help

[obtuse obsidian]

-1 pull

[faint lotus]

Best part of IS 3 is that for 5*s, iana is a legitimately good pick

[ancient current]

eh whatever thanks

[keen scarab]

any need for weedy module?

[flat hamlet]

Here they are

[faint lotus]

Get her PUS-y if you really need to push something heavy otherwise use her x module

[fresh anvil]

i looked for one second and thought this wasn’t #help

[royal barn]

for haruka should i do s2m3

[marble viper]

average rechord L

[coarse notch]

most advanced content uses weedy modx

you're never realistically procing the trait effect of mody

[faint lotus]

It’s her more useful mod for sure

[abstract mauve]

oh... damn no one to build
i'd probably make sure the main units are built (exu2 s2m3 mod3, pram2 s2m3 mod2, sash2) then if you have ptilopsis or medic silence i'd consider building them. other than that (although slightly biased) sankta miksa and muelsyse can be decent. slightly biased but astgenne2 and CS can be alright but both need close to max investment (mod3, s2m3 for astgenne2 s3m3 for CS) to be just decent and generally are very low prio but you lowkey have nothing better.

[marble viper]

grandpa?

[silk grove]

Will Wisadel be sparkable on Closure banner?

[obtuse obsidian]

yes

[foggy sail]

Are all anni stages open right now?

[abstract mauve]

sankta miksa the goat (unbiased)

[fresh anvil]

kal2 banner , and yes

[marble viper]

[wraith sentinel]

Hmm, Exusiai's Module is worth the Level 3?

[obtuse obsidian]

tbf if theres an account that dont play niche knight that could benefit from miksa its that account

[fresh anvil]

ammoknights?

[abstract mauve]

exu sniper if you use her for some reason, yes. exu2 is the best ST dps in the game so also yes. any small seeming increase adds up

[obtuse obsidian]

nah its closure banner now
just like how first summer limited is mizuki banner

[neat mirage]

do i m3 tragodia s3 nymph s3 silveralt s3 or pramalt s3

[abstract mauve]

kal2 and closure are both good

[flat hamlet]

yea, I haven't been playing long, so not pulled a lot of units just yet haha. was thinking blaze for the s2, but seemed like a lot of investment for a unit that I have other standin options for... like kal s3 or ulpianus if needed. exu2 is maxed on mastery mods yea, same for pramama, mod3 too... sash2 done... didn't mastery his s2 yet, use s3 usually. will think about the welfares later haha, but grandpa is nice

[obtuse obsidian]

my point was not about good tbf

[faint lotus]

You don’t need nymph s3, s2 is her better skill

[opaque remnant]

You can ignore nymph

[neat mirage]

yeah i have their better skills masteried already im just asking cause sometimes i like to use other skills

[opaque remnant]

Where is his DPS

[obtuse obsidian]

silver prama trag nymph

[neat mirage]

aye thanks

[abstract mauve]

oh if you have ulpianus, gladiia with her X mod lvl2+ is an option to level. it's more of a QoL thing but it can be considered

[obtuse obsidian]

tho you can skip nymph its fraud skill

[silver spindle]

Whose a better medic lumen or silence??

[neat mirage]

damn is it really that bad

[abstract mauve]

silence

[opaque remnant]

I’d pick the 2nd just because surtr is a step above the rest

[flat hamlet]

think ulpi is at mod2 himself. i got gladiia just for that, but was told that gladiia is more of just a QoL since any healer can do it for him really yea

[obtuse obsidian]

am a virt hater so as a result nymph s3 take some of it nautrally

[neat mirage]

1 or 2 i think
prolly 2

[neat mirage]

damn!

[opaque remnant]

Mudrock isn’t doing much, gavial is uhhh, and thorns is ok at best

[abstract mauve]

SA2 gavialter account

[silver spindle]

Ahh alr thanks

[opaque remnant]

Gavialt? Interesting

[obtuse obsidian]

gavial alter is nice actually

she just overshadowed since release

[faint lotus]

As a primal caster enjoyer, nymph s3 is kinda mid

[opaque remnant]

Who overshadowed her on release

[ancient current]

friendly reminder this is against ToS

[obtuse obsidian]

mlynar

[abstract mauve]

good units

[severe crypt]

Yo rechord
good timing

[remote sable]

oh sorry! i'll unsend the message

[opaque remnant]

Yeah, that makes sense

[obtuse obsidian]

like gavial copium was she cycle with mlynar

but she still nice on her own

[wraith shoal]

is it if it's not account selling?

[young notch]

What character should I choose with my starter top operator selection permit?

[abstract mauve]

account sharing is against ToS as well

[ancient current]

it is. ToS specify sell, trade, transfer, gift

[opaque remnant]

Weren’t people doing that with gg and lapp2 as well

[wraith shoal]

oh damn alright

[nova oak]

horn or sa first?

[obtuse obsidian]

did not heard of that so probably was not as popular as gavial copium

e1 horn e2 sa e2 horn

[opaque remnant]

Did people care much about GG even

[nova oak]

i'm just doing e2's straight away, so sa first?

[abstract mauve]

people were doing some very cope things with GG and still are

[obtuse obsidian]

we always did wdym
we still do in fact

[median fable]

use Ulpi s3
SA first but you'd rather finish building the ops you've e2 (Flametail excluded)

[opaque remnant]

What does flame tail and archetto do for this team

[obtuse obsidian]

look cute

[young notch]

The pinned document just says no connection, so I can't use that.

[opaque remnant]

Makes sense

[nova oak]

the fact that they're the best that i currently have?
https://www.krooster.com/u/rhiraswen

[wraith shoal]

there was no need to raise archetto since you had max kroos already

[nova oak]

tell that to me 3 years ago 😭

[obtuse obsidian]

btw no point to ask why did they raise a unit

if its already raised let them be

[ancient current]

don't know what's up with your connection but here

[wraith shoal]

damn, oh well

[opaque remnant]

I’m just asking why they’re in the squad, that’s all

[nova oak]

to which i've already answered

[lethal orbit]

Hey was reading this old guide on which characters to avoid building, and it has beagle in it. it says to prio Cardigan instead in 3 stars. Any merit to this?

[opaque remnant]

Answer received

[ancient current]

you'd rather build spot

[glossy schooner]

Yeah, you can think it’s a bad choice but once it’s done it’s done, no un-upgrading ops after all

[lethal orbit]

dont have it yet

[sterile stag]

Spot is better than both i think

[foggy sail]

Eyja alter best skill for elemental damage healing?

[ancient current]

but it's mostly because beagle is replaceable by cuora or even noir corne which is cheaper

[lethal orbit]

Ok ill hold on until I get spot then

[young notch]

Thanks

[ancient current]

she generally uses s1, but it doesn't need m3

[nimble kite]

S1.

[foggy sail]

Damn that's really nice ty.

[obtuse obsidian]

s3 if you can time it
s1 for consistency

[wraith shoal]

is mutsumi that good for saki? She seemed like shit but tbh I'm not qualified for this

[ancient current]

s3 is also good for burst yeah. s1 is just the general comfy skill

[wraith sentinel]

https://www.krooster.com/u/bookwhyrm
On this note, is there anything else glaring that I've forgotten to do?
(Blaze and Surtr levels are intentionally low.)

[ancient current]

i don't use collab units

[nova oak]

who's the best pusher in the game?

[ancient current]

weedy

[nimble kite]

Weedy

[foggy sail]

Nah I just need something for the seaborne annihilations nervous impairment damage.

[nova oak]

between enforcer and feater who's better?

[coarse notch]

one of the best fever enablers yes
but you only bring her if you would otherwise have a dead slot, its not worth sacrificing a unit for her

[glossy schooner]

That’s the dollkeeper right? Good fever gen

[pearl forge]

Is going for kernel ops with yellow certs a thing? Or skippable?

[coarse notch]

feater

[ancient current]

well eyjalt is very good as a general healer in all situations if you have her. she is moreso a great general medic than an elemental medic really. healing elem dmg is a bonus

[wraith shoal]

do i just place her somewhere and she gains fever or is there a specific rotation?

[nimble kite]

Would say Enforcer for push, due to his ability to push from any position.

But FEater is good in base.

[coarse notch]

its a thing but only if you explicitly know what you're gonna do with them

[wraith sentinel]

Generates Fever when taking damage I think.

