help

[urban sleet]

Have you read her kit I think he's refering to the laterano marking

[raven ermine]

Read her talent

[boreal steeple]

Tragodia + gravel, or just nuke the yi

[pale tapir]

she will still target enemies within her range when activating s3
in order to only have her target marked enemies nobody else must be in her range (have her face the wall or something)

[neon siren]

Not that, I mean that her s3 is supposed to be global, but if it's only laterano then i hv to wait for sankta to come back on the masses rerun to use her properly the

[raven ermine]

Or you just, y'know, read her kit

[slate ridge]

All her skills are able to hit outside of range

[severe crypt]

En can’t kit

[urban sleet]

That guy asks for proof for almost everything, makes me wonder if he's a troll

[neon siren]

Hmm

[copper oracle]

did u read...

[neon siren]

Yea, i did.

[median fable]

when we tell you to read the talent trust us and read the talent

[copper oracle]

read harder or jus try it out

[neon siren]

Oh, it was in her talent, not skills or mods. Fuck.

[copper oracle]

so u didnt read 💢

[urban sleet]

We should make a videp tutorial for comprehension atp

[raven ermine]

🥹

[neon siren]

Read the wrong thing

[copper oracle]

💢 read the entire kit omg

[raven ermine]

Read everything next time, an operator is not just the skills

[severe crypt]

So u didn’t read

[neon siren]

[stoic nebula]

Logos mod3?

[boreal steeple]

Delta, yes

[urban sleet]

You were told to read talent before too

[neon siren]

Delta mod 3

[neon siren]

When? If it was like when i started playing then I don't read, cuz u guys were using terms i didn't understand back then tmso i just gave and was brute forcing content anyways

[urban sleet]

Like few seconds ago

[pale tapir]

let's not bother the newbie too much
as long as they learned where to find the info it's all good

[raven ermine]

^

[neon siren]

I read it a few seconds ago and then said i read the skills and mods but forgot about the talent

[urban sleet]

He's open to being bonked like this dw

[neon siren]

😭 who decided that LMFAO

(yes I am )
(Well kinda..)

[green anvil]

btw sakiko s3 is the main priority to m3 right?

[urban sleet]

Main and only

[neon siren]

Also thx

[rain forge]

s3 is the only prio to m3

if anyone shills s2 they’re clinically insane don’t listen to them

[green anvil]

alr got it:) ty

[urban sleet]

-# I remember a guy shilling s1 too

[green anvil]

i'm having a shit ton of fun in is-6 now when i know how to play it XD

[rain forge]

shilling s1 is grounds to be shot to death

[plain hemlock]

you can still use S2 for afk but no need for masteries on it

[urban sleet]

Try IS5

[slender temple]

Logos mod Y decent, no?

[rain forge]

niche

[boreal steeple]

-# S1 for umiri combo or some funny spinach

[neon siren]

-# i was told to m9 her by someone once I got her lmfao

[green anvil]

i will after i get most of the reward and finishing radian

[urban sleet]

-# except that person didnt mention umiri/spinach

[rain forge]

Just use d

[ancient belfry]

Thanks, I E1 40 Ambriel just for this. I thought the buff guys dont do much

[slate ridge]

Wouldnt S2 benefit spinach better

[slender temple]

But I wanna use Trag also, it's a headache tbf

[rain forge]

s1 has auto activation

[urban sleet]

Won't it activate only when you switch modes

[deft crow]

s1 is not bad, just mastery gain is trash

[rain forge]

place them separately bra

[rain forge]

s1 is legit just a worse power strike y

[boreal steeple]

-1sp cost and 20% dmg increase isnt that bad(well s3 is better overall)

[deft crow]

ye i did m1

[median fable]

both mods are great, in a vacuum delta is better

[deft crow]

its only 20% during fever, i have her other skills maxed but i just cant justify levelling 1 above m1

[median fable]

are we really discussing Sakiko s1 masteries?

[eager totem]

what number after comma mean

[abstract mauve]

it probably means that my guy did some wack shit to get the dps

[deft crow]

its dps, characters dont attack ones a second so how else it will be

[severe crypt]

That has to be the decimal “point” 🥹

[abstract mauve]

i dont think i've ever gotten so many decimal positions calculating dps in this game

[deft crow]

i can round it but why bother

[severe crypt]

Cuz wtf else could it be

[eager totem]

idk thats why im asking ive never seen someone use comma for decimals

[deft crow]

in eu they force me to use it

[abstract mauve]

"force"

[deft crow]

if i use dot it doesnt work

[eager totem]

also fever increases dps? i thought it only activates all the skill at once

[abstract mauve]

cant you change your googlesheets settings or wtvr you're using

[deft crow]

for s1 it does

[median fable]

dw guys, I had an expert explaing what the numbers after the comma are

The comma in those numbers is acting as a decimal separator.
In many countries (especially in Europe), a comma (,) is used instead of a period or dot (.) to separate the whole number from the fractional part.

[thick token]

guys does the nightingale s3 bug still work?? how do i trigger it?? do i have to retreat within a certain time

[brazen gulch]

disclaimer: wall of text + general content player viewpoint

very flexible and performs well even at low investment (she has been pretty much my only caster at E1L50 for a loooong time and i cleared a good 1/3 or even half the general content with her being used in every other stage if not more), E2 is a good upgrade but i'll leave it to others to determine if it's "worth" it for your account

s3 > s2 >>>>>>> s1 without a doubt, s1 is very low prio if at all ||even though i personally love to combo it with a liberator or an ambusher||. the more developed your account the less use for s1 you'll have as it's mainly good as a splash caster replacement and you'll typically have much better ways of clearing waves of trash by then

can't personally say anything about the module as i don't have it yet, but according to Roadless Camelot you should pretend that it doesn't exist

one final note: blaze2 works without burn applicators just fine. despite my username i don't have Yu and my Bobbing has been added to a squad exactly 0 times in the long time that i've been using blaze. (nevertheless having a burn applier wiuld make her much better (obviously), she's a primal caster after all)

thank you for coming to my TED talk

[abstract mauve]

you dont gotta write all that to explain blaze2 dawg

[eager totem]

its from yu lover i think it explains

[green anvil]

ermm it only temporary voucher;-;

[plain hemlock]

nah, let Yu cook

[severe crypt]

I can explain blaze 2:

||she sucks||

[deft crow]

bobbing viable surely

[brazen gulch]

better run faster, before- ahem

[thick token]

does anyone know this

[abstract mauve]

s1 mastery on bobbing before s2 is crazy

[severe crypt]

Was gonna ask which yu lover but remembered puffy gone 🥹

[brazen gulch]

😭

[deft crow]

ye i should do s2 too some day

[abstract mauve]

what bug are you talking about?

[green anvil]

sorry man XDD i got kinda lucky on my is-6 run LMAO

[thick token]

i heard if you retreat her immediately you will get 3 cages the next time you deploy her or smth?? idk

[lucid ruin]

is sankta miksaparato s2 or s3 m3

[plain hemlock]

you get 3 cages with mod

[abstract mauve]

you get 2 cages per deployment. but she can hold a max of 3 and the amount is shared across deployments.
all you do is deploy her. then retreat her. next deployment she'll have 3 cages
also yeah mod just gives you more cages on first deployment

[earnest osprey]

Who's better lane holder executor alt or ulpianus?

[thick token]

oh.......damn another mod

[abstract mauve]

ulpianus

[abstract mauve]

as i explained you can have her hold 3 cages even without it. it's not really a bug and more of NG tech atp

[slate ridge]

forgot did they patch Mayer too

[young violet]

Is leizi lv90 much stronger than lv69?

[abstract mauve]

s3m3. easily his better skill

[abstract mauve]

no
maybe 3-4% more damage

[thick token]

aight well time to try it out then

[deft crow]

only ritualists get something meaningful out of max level

[abstract mauve]

doesnt have to be max level exactly

[young violet]

I thought her branch will need as much base atk as possible

[rain forge]

her talent and trait already buff her attack by a lot

[deft crow]

she has low base and low gain from level

[rain forge]

also level attack gains are negligible

[winter crystal]

Technically all ops benefits from extra stats but wether it’s worth the price is another story

[slender temple]

Not justifyable to go for lvl90 except you're rich AF (which if you were you wouldn't ask such thing anyway )

[abstract mauve]

general rule of thumb is that going from lvl 60 to lvl 90 increases your atk stat by around 5%. this, generally speaking, almost never matters unless you meet some certain breakpoint that you couldnt otherwise like for ritualists for example. since this is a % increase to the base stat, this affects all ops similarly

[abstract mauve]

im not rich i just do it for the love of the game

[severe crypt]

I do it to flex me account

[fathom nest]

[jovial urchin]

[deft crow]

you can do it if you want, but damage gains are negligible

oh wait you are different person

[slender temple]

For that reason it's understandable then (I lvl90 Exu and Trag cuz I simp )

[echo venture]

[boreal steeple]

Except magallan ofc bruh

[buoyant sigil]

What does ulpianus do for a team

[median fable]

dmg, hold a lane

[buoyant sigil]

How is his damage

[median fable]

good

[teal horizon]

Uhm hello , can I someone tell me if I should get horn?
I have old 6 stars ops cuz I used play this game before (and logos and mylnar now )

[median fable]

save

banner priority in the pins

[astral thorn]

How many hours and minutes ro recruit a robot?

