help

[coarse notch]

i wish i couldnt see at all considering what im reading here today

[urban sleet]

They wete tyoing few secs ago then dipped

[frosty sun]

How do I do the quest tho? I need to continue it

[severe crypt]

You still need to shoot your keyboard

[pale tapir]

do you have training room built in base?

[tiny abyss]

Do specialization training in base

[short steppe]

[frosty sun]

Yes only 1

[coarse notch]

you need training room level 2, then upgrade a skill that is already at sl7 on an e2 operator to mastery 2
do this for an actually good operator though, would be helpful if we got a picture of your 6 stars

[pale tapir]

great use it
mastery a worthwhile skill to m2
don't just pick a random skill

[tiny abyss]

Or uh use the m3 tickets from IS5 or 6

[short steppe]

@glacial sandal do you have a Krooster account set-up currently ?

[frosty sun]

I wanted to do it for my fav chara siege

[glacial sandal]

I just made one

[waxen dove]

do u really think theyve cleared is5or is6

[short steppe]

Can you please share that Krooster account and we may look at your ops

[glacial sandal]

I do not know how this works

[winter crystal]

“Is this bait”

[waxen dove]

if u want it do it bro
stop listening and play the game as u like

[tiny abyss]

Its earlier in the battlepass so shouldnt take long if they were to grind it

[frosty sun]

I haven't been playing so much the game i did play from time to time but I use siege allot

[coarse notch]

fyi siege is probably one of the worst 6 stars in the game
if you're aware of that then do as you wish

[waxen dove]

its still level 65 soooo

[pale tapir]

you can use siege (note that she's not going to carry you, she's quite the underperformer) but please don't burn resources giving her masteries
you can do that later when you have resources to spare

[urban sleet]

Its fine your main priority is raising base slaves atm, look up base guide here or \baseskill jn #bot-spam or #r-i-i-c pins

[winter crystal]

……so like the complete opposite of what this channel is here for

[short steppe]

Hit the Three-lined menu tab

• Click Profile
• Click View Profile
• Then copy link

[frosty sun]

No honestly I didnt

[waxen dove]

bro is not letting go of that base thing
now i know why you flamed me for orundum farming even tho its the most low cortisol thing ever

[short steppe]

Does that help @glacial sandal ?

[pale tapir]

holy unbuilt ops

[urban sleet]

They are new hence they jeed to raise base slaves?

[waxen dove]

i mean
if they really wanna do it you cant say no thatd be acting in bad faith against their will
but yeah u should tell them that siege sucks ass

[coarse notch]

holy old account
either give masteries to sash or e2 ray and give masteries to her

[tiny abyss]

Is Siege really the only op without SP lockout

[winter crystal]

“What are we here for just to suffer”

You 10 min ago bc of your base decisions

[short steppe]

I respect the Siege E2 lol

Tis silly

[severe crypt]

I think so? At least purely

[pale tapir]

ray s3m3 is worth it

[frosty sun]

Yeah i haven't been playing for a long time started again

[waxen dove]

yeah it gets tense sometimes seeing your factory on idle for 5 hours because no sanity

[severe crypt]

Ray and Pepe have some way of getting around it but it’s not pure sp lockout bypass

[winter crystal]

Sounds like you’re making the right decisions

[frosty sun]

What shoud I focuse building then?

[coarse notch]

ray

[urban sleet]

.

[waxen dove]

i dont need lmd tho
and only 1 out of the 5 factories produces shards

[pale tapir]

to complete the mission do silverass mastery since you have him e2 already
but yes build ray
if you love siege and she's your #1 waifu you can mastery her much later when you aren't starving for strong content-clearing ops

[winter crystal]

Newbie who doesn’t need lmd who complained about not having lmd 10 min ago

[waxen dove]

when did i say i need lmd

[frosty sun]

Thx for the tipps

[floral light]

(#help message)

[short steppe]

From that list-

• Ray
• Blaze
• ifirit
• Ling
• Eyja

Each are good but Ray might be priority
Tis just my opinion though

[urban sleet]

For once your opinion aligns with meta

[winter crystal]

#help message “I need lmd” are you skizo or am I just dead from a bait

[short steppe]

Blaze my favourite Lane holder
Plus Ling is a great op

[pale tapir]

I wouldn't put blaze up as a high priority but sure ig

[waxen dove]

oh
sorry i dont need lmd only exp cards

[urban sleet]

Oh wait I didnt notice the blaze up there

[winter crystal]

…….

[tiny abyss]

-# Both are

[short steppe]

Not as high but still a great choice-

Tis why Ray is priority

[pale tapir]

I love blaze but I'd be hard pressed to call investing in her a great choice
she fell off years ago

[urban sleet]

You can stop glazing old ops atp

[waxen dove]

unironically are there any fat ops in arknights

[tiny abyss]

Also does all puller have force 3 on highest mastery

[urban sleet]

Dont make JJ add blaze in his nickname too

[median fable]

Blaze is an e1 at most as placeholder, doesn't cost much and should work fine enough for his usecase

[little kestrel]

Chat who's like the go to, to pull for sash-alter banner

[short steppe]

Pure spite she'll be my first M9 op

[pale tapir]

pram alter

[waxen dove]

sashalter maybe, i wouldnt know 💀🤤

[urban sleet]

Pram alter if casual
Sash2 for hard content

Or yk just get both

[waxen dove]

true chad reaction
this is the only right answer

[tiny abyss]

Enter John Lowroll

[floral light]

you mean 2? almond only has 1 on s1m3

[glacial sandal]

Is this the link I’m supposed to send because I clicked view profile but it just turns the screen darker for me for some reason

[little kestrel]

What synergieseseses with trag in the banner

[tiny abyss]

Oh so no
Cuz Iirc Gladiia has force same force on all 3 skills at m3

[short steppe]

Ughhh- probably; send it in chat and ill click it

[pale tapir]

yes

[urban sleet]

None, synergies are not the optinal choice mose of the time anyways

[glacial sandal]

https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/peace-coral-dove-81cu

[median fable]

my recommendation, stop thinking about synergies since they aren't really a big thing in the game

[short steppe]

yeah it worked

[floral light]

it's pull force 2 unless I'm remembering wrong

[little kestrel]

Ah what I mean by that is do they go well with him in the squad

[urban sleet]

Yeah for the 5th time raise base slaves then work on zuo le

[tiny abyss]

Oh yea its force 2 mb

[short steppe]

Ah- so basically thats all the ops you have @glacial sandal

• Raise base ops
• Zuo Le
• Saria

In that order

[median fable]

as long you aren't competing for the elemenatl injury bar everyone would benefit from him in the squad simply for the fact that he's meta

[urban sleet]

Sarua can stay e1 max for a good while, no need to e2 just yet, eve moreso when pram2 is around

[pale tapir]

and please get tequila and krooster from side stories 😭
bro got olivia before tequila or krooster

[urban sleet]

Yeah^

[median fable]

I'd rather do e2 Tequila s2m3 and mod that e2 Saria

[short steppe]

Thats why I said base ops-

[urban sleet]

You add ops in squad for their indivual roles, and none of them get in each other's way

[icy condor]

Can mulberry heal frozen effects or nah?

[tiny abyss]

Shorten the duration of it

[urban sleet]

Frozen is negative status not elemental dmg

[glacial sandal]

I used my 2 event disks for the week already for Lava the Purgatory and Lumen so I have to wait till next week

[median fable]

freeze isn't an elemental dmg, it's a negative status effect
these can be "healed" by therapist but it's not worth

[tiny abyss]

Oh I confused therapist

[pale tapir]

berries are wandering

[tiny abyss]

Yeh

[icy condor]

Ahh ok, who's a good healer for neg status? I'm going to do Anni 5, do you think I'd need a healer for frozen statuses?

[pale tapir]

just let them unfreeze

[median fable]

did yoi ignore my text on purpose or what?

[severe crypt]

Just use your best overall healer

[tiny abyss]

Is it the Ursus mines

[raven ermine]

None, you don't use medics for those
Just play around it

[vast peak]

I have 120 pulls, should i pull to get either Logos or Monster on the Orienteering Headhunt?

[short steppe]

I know my Krooster account will 100% give people a stroke

[median fable]

we've seen rechord's one, hard to beat it

[tiny abyss]

-# Mlynar S1M3

[short steppe]

I had people questioning my use of free will

[urban sleet]

Tbh your krooster wont, we have seen cursed 4/5 star e2s over good units

[worldly estuary]

How bad is it? 💀

[short steppe]

Unfortunately my Krooster is in the process of getting fixed so its not bad anymore

[ancient current]

a base nerd tried fixing it but couldn't

anyways, moving on

[short steppe]

My goat ^

[balmy panther]

is the IS dlc already here?