[glossy schooner]

All Ave say how they get fever in their passives

[obtuse obsidian]

if she can attack then s2 generate fuck lots of fever

her general damage is high for 5* too

[faint lotus]

Depends on the stage, normally feater, but enforcer can push enemies in the direction he’s facing regardless of the enemies position

[ancient current]

different usage. feater's advantage is that she has very long range on s2 allowing for some techs. enforcer has directional push and 0 damage on skill, and stun, so that allows for other techs. both are viable in their own way. and feater has the "good in base" bonus like bengal said

does enforcer do anything in base

[wraith shoal]

oh yeah forgor

[faint lotus]

Combine her with uika s1 for unreasonable fever generation

[obtuse obsidian]

feel like mutsumi already generate too much on her own but i had limited experience with full ave squad

[faint lotus]

Just mutsumi s2 and uika s1 can activate fever twice with one skill use if you time it right

You will need someone else to actually activate it though

[eager rapids]

im tired of this event how many rounds would i need for one more level

[obtuse obsidian]

like 1 assuming you win

[eager rapids]

i can just leave early and get the points right

[obtuse obsidian]

i have no idea

[young glacier]

Or penalty for spoiling others experience

[obtuse obsidian]

i assume he doing it solo

[eager rapids]

there's solo but you gave me a fun idea

[obtuse obsidian]

we already have 5 leavers per match

[random shard]

Just play groups and get carried

But really the lowest level of reading comprehension should make the lowest difficulty super easy

[pale tapir]

actually this is interesting someone in here contested me about uika s1 saying s2 was better, claiming that mutsumi's s2 triple strikes only deal one instance of damage to her, and uika's s2 0.3s heal interval being faster than mutsumi's aspd means uika gets more heals in
but when I tested it just now uika s1 definitely mogs s2 in terms of fever gen, and it appeared as though mutsumi s2 does deal 3 instances of self damage
is there a way to figure out who's right here when it comes to mutsumi s2

[abstract mauve]

mutsumi s2 seems set in stone. like what are you gonna run? her s1?

this seems to be more of an uika s1 vs s2 deal

[obtuse obsidian]

wtf s1 even do i mastered that without reading it 🥔

[pale tapir]

it is an uika s1 vs s2 but their argument hinges on whether mutsumi s2 deals triple strikes of damage to herself

[abstract mauve]

it should be dealing triple strike cuz otherwise how does she generate ~70% of the fever bar alone

[opaque remnant]

Defender lite, she also blocks during doll when she gets defeated on skill

[pale tapir]

hmm yeah then idk why they were saying that uika s1 was better because 0.3s interval was faster than mutsumi's attack interval
because the thing is that 0.3s is faster than 1/3 of mutsumi's interval (0.42s)
but s2 definitely performs worse fever gen wise regardless of an enemy being present in uika's range or not

[faint lotus]

Don’t forget that uika’s s1 also works off the elemental damage from necrosis

[polar hollow]

does mountain s3 have any uses?

[coarse notch]

im sure you can pull some use out of your ass but practically speaking no

[opaque remnant]

It does… something I guess?

[coarse notch]

it does his para sim

[pale tapir]

waaait so mutsumi talent 1 makes her take 2 instances of damage (1 as original source type and 1 as necrosis) every time she takes damage?
like necrosis is taken as an actual instance and not just bar fills up

[lyric lagoon]

not bad against low weight enemies, but then again so is basically any other shifter

[abstract mauve]

should be just bar

[obtuse obsidian]

i used it

not ingame i used it to shit on any bagpipe combat shiller

[abstract mauve]

i heard was used in OOC lowop years back

[opaque remnant]

Bagpipe… in combat?

[formal shadow]

I can see it work :ya:

[opaque remnant]

What could you even use bagpipe for in combat

[abstract mauve]

free blockshifting

[opaque remnant]

The hole

[slate ridge]

SA2 S2 shilling

[obtuse obsidian]

drop her and click s3

people shilled that as big deal back in the day

[faint lotus]

Mutsumi’s talent makes her take one instance of damage and one instance of elemental injury, mutsumi’s fever generation increases from physical and arts damage, along with elemental injury. Uika’s talent increases fever when she heals an ave mujica operator, and her s1 heals anyone in range when they take ANY type of damage, so when mutsumi triggers necrosis burst on her self, the elemental damage adds an extra source of damage for uika’s s1 to heal

[formal shadow]

I'd imagine bagpipe had a decent amount of cc clears just due to the old system

[pale tapir]

hmm in my tests though necrosis burst doesn't proc
and s1 still wins

[obtuse obsidian]

bagpipe had a lot of cc cause old CC fucked dp and we needed her talent

[limpid yarrow]

bagpipie has 11 CC tops just for giving initial SP 😭

[formal shadow]

she also did do enough damage to hold early lane

[abstract mauve]

bagpipe kinda goated

[obtuse obsidian]

litirally weaker then tier 1 IS relic used in 11 CCs

[limpid yarrow]

for later clears her skills literally did not matter you would top with s1 because you would also never deploy bagpipe 😔

honestly the game might not even have 11 ccs left before EOS so quite the impressive record

[obtuse obsidian]

CC is lame ass mode anyway
dos is superior CC

[formal shadow]

shame we only had 1 DoS 🥀

[limpid yarrow]

yall sleeping on poo

[formal shadow]

DoS T stages were some of the most enjoyable stages imo

literal "random bullshit go" stage

[faint lotus]

Oh wait, I see your mistake radio

Mutsumi’s s2 doesn’t reduce her attack interval by 1/3, it makes her attack 3 times per attack

[timber finch]

does Necrass need to kill to make minions or anything that die in her range makes them anyways ?

[opaque remnant]

What’s DoS?

[faint lotus]

So the time between her self arts damage is less then 0.3 seconds

[faint lotus]

Design of Strife, the prototype for vector breakthrough

[pale tapir]

yeah but her attack interval is still 1.25s so on average it's 0.42s per uika heal instance no?

[opaque remnant]

Oh neat

[slate ridge]

The idea is you use it on weight 3 elites for attack cancel
Weight 2 is fine
Weight 1 and lower is dps loss since they can take longer to get back into Mountain range but if you only care about 30s of push then its okay

[faint lotus]

Her attack interval is actually 0.95 seconds at m3, but regardless, the attacks aren’t evenly spaced out over the duration, they all happen around the moment of attack

[abstract mauve]

isnt that Interlocking Competition that was the direct inspiration for Vector breakthrough?

[pale tapir]

but does that matter?
whether she does 1 attack every X seconds or 3 attacks every 3X seconds it's the same isn't it?

[faint lotus]

I’m pretty sure both of them eventually become vector breakthrough

[abstract mauve]

ye mechanics from both do show up here

[faint lotus]

It does for uika s2, as it can only heal every 0.3 seconds, if the attacks are spread evenly then she heals 3 times, if they’re clustered around one point in time, she may only heal once

[pale tapir]

ohhhhh that's what u mean
because s1 is instance based and s2 is time based if the instances are clustered, s1 heals 3 times while s2 only heals once
thus uika gens 15 fever per mutsumi attack with s1 vs 5 fever per mutsumi attack with s2

[abstract mauve]

i mean you can just test all this and calc it

[pale tapir]

I did test it, it just didn't make sense as to why
also it's hard to read the fever gauge

[faint lotus]

Anyone can kill enemies in necrass’ attack range and she’ll make a summon, the enemies can even kill them selves and she’ll still make a summon

[sturdy drift]

Are the recruitment tag probabilities displayed anywhere in game? If so, where can I find them? If not, are there people here who have been keeping track of the probabilities? I would like to know the chances for Senior Operator and Top Operator

[timber finch]

interesting

[plain hemlock]

Any point going above 24 adverse score in ch15?

[lyric lagoon]

bragging rights, otherwise no

[sturdy drift]

I'm also missing 4 of the robots, so if anyone could share the probability of the robot tag (or any other way to get them), then much would be appreciated

[nimble kite]

We can only guess.

[wraith sentinel]

For Robots you can try just using the non-Robot tag for them and setting the timer low enough.

[sturdy drift]

1 hour or 3:50?

[obtuse obsidian]

i remember long ago someone did some tracking but the samble was still small

like it was 1% for top op iirc

[wispy peak]

what does limited modality mean?

[wraith sentinel]

3:50, higher is better because it means a lower chance for the tags to drop.

[pale tapir]

that said why throw away green and gold certs for robots

limited modality means something only works in specific game modes
you'll usually see it for IS or RA modules

[inland cloud]

Anyone got a picture for upcoming events?

[sturdy drift]

I have never gotten top operator and I have been playing for over a year. I want to say it's rigged but I must have missed it doing dailies on autopilot

[wraith sentinel]

Exclusive to one gamemode, e.g. Integrated Strategies or Reclamation Algorithm.

[sturdy drift]

You mean it's possible for tags to be ignored?

[obtuse obsidian]

those usually have insanly more powerful effects and cost nothing to get so recommended if you want to use the unit

[pale tapir]

you've never gotten top op even with the guaranteed top op tag they just handed out?

[sturdy drift]

I did from the guaranteed. Not naturally though. Doesn't count.

[wraith sentinel]

Yes, other than Senior Operator and Top Operator tags (when set at 9:00) all tags have a chance to drop.

[obtuse obsidian]

its all luck i got 2 more after the guranteed

[sturdy drift]

So getting the robots is very hard then if 3:50 has a high chance of being dropped. Makes sense

[pale tapir]

#game-news for current upcoming events
/cnevents in #bot-spam for events that happened in CN and have yet to come to global (order not guaranteed)

[inland osprey]

if you want to farm mats should you do it in standard or adverse?

