[lost dirge]

Oh, that Excel does not include 6* ones

[jovial urchin]

Why not? I mean the missions refresh themselves so you're not really missing out

[pseudo flume]

Just ask here

[split ermine]

It does ! Look at the sheets named by classes (Sniper, Guard, Defender, and etc)

[cobalt prairie]

alright cool

[lost dirge]

Oh, I see, I am blind lmao

[burnt tree]

wait whats the conclusion here

[lost dirge]

Bruh, I really have not thought much about this game in years

[pseudo flume]

It depends on the Def and Res

[rain forge]

Why does res go above 100

[abstract mauve]

because some enemies have res that goes above 100

[nimble zenith]

wow logos flopped

[pseudo flume]

That can happen

[rain forge]

dang

I’m guessing the logos damage after 100 res is the one including necrosis

[burnt tree]

ah, yeah i was confused because they are 2 different damage type and they function differently

[bitter anvil]

ao debuffs are weaker probs

[nimble zenith]

he has a res shred

so the graph has a kink at 105 instead of 95

[bitter anvil]

When will arts dmg be good again 🥀

[nimble zenith]

when titi
trust

[pseudo flume]

Theres no 100% Dmg reduction btw, if it gets to that point the ops deal 5% of the dmg they were supposed to do

[burnt tree]

logos is good arts damage 😔

[bitter anvil]

everyone has res, res hurts more fhan def

[pseudo flume]

For example an op has 500 atk and the enemy has 500 def then the op is forced to do 5% of that as dmg

[nimble zenith]

we have no t0 arts damage 🥀

[pseudo flume]

Yeah

[rain forge]

What if 501 atk 500 def

[nimble zenith]

still 5%

[bitter anvil]

u do 5% of 501

[burnt tree]

what are some t0 phys beside wis?

[rain forge]

I’m confused I thought def calculation was just atk-def

[nimble zenith]

mlynar fr

[bitter anvil]

Leizi I think

[pseudo flume]

Its subtraction yeah

[bitter anvil]

I watched a vid on this yesterday actually

[pseudo flume]

But our ops must deal dmg

[quick jolt]

it is but the operator will always deal 5% of their atk as a minimum

[rain forge]

ah alr

[pseudo flume]

Enemies when dealing dmg to us gets negated

Myrtle killing Last Steam Knight

[bleak wave]

Seeing how the gacha of this game is absolutely a mess how can i get the wheelchair pink lady? Does she get reruns? Does she appears in the cert shop? How does that even work? Can i lose a 50/50 to her?

Cn had a banner with her but apparently is trash

[burnt tree]

the what is a what
ah ragebaiter

[quick jolt]

1. no rerun
2. yes she will be in shop but itll take a few years
3. yes you can lose 50/50 to her

[bleak wave]

Yeah you now get how i feel

[jovial urchin]

You can get her, she doesn't have a rerun banner, she will eventually, long story, yes

[keen anvil]

Exusia Alter

[pseudo flume]

1. Offrate or Random Rate up
2. No
3. Yes, 2 years later
4. What?

[faint quarry]

i cant found this item in commendation shop this month pls help

[rain forge]

I thought her damage was dogshit by virtue of being a defender

[nimble zenith]

you can buy her with $30 in like half a year

[burnt tree]

this person is known ragebaiter, ignore is the best button

[pseudo flume]

Pins

[quick jolt]

pretty sure they are just clueless

[bleak wave]

For 4- cn had a banner but apparently it's a no guarantee 25% chance to get her and apparently it's not even guaranteed we'll get it

[pseudo flume]

Im leaning more on clueless

[burnt tree]

yeah but the point is that if you see your cuora deal minimal damage, which implies minimal damage threshold exists

[quick jolt]

what CN has doesnt matter, our standard rotating banners are different

[rain forge]

fair enough

[pseudo flume]

That would be 25/25/50 since its the icky rotating standard banner

[burnt tree]

they might be clueless that’s fair, but i think i’ve had 3 convo with them and none are pleasant

[nimble zenith]

im not about to hear gacha criticisms from somebody with an hsr pfp

[bleak wave]

I'm asking a fucking question can you be helpful for once i insead of insulting me or calling me a rage baiter

[bleak wave]

Yeah so I'm just confused on how the banners work

[pseudo flume]

The 50/50 only happens on the Solo Rate Up Banner

[keen anvil]

Hey HSR was good at one point
They had Sparkle at least

[quick jolt]

lemuen is in the standard pool. when you pull on a banner and you dont get the rateup, the 6star you get is picked randomly from a large pool of standard operators (which you can view in the details of each banner)

[nimble zenith]

the standard banners with 25/25 are almost never worth it

[rain forge]

hsr became p2w slop after 2.4

[pseudo flume]

https://imgur.com/guOgtld

[burnt tree]

sparxie*

[nimble zenith]

are you pulling for sparxie

[bleak wave]

Thx for the info

[keen anvil]

Don't remind me of that emotional damage

[severe crypt]

Damn yall still play slop

[bleak wave]

Thx for this imma save it

[keen anvil]

I rejoined the game purely to pull for Sparxie

[nimble zenith]

i love my slop dearly

[burnt tree]

i don’t. i just like to keep up with the leaks reddit since it’s really funny

[pseudo flume]

Moving on from the HSR talk

[bleak wave]

Not the point i just find it REALLY confusing

[radiant pelican]

Who’s the best use for this aside from lemon s3?

[bleak wave]

Also I don't even play hsr anymore

[quick jolt]

basically its unlikely youll get lemuen randomly. your best chance is waiting for her to appear as a rateup on a random banner. usually these arent advised to pull but if you really want her its the best shot, unless you feel like paying $30 for a 6star selector in ~november to get her

[jovial urchin]

Hmm, what would be the confusing part that you don't t get right now?

[keen anvil]

Anyone who you plan on M3ing

[bleak wave]

Ugh, sounds like a pain thx

[burnt tree]

anyway i do agree the banner rerun is confusing, but the tldr is: ONLY non-limited side story get a rerun

[radiant pelican]

bru i got lemon twice from the standard banner trying to get zuo le

[bleak wave]

There's many types of banners with different rates for the rate ups, some have 50/50 like systems some don't some have guaranteed some don't

[radiant pelican]

I mean like maybe there are particlar m3s which are expensive, like use newer mats?

[pseudo flume]

The infographic i sent explains all of it

[abstract mauve]

you can still word that to be more accurate

[bleak wave]

Yeah i saved it thx

[burnt tree]

this mean cny, summer, 2 celebrations, chapter & vignette banner don’t get a rerun

[jovial urchin]

Actually yeah confusing, that part I agree.
We have an infographic for it iirc

[burnt tree]

non-limited, non collab side story?

[quick jolt]

yeah astrel sent the infographic already

[keen anvil]

If that's the issue just use it when you wanna mastery a skill you think is expensive
You can find all the costs for masteries and stuff on the wiki

[thick fiber]

I never did see Orienteering banner because I was a returning player, so is it a good idea to pull on it?

[dense bridge]

should i build something else guys: https://krooster.com/u/moro ?

[pseudo flume]

I feel like making a Glossary pf Terms because people are confused on some of them

[quick jolt]

generally no because of banner timing, and no unless at minimum 2/6 of the choices are really meta. the first one for example had logos/ines so it wasnt the worst thing ever, but the ones after that have really all sucked

[abstract mauve]

sidestory is inaccurate since intermezzi is a different term that also gets a rerun. vina gets a rerun for example

[nimble zenith]

intermezzi isnt a term anymore

[burnt tree]

fine fine i just call intermezzo side story, mb 😔

[abstract mauve]

is side story referenced in the game anymore?

[keen anvil]

Global also gets worse orienteerings than CN bc fuck us

[quick jolt]

guarantee the one with trag and mon3tr is going to jsut have neither of them

[burnt tree]

global orienteering are inherently lower value cuz we get clairvoyance anyway

[maiden plover]

Is hoe a good draft for IS6?