[brazen gulch]

3:50 if you have a Robot tag

[lapis plank]

is there a guide which tells ,which operator to get elite 1 first??

[astral thorn]

I just got the robot tag!

[astral thorn]

Thx any advice on which class to go for

[brazen gulch]

generally you'll want to upgrade your damage/carries first

[thick token]

how tf is phantom's clone redeployment time calculated, it was still on cd when i had to bait stupid talulah and it ruined my run

[lapis plank]

i have silverash, thorns and laplandd currently

[brazen gulch]

no idea but i the two i personally use most often are Lancet-2 (medic) and THRM-EX (specialist)

[astral thorn]

Thx

[buoyant sigil]

I am pretty sure you really wanna e2 your silverash and that’d be better than both other ops but please correct me if I’m wrong

[median fable]

guard for castle-3, good base slave
the other are not that relevant generally speaking

[median fable]

send roster, people here will recommend
we have guide in the pins for team recommendation
use krooster.com to share roster

[subtle dawn]

How does attack speed work? It says for la plumas e2 that it increases attack speed by 3 every enemy she kills, how big rlly is that?

[thick token]

who knows this

[severe crypt]

3%, aspd is percentages

[void magnet]

guys is this banner worth pulling if i hab none of these guys?

[subtle dawn]

Oh ok damn that's kinda bad then

[deft crow]

3% 12 times is pretty good

[brazen gulch]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Attribute/Attack_interval if you wanna read into the details

[thick token]

no one here uses phantom i guess

[subtle dawn]

It's ok I guess I thought her attack speed was gonna double and she would be going crazy 😔

[deft crow]

36% is not double but still good

[severe crypt]

Double would be 100 aspd

[teal horizon]

No I want to buy it from store

[severe crypt]

Still not a good gold cert op, better ones are upcoming

[median fable]

don't

[teal horizon]

Oh okay

How do you know which ops are coming in the store later on?

[deft crow]

we dont

we can predict new ones that come to shop

[median fable]

we roughly know the time frame of debut operators in gold cert shop, everything else is speculation

even for debut they can change date, like what happened with Ines or Saga

[rotund snow]

Any new Collab ops I should look for? Like are there any new Collab operators in CN rn?

[teal horizon]

Ohhhh so where can I see these predictions 😭😂

[winter crystal]

Collab is usually once a year, we just had one and we only know about 6 months out bc of CN server so we don’t know anything yet, but typically you want to save for coming limited banners which there will be one in under 2 months (SA alter)

[hoary ruin]

It's less of a "prediction" and more of "Wait for Ascalon, Logos & Mlynar sometime in the future."

Just gotta wait and see who's on the rotating standard banners.

[plain hemlock]

aka when they come, they come

[rotund snow]

So destiny 2 Collab is dead in the ditch huh?

[winter crystal]

Ask MH collab copers about it

[brazen gulch]

jetpack joyride new 6^ skyranger next trust

[teal horizon]

Oh 🙃
Any others ops I should wait for ?
I have logos and mlynar both from saikiko piano girl banner

[median fable]

2 years after release is the general rule
check wiki for release date, add two years and you've got a time frame

[deft crow]

i would roll for that tbh

[winter crystal]

Ray is a good single target physical dps op if you don’t have a similar one, ulipi even further out is a great dps tank

[plain hemlock]

not enough copium in the world to sustain that one, just forget about it

[tidal pumice]

[median fable]

save 258 gold certs and buy pulls instead, better than buying mid ops from shop

[plain hemlock]

it starts counting the moment you deploy it

[teal horizon]

Damn okay 👍🏽

[hoary ruin]

There are some good recent standard ops, but the problem is that it takes like 2 years for an OP to appear in the shop so.....

[teal horizon]

That is true

[plain hemlock]

but it has a higher timer compared to phantom himself, you would need something like another executor or a jaye for talulah iirc

[thick token]

bruh so i wasnt doing smth wrong, it just cant replace another frd

that sucks gravel time again

[plain hemlock]

it lets you use a merchant or 2 other fodder chars instead of an executor ig. but it's just easier to use gravel

[winter crystal]

The rat is timeless

[thick token]

i borrowed him bc i didnt have a 2nd one....thought i could free up gravel's slot, guess not

[formal shadow]

rat gaming

[thick token]

i wish trag s2 could bait too smh

[formal shadow]

that'd be pretty ass. Just use trag s3 :clueless:

[slate ridge]

just run E1 Bean if youre good
Mitm is ideal but not everyone has him ig

[thick token]

i got the bait thing sorted out....i think

now for the stupid fireballs

[brazen gulch]

if you have enough healing to withstand the fireballs, wouldn't you have enough healing to sustain the burn anyway

[winter crystal]

Simply logos S3, retreat to kill fireballs

[plain hemlock]

does he delete the projectiles on retreat? wtf

I thought he actually had to finish his skill

[winter crystal]

Funny delete

[thick token]

wait i forgor she also burns with melee attacks....bruh now what the fuck do i do??? how do i cancel the explosion on my ops

[formal shadow]

she doesn't

[thick token]

huh??? but i'm pretty sure i didnt mess up my bait timing

[split sphinx]

bait the mark with frd

[brazen gulch]

if your problem is dying, borrow haruka and bring any moderately leveled aoe medic

[formal shadow]

you in fact did

oh wait phase 1

[split sphinx]

if you don't retreat the frd and heal them through it, talulah will find a non-burnt target

[thick token]

it says it does???? wtf

[thick token]

i did.......

actually shit this should be in #strategy wtf am i doing

[formal shadow]

when you say burn I keep thinking elemental damage and that's why I'm confused

[patent heron]

Math jumpscare

[hoary ruin]

It might be easier if it was elemental damage. Then Ejyaberry could just erase the dot entirely.

[severe crypt]

Nice handwriting, if only en could read

[plain hemlock]

she does, I remember my surtr being burned pretty vividly

[formal shadow]

just erase the DoT with lumen :clueless:

I don't remember it because I just nuked her without tanking too much

[split sphinx]

As an unc, I did it the old fashioned way

[subtle dawn]

Idk whats going on here 😭 so every 3 atk spd buff increases the attack speed by 26%?

[hoary ruin]

Yeah....I used NG S3 to deal with the fireballs and a borrowed Exu2 to kill the boss...I think.

[formal shadow]

there's a good amount of ops that tank her pretty well

[patent heron]

3 points of aspd buff turned a 1.3 second atk interval into roughly 1.26 seconds...

[subtle dawn]

Ohhh

[thick token]

i could prob manage this if it werent for the stupid civilians

[lapis plank]

how to share roster with krooster

[thick token]

talulah was so based for killing them all in that 1 story stage ngl

[tidal pond]

Is there a breakpoint for trag's burst with auto attacks?

[formal shadow]

I used guardmiya back when I first did it because I didn't know she did true damage back then

[thick token]

i'm actually using her just for the arts dodge + bc she deals shit dmg so i can stall

[plain hemlock]

I used guardmiya precisely because she did true damage to bypass her 50% dmg red

[formal shadow]

s1 guardmiya

[patent heron]

Damn you were right т_т

[echo venture]

unfortunate 😔

[thick token]

ok survived phase 1....somehow 💀

[plain hemlock]

phase 1 is not the bottleneck tho

[eager totem]

holy fuck finally radian e2 whats next

[brazen gulch]

more pain of course

[plain hemlock]

now you get her level to 90, masteries and mod3

[split sphinx]

nothing just grind until max pass or something

[eager totem]

is her mod what makes her good in is6

[haughty silo]

is lappalt new skin coming next month?

[split sphinx]

check hermitzplanner

[plain hemlock]

comes with sash event I believe

[kind igloo]

Should I use record keeper? Im already using haruka and ptilopsis for healing

[split sphinx]

no. e1 perf pure for base

[formal verge]

What kind of supports should I take in rebuilding mandate

[haughty silo]

i've no idea when is it

[hoary ruin]

SA2 banner drops sometime in april or may.

