[hallow swift]

Mon3tr mod worth getting or nah

[maiden thunder]

Don't gotta get fancy just run sussuro

[graceful vigil]

how much sanc haruka provides? cant open wiki rn

[maiden thunder]

We don't even know what it does yet

[fleet oak]

snagged my first top operator tag! i have mountain and sash but none of the others, what are yall's tag recommendations?

[maiden thunder]

30% passively

[hallow swift]

Swear it was posted somewhere I could be tweaking

[graceful vigil]

on skill 60%?

[maiden thunder]

Send it to me I'd think it through(would post this shit on #arknights tho since it still haven't been tested)

[graceful vigil]

thanks

[maiden thunder]

Top op slow for Suzuran gamble

[hallow swift]

Sent in dms

[graceful vigil]

💔

[manic rover]

Whos better logos or ulpianus? 😭 I got two logos and its pmo

[maiden thunder]

Logos is better.

[manic rover]

Fr?

[maiden thunder]

The best caster in the game yes

[granite cedar]

Can someone help me decide who do i focus my resources into?

[maiden thunder]

Also whoever that was,go work on your mods first.

[crisp dawn]

Send roster

[manic rover]

😭 Thank you

[maiden thunder]

Finish building ray,reedic(can be modless),tragodia and Silverash module/masteries then u can E2 ascalon,after that's done you can start working on zuo le e2.

[cyan vault]

MOUNTAIN OR SILVERASH????????????

[maiden thunder]

Silverash

[granite cedar]

Ray until what module level?

[pastel canyon]

wait i just realized beanstalk is ranged, who do i use as a cheap lane blocker besides like myrtle or courier

[maiden thunder]

Mod lvl 3 would make her sandbeast redeployment time line up with s3 if u retreat it once it's over.

[granite cedar]

Beanstalk can summon a bean

[pastel canyon]

what bean

[granite cedar]

A thing that can be deployed in ground tiles and blocks 1

[restive crown]

Is Lin worth upgrading? My only caster is Amiya so far

[pastel canyon]

[maiden thunder]

She is the best 4* vanguard lane holder just use her summon it should be at the bottom once u deploy her.

[pastel canyon]

bruh i thought someone told me beanstalk wasn't good 💀

[maiden thunder]

I'll find them🤫

[open cape]

For IS5 who is better Spot or Gummy?

[viral creek]

Thanks, I'll probably not build Gladiia for now then

[maiden thunder]

Niche,s3m3 modx3 but she should be workable if u need arts dps and the best u have is click(yes click>amiya for caster).

[viral creek]

Ah yes, which module level was recommended for Lemuen? Was it 2 or 3?

[cyan vault]

GUMMY

[maiden thunder]

2 but 3 is not a bad upgrade.

[open cape]

so i dont regret leveling her to E2 40

[hushed vessel]

virtuosa x or y module guys

[frail thunder]

What banner is CN currently on?

[maiden thunder]

It's on a random bum banner since it's Lappalter event rerun

You gotta wait till propeller paradise.

[hollow sparrow]

tbh you just keep her at e1 usually

[restive crown]

Hmm got it, I was using tragodia for arts damage. Do I still need to upgrade her in that case? I'm saving up this instant 6* e2 item but idk if I should use it on her

[lunar apex]

werent you mod before ?

[open cape]

Well the dye have been cast

[maiden thunder]

Save it, leizialt is a much better choice if u are pulling her.

[hollow sparrow]

i got removed for inactivity

[lunar apex]

tuff

[hollow sparrow]

touched grass too much

[open cape]

i am going to IS2, 3 and 4 latter to farm so

[restive crown]

Oh I'm using all my ressources to pull ulpianus so I'll probably skip her

[maiden thunder]

If you have good damage u don't need to upgrade Lin for damage since she is iffy for that,you don't need a caster/sniper/guard/supporter ignore the constraints of these classes the only thing u should focus on is DPS and people that enables it.

[restive crown]

That makes sense, thanks for the tip!

[frail thunder]

Is there any way to tell what my support units my friends are using

[lunar apex]

You dont know their name or ?

[pastel canyon]

are there really no 4 star ranged ops better than kroos lol

[fathom nest]

Not the specific ones being used, no

Not until CC comes around

[frail thunder]

Aw man, does anyone ever use thorns in support nowadays

[maiden thunder]

I wouldn't say they are not better but kroos is cheaper and does just as well but you'll prob draft may/totter more in IS5/6 if u need a low hope sniper.

[pastel canyon]

kroos is goated

[maiden thunder]

Unless they are the type to 1:1 guides thorns is not used often

[open cape]

amiya guard is good IS?

[maiden thunder]

Caster/guard amiya suck and medic amiya is niche

[fiery lynx]

not really. unless we are on cc event.
also, no one uses thorns anymore if they have other options.

sock

[balmy frigate]

been awhile since i played, start over or keep?

https://www.krooster.com/u/right-teal-orca-63jv

[fathom nest]

The account isn't particularly impressive but it's not the worst thing to continue with

[lunar apex]

cooked

[cyan vault]

i mean if you start now its not like you would have any avantage so continue it

[balmy frigate]

more pulls ig

[lunar apex]

They might have advantage on pullings new character
most of the ops above are not that viable anymore

[fathom nest]

Try for Leizi. If you don't get her, then consider if you feel like rerolling

[balmy frigate]

when is leizi

[fathom nest]

Soon but not announced

Should be the next event unless Yostar fudges the schedules

[balmy frigate]

what would the advantage be if i start over rn? just more pulls right

[fathom nest]

More pulls to farm, a stronger start

[balmy frigate]

stronger as in better beginner banner or what

[fathom nest]

Stronger as in Leizi is very strong

The beginning banner is a side note in this

[balmy frigate]

is there a new one? or the same one with mountain exu etc

[fathom nest]

Same one

[balmy frigate]

whos the best to get in that one rn, or it doesnt matter

[fathom nest]

SilverAsh

[balmy frigate]

how is vulpis

[signal dragon]

kinda mid

[fathom nest]

She's okay. Pioneer with some damage

Nothing spectacular

[balmy frigate]

oh my account is so cooked

[fathom nest]

The only bad op on your current account is Hellagur tbh

Everyone else is still usable

[balmy frigate]

if i get leizi in this account its a keeper right

[fathom nest]

Leizi does blow them out of the fucking water

[lunar apex]

ehh depends

even if you get leizi, you would still have a hard time to grind for pulls for many banner after that

[fathom nest]

He probably has a lot of side stories and campaign to go through

[open cape]

any 6 star caster i should look out for in the next banners

[fathom nest]

None that would be rated up, but if you happen to get Logos

He's the best

[balmy frigate]

so if i choose to start over, do i just delete my account then

[lunar apex]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1273778725552390254.gif?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[fathom nest]

[open cape]

deleting a account sounds so wasteful...

[restive crown]

Does the 2% increased in pulls over 50 rolls without getting a six stars apply to Focused Selection banners too? I doubt it but I wanna confirm

[nimble kite]

It works separately.

[restive crown]

Sadge, thanks

[fathom nest]

It's in every banner but the focused selection is a different mechanic

[nimble kite]

It can applied together, if you get SixStar by this +2% rule, and you are already 150+ pulls wasted tho.

But they work separately from each other.

[fathom nest]

The 50+ pity also carries over while focused resets

[nimble kite]

And Focused Selection is actually limited to this banner.

[humble nova]

which one

[fathom nest]

Vulcan is easier to get through recruiting for more certs

If that matters

[nimble kite]

Vulcan, because at least Factory skill.

THAT'S ALL.
In combat, both equally sucks ass.

[humble nova]

oh in that case vulcan it is

[fathom nest]

You'll get a second ticket later on too

[restive crown]

Oh that's good to know thanks

[open cape]

I want to level Fia after E2 narantuya that good idea or nah?

[severe crypt]

Fia kinda sorta sucks, just keep her benched

[nimble kite]

No, it's not at all. Leave her E0-1.

[severe crypt]

Her base skill is also e0 only so another reason not to lvl her

[open cape]

and thorns alter?

[odd heart]

Not a top priority tbh even as someone who loves using him

His main skill that’d be used is his S2 as well. So he can stick to E1 at best.

[nimble kite]

ThornsAlter if you know what are you doing.

Better to pick him as SupportUnit, play some time and then decide, are you into him or not.

[open cape]

when look his i found him pretty niche

[ancient lintel]

clunky af

[nimble kite]

Cause you would probably just spam S2 and literally forget about any of his other skills.