[urban sleet]

Only thr announcement

[shadow bay]

how peak the dlc??

[median fable]

from what I heard, it made is6 easier

[icy condor]

No, sorry. Accidentally missed it

[tiny abyss]

Does dlc mean we can just not download it

[icy condor]

Alr then, tysm dude

[ancient current]

the game still remains online on servers all time so like

[vernal hemlock]

Is SA's banner right after Mantra or is there another 2 week banner in between ?

[ancient current]

that we don't know

[median fable]

"2 week" banner doesn't narrow it anyway since all banners are two weeks long

[urban sleet]

CN had icebreaker games in between, who knows what global schedule would be

[vernal hemlock]

Much appreciated

[raven ermine]

Another icebreaker ? Soccer is back ?

[short steppe]

And no gambling?

Damn

[urban sleet]

Yes aak your partner if they have skill issue this is wht I bought aak skin in 2022

[tiny abyss]

Wait can you get banned from icebreaker

[raven ermine]

If they don't steal kafka/weedy they don't get the aak

[hexed adder]

Just temporary matchmaking ban i believe

[shadow bay]

afaik u can get banned for matchmaking but only certain time

yep im slow time to pack up

[urban sleet]

I should not pair up with you then, got it

[short steppe]

I need to finish my ines M3

[urban sleet]

Wait does weedy masteries matter for icebreaker

[raven ermine]

It's easy so you can do without
But yeah ofc they do

[urban sleet]

next mastery target

[plain hemlock]

Does leizi2 off-skill get hit by those dublin caster fireballs?

[tiny abyss]

Shouldn't

[pale tapir]

from what I remember no

[urban sleet]

Levitate do be protecting her

[plain hemlock]

Epic

[tiny abyss]

Those deal fire elem right

[plain hemlock]

Burn yeah

[jade herald]

guys what would be best? First time getting it

[ancient current]

crowd control sounds solid

[short steppe]

I forget who you get with that

[raven ermine]

Definitely cc

[median fable]

ceobe, weedy and mosti (the good ones)
also phantom and rosa iirc

[ancient current]

ceobe weedy phantom rosa mosti

[jade herald]

i also saw it in recruitOCR recomendation. think gonna go with it

[ancient current]

and another one... forgot

[median fable]

currently only these 5, i don't remember if CN had added someone

[ancient current]

yeah nvm only these 5 im tripping

[median fable]

they didn't

[short steppe]

Ceobe is a good pick- niche but she has her uses

[ancient current]

same goes for weedy

[median fable]

caster tag got a big debuff

[short steppe]

Indeed-

[raven ermine]

Even mosti/phantom are decent
More than half the pool of TO tag is worse than them

[median fable]

they now have Passenger and Carne 🥀

[ancient current]

oh wait right it's pissenger I was thinking about

[short steppe]

Passenger is good in is

[raven ermine]

Yeah they diluted it so much
Ceobe p5 will be so hard to hit now

[short steppe]

I forget which is though

[median fable]

yk my nick has a # of characters limit, right?

[raven ermine]

[ancient current]

uh no

[raven ermine]

You like an op =/= they are good

[short steppe]

I thought that was his only good use

[ancient current]

passenger's only good use is in base

[median fable]

maybe 4 years ago

[keen hedge]

Passenger animated skin is one of the best in the game 😎

[short steppe]

Based

[abstract mauve]

it's ass tho

[raven ermine]

Snegu 🥱 🥱

[median fable]

in is2 he had the hand iirc

[short steppe]

I don’t like passenger though

[ancient current]

do keep irrelevant topics for yourself

[abstract mauve]

he has the hand in a lot of ISses. it's even guaranteed in is5

[pale glen]

Hi, just wondering what does doing mandate reward? Is it worth the gameplay?

[ancient current]

the rewards are good

[raven ermine]

It's a lot of free mats so ofc

[shadow bay]

it have rewards for ur account

[short steppe]

Worth the investment of Mandate

do the event

[pale glen]

Thanks guys

[median fable]

I'm trying to find a link on how he could have thought that passenger was good in IS
back then with the release of modules and Passenger being called Godsenger there was some hype about him

[ancient current]

he's pretty fun with undulation slop

[raven ermine]

When his mod released the competition was way lower quality

[median fable]

only becuase of the hand relic, even drafted over GG according to the casual player

[ancient current]

you shouldn't dig deep into it, though

[coarse notch]

undulation players are the best players because you have to be the best to pilot that horrible squad

[short steppe]

Im out here using silky ops for real-
Anyways I can just use other ops in IS

[woven fjord]

when in doubt, silvergun it out

[short steppe]

I got many M3's I need to finish- rip my materials

[raven raptor]

noob question: is there any reason to upgrade all my factories to level 3?
when I upgraded one factory to level 3, it gave me the tactical battle record recipe.
but now my T2 factories can produce tactical battle records as well!

if I upgrade to level 3, I can fit more operators in each factory.
but I don't really understand what benefit that provides.
I don't have that many operators who have factory productivity bonuses, and if I'm reading this correctly, it looks like an unskilled operator only gives a +1% bonus.

right now I'm 1-5-3, with lots of power to spare because most of my factories are level two.
would it make sense to replace a power plant with a trading post and go 2-5-2?

[buoyant sigil]

2-5-2 is the way to go. You don’t need that much power, while a trading post would be really welcome

[raven raptor]

am I right that there's no real benefit to upgrading my factories to level 3?

[buoyant sigil]

There is

[raven ermine]

For now you're limited by workers
Past a point you're not, and a bonus slot for efficiency is very good
If you have some power restrictions (due to upgraded office/RR), you can leave some lv2 instead, but obviously, a lv3 factory will produce more in a shift than a lv2 one

Even if you're using operators without the corresponding baseskills

Also, yes, switch to 252, that's the best base setup you can use for productivity

[hexed adder]

Whale setup detected yea u better convert to 252, more worker slot means more%. The main benefits is more production building tbh, even if u already maxed right its still worth it. As long as not lv1 fac which would cap very fast

[raven ermine]

Another benefit of factory lv3 is the cap limit yeah
If you're using, say, weedy/purestream in a lv2 fac, you'll cap before the end of your 12h shift
So it requires you to login more to achieve max efficiency

[raven raptor]

thanks for the explanation! is there any way to find out how much more a lvl3 factory produces in a shift than a lvl2 one?

currently my best guess at the answer is "1% more because you have a third unskilled operator working on it" but it sounds like that's wrong?

cap limit is a good point tho

[buoyant sigil]

Also keep your dorms and office/rr at 1 okay? Okay

[hexed adder]

If u indeed whale probably u know what u cook on 153 🚬

[raven raptor]

me? no, I'm free-to-play. been stuck on levels for the past couple weeks, trying to break through to elite 2 but it's slooooow

[hexed adder]

Ye convert asap

[buoyant sigil]

Don’t do things solely for pinboard missions either. They’re not worth it and push you to do horrible decisions saying it because of the mission that tells you to basically max a dorm. Just ignore it

It might seem attractive at first because of 300k lmd and texas but lmd isn’t that much of a problem so long as your base is decent and texas isn’t good

[raven ermine]

idr how much the innate bonus is, but from the top of my head idt it's 1%
iirc even base workers without an associated skill are 5% innate from the slot being filled instead of empty

Also, as i said, you'll soon-ish be able to use 25% workers at least for each of your shifts
If you didn't look into it, i recommend you to watch this, it should help with staggering your shifts in order to use less ops for the same results, making it easier to fill your facilities
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0si4HMQuYBo&t=35s

[hexed adder]

Dont forget /baseskills #bot-spam

[raven ermine]

And /base for converting to 252

[raven raptor]

thanks for the help! I like that you get this question so often there are macros for it

[buoyant sigil]

Since it’s a pick3 (so not on pull rec): should I still have resources after the sa2/pram2 banner, will the pick3 right after it (according to /cnbanner in botspam) be good? It has ulpi, trag, nymph, narantuya, mylnar and stainless. To me (who owns none of those) it sounds like mylnar/trag/ulpi could be a good choice?
Hypothetically that is. I already know how poor I’ll be after sa2/pram2

[raven ermine]

the bot commands can be very useful for new players yeah

[raven ermine]

We have no clue if that banner will still be relevant because they sometimes switch the lineup compared to CN release
I would recommend picking mlynar/trag/ulpi (nymph can be decent too instead of ulpi), but considering we're expecting MH collab somewhere after wang/chen3 banner, it would really depend on your pull economy

[buoyant sigil]

Good to know. What’s your opinion between nymph and ulpi? I know they have completely different roles, but inside their niches are they just about equal value?

