[fathom nest]

May have more use for CC, but doesn't really see play elsewhere afaik

Speedrun clears would have more appeal if we didn't have the 6x sweep feature

Released him a bit too late

[white kraken]

So the next two anniversary banners have one high end CC limited op and one AFK monster? Which banner is better meta-wise?

[fathom nest]

Hoshi/Haruka

[burnt tree]

between summer and anni? summer

https://imgur.com/a/banner-priority-5sAXT1L

[coarse tide]

Can haruka make e1 myrtle facetank the lazer thingy

[white kraken]

Get both ops on the banner or do you just get the limiteds and stop if I'm low on pulls? Like pull until Hoshi?

[fathom cape]

i seet his image more than i see my family nowadays

[burnt tree]

visit your family during christmas then

[coarse tide]

U really should go out of ur room bro

[fathom nest]

If you end up getting Hoshi first you can stop
Having a strong healer is nice but there are a lot of options in that department

Just kill shit faster so you don't need to heal

[burnt tree]

tbf though summer should be the last stretch of the high prio operator period so you could spend more if you want

[pine plover]

summer is weird

[burnt tree]

actually quick question, how good is haruka s3 when it comes to art damage protection compare to nightingale s3?

[oak shale]

There's no way to save this is there

[formal shadow]

Just beat the boss?

[oak shale]

It's not the final boss?

[burnt tree]

it's floor 3

[pine plover]

the jetman is such a meme

[oak shale]

I haven't done this is before. The color made me think it's the end

[fathom nest]

Each one by default goes through 5 floors

[pine plover]

well, roguelike... there is always more than 1 boss

full sanity refund QoL huh

[gilded mango]

whats the best way to cope with lack of voices in arknights? Anyone found a solution?

[formal shadow]

play some music over it

[fathom nest]

It's 60% sanc vs 38 or whatever res NG gives, so presumably much better. She also has a much quicker atk interval to apply bubbles

[pine plover]

oh voiceless story issue

[gilded mango]

yeah :/... I do enjoy the game, Im already at chapter 4, but the lack of voices is being more and more noticeable and more and more annoying 🙁

[burnt tree]

i see, so ng has officially join the gulag

[pine plover]

unless the enemies attack outpace haruka, she is still better at dmg mitigation

[fathom nest]

Fucking

finally

Leizi announced

[abstract mauve]

leizi? who's leizi. all i see is new bison skin

[proven kelp]

surely 30 pulls is enough

[fathom nest]

Expand your vision

[narrow ibex]

can someone explain what mostima does and if she is good

[livid robin]

if i dont have mlynar, would be getting leizi worth it?

[narrow ibex]

10 pull take it or leave it fr fr

[fathom nest]

In short, crazy movement speed reduction with s3 and her module; she's a niche use case that rarely comes up, not good

[slim tusk]

no?
ng is still the default pick for arts threat
if ng doesn't save you neither will haruka

[narrow ibex]

daym shoulda just gotten ifrit

never gamble top op

[burnt tree]

if haruka doesn't save you how often will ng does? i actually don't know

[abstract mauve]

for the one situation where arts damage is that much of a threat (gardener and sentinel), NG still works better. NG isnt really used outside that much tho

[pine plover]

if enemies hit twice, the bubble only reduce damage from 1 hit

[fathom nest]

Guessing it's because of the combination of arts and dodge

Just a constant layer instead of relying on the bubble

[narrow ibex]

doesn't haruka also deal dmg with her s2 or sum

[pine plover]

she deals 200% of healing done as damage

[burnt tree]

if enemies hit twice, then the second hit get canceled with levitate though (ex: patriot)

[pine plover]

well, enemies is plural

[narrow ibex]

yea I think she's as high a priority as hoshi alter if she wasn't standard/hoshi wasn't limited

[fathom nest]

Patriot is immune to levitate

And so is Gard/Sent

[silver smelt]

how many healers for surtr hospital

if its all afk healing

[formal shadow]

like 5 or something

[burnt tree]

patriot is immune to levitate?

[fathom nest]

Yuh

[burnt tree]

which patriot?

[fathom nest]

Chapter 7, his second phase

[pine plover]

they updated some bosses immunity

[pearl zinc]

Hii, good evening ^^, is there any way to complete the "obtain all operators from 3 factions" mission quickly?

[burnt tree]

oh eh the first phase is where his damage actually matter

[fathom nest]

Collect every 3 star

[blissful berry]

how long does it take for haruka to get her healing going

[odd sky]

40s? i think

[fathom nest]

17 sp, 26s duration

Needs activated twice for unlimited

[odd sky]

no initial so 60s mb

[fathom nest]

Yeah, only crappy part

[odd sky]

you do have healing for that 26s

[pearl zinc]

Ty for the help ^^, Can you recommend a poll where I can use Orundum? I hace 6890 (For the quest), (Sorry if I'm not clear, I don't know much English... )

[formal shadow]

wait for the one in the #game-news announcement to come to the game

[candid moon]

will leizi be worth pulling for?

[pearl zinc]

I'll be waiting then. Thank you so much for your help ^^, have a nice night!

[copper oracle]

1 marcille is enough

[odd sky]

where is6 announcement

[severe crypt]

Wouldn’t that be after leizi

[slim tusk]

marcille not afk
fib fell off

[versed agate]

Do we have other units like Heavyrain who has heal prio for enmity ops?

[ancient lintel]

did they just confirmed FM?

[rose mist]

How necessary is Gladia for Ulpianus?

[dull smelt]

Is lin better than irene to e2

[void ivy]

She's not necessary

[severe crypt]

The better question is, what other 6 stars do you have

[dull smelt]

Most of them are bad and just free 6* from events

[void ivy]

Ulpianus is already strong enough by himself

[severe crypt]

What other 6 star casters do you have

[dull smelt]

Lap alt, Logos

[severe crypt]

Don’t bother with either then

[dull smelt]

I c

[rose mist]

I have never seen anyone shorten I see before

[ancient lintel]

ignore lin, you have top 1 and top 2 of that class already

[feral kraken]

i jsut got ulpi after 51 pulls should i save for hoshi alt banner and save on leizi

[severe crypt]

How many pulls left

[feral kraken]

0

[ancient lintel]

save for hoshi then ngl

[severe crypt]

Then the answer is clear

[glass mural]

Skip Leizi.

[feral kraken]

okay

[ancient lintel]

cause leizi's event is vigenette, once ur done with it it's essentially another dead week, go grind

[feral kraken]

[graceful gazelle]

For a starter account, which one would be better: wisadel or exu alter?

[glass mural]

That's...

[ancient lintel]

wis is more brain dead imo, so more newbie friendly

[glass mural]

What else do both accounts have?

Supplemental info would be nice.

[graceful gazelle]

Nah I'm only deciding between both of them and I guess wisadel wins for being more brain-dead. I also have another one that has BOTH of them, would that be a much bigger improvement?

[glass mural]

[ancient lintel]

just go for the one with both ngl

[rain forge]

what do i pick

[severe crypt]

Something something homegrown something something

[graceful gazelle]

My only problem is that account is played up to ep9 and I kinda prefer to have a new start, is ep9 still relatively ok? I'm not sure but I've played till yato alter's release previously n quit

[ancient lintel]

having both means you can essentially turn your brain off and play the game unless someone completely counters physical dmg ngl

[graceful gazelle]

I like turning brain off

[rain forge]

yall

[ancient lintel]

medic for nightingale, caster for ifrit, or maybe specialist for weedy

it's all gamble though, pick your poison

[rain forge]

i alr have ifrit so between yolo with just top op, nightingale and weedy what do i pick

[glass mural]

Probably medic?

Assuming you have Nightingale. Caster has shot at Mostima and Ceobe, specialist has Weedy, without supplemental information, I feel like I'd default to medic here.

[ancient lintel]

something something 100% homegrown fr fr

[rain forge]

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

[vale finch]

Is leizi or hoshi alt a higher priority?

I probably can only afford one

[graceful gazelle]

@ancient lintel if u can shed some light 🙏

[distant raptor]

how often does the kernel banner that lets u pick the shoperator come around? theres a 5 star kenel character that i want

[dense arrow]

idk man...maybe skip leizi and get hoshi or sakiko instead

[mental herald]

Is it worth pulling for leizi alt for my account?

