help

[knotty wave]

you have more important things to spend your event currency on and the op herself isnt worth raising

[slim tusk]

nah unless you like IS

[knotty wave]

so even if you max pot her shes still gonna warm the bench

[tulip oasis]

is it worth to hoard a bit of these? these materials are so annoying, it's like everyone needs them

[woeful kestrel]

I don't get this stupid mini game, someone please help

[oblique haven]

pretty sure hes talking about 6* selectors. Theres one coming soon but it only has 4 units on it. Surtr, Saria, Eijafyalla, and theres one more i cant remember

[oblique haven]

the gem one?

[knotty wave]

pinned msg

[woeful kestrel]

still tells me nothing, I've tried this, it doesn't make sense

[hollow wind]

[woeful kestrel]

ELI5 please

[oblique haven]

well the points are in the message on the side. You need to build enough points to pass the round. You pass the class when you pass all the rounds. The way you can do that is in the pinned message video

[slim tusk]

upgrade red and win?

[woeful kestrel]

I've upgraded Reds and lose every time, only 1 is counted, why?

[slim tusk]

because it add score simply by existing on bench

[woeful kestrel]

but it doesn't

[pine plover]

upgraded red doesnt need to be slot it

[slim tusk]

you don't actually use it

[woeful kestrel]

I'm aware of leaving red alone, but the game only counts the left most one for me

[pine plover]

need to be upgraded version

[woeful kestrel]

what does that even look like? I literally have no clue

[modern pivot]

[tulip oasis]

if i buy the operator tokens from a rerun for the first time i wouldn't get gold certs when they get on this screen, right?

[knotty wave]

yes no gcerts for you

[dull tide]

Are they actually free or is it a paid pack/bundle? I tried checking the wiki for more info but I'm not sure still.

[hollow sparrow]

actually free

[bright lake]

Is it dumb i wanna M6 Surfer? she is p6

[oblique haven]

depends on what event it is. The upcoming one is free. Sometimes you can buy one or sometimes theres a free one and a paid one

[knotty wave]

its free but its not like the 30$ ticket where you have a large pool of ops to choose from, its limited to a few number of ops

[unkempt crown]

I'm currently building Lin, Yu, Mostima, Lumen, and Irene, and I want to ask about skill mastery recommendations, priorities, and what module upgrades should I get. Any help would be appreciated.

[dull tide]

Oh ok, thanks for explainning, I wasn't aware of it.

[woeful kestrel]

Only leftmost red is counted

[mild yacht]

Absolutely not, come join the Rat Pack.

[ancient wind]

Does Levitate pair with Shift Operators? Like, if none of my operators are strong enough to shift a heavy enemy, would levitate alleviate that?

[woeful kestrel]

I understand it's t3 and still lost...

[slim tusk]

preview doesn't count red on bench

but the result will

[mild yacht]

Levitate is the act of lifting ops. They stop moving across the map. Weightless will improve shift.

[woeful kestrel]

result is still failure

[hollow sparrow]

lin s3 mod x3
yu s2
lumen s3 mod y1
irene s3, i forgot which mod is better
mostima s3 mod3 (i forgot which branch it is but it lowers dp)
lumen irene mostima aren’t very good overall but if you want to those are the skills you would use

[oblique haven]

which lesson is this?

[hollow sparrow]

in terms of priority yu is the only one i’d wholeheartedly recommend building
lin is ok if you don’t have better options
the others are pretty mid

[woeful kestrel]

Very Strict Judge

[unkempt crown]

Brilliant, thank you! I don't have much else to do, so apart from Yu, I'm just building some old units I've had for a long time but never got the chance to play with.

[tulip oasis]

these wouldn't give gold certs either, right?

[knotty wave]

yes

[summer osprey]

should i just yolo? i feel like the tags aren't that great

[hollow sparrow]

furniture gives intel certs on reruns btw
not gold

[odd sky]

upgrade your reds more
very strict you just buy everything and don't put any
unless you lack a bit and play one or 2

[tulip oasis]

okay, thanks

[woeful kestrel]

I'm trying, have a bit of a lead atm

[oblique haven]

Round one you want to play Basic Tempering 2, Round two buy workbench and dont play any cards, Then you want to spam roll for upgraded reds

[woeful kestrel]

I'm 8/12 atm, doing that

[unkempt crown]

Yep, I'm aware, just wasn't sure about which skills are worth upgrading. I think I also have Blaze Alter at level 1, should I build her for the combo with Yu? I don't really need her as a necessity, but maybe she's worth it?

[oblique haven]

you can just not play anything round 3 too

[near harness]

Theres vanguard although you might get cucked with Siege while hoping for Bagpipe but sure you can yolo

[oblique haven]

it can be a little bit of an rng check, but upgrading your reds will just win

[hard aurora]

the hoshi banner release date is 1/10 right?

[mild stump]

Okay I feel like I should know this because i just finished it, but how the fuck does gemgraving work

[hollow sparrow]

i think she’s fun to use
personally i’d build her after yu, though you’d want to also do yu s3 to use with her

[mild stump]

Like what are the points what determines the gems u get

[hollow sparrow]

1/10 is the livestream
the banner will be some time after

[hard aurora]

alr ty

[bright bobcat]

besides rsources is there any other reason to do this event?

[unkempt crown]

Fair enough, I can do that, thanks. Not sure If I'll get these upgrades done before the next limited banner, but that doesn't matter much to me

[mild stump]

You get papyrus she’s not great

[near harness]

Like
OP's if you havent completed it

[hollow sparrow]

yeah you might just want to hold off on building ops after yu and see how your pulls go

[oblique haven]

and orundum if you have completed it too from the re run store

[bright bobcat]

the 4 that are on that list at the top?

[gritty bluff]

does wish bakery give anything

[near harness]

The what now?

[modern pivot]

Is she supposed to be played with that ability?

[granite cedar]

The hell am i supposed to do?

[modern pivot]

Oh okay good I was worried she getting even stronger lol

[bright bobcat]

this list

[balmy panther]

fully upgraded red things can play from hand without getting used up

[near harness]

Oh no i meant OP like the gold rocks mb 😭

[modern pivot]

Do we still e2 people even if we use the e1 skill?

[granite cedar]

But i dail the objective, and it won't let me refresh to buy a 0 value

[near harness]

Other than dropping nukers yes

[fickle steeple]

:[ haven get her yet ,the tank is have are these only

[bright bobcat]

ooooooooooh lol mb still learning the language apparently

[balmy panther]

from the first round

[modern pivot]

What does that mean?

[near harness]

Yeah its my fault too for using the abbreviation 😭

[raven junco]

The free at the top says how many you can get for free that round

Oh i see what you mean mikz, it started with t2 stones

Just retry

[near harness]

Her third skill lets you redeploy an operator with longest redeployment time
So for instance, instead of waiting for Mlynar's skill to recharge after casting it, you could just retreat him and use Exusiai alter's 3rd skill to immediately redeploy Mlynar

[mild yacht]

Why would you not want Mlynar to manually charge his skill and built his attack?

[near harness]

Actually fair point

[cinder hearth]

Technically shorter charge time but what a waste

[mild yacht]

More like Silverash.

[near harness]

😭

[cinder hearth]

Just use Exualt s2

[mild yacht]

It’d shorten his s3 charge, but he’d still be lacking the swollen attack.

[frail thunder]

Module?

[cinder hearth]

Module

[modern pivot]

Okay but we still e2 up units even tho we don't use their e2 skill right

[fervent scaffold]

When's the next update for this shop?

[woeful zodiac]

noire should be good enough if you level him to max, and he'll be cheaper to deploy than liskarm. You can also get spot from recruitment with healing + defender or defender gambling, you want to raise him later anyway.

[spice patrol]

E2 gives u an access to masteries

[cinder hearth]

It improves her stats and talent, and exu2's mod1 effect is critical.

[near harness]

Yes

[modern pivot]

Where do I find those?

[cinder hearth]

Without it her skill cycling is a lot worse and she loses the stat bump it gives, too.

[spice patrol]

Training in base

[formal shadow]

roughly around april-may.