[coarse notch]

id say ulpi is much better value here tbh, especially since trag is on the same banner

[raven ermine]

Nymph is niche for ST stalling, she was somewhat pushed out of her niche by tragodia, but i can still see her being used in some high end content
cough cough supp ban
Ulpi is very good for general content and can statcheck a lot of things, but he's not as useful for hard content, where he does not provide any utility and fold in front of enemies with bloated stats
Still a good draft in IS if you get initial sp relics/toothpick, but more of a sidenote than a real usecase

[proven kelp]

Counterpoint
Nymph is cuter

[short steppe]

Crazy counter-point

[waxen dove]

wowie i can finaly get mlynar and tragodia lets fcking go boys

[raven ermine]

inb4 they switch both

[waxen dove]

no she is infact not

[shadow bay]

[waxen dove]

dont talk negatively

[raven ermine]

[plain hemlock]

Nymph can bypass some annoying DR/dodge mechanics with S3 if you have virtuosa. If not, Ulpi is definitely more valuable

[waxen dove]

Also is it just me or someone else also think chen3 is kinda ass without the right stage
ifrit all over again

why is ulpi or nymph even a convo when trag is a given choice already

[raven ermine]

I don't have nymph
But i would use her in RAcc, you can only take tragodia once and you have 2 acts per day

[waxen dove]

hmm
dont play ra really so cant comment

[raven ermine]

The ifrit tile is a big propaganda that need to die down now
If you need res shred you take ifrit
One tile is enough

[waxen dove]

i mean
not really
ifrit only for res shred seems bad to me unless youre playing some fuckass 100 res enemy

[raven ermine]

guess what you use ifrit for 🥹

[plain hemlock]

She doesn't benefit that much from an ifrit lane, it just "feels bad" to deploy her perpendicular to the lane but in reality it's fine

[waxen dove]

cant lie chen3 still sucks

[plain hemlock]

You literally just lied

[waxen dove]

i do not lie

[humble nova]

is there any other operator who can remove negative statuses

[ancient current]

does from themselves count

[plain hemlock]

Dollkeepers

[raven ermine]

pepe s1

[pine plover]

lessing s3

[plain hemlock]

Pepe use case, lets gooo

[waxen dove]

lumen

[raven ermine]

And that's it, there's no one else

[ancient current]

technically lee doesn't get stunned

[plain hemlock]

Idk if ulpi S3 does it

[raven ermine]

no, ulpi can dodge the effect with iframes

[ancient current]

doesn't he remove burning breath when activating s3

[plain hemlock]

Doesn't he cleanse when activating S3 or when it finishes?

[raven ermine]

Yeah maybe rdp would cleanse, never paid attention actually

[buoyant sigil]

lumen does and that’s his whole thing but i don’t know the context well so

[ancient current]

lemme test that rq

[plain hemlock]

he should since it's a redeploy

[hexed adder]

He even removed sss buff back then, which is patched later

[pine plover]

-1 block is also negative status

lets call it breached or something

[ancient current]

yep he cleanses burning breath on s3

[pine plover]

lumen will waste his s3 ammo on this

[ancient current]

pretty sure it isn't

I mean, the wiki doesn't list it as a negative status

[pine plover]

he did, RA players discover it during monsoon

[ancient current]

oh lmfao what

[pine plover]

[ancient current]

uh lemme open code of brawl rq

[pine plover]

why dont just obsidian festival

[ancient current]

uh sure that works too

[raven ermine]

Cleansed freeze on s3 return too
Guess i just never paid attention to it

[plain hemlock]

He would cleanse Heidi skill then lmao

[pine plover]

after all theraphist and -1 block were introduced in same event

[ancient current]

that's not a negative status she applies iirc
-1 block neg status has that icon above the op, she doesn't

[pine plover]

heidi is -3 block count

[ancient current]

ye

[plain hemlock]

Hmm makes sense, I never used her

[pine plover]

-1 block from enemy's agent has icon

and monsoon too for what's worth

[short steppe]

Ines is currently upgrading to S2M3-

Who should be next from this list

[raven ermine]

Heidi isn't a debuff
It's a buff, you can see it in tomimi, it's block down

[orchid plover]

Why is there no rewards associated with these events ?

[ancient current]

oh yeah ulpi cleanses -1 block lol

funny

[woven fjord]

we'll be in the year 2030 and they will still release +Block as a "buff" 😭

[ancient current]

i mean it's a rdp so makes sense

[raven ermine]

Saki, logos, wisadel, mlynar
Idk why they're greyed out, but those

[woven fjord]

buffing my healing pressure lovely jobley

[ancient current]

alyssal don't let your palmtop pavilion ptsd seep into help

[woven fjord]

i mean, as a concept +block isnt actually a buff in most cases anyway its not strictly IS.

[short steppe]

Just to focus on the materials I need to grind them out-

Saki just needs Module lvl 3
Logos is already M6'd

Probably Mlynar or Wisadel would be next

[ancient current]

that's fair tbh it's barely ever useful

[woven fjord]

the only time i think ive ever been like "hey +block!" was with the lapp alt event truck that - block but requires 3

[raven ermine]

Aly what are good options for is6 ed2 left side ?

Tried it blind without going to tavern last run and exploded

[woven fjord]

Leizi alt s3, entelechia s2, FRDs with ascalon, wis 2. pram is decent left as well once she drops

Leizi and Entel have the advantage left of doing it mostly solo. same with wis but you have to redeploy wis every time. ascalon needs help at higher d cause she doesnt do damage to edges themselves

[raven ermine]

I'll try leizi/asca, not a fan of wis drafts
Thanks

[ancient current]

it's funny because lumen s2 that's supposed to cleanse negative statuses doesn't cleanse -1 block

[plain hemlock]

Does the +block count as a buff/debuff when it comes from those sarkaz blobs?

[ancient current]

can anyone lend me an e2 lumen rq

[raven ermine]

Don't have him else i would have tried it

[ivory terrace]

for the purposes of what

[woven fjord]

sure. one sec

[short steppe]

Ill double check if my Lumen is E2

Yeah my Lumen is E2

[woven fjord]

Alyssal #4474

[ancient current]

i just need to see if he still wastes charges on -1 block

ty

[short steppe]

ImSwifting#9861

[pine plover]

found the convo
#strategy message

[ancient current]

sent req to both

[short steppe]

There you go

[tropic gale]

Guys, in rebuilding mandate, i wanted to use logos on arts outpost, does the 100% buff activate whne his skill activate or does he get 50% when he first activated it

[ivory terrace]

100% on first skill proc

[ancient current]

he doesn't waste charges on -1 block in OF

[short steppe]

Tell me when you finished up with Lumen so I can swap Blaze back in

[ivory terrace]

convo was in RA wasn't it

[proven kelp]

I think RA is just built different

[ancient current]

ye i have

[ancient current]

I think RA just sucks

👍

[proven kelp]

Frfr

[raven ermine]

Lies

[ancient current]

anyways

[tropic gale]

If he is retreated and i deployed him again, does the activation of his s1 still get 100% or it become 50%

[pine plover]

he was hunting the zhayedan during monsoon and none of the enemies there inflict neg. status

[ancient current]

yeah RA is just ass

[ivory terrace]

prob resets back? idk

[fiery canopy]

❌

[willow jacinth]

Does Reinforcement from Tactician Vanguard counts as a summon especially for Relics in Integrated Strategy?

[woven fjord]

yes

[hexed adder]

Its not about the -1 block tbh, the whole moonson debuff is the one count as negative status

If cleansed, hp and blocks back to normal for brief moment

[ancient current]

that would be it

weird though lol

[pine plover]

since when HG doing stuff that makes sense

[blissful saffron]

What is Ascalons best skill ?

[signal dragon]

S2

[humble nova]

whats this around my lumen? seems like exu2 doing something

[signal dragon]

read exu talent

[ivory terrace]

exu2 talent yes affects all with ammo skill. x2 if laterano faction

[humble nova]

ohhh.. I never rlly considered lumen's skill to be like that

[ancient lintel]

I mean 9% atk buff means he heals 9% more than usual so it's nice

[humble nova]

true

[abstract mauve]

nop. that's not how math works

[humble nova]

oh 🥀

[ivory terrace]

another 9% atk off base?

[abstract mauve]

it's generic atk buff ye

[haughty oasis]

Do I pull on mantra

[short steppe]

Depends-

[pale tapir]

how many pulls do you have saved
your account is already stacked tbh

[short steppe]

This account might be stacked lol

[raven ermine]

mod2 that leizi please

[short steppe]

Honestly- you could pull for Mantra but SAalter will be arriving after her which will be a great pick-up; depends on how many pulls you currently have and right now owning Mantra will just be luxury

[ivory terrace]

lmao 750

[haughty oasis]

Gonna pull on Sa alter + next cny banner

[short steppe]

I know this is an unnecessary post-

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE 750+ PULLS

How do you have all these ops and that many pulls

[haughty oasis]

I started like month 3

[short steppe]

Now that is just poor gaslighting lol

[raven ermine]

So you know but did it anyway uh ?