[obtuse obsidian]

same shit

[inland cloud]

Aight thanks

[sturdy drift]

How do you get Terra Research Commission and U-Official? I'm missing those 1* operators too

[obtuse obsidian]

terra you wait for kirin r yato event rerun

[pale tapir]

u official is free from april fool's event
you have to do her little minigame

[tidal vale]

u-official from april fools

[wraith sentinel]

If no tags drop; Sniper + Support guarantees Justice Knight, Vanguard + Crowd Control makes Confess-47 likely (the only other option is Texas) and Elemental guarantees PhonoR-0. Not sure if the other Robots have non-Robot tag combinations.

[obtuse obsidian]

i heard cn news announced mon hon but idk if they announced kirin

[rapid mason]

-# what in the blue archive is blessing my eyes with that avatar

[wraith sentinel]

They did announce the first event is rerunning.

[inland cloud]

[obtuse obsidian]

arknight suzuran was first smh

[pale tapir]

wait really do u have a link 🥹

[rapid mason]

true 🤤

[sturdy drift]

What about Friston-3? Just defender?

[wraith sentinel]

https://ak.hypergryph.com/news/2823

[wraith sentinel]

Defender and Defense, but those tags are shared by over a dozen other operators.

[nimble kite]

Yes.

[obtuse obsidian]

is zilen and kongboe orchid and catapult?....

[wraith sentinel]

Probably.

I'm happy since I rather like both of them.

[sturdy drift]

https://arknights.fandom.com/wiki/Operator/1-star
How come this page doesn't have PhonoR-0 or Confess-47? Is the fandom not the right place to look?

[obtuse obsidian]

i wanted durin

[faint lotus]

Don’t use the fandom wiki

[wraith sentinel]

The fandom wiki is not being updated anymore, wiki.gg is the current one.

[coarse notch]

fandom wiki has been abandoned for years

[obtuse obsidian]

all the robots are in robot tag

you can check the aceship fork site in pins to see recruit tags think its updated

[sturdy drift]

Ok, it was the first result, that is why I clicked on it

[wraith sentinel]

Unfortunately fandom still often has SEO priority.

[sturdy drift]

Yes, but I do not see displayed probabilities anywhere in game. I was wondering if people knew them
The robot tag appears very unlikely

[obtuse obsidian]

noone know them except hg

[sturdy drift]

Has anyone been keeping track of their recruitment tags?

[wraith sentinel]

If you look around on the subreddit you'll find a bunch of posts.

[sturdy drift]

What are some easy and common tags to remember to min-max my gold cert income?

[obtuse obsidian]

go bot spam and type /rectags

[wraith sentinel]

Crowd-Control, Support, Fast-Redeploy, Specialist, Shift, Debuff, Summon and Nuker all guarantee 4*s or above (if you set the timer at 7:40+).

[sturdy drift]

Thank you, and I found where bot-spam was

[chrome tiger]

yay i can finally whoops rathalos’ ass again

[sturdy drift]

I assume we also don't know what the probability of a tag being dropped is either right? We just know Senior/Top operator 9 hrs never gets dropped. Otherwise Suport and DP-Recovery would always be a 5*

[obtuse obsidian]

yes
also always do 9 hours for tags

9 hours have highest chance of not dropping so dont risk it

[rapid mason]

Is it worth farming for and buying royal specialist tokens in the shop for Wang?

try waiting for 10 mins moreand give results

[silk marten]

Hey yall, Im a returning player thats just came back after 3 or 4 year hiatus from 2023 i think (whenever chalter was in global). Been so busy with school but now im ready to hop back in. I wanted to know if the current ops i have is still good enough/potential ops for investing for the content up till now

[wraith shoal]

siege e2? Hella based

[fresh anvil]

damn the image aint loading for me

[grave bramble]

My siege is e2 s1m2

[amber robin]

in case i wanted to go full pity 300 pull how much it gonna cost me in term of money ? normaly 10 pull how much costs ?

[wraith shoal]

if you like bought OP packs?

[fresh anvil]

how much and
do you have

[amber robin]

now i have 50k but in case i had 0

[wraith shoal]

it's like 600 bucks from OP packs I believe

my math seems a bit off wait

[rapid mason]

a lot, like around 500$

[amber robin]

okok tnx for info

[wraith sentinel]

Certainly outdated but general content should still be manageable.

[obtuse obsidian]

back then that was a normal raise smh

[wraith shoal]

no less based

[silk marten]

Is there any content that you think might be too difficult with the ops i have now, and is there any ops i should consider pulling for in the future or now?

[wraith shoal]

wang in like 2.5 months

[fresh anvil]

wang good

[pale tapir]

you'll be able to clear gen content just fine but most of the ops you have are old and kinda washed (no surprise there)
rosmimi, kelsey, cheeto are good in IS with their IS modules
honestly wouldn't invest in anyone unleveled rn
gun to my head maybe ling ig
ceobe, surtr, weedy, etc still have some usage

[fresh anvil]

also looks good for a shu angle cause you have three suis

[rapid mason]

shu is sparkable on the next limited

[obtuse obsidian]

the game did not power creep much in term of enemies

it just try to bs the mechanics to fuck you up instead so as long as you read general stuff should be easy

[wraith sentinel]

Endgame like Contingency Contract, Vector Breakthrough or Holographic Combat Matrix will probably be very tough.

[tulip inlet]

Which module should I use for Kal'tsit outside of IS? I assume for IS you use her IS module?

[wraith sentinel]

(The third is permanent content though, so no stress there.)

[obtuse obsidian]

CC did not get harder really

[pale tapir]

and HCM is just permanent CC

[fresh anvil]

you get operation blade as the theme

[frosty flame]

There ever been cn only collabs?

[pale tapir]

amiya astronaut skin I think

[fresh anvil]

me thinks haidilao is one example

[silk marten]

ooh okay thats good to know then. still glad to see that gen content is still clearable relatively speaking. and yeah, no suprise enemy mechanics only ramped up from there. i remembered getting blasted on thr light dark mechanic when we were in kazi for nearl alter

[obtuse obsidian]

guard amiya only have 1 skin the space suit is not real

[pale tapir]

silence I want it

[frosty flame]

As long as its just cosmetic 🙏

[fresh anvil]

operator named silence:

[wraith sentinel]

It's so funny that her actual name is Silence and it isn't a codename she came up with.

[pale tapir]

I'm also down bad for olivia so my statement still holds true

[obtuse obsidian]

we just had a rerun of a bullshit mechanic where every enemy is either invis or have 90% damage redection until you let the event do its shit

but anyway our ops did ramp up in power with wang being the next big power creep so i recommend pulling him (also he come with 3rd chen)

[left tulip]

whos olivia

[pale tapir]

yeah definitely save for ch3n and wang don't be tempted by banners in between

[wraith sentinel]

Olivia Silence.

[fresh anvil]

third chen good

[left tulip]

oh i see

[silk marten]

i do love more chen with a side of chen. i know once i get guard amiya, im leveling up her skills immediately (once i get through tge dialogue)

[fresh anvil]

theres a medic amiya too

[pale tapir]

medicmiya is the best of the amiyis
especially in IS

[fresh anvil]

thats right you totally should catch up on is

[hoary bramble]

how long would it take to max out 1 IS?

[nocturne laurel]

Depends on the IS but veryyyy long

[pale tapir]

depends on how pro u are and what your roster looks like and which IS you haven't cleared

[nocturne laurel]

IS5 is like 20 mins per run which gives like 3 levels

[wraith sentinel]

In IS2 or 3 a run takes like over an hour (at least for me).

[pale tapir]

IS5 is the fastest one if you have the right ops and know the strat

[nocturne laurel]

Every other is is just 1 hour or more

[left tulip]

how much am i missing out if i tell myself i dont wanna touch IS except for monthly until i have ops that make it more fun btw

[wraith sentinel]

Not much.

It's mostly just resources.

[obtuse obsidian]

you cant miss out on something that always will be there

[pale tapir]

the old ones will always be there so you can just do it whenever

[left tulip]

fair enough

[obtuse obsidian]

i also had fun playing temp only

[pearl forge]

There is a monthly?

[left tulip]

the missions

[pearl forge]

Wut? Then I missed a year of it

[sterile ledge]

u get to do them after aswell no?

[wraith sentinel]

They become permanent.

[faint lotus]

You can still go back and do them now

[sterile ledge]

is nasti worth pulling?

[nimble kite]

Pins.

And if you wonder can this thing change path - also in pins.

[dire edge]

are the observers worth pulling?

[nimble kite]

Who?

[dire edge]

the observers

[nimble kite]

Ummmmm? Who exactly?

[nocturne laurel]

Observers of the sky

[dire edge]

indeed

[nocturne laurel]

Check pins

[dire edge]

[nimble kite]

I still have no clue what are you yapping

[severe crypt]

Nasti???

[fresh anvil]

what

[nocturne laurel]

Rhine lab

[dire edge]

how much of the lore have u read?

[faint lotus]

It’s the name of the banner

[nimble kite]

I married to skip button bro.

