help

[oak shale]

Oh ok I have him too. Might be fun to try out... One day

[sweet matrix]

Did you buy them in tier 2 green cert shop?

[burnt cedar]

I got hellagur from the recruitment

I mean, eh, new is new. I’ll build him when I’m less destitute

[stuck wigeon]

how does exu2 s2 interact with -80 aspd cc risks?

[frail thunder]

Sorry drank him

[deft aspen]

No I didn't. I thought I was supposed to buy only pull tickets, I have really low amount anyway

[stuck wigeon]

is aspd % based? if you have -100 aspd can you still attack?

[turbid ocean]

It is % based
20 is the floor

[stuck wigeon]

oh

[turbid ocean]

So 1/5 speed

Max is 600

Base is 100 ofc

[stuck wigeon]

ah thank god for the minimum 4 hour per day policy

[sweet matrix]

Every month I buy entire tier 1 and then 2 pulls from tier 2, the rest I spend on mats if I need them or save
Did you do token exchange?

[small stream]

Should M9 Pepe?

[pastel canyon]

uhhh what does tequila even do, he just stands there and doesn't attack without the skill

[turbid ocean]

Uhm no…

[stark gulch]

her s1 is pretty much useless so not really

[turbid ocean]

See liberator trait

[stuck wigeon]

can exu2 still steal all 70 aspd if you're at 30 or does she only steal 10?

[turbid ocean]

He’s a heavy stat stick

[pastel canyon]

so he only does damage with his skill, but when it's charging the damage gets higher?

[proven abyss]

anyone can help with what i can improve from this team?

[deft aspen]

I did token exchange already. That's all I've got. I have not pulled much yet. I did like 90 pulls in total in my account.

[stuck wigeon]

if i remember right liberators stack max buff at 40 seconds of inactivity

[sweet matrix]

Thats okay, with you should max out recruitment 3 and 4 stars in 2 month at max, then youll be getting a decent amount of green certificates

[small stream]

Whatever helps to avoid elemental medics . . . THX for the info.

[stuck wigeon]

dont worry, you will slowly get tokens from doing daily recruitments and then some crazy banner will drop and you will suddenly become rich

[median fable]

you meant therapist, right?

[small stream]

Yup.

[sweet matrix]

You might want to use some fast redeploy for emergencies to block

[stuck wigeon]

is plume necessary?

[median fable]

these doesn't need to be featured always, bring them when you need one

[median fable]

read pins for beginner squad comp
tldr: remove plume, hibiscus, amiya, jessica

[proven abyss]

i am reading it but im kinda losing braincells right now

[deft aspen]

Thanks a lot guys. I'm kinda confused as to what is the better approach.

When no event is going on, where should I spend sanity? Trying to complete main story and challenge modes, side stories or farm mats to build characters?

If the first approach is better then I should be waiting for an event to come that drops the necessary mats?

[median fable]

you could do:
noir corne->plume
ansel->hibiscus
click/steward->amiya
kroos alter->jessica

[stuck wigeon]

honestly it comes with practice and experience

kroos alter

[median fable]

also remember to do dossoles holiday for Tequila (use e2 ticket on him) and invitation to wine for kroos alter

[stuck wigeon]

there are plenty of welfare operators hidden in old events and story

[median fable]

yeah, and 90% of them are trash

[stuck wigeon]

not all of them are good

[turbid ocean]

See pins for newbie squad building

[median fable]

or not worth to raise at all. Kroos2, tequila and ceylone (e0 base skill) are the only worth to get for a newbie

[turbid ocean]

Jessica is ass

[median fable]

already told him, he's losing braincells

[stuck wigeon]

me putting up gladiia support cuz i know damn well someone raised ulpi but cant be arsed to raise gladi

[proven abyss]

okk i try getting tequila and kroos alter first

[mild torrent]

anyone know when tragodia drops?

[severe crypt]

Legally not for sure

[stuck wigeon]

soon

[mild torrent]

And not legally?

[stuck wigeon]

possibly next or after next banner

definitely before hoshi

[severe crypt]

Basically just stay tuned to #game-news

[mild torrent]

alright

[severe crypt]

Or check wiki

[lilac arch]

is there a way to make the load bearers op be selected automatically

[deft aspen]

Should I buy any of these? I bought some chips in early game but now have enough of each.

[sweet matrix]

Arknights wiki has a countdown 🤫

[stuck wigeon]

the who bearer?

[severe crypt]

Not really no, you need to manually input every time

[winter dawn]

Guys should I build vulpis or gladia? Which ones better ?

[lilac arch]

[glass mural]

Honestly, you don't want automatic anyways.

[lilac arch]

why wouldnt i

[stuck wigeon]

do you have/use ulpianus?

[glass mural]

Intentionally rushing your Life Point value down to 1 allows you to force King collectibles from Wish nodes.

[severe crypt]

Cuz you may need to game kings relic/lamp system

[winter dawn]

No i don't have it

[bitter anvil]

Btw u know about astegnne2? She ok or got crownslayer treatment

[pastel canyon]

how do i use these

[lilac arch]

who says i dont do that even after selecting them

[stuck wigeon]

then you wont get much value out of gladiia on her own, she kinda wants to be in her abyssal polycule

[winter dawn]

GUYS

[deft aspen]

Doesn't show for me. It is just showing cn dates. Can you please DM the link

[delicate ibex]

I mean "crownslayer" treatment is a bit much. Shes not that bad.

But shes not great either. Shes okay at best for a wellfafe.

That said post module crownslayer is probably more useful imo

[severe crypt]

Rather you take the full convo to the dms

[bitter anvil]

omg shafted 💔

Thanks for telling me

[pastel canyon]

is it for this? how do i upgrade hr i don't know what that means 😭

[stuck wigeon]

wow a module actually made a bad op good?

[delicate ibex]

I wouldnt say shafted. Shes not terrible or anything.

[daring vigil]

press on expedite

[severe crypt]

Those red things are for instant recruitment, ie, skipping the 9 hour wait time

[lilac arch]

used to expedite

[pastel canyon]

onhhh

[stuck wigeon]

hr office is in your base

[pastel canyon]

oh ok i figured

[stuck wigeon]

altho people suggest not to upgrade it to run 252

[median fable]

post module CS is at most niche, nowhere near as good. If someone is playing "welfare only" it's another matter

[spice solar]

how do you kill those dublinn flamechaser elite soldiers

[severe crypt]

Before or after ghost mode

[spice solar]

ghost mode

[delicate ibex]

I mean is Astgene alter particulary strong either?

Post module crownslayer is niche. But does Astgene alter even have a niche?

[median fable]

don't upgrade office. Follow /base in #bot-spam or the guide in the #r-i-i-c pins

[severe crypt]

It’s invis so you need to block and 10 hits to kill, Ines can help

[median fable]

kinda whatever, they gave her the "chain caster" skill basically

[delicate ibex]

Yeah I know. Thats what Im getting at.

[median fable]

her fragile is too low to matter for niche, the dmg is kinda meh

don't know if welfare only will use her though

@abstract mauve is astgenne2 in a welfare only context at least usable?

[delicate ibex]

Im running wellfare only. But Im on global. I will probably build her.

Will have to see myself. But its not looking great tbh even within wellfare only

[humble arrow]

Is there a site where I can see enemy raid paths for RA?

[tidal pumice]

Are the integrated strategy like "sarkaz furnace" have an end date?

[median fable]

at most I can see some s2 usage for the pull thing

[humble arrow]

No

[severe crypt]

All is from is2 are permanent

[delicate ibex]

There probably exists some niche clear she makes possible for wellfare only.

But dont see her being widespread or general use

[stuck wigeon]

i cant tell if my vector medal is trimmed

[delicate ibex]

Btw Sussuro has higher HPS than any of the 5 star medics right?

[severe crypt]

Did you do vec12 yet?

[median fable]

https://map.ark-nights.com/map/

[stuck wigeon]

i did

[turbid ocean]

Single target on skill

[severe crypt]

It’s trimmed ur good

[delicate ibex]

Yeah st heal hps

[median fable]

yeah but it's kinda iffy overall

[delicate ibex]

How does purestream compare?

[median fable]

way worse on skill

[turbid ocean]

Single target atleast

[humble arrow]

Alr thanks

[stuck wigeon]

what's the slip-n-slide furniture then? will it be unlocked tomorrow?

[delicate ibex]

Does anyone have the numbers?

[ember pine]

Higher than eyja s3🥹 lower than suss but you can use it more than twice

[median fable]

yeah, I'm taking this for granted

[severe crypt]

Yeah it’s part of the rest of the reward pass

[median fable]

around 1.2k hps for sussurro and like 300 for Perfumer?

