help

[chrome python]

Ye same thing.

[slim tusk]

how ope is summoner wis

[formal shadow]

its diff things since yget like a subclass of ops called summoners that can be run as a niche in its own right (https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Supporter/Summoner)
but good for ya

You mean lingknights :clueless:

[maiden plover]

Is silverash s3m3 worth doing? Or low prio? I have alot of main dps already so idk if it important anymore

[signal dragon]

if you use him yes

[formal shadow]

raidianknights smh

[slim tusk]

true summoner use sand reckoner

[chrome python]

Well ye but honestly that's just nitpicking, like for example mayer is berely even a summoner. I use her as a trapper cuz the explosions n shit

[formal shadow]

i heard some people use mayer s1 dodge

[chrome python]

So necrass is basically a summoner but she's not in the summoner class

[pale tapir]

yeah

[misty lintel]

exactly.

[chrome python]

The Devs selling

[pale tapir]

I mean there are only so many niches they can throw in before they start to overlap

[formal shadow]

True summoners use scene

[chrome python]

Do operators appear in the cert shop exactly 2 years after they release, or do they Start appearing. As in dont appear exactly 2 years but can appear

[formal shadow]

the latter

It's whatever yostar wants

[chrome python]

Scene is such a bum ngl

[slim tusk]

wtfart

[formal shadow]

:realmad:

[glossy pecan]

insane slander

[formal shadow]

back then she's like the only summoner whose summons can kill elites or something
jus need to play better and stop relying on ling

[chrome python]

Mayer is scene but cooler

[slim tusk]

okay

[formal shadow]

anyways which raidian module do people use

[chrome python]

You have raidian?

[white kraken]

Are there any good ops to use the 5* max level ticket on? Are there any unique utility/DPS that are better than 6*? I don't see the point in max leveling Tequila if I'll never use him over Mlynar. Maybe Ptilopsis or Shamare?

[pseudo flume]

La Pluma

[formal shadow]

shamare debuff isn't based on levels. wouldn't use that tix on er

[white kraken]

over executor alt? I think even Exe S1 AFK is better than either LaPluma skills

[slim tusk]

exe s1 stinks

but also you won't use pluma

[white kraken]

yeah, just quick calc but i think Exe alt S1 is better than laPluma S1 but not S2 but even that is close

[formal shadow]

I still have mine sitting. The problem is most of the 5*'s I have e2 I will almost never use or have already been leveled

[white kraken]

the only 5*s i use are like the agents and Ptlopsis which all dont really benefit from levels

[formal shadow]

keep so you can flex

My 5* rats are already leveled

[copper oracle]

exe s1 > pluma s1

[copper oracle]

just pick ur waifu icl

5 star dps stinks
u use 5 star util units but util units generally dont need lvs so lol

[arctic salmon]

So I unlocked auto deploy on BP5 event

But when I auto, it gives me 2 stars why?

[formal shadow]

unstable auto probably

[pale tapir]

likely leaked one
were you just barely able to clear or were you comfortably clearing?

[formal shadow]

astute observation

[normal barn]

With what command or site do I check farm efficiency im not sure if I should farm 1-7 or event stage

[formal shadow]

/eventfarm

[fathom sparrow]

i just came back to the game during the exu alter and lemmy banners, between Lumen and Shining who should i level?

[formal shadow]

can i say neither

[pale tapir]

do u have silence or ptilopsis or sussurro
they're probably better investments than those two
silence offers very flexible heal range with good uptime and sussurro has solid heal per attack
I don't have ptilo so I won't comment on her but she's good

[fathom sparrow]

i have them yes

[forest quest]

chat does phantom's clone have the same deployment cost as Phantom himself? Is his dupe worth anything?

[arctic salmon]

Needs some rng

[copper oracle]

p4 good for rdp

[shadow bay]

no way my phantom p6 hold value now 🥹

[formal shadow]

[nocturne pine]

Is Vulpisfoglia worth it to build?

[sweet warren]

Is it possible for maybe some best comp available to keep up in gold > TP with droning proviso and having two Exp on factory.
Kinda need both.

[undone portal]

decent if you need another vanguard who can actually fight and ines alone isnt enough

[dusk sand]

How do I unlock the 3rd unit for my friend support page?

[pale tapir]

reception room lv3
yeah it's unnecessary and takes away from base production

[slim tusk]

up the reception room don't

[nocturne pine]

This is my team. Should I replace anyone with her?

[dusk sand]

ah alr

[undone portal]

grace can go

i would advise against leaving 6stars at e1max unless youre also planning to e2 them asap

[nocturne pine]

I am. My next 2 are Lumen and Texalter to E2

I was going to E2 Thorns as well, but people have said he's not worth it (The only reason I'm E2ing Lumen is because I super like him) So he ended up being at E1 lv80

[humble nova]

Based

[worn trellis]

Hi, can i get some broken combo suggestions for archetto IS module

[eager oak]

Underflow, she is a baddies. But is it worth it to spend 1000 sanity to farm the stage and max her out?

[spare jetty]

use offrec skills

[nocturne pine]

From the pin suggestions, I would assume not

[pale tapir]

you can get her pot6 sanity-free next year when event goes into record restoration
so unless you need pot6 now just save your sanity

[worn trellis]

Whats "offrec"

[spare jetty]

chetto comp recommend was never a thing

[eager oak]

thank you, just saw the pin comment

[spare jetty]

skills that only recharge every attack

[sweet warren]

#genuinelyasking

[spare jetty]

like wis s1

[worn trellis]

Offensive recovery? Yeah ik thats the niche. But what are some good ops to go with her, pretty sure some are better than the other

[spare jetty]

i dont know

[undone portal]

hoederer/mon3tr/sakiko are the main archetto teammates. lemuens decent

[spare jetty]

this comp is for fun only

[cold lion]

is executor shoperator good if I have exu?

[spare jetty]

no

[undone portal]

running 3gold should be enough to consistently keep up with proviso droning as long as youre running the usual 30% generics or better. just pick up gold from greencert shop tier1 and credits as they come up

[cold lion]

so bad? are ammo chars good with exu because of the coordinated attack thing?

[undone portal]

gold workers with better than 30% are all 5/6stars that require e2, so you should have another reason beyond proviso to build them. this would include thornsalt/bryophyta/waaifu/aroma

[worn trellis]

Does hoolheyak upcoming IS mod synergies witn Ange IS mod? Cz yknow -weight = more levitate? No?

[undone portal]

the synergy is there, but dropping hope on ho'olheyak and having to intentionally leak something to activate her levitate is going too far out of your way when normal strats work better

[spare jetty]

absolutely garbage

[undone portal]

exu talent is rng reliant and honestly not that big of a damage boost usually. you only bring other ammo ops with her if they would already be useful on their own

[sour tide]

is she good?

[livid lark]

Should I e2 Ulpianus if I don't have any guards e2?

[spare jetty]

cmon i dont want to leak when i only have 1 lp

[proven kelp]

Ange can already reduce enemies weight, why bother

[spice nexus]

Hey so Saga S2
It says deals damage, then eliminates dying enemies
It means she kills the enemies wounded by the skill itself, potentially generating SP for her, right?

[nimble kite]

BRUH.
SHE JUST ANNOUNCED. **NOT EVEN RELEASED. **

[undone portal]

ho'ol gives you a free objective shield to leak with but like why are you fucking around and letting something leak in the first place

[sweet warren]

Even with office lv3?

[undone portal]

? what does office have to do with it

[spice nexus]

I'm running proviso droning and 3 golds produce faster than I can fraud-sell them

[pale tapir]

damn bro chill out

[turbid ocean]

A reminder for everyone now that we are allowed to talk about the newest operators (I'm looking at you Dest)
Unanswerable questions such as “should I pull for Nasti” or “does Nasti powercreep X” do not belong in this channel until there is a way to answer them (The event releases).
For now questions that can be answered such as “what archetype is Nasti” or "what Nasti skills do" are fine
Any lore talks about the new operators are also strictly banned outside of ⁠#ak-lore

[worn trellis]

What can i do (cope) with dusk IS module, FRD?

[undone portal]

yea, frd is the best way to spam freelings

[worn trellis]

What does swire IS mod do exactly? Idek how the normal coin work to begin with, tldr?