With 750 pulls you're fine, pull whatever you want, you shouldn't miss anything if you're not going overboard

[pale tapir]

yeah I mean you can afford to pull on mantra if you want her

[haughty oasis]

Is there anyone else between now and the next cny banner worth pulling on other than sa

[odd sky]

stil don't pull kernel and rotating standard

[short steppe]

Bro did not start 3 months ago

[ivory terrace]

nth worth noting lol
it's like nasti and titi

[haughty oasis]

Month 3 of the game

[pale tapir]

he said month 3 not 3 months ago

[floral light]

"month 3" not 3 months ago

[ivory terrace]

oh month 3 as in 2020 era

[short steppe]

Oh- my head might be hurting rn lol

my bad for reading that wrong

[pale tapir]

I started day 1 not yesterday

[haughty oasis]

Does mantra have any use cases

[raven ermine]

Honestly upcoming banners are all pretty low prio, so you're not missing out on much
And you would need some very low percentile luck to even miss on anything at all

[short steppe]

The highest prio would be SAalter and Wang, no?

[haughty oasis]

I guess I'll save for just limited banners for now then

[odd sky]

don't tell me the odds

[formal shadow]

Pramalt and wang :clueless:

[silver smelt]

save what bro you have enough to 300 both and more

[haughty oasis]

What should I build on wang and chen alt 2

[signal dragon]

s3m3 on both

[haughty oasis]

I don't have naruntaya

[formal shadow]

Surely max pot whoever is mh collab op

[silver smelt]

help moved from sakiko glaze phase to pramalt glaze it seems

[pale tapir]

fae and I still glaze sakichan

[abstract mauve]

we glazed sakiko?

[formal shadow]

That was a running is central gag

[short steppe]

My account looks poor compared to Kettle's

And we both started in 2020

[raven ermine]

smth smth poor management idk

[short steppe]

plus many breaks in between- do be like that sometimes

Multi Month / Year breaks

[haughty oasis]

Tbf I did a big whale once and I still monthly pass every month

[stray gust]

I am more curious on what kettle didn't raise though

[silver smelt]

"Sakiko 300k total damage , one of the best unit in the game" was a real helpchat sentence

[vocal rapids]

???

[short steppe]

I whaled during Chen Alter and Ling and that was the last time I spent money on the game

Been free to play and only spent money on stuff like Kal'st maid skin

[pale tapir]

to make dualchip you need the higher level chips
clear the stage above the base one

[signal dragon]

you don't have tier 2 chips

[formal shadow]

Wrong chips

[vocal rapids]

Wow.

[silver smelt]

hi guys helpchat said sakiko scales best why my sakiko ass on dlc0? please answer

[formal shadow]

I don't play is6 cause it's ass

[vocal rapids]

I feel dumb now

[silver smelt]

sakiko supposed to be best is6 guard :realmad: helpchat lied to me!1!!1

[pine plover]

the chip shape isnt even same

[odd sky]

no one said sakiko best guard 🚬

[pale tapir]

she is nice to have in is6 though
I'm actually more successful using sakichan start than exialt start
maybe skill issue on my part tho

[silver smelt]

saki over exu start is crazy

[signal dragon]

how'd you manage that

[formal shadow]

Issues in skill

[odd sky]

insufficient skill

[silver smelt]

you dont even take saki start in gvg

[formal shadow]

What even is the gvg start? Leizi?

[silver smelt]

ente borrow into leizi

[formal shadow]

Oh yeah I forgor ente actually good in is6

[snow siren]

Is Mantra limited?

[stray gust]

in her defense, sakichan probably perform better in a non gvg squad

[silver smelt]

You mean archetto core?

[formal shadow]

Saki cheeto shill real

[silver smelt]

Sure shes good there but saki start sounds schizo

[formal shadow]

Surely I cheeto start

[silver smelt]

Only way i see it working is she gets e2 off the bat

[stray gust]

no, like, she is the better guard pick in other class squad but has lower priority in gvg

[pale tapir]

most of my successful clears up to and including d10 have been with saki start
low diff thing maybe?

[silver smelt]

How does she become better picks in other class squad brotato chip

[silver smelt]

Yeah idk man d15 if you dont start with s3 she just gets run over

[pale tapir]

makes sense

[silver smelt]

No damage and no survivability

[formal shadow]

Difference between d12 and d15 is pretty big in any IS

[thin torrent]

Whats the best status rn

[silver smelt]

ok i really dont know what u mean by this

[formal shadow]

[pale tapir]

status as in...?

[thin torrent]

Wait wrong server (limbus) mb

[proven kelp]

Rupture
Sinking coming in close

[odd sky]

sly

[thin torrent]

Nice, rupture eating good

[stray gust]

basically, if you are running say, defsupp squad or medsniper squad, you would want to draft sakichan if you have spare guard voucher and hope. but if you are at gvg squad, she comes after say, entel and leizi.

[silver smelt]

that still makes no sense because she doesnt function at e1
you would take someone that does, like entel or leizi

Entel and leizi are good gvg picks because they are good guard drafts
Why would using diff class squad make them any worse?

[stray gust]

because you don't draft entel for endings

or I should put, not solely for endings

[formal shadow]

Entel ed2 not real

[silver smelt]

^ and also if you are drafting for ed3 its still leizi

[raven ermine]

Aly told me otherwise, and i trust aly

[silver smelt]

Aly said saki draft dlc0? Where

[raven ermine]

Did i imply that anywhere ?

[formal shadow]

Otherwise for what?

[silver smelt]

What are you implying aly said otherwise then

[raven ermine]

You're talking about entel ed2 draft

[silver smelt]

You said "otherwise" what did they say exactly that entel is or isnt used in ed2

[raven ermine]

Is used, but i might have missed broom's sarcasm or smth

[formal shadow]

I was being sarcastic there ya

Good hitcount on s2 + DoT makes her one of the best left side solves

[pine plover]

huh, i dont remember what i picked but now my april has 2 second reployment time

[silver smelt]

Yeah either way I still dont see how saki takes priority in dlc0

[raven ermine]

No point in holding on to that, they moved on, and didn't recommend it to anyone

[silver smelt]

im lf mod 😔

[raven ermine]

April is goated with rdp relics

[haughty oasis]

How much for wang mod?

[silver smelt]

mod3

[haughty oasis]

Also chem alter 2

What mods?

[formal shadow]

Her mod is pretty meh from what I've seen

[raven ermine]

I would say mod3 also, but idk how impactful the heal upgrade is
Good units want stats anyway when you can spare it

[silver smelt]

not prio but get if you can

[glossy coral]

hi guys, is there a way in IS to know which items are still "unowned" while within a run without having to always manually exit and check? I noticed sometimes the selections will have "unowned" tag but alot of times they dont (unless I'm missing sth)

[buoyant sigil]

Whenever either ulpianus or gladiia are mentioned, the other also is; they apparently have synergy, though due to me not owning the former I never looked into it.
I’m a little curious now. How does one boost the performance of the other?

[plain eagle]

i got a major issue, does anyone have a link for the endfield discord?

i logged out of my endfield account and i cant log back in

[raven ermine]

First of all abyssal hunters talent are buffing other abyssal hunters
Secondly, gladiia's module provide DR and %regen to abyssal hunters

The issue being, running gladiia for 30%DR and 3% regen on ulpi is not worth the team slot, that's just people having a bad case of tunnel vision with synergies

[proven kelp]

Gladiia has a Talent that give Abyssal Hunters Operators Dmg Reduction and Healing
Ulpianus is an Abyssal Hunter, so it gets buffs from Gladiia Existing

[pale tapir]

google is a great tool for this

[plain eagle]

thanks for the help i guess

[buoyant sigil]

Ohh, thank you. That’s interesting. And is she only used for that? I mean, there’s also other abyssal hunters like skadi2 right(?)
Or is it just never worth

[reef sparrow]

skadi2 is not considered AH

[raven ermine]

Skalter is not an abyssal hunter
And no, running any AH, which are, outside ulpi, bad units, is not worth
The gains for ulpi are very marginal too, outside of gladiia
You just gain more running good units besides him

[sleek finch]

it is indeed, that easy

[buoyant sigil]

That’s really interesting
Yeahhh, guess that’s just what she gets from being welfare huh
Good to know.

[raven ermine]

You can have fun with AH niche, but from a meta pov, they're all not worth a team slot, especially not to enable ulpi

In gladiia's defense, she can be used outside of ulpi buff slop, shift canceling can be pretty good in some situations

[buoyant sigil]

Guess if I wanna run that big a synergy I’d much rather do mujicaknights for map-wide sakiko and fever

[sleek finch]

the issue with AH is that you must have ulpian for it to be usable in the first place

and if you did have ulpian, you can also just use him by himself

and save those AH slots for better units

[glossy coral]

guys how do i do consolidations?