[rain forge]

@glass mural

[ancient lintel]

idk, weedy I guess, pushing people off the map is funny (dunno if that still works though)

[glass mural]

In a vacuum, Leizi is probably a better unit to have i think?

Hoshi is in a banner where you have 70% odds a 6 star is her or Haruka instead of only 50% odds though. You're very literally more likely to win something good off Hoshi banner with the same orundum.

[rain forge]

i played weedy in is i didnt really like her gameplay

[pearl forge]

Why is hoshi bigger prio? For what type of content? What is their gimmick?

[coarse notch]

if you'll have 150+ pulls by mid january you can go for a 6 star on leizialt

[coarse notch]

leizialt alone is stronger
hoshialt has good damage and tanking, haruka has good survivability and healing, combined you can argue their banner is more valuable

[vale finch]

I'm scared of having to burn another 150 pulls for leizi after having that happened to me for tragodia

[shadow bay]

yeh thats a niche character for u

but she is the best pusher u can get

[ancient lintel]

there's 15 ch, ch 16 is coming in the future too, so you have 6 or 7 ch and probably a bunch of untouched side stories for

[coarse notch]

funny thing is that shes extremely strong for specific solves in IS but if you're just a general content player you wont get much use out of her

[rain forge]

between weedy, nightingale and gambling with top op who’s the best pick here

[coarse notch]

advanced, weedy >= ng, swapped if you dont really care for optional high end
dont just gamble

[ancient lintel]

well, you dont touch pushers or pullers unless the stage is rigged to favor them
also weedy is used to yeet the last knight off the map in TN 4

[glass mural]

[rain forge]

i feel like i’d get more use out of nightingale than weedy here ngl

[ancient lintel]

well NG does have her gimmick of making you highly resistant to arts but you'll prioritize DPSes instead of medics

[rain forge]

do i just pick top op and gamble

[ancient lintel]

sure, but do be aware that ur gonna have a lot less chance of getting someone at least usable or has niches

[rain forge]

i could try top op + guard

[coarse notch]

dont gamble it

[ancient lintel]

what r u gambling for lol
surtr?

[rain forge]

probably

[ancient lintel]

you get surtr for free in like a few weeks though

[rain forge]

💔

[rugged shale]

is investing in originium at base worth it

[ancient lintel]

just medic it, or specialist it

[rain forge]

so in the end nightingale vs weedy who do you think is better for me

[grand path]

whos leizialt? I thought Hoshi alt banner was the one coming next?

[formal shadow]

nope, you're Dead Wrong buddy. get Better News. Boooooo

[pallid cloak]

#game-news message

[ancient lintel]

idk brah, this is where you gotta be decisive, it's your account XD

[grand path]

when hoshi

[distant raptor]

how often does the kernel banner that lets u pick ur shoperator come around?

[rain forge]

gonna flip a coin ig

[rugged shale]

i have 11 shards and i can't find any use out of them

[pallid cloak]

Summer banners are always 99% for global anniversary which in january

[ancient lintel]

around mid jan

[formal shadow]

that's 1 pull you can ignore it

[rain forge]

does nightingale replace silence or not

[ancient lintel]

might as well use them then and never produce shards again, or let them sit in depot cause they aint goin anywhere

[rugged shale]

how do i convert them

[formal shadow]

trading post

[rain forge]

if not then im picking weedy

[ancient lintel]

no she replaces ptil

[rain forge]

ah

[grand path]

more time to save then, how many pulls should i save? 200 enough?

[formal shadow]

like what, 3 months?

[rain forge]

is she worth building over ptil tho

[formal shadow]

should be in most cases

[raven ocean]

Skill mastery for stainless?

[distant raptor]

ahh alright ty 🙏

[ancient lintel]

she can sit in there for now, cause she's not prio, your phantom2 isnt event built yet so get that going first

[rugged shale]

"might as well use them" how???

[formal shadow]

trading post (needs level 3)

[ancient lintel]

convert them to in trading posts

[rain forge]

alr

[woeful kestrel]

Leizi Alter, yay or nay?

[ancient lintel]

for me its a yay, cause uncle horse hates me

[formal shadow]

yay but like not all in yay

[pseudo flume]

Can be considered but if you have barely any budget or has Mlynar already can be skipped

[deft stump]

I js got ulpi but idk who i should change in my team for him

[coarse notch]

throw out jess

while you're at it, beagle and courier out for krooster tequila, if you have click or steward replace amiya

[rugged shale]

wow! that didn't give me shit thanks tho

[ancient lintel]

yea that's why we told u it's not worth it to farm in base

[coarse notch]

surely the gacha game will let me farm their main income source endlessly for free

[rugged shale]

yea i farm lmd but i just have 11 shards

[deft stump]

Is amiya not good

[ornate hinge]

Saria's preferable module is Module X right?

[coarse notch]

bad

[shadow bay]

id take ng chances whenever i can... she would see more use than weedy ig

[coarse notch]

mody lvl1

[ancient lintel]

"lore accurate" gameplay kinda gimped her ngl, like her s3 for example

[ornate hinge]

why?

[deft stump]

I dont have tequila

[coarse notch]

check pins for newbie voucher guide, it tells you how to get him

[ancient lintel]

the other amiya, and other other amiya also get gimped by this

[formal shadow]

er so like you can like get him for completely free so er yknow just get im

[coarse notch]

because the other one is bad and this one gives some tankiness for low investment

[ornate hinge]

make sense. thank

[ancient lintel]

bbbut I ran out of red disks

[rain forge]

alr

medic + top op for ng right @shadow bay

[ancient lintel]

pretty much, and then they slam you with shining

[rain forge]

[ancient lintel]

I mean shining will come in handy every blue moon when I wanna borrow hoshi or nian and turn them into "the wall"

[rain forge]

FUCK THIS GAME BRO I GOT SHINING 💔💔💔

[shadow bay]

[rain forge]

are they useful

[formal shadow]

no

[pale trail]

What does this mean?

[shadow bay]

well one explained already how shining were mostly used

[rugged shale]

click on it

[formal shadow]

HR +20%
generate 10 mem.frag. for every recruit slot (memfrag can be used by other ops for other base buffs)

[pale trail]

It'd be better to just tell me so I wont have to click every single thing and read more then just being told here

[sullen raven]

How big of a blow is it if we don't get the upcoming limited character

[rugged shale]

it's good to learn things yourself

[pale trail]

Oh frags buff other base ops?

[formal shadow]

it's like a usable resource I think

[pale trail]

Well I wonder what this channel is for then if not asking questions

[formal shadow]

I don't fw base too much. the folks at #r-i-i-c are better at this

[ancient lintel]

average arknights 50/50 experience:

[ancient lintel]

if you have thighs fetish ye

[formal shadow]

thighs? just use bewtter ops liek iners

[restive crown]

What's the better module for Lin?

[bronze lion]

Which one do I pick?

[formal shadow]

X

[restive crown]

Thanks

[rugged shale]

silverash or thorns

[coarse notch]

silverash

[bronze lion]

Which one has cooler moves

[rugged shale]

silverash

[ancient lintel]

prefer sash, I went with thorns, didnt regret it but the general consensus says sash >

[bronze lion]

Welp

[sullen raven]

What is the next limited banner after the one that starts this week, and is it a huge blow to skip this one and save for the next one?

[ancient lintel]

next limited banner is hoshi2, which should be mid jan 2026

[sullen raven]

Oh so the one this week isn't limited? Must have misread it

[ancient lintel]

for the upcoming one, if you dont have a certain funny horse man who swching swching then ur missing out on somethin big if u skip this

[sullen raven]

Who would that be? I only started around september so not a big roster

[ancient lintel]

mylnar

[sullen raven]

I do not have him no my goofy aah went for Mon3tr instead because I thought she was cooler

Got 50 pulls to my name, is it worth the risk or no?