[bright bobcat]

so its gold rocks and materials for this whole event then? i feel like i should still be working on story or something else

[near harness]

Yes
although its not like recommended to push on event stories due to their stage mechanics

But yeah, get the materials while you still can

[formal shadow]

also the event shop. buying it gives some stuff. ignore tokens, furniture parts; furniture's up to you

[near harness]

you can replay the EX stages or the special stages later when its available

[formal shadow]

it's rerun so it goes straight into side story after this event ends

[modern pivot]

Haven't unlocked that one yet

[barren dust]

is papyrus decent

[fickle steeple]

rip i think I waste too much exp on liskarm

[formal shadow]

no
but hey, at least she's not flamebringer tier

[woeful zodiac]

e2 6 stars also gets new talent and talent upgrade (also module too), so even if ur using s2 and not aiming for mastery, the talent changes could make a big difference.

[barren dust]

🥀

[formal shadow]

e0-40 isn't too expensive in the long run don't worry

[woeful zodiac]

e0 is nothing, e1 is also doesnt hurt much in the big picture. And noire max is e0lv30 so you can def afford it

[modern pivot]

E2 seems to be a lot of effort

[woeful zodiac]

it just takes some time. eventually you could just e2 anyone at any time with stockpiled resources.

I have 250 e2s

[fickle steeple]

Hmm even 2 star is good in this game is surprising me

[modern pivot]

@woeful zodiac

So what am I missing ?? The box bottom right is the only thing left no?

[formal shadow]

masteries and module
you see how your skills have 3 dark hexagons? make em light up

[modern pivot]

Where do I click to aquier masteries

[formal shadow]

training room

[robust thistle]

Like people already said, training room

[modern pivot]

Oh true someone said that

[woeful zodiac]

yeah early game is pretty forgiving, so newbs can make use of low stars because they're cheap + does their job. Eventually you do want to relace them with higher rarity tho

[mild yacht]

Clicking the skills will open that tab where there’s a button that will take you to it.

[pseudo flume]

Yato is kinda irreplaceable at certain points because hey cheap Meatshield and fast redeploy

[woeful zodiac]

ture

[rain forge]

yato gets outclassed by gravel

[woeful zodiac]

but kinda hard to see newb using yato with even half her potential tbh

[pseudo flume]

I know ofc why else did I say at certain points

Sometimes you'll need 2 - 3 fast Redeploys

[rain forge]

Fair

[pseudo flume]

Plus in RA, Yato is a really nifty resource collector

[modern pivot]

Why

[ripe beacon]

Is she good

[pseudo flume]

Meatshields are rarely used and even if they are used then you use Gravel

[modern pivot]

[eternal helm]

who else came out with vulpisfoglia

[pseudo flume]

Lapplter

[mild yacht]

Unless two meat shields…

[woeful zodiac]

need to know when to be using her, and when its not worth using her. Also many people forget to retreat operators when the operator is afk, so its kind of a hard thing to learn for newbs.

[rain forge]

Laptop

[eternal helm]

thanks thanks

new player just use best characters :)

[pseudo flume]

It requires people to have a mastery of Arknights basics ya

[modern pivot]

I often forget them too hehe

[ripe beacon]

what's vulpis preferred skill

[fickle steeple]

who should I pick :>

[formal shadow]

3

[formal shadow]

chick with the shield

[woeful zodiac]

is this CN or TW

[leaden quiver]

Seria

[ancient lotus]

If the account is completely new thorns is considerable too

[fickle steeple]

tw

[vocal burrow]

is eyja s3 still worth m3?

[fickle steeple]

Alright thanks :>

[ancient lotus]

If you have better casters, not really

[mellow mural]

Does Fiammetta S3 hit aerial enemies?

[hollow sparrow]

yes

[mellow mural]

kk

[hybrid bluff]

How can I progress?

[woeful zodiac]

buy all the things

[hybrid bluff]

the problem is there's no t1 convertion

[woeful zodiac]

u dont need to

[oblique haven]

read the thing bro

[formal shadow]

you're not supposed to sac your t1 round 1

[pine plover]

red can score without being played

[hybrid bluff]

when I bought it automatically stacked

[formal shadow]

no put bench

[hybrid bluff]

see it'll stack so how can I keep it in the next turn?

[formal shadow]

no put bench

[pine plover]

sac as in playing the red

you dont need to play red for it to score

[minor shoal]

Is titi will be a great competitor for Haruka?

[formal shadow]

different niches it seems for now

[pine plover]

not even released yet

[minor shoal]

😭👌

[pine plover]

titi deals damage to heal
haruka heals to deal damage

[robust thistle]

I meam for titi to actually heal consistently she has to put your ops to sleep first

[pine plover]

sleep through londonium cannon

[mild yacht]

Not always, just if they’re about to die.

Most the time, she just sleeps herself.

-# The new Kelsey, instead focusing healing herself, she just sleeps through their deaths.

[rain forge]

can ops still be targeted by enemies while eeping

[odd sky]

we don't know

[pine plover]

we will know in couple days

[minor shoal]

When titi released?

[pine plover]

there are still furniture and event mechanic news to be posted on weibo

each takes separate day

[mild yacht]

-# Furniture mechanic

[pine plover]

more waregeist upon thee

[mild yacht]

Nah, ‘placing op on cushy tiles increases their healing while sleeping.’

[pine plover]

may all your bosky node be filled with emergency ware-user

[rain forge]

any enemies that put ops to sleep?

[mild yacht]

Did Martus?

[pine plover]

new enemies info will be posted along with event mechanic later

[tiny abyss]

Martus uh does the confuse thing to ops not sleep

[lunar bobcat]

does elbanana summon take up deployment slot?

[formal shadow]

9 jan for the event start

[pine plover]

restricted summon, either from strict deployment location, having limited timer, or mine usually dont take deployment limit

[teal ibex]

What’s the recommended level for Haruka & Hoshialter’s module?

[hazy marsh]

Any suggestions on the next 6* to build fellas?

I feel like I'm already at the "enough meta units to braindead" level, I'm inclined to do Viviana as I don't have Surtr and have a bunch of burn ops already built

[formal shadow]

haruka is mod1
hoshi not sure. mod3? anyways her mod is good

[lunar bobcat]

isnt mod 2 is when haruka start printing sp?

[formal shadow]

naran typhon virt is nice
vina vivi is also nice tier but like not gonna be the best option but nice
mizuki for IS, ifrit for -res debuff when you need em
flametail has base use

[mild yacht]

One was mod2, the other was 3.

[slim tusk]

haruka sp regen is cope lol

[mild yacht]

But Hoshi also doesn’t get her mod for a while, so .

[woeful zodiac]

tuya is good. mizuki is great if you play IS, everyone else is
flametail if ur base addict but its not worth e2 just for base
and virt is actual ass dont do ts

[fathom plaza]

What's the mastery priority for leizialter skills?

[balmy panther]

s2m3

[silver smelt]

s2>s1>= s3

[fathom plaza]

[hazy marsh]

Is virt really bad? I do have Logos built

[mild yacht]

-# ‘Virt’ ‘ass’

[robust thistle]

Arturia isnt in any way comparable to logos

[tiny abyss]

He prob meant for necro

[formal shadow]

I call her "nice"

[robust thistle]

Shes just a pure necrosis enabler

[hazy marsh]

I thought she's useful for necro

[woeful zodiac]

the only thing she does well is clean garbage mobs. But literally anyone else can clean garbage, so virtuosa has actual no place in anywhere unless ur doing nymph s3 shenanigans.

[robust thistle]

Just that

[balmy panther]

why enable necro when you can enable neural impairment

[silver smelt]

useful for necro true, but necro isn't useful

[hazy marsh]

I skipped the french dude for Ave Mujica

[pine plover]

nerve damage is better

[balmy panther]

then ok just raise turia when you need ranged true damage

[pine plover]

making people stroke

[balmy panther]

mummies from this event are actually a good usecase for elemental damage

[hazy marsh]

Ppl moved to nervous impairment my head is still thriving on Lappalter + Yu

[robust thistle]

Ew burn slop

[woeful zodiac]

~~ok I will use ranged true dmg turia for is5 ed2 🏃‍♂️ ~~

[hazy marsh]

Kino

[fathom plaza]

Besides burn, necrosis and nerv impair did we have any other elemental dmg types?

