[polar hollow]

whys nots? it was used in that one chapter 15 boss fight :D

[wanton meadow]

If you wanna use a def shredder I'd rather you use meteor before ifrit

Use an actual def shredder

[raven ermine]

It was used or you used it ?
Used for what ?
If you need def shred we have better ops, for cheaper, both investment wise, dp cost wise, easier to use, and better def shred

[abstract mauve]

rechord isnt the only one you have to be worried about

[polar hollow]

while we're on this topic btw is shamare worth raising in the big 26?

[left tulip]

Is either of these two worth it

[abstract mauve]

base and honestly quite high uptime atk and defense reduction that's still relevant

[raven ermine]

See, she's the def shredder, not ifrit
Ifrit shred res

[polar hollow]

wowow

[ancient lintel]

Uh for base ye

[left tulip]

I see, going aoe slow then, which one am I hoping for?

[ancient lintel]

Grey has pp boost and shirazuki has battle record base skills me thinks

[light latch]

Do the IS potential tokens give certs

[ancient lintel]

We wish XD

[raven ermine]

Pretty sure they don't

[light latch]

Shame

[wanton meadow]

You want both sooner or later, 30% exp worker and 20% pp worker

[ancient lintel]

Shirazuki requires e1 iirc

[raven ermine]

Yes, and greyy has it's skill at e0
Shira is still better for early bases

[wanton meadow]

2 pp is easier to fill than 5 fac

[grizzled galleon]

NOOOOO I WAS TWO MÉCHAS AWAY

[severe crypt]

…is this a question orrr

[sudden bramble]

is there any IS character that u can actually use?

even raidian is too niche

[grizzled galleon]

How do I kill the last two mechas

[severe crypt]

On what stage

[grizzled galleon]

16-16

[severe crypt]

Ain’t that the boss stage

[raven ermine]

Raidian
And uh
That's it 🥹
Tin man is good if you're bad at thoughts management, and have a relatively bad specialist pool

If you mean outside of IS, nope

[grizzled galleon]

Ye I killed the boss but all my opps
died with 2 mobs left

[severe crypt]

Try seeing if anyone in #strategy can help

[left tulip]

Is it worth rolling defender just in the hope of getting cuora

[wanton meadow]

I have a friend who plays spec knights who screamed when he saw tin man cos he finally has a healer that isn't jaye or aak

[raven ermine]

If you don't have 4* guaranteed, sure

[left tulip]

Should I reroll if I don’t

[severe crypt]

Cuz I simply just threw all my best ops at the boss stage and that’s not helping you

[raven ermine]

Yep, your goal in recruitment is getting 4* for yellow certs

[left tulip]

Cuz I rly want cuora but it’s impossible to get her through guaranteed 4 star means is it

[raven ermine]

You can't yeah
But you'll get a lot of recruitments without 4* guaranteed, so wait for those to select defense/defender

[grizzled galleon]

@winter crystal I got krooster to work but do I use import or input manually

[left tulip]

I got garbage regardless

[royal swan]

Use the import function

[grizzled galleon]

Ok

[wanton meadow]

Make sure to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

[inland osprey]

anyone could help me prepare a strategy for dealing with H16-1 , considering all my ops are severly outdated(im talking 3 years old) and no module on almost any of them (yeah i got off when module is not a thing yet)

[wanton meadow]

Very important for your account safety

[grizzled galleon]

What is depot

[wanton meadow]

Bagpack

Inventory

[severe crypt]

The place where you buy wood and tools and shit

[grizzled galleon]

Oh yea

Wait did I read it right that if I linked my account to apple email I can still import without the bug?

[robust pond]

got a new phone. My old phone struggled at low graphics on story stage 15. Now it's running smoothly on max graphics. What graphics settling is good? Is the effects difference that big. I don't see the difference between low and max.

[severe crypt]

Just put it at max everything with battery saver on

[robust pond]

Oka

[neat mirage]

if i wait for the ch16 event to finish do i miss out on any rewards by doing it afterwards?
like do the missions disappear or anything?

[robust pond]

I think the shop disappears.

[severe crypt]

The only thing that goes is shop and shop currency that’s it

[neat mirage]

ah real

[inland osprey]

aight imma just skip these H stages , aint no way my boomer ops gon clear it

[severe crypt]

I mean I also haven’t done ch15 h stages but that’s cuz I’m lazy and not due to bad ops

[inland osprey]

been trying h16-1 like hours with many videos guide , and they still clapped my cheeks

[robust pond]

My phone is running arknight a bit weirdly. I haven't downloaded discord on my new phone yet. So I can't sent screenshot. Basically... It has weird gray bars on both sides of the screen . No clue how I'm gonna explain it. My new phone is currently downloading PGR. anyone else has this issue.

[severe crypt]

Grey bars, there’s a setting to move them

[winter crystal]

Import and follow the instructions to put into your email and type in code after done correctly everything should be imported please do not manually add your ops

[robust pond]

Where? I want full screen glory

[severe crypt]

It’s a slider but I forgot the exact name of it in settings

[robust pond]

In game setting? Or is it outside.

[fathom nest]

UI adaptation, in the game settings

[severe crypt]

Thanks soc

[robust pond]

Thanks bro

I can finally enjoy my sakiko in 60 FPS glory.

[short steppe]

[robust pond]

btw how long till silver ash banner. The new banner with Lemuen is tempting me really hard.

[fathom nest]

At some point after Icebreaker if we follow the usual banner schedule

[robust pond]

The voices are speaking in my head. They are telling me to pull.

I know I'd be stupid going for Lemuen with a 25% chance.

[severe crypt]

Don’t you have a denia banner to worry about

[glossy schooner]

Lemuen can just spook you during Sashter, so wait for it, I swear it’ll be worth it

[severe crypt]

Actually, offrate hool

[robust pond]

I play over 10 Gacha. I just don't have Denia to worry about.

[tulip inlet]

Is the Footprint rewards from Ch16 permanently available?

[severe crypt]

Anything that’s related to the shop and shop currency is limited time, anything else is perma

[fathom nest]

Some of the Footprint missions should stay. They did for chapter 15

[robust pond]

[thorn token]

So eh maybe dumb question, but do you guys think I coulde reach and succed stage 11-15 (for Mlynar module) with my current team? Ofcourse it's planned to get Saria (will have her module in a day) and Suzuran to lvl 60 and to E2 Proviso. I'm currently stage 6-6 / 9-3 and am just unsure if my current team fits the pwr (https://www.krooster.com/u/makito) thats required...

[fathom nest]

Why is Proviso in your team?

[robust pond]

Bro actually E2 almost everyone. I barely E2 anyone outside my dps. No wonder I'm struggling.

[winter crystal]

Holy flash bang

[severe crypt]

Also wtf is that contrast

[thorn token]

literally lowest brightness

[robust pond]

Does khoot ever open her eyes.

[raven ermine]

Proviso e2 isn't for combat
Mlynar mod3 and sash mod3 are both more important than saria/suzu

[robust pond]

[humble nova]

whys this so bright

[wraith shoal]

saki mod2

[winter crystal]

Literally screen shot it next time 🥀

[thorn token]

yea I know the whole point is that I want to reach the requirement for Mlynar

[short steppe]

Are you perhaps- a moth?

[hoary ruin]

Which site was it that let you search for OPs based on what mechanics they have in their kit?

[thorn token]

It is a screenshot bwo hahah its just like that when my laptop isnt connected to power🥀

[severe crypt]

tomimi.dev pretty sure

[wraith shoal]

when it's not connected it shouldn't pump out max performance though

[raven ermine]

You shouldn't have any issues
Just ditch proviso for tequila/lappland instead
Go up to mod level 2 for sakiko/surtr too

[short steppe]

What does it look like with max brightness-

[thorn token]

I know but my laptop is like 7-8 years old

[silent flare]

Do we get the ambience skins at the sane time as cn or as usual 6 months after

[thorn token]

it would be healthier to watch directly in the sun for 8 hours straight

[severe crypt]

Pretty sure 6 months later

[spice nexus]

How do I kill Patriot in this Holographic thing?

[fathom nest]

Lower his health to 0

[thorn token]

btw why is everyone saying ditch Proviso? like a week ago everyone who I asked glazed her heavily

[fathom nest]

She's used in base only

[raven ermine]

Because she's very good
But for base

[white ruin]

Mantra worth getting or nah?