[ancient lintel]

nah save

[sullen raven]

Gotcha. I do have M3 Sash and I hear we get Surtr free in January too so ig patience is the play

[rain forge]

do they replace silence or ptilo

[ancient lintel]

leizi2 is basically another mylnar, and mylnar is the strongest in the game so

[woeful kestrel]

She floats though

[deft stump]

I also got ifrit, is she good

[ancient lintel]

maybe replace silence, but I still prefer pseudo global healing + pseudo aoe healing instead of x2 DEF

[coarse notch]

niche, would not build for your beginner team

[olive mason]

don't waste your mats on shining

[sullen raven]

I am lacking big time on defenders mostly, got saria built but I'm hesitant to invest into Miksa or Mudrock bc I hear they aren't worth it

[woeful zodiac]

could replace silence, but is kinda expensiv. Not rly worth

[woeful kestrel]

Mudrock kind of fell off

[outer gyro]

does exu alt steal count the block

[ancient lintel]

yea they're not worth it, cause they're pretty mid

[woeful zodiac]

cuora would cover 95% of your def defender needs tbh

[ancient lintel]

my beloved hot sarkaz woman 😔

[woeful zodiac]

mudrock was not anythin in the first place 🔨

[fathom nest]

How did you reply to something from many hours ago that is completely unrelated, and no, she doesn't steal block count

[ancient lintel]

but yea mudrock isnt worth your time, not because she's weak but because she's too expensive

[sullen raven]

If I ever catch up I'm building mud bc she's cute but I surely do not have the mats rn

[outer gyro]

no i mean does the block count as a candidate for stealing the aspd

[nimble kite]

No. It's Taunt > Last deployed.

[sullen raven]

Tragodia and Saileach are my biggest targets to build, I assume they are not bad invests right?

[nimble kite]

Saileach is bad. Remove her.
Level Tragodia.

[bronze lion]

Are these 6 stars good

[ancient lintel]

drop saileach for myrtle or elysium

[quasi hazel]

Is pulling on leizi worth for a new player? I only have silverash, tragodia and saria for my 6 stars

[outer gyro]

this doesn't matter; in a hypothetical scenario where exu alt is deployed on the block and only the block is in her range does she steal the aspd from the block or not

[nimble kite]

Shit and outdated niche.

[olive mason]

don't pull kernel again, it's garbage

[bronze lion]

I had a free 10 pull

[sullen raven]

I somehow have neither

[ancient lintel]

u see that lady on the left? she's the bottom of the barrel for a 6* caster

[woeful zodiac]

trag good, saileach just premium myrtle, not rly worth build unless ur actual rich.

[nimble kite]

?????????
What?
Dude, she target last deployed ops in ger range for ASPD stealing. End of discussion.

[oak shale]

The 6 star is worse than her lower rarity counterparts?

[fathom nest]

She's not worse, flags just aren't worth raising

[oak shale]

O

[woeful zodiac]

block is not related to anything with her skill, she targets the last deployed operator in range.

[outer gyro]

(talking about nasti's platform) its an entity so it can get buffed by like warfarin s2 and hit by aak
the question is if the block counts for exu alt to steal aspd from

[ancient lintel]

no she's the premium version of them, i.e dont build her unless ur stupidly rich

[nimble kite]

Finally, you could say Nasti platform, omg...
Ask #cn-lounge.

[fathom nest]

Skill specifies operator

[woeful zodiac]

its not an operator

[sullen raven]

Last question, is E2 on a healer like Ptilopsis kind of a waste? My only healers are Ptilo and Mon3tr, hopefully that suffices in the endgame (right?)

[woeful zodiac]

e2 healer is not waste, but is low prio. DPS always higher prio

[nimble kite]

No, they will be valuable on stage like M8-8.

[graceful vigil]

mon3 e2 is good enough, you can skip ptilop til later

[sullen raven]

Fair enough. I did E2 Mon3tr for the skill but I feel like she's the exception

[graceful vigil]

btw endgame doesnt take any 5 star e2 healer so you dont have to worry

[ancient lintel]

you e2 mon3tr mostly for the pseudo king's new lance ngl (56 aspd on s2m3), her s3 is just a nice true dmg source that comes in handy occasionally

[snow siren]

What is the frequency of the new events? Is it every month, every month and a half?

[fathom nest]

There's no set pattern

[snow siren]

Ok, average.

[graceful vigil]

you can expect a new event every month but as socks said no set pattern

[copper oracle]

like 1 new and 1 rerun event a month

then nonfarming event from time to time

[odd sky]

how's rma in leizi event

[copper oracle]

in general viginette is like main story tier of efficiency

[nimble kite]

Shit. Cause Vignette.

[deft stump]

is this gud enugh

[copper oracle]

[nimble kite]

I feel that Lava here is weak point.

[ancient lintel]

ditch lava for kroos 2 maybe

[craggy stirrup]

That is a lot of guards
get another sniper and replace lava perhaps

[ancient lintel]

use ulpi s2, his s1 doesnt exist

[deft stump]

How to get kroos 2

[deft stump]

Who shuld i replace lava for

[nimble kite]

I'm not sorcerer. Show me what you have.

[woeful zodiac]

kroos2

[burnt tree]

what is arknights but guardknight tbf

[craggy stirrup]

yeah cant do much tbh

[woeful zodiac]

rockrock can replace steward tho

[nimble kite]

Spot or Adnachiel. When you get KroosAlter, switch to her.

[craggy stirrup]

steward is better for his stage of the game, he can invest rockrock or get a better caster later on since... resources

[woeful zodiac]

huh? is this proven ?

[nimble kite]

I actually agree about Steward part. He may draft better caster, so RockRock will be ditched.

[burnt tree]

you either die as a guard spammer, or live long enough to see yourself becoming a nicheknight player

[fathom nest]

Huh why was Adna meantioned?

[woeful zodiac]

well money wise, he could be thinking to save it, but at e1 full squad progression, e1 rockrock isnt a hurting investment.

[nimble kite]

Someone said "go another sniper", and he's cheap enough while no KroosAlter.

[fathom nest]

Rangers

No reason to raise Adna's bum ass

[nimble kite]

He's pretty much weak tho.

Even being much more cheaper.

[hollow jackal]

Rangers is cheaper and does the same shit as adna

[fathom nest]

He works the same until he gets Kroos2

[hollow jackal]

by the time you need a stronger rangers, you can already get kroos2

[nimble kite]

Well, if he, then go Rangers Ig.

[burnt tree]

you also can just, get kroos2 rn

[woeful zodiac]

ril

[hollow jackal]

true...

[fathom nest]

Can't say he doesn't have an event crystal either because new ones just got sent today

[craggy stirrup]

its up to him tbh, but eventually they'll get a 6* caster that is miles ahead of rockrock so it might be in his interest to save on some resources till then

[woeful zodiac]

what if he unlocked lumen like every other newbie

[fathom nest]

Pain

[burnt tree]

quit arknights for a week and then come back

[autumn kettle]

Should I get more pulls or wait for the next standard?

[fiery canopy]

i hope whoever made lumen sidestory and uh vigil layout of stages gets fired

[graceful vigil]

tbh other casters that are good are like 3-4, rock rock e1 wont hurt, she is one of the good 5 star operator

[woeful zodiac]

e1 is virtually nothing, dont need to be stingy about e1s.

[fathom nest]

Leizi on the 11th so

[graceful vigil]

the ones that come to mind are logos, eblana, lapp alter, gg?

[normal nexus]

What makes leizi so good

[craggy stirrup]

Oh yeah I forgot about that oops

[nimble kite]

You know Mlynar?

[autumn kettle]

So pulls or Shoperator?

Also I skip until Ave Mujica.

[deft stump]

Who should i even change from my guards

[fathom nest]

Pulls

[normal nexus]

Ive heard of his shenanigans

[craggy stirrup]

leizi is a sidegrade mlynar with arts on the side, and all of her skills have a purpose

[nimble kite]

Draw equal sign between her and him.

[fathom nest]

She's like him, but she floats and doesn't taunt

[autumn kettle]

Leizi Can't be targeted by ranged enemies.

[fathom nest]

Just aura farms

[normal nexus]

interesting...

[fathom nest]

Basically the same amount of damage output

They're both very good

[graceful vigil]

b-but dps jk

[craggy stirrup]

GRAHHH

[spare pelican]

guys i cant choose beetween leizi and haruka who is better

[fathom nest]

More damage will always triumph over healing

[graceful vigil]

if you have only enough for one banner, save for hoshi2

[spare pelican]

i got more than 100 pulls

[woeful zodiac]

how much pull u at now

[hollow jackal]

haruka deals little to no dmg so i think leizi is better

[ancient lintel]

lower DPH and goofy range that's terrain dependant

[spare pelican]

mb i have like 90 pulls

[proven kelp]

I'd say pull on Leizi then just try your luck with the free pulls in Hoshi banner

[nimble kite]

How about 200?

