help

[slender temple]

They cut Naran and Mlynar which should gave the banner 4 solid choices into whatever craps we have now

[robust thistle]

We dont even know how she performs

[tidal badger]

Weird for you to assume Im not pulling for my wife

[frozen dawn]

not much info to decide that

[grim harness]

ah I just assumed the banner is live

[tidal badger]

if she ass dont care Im getting my wife

[slender temple]

I don't see Closure being better than the best VG we have atm, the same goes to Kal2 but I still hope for the best

[frozen dawn]

yeah they look very niche imo

[wise spear]

Are these good?

[robust thistle]

Closure has the potential simulator niche

I can see her getting used in high end CC

[frozen dawn]

trag and ulpi are great. zuo le is alright

[tidal badger]

Kalter being niche only? Sounds painful in my tongue

[lucid patrol]

What skill for pralter

[robust thistle]

2

[frozen dawn]

its still speculation

[fallow hinge]

How does the Salter + Ulpianus combo work. What are the requirements? Like Salter S2M3 or Ulpi S3M3 or other ops?

[robust thistle]

Yeh s2m3 SAlter and s3m3 ulp

[tidal badger]

300% true dmg 🙏🙏

[robust thistle]

You have 0.1s window to do it good luck

[fallow hinge]

ahh okay, I'll just get started with Ulpi s3 then before his s2

[frozen dawn]

ulpi should be s3m3

[robust thistle]

Actually you dont even need s2m3 SAlter, just E2

M3 just makes it hit harder

[frozen dawn]

how much is the dmg buff from l7 to m3 anyways

[lucid patrol]

Who is salter

[pure marsh]

is dp just useless in the new event

[robust thistle]

SA alter

[fallow hinge]

To make it work I just need Ulpi to activate his S3 before Salter S2 procs right?

[slender temple]

Reduce Ulpi cost, stack 2 slashes on him, deploy Ulpi, Use his S3 before the second slash comes out for maximum dmg output
And no this is not a necessary combo, just a flashy move you can do for funny insta killing stuff

[frozen dawn]

dp who

[pure marsh]

deployment points

[frozen dawn]

i am so brainded

[fallow hinge]

okay I got it. Thanks!

[compact sand]

Guys should I aim for tragodia?

[pure marsh]

don't you also have to make sure the slashes come out before his anchor lands or something sus like that

guy who clears all content easily:

[proud orchid]

Mod X best for saria?

[robust thistle]

Y

[coarse tide]

For stronghold its just lvl 6 ur shop first right?

[proud orchid]

Thx

[tidal badger]

Specalter and Gladiia for Ulpianus passive?

[nova raven]

so i'm trying for swalter but are these good pics outside of her?

[wraith sentinel]

I'm not sure when it will be, but as a standard operator who didn't debut on a vignette or episode release he should rerun as a 50% rate-up I believe.

[nova raven]

okay can i get th picks i should go for

[tidal badger]

A built vina victoria? Im in heaven❤️❤️❤️

[serene marlin]

who are some key units worth looking at in orienteering?

[grim harness]

Is this a paid selector or smth

[nova raven]

no it's the banner rn

[knotty wave]

its the orienteering banner

[pure marsh]

generally no unless you are trying some stat cheese stuff

[grim harness]

ah

[karmic flax]

I really love her design, plus after building her, I realized she's actually not bad at all. I'm really enjoying using her right now

[serene marlin]

ah yeah im wondering the same thing, idk who to pick

[pure marsh]

who told you she was "bad" smh

[nova raven]

yeah i just had someone say thy aren't good picks and didnt elaborate

[frozen dawn]

nah just build ulpi

[tidal badger]

Which skill is she better with kuz I might build her ngl

[serene marlin]

naturally

[surreal sphinx]

wait, did they really just add TFT in arknights? LUL

[slender temple]

Tragodia, Ulpianus and Zuo Le

[knotty wave]

better choices in that banner are Ulpi, Tragodia, and ZuoLe

[hollow furnace]

About Headhunting Banner It is worth pulling?

[pure marsh]

zuo le? really

also is this banner even any good considering upcoming ops

[serene marlin]

[slender temple]

Name the third option better than him.... And I'm just answering the question no need to attack me like that

[karmic flax]

Aight got it! But I actually have enough mats to raise both. Plus, I heard Zuo Le is one of the strongest laneholders right now, so I'm curious to try him out

[nova raven]

FUCK first ten x i got the wrong six star. thanks for all the help tho

[frozen dawn]

skip banner tbh if u have either trag or ulpi or both

[knotty wave]

you can go up to first 6* in this banner then continue saving if you rly wanna pull in this banner. Otherwise just save

[pure marsh]

i guess like blaze is possibly better depending on your account but yeah i guess not a lot of good options

[serene marlin]

what characters do i consider choosing from the 6* selector?

[cyan sky]

Just got Ulpi from orienteering. Do u guys think it's worth it to proceed for Tragodia? (yes, I'll still have enough for Wang banner)

[crimson viper]

Hemlo! Recs for Lessing pls 🛐

[tidal badger]

@karmic flax which skill do you think for vina is best for general use

[knotty wave]

s3

[wraith sentinel]

The chances are bad, wouldn't recommend.

[slender temple]

Pull the beginner banner first and see who you got, the best option should always be Silverash but if you get him from pulling then should consider Saria

[serene marlin]

why silverash? i already have lappland for guards and plan to try and get ulpianus

[karmic flax]

Isn't it obviously S3? The other two skills can't even compare to it the gap is just way too massive

[tidal badger]

havent seen her kit I just know shes an arts fighter

[frozen dawn]

sure if u have nothing else to build or focus on you can try him out. maybe try him out from support and then decide

[knotty wave]

lappguard is leagues behind SA 😑

[slender temple]

Big AoE high dmg skill (S3) that clear tons of mobs and elites, and also handle boss pretty well.
And no, Lapland cannot do any of that

[karmic flax]

Got it, really appreciate the help

[serene marlin]

ah really? sorry i started yesterday and im trying to follow a guide i found online for character power levels

[serene marlin]

[knotty wave]

also have invi reveal, newbie maps are prone to having invi units

[split sphinx]

Just because you have 2 guards doesnt mean you cant put 3 more guards in a team.

And lappland is way way worse compared to sash

[slender temple]

First thing first being the same class, such as guard, doesn't mean they all do the same thing. Some do lane hold, some do dmg, some doesn't do shits so you have to consider judging them base on their kits, not class

[robust thistle]

Whatever guide youre following, stop followin it

[serene marlin]

🫡

[split sphinx]

"Guide online for powerlevel" is this how we call tier lists now

[serene marlin]

rip pockettactics

[robust thistle]

If they said lapp is even remotely similar to SA on power level then its laughable

[craggy belfry]

Who should I pick?

[robust thistle]

Pocket tactics sounds like an AI generated article site

[serene marlin]

well it has a little more info than tier lists but its basically that tbh
i was trying to use it to see what characters to keep a look out for

[ivory terrace]

it's either SA1 or saria
pick one

[robust thistle]

Saria, or the normal silverash

[slender temple]

Should still be better then deadass asking GPT about META

[robust thistle]

Whats the difference, both are AIgen

[split sphinx]

Leaning saria, but might still be sash

[robust thistle]

Its garbage vs rubbish

[serene marlin]

theyre both bad?

i thought they were both pretty good

[slender temple]

Don't expect anything game-related from AI, especially stuffs like current meta

[knotty wave]

theyre okay in your account state + theyre free so just grab the lesser of evil

[robust thistle]

Dude whatever pocket tactics is doing, dont touch it with a 10feet pole, I just saw it and it reeks

[split sphinx]

Dont expect any good info on niche/specific things from AI

[robust thistle]

Dumbing down operators to a single letter rating is very reductive

Ah yes hoshialt is S tier and eunectes is A tier
Very informative

[split sphinx]

Eunectes A tier ah yes

[robust thistle]

Wait until you see eunectes is borderline unusable on any content whatsoever

[robust thistle]

I shit you not, thats what the site says

[elfin loom]

anyone getting the bug in the new event where the round wont end even tho u cleared everything?

[toxic oyster]

Is Bassline worth building?

[hoary bramble]

is wisdael good for early story borrow?

[left haven]

So uhhh can anyone explain me how to trim current new event medal? I’m confused with the requirements

[brazen gulch]

leithanienknights defender iirc, other than that nah, gummy will suffice

[brazen gulch]

if she does the job, sure, why not. she's strong and comfy, but you might start overrelying on her to ignore game mechanics so be careful around that

[vagrant juniper]

Yes but overkill, do it if you want to fast game the majority of main story but you won't learn to deal with mechanics due to unga bunga habits

[hoary bramble]

so it's better to use my own units to get a better understanding in team building and mechanics?

[icy condor]

who should i pick as the third op in the current banner besides trag and ulpi

[timber finch]

zuo le's not that bad
need investment but he can be great

blaze alter if you got yu is decent too

[icy condor]

i don't have yu as of currently speaking

[vagrant juniper]

Flipping the enemies?

