help

[abstract mauve]

there's a free reedalt in 6 months and thorns is definitely not worth the 180 gold certs

[humble river]

no, just asking
because i dont if its worth

[worn drift]

do I get Historical Reconstruction point in IS5 if I do Storyteller run?

[chrome tiger]

Nope

storyteller gives fixed amount of battlepass exp, some extra loots and that’s it

[short meteor]

Is tin man good in IS6?

[vital kelp]

no

[abstract mauve]

is6 as in the sui one?

[vital kelp]

shiled theres only one is6

[silver smelt]

no

[vital kelp]

unless he means is-6 as in the lappter stage, and the answr is still no

[silver smelt]

we are not doing this hg bullshit where is6 -> is5

[abstract mauve]

there's like a 90% chance he meant is5 and just got confused between the ISses. and like a 10% chance he actually asked about tin man viability in is6

[vital kelp]

is raidian good in is5

[abstract mauve]

na bro this is like is valarqvin good in is3 territory. raidian is actually decent in is5

[wraith shoal]

yo where even is the damn shop for me to rob in f3

[silver smelt]

its not guaranteed in f3

[wraith shoal]

[abstract mauve]

[silver smelt]

its guaranteed only in f1 and f6 afaik

[short meteor]

Im talking about IS6 the sui one

[wraith shoal]

the ultimate lowroll ed3 run

[silver smelt]

dw ed3 isnt hard

[abstract mauve]

no reason to draft tinman in is6. he does virtually nothing

[wraith shoal]

first time is always hard, and I'm doing it on d9 on top of it

[blissful island]

what's the investment priority order here?

[vital kelp]

whats the best squad to do d18 ending 245 in IS5

[abstract mauve]

i play welfare only in is6 a decent amount and i dont think there has ever been a situation where i was like damn i really wish i had tinman here

[wraith shoal]

tincan hater

[vital kelp]

i mean, hes big aoe with some hit point on s2

healing too

[chrome prawn]

Tragodia silverash alter ascalon then thorn?

[raven ermine]

ascalon e1 > sash e1 > silence/ptilo e1 > sash e2 > sa2 e2 > ascalon e2 mod1

[blissful island]

thankss

[abstract mauve]

but you see. i would rather umiri

[silver smelt]

trag can stay at e1 for now

[vital kelp]

hlep

[silver smelt]

idk, soul escort? ingots?
depends on ur roster and playstyle probably

[vital kelp]

playstyle: wheelchair

roster: https://www.krooster.com/u/fatpika

[silver smelt]

ask the is5 peeps i dont touch is5

[raven ermine]

I'm a snipermed player mostly, so i can't say much
Did it with snipermed, gvg, ingot, blueprint
Bp kinda fake out of those, the others were fine

[vital kelp]

i think i might try ingot

its just hard to get out of the blueprint thinking

[worn drift]

how do you guys find different type of playstyle for IS5 run

[silver smelt]

just do some marco for 999 if u plan on doing ingots bcs u withdraw like 100 every run

[raven ermine]

You play different things

[vital kelp]

i still have 600

[abstract mauve]

you try different strategies or you limit yourself in some way

[worn drift]

I just choose what I think the best at what I see
dont have any strat

[abstract mauve]

i did an ed2 run recently with astgenne2 xingzhu and silence2 that was pretty fun

[raven ermine]

The more you play the better you'll get
The better you are the more you "plan" your runs ahead of time

[wraith shoal]

so generally worth it to invest ingots above 500?

[raven ermine]

IS5 can be kind of restrictive on your lines if you have lamp anyway so options are not that broad

[silver smelt]

not really its just if you plan on withdrawing a shit ton
some strats rely on withdrawing to buy out shops

[abstract mauve]

feels like even tho is5 has the most moving pieces out of any IS, it's also the most straight forward pathing

[raven ermine]

Yeah i feel the same
You're kinda railroaded into your comps

[worn drift]

I mean you guys always mention tree, lamp , wheelchair, pacifist route
how do u guys find this

[raven ermine]

By playing/discussing with other players/looking at high diff runs
Lamp/talon/doodle is kinda shoved in your face anyway, the lines/playstyle kind of goes along with it when you understand how is5 works

[vital kelp]

what happens when u dont get that node first encounter

[abstract mauve]

restart or attempt to get it for 1-2 more encounters

[raven ermine]

you try f2 and if you don't get it you dip and restart

[worn drift]

aight bet bet, just spam it and watch high diff run

[abstract mauve]

i cba to play a welfare only run with fuck all for power scaling. no kings and no hands is crazy

[raven ermine]

Just ask if you have any questions, i'm sure plenty of players have a good amount of experience with is5 by now

[wraith shoal]

I'd expect it to be a challenge to do a d15 run or something without that encounter, like self bans

[vital kelp]

[abstract mauve]

na if you know what you are doing there's fatedless strategies out there. im just not a masochist enough to learn how to do that

it's just more creative strategizing

[fathom gale]

what do the chess pieces mean?

[wraith shoal]

so raidian s1 is cool for this?

[silver smelt]

depends on the rest of the squad

[abstract mauve]

if you have a bunch of other dps carries maybe? if you are having a good run s2 is fine here ig

[wraith shoal]

this is the rest

[silver smelt]

s1 is fine

[raven ermine]

Would go s1 with that squad, you lack ground

[wraith shoal]

where do most enemies spawn from? Top?

[silver smelt]

wisadel hoshi pram vs d9 its free

[scarlet oyster]

What skill to m3 on thorns and leizi

[silver smelt]

check tomimi.dev for enemy positions

[pale tapir]

leizi alt is potential m9 candidate
her main skill is s2
but if you use s1 and s3 a lot u can m3 them too

[raven ermine]

thorns is fine to skip mastery, but if you insist s2

[deep sandal]

trophies, basically just to know how much you've played

[scarlet oyster]

Ah well leizi then, however since s2 is her main which other skill has more use in IS

[silver smelt]

3

[wraith shoal]

I lost

[abstract mauve]

you werent using raidian s1?

[wraith shoal]

I was. It was just way to much going on and the canons from the right killed everyone

[abstract mauve]

oh then uhhh... life happens

they're menaces if you dont deal with them ye

[wraith shoal]

quilon seems more fun than that stage holy

[spare jetty]

what r u

[charred summit]

is there a timeline for EN events/banners?

[vital kelp]

we cant look into the future

[wraith shoal]

and speculate

[shadow bay]

try looking at #game-news

whatever announced there is the event we getting

[charred summit]

i havent played since hoshi alter released in en, what was the last event and what should be next? is wang next?

[spare jetty]

cus yostar could literally shift schedule

[spare jetty]

last event was sash2

upcoming we have lappalt event rerun

[severe crypt]

And after that we legally can’t say

[shadow bay]

we have stronghold protocol atm

and soon will be PV rerun

[vital kelp]

is umiri s1 affected by aspd

[charred summit]

dammit i missed this banner 😭

[pastel trail]

how much do units matter in stronghold alliance compare to default? just started so dont have a bunch besides borrow

[vital kelp]

i found a nice combo with cheeto umiri but its taking so long to happen

[spare jetty]

u use brain more

[abstract mauve]

just did this stage with 3 leaks. cant particularly say that im a big fan of the stage but it's doable. worse stage than any of the is6 endings tbh

[wraith shoal]

rubbing salt into the wound I see. I'll just idk, try to be lucky and get f3 shop. Kinda need to do ed3 and I wanna have as much stuff as possible

[gritty basin]

hi, new player here, should i start level 90 my elite 2

[vital kelp]

no

[abstract mauve]

no

[wraith shoal]

never do that

[gritty basin]

eh?

[vital kelp]

never say never tho

[wraith shoal]

only do it for siege and vina

[raven ermine]

It's very bad value for the little amount of stats you get out of it
E2 your leizi and mod2 your pramanix

[abstract mauve]

mod2 pramanix?

[gritty basin]

oh, so level 60 for module unlock?

[raven ermine]

pram2 yes, why ?

[tight marsh]

Would you guys recommend I finish up Phantom's IS first [ Level 97 ] or keep working on IS6 [ Level 68 ]? Both of them have good rewards but idk which one I should prioritize first.