[formal shadow]

wisadel

[haughty silo]

cn stuff comes into global usually takes 6 months right?

[plain hemlock]

next limited event, it should come after ch.16 which is coming soon

[split sphinx]

if you wanna speculate yourself, just add 5/6 months to the CN release date

[plain hemlock]

unless yostar changes schedule for global

[haughty silo]

oh it's not that long
okay thanks

[winter crystal]

Almost time for newbies to die to a bear

[haughty silo]

got it thanks mate

[raven ermine]

Oh dw i'm sure there'll be more casualties than that

[thick token]

FUUUUUUCK THE STUPID CIVILIAN KILLED HIMSELF AGAIN

[ebon plaza]

what's the ente vs fedex comparison like?

[formal shadow]

skill issue

[thick token]

i wanna kms too

[plain hemlock]

comparable to each other tho I'd say Ente has the edge, especially after her next mod

[formal shadow]

why are people doing H8-4 of all things recently?

[formal verge]

Is hoshiguma alter good to take in rebuilding mandate

[raven ermine]

It's a dead week

[hoary ruin]

Probably farming pulls for SA2.

[plain hemlock]

it's a hard stage for newbies so chances are they'll come ask for help here (and yeah, dead week lmao)

[formal shadow]

this is like the 3rd time this week someone has been complaining about this stage 🥀

let me guess did you place an op next to the civ and they died of burn?

[hoary ruin]

S2's great for AoE clear in RM.

[thick token]

no

[haughty silo]

Keep
Myself
Safe

[formal shadow]

that's what happened to the last person

[plain hemlock]

he probably just forgor to put the 2 baits

[thick token]

i think the stupid rock just exploded....didnt know it had that big of a range

[tacit latch]

idk if executor is good i just got him from recruitment

[thick token]

man i'm so sick of stages that have like 3614243834 different things to keep track of, i fucking miss mifune

[raven ermine]

Executor the 5* ?

[plain hemlock]

pinecone >

[tacit latch]

yeppity yep

[thick token]

well not s-8 but ex-8 was so nice, come back mifune

[plain hemlock]

he's pretty much bottom of the barrel

[thick token]

big bob and jesselton also gud, best bosses ever

[raven ermine]

Yep not good, he's just a laterano unit, that's his only angle

[brazen gulch]

just use pinecone

[plain hemlock]

tbf, H8-4 is one of the most stressful stages even for today's standards

[hoary ruin]

Yup

[formal shadow]

it's no h12-4 🥀

[hoary ruin]

I'm somewhere in CH12 and nothing else has remotely come close to how hard CH8 boss was. I didn't even touch the hard version of it either. Normal was plenty spicy for me.

[reef sparrow]

have you seen the boss yet

[plain hemlock]

why are there always civvies involved

[hoary ruin]

Nope. I'm like stage 8 or somethin.

[reef sparrow]

fair enough

[formal shadow]

because civs are annoying

[raven ermine]

Oh dw you'll see her again

[hoary ruin]

The spy mechanic in CH12 is annoying though so I assume whatever the boss will leverage that somehow.

[thick token]

this game be preaching about kindness and anti-discrimination but then the gameplay makes you wanna become a psychopath and kill all the civvies

[worthy gyro]

also my experience
i'm still yet to do the extra fun difficult stages, but for anything "required" in the main story, JT8-3's boss is probably still the hardest thing in the main story

(working through chapter 14 at the moment, trying to become literate before chapter 16 drops)
(whenever that is)

[hoary ruin]

Well...rather it's being stuck on 20 DP at the start untill the Civies evaculate that's annoying. I'm glad the supply dumps exist.

[wary lance]

Hello kind people, just wanna ask about my team cause I'm like very new into this game (level 49)

I just hit chapter 13-10 and now wondering if this is a team I can invest in as a main team.

[ancient belfry]

is it faster to farm/craft this using sanity or IS?

[plain hemlock]

are all your 6* in that pic?

[raven ermine]

IS is free, else go to 1-7

[reef sparrow]

you'll gonna love it

[hoary ruin]

lol thanks

[wary lance]

I left these out my bad

[plain hemlock]

I mean, now that I see the picture, you kinda already invested in them

[split sphinx]

Ts gotta be bait

[wary lance]

Ehehe kind of Im kinda the person that goes oh I have a starter team and hyper invest hard into it. But just in case any other units I could try to build?

[buoyant sigil]

Projekt dead

[wary lance]

She was one of my earliest 5 stars so I just went with it

[split sphinx]

Drop someone for saria

[plain hemlock]

You can up Saria out of those and stop at S1M1

[wary lance]

I don't mind dropping Angelina for saria

will do

[plain hemlock]

btw curiously you invested in the 2 worst band members and left the 2 good ones at E1

[buoyant sigil]

Yup

[winter crystal]

E1 saria should be plenty for now don’t need E2 S1M1

[wary lance]

Have you seen how toxic their mats are to farm

[winter crystal]

You’d have more resources if you didn’t E2 the bad ones tho

[wary lance]

But rest assured I just hit enough to get them both to E2 by tmr specialist domain

[wary lance]

She was my first E1 level 70 I ever got to but because of this I couldn't get her to E2 until now

[winter crystal]

I’m just saying in general like how does E2 Projekt red feel for the amount of resources you spent on her

[wary lance]

Uhm... Ave mujica event... Free elite 2. Uhm didn't really feel much at that time

[winter crystal]

Or Amiya or Kaz or…

[urban sleet]

Were you recommended to use that on projekt red

[wary lance]

No not really I do regret not coming here earlier

But I was pretty much blind playing this game for the past month or so

[urban sleet]

Thats better than watching outdated guides ngl

[winter crystal]

It’s fine Gen content is easy enough

[wary lance]

Kazemaru is bad?

[winter crystal]

If you’ve got questions in the future definitely reach out here

[wary lance]

She's like my current carry rn

[winter crystal]

That should be your sakiko

[plain hemlock]

Nah, she's pretty good for a 5*

[buoyant sigil]

Sakiko melts things, especially with all of the band in that team

[plain hemlock]

But yeah your sakiko is WAY stronger

[wary lance]

I mean both if there's a lane I can't touch with sakiko's beeg range I'll just kazemaru + mutsumi and just call it a day mostly

[wanton meadow]

Huh mon3tr with initial sp relic is uhh, interesting

Either mon3tr and ulpianus with initial sp relic

[buoyant sigil]

I dunno if you know but when a band member’s range overlaps with sakiko’s from any tile sakiko’s range extends to that much. Uika and Umiri are the main ones used for this
There’s usually no lane where she can’t reach

[plain hemlock]

Perma S3 like ulpipi

[wary lance]

Yeah I know about that but sometimes the map is very strange and I can't touch all chokepoints. Usually I run kazemaru as my earlies to tank

[plain hemlock]

I wonder if it works with chen3 or bellone

[wanton meadow]

Yea exactly and for mon3tr especially it changes her play pattern completely

[buoyant sigil]

Interesting. Makes sense

[wanton meadow]

Turns her into basically true damage ulpipi

[lyric lagoon]

are we at the time of pseudo-global guards

[plain hemlock]

Yes but instead of sending drones and wolves, they throw themselves

[winter crystal]

Ulipi cross map S3

[wanton meadow]

Idk how good it is for actual high diff IS but it sure hella seems promising

[brazen gulch]

even without the range talent, togawa's notes fly virtually everywhere

even more so with s2 piercing active

[plain hemlock]

They get more projectile lifetime with range tho

[lyric lagoon]

also they’re very inconsistent anyways

[winter crystal]

IS5 regular stages you aren’t using her S3 since it’s all about kill them before they can touch you

[wanton meadow]

Eh i tried it in is6, haven't touched is5 so can't comment on it

Only played is2 and is6 myself

[winter crystal]

IS6 I can’t imagine it as the most optimal carry but should be fine

[buoyant sigil]

And module lv2 removes the damage reduction when skill is active

[winter crystal]

You should try IS3 🥀

[plain hemlock]

It's good but then you remember Wisadel and exu2 still exist

[urban sleet]

Iirc someone told me she isnt good as a start since she needs her e2

[winter crystal]

Who is starting with monster

[urban sleet]

True garden of gambling

[wanton meadow]

I heard something like IS2 are for the newbies, IS4 are for the tryhards, IS5 are for people who like sandbox, and IS3 are for people with no standards

[urban sleet]

Context wasnt sakiko? mb

[urban sleet]

Try out IS3 and you will know why

[winter crystal]

Monster start is actual skizo behavior

[plain hemlock]

I understood all of them except for the IS3 one

[hoary ruin]

I mean you gotta learn what does and doesn't work in IS somehow.

