help

[urban sleet]

Context?

[cinder hearth]

All of them, for now. Kernel is all old operators-you don't want them.

[neat acorn]

Should I change or focus on upgrading any character

[gray mulch]

Yan is china basically. It can be a bit confusing since there is also hongkong

[urban sleet]

What else do you have

[empty flint]

okok tyyy

[neat acorn]

Let me make a kroos account

[jolly ingot]

Don't pull on kernel banners

[lament loom]

Upgraded Special Squad gives you free Raidian so having Raidian + Tragodia (global s2, cheesing ED1 boss) is such a nice lineup.

[soft lion]

🫲 🫱 we deal. I'll just use the picture to make sure.

[lament loom]

I might try Humus as a replacement to Windscoot, I think hes also Yanese. Gonna find a list of Yanese Ops. I know Exu Alter is one. Wisadel probably not.

[humble nova]

Wait dont IS give us a free raidian

[cinder hearth]

Humus is RI/Columbia

[lament loom]

"Upgraded" Special Squad (gives 5 reserve Ops)

[bold kernel]

I saw that Wis is going to be in the Silverash banner, but will she also be able to be purchased with the banner currency from pulling characters? And if she will be, how many pulls would I need to secure her?

[lament loom]

Oh dang, aight then

[urban sleet]

Yes and 300

[cinder hearth]

300 pulls for a wis spark, extremely low offrate chance. Don't do that.

[humble nova]

I hope i get texasalter offrate chance instead

[bold kernel]

300 yikes, but I want the funny gun girl

[clever plover]

wrong damn server holy

[urban sleet]

[humble nova]

Is this another end field victim

[clever plover]

i keep misclicking servers lmao

[humble nova]

Your bio is fucking diabolical but yur

[urban sleet]

It will always be 300 (until she becomws 6 yrs or sk old) also sparking never recommended for f2p unless waifu/husbando reasons

[clever plover]

i get that a lot

[humble nova]

It can turn to 200 as time passes iirc like 2-4 yrs

[gray mulch]

Nah some are 200

[urban sleet]

The edit the years could be wrong

[bold kernel]

Guess I'll just skip if it's really that unlikely. I don't think I can secure 300 pulls by then anyway. Any other goated ranged units coming up that I could save for? My rangers are lacking

[gray mulch]

Tbf if you're casual then sparking wis is fine since she practically solo's casual content

[split sphinx]

chalter used to be broken
she got to 200 spark this time and you can see the state she at

[humble nova]

Or shitty lucky

[split sphinx]

waiting for wis 200 spark

[humble nova]

Her new mod makes her still viable in high end content from what I can see

[gray mulch]

Game was very different when chalter was released though

[formal shadow]

[urban sleet]

Pram alter who's rate up in salter banner

Or sakiko from ave mujica asw, she does deal ranged attacks

[sand folio]

Do we have bosses? So far I've seen some stronger mobs but nothing I could call a boss itself

[split sphinx]

yeah that's the point. hella powercreep happens in 4 years

[humble nova]

If ur beginner u can easily accumulate 300 pulls in 2-3 months, as a f2p like me (i wasted 100 on kernel and 250 on hoshi2 banner tho UvU)

[bold kernel]

Noted, ty for the info

[bold kernel]

Ehhhh I started right before the hoshi banner and pulled until I got her and Haruka, so I'm broke rn lmao

[humble nova]

Oofa

[untold nest]

I've been playing for a month now and I did almost 100+ and still have 40 left

[bold kernel]

But yeah I can just grind the 3* clears on story mode, I'm only on chapter 6

[patent heron]

On the same topic
Would it be a good idea to go to 300 on sa2 banner if i want literally everything on and off banner

[gray mulch]

Eh I don't think arknights is a game that reliably powercreeps itself every year though. Only chalter and walter releases "broke" the game.

[prime gazelle]

which module is best for saria?

[humble nova]

Personally i’d wait for silverash alter banner cuz the offrate chance can be likely, but the featured chars of pram alter and silver alter are rlly good.

You get 20 free pulls on sakiko tho in the upcoming collab banner this month in a few days, 120 pulls is guaranteed fyi.

[urban sleet]

300 is always a no from optimal pov for f2p
But these are the dreams of a 💳 user so in that context salter do be a good banner to do that

[gray mulch]

Compared to other gacha powercreep is slower. And there are more utility/design power creeps than straight up better stats

[humble nova]

If i was a beginner with 300 pulls, i’d go all in on that banner for those offrates and the featured characters PERSONALLY

[bold kernel]

I do not care for the silly band members, but I do like free pulls

mmmm gambling

[untold nest]

This is like my plan imma just pull for sakiko then save all of my pulls for silverash alter, unless there's some banner I really like

[split sphinx]

wis going to 200 takes way longer than just a year. I just don't expect her to be that relevant by then, and that's okay

[bold kernel]

oh yeah on the topic of funny gun girls, is exu alter getting a rerun anytime that we know of

[cinder hearth]

That's a limited op. No.

[patent heron]

I kinda am a beginner with 300 pulls and a huge boner for silverash
(I also want to spark virtuosa)

[bold kernel]

Punished for starting the game too late, damn

[cinder hearth]

In about 9 months she will show up for spark and offrate.

[urban sleet]

She will be off-rate limited on limited banners, 2.5% rate and 300 to spark and all

[bold kernel]

gotcha

[urban sleet]

Wait not every limited

[lethal chasm]

Wait is sash alt more important to pull over pram?

[humble nova]

Dont spark virtuosa, but ill pray u pull her offrate instead.

But totally go for it 🔥

Also yall MANTRA IS AN OPTION if u like OLD HAGS like me! 😤

[cinder hearth]

.

[gray mulch]

They're the same rate and you get a free one at 300 anyways so doesn't matter to "prio"

[severe crypt]

Yea bro deserves 6 offrate hools

[bold kernel]

preach

[lethal chasm]

Ah okay. I'm just trying to figure out who to save for because I can guarantee Sakiko but then it would be hard to save for sash alt and pram haha

[prime gazelle]

which module is best for saria and exusiai?

[patent heron]

She is going to be in offrate with walter and lapp2, none of which i have, so we hopium

[urban sleet]

You have enough time, everyone's in the same boat

[humble nova]

Hopium 🤞

[lethal chasm]

I mean idk if it would be possible to save 300 pulls from now until the sash alt banner

[split sphinx]

you don't need 300 gng

[severe crypt]

You can only expect around 150

[urban sleet]

No need for 300, f2p can't save 300 in 3 months considering normal playthrough

[abstract mauve]

wtf hag lover?

[humble nova]

If u have good units, and commit to the grind, u can reach 300 pulls if not 200 at the least

[humble nova]

Is that a problem

[lethal chasm]

That's what I thought about Hoshiguma and I pull her at 290th pull so yes I do need 300 haha

[young glacier]

The closer the deadline the bigger "Actually one could save this much" gets

[humble nova]

Wtfaaah

[lethal chasm]

Exactly so I always prepare for worse case scenario

[gray mulch]

I've hit 300 without pulling one of the two before

[abstract mauve]

i pray for your bro. one day there will be a meta hag and you will be the happiest man

[humble nova]

I’ll tell u this, it is very unlikely to be in that scenario, but i guess ur one of the few crumbles in the dust

Hell fucking yah

[cinder hearth]

I'd like you lot to remember these are old offrate odds, and with new limiteds in the pool it's only gone down since then.
Specifically, for the celebration banner, the right side one is relevant.

[lethal chasm]

I was extremely lucky with exu 2 and trag getting them only in 40 pulls but there's always that once that screws you over everything

[urban sleet]

Unless you swipe card you won't reach 300 pulls in the time left

F2p option would be to grind the hell out of uncleared stages/annihilation

[humble nova]

You hit the mine well, but damn that anniversary hitted u harder lol

[cinder hearth]

Some people seem to think offrate odds are fairly high, so this is a reminder.

[lethal chasm]

It really did 😭 but it's okay I'm not upset about it anymore. Just hoping I'm blessed by the yostar gods for a quick pull on sakiko and sash alt

[humble nova]

As someone whos got 4 offrates and 7 dupes of hoshi2, yes yes I believe

[gray mulch]

You got pretty good 6 star rates at least

[cinder hearth]

Anecdotal evidence means jack.
Rate-up chances are perfectly fine, this is explicitly for offrates, namely the limited ones.

[humble nova]

Im glad i got chenalter and eyja (got haruka at the end) but the rest are meh

[gray mulch]

You got the good ones lol

[humble nova]

Oh right i completely mistook the three below the featured ones as offrates but ur right

[prime gazelle]

what module should i get for saria and exu

[sour tide]

is this build good?

[urban sleet]

Exu as in exu alter or og exu?

[lyric lagoon]

carnival has the short end of the stick for limited pools

[cinder hearth]

Wrong server. Endfield has a separate discord.

