[wraith sentinel]

SilverAsh.

[nova nest]

How much fluid would you guys suggest farming up? Would it be one of those rarely used resources?

Don't have plans for who to raise so no Krooster check, just interested in general demand for fluid

[hexed adder]

Yostar so far throw the 5* selector on summer banner event

[abstract mauve]

list of events that have had a voucher according to wiki. next one is during kal2 event

global had it shifted to Ato
uhhh yeah

[hexed adder]

And it was wrong selector (blame Yostar)

[abstract mauve]

it's during anniversary in general that they give one

[oblique cypress]

when is the eos voucher

[wraith sentinel]

Yeah, Yostar messed up then because we got the selector for 5*s up to "As in My Adumbration" last time and not "Like Ending Like Death".

[abstract mauve]

saying banner names like i know what those banners are 😭

[gaunt vapor]

will that vocher include grey alt? also damn kal2 is like 5 months from now QAQ

[wraith sentinel]

I don't know either, but I do know Aroma isn't on the one we got last.

[abstract mauve]

i can check CN rq, but it should

[hexed adder]

Jan for en

[wraith sentinel]

Yeah, even the old voucher has Greyy the Lightningbearer.

[hexed adder]

Other server got it right btw, only EN gave wrong selector

[wraith sentinel]

Yostar moment.

[fresh anvil]

they hate global?

[abstract mauve]

ye it has greyy2

[wraith sentinel]

Yes.

[hexed adder]

Global other than EN is fine

[abstract mauve]

also it is likely we get this voucher 6 months after kal2

[gaunt vapor]

i dont have older vouchers. and i think greyy alt is going into kernel soon. at least i dont see him in the CN server. i was bored and figure out cn server last week. i got no kal2 with 130 pulls btw ( farm all i could in a week)

[fresh anvil]

yay shamare

[wraith sentinel]

The voucher includes Kernel operators.

[modest goblet]

If my device lags, its probably better to put the performance level to be low right? Or would that make the game laggier (idk how this works)

[frank wing]

theres 4 skins still in the shop, they seem to me like they shouldn't still be available but are they supposed to be

[gaunt vapor]

here i come 5 months from now my 243 will get another 30% boost on gold production :p

[hexed adder]

Low performance will make it lighter yea, slightly. fps fine with 60

[wraith sentinel]

Different rotation, not a mistake.

[gaunt vapor]

wish we can have these more often now that more OP in the pools

[lunar orbit]

does noone play ussgknights

[abstract mauve]

yes

[gaunt vapor]

like every limited banner give us one 5 stars selectors and allow buying $30 6* selector. (so 4 times a year instead of 2 times a year :/)

[left tulip]

rip

zima alt on the way tho!!!

[lunar orbit]

but with zima alter it should be alr ?

[abstract mauve]

she'd be the only half decent operator in the bunch

[lunar orbit]

lol

[frank wing]

gummy's not that bad

[wraith sentinel]

Lessing because of the Record Restoration for Zwillingstürme im Herbst, Crownslayer for I Portatori dei Velluti rerun, and the Sui/Jessica outfits because crossover rerun.

[lunar orbit]

ill just force it to work when i have all the ussgknights chars.

[daring helm]

Gummy is good for her rarity but the rest are ouch

[wraith sentinel]

Gummy's very nice for IS, yeah.

[stray grotto]

[lament loom]

Safe to discuss Closure as upcoming op?

[stray grotto]

I have 40 ddr5

[lament loom]

Yeah, u could say that.

[ancient current]

only thing you'll explode for is speculating on release date or talking about lore, as channel rules in pins explain

[rigid basalt]

Can I do anything with these?

[astral jackal]

Who do I choose I'm still on 2-10

[wraith sentinel]

Exchange in the Certificate shop for Certificates.

[ancient current]

convert them into green certificates in the shop

[ancient current]

surtr would be a fine pick

[hexed adder]

Do it in Kernel section (for RI logo)

[wraith sentinel]

Was free a while ago.

[astral jackal]

Idk I just found it in my depot

[rigid basalt]

Oh! The ones that didn't exchange in green cert shop are different

[lament loom]

Ahh fairs. If Closure is the new upcoming op, I assume there's usually a story for new ops then?

[rigid basalt]

Thank you!

[ancient current]

yes, that's why you don't pull kernel

[ancient current]

yes, that's for #ak-lore though

[nova nest]

Eja and Bagpipe have too steep of a competition, so it's between Surtr and Saria, and chat likes damage more

[ancient current]

absolutely none

[wraith sentinel]

Speaking of Closure, have there been any funny uses for her S3 debuff?

[hexed adder]

Yea, u have max potential the ops first b4 u can convert it

[lament loom]

Gotcha, ty.

[wraith sentinel]

Only Kernel Locating so you can choose an operator to buy from the shop (if you really want them).

Kal'tsit - Esperanta is the limited operator on that banner, Closure is a standard but won't get a proper rerun because of debuting on a limited banner (operators that debut on a vignette release similarly don't get proper reruns, like Leizi the Thunderbringer).

[ancient current]

max potential is p6 btw not p5
p0 means you don't own the operator

[wraith sentinel]

Not a proper rerun, she only has a 25% rate-up.

[ancient current]

they meant a solo rateup banner

[haughty zenith]

I have now beaten is6 difficulty 3. And it's starting to get hard for my new player account. I'm grinding it for the ressources.

So is it better to do other ISs or continue IS6 for best lmd and exp output to level my characters?

[ancient current]

you'd rather do is5. it's the most cheesable

[haughty zenith]

Does it have good rewards too?

[ancient current]

yes, all IS mostly have very similar rewards

[worldly carbon]

IS5 is very easy, IS3 is a bit easy on low diff
you can take the resources from them and invest it
all IS have similar rewards
IS2 sucks it's slow af

[wraith sentinel]

Is it? I got through the reward track almost the same time I beat D15 (including all the failed runs, but still).

[haughty zenith]

So IS5 is the best got it. I want to do higher difficulties to get the rewards faster lol. I love the game mode but i want to level my characters quickly to actually do it with many characters!

[lament loom]

Lvl 110 is mod blocks one on reward track I think

[spiral osprey]

What da heck la pluma is strong aoe

[worldly carbon]

IS3 is very easy especially for a newbie since you can get krooster for free
before IS5 I was beating IS3 with a single character when I was still a dumbass ._.
oops wrong thing

[wraith sentinel]

Monthly from the Purchase Certificate shop, from Stationary Security Service, from weekly missions, and such.

[wraith sentinel]

(I meant IS2, yeah.)

[haughty zenith]

I have e2 lvl 30 Silverash2 Pram2 and ulpianous and Texas alter. Other than those all are e1 mid levels

[lament loom]

This one

[spiral osprey]

I e2 la pluma

[worldly carbon]

IS2 is just slow, repetitive, doesn't have as many mechanics
it becomes a chore pretty quickly

[wraith sentinel]

Fair enough.

Currently just started IS3, will see how it goes.

[lament loom]

The gamble time will begin

[haughty zenith]

So IS3 or 5?

[worldly carbon]

just bring stun to aerial enemies

[ancient current]

is5 if you want rewards fast

[lament loom]

Is5 better, cheesable strat

[wraith sentinel]

Me when I roll a 1 but it's still smooth sailing for some reason.

[haughty zenith]

Thanks will do!

[wraith sentinel]

There aren't any except for the tag combinations that guarantee a 4*+.

[lament loom]

3 mil lmd will be gone in few days or less

[worldly carbon]

^ true and can relate

[wraith sentinel]

Check https://www.krooster.com/tools/recruit for example when doing recruitment to see if you can guarantee something.

[ancient current]

/rectags in #bot-spam also exists

[lament loom]

Use recruit tag calc from krooster if u find tags that seem like it guarantees any op

[neat acorn]

What skill does ulpi uses

[lament loom]

S3 for active skill use with strong numbers and funny re-targeting. S2 is just comfort skill with 3 block count and massive stat boost upon activation

[wraith sentinel]

How is it complicated.

Just put the tags and see the results.

[neat acorn]

Buy the mats

[worldly carbon]

guys I'm noob is stainless good
what if I do stainless puzzle

[ancient current]

ibis you already know stainless isn't good

[worldly carbon]

can't even have some fun tsk

[lament loom]

Meta is fun and not fun at the same time, thats the funny part lol

[ancient current]

I'm afraid I don't discriminate when I evict

[buoyant sigil]

that’s like good though??? (for merchantknights)

[tired ledge]

is qiubai still relevant in most content?

[neat acorn]

Can I use the skill then die or will it not count to the module missions

[wraith sentinel]

Which Module specifically?