[severe crypt]

Like we know banners by their government name

[fresh anvil]

just say nasti bor

[dire edge]

ah, makes sense

[faint lotus]

Wait no it’s not

[dire edge]

na i meant the observers like the folks priestess was prepping for

twas supposed to be a joke

[faint lotus]

The banner’s called 600 meters over the facts

[fresh anvil]

[nocturne laurel]

Only lore people would catch it 😔

[nimble kite]

Well, go to #arknights then, since it's help.

[dire edge]

help determining :)

[coarse notch]

crazy what happens when you post deep lore spoilers in the wrong channel

[frank wing]

just say the operator name

[pale tapir]

should I spark djerwnapekhaper saciut hatshepsut

[dire edge]

[frank wing]

yes

[fresh anvil]

what is going on

[faint lotus]

Wait for zima alter

[dire edge]

ima name someone that

[native bough]

Whats best skill for necrass?

[dire edge]

depends on role

what u using purple war criminal as?

[ancient current]

generally just s3

[severe crypt]

I’d say s2/s1 are kinda niche, no?

[frank wing]

isnt one of them for sleepknights

[ancient current]

and sleepknights is niche

[faint lotus]

S2

[ancient current]

what does s1 even do

[dire edge]

is it ark nights or ar knights? could never figure it out

[severe crypt]

Btw rechord this guy keeps making ass jokes

[ancient current]

that's for #ak-lore or #arknights

[coarse notch]

mfw 明日方舟

[dire edge]

indeed

but this one was more serious because i cant make proper jokes without the right spelling

[severe crypt]

Well is it gameplay related

[elfin ermine]

What to get?

[frank wing]

I forgot is mon3tr module worth it

[fresh anvil]

ark no nights

[nocturne laurel]

Isnt this kalsit guarantee

[fresh anvil]

you can get kal me thinks

[coarse notch]

mod1 is pretty good, mod3 is more optional imo

[elfin ermine]

Medic Top?

[nocturne laurel]

Summon+medic+top

[fresh anvil]

and summon

[nimble kite]

Summon too

[frank wing]

could do medic summon for kal, or shift for weedy. Both are good, kal is probably better

[elfin ermine]

Alright thanks

[fresh anvil]

no problemo

[elfin ermine]

Wait I already have P1 Kal, should I get Kal or Weedy

[fresh anvil]

try weedy?

[frank wing]

if you have no weedy get weedy

[nimble kite]

Oh, Weedy then if don't have.

[hoary bramble]

no coin on is6 last floor will cook runs right?

[fresh anvil]

dont you have coupons still

[hoary bramble]

nothing

[nocturne laurel]

Believe and pray

[fresh anvil]

nothing can do just hope you have the technique

[opaque remnant]

Summon top for kal, shift top for weedy

[obtuse obsidian]

i mean relics matter more imo

[fresh anvil]

how many relics does bro have

[rain forge]

Send relics and the ops you drafted

also what difficulty and what ending

[obtuse obsidian]

3 and a half

[rain forge]

what

[fresh anvil]

whats 3 and a half

[sterile ledge]

do yall think orchid and catapult alter are gonna be good?

[nocturne laurel]

#cn-lounge

[severe crypt]

#arknights might be more suitable

[fresh anvil]

really now

[rain forge]

my brother in Christ we don’t even know if they’re going to be the new operators

[obtuse obsidian]

they are not durin so no

[hoary bramble]

yeah got cooked 🔥

[fresh anvil]

next time just show comp and relics 💔

[scenic yoke]

Just switched to a new phone and I have this cutoff on the sides now is there anything I can do to get rid of them

[rain forge]

There’s an option for that in the settings or the ui option

I forgot where it’s located but it exists

[scenic yoke]

thank you will check once downloaded

[flint onyx]

This slider in settings above additional resources

[fresh anvil]

actually that reminds me i should check if i have that too

[lyric jewel]

do i set time to 2:50 for highest chance to get a robot with the robot tag?

[hidden nacelle]

forgot if orienteering and JO pity stack for standard

[odd sky]

3hr 50m

[violet siren]

how do I find the bgm that was used during a section of the story?

[urban sleet]

Yt is your best bet

[odd sky]

https://akgcc.github.io/ story reader then use extension to download it

[violet siren]

ty

wait how do you use the story reader, I'm looking for the bgm used in this specific section (BB-4) but the buttons on the top right don't do anything😅

[scenic yoke]

I can't find the pin anymore what skill for sa2?

[uncut musk]

is this good enough playtime for 1 month

[tidal pumice]

Strange question which will be in effect U-official trading post buff or proviso. One counts as not being defaulted trade for less than 2 while proviso counts all trade that are lower than 4 defaulted

[scenic yoke]

Bro makes ark nights a full-time job

[odd sky]

what story is this

[violet siren]

Babel (BB-4 After Combat)

[eager hull]

This best choice?

[tidal vale]

wouldnt it be 160 hours for a month instead

[violet siren]

s3 ur probably gonna use the most for immediate deployment and dp printing, s2 if u have something specific in mind

[eager hull]

Guys
Is this the best choice of tags

For some reason my browser isnt working so i cant use my recruitment calculator

[ancient current]

summon alone works fine too, same outcome

I actually don't know how tag dropping works so idk if choosing medic can tank a drop

[uncut musk]

how the fuck do you beat the final boss of chapter 8

[ancient current]

JT8-3?

[uncut musk]

its the only chapter I haven't finished

[ancient current]

#strategy with your squad

[uncut musk]

also whats the 3rd form of Amiya?

wait wiki exist nvm

[stray gust]

does anyone have any idea when would be monhun #2 releasing for EN?

[violet siren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-5q4SA3rG8&t=2602s
this is the bgm I'm looking for. I tried using shazam but it didn't find anything

[neat kayak]

does the -20% redeployment time affect tragodia's cat?

[odd sky]

yea idk why akgcc doesn't work anymore, i'm in prts rn manually going through the story, just chill

[tepid abyss]

After kalt2

[wraith sentinel]

About six months after CN release probably (which is in June I think?).

[odd sky]

i got it
https://torappu.prts.wiki/assets/audio/music/avg/m_avg_ghosthunter_intro.mp3

[stray gust]

cause hypergryph delayed the monhun#2 due to political reason and it seems that recent week has been less tense, which is why they managed to release it now despite it being helidrop. I am curious how it would affect the EN side

[violet siren]

tysm

[odd sky]

i was worried i have to dig through the github

[tepid abyss]

i think it's affect CN side more because mary players use all pulls to get kalt2 and pram2

[odd sky]

💀

[obtuse obsidian]

btw all of this shit fall under rule 5

[tepid abyss]

you just need to remember it after kalt2

[obtuse obsidian]

monhon 2 can drop at any point they feel like

[stray gust]

more like, assuming if situation goes worse, will monhun collab be cancelled or delayed even further for the EN/JP?KR side?

[obtuse obsidian]

.

[tepid abyss]

emmm

[plain hemlock]

Is leizi2 mod3 relevant or mod1 is enough

[odd sky]

mod1 is enough

[tepid abyss]

so don't use all pulls for kalt2

[stray gust]

I just hoped they don't helidrop for EN side also since we got wang in a couple of months tiem

[wraith sentinel]

Eh, Mod3 is quite decent due to how Liberators stack.

[odd sky]

[stray gust]

but hey at least I don't need to pull for yato2, just noir corne pot

[obtuse obsidian]

for non limiteds the best guess is just 6 months from cn

they can drop it earlier or later we dont know

[ancient current]

nobody knows

[tepid abyss]

I feel that every collaboration might be the last, and some collaborations are even canceled before they even begin.

[spark sage]

how many tcreds do i need to e2 lvl 60 a 6* character from scratch?

[ancient current]

do you mean lmd

[spark sage]

ye

[tepid abyss]

I think you should pay more attention to LMD.

[woven mica]

Ai bro i don't wanna be disrespectful but are ya in any terror group ?(Ur profile says otherwise)

[ancient current]

https://puppiizsunniiz.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/aklevel.html

[ancient current]

not something for this channel. move elsewhere

[woven mica]

My bad

[spark sage]

thanks

[tepid abyss]

Did you guys know that Destiny 2 was canceled before it even started?

[ancient current]

keep comments relevant. ask questions as needed

[odd sky]

#help message

[plain hemlock]

Epic, I'll just get Mod2 then ty

[delicate locust]

Do we have an approximate date for when the mh collab will drop for cn and global servers

Or a guesstimate

[ancient current]

complete guesswork until it's officially announced for global in #game-news

[woven mica]

Do saki module is really necessary? Cause looking at the description I think she needs her band members I don't really wanna invest in them

[stray gust]

destiny 2 creates its own problem unlike monhun

[delicate locust]

Shouldn’t it release to global with the 6 month delay from cn servers?

