[ancient current]

crafting it by farming its subcomponents

[pseudo loom]

idk how much low is, but ethan is real real good for control. he is about 17 dp or smth

[shy quiver]

He doesn't block unfortunately. Should've said sorry

[ancient current]

it would again help to see your roster

[pseudo loom]

humus works then. reapers are great for mob clearing

[rapid oasis]

Is it worth to try my luck for mantra is i have 150 pulls?
You know, do a one or two multi

[neat acorn]

Does the IS5 boss have 3 stages

[winter crystal]

The rat (gravel )

[ancient current]

which one

[neat acorn]

Dude who teleports your ops

[winter crystal]

Ending1? Only 2

[neat acorn]

I swear he had 3 first time I beat it

[ancient current]

he has 2
3 stages if your mental toil was orange before entering battle

[shy quiver]

• more purple and below
  Finding that I often lack a third good and cheap blocking unit for various stages after I've already dropped Matsukiri and Scavenger

[neat acorn]

Hey 30 min for 1 run

How do poeple get 15 min

[ancient current]

cuora is a fine raise if you lack blocking

[winter crystal]

I thought you failed your first time

[neat acorn]

I beat it after some deaths

I just beat d1

[pseudo loom]

for that, i suggest fang and/or beanstalk. beanstalk can actually tank and deal cheap damage too. i dont think 4star pioneers are worth investment

[winter crystal]

Congrats

Beanstalk can tank?

[pseudo loom]

crabs

[winter crystal]

Crabs die to dogs….

[patent harbor]

can i use the lungs profile banner without using that background image thing?

[light latch]

Dont think so? I am praying for the day the allow u to separate the two

[neat acorn]

Is it bad that in 3 months of playing I haven’t been doing annihilation operation

[winter crystal]

Yes….

[light latch]

bro

[patent harbor]

figured as much. oh well

[ivory terrace]

couple of pulls left on the table lol

[winter crystal]

Missing out on 3 months of weekly free oru was a choice

[kind igloo]

Is this a confirmed date for global player?

[neat acorn]

How much does that amount to

[ivory terrace]

if #game-news say nothing yet of the date, assume no

[winter crystal]

1800x4x3

[neat acorn]

That’s about 21000

[patent harbor]

say theres 4.5 weeks a month, that totals to 40 pulls

[shy quiver]

I think DP is often my issue for some more difficult stages. Do I have anybody worth putting resources into like any of my vanguards, for DP + cheap block?

[pseudo loom]

it should at least hold off for a while though ? pioneers cant damage them well

[ivory terrace]

also assuming u were alrdy at max cap on the weekly

[neat acorn]

I def couldn’t beat anni on my first month tho

[patent harbor]

very doable to clear within 2 weeks of playing with free units
my first banner was probably 2 months in if not more so i 100% only used the freebeies

[pseudo loom]

what stage are we talking about?

[ivory terrace]

prob ch7 dog rush

[shy quiver]

In this specific case 9-17
But I keep finding it a reoccurring problem for various stages

[neat acorn]

Started on the leizi banner

[winter crystal]

Bean stalk is used in IS starting runs bc she does a lot of stuff (not well) but covers a lot of different needs. For gen content there are other ops that do her job better and cover a single need. You need anti air? Kroos, you need dp gen? Fang or flags, you need a blocker? Cuora etc

[patent harbor]

did you get leizi or no? you can probably 3-4 op a lot of anni stages with leizi with relative ease

[ivory terrace]

9-17 isn't even that intensive imo at the start
at least in non-CM

[neat acorn]

Ye I rerolled till I got her

[patent harbor]

worst case just look up guides with low rarity units. i don't like doing that but its a suggestion

[neat acorn]

But I didn’t e2 her till last month ago

[pseudo loom]

i forgot chargers were a thing

[shy quiver]

I suppose I'll have to
Just struggling with that, if I deal with the two strong units at the top, I then lack below and the fireballs eat all. If I focus on the fireball guys, I get rolled by the two strong units from up top

[neat acorn]

What are chargers

[pseudo loom]

vg archetype. only gets dp on kill, but refund full dp on retreat

[native cargo]

Is cliffheart good unit

[pseudo loom]

good for holding for few seconds or killing some dogs early

[winter crystal]

Use rope if you need pull op

[native cargo]

Who got faster pulling cycle gladia or cliff

[neat acorn]

These d32 steel are pretty expensive to craft is there anywhere else I can get them

[native cargo]

Rope is better?

[winter crystal]

Gladiia is best puller but is 6 star so very expensive

[winter crystal]

Cheaper does the same pulling job since she’s a 4 star

[ivory terrace]

rope is cheaper
when all u would use out of them is pulling

cliffheat is "oh look a puller with true damage on s2"
not gonna win awards

[ivory terrace]

on s1? the same
except gladiia s1 can hold charges, which is a mixed bag

[ancient current]

literally cliffheart's only angle is is3 copium

[subtle dawn]

Is it better to farm the sub components or to farm the sub sub components that craft the sub components?

[ancient current]

i misread the question

[slate ridge]

Gladiia on S1 is slightly faster and less prone to puller bug but low chance you will care enough about that

[subtle dawn]

Ok ty

[winter crystal]

I think the real question is what does he need a pull op for?

[ancient current]

actually you want white horse kohl yeah? hang on

oh it needs rocks iirc

check /material in #bot-spam always to see what's best to farm

[pseudo loom]

IS investigation things, event shops can sell them, or just t4 mats for it

[native cargo]

Is tin man worth to build

[ancient current]

no

[winter crystal]

E1 if anything

[subtle dawn]

it doesn't show the best way to get it in bot spam that's why I'm asking here

[ancient current]

he's not even used anymore in his own IS

[ivory terrace]

farming stages usually aim for the t3 mat (t2 for rock) then craft up
getting t4 directly is more luck in of itself

[ancient current]

wdym best way to get it? it does show the best materials to farm
you always farm subcomponents and never the final material if it's t4 or higher. you however farm sub sub components for stuff like rocks where you always farm 1-7

[subtle dawn]

By t4 you mean the purple/elite materials right? Needed for 6 star e2

[ivory terrace]

yes the purple rarity. gold is t5

[pseudo loom]

not used like not recruited or in battle

[ancient current]

both

[pseudo loom]

not even for the weight?

[subtle dawn]

Mb it showed multiple ways so I just wanted to make sure

[slate ridge]

lamp strat wants you to be overloaded to get to 1 hp anyway

[ancient current]

he has competition
he sometimes is drafted if you've got excess tickets, but the world would be amazing if excess tickets of the class you want were a thing...
and anyways you don't even mind being overloaded

[plain hemlock]

he's draftable if you get a bunch of specialist tickets ig

[pseudo loom]

what specialists do ppl even take? i can only think of exu2

[ancient lotus]

if you dont wanna play lamp then tinman's value will increase

[subtle dawn]

Wait so does it take a few hundred sanity just to get 6 t4's needed to e2 a 6 star? I'm tryna e2 logos this better be worth it

[ancient current]

ethan gravel

for low hope options

i draft contrail but im schizo

[winter crystal]

I got 7 healer tickets in a row as my first tickets in IS6

[chilly mulch]

Beanstalk mastery s one or two?

[pseudo loom]

s3 raw power should be great enough even without module so probably

[ancient current]

s2 if you must but not necessary

[tropic cypress]

hello , may I ask did Narantuya have modules or not?

[ancient current]

she doesn't

it's a visual bug

[tropic cypress]

oh okay thanks

[ivory terrace]

not yet

[ancient current]

sash2 yeah?

or wait no mantra?

[ancient lotus]

its mantra

[ancient current]

mantra ya ty

[ancient lotus]

she gets it along with her new outfit

[ivory terrace]

i rmb sash2 event is hoshi2 mod

[winter crystal]

What about enchiladas?

[ancient lotus]

like some months away

[winter crystal]

Ty

[frosty flame]

I think I got a decent squad goin, I should put the next levels into kroos and saria methinks?

[ivory terrace]

aim to e2 logos and SA

[frosty flame]

I dont have access to his materials yet

[ivory terrace]

but lol that is a lot of lv1s

[frosty flame]

They are e1

Except specter

[ivory terrace]

fresh out of e1/e2 that is
some levels for all of em prob wouldn't hurt. early levels are cheap

[winter crystal]

Saria works just fine at E1, S1 is her main skill

[frosty flame]

But the stats tho

[winter crystal]

You can put about 20-40 lvls in them since they are lvl one and cost next to nothing

[frosty flame]

Alr

[winter crystal]

(That goes for all your lvl 1 ops you use)

[brazen gulch]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/The_First_To_Talk/Enemy firstly, is this frigging real? and secondly, "level 1" stats are used in ex stages, right?