[sweet warren]

This is what I use on Gold Factory. What went wrong

[spare jetty]

lmao light u still pulls dest up to this point
bro isnt even checking on here regularly anymore

[paper tinsel]

The myth the legend mister light!!

[undone portal]

your fac3 is filled with exp workers

unless youre also running everyone who can provide perception information, rosmontis isnt worth using
waaifu needs her coworkers to reach 40% on their own to provide 40% herself, so put her on a 3worker team

[grave hare]

lemuen mastery?

[undone portal]

that looks better, though i would move ptilo over to work with silence/dorothy

the best way to check if your specialized teams are good is to just check their production % directly. if theyre doing worse than just running 30% workers, then dont bother

[nimble kite]

"Precious Metals"
FEater, FrostLeaf and Vigna inside

WTF

[undone portal]

already addressed that bengal

[nimble kite]

I wanna do it again.

[lavish monolith]

This is still wrong lol. Scene verm and pallas wont work on gold

[ornate sable]

Guys. How does Dormitory actually works? I keep finding myself have to stop some operators from working and make them rest.

[sweet warren]

My bad G

[undone portal]

pallas is an exp worker

[lavish monolith]

Waste 2nd skill smh

[nimble kite]

You put ops there
They recover Morale bar
You return them to work

[undone portal]

dormitory lets them rest so you can send them back to work later
they dont refresh immediately, give them time

[nimble kite]

Usually without any Morale modifications, they work strictly 24h

After that, they become Exhausted and lose their skill effect, only basic 5% of efficiency will work from that.

[sweet warren]

Alright. I changed to this.

[slim tusk]

what is that cursed bubble comp?

[formal shadow]

Cursed bubble comp is running bubble in the first place :clueless:

[sweet warren]

It's bad?

[undone portal]

go check #r-i-i-c pins, theres a spreadsheet by phlegyas on working base combos

[slim tusk]

bad literally need e2 vulcan to be better than usual 30% x 3

[lavish monolith]

Assuming your byro is E2.
Just pair him + 2 gold workers then stagger him.
4 ops can maintain a single tp fac instead of 6.

Then you can use the universal team rhinelab/highmore for other things. Preferable lvl2 fac or 2nd rotation for lvl3 fac. (Anything beside rosmo- waaifu, dont change this)

[gilded mango]

how does it work in arknights? how often do we get new characters?

[nimble kite]

What is "it" you are referring to?
We usually get at least one or two characters in a month.

[gilded mango]

the character releases in ak

[nimble kite]

Like you will actually get and build them, lol.

[cursive maple]

every month

[restive crown]

I'm assuming auto-deploy doesn't satisfy module conditions? Like I gotta do 5 battles while deploying an op four times, but I guess I gotta do them one by one

[nimble kite]

Should satisfy.

Only Practice Mode and RA/IS won't.

[restive crown]

That's interesting, gotcha

[nimble kite]

Or you're talking about Multi Auto and it just recognizes one run instead of 5x?

[frail ivy]

this is the cutest skin iv seen in a while, when is this gonna release

[restive crown]

What's RA by the way?

[nimble kite]

Reclamation Algorithm (Sandbox Mode).

[restive crown]

I don't even know how to explain what I was asking but I tested it and it worked lmao & ahh Sandbox looked complicated to me so I gave up

[opaque turret]

who do i replace melantha with?

[nimble kite]

Lappy Ig.

[real scaffold]

what was nasti archetype

[lavish monolith]

The TARA faction. Isnt that supposed to be a Dublin? Did they change it?

[nimble kite]

Yes, prior from Eblana event.

[lavish monolith]

Ah.. as expected.
Anything else changed?

[real scaffold]

tara currently lead by reed

[nimble kite]

Artificer.
Aka Stainless one using shitty devices.

[nimble kite]

No.

[sweet warren]

I have Vulcan E2 now.
Is Ceobe Bubble Vulcan correct comp?
Or is it beanstalk

[slim tusk]

sure

[sweet warren]

Alright

[sweet warren]

Anyway what's with Rosmontis Waaifu combination. Idk exactly how it's works but requirement looks kinda ass to trigger

Should I just replace them with 30% or 25% on my two people factory

[slim tusk]

waaifu is pretty easy to trigger on lv 3 fac
for lv2 she'll need specific op

[formal shadow]

aroma

[spark matrix]

does this mean 6 of my slots are taken (3 caster and 3 specialist)

[slim tusk]

total 3 in any combination

[spark matrix]

oo

[cursive maple]

6+ months

[spark matrix]

i almost did this, thanks

[cursive maple]

nice

[ancient lintel]

wait new operator?

[cursive maple]

watch pv

[shadow bay]

surely its not gonna be another stainless

[formal shadow]

hey guys should i pull nasti

[cursive maple]

#help message

[white kraken]

Top Op slow AOE. Should I 50/50 suzuran or Ifrit or just yolo tagless?

[formal shadow]

suzu

[spark matrix]

can i redeploy or does it have to be diff ops

[white kraken]

When was the last time Suzu was used? Any recent CC or IS usages?

[turbid ocean]

Uh well thing about generally good util operators like Suzu
even if they aren't used in the meta/best clear of things

[slim tusk]

underdawn

[turbid ocean]

They are still strong supplements

You can probably stick Suzu into any comp to help clear things if you're missing something

[hot scarab]

What is Stainless main skill that ppl use? I only use him as sp battery w S2

[turbid ocean]

Yeah it really does depend why you are bringing him...

Hes not really generally used so when you bring him you have a specific purpose

[real scaffold]

its between atk buffer or sp

[hot scarab]

Does S1 and S3 make him a DPS?

[turbid ocean]

Errrr kind of...?

S3 that is

S1 is mostly just buffing allies

[slim tusk]

s1 for buff army,s3 if you want uh dps ig also has hidden dr
s2 is the least useful

[turbid ocean]

Not too sure about the nuances actually, ill let someone else explain
Ive seen S3 used for SP more than S2 -- for offensive recovery

[undone portal]

do we know which element cairn works with yet?

[hexed adder]

The dude himself not dps tho

[turbid ocean]

Wouldn't build stainless unless just want to meme

[robust arch]

did the pv give no hint as to what nasti does or am i missing smth

[turbid ocean]

Many such cases

Wait for more details to come out

[undone portal]

this pv felt particularly devoid of any clips that give us a proper idea of what the new ops do. theres usually at least something to guess off of

[hexed adder]

This time pv just dope

[forest quest]

what is the new Ray module? is it for IS?

[robust arch]

its a hunter mod y, the first of its kind
so no one knows what it might do

[forest quest]

😭 ok not IS module

[fluid egret]

just wondering are these worth it? is there some green cert efficacy document?

[hexed adder]

Its scam

T1 t2 pulls mostly, if u value pull. ignore t3. A bit mats also fine u have big surplus and very need of it

[austere plaza]

should i pull on any banner right now? If not, which do i pull on in the future?

[robust thistle]

Banner priority in pins

[normal onyx]

I have come to ask for help, but they have advised me that people around here are crazy...

[shadow bay]

#arknights this way sir

[austere plaza]

thanks

[normal onyx]

Oh, I came from there. Shouldn't be much worse

Anyways, can someone advise me on what to pick?

[formal shadow]

:clueless:

[robust thistle]

Dont post unnecessary media here
Selector guide in pins

[shadow bay]

pins for voucher to use

[formal shadow]

silence lappland

[normal onyx]

Joined today and have no idea on what I'm doing

[formal shadow]

next customer please

[normal onyx]

Arigatou gozaimasu

Oh, is there anyone with such a BIG range like Firewatch?

[robust thistle]

Yes but theyre bad except the limited ones

[normal onyx]

Oh...

[formal shadow]

i dunno man lemuen is pretty good
but then you aint likely to get er yeah

[normal onyx]

Btw, in the normal channel, someone also recommended Specter. Is it to be considered?

[robust thistle]

No

[formal shadow]

she's ehhhhh

[robust thistle]

If you ask here, just follow the pinned guides

[normal onyx]

Thank you everyone

[maiden plover]

fia grandpa what main skill?

[fiery canopy]

3

[nocturne pine]

How much does the stage 5 of the red cert level give you?