[pine plover]

simply kill slab defender faster before they get 4k Def and 80 Res

[robust thistle]

Corrossion, but thats enemy only

[woeful zodiac]

corrosion will rule the elemental game fr

[pine plover]

indefinitely stackable def reduction, mostly better when enemies use it

[fathom plaza]

Corrosion was, when burst it perma reduces def, by 100 for ally OPs at least, right?

[woeful zodiac]

was it -100 or -50

[robust thistle]

100

[coarse notch]

if only necrosis did the same thing it did onto friendlies and drain boss sp

[pine plover]

there is that and acid slug that just reduce your defense immediately without needing corrosion burst

[fathom plaza]

Burn was temp res reduction while burn on cooldown not perma right?

[pine plover]

when boss doesnt even need SP to use their skill

[robust thistle]

Enemies have sp no?

[coarse notch]

basically all bosses with abilities do yea

[robust thistle]

IS3 ED3 has sp at least

[coarse notch]

it would make necrosis game breakingly broken tho i think

[woeful zodiac]

they have sp system but nobody can interfere with it 😢

[lavish monolith]

Most just use skill on a certain interval or condition

[robust thistle]

It would also fuck with timings

[coarse notch]

imagine disabling amiya's map wipe

[robust thistle]

Yes those certain intervals are sp cost

Its like how you also use skills on certain intervals

[mild yacht]

Just kill them and you interrupt their sp system.

[woeful zodiac]

faust is using offensive recovery ril.

[pine plover]

the reunion stun hammer

[mild yacht]

Mephisto’s on afk auto.

[robust thistle]

Well enemies cant attack cancel so yeah faust is basically offensive recovery

[modern pivot]

are they good?

[formal shadow]

both of them are

[coarse notch]

very

[pine plover]

the new weibo post from HG confirmed that sleeping operators arent targetted by enemies

[modern pivot]

very nice

[coarse notch]

where tf did bro pull these ops from

[tiny abyss]

John Elemental

[modern pivot]

the featured banner

[robust thistle]

We have a banner?

[pine plover]

bro pull on rotating

[modern pivot]

the 2 sword guys yes

[coarse notch]

thats cool, congrats, never do that again please

[robust thistle]

So here next time dont pull on standard

[formal shadow]

holy luck

[robust thistle]

You won this time, you wont get lucky everytime you pull

[coarse notch]

take your massive w and keep it that way by never pulling rotating again

[pine plover]

some people has illegal amount of luck

[woeful zodiac]

bro hit lottery level luck

[modern pivot]

well, i pulled 8 ? off banner 6* yesterday before pulling 1 feature

[robust thistle]

Doesnt change the advice

[coarse notch]

are you a whale

[modern pivot]

yes i will stop 👍

[robust thistle]

They are

[coarse notch]

ah

[robust thistle]

They literally bought insta promo tickets day1
No we're not interested in your pulls

[pine plover]

we need more whale so they will give use free 10 pulls like JP did

[woeful zodiac]

no, we are 3rd class citizen

[modern pivot]

[woeful zodiac]

and JP is not 1st class, they are VIP++ rank

[pine plover]

imagine JP getting more free pulls than CN did

-# they actually do

[woeful zodiac]

-# I saw KR game giving JP players better treatment than KR player

[ancient wind]

Snatched Papyrus from the event. Current healers are Silence and Ansel? Worth replacing either of them?

I also have Sussuro, which I’m fairly certain y’all suggested a day or so ago

[robust thistle]

No, wait for ptilo

[ancient wind]

Where would I get them?

[robust thistle]

Day7

[ancient wind]

Already used that item

[robust thistle]

Then wait for perfumer

[coarse notch]

then haruka, then rosesalt if you somehow got none of them

[ancient wind]

Level 34. Well beyond that point

[robust thistle]

Perfumer isnt related to level

[formal shadow]

he's a big boy now he can't be seen playing with baby 4*s

[ancient wind]

Where would I get perfumer

[coarse notch]

surely you got her by now, 4 star aoe medic

[formal shadow]

recruitment, gambling

[robust thistle]

Shes a *4, you'll get her from pulling eventually

[tiny abyss]

Is Estelle recruitment only

[ancient wind]

Nope.

Silence, Hibi, Ansel, Gavial, Sussuro, Myrrh, Lancet-2, and now Papyrus

[coarse notch]

well you'll get her when you're pulling for hoshialt/haruka, so you can then ignore her for haruka

[robust thistle]

Assuming they get haruka

[ancient wind]

Any particular draft I’m supposed to get haruka from?

[coarse notch]

draft?

[robust thistle]

Particular what

[woeful zodiac]

just start spamming healer in recruit when no 4 star tags and a random 4 star one could be perfumer 🤷

[pine plover]

haruka is gacha operator

[ancient wind]

Headhunt. Whatever it’s called

[formal shadow]

supp ticket duh

[pine plover]

that will not be here until few days later

[robust thistle]

Future limited banner

[tiny abyss]

It's in upcoming banner

[radiant leaf]

Hi i’m stuck at the engraving class “strict judge” i cant get past the 2nd round idk what to do lol
It forces me to but the free engravings but then it’s guaranteed to not have enough points

[woeful zodiac]

haruka is from the banner sometime this month

[jagged pollen]

What would you say is the most meta/synergistic 12 character team you could put together in arknights?

[formal shadow]

don't put t1 card in bench in round 1

[pine plover]

red engravings score point on hand

[ancient wind]

The red engravings have an upgrade where they don’t need to be put in a workbench to work.

[slim tusk]

there is no such things

[robust thistle]

You dont even need 12 ops

[formal shadow]

you can make a most meta team I think just stuff 12 meta ops

[robust thistle]

You only need like 2-3 good ops, the rest are just moral support

[coarse notch]

in what context

you can just throw in 10-11 generically strong operators + a good vg and there you go

[radiant leaf]

OH THAT’S DIRTY I SEE NOW

[pine plover]

corpse dragging but for trust farming

[slim tusk]

well meta differ on content unless it's general content slop

[rustic kernel]

Folks, just want to confirm something. These rewards are permanent, right?

[jagged pollen]

It's more of a subjective question, but was just curious for fun. Context being just general story content.

[formal shadow]

yeah it's gen content. 95% of the time it'll be like that

[robust thistle]

You can clear story with *4

There is no "objectively best team"
You work with what you have

[coarse notch]

ines + trag + the strongest 10 dps operators you have
maybe throw in a shu

[woeful zodiac]

general story is 🛌 just use whatever

[robust thistle]

Rarity abuse, random bullshit go

[modern pivot]

i havent read anything yet, was wondering if its worht.. i guess not lol

[robust thistle]

Ironically even if you stuff 12 "best" ops, youre not guaranteed to clear story content

[prime grotto]

wait i spent 130 pulls and i didnt get a single mlynar or zuo le 😭 is there no pity in this game

[balmy panther]

something like this but... some specific stages may be a pain

[formal shadow]

pity kicks in at pull 150+ have you read it

[quick jolt]

they meant story gameplay, not the story itself. whether or not the story is good is mostly subjective, and imo its extremely good, but not until after around chapter 6

[robust thistle]

Should've read the banner details first, or ask here first

[prime grotto]

dang that was all my pulls

[pine plover]

pity reset when you get any 6★

[tiny abyss]

Standard banner don't

[woeful zodiac]

? we talking about what to use in gen story content. Story itself is long af but is good.

[formal shadow]

it's all your fault 👼

[prime grotto]

i learn the hard way ig

[pine plover]

gambling addiction

[prime grotto]

so is there any point thrying to scrounge up 20 more pulls or just call it a day

edit: hey im f2p i saved this up

[modern pivot]

ohh my bad then sorry

[formal shadow]

you still want to scrounge for hoshi2 anyways

[slate ridge]

theres no rate up pity for the banner you pulled btw

[pine plover]

150 is making your next 6★ to be the rate up, but you still need to pull the 6★

[woeful zodiac]

ines tuya reed2 isnt bad but 130 pulls is quite bad when good banner is coming up.