[gritty basin]

[raven ermine]

Yep go up to e2 60 and leave it at that

[abstract mauve]

that's not a breakpoint

[pine plover]

minus the promotion cost
E2 60 to E2 90 cost as much as E0 1 to E2 60 for at best 13% extra stats

[wraith shoal]

IS2 is crazy boring, I'd do IS6 first

[abstract mauve]

why mod2. like i can understand mod3 for the extra effect or mod1 for the extra damage. no real reason for mod2 tho

[vital kelp]

guys holdon guys is archetto + s1 sakiko gonna keep triggering auto umiri s1

omg this is actually broken wtf

[abstract mauve]

sakiko already does it well enough alone btw

but ye umiri go i choose you

[pine plover]

rather, pumping up sakiko ASPD would be better

[brittle sequoia]

question about reruns, do they have the same rewards as the original event?

[raven ermine]

For pram ? Because you want faster snow tiles, and mod3 increase is very small
The added snow tiles on mod3 are very small qol for when she's warming up
The faster snow tiles generation is useful all the time
You go up to mod3 if you can afford it, but they obviously have a lot to do there

[abstract mauve]

i dont think mod2 gives faster snow tiles generation if im not mistaken

[pine plover]

the shop stocks are reduced
and if you done the event initially, ofc no extra first clear reward
mission reward is same

[abstract mauve]

oh wait 5.5 -> 5 mb

[raven ermine]

Oh you saw it before image uploaded, yeah

[abstract mauve]

ye that's mb i unironically never noticed it lowering the gen speed

[pine plover]

one of rerun selling point is buying welfare token again to be exchanged for gold cert if they are previously max potential

[vital kelp]

guys i just got spinach to combo too

[opaque cape]

Is ambriel the best 4 star sniper?

[vital kelp]

no

[raven ermine]

No, not even close

[opaque cape]

😢

[vital kelp]

doubt if shes even good let alone best

[raven ermine]

Ambriel is pretty bad

[gritty basin]

best in your heart

[opaque cape]

Yeah as in drop dead gorgeous bad, but jokes aside, there has to be a use in the global range

[ancient lintel]

Best 4* sniper would be like may maybe?

[raven ermine]

Well if you're playing 4*knights, i guess, and even that is arguable
If you're not, absolutely not
Global range is valued way too highly for what it is

[worldly fern]

is civilight eterna worth building?

[vital kelp]

eh

[ancient lintel]

Way too niche
but do it for terra

[raven ermine]

Depend if you assume 4* only or for a generic account
And there are a lot of other contenders

Depend a lot on the context really

[opaque cape]

She can heal enmities if I’m correct? So worth if you either like an enmity op or said ops struggle to survive

[raven ermine]

She can, but healing enmities is cope

[ancient lintel]

The only emnities nowadays that's worth using are zuo and enchilada, and even then only enchilada wants heal, zuo just doesnt give a shit

[wintry steppe]

Is blemishine good?

[raven ermine]

None of them want heal what
That's the point of enmities

[opaque cape]

Exec-alter is quite good from what I’ve done with him

[wraith shoal]

what's the best skill for sand reckoner

[ancient lintel]

He's handsome but he's kinda a$$ ngl

[abstract mauve]

retreat button

[vital kelp]

does sakiko s1 note fly further than s3 notes

[abstract mauve]

he gives you 1+ deployment slots when you use it depending on how many summons you had down

[opaque cape]

He’s been serving me better than enchilada after trying them both

[vital kelp]

i swear it does

[wraith shoal]

Man I skillfully got him from a voucher and idk what to do with him now

[wintry steppe]

.

[abstract mauve]

no

[raven ermine]

nope

[ancient lintel]

Ass

[hidden nacelle]

wait...SSS counts for module missions...what....

[vital kelp]

chat?

[wintry steppe]

Damn it

[opaque cape]

It’s hard to be a bad guardian so just use her in the meantime

[hidden nacelle]

i mean i guess youd only use s1 with umiri s1 so yes
but otherwise should be similar range

[vital kelp]

cuz s3 definitely doesnt fly this far

[hidden nacelle]

might just be ther spread youre lookin at
you...also have umiri there to keep them from expriing...like i said...

[raven ermine]

Check PRTS there's a lot of info on notes speed/duration/lock in mechanic for each skill

[wintry steppe]

what even am I supposed to pick then, ik pin exist but I don't have those combo

[abstract mauve]

healing

chance for kaltsit

[pine plover]

blemishine jumpscare

[wise cipher]

should i consider fitting in smth like a third guard for shus aspd passive? (like degenbrecher, zuo le or fedEX?)
and if so, who would i throw out?

[opaque cape]

Wait is she that good, I also happen to have her from said selector

[pine plover]

muelsyse

or texas

[raven ermine]

You really don't need either of the three
And you don't need to proc shu's passive either

[wise cipher]

how does it always come down to muelsyse
i need DP

[pale tapir]

by herself s1 and s3 have the same range in my experience
about 5 tiles in front of her max
I'm willing to bet they just went that far because of her range extension
just check prts wiki like mayu said if u want specifics

[pine plover]

bro, i play this game without vanguard except for annihilation

[wise cipher]

but yeah alright, guess i will just stick with this team, and once i get wang replace logos with him, then i can have the aspd boost when texalt is on the field too

[abstract mauve]

i like my vanguards for raidian reasons but you cant convince me that vanguards are good units

[opaque cape]

Can ambriel mark enemies for lemuen or not ?

[raven ermine]

point is
Neither zuo, degen, or fedex would make your team better in the first place anyway

[wise cipher]

i can open maps with 3dp wisadel thanks to the mumu SA tech

[vital kelp]

offskill yes

[pale tapir]

I mean this might sound crazy but when your team is composed entirely of top tier dps/utility and mumu, she ends up being the weak link

[pine plover]

i can open maps with wisadel with 0 vanguard

[wintry steppe]

is this even good

[vital kelp]

second best option u could have gotten from top op

[abstract mauve]

she's niche

[wise cipher]

i live in a world of my own delusion where muelsyse is a top tier unit and not just "quite good"

[wintry steppe]

What was the finger meaning

[raven ermine]

There's definitely worse hits in healing pool

[rocky pilot]

Second best option
She has a niche and is very good at it

[vital kelp]

shes bad but shes good in top op

[pine plover]

global range doesnt actually make operator range expand into the entire map but rather allow them to attack outside of their range, any mechanic that work with range, is still range bound, like ambriel talent

[opaque cape]

Are you Korean ?

[abstract mauve]

good

[raven ermine]

Did you escape from #arknights

[rocky pilot]

At least it isn’t shining or blemishine

[wise cipher]

yknow maybe i just put ela in the logos slot again
later on i put wang in there anyway

[wintry steppe]

What exactly niche mean here

[fathom gale]

how do i check my trophies? is it path to glory stuff?

[brittle sequoia]

will the portatori dei velluti rerun event also still have erato in the reward shop?

[raven ermine]

Good defensive option against arts damage
Bad medic outside of that

[pine plover]

but she can throws bait

[rocky pilot]

Has a specific purpose or situation or thing they can still do
And for her case is she really fucking hates arts damage

[opaque cape]

With the upcoming event rerun, will grabbing crow slayer as my first executor be worth it ?

[pale tapir]

she's free wdym worth it

[fathom gale]

what do the numbers mean

[limpid yarrow]

trophy count

[pine plover]

MVP

[raven ermine]

No, outside of very specific reasons, one of them being opulence, you don't raise crownslayer

[haughty holly]

What's opulence
Also can't u just borrow for this lol

[rocky pilot]

Just get her, grab her pots, maybe get her up if you want to have perma stun shenanigans and leave her there

[fathom gale]

in the medal menu it says 905, but based on what i saw i still have the rook

[raven ermine]

Being very rich
If they could borrow they would not ask, and why borrow cs

[glass mural]

Having a lot of resources to toss around.

[opaque cape]

Hyenas are cool

[rocky pilot]

I have see 0 crownslayers in my borrow list
Is either exu2, ela, texas2, yato2 or someone else

[glass mural]

But also

[pale tapir]

get more based friends

[rocky pilot]

Maybe at a later time I am seeing who gonna friend me after putting trag and eblana in my borrow ops

[haughty holly]

If I had a dollar everytime someone said "I don't wanna borrow" I would be a millionaire

[pale tapir]

stronghold protocol trophies not medals

[wraith shoal]

is it better to get the ending relics as late as possible to not deal with the debuffs for many rounds?

[fathom gale]

ahh, so does it mean total wins in the gamemode?