[sullen whale]

Which Skill I M3 for Uika?

[winter crystal]

You can check what stats he has in game when you select the stage and look at the enemies in that stage. Also yes enemies can get harder

[slate ridge]

Not always
Sometimes they just use level 0 or 2 or 3

[light latch]

enemy lv's pretty arbitrary

a lot of events just directly slap stat modifiers onto the base enemy which don't show up on the enemy's wiki page

[ivory terrace]

generally, yes
lv1 stat (on a boss) is for EX

[slate ridge]

Level 0

[fathom gale]

what resource do you get the map data from?

[cinder stag]

What to get?

[ivory terrace]

it's pinned in this channel
the map.ark one

[brazen gulch]

probably suzuran gamba

[cinder stag]

alr have her

[ivory terrace]

then ifrit/mostima gamba
followed by yolo, ur tags kinda meh

[signal dragon]

take aoe then

[cinder stag]

ig i'll try for ifrit, its useful sometimes in kyo afk strats

[fathom gale]

aoe for ifrit/mostima, or gamba on full pool

[neat acorn]

What app even is this

[cinder stag]

wdym with the joy emoji @winter crystal

[winter crystal]

Bc he’s always using infrit lol

[ivory terrace]

is a website
map-ark pinned link

[cinder stag]

sometimes u can just replace ifrit for logos
unless it specifically needs the 5 range in straight line

[fathom gale]

i dont see it in pins? is it in another channel?

[cinder stag]

anyways, thanks guys!

[fathom gale]

oh on mobile it doesnt show the full message

[signal dragon]

tap and expand

[chilly mulch]

Does necrass summon eat up deployment limit?

[ivory terrace]

no

[chilly mulch]

So basically you have a stronger ling summon that doesnt eat up supply wow

[ivory terrace]

catch is, it only summon if mob die in her range
or u tap s1 lol

[winter crystal]

She wouldn’t be useable if the summons did

[winter crystal]

Summons that take deployment slots usually act like deployable and you’re able to control where they go, meanwhile bananas summons are kinda random (you can influence where they might spawn though)

[ivory terrace]

and also (usually) indefinite uptime
like phantom summon

[winter crystal]

Well bananas are indefinite and so is like kalsits. One costs deployments slots one doesn’t

[ivory terrace]

ye but like u said, u can't fully control how necrass summon mob

[winter crystal]

Gotta delete the big one sometimes to force it elsewhere

[ivory terrace]

difference is "token summons" like skalter one
doesn't eat slot cuz u can't keep it on the field forever

[winter crystal]

Yeah hate that one

[glossy schooner]

That and Shamare doll

[ivory terrace]

plenty under that category
pozy typewriter, ray capybara...

[glossy schooner]

That’s the only “Token” summon Unit I have I think so that’s the example I chose

Shamare I mean

[winter crystal]

Yeah but those summons that dont take up deployment slots and you control where they go don’t usually block they have other functions.

So it’s “do they block?” If yes -> “do you control where they go?”
yes= cost deployment slots
No= doesn’t cost deployment slots

“If they don’t block and are controllable” = no deployment slot

Which ones don’t block and aren’t controllable tho

[abstract mauve]

ebenholz s2 🗣️

[autumn fox]

Hi, sorry, can anyone tell me what this means?
So I managed to bind my old account to yostar via email like 5 minutes ago. It shows me this when I try to log in. Do I press "continue"? I'm worried it will bind the guest account to the email and wipe out my previous progress entirely

[winter crystal]

#tech-support go here

[autumn fox]

Thankyou

[pale tapir]

jessicat shield blocks and can be placed within a certain range and doesn't cost deployment slots
does controlling where they go mean it can be placed on any valid tile type on the map?

[winter crystal]

No like deepcolor summons you control where they go, while bananas you don’t they just spawn in her range

[hexed adder]

Anywhere on map, cause tactician there dont tell me about nasti

[glossy schooner]

https://www.krooster.com/u/cute-magenta-jackal-7802
don’t know who to upgrade next, will E2 proviso once I get some more red certs for chips, so don’t say Proviso, she’s already on the list

[light latch]

put a few lvls on your e2 units that you use for combat? the first few tens of lvls are pretty cost effective for stats
or get them to 60 for module later

[wind blade]

yeah get your e2 units to lvl 60 at least

[glossy schooner]

Got it, get E2… let’s say 40 for those with no module/not obtainable 60 if I can get it

[wind blade]

I think you're also missing a fair few other useful base skill ops, not just proviso

[haughty holly]

Definitely finish up that s3m3
Hoshi s3m3 is also good
Yes I gave other suggestion cuz others alrdy suggested e2 units

[glossy schooner]

Problem is I need more purple rocks, and I wanna get to chapter nine normally so it’ll have to wait, Hoshi makes sense to grab, helped with turning Patriot to paste with shamare

[glossy schooner]

Those are?

[haughty holly]

Suggest speedrunning to chapter 9 then

[glossy schooner]

That’s the plan, I am proud about beating Patriot though, Ive heard he can be a nightmare for some

[lyric lagoon]

mfw patriot solos

[haughty holly]

Also do know all events have unlimited purple rock for event currency
Next event skip furniture parts and tokens for more purple rocks

[haughty holly]

He is a nightmare back then before op units

[glossy schooner]

By purple rocks I mean Nucleic crystal sinters name just slipped my mind for a sec

[haughty holly]

Nowadays he kinda gets destroyed because 100000 stalling (tragodia) exist

[lyric lagoon]

like basically if you own any year 2+ operator he’s trivial

[wind blade]

check out the noob page on this google sheets, has a bunch of options for you
avoid investing in e2's for base for now, just go for the easy e1's first
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zYc2JU46X0XWmV7s1503bN4feRdOMa1eehrTQ2jGaiE/edit?gid=800801592#gid=800801592

[haughty holly]

And yeah hoshi alter is funny DPS while refusing to die because immortality on s3 second activation and passive 2 bars hp

[light latch]

they have all of those

[glossy schooner]

Didnt use supports but yeah, Hoshi shredded phase two and Sakiko got phase one thanks to Shamare doll

[light latch]

catapult e1 (for workshop) like the only beginner base op he hasn't raised i think

[haughty holly]

Ah
Wait did u check /material in #bot-spam yet

[flint onyx]

What is a fast way of farming trust for operators?

[raven ermine]

E1 your roberta

[lyric lagoon]

sakiko doesn’t even need shamare with her ignore

[haughty holly]

Check green cert store too for mats if u need in a hurry

[light latch]

oops I missed roberta

[pale tapir]

base assistant, activity room, include in squad when farming stages
forgot if training room also increases trust

[raven ermine]

Being in a facility increase trust, just slap them in a dorm too

[glossy schooner]

Was only using one Ave mujica unit which was Sakiko so I don’t think without shamare would have killed him as fast as my run did

[haughty holly]

Her res and def ignore scales on the notes she have on field, not members of ave

[glossy schooner]

Ah, right, eh, still, Shamare helped

[flint onyx]

I guess I will need to wait a few more days to get lvl 3 module for silver ash

[glossy schooner]

E1 Roberta? Got it

[haughty holly]

Frfr 🔥
If I recall I used tragodia wisadel exu2 and lemuen on him

[lyric lagoon]

I just zuo le’d him

[haughty holly]

Yes it's overkill but like I was speedrunning story

Only threat to this day is probs PTRS and Tallulah

[glossy schooner]

Jesus.
I just bursted phase one with Sakiko then Hoshi Manual cancel S3’d him to death

[haughty holly]

PTRS hard mode needs a team comp to deal with, until today it's quite tough

Tallulah hard mode is literally just wisadel logos s3 nightingale mod for more cages

Normal Tallulah/black snake stage is a heal check 🥀
Piss cancer stage

Anyways too much blogging, just work on the stuff we recommend fr

[glossy schooner]

Level my e2’s to (40 if no or can’t get module) 60, E1 Roberta for the base skill, Proviso as well, meanwhile rushing to chapter nine to get crystal sinters
Thx for the help ya’ll!

[flint onyx]

Also question. How often do operators in red cert shop change? Or they are permanently there and never rotate? Except Quarts and Ethan what other good operators are there right now or should I just save red cert for later(dualchip things and module fragments)?