[runic willow]

Personal choice
I'd start with own units until it actually get impossible

But if u wanna brain off or no time shoot your shot

[left haven]

No no. The new event. Stronghold Protocol

[vagrant juniper]

Oh

[verbal tangle]

Is it recommended to buy these instead of waiting for a good op

[hot scarab]

Does Tragodia's cat trigger SAlter S2..?

[slender temple]

Buy them when you need them

[timber finch]

It's not an operator, no

[brazen gulch]

"blaze is only usable with yu" is a huge misconception. she's obviously not as strong as lots of other casters alone, but she very well qualifies for "decent"

[worldly sky]

which surfer skill for is5 and do I e2 her

[hot scarab]

Does that mean summon and dollkeeper's skill wont trigger as well...?

[timber finch]

im no tsaying she's only useable with yu, but she's really decent only with her at this point of art dps

@hot scarab it works for operators only

[vestal pine]

is it possible for ines s2 atk buff to combo with sa2 s2 like with ulpianus and ascalon?

[hidden wolf]

Is zuo le trash

[tawny thicket]

is weedy good

[hidden wolf]

Shes the best option

U have no choice. Pick her

[tawny thicket]

[runic rain]

very gud for is3 high diff and cc

[glad yew]

how good is virtuosa? i have 300 of the tokens from headhunting and wondering who to get. I should probably get wisadel because kaboom but i love virtuosa as a character

[runic rain]

shes not that great just get wis bro

[worldly carbon]

it would be very very unwise not to get wisadel

[glad yew]

aight fair haha

[dense anvil]

We will tell you what's optimal, but ultimately it's up to you

[glad yew]

no no thats fine, i appreciate it

[worldly carbon]

virtuosa's DPS is like 700
the one advantage is that if an enemy has 90% damage reduction her DPS is still 700

[hidden wolf]

How good is zuole?

[glad yew]

i seeee, eh i’ll get virt later then

[hidden wolf]

If i dont have both ulpi and trag should i pull

[slender temple]

Could possibly try for the first 6* but that depends on how many pulls you got, if broke rather save for Wang

[hidden wolf]

110 pull rn

[slender temple]

I'd save ngl

[civic drum]

Hello, this is my team. Is it worth to pull on the orienteering banner or should I wait for the next limited banner?

[hidden wolf]

How many pull u got

[civic drum]

New player and pulled 60 on silverash so none right now

[proven swan]

should i go for these op? i don't have any of them, but i'm pretty much an endgame player, it's kinda need no need situation. are they game changing enough to get?

[worldly carbon]

save, my child

[hidden wolf]

Save

[civic drum]

Got it. Thanks

[hidden wolf]

U got so many 6 star already wth

[wraith sentinel]

Tragodia definitely is game-changing, and Ulpianus is pretty good too. Zuo Le is decent.

[civic drum]

I rerolled for silverash2 and got lucky on the account

[slender temple]

Save, TraGODia is there but I wouldn't rist 1/3 chance to get him, could've just wait for his rerun

[proven swan]

ah okay then

[civic drum]

After how many months/year after the release of a standard character before they show up in the shop?

[hoary bramble]

what dmg type is effective against this? arts?

[proven swan]

what about kernel banner? i have like 30 free tickets, so... i might as well just pull(?)

[slender temple]

Roughly 2 years for one to enter cert shop

[hoary bramble]

is there a filter in operator tab on who does arts dmg?

[civic drum]

Is there someone in the near future worth buying? I currently have 110 distinctions

[brazen gulch]

iirc it's orienteering right now, so you'll need to show us what you chose or your available options if you haven't yet

[slender temple]

Ascalon and Logos incoming

[vestal pine]

can ines s2 work with sa2 s2? cuz its 15/20 sp cost and sa2 gives +4 sp with his talent, so the atk boost from ines s2 can benefit the slashes like ulpianus right?

[brazen gulch]

30 pulls is still not an amazing chance for a 6* regardless though

[slender temple]

It is but the dmg is not comparable to Ulpi, and also it's just a flashy move to pull off. Not a typical way to play with his S2

[civic drum]

Is logos worth it if I already have pramanix2, virtuoso, and necrass?

[grizzled galleon]

do my melee unit actually teleport or is it only in tutorial?

[wild cedar]

It's the effect of "raid" alliance you activated

[grizzled galleon]

oh kk

[median fable]

Orienteering Banner F.A.Q.

Banner Choices

• 6☆ Operators: Choose between Stainless, Tragodia, Ulpianus, Blaze the Igniting Spark, Zuo Le, and Swire the Elegant Wit.
• 5☆ Operators: Choose between Gracebearer, Paprika, Firewhistle, Surfer, Nowell, and Bassline.

Banner Overview

Orienteering banners have the characteristic that the 6☆ you select will be the only pullable operators, removing the chance to offrate someone else.

The 6☆ offer in this specific banner consists of one of the best operators in the game (Tragodia), a really good one (Ulpianus), and a solid one (Zuo Le). The rest aren't worth mentioning since they lack consistent and good usage.

The 5☆ offer is way more solid, especially for a new player: Surfer is a really good Vanguard (especially if you lack Ines and Silverash2), Gracebearer has one of the best damage outputs for her rarity and will definitely help in early game, Bassline is a solid Guardian for people who don't own Nearl, Saria, or Shu, and Paprika is a good operator in base for the Shamare+Tequila combo as the tailoring operator (the other ones are hard to get).

Should I pull on this banner?

I'd consider pulling on this banner ONLY if you have more than 150 pulls AND if you lack both Ulpianus and Tragodia

• If you own Tragodia and want Ulpianus, you can just wait later this year and redeem him from the gold cert shop (he will mark 2 years since debut in December 2026).
• If you own Ulpianus and want Tragodia, you can wait later this year and try to get him from his rerun banner. This is especially good since in the next 6 months, the good banners are scarce and few are truly worth pulling from, making it easy to save for him.

Even if you pull on this banner remember that you should stop at the first 6☆ you get, no matter who it is, the chance to get a duplicate is high enough that it's a sink of resources

Banner Composition

6☆ Operators

You'll select Tragodia and Ulpianus as your first two choices. For the third 6☆, the priority order is:

• Zuo Le >> Blaze the Igniting Spark >> Swire the Elegant Wit >> Stainless

5☆ Operators

The choices are more complicated:

1. Surfer – Even if you already own her, consider picking her again; you'll get potential tokens (pots) which are good for her, and some gold certificates.
2. Max potential operator – Pick an operator you already have at max potential to get more gold certificates from duplicates.
3. Gracebearer if you're a new player and lack DPS operators, and/or Bassline if you lack Nearl, Saria, or Shu.
4. Paprika – For base skill reasons (refer to the Shamare combo in the base combo file). Even if you don't own Shamare, pick Paprika now so you won't have to deal with a missing component of that base skill you'll one day use.

Who should I reroll for?

Tragodia

@turbid ocean here the results of my unpaid labour

[ancient current]

evicted for spam

[severe crypt]

Jj text bomb

[wild cedar]

lmao

[median fable]

as always, for any feedback or sth you disagree just ping me

[severe crypt]

People will be able to read this right 🥹

[civic drum]

What vanguard is the best with silverash2? I dont even have myrtle now so Im trying to get her from recruitment

[severe crypt]

Honestly he’s meant to be run solo

[median fable]

I formatted it especially for people who won't read

[civic drum]

With skill 2?

[median fable]

AK is a game where the less vanguards you bring the better it is
Silverash2 is enough on his own and you don't need to bring another vanguard in 99% of the cases, use his s3

[severe crypt]

Well s3 for general use and s2 mainly for is, tho s2 can be used generally too, takes more skill

[faint quarry]

should you use ceobe in the new stronghold protocol?

[median fable]

ideally you can also just don't use any vanguard

[ancient current]

you won't let me shill firewhistle will you
(anyways grace/bassline/surfer is just plain better)

[civic drum]

Im a new player so I still cant use skill 3

[wild cedar]

The def of the enemies aren't high enough and she can't stack alliance levels

[surreal sphinx]

how do you get more pulls besides dailies/weeklies/annihilation/events/first-time clear rewards? How often can you realistically pity a character as a only monthly pass buyer?

[slender temple]

Same as how you only bring one type of Sun producer in PvZ, not 2 or 3 cuz it's overkill

[severe crypt]

Well then s2 till you e2 him then

[median fable]

I actually would, I can mention her as 5th option
in any other banner she would actually be solid but there are just better 5* this time around

[ancient current]

pretty much

[median fable]

she would have been one of the main options in the previous orienteering

[civic drum]

Should I prioritize his E2 over pramanix2?

[median fable]

the previous pools were so 🚮

[slender temple]

Always prioritize your DPS first before anything

[civic drum]

Oki, got it

[median fable]

only first orienteering had something good. Canta/Bassline/Paprika

[scenic marsh]

Hello, everyone. I just got back to arknights, and I started again as i lost my account lol. May I ask who should I pull in the kernel locator if it is advisable to pull? I tried searching the internet but i cannot find a result. Thank you all in advance.