[winter crystal]

IS3 is the game mode where you play it for the first time then immediately regret your decision

[formal shadow]

they just hate on is3 for no reason 🥀

[frank hedge]

low diff is3 is not that bad really, I did fine with it as a newbie

[plain hemlock]

IS3 does inject hate on people with some mechanics like elemental damage and that ligma that guts your stats

[winter crystal]

First experience in the game mode and your only 6 star gets a bad roll now does as much damage as kroos

[wanton meadow]

Well from what I've heard it's got backwards design where they locked the rng mitigation behind high difficulty so the people who need them the most can't access it

[urban sleet]

Context is IS3's mechanics, not difficulty

[plain hemlock]

Rng mitigation is what killed IS5's fun

[winter crystal]

Keep trying to convince me to play diff16 but I still have diff15 ptsd

[lethal timber]

In the early game rn, is it worth to invest in Cuora? She seem slike my best defense rn, but IDK if heavy investment would help me alot

[wanton meadow]

I wouldn't know, my experience is still limited to is2 and 6

[urban sleet]

You can e1 40-50 her

[plain hemlock]

Heavy investment no. Just up her to E1L40

[winter crystal]

She’s the best 4 star brick wall yeah

[raven ermine]

smth smth play talon instead

[lethal timber]

I can only E1 once she's level 45 though right?

[plain hemlock]

I do, I hate the lamp but the 2 last endings are too balanced around it unfortunately

[wanton meadow]

Everytime you promote a unit they go back to level 1

[raven ermine]

Yes lowrolling in talons start lead to you exploding, sadly

[lethal timber]

that's pretty neat, I assume their new level 1 has the same stats as their old level 50?

[plain hemlock]

or thinking I can beat emergency elusive merc

[frozen dawn]

for IS, should i e2 lvl1 beanstalk with her module or just leave her at e1 lvl60?

[wanton meadow]

Yes

[urban sleet]

E2ing 4 stars for IS is like, very endgame account mindset

[winter crystal]

E1 is fine

[wanton meadow]

You can't get module at e2 lv1, 4star modules are unlocked at e2 lv40

[urban sleet]

Or you only care about IS

[plain hemlock]

Who would've thought the true endgame was building 4 stars

[raven ermine]

The true endgame is when you e2 chestnut to produce AO faster

[frozen dawn]

oh yeah i am dumb. i aint commiting that much for a 4*

[urban sleet]

True endgame is using robots to win

[plain hemlock]

Robots+chiave*

[urban sleet]

Bro the real commitment is e2-ing her, levels are nothing
Sounds like a base issue

[frigid stream]

Still waiting for the robot alter

[lyric lagoon]

it’s sad that they got replaced in endfield by stacked boxes bots 🥀

[winter crystal]

Then there’s IS3 high diff vigil Strats

(Pretty sure it was IS3?)

[formal shadow]

pretty sure it was is4

[winter crystal]

Ahhh

[plain hemlock]

There are vigil strats?

[formal shadow]

there's just one random dalao in CN who runs vigil start in d15 is4

[winter crystal]

Truly “endgame” activities

[urban sleet]

True simp

[abstract mauve]

based

[plain hemlock]

Damn, based indeed

[rain forge]

Is mon3 start in is schizo or am I onto something

[formal shadow]

it's schizo

[brazen gulch]

.

dunno if they're right tho /shrug

[formal shadow]

good luck not leaking f1 stages at d15/d18 with mon3tr start

[plain hemlock]

you're onto something (most likely narcotics)

[grizzled galleon]

Any know if I want ink of hidden butterfly?

[formal shadow]

Do I look like I could tell you what mod that is?

[plain hemlock]

do you want to do ending 2?

[formal shadow]

Oh it's is6 shit

[grizzled galleon]

How hard is it?

[deft crow]

pretty hard

[formal shadow]

-# it sounds like something they'd name Dusk mod

[plain hemlock]

harder. You will also get something (won't spoil what) spawning every stage until you defeet it

[grizzled galleon]

Can I beat it if I’m currently on tour guide 3?

[deft crow]

spoilers in is

[plain hemlock]

depends more on your ops

[grizzled galleon]

I go sakiko raidian wisadel and bubble e2

And I got attack speed artifact with 100 ingots

[plain hemlock]

you're probably fine then, try it

[grizzled galleon]

Ok

[gray mulch]

Ending 2 will probably fuck you up if you go into it blind

[plain hemlock]

just uhh don't clump your best ops together

[deft crow]

it most likely will

[formal shadow]

-# good thing I'm an is6 hater

[grizzled galleon]

Ummm

[tame fulcrum]

Will rebuilding mandate rerun?

[plain hemlock]

most alter endings will do that

[grizzled galleon]

What if my healers are the free 3 star ones

[gray mulch]

If you don't care about spoilers just read a guide on it

[plain hemlock]

(I hate that damn IS4 ED2)

[deft crow]

is6 definitely harder, i still dont have raiden masteries done

[plain hemlock]

oof

[gray mulch]

At d3 you might be ok if you get hp/def buffs and atk debuffs

[deft crow]

left lane doesnt really care about that

[gray mulch]

They'll prob have to leak

[deft crow]

need to know about that and have hp

[gray mulch]

Yeah which is why if you do it blind it'll fuck you up

[plain hemlock]

who spawns in the left lane again?

[deft crow]

shards

[gray mulch]

17 of em

[deft crow]

if you dont kill the mobs

[plain hemlock]

but which ones? the weaker ones?

[deft crow]

this dudes

[grizzled galleon]

Picked second option and lost all my ingots so Ggs

[deft crow]

they spawn that

[plain hemlock]

good lord

[pale tapir]

how many hits do those need again? 30? 50?

[deft crow]

like million of that

[plain hemlock]

Yes.

[zenith bane]

How many pulls till soft pity for a 6*?

[deft crow]

30 without mob hp buffs

[pale tapir]

after the 50th pull the rate goes up by 2% each pull IIRC

[plain hemlock]

it's definitely more than 30 in IS6

[zenith bane]

Ooo okay thanks

[gray mulch]

You can look up the results of choices in the wiki for future reference

[median fable]

https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/s/WaeLWeXvdS
chat, is this real?

[raven ermine]

Up to 99 but you'll never hit it
More like 70-80

[deft crow]

because of hp buffs

[zenith bane]

With the past few months of luck sacking in other games I'd probably reach 99

[zenith bane]

But I'll try my hopes up and get the 6* op I want early

[coarse notch]

if you reach 99 you might as well buy a lottery ticket

[raven ermine]

Gl then, because no player ever reached that i can guarantee you

[plain hemlock]

someone would probably reach to you to buy your account for 1 million dollars if you reached that lmao

[brazen gulch]

a slavic word written with latin letters, what a creative name for a character, we definitely didn't just have snegurochka

[tacit anvil]

Next best e2?

[echo venture]

saki

[zenith bane]

Is it actually that rare to not get a 6* until 99

[pale tapir]

sakichan for gameplay, proviso for base

[plain hemlock]

rare is a heavy understatement

[deft crow]

probably no one in the game ever did that

[zenith bane]

Well my hopes are a bit higher then

[pale tapir]

avg pulls for a 6* are 35-40 or so

[median fable]

34.6

[coarse notch]

soft pity starts at 50 and you're very unlucky if you manage to reach like 65 without a 6 star

[raven ermine]

#help message
Sound like reddit slop to me

[zenith bane]

Well I did get monster at my first ten pull and did 20 pulls after now in grinding for 20 more pulls since I'm still new or mid game lmao Id be happy to know the rates are not that bad

[coarse notch]

70 and you should start looking for who cursed you
80 and i think your account might be intentionally bricked
havent met anyone that reached 90 yet

[zenith bane]

I want logos

[raven ermine]

Pretty sure the highest i ever reached was in the 80s, so yeah
90 is already crazy work

[deft crow]

i dont think i ever had to do 80

[raven ermine]

Good for you

[zenith bane]

So each ten pull after 50 is +2℅ for 6*?

[plain hemlock]

you need to bypass several RNG checks at 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90%, it's easy to see how almost impossible it is

[coarse notch]

each individual pull is +2%

[pale tapir]

each single pull

[zenith bane]

What.