[tiny abyss]

Standard banner doesn't have hard pity right like you could just not get any rate up forever

[prime grotto]

OH theres no pity ok well now i know

[balmy panther]

there is, but like after 200 pulls

[formal shadow]

they implemented std rateup

[quick jolt]

first 6star after 150 is one of the 2 rateups, first 6star after 300 is the other one

[robust thistle]

If youre f2p and have been saving up 130 pulls, people here would've told you to not pull on standard

[modern pivot]

why do people suggest to not pull for for rotation banners ? do the other ones have a way higher rate to pull the featured one ? or is the chance there overall higher

[balmy panther]

that could have been a guaranteed sakiko
shame

[prime grotto]

the next banner im waiting for is silverash anyway which is? 5 months?

[pine plover]

limited banner is in couple weeks

[robust thistle]

Because most of them are shit

[modern pivot]

but the rates are same right?

[balmy panther]

@robust thistle what would you change?

[slate ridge]

oh they updated standard to have it too

[hollow sparrow]

hoshi in like 2 weeks
unless you don’t want her ig

[pine plover]

silverash alter is roughly in 3 months

[prime grotto]

i started playing the game then saved for 5 months straight for tragodia

[prime grotto]

oh no well im cooked

[robust thistle]

ela and leizi looks redundant here

[coarse notch]

dont forget sakiko too

[nimble kite]

Dude, reread Channel Rules, especially № 5. We ain't gonna say leaks in any terms.

[prime grotto]

ok no more gambling for me then thankyall

[modern pivot]

isnt he on the banner right now?

[pine plover]

alter

[robust thistle]

Where

[coarse notch]

not only was that 6 hours ago, but the chinese server stuff they're referring to is completely fine

[prime grotto]

is sakiko a lady

[balmy panther]

dont know what else to put
hoshi2 ? ela is funny cuz the funny thorns range

[quick jolt]

mostly because of rates, and because of the fact that there are rarely moments where there arent any good upcoming new operators. the rates are bad because its 25% for each individual rateup operator, compared to solo debut banners where its 50%, and limited banners where 2 rateups have 35% each. there are even banner types that cant have any offrates

[formal shadow]

no she's a minor

[nimble kite]

I. WAS. SLEEPING. OK?

[prime grotto]

i wasnt asking like that 😭 i asking if is man

[pine plover]

at least check the clock burh

[coarse notch]

you dont have to respond to everything especially if you're just wrong bruh

[tiny abyss]

The alter version, he's a celebration op that's coming later

[hollow sparrow]

if one op is good then the rates are bad
if both ops are good then you’d buy with certs and not pull

[modern pivot]

i see

[robust thistle]

Exialt has thorns range
Hoshialt and like logos ig

[balmy panther]

yeah but ela can go melee tiles

[prime grotto]

wait u cna buy them?

[woeful zodiac]

yato2 over tex2
I'd put ascalon for easy use aoe big slow instead of ela prob

[modern pivot]

the skins in this game are purely cosmetic right? can they be obtained after they disappear?

[coarse notch]

yes, and depends but most will rerun

[robust thistle]

I actually forget ela can be deployed on melee 90% of the time because she just dies if she gets hit

[modern pivot]

i see

[tiny abyss]

It's mostly crossover ones that won't rerun

[coarse notch]

yes? you can buy mlynar rn

[modern pivot]

do you guys invest in those?

[robust thistle]

Invest in what

[modern pivot]

skins for 20 gems

[coarse notch]

skins are subjective personal preference irrelevant to gameplay

[slender temple]

Is the event stages worth grinding for mat

[robust thistle]

Thats not an investment, thats just spending

[woeful zodiac]

skins arent an investment, they dont pay anything back

[modern pivot]

true

[robust thistle]

Investment means you can get something back

[coarse notch]

clearly you havent seen me try to do options trading

[quick jolt]

yeah ive used probably a third of the OP ive ever gained on skins. obviously you dont have to buy them and whether or not its worth it is subjective aswell

[prime grotto]

if logos appears in the shop, it will be the yellow cert shop? so i should keep at least 180 yellow certs saved ah

[modern pivot]

lmao, how many did you obtain ??

[coarse notch]

every standard banner operator will appear in the yellow cert shop at some point

[quick jolt]

literally all of whats available, so thousands

[woeful zodiac]

dont ask when. Only god knows when.

[prime grotto]

okay thankyou! so not the blue shop right, just the yellow one? and keep 180 yellow certs. for when that happens?

[balmy panther]

rose hitting them with the

[modern pivot]

219 outfits wow

[coarse notch]

well depends on if you need to cert pulls instead

[woeful zodiac]

all operator account

[quick jolt]

its not even close to that even like 50 skins is almost a thousand

[prime grotto]

thats more skins than the ops i have lmao

[coarse notch]

#arknights

[quick jolt]

then buy it

[modern pivot]

[coarse notch]

iirc you were warned about blogging already so just be aware

[modern pivot]

true

[graceful shadow]

Uhh, so I got uncle mlynar

[robust thistle]

Ok?

[modern pivot]

nice

[graceful shadow]

Does he only shine at E2?

[robust thistle]

Yes hes good on E2

[coarse notch]

hes servicable on a newbie account at e1 but he really needs e2

[graceful shadow]

Aight, might have him wait in the background. I'm so broke on resources

[modern pivot]

the smartest way is to keep the 180 certificates for a rotation banner in case needed instead of using them for featured banner right?

[thick dock]

guys how to get over strict judge round 2

[ancient lotus]

If we’re assuming the 2 year rule for shoperators, logos wont be in there until 9+ months later, you’re safe to use the certs for now.

[pine plover]

by reading what the engraving does, you dont just toss and play

upgraded version of red ones score even when on hand

[outer fjord]

Hoshiguma module 1 or 2?

[pine plover]

modX for more def

very rare occasion you will need extra block count from modY

[robust thistle]

ch12 cough

[outer fjord]

It increases resist chance though

[woeful zodiac]

stack reds asap, stack the others to max so you can stack reds easier (less rerolling to see reds), sac non reds when u about to die

[pine plover]

reliable survivability is better than chance-based one tbh

[robust thistle]

straight up defense is better than gambling on resist

considering hoshi's main skill is S2, stacking def is more consistent

[graceful shadow]

Y'all, how to pass AS-EX-8?

Hold on, lemme get a pic of my ops

[random kestrel]

4 block count mod designed for 🥐

[robust thistle]

you wanna go to #strategy instead

[modern pivot]

out of the standard banner, who was the best unit to get?

[robust thistle]

do you really wanna pull on standard again

[modern pivot]

im thinking about doing the discount pulls yes

[robust thistle]

discount pulls?

[random kestrel]

?
no context, newest one usually better

[modern pivot]

yes the first multis are discounted

[robust thistle]

we dont have that

[pale tapir]

are you talking about the beginner banner?

[modern pivot]

new accounts do

[robust thistle]

only newbie banner does that, and it has a very limited pool

[pine plover]

that's newbie banner

[graceful shadow]

Idek if these ops will work on AS-EX-8. My brain too smol

[robust thistle]

and it doesnt matter who you get from that banner, because you're gonna get a day5 selector anyways

[pine plover]

saria should use s1 so she can survive better

[modern pivot]

ohh really? who would be the best to pick?

[robust thistle]

did you read the pinned links again

like people have said multiple times in the past few days

[modern pivot]

which one? there are so many

[robust thistle]

people only said 2, newbie voucher selector and teambuilding guide

I remember telling you this twice yesterday

[random kestrel]

#strategy
would be better place to ask

[graceful shadow]

Oops, mb

[woeful zodiac]

-# doctor w/alzheimer

[modern pivot]

it says silverash hmmm

[robust thistle]

youre free not to follow the guide

[tame pier]

Is this a good general loadout

[robust thistle]

jessica is ass

[split sphinx]

E2 myrtle in big 26

[pale tapir]

will it work for stuff? sure
but it has texas and jessica so it's already not optimal

[robust thistle]

ifrit is niche, texas is outdated

[tame pier]

What are good replacements

[robust thistle]

logos, tragodia, exialt, lemuen

[formal shadow]

wis

[robust thistle]

wisadel too

[pine plover]

you dont even need 2nd vanguard most of the time

[tame pier]

You think I wouldn’t replace them if I had them

[robust thistle]

I assume you have everyone

[pale tapir]

he's trolling u because you didn't say who you could replace with (we don't know ur roster)

[split sphinx]

Youre supposed to guess who they have, not assume everyone

[pine plover]

newer stages nowadays have enough leeway to not use vanguard at all

[tame pier]

https://www.krooster.com/u/eager-yellow-egret-197z

[pine plover]

which is very nice after the early dog rushes back in early story

[robust thistle]

ironically you dont have anyone better because you overinvested in your ops so just keep it that way until you get better ops

[bleak wave]

if i do 300 pulls in the silverash alter banner what chars would i be able to spark in the shop?