[robust thistle]

like 20ish

[pine plover]

21 point something average

[undone portal]

am i missing something or is nasti deployed on ranged tiles in this pv

[pine plover]

the tiles look unclear tbh

i think it's just the design of the groubd tiles look ...well

[undone portal]

actually it looks like both cairn/skybox are getting on the same tile type too this event might be entirely open with tile restrictions

[nocturne pine]

Oh 💀 I was hoping it would give like 50 so I could get the 5 stars in the red cert shop to collect the gold certs

[shadow bay]

the tile looks confusing yeh
probably its gonna be another chong event mechanics??? who knows

[undone portal]

unless skybreaker snipers are ground units? we'll have to see

[robust thistle]

you can 'lift' tiles with the balloons

[pine plover]

the low ground tiles are black with cyan neon railing

[nocturne pine]

But I think 135k stamina will be used better elsewhere haha

[pine plover]

the stages look like set in the sky

[formal shadow]

135k? that's a lot duncha think

[pine plover]

farming event is better tbh

[hexed adder]

135k...

[undone portal]

ap-6

[austere plaza]

what limited operators are coming next that i should pull on?

[fiery canopy]

hoshialt

[nimble kite]

HoshiAlter on Winter, Sakiko on late Winter-early Spring nearby too and SilverAlter somewhere late Spring and that's all I can say for not hardly violated Rule 5.

All three are just good to have, but never must-have.

[lone valley]

[jagged gust]

I don't think future banner info is hacks or cheats, so u should be fine... there's even a command on it on #bot-spam

[dire hatch]

Who's better in the upcoming limited banner Hoshi or the idol girl?

[lone valley]

Hoshi is
But haruka is great too

[nocturne pine]

Yes, that's why I was asking the amount haha

[lone valley]

Its not about "cheats"
We only have the cn order of the banners, but no dates
Speculating dates is against the rules

[cinder hearth]

Technically we're also not allowed to speculate what's in future banners too no.
I got shut down for speculating Yatoalt was gonna be MH2 given how R6S rerun worked.

[lone valley]

Thats different bro

[pale scaffold]

bought the event shop, keep farming sugar or progress in story

25 sugar packs

[copper oracle]

where r u in story

[pale scaffold]

13-2

[copper oracle]

i would farm till 50 sugar first

[cinder hearth]

Yeah it's unreleased+unannounced banners in this case, just trivia ig.

If you're done with everything in the shop, I'd still keep working on sugar farming til 50.

[pale scaffold]

k

[copper oracle]

sugar not used a lot but still nice to have a bit

story aint going away but sugar stage is so 🚬

[pale scaffold]

and crystalline component?

had 57

[copper oracle]

8-11 more efficient

[pale scaffold]

yh but i only have like 5 manganese lmao

[cinder hearth]

Again I'm going to call this into question because manganese value.

[copper oracle]

get managese from sugar farming then

[pale scaffold]

that should be around 20 manganese

[cinder hearth]

The problem is efficiency is calculated using infinite LMD for event currency value.

[copper oracle]

yes i know

[cinder hearth]

And I don't think anyone has done a recalc for manga value yet.

[copper oracle]

manganese value will drop to 0 like how kohl value dropped to 0

cos technically kohl event stage is more efficient than story kohl stage but will u ever recommend farming kohl?

[pale scaffold]

what's a good amount of crystal to hold though, if it's like 70 i will consider farming some more

[cinder hearth]

How much do you have anyways.

[pale scaffold]

57

[copper oracle]

ive been using more crystaline lately so i stock around 100 now

[cinder hearth]

Honestly 50+ should be fine imo given if need be and his planner crystalline needs explode, I'd say he can farm some during Leizi event.

[pale scaffold]

ill see if the event still there after i farm sugar cuz no sanity currently

[cinder hearth]

On the bright side, sugar droprate is pretty good. The sugar farm should be quick.

[sonic crypt]

btw is the Ulpi banner bug still there or fixed

[cinder hearth]

Still will drop mizuki and co, checking drop pool description.

Honestly think they don't even plan to fix it this banner.

[sonic crypt]

I mean, the damage is done, so they probably patch next banner

[copper oracle]

mizuki and gnosis are better than most offrate 6 stars anyway 🚬

[nocturne pine]

When units go into the Kernel banner, do they go into recruitment as well?

[cinder hearth]

I cast offrate Saileach

Actually wait looking at it, fartooth is listed.
Offrate Fartooth lives

[cinder hearth]

Nope. ie, Kal'tsit is kernel, but not recruitable.

Kal will become recruitable roughly around the Silverash/Pramanix Alter banner

[shadow bay]

eyja still waiting to be in recruitment 🥹

[copper oracle]

my sail is 1 pot away from being good so i would want that lol

[cinder hearth]

She got lost on the way and because she's blind and deaf she can't do shit.

[cinder hearth]

I hate you

On a serious note, what does the extra pot do for you?

[iron bloom]

Any upcoming banners I should reroll on?

[cinder hearth]

Check pins, upcoming banner priorities

If you want to reroll try for the high priority ones. But arguably it may be better to just play normally now, and farm up pulls for those events.

[thorny edge]

probs for the -1 dp

[cinder hearth]

Would be a bit surprised if it isn't pot5 for some niche relicless attack timing, but sure that sounds reasonable.

[copper oracle]

-1 dp

[thorny edge]

:p

[cinder hearth]

I'm a bit surprised. How vanilla.

[median fable]

which modules got announced with update?

[copper oracle]

its cos shes p5 already

[pallid cloak]

Chain med

[copper oracle]

ray 2nd mod

m3 truthers rise up she will be goated trust

[pale scaffold]

wat ray 2nd mod do

[copper oracle]

its not out yet so no clue

[cinder hearth]

Nasti and Ray too

[pale scaffold]

chain med mod also not out yet?

[cinder hearth]

Literally just announced bruh

[pallid cloak]

They just got announce

It gonna take at least 5-6 days for details

[pale scaffold]

alr waiting game

[pallid cloak]

And we wont exactly know how good theyre until its in game when event starts

[cinder hearth]

Base effect probably weakens the healing loss per bounce, ie 25% > 10%.

[lone valley]

Maybe it will ban you instead

[cinder hearth]

Real and true

[pale scaffold]

or maybe another bounce?

[white kraken]

what do artificers do? is there only stainless as a 6*?

[formal shadow]

buffs

[cinder hearth]

Either way, will likely be good for Mon3tr, arbitrary on the other medics.

[cinder hearth]

Devices for buffs

[lone valley]

They do random things, usualy buffs
And ye he is the only 6* rn, soon theres 2
Been a long time

[pale scaffold]

would be crazy if it removes the healing loss penalty like chain caster mod

[lone valley]

It wouldnt really do lot for monster

[copper oracle]

stainless buffs ops

he can also look cute on field

[lone valley]

[median fable]

[white kraken]

i guess we'll see how hg cooks. not sure how good a buffer can be but then again exu2 and mon3tr are geeks and chain medics so subclasses dont dictate anything

[cinder hearth]

Now that I'm thinking about it, m3 has a really weird pot order.
Her final pot is a 2nd talent buff instead of a -1,dp

[languid swallow]

Wtf does a skybreaker do

[copper oracle]

no info

[cinder hearth]

Breaks the sky

[median fable]

they break the sky

[languid swallow]

Kristen already did that

[cinder hearth]

Project Moon reference

[languid swallow]

Pm sleeper agents desperately holding back

[lone valley]

[white kraken]

what subclass is the defender?

[copper oracle]

primal

[formal shadow]

primal like yu

[languid swallow]

Primal
Like philae

[white kraken]

do we know the element?

[copper oracle]

most likely nervous

[cinder hearth]

NI again most likely

[languid swallow]

I was also thinking that

[copper oracle]

i mean theres already necrosis and burn so nervous is the only one without it

[languid swallow]

And then theres Nasti with her little toys

[cinder hearth]

It seems like they've actually put some effort into creating a non limited NI ecosystem after the disasters that were necrosis and burn ecosystems.