[open cape]

i see

[ancient lintel]

I've seen 1 case where his healing reduction from s2 comes in handy and that's it, s3 is just whatever, good numbers but like setting it up is annoying af

[open cape]

i am trying to get Logos, Wisadel, lapp alter and texas alter in the future, i saw some banner that may come and the side up rates

[severe crypt]

We’d rather advise against trying to spark them

[nimble kite]

I think you won't get them as offrate.

[open cape]

at least i going to try

[severe crypt]

You’re better off pulling the 2 rate ups and dipping

[odd heart]

The healing reduction doesn’t really have a use if at all tbh, the main point I like about it is it’s wide area and hit count, the latter in particular was great for AD stages with all the Curtains.

[open cape]

this banner may happen so... i can try

[severe crypt]

Assuming that the 6 ops there are also the ones we get, which may not be the case

[open cape]

ascalon is also some one i want to get

[open cape]

true

[severe crypt]

Asca and logos are best off being bought via gold certs in about a year

[ancient lintel]

dunno if the options are the same though

There's been incidents where your choices where "tampered"

[open cape]

wonderfull

for now farming levels in IS here we go

[tropic delta]

Hey, so not sure if this is the proper channel but I have a question concerning the Base. I had to delete and redownload the app on my computer and it wiped out my settings. Wasn't there an option to claim all of the Factory stuff in a single button press? I remember there being one but since I redownloaded it, that option no longer appears

The trading post Orders option still exists, if that means anything

[daring vigil]

Should be in settings

[tropic delta]

Found it, thanks

[split ermine]

What do I do if I don't have neither Rosmo nor Wis'adel for IS5 triple flinger comp ? Since I can only borrow one. Should I play a different comp or is there a variation?

[ancient lintel]

just do wis + gummy

and once you got the king's set you can start hand mixing

[abstract mauve]

why are we handmixing

[young igloo]

It will be different

[open cape]

any strategies for IS2 to make farming easier?

[daring vigil]

Borrow wis

[open cape]

wis can carry me ass in all IS?

[daring vigil]

yup

[open cape]

IS2,3,4 and 5

[young igloo]

Silverash carried me is2,3,4 but is5 he's bad

[waxen creek]

Am I better off raising Mulberry or Chestnut as a second wandering Medic to pair with Honeyberry? I feel like this event is kind of annoying dealing with the elemental injury and I wanna get all badges.

[ancient lintel]

eh I think exu > wis as a starter in IS3, just because of the annoying low hovering dudes

[young igloo]

Any recommends for this stage? I guess wisadel can't carry it solo

[daring vigil]

ascalon, ethan, pinecone

[young igloo]

As a solo hypercarry?

[daring vigil]

To help

[young igloo]

I use mayer for them

[copper pelican]

Mostly use aoe slowers like ambushers or suzu/angelina

[young igloo]

Chestnut cuz you won't usually need two elemental medics so there's low return value
So i recommend chestnutz he's cheaper

[young igloo]

What about mostima

[copper pelican]

Maybe, but to be honest the skill takes too long to charge

[daring vigil]

you want operators that do a lot of aoe attacks

[young igloo]

Also I cleared this event with 5*s with honeyberry e1

[waxen creek]

Thanks I'm only using 2 because I'm struggling on the EX-6 stage. The top lane has 2 really annoying enemies and they deal a lot of elemental injury

[copper pelican]

I used Ascalon and Horn for that, you just need to slow them into a big group and have aoe

[waxen creek]

my honeyberry is e1 max level

[young igloo]

Then she will be a tiny tiny bit lacking
I think you e2 her and you're good, no need to build 2nd medic

[pale scaffold]

which has higher prio, haruka or leizi

[copper pelican]

Do you want more damage or healing

[digital phoenix]

haruka if you like afk

[pale scaffold]

i dont need any tbh

[humble arrow]

Haruka because you get hoshi

[pale scaffold]

but cant go wrong with more damage

[copper pelican]

Then if you don’t need them and don’t particularly like the ops, just skip

[young igloo]

Haruka is quercus on steroids right

[humble arrow]

Basically

[pale scaffold]

i like afk guess im getting her

[copper pelican]

I’m honestly just gonna skip both, I already have Mlynar and he’s good enough, and don’t particularly need another healer

[young igloo]

So true

[raven harbor]

whats the most broken, turn your brain off operator i could use as a support to clear super early stages of supply grinding?

[pale scaffold]

first thought narantuya s1

[raven harbor]

not struggling, just wanna erease them asap

[humble arrow]

Wisadel

[pale scaffold]

second thought wisadel s1 cause you dont need s3 for early stages

[humble arrow]

Personally I like ascalon as the least brain using operator

[pale scaffold]

ascalon is my 3rd thought

[raven harbor]

Mlynar

[humble arrow]

I woulf still use wisadel s3 for the 3 shadoed

[blissful berry]

pretty much guranteed it wont be all similar, do hope the 2 similar ones are monstr and logos though

[pale scaffold]

sure i mean she don't even need skills to clear super early supply stages

[digital phoenix]

not afk, but in general for supply, I just typically do GG + sniper ASPD buff with Yu and Mon3tr

[humble arrow]

Revenant shadows are very strong better than s1

[blissful berry]

i mean would exu alter be considered kinda braindead too

u just kinda melt everything

[humble arrow]

Not really she needs you to activate her skill more than once

[raven harbor]

so, the best afk unit i can use as a support is ....?

[pale scaffold]

wis s3 is good

[blissful berry]

logos s1 🧌 jokes aside wisa s3 just nukes everything with 3 mini shooters too

[raven harbor]

already have her, she melts yeah but she alone isnt enough kek

[pale scaffold]

it's super early stages, idk why would exu2 be not enough

[raven harbor]

as i said, not struggling, just wanna speedrun trough them

[humble arrow]

Because she needs to activate skill more than once

[blissful berry]

i mean can u clear it without support units?

[humble arrow]

Just bring wisadel bro she is infamous for a good reason

[abstract mauve]

narantuya s1 or logos s1 as they said

[pale scaffold]

then just use wisadel and activate s3 once, should have no problem if no flying enemy

[blissful berry]

logos s1 kinda not good for speedrunning with how long it takes to activate but it is a true afk unit

[pale scaffold]

wisadel has camouflage if that make it feel safer

[abstract mauve]

he's doing supply stages. i dont think dying was an option

[pale scaffold]

mortar enemy

[copper pelican]

Logos

[abstract mauve]

[humble arrow]

Just makes it more braindead, the rev shadoes can even tank ranged dmg

[raven harbor]

will play normally with my team for the last stage i can play to unlock the muti-clear but until then i dont wanna think lol

[pale scaffold]

when i think about that mortar attacks are aoe and can damage wis

[raven harbor]

what class is logos again?

[copper pelican]

Caster

[humble arrow]

You can manipulate spikes so she summons them outside range

[pale scaffold]

caster

then you need to turn on brain

[copper pelican]

Use the skill one or else you actually gotta click skill

[humble arrow]

True

[humble nova]

Best units to buff Lin’s damage?
And can Warfarin be one?

[abstract mauve]

aak. since he gives her sp as well

[raven harbor]

Logos with S1 found, commencing night grind

[copper pelican]

Not really, just place a row of ops or summons in front of her and to her side, then she summons them one tile away from her negating the aoe

[blissful berry]

caster, his s1 basically just makes it so he gets a dmg amp and insta kills anything lower hp than his atk

[humble arrow]

Sadly thats brain being used for some

[copper pelican]

The second stage of the sniper and caster chips can be soloed by logos (kinda, you need a medic)

[blissful berry]

u can just put him down and forget about it and he will just do everything by himself

[copper pelican]

Yeah even if it’s the easiest thing ever

[pale scaffold]

idk which supply stage was he doing though

if something like cargo just use ascalon s1

[raven harbor]

generally, i wanna rae trough all of the early ones

[copper pelican]

True, but Logos is good for all of them

[prisma thorn]

(150% of his atk at m3)

[raven harbor]

rn im on uhhh lmd ones

[humble arrow]

Idek tbh mlynar permanently brainrotted placement order

[pale scaffold]

some of them ends faster than his s1 charge though

[hollow sparrow]

at e1 i prefer naran s1 for afk over logos

[blissful berry]

yeah thats the issue its like 60 charge

[copper pelican]

The second to last LMD stage low-key harder than the last one

[humble arrow]

Logos takes very long before that he isnt really doing anything

[pale scaffold]

cargo escort, i'd use ascalon s1

[raven harbor]

i lowkey love mylnar i wish i can grab him sometime

[blissful berry]

depends if u have a caster but yeah kinda funny how it isnt reversed

[blissful berry]

ur in luck because his somewhat side grade is the next banner unless u wanted the aggro thing he has

[pale scaffold]

turn on brain
click mlynar
turn off brain

[humble arrow]

Aggro is very braindead

[copper pelican]

I honestly have Mlynar in almost all my teams but never place him down

[south glacier]

this is very real

[blissful berry]

yeah makes unit order placement just not a thing anymore

[humble arrow]

I just use him as taunt bot always place him but i never turn his skill on

[copper pelican]

Cuz I usually clear stages first try, so I never know when’s a good moment to pop his skill until I’ve tried the stage a few more times and know when to actually use him

[blissful berry]

I do wanna get a lib guard that isnt tequila so I might js go for leizi

[pale scaffold]

noisy asian woman

[blissful berry]

she does seem very useful for certain things

[humble arrow]

Why

[copper pelican]

Isn’t she better at aoe? And slightly better damage overall

Something like that, but to be honest if you have Mlynar you really don’t need Leizi

[raven harbor]

his sidegrade? who?