[ancient lintel]

She's a worker, not a combatant

[fathom nest]

Check pins

[thorn token]

ahh

[lyric lagoon]

she is built for base and the race tracks

[thorn token]

well thx guys

[white ruin]

thanks

[ancient lintel]

She does the moni laundering for your organization of war criminals

[arctic cargo]

between cuora and gummy which one is a better def tank? i noticed after chapter 16 i lacked a strong def tank like hoshi so thinking of building a cope version until i get something better in future

these are all defenders i own

[lyric lagoon]

cuora is the better brick

[arctic cargo]

ok gotchya, do i need mod or anything for her?

[lyric lagoon]

all you need from this list is hoshi and saria bruh 💔 (unless ur running IS)

[thorn token]

btw what is the difference between story and standard here? I know I have to do the story stages before I do the standard ones. But can I get to episode 10 by only going through the story stages?

[arctic cargo]

both hoshi and saria couldnt tank the bear lol but i borrowed someones def defender and they could so thats why i was thinking? maybe i was just not playing it right?

[lyric lagoon]

yeah

[eager totem]

there isnt that much bear stages

[lyric lagoon]

because you need hella high def to face tank bear 💀 just because those two can’t tank the one enemy that has like 1.2k atk 16-12 and 1.5k atk h16-2 doesn’t mean you need more tanks

[buoyant sigil]

use spot

[arctic cargo]

i completely agree i was just thinking maybe i should build one since im pretty much done building my 6 stars atm and it would expand roster

[eager totem]

yeh then build cuora as the other guy said

[lyric lagoon]

you could also just borrow hoshi1 and facetank with her

[soft lion]

how do i get the Film thing for 16-18 and 16-19?

[lyric lagoon]

hoshi1 + haruka + shining deals with bear easily

[arctic cargo]

yeah i did that, but i do enjoy playing game without borrowing just to get the satisfaction my account can do it lol

[hoary ruin]

Who do we have that can function as a replacement for Shining?

I'm trying to come up with strats for H16-2's super bear and the guides I've watched call for her to be used.

I'm attempting to tank the thing with Hoshi1(S7 Mod X1) but she doesn't live long enough with just Haruka and Mont3r on her. I could build my Shining but I'd rather not build a 6* op for one stage. I have plenty of DPS (Leizi2, Sakiko, Hoshi2, Lemon, Ray).

[arctic cargo]

i figured 4 stars arent that much investment and hell can be good for IS too since i play that alot

[arctic cargo]

im not too sure if you've already done this but i learned that u have to pllace hoshi right on the square bear is to get deff buff from blocking just throwing it out there

[fathom nest]

Borrow a stronger Hoshi

[buoyant sigil]

The other option is stacking as many healers as possible and that is… I wouldn’t recommend it much

[fathom nest]

I only used Haruka and Eyja. Shining isn't needed

[hoary ruin]

Hmmm...so you'd suggest borrowing full built Hoshi 1 over Shining then?

[short steppe]

Surtr welling would be the only viable option then-

But again- not viable

[buoyant sigil]

I do remember using a therapist for the stun the bear has

[arctic cargo]

i did it with just perfumer, ptilopsis and sussuro it was enough to keep tank alive

[fathom nest]

You can borrow mine, my friend id is on my profile

[buoyant sigil]

ye
if ranged tiles are lacking you can technically use guardians too lmao 😭 (for additional healing, definitely not your main source)

[arctic cargo]

im going to add u too lol, just in case i need it was hard to find 1

[fathom nest]

Sure

Accepted you both

[hoary ruin]

Just to double check this was on H16-2 and not 16-12?

[buoyant sigil]

Not gonna lie despite the cheese aspect the bear had me running for my life

[cursive maple]

not a hard boss, just that people dont invest in bricks in 2026

[short steppe]

How difficult is the bear?-

[limpid yarrow]

cosplay ccb4 and tragodia + leizi2 + ela s1 ong

[cursive maple]

very easy

[short steppe]

Also- wym by bricks

[hoary ruin]

The most annoying thing about the bear is how you have to be sure Hoshi1's deployed on top of the thing.

[fathom nest]

High def defenders

[cursive maple]

someone tanky with high max hp and def

[limpid yarrow]

shining and hoshi1 known good units 💀

[short steppe]

Would a combination of Nian and Mudrock that are built work

[rain forge]

nian yes mudrock no

[limpid yarrow]

consider solutions that aren't just defense stacking

[nimble kite]

Mudrock has low ass DEF stat.

[rain forge]

nian should work

[quick kiln]

is m2 a good stopping point on sakiko?

[short steppe]

I shall use my Nian- but I doubt the bear will reach Nian after I nuke it with my other ops

[limpid yarrow]

m3 all the way tbh

[hoary ruin]

Imma guess the bear has enough atk that you have to have multiple healers on whoever's tanking it.

[fathom nest]

Minimum two

[fathom nest]

Didn't even bother using Shu

For H16-4

[short steppe]

Would the boss take the same amount of damage if I use Virtuosa or Logos stacking on necrosis damage much like other enemies/ bosses ?

[hoary ruin]

I wish Ejyaberry didn't ghost me on Hoshi2's banner : /

[rain forge]

Haruka is better than eyja2

[fathom nest]

Logos would deal more because he does elemental during burst effect from talent

[thorn token]

Can I see somewhere see which and when the next banners would be?

[limpid yarrow]

im not sure what i did right but he was running away from shu who kept him locked in the same few tiles for all of s3

[median fable]

necrosis dmg doesn't stack, it's fixed dmg
only thing that will happen is that Virt will boost logos elem dmg and will proc necrosis faster for him

[limpid yarrow]

potentially tech

[hoary ruin]

I'm aware, but having both would be super comfy.

Mont3r and Haruka have been plenty most of the time tho.

[short steppe]

I completely forgot Necrosis doesn't stack . . . Would it still be better to utilize that tech to help deal burst elemental damage ?

[median fable]

generally, just use Logos alone and add another dps

[limpid yarrow]

add qiubai

many are forgetting that logos/qiubai/suzu was the peak of arts dps for a while

[short steppe]

You made me remember- I gotta build my suzu still

[limpid yarrow]

400k and permastun against 3 targets

[median fable]

easy when you use 3 ops 🥹

[limpid yarrow]

i need to feel better about whiffing the 50/50 to qiubai instead of mantra 😔

[fathom nest]

IS5 ED5 Amiya aspd tech or something

[patent harbor]

do aoe units usually have a pierce cap or is it infinite? for example stuff like pram alter basic attacks after S2 has been activated. is it true aoe? how is it usually in arknights?

[coarse notch]

depends on the unit

[median fable]

it goes case by cade

[coarse notch]

if theres an actual cap that isnt the engine limitation it'll list the number of targets in the skill description

[median fable]

and I honestly don't think that it really matters

[patent harbor]

is there a way to find out? is there a google sheet with attacks mapped out or something? genuinely interesting

[coarse notch]

some archetypes like centurions and crushers hit up to their block count

[fathom nest]

Never hitting that 256 or whatever true AoE limit lol

[hoary ruin]

Recommended level and promotion for Sussurro? E1 30?

[median fable]

that's for all melee

[patent harbor]

is6 ending 5 disagrees haha

[fathom nest]

e1 40 / max is fine for her

[nimble kite]

I only remember old ass engine limitation up to 20 units per attack (Lava 3☆).

[brazen gulch]

is5, useful/no and what can he do?

[coarse notch]

dont reapers have true aoe

[median fable]

you found the perfect testing ground
be the pioneer you want us to be and let us know

[fathom nest]

Decent but annoying to use because you need to build stacks for him to do great damage

[median fable]

yeah, forgot about them

[brazen gulch]

aight i'll stick to my own devices then. not like it'll matter on d2

[coarse notch]

ed5 only swarms you on t2 anyways

t3 removes like 150 enemies

[fathom nest]

Ch'otgun is true AoE too iirc

[median fable]

doesn't the "aoe" tag in tomimi refer to all the ones with true aoe?

[coarse notch]

hes fine since hes free, just use him as bait

[nimble kite]

If only SSS Jungle was live... it loves spamming trash.

[short steppe]

Pro Y or Pro X for Nian module

[median fable]

someone there who doesn't?

