help

[twin vapor]

Anything I should prioritize in the Pepe Event Store?

[proven kelp]

Needs to be air

[mild yacht]

Take off is supposed to make the op immune to all ground mobs.

[proven kelp]

Left to right except for Tokens and Furniture if this is your first time doing the event

[twin vapor]

First time yea. so start from the Pulls first, then go down and skip the Furniture?

Dont think I can beat AS-6 or so, I am really early and AS-5 was hell

[stone karma]

Does weedy need mod?

[proven kelp]

If you can't beat a stage, just borrow one to clear them

Only farm the stage that you can farm

[proven kelp]

Yes, Furniture and tokens are worthless for a new player

Tho since you're very new, start with the LMD and EXP on the middle first to get resources for your units, then left to right

[proven kelp]

Not really, for the most part atleast

For simple pushing task then she's good without

[stone karma]

Ah thx

[pallid hatch]

Is it just me but I cannot pass Strict Judge Gem Puzzle, the second one will always force me to buy 3x tier 2 red with no option to refresh and it always not reaching the goal

[cinder hearth]

You just have failed to read the gemstone upgrade traits. It's not just you, however-many people also entirely fail to read. It's a common issue.

[inner atlas]

gamble for Nightingale?

[fathom nest]

Yeah

[cinder hearth]

May as well if that's the only options

[inner atlas]

got her

[eternal helm]

is the is6 character still obtainable?

[cinder hearth]

Yes

[eternal helm]

how to get her?

[thorny edge]

she's the level 1 battlepass reward

[cinder hearth]

^

[pallid hatch]

how? I mean they forced me to buy free 3 upgrade before I can proceed

[cinder hearth]

Buy, but NOT USE

Please carefully read the upgraded trait of the gemstone, then use that trait to beat the minigame.

[pallid hatch]

How to buy but not use when all 3 are the same

[cinder hearth]

Buy them. DO NOT PLAY THEM ON THE FIELD

Specifically, the first turn's gemstones

[pallid hatch]

ah yeah I feel like an idiot now

[young glacier]

Read effect after upgrade, score preview sucks and don't calculate shit 99% of times

[twin vapor]

So this is my current roster ( I had an account apparently I left in the ditch and now started to play fully)

[cinder hearth]

Strict judge is basically just a check of how well you can still pay attention in the Tiktok era. You failed, but you're very much not alone.

Plenty of other people have come in with the exact same question. We had to pin the solution.

[pallid hatch]

I did the actual event on released (not rerun) and then I forgot this shit existed, thanks

[cinder hearth]

Have fun

[cinder hearth]

Score calculator the second anything is not included in the workbench (nothing works)

It's like limbus' clash indicators.

[young glacier]

Pretty sure it just don't count ANY upgrade effects

[manic nacelle]

good start to an account

[hollow sparrow]

hg doesn’t have the budget to include those
please understand

[cinder hearth]

HG small indie company 🥹

Throw in Mylnar and that's a great opener acc.

[fathom nest]

Talking to ghosts, medic?

[modern pivot]

What was the command again for buildings?

[fathom nest]

/base?

[cinder hearth]

To the Pepe+Wis acc.
I think it's a bit weird they pulled Pepe but didn't play debut, but in any case it's a good acc.

[modern pivot]

Thanks

[valid violet]

are there other units like waai fu who can reliably lower the atk of a chosen enemy? i saw that she was useful to partially mitigate sui foot's global stomps, so i'm wondering if there are other units who can fulfill a similar purpose

hi rose

[quick jolt]

shamare

[ancient lintel]

I might sound stupid but thorns2

[broken pebble]

Who's sparkable on Ato banner. Thats like a celebration banner or something right

[quick jolt]

pepe, eyjalt, gavialt, chalter

[cinder hearth]

Shamare cycles better and doesn't need half her skill duration to ramp, so typically you just use her

[valid violet]

ah right shamare yeah

[quick jolt]

and chalter is 200

[cinder hearth]

It's summer banner

[broken pebble]

What banner can i spark Ros

[quick jolt]

celebration, next one is silveralt

[ancient lintel]

Sparkable also means you can offrate them ye?

[cinder hearth]

Celebration/half-anni

[vivid yew]

I feel sparking might not be the best idea?

[broken pebble]

Neat thanks

[cinder hearth]

Yes.
As noted, sparking and offrates are not good methods of getting ops.

[quick jolt]

correct, forces you to skip a lot of banners. its always inefficient to do. you do it if you REALLY want that character for personal reasons

[vivid yew]

With 300 pulls that's probably 3 or 4 other rate up operators in another banner

[cinder hearth]

Wow, you've learnt faster than about 90% of the general playerbase.

[vivid yew]

Well i'm not a new player

I was there when annihilation doesn't have sweep

[astral bear]

am i part of the 90%

[quick jolt]

you're super smart

[astral bear]

uh thanks?

[compact flame]

Is papyrus or gavial good when compared to ptilopsis and silence

[cinder hearth]

Nope

[astral bear]

nah ptilopsis and silence are still better

[vivid yew]

I remember back then Thorn was like the most broken shit they ever released, and now this W alter just blow up map while having more dps than him during her off skill

[astral bear]

insert that one patriot thing

[quick jolt]

thorns has always been shit they dont want to admit it 🤫

[astral bear]

ngl if ur strongest competition as an op is exu the bar really isn't high

[vivid yew]

I assume even with module Thorn is still shit no?

[opal girder]

is papyrus good? or worth building

[quick jolt]

hes useable. sometimes

[astral bear]

just use any other laneholder tho

[cinder hearth]

Pepe rust is mid. Leave her be.

[opal girder]

👍

[vivid yew]

With so many burst operatora available right now, i feel cycling burst is better than using a laneholder

[astral bear]

yeah that also works

[quick jolt]

you have discovered genslop and why it is slop

[astral bear]

slop slop slop

[compact flame]

What types of units are considered laneholders? Do defenders count

[vivid yew]

I feel Sakiko will straight up better than him 99% of the time?

[quick jolt]

100%*

[astral bear]

a laneholder is a unit that can take care of a "lane" on their own

their kit generally consists of some sort of self sustain + high consistent dps to cut down chaff and the ocasional elite

[quick jolt]

sakiko's s2, which isnt even her main skill, is basically always better than thorns. and has way faster startup (none)

[astral bear]

they are also usually independent of medics

[compact flame]

So some survival guards ig?

[astral bear]

sure, i guess, really you can make a case for an operator of any class to be a laner just as long as they fill the criteria

like you could say yu is a laner even tho he's a defender

[vivid yew]

Mudrock also exist,but i'm not sure if she is still relevant

[quick jolt]

she is considered bad

[astral bear]

she exists but is quite outclassed

[vivid yew]

Outclassed by the new one? Penance?

[quick jolt]

even penance isnt used

[vivid yew]

Bruh

[astral bear]

outclassed by yu and his dog bro

[frail thunder]

And then there’s hoshi alter

[eternal helm]

who did necrass come out with

[quick jolt]

wulfenite and brigid

[deep rampart]

hi. so i have been very into arknights again. i have been playing on and off for a few years and was wondering how well my 6 stars are holding up and if i should build any of those. lappy and exu are new and kinda the reason why i started again even tho i just pulled then quit again 😭 i do wanna play more now. i remember people telling me silverash could solo. is this still true

in case it matters i started in 2021

[slim tusk]

you have exu2 you are fine

[deep rampart]

i love playing her. i got her nendoroid as well

sadly it makes me not rly g play the first version of her

[twilit owl]

+get the module
for exu2

[deep rampart]

im still not too familiar with modules

[spare jetty]

over time u will

[deep rampart]

how well did silverash and hellagur hold up?

[frank wing]

sash is still pretty good. Probably raise lemuen, shes good

[slim tusk]

hella not used

[deep rampart]

also curious about the super soaker girl

[spare jetty]

hellagur died

[deep rampart]

too bad i found him to be cool. so not worth leveling?

[mild yacht]

-# and isekai’d in Endfield.

[spare jetty]

fell off practically

[deep rampart]

i got her to like 5 or 6 dupes or something like that. i was wondering how rare/good that is

still usable?

[spare jetty]

normal
dupes doesn't matters it just optional

[frank wing]

ch'en kinda fell off, but she's still pretty good and you already built her so id use her

[mild yacht]

They mainly matter on welfares.

[spare jetty]

but very nice for ur wife/husband-

[deep rampart]

i like normal lappy the most for that matter. i did a lappy texas couple cosplay very cool

[loud cargo]

New player and I still do kinda struggle with reading skills and understanding them, but correct me if im wrong, isnt Mylnar's S2 extra effect kinda redundant since it takes 40s to charge up the skill so he'd have his trait maxed out by that time regardless if it didnt reset?