[abstract mauve]

depends on the ending

[wraith shoal]

ed3

[abstract mauve]

you can get it anytime before floor 5
you just need to go to pathfinder f5

[pale tapir]

go to SPA menu click top left

[raven ermine]

That's not the point tho ?
They want access to an executor
As in, in their roster, allowing them to borrow other ops if needed
Crownslayer is free, the only opportunity cost is raising her

[wraith shoal]

so I should get it as late as I can? Or do I take it now that I have the chance

[fathom gale]

is it related to the rock-solid defense etc stuff? doing that equals a trophy?

[abstract mauve]

it usually doesnt make too big of a difference on earlier floors. the pre-requisite fight for ed3 can be a bit rough so the relic mainly makes a difference there

[limpid yarrow]

depends on round count tbh
at most 7 for finishing round 15 on dire

its just a rough measure of playtime basically

[haughty holly]

wtf
Surely there are better replacement for him no

[echo venture]

🧐

[wraith shoal]

raidian s3, hoshi2 s3 and haruka s2 would be enough for that?

[glass mural]

She's in the category of, consider raising at some point, don't prioritize this early in the slightest.

[fathom gale]

i assume it only counts towards multiplayer playtime? i played a ton solo

[haughty holly]

Hermataz

[limpid yarrow]

yes only multiplayer counts

[abstract mauve]

i dont have hoshi2 so i dont know if she can open the stage well enough or not

[limpid yarrow]

probably could range is big enough

[wraith shoal]

guess I'll try

[raven ermine]

That's why i said raising CS is not worth the materials unless you're rich or want access to a niche, but expensive, stun bomb
Likely both at the same time let's be real

[wraith shoal]

also have pram2 s2 if it makes a difference

[opaque cape]

Is Project red better ?

[raven ermine]

No

[abstract mauve]

pram s2 is a bit too slow for that stage

[glass mural]

For ending 3 pre req fight, run S3 over S2.

[haughty holly]

I sense someone who watched a YouTube tutorial

[glass mural]

You want to frontload your damage output.

[wraith shoal]

i dont have masteries on that

[raven ermine]

you don't need an executor at all cost, don't settle for bad units
Granted, CS isn't bad per say, but very overcosted for what she'll bring to your roster

[vital kelp]

than who?

[glass mural]

Don't care, still better.

S3 has massively better starting SP over S2.

Take too long to start doing damage, Wang has his 4 balls of annoying around ranged tiles, and now you're stuck watching your LP total go from 35 to 6.

[vital kelp]

guys i lost to amiya

is there anything i can do to resist the stun or do i have to use the mechanic

[glass mural]

Crownslayer and also answer is no.

[vital kelp]

wait, what if i use lessing

hes immune to stun

[lavish bough]

is sash2 good enough by himself as a vanguard to not need to bring any other

[haughty holly]

Immune to stun but then he dies

[glass mural]

It's a bit stage and context dependent, but absolutely yes.

[abstract mauve]

only on s3 and that's not a passive

[glass mural]

Sometimes Ines better.

Sometimes Ines worse.

It depends.

[vital kelp]

but it works right

[haughty holly]

I mean u can just do s3 sash2 and u basically have dmg + fragile and dp gen like after 4 seconds deployment

[rocky pilot]

Take the sidegrade or the sidegrade

[abstract mauve]

isnt the stun on deployment?

[haughty holly]

And sash2 s3 feels like it last forever
so does the charge time after it's finished

[lavish bough]

should I be upgrading sash2 s3 instead of s2?

[rocky pilot]

Isn’t it like half the sp cost of his original s3
Still longass

[glass mural]

if I theoretically actually had the mats, S3 is probably the priority over 2 isn't it.

[haughty holly]

S3 has more benefits on m3 than s2 (it's just damage on s2)

[cloud storm]

Is surtr as good as they say 🤔🤔 I have her on my alt...my main dps on there is silverash alter, thorns, and executer alter

[abstract mauve]

oh i forgot how lessing s3 works for a sec

[vital kelp]

he can open skill when stunned and it removes stun

[haughty holly]

Hoshi2 mogs her but if u don't have she's still good

[vital kelp]

if ur main dps is these people then yes, shes good dps

[keen scarab]

On the Amiya boss?, it's not stun it is sleep right, also stage mechanic
Just wake your ops using the bouncy thing

[abstract mauve]

i just remembered. the use case almost never comes up for welfare only

[raven ermine]

if those are your options for damage, yes

[glass mural]

Yes if you're in 2022 or so.

[cloud storm]

Yeahhhh I have like nothing on my alt, so im stuck being bitchless

[rocky pilot]

She fallen off over the years
She’s just the best 6 star option in the 6 star selector that time around

[haughty holly]

Ok then surtr is good

[rocky pilot]

And for newbies

[glass mural]

Sadly, the adamant stream flows ever onwards and we can't go back to 2022 or so.

[cloud storm]

My main has beautiful babies like sakiko and mlynar🥹🥹🥹

[broken flame]

Honse

[cloud storm]

And I haven't even spent that much money so thats a plus....

[rocky pilot]

Hey you can have fancy surtr hospital with exu2 and kal2 I guess

[haughty holly]

Are u trying to decide which acc to keep

[glass mural]

I'd keep Sakiko.

[cloud storm]

No, im using both... but since I like the feeling of spending money as well as independence, I vowed to not spend money on the second one

[haughty holly]

Just monthly both

[abstract mauve]

ill try it next time i attempt amiya and see how it goes

[broken flame]

You can turn the 2nd one into nicheknights

[glass mural]

[sharp crest]

Folk is sussurro better healer than breeze?

[vital kelp]

cough cough cant say that here against tos

[cloud storm]

But that wont happen until many mayne moons... I only started played like a month and a half ago or smth

[haughty holly]

I'm pretty sure selling acc is against tos

[cloud storm]

Oopsies I deleted it mb 😶😶 who said that guys

[raven ermine]

Great now we're breaking tos for a 10 bucks account

[glass mural]

It's absolutely feasible to make a really fucking good F2P account tbh.

[vital kelp]

the mods can see what u deleted here btw

[broken flame]

The logs

[rocky pilot]

I am leaving

[abstract mauve]

this gonna be the worst paying job in history

[steady kraken]

Which operators should I put in tier 5&6 for stronghold protocol? Just list some good ones and I’m bound to have a few of them

[sharp crest]

I wanted to ask, not to watch drama

[raven ermine]

Then ask ?

[cloud storm]

Okay who ACTUALLY reads that stuff... 💔💔

[glass mural]

My current account is F2P, and honestly, I'm biased, but it's a really fucking good account.

[broken flame]

yerp

[haughty holly]

Mods are very dedicated here

but yeah anyways moving on

[young path]

the ominous vencord user

[cloud storm]

Im ngl I forgot this was the official server😪

[sharp crest]

I did ask, listen and watch when adult talk

[abstract mauve]

there's like a 99% chance a mod backreads all this

[haughty holly]

How's welfareknights

[vital kelp]

(they actually do)

[cloud storm]

So- is my account gonna get potentially banned orrrrrr🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️

[fathom nest]

I guess we'll see

[glass mural]

... They saw all my crap, this isn't IS Station messages in #strategy didn't they.

[haughty holly]

Omg hi socks

[cloud storm]

Sigh, it was nice knowing you guys... and the money I spent ✌🏻

[rocky pilot]

Eradication

[pine plover]

erato-dication

[broken flame]

i was about to say lmao

[cloud storm]

Nah I meant who reads the tos... I skim through the first paragraph and then just play the game

[vital kelp]

account selling is illegal in like every game in history btw

[pliant summit]

Which 5 stars are good

[raven ermine]

That's a bit broad of a question

[fathom nest]

It's also in the server rules

[glass mural]

You could always put in Pramalter and Sash S2.

[sharp crest]

Alright, you're main character among NPCs

[cloud storm]

Illegal?😭😭😭 mfs be doing that all over tiktok n stuffs

[pine plover]

that doesnt make it legal

[abstract mauve]

it's pretty fun. i like my welfares every and each one of them especially the ones that appear in the arkrec category list of welfares
but actually tho it's been really fun recently minus the addition of raidian. raidian is too good but my favorite units across the entire game are 3 recent welfares in sankta miksa umiri and astgenne2 so yeeee

[glass mural]

What's better than Kjerag freeze spam? Kjerag freeze spam with more damage and S2 applies cold -> freeze Schwings!

[vital kelp]

illegal doesnt mean u get put in jail for that

it does mean u dont wave it in front of cops

[sharp crest]

You kid enjoying attention that much?

