[split sphinx]

Yeah idt this is allowed

[pale scaffold]

huh?

i mean it shouldn't count as promoting right

[lyric lagoon]

it does cause the two servers are ran by diff publishers

[pale scaffold]

[split sphinx]

Sending invite links just isn't cool in general

[lyric lagoon]

guess the invite link autoban thing is truly broken rn

[pale scaffold]

weird... i think official link is normal

[lyric lagoon]

official or not, they’re two diff games with servers ran by two diff publishers

[pale scaffold]

what's endfield publisher actually

[lyric lagoon]

gryphline, also off-topic

[rose mist]

Aint it HG themselves

[pale scaffold]

thought it was on topic because also thought gryphline and hypergryph is the same thing

well guess it wasnt

[coarse notch]

arknights global isnt published by hypergryph anyways

[pale scaffold]

it was yostar wasnt it

[split sphinx]

#off-topic

[bronze swallow]

what's the deal with the rmh-8 boss?

sometimes it arrives at the center lane early, sometimes it doesn't

[robust thistle]

check the bar at the top

the more enemies you kill, the faster the boss shows up

[pine plover]

nah, the more block you deploy, the faster it spawns

[robust thistle]

oh its based on the thingies?

[candid badger]

yea based on the block you added

[pine plover]

i actually paid attention to it and the boss marker on the progress bar advance when i deploy terrain and stuff

[robust thistle]

that makes sense because the sensor hubs proliferate like cockroaches

[pine plover]

well, no...
only thing that you deploy yourself

[slate ridge]

faster kill = faster block gen = faster block deploy = faster boss spawn

[robust thistle]

its only manual deploy?

[slate ridge]

ye

[robust thistle]

huh

does it count if I deploy it and then retreat it

[slate ridge]

ye

[robust thistle]

ok that makes sense

[slate ridge]

Its really just this throughout the game

[robust thistle]

ah

[chilly granite]

Is the new 4-star agent worth using in IS6 (over the other 4-star VG’s)?

[coarse notch]

no

[pale scaffold]

can mech caster drone still attack if the caster is stunned

[frigid plover]

only when the drone locks onto a target

[pale scaffold]

sounds easy when they have global range on some skill

[frigid plover]

that is exclusive to goldenglow and lappland and is not typical of the archetype

[pale scaffold]

i mean both 6* mech caster has global range, if there's more of them it would be a huge downgrade if they dont have global range

[young glacier]

So uh... How to win this cat

[proven kelp]

Kill it

[robust thistle]

just aspd buse it

[pale scaffold]

just tank it

[pine plover]

no need to do fancy, just murder

[wanton meadow]

Detector outpost and dump projectiles on it

[frigid plover]

every drone caster can lock onto targets except minimalist

[slate ridge]

damn not immune to tremble huh

[robust thistle]

degenbrecher tech?

[graceful vigil]

not necessarily a downgrade, global range isnt broken or anything

[wanton meadow]

Wait pompeii so this is h6 right?

[slate ridge]

RM 6

[wanton meadow]

Oh yew normal 6

[robust thistle]

h6 is the bug

[pale scaffold]

but it will def be weird

[robust thistle]

it wouldnt be weird if the kit is good
see: mantra

she has no 'deal elemental damage when enemy under X'
yet she works better than the rest of the primal casters

[paper gyro]

Is snegurochka's niche or meta

Adverse stage is so forgettable that the only thing i remember is the Robots on the last stage

[coarse notch]

i think theres an argument for her in archetto comp but otherwise no

[robust thistle]

off rec s1

[coarse notch]

john IS has been typing for a while now did i say something wrong

[frigid plover]

her main application is in d18 ed245 IS5 alongside Archetto (Archetto lamp, Fatedless Collections Tragodia, and opportunistically talons) as a secondary vanguard to Surfer en route and as a ball bouncer in ED5, especially for Reality of the End and Fractured

[pale scaffold]

it's so specific i can't tell if he's making this up

[coarse notch]

its real

[pine plover]

if even 99% of player touch d18

[paper gyro]

If it's a cn guy it's real, they read everything

[wanton meadow]

Legit the robots on the left oneshotting my weaker high ground units is more run ending than the boss

[pale scaffold]

yeah i trust him, i like his guides

[wanton meadow]

[frigid plover]

see a practical application of Snegurochka in d18 245t3f below https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1BNkRBdEkt

i like how you defined t3 egg in full but also brought up FCT

shes also the gvg person

[pine plover]

[paper gyro]

What's gvg o-o

[graceful vigil]

guard vanguard

[paper gyro]

Is it to clear a stage using those two classes

[frigid plover]

Sneg costs the same as Yato and does slightly more than bounce balls, so she does get drafted occasionally

[graceful vigil]

it is a class squad in IS

[paper gyro]

Ohic

https://is-central.github.io/is5-sarkaz/guard-vanguard-silverash/

[paper gyro]

I happened to have spooked surfer and have Ines, I guess I'll use them instead

[frigid plover]

tl;dr sneg is irrelevant for most players except the newest of players who have nothing else and extremely advanced players who know what they're doing

[paper gyro]

Yea the only is I did was d2 is6 so I'm casual

[marble viper]

W s1,s2, or s3

[pearl zinc]

She's free 0 hope...
More than enough

[marble viper]

guys W s1, s2 or s3

[frigid plover]

S2 but she's awful to use

[pine plover]

what even the context of gamemode

[frigid plover]

be patient

[marble viper]

looked like everyone suddenly went quiet

[frigid plover]

general content because she flops in everything else

[pine plover]

just use s3

[coarse notch]

s3 somehow feels even worse

[tender sleet]

for sss secret medal do I have to do every stage leakless or is it just don't fail a stage even once

[pine plover]

oh the og W

[marble viper]

i did say W

[pine plover]

no fail, leak OK

[coarse notch]

dont fail, restart, or exit the stage
leaking is fine

[paper gyro]

Does help use the Camelot spreadsheet for
Unit : role (niche) : role (meta) comparison

[robust thistle]

what does that mean

[paper gyro]

Build priorities

[ebon plaza]

do yall think i should do all the annihilations that don't give orundum for the first clear rewards or just wait

[robust thistle]

build priority is based on whats they have

[pearl zinc]

You can use og w to play tic tac toe

[coarse notch]

just do them now why wait

[proven kelp]

Just build first the one that is rated higher

[ebon plaza]

you have a point

[paper gyro]

There's annihilation that don't give ?

[pine plover]

[ebon plaza]

yeah the offseason stages

[pearl zinc]

Off-seasons give oru on first clear....

[paper gyro]

Thought they were locked out/greyed out

[ebon plaza]

oh did they mean first clear or every clear

[paper gyro]

First clears give some but yea . Haven't tried repeat clears because I auto lungmen town (for the rest I borrowed and couldn't auto)

[pearl zinc]

Repeated clear on off-seasons did nothing unfortunately, other than three original who always open

[frigid plover]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1oGsCz8ENj use these guides for annihilations

[pearl zinc]

Sometimes the current season kinda hard for newbies, guess sweeping on one out three original that always open is doable...

[sacred cave]

Are any of the upcoming new lower rarities Good?

[frigid plover]

no, very rarely are they good

[frigid plover]

not really with 2026 ops, you just need an optimised guide

[pearl zinc]

Yeah you can do it by borrowing modern ops....
But I don't think many people like staring screen for half hour...

[robust thistle]

huh?

[crisp loom]

Hoshi2 mod2 or 3?