[pastel canyon]

is there like an overall unit tier list? 😭

[stuck wigeon]

oh... i hope i dont have to grind this thing for rewards

[median fable]

on top of my head, I don't remember exactly

[quick jolt]

not one that is relevant or useful

[severe crypt]

Just complete all the lvls one time and you should easily complete the pass, no need to redo levels

[stuck wigeon]

dont trust the tierlists

[turbid ocean]

Oh I mixed up Purestream S1 / S2
S2 is still ST

[stuck wigeon]

i find it funny how ulpianus is practically immune to corrosion

[proven kelp]

I have this

[median fable]

man, I read perfumer instead of purestream 🥹

[frank talon]

What

[severe crypt]

Yeah he is, can’t take away def from 0 def

[stuck wigeon]

he's not actually immune but neither effect really hurts him, besides maybe aspd decrease

[turbid ocean]

Napkin math is getting me that Mod3 purestream is 950 HP/s

[deft aspen]

Are any of the collab girls coming with sakiko good?

[humble nova]

I think ive asked this before but, mod 3 exualter or mod 2-3 lemuen first?

[turbid ocean]

mod1 exu2 -> mod2 lemu -> mod3 exu2

[humble nova]

That is a much finer answer I can get ty

[turbid ocean]

Lemu mod3 is slivers

[ruby prism]

how do i get amyia medic? and is that her best form?

[stuck wigeon]

dam, i might have wasted resources upgrading it to 3

[turbid ocean]

E2 + clear end of chapter 14, 14-21 was it?

[delicate ibex]

Amiya medic is mostly her best form.

And just progress through story

[polar hollow]

do you think trag will somehow be announced before these expire? or like wat should I dump them on?

[ruby prism]

ok

[turbid ocean]

Amiya in all forms is kind of mid general gameplay wise
But very high value in high end IS

[ruby prism]

yhea i am raising her for IS, i am trying her out in the IS-5 mission

[stuck wigeon]

holy originium

[deft aspen]

This mentions monster s3, her s2 heals more than s3, right?

[turbid ocean]

You should know this, if its not in #game-news, we don't know

Speculation is against channel rule 5

If they expire next week why not just hold on to them

[polar hollow]

well what should I use them on assuming they aren't announced in time?

[hallow raft]

Safest bet would be to wait til 1 day before your sanity stuff expires

[humble nova]

Is mod2 tragodia fine or is mod3 recommended. Im aware some of u think it may be redundant but a lot of said it increases his dmg and/or value more so.

[turbid ocean]

the usual chips redcerts skillbooks

[polar hollow]

ya that's what I'm planning on doing

[turbid ocean]

r*cks

[stuck wigeon]

regardless of when it actually drops, you should consider it too long to save sanity pots and too soon to save up pulls

[polar hollow]

wat's considered a good amount of rocks to sit on anyway? >1000?

[hallow raft]

Never enough. I thought I was rich but turns out I now need a lot of em again.

[hallow raft]

Prolly consider this first, else just r*cks

[deft aspen]

Are rocks very commonly needed? I see everyone recommending it

[turbid ocean]

Rocks is last case scenario and uh the point is that rock demand is relatively high

[polar hollow]

[deft aspen]

When no event is going on, where should I spend sanity? Trying to complete main story and challenge modes, side stories or farm mats to build characters?

If the first approach is better then I should be waiting for an event to come that drops the necessary mats?

[turbid ocean]

Are you using the krooster.com planner?

Start putting in operators you think you will have in the next 6 months

Then insert events for the next 6 months

And let it compute what mats you will be short on

[tulip oasis]

is there a resource where i can select a material and it shows all characters that can use it and on what (promotion, skill, module)?

[turbid ocean]

Only after all that is done, farm red certs

[hallow raft]

Let's put this into perspective. I had 4 Orirock Concentration, 400 Clusters, 1400 Orirock cubes, I now sit at 19, 186, 254 after using a operator planner

[deft aspen]

Holy I've like 7 of them

[humble nova]

Okay i dont understand the breakpoints thingy. And it seems its mainly around ritualist, why?

[turbid ocean]

Because for actual damage to occur, elemental burst needs to go off

Elemental burst is only proced by those doing the elemental damage

If you hit breakpoints, they do their burst 1 attack faster

[shadow bay]

wierd question

geexu s1 seen usage like on high end contents???

[turbid ocean]

Which can shred 2 seconds on each cycle and improve overall DPS

[turbid ocean]

No

High end shes literally almost always S3 lol

[shadow bay]

what a shame... im finding excuses to m9 her... tnx

[turbid ocean]

I am for S1 usage
i have her M9

[median fable]

ritualist is probably the only class where each point of atk actually matter
to proc elem burst you need to reach 2k injury on boss (or 1k on everyone else), so even a small difference of stat is the difference between triggering the burst or not

[rain sinew]

Is Exu Alter s1 worth mastery? For afk?

[deft aspen]

How do I add events?

[spice solar]

what makes her good in is

[turbid ocean]

the same thing that makes her good in general

[turbid ocean]

Uh in the depot tab there is a summary button

[hallow raft]

Not worth it, your S2 may last longer than the times you'd proc S1 Speaking as someone who's M9'd her.

[median fable]

like, Tragodia with mod1 isn't able to proc elem burst with his cat in "once cycle" on bosses, but with mod2 he can because he got like +7 atk compared to mod1

[turbid ocean]

It might be a little odd to navigate on mobile

[spice solar]

mid gameplay but high value in is?

[humble nova]

@turbid ocean iirc, you said ONE of breakpoints for tragodia is lvl.88. I assume these breakpoints mainly occur through leveling?
Excluding the priority breakpoints of modules and mastery ofc.
If thats so is it safe to say that its okay to just lvl up a ritualist near the max lvl cap to max?

[turbid ocean]

what does that mean

[humble nova]

Ohh I see thats why

[rain sinew]

Okay, just M6 then (s2 & s3)

[spice solar]

Amiya in all forms is kind of mid general gameplay wise
But very high value in high end IS

what does this mean

[lethal chasm]

I use logos S1 right?

[humble nova]

S3

[spice solar]

s1 afk s3 if you want damage

[lethal chasm]

Ah okay I'm using it for Anni 9 that's why

[turbid ocean]

It depends on module level
literal slivers of attack can make that difference with elemental damage operators
For Trag, it affects whether the cat can 1 cycle proc NI on a boss
mod2 + lvl 88
OR
mod3 + lvl 82

[turbid ocean]

Well Exu2 isn't mid in general gameplay at all

Its just in high end her util is valued too, S3 is seen more often

[stark gulch]

theyre asking about amiya

[turbid ocean]

They replied to my message on Exu though earlier

Wait

They didn't

[humble nova]

Ty, u gave me a good excuse to lvl.90 my tragodia and just minmax him completely

[shadow bay]

[tulip oasis]

as a beginner, should i prefarm chips for Tragodia E2 if i can guarantee him or can i get by with E1?

[spice solar]

well, s1 also has a niche use of killing low hp swarm units like in paddy field 9-7
a buncha mosquitos but they get autodie in logos range

[turbid ocean]

Amiya's 3 forms gives her access to 3 vouchers and she benefits from 3 class squads -hope

her true damage is used as solves for specific stages

[lethal chasm]

So for this case use S1

[spice solar]

oh

[shadow bay]

spike killing 🥹

[turbid ocean]

And in IS5 particularly good for taking spines + 5* are slightly lower hope

I was talking about IS in general but yeah particularly amazing for IS5

[shadow bay]

although i was told sometimes u want castermiya instead for is5?

[turbid ocean]

Those sometimes include specific stages, during catastrophes one early floors, and ED2

[shadow bay]

ohhh catastrophe... understandable

[turbid ocean]

Amiya is used to chunk a lot of ED2, very very often

[deft aspen]

What are the chinese events?

[turbid ocean]

Castermiya S3 can one cycle a catastrophes spine like perfectly

Its insanely tight lol

[ember pine]

Log in event

Also… google lens

[shadow bay]

need masteries?

[candid forge]

How to get blue certs?

[turbid ocean]

mod3 and lvl 80 i think

[shadow bay]

u pull kernel

which u dont wanna do

[turbid ocean]

Not 100% sure

[candid forge]

Dang, that's the only method?

[spice solar]

anni 9 is long spring waves i think
works since the elite? enemies spawn in swarm units that might get past your defenders

[rough yarrow]

Which story lines have the most value?