[median fable]

def while blocking one lv2

[coarse notch]

def% one that upgrades her shields

is kal's true aoe her mon3tr dying

[short steppe]

So Pro X Array of Chaos

Got it

[patent harbor]

oh if only there was a way to save runs and restart from a savepoint...
is there an accessible stage with insane enemy limit that can be tested on? needs to have both ranged and ground tiles available in the dense enemy area. also ideally not the mosquitoes from shu event, those will be a pain to analyze frame by frame i think

[fathom nest]

Naran for sure. Skill even says there's a limit

[slate ridge]

Best was R6 event but thats not happening
Nowadays its either BK or Yu while waiting for Marcille rerun if ever

[patent harbor]

i am 90% certain kaltsit's monster has a pierce cap that is also not that high

[coarse notch]

doesnt naran s2 has infinite pierce, does that count as true aoe

[fathom nest]

For coding purposes I guess it would be

[coarse notch]

mon3tr's stun bomb is true aoe iirc

[fathom nest]

But by definition it isn't

[short steppe]

Just got another Top Op-

[coarse notch]

this is kinda stretching the definition of true aoe

[patent harbor]

okay yea that would make sense

[slate ridge]

Think Titi event was also a lot of enemies but thats a pain to produce

[wind blade]

well it sure is aoe

[short steppe]

Current Tags

What should I use for Top Op in Recruitment
What is the best path forward chat

[fathom nest]

Medic

[patent harbor]

btd6 has a pierce cap on virtually everything even if its 1k+ or something absurd like that, im very curious to find out how it works here

guess its not very feasible to test though

[wind blade]

the game already struggles with like 50 enemies, we're not getting that high

[coarse notch]

ak engine limits it to 256 iirc, i got no sources for that tho

[short steppe]

I already own:

• Kal'sit
• Mon3ter
• Nightengale
• Lumen
  

[fathom nest]

Solo top then

Roll the dice

[coarse notch]

aoe for ifrit/mostima or just solo topop it

[slate ridge]

You can reach 1024 enemies
After that it breaks anything after

[short steppe]

I could go for an ifrit pot-

Last time I roled the dice I got the Penguin

[patent harbor]

i remember i saw a video on that. weren't those fantom entities btw?

[rain forge]

some guy cloned a fuckton of those soot enemies in yu event and it led to them being able to place as many yu's as they wanted

[patent harbor]

yeeee that one, but most of the entities were fantom i believe

[vital raft]

Is there any point in pulling on begginer banner after doing the 1st 10 pull and getting 6 star from the guarantee

[wind blade]

for aesthetics

[outer fjord]

Does amiya guard talent get permanently buffed after s2?

[proud sentinel]

Are these missions completeable for their rewards after the ch 16 "event" ends?

[short steppe]

Is the Defense tag too broad to pull on-

[fathom nest]

There are recruitment calcs all over the net

[outer fjord]

Everything that doesn't have a timer

[wind blade]

they're not timed, so yes

[proud sentinel]

You can see all the possible outcomes for recruitment calcs on akgcc.github.io

[short steppe]

Im looking at it right now actually

[outer fjord]

^

[wind blade]

I would assume no since the skill ends, and the talent says "on skill"

[proud sentinel]

I personally dont roll recruitment unless theres a tag combo that guarantees a 4*+ - you can still roll up theoretically but its a pretty dreadful rate in my experience (i used to roll aoe sniper since i was missing a pot on meteorite and she was the only 5* that fit that at the time)

[short steppe]

Aight- give me one second
Im gonna be rolling the dice and see where it lands

I have aquired a new op: Saga

[outer fjord]

Seems like noone tested it huh

[fathom nest]

It's only when the skill is active

[short steppe]

Is Saga good

[fathom nest]

Nope

[short steppe]

[rain forge]

she has usage as a home page assistant

[wind blade]

the wording is pretty clear so not much reason to test whether it's broken or not

[proud sentinel]

Theres no value in getting simulation score above 24 correct?

[fathom nest]

Self satisfaction

[short steppe]

That is diabolical

Another quick question- Ines module worth investment ?

[fathom nest]

Nah

[rain forge]

if you want to use her as a frd y1 works

aside from that nah not really

[short steppe]

Aight- so ill skip out on her module for now . . . that means my Ines investment has finally concluded with a level 80 icnrease

[feral scarab]

Whom to level next / give mastery / modules?

[short steppe]

Aside from time investment; Raiden is practically free

That is my pick but others will probably give you much better options to level up and invest in

[severe crypt]

Also consider getting a krooster account to better share ur roster

[hoary ruin]

H16-2 down. Fully built Hoshi1 was what I needed. So thanks.

Still needed Saria, Sussurru, Haruka and Mont3r on heals though. Yeesh.

[wraith shoal]

question about CC. So is the music they release with each one playing on the background while the stage is played?

[outer fjord]

There are several OSTs in one CC

[nova nest]

Would it be better to grab Rhodes Island Supply Crates or Ore / Kohl?

[wraith shoal]

oh yeah ik, just wondering if it's played in the bg or just in the menu

[wind blade]

the main cc theme people think of is the one in the menu I believe

[outer fjord]

I can't answer to your question with 100% accuracy since by "it" you can mean one of at least 2 or 3 OSTs

[severe crypt]

Don’t they release all cc theme related at the same time, like the lobby theme and stage theme release together no

[outer fjord]

They do

[echo venture]

each cc has a lobby theme and a battle theme.
normally yeah they release those

[pliant valve]

what the name of this enemy? i want to check the wiki

[fathom nest]

Sarkaz Wither Devourer

[pliant valve]

aightt, thankss

[wind blade]

grab ore/kohl only if you need them (stock up ~100), get the supply crates otherwise since they give a sanity refund to use for later

[worldly estuary]

Id get at least 50-80 mango/kohl and dump the rest in those crates.
Those don’t guarantee a t3 mat but 10 sanity refund is nice

[raven ermine]

Don't buy manganese and kohl in this shop, it's more expensive than the usual event shop
Buy the crates, it's return on sanity and free mats, you'll stock up on kohl/manga later

[flint onyx]

Maybe this is more IS chat related question but still. For is in general, should i build deepcolor and for is6 do i need to e2 raidian as any other unit or for this mode only I can get her promotions from is6 skill tree?

[limpid yarrow]

you get everything about radian frm playing is6, including e2 mod and masteries

[fathom nest]

Can't get trust from IS6 but, yeah

[limpid yarrow]

deepcolor is good to have in general, but for IS6 roberta might be a better free supporter pick

[heady ruin]

i thought roberta kind of sucked whar

[boreal steeple]

Underrated and performs in is6 just as needed. 2 block and a shield that's very important in ed2 for example, and enough defense for enemies in general

[raven ermine]

Roberta is a 0 hope ground operator for supp ticket

[heady ruin]

oh right

[sonic zinc]

Is SL-EX-5 glitched? I can't get the last enemy to spawn for some reason.

Or does it intentionally take a long time to spawn?

[woven mica]

Nope it's bugged

[sonic zinc]

Ah okay.

[woven mica]

Just finished stage yesterday but yeah it doesn't take time to spawn

[subtle dawn]

Can someone pls help me beat conflict zone skirmish in RA Im stuck on it 😔

[severe crypt]

Have you tried #strategy or #reclamation-algorithm-hub

[subtle dawn]

I tried strategy but not the second channel I will try there thank you

[zenith wolf]

Does generic Fragile (example Suzuran & Gnosis or whatever) stack with Arts Fragility effects (such as ReedAlter and Hibiscus Alter)?

[severe crypt]

Yes

Those 2 also stack with generic arts amp like from saria s3

[zenith wolf]

Nice

[plain hemlock]

any website where I can see the materials needed for operators masteries, mods, etc.?

[urban sleet]

Wiki, planner in krooster, ptilopsis.sys

[rain forge]

krooster.com or wiki.gg

[hoary ruin]

The easiest site for that is https://www.krooster.com/

Import roster, use planner function to input OP name, set what module, masteries, etc and it will show you everything required.

[plain hemlock]

damn I tried krooster for a bit but wasn't seeing anything showing the specific mats needed. I'll check it out again, ty

[rain forge]

It’s in the planner section

[hoary ruin]

Planner > add goal > type op name

[plain hemlock]

ahh, I got it, thanks guys!