[languid swallow]

Disorder mechanic when

[copper oracle]

no hoyoslopping here xinbruh

[languid swallow]

😔

[white kraken]

whats wrong with the other ones? global burn and logos necrosis have been pretty good

[copper oracle]

global burn isnt good 👍

logos necrosis team: logos, his skill 3, his module

[cinder hearth]

Hoyoslop goes to #mod-only-endfield-lounge

Necrosis and Burn's biggest enablers for actual elemental DPS are both limited ops. They are the end all be all of getting the ecosystem to be functional, and the ops that work with each them for elemental focused DPS are extremely low. And then fuckass Logos exists as a self sufficient necrosis ecosystem separate of all the other losers, and able to do more than them.

How to unlock this I thought I just need to win stage 9-2

[cinder hearth]

S9-2

[formal shadow]

isn't it s9-2 which is a different stage that branches out from 9-13 or something

[chrome prawn]

Huh

[cinder hearth]

Correct, it's a 9-13 branch.

[copper oracle]

S9-2 is not 9-2

[chrome prawn]

Ohhh dang it I'm not that far into the story

[cinder hearth]

S stages are totally independent of regular stages. They exist basically as a side branch.

[chrome prawn]

Ooo

[cinder hearth]

Well not totally, as noted S9 branches from 9-13. But you get the point: 9-2 isn't S9-2.

Beat 9-13, S9-1, then S9-2 to unlock it. If you have the sanity shouldn't take too long-ch9 if I remember isn't overly wordy and the story stages were simple enough.

[gleaming sigil]

who to e2 first, tragodia or ulpianus?

[formal shadow]

i'd say ulpianus

[gleaming sigil]

thank you!

[copper oracle]

e1 trag first then e2 ulp

ulp needs e2 cos hes unusable dogshit at e1

[cinder hearth]

*Ulpi unlocks s3 at e2 which is by far his better skill, along with talent unlocks/improvements.

Tragodia wants his s2 which unlocks at e1

[rain forge]

is it a good decision to prefarm e2 mats for an operator that you're planning on pulling in the future

[fathom nest]

Sure?

[fiery canopy]

surely u have enough pulls to confidently get them though

[nimble kite]

Ofc it's better rather than raging about like you have no Chips and Chips Stage is locked until tomorrow, like majority of players doing.

[proven kelp]

Just buy the 2 buck chip pack smh

[rain forge]

ive got like 90 pulls rn
ill probably be able to get like 90-100 more by the time she comes

also uh how hard is chapter 15 until 15-9

[fiery canopy]

easy

[rain forge]

oh alr

[cyan vault]

Will this end the run or leave me at 1 hp

[rain forge]

when does path of life's rerun end again

[turbid ocean]

Take the kings collectibles they're very strong
You go to 1 hp

[cyan vault]

Thnx

[turbid ocean]

Any time it takes HP from you, you never go below 1

[pale tapir]

game says 7 days

[turbid ocean]

Its always in the pins

[rain forge]

oh alr

[nimble kite]

No.
Will be especially effective, if you enter this Encounter in 1 HP already.

[glacial siren]

is orundum farming good?

[olive seal]

so in 7 days we get leizi alter ?

[proven kelp]

Considering you are asking, then no

[humble arrow]

Orundum farming is inefficient but you get orundum so

[glacial siren]

[nimble kite]

No confirmation about it.

[fiery canopy]

technically first clearing stages is orundum farming

[rain forge]

sometime between now and the heat death of the universe

[glacial siren]

its like 1 sanity=1 orundum right?
sanity used on 1-7 ofc

[humble arrow]

Its like approx 3 days of sanity for 1 pull

[proven kelp]

Lmao if only its 1 sanity per orumdum

[humble arrow]

Not counting lmd sanity

is leizi normal a caster or vanguard?

[glacial siren]

ive got 6.5 mil already so dont need to

[fathom nest]

It takes 96k for 1 pull

[glacial siren]

say i farmed orundum for a month with all sanity going to 1-7
how much orundum can i get by the end of it

[nimble kite]

Are you sure you didn't missed her with Reed?

[livid dawn]

I saw a PeterYR video where he calculated the cost at 860 sanity for one pull. I think he included the sanity value of the LMD and drones used in producing orundum too, not just the 1-7 farming

[humble arrow]

im trying to find leizi to trust farm but cant find her

[glacial siren]

shes caster and u may not have her ig

[humble arrow]

it seems I dont have leizi

[proven kelp]

Around 14 pulls

[cinder hearth]

She's a kernel chain caster these days.

[humble arrow]

he did

[cinder hearth]

Tldr get a j*b and buy $5 monthly card instead

[proven kelp]

Just do both!

[humble arrow]

what if they bought it and is using the sanity pots for 1-7

[visual hinge]

Narantuya s1 or s3

[fiery canopy]

3

[cinder hearth]

S3. S1 is just afk slop.

[livid dawn]

both, mainly S3 though if you got to choose

[fiery canopy]

s2 for peak 1-7 technologies

[cinder hearth]

S2 only needs sl7 for 1-7 optimal

It does have some niche usage but it's exactly that, niche. Also very replaceable.

[humble arrow]

does crownslayer s3 make her immune to status conditions

can she be frozen or get stunned from impairment

does she get full I frames or is there a deploy frame where she can die?

[gaunt vapor]

If we getting Hoshi alt around January ? How far are Mujica Ave away from Hoshi alt banner ? Need to see how many pulls I need to save/buy

[visual hinge]

I don’t even farm 1-7

[livid dawn]

mujica event was around a month after hoshi event in CN... that's about all I can really say without speculating

[glacial siren]

What banners were between hoshi2 and ave muj?

[cinder hearth]

She gets all the usual invisible perks. A lot of environment DoT effects will hit her and invis reveal works too.

[humble arrow]

so is it wisadel or ines level

[livid dawn]

there was a joint ops on CN, no guarantee our order will be exactly the same as that tho

[humble arrow]

not sure how camo and invis works

[cinder hearth]

Wis'adel is camo, you doof.

[glacial siren]

No i meant new ops myb

[livid dawn]

none

[glacial siren]

Nice when is mantra then

[livid dawn]

was around a month after Ave Mujica on CN

[cinder hearth]

Main difference is enemies essentially cannot even indirectly target CS or Ines while in invis state, vs Wis still being hit by splash.

Also, this is available on the wiki, top result if you look up camo arknights or invis arknights.

[stark shard]

Does anyone here have s3 m3 monster. Can I borrow it

[copper oracle]

can someone check how much hp the jellies have in tn-4 ultimate

[analog fog]

should I pull for leizialter or save for hoshialter i dont have mylnar

[cinder hearth]

Izumik's Offspring have 1500 DEF and 60 RES.
Looks like HP stays at 20000. Which makes sense based on my experience, Tragodia burst knocked off like 1/3 of their HP which is roughly proportional to 20000.

[gleaming sigil]

is leonhardt a decent upgrade over lava?

[slim tusk]

he is better than lava but splash sucks

so just take the cheapest and ditch them later

[cinder hearth]

He technically is better but in the same way skadi is better than flamebringer or melantha.

[gleaming sigil]

what do i replace them with?

[vivid yew]

Is Ceobe still worth to raise? If yes, which module is the best for her?

[slim tusk]

iuno better aoe or better dps

[cinder hearth]

She's mainly a CC/IS niche raise these days. ModX lv3 is the choice-the one that increases her damage proportional to DEF talent.

[nimble kite]

Not a big deal actually, but will be appreciated if you hunt a high-DEF target.

Le Baggete Lv3 module, plz.
"Dry Bread" 🥖

[cinder hearth]

Really Dry Bread

Ceobe speaks in Modifier, Adjective, Noun. Most the time.

[vivid yew]

Alright, only 3 operators left

[fiery canopy]

is she stupid

[gleaming sigil]

who are some aoe options i should look out for? (sorry for all the questions)

[cinder hearth]

Really not sure.

I forgor'ed to read her story

[cinder hearth]

Wis'adel, Logos for multitarget, etc

[slim tusk]

really depends on what you have or gacha luck
i'm not mentioning dozens unit

[cinder hearth]

You know, good multitarget DPS ops. The usual.

[steady tusk]

tragoatia counts with the cat

[cinder hearth]

Tragodia known aoe DPS

[gleaming sigil]

okie dokie thank you!