[bitter steeple]

What skills to specialize for mizuki in is

[woeful zodiac]

texas is a bum, base workers are unraised

[pine plover]

i remember people use s2 with his specialized module

[formal shadow]

s2. s3 I've seen used sometimes but only for the range

[bitter steeple]

Ty!

[split sphinx]

Lapp wis and uhhh

[tame pier]

Who are the base workers

[woeful zodiac]

#bot-spam type /baseskills. e1 them

[bleak wave]

not exu alter?

[split sphinx]

No

[pine plover]

at least exu2 wont be available as offrate until 9 months

[tame pier]

Why is Texas bad I thought she was really good back then

[bleak wave]

oh ok, than would it be worth it to save to spark one of them seeing the base banner is kinda good already?

[pine plover]

we simply have much better vanguard

[pale tapir]

she basically does no damage, takes forever to generate dp, and many other vanguards can do what she does a lot better like shiyon said (on top of other things she can't do)

[pine plover]

and she has low survivability too

compared to other pioneer vanguard

[split sphinx]

Texas: expensive, dies fast

[tame pier]

She’s 7 dp?

[bleak wave]

is it just not worth it to try to spark even if it's wisadel?

[pine plover]

the only time i use her was with cursed combo that make her has 1 DP cost on first deployment

[split sphinx]

Not dp, 5star cost in resources

[robust thistle]

300 pulls isnt recommended yes

[woeful zodiac]

she has no defense and dogs just eat her. She was glazed back then cause s2m3 gives quick dp, that with her talent gives a "sizable" dp start. But we didnt need ts at all.

[pine plover]

even flagbearer fell off when agent came out

[pale tapir]

it's not worth sparking the vast majority of the time
I sparked wisadel for waifu reasons but I guarantee you she isn't as magical as you'd think
You can always borrow if you need her for a stage

[bleak wave]

then ig i won't bother saving 300 pulls and will just pull in random banners i like/are useful isntead of going all out in 1 even if i already got the 6*s

[split sphinx]

She magical fr but not 300 pulls magical (nobody is)

[woeful zodiac]

by the point you've gathered 300 pulls you dont even need any of the strong limiteds to clear stuff tbh

[bleak wave]

btw will the bandori collab have the 120 guarantee?

[austere wagon]

does arknight have a event happy new year?

[bleak wave]

wait cool that looks like an easier banner to go for

[pine plover]

it's still good thing to stock up pulls so you have more leeway on choosing what banner to pull

[modern pivot]

so the guide here puts this lion guy over sivlerash, but the guide in discord says to get sivlerash, whats right?

[formal shadow]

[odd sky]

see banner prio in pins

[robust thistle]

did you read the table header

[dapper torrent]

Does myrtle's collab skin have any new voice lines?

[pine plover]

we have lunar new year event

[formal shadow]

no afaik

[bleak wave]

oh yeh that's a given

is sakiko good even without her harem?

[formal shadow]

yes

[pine plover]

skin with new voiceline usually cost 24

[robust thistle]

whos yukiko

[formal shadow]

her goons are freeloaders anyways

[slim tusk]

mountain definitely not S at max
he is better at e1 but fell off fast

[cinder hearth]

I heard the ambusher is good 🤫

[robust thistle]

mountain on S at max kekw

[bleak wave]

sakiko, the bandori girl i forget her name

[pine plover]

wisadel at SSS rank surely

[cinder hearth]

Yes, she's indeed in my stationary security service squad

[bleak wave]

then might go for sakiko if haruka banner is good for me

[formal shadow]

-# inb4 wisadel F tier cause makes game boring

[robust thistle]

thats what people said about silverash 5 years ago

[bleak wave]

kinda fair i avoid using her in main story for that reason

[woeful zodiac]

wisadel F tier cause she's diluting my operator list 😠

[pine plover]

still wonder why HG doesnt make DoT into single keyword mechanic that can benefit from more stuff and utilized by more enemies and allies

[robust thistle]

make what

[hollow wind]

[robust thistle]

its pretty simple, because if they make it a keyword, if it breaks then everything with that keyword breaks

[woeful zodiac]

it doesnt have a keyword but its technically a dmg type that has its own buff

but its tin man

[cinder hearth]

Cry about it - HG

[pine plover]

man tin

[woeful zodiac]

also, pozy s2 lol

[formal shadow]

man the tin

[pine plover]

somehow pozemka s2 is coded as DoT

[odd sky]

🤯

[formal shadow]

amazing to see anyone actually using pozy s2

[bleak wave]

between haruka and hoshiguma alter who's the most important to get?

[buoyant pawn]

How to win this, it feels like fixed to lose

[odd sky]

fixed to read

[pine plover]

reading is the way......

[woeful zodiac]

you dont lose when u read the mechanics

[tame pier]

EN can’t read

[pine plover]

won't read

[robust thistle]

don't read

[odd sky]

wdym by pozy s2 is dot, how does that work? the 3 atk?

[tame pier]

Unable to read

[buoyant pawn]

Hah, wait howwww

[pine plover]

red engraving upgraded effect

[woeful zodiac]

by some miracle coding, tin man buffs the 3 hits

[odd sky]

[pine plover]

the 2nd and 3rd hit are coded as damage over time rather than 3 instance of attacks

[formal shadow]

prts :ya:

[robust thistle]

so it only buffs 2 hits

[woeful zodiac]

oh shey

im misinfo time to die

[odd sky]

lmao so weird
feel like the dev saw a shortcut and just went with it

[robust thistle]

isnt that what backend is most of the time, duct tapes

[odd sky]

:zhende:

[woeful zodiac]

copy paste is faster

[pine plover]

at least the rest of multistrike skills in the game are normal

[fallen depot]

How do you do strict judge?

[severe crypt]

You HAVE to be taking the piss nanashi

[woeful zodiac]

you read

[mild stump]

When reds are upgraded enough you don’t have to add them to the workable

[balmy panther]

he always is
or at least he fakes he is
90% of the time hes actually dumb

[mild stump]

They just fire automatically

[kind pine]

why when where what who should i prioritise im building unc mlynar rn

[balmy panther]

ela and yu i guess

[fallen depot]

This time im genuinely lost even after reading. Stage seems forced to lose. I have to use both cards on turn 1 and that makes turn 2 impossible

[kind pine]

[woeful zodiac]

forced to read 🥹

[mild stump]

Don’t use the cards. You will still win

[balmy panther]

oh and exu2
and mon3tr
and lemuen

[robust thistle]

exialt lemuen yu mon3tr ela

[kind pine]

I don’t have exu2 tho

[robust thistle]

wow you dont even know who you have

[kind pine]

Nvm i do wtf

[balmy panther]

bought accounts be like

[mild stump]

How the fuck does gemgraving work by the way. I understood it well enough to win but still very little clue

[robust thistle]

its p2 even

[bright bobcat]

so from the event is papyrus the only person you can get?

[kind pine]

yea i only login whenever an event i like comes then pull then leave again

[mild stump]

Yeah

[woeful zodiac]

if you look closer, the red one has a secret passive hidden behind english text 🤫
If you abuse this secret mechanic, you win. You just have to sacc the non reds when ur about to die.

[kind pine]

this is mine tho 💔

[fallen depot]

150 out of 55

[kind pine]

i just have insane luck giys cmon and the only pack i bought was like the dollar one

[balmy panther]

nanashi
read the upgrades

[severe crypt]

Nvm bro is actually piss at the game rather

[balmy panther]

at least this wont rerun again
last year and this time are enough

[woeful zodiac]

he's taking the piss on himself

[robust thistle]

theres no minigame on the permanent version?