[serene marlin]

am i suppose to level up his s1?

[slender temple]

Don't pull on Karnel, they're all outdated operators

[sacred cave]

Guys when are we next gonna have the standard selector pack in shop again

[slender temple]

Leveling up skill applies to all of the operator's skill up until lvl7

[serene marlin]

oh thats peak

[frosty flame]

You dont level up skills individually till masteries after level 7, leveling up skills before that levels up all of em

[wraith sentinel]

You can buy pulls with Distinction Certificates (38 for 258) for example.

[grizzled galleon]

unless its masteries lvling up skills apply to everything

[long mantle]

Horn worth raising nowadays?

[urban sleet]

Only if new

[surreal sphinx]

should I do that or wait for a good operator to buy with certificates instead?

[worldly fern]

so I got ulpianus, should I go for tragodia?

[urban sleet]

Stop after ome 6 starz dont risk your wang savings

[sacred cave]

Welp pls

[slender temple]

It's a gamble of 1/3 yet again, should stop here

[urban sleet]

admitted I went beyond first 6 star but I have a lot of pulls+got first 6 star in first 10

[grizzled galleon]

why is my kjera already elite 2? in event gamemode

[hidden wolf]

So how many pulls can we earn from now til wang banner if we dont count first clear stages

[long mantle]

What about Typhon

[urban sleet]

150-200, including from events tho

[inland osprey]

anyone already got some broken alliance tag in stronghold?

[urban sleet]

Can raise if new

[serene marlin]

is astesia any good?

[urban sleet]

[hidden wolf]

Who did u get

[urban sleet]

Blaze2 and ulpi in 30

Do not copy this act tho

[serene marlin]

i also got lapunma

[urban sleet]

She good

[ancient current]

very bad

[urban sleet]

Wait is this from kernel locating?

[serene marlin]

yeah i am new and im doing my guarenteed 6* 10x pull

i got astesia and la pluma as 5*

[urban sleet]

Oh beginner banner phew (if only you started few hrs ewrlier, welp)

[hidden wolf]

Who should i pick for kernel locating

[urban sleet]

Ignore that banner

[slate ridge]

got Wind Chimes mod available ?

[serene marlin]

i got mountain as my 6*, is he any good? he looks cool

[ancient current]

m6 mod3 p6

[slate ridge]

send it please

[ancient current]

ReChord#9454

[hidden wolf]

Gotta use the free pulls

[ancient current]

forgot if i have you

[urban sleet]

Not the best one in beginner bqnner but uh can suffice for early stages

[inland osprey]

anyone new and miss sash2 banner could try their luck with stronghold banner, they got some pretty good ops there

[urban sleet]

Save for a better kernel locating

[slender temple]

He's fine for a beginner, works at E1 but he'll eventually get overwhelmed in harder stages

[grizzled galleon]

bro why does my luck suck in the event is it based on smth external or smth?

[serene marlin]

who should i pick for these? brand new account

[ancient current]

surfer gracebearer bassline

[serene marlin]

[inland osprey]

surfer

[hidden wolf]

Have u guys got the reward from the survey

[urban sleet]

Now educate me about bassline I picked bassline as one kd the 5 stars since he waa good in your tierlist and got him asw

[hidden wolf]

What tier list

[random steppe]

i started the game 4 days ago, is there any recommendation select from the selector banner?

[ancient current]

@slate ridge added and set, gl

[ancient current]

nearl but better

[urban sleet]

[slender temple]

Tragodia Ulpianus and Zuo Le, check pins for more detailed explanation

[random steppe]

ty

[ancient current]

I was almost going to say nearl but not shit

[urban sleet]

Its okay there are no nearl simps in chat

[vale rampart]

hey guys so I got ulpi, which skill does he use and which mod do I need to max ?

[ancient current]

s3m3, modless is fine but mod1 if you like

[alpine lance]

Can someone give me a list of DEF and HP buffers for other ops?

[ancient current]

https://tomimi.dev

[vale rampart]

also do I need to build gladia for him ?

[urban sleet]

Both or either?

[hoary ruin]

Does the Wang banner come with another paid selector for standard units? Or do we only get those during celebration banners?

[ancient current]

no. she helps him but nowhere near necessary

[urban sleet]

Dare I say gladiia is a waste of slot instead

[alpine lance]

I meant the operator

[vale rampart]

cool alright guys thanks for the help I wanted to get trag but I guess ulpi is also fine

[urban sleet]

Yeah stop at one 6 star

[vale rampart]

yeah i didn’t want to lose my pulls for wang and it doesn’t make sense to pull for one more

[viral kayak]

Who should I pick?

[wraith sentinel]

Can save up, just buy the pulls when you really need them.

[random steppe]

im kinda confused aswell since in the pinned i cant find it

[urban sleet]

are pins not updated

[slender temple]

Oh wait it's not in the pins?

[random steppe]

mostlikely not

[urban sleet]

Anyways its tragodia/ulpianus/zuo le for 6 stars

[alpine lance]

Nvm, I didn't know tomimi had a tool like that

[wild cedar]

It is about to be pinned I think

[ancient current]

that is the primary reason we link tomimi

nobody links tomimi for IS

[wild cedar]

bleh light did it already, nvm

[alpine lance]

Ye sry, I mostly use it for IS, so misunderstood

[wild cedar]

Do we know who is responsible for pins in the #stronghold-hall

[ancient current]

well, infinity has the pin there

but any of us can

[random steppe]

Can we pin this aswell? till the banned ends?

[hidden wolf]

What skill for shu

[ancient current]

s3

[hoary ruin]

It is pinned wdym?

Oh you meant my screenshot lol

[random steppe]

it is pinned but there is gonna be newbies like me being confused

[wild cedar]

Would you mind pining this? I will revise it when different opinion comes up #stronghold-hall message

[wraith shoal]

zuo le modx1 and s3m3?

[ancient current]

modx3 s3m3

mod is most important

[wild cedar]

thx Rechord

[random shard]

trag not worth taking to mod3 if you go to 88/90 or mod2 just a minimum?

[foggy moss]

any priority picks from here? finding it hard to choose.
been thinking through a couple options, maybe fedex or entelechia?
i dont have lappalter so goldenglow may be nice.
i have leizi alter but i wouldnt be opposed to mlynar cause i like his va lol
also considering maybe hoederer, degen, ray, or narantuya
idk - completely undecided

[random shard]

Mylnar

[ancient current]

mlynar seems like a good pick

[random shard]

Even with Leizi, why not more damage

[slate ridge]

how about Laios ?

[lyric lagoon]

if you alr have him at lvl88, then mod2 is a good stopping point for his one cat proc on elites/bosses

[elfin loom]

whats the best strat for hte new event?

[opaque flame]

mlynar

[ancient current]

nope sorry
what are you trying to do

[hoary ruin]

I have Leizi2 and I picked Mlynar off that selector. Basically gives you two units that can just shut down an entire enemy lane by themselves. Super comfy imo.

[ancient current]

the only collab operators i've built are ash, ncd and luo xiaohei
that's it

[opaque flame]

can u get module data block playing IS?

[slate ridge]

just finishing my SA2 doc for inconsistency

[ancient current]

yes

battlepass has some

[hidden wolf]

What skill for sash

[opaque flame]

any IS?

[lyric lagoon]

you can also play ra for mod blocks as well

[ancient current]

iirc only the last two got some?
forgot honestly

maybe is4 has some too

[hoary bramble]

this is the highest xp record right?

[ancient current]

yes

[serene marlin]

why is la pluma good?

[frozen dawn]

who

[lyric lagoon]

3

[abstract mauve]

good for new player

[hidden wolf]

I mean sash2

[opaque flame]

already finished that drill or what it is name that reward only one time clear

[ancient current]

good laneholder for early game

[serene marlin]

gotcha

[lyric lagoon]

still 3 unless you’re playing a team centred around his s2

[opaque flame]

aight got it

[real wedge]

s2 or s3 for pramanix alt?

s2

[opaque flame]

s2 afk

s2 pram alter hit like 3k+ dmg if ur pram alter is lvl 90 s2m3

[real wedge]

okay tysmm

[real wedge]

okayy thank youu

[haughty zenith]

Yo sorry but i'm still confused about banners. the Orien banner pity will carry over to other standard banners right?

[ancient current]

orienteering is still a standard banner, it's listed as standard and carry-able pity in roadless camelot's shared pity guide

[wraith shoal]

is it such a big boost to his survivability?

[ancient current]

skill cycling

[lyric lagoon]

zuo is all about skill spamming to stay alive while being on life support

[haughty zenith]

i did read it but i still wanted to make sure lol I don't want to waste pulls but i really want Firewhistle. Also want Paprika for base since i need a lot more operators for that

[opaque flame]

do u need to build 4* units to play IS?

[ancient current]

if you want survivability on your zuo le you use the worse mod, but if he's dying he isn't the solution to your problem
spamming skill is better

[ancient current]

not exactly absolutely necessary but very much recommended, it makes runs so much easier

[opaque flame]

aight got it

[dire jacinth]

Guys, How can I know if the enemy attack is physical or arts damage?