[blissful berry]

big nuke that doesn't take aggro and can bypass stuff like forced go back home

[pale scaffold]

would've get leizi if my pulls allowed it 🥲

[humble arrow]

Aggro is annoying... sometimes

[blissful berry]

heard the damage is similar, its just her takeoff mechanic just allowing you to ignore some stages mechanics

[copper pelican]

I feel like this team is missing something, just can’t tell what

[pale scaffold]

a sniper ig

[raven harbor]

i love his playstyle, aurafarm for a bit, press skill, operator goes bonk bonk, mission acomplished

[blissful berry]

basically mini upgrade that does stuff abit different, comes down to what you need

[humble arrow]

This literally my team

Missing a sniper yes

[pale scaffold]

or trag

[copper pelican]

This is just my team I use for fun when I don’t wanna use my half braindead main team

Also I have like no good snipers, I only have a level 1 Lemuen and a max level Pozëmka

[humble arrow]

This is my braindead team lol

[blissful berry]

leizi kinda does the same thing but doesn't take aggro, she actually removes her own aggro

[pale scaffold]

having trag solves most thing in ch13 for me

i like how he just burst the blood ambers and those white thingy with elemental damage

[ember marsh]

i have a feeling i built my base wrong. Correct me before i max it 😭

[humble arrow]

Exu cov

[south glacier]

certain 6* flinger

[hollow sparrow]

ascalon ines s2 are their better skills btw

[ember marsh]

i am running out of gold

[blissful berry]

most people go 4 factory 2 trading

[ancient lintel]

yea it's wrong XD, change to 252

[pale scaffold]

3 post 3 fac 3 powerplant is definitely a bad layout

[prisma thorn]

downgrade all dorms to lv1
2 tp, 5 fac, 2 pp

[copper pelican]

I know it’s better, but for this team I’m not exactly using her to lanehold

[south glacier]

asca s3 is good for gen content its solid dps

[ancient lintel]

who tf does 3 3 3 lol

[humble arrow]

Ines fastredeploy is fine with flag

[ember marsh]

idk, i am new

[eager crown]

Who should I build first? They'll be taking Mountain's place when I do.

[pale scaffold]

i use ascalon s1 cause no button to click

[hollow sparrow]

tequila

[raven harbor]

how lucky am i for seeing this conversation just after thinking i wanna build my base a bit

[copper pelican]

This is my main team, I may have been hit with the braindead wave where I get carried so much by the stupidly op ops

[humble arrow]

Dont build quercus haruka is coming

[hollow sparrow]

tequila isn’t really a mountain replacement though
they have different roles

[hexed adder]

Also don't upgrade ur office, stay with that lv

[blissful berry]

curious how long have you been playing

[pale scaffold]

u should build your base after your team can conveniently clear stages

[south glacier]

thas real, i feel so much dumber nowadays when i clear stages

[ancient lintel]

#bot-spam /base and fix your layout first, then /baseskills to look for slaves workers

[copper pelican]

Uh, to be honest not very long, only around a year, but the account was created in 2023

[eager crown]

It's by design. I'm aware.

I just want to uh, start using other stuff.

[blissful berry]

mountains more of a lane holder tequila won't be doing alot of blocking lets js say that

[eager crown]

That's assuming I'm even getting Haruka.

[copper pelican]

I wanna use my favorite ops, but they’re all so bad it’s kinda hard to justify being able to use them

[blissful berry]

oh ic, do you buy the selector packs?

[hollow sparrow]

just use a real medic instead of quercus tbh

[eager crown]

I know. I want to start using five stars for the fun of it.

[humble arrow]

ulpianus gladia is 100% more braindead

[prisma thorn]

anything works if you compensate with skill

[copper pelican]

I didn’t buy those, mostly just got lucky with pulls

[pale scaffold]

build tequila cuz he has good base skill

[south glacier]

deadass bruh modern ops r lowkey just hit the glowing button and blow up the stage

[eager crown]

This what I'm going with.

[blissful berry]

ic

[kindred root]

Just pick a niche

[hollow sparrow]

are we flexing our teams now

[copper pelican]

Two of my top 3 favorites are Ho’olheyak and Harmonie, they don’t do any damage (Harmonie is decent for CC tho)

[raven harbor]

How cooked is this out of 10

[pale scaffold]

the urge to mention salt mine

[final maple]

Should I raise Blaze alter?

[hollow sparrow]

no

[eager crown]

Upgrade your team.

[blissful berry]

potential woman

[prisma thorn]

💔

[raven harbor]

beside that ehe

[south glacier]

solid start if you're on the newer end

[raven harbor]

started on the absolute last like 5 hours of exualt banner

[copper pelican]

I’m not gonna lie with y’all, how do you manage to have the ops out of class order

[severe crypt]

Nightmare sucks gotta ditch her

[copper pelican]

I can’t have them out of order or else I start tweaking whenever looking at it

[eager crown]

Good start then. Really good start I'd say.

Back in my old days, I had to start with Shining as my first six stars.

[hollow sparrow]

shining?

[raven harbor]

any lower tier ops i should switch her with?

[severe crypt]

Also ditch liskarm and Lucilla

[copper pelican]

Silence alter probably

[raven harbor]

liskarm ? she carried me trough some stages lmao

[eager crown]

Oop, yeah, Shining. Alzheimer's moment.

[copper pelican]

Nvm then

[severe crypt]

Cuora is a much better op in terms of being a defender

[hollow sparrow]

e0 liskarm should not be carrying

[severe crypt]

You gotta send us the rest of ur roster

[eager crown]

Liskarm carrying the whole team on her back. Let her be.

[safe tundra]

[raven harbor]

well im kinda lying a bit cuz exu razes everything that even touches her attack range, but it helped having a unit who can block a lot of enemies and attack air

[severe crypt]

Also where’s ur tequila and kroosalter

[copper pelican]

Are any of these snipers even worth using other than Lemuen (no I don’t play IS much so I am not getting E2 Rosmontis)

[raven harbor]

Here’s everything i think is important…

[brazen turtle]

Narantuya is great

[humble arrow]

E2 pozy forever benched

[safe tundra]

alternatively you could put gravel inside her range, s2 then retreat to get full ASPD

[copper pelican]

Platinum is a good sniper, replace nightmare with her tbh

[safe tundra]

nothing changes here

[humble arrow]

Waste of materials

[prisma thorn]

this advice seems very dated

[copper pelican]

Eh I liked using platinum, could just be me

[severe crypt]

Nightmare would be replaced with steward if anything

Nvm click is right there

[copper pelican]

Well on my alt account at least since I somehow still don’t have her on my main

[south glacier]

sad to say this is in fact dated info

[severe crypt]

How many times was that s1 used

[safe tundra]

kroos is still infinitely better regardless its an old homegrown or new reroll

[raven harbor]

so click instead of nightmare and no other changes?

[south glacier]

0 lol

[severe crypt]

More changes are still needed

[raven harbor]

for now at least... or can i change some more stuff right now?

i do have mats to upgrade like 2 or 3 ops to max

[copper pelican]

If you wanna utilize push you could swap FEater in

[severe crypt]

Would baseline or beagle be the better lisk replacement

[south glacier]

are you pulling on the current banner, or have plans to pull in the near future?

[severe crypt]

If push is needed somewhere, Shaw can do that just fine

[copper pelican]

Well I mean if they need guardian defenders, but it should be fine without them for now

[raven harbor]

i was told to save up, but that happened a few hours ago, i dont have much stuff aha...