[ancient current]

mod2 is very much needed

[ancient current]

roughly. can be more, can be less. Yostar may move it around as they please

[ivory terrace]

mod 2 alrdy makes it so that she dun suffer from skills doing 80% atk at range due to trait

[tepid abyss]

Actually, she's not tied to a band; the band just raises the bar.

[stray gust]

apparently bungie made some comment regarding china and taiwan which causes its game to get backlash from china side, and AK is a chinese game.

[plain hemlock]

She really wants mod2 and it has nothing to do with the band. Band members are mostly used to extend range and generate more fever

[tepid abyss]

I think that, apart from Blaze2, there are very few operators who are forcibly bound to other operators.

Even though in most cases you can just leave Upli and Glady there and ignore them.

[ancient current]

ulpi isn't bound to gladiia in any way
forcibly bound is a strong word, blaze2 is just meh without yu but still functional. you'd think more along the lines of bards who juste exist to buff any other op, or in high end content for specific strats

[wraith sentinel]

At least Blaze has bait usage.

[stray gust]

blaze2 is more dependent on yu compared to ulpipi dependence of gladiia

[odd sky]

[tepid abyss]

So, what kind of agent do you think Youstar is?

[odd sky]

who? is that from mohun?

[wraith sentinel]

(Yostar.)

[tepid abyss]

I've seen rumors that it keeps opening limited-banners in order to make money.

[obtuse obsidian]

what are you yapping about

[nimble fractal]

Hey just started the game, i looked at the recommendation for the current banner it says its decent to pull if you dont have them, does that also count for new players or should i just wait for a high value banner? :)

[tepid abyss]

It seems that was a rumor.

[limpid yarrow]

no we have the same banner schedule roughly

you might be thinking of taiwan
which has been catching up really quick with barely any time in between events

[brisk shell]

I've been having a lot of fun with SA2's S2 preloading the double frost arc and would like to raise a unit or 2 specifically for dropin explosion then retreat. Looking for recommendations for really high ATK stat operators with really low cost/redeployment time

So far I'm looking at crownslayer

[wraith sentinel]

Do you mean the Leizi / Hoederer banner? Generally not great due to bad rates (only 25% chance per rate-up when getting a 6*) but if you're willing to reroll Leizi is a very good pickup.

[wraith sentinel]

Phantom also works I believe, Executors in general.

[tepid abyss]

teax2 and yedao2

[woven mica]

Check pins that's your best solution for current situation

[tepid abyss]

but they all limited

[wraith sentinel]

At least Yato is getting a rerun.

[stray gust]

the only sad part about the rerun is that I only want noir corne pot

[limpid yarrow]

oh talking about hypergryph
yostar only publishes yj is the one that decides banners

imo the current situation is unlucky but we all know why monhun was delayed so it makes sense
can't really blame them for it

[nimble fractal]

yes thats the banner i mean ^^ gonna reroll for leizi then, ty!

[limpid yarrow]

not a conversation for #help tho 😔

[brisk shell]

I just realized I've never read the description on Executor. That's even better than I thought thanks.

[ancient current]

I hope you mean the specialist subclass and not the operator

[brisk shell]

Yes

[brisk shell]

Holy cow ignores deployment limit seems like something I should have had to abuse by now. I can't believe I don't have one trained.

[proven kelp]

Executors in general don't have high atk stats, the slashes will deal piss dmg

[ancient current]

keep questions relevant and gameplay related

[wraith sentinel]

I think only 1*s ignore Deployment Limit?

[limpid yarrow]

phantom works better in IS tbh
his IS module lets you double dip his s2 buff for beeeeg slashes

[ancient current]

(ntrk s2, morgan in her chapter)

[wraith sentinel]

True, I meant more as a general rule.

[nimble fractal]

what?

[ancient current]

and you can keep stacking it praying he doesn't implode from the first hyperbuffed common enemy that breezes past him

[wraith sentinel]

Lower cost / redeployment timer seemed like the more important requirement from the question.

[limpid yarrow]

lend me more +20% atk stacks these are basic slugs we're up against

[brisk shell]

Sorry I was about to reply to you but then got an answer to my questions so I had to reply. What I was going to say to you is IMO units like Leizi (Liberator) aren't great for early carry units because they have 0 block and are generally more tuned for challenge battles

[coarse notch]

what, leizi is broken for early game

[proven kelp]

I mean they first ask about really High Atk stats first over low redeployment

And the original purpose is to drop an explosion and retreat, dropping a water balloon to the enemy is barely an explosion

[wraith sentinel]

S1 is quite spammable, just put a Defender behind her.

[brisk shell]

I would rather have Mountain for the first 3 months of the game than Leizi

[tepid abyss]

They weren't meant to be used as a barrier.

[left tulip]

3 MONTHS???????

[coarse notch]

aw hell nah

[nimble fractal]

ohhhh hahahah that makes sense :)

[odd sky]

[ancient current]

you generally have perfectly fine blockers in early game anyway. cue in your average low star defenders who work mighty fine
leizi is here to kill the enemies they're blocking. it's pretty simple. she is still applicable

[woven mica]

Yes

[brisk shell]

She's tedious

[left tulip]

Bro mountain is turning dead in a week not 3 months

[coarse notch]

she really isnt

[odd sky]

s2 is very accesible aswell

[woven mica]

Upto ch6 he carried like me a princess

[proven kelp]

Bro mountain is already in hell

[wraith sentinel]

Additionally S1 deals triple damage to enemies on her tile due to each 'wave' originating from there.

[coarse notch]

theres a reason why tequila should be one of the first welfares you pickup

[ancient current]

quite unfortunate you have to actually learn to play the game instead of afk slopping immediately at day 1

[brisk shell]

Yeah, I have her I raissed her and I use her when I need her niche, but she sits bench 95% of the time

So does Ulpanus, Liberators are overrated

[odd sky]

what is her niche

[wraith sentinel]

Also being invulnerable to almost all ground enemies in off-time is very handy.

[ancient current]

leizi's probably one of the last operators I'd call niche

[proven kelp]

I don't even know what's adding in a week to make Mountain dead when he's already beyond help

[left tulip]

You didn’t read the context of my message

[coarse notch]

only one of the strongest dps operators and a top 3 guard, hella niche id say

[ancient current]

killing enemies

so, any dps operator

[brisk shell]

Killing large waves on a cooldown

[wraith sentinel]

(Her niche is being very cute.)

[limpid yarrow]

her niche is s1 tbh
maximizes take off uptime

covers tragodia s3 downtime with tremble procs

arclight fans are remembering

[coarse notch]

if you need her to do stuff constantly throw her down with s1
otherwise e1 s2 consistently solocarries accounts

[limpid yarrow]

other skills are still good tho just not as unique

[wraith sentinel]

I enjoy S1 a lot, yeah.

[ancient current]

just because an operator wants timely skill activations doesn't mean they're niche
they need to be managed well sure but that's kind of the point of most ops. you have to look after most of them anyways, unless you're afking

[left tulip]

S1 is fun asf

[coarse notch]

believe it or not most operators dont really do anything offskill
arknights fundamentally revolves around cycling skills to waves

[ancient current]

arknights generally doesn't constantly throw tough waves at you, unless you're in something like instinct contamination and every second is pure suffering

[odd sky]

holy old

[coarse notch]

guess whos good in instinct contamination, mlynar

[wraith sentinel]

In the Chance Meeting Encounter (IS3), does "Lose 6 Life Point, but gain 4 Max Life Point" mean you only gain an increase of 4 to the cap but not current Life Points or is it a total loss of only 2?

[ancient current]

I've seen kermit experiment with mizuki ange in relicless
anyways that's besides the point

leizi2 will be applicable in most situations

[coarse notch]

generally the solution to constant elites isnt to resort to laneholders like mountain, its to cycle bursts so they cover each others' downtimes

[ancient current]

-# mountain in instinct contamination??

[proven kelp]

Mountain is just gonna die against them anyway

[coarse notch]

just referring to that guy talking about how they'd rather have mountain than leizi for the first 3 months of an account

[ancient current]

ah ok thought there was a secret tech for half a second

[left tulip]

which is also what I was referring to earlier btw

[odd sky]

4 cap

[ancient current]

anyways

[coarse notch]

secret mountain is4 technology 🤫

[proven kelp]

Damn this is some low tier content slop tech

[coarse notch]

samivilinn is a mountain therefore mountain must be good

[proven kelp]

We also kill samivilinn, does that mean Mountain needs to die!

[ancient current]

surely the next comment on this slides into is station before I nuke

anyways leizi2 isn't niche

[stray gust]

wait regarding the +4 max lp -6 current lp it is actually just a net lost of -2 current lp right?

[proven kelp]

I mean max LP means the next time you get a full restore you're getting more!

[odd sky]

i believe it's just 4 to cap, so 6 loss

[wraith sentinel]

The Three-Dimensional Artwork is handy for that, but not something I can guarantee.

[spark sage]

When was sakiko released??

[wraith sentinel]

Check the wiki.