[mild yacht]

Yours is only sl3. Sl7 is 30s.

[loud cargo]

Ahh that makes sense, since im too early game to kinda afford that just yet, would his s1 be the better alternative for now?

[deep rampart]

so whatst he point of getting extra copies? i almost have her maxed as example

[odd sky]

upgrade his skill to lvl7

[chrome prawn]

How do I win on strict judges dawg because after I use every technique on round 1 it all gone on round 2

[nocturne sandal]

by reading the card's description

[chrome prawn]

Huh I read it tho the first round only give me 2 card I need use that 2 card to get pass round 1

[odd sky]

you didn't read it

[nocturne sandal]

"reading" includes understanding the meaning of the text

[chrome prawn]

Huh

[normal crypt]

read the description of the upgrade specifically

[wet pine]

Is there any specialist worth investing into?

[odd sky]

who do you have

[shadow bay]

there are a lot of good specialist

now who specialist u have atm?

[chrome prawn]

Ohhh dawg my bad I don't know it can work Like that

[oak shale]

Does sakiko hit aerial units too or just ground?

[wet pine]

✌️

[cinder hearth]

Aerial. All lords can.

[shadow bay]

those are supporters

[cinder hearth]

Except a few exceptions like Qiubai s2, you can usually assume a Lord and their skills can hit air.

[wet pine]

Uuuh I forgot which icon is specialist, give me a moment

[shadow bay]

[hollow wind]

[cinder hearth]

[odd sky]

[cinder hearth]

Do you think they got it or nah

[hollow wind]

❌

[shadow bay]

also u have krooster just send the link

[slim tusk]

why make krooster if you end up sending screenshot anyhow

[shadow bay]

kafka can be used uninvested btw (like e0l1)

but anyway, those are whatever and fine sleeping...

ig if u need pull and push u may raise rope and shaw, respectively

[wet pine]

I'm a lil slow in the head, sorry

[shadow bay]

do people still keep jaye unraised for base???

[severe crypt]

Not me, I use Karlan

[wet pine]

Double Kroos team low-key fire, it's like having 4 marksmans but you actually have 2

[odd sky]

keep in mind tho, marksmen have low atk, they are bad against high def

[quiet pilot]

does anyone know if there's something like the mastery priority guide we used to have on gamepress?

[wet pine]

I have click to deal with that

[frail thunder]

Roadless Camelot is somewhat similar in pins

[odd sky]

we have recommended build, roadless camelot in pins, but for prio asking here is better, quite a bit of context needed

[quiet pilot]

ok i was gonna ask what masteries to prioritize for mizuki in is

[lone valley]

S2

[odd sky]

only s2, maybe wants s3 if you need the big range

[cinder hearth]

S3 makes him become an active, uh, self-harm risk, which is funny but usually not great.

[odd sky]

well s3 here specifically pulling theresis

[fathom nest]

Wrong server

[wet pine]

Why is your Kafka purple

[coral knot]

Wait

[severe crypt]

Smooth one

[coral knot]

Dang, so many gacha servers, my bad

[severe crypt]

couldn’t be me

[undone portal]

what if i e2ed jaye before i learned to pay attention to base

[coral knot]

Whats Jaye base skill?

[mild yacht]

The one that cripples itself at e2.

Or e1.

[split sphinx]

Have gnosis

[mild yacht]

-# Ew, kernel.

[coral knot]

Most of my base officers are still e0

I need to upgrade Whisperain, Gnosis, Bibeak, Diamante and countless others

[undone portal]

jaye boosts production more if there is a high difference between the current number of pending orders and your order limit (rewards checking in and trading asap)
at e1, he starts reducing order limit while not boosting speed enough current pending order to make up for it. that is, unless you run jaye with karlan ops + gnosis in cc, since gnosis boosts the limit back up to usable standards

[coral knot]

Is it the alters team worth E2ing though? Lava/Kross and the others that are infinite base workers

[undone portal]

a1 alters already have the cc skill at e0, no need

[coral knot]

But their second skill is only at E2 no?

[split sphinx]

You are losing production boost just so you can skip rotate button on cc

[mild yacht]

Second combat skills are always e1. Only 6 have a third skill at e2.

[coral knot]

Wait, arent 5* also E2? I am talking about base skills btw

[mild yacht]

And Amiya, because she decided to screw the rules.

[shadow bay]

most of the cases 5 star does unlock skill at e2

i dunno if we only have fia that have full benefits in base skill upon e0

[mild yacht]

Not every skill is worth unlocking, though.

[coral knot]

Is it Whisperain good to unlock for Rosmo combo?

[plucky coyote]

How do you compete the “Visit friends’ bases 1 time.” Pinboard quest if you don’t have any friends?

[coral knot]

Just add a friend

[cinder hearth]

You get friends.

[nimble zenith]

is kafka the best option for dot

[cinder hearth]

Promise it's not that hard. Go into a stage op select screen, go to the borrow section, then spam friend req's to various folks with support units that you see. Eventually you'll get some.

[coral knot]

Dang

[rancid grove]

What tf is even the pull currency of this game

[cinder hearth]

Orundrum.

Originium prime converts to orundrum or can be spent on usually skins.

[mild yacht]

-# Why is the drum running? What did you do to it!?

[rancid grove]

Then wtf is this orange thing I keep getting

[plucky coyote]

😭

[formal shadow]

orange? does it look like

[split sphinx]

Screenshot

[cinder hearth]

Originite prime. It's basically a resource that can be converted into orundrum or used to buy certain things, mainly skins as noted.

[mild yacht]

[split sphinx]

Sir that's not orange

[rancid grove]

And how much does one Originite give in terms of pull currency

[nimble zenith]

[cinder hearth]

1 OP = 180 Orundrum.

[formal shadow]

0.3 pull per

[mild yacht]

Some people are colorblind, and some people have different color settings on their displays.

[fiery lynx]

credit currency mayhaps

[shadow bay]

and then there are actual blind ones

[rancid grove]

Also....how F2P friendly is Arknights

[mild yacht]

Some ||monsters|| people use ‘warm setting’.

[cinder hearth]

The in-game icon is fairly adjacent to orange so it's fine to call it orange-ish.

AK is somewhat F2P friendly.

[mild yacht]

Lore does call it orange fanta, as well.

[shadow bay]

orange huh

i shall call you yellow rock

[formal shadow]

if you ask here you'll just get inherently biased answers advocating for it

[rancid grove]

Be honest

[pseudo flume]

Its fairly f2p friendly

[rancid grove]

How easy is it to get a few 6 stars

[formal shadow]

never paid a cent and it is fine for me

[split sphinx]

Decent. But in terms of clearing content, very f2p friendly (you dont need meta to get all rewards)

[mild yacht]

If you’re conservative, it’s very friendly. If you want everything, then .

[cinder hearth]

On average it's technically a 6* per 35 pulls, so not bad.

[pseudo flume]

The average is 35 pulls and the unusual is 70 pulls

[rancid grove]

Oh yeah I got the shield woman from the beginner banner thing

[formal shadow]

saria? not bad

[split sphinx]

Cover Bro's eyes (5000 pulls worth of spark-only limiteds)

[shadow bay]

2% base chance hit frequently u think we are in charity or something

[cinder hearth]

F2P friendliness really depends on how much you like getting and building ops. I like to build a relatively large 4/5 star roster alongside my 6 stars, so I'm consistently out of resources and have bought the monthly card plenty of times.

[rancid grove]

And who should I get from the standard 5 star selector thing

[formal shadow]

consult the pins. it is updated

[shadow bay]

pins should answer this one

we have all newbie guides there

[rancid grove]

Actually how good are the lower rarities

[cinder hearth]

They're decent but very outclassed by the best 6* ops

[mild yacht]

-# We would be if this were JP.

[cinder hearth]

Basically 6 star ops are overtuned for most regular Arknights content, so 4 and 5 star ops seem bad in comparison but relative to standard stage difficulty, are fine.

[split sphinx]

good enough to clear all content (with rewards), will need brain tho

[woeful zodiac]

-# f2p friendly for me because im forced to be f2p, google play bans my card cause im in jp 🙂

[rancid grove]

As expected then

[mild yacht]

-# Why would you not play on the server that gives you shinies?

[rancid grove]

There's one character I want the most and that is mf W

[cinder hearth]

[odd sky]

you can easily get W i guess

[regal pumice]

hey there, looking for someone who has a lvl90 narantuya s3m3 i can borrow

[split sphinx]

200 pulls

[radiant mantle]

You'll have to spark her probably

[rancid grove]

Does spark currency carry over

[formal shadow]

no

[mild yacht]

It’s practically guaranteed you’ll need to spark.

