help

[robust thistle]

because you cant get the other endings if you havent cleared the previous one

[tidal pond]

oh i see

[robust thistle]

or was that IS4, forgor

[bitter anvil]

IS4 still can, I have only cleared end1, end 2 and 4 I encountered and failed

[undone portal]

is5 does allow ed2 immediately i believe

[mental ledge]

is vigil good?

[robust thistle]

Oh right forgot ed2 is from F2

[hollow sparrow]

yeah basically
main distinction is whether it’s a 6* you’d get at all costs or a 6* who you still want but would be fine skipping

[dusk cobalt]

any mastery/mod recommendations? here's my krooster
https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/roo

[hollow sparrow]

mlynar mod3 and ascalon mod1 are the main ones sticking out to me

silverash mod3 is good but it depends on if you use him at all

[dusk cobalt]

i rarely use him since i only ever used him for the invis reveal (but i already have ines)

[dusk cobalt]

which mod for ascalon btw

[crisp dawn]

X

[dusk cobalt]

yeah i just checked mod y, makes sense

[hollow sparrow]

also do ange/ros is mods if you play is
ange s3 ros s2 too

[dusk cobalt]

oh then ill look into that since i plan to play is5 after being gone for a long while

[hollow sparrow]

hoederer is good in is5 if you plan on playing a lot

[dusk cobalt]

which skills to m3?

[hollow sparrow]

s1

[dusk cobalt]

hmm alright thank you!

[hollow sparrow]

is5 lets you stack aspd easily and s1 scales well with that

[tender sleet]

Module? Or that is skip

[lone valley]

Mod1 is fine, sure

[wind mason]

What sidestory stage do we have to do for leizi alter's mod?

[coarse notch]

dv-7

[wind mason]

Alright,Thanks .

[pale trail]

After their first reruns do limited operators get anymore reruns

[ancient current]

limited ops don't rerun

they just get added as siderates in their respective limited banner pools

[pale trail]

So when Dei Velluti gets a rerun, alter lapp will be a siderate?

[ancient current]

when her event will rerun, there won't be a limited banner

[pale trail]

Im not understanding what you mean then

[ancient current]

check pins for limited banner pools

it may help

[mental gull]

can anyone check my krooster in my bio and tell me which operators are best for IS?

[unkempt pollen]

which IS?

[turbid ocean]

Wouldn't build specific operators for IS unless you want to dedicate time to playing those IS

[mental gull]

hmmm... Sarkaz, Expeditioner, and mizuki

[turbid ocean]

For general, several 3* for IS2-4: Spot Ansel Orchid Kroos Fang Steward

IS5: Gummy Click Beanstalk May Deepcolor Ethan (E2)
E1 max is fine for everyone here 3* and 4* alike
Ethan goes to E2+S2M3+mod3 though

[unkempt pollen]

ok 3-5

[lone valley]

-2

[unkempt pollen]

i mean just gummy click and maybe ethan for is5, aside from that there’s not much else you can do but play better

[mental gull]

so we use lower rarity operators for IS.. makes sense.. 6 stars always cost a lot of hope

[turbid ocean]

5* are mostly used when you know what they are doing

their cost in hope is high and its hard to justify unless you also know what you are doing

your 6* draft prio tends to just be your best DPS too, atleast when learning

[unkempt pollen]

with how few (built) 6* you have you’ll likely end up drafting most if not all of them in a lot of your runs but don’t let that convince you that you need to start building 5*

[turbid drum]

Coming back to ask for help! What should I do now?

https://krooster.com/u/chiro10

[lone valley]

Build base slaves

[restive crown]

Is Tragodia's s2 considered a summon?

[golden cedar]

https://www.krooster.com/u/jamong

Yay. I made my profile.

[lone valley]

Yesnt

Its bit weird

[umbral nexus]

Are any of those worth leveling?

[restive crown]

I'm doing an IS3 run and was wondering if the summon-stats-boosting collectible I got affected Tragodia or nah

[unkempt pollen]

degenbrecher maybe, she’s kinda a one trick pony though (click button, kill things, wait 30s, repeat) ft possibly for base but it doesn’t look like you need her, irene and stainless are forgettable

[lone valley]

Afaik ye, IS summin relics work
But shit like ente s2 doesnt
Its kinda weirdge

[unkempt pollen]

yes it counts, you can check this way in an operators profile

[restive crown]

Oh alright

[unkempt pollen]

the button will appear/disappear depending on the skill for some operators as well (tragodia, silence, etc.)

[restive crown]

Honestly even with that description I wouldn't know what to make of it, but thanks for the tip

[unkempt pollen]

ex.

[stark thistle]

I havent played in ages are the new IS themes more worth than old ones?

[unkempt pollen]

i just mean that the fact that the button is there means the game considers it to be a “summon”

[lone valley]

Mods! Hes flexing!!

[daring vigil]

They give similar rewards

[unkempt pollen]

nop my sexu is p1 so she sucks balls

[restive crown]

Got it

[stark thistle]

ty! I checked the IS channel but I couldnt find any guides on the older IS. Do they exist?

[lone valley]

What a garbage human being

[ancient current]

drop this atp

[daring vigil]

Just borrow wis and you should be fine

[stark thistle]

o, ive just been using ela and SA and shu

[daring vigil]

Wisadel is really strong while also ignoring a lot of threats with her camo

[cinder hearth]

Hello chat, what is the conclusion of Ray ModX vs ModY, and also M3 mod considering the +10% atk.
I have a guess but I'm not certain.

[quick jolt]

new mod does more dmg but personally i like the modX sandbeast buffs more

[unkempt pollen]

i also only have a guess which is that mody encourages more of a “use skill at 8 ammo for (supposedly) more damage” while modx is the more consistent and reliable mod
light did some maths and testing tho so maybe ask him when he’s on

[lone valley]

Dmg vs cycle

I habe her mod3 already
Mod in 6 months, not relevant enough to get her mod6

[unkempt pollen]

ela should be a fine carry for most of the old IS, though yeah it wouldn’t hurt to bring another top tier at the start, esp if your roster is lacking

[cinder hearth]

If I do go for ModY lv2 is fine, right?

[turbid ocean]

ModY (83K) without sandbeast (72K) does almost identical damage to ModX with it (74K)

[unkempt pollen]

wao how broken

[lone valley]

So barely any diff, roger

[quick jolt]

i save my mod blocks

[turbid ocean]

Depends on what you are doing

if its IS5 with high ASPD, her reload is a problem, so ModX can win

[cinder hearth]

I'll wait then tbh, 4 less mod blocks and better off-sandbeast numbers is more tempting.

How about M3 mod? The numbers were higher than I thought

[unkempt pollen]

is this assuming 8 ammo start or…?

[turbid ocean]

8

10 bullets fired

[unkempt pollen]

heh… imagine no aspd breakpoint

[turbid ocean]

ModX and Y don't seem to change much for how many are fired but maybe im doing something wrong

This is your chance to prove me fraudulent

And let me be lazy

[unkempt pollen]

didnt you say it was 6?

[turbid ocean]

👍

6 ASPD on ModY

🥹

[quick jolt]

we dont need to prove it light

[unkempt pollen]

yeah that’s so piss idt she’s getting another shot off just based off of intuition

[turbid ocean]

no proof

[turbid ocean]

well shes only reloading one at a time here

[lone valley]

From math i did mod3 gives her 6.7k more total dmg to s3
So about a 14.2% increase

[turbid ocean]

something tells me im wrong to think theres no difference but it could just be that ass

[lone valley]

But her s2 healing got quite a massive buff i refuse to math

[unkempt pollen]

i mean modx just reloads once for 2 bullets and skill ends halfway through second reload which is a decent amount of time

[turbid ocean]

Nevermind im not wrong 8*1.6 + 0.4 + 1.6 = 14.8

1.2 seconds of leeway is enough to reload and fire

[unkempt pollen]

10 shots makes sense for mody

[turbid ocean]

with the little extra ASPD definitely helps

[golden cedar]

Are we able to obtain operator Misery for free anytime soon?

[ancient current]

no

[turbid ocean]

Thats not really an operator

[quick jolt]

not playable

[golden cedar]

Oh....

[ancient current]

he was only in stronghold protocol no?

[cinder hearth]

Her s2 number improvements assuming it gets all 3 targets look kinda crazy given all the reductions to healing loss.