[raven ermine]

They don't rotate
Save certs for modblocks and catalysts yeah

[knotty wave]

they dont rotate, new ops will just be introduced. Theyre permanently available there.

make sure to buy the 4 mod blocks there before they reset though. Its an important resource and theyre pretty scarce

[flint onyx]

And obviously potentials(both for certain operators and universal ones) don`t worth red sets, right?

[raven ermine]

If you have a big excess of certs (you won't) or if you have a certain breakpoint you need to reach (exu2 p3 for example), they can be

[lyric lagoon]

also could be worth it if you’re very desperate for 1 or 2 gold certs and time is running out for something, then you can buy a couple operator dupes

[wind blade]

I feel like spamming recruits is better for that

[pale tapir]

yea spending red certs for gold certs is desperation
should be like an absolute last resort
just plan better smh

[lyric lagoon]

if they’re in a desperate situation, doubt they have permits left

permits run out 24/7🥀

[wind blade]

fair, I tend to forget to do recruits so I got this big stash

[raven ermine]

Good account management and pull planning should avoid you being desperate in the first place

[tidal pond]

Is CC the most consistent way of getting 6* pots?

[raven ermine]

For tokens ? CC don't restock, so when you bought a class token set, it's not available anymore

[pale tapir]

pulling on the banner where the op u want pots for is rateup is more consistent

[royal barn]

Is SA coming next month? I'm broke 💔

[frank wing]

yes (at least he should be, its not confirmed)

[pale tapir]

if you haven't started saving better late than never

[lyric lagoon]

just hit both featureds in the free 24

[languid swallow]

please do not abbreviate silverash 🥹

[royal barn]

Need to pick up my shifts I guess

[pale tapir]

sash works fine

[lyric lagoon]

well most of us call him sash than sa

[severe crypt]

Sup teeth toucher

[neon siren]

How often is it possible to get enough certs for being able to buy all the pulls from the gold certs shop?
-# is it possible in 2 or 3 Months or sm without pulling on banners?

-# Kay

[pale tapir]

I'd be impressed if you could get 258 gold certs in a month without pulling

[neon siren]

I said 2 or 3 months tho...

[lyric lagoon]

bud gotta be hitting senior op and top ops like it’s candy

[glossy schooner]

If you have perfect luck and an infinite amount of recruits and skips Maaaaaaaaybe.

[raven ermine]

You expect 35-40 yellow certs per month from recruitment, so still no

[neon siren]

Ouch

[pale tapir]

type in larger font with higher contrast gramps can't read that

[wind blade]

Don’t forget event reruns for welfare dupes

[stoic needle]

Im on level 5 of IS6 and never realized this exists, how much do I need to max out?

[neon siren]

Hmm alr.

[raven ermine]

Next time i see small font i'm ignoring ts

[pale tapir]

it will help you, max it out as soon as u can

[neon siren]

Fuck that
-# I'm a new player, not so many reruns

[severe crypt]

Yeah it’s getting kinda excessive

[stoic needle]

But how much thingys do I need

[neon siren]

Kay

[pale tapir]

idk look it up maybe wiki has it
easier to just keep unlocking stuff in the tech tree as you play

[tidal pond]

Every 2-3 months is doable-ish if you consider events and pulling on good banners, but only from recruitment is pretty far fetched

[neon siren]

Hmm alr

[raven ermine]

If you pull a lot and have a lot of dupes, even monthly-ish is doable

[signal dragon]

just upgrade it and see how much you need after,also it caps when you max out

[neon siren]

Idt anyone pulls so much tho

Whale excluded

[dense fulcrum]

Is it possible to get 180 without pulling?

[raven ermine]

I bought yellow certs pulls 7 months in a row after lappalter event and i'm not spending
Well monthly card but that's it

[pale tapir]

since u didn't specify a time limit yeah 100% possible

[signal dragon]

yes with recruitment, if you meant in a month it's unlikely

[knotty wave]

ofc its possible, just slow

[dense fulcrum]

Thanks 👍🙏👍

[neon siren]

How?

[raven ermine]

lappalt in 300, necrass in 210, monster in 180
Just got majorly fucked on my banners pulls

[languid swallow]

the more you pull the more rebates you get 🤯

[neat acorn]

Was lappalr worth the 300

[neon siren]

I'm surprised you were able to save so much.

[lyric lagoon]

bro got robbed in daylight

[pale tapir]

300
oh, must've sparked
realization

[raven ermine]

obviously not, but i have almost every ops, i'm not going to skip

[knotty wave]

its easier than you think...also takes self discipline to not spend impulse pulls

[neat acorn]

Don’t have a gambling addiction

[pale tapir]

once you save enough it becomes painful to see the number go down

[languid swallow]

be addicted to hoarding and game becomes a cakewalk 🥱

[neon siren]

I don't have any certs, but I do have a bunch of pull saved up.
currently fighting the urge to pull on standard and orientation again 😭

[raven ermine]

My account is still recovering tho
I was at 750ish pulls, and now i hover around 350-400

[lyric lagoon]

steadily gets even more painful when you start touching the op stash

[neat acorn]

I only have around 150 pulls

[neon siren]

Im scared that's whats gonna happen to me after sa2 banner

[knotty wave]

when you realize how shit the banners are, your urge will die out

[neon siren]

Technically I dipped after logos (10 pulls), I went into it wanting to spend atleast 50, technically max 50, so now I feel like I should pull 40 more times

[raven ermine]

Why ? There will be other banners to spend your 40 pulls

[pale tapir]

the thing with pulling is that you should quit while you're ahead

[lyric lagoon]

do we need to send the helpline

[raven ermine]

Don't turn your wins into losses

[neon siren]

😭

[knotty wave]

and you got Logos very early. Best choice is to stop then and there.

[neon siren]

Yea alr good points.
Ig I'm just being a gambling addict

[neat acorn]

I just refreshed into a emergency ops

[tidal pond]

Is there a rule of thumb for how often orienteering ops come back?

[neon siren]

Depending on how ur playing ,it might be a good thing.
Relics are more common from emergency

[raven ermine]

Pray for it not to be elusive merc

Reroll into emer elu mercs
Explode

good thing

[neat acorn]

Nah I just died

[coarse notch]

they're lamp rushing
also refreshing into an emer on f4/f5 is a horrible thing unless you're turbo highrolling already

[neon siren]

Never mentioned it was that one

[coarse notch]

half the emer on f4/f5 are a death sentence for a normal run
unless your name is bait or something

[neon siren]

Yea,i hv my fair share of experience in IS5 lamp runs

[raven ermine]

It can be a run ender either way
It's not what you're rerolling for
And can eat your wish node that you really really needed

[neon siren]

⚰️

[neat acorn]

I could had won if there weren’t alters hitting

[tidal pond]

Idk why but emergency elusive merc seems easier than emergency chaos, chaos is much more of a comp check so oftentimes your run is just joever if you're not expecting it

[neon siren]

Are you using blue print squad?
you can refresh twice you know

[neat acorn]

I’m on d2

[neon siren]

And?
You can still refresh if u hv plans man

[coarse notch]

if they're on d2 they probably havent unlocked bp bro

[neat acorn]

Ye

[neon siren]

Oh shit, I read it as floor 2, my fucking bad

[tidal pond]

Elusive merc floor 2?

[coarse notch]

e careless magic huh, its very doable with wis

wis is immune to altars so long as shes camoed

[neon siren]

Is it that one map with 4 alters?