[neat acorn]

Ulpi

[worldly carbon]

actually was she ever relevant? I only ever use her to stall quilon

[ancient current]

not really

[neat acorn]

Do I have to win for it to count

[tired ledge]

hence i asked the question

[buoyant sigil]

Most 6* do work well for general content though being relevant over others is not something she accomplishes

[wraith sentinel]

Clear the stage? Yes. For the first mission you can do Heart of Surging Flame stages because they cost 0 Sanity.

[hexed adder]

AO is manual refill yea

[buoyant sigil]

Heart of surging flame my beloved. Besides the stun snipers. Screw those

[tired ledge]

can u elaborate

[worldly carbon]

-# I'm almost sure for long term DP like anni it generates more DP than Sa2 S3 on paper tbh

[astral jackal]

Which 5 star

[wraith sentinel]

Base, permanent content (IS and RA) and event shops (not the unlimited, that has terrible conversion).

Reclamation Algorithm, pins have more information.

[lament loom]

Reclamation Algorithm. Mostly endgame content tbh.

[neat acorn]

Where is the stage located in again

[wraith sentinel]

Summertime Beats.

[lament loom]

Side Story. OF-1 or smthing

[urban bolt]

Wasn't this not recommended at all?

[neat acorn]

Oh ye

[buoyant sigil]

Usually the bar is very low for clearing gen. content like side stories or main story. We do recommend the most meta here, though always be aware that you can usually make use of near anything and still win the whole game can be cleared by solely using 4 stars so consequently while not the best a lot of things considered “mid” here can work

[hexed adder]

Proviso

[wraith sentinel]

It isn't. Not so great gains while also being very resource intensive.

[worldly carbon]

you start losing money to get barely 1 pull before you get poor

[urban bolt]

Why are you fsrming this if you are new then

[buoyant sigil]

… so if you like an operator, don’t be afraid to use them. Uh, fun > meta, despite what we might say. Nothing is stopping you

[worldly carbon]

if you're new, you have alot of stages to beat that can translate into pulls

[lament loom]

Theres other sources of getting pulls that isnt destroying ur base

OP - Originium Prime. U get them from clearing stages. And weekly Annihilation (raise your cap first then work on auto-deploy later).

[lyric lagoon]

bud just joined and he’s already crippling his resources, this gotta be bait

[tired ledge]

might eventually build some operators including her, but w/ lower prio since resource being scarce unless she has a rly good niche to be worth considerably

[valid trail]

Isn't that a team?

[lament loom]

Amiya is mid icl

[lyric lagoon]

look in pins for beginner guides

[lament loom]

Great all rounder for several classes but I cant seem to find her delivering value a lot of a time

[buoyant sigil]

Guess so. You do you! Uh, to my knowledge, though, she doesn’t have a specific niche. I don’t usually see her mentioned much. Oh well

[lyric lagoon]

amiya is just bad, her only saving grace is true dmg and that’s hard copium

[worldly carbon]

her performance compared to others is questionable
when you can just use click and get things done
the one thing amiya does different is true damage

[lament loom]

Yeah lol

[buoyant sigil]

(And that true damage is in no way necessary nor that worthwhile ngl)

[tired ledge]

noted

[drowsy timber]

Who to build next:
Horn, Archetto, Eyjafjalla, Pepe?

I have a lot of defender, but Horn is rather unique me thinks.
Thinking of Eyja because my only caster is logos.
Pepe... idk what she does, I saw some funni stun lock, but, unsure if she's good (have a lot of guards like zuo le, executor, other lane holders)

Archetto... Unsure, prob just for IS? Already have Wisadel, Typhon, and Narantuya

[lyric lagoon]

calling amiya mid is underselling how awful she is

[drowsy timber]

caster amiya bad
other amiya usable

[lyric lagoon]

guard amiya is the worst, medic amiya is usable

[worldly carbon]

I give a pass to medicmiya
but the rest is kinda eh

[lyric lagoon]

besides, this context is caster anyways

[lament loom]

Medicmiya in IS is fine ig. Castermiya is extremely niche me thinks

[drowsy timber]

gib though pls

[worldly carbon]

I thought you said you beat all stages?

[wraith sentinel]

Story.

[buoyant sigil]

Archetto is IS super niche yes
Eyja is not very used nowadays. Mid helidrop and cope afk skill are usually her only options.
Horn is usually more damage focused yeah, not much input on her. She’s not amazing, but not bad. Just low prio.
Pepe can deal good damage with a great aoe and stun… IF enemies get in range. To be honest, she’s not that good, though also certainly not that bad

[lament loom]

Uhhh this sounds like a bad idea.

[wraith sentinel]

[drowsy timber]

hmmm so, save resources?

[worldly carbon]

medicmiya is unlocked at ch14 dear

[lament loom]

[lament loom]

This will be u @arctic mountain

[buoyant sigil]

Pepe has a giant problem in that she wants to attack constantly but only has 1 tile range and kills individual enemies too fast to make good use of her s3. It is quite funny a situation

[drowsy timber]

not worth, you still have like 10 billion pulls from side story and main story
converting rocks to pulls is for people who cleared everything

[lyric lagoon]

bud thinks that having an unoptimized base with originium farming will even produce anything

[worldly carbon]

just go beat some sidestories and other stages you're just losing time and resources on something that gives you very little in exchange
also beat all annihilations

[urban bolt]

Wasn't it like 10 pulls a month while losing lots of resources in exchange?

[buoyant sigil]

Probably the play. If you like them, it’s fine to build them, but none are high priority at all and you probably will have operators that have better usage in time

[drowsy timber]

What if... I have stainless? does that make Pepe usable? (We entering cope mode, my favourite mode)

[lament loom]

Best advice we can offer is just optimizing ur base and not wasting resources on pulls when u can get them from uncleared content. And Annihilation has orondum cap that u can raise.

[lyric lagoon]

not just losing resources, bricking resource gain while losing resources

[wraith sentinel]

Farming Originium will just make things worse.

Truly an allegory of the narrative, I kneel Hypergryph.

[worldly carbon]

2 bad doesn't equal 1 good
I wish it was that easy, I'd make a team of 12 bad operators

[lyric lagoon]

pepe is usable if you like RA

[drowsy timber]

I'm level 84, and I think there's still at least 1000 orundumbs I haven't collected from side stories

[buoyant sigil]

Crackfilled idea but ykw sure her s3 has an aoe that increases when she attacks but she doesn’t usually… attack enough
If you cope hard enough it could be worth though ig?

[lyric lagoon]

we have RA3 coming in like about 7-8 months or whatever

[drowsy timber]

Wait, I am actually thinking of playing RA. is Pepe actually usable there? or is that super duper mad cope?

[buoyant sigil]

Yes. She has a specialized RA module that reduces her redeployment time by 95%.

[wraith sentinel]

Annihilation Simulations are all permanent, they just rotate.

[drowsy timber]

95% ?! HOLY HELI DROP

[buoyant sigil]

Yep. In RA, she’s a frd.

[lyric lagoon]

she also clears resource nodes crazy fast while doing pretty big aoes

[lament loom]

That reminds me, is there RA3 update?

[drowsy timber]

WELP TIME TO BUILD PEPE

[lyric lagoon]

we got mountain skin and gameplay preview

[lament loom]

Wait wha

[worldly carbon]

I said beat
if you do annihilation 400/400 you're rewarded with I think 1700 orundum once for like 25 sanity so if you haven't beaten all other annihilations yet, they are currently all open so you should do them

[lyric lagoon]

you should’ve realized from the image post alone that it’s a ragebait alt acc already

[buoyant sigil]

If you’re really gonna do it, then also look into passenger and eunectes sometime they have the other 2 available ra modules which are actually pretty good. Eunectes becomes not shit and passenger has great util (no environmental damage)

[pale tapir]

this just looks like old account my guy
easily recoverable to a more comfortable clearing level

[drowsy timber]

Bro's playing just for pull, but even then, he's not getting pulls

[worldly carbon]

bro I don't get these things, I'm slow

[pale tapir]

ur just baiting atp
my account was a day 1 account and I recovered it
people here literally told me to reroll it

[drowsy timber]

don't worry, in that 6 years, you have 2000 orundumbs waiting

[lament loom]

That acc looks like u had a very long break. I had a same thing dw

[drowsy timber]

inclusive of side story

[worldly carbon]

-# the yellow currency is named originite prime btw, also known as op

[grizzled galleon]

How long have you been playing again?

cause I am also confused looking at your krooster

[wintry steppe]

Or maybe create another email account and start rerolling without deleting your main account

[pale tapir]

don't bother if you like the acc
like I said, I recovered my day 1 account and the best I had on it was e1 exia, blaze, and vigna
I literally had 0 e2 ops because I didn't know how to unlock e2
you're fine just chill and enjoy the game

[neat acorn]

Had mod3 hoshi2 for like some weeks and forgot the equip her mod till now

[ancient current]

do you have a question

[neat acorn]

Is there someway to equip them automatically after getting them or do you have to manually go and do it

[mild yacht]

They do equip automatically when you get them.
They don’t when they’re already in a squad.