[vital kelp]

you should have seen puffy

[raven ermine]

Seems like projection to me

[steady kraken]

Ok thanks, but does salter s2 wouldn’t be that strong because I can’t redeploy units right?

[cloud storm]

Also question- who should I be prioritizing rn

Ignore the fact I 50 everyone, that was when I first started pkay..

[odd sky]

wisadel

[vital kelp]

e2 wis

[glass mural]

He's just there to do the S2 thing to get you more cold stacks -> more freezing.

Honestly, the core of the comp is Gnosis and Pramanix (OG).

the auto schwinger

[haughty holly]

I still haven't used radian at all actually, teach me da way

[hidden nacelle]

whats the nian mod angle again

[glass mural]

Pramanix helps you ramp up Kjerag stacks, Gnosis's voice lines are increasingly getting seared into my brain for some reason. It's weird.

[steady kraken]

Ok my tier 5 is salter&sakiko, tier 6 is pramalter&hoshialter

[wraith shoal]

what's best skill for blemishine?

[rose mist]

Should I max out Ulpi mod?

[raven ermine]

modx3

[raven ermine]

mod1 for ulpi

[shadow bay]

uhhh s2 mostly used in general ig

while s3 when she do her... uhh.. jack of all trades bs

[hidden nacelle]

2 fgor sleepnights

[wraith shoal]

this is the most scuffed IS run ever I swear

[sharp crest]

Help channel more dramatic than #arknights it's a surprise

[shadow bay]

but i only imagine s3 being used when need healing from blemi

[lavish bough]

Who should i be prioritizing rn lowkey just hoarding money rn idk where to spend

[glacial bolt]

hi guys whats good next banner

[pine plover]

in 3 months

[hidden nacelle]

play IS6 get raidian strong

[glass mural]

Fate Grand Order Remake?

Anyways, ideally, save for 3 months. Honestly, saving for a few months is really damn short.

[pine plover]

[glacial bolt]

ok 3 months later what banner

[raven ermine]

e2 sash > mantra > virt
mod3 for sash, mod1 for mantra

[glass mural]

The Wang Chen Alter Alter banner.

[sharp crest]

You got two silverash damn

[glacial bolt]

ok

[hidden nacelle]

dont we all

[vital kelp]

do u not

[hidden nacelle]

wait shit i realized i frogot to build my SA2 oops

[sharp crest]

I just started playing like 4 days ago

[glass mural]

Same answer if it's about rolling.

[hidden nacelle]

sounds like its about lmd

[glass mural]

The Wang Chen Alter Alter banner in 3 months.

[sharp crest]

So how do you keep enough money? Mine never stay above 100k

[glass mural]

For all you know, money could mean actual money for gambling more!

[pine plover]

[odd sky]

fix your base probably

[hidden nacelle]

i dont know but just build base. im never above 100k because i build fuckshit ops like vigil and pallas for base

[fathom nest]

As a newbie you'll always be in an LMD deficit. Once your account is more established you'll start building up excess income. Just make sure your base is in order

[glass mural]

That's the neat thing!

You don't.

Honestly. Base LMD income does a lot, actually doing an IS or 2 does a lot, but if you have enough projects at a time, you'll inevitably always be in poverty.

[odd sky]

i'm always hovering between 5m and 10m

[abstract mauve]

raidian outside IS is basically either s2 statchecks low defense enemies or s3 and a link of 3 drones stat checks the 1 tanky enemy in a stage. there's 2 issues with raidian,

1. trying to do low ops with raidian is basically just figuring out skill timings. for example, he-8 solo. if you can figure out how to do a raidian solo on it then it means you understand a thing or two about raidian skill timings. if you can solo 15-15 without a guide then you are a legend.

2. the other issue with her is she just feels annoying to use. her summons cost an annoying amount of dp and she doesnt regenerate them fast enough if you arent using them efficiently and yet at the same time she's just hella op and breaks open stages in half

[hidden nacelle]

is there a list of the stronghold missions i lowkeey started a run and forgot which mission i was tryna do

[glass mural]

A great way to not be in exp and LMD poverty 24/7 (like Nate is again for the 30th time) is to not overdo it on the level 90 projects thing.

[fathom nest]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Stronghold_Protocol_Alliance

[sharp crest]

Damn so I wasted sanity grinding for money in story map?

[wraith shoal]

how are you even supposed to do this stage without leaking this much. You cant even place ops

[glacial bolt]

me pull who next guys

[fathom nest]

Wang and Ch3n

[glass mural]

You wasted sanity grinding on the LMD node. :nodnod:

[silver smelt]

?

[odd sky]

kill balls first duh

[hidden nacelle]

wisadel hoshi2 or similar

[glass mural]

The Wang Chen Alter Alter banner in 3 months.

[wraith shoal]

idk what happened, their aura was too much or something. They do chip damage or something in the area

[silver smelt]

you just put down ur melee carries here and let them kill the mobs and clear out the balls

[cloud storm]

Should I be making an all rounder team or a team that supoorts like 2-3 dps

[glacial bolt]

why nate so cute

[pine plover]

wang plays weiqi down to during IS fight

[sharp crest]

Should I prioritize grind for materials for e1 ?

[fathom nest]

Focus on clearing the story

[pliant summit]

What units are used for a freeze team

[sharp crest]

Story is tough, that one silverash support carried me till chapter 4 and now he can't carry anymore

[raven ermine]

Ignore frostleaf unless you're not sane

[fathom nest]

This is everyone that can inflict cold/freeze

[fathom nest]

Try out Wis or Exu alter

[abstract mauve]

lowkey normal pram as well can be ignored and somewhat kjera

[lavish bough]

what is silverash s3 use case? Am i supposed to use him as a laneholder or just as like helidrop burst damage

[pliant summit]

Thanks for the list y’all

[broken flame]

if you mean og Sash, yeah helidrop burst

[glass mural]

In practice if you need it that much, Sash S2 2 times + deploying someone functionally can give you on demand deploy -> freeze buttons.

[sharp crest]

Hmm so no one grind for money in story map?

[golden bloom]

Question about the new gamemode
Is 2 players able to run the same faction or not?

[fathom nest]

There's the supply missions a lot of people do, but it isn't efficient for your sanity use

[broken flame]

Not even the lmd farming stages unless extremely desperate and impatient. Better just farm IS/RA rewards if you really need LMD and other mats

[vale dock]

No, I usually just wait it out or is

[pliant summit]

Yeah guess him and a fast redeploy would be good right

[sharp crest]

So base still the most reliable source?

[fathom nest]

You'll need nearly an entire day's worth of sanity to get the same amount a proper base would make in a day

[sharp crest]

Damn that sounds extremely not efficient

[pale tapir]

multiple players can run same faction
although I remember hearing something about op pools being shared between players
the SPA geeks can explain if that's true or not and how it works if true

[rocky pilot]

Op pools are shared yeah

Idk if eblana is in the pool or not but I do know I put her in and one of my teammates was using her

[pale tapir]

eggbanana is swift faction right

[rocky pilot]

Yeah

[golden bloom]

That sounds counter intuitive but i guess that makes it so not every player can spam a certain faction that has more limiteds

[glass mural]

Obviously it comes at the opportunity cost of running S3 which is a much better frontloaded laneholding opener and DP skill, but hey, picking and choosing which skill you want to run gives meaningful opportunity cost that you have to choose between anyways. 🤘

[static glade]

What's pozemka best skill

[raven ermine]

s3

[static glade]

Ok 🔥

[pale tapir]

well limited operator =/= good operator
but basically yeah it'll be tough to run same primary faction as other ppl as you're competing for key ops (but you can do it)
running same subfaction should be pretty ez though

[rocky pilot]

But is probably based on luck though

Or something else cause one of my teammates bring wisadel and I did not see a single copy of her in my shop whatsoever

[pale tapir]

ethan and dispatch module helps with that

[limpid yarrow]

luck goes away when you have infintie money

[cloud storm]

Is this girl good? I dont have her, and idk her name but I like this outfit and she looks cool

[limpid yarrow]

support operators are not part of the shared pool

[rocky pilot]

I thought I was playing arknights not a yakuza game

[fathom nest]

Degenbrecher, she's okay

[rain forge]

She’s decent

[rocky pilot]

Good, just not meta
Also bad luck her skin was like a month ago you gotta wait for it to rerun again

[wintry steppe]

Degenbrecher, she's both good and bad

[cloud storm]

Aw poo☹️

[limpid yarrow]

has a lot of use in endgame modes tbh

[rocky pilot]

Good thing I already bought it not my problem

[cloud storm]

Om waiting for another BanG Dream collab because I fricking bought the other 2 sakiko teammate tokens and didnt know it wouldn't get the character if I reach 5 total

[limpid yarrow]

great in IS4 good in IS5 and strongest end piece for kjerag in SPA

[rocky pilot]

How good in is5 honestly

[pale tapir]

hoping for a second collab is rough just ask MH fans
but yeah tokens don't buy ops, you have to have the op to use the token on them

[limpid yarrow]

degen archetto clears all of it

maybe add ejya and some five stars
but very good

[rocky pilot]

Gonna list that then…

[pale tapir]

what makes her the strongest for kjerag faction? actually having damage?