[tidal pond]

nvm, ak player reading comprehension moment

[coarse notch]

the emergency version has 6 but yes

but yea thats unfortunate

[neat acorn]

Covered the entire map expect 3 tiles

[neon siren]

Oh yea, the mobs just go in circles then enter the box. I remember this, there is a ranged tile where wis is out of range of alter next to the blue box

[neat acorn]

Atleast I got sakiko mod2 now

[neon siren]

😁

[neat acorn]

6 of these steel balls is crazy tho for hoshi s3m3

[coarse notch]

that doesnt exist in the emergency version

[neon siren]

Oh damn.
Guess i mixed it up or maybe didn't run into that emergency

[waxen otter]

who should i focus on upgrading (ulpipi and nymph r e2 )

[neat acorn]

Honestly maybe I could had won if I chosen haruka to heal the dmg from the alters

[coarse notch]

but yea you just need to make sure wis is permanently camoed, with hand of rumble she can clear with just basic attacks so you can even just refresh her s3 to replace her crystal

[tidal pond]

Does anyone have the link to all banner types? Either I'm slow or it's not pinned

[raven ermine]

Zuo > necrass > surtr

[neon siren]

Yea me deleting that now 😭

[neon siren]

I'm pretty sure Its in the pins
(Roadless Camelot thingy)

[winter crystal]

Put 20-40 levels in your lvl1 ops that you use like reedic

[raven ermine]

You can also mod1 ulpi
You will want modx3 on zuo, mod2 on surtr
If you end up using necrass a lot, mod is nice on her too, but wait a bit for that one
You'll work on masteries/mods when you're done e2ing those 3

[waxen otter]

tysm

[proven kelp]

Why bother with Zuo then you have Necrass?
Or even Ulpi for that matter

[winter crystal]

The biggest gate for mods is usually lmd so you might be able to do mods and masteries at the same time if you have plenty to spare

[neat acorn]

First time I didn’t get lamp on f1

[neon siren]

Reset

[coarse notch]

you can still get it on f2, otherwise reset

[waxen otter]

i dont like necrass cus she is mean to reed shes a factory slave as punishment

[proven kelp]

They should just kiss

[raven ermine]

Pretty sure such a limited roster would make use of them at some point
They lack damage quite a bit in that account

[covert knot]

Is losing on auto possible?

[outer hazel]

new banner worth pulling on?

[neon siren]

If ur run goes into error yea.

[neon siren]

🙂‍↔️ nope
-# assuming the executor banner is what ur talking abt

[waxen otter]

i want lemuen archetto and entelechia but im really unlucky. When i was doing the joint banner with entelechia i got everyone but her and got 2 quibai dupes

[covert knot]

So basically I win with skills, hopes and dreams on 3 stars no?

[wind mason]

what combo should i choose guys?

[wind blade]

well errors in auto can happen for all sorts of reasons

[waxen otter]

use akg calculator

[neon siren]

Just go ahead and try it out again and try to use less skill of ur operator or reduce the amt of input like moving the operators alot before placing them or sm.

[outer hazel]

archetto?

[proven kelp]

Honesty Zuo is not really gonna do much in this account

He's honestly, very mid on general content
Necrass is much much better as a laneholder then him, a max out Summon is stupidly tanky

For Bossing? Ulpi will just Annihilate them

Zuo just requires much more investment than them because he actually really wants module, unlike the other 2
And much more input than the other 2 does in a whim

[raven ermine]

TO medic for 50/50 ng

[neon siren]

Her IS mod claps

[waxen otter]

yeah because i love the rendering style in her art… My bf said shes also good in IS which im kinda terrible at

[hexed adder]

Full pot haruka nice

[covert knot]

That's the thing. I did move them a lot. The error happened sakiko didn't finish off the hitman on time before skill CD

[outer hazel]

idk who she is

[outer hazel]

where get?

[wind blade]

gamble

[coarse notch]

archetto is more difficult to pilot in IS and i really wouldnt recommend trying her as a crutch to carry you there

[waxen otter]

kernel banner and i think shes also available in recruitment

[neon siren]

Oh LOL
Then just go ahead and try it out again without auto or without support.
Should reset your old save and u can type to auto again

[outer hazel]

oh

[waxen otter]

😔

[neon siren]

I got her through recruitment

[turbid ocean]

I don’t think Cheeto is hard to play
She’s hard to get full value out of

[proven kelp]

Chetto for Saki!

[waxen otter]

ive been pretty lucky getting a lot of top op tags but i never get the cheeto

[covert knot]

Aight

[wind blade]

archetto is more of a fun to play in IS than actually good imo

[coarse notch]

if you're already struggling with IS while borrowing the most meta things i dont think chetto is gonna improve your outlook enough to warrant spending 180 certs

[neon siren]

Hmm? Is she rlly that hard to use?
She helps alot in my runs, and she basically has infinite range with OFFENSIVE recovery units.

Plus if u hav sakiko she basically just slams s3

[waxen otter]

i only borrow my friends perfumer, should I borrow someone else?

[coarse notch]

the actual chetto comp is but i suppose you can just slot her in randomly if your draft options are limited to begin with

[neon siren]

With relics her dmg isn't tooo bad either, although it does matter much cuz she normally focus on drones or more hits to generate more sp

[pale tapir]

borrowing perfumer is crazy work dawg
surely your friends have better ops for u to borrow

[neon siren]

Hmm

[wind blade]

borrowing ops with IS mods is a good way to try before you buy

[raven ermine]

Yeah i do agree
They'll end up raising zuo at some point, but maybe that's not an early priority for that account
Zuo tend to perform quite well on troublesome enemies, but comparing the investment they'd need to put in, using another operator should work just fine too
And yeah gen content has a tough time keeping zuo below 60%

I don't think the manual input should matter much, you use the tools at your disposal

[winter crystal]

You shouldn’t borrow a friends healer to begin with if you’re struggling in IS….

[waxen otter]

I use my ulpipi who use up most of my initial hope and then use the rest on perfumer I am stupid

[coarse notch]

yea maybe dont do that either

[wind blade]

ulpi starter is kinda crazy

[wind mason]

I set those tags in aceship but it didn't show any 6* op on those tags,did I do something wrong?https://aceship.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/akhr.html

[winter crystal]

Not any worse then the average don’t worry

[severe crypt]

What happened to Wis and exu starts

[neon siren]

Select the top operator tag aswell

[pale tapir]

aceship is outdated btw
and you have to select top op too

[ancient current]

use https://puppiizsunniiz.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/index.html, the link you sent is outdated

[wind mason]

oh ,lmao . I forgot 😭

[wind blade]

krooster also has a recruit calc (short for calculator)

[neon siren]

Lol

[covert knot]

You need top operator tag to make it appear lol

[raven ermine]

It's top medic anyway the other pools sucks

[covert knot]

Hmmm which one. Senior operator or senior operator?

[wintry steppe]

Top operator

[nova nest]

"Page translated"

[neon siren]

LMAO

[pale tapir]

switch to english
don't auto translate the CN text

[raven ermine]

Don't use auto translate
There's a language/server setting on the page

[wintry steppe]

We having reinstall as a new class now

[covert knot]

Ik but tis is funny

[nova nest]

Warlock

[waxen otter]

is that one better than the akg one or are they both up to date and fine

[wintry steppe]

[wind mason]

tha ks ,I finally got nightingale. I used that tags 4 times before and got shining each time lol

[neat acorn]

What does summon a window do

[wind blade]

If you’re talking is5 I think that spawns the white portal enemy which gives you a buff when you beat it

[nova nest]

How big of a jump is Sakiko Module 2 to Module 3?
The benefit seems good, but it upgrade cost seems comparable to E2, and I've got some units to E2 before that, so I was wondering if the difference is noticeable

[lyric lagoon]

if you have other operators you need to e2, then e2 them since saki mod2 is the biggest jump in her performance

eventually do mod3 her, but it’s not your biggest priority over making other operators usable

[worldly zealot]

is base non alter texas good

[rough sierra]

^ yep, its not a crazy jump, just a damage boost

[neon siren]

Nope

[worldly zealot]

ok ty

[wind blade]

niche starting dp but no

[worldly zealot]

also is the dead site tier list reliable

[neat acorn]

Do the crystals of Wis count as summons

[lyric lagoon]

🚮

[neon siren]

Nope
-# most teir lists are ass

[worldly zealot]

ok ty

is there any reliable tier list

[neat acorn]

Just go with the flow

[raven ermine]

use tomimi.dev for those

[worldly zealot]

ok

[rough sierra]

Do not ever use tier list

[neon siren]

Teir lists are ass.
Considering the amt of niches in the game you can't effectively rank an operator above an other.

[neat acorn]

Huh

[worldly zealot]

i guess that makes sense thank you

[raven ermine]

Tier lists can be decent when they're focused on a specific content
Even then, the lack of information,/context can mislead you

[neat acorn]

What are with those reactions

[lyric lagoon]

it’s not bad if you want “relevance” but tier lists overall just aren’t good due to how operators function differently, and it doesn’t account for niches and such

[nova nest]

I mean, you guys just told this exact person that Texas is unequivocally bad, how is that different from one letter ranking

[raven ermine]

Because she is
Now what about weedy

[neon siren]

There is a difference between useful and trash.