[robust thistle]

3

[oak shale]

Will I be able to complete the current event before it ends? I've been slacking

[robust thistle]

yes

if you follow the longform guide in the thread it should take you like, 3 days to get max efficiency on all maps

the rest is just malding H stages

[pearl zinc]

I didn't even complete max efficiency but still cleared all rewards

[pine plover]

you malded H stages?
you dont need to fully slot all block card

[robust thistle]

placing outposts is hard yknow smh smh

[pine plover]

wdym hard

[slate ridge]

its only hard if you went for bottom row instead of maxing efficiency early

[marble viper]

does w bomb count as summons

[robust thistle]

yes

[solar knot]

which mod is better for gurd thorns

[nimble kite]

Yes.

[gentle bluff]

Necrosis

[robust thistle]

unless you have tragodia and willing to shoehorn thorns into your team, get the X mod

[solar knot]

i just want dps dont have tragodia

[robust thistle]

not modding him is also an option

[solar knot]

he is goood for afk

[robust thistle]

not a high bar

[solar knot]

i dont have sakiko

[robust thistle]

doesnt matter really, thorns got outclassed by a lot of dps, not just sakiko

[gentle bluff]

Magic mod good for trash mob, necrosis good for stronger mob. Pick ur poison

[nimble kite]

Annihilations yes.
Other content, including incoming events and Main Story - questionable.

[wanton meadow]

Thorns has long ramp up and the payoff isn't all that

[solar knot]

only for anni

[reef sparrow]

you're already half the stage completion before you fully activate his S3

[robust thistle]

nowadays everytime I bring thorns, his skill is up halfway through the stage, and I have to intentionally shaft my setup first otherwise he wont get his skill up

[solar knot]

i use him for annihilation mostly or is with asp buffs

[robust thistle]

thorns is ASS in any IS

single target vs multiple tanky enemies with warmup is asking to die

[solar knot]

he is already max lvl 60

Im old player fyi

[robust thistle]

doesnt change the general stance on thorns
just get the X mod, or dont mod him if youre poor

[wanton meadow]

Thorns has to get carried in IS until he gets e2 and that's not great, you don't wanna draft a dead slot on your starter

[solar knot]

who is generally used as lord dps if not thorns ?

[robust thistle]

you dont have to use lords

[proven kelp]

Sakiko
Literally an upgrade over it

[robust thistle]

why are we limiting to these subclasses

[steady tusk]

degenbencher

[robust thistle]

even if you use sakiko its because shes a good dps, not because shes a lord

[proven kelp]

So true
She is our God

[wanton meadow]

Even sakiko has the same issue of being just meh before finding her e2 promo

[rain forge]

since they teased snegu can we expect mantra this week?

[oak shale]

Our Lord and Savior

[wanton meadow]

But atleast it's not thorns bad

[proven kelp]

At least we can say Ep16 is next.

[solar knot]

ok i will keep him as it

[nimble kite]

Lemme pat the bear with my Wis already

[reef sparrow]

[wanton meadow]

Base enjoyer?

[proven kelp]

Tf is a sneg

[nimble kite]

Canta and Surfer still better combat-wise, you sure?

[reef sparrow]

for base

[wanton meadow]

[nimble kite]

Well, I would wait her from other next banners. Not necessarily need to pull this one.

[livid crest]

Is almond the specialist a good gold base worker assuming I have no other operators quite like her? Or was there similar welfare unit that I can get somewhere?

[robust thistle]

pretty sure she has either a morale or capacity penalty, also almond isnt a welfare
bryophyta is gold worker

just go to /baseskills and look for a generic 25% factory worker

or like one of the 30% gold workers

[nimble kite]

Morale. He can pair with Wai Fu tho.

[robust thistle]

yeah but thats E2 waiifu

[nimble kite]

That's kinda not my problem anymore.

[signal geode]

Are the sakiko collab characters actually good?

[silver smelt]

sakiko is good

[robust thistle]

sakiko good, the rest are varying levels of decent-good

[signal geode]

Other than her, cuz she buffs the rest

[robust thistle]

uika and mutsumi, also its the opposite

[silver smelt]

no, the rest buff her
so they are decent good at best in the context of buffing sakiko

[signal geode]

Wha

[signal geode]

OH, so should I use them in the same team?

[robust thistle]

sakiko is good enough alone

[nimble kite]

We mean... you can use only Sakichan and you'll be definitely fine.

Using any others is just either waifu team reasons or pinching the Fever faster.

[signal geode]

Oh

[livid crest]

Fever meter been carrying me so far, whole band is just that good. Though would like to have other ops in the future

[signal geode]

So Do i hse the whole band

[untold dawn]

Is this worth it? Anyone else I would want to give these tokens to? From my understanding the limited ops are always the best to use it on

[robust thistle]

I mean its just flex

p0 and p6 sakiko has like minimal difference

[nimble kite]

Ideally you just use Sakichan and forget about the rest, putting other ops.

[livid crest]

If you plan to build her full and have no other good dps, sure

[robust thistle]

its just like 'now you have a white star on this op'

[signal geode]

I have uh.. exusiai alter and tragodia

[untold dawn]

So no other guard I should save up these tokens for instead?

[robust thistle]

idt theres a lot of guard with good enough pots to worry about

[livid crest]

Yeah, I only have saki and now logos and monster just a week ago or so

[signal geode]

Man i want logos🥺

[robust thistle]

I've been saving the 4 guard tokens since mlynar release and ended up using it on viviana

[signal geode]

I NEED a good ground unit

[untold dawn]

Eh wut why Vivi lol

[robust thistle]

sakiko is a good ground unit
logos isnt a ground unit

[signal geode]

Other than her ofc

[robust thistle]

why not

[robust thistle]

shes enough for now, just wait for future banners

[signal geode]

Oh ok

[untold dawn]

Why not indeed

[stray gust]

mutsumi

[signal geode]

My team so butt🥹

[opaque turret]

is there any budget 4* or 5* executor worth using?

[robust thistle]

gravel

[scenic yoke]

What are the odds of the senior operator Tag? I have been playing this game for about 7 months and I haven't seen it once, I got a top operator but never a senior operator so I am curious

[signal geode]

Someone gotta help me arknights

[livid crest]

Gravel is nice

[robust thistle]

the SO tag is *5, it gets a combined rate with any of the other *5 guarantee tags, so yes its "lower"

[untold dawn]

Is Ascalon worth m6? Already got her s2m3

[nimble kite]

TL;DR
Pots are just a quality of life
Just use on whatever you use very often in battles
Collab ops are appreciated since you're unlikely to find pots for them elsewhere.

[stray gust]

subjective, but I have her m9.

[livid crest]

If you want to have a burst of growth, playing any IS is a good way to get the required funds to raise your exceptional ops, if haven't already.

[stray gust]

maybe I should put it this way: you can m6/m9 her but generally you don't see much usage of s1 and s3 since s2 is too generally strong.

[signal geode]

Wuh is IS

[nimble kite]

Integrated Strategies (Roguelike Mode)
Opens after 3-8 clear.

[livid crest]

Integrated strategy, I think it's unlocked after chapter 3

[signal geode]

Ooo where do i

[livid crest]

From the terminal

[nimble kite]

Terminal and almost right button below.

[signal geode]

How do i play ts

[nimble kite]

Click "All themes" and choose these one:

• Phantom (IS2) - has almost no unique mechanics, so you can learn some basics there.
• Sarkaz (IS5) - easy to cheeze with one strat, allowing you to win every time, even on highest difficulty available.

[livid crest]

It has no sanity cost, just lots of replays if not accustomed to and have no good ops as dps of your own or friend, though Raidian there from IS-6 or any other operator from the related mode should be a good unit to play there

Is the coin toss from IS 6 only on that mode?

[nimble kite]

Yes

[marble viper]

uh guys i cant start

[livid crest]

Undeploy/retreat?

[marble viper]

you get minimum dp

[nimble kite]

I guess you caught a bug.

[livid crest]

Yeah, I only did a few of those face off nodes

[pale tapir]

does it actually require 2 ops? that's hilarious if a bug

[nimble kite]

It's indeed a bug, he stuck there.