[golden cedar]

🫡 👍

[unkempt pollen]

wha ghost ping i closed discord for 2 seconds

[lone valley]

Too slow

[cinder hearth]

It also just buffs atk better so like ion saying no to that. Guess she's mod3. Rip blocks.

[lone valley]

Oh
Im dumb, i see
I did monster s3 math wrong
Whatever, take like 1k dmg off of my math

Cuz i mathed it like u have her construct next to her thru entire s3 duration
But u cant have that

Can only for the final 10~s
Oh well, its a diluted buff anyway

[cinder hearth]

I use her for s2 mainly anyways

Also, just to confirm Nasti s2 is kinda ass right

I was trying to napkin math her numbers and got absolute slop.

[lone valley]

Idk
Outside of her gimmicky s3 high tile creation, she looks kinda ass to me

[austere wagon]

dorothy or irene,?

[lone valley]

Neither..

[austere wagon]

ok im skip

[stark gulch]

it seems like units on the created high tile are stronger? from a tiny amount of gameplay i saw

[cinder hearth]

Up to +60% hp, +60% atk

Or is it x1.6? I forgot, this is actually rather important too.

[stark gulch]

seems not bad

[lone valley]

Well, sure
But its just +60% atk that will get diluted by ops skills anyway
Outside of few exceptions perhaps

Exu, ray, eblana
Can make use of it i suppose but
Yk

[cinder hearth]

Exu2 probably is most notable use case imo.

[unkempt pollen]

narantuya fans crying

[lone valley]

[turbid ocean]

Why is Exu2 most notable when they are all attack scales

Exu2 is just strongest obviously

[crisp dawn]

Isn’t it 160%

[cinder hearth]

Whar

[lone valley]

No?

[crisp dawn]

Am I tripping

Oops

Maybe I am

[lone valley]

Thats to herself genius..

[cinder hearth]

That's herself.

[brave karma]

no news about leizi yet uh, what events are left before hoshi2 banner?

[lone valley]

Bonus of the tile, is written on the tile

[crisp dawn]

I think this should be accurate

[cinder hearth]

Read the tile part.

[crisp dawn]

Yeah I saw

[cinder hearth]

Anyways she seems good when needed but like most supporters, niche. I'll probably just borrow her if I need her instead of blowing pulls.

[echo venture]

nope. stay tuned at #game-news

[lone valley]

Mafu

[proven kelp]

Yahallo Fred

[median fable]

hi mafu

[proven kelp]

Yahallo JJ

[tidal pond]

What do I do with pledge of Babel for ending 2? Just carry it to the final boss?

[proven kelp]

Si
On the node just before the boss on f5 you can choose the 1st option and give it up for ed2

[median fable]

yeah, use it on the last prophecy node on f5

[vague lintel]

is crownslayer worth the investment if my only fast redeploy is texalt?

[ancient current]

no

[median fable]

nope, CS with the new module is at best a niche operator. And there is no need to raise another expensive fast redeploy operator if you have texalter except yato2

[misty lintel]

has anyone read nasti's kit

[median fable]

I did, you also can do it

[misty lintel]

i know. im on cn right now

whats your opinion

[median fable]

too early to have a definitive opinion, but it seems like she will be relegated to being a niche operator used in specific contexts

[misty lintel]

attack +160% and def +160% on s3. im wondering if thats talking about the operator on the placable thing

[frail thunder]

What’s the best choice for this?

[median fable]

save and use them when you are in dire need. Peter had a sheet with best mats ordered iirc

[frail thunder]

Any idea where I can find it?

[median fable]

it's +60% btw

[median fable]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WSEzjegLKeFXaOKPgpyNkw5vWQsa4woCQ8m2sm-UFQY/edit?gid=2112700769#gid=2112700769

[misty lintel]

s1 is the buff. and its 80% at m3

[median fable]

I got misinfoed, you're right

well, it's still niche overall

[subtle pecan]

How is Raidian?

[median fable]

oh no, that +60% was for the operator on the platform

[lavish monolith]

She is fine. Thanks for asking

[median fable]

the +160% was for nasti herself

[misty lintel]

ohhhhhhhhhh wish it was for the operator thats placed on the platform

[median fable]

meta in is6, outside of it she does summoner things

[median fable]

yeah, got a little confused in the translation

[somber coral]

listen I tried to do normal IS2 but I kind of failed how many floors are here

[misty lintel]

same. it wanst very clear and i got confised even though im chinese

[ancient current]

artificers known dps operators

[misty lintel]

the only is i like is is6.

[somber coral]

it's not even out

[median fable]

there are 5 floors, you only need to reach floor 3 for the monthly missions reward

[ancient current]

they play cn

[warm mauve]

question
if i pick Nuker + Sniper + Caster, will Leonhardt and Firewatch both be in the pool? does it work like that

[ancient current]

[somber coral]

you wanted me to get to deep investigation remember

[ancient current]

one tag will get crossed out and you'll get either

[median fable]

deep investigation has different objectives depending on the mission

[ancient current]

or all tags get crossed out and you explode

[warm mauve]

amazing

[somber coral]

yeah I kind of died at the last node

[warm mauve]

absolutely fantastic

[somber coral]

so I didn't unlock deep investigation

[median fable]

some are easy requirements, others are hard
check for mission that gives the mat you want but that are affordable

[median fable]

borrow Wisadel/Exusiai2, it should be pretty easy doing ending 1 that way

[somber coral]

why theres endings man I dont uh whatever you know I have wisadel

[median fable]

ending 1 is the "standard" ending that you'll get

depending on some actions during the run you can aim for other ones

[somber coral]

I died at the red mist stage it's at the floor 5 right?

defending 4 lines is difficult

[civic zinc]

is the upcoming week a blank week? No news on next event

[somber coral]

ins't next week when leizi alt comes

[civic zinc]

no idea, no in-game news

[median fable]

news are released like some days before the event drops, there is no need to think we'll have an entire dead week between Ulpi and Leizi2 event (if it's that we'll get)

also you can check wiki, more than that we can't tell you

[civic zinc]

yea, guess so, thanks

[median fable]

you don't need to block all laneholders, I'm pretty sure Wisadel can take care of 2/3 of them alone. Also, who are you drafting

[somber coral]

wisadel cannot do the middle line

unless I placed it wrong

[lavish monolith]

It wasnt difficult at all.
You just need to defend the mid lane. Then put heli drop on bot and top lane

[somber coral]

I placed my best laneholders on the other lines 💔

[warm mauve]

what do i do with this? save it for now?

[ancient current]

check pins

[warm mauve]

oeuah

[somber coral]

I mean if you dont want to gamble just save it yes

[civic zinc]

Use when you're rolling in the gacha

[warm mauve]

okay so from what i gathered, ulpianus isn't really my top choice right now. im saving

[somber coral]

hes not bad at all but next banners are cooler

[scenic apex]

is nasti limited? and i switched to 2-5-2 recently and i have 800 excess crude gold, is this normal?

[knotty wave]

shes not

[median fable]

one of the main point of using 252 is that it's more flexible that other counterparts
you have 2 fac for gold, 2 for exp and a flexible one
if you have an overproduction you can simply do 2 gold/3 exp factories

[undone portal]

building up gold excess is normal if youre running 3 gold factories and dont have proviso/shamare/tequila to process it fast enough. consider swapping to 2gold/3exp

[median fable]

or you can improve the trading posts by using better ops, we'll soon get a selector and you should chose Proviso from there in case you don't have her. She eats so much gold that it will disappear at a fast rate and 3 gold fac will be the only way to sustain her

[scenic apex]

should i e1 or e2 proviso just for base, im end game

[median fable]

e2 her, e1 doesn't improve her base skill (like 99% of the 6/5*)

[scenic apex]

ok thanks

[scenic apex]

also i see, im running 4 gold, so i should switch to 3 instead and 1 exp? (since im gaining excess)

[median fable]

wait, are you using a 252 layout?

[humble nova]

Which is easier to farm?

[scenic apex]

not really with like the min maxing, only with the factories, trading post, and power plants

[2 trading post, 4 factories, 2 powerplant]

[median fable]

check Peter sheet, I don't remember. /material in #bot-spam should give the link

[scenic apex]

is it wrong? 😩

[lavish monolith]

where the other 1 factory go?