[radiant mantle]

Getting older limiteds is hell in this game.

[regal pumice]

my current friend narantuya is only lvl70, and its not enough is anyone willing to friend me?

[cinder hearth]

It's basically entirely rng. Besides, Wis won't be available to even try to spark until a little under 4 months from now.

[mild yacht]

-# Do they even know who Wis is?

[radiant mantle]

You'll have to be Hella patient

[cinder hearth]

They can take Wis as a typo of W

[rancid grove]

You mean this woman?

[woeful zodiac]

wishapon a star

[mild yacht]

-# Unless they think it’s Whisperain.

[radiant mantle]

@rancid grove W has an alter form if you didn't know

[formal shadow]

no that's w

[cinder hearth]

Wisperain metah

[rancid grove]

Is that a skin

[radiant mantle]

Separate unit

[tiny abyss]

Alternate unit

[radiant mantle]

She's broken as well

[mild yacht]

Not alternate, that is thee W.

[tiny abyss]

Is Wisadel lore just that she found a superweapon

[rancid grove]

Wait so is the one that got added in Muse Dash W or Wisadel

[mild yacht]

Wis’adel is the alternate to W. W is the original. And also a frequent punching bag, second only to Clownslayer.

[woeful zodiac]

the newb spark bait

[tiny abyss]

Wisadel

[rancid grove]

Ooooh

[radiant mantle]

300 pulls to spark

[mild yacht]

It does show her name on there.

[rancid grove]

Well how about her then

[tiny abyss]

You'll need 300 to spark because she's a newer unit

[rancid grove]

How long will that take

[mild yacht]

That means you also have a chance of not needing 300.

[formal shadow]

and some "clothing" scraps she picked up in the londinium ruins

[tiny abyss]

Ah yes the clothes...

[radiant mantle]

A few months if you're consistent

[split sphinx]

yes, but offrating past limited is abysmally low chance so don't even cope not needing 300

[rancid grove]

Could I get other 6 stars by that time

[radiant mantle]

We're getting a good banner very soon so yes

[mild yacht]

Then tell the Suiblings to stop offrating.

[radiant mantle]

And you're new

[split sphinx]

no, I want yu/shu spook

[mild yacht]

-# You can’t be spooked by what you already have.

[tiny abyss]

Wait what happens if HG runs out of Suiblings to make new ops

[formal shadow]

iirc you have to fast

[mild yacht]

Then you get the other Shu.

[split sphinx]

print more

[rancid grove]

And that being?

[lone valley]

The game ends service

[woeful zodiac]

they gonna start suibling alts for an extra 12 years bru

[rancid grove]

Alright, I might be convinced

[tiny abyss]

Are you waifuknights

[mint birch]

should I risk my only 10x pull to try and get mlynar?

[quick jolt]

no

[mint birch]

ok then

[rancid grove]

So like what does Haruka do

[formal shadow]

[mild yacht]

Make bubbles, heal, hit things.

[tiny abyss]

Make ur team immortal (jk)

[mild yacht]

Wrong op.

ok so ive returned so who do i pull?

To quote Kyo: “First, you wait.”

[indigo spoke]

hey guys this guy shield is hitcount or dmg

[cinder hearth]

Dmg

[indigo spoke]

immediately waiting.

[radiant mantle]

[mild yacht]

Wait harder.

[mighty charm]

so get mlynar, ok

[tiny abyss]

Buy, not pull

[indigo spoke]

when did thorns2 banner start in CN

[mighty charm]

oh i dont think i know how many gold certs i have

[tardy cobalt]

For IS6 is there any way to tell where the node for ending 2 is in the dream

[formal shadow]

not until expansion 1 afaik

[indigo spoke]

no you need to find it, find a guide in pins #is-station

[tiny abyss]

Rq how much trust does RIIC assistant and activity room give

[indigo spoke]

iirc 5% per day

[odd sky]

depends on ambiance

[tiny abyss]

Isn't it points

[lone valley]

More ambience = more trust
Dont think we have an exsct number for it however as its too much kinds of fuckery

[indigo spoke]

isnt it all 5%?

[lone valley]

Again, it depends so no

[tiny abyss]

Ethan 110%>110%:

[cinder hearth]

Nope. Trust costs exponential amounts to raise as it increases.

[mild yacht]

Average with max ambiance is 8-9% for lead, the rest are 4-5%..

[odd sky]

i saw the infographic once, don't know where it went tho

[cinder hearth]

Well increase is actually linear but it increases dramatically. You get the idea.

[mighty charm]

yeah i only have 75 gold certs XD

[tiny abyss]

Save then

[tulip cliff]

I have 146 gold certs guess I'll wait for another mlynar on the shop again

[indigo spoke]

nice imma read it and forget tmr

when did thorns alter banner start in CN guys

[mild yacht]

EN performing as intended.

[tiny abyss]

Wait so does activity room add to total ambience

[tacit portal]

IS6 question, if I exchange a risk coin in the Plan node, I get another risk coin or something else?

[mild yacht]

That was made ages ago, before the time of activity rooms.

[indigo spoke]

if you answer me i just ask when thorns alter banner start

[mild yacht]

I was talking about the read and forget.

[formal shadow]

just check wiki 🥀

[outer ermine]

is there a meta to this

[regal pumice]

yes

[indigo spoke]

check pins for video

[indigo spoke]

idk where can you help for first time i wont asking again

[tiny abyss]

Oh so activity room doesnt affect that table

[tacit portal]

someone knows?

Y mod gives her more res ignore, in turn giving her more dmg vs all enemies whos res is high but it needs to be lvled so, womp womp

[odd sky]

y trait give more ramp if stays on 1 enemy, x gives faster ramp

[lone valley]

We get hoshi banner

[fossil horizon]

Oh okay, cool ty ^^

[nimble zenith]

flop

my mom asked if the fish were alive
i said “gg mod y!”
she smiled because she knew they flopped

[lone valley]

Hi jennie

Hope youre having a good day

[nimble zenith]

hi fredi
my day was just ok
thx for your hopes

it may improve depending on if canto 9 pt 2 is good though

[outer ermine]

after ave mujica we can chill on banners until kjerag right

[odd sky]

sure

[nimble zenith]

mantra is the new release in between anyways
though nasti and titi (after SA) are skips so it’s pretty ok after sakiko

[random kestrel]

idk, its more like what you want to do with future banner
for example want to get nasti because its improve leizi2 s3 use case
either worth or nah its up to you

[robust thistle]

pulling nasti for leizi S3 smells like pulling GG for burn slop

[random kestrel]

its exaclty that

[nimble zenith]

the same goes for most skippable ops
they might have a small number of niche use cases but are overall not worth it

[odd sky]

nasty

[grand wigeon]

whats worth doing here

[odd sky]

you pull nasti for relicless em army

[split sphinx]

is CN overdue for another broken limited

[shadow bay]

shit tags would yolo

or ig cope to something like... uhhh saria weedy or ... bagpipe?

[grand wigeon]

my op list

[nimble zenith]

cn is overdue for a mid limited

[random kestrel]

i could rather gamba specialist to aim weedy based on tags available

[nimble zenith]

i got chicken fettuccine so my day is good now

[shadow bay]

but what if i pull nasti so i can place wisadel globally in a sense ?

[nimble zenith]

you could place mlynar there instead of wis

[random kestrel]

eventually everything have to go to global shenanigans

[nimble zenith]

global warming

if nian released in 2025 instead of 1999 would she have yus kit

[random kestrel]

probably
but still, she is the best brick up until now
even after how many years(?)

[nimble zenith]

one day we will get a brick with +def self heal dmg reduction shelter -atk +dodge

[random kestrel]

that show how much hg love suibling

[umbral crescent]

if the 1 to 1 ratio of Blue0 to Blue1 is 1 point each to 5 points each with a Yellow biproduct, why isn't the result 100 Blue1's and 100 yellows? this is why i like Balatro and not Balatro clones lol

[buoyant pawn]

So I've reading some guide about mod

What those letter mean ?

What rank are those ?

[robust thistle]

thats a terrible format

have you considered not using that guide

ok you're not including the table header

[odd sky]

are you not reading

[robust thistle]

scroll up and you'll see the table header

[outer gyro]

the 100 ingredients is split in a 1:1 ratio which results in 5) blue 50 yellow

[severe crypt]

Smooth one

[eager citrus]

Wrong person mb gang

[indigo spoke]

hey guys do orundum in intelligence cert shop refresh?