[steady tusk]

it is funny that most of the good aoe options are in single target subbranches

[humble arrow]

sure dm me

[grim niche]

anyone know where i can find what they're selling in the stores during Ato?

[humble arrow]

wiki has it i think

[cinder hearth]

Krooster planner is another easy way to get a visual idea.

[grim niche]

i tried it, it's like the only event in there without a store section

[steady tusk]

en likes to mirror cn stores, but as per usuall no guarantees/speculation here

[stark shard]

Check the dm

[frank wing]

do we know what the new sniper archetype does?

[cinder hearth]

No

[steady tusk]

https://prts.wiki/w/墟

[grim niche]

oh wow thanks

[fiery canopy]

*true aoe dps

[proven kelp]

No, it is just aoe dps

True aoe refers to a different tye of units

[cinder hearth]

True AoE is an RA player self-report. /s

[wind storm]

Is bp-7 worth it now?

[cinder hearth]

No

[wind storm]

So pepsi bottles or sugar?

[formal shadow]

rock

[cinder hearth]

Sugar

[formal shadow]

also isn't your name a bit outdated

[wind storm]

Sry i was offline

[formal shadow]

np

just keep it until- hey wait there are no new meta!

[cinder hearth]

Pepsi bottle stage efficiency is theoretically lower than R8-11 due to efficiency math not accounting for manganese, but it's still lower than sugar regardless of how you consider it.

[wind storm]

So sugar or rocc?

[cinder hearth]

Rock stage is kinda ass last I checked.

[wind storm]

Alr so sugar

[shadow bay]

dumb question

can kafka sleep and cancel low hovering enemies?

[cinder hearth]

It says ground enemies explicitly so my guess is no.

[neat mirage]

whats monthly pull income again

[tidal pond]

I got a free temporary saga for is5, S1 or 2 if I already have courier and myrtle?

[cinder hearth]

Low altitude treats ground enemies as aerial so.

[shadow bay]

saga also uses s2 even in e2

so yeh prepare that fingers of yours

[pallid cloak]

Around 30/months not counting OP from events

[neat mirage]

real

[shadow bay]

ahhh ig thats obvious but i wanna cope ig... tnx

[vocal ferry]

is mod 1 enough for ulpi?

[limpid sorrel]

hi guys~ jw if you guys have moduled any 5* units- im leaning towards lappland and kazemaru cuz I use them a lot in is but I would like to hear other suggestions maybe Im missing someone that'd be better

[safe lily]

Is guard top op, and melee the best combo I can do here?

[fiery canopy]

id go yolo top op

[cinder hearth]

Should be fine. Mod2/3 benefits only really s2, and only for niche scenarios involving s2.

[cinder hearth]

#friend-id and search for lappland.

[vocal ferry]

alright thanks, i think i should also wait for the second mod

[safe lily]

Ngl I kinda want mountain or surtr. My SA ain't e2 yet so I have no decent guard rn, just lappland and tequila

[queen ridge]

how do i farm lmd very very fast aside from cargo escort

[robust thistle]

Build your base

[safe lily]

Invest in base

[nimble kite]

You don't do CE stages! Stooop!

[safe lily]

And farm current events

[queen ridge]

i need lmd
i also maxed by base
finished path of life

[robust thistle]

Yes build your base

[nimble kite]

IS at your disposal.

[safe lily]

Frick, I got skadi

[vocal ferry]

you can try your luck with guard/melee if that is what you want

[robust thistle]

If your base is maxed then something is wrong with your base if youre farming CE

[lunar apex]

did u do IS and RA ?

[queen ridge]

i do is but dont do ra

[humble arrow]

You can do RA

[safe lily]

Skadi ain't really that useful rn eh?

[lunar apex]

RA gives u alot of lmd

[robust thistle]

Shes never useful

[queen ridge]

ill try it alright

[safe lily]

Man, that top op just basically gave me 1 yellow cert

[vocal ferry]

yep

[nimble kite]

When new op - always 1 Gold Cert, regardless of rarity.

[shadow bay]

wdym skadi is so tanky and can do shit.... in AH

[wheat flare]

skadi 38dp fast redeploy in RA

[bitter citrus]

Who should I get in the top operator permit

[white kraken]

Is Torch an IS exclusive op? Would she be better than Ptilopsis if she were a standard op? 3sp per heal on two targets seems pretty good and easy on someone like Exu2

[craggy quiver]

so once Event shop is empty, grinding Event Stage isnt worth it anymore?
(i have Underflow potentials left, but i wasnt around during the OG event)

[turbid ocean]

Uh the pots aren't worth it

You can farm BP-6 for the most part if you are at anything less than 200 sugar

and the currency goes to Manganese or Kohl if you happen to be low on them

Apparently the Crystaline on BP-5 is less efficient to farm than directly in story

[craggy quiver]

... 200? 👀 lmao i have 18 on stock

[turbid ocean]

💀

get to farming

[lunar apex]

Yknow what to do

[turbid ocean]

The farm stages tend to be a bigger focus for long term players

than the shops

[craggy quiver]

baby account, im low on stock for about everything 😆

[turbid ocean]

Don't farm BP-7

Farm BP-6 and some BP-5

BP-5 if low on kohl/manganese else you can just do BP-5

[craggy quiver]

ye bc the BP-7 mat i can just buy in the event shop so it looks simple enough to grab

i'd guess 25 Kohl/Manganese you'd also call low on stock? 😆

[turbid ocean]

Its not very high

[craggy quiver]

i do wonder what i need all this sugar for, though
i do know some people are crazy about rocks

[turbid ocean]

Its not about right now

Its about building up that stock

As you get operators they will consume it, and not sure when the next time you can prioritize farming sugar is

Backlogs of mats are built over the course of time, singular material at a time

[craggy quiver]

ah its moreso a "farming sugar is a lot less acessable otherwise"

[turbid ocean]

You reach a point of being able to build whatever you like immediately after a while

Sugar isn't something crazy demand

But you may still run out of it

[cinder hearth]

The issue is basically, we don't know when material farms rerun.

[turbid ocean]

Well we do because we have CN foresight

[cinder hearth]

If it's not in the next 6 months we have no foresight is what I mean.

[turbid ocean]

Theres almost always some higher demand material

[cinder hearth]

And then some mats naturally are in demand.

[craggy quiver]

hmhmhm nods

[turbid ocean]

#bot-spam /cnfarm to see upcoming event farm stages

[cinder hearth]

ie, crystalline component demand has honestly been ramping a bit, some future operators need it to be built. And there is no other event with farmable crystalline for at least 6 months.

[nimble kite]

Yes, you cannot get it elsewhere.

And she's just normal strong single medic, that's all.
Would prioritize my 6☆ if I were you.

[turbid ocean]

Well technically its worse than R8-11 I think they'll have crazy supply of mango/kohl anyways

[cinder hearth]

Touch is IS exclusive and her talent is essentially a 6* grade one.

[turbid ocean]

Think its just better to only do sugar

Touch can show up in SSS and Icebreaker game

[cinder hearth]

It's worse before including the fact manganese is still more valuable than, uh, 20 LMD per 1 event currency.

[craggy quiver]

btw, 7 events in 6 months? :o

[cinder hearth]

Which is obviously gonna drag event currency value down just a slight amount in the efficiency calculations.

[turbid ocean]

Uh that seems normal

Some are reruns

Some are ongoing right now

One of the events already passed

Reruns like the current one are short only 10 days

[craggy quiver]

hm, i need to find time to not run events to promote my ops sometime 😆

[cinder hearth]

Leizi Alter event is your chance. Vignette events let you farm supply stages and still earn event currency.

[turbid ocean]

And vignette event drop rates aren't particularly great

[muted perch]

anyone with Eyjafjalla the Hvít Aska free right now to add friend. really needed badly for IS mizuki TwT

[cinder hearth]

Now as for when that event comes, we have no clue. The problem is the expected approximate summer event is within the next month, so Leizi would need to fit a pretty tight schedule.

[slim tusk]

you don't need eyja for is3 and starting with one is cursed

[lunar apex]

I dont even play IS3 with wandering medic

[cinder hearth]

Eyja alter start is a horrendous opener.

Just borrow Wis'adel and call it a day if you need a brute-force clear.