[neat acorn]

Thanks

[mild yacht]

Just get into a habit of wiping the whole squad after doing mod objectives.

[pale tapir]

or just equip the mod

[vital kelp]

or just use modless like a ril chad-

[mild yacht]

Or don’t and let your auto equip it for you.

[keen hedge]

It was cool to finally E2 your very first operator and get surprised by the big splash art 🥹 👍

[vital kelp]

what does d12 even do in is5

[ancient current]

read its effects

[vital kelp]

it says the age thing go to max i dont know what that means

[ancient current]

yeah epochs hit harder

[vital kelp]

harder like in what way

[runic willow]

The dusk and ros?

[ancient current]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Sarkaz's_Furnaceside_Fables/Epochs

[keen hedge]

Why 🤔 are you saving exactly 400 pulls ReChord?

[worldly carbon]

he wants max pot iirc

[ancient current]

yes i'm aiming for p6

[keen hedge]

But why 400

[ancient current]

safer

[vital kelp]

i was aiming 500 pulls for max pot sakiko and with 2 set of tokens

did u buy tokens rechord or planning to when red cert refresh

[spiral osprey]

i got elsium on my last 10 pull on starter recruitment what da heck!!!! :’(

[ancient current]

I'll just skip everything before kalter and whale if necessary

[ancient current]

remember #salt-mines is the channel to share pull results

[spiral osprey]

owww okk mb

[runic willow]

Are you biased towards Kal'tsit perchance

[ancient current]

why do you think I'd be aiming for p6

[stray grotto]

arent dupes kinda worthless

[worldly carbon]

-# isn't it obvious by just looking

[ancient current]

yes, yes they are

[vital kelp]

they are useless but not worthless

[stray grotto]

then why

[ancient current]

wife

[keen hedge]

If you got an early 6 ⭐ continuing to pull doesnt guarantee anything 🥺

[worldly carbon]

to show love

[runic willow]

Sometimes you do weird things for love

[vital kelp]

simp

[bright lake]

would yall say beanstalk is a strong pick for IS6 ed2 sui foot boss?

[faint lotus]

Mitm

[bright lake]

or is that cope

[ancient current]

there is a clear difference between pulling for meta and saving accurately, and pure personal bias
the latter is the case here, and unless you like the operator like I do you shouldn't be aiming for p6

[worldly carbon]

yes I use her summon to bait the foot
mitm also works
raidian also works if you know his mechanics tho

[bright lake]

oh shit, his wreckage counts?

[spiral osprey]

🙁

[faint lotus]

Yep

[worldly carbon]

it's also a summon

[ancient current]

they're units so yes
summons count

[faint lotus]

Mitm the master baiter

[vital kelp]

are you skipping pulling wang rechord

[ancient current]

there are banners before kalter?

[vital kelp]

i was planning on skipping hoshiter too until i got her from free pulls
i hope u get spooked

[ancient current]

in any case you shouldn't be skipping wang
anyways, moving on

[vital kelp]

although i still regret no haruka but whatever i wasnt pulling

[bright lake]

ngl mitim is kinda big brain for ed2. buuut its a vg voucher and costs hope

[worldly carbon]

just use raidian

[ancient current]

bah only like what, 1 hope if you save the voucher

[worldly carbon]

if you know how the boss targetting works raidian can do just fine

[bright lake]

what happens when sui foot stomps a tactician vg' summon tac point?

[vital kelp]

is class squads still good in is5? lowkey feel like they outclassed by others

[faint lotus]

O hope on lower difficulties

[ancient current]

idk but i know they just despawn and never come back until you redeploy the tactician if they get crushed under ch9 pillars

dunno if it's the same mechanic for sui foot lol

[bright lake]

wow lmao i imagine it would be the same for sui foot but idk either

[worldly carbon]

you monster
it is

[bright lake]

also, are mitim' wreckage' damagable? / do they have block?

[ancient current]

yes

they all block 1

[bright lake]

ok cool

[ancient current]

you can just consider them as normal summons, like raidian's or mayer's or deepcolor's
only difference is they don't take up deployment slots or dp, they just split from the main point

[bright lake]

and yeah, was just asking for alternatives, cus im on d15 and got a f5 vg voucher, but i alr have E2 SA and E2 myrtle. so ill just go with mitim and test the waters

[faint lotus]

Mitm’s wreckages are so good against any ranged boss

[bright lake]

ed2*

wow mitim is actually good for smth, crazy work

now its sand reckoners turn to do the same

[faint lotus]

Mitm is really good, generally

[worldly carbon]

sand reckoner can't do anything else anyways I guess

[faint lotus]

He’s 4 respawning gravels in a trench coat

[bright lake]

yall are rly reaching lol

[ancient current]

yeah uh not sure about the gravels
the wreckages implode the moment a light breeze touches them

[bright lake]

maybe strictly within the 5* niche, but atp why not just use BK

[faint lotus]

He’s like 1.5 respawning gravels in a trench coat

[ancient current]

lol who tf is drafting blacknight

[bright lake]

stronger an alternative than mitim

[faint lotus]

For very aggressive stalling with mr nothing

[ancient current]

and that's it

[worldly carbon]

blacknight just stalls stuff, mitm can get a few block, bait attacks and...explode his summon

[ancient current]

would largely draft mitm over blacknight in most situations

[bright lake]

wild but to each their own

[worldly carbon]

-# ReChord do you even use Mitm

[ancient current]

yes, he's a good unit

what else do you want me to draft? chiave?

[worldly carbon]

you do that tho

[ancient current]

-# ok fair point

[faint lotus]

You should use granni

[bright lake]

when we have a 6* robot everybody will finally understand
"they used to laugh at me"

[ancient current]

anyways, this is derailing

[faint lotus]

Best dp producer

[ancient current]

moving on

[bright lake]

rechord which masteries did you put on chiave?

[pliant summit]

Thorn alter best skill?

[worldly carbon]

s2

[bright lake]

if you put masteries on him to begin w

[ancient current]

m6 because i don't half ass stuff

realistically? m0 (benched)

[bright lake]

oof

[faint lotus]

S2, but his s3 is very good debuffing is you know how it works

[rotund field]

well time to start working on my e1 stuff

[worldly carbon]

I'd s2m3 him cus atleast it can deal damage and be used with spinach, right?

[ancient current]

no reason to use chiave over an agent/matsu

[bright lake]

yeah i put masteries on s2. p good for extremely niche scenarios like passenger s3

against elites / bosses

[ancient current]

you'll call me insane but the spinach pasta tech is re-
(it isn't, just draft canta/surfer)

[bright lake]

does spinach even work with his s2 lmao, theres a slight charge animation before he goes off

[vital kelp]

spinach last 1 sec so yes

[worldly carbon]

yes, immediate damage so it should work
stuff like gracebearer s2 can be pretty cool with spinach
I guess spinach is mostly used for stuff like archetto with offensive recovery skills tho

[bright lake]

well yeah but does his charge up last 1s? going off rote memory atm

[ancient current]

yeah honeyberry s1 is also """immediate""" but spinach doesn't proc for that skill if the op is in the two farthest tiles of her range

[bright lake]

well anything with travel time is sus when it comes to spinach so

[ancient current]

it does work for him. I did test

[worldly carbon]

why would use honeyberry in IS tbh
is there a list of stuff that don't work with spinach like this actually?

[bright lake]

gotchya

[ancient current]

don't think there's a list but you know what I'll say next

[bright lake]

IS3, but moreso because Chestnuts exists is why you would spend the hope to recruit honeyb :b

[ancient current]

honeyberry is actually not that bad in is5 but mulberry is better most of the time imo
if you have spinach OR pasta though honeyberry becomes a better draft

[shadow bay]

u draft chestnut???

[ancient current]

my favourite Unwell revealer

[bright lake]

reading is hard

[bright lake]

hm rly? i've always preferred honeyb over mulberry, but i can see the arguement

[worldly carbon]

I guess this is because honeyberry heals more elemental damage and mulberry actually heals more HP
so in general honeyberry for actual elemental healer purposes but mulberry in general cus elemental healers (other than eyjaberry) have a suboptimal heal otherwise so she just has the better normal heal

[bright lake]

i'd sooner get burst heals over stronger ele heals anyways, though idk how well that statement stands in the higher diff

[ancient current]

honey is cool but most of the time medic vouchers are kinda iffy to get, so I end up with not a lot of healing in a bunch of runs. in this case mulberry is better because yes, she'll be less effective at keeping your ops out of necrosis if there are multiple (if 1 target though she works perfectly fine), but she has more healing output. honeyberry has like 0 outside of elemental healing

I generally like more raw healing over pure elemental healing, since the former ends up being more problematic in the end. I've tried drafting both and figured mul works better most of the time. then again I play 5* only so may be biased

[worldly carbon]

people will hunt you down if you say honeyberry is ever worth something I feel like cus eyjaberry exists and "all others are worthless", isn't that right?