[marble viper]

yes it does

i only did this face off cuz the bosky had more xp on battle buff, didnt know i was gonna get fucked

[hidden wolf]

Is this girl Lord fightwe

[livid crest]

On is 6, losing on that node doesn't result in immediate defeat, what about other is?

[nimble kite]

Come again?
Her subclass is Lord, yes.

[hidden wolf]

I mean like sakiko

[nimble kite]

Actually it does. The defeat prevention goes by having End Of Times relic. Once per run.

Other ISes may have this or its analog as well.

[livid crest]

Yeah, same guard lord as saki

[lunar apex]

Are you talking about the faceoff node ?

[nimble kite]

Normal stages. Bakaruu doesn't specify this.

Actually I'm fucking blind "at that node".

[lunar apex]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1011286448453992489.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[nimble kite]

Ummm, yes, it doesn't reduce BaseHP to begin with.
So Face-Offs cannot kill you.

But instead force a battle skip with no rewards.

[livid crest]

Nah

[rain forge]

she’s a 4* you’ll probs get her while pulling sash2

whats the stopping point with trag with Mod1 in terms of levels

Mod1? How is it 83?
If mod2 is 88, how is mod1 lower?

[tiny abyss]

Uh Mod1 doesnt have a breakpoint no? at least Mod2 or 3

[echo venture]

i may remember wrong

whats the correct answer

[split sphinx]

mod2 88 and mod3 82

[echo venture]

what about mod1

[proven kelp]

Trag needs either mod2 or mod3

Mod 2 is 88
Mod 3 is 82

EN that read

[nimble kite]

60, If you don't care about cat one procc on bosses.

[tiny abyss]

Well you shouldn't get mod if u dont care no?

[proven kelp]

I mean
At that point might as well keep it at lvl 1

[coarse notch]

if you're short on resources you can honestly just ignore the breakpoint, its pretty inconsequential all things considered, just come back later with more resources if you'd like to make general content even easier

[fathom nest]

Realistically it's just to speed up the killing process slightly, it really does nothing for the stall aspect

[proven kelp]

If you're not going to reach breakpoint

There honestly barely a reason to even give him e2

His dmg is going to be ass either way

Stalling doesn't really change

[fiery canopy]

trag can 1 cat non-elites/bosses at e1?

[proven kelp]

Good question

[fathom nest]

The breakpoint is for bosses

[tiny abyss]

Normals and elites have the same 1000 elem health

[fiery canopy]

huh wierd i rember elites having more than normal

[stray gust]

it is more of being consistantly able to disable elite/boss regular attack outside of tragodia attack range, but if the elite/boss is inside tragodia attack range and has no way to hit him, it doesn't matter.

elite should have 2000 elemental point no?

[split sphinx]

what's the breakpoint to proc it in 2 cats? or doesn't matter how invested he is

[marble viper]

W mod x or y

[proven kelp]

Unless I'm doing my math wrong

A e1, sl7 max trag can deal 1041 NI
So yes, he should be able to

[coarse notch]

with trust 100% trag should be able to deal 1000 NI at e1 lvl49 iirc

[fathom nest]

The paralysis is probably the least important part of his kit

[nimble kite]

Depends on how do you use her:

• Killing a lot of trash, so she can cooldown skill faster - X, Lv3.
• Otherwise - Y, Lv3. For better damage output.

[proven kelp]

E1 max
Technically lvl49 according to Cat

[stray gust]

so the breakpoint is only for anti boss, whereas if you don't care about it tragodia can stay at e1

[proven kelp]

But odd number is cringe so do max!

[marble viper]

[coarse notch]

pretty much, trag is so good that e2ing him just makes sense though
the thing is that content in which he really differentiates himself always have atk modifiers so the breakpoint kinda just explodes

[slate ridge]

mod1 needs an external source e.g. E2 Podenco or Matsukiri which can be the cause of confusion

[tiny abyss]

Dont he need mod3 l60 with Matsukiri buff

[slate ridge]

mod1
if P5 E1 Matsu

[tiny abyss]

Oh alr

[coarse notch]

matsukiri op!

[proven kelp]

Does Skalter make him not need Mod at all

[fiery canopy]

uh sorry i cant see it, u need to add some arrows

[fiery canopy]

e1 lvl 1 right ?

[proven kelp]

Max
You're not doing it at lvl 1 without external

Minimum is e1 lvl49 according to Cat

[fiery canopy]

this is basically e2 !

[slate ridge]

is it

[coarse notch]

thats what i found ya

[candid horizon]

Anybody know when the ascalon skin will be back ?

[urban sleet]

Hermitz skin planner in pins

[fiery canopy]

[proven kelp]

I did my math on max cuz i rather not do multiple math to find minimum

[candid horizon]

Thx ! Pins in wich channel ?

[nimble kite]

This one

[coarse notch]

i just did wacky estimation with the level scaling of the atkstat, might be off by like one level

but hey rainchan got the same number so surely we arent both wrong right

yo e2 lvl 80 mutsumi is dedication

[coarse notch]

should be fine i think, you can check atk stat in the squad menu and the buffs need enemies killed to buff atk
i uh, dont have enough exceptional appointment invitations to grab tragodia rn tho
tried to cook with archetto only to discover that she in fact does no damage outside of IS

[marble viper]

[coarse notch]

if you have actual dps ops then nah

[tribal root]

hmm i believe i have a decent one

https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/trusty-lime-yak-398y

i just didnt know should i just save the resouces or not

[coarse notch]

her IS usage outside of weird playstyles is just e1 bind bot with atkspd
save your resources

[tribal root]

currently im trying to s1m3 gladiia and then saria module. After that i think im done and will save resources

[copper axle]

What's Haruka's best skill?

[coarse notch]

gladiia masteries are a bit suspicious but you do you

[copper axle]

What's wrong with 3

[rough sierra]

S3 is so situational

[tribal root]

yeah xD

[formal shadow]

e0 suzu 👁️ 👀

[coarse notch]

nothing, but you use haruka for afk healing

[tribal root]

owh, i forgot abt her, yeah i probably need to upgrade her

[coarse notch]

s3 is good survival but typically there are better survival tools out there including "just kill them"

[stray gust]

a very similar problem as skadi alter: for general content you would rather have a perm buff/heal bot than an actual skill that you might not sure when to use it.

[robust thistle]

dont bother

[wind storm]

How are we supposed to get the rewards of RM? Just sit there and click every ~48 hrs?

I did the levels and got the missions with the reward exp

[nimble kite]

That's the option, yeah.

[wind storm]

Whats the other one 🥹

[nimble kite]

Replay the RM stages over and over again.

[light latch]

Did u max the points bar on every stage

Then yeah, waiting game

[paper swan]

Is farming chips a good use of Sanity?

[nimble kite]

Yeap. You hardly find it elsewhere.

It's RA shop, IS Monthlies and Deeps, event shop has only E1 chip for welfare ops and that's it.

[paper swan]

Deeps?

[subtle dagger]

Pull or save?

[pearl zinc]

Save

[paper swan]

Depends on your roster

I'd say save

[nimble kite]

Deep Investigations, Deep Explorations or sum...

[pearl zinc]

Limited banner soon... And you might spooked brainded operator

[subtle dagger]

I’ve barely touched the event

Is it just resources/furniture and an event skin for puzzle?

[nimble kite]

Yes.

[subtle dagger]

Bruh

[nimble kite]

T5 mats are gud.

[wooden fossil]

where do i get this mysterious token
do i need to just progress while enduring 25 second of stun on my operators

[nimble kite]

Map is called "Crab's Den Isle"
North-east.

There's a chest in the center on hidden passage.

Destroy it and this spooky ghost will stop haunting you.