[copper pelican]

True, I honesty raise a few ops and forget about them

[severe crypt]

@raven harbor replace lisk with beagle, and replace her with cuora when you get her

[copper pelican]

Like Shaw, got her E1 and now she’s in the depths of my unused ops

[south glacier]

you're pretty early on so your squad will change a lot in the near future depending on what ops you pick up, so i wouldnt worry too much about optimizing your current squad

right now, you're in pretty good shape to clear most early story just by investing in exu 2 for now

people recommend saving because there are some very strong banners coming soon, the character on banner right now is good but is in a bad time period to pull

[severe crypt]

Also get tequila and kroosalter from dossoles holiday and invitation to wine respectively @raven harbor

[raven harbor]

what are those again?

[copper pelican]

Side stories

[raven harbor]

beagle over lisk looks illegal lmao but aight we doin it

[humble arrow]

Tequila even worth it atp he gon have leizi

[severe crypt]

No problem with more dps

[copper pelican]

Well depends on the luck really

[raven harbor]

youre overestimating my savings

[humble arrow]

He has very strong dps and m3 tequila kinda expensive

[raven harbor]

OHHHHHHHHH I SEEEEEEE

[atomic minnow]

ascalon passive fully stacked is 3 ticks of poison in second right?

[hallow raft]

People actually M3 Tequila?

[copper pelican]

I got a whole 3k orundum or however it’s spelled

[severe crypt]

That is poooor

[humble arrow]

Originite?

[south glacier]

i think with tickets, yes

[severe crypt]

Mines still like lvl1

[safe tundra]

you will use tequila inside base anyway the e2 ticket angle would still be him

[raven harbor]

Idk brochacho

[hallow raft]

With tickets? It's fair I guess.

[copper pelican]

No, the red ones, originite is the yellow

[severe crypt]

You need food stamps atp

[humble arrow]

Not even a second pull

[hallow raft]

Yeah but if you already got burst you only consider E2'ing tequila after getting shamare no?

[raven harbor]

what are those used for? and where do i get em?

[south glacier]

5* m3 ticket, yeah

i guess there are some better options but if ur at the stage where m3 tequila will make a difference its probably your best option

[severe crypt]

I’m taking the piss 😭

[safe tundra]

you can use him anywhere lol hes not restricted to shamare being must have

[copper pelican]

My savings aren’t the worst, but theyre also not gonna get me anything

[south glacier]

you got that we've all been there lol

[hallow raft]

Orundum i see.

[copper pelican]

I’m just saving my OP for Pozy skin and Eblana skin

[humble arrow]

Why yall so high level??? I played for 365 days and I have lv 92

[south glacier]

thats pretty normal

[copper pelican]

I’ve played for 311

[raven harbor]

also one more thing, who is leizi i dont see her on the upcoming banner

[safe tundra]

20 pulls is nothingburger unless youre me that offrates twice in 30 pulls

[humble arrow]

How does that work

[copper pelican]

Nah trust me my luck is goated

[humble arrow]

Do current events just give more sanity pots

[hallow raft]

Some of us is just as old as the release of the game so...

[raven harbor]

or is she just coming on a banner after that one

[copper pelican]

(No it isn’t, I had to use 180 pulls for a Eblana cuz I got like 4 off banners)

[south glacier]

yes, i could be super biased but i think you level a lot easier nowadays

[humble arrow]

Yall are 5?

[hallow raft]

I meant account-wise but yeah

[copper pelican]

Isn’t 2020 global release, so technically like 6/7 years

And now I say that I just realize what I’ve done

[south glacier]

leizi alter, exact date unknown but you can look up estimates for banner dates from when cn has the event

[humble arrow]

2025-2020=6

[severe crypt]

67

[raven harbor]

oh so she is just due very soon right?

[copper pelican]

Well I thought it release cn in late 2019

[severe crypt]

Global start is Jan 2020

[safe tundra]

if exu banner being the 6.0 celeb banner isnt the hint then idk what is

[copper pelican]

I’m low-key just saving for Silver Alter and Pramanix alt

[humble arrow]

That rebuilding mandate banner looks insanely good

[copper pelican]

I mean the choices can change

[raven harbor]

but isnt the next banner irene and dorothy? or isthat one just kernel or some other banner?

[south glacier]

these are event banners, irene and dorothy would be a standard banner

standard banners are where you can buy ops in store (the one pictured without the e2 art on banner)

[midnight nest]

I'm speedrunning my progression by converting my op to sanity, who should i build next?

[raven harbor]

oh i see now, makes sense

[prisma thorn]

preferably you don't

[humble arrow]

How did u get wisadel :o

[normal nexus]

It took me a day of attempts to beat frostnova 2 with this team, do i just suck at arknights or am i super underleveled or is she just freakishly strong

[south glacier]

would highly recommend not doing that 😭
also, nobody in your op list is worth burning op or even rushing to build

[humble arrow]

Wisadel but no exu cov or lemuen

[safe tundra]

unless your s3 is not on m3, exu literally solo shred her lol. and thats an incredibly low bar

[normal nexus]

its on m2 and she was but she died due to her cold fart

[midnight nest]

I got her on her release banner lol, i just came back from playing

[safe tundra]

yeah its m3 or she cant do it. but thats alright because youre not forced to use her

[humble arrow]

This team kinda not leveled in the right places/underleveled

[raven harbor]

arent those rather new? is it normal to get reruns so soon?

[south glacier]

good stuff :) youll get the hang of it the more you play

[midnight nest]

Ohhh should i just hyper invest on my built op then?

[normal nexus]

i guess ill focus on that before i get my ass whooped by like crownslayer 16 or something

[south glacier]

what do u mean by that?

[midnight nest]

Like max them out

[normal nexus]

Ill farm records too

[safe tundra]

no lol i specifically mean you dont need to focus on exu anymore

[raven harbor]

are any early game bosses surviving a full S2 from Exualt...?

[south glacier]

uhh i also wouldnt recommend that, it takes increasingly more xp and lmd the higher level the op is

its pretty bad returns once youre at level 60 ish, you're better off holding on to your resources to build future ops

[raven harbor]

cuz she feels so overkill anywhere i put her for now

[midnight nest]

Alrightt thank you

[humble arrow]

Exualt is kinda overpowered sadly

[south glacier]

focus on module for ulpi and the necessary module levels for others, as well as m3ing your current ops main skills

i do want to emphasize that op is not worth burning for sanity, but thats up to you on how you want to enjoy the game

[midnight nest]

Sanity just takes too long to refresh man

[south glacier]

could consider monthly card if sanity is your main concern

[eternal depot]

In this team, is Entelechia still worth building?

[raven harbor]

like, i havent seen any mob, even if stages im underleveled for, survive more than 2 bullets from exu

[safe tundra]

mid

[humble arrow]

I wouldnt

[ancient lintel]

Where r the mods bruh
Where's exu n trag mod

[south glacier]

wouldnt say she serves any purpose that you dont have covered, you're much better off modding your other ops that have strong mods

[midnight nest]

Which future banner should i save up for? Metawise

[dull coyote]

Should I get Saria to E2, or Mudrock?

[ancient lintel]

Anyone else to e2 apart from them?

[south glacier]

theres a lot of goods ones, ill resend this pic

there are also pull recommendations somewhere in the pinned stuff, but tldr haruka, leizi, togawa, and silverash are all strong ops worth pulling for

[dull coyote]

Trag, SilverAsh, and Tequila

[ancient lintel]

Trag first, then sash and then mudrock

[south glacier]

you could also do a quick search on yt or wiki if youre interested in characters to look at their kits and see which ones you want to pull for, its pretty unlikely you'll be unable to get all of them f2p if you have no pulls now

[daring vigil]

silverash first becuase trag doesnt need e2

[midnight nest]

I have 80 pulls rn, I think im gonna pull on the hoshialter banner

[south glacier]

would actually unfortunately say that neither of these ops are worth e2ing behind trag and silverash

[dull coyote]

Nevermind, I thought you askrd who else I have on E2, I have these three on E2, and I can send my team if you want, but the main ones I want to E2 are Mud and Saria

[safe tundra]

just coz shu exists doesnt always mean everyone have her so saria still have a place

[dull coyote]

Already have them to E2, I misunderstood the question 😭

[ancient lintel]

The question remains, is there anyone else apart from them to promote? Cause both are not really high priority unless they're the only ones you have right now

[dull coyote]

I see, I mean, I don’t really know who else would be worth promoting, honestly, lemme take a screenshot of my team rq

[south glacier]

its not a shu reason, its because those operators kits are simply not as strong nowadays
even without shu there isnt usually a reason to build saria

[ancient lintel]

You can use krooster instead of swarming this place with ss

[dull coyote]

Fair enough

[raven harbor]

No Mlynar or Texas2 rate up anytime soon, i hate life

i lowkey want Texas2 so much she is peak

[astral bear]

sparking her is unadvised since sparking in general is just a bad idea

[hollow sparrow]

manifest your own rate up

[brazen turtle]

Limited won't get rate up ever again so better save 300 pulls if you ever want someone

[raven harbor]

or maybe just off banner so i can pull into them waaaah

[raven harbor]

how is sparking in general bad? genuienly curious?