[lyric lagoon]

wrong server/channel

[formal shadow]

🚮

[gray mulch]

Exu2 only has 1 mod

[urban sleet]

[cerulean umbra]

When is the is6 expansion dropping

[formal shadow]

normal exu has 0 mods that are worth it :ya:

[vital kelp]

later

[patent heron]

1st of every month
We just got an expansion
Or u mean ending?

[urban sleet]

Normal exu is irrelevant indeed
Gone are the days of warf buff apple pie shenanigans

[prime gazelle]

normal exu

[cerulean umbra]

I mean changes to the gameplay like new squads and stuff

[opal depot]

thanks!

[urban sleet]

Ig you have been reading what we said about normal exu

[prime gazelle]

ill take that as a no

[gray mulch]

Modx so you can buff myrtle better

[shadow bay]

nop u want another mod, so u can also buff ely

[urban sleet]

Btw they asked for saria mod recommendation as well

[patent heron]

People started posting ending 4 clears on cn 3.5 months ago so gotta wait another 2-3 i guess

[prime gazelle]

[gray mulch]

Saria modx better for healing, y better for tanking

[prime gazelle]

someone told me to get exus module y

[gray mulch]

That is the better mod for warf shenanigans yeah

[prime gazelle]

so either works?

[prime gazelle]

shenanigans it is

[boreal steeple]

Saria modY lvl1 for selfsustain, modX lvl 2 or 3 if you have a strat that really needs saria's niche of healing s3.
Exu modY to at least have some dmg against ~700 def enemies(you ain't doing that just for that lmao)

[gray mulch]

Nowadays she's used for s3 so she's a healer/debuffer, but if she's your best tank then y better

[prime gazelle]

ok

[signal gale]

Yeah, What's this?

[gray mulch]

Only worth if you really love exu

[shadow bay]

recruitment permit, use to recruit operators

[prime gazelle]

does it actually make much of a difference in damage?

[gray mulch]

If you're trying to make exu work she prob needs it lol

[urban sleet]

Ig you would have to add shamare debuff asw to make her atleast usable in the current ecosystem

[prime gazelle]

i see thx everyone

[gray mulch]

The sane thing to do is not try to make her work

[boreal steeple]

1. Recruit permits let you recruit operators varying the rarity
2. It's your originite prime as value can be max orundum convert

[vital kelp]

are there any pulls included in is6 rewards

[patent heron]

no

[boreal steeple]

Nah

[abstract mauve]

no that was never a thing for IS

[vital kelp]

Fa

[prime gazelle]

tbh idk much about many modules but i feel like i should still try and get some of them as ive got like less than 10

[urban sleet]

Get them for relevant ops

[prime gazelle]

all these years ive been playing i rarely went for modules

[patent heron]

You really shouldn't rush with them because module blocks are a bitch to get
Make sure they are worth the blocks you spending

[prime gazelle]

so whoever i actually use or is meta basically

[gray mulch]

Realistically, how often are you using exusiai to kill things with defense?

[eternal pawn]

Guys, should I go for texas s1m3 or s2m3?
You can say both btw.

[abstract mauve]

did you send your roster before so we can see what you might wanna look into?

[boreal steeple]

Recl.Alg has plenty of it for starters

[vital kelp]

none

[urban sleet]

Texas as in vanguard texas?

[exotic wyvern]

i cant scan to reveal it for some reason?

[vital kelp]

go nextdoors

[prime gazelle]

nah but i kinda plan to get modules for loads of ops coz why not

[formal shadow]

🥀

[eternal pawn]

Damn, why?
Texas has -4 dp module, and she also gives 2 dp at the start of the match.

[urban sleet]

Wrong apartment

[gray mulch]

Other ops you have might get new mods in the future

[boreal steeple]

S1 mastery is useless, s2 mastery doesn't change almost anything

[vital kelp]

shes still bad

[exotic wyvern]

yeah i just notice LOL

[eternal pawn]

I see

[prime gazelle]

true

[lyric lagoon]

texas shill in this day and age

[abstract mauve]

we dont really know what units to recommend mods for then cuz we dont know what you have. if you've been playing for a while, you can definitely skip getting marksman exu's mod

[prime gazelle]

i see

[lyric lagoon]

send a krooster if you want specifics

[north anvil]

which one of these should I e2 first? well except Lemuen lmao

[gray mulch]

As someone with modded exu I literally never use her

[lyric lagoon]

is none an option

[north anvil]

no

[prime gazelle]

i will prob use her once a year when i look up kyos guide

[coarse notch]

give lemuen her mod2 first, then send the rest of your roster

[boreal steeple]

As sm1 also with modded exu i just use her for hitcount, swarms or just making funny overbuffing to make her work

[gray mulch]

Even kyo doesn't use her anymore lol

[prime gazelle]

damn so exus fallen off

[coarse notch]

he actually used her for his afk guide for the current anni
but you can slot any sniper under the sun in her role

[abstract mauve]

years ago yeah

[urban sleet]

You basically use exu because you want to use her and not because she's optimal

[boreal steeple]

I remember only 3 guides using exu

[gray mulch]

Brother she fell into another dimension

[ancient lotus]

yep day 1 operator fell off that's pretty surprising

[gray mulch]

Nah the other old og (saria, silverash, eyja) are still sometimes used. Exu is the only one that's a cold corpse

[urban sleet]

Then there's surtr

[prime gazelle]

nah he uses her quite a bit for afk guides but hes used her less recently maybe

[coarse notch]

surtr is year 2

[north anvil]

Here is my current roster so far

[urban sleet]

mb

[vital kelp]

what era are we in

[coarse notch]

you really do not need to raise any of them
if you insist then qb

[urban sleet]

Another og exu e2

[boreal steeple]

Less recently yes bcz def of the enemies is crazy

[pale tapir]

exia just got mogged by the existence of enemies with moderately high def

[severe crypt]

And her alter

[vital kelp]

if u remove "ly high" it would still be true

[prime gazelle]

also if i have a logos module is there even a point to go for exus module?

[lyric lagoon]

and literally every other high dph/dps phys operator

[boreal steeple]

Her alter can do dmg against any enemy just put warfarin

[shadow bay]

i dont see the correlation

[coarse notch]

completely unrelated

[north anvil]

Would Unc Sankta be good for my lemon?

[coarse notch]

no

[pale tapir]

what would grandpa do for her

[gray mulch]

The reason you don't get exu module is just because she's not good, it doesn't have to do with other ops being better she is bad by herself in a vacuum

[north anvil]

Ammo

[lyric lagoon]

unless you’re playing ammoknights, you don’t need to raise him at all

[prime gazelle]

i mean can i just use logos instead of exu for an afk run or smth like that

[gray mulch]

Sure

[lyric lagoon]

her skill cycle isn’t that long, she’s not benefitting from 2 extra ammo

[pale tapir]

I'd rather run jessicat and have a useful sentinel even if playing ammoknights

[boreal steeple]

Logos doesn't have a 30 second window of doing no dmg tho

[shadow bay]

people who dont x2:

[north anvil]

Ohh alright alright noted

[prime gazelle]

also do ppl still use ash?

[shadow bay]

nop

[limber pecan]

how do i use ulpenis

[shadow bay]

if u want marksman that have stuns use krooster

[lethal chasm]

Wait is it common for people to have to spark or am I just unlucky haha

[urban sleet]

The latter

[lyric lagoon]

s2 -> plop him down and he kill
s3 -> use skill to get closer so he can beat people up

[gray mulch]

Step 1) get sp on deploy relic
Step 2) spam s3 because it's funny

[boreal steeple]

Mlynar is better in most of cases. With module existence it got even a boss killer

[signal gale]

So, Kinda Dumb, How do I complete this?

[vital kelp]

use drill plan

[pale tapir]

practice a stage

[urban sleet]

Practice mode

[shadow bay]

ash..... the r6 operator

[boreal steeple]

How

[prime gazelle]

ive sparked once in like the 5 or 6 years i been playing all the other times i spark is just to waste the pull currency or whats it called

[patent heron]

People here shit on gramps, but ammo refill and marking on a ground tile can be pretty cool things to have

• he's chonky, i asssume you don't have too many defenders raised

[ionic fractal]

Practice

[vital kelp]

practice a stage

[boreal steeple]

Oh. Ash is tr__ash__

[prime gazelle]

yhh i just got his module

[gray mulch]

I've only hit 300 without banner char once

[coarse notch]

they have hoshi and gummy e2
presumably they have cuora too

[pale tapir]

we're not shitting on him, just saying he won't do anything worth the investment for hotwheels

[shadow bay]

oh no.... am i missing out when i dont have miksa raised???

[prime gazelle]

u could even say she put the ash in trash

[boreal steeple]

No i was just trolling the description since drill plans got removed

[north anvil]

Yes I have a Coura too replaced by Hoshi

[shadow bay]

marking... do he mean wanted list coz of lemuen talent?

[oblique cypress]

hi gang

[pale tapir]

plume found dead in a ditch

[abstract mauve]

hello maxx

[gray mulch]

Was plume ever alive

[severe crypt]

Hey at least lemu was able to mark the boss before then 🥹

[shadow bay]

add and u can open the chat how kotkai would do

[oblique cypress]

hi chat

[urban sleet]

If it wasn't for her popping up in recruitment I would have forgotten about plume

[boreal steeple]

Just why. You can get another laterano unit to mark instead of placing grandpa to the incursion point or too far away from it

[prime gazelle]

i just started going for sarias module and she aint even on the team

great start

[shadow bay]

im asking if thats the case

coz ill just bring a better unit like exalter if thats the goal...

[north anvil]

I usually just use Exusiai to mark for lemon but I was thinking make Unc could also do that for me cuz he is a tank thats why I was asking

[patent heron]

He's being very useful for me on a very regular basis :c
And he made clearing h15-4 possible for me if that counts for anything

[boreal steeple]

Exu doesn't trigger talent tho

[random mountain]

Confirmation bias doesnt count anything

[prime gazelle]

i will go for exu alter when when i run out of operators to go for

[pale tapir]

sure yeah the point was just that he's pretty dang expensive if all you're gonna do is use him as a lemon talent activator and markerbot

[north anvil]

For marking it does

[prime gazelle]

ive got 300 module blocks

[shadow bay]

no way bro is rich

[prime gazelle]

im joking

[gray mulch]

300 mod blocks but you don't have anyone else on your roster worth mod more than exu1

[shadow bay]

🚮

[prime gazelle]

i have 299

[pale tapir]

how do u think he got 300 modblocks

[abstract mauve]

huh

[prime gazelle]

ive never modded

[patent heron]

He's also a bretty chonky brick
Like, on an account with very few units and with lemuen i think he pulls good weight

[pale tapir]

thanks for dissecting the frog

[prime gazelle]

i wasnt sure who to mod lol

[ancient lotus]

we can start with the ones you're using

[prime gazelle]

i wanna mod everyone 💀

[boreal steeple]

Mod everyone atp /hj

[pale tapir]

the intimidating bean:

[prime gazelle]

who should i start with i got like 350 ops

[patent heron]

No bean

[pale tapir]

the intimidating bean:

[shadow bay]

so are we actually selling miksa being a brick and a wanted applier to be build???

[abstract mauve]

[boreal steeple]

Idk i only have 110

[prime gazelle]

[shadow bay]

[gray mulch]

[formal shadow]

how about not getting the mod back in 2023

[prime gazelle]

oh yh i got 26k lmd btw 😩

[boreal steeple]

Not playing during 2023

[gray mulch]

How about mod6 saria smh my head

[formal shadow]

also saria mody released in 2023

[urban sleet]

Is your base fine

[shadow bay]

~~shhh dont need specifics u get the joke okay ~~

[prime gazelle]

it should be i hope

[urban sleet]

"Hope"

[pale tapir]

watch it be 243 with lv3 RR and lv2 office

[formal shadow]

should've just had that CN vision :clueless:

[boreal steeple]

You can show your 3day earnings

[south fog]

Guys what is the exact number of green tokens to get the 3 phase of the shoop 🤔

[prime gazelle]

ill show my base and u lot can judge

[gray mulch]

Prob max right

[patent heron]

I'm arguing that he's not a waste of mats on a new account with lemuen
Obviously wouldn't try to sell it to someone with a full roster of better defenders

[boreal steeple]

We will

[urban sleet]

We got permission to judge we'll take that gladly

[patent heron]

Damn the spinning bean is cute

[pale tapir]

IT'S WORSE

[boreal steeple]

Full drones ahhh my eyes

[prime gazelle]

yhh i never use drones

[abstract mauve]

I called it on 243 omg

[gray mulch]

#r-i-i-c pins

that's like betting that tomorrow the sun will rise from the east

[urban sleet]

Fuck mods fix your base

[prime gazelle]

whats wrong with my base

[random mountain]

Which one

[pale tapir]

wait post your RIIC report for past 3 days

[random shard]

Not using drones for one

[abstract mauve]

show your 3 day RIIC earnings ye

[prime gazelle]

ive had this layout since idk when

[gray mulch]

What's the point we know it'll be shit

[prime gazelle]

wtf is that

[lethal chasm]

How many people here have had to spark in order to get a character because I just had my first time and I don't want to have to run into this again

[pale tapir]

I just wanna know how bad

[random mountain]

More than 5

[gray mulch]

Me on shu banner

[prime gazelle]

ive only sparked once i prob wouldve sparked mroe times if i had the pulls

[abstract mauve]

you go to the control center. tap on the base assistant button. top right there is an arrow. just press it

[prime gazelle]

yhh ive never seen ts in my life

[oblique cypress]

30lmd

close enough of a guess

[pale tapir]

wow 50% of a 252 that's crazy

[prime gazelle]

does this mean im cooked

[gray mulch]

You know what, could be worse. You need better TP workers though and drone TP

[prime gazelle]

tp?

[boreal steeple]

Oh my gosh

[urban sleet]

Trading post

[prime gazelle]

ah

[gray mulch]

Please tell me you have proviso

[prime gazelle]

yhh

[boreal steeple]

Only the gold is smhow almost like mine production

[gray mulch]

Because they have max level factories 243

[severe crypt]

Hey at least it’s better than nirens base 🥹

[boreal steeple]

We can't laugh yet

[prime gazelle]

one of my factories produces those purple battle records

[boreal steeple]

Bro's producing nuclear power from endfield

[gray mulch]

Purple??

[random shard]

Purple...

[prime gazelle]

the tactical battle records

[boreal steeple]

1k exp

[gray mulch]

No offense but are you colorblind

[prime gazelle]

stuff u level up characters with

[prime gazelle]

nah ts purples bro

[boreal steeple]

There's no purple...

[patent heron]

Purple border i suppose

[gray mulch]

Ohhhh

[prime gazelle]

so what is it then

[abstract mauve]

yellow and gold

[gray mulch]

We just call that tier 4 (t4)

[boreal steeple]

It's green, blue, goldish yellow from factories

[prime gazelle]

i just called it purple level up shit tbh

[abstract mauve]

you just call it battle records because you shouldnt be producing lower tier ones

[gray mulch]

It's confusing since it's yellow

[boreal steeple]

Yea and they take up limit faster

[prime gazelle]

so should all my factories produce gold?

[boreal steeple]

BRO YOU HAVE EXCESSIVE GOLD WDYMMM

[shadow bay]

isnt he expensive for a brick?

[prime gazelle]

thats excessive?

[gray mulch]

Your first order of business is working on trading post

[severe crypt]

[patent heron]

Bro no
You need to produce just enough to trade in tp
Anything above that is a dead weight

[gray mulch]

You could stop making gold for months atp

[boreal steeple]

BRO THAT'S 1.15M WORTH OF LMD JUST STOP PRODUCING GOLD

[patent heron]

[severe crypt]

Bro could do all 5 fac on exp for a bit

[prime gazelle]

last time i did that i lasted a couple weeks and thats with my current base

[boreal steeple]

YOU LITERALLY CAN PRODUCE LMD 2 WEEKS IN A ROW AND STILL LEAVE SOME

[boreal steeple]

(Expecting proviso ofc)

[south fog]

Yato is limited?

[urban sleet]

Base so horrible this guy couldn't bear it anymore

[prime gazelle]

yes

[gray mulch]

Yeah just run 3 exp 2 gold and RUN PROVISO

[boreal steeple]

Yato alter is, yato regular is 2☆

[urban sleet]

Kirin x Yato is limjted indeed

[south fog]

🥹

[quiet sandal]

does joint operation banner share pity with normal banners? or only with other joint operation banners

[boreal steeple]

Yes. Read the details of banner if you aren't sure

[prime gazelle]

yato alter is at least regular yato might also be limited

[patent heron]

Well, yes

[shadow bay]

its considered as standard banner

[south fog]

Im talking about the one that spins

[prime gazelle]

yhh lol shes limited

[quiet sandal]

the description says standard banner, but like idk wat "standard" in arknight mean
getting back into game after like 10 yrs 😭

[prime gazelle]

what kind of op is proviso?

[gray mulch]

Monster hunter collab should be coming later this year so good chance she'll rerun

[prime gazelle]

nvm i got her

[south fog]

So i can summon on sakiko and save for that baner no🤔

[patent heron]

"You put her in trading post and she makes you lots of blue meth lungmen dollars" kind of op

[boreal steeple]

+2 gold ingots on 2gold or 3gold trade making you 50% more income at least

[abstract mauve]

she's collab limited. i.e. only reruns if AK chooses to collab with monsterhunter again and they rerun the banner. there is a planned collab for it on CN but 1. we dont know if yato2 will rerun. 2. we dont know if this will 100% come to global aswell although it likely would if it does run on CN

[random shard]

Get her e2 for best results

[prime gazelle]

no i mean is she a caster or supporter

[gray mulch]

Yeah the collab hasn't even hit cn yet so lots of time to save for her

[boreal steeple]

bro.

[south fog]

I didnt know cn got exclusive stuff

[abstract mauve]

there's at least 6 months if not more between the 2 banners yeah you should be fine

[gray mulch]

Supporter

[abstract mauve]

it more has to do with some skins that they get that we dont but that didnt really happen with gameplay stuff afaik

[prime gazelle]

my proviso been e1 level 1 since she released just like most of my 5 stars

[urban sleet]

We got no date for MH rerun
Assuming jt's the very next event in cn after cny you would have 6 months in hand so lot of time

[gray mulch]

She needs e2 to do her job

[boreal steeple]

Get her e2 and just cycle her with other ops. Right now better

[south fog]

Gonna be a torture save pulls 😩

[gray mulch]

You "only" need 120 to guarantee collab op so not hard to save in 6+ months

[prime gazelle]

what other ops should i get for base i just slapped in random ops and rotate them

[urban sleet]

how random are they

[patent heron]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zYc2JU46X0XWmV7s1503bN4feRdOMa1eehrTQ2jGaiE/edit?gid=301545366#gid=301545366

[prime gazelle]

yes

[gray mulch]

#r-i-i-c pins

[south fog]

I tought only sakiko was 120 pulls

[urban sleet]

Every collab limited is

[south fog]

That is good to know that colab are 120

[prime gazelle]

banners like sakiko it is 120 pulls for the 6 star

[gray mulch]

All collab gacha is 120

[south fog]

Arknights dev are not that bad after all

[ancient lotus]

since collab banners are slap on top of the 4 limited per year, if they make them 300 as well there's gonna be a riot

[gray mulch]

Yeah AK is prob the most f2p/dolphin friendly gacha I've played

[south fog]

Also using base to farm pulls not worth right im losing lmd and exp 🤔

[ancient lotus]

correct

its only feasible when you're done raising everyone

[lyric lagoon]

orundum farm is only if you have basically everything raised and have nothing else to spend your stuff on

[prime gazelle]

its a good thing i wasnt farming orundum when i showed u my base

[gray mulch]

You can do it on off weeks without losing too much

[south fog]

Thanks for all the information guys have a good night

[outer gyro]

Good night bro

[bright bobcat]

what is necrass's best skill?

[prime gazelle]

so idk what factory team to go for

[ancient lintel]

there's combo guide in #bot-spam me thinks

[nocturne arrow]

What's skill do I use for nymph

[ancient lintel]

mostly 2, 3 if you wanna use arturia with her

[nocturne arrow]

oh ok, thanks

[pale tapir]

/base or /baseskills
I forgto which
otherwise #r-i-i-c pins

[boreal steeple]

Should i buy diamante for the shamare tp? (I have 2k red certs)

[dark flare]

Which account is better based on characters ignore level

[quick jolt]

1st probably. ines is really the only thing that gives the second account an advantage

[spare jetty]

i prefer the one with ines

[bleak wave]

what do i buy with this currency?

[boreal steeple]

Left has yu and reedalt
Right has ines
First one is better in general content, second one has ines

[quaint finch]

save

[bleak wave]

also how do i get more?

[quaint finch]

or if you dont know where to spend it the contingency contract shop

[dark flare]

Alright, just as I thought thanks.

[pale tapir]

clear CC missions

[bleak wave]

i mostly meant why to buy there

[boreal steeple]

From daily maps missions or main site

[bleak wave]

oh

not only clearing right? gotta be the missions

[bleak wave]

for what though?

[patent heron]

Missions impose clear conditions
Gotta clear with the specific risks they require

[boreal steeple]

Missions yes, since it doesn't take your morale

[quaint finch]

operator skins, 6★ potentials, and lots of materials

[pseudo socket]

i got thorns from other half of the starter banner should i change someone to get him

[boreal steeple]

Lapipi

[gray mulch]

Nah he's useless before e2 and you have better things to e2 before him

[quaint finch]

maybe lappland though you could use either of them and get by fine

[pseudo socket]

i realized its hard to e2 so maybe later then

[gray mulch]

E1 thorns isn't actually better than lapp tho

[boreal steeple]

You can do integrated strategies monthly squads. It speeds up lmd and exp requirements but still you need the materials

[pseudo socket]

ill e2 eyja first she is good for my team right

[gray mulch]

I'd do silverash and hoshi first

[boreal steeple]

E2 is useless ngl. Hoshi2 benefits more

[pseudo socket]

my xp

[boreal steeple]

. Also work on the base

[quaint finch]

right i forgot oops

[bleak wave]

it's already a miracle i even did the skin cc, what is the easiest combination for 600 risk?

[pseudo socket]

ill open it in like 2 missions

[pale tapir]

not going for 620?

[shy quiver]

Is Matsukiri any good?

[bleak wave]

prob right

[boreal steeple]

He's better myrtle basically but requires a bit change of a strategy on it

[quaint finch]

i think theres an ines logos walter 3op with 620

[spare jetty]

theres some clears lying around #cc-central

[pale tapir]

s3m3 lv90 raidian + tragodia borrow and free ops can easily 620

[boreal steeple]

It was also eyja or lappalter as supporter to logos

[gray mulch]

Raidian + trag is lowest investment clear, not sure that counts as "easiest"

[spare jetty]

its elbana ines logos bru

[shy quiver]

I'm new and won't be able to get all of his tokens. Is that a limit on his usefulness?

[boreal steeple]

1 free unit and support unit

[autumn rivet]

Mujica announced ? Or are we getting mantra first ?

[bitter hornet]

the other can also 3 op clear 620

[spare jetty]

trag raidian ines or yato1 or confess47

[boreal steeple]

Ave mujica comes soon, mantra is after couple months

[quaint finch]

maintenance on the 10th

[gray mulch]

Raidian + trag + already 3 op with yato lmao https://youtu.be/9jVQtU69BFc?si=t2zc_JJv9uF8wnCm

[spare jetty]

yep trag raidian yato1 and trag raidian confess47 is a real thing if i remember right

[autumn rivet]

So no more mat farm event after ato right , guess I'll just all in ato

[boreal steeple]

There was 2op in #salt-mines

[quaint finch]

[pseudo socket]

guys i dont know what to do with regular tasks should i do the new missions? and seasonal challenges i have no idea

[wheat bolt]

Hi everyone! So I've started playng this game cuz of Endfield and wanted to learn more about the original game. I made a couple of mistakes in my first initial run and want to start over (for example, I wanted Surtr and picked her in the Kernel rate up banner, but was given a free selector with Surtr shortly after)

If I were to start again, is there anyone in the current or upcoming lineup/banner that I should try to chase while I progress early on?

[solemn carbon]

usually stages have a little video reel for rewatching the related story if it's not a standalone scene

[spare jetty]

check pins

[boreal steeple]

Just do everything ig

[boreal steeple]

All questions answered in the pins basically

[wheat bolt]

Some of the dates say 2024 and 2025, these all still hold up?

[gray mulch]

Useful links > roadless camelot is the main guide and it's up to date

[tiny abyss]

Check edit date, they are regularly updated

[wheat bolt]

Thanks everyone, will read through these ❤️

First thing I saw was "Nope don't pull on kernel". I dumped everything in it T>T New account it is

[haughty holly]

well if it's still a new acc.. I guess u can reroll..

[gray mulch]

The squad building guide is kinda outdated but the general idea is worth keeping in mind

[abstract mauve]

how is the squad building guide outdated?

[gray mulch]

You don't really need to follow the 2 medic, 2 aa sniper, 1 arts, 2 laneholder whatever anymore. Modern dps is strong enough to disregard that stuff. Also newbie gets access to e2 borrow as soon as they start so it's not that important anyways

[abstract mauve]

[dark flare]

Out of these 5 stars which are worth upgrading

[abstract mauve]

worth building? ptilopsis and that's kinda it

[fathom nest]

[dark flare]

Alright

[fathom nest]

Not everyone is going to be borrowing to rush content
The idea is to provide a basic general squad to cover what the majority of early chapters will likely need to clear

[gray mulch]

You can build amiya later when you unlock [spoiler]

[abstract mauve]

the problem with this logic is best thing a new player can do is open the game, e2 like specter or lappland and then borrow wisadel or ling/raidian depending on the stage and they are already end game. there's no argument here like wdym it's outdated

[dark flare]

Long way to go...

[gray mulch]

No I mean like even just "have 2 medics" is debatable. You don't actually need 2 medics in a general squad these days

[lethal void]

should i build matsukiri?

[fathom nest]

Depends on your other vanguards, but if you're new, sure

[abstract mauve]

it never hurts to have 2 medics as a general bit of advice is the thing

[fathom nest]

Newbies will want 2 medics

[abstract mauve]

especially when you have silence and ptilo as a starter

[dark flare]

I mean I have warfarin e2 but I sometimes do still need 2 healers as she's more of a buffer

[gray mulch]

And "have 2 aa snipers". If you have enough ranged you can go with 0 snipers. Etc. You can convey a general idea without suggesting one needs to have 2 snipers in a squad. I could go on but wtv

[fathom nest]

Not having full pots and trust on their low rarity ops is actually much harder on them than you think it is

[lethal void]

my only vanguards are 3 stars and myrtle, should i invest in matsukiri and texas? maybe another 5 star too? like lappland or specter or something

[fathom nest]

Use Fang/Noir and Matsu, don't use Texas at all

[abstract mauve]

just stick to matsukiri and myrtle. if you have cantabile or surfer then matsukiri + surfer/canta

[fathom nest]

Myrtle is fine at e1

[fathom nest]

Where are all these various options you think a new player is going to have?

[abstract mauve]

sniper is definitely fine earlier on. 2 marksman is also not bad. kroos and kroos2 are really good early. i think you are having more of a problem with the phrasing rather than the recommendations made maybe?

[lethal void]

i dont have canta or surfer

[gray mulch]

The point is the "sometimes". Sometimes you don't need any, sometimes you might even want 3 healers. If it was "raise 2 medics" I wouldn't have any problems with it.

[gray mulch]

Yeah it's the way it's presented really

[abstract mauve]

then just stick with matsukiri + myrtle or a noir corne as socks pointed out. a lvl 30 noir corne can be used as a vanguard when you are newer to the game

[fathom nest]

nitpicking vs it actually being wrong

[lethal void]

its that im having trouble at 7-9 with my currents vanguards

[abstract mauve]

you can just ping F.A.E and ask him if he might rephrase it to make it more understandable to new player

[fathom nest]

It's always chapter 7

[abstract mauve]

level 7-9 in specific has some nasty dogs at the beginning

[fathom nest]

7-4 is also just hellish

[abstract mauve]

7-4 is rough ye

[gray mulch]

I don't even have that much of a problem with it lmao the newbie asked "these guides were made some time ago, is any of it outdated?" And I literally said "kinda"

[lethal void]

i know, the guide i was watching told me to use vigna but there must be better options

[thin raptor]

is it a good idea to buy the matsukiri potentials in the event shop? the event will come back eventually and we can max pot the welfare for free later from record restoration right?

just not sure if buying the pots now will get us gold tickets in the future or if there's no point

[sand folio]

Is it more reasonable to focus on 1 or 2 ops of a squad or just slowly go for a balanced team? Like everyone on lvl 50 and starting with the lowest graded ones (cheaper)

[somber coral]

does necrass have 2 modules in the cn?

[fathom nest]

If you have potentials on the welfare at the time of the rerun you get gold certs in return for buying them again

The more pots, the more certs

[abstract mauve]

the issue is that i know that the guides mentioned are still up to date even if they were made like a couple months ago. FAE even redesigned roadless camelot very recently

[pale tapir]

I would focus on key team members, just get everyone else up to a serviceable level

[tiny abyss]

Record restoration wipes remaining tokens but yes buying it is worth it for when the event reruns a year later for certs

[quiet sandal]

is vina poopoo

[fathom nest]

Yes

[gray mulch]

They said some of it were from 2024 or 2025 idk which specifically they meant

[quiet sandal]

started playing again to save up for her :(((

[fathom nest]

I think they were referring to the time of the original message, not any specific guide

[gray mulch]

Ah probably yeah

[fathom nest]

Since we've just been updating the message instead of reposting

[sand folio]

I'm very new, I'm having a hard time knowing who are the key members.
For example, From my very short experience I started with Fang and Kroos1 since they were cheap and I use them basically everywhere
(Also, cool name ☀️ )

[gray mulch]

Hoshi surtr silverash

[somber gate]

Is it actually any worth to buy skins and home decor? I heard or misheard that buying decor on rerun can give you some tickets or something

[gray mulch]

You could e1 exu or bench her for kroos2. Kroos2 has stun which can be nice while exu will fall off

[fathom nest]

You'll get intel certs on the rerun from the furniture
Skins are a personal choice, they don't provide any benefit other than looks

[pale tapir]

key members are the units that you couldn't clear stages without
so usually dps operators like surtr or hoshi alt

[formal shadow]

melantha skin

[somber gate]

Nice, furniture then, thanks man

[sand folio]

I was surprised by how expensive Hoshi got to lvl up after E1

[gray mulch]

Yeah level costs go up exponentially so you wanna only level up for a specific goal in mind, ie the next promotion or to unlock module

[fathom nest]

Having decent base production will help immensely with raising your ops

[gray mulch]

and also RA/IS have free lmd/exp/mat rewards for no sanity cost

[somber coral]

what does this means

[untold snow]

How much factory i should set to exp and how much for metal?

[fathom nest]

2/3 depending on how much gold you need at the time

If you're sustaining with just 2 then use 3 exp

[untold snow]

Alr ok ty

[lethal void]

do i build matsukiri to e2 or e1 is fine?

[fathom nest]

Just e1 is good for now

[lethal void]

when he gets a module do i e2 him?

[gray mulch]

What part of it is confusing?

[somber coral]

does that means the module just makes necrass worse

[fathom nest]

No

[somber coral]

but wont the summon having 1 tile instead of 4 be bad

[fathom nest]

Just means the enemy needs to be blocked for it to hit if it isn't in the direction of the tile

[ionic karma]

just wondering when it comes to say the afk anni guides ive noticed thorns is used for alot of the lane holding.

are there any decent just straight swap ins?

[sick wedge]

Is there a way to get a decent amount of pulls early on into the game? I am currently 40 pulls deep into the vulpisfoglia banner because I misunderstood how pity worked and now it's probably all going to go to waste lol

[heady ruin]

where is the guide for the matsuriki minigame again? rushing it rn

[somber coral]

it's a standard banner so it should share I think?

[heady ruin]

it's early game it'll be fineeeeeeeee

[sick wedge]

It said that only the percentage increase after 50 was shared unless mistaken

[somber coral]

im not sure

[eternal spoke]

Better afk skill in general for hoshi alter s1 or s2?

[sick wedge]

I'm only on ch4 with like no event prog so I'm not gonna run out or anything but it is very unfortunate

[fathom nest]

You can sub him for any strong ranged option a majority of the time

[sand folio]

atm I'm working on DH-5 and IW-5

[fathom nest]

2

[gray mulch]

The summon will still attack with extended range, but the module effect (summoning new summon from summon range) will not count the extended range

[somber coral]

what

so it doesn't count the extended range of the big summon

[gray mulch]

With the module, necrass can make new summons in summon's range even if they are not in her own range. But this effect does not work for extended summon range.

[somber coral]

yes I understood it now

[winged narwhal]

is there a picture here for the ato minigame ?

[fathom nest]

In the pins

[bright bobcat]

Necrass's module confuses me a bit is it just an increase to damage?

[timber arrow]

I don't understand this pls help 🙏

[gray mulch]

It lets her attack things blocked by her summon so a kind of range extension with dmg bonus yes

[gray mulch]

You need to do all the objective sets

[bright bobcat]

i feel like that doesnt do much unless there is a summon with range cause the summons spawn in her range regardless. unless it summons on the edge of her range allowing necrass to attack anything the summon attacks and blocks

[gray mulch]

She can extend range during skill. So with the mod she'll be able to attack things not normally in range off skill. Also mod upgrade lets her summon things in summon range

[bright bobcat]

i gotcha okey. is it still a random placement of summon or is there a way to control that?

[gray mulch]

Random unfortunately

[bright bobcat]

damn its still worth getting though it looks like so ill work on that ty for the info

[bleak wave]

should i m3 surtr s3? it's pretty cheap i think

[thorny edge]

u got hoshi alt?

[bleak wave]

yeah but her s3 is not pretty cheap

[thorny edge]

yeah but her s3 is better

[bleak wave]

also i use surtr a lot as hoshi sees more use as a defender that defends with s2 rn

[thorny edge]

[pliant patrol]

Is IS6 ending 2 beatable with Raidian and support Wisadel as my only E2 units? Or will I be lacking damage?

[bleak wave]

in other way to say so you understand, i can't mastery hoshi alter

[thorny edge]

wisadel slop, use exu2 and raidian and leak all 17 enemies on the left side is the easy way

[bleak wave]

but i can mastery surtr

[thorny edge]

buddy ur one off, surely green cert shop

[bleak wave]

it's not on green shop

[thorny edge]

gng its tier 2 shop

[bleak wave]

it's not there

[thorny edge]

[outer gyro]

Exu2 is probably better

[bleak wave]

that's in fact not the same mat

[sand folio]

I'm trying
I'm trying
For my next upgrade I need to reach 3-5 iirc, and I'm still on 2-6 or something

[bleak wave]

[thorny edge]

u cant make prefab?

[oblique cypress]

ooo laqera caught lacking

[normal crypt]

I think you need story progression to unlock the crafting for certain stuff

[thorny edge]

tf

[bleak wave]

hg thought it was a really inteligent idea to lock material farming behind story

[oblique cypress]

you can rush to ch15 in one day so its not like its an issue

[abstract mauve]

uhhh did you spend your orange looking currency?

[thorny edge]

never had this problem myb gng
shrimply be day 1 player

[slim tusk]

prefab recipe need s9-4

[bleak wave]

[royal swan]

u can do ch9 and ch15 straight anyway

but yea u need s9-1 to s9-4 for some mats and 15-9 for the latest one that dropped with it

[thorny edge]

mfw its chapter 9 bro surely
lock in twin

[timber arrow]

Thanks

[bleak wave]

i'm chapter 9 but i don't have the sanity to get there, might get there in a few days

[abstract mauve]

got any of these boyos?

[royal swan]

i believe u can do the story mode which doesn't cost sanity and it still unlocks

[bleak wave]

still why hoshi getting m3 one day makes m3 the cheap surtr s3 not a good idea?

[bleak wave]

let me check

[fading saddle]

Should I get Waai fu from the 5 star selector?

[timber arrow]

No

[bleak wave]

yeah i can buy from the parametric thing

[royal swan]

raidian can solo a15 on is6 with the right rng so just raidian and wisadel can 100% clear that yea

[junior hull]

Finally got suzuran from recruitment, which skill to m3 first and which module should I pick for her?

[slim tusk]

story mode cost 0 sanity and can unlock recipe ye

[timber arrow]

Warfarin lappland ptilopsis or blue poison it has more value

[bleak wave]

i just don't use hoshi s3 that much, early on s2 is just better, s3 is nice mostly in hard stages but i'd rather use her to lane hold so far and s2 makes her no need any healer is nice

[abstract mauve]

exu2 probably better than wisadel against ed2 but ye as long as you have raidian leveled, on lower difficulty you should be fine

[royal swan]

skill 3

mods are both kinda meh

one gives her faster skill cycles (x) and the other gives her slightly better fragile(y) and enfeeble

[random shard]

Alternatively, take feater for base

[heady ruin]

hoshi alter comes first at least imo, tho idk if the mats for surt and hoshi overlap

[royal swan]

i would do warfarin or ptilopsis honestly cuz in the long run those are more likely to remain valuable compared to 5* dmg dealers

bp is fine but since kroos alter is free i dont like recommending another sniper when u can get one of the medics mentioned or just do specter/lappland

[fading saddle]

So either warf or ptilopsis

[bleak wave]

they don't at all

[royal swan]

i would do ptilopsis from the free ticket on day 7 that has lappland specter ptilopsis cliffheart and then do warfarin from this but this doesn't help the early game as much cuz its 2 medic picks with no dps so keep that in mind

[junior hull]

Oh, has the upcoming collab released their schedule yet? Or is it still in speculation??

[bleak wave]

well they do a bit but i can farm those

[royal swan]

other option is to just get ptilo from either one and get lappland/specter from the other ig but i'd still personally do ptilo + warf if i were starting rn

[royal swan]

should be on the 10th since we have a 4 hour maintenance confirmed for then https://fixupx.com/ArknightsEN/status/2018882205955604655

[fading saddle]

What about for late game? Since I'm pretty much there

[random shard]

You pick someone for base, like FEater lol maybe Kafka if you never got bibeak

[clever plover]

who's best to e2 rn?

[slim tusk]

ulpeanuts

[gloomy spruce]

Should I do Nuker or Elemental?

[royal swan]

just do ptilo/warf then

warf has a 90% atk buff at s2m3 and restores 1 every sp for every unit killed, u treat her more like a buffer and pair her with physical stuff (since atk scales much better on physical units), just try to make sure the unit ur buffing is the only one in her range so u dont have to deal with rng on her skill

ptilo is an sp regen aura which is also pretty good

[hollow verge]

why is the new event so peak

[tiny abyss]

Use Recruitment calculator

Elemental is only PhonoR

[limber pecan]

ulpenis then asca

[clever plover]

mr penis ahh

[royal swan]

nuker shift support are all 4* tags so it depends on what u want from them

elemental is only phonor but 1* cannot be obtained if ur timer is 4h or higher so the tag will fail anyway (and there's a good chance the tag will fail at 3h50 since lower duration = increased likelihood of tag failing)

https://akgcc.github.io/recruit/ like the other guy said use this

i would do medic support if ur missing either of them imo

or plain support if u wanna gamble on elysium

[heady ruin]

ignore everyone and E2 vigil immediatly

[thorny edge]

@unhelpful

[abstract mauve]

MOODDDDDS

[royal swan]

do ulpianus for module ye

gladiia becomes more valuable at that point as well since u can get her module which buffs ulpianus even more so i might consider her above ascalon but either of those should be after him yea

[thorny edge]

no she doesnt, gladiia hot garbage

[heady ruin]

what is bro yapping abt

[thorny edge]

gng gladiia aint allat

[abstract mauve]

ulpianus e2 mod is just a nice thing but not the main reason for ulpi e2

[heady ruin]

She's not garbage at all idk what you mean if you like abyssal hunters teams yeah use her

average #help moment

[thorny edge]

theres one good abyssal hunter and he doesnt need the rest of his groupies to perform

[woeful zodiac]

abyssal hunter is 90% ulpianus and 10% everyone else

[abstract mauve]

what if you like characters that are good. you generally wouldnt be using gladiia unless it's for afk

[royal swan]

helps a lot to have gladiia with module + ulpi + module when some events like OR rerun, i had gladiia built myself so was able to cheese or-s-4 with a borrowed ulpianus to hold the boss and it allowed me to deal with the rest of the stage with 11 units

u dont need the rest of the AH, gladiia is specifically cuz she helps ulpianus in this niche which is relevant on a newer acc imo, the other abyssals are hot trash ye

[heady ruin]

i think buffs are nice i think

[thorny edge]

yk what really helps? a medic

[severe crypt]

Imma be honest haruka is the new gladiia

[abstract mauve]

[thorny edge]

got better damage asw unironically

[heady ruin]

how is Gladiaa "bad" in any way ya'll are too brainrotted by Wisandelslop

[thorny edge]

no one even brought up wisadel bro

[abstract mauve]

brother. there's at least 50 better 6* ops

[heady ruin]

I can tell 💤

[severe crypt]

Yeah idk I feel the ad hominems in here

[royal swan]

gladiia in one slot does more than any medic would over a long stage and it frees up more slots (i needed 11 units to deal with the rest of OR like i mentioned)

and yes sure haruka is better and there's other good ops and all but they dont have that so idk why haruka is even being mentioned in here

[thorny edge]

ur just kinda out of it twin

[knotty wave]

❌ bring Gladiia to help 1 operator
✅ bring medic to help more operators

[thorny edge]

not rly it wastes one slot bc ulpianus doesnt need gladiia to be good

[heady ruin]

me when making an unit better is somehow bad by #help standards

[thorny edge]

b-b-but if you bring AH you can help more operators with gladiia

[severe crypt]

Who said anything about needing only haruka, just use any medic at all

[heady ruin]

i'm ouuuuuuuutt a mimir 💤

[abstract mauve]

[thorny edge]

unless you can double the unit's performance, its not rly worth buffing them

[woeful zodiac]

ulpianus survives stuff fine without gladiia, the only times he wants gladiia is when extreme damage situation like the last VEC event with mechanist.
Any other time a medic is already more than enough.

[knotty wave]

its bad when it only helps 1 op and its even worse when that said operator...dont particularly need that helper either

[severe crypt]

Gladiia vs the entire medic class who would win

[thorny edge]

the abjurer subclass actually

[knotty wave]

gladiia x ulpi vs ulpi and the entire team + mon3tr, who would win?

[severe crypt]

The third party is real 🥹

[woeful zodiac]

does AH rot go deeper than wisadelrot 🥀

[severe crypt]

Perchance

[thorny edge]

it definitely does
its like the matcha latte of cafe orders

[severe crypt]

At least with wisadel users know they don’t have brains

AH users just use gladiia ulpi and think they Aristotle

[knotty wave]

ah rot is even worse because theyll pretend xyz is good because they spent millions worth of resources on several ops to prop up this one

[thorny edge]

introducing lappland and yu s3
must seem steven hawking tier

[severe crypt]

Ok they too busy about flashiness that’s them Mansory body kit buyers

[thorny edge]

supra drivers

[woeful zodiac]

trust in the insane synergy

[slim tusk]

wow so cheap

[severe crypt]

As synergistic as the average divorced couple 🥹

[thorny edge]

allat for 3.5% hp regen and 30% dr

[ruby osprey]

gladiia is not a laneholder

[shadow bay]

wow only 4 ceu?? i though she is expensive

[ruby osprey]

4 is expensive lol

[shadow bay]

also wtf why are u still alive???

[ruby osprey]

later ceu ops only use 3

[woeful zodiac]

its a pretty standard e2 price

[ruby osprey]

i came back for hoshialt and i got her and p3 haruka

anyway is hoshialt just surtr with bigger range

thats kind of the vibe i get with her

[shadow bay]

better surtr as they labeled yeh

[ruby osprey]

yay i can finally get over the fact i have never used surtr except for once in is2 temp recruit

[woeful zodiac]

if you 3x surtr damage and make the undying team wide, yeah you could say that

[shadow bay]

atleast u can decide if u want her to stay or do take her life

[gray mulch]

Also hits air for some reason

[neat acorn]

Do I have to kill the boss in GO-9 to beat the stage

[knotty wave]

ofc

[neat acorn]

Made it to the end just to get killed

[knotty wave]

the boss has a timer, if you dont kill him he will automatically end the stage and youll lose

[ruby osprey]

Is that the current event

[knotty wave]

its Grand Overture

[shadow bay]

vina Victoria event, the uhhh... u pick gadget on field for buffs or something

[bitter hornet]

what are some good hit count units for dealing with such enemies?

[formal shadow]

ethan, ascalon

[mild wagon]

Ascalon ethan flingers

[ruby osprey]

Ethan ascalon if you have her basically anything with some kind of dot or poison mist effect

[gloomy spruce]

Where I use this?

[formal shadow]

upgrading operator at higher levels

[ruby osprey]

Elite 2 material you should just buy it anyway

[formal shadow]

e2, mastery, module

[ruby osprey]

They’re pretty annoying to craft so it saves you a lot of sanity and time later on

[gloomy spruce]

To be fair, all E2 mats annoying to craft.

Grindstone can only be luck dropped?

Don't see any events where I can get it and I need 7 of them

[formal shadow]

wait for an event that has em in farming stages (check /cnfarm in #bot-spam ). only farm ongoing events

[ruby osprey]

Yes. Only oriron device rock sugar polyester and piss pill can be crafted

[formal shadow]

seems like you'll need to wait like 3-4 months until EP rerun

[ruby osprey]

Is main story that bad if its something important they could just wait for ato to end and farm msq

[gloomy spruce]

By that I point I just luck drop them

[ruby osprey]

I also think contingency contract shop has grindstone

[neat acorn]

Pretty hard to kill him since his res and def increases

[shadow bay]

i wouldn't bother that much with grindstone, thwy will be in infinite shop soon

[ruby osprey]

For what event

[shadow bay]

i think it would start it sash alter event

[ruby osprey]

Soon is still like 3 months away bruh

[shadow bay]

so thats 2-3 months of waiting

[marble viper]

soon?

[gloomy spruce]

I dont think I can do that yet with a single E2

[shadow bay]

the time will fly in no time trust

[ruby osprey]

Yeah like you might as well just farm msq

[abstract mauve]

soon is like anywhere between 12 hours and 6 months as long as we have prior knowledge

[ruby osprey]

How good is the yuribait collab btw idk much about them

[marble viper]

ave mujika hasnt even dropped yet and people already impatient for that

[abstract mauve]

sakiko is pretty nice. the 5* are wtvr. if you are new, sakiko can be pretty good

[shadow bay]

yeh that dud3 is old af

[marble viper]

is expanding sakikos range worth the mediocrity of the 5 stars

[abstract mauve]

oh sakiko is pretty good if you took a long vacation as well

[ruby osprey]

I got bored but im addicted to is6 now so

And im missing like everything in the last year and a half

[abstract mauve]

umiri is fine. the dollkeeper and bard can be used to build fever as well

[marble viper]

is there even a vanguard on the team

[shadow bay]

i only recall tragodia and exalter within this time frame that are notably good

[formal shadow]

no

[ruby osprey]

I got lemon instead of exalter and i only caught the last 3 days of tragodia banner and obviously didnt get shit

[marble viper]

yu?

[ruby osprey]

Also got blaze the fraudulent on yu

[slim tusk]

exu and trag is borken

[abstract mauve]

🍋 is pretty good as well so good consolation prize maybe

[ruby osprey]

Yeah but im so fucking POOR

i havent even done m3 on haruka yet and ive raised like 6 ops these last 3 weeks

Im legitimately running out of xp help

[shadow bay]

he is nice sure but rly didnt see him as grand compare to others

his s2 handy though when i need it

[marble viper]

im runnin out of lmd and pullls

[ruby osprey]

I mainly wanted him for shu

Because then id only need one other suiling but oh well i guess

[abstract mauve]

yu is a general content slave. it is what it is. shines when he's shitting on easy content. sometimes s2 has tp niche but that's rare

[gloomy spruce]

Is there any rewards here?

[gray mulch]

Are you already caught up on old IS/RA

[shadow bay]

thats game mode dedicated mainly to farm module materials

[ruby osprey]

I hate RA so no and ive done every is except for is5 cuz i do not understand the gameplay

[shadow bay]

except mod blocks coz hahaha lmao (u can get some in first clr of maps but heheh)

[gray mulch]

IS5 is actually quite easy with the lamp

[gloomy spruce]

Well that useful since I have one

[marble viper]

how have u done is 3 but not 5 the insufferable sea abominations bro

[slim tusk]

easya and fast

[ruby osprey]

Because i did it way before is5 was ever a thing (it sucks)

[gray mulch]

I liked IS3 it's gotten better with d16+ though

[ruby osprey]

What do you mean theres d16 now

[abstract mauve]

isnt d18 like giga aids

[marble viper]

give me 3 reasons why i should try it

[shadow bay]

yeh they add 3 more difficulty some time ago

[ruby osprey]

Im still on like d9 for is3 wtfart

[gray mulch]

Yeah lol we got up to d18 now

[gray mulch]

IS3 at all? Or d16+?

[marble viper]

is3 at all

[ruby osprey]

Its not that bad anymore

[abstract mauve]

good battle pass. good soundtrack

[ruby osprey]

Even when i was actively grinding it there werent many genuinely terrible stages and they were all concentrated on f4/5

[marble viper]

is it "not bad" anymore cuz new op ops are out? or the is itself changed

[abstract mauve]

i genuinely hate the pompeii stages

[ruby osprey]

Powercreep its been like 3 years since is3 came out

[ruby osprey]

Pompeii = nightingale or you commit toaster bath

[abstract mauve]

when is3 came out texalter was still being used for it

[ruby osprey]

Yeah cuz she was the most reliable way to kill manta rays but most modern ops can just brute force them

[formal shadow]

just grind d7 and call it a day

[shadow bay]

yeh this people still traumatized with fire and water or something stage

[marble viper]

yea so new ops right? i dont have them

[ruby osprey]

Ok tbf territorial whatever wnd fire and water did legitimately suck

[formal shadow]

firegirl and waterboy

[ruby osprey]

You have nothing at all from the last 2 years? I find that quite hard to believe

[marble viper]

not nothing, but its mostly ground troops which ofc is3 sucks for

[gray mulch]

Theme-wise it's cool. Sound track does go hard. I think the reason ppl hate it is the randomness which is mostly solved with d16+.

[ruby osprey]

I mean they just make ground ops randomly hit air now for whatever bullshit reason like młynar and hoshialt

[abstract mauve]

sankta miksaparato is pretty good for is3 :clueless:

[ruby osprey]

Granted hoshialt is bad here cuz +70 res go brr (why)

[marble viper]

if u really wanna ask how bad are my high ground ops, i still use exu1

[ruby osprey]

Is he actually

[ruby osprey]

There is no way its that bad lol

[shadow bay]

[abstract mauve]

no. he isnt. i use him in my welfare only runs tho

[marble viper]

it is bro

[abstract mauve]

i think he needs some help with relics but he does pretty well against like highmore

[idle finch]

Is the upcoming maintenance for sakiko?

[ruby osprey]

Can you actually show

[shadow bay]

uncertain

[marble viper]

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

[ruby osprey]

Theres another one already? We literally just got one for the gambling event and patriot cc

[idle finch]

Pins

[gray mulch]

No announcement for saki yet but it could be predownload for it

[shadow bay]

we have another announcement yeh, and it will be a big one given they warm us to bind account

[marble viper]

if u look down there are 4 ops down there that i lost while trying to get tragodia

[outer ermine]

is there a date for ave mujica yet

[shadow bay]

nop

[ruby osprey]

Pretty sure ray can just murder every low altitude floating in is3 assuming you dont do stupid shit like d15 regularly

[royal swan]

should be the 10th https://fixupx.com/ArknightsEN/status/2018882205955604655

[ruby osprey]

They arent that bad genuinely

[marble viper]

the downtime is where i struggle with her

[gray mulch]

If you're not doing high diff then you can use arts anyways no?

[shadow bay]

still speculation

uncertain if it will be ave mujica collab

[royal swan]

no confirmations ofc but a 4h maintenance feels like it should be the date

the other alternative is the 14th ig

[ruby osprey]

Its like d8 or something so yeah d7 can still use arts

[marble viper]

so i usually alternate between her skill and exu1 skill

[shadow bay]

but then again devs dont have history of shfting collab events schedule so...

[hexed adder]

Probably we will get another teaser today, just stay tuned

[ruby osprey]

Ok the last res buff is d12

So yeah you can still get away with arts for d7

[gray mulch]

Wait dude why is your proviso e0

[ruby osprey]

Oh hell nah fix that right now

[marble viper]

uh dont look at that

[gray mulch]

Drop everything and e2 her right now

[ruby osprey]

Bricked account you might as well just restart

[marble viper]

restart?

[ruby osprey]

Ok im half kidding but you should seriously build her shes genuinely insane for base

[marble viper]

i dont have the recources to do that rn wkwwkwkwk

[royal swan]

they're exaggerating but

u should e2 her, she's the only unit worth e2ing for base cuz she makes back the lmd u spend on her really fast

[oblique cypress]

why is this guy back

[gray mulch]

You have no resources because your prov is e0 smh my head

[elfin ermine]

Where do you get Kernel wishes?

[ruby osprey]

Who the fuck are you to start throwing strays lol

[royal swan]

if ur low on resources it adds up in the long run to do her early, unless u desperately need to build something for a time limited event or w.e u gain more value out of just e2ing her first yea

[maiden thunder]

whenever hg gives it to you

[marble viper]

smh my head too

[elfin ermine]

Hg?

[ruby osprey]

You should never go out of your way to get kernel pulls

Kernel banner is just worse to pull than anything else you could pull

Its basically just standard with shittier ops

[elfin ermine]

I won't use my resources on those, I'm wondering where I can get the Kernel wishes themselves

[maiden thunder]

the dev company,dont chase blue tickets or kernel banners ever and only use the tickets they decide to give u sometimes

[gray mulch]

We don't get a lot of free kernel pulls. You have to buy with certs (not recommended) or 💳

[undone portal]

we get like. 2 free kernel pulls every 6months or smth like that. its gonna take a while if you expect to pull a kernel 6star

[ruby osprey]

Its usually just gifts during like anniversaries

Or returner login

[mental herald]

Should i get dupe saria or gamble top op support?

[elfin ermine]

Mhm, alright thanks

[lavish cliff]

saria

[stoic quartz]

i haven't done the 620 points on CC yet, and haven't finished the ATO event, they are hard? im a bit busy and there's only one day left...

[elfin ermine]

When is the anniversary?

[lavish cliff]

if u use saria shes crazy good

[ruby osprey]

January

[hexed adder]

Event very ez

[gray mulch]

Why go for dupe though

[ruby osprey]

The ato event is global’s anniversary

[formal shadow]

why get dupe when you can get new op

[ruby osprey]

Dupes are peepee poopoo in this game its not like genshin where u need dupes to be functional + saria isnt even that good anymore so why even pot

[royal swan]

do u already have phantom?

[lucid scarab]

What do i upgrade first

[marble viper]

the tickets

[ruby osprey]

I only have a p4 saria because the game refuses to give me nightingale when i got like 6 healing tags

[royal swan]

or rather what are u missing from this

[gray mulch]

Trading post if you're making more gold than lmd. Fac if you're running out of gold bars. Keep them balanced

[maiden thunder]

trade post both to lvl 3 since u dont have proviso and then every facts at least lvl 2 then lvl 3 whichever u can

[lucid scarab]

I am running 1 fac for gold and others for exp

[undone portal]

guaranteed saria/phantom if you dont have them sounds pretty nice for top op pool standards

[royal swan]

u should do at least 2 factories for gold with 2 trading posts...

if ur lower on lmd more than exp (which was and still is the case for me) just prioritize trading posts to lv 3 and maybe swap an extra factory to gold if 2 lower level factories can't sustain that

but if u need more exp then just do factories first

[ruby osprey]

Do 2 gold at least. You are guaranteed to run out if you only do one gold

[mental herald]

Already pull sorry

[gray mulch]

If you're not running out with only 1 gold fac that's a problem with your tp lol

[royal swan]

they have saria, already they were asking for a saria pot

dunno what else they have tho

[ruby osprey]

What are you missing in the support tag then if you already have phantom

[undone portal]

would just take phantom then. might get some use in is

[royal swan]

i think they meant they already got the saria

[gray mulch]

What are you missing from support

[ruby osprey]

Truly love it when people just talk out of their ass

Saria pots are genuinely just bad except for the talent increase which again is not that good

[royal swan]

pots are genuinely bad*

dont know why anyone would recommend a pot over a new unit unless its someone they would genuinely never use

[lucid scarab]

Does the RA / IS grind give exp mats as well?

[maiden thunder]

support here is a 50/50

[ruby osprey]

Yes

[royal swan]

yes

[ruby osprey]

Ra and is give basically everything except for orundumbs

[lucid scarab]

Ok i will just do 2 gold facs and upgrade TPs and go grind RA IS i just did 3-8

[gray mulch]

RA/IS gives everything pretty much

[ruby osprey]

They even give you chip packs and glue for e2 lol

[undone portal]

theres even modblocks and pot tokens

[ruby osprey]

Speaking of i need to finish those cuz i actually ran out of glue and i needed to farm red certs for the first time in a long time

[gray mulch]

Recent two IS also give m3 voucher

[royal swan]

if ur running low on gold bars u can run a 3rd gold fac as well until u get the factories levelled as well

everything that uses exp also uses lmd anyway while there's also things like promotions and modules that dont use exp but still use lmd, so u end up needing lmd more often than exp

and yea i used IS to turbo farm a bunch of mats when i was new, it helps a lot

[lucid scarab]

Rn i just needs lots of LMD and exp

[undone portal]

farm is/ra, finish setting up your base if you havent already

[ruby osprey]

Im broke on lmf and xp leveling mon3tr to e1 80 is legitimately gonna drive me into poverty

[lucid scarab]

I'm getting bottlenecked , by the drones

[ruby osprey]

And i dont have any chip glue either

[lucid scarab]

Wait i can get drones for sanity

[undone portal]

bad deal, dont buy drones

[oblique cypress]

yeah but like who asked lowk

[lucid scarab]

I am going to look up which operator i have with the best drone recharge rate

[outer gyro]

mumu with rhine lab is 25% greyy alt is 23%

[undone portal]

general rule: dont spend sanity on anything your base already passively generates

[jolly dawn]

who should i e1/e2 first? proviso for base right?

[royal swan]

there's a base guide

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zYc2JU46X0XWmV7s1503bN4feRdOMa1eehrTQ2jGaiE/edit?gid=1263834449#gid=1263834449

note do not e2 anyone that isn't proviso if ur doing it for the base

[ruby osprey]

How good is warmy for base

[undone portal]

proviso e2 + all the e1 baseworkers you havent raised yet
you can use your baseworkers as filler for your squad while you work on raising your combat regulars

[royal swan]

i would do proviso unless u desperately need a power spike for some time limited event (which i doubt u will anyway)

she pays back the lmd within half a year or so after which ur just making a profit

[ruby osprey]

I mean ato is still on

[outer gyro]

the same as some e1 skills lol

[ruby osprey]

Ok but im desperate for gold ops

[royal swan]

unless they can build something right now that changes how many stages they can clear in the 1.something days ato is still up for

[warm lichen]

Is necrass module lvl 3 is good to get?

[jolly dawn]

ty! (to both)

[royal swan]

needs 2, not worth it

[ruby osprey]

Im still being forced to use standardization ops for my off rotation for gold

[undone portal]

just a generic gold worker assuming e2. good if you would be building her anyway, not worth doing entirely for that
enables alanna, but alanna also asks for robots in your powerplants, which many other teams usually dont want

[novel parcel]

May I ask for help, I need friend with someone with Ines ( M3 ) that I add

[ruby osprey]

I dont even put shit in my power plants to begin with

[outer gyro]

ps and gravel are accessible bryo is the same and free and only needs e0 to be as good as e2 warmy

[gray mulch]

Are you actually gonna use warmy outside of base tho

[regal phoenix]

How to play the ato mini game info broker? Is it kinda boring?

[royal swan]

#friend-id is better for this

do u mean mod 3 or skill m3 and if skill, which skill