[stray gust]

from what I remember it is usually +4 current lp that comes together with +4 max lp

[proven kelp]

Around 3 months ago

[stray gust]

it increases both your current and max by 4

[spark sage]

[nimble fractal]

rerolling for lizei is tedious i give up, you cant reroll with the mail rewards

[proven kelp]

Reroll for Top op instead

[coarse notch]

you should have 7 single pulls and a reroll takes 5 minutes

[ancient current]

is rerolling for kal an actual strategy now

[proven kelp]

Better than starting raw

[nimble fractal]

not even a multi 💀 how high is the change to get an 6 star AND beeing lizei

[proven kelp]

If Leizi is a 10
Everything in Beginner banner is a 1

[coarse notch]

0.5%

you dont have to reroll, you'll be fine just playing normally
but leizi2 is a very strong op

[wraith sentinel]

Also a very fun one.

All three of her Skills have actual usages, unlike some Operators.

[woven mica]

@nimble fractal

[ancient current]

don't ping socks for this

[woven mica]

My bad but I can't see the one making same mistakes as me

[left tulip]

Who’s socks is socks

[weary wren]

This is probably a really stupid question but where exactly do I go to change the operator displayed in my pfp and friend card? I've looked everywhere and cant find it

[left tulip]

You can disable ping on reply dw

[wraith sentinel]

The circular arrow icon underneath your username on the main home screen I think.

Something in the Assistant menu.

[weary wren]

That brings me to the menu where I can select a bunch of assistants for the home screen, but it doesn't appear to impact the one on my card unless I'm missing something

[nimble fractal]

what mistake? xd

[woven mica]

I pulled too early and missed some limited that were good, too good must i say

[wraith sentinel]

Click on "See selected outfit".

[proven kelp]

On the setting where to change your assistant

[weary wren]

!!!!

There is it it was the see selected outfit button thanks folks!

[wraith sentinel]

Yeah it took me a while to find at first too.

[lethal chasm]

What stage should I be farming while in an off week? I have so much sanity

[wraith sentinel]

Purchase Certificates (AP-5) are always good.

[ancient current]

when in doubt, 1-7

[obtuse obsidian]

make sure to do the anni of course in dead days

[plain hemlock]

1-7, red certs, chips for upcoming ops you want

[ancient current]

can prefarm chips too, or books if you've ran out

handful of things to spend sanity on

[shadow bay]

prefarm nasti?

[obtuse obsidian]

ya since you will get her off banner in wang

[ancient current]

that- no

[paper swan]

Worth getting Hoshi alter's mod3?

[paper swan]

Complete any main story or side story stages you haven't completed

[woven mica]

3 banner head ache
Should I skip kalter banner if monhun Collab happens?

[obtuse obsidian]

this is a meta channel so we cant form an advice if we dont know how good the collab op is

[plain hemlock]

You shouldn't skip it either way tbh

[obtuse obsidian]

collab do only cost 100 for new one so you probably can pull both but it all depends on your pull count and how meta monhon is

[flint onyx]

All the good shoperator should come to shop after wang banner, right? Basically considering starting building my nicheknights but also want to have all meta units built instantly as I grt them, so trying to plan my lmd

[proven kelp]

[ancient current]

probably

it is indeed not the right channel

you can e1 her now

[wraith shoal]

#salt-mines

[abstract blade]

Is there anyone else having trouble logging on to AK right now?

[nimble fractal]

e1? does it work like in other games where i pull her again?

[ancient current]

no no, elite 1. promotion level

you do not need dupes in this game

[proven kelp]

Ascension basically

[nimble fractal]

ahhh okay

[abstract blade]

Lol imagine not having a character until you pull them more than once

[odd sky]

give her more pay

[fierce jackal]

I told my newbie friend to pick blaze silverash saria or thorns from the beginner selector is that a good call or am I cooking them

[wraith shoal]

you're cooking them

[nimble fractal]

xd

[proven kelp]

Just tell them to check the beginner guide

[wraith shoal]

just send him here next time

[ancient current]

they'd rather go silverash, but they'd also rather pull till 1st 6* on beginner banner first. imagine they pick silverash and then pull him again on that banner

[fierce jackal]

@iron sigil

[fierce jackal]

Ohh yeahhh I forgot thanks

[iron sigil]

ohhh okay thank u sm that makes a lot of sense ^

[fierce jackal]

Newgen 🤓

[plain hemlock]

Remind me if leizi2 S2 goes through fences

[iron sigil]

💔 better late than never ig 😭

[wraith shoal]

you didnt help him much either

[quick jolt]

pretty sure it can i have like a vague memory of it happening on one stage

[fierce jackal]

I did help smh my account is stacked so my advice is worth smth trust she should pull for eunectes p6

[wraith shoal]

at least eunectes is meta somewhere

[obtuse obsidian]

ya i can add swift to my passenger in stronghold with her

[fierce jackal]

In ra? Really? I thought she was dogwater everywhere lmao

[proven kelp]

I remember using Leizi2 s2 on that one SSS stage that has fences and it pass through

[quick jolt]

yeah in RA shes good apparently

[iron sigil]

i dont understand but ill take yalls word for it 🥹

[wraith shoal]

Well RA is something too, and she's pretty nice there

[plain hemlock]

Thanks

[fierce jackal]

Newgen go play genshin impact 🤓

[wraith shoal]

do not pull for eunectes

[quick jolt]

do not take anybodys word when it comes to pulling eunectes

[ancient current]

keep comments relevant

[fierce jackal]

Eunectes isn’t a good meta picker i was joking squid, save for wang since he has good pull value

[iron sigil]

okok ill just do what u say lol i have no idea what the meta looks like in this game

[wraith shoal]

if you have any questions just ask here

[fierce jackal]

Meta looks like a cockroach and nukes the entire stage with s3
But don’t use her unless u wanna fry ur brain back in my day we didn’t have her

[iron sigil]

yesyes will do in the future ^^

[grand sand]

what does "promoted via combat" mean in this context

[quick jolt]

the battle in pathfinder, or lei fa purge coin

[faint lotus]

Don’t face off nodes count too now?

[quick jolt]

yeah i think so actually

[quick elm]

Hello can I get some tips on how to use summoners? I really want to use summoners but I can't seem to integrate them to my normal play complexity and all. (Will NOT use them to my main. Just no gacha account. It might be useful for my future clears)

[faint lotus]

Summoners don’t integrate well with normal play, they only really have use in nicheknights and low ops clears (except raidian in IS 6)

[plain hemlock]

Depends on the summoner, do you want to use someone in particular?

[quick elm]

Raidian yes.

[wraith shoal]

you can start by using her in IS6, her best gamemode, to learn how to use her well

[alpine lance]

assuming monster hunter colab 2 is real, how likely is Yato banner to rerun?

[faint lotus]

Has been confirmed

[alpine lance]

oh we can talk about that? Noice

[plain hemlock]

She's reasonably straightforward. Depending on what you need her to do, you usually use either S2 or S3. S2 for physical damage and a bit of block, S3 for ranged arts damage and debuff. S1 can be used too if you need little bricks.

[faint lotus]

It’s not a datamine so yes

[alpine lance]

wait they also confirmed yato rerun? I've been under a rock. Or it's just given, considering ash was reruned. thx, just checking

[strange cedar]

can anyone check what the achievements for the tft game mode is again? specifically the one thats like 50 stacks of swift and what else?

[fresh anvil]

that aint achievements tbh thats the missions lol

[strange cedar]

or whatever yea

[odd sky]

https://ak.hypergryph.com/news/2823

[quick elm]

I think I have a few ideas on how to use them in normal runs. Thanks for the tips gs 😄

[odd sky]

whale?

[odd sky]

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

[alpine lance]

I use it for expressing joy, didn't mean anything weird

[fresh anvil]

clear a simulation with 50 resilient, swift, agile or aid stacks

theres also the 20 version

[wispy peak]

which mon3tr is better at dealing true dmg?

[quick jolt]

the operator

[chilly apex]

what are the tragodia breackpoints again? m3 what lvl

[quick jolt]

lvl 88 mod lvl2, or lvl 82 mod lvl3

[chilly apex]

tyty

[fresh anvil]

some recommendations on how to do it:
resilient is easy but thats for aegir type gameplay (gravel specifically)

swift is sargon with passenger to get him stacking a ton more

agile is yan

not many have 50 aid stacks by the end of the game because of how difficult it is to have 3 aid operators for most of the game lol

anyways come to #stronghold-hall for such questions

[wispy peak]

is nasti better than stainless?

[alpine lance]

what is this comparison? Stainless does too many thing to do such comparisons. But bottom line is the +60% atk on the custom tile is permenant.

[quick jolt]

they do different things. but i guess overall nasti would be more useful

[wispy peak]

it looked like they had similar buffs, but it's hard to tell without putting it in practice

[alpine lance]

if we look at stainless S1 only:
He gives 96% atk around 30% of the time and 24% atk the other 70% of the time. On average that's 96*0.3 + 24*0.7 = 45.6% atk in the long run.

Nasti gives 60%, but only to ranged ops. She also makes a ranged tile for them. Overall, if we only compare it to stainless S1 for ranged ops, she is better.