[light latch]

Are s1 or s2 on ela ever used

[coarse notch]

ela s1 was used in ccb4 max risk low ops
but for normal functioning humans ela just uses s3

[limpid yarrow]

for high end all three skills are used

but ya generally just stick to s3

[pale tapir]

yeah it's just about 20 USD for the whole set after taxes
I bought all of em
probably coulda skipped the profile background tho because I can't change it off myrtle

[shadow bay]

gonna trust my help peeps for these one

[vital kelp]

supporter for suzu gamble else uhhhh yolo or some

[left tulip]

How good is specter alt btw?

[pale tapir]

if they already have suzu they could shoot for ifrit/mosti gamble on aoe

[vital kelp]

mid

[shadow bay]

road to p5 mostima indeed ....

[obtuse obsidian]

Do you have a 6 star with max pot? If yes you do yolo for the hope of 25 gold certs

[shadow bay]

not yet... but lmao my mostima is p3 already

[raven ermine]

Mid indeed, but more toward the bad side than the good one

[lyric lagoon]

immortal zombie

[raven ermine]

You don't cope a 1/31 for 25 certs anyway

[vital kelp]

guys who is the middest of all mid characters

[green rose]

Is it worth it to buy headhunting permits with 450 green certs

[vital kelp]

yes

[shadow bay]

i lost the mostima pot gamble

[pale tapir]

qiubai?

[obtuse obsidian]

Skull issue

[raven ermine]

ifrit p3

[vital kelp]

isnt she the better part of mid

[shadow bay]

can now deploy ifrit 1 sec earlier

[obtuse obsidian]

From never deploy her to never deploy her 1 sec earlier pog

[vital kelp]

is there a character whos not mid/bad and not mid/good, but rather just

mid

[frozen echo]

mlynar

[left tulip]

Was that always the case or did she get powervrept?

[shadow bay]

can we say mah boi stainless was mid??? 🥹

[ancient current]

I'm sure you have something better to do than ragebaiting

[vital kelp]

it was a genuine question but alright will drop it

[obtuse obsidian]

Specter released horrible

The got a mod that made her playable but nothing fancy

[ancient current]

not you

[runic willow]

Marcille

[ancient current]

@frozen echo

[shadow bay]

the problem with spect alt is... she need a lot of investment, but she doesn't have redeeming quality to warrant those investment

[raven ermine]

Idk it's quite hard to draw the line, especially without context
If i had to draw one i would say horn is the middle ground
Maybe on the slightly good-ish side of mid

[frozen echo]

that's not a ragebait

[shadow bay]

u want her modded to be functional

[left tulip]

Ic

[ancient current]

if you answer a question you don't answer with something objectively and obviously incorrect
this is the help channel, not #arknights-2

moving on

[vital kelp]

yeah horn and marcille is really the middle of middletown huh

any feelings on vina and viviana also going there

@left tulip the thing with spalter is that she doesnt do anything outstanding, nothing too special except like immortality but like... its a niche use and theres like 5 or so other op like that nowdays

[shadow bay]

ah players

[vital kelp]

even in AH spalter isnt that special

[raven ermine]

viviana is held back a lot because of not being a real unit before mod3 s3m3
After that she's decent, ST damage is on the stronger side of the "mid"

I won't even talk about her new module

[lyric lagoon]

she should’ve been based off of the immortal jellyfish atp

[shadow bay]

wdym the +hp% and 0.5 sp/s is nice to buff ulpia---

w8 wtf she just become ulpipi buffer

[raven ermine]

Well in AH she's pretty decent tho
One of the best buffs of the squad

But the unit quality in AH is atrocious so

[shadow bay]

but kidding aside spalter is quite bulky inside ah... but yehhh

[obtuse obsidian]

Tbh most players just use ulpain s2 so more often then not wont use the sp regen lmao

[vital kelp]

not as meaningful as gladiia tho, and since ulpian is the only usable unit there

[shadow bay]

afk players

[lyric lagoon]

that’s all of AH squad though? just ulpi buffer

[obtuse obsidian]

Generally speaking people use him with gladiia and like Haruka to stall some annoying ass boss forever

Or they are is nerds who use s3

[lyric lagoon]

even the former AH that isn’t in AH squad due to eldritch horror reasons is ulpi buffer

[vital kelp]

everything will change when they release ultimate AH carry trust, they gonna powercreep wang and wisadel

[limpid yarrow]

cc12 champion spalter

[raven ermine]

I'll take even a random ahh 5* atp, give me anything 😔

[limpid yarrow]

unfortunately voted out of super big cup so narrowly out of top 36

[obtuse obsidian]

Bro they gonna release a broken durin alter before they release an ah dps

[hoary ruin]

Icebreaker games is another no-sanity event?

[vital kelp]

spalter is like mid or low of big cup so like

[obtuse obsidian]

Ya

[lyric lagoon]

wonder what they’re even gonna give her

imagine she’s a bard with hunting horn 🥀

[vital kelp]

150% art dodge and when she dodges she deals 200k aoe true dmg trust

[obtuse obsidian]

of course its a great sword user with a sword 10 times her size

[hoary ruin]

2 block, vulpis damage, agent DP gen.

[lyric lagoon]

cause like ranger is definitely getting heavy bowgun or gunlance

[obtuse obsidian]

Anyway we need to stop before we get shot

[ancient current]

this conversation is irrelevant to the channel
drop it

[runic willow]

If I'm playing mid knights and can only use the most mid operators....

[ancient current]

this one too

[vital kelp]

is IS6 finished in CN? like no more dlc coming

[limpid yarrow]

ya

[vital kelp]

im assuming no news on is7

is the next event confirmed to be the ursus one?

[abstract mauve]

thorns2

[humble nova]

the notes mention'd top op. Are we getting a top op tag during the orientation banner or is that top op coming in sash2 while we get senior tag before it.

[frozen echo]

Senior op, 5*

[abstract mauve]

on CN both tags were tied to Sash2 event. senior was like a week earlier than top op tho. idk what yostar is planning

[vital kelp]

is anyone even worth getting in top op

[lyric lagoon]

also we need ra3 news before is7 anyways

[abstract mauve]

kaltsit gets added (on CN at least) so yes

top op + summon is guaranteed kaltsit

[lyric lagoon]

then of course there’s ol reliable ng, suzu, ifrit, etc.

[abstract mauve]

kaltsit is still the only one that i would cert

[limpid yarrow]

real isheads are quite excited

[lyric lagoon]

all that for summon tag to fall and skadi jumpscare

[vital kelp]

so is ursus gonna be a lim banner then?

[abstract mauve]

limited unit from ursus would go crazy

[vital kelp]

[lyric lagoon]

oh wait that’s speculation

[abstract mauve]

any clue what next CN event is?

[native cargo]

What is the debuff +attackspeed or -attackspeed

[abstract mauve]

-aspd

[lyric lagoon]

ursus on 7th of april

[humble nova]

when is ascalon expected to come in gold cert? late? early?

[abstract mauve]

yooooooooo

[vital kelp]

-# im mysterious

[lyric lagoon]

could also just be ursus side story and then anni is completely unrelated whatsoever

[humble nova]

okay wth is this ursus event yall speaking of Is it a huge event?

[raven ermine]

Well shouldn't we get a livestream if it was anni ?

[abstract mauve]

ye

[raven ermine]

Should be the upcoming CN event, it was teased recently

[lyric lagoon]

like a week ago it was teased

[abstract mauve]

teased where. me cant find

[humble nova]

oh cool

[raven ermine]

Right before AS PV iirc

[vital kelp]

was it said to be a anni event or is that just predicted from the dates

[long comet]

am I missing out on stuff if I don't complete this in 2 days

[lyric lagoon]

just predicted, hence why I said “oh that’s speculation”

[humble nova]

the rewards in the tasks

[raven ermine]

https://ak.hypergryph.com/news/6251

[vital kelp]

😠

[long comet]

footprints ye? thats it?

[raven ermine]

It's a sidestory btw, they state as much in the dev blog
Unless translation is being very very wonky

[vital kelp]

lemme read

[humble nova]

pretty sure ye

[vital kelp]

yeah looks like sidestory not intermezzi

wtf Nao im gonna

not only its speculation but its wrong speculation aaaaah

[hoary ruin]

There are some tasks in "Footprints" that have "time remaining" that give flints.

The other stuff like the skin and mats should stick around. That's what happened with Ch 15.