[reef sparrow]

AH niche kinda good, they just sucks ass at aerial threats

[raven ermine]

Yep, when the best unit outside of ulpi for AH is skadi guard, that's saying something

[sleek finch]

you know whats the solution to this?
not using AH, which have easy access to anti air

[buoyant sigil]

Yup. Oh yeah— what ops are there in the first place? Skadi, ulpianus, gladiia and..?

[proven kelp]

In a Run, if you find a Safe House, clicking the Node will give you the prompt to enter right?

Before you enter, there's a button on the top right to feed it Plans to permanent upgrade it to an extent

[raven ermine]

Both specters and andreana

[buoyant sigil]

just use kroos1 fr

[glossy coral]

OH THANK YOU! I alreayd finished multiple runs but was weirded out why I still haven't unlocked any through combining stuff yet

[sleek finch]

synergies are simply heavily overrated in this game because of the concept of "squad slots"

[reef sparrow]

Wang and wis syngery

[bright lake]

any approximate idea when we're getting the new IS upgrade tree extention?

[buoyant sigil]

Even in Mujicaknights (which I believe to be one of the best out there due to how much damage sakiko’s s3 does) you can just take her + umiri/uika (stage dependent) and be perfectly fine already imo

Fever is okay but in many scenarios I can’t see how you’d rather do the full band rather than use another strong unit in place of, say, nyamu

[proven kelp]

I would

[raven ermine]

Just use burn slop and call it a day
Make blaze2 look at a wall and gen content explode

[buoyant sigil]

True…

[proven kelp]

General Content will die to a sneeze
Why bother bringing a full squad when i can instead bring units to play Music

[pale tapir]

real question why have blazeter look at wall

[bright lake]

@proven kelp

[proven kelp]

I'm not aware of any dates
IS doesn't really have a fixed update schedule

Even the Monthly Expansion doesn't really tell when DLC gets added

[verbal lynx]

Should I build Lappland alter?

[buoyant sigil]

Oh yeah. Asides from ah, mujica and burn I also often hear about suiknights. Am I completely wrong or is the benefit not that big

[proven kelp]

The only buff you get from Sui specifically is just Shu's SP

[raven ermine]

Someone is not a burn slop user here
You use skalter to buff blaze2 atk and sustain her s3 hp drain
You make blaze2 look at a wall during s3 so that she gain the atk% but not expand ammos on random trash
You apply burn to enemies and blaze talent make them explode for 9-10k dmg

[reef sparrow]

suiknights are for base

[buoyant sigil]

Exactly what I was thinking thank you for clarification

[stray gust]

synergies are in a weird position where you bring all of them not because of synergy, but because individually they are good by themselves.

[frigid stream]

the game is just not built for synergies

[stray gust]

ave mujica synergy is good if only they are willing to add more band members

"wdym you can't have 300+ people in a band"

[pale tapir]

waow did not think of using her talent like that
that's really cool actually thanks for the info

[raven ermine]

Impressive, i know
Now go my child, spread the word

[pale tapir]

if they included mygo or afterglow or something and extended synergy past ave mujica only it could work

[buoyant sigil]

Personally I do like the map wide sakiko range aspect as well

[frigid stream]

yeah shes a decent unit. depends on prio

[reef sparrow]

so this is the sign to raise blaze alter then

[proven kelp]

Yes pls lowlight
Give more Collab and my Life is Yours

[raven ermine]

Lv90 mod3 or zero balls

[pale tapir]

u didn't have her raised already? smh fake hag fan

[reef sparrow]

brb

[pale tapir]

is skalter specifically desired for one of her talents or skills? or do other bards work too

[verbal lynx]

Just using her for Mastery skills

[raven ermine]

She's just what i had raised
But her atk inspiration is the highest with s2 anyway, it has no downtime

Also bards are good for dronecasters

[neat acorn]

What’s the 5* chance of recruitment

[short steppe]

Should I build BlazeAlter

[raven ermine]

No lol, we're joking around

[pale tapir]

ah I see
all I have is theresa
blazeter was cooked on release

[frigid stream]

yeah her s3 for global range is good.

[short steppe]

Does she not get better via module?

[raven ermine]

Please i beg, don't raise blaze2 because of what i just said
Especially not her module

[verbal lynx]

i have plenty of 6 stars still sitting idk who to prio tho ngl

[pale tapir]

her module is mid as hell ngl

[undone portal]

blazealt mod doesnt fix the fundamental issue that she basically requires yus presence to be competitive

[frigid stream]

send krooster ig

[pale tapir]

and even then you could just use a better caster/arts dps in general

[raven ermine]

It's just good for the schizo blaze looking at a wall strat because it's raising her atk and burn proc damage

[undone portal]

her mod is a very boring 'more stats' upgrade. good modules tend to package in something better

[frigid stream]

and we just had a discussion about synergy's being flawed

[verbal lynx]

https://krooster.com/u/mars

[reef sparrow]

apparently, I am not

[short steppe]

So she requires Yu to be effective; damn

[pale tapir]

insert blaze wheelchair meme

[raven ermine]

You need the entire team centered around burn
And it's jailed to gen content anyway

[undone portal]

even on a burnslop team blazealt is relegated to being the bosskiller on a team where lappalt is doing 90% of the work

[frigid stream]

lemuen wheelchair diff

[pale tapir]

real
lemuen facing wall is a more viable strat

[frigid stream]

tragodia. level up your tragodia to mod 2 lvl 88 or mod 3 lvl 82

[raven ermine]

The boss killer is vivi, fake burn user

[short steppe]

First they refuse to give Blaze her beach skin- then she is scammed out of her Live2D skin- then she is given a mid alter- and then scammed out of another Live2D skin . . .

My favourite lane-holder is having it rough rip

[neat acorn]

[verbal lynx]

consider it done, anything else?

[short steppe]

im joking of course lol

[undone portal]

so true. blazealt is the burnslop elite killer

[raven ermine]

^
Elites don't stand a chance

[reef sparrow]

so yu lapp2 and blaze2 the core?

[undone portal]

maybe the real elite killer was the potlids we adopted along the way

[sleek finch]

so call boss killer when vivi cant kill boss

[raven ermine]

Hey she does kill boss 🥹

[undone portal]

still upset alanna/warmys kits have no place being on the same team

[pale tapir]

• skalter or other bard to sustain + buff blaze so she doesn't kill herself
  you can see how inefficient it's getting already

[frigid stream]

mod 1 your exu2, mod 3 your mylanar, mod 2 your sakiko. do that after you level up tragodia though. finish your sakiko and logos mastery.

[reef sparrow]

I mean, I don't really have anything to raise aside from pram2 if I manage to get here so might as well try this hellfire niche

[cinder stag]

does ines's shadow thing maintain the invisibility review even after they got through the tile or does the enemy need to be constantly on the tile to be revealed?

[pale tapir]

must be inside her reveal zone
"enemies within attack range lose invisibility"

[cinder stag]

but the movement speed reduce stays, right?

[undone portal]

invis reveal is generally a zone based effect. enemy leaves the zone, they get their invis back
mvspd reduction is also cleansed once they leave

[cinder stag]

huh, whats the point of the shadow at all then?

[pale tapir]

to... reveal enemies?

[cinder stag]

but whats the point if the enemy has to stay in the zone

[undone portal]

because marking 3 tiles for invis reveal + mvspd down without taking up a deployment slot is good?

[reef sparrow]

so that you don't need Ines standing in that tile to reveal enemies

[cinder stag]

how is it 3 tiles, isnt it just one for the shadow

[pale tapir]

if you need them to stay there use a blocker or something bruh

[undone portal]

the shadow has default agent range

[reef sparrow]

maybe you got defective Ines

[cinder stag]

ohhh, i didnt know that
alr, thanks! that makes more sense

[pale tapir]

every ground op has 1 tile invis reveal if you think about it

[undone portal]

what about ambushers :realmad:

[glass gate]

whats the best possible tags here?

[raven ermine]

Me when can't block

[pale tapir]

ah shit you're right

[reef sparrow]

nian S3

[reef sparrow]

going blind, I would go top casters

[undone portal]

but you can grant ambushers more block and liberators can cash in their block count onskill so you are technically right

[bright gulch]

use an arknights recruitment calculator like aceship to see what the tags get you

[raven ermine]

Yep top caster here

[undone portal]

gamble caster, hope for ceobe

[reef sparrow]

better get those niche casters in pool before carnelian pollutes it

[short steppe]

Who is ready for ANOTHER top op Roll-

Whats the best option here

[bright gulch]

i got this message for 9-2, what does this mean? i looked it up and found people talking about adjustable difficulty, but i don't see any way to change the difficulty of this stage, it just looks like practice/normal/CM same as every other stage

[pale tapir]

top slow for suzu gamba? or medic for ng gamba

[raven ermine]

TO slow for suzu
TO medic for ng
Leaning suzu over ng

[undone portal]

difficulty setting is in bottom left, where 'standard environment' is written

[short meteor]

Is it worth leveling Sakiko’s module to level 3 or is level 2 fine?