[ancient lintel]

We dont recommend sparking though

[safe tundra]

wdym bruh saria is still a valuable asset. an all rounder defender, either as statstick to tank something, healer to keep the team alive or later in endgame, arts amplifier.
it would make sense that the priority goes lower due to lack of dps options instead

[astral bear]

300 pulls on one banner is inefficient

[restive crown]

What's gladiia's best module? And should I max it out?

[hollow sparrow]

you can get like 5 good ops with those pulls instead

[astral bear]

especially rn since the banner lineup is full of amazing ops so pulls are very very valuable

[ancient lintel]

180k for 1 operator
Does it sounds worth it? Obviously not

[raven harbor]

wallahi fair enough

[hollow sparrow]

also these ops are a year old

[undone portal]

consider x3 if you have ulpianus or borrow him very frequently, otherwise leave her alone

[raven harbor]

uwa wish i got into this game earlier

[ancient lintel]

Mod X lv2+

[restive crown]

Yeah I wanna try the duo with ulpi

[raven harbor]

they can still clear comfily with the right team though! (...right? surely right?)

[safe tundra]

youre just it time. it could be worse, like not even owning exu

[brazen turtle]

You can borrow, I can friend you and give you the taste of Texalter

[severe crypt]

texalter aint allat 🥱

[restive crown]

Interesting, thanks!

[hollow sparrow]

just give it a year and you’ll have a squad with a bunch of meta
that’s how powercreep works

[raven harbor]

ive been using her and a mlynar as supports, theyre so fun to use

i wanted to try some other units to get the hang of different ops

[ancient lintel]

I mean sure she's still strong but there's a better option and the better option might get a rerun soon

[south glacier]

right, but the problem is what you're describing - a brick to tank, or healer - are both becoming less important

nowadays, you rely a lot less on blocking and outsustaining stages, you literally just blast them without a need to tank

[raven harbor]

which is...? i dont mind spoilers if thats anything to do with it

not owning exu is a sin. I pulled her and instantly fell in love.

[ancient lintel]

Kirin R yato, from monster hunter collab, which is getting a 2nd collab, just like how r6s has 2 collab

[brazen turtle]

Try Muelsyse and raise an army of snipers at the low low cost of 12 ish dp

[south glacier]

i wouldnt say shes a better option, theyre sidegrades
theyre both solid ops

[astral bear]

has this already happened in cn or is it still upcoming

[hollow sparrow]

try ling and raise an army of mudrocks at the low cost of..

[turbid ocean]

Please avoid unnecessary media, channel rule 4

[daring vigil]

Not yet

[normal nexus]

Its worthwhile to pull on the next limited banner right? I need to gamble

[ancient lintel]

It's confirmed that there's gonna be another mon hun collab, but we dont know when

[normal nexus]

Sorry

[astral bear]

new ops or just a redux of the old ones

[proven kelp]

I mean even in Late Game, who even still use her as an Arts Amplifier lol

If i want to tank something hard, i use a Brick
If i want to heal something dangerous, i use an actual med
I won't waste a slot for someone who half assed both, the only time im using her for those role is when the stage is easy enough that i can afford not bringing a medic but at that point it's not really particularly relevant

[hollow sparrow]

both probably

[raven harbor]

i did actually try a ling to cheese a stage , she looks so broken her dragons are not balanced lol

[undone portal]

have they confirmed kirin yato rerun? i just thought they teased a 2nd collab

[hollow sparrow]

yato rerun is implied

[ancient lintel]

Dunno, I mean last time we got noir2 and yato2, might as well get durin2 and 12F2 or rangers2 XD

[undone portal]

so in other words

[hollow sparrow]

tbh she’s not that good once you have a full team of meta ops

[turbid ocean]

Even if its implied lets not talk about it till its official

We hardly even know what ops we get off another collab aside from a 1* they teasted

[raven harbor]

she did give me the impression of an op thats like, THE best or one of the best if you dont have many strong ops

[hollow sparrow]

yeah that’s very much her thing

[restive crown]

Follow up question, it says SV stages but I can't find the event related to those. Do you know which one it is?

[ancient lintel]

That's also her problem, the more units you have the less valuable she becomes

[astral bear]

alr

[ancient lintel]

Under ties iirc

[raven harbor]

sadge i was gonna ask if its worth to go for her lol

also question since i didnt get to try it, do her dragons hit air too?

[astral bear]

on s2 for sure

[south glacier]

not the big ones that youll primarily be using

[restive crown]

I've searched under ties and can't find it anywhere, also idk what iirc means. Just found it nevermind

[raven harbor]

the ling i used was using S3 iirc

[brazen turtle]

Undertides

[astral bear]

s3 is ground only excluding ling herself

[brazen turtle]

It's in the Intermezzo event tab, meaning it's kind of very important lorewise

[hollow sparrow]

non s3 ling is kind of not real

[ancient lintel]

Do SV 9 and unlock ex stages, I believe it's win SV - EX - 5 flawless and have gla pull 2 flower dude down the hole yea?

[raven harbor]

the drags feel really tanky though i like that

[fathom nest]

That tab no longer exists

[safe tundra]

didnt think id see the day shes an example of half assed. this whole time i thought she does her job not just fine but actually good on it

[raven harbor]

any other ops i should use just for the experience? i like how many different stuff they can do

[hollow sparrow]

what point in story are you at

[south glacier]

not quite
she has no def/res increase, or form of self defense making her unreliable for tanking really heavy hits
her healing is quite subpar for anything outside of afk

[raven harbor]

i think uhhh halfway, maybe a bit more than halfway trough the 3rd chapter

[ancient lintel]

That aint half way xd, that's like a fifth of main story

[brazen turtle]

I feel the wrinkles already

[hollow sparrow]

you can just borrow random 6*s tbh
just give their kit a quick read though first

[raven harbor]

but i did a lot of the side thingies

[astral bear]

i'm not saying you shouldn't use ops you like but at your current stage of the game it would be more efficient to pull for strong ops & build them for better progression before raising ops you might find fun

[ancient lintel]

Cause there's 15 fckin chapters

[raven harbor]

i think i worded that badly/

1. meant halfway trough the 3rd chapter not the story itself
2. using different ops from the support

[brazen turtle]

Chapter 9 is a safe skip if you wanna get into the meat of arc 2 I would say?

Wait this is gameplay

[ancient lintel]

Nah you gotta do ch9, ch9 is the starting ch of act 2 iirc

[safe tundra]

ch9 is part of act 2 tho

[brazen turtle]

Forget what I said

[fathom nest]

[raven harbor]

welp ill keep pushing the story for now... ( and resort to uncle horse if i end up struggling

[turbid ocean]

Its not necessarily easier or harder - chapter 9/10 that is

[raven harbor]

i think i learned to use mlynar more than any other op lmfao i keep using him as support

such a clutch

[safe tundra]

tequila and mlynar shares almost identical pattern of gameplay except one is.. well drastically stronger

[fathom nest]

Scheduled server maintenance will be held from <t:1765450800:F> until <t:1765465200:F>

• starts <t:1765450800:R>
• ends <t:1765465200:R>

Compensation: 5

[hollow sparrow]

how much rdp does a p3 mod3 SA have with SA alter

[safe tundra]

you will need me to pull silveralter first

[raven harbor]

so tequila is mlynar but weaker?

[safe tundra]

essentially. hes a 5* afterall

[raven harbor]

bet let me grab them rn, which side story is it?

[fathom nest]

Dossoles

[ancient lintel]

Dossoless holiday

[astral bear]

difficulty in story kinda plateaus ngl after you get to a certain chapter it either gets easier or stays the same

[lavish stratus]

What’s the email of Arknights technical support?

[proven kelp]

She is half assed when compared to the actual ops who specializes on those jobs. Her tanking isn't great when compared to actual bricks and her healing isn't good when compared to medics

Role Compression is fine and all, but the role she's compressing is better off to be specialized than doing it as a side job due to the nature of being a Brick and Healing.

As i already said. If i want to tank something that hits hard, im not wasting my slot on someone who isn't built for it, but someone who actually specialized to it, same with healing

It's not like Ines who's role she's compressing actually works. Stalling doesn't need to be active 24/7, most of the time you just want the enemy to be stalled for a few seconds, which she does great. But when Tanking something hard, you want them to actually take a lot of hits not someone who will just die in a few because she's not built for it

[hollow sparrow]

#✨contact-support

[raven harbor]

i have a feeling ill love using tequila

something just clicks for me about that playstyle

[brazen turtle]

Tequila also has two sp bar to overcharge his skill

[ancient lintel]

Or it gets stupidly easy

[raven harbor]

teq also has 0 block till skill use right?