[coarse notch]

so each 10 pull is +20%

[raven ermine]

That's why going so high is so unlikely

[coarse notch]

if it was +2% with every 10 pull that'd be awful

[zenith bane]

Wow. Never in my life I would know a gacha game having rates like these

[spice nexus]

What exactly is the deployment requirement for Advance Sensor? The game says nothing at all yet it randomly cannot be deployed somewhere

[deft crow]

i mean reaching 50 in the first place is lower that average luck

[plain hemlock]

also no need for dupes or sig weapons

[gray mulch]

Yeah we have the best rates I think

[coarse notch]

well its made up for by lack of a 50/50 guarantee and questionable hard pity
still a gacha game after all
but for the average player it usually works out quite nicely

[raven ermine]

Yeah, but you can't really go by average probabilities with low sample number

[deft crow]

azur lane has much better rates

at least if you dont count ur

[coarse notch]

they have a different business model altogether though

[plain hemlock]

azur lane makes money from a different thing

[raven ermine]

Pretty sure there's better rates out there, but fact is, arknight's pull economy is very very decent

[deft crow]

true

unlike endfield

[raven ermine]

Not the place, but endfield is decent too

[zenith bane]

I mean true I started playing on lappy alt banner and got 3 6* (lappy alt vulpis Texas alt) not getting deep in the game and quitting before coming back and seeing the E2 of those operators

[eager totem]

how to use radian

[plain hemlock]

endfield looks pretty good for now tho

[frosty flame]

So I finally got the levels and lmd to e2 logos but gawdamn should I just wait for an event to get these items? Idek if I can get them without extensive story progression

[gray mulch]

Wdym how

[eager totem]

the humble integrated strategies:

[deft crow]

you place radian then place summon and do damage

[fast jetty]

who should i e2 first between logos and haruka

[plain hemlock]

depends on what skill you're using

[eager totem]

are they all useful depending on the situation

[frosty flame]

Ive tried IS but it seems like even 1 completed run (on lowest diffuculty sure) yields so little reward track progress

[gray mulch]

Farm ra/is. Later story first clears, annih first clears, sss missions also give rewards

[plain hemlock]

S2 and S3 are both very good and different from each other

[zenith bane]

This is my current account rn only did ten pulls with the free ten pull each event sole exception of the saki collab who should I focus lvl up I already aiming for monster e2 who should I e2 next

[raven ermine]

Yes
Either an event or you farm those from IS/RA
Story stages rates are worse than events, it's a lot more expensive overall, outside of like, t2 rocks

If you didn't know, you farm t3s and craft in workshop

[eager totem]

the deep exploration and monthly squads gives u what u need

[brazen gulch]

depends on what you already have but by default prioritize damage over everything else

[frosty flame]

Monthly squads is only after the full reward track has been compketed tho right?

[raven ermine]

Also i think i remember you having issues with some of your ops not being leveled enough
Rushing an E2 would do that to you
take the time to raise your other units and baseslaves

[frosty flame]

Yeah logos was kinda the reason I was having leveling issues, I thought e2 could help as a carry

[deft crow]

if you missed them, yes

[gray mulch]

Yeah IS is a bit of a grind. You can learn the is5 lamp speedrun method or try RA glowstick method instead if you want faster

[plain hemlock]

You use S2 as a melee/low-ground operator with range for good physical damage. S3 are basically casters that deal significant arts damage and you can overlay their ranges to hit enemies with all of them

[pale tapir]

momoka works ok at e1 so I'd still put logos as higher prio e2 than her
but yes if you're struggling with resources better to invest into base/base ops first to make ur life easier

[eager totem]

wait doesnt rm give the logussy t5 mat

[raven ermine]

Last time i checked it was one

[frosty flame]

Is that what the guide on roadless shows? I was planning on just following that for RA after doin the tutorial

[raven ermine]

Maybe there's more now that we have a few more levels

[gray mulch]

All skills are used. S1 for blocking/stalling, s2 for laneholding, s3 for dmg, usually you use s2

[gray mulch]

Yes it is

What was logussy t5 mat again

[eager totem]

yo what where did u get this from

u unlock monthly squads by doing a single run no

[gray mulch]

For the past IS yes

[deft crow]

yes but if you missed some of them you cant do them until the end of this is

[eager totem]

yeh and theres 4 completed is which is more than enough for the chips

[urban sleet]

Get sakiko's module to lvl2
Raise that mlynar but kinda low priority imo since you already have a boss killer in lemue
E2 hoshi2 asw
And I hope you have been doing your masteries

[gray mulch]

IS6 is currently ongoing so you can only do current monthly squad

[primal zealot]

howdo i change the main assistant for the profile

it says u can change avatar in ui config no idea what that means

[deft crow]

assistant and avatar is different things

[zenith bane]

What masteries

[primal zealot]

how do i change the avatar

[urban sleet]

main skills for your good units, training room exists for a reason

[buoyant sigil]

Just wondering, would a Ray start be good random thoughts

[urban sleet]

(Pls dont touch afk skills like sakiko s2)

[zenith bane]

Oooo yeah I have lvl one s3 saki and lappy alt

[gray mulch]

You can change your assistant in home UI settings. You can change avatar in the same place you took that screenshot from

[eager totem]

tuya s1 RAHH

[deft crow]

ye but you can probably only do you assistant here, unless there is some paid avatar

[primal zealot]

is it just lappland how do i change the avatar to some other op

[urban sleet]

well do them
Can do sakiko mod2 alongside unless mats overlap

Raise mlnar after all this is done

[rain forge]

set someone else as your homescreen assistant iirc

[zenith bane]

Okay ill do that thanks

[gray mulch]

There's free avatars from event rewards, you can do old record restoration events for some

[hollow comet]

chen3 s3 scale on enemies' max or current HP? and what is the difference or they are the same thing?

[primal zealot]

i have like a group set as my homescreen assistants how do i pick a specific operator from them to show up as the avatar operator

[urban sleet]

Max is hp at full
Current is well, currently ehat it is

[deft crow]

most of the characters will not have custom one tho unless you use them as your assistant
who do you want to place there?

[primal zealot]

grace bearer

[deft crow]

ye she doesnt have one

[gray mulch]

Swap to the one you want and save before you exit out, or just remove the ones you don't want to always have that one on

[buoyant sigil]

^^

[deft crow]

you have to use her as assistant

[primal zealot]

alr

[rain forge]

for IS? No imo

[hollow comet]

so technically the first hit on an enemy with full hp is scaled with their max HP ?

[urban sleet]

Dont think so, sucks before e2 iirc

[gray mulch]

For is6? No

[raven ermine]

I would definitely raise your e2s before masteries/mods
Hoshi2 > mlynar > sash > surtr > texalt
And e1 monster

Masteries and mods are way more expensive than e2ing an unit if you exclude lmd/exp, which you should be getting for free from base/rewards

[crystal flame]

Can anyone help advise me on who to pick? I have Silver Ash and Ascalon.

[buoyant sigil]

For an account I mean I had been wondering about how good some ops are as your first 6 star and such things

[raven ermine]

pick saria

[gray mulch]

Oh she's fine yeah

[primal zealot]

it worked thanks

[brazen gulch]

texas?

[raven ermine]

That's a texas alter, yes

[brazen gulch]

ah. alter

[urban sleet]

In that case yeah, any meta 6 star works as a good start for an account

Is texas2 raiseworthy in current day tho

[gray mulch]

If they already have her I'd rec raise her

[buoyant sigil]

Would she be the sorta 6 star that goes “I want to eat up all your resources for e2 immediately” tho

[urban sleet]

Its e1

[brazen gulch]

pretty inconvenient when people say just exu/texas without "2" or similar when they're actually referring to their alters

[raven ermine]

Obviously
She's not worthy to spark, and you don't use her much if you have better units
But that's not the case there

[raven ermine]

I already edited the first time, so this serves no purpose
And context matter

[gray mulch]

You'd want to e2 your starter 6* first anyways I don't think that's an issue

[urban sleet]

I personally feel lapp2/hoshi2/mlynar/lemuen are pretty good to invalidate texas2 herr, but welp she acts as a panic button too so ig she's valid for that role here

[buoyant sigil]

Makes sense.

[raven ermine]

She also snipes a few troublesome enemies, is a decent stun bomb, and can work "globally"
It's not like their 12 slots are filled

[urban sleet]

Fair enough

[spice nexus]

How am I supposed to fight RM6? Literally just tank the boss until I max out efficiency?