[short steppe]

I already have both

[raven ermine]

Pots/certs are good

[short steppe]

Fair-

[bright gulch]

oh i see it now, thank you!

[pale tapir]

if you just want collection you can yolo too
or do survival for smaller yolo pool
but certs better than useless op imo

[verbal lynx]

Logos done, what to mastery for sakiko btw?

[signal dragon]

s3m3

[frigid stream]

s3m3

[undone portal]

calc the odds based on who you have and yolo whatever gets you the best chance at someone new :real:

[verbal lynx]

Aight tnx noted

[short steppe]

What if I try and do the 25% chance of getting a blaze pot

[winter bison]

Hello!
What are those and which should I get of the two?

[frigid stream]

no

[pale tapir]

gives you those ops to use, kirara is good when you're just starting out
we also have a thread for RM specifically in pins

[short steppe]

Wait- with slow I can also get another Magallan

That would be tragic

[raven ermine]

Magallan is good, just niche and hard to use

But +10 certs is a good thing anyway, so

[rocky pilot]

10 gold certs is better than nothing in the end

[short steppe]

With Healing I can get:

• Nightingale pot
• Saria pot
• Shining

[raven ermine]

Shining is shit, saria pot doesn't matter, ng pot is decent

[fathom nest]

Suzu pot for boosted fragile

[silver smelt]

just go certs

[short steppe]

Ill need to build my Suzu then

[fathom nest]

She needs pot5 iirc

[raven ermine]

I would definitely go TO slow there
Suzu pots are good and you're guaranteed certs if no crossed tag

[short steppe]

Lemme check what pot my nightingale is rq

If I get Nightingale- I would have a pot 3

[pine plover]

pot 3 most of the time is -4s redeployment time

[short steppe]

which it is for that op; prob not worth it

[pine plover]

sometimes it's talent upgrade

[raven ermine]

Yep it is
Pot4/5 on ng are decent
But you'd be putting shining 1/3 in the mix there

[short steppe]

I could shrink it to a 50/50 with the Medic tag

[raven ermine]

Well then it's a shining 1/2, it's worse

[short steppe]

indeed

[short steppe]

Well- I've got the Nine-tailed goober again

[raven ermine]

You won

[graceful crescent]

How do I consistently beat the jellyfish boss in is3? The explosion is even one shotting my guards and the jellyfish spawns are tanky as hell

[formal shadow]

push it down the hole

[pine plover]

push it down the hole

[spice gust]

is there any way to get the materials for Hoshialter e2? maybe some future events or something, because i don't think i'll be able to clear 15-9 yet lol

[raven ermine]

Ch15 is not very hard
You gain t5 pyramids as rewards here and there, there's some in IS6 reward tracks, idr if there are any in RM

[lyric lagoon]

rm is just full of polymerization preps (there's like 18 of them 😭 )

[spice gust]

no it's because i don't want to cut chase and just do chapter 15, i just begin chapter 5

[formal shadow]

skip lore and come back later

[raven ermine]

You could come back to it/read the story with an online reader later
Outside of that, you'll have to rely on getting the t5 directly because the recipe is locked

[lyric lagoon]

you're gonna need to skip story for chapter 16 event shop anyways

[spice gust]

why's that?

[lyric lagoon]

cause it's chapter 16's specific event shop

[fathom hawk]

what’s best base setup

like building levels for 252? 😭

[raven ermine]

As in, facilities or operators ?

[cyan venture]

do i need to clear chapter 15 to access chapter 16 event?

[delicate grail]

Which module is better for Ascalon?

[winter bison]

Ah alright thanks alot!

[raven ermine]

Depend on how much you raised your right side
But just unlock everything, max your training room, put your dorms lv1, tp lv3 and factories lv3 if you can, and lv2 for those you can't upgrade

[pale tapir]

x, lv1 fine

[fathom hawk]

max but i alr demolished my left side hella so should i do that on the right too

[raven ermine]

You can't, so

[fathom hawk]

oh wtf 😭💔

rip oke tysm then lol 🙏🙏

alsooo is 2 gold 3 frontline card things best

[lyric lagoon]

you switch depending on if you need (more) gold at the time or not

[raven ermine]

Get 3 gold facs for now, and you'll switch to exp later if you can sustain your gold consumption

[fathom hawk]

got it 🫡🙏

[spice gust]

which is the best way to farm LMD?

i believe the sheets only talks about the mats, if not i'm sorry

[cyan venture]

how do you connect your account to krooster?

[pale tapir]

press import button log in

[pale tapir]

base

[raven ermine]

LMD farming stage is very bad efficiency wise
The best way is building your base/workers correctly and having a good passive income
If you need more, especially early on, you can play IS/cheese RA
But avoid farming lmd/exp from supply stages

[spice gust]

what's IS and RA?

[raven ermine]

IS is integrated strategies, a roguelike that you unlock when you clear 3-8 (iirc)
RA is reclamation algorithm, you unlock it when you clear 3-8 too
There is a way to farm it really quickly in roadless in pins if you want

[neon siren]

Clear 3-8 tho

[ancient lake]

Should i just pick supporter or go top tag solo

[raven ermine]

Either supporter or caster

[jovial urchin]

Chat, what is the name of SA2 event?

[lyric lagoon]

retracing our steps (just use wiki next time)

[neon siren]

Retracing our steps?

[jovial urchin]

[iron ridge]

I've already got a copy of ifrit... is getting a potential on her the best option or do I go for phantom? I assume that a /5 shot at getting a good defender isn't the play

[raven ermine]

I would get ifrit pot/certs

[iron ridge]

anyone willing to offer a second opinion on that one?

[neon siren]

Ig id personally go for a new operator

Although the extra certs is good and tempting,

You can go both ways, it's ur preference rlly

[severe crypt]

Guaranteed ifrit

[neon siren]

He has ifrit tho

[lyric lagoon]

10 certs is 10 certs, those new ops are meh at best, even phantom with is mod

[raven ermine]

And ? A bad operator won't achieve anything for you
Certs are good, and ifrit pots are too

[neon siren]

[neon siren]

Hmm alr

[iron ridge]

Ok, I'll go with the majority. Ifrit pot and certs it is. Thanks for offering your input everyone, it seems like there wasn't a bad answer either way.

[raven ermine]

You want p3 on ifrit, which isn't very far, and ifrit has a guaranteed tag

[ebon plaza]

what's the best move here?

lowkey feel like doing the bagpipe 1/3

[raven ermine]

TO crowd control for weedy ceobe

[pale tapir]

I would CC hope for ceoballs or weedy
why do you want bagpipe

[ebon plaza]

i quit last time because i couldn't get her, but honestly idrc that much anymore

[pale tapir]

you'll quit again if you do that and get s*ege

[ebon plaza]

so true

[pale tapir]

also they literally handed out a voucher with bag on it if you really really wanted her
she was the worst option on it ofc

[ebon plaza]

top op and senior op in the same recruitment but i really just wanted that vanguard + cc for texas aurghhhhh

[lyric lagoon]

why texas 😭

[ebon plaza]

okay top op+cc istg if this cancels on me

[spark matrix]

https://www.krooster.com/u/ironchamp anyone else i should build? my training room is completely empty and it scares me. mastery reccomendations would be cool but op building reccomendations are also appreciated

[lyric lagoon]

it’s okay, you’ll get ceobe/weedy/ifrit anyways

[ebon plaza]

damn no red tickets now i gotta wait 9 hours

[raven ermine]

there's no ifrit in cc

[indigo lark]

I wonder if I should still skip this? As a new player, can I not farm enough of the one time rewards to pity silverash banner?

This is my roster rn

[neon siren]

Check the credit store, or wait like 6 more hrs

[lyric lagoon]

they said if tag cancels

[pale tapir]

you have like 50 pulls + another 40 from certs at best honestly I'd save
no idea how much content you have left but even then you'd still want pulls later for wang/ch3n

[neon siren]

You don't have enough pulls, and silver ash alter is close, so just skip.
It's not a bad banner just lower priority

[bright lake]

yo i got a quick quesh

[lyric lagoon]

just ask, you don’t have to state that you have a question

[indigo lark]

I didn't grind anything in the game yet. Only done till chapter 4 of main story. Haven't even touched the challenge modes. You think it's still a bad idea?