[balmy panther]

no

[fallen depot]

Holy fuck there is a hidden ability on the first card

[severe crypt]

“Hidden”

[fallen depot]

God damn it

[balmy panther]

all the minigames are cut from the perma versions

[robust thistle]

thats because you found it in a hidden grotto

[lost bloom]

how much should i grind on AS-9

[robust thistle]

check your planner

[woeful zodiac]

english text is hidden mechanics guys

[balmy panther]

depends
you have 3 mats
farm whatever you dont have
im slaving in as-7

[lost bloom]

i mean all 3 mats i have under 10 xD

[balmy panther]

then farm all 3?

[robust thistle]

yeah, check your planner

go to krooster.com, make a planner on all your targets, see how many you need

[balmy panther]

was ave mujica right after Ato in cn?

[robust thistle]

more like before SAlter

[kind pine]

oh yeah when is summer event this year

[robust thistle]

[kind pine]

who’s this

[woeful zodiac]

hit the beach in january style

[severe crypt]

Mantra

[pine plover]

being aussie

[nimble kite]

Mantha.
Aka Ely's Granny.

[balmy panther]

wow
Ato + Ave mujica will be very expensive

[woeful zodiac]

cheap if ur 6starless player

[pine plover]

time to start working graveyard shift as graveyard caretaker in a graveyard

[woeful zodiac]

does anyone remember the 5 star pity thing for collab?
was it next 5 star will be the other person if you pull one of them

[pine plover]

all i remember getting 5★ collab can be more frustrating

[woeful zodiac]

yes it was annoying, I never got chilchuck 🥹

[crisp dawn]

do recruitment tags reset after updates

considering saving top+summon for when kal is added to recruitment pool

[balmy panther]

they reset yes

[crisp dawn]

4/5 of my top ops have been ifrit/mosti and/or siege/bagpipe lmfao

[slim tusk]

you can't save it

[nimble kite]

If adds new ops in pool, they 100% will be refreshed.

Otherwise if normal MT without this - won't.

[odd sky]

there was one time just not long ago

[worn trellis]

For IS6, Whats the highest percent of score efficiency? And on which level of guided tour?

[odd sky]

10, 1,5x

[worn trellis]

What does the 1,5x mean?

[slim tusk]

score multiplier?

[oblique grail]

What am i supposed to do here

[formal shadow]

read upgraded red card effect

[oblique grail]

@odd sky alr tnx

[tender nebula]

Hey guys! So... what do I pick here? Checked the Recruitment calculator, it's not like i particularly enjoy any char I can guarantee to get and their skills are not too good

[formal shadow]

cc gamble probs

[wicked charm]

Am i cooked if i already upgraded my office to lvl 3

[tender nebula]

These?

[formal shadow]

slightly. not too much

[formal shadow]

yeah. ceobe's still fine and you have a bunch of niche pick if you ever get into that later

[oblique grail]

Weedy might be best here

[split sphinx]

2 less max facilities for you

[tender nebula]

Aight... wish me luck then

[split sphinx]

Why does ceobe have ccontrol tag?

[wicked charm]

Dang...

[odd sky]

s1

[formal shadow]

s1 bind or something

[tender nebula]

Hey there, my first 'gacha' 6 star

Did I get lucky?

[formal shadow]

yeah i'd say so

[tender nebula]

Yeah s1 binds

[lone valley]

Keyobe good
Not very useful in general, but when the situation calls for it

[tender nebula]

I'll use her for now, no casters except Amiya and the 3-star

[odd sky]

she uses s2

[narrow ibex]

which zuo le skill is better/higher mastery priority?

Also does mylnar need mod

[plucky coyote]

Is there a difference between Standard Headhunting and Kernel?

[ancient lotus]

mlynar is usable (and good) without mod, but really wants mod1 to feel better, and mod3 provides a very sizable stat increase

[cinder hearth]

If you're just playing general story content, use s2.

If Zuo Le isn't under enough pressure this skill induces it by cutting his HP.

[modern pivot]

what is even the diff between those?

[cinder hearth]

One is from kernel banner, one is not

[modern pivot]

okay but why does that matter

[cinder hearth]

You can safely ignore it.

[knotty wave]

kernel is where very old ops go so as to not bloat the gacha pool, they range from being niche to outdated ops

[plucky coyote]

Ah, alright.

[cinder hearth]

They transform into different certificates in the cert shop, that's the thing. She isn't even max potential yet and you should almost never pull on kernel, so it hardly matters.

[lone valley]

S3

[nimble kite]

Because Kernel tokens has less value than Standard tokens.

You can see yourself difference between Green/Gold and Blue Certs shop.

You want Gold more than Blue.

[lament trench]

gamers, has ascalon debuted in the gold cert shop? if no when is she expected to come? if yes when was she last in there?

[nimble kite]

Game expects that you would pull Kernel, and use those tokens first.

But since we suggest to ignore this banner completely, this warning loses its purpose.

[fathom nest]

No, we have no idea when

[kind igloo]

Is the pre register reward for arknight endfield broken? It stuck at 96 percent or is it just that many?

[lone valley]

[fathom nest]

Ask #off-topic as that game has nothing to do with this server

[kind igloo]

Owh

[lone valley]

Ir go to the endfield server

[lost bloom]

Should i buy LMD or managanese ore from the sho[

[ancient lotus]

LMD has the lowest value per token

[narrow ibex]

Don't buy the infinite lmd

[violet siren]

what does that mean? How do you get yellow certs from buying her tokens ?

[wary vector]

is the gemstone minigame need to be done daily

[proven kelp]

Only for Players who played during the first run will get it

[fathom nest]

If you had potentials on her before, any extra you get you exchange for certs

[violet siren]

ah crap

-200 event currency for nothing

[thorny edge]

its ok papyrus has good cn voicelines

[proven kelp]

On a side note, that bot is really misleading. Should note that its only for old players
not surprising anyway, nothing new

[cinder hearth]

Who writes those bot lines, anyways?

I remember we've complained about some of the things it says for a while by now.

[robust thistle]

Mods

[lean nest]

Should i e2 leizi or e2 my 4* first

[cinder hearth]

Clearly some mods need to go into kernel

[proven kelp]

Leizi, theres really no reason to prioritize e2 a 4*

[cinder hearth]

Leizi e2 first

[lean nest]

Alright ty

[fathom nest]

Wrysch does

[earnest skiff]

Which of these is the best and which of these is the easiest to get based on my ops?

I was wanna E2 my Raidian

[shadow bay]

just go special or support squad and borrow something like exualter or tragodia

ahh yeh trago cheeze ed1 boss so he would be better borrow

[trail pike]

Only A3 and higher, though.

[shadow bay]

his problem is e2ing raidian

[patent heron]

Oh

[earnest skiff]

I am new btw, idk any terms here. What is ED and A?

[shadow bay]

and e2 raidian want is6 clrd in d2

[patent heron]

Didn't see

Maybe support squad and borrow wis?

[proven kelp]

ED means Ending, each IS can have different boss/ending

A means Ascension or Difficulty

[trail pike]

Wis is kinda bad when you have Tragodia and Exualter. At least for IS6

[patent heron]

Or those two

[shadow bay]

ed means ending, every IS have ending depends on ur run... u should know this as times goes on(different ending means different boss u will fight)

A should be ascension, meaning difficulty of run(also reffered such as d2, d6, d7, d15... yeh u get it)

[nimble kite]

ED = Ending. Most of the time, IS has several endings, End1 is standard one, where you just reach Floor 5 and beat the final boss.

A*<number>* or D*<number>* - Difficulty Level, in IS6 it's called "Guided Tour", from 0 (no number) to 15/18.

[earnest skiff]

Oh yeah, I btw haven't even gotten any ending there. Am I just trying to rush it or is it just a skill issue?

[patent heron]

I guess it's easier to borrow trag and cheese ending 1 by permastalling boss in top corner

[frail thunder]

That’s not true, why not have 3 op carries when you can

[shadow bay]

understandable given ur roster

although ig that may also be the case since u lack map knowledge, which is fine... its part of IS journey

[patent heron]

He can't

[frail thunder]

Ah okay

[earnest skiff]

Which of these is the best for my ops?