[buoyant sigil]

I’ve found that some “I absolutely need E2 to even function” ops can be pretty annoying not gonna lie mm

[buoyant sigil]

You wanna kill it, usually, especially because of how killing the boss is what maxes that one resource

[gray mulch]

You can kill boss early it doesn't end the stage

[deft crow]

you can just ignore the boss and get efficiency
you dont have to kill it to get max

it doesnt do anything if you dont block it

[gray mulch]

Well the loadout in my guide relies on killing boss to reach max but if you brought equip to make up for it you could

[deft crow]

i dont think boss even gives mats

[gray mulch]

It does

[deft crow]

which one?

[gray mulch]

The cores and stick thingy forget the name

[deft crow]

3 formations on the map is enough to get max cores, it even has 5 of them

[coarse tide]

Kill the boss to assert dominance

[gray mulch]

Strategic beacons*

[deft crow]

you can kill it after you get to max

[gray mulch]

You can kill it whenever you want

[coarse tide]

I did both
-# with wisadel

[deft crow]

i killed boss with ulpi

[deft crow]

i mean that you can just finish the map, get max eff and then restart the map and ignore the mats and kill the boss

[crystal flame]

Is the Arknight Tier List website legit? Should I make decisions based on it?

[severe crypt]

If it’s not a specific specific tier list, it’ll suck

[gray mulch]

Ah yeah you could

[gray mulch]

Tier lists are controversial here

[crystal flame]

Okay, good to know

[gray mulch]

From what I remember of that one you mention it had some questionable ratings too

[hoary ruin]

Yeah for a tierlist to "work" for AK it would need to be per mode and you don't need one at all for story content since pretty much anyone works there.

[crystal flame]

Ahhhh, thank you for the explanation

[gray mulch]

Like not even the "it always depends on context" it rated tragodia as a tier lower than the top iirc

[severe crypt]

Like it’d need to be a tier list for “is6 gvg ed245” for it to be usable

[crystal flame]

So, for this decision, I’m specifically looking for which character I should pic for the story. I have silver ash and Ascalon.

Still Seria?

[gray mulch]

Yes saria. You can follow the voucher guide in pins for all the vouchers

[hoary ruin]

Yeah trag is a great example of why tierlists are bad.

[frosty flame]

Might be getting a little ahead of myself but when I finally get the promotion mats for e2 logos, should I use the training apparatus on him to get level 80?

[neon siren]

Quick question
If we are talking about IS mode generally, is lemuen s2 better or s3 better?
Also considering the fact that s3 is m3 on my lemuen.

Also, now what if I have archetto max IS mod drafted aswell, is lemuen S1 better then s2 and s3 due to the amt of times I ca use it due to archetto and the extra dmg her mod provides to offensive recovery units.

[robust thistle]

lemuen wouldnt even have the chance to fire off S2 in IS

and cheeto battery comp is a meme more than anything

[neon siren]

But it kinda controls the game in some stages tho

Sakiko can spam boosted s3

[waxen dove]

how to play arknights anymore man
i cant find anything to do

[median fable]

it's a meme, far from optimal

[robust thistle]

controls the game in what way

archetto alone can do that without lemuen

[median fable]

like, the comp works for the general player and it's "funny" for some, but it's not meta

[neon siren]

But helps alot in terms of bosses and dps, atleast when i use her

[median fable]

as I said, the fact that it worked doesn't mean it's meta

[robust thistle]

I mean the fact that you cant really explain where, when or how it helps a lot

[neon siren]

So maybe it works consistently, but considered to other stars and operator used in IS it's not meta.

But rn I'm talking abt my acc rt, so if cant afford th meta, ill just use what works for me

Again, all I wanted to know is lemuen S1 reliable with ARCHETTO compared to s3, cuz ik s3 is better without archetto drafted, but since her mod exists and I can take adv over it, what would work better?

[coarse notch]

archetto comp works fine, its a tier below meta
sakiko is a fine draft for that, lemuen is a meme

[robust thistle]

lemuen S1 is just a powerstrike skill

[spice nexus]

Do abjurers like Quercus get increased ASPD from warning outpost?

[coarse notch]

just saw your account, dont bother with lemuen s1

[neon siren]

General dps rlly, in IS4 and IS 5 where there are waves of enemies and elite enemies being able to spam offensive recovery s3 multiple times in a short duration with all ur offensive recovery operators helps alot.

IS3 during stages like the nest or the spread when placed in diff position can spam s3 and clear mobs.

I'm not saying that other lane holders don't exist, in keeping it tied to my acc with my limited amt of operators and fire power.

[robust thistle]

and we're saying lemuen S1 is still a meme

[neon siren]

Okay, I'm just asking if it works or not lmao

[severe crypt]

They need to do dmg to get more aspd, so once she starts healing, no extra aspd, haruka does benefit tho

[robust thistle]

it "works", like how anything "works"

[neon siren]

Ohka

[coarse notch]

always use lemuen s3
lemuen s2 sucks ass

[neon siren]

Yea okay, just wanted that lmfao

[robust thistle]

yes it works because it charges her S1 faster, no its not good because S1 deals jack shit damage

[spice nexus]

Haruka specifically? Because her bubbles deal damage?

[severe crypt]

Basically fully ramp up s2 then convert the outpost

[neon siren]

Okay thx

[neon siren]

Kay, so s3 is better than the other skills most situations

[coarse notch]

not most, in virtually every situation

[spice nexus]

Yeah I'm just trying to see if the mechanics match because Abjurers say their "attacks" heal allies instead, and warning outpost says "ASPD per 'attack'"

[pale tapir]

lemon s2 has its uses but s3 is typically straight better for the vast majority of situations

[severe crypt]

Yeah sadly it needs to do dmg else mon3tr s2 woulda worked

Maybe mon3tr s3 could work but haven’t tested

Tho quercus might instead want the archive buffed outpost instead

[deft crow]

it does work with Folinic tho

[neon siren]

Hmm alr

[deft crow]

you get the buff with s2 and then she has more aspd when it ends

[severe crypt]

That’s cuz s2 does dmg

[neon siren]

Okay thx

[neon siren]

Kay

[severe crypt]

Wait are you talking about outposts or lemuen

[neon siren]

Lemuen in IS

[deft crow]

so its easy to use with haruka too, just need to charge the skill somehow while she is on it

[severe crypt]

Just delay the outpost conversion

Wait till s2 is online then convert

[neon siren]

Oh ohkay

[slate ridge]

the bubble proc counts as her attacking and buffs her aspd btw

[deft crow]

oh, that

[severe crypt]

That’s what I’ve been talking about

[deft crow]

ye, it would have worked even if it didnt, thats what i meant

[slate ridge]

anything that can attack an enemy will buff aspd
e.g. Stainless S3

[deft crow]

just would have to stack the buff before using the skill

[slate ridge]

just use S2 and it stacks itself ?

[deft crow]

ye but it works for other characters that can attack in skill like i said with Folinic

[slate ridge]

Mon3tr S3 is a time bomb
if placed before Outpost turning black then her skill during black Outpost will remove the Outpost
and it counts as her being on the ground not Outpost = no aspd buff

[deft crow]

so quercus will work if she stacks the buffs before using the skill

you just need to charge her skill externally

[severe crypt]

Weird huh

[deft crow]

or just dont activate it before you stack it

[brazen gulch]

are record restoration/event rewards supposed to become available after said event's rerun? or is it just whenever hg feels like it? asking because Wanqing isn't yet available even though the event rerun almost half a year ago atp

[slate ridge]

RR is 2 years after event

[brazen gulch]

dayum

unfortunate

[frosty flame]

Which of these has the most useful ops, I only have haze and meteor from here

[slate ridge]

Shamare Pram ig

[deft crow]

you will most likely not get 5* anyway

[frosty flame]

Ik but hey

[lavish palm]

Which tag would you guys recommend ?? I'm thinking about going for defence since I need another good defender (only got Saria, would love to get Mudrock)

[spice nexus]

Is there a way to like check how much ASPD we've stacked via warning outpost?

[deft crow]

count the attacks

[frosty flame]

Is franka worth building as a guard? I havr her and I was thinking I needed another one on my squad besides sash

Or the one from IS

[gray mulch]

Slow for 50% suzu, or crowd control. Mudrock is not recommended anymore

[frosty flame]

:/

[gray mulch]

Cuora is unironically a decent defender invest in your cuora if you need a defender

[frosty flame]

I dont have a cuora

[deft crow]

i still use cuora mostly tbh, tho defenders are not exactly needed

[gray mulch]

You'll get one eventually

[lethal void]

i see that a bunch of people use silence alter, should i build her too or is she niche?