[keen anvil]

I see, thank you! I

not particularly. hes nothing special anywhere besides is5

[burnt tree]

come back in a week to see if he got an IS module 🔥

[quick jolt]

he didnt

[lone valley]

He didnt

[pseudo flume]

Ehh not particularly

[burnt tree]

oh rip, do we know if it’s mody or modd

[quick jolt]

its whatever crushers currently dont have

[pseudo flume]

We can guess based on the Icon

[lone valley]

ModY, delta would have the triangle on the icon

[pseudo flume]

∆

[rain forge]

do the mod classifications (x, y, delta) mean anything

[nimble zenith]

the twitter page calls them side stories
in the ingame description for event crystals it says intermezzo
so it seems like they’re roughly interchangeable now

[quick jolt]

X/Y not really. delta mods are unique to that operator and they for some reason are almost always elemental damage based with the exception of ela

[lone valley]

Different effect, delta usualy elem dmg

[pseudo flume]

X and Y is the general class module
∆ is the module that's custom to the operator

[rain forge]

ah alr

[burnt tree]

rip my necrosis hoederer 😔

[nimble zenith]

just wait for third mod

[keen anvil]

It'll make him broken some other way trust

[nimble zenith]

watch it be a revive mod

[keen anvil]

):

[lone valley]

ModY is gonna buff his first talent so, probably a dmg buff for him if anything
So the 4 hoe users can be happy
Right @cursive maple

[quick jolt]

well its gonna buff his crit talent, will probably be more damage based, but honestly the survivability on his 1st mod is really nice too

[abstract mauve]

what if it buffs his sanctuary

[burnt tree]

thats modx

[quick jolt]

his current mod does that, is there any case of a X/Y mod buffing same talent?

[keen anvil]

I'm part of this group as well

[nimble zenith]

plus santuary mod1 effect

[abstract mauve]

ok but slightly less than mod x but it gives him a 5% fragility to enemies blocked

[nimble zenith]

yes

[quick jolt]

who

[burnt tree]

[lone valley]

If 2 mods effect the same talent
Thats stinky

[abstract mauve]

a lot

Condolences

[kindred root]

Hoe new mod should buff his pecs

[lavish monolith]

• First thing you need to know there are 3 kinds of banner pools; standard, limited and kernel.

• Lemuen falls into standard banner.

• Lets say you are pulling on the current standard, Mylnar-Zuo banner which has lemuen offrate.

• The rate was like this 50% devided by zuo le and mylnar aka 25% each.

• And 50% for the rest of the pools, offrate.

• Your chance to get lemuen is 1/40 (the whole offrate pools) * 50% = 0.0125% on each pulls.

• As for the 6★ pity count. It adds up +2% after 50 pulls (if you havent got any 6★ previously). the pity resets once you get a 6★.

cmiiw. cheers 🍻

[keen anvil]

He does his job well and that's all I need

[lone valley]

Yea the underpaid intern also does his job and noone cares

Unfair

[burnt tree]

what is hoe’s other talent?

[abstract mauve]

silence alter as well has both her mods buff the same talent

[pseudo flume]

We have like 7 Module Type

Module X, Module Y, Module ∆

Module α is split into RA-A, SO-A, SO-B and ISW-A

Higher attack, do more damage when target is bound or stunned

[bright lake]

are all 3 ops for the new event CN side, Minos operators?

[lone valley]

Atk increase to 110 by default
Increases to 140 when enemy is stunned or bound
The other gives him sanc

[burnt tree]

yeah but i can already imagine 115/150

[keen anvil]

Well sometimes mods do something completely unrelated to the talent or jack the numbers up so much they're good anyways

[nimble zenith]

raidian

[abstract mauve]

is6 exclusive mods for raidian

[burnt tree]

she’s already being sentenced into being an incantation medic with a sleep niche AND being on the same banner with lucilla rate up, thats enough.

it means wisadel

If you pull tragodia you get a 2 in 1 cat deal

[burnt tree]

her banner is also just kinda bad, esp with perfumer being a helidrop abjurer

[lavish monolith]

Trc did it better

[pseudo flume]

At least I can have a break and can save up pulls

[nimble zenith]

nobody gaf about 5*s tbf

Chocolate cat is very tempting

[shrewd peak]

Can we move on from this they didnt even release the operators kits (not that i think they are good)

[nimble zenith]

should i get typhon second mod

[burnt tree]

last one i promise but if you watch the trailer, perfumer s2 (s1 show her healing), she deployed with a flowerbed surrounded her, so she is most likely “on deploy” or something

[quick jolt]

no fuck typhon

[shrewd peak]

Its better than the first one

[pseudo flume]

I mean that's the one that benefits S2

[burnt tree]

typhon jn ‘26 😔

how well does chalter hold up today

[pseudo flume]

She's still a good op btw and not garbage 🚬

[shrewd peak]

she does her job

[abstract mauve]

new mod helps her a shit ton. she's just decent now

[quick jolt]

shes fine and her mod that releases like this month is actually a massive buff to her

[nimble zenith]

get her laundry skin and new mod and she’s good as new

[pseudo flume]

Ehhh upper part of good

[fading saddle]

Is it worth getting and building contrail?

[nimble zenith]

does anyone have a dps chart of pre/post mod

[burnt tree]

does her mod make other’s talent on water tile count too? aka does it buff c*ylon

[pseudo flume]

I'll probably give her range of Middle - Upper Good for Chalter

[quick jolt]

apparently yes

[burnt tree]

NO FUCKING WAY CEYLON BUFF

[pseudo flume]

[rain forge]

what about Pepe and gavial the [titlecard]

pepe is like fine but i cant speak for gavial

im sticking to old gavialter mod

[cinder hearth]

[burnt tree]

chalter is your best cert if you somehow get to 200 by being unlucky

[quick jolt]

nobody is worth sparking in that fuckass operator pool

i think gavial is probably a bit better than pepe
though pepe high dph might have a more standout niche

[burnt tree]

im not an eyja alter believer im sorry, also haruka is on banner

@burnt tree This isn't the right place to be slandering other users and calling them "ragebaiters". You are here to only properly answer or ask questions, nothing else. If you see someone breaking rules or actually baiting users dm a moderator.

@rain forge You are only here to help others about Arknights. Not discussing other gacha games. Next time it will be a warn. Read the pinned rules to avoid infractions in the future

i do still want her but poor 😔

[astral junco]

does lim characters rerun?

[shrewd peak]

No

[cinder hearth]

I'd argue Pepe actually has a defined niche in the form of s3, and her s2 also ramps up to be a passable laneholder especially if modded.
Gavialt has, uh, basically the pull niche and that's it.

[rain forge]

nope

you can spark them on other limited banners

[quick jolt]

they dont rerun but they arent impossible to get. just very expensive

[astral junco]

how much would spark be?

[quick jolt]

300 pulls

[nimble zenith]

do you have total damage
also why did you include every mod level

[burnt tree]

200/300

[shrewd peak]

300 shards which is 300 pulls

old limiteds are worth 200

[astral junco]

and how often does lim banner come?

[shrewd peak]

every 3 months
there are 3 different pools though

[astral junco]

anniversary+half anniversary?

[quick jolt]

every ~3 months but theres 3 different types of limited banners. 2/3 of the limited pools are available once a year, the other is available twice a year

[shrewd peak]

If you want a celebration limited it happens twice a year, summer and cny happen once

cny

Chinese new year

[nimble zenith]

thx astrel

Next cny banner in EN is august

[astral junco]

ohh i see tysm

around there at least

[pseudo flume]

Take that graph with a grain of salt because sometimes the bot is wrong

[nimble zenith]

did you specifically prompt it for all mod levels btw

[burnt tree]

next cny unit announced is somewhere after jan

[cinder hearth]

Summer is probably the worst pool on average.
Sui gets carried by Shu these days.
Anni has good ones.

[burnt tree]

yu slander 😔

[rain forge]

do all of the previous limited ops for a limited banner type (cny summer and celebration) become offrates for the next version of their limited banner type or only 4-5 of them

[quick jolt]

yu is like fine but i fear he might be genslop

[cinder hearth]

Yu is a comfort pick who also falls off in hard content.