[shadow bay]

yep

it is a cert version for kernel banners after all

it doesn't have merit tbh compare to gold cert

[rough yarrow]

I have Galdiia already btw

[deft aspen]

Which ones to tick for the next few events? I'm doing the planner thingy

[shadow bay]

i think i can sink some sources for this

[candid forge]

Alright, thanks a lot!

[ember pine]

Well you can keep gladiia on the bench.
You want to do Dossoles holiday and invitation to wine for the operators, then heart of surging flame since it costs 0 sanity

[candid forge]

Do we have new 6* Pullers and Pushers? Or is it still just Gladia and Weedy?

[proven abyss]

do i need the letter?

[turbid ocean]

Most events can stay, just would remove CCB4 Battleplan Arclight
However its named, and maybe remove SSS if you are lazy to not do it
Include events up to the operators you are planning for of course just so you know what you will need during that event to plan for it

[ember pine]

It’s nice to have

[spice solar]

gladiia mid if you dont have ulpi
but dossoles holiday i think for tequila because liberator guard (nuker)

[ember pine]

[rough yarrow]

Yeah I have him too

[turbid ocean]

gladiia is mid if you have ulpi
else shes poor investment

[rough yarrow]

Should I do the wine one then?

[ember pine]

Yes

[shadow bay]

sure

[turbid ocean]

Maybe I need to seperate my welfare guide

And make it more clear

[ember pine]

Have you checked the newbie voucher guide in pins?

[shadow bay]

its yt fault romaticizing ulpipi glad way too much too look it unplayable when seperated frfr

[turbid ocean]

Hell I should just make anti gladiia/lumen propaganda posters

[rough yarrow]

No but I will

[ember pine]

[ember pine]

Well you dodged this bullet

[turbid ocean]

what

[ember pine]

Can’t misunderstand something you don’t read🥹

[candid forge]

Anyone know? Haven't kept up with CN side 👀

[turbid ocean]

[deft aspen]

I excluded battleplan arclight, sss, but could not find ccb4. And choose till act or die trago event. And it is showing this now.

[turbid ocean]

uh no

[turbid ocean]

arclight = ccb4

[median fable]

they didn't, it would be broken

[turbid ocean]

un toggle this, and add Tragodia to your planner if you haven't

[abstract mauve]

for sure yeah. she's nice for welfare only actually. her slow off-skill is quite consistent like 80-90% uptime on 1 enemy. her damage on-skill is alright and she has good range and good uptime

[candid forge]

Dang, so they really just left the archetypes collecting dust?

[median fable]

next pusher must have push force 5 🥹

[ember pine]

What more could they do..?

[median fable]

thx

[shadow bay]

have the ability to ignore weight or something.... surely

[abstract mauve]

she's in the same place as sankta miksa i would say of just being decent but not an active recommend. however i would say that overall i can find myself recommending sankta miksa over her

[turbid ocean]

To power creep weedy you're going to need a operator doing tsunamis and shoving the entire battle field

[median fable]

give more push force and go from the burst dps era to the push era

laneholder->burst dps->pusher
so peak

[abstract mauve]

pusher that can push weight 10 🔥🖊️

[pallid basin]

beginner guide pls, im new

[deft aspen]

Tragodia goal should be what? I mean like S1,2,3 m123, mod?

[shadow bay]

pins

[turbid ocean]

S2M3 + Mod2 for starters

[candid forge]

To be fair, they managed to do that tether thing with Shu, so off the top of my head, tether unit for x seconds and they'll be forced to come back to that area again and repeat their route to blue box

[median fable]

start reading pins, if you have more specific questions ask here

[proven kelp]

Why stop there
Allow them to displace stationary enemies

[abstract mauve]

so peak

[ember pine]

You’re just describing shu’s kit

[proven kelp]

Give them the pvz portals

[abstract mauve]

imagine shu's kit but single target instead

[median fable]

most I can think is giving them a summon that can also push. Wait a moment...

[stark gulch]

yoooooo phantom

[candid forge]

My bad, I meant have them remain in the area (by binding/stunning/slowing them with other units), mark them when enough time passes, and then on another button click whenever after skill end, warp the marked regardless of wherever they are on the map back to that spot once

[ember pine]

Uhhh, ok

[median fable]

atp it's theory crafting and I doubt it's in the #help job to do it

[deft aspen]

I think I did everything you said and now it's showing this

[turbid ocean]

Select the event at the bottom

to calculate up to

Hi chat I forgot if New Hotel Avenue was bad

[ember pine]

The anni? You will want like typhon or krooster for the low altitude hovering and dolly is a total pushover, but if you don’t know the bottle mechanics gg

[turbid ocean]

Never played event and did anni on main months ago forgot

is having that anti LAH very important...

[ember pine]

Nah but it’s nice, you can mostly spawn camp

[near hollow]

how long do we have to complete v-12 for the trimmed medal

[median fable]

like 13 hrs iirc

[near hollow]

until daily reset?

[turbid ocean]

It goes like 4 hours past daily reset no?

[median fable]

same importance as Logos s1 in the paddy field basically, neat to have but not unclearable without it

[median fable]

not sure

[turbid ocean]

Its 4 hours past reset

[fiery lynx]

Gramps havent done vector

[deft aspen]

This means I only need those mats?

[nimble zenith]

are events starting at 8 now

[median fable]

I still need to do like half the stages 🥹

[shadow bay]

i think only 3 hrs??? server time reset is in 5:00 yeh?

[turbid ocean]

Im baby player 💢
also its my alt i cba

[turbid ocean]

3:59 PST

[turbid ocean]

Events have been starting 2 hours earlier than previous patches yes

[median fable]

how difficult is vec12?

[turbid ocean]

Its pretty cringe

[shadow bay]

ohhh... probably i botched timeline conversion

[turbid ocean]

But nothing that 4 limited operators can't solve

[median fable]

shu, yu, exu2 and?

[abstract mauve]

vec 12 asks that you play the game 😔

[thorny edge]

reed

[turbid ocean]

@fathom nest can you add this
Trim Medal Ends: <t:1762441140:F>

Oh right Reed idk why i thought 4

[shadow bay]

surely the ytbers have low end that only use one of the highly used ops in vec 12

[median fable]

used her in a garrison stage

[proven abyss]

if im using a support character i need to atleast have one elite 1/2 in my squad for them to be able to unlock their elite1/2 too right?

[thorny edge]

her hps on s2 kinda valuable for keeping yu alive 😔

[turbid ocean]

I used S3, borrow Eyjaberry for cope

[deft aspen]

Why did the required mats decrease? I'm clueless

[ember pine]

I did too, s2 seems like it would work well tho

[turbid ocean]

Because it calculated in materials you will get in the future from the inserted events

this is why i made you make the krooster.com account

💔

[thorny edge]

if u have buffs its pretty easy, the clear is ling + ethan

[deft aspen]

Ah thanks a lot. I thought it was just for characters sharing.

[rough yarrow]

Is kernel worth rn because of Thorns?

[ember pine]

Kernel is absolutely never worth it

[deft aspen]

Btw why does hearts of the flame event not cost any sanity?

[thorny edge]

idea is using the better dps and exu s3 to break shield fast

[median fable]

thankfully I have all of them

[shadow bay]

yes

[rough yarrow]

They were feeling nice

[deft aspen]

Did they forget to put it

[ember pine]

Fair, I brought more ops cuz cba to study the clear and copy once I figured out the general idea lol

[shadow bay]

i dunno probably they trying something out... or like one said feeling nice...

unfortunately only the devs would know

[calm raptor]

Are the skins in the bot planner thingy the only ones that’ll be rerunning/coming or is there a chance for random skins to pop up again?

[lost girder]

it was one of the first events if not the first one, they were trying different things

[turbid ocean]

Uh hermitzplanner.com has the best viewer, made by the same guy
let me look at the command, i think it onl shows new skins hold up

[shadow bay]

some events have different format until they settle to what we have used nowadays

[turbid ocean]

Okay it doesn't show alot of reruns

Use hermitz' website, in the pins ya

[calm raptor]

Mb for asking but uhh I can’t seem to find where pins are

[deft aspen]

Oh thanks

[turbid ocean]

Desktop? top of the screen rightish

Mobile uh press on the channel name

[calm raptor]

Icic thanks alot

[humble nova]

Yu’s a guy..?

[turbid ocean]

yes...

[thorny edge]

he's clearly a guy

[humble nova]

Ah.. I see

[ember pine]

Are you sure about that

[abstract mauve]

i wanna find out

[turbid ocean]

You see I would redirect questions like that
But other channels may not give accurate response...