[ancient lintel]

Ye

[fathom nest]

It's the archetype trait

[safe tundra]

thats on me. i tend to overestimate someone when the game environment has changed to be harder id be thinking the powercreep shouldnt be that severe

[raven harbor]

great then i can just apply what i learned so far.

[astral bear]

most story content is very easy especially to people with developed rosters

the only challenging stuff is maybe like h stages

[brazen turtle]

His s2 is more narrow and smaller than Mlynar and hits only 2 people unless you overcharge the skill (for a total of 40 sp) then its 3 people

[ancient lintel]

We'll get ccb4 soon and I'll find out if I have skill issue or not (pretty sure I do lol)

[safe tundra]

same way youd swear phantom looked so strong pre-texas because enemies were so sorry to start with

[hollow sparrow]

pallas used to have the best guard skill

[brazen turtle]

Hell if you cut down one range from every side of Mlynar's s3 except the back, you get tequila's s2 range

[raven harbor]

thats good enough, i found Mlynar's range kinda bullshi

[safe tundra]

yeah well its a 5* compared to a 6*. mlynar would be in whole lot worse position had he not received better treatment

[south glacier]

honestly i dont think phantom was even that strong on release
lowkey red s1 killed everything phantom could kill in that day and age 😭
the only thing i ever really used him for was to max risk an old cc

[brazen turtle]

Indeed, its just funny to me that Mlynar is literally twice the man Tequila will ever be

[south glacier]

when texalter came out it was just hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

[astral bear]

with module probably 4x the man

[brazen turtle]

A man in a scabbard even

[safe tundra]

[raven harbor]

wait so i can just use an overleveled logos and completely afk for the most part?

[safe tundra]

the current state of meta allowed you so

[hollow sparrow]

i fear help might be raising a skill issue child here

[raven harbor]

i come from limbus, i will read.....eventually

[brazen turtle]

That's not very, ideal

[ancient lintel]

His best skill is s3, but ye s1 is a must for afk enjoyers

[stiff elm]

hello i had a question, does the free limited unit after 300 pull consume the data contracts or am i allowed to buy another limited operator from the shop

[safe tundra]

last time i tried reading they were missing description ingame and had to go to wiki
-# thank you playwright

[raven harbor]

meh just hand me to some insane boss, after a few tries of losing ill get motivated to read lmao

[brazen turtle]

It doesnt consume the contract

[wind mason]

Should I borrow a medic for this downtown? My medics do not have enough range or health to defend all units ,If so who should I borrow? Mon3tr?

[patent lantern]

question: is it worthwhile to farm the loxic kohl stage on Path of Life if the only material I don't have in excess/enough of IS loxic kohl itself? or is the efficiency for it horrendous regardless?

[safe tundra]

in all honesty you should be able to snipe everyone before anyone get to hurt your team

[fathom nest]

You should be having zero issue with that roster

[ancient lintel]

Ur getting healing checked by the turrets or invis dudes or what? Cause your squad can do this just fine

[south glacier]

yea ngl losing in gen content stops happening at a certain point, arknights right now is like get better and learn how to play, reach the point where u can p much first time every event and challenge, and then becoming dumber and dumber because you press the big glowing button instead of learning mechanics

[brazen turtle]

Ptilo on top should cover two land and Silence should cover the bottom just fine, if theres anyone who needs burst healing then ptilo plus silence drone should be enuff

[ancient lintel]

She doesnt know about the existence of mandragora

[safe tundra]

then entire IS gamemode will spank you to read

[brazen turtle]

Actually if you ever get to floor 5 in is better pull the goddamn wiki

[wind mason]

I know ,But still somehow I can't keep them all alive . Specially because of the torrents from far away.

[south glacier]

just make sure you deploy a brick last to defend your topside medic, if your issue is the arts drones killing your team

[ancient lintel]

And yea intergrated stratergies will force you to read, cause there's a fck ton of mechanics and relics that do different things

[atomic minnow]

do i m3 ulpi S2 and S3?

[brazen turtle]

Yessir

[wind mason]

Noted.

[raven harbor]

idk its funny to put someone with insane attack speed next to exu and when she pops S2 she becomes a machinegun

even funnier that no mob ive encountered so far could tank more than 2 shots from my exu

[atomic minnow]

which module lvl?

[fathom nest]

1

[wind mason]

Sure ,Wdym by brick btw?

[brazen turtle]

I dont own module and he's already broken for me

[fathom nest]

Whatever aspd the other op has doesn't matter. She will always take 70

[safe tundra]

lmk if you reached ch7
-# ||she will still somehow breakthrough||

[ancient lintel]

Ur at ch3, wait till you meet DR bosses or high def bosses

[south glacier]

pretty much anybody that can tank well, you could drop them in front of your high ground to defend from the bolts, or in the middle to block if your high ground is suriviving the bolts okay

[brazen turtle]

Whoever is toughest on your team, imo bulkwise, Tequila should be the one taking the brunt of the drones

[raven harbor]

oh so thats why one of my ops that had slow attack speed became a grandma?

[fathom nest]

Yes

[south glacier]

i am pretty sure he still dies in a mag

[fathom nest]

But they aren't slow because of aspd, but because of attack interval

Every op has 100 aspd by default

[ancient lintel]

Not in his phase 1 I think
Phase 1 he's tanky af

[raven harbor]

well i did forget to mention one thing....Exu is P3 if it changes anything

[safe tundra]

i however could imagine someone tell you to borrow tragodia to permastall if damage stops working

[brazen turtle]

Potential don't do muxh

Except for ultra tight clears

[ancient lintel]

The stage gives you trip mines bruh, just use them

[raven harbor]

good to know, not wasting resources on dupes then right

[fathom nest]

For Exu her p3 talent upgrade is a decent chunk of extra damage

[south glacier]

with no mines is diabolical, cm 😭

[safe tundra]

[south glacier]

thats actually so sad man

[ancient lintel]

Damn he's still mowed down like that in phase 1?

[safe tundra]

thats 90% what mineless mod3 ceobe could do

[south glacier]

without 100% of the restrictions and niche

[hollow sparrow]

exu2 > ceobe
who would’ve guessed

[ancient lintel]

Ah he has 1k5 DEF, make sense why exu can just brute force that mineless lol

[safe tundra]

[brazen turtle]

Now mess up the last knight with him

[south glacier]

well well well
2025 vs 2020

[brazen turtle]

Her*

[ancient lintel]

"Increase DEF by 200%" sounds scary until I see his initial DEF is 500

[topaz panther]

Optimal to level up Tragodia to 88 and Level 2 module for the 565 attack right

[hollow sparrow]

yes

[lone valley]

Wtf weeb
Why are u such a shit blue as well

[hollow sparrow]

i got removed for inactivity

[safe tundra]

weeboo free from suffering like kratos

[raven harbor]

should i restrict my usage of exu to make stuff more challanging?

[lone valley]

Youre free🥹

[proven kelp]

Now stand up against the gods

[hollow sparrow]

if only i got slow mode immunity as part of my severance

[raven harbor]

12 dp unit that mows down everything seems a lil unfair to use..

[ancient lintel]

Ur new so I wouldnt recommend handicaping yourself like that, just enjoy the game for now, until you learn enough to be a masochist and do d18 relicless or somethin

[lone valley]

We dont really care
Use what u want

[safe tundra]

we have too many unfair operators lately

[brazen turtle]

That will be up to you, using broken units will certainly save cost on developing other units

[raven harbor]

ah so im not losing too much by being babysat by broken units early...?

[brazen turtle]

Until you hit a wall and realized oh shuckaroonies I can't outdamage something that has lengthy invul, or i cannot hit to lifesteal

[hollow sparrow]

i mean
easier option would be to stop borrowing mlynar

[brazen turtle]

It's a lifetime investment, even if you get better units itll pay off in Integrated strategies to level 3 star grunts

[ancient lintel]

Oh I cant do unga bunga dmg cause these things require high hit count

[fathom nest]

If you want to make the game challenging just pick a niche to play

[safe tundra]

ft. rechord

[raven harbor]

oh no im just scared that i may not understand some game mechanics cuz i can just brute force tf out of them

[astral bear]

his niche is being poor

[raven harbor]

any map where exu can cover all the blue points is just a instant, 0 brain power win

[safe tundra]

i should try using wulfenite although i 100% know shes just dorothy

[fathom nest]

That's fine. There are other game modes to force you into learning mechanics

[ancient lintel]

Ah you'll be forced to learn stage mechanics soon

[raven harbor]

at least so far

[brazen turtle]

Well its no projectmoon so theres not too many fluff passives, everything you read is necessary stuff

[gleaming sigil]

is it safe to upgrade at least 1 dormitory for the pinboard mission then just downgrade them later on to have power for the training room?