[robust thistle]

Pick who you want to borrow first

Tragodia borrow means you want a supporter, etc wtc

[proven kelp]

Overcoming Your Weakness tends to be the better one for a newbie, since you want to Start with Trag, and Guard + Medic voucher means you can draft Purestream and Luo/Windschoot from the start for Yan ops

[robust thistle]

Who even puts xiaohei support

[proven kelp]

Just put a gun to their head and they will put him

[modern pivot]

when can i put a 6 star as support?

[robust thistle]

Reception room lv2+

[modern pivot]

ohh okay thx

[shadow bay]

i think i have my fully maxed luo in sup

[patent heron]

You'll probably have to borrow your 4 stars no matter which squad you pick
Medic guard is probably more comfortable, but starting with ethan can save your ass if you get unlucky to get hitcount-heavy maps and i see you didn't level yours

[shadow bay]

just build ur own ethan and be lucky enuf to get spec voucher in run

[earnest skiff]

Idk who is who, who is Ethan?

[trail pike]

Not building Ethan is permanent account damage

[patent heron]

Playing IS with no units is going to be pretty rough

[proven kelp]

I mean, you don't really need to level him, just level up his skill, he doesn't really care about his actual stats

[earnest skiff]

Like I only have small knowledge of characters here

[frail thunder]

Me cause people asked me to

[trail pike]

This is Ethan

You get him through red certificates

[earnest skiff]

Yeah, ik shit about any characters here😭

[worldly sapphire]

Anyone remember whaat 6 stars we will be able to get for free in the future? I rermembered Surtr, and 3 more

[proven kelp]

Surtr, Eyja, Saria, Bagpipe

[earnest skiff]

If I got Ethan recommended does that mean he is a top prior to buy from the red certificate or is there someone/something else I should buy first?

[shadow bay]

and now he expect to get all those 4 unless i misread his phrasing

[earnest skiff]

I haven't bought anything with my Red Certificate

[proven kelp]

He isn't really top prio

You buy Quartz first for base, only get Ethan if you know what you are using him for

[patent heron]

Him and module blocks

[coarse notch]

quartz for base

[trail pike]

Ethan is one of the strongest units because of the CC he provides alongside great utility. If you slander him, Silvergun will appear at your door.

[proven kelp]

congrats ig

[patent heron]

Do your enemies like moving?

[coarse notch]

yall are going a bit too much with the glaze

[woeful zodiac]

my enemies like the grave by shooting them instead of rooting them

[shadow bay]

i love my glazing ok

[woeful zodiac]

ordered raw donut no sugar 😠

[trail pike]

Silvergun inbound. Prepare for impact.

[coarse notch]

uh ok

[proven kelp]

cool

[woeful zodiac]

I dont think silvergun likes ethan that much. The hardest stages 4 star only relies on ethan RNG and ethan prob gives him headache

[drowsy hollow]

What's the point of trust?

[modern pivot]

how exactly does the tanking work ? i notice some units can tank 1 enemy, some can tanke all, and then again some enemies (without stealth ) still run through

[trail pike]

Statboost

[coarse notch]

block count

[proven kelp]

Unlocking Module, Extra stats, and other Operator info

[coarse notch]

some enemies are unblockable

[modern pivot]

does the class matter for that? or is it each unit specific

[patent heron]

Stat boosts, module upgrade requirements, voicelines and some lore

[coarse notch]

archetypes have the same block count, this can change based on skill and module

[proven kelp]

Each Archetype has its base Block Amount that can increase or decrease base on their skill or module, such as Protector giving them an additional 1 for a total of 4
Such as Arts guard having only 1
Duelist Defender also 1
Guardian is 2 but elite gets them to 3
Protector have 3 at the get go

[coarse notch]

and liberators automatically set their block to 0 when offskill

[modern pivot]

O i see

[trail pike]

There are also enemies that cannot be blocked. Like Wraiths

[proven kelp]

Then there are enemies that increase your block count and some decrease them

[woeful zodiac]

enemy can require 0-4 block depending on their description too

[modern pivot]

so for me right now the best way to not use just to go by classes right

[woeful zodiac]

best way to do what

[coarse notch]

the block count for a unit is listed in the unit stats

[modern pivot]

archetype are classes no ? 🤔

[robust thistle]

What are you talking about

[trail pike]

No, every class has multiple archetypes

[woeful zodiac]

subclass

[modern pivot]

so the archetypes are the sub classes okay

[robust thistle]

The point is, just read your operator's stats, trait, and talent

[coarse notch]

when building a squad you choose your blockers based on the stage and what you know/what is given by the operator's page

[nimble kite]

And if you cannot read/understand, ask us.

[robust thistle]

If you cant read, dont ask here, try reading first

[woeful zodiac]

disclaimer : we dont help cannot read as much as cannot understand

[modern pivot]

xD

[nimble kite]

(difficulty: impossible)

[trail pike]

Max Risk CC is easier than reading

[modern pivot]

So he can tank 1 unit right?

[coarse notch]

except when his s2 is active

[trail pike]

yes

[robust thistle]

Read his skill too

[modern pivot]

ohh i see, nice thx

[robust thistle]

The wonders of reading

[coarse notch]

no need to send pictures btw we all have it basically memorized

[split raven]

can leizi s2 attack aerial?

[bright lake]

hey is rocc one of the farmable resources this event?

[shadow bay]

w8 u all memorize stuff???

[split raven]

don't underestimate the brain power of the nerds

[bitter anvil]

Consumes 100 HP per second and deals 200 True damage per second to enemies that have either attacked or been attacked by this unit. Attack range +1, Max HP +60%, ATK +120%, and each attack restores 5% HP and has a 25% chance to stun targets for 5 seconds

[woeful zodiac]

h*e

[coarse notch]

no
rock should be farmed in 1-7 anyways

[split raven]

yes you can farm rock in this event for event currency only

[bitter anvil]

There will be a rock farm in ato tho, that also not worth? man 1-7

[coarse notch]

guess my brain just blocked it out
1-7 is always the best

[trail pike]

1-7 is always 'optimal' as far as I remember, but I can't be arsed to farm 1-7.

[split raven]

not worth it but you can farm it because it make event currency tbh I would clear out the shop then 1-7 again

[coarse notch]

its like, 5 deployments man

[trail pike]

But I don't get event currency!

[shadow bay]

no way this chat is rich in oriron

[coarse notch]

well obviously you dont farm it now

[robust thistle]

You farm 1-7 on dead weeks

[coarse notch]

oriron is very useful better stock up

[woeful zodiac]

I just farmed like 5k rocks 2 years ago and I still have alot leftover

[split raven]

we have dead months now, not enough rock for you?

[proven kelp]

Are you sure

[coarse notch]

every month is a dead month if you're dead inside

[split raven]

what the hell do you use rock for

[woeful zodiac]

thats just like me fr im so edge

[coarse raptor]

Does anyone know how to pass the "strict judge" class in the event?

[bitter anvil]

pins

[split raven]

strict judge is like passive buff in hand kind of effect

[woeful zodiac]

secret mechanic hidden behind "english text" 🤫

[cinder hearth]

It's kinda funny how so few people actually read the buffs

[proven kelp]

Strict Judge is a Joker that has a x3 multiplier if you didn't play a Face Card

[split raven]

it state on the card but I guess no one read it

[coarse notch]

It's kinda funny how so few people actually read the buffs

[shadow bay]

no way balatro reference in 2026

[cinder hearth]

Ancient game tbh

[split raven]

good game gone crazy with mutilplier

[tight wind]

How important is Mlynar’s module and if it is, can i just put him in the base for trust?

[proven kelp]

Very
Yes

[tight wind]

God damn it

Modules are gonna be the death of me

[nimble kite]

Lv3 is preferable

Cause massive damage boost.

[tight wind]

Oh i can’t even get it. I’ve not gotten to chapter 11 yet

[split raven]

I don't understand not like you raise everyone I expect you have a load of modules sitting around

[tight wind]

Modules weren’t a thing when i quit so i never had the time to amass the stuff

[robust thistle]

You dont have to do everything in 1 day

[crisp loom]

Not much of a gladia simp, but always use her with ulpi
Thoughs on s3m3

[undone portal]

gladiias dps is not good enough to justify masteries, hold off until you see a clear that needs the added pull force

[bright lake]

is orirock farmable in hoshi alt event?