[wooden fossil]

so i need to endure more till i get to that stage?
aight then

[nimble kite]

You can rush by entering and immediately leaving the stage.

Should be no necessary battles coming your way.

[wooden fossil]

fair
though i'd like to see what the map on the way offers first

[formal verge]

Why does the game randomly place my buildings and operators on the field

[nimble kite]

Cat Phase 2 does that.

[formal verge]

I see

[nimble kite]

Thank him for that.

[formal verge]

500 bonus attack from forests

[wraith shell]

How does this work from SSS do i need to deploy 10 def/specialist like there are 10 of them present at the field? Do I stack 10 def/specialist buffs? Or I just need to clear the whole security mission with 10 def/specialist on my roster?

[paper swan]

Just have them in your team, must reach 10, doesn't matter the ratio

[wraith shell]

Aight

[orchid plover]

I was reffering to these packs

i find it way better that the previous weekly pack

[wooden fossil]

where is the spot i need to exterminate

[raven ermine]

Check #reclamation-algorithm-hub pins

[cursive maple]

is mantra good in any high end content?

[wooden fossil]

cheers

[urban sleet]

Fib told me she was used in a 3 op relicless clear of an emergency stage along with trag and nasti well my question to him was about nasti not mantra so didnt pursue that line of inquiry

[raven ermine]

Pretty sure that outside niche clears like low ops relicless, mantra has no real place currently

[pale tapir]

these are all free things you get by playing the game not really worth it tbh

[vital kelp]

basically no

[karmic urchin]

is rosmontis banned from rebuilding mandate ?

[orchid plover]

Even if i want to catch up the train

[pearl zinc]

If you don't have the operator, you need to use support

[pale tapir]

if you want to raise ops faster build your base right

[nimble kite]

I recruited her through gacha (I own her).

[orchid plover]

I don't have enough operator to run the 2-5-2 setting lmao

[pale tapir]

you do

[raven ermine]

Just use operators without corresponding base skills if you need to fill factories

[orchid plover]

I didn't know

[pale tapir]

your base will never be perfect right away

just do the best you can and upgrade as you go

[marble viper]

my base will never be perfect ever (243 goated)

[nimble kite]

They have basic 5%.
Even if they don't have right skill for specific building.
This 5% even works when exhausted, summaries with skill effect.

[raven ermine]

It's pretty hard to have enough fac workers early on
If you don't know about it, look up PeterYR stagger guide, it'll let you use less ops for the same result

[pearl zinc]

No worries... Most oldies here have bricked max right side

[marble viper]

well oldies are old, im a youngin

[karmic urchin]

where is that

[nimble kite]

Exceptional Appointment.
When 200 dupes.

[terse hedge]

Can some one direct me to the right place maybe I used to use twitter to bind my account and noticed they no longer do that am I out of luck getting my account back?

[pale tapir]

don’t believe they support twitter login for AK anymore
I’d contact customer support and give yostar the info they need to help you
Like if you know your account name and number, UID, etc

[ancient current]

better yet check #tech-support and its pins

[terse hedge]

it has been a few years since i last played

[nimble kite]

Come with me if you want to live.
(#tech-support)

[terse hedge]

Thanks ill look there

[hushed cove]

What's a realistic expectation for completing the roster in this game? I'm curious because, besides the story, I'm more interested in collecting than the strategy and meta (excluding limited/collabs)

[ancient current]

do you have Luo Xiaohei?

[raven ermine]

A few years of playing should be enough
I've been playing with somewhat big breaks in between since release and missing like 10 or so ops

[light latch]

Pure f2p, or?

[hushed cove]

Not pure, more like dolphin?

[proven kelp]

Realistically you're not going to collect everybody because a big chunk of old 6* are Kernel, and good luck on that

[light latch]

If ur buying even just the monthly pass then the ability to collect all non-limiteds is pretty high imo

[raven ermine]

Kernel will be a pain yeah
your best bet is buying the ones you can't recruit through the cert shop

[untold sundial]

is there anything I could do with my current team? im in chapter 4 currently

[silver smelt]

e2 sash e2 surtr unlocks their main skills

[raven ermine]

You can remove courier for tequila

[hushed cove]

All the operators goes to the shop? And the kernel how It works? Im so lost lol

Because if they go to the store, the idea is to have one of each and prioritize the ones I like and the efficient ones.

[light latch]

After about half a year ish any non limited op becomes eligible for the yellow cert shop

[ancient current]

also gotta keep in mind that if you don't have luo xiaohei or all the collab units you're very unlikely to collect everyone at all

[light latch]

They specified excluding collab or limiteds

[hushed cove]

I dont count the limited cause they are... Limited... XD

[ancient current]

they did? i think the exam i just passed stripped away my reading capabilities

[hushed cove]

Yeah i cant fight what i already lost 🙁

[light latch]

Chances are u can probably include the non-collab limiteds too

[paper swan]

So collabs can only be obtained in RM if you have them yea?

[light latch]

If you’re asking about RM then yes

[paper swan]

Explains why Saki chan is there

[raven ermine]

Basically there's 2 pools in the game
Standard, and kernel (and limited but it's part of the standard during specific events)
Kernel is basically old ops that rotated from standard, accessible only through kernel banner
Kernel banner is bad because you don't gain yellow certs from dupes/first recruitment, which is a big way to gain more pulls back/buy in shop

Operators will all hit the shop, with the exception of limited/collabs

[humble nova]

which annihilation gets cleared the fastest?

[silver smelt]

they all take the same ish

[paper swan]

They are all 400 enemies

[wraith shell]

Ethan S2M3 mod3?

[ancient current]

yes

[paper swan]

Omg, 4100OK enemies

[humble nova]

[sweet warren]

No

[slate ridge]

some anni has 415 enemies

[hushed cove]

I'm asking out of curiosity because now that I've just started and following the pin guide, I've selected characters that I don't like much more than others, but I think it's good I prioritize starting with a strategy to move quickly and then be able to decide comfortably, but I wonder how long it will take to have those operators, for example; hence the questions and my doubts.

[silver smelt]

can you kill her before she turns balls into star rings?

[hushed cove]

Sorry for my english btw im spanish

[urban sleet]

Think she would convert 1 ball, not that it helps her she's pretty frail

[robust thistle]

on second form she immediately turns all balls into star rings so

doesnt matter anyways

[silver smelt]

Does she also immediately detonate them? I feel like there's no star rings when I kill her and then my entire team just dies

[urban sleet]

Damn I never nkticed too busy killing

[raven ermine]

Depend on your luck/pull plan
For now prioritize good banners, the banner priority is in the spreadsheet in pins
When you'll have a good roster/roster you like, you can start focusing on collection if that's your thing

[robust thistle]

she detonates them when phase 2 dies

[urban sleet]

Is this ex/s stage

[light latch]

The first ring spawns 10s after krosten appears

[copper oracle]

damn reading time

[nimble kite]

Second form doesn't have Silence Immune, and this blast skill can be silenced (regardless by icon here), so you can silence her and kill to prevent oneshot explosion.

[silver smelt]

mmm i do love having no melee ops

[proven kelp]

As i already said
Unrealistic for the average

Unless you're willing to fuck up your account by pulling on Kernel

Kernel is a separate pool of operators dedicated for old units to separate the big pool of 6*
It's bad to pull on this because you're wasting your pulls on older Units

No matter how long you play, the average player shouldn't pull on Kernel
If you're only going to play for collection, then ofc it's realistic

[robust thistle]

I mean the stage doesnt have tile restriction

[slate ridge]

pretty sure oneshot bypasses detonation

[silver smelt]

yeah it just makes your defenders and guards practically undeployable

[robust thistle]

huh?

[slate ridge]

tho most oneshots want Eben

[light latch]

?