[ancient current]

this is kinda niche territory so

[faint lotus]

Honeyberry is worth a lot because she’s free and so everyone can get her

[worldly carbon]

everyone will say "just borrow eyja"

[ancient current]

ye not many people actually have mul compared to honey

(i have both max pot so i default to mul in is5)

that being said outside of is5 honey is better imo

[faint lotus]

And harold isn’t in record restoration yet

[ancient current]

mul is kinda just awkward to use

and harold doesn't exist until further notice

[vital kelp]

theres kinda no reason to use them over normal medic

[wanton meadow]

Chestnut gamer rise up

[ancient current]

if chestnut didn't cost 0 hope I'd be open to suggest Lancet-2 over him

genuinely ass unit

[wanton meadow]

Hey he works when you actually need elemental healing

Sure he legitimately doesn't heal jack but if you just need elemental damage gone, he does the job

[bright lake]

what are yalls thoughts on beanstalk vg start in IS?

[ancient current]

more or less

[ancient current]

which IS

[worldly carbon]

pretty good

[bright lake]

amongst a 6* carry ofc

[bright lake]

jsut generally speaking

[vital kelp]

isnt that kinda the usual draft for 4 star vanguard voucher

[ancient current]

well this means you'd be picking the spec/vg/sniper start, in which case yeah sure whatever she'll work there

[bright lake]

all the IS that give 4* for 0 hope

[bright lake]

is it? ig thats kinda what im asking tbh

[worldly carbon]

pretty much tbh, tacticians are kinda goated so free tactician is kinda good

[ancient current]

beanstalk's nice because she can block while not being weak as fuck like the other 4* frauds

[vital kelp]

block 3 or even 4 in good maps too

[bright lake]

would yall e2 beanstalk during your run given the chance? ig it would depend on whether or not you draft a flag / agent before then

[dense walrus]

i just asked chatgpt what the top 10 dps in Arknights are and it said 1. wis 2. exu2 3. logos 4. wang 5. tragodia 6. lappland alter, 7. mlynar, 8. Sakiko. 9. ulpanus 10 silverash2, how inaccurate is this

[ancient current]

not really no

can't remember a concrete usecase for e2

[pale tapir]

my main issue with beanstalk is that she has to sit on a ranged tile
otherwise good

[vital kelp]

rechord can we ask this guy to get out

[bright lake]

gotchya

[faint lotus]

Wang in 5th…

[bright lake]

damn, i have the sudden insurmountable urge to reorder this

[ancient current]

first advice is to not rely on LLMs for arknights advice
it's been tested and they're all shit at it
so don't bother about its recommendations

[worldly carbon]

if you're using a vanguard to DPS you're already wrong
also stop using chatgpt

[dense walrus]

It's accurate like sometimes

[ancient current]

top 1 is already wrong so like

[bright lake]

1. Trag
2. Wang
3. Exia2
   3.5 Wis
4. Saki
5. SA2
6. Lappy
7. Logos
8. Ulpy

[wanton meadow]

And there are supports in the list of dps

[worldly carbon]

-# I haven't even seen ChatGPT do math properly before I taught it so like please stop

[ancient current]

please stop you're making it worse

[dense walrus]

so the next paid 6 star selector will be back next april again?

[shadow bay]

[bright lake]

LMAO ulpy only if gladiia* but how is that wrong? im curious

[ancient current]

next one's on kalter, so in 6 months

[shadow bay]

whatever date kalter/closure banner lands on

[vital kelp]

-# it says dps and trag dps isnt notable, and wis is lower dps

[ancient current]

trag isn't a dps unit

[dense walrus]

i thought next april was in 6 months

[bright lake]

oh dps LMAO i was never tauight to read

[ancient current]

no that's a bit less than a year

[worldly carbon]

gladiia is just heal
which you usually just bring a medic instead
tragodia isn't DPS and I think if you're using sa2 to DPS you prob need to change your squad

[dense walrus]

between logos and mlynar which one would you pick for aoe def shred dps?

[bright lake]

?? how is gladiia comparable to a medic lmao

[ancient current]

logos isn't aoe so quick pick

[dense walrus]

but his s3 has a big range

[ancient current]

that's not what aoe means

[worldly carbon]

people bring her to just heal Ulpianus and reduce damage taken
she doesn't really do much that others can't do tbh, she's a puller

[bright lake]

i didnt see he said DPS lol, assumed just strongest general ops from the lsit given

[severe crypt]

Multi target isn’t aoe

[faint lotus]

I’d take mantra over logos anyday

[dense walrus]

so does that mean tragodia s3 is not aoe?

[ancient current]

aoe means hitting multiple enemies at the same time within an area, like splash casters i.e. Lava
that's different from multitarget

[pale tapir]

eyjaberry lapptop susie and ambriel have global range on skill that doesn't make them aoe

[slim tusk]

semantics anyhow logos is worse than the liberator duo anyhow

[dense walrus]

But overall the best pick is mlynar in the entire 6 selector correct?

[faint lotus]

Mantra also just does more damage in almost all scenarios

[slim tusk]

holy mantra glaze

[ancient current]

pretty much yes, unless your roster has some severe lack in something else and you have like leizi2/silverash already or something

[slim tusk]

that chick doesn't even walk without trag

[dense walrus]

what the hell does mantra do, aint no way that op is good?

i thought the guy who builds 1x place anywhere range tile was good, is that not mantra

[slim tusk]

that's nasti and she is niche

[wraith sentinel]

Mantra's decent, has a fun S3 with Paralysis chaining.

[bright lake]

curiousity, but for dps, between exia2, wang, saki, wis who would be 1st - 4th?

[worldly carbon]

prob wang?

[ancient current]

forgot if exu2 has more dmg output than wang

[worldly carbon]

yes, pretty sure exu2 has the biggest total damage in the game yet

[ancient current]

well she has 10k dps but not sure about total damage output

[bright lake]

? im assuming we're comparing against 0 def 0 res?

[dense walrus]

will wang be helpful in is6 if i just wanna quickly level the "battle pass" to max?

[wide knot]

Battle pass?

[shadow bay]

dumb dpses will be greatful yeh sure...

esp if ur just staying at lower diffs

[wide knot]

Didn't know this game had a battle pass

[pale tapir]

every IS has one

[bright lake]

not a battlepass, more like a reward track

[ancient current]

a free one, not really a battlepass, it just has its mechanics
just a level up system with milestone rewards in each IS

[shadow bay]

not exactly battlepass, just termed coz it looks like one... for convenience

[vital kelp]

who do i pair with weedy purestream in base

[wide knot]

Oh shoot thanks for reminding me I a ty havent claimed the rewards yet

[ancient current]

does the riic combo sheet not say that

[dense walrus]

wait how come raidian is only good for is6, why didn't is1 to 5 add a special operator that works in Is?

[ancient current]

they did

well, is1 is gone anyways

[vital kelp]

they did, but they all bad

[wraith sentinel]

Technically they did, just not that great ones.

[dense walrus]

i saw they added a new one for the horror IS

[wraith sentinel]

All the (previous?) IS welfares have a Talent that only activates in their relevant IS theme.

[dense walrus]

when will that be out on CN?

[ancient current]

shalem sucks, highmore is mid, valarqvin is fine but forgettable, tinman is fine and peak outside of IS

[faint lotus]

Shalem, tinman and valarqvin are all pretty good for 5*s

[shadow bay]

no announcement yet, preview only released atm

[ancient current]

but talking from a more niche perspective, shalem and highmore are good

[dense walrus]

MID

[ancient current]

(just not for your average roster)

[shadow bay]

highmore can be used sure...

[bright lake]

yeah sure lol

[dense walrus]

do all the IS have a unique shop, candle and whatever mechanic like in IS6? i can't seem to select a different IS since i picked and haven't even finished 6

[vital kelp]

guys im confused

this should be 40 from purestream, 45 from weedy, 3 from cc, and 20 from naran

But naran isnt adding?

[wraith sentinel]

Pretty much. You should be able to select other IS themes, just can't start a run if you're already in one.

[vital kelp]

each level of dorm is +1, why didnt it add

[shadow bay]

2 - boring
3 - dice and keys and cancer
4 - foldaltars and index (can make u blind)
5 - thoughts u can combine (and u just rely to lamp/flinger)
6 - bosky = conciousness, where u need candle to enter

[worldly carbon]

in what situation is shalem ever good wtf?