[median fable]

yeah, since you have 9 total facilites on the left so you're missing sth

[undone portal]

youve got room to build 1 more

[scenic apex]

OMG im doing 2 -4 - 3, so i have 3 power plants

[median fable]

switch to a 252, better production overall. #r-i-i-c has in the pins a way to go from 243 to 252 in 80 seconds

[scenic apex]

ok

[humble nova]

okay I found which stages* better to farm, but the question was which material was the easier to farm since both have effiecency but no comparison from the sheet

[median fable]

you farm what you need

[humble nova]

im about to use vouchers so this is important

[median fable]

vouchers?

[humble nova]

Vouchers - Guaranteed given items of the materials

[median fable]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WSEzjegLKeFXaOKPgpyNkw5vWQsa4woCQ8m2sm-UFQY/edit?gid=2112700769#gid=2112700769
check this then

and Ik what a voucher is, I just didn't understand the implication

[humble nova]

ah

ok the /material thing may be outdated cuz chapter 14 stage seems cheaper by 3 sanity and rarity is tiered at "uncommon" which iirc is more common than "rare". for Oriron Clusters.

[warm mauve]

why does this keep showing up? is it important?
what's the difference between a regular token and a kernel token

[humble nova]

a dupe is a token for the specific character, the other token is a purchased one by the shop which can be used to dupe any character of that archetype and rarity

[scenic apex]

@median fable i feel really uncomfortable downgrading like everythhing, even my factories, is it that efficient?

[median fable]

I never bothered checking that, but you can ignore hg nomenclature. You can check penguin stats for actual sanity needed per material

[warm mauve]

ohhh, so kernel tokens are like.. universal?

[formal verge]

are underflow tokens worth it to buy?

[humble nova]

regardless u get returned materials 100% refund of downgrading em, except drones, which are accumulated currency over time

[median fable]

do you want the short version or the long one?

[scenic apex]

long

[humble nova]

if its gold and black its for 6 stars, if its pure gold its for 5 stars if its blue its for 4 stars (not sure what the lower ones are), but u also look at the symbol, so in this case yes its universal dupe, but u need like 4 of em to make one dupe (they are expensive somewhat)

[median fable]

did you buy during them during the original event? If yes buy again, if not skip

[scenic apex]

ye cos throughout the years everything's been maxed and now im gonn ahave perma lvl 2 stuff and dorm that not maxxed, feels really weird

can you sc your base if you dont mind, or anyone that has a proper 2-5-2

[humble nova]

wouldnt ulpi's event* have a rerun again sometime

[odd sky]

this is the rerun

[median fable]

pretty straightforward math
243 has:

• 6 tp worker slots
• 12 factory worker slots
• 3 pp worker slots
• 206% innate order efficiency (0% workers)
• 412% innate factory productivity (0% workers)
• 15% innate drone charge speed (0% workers)

252 MR (we'll use 2 lv3 tp version for simplicity) has:

• 6 tp worker slots
• 11 factory worker slots
• 2 pp worker slots
• 206% innate order efficiency
• 511% innate factory productivity
• 10% innate drone charge speed

can remove the tp stuff from equation and now we have:

• -1 factory worker
• -1 pp worker
• +99% factory productivity
• -5% drone charge speed (roughly equal to 2.5% fac prod)

which in turn means the combined productivity of your 12th best factory worker + 3rd best power plant worker has to equal 96.5% in order for 243 to match 252 MR. This is not and never will be the case even assuming you have e2'd every op in the game now and for the foreseeable future

[median fable]

not mine, I just copied and pasted it

[formal verge]

Oh I didn't
Which material should I buy with the excess currency then?

[frail thunder]

If it helps

[humble nova]

the infinite resources ig (after u buy headhunting permits, and all the materials though)

[scenic apex]

can you show th lvls please (building mode)

[formal verge]

Yeah but which infinite resouce

[median fable]

yeah, I also gave a 252 maxed right. Pls, trust me

[humble nova]

preference, make a planner

[formal verge]

Alr thanks

[median fable]

they are shown right there the levels

[odd sky]

manganese

[humble nova]

the levels are already shown wdym..?

[scenic apex]

true mb

[odd sky]

are you already max right

[scenic apex]

in the video i saw that he left 1 dorm at lvl 2, if i downgrade that, can i upgrade a factory to lvl 3?

or not enough energy

[odd sky]

not enough

[median fable]

here to you, so you can be sure I'm not trolling you

[scenic apex]

thanks, ive been very negligent when it comes to base

[odd sky]

jj have no peanuts sadge

[humble nova]

when is next CC?

[median fable]

it should be after Ato event if we follow CN

[scenic apex]

thanks man

[median fable]

the lv2 tp is only because I'm using Proviso btw. But you already said you have her so no problem

[scenic apex]

next step is doing presets again, yeah i just e2'd her

who do you run proviso with?

[median fable]

you can probably ask in #r-i-i-c , almost surely someone will help you (given enough time)
also start checking base combo file in their pins, even only the noob section as a starting point is nice

[odd sky]

your highest %

[scenic apex]

thanks

[median fable]

you use the best % worker you can pair her with, in my specific case i'm doing mr nothing but it's hard to replicate. During downtime it's Underflow

[cinder hearth]

I was gonna say something but I forgot most early/mid game players have ~30% as their best % so yeah she works.

[median fable]

from what he's said himself he's lategame player

[willow zodiac]

Any clue when would the next chance to rate-up Angelina?

[severe crypt]

idt we even illegally know that man

[cinder hearth]

You could use CN kernel banner order for a guestimate but even that isn't exactly reliable if I remember right.

[willow zodiac]

An approximate 6 months since last rate-up, or if next Kernel Locating could have her

That's usually how rate-up rotations end up going, to my knowledge

[severe crypt]

yeah we dont really follow cn kernel banners either

[cinder hearth]

On CN ange ran with SA as shoperator from 2025-09-18 to 2025-10-02.

She wasn't available in either CN kernel locator.

6 months is way too short as this is the kernel pool.

I remember she was available...2 kernel locators ago? 3?

[willow zodiac]

Yeah, Kernel pool is larger than Standard... I remember last time I calculated shoperator it was standard, not kernel, so 6 months difference might be too little

[odd sky]

and we have different kernel pool

[willow zodiac]

I didn't calculate it on CN banners at all

[odd sky]

well don't speculate here

[willow zodiac]

Mountain had been rate up 6 months prior, and was currently running shoperator. I then saw Kal'tsit had ran a bit after that, and when I expected her to, shoperator. But that was on Standard

[cinder hearth]

Anyways we don't know, and it's a bad idea to pull for her if she shows up and isn't shoperator, so just pray and sit tight.

[undone portal]

best you can even 'predict' is to just estimate from shop appearance time gaps, like nfzen does it. even still, not a reliable enough method to be following it to the letter

[topaz nacelle]

What do i pick

[undone portal]

debuff for shamare is the best choice in a vacuum
use krooster.com recruit calculator

[hearty geyser]

who should i invest in and should i focus on maxing exualt mod or getting mod for others

[topaz nacelle]

I have shamare, do i get her pot

[undone portal]

generally try to aim for someone you dont already have

[odd sky]

are you pulling leizi alter?

[hearty geyser]

idk probably yeah

[undone portal]

exualt mod3 isnt a bad idea
silverash gets a lot out of mod3, ascalon mod1 is good, ulpi mod1 is nice qol, thorns wants delta2

[cinder hearth]

Can someone remind me how much the effective DPS increase from Exualt mod1 to mod3 is?

[undone portal]

less drastic for s2 but still, its more dps on the meta st dps unit

[odd sky]

i'd do masteries if you haven't, then save for leizialt mats

[turbid ocean]

Better to look at total damage output difference

its like 7K or so between mod levels 1->2->3

not crazy but i feel like alot of people invest more for mods that don't do that much
though for exu herself, its not really high cuz shes already halfway through the ceiling

[hearty geyser]

whats mastery prio my exualt is s2m3 ulpi is s3m3

[pale tapir]

leizi aura farmer event date isn't confirmed yet correct?
can't find it in game news

[hearty geyser]

i should pull for leizialt if i dont have mlynar right?

[cinder hearth]

Not officially announced but has been datamined.

As per usual.

Check pins for pull prio, plan, see if you want or can even afford liezi alt with your pull plan.

[odd sky]

medic said the d-word

[cinder hearth]

I'll give you the d-word.