[robust thistle]

theres like clear spots where you can just deploy melee ops

pretty sure sakiko can spawnkill kristen

[slate ridge]

oh nvm its still 1 tick of detonate rip

[rain fjord]

Where is eg-6 breh

[copper oracle]

hidden stages in bot command or smthing

[pale tapir]

hidden condition to unlock

[ancient current]

forgot kristen's def/res, would horn s2 work better like with harold?

[silver smelt]

what no it just triples your dp cost so it just makes sense to use them much less

[copper oracle]

sure but she has like 35% dr per active ball

[robust thistle]

its not like you need 3 of them

[copper oracle]

her actual def res is piss low

[rain fjord]

How to unlock :v

[copper oracle]

even warf exu sniper kills kristen (with no balls)

[pale tapir]

#bot-spam

[silver smelt]

im not actually worried about killing kristen btw
im literally killing her too fast leaving no time to deal with balls

just have to pace myself

[copper oracle]

? why r u deploying 12 ops to kill kirsten

if u use 6 ops to kill kirsten then u still have 6 more left to deal with the rest of the stage after she explodes the map

[silver smelt]

no its literally lemuen

[copper oracle]

ok whats the issue then if lemuen kills and she dies u have 11 other ops left to do other shit

[silver smelt]

why are you people making weird assumptions about how im playing off a single statement?
do i have to use guards or something?

[copper oracle]

no i dont understand whats wrong with a board wipe u literally have 12 slots so unless ur using a lot of slots u shouldnt be running out of ops

[silver smelt]

nobody is running out of ops?
again why are you assuming shit

[ancient current]

move to #strategy to continue this
unless you love slowmode

[undone wren]

These choices matter? X means it doesnt?

[proven kelp]

Just win smh
It's not that hard

[copper oracle]

ur statement implies that ur having issue with the board wipe

[silver smelt]

yes its not i was asking a simple boss mechanic question ICANT

[copper oracle]

[orchid plover]

what do we have to do next ? just login ?

[silver smelt]

yes due to literally killing her too fast
and not having prepped enough dp to..deploy ops to deal with the balls
like this isnt hard to infer from what i said

[ancient current]

again, move to #strategy

[proven kelp]

Skill issue

[ancient current]

fae if you don't have anything pertinent to say, might as well not

[robust thistle]

thats the first time I've seen someone use the word pertinent

[ancient current]

cas, quit the reaction spamming

[silver smelt]

cant do anything

[robust thistle]

ines or assclown for RM guaranteed recruit, already got wis logos lemuen

[copper oracle]

ask alone

[pale tapir]

ascalon fs

[raven ermine]

Methink ascalon

[silver smelt]

ascalon

[robust thistle]

ok assclown it is

[urban sleet]

[raven ermine]

Unless you want invis reveal for the tiger boss

[pale tapir]

idk what ines gonna do except invis reveal the stupid cat

[thorny edge]

[proven kelp]

I'd rather draft Marcille

[robust thistle]

ok but marcille is cursed

[copper oracle]

marcille 💀

[silver smelt]

[proven kelp]

Marcille with 500 aspd is broken

Nuh uh marcille draft is fun

[thorny edge]

[robust thistle]

s2 permastun, wisadel powercreep?

[raven ermine]

Hi laq

[proven kelp]

What is Ascalon gonna do
Melee buffs are assed

[copper oracle]

use hoe s2 fr

[frigid plover]

so did anyone need a CW guide

[robust thistle]

wait can you get collab ops from random recruit

[pale tapir]

wipe out crowd of trash mobs

[copper oracle]

only if u own them

[proven kelp]

Aslong as you own then

[silver smelt]

if you own them ye

[robust thistle]

oh TIL

[thorny edge]

omg mayu

[copper oracle]

marcille skipper cant roll marcille 🚬

[proven kelp]

Which Marcille will already do

[robust thistle]

ok I'll get marci instead

river buff stinky anyways

[silver smelt]

the question was ines or ascalon how did we go to marcille

[pale tapir]

idk bruh I don’t have her the question was between ines and ascalon

[proven kelp]

Because it's a question on who to draft

Which i pick none of the above

[silver smelt]

meh past lemuen hoshi wisadel nothing much matters

[proven kelp]

Sounds like a you issue if you don't have her smh

[raven ermine]

Bricked account, ggs

[bold elm]

Is there any good cert shop ops? Should I just buy pulls

[pale tapir]

I don’t like dunmeshi anyway

[proven kelp]

What does Hoshi2 do even RM

[nimble kite]

Logos, Mlynar, Ines.

[raven ermine]

If you can't buy pulls next month and don't need it right now, just wait

[pale tapir]

mlynar, ines, and soon others like logos ray etc

[bold elm]

No way what

[robust thistle]

wdym no way

[nimble kite]

What? You asked good Shoperators, I delivered.

[sly shell]

What does any of this mean. It says I can only do one and I don't want to make the wrong choice

[raven ermine]

There's a few more, but no point in listing all of those, just wait for shop rotation and keep your certs

[silver smelt]

yeah now wait like 3 millenia for them to come round again

[nimble kite]

Or you don't agreed with that?

[robust thistle]

doesnt matter

[sly shell]

Ok bet

[bold elm]

I'm just surprised

[robust thistle]

?

because one of those ops is a known fraud or something?

[raven ermine]

Logos

[wanton meadow]

After i finish the immediate need for 1-7 do you reckon i should chip away at the mats that I'm missing or wait for event?

[robust thistle]

chips and skill books you cant farm on events

[vital kelp]

u can silence her death board wipe, try that 👍

[raven ermine]

Wait for events
Farming story isn't great for sanity efficiency
And there's other things you can prefarm/or progress story/sides

[slate ridge]

when you have no Outpost in starting hand for some reason so slower aspd stacking

[nimble kite]

E1 he may buy tho.

[robust thistle]

if the event has a specialist welfare

[silver smelt]

i literally cleared the stage and was just asking a simple question how did it turn to this

[somber silo]

Im kinda new to the game, what 5★ should i pick?

[raven ermine]

Check pins

[vital kelp]

happens

[somber silo]

Okiii

[wanton meadow]

I still got some IS monthlies to go thru i think

I can see why the wait for event is tilting

[raven ermine]

Not so much, after a few events you should have a decent depot

Especially if you're a monthly user

[split ingot]

is it worth to keep chasing mon3tr and possibly an accidental pot6 logos on orienteering so i can juice up my sakiko (relatively new account)

[wanton meadow]

Yes I'm on monthly card

[split ingot]

i am in such fat denial that this is bad for my account LMAO

[robust thistle]

what relation does mon3tr have to do with sakiko again

[raven ermine]

Smth smth aspd slop

[split ingot]

more atk spd for s3

[hybrid bluff]

Would my operators gain trust if I don’t deploy then on field but sit in waiting zone?

[robust thistle]

crimge

[ancient current]

yes, trust gains are only based on sanity spent at a 1:1 ratio for all operators in the squad indiscriminately

[hybrid bluff]

Ah good

[pale tapir]

I wouldn’t call aspd buffing sakichan slop, as it can be useful, but wasting pulls for a slim chance at obtaining a unit to buff a unit that didn’t need buffing is certainly a poor use of resources

[eager hull]

is the current kernel worth using my 10x kernel pull on

[raven ermine]

Using a full slot for a single unit will always be slop
Especially in gen content

[toxic oyster]

I finished an Anni but I'm still ingame during reset, will I get the rewards the next time it comes out?

[pale tapir]

well certainly you’re not using monmon exclusively for sakichan now are you

[raven ermine]

wait for a banner with 2 featured from nightingale/ceobe/weedy/ifrit/suzuran

ange too

[robust thistle]

is fia in kernel yet

[split ingot]

that's what my gut was telling me, hope's been snuffed now

[raven ermine]

idt so, not yet

[proven kelp]

It's a goated combo, trust

[split ingot]

i am thinking whether i should readjust to try for tragodia + mantra (plus maybe mlynar and ulpianus), despite this rather large resource setback

[midnight nest]

Is viviana good enough to build?