[nimble kite]

Skip to HoshiAlter and Haruka.

[woeful zodiac]

maybe try for leizi.. how good is ur dps operator rn

[nimble kite]

Oh shit, no Waveclearer

[blazing mist]

ifrit s2 or s3

[fathom nest]

2

[graceful vigil]

idk why are we talking about hruka in isolation

[nimble kite]

Ummm, follow FAE advice.

[blazing mist]

coulda sworn it was 3, res down not that good in that case?

[burnt tree]

tragodia

[woeful zodiac]

🤔 I'd say try for first 6 star on leizi, then save the rest for hoshi2/haruka banner.

[nimble kite]

It's niche one. In general you will find S2 more often skill.

[blazing mist]

gotcha

[fathom nest]

It technically is the better skill but you really don't need the res down unless it's for niche shit like CC

[spare pelican]

ok

i have alot of content anyways, i have chepter 8-15 for story

+alot of secundary storys

[austere sparrow]

for top operator should i go for suzuran or weedy

[woeful zodiac]

weedy

[graceful vigil]

suzuran is more widely applicable
weedy is more niche

but mag gamble hmm

[woeful zodiac]

suzu kinda more general use ye, but both pretty niche tbh. Weedy shows up with bigger importance tho.

[nocturne pine]

Is record keeper any good if I get him?

[nimble kite]

No, sloppy 5☆ aah medic.

[nocturne pine]

Oof

[shadow canopy]

is lei2i limited ?

[woeful zodiac]

record keeper kit is pretty wacky

[burnt tree]

can't lie what does record keeper even do, he serve no purposes 😭

[severe crypt]

He keeps records

[fiery canopy]

what does sand reckoner do

[severe crypt]

He serves no purpose

[burnt tree]

summon half an orchid

surely sand reckoner can't be that bad, with his module you can use him as a very copium caster no?

[copper oracle]

mid

[graceful vigil]

he works at a gem trading post iirc

[autumn cypress]

Who do i pick here?

[severe crypt]

Did you already use your other selectors?

[autumn cypress]

Yea

[severe crypt]

Who did you pick for them…

[burnt tree]

can we see your 5*?

[autumn cypress]

Liskarm and silverash

[severe crypt]

Who did you pick on the bigger selector

[slim tusk]

why do you want to use copium durin

[burnt tree]

actually what am i even talking about isn't the answer always ptilopsis here

[autumn cypress]

Liskarm

[severe crypt]

Assuming LappLand was picked in the big selector

[burnt tree]

i feel like even if lapp isn't pick there's still an argument for ptilopsis

[formal shadow]

liskarm e2... it's over

[woeful zodiac]

well theres one scenario to not ptilo, is when they have ptilo already

[autumn cypress]

Is she bad-

[severe crypt]

You were supposed to pick silence in that selector

[autumn cypress]

I didn't talk tho

[severe crypt]

Wdym didn’t talk

[formal shadow]

did you get it yet

[severe crypt]

If he already has the day7 selectors why wouldn’t he have the day 1 selectors

[autumn cypress]

Rip joke didn't land

But yea i needed a defender and i wanted Ace (found out hard way) so it was between nearl or liskarm

[graceful vigil]

just get lappland and get over with it

[autumn cypress]

Ight

[nimble kite]

He wanted playable Ace. That shit is even harder than FrostNova.

[humble arrow]

ifrit s2 or s3

[woeful zodiac]

unfortunately defender dont help as much as.. kill with dps.

[severe crypt]

S2

[humble arrow]

s2 m3?

[autumn cypress]

Got sash, thorn and mountain for that

Unfortunately i have basically no ranged cliff units

[woeful zodiac]

get more dps

[severe crypt]

I mean she ain’t all that good, s2 is her best skill, up to you if you wanna spend mastery mats

[humble arrow]

trying to figure out which ifrst skill to mastery

[burnt tree]

not ptil with that account? they already have consistent damage (thorns) and burst (silverash)

[nimble kite]

Thorns isn't that great, but SA and Mountain is good.

[severe crypt]

S2 then

[autumn cypress]

Aww man
I thought his range made him great

[graceful vigil]

haruka is coming, perfumer and other healers are enough

[humble arrow]

s2 shreds... defence? im confused

[severe crypt]

Were it so simple

[burnt tree]

like i genuinely don't see a reason for lapp here, what does lapp even fit in that team? the third guard?
sure haruka is coming but like their perfumer is e0 45, that's like 20k lmd on it

[severe crypt]

Yeahhhh 2020 hg was wilding a bit, it’s mainly cuz s3 doesn’t really have many current uses other than like cc and buff army

[autumn cypress]

Honestly im just using him and la pluma around corners

[nimble kite]

That's the only good cause for him, but his damage output cannot be justified in endgame.

[woeful zodiac]

pretty wild assumption that they'll actually get haruka 🥹

[burnt tree]

and even then haruka and perfumer doesn't provide global +.3 sp

[autumn cypress]

Ic

[severe crypt]

Especially when I’m here

[humble arrow]

the defence shred is... flat...

[woeful zodiac]

the hool curse 😱

[severe crypt]

Told you she kinda sucks

[graceful vigil]

where is ptilop good?
as i said healing isnt that much of a problem

[burnt tree]

for like general content? where would you use lapp in this account

[nimble kite]

SP battery mostly. And 3 ops healing at same time ofc.

[woeful zodiac]

ptilo outstays lapp is all I can say 🤷

[humble arrow]

making people cycle faster

[burnt tree]

tell me one instance where you would bring lappland together with thorns and silverash instead of global 0.3 sp

[autumn cypress]

Am now confused

[graceful vigil]

anywhere i want more damage?

[humble arrow]

silverash has global 10% redeploy in hand

[slim tusk]

global 0.3 is hella overrated
idk what's help arguing now

[graceful vigil]

this is a stupid argument, you think thorns and silverash is good at e1? thorns and sa both need e2

[woeful zodiac]

missing lapp and ptilo, selector between lapp and ptilo

[slim tusk]

if they don't have good healer,take ptilo
not for this cope sp battery

[humble arrow]

ptilo wins every day of the week not even close

[burnt tree]

i think that's no reason to waste resource on lappland, and the time between thorns e1 to e2 is miniscule compare to "the rest of the game"

[autumn cypress]

So ptilo?

[severe crypt]

See I’d say ptilo cuz bro has enough guards, even if they usable at best

[burnt tree]

their only healer is e0 perfumer, and like the other person is saying to cope perfumer and haruka

[humble arrow]

There is no world where you would invest resource into lappland in the big 25 powercreep is too much

[burnt tree]

like ah yes "ptilopsis is very much powercrept the moment you get haruka" as if lappland isn't immediately kick out the moment you got 24538350 other dps

[woeful zodiac]

like I said, only scenario to not ptilo is when already have ptilo 👀

[graceful vigil]

i think you can turn of pings everytime you say something
i dont see ptilop being any better cuz even with thorn and sa he lacks damage

[severe crypt]

I’m just basing it off of the current circumstances of this account, bro has a good chunk of guards including la pluma, so getting ptilo would be more beneficial than guard #7

[burnt tree]

i don't think so tbh, especially as a new player, they have more than enough resources for leizi alter and hoshi2 if they're planning to go for them (which they will most certainly). leizi alt, hoshi2, thorns, silverash & mountain, and arguably la pluma should be enough dps

[graceful vigil]

you prove my point, they will have haruka, thnk you

[autumn cypress]

WHAT ARE THESE WORDS

[severe crypt]

So bro can just run ptilo and Haruka

[burnt tree]

yeah and their account seems like having haruka + ptil are both good

like they don't have monst3r, or silence, or warf, or even sussuro, their second healer is my*rh

[graceful vigil]

you dont need two healers

[woeful zodiac]

u dont have to think about this bru 🥹

[humble arrow]

"They will have haruka" before haruka he's gonna get 5 better dps at least what is this ragebait

[autumn cypress]

Ok

[burnt tree]

you do need two healer i fear

[severe crypt]

Also, does getting ptilo mean he can’t get Haruka now?