[nova nest]

You could ignore them, though it would reduce success rate of your runs

For example, Gummy is the most picked defender in IS6

[light latch]

look at the enemy info menu?

[haughty zenith]

are they usable at e1?

[ancient current]

most of them yes

only one who realistically really needs e2 is ethan, for mod3 s2m3

[dense walrus]

which ops are in the 7th anniversary selector?

[haughty zenith]

thanks

[lyric lagoon]

surtr, saileach, mudrock, mizuki, pozy, reed alter, passenger, and suzu

[ancient current]

it's always written next to the enemy icon in enemy info

[nova nest]

They are not only usable, but it is likely adviced not to use resources on E2-ing them

You want them for their free hope E1Max, but using extra vouchers is usually not as useful as getting something good

[haughty zenith]

my account is only 2 weeks old and i've been struggling hard in IS so i thought maybe leveling some key 4 star characters would be helpful. or maybe i'll try other IS rather than IS6

[hidden wolf]

Where can i find s4-10 stage

[urban sleet]

Some 4 stars yes, e1 max enough for most tho

[dire jacinth]

It shows what they're most weak against and their attack power like A A+ etc. But I can't see the type of the attack

[lyric lagoon]

chapter 4 of main story

[urban sleet]

4 stars may help in IS but they dont solve IS on their own you can cheesegrind IS5 with wisadel borroe and lamp of wishes tho

[nova nest]

Then stray away from E2-ing 4 stars, the already mentioned Ethan not only wants E2, but also his module, which is a lot to invest into one non-key operator

[lyric lagoon]

read under their name, it says their attack range type and damage type

[vivid yew]

are these husbandos must have ops?

[haughty zenith]

All roads lead to Wissadel for new players huh lol

[dire jacinth]

Oh Ok. Thanks.

[ancient current]

nobody is a must have but ulpi and trag are very good
zuo le is solid

don't pull by the way

[nova nest]

IS6 is likely the best IS for new player due to specific buffs Raidian receives in this mode, once you figure her out and level her some you'll be able to breeze through it

[haughty zenith]

i'll start working on her as soon as possible thanks!

[unreal garden]

Is 60 the pity for orientation banner?

[turbid ocean]

IS5 is the actual best IS for new players because Lamp lets you abuse the shit out of the entire mode
IS5 lets you cheese entire runs in 10 minutes

[lyric lagoon]

50 is the start of standard soft pity, other than that there’s no pity

[nova nest]

Should you have any questions, you can write me in DMs, I've started playing like 3 months ago and faced similar issues with IS6 at first!

[arctic hawk]

Maybe the blind shouldn't lead the blind

[haughty zenith]

dude i really apreciate that!

[lyric lagoon]

better off just asking here or #is-station

[arctic hawk]

You should keep messages in the chat so experienced players helpers can give input

[haughty zenith]

sure

[keen hedge]

Hello, Swire Alter is good for Integrated Strategies?

[hidden wolf]

Can i keep surtr alive indefinitely while using s3

[arctic hawk]

Not to dunk on that guy but 3 months is not enough time
Maybe if they were very active in this channel for 3 months straight

[nova nest]

Just put 10 medics on her

[lyric lagoon]

she’s decent but there’s a lot more better picks for specialist voucher

[arctic hawk]

Need 5 or 6 of the best healers in the game
But its very awful strat

Its a meme, search surtr hospital on youtube

[chrome epoch]

are there any potential upcoming shoperators to look out for

okk

[urban sleet]

#is-station message

By an IS dalao

[keen hedge]

Would she be a better pick than Texas Alter in general?

[turbid ocean]

Depends on the IS
But Swire2 is technically better

[proud torrent]

Any whale got a high invested ling that i can borrow to try out?

[wraith shoal]

#friend-id

[urban sleet]

Surely you will find some in #friend-id , this doesnt sound urgent enough anyways

[real wedge]

what skill should I use for silverash alt?

[severe crypt]

S3 generally

[chrome epoch]

s3 if you're not looking to sweat

[real wedge]

okayy tyam guys

[urban sleet]

My recommendation is whichever you are comfortable with

Just uhhh...dont follow yt memeslop with his s2

[worldly zealot]

is having tragodia and virtuosa on one squad redundant if im not playing a specific element team(i do have logos on team though)

[real wedge]

alrightt, thank youu

[buoyant sigil]

So… any general tips for the emperor’s blade in a walk in the dust? Just so I can get a lead on what to do, well

[urban sleet]

Reading as always

[buoyant sigil]

I have read

[urban sleet]

Wait is this for ex or wd-10

[chrome epoch]

yeah.. virtuosa lags behind a lot by herself

[marble trout]

I understand part "beat 3 simulation" because it mean all 3 difficulties but what is strategy?

[keen osprey]

Is it worth it to max ptilopsis module?

[lyric lagoon]

stay out of the fog unless your name is leizialt with s1

[urban sleet]

Any 1 strategy but it mist be the same for all 3 difficulties

[buoyant sigil]

Tbf I could probably beat it if I could try hard enough but uhh yes wd-8 (last stage)

[marble trout]

its the character which i choose at the beginning?

[urban sleet]

Back in the day I used jaye and schwarz
But in general yeah what nao said

[buoyant sigil]

Thing

[nova nest]

Are you talking about regular stage?

I've found that you don't want to phase him just whenever, you want to pick and choose when you deal enough damage so he doesn't explode everybody

[buoyant sigil]

Do I bait the fog with gravel

[keen osprey]

Is it worth to m3 ptilopsis s2?

[urban sleet]

I havent touched SP yet thats just what I comprehended from whats mentioned and from past medal requirements

[inland osprey]

yes

[slate ridge]

fart targets highest damage done

[marble trout]

oh boy... which one is the best? Amiya was the best for me

[wild cedar]

strategy is the thing you choose right when you open a game

[chrome epoch]

not really

[urban sleet]

Ideally you keep her e1 max dont invest further

[keen osprey]

Alright thanks guys

[wild cedar]

Amiya is great strategy

[chrome epoch]

ptilopsis usually isnt someone you go for if you want healing anyways... she's just an sp battery that also heals decently

[nova nest]

Oh, I've checked my replay and I actually beat him by baiting smoke to the top side it seems, so maybe that'll give you an idea

[inland osprey]

id used orchid , and ngl its pretty nice

[inland osprey]

looking at my e2 ptilo

[lyric lagoon]

you’d either have to bait her with someone that has long range and deals a decent amount of damage or the leizialt, personally i’d just leizialt s1 the stage (also why are you doing this side story when we have an ongoing event)

[keen osprey]

Should I invest on three Healing unit (ptilopsis included)

[nova nest]

Maybe man wants to play the video game

But yea, it's advised to use sanity on event

(Walk in the Dust is such an awesome side story!)

[urban sleet]

Play IS

[lyric lagoon]

we literally have stronghold protocol rn

[woven canyon]

dang my favorite game mode is back

[urban sleet]

Or yk touch grass or play some other game like not exploiting the higher drop rates rn just leads to more grinding later

[inland osprey]

if you got haruka she alone can do the job

[lyric lagoon]

well well well…isn’t if it of the actions isn’t consequences my

[buoyant sigil]

Wait, since he targets someone to place the fog, can I just bait it with gravel if it’s last deployed

[keen osprey]

I don't have haruka

[lyric lagoon]

fog spawns on highest damage dealt, we already said this

[buoyant sigil]

Oh sad
Mb forgot

I’ll figure something out I guess

[inland osprey]

generally u want a single and an aor medic , thats the only 2 u needed , as for the others they are pretty niche , and most convenient medic could keep you healthy enough for most stages

[keen osprey]

I have mon3tr tho is she a good alternative?

[inland osprey]

excpet talulah , boi oh boi, u really need nightingale for that , well me hate borrowing ng , so i just outheal it with ptilo and saria s3

[inland osprey]

yeah shes good

on H15-4 mon3tr could deal with mimic bosses alone

[keen osprey]

Thankss

[grizzled galleon]

are the operators you get in event based on what you own?

[limpid yarrow]

yes

[grizzled galleon]

aight

[orchid kite]

Did limited banner end already

[ancient current]

yes

[orchid kite]

Fawk

[grizzled galleon]

what were you doing gang

[wraith shoal]

you had two whole weeks

[grizzled galleon]

even i was able to pull last day

[hoary bramble]

who is this lady

[modern gust]

whistle or bass?

[ancient current]

where does she even appear

[hoary bramble]

beginner roadmap

[ancient current]

would say bassline, depends on roster though

[modern gust]

I got saria

[ancient current]

what was that again

[ancient current]

firewhistle then

[hoary bramble]

roadless camelot

[ancient current]

ah

is that not just fae's waifus showing up

don't recognise her unless that's a weirdly geared out lucilla
probably from another game lemme check

[wraith sentinel]

Aemeath from Wuthering Waves I believe.