[undone portal]

yus not even a twink hes a child 💢

[thorny edge]

fib in trouble

[stone karma]

Should I raise weedy?

[quick heath]

What are some of the best ops to get with gold certs? (have Mylnar and Ines)

[shadow bay]

if u in need of a rly good pusher sure

but yeh u know that tech is niche and rarely needed

[stone karma]

Is weedy used in the next cc?

[shadow bay]

ray ascalon ig... although might take some while coz pretty sure they dont have gold cert debut yet

[stone karma]

Ah ok il hold off on her and max out tragodia after lemuen then

[lethal chasm]

Is there gonna be another time logos is available or is that another spark thing?

[stone karma]

Logos is non limited I'm pretty sure

[abstract mauve]

just hope that they dont make the next orienteering banner worse. he's there at 33% chance to get (in CN)

[turbid ocean]

If you spend on the game

Its prob the single best purchase after monthly card

$30

[lethal chasm]

Ah okay so what banner would he be available on? Or does that mean there's a chance on getting him whenever?

[quick heath]

Would Mudrock be bad for the acc? Kinda want her just cus she looks cool ^^

[stone karma]

Idk sry

[hallow raft]

We don't know.

[turbid ocean]

Mudrocks kind of dead weight

[turbid ocean]

hes a standard operator he can appear any where any time he wants

shileds was talking about a gone by orienteering banner on CN

works same way as the current one on EN, just the operators tend to change

[stone karma]

I got logos on thorns alter banner lol

[pulsar mantle]

Is there a way to have all six slots available on the recruitment tags or is that empty spot just there to disappoint me?

[turbid ocean]

correct

remember, every time you get the "starter" tag, you got scammed of a tag too

🥹

[stone karma]

Fucking bruh

[crisp dawn]

mostima mody3 s3m3?

[stone karma]

I max potted all the 2 stars as well so it really is a waste lol

[sick karma]

Should I start praying before I attempt to clear chapter 4-4

[pulsar mantle]

Sad news, but thank you

[turbid ocean]

is mody the -dp?

think it is

[stone karma]

Stage can't be that bad right?

[turbid ocean]

yes mod3 is technically ideal

[ebon rain]

Evening, anyone with Yu S2M3 that i could borrow please, stuck on VEC-12 and really in a bind without one. Sorry for interrupting

[sick karma]

3-8 took me like, nearly an hour to figure out..

[turbid ocean]

Uh pro tip theres road blocks

I only realized on my 4th attempt of the stage when i was new

[stone karma]

You can solo with Shaw lol

[sick karma]

Oh wait, road blocks.. oh okay. Got it, this.. shouldn’t be that difficult

Idk, I get intimidated by boss stages

[turbid ocean]

You can play around alot with the road blocks

[stone karma]

Watch out for 4-7 tho

[lethal chasm]

Damn 🥹

[turbid ocean]

force enemies to go around the entire place if you mess up

Just need some brain usage

[sick karma]

The red emblem on those stages

[sick karma]

[crisp dawn]

modx (caster spr) is only really useful for casterknights niche right

[sick karma]

Oh the uh, clusters? I finished it

Oh nvm I didn’t

[stone karma]

When's i portatori dei velluti rerunning?

[near hollow]

moist sword bag takes effect even when not deployed right?

[turbid ocean]

Rerun announced on CN

[turbid ocean]

what

[crisp dawn]

late november for cn, late may for us

[stone karma]

Ah got it thx

[turbid ocean]

This counts as speculation

[crisp dawn]

[turbid ocean]

You can read bean rule 5

[odd heart]

How long does it take for Record Restoration to occur for older events that already reran? Or is it just kinda “whenever they announce it” deal?

[turbid ocean]

a year after their rerun

its like not a huge announcement

they put it in the notes some where

[woven walrus]

No one replied to this so I will. Not exactly bad per say, but you should never pull on kernel as a beginner. Plus u have saria. If u want her and dont mind possibly losing tons of value for her sure pull for her but its not worth it. Also for such a account warfarin s2 is better.

[arctic hawk]

Just ignore the blue name typing ig

[turbid ocean]

Warfarin S2 is not better

What do they need the buff for lol

[near hollow]

this is the only week 1 limited thing for this event right?

[hollow patrol]

What Vigil module is best for general use?

[shadow bay]

u can also say some rewards in garrison but yeh

[turbid ocean]

seems like it

[near hollow]

excellent

[turbid ocean]

oh garrison rewards are like CC rotating stages?

[unkempt pollen]

it’s just 25 bonus points if you clear in the first 3 days

[shadow bay]

should be minimal but it have limited time on it....

[turbid ocean]

Ah so kind of whatever nice

[unkempt pollen]

both are about equal, but one is better for tanking/stalling while the other is better for… whatever dps vigil shits out

[pale frigate]

is blaze's module more than doubling her attack vs blocked enemies or is it 10% more attack

[turbid ocean]

10% more attack

🥹

[woven walrus]

Pls what is wrong with warfarin s2 then. It increases warfarin healing by a lot plus dmg for 1 op, in this case can be any of his ops that already heal big dmg. He has no prob with healing, seeing from how he plays saria s1.

[unkempt pollen]

increases attack “to” 110% is what it says i assume, which means it goes from 100% —> 110%

[turbid ocean]

If you really like afking with Blaze you can go for max module

[unkempt pollen]

if you need healing, use silence or ptilo, they’re multi-targets and don’t cause hp drain
damage buff is kind of useless for newbies or people with underdeveloped dps operators since buffing no damage is still no damage

[pale frigate]

its kinda strange wording but i assumed it was just 10%, thats so ass esp. when shes killing a lot of unblocked enemies too with the s2 range 😭 i mostly use mine as an s2 laneholder alongside a defender but i should make use of her s3 more often

i just wanted to be certain it wasnt a massive amt of damage i was missing out on or smth

[woven walrus]

Have u even looked at his ops...

[turbid ocean]

They don't have the silence it looks like but
The damage boost for the 1 op isn't worth given that they have literally some of the best dpses in the game in that account, its actually less valuable
Its not that there is something wrong with Warf S2, its just S1 does just simply heal more when you need it to

[unkempt pollen]

and when you do have properly developed dps ops, they don’t need buffs half the time since either

1. they’re self-sufficient
2. they’re like logos and just distills the buffs
   there’s only a really shitty middle ground where dps ops want a buffer unless you’re doing some buff army bs which is just overkill for fun

[lost girder]

blaze s3 is pretty bad, just stick with s2 afk laneholder

[turbid ocean]

Wisadel and Mlynar don't benefit much at all from it
Exu/Lemuen are the best targets and at that you need to kind of make sure Warfarin is positioned to help them

[true plover]

Do bards benefit from aspd buff?

[woven walrus]

Ok sure at least this i accept

[nimble zenith]

prob the dodge one for s1 stalling

[turbid ocean]

Mlynar has 400% attack buff dilution

Wisadel skill takes 30 seconds and has 180% attack dilution

[lost girder]

it was bad like 5 years ago on release, its much worse now with all the powercreep

[split forge]

What was tragodia class again? Spec?

[nimble zenith]

supp

[unkempt pollen]

yes i was typing a second message
and now that you mention it… this account kinda uhh

[lost girder]

supporter iirc

[crisp dawn]

supporter

[turbid ocean]

That account more than anyone should not use Warf S2

[polar hollow]

so like how do silver and prama alter look so far?

[split forge]

Bruh I’ve been farming the wrong chips wtf

[turbid ocean]

Warf S2 I see in the situation where Exu is your only carry

[woven walrus]

Yeah I saw the second message

[turbid ocean]

and you need to DPS a high defense boss

thats literally it

[hollow patrol]

tysm for the answers!

[ember pine]

Same as they did on release, no skins yet

[unkempt pollen]

wtfart #help prefiring

[turbid ocean]

Pramanix > Sash2 for the average player it seems

Sash2 is niche

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/dc6368d5c0
here’s a graph for his different mods btw, scroll down the equations for the stuff regarding tanking/stalling

[nimble zenith]

is this a new era of afk

[crisp dawn]

stupid wolf twink 🥀

you should see my other titles (but not here)

sexy wolf twink 🪒

[nimble zenith]

yippee!!!

[hollow patrol]

i just love vigil 🥀 , thankies

[nimble zenith]

have fun using him!!