[graceful vigil]

idk why are people allergic to getting more guards

[woeful zodiac]

get ptilo, and ur first big goal is e1 full squad. Then start working on base workers, then e2 silverash.

[autumn cypress]

Alright
I'll just use that day 14 insta upgrade thing for sash

[severe crypt]

@autumn cypress Check pins for the squad building guide and other guides there

[burnt tree]

more guard is always good tbf (it's guardknight after all), it's just the comparative benefit isn't worth it here

[graceful vigil]

im afraid you dont?

[severe crypt]

That lvl 80 ticket is only for 5 stars, sa doesn’t count

[graceful vigil]

one good healer is more than enough

[autumn cypress]

Oh...

[humble arrow]

By the time he finished building silverash and thorns he already got a better operator than lappland

[autumn cypress]

Ah alr
Atp im just using every 5* and 6* i have so I'll worry about teams when i get more units

[woeful zodiac]

like said above ye, follow the newbie selector in pins to pick up tequila and kroos2, and check teambuilding guide.

[burnt tree]

i think it's extremely hard to argue that you don't ever need 2 source of healing throughout the main content to never justify raising two healing operator, and everyone else know that

[graceful vigil]

no? you have been saying this since idk earlier? the meta comprises of ranged units
guards are just more accessible

[severe crypt]

It’s best to start worrying about team building now, you’d be surprised how useful low rarity units are early game

[autumn cypress]

Oh seriously?
Damn
Alright I'll work on em

[rain forge]

dont neglect your 4 and 3 star ops they are cheap to build and are pretty damn good

[humble arrow]

2 healer is 100% a valid choice, this aesth guy is the one allergic to healers.

[burnt tree]

the meta doesn't comprises of ranged unit, the meta just comprise of whoever deal the most damage or stall the most depending on context, ranged or not are simply arbitrary constant. people would still use tragodia even if bro is like idk primal defender (assuming the same kit)

[graceful vigil]

lol

[autumn cypress]

Even the 3*s?

||(Can i say genshin could never?)||

[woeful zodiac]

h*yo could never

[severe crypt]

Especially some of the 2 stars if you lack their roles

[humble arrow]

Genshin actually makes really good 4 stars so you cant say that lol

[graceful vigil]

the meta comprises of unit that are better which are ranged as of now? you said the thing i did?

[severe crypt]

*made

[rain forge]

yep, if you have kroos then she’s VERY good

even 2 stars can be viable in some stages

[autumn cypress]

Really wanted to get this guy maxed out...

[nimble kite]

1 star is actually life saver.

[burnt tree]

ok i will stop engaging with this ragebait, time to live life a bit more calm and tranquil

[humble arrow]

sure, made lmao

[severe crypt]

I mean you can use him until you get kroos and kroosalter

[nimble kite]

I didn't make 620 on POO if not Lancet-3.

[graceful vigil]

people who dont know sussuro exists

[brazen gulch]

emotional support lancet 🙏

[burnt tree]

thrm-ex my beloved, i still remember using it to tank chapter 10 canon

[rain forge]

how much block does thrm-ex have

[burnt tree]

0

[nimble kite]

0

[woeful zodiac]

bro uses that 2s window or something

[autumn cypress]

Ok yea i just checked
I got kroos

[rain forge]

rn im just sacrificing gummy to the artillery whenever it appears

[burnt tree]

being able to tank with thrm-ex is a dark secret i would not want to revisit

[humble arrow]

continue to do that then lol

[severe crypt]

Check the squad building guide, depending on what roles you have/don’t have, you may just need kroos

[autumn cypress]

Ight

[brazen gulch]

When would you use Exusiai S2 over S1?

[severe crypt]

which Exu

[rain forge]

exu1 or exu2

[burnt tree]

the answer is always for both, i think

[severe crypt]

Exu1 mains s3

[brazen gulch]

Exu1

[humble arrow]

exu1 s2 is used when you want to control when to activate the skill

[severe crypt]

The other answer is, don’t use Exu1

[burnt tree]

they're asking s2 over s1 though, so it's like

[severe crypt]

When do you even use exu1 s1

[slate ridge]

when you afk

[woeful zodiac]

already raised so might as well.

[nimble kite]

Pre-E2

[humble arrow]

I'd afk with s3 tbh

[severe crypt]

Ykw I’m glad I grew up Exu-less

[nimble kite]

I didn't.

[rain forge]

i got exu from my beginner banner

[humble arrow]

i got zilverash and i think thats the best pull

[woeful zodiac]

exu wasnt bad.... at year 0

[humble arrow]

arknights would have been a whole different experience if I got Hoshi from that banner

[pearl anvil]

@nimble kite whats some good low cost units that can stall i cant beat this stage cuz its attacking from so many angles i cant place units fast enough to defend all of it T^T

[rain forge]

which stage

[severe crypt]

Slow down homie, what stage

[pearl anvil]

2-10

[humble arrow]

do you have spot

[fathom nest]

Noir Corne

[humble arrow]

Do you have plume

[pearl anvil]

what do they look like i got this chinese version

[fathom nest]

2 star version masked dude

Spikey hair

[languid swan]

Got around 200 saved rolls, do you guys think it would be enough to roll for hoshi and ave? If not, which one should i skip?

[brazen gulch]

I just realized.. Exu S2 is not a one-time 4 shots, it enters a mode where she passively shoots 4 times for a period, right? I thought it was just like S1 but manual, no wonder i thought "why would i ever use this?! higher CD, less dmg per auto, have to manually manage"

[fathom nest]

Hoshi is still another month away

So maybe

[rain forge]

[burnt tree]

4 time shot??? oh you're using the wrong exu

[severe crypt]

Did they mean exu2?

[fathom nest]

s2
4 shot
I don't think so

[pearl anvil]

this guy?

[severe crypt]

Yeah that is exu1 s2

[brazen gulch]

Yeah guys you might not belive it but Exusiai (1) is, in fact, an operator of all time in this Ark of Knights

[nimble kite]

I passed with Specter S2. She just slayed everyone into pieces.

[hollow jackal]

exu1 in the big 2025
S2 too

[languid swan]

Mmhh... i assume both hoshi and her co-banner (the abjurer, can't remember her name ) are well worth it and so's the 6 star in ave?

[fathom nest]

They're all decently strong, yes

[severe crypt]

22 days away from the big 26

[nimble kite]

If you don't have, 12F has 50% Phys Dodge for Skullshatter Boss. Use him to bait the attacks.

[languid swan]

Oh and how much time between ave and salty assault alter?

[fathom nest]

We have no way of knowing

[formal shadow]

like what, 2 months in CN

[woeful zodiac]

🔮

[fathom nest]

Even illegally, for now

[woeful zodiac]

my balls says 0-6 months, take it or leave it

[pearl anvil]

uh i tried it and its still not enough anything else

[fathom nest]

You said you're doing 2-10?

[languid swan]

Aight thats enough anticipating for now i guess. Ill probly aim for those and be royally fcked by rng (lemuen not coming home after 250 rolls emptied my balls)

[pearl anvil]

2-9

[nimble kite]

Bruh.

[pearl anvil]

its got like 6 angles T^T

[severe crypt]

En can’t count

[brazen gulch]

wis'adel it :lowtiergod:

[humble arrow]

use plume if you struggling with dp starting, just sell her when she almost dies to get full dp refund

[nimble kite]

Wait, the drone map?! It's just Kroos or any AA check, you just win.

[pearl anvil]

its running at me from 6 angles gng

[humble arrow]

its 4 angles

[nimble kite]

They do circles. 🥹

[pearl anvil]

no they dont

[humble arrow]

just face snipers on the left and right

[pearl anvil]

theres also ground troops on all four angles

[humble arrow]

they turn around... once I think

[languid swan]

Use midnight then

[brazen gulch]

drop some Lords

[pearl anvil]

they dont this mf jst ran straight into the base

[nimble kite]

They does.

[humble arrow]

just use more ranged dps facing the outside

[brazen gulch]

impostor rangee

[humble arrow]

kroos

[languid swan]

You've got the wrong mindset. Don't dismiss a strategy before trying it. I swear sometimes the most stupid sounding shit works when we've been stuck an entire day on a stage

[woeful zodiac]

just bring buncha ranged and kill them 🤷 if still struggle, bring it over to #strategy

[fathom nest]

Was just about to say

Time to move it over

[brazen gulch]

my beloved vanguard cannon fodder spam to kill bosses

[rain forge]

between 1 day and 3 years

[languid swan]

Chapter 8 boss's main strat being doing a triple sacrificial offering continuously the entire time while a single unit fcks the whole stage is still funny to me

[tidal pond]

should I build tin man for is5, or is the toil thing his main use?