[dense walrus]

so which one is the most easiest

[ancient current]

shalem has more dps than surtr in is2 btw

[dense walrus]

and do all of them have a reward track like is6? because if not why the hell would you play it

[shadow bay]

is5 should be the breezable one due to lamp

[faint lotus]

His module did so much for him

[worldly carbon]

he also dies much more quickly...

[vital kelp]

help

[wraith sentinel]

Yes. Some people have fun doing roguelikes.

[shadow bay]

fun

imagine the superiority doing max diff and crossing 2-3 endings

[wraith sentinel]

There are even competitions revolving around IS.

[dense walrus]

sounds like a chore. either gimme something to level up or gimme orundum

[pale tapir]

you can spend to level up the pass if you're a whale
not recommended

[wraith sentinel]

Then don't do it if you it doesn't interest you.

There are no pulls there.

[ancient current]

well, for 5*knights, you mostly use s1 and it's a good skill. he can clear stuff he blocks pretty easily and doesn't die this easily either since +50% max hp
this can also have relevance in is6 ed1 (haven't tried yet but +%hp might enable him to stall yi)
s2 has really really good dps, and has the benefit of hitting air too. problem is charging it

for 5* standards decent unit

[vital kelp]

help me chat-sama

[faint lotus]

How do you make discord stop doing italics

[wraith sentinel]

Backslash \.

[worldly carbon]

I see, thank you all-5*-knower
I shall put shalem on the bench

[ancient current]

put a \ right before the *

[vital kelp]

*what the*

[wraith sentinel]

It prevents all other formatting too. Can even do stuff like *sigh*.

[pliant summit]

Suzuran best skill?

[ancient current]

s3

[vital kelp]

farmable material in thornalt rerun?

[ancient current]

she basically only uses that
s2 is only used for afk slop players and kyostinv watchers
s1 doesn't exist

[ancient current]

/cnfarm should tell you this no

[bright lake]

lmk ur findings grub lol

[dense walrus]

this year we get act or die. exu2 reruns? i can't wait to see the stages

[ancient current]

limited units don't rerun

the events do though

[vital kelp]

looks like a no... farm some sugar and be chill with 1-7 ig

[dense walrus]

well yes i meant stages

[bright lake]

do we know the next event?

[ancient current]

yeah events rerun 1 year after their original run

too bad I can't remember when exu2 came out

[vital kelp]

earlier last year

[ancient current]

not until it's announced in #game-news as usual

[faint lotus]

6 months ago

[pale tapir]

it was like last nov or so
yea mid oct to early nov

[ancient current]

i see, good to know

[bright lake]

wait thorns alt is mini event?

[ancient current]

no that's a standard event not a vignette

[vital kelp]

nothing to farm for me there, get the pots and dip

i have 200 aketon 250 grindstone and 135 sugar and 400+ of the infinite mats

[bright lake]

hey do you by chance have 200 aketon 250 grindstone and 135 sugar and 400+ of the infinite mats i can have?

[vital kelp]

when should be the next iron farm?

[faint lotus]

Nasti event

[vital kelp]

thanks

[worldly carbon]

is "iron" alloy? lol

[severe crypt]

No iron would be the pure element Fe

[glass mural]

Icic.

[shadow bay]

but thats ferrium....not iron

[glass mural]

Icic, you all mean, Ferrum.

[slate rapids]

About to start IS, is it better to start with IS2 or IS6? Not really sure if there are any timed activities with the current one so thought I'd ask first

[south harbor]

How I beat this bird

[wanton meadow]

If all you care is to speed farm the battlepass levels, IS5. Otherwise, try all of them to see which one you like the most and go wild

[shadow bay]

u can start is2 as it have the basic layout of all IS

theres is5 if u want something u can breeze to get resources asap

but ur free to start whatever is u want... just learn the different gimmicks per is and ull be good

[odd sky]

burst him quickly, or do it slowly

[shadow bay]

birb should be easy to kill no??? just watch out with ur hp

[slate rapids]

Awesome, thanks for the info! Glad to know I won't have to worry about any kind of timed events

[slate rapids]

IS5 is Furnaceside Fables correct? Just wanted to make sure cause the numbering is a bit confusing lmfao

[ebon plaza]

your approach would depend on what units you have

[bright lake]

if i pop exia s2, does this relic take effect immediately all throughout her skill? or does it only take effect when skill ends?

[shadow bay]

yep

is2 is the phantom one... and it was ordered 2, 3 .. up to 6 (the grotesque something something)

[wanton meadow]

It says 15s there

[slate rapids]

Got it, thanks!

[wanton meadow]

You click skill, 15s attack speed buff

[shadow bay]

i mean definition of use is pressing the skill no?

[bright lake]

oooookay, if ur wrong.... lol

[shadow bay]

then im wrong ig... simple as that

[bright lake]

definitive answer pls lmao, if possible

[south harbor]

How then

[wanton meadow]

You click skill, 15s attack speed buff

[wraith sentinel]

Wouldn't make sense to be something else, ammo Skills are by definition not power strikes or similar.

[shadow bay]

answer not definite apparently enuf... die

[bright lake]

then die

[shadow bay]

knowing hg though they would specify if it will have specific scenario like after skill end

[bright lake]

was hoping it works the other way, in which case lemon would have been amazing draft sadge, but yea

[odd sky]

you dmg him, until he does the DoT, then wait for it to die down, dmg him again wait again,
or you burst it so fast the dot stacking doesn't matter

[shadow bay]

or u can burst him while sustaining all the dots it will apply

modern healers should sustain the dots no?

[odd sky]

haruka angle

[junior hull]

Does hoshi alter immortality work on the is6 scroll of scars boss? Like, she won't get retreated if she gets squashed??

[odd sky]

squashed is force retreat

[ebon plaza]

iirc it's not a chunk of damage but rather a forced retreat, different territory

[pale tapir]

the 50% hp effect also force retreats

[hidden nacelle]

why do some ops spawn with the tag on them in IS6

[coarse notch]

its an hour of sui

[shadow bay]

inb4 whats an hour of sui

[hidden nacelle]

i swear this hour of sui actually lasts for a whole hour
its not leaving smh 🙄

[silver smelt]

yes it stays
atleast until dlc2

[hidden nacelle]

grrr

can i wait an hour :clueless

[vital kelp]

does thornalt take 15 second to build up and only have 8 second of maximum debuff

that feels so ass for a 60 sp skill that last 23 seconds

[silver smelt]

you can eat it
In dlc2

[hidden nacelle]

poggies

[neat mirage]

what ops are minoan in cn?
like does perfumer count

[tawny turret]

guys, how many months until ascalon arrives in yellow cert shop?

[jade herald]

likely around late september

[faint lotus]

Perfumer does count as minos

[neat mirage]

real

[rocky pilot]

Take this and speculate it yourself

[wraith sentinel]

Is there a reason why Fatty can't be marked as Wanted by Lemuen?

[silver smelt]

he should be able to be

[wraith sentinel]

Currently doing IS3 and twice now he hasn't been marked despite being in range for quite some time.

[slate ridge]

No mark or no charge ?
Since highly likely Lemuen wont charge on Fatty

Or ig thats a S2 thing hm

[slim tusk]

sometimes fatty is not an elite in some stage
haven't played is 3 for ages tho

[wraith sentinel]

Both.

[wraith sentinel]

Huh. Weird since it is marked as an elite in the enemy overview but I guess that could explain it.

[stray grotto]

can characters even come to the yellow cert shop?

[bright lake]

is it legend or retrieve node that give you the chance to max all your LP?

[wraith sentinel]

No, just a normal Combat node, happened twice.

[pine plover]

according to PRTS wiki, fatty is fake elite

[wraith sentinel]

Damn, that's annoying.

[ebon plaza]

non limiteds can come to the shop, although it takes like a year+

[pine plover]

fatty is the only one from duck lord gang who is fake elite

[pseudo lotus]

Indra or Vulcan or does it matter

[wraith sentinel]

Around two years I think, but yeah.

[slate ridge]

Ye its not stated as elite in that stage

[ebon plaza]

for what

[wraith sentinel]

You'll get another voucher with both as an option so it doesn't matter too much.

