at least.

[versed compass]

I had a run mid way since last week

Too busy giving free crown slayer in coop

[wanton stratus]

Kek

I actually did ED 4 on accident

I was gonna do ED3 to get Raidian’s first mod to lv3

[left plank]

Ben, let's do more Icebreaker later.

[wanton stratus]

But I had a brain fart and got the ED4 relic

[wanton stratus]

Sure thang

[left plank]

I'll ping you once I'm done with work.

[versed compass]

Funny enough

When my ally deploy crown slayer we win with 1 min or more left on timer

When they dont we barely win or out right lose

Clearly she is the reason

[wanton stratus]

I’ve got a doctor’s appointment running on 3 hours of sleep, so I might be knocked out later lmao

[versed compass]

Ben you joining rhodes island no way

[wanton stratus]

Omw to fail my RI entrance exam

[versed compass]

Our 6th 2 star

[wanton stratus]

Honestly, that’s them giving me an overestimation

I’m Eureka level fr

[versed compass]

1 stars are higher rarity then 4 stars

[wanton stratus]

Tru

Guess reserve operator is more my speed

3* Reserve operator - Specialist (Unemployed)

[left plank]

3hrs? Couldn't sleep?

[left plank]

@wanton stratus You up?

[left plank]

IS2 is such a drag to do.

That RES shred is pretty nice though.

All it does is: "Do you have OPs with CC? If not, then piss off and try again!"

[left plank]

Holy moly, now we're constantly taking DMG on this floor.

Goodness this IS sucks so much to go through, I'm starting to actually miss IS3 despite its annoying gimmick.

[wanton stratus]

I was, in fact, not up

Sorry about that

Not only did I get around one and a half hours of sleep initially, but then when I went home and slept more I woke up to discover I had been sunburnt to the point where I experienced a mild fever delirium

I did sleep some more and feel slightly better, but still shit

[left plank]

My first completed IS2 run, that was a struggle...

[wanton stratus]

Good job!

[left plank]

Wanna play Icebreaker?

[wanton stratus]

Yeah, I’m down

[left plank]

Nice, I wanna take a break from IS2.

[wanton stratus]

Damn, it’s that bad huh

[left plank]

You have no idea how much I struggled just to get 1 completed run.

[wanton stratus]

I invited you

Which stages have you not completed?

[left plank]

All the new ones.

[wanton stratus]

I haven’t unlocked Bastion defense yet

Rip

[left plank]

There are new ones in the other 2 events.

[wanton stratus]

Oh

Is it 9 through 14 which are new?

[left plank]

I believe so.

[wanton stratus]

Oops

[left plank]

There's so much shit on the screen.

[wanton stratus]

Indeed

[left plank]

We did it!

[wanton stratus]

Mmmm

Yahoo

[left plank]

I didn't wanna speed it up.

[wanton stratus]

Understandable

Aaahh

I crashed

[left plank]

Dang, can you get back in?

[wanton stratus]

Not now, I’d just crash again

Maybe in 10-15 minutes

[left plank]

"Local Kazimierz Knight solos a terrorist."

[civic linden]

IS2 is really weird, it has some really bullshit stages, but at the same time a single hard carry unit is sometimes enough to complete a whole run...

[ebon sphinx]

IS2 is a solved one for me

[wanton stratus]

How did you solve it, Columbo?

[ebon sphinx]

I got max ascension and almost all endings on every start

When it first came out

[quaint arch]

But expansion 2 though

[ebon sphinx]

There was no new content...

[left plank]

They blew up my team, but I killed enough to win regardless!

[quaint arch]

Oh, you're using Leader Squad start at the moment?

[left plank]

Yes.

It's helpful for me.

[wanton stratus]

Damn son

Was it in expansion 2 that D18 was added?

[quaint arch]

There is no D18 for IS#2

[wanton stratus]

…

[left plank]

Ben, play with me!

[wanton stratus]

I’m actually gonna go to bed

[left plank]

Okay, goodnight.

[wanton stratus]

I really am coming down with something

[left plank]

[wanton stratus]

Sob

We can play tomorrow

[left plank]

Drink mlik

And have a hot shower.

[quaint arch]

Taking shower not at evening?

[wanton stratus]

I think milk may have been a culprit in rendering me in my current condition

[wanton stratus]

How do you know it’s evening

[left plank]

Morning showers can be nice.

[quaint arch]

For me evening is like 4pm to 6:30pm

[wanton stratus]

Huh

[quaint arch]

You... Going to bed you said?

[wanton stratus]

Evening is 6-11 pm imo

[wanton stratus]

[quaint arch]

Also maybe @wanton stratus

[quaint arch]

If you've got comfy with IS#2 shenaningans, you should try another Squad sometimes

[wanton stratus]

Ty, gn m8

Yay, I finally have enough to have Pot 5 on Shalem!
Screw IS2!

That stupid drone in MN-EX-7 is too tanky with Hoshi Alt!