[humble arrow]

no

[nimble kite]

Yesnt.

[woeful zodiac]

if ur rich and u like is5, maybe.

[nimble kite]

He may give more space of thoughts on E2.

[fathom nest]

Once you figure out how to run IS5 then toil really isn't an issue

[hollow jackal]

just borrow him

[languid swan]

Wdym toil's an advantage on some strategies

[fathom nest]

Never used him once after lamp released

[rain forge]

how hard is is6 compared to is5

[nimble kite]

No Lamp, no Kings, no Hands.

Hard are the battles? Dunno, wanna try to cheeze them all myself.

[tidal pond]

right now my strategy has been:
blueprint squad, get lamp floor one, refresh for flinger hand asap, get myself to 1 health on the first combat node I see, keep refreshing as much as possible for wish nodes until I get all kings relics, then I just go about it normally

[nimble kite]

But spike chests are returned, so Wisadel once again will feel worse.

[sinful walrus]

Have around 220 pulls total. Leizi pull or not?

[burnt tree]

"go about it normally" is a crazy way to say "my first battle is the boss"

[nimble kite]

You may pull until first 6☆, then think you will need her so hard or not.

And you have almost a guarantee to get her, if you pull out all.

[sinful walrus]

Ok. I have never stopped at first 6 star if its rate off in 5.5 years, maybe it will ne a first

[tidal pond]

i usually see like at least 4-5 combat nodes before the boss, and most of the time I don't refresh too hard unless it's a 0 spike stage

[sinful walrus]

Ya

[fading saddle]

What do you do in IS5 with blueprint squad?

[burnt tree]

oh wow, my normal is5 run has 2 combat node

[humble arrow]

you... reroll the nodes

[fading saddle]

Just avoid every combat nodes?

[rain forge]

dear god

[humble arrow]

its tthe opposite in fact

[ancient lintel]

Reroll nodes, get king's set + respective hands, and then maybe start doing combat for recruitments

[nimble kite]

No, you just reroll nodes with Lamp to get Kings.

[burnt tree]

yeah, like just reroll for wishes, then you win

[ancient lintel]

Search for possbility for more rewards

[humble arrow]

honestly that sounds more fun, lamp is really boring

[nimble kite]

In 1 BaseHP.

[tidal pond]

i reroll for kings relics early, and reroll 0 spike nodes/disproportionately hard combats like emergency chaos

[rain forge]

you mean reroll nodes into wish fulfilled node

[burnt tree]

my past 3 is5 run have like 7 combat nodes in total (one of them i got unlucky and didn't roll encounter is the first ever node)

[nimble kite]

Yes.

[tidal pond]

it's just useful being able to refresh a node for free if you don't like it

[rain forge]

do this for every node right

[formal shadow]

reroll rouge merc
emer rouge merc

[pine plover]

elusive merc

[ancient lintel]

Chaos + elusive + dispute at the start of f4 💀

[nimble kite]

Depends. Some nodes may prove useful and you resist doing that.

[tidal pond]

also clearing combat stages is one of your main sources of recruitment vouchers, so you can't skip too many or you're cooked for the boss

[burnt tree]

you don't reroll f2 scout node and sometimes shop node

[formal shadow]

rouge merc is one of the easier f5 stage mb

[ancient lintel]

What's bad in f5? Rhine guardians maybe?

[nimble kite]

Regular Army

[ancient lintel]

Ah that

[formal shadow]

those two yeah

[ancient lintel]

The assansins 💀

[burnt tree]

what's regular army again?

[rain forge]

the lamp guarantees wish nodes when you reroll right

[turbid ocean]

permanent epoch field in the middle

[tidal pond]

increases the odds by a lot, but not guaranteed

[rain forge]

alr

[turbid ocean]

W, Crownslayer, Skullshatterer can show up
also Deathveil Assassins

[formal shadow]

hyperbuffed CS + W + epoch field + ursus imprerial artillery targetters + invis revealer tanks + skullshatterer + babel guys

[tidal pond]

what's the intended clear for emergency chaos if almost nothing can outheal it?

[nimble kite]

W also hyperbuffed af. Skullshatter too.

[burnt tree]

wait is it the one that spawn w at the start alongside the fucking caster

[nimble kite]

Ulpianus.

[ancient lintel]

Nah that's elusive merch iirc

[nimble kite]

Map outheals him

[tidal pond]

oh that counts? okay

[ocean mulch]

I finally cleared downtown, The only thing I needed to do is make sure no one spawn

[tidal pond]

does the poison recharge defensive skills then?

[ancient lintel]

It breaks mud shields but doesnt work on penance s3 for some reason

[nimble kite]

No, but for Mudrock, it pops Barrier, so she can take SP from module effect.

My AP-5 Trustfarm technique.

[tidal pond]

AP is red ticket stages?

[vagrant locust]

Just for clarity, myrtles trait of +1 block effects zuo le right? Meaning in most cases his S2 (with myrtle) would be usefull when dealing with large amounts of mobs right?

[nimble kite]

He doesn't needed Myrtle, to begin with.

[tidal pond]

if you meant the +1 block thing,
yeah any block increase carries over to stuff like "attack all blocked enemies"

[vagrant locust]

Yep this, just wanted clarification

[maiden plover]

Who can i replace for qiubai? I rlly like her

[formal shadow]

exec?

[fathom nest]

Saria or Exe

[nimble kite]

I see only ExecutorAlter.

[burnt tree]

one vanguard 😔

[graceful vigil]

they have exu2

[burnt tree]

tbf all your unit seem cheap so that probably is fine

[dense veldt]

hi i just came back after 2 yrs ish, do they delete accounts that havent been played for a certain amount of time?

[nimble kite]

No, you missed mandatory migration.
Go there #tech-support.

[graceful vigil]

we had yostar binding a few months back, but it is recoverable if you contact customer support

[dull coyote]

Should I build gracebearer if I have Trag?

[formal shadow]

not if your account is like good

[slim tusk]

should i build thorns delta if i have trag

[leaden cipher]

who should i e2 next

[graceful vigil]

how is that related, trago will be procing NI before thorns

[slender temple]

SA

[graceful vigil]

maybe focus on masteries and module

[limpid tapir]

Because they are the same elemental dmg type?

[hexed adder]

tbh wont mod him, mod blocks too precious rn

[bitter anvil]

thorns deal bonus dmg to target who has NI, so trag can proc it for thorns to do more damage

but it ain't worth it

[burnt tree]

also thorns gonna be out of comission the moment sakiko drop

[graceful vigil]

do you use nymph and arturia together just cause they are same ele type?

[slim tusk]

it's joke about grace synergy smh

not like i'm going to use saki tho

[limpid tapir]

Can you not use them together? I just replied how they are related and didnt answer if they should mod thorns

[tidal pond]

well logos virt combo is a thing but

[bitter anvil]

if ur using nymph s3 (which you shouldn't) you should use arturia

The only nymph s3 usecase I can think of is for normal player is if u don't have logos and need arts damage

[tidal pond]

yeah thorns not worth building just to go with trag

[graceful vigil]

yeah that was the implication to me asking that question

do i just gotta say everything with straight face and simple words

you wont realistically bring two ops for the combo

[ocean mulch]

How long has it been since Arturia's banner?

Like 2 month ago?

[burnt tree]

close enough, replace months with years

[ocean mulch]

Wait really holy

[nimble kite]

2... years actually. In May 2026, it'll be third one.

[turbid ocean]

Just making things up now?

[nimble kite]

Wisadel is already 3 years ago.

[turbid ocean]

Her event reran earlier this year

[burnt tree]

wisadel 3 years is insane calculation i fear

[turbid ocean]

Stop giving misinfo

Check your dates

@nimble kite

Virtuosa ran about 1.5 years ago

[burnt tree]

based on cn date it has been 2 years tbf

[ocean mulch]

I thought she was like a pre-anni character

[formal shadow]

is been 10 years since you've been mod and you're still so dilligent

[turbid ocean]

They said May 2026 will be a third year, so thats EN dates, when in reality may 2026 is just 2 years for EN

[burnt tree]

oh yeah i am not responsible for their misinfo, just saving my own bum

[lone valley]

She was cn 4.5 anni

[nimble kite]

Oh wait, nvm, I can't count, really.