[pine plover]

they are more like trophy operator who do jackshit in combat

[pseudo lotus]

There’s a voucher for a medal reward

[pine plover]

there are 2 voucher for indra and vulcan, both from medals

[ebon plaza]

ah right that, but iirc vulcan has at least something to do in base, albeit e2 is needed

[rocky pilot]

She still works even without e2 no?
3 less capacity limit and a bit less morale

[slim tusk]

she is meant to work with bubble and bubble want 16+ capacity

[ebon plaza]

i'm highkey parroting off the camelot so idrk

[slim tusk]

non e2 vulcan is badge

[worldly hornet]

Hay mates question so I pulled 36 pulls on the orienteering banner so If I pull on the standard I'll still have my pity I assume that's the case

[pale tapir]

assuming you didn't get a 6* in those 36 pulls yes
but I highly recommend you do not pull on any standard until wang/ch3n limited

[ebon plaza]

they share the same pity yes, but also pulling on standard is not recommended

[rocky pilot]

Oh right
My half asleep dumbass forgot is bubble and not vermeil

My bad

[pale tapir]

oh yea are there any notable upcoming 4* ops

[pine plover]

are there any upcoming 4star

[pale tapir]

u tell me I'm not chinese enough to know

[pine plover]

they reduced the release of 4star significantly to main story release and red voucher shop update only

[slate sigil]

is that still expensive to m3 some 4* or 5* even i'm buying each pack in store?

beside building 6*

[ebon plaza]

i don't remember exactly what resources you can get directly from packs, but if you're down to convert OP into sanity then go ahead, although expensive is a relative term

[pine plover]

they butchered it even more and now the newest chapter release (ch. 17) doesnt even have new 4star operator

[slate sigil]

is that worth to m3 them? for example ethan, cuora, jaye or someone like them

[pale tapir]

btw what does wasting op on sanity have to do with this

[pine plover]

op to sanity conversion is used to calculate paid pack worth

[worldly hornet]

I know I know but in all honesty I just like gambling and I will save
Just need to get the first 6*

[wraith sentinel]

Ethan S2 yes, for Cuora kinda overkill usually, Jaye is a bit more niche.

[pine plover]

how many per $ you get from it

[worldly hornet]

Oh also thanks mate appreciated

[ebon plaza]

cause i've never actually looked at packs so i just assumed most of them give OP and such

[pine plover]

[pale tapir]

packs can give anything from hh tickets to op to e2 tickets to lmd to mod blocks

[pine plover]

to bean pic

[ebon plaza]

if you like them go ahead, 4*s are strong in IS but idrk ab the masteries, except maybe the utility ones like ethan, iirc he can get up to like 80% bind chance? or smth like that

[rocky pilot]

Best 5 bucks I spent for beans

[slate sigil]

any labels about that? anyway i'm not choosing only most profitable but just in case to know

[pine plover]

usually in #event-info

[slate sigil]

oh wow didn't see there's some useful information

[south harbor]

I can’t face bird his gang kill my operators but that fucking bird that I hate and I must make operators level up

[ebon plaza]

send your units to #strategy let's see this

[south harbor]

https://www.krooster.com/u/frankk suggestions who to upgrade next?(aside from sash2) tia

[paper vessel]

I cleared the shop, got like 150 RMA, do I stop now?

[wintry steppe]

What's RMA

[odd sky]

mlynar mod3
mizuki s2m3 mod alpha 3 if you play IS
haruka mod1
hoshi2 mod2 at least

[gray ether]

i accidentally set a random birthday on my account, is there a way to change it

[sharp crest]

Is she stronger than silverash?

[odd sky]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/RMA70-12

[wide knot]

Are you anew or mid player?

[sharp crest]

Quite new, at chapter 5 rn

[buoyant sigil]

I’d say they’ve got quite a bit tho

[wide knot]

Can I see your team I am curious

[odd sky]

yes but don't pull

[buoyant sigil]

Uh, leizi is good, but definitely not worth to use on this

[ebon plaza]

yes but someone even stronger is coming so you should save

[coarse notch]

never pull on that banner type

[sharp crest]

Feels my team is lacking

[near temple]

is blaze alter good?

[coarse notch]

no, shes perfectly mediocre

[formal shadow]

that would clear ch5

[coarse notch]

your team is just fine
even if your team was catastrophic you still wouldnt pull on that banner

[sharp crest]

Wang right?

[coarse notch]

new players nowadays dont realize how good they have it smh

[wide knot]

I thought you were joking when you said you were new because you have 512 recruitment vouchers

[odd sky]

tequila skill 2 @sharp crest
surtr e2
silverash mod3
amiya skill 1
don't build savage anymore

[coarse notch]

they also somehow have 190k+ orundum so no

[sharp crest]

I play since 2024 or something

[wide knot]

How do you only have a few 6 stars?

[brittle dirge]

How did you have 180k orundums with those teams?

[coarse notch]

dont think too hard about it

[sharp crest]

Alright, but amiya skill 2 actually helped me few times

[coarse notch]

amiya s2 is straight ass

[broken flame]

i'd lowkey just pull until first 6* on this orienteering 😭 then save everything for Wang

[brittle dirge]

Orienteering banner is gone

[coarse notch]

damn unlucky

[broken flame]

wtf didn't even realize

[coarse notch]

think we told them to pull the orienteering a while back anyways so it doesnt matter

[broken flame]

rip then

[sharp crest]

Knowing my luck, I would end up spend 150 pulls so I'm glad skipped it

[near temple]

guys i have mlynar and sakiki with module + mastery for their main skills ,also pramanix alter too. Should i upgrade logos too or lumen and Saria ?

[blazing oyster]

is it a good idea to use closure s1 for the Londinium artillery strikes in CH10? Im having several problems with them as a new player

[coarse notch]

thats physically impossible btw

[odd sky]

logos yea lumen no saria maybe just e1

[coarse notch]

<@&586570970345635868>

[sharp crest]

Someone got hacked

[near temple]

ok

[coarse notch]

always the same damn message too, so boring

[sharp crest]

Because it's bot

My friend got hacked too because he pirate a game

[coarse notch]

no shit, im saying at least have a change of threat actor

[sharp crest]

It works so no reason to change it ig

[sharp crest]

I feel hurt everytime someone told me to not build savage

[coarse notch]

its the correct choice but you're free to ignore it

[odd sky]

it's just advice up to you if you wanna follow it

[sharp crest]

Waifu >>> meta sometimes allowed

[coarse notch]

not the purpose of this channel

[floral swift]

does ulpianus need gladiia or is he enough to do his stuff with module

[odd sky]

alone enough

[coarse notch]

absolutely doesnt need gladiia

[ebon plaza]

waifu > meta is always allowed cause the game isn't that difficult, but we will advise meta in the help channel

[coarse notch]

we'll always give the meta answer here, its up to you to decide how that fits into your gameplay

[urban sleet]

You use gravel/a bait defender, stack up block count away from your main units and let the cannon kill your enemies

[wintry steppe]

Bro's material is all invented toward silverash

[floral swift]

noir corne is a pretty decent bait defender he's pretty cheap

[sharp crest]

She only meta in e2?

[coarse notch]

no, e1 is enough

[odd sky]

e1 is fine, use skill 2

[near temple]

what banner is coming next ?

[urban sleet]

You can leave her e1 max

[floral swift]

she's a fine mt medic even at e1

[sharp crest]

Because I don't have anyone else?

[rocky pilot]

E1 is enough

[urban sleet]

And skill lvl 7

[blazing oyster]

gravel only works when there aren't any >1 blocks ops present on field right?

[wintry steppe]

I can't deny about that one

[floral swift]

she works if theres those tanky slimes u can make her block to increase her block count

[blazing oyster]

oh thanks

[sharp crest]

So surtr is the one I should e2 next, right?

[trim schooner]

i have a transfer permit for lappland ptilo specter and cliffheart. should i get p2 ptilo p1 lapp or unlock specter or cliffheart

[coarse notch]

pins -> roadless camelot -> beginner guide
get specter

[broken flame]

don't go for pots

[coarse notch]

pots are completely worthless in this game so dont bother
also fyi operators start as p1, p1 = no dupes at all, p0 would be not owning the op at all

[sharp crest]

Dupes here are so bad there's no change in gameplay

[vestal tartan]

is all that's left to buy just skill summaries

[trim schooner]

ahhh okay okay

[vestal tartan]

i mean they're not completely worthless but for normal gameplay they basically do nothing yeah

[coarse notch]

yea im gonna assume the guy asking isnt running yato sescort or some shit

[vestal tartan]

the extra stuff you get from pots feels more like a consolation prize lol

[slate sigil]

sussuro e2 passive gives increases healing effects by 20% on all Operators with DP Cost no more than 10, that works if sash2 will swap dp between high cost and low cost dp operator?