[robust thistle]

readjust for SAlter and wang, why are you aiming for a mid op

[raven ermine]

No, barely decent with mod3 s3m3, definitely not worth

[robust thistle]

tragodia will rerun eventually, you can pull him there

[raven ermine]

Worth for pinus in base if you have the ops tho

[pseudo flume]

Mayu but what about my Pinus Sylvaris Base Team

[raven ermine]

Too snail astrel

[pseudo flume]

Drats lag

[eager hull]

that... feels like it may be a long time

[safe tundra]

snailstrelgpt

[split ingot]

true... the last thing my account really needs rn is more guards

plus i have the giga logos to feed the elemental damage niche for now

[safe tundra]

i thought ceobe is currently up in k*rnel banner rn

[wanton meadow]

Cursed to pull all the vivianas but no flametail

[raven ermine]

We have a banner called kernel locating, usually after limited banners, you can chose 2 ops from a selection of kernel ops, usually the pool is split 50/50ish
Wait for that one

[eager hull]

its Schwarz and Eyja

[safe tundra]

dead week moving too fast

[eager hull]

ohh ok ok thanks

[midnight nest]

Dang, burn seems kinda fun though

[raven ermine]

Erm i will get lynched if i speak of it
But burn slop is fun

Except ifrit, that one can rot in hell

[ancient current]

viviana is a fine unit but needs soooo much investment to work properly

[sterile kayak]

no point continuing the event when max lvl no?

[wanton meadow]

Delta module that doesn't function

[safe tundra]

do funny shit or whatever

[wanton meadow]

Thorns delta syndrome

[raven ermine]

Scammed me out of 12 modblocks, i want them back 😔

[wanton meadow]

Imagine being desperate for burn, time to build bobbing

[raven ermine]

Just run 4 suis for cycle instead

[wanton meadow]

Speaking of suis, yu s3 is combo scam right?

[raven ermine]

Well it's just burn slop engine for gen content

[acoustic kindle]

Pull now for Logos or wait for Lemuen Banner / Silver Alt Banner ?

[raven ermine]

Outside of it, it has no usage

[eager hull]

For the current Orienteering Banner, does pity carry over after it ends?

[proven kelp]

[wanton meadow]

So basically it's just the bruteforce option?

[proven kelp]

It's not even a good brute force lol

[pale tapir]

no it’s the meme/comfort option

[wanton meadow]

Hold up how can it be a comfort option if it's not even that good

[pale tapir]

because general content is easy so it doesn’t need to be good

[eager hull]

ok thanks
I just wasn't 100% sure

[raven ermine]

It's not comfort/bruteforce
It's a "synergistic" team, and it's bad
Hence the burn slop

Viviana will shred EX bosses
And fold to anything meaningful in difficult content

[proven kelp]

Inferior synergy team
Just use The Band

[pale tapir]

what about pop 2-3 skills and watch the map get auto wiped isn’t comfortable tho

[raven ermine]

Can't run vivi in the band 🥹

[coarse notch]

its comfort in that its braindead to pilot for results that clear general content just fine
its not good because it has no actual adaptability and subpar performance to other teams

[safe tundra]

good synergy is supposed to be buffing an already good comp, not enabling it

[white kraken]

Any use for lappland1 in 2026? Still good for the silence?

[pseudo flume]

Instructions unclear, using AH

[wanton meadow]

I hate how people use the word synergy, they don't understand that synergy is supposed to be 2 way enabling instead of a restriction

[eager hull]

wait i just realized the last one would have been ok then
rip

[proven kelp]

[winter mulch]

if you are concerned about having fun you should not ask for advice in this channel, every operator is abysmal dogshit unless they are the best representative of their class currently available in the game

[coarse notch]

still useful when you need the silence, unfortunately silence is a bit of an endangered status effect so you basically use her never

[formal shadow]

swap to a different game and burn will be good it's that simple

[pseudo flume]

We use Lapp2 🤫

[proven kelp]

Is Lightning Glow even better than Bloodtith

[eager totem]

yo wtf is this

[raven ermine]

iirc it was ceobe and a shitter
You want both featured to be good

[eager totem]

oh yeah its just cosmetics

[coarse notch]

i venture to say no, the former is still potential manning it while the latter is literally unkillable and braindead easy to pilot

[formal shadow]

linging glow is fraud status and dev discarded it for green prompt

[coarse notch]

we're about to get discarded by shaw

[eager hull]

how many pulls should i save for SA2 banner to be safe

[coarse notch]

150+ is generally a safe spot

[white kraken]

Why is she picked for the free noob ticket over Specter or like Proviso for base then?

[eager totem]

old maps will never be on rotation again right for annihilation

[eager hull]

ok
how many more pulls can i get by then

[formal shadow]

you can't get proviso from free noob ticket
specter? some folks think she's the better pick to e2 and from ticket already

[coarse notch]

proviso isnt on that ticket
current help hivemind states to pick specter over her
the argument for picking up lapp is because silence is more relevant earlygame where it counters more annoying mechanics

the argument against picking up lapp is that silence falls off a cliff after ch6 and SN

[coarse notch]

depends on how many stages you clear
assuming 1.5 months before sash2, which can always change, you'll get 43 pulls from dailies/weeklies/monthlies alone

[boreal steeple]

And mizuki real

[white kraken]

Lmao has help went from Specter is worthless to specter is the best choice?

[eager hull]

rip ok im not making it, i'm at 60 pulls rn
i mean i guess ill just play story for , im only at chapter 5 rn

[coarse notch]

no one thought specter was worthless, its always been a debate
initially consensus was on specter for that ticket, then it went to lappland, now we're back to specter

[proven kelp]

I just pulled for that team 🥹

[coarse notch]

i got the limited because she was pretty but i have no one else for her so shes just homeless

[eager hull]

wait what monthly sources of pull currency even is there

[white kraken]

I guess you can't go wrong with either, especially since you won't be using either after a couple months. Both see a similar amount of niche value in Base too so they're about the same for long term value.

[coarse notch]

cert shop + the 1 from login

[eager hull]

oh.

any advice for how to farm pull currency
or just do story and thats it

[slender temple]

Just progress story/ side story if you want the fastest route

[raven ermine]

Do your dailies/weeklies diligently
Farm your annihilations, raise the cap to 1.8k
Buy from green cert shop
That's it really
Progress story/sides if you want more

[wanton meadow]

Idk about similar base value, unless you run some funky high tp count base fac workers are kinda just more valuable by default due to needing more sheer numbers

[raven ermine]

Worth noting that annihilations first clears (including simulations) give way more pull currency per sanity spent than story stages

[proven kelp]

So true

[eager hull]

ok
im 25 short of the 1.8k
keep letting the last 2 enemies leak

[knotty wave]

do your recruitments regularly as well. Youll eventually max pot all your 4* and youll start having a slow but consistent source of gcerts that you can then use to buy 38 pulls if you can afford to buy them out in a month

[white kraken]

Specter is part of a very good FAC team but it dies in 7.5hours so rarely fits in anyone's rotation.
LappTex+ Jaye E0 for TP is very strong for how low investment it is.

[raven ermine]

Erm
AH needs a lot of ops, many are kernel, and very bad too

[rocky maple]

any chance winning is2 ed3 with this squad?

[slender temple]

How does Logos proc his necrosis again? It's not fixed dmg like Trag right

[raven ermine]

% of his damage, check his module

[rocky maple]

i only set diff 1 btw

[raven ermine]

ED3 is the bear ?