[ocean mulch]

So, is she still coming in May?

[nimble kite]

As a offrate in other banner, aim for whole Mid-Late Spring.
That's all I can say for not violating Rule 5.

[cosmic zealot]

Leizialt soon yay

[blissful berry]

it should be right after the ulp banner ends right

[nimble kite]

#arknights that way. Or you have questions?

[turbid ocean]

You will stop yapping now

[blissful berry]

also whats leizi alters best skill or is it just a situational thing where x and y skill do better in certain scenarios

[cosmic zealot]

Is she better to pull than sakiko later?

[turbid ocean]

Leizi technically stronger and more applicable than Sakiko

but Sakiko will never come back unless HG feels like

👍

[nimble kite]

LeiziAlter is better.
Sakichan is Collab Limited.

Do what you want with that info.

[cosmic zealot]

Oke thanks 👍

Wait with what?

[slender temple]

I think he meant "do what you want"

[ancient sluice]

Hello guys, does anyone know what 6* should i be picking from 5th day selector?

[formal shadow]

silverash

[spring obsidian]

Is there any calculation/review about how good is sakiko?

[nimble kite]

T9, yes.

[ocean mulch]

Say how often do arknight does collabs?

[nimble kite]

No strict pattern.

[cosmic zealot]

I'd say it's inconsistent

[ancient sluice]

Ok ty

[ocean mulch]

I see

[cosmic zealot]

They Collab but no like regular flow

[ocean mulch]

Is it safe to say 1 collab per year or still inconsistent atleast after year 2

[slender temple]

Is there a chance they'd do another R6 Collab

[cosmic zealot]

We don't know

[nimble kite]

We ain't answer that. Pray that Hai Mao feels it he needs another R6S collab.

[pearl anvil]

greaat now im actually stuck on 2-10 theres stupid drons just fly all the way to the base that i didnt even know existed whats a sniper that can one shot drones

[formal shadow]

jusr us kroos

[slender temple]

Level your kroos

[cosmic zealot]

Might be your aa snipers don't have enough levels

[nimble kite]

Kroos is more than enough.

[pearl anvil]

aigh

[stone karma]

why is quartz good in is5?

[robust thistle]

Shes not

[nimble kite]

She is?

[fathom nest]

Ehhh

Debatable

She's used to kill spines

[robust thistle]

Shes just a budget option for like, spines

[stone karma]

oh

[robust thistle]

Same as utage and the likes, no actual real use

[stone karma]

i remember seeing her really high in a is5 tier list for no reason

[robust thistle]

0 hope, also tierlists are a no no without context

[stone karma]

a guard tier list to be specific

[worldly gazelle]

Yo what should I invest in?

[robust thistle]

Masteries and mod

[stone karma]

tragodia

[surreal wing]

Best skill and mod for zuo le?

[robust thistle]

Nymph and mostima if you wanna do niche utility stuff

[formal shadow]

S3M3 ModX3

[worldly gazelle]

Doesn't Mostima mostly slow things down?

[robust thistle]

Yes

[nimble kite]

She is.

[worldly gazelle]

Also I was thinking of upgrading Gladiia for ulpianius

[robust thistle]

No

[silver smelt]

how good are Nasti's buffs

[nimble kite]

It's for mostly S2 tanking shit purposes.

[robust thistle]

You have better priorities than a babysitter

[slender temple]

You can upgrade your 4* medic for ulpianus and that's it

[lilac falcon]

Can someone tell me the soft pity and hard pity rate up operators for a limited banner ? I am still confused if it is double 6* operators in limited banner

[worldly gazelle]

Maxed out Sussuro will carry him

[slender temple]

E2 mod 1 a 6* just to heal one lane holder is not it

Unless you're going with full blown AH squad

[worldly gazelle]

Those two are my only AH

[nimble kite]

Softpity is 100 pulls, which triggers any SixStar.
Hardpity for Limited banner is 300, which allows to pick Limited Rateup next to Pull x1 button.

Closest Limited banner is HoshiAlter with Haruka.

[worldly gazelle]

So I guess you are right

[urban sleet]

Damn soft pity is not 60 anymore

[nimble kite]

It never was, to begin with.

Ramping up SixStar chance starts from 51th.

[tidal pond]

what's the point of practice mode, now that dec11 update is making it so all sanity is refunded?

[lilac falcon]

So if it is double 6* rate up then you won't be able to get both in guaranteed pity?

[worldly gazelle]

Tomfoolery and testing

[nimble kite]

You don't have Sanity and you wanna try a stage.

It's even better for us giving the idea to clear that stage.

[tidal pond]

true

[urban sleet]

I am pretty sure it was 60 2 years back but oh well

[lilac falcon]

Wait, that 300 pulls guaranteed, only happens once ?

[nimble kite]

Yes. Once-time offer.

And you can buy any old Limited from Spark shop. If you wish to.

[worldly gazelle]

Isn't it that some limited cost 200 to get?

[nimble kite]

Yes, most oldest one.
Chalter will have 200 on HoshiAlter banner.

[graceful vigil]

the older ones

[lilac falcon]

Okay that clears up. Thanks

[dense veldt]

should i pull this banner or save for next? i just got back to the game

[safe tundra]

wait for a few days

[nimble kite]

No. You may have same chances to get ONLY non-Limited Rateup character the same as get ONLY Limited Rateup character.

My no Viviana VS P5 Arturia incident is literal proof.

[lilac falcon]

[slender temple]

There's no hard pity on limited banner?

[lone valley]

300

[nimble kite]

For Limited character, I already said - 300.
It doesn't guarantee you non-Limited tho.

So you either spark her, or miss her, waiting for being Shoperator or spook offrate.

[frail thunder]

Bruh I literally have p5 Viviana just to get 1 arturia 😭 😭

[native helm]

Hi, kinda new here. Is rerolling highly recommended?

Or is it only applicable to those veteran players?

[nimble kite]

Depends on what ops you have now.

Maybe you want reroll for a better headstart.

[formal shadow]

it's moderately recommended

[native helm]

Okay, thanks. What characters should I prioritize to get?

[nimble kite]

First of all, show what do you have now.

Then we'll see and give advices to pull.

[native helm]

Got it, I'll send it after the tutorial.

[formal shadow]

right now it's ulpianus but if you hit offrates like logos tragodia mlynar etc it's a keeper also

[deft aspen]

For the six star characters what should be my next target? I mean next character/mastery/module etc. https://krooster.com/u/mikasa

[latent wraith]

How do u equip stainless Skill to other ops?

[meager apex]

Who is on the banner rn

[nimble kite]

??????

[pearl forge]

So according to the news the sanity refund is 100% in the future? So the practice mode is kind of unneeded? Except out of stamina?

[nimble kite]

Open the game and you'll see.

[meager apex]

I don't have it rn
If I did
I would've just do what you said

[blissful berry]

ulp Irene and doro

2 separate banners

[meager apex]

Thanks
Merry Christmas

[ocean violet]

I can't get past 2- 3 T.T

[latent wraith]

Does ally just get the bonus?

[ocean violet]

taskete kudasai 😭

[blissful berry]

prog your team or just borrow a support

[nimble kite]

When you deploy his summon, watching on this op, he gets the +12% ATK.

Depending on his skill you pre-installed before battle starts is working one.

[slim tusk]

point device to an op
that op get the buff

[ocean violet]

This is what I use

[latent wraith]

So just Put the other ops on its range

[nimble kite]

You block all the entrances from left, top and bottom and defend from right side.

[deft aspen]

Anyone? Or should I just wait to build leizi2?

[nimble kite]

You deploy op you want to buff.
Then deploy the summon that turned to that op.
Profit.

[ocean violet]

yep but even bubble E1 lvl 10 cant hold much longer 🥀.. which defenders are the best

I got matternhorn, Beagle , Gummy

[nimble kite]

...Bubble is already sufficient.