[bright lake]

in how much time does ch16 drop

[lyric lagoon]

just do it whenever you want as long as you don’t have anything else alarming you need to do

[raven ermine]

You can pull until the first 6*
But you'll have to grind story for pull currency before sa2
We still have a lot of free time for that tho, so it's relatively safe to pull

[bright lake]

dont hit me w da pin. pls just tell me i hate reading

[neon siren]

The banner ends tmr, if ur gonna pull, pull till first 6star.

U have like a month to grind story and side story or anihilation first clears for pulls then

[indigo lark]

Okay. Then I'll just pull untill the first 6 star. Soft pity is 60 right?

[spark matrix]

we cant tell you since we dont know your timezone (its set to my timezone for me)

[raven ermine]

starts at 50, but you can expect it to hit around 60-70 yeah

[neon siren]

No, like literally

It's at the top of the pins man, just click the pins and it's the first thing you see

[bright lake]

i said no

[spark matrix]

im going to kill you

[bright lake]

i-i-in g-games r-right..?

[indigo lark]

Alright. Wish me luck, also I select logos, mon3tr. Who's the third pick?

[spark matrix]

read. pins.

[raven ermine]

ascalon

[neon siren]

Ascalon

[spark matrix]

do you have ascalon? the purple one

[cinder stag]

Are any of these worth leveling for a relatively developed acc?

[bright lake]

hey rate up 4* is what like 50%?

[indigo lark]

Oh. She's similar Umiri?

[neon siren]

That idk
-# just wait someone else will prolly ans

[raven ermine]

weedy, mosti
Entel when her new mod drop
Swirealt for IS, but she's somewhat offmeta

[pale tapir]

ascalon primarily slows and can clean up groups of trash mobs quite effectively with her dmg and dot
she's also great for hitcount situations like ethan

[indigo lark]

No, this is what I have https://krooster.com/u/nagito_komaeda_8274

[indigo lark]

Oh, that's kinda what I've been using umiri for

[spark matrix]

then you should get ascalon- holy shit nagito komaeda???

[indigo lark]

It is indeed 🤲

[cinder stag]

what are each of these for btw?
well, outside of swirealt since u said what shes for (but which is ig)

[neon siren]

Then yea ig, go get ur 6 star buddy.
Either one of the three will be helpful for you

[spark matrix]

easily readable somewhere

[indigo lark]

Who for here? Definitely proviso right?

[neon siren]

Yea

[spark matrix]

i guess rock rock tippi? dont build them tho (maybe fang for factory)

[hidden wolf]

Does mantra banner pity carry over to sa2 banner?

[neon siren]

Nooo

[indigo lark]

I do be needing more base slaves. So rock rock, fang?

[raven ermine]

Weedy is niche but in a good way, versatile unit for high end, quite irreplaceable when you really need her
Mostima is even more niche, but has global slow with her module, and can be useful here and there in CCs/RAcc

Entel is a good IS6 draft, and decent in general content

[stray gust]

mantra banner is standard, while sash alter banner is limited, and limited banner also don't carry over pity to next limited.

[cinder stag]

i c, thanks!

[hidden wolf]

Limited = event banner?

[raven ermine]

proviso, rockrock, whoever you want for last slot
Rockrock is decent to use if you don't have a caster raised yet

[hidden wolf]

With shop and stages?

[spark matrix]

i dont look at my base. sorry. (also sure)

[severe crypt]

[neon siren]

[lyric lagoon]

not all events are limiteds, but all limiteds are events

[raven ermine]

Ig almond if you want base workers
But she's a 25%gold with a downside, it's quite shit

[coarse raptor]

Is ||Civilight Eterna|| worth using?

[turbid ocean]

u dont need to spoiler
no shes mid

[coarse raptor]

I put the spoilers mostly out of respect to whoever hasn't finished chap 14
Sad, but thanks

[lyric lagoon]

they won’t even know who/what that is

[indigo lark]

Pray. Let's go pull on the banner :)

[neon siren]

Good luck 🍀

[proven kelp]

Kal is dead

[neon siren]

Yay!
-# everyone but me getting monst3r tho

[indigo lark]

Alright. Thanks everyone that blessed me!

Now I hard save till SA2?

[neon siren]

Yes, don't pull on anything till then

[indigo lark]

Alrighty

[glossy schooner]

Congrats you stole my ten pull!

Genuienly I got the same combo of Provi monter in my pulls

[indigo lark]

Lmfao I'm expecting a hard pity on SA2

That's how my luck works 🤲

[raven ermine]

Hopefully not, the hard pity is 300

[coarse raptor]

Dear god i miss read that SO badly

[indigo lark]

Fun acronym right?

[coarse raptor]

Gorgeous, one of a kind

[karmic flax]

I’m returning to the game after a long break since 2020. Could someone explain the differences between SilverAsh and Mlynar? Their S3s feel pretty similar to me. If I already have SilverAsh, can he replace Mlynar?

[coarse notch]

mlynar is functionally better in virtually all regards, higher damage, faster cycle, tankier, taunt offskill
sash absolutely cannot replace mlynar

[sleek finch]

ok imagine SA, that deal twice the dmg twice as often

[pine plover]

just show the damage graph

[pine plover]

[sleek finch]

this is before accounting uptime

[raven ermine]

Poor sash 😔

[pine plover]

silverash tech is redeploying him is faster downtime than waiting for SP to fill up

[coarse notch]

also yea goddamn ngl i thought it'd be closer after sash module but its still fucked

[karmic flax]

Thanks for the breakdown! Since I don't have Mlynar, do you think it's still worth E2 Sash? Or should I save my resources for someone else?

[coarse notch]

depends on the rest of your roster, if you're lacking damage sash will work for you
its just that hes not gonna be a mlynar replacement

[karmic flax]

Got it! Can I post my squad screenshot here? I'm not at home right now so I can't upload my data to Krooster. Sorry about that, I only have the squad photos on my phone for now

[pale tapir]

sure if that's the only way u have available rn

[karmic flax]

Here’s my current squad. I just came back to the game about 1.5 months ago. I'm currently saving up 300 pulls for the upcoming SilverAsh2 banner, so my 6 star roster is a bit limited right now

[bright lake]

ok gun to ur head, between Aosta, Aroma, Figurino, Provence, which would you build first? (and dont say just shoot me)

[coarse notch]

aosta

[raven ermine]

Aroma for base, easy

[bright lake]

not for base*

[raven ermine]

Shoot me then

[pale tapir]

what are you using said 300 pulls for

[shadow bay]

take a shotgun and shoot urself with that instead

my senses say provence

[bright lake]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm okay

[coarse notch]

sash is still kinda useful here

[pale tapir]

sash could easily replace texas

[shadow bay]

yeh the team lacks oomph in terms of dmg

so lacking that sakiko floats in the current team

[coarse notch]

things are grim when raidian is still in the squad outside of IS

also legally mandated to say that 300 pulls on sash2 is not a good idea

[fathom nest]

[coarse notch]

hi soc

[karmic flax]

I'm planning to spark Wisadel. Is she really worth the 300 pulls? I heard she's incredibly broken, so I want to make sure before committing

[native cargo]

Ascalon mod x or y

[coarse notch]

modx1

[shadow bay]

nop

[coarse notch]

no one is really worth the 300 pulls

[shadow bay]

way too much pulls for a single unit

she is indeed good though on vacuum

[pale tapir]

no
I sparked wis for waifu reasons
definitely not worth 300

[fathom nest]

Whoever told you that is trying to make you waste a lot of pulls

[coarse notch]

you go for the spark if you got incredibly unlucky and had to pull to 250+ for the banner characters
its a consolation prize not a goal

[hoary ruin]

300 pulls will be most/all of your free pulls for a while is the main issue. I dunno even realistically how long.

Even if you have story to do, each story chapter is like 40(?) OP which converts to 7200 origundum or 12 pulls.

[fathom nest]

Once you dump you're pretty much going to need to skip the next couple banners to save up for a decent chance on anything else upcoming

Then you'll be in the hole forever, never having any backup pulls

Unless you skip more, of course

[karmic flax]

I don't mind spending about $50-$60 a month on my hobbies. I usually get the Monthly Card, the monthly x20 headhunting packs, and other special packs. With that in mind, is sparking Wisadel still a bad move, or is it a solid investment for someone with my budget?

[hoary ruin]

mmhmm. You'd realistically be giving up the chance to get Wang, who is essentally 2026's Wis in terms of broken.