Plus most teirlists are about 6 stars anyways

[rough sierra]

People bring texas just to get that +2 dp headstart on her e2 talent

[severe crypt]

Texas is trash correct

[wind blade]

You have bad, and then you have bad*

[severe crypt]

Soooo the cybertruck and the cybertruck in winter

[neon siren]

[rough sierra]

[tiny abyss]

Higuys does Mystic caster count as multihit if charged

[rough sierra]

I dont think so

Cmiiw

[tidal pond]

Is 33% from orienteering the best odds I'll be able to get on a returning standard operator? I'm assuming 50% is only ever in debut banners

[raven ermine]

debut and reruns

[wind blade]

Best odds is waiting for shoperator

[severe crypt]

You could either wait for shoperator or buy selector

[lyric lagoon]

they do pretty sure

[urban sleet]

Pretty much everyone on the banner except thorns2(who will have a rerun soon) and mon3tr will be debuting in shop cert soon

[tiny abyss]

Isnt like the Duqrael chapter welfare a mystic

[neat acorn]

Does sakiko mod2 benefit her s2 or s3 more

[neon siren]

Her s3 benifits from her mod, it's the other way around i think

[tiny abyss]

All skills since all skill loses lord penalty

[rough sierra]

S3

[urban sleet]

You shouldn't be using her s2, regardless the mod benefits all skills, but s3 more

[lyric lagoon]

delphine?

[tiny abyss]

Yea

[neon siren]

Wait I read that wrong

It does, but use her s3

[tiny abyss]

And the chapter needs hitcount

[urban sleet]

Ch 12 has hitcount enemies?

[neat acorn]

No idk

[rough sierra]

[lyric lagoon]

duqrael is chapter 13

[tiny abyss]

The thing that destroys the spawner

[urban sleet]

Oh yeah ch 13 mb

[neon siren]

Oh those blood spawn things

[pearl zinc]

Those are just tanky... You can kill them if you have nuke button like wis

[neon siren]

Logos S1 is actually very useful there

[tiny abyss]

So Ig mystic charged is multihit

[rough sierra]

I guess it is(?)

[tiny abyss]

Yeah reading wiki and says so

Shouldnt matter in general since arts is % reduction

[rough sierra]

I see, thanks for sharing!

[karmic urchin]

when is chapter 16?

[urban sleet]

[lyric lagoon]

[modern pilot]

Hey could anyone help me as to why my logos feels weak? Like, I’m preferring using rockrock over him.

I heard logos is good but he really doesn’t feel that way. I have him at e1 50 skill level 6 and I’ve been using his skill 1.

[winter crystal]

Do you have him E2 do you have his masteries do you have his mod? Etc

[tiny abyss]

Second part

[raven ermine]

His main skill is s3 and a good portion of his damage comes from delta mod3

[neon siren]

Get him to e2 and unlock his module.
You also use his skill 3 most of the time.
Although personally I think all ops at e1 feel weaker than they r supposed to be

[winter crystal]

Yeah one of the ops that benefit’s greatly from Mod

[tacit anvil]

Where’s the best guide for building my base rotations for trading posts?

[light latch]

#r-i-i-c pin

[urban sleet]

Skill 1 at lvl 6 gives him 60% more atk, which is a meh buff
His s1 is good for afk by virtue of execution and not dmg

And what others said
Never judge ops at e0/e1

[urban sleet]

My successor

[tiny abyss]

-# En's strongest soldier

[winter crystal]

Oh yeah, but my excuses I’m driving lmfao I can’t read

[native cargo]

cliffheart angle no?

[frigid stream]

angle?

[raven ermine]

Don't text while driving, tf

[pearl zinc]

I prefer ptilopsis

[severe crypt]

[tiny abyss]

Isnt it Specter

[severe crypt]

That’s the second distracted driver in #help Tf

[urban sleet]

What do the pins say

[winter crystal]

Speech to text goes crazy

[raven ermine]

lappland/specter would be better for you, why do you want cliff ?

[tiny abyss]

True dmg s2

[pearl zinc]

Cliff is free from login iirc

[severe crypt]

Not anymore

[urban sleet]

They replaced it with that selector

[tiny abyss]

Well this voucher is where you can get free Cliff

[pearl zinc]

Ah i see..

[lyric lagoon]

asking for the worst option is crazy ngl

[keen hedge]

now i feel scammed

[native cargo]

i alr hve blaze i dont wnt another centurion and lapp is pretty mid i alr hve a decent dps

[winter crystal]

#help message quit trying to make her work

[frigid stream]

ptiloposis

[neon siren]

Did u speech to text this too?

[winter crystal]

Red light gaming

[neon siren]

[pale tapir]

lappy is not used for her damage
it's ok for a beginner 5* but like... nobody brings lappland when they need dps

[native cargo]

and im saving for chen 3 i feel like picking lappland is just a waste

[urban sleet]

Chen3 is 6 months away smh, you need to survive till then

[raven ermine]

If you like cliff, pick her, don't seek validation
Saying lapp is a waste but picking cliff is crazy

[proven kelp]

I mean, what will Cliff do for you?

[frigid stream]

aint no angle where cliff is better than lapp

[shadow bay]

pulling

[pale tapir]

put rope out of a job 💀

[frigid stream]

rope never had a job in the first place shes a homeless bum

[urban sleet]

She will pull on banner and get her siblings in free 10 pull

[pearl zinc]

Nah we can't judge people if cliff is his waifu

[winter crystal]

Pulling on banners and using ops that pull isn’t the same thing

[pale tapir]

no rope slander allowed she's the best 4* purple haired bunny hookmaster in the game
anyway lappy actually does something somewhat unique unlike cliff

[raven ermine]

Lapp does damage
Cliff does nothing

[scenic yoke]

Tin man useful for anything?

[pearl zinc]

For is5

[proven kelp]

Useful being kept in the basement, rotting

[frigid stream]

rusting

[scenic yoke]

Well he already looks rotting Soo I see

[pearl zinc]

Top pick IS5.... Outside that somewhat usable if you don't have anything better

[scenic yoke]

Im honestly just running blue print run so I don't think I should need him there

[raven ermine]

No, somewhat usable in IS5 but rarely drafted and complete dog water outside of it

[proven kelp]

Can't you just borrow him too

[tiny abyss]

isn't alchemist specialist

[scenic yoke]

I mean I never saw someone using raidian outside of is6 sooo /j

[pearl zinc]

Well.. right... People just speed running is5 anyway...

[urban sleet]

Wasnt raidian used in 2 ops 620 ccb4 thats outside of is6

[tiny abyss]

Isnt it 3op

[pale tapir]

yeah more than 2 I think
it was trag raidian and someone else
let me look up

[boreal steeple]

Raidian is pretty strong tho

[tiny abyss]

Yato

[gaunt iris]

what does radian do anyways i dont understand her kit at all

[boreal steeple]

It's trag + raidian core
Vg is just makes a but easier

[proven kelp]

She spawn fish

[raven ermine]

Even without speedrunning reward track, tin man is a very overshadowed draft
Smth smth spec ticket overcrowded

[tiny abyss]

Hey maybe you get a spec ticket and only has 1 hope left

[urban sleet]

How what part of her kit are you struggling with

[boreal steeple]

Fish 3 times
S3 chains attacks and very strong arts ST and slow

[raven ermine]

cough cough ethan

[tiny abyss]

And already has Ethan promoted

[raven ermine]

cough cough promotion

[gaunt iris]

oh so shes supposed to be a damage dealer ?

[winter crystal]

Only reason we recommended newbies to do IS6, then we had a lot of frustrated and confused newbies after cc bc they kept trying to max radian in IS6 after cc was gone 🥀

[pearl zinc]

Yeah her summons did that, also she's free to max... So...

[urban sleet]

S1 lets her summons tank
S2 lanehold/everybody line up and kill everything
S3 is ranged UFO's with better atk modifier and have a hivemind

[tiny abyss]

Yato was used to block right blue box one time Iirc

[urban sleet]

Newbies and max raidian in such a short time frame

[pale tapir]

ah ok so 2op can clear alone? the videos I saw were of those two + other vg
is it just tight timing that the vanguards offset?

[boreal steeple]

S3 also debuffs and very strong, s2 fish almost 1.5kx3(only one) phys, and s1 fishes pretty tanky but problem no heals ofc

[gaunt iris]

see i though she was supposed to be a support so when looking at the skills i was trying to find how she supports and was utterly confused when all i saw was atk buffs or def buffs to itslef though i was missing some synergy btween her skills and talent or something

[tiny abyss]

Against one dog and one lightsaber dude, so Trag could proc NI in time

[winter crystal]

If I remember correctly, they didn’t have to max radium just needed her at a certain level. Just no one told them to stop after CC ended.