[turbid ocean]

NG Suzuran are considerations for the future but not high prio
Maybe E2 Ptilopsis but also not a high priority...
I see Vermeil is unbuilt for base

[ocean violet]

Mhm I'll try hardRer 🕊️

[nimble kite]

Thorns is shit pre-E2, Orchid and Gravel does nothing really.

Weak point is not enough healing for you.

[ocean violet]

gotta do thorn-maxxing now

[bitter anvil]

Lemon S3M3
can look into mon3tr S3 as well

Nightingale can be useful but if leizi comes out soon better to save mats for her

[turbid ocean]

E2 Silverash first, Thorns is mediocre at most iwth E2

[nimble kite]

Do the SilverAsh E2 first. E2 Platinum is unfortunate waste, tho.

[turbid ocean]

Specific stage help goes to #strategy if you need it
But this channels fine for general squad / operator building

[deft aspen]

I don't use ptilopsis. I just use monster and saria for heals.

So i should just wait for leizi2 now? I'll also be getting hoshi2 and haruka

Then later build ng, suzu when needed?

[turbid ocean]

Oh right yeah you don't need another E2 medic for a while

NG Suzu are strong niche

So yeah relatively low prio

[blissful berry]

is thorns worth getting a module for? seems like people generally feel hes quite mid

[turbid ocean]

Yes you can afford to wait for Leizi2,
Do Lemuen S3 and Saria S1 if you got resources
Saria mody1

[deft aspen]

Thanks, saria module mastery and SA mod 3 not necessary? He is at mod2

[bitter anvil]

also next time ask before mod invest, I think Lemon Mod2->Mod3 is a waste of materials

[hollow jackal]

module to make him usable, but thats it really

[turbid ocean]

Saria S1M1 is good starting place and important breakpoint, you can even stop there

Sash mod3 is also ideal but not high prio

Lemuen masteries will matter the most

[blissful berry]

ic I guess il just grab it since im quite close already

[bitter anvil]

if you really wanna get Saria module, the damage reduction one at Mod1 is fine

Silverash yeah Mod3 if you use him, it helps his damage

[ocean violet]

Yep will do that.☘️

[turbid ocean]

Lemuen masteries > Saria S1M1 + ModY1 > Sash Mod3 > Save
Vermeil base team somewhere in there

[brazen gulch]

Is Kjera a good Mech-Accord Caster, and how useful are Mech-Accord Casters generally, in the average case?

[turbid ocean]

They are generally good stat, but shes so-so

[native helm]

THis is the what i got. I

[turbid ocean]

If newbie, use Click

[turbid ocean]

Shamare will be useful for base later

See pins for selectors + squad

[formal shadow]

would consider rerolling on the banner "anchor in the deep" personally

[bitter anvil]

for 5* rockrock, 6* goldenglow and lappland. 4* has click but you'd use her in base

others are skip

[nimble kite]

He asking for reroll: do or not do btw.

[turbid ocean]

yeah that would be good

[brazen gulch]

Oh, i have rockrock!

[deft aspen]

Thanks a lot guys! I am waiting to reach is5 level 65 to mastery 3 lemuen.

Before i make another mistake, for leizi2 it's s2m3, right? And which module

[brazen gulch]

Cool, thanks for the answers

[formal shadow]

click is nice 0hoper in IS

[dense veldt]

is there any base guide? best ops and such?

[turbid ocean]

Ok you can do rockrock or click
maybe click since more applicable

[turbid ocean]

first do /base in #bot-spam
then check the combo guide in the pins of #r-i-i-c

[formal shadow]

#r-i-i-c pins

[deft aspen]

Thanks a lot!

[dense veldt]

thanks!

[nimble kite]

Reroll 100%.
Either pull Ulpipi banner or wait for LeiziAlter for pulling her.

Best ops are Tragodia, Ines, Mlynar, Logos. You can also ask us, this op has any value to settle or continue rerolling.

[deft aspen]

Cool thanks, I'll remember that

[nimble kite]

Oh yeah, rerolling guide in pins.

[deft aspen]

Can anyone tell me this?

[turbid ocean]

yes thats good use of that M3 ticket

[formal shadow]

yeah
liberator has like 1 module

[turbid ocean]

Leizi S2M3 + Mod1 is fine for you

maybe Mod2 is worth it but maybe later

Only roll Leizi if >150 pulls right now

[deft aspen]

I have like 260+ pulls saved plus 32 from gold certs shop.

[turbid ocean]

Uh not sure what that last part means but only buy if you can buy out

[deft aspen]

I meant i have 274 gold certs so i can buy if needed, and I have 265+ pulls saved already

[turbid ocean]

38 pulls for 258 certs

[deft aspen]

I should still skip ulp, right?

[turbid ocean]

You honestly can afford to go to first 6*

But if you wanna be turbo safe for later stuff don't

(Sakiko)

[supple zinc]

here are my invested units
rn I've speedran majority of the content, and now focusing on IS for resources to raise units

what unit should I get from the upcoming banner? I feel like I'm missing a healer, should I raise silence to e2 60 or wait for a 6* healer?

I did borrow wisadel to speedrun most of the content, hence why my investments are wacky

I have 600 originium, 12k orundum and 260 distinctions saved atm.

[nimble kite]

Looks decent. You may pull LeiziAlter for better Waveclearer, or pull HoshiAlter with Haruka, since it has 6☆ healer, as you said, and she's quite good.

Also Sakichan is something, so you can pull her too.

[supple zinc]

so basically the collab banner and limited? I don't need leizi though since I got tragodia for that. I've seen what she does

[nimble kite]

If you skip LeiziAlter, those two banners are good to pull, yeah.

[formal shadow]

leizi alter is tragodia sidegrade?

[supple zinc]

or I pray for eyja spook from hoshialter banner, I suppose that works too lol

[nimble kite]

Haruka is better.

[supple zinc]

I heard about her being the best raw healer, but honestly I think I need better map coverage.

[nimble kite]

Haruka covers enough tiles and EyjaAlter S3 not much used than S1.

[deft aspen]

I'm in a place where there's very bad internet connection rn, so can't even attach screenshot of my squad.

So i will write their names-
ines, SA, grace, cuora, saria, trago, lappa, monster, kroos2,exu2, lemon, teq.

I don't want to pull someone who will be benched lol, so i dunno really...

[shadow bay]

i have 130 ish pulls should i pull leizi???? 🥹

[turbid ocean]

You have much that can replaced in a heart beat for Ulpi lol

[supple zinc]

I've noticed that, some of the times when I borrow eyja for certain content where wisadel isn't viable I do borrow her instead

jt8-3 lmao

[deft aspen]

This is my squad rn, i don't wanna pull for someone who will be benched lol. So i dunno what to do

[turbid ocean]

Lappy Cuora Grace can be kicked in a heart beat

Ulpianus will definitely not be benched lol

For general content hes one of the strongest to exist

[supple zinc]

for gladiia and oldpenis? I'm assuming?

[turbid ocean]

No

[nimble kite]

Ok. Still, my decision is final. Haruka is better than EyjaAlter overall. Even global heal cannot make me think otherwise.

Do with that info anything you want.

[turbid ocean]

Gladiias mid

And unnecessary

[supple zinc]

I see I see

[supple zinc]

@turbid ocean I need a tank, so probably cope with gladiia and oldpenis, and either get haruka or raise silence to e2?

[turbid ocean]

You don't need a tank

[supple zinc]

I need to learn about her kit and range more

[turbid ocean]

You have so much dps you can just brute force everything

Ulpianus and ZuoLe can hold almost anything in the game

[supple zinc]

the friendly wisadel with 1 key delete button for 99% of the content:

[turbid ocean]

ZuoLe wants modx3 + masteries or hes significantly weaker

[nimble kite]

If you need a tank, Ulpipi + Gladiia combo isn't that bad either, 30% Damage Reduction does its thing.

[deft aspen]

So like do till first 6 star then stop, or I will miss out on saikiko? Did i understand right

[supple zinc]

also passive HP regen

[turbid ocean]

Gladiia ulpi is easy braindead gameplay

But Gladiia isn't necessary

[nimble kite]

Not a big deal, imo.

[supple zinc]

ah ic

[turbid ocean]

Uh kind of yes... Im debating still whether you cna

Well you essentially have 300 pulls right now
You can afford to drop 50 here and maybe another 50-80 on Leizi2

[supple zinc]

I mean, for grinding IS what do you think I should raise next out of my roster?