[fathom nest]

It's still not recommended, but you're in much less of a tight spot

[hoary ruin]

and you'll have a MUCH better shot at getting him than Wis

[fathom nest]

Wis is good, but she's not going to make the game clear itself if you have her. You'll still need to think at least a little

[pale tapir]

I also wouldn't call wis an investment considering she will only get powercrept with time

[hidden wolf]

When is he coming

[fathom nest]

CNY banners are typically near August but can change

[hidden wolf]

So 4 months from sa2

[hoary ruin]

Limited banner AFTER Sash2. So.....around 4-5ish months.

[karmic flax]

Actually, I'm a huge fan of Shu! she's the reason I started playing this game! So I'm definitely going to do 300 pulls for the Wang banner as well. My budget allows me to go for both Wisadel and Wang, so I'm not too worried about skipping one for the other. I just want to have enough units to enjoy the game comfortably

[fathom nest]

Spreading out your pulls is better if you're wanting a variety, then

[karmic flax]

Thanks for the sincere advice, I really appreciate it! are there any other upcoming banners I should keep an eye on?

[stray gust]

you only dump for the 300 spark either if you are super unlucky or you want pots

[fathom nest]

Mantra is okay. Nasti has an interesting kit but isn't necessarily "strong"

[hoary ruin]

What I would do is earn as many free pulls as I can between now and SA2's banner and see what I get off that. Then run the numbers on how many more pulls it would take to spark Wis, if I haven't gotten spooked.

I wanted Ejyaberry off Hoshi2's banner but I'd have needed another 100+ pulls....which was more money than I wanted to spend for one character, favorite or not.

[fathom nest]

Still undecided on Bologna?

[proven kelp]

Will type it later
Basically just nice to have until they announce upcoming bannerss

[fathom nest]

Think he's a skip tbh
Single target, high potential to kill himself

[proven kelp]

i don't think he will kill himself that often, every dash will refresh his 80% dodge so i think he's alive pretty often
Tho range is still ass

[slim tusk]

b-but premium shamare

[median fable]

b-but he's italian

[fathom nest]

Oh the dodge refreshes? That changes things a bit ig
Still that chance he just gets absolutely annihilated. Can never rely on dodge, just like with FT

[sleek finch]

maybe fighter is a lost cause

[fathom nest]

Until they make the archetype not matter

[proven kelp]

Until they stop making 6* mael fighters

[astral thorn]

how often does crownslayer event appear? Or was it one and done?

[pine plover]

it never did matter

[nimble kite]

It's LappyAlter event. Rerun should come this Spring.

[proven kelp]

Crownslayer was a Normal Event, so it will rerun when Lappalter event rerun, then get added to Side Story in the future

[fathom nest]

And no Lappland won't rerun with it

[astral thorn]

Is lappalter welfare or premium?

[fathom nest]

Limited

[astral thorn]

Ahh k thx

[pine plover]

aka banner dont rerun

[fathom nest]

Can smell those questions from 13 miles away

[nimble kite]

You can spark her on SilverAlter event tho.

[fathom nest]

But don't

[slender temple]

Just be good and spook her

[sleek finch]

if you are an actual good player, you wouldnt even use her in the first place

[nimble kite]

Just don't meet her because sloppy global caster.

[karmic flax]

Thanks a lot for the detailed advice, everyone! I have a much clearer plan for my pulls now. Good luck with your own rolls, see you around!

[pine plover]

[bright lake]

what are the lore-operators involved in Ch16?

aside from Monster, Crownslayer, Rosa, Ely, Amiya, Raidian, Kal, Absinthe, Warfie, Mantra?

am i missing anybody else?

[lyric lagoon]

#ak-lore will prob know more

[bright lake]

i asked in there too, but alot of the time my question gets passed up lol

[pine plover]

not everyone is terminally online

[bright lake]

all goods, if anybody enjoys lore and knows, pls lmk

[quartz imp]

I still have the eyjafyalla/bagpipe/surtr/saria selector from the anniversary, who should I use it on? Right now I'm leaning toward eyjafjalla since I don't have any good casters yet, but that feels kinda bad since she's kind of powercrept by logos, so I'm also considering bagpipe.
https://www.krooster.com/u/neonv01d

[split sphinx]

Flip a coin, surtr vs eyja

[sleek finch]

at some point you can also consider holding the ticket since you likely dont need them anyway

[urban sleet]

Whatever you do don't choose bagpipe, she's dead

[quartz imp]

why is bagpipe bad now?

[pine plover]

agent vanguard existing

[pale tapir]

she also has nothing going for her but stats really
ines for example is cheap, permanent, deployment slot-free invis reveal even if all you do is put her down then retreat immediately

[lyric lagoon]

• bad dp gen since she needs to kill enemies to gen dp
• agents are inherently better than flags -> agents don’t need more starting sp

[quartz imp]

i see

[raven ermine]

Imagine removing a full team slot for your vanguard to gain 6sp
Thats bagpipe

[rain forge]

The eyja selection is worse than surtr imo cause like

we have pram2 coming soon

[pale scaffold]

hold it until pram2 then

[lyric lagoon]

or just hold it forever, they have more pressing issues to build

[split sphinx]

Longer you hold year1 selector, the more useless it becomes

[lyric lagoon]

emergency certs

[quartz imp]

will probably end up going with eyja because i like the sanrio skin
but i was planning on pulling a lot on the upcoming limited banner anyways so i'll hold on to it at least until then

[elder coyote]

what does new raidian mod used for?

[pine plover]

s2 and s3?

[rain forge]

[pine plover]

[raw tundra]

sooo
how's mantra? is she decent?

[hoary ruin]

As much as I like Ejya, there are better sources of arts damage these days : /

[rain forge]

She’s decent but silverash alter is higher prio

[raw tundra]

what does mantra do?

[pine plover]

causing brain damage

[rain forge]

inflicts NI and stuff

[raw tundra]

hmmm

[pale scaffold]

she plays pinball

[hoary ruin]

It's too bad Ejya isn't on the beginner banner or selector. Her and SA still put in work for new acc.

[urban sleet]

Mantrs's beeg dmg is bounce-dependent asw apparently

[lyric lagoon]

damage nuke, paralysis, invis reveal on s3

[raw tundra]

sounds fun! im in

[rain forge]

Pram2 turns the blue box into a 3 block defender that can heal itself

[pale scaffold]

sounds fun

[urban sleet]

And sa2 is todo from jjk

[raw tundra]

sounds fun indeed

[hoary ruin]

Doesn't Pram2 also have crazy large range too?

[pale scaffold]

phalanx caster range yuh

[rain forge]

Wouldn’t say crazy large but it’s a decently large range ya

[raw tundra]

we expecting Kjerag event after new chapter?

[pale scaffold]

of course it's also true aoe

[lyric lagoon]

just a bonus from being a phalanx

[urban sleet]

CN had icebreaker game between ch16 snd sa2 event, global can be 1 event before/after

[hoary ruin]

You'd have to be crazy to skip SA2 banner tbh. Pram2 comfy for gen content and SA2's got a weird and interesting kit. Something for everyone imo.

[raw tundra]

I can grab both banners im sure

[pale scaffold]

how long can an operator stay on active originium tile until they die

[lyric lagoon]

not to mention the limited banner off-rate pool (while unlikely you get who you want) is pretty stacked

[pine plover]

there is also stronghold protocol alliance

[raw tundra]

oh, new autochess?

[pine plover]

with coop

[raw tundra]

with coop? holy moly
sounds fun, im in

[reef sparrow]

prepare your aak no pls dont

[urban sleet]

How many pulls do you have

[pine plover]

it uses preset teams

[hoary ruin]

I dunno what your resources look like, but I'd still stop at first 6* on Mantra's banner if you MUST pull for her.

[raw tundra]

700~ doesnt count tbh

[urban sleet]

I bought aak skin in 2021 flr this

[pale scaffold]

truely jessica's bank account

[pine plover]

stronghold protocol uses preset teams

[hoary ruin]

o.o

How long have you been saving lol

[raw tundra]

im playing like 5y and donate a lot

[pale scaffold]

whaling i see

[lyric lagoon]

honestly more fun that way

[hoary ruin]

mmm...well yeah you can definately get both lol

[reef sparrow]

how about the regular coop, did it come back?

[pine plover]

later

[native cargo]

What elemental dmge nymph hve

[lyric lagoon]

necrosis

[pale scaffold]

Ne

[rain forge]

is necrass just off-meta or is she just mid

[raw tundra]

shes amazing at what shes doing

[nimble kite]

Mid from the start.

[lyric lagoon]

just mid

[rain forge]

[hoary ruin]

Same issue as other summoners right?

[stark gulch]

does abnormal spectrum have any good farming stages

[lyric lagoon]

nah, she’s just honestly mid

[nimble kite]

Which one?

[rain forge]

She’s a caster iirc

[pale scaffold]

worse, she's a shaper caster

[lyric lagoon]

she’s not bad, but she’s not good