So the only things that should be removed once the event ends are flints and the related shop.

[abstract mauve]

also if you like the skin in the shop best to buy it now cuz in the future it will be very expensive

[humble nova]

is it better to retreat haruka with s3m3 to cycle her skill?

[vital kelp]

why use s3

[abstract mauve]

i just wouldnt use s3 tbh. havent found a use for it either

[raven ermine]

rdp time is 70s
Skill sp cost is 60, sp regen is 1/s
So no

[reef sparrow]

most likely bear stall

[humble nova]

her s3 is a nice helidrop skill, it gives 60% dmg reduction and levitates enemies globally while dealing miniature dmg. Basically hoshi2's s3 but longer.
Im trying it out on the bear. And been using it on mortars and such such.

But yeah i mainly use s2, but s3 is pretty cool

Also her s3 basically makes an operator with block 1, to stop an army of enemies in its face
(if they hit em)

[wraith shoal]

are sash2 and pram2 good for IS?

[vital kelp]

ok/decent

they are a bit expensive id say but they do stuff

[waxen dove]

anyone have a yu i can use

[waxen dove]

sash2 is broken if youre playing high diff and extrmely complicated runs

[vital kelp]

i wouldnt say broken

[waxen dove]

but i would

[humble nova]

✋

[wraith shoal]

what's considered a "complicated run"?

[humble nova]

isnt sash2 like rlly good in teamcomps with redeployment and high-low cost placements?

[waxen dove]

3 endings in 1 run at d18 perhaps

[slender palm]

What would you guys say is the best limited operator to start an account with?

[raven ermine]

[wraith shoal]

what sorcery is this lol wdym 3 endings

[coarse notch]

both are very strong

but usage depends on the iteration
for instance they're both complete bums in is5

[humble nova]

wasnt there that one comp with fully vanguards and specialists to abuse sash2 or something

[wraith shoal]

due to opponents or other factors?

[coarse notch]

you dont need vgg to run sash2

[waxen dove]

you can do it

[vital kelp]

why the ask

u cant really start with previous lim operators

[raven ermine]

For homegrowing ofc

[coarse notch]

everything, the mechanics of the iteration, the powerscaling, the enemies, the stage design

[lament loom]

How to get IS5 ED3?

[pale tapir]

the one you can get

[waxen dove]

currently at 200 yellow, any way to hit 258 by sash

[humble nova]

pull (during sash ig)

[coarse notch]

check wiki
lost and found, refresh into prophecy

[vital kelp]

second option in lost and found node, go to bosky

[waxen dove]

bro.

[humble nova]

no srsly, if your gonna pull on sash2, it doesnt matter. Just pull and u get the 58 certs + recruitment

[lament loom]

Ty ty 👍

[coarse notch]

you aint getting 258 by the end of this month and sash2 is likely to be in april so hes right

[waxen dove]

oh wait shop resets anyway
so yeah doesnt matter

[vital kelp]

the end of the month is happening in less than 24 hours

[severe crypt]

For you

[waxen dove]

its so over

[lyric lagoon]

did you like… already spend the gold certs or smth

[coarse notch]

if you arent planning on pushing high diff then you can use any generically strong operator
pramalt and sash2 are very generically strong operators so

[lyric lagoon]

and are rushing for 58 more, cause having 258 now and having 258 then doesn’t change much

[waxen dove]

no, fortunately

[lyric lagoon]

you’re not getting another 258 within this time span from now till april unless you pull anyways

[waxen dove]

help reminded me of ts

[waxen dove]

we are going all in

[wraith shoal]

well I'm probably not doing any high difficulties in the near future,since I have only done IS6 and I'm only at d5. Just wanna know if they're good generally for endgame IS too

[lament loom]

How tough is IS5 ED3 actually?

[waxen dove]

anything is5 is generally easy if you are aware of what youre supposed to do

[coarse notch]

hilariously easy

[raven ermine]

This one is incredibly easy specifically

[lament loom]

Hmmm. Time to first time it then. Will attempt 24 then 245 after

[severe crypt]

Oh yeah ed3 is free

[coarse notch]

read the boss mechanics beforehand

[raven ermine]

They did my boy patriot so dirty with that ending

[lament loom]

Wuh I need the wiki then, don't have access to boss info for first attempt

[pale tapir]

yes you can also watch the stage preview on tomimi
annoying ik

[coarse notch]

ah then yes, is3 and 6 are their playground

[lament loom]

I know its like Patriot alter so I assume high phys dmg. Can bring Hoshi or Hoshi Alter with medic be enough?

[coarse notch]

highly recommend using tomimi
if you've scaled correctly you can just blow him up on sight

[lyric lagoon]

me when I don’t sugarcoat it with lemuen

[coarse notch]

the only threatening thing on his stage is his ranged tile nuke

[lament loom]

Oh wow damn, literally flashbacks to original Patriot be the damage test dummy

[ancient current]

what what do you mean using tomimi

[raven ermine]

tomimi.dev 🥹

[coarse notch]

tomimi will whack patriot trust

[lament loom]

What if 12F phys dodge gamba

[ancient current]

oh wait ohhhh

:icant:

please use dev 🥹 scared the shittocks out of me i literally just opened the channel and i see tomimi shill

[coarse notch]

he nukes every tile on the map, theres a bulwark mechanic to shelter from it but uh i dont think anyone actually interacts with it

[lament loom]

Oh. Imma read beforehand then

[abstract mauve]

tomimi borken

[severe crypt]

(Derogatory)

[lament loom]

Tomimi.dev go brrrr

[lyric lagoon]

breaking news: new tomimi is5ed3 tech?

[pale tapir]

[raven ermine]

It's schrodin, you're safe 🥹

[severe crypt]

It wishes it was as good as the zuo le gravel tech

[raven ermine]

Ain't no schizo shilling going on here

[abstract mauve]

i deadass didnt even know that was a mechanic. i failed my vigil boss solo like 7 months ago cuz i didnt know that

[ancient current]

anyways, moving on

[lament loom]

Interesting. Patriot Alter revives if mind is fractured and there is 100% redeploy time for manual retreat. If mind is not fractured, theres no revive right?

[coarse notch]

he doesnt revive a second time if toil is lucid correct
all ending bosses have additional effects when toil is fractured

[lament loom]

Understood. Aight Imma go for it then. Tyty

[ancient current]

relocation trivialises the map anyways

[raven ermine]

So uh, wtf do you do if you're not highrolling in f4/5 shop rob for IS6 ?
Am i supposed to explode if i lowroll the cannot skill ?

[light latch]

what difficulty is this

[raven ermine]

It was d14

[abstract mauve]

is6? you take the L icl

[boreal steeple]

D14 still piss easy, unless you lowroll none of res or hp relics but its doable

[abstract mauve]

shop rob still a bit iffy

[lilac valve]

Which Mod does Fiametta most commonly use?

[raven ermine]

That's how i feel, had runs where there was zero issue, cannot rolled the +150% atk skill and my 14k hp summon vanished in 2 hits from a random goober

[boreal steeple]

None of people use fia, but modx feels better

[boreal steeple]

I wonder who you put it up against if you got the drum

[wraith shoal]

which of the IS ops is worth getting first?

[boreal steeple]

Raidian is crazy good for an IS op

[raven ermine]

The drum ?

[spare jetty]

raidian>the rest

[boreal steeple]

+15% atk every coin toss(max 10)

[wraith shoal]

apart from her? Is anyone useful for anything?

[boreal steeple]

Tin man in 5☆ nichenights

[raven ermine]

I'm not sure i follow what you meant then

[boreal steeple]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Metal_Expedition_Drum

[raven ermine]

Well yeah, i got that part just fine

[abstract mauve]

it's the other part that i dont get as well

[raven ermine]

I don't understand what you mean there

[boreal steeple]

Like who ate your summons if you highrolled hp relics and the drum and still got nom nom by

[raven ermine]

I didn't highroll shit, that was the entire point

[thorny edge]

sometimes cannot makes his shit invincible

[boreal steeple]

14k hp summon

[raven ermine]

And hit very hard and very fast, fuck that dude

[raven ermine]

Eblana ? 🥹

[thorny edge]

very hard and very fast

[boreal steeple]

Oh eblana banana

[thorny edge]

many would hit, very hard and very fast

[stoic needle]

How do I unlock the other sightseer scrolls on IS6? I just finished the Ling one

And I know there's a zuo Le one I can't do

[runic rain]

monthlies

[stoic needle]

When do I unlock all of them?