[frosty flame]

I just feel like som1 else besides spectre and sash as a guard would be nice in some stages

[coarse notch]

shes just not good

[coarse notch]

those are good enough, franka and highmore are not worth building
do you have a krooster account

[deft crow]

rip highmore

[gray mulch]

Get tequila bro

[waxen dove]

hoederer worth bulding or nah

[pale tapir]

highmorbed bc welfare rip

[gray mulch]

He's pretty much used in IS only

[lavish palm]

Thank you
I saw a lot of people use Suzu so I thought it might be the best pick. Too bad about Mudrock, I really like her after using her during this event

[waxen dove]

thats all i have left in this game anyway

[deft crow]

he is alright, you can build him if you will use him

[echo venture]

the problem is the limited uses he has

he's squishy to most enemies

[gray mulch]

He only gets good with attackspeed but I'd say he's worth if you play IS a lot

[coarse notch]

you only use him in is5 btw

[deft crow]

with haruka he will be fine, not that i have him

[gray mulch]

Yeah suzu is quite good. The chance for mudrock isn't good anyways so I'd recommend slow ye. Good luck

[deft crow]

1 in 5 to get mudmud and 2 in 5 to get not very good characters

slow is 50% for suzu

[gray mulch]

It was defense so 1 in 6 🚮

[deft crow]

oh its defence, well thorns is not that bad to get

[severe crypt]

In the big 26??

[deft crow]

(i have both of his modules maxed, its cope)

[signal dragon]

what's thorns gonna do

[gray mulch]

I also have both his mods maxed but can't recommend him

[deft crow]

i used him before sakiko sometimes tbh, but now i will rather use her

[winter crystal]

He’s a “mid to late game lane holder” - gen chat

But no

[severe crypt]

Gen chat would shill a Chevy cavalier if it looked cool

[winter crystal]

If bad why hot?

[obtuse raptor]

What type of inspiration does uika give?

[gray mulch]

Atk + def on s1, atk on s2

[obtuse raptor]

Alr ty

[obtuse raptor]

Oh thats the inspiration stats i thought thats her own stats 😭

[winter crystal]

Why would I send you her own stats

[gray mulch]

The wording is pretty clear in game

[winter crystal]

One of these days ima gather 11 buffers and uber buff logos S1 to funny delete bosses

[gray mulch]

A worthy aspiration

I can't think of anything other than skalter, stainless, warf, eyja, 4sui the bards don't stack
Oh aak

[frosty flame]

Im ngl I totally forgot he was a guard

[brazen gulch]

spuria

[urban sleet]

Saria arts amp and res shred like texas2/ifrit

[gray mulch]

Nah atk buff only it's funnier

[thorny edge]

rbpeanus

[gray mulch]

Doesn't work with logos

[thorny edge]

mon3tr gives 15%

turia gives 30%

[gray mulch]

Oh yeah now we're cooking

[winter crystal]

Monster mod plus pot is 25?

Just gotta keep stacking attack

[thorny edge]

mod plus pot is 30 iirc

[winter crystal]

Ahhh ok sweet

Yeah pot gives 5% and mod gives 10%

[nova nest]

Module is CN only, right?

[winter crystal]

Yeah it’s coming like enchiladas Y mod

[brazen gulch]

ah, we're buffing logos specifically

[winter crystal]

For his funny delete yeah

[brazen gulch]

i just had a thought

can theresa's s3 rearrange hoshi2 out of the amar- something state

[winter crystal]

You mean red hp state?

[brazen gulch]

ya

actually i just realized i can borrow theresa so i can test

[winter crystal]

I don’t know how the game calculates categorizes redistribution of hp values unfortunately

[brazen gulch]

will be back in a couple minutes

[crystal holly]

if i'm leveling windscoot for is6, does it matter if i upgrade his skill/level him past e1?

[brazen gulch]

it does!!

even more reason to build her ❤️

[winter crystal]

I don’t even deploy him just recruit for the number of yan ops. If you plan to over E2 him in IS6 (idk why) you can promote past E1 but E1 is fine

[heavy basalt]

I'm on chapter 13 and encountered the bomb cart mechanic. Are they supposed to do anything when you activate them? I've tried doing that and they just sit there and do nothing while the enemies respawn constantly.

[crystal holly]

ah i see thank you

[brazen gulch]

you need to hit them to charge up their velocity. once they hit an altar, they explode, destroying it and therefore preventing the blood things from respawning

[heavy basalt]

Oh ok, that helps.

[ancient current]

DoT is a good way to deal with them

[heavy basalt]

The tutorial confused me cause it gave the impression that you just activate and forget about it

[brazen gulch]

dot, hitcount, ya

[formal shadow]

We playing TF2 in Arknights

[lunar apex]

Titan fall or team fortress ?

[ancient current]

drop this conversation

[deep topaz]

Does schwars have any use or niche in 2026 arknights content?

[ancient current]

no

[formal shadow]

Dead

Don't even think sniperknights uses her either. There's enough damage

[subtle dawn]

Is pinecone, may, or meteor worth using over kroos or kroos2?

[gray mulch]

May for slow pinecone for aoe meteor for def debuff

[formal shadow]

I wouldn't really bother. They're placeholders anyway

[gray mulch]

For general anti air you're fine with kroos

[formal shadow]

Kroos and maybe may for IS drafting

[subtle dawn]

I needa bring 3 ranged units to saltfin graveyard so who would y'all recommend I bring out of those characters?

[formal shadow]

You don't need to

[gray mulch]

Don't you only need 1 or 2

[lyric lagoon]

kroos/may should be enough

[formal shadow]

Pretty much just need someone for bottom right

[winter crystal]

Pinecone in IS5 start is pretty goated too

[subtle dawn]

I wanna put two ranged units bottom right and one top right to support my la pluma

[gray mulch]

Pinecone ig

[inland swallow]

which 6star should i up to e2 first?

[coarse notch]

logos

[winter crystal]

Then get his delta mod to mod lvl3

Stop investing in lumen vina and blaze, gladiia is fine where she is unless you want to do some niche ulipi gaming

[flint onyx]

Firewatch is better than kroos(3* one)? Or 5* snipers not worth it other then kroos alter?

[winter crystal]

Kroos and kroos alter is usually all you need to kill flying drones

And kroosalter only needs E1

[gray mulch]

There's good ones like greyyalt but firewatch is not one

[astral thorn]

,im new and I got Texas from recruit, is she worth building when I have e1 lvl 55 fang?

[inland swallow]

noted! i'll only invest in Logos until later units, w8ing for silver ash and pramanix alter banner thx for the suggestions, guys

[brazen gulch]

not really, 3/4 star vanguards work just fine 99.9% of the time

[astral thorn]

Thx

[ancient current]

firewatch is actually decent

...in 5*knights, and she's still not worth it

[astral thorn]

Thanks

[ancient current]

she's near the high end of 5* but you still are not building her

[dull estuary]

Should I prioritise this for my e2 lvl 60 sakiko

[urban sleet]

Module lvl 2 is minimum, lvl3 would be best

[dull estuary]

And should I always be running her third skill or is her second skill considerable

[urban sleet]

S3 always, s2 is afkslop propaganda by freaks from afk cult

[dull estuary]

Afk cult? 😭

[winter crystal]

Also know as gen chat yeah

[urban sleet]

True that cult resides in #arknights

[deft crow]

s1 for afk

[pseudo flume]

That's Fever Spam Propaganda

[urban sleet]

Dont mention that in front of des even as a joke, he will lose it

[deft crow]

its unironically good with umiri

and it actually activates her talent unlike s2

[pseudo flume]

Above Average ig

[winter crystal]

Decent (so above mid)

[urban sleet]

Decent but not meta or so they say

[gray mulch]

S1 is for +5% atk per skill stacking

[pseudo flume]

Formerly Meta 🤫

[urban sleet]

Degenmommy didn't age well 🥀

[winter crystal]

Has good use in IS4

[deft crow]

what do you mean 5% atk

[gray mulch]

It's a relic I forget the name

[deft crow]

oh ye, i actually used her with that

pretty good, but i still was wrecked by shards on ending 2

i thought surely i can kill them, and couldnt kill any of them

[brazen gulch]

||in that case i hereby declare an invasion||

[severe crypt]

[brazen gulch]

would be fun with that sp cost reduction relic on every skill usage (or was it sp recovery increase? eh)

[short steppe]

[ember steppe]

1 spin is she good

[winter crystal]

She’s decent, made slightly worse by SA alter coming soon

[ember steppe]

damn

[oak shale]

She's a personal favorite of mine for how comfy she is to use

[winter crystal]

She’s Suzu mama tho

[gray mulch]

I think it's autorec increase so wouldn't work. But the 2sp per attack for guards lets her spam s1 on every attack

[ember steppe]

so is it recommended to up vulpi

[brazen gulch]

oh yeah it was probably auto recovery since i remember using with nymph s2

[hybrid bluff]

Are there any stages that make my logos deal 100k dmg?