[thorny edge]

can we have fun 🥺

[turbid ocean]

Hush

go have fun in #arknights

[nimble zenith]

the demons are almost dispelled

[chrome tiger]

demons??? Like in le horned

[turbid ocean]

[unkempt pollen]

there’s been no questions in 8 minutes im frothing at the mouth

[nimble zenith]

does exu have higher dps than tachanka

does exu2 even have higher dps than exu
0 def ofc

[chrome tiger]

maybe

[unkempt pollen]

i think i lost my tachanka calcs but i go look

[turbid ocean]

Tachanka is like 8K? 9K?

[thorny edge]

this is a yes, 0 def exu is like 8k

[chrome tiger]

s3 does for sure

[turbid ocean]

Exu2 is like 11K

[nimble zenith]

omg i forgot s3 existed

[unkempt pollen]

s2 and s3 are only like 500 dps apart at 0 def
if you include the rdp damage from s3 then its like 650 but who cares fr

[thorny edge]

isnt s3 12k dps

[chrome tiger]

this creature is something ig

[nimble zenith]

is exu a1 good for afk

[unkempt pollen]

that’s p6 🥹
idk why everyone remembers 12k, is it because of dragongjy?

[thorny edge]

myb i dont speak the language of poor

[turbid ocean]

S2 S3 is over 1K DPS apart no?

[nimble zenith]

dw i don’t either 🪒

[thorny edge]

no its cuz i only told people the p6 numbers 🤫

[charred tundra]

https://www.krooster.com/u/kinv is there anyone important i should get with senior operator tags or just pick whatever?

[turbid ocean]

If you frame round S2 takes 14.67s to vomit out

[spice solar]

67

[turbid ocean]

Exu2 P1 Max:
S2 / S3:
DPH / Talent DPH / Total Damage / DPS

[chrome tiger]

senior van is always a viable pick but you can check recruit calcs if there’s anything else interesting you want

[unkempt pollen]

p1 s2: 10.28k
p1 s3: 10.78k
p6 s2: 11.53k
p6 s3: 12.05k
adding redeploy damage to s3 is like +180 dps at p1 and +210 dps at p6

[turbid ocean]

Didn't frame round S2

[unkempt pollen]

the difference is greater if you use frame rounding cause s2 is like 10.58 frames and gets cucked

[turbid ocean]

[unkempt pollen]

idk i feel like if it was 10.58 frames it’d just alternate between 10 and 11, unless they’d actually round down something like 4.45 frames to 4 frames

which would be kinda stupid good for low atk int breakpoints

[turbid ocean]

Would help high ASPD krooster quite a bit

[nimble zenith]

afaik it just rounds straight to the nearest
it might be more subject to frame drops though idk

[silver smelt]

who do i want for VEC-06?

[orchid kite]

Mostima what mod

[shadow bay]

-dp cost with more slow one mod3

[wispy wigeon]

Is base amiya worth using senior training apparatus on

I want to unlock her module but dunno if I should just use the apparatus or use normal exp

[orchid kite]

Kk

[shadow bay]

if this is the insta e2, u want likes of tequila since they would matter more

if it just the level 80 one, u can put it whenever since it just base levels, not rly matter that much... but ideally u still use it to ur best dps

[wispy wigeon]

It is the insta lvl 80 one yea
I see, thanks

[chilly juniper]

Out of the two who would be better to get first? Logos or mlynar? Im fairly new-ish so i only have a handful of admitedly pretty good 6* units and am thinking of buying the top operator pack, as far as i've heard those would be some of my best pick but i cant decide which would be better

[eternal pelican]

I think logos. He is at least more usable at E1 than mlynar

[chilly juniper]

I mean i can e2 units, its more just what would be the best 6* to get for the selector

[shadow bay]

need arts coverage???? logos
need physical coverage??? mlynar

given game have some copable physical dpses right of the bat, u would appreciate arts coverage more.. and tbh logos still have little to no competition to arts dps atm

[eternal pelican]

still logos. Mlynar is good but have more "replacment" possible imo

[chilly juniper]

I currently have ulpi, thorns kalstit and amiya at e2

Also degen and lappy

[eternal pelican]

logos is just the best dps caster in the game. He shred literally everyone
And huge stats in endgame don't stop him

[chilly juniper]

Replacement? As in other options or?

[proven kelp]

Mlynar

[proven kelp]

No?
Logos is still fucked by huge stats, especially in IS3
You're overestimating logos

[chilly juniper]

I mean my best caster rn is amiya so 😭

[silver smelt]

who isnt fucked by huge stats

[eternal pelican]

Ceobe who want huge def 😅

[shadow bay]

i wish i am logos now

[humble nova]

best method to get more module blocks?

[chilly juniper]

I'm getting that logos would probably be a good pick right? Since i dont have many competent casters

[eternal pelican]

buy monthly with red cert. buy them in event shop (during event). Do SSS mission to get them (first clear)

[proven kelp]

Just do Mlynar
You can easily just brute force shit with him lol

[humble nova]

gotcha

[humble nova]

If ur using amiya for caster and lack large dps, get logos

[eternal pelican]

in the end, both will clear 90-95% of the content so choose who you prefer

[chilly juniper]

I mean i do have thorns module at e2 he does do quite a bit of extra arts dmg

[humble nova]

yeah no... get logos

[chrome tiger]

Realisticly logos cuz you can just pull leizi later

[chilly juniper]

I mean true, i might do mlynar cause im pmoon pilled and like how they added him in the collab with limbus + he looks cool

[humble nova]

why leizi when u can pull tragodia ☕

[eternal pelican]

yes, in the end waifu/husbando > meta

[chrome tiger]

look at this poor ass who cant pull everyone in the next 6 months

[chilly juniper]

Now to wait for shu...

[proven kelp]

Or you know
Use both

[humble nova]

Well from the sounds of it, he sounds new, meaning a lot of pulls.

[chrome tiger]

20 hope for double mlynar

[proven kelp]

Not like Mlynar is dying because you own Leizi

[vestal needle]

Which of the packs should I go for?

[chrome tiger]

yeah but like who the fuck brings both bruh

that’s just excessive

[proven kelp]

Is this like IS context?
Then you're still picking Mlynar

[chrome tiger]

Nightingale if no nightingale, otherwise just yolo

[chilly juniper]

Tbh when IS shu actually coming back, i stopped playing for a bit but am back into arknights now, i have a few ten pulls saved at the moment...

[chrome tiger]

is this like between mlynar and logos or

[proven kelp]

It was just Mlynar or Logos
Then you mentioned Hope

[humble nova]

what skill would nightingale use?

[spare jetty]

3

[severe crypt]

Next sui banner she’ll be spark/offrate, not recommended to spark

[chrome tiger]

oh i was talking mlynar vs leizi

[chilly juniper]

Dang, so its truly gamba to get her or?

[proven kelp]

About 9 months from now
Since the next limited after Salter is a Sui, and that's 3 months from it, so 9 from now

[severe crypt]

Either cope an offrate, or spend 300 pulls on the banner, the latter which is not recommended

[chilly juniper]

Well 9 months should give me lots of time to save, i have a man with a funny sword now so i should be set for a bit

[chrome tiger]

does he know

[chilly juniper]

Wuh uh

[severe crypt]

Don’t like most men have a funny sword in this game

[chilly juniper]

Yk fair

[severe crypt]

Who are you even referring to

[chilly juniper]

Mlynar i just got him

[severe crypt]

Even if you have mlynar, the upcoming banners are very very good and it might not be the best idea to skip them

[chilly juniper]

Man im so torn on continuing story and getting materials, like i only have so much sanity

[humble nova]

sanity or sanity

[chilly juniper]

Uh oh, what banners are coming up that i should be pulling on

[severe crypt]

Check pins for upcoming banner priority

[chilly juniper]

Both

[humble nova]

its literally just tragodia and the hoshi alt banner (and anything above that is preference or musts). But those two seem the biggest.

he can prob build enough pulls maybe for both and other banner he may be looking forward to

[severe crypt]

Also Leizi alt, also sakiko if you care about collab, and the silverash alt banner

[ancient lintel]

How dare you forget mylnar 2.0

[humble nova]

🙄

[shadow bay]

i know how to build enuf pulls

[chilly juniper]

There's a mlynar 2.0?? 😭

[severe crypt]

You could argue mantra, but thankfully she doesn’t do much to beat the competition

[spare jetty]

leizialt

[severe crypt]

Leizi alt, while a mlynar sidegrade, can’t hurt to have 2 mlyanrs

[ancient lintel]

Is leizi alt m9 worthy? Cause like all of her skills are pretty good

[chilly juniper]

Ahh like that, fair enough then, almost spooked me there

[severe crypt]

And that’s not even considering banners between Silverash alt and the sui banner

[chilly juniper]

It seems i have a lot to look forward to, i'll save all my pulls for now and see where it goes

[sinful tartan]

should I?