[nimble zenith]

did you see kukkis new vid
he said yu>shu 🪒

smh i just got a warn

the mods are pushing a shu agenda

w fucking suck too 😔 is she getting a new mod in cn?

[shrewd peak]

No

[quick jolt]

no bro she is not getting shit ever

no
she’s an eternal flop

[cinder hearth]

W got alter

[quick jolt]

she gets wisadel thats what she gets

[lunar apex]

flop but still perform okay in general gameplay, just not as good as other operators

[cinder hearth]

She also got more story time than Ascalon could ever dream of in main story

But that's a story for another time.

[astral junco]

wait so the next limited banner will have new limited+these?

[pseudo flume]

All of them are Offrates just split into 5x and 1x Offrate

[burnt tree]

is w modx or y better?

[shrewd peak]

Yes

[cinder hearth]

Yup.

[lunar apex]

The game was designed so that there still a way for 4 star roster to clear the stage
Thats okay enough

[shrewd peak]

Chalter is 200 shards rest is 300

[quick jolt]

as well as a new standard operator running alongside the new limited who shares the rateup

[astral junco]

35/35/30 right

[burnt tree]

bandori ex-8-cm

[nimble zenith]

when is the cn is6 expansion btw

[quick jolt]

and that 30 contains the entire standard pool + those 4 old limiteds, 3 of which have boosted rates (they are still shit you will probably still have to do 300 to get them)

[abstract mauve]

35 new limited/ 35 new standard/ 30 standard op pool + 5x limited op pool+ 1x limited op pool

[lunar apex]

Yea ofc, I didnt even mention the IS, vector, cc,...

end of jan

[pseudo flume]

Here's the explanation on how the limited system work albeit using an old banner as the example

[abstract mauve]

errr. do we actually know when it is?

[nimble zenith]

what guard should i draft first in is5

[robust thistle]

xiaohei

[pseudo flume]

Windscoot or Xiaohei

[nimble zenith]

now why would i use him in is5

[robust thistle]

oh Is5, you draft guards there? humus or utage ig

[pseudo flume]

Oh wait IS5 😂

[cinder hearth]

Quartz :ya:

On a serious note humus would be my pick

[pseudo flume]

God IS6 has damaged me badly

[cinder hearth]

Have you considered the damage came from before that

[nimble zenith]

you were plenty damaged before dw

[burnt tree]

23rd jan

[split ermine]

Quartz, Humus, Amiya are good for low rarity guards

[astral junco]

ohh so old limited has 5x value?

[pseudo flume]

I draft Utage for the spikes

[pseudo flume]

Smh 🚬

[quick jolt]

the 3 newest old ones (what) do. the oldest ones do not

[cinder hearth]

Oh that works too.

[astral junco]

how long does limited banner last?

[nimble zenith]

2w

[quick jolt]

all banners in ak last 14 days

[burnt tree]

beginner banner in shambles

[cinder hearth]

Like it wasn't already.

[burnt tree]

beginner banner won’t be THAT bad if they put eyja instead of exu, trust

[nimble zenith]

was skadi considered good on release

[quick jolt]

they will just put mlynar in the beginner banner dw

[rustic fiber]

Hi guys, in a 2-5-2 base layout, how many factories should I set to produce gold, and how many to produce exp?

[pseudo flume]

3 to 2 depending on situation

[nimble zenith]

2-3 of each depending on how much gold you use

[quick jolt]

2 of each and 1 is flex. switch between as you must

[burnt tree]

no.

[rustic fiber]

I see, thanks guys

[lunar apex]

good bye tequila

[quick jolt]

no they'll still get tequila u cant insta e2 mlynar 🙄

[pseudo flume]

They'll E2 Gracebearer or La Pluma if they pull them

[quick jolt]

actually is e1 mlynar s2 better than e2 tequila

[burnt tree]

everyone and their mom skip skadi because ch’en s2 helidrop was considered good, at least in global
iirc in cn player have a big problem with ch’en not helidropping despite being show in the pv that cause hg to change it
wow i am old

[nimble zenith]

oh so chen was the meta

[pseudo flume]

Her S2 was a big thing back then

[nimble zenith]

should i s2m3 her

[pseudo flume]

Alongside Hoshi S3 and Blaze S3

[burnt tree]

it one shot the purple drone in chapter 5!!!!

[nimble zenith]

i’m sold

[pseudo flume]

Blaze and Hoshi S3 is dead tech now

[burnt tree]

magallan was also considered meta with mayer (just very big brain)
flamebringer was always dogshit on release though

[nimble zenith]

use them with exu s2 to negate the aspd debuff

[burnt tree]

back then in help there’s a big narrative of “there are no operator, only bad dokutah” too so a lot of unit were considered “good”

obviously there are some exceptions, like flamebringer and ceylon who is doa, but idk if this is outside the scope of the question

[lunar apex]

because there wasnt too many cheaper or better options to put your resources into them
There has never been a bad operators, only operators with less favourable option because invest in them is not worth it
the game has very limited resources

[burnt tree]

oh and ceobe was consider a skip on her banner despite one of her talent 1 used to deal true dmg (en never got it though)

[pseudo flume]

"There no bad operator just bad dokutah"

[pseudo flume]

The Splash Caster Category is pretty dead

[golden cedar]

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

I am planning on Hoshi2 and Haruka. Should be able to do 300 pull if needed. What would be the best next steps to take afterward?

[burnt tree]

oh that’s fair, by mostima it’s already dead

[pseudo flume]

Arts Dmg*

[pseudo flume]

Ines S2 Masteries then Hoshi2 S3M3 and Haruka S2M3 Mod1

[golden cedar]

Thank you!

[burnt tree]

there wasn’t a bug back then on cn release that make her talent deal true dmg instead? maybe i have been lied too

[pseudo flume]

Also raise your Base Slaves

[astral junco]

do u think its worth rerolling if i dont get anything from limited banner?
i have nothing on my acc rn lol

[pseudo flume]

That I have no idea because im not ancient enough

[quick jolt]

itd be worth rerolling like right now lol
mlynar on current standard banner is a very good target. arguably still the best guard in the game

[pseudo flume]

I mean sure

[burnt tree]

me too, i’m a new player 😔

[burnt tree]

i’d say so, aim for mlynar

[astral junco]

yea but what if i would get nothing with 40 pulls on the new reroll too

[quick jolt]

well its not like you're gonna straight up delete this current account. can have multiple and see what happens

[silk escarp]

what is rerolling🥲

[pseudo flume]

@golden cedar base slaves is in #bot-spam using the /baseskills command and #r-i-i-c pins Spreadsheet on the Noob Tab

[burnt tree]

salting is a good method

[quick jolt]

making a new account and using the free pulls you get at the start to pull on a specific banner for a specific operator, repeating the process until you get them

[pseudo flume]

Making a new account to have an optimal start

[astral junco]

making a lot of email is tiring

[silk escarp]

Thank you

[pseudo flume]

Salting is just [e-mail]

[pseudo flume]

Its using Guest Accounts until you get what you want

[quick jolt]

you dont have to, you can use 1 email for all accounts. just add numbers to it:
[e-mail], [e-mail], etc. all goes to the same inbox

[pseudo flume]

That's what you call salting

[astral junco]

do that when limited banner comes out?
if i dont get anything on the one i have rn

[pseudo flume]

Its not the final account unless you bind it to a Yostar Account

[burnt tree]

yeah but it avoid you making multiple emails which is very convenient for people who isn’t familiar with reroll

[quick jolt]

if you feel like it, rerolling for mlynar now and praying you get hoshialt on that same account later is not a bad idea. if not, you can just reroll again during hoshi's banner

[pseudo flume]

Sure if you want a perfect start

[astral junco]

people did tell me to wait 16th jan

[pseudo flume]

That's not necessary but that's the optimal one

[quick jolt]

starting with mlynar and hoshialt and/or haruka would be insanely strong so like id risk it

[cinder hearth]

I thought you do silveranus if you're salting

[pseudo flume]

That's when you have shit banners

[cinder hearth]

Real

[pseudo flume]

Zuo Le and Mlynar is not a bad reroll banner

[nimble zenith]

won’t mlynar banner end before hoshi starts

[pseudo flume]

Plus if you get Logos, Tragodia, Ines, Lemuen and Mlynar then your having a great start

[astral junco]

i think multiple emails with 10 pulls farmed and with mylnar idk

[quick jolt]

depends on the date of hoshi banner but that doesnt really matter. if they dont get hoshi, they can just ditch the mlynar account to reroll for hoshi. who i would rather have over mlynar im ngl

[silk escarp]

What upcoming banners should I save for as a starter

[pseudo flume]

Roll for Mlynar and pray on Hoshi2 banner freebies

[pseudo flume]

Banner Priority under Useful Links in pins

[quick jolt]

or fuck it have a bunch of accounts with mlynar surely youll get hoshi on one of them it really depends on how dedicated one is to rerolling

[burnt tree]

when is mlynar banner ending?