[native cargo]

is hoshi alt more tankier thn ulpianus

[odd sky]

hoshi has immortality so

[ebon plaza]

would depend on how you test that

[frail aurora]

Oh wise ones is Crownslayer worth maxing

[vestal tartan]

define tankier

Is Crownslayer worth building?
Short answer : No
Long Answer :

Crownslayer is a Staller operator that can stun lock 2 enemies for 18 seconds or 3 enemies for 12 seconds straight for each deployment, so this gives her a niche uses for high end content where you need to stall

Issue? She's not newbie friendly, she NEEDS high investment to be remotely good. She needs both Mastery 3 and Max Module Y to stun lock enemies
Another problem is that for vast majority of the player, you will be better off using that resource for a DPS than simply stalling them
Another problem is that if there are more than 3 enemies in her range, it completely destroys her stun locking so it's only really good for stun locking Elites or Boss, but they also tend to be stun immune

If you think this is worth the resources, then go for it. She's S3M3 and Mod Y lvl3
But for newbies she is not worth it for the resources she eats

[severe crypt]

[vestal tartan]

depends on the way they take damage

hoshi doesn't have much self heal
ulpi requires his harem for max brick

[native cargo]

is uplianus + gladia not enough for ulpianus to have good heal

[lyric lagoon]

hoshi is very tanky against arts damage enemies, ulpi can deal with small mobs or dot based enemies but can’t do shit against high atk enemies

[vestal tartan]

it's alright yeah

og hoshi still best brick tho

[coarse notch]

adding in a gladiia is not ulpi having self heal
thats like slapping on a medic and saying they heal themselves

[lyric lagoon]

also hoshi has self heal on s2

[vestal tartan]

^

[shadow bay]

very enuf

[trim schooner]

wait sorta off topic what do ppl use to run arknights on pc?

[coarse notch]

ldplayer and mumu are the best, gpg exists too

[odd sky]

ldplayer mumu

[shadow bay]

mumu and ld floats among the emulators

[lyric lagoon]

ldplayer or mumuplayer

do NOT use bluestacks btw, that shit sucks ass

[vestal tartan]

it's not great unless it's just fodder eneny

[trim schooner]

google play 🥹

[coarse notch]

its good enough to facetank yi on d15 so its good enough id say

[lyric lagoon]

bro is living up to the name of misinfo spreader

[native cargo]

best hps healer rn haruka no?

[odd sky]

nope need to tank bestial ju

[vestal tartan]

is really shouldn't count should it

[coarse notch]

why not, its a test of how good the healing so, why would where it takes place matter

[vestal tartan]

idk

[lyric lagoon]

ah yes, lets not count a scenario where 99% of the roster gets obliterated in

[neat acorn]

How long does it take till she starts healing

[odd sky]

who haruka?

[lyric lagoon]

6 hits if m2

[neat acorn]

I see

[lyric lagoon]

oh wait haruka not hoshi

[rocky pilot]

Nian

[vestal tartan]

i feel tanking yii is more thanks to her arts def

[lyric lagoon]

first heal is 17 seconds if m3, for inf duration you have to wait a minute total for haruka

[coarse notch]

the healing is still a massive part of it
her healing is fine regardless of the enemy type

[vestal tartan]

i spose

[lyric lagoon]

she gets screwed if arts dodge or high res enemy though

not like ulpi would do any better solo anyways

[glacial bolt]

guys help me 15-15

[sharp crest]

[neat acorn]

How are poeple nuking bosses with ulpi s3 and sash2 s2

[broken flame]

fat atk, fat schwing

[odd sky]

tight timing

[ebon plaza]

something something ulpi s3 before the sash swings come out

[rocky pilot]

Pretty sure you activate ulpi s3 as soon as you see his mod effect text thing popping up

[sharp crest]

Uhh she good at level 1 right?

[ebon plaza]

level 30 costs like 29k so i'd stop there, although if you want her module you gotta go 60

[neat acorn]

After nuking the boss with ulpi do you just retreat him or keep him on field

[slate sigil]

H stages includes?

[odd sky]

idk up to you

[neat acorn]

Maybe the sash2 s2 propaganda did pay off

[thin scaffold]

What is this bos,this lineup still lose

[obtuse obsidian]

Sash s2 propganda without chilling cs s1 is not real propaganda

[vital kelp]

No precision

[obtuse obsidian]

Dont this boss have giant dr if no elem damage

[thin scaffold]

I have no idea

[pseudo flume]

Can only be accessed on Environment 3

[obtuse obsidian]

999 stacks 3 laterano also sound ass ngl

Like where attack buffs

[thin scaffold]

Thats true

[odd sky]

only lin has atk ig

[native cargo]

is surfer worth e2

[pseudo flume]

Sure if you don't got Ines or SA2

[odd sky]

low prio tho

[slate sigil]

just unlocked that

[pseudo flume]

If you already built Cantabile then its not necessary

[karmic flax]

How can I activate 2x mode immediately upon starting the stage?

[pseudo flume]

Settings to make it perma remember your previous state

[balmy panther]

oh yes
my favourite boss

gun

with the infinite Damage Reduction shield which needs elemental injury

[pseudo flume]

This option specifically

[pale tapir]

pretty sure that doesn't do that

I have that enabled and every stage starts at 1x speed

when you disable it doing anything (tapping on operator, deploying operator) returns 2x to 1x
enabling it just stops the 2x -> 1x switch when interacting with stuff

[pseudo flume]

It does do that, if you ended the stage on 2x it will start the next stage at 2x

[pale tapir]

idk it has never worked for me in 6 years then
I end most stages on 2x and it always starts at 1x

[pseudo flume]

[pseudo flume]

I probably am mistaken tbh

[obtuse obsidian]

Tbh my finger always click to switch to x2 without realizing it

Even when i try to play on x1

[pseudo flume]

I've been playing for so long it feels like instinctive actions that I don't notice

[broken flame]

when it stops working i just off/on the setting again iirc

[pseudo flume]

Me and useless is on the same situation

[hexed adder]

activating it will only mantain 2x speed when u press operator or touching stuff. Turning it off will make any of those action resulting u back to 1x speed

[obtuse obsidian]

I have no idea about setting tbh i dont interact with that

[odd sky]

[abstract blade]

hey guys. I heard you can get a lot of chips early on from IS. how do I do that

has to do with monthly squads I think

[limpid yarrow]

only line is doing damage and no one else

if you have money switch to yan + kjerag and use degen + qiubai for damage

[pseudo flume]

It is about the monthly squads ya

[pseudo flume]

Just go play em and complete the tasks then just leave

[abstract blade]

that gives normal chips correct? not dualchips or packs?

[hexed adder]

5 IS thats quite a lot yea

[pseudo flume]

Gives T2 Chips

[abstract blade]

oh. then whats the best way to get e1 operators early on? resource missions?

[pseudo flume]

Supply Stages

[wintry steppe]

E1 well, just go to supply stages

[hexed adder]

Yea, the reason all supply stages open for newb

[abstract blade]

got it. who should I e1 first?
https://www.krooster.com/u/cool-ochre-yato-382j

[hexed adder]

there is also that thing in RA shop

[wintry steppe]

Ethan and ulpi I'd say

[pseudo flume]

Kroos or Ulpianus

Kroos for the drone barrage early on and Ulpianus for a serious raise

[broken flame]

Kroos first cause cheap, and for your drone problems early on

[wintry steppe]

Common W kroos

[glacial bolt]

how to speedrun to endgame

[abstract blade]

seriously why does kroos have such a stranglehold on the sniper class?

[slim tusk]

cheap,accessible,works

[hexed adder]

Oh this is 2-7 dude just remembered

[wintry steppe]

Cheap aerial killer with nice dps

[abstract blade]

ulpi wants more sugar. I shouldnt use workshop for that right?

[pseudo flume]

Not the entire sniper class but more on the Marksman Archetype

Kroos is basically unmatched in E1 tbh

[broken flame]

Also based on what you have, if you need healers focus on Silence and Sussurro

[wintry steppe]

Up to you, the more you progress the more material you get to build more ops

[broken flame]

Sussy first cause cheap and her S2 is one of the best burst heals

[hexed adder]

Dont forget Base workers

[pseudo flume]

Raise Steward too for Arts dps

[wanton meadow]

They removed e2 3* to nerf godkroos

[abstract blade]

he's better than amiya?

[pseudo flume]

Amiya is iffy 🚬

[wintry steppe]

When the main character isn't good 😭😢😵

[pale tapir]

I'd still say amiya better but the value proposition for her is bad

[pseudo flume]

I specifically dislike her 2nd Skill

[slim tusk]

steward base slave,better talent and only slightly less dps on similar investment

[hexed adder]

25% fac better yes, amiya fine at e0

[broken flame]

Steward has a talent that focuses on high def enemies as well

[wanton meadow]

Importantly, steward has offensive recovery so he scales hard with attack speed

[robust thistle]

Amiya with 2sp per attack talent

[wanton meadow]

Wait a sec, why are we talking about amiya and steward, but not click? I think click is kinda the ideal newbie caster investment

[pale tapir]

click isn't practically guaranteed for newbies

[abstract blade]

I dont have them

[pseudo flume]

Where is click from their Krooster

[slim tusk]

literally talentless pre e2

[pseudo flume]

Im only talking about what they currently have

[wanton meadow]

Ic ic

[abstract blade]

why does the resource doc say to farm 2-5 for sugar? it drops oirock doesnt it?