[ancient wind]

Is Jackie just a worse version of Mountain?

[formal shadow]

like way worse yeah

[robust thistle]

comparing jackie to mountain should be an insult

[robust thistle]

they add 2000 for every event rerun

intel shop doesnt refresh, they just add more stuff

[slim tusk]

jackie has better dodge ril

[cloud gulch]

Does pairing Proviso with U-official in base do anything?

[severe crypt]

wtf does uofficial do to proviso

[ancient wind]

I mean they’re S1’s are very similar, that’s all

[knotty wave]

mountain dont even use s1

[severe crypt]

Also it’s “their”

[robust thistle]

a lot of S1s are similar

[slim tusk]

yes,gimping yourself

[robust thistle]

most S1s are just different flavors of 'hit x amount of times, then hit harder on the next attack'

[knotty wave]

ye like those power strikes where they have bonus dmg or atks twice after x amount of atks, s1s are mostly copy paste

[robust thistle]

thats terrible

[slim tusk]

yes you are trolling yourself

[robust thistle]

no it doesnt work with proviso

[cloud gulch]

Ok, that's what I needed to know

[robust thistle]

even if it does, its still terrible

[outer gyro]

if it worked it might've been good in a tp3

it forces a prod mult of 2x (the usual tp2 prov setup is 1.8x)

but it doesn't so whateverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[strong sandal]

should i pull for hoshialter

[robust thistle]

sure both of the banner ops are good

[strong sandal]

haruka(?) seems fun and hoshi is just stupid broken

[severe crypt]

We finna call the first iPhone “stupid broken” atp

[robust thistle]

haruka seems fun when shes like one of the best pure healers

[bright bobcat]

so i just realized that there is stupid amount of rewards in IS, which one has the best operator to farm out?

[robust thistle]

is6

[coarse notch]

raidian (is6) is semi good if you're a newbie, the other welfares suck

[bright bobcat]

tinman?

[robust thistle]

thats 5

[bright bobcat]

oh garden is 6 gotcha

[coarse notch]

is5 is the fastest to farm by far

and raidian still needs some hands to pilot semi effectively outside of is6

[robust thistle]

3 deploy limit be like

[bright bobcat]

so all the other welfare operators are not worth it in the slightest besides the materials in each one?

[robust thistle]

most welfares arent worth it

you can fit the amount of good welfares in one hand

[coarse notch]

could probably lose a couple of fingers in an accident and still fit them on one hand

[bright bobcat]

im curious if its strictly opinion or not though

[narrow ibex]

can zuo le boss kill

[coarse notch]

depends on the boss, hes not very fast at it but he may be able to infinitely stall

[robust thistle]

everything in this channel is an opinion

[bright bobcat]

true

[coarse notch]

not sure what you mean by this, almost everything can technically be construed as an opinion

what we do have are arguments for/against an operator, and it turns out the majority of welfares dont do well in those

[coarse notch]

you throw zuole in front of quilon and your entire team eats shit
meanwhile he pretty much solos croc priestess

[bright bobcat]

if what people say is biased off of personal opinion or on stats and gameplay thats all

[thick dock]

guys is engraving endless mode rng

[boreal osprey]

Is there anyway to make penance s1 a permanent stun cycle?

[robust thistle]

no

well you can make a scuffed 'permastun' if you slot in erato kafka or blacknight

[spare smelt]

if i don't know what trag mod is good for other than bigger damage should i get it or do something else like raise zuo le

[boreal osprey]

Does sp batteries like stainless work?

[rare nexus]

what if i leave early? will i keep my candle or not

[robust thistle]

here is what youre missing, penance s1 only stuns if its overcharged

[coarse notch]

stats are a part of it but this game is too complex to reduce everything down to that
ex. indigo is pretty useless everywhere except shes absolutely vital to is5, same with amiya
we all have our biases based on what we tend to play, a tournament player is gonna have a very different assessment of viability compared to a normal player
if you want to shill an operator its fine as long as you have the stats, usecases, and arguments to back it up

[robust thistle]

no

[spare smelt]

arknights has tournaments?

[echo oasis]

Is papyrus worth building

Also we need fully built characters in IS, right?

[coarse notch]

not necessarily

[echo oasis]

What's the lowest to be usable?

[thorny edge]

kafka at level 1 works wonders for example

[echo oasis]

We have Kafka in AK? Damn, lemme check wiki.

[coarse notch]

4 stars can stay at e1 max
most 6 stars ideally are fully built but sometimes they're techically usable
as long as you arent going for max diff stuff its fine to have suboptimal operators

[robust thistle]

the lowest bar depends on what strat, what carry, what difficulty, what ending

[bright bobcat]

lemuen 3rd ability is so good jesus

[thorny edge]

it scales very well with atk%

[bright bobcat]

i feel like i just focus lvl skills she can carry

[echo oasis]

Damn wow, I think I'll have to learn all those before thinking about stuff like this. For now ig I'll do IS with whatever built OPs I have. I played IS only once.

[coarse notch]

you learn as you play and lose its fine

[thorny edge]

i need this

[grand wigeon]

anyone know when the hoshi alter banner will be coming out?

[thorny edge]

watch this space

[robust thistle]

none of us here works at yostar

[bright bobcat]

is that max skill lvl?

[robust thistle]

thats with IS relics obviously

[random kestrel]

orbital nuke at its finest :ya:

[bright bobcat]

well obviously i wouldnt be asking if i knew the answer guy

[thorny edge]

didnt even get to max out drum 😔
and only 3 stacks of stir fry cuz bosky sucked balls

[robust thistle]

I forgot not everyone is an IS fanatic

[thorny edge]

this is lvl 90 pot 6 m9 mod3

[bright bobcat]

im 2 weeks in trying to figure it all out lol im trying

[robust thistle]

lemuen only has 1.5k atk on literal maxed out stat

on order to hit 70k she needs to have a skill with 4600% multiplier

[thorny edge]

ahem thats 79k btw

[bright bobcat]

to be fair im bad at math

[coarse scroll]

Can someone with taiko profile theme show me the previews for the other four profile theme cards? Ingame preview shows only myrtle ..

[thorny edge]

i gochu

[coarse scroll]

Thanks! ^^

[modern pivot]

which units can we use to drag someone ?

[robust thistle]

roberta?

[junior hull]

I got a total of 150 gold certs from the rerun event, should I use my red certs and recruit some 5* shoperators to gain the remaining 30 to buy mylnar from the shop?

[shadow bay]

sound too cope, but ig if u rly want mlynar u can do that... but ehh too much stretching

and theres also the pool stash angle... like are u good with ur pools so ull be fine not buying pulls in gold cert shop in future?

[junior hull]

I mean, I rarely even buy pulls from the gold cert shop. So I might as well buy mylnar

[shadow bay]

then ig that one check out

the other questions is are u rly okay red certing for gold certs??? coz i know ur aware its so inefecient

me personally dont advocate it coz its atrocious

[lone valley]

U have a lemuen gif fir everything or sum, laqy?

[modern pivot]

how does roberta pull someone, none of her skills says that

[thorny edge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/847221812529463349/1456398399531122894/lemon_negotiate1.gif

[lone valley]

Ily

[junior hull]

I can buy, at least 3 5* shoperators right now. So that's at least 15 gold certs guaranteed

[lone valley]

Dont believe that was meant for you
But to asnwer, its pullers
Or pushers if otherway

[shadow bay]

if u are okay with that then u can proceed despite it is rly not recommended... and thats 1.8k red certs gone

did u exhaust already ur recruitment permits?

[pseudo scroll]

Escalon, for most content :
module X (damage) or Y (healing)

[formal shadow]

x

[lone valley]

Escalon doesnt exist
Ascalon uses modX1

[robust thistle]

oh you mean shift, just check the specialists

[hearty yarrow]

Is papyrus good?

[lone valley]

Nopper

[hearty yarrow]

Cheers mate

[shadow bay]

now im thinking how drag relate to roberta??? like drag coz make up???

[robust thistle]

like "put someone in drag"

[modern pivot]

once i am base lvl 4 , how fast can i e2 people?

[pine plover]

pretty fast considering the free resource you can get around

bunch of chip pack and chip catalyst from IS reward

[feral kraken]

how do people do is6 😭 im highkey struggling just at diff1

[pine plover]

welcome to purgatory roguelike

[lone valley]

Play, lose, play again, repeat till u win

[crimson sequoia]

What's the rec mod lvl for lappy?