[crisp dawn]

“and”

bro wants a quintuple 6* pull

[crisp dawn]

In 12-13 days iirc?

[quick jolt]

the 16th

[pseudo flume]

Im tired 🥱

[burnt tree]

oh

[astral junco]

whats hoshialt and haruka?

[crisp dawn]

Oh oops yeah it’s 16th

[quick jolt]

hoshialt is the upcoming limited and haruka is the standard op running alongside her

[burnt tree]

japanese women

joke aside hoshialt and haruka are all super strong unit

both also have accessibility tool (read: afk slop) for new players too

[astral junco]

whats accessibility tool

[silk escarp]

How do I do this mission 😭

[nimble zenith]

just play the game normally until it randomly gets completed

[pseudo flume]

Just let be, you'll eventually finish it

[nimble zenith]

also do recruitment daily

[pseudo flume]

Getting all 3 stars completes that already

[burnt tree]

also all the other faction are incredibly hard to get

[split ermine]

"Archives" under "Friends" -> "Network" -> "Trust Overview"
Here are some factions ! The 3 first ones in the list consist of 2/3* only, that will be enough to complete the quest

[silk escarp]

Should I be headhunting for it or just stick w/ recruitment

[quick jolt]

dont waste pulls for that. just recruitment

[pseudo flume]

Recruitment

[nimble zenith]

should i build swire alt for base

[quick jolt]

build her for is6!

[astral junco]

is invincible gavial, pepe also worth if i get them when rerolling instead of hoshialt and haruka

[quick jolt]

not really

[astral junco]

so i should only reroll for the latter ones?

[quick jolt]

they arent particularly bad starts you would just much rather hoshi

haruka is great but shes also just a healer so as a STARTER she is less impactful too

[astral junco]

because on the reroll document they are higher than haruka and hoshi is only same as pepe

[quick jolt]

i wouldnt worry too much about that

[ocean perch]

i was told that the tiny medals near on the squads in IS2 change color based on difficuly every 5 levels, but I'm at difficulty 12 now and haven't seen them change, does anyone know why

[quick jolt]

hoshi is objectively more useful than pepe, both in general and high-end content

[cinder hearth]

Hoshi mogs peepee so hard it's not even funny

[keen glade]

I'm currently raising my Irene. are either of her other skills good to raise besides S3, and which module is her best one?

[teal elk]

proof?

[cinder hearth]

This is like asking for the proof to 1+1=2 but you aren't a math prof.

[astral junco]

what about eyjafjalla hvit aska? is she bad for new accounts
like doesnt help much

[formal shadow]

I mean pepe has had pretty much 0 relevance since her release

[abstract mauve]

mod x for irene

[cinder hearth]

She can only heal. No DPS sooo

[split ermine]

ModX lv1 , S3 is her main skill

[teal elk]

guardsknight

[quick jolt]

also just a healer, and as a healer she is genuinely completely outclassed by haruka lmao

[formal shadow]

How broken is guard buff

[rain forge]

she’s a pretty damn good healer but she gets mogged by haruka

[burnt tree]

hear me out: s2 make her an aoe caster and so you don’t need to raise lava

[teal elk]

nah she does more dmg than mr mlynar low dph

[cinder hearth]

Waow guard buff that, uh, gets entirely mogged by Mon3tr literally existing.

[nimble zenith]

eyja and haruka sing a fun song together

[astral junco]

what is mogged

[rain forge]

beaten

[teal elk]

mog = a cup or something

[cinder hearth]

Beaten out, in this case.

[nimble zenith]

i think eyja and haruka are still within 15% of each other in terms of power so who really cares

[astral junco]

uhh

[burnt tree]

(and mon3tr kinda cook them both)

[pseudo flume]

Its close enough

[abstract mauve]

mon3tr glaze

[astral junco]

oke got it

[quick jolt]

haruka has higher hps, heals an extra target, and provides 30% sanctuary, so imo it really isnt that close lol

[burnt tree]

25% atk and 55 aspd buff my beloved

[keen glade]

thanks! Also, does Irene S1 still let you slip mines under levitated enemies? been building for aZLing4'knights, so still might raise that skill if I can combo that with Robin

[nimble zenith]

yes

[pseudo flume]

Well rounded niche

[split ermine]

Yes! I've heard it's best to keep it at S1M1 though, cmiiw

[pseudo flume]

Has Phy Ranged, Arts Dps, Medics, Laneholders and a Blocker

[keen glade]

why only m1?

[astral junco]

hoshialt is basically defender who can almost never die?

[quick jolt]

and who also deals a fuckton of arts damage

[pseudo flume]

1st Breakpoint

[burnt tree]

she can always die if you press her s3

[astral junco]

ohh i see

[quick jolt]

but yes high damage nearly unkillable 3 block unit. pretty fucking good

[cinder hearth]

Having a medic in a relatively small niche is actually huge

[burnt tree]

she’s lowkey more of a guard than a defender icl

[pseudo flume]

M1 makes her be at 4 sp while M3 is 3 sp and 200% Atk

[quick jolt]

shes top tier as both

[astral junco]

wait what should i do at rerolling then
10 pull on beginner+10 on limited?

[split ermine]

Iirc when paired with Dorothy S2 the lower SP cost provided by M3 messes up the perma-bind timing

[quick jolt]

dont worry about beginner banner until after you've rerolled. it doesnt really matter who you get from it anyway, youll pick silverash from the 6star selector on day 5 (after you do single pulls on the banner first to not risk a dupe)

[astral junco]

and either blaze/silverash on beginner

[pseudo flume]

Oh

[astral junco]

why is silverash so recommended btw, he needs elite 2 (which is hard to get said by a friend)

[cinder hearth]

If you don't have an external timer, calculator, and spreadsheet going while playing your niche are you really playing nicheknights right

[mellow pollen]

pretty decent so far no ? or am i missing something crucial

[burnt tree]

the other option are not great and e2 is the normal standard we judge unit

[cinder hearth]

Your homegrown looks to be blooming just fine

[quick jolt]

he simply has the highest damage of any of the other options and is the most relevant in current meta. cost of investment isnt really a factor when the lower investment ones will be dropped earlier on

silverash can remain relevant in your squad for a very very long time, even with other meta phys dps

[burnt tree]

can we see your krooster, we want it to guide better

[cinder hearth]

How long do you think it'll take until the mod team finally notices.

[mellow pollen]

i just have some more 5 * and 4*

[keen glade]

also, yeah. very nice list of ops. I hope Titi ends up being Minoan faction, cuz I want to play that squad, but theres so few ops in it for now. only 6, 3 of which are guards...

[quick jolt]

they really do not gaf

[cinder hearth]

Real and true tbh

[split ermine]

Send ur roster, either by binding ur account to Krooster or in-game screenshots

[astral junco]

mail reward are enough for 10 pull on limited?

[mellow pollen]

okay one second

[quick jolt]

sorry no, you get like 8 pulls from mail rewards. but it doesnt have to be a 10 anyway. theres no difference between single pulls and 10 pulls

limited banners also give you a free 10pull for the banner but i believe you cant claim it until completing chapter 0, which probably takes longer than just making a new account

[astral junco]

oke tysm for help

[cinder hearth]

You receive a tenpull to start a limited, then 1 a day, for a total of 24 assuming day 1.
The initial 10 is more than enough to try for a limited.