[hexed adder]

even if click there, steward still base worker

[pseudo flume]

If they didn't have Ulpianus or Zuo Le, I'd recommended them Gracebearer Raise

[broken flame]

This roster needs not be afraid of the Londinium Cannon

[abstract blade]

should I raise srufer?

[pseudo flume]

2-5 not S2-5

2-5 drops the Sugar, S2-5 drops T1 Orirock

[abstract blade]

will that be a problem anytime soon

[broken flame]

Chapter 10

[pseudo flume]

That's still a long time smh

[wanton meadow]

Tbf with tequila every roster should have someone that can bait and tank the cannon

Never forget tequila is block 3

[broken flame]

they have Ulpi so

[pale tapir]

by the time they reach ch10 they'll have someone good enough anyway

[pseudo flume]

Ulpianus

[broken flame]

that's why i said need not be afraid

[pseudo flume]

They just need him at E2 and its golden

[wanton meadow]

I know, just saying everyone would have an option to bait it even without ulpi

[pseudo flume]

Just bring the lower rarity defenders tbh

[broken flame]

Noir Corne my goat

[pseudo flume]

I used Gummy as Sacrifice to the Cannon

[hexed adder]

Skill issue fr

[wanton meadow]

Nooo leave noir corne alone

[shut flame]

was cn pc launcher released on wang banner?

[proven kelp]

Right
Using the 0 Block operator for 90% of the match to bait the Cannon

and not you know, Noir

Not to mention you're throwing away your DPS

[hexed adder]

The solution shrimple all along

[wanton meadow]

Throwing away is an exaggeration, he tanks the cannon

Benefit of near 4k hp

[hexed adder]

En hand

[abstract blade]

whats the most efficent way to get t1 and t2 upgrade materials?

[sacred pecan]

How does Zima alters skill 3 interact with attack speed buffs? Since from what I've seen there's still an orange bar when she activates her skill which makes me think it's time based but the text description for skill 3 says it attacks only 5 times.

[proven kelp]

No? You're still throwing it because if you're baiting Cannon, you will dump the thing away from the rest of the Team, so most likely than not, the Bait won't contribute to the Combat since they will be outside of the group too much

[hexed adder]

He will say borrow bet

[wanton meadow]

Good point

[frank wing]

I would think that it isn't affected, I'm not sure though

[proven kelp]

Using Tequila to bait cannon is basically throwing away a newbie's best DPS since he won't do jack for the rest of the match

[sacred pecan]

So they just set skill 3 at a fixed attack rate then?

[hexed adder]

Yea fixed interval

[frank wing]

I just realized that her s2 would charge so fast with IS attack speed stuff

[broken flame]

Bless it for being auto activated

#afkslop

[shut flame]

WHAT

[broken flame]

in- what

[exotic pelican]

*investing

[pale tapir]

because it costs a lot for a small niche

[shut flame]

permanently in your record now

[proven kelp]

Why not

[pale tapir]

if you actually need someone who can permastun up to 3 targets for a certain duration then by all means go ahead
but most people don't

[exotic pelican]

is it generally more effective to murder enemies rather than stun them?

[broken flame]

If you have the mats to spare and you actually have plans of utilizing her or like her, by all means go ahead. It's just the general recommendation is to not invest, and focus on other priorities. At the end of the day, if you feel like you can make use of her then it's fine.

[frank wing]

it can be good for cc from what ive heard

and fun entelechia s2 shenanigans

[exotic pelican]

thank you for the info! helpful for making an informed decision on whether to spend more resources on CS

[exotic pelican]

wait does entelechia s2 still work even when CS is unhittable?

[broken flame]

It stays on her initial position afaik

[gritty peak]

how to unlock 3rd slot? for mission?

[frank wing]

yeah, it works on basically anything, even pramanix's frozen blue box works

[shut flame]

cs is only good in extremely niche endgame meta tht 99% of players wont play

[pale tapir]

don't do it
don't permanently damage your base

[thorny edge]

you gotta upgrade reception room, but you dont have to do it cuz the mission rewards are kinda shit

[solemn elk]

is there any way to get more sanity if i ran out of these sanity packets?

[pale tapir]

wait

[shut flame]

wait faster

[frank wing]

you can use primes or wait

[exotic pelican]

pramanix blue box counts as deploying stuff? o.o

[solemn elk]

😭 i wanna e2 my walatiist something so bad

[broken flame]

It's counted as an operator and a summon, weirdly enough

[shut flame]

who tf is using pull/skin currency for more runs

[exotic pelican]

so in IS it can benefit from both op and summon relics?

[shut flame]

hp relics

[exotic pelican]

i did it 4 years ago when i was new and resource starved. i think i stopped after a few months of account life tho

[gritty peak]

aww that s*cks tnx for the info

[thorny edge]

those who know

[frank wing]

the secret tactic of using primes to get more primes

[sand aurora]

Is patriot level of damage common in bosses? Or is it just that patriot is simply built different

[shut flame]

youre not even guaranteed the resource you want coz its rng

[thorny edge]

patriot is pretty weak

[pale tapir]

if you're okay with permanently reducing your base's LMD and EXP production potential then you can go ahead
just know that we warned you, it's irreversible

[exotic pelican]

can you use OP sanity refresh to farm 1-7 to farm orundum from base?

[broken flame]

NO

[thorny edge]

thats not what i was referring to

[sand aurora]

I mean in term of damage, because it one shots most ops

[astral jackal]

Should I E2 Necrass or Surtr

[shut flame]

banana

[thorny edge]

bosses that one shot ops arent that rare

[gritty peak]

i came to confirm coz they told me not to updrade rr and office here before..

[exotic pelican]

pretty much the only thing worth maxing on the right side is TR for masteries

this downgrades a TP to lv2 but proviso works great in a lv2 TP so it isn't really a loss

[thorny edge]

proviso works better in a lvl 2 tp

[sand aurora]

Or is it just that i'm so stupid trying to tank patriot with hoshi2?

[wanton meadow]

You forgot workshop

[limpid yarrow]

you can put up three units for borrow
like a normal altruistic person

[gritty peak]

notes taken ty

[thorny edge]

you're not supposed to tank him

[hexed adder]

Its all about more lv in Fac, but yea proviso benefit from it

[thorny edge]

he moves really slowly and he stops at places for ages

[limpid yarrow]

her defense is middling
also she can always tank for 11 seconds during s3 cancel

[thorny edge]

or just put howshitter further away so she can kill him

[limpid yarrow]

ironically hoshi1 might be better at face tanking
but also...don't face tank...

[broken flame]

Swire2 and the power of money trust

[thorny edge]

unless you have haruka s3 👍

[frank wing]

the only thing to tank really is the spear, unless that's unnecessary too

[broken flame]

12F can do it my goat

[abstract blade]

according to the farming guide, 2-2 has a far worse effiency than 2-5. so how am I supposed to get sugar?

and other tier 2 materials

[thorny edge]

pretty sure chalter can face tank it

[opaque remnant]

Credit store

[exotic pelican]

who's the tankiest range tile op without help? is it gladiia with the AH DR from mod3 or one of the phalanx casters without using skill?

[broken flame]

Lin maybe?

[opaque remnant]

Also the event shops

[thorny edge]

haruka with s3

[pale tapir]

blazeter against enemy that can't destroy her shield

[opaque remnant]

Doesn’t haruka with S2 tank anyways

Infinite bait

[thorny edge]

its prolly lin off skill

[abstract blade]

I bought out the event shop. theres an event stage that drops sugar I think I'll farm that

[sand aurora]

Necrass summon

[slate ridge]

should be Titi

[opaque remnant]

Sanity efficiency says it’s better to grind RMA

[frank wing]

lin with haruka s3

[abstract blade]

I dont need rma. I need t2 stuff

[thorny edge]

this is so dumb

[slate ridge]

Blaze2 is pretty tanky too ig

[thorny edge]

bro i have 9000 lmd 💀

[solemn elk]

does wis'adel e2s3 reach drones?

[thorny edge]

s3 can hit drones yes

[pale tapir]

s3 can hit air yes

[solemn elk]

ty!

[broken flame]

Cause archetype limitations be damned

[pale tapir]

[shadow bay]

does this mean wisadel viable to solo ca stages?

[hexed adder]

pv-5 quite nice, with event tokens as bonus

[shadow bay]

ngl i would still hit rma stage and just t2 farm on dead weeks... but ig u do u

[broken flame]

Entel can hit air too

[solemn elk]

guys who should i upgrade now?
https://www.krooster.com/u/prime-orchid-koala-92rb