[vital kelp]

no

[severe crypt]

Marcille? Only mod1 is enough

[sinful tartan]

so stage 1?

[shadow bay]

base mod is nice so u have much better chance deploying her since less dp cost

imagine 30 ish dp for afk op

[severe crypt]

Mudrock:

[lethal chasm]

Lmao I keep dying to the guy that insta kills things at the top

[humble nova]

I need SSS tips, gonna fully touch it now 🙌

[sinful tartan]

ah the lag stage

[shadow bay]

the what??? those bishes who leave hologram when hit?

[stark gulch]

i t hink they mean the sniper that only hits ops in sandstorm

[nimble zenith]

you can try the old school ifrit strat for the top

[shadow bay]

oh yeh the one in invis...

just dont get hit by sandstorm frfr

[nimble zenith]

actually mlynar above cuora facing up should be fine too

[proven kelp]

Why are you not using Mlynar skill
Did you use SA skill before he died
Oh, why is SA down there

[shadow bay]

uhhh.... just get 1-2 main core

get ops to stack buff em

and plant supporters to cycle ur deck

[humble nova]

dayum I didnt understand a bit of that 😌
But dully noted

[proven kelp]

Why is right double fortification
That's a waste, would have been better if you just fortified the top one

[stark gulch]

main premise of sss gameplay is that you superbuff a couple carries

[shadow bay]

yeh sss is about stocking ur ops so ur main carry would get buff depending on the ops u stack with

and supporters help cycle ur team due to their skill in sss when deployed

[humble nova]

ohh I see I see, welp that also gave me an enlightenment to revisit the sss mechanics 😌

[chrome tiger]

Also iirc the buffs apply to base stat so you can stack atk% on mlynar as much as you like

though most go for sp regen too

[shadow bay]

i still believe in 5 guard mlynar 🥹

[undone portal]

pick a few main dps ops to serve as your carries, youll be stacking buffs and then capping off with them as final deploys to finish the stage
bring vanguards/supporters and/or lots of low dp ops so you have the dp to cycle through your hand and stack quickly. robots work great, u-official/phonor are excellent

[proven kelp]

Mlynar is just Guard B + Spec B

[stark gulch]

last i played (like pretty much when sss first came out) most people went half sp gen half of the other buff (i think atk spd)

[undone portal]

sniper/specialist stack on goldenglow/lappalt is an easy way to just sit back and relax for most sss maps

[humble nova]

ah.. the main dps's I have are wisadel, exualter, and lemuen, but they are expensive (asiding exualt).
Do I only want one of em?

[ruby cliff]

in RA do zone upgrades reset?

[chrome tiger]

No they should be perma

[nimble zenith]

it lowkey doesn’t matter as long as you have buffs
though you should be grabbing sp

[humble nova]

also for clarity, sss doesn't consume sanity right?

[undone portal]

the carries themselves can be expensive, you just want cheap ops filling out the rest of the squad so you dont spend too much dp getting your buffs set up for them

[chrome tiger]

As long as the buildings you put down are still there

[shadow bay]

lemuen 5 caster stack

[ivory terrace]

only ur real one

[nimble zenith]

i’m a lemuen exu sss hater

[humble nova]

gotcha, and does sss auto lvls up my units, or do I need to start caring about elite 1'ing and lvling up low units?

[stark gulch]

i dont think lemuen will cycle fast enough tbh?

[chrome tiger]

now lemuen can use her skill every two waves!

[undone portal]

sss copies your current levels

[humble nova]

oh? whys that

[nimble zenith]

lemuens damage window is so small
exu is st

[stark gulch]

yea thats what i was thinking, lemuen wont cycle fast enough to be a carry

[shadow bay]

although wisadel caster stack is neat... boom voom every now and then so neat

[lilac arch]

When is the best time to read Babel? After which chapter

[undone portal]

your buff stackers can be super weak, theyre staying fielded for like a millisecond if youre doing it right

[stark gulch]

maybe wis s2?

[humble nova]

Should I only use exualt then? or is wisadel optional.
If it matters I also have 1 pot in exualt so its x1 cheaper

[shadow bay]

cant wait her to spend the skill to dogs coz haha rng hate u

[nimble zenith]

wis is a top carry

[humble nova]

ahh gotcha, thankfully I have her mod 3 and s3m3

[undone portal]

sss very much supports aoe/multitarget dmg and crowdcontrol most, find carries that do both, ideally

[chrome tiger]

Lemuen literally has no rng in her kit what

[humble nova]

ohhh noted

[shadow bay]

also

bring robots for stacking

[humble nova]

her s3 is kinda rng

[shadow bay]

isnt her s3 random hitting??? or i misremember it

[chrome tiger]

nham i think ur just bad

[stark gulch]

it cycles between targets so its not random but it will usuall hit targets you dont want

[shadow bay]

im always bad wdym 🥹

[nimble zenith]

its lowest def until everyone in range is marked then random iirc

[chrome tiger]

it has a prio order looks closer

[humble nova]

I say its rng cuz lemuen can have the said enemies in her range, which affects her targeting for wanted enemies.

[shadow bay]

yeh okay i am indeed bad... lemme revisit her kit

[undone portal]

if youve ever played a tabletop card game (pokemon tcg, magic, etc), think of supporters as your 'draw another card' card. its good to have a few so you dont accidentally brick your hand

[nimble zenith]

she’ll be targetign 5 microscopic rats instead of the enemies you want to kill though

[stark gulch]

well yea cuz her kit doesnt have any focus on wanted enemies except for s2

[humble nova]

her s3 does have focus on wanted enemies tho

Wait what, bro. I literally used her s3 on the boss in ex stages, when they were not in her range.

[nimble zenith]

idt it prioritizes wanted though

[humble nova]

Oh wait you meant priority

[stark gulch]

yes

[undone portal]

enemies in sss dont have enough hp to warrant lemuen s2, and s3 getting distracted is a big problem on most sss maps, they like throwing trash at you
s3 chooses targets lemuen can see, both in her range and those who are wanted. s3 wont prioritize wanted targets

[humble nova]

Ah yeah fair enough, still lowkey rng ☕ unless you time it rlly right, which is uncomfortable at times

[formal shadow]

It's not RNG if you know how it works

[lethal chasm]

So funny enough Mlynar skills was just available right after they killed logos

[undone portal]

lemuen isnt rng at all

[chrome tiger]

it prios lowest number of marks iirc

[humble nova]

noted, so do I only use a wisadel squad for sss? or do I change squads time to time?

[lethal chasm]

And which skill would that be? Where should SA be?

[undone portal]

wis'adel carry honestly works everywhere

lappalt carry feels like it takes less effort ime

[humble nova]

alr bet ty, lvl.60 works just fine as long as she has mod3 s3m3 right..? or do I needa lvl her up

[undone portal]

global range = taking out everything on the map = cycling to next phase before enemies can stack levels

[undone portal]

yea, lv60 is more than fine. this isnt contingency contract

[humble nova]

gotcha and where do I check to see what kind of teams u build for Wis?

[undone portal]

honestly its just wis + 5 of the cheapest snipers youve got. deploy them first, set wis on top, stack additional help on other tiles. win

[shadow bay]

u would mostly see stack recommendation

as for who to stack, its whatever, ideally the cheaper ones since ur bound with dp(thats why u would see robots in sss)

[humble nova]

what lvl should I have the low units at minimum? cuz like.. saving resources for tragodia 🙏

[undone portal]

as said earlier, robots as buff stackers works great

[nimble zenith]

wis+snipers?

stack casters/vanguards on her

[undone portal]

the buffers dont even need to be leveled really, if you can get the carry fielded fast enough

[shadow bay]

but cant hurt ofc to bring strong ops to stack with... just to have someone to rely on when shit happens

[humble nova]

hmm alright

[humble nova]

so I can put in exualter with wis? :0 cuz she is pretty cheap right?

[nimble zenith]

there’s some supporters who are good mid stack like suzuran gnosis

[undone portal]

i will shill using trapmasters with specialistB equipment if you have any built. cheap to buff with, can hold the line with traps temporarily, aspd + sp equipment once you replace them

[soft lion]

tragodia is a Supporter? or Specialist?

[nimble zenith]

sup

[shadow bay]

the specialist have +sp stack yeh???? i still use the one that... move ops stacked to deployment zone

[soft lion]

thanks.