[burnt tree]

she is most likely not

[cinder hearth]

Titi is sargonion lmaooooo

[nimble zenith]

you should’ve gotten one with mlynar exu alt tragodia too

[keen glade]

fair. she does seem to be a sargonian. but wishful thinking XD

[burnt tree]

i mean they could pull some bullshit like titi is secretly half minoan

[mellow pollen]

i like this guy

[cinder hearth]

I like the money you paid me.
Blogging goes in #arknights

[rain forge]

back to #arknights if you want to blog or shitpost

[abstract mauve]

almost never die? oh no she can die. she's just tanky against arts damage

[quick jolt]

she has 3 health bars basically

[nimble zenith]

she is like yu 2.0

[mellow pollen]

@wraith quartz

[quick jolt]

well 2 but the second one is twice as tanky as the first or whatever

[keen glade]

more upset that croissant ISNT half minoan faction considering she's literally born there. at the very least Perfumer Alter is a 3rd ranged op for the faction

[burnt tree]

girl is just in a very chinese time of her life.

anyway iirc hoshialt gain res with talent, so high enough def will pierce through her

[mellow pollen]

those i feel like are perfect, i dont want to get them out, but the rest is w/e .. also my archers annoy me

[quick jolt]

wdym "your archers annoy you"

[burnt tree]

[rain forge]

[keen glade]

wisadel moment

[mild yacht]

Archers don’t have actual archery, therefore bad.

[quick jolt]

use kroos for drones. wisadel is literally the strongest sniper in the game

[kindred root]

You expect the new player with checks notes beginner ops like yatoalt to read?

[cinder hearth]

Also all lv1 ops until yesterday.

[burnt tree]

god i’d love to see that account getting uploaded on krooster (i want to see the creation date)

[quick jolt]

new player with account older than mine, i sure wonder how this happened

[rain forge]

you expect the person with a homegrown account to read

[cinder hearth]

Clueless but cashful, that's my #help newbies these days

[echo venture]

@mellow pollen hi good sir. you account looks good, can i add you?

[rain forge]

why are you laughing i want friends 🥺

[rain forge]

thank you hermitz 🥹

[cinder hearth]

Friendless bozo

why are you thanking him for making friends?

[mild yacht]

Soliciting friends in the held channel instead of #friend-id channel, smh.

[echo venture]

😳

[thin grotto]

is it possible to cert mlynar when the ato/hoshi alt banner drops?

[quick jolt]

we dont know when that is so

[mild yacht]

Do not assume the banner will last that long.

[solemn void]

Is it possible to change Main Menu soundtrack?

[thin grotto]

ic ic fair

[burnt tree]

i wouldnt risk it if i were you

[mild yacht]

Only way that’ll work is if the event starts at least one day before the launch date.

[cinder hearth]

Yup. Different backgrounds have different bgm

[quick jolt]

different backgrounds have different soundtracks but you cant change the soundtrack individually from the background

[solemn void]

Thank you Goodfellas!

[mellow pollen]

can someone help me choose some more units??

[kindred root]

Didnt your dealer have a description of the account? Just follow that or something

[mild yacht]

You can, however, change the music in your base without having to deal with an ugly background accompaniment.

[rain forge]

Link your account to https://www.krooster.com so we can see your roster

[cinder hearth]

Genuinely seeing op screenshots tells us nothing

[burnt tree]

check pin for recommend newbie, treat wisadel as a caster for that guide’s purpose

[burnt tree]

friend let’s maybe not 😭 poor guy

[quick jolt]

clearly not poor

[rain forge]

[cinder hearth]

Not poor if he could afford yalter. Last I checked the prices on those accounts jump with age.

[rain forge]

krooster is 100% safe

[mild yacht]

Guy already said he wanted to whale for a game he hadn’t even touched yet.

[burnt tree]

do you know 😭

[mellow pollen]

yall weird ngl lol

[rain forge]

shush

[cinder hearth]

F/GO banner it was a given.

[split ermine]

@mellow pollen Linking to Krooster makes it easier to see skill levels and such, sorry for asking so much but that would make things easier for us

[iron dirge]

Fuck uh

Do you even think I could get enough tickets on time

[rain forge]

we’re just trying to help man

[quick jolt]

spam recruitment its possible. check for 4star tags

If you pull

That’s just the natural state of this channel at a mere 99% of the time.

[wraith valve]

Hello guys, I'm looking to build a wandering medic but I don't have Eyjafjalla alter, so who's the next best option?

[rain forge]

[quick jolt]

nobody, you dont need a wandering medic

[kindred root]

Outheal ele dmg that doesnt instakill through upcoming healer op

[wraith valve]

Oh good so I guess I'll let myself get my ults stolen by necrosis

[quick jolt]

nobody other than eyja was going to outheal that anyway

[rain forge]

necrosis isn’t that big of a deal just activate your skills early or just deal with it

[bitter anvil]

just borrow eyja if u don't wanna think about it ig

[fathom nest]

Gonna have to ask you to stop using stickers in this channel, they're also a part of rule 4 in the channel pins

[mild yacht]

Or just… bait it with someone whose skill doesn’t need to be managed.

[mellow pollen]

ohh okay mb

[wraith valve]

Right, thanks!

[tender sleet]

It's been 6 hours, anyone

[hallow saddle]

qiubai s3?

[echo oasis]

What's the best stage to farm coagulated gel

[cinder hearth]

Zuo Le s2 would be my pick

Wis'adel s2 and Tragodia s3 would also be options.

[cold lion]

so I pulled leizi alter and now got myself a mlynar in the shop. should I even bother to level him? is there ever a situation where iw ant to use both?

[rain forge]

Tragodia to level 82 and nobody else really

maybe s3m3 trag

[split ermine]

Are you into IS ?

[tender sleet]

A bit, IS6 is my first

[split ermine]

Yes definitely raise him ! They're great nukes, 2 is better than 1

[cinder hearth]

Is there ever a situation with more than two lanes? Or where you need to attack air and across multiple lanes? Or bait attacks? If so, Mylnar helps a lot.

Leizi s2 is so insanely terrain dependent it's not even funny.

[tender sleet]

He already is M6

[violet ledge]

e2 raidian from start or roberta?

[abstract mauve]

i usually e2 raidian start

[rain forge]

Is he level 82

[cinder hearth]

E2 Raidian start makes life way easier.

[kindred root]

Dont do this, keep radian promo for candellight

[cold lion]

aah but I get to the point where I really have to choose xD
like theoretically in case I build mlynar and get hoshi, how would my A team look?

[tender sleet]

doing that, Ty

[crisp dawn]

pretty much anything you do atp is just a luxury upgrade

tragodia lv82 (only one that actually matters), zuo le s2m3, skalter s2m3, greyy alter for is5, windscoot/luo xiaohei for is6

[cinder hearth]

Small problem, you are now RNG reliant.

[hallow saddle]

guys should I give Qiubai S2 or S3 mastery? (mostly for IS)

[cinder hearth]

That is horrid for consistency across runs.

[abstract mauve]

she isnt used in IS for either so s3

[crisp dawn]

1 if just for is

[cinder hearth]

QB s1 is the IS5 play

[kindred root]

Meh you get enough ticket chances imo

[hallow saddle]

same for IS6?

[abstract mauve]

qiubai isnt used in is6 nor in is5

[cinder hearth]

You don't really, uh, draft QB for IS6

[crisp dawn]

if you get an obscene amount of aspd you can still use her the same way

[hallow saddle]

I use who I want 😎

[abstract mauve]

just stick to s3. you arent using qiubai s1 for fun

[cinder hearth]

If you just want to spam skills s3 is the ones I'd pick.

[hallow saddle]

she's a sui operator tho so you can use that to pass nodes in the dream thing

[cinder hearth]

S1 is a very specific choice for certain bosses

*Yan. 6 hope for a Yan op is, meta-wise, extremely inefficient

Windscoot is also Yan, 0 hope, and a guard.