[balmy panther]

you need to do them on their month or wait till mode finishes updating, when they are all unlocked

[stoic needle]

Which should be how long?

[balmy panther]

7-8 months total
so just do the scrolls in april and may and you will be fine

[runic rain]

also anyone got mizuki is mod and entelechy

[ocean spade]

hey where can i borrow someone's shinning?

[limpid yarrow]

#friend-id

[wraith shell]

Is this simulation score permanent thing? Or i need to clear this before the event ends?

[formal shadow]

perma

[earnest saddle]

do we know when is silverash banner

[fathom nest]

Not exactly, no

Icebreaker was just announced

[timber elk]

How do I use Proviso in Trading Post? Do I just let her do it alone or are there anyone I should assign her with?

[shadow bay]

pair with high%, usually quartz

[timber elk]

oh ty

[sly compass]

@urban sleet you pinged me in #friend-id saying that e1 cuora can tank H16-2 bear. But my e2 69 cuora gets 1shot by the bear. Is that only during cuora skill? Also I did find a max hoshi 1 who also gets 1shot by the bear. I watch people with their videos of tanking the bear and I don't know what I'm missing. I don't see anything specific to tanking the bear in their description

[jaunty eagle]

how much gb is the game for you guys? mine 16gb~

[thorny edge]

17 💀

[shadow bay]

15.2 gb... usually this differs to voice packs

[thorny edge]

ya i got all the voice packs downloaded. except korean

[jaunty eagle]

i see good to know ~

[vagrant juniper]

is your cuora modded

[odd sky]

14.68gb

[random shard]

My e1 max lives till the second hit so it's definitely not getting one shot

Also claiming a max hoshi1 gets one shot kinda wildin

[vagrant juniper]

well at least someone has experience using cuora here, i just used hoshi1 s2 module 3 like every other cope player, just go check eckogen low rarity guide for the stage because he used e2 cuora

[severe crypt]

Why is everyone and their moms using hoshi when Nian is right there 🥹

[vagrant juniper]

i missed her banner

[limpid yarrow]

why we blocking with defense stacking

tragodia and leizi2 held it for me
can't be a threat if it can't attack

[severe crypt]

People are def stacking?

[abstract mauve]

hoshi is way more popular for some reason. it seems that opinions on older operators are very exceedingly slow to shift in AK

[odd sky]

my mom doesn't play arknights

[severe crypt]

I thought you just support with your best medics and call it a day

[vagrant juniper]

yeah she plays endfield, we know

maybe the dude is just plonking cuora down asap without medics or dragging the bear around first -> doesn't explain hoshi1 getting oneshot

[formal shadow]

surtr hospital

[severe crypt]

Except it’s a Nian hospital

[odd sky]

can we see your cuora?

[light latch]

I could believe the first half but there’s zero chance a maxed hoshi1 got one shot, the bear doesnt even do that much dmg on the first hit

[sly compass]

Yes m3

[subtle dawn]

Guys I have a question what's the point of E2'ing surtr to kill bosses when I already have tequila for that?

[sly compass]

@odd sky ^

[light latch]

Boss survives your tequilla’s full skill duration, boss has absurdly high def but passable res, there’s more than one boss and neither path near each other, boss instantly kills tequila, take your pick

[odd sky]

mod3 you mean
probably off-skill then?

[plain hemlock]

they're pretty different. Surtr can actually survive BS damage dealers due to immortality and she deals arts instead of physical

[light latch]

As for H12-2, i hope you’re not tanking the bear while its enraged

[reef sparrow]

bear has 1950 atk at H16-2

[subtle dawn]

I was just wondering cuz I feel like E2 mountain is a better investment than E2 surtr but idk

[sly compass]

Gotcha. So cuora only surviving during skill, so I need to land it earlier to build up SP. I'll have GM to go back and check if hoshi is being 1shot. My plan was to bring 3 healers to keep them alive like in the non-hell stages, but wasn't seeing the ho bar move at all just 1shot. So I figured I was doing something wrong

[shadow bay]

nope

mountain can suck himself e1 until u dry out ur options to e2

surtr want e2 to be useful, so she take priority

[plain hemlock]

mountain works fine at E1, surtr doesn't

[light latch]

You are doing something wrong

[plain hemlock]

and even if he didn't, surtr is still the better op at E2

[light latch]

You brute forced the regular stage with overleveled for stage ops so u never learned how to kite the bear

[shadow bay]

also this is a question of, in killing boss do u want a sword or a wand to kill it

[hexed adder]

Surtr can helidrop on e2, can act as panic button too. More option to ur new acc whynot

[subtle dawn]

So is e2 surtr only good for high def bosses or can you use her in general content too?

[light latch]

point her at whatever u immediately want dead (that is on the ground) and press skill

[subtle dawn]

All the story bosses have been pretty easy so far ngl I just put specter + a healer and they get the job done that's why I'm thinking E2 surtr is overkill

[shadow bay]

not rly high def... ur not looking at defense when using surtr

since surtr is arts, look at her res... lower res the better surtr is on paper, plus she also have innate ignore res talent so u can also use her even when enemy have little bit of res

[light latch]

What chapter are you on

[hexed adder]

Probably 3

[sharp thunder]

do the simulation score rewards go away in 3 days when the ch16 event ends?

[subtle dawn]

Just finished 4

[shadow bay]

permanent like past chapter updates

[hexed adder]

Thought so

[light latch]

You’re doing the equivalent of fighting the tutorial with a max lvl char then

[shadow bay]

the only thing limited in a sense in event is... well the event shop

and the missions that give flint upon completion

[light latch]

ch4 was released about.. 6-7 years ago?

[sharp thunder]

how about the ‘footprints’ task board rewards?

[subtle dawn]

When does the story get hard then E2 logos was already overkill and I recently E2'ed silverash too if I E2 surtr every enemy will just be getting one shotted 😭

[shadow bay]

refer to my second statement

if u can see only those missions have time duration

[light latch]

Do the currently active chapter release event then

[subtle dawn]

Nah we don't talk about that one 💔 16-7 made me rage quit that event

[light latch]

well there u go

[shadow bay]

u know they say the larger the weapon arsenal the better u stand

in later stage of the game, ull just gonna overload ur team with dpses to cheeze content until u hit a wall to actually strategize

[boreal steeple]

16-7 is only gimmicky lvl in ch16

[subtle dawn]

I lowkey hit that wall already with chapter 16 but we don't talk about that

[light latch]

The game doesnt even recommend u e2 an op until ch5, for reference

[plain hemlock]

it will, dw. those ops won't cheese some later stages

[shadow bay]

deym i forget 16-7, is that supposed to be memorable?

[subtle dawn]

Oh I didn't know that

[light latch]

stage with exploding butterflies

Aka positioning check

[shadow bay]

still forgot but im aware the butterfly do hurt a lot

[subtle dawn]

It's the stage with 3 blue boxes at the bottom

[light latch]

If u randomly place ops u immediately watch the entire squad got kamikazi’d

[subtle dawn]

Y'all think it's possible for me to beat it or am I too under leveled?

Silverash is E2'ed btw

[shadow bay]

seems like #strategy for u

[subtle dawn]

Oh ok mb

[shadow bay]

but it is an early stage so it should be still on easier side

[glossy pecan]

any notable upcoming 5*?

[plain hemlock]

no, the stage doesn't really stat check you. It just tests your strategy

[hexed adder]

I heard u one shooted every enemy without support b4, so surely

[balmy panther]

notable
5star
lol
lmao even

[glossy pecan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pale tapir]

ask rechord

[limpid yarrow]

theres this one splash caster thats not terrible

surprising for a splash caster
but otherwise mostly mid

[pale tapir]

ohhh yeah
what's her name again
I really wanna build her

[tired ledge]

do i bother w/ weedy mod?
if yes, which mod to unlock and what's the breakpoint?
if it's both, which one is used more often overall

[formal shadow]

🥀

[humble nova]

i just realized but no one rlly or couldn't answer it, but does retreating haruka have better cycling to use her s3?

[rain silo]

there s still no way to play ak on pc other than emulator right?