[hollow sparrow]

unless you’re a y0-1 op

[raven harbor]

but a certain game did teach me to not underestimate content just because im using strong stuff

[safe tundra]

the optimal angle would be ignoring pinboard mission altogether

[raven harbor]

any stages i should be aware of and prepare for? like, soon to be reached?

[safe tundra]

beside if you already build TR how are you gon remove the power lol

[gleaming sigil]

i havent built the training room yet

[brazen turtle]

Chapter 5 has a rush stage iirc

[ancient lintel]

You can ye, just downgrade it later

[raven harbor]

executor and exu have brainrotted me, they are too strong

[ancient lintel]

5-3 yea
And then 7-9 iirc

[brazen turtle]

The slow drone with slugs

[gleaming sigil]

thank you for confirming!

[raven harbor]

i think i met a few of these, they were annoying

[brazen turtle]

And some stages where exu can't cover all area at once due to multiple blue box

[raven harbor]

also for executor, S1 or S2?

[ancient lintel]

Just dont upgrade stuff on the right, get your training room and workshop to max level and ignore office + reception

[ancient lintel]

Is s3 and option?

[fathom nest]

If you mean the sniper, kick him from your squad

[raven harbor]

working on it...

[ancient lintel]

Fedex wants s3

[raven harbor]

executor the ex foedere

[safe tundra]

[fathom nest]

Can use s2 for the time being

[raven harbor]

wait his other skills are dog? he felt super strong till now too

[fathom nest]

You're still very early in the game. Most 6 stars will feel great

[raven harbor]

fair enough

does he fall off later or something like that?

[humble nova]

They’re removing these? Why? Is this normal?

[brazen turtle]

Should have been Kernels since theyre old

[ancient lintel]

They annouced that these will be out of standard since ulpi banner, but nope

[fathom nest]

They were supposed to be moved earlier but Yostar fucked up

[ancient lintel]

Common yostar L fr fr

[fathom nest]

JP/KR still haven't said anything about them moving either so I'm skeptical

[safe tundra]

were they affected from this too

[humble nova]

Ah I see, so the removed characters can only be obtained if they are featured in banners?

[fathom nest]

No?

They're just old ops

[ancient lintel]

They still havent changed the event title 💀
Ch15 still looks whacky af man

[raven harbor]

how are the later stages of the story like? im enjoying it so much so far...i love good stories.

i hate nikke but i keep playing for the story alone

[humble nova]

So they are gonna be completely gone from the game in no way of obtainment?!

[fathom nest]

They're moved to kernel

[safe tundra]

the listed operators are supposed to be relegated from standard pool into k*rnel pool

[humble nova]

Ohhhhh

[ancient lintel]

Eh the lore is good imo

[hollow sparrow]

too much yap for me tbh

[safe tundra]

but for the case of tragodia and ulpian banner they stayed in standard pool so if you offrated in their banner you may got a fucking k*rnel operator

[ancient lintel]

#ak-lore for more info on character backgrounds or main story n other lore related things

[raven harbor]

i dont mind the yap ehe esp if its a character i like, keep spittin yo shi vro

[fathom nest]

They never mentioned anything about them being moved during the first time it was supposed to happen either. Yostar ninja-edited the original posts to remove that information after people called them out when they were pulling the ops on Ulpianus' banner

[safe tundra]

evil ass corp deadass

[small stream]

Should obtain Overclocked Cat or Best Bro?

[fathom nest]

Neither

[safe tundra]

none

[proven kelp]

C. None of the above

[knotty wave]

none

[abstract mauve]

❌

[raven harbor]

one of my friends told me frostnova will be a stage i should struggle on...

[safe tundra]

you shouldnt

[ancient lintel]

U shouldnt

[abstract mauve]

the weakest op of today 1 shots her

[small stream]

My best Laneholder is the another kitty (mountain), really shouldn't get any?

[knotty wave]

thats 2020 mindset, youre at 2025 now. You steamroll FN

[humble nova]

Which op is that

[raven harbor]

does she survive 35 exualt bullets?

[hollow sparrow]

no

[abstract mauve]

no lmao

[humble nova]

She ded ☠️

[abstract mauve]

wisadel or so i've been told

[small stream]

. . . Alright I guess, THX for the info.

[raven harbor]

with this treasure i summon....america

[humble nova]

Wisadel weakest op today?!? huh..

[safe tundra]

this is ril, i think

[raven harbor]

i wanna get the wheelchair girl just so i can have all 3 of them in the team

dunno if its a good ideea but oh well

[humble nova]

Lemuen is good 👍

[safe tundra]

wait whos the sinister 3rd option?

[humble nova]

Hopefully wisadel, cuz putting those three together is monstrous

[raven harbor]

exualt, executor and cool wheelchair girl whose name i forgor

[humble nova]

Mmmm..

[hollow sparrow]

laterano quartet

[raven harbor]

wait dont E2 Exu buff ammo ops?

[safe tundra]

well she does but negligible enough

[hollow sparrow]

it’s not a huge buff

[dire hatch]

what Bagpipe skill do i M3?

[hollow sparrow]

3

[fathom nest]

The best part about it is it buffs herself

[raven harbor]

monkey neuron activation, i'd have 3 units with ammo

[humble nova]

I think almost every laterno op buffs each other at least based off from exalter and lemuen etc

[eternal spruce]

is freya any good for a f2p caster

[fathom nest]

Who?

[humble nova]

Sankta, Chenalter are also decent ammo pick users and executor alter is a good laneholder and could be a boss killer

[eternal spruce]

Kreja sorry lmao long day at work

[safe tundra]

ok no for that

[eternal spruce]

i actually geeked thx

[hollow sparrow]

use steward or click until you can pull a better caster

[raven harbor]

well until i hit an offrate for those two, it will have to be exu and exe

[eternal spruce]

yeah i use click just figured cause im trying for silverash modyle

[mental ledge]

Can someone help with a team idea to clear this lvl?

[safe tundra]

do you actually have not a single 6*

[shadow bay]

where ur dps?

[mental ledge]

I started yesterday

[humble nova]

Yeah thats what i wanna say

[safe tundra]

yes you can get them right away

[mental ledge]

How

[raven harbor]

who can i replace for tequila?

[humble nova]

Pull ✨

[mental ledge]

With what

[wheat flare]

by pulling on the newbie banner?

you get enough for a newbie 10 pull from the mail

[wind mason]

Can anyone tell who could help me this stage? 9-12 , there's only one placable block close to the blue box , There's too many enemies that no units of mine can block .

[ancient lintel]

Use the pillars

[mental ledge]

I used them on another banner

[sonic rose]

can i do?

[fathom nest]

Rerolling is always an option

[humble nova]

It should tell you, this is like basic 101, but uh the beginner banner basically gives free 6 star gamba, and cheaper cost too (as in pull investment)

[mental ledge]

?

[ancient lintel]

Here's a hint, you can break 2 pillars and force them to go all the way around, figure out which 2

[wind mason]

I tried but can't do it in time somehow,They gather enough enemies before it.

[fathom nest]

Make new accounts in an attempt to have a better start

[humble nova]

Rerolling is the act of creating multiple guest accounts and pulling till u get the account u want, then bind it.

[mental ledge]

Oh, idk what i rlly want so i dont see the point

[fathom nest]

Right now you go for Ulpianus

[ancient lintel]

Stats checked or somethin then cause you should be able to break 2 pillars before anyone reaches you, or if u dont then just hold them off for a while when breaking pillars

[humble nova]

You can pull for Ulpianus, also offrates exist, chances u might get logos or other strong units.

[eternal spruce]

theres a good beginner’s guide pinned which i followed

[raven harbor]

i can replace nightmare with tequila right?

[hearty geyser]

or blaze alter (know from experience)

[fathom nest]

Easily

[eternal spruce]

helped alot if y dont know what to do or want ita under Pinned

[fathom nest]

Nightmare is balls

[raven harbor]

bet

[mental ledge]

Is there a soft pt ?

[fathom nest]

I sincerely hope you're joking

[fathom nest]

Doesn't kick in until after 50 pulls but yes

[safe tundra]

nope shes a girl

[sonic rose]

i actually gave this a try already but i couldnt handle top and bottom lane very well, also my units were taking damage randomly somehow

[hearty geyser]

i didnt mean it in a good way getting blaze alter is the bad part of offrates

[turbid ocean]

outdated guide

[humble nova]

Pity doesnt rlly exist, however some standards have a hard pity thing where ur guaranteed it after a large amount of pulls or shorter if u pull offrates.