[hallow saddle]

if you recruit her through candle it's 4

[cinder hearth]

Or Luo Xiaohei, if you happen to have been around back then.

[rain forge]

unless it’s leizi

[cinder hearth]

Now you've blown a guard ticket on not Leizi Alter which meta-wise again kinda sucks.

[rain forge]

is higashi yan I might be stupid

[cinder hearth]

Higashi is Japanese, so unless you count the Japs as Chinese... :P

[rain forge]

nvm

is hoshi1 yan because she is lgd

[cinder hearth]

Lungmen ops all count as Yan because Lungmen is part of Yan

[tender sleet]

Grey Invest? Also Tysm😊

[ancient current]

shite

[crisp dawn]

s1m3 mod1 iirc?

[ancient current]

if my cat could stop walking on my keyboard

[cinder hearth]

ReChord hacked, unlucky

Mods kill his account

[crisp dawn]

there goes ri chard

[split ermine]

Take my advice with a grain of salt as I am quite biased toward high diff IS
If you were to decide to play the other ones (especially because u already own some IS modules), I would suggest raising Greyy Alter and Krooster, also some 4*s such as Ethan S2M3 Mod3 , E2 Mod3 Purestream and E2 S1M3 Gummy for general IS usage;
E1 S7 Windscoot, Luo Xiaohei, E2 S1M3 Waai Fu for IS6;
E1 Vermeil for base combo as well if u use it

[rain forge]

are 4* mods even worth it

[ancient current]

depends

not many are

[hard sluice]

With Mlynar available it would be good to replace my Tequila with him?

[cinder hearth]

Some of them are, though.

[rain forge]

Also what makes vermeil e1 good for base it doesn’t seem that good

[burnt tree]

as someone who have ALL of them: very dependent

[hard sluice]

Sounds good, you served me well tequila

[tender sleet]

I thought totter was also good for IS, is it true? If that really is then how would he be invested in, S2M3 + Mod3?

[hallow saddle]

Since everyone here seems to be an expert in IS6, what's (in your opinion) the BEST way to start a run (Which squad do you pick, what operators do you recruit etc.)

[lavish monolith]

it is good lol.
her team is 2nd best exp team after pinus. also cheaper

[split ermine]

Some are; Purestream's removes the 80% healing cap and Ethan for bind

[hard sluice]

The one with the free temporary Raidian. I take tragodia on the side, pretty much a free win

[bitter anvil]

every squad in IS6 is good, thats what makes it fun, for starter carries u can do wis/leizi/exia/trag/enthel/raidian

2 6* start is also common coz of raidian costing only 2 hope, just try em out and see

[hallow saddle]

I usually pick the support squad for extra hope and ingots and then start with raidian and ulpianus

[iron dirge]

Do I use em lol.

[cinder hearth]

Special squad is a consistent opener so that's definitely one way. Currently there's a few other methods, ie breaching and whatnot
Once hoshi2 arrives deffsupp is the play, if memory serves.

[mellow pollen]

this guy is so strong fml

[burnt tree]

have you purchase any 5* before

[cinder hearth]

Yeah your money really went to good use.

[nimble zenith]

so true bestie

[bitter anvil]

It's a girl btw

[iron dirge]

Honestly don't really know if it's worth pulling just to get a few extra certs anyways

[mellow pollen]

O

[iron dirge]

No

[cinder hearth]

Objectively it's not a good idea to pull.

[ancient lintel]

it's good to reroll on this but not to pull on it lol

[burnt tree]

girl…

[split ermine]

Niche pick, you won't draft him often; May will be your choice as free sniper draft usually, Sniper vouchers are quite contested in IS5 especially if u play flinger comp so I wouldn't worry about Totter

[hallow saddle]

Should I M3 Shu's S1? (it's only M2 atm)

[bitter anvil]

if u have nothing better to put resources in sure

[burnt tree]

holy e2 90, also poor necrass

[lavish monolith]

Do m3 for extra charge

[hallow saddle]

I have quite a few operators without masteries (mostly ones I don't really use) but there could probably be useful ones in there (like, does anyone even use Stainless?)

[iron dirge]

What

[hallow saddle]

Wait lemme ask; Are any of these useful in IS?

[lavish monolith]

You always do m3 anyways. Rarely stop midways.
No reason to be cheap on your mastery. Its not the same as module which has limited resource.

[burnt tree]

(its not worth it)

[bitter anvil]

stainless has no real usage iirc, he is only for meme stuff like lemuen s3 spam or buff army etc

[rain forge]

Mizuki

[mild yacht]

There was Phantom cope for a bit.

[bitter anvil]

Nara high prio

then Mizuki, then Phantom ig, but spec ticket is contested so u won't be drafting him often, not that he is bad by any means

[bitter anvil]

he is decent with IS mod it's just spec has asca/mizuki/ela/exia/yato so like when are u drafting phantom

[mild yacht]

Like I said, there ‘was’ cope.

[split ermine]

Finish your other masteries as well such as Lemuen S3 , Ines S2 , Goldenglow S3 , Shu S3M3 , Eyjalter and so on

[bitter anvil]

nara has good dmg, can also help with hitcount when on right tiles, also is6 ed2 boss, super helpful coz of atk steal

[young glacier]

#strategy message #strategy message (COUGH)

[lavish monolith]

Do mizuki + his IS mod. Your current squad have 0 spec ops and mizuki is the best priority for your current state.

Nara is the second option. You will rarely prio draft her when you have wis and lemon with u

Also, 5★ agents really helps if you have any.

[bitter anvil]

what niche is this😭

[young glacier]

"Boss is blockable so lets stack damage reduction on Quartz for no reason"

[iron dirge]

I got some sanity modules I need to use in 24 hours

plus a level up

hmm should I grind for more tickets

[bitter anvil]

I rmb doing smth like this in Nearl Event trying to tank all blue arrow guys with 1 op + like 5 healers in the last S stage

but it's a meme clear anywa

[kindred root]

which is probably why a newbie wouldnt be recommended to raise them

[static arrow]

Do I get mlydaddy if I have lezi

[rain forge]

Yeah, i guess i meant phantom is meant to be built for qhen you have an established roster without your account being old enough to get some of the good specialists, outside of ascalon non limited specialists are kinda ass

[static arrow]

You know what else they can take turns with? My mom! (She is also a libguard)

[opal girder]

who should i replace for mlynar?

[mild yacht]

Gravel, Texas, Radian…

[neat cedar]

Fastest medic trainer after irene?
Is there faster than warfarin?

[split ermine]

E2 Record Keeper and Aak +5% more than E2 Warfarin
E2 Eyjalter and Papyrus if training a Wandering Medic or Chain Medic respectively gain +45% extra alongside their base +30%

[neat cedar]

Wow no 60% medic trainers?

[split ermine]

My bad, Aak E2 is 60%

[split ermine]

https://tinyurl.com/3ybfa66c
This is a great sheet for all base combos

[neat cedar]

I see, still don't have him

[split ermine]

E2 for base is usually not recommended

[brisk stirrup]

do any of these give more orundum for the weekly orundum?

[split ermine]

All of them do

The Current Mission and Permanent ones, 4 in total

[brisk stirrup]

i meant if one of them gives more than the other

[ancient current]

current rotating anni (grand bazaar) (370) > downtown (350) > outskirts (320) > chernobog (forgor, 280?)

[brisk stirrup]

ty

[bleak wave]

can anyone pls give me the page that lets you see what combinations of recluitment give what

[ancient current]

it's pinned

[bleak wave]

can't find it

[ancient current]

(Puppiiz, aceship fork)

[bleak wave]

thx

just a suggestions but would be easier if the message had a description of what each page does

[bright lake]

how strong is mtn frighten mod?

[errant sparrow]

How do I deal with these stupid flying enemies in IS6. Even my Exu alter takes forever, they are swarms of them early on and then the ones I just lost to on floor 4 are mega tanky

I am sorta new if that helps add context, but man IS feels so hard

[mild yacht]

I’m going to assume you’re talking about the mobs that spawn after hitting certain enemies. Those are all hit count based. One variety only takes hits from arts, though I don’t remember that one being in IS6.