[wispy peak]

he also has +6 aspd

anyways is this permanent after a single ranged enemy appears?

[wispy peak]

and where does it say +60% dmg?

[hidden nacelle]

whats the is6 gd15 casrtspecc standard start

[alpine lance]

For some reason I remembered it as 60%, but turns out it's 160%

[quick jolt]

probably exualt

[haughty zenith]

I couldn't find it in the pins but is there a best stage to farm stuff guide?

[wraith shoal]

/material in #bot-spam

[haughty zenith]

Thanks!

[scenic wharf]

was there a chart that calc'd various op dps' with defence on the x axis

[wraith shoal]

which op do you want

[mellow fossil]

whats the primary stack generation for each alliance?
kjerag - pramanix
aegir - eating high tier and killing specters
laterano - executors
sargon - passenger
yan - ?
victoria - ?

[wraith shoal]

#stronghold-hall

[scenic wharf]

a lot. I want to check like 10+, ifrit, lemon, exu, ch2n, skk, texas, yato2, more

[alpine lance]

ye, light does a bunch of custom calcs like that, but honestly it's not hard to setup if you got desmos

[wraith shoal]

it's a bot,you type it out yourself. I could do it if you had like one but 10? Do it yourself lol

[scenic wharf]

can you give me a link?

[coarse notch]

its in dragongjy's discord server

good for quick comparisons but it does get stuff wrong sometimes so just be cognizant of that

[quick jolt]

if you want 100% accuracy its best to do the math yourself

[shadow bay]

does sneggy want her module to work out?

i can see her base module help in the happenstance ull actually use her coz she kinda does want not to get hit or something... although how the upgrades though?

[hidden nacelle]

is pram even the caster pick in is

[scenic wharf]

its patriot p1 right

[lament loom]

Caster vouchers in IS feels so ass

[alpine lance]

casters are bad in IS, but if you gotta use one it's ususally lappy, pram is a good pick later on in IS6 if you have Gnosis.

[lament loom]

When u got like spec, supporter, sniper and probs guard vouchers

[hidden nacelle]

i know theyre bad so im like what are even the picks if i have to
its castspecc squad anywy

[alpine lance]

you go all in on spec lol

[hidden nacelle]

agree

[glossy schooner]

I mean, Pram is still pretty damn good in IS6 without Gnosis, but I don’t have max difficulty or have done ED3 or ED4, so I don’t think I have any room to talk

[lament loom]

Crazy how we got options for each class voucher. Exu2 spec, Tragodia / Haruka supporter, Wisadel sniper, uh Mylnar guard? Then idk about Logos / Lappy for caster. Defender is carried by Hoshi2.

[hidden nacelle]

unfortunately i cant choose my tickets smh

[hidden nacelle]

shu yu exist as well
and they fufill the chinese ops reqs (yes i know dlc made it easier )

[lament loom]

Ayoooo. Too bad I dont own Shu or Yu.

[hidden nacelle]

of course game gives me caster book on random relic for +780% arts

[alpine lance]

with gnosis her S1 procs freeze with a single use, gives you consistent crowd control. without him, you're stuck using her as a helidrop with S3 or some extra unit with 45 sp setup for a stage freeze effect.

[glossy schooner]

…oh, I uh, I kinda just use S2.

[lament loom]

[tepid barn]

In which IS are logos and lapp comparable to the same level and worse than the ops from other vouchers you mentioned?

[alpine lance]

I mean S2 is pretty damn good, but it doesn't do anything specific for any of the endings or the bosky. So not a core pick I'd say

[lament loom]

Wdym by that

[alpine lance]

there is no Is where caster are good

[tepid barn]

That logos is getting slandered by being compared as a pick with lappland

[lament loom]

Using caster in IS is just outclassed by every single other voucher options

[alpine lance]

lappy is good cause of the hand relic+global, nothing to do with logos

[tepid barn]

Haruka is also an interesting option to put above logos

[lament loom]

Logos was just 'best possible pick' in caster voucher but if its the best possible pick in general (all vouchers), bro fall off the cliff.

[tepid barn]

So im curious under what context this comes from or which IS specifically

[lament loom]

Cuz now u have Exu2 and Hoshi2 for reliable dmg and survival. Or Haruka for pretty broken sanctuary bubble heals. Wisadel is well, nuclear bomb.

Wisadel: press s3, turn off brain (tho s2 is sometimes used for hitcount reason)

Is6 waregeists for example

[tepid barn]

Does wisadel s3 deal more damage than s2?

[lament loom]

Is5 is wisadel's playground

[lament loom]

Is4 sami is covered by wisadel with her range and aoe dmg vs mob rush type and occasional flying mobs

Also yes wis s3 deals nuke dmg and her s2 is more of hitcount option

[worldly carbon]

s3 uses ammo which sucks for is when you have a shit ton of aspd

[lament loom]

That is also true

[errant summit]

Uh what should I pick top operator with

[wraith shoal]

debuff maybe?

[alpine lance]

We could go one by one.
IS2: enemies scales hard, relics are mostly debuffs, casters are nice, but you mostly want sustain and supporters for CC.
IS3: you got bad hope economy, so you focus on the pics that help with endings, and somehow that's weedy.
IS4: Casters are kinda fine here, but again, tragodia and Agelina are too busted to pass. you also need burst damage, and casters don't do that so you pass.
IS5: A lot of relics, strong scaling, DEF doesn't matter, so casters don't. Well... I say this, but caster hand is good, so they're still better off here.
IS6: Raidian playground, you just take hoshi2, and hitcount units. Logos is only good for hitount during skill, but pram is good.

[abstract mauve]

somehow for weedy in is3 is a crazy statment

[errant summit]

Any one?

[worldly carbon]

weedy is just 1 ending, no?

[glossy schooner]

The book of yeet, also Yes, Izumik(that’s how you spelt the jellyfish’s name right?)

[abstract mauve]

ed1 is easy enough that it's not considered. but she can hole the boss. ed2 im not as knowledgable on but that's solved with trag/nymph and friends. ed3 can be holed but it's scuffed. ed4 can be holed and it's a good solution

[alpine lance]

For ending 1 anyone is good, highmore is a joke

[worldly carbon]

izumik

[glossy schooner]

Damn it.

[worldly carbon]

it's mizuki scrambled

[quick jolt]

shes for pretty much all of them and then a couple other stages

[glossy schooner]

Oooh, heh, clever

[quick jolt]

weedy is also great in ed4 regardless of if you're putting izumik in the hole or not

for stalling jellyfish and/or acid cancel

[worldly carbon]

I dunno, I don't think I've ever done ed4

[glossy schooner]

Oh, got it, Haven’t touched IS3 that much so I wouldn’t know

[worldly carbon]

I don't even know how you get to ed4
I got ed3 by coincidence and it was stupidly easy

[wraith sentinel]

I like the Izumik fight, only one I managed on the first attempt too.

[worldly carbon]

what triggers ed4?

[quick jolt]

ed4 and ed3 are the same encounter. theres 2 relic choices, one gets you ed3 and the other gets you ed4

[wraith sentinel]

Picking Caerula Animus (I think?) Memory instead of Bishop's Research (which triggers third ending).

[alpine lance]

you talk to mizu and choose suffering.

[glossy schooner]

That’s the one that shoots your light to zero right? Animus?

[worldly carbon]

oh I see
thank you sore

[lament loom]

[wraith sentinel]

I mixed up the name, Caerula Memory is the one that does that yeah.

[lament loom]

All this talk is making me want to skill masteries Weedy

[rose mist]

Should I stick with Amiya guard S1 or S2? (Yes ik she isnt the best)

[alpine lance]

M9 her NOW!

[lament loom]

Is that recommended? Or only specific skills?

[alpine lance]

no, you ususally just want S2 and S3, mostly S3.

[worldly carbon]

actually pretty sure I used every skill she has in different situations...
I thought she'd be useless but she has some really neat niche uses

[lament loom]

Not sure how I wanna raise Weedy
Shes E2 already

[lament loom]

Oh I see ty

[worldly carbon]

ah yes the afk push enemies with a bit more style
thought you'd say only s3

[silent pendant]

i wouldn't recommend s2 because in 99% of cases you really only use her for s3

[worldly carbon]

s3 is the one thing you sorta bring weedy for

[alpine lance]

S2 is nice when you have sp and weight relics. It's also pretty consistent during shop rop, but ye 99% of the time it's S3

[silent pendant]

that's really niche lol

[alpine lance]

(don't tell anyone I use her S1 when I get stun duration extension)

[lament loom]

What about weedy mod? Does she need it

[clever birch]

What masteries for Thorns Alter?

[alpine lance]

yes, it's pretty good. You almost always want X for the SP

[worldly carbon]

I think s2 is nice if you have aspd cus otherwise I'd just use s1

[alpine lance]

S2 range is surprisingly nice placement wise. So even without aspd, it has its moments

[wide knot]

Should I mastery and mod thorns?