[lone valley]

Is6 is pretty easy once you get the hang of it

[frank wing]

raise some 4 stars, friend someone with a maxed raidian to use at the very start, and it shouldn't be too hard (I would assume so at least i suck at IS too lol)

[pine plover]

which lappy, there are 2 of her

[lone valley]

Alter? Mod1
Normal? None

[hollow wind]

ur head is empty for 180hour, that's why

[pine plover]

i remember someone mentioned that borrowed raidian will have same level and progression as your own?

[hollow wind]

proficiency, yes

[glass mango]

I bash my head till I high roll it

[lone valley]

Lost my first run, won every other till d9

[thorny edge]

i broke my win streak last night 😔

[pine plover]

wonder why HG didnt make endless run mode yet

[lone valley]

We know why

[modern pivot]

sounds nice

[pine plover]

RA can pretty much go endless

[grand wigeon]

You are

[thorny edge]

endlessly boring

[echo oasis]

Why does Trag want level 82

[lunar apex]

cus that the minimum requirment to proc nervous impairment

[limber pecan]

to get element proc off one cat on bosses

[lunar apex]

you also need module 3 for this

[echo oasis]

@haughty cipher explain what they're saying, i'm dumb

[lunar apex]

big level, cat explode 1 circle

[haughty cipher]

Dude I quit ak months ago

[limber pecan]

you know the little symbol on the bottom of an enemy when they get hit by elemental dmg? tragodia s2 has a cat that lures and does elemental dmg, one of those cats can fill the bar up fully

[echo oasis]

Oh

[haughty cipher]

There you go, I still think it's more worth to spend that lmd on other ops since you are new

But what do I know i haven't really touched the game in months so

[limber pecan]

not really worth doing unless you really wanna (or have the resources to spare)

[echo oasis]

Oh

[haughty cipher]

Mm just like I expected

Your team isn't even fully leveled iirc

[echo oasis]

[limber pecan]

yu has something similar but nobody really does that

[echo oasis]

Oh myb Trag is Level 40, not 50

[formal shadow]

still is true

[limber pecan]

mod ur units before anything

[steady tusk]

thats pretty good, also mod is E2 60 min for 6*

[limber pecan]

mlynar, trag, sa, and exualter all want mod

[echo oasis]

Lemme clear ch 5 first

[haughty cipher]

You don't have ines still?

[echo oasis]

How will I

[haughty cipher]

I forgot thought you bought her back then

[steady tusk]

I feel like if you have mlynar you don't need silverash... is this the shwing whwing team?

[echo oasis]

I literally started after Ines was in shop

[haughty cipher]

Yet your team is leagues better than mine smh

[haughty cipher]

I mean he doesn't really have anything better so

[limber pecan]

that team can prolly beat most of the story content quite easily

[tidal pond]

Whose taunt is stronger between ng summon and mlynar?

[steady tusk]

fair enough, just wondering the idea for 4 people who shwing in a team

[slim tusk]

it's because yu is not trag

[limber pecan]

although you need range bro

[bitter anvil]

prolly the one that is deployed later if both have same taunt level

[echo oasis]

Time to add that 4* liberator in team everyone mentions

Or was it 3*

[limber pecan]

probably not a 3*

[steady tusk]

Windscoot 4*

[feral kraken]

is infinity now where have i heard that before...

[limber pecan]

what are the actual odds of getting top op tag?

[echo oasis]

Is Vigil better than Myrtle or Mountain

[limber pecan]

no.

[near harness]

I dont think you should use Vigil at any given reason

[echo oasis]

I got it twice. Skadi and Magellan.

[split sphinx]

Kick silverash out, melantha in

[echo oasis]

Just want better vanguard

[limber pecan]

do you have cantabile?

[near harness]

who do have atm

[echo oasis]

I would've used if I had

[hard sluice]

Hello friends, this is my current squad and collection. I was working on maxing silver Ash and Blaze but I just got my first top operator tag the other day which resulted in Suzuran. I already have Tragodia who generally can handle my stalling and CC needs tho combining him with another such unit isn't bad either and she makes his cat charge faster. So basically I'm just curious, what do you think I should prioritize currently? Is suzuran worth it given my current composition? https://www.krooster.com/u/tidy-olive-lin-64ib

[limber pecan]

surfer maybe?

[split sphinx]

They're fine on vanguards. Mountain and myrtle can start maps no problem

[echo oasis]

Nah

[split sphinx]

suzuran is low prio. just hold your resources for what you pull on limited banner

[limber pecan]

suzu is mostly used in high difficulty content as a staller, id focus on mods (specifically mlynar)

[hard sluice]

I was thinking similarly honestly, my current team is quite easily able to handle almost any content I have faced given the right support so I was thinking of doing a big save for important units. One of the feature units I'm very interested in is silver Ash alter just because I'm a big fan of silver Ash

[hard sluice]

I'm doing my best right now to get Mlynar mod tbh unfortunately I at like chapter 7 and unless I want to skip to 9:00 and then skip a few more I need to get deep into 11 for his module which as a newer player is a bit frustrating because I wanted to do it chronologically but I've been kind of making my way towards it

[split sphinx]

talking about hoshi2
sash2 isn't really someone you save upgrade resources for since that's still far far away

[limber pecan]

the next big banner might be worth for u to pull on, you dont have a 6* healer atm and hoshi alter is good too

[bright bobcat]

these are the only 4 stars im missing which one should i get?

[hard sluice]

Yeah I know he's quite far away, I actually have not rolled on anything yet I have 120 plus pulls saved. I re-rolled for Tragodia when I started and have just tried to be super efficient about it since then, deciding to only roll on llimited banners if anything. I'm glad I started with the cat man though he's so op

[split sphinx]

oh god please don't say you bought the 4star selector with green certs

[lunar apex]

Your młynar still gonna be fine without module for now
I had to do lemuen mod and its at chap 13

[bright bobcat]

i did yes gonna have to buy it anyways eventually

[limber pecan]

perfumer ig, global regen kinda cool

[hard sluice]

Yeah he's honestly still like one of my best units if not the best even without his module and I only just got him from the shop the other day

[split sphinx]

no you don't green cert resets monthly, that's very inefficient

but since you have one already, get perfumer

[hard sluice]

Actually scratch that TraGOATia will probably be my best unit for the rest of time he has honestly carried me through some challenge events, is stages and other things I should not have been able to pass at my account level

[bright bobcat]

meaning it goes back to the first page every month?

[hard sluice]

Such as literally trivializing the is 6 ending one boss all the way to ending 18

[bright bobcat]

[limber pecan]

its fine though some people buy that far anyways

[bright bobcat]

i had no idea

[split sphinx]

yeah just... don't do it again 🫂

[limber pecan]

just never go to 3rd page fs

[lunar apex]

well people need mats so monthly reset is good

[hard sluice]

I find that given I play quite a lot I'm getting near the end of the second page pretty naturally anyway

[bright bobcat]

okkkkkkkkk that kinda blows tbh i was saving up for that too shouldve asked beforehand

[limber pecan]

same with the yellow certs dont buy the pulls unless you can get all at once

[gentle viper]

hello, if i already make all my 6 stars E2 like this... who should i maximize their skill first?

[sonic geode]

Eh, it's not the world either
Green certs pile up fast enough, you won't miss out on too much by this

[bright bobcat]

kk

[lunar apex]

tragodia and ulpi

[limber pecan]

trag then ulpi

[tiny field]

do we get anything during the anniversary

[limber pecan]

confetti

[gentle viper]

okay

[hard sluice]

Honestly you can't go wrong with Tragodia.

[gentle viper]

okay. thanks y'all

[hard sluice]

His upgrades don't provide the most damage ever but his skill is already so good that even small increments in damage increases are pretty amazing

The catman can honestly carry you through high level content that I'm not sure any other unit could

[robust thistle]

Honestly I wouldnt do tragodia masteries unless youre going for breakpoint

[gentle viper]

so should i try to maximize his skill and mod, or i split maximize his skill with ulpipi?

[tidal pond]

Ng S3 best for res?

[hard sluice]

To be honest Kerf isn't wrong, you don't gain the most from masteries on him as compared to other units that might be better but I don't know enough about it to tell you if you have a better unit to do that with.

[hard sluice]

Pipi might be what's ip

[lunar apex]

tragodia should either have lv 88 mod 2 or lv 82 mod 3
skill mastery is usually 2, 3 is depends on how often you use it
skill 1 is not needed but you could try if you are rich

[hard sluice]

I just used my first is module 3 item thing on him LOL

Orspecialization 3 rather

[gentle viper]

so conclusion... i only get Mr cat to S2M2 with Mod2? and also try to make my Ulpipi S2M3?