[nimble zenith]

i usually use spec a too
though i don’t bring more than one spec either way

[shadow bay]

u can check if spec have sp talent when stacking... if there is u can proceed yeh

me just dumbly bring snipers to stack on wisadel

alternatively, u can also bring tactician and use vg sp regen stack for wisadel

given mlynar also want the taste of that sp regen buff if u would bring him also/support him

[nimble zenith]

what’s up with this uptick in wisadel sniper stackers 😭

[shadow bay]

me use wisadel sniper

in last sss rotation that is

[nimble zenith]

didn’t that rotation have massive sniper stack buffs

[shadow bay]

theres a gadget that give.... 100 def ignore??? per sniper stack

[nimble zenith]

begin to live in the present and stop dragging the past in, and only then can we reach the future

the future being 5 caster/vg wisadel ofc

[hallow raft]

I believe it's like, on specific SSS mode where u get the gadget

[nimble zenith]

yes it was the gadget in the tw tower

[shadow bay]

nope i would still cry with sss not having that pump gadget anymore

[shadow bay]

yes indeed it is on one sss map

[nimble zenith]

ok then go cry idgaf
but don’t tell people to stack sniper when that device isn’t here anymore 😭

[slim tusk]

stack sniper on wisadel ||not||

[shadow bay]

but yeh im not a fan of sniper stack... given how her s3 works im dumb to caster stack it... i dont recall who sell sniper stack here but eh

last rotation was just a consideration given its mechanics

[nimble zenith]

the culprit

die

[rough yarrow]

Should I invest in Keen Kroos?

[shadow bay]

sure... she would be ur reliable marksman in the long run

[rough yarrow]

If I have Exu is she still worth it?

[humble nova]

exu2 or normal exu

[rough yarrow]

Normal Exu

[nimble zenith]

is your exu built

[rough yarrow]

She’s like mid E1

[shadow bay]

uhhh

she still have use cases so u can still raise her.... and if not all most of marksman are washed nowadays

although if ur exu is raised and u have better priority, u can pospone krooster for now

or u can let ur krooster sit at e1 sl7 and settle on that.... if u can spare that bit of resources

[shadow bay]

so yeh... the question is do u have better operators to invest in so u can pospone krooster for now?

[rough yarrow]

Yeah probably

I have Lapp and Taquila to work on so if I’m good for now

[hallow raft]

Is bp only in kernel now?

[sacred elm]

who recommended you blue poison

[hallow raft]

No one, I asked out of curiosity.

[signal dragon]

she's been kernel for a long time

[hallow raft]

I see. I'm really old.

[sacred elm]

year0 op

[hallow raft]

How does bp stand against all the snipers of her archetype within her rarity?

[sinful tartan]

how to obtain red cert?

[shadow bay]

although yeh... u can never go wrong investing a bit with krooster

she have nice kit for a 5 star, u may see her name plopping out every now and then compare to exu whos completely forgotten 🥹

[spare jetty]

AP-5

[sacred elm]

not the worst sniper but she aged pretty well

[random mountain]

Has niche on shangshu map
Otherwise not good

[proven kelp]

Like she's like the 2nd best, but the difference between 2nd and 1st is just so massive that it's basically just 3rd worse

It's like Grey < Plat < BP <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Krooster

[random mountain]

I would put insider there somewhere
But it doesnt matter

[proven kelp]

Oh right
I forgot about his existence tbh

[sacred elm]

insider is male so he dont exist

[proven kelp]

So true

[hallow raft]

Would you look at that. I raised all 3 except Krooster.

[proven kelp]

Crazy

[hallow raft]

I guess I'll add krooster to the list of ops I will be raising.

[woeful zodiac]

greythroat better 2nd spotter but yeah nobody should rly care about the 5 star snipers other than kroos2

[sacred elm]

you can cope that you are prep for all 3 alter

[woeful zodiac]

bp is hitcount slave that is obliterated by ethan s1 🙂

[sacred elm]

wait what archetype is april?

[shadow bay]

marksman

[woeful zodiac]

marksman

[shadow bay]

but she works like semi frd marksman

[stark gulch]

aprils niche is nice, i used her for vector breakthrough

[proven kelp]

Is there a particular reason you're raising a 4th AA sniper?
You don't really need that much, and while Kroos2 is just significantly better, Anti Air department should already suffice with the investment you poured in already.

Unless you're planning on using her for IS, don't bother

[vestal mauve]

I managed to beat the stage with a support Shu lol

[shadow bay]

ive used her to push bombs in garrison... so useful 🥹

[hallow raft]

Well I have gotten a bit into IS, but I don't use much of the 5 and 4 stars. Don't know if I'll eventually start using them as I gain experience in the game mode.

[proven kelp]

Just use Lappalter and GG smh
Imagine using a 5*

[stark gulch]

actually yes because she has reduced redeploy so you can use her to push the bomb and then redeploy her to push it again
though i used her for killing the stun snipers

[oak shale]

Anything in the store worth it right now? I've got lots of Google play points

[shadow bay]

i only remember theres a map that have stun snippers... like 3 in each side

[hallow raft]

monthly membership

[oak shale]

Ah I already got that with a $5 coupon I had haha

[sacred elm]

buy 2 monthly

[oak shale]

Lmaooo

[shadow bay]

can never go wrong with monthly card

but iirc the 6 star selector is still up, rly nice value

u can also cant go wrong with the one 30 bucks pack

and ummm... the kaltsit skin from animer shenanigans atill up

[sacred elm]

you can stack 3 monthly for 90 days

[proven kelp]

Unless you're planning on doing D15-D18 shit, you're really just fine spamming 6*

[desert yoke]

If your roster is young then blue poison is a solid pick, she won’t age too well but not many marksmen do

In her rarity it’s pretty much between her and kroos, with kroos focusing more on single-target burst and blue poison being more niche with her multi-target/hit count advantage

[sacred elm]

hi iggy

[turbid ocean]

Theres no competition

[oak shale]

Dis one?

[turbid ocean]

No one has an excuse to use BP over Kroos2

[desert yoke]

I do

[turbid ocean]

Marksmen suck in general anyways, Kroos2 just happens to be the best

[shadow bay]

no, the maid skin

[turbid ocean]

You can do whatever you want

[signal dragon]

igneus plays 5* knights

[shadow bay]

like its a bundel with a 10 pull on it

[oak shale]

Oh snap let me find it

[desert yoke]

Okay but maybe don’t speak in absolutes that you know aren’t true

[turbid ocean]

Im sure you can find some niches

But just for newbies

[shadow bay]

[turbid ocean]

Don't want to be absolute to everything overall

[desert yoke]

For noobs blue poison is as fine as the next best marksman

[turbid ocean]

Yeah but just no reason to even bring her up with Kroos2 being welfare

[signal dragon]

only problem is kernel locked and theirs better options for selector

[desert yoke]

You ditch them all eventually and she clears every bar you need her to clear

[hallow raft]

Mb I brought her up out of curiosity

[desert yoke]

Idk man use both, noobs will likely need a marksmen duo

[oak shale]

Think I found it

[turbid ocean]

Dw

Its literally just Kroos + Kroos2

then you drop one

[coarse notch]

krooster + kroos is more than enough for marksmen

[turbid ocean]

The only way Kroos2 even gets E2 is for IS usage realistically

[hallow raft]

Yeah I can't lie, even I use kroos cause kroos' just cheaper and it does the job.

[sacred elm]

oh that the skin pack

[shadow bay]

yeyeye that one... u can consider it... esp if u simp for kal or something

but yeh other pack mentioned should be better in terms of pulls

[turbid ocean]

I guess E1-40 isn't that expensive but given you may want to invest further for purpose of IS, kroos2

[oak shale]

I used to but now typhon is it for me muahaha

[willow fog]

so E2 for reed alter or works just fine at E1 40?

[hallow raft]

I see, I'll decide after tragodia appears, if he even does that is

[shadow bay]

its just a consideration dw

i dont know if pack would rerun again, given those where selled when anime happens

[turbid ocean]

Realistically most operators you build go to E2 for the sake of masteries if they are strong enough

Yes, E2

If newbie then Reedic S2 can actually be pretty good, just requires some set up to get the most damage out of it

[silver smelt]

how large exactly is "large"

[quick jolt]

700

[plain bolt]

is there a difference between tokens and kernel tokens?

[vital kelp]

yellow cert and blue certs

[quick jolt]

you only get kernel tokens from pulling kernel, and they exchange for useless blue certs instead of green/yellow

[plain bolt]

should i just exchange tokens rather than use them on my units?