[wind blade]

non zero chance it's an unrelated anime girl

[ancient current]

figured

[hoary bramble]

should i gamba a little on orienting banner? or skip and save for something better which i have no idea who that would be

[ancient current]

no

too little pulls

save for wang in about 3 months

[hoary bramble]

also why is reception room lvl 3 a brick?

[worldly hornet]

Hypothetically what if like you don't really like wang's gameplay and see him as an overtuned mad lad

[ancient current]

it's useless and drains power from left side facilities (the not shit ones)

(you also can't downgrade right side facilities)

[valid stream]

yeah don't make the same mistake i did (i'm cooked)

[worldly hornet]

Only redeeming factor he reminds me of Jia qu

[woeful mesa]

Does IS2s Jetman spawn anymore? Or is it just poor RNG

Been back like two months and not got the Jetman boss fight a single time. Been getting the others though (Lost Collassus, Frost Doe, the big monster guy I forget the name of, and Fatal melodies)

And I've been doing a lot of IS2 runs lately to try and clear old endings and complete the unlock chart. (Once I'm finished with IS2 I'ma move on to the others and do the same there too)

[hidden wolf]

Shu s3 right

[lyric lagoon]

save for daughter alter in about 6 months

[spark sage]

I am lvl 7 rn, can i clear the stronghold protocol?

[frosty flame]

You get operators to borrow and they have independent stats, p handily

[tawny linden]

Guys it's just for backup claim but how many minutes do you wait again to gain the sanity back when you go from 0 to maximum limit? I'm too lazy to log in so I'll just ask

Chat must be asleep

[woeful kestrel]

do we have a channel strictly for Stronghold?

[worldly carbon]

#stronghold-hall

[woeful mesa]

Naw, server just crashed.

I think its like 10 minutes for 1 sanity back?

[tawny linden]

Actually I was wrong it was a indeed server issues I also experienced it. Also thanks.

[worldly carbon]

6 minutes
you can check this in-game

[ancient current]

sigh

[chilly vigil]

What to buy from observatory support division event shop for a new account?

[wraith shoal]

Everything. Get all pots and the mats. Furniture should be last.

[spark sage]

What should i buy from here? I am new

[wraith shoal]

Pulls first. Pots then. Materials after that and at the end get the furniture

[void spire]

Why the quest doesnt complete if with the two dormitories i have more than 3000 ambience? Or i need 3000 ambience in every dormitory?

[spark sage]

Can i get everything? I dont think i can clear more stages

[wraith shoal]

Your dorms need to be upgraded to be able to have more ambiance

[wraith shoal]

If you farm it enough yes. You can redo the normal stages to get the currency

[granite needle]

What guard should I borrow in IS-6? Ulpianus?

[wraith shoal]

Don't borrow a 6 star guard. Borrow a tragodia

[flint onyx]

Two questions. As orienting is part of standart banner pool, does the pity save after it? And how often do we get events that give us the the e2/m3/max level vouchers, especially some like during sakiko banner?

[granite needle]

Unfortunatly not an option anymore

[wraith shoal]

Then borrow a lappland idk. You don't have enough hope for 2 6 stars anyway

[wraith shoal]

Raidian was free? Oh well then borrow sakiko maybe. Definitely not ulpi

[languid swallow]

how smart are people in this auto-chess gamemode for co-op

[median fable]

time to restart the run

[granite needle]

cost 1 hope and i got that kettle thing

[spark sage]

Which stage to farm?

[wraith shoal]

7 and 8

[spark sage]

7 kills me

I completed it with lap alter

[sacred flume]

80% of mobs in that stage off themselves

[spark sage]

Yes but the shell guys dont die

[sacred flume]

Just use the tool

[spark sage]

What does it do

[sacred flume]

And activate the shrines manually... did you not read the stage tutorials

[spark sage]

[spark sage]

I am not wearing my glasses rn mb

[oblique grail]

Is wang best operator as for now?

[worldly estuary]

What difficulty, ending and squad are you playing

[worldly hornet]

There isn't a "best" operator

[granite needle]

Need my third scroll of scars, so im just running difficulty 6

[worldly hornet]

There are great Operators for different niches and stuff

He is a great burst Dps for sure on par with Walter

[worldly estuary]

Either Tragodia, wis or exu2 start are fine for lower diff

Check the pinned guides in #is-station btw

[oblique grail]

If it was bettwen them who would've been better pick

[ancient lotus]

depends on the situation

[worldly hornet]

Well it also depends he is arts she is physical
Pretty much depends on what you need and how many res the enemies got

[worldly estuary]

And map layout too
Well, you can place wang’s bombs in ranged tiles tho

[granite needle]

🫡 that channel isnt on my discord panel for some reason
Got Wis on my account somehow so gonna get Tragodia for dot checks (fuckass shards)

[worldly estuary]

Oh, well, there’s tons of info there. There’s a guide for maxing Raidian in is6 too

[oblique grail]

It just that someone said they wanted to try arknights and i recommended to save for wang so was curious how relevant this advice was

[winter lynx]

just missed an insane banner ngl

[flat hamlet]

Do the S stages open only after EX-8 is beaten?

[oblique grail]

I think with way arknights now they gonna scale banners higher and higher so idk if it's that insane of a miss

[ancient lotus]

i dont see the relevance of that advice with wang vs wis

they are not on the same banner anyway, and getting wis takes a spark while getting wang might not. Either way, saving for Wang is not a bad advice

[oblique grail]

Original question was is wang still one of best

[ancient lotus]

yes

[wraith shoal]

They aren't open yet and no,they open after beating the normal stages

[winter lynx]

wis, pram2, and sa2 all in one banner? it was an insane miss

[oblique grail]

wis came later for annology of his niche

[ancient lotus]

sure

[balmy ingot]

Do I skip this like kernel or is it worth pulling

[oblique grail]

Just wait for skadi alter alter to powercreep it

[raw wigeon]

you look poor so skip

[worldly estuary]

You can check how op is wang by searching “wang Arknights” in YouTube
Basically he’s very versatile and has infinite traps that deals tons of damage

[sacred flume]

Mostly skip because of how much the other units weigh Ulpianus and Tragodia down

[winter lynx]

doesn't matter, you're asking about the state of starting right now and telling a new player to wait for 3 months

i started with 3 days left on sa2 banner

[serene marlin]

are any of the operators in the paid selector pack good?

[winter lynx]

grabbed all 3 in 81 pulls, and now i can save till wang

[oblique grail]

They also don't wanna play right now

That's why i said wang good point

[winter lynx]

then what's the point in "saving", what is bro saving? download space? just wait for wang release and start there

[flat hamlet]

Okay, perfect thanks! Only left to beat os-ex-8, so wasn't sure

[oblique grail]

ig

[winter lynx]

just reroll during wang banner, no point if he doesn't even wanna play

[sacred flume]

If you're new it's something like Mlynar > Ines > Mon3tr > Ascalon/Ulpianus > Logos

[worldly estuary]

What options are left? The entire 3 rows aren’t worth $30

[oblique grail]

is any operator worth 30$

[worldly estuary]

That’s relative

[safe tundra]

depends

[slim dove]

is pram alter better then logos?

[winter lynx]

shu is worth my entire mortgage, where is she

[sacred flume]

Arbitrary, people who spend won't care about the $ value

[worldly estuary]

🐳

[raw wigeon]

if you're buying anything more than monthly card then sure $30 is a really good deal

[winter lynx]

that's exactly how we think

[oblique grail]

depens on fish or a whale

[winter lynx]

ik sa is most rec'd here but does that change depending on my current box?

[median fable]

no, it doesn't
Silverash is the best one

[winter lynx]

sad times

[worldly estuary]

So you don’t own any of them, then what Rozeia said is more relevant:

If you're new it's something like Mlynar > Ines > Mon3tr > Ascalon/Ulpianus > Logos

[oblique grail]

I know sounds silly with my numbers but it's a skip right

[serene marlin]

yeah im brand new, this is what i have so far. ive progressed to 1-2, bouta start my grind

[sacred flume]

Get mlynar and you're off to a great start

[serene marlin]

what does mlynar do? i got to try ines and shes really cool

[winter lynx]

are we sure gang

[median fable]

I'm obv lying to you

[winter lynx]

i already have one too many sa

[frank wing]

place him down, wait until he is charged, use skill and he kills everything on the map. He needs e2 to be good

[median fable]

yeah, Silverash is still the best

[void spire]

They are at lvl 2

[winter lynx]

ugh, alr, i'll grab him anyways

[worldly estuary]

Mlynar is a liberator, he doesn’t do nothing offskill (when his skill isn’t active) and when his skill charges and you click it, it liberates tons of damage

[oblique grail]

I was not familiar with mlynar game

was thinking his priority around ulpianus level

[median fable]

but maybe someone who started playing less than two weeks ago knows more than someone who played for 6 years

[hidden wolf]

https://youtube.com/shorts/SS2U3in_2xs?si=yAZVoc2jWxh7_C_J what skill to group em like this

[frank wing]

Mlynar also has increased taunt, and he can take a bunch of damage

[serene marlin]

hmm okay. i think i will progress the gacha a bit further and see what i get before deciding if i want to buy the pack or not. thats probably the best pack i can buy anyways, right? for 30 dollars

[median fable]

having an alter literally has 0 relevance

[winter lynx]

not at all, i just don't want more silverash to look at

[pale pebble]

Wait why isnt ulpianus/tragodia good?