[hard sluice]

I did not realize the power of the unit I had rerolled for in Tragodia until I started doing IS tbh. I'm at chapter 7 in the story and nothing has come close to what IS has taught me, people kept saying he was top three and I had no idea why they were saying that. Then I had my first run where the risk redeployment token landed on like every stage and I didn't even understand it but I beat that boss of that integrated strategies with such ease that it blew my mind.

Infinite cat no jutsu was so disgusting that it made me appreciate the regular cat in other maps

[lunar apex]

yeah
but for cat just focus on mod 3 is good enough
mastery is not really needed unless you have enough mats to spare

[formal shadow]

this is assuming you have him s2m3 already iirc. you want to m3 all the skills you generally use anyways

[hard sluice]

I have also found that the cat seems to trivialize these Crystal maps from the current event that just started which is pretty sweet

It blows up large areas of Crystal very easily

[proven kelp]

The point of Mod3 is to allow him to one cycle with cat
If you're not giving him Mastery, then theres no point giving him Mod because he can't one cycle either

[lunar apex]

you can do 1 cycle without mastery

[formal shadow]

there is an increase in nervous applied on m3

[proven kelp]

Is this in IS?

[gentle viper]

I'm asking for all content, and i don't have much operator to use, so i should have one that can carry me through all content

[formal shadow]

jus go for trag upgrades first

[gentle viper]

okay

[hard sluice]

The cat man can carry you through a lot of stuff, the problem is you're going to need a big damage unit still. Silver Ash has filled that niche for me so far quite a bit and the current Mlynar in the store is also an amazing investment in my opinion between the two of them you can get most done with the cat

Basically you cycle their damage cool Downs with the cat and not much can get through that especially on a new account

Once I got Mlynar to go with cat man and panther dude it has pretty much trivialized all stages for me between all their cooldowns

[gentle viper]

i wish i had wisadel so i wouldn't use my brain that much

[hard sluice]

Same, I borrow her on challenge modes just so I don't have to think

[gentle viper]

well, for borrow, i usually only borrow Shu. only borrow Wisadel if run on lower stage

anyway thanks for the advice y'all, gonna hope back to arknights

[hard sluice]

Gl homie

[split sphinx]

btw recommended to hold resources for now, anniversary event has a good banner to pull + free selector (surtr) so you will likely have multiple 6stars to raise

[narrow ibex]

lapland being worse then wisadel yet being easily more brainded:

[hard sluice]

Maybe it's because I'm a scrub who had better units to start with but Lappland it was easily the worst choice from the selectors for me personally that discord suggested. There have been a few slugs stages where she might have been useful if I didn't already have krooster or something to deal with them.

[formal shadow]

they talking bout the alter

[slim tusk]

he is talking about 6* lapp,tho she is a bum

[hard sluice]

O ok

Yeah the five star one has been the only selector ticket I ever felt was not worth it tbh, I have always found other ways to deal with units that could be silenced

[slim tusk]

you pick lappland because she is the least bad option

[hard sluice]

That's honestly fair, outside of Kroos keen five stars have been pretty underwhelming

Actually Grace bearer has been pretty good too. She kind of feels like a melee pine cone if you get e1 skill 7

And of course pine cone has felt pretty great when I'm able to afford her disgusting dp costs

Oh wait pine cone is a four-star and still feels better than both of those other ones whoops

[oblique haven]

Lowk thinking about telling my noob homie to grab ptilopsis from the 5* ticket. Thoughts?

[split sphinx]

you can get both lapp and ptilo

[hard sluice]

Even if it's not the best for all accounts depending on what they roll I would just suggest he follows the discord advice, it has served me super well I have really good progress given my time played because of it. One thing I would tell him is that tequila is a lot more valuable than he seems like at first for a new player who follows the advice on this discord. His damage window is a bit timing dependent and as a result a new player can't quite appreciate his ability to completely wipe things but that MF can carry you

[jade halo]

Should I get mlynar from yellow certificate shop if I already have silverdaddy?

[slim tusk]

he is way better

[oblique haven]

Oh believe me I'm gona tell him to get teq and krooster

[split sphinx]

silverash is mild compared to mlynar

[hard sluice]

I've been using both and honestly I think yes, they combo really well and don't serve super similar niches. Silver Ash for example provides redeployment time which for somebody who values Tragodia cat like me makes his lower damage quite worth it

[oblique haven]

Also good for heli dropping silver and mlynar more frequently

[hard sluice]

Exactly, I've been alternating them and it has been carrying me outside of the catman of course who is my main carry because he's so broken. These three units I genuinely feel like can probably get me through the entire game

[oblique haven]

Really tempted to pull for him but I've been telling myself dmg is overrated cuz everything does damage. Better to pull someone limited or uniquely strong

[slim tusk]

don't pull,buy him

[thorny edge]

pull for mlynar?

[oblique haven]

No certs sadly. I'm kicking myself for it.

[formal shadow]

heh. eyja2 doesn't do damage. checkmate, liuberal.

[slim tusk]

just get is relic

[grand scaffold]

How important is letting Exu2 sap aspd with S2
like does the aspd increase matter much

[thorny edge]

how many certs have u got rn

[formal shadow]

shh

[oblique haven]

80

[hard sluice]

If you're able to buy him I certainly would but if you can't buy him for whatever reason I could not recommend him more honestly. It's not just his silver Ash like damage, his ability to tank certain range because of his taunt is genuinely amazing at times

[thorny edge]

yes it matters a lot

[thorny edge]

how many pulls have u got for the haruka banner

[oblique haven]

Going to have 400 by the time it drops, for haruka, hoshi, and sakiko

[grand scaffold]

Huh
So who do yall let the sap come from
Just defenders or bards?

[frail thunder]

It gives her more ammo, lets her cycle faster and dish out damage quicker, without it enemies may just run out of her range before she ca killl them

[hard sluice]

Like you get the delicious liberator guard tank stats with an almost assurance that they're going to use their damage on him. It makes some stages so easy

[oblique haven]

Mlynar is out of shop when that banner comes round tho, otherwise I'd definately be able to cert him

[frail thunder]

There are some who get unaffected but I just do on anyone really

[pine finch]

let me know if this doesn't belong here, but i'm a bit strapped for pulls after losing everything on the tragodia banner - is it worth to get haruka or should i save up for the ave mujica banner?

[grand scaffold]

I usually just let it be Skalter
Solves the HP decay too

[safe tundra]

remember that the host operator can retreat but exu retains the ASPD so you can technically drop a fast redeploy to leech

[hard sluice]

I'm not the most experienced player in the world but from the pretty deep research I've done you're better off pulling on the haruka one if for no other reason that you kind of want all of the units from the other. If you can save enough that you're pretty sure that you get all of the ave units that might very well be worth because they synergize so well but if not then yeah

[thorny edge]

sapping from anyone is a good idea, she's the best op in the game

[oblique haven]

I usually use mine on either gravel to block, or elysium to get dp

Then I make sure the weakest Frontline unit I have is placed last so she can help them after everything's set up

[soft lion]

What are these lines?

[frail thunder]

Upgraded in skill tree

[pine finch]

thanks! do the ave units buff each other or something similar, or do you mean playstyle wise?

[oblique haven]

They do, but they're not worth using over actually good ops

[hard sluice]

I have not looked fully into it but basically the six star lady is a crazy power creep of thorns and she can extend her range using the other two

[idle finch]

Best boss killer generally in this game? Is it lumuen

[frail thunder]

Ave characters have this mechanic where everyone has a fever bar, and once it’s filled and one activates skill, all of the lesbians use their skills while retaining SP when skill ends

[formal shadow]

wis exu2 logos

[safe tundra]

bunch of option depending on situations

[nimble kite]

May be her.

Also there's Ray and Ebenholtz (with buff squad) exists.

[hard sluice]

So if you get all of the music ladies you can kind of have a thorns Auto hitting the entire damn map with his attacks which is quite good.

[idle finch]

I use s2 for boss killing on Lemuen right? What’s s3 for

[safe tundra]

erm its s3

[nimble kite]

Waveclear mostly. Killing trash.

[slim tusk]

you use s3 to kill the boss and the rest

[nimble kite]

Nah, I refuse, sorry.

[split sphinx]

go for at least 1 6star on hoshi2/haruka banner— the game already gives you free 24 puls

[hard sluice]

Being an extreme efficiency player is hard. I could roll for Haruka in the near future because my healers are five stars but those five stars happen to be Silence and Ptilopsis who I feel are pretty f****** great so is it really worth spending my resources to replace them?

[pine finch]

that's crazy lol thanks for the responses! i do have some good ops but i'll wait closer to see if haruka is good as well, i like bandori and was hoping any of the ops were awesome

[hard sluice]

It's not like I've encountered any content that needs more healing than they can provide yet anyway

[pine finch]

oh? free pulls as in story/reruns or as a limited time event thing?