[balmy panther]

.... why
i think not, isnt it 50/40? or was it 60/50

[proven kelp]

I mean, just count lol
A Redeploy is 70 sec
How much is her SP cost?
Now which is bigger

[potent tartan]

The stage can be solod by just Mon3tr on Adverse
E2 Logos and SA plus everyone else is more than enough to clear that stage

[pale tapir]

no unless you play on CN

[balmy panther]

60

[proven kelp]

Hmm?

[humble nova]

How do u check their exact redeploy time

[balmy panther]

buddy, read your question again

[formal shadow]

if they have nothing related to increasing/decreasing redeploy time, it's 70

[proven kelp]

and i said her redeployment time is 70 sec

[humble nova]

Alr I checked, it seems retreating her is inefficient, tyall

[formal shadow]

[hexed adder]

There's still bubble to cope

[proven kelp]

All operators that aren't Executor, Agent and 1* has the same Redeployment time
and ops with Module

[subtle dawn]

I don't understand the best places to place them tho cuz they just die due to lack of healing

[humble nova]

oh thought it was different randomly for certain operators by their stats

[pale tapir]

wonder if suzu sp regen for supporters can make haruka cycle faster than retreat

[light latch]

And arent skadi, or silverash, or schwarz or april and probably a few others

[humble nova]

her s3 is 60 sp, so 60 seconds. and her redeploy is 70 secs. So I assume retreating is not efficient either way.

[balmy panther]

p1 welfares have 80

[humble nova]

damn thats high, is that the highest redeployment time?

[pale tapir]

no 1* robot much higher

[balmy panther]

ignoring robots, and nearl s2 penalty, yes

[humble nova]

oh i forgot about robots eek

[ancient wind]

Folinic any good?

[hexed adder]

Welfare default 80, but ye pot cover a bit, and CS 22-4 on pot

[limpid yarrow]

not super needed but iirc the sp regen mod is nice

[pale tapir]

don't think u need to IIRC
if you do it's like modx or something
I'd check roadless in pins for mod rec

[light latch]

Agents, executors, merchants, april, conviction, schwarz, skadi, yato1.. is that everyone?

[pale tapir]

she's a bad incantation medic and suffers from welfare so no

[potent tartan]

Start off with a healer/Mon3tr on the bottom left ranged tile so the miners can solo the unblockables
Once your dp is high enough, place your dmg dealers and self sustainable bait at once to shrug off the ballistae thing
Anything more specific afterwards is a matter of trial and error dependant on your units and deployment order
Just watch out for the commander and the gundam which will come down through the middle by the end of the stage

[ancient wind]

So bad at being an incantation medic she's not even an incantation medic.

[light latch]

Oh right aak module

[pale tapir]

she was kinda the first experiment into "I'm a healer, but..."
along with kelsey

[ancient wind]

What do incantation medics even do. I don't have any

[pale tapir]

you have amiyi
they heal allies in range when attacking enemies

[light latch]

Do dmg and heal for % of dmg done

[chrome epoch]

what do i level in the base to get the third support operator slot?

[subtle dawn]

Isn't it best to place my healer (purestream) and then myrtle? And then my dmg dealers?

[light latch]

how about u not give yourself account dmg

[pale tapir]

the issue with folinic is that she basically does that but with downtime on s2 while amiya does that with zero downtime better range and better heals and true dmg

[potent tartan]

Depends on how much you can get away with delaying a damage dealer drop
Deploying Myrtle as soon as you can just because its 'dp efficient' is just being greedy for dp

[ancient wind]

When am I supposed to get this universal class amiya

Because I don't have her yet

[pale tapir]

ch8 ch14

[chrome epoch]

finish chapter 14

[ancient wind]

Ah, so that's gonna take a while

[pale tapir]

you will also need e2 amiyi bnuuy

[potent tartan]

Plus, ive no idea if your Myrtle + Purestream can even survive the ballistae thing

[pale tapir]

in case you're still curious you level reception room
however not recommended because it steals power from factories, reducing base resource output, and is irreversible

[limpid yarrow]

and then you will have to live with only showing off 1 cool operator

[tired ledge]

if it's mod x, i reckon the breakpoint is lv3?

[chrome epoch]

i have 3 lvl3 factories following the 2-5-2 setup... should i go for lvl1 dorms

[violet python]

heyoo just lookin for some advice on my account's progression
i just e2'd eyja and m1'd her s2. worth doing more for her?
and also i was told that, now i should e2 Saria > Mountain > Blaze. Still a good trajectory?
https://www.krooster.com/u/icebloxs

[wanton meadow]

You should always have lv1 dorms in a 252 with the exception of max right 252 which has 1 level2 dorm cos there's spare power but not enough to upgrade another facility

[pale tapir]

roadless in pins says bionic seadragon lv1

[wanton meadow]

252 2313 and 252 3313 both have all lv1 dorms

[tired ledge]

ok thanks

[pale tapir]

oh I remember now
you don't need x3 because all u really care about is getting dp refund lol

[tired ledge]

i see. i thought the sp gain (only 1s diff) is kinda good lol

[pale tapir]

that's nice yea but unless u simp weedy your resources are better spent elsewhere
220k lmd is a lot, not to mention the mod blocks and mats

[sour glacier]

Which Narantuya skill are better to M3?

[vital kelp]

s3

[sly compass]

I'm not sure how damage calcs work. What does this mean relative to my issues not getting 1shot?

[vale finch]

How good is Shu and Mlynar modules?

Wondering if I should get them or save for future 2nd ones

[limpid yarrow]

shu module is good
mlynar module is very very good and probably a priority

unc still got it but only as long as he has his new module

[wanton meadow]

The way phys works is, damage taken = damage dealt - defense, hence if you have enough defense the bear will basically deal tickle damage

[potent tartan]

Do Eyja s3 as well. Its one of her main skills, and it doesnt hurt to have more burst options. You only have two rn, which you might want to switch up from time to time
Id max her s2 too eventually, but m1 is a decent breakpoint for a while
Mountain and Blaze can stay E1 for as long as you like
Saria E2 for S3 access, S1 mastery and her module will be very useful

[opaque remnant]

mod3 mlynar is strong

[vale finch]

Ah okie, is it worth max lvl Mlynar or keep him at e260

[limpid yarrow]

liberators are pretty sensitive to base atk but it might be too expensive

its a big upgrade but there are higher priorities imo

[ancient lotus]

e260 is fine for now. He benefit from lv90 more than a typical operator but not worth the resources

[opaque remnant]

e2 60, level 60-90 isn't worth the LMD cost typically

[shadow bay]

only invest when rich

[abstract mauve]

mod1 for mlynar is especially strong. mod2 and mod3 are pretty decent too

[opaque remnant]

how old is mlynar by now in terms of release

[hoary ruin]

If you haven't gotten Mylinar's S3 to M3, do that instead imo.

[abstract mauve]

mod1 is prio over everything for him

[ancient lotus]

Mlynar is not far from kernel

[opaque remnant]

and he's still strong..

[hoary ruin]

Yeah Mod1 and then M3, is what I mean. M3 over lv90.

[vale finch]

Ooh, kernel means he's becoming less good and getting power creeped by newer standard ops?

[wanton meadow]

Mlynar will be in recruitment before eyja atp

[potent tartan]

It means hes old

Bro needs a wheelchair in kernel

[ancient lotus]

As of now he’s still doing fine

[hoary ruin]

mmmmm not really no. He's still among the game's top DPS.

[wanton meadow]

Old ops are seperated into kernel banner so the pull pool isn't so insanely saturated

That's all that means

[abstract mauve]

it also means tho that ops sent to kernel are way harder to get unless from gold cert

[vale finch]

I see...that doesn't seem like a good thing

[opaque remnant]

sometimes it is since older ops tend to be worse, sometimes no

[vague wasp]

Time to selling kernel selector

[abstract mauve]

it decreases the amount of older operators in the pool but mlynar becoming kernel would be a sad sight to see

[ancient lotus]

Theyve been selling it

[potent tartan]

Just wait for the Mlynar 6 star ticket that will eventually come out in like 2 or 3 years

[hoary ruin]

Good point. I should probably use that next paid selector on him if I don't get spooked on SA2's banner.