[frank wing]

yeah that's the best pack I think

[winter lynx]

but if the objective performance outweighs the ugly looks that much, i'll pick him

[flint onyx]

Need an answer for this one

[worldly estuary]

Zuo le isn’t really good compared to trag/ulp/mlynar (which was originally released in cn) and going 2/3 is too much gamble when we have wang in the corner

[buoyant sigil]

Is akkord on the better end of 4 stars? She sounds pretty okay, well, at least better than the 5* counterparts to blast casters. Sounds like she can at least somewhat mitigate the clunky range of blast casters with her kit.

[sacred flume]

1. The pity carries
2. During limited banners, collab banners

[frank wing]

The problem is the other units and the rates. If you pick ulpi and trag, then let's say Blaze, you have a 33% chance to get Blaze, who is garbage. Zuo le is the best and he is quite mid. Wang is on the way soon anyways, and is a better banner.

[hidden wolf]

If u have story to farm and 100+ pulls just pull this banner imo

[pale pebble]

"Soon"
Thats like 3-6 months wdm?

[pale pebble]

I got lik12-13 multies

[frank wing]

From what ive seen on silvergun's channel, she is definitely the best arts AOE, so she probably is pretty good

[hidden wolf]

https://youtube.com/shorts/SS2U3in_2xs?si=yAZVoc2jWxh7_C_J can someone explain what happened here

[steady pine]

Did a pull and got got ulp yup im saving

[granite needle]

since the October Limited banner is considered a celebration banner, does this meant Exu2 has a chance of being sparkable? or is this not how it works?

[frank talon]

Look at 1x bit

[frank wing]

watch the slowed down version. they used high attack ops with sash2's s2 to do the slashes, then yu s2 teleported the enemies.

[severe crypt]

Exu will be speakable then

[frank talon]

Exu does have a chance of being sparked

[elfin loom]

is there a guide on the event for which strategies are best/alliences are good

[sacred flume]

She will be. Limiteds will be available to spark after 1 year exclusivity period

[frank wing]

exu2 will be sparkable in the kal2 banner

[granite needle]

🙏 this is so peak

[hidden wolf]

Who pulled the enemies from the bottom

[frank wing]

Gladiia

She was deployed at the top, and used s2

[sacred flume]

It's Pram2 s1 with Gladiia

[frank wing]

oh I didnt notice pram

[toxic oyster]

Are there any 5* Defenders worth building?

[abstract mauve]

for a normal account no
at best there's bassline

[void spire]

I have a question about banner characters and pity or coins

[eager hull]

Is this rewatchable if i skip it?

[wraith shoal]

Yes

[void spire]

For example, in the current banner, if u summon, u get 10 blue coins, that ones that are like a star, right? That coins can be used to buy the banner characters for 300 and the off banner characters for 200?

[eager hull]

Ok great
Imma just skip to ch9 so I can actually craft stuff

[abstract mauve]

i know it used to be rewatchable but it seems they changed the UI around

[frosty flame]

Only older offrate limiteds are 200 afaik

[lyric lagoon]

off rates are also 300 until they age enough

[frosty flame]

And spark currency is 1 per pull

[onyx mango]

hey guys, should i buy snow hunter's dupe (she's already maxed out) with my 160 contracts? or mats are better?

[void spire]

And, in the upcoming wang and ch'en banner, ling will be in that shop for 300 or 200?

[abstract mauve]

oh right there's just a recap button in the chapter itself

[eager hull]

Found it, just has a button labled “recap” beside the home button

[eager hull]

Buy hunter for gold certs

[void spire]

But for a 10 pull is 10 coins, right?

[frosty flame]

Ita not recommended to go out of your way to spark a character btw, no 1 limited character is worth the opportunity cost unless you really like em

[lyric lagoon]

ling will be 300

[void spire]

Its not worth to spend the coins in characters that arent the featured?

[proven kelp]

That are called the Spark System, an exclusive to the Limited Banner
Every pull is 1 currency

Yes, you can use 300 of them to buy both of the Rate Ups and other Limiteds of that banner
If the Limited is old enough, they get reduced to 200

If unused after a few days when the banner ends, they get converted into a new currency for a ratio of 1:6, those currency can be used to buy materials

[lyric lagoon]

it’s not worth pulling just to get currency to buy a certain character

[proven kelp]

Check Off Rate Limited for the list of Spark availability

[frosty flame]

Its not worth getting to that amount of coins in general unless you naturally reach that point in pursuit of the current rateups but that is really unlikely, the currency also doesnt accumulate between banners

[void spire]

I want to pull to get ch'en and probably wang too, but maybe i dont get ling with pulls, but i like a lot the character and i want to get her, thats why im asking

[lyric lagoon]

if you somehow have to go all the way to 280-300 pulls somehow to get wang, then you can buy ling, otherwise if you get chen and wang, just stop pulling

[lavish echo]

is this banner worth it?? i dont have ulpianus zuole or tragodia but i have everyone else

[proven kelp]

Just Baseline for niche purposes

Bison is okay for a generic brick, but you don't really tend to need those
Liskarm has uses if you force it enough, kinda whatever

[frosty flame]

If you really like ling, then you could go all the way to guarantee, sure, but know that you are likely sacrificing new characters for less useful dupes

[lyric lagoon]

pins

[frank wing]

are new players able to skip to chapter 15, or is it just ch9

[coarse notch]

both

[void spire]

How many pulls does usually take to get the rate up operators?

[onyx mango]

around 60 for a single 6*, and then it depends on your luck

[frosty flame]

Usual 6 star rates dont change but the rateups are 70% iirc then split because there is 2

[buoyant sigil]

Fairly sure ling decreases to 200 this banner (wang)

[void spire]

I mean in the scenario where i get ch'en and wang and i dont get ling, if i need to pity a rate up operator, first i will get the new ones

[wraith shoal]

It's dusk no?

[lyric lagoon]

about 125-126 to get one of each

[neat mirage]

wasnt there a stage exactly like this in break the ice

[buoyant sigil]

Wasn’t dusk already 200 in yu?

[frosty flame]

You are very likely to get the rateups or atleast 1 of them within even 200 pulls

[wraith shoal]

Idk wasn't playing then

[frank wing]

yeah i thought dusk was 200 in yu banner

[coarse notch]

no that was nian

[neat mirage]

which one was it again?

[void spire]

Well, i will see when the banner releases and i pull, ty all for the help

[buoyant sigil]

Oh right yeah nian

[frosty flame]

Good luck and hopefully ling spooks you as an offrate

[buoyant sigil]

Ling’s getting less off rate % though isn’t she

[void spire]

Ye, gl too

[buoyant sigil]

Neat, less ling cope

[frosty flame]

What is the oldest limited anyhow?

[neat mirage]

Nian i think

[frosty flame]

Older than W?

[coarse notch]

nian predated the spark system

[neat mirage]

yea

[frank wing]

wasn't nian's event a vignette

[buoyant sigil]

Nian released in the vignette yes

[neat mirage]

shes the only limited that had a rerun right?
cause spark didnt exist in the first run

[buoyant sigil]

Darknights memoir was after that

[frosty flame]

They still relevant usage wise?

[buoyant sigil]

Funnily enough more than ling and dusk I’d figure

[coarse notch]

w is 🚮
nian has her uses

[buoyant sigil]

Nian is still a pretty nice blocker if you ever need one

[frosty flame]

I always found ling quite the do all when borrowing

[lament loom]

Brick

[static arrow]

really? ive heard of ling being the carrier that one cc

[neat mirage]

nian is the brickiest of the bricks

[lament loom]

Pre much lol

[coarse notch]

ling wasnt carrying shit in cc

[buoyant sigil]

Eh. Too many deployment slots for very meh usability nowadays. We’re long past the point where her summons’ stats are very good (if good at all)

[real wedge]

is astgene the one we can get from the event for free is good?

[onyx mango]

r18 carry perhaps

[lament loom]

No

[lyric lagoon]

base stats wise? sure, skill wise? no

[coarse notch]

shes fine but not really worth building

[frosty flame]

Ig her value only goes down as you gain more units

[real wedge]

okayy tysm guys

[buoyant sigil]

She still works technically but you’d rather use those deployment slots for other operators rather than fat dragons

[neat mirage]

whos the current brickiest?
i just remember shes a really good one

[lament loom]

Who has highest def on skill

[lyric lagoon]

either cement or sankta blender

[real wedge]

what is the must buy from this shop?

[neat mirage]

oh yea cement
my goat

[frosty flame]

Now that I think abt it slots are more in demand now that silverash s2 is so useful

[lament loom]

Ooh, I had Cuora and Hoshi in mind.