[wanton meadow]

Tbf AH also doesn't need much build investment, it's just e2 gladiia and everyone else doesn't need to be built

[knotty wave]

% of his final dmg dealt to the enemy fills up the necro bar and once its full the debuff pops

[rocky maple]

nah not the big sad lock

[slender temple]

I see, so that's why it's like, 6× slower than Trag

[graceful vigil]

easily

[rocky maple]

lemuen s2 or s3?

[graceful vigil]

just keep lapp alive for the summons

[nimble kite]

Mastermind Puppet.

[raven ermine]

You need to have skadi/andreana/specter
Which are kernel and bad, so not worth going for unless it happens "organically"
Every AH you're missing is a big hit to the overall productivity of the team

[wanton meadow]

Also 7.5 hours is assuming 4 AH. 3 AH is a lot more manageable and it's still a 90% team

[raven ermine]

3 AH is shit, not worth running in an optimized base at all

[wanton meadow]

You're not running texlapp on optimized base either tho

[white kraken]

We're talking about Base Meta and AH is meta and would be run if you maximized base. again, that's why it's niche. Also, none of the ops besides Gladiia need any investment.

[raven ermine]

I know ? I'm running AH
But specter base value is zero until you have everything, and offrota gladiia is a tedious thing most players won't even go for

[boreal steeple]

Worth noting that heart of surging flames give more orundum per sanity spent

[white kraken]

Yeah the problem is the 7.5hr time and for the high end bases, 40% isn't that amazing anymore, especially since there's no room for error

[raven ermine]

It is amazing tho ? Gladiia is bis in basically every rotation ever

You need to rest your ops at some point

[wanton meadow]

The way i see it both texlapp and 3 AH (not 4 AH, it's 3 AH) are stopgap teams that you use to fill holes in your base rotation, except you don't need as many stopgaps in tp cos there are significantly fewer tps

[boreal steeple]

Sadlock, bear is ed2

[raven ermine]

Ya i figured, should be easy then
Bear would've been a disaster

[slate ridge]

E2 60 S2L7 Skadi2 with E2 30 S2M3 Trag is alr 1999 nervous so

[white kraken]

You'd probably run Tex Lapp Jaye E0 for the first few months. Especially for the people who complete the base missions and end up with Max RR.

The original point was that Lapp and Specter were both niche for base bc one is good and usable in the early game and one is great but hard to use and get ops for.

[wanton meadow]

I agree with that, i just argued that the base value isn't equal cos you simply need more fac workers and every single extra fac team you have is a lot more valuable than extra tp teams

[rocky maple]

easier than the playwright thing

[white kraken]

160% is great but again the problem for most people is that you have to have a 7.5hr or less shift, and for the Base people who care enough, 40 x 4 isn't that much better than like the baseline 35% slot on avg.

[raven ermine]

For the base people who care enough, they would run it if it was even a single % of improvement

Your offrota is gladiia, that's it, why would you run 35% shitters instead

[neon siren]

If and when mantra comes out is she meta and recommended to pull?

[wanton meadow]

So it's 3 fac staggering 4 teams and 2 fac that goes into AH off rot right?

[knotty wave]

you can spawncamp playwright with mon3tr s3

[wanton meadow]

I assume the 2 fac would be your extended pinus combo

[neon siren]

??

[raven ermine]

You can put AH pretty much anywhere so it depends what you're running as offrota, they're easy to fit
Basically, bryo/vermeil exp/pinus as main rota
And AH/whatever you can run as offrota
Depend on if you're running exodia or not too

Check this if you want an optimized rotation example https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SixW_LMuizJ-fOlRuytX623dP0-bVWfxtaM8WwYpYRQ/edit?gid=485162268#gid=485162268

[rocky maple]

i tried the wisadel sakiko spawn camp at the top left but she didnt die on time

[neon siren]

[white kraken]

Bc if you miss the 7.5hr window, it instantly goes to 0? I am one of those Base people. It is not really run because of that. Some people run it when they go to bed but it is very much not used as a no-brainer off-rotation, especially since CC slots are at a premium. The 35% EXP shitters are probably used more often even amongst people with full AH.

[tepid thistle]

What anhilations currently in rotation are the easiest to clear?

[raven ermine]

Just don't miss, skill issue ?

Might as well say that 24h rotas are more meta because they're easier to run atp, tf is this argument

[dense fulcrum]

Y'all should I prioritize mastery 3 on sakiko or logos?

[neon siren]

Thx.

[white kraken]

Just telling you the lay of the land so theres less misinfo spread around

[wanton meadow]

I mean tbf we're not gonna talk about ease of use if we're talking optimized anything unless it's inhuman and unreasonable

Like cursed proviso is unreasonable so that argument applies there even if it's optimal, but a 1 time 7.5hr rot isn't anything insane

[eager hull]

oh sht
are the monthly practice Annihilation stuff resettable?
like, is that something i should complete every month?

[balmy panther]

anything that isn't the current rotation only has to be done once over the lifetime

[eager hull]

so this stuff i don't need to stress about?

[urban sleet]

"Only has to be done once over the lifetime"

[eager hull]

ok ok

[weak cypress]

hey is there a way to see what material is needed for a skill mastery ? like i want to check logos S3M3 but i'm currentyl M2ing him so i cannot see

[urban sleet]

And smh finish chernobog and increaee weekly cap

[raven ermine]

Use krooster planner, or aceship

[eager hull]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Logos#Skill_upgrades

[urban sleet]

Wiki/ptilopsis app also works, thete's plenty of tools

[weak cypress]

thanks

[rough osprey]

Which tags?

[nimble kite]

All trash. Go solo Top.

[raven ermine]

Would go for top op alone
You can go for bagpipe but her value is very low nowadays

[rough osprey]

Sadge

Already got BP

[raven ermine]

Certs is a decent option too imo

[rough osprey]

Oh sweet, actually got someone new from it, Phantom.

[nimble kite]

K.

[rough osprey]

He any good?

[stray gust]

the only few good options are probably healing for nightingale/saria, caster for ceobe/ifrit/subjectively mostima, specialist for weedy/subjectively phantom, and maybe guard for SA/surtr.

[raven ermine]

Not really
An offmeta IS draft if anything

[nimble kite]

Minimal value compared to TexasAlter or YatoAlter.

But fine as you lack any of those.

[raven ermine]

Good for soccer in icebreakers tho

[spare jetty]

male only frdp

[rough osprey]

Isn't he a good fast redeploy option tho?

[stray gust]

mediocre to decent level, but texas/yato/tragodia's cat exists

[split sphinx]

Guard sucks

[rough osprey]

All I got are Red hood Waifuu

[nimble kite]

TexasAlter and YatoAlter does more map control and damage than him overall.

[frigid stream]

bro got powercrept by his cat

[haughty atlas]

is there a way to farm all rewards fast in this new event? i hate playing this ugh

[raven ermine]

Guard pool is atrociously bad

[rough osprey]

Damn

[split sphinx]

Get high efficiency on the maps and idle

[pine plover]

Guard pool is so diluted it's atrocious

[hollow musk]

Should I pull for ||mantra|| as a newbie?

[pine plover]

problem: the banner after her

[winter mulch]

his clone is nice for boss mechanics, he is fine at e1

[split sphinx]

Just not good enough to pull

[slate ridge]

if youre good you can get 800 bp per 3 mins

[fallow hinge]

The only 6* defender I have is Saria w/ module and S1M3, is it still worth it to S2M3 and module Hoshiguma or just save resources for Silverash and Pramanix alter?

[split sphinx]

"I hate playing this ugh"

[tiny abyss]

When attacking a full hp enemy Puzzle gains 3 sp right

[raven ermine]

You likely won't need hoshi's mod/masteries
Unless you have a lot of extra resources, i wouldn't bother
You can always unlock it later if you end up needing it

[hexed adder]

Hoshi fine with modX1 and SL7, mod only if u use her that often

[sullen loom]

Who should I upgrade?