[abstract mauve]

logos first

[silent pendant]

get logos mod first
and pram

[wraith sentinel]

Pramanix Module probably a good idea too, yeah.

[wide knot]

Oh shoot I forgot to equip it haha but its still mod 1

Yeah but should I just wait for better units? Or just build thorns

[worldly carbon]

you're gonna ask now that he's e2 lv57?

[wide knot]

I mean I built thorns cuz he was good for early game, he hard carry me tbh

[wraith sentinel]

You do have Sakiko so Thorns probably isn't a large priority now.

[silent pendant]

in your team thorns kinda has the issue of Just Use Saki

so prioritize other units first

[wide knot]

Alright guess imma replace him with a better unit in the future

[worldly carbon]

consider replacing siege too
she's sort of a nothing burger

[alpine lance]

you still have siege and lappy and maybe Lumen (or not we'll see) to kick out of the team, so thorns is staying

[wide knot]

Shes Just there for a helidrop gaha

[wide knot]

Lumen is staying unless I have a better healer that is a 6 stad

[wide knot]

Same goes for lappy shes just helidrop

[silent pendant]

lumen will be fine for now till you get better healers

[alpine lance]

how is lappy a helidrop? How does that work?

[wide knot]

SA2

Just for the freeze

[worldly carbon]

you can sorta get 2 very good healers for free
like silence

[wide knot]

Like I said I only want 6 star healers. I wanna rock an all 6 star team in the future

[proven kelp]

Why not just use Gravel or something if you just want the freeze?

[alpine lance]

let me guess, she's not a 6*

[worldly carbon]

he wants all 6star I guess
he prob replacing it with phantom someday

[wide knot]

That is because I got siege early and I did not know ow she was bad haha

[proven kelp]

Lappland is not a 6* either tho

[wide knot]

Got her when I was still like level 10 or something

[worldly carbon]

I don't think he has much going on

[proven kelp]

What does Siege have to do with anything?

[wide knot]

Yeah but I got those insta e2 things and instant mastery from event

[worldly carbon]

it's alright fae, atleast it's not a m*le

[wide knot]

Like I said I built her because I needed an early game staller cuz I thought at the time 6 stars were better

And when I finally got gravel I already built siege to a good level so why should I build gravel when I already have siege

[proven kelp]

Because they do different things?

If you care about the Freeze from SA2, Gravel is better cuz she has 18 sec redeployment time over Lappland or Siege's 70

[glossy schooner]

Guess you’re waiting till you get spooked by Mon3tr then

[glossy schooner]

Yeah!

[alpine lance]

different redeployment time, gravel costs nothing and comes back every 16s

[wide knot]

Oh but I only ever use the freeze in case something goes wrong like a leak or something which rarely happens cuz pharaminx is busted asf

[harsh marsh]

I've already seen it, but thank you nonetheless

[wide knot]

Truth be told I only use a minimum of 5 ops.
Logos, pharaminx, sklater, sakiko, and sa2

The rest is just there in case I need to relieve pressure by freezing

[glossy schooner]

Then you Really should have a fast redeploy for that

[wide knot]

Yeah but it rarely happens and whn it does I dont need to do it all the time just once is wnough

[wide knot]

Also Im waiting for phantom

[sonic crown]

Help,i need to beat 0-1 with high end Roster

https://youtu.be/Ne15CbyQrCU?si=lKMQmdpzZpXHP1iH

[sonic crown]

Thanks!

[fresh anvil]

[knotty basin]

just built Archetto for IS, what skill should I M3?

[static glade]

Which one holds more value ranked? Logos, Ascalon and Monst3r

[proven kelp]

I value Mon3tr the most since she buffs Saki
Ascalon 2nd, tho i don't use her as much nowadays
I don't value the other one

[static glade]

Oh ok is it because he's male

[wraith sentinel]

Personally I like Mon3tr too, the ASPD buff is just very nice especially with how many allies it can hit.

Attack buff is simple too.

[sonic crown]

Okay what is the OPS that could Decreased the cost of Operator?

[wraith sentinel]

Strategist Vanguards mostly.

Matsukiri and SilverAsh the Reignfrost currently, though there are some other operators that have more limited DP reduction abilities like Muelsyse or Saileach.

[sonic crown]

Oh rigth

[alpine lance]

fang has DP reduction?

[formal shadow]

fangalter

[wraith sentinel]

Yeah, on the next Operator deployed -1 cost (after she retreats).

[formal shadow]

based talent

[alpine lance]

ye that's pretty nice, should have been -2, but can't expect much

[static glade]

Does she have a mod yet

[wraith sentinel]

Oh, Module increases the reduction to -2, forgot to check that.

[static glade]

sounds good wow

[alpine lance]

We also get negative DP soon, which is effectively a DP reduction if you think about it.

[wraith sentinel]

And if you run S2 you won't have to deal (as much) with the reduced regen, yeah.

[fierce bane]

Got these 2 today are they worth investing

[formal shadow]

🥀

[wraith sentinel]

Neither especially.

[fierce bane]

Ok

[static glade]

No don't, better units than these

[fierce bane]

Gotcha thanks

[pale tapir]

how does negative dp work? I don't understand what it means by mimimum dp limit reduced

[obtuse obsidian]

You go -1

[inland swallow]

DP debt

[broken flame]

Gambling wasn't enough, now we have debt too

[inland swallow]

[silent pendant]

you can just go into debt to get ops out earlier

[alpine lance]

0 is just a number; it's our reference. This doesn't affect DP gen, it just changes the ref. Practically, it's like Texas giving you 2 extra DP, but better cause when you cap it at 99, you actually have more than 99 (bigger DP storage if you will).

[wanton meadow]

If you think about it, it's kinda like having x extra starting dp

[inland swallow]

true… from -3 or -4 to 99

also DP refund too for ops!

while sash2 s2 makes ur ops cheaper

[alpine lance]

wait, -4 is locked under pots? Well, she's standard, so it's probably fine

[inland swallow]

ig so

[obtuse obsidian]

Its also worse cause it dont put you 2 dp closer to 99 dp relics :clueful:

[inland swallow]

dp debt, almost half dp refund, so noice for ur dp economy to have great start

[obtuse obsidian]

If you think about it its not really any diff then a random - 1 dp pot that all ops have

[abstract mauve]

isnt -4 from mod

[alpine lance]

-1 pot on anyone is pretty good, actually, compared to this specific op. I mean, Texas has been a pot simulator since the dawn of the game

[obtuse obsidian]

Are we overrating this talent like we did with texas already?

[abstract mauve]

if you think about it long enough it's the same as +4 initial sp but only to herself which is basically sash2 talent but dogshit

[obtuse obsidian]

Its module seem to increase it twice? So i guess 6dp

[fresh anvil]

[abstract mauve]

it's a bad talent all things considered but it is nice for pot sim

[obtuse obsidian]

Texas pot sim got power crept no way

[abstract mauve]

it only took them this many years

[obtuse obsidian]

They made sure The 3 poor peoples who use texas pot sim pull for this one

[abstract mauve]

the final niche from the old vanguards finally beaten 🥀

[inland swallow]

It is our Closure afterall

[alpine lance]

There is this LS-4 low op clear I wanna try that wants you to start with max pot exu and Necrass, and I'm too poor for that, so yeah, I am going to overvalue her for enabling stupid things.

[urban geyser]

Can I get some help with 15-20?

[ancient lintel]

Ulpi gladiia mon3tr

Show us what we're working with first tho

[obtuse obsidian]

Use your dps on small guy and one big hitters on big guy

More advanced help for a map in #strategy

I don't have Mr. Bloodborne built yet sadly

[pale tapir]

ohh gotcha thanks

[ancient lintel]

Credit card type shi
Spend first pay up later

[pale tapir]

that is so closure tho

[grim forum]

what do you get on gaining >100% trust?

[ancient lintel]

Technically all u need is a mon3tr though

[silver smelt]

Nothing, but trust is halved when someone borrows your op

[obtuse obsidian]

Trust is halfed for friend so you become slightly better friend

And get some extra lore

[ancient lintel]

Like use mon3tr for the source code and everything else for the mimic

[urban geyser]

I'd prefer him maxed lol

[grim forum]

I see

[obtuse obsidian]

Hows nasti crystal stage

[broken flame]

Who got the longest tail again from Sui? Was it Yi? Wang fattest and Yi longest or was it a diff sibling? This is a very important question

[silver smelt]

not this channel

[chrome prawn]

Do you get is battlepass exp after doing deep exploration?

[silver smelt]

no

[urban geyser]

I've been trying a few setups

[pale tapir]

rope texas theresa ain't doing much for u

[broken flame]

Rope E2

[urban geyser]

I like Rope :(

[rocky pilot]

Uh huh

[ancient lintel]

Who invited rope 🥀
When u can use gladiia lol

[obtuse obsidian]

You need to have an idea of who hit The big boss and who hit The small one

Monster and ulpain s3 are good for big one so the rest go for small

Just make sure you dont have lapp dumb s3 hit The big boss that will be insta recovery