[limpid yarrow]

+atk for every kjerag/swift stack
s1 has good multipliers and works with swift and aspd(both of which are very abundant)

S3 is a trap and must be avoided at all times

[rocky pilot]

Shit

[haughty holly]

[pale tapir]

lol did not know that noted
but yeah makes sense, been struggling with actually getting kjerag to do damage when I don't have pramerita
usually they just permastall and nothing dies

[undone portal]

what makes s3 bad for sp:a? is it the downtime or

[haughty holly]

What about inside IS6? Can I just ooga booga

[cloud storm]

Speaking of eyja, whos better- her or logos? Theyre both core casters no? Ppl keep telling me e2 eyja but then say "im gonna obliterate you if you dont e2 logos"

[pale tapir]

logos
and he wants deltamod3 as well

[limpid yarrow]

logos is def better

[undone portal]

logos is much better

[haughty holly]

Logos mogs every casters so far

[rocky pilot]

Can agree

[limpid yarrow]

no aspd scaling
au*o recovery

[wraith shoal]

what's siege best skill ?

[haughty holly]

The bench

[undone portal]

siege1? s2
vina s3

[young path]

where did the invest thing go

[wraith shoal]

not really an option

[rocky pilot]

Oh

[haughty holly]

🙂‍↕️

[wraith shoal]

when you do monthly missions you cant invest

[young path]

oh, ty

[undone portal]

if youre playing vanguardknights (which lets be real is the only context where siege works) she moves to s3 because she doesnt have to gen dp anymore
this is a temp rec, so go for s2 mod y

[frosty flame]

is there any 4 star worth going out of my way to apply the m3 token?

[cloud storm]

Idnt pozemka not even that great (or so I heard)

[undone portal]

ethan s2

[haughty holly]

The only 4 star I can think of is Ethan and myrtle

[static glade]

I got her in IS temporary recruit

[frosty flame]

ethan itd be then

[undone portal]

s3 mod x

[sharp crest]

Is savage still bad at e2?

[haughty holly]

Lipstick on a pig ah question

[sharp crest]

I want to use her, strong bunnywife

[broken flame]

Good lobby char with new skin

[limpid yarrow]

savage highlight is giving you a buck in spa 🔥

at least you get to see her in action there tho
probably one of the better tier I ops

[cloud storm]

Doesnt she have a nice gimmick- but thats really all

[limpid yarrow]

if you do like the skin consider playing more SPA

the gama mode was secretely designed to show off all your skins

[undone portal]

savage/insider sp:a opener goats

[cloud storm]

OH also very important question (i think)- is it better to convert my orignite prime into orundum before pulling?

[raven ermine]

It'll be done automatically

[cloud storm]

A lot of lads tell me just use them for skins but like... theyre not very USEFULL

[undone portal]

itll happen automatically if you pull without enough orundum so no need to go about it manually

[static glade]

Yeah she has those typewriter summons ig

[raven ermine]

And yes skins are purely cosmetics, they're not useful at all

[wintry steppe]

They're useful as emotional support

[undone portal]

pulls are technically the one way to get objective 'use' out of

[vital kelp]

My focus is at 200% if I look at Amiya skin before I go into a level

[undone portal]

skins are nice to look at though. it feels like youve given your operators gifts

[raven ermine]

They don't deserve gifts, they deserve to work harder

[undone portal]

thats what riic is for

[rocky pilot]

I wonder if yes or no

[pine plover]

[cloud storm]

Well yeah, but I thought if I were to use 34 orignite prime then itd be worth more than just using a flat 6000 orundum

[undone portal]

conversion rate is the same regardless

[young path]

speaking of skins is the ulpianus skin ever rerunning? if so when

[raven ermine]

You keep the excess, it's not wasted

[haughty holly]

We don't know

[sharp crest]

Idk I just started playing like 4 days ago

[fathom nest]

Check hermitzplanner

[broken flame]

save for Ulpianus L2D trust

[wintry steppe]

I'm sitting on 200+ originite rn, I think I should buy some skin

[cloud storm]

Oh🧍🏻‍♀️

[undone portal]

cn hasnt seen it rerun yet i dont think
its one of those skins that debuted during a vignette event so its gonna take a bit

[sharp crest]

How many orundum?

[rocky pilot]

Do you want a single 400% attack after 17 attacks?

[young path]

gg ulpianus sentenced to looking homeless for a couple more months

[wintry steppe]

30k ish

[rocky pilot]

50 pulls

[sharp crest]

How about her compared to siege?

[haughty holly]

Eh, has there ever been a skin that cost 28 primes?

[raven ermine]

Saving is a good option you know
No need to cave in just because you have currency, buy skins if you want them, not if you can afford them

[frosty flame]

I ngl feel like saria isnt contributing much nowadays, should I e2 her? I had left her at e1 lvl 40

[undone portal]

no but we just got exualt 27op

[broken flame]

27 OP exu2 skin

[haughty holly]

hg trying their luck

[pliant summit]

Most expensive is probably maid kaltist for actual money

[wraith shoal]

siege kinda sucks but she's good for glasgow gang base team

[raven ermine]

🤨

[haughty holly]

It comes with bonuses

[fathom nest]

og Exu and og Ch'en have $30 skins as well

[rocky pilot]

Bad and bad
Real question is why are you using both to begin with

[haughty silo]

do i get a some of dp back if i retreat an ops on annihilation?

okay thanks for the reaction guys

[pliant summit]

Dang

[undone portal]

correction: morgan is good for glasgow base team, e2ing siege doesnt do shit

[raven ermine]

Well, that, and why even recommend glasgow tp in the first place

[wraith shoal]

I didnt say she needed to be e2,but she's needed for morgan

[undone portal]

optimal base rotation has no time to cycle in glasgow anyway. the lv3 tp is on shamteq always

[cloud storm]

When's the next limited banner? Also- if I catch a unit like ceobe in the standard banner should I pull or just skip (or whatever meta is up)

[sharp crest]

Siege is my first 6 star, and savage is hawt

[raven ermine]

Even if it had time, pretty sure your CC is full of better options either way

[rocky pilot]

Ceobe is kernel, not standard

[undone portal]

right, glasglow hinges on dropping a cc slot on delphine

[rocky pilot]

Also why are you pulling on standard banner to begin with

[cloud storm]

Same thang same thang idk the difference... 💔

Whichever one is the last thingy on the slides

[raven ermine]

Don't pull standard anyway

[pallid basin]

252 base or 243

[wintry steppe]

How can you tell if an operator is standard or kernel

[fathom nest]

Banner details has all listed available

[sharp crest]

Here's my team currently, which operators should i invest?

[rocky pilot]

Find the difference between yellow and blue
Apologies for colourblind people

[raven ermine]

Look at both pools
Old ops are kernel
you can also look at this https://akgcc.github.io/shoplist/

[cloud storm]

Sussurro my goat >0<

[rocky pilot]

Oh god

[fathom nest]

Would be better off rerolling

[cloud storm]

Ngl ur acc kinda bricked tho

[sharp crest]

C'mon don't be mean to fellow Filipinos

[haughty holly]

[rocky pilot]

I know I am Malaysian but I am not being racist
This roster genuinely shocked me

[sharp crest]

Whyyy? I already invest time to reach chapter 4

[haughty holly]

Stop investing and reroll

[undone portal]

this is an unfortunate selection
if you really dont want to reroll, i guess just rush pozy + raidian once you have her

[raven ermine]

smells like fresh soil in here

[haughty holly]

U may think exu will save u but her glaring weakness of being unable to deal with high def will show very soon

[cloud storm]

Whyd you e1 matterhorn of all people 😭😭 brick cuora is right there

[sharp crest]

Any of these can save my account?