[nimble kite]

That's poor move. You don't use Wandering Medics there.

[muted perch]

I have a defender and a medic voucher and I wanna try it. im running IS2 10surging waves

[nimble kite]

Especially high-diff, enemies will still one hit procc the effect and make those medics fucking obsolete.

[turbid ocean]

Errr we usually call Mizuki IS3 by the way

[nimble kite]

They practically worthless.

[turbid ocean]

IS1 was a temporary event

[cinder hearth]

A medic voucher mid run doesn't get affected by friend ops.

[turbid ocean]

And yes the elemental damage isn't supposed to be remedied

[muted perch]

its the initial

[humble arrow]

The running flower will stun you anyways

[turbid ocean]

Would suggest you try just grab free hope operators and hold your hope

[muted perch]

ill just figure this out TwT thanks everyone

[turbid ocean]

If anything, maybe grab Reedic or Yu

[nimble kite]

It's still very bad tactic, please reconsider.

[turbid ocean]

Dont know what the rest of your account looks like

[humble arrow]

grab kaltsit is fine too

[turbid ocean]

Yeah forgot, Kaltsit is very good if anything

[humble arrow]

Reedic is very bad here

[turbid ocean]

Yeah definitely not Reedic with Kaltsit existing

[nimble kite]

Friend units doesn't come E2d moreover. Even with such Starting Squad.

[cinder hearth]

If you just want to try it, you honestly could just reroll until non friend Eyja alt. There is a reasonable chance you don't survive to see her e2'ed anyways, and the m3's aren't huge because of all the reasons others listed.

[turbid ocean]

D10 the RES isnt 90 on Highmorb until D12

[cinder hearth]

More the start is difficult now that you've blown 7 hope on e1 Eyjalt.

[turbid ocean]

I wouldn't say its unsurvivable, Pinecone and Spot might be able to cope a little

Rather have Yu though than Eyja2

[cinder hearth]

"reasonable chance" =! guaranteed

And I listed a second reason as well-the m3 extra values likely just straight up won't be of much help.

[humble arrow]

pinecone is pretty strong tbh he could clear the stages with eyjaalt d10

[turbid ocean]

Actually I think given the pinecone it has reasonable chance of surviving but its semantics

[cinder hearth]

He
Dost thy retain the knowledge?

[turbid ocean]

Semantics yes we can move on now tho

👍

[cinder hearth]

Wow okay, starts semantics then ends it when the clash is struggling. /j

[turbid ocean]

I think we each had enough say

[bright lake]

in what situation would you ever use tragodia s3 over s2?

s3 standalone* no synergy with ops like grace / mantra

[pseudo flume]

Do we have any news on wtf is a Skybreaker Sniper

[pseudo flume]

Places where its hard to utilise the Cat?

[magic venture]

When the cat's redeployment time is increased

[pseudo flume]

Oh ya that too also Hai Arf

[magic venture]

Hi Astrel

[marble solar]

ccb4 for future use case
other situations are niche/stand dependant

[bright lake]

ugh

well wouldnt you use tragodia s3 when you cant pop s2 NI?

in one deploy cat

[visual hinge]

do you guys think it is good to skip leizi and go for hoshi alt/haruka ?

[bright lake]

due to elemental resist

[slim tusk]

the ni is like the least important part of s2

[marble solar]

cat procs NI on all enemies on s2 always, unless e resist which is not rlly a concern rn

[bright lake]

do you have mlynar

[visual hinge]

no

[marble solar]

how many pulls do u have rn

[cinder hearth]

You can always pop s2 NI once you hit the breakpoint. And it's main goal remains stall, which it does regardless of level.

[visual hinge]

0 pulls

[marble solar]

?? ok then, it's up to you - you're most likely fucked either way, i'd go for leizi personally

[visual hinge]

This is my squad btw

[cinder hearth]

Save for Hoshi Alter event imo given you have no way to even guarantee a 6* off leizi banner.

You might want to think your pull plan through better down the line-we've got a number of good and limited ops coming.

[bright lake]

ugh did yall build tragodia s3

[cinder hearth]

No.

[past cloak]

is it ok to use the pink certificates for gold certificates

[marble solar]

if ur broke u don't gotta build it rn dawg, there's time till ccb4

[visual hinge]

Aight

[cinder hearth]

Check pins for upcoming banners +priorities and think things through if some of them appeal to you.

[marble solar]

idk with 0 pulls, he's realistically only getting hoshi or haruka (if that) - and i think you'd rather have leizi over both of those in an acc w/ no mlynar

[pseudo flume]

Yes

Im well off enough for that expense

[visual hinge]

i can get around 150 pulls if i skip leizi

[bright lake]

same tbh, but im always so damn conservative with my builds and i dont even know why

[cinder hearth]

Is this assuming you spam story/side story and skip event.

[visual hinge]

i finished story already, just challenge mode left

[marble solar]

where r u getting 150 from, u said u have 0 rn

[pseudo flume]

Im still hesitating if Lemeun S2 is worth it for my case

[marble solar]

it's not worth it for u astrel

[visual hinge]

ugh i saw youtube videos, pull income untill the end of hoshi banner (starting from 1st dec)

[pseudo flume]

Probably yeah since I don't live and breath IS

[marble solar]

do u plan to play is6

[magic dome]

How good is Civilight Eterna S2 true damage compared to the likes of Kal'tsit, Mon3tr and Vina?

[visual hinge]

no

[burnt cedar]

it's not as important as S2 since S2 kinda does everything, but I did since I find it quite interesting and fun to use in IS

[marble solar]

dogshit

[burnt cedar]

you're not using it for the damage it's like 40s of bind on a single target

[marble solar]

if u have no interest in is6 u can safely skip leizi, why even bother lol

[bright lake]

is his synergy with mantra that powerful?

[burnt cedar]

but no, it does not compare

[marble solar]

i assume u aren't interested in ccb4 either, usually those who avoid IS don't rlly bother with cc

[visual hinge]

i didnot even finish IS2

[magic dome]

So I should go for S3 to immortal your ops then and leave S2

[burnt cedar]

it's very strong but tragodia doesn't need her to do well, S3 by itself also manages to do a lot

[cinder hearth]

Does Trag s3 combo with Mantra s3 or s2 for IS bullshit?

[marble solar]

mantra is extremely low prio and you should not pull at all unless waifu (at which point you won't be asking)

[bitter anvil]

problem is, whwre do you actually need immortality, and Idt it gives immortality isnt it just healing

[fiery canopy]

mantra waifu goes hard

[magic dome]

Yeah.. I used the word immortality cuz none of my ops died when activating her S3 though this is in general content

[bitter anvil]

whwre does she rank in 6* caster

Logos>Lappland>Mantra? or someone is above Mantra?

[cinder hearth]

It redistributes HP which does end up being psuedo-immortality for most damage.

[fiery canopy]

idk mantra is below nymph methinks

[marble solar]

i think this ranking is correct

[azure ledge]

Hey guys -- returning player. Heres my operators and main atory squad (ch2-5 still lol)

Start over or keep? Any suggestions for a modified squad? Aaand progression focus just push story/lvlup when stuck? TIA!

[marble solar]

what is nymph doing when tragodia exists

[pseudo flume]

Keep

[cinder hearth]

Keep. Zuo Le and Ines remain solid ops

[fiery canopy]

but she can still stall 1 guy

[bitter anvil]

so if sl7 is already doing it for you, don't need m3

[burnt cedar]

tragodia S3 and mantra S3 combo together in terms of range, a higher rate of application of nervous impairment burst allowing for mantra to do more damage, as for IS nonsense it's cuz they both scale off of aspd, so it's higher damage but then again

tragodia's S2 and S3 both work well without another operator

[cinder hearth]

Filling the downtime between cats! :clueless:

[marble solar]

bro using mantra in IS is already a mistake

[bitter anvil]

outside of some izumik one shot shenanigan, why use mantra

[burnt cedar]

which is why I put the last part in a different sentence, you use tragodia alone more than just fine

[cinder hearth]

Fair enough, gotcha.

[bright lake]

which of mantra' skills are best to use in tandem with trag?