[tiny abyss]

She needs s3m3 so it activates in time for the first dog Iirc so might as well

[boreal steeple]

It was 2op in #salt-mines , 3rd op is used just to stall the leak. It's possible to do only 2op and tight timing

[gaunt iris]

free... nah shes " you need skill to max " im still stuck in guided tour so shes stuck at elite 1 skill level 1

[pale tapir]

yep, and there were other clears that you could do with just 3*/4* and trag borrow
can't remember if 620 tho

[winter crystal]

Yeah I can’t remember anymore

[pale tapir]

all I remember was malding IS6 and giving up and doing wis logos ines clear

[scenic yoke]

What defender would be a good fit in my team?

[pale tapir]

the ones u already have enjoy

[winter crystal]

I looked at one video of 820 clear with triple flag and exu2 S3 redeploy for the flag and my eyes glossed over and never tried it

[winter crystal]

Don’t need defenders if they die first I would replace gummie with ulipi if needed

[boreal steeple]

Flag redeploy is revolutional play

[scenic yoke]

Hm that's kinda true as well, I would hope I at least had Ines tho for now I will build cantabile. Because vigil is trash

Maybe I even swap gummy with mon3tr

[winter crystal]

You ideally want to use monster instead of Haruka but since you already investing in Haruka no need to invest in monster right away

[boreal steeple]

If it works it works

[pale tapir]

I mean bro's account is at a place where they can just run any combination of their raised ops and win gen content

[scenic yoke]

For cc nothing works I'm to stupid for that shit

[boreal steeple]

I mean there's still no info on next ccb, soooooo

[scenic yoke]

Alright back to is5 ty all

[boreal steeple]

Also i think ch16 should be this week they sneakpeeked snegurochka in #game-news message

[tiny abyss]

Erm

[waxen dove]

that bear is dying a violent death on my account bro
anyhow back to topic

[abstract mauve]

report back to us how that goes

[shadow bay]

chapter events dont have farmable stages???

i dont recall anymore whats the norm during ch events...

also cnfarm dont have the data so... would like to assume as also dead week but just to confirm yeh

[raven ermine]

iirc it should be the same than vignette pretty much
So story stages/supply have currency drop
If it's like ch15, there's no sanity drop from stages anymore, and it should be in the infinite part of the event shop

[neat acorn]

Is there a point I should stop doing IS5 and move onto IS6

[winter crystal]

Whenever you want but since you’re struggling at low diff IS5 I would suggest keep running IS5 until you’ve played enough IS to know what you’re doing

[shadow bay]

normally peeps stop playing is when they are done with battle pass thingy

but others would like to explore further like... going higher diff, discovering and defeating every ending... yada yada

[neat acorn]

How long does that take

[pale tapir]

depends on how good you are
if you can consistently speedrun IS5 then it'll be faster

[raven ermine]

Depend how good you are at it
Roster can be a bottleneck too, especially for higher diffs

[neat acorn]

I guess I’ll try another IS after getting sa2

[deft crow]

it will still take weeks for bp, unless you do that whole day

[neat acorn]

I really want that m3 ticket too

[winter crystal]

nahhh IS6 is ragebait

[boreal steeple]

I find it funny

[winter crystal]

Nah you’re rage bait IS6 is fun

[oak cloud]

Can I get some real quick help from like anybody at all?

[pale tapir]

is6 is fun when you've learned all that it can throw at you
until then it'll give you the most BS annoying mechanics on an otherwise easy stage
just ask the question

[winter crystal]

Bro gotta ask your question first 🥀

[boreal steeple]

Thats the point of learning. Same goes to other ISes

[pale tapir]

yeah but IS6 in particular is ragebait with the hitcount mechanics, talismans, etc.
at least in IS3 when u get boned u just get boned
IS6 makes it your fault

[winter crystal]

So your argument is a game mode is only fun when you understand how it works

[pastel jungle]

Bought the E2 pack? Which one?

Talismans arent that annoying before d15

Should I use or save?

Ulpi e2 is kinda nice

[winter crystal]

Provi E2 also naturally E2 your Shamar since she’s already E1 wait is training invitation the lvl 80 ticket? Or promotion ticket?

[raven ermine]

Don't raise so many random ops to e1, it's a huge waste of resources
E2 proviso, indigo and purestream
E1 your base slaves

[gaunt iris]

back when the game came out i played this game blind only looking uo guides every so often didnt interact with the commuity at all , back then you could clear all content at e1 so i ended up e1 ing every one i could

[raven ermine]

Well at least you know now
Work on your 6*, you have zero masteries

[gaunt iris]

thanks, ive been doing just that , just becuase i was playing the game blind and back then i was kid that had no clue what i was doing i kinda grinded zero events just did them the stages for prime , so my account is reallly recourse starved cant really afford to m3 characters

[winter crystal]

The lvl 2 mod x and y on saria has me very concerned

[raven ermine]

We all did dumb mistakes at some point, you'll be just fine

[abstract mauve]

some of us just happen to regret it. i dont tho 🫡

[gaunt iris]

ive managed to m3 sutr , ray and fiametta though myrtle 2

now im waiting for a event i can get recourses from to drop

[raven ermine]

The myrtle m6 sure is a choice, i didn't see that

[gaunt iris]

not gonna lie i didnt even know i did that

i blame playing this game at late at night along with a bottle of vodka

[raven ermine]

You can play IS for a bit of mats, it'll help
There's also 2 instant mastery tickets for 6*, one from IS5, and one from IS6

[gaunt iris]

is is hard though , i get wopped in guided tour

[raven ermine]

It's a learning curve, you lose, you learn, you get better

[signal dragon]

you'll get used to it, it's trial and error while you learn maps. check #is-station pins btw

[raven ermine]

Hi suraj

[gaunt iris]

should i start from is1 or do the current one

[pale tapir]

IS1 is not available anymore

[wanton meadow]

The earliest IS we can play is IS2 btw

[gaunt iris]

do they get harder or is it random

[signal dragon]

hiii

[raven ermine]

The first one is IS2, start with IS5, the furnace sarkaz one

[gaunt iris]

oh i assumed that was is1 , why is is1 no longer available

[wanton meadow]

They have different gimmicks and themes, not related to difficulty

[raven ermine]

They're all different, they're not ranked by difficulty

[pale tapir]

because it sucked as a perma gamemode

i just miss the skin reward tbh

what was the skin

[old valley]

guys i have like 30 pulls so is it recommended to grind and pull for silverash alter banner or should i just save for the Chen 3 and wang

[native cargo]

gravel still relevant today? shes worth e2?

[gaunt iris]

what limited operator pool will chen 3 be part of ?

[raven ermine]

Relevant yes
Worth e2 is more for already established accounts but yes

[pale tapir]

gravel is very relevant today as the best low cost frd bait

[severe crypt]

Ch3n is not limited

[shadow bay]

gravel will be, and always be a good bait when u need it

e2 is a consideration only if u have nothing to raise and u see urself using her frequently

[gaunt iris]

oh i assumed she was cause she was an alter wait are alter operators no longer limited banner only

[raven ermine]

Nope, alters can be standard ops, there are a lot of examples

[pale tapir]

lava alter is a welfare
krooster too
and soon astgenne alt

[raven ermine]

The limited is wang

[pastel jungle]

should i save the upgrade for a different unit or use it on him? I have pot 5 executor alter

[severe crypt]

Even assuming 6 star alters, non-limited versions existed since reedalter

[gaunt iris]

i lokwy thought arknights just went limited banner crazy when i was away , back in the day alters only came out during limited banners skadi alter chen alter

[boreal steeple]

Its e2 6☆ ticket, so ehy not use it on an operator that you'll use

[gaunt iris]

well nice to know ill be able to pull some alter from normal banners

[gaunt iris]

well i meant outside of wellfare operators those can be anything

[pale tapir]

I just listed those to demonstrate that alter operators are not limited exclusive and are literally handed out for free sometimes

[nocturne arrow]

what skill for pepe and what module?