[haughty holly]

Absolutely not

[undone portal]

what will save your account is waiting 3months and pulling wang/ch'3n

[rocky pilot]

Savage, Exu, pozy as 6 stars is already unfortunate

ALSO NO

[raven ermine]

There's savage in that account
I have a feeling for why they don't want to reroll

[cloud storm]

I wouldve said reed alter but you have like no good arts dmg dealers...😭 And I knoe jack squat abt this game

[young path]

no need to reroll just have supports carry through story and save up till wang

[undone portal]

not wanting to reroll for an op they give out for free every year is a choice

[static glade]

Hmmm best option to reroll ig, but if you wanna stick to this probably invest in Cuora, gracebearer (for rn), exusiai, blue poison...

[haughty holly]

Me when I see someone go for waifu with a acc like a house made out of glass next to a beach

[rocky pilot]

Reed2 is not the worst but definitely not worth the gold certs

[raven ermine]

sunk cost fallacy wcyd 💳

[haughty holly]

They lack DPS reed wont save them

[cloud storm]

Errr is it bad that I use basically all of my gold certs on the permits

[rocky pilot]

@sharp crest Thus

[raven ermine]

Reed is a dps what ?

[cloud storm]

Cuz Ive never bought an operwtor from there bfore

[undone portal]

yes if you stopped before buying the full set

[rocky pilot]

I mean reed2 is still dps but like not the most honestly

[haughty holly]

Yeah but if I recall her DPS wasnt like game changing no?

[undone portal]

if you do the complete 258certs > 38pulls conversion its pretty good

[cloud storm]

No i always got all of em- the 10 pulls and all

[rocky pilot]

That was long time ago no?

[raw wigeon]

support unit can carry you for most stages so it's not like your account is dead in any sense. It's weird that you got mutsumi but nothing else though... Where were you

[rocky pilot]

Good
You did something right

[haughty holly]

[wraith shoal]

what's the general gameplan here

[cloud storm]

💔 thanks for the compliment I guess

[static glade]

Freez blu box ofc

[cloud storm]

Idk abt you guys but id take out my phone and watch an eckogen video

[undone portal]

lanehold top/bottom lane, block wang middle lane (probably close to bluebox)
clear out the weiqi rocks he summons

[raven ermine]

Still a very decent dps
S2 in optimal conditions is 6k dps which is very very high

[haughty holly]

Oh wtf

So is this considered acc saving op or

[sharp crest]

Since I lack dps, any decent dps here?

[native cargo]

Is bubble usable in chapter 15+?

[undone portal]

dropping 180certs on her is kinda account damage
esp considering theres a free selector with her on it in 6months

[raven ermine]

Reedic is slandered too much nowadays what is this
If they really plan to stick to the account i would cert reedic there, their roster is garbage

[rocky pilot]

Fuck no

[raven ermine]

Oh yeah there's the selector actually, scratch that

[rocky pilot]

Also why the hell do you have 4k red certs

[wintry steppe]

Y'all chill, bro is still new 😭

[native cargo]

Whos stronger cuora or raidan s1 summons

[haughty holly]

Pray next standard banner has better ops

[pseudo flume]

I mean people usually equate non-meta = shit nowadays

[sharp crest]

Any good dps here?

[cloud storm]

Are these guys good? Also do they rerun often in the kernel because they look badass

[undone portal]

in is6? raidian easily

[pseudo flume]

Meh, good in IS5

[native cargo]

Outside IS

dps from a 5* is cope tbh
I would read beginner guide in roadless in pins

[coarse notch]

this one is a bit outdated

Like- is silence not good lads 😭😭😭 am I being gaslit

[raven ermine]

Hoe should not be far away from shop either

[sharp crest]

Nah I'm too far to back away and make new account

[coarse notch]

silence is obtained from a different voucher and is also not a dps at all

[frosty flame]

silence is in a separate selector

[sharp crest]

Alright

[wintry steppe]

Ofcc someone said this when my reroll acc already followed that guide

[haughty holly]

Plz do not silence Alter

[cloud storm]

Well yeah ik shes not a dps, but theres reslly nobody in there eith worth no?

[coarse notch]

its fine its just tiny things that got changed

[frosty flame]

spectre is good

[cloud storm]

Except for maybe pramanix I thinks

[haughty holly]

Which one got changed so I can include it next time I use that link

[native cargo]

I cant decide weather i just build bubbles or continue my hunt for cuora should i keep gambling?

[coarse notch]

specter is good, the only reason why you take silence is because the voucher you get for her is dogshit

[rocky pilot]

Honestly from this perspective is not even that back what you on?
What level are you even you can literally get back to the same state in like 3 damn days (plus a better roster)

[frosty flame]

ive gotten so much use out of spectre

[pale tapir]

if you have bubble and no cuora use bubble
they even out e2 anyway

[cloud storm]

LITERALLY how is pramanix is not good- jesus what has everyone been telling me lately 😭😭😭

[coarse notch]

the new player vouchers have a whole guide in roadless now

[raven ermine]

Pramanix the supporter is very much not a dps and it's not even close
If you want dps there, you pick firewatch

[haughty holly]

Oki me check again

[pale tapir]

pramanix and pramanix the prerita are not the same operator functionally in game

[coarse notch]

what exactly is pramanix doing

[quick jolt]

pramanix is one of the worst choices there, they were probably talking about her very good 6star alter

[sharp crest]

Yeah I haven't used this

[cloud storm]

I clarified before that I knew pramanix isnt a dps- but just one of the few with value... jeez im getting bombed

[coarse notch]

silverash, dps

Silverash angle

also not a unit with value either, shes basically never used

[cloud storm]

Okay okay I know the answer to this one guys its sikverash 😏

[carmine olive]

Suzu mod?

[raven ermine]

Who told you that pram 5* has value ? You got lied to idk

[undone portal]

as long as the tile he lands on can be deployed on, all good

[pale tapir]

hoshiguma alter

[coarse notch]

modx1 or mody3 depending on how many resources you want to be throwing away

[wintry steppe]

If his landing spot is deployable then yes I think

[native cargo]

Damn shes limited

[undone portal]

dont
or if you must, mod y

[pale tapir]

the real question is what do you need that operator to do for you

[tepid moon]

Do the orientation banners count as standard banners or no like do they have shared pity

[pseudo flume]

Nuh uh, you are robbing my livelihood

[coarse notch]

standard, shared pity

[cloud storm]

Well ive been using her at max and shes pretty snazzy.... especially with my wis and silverash alter

[quick jolt]

they are standard and share pity

[frosty flame]

they do

[sharp crest]

Alright silverash picked, how about this?

[raven ermine]

Not you astrel, you get a pass

[cloud storm]

And then I combo her with 6* pramanix

[coarse notch]

what is she doing, her debuffs are not useful and thats all she does

[rocky pilot]

Surtr

i feel like shes not doing much in that team 😭

[haughty holly]

does this furniture set rerun in cn?

[coarse notch]

absolutely atrocious teambuilding, you have essentially a full squad of meta operators

[pale tapir]

then fix your base
/base and /baseskills in #bot-spam otherwise #r-i-i-c pins

[rocky pilot]

Okay
Did you manage your base

[undone portal]

suggesting e2 pramanix when the account has sakiko and mutsumi is right there
whoever suggested that did hate you im afraid

[quick jolt]

also logos, narantuya, lemuen, ascalon are some of the best operators in the game

[pale tapir]

leveling up everything is not the goal for base
again see /base and /baseskills in #bot-spamotherwise ⁠#r-i-i-c pins
my links broke

[haughty holly]

Nice try

[coarse notch]

when'd you get wis and virtuosa tho

[rocky pilot]

Wdym wrong things?
Base doesn’t have rng is there?

[quick jolt]

i agree but that doesnt mean hes no longer worth building for a relatively unbuilt account

[raven ermine]

Crazy amount of plants growing in this season tf

[severe crypt]

Very green this account is

[undone portal]

smells like an arboretum in here

[hidden nacelle]

smells fresh

[cloud storm]

I gkt virtuosa during silverash banner or smth I think and then I pulled 300 times to but wis from store

[sharp crest]

Aight my account safe now?