[idle finch]

Is Jaye a good base worker and should I e1 him for his base skill?

[keen fulcrum]

What makes Grey alter good for IS5

[odd sky]

flinger hand and aspd

[cinder hearth]

He's good. Leave e0 if for base

[undone portal]

hes good at e0, his e1 base skill actually makes him a bit worse unless youre also running gnosis in control center

[idle finch]

okay

[median fable]

1. yes, he's nicey in base especially if new player
2. unless you're using Gnosis you should leave him at e0

[cinder hearth]

Greyy also happens to have a reasonable talent. Chance to slow + aspd means essentially aoe permaslow.

[glossy pecan]

flinger hand, king set and lots of atkspd

[undone portal]

flinger hand is cracked and he brings a level of crowdcontrol through slow that wis/rosmo dont provide as easily

[shadow bay]

w8 we have day left after event before weekly reset yeh?

[knotty plank]

Which module should i get next

[cinder hearth]

Yes. Check wiki.

[shadow bay]

atleas give degen mod1

hmm idk about ray if the new module is better or the current one good enuf

[shadow bay]

ok neat my sense of time kinda lost atm tnx

[knotty plank]

[cinder hearth]

Imo Ray new mod is better in general content because even mod1 is an unconditional +13%, then mod2 is +8%.
It comes down to cycling your sandbeast and reload mechanic vs hitting harder.

[undone portal]

new mod has notably better dps. if you would rather just optimize her damage and can go without as much of the sandbeast utility, wait for it

[shadow bay]

no way a mod6 char 🥹

[granite cedar]

In who should i pour my resources into now? Do i go for silverash module even tho i don't use him? Level any module? I am in chapter 8 currently, and i hella struggled in r8-8

[cinder hearth]

Honestly I'd only mod2 Ray modY. Mod3 is minor stat buff and only +4%, half of mod3.

[undone portal]

mod.. 5?

[ancient lintel]

Me with my mod6 mudrock

[cinder hearth]

Most intelligent #helper when the regulars aren't on.

[shadow bay]

i have blemishine maxed beside the potentials dw 🥹

[granite cedar]

Help, idk who to pour my resources into, chapter 8 got me stressing

[undone portal]

get silverash mod3, not sure why you wouldnt use him at your current roster size
e2 ascalon/zuo le/dorothy

[frank wing]

If i e2 proviso for base, would she have utility in battle at all really?

[granite cedar]

If you had to say the priorities, could show it?

[undone portal]

proviso is basically a slightly better podenco, if that helps

[granite cedar]

Well, she deals arts dmg and silences in aoe

[undone portal]

shes also a very marginal mlynar buffer if youre bringing him

[frank wing]

Ok so ig she wouldnt be too helpful for me

[ancient lintel]

Zuo > asca > dorothy imo

[gentle barn]

New player here any tips on how to farm the gacha currency?

[median fable]

you should do it for base anyway. It's like looking at free money and say "nah, I hate money"

[undone portal]

zuo le > asca > dorothy = silverash mod

[ancient lintel]

Dailies + annihilation + weeklies
You get 5 pulls a week

[scenic apex]

lvl your saria or ptilopsis, and gladia

[median fable]

it's the only operator worth to e2 only for base for a reason

[gentle barn]

Thx

[ancient lintel]

There's also free pulls in cert shops, 4 in green certs and 38 in gold certs, make sure you have enough for all 38 pulls in gold certs tho cause it resets monthly

[gentle barn]

Oh ok how many gold certificates I need?

[undone portal]

its 258 gold certs for the full 38pull set

[gentle barn]

Is there any future units I'm supposed to look out for?

[ancient lintel]

[cinder hearth]

Pins, pull priority

[gentle barn]

Thank you

[copper oracle]

damn unfort

[hearty geyser]

whats the mastery priority my exu is s2m3 and ulpi is s3m3

[ancient lintel]

Asca > ines > sash/thorns

[median fable]

did you watch the video in loop for hours to come to this conclusion?
also, hi fib

[hearty geyser]

evenly or focus on mastery 3

[cinder hearth]

No CN sugar whales, bro just might be a fraud

[copper oracle]

no

[cinder hearth]

Fraud

[median fable]

understand him, he's an "average" player

[cinder hearth]

True, he really should be in #arknights

Anyways, early opinions on Skybox for 5* standards?

[granite cedar]

Question, where can i spend my sanity after cleaning event shop so my irl sanity and hair don't drop

[cinder hearth]

Blow it on infinite mats by further farming the event.

[granite cedar]

Chapter 8 got me stressing fr

[spare jetty]

skip to ch9

[cinder hearth]

Or just go to ch9 and farm the scrubs there, yeah.

[granite cedar]

And ruin my playing experience? Nonthx

[spare jetty]

ch9 is a different act

[cinder hearth]

Wait he's goated ❤️‍🩹

[cinder hearth]

It spoils some parts of ch8. I get it myself

[median fable]

heard sth like similar to Tequila, he does nth off skill and on skill similar dmg but aoe instead of multi target. Better ask shileds for this

[quaint valve]

Hey2, whats the use case for Mitm? Not for Dp i suppose?

[cinder hearth]

Stall.

[median fable]

stalling niche

[quaint valve]

Do we draft her on IS?

[cinder hearth]

Fun fact, if you ask what any tactician's niche is, the answer is at least partially stall.

[median fable]

him and I heard of some maps where he's great like hunting group

@copper oracle do you have more infos on Mitm IS usage?

[copper oracle]

walmart faust
end of list

[median fable]

well, don't bother unless you play like male only

[copper oracle]

hes copable in bsl too ig

[quaint valve]

Oh okay, thx!

Whats bsl?

[copper oracle]

[cinder hearth]

Big Sad Lock. The teddy bear.

[granite cedar]

Imma just do is runs with monthly squads and see who will be blessed

[violet kernel]

elemental recruitment tag really only has a robot?

[cinder hearth]

Yes

[copper oracle]

hi can i ask for ur pfp source 🚬

[cinder hearth]

It's technically Logos' Mom on VC, however, so allg.

[viscid plover]

Which one shoyld i upp

[violet kernel]

how much time do I put to get it

[copper oracle]

jess

[fathom nest]

3:50

[cinder hearth]

Fib, we cannot be asking for twink pics in public...💔🥀

Jessalt.

[cinder hearth]

To expand upon what socks said, too low and tag drops, too high and you get higher rarity. 3:50 is the sweet spot for robots, and even then there's a good chance the tag still drops or you get the wrong op.

[viscid plover]

Why tho

[cinder hearth]

Has her tactical shield which gives her a lot of flexibility, a controllable aoe stun on s3, passable DpH on s3.

Also not tied to enemies attacking her in order to deal damage, like Grandpa is on s3.

Gramps biggest claims to fame is a bit of ammo reload and resisting lethal damage on s2, which, uh, has a fat 50 SP.

[abstract mauve]

s2 resist lethal doesnt exist

[undone portal]

seeing clips of skybox s1 immediately activating again after landing kills, is this intentional? its not written in his kit as far as i can tell

[cinder hearth]

Bug

[abstract mauve]

errr. what. send clips

didnt witness that fucking around with him

his s1 lowkey abyssmal dogshit

[cinder hearth]

https://youtu.be/mwEL0n1Yq8U?si=M1V-SUOBm-F8AieH

[undone portal]

https://youtu.be/vzku40aB9zk?si=hJdTWMB_EqdhNu-d happens pretty much immediately here

[abstract mauve]

oh there was a patch like 2 hours ago maybe that fixed it

[dusk stream]

I heard there are some banners that never comeback, as far as I can tell they are collabs with other games. how do I know when they will happen and how much I have to save ?

[cinder hearth]

HG patches mistake in few hours
Yostar fucks up event name and banner and never fixes it

[tranquil shale]

Does W's 100 DEF ignore mod also apply to her s2 and s3 or is it just for normal attacks?

[undone portal]

fuck there go my dreams of actually good welfare aoe phys dps
will stick to s2 then

[cinder hearth]

You check announcements/news from CN for and guestimate event timing based on CN event timing, plus 6 months to account for the delay.

[abstract mauve]

s2 is alright. also jieyun exists

[cinder hearth]

Just like any banner, really.

[cinder hearth]

His s1 is an AFK skill though!
Annihilation metah!!