[raven ermine]

RA module lv3
S3 for most cases, s2 for ressource collection

[nocturne arrow]

would this apply to general content or do i use the other mod

[raven ermine]

No point in using another module, RA mod is cheap af and free stats

[nocturne arrow]

Ok thanks

[abstract mauve]

the other mod would need you to have 3 enemies in the AOE's range to be useful and that generally doesnt happen

[proven kelp]

Just don't be poor

[gaunt iris]

btw why puresteam? her kit doesnt look anything special

[abstract mauve]

is6 and somewhat is5 usage cuz 0 hope cost. for is6 she's yan and kinda nice for ed3

[raven ermine]

She's a very good medic, and useful in IS, quite reliant on module for performance too
Mostly, 4* needing e2 are not many

[gaunt iris]

thank you

[glass panther]

Which

[signal dragon]

level a factory then your powerplant

[gaunt iris]

also if you think thats weird just found out my chen has skill 2 m1 and skill 3 m1 what was i doing 6 years ago XD

[raven ermine]

[uneven kernel]

Looking to build a non-ST caster. What's the recommendation between Passanger/Leizi/Pudding?

[native cargo]

whts betetr against phy enemy for gravel s1 or s2

[abstract mauve]

do you have other options?

[proven kelp]

I mean, if you HAVE to choose between the 3, then you choose the 6* lol

You really rather build a different caster

[paper swan]

Bonus point: She's a Yan operator

Very useful in IS6

[humble nova]

Does ray shoot the enemy nearest to her or nearest to blue box?

[undone portal]

blue box, like most ranged units

[signal dragon]

she'll shoot whoever is in capybara range if it's deployed

[undone portal]

ranged units always prioritize closest to blue box (along the enemys path, not by strict distance) unless specified otherwise. like suraj says, you can use sandbeast to change rays priority

[native cargo]

whts 4 star is the best for IS6

[royal swan]

E1 max is fine, e2 is only really worth it if ir doing is5 ed5 or similar niche content

[undone portal]

ethan, purestream, windscoot, gummy

[royal swan]

Purestream, humus, windscoot, ethan

[wraith shell]

What ch is E2 amiya required?

[coarse notch]

jt8-3 and 14-21

[boreal steeple]

Is it possible to kill eblana before she ignites the seeds on phase 2?

[coarse notch]

you can clear the rest of the chapter

[boreal steeple]

I'm doing annihilation

[coarse notch]

no

[undone portal]

no, she does mapwide arson before phase2 becomes vulnerable

[coarse notch]

that was for cloud lol mb

[lyric lagoon]

banana and reed burn injury someday

[coarse notch]

reed build burn on allies to detonate it for healing and atk buff

[undone portal]

save that for reed3 surely

[abstract mauve]

would be funnier if it just deals the burn fallout on your allies with no positives

[raven ermine]

Reedic already good in burn slop, make it happen HG

[wraith shell]

So I cant access ch 15 without E2 amiya?

[undone portal]

just give reedalt the same thing as viviana mod delta and im happy

[coarse notch]

you can
you can access ch 15 after clearing ch3

[undone portal]

youre allowed to skip forward to ch9/15 once you finish ch3

[abstract mauve]

wa edited :susge:

[wraith shell]

Oh aight I thought E2ing her is mandatory or something

[silver smelt]

any news on a global pc client

[abstract mauve]

you get from it. like a decent amount but that's it

[undone portal]

mandatory if you wanna read the full story

[coarse notch]

radiosilence

[silver smelt]

thank you yostar

[abstract mauve]

isnt he called radiostatic?

[chrome tiger]

“Global”
Hah, you wish

[coarse notch]

yea, this is his evil twin

[silver smelt]

Translation is hard
Yostar is a small company
Must be patient

[undone portal]

small indie company

[light latch]

Yostar is a music and toy company dabbling in video games, give them slack

[pale tapir]

u mean hypergryph

[silver smelt]

yostar is a game dev company

[graceful shadow]

Should I prioritize Monster over Eyjaberry?

[silver smelt]

sure

unless you prefer afk healing

[native cargo]

what happens if u kill this thing

[pale tapir]

u unlock ed2
it gives you the carved inkstick remnant
also u don't have to kill it
just 50% hp
it will reappear in every battle

[silver smelt]

you get ed2 relic

[rough sierra]

How do you efficiently kill that big leg though?

[silver smelt]

just hit it really hard
no specific mechanics to dealing damage to it

just make sure it lands where you want it to. It prioritizes landing on highest concentration of allied units within a 3x3 space

[coarse notch]

exu2 it

[rough sierra]

Of course its exu2

[silver smelt]

not exactly
exu2 lets you survive it easily but she doesnt do anything special in terms of doing damage to the boss

[rough sierra]

I see, I meant like, which op would deal with that damn leg the fastest

[silver smelt]

whoever does the most dmg
shitroll runs use swirealt

[rough sierra]

But thanks for the tips

[coarse notch]

pick your single target dps of choice and wack it, like cas said theres no secret lmao

[silver smelt]

dont use wisadel

[rough sierra]

Was expecting there to be some kind of hidden mechanics or gimmicks

[silver smelt]

the mechanic and gimmick is figuring out how to not die

[rough sierra]

Fair

[eager oak]

i use this link to clear IS6, hope this help
https://is-central.github.io/is6-sui/is6-progression/#ending-1-strategy

[formal shadow]

don't die

[rough sierra]

Thank you❤️

[honest plinth]

leizi alt needs a mod?

[pliant bison]

Best option here?

[silver smelt]

Mod2 minimum

[shadow bay]

i would yolo TO

[raven ermine]

Top op tag alone
Your pool is kinda shit

[silver smelt]

if you already have better dps just yolo

[shadow bay]

unless u just want guranteed chen or thorns....

we dont judge others taste okay

[native cargo]

can haruka bubble summon

[fiery canopy]

❌

[proven kelp]

Wrong
I will judge

[abstract mauve]

ye she can

[fiery canopy]

fae have u watched cpk

[proven kelp]

I don't really watch movies unfortunately
I prefer to read

[fiery canopy]

it's peak trust !

[bright lake]

anyword for when ch16 dropping?

[proven kelp]

Should be soon

[bright lake]

about how many days in advance you reckon..?

[proven kelp]

We don't really know the date

But probably after the current event

[bright lake]

kk thnx

actually.. is there a site i can see all operators invovled in a story chapter, for lore-nicheknights runs?

[proven kelp]

I'm not really sure

[bright lake]

dammet mr maafula

[proven kelp]

Probably try to watch the chapter in advance using YouTube then just make a team around who's in it

[bright lake]

brothren that vid gonna take so dam long

mr muufala

[proven kelp]

Can't really do much about it

I'm not aware of any sources that list operators involved in the chapter

[bright lake]

mkay all g

[forest ocean]

is ray good?

My main sniper right now on my squad is only kroos alter

[bright lake]

wait i forget... do main story adverse difficulty clears, save the autodeploy?

[minor sonnet]

Guys was wandering when the ep 16/mantra will be available, at the end of rebuilding mandate or orieentering?

[slate ridge]

Soon

[native cargo]

what welfare op is a defender

[ancient lotus]

Sankta

[boreal steeple]

Yes

[coarse notch]

bison

[boreal steeple]

Heavyrain

[raven ermine]

Shalem

[coarse notch]

senshi

[boreal steeple]

#game-news just wait

[coarse notch]

underflow czerny
does philae count

[raven ermine]

czerny too

[boreal steeple]

Ask shileds, its a shoperator i mean

[formal shadow]

bison

[abstract mauve]

philae doesnt count

[coarse notch]

aw man

[abstract mauve]

i would've liked some of the shoperators but ye

[native cargo]

is sideroca good

[coarse notch]

lmao no

[abstract mauve]

god no

[bright lake]

does uh.. does raidian s3 deal arts? or phys

[abstract mauve]

arts

[coarse notch]

it'd be really awkward if it did phys while applying arts fragile

[abstract mauve]

it really would be

[native cargo]

who best welfare defender

[bright lake]

wait fr? damn okay

[formal shadow]

sankmik

[abstract mauve]

my goat sankta miksa

[coarse notch]

is bro trying to play welfareknights or something

[formal shadow]

in a world of 0 damage and 0 defense, have 1 defense and deal 1 damage makes you king

[boreal steeple]

Sankta ig. Shalem and czerny are dpses in disguise

[raven ermine]

Why are you looking for a welfare defender anyway
They're not useful

[abstract mauve]

sankta is good

[silver smelt]

i mean sankta is a pretty good brick

[raven ermine]

Sankta also isn't cheap
And unavailable currently

[native cargo]

bruh only those in current past events

[abstract mauve]

none of them are good

just stick to cuora. you'll get more mileage out of her

[native cargo]

wht about guard

[formal shadow]

raidian s1

[coarse notch]

underflow is pretty alright imo

[abstract mauve]

ye but she isnt available rn

[formal shadow]

but you can't get underflow now so

[raven ermine]

Why are you looking for welfares exactly
Tequila

[silver smelt]

teq

[coarse notch]

fuck i keep forgetting

[native cargo]

i need something tht could block

[silver smelt]

do u not have idk , cuora? gummy?