[haughty holly]

Ah yes a whale

[cloud storm]

ACTUALLY- I only spent 10 bucks out of all of those 300 pulls

[coarse notch]

damn 🐳

[haughty holly]

I'm very certain whoever lead u with their tips on how to build ur acc is jealous and hates u with his heart

[cloud storm]

I saved my fat ass off

[rocky pilot]

Sssssssss haaaaaaaaa
Yes

[hidden nacelle]

I wouldn't define a account of 90% level 1 safe

[undone portal]

this already looks a lot better. now go have fun

[cloud storm]

Would you like to be my mentor hehe 🥹

[haughty holly]

No u got this channel to help u I'm not that knowledgeable compared to people here

[rocky pilot]

Should have not pulled on standard and kernel to begin with but you saved your account
Don’t do that again

[wraith shoal]

yeah man what the hell. How are you supposed to do damage if you cant even place your ops for more than half a second

[hidden nacelle]

we will :cue hoe and sickle logo:

[pale tapir]

was your mon3/haruka not able to outheal the damage?

[sharp crest]

Aight I didn't know the difference that time

[sharp crest]

I can upgrade them later

[rocky pilot]

Still doesn’t explained why you pulled on standard banner

[raven ermine]

If you don't handle the go pieces as soon as possible the fight becomes very hard yes

[pseudo flume]

Simply have Yato2 to ignore stage mechanics for a bit or just have a ton of aspd 🤫

[cloud storm]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[sharp crest]

I have zero knowledge of the game lewl

[wraith shoal]

they couldnt do shit. As soon as I placed them the canons killed them

[rocky pilot]

Hashtag help channel

[haughty holly]

Valuable lesson to look for help before starting and messing up

[wraith shoal]

I suppose those are the reason my units were stunned permanently

[pale tapir]

IIRC what I did for that was drop haruka in middle right ranged tile, drop wis right above, have wis blow up everything, then start setting up bottom laneholding and top, then leizi alt hoshi alt around mid lanes
important to destroy balls as they're dropped

[pseudo flume]

Just don't pull next time and ask before pulling

[raven ermine]

If you're surrounded yes

[inner bramble]

what masteries does SA2 run?

[pseudo flume]

S3 > S2

[native cargo]

What other ops have taunt ability aside mylnar

[hidden nacelle]

lee

[inner bramble]

S3M3?

[haughty holly]

Like it should be a habit that when u start any games, u should go to the #help of whatever game it is

[wraith shoal]

fuck me then. I tried to get pram2 first to freeze boxes but then it all went downhill

[pale tapir]

I forgot if balls spawn around raidian summons
but she can help clear balls if they don't

[cloud storm]

My habbit is watching Eckogen and KyoStinV

[undone portal]

wouldve known this if you played weiqi before ball knowledge

[pseudo flume]

[raven ermine]

Astrel snailed me 🥹

[cloud storm]

What app even is that

[neat acorn]

What website is that

[pale tapir]

tomimidev

[hidden nacelle]

you really thought you were faster than astrelgpt

[pseudo flume]

Ya

[pale tapir]

what's confusing about tomimi is that the recruitment poster is actually a button
that's what lets you into the op filter page

[pseudo flume]

S2 has pretty low gains so he's fine having it at SL7 for now

[undone portal]

guide website having gimmick ui instead of being transparently useful 🥀

[young path]

why cant i rotate a single piece of furniture

[neat acorn]

Y

[undone portal]

because thats your bulletin board. you use that to check who has been visiting base and pick up your weekly clue allowance
you can rotate almost anything else

[cloud storm]

Is it best to overlap attack ranges or cover as much space as possible? Because for ascalon or other weird shaped attack ranges, I always get so icky when I lose like half of the attack range off the map

[pale tapir]

no unless you're playing mujicaknights

[pseudo flume]

Not really

[young path]

🥹 gg, makes sense

[pale tapir]

you just position your ops to handle whatever needs to be handled wherever it needs to be handled
100% map coverage is not a necessary thing at all

[neat acorn]

How many variants of arknights is there

[pseudo flume]

Just place stuff on choke points and adapt from there

[undone portal]

map coverage is important if the tiles youre covering actually contribute to dealing with the enemies faster

[pseudo flume]

Its just niches

[inner bramble]

the first step to becoming a good arknights player is identifying choke points/critical areas

[cloud storm]

Oh yes- I was also gonna ask abt that... where should I be putting matsumi? Because I usually extend her atk range with the other girl by putting an extended tile on her farthest block thing (idk how to describe)

[wide estuary]

I let my bro on my acc and he upgraded the right sided building to lvl 3… can my base still be saved or i just have to accept my fate

[neat acorn]

Accept

[pseudo flume]

More like learn how to use the Deployment Order and Retreat System

[rocky pilot]

Next time kill your brother

[cloud storm]

And then I put matsumi on one of the 5 main surrounding tiles

[inner bramble]

that's the second step

[undone portal]

this is the right idea anywhere where theres a lot of enemies so she has something to hit during s2, and thus have a way to supercharge fever for sakiko

[pale tapir]

mutsumi should be within uika's on skill range so that you can gen fever really fast unless you have good reason to put her elsewhere

[pseudo flume]

Can be salvaged but it's inferior to a full 252 but better than a 243

[haughty holly]

Accept ur fate and make sure ur bro never touch ur game ever again

[undone portal]

^ if you want to play around fever charging you should run sakiko/uika/mutsumi at minimum

[cloud storm]

If I had full sakiko team, would it be better to use entire team or use what I have rn and some other people

[frosty flame]

I dont have any other 6 star defenders either

[cloud storm]

Ye those r the only mfs I have... unfortunately

[neat acorn]

Some other poeple

[pale tapir]

no just mod2 minimum your sakichan and put in wis tbh
you have enough good ops to not run bandori unless you want to for fun

[wide estuary]

So what would my “best” setup be? Like from the reception room and under are all upgraded

[undone portal]

didnt play the event and get the others?

[pale tapir]

rip permanent base damage
/base and /baseskill in #bot-spam and #r-i-i-c pins
252 layout
even with max right 252 outproduces

[neat acorn]

Same same

[wide estuary]

Thank you

[neat acorn]

Kinda crazy how they haven’t let us downgrade the right side left

[sharp crest]

Until what chapter he usable?

[haughty holly]

Everything

[pale tapir]

until whatever chapter you want
everyone is "usable" if you make them

[neat acorn]

Ch0

[cloud storm]

Forever-sies

[undone portal]

hes just generally decent, doesnt really 'fall off' until you own better dps options

[pseudo flume]

Reminds me of the guy that cried here because his bro spent all his life savings on a general banner while he was showering

[cloud storm]

Is wisadel an inexpendable unit or is she sometimes bootable

[neat acorn]

Bootable

[undone portal]

you could reasonably bring wis'adel everywhere and find something for her to do

[pale tapir]

you can clear the entire game's content without wis

[sharp crest]

Rip how much exactly?

[haughty holly]

Just make sure when he gets s3 he's somewhere safe cuz he -40% def

[cloud storm]

Okay well I'm dog shit so i need carries

[undone portal]

definitely situations where you would rather bring in someone else but wis is great

[sharp crest]

I can only afford e1 atm, is his second skill better than first?

[frosty flame]

does m3 on reg silverash s3 give starting sp

[rocky pilot]

Employed silverash can be used for everything in the main chapter

[neat acorn]

I don’t remember that -40% def or is it his s3

[pseudo flume]

Like 300 - 400 pulls worth

[pale tapir]

even in the cases where wis isn't ideal draft you can still use her to mop up mobs or something

[haughty holly]

His s2 makes Silverash into a hybrid tank
Good for holding lane

[rocky pilot]

And this is why I love being the only child

[sharp crest]

Rrahhh

[wide estuary]

Oh, should I continue to build raidian? Her upgrade mission are annoying though

[timber finch]

people having thoses issues never heard about passwords i feel like

[rocky pilot]

Well I am not now but they’re too young to touch my phone anyways

[sharp crest]

Aight how about surtur?