[frosty flame]

Id say pulls then astgenne pots then lmd and everything else, but thas just me

[buoyant sigil]

Cement has the issue where though they may brick they have a wonderful… 1 block, as a duelist defender. Evidently that is not the best for a brick

[sacred flume]

Something like pulls / Astgenne pots > module blocks > exclusive furniture > whichever mats you need

[real wedge]

aaaah I see, okay tysm guys

[shut juniper]

always get the module stuff thats stuff is annoying to get outside of events

[buoyant sigil]

So you’d usually rather use a slightly less tanky one in exchange for keeping in place more enemies. Cement ends up being niche and without too much usage

[frosty flame]

Dont you get quite a few monthly

[balmy hawk]

is there a secret to 6-5? my best tank with my best healer cant survive two of the ranged throwers at once. when i put another healer in the bottom that can cover both tanks i dont have the damage to clear the normal units

[buoyant sigil]

The gold module thingie cannot be farmed at all

[onyx mango]

around 12, if we're talking about module block
but 1 mod3 ops can costs like what? 8? i forgor

[frosty flame]

The blocks?

[abstract mauve]

if you are new, LMD and battle records are highest priority. then as Rozeia said

[lament loom]

Show ur strat in #strategy

[real wedge]

yupp, got itt tysmmm

[onyx mango]

if we're talking about data supp, it's in the worst gamemode

[buoyant sigil]

I’m fairly sure they’re only able to be bought in, like, events majorly. SSS is for the orange sticks and all.

[frosty flame]

Red certs monthly too

[buoyant sigil]

True true

[abstract mauve]

SSS not worst gamemode

[onyx mango]

it is, boring ahh gamemode

[buoyant sigil]

Well, they’re what makes modules all the more annoying. Prisms (and other t5) are fine, trust is fine, uh, don’t ask about module blocks though like ew

[static arrow]

did i miss silverash

[frosty flame]

Ig ill buy em out before going full grindstones, got everything else already besides rhe operator xp

[lament loom]

But 4x sniper on mech accord caster 😭

[abstract mauve]

nop wrong way of playing SSS

[blissful island]

to speedrun the game I just need to borrow someone's wis and come back to some stages to do them manually if I need their auto?

[onyx mango]

yes

[leaden yoke]

Is Mont3r getting a rerun at any point within the next 6 months?

[buoyant sigil]

Grindstones should be the last thing you buy honestly

[shut juniper]

basically

[coarse notch]

no

[wraith shoal]

As a rate up no

[leaden yoke]

So only way is either selector or just get her as a rate-off on any banner I guess

[shut juniper]

or you wait one more year for her to hit yellow shop

[leaden yoke]

Also that

[shut juniper]

i could friend you and give you mine to use she's m3 and mod3

[buoyant sigil]

Should I e2 shamare or build tragodia first and do I need to e2 tequila for the former’s combo in base

[leaden yoke]

And is there any banner I should be saving for, other than the Ch'en alter^2 and 7th anniversary?

Just coming back from a break, trying to see

[shut juniper]

Nasti is cool but other than that i do not spot anything else of high note

[sacred flume]

Tragodia > Shamare
Tequila can work E0, E2 just makes the combo better but Sham needs that more

[leaden yoke]

Nasti, got it, I will check her out

Not like I can pull for more than 2-3 banners anyways

[buoyant sigil]

I see I see
Seen as I have literally 5000 lmd to my name right now and only make about 50k a day, does the priority change or anything? The sum necessary to level tragodia does seem daunting

[lyric lagoon]

not recommended to pull her either btw

[autumn rivet]

Tete will get RA module for sure , also more stats in SP2

[shut juniper]

always remember between limiteds you generally get enough time to gather around 200 pulls assuming only that you buy green shop, do events, do dailies, weeklies and any new annis that come out

[autumn rivet]

Not must pull. But it makes your extra game mode smoother

[coarse notch]

if you dont have tragodia, hes after 7th anniv

[buoyant sigil]

^^

[leaden yoke]

Idk if I’m getting him to be honest, just don’t like him

[left tulip]

does saga have any niche

[sacred flume]

As a general rule you don't prio E2ing for base unless it's Proviso (even then it's still conditional). Def work on Tragodia

[coarse notch]

you dont need e2 teq
id e1 lvl 49 trag then e2 shamare

[leaden yoke]

The thing is that spending sanity on lmd is always a waste, just because you can probably clear any content available for you with your current roster, so instead of getting the lmd sooner you can farm other materials instead, while lmd slowly increases on its own.

[pure dove]

Is it worth getting Stainless' module ?And if yes, which one ? And should l give his skills masteries or not ?

[coarse notch]

shamare's roi isnt that bad anyways

[autumn rivet]

No

[coarse notch]

and e1 lvl49 trag's s2 functions basically exactly the same as an e2 trag if you arent mod2 lvl88ing him immediately

[buoyant sigil]

Sanity on lmd? No no, 50k from base

[lyric lagoon]

competing with ceobe in being a big back is her niche

[buoyant sigil]

I see, thank you. Didn’t know he had such a breakpoint actually

[leaden yoke]

Never mind me, probably miss read the message then

[buoyant sigil]

Wait, wasn’t it 82 if you had mod3?

[coarse notch]

e1 lvl49 is the breakpoint at 100% trust for him to proc NI on normal enemies in one cat yea

[left tulip]

[coarse notch]

82 mod3 or 88 mod2 yea

[buoyant sigil]

Ooh neat. And on 82 mod3 you trigger it on mostly everyone?

[pale pebble]

Should i exchange my certs for a 3rd copie of snow hunter or let it convert?

[coarse notch]

as long as they dont have elemental injury resistance yea

[reef sparrow]

not max pot, I'd say let it rot

[shut juniper]

just let it convert

[unreal fable]

kernel location, what to select? I have a 10pull kernel voucher
https://www.krooster.com/u/faith-purple-owl-06pi

[pale pebble]

Ok thank you

[humble arrow]

Whats the stronghold protocol best strategist for fast 6?

[obsidian fox]

I have a question about endgame. What is it like in this game? Most other gacha’s I’ve played just have repetitive endgame content that is similar throughout the early and mid game.

Btw I do not know anything about the other game modes in AK

[humble arrow]

End game is just playing the events amd the rpguelike game modes

[robust thistle]

Technically speaking we dont have an endgame mode

[wraith shoal]

and cc whenever it comes around

[obsidian fox]

Sign me up for roguelike

[humble arrow]

Theres many events like cc and stuff u can play

[obsidian fox]

That’s great

[turbid ocean]

By: @proven kelp

[robust thistle]

Theres like permanent game mode like IS and RA
And CC comes like, every few months or so

The rest is usual gacha stuff with events

[obsidian fox]

Is IS and RA fun?

[humble arrow]

Subjective

[robust thistle]

Fun is subjective

[ebon pier]

What are vagary tiles in IS?

[humble arrow]

The yellow tiles

[robust thistle]

The piss colored tiles

[oblique grail]

Is it anything like first coop mode that was added to game ?

[dapper torrent]

In stronghold, is there a way to check what the titles you get at the end of the match mean?

[oblique grail]

Or should i read more

[lament loom]

We had Icebreaker Games

[robust thistle]

Yes

[shut juniper]

oooh yuri

[worldly carbon]

but doesn't stronghold protocol have a matchmaking with other 3 people?

[oblique grail]

I wasn't playing at that time i believe

[worldly carbon]

it ended a few days ago dear

[lament loom]

It wad recent

[wraith shoal]

solo too

[lament loom]

Old one? Or this one?

Cuz old SP was solo, which I enjoyed. I am interested in trying out this coop style tho.

[buoyant sigil]

And only some chapter 15 enemies have it, more or less? I’ve heard it’s plenty rare

[dapper torrent]

New one has a solo mode too. Co op is fun though

[worldly carbon]

this one, there's both I dunno how it works tho

[lament loom]

Autochess style

[buoyant sigil]

And laterano is a really good comp in stronghold? I’ve seen the horrors of how many stacks that gets to be

[lament loom]

Apparently I seen someone stacking buffs like crazy. And I have some Laterano ops...

[buoyant sigil]

Probably something like exu2 + civilight + enforcer + fedex I’m assuming

I’m fairly sure those do have some nasty buffs

Archetto as well I think? I’ve heard she’s nice in sprotocol

[lament loom]

I'll go check SP out rn so uh, I see ya later

[storm tide]

I just realized Reed the Flame Shadow is in the Distinctions Shop. I am wondering if I should get it or not. I have Logos, maybe he is better than her?

[buoyant sigil]

Don’t get her. Logos is MILES better

[blissful island]

oh sorry I went to do something
m3 and mod 3 is her max upgrade?

[buoyant sigil]

She’s not bad but she’s not good either and definitely not worth your certs

[storm tide]

got it. i dont have reed the flame. i remember when she was introduce. is was ops with massive explosion.

[buoyant sigil]

Yeahh, she’s really fallen off nowadays

[storm tide]

oof. bruh.