[marble solar]

3

[burnt cedar]

S3

[bright lake]

mantra isnt uh... welfare is she lol

[honest rover]

as someones whos returned to the game after a very long time (stopped around the time when the grani event came out) how worth is it for me to pull on the banner rn? or should i save up for another incoming banner instead?

[cinder hearth]

Mantra is the ch16 op, like Mon3tr for ch15.

[bright lake]

dammet

[burnt cedar]

there's no way they're making a top 3 caster op for free lmao

[cinder hearth]

Save. Check pull priority in pins

[bright lake]

well they made the best puller free lol

[livid lark]

any info on what the upcoming ops in cn do yet?

[cinder hearth]

Best Uber niche op is a low bar.

[burnt cedar]

she's the best puller not because she's a puller man

[bitter anvil]

you will have a lot of pulls from the op you can get, you can pull most upcoming banners if you grind enough

also pull prio in pins

[burnt cedar]

but also yeah, uber niche

[cinder hearth]

Like ie, Specter Alt qualifies as best dollkeeper in general.
Does this make her metah

[bitter anvil]

the only good free 6* we have is raidain I think

[steady tusk]

Gladiia is mightly fine

[silver bluff]

Hello
I am a beginner so I wanted to ask if this a good start and who should I choose

[marble solar]

crownslayer is goated i heard (this isn't entirely propaganda)

[burnt cedar]

newest module makes her into a decent operator, before that hell no

[visual hinge]

https://imgur.com/Nm5VR13

[fiery canopy]

id reroll for ulpianus

[silver bluff]

Thank you

[bitter anvil]

she does have a niche now, perma stunning 3 enemies

[visual hinge]

as ery said, reroll for ulpianus

[cinder hearth]

She's technically stronger than Phantom for gen content now given she has a niche.

[visual hinge]

its fine, if u dislike rerolling

[cinder hearth]

Phantom wins out in IS most the time however, and Yato/Texas still cook her alive for the most part. Crownslayer couldn't even make it to the final optimized ccb4 run I think.

[bitter anvil]

for harder content like cc crownslayer is more useful than yato and texas I deem

[slim tusk]

you don't use stun bot for general content

[bitter anvil]

true but texas/yato/phantom couldn't even fathom the thought of being in ccb4

[slim tusk]

especially one that need mod 3

[cinder hearth]

No but you also don't use phantom either

[bitter anvil]

with the amount of cc options we have now, phantom s3 I don't see being used anytime soon

[cinder hearth]

Phantom's s3 remains mad funny

[burnt cedar]

slot machine, but 2

[bitter anvil]

if cc8 was to re run would we use phantom s3, I think no. Cat and nymph shenanigan

[cinder hearth]

Like wdym "pushes them back slightly" and "one of three effects"

[humble arrow]

crownslayer damage is not bad per se compared to the other frd

[cinder hearth]

CS DpH is technically passable especially compared to Phantom, but the talents/skills of Texalt and Yatoalt both mean they outdo her at instant/rapid DPS.

[nimble kite]

...Gravel?

Cause TexasAlter and YatoAlter will own her with no prob.

[humble arrow]

her total dmg is comparable to texas s3 no?

[nimble kite]

Daaaaaaaaamn.

[humble arrow]

I mean with that stun on top too

[cinder hearth]

Small problem, Texalt s3 proccs twice when playing into her talent, and is also built around essentially "instant" DPS. It's quite frontloaded.

[grave sail]

Do rerun banners carry pity over the next banner?

[humble arrow]

Thats accounting for proccing twice already

[cinder hearth]

Reruns of standard banners carry to the next standard.

[bitter anvil]

texas s3 is true aoe tho, it can hit like infinite enemies

[humble arrow]

Only true for the first initial slam

[grave sail]

Is Ulpianus banner a standard banner?

[nimble kite]

Depends. If it's Standard, like Ulpipi is, yes, it carry a SixStar soft pity.

But it doesn't carry the 150th pull = Banner op one tho.

[cinder hearth]

Which is the one you care about 99% of the time

[grave sail]

I see, thanks

[bitter anvil]

she dies after the first slam anyway

[cinder hearth]

You rarely let Texas linger past the slam stun expiring.

[grave sail]

But how do you know if a character is a standard banner character?

[cinder hearth]

And then there's Yato.

[bitter anvil]

its usually mentioned ingame

[humble arrow]

But yato doesnt have any util so

[cinder hearth]

Your little friend called Google can help with that, along with in-game mentions.

[proven kelp]

Upcoming Banner priority has the list if they will share pity

[slim tusk]

not isnta gibbed is a utility ril

[nimble kite]

1. Limited banner will HAVE a "Limited!" sign on one specific operator, plus we know they only one came in every quarter.
2. It's not from AK universe, but a collab one, which automatically makes them Limited.

And exception is one particular banner which grants SixStar you don't have yet.

All rest banners ARE considered Standard.

[slim tusk]

are we really coping cs now

[cinder hearth]

Alternatively, literally just throw in "[character name] arknights" to your search browser, click on the wiki.gg page, and it is listed in "How to Obtain" if they come from limited or standard or kernel or whatever.

[humble arrow]

Or look at the gemini AI assistant and read the first line

[cinder hearth]

Tri, you also need to remember that for invis vs camo.

Even Gemini knows the difference. Shame on you.

[grave sail]

So basically there's 3 types of 6 stars? Limited, Standard, and Kernel? I always thought Kernel and Standard had the same meaning

[proven kelp]

Technically, 4
Collab

Well, 5
Welfares

[bitter anvil]

Was gon say welfy lol

[grave sail]

What's welfare?

[bitter anvil]

Lowlight takes pity on us, and gives them to us for free as welfare

[cinder hearth]

Kernel is the op graveyard. Old standard operators go into that pool, freeing up space in the standard pool.

"pity"
Looks inside
The majority are ass on a stick

[steady tusk]

No Gacha required, only grind. like highmore

[grave sail]

Is welfare the one you get in events?

Is it possible to still get welfare dupes after the event ended?

[cinder hearth]

Where's the recruitment only :realmad:

[proven kelp]

Smh he asked for 6*

[proper lichen]

I dont thinks theres recruit only 6*

[bitter anvil]

I mean some of them are still serviceable

[cinder hearth]

I could recc raising Contrail over raising like, 90% of the welfare pool.

[proper lichen]

Contrail is decent dmg dealer so yeah

[cinder hearth]

She's a freak of nature for a 4* but you get my point.

[bitter anvil]

actually nvm I am onto nothing

[proven kelp]

And?

[cinder hearth]

Yeah but how many ways can the average player figure out without running back home to Kyo/Ecko.

[cerulean lion]

Does this mean it won't refresh anymore?

[cinder hearth]

Yup, no more new stores.

[bitter anvil]

And I realized I am blabbing nonsense

[proper lichen]

Yep

Soooooo, is Astgenne2 any good to build

[turbid ocean]

shes broken (derogatory)

[proper lichen]

So she bad(idk what derogatory mean)

[turbid ocean]

yes bad

as opposed to overpowered broken

👍

[cinder hearth]

Yeah she's bad

[fiery canopy]

borken kit

[proper lichen]

Wait do we already know what skill nasti do

[cinder hearth]

We do not, we only have the PV.

[rain forge]

do we know her archetype

[balmy panther]

stainless

[proper lichen]

Yep, she is the same stainless(artificer)

[rain forge]

stainless?

[cinder hearth]

Artificer.

S3 however does appear to involve tile manipulation. That much we can guess.
Current best guess I think(?) is s3 creates a high ground tile.

[glacial siren]

whats the activity room in base do?

[proper lichen]

Give trust base on ambience

[rain forge]

ah alr

[proper lichen]

Btw is mountain mod worth it

[jade mantle]

Does the next banner share pity with executor banner

[proper lichen]

Yes

[cinder hearth]

If you levelled modX, don't bother.
If you have any other decent op besides mountain that can lanehold, don't bother.

[turbid ocean]

Do you like using him that much?

then mody1

but yeah hes ass

[proper lichen]

I really like use him yeah

[cinder hearth]

Honestly if you don't care about your mod blocks and want to use him regardless of stage, may as well modY lv3 and laugh as he trembles 2 enemies while the rest walk past him.

It's certainly not your money's worth but at least you'll feel something.