[haughty holly]

Yeah he's a year 0 ops they're notorious for having downsides

[neat acorn]

[pale tapir]

just go play the game blud 😭 you can use whoever you want some ops are just stronger than others (and therefore better value by virtue of letting you clear more stuff)

[haughty holly]

Like look at amiya

Auto activated s2 into 10+ seconds stun

[sharp crest]

Most people here says my account bricked before I get silverash, what's your point

[undone portal]

ive seen people get by just fine with some incredibly cursed team compositions
just pay attention to tutorials and figure out what youre doing and youll be fine

[neat acorn]

I only e2 my Amiya to unlock the story

[cloud storm]

Is there any free character that is worth building? Like the people you get when you have 12 stars or wtv

[timber finch]

can't really brick an account, slow at best only

[undone portal]

if it helps i never said 'bricked', just in a bad position no ak acc is unsalvageable

[raven ermine]

I mean, just look up how far e0 players can go, it'll change your mind

[pale tapir]

the point is that you won't reach ch16 and suddenly every "bad" op falls asleep when you deploy them and costs 999 dp
people saying an account is "bricked" are just exaggerating

[rocky pilot]

Also everything
Just know that if “just surtr it” works it works

[sharp crest]

I actually can't progress tho stuck at chapter 4-4 can't depend on support anymore

[timber finch]

finds out "why" then
Also you can still use supports, just get friends for now with the units you want

[undone portal]

raidian/kroos alter/tequila are the main ones to look at
your account has too many meta 6stars to worry about this anymore tho

[raven ermine]

?
Can depend on support, what

[neat acorn]

Isn’t that because they are experienced players

[rocky pilot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ_ty58KXJI

[wide estuary]

Just KyostinV it

[cloud storm]

Wait wait I can help with that one, that level was a pain in my ass

[rocky pilot]

You can literally shaw it wdym pain

[undone portal]

isnt 4-4 just roadblock gaming

[cloud storm]

Thats exactly wtf I do bro 😭😭😭 Eckogen my goat too

[neat acorn]

John roadblock

[raven ermine]

Yeah obviously they're good players
Point is, you're not gated by stats, skill will go a long way over raw meta, without restrictions you're clearing the game with whatever you want

[undone portal]

actually isnt 4-4 the site of the legendary kyostinv crashout vid

[timber finch]

it.. actually is

[pale tapir]

I can't remember if 4-4 standard was cleared with 0 ops deployed

[undone portal]

it is

[wide estuary]

I remember when I was stuck on ||7-18, Yknow… patriot|| I just quite literally kyostinv it

[rocky pilot]

4-4 is just roadblocks, maybe a shaw, and a crownslayer slowly suffocating to death

[cloud storm]

So, what exactly do I need to level up in my base again... mfs said riic and I have little to no knowledge of what the means if im ngl

[raven ermine]

check #bot-spam /base and /baseskills

[timber finch]

this shaw isnt even that much leveled in the video, prob only skill4 at worst expense

[undone portal]

#r-i-i-c channel, check pins
the spreadsheet by phlegyas is your base wiki now

[sharp crest]

Damn so it's not my operators fault lol

[pale tapir]

if they're clearing standard they can bring a robot and still clear

[undone portal]

4-4 lancet2 solo

[rocky pilot]

Invest your brain iq in arknights iq

[timber finch]

i guess probably would need more roadblock placement but yeah

[cloud storm]

When I first started playing (before I took a random break) it was during the BanG Dream collab and I was stuck on 1-4... I watched a Kyostinv video and he was calling the dog an "ugly asshole dog" and I knew that was my goat ever since

[languid swallow]

cancer solo 🤓

[neat acorn]

Just borrow Wis and win

[dense veldt]

does pram need mod3 or is mod1 okay

[wide estuary]

KyostinV my AK YouTube goat… idk about any other AK YouTubers tho

[raven ermine]

mod2 and you can go up to 3 if you have spare resources

[undone portal]

mod1 works. upgrades are kinda low impact imo but its a decent mod on a good unit so you wont regret mod3

[languid swallow]

what does she gain at mod2

[raven ermine]

Faster snow tiles

[undone portal]

faster snow accumulation

[timber finch]

snow damage iirc
& faster yeah

[languid swallow]

[robust thistle]

0.5s faster :sorawow:

[cloud storm]

Eckogen is a pretty nice one. Kyostinv always has some weird timing thing into his, but eckogen is a little more simpler but more prone to failure or relies a bit on leveling

[wide estuary]

Yknow after rerolling 3 times now, I can finally settle without relying on KyostinV, maybe in the future though

[undone portal]

kyo has good thorough explanations for his strats
ecko has generally simpler clears
oyuki lets you turn your brain off
if the others do low end clears, willizer does lowest end

my four horsemen of guidemakers

[neat acorn]

The poeple who makes guides for tutorials are goated too

[wide estuary]

Oh I did watch one other AK YouTuber, goes by suppah I think

[cloud storm]

Yeah I like when kyo pauses and explains why I have to do what I have to do... otherwise Ill use a skill too early and blow the whole operation

[rocky pilot]

That one shaw tutorial with metal crabs

[cloud storm]

People who make arknighrs tuts on hard levels with just 3-4 stars remind me of Brawhalla people who use real people as their gameplay dummies

[pseudo flume]

What if Oyuki explains too but you just can't understand it because its Japanese

[ancient lintel]

how to use push strokers

[young path]

cant wait for every kyostinv guide to turn into "borrow wang" after his banner

[neat acorn]

Learn Japanese

[wide estuary]

Is wang actually that good?

[cloud storm]

Wut does that mean

[slim tusk]

learn chinese and use bili instead ril

[pseudo flume]

Highest dmg dealer rn ig

[neat acorn]

Cn ofc

[inland swallow]

global range arts dmg

[haughty holly]

Is he as braindead as Wis

[opaque remnant]

the day I learned you can place specialists... on the fucking ranged tiles

[inland swallow]

even more braindead ig

[cloud storm]

Isnt a new Chen alter coming out with him

[wide estuary]

3 years ago my rotten luck couldn’t get a single 6 star except for surtr so I struggled, and from that point I made 2 more acc with better rolls but no luck, I’m on my 4th one so I’m good

[neat acorn]

You have to place the bombs manually

[inland swallow]

literally what trapmaster wants, global range

[pseudo flume]

Nah needs abit more braincells to decide where to place the traps

[undone portal]

i speak japanese 💢 he usually just talks about meta or other stuff and lets the clear speak for itself

[robust thistle]

doesnt all trapmasters have global range

[haughty holly]

Then wisadel is still a clear answer

[inland swallow]

ah i see.. hehe... tho u can put his orbs anywhere in deployable tiles and boom boom

[cloud storm]

Ohhhhhhhh... so, does me just having an alt acc mean it was a reroll or... cuz my main has WAY better ones than my alt

[wide estuary]

Is there a release date?

[robust thistle]

wang isnt the only trapmaster with global range

[pseudo flume]

Roughly in 3 months

[cloud storm]

I thought it was in like 3 months or smth

[pale tapir]

if we count the stages with only ranged tiles then only wang

[inland swallow]

July

[undone portal]

wang is More global because he can put his mines in undeployable tiles

[haughty holly]

Stick to main

[pseudo flume]

Ehem

[robust thistle]

technically true

[cloud storm]

Hehehehw guys guys im EXTREMELY slowly but surely becoming one of you guys... believe in me

[raven ermine]

Nope ela has delta module

[wide estuary]

I guess I gotta hold my urges to pull til then

[inland swallow]

hehe July or August ig

[pseudo flume]

No Speculation btw

That's why we are vague as possible when answering

[inland swallow]

hmm based on last year cny banner ig

[cloud storm]

Well I always use up my sanity in a day so I just hop onto my alt to have funsies :p but then I get mad because my alts lowkey bricked and I cant beat a single level

[neat acorn]

Maybe this year

[inland swallow]

u can refer to that usually July to August

[haughty holly]

Support unit exist

[cloud storm]

Yeah but then I wont be able to auto deploy so...

[wintry steppe]

TR 15

[neat acorn]

Ye wang is coming this year

Probably

[wintry steppe]

We know it's coming this year

[inland swallow]

ah i see... hehe i thought other trapmaster are restricted by their range

[neat acorn]

Wang is maybe coming this decade

[rocky pilot]

Wang is coming this century

[sick night]

What do I do here? I can’t remember. I hit all 4 statues until the skill was full and activated them but the beams don’t fire and I gradually die…

[undone portal]

yostar could go bankrupt tomorrow. what if the world was made of pudding

[rocky pilot]

The sun explodes early

[languid swallow]

arts wisadel slop

[neat acorn]

Isn’t this just a dps check

[cloud storm]

In alter banners, is the og always available in it? Like for wang alter, could I lose the 50/50 (or whether its called, im using genshin terms here) and get og wang

[inland swallow]

btw it is no speculation, just refer to last year cny, look at the pattern, not far from there for the month he'll be released

[haughty holly]

Why would u want auto deploy on story stages besides 1-7 and a few more stages

[neat acorn]

Hit pillar to fill up then active them

[worldly sky]

you need to hit the pillars a lot constantly

[undone portal]

activating the beams moves them forward Once. keep going