[robust thistle]

Well you can still get her if you want

[buoyant sigil]

I mean, yeah

[shut juniper]

yeah

[buoyant sigil]

Though the payoff may not be as good. You could be missing out on a few gold certs in the future when you need them and there are good shop ops coming in time

[worldly carbon]

you can get reedic for free in 6 months or so or surtr I guess
or tentacle femboy

[dapper torrent]

Oh what, are we getting a new free selector or something?

[buoyant sigil]

Yes, in 6 months.

[robust thistle]

On kalter banner yes

[worldly carbon]

yeah 7th anni giving a free selector

[dapper torrent]

Nice, gotta check CN news lol

[buoyant sigil]

Reedic/Surtr/Mudrock/Suzuran/Passenger/Saileach/Pozy/Mizuki iirc

[astral palm]

Is there anyway to completely bypass those absolutely awful forced tutorials aside from rebooting the game? So annoying everytime arknights puts you through that shit

[buoyant sigil]

A bunch of choices but it ultimately comes down to just choosing mizuki lol

[robust thistle]

What forced tutorial

[astral palm]

Yk, when they introduce a new gamemode or unique events...

[buoyant sigil]

They’re not gonna touch on tutorials again after, like, chapter 3-4 for a long time

[robust thistle]

Theyre tutorials for a reason

[buoyant sigil]

Ohh those? Yeah they’re just gonna stay there but they’re one time so

[blissful island]

oh sure id really appreciate it

[dapper torrent]

Nice, guess I'm finally getting Saileach, so I can never use her probably 😅

[storm tide]

wait. so reed the flame we can get it free in 6 month? didnt know but thx for info

[robust thistle]

You only do it once
And no, theyre not getting rid of it after 7 years of doing it

If you have complaints about a 7 year old standard, #1211614253354852362 is there

[lavish bough]

how impactful is ulpianus module and what level should I upgrade it to

[astral palm]

I dont want to click 100 times just to go back to main menu, or quit just cus I didnt realize the game wanted to abduct me to brazil...

[robust thistle]

Lv1 is fine, you just want the base effect

[robust thistle]

Sounds like user error to me

[worldly carbon]

literally had someone asking for taunt cus they skipped tutorial on how targetting works
then you say we should get rid of tutorials

[buoyant sigil]

Nah. Saileach is… not too good a selection. If anything, she’s outclassed by myrtle due to cost effectiveness lmao
Choose Mizuki from it. Amazing in IS. Second best option is Reed2.

[dapper torrent]

I already have everyone else. Except for Pozy I suppose, but she's even more pointless I think

[buoyant sigil]

Nah she’s pretty nice

Outclassed because of powercreep but certainly not bad

[subtle dawn]

Should I summon on the new banner I have 64 pulls and have none of the characters there

[robust thistle]

How new are you

[buoyant sigil]

Despite everything she’s pretty nifty, I’d put her over Saileach

[glass mural]

The best time to pull was yesterday.

[subtle dawn]

Ive been playing for around 2 months now

[shut juniper]

andreic#2137
uid: 59542303
hitting the hay soon so add me right now preferably

[glass mural]

The next best time to pull is the waiting for Wang banner to get here in about 3 months.

[subtle dawn]

What why

[astral palm]

Nah, just ancient mobile game tropes that not a soul likes, kinda like the X button on ads being a link or inexplicably small.

[robust thistle]

Not long, pick tragodia/ulpian/zuole then get 1 *6

[subtle dawn]

You think I can get a 6 star within 60 pulls or nah? And do you think I will still have enough time to save 300 pulls for wang?

[robust thistle]

If you play regularly you should still have time to get wang/chenchen

You dont need 300 though

[neon berry]

Would buying Elysium with gold certs be a good idea?

[subtle dawn]

Yeah I login everyday

[blissful island]

sent!

[shut juniper]

aight i accepted happy hunting

[subtle dawn]

Bro my luck for the sash2 banner was horrible 170+ pulls and no pram2 so I don't wanna take any chances

[blissful island]

tyvm

[robust thistle]

Sounds normal to me

Point is, you dont need 300
And even if you dont get either of wang/chenchen, you dont get banned from the game

[glass mural]

Given soft pity...

[hidden wolf]

Have u guys received the 600 orundum from the survey event

[glass mural]

Add in another 10-20 or so, and I'd say yes.

[buoyant sigil]

Average pulls for a 6* is ~35

Despite everything it’s more likely you get one before soft pity rather than after 50

[subtle dawn]

It's gonna feel like a punch to the gut if I don't get wang cuz he's a limited

[buoyant sigil]

Good to be sure, but you’re likely to get one with 60 pulls.

[buoyant sigil]

Ehh sui limiteds come back every year and you don’t necessarily need any of them it’s fine

[subtle dawn]

Ok imma summon on it wish me luck guys

[hidden wolf]

Good luck bro

[subtle dawn]

Pins says to not summon unless you got 150+ pulls but screw it we ball

[hidden wolf]

What u got tell me

[serene marlin]

how do i "edit my profile in the friends page?" everything im trying isnt working

[buoyant sigil]

Don’t forget to post what you get in #salt-mines !!

[vital kelp]

try edit the message or some

[buoyant sigil]

Edit the message tab in it

[serene marlin]

ahh that worked ty

[subtle dawn]

Okie

[serene marlin]

is the only way to increase trust by using operators in content?

[vital kelp]

base

[oblique grail]

Best level for these?

[hidden wolf]

Is stainless ass or good

[buoyant sigil]

/material in #bot-spam

[vital kelp]

check /material in #bot-spam

[abstract mauve]

closer to ass than good but somewhere in between

[vital kelp]

kinda ass if u dont know what ur doing
ok ish if u do

[valid violet]

in stronghold protocol, should i prioritize using my funds to get as many specific faction members as possible, or purchasing as many similar operators as possible to merge them? ive been trying to do both but i think it leaves me underpowered

[hidden wolf]

What u got @subtle dawn

[subtle dawn]

I'm still thinking if I should summon cuz I feel like zuo le and ulpianus won't rlly help me that much

[vital kelp]

diff strat

[hidden wolf]

Who do you have

[subtle dawn]

Lemme send my krooster

https://share.google/dvz8GKLihN9QP94E7

[vital kelp]

max level e2 with skill level 1

[buoyant sigil]

Both of them will. Great laneholders and you don’t exactly have many of those
Also level your skills

[hidden wolf]

Ulpi is a very good lane holder

[subtle dawn]

My krooster is a bit outdated this is my team rn

[hidden wolf]

U dont have any good lane holder bro

Maybe mountain

[buoyant sigil]

Finish leveling and mod that sash1 or else he’s mid-er

[subtle dawn]

Can ulpi or zuo le replace mountain?

[grave sail]

Is chen3 a broken unit or just decent?

[worn drift]

cantabile S1 or S2 to M3 for IS6? or should I use on Amiya medic?

[hidden wolf]

Ye

[buoyant sigil]

Miles better. Mountain gets easily statchecked later on unfortunately

Sash1 really appreciates his module honesty not gonna lie

[subtle dawn]

I like mountain a lot early on cuz he has really good self healing

[odd sky]

cantabile s1

[hidden wolf]

I have so many to module

[dapper torrent]

Ulpi 100%, Zuo Le isn't very convinient to use as a laneholder, but he's got some really good DPS, I'm sure he'll help you if you get him

[buoyant sigil]

Oh god you do

[vital kelp]

not convinient but better than like 99% of the convinient one

[buoyant sigil]

Please module that wiš logos sakiko asap

wis mod 3 logos delta mod to 3 and sakiko mod to 2

[median fable]

early on you can just borrow literally any e2 that Mountain carrying early game is whatever

[buoyant sigil]

Pram2’s, Ethan’s and Surtr’s are good to consider as well if you use them consistently (especially Pram)

[hidden wolf]

Ulpi also has self healing

S2

[median fable]

s2 boost his self healing
the self heal is from talent

[buoyant sigil]

S3 is… way better, in my experience.

[median fable]

95% of the usage should be s3

[buoyant sigil]

I’ve had better results with s3 at least yea

[serene marlin]

is lappland particularly strong at anything?

[median fable]

which one?

[buoyant sigil]

Lappland the 5 star? If so, no

[proven kelp]

Neither are that strong either way

[serene marlin]

base lappland, heres what i got so far

[buoyant sigil]

Don’t bother with them

Here you use the voucher on laplu yeah?

[median fable]

you have grace and la pluma which are miles better
lappland has silence bit it's irrelevant

[serene marlin]

wdym?

[buoyant sigil]

Asking to the other #help people since I’m unsure on what to say

La Pluma > other elite2 voucher options?

[worn drift]

I use em on La Pluma before cause I like her design

[abstract mauve]

i think id prefer gracebearer but i can be biased here

[hidden wolf]

Is shu the best shield tank rn

[vital kelp]

wym shield tank

[worn drift]

isnt she heal tank

[hidden wolf]

Heal tank i mean

[vital kelp]

sure

[abstract mauve]

there arent that many so sure ig