[ancient lotus]

Not really worth the $$ but its been a thing every 6 months

[wanton meadow]

I think it is, the quality of old ops are generally lower outside of certain exceptions so it's good that the standard pool is somewhat within a certain range from the most modern ops

[proven kelp]

Happy Ending 🙏

[abstract mauve]

unc so washed he got added to kernel 🥀

[vague wasp]

Mlynar alter next kazemierz patch

Fake horse fans

[wanton meadow]

Mlynar kernel? Nah, mlynar recruitment

[proven kelp]

Mlynar is defective

[vale finch]

Does kernel mean they also go into recruitment pool?

[opaque remnant]

the guard gamble expands

[wanton meadow]

That top op guard gamba would go crazy

[willow zodiac]

Haruka S3M3 any good? Or just S2M3?

[abstract mauve]

stick to s2m3

[wanton meadow]

Not necessarily, example being eyja who is still not in recruitment

[opaque remnant]

S3 is niche

[willow zodiac]

But are there niche-ish cases? Like. Tragodia is main S2 but I S3M3'd him anyways

[robust thistle]

If you dont know what youre doing with her s3, just leave it

[willow zodiac]

I should probably S2M3 Hoshi alter too

[limpid yarrow]

trag is a strong m6 tbh his s3 is miles ahead of haruka

[willow zodiac]

After M6 Mod4ing Ifrit I should revisit ops whose new-ish modules I haven't gotten

[abstract mauve]

hoshi2 s2 is an afk skill. s3 is better but you should mastery skills you use. if you use s2 then mastery it

[willow zodiac]

I like to get them Mod1 at least, and then if the module is good, it goes up to Mod3. But then there's some like Mountain where it barely changes anything so it stays Mod1

[robust thistle]

What are you talking about

[hexed adder]

Its called blogging

[tepid thistle]

Uh you shouldn't blog in this channel

[proven kelp]

The technique we haven't seen since the Heian Era

[fierce bluff]

Hello, new player here, how do I upgrade Raidian's skills 😭 It says I must reach Jianzi Shrine on Guided Tour 1 or above, which I presume means Floor 5. I have reached that floor multiple times already, but it still says unlock condition not met.

[outer ermine]

when do originium bonuses reset

[robust thistle]

Does it say clear or reach

[fierce bluff]

reach

[robust thistle]

Show screenshot and yout guided tour level

[lyric lagoon]

you sure you did it on diff 1?

[fierce bluff]

maybe not? it seems to say 1 on the guided tour selection though

[robust thistle]

Thats 0

[proven kelp]

We start at 0

[fierce bluff]

ohh okok i see, thank you guys

[robust thistle]

The highlighted part is 0

[abstract mauve]

i dont see a 0

[proven kelp]

Surely 0

[severe crypt]

Oh no that’s just a 5 in Arabic y’all

[odd sky]

[rocky cloak]

Is the limited 1* back? I missed that one

[odd sky]

actually i have no idea if april fools is at reset or after maint

[rocky cloak]

How can we get that 1* again? Will they change the mechanics? Maybe just give it in the mail?

[odd sky]

new april fools event comes with all past april fools events, so play the old event for u-official

[sinful tapir]

Someone reminds me what ice breaker about pls

[rocky cloak]

Is there a new 1* unit for this year?

[compact basin]

is it still possible to get Myrtle’s celebration skin??

[severe crypt]

Her what skin?

[odd sky]

worse, medal set

[quick jolt]

play it, its fun

[sinful tapir]

Fun my ass

[compact basin]

the golden apple one

[sinful tapir]

Pretty sure you can’t

[compact basin]

[severe crypt]

Her collab skin is the best anyway 🥱

Waaifu is good for IS and it's a guarantee

[slim tusk]

just go for pots,spec is fine

[crimson star]

what should I do with my sanity when I don't wanna do any stages

[odd sky]

[warm rock]

Is Honeyberry significantly better than Mulberry? I have max potential Mulberry ready to E2, but if Honeyberry is the better choice maybe I won’t

[eager totem]

farm rocks chips red certs

[severe crypt]

Both, suck, honey is just better at dealing with elem dmg specifically, but both have terrible raw healing numbers

[thorny edge]

the golden apple archipelago

[eager totem]

or if u really dont want to do any stages then spend it on drones i guess.??

[severe crypt]

How do you “not want to do any stages” ts auto

[thorny edge]

its too many taps

[knotty wave]

you dont event do stage, you just auto

[severe crypt]

Too many taps? Yeah I’m sentencing y’all to btd6 race mode

[gray mulch]

Why even play the game too many taps

[vital kelp]

Use the taboo app

[knotty wave]

nah bro life dont even have auto farm, we should all be jealous of vegetables

[gray mulch]

Dw soon the AI will auto farm irl for us

[eager totem]

is mumu good in is

[random kestrel]

nope,
honeyberry have stronger elemental heal than normal heal
while mulberry is the exact opposite

[formal shadow]

1 is the only medic that rats have to work with. The other is not a rat

[rocky cloak]

Can we stl save for silverash alter until June?

[gritty oyster]

Mulberry is basically a normal medic with elemental healing as a bonus, her single target healing with S2 is actually really high

[coarse notch]

sash2 is more likely to come towards the end of april/start of may
yostar scheduling changes pending of course

[neat acorn]

Spending 300 pulls on wis or saving for chen

[abstract mauve]

no she's a bit expensive for what she does

[random kestrel]

simply spend on ch3n banner instead

[winter carbon]

is ch3n limited too?

[random kestrel]

why bother spark wis when spark on cny arent wrong either like shu

[abstract mauve]

[coarse notch]

how about dont spark on either and pull like a human

[abstract mauve]

you're asking too much of me

[coarse notch]

mbmb

[odd sky]

how many pulls you have rn

[abstract mauve]

my pulls got sent to the shadow realm last time i tried to pull like a human

[random kestrel]

the question is which banner to spend 300 pulls for
so i assume spark is the intention in the first place

[coarse notch]

simply a test of faith

[neat acorn]

300

[coarse notch]

the way i read it was spending 300 on sash2 and skipping chen but maybe thats it

[neat acorn]

[abstract mauve]

what does "saving for chen" entail?

[hexed adder]

Rule 3 fr

[random kestrel]

i even forgor what this channel rule except D word :icant:

[odd sky]

you think you can ask again later? we have no news on the ursus event and mh collab rn

[coarse notch]

or 7th anniv so

[neat acorn]

When is 7th anni

[abstract mauve]

would we even get 7th anni news before sash2 event ends?

[coarse notch]

november-ish
do you have yatoalt

[coarse notch]

probably not officially 🤫

actually when was 6th anniv livestream

[abstract mauve]

yato2 feels like a a fomo pull recommendation rather than being actually worth it. i would trade my yato2 for an ela in a heartbeat

[hexed adder]

Around end of april probably, anniv always 1st may

[coarse notch]

april 26th was the 6th anniv stream, we should be able to get news before end of sash2 imo

[formal shadow]

I don't use yato much anymore 🥀

[odd sky]

yato2 usage ed5 is6 🤫

[neat acorn]

Are they going to do something for april 1st?

[formal shadow]

yeah she still has some good uses

[coarse notch]

eh i feel like shes still strong enough to rec pulling, dependent on pull state from 7th anniv/new monhun/trag rerun/new carnival banner
no ela but like no collab op is measuring up to ela
i dont blame them for not having the foresight but i dont think hg could have anticipated just how strong and long lived ela became

[abstract mauve]

is6 ed5 sounds schizo as hell icl. the IS devolves into how well you do in 1 stage

[formal shadow]

but doing is5 soul escort yato without pots is

game of hope you have enough dp gen

Thank you!

[nimble kite]

Since it's Main Story, all medals will be available to get after event.

[alpine lance]

Is there an efficiency chart for the headhunt parametric module store?

[nimble kite]

The Gold Cert shop?

[alpine lance]

No the orange certs I guess

[ivory terrace]

u mean from limited banner pulls? moe spreadsheet

[alpine lance]

Whatever this is

[robust thistle]

honestly the TL;DR is just 'buy what you need' from that store

like youre not gonna buy the top of the list just because its the top of the list

[alpine lance]

I have 2 items I wanna buy so better check which is better

[nimble kite]

Ah, Orange.

Just buy very ass to farm mats.

[ivory terrace]

best efficiency is spark 5* for gold cert instead of holding them

[alpine lance]

Oh... , fair enough I'll do that next time

[thick grove]

first, is their a base guide thing that shows or tells how to optimise the base for everything, lmd originium shard, etc and what operators to use and presets etc or...