[frail thunder]

The man thing from ato banner is hoshi alter tho

[safe tundra]

i played contents where eyja explodes even on skill

[split sphinx]

only usable on said banner

[hard sluice]

I would not be unhappy to get her because my current best tank is an e2 gummy but my research has concluded that haruka is the better unit at least

[pine finch]

ohhh i see

[hard sluice]

Yeah I have yet to experience it yet either but apparently during the rare banners they give out some free pulls

[grand scaffold]

Lemuen S2 and S3 are both worth using normally right?

[slim tusk]

s2 has small usecase

[hard sluice]

As a Tragodia cheeser since I started I have had a bit of trouble with IS ending two because the cat does not trivialize it for me like it generally does. Is there a unit I could borrow to beat up that dragon leg and boss?

[frail thunder]

Exu2

[hard sluice]

That is the revive sniper with the high damage yes? I have used her once or twice but not a lot. If she can get me through endingtwo I am quite willing. My Raidian does the rest

[radiant mantle]

They do different things but you'd rather get hoshi over haruka.

[frail thunder]

She’s a specialist but yes
You use her cause she absolutes eats the dragon for breakfast ( on lower difficulties) and makes your radian not get nuked by stomp with s2

[onyx mango]

Do we have a sniper that has ammo mechanic (not Hunter)

[frail thunder]

Ash

Chalter aswell

[limber pecan]

cripled bitch too right? and walter

[pine finch]

exalter is pretty good at shredding hp i believe, she's a must carry for me for IS

[hard sluice]

Really? I suppose for my account you might not be wrong given my lack of a suitable tank but all the research I've done has suggested that Haruka is a much better unit in terms of tier at least. Of course I only have five star healers so that could very well make sense because they're not near the same power level 2 to rarity

[slim tusk]

haruka is overglazed for sure

[frail thunder]

Also typhon and toddifons and wisadel

[hard sluice]

Honestly between Tragodia and borrowing a Wisadel it has pretty much trivialized the IS I have tried I'm not even 2 months in but I'm almost done with is5 rewards which has given me an insane amount of progress given my start time

[limber pecan]

sounds like IS

[split sphinx]

nah

hoshi2 good arts dps > sustain unit

[shadow bay]

but i was told op that can keep ops alive so flawlessly are good ops

[radiant mantle]

Nah, haruka is just a luxury unit for the most part.

[hard sluice]

I'm fully caught up with a s6 rewards, that releasing is what taught me how good IS for progression

[bitter anvil]

it depends on specific IS too, in IS6 exia will give you far more value than wisadel

[proven kelp]

Since i rather not delete friends with Trag as support to allow me to borrow a sl7 one, i will just calc it

A max Trag has 572 atk, 20% ( Sl7 ) of it is 114, The cat hits 12 times ( every 0.5 sec for 6 sec ), so 114x12 which is 1,372
Module gives it a 18% extra for a total of 1,619 Elemental Injury
A Boss needs 2k to proc
I'm not really the math guy so i'm not sure if game rounds up or down, either way the difference is really too big that even if im off by a few numbers, i really doubt that he can proc it at sl7 on vanilla game

Like he technically proc it without mastery, but not on Boss
The whole point of people recommending to Mod2/3 Lvl 88/82 him is because its the minimum amount of stats needed to proc it on one cycle a boss, why bother recommending him to mod3 if you're not going to recommend M3 either, both are needed for the whole point of doing Mod3 in the first place

I'm guessing you're only borrowing him on IS? Cuz skill tree there gives Atk buff so he can proc it alone

[limber pecan]

i would not call haruka just a luxury unit compared to any 5 star healer...

[bitter anvil]

maybe he has some buff like guardmiya or mon3tr attack buff or skal, there are many

[split sphinx]

yeah 5star medics are piss compared to haruka

[hard sluice]

The discord guides advise a lot of things but they don't tell you how insane your progression can be if you're willing to cheese IS. You can genuinely e2multiple units in less than a week as a new account if you're willing to borrow the right units.

[radiant mantle]

They do though

[shadow bay]

see this... i told you eyjaberry ur an essential unit when ur released 🥹

[proven kelp]

perhaps

[hard sluice]

Can you point that out to me? I followed them as much as I could because I'm a very high efficiency type player and I had to discover such thing myself

[pine finch]

yeah, tbf wisadel makes lots of maps very very easy to perfect clear

[split sphinx]

I do, but it's not on guides cause burn out/touching grass is a thing

[hard sluice]

I feel that, there are definitely players who will burn out from such levels of progression but a degenerate such as myself benefits so much from the advice the guides don't include because they don't want to overwhelm others

Again though I did start with Tragodia who has tainted my entire perception of the game because if you every level as having the cat

[cyan vault]

Chat when is going to be my next chance to get a wisadel of my own?

[bitter anvil]

They do guide u to both IS and RA, RA takes the least time and gives same rewards as 1 IS

[shadow bay]

3-4 months from now

[hard sluice]

Does ra really take less? I have a lot of fun with is which is why I have progressed so far so early but the first few tutorial levels of RA at least made it seem really s*** and not cool. I'm not saying it doesn't have potential, I'm just saying that compared to other game modes the introduction and provided me was not good. Should I be going hard on that?

[split sphinx]

if you missed exu2 as well, better wait for celeb banner (after cny limited) where both exu2 and wis are offratex5

[frail thunder]

Why does every message you send have to be a whole paragraph

[safe tundra]

is rerolling an offrate even viable

[bitter anvil]

I think 6~7 hours total, I did share glowstick strat with you

[shadow bay]

viable but not recommended

[hard sluice]

Did you? S*** I may have missed that let me check it out

[split sphinx]

yes. RA takes couple hours setup then you speedrun all the rewards in about an hour

much faster than doing 30 runs about an hour each to complete IS

[limber pecan]

if you just started its possible... at that point the on banner character might be better

[bitter anvil]

shows their passion for ak maybe

[proper lichen]

What is haruka main skill

[red oasis]

S2

[cyan vault]

i thought limited were available on anniversaries like the ones comming up

[split sphinx]

PhD in Yappology

[safe tundra]

ofc its possible but the effort required is just nigh more insensible compared to getting both the rate up

[hard sluice]

All right so from what I understand RA requires some setup but then becomes relatively easy rewards. That sounds pretty good, when I'm not drunk as s*** tomorrow I'm going to try and set that up. Thanks guys

[proven kelp]

There are different types of Limited, each has their own pools

[split sphinx]

no. check pins for the limited pools

[bitter anvil]

the setup can be done by a day 1 player, u have been playing for 2 weeks u got this

[hard sluice]

Actually I've been playing since 11/22 but yeah I should be fine.

[split sphinx]

the most annoying part of glowstick farm is getting to your first quarry node

[hard sluice]

I just have not touched ra because God damn I ain't going to lie this game is so much. Then this new is 6 came out and I had not even tried the other ones really but I jumped into this one and holy s*** it was so fun

[proven kelp]

You don't really need it for Glowstick

Just manually farm the Trees

[split sphinx]

you need it to upgrade the base so you can craft glowsticks no

[hard sluice]

Then I jumped into is5 because I heard tin Man can heal raidian summons and now I'm like level 115 on is 5 because it's so easy to cheese LOL

[proven kelp]

You can grind Rocks from other source

[hard sluice]

My tin Man is maxed and I realize he's not even that good

His skin is so f****** good though I'm going to use him until I get a unit that really truly out classes him a lot

[split sphinx]

healing summons is so ass just replace them

[hard sluice]

As someone who had only played a month or two before I unlocked the extremely busted temporary Raidian replacing her seemed impossible

[shadow bay]

no way healing summons still sought after in 2026

[cyan vault]

its lowkey hard to believe that the best stage to farm rocks is at chapter 1

[random kestrel]

alchemist huh
well the 6* version arent that tempting either

[split sphinx]

replace the summons not raidian

[tiny field]

what are they used for?

[hard sluice]

My preferred summons for her are the ranged ones which I can make use of it and the majority of stages assuming I have one melee blocker or maybe two

[cyan vault]

dont know everyone just tells me to farm rocks

[hard sluice]

But if you're unlucky and have no melee blockers sometimes it's all about the gun fish

[split sphinx]

rocks make the world go round

[slim tusk]

operator loves eating rock for upgrade

[hard sluice]

I did not understand the rock farming thing either at first but I have spent a lot of my extra sanity on rocks and while also making pretty decent progress have noticed those m************ disappearing at an absurd rate

[formal shadow]

why censor "mat"

[cyan vault]

i just do it cuz i want reach 999 rocks
its a number go up me feel good things now

[random kestrel]

there is a thing called planner
by using that you know what to farm and so on
tldr; planner make your progress far more effectively

[hard sluice]

I tried to plan a bit, like one or two operators ahead.