[cinder hearth]

Kinda mid because he then fails to kill said enemy and everyone else leaks past his 2-block

[formal shadow]

Not

[bright lake]

aak sucks

[cinder hearth]

Can you at least give us some more identifying features?

[formal shadow]

I won't stand for this Aak slander :realmad:

[cinder hearth]

"Stupid flying creatures" can refer to more than a few enemies even in IS6

[errant sparrow]

Idk how to describe it better as I said I am newer, but @mild yacht seems to have describe it well.

[mild yacht]

And if it’s the crap that spawns from other enemies, they aren’t flying.

[cinder hearth]

Oh you mean waregeist remnants. Hit-count based. Use a borrowed Wis'adel instead.

Wis hits 3 times every attack, in aoe. She fares much better than Exu Alter.

[mild yacht]

If you can’t kill the crap they spawn, it’s better to leak the one instead of their 101 spawns.

[errant sparrow]

How do I loan someone in IS?

[cinder hearth]

During the vouchers you get at the very start of the run, look in the top right(?) corner for the "support" button.

[formal shadow]

For more context. Mountain frighten mod is conditional based on him dodging and he doesn't have that high of dodge and only for phys damage

[cinder hearth]

Pick a squad with a sniper ticket to loan wis

[bright lake]

so you think its badge..?

you. mean borrow lol, loan is the opposite

[errant sparrow]

Ty! sounds good, should i upgrade a gravel or something to help out too. Gonna do Myrtle, Wis, and then someone else

[formal shadow]

I'd rather take his other mod if any

[cinder hearth]

Gravel isn't actually a great pick for IS6. Would recommend ie Ethan instead.

[bright lake]

fair tbh

[errant sparrow]

Got one built so thats perfect, S1 or S2 for wis until i get s3?

[cinder hearth]

S2

[mild yacht]

Gravel is super cope for hit count, and would barely do anything in a swarm of them.

[ancient wind]

Should I replace Texas or Myrtle with Poncirus?

[cinder hearth]

Neither, ideally, because you'd rather an agent replace Texas. Poncirus is pretty mid.

[uneven grail]

how come i dont have any operators to train?

[vast oak]

how long is radians module going to be around?

[severe crypt]

in order to m3 an op, they need to be minimum e2 skill level 7

[uneven grail]

thank you

[formal shadow]

It's not going away?

[severe crypt]

yeah we never had any "limited time modules" before

[formal shadow]

She even gets a 2nd module in the future

[ancient wind]

What’s an agent and would they preferably replace Texas?

[severe crypt]

agents are a vanguard subclass that currently dominate the overall vg class (rather ines, canta and surfer do)

their skills allow them to gain dp per hit which allow them to provide competitive dp gen while also being able to hold off early rushes unlike flags

[ancient wind]

Kinda just sounds like chargers but better

[cinder hearth]

They do indeed replace Texas. And Myrtle, on most stages besides Annihilations and a rare handful of other cases.
Yup, imagine chargers but way better at DP gen. That's what the good agents are.

[solid panther]

where do i farm RMA70-12?

[vast oak]

oh alright

[grave sail]

Should I upgrade rocroc or is click good enough?

[uneven grail]

is silver ash better than lappland?

[wispy peak]

is the free monthly pass event random?

[grave sail]

For burst damage I think yeah, but lappland has silence

[balmy panther]

no
it happens in the CN anniversary event

[wispy peak]

just the anniversary or the half anniversary too?

[silk steppe]

Well Silver Ash E2 unlocks "True Silver Slash" which is pretty strong but before that he's kinda eh

Lappland on the other hand does offer Silence which is pretty useful without a specific requirement

[uneven grail]

okay so situational

[humble nova]

does specter alter be able to block and leave the tiles behind her from the big dragon's beam in IW? Cuz like she cant die.. right?

[cinder hearth]

She can die. The doll version also has HP, if it gets depleted to cooldown she goes.

[humble nova]

ohh

[mild yacht]

She can use s2 for that, but even abushers were used for it, block count was never a factor.

[grave sail]

Should I upgrade rocrock or is click good enough?

[ancient current]

click is good enough

[odd sky]

hoshi2 🔜

[quaint valve]

In this set up, I usually can just insert any op (from active duty) before fiametta position and can refresh their stamina directly. But recently i need to make the op on standby (not doing anything), before refresshing their stamina using fia.

Im getting annoyed if i have to do this everyday, where previously there is no issue. Any tips?

[uneven grail]

which one?

[mild yacht]

Try it in an empty dorm Fia isn’t in, and don’t put multiple ops at the same time.

[uneven grail]

gotcha thanks, wolf spirit it is

[burnt tree]

2nd

[frozen basalt]

How long do i need to go out for the returnee reward to activate

[mild yacht]

Over a month.

[frozen basalt]

Yikes i need to wait for endfield to release before i can activate it

[burnt tree]

…why

[frozen basalt]

Burnt out on every gacha games
Now life is meaningless
Going to get back for one

[mild yacht]

How does that change with yet another gacha launching?

[frozen basalt]

What?

[mild yacht]

Endfield is a gacha. What did you think it was?

[uneven grail]

safe to assume that if i cant claim this i missed the last day and need to restart it?

[frozen basalt]

What are you talking about

[frozen basalt]

.

[mild yacht]

You’re burnt out on gacha, yet you’re waiting for a gacha.

[frozen basalt]

.

Its like you only read the first sentence

[burnt tree]

so this is what hospice care feel like

[crisp dawn]

Gacha gaming at its peak

[keen anvil]

💀

[frozen basalt]

What's hospice

[crisp dawn]

You can still claim it no? They just unlock at those specific days you can still claim them afterwards afaik

[mild yacht]

You’ll find out soon enough.

[cinder hearth]

Kristen Wright, you of all people should know how to ignore the thoughts of those below you.

[ancient current]

please avoid unnecessary media here

[uneven grail]

either i missed it or it isnt a new day or somethib

[vivid yew]

I think it is 7 days in a row

[cinder hearth]

Probably just missed a day or it's not a new day yet.

[uneven grail]

please say i didnt miss it 😭

[vivid yew]

You probably did

[mild yacht]

Why wouldn’t you check in every day, anyway?

[vivid yew]

BUT I am 10 days in and I still didn't use the selectors so you are fine

Its not that much of a help for a beginner

[uneven grail]

cause i do other things than arknights, was busy the entire day and slept when i got back

[burnt tree]

so real

[cinder hearth]

I mean some people play casually, so only rarely log onto their phones. Which is, technically, the healthy way to play mobile games

[uneven grail]

i play on emulator, dont like gacha games on my phone neither do i got the space lmao

[burnt tree]

clearly the solution is to convert arknights into a pc game

[mild yacht]

CN’s waiting for them to start the client test.

[uneven grail]

anyhow i have all of em except cliffheart and ptilopsis so a week of waiting isnt too bad

[vivid yew]

PC Client is on production?

[cinder hearth]

Ptil is a nice addition but she shouldn't be needed yet.

[vivid yew]

How

[mild yacht]

It’s been in production. They announced it at least six months ago and called for testers last month.

[vivid yew]

Did you spin on the banner

[uneven grail]

Pretty sure alot of the 6 stars i got were free, only used 1 ten pull and got pallas and carnelian. Only pulls ive spent

[crisp dawn]

oh is it, mb

that’s kinda fucked up why was it made that way

[vivid yew]

Damn

[uneven grail]

whats so worrisome about this?

[mild yacht]

That they’re both from the forbidden blue banner.

[crisp dawn]

Both are pretty terrible, it’s never worth using non-free pulls on Kernel

[uneven grail]

which is what i didnt do, i used 1 free 10 ticket kernel

[vivid yew]

Actually its okay for them cuz beginners start with a 10 ticket

[crisp dawn]

lowk if you’re not too attached to your current account you could considering rerolling for Mlynar and then save for Hoshi alter banner

[uneven grail]

ive never rerolled and neither will i 😭

[warped gust]

Which stage unlocks Theresa?

[mild yacht]

None, because it’s not Theresa.