[reef sparrow]

Myrtle + matsu looks fine

[short steppe]

What channel would I use to figure out what stages to farm to get grindstones

[brazen gulch]

matsukiri will work fine most of the time but upgrading her won't be a waste

[winter crystal]

IS (if you mean for mod purposes go to the free OF stages and run them until you complete it)

[hybrid bluff]

[short steppe]

[brazen gulch]

#bot-spam /materials i believe

[ember steppe]

yeah there'll be times when u need two 2 block vanguard

[hybrid bluff]

For mod yea

[gray mulch]

Don't farm grindstone from story get it anywhere else

[winter crystal]

Then yeah run some free sanity OF stages in the side stories

[urban sleet]

I am concerned about your pull decisions but I have no right to berate you on it so you do you

[hybrid bluff]

Alr

[short steppe]

Why not

[urban sleet]

Story mode counts for mod missions btw
Off you go to 11-6

[gray mulch]

Bad rates and they're infinite in event shop

[ember steppe]

1 SPIN I SWEAR

[hoary ruin]

6 clears will get you no grindstones or 2 if you're lucky.

[urban sleet]

Yeah sounds like gambler's syndrome leaking out, you won this time but could have been a waste

[short steppe]

what Certs should I use then lol

[winter crystal]

50+ pulls 🫂

[ember steppe]

yeah could be worse

[gray mulch]

Grab them from ra/is, story first clears, annih first clears, sss missions, event etc. If you already cleared all those then green cert shop. And if you already cleared green shop and still desperate THEN you farm story

[brazen gulch]

wait they're what? wasn't it loxic kohl and manganese ore

[reef sparrow]

tbf, noir is enough to be your 2nd "vanguard"

[short steppe]

just trying to find the most effective way to make Bipolar Nanoflakes for my s2m3 Ines upgrade . . . I have two out of six I need already-

I need to craft 8 White Horse Kohl and Optimized devices

• I need 8 sugar packs
• 3 grindstones

[verbal onyx]

Guys i accidently get Ray, is she good?

[gray mulch]

Oh mb they're not infinite on gl yet starting next next event I think

[urban sleet]

Dunno how you 'accidentally' get ray but yeah she's good

[hoary ruin]

S3 Binds targets, does heavy single target phys damage, excellent boss killer overall.

[verbal onyx]

I just want see the banner but get press 10 pull and that happen

[winter crystal]

“Accidentally”

spent 40 pulls

[gray mulch]

Look for them in the mat sources I mentioned above. We also get RM reward expansion in an hour

[urban sleet]

I think I am not going to continue this line of curiosity

[verbal onyx]

So its very good to build her right?

[gray mulch]

Very good if you need ranged phys

[urban sleet]

You got 4 confirmations already to build her how many more do you wsnt

[hoary ruin]

Yes. The only reason you'd consider not building her would be if you're short mats and already built Lemuen.

[silver smelt]

guys please validate my pulls

[urban sleet]

Would still build if lemuen but depending on roster would change priority

[gray mulch]

With laterano in the name they might have lemuen

[silver smelt]

come to think of it where are you even using ray if you have lemuen?

[verbal onyx]

Exactly i have her ofc lol

[urban sleet]

Yes ebenholz is hot, but p6 or bust

[hoary ruin]

I have both of them. One strong ranged DPS good, two strong ranged DPS better.

[urban sleet]

Kill faster or one for phase 1 other for phase 2

Whatever you wsnt to make of your extra dps that is, after all it's extra

[worn drift]

Hi guys, quick question here. If I fail a stage do I lost any sanity?

[urban sleet]

Not these days

[marble viper]

what pulls

[raven ermine]

No, they removed the penalty

[gray mulch]

You only lose sanity if you clear the stage. So you can fail but you should quit out if you clear less than 3 star clear

[worn drift]

so what the practice mode for

[raven ermine]

[gray mulch]

For back when failing cost sanity

[pale tapir]

when u wanna full clear without using sanity (like for videos)

[hoary ruin]

Quitting a stage early costs no sanity, if you leak any enemies, but not enough to fail, you spend sanity when it ends.

Annihilation stages also cost stam if you kill enough enemies. If you want to do test runs on anni stages you'll have to close the app, rather than quitting out via menu.

[deft crow]

if you dont want to complete the stage you can use practice

[urban sleet]

For ppl who want to do creative clears/help others withoht spending sanity

[pale tapir]

practice is specifically useful for when you do want to complete the stage now too btw
just without rewards and without sanity consumption (and ofc u won't unlock next stage)

[fluid vale]

For content creator who dont want to waste sanity when making content? Idk ask hg

[deft crow]

its very nice that they removed practice tickets, now i can play stage 100 times in practice mode

[worn drift]

aight bet bet thanks guy. will continue trying JT8-2 then

[reef sparrow]

malding CM stages were

[tiny abyss]

Didnt CM cost 3 practice tickets

[gray mulch]

Yes

[subtle dawn]

How come e1 lvl 30 pinecone, e2 lvl 80 specter, and e1 lvl 30 la pluma isn't enough to hold the top right in saltfin graveyard they start dying at around the 300 enemy mark

[deft crow]

and you lost like half sanity if failing not in practice mode

[urban sleet]

What are their skill levels

[ancient current]

imagine u completed your farming sessions and are out of sanity, but remember u need to practice that one stage again
or are a content creator and forgor to record

u dont have enough sanity to even start the stage

[marble viper]

no healer?

[deft crow]

buy sanity with orignum

[raven ermine]

Oooh
so nothing, right

[subtle dawn]

Specter and la pluma is 5 and pinecone is 0

[urban sleet]

Well

[tiny abyss]

Erm

[reef sparrow]

damn no skill pinecone

[marble viper]

uhuh

[subtle dawn]

No healer you think I should replace pinecone with healer?

[rain forge]

do I just yolo

none of the options seem appealing

[marble viper]

i mean if no skill (jk skill lvl 1 ) then yes?

[urban sleet]

Crowd control for 1/5 kafka

[reef sparrow]

sounds like a dupli gold cert time

[gray mulch]

No you just need to bring a defender and swap it in at that timing

[urban sleet]

Oh wsit yeah if you can get gold certs go for them before kafka

[rain forge]

I alr have diamante for tailoring tho

[silver smelt]

kafka sleep bot niche

[gray mulch]

Iirc kyo's guide plops down beagle top right, lets it die, and it works. No need for medic

[urban sleet]

Sleep stall frd niche

[raven ermine]

Kafka is not there for tailoring

[rain forge]

I’ll go Kafka then ig

[subtle dawn]

When specter died I put spot but he got clapped too

[tiny abyss]

-# i curse texas

[rain forge]

Kafka wants e0 sl1 right

[gray mulch]

Well spot has lower defense

[urban sleet]

Imo prefer gold certs if they sre guaranteed cuz lets be honest are you ever using her can be nice to have ig but thats it

[raven ermine]

e0 is what is important, the rest you just don't care

[gray mulch]

Kafka doesn't need skill levels the sleep duration stays the same

[raven ermine]

Ig sl7 would be slightly better if for some reason you need her to finish her skill but that never happened to me

[rain forge]

I can go dps vanguard for guaranteed gold certs

[reef sparrow]

sl7 means e1

[raven ermine]

ah sl4 yeah

[urban sleet]

You choose
Gold certs or nice-to-have niche op

[rain forge]

how niche is kafka

[raven ermine]

Very

[subtle dawn]

If I level up pinecones skill to 5 you think I can beat it?

[reef sparrow]

like I have her 0% trust since I got her (probably 3 years ago)

[raven ermine]

But good niche that you can use anywhere if you're good

[rain forge]

Eh it’s only a 20% chance for Kafka I’ll just go gold certs

[urban sleet]

Pretty much a case of you being creative cuz I dont think any optimal account uses it for optimal clears

[rain forge]

Yeah no I’m takin the certs

[gray mulch]

Still nice to have a second tailoring what's the tag tho spec 5* are good

[raven ermine]

It's crowd control so not spec

[reef sparrow]

you won't use kafka for tailoring

[raven ermine]

e0 tailoring isn't that bad

[gray mulch]

Well you want two to swap between

[urban sleet]

He has diamante he has no use indeed
I suggested kafka for tailoring earlier to someone rlse but thats cuz they didnt have shamare so it was bibeak/diamante, and they didnt have cc currency for bibeak

[raven ermine]

What

[gray mulch]

Ah nvm then