[abstract mauve]

s2 currently without masteries and trust and full pots feels a little shit. but i think with them it will actually be on the better end of welfares

[cinder hearth]

S2 looks good to me, imo because it's phys without masteries and missing stats ofc it looks bad.

[abstract mauve]

i didnt know it was afk going into it. i had such a good laugh when i saw it auto cast for the first time

[dusk stream]

how much orundum does an banner like that require tho? is there an average or pity threshold

[copper oracle]

???

[cinder hearth]

100 pulls for a guaranteed copy of the collab op.

[abstract mauve]

i think maxed, he should be comparable to tequilla without mod

[copper oracle]

shes better

[dusk stream]

thanks

[cinder hearth]

5* Liezi Alter /s

[abstract mauve]

jess and miksa feel about equal to me

[cinder hearth]

Miksa has the simple problem that s3 is entirely dependent upon being attacked, and s2 is both weird as fuck and costs 50 SP.

[uncut ermine]

best way to farm orodum ?

[cinder hearth]

He's just way less flexible on average vs Jessalt. He also clearly is meant to synergize with certain Laterno ops, whereas Jess is very individualistic in her kit.

Do dailies, annihilations, clear all events + side stories if not done yet, etc

[uncut ermine]

ok

[cinder hearth]

Best way to boost it with 💳 is monthly card.

[abstract mauve]

s3 cycle is quite quick for how long it can last though that depends on the enemy. if sankta isnt getting defense checked by the enemies, he does deal a decent amount of damage. jess s3 just feels a little annoying to use in similar situations

[cinder hearth]

Yeah but you basically are just doing trash clear atp.

Jess shield, stun, SP boost via shield, etc all help her cycle faster than Sankta and survive better overall.

[abstract mauve]

prolly overall she's better there but even with her shield and what have you it still depends on the enemy

[cinder hearth]

It's really down to the fact that the blender, just like in his story, is really inflexible. Boomers are like that.

Jess is much more flexible at coping with a variety of enemies.

[high kite]

how good is wisadel s1 in IS5 compared to her s3?

[turbid ocean]

S2 >>>> S3 >>>>>> S1

[cinder hearth]

You use s2 instead, yeah.

[undone portal]

miksa definitely has a bit less utility to work with if only because jessicalt s3 is a really well designed skill, but i find his s3 reacting defensively means he gets a lot more uptime out of his stat boosts onskill

[thorny edge]

when i use miksa his s3 is on then instantly off

[undone portal]

? are you putting him against poison mist or smth

[tropic schooner]

is it worth doing this?

[undone portal]

not at all

[cinder hearth]

Nope.

[tropic schooner]

alright thanks

[floral wedge]

Which one is better for caster click or Ms Christine?

[cinder hearth]

Click

[undone portal]

click, christine is unfortunately quite horrible

[cinder hearth]

Ms Christine, like most cats, is lazy and not really trying so her output is bad.

[undone portal]

lol

[modest dew]

does anyone know how the defense stat works

[coarse notch]

flat reduction to physical damage

[undone portal]

atk - def = damage taken

[cinder hearth]

Physical damage = Atk - Def, down to 5% of original Atk minimum as damage.

[proven kelp]

I mean anyone does if they actually paid attention to the tutorial

[turbid ocean]

well post mitigation amps also apply

[cinder hearth]

And yes, the tutorial tells you this Fae very kindly pointed out in a way that is exceedingly constructive.

[undone portal]

the game tells you what def does, sure, but its not like the formulas are told to you directly

[cinder hearth]

Fae don't kill me I'm ribbing ya

[proven kelp]

I mean the question is how it works, not the formula

[modest dew]

well i played the tutorial 3 years before i actually started playing the game lol

[cinder hearth]

Always worth going back. The tutorials don't cost sanity.

[thorny edge]

time is money
the real angle is to tell them to read a wiki

[cinder hearth]

It's also nostalgic to play old stages. Money can't buy TR-15.

[proven kelp]

The loading screen tips also says it

[thorny edge]

#help falling off 😔

[slow nimbus]

vintage pipe

[cinder hearth]

I tell this and no one listens. I chose to change my angle.

Maybe if it's in their afk point and click adventure game they just might click it.

[thorny edge]

no one listens isnt rly a valid excuse tbf. no one listens to "check the pins" either

[crisp loom]

Should i m3 lemon s2 aswell?

[proven kelp]

Should have keep trying

[undone portal]

tr-15 my favorite plume propaganda stage :ya:

[slow nimbus]

[cinder hearth]

Please consult the prts.wiki article 67420329 for why I stopped trying.

[unkempt pollen]

may i suggest

[slow nimbus]

Is is6 out

[fathom nest]

On CN yes

[slow nimbus]

what's it about

[cinder hearth]

Surely you know the answer to this one. Check what event is next.

[slow nimbus]

What's that I haven't logged in in a while

[fathom nest]

Same shit as always. Run stages, fight enemies, reach endings

[cinder hearth]

Look at the wiki.

[fathom nest]

Has new mechanics

[slow nimbus]

socks

[proven kelp]

Honestly all i know it's that it's Sui theme and you want alot of units on that faction

[ember grail]

is she good 💀 i somehow got a double

[fathom nest]

Pretty good

[cinder hearth]

She's fine.

[slow nimbus]

She is good for muelsyse

[undone portal]

pretty good

[ember grail]

thx guys

[high kite]

what is whisperain's main skill?

[undone portal]

s2

[cinder hearth]

Ideally you use neither and use ie Silence.
If you want to force her, s2 is arguably the only one worth considering.

[high kite]

I just got her in is5 as a temp recruit and i was wondering which one was better to use

[grim harness]

Thunderbringer banner on the december 11th right?

[cinder hearth]

Oh IS5. That changes things-with the aspd spam you use s1 instead.

[fathom nest]

Nothing announced for it so making a guess would be speculation

[magic halo]

Any advice on who to E2 I was thinking thorns but I already have Lapland and Ulpi E2

[fathom nest]

Give your e2s some levels

And Thorns would most likely be your next best e2 target

Should also use Surfer

[maiden plover]

Who can i replace for Hoederer?

[fathom nest]

Executor

[slim tusk]

horn>thorns thoughts?

[fathom nest]

Wouldn't be the worst option

[proven sinew]

Nightingale or ceobe

[fathom nest]

[magic halo]

What level should I be getting them to 60?

[fathom nest]

Neither one really get used much, generally. So I guess it depends on your other medic and caster options. NG used for res mitigation and Ceobe sees CC use

[fathom nest]

For ops that want module 60 is ideal
Others can go to 40

[abstract mauve]

pinching hand emoji lowkey

[slim tusk]

thorns need mod and mastery to be whatever afk slop

[fathom nest]

Horn is cheaper, true

[restive crown]

I have the elemental and robot tag, does that mean I'll get PhonoR-0 regardless of how much time I put for the recruitment? I assume it could remove the elemental tag and give me another robot

[fathom nest]

If you go over 3:50 it'll drop

[slim tusk]

horn maybe fell off but the range and burst is pretty fine

[restive crown]

Oh is that because it eleminates 1 stars?

[fathom nest]

Yes

[pale tapir]

thanks
I pull on every banner so not a problem for me

[abstract mauve]

ehh. i appreciate what thorns does more than horn nowadays

[sonic zinc]

I'm struggling with 7-9, but that might be due to DP management.

[molten scroll]

ur loadout?

[slim tusk]

each time i try to replicate newb roster with thorns,he just does nothing

[fathom nest]

Horn is dedicated afk slop now too

[abstract mauve]

well yeah you need mod and mastery. you get mod and mastery and he's alright. they wont replace him for a long ass time anyway

[restive crown]

LOL it removed both of my tags, I didn't even know that was possible

[sonic zinc]

Should I just wait until my Myrtle is Potential 5 before attempting the stage?

[fathom nest]

Lower time means higher chance for dropped tags
It happens often with robots

[molten scroll]

whats the main issue for you in that stage?

[restive crown]

Oh, so this isn't even bad luck. Common failure I see

[abstract mauve]

yeah robot tag does that
it is what it is

[fathom nest]

Are you doing 4 star and lower only or something?

[molten scroll]

why u using lancet and not ansel

[sonic zinc]

Like I said, DP management.

[abstract mauve]

there's other questions id ask before that

[sonic zinc]

Freaking dogs are really fast.