[quick jolt]

you cant exchange until they're max pot

in which case thats the only option

[plain bolt]

ahh, so basically you can wait to get 6 kernel tokens over time from whenever they give you kernel tickets or just use the regular tokens

was trying to figure out why it was giving me a warning that i wasn't using kernel tokens

[quick jolt]

when increasing pots of an operator they function the exact same

[rich relic]

does mlynar wants mod3 or mod1 is good enough ?

[sacred elm]

mod3

[rich relic]

damn

[quick jolt]

and both regular tokens and kernel tokens exist for operators in kernel because recruitment only gives the regular ones (thankfully)

[sacred elm]

ignore that pop up will make your life easier

[surreal lily]

who is better at e1 horn or mudrock

[sacred elm]

mudrock i think

[quick jolt]

is neither an option

[surreal lily]

why is there a better defender i have the itch to summon and i need a defender

[turbid ocean]

Errr neither are particularly close to meta

Horn is better if you have her already

[sacred elm]

there is hoshi alter upcoming

[turbid ocean]

But you don't necessarily need a defender

[silver smelt]

is it easier to buffless vec8 with logos or -20 def buff without him

[lament loom]

Okay this is cursed. I checked Krooster Recruitment and it seems my best chance is gambling between Suzuran Magallan with Top Op + Supporter

[unkempt pollen]

arknights is a game about patience if you want to be efficient, but its also lenient enough that you can pull whenever and do whatever and still scrape by... unless you dont plan on playing content that requires more restrictive comps
you could wait for hoshi alt like somebody else already said, but also you dont need a defender in your squad, or any class/archetype for that matter

[unkempt pollen]

well.. do just that then

[surreal lily]

i see

is there any summon simulator so i can scratch that itch

[sinful tartan]

how does the sarkaz artillery work? does it target the most recent deployed or by number of blocks?

[coarse notch]

which one, the londinium secondary defense artillery or the carts

if its the big cannon its highest block count operator

[sinful tartan]

the former

[sacred elm]

afaik there is one in prts.wiki
use tranlator to navigate it

[lament loom]

I lost the 50/50. Magallan :(
At least it was probably the best choice I got out of all the other options I could've had. 👍

[acoustic condor]

How do you counter Manfred and his fuckass artillery

[humble arrow]

Is it... magallan borderline useless...

[humble arrow]

Throw something fat at the corner

[acoustic condor]

Mudrock?

[coarse notch]

true damage, tank it, or bait it

[humble arrow]

3 block

[coarse notch]

cannon deals 3000 true damage so as long as you can tank that you can just throw the cannon into his face over and over again

[acoustic condor]

Man If only mudrock is healable by other medics 😞

[hallow raft]

You could also provide your roster so we can see what you can manage todo

[fiery canopy]

something something lemuen s2

[coarse notch]

or just put mudrock into the corner to bait the cannon

[fiery canopy]

if manfred takes dmg from his own arty he can't dodge aswell

[hallow raft]

🍋 + Mudrock in a corner.

[stark gulch]

lemon s2 would work yea just need to mark manfred with someone

[hallow raft]

drop in a random laterano

[fiery canopy]

exu2 or confess 47 ig

[stark gulch]

manfred will probably hit them so they need to have like some decent amount of hp, probably fia grandpa tbh
3 block too so might bait nuke

[fair tulip]

Erm that’s your squad

[hallow raft]

I don't see the problem then

[fiery canopy]

cant u just unga bunga it with that

[signal dragon]

id make a couple swaps if possible but that should be fine

[orchid kite]

CE skalter

[acoustic condor]

I deadass don't know how to use my ops properly

[fiery canopy]

but they are bards not medics

[signal dragon]

any regen heals them

[orchid kite]

Potato tomato

[hallow raft]

Probably, Lemon face the wall> Mudrock somewehre in a corner> Helidrop Exu2 + some random operator, activate Exu2 S2, while S2's active she may mark Manfred in the process, undeploy both Exu2 and the random op. and just clear the stage as usual.

[stark gulch]

does lemon really have to face the wall i dont think the stage has that many elites?

[fiery canopy]

she target's fodders aswell

[hallow raft]

I don't know, don't knwo thhe stage manfred's in

[stark gulch]

not with her s2 active

[fiery canopy]

ohh right s2

[stark gulch]

i dont remember either im opening the game to check

[hallow raft]

but yeah marking will be easy for Exu2 + random op cause she will beef up whoever.

[hallow tangle]

Guys what do you think do I need tragodia if I have virtuosa?

[fiery canopy]

somewhere in chap 10

[gray talon]

Lemuen S2 also ignores Manfred's dodge. Should be really easy, no?

[hallow raft]

They do different things. But yeah Tragodia's an upgrade from virt too.

[acoustic condor]

His artillery range is so large 😭

[hallow tangle]

Synergy?

[hallow raft]

They don't go well together, since they both want to proc their elementals

[signal dragon]

trag is a great op, works fine by himself

[umbral dune]

what's the meta use of sanity when there's no event; new(ish) player

[fiery canopy]

more like they compete against each other, if ur gonna use both, have them be at different areas of the map

[hallow raft]

Anyhow, he will be a great asset for you regardless if you got virtuosa or not. As he stalls and does other stuff Virtuosa just doesn't.

[hallow raft]

Story, Side Stories, Chips, Red Certs, The Blue and Green Books, Materials you need but know it won't come in the upcoming event, 1-7 probably?

[maiden thunder]

Base building materials (if base isn't finish)>progress story>chips>red certs>1-7>skillbooks

[signal dragon]

rocks, red certs, chips, farm first time clears. whatever you need

[coarse notch]

basically anything except for the lmd/exp stages

[vast oak]

wait should i be prioritizing story or farming ls-6?

[hallow raft]

Don't LS. If you need LS it probably means you still gotta work on your base first.

[vast oak]

my base is full lmd

[hallow raft]

252?

If you're 252 you can do 3 Gold, 2 Battle Records

[vast oak]

whatever this is

[earnest river]

do i get double trust if i have alter and og in the same squad

[hallow raft]

342 I see.

[hallow raft]

Wait, fr? I wasn't aware that was a thing.

[signal dragon]

would swap to 252

[paper swan]

What 4 stars are worth E2ing?

[fiery canopy]

ethan

[echo oasis]

Wait, how do you have a trading post in the middle instead of a power plant

[paper swan]

Wasn't there like a chart?

[vast oak]

changed it
you can do that by destroying a building and changing it

[echo oasis]

We can change it?

[stark gulch]

yes you can move around the facilities on the left as you want (barring power limitations)

[echo oasis]

[gloomy siren]

Guys, who should I e2 first? Virtousa or Lemuen?

[humble nova]

when is it okay to use the gold certs for headhunting permit?

[slim tusk]

lemuen

[acoustic condor]

Lemon

[vital kelp]

when u have more than 258

[neat cedar]

Is mechanist's shield dmg based or hit count based

[humble nova]

yeesh..

[fiery canopy]

50 hits

[neat cedar]

[fair geyser]

Tragodia is supporter?

[echo oasis]

What's the reason for it to be exactly 258 to use certs for pulls

[paper swan]

That's the entire pack

[echo oasis]

Wdym

[potent bloom]

Whats a good build for tactical drill LS-6? I can send a screenshot of the ops I have if it’ll help.

[paper swan]

It costs 258 gold certs to fully buy the entire thing before monthly reset

[surreal lily]

i have a question for RA if you run out of drinks and things to make drinks for what to do is the run dead

[slim tusk]

just hunt?

[maiden thunder]

Just wait for encounters to give them if u don't have any way to produce them in headquarters

[surreal lily]

yeah i just started and i need wood

[surreal lily]

so i just skip the day

[slim tusk]

early on you want to balance on hunting too before yo get rice field going on

[maiden thunder]

You can also buy meat from the shop to be turned into energy drinks

[abstract mauve]

i have 1 copy of chen magallan and suzuran. only notable 6* im missing are archetto and nightingale. yolo top op i assume?

[surreal lily]

im new and love this gamemode so much the way im seing it i should get wood first to make water pumps to upgrade base to get rice fields and trade

[fiery canopy]

ur playing on non peaceful right?

[surreal lily]

yeah

[surreal lily]

what's the diffrence does it not give rewards

[fiery canopy]

well peaceful is easier, no raids, and u have infinite energy drinks

[surreal lily]

oh so no

[fiery canopy]

peaceful still givesrewards

[potent bloom]

How can I unlock peaceful?

[surreal lily]

does it act as a practice mode

[fiery canopy]

u just select it before playing

[potent bloom]

Can’t ever get past day 10