Though right now honestly the only one that interests me is silver ash alter. I am a bit of a dude nights player

[split sphinx]

do it like this don't ✅ the lower prio tier until you complete the highest prio tier

[random kestrel]

no worry
play at your own pace

[hard sluice]

I assume you are providing the rawest available rarity of roles in the priority as a result? That is fair and I honestly might follow that

[bitter anvil]

Hoshi is the best banner in the next 6 months for sure

[hard sluice]

Is the Hoshi one really that good? People say she is the best casual healer in regards to Haruka but is hoshi2 amazing? I mainly ask as somebody who has saved up a lot of rolls so could probably get both but wants to make sure it is quite worth it

I'm not going to lie my gummy be taking s*** pretty easily most of the time LOL

[split sphinx]

hoshi2 is a really good dps. not much to explain here
she also got team protection niche

[bitter anvil]

hoshi 2 is really good, immortality, good damage, multi target, afk

she is gonna make IS6 so much better to play for you, haruka as well. If you do exia borrow she pairs well with her s3

[split sphinx]

why are you comparing her to gummy

[bitter anvil]

if gummy is a 1, hoshi is a 9

that's the difference, gummy can only heal and block smth that doesn't 1/2 hit her

[ancient current]

I don't think gummy does 230k damage

[hard sluice]

I do need a good DPS outside of the biggest swing boys, I have silver Ash and Mlynar who carry me quite a bit but if Hoshitoo provides damaging away those two can't I would definitely like that

Outside of the swing boys I just rely on Mr tauntcat to carry me

[bitter anvil]

Hoshi has 270k arts dmg iirc(?) idk the exact number but very good

[ancient current]

it was 230 afaik

[split sphinx]

hoshi is also a really good blocker because of defender stats

[shadow bay]

she doesn't??? :surprised:

[ancient current]

she does
over the course of a year

[bitter anvil]

Supah made it sound like gummy can one shot izumik

[hard sluice]

I won't lie I might need a decent blocker, I think if I were to e2 my Blaze she might feel that role though

[split sphinx]

blaze damage sucks

[bitter anvil]

Blaze mid

[shadow bay]

then raise cuora

[hard sluice]

Yeah that's why I got my gummy to e2 and stuff is because of that YouTuber and his gummy meme it did not take me until sometime afterwards to realize it was a meme

I genuinely wasted early resources because of that LOL

[bitter anvil]

gummy is gon be super useful in IS coz of hope so its fine u invested

[hard sluice]

She actually has been genuinely very useful and I asked for me and got me to like 115 is 5 so I would not say to not invest in her

But I would say in 99% of situations E1 Max gummy is fine

[shadow bay]

gummy saving grace in IS is hope cost

most likely people would still use spot if it doesn't been a thing in is5 above

[bitter anvil]

yeah but idt spot could block wang or yi so like still be a cheap defender option compared to saria costing 10

[ancient current]

saria doesnt tank yi either

[split sphinx]

is yi the ed1 boss

[hard sluice]

I hope I get saria some point my current equivalent is genuinely just gummy but God damn she seems so nice

[shadow bay]

w8 ur blocking yi with guardians???

[ancient current]

w8 you're blocking yi with operators????

[split sphinx]

gummy explodes to the flying things tho

[hard sluice]

Maybe if I'm lucky my next top operator tag will have Saria

[slate ridge]

does Luto block Yi

[split sphinx]

just pickup gravel, then keep shoving Yi back into red box

[bitter anvil]

if u take him to lefy side gummy can block him

[shadow bay]

yeh thats on me not drafting raidian lately for her bodies for ed1 🥹

[ancient current]

what changes exactly
her talent doesnt offset yuang explosion dmg, the healing procs before but she'll get one shot at full hp anyway
(was yuang arts or phys i forgot)

[bitter anvil]

that's a strat legit

[hard sluice]

I have gravel at a pretty high level but given my Tragodia most of the time I'd rather just throw down a cat TBH

[bitter anvil]

if u bring yi to left and block with gummy u actually also have very good space for leizi s3 to burst the damn out of him

but if you have raidian u don't need to that stuff

[verbal tangle]

U get the amount of event currency at the same amount as the sanity u spend right

[red oasis]

yep

[verbal tangle]

Tysm

[hard sluice]

I'm not sure if there is an easier cheese in the game to progress in new account than Tragodia and Raidian. Maybe the ingotlamp strategy in is5 but you have to play for a while to unlock that

[red oasis]

180k
its like 220k with module

[frosty yacht]

Is there still away to get wis?? Since she's limited she won't be getting any rerun

[split sphinx]

hoshi2 hit air right?

[ancient current]

it was 230k with mod last I heard

[bitter anvil]

wisadel is cheesier than tragodia but its more or less similar

there have been cheeses like this at many points in the game, like Ling

[red oasis]

ya
close enough

[shadow bay]

yes

3-4 months she will be an offrate

either u be lucky, or prepare 300 pulls to spark her

[ancient current]

on silverash alt as siderate
but dont count on it and dont spark

[red oasis]

yes

[hard sluice]

Wisadel has been a pretty excellent cheese strategy for me outside of is 6 where I think they may have tried to make her less viable at least early because I've seen a few other units shine far above her in that mode compared to the others

[bitter anvil]

yeah IS6 has exia as the most broken non raidian unit

[hard sluice]

But yeah in basically every integrated strategies otherwise she is kind of the goat

[ancient current]

btw if i wanna do sth like is6 ed2 and don't have trag/exu/leizi, who'd be better to borrow

[bitter anvil]

exia, barrier is broken, can cheese ed2 with exia

[ancient current]

exu it is then thx

[bitter anvil]

trag doesn't do anything for ed2 besides maybe helping otw, and leizi ig if u don't have smth for hitcount

but entel/ascalon/angelina work

[shadow bay]

and then proceed to use yato and get redeployment relics and coins

[ancient current]

i do have all the last 3 so im good ig

[ancient current]

I dont have yato lol

[bitter anvil]

rmb to keep boss above 50% hp until 54/55 enemy count btw, unless ur prepared

[verbal tangle]

Is there like a calendar on who's the next banner or something

[ancient current]

who? yes
when? no

arknights.wiki.gg

[hard sluice]

I don't have any of those but if I were to request a specific support unit to beat Ed2 what do you think?

[ancient current]

did ice not literally give the answer

[hard sluice]

Wait did he? Hold up I'll read above I'm pretty drunk

[ancient current]

the answer is exu

[bitter anvil]

exia lol, no better borrow than her for ed2,3,4

for ending 1 ig trag is a better borrow ig but when u have raidian to infinitely keep boss in red box you can yake exia anyway

since exia's dps is so good for bosky fights, and the barrier makes her very hard to die

[split sphinx]

what's the optimal starting units with exu2

[hard sluice]

Oh fair enough, I have not used exu2 basically it all because catman has carried me so much but I've certainly seen how strong she can be from advice and guides, I'll try borrowing her next. Thank you

[bitter anvil]

exia/roberta/myrtle

[split sphinx]

very interesting
I assume myrtle heals exu2

[verbal tangle]

How do I properly use exu2 S3, I mean I'm kinda dum to know when to use it

[elder ermine]

you switch to S2

[bitter anvil]

she doesn't, she is just there for dp I guess

coz both spec options have vg voucher and what else can you bring for vanguard, maybe beanstalk

[split sphinx]

oh..

[ancient current]

snegurochka-

[bitter anvil]

you don't, just use s2

s3 has usage after hoshi but you will still have times where you might wanna use s2 anyway

[slim tusk]

exu s3 is only when you want to play with the redeploy

you can play it like to redeploy ela for her mines and stuff

[bitter anvil]

if Yu S2 had IS6 usage ig we could see him with exia s3 too but it doesn't

Hoshi dies after S3 so that's a combo which you might wanna try

[verbal tangle]

So it's really good to pull for her (considering many ppl say she's a must pull or something)

[bitter anvil]

Hoshi? Yes

[jagged pollen]

Deciding on which account to choose. Ulpianus or Leiza. Who would you prefer? Both accounts have tragodia

[bitter anvil]

leizi

[slim tusk]

leizi easy

[odd sky]

lazy

[robust thistle]

smells very green

[pine plover]

Reizu

[slim tusk]

stop sniffing

[oblique haven]

What u thinking with this?

[granite trout]

how do u add a whole medal set with it theme like this into your profile

[odd sky]

go to your profile