[split raven]

farmable yes sanity wise no

[nimble kite]

Skill is map dependant.

You want enemies go 3x3 Square or being compressed into one tile to maximize the output.

[pure coral]

If i get Surtr i have three candidates for Exu2 s3 redeploy (Ulpi s3, Surtr herself, and hoshi2, possibly even SA), sounds good or possibly overkill?

[graceful shadow]

Why is rocc very important?

[coarse notch]

its used for a lot of things and you need a lot of it

[coarse notch]

just hoshialt is enough if you're really leaning into exu2's redeploy gimmick

[pure coral]

Most recipes require rocc, and rocc can possibly be turned into orundrum

[young glacier]

If it is easy to obtain, you need shit ton of it. It is steel plate of factorio for arknights

[graceful shadow]

WAIT WHAT

[astral bear]

turning rocks into orundum is inefficient

[coarse notch]

the conversion into orundum is very bad and it basically freezes your account progression

[kindred root]

It's really really really really really really bad efficiency

[edgy crow]

you get like 3 pulls a month converting rock into orundum 💔

[astral bear]

don't do it unless you're that broke on pulls

[pure coral]

U do that in factory, but ofc it's bad, and u halt ur lmd passive gain

[young glacier]

It is 3 week wasn't it

[coarse notch]

its fineish if you're endgame with a big lmd stockpile and no desire to raise any more ops

[graceful shadow]

Oh, nvm. I thought about it. But, I remember I have less than 10k LMD

[kindred root]

It's like 2mil lmd and 1,2k rocks for 10pulls?

[astral bear]

gladiia does dps?

[edgy crow]

right yeah that

[pure coral]

It has big downsides, u do that when ur set up already but hey, passive currency is passive currency

[undone portal]

nopers

[blissful berry]

shes more of a support with her mod for the abyssal hunters

[graceful shadow]

Jeez, it really is super bad

[astral bear]

that was typed sarcastically ik her dps is so bad it might as well heal the enemy

[pure coral]

It's fun that a redeploy mechanic asks for a defender above all things

[narrow ibex]

is hellagur good

[undone portal]

s2, the skill people tend to tout as her 'dps' option, feels more likely to straight up get her killed than it is to actually kill anything you want higher phys dph for

[astral bear]

hellafelloff

his skin is cool tho and he has cool lore i like him but he old af and fell off like 2 years ago

[narrow ibex]

daym

[undone portal]

fell off on release arguably

[cinder hearth]

s2 is the skill you use when you want Gladiia to bite off way more than she can chew and then leak.

[astral bear]

if ri has a retirement plan he needs it (at least until his alter brings him back and he becomes better than wisadel or something)

[astral bear]

bro got spawn camped

[proven kelp]

So does the rest of her skill, what's your point?

All of her skills make that enemies goes to to her and hit her, it's not exclusively s2. So what makes s2 gets her more likely to get killed that doesn't apply to her other skill?

[astral bear]

i think it's bc ppl actually think s2 has good numbers

[undone portal]

..ok so you agree with me why do you phrase this like its some sort of gotcha
s1 only pulls in one enemy at a time (more manageable for her), s3 gives her 8sec to hold enemies in place and let your other ops handle it before she pulls them in

[graceful shadow]

Would it be recommended to e2 spectre? Not the alter

[coarse notch]

not really

[cinder hearth]

Nope

[undone portal]

not the worst choice you could make, but not really that good

[graceful shadow]

Man, blaze is just so ass before her s2 activates

[coarse notch]

if you have blaze you definitely shouldnt be e2ing specter

[undone portal]

consider specter will feel equally ass offskill and youll need to actually manage her skill cycle properly

fae, im not sure how productive typing up a textwall to convince me gladiia is even more ass than i chose to describe her is

[cinder hearth]

While Fae types I'll chip in my two cents.

s3 8sec sounds bad but in practice normally it's...fine for most general content. I usually use s3 over s2 there. Simple example is like in Pale Sea EX boss stage. Normally the barrel-holding enemies kill her when they reach her, but Gladiia s3 transitioning to arts and stalling does enough to kill them.

s1 is just lazy afk. It has very similar downsides to the s2 and loses the extra range + target. It does technically have higher dph and pulls more "consistently", but that's about it.

[nimble kite]

Oh, the Gladiia debate.

[cinder hearth]

Yup. Age old.

[nimble kite]

Imma go E2-90 her finally, too much spare LMD.

[pure coral]

I never used Gladiia s2 in my life tbh, i think it's ass

[proven kelp]

If your dps is able to kill something within 8 sec then that enemy is not a threat in the first place
Because you can kill it that fast or it's that weak

My issue is that you call s2 like some sort of problematic skill that gets her killed as if all of her skill doesn't share the same gimmick.

You don't really use Gladiia on her own, even your own example assumed that there are other allies to kill whatever caught in s3
So in that situation, how is s2 more "likely to her killed"?. A normal Gladiia setup wants a blocker in front of her and enemies that are a threat are normally not light, so instead of her pulling the enemies to her, she instead just pulls them to the blocker in front of her, so she's safe. Not to mention it will keep staggering the enemies when she's attempting to pull it again, helping in survivability of not only her but also the blocker

Even in the off chance that enemies that are a threat are light, then s3 if anything makes it more dangerous because you're pulling more of them to you, unlike s2 who only pulls few at a time. In case you're gonna argue that s3 clumping them helps kill them faster, well so does pulling them one at a time, clumping enemies together is really whatever since AoE nowadays can just hit them as they are

I'm not saying that Gladiia isn't ass, that's not really my issue, it's that you're somehow calling s2 more dangerous when it's really not

[cinder hearth]

I typically use s3 to slow down enemies that'd normally kill her, and chip them for extra via shifting to Arts. As you know her damage is ass so her phys DPS usually gets outpaced by the s3 arts DPS, outside of rare cases.

[coarse portal]

what skills to m3 for amiya gaurd?

[robust thistle]

is none an option

[undone portal]

neither are great but i generally prefer s1

[cinder hearth]

None is ideal. She does fine at sl7 imo

[coarse notch]

s2 technically has a use in is5 but you really should just skip masteries for guardmiya

[proven kelp]

Just don't be broke smh

[cinder hearth]

The other nice thing about s3 is it's aoe actually works fine for general content trash mobs. Most will die to it, cutting down the chance she pulls in a horde and leaks.

[forest sorrel]

Does Arknights have paid selector? If so, on what occassion does it appear and the range of operators we can get from it?

[proven kelp]

It does, it comes on some anniversary

The upcoming Silver ash alter banner in about 3 months will have one

[random kestrel]

twice a year iirc
and $30 price

the range of ops available... i forgot tbh
but once it released you can see the option there

[red escarp]

Which skill should I m3 on saria?

[lone valley]

None, u do s1m1 and call it a day

[cinder hearth]

^

[random kestrel]

S1/S3

[red escarp]

Is her module worth it?

[forest sorrel]

Oh, so it doesn't appear on every anniversary? Does the past Exu Alter banner have them?

[proven kelp]

Level 1 is fine, the one with Dmg Reduction

[cinder hearth]

ModY, I believe.

[nimble kite]

Yep.

[drowsy hollow]

Is there any benefit to completing the gemstone engraving mini game? I know there's the 45 levels, but is there any reason to actually beat all the gemstone minigames?

[kindred root]

Okay gang what the duck do i do here

[random kestrel]

no
or is there medal by complete it(?) not remember

[knotty wave]

it appears on half anni and celebration limited

[modern pivot]

this says to not farm orange ones, but doesnt offer a other stage to get those, does that mean we buy them with currency and dont farm them at all?

[cinder hearth]

Read the goddamn card effects.

[kindred root]

Mf I don't have any cards

No matter what i do there i fail

[cinder hearth]

Gemstone, card, whatever you'd like to call them.

Read their effect. Then utilize it.
Also, pins.

[kindred root]

Holy beans its the first 2 rounds of these

[abstract mauve]

the card from the first round has something special about it

[fallen pecan]

is this important

[kindred root]

Fuck i didnt know they changed w upgrades