[balmy panther]

tears of blood cuz you wasted blocks on mtn instead of actually good mods

[cinder hearth]

That too.

[arctic salmon]

What do I buy more? As a day5 player

[turbid ocean]

Ignore Underflow Tokens
And buy the left two most columns

Ignore furniture too

Can wipe the rest

Dump rest on Infinite Manganese / Loxic Kohl,
evenly

[cinder hearth]

Tldr buy everything except furniture + tokens, buy equal amount of the infinite blue materials.

[brave karma]

will they give us underflow tokens for free once the event becomes permanent?

[cinder hearth]

Yes

[turbid ocean]

Yes

In a year or so the furniture/potentials

The event will be permanent from now on

[cinder hearth]

🐌

Events only rerun once.

After that they become the permanent stuff.

[arctic hawk]

same answer but worse

[arctic salmon]

Just buy the left one and done?
Should I even dump sanity into farming manganese/loxic as starter day5

[turbid ocean]

Buy the polymerization prep yes

uh you keep farming the event not for the Mango/Loxic

Its for the farming stages

[magic thistle]

who should i get indra or vulcan

[turbid ocean]

namely BP-6 for the sugar

[turbid ocean]

you get another voucher at 1000 recruits
both are ass

pick one you like

[arctic salmon]

What for

[turbid ocean]

vulcan is mildlyless rare in recruitment

[arctic salmon]

I can't beat it with my team without support

[turbid ocean]

events are prime time to farm T3 (blue) materials because theres stages that drop materials at on average lower rates than story does

if you can't farm BP-5 even

[magic thistle]

are the characters there different?

[turbid ocean]

Its not really high prio but you can still farm BP-3 or 4 to just make some small back log of lower tier materials

Then switch to farming for your operator E2

[turbid ocean]

no, same two

[tacit spruce]

Where do you guys play arknights on PC?

[turbid ocean]

LDPlayer, MumuPlayer, Google Play Games

(Emulators)

[honest rover]

google play games is the "official" one they let you download on the website, but its got some uh, issues

[tacit spruce]

Yeah I'm already aware of it's existence, I used to play on LD player nad Google play but these were kinda buggy for me

[arctic salmon]

I been farming bp5

[turbid ocean]

LDPlayer is also official

GPG depends machine to machine whether its stable or not

[tacit spruce]

Google play download speed is too slow less than a mb/s, and LD player keeps crashing

[turbid ocean]

Try Mumu player then

Its reportedly the least crashy

Though not always the smoothest

[arctic salmon]

So just keep doing event on bp5?

[turbid ocean]

[arctic salmon]

Even after clearing the shop?

[turbid ocean]

Depends, how much crystaline do you have

and how much loxic/manganese

[ancient gyro]

Someone have the same issue ? when i start the stage, it crash and happen often when i press start in google play games

[turbid ocean]

Might wanna ask #tech-support

Not sure

[ancient gyro]

Oh okay, thanks

[turbid ocean]

good luck 🫡

[blazing parcel]

Does anyone skiping leizi banner?

[ancient current]

i am, but what is this question

[arctic salmon]

What color is the item?

[split raven]

depend how many pull you have

[turbid ocean]

the BP-5 farming material

[blazing parcel]

I got like 4 dead weeks before hoshiguma banner, according my planning

[fiery canopy]

known fraud

[split raven]

if you have less than 200 pulls then skip leizi

[humble arrow]

why?

[split raven]

beacuse sakiko right after hoshi

[turbid ocean]

the BP-5 farming mateiral, the green crystal thing, you got 17 of
you can kind of get by

[humble arrow]

Leizi only has damage right?

[turbid ocean]

okay either try to grind out some schizo clear for BP-6 (seek Youtube)

or

[arctic salmon]

Yeah 17
And manga+other is 2

[turbid ocean]

farm else things

Well you have so little i think you should try to push and farm BP-6 if posible

[arctic salmon]

I'm starter d5
My story is on 3-1, I haven't get kroos alter
Was told to farm event first

[split raven]

when in doubt youtube Leizi showcase

[turbid ocean]

I know you're new but still might be able to find a clear on youtube

[turbid ocean]

Heavily just good to have for IS6
Used in CCB4 and HCMs for S1 tremble on demand + damage

All 3 skills used in some way or another though not necessary for most players

[arctic salmon]

I mean I clear easily with Wis support

It's just that the NPC is very crazy and one taps /shotgunner

[turbid ocean]

I know, but im talking about figuring something low end for yourself to auto

try #strategy

maybe they can help you cook something up with your roster

[arctic salmon]

So just try farming there for now? Until event ends?

[turbid ocean]

You can farm BP-5 a little long i think

[arctic salmon]

What would u suggest?

[brazen gulch]

Does Silence's drone upgrade with skill level? Couldn't find the info on the wiki

[turbid ocean]

if the next event to farm the infinite mats is far off given it might be Hoshi2...
then you will not have Mango/Loxic for a month...
can afford to farm till you have like 10-15 of each

Small supply to get you by a month

[turbid ocean]

the cycle is improved

which is important for uptime

drone stats scale with her level directly

[split raven]

does her talent hit random?

[arctic salmon]

Well I'm not sure how much/long I need to farm and mats I need

Like the bp4 mats what about these

[turbid ocean]

I see you have quite a few T1 materials

your T2 materials you could farm a teensy bit but its not really that important...

[arctic salmon]

Basically I need to do bp1-4 then bp6 to get 15-20 of the mats?

[turbid ocean]

Could be nice to have like 20+ of each T2 (green) material

sure thats fine i guess but dont over farm it

[arctic salmon]

So I gotta check like every bp mats and see if I have 15-20 of them in inv?

[turbid ocean]

All of this should be easy to answer but its just awkward given the timing of other events, and how BP-5 is one of the bad farming stages unluckily

Sure, you can kind of do that through the stage screen

check the drops -> press on the mat -> it shows you how much you have

[arctic salmon]

Okay

[turbid ocean]

even if something says "rare" or "uncommon" alot of the rates are pretty similar together

[arctic salmon]

As for the tokens just split between manga and other

[turbid ocean]

well thats the case for T1 materials sorry

T2 materials can vary

yeah split how much of each you get

[gaunt shoal]

Quick Q about the gacha system: if I did some pulls on the ulpi banner and didn't get a 6 star, what would happen to the pity? Does it just expire or go to the next banner or the standard banner?

[turbid ocean]

ideally you get like 15 of each to last you a month eye balling

[turbid ocean]

See pins for pity sharing

short answer: yes it gets caarried over
but don't think about pity much in this game... average 6* is only 35 pulls
don't even think about "building" pity, that is worthless since guranteeing rate up (focus selection points) doesn't carry

[arctic salmon]

Ight ty

[gaunt shoal]

Ty, just to make sure I read the pinned content right, it only carries over in the same type of banner, right? Or is it shared between all types of banners that have a pity system?

[turbid ocean]

theres realistically 2 6* pities:

Standard - (many different types of banners)
Kernel - Only ones active at once

[gaunt shoal]

I've already done approx 55 pulls with no 6* so I'm thinking of just giving up and pulling some future banners instead.

[haughty holly]

@turbid ocean if u had to pick what stage to farm for event currency and mats
Would u do the sugar stage or crystalline stage in the event

Or u just pick whatever that ur lacking in

[turbid ocean]

You can hold it for Leizi2 sure

[turbid ocean]

Farm Sugar till 150+

[fiery canopy]

150 sugars

[turbid ocean]

Crystalline depends a little but apparently one of the worse farming stages

[haughty holly]

Oki

[turbid ocean]

Something something R8-11 has better sanity efficiencies

[fiery canopy]

isnt it worse than r8-11 yeah

[turbid ocean]

Long term players consistently have 200+ of all materials

[copper oracle]

does anyone know where to get the skill animations of the chibis, does prtswiki have it 🚬

[turbid ocean]

Yes

[gaunt shoal]

Mfw everything I want to upgrade costs loxic kohls which I never have any of

[turbid ocean]

Think aceship has it too now

Just no VFX

[copper oracle]

r u answering me light or r u answering the yuri merchant

[turbid ocean]

thats rendered seperately

you

both

[copper oracle]

ok thanks babe

[haughty holly]

The unlimited kohl in the event shop:
