help

[raven ermine]

Not much we can do about that, just focus or smth

[iron dirge]

Doesn't work even when I watch it over and over

[coarse notch]

are you playing talons or lamp

[waxen dove]

lamp

[copper oracle]

haruka has a hand right?

[abstract mauve]

i had to check. she doesnt seem to

wait. she might

[coarse notch]

fuck nah, you have three hands bro

[copper oracle]

🤔 decel and abjurer shared hands in is4 iirc i just dont remember in is5

[gray mulch]

I'm not seeing sash2 event in krooster's event tracker. Did I fuck up smth or

[ancient current]

she has one in is4 no

i forgot

[abstract mauve]

i remember silence2 gives hand. so im assuming haruka does

[coarse notch]

rumble, mystery, and buckler, your lamp is fucked beyond belief

[copper oracle]

same subclass so ya

[waxen dove]

abjurers have a hand

[abstract mauve]

hand of buckler ye it's in is5 as well

[copper oracle]

its 2026 how are we still handmixing bro 💀

[coarse notch]

wait its four hands and two books LOL

[copper oracle]

dawg this is why ur losing
handmixing bad

[waxen dove]

wtf am i supposed to do bro
WTF is hand mixing dawg i play ak for lappland alter 3

[copper oracle]

dont draft units that have hands outside of ur main hand?

[coarse notch]

when you use lamp you should only be using operators that correspond to one hand relic
maybe two if you really know what you're doing with drafting

[waxen dove]

and what hand should i aim for

[raven ermine]

Just checked, it's there
Maybe you already added it to your depot or smth

[copper oracle]

rosmo greyalter

[plain hemlock]

you force hands depending on the archetypes on your squad. if you have too many certain archetypes, you will roll for the hands instead of guaranteeing, say wis hand

[waxen dove]

and why? when i can just get 2-3 hands easily

[copper oracle]

at the cost of not getting king relics

[coarse notch]

you give up squad development when you are forced to go wish fulfilled
are you shop robbing

[waxen dove]

Ion have both 🪫🪫

[copper oracle]

each hand mean u need to waste another wish node, for not much power gain lol

[copper oracle]

borrow rosmo and draft wisadel later then

[raven ermine]

You're slowing down your kings relics and skipping combats nodes, etc

[waxen dove]

Ion have wisadel too bro
Worst decision my acc is bricked

[copper oracle]

????

[abstract mauve]

just wait for wang 🤫

[copper oracle]

what do u have then bruh omg

[waxen dove]

i have everything meta except trag and wis

[abstract mauve]

so you dont have everything meta

[plain hemlock]

that's like 50% of the meta

[waxen dove]

i started this acc after wis

[coarse notch]

https://is-central.github.io/is5-sarkaz/sniper-med-rosmontis/#_top
just read this and adapt it for your strategy

[copper oracle]

play gvg then
hoederer m3 core
then u can draft other shit like mlynar sakiko ulp

[waxen dove]

i got fucked in trag

[gray mulch]

how do I get it back I tried the reset button

[coarse notch]

or read the one by mei for vgg

[copper oracle]

stop calling it vgg bruh

[abstract mauve]

gvg. calling it vgg is fraud behavior

[waxen dove]

hnm
i haven’t built hoe but i’ll try

[copper oracle]

hes kinda expensive to build 😢

[waxen dove]

hm
i have resources left
im only orundum farming

[coarse notch]

it just keeps getting worse

[copper oracle]

he is unironically m9 mod3 for is5 😇

[waxen dove]

i don’t mind

[iron dirge]

ExuAlter and HoshiAlter the other 50%?

[copper oracle]

damn alr 🔥

[abstract mauve]

hoshialter?? no

[iron dirge]

Ah who's the 25% then

[abstract mauve]

wang

[waxen dove]

Im so getting wisadel and trag this year bro

[coarse notch]

wang probably

[iron dirge]

Yeah but he doesn't exist in global servers yet so who is it currently

[coarse notch]

ok but in all seriousness t1 amiya should be easy on d17 if you handmix like 2 hands

[copper oracle]

sexu ela bro 🚬

[waxen dove]

need t3

[raven ermine]

Been a while since i used that feature on krooster, i usually avoid doing it and just get excess mats for the future
It should appear in your event tracker, even if you did empty the mats to depot

[coarse notch]

t3 is harder but still very possible

[waxen dove]

Ela my ahh

[copper oracle]

bro ela is broken

[iron dirge]

Ehat

[abstract mauve]

hater behavior

[raven ermine]

If it does not, try reseting and importing everything again

[coarse notch]

are you doing 135

[waxen dove]

i mean jts obv possible

[copper oracle]

what part of this is not clear

[coarse notch]

135 should make it pretty attainable

[waxen dove]

well if thats true i’ll try that

[coarse notch]

are you shop robbing

[waxen dove]

just talk to me in normal words bro

[abstract mauve]

robbing shop very crucial

[iron dirge]

Wait from the R6 collab

[raven ermine]

and do you get the wish nodes afterward too

[coarse notch]

robbing cannot for ingots

[copper oracle]

yes

[plain hemlock]

are you robbing the shop?

[abstract mauve]

[waxen dove]

Yes

[raven ermine]

Are you grabbing chalice

[gray mulch]

Oh I got it thanks lol

[coarse notch]

are you getting all 112 ingots and getting chalice + toy

[copper oracle]

ela is op op

[sly ermine]

Hey, is it worth to reroll for the current banner target?

[waxen dove]

Fuck no

[coarse notch]

thats a massive problem and run ending

[raven ermine]

Well there's one issue

[abstract mauve]

then you robbing didnt help then

[copper oracle]

it depends on how much u value your time

[abstract mauve]

literally robbing for 0 gain

[coarse notch]

you cannot leak a single chest when robbing shop unless you have knight lance pro

[sly ermine]

I dont rlly value my time

[copper oracle]

reroll for logos then

[bleak crown]

Why is RM-H5 to RM-H6 locked

[sly ermine]

Aye, thank you

[sleek finch]

if you dont value your time, you could have reroll for multiple of them 6* too

[cinder stag]

huh? is robbing cannot a thing or are u guys joking about it

[copper oracle]

u unlock it by investing 100 ingots first

[raven ermine]

It is a thing, and pretty important too

[coarse notch]

very much a thing

[abstract mauve]

it's meta for is5 ye
and all IS but like is5 is more crucial

[cinder stag]

is it the "can cannot show you his wares" thing or smth like that?

[waxen dove]

its true

[bleak crown]

It is a must to rob cannot so you can get more ware

[copper oracle]

yes

[plain hemlock]

click it a few more times

[cinder stag]

i thought that was just an useless node 🤦‍♂️
How do u do it

[copper oracle]

robbing is always good cos u get free relics

[coarse notch]

and important for is6 too
but yea is5 shop rob usually determines the fate of your run assuming average rng elsewhere

[waxen dove]

Even i read that much

[safe tundra]

erm

[copper oracle]

u click on the button that says rob
then u fight him and if u win u get all his shit for free

[acoustic kindle]

ideas on current banner ? logos/ascalon/thorns vs fiammetta/penance vs schwarz/eyjafjalla

[raven ermine]

Skip all

[waxen dove]

he disappears after tho

[coarse notch]

but yea, perfect the shop rob and bring two frds to amiya and it should be a free win

[languid swallow]

Thats why you rob him late

[copper oracle]

obv u robbed him...

[cinder stag]

oh, wow
i c, thanks for showing me a mechanic i had 0 idea about lol

[waxen dove]

No i want more shit

[plain hemlock]

No, save your stuff.

[coarse notch]

you only go shop a maximum of 2/3 times during a run

[copper oracle]

damn bro wants an easy target

[languid swallow]

Yes let me return and open shop to the person who robbed my shit

[copper oracle]

is4...

[bleak crown]

The next RM-H5 to H6 locked so need to wait few more days?

[waxen dove]

🤣🤣🤣

[languid swallow]

Fib its ok, calm your elitist urges you can do it

[plain hemlock]

technically he does it on the next run

[waxen dove]

Expensive goes brr

[languid swallow]

Each run is its own parallel universe 🤫

[abstract mauve]

i mean shop in IS2 isnt a bad idea either. the mode gives you fuck all for hope/deployment slots otherwise

[copper oracle]

shop in is2 is good, it just literally has a negative spawn rate or smthing

[abstract mauve]

cannot knows you robbed him in another universe tho he just lets you buy stuff from him for the love of the game

[waxen dove]

Just like i put all my money on stake after losing a grand yesterday
jts love

[abstract mauve]

natural selection

[copper oracle]

obv its cos cannot wants revenge so he allows u to fight again 🤫

[waxen dove]

Dumb bitch dies every time

[plain hemlock]

Darwin can't stop gaining more evidence 🚬

[waxen dove]

what to finish first? QOL is also kinda important for me

[coarse notch]

i was talking about is5 specifically where you shop twice and refresh the f6 shop if you already robbed
unless you're playing shop squad or something

[short steppe]

I have succesffuly E2'd Shamare and Tequila to put in my base

Anyone else I should pair with those two or just plop them in together

[coarse notch]

is5 is the only one that is easily cheesed
is2 is a pain in the ass
is4 start is kinda cancerous but its easily cleared with exu2 nowadays
take your pick

[wispy ridge]

hello is there any guide to speed run is5 for rewards?

[raven ermine]

bibeak/kafka/paprika/diamante
Careful, the order that you put them in is relevant
Pretty sure they never fixed that issue

[waxen dove]

is2 is SUCH a pain genuinely
can’t get my attention span to do it
is4 is kinda easy tho
but is3 isn’t hard too

[short steppe]

There is a specific order I have to put them in?

[coarse notch]

yea so just take your pick, not much of a difference if you're just farming for rewards

[raven ermine]

Yeah, tailoring > shamare > tequila

[short steppe]

Should it should be in that order specifically

[raven ermine]

Yes, basically bibeak needs to be in slot1

[tulip inlet]

Are any of these skins temporary like the Collab skins?

[waxen dove]

yeah rewards only

[plain hemlock]

they rerun eventually

[short steppe]

Is it a bug or just something else entirely?

[waxen dove]

any idea when chapter 16 and how many

[severe crypt]

Legally no exact date

[waxen dove]

Illegally

[coarse notch]

play support squad until you unlock blueprint squad
blueprint squad -> wisadel/gummy/click or indigo -> grab lamp of wishes from fated encounter node on floor 1-> overload mental burden to bring life points to 1, refresh every combat node (except shop node) into a wish fulfilled and grab the relevant hand/kings and whatever is good after -> unload thoughts before floor 5 boss -> oneshot fremont with wis -> repeat on d10 forever

[severe crypt]

Rule 5

[waxen dove]

Yes we shouldn’t say
OP tho

[short steppe]

Anyone else or is bibeak the best option?

[severe crypt]

I think hermitzplanner would have the total op but there maybe other sources I’m not thinking of

[coarse notch]

it does, 43 op

[severe crypt]

Yeah that figure makes sense

[wispy ridge]

nice thanks

[wispy ridge]

do i need to recruit tin man?

[coarse notch]

no

if you happen to get a voucher in the shop for specialist then you can recruit whoever you want
your only goal is to promote wisadel, then you just win

[raven ermine]

It's not really a bug (well depend how you see it), just a lack of QOL
Basically tailoring ops ramp up over a few hours, if you shift ops in your trading post, and their order changes, they'll reset the ramp up time to zero

bibeak/kafka/diamante/paprika are basically the same and interchangeable
I would not e2 kafka tho, for gameplay reasons

[wispy ridge]

w for the win

[coarse notch]

f2 always has a scout node btw, so wisadel should always be e2ed by f3

[short steppe]

Alright- cause I currently don't have Bibeak but can pick her up for 40 gold certs; which im hesitant to do mainly because im saving my certs for SAalter for pulls. . .

If Kafka/diamante/paprika are basically the same- would it be better to just use one of them instead?

[coarse notch]

yea just use diamante and paprika

[raven ermine]

Yeah, ofc, if you have access to those, don't spend certs

[short steppe]

aight- and just pair one of them with Tequila and Shamane

[raven ermine]

If you're using fia to reset tequila shamare, you want 2
If not, one is enough

[short steppe]

Im using Fia to reset Proviso atm

[raven ermine]

With mlynar in cc you can reset 3 ops

[short steppe]

Really?-

With just fia?- I currently have him in the cc right now

I thought it was single use for fia

[raven ermine]

Yes, you alternate between proviso-shamare-tequila, if your timing is right, you should be able to permanently maintain them

It is single use, you wait for her to rest up, and you do it again on another unit

It's a bit restricting because you need to log in at specific times tho

[short steppe]

Ah- so that would be a downside when doing that method

For Kafka- E1 is the desired level?

[raven ermine]

Yes, but base optimization is pretty much always higher gains for more inputs anyway
Like with gladiia for downtime for example

[short steppe]

Ever since I fixed my base which was not too long ago now- I've been seeing massive returns so im trying to get my base in an even better spot

[coarse notch]

e0

[raven ermine]

No, tailoring improves at e2
So either e0 or e2
Kafka is a rare case as she's better at e0 for gameplay

[crystal holly]

is yu s3 better than s2 with tragodia?

[coarse notch]

hell no

[short steppe]

So basically like Jaye

[crystal holly]

o ok

[coarse notch]

kafka gameplay wants her at e0 for reduced dp cost

[raven ermine]

Well jaye kept at e0 is for base reasons, not gameplay
Basically kafka does not care for stats, skill levels, only dp cost

[short steppe]

Aight- so the first pair should be
Kafka E0 - Shamane E2 - Tequila E2

[frosty flame]

Should I ever negotiate for orundum instead of lmd?

I tried to look stuff up online and it talks abt different tiers or whatev but I dont see any of that in the negotiations tab

[short steppe]

Im guessing I should replace the Gummy - Midnight - Catapult format and replace it with Kafka - Shamane - Tequila

My second format is SilverAsh - Jaye - Degenbrecher with Gnosis in the CC

[raven ermine]

No, it's a thing you do when you're done raising everything, and i do mean, everything
And clearing everything, farming everything for the next 6 months, etc
Tho some may argue you're never done raising units even

[frosty flame]

Alrighty then

[short steppe]

Im going to assume I shouldn't change my second format

unless you have other ideas

[raven ermine]

If you have proviso, you should

One tp should be highest prod proviso, and the other one shamteq

[short steppe]

Proviso already has her own TP

Here- let me get a picture

[raven ermine]

You don't need a second rotation if you're using fia
But in the offchance you mess up rotation, or don't want to bother with it, sure, just put your best tp team possible for shamare's downtime

[short steppe]

that is currently my setup for Trading posts

[raven ermine]

Tho i'm pretty sure degen is bad (someone correct me if i'm wrong) in kjerag's team

[short steppe]

I was told that she would work if I had Gnosis in the CC; which I do during their rotation

[severe crypt]

She’s not terrible, but not the bis for Karlan

Swalter takes her place in the best Karlan team

[raven ermine]

Yeah actually i just checked the spreadsheet, she's decent, not as bad as i thought

[short steppe]

Im still building ops and rn SwireAlter is down in my priority list atm

[raven ermine]

My only issue with kjerag's tp is that it's using a cc slot, but if you don't have better things to put there, it's fine

[frosty flame]

Orienteering never has any sort of duplicate 6 star protection right?

[severe crypt]

I just e2ed swalter only for Karlan 🤫

[ancient current]

nope

[short steppe]

I wanted to use the Sui team but I don't have ChongeYu

[coral narwhal]

does rebuilding mandate actually increase your character level and promote outside the game mode

[coarse notch]

no, that'd be op

[ancient current]

that would honestly be awful

[raven ermine]

What about IS 🥹

[short steppe]

I was also told Totter is good for Karlan if I remember

[outer hazel]

when can i go to get help in SN side story, its strategy right?

[raven ermine]

totter is a factory skill, so i think you're mistaken
Tho i never looked into it, so i might be wrong

Just did, totter is pretty bad

[short steppe]

Should I remove him from my list of ops to build

[severe crypt]

I haven’t touched is in like 2 months 🚬 but Idt she’s allat with is mod, the is sweats could correct me tho

[outer hazel]

?

[raven ermine]

If you were building him for base, yes, unless you need more factory workers
Basically a slight improvement over 25% workers in the first 12h

[raven ermine]

Yeah afaik she's not that good, but what about fun

[formal shadow]

not terrible but merchant L + spec L

[nova nest]

What chapters / sidestories to play before Dossoles Holiday for story? Nothing?

[formal shadow]

you can just do DH right away

[severe crypt]

Just skip the story if you don’t wanna be spoiled

Not like the summertime beats storyline is crucial to main campaign

[formal shadow]

I guess like right after the lungmen arc it where it takes place storywise?

so you at least know who ch'en is

[nova nest]

Yea, that was my question basically- what to read so I wouldn't need to skip?

I've finished Chapter 7 in main story

[short steppe]

Anyone better than Kafka?

[copper oracle]

just play the events in release order if u care abt lore shit

[severe crypt]

Maybe ask #ak-lore for exact details, but overall most side story lines are generally separate from main chapters

[formal shadow]

they're all the same, pick your flavor

[daring knot]

https://www.canva.com/design/DAHBABXJpds/tgUQ72n0pCw8HHq56-OBOA/view?utm_content=DAHBABXJpds&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h3e035b7dce

here

[abstract mauve]

kafka is different :aware:

[daring knot]

I used the exceptional appointment to get efja alter but she isn’t appearing in my squad??

[nova nest]

Do you have her?

Also, there's a thread for new game mode

[severe crypt]

#1480479361885933792

[formal shadow]

different in that I won't e1 her :clueless:

[short steppe]

Kafka it is then lol

[copper oracle]

nop kafka is diff cos she gets worse at e2 (in combat)

[formal shadow]

I forgor if I ever e2'd bibeak

[copper oracle]

e2 bibeak for cheeto bibeak permastun

[formal shadow]

I never tried it

[abstract mauve]

cheeto sash1 gnosis already perma freeze but no target cap

[safe tundra]

dorothy s2 irene s1 ahh comp

[copper oracle]

3 slots ‼️

[raven ermine]

If you're planning to e2, might as well wait for paprika or diamante
tho paprika is +7 tp in cc slot, so it depends if you have alternatives or not

[copper oracle]

nop cheeto bibeak has wu cang applications

[raven ermine]

Using e0 tailoring for now is not really the worst thing

[formal shadow]

but that'd mean giving bibeak masteries

[cinder terrace]

I'm getting to the point where I'm not sure about my next upgrade priorities and wondering if I could get any generic advice if anyone has free time, I'm currently working on trust for Logos to upgrade his module but besides that any other priorities jumping out?

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

[copper oracle]

u dont have bibeak masteries wrfart 💔

[formal shadow]

no because I never use her

[copper oracle]

time to start building ur ops

[subtle dawn]

Is it worth it to use sanity on LMD stages?

[formal shadow]

you're right. On my way to Shaw s2m3

[raven ermine]

mod2 for surtr, mod3 logos
e1 roberta for base, sl7 tequila

[copper oracle]

i have shaw s2 and it sux

[formal shadow]

that's why I did shaw s1m3 first

[short steppe]

Is it possible to share Goals in Krooster- or when I send my account?

[raven ermine]

You mean your planner ?

[short steppe]

indeed

[raven ermine]

Idt that's possible
You can screenshot the right side i suppose

[rain forge]

you can take a screenshot ig

[short steppe]

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

Aside from the ops im currently building; most the 6 stars on the list is just module work- who else should I build

[rain forge]

expand what the goals actually are

[short steppe]

aight- lemme do that real quick

[rain forge]

for all we know everyone there could be e2 max m9/6 mod3

[short steppe]

Ill just do the 6 stars cause the 5-3 stars are basically just for base purposes

[rain forge]

there arent any 5* ops there

[short steppe]

There was- I forgot it automatically removes them; Tequila and Shamane

[rain forge]

[copper oracle]

[chrome epoch]

is mon3tr s2m3 worth

[winter crystal]

Main skill for healing/buffs yeah

[raven ermine]

You don't have e1 purestream which is a very good base slave
e1 roberta/perfumer if you need more fac workers
Ceobe modx3 which is not included
mizuki with is mod
surtr s3m3 mod2
ela s3m3 mod3 which is a big deal

You can consider dorothy, suzuran, ifrit, weedy as their niche comes up here and there

[winter crystal]

No need for Mlynar any lvl 80

[raven ermine]

Stop at level 60 for most of those, you'll go to 90 when you're done with raising everything

[short steppe]

I only do lvl 90 for limited ops

[copper oracle]

dorothy isnt real

[raven ermine]

Ig she's not used anymore yeah
Used her a lot in RAcc tho

[short steppe]

I thought about building her and pairing her with Ela on stages just to see what silly nonsense I can do

[gray mulch]

What's bibeak used in

[winter crystal]

Base, also can stun

[copper oracle]

cheeto permastun in d18 amiya relicless

[raven ermine]

Trapmasters are fun to play with, sure
Dorothy has good options for global stalling, but it's a niche that she's getting pushed out of by tragodia

[gray mulch]

[copper oracle]

🧑‍💻

[copper oracle]

wang...

[short steppe]

So basically I should add:

• E1 Purestream - base usage
• E1 Roberta/ Perfumer - factory usage
• Finish Ceobe's Mod
• Mizuki + mod
• Surtr s3m3 Mod2
• Ela s3m3 Mod3

[winter crystal]

Even without any support the big golems can be stun locked until death with a solo bibeak

[copper oracle]

wang s2 is 100% slow 🗣️

[raven ermine]

Well yeah, obviously 🥹

[raven ermine]

Forgot logos mod, but sure, sounds like a plan

[copper oracle]

damn cc4 technologies 👴

[winter crystal]

I used her once just for a vector mission

[short steppe]

There is so much to build now

[wild cedar]

We’d still suggest leave out the 60-90 part for all your op

[native cargo]

Is it still possible to have krooster dupe

[slate ridge]

depends

[native cargo]

How

[gray mulch]

So it's not as niche as fib made it sound lol

[slate ridge]

have to wait for duplication bug to come back

[vale rampart]

also i forgot to ask what team can I build with the operators i have to clear story stages ?

[slate ridge]

tho the last duplication was Mumu release ?
or was it IS6 usual skin change

[winter crystal]

Literally just used her for vector stuff I’m not crazy enough for relicless D18 💀

[wild cedar]

I felt like the response you got already answers this

Or go to pins Roadless Camelot and find team building guide

[dark brook]

why the improved witchcraft altar doesnt teleport enemy when they walk past it

[slate ridge]

because you cant get there without stairs

[wild cedar]

Is it the yu teleport code

[slate ridge]

pretty much every pathing works the same

theres no path from teleporter to Ulpi

[dark brook]

okae

[short steppe]

wait there is only 1 Surtr mod

[raven ermine]

Mod2 is the level

[short steppe]

Im updating my Krooster now- do you mean mod- ah

Why not level three?

[vagrant locust]

Im guessing these will open in 2 days?

[odd sky]

bad value

[raven ermine]

Modblocks are an heavily timegated ressource, so you avoid spending more than you need to
Surtr module has the most of the upgrade unlocked between mod lv1-2, mod3 being wasteful in comparison

[short steppe]

So despite her stat increase- it'll actually be worse to invest resources into her

[obtuse obsidian]

Lots of module get much smaller upgrade from 2 to 3

Just like how leveling from 60 to 90 aint worth it

[raven ermine]

well it won't ever be worse, the module lv3 will make her slightly better
It's just too expensive for the small increase you'd get

[short steppe]

aight- ill place it as lvl 2 for now then

[cobalt hemlock]

i need a moderator

[undone portal]

nowhere near as interesting as s2 im afraid. status res would be cool if she could have it for more than 12sec
if i wanted a defender with a 15sp def.rec skill for maintaining personal survivability i would just bring hung and get a team healer out of it

[short steppe]

What do you need a moderator for?

[hexed adder]

The same time with next phase rewards yea

[severe crypt]

Well rechords here I think

[cobalt hemlock]

okay word

[short steppe]

He typically is lurking in the background

[severe crypt]

Maybe? Just ping him or smth

[cobalt hemlock]

who the fuck is rechords

[raven ermine]

The man you seek

[undone portal]

i just pinged him myself so surely

[short steppe]

A moderator

[obtuse obsidian]

The mod who mod the idiots around here

[severe crypt]

Or light

[cobalt hemlock]

not the #help moderators

[ancient current]

hi what's up
you can DM if anything

[nimble kite]

I mean, you can just DM. Even better to admins directly, if something fishy happens.

[short steppe]

Why was Mizuki included btw?

[raven ermine]

Because with his IS module, he's very good for IS
if that's not something you're interested in, you can skip

[cobalt hemlock]

okay dmed

[obtuse obsidian]

Also is module are cheap

[short steppe]

Ohhhh- I mean I do want to complete IS5 and potentially 4- plus getting his live2D skin would be nice . . . although he's not a priority but ill include him

[turbid ocean]

You don't DM admin unless a mod can't help you

[obtuse obsidian]

It take 1 module block per level

Unlike normal module that take 4 per level and extra mats

[nimble kite]

I do, if there's a delicate matter.

[raven ermine]

tf would you need the admin for

[severe crypt]

Bro wants to be the next puffy

[short steppe]

What skill mastery for him? Mizuki

[obtuse obsidian]

Only s2 m3 tbh

[nimble kite]

Asking if I can post that (that would make an arson on whole server, so I was suggested to not).

It was about Ulpianus banner matter.

But moving on, nothing help related, really.

[short steppe]

Holy- the amount of resources ill need is actually crazy

[raven ermine]

Eh

[short steppe]

So- ugh . . . Yeah am I cooked with all these resources

Is the best way to get these going through reward passes in IS and events when they come around

[raven ermine]

Tbf it's not that much, you'll get used to it
Just prio what you raise correctly, and yes, plan ahead with the 6 month gap from CN on what you should farm on each event
If you didn't clear IS rewards, those will cover a big part of those expenses

Click "craft" on each t4/t5 mat, because what you're really farming are the t3s

[hybrid halo]

what's this?

[short steppe]

Mastery of a skill

Or All three skills are M3'd

[raven ermine]

This icon mean this skalter is m9

[short steppe]

This- M9'd Skalter

[hybrid halo]

wow thanks

[short steppe]

So the IS stages should cover a majority of these funds; based on the resources they provide . . . will it be enough to cover all the expenses or a majority

[raven ermine]

A majority
And farming all IS ressources will take you quite a long time, don't burn yourself out on it

[short steppe]

Should I re-organize these ops into priority

[raven ermine]

My not up to date planner for example

[earnest sparrow]

hello. how did efficient stages get decided in #bot-spam /materials ? is it empirical?

[ionic bramble]

worth raising if im in need of a medic?

[ancient current]

no. rather use ansel

[raven ermine]

https://penguin-stats.io/
Is basically where all that data came from

[severe crypt]

What are all your medics looking like

[short steppe]

Let me guess;

• Base ops priority; for greater return in the base
• Meta Ops; i.e., Wis'adel - Mylnar - Logos - Shikio - Ines
  • SAalter - I already saved for his lvl up so he'll be E2 lvl 90 when I get him
• Casual use ops; Surtr - Ceobe - Mizuki - Ela - Golden glow

Something like that?

[severe crypt]

Surely you don’t only have ansel as your possible best medic

[ancient current]

it combines data from known drop rates, penguinstats sampling data, and takes into account side drops, which is why it differs from what penguinstats tells you

[ionic bramble]

Only have regular hibiscus levelled rn

[opal tundra]

What’s the best arts dealers and medic I feel like I’m missing those as the only main units along with a sniper but I got those covered

[raven ermine]

Also sanity calcs take into account byproducts, for t2 rocks for example

[severe crypt]

Send a pic of all of them

[short steppe]

Best Arts Medic is still Nightengale, correct?

[ancient current]

against high arts pressure, yes

[short steppe]

Wis'adel remains as the best sniper

Arts damage- im not sure on that front sadly

[opal tundra]

Idk I just came back from hiatus

[ancient current]

we've got logos, reed alt as great arts dmg dealers
haruka, eyjalter are the best medics we have

though it would help more to see your roster

[raven ermine]

Would do
E1 base (obviously, cheap af)
wis-logos-ela-mlynar-sakiko-ines-sash2 when you get him
Base e2s
ceobe-mizuki-surtr
The rest

[short steppe]

Anyone from my list I should remove?

[trim garnet]

on april paid selector whats the latest operator? will there be a haruka on it?

[ancient current]

that was... a long hiatus indeed
you can keep using who you have, and aim for banner priorities in pins

[ancient current]

mon3ter

and no, no haruka

[opal tundra]

Are they not good also where tier list

[trim garnet]

how about on wang banner? will there be a selector and whos the latest if theres one?

[raven ermine]

would remove totter personally
The rest is fine, gg is on the lowest priority side, but if you have nothing else to raise atp you can work on her, tho i doubt that will be the case

[ancient current]

we don't have generalistic tier lists. they do not work for this game
your units are fine, though outdated, but they'll still perform well enough for general content

[ancient current]

haven't heard of a selector on wang

[short steppe]

Indeed- considering I also have plans on getting Wang when he releases- so I've got a lot of ops ahead of her . .

PLUS- I have Lappland Alter so-

[opal tundra]

Can I get a good sample team so I have something to base it off of

[earnest sparrow]

wang when btw?

[short steppe]

approx. 4 months

[ancient current]

give me a moment

[trim garnet]

okok thanks

[short steppe]

@raven ermine how do I set up the groups like you did; still new to Krooster

[earnest sparrow]

then is it better to not pull on next banners until wang? because I've got only 110 pulls right now and I don't think it will be possible to save as many for wang if I pull for s alter

[frail thunder]

Is ascalon s1m2 to m3 any significant increase?

[ancient current]

it would help to see all your units
you can make yourself a https://krooster.com/data/import

[short steppe]

That really depends; SAalter is and will replace Ines as the best vanguard and will be a great pick-up . . . although I don't know much about wang but I also heard he's busted and really good

[severe crypt]

Salter is NOT replacing Ines

[raven ermine]

New goal > Goal group > add new

Then you can move things around

[short steppe]

As someone with a SilverAsh bias- yes he is lol

[ancient current]

i mean if you are already at m2 do m3. no point in stopping at m2 ever. it's an ok increase

[opal tundra]

Ok I’ll do in when not driving

[severe crypt]

You were driving

[raven ermine]

Like buddy that's not good

[signal swan]

Event question. Cursed Bloodgrounds says it can combine with some kind of object I do not recognize to become Impact Fence. The object does not appear to be any of the available modules. How do I upgrade Cursed Bloodground?

[abstract mauve]

ask in #1480479361885933792. also can you send a screenshot there?

[coarse tide]

Can i tell u not to use it

[abstract mauve]

first time hearing of it so seems like a fair thing to say

[short steppe]

E1 base would include

• Steward
• Perfumer
• Frostleaf
• Shirayuki
• Roberta
• Purestream

[frail thunder]

I mean the reason I stopped at m2 is cause of the 8sec to 7, but thanks

[abstract mauve]

m2 is an ok stopping point here ye. she gets the sp cost down
-# it just looks ugly is the only downside and her s2 is generally way better

[frail thunder]

Sometimes I’m just lazy to manually click

[short steppe]

How do I send ops into that group . . .

NVM- found out how

[bold trout]

Does Tragodia need another Nervous Impairment unit or can he just go ham by himself?

[ancient current]

he works by himself

[coarse tide]

He works with his own stupid cat

[ancient current]

ritualist supporters are actually the ones who are made to apply the elemental effect and support primal casters of that elemental type
they are enablers, not the ones to be enabled

[waxen dove]

stupid question but can someone defeat is5 ed5 with reserve ops only? guided tour difficulty

[bleak wave]

Is the is3 welfare better than hummus?

[coarse notch]

guided tour is is6

[waxen dove]

whatever
d0

[coarse notch]

probably not, you dont have a frd or the damage

[waxen dove]

any ending?

[short steppe]

Aight- look better @raven ermine ?

[coarse notch]

well yea, ed1-4 have been beaten with 0 ops

[waxen dove]

hm
alr tx

[coarse notch]

they just leak the boss
ed5 is a guaranteed loss no matter your life points if you dont kill the boss

[coarse notch]

technically yea but realistically no since humus is drafted for his 0 hope cost

[bleak wave]

I mean in general gameplay but in is probably

[coarse notch]

highmore isnt really worth the investment for general content

[raven ermine]

Sure, as long as you're happy with it, my planner is usually messy af
Very much a personal thing atp

[short steppe]

I can actually complete all my base ops today; I have the materials for it but Im not sure they'd work in my current set-up

[waxen dove]

https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/lapplandroyale

review pls

[bleak wave]

It's mostly because i like her, but i still wanna know if she's better than hummus

[coarse notch]

they're about the same, highmore might have a slight edge due to having a higher atk stat from being a higher rarity

[tired pewter]

she also gets double attack on s1 where humus only gets a single hit

[abstract mauve]

humus also has higher dph and a barrier that lets him survive the episode 10 cannon

[sleek finch]

when you take stages in consideration, disregard investment cost
humus scale up far better until chapter 10+ since he can actually tanks thing

[abstract mauve]

i'd personally just say that humus is better

[bleak wave]

Thanks

Realistically i need neither coz i have entelechia but i do like knowing why stuff works so i appreciate the explanation

~~Also they're all pretty so they will all get leveled at some point ~~

[boreal steeple]

Humus is goated, i can confirm after rebuilding mandate

[slate ridge]

at that point wouldnt you just use Entel tho since shes guaranteed

[short steppe]

When did Ines get a module-

I just found out she has one . . .

[twin dawn]

are there any AoE casters with an offensive recovery skill?

[coarse notch]

ch15, its pretty skippable

[severe crypt]

From the aoe caster class or any caster that can do aoe

[twin dawn]

either works ig, just thinking about the aspd buff in the new event

[short steppe]

So don't bother getting the module?

[coarse notch]

just use marcille s2 then convert the outpost after she channels it twice

[severe crypt]

Yeah only Marcille seems the best option from that subclass

[severe crypt]

Other good units include Wis Lemu s1, Fia, and you could put in other auto sp regen units if you have the proper sp buffs in rm

[boreal steeple]

Just use both smh

[waxen dove]

wtf will happen no

[coarse notch]

thats ed4

[boreal steeple]

Just take every fight stage since encounters not worth unless you going for different ending

[twin dawn]

thanks

[coarse notch]

illusions in the sand is about to crater your head in if you take the encounter there

dont buy horizon invitation unless you're going for ed4

[bitter hornet]

if i use fia and logos in rm, i should to bring archive for their outpost?

[short steppe]

Aside from these operators; considering they'll be finished today

Are there other good base ops I should build or look into later down the road- or are these serviceable for awhile

@raven ermine

[bold trout]

Eyja1 s2 is main skill right?

[atomic pecan]

How should I build ulpianus, hoshi alter, and Saki. Which ones do I need to unlock module and should i mastery any of their skills

[ancient current]

s3m3, s3m3, s3m3 mod2+

[severe crypt]

Fia wants advance detector, logos s1 would want archive

[boreal steeple]

So you finishing down ops from #bot-spam /baseskills right? You can look into #r-i-i-c pins for further base ops then

[neat spear]

Does Mon3tr hav 2 personalities or what

[urban sleet]

#ak-lore

[bitter hornet]

thx

[untold snow]

Wat does the sui body thing give?

[twilit owl]

ed2

[silver smelt]

defeating it allows u to do ed2

[untold snow]

Uhhh ed2 ?

[silver smelt]

ending 2

[untold snow]

Should i do it. I did it before once

[urban sleet]

You get a foot stomping on you every fight until you shave off 50% hp, which gives the relic for ending 2

[silver smelt]

i forgot ,does the sui foot do the successive stomps in regular stages?

[untold snow]

I remember it does but should i do it again

[sleek estuary]

Why must your module need to be stuck?

[untold snow]

Wdym?

[silver smelt]

do you haev the unit yourself?

[scarlet rampart]

I already had sakiko togawa when should i do another gacha?

[sleek estuary]

I dont have her. Arent the units supposed to unlock the module once they reach lv 40-50-60?

[urban sleet]

Banner pull priority in pins

[willow thorn]

Hi. How Defense shred is calculated in the game?

[untold snow]

U need the module to get ut. Lv is just requirement to unlock

Sooo should i do ending 2?

[urban sleet]

If flat it's a subtraction
If %age, well its a %age

[wispy summit]

false

[urban sleet]

Is this for bellone

[untold snow]

Should i do ending 2 😞 is6

[willow thorn]

And if you have multiple ? Like % Shred+ flat Shred. Do they stack?

Do 2 % shreds stack?

[urban sleet]

Yeah different types of shred do stack
Idr which is applied first if applied at once

[willow thorn]

And Similar types of shred? DEF% Shred? They do not?

[icy jay]

I want to replay the history, can i bought the coins for that? or its better to keep them and use it for another thing?

[urban sleet]

They don't iirc

[coarse notch]

multiple sources of % shred stack multiplicatively
flat shred goes first then %

[light latch]

AK usually does flat first then % for most things iirc

[urban sleet]

Oh they do

[willow thorn]

Oh. Many thanks

[odd sky]

you're right my bad

[light latch]

Arent these buyable in event stores occasionally

[urban sleet]

Module blocks are the most important thing in there followed by chip catalysts

[urban sleet]

Only during vignette events

[glad elm]

What are ascalon's use case?

[urban sleet]

Stall em
And s1 is something afkslop cult uses ig

[ionic herald]

Which module for blaze?

[urban sleet]

Blaze the guard or primal caster

[ionic herald]

Guard

[lone valley]

"Which" meaning theres a choice
Only guard has a choice, think :realmad:

[urban sleet]

I dont memorise mid ops having modules or not sadly

[glad elm]

So like Ethan but female and bind-less?

[lone valley]

Blaze too shit to use modblocks on
But if u so must, modX

[violet kernel]

but consistent and deals damage

[urban sleet]

Oh yeah she also has dot

[lone valley]

Much better generaly than ethan, amazing uptime, good dmg, same dot application for mechanics that need them

[ionic herald]

Lappland alter, which skill to m3?

[glad elm]

Damn OK I got lucky on that 3 free select 6* then

Also S2M3 mod X right?

[abstract mauve]

basically imagine umiri but with 50% more damage 3x better uptime no range extention and no fear application. oh and she applies slow instead of mvspd down but she also has the mvspd down module instead of umiri's dodge chance up

[lone valley]

Yes
And its not "free"

[lone valley]

Bruh why is fucking umiri your example
Noone even knows who that is

[urban sleet]

Depending on your picks for that banner you could not have been unlucky and yeah it cost you pulls

[abstract mauve]

they are using ethan to compare to ascalon. i thought maybe another ambusher would give them more perspective

[urban sleet]

Mujica propaganda, he's being held at gunpoint by fae

[glad elm]

Ray, monster and asca was my picks lmao

[glad elm]

Wait wtf is the difference between slow n mvspeed down

[lone valley]

Use kirara or manticore then

[vital kelp]

actually a lot, do u really want us to go over it?

[abstract mauve]

slow is 80% less movement speed and doesnt stack with other keyword slow abilities. mvspd down does stack with everything. slow can be resisted, generally mvspd down isnt resisted if ever

[glad elm]

Shit.. OK uh I'll just go read it somewhere

[lean pawn]

Hello here could I get some help

[severe crypt]

Is it gameplay help?

[glad elm]

OK this explains a lot thanks

[lone valley]

Nuh uh

[vital kelp]

depends, whos askin

[severe crypt]

And is it Arknights (not endfield) help

[urban sleet]

Rral quedtion^

[severe crypt]

Did your keyboard die

[lean pawn]

Well I need help with icebound valley kinda confused

[lone valley]

Thats worse typos than mine

[glad elm]

Dawg I played this game for so long I never knew slow n mvspd down is different or even exists 😭

[urban sleet]

If anythung goi g typoless for so long was a mircale

[lone valley]

Now thats just on purpose

[urban sleet]

Erm no, not correcting was tho

[severe crypt]

The annihilation stage? You can go to #strategy for stage specific help

[urban sleet]

Can also watch loe-rarity guides on yt

[lean pawn]

Right then

[vital kelp]

guys so reading bellone's kit it says he changes target if he hasnt attacked for 1 sec, what if hes disarmed does he teleport away

[urban sleet]

What does disarm do again

Andoain event snipers?

[wispy summit]

unable to normal attack

[urban sleet]

Yeah that's them, think bellone stays in that spot if no target to attack, dunno if disarm woukd change that

[ancient lintel]

you're fighting in blizzard condition, heat up the heaters to prevent yourself from freezing to death

[urban sleet]

And some hot chocolate

[vital kelp]

says in skill description tho if he doensnt attack for 1 sec he reselects target

[ancient lintel]

hit the heaters to activate them then place someone to the right of the heater to keep it permanently active

[urban sleet]

Mb my pepega brain thought disarm when no target

[coarse notch]

his s3 is actually based on if hes blocking an enemy
when his block is 0 he gets stuck in a tp loop

[vital kelp]

自身攻击的精英、领袖敌人被击倒，或自身持续1秒未进行攻击时，会立即重新选取目标

if the elite/boss enemy is knocked down, or he hasnt attacked for 1 second, immediately reselect target

what if like he teleports onto degen's face then gets disarmed but no other enemy in range what happens

[ancient lintel]

is lappland really the only solution to stultifera navis?

[urban sleet]

Stays there ig

[glad elm]

Wait just checkin, everyone uses mod x ascalon cuz mod Y is just survivability right?

[coarse notch]

cuz mody just sucks
mody is for s3 but no one uses s3

[urban sleet]

Can use event mechsnics asw, the moss doesnt spread if blocked by an operator (infects the operator's tile asw)

[glad elm]

Oh I see

[proven kelp]

Lmao no
We can just brute force that shit

[vital kelp]

no, its just the easiest and most accessible way

other options include: brute force, using other source of silence, brute force, brute force, brute force, brute force

[ancient lintel]

ye I have eyja berry for that, my problem is the guys with dodge

[lone valley]

Navis is 3 years old
Just shit on it with any new op

[urban sleet]

Why is event mechanic not among them

[coarse notch]

use a dodge ignore operator or just block the nethersea brand

[glad elm]

Wait ok so ascalon s3 is classified as "totally useless" or like "very niche use case"?

[lament loom]

U have Silence mechanic, Wandering Medic and uhh, pure brute force with modern ops

[lone valley]

Or simply elem dmg

[coarse notch]

totally useless

[urban sleet]

Or catbomb

[proven kelp]

Dodge just dies to stun or bind lmao

[vital kelp]

cuz its actually not enuff to last most of the stages

[glad elm]

Gotcha ok

[lyric lagoon]

mfw hand of saint

[coarse notch]

i guess if you need the expanded range for some reason but ive yet to see a use for ascalon s3

[urban sleet]

I mean block the brand not the slider thingy

[vital kelp]

the spike shooter gonna teach u something about not doing that if u cant kill them in time

[lyric lagoon]

me when using it as dps instead of utility

[glad elm]

I see, I guess I'mma just m6 ascalon, people sayin s1 is for afkslop right?

[proven kelp]

I'd rather use a different op for afk than her

[coarse notch]

funnily enough if ascalon is constantly attacking, her talent2 messes up her s1 timing

[urban sleet]

Afk 'slop' for a reason

[lyric lagoon]

what afk skills aren’t afk slop anyways aside from pram s2

[urban sleet]

Just heal harder the elemental dmg is stun and not more dmg iirc

[coarse notch]

weedy s2

[opal tundra]

For kroostar do I need to put all my unit or just 6 cost

[glad elm]

My ahh is just lazy dawg 😔🥀🥀

[proven kelp]

Saki s1 with Umiri s1 is peak afk

[vital kelp]

u gonna need some real healers to outheal them cuz they spawn in batches and attacks fast as shit

[coarse notch]

importing puts all of your units in

[urban sleet]

Haruka s2 mountain s2, thorns s3, mudrock s2 if we go back in time

[lyric lagoon]

mudrock 💔… wait thorns s2? don’t you mean s3

[opal tundra]

Do I need pc i cant access it rn im on my phone

[coarse notch]

weedy s2 is still the best solution to eooc bottom lane

[urban sleet]

so same as brute forcing with rarity, got it

[vital kelp]

basically

[urban sleet]

Yeah I uh edited mudrock slot with thorns there

[coarse notch]

you could probably do it with your phone

[vital kelp]

u aint tanking the spike spitter with cuora + any 3 4* healer at e1 bruh

[urban sleet]

Why is the context e1 and low rarity

[vital kelp]

if u have e2 why dont just brute force

[lyric lagoon]

I mean atp you have other events to clear, nobody is forcing you to clear SN

[urban sleet]

True that but erm wouldnt ppl without e2s use lumen

[vital kelp]

lumen hps is low

[urban sleet]

Wait fuck I misplaced his stun removal for healing mb

[vital kelp]

how many skills get interrupted by stun?

[urban sleet]

Unless its something like lee due to his talent, every skill ig
Or sth like trag since cat is not affected by trag being stummed

[wispy summit]

3 iirc

[urban sleet]

woah

[wispy summit]

hmm am I thinking something wrong again

yeah im thinking friendly paralysis

[undone portal]

3 ops dont get interrupted by stun, you mean?
lee (all skills), lessing s3, pepe s1

[astral thorn]

So ive got logos and silverash and ill ne on day 7 and get ptolsis tomorrow.

Should I throw everything into logos? Or should I e1 4 star defenders dont have the good 4 stars yet just matterhorn and bubble w a dupe bubb

[winter crystal]

And like they said earlier you can use the ops deployables while they are stunned but can’t use their skills like deepcolors skill no but can still place down tentacles

[raven ermine]

Well tbf, pepe remove status, she's not immune to it

[lament loom]

I assume its because Summons count as separate entity

[lone valley]

No skills get interupted by stuns
Since most skills are just atk behaviour changes, so stun would just make the op stop acting but skill would skill continue to tick off
Prolly the only skills that stun can fully kill is shit like, channeling on marcile, gummy s2 cooking(?) And like, powerstrike skills if its frame perfect and ulpi moving with s3

[mellow mural]

How much does a full page of level 90 6 stars cost?

[astral thorn]

Any advice on who to build ? My logos is skill 4 e1 lvl 57 im on day 6

[undone portal]

raise your whole team to e1lv40ish, then focus logos

[raven ermine]

Never saw the ulpi interaction you're talking about tbf

[astral thorn]

Even the defenders matterhorn and bubble?

[lament loom]

Very expensive (idk the exact cost), especially from lvl 60 to lvl 90 if u commit that much. Make sure ur base is decent

[astral thorn]

Also is click worth building

[undone portal]

replace matterhorn with cuora if you have her, but yes, your whole team will appreciate the stats and e1lv40 is a pretty cheap investment

[raven ermine]

With logos you should be fine

[winter crystal]

Yes E1 lvl40

[astral thorn]

No coura yet :/

[undone portal]

yes, but you already have logos, so i wouldnt bother unless you gonna get into playing is soon

[light latch]

Did u even show your team or am i having a stroke

[astral thorn]

Thx

[lone valley]

Iirc a page is 18(?)
So 24mil lmd
Add like, 5~ more million depemding on modules

[astral thorn]

Oh no

I just gave a description

[lone valley]

Me neither, its just what i think can happen if the timing is incredibly exact

[lyric lagoon]

so it’s theoretical

[lone valley]

No shit

[wispy summit]

and around 20m exp

[raven ermine]

Thing is, ulpi has a few iframes, so the tight timing might just be eaten by rdp frames

[astral thorn]

Can you synch krooster to your account if youre glpbal

[wraith flicker]

Would I be better off using the M3 ticket on Myrtle or Ethan?

[lyric lagoon]

ethan

myrtle gets nerfed if you e2 unless you s1m3 her

[undone portal]

yes
do note krooster doesnt really sync so much as you go in and re-import your acc data manually when you wish

[undone portal]

ethan s2 is the best value you can get out of it

[winter crystal]

You mean do cost increase to deploy her

[lyric lagoon]

yes

[raven ermine]

It doesn't even

[lament loom]

I was confused for a moment

[undone portal]

dp cost increase happens at e1

[winter crystal]

^

[undone portal]

are you conflating the s*pah gummy advice onto myrtle

[opal tundra]

https://krooster.com/u/glowing-blue-mouse-657m

[lone valley]

Holy 2023 acc

[raven ermine]

sl7 your ops before doing mods
Raise your base slaves

[undone portal]

check /baseskills, finish raising your base workers
get your squad to skill rank 7
then come back

[abstract mauve]

hi chat. who is better in is4 between underflow and senshi?

these are my options. ignore hoshi2

[raven ermine]

Would go underflow personally

[undone portal]

i dont recall is4 asking for hitcount/invis reveal very much at all, so i dont imagine underflows doing much
unless youre desperate for more damage, i would take senshi

[lone valley]

Blender

[abstract mauve]

my damage is raidian and she's currently rolling over is4 with summoner hand. so util is more appreciated currently

[winter crystal]

Username checks out (also yeah maybe underflow?)

[glossy coral]

guys does this thing only work for operators I own? I selected Logos (I don't own him) and it seems like I can't actually use him in the stages?

[abstract mauve]

i have umiri for slow. umiri is just kinda better underflow imo

[undone portal]

raidian summoner hand
yea your damage is set. get senshi and make sure she doesnt die

[raven ermine]

tbf if you don't need the damage or slow, underflow won't do much yeah

[lyric lagoon]

it works for any operator (aside from collabs you don’t own iirc)

[winter crystal]

2 better then 1

[abstract mauve]

might go senshi cuz my healers are 💀

[undone portal]

hows your healing situation i see

[lyric lagoon]

you just gotta use a support slot on them if you don’t own them

[abstract mauve]

e1 rose salt e2 xingzhu

[opal tundra]

Ok gotta talk to me like I’m new it’s has been a while since I logged in again I feel like a boomer here

[glossy coral]

OHH that's the mech I was missing thank you!

[opal tundra]

Not feel am one I mean

[undone portal]

thats .. not bad, but guardians are pretty comfy in is4. xingzhus a lot more comfy when you have someone with consistent healing to supplement her burst

cycle xingzhu s1 + senshi s2 for high healing req and you should be fine i think

[opal tundra]

Sorry if I sound pushy just really unsure of direction from where I am at and still trying to familiarize myself with the game again

[raven ermine]

Raise your operators skill levels to 7, at least the ones you're using
You have a lot of operators with good base skills (to, well, work in your base) that need to be elite1 to unlock it
Check #bot-spam /baseskills and work on those

If you need a refresher/want to check where you're at regarding your base, check #bot-spam /base too

[mellow mural]

Why do these things count as elites lmao

Lemuen just dumped all her ammo on it lol

[abstract mauve]

they're pretty intimidating

[severe crypt]

Saria s3 usage in the big 26 🥹

[abstract mauve]

imagine an invincible ball moving at mach 10

[mellow mural]

This sounds kinda scuffed but I can use it to charge up Exu2's SP

[severe crypt]

[mellow mural]

With her geek trait and Saria talent 2

[lyric lagoon]

saria talent 2 to sp gen, ain’t no way

[severe crypt]

So uhh, have you considered if she needs sp buffing

[winter crystal]

The op that already gets a sp buff if you keep her hp up

[mellow mural]

LOL

Hey more uptime doesn't hurt y'know

[severe crypt]

This seems like diminishing returns, especially with saria’s 80 sp cost

[lyric lagoon]

realistically when are you going to run out of her ammo in a general stage where you need constant uptime

[mellow mural]

Ok I haven't actually found a practical situation yet but it's kinda funny

[winter crystal]

When you accidentally manually deactivate it

[lyric lagoon]

atp just reset

[raven ermine]

~~Use arts at least ~~

[rain forge]

is the dmitri banner 5* decent or shit

[ancient lintel]

she's a splash caster, interpret that how u want

[ancient current]

she's pretty decent from what i've seen

surprisingly enough

[ancient lintel]

wait she's not shit?

[rain forge]

🥹

[winter crystal]

Not top 10 = Garbo in help

[pale tapir]

what makes her more useful than say, lava alt?

[balmy panther]

she legits looks solid
if they make a 6star based on her kit
it will be actually playable

[rain forge]

no fucking way dmitri’s kit gets mogged by a 5*

[raven ermine]

That's not what they said

[abstract mauve]

the splash caster 5* is pretty good from numbers alone. also apparently might have insane splash caster hand synergy

[coarse notch]

no way undulation comp buffs

[pale tapir]

so she's good just based on raw stats and not necessarily kit? or is her kit doing some lifting too?

[ancient current]

better than santalla synergy?

[thin scaffold]

Is there any way to level up trust faster?

[pale tapir]

assign op as base assistant, put in activity room, and put them in your squad when u clear stages using sanity

[raven ermine]

Also dorm/TR/workshop

[ancient current]

what's the op u want trust for

[thin scaffold]

Logos

[coarse notch]

cant wait for the undulation comp that now requires 10 caster tickets

[thin scaffold]

I did all that so the trust really going up slowly

[abstract mauve]

i need to check with someone that plays is6 on CN more to make sure it was splash caster hand but this vid basically https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1D5cRzsEdY/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click

[coarse notch]

just gotta wait

[abstract mauve]

her SP lockout is like a second or two but her DoT lingers for 5 more seconds

[ancient current]

interesting

more exciting performance than bolognaise?

[sand folio]

What's the practical difference between Training Time and Training Speed?

[balmy panther]

it still takes a couple of days for 100 trust

[coarse notch]

training time directly cuts the total training duration in half

[pale tapir]

the same difference between Time and Velocity

[ancient current]

with training time, the operator doesn't need to stay in the training room for the entire duration
so u can put them in, start the mastery with them and switch them out. the bonus stays

[digital phoenix]

But doesn't the "effect expires if either Operator leaves the Training Room" contradict that?

[coarse notch]

you start the training with both in the room, it cuts the time in half, then you swap out the trainer

[raven ermine]

Means that you can't switch logos out and "store" the buff

[coarse notch]

in practice, you just train the operator's m1 and m2 with logos fully, then start m3 with him and swap out for the highest % trainer
you can micro the m1/m2 to shave off a bit more time but its a hassle

[sand folio]

On average how much does the increase in speed translates to time reduction?

[balmy panther]

microing m1 is only setting you up for failure to save 1h
dont do it

[raven ermine]

I really don't see why people would minmax to this extent, but it exists, ig

[balmy panther]

like 18h if you start masteries on the dot

[severe crypt]

How else am I supposed to flex my new op early

[tiny abyss]

All ts just to wait faster smh
-# I raised Irene to e2 for this lol

[coarse notch]

mfw i tried to micro m1 and put logos in for 4 hr and 55 min

[abstract mauve]

how much harder is d15 is4 compared to d12?

[raven ermine]

You buy an instant m3, plebian 😡

[coarse notch]

not really that much harder tbh

then again you're playing your welfare tacfort squad right

[severe crypt]

later, Shileds got his ass beat because he listened to schrodin

[coarse notch]

the additional stats might be a bigger issue for you then
mechanics wise its not that big of a deal

[abstract mauve]

just doing ed1 for now cuz farming medals for IS central

[coarse notch]

only im allowed to beat his ass

[balmy panther]

i mean
universally
mechanics never change

its just
at d15 every thing one shots you

especially in IS4

[abstract mauve]

im getting rolled in these runs either way. trying to make it at least consistent

is2 still the hardest IS by far for welfare at least

[astral thorn]

How do I send krooster link

[raven ermine]

There's a share link in settings

[astral thorn]

Thx

[abstract mauve]

is2 im losing d9 to ed1 🥹
every other IS welfare only can steamroll max diff ed1 at least

[coarse notch]

d13/d15/d18 is3 are gigantic difficulty jumps compared to is4
meanwhile is4's biggest jump is at d12, everything after is kinda just meh

[astral thorn]

https://krooster.com/u/humor-white-blaze-31oc

[violet widget]

hi I had logos that you advised me to do afterwards obviously I continue the story but which operator am I setting up?

[astral thorn]

Any advice on who i should focus on

[raven ermine]

Did you check pins ? We have progression guides there

[coarse notch]

you can just skillfully roll into lofty silverfrost instead of ICI

[abstract mauve]

that's what happened. i would've gotten rolled in the alternate stage
normal one was easy enough brute force with the relics i had anyway

[honest plinth]

any tips on killing theresa H14-4

[raven ermine]

Your base slaves, we told you a few times about it already
Then sl7 your team

[violet widget]

for that too I will look in this case

[sly compass]

In Stationary Security Service, do these buffs stack? Or do you only get the most-recently-deployed buff?

[abstract mauve]

DPS her down asap and god speed. dont get rolled by the coccoon tile btw

[raven ermine]

Theresa is easy, just retreat when she's about to coccoon

[astral thorn]

Sl 7

[signal dragon]

you can have a total of 5 buffs on a operator, you can mix and match

[astral thorn]

Skill lvl??

[honest plinth]

is leizi alt the best one here on doing that

[coarse notch]

that team should just obliterate her
look up her hp thresholds for her cocoon and dont have ops around her when it happens

[sly compass]

ok so I really want to rotate a ton into my giga-cannon. that explains why I feel like my dps is so low

[astral thorn]

Thx. Basically im asking bc im still getting pushed in lol

[coarse notch]

iirc on h14-4 it was every 35% hp lost on phase 1

[abstract mauve]

tequilla + absinthe obliterates her. im sure you can find replacements to dps theresa

[abstract mauve]

here i recommend just trapping the cocoons. makes life very easy

[honest plinth]

I should build absinthe....

[balmy panther]

you know
sometimes bringing more DPS than deployable tiles isn't a solution

[raven ermine]

If you still have questions after reading those, feel free to ask them here
Should be a good starting point tho
There's also /newtips in #bot-spam

[coarse notch]

trap the cocoons that spawn with the stage using roadblocks, if you avoid getting your operators caught by the hp gated cocoons you have effectively unlimited time to deal with the stage

[pale tapir]

by trap do u mean use the blocks to stop them from spreading?

[jade jasper]

i think you can probably kill her before patriot even shows up

[honest plinth]

I played that stage once....what does coccoon look like

[coarse notch]

for phase 2 normally arts damage would be preferred but your physical dps options are so overkill it shouldnt matter

[raven ermine]

tbf you can avoid cocoons entirely

[pale tapir]

dang didn't know u could do that
I just blasted her to the moon

[jade jasper]

you can stop the tiles from spreading if you transfer it to a trapped ranged unit

just make sure nobody hits them later on

[violet widget]

thanks for your advice ill do that

[jade jasper]

arts damage is necessary for that part unless you are debuffing her

[coarse notch]

it really isnt, she only has 2500 def

[honest plinth]

I definitely did smth terribly wrong playing that stage....gonna try looking for these coccoons

[wispy totem]

only?

[jade jasper]

only is funny thing to add to that number

[coarse notch]

modern physical dps options easily penetrate that level of def

[raven ermine]

That's the name of the light tiles she's spreading around

[honest plinth]

glowing sleepy tile=coccoon?

they are....destroyable?

[coarse notch]

well, technically yes, but when you destroy them the operator that destroyed it gets a new cocoon spawned on top of them

[honest plinth]

remind me what's the...clue to when to activate full leizi

[coarse notch]

also you are aware of the dust's (stuff orbiting her) damage reduction effect right

[ancient lintel]

When her swords has lightning on it

It's a much easier thing to look out for than mylnar's shiny sword imo

I cant tell when does this male uma has full trait and when he doesnt

[coarse notch]

you can use this to transfer it to a ranged operator that is surrounded by roadblocks and lock away the cocoon tile forever
theresa fails the stage in phase 2 when she spreads enough cocoons, so locking them away gives you unlimited time to kill her provided you didnt let her snare your operators with her hp gated cocoons

[raven ermine]

You can always check if their atk stat is moving or not

[honest plinth]

when my operator is sleeping every 0.5 sec I just redeploy it elsewhere?

[coarse notch]

what

[grizzled galleon]

Are none friend supports based on my level?

[coarse notch]

might want to read the wiki page for theresa

[formal shadow]

:clueless:

[coarse notch]

friend support levels are locked to the highest elite promotion operator in your squad (for now)
you also dont get access to masteries if they arent your friend

[violet widget]

fot the 6 and 5 stars select which operator advise to take ?

[grizzled galleon]

Ye it’s just that sometimes I get 2 support options to a class even after rerolling 10 times

So in confused why cause it wasn’t like this earlier

[raven ermine]

Are you above account lv20 ?

[coarse notch]

when you reach a certain level the game stops finding you max level accounts to borrow from, you gotta find your own friends then

[grizzled galleon]

Ye

[raven ermine]

That is why

[grizzled galleon]

Kk

[dapper crow]

Heya all, this banner with Monster and Logos worth it?

Ive read the recommendations but still not sure, Arent Monster and Logos super good?

[raven ermine]

They're good sure
Do you have ascalon/ray
How many pulls do you have currently
Are you very new ?

[ionic herald]

They are good, but i think the next limited banner is very close

[dapper crow]

Im ''new'' had an account that had more progress but eventually switched to one when W alter dropped. Got her and Mlynar

This account hanst even finished chapter 2 i think?

[raven ermine]

You could pull until the first 6* imo
If you do, i'd pick monster asca logos
Ray is very good, but you do have phys covered to an extent

[dapper crow]

I see, thank you

Is it ok to talk about the opcoming ops here? Or do i spoiler tag?

[raven ermine]

You can, no need for spoiler warnings

Except if you mean lore, but idt you are, so

[ancient lintel]

I mean we talked about chen3 bellone and wang all the time so

[dapper crow]

Ah cool, are the next big banners the new wxu and chen?

[ancient lintel]

nah sash2 and pram2

[dapper crow]

Ah, i see haha

[raven ermine]

According to cn schedule, upcoming banners are mantra, then sash2 pram2 yeah

[dapper crow]

Are sash2 and pram 2 that crazy?

[ionic herald]

Is yu worth building?

[raven ermine]

Yes, it's a very good banner
Pram2 is on par, if not better than logos
Sash2 is a very good vanguard with a lot of utilities

[dapper crow]

Oh thats crazy

[shadow bay]

~~me??? im so very worth thank you very much ~~

he is... ok .. ig... he have s2 that can shift enemies onto him, and he is famous to masses for burn access to ur arts dmg ops

[crimson star]

should I e2 cantabile if the only e2 I have is la pluma

[ancient lintel]

He's fine

[shadow bay]

any better priorities than cantabile?

[raven ermine]

vanguards, medics, blockers are overall not what you should focus early on
Raise your damage dealers first

[crimson star]

I don't really know anything about the game so I'm not sure

[signal dragon]

why so many E1 ops, also Myrtle uses s1

[raven ermine]

E2 your mlynar
Raise less units, you're spreading your resources too much

[signal dragon]

raise your baseslaves though #bot-spam /baseskillls E1 level 1

[shadow bay]

and that way he spread way too much of resources also speculate me he doesn't max their skills

[silver smelt]

Logos mod delta 3 S3m3
Sakiko mod3 s3m3 if you havne't already
Sash mod3

[raven ermine]

logos mod3 > sash mod3 > surtr mod2 and you can consider kroos2 mod1
Make sure sakiko is mod2
For masteries, it's s3 for sakiko/silverash/logos/surtr
S1m1 saria
S2 haruka (tho s3 is fine too)

[silver smelt]

bro is never using s3

[raven ermine]

Yeah s3 haruka is a bit more niche i guess

[vivid yew]

im new to the game and just wanted to e1 raidian, i kinda dont understand the event, can someone help me? and do i need to show my characters?

[earnest sparrow]

what's nearl's S1 range? because it says focus on healing surrouning allies but doesn't mention to what range exactly

[raven ermine]

Those are imo the lowest prios in your roster currently
gg s3m3 mody1 and bagpipe i would not bother doing masteries/mod to be entirely honest

[unkempt pollen]

surrounding allies means in a 3x3 around the current tile

cause, well, said allies surround said tile

[abstract mauve]

hi chat, which has more healing, doc s2 or tuye fall below 20%?

[shadow bay]

raising radian is mostly playing integrated strategies 6, and doing missions... which is also centered around said game mode

[vivid yew]

do i just keep playing randomly

[signal dragon]

read cubes guide in #is-station it'll help

[vivid yew]

ty

[shadow bay]

well yes but actually no

if ur playing it first hand, it is expected for u to be clueless....point of rouge lite games is for u to explore, mess up, learn on it and proceed...

as u play along whatever u doing would make sense so u would have idea of what to do on every later runs...

[vivid yew]

okok ill try my best ty!!

[latent ginkgo]

Can I still unlock IS-5 endings while also doing the storyteller list

[coarse notch]

no

[latent ginkgo]

Thamks

[sand folio]

Is there any in-game way to know what's the pool of those vouchers without buying them?

[ivory terrace]

no
but it basically only comprise of ones available on launch 6 years ago

[coarse notch]

no but you shouldnt be buying those anyways

[raven ermine]

Those are terrible, so uh, the pool does not really matter

[signal dragon]

it's the worst thing you could buy with green certs

[sand folio]

It's less about their value and more about ui and information

[abstract mauve]

you can ask rechord. he bought the 4* one for science

[signal dragon]

it's just every launch 4*

[raven ermine]

Truly a man of the people

[severe crypt]

Likely as much “Science” as his s1m3 reedalt

[abstract mauve]

was estelle there at launch?

[hexed adder]

As description said, launch ops

[tiny abyss]

Wtf vro doesn't that mean there's no Catapult in the 3* one

[signal dragon]

3* voucher should be everyone but spot and catapult

[fathom nest]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/★3_Recruitment_Exchange_Voucher_I
https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/★4_Recruitment_Exchange_Voucher_I

When in doubt, check the wiki

[abstract mauve]

explains her shitty e2 art

[ivory terrace]

there was guarantee tag for her. b4 popukar lol

[hexed adder]

3* exclude a6 member other than orchid yea

[coarse notch]

rechord's base is just a science experiment and doesnt need to be demolished

[signal dragon]

it's better now

[abstract mauve]

why is the hand not simpsons colored

[raven ermine]

Because fuck discord updates

[ivory terrace]

u can choose skin tone anyway

[spare dirge]

do the rebuilding mandate reward points stack for the next reward phase

[fathom nest]

Doubt it

[sand folio]

Ye but I was looking for any in-game way to check, even on archive, something like a list of Recruitment Periods or anything

[fathom nest]

Nothing in-game afaik

[odd sky]

to check in game you buy it

[ivory terrace]

not prior to purchase

idk about the 30 dollar 6* selector tho

[raven ermine]

You can

[coarse notch]

you can check that one before iirc

[sinful sleet]

those exist?

[raven ermine]

Only during anniversary and half anni banners

[reef sparrow]

chat what is the fastest way to clear RA rewards any methods

[sinful sleet]

makes sense

[raven ermine]

Check #reclamation-algorithm-hub pins, there's a guide for lightstick farming iirc
~~The mode is fun tho ~~

[odd sky]

glowstick, there's one in roadless camelot too i believe

[raven ermine]

ya glowstick sorry

[reef sparrow]

thanks mode is not fun tho

[severe crypt]

Ra3 will save the RA fans trust 🥹

[raven ermine]

You're welcome
You're wrong tho

[fathom nest]

For CN*

[raven ermine]

Yeah i meant the type of banner/event, not the timing
Always found it a bit confusing to convey tho

Maybe i should call those celebrations banners instead or smth

[signal dragon]

I usually just say the months to reduce confusion

[abstract mauve]

i feel like their CN names just make more sense

[honest copper]

Does wisadel's turret summons count as summons? Will collectibles buff them?

[fathom nest]

They are

[abstract mauve]

for collectibles purposes they count ye

[honest copper]

ty!

[raven ermine]

You can check that on tomimi with the fowlbeast (or any summon relics)

[severe crypt]

Tomimi.dev

[tender sleet]

what does this summon?

[formal shadow]

anyone

[elfin loom]

is it worth pulling on orienterring banner just for ascalon? i have all other 5 units

[wooden notch]

What are you guys using ?

[fathom nest]

The risk is too high for dupes

[signal dragon]

you'd be pulling for 66% chance of dupes

[signal dragon]

all ops except collab if you don't own them iirc

[tender sleet]

so worth pulling here?

[fathom nest]

River, rock, village, outpost, surveyor, and the one thing that combos with outpost for aspd forgot the name

[fathom nest]

You can't do anything else with those points

[tender sleet]

it summoned collab too, Thanks tho!

[elfin loom]

dem 😔

is there another way to hit ascalon? or virtuosa actually i want her too

[wild cedar]

If you need suggestions, #1480479361885933792 pins, if you’re asking out of curiosity… maybe someone in the thread would share niche combos go find out

[polar viper]

there's no downside to pulling in this mode it's completely free and you get like 100/day

[fathom nest]

Easiest for Ascalon is waiting for her in gold certs. Virt you'd likely need to spark, which is saving 300 pulls for her

[elfin loom]

oh virtuosa is a limited? 🥀

[fathom nest]

Yah

[elfin loom]

damn

is it worth going for a spark even?

[signal dragon]

no

[fathom nest]

Not at all

[elfin loom]

i just see her used alot in combo with logos and it looked really good- ah rip 😔

do limiteds ever get added to gold cert? probably not right?