[restive crown]

Meaning I should have gone higher than 4 hours but lower than 7:40 for the maximum odds?

[abstract mauve]

3:50 for robots. any higher and 1* units dont appear and tags drop

[fathom nest]

I don't think this is a dp issue more than it is a damage issue

Sure the dogs charge quickly but if you eliminate them... well you don't need to worry

[abstract mauve]

kyostinV ahh team

[molten scroll]

idk then i just use cantabile for my starting since she has dp management and good dmg

[restive crown]

Oh I thought some rare robots might be 2*, rip

[molten scroll]

i only use flag bearers for annihlation

[sonic zinc]

That makes sense. I'm just worried I won't have enough DP for my heavy hitters.

[abstract mauve]

brother where are your higher rarity units

[slim tusk]

what cursed squad is that

[fathom nest]

That's why I was asking about rarity restrictions

[molten scroll]

just place vanguard+sniper on right then a defender on left and stall out the fights

[sonic zinc]

These are my 6 star options.

[pale tapir]

[fathom nest]

My man

[abstract mauve]

bro

[fathom nest]

[slim tusk]

bro
you have mountain for rush

[undone portal]

why are you struggling with dogs mountain is right there

[molten scroll]

bro he has a better loadout than me i only have 4 6 stars 😭😭

[abstract mauve]

i need that one emote bait or profound

[ember grail]

You can get gladiia for free by playing past event right

[restive crown]

yes

[pale tapir]

just don't deploy anyone until enough dp for mountain bruh

[molten scroll]

yea, she has some niche uses but overall not worth raising

[sonic zinc]

I was trying to go a budget route first before pulling out the big guns.

Which lane do I put Mountain?

[slim tusk]

also why are you raising goober isntead of idk e1 ing that typhon

[restive crown]

Dang, and here I thought she was the best roper out there and mandatory on some stages

[earnest venture]

But she’s very good with ulpianus

[molten scroll]

his lineup better than mine 😭

[graceful vigil]

pulling is niche?

[sonic zinc]

I mean, she can make Ulpi even more tanky.

[molten scroll]

yea thats the niche part

[fathom nest]

Push sees more use than pulling and even that is niche

So

[graceful vigil]

i see it more often than aa snipers

[pale tapir]

you can get 22 dp by the time the dog reaches the blue box

[molten scroll]

shifters seem more of a newbie friendly mechanic where they may not have the dmg to kill a tanky mob so they have to push it off hte map

[fathom nest]

Prob because marksman suck 👌

[molten scroll]

glad does have decent dmg tho

[slim tusk]

erm

[sonic zinc]

But seriously, which lane do I put Mountain?

[abstract mauve]

glad doesnt have decent damage

[restive crown]

What's the next upgrade after shaw? I remember seeing a push-sniper operator once, but I'm guessing e2 shaw can do the job in most cases?

[pale tapir]

weedy

[graceful vigil]

weedy only

[restive crown]

Got it

[molten scroll]

why use shifter when can just kill enemy

[fathom nest]

FEater, technically, but yeah. You'd only really use Weedy

[molten scroll]

left, vanguard right for DP and block first wolf. just whatever lane has pressure u need to relieve

[undone portal]

wherever the enemies are rushing at you fast. if theres multiple, just use mountain to plug one and focus efforts on the other

[fathom nest]

Top and bottom lanes are pretty even at the start from what I remember

[restive crown]

What do y'all do when recruitment has trash tags? I never know if I should spam 1 hours or 9 hours for random 3-4 stars

[molten scroll]

wolf goes right first hten left so depends on ur team rlly

[fathom nest]

Tagless 9 hours

[restive crown]

Tagless huh, alright thanks

[abstract mauve]

nowadays i do 1 hour for a chance at 2* and 1* pots but usually 9 hours tagless

[undone portal]

even if the tags are bad, stick to 9hrs. anything below 7:40 can give you 2stars, and 9:00 minimizes the chance you drop tags in case you want to filter to up your chances at getting 5stars you dont have

[restive crown]

I never noticed 1* robots had potential, good tip

[molten scroll]

they have low dp and can be used to bait attacks/block early rushes is what i understand for why ppl use 1 stars in their team

[abstract mauve]

robots main thing is their potentials. it's the main thing you can upgrade about them. but they dont tend to really do things. more for collection

[undone portal]

the robots are basically one-use temporary buffers in case you need to squeeze out a little more damage/survivability but dont have any extra deploy limit to work with

[fathom nest]

People have been coping the new vg robot for Lemuen

[restive crown]

Oh yeah I gotta check which 5* I'm missing, nice one

[sonic zinc]

Nope. Still got rushed.

[undone portal]

just cope plume smh

[sonic zinc]

Right side kept getting rushed.

[abstract mauve]

the new vg robot is good tho. it's like imagine uhhh texas talent but it's an on command sleep

[molten scroll]

why do u have 3 vanguards anyways. one vg into a guard should be enough

[undone portal]

i will say confess is good for robot standards

[sonic zinc]

DP generation.

[fathom nest]

You're losing more dp than you're generating trying to put down slow pioneers

[cinder hearth]

Waow Sexas powercreep

[undone portal]

more vanguards doesnt help much if theyre dying before they can make back their own dp cost

[autumn cypress]

Rq
Which banner should i be rolling on?

[restive crown]

What's most useful in commendations 2nd stage? I'm guessing stacking up on ressources should be the priority since permits and vouchers cost so much

[undone portal]

ulpianus if you want him, otherwise save
leizialt soon

[sonic zinc]

Then I don't know how to deal with this. I placed down Mountain on left side, right side gets rushed. Then I tried putting him on the right side, not enough DP and his skill wasn't ready, so I get rushed.

[turbid ocean]

If you need help with specific stage drop your roster in #strategy

[undone portal]

might want to check skill levels on your vanguards

[autumn cypress]

Ight
Im pulling (gambling addiction)

[sonic zinc]

All of them are level 7.

[wind blade]

never pull on kernel (blaze, ifrit), probably should never pull on standard (irene, dorothy), and maybe pull on featured (ulpianus, but there will be better featured banners soon)

[autumn cypress]

Ah alright

[undone portal]

i just noticed your funds with what pulls

[autumn cypress]

I had tickets

[modest goblet]

what modules do i want for an abyssal hunter team

[shadow bay]

yes

[jolly axle]

is M1 on Degenbrecher good enough?

[turbid ocean]

You put masteries on any operator you use often

Unless you mean module, then just mod1

[undone portal]

lv3 everyone, all in
gladiia x3 and spectalt (take your pick)3 are the only ones to really look out for
skadi wants x3 for herself, it wont help the whole squad though

[shadow bay]

spalter would want the mody if inside AH and using inside s3

modx is mostly when used in s2 to abuse doll

[modest goblet]

oh does spalt uses s3 in AH, the sp buff looks pretty good

[jolly axle]

is mod3 on Lemuen a bit overkill or is it fine?

[undone portal]

mod2 is enough for most purposes, lv3 is mostly just there if you want exualt s3 to shoot 1 more time

[modest goblet]

in total, how much buff can ulpianus get from skadi spalt and gladia
andreana i assume its pretty insiginificant right

[molten scroll]

do u have poncirus or cantabile? i used them to deal with early rush stages

[graceful vigil]

when killing is hard, simple

[molten scroll]

3 vg is excessive since ur putting all that dp into units that dont really do much

[graceful vigil]

poncirus is waste of resources when you have agents and flag

[turbid ocean]

Mod3 benefits isn’t that amazing it’s just not worth it

Mod2 is ideal

[molten scroll]

she good for 2 block, good enough for the stage hes suffering in

[jolly axle]

oh... i did a misclick and went Mod3....

[molten scroll]

u dont need flagbeareres at all in story

[graceful vigil]

err the only time two block vgs were good was in chapter 12

[turbid ocean]

“Need” vs “best” is different things

[molten scroll]

he losing cuz they rush. if vg can block 2 enemy that mean alot

[sonic zinc]

Nope. Neither.