[stray gust]

2 sp

[coarse tide]

Hi gays is there any news on mh collab?

[tiny abyss]

Plus the sp from attacking? Cuz his skills are offensive rec

[fallow hinge]

Okay I'll just hold onto it for now. I fear that I may be being too cheap with spending my resources as I have a lot of them right now.

[hexed adder]

Ye 3

[tiny abyss]

Oh alr, so s1 only needs 2 attack right when both hit full hp

[solar scroll]

When's the next lim banner going to be, and which ops should I aim for in general?

Can't see pins

[nimble kite]

See harder, banner prio

[solar scroll]

Sorry, but I'm reading this on a potato phone.

[nimble kite]

🔍 > Pinned tab.

[sly compass]

Why does this temperature bar not show full for RM? I've max'd my pass, and beaten every level, max'd every efficiency. I still have one co-op buff that isn't max'd, is that why?

[stray gust]

why the f did you e2 exusiai first?
anyways your next few best options are probably e1 mudrock (frontline), eyja (medic), goldenglow (arts dps), and specifically mountain/hoederer (frontline) at e2. I personally would say SA is subjective unless you e2 him.

[knotty wave]

Rumors has it if you upgrade to windows 13 you can add more circles and arrows per screenshot 😏

[nimble kite]

It's timer until end of the event, lol.

[sly compass]

ahhh derp. thank you

[spare jetty]

win11 is so slop

[raven ermine]

e2 sash > surtr > chen2
you can e1 gg and later on if you have nothing else to do e2 her

[fallow hinge]

you can also go to the bot-spam channel and type /cnbanner to look at the visual guide which imo is better for mobile phones.

[hexed adder]

3rd atk to proc

[royal swan]

Angelina can be fun to build for IS as well if ur interested in that, prob best IS module

[hardy bronze]

Is there any way to get LMD without grinding at supplies stage?

[real sphinx]

base and events, youre not supposed to grind it

[hardy bronze]

So, it will be worse if I grind at main theme?

[green anvil]

yes

[signal dragon]

how would you even farm lmd in story

[hexed adder]

Lmd drop

[hardy bronze]

Ugh
Need alas 10k LMD to E2ing Haruka

[signal dragon]

that's 12h of base

[green anvil]

just do is?

[pine plover]

get those from IS, RA, or SSS

[grand path]

is the new event worth to clear? they didnt give stone

[green anvil]

or do the current event it gives some mats

[hexed adder]

90k lmd

[pine plover]

it's so ass i dont have enough T1 oriron scrap

[signal dragon]

how do you have less iron than me

[pine plover]

higher form is used a lot for fucking T4 gel

and by that extension T5 crystalline

[signal dragon]

I've left so many masteries at M2 cause of this

[reef sparrow]

18 polymerization

[pine plover]

polymer prep isnt as bad, tho it uses T4 orirock to craft

[hexed adder]

And Oriron again indeed

[pine plover]

the cesspool which is oriron farm

[nocturne arrow]

between these 3 > vina, pepe, blaze
which can I replace for thorns (general content btw)

[reef sparrow]

uhhhh

[proven kelp]

Pepe

[neat acorn]

Do these spines of epoch spawn randomly

[pine plover]

Pepe'

[pine plover]

it has fixed location on fixed stages

[neat acorn]

I think I’ve been placing my operators in the

[gaunt iris]

hi ( returning player here) ive been trying to relearn what my operators do and which is best for what however even after a week of watching youtube and reasearching i maybe know 10% of my roster , https://www.krooster.com/u/saiko , could people ive me a rundown of which ones are my best operators and what their the best at ?

doesnt need to be in depth just like ( x operator is your best laneholder using x skill

[polar spade]

If I have Ascalon, should I still build Ethan?

[signal dragon]

you're new? I wouldn't bother with Ethan then

[gaunt iris]

depends if you use guides , one of the things i remember as my time as a new player was that ethan showed up in a ton of guides

otherwise not really

[neat acorn]

What are death matches

[echo venture]

your team looks decent enough. e2 proviso tho, strongest trading post worker

[ancient lintel]

Define death matches

[pale tapir]

imo if you play content where he's used sure
like in IS ethan is practically free hope-wise while ascalon will cost a lot
but if you're just clearing gen content eh
throughout all of gen content I have never needed ethan as an ascalon haver, and even then I have never needed ascalon

[neat acorn]

2 death match

[ancient lintel]

Ur probably talking about the inspirer or a face off node idk

[neat acorn]

I’m still trying on IS5

[gaunt iris]

ty

[gaunt iris]

btw outside of mountain do i have any laneholding operators (people i can put in a lane by themsleves and they can deal with it)?

[nimble kite]

You mean Face Off?

[neat acorn]

I think

[formal shadow]

blaze, thorns, the juggs somewhat qualify

[gaunt iris]

Ty ❤️ , also who are the Juggs

[formal shadow]

There's a lot of options

mudrock, penance

[waxen dove]

Whe are we getting chapter 16 bro im tired of being here without a good event

[nimble kite]

Choose 1/2 ops and 1/2 enemies you wanna fight.

Kill him to get reward.
Should you leak him - get nothing, lol, and skip a node.
This one doesn't kill you.

[nimble kite]

No info. Sleep.

[waxen dove]

fuck
anyhow any of yall have a suzuran i can use for cc

[neat acorn]

Sounds easy

[ancient lintel]

Cause it is lol

[gaunt iris]

i have one with no module and no m3 at e2 lvl 20 is that good enough?

[waxen dove]

No sorry i need m3 mod 3
but thanks

[gaunt iris]

np

[nimble kite]

Well, it's all dependent on enemy and op you chose to fight.

Note that rightmost one is much stronger, but gives much more rewards.

[formal shadow]

I didn't bother to mod suzurat

[neat acorn]

Can the burdenbeast tank hits

[coarse notch]

its not very tanky but it can

[gaunt iris]

hopefully not soon need to make it from chapter 9 to 15 before 16 comes out

[waxen dove]

is she m3?

[formal shadow]

S3m3, s2m1

[sterile kayak]

is ethan the only 4 star worth modding

[grand kernel]

can anyone let me borrow your fiammetta my ID is MyrtlsTableCloth#9059

[coarse notch]

gonna be in a couple of days most likely considering we're getting skin teasers already

[waxen dove]

i mean you don’t
you’ll still get chapter 16 open till the event is there so just clear it then
also ch16 is very soon

[formal shadow]

Yeah they'll open the stages if it's like ch15 for newbies

[waxen dove]

ahh
she’ll be fine ig
can i borrow?

[gaunt iris]

but then ill get spoiled on the story

[neat acorn]

What is the rolling ancestor collectible used for, it sounds like a debuff

[formal shadow]

Sure, Broom#3058 give me a sec to add her

[waxen dove]

yeah that’s one thing

[pale tapir]

skip story read later

[coarse notch]

straight debuff, pay 2 plans to make the final fight much harder

[coarse notch]

only 4 star that we can tell people to mod without context

[formal shadow]

She's up

[raven ermine]

You can always use a story reader to catch up

[waxen dove]

done

[neat acorn]

Should I refresh the chaos map

[coarse notch]

other 4 stars like gravel indigo deepcolor gummy have usecases where they need their module but its so contextual that telling a random person to mod deepcolor is not good advice

[waxen dove]

thx

[gaunt iris]

i read the story in game so i can take screenshots of the cool art

[coarse notch]

ideally you take no fights on f5
hopefully f4 as well

[gaunt iris]

have an intire album filled with screenshots from the story i use as my laptop roating wallpaper

[neat acorn]

I am on f3