But 6 star chance increases by2% after 50 pulls

[turbid ocean]

http://imgur.com/Nm5VR13

[mental ledge]

Should i use originite prime to roll?

[turbid ocean]

@eternal spruce updated one

[mental gull]

Light, CHeck my krooster

[humble nova]

Thats their main use, that or for outfits, so yes

[ancient lintel]

It's still the same though or did you tweak it a bit?

[turbid ocean]

cuz people were struggling to find ST

[turbid ocean]

kk

[mental gull]

what advice ya giving now?

[fathom nest]

I would highly suggest rerolling if you're not opposed to it. Chances of getting him with so few pulls is very low

[safe tundra]

theres more info

[humble nova]

Just in case, look in pins and look at outfit planner or skin planner (idk which link) if u wanna see what the upcoming outfits are if ur interested to what unit you plan for or have

[safe tundra]

[turbid ocean]

ok you're good on alot of prio stuff just want to finish masteries on your 6*
Trag wants lvl 88 + mod2 too
For next operator to build, it depends on how rich you are

Do you have the krooster.com planner set up?

[humble nova]

I also suggest rerolling, its a 50/50 chance to get him when pulling a six star.
That or an offrate

[mental ledge]

I dont like skins so i domt see the point

[eternal spruce]

yep this works im on day 15 and gotten all of this and was able to e2 l40 silverash + have like 14-15 ops at l1 40 its spot on

[turbid ocean]

I would make a guide on how to set up krooster.com planner but dont have the time

[harsh bear]

yo is surtr still woth it?

[turbid ocean]

also see the pins for the squad building guide

[mental ledge]

I dont have that many gmail accounts and im lazy to do more than 2 :3

[humble nova]

Counter argument, they make performance look better, but i guess thats all preference aside.
Just letting u know cuz ik some people including me wished we had knew about upcoming outfits to save OP

[safe tundra]

mid

[ancient lintel]

Nah

[turbid ocean]

to pull for? no
for the upcoming free selector? sure
to build? depends on how new you are

[humble nova]

For arknights u dont have to create new gmails

Method :

1. create guest account
2. Pull
3. Delete account in setting
4. Make new guest account
5. If u like the account, bind it

[raven harbor]

oh we have a free selector coming up? what units are in there

[harsh bear]

to build yeah
i lack good melee tiles operators, i have only degenbracher for that

[turbid ocean]

theres a guide in the pins that you can reference btw

[turbid ocean]

Surtr Bagpipe Saria Eyja1

[mental ledge]

Ok

[humble nova]

Im to lazy to redirect it on phone rn and i havent seen the reference myself so ima just assume i simplified it

[turbid ocean]

lets see your squad

you dont necessarily need to have melee if your ranged ops are broken

[mental ledge]

Isnt lappland a dps?

[fathom nest]

Semi

[turbid ocean]

She doesn't do enough damage but sure

[wheat flare]

the random damage is probably from the crossbows on the right, they spawn gradually throughout the stage

also unless you know what youre doing, grow your ops a little more before doing downtown tbh

[small stream]

Wait, shouldn't 🍎 🥧 include as from there too? Is a bad translation? Otherwise she isn't worthy to set at LMD farms.

[fathom nest]

Base skills go off of their original, she's penguin

[turbid ocean]

Dual faction dont matter for base?

[small stream]

Bloody hell . . . Well, THX for the clarification.

[fathom nest]

I don't believe so

[turbid ocean]

Well why dont you put it in and check the math

its literally right there

[tired pewter]

RIIC faction and gameplay factions are totally different. it's a nightmare
for instance, alters are their own faction in RIIC

[mental ledge]

So, then there is no point to pull for another dps for now

[turbid ocean]

uh not how that works

[sonic rose]

im guessing i should raise saria and ulpianus first?

[turbid ocean]

show your roster

[mental ledge]

Roster?

[humble nova]

You always want dps the more the better

[fathom nest]

@turbid ocean

[humble nova]

Roster as in your collection (of characters in this case)

[mental ledge]

Understood

[small stream]

I did, and since Adnachiel only increases it by 10%, with alter beginning from 0 to 15% or 30%, it's not worth replacing the team by her, perhaps if more characters from her faction are released and have better base slaves skills.

[mental gull]

what will happen in dec. 11?

[turbid ocean]

You want DPS, your current DPS is non existent

Some sort of update/maint

Wait for #game-news

[wheat flare]

mainly ulpi
catapult is also fine for downtown, replace pinecone
get a better healer too ig
you can also just borrow

[mental ledge]

She is fine as a dps ?

[turbid ocean]

shes only anti air doesnt do much actual damage

can you just send a screen shot of your 6* / 5* by sorting rarity

[mental ledge]

I dont know how to only show 5/6 *

[turbid ocean]

thats fine, no 6*?

[mental ledge]

Yes

[turbid ocean]

Open to rerolling>

[mental ledge]

I didnt rolled on the begining banned

[turbid ocean]

Dont reroll on that banner

its all kind of bland

would reroll for Ulpianus

(starting new accounts to abuse free beginner orundum)

[copper schooner]

why did my game crash and kill my is run

[fathom nest]

If you're in a stage you lose if the game closes

Just how it works

[copper schooner]

is this common?

[fathom nest]

Crashing? No

[mental ledge]

Arent you geting 3800 gems or whatever are they called, so how can you reroll if a 10 pull is 6000?

[turbid ocean]

Depends on your machine /decice

[wheat flare]

you do singles

[turbid ocean]

Yes you do 6 pulls

Maybe 7

[copper schooner]

idk maybe too many enemies spawn

[mental ledge]

;//

[fathom nest]

You get more pulls in if you just do singles

Takes too long to get enough OP for a multi

[mental ledge]

I cant see the fun doing this but ok

[fathom nest]

It's not meant to be fun. You do it so you don't struggle so badly later on

[turbid ocean]

Well more so you have easier time early on

[young glacier]

There is no fun to be had in Rerolling and IS3

[copper schooner]

are guard good in is5?

[turbid ocean]

Mlynar Hoederer Ulpianus are the go tos

Hoederer terms and conditions apply (lamp of wishes)

Ulpianus too technically

[mental ledge]

I only try this 1 or 2 times

[turbid ocean]

If you do reroll you can also make a few better choices on beginner selectors too

Guide for that in the pins

You don't have to reroll no ones forcing you

Just very nice to have

[eternal spruce]

you are on day 2 but given your current roster and the way this, and many gacha games are, you are going to struggle alot to get your first 6*. However, if you re-roll account you lose on very little progress but can do the beginner banner whcih is less pulls, get a 6 * and progress your account alot

yeha rerolling is totally optional but the recommended thing here because if nit you are going to have to wait to get enough orondum to MAYBE get a 6*. This game is alot around resource/sanity management if you are F2P

[median fable]

and Silverash

[mental ledge]

I can pull on beginner banner from the first acc but ok

[turbid ocean]

Ngl mostly just GVG pick

[haughty hornet]

what should I invest on to make my team stronger

[eternal spruce]

You aren’t wrong, you can play the game however you want! These are just recommendations to answer your initial question which was that you were struggling on a level or something

[brazen turtle]

No fliers for most of the floors

[median fable]

yeah, but I thought it was worth to mention

[turbid ocean]

Yeah but then it’s like a any decent dps goes lol

[brazen turtle]

Unless you get ones with hover dudes or the one with bazookas and missile drones

[turbid ocean]

Oh I misread the question

It’s “are” not “any”

[eternal spruce]

also good to note this game is on year 7 so obviously some year 0 operators or redudant and from a resource management perspective, not worth investing in if you are interested in progressing your account faster

You will start noticing maxing/leveling up characters takes alot of time (and days) so you have to be somewhat strategic with what you do

[humble nova]

Is stainless good?

[fathom nest]

atk buff/10

[young glacier]

Support (Yes, awkward to say that Supporter archetype has those). S1M3 is potential +96% ATK singel target. S2 is SP fueling in case you need that for someone else idk. S3 usage is limited by your imagination - Offensive recovering build up? 36% (20% x 2) Physical DR stacking (Stacks with Gladiia/Shelter)? Chain caster extend core? Skadi Alter S3 dual wielding menace?

[brazen turtle]

He's practical and fun

[humble nova]

Oh, that sounds really fun

[turbid ocean]

Borrow him and try it first

[mental ledge]

Somehow i ender up with more 5 star than the other account

[humble nova]

You can do more trust the process 👊

[copper schooner]

I feel like I should upgrade some 4 stars for is