[graceful vigil]

other units can too

[molten scroll]

i just cantabile vs early rush stages, never rlly had a problem in that aspect

cantabile into humus on the other lane

[graceful vigil]

#strategy if you wanna handhold

[shadow bay]

skadi have 22%atk and 20%hp at mod3
spalter mod3 give 30% sp and the sp regen, .5/sec
gladiaa mod3 would give -30% dmg rdc while having 3.5% of their hp healed

andreana is uhh whatever but she buff 20 aspd

and to add og spec at mod3 boost dmg by 5%

but the thing to note is... u need the module to reach those buff

thats why mostly stop with glad modx2

[modest goblet]

🥀 they dont have to be deployed right

[wispy jolt]

Only glad and og spec

You dont really need all the buffs tho since ulpi can only die on
Texalt's CM S boss stage to Zaaro
Jessicalt's CM EX defenders spam stage
The mass travel CM S stage with Gelato Stops (if you dont kill the snipers fast)
P1 Patriot
The bear
Instakills
There could be 2 or 3 more but i dont remember

[subtle flicker]

is this relying on Cuora's ability to give herself 4 block?

[slim tusk]

not really you can add tequila tho

or another blocker

[golden cedar]

Trog was a blessing for me. I was able to beat this too and I started Arknight on 11/9. Love Trog . But only Trog, Zuo Le, and Miss Christine does any good damage in my team.

Hopefully Hoshiguma or Haruka helps in the DPS department. I really want them.

[undone portal]

wouldnt rely on haruka for dps, but hoshialt will help for sure

[golden cedar]

I am so excited. Saved up 200 pulls so far. Can't wait.

Do I have any Sniper much better than Krooster? I actually hate Fiametta...

Or like a 6 star welfare sniper?

[humble nova]

nope except kroo alter. But fiamette is good for base

[golden cedar]

Man. I wish I had Typhon, Exualter, Leumen, or Wis'adele...

But I won't have any pulls for them. Just have to pray for accidental Leuman during Hoshiguma2 pulls 😞

I am so glad this game has awesome character barrowing system. Made the starting journey so fun. Trying bunch of different characters.

[fathom nest]

There's always the $30 option for two of them

[drowsy aurora]

pretty new n clueless player, and i think this is the right channel to ask? i'm having a bit of trouble with teambuilding and who to focus investment on, since i got a ton of guards and not sure which ones would fit my team. currently trying to unlock autoplay on ls-5 but im struggling a bit

[golden cedar]

God bless your Exualter. Your character list looks amazing.

[graceful vigil]

there is a team building guide in pins iirc

[maiden plover]

Use saria s1, e2 ulp when you can.
Get tequila and kroos the keen glint

[formal shadow]

folks what's the angle on skybox

[abstract mauve]

s1 is abyssmal dogshit but it was bugged for a bit apparently. s2 seems aight after i get mastery + trust bonus + full pots

[lavish monolith]

you want the office lvl1 lol

[formal shadow]

s2 is basically artilleryman with higher atk stat and slightly faster atk int yes?

[lost carbon]

for most optimal yeah but id rather have 3 ops on my profile and take the small debuff

[abstract mauve]

wdym with +atk?

it should all be atk%

[lavish monolith]

do what you need to do but it's useless gain.

[abstract mauve]

i think overall skybox is comparable to an unmoded tequilla in damage output

[fathom nest]

Office doesn't let you put supports, reception room does

[lost carbon]

oh

[formal shadow]

[abstract mauve]

same dph with around half cycle and around half the total damage
both their off-skill utility is equally shit

[cinder hearth]

It genuinely is the Leizi vs Mylnar debate in terms of offskill. Skybox flies and can shoot in a shit range, Tequila can bait and reflects with some weak Arts.

[abstract mauve]

the battle of who's shittier. it's kinda crazy

[cinder hearth]

HG actually just saw us debating the two liberators and were like "what if we scaled it down to 5* (dogshit)?"

[eternal spruce]

should i get silverash to 60 and buy his module?

[cinder hearth]

If he's your main DPS still, sure. He wants his mod.

[eternal spruce]

im f2p and on like week 2 so yea

and i have all the resources + did his mission

[magic dome]

Then go for it

[abstract mauve]

for numbers:
tequilla is 40 sp cost 30 duration. multi target 60k total
skybox is 25 sp cost ammo based skill with overload mechanic so around 11 second duration. aoe with 3x5 range 24k total
dph is about 2.4k each. tequila has higher cycle dps at 867 vs 679 from skybox

he's uhh alright

dp cost is fucking awful tho icl

[cinder hearth]

Probably because how the trait inherently gives AoE. HG usually makes AoE trait subclasses pricier than others.

[slim tusk]

what's his dp cost

[abstract mauve]

21

[cinder hearth]

Technically 24

[slim tusk]

eh that's on par with normal guard

[abstract mauve]

he's a marksman tho

[cinder hearth]

Pots just drop it down 3 and he's a welfare.

[cinder hearth]

Ts is NOT a marksmen dawg 💔 🥀

[abstract mauve]

oh i meant sniper. idk why brain defaulted to that. brainfart

it's 3 am i had a long day ok

[slim tusk]

anyhow 21 is pretty on par for non marksman

[abstract mauve]

ill probably be using him a lot for welfare so i cant complain
finally ranged burst option :ya:

[lavish monolith]

isnt that weird? why sniper tho? esp when we already have a sky ranger as a specialist.
(it is similar class)

[cinder hearth]

In terms of welfares he's pretty solid imo.

[abstract mauve]

yee he seems aight. it's just that without mastery and trust and pots he feels very... uhhh gifted child playing valorant vibes

[cinder hearth]

Holy shit Valorant reference.
I love playing Fade from the hit game.

Feed the childe then give final thoughts imo. Phys ops usually feel a lot worse before they max out.

[abstract mauve]

33% more dph on-skill. -5 sp cost. initial skill deployment from 14 second wait to 5 second wait. trust gives 85 atk and pots give another 35

[spark matrix]

does anyone have this guy at mod 3? im testing something

[cinder hearth]

Especially welfares since they get gimped a bit more statswise.

[abstract mauve]

yoooooo

[sullen lion]

halo im a returning player havent played since logos release what are some thibgs i gotta know

[abstract mauve]

send ign

[spark matrix]

in my username (i can also send in dms

[cinder hearth]

Check pins for the new upcoming banners. Use wiki to learn what they do. Besides that play the game.

[abstract mauve]

im a bit tired plz understand

request sent
he's up already

[spark matrix]

thanks

[undone portal]

i imagine someone at hg realized skyrangers dont have a way to block aerial enemies that path over ranged tiles

[abstract mauve]

that makes a lot of sense

[sullen lion]

ok ty

[cinder hearth]

I feel this is also setup for more aerial hitting threats in the future tbh.

[abstract mauve]

does he know

[abstract mauve]

[nocturne sandal]

it's a meme gif, wdyt?

[abstract mauve]

[lavish monolith]

the most impressive thing about that gif is liskarm living through allat

[slim tusk]

owl s2 stronk

[upper saddle]

still trying to decide on who to pick on my selection ticket? what makes logos good?

[graceful vigil]

ptilop s2 honeyberry plus skill uh, yeah, my spot is living through that

[wary pendant]

those mf give nightmare

[graceful vigil]

sn indeed had nice mechanics

[slim tusk]

lil handy borken

[shadow bay]

the best caster atm?

[abstract mauve]

that's not a good reason. casters kinda shit. logos being the exception

[graceful vigil]

he is the best caster but that doesnt set a high bar cuz casters are shit in general, if i say he is overall a very good arts dps, one of the best then it is a great thing

[upper saddle]

ah

[shadow bay]

i dont know his other option though 🥹

[graceful vigil]

you dont need to!

[shadow bay]

and he just ask why logos is good

[upper saddle]

i'm just trying to figure out who to pick on this thing before time runs out

[shadow bay]

and who are the bachelors in... this thing?

[graceful vigil]

cuz he just decimates everything

but anyways send your options

[lavish monolith]

25 mil dph on s1

[graceful vigil]

me when i dont know the conditions to fulfill that

[upper saddle]

it's the paid selection ticket from anniversary(?) patch

[fathom nest]

He's asking you to show which ops you can choose from

[shadow bay]

u can press use to see what avail to pick yeh

[shadow bay]

miweenar

[graceful vigil]

logos overall

[fathom nest]

Yep, best picks are either 🐴 or Lo🅱️os

[upper saddle]

who is horse

[fathom nest]

Mlynar

[graceful vigil]

mlynar

[fathom nest]

Him being less attractive solely because Leizi is on the horizon

[graceful vigil]

he might be in shop but logos will take time

[fathom nest]

Also that

[cinder hearth]

Mylnar, but he also is bound to rerun as shoperator. Eventually. We pray. And Leizi Alter is Soon™

[copper oracle]

hes not attractive thats true

[graceful vigil]

i was about to nitpick

[fathom nest]

Get outta here fib

[copper oracle]

🥀

[shadow bay]

twink

[graceful vigil]

ok executor simp

[fathom nest]

Enforcer, but that's not the right topic for the channel

[knotty plank]

Does Thornstar S1 and S2 benefit from Ulpian's Mod +20% Healing Received?