[burnt tree]

chapter 14, just keep playing if you mean the black crown

[burnt tree]

which time unlock the 6* skyranger

[lavish monolith]

14-21 with amiyi iirc

[median fable]

14-23

in theory 14-21 is the last combat stage since 14-22/23 are both story ones

[west hazel]

should i headhunt for mlynar until i get enough gold cert to buy him if i don't pull ? or are there other ways to get gold cert

[mild yacht]

Do you want the ops from the upcoming limited banner? If not then nor the collab ops, then you can throw them wherever you want.

[median fable]

just to know, did you play the previous Summer event with Pepe. Because IF it will rerurn soon and you bought the papyrus pots you got 35 gold certs with her

[west hazel]

no i just started playing 2 weeks ago , i don't know which is better to prio

[median fable]

did you clear all permanent annihilation stages?

[burnt tree]

180 cert and 128 is NOT CLOSE

[west hazel]

yes

[median fable]

then time to skip

[burnt tree]

however, since ur 2 weeks, maybe there are way to obtain it

period where all stages are open, all previous anni are open as well right?

[crisp dawn]

Red cert shop 5*s?

[burnt tree]

actually nvm, rot anni doesnt give gold cert

[median fable]

it's better spending the sanity progressing and getting atp

[burnt tree]

yeah no it’s not close, tis time to skip

[mild yacht]

There’s spamming events for welfares.

[median fable]

50 ones? And with the limit of 2 unlocked events per week it's kinda not feasible

[west hazel]

thanks guys

[mild yacht]

Two this week, two next week, two the last week of the banner.

[burnt tree]

and 40 from

[median fable]

6 gold certs 🥹

[burnt tree]

1 more from papyrus

[mild yacht]

Gladii should be more than one.

[median fable]

pulling on last day angle?

[burnt tree]

also there’s the secret tech where ||when you reach the level where 3 disk are unlock per week, the disk reset||

[median fable]

he can buy ethan and quartz from red cert shop for two extra gold certs

[burnt tree]

hear me out though

[split sphinx]

Pray hoshi2 banner overlap with mlynar shop so you can pull and get cert. Otherwise, not happening

[burnt tree]

they can pull on beginner banner. if they get 10 6* in a row they can have enough cert assuming its the same op, since beginners banner only have 6 units in the line up

[crisp dawn]

under tides, sn, siracuno, and lone trail for 10 each? Idr if welfares have the same unlock reward

[median fable]

how does each of these give 10 gold certs?

[mild yacht]

Only way Hoshi can overlap Mlynar is if they start it on 15th or earlier.

[split sphinx]

Shii better pray hard

[lavish monolith]

it is not happening

[crisp dawn]

Oh wait first is 1 dupe is 10

[median fable]

dupe is 0 since you need pot 6

[burnt tree]

yostar truly evil for running mlynar and sa before hoshi 😔 (yes sa is bait but someone will fell for it)

[crisp dawn]

yeah you’re cooked

[mild yacht]

There’s always bait. It’s nothing new.

[crisp dawn]

Reroll for Mlynar and save for Hoshi

[split sphinx]

This tbh

[mild yacht]

-# Oh look, it’s bleckalt.

[median fable]

120 gold certs, I think he played for a while

it's worth for most people who don't own him

[mild yacht]

How is a new account gonna buy him, though?

[lavish monolith]

if you can afford it,

[crisp dawn]

2 weeks

[mild yacht]

If they’re gonna swipe for him now and gamble, they can just wait and buy the selector.

[crisp dawn]

Mlynar might just have to be a skip if you want to avoid pulling on rotating, not the end of world if you do ig

It’s your acc you decide what to do with it

[median fable]

wait next time Mlynar drops in shop

[mild yacht]

-# Nah, it’s a communal account now.

[keen scarab]

can leizi alt s2 hit drones?

[abstract mauve]

yes

[quick jolt]

yes, so can s3 but not the sparks

[keen scarab]

so only her s1 hit ground specifically

is fenced tile limiting her s2 range

[quick jolt]

no it can go through fences

[median fable]

they shouldn't

[mild yacht]

Fences don’t stop ranges. Very few mechanics can force that.

[quick jolt]

in the fences is actually where i put her on that stage too

[errant sparrow]

You need to beat guided tour "0" i am calling it, to get to guided tour 1 right or am i missing something?

[crisp dawn]

You unlock new difficulties by beating previous difficulties, so yes

[errant sparrow]

This one is brutal as a new player, was hoping for just an E2 level 7 skill radian but i cant even beat guided tour 0 haha 😅

[crisp dawn]

#help message

guide here

[stone karma]

can ulpi hit low altitude enemys with s1?

[odd sky]

i don't think so

[cinder hearth]

Nope.

Hello CatChord.

[ancient current]

the only reason puller S1s can hit air is because it's in their trait
ulpi s1 functionally being the same as them still doesn't magically make him able to hit air
he cannot hit air by default, so unless specified otherwise s1 does not hit air

[cinder hearth]

Wow, the cat's really learned a lot about AK since a few hours ago.

You should get them on IS

[west hazel]

could i buy tokens from red cert shop and convert those to gold certs ?

[frail thunder]

No but if you have an operator that’s pot 5 and you have an unused pot of their then you use the tokens then yeah

[olive mason]

not recommended since you can use those certs for glue

[odd sky]

yes but not gonna reach 180

[west hazel]

funny thing happened , i went back to anni and realized i still havent claimed lunmen downtown rewards , so now i'm sitting at 159 gold cert ,

[odd sky]

that's close, but don't do the red cert yet, how many recruit you have?

[west hazel]

i have 45 recruit permits

[slim tusk]

get all amiya pots?

[west hazel]

not yet she's still at pot 3

[slim tusk]

you can make it

[cinder hearth]

Did you, by any chance, buy sand reckoner pots?

[odd sky]

amiya plus like 4 recruit a day would reach 180 before his banner ends

[odd sky]

he's new

[pine plover]

also the welfare is papyrus

[cinder hearth]

Oops yeah, Pepe rust

[odd sky]

wait if you're new new, idt recruit will make any gold cert

[brave pecan]

If he is new new new, recruit would give lots of gold cert

[dense kraken]

How does proviso spooking using tequila work?
do i have to open arknights everytime an order is about to finish?

[quaint dew]

is top op specialist good?

[thorny edge]

weedy gamble

[odd sky]

i think you mean, cursed proviso tequila?
yes you change to them when order about to finish

[dense kraken]

ohh yeah that one

[thorny edge]

"spooking"

[odd sky]

what's spooking

gerund of spook

[pine plover]

king of spoo

[dense kraken]

how much extra LMD can you get when doing that cursing? 10k? 20k?

[odd sky]

ask @torn galleon

[dense kraken]

i saw him post that he got 80k which is why i got curious

[odd sky]

and i would imagine it depends on your prod before and after

[humble nova]

do I need to constantly have mon3tr heal the unit to give them the aspd buff or is it permanently there after one heal?

[dense kraken]

disappears after a while, you can see it with the crystals circling around an operator

[pine plover]

it's in her talent 2 description

Whenever Mon3tr or the Reconstruction heals a target, grants Mon3tr and the target +20 ASPD for 10s

[torn galleon]

1. No curse: 65k (with LMD droning)
   Shamare, Tequila, Kirara
   Pozy, Tuye, Proviso (+4gold+4durin)

2. Curse: 80k (without LMD droning)
   Shamare, Firewhistle, Kirara
   Pozy, Tuye, Exusiai (+4gold, +4durin)

Will be more if you have Exodia, Glasgow TP teams

[cinder hearth]

Allat just to waste a few more tens of millions of LMD building the other base slaves.

[dense kraken]

noice ty for this

[odd sky]

you don't understand it's not about the money

[dense kraken]

not even building any other units. I already have proviso,tequila,sham built

just contemplating whether cursing is worth it

[stark thistle]

Halp

Idk which bucket is best

The only unit I already own is ifrit

[formal shadow]

medic solo or maybe healing solo

[stark thistle]

No saria :( idk how good she is

[formal shadow]

oof