[formal shadow]

raidian s2 duh

[royal swan]

Just use 3 and 4 stars

[native cargo]

for annihilation i dont hve much blockers

[coarse notch]

cuora, spot, cardigan, beagle, gummy, bubble

[raven ermine]

Why not use the operators you have already ?
Like spot, noir corne ?

[bright lake]

wait am i tripping absolute balls, or did Raidian 3 block s1 use to give her summons an overshield..?

[royal swan]

Max 3 stars and e1 max 4 stars are cheap to build and function well enough to clear annihilation

[abstract mauve]

it gives them and herself barrier and defense

[royal swan]

Yes, read the skill 😭

[silver smelt]

Wdym by "raidian 3 block s1 use"

[native cargo]

ok i thought 3 stars are outdated

[bright lake]

uhh

[light latch]

Block count has little to do with rarity?

[abstract mauve]

wrong raidian

[silver smelt]

they are but theyre dirt cheap and definitely fine for ur usecase

[formal shadow]

wrong raidian

[bright lake]

?? wait why are there 2

[raven ermine]

When you have a full roster of 6* they are
Just use the tools that are at your disposal

[boreal steeple]

Wtf is this raidian alter

[abstract mauve]

that's the stronghold protocol raidian

[coarse notch]

the original raidian was a decel binder from SP

[silver smelt]

lmao

[light latch]

If u just need someone to hold enemies in place for a few seconds then being a 3* isnt an issue

[royal swan]

This was from a different event before she was playable so she didn't have a kit then

[formal shadow]

no that's astgen2 actually

[abstract mauve]

:aware:

[bright lake]

uhhh, i dont remember there being any old event where raidian was playable

[boreal steeple]

Ah yes noir my goat

[coarse notch]

stronghold protocol like shileds said

[bright lake]

ah missed this. i see

[royal swan]

They're basic, they're worse than higher rarity but they're also cheap to build rather than wasting resources to build a 5* that will do the same thing and then never be used later

3* are also good for the earlier ISes since they don't cost hope there

[native cargo]

i need them to survive in sidelane

atleast with a healer and not get 1 shot

[coarse notch]

just use your 3/4 star defenders,

[royal swan]

Use ptilopsis/perfumer to cover multiple lanes

Units like gummy are also self sufficient and don't usually need extra healing on them

[native cargo]

worth?

[raven ermine]

A max level noir corne is like 6k lmd, and has defensive stats on par with spot e1 10-20

[light latch]

What are u fighting that your defenders are getting one shot

[native cargo]

annihilation maps

[silver smelt]

go cuora
if cuora gets "one shot" you have a bigger problem

[native cargo]

i dont wna gamble 😭

[boreal steeple]

And he's cheap to place so dp refund is better

[light latch]

Which anni map is dealing over 2k dmg per atk

[royal swan]

What are the 4* and lower defenders u do own then

[native cargo]

only gummy

[boreal steeple]

Idk, nervous impairment? Jk

[raven ermine]

I honestly can't, from the top of my head, think of any damn annihilations that would one tap a noir corne, so how

[light latch]

There is zero chance gummy is your only low rarity defender, try again

[royal swan]

Gummy is 4*
What about beagle cardigan spot noir corne

[reef sparrow]

how about you send your krooster

[native cargo]

for 4 star only gummy then beagle spot (i dont like him)

[royal swan]

Also probably specify which annihilation

[raven ermine]

Yeah well you need spot e1 for base anyway, so might as well

[royal swan]

If u play IS at some point u will really wanna build spot and gummy anyway, also e1 needed for base like they said so no real reason to ignore him

[boreal steeple]

3k ch10 cannon

[native cargo]

alr

[light latch]

They specified laneholding

[boreal steeple]

What if-

[native cargo]

is there e2 for 3 stars below

[royal swan]

1 and 2 stars cap at e0 lv 30
3 stars cap at e1 lv 55

[violet python]

just e2'd ray. who should i prio next? or should i mod1 ray first?
https://www.krooster.com/u/icebloxs

[neat acorn]

[atomic minnow]

will there be more rebuilding mandate stages?

[reef sparrow]

give ray a level , mod1 is fine, then focus on masteries

[neat acorn]

Do I keep going up in difficulty till I can’t beat IS

[royal swan]

Prob e2 mon3tr/eyja for 6*

Kroos tequila specter for 5*

[violet python]

🤣 k ill get mod1
m3 sakiko and ray > e2ing others?

[royal swan]

M3 and mod 3 sakiko prob since the other 6* are functional at e1

[vivid yew]

i got this pebble while headhunting

is she bad

[royal swan]

Depends on what ur going for, higher difficulty gives more points for the bpass

If ur on IS6 some of the missions require specific difficulties as well

[royal swan]

Usable but prob can be ignored on most accounts, u shouldn't be desperate for arts dmg but she's decent if u need some

[neat acorn]

I’m doing IS5

Is there any specific missions for that

[royal swan]

Just do the highest u can consistently win on if ur trying to nax the bpass

If u like the mode and wanna challenge urself u can try different strats/aim to clear different endings or go higher in difficulties as well

[violet python]

gotcha
so ill mod1 ray, mod3 and m3 sakiko... and then e2 others?
also i could also lvl up the 3*s for IS right? just started IS2 and i feel like my 3 stars are ass cause not lvled up at all haha

[reef sparrow]

ye

[winter crystal]

best arts caster of the 5 stars (also considered one of the highest dps of 5 stars)

[reef sparrow]

mon3 can be your last e2 at your current ops

[royal swan]

Yep I wasn't sure if u were but if ur playing IS you can build some of the 3* as well

Also m3 ray s3 (masteries don't cost lmd or exp anyway so shouldn't affect ur ability to raise the other stuff)

If ur playing IS5 u can also consider some 4* like gummy as well since they cost 0 hope to recruit in that IS onwards

[violet python]

i did not know that... i was just playing IS2 cause i figured i start from the beginning lol

[neat acorn]

IS5 is pretty easy

Learned how it worked in some hours or so after asking around

[royal swan]

Yea u don't really have to, I started with IS5 when I was new, story isn't connected across different ISes anyway

IS2 has the least mechanic so it's the simplest but IS5 felt much easier on a new account for me

[reef sparrow]

how long will it take to grind all resources in is5?

[fathom hawk]

do they introduce more annihilation stages :(

[reef sparrow]

assuming I can just spam the highest diff multiplier

[neat acorn]

I saw this on YouTube but which stage or IS the Amiya boss

[silver smelt]

is2 very hard
to stay awake while playing

[royal swan]

There are strats that minimize fights and u can just use those to rush ed1 in 30-45 mins

[royal swan]

IS5 ED5

[reef sparrow]

would that be decent points per run?

[silver smelt]

about 15 minutes once you get it down

not sure ho wmuch points it is off the otp of my head, like 1.7k at d10?

[royal swan]

I forgot how much u get for a run but I assume somewhere between 1-2k? Assuming u beat ed 1

[reef sparrow]

that doesn't sound so bad, compared to grinding RA at least

[silver smelt]

grinding ra is easier you can clear the entire shop in 3 hours

[violet python]

thx! will try it out!

[royal swan]

RA is faster once u finish the initial setup, only takes an hour or so to clear the shop after

[reef sparrow]

yes but it's gd boring that I almost fell asleep tapping things

[royal swan]

IS is just more fun for most people so it doesn't feel like a chore compared to RA

The requirements to actually play IS are much lower than RA funnily enough so it's not really feasible to play RA normally on newer accounts

[neat acorn]

RA is high cortisol

[reef sparrow]

ye IS sounds a bit fun while grinding gonna do it when out of sanity then

[fiery canopy]

took me like 2-3 days

[neat acorn]

What was your average clear time

[fiery canopy]

uh 10-15 mins

[royal swan]

Yep they do, they add new ones every few weeks, saltfin is a pretty recent one and will be replaced in 6-7 weeks

[neat acorn]

Do I just use plans to skip the fights or something