[fathom nest]

Only green numbers

Regen isn't affected

[knotty plank]

💔

[old quartz]

is Ulpianus worth pulling?

[graceful vigil]

check pins

[fathom nest]

nah

[wanton ice]

do i want to keep pulling on banners? used all the pulls i got from the mail on ulpianus banner/beginner banner and got these guys

[slim tusk]

just save

[wanton ice]

ok

[graceful vigil]

save and check pins for newbie selectors and teambuilding

[spare smelt]

wait i had to set the new module as default all this time and it doesn't automatically enable

[graceful vigil]

set it in operator page

[spare smelt]

oh my god i had exu2 m3 not being used the whole time

[vale finch]

Is it me or tragodia dps seems kinda lackluster? Why is he ranked equivalent to wisadel or exu2 who does so much more dps

[copper oracle]

cos he makes enemy not go to blue box

[graceful vigil]

once the operator is in squad it will not show the changes you have made, you have to remove and select them again

[copper oracle]

u win by killing enemy before they enter blue box
tragodia stops them from going to blue box
it doesnt matter if they have 3 million hp or what wheras wisadel and exu cries when enemy has 3 million hp

[vale finch]

But does that really justify ranking him as high as the other two who are dps monsters

[teal elk]

proof?

[copper oracle]

yes if i had an op that makes enemies never go to blue box they would be op

wisadel literally struggles against beefier enemies lol

[graceful vigil]

dps monster when they cant dps!

[copper oracle]

play tn-4 ultimate
point exu or wis against the first boss
see if they kill it

trag just kills the boss (eventually) but he never reaches blue box

[teal elk]

ok but what if theres time limit

[copper oracle]

theres no time limit

[teal elk]

big sad lock

[edgy stone]

fibs first L 😔

[copper oracle]

trag is op against bsl too

[lavish monolith]

bro forgot about sentinel. 🥀

[silver smelt]

[copper oracle]

sentinel isnt real

[thin ravine]

[fathom nest]

Anniversary banner, at some point in January

[graceful vigil]

[graceful vigil]

[teal elk]

wait for cc5 before u make ur pull decision

[indigo spoke]

what nasti skills do?

[slim tusk]

wht if he is used on cc6 instead

[graceful vigil]

you said the same before ccb4 when you were shilling pepe and vina, you do this often?

[teal elk]

buy six stars selector

[fathom nest]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Nasti

[thin ravine]

whats cc5

[slim tusk]

guro hax with limited selector

[indigo spoke]

nice they so fast

[teal elk]

nope vina is trash and guards only use pepe in their clear

[thin ravine]

damn not much time left

[real scaffold]

what does nasti s3 do actually

[fathom nest]

[slim tusk]

[graceful vigil]

read skill

[teal elk]

[real scaffold]

[fathom nest]

Scroll up, there's a link

[silver smelt]

hp & atk buff

[abstract mauve]

ranged tile give atk buff 👍

[pearl forge]

What's the stacking logic of new items on top of expiration items? It always use the previous expiration date when I stack a new item?

[graceful vigil]

but how are we supposed to put our efforts into helping when you arent giving a little bit effort to read 🙄

[fathom nest]

If they have the same timer they stack, if not, they don't

[worthy dune]

should I e2 my lower rarity units first? I was initially planning on prioritizing Tragodia.. but that may be a bad idea for me... And who do I prioritize among them if I should e2 them first?

[stoic quartz]

guys what BP means in the current event?

[teal elk]

battle pass?

[pearl forge]

My emergency sanity booster only get 9 days now, even if they are 12 I believe

[fathom nest]

Beacon Pathway

[fathom nest]

You don't always get them at the full timer

[teal elk]

e2 trag poop and silver ass
low stars bad

[unkempt pollen]

are you talking about monthly card? if so, each sanity pack from any given week (monday-sunday) has the same 14d timer that starts counting down on monday, so the first sanity pack will have a 14d timer, second will have 13d, third 12d, etc.

the timer resets each week ofc

[lone valley]

Nerd

[sharp nimbus]

Does trago needs s3 m3 too? Did s2 m3

[unkempt pollen]

i mean if you think you'll use the skill go for it, its a decent skill and does more dps than his s2 (i guess) but is just a different way to stall, mainly for higher aspd enemies
what i mean is no matter how "m6 worthy" or "m9 worthy" an operator is, if you'll never use those skills then whats the point of masterying them

[vague wasp]

~~you will not use it 🤫 ~~

[lone valley]

Ccb4

[fiery lynx]

IA fell off

[graceful vigil]

hmm are they doing max risk tho?

[silver smelt]

is e2 ptilopsis worth

[abstract mauve]

trag is just a good solution max risk or not

[polar viper]

global +30% SP regen says yes

[graceful vigil]

low priority

ahh the amazing +30% sp gen

[silver smelt]

ok wait so atleast inside atk range it goes from 0.15/s at e1 to 0.2/s and then 0.3/s global from 0.2/s to 0.33/s for ops inside range?

[graceful vigil]

but again do you really need masteries? on s3

[tame shard]

Hii so it's been a while since i played this game, which operators should i look out for and save for?

[spare smelt]

is 15-9 hard to do

[abstract mauve]

oh this is about masteries? no one commented on s2m3 when we dont know whether or not the guy has mod and lvl 82/88 to make it count

[spare smelt]

alright great i need to unlock yellow pyramids for mlynar

[graceful vigil]

:joyplush:

[fiery lynx]

*0.35/s inside attack range ☝️ 🤓

[graceful vigil]

she is a good healer you can go for e2 if you are done with everything else

[silver smelt]

https://krooster.com/u/sooyounghan

silverash and thorns kinda fine as is no

kinda shite to waste more resource on them if im getting leizi2

i guess all thats left is necrass mod3 when 100 trust and ines s2m3

or am i missing smt that i should do before pti e2 mod3

[graceful vigil]

mod 3? mod 1 is fine

[viscid plover]

Ehats the fastest way to up account lvl

[pliant bison]

at what part of the game should i start doing IS

[fathom nest]

You can do it as soon as you unlock it

[graceful vigil]

[fathom nest]

Borrow ops for a stronger start

[pliant bison]

[languid snow]

How do I get Caper's summer skin?
Wiki says its in RA, but I can't find it

[fathom nest]

Not from RA, but an RA-related event

It's gone, can't get it anymore

[abstract mauve]

[graceful vigil]

ik what you are

[ancient sluice]

hello guys im new, can someone guide me how to reroll in this game(what banner i should pull first and what unit i should prioritize) 🙂

[fathom nest]

There's a whole guide in the pins

[ancient sluice]

oh wait mb

[fathom nest]

The jist is guest > roll > delete until you get your desired account

Mlynar, Logos, and Trag are your best targets, but much harder to get, so aim for Ulpianus

[ancient sluice]

so i should pull for the beginner banner first until its out?

[fathom nest]

No

Never reroll beginner

[graceful vigil]

pull on ulpianus

[ancient sluice]

oh okay

[graceful vigil]

#salt-mines message
im not helping 🙏🥹

[ancient sluice]

btw do we only get like 8 pulls(4800 orundums) everytime we reroll?

[graceful vigil]

[ancient sluice]

[graceful vigil]

@quick jolt will you backseat me 🥹

[quick jolt]

[manic nacelle]

So Tactitian Vanguards like Beanstalk & Myeuseleye don't cost Deployment Limit to summon their reinforcements?

not DP, like how many ops can be on screen at once

[teal elk]

i can sit behind ur back

[quick jolt]

nope, they dont use deploy limit

[arctic hawk]

??

[copper oracle]

ur friend is bad or lazy

[arctic hawk]

[copper oracle]

[manic nacelle]
