help

[abstract mauve]

there's a chance we get pause deploy but no PC client since they just copy the patches from hypergryph

[quick jolt]

wdym bind the physical button

[wraith sentinel]

Why should I buy another device.

[nimble kite]

Like instead of Volume Down it will instead press Back

[quick jolt]

oh, i see
ive heard of that before, but it never seemed to work by scrolling up the bottom of my phone to press it

[ornate sable]

Steam deck is just more advance gaming phones with button imo

[hardy bronze]

Ooooo
I see🗿

[wraith sentinel]

Except it isn't a phone.

[ornate sable]

adding buttons to smartphone rn would make them into a steam deck

[hardy bronze]

UR8 boss at challenge/extra or normal stage?

[quick jolt]

second best case scenario tbh. best being we get pc client and worst being we get nothing

[wraith sentinel]

Last EX stage I believe.

[ornate sable]

Ex stage final boss, not opened just yet

[wraith sentinel]

(You do know that the home bar on phones used to be physical buttons, right?)

[ornate sable]

I know. they remove those to make the screen bigger

[indigo spoke]

i js reach level 102 is there any tool that calculate when should i reach 120 if i play daily and have month pass?

[rain forge]

what

[ancient current]

don't recall any existing tool to calculate that

[rain forge]

oh as in a exp calculator

[indigo spoke]

like a calculator when i reach 120

[rain forge]

I don’t think that exists

[ancient current]

why do you need this?

[indigo spoke]

js wonder

[ancient current]

nah don't think so

[ornate sable]

have anyone count Doctor's exp?? We just suddenly level up one day without notice

[ancient current]

there are counts i think but i don't have them

[ivory terrace]

is tied to sanity no?

[rain forge]

It is

[ancient current]

think it is yeah

[indigo spoke]

well we didnt count doesnt mean no one count it

i ask in case any one does

[ornate sable]

Has there been an account with 240 max sanity???

[wraith sentinel]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/EXP

[echo oasis]

She worth putting in my team?

[indigo spoke]

its much easier now, thanks

[rain forge]

usually no but what’s your team rn

[echo oasis]

Mistakenly pulled her

[wraith sentinel]

The current max in CN is 210 Sanity. Global is still at 180.

[echo oasis]

I'm in chapter 5 rn btw, so don't flame me about mods

[rain forge]

nah keep her unlevelled

[wraith sentinel]

Don't need her then, yeah.

[ornate sable]

swap Ptilopsis if you doesn't need that much heal

[indigo spoke]

everyong out dmg her

[rain forge]

e2 your surtr and pramalt

[rain forge]

Irene is just generally a shit™ unit, she’s not worth using

[echo oasis]

ye I need sum e2 mats for Pram2, waiting for an event to pop that up

[wraith sentinel]

Ptilopsis probably better to keep over Silence.

Either way two is fine.

[opaque remnant]

Hoshi2 mod is an easy grab, would do it

[ornate sable]

It is expensive

[daring helm]

Irene is basically just there for funny IS shenanigans with specific relics, not worth raising most of the time

[ornate sable]

if he were to put Irene there, I'm just giving suggestion. Personally, saving those mats is my prio rn

[indigo spoke]

from level 1 to level 99 is almost equal from level 100 to 120 is crazy

[rain forge]

not even her IS mod saves her

[ornate sable]

That -1 weight doesn't save anybody

[grim forum]

ascalon good or no

[rain forge]

And yet Angelina’s IS mod is decent

It’s not about the weight it’s about everything else

[daring helm]

There's a reason I just called it funny shenanigans instead of actually good

[ornate sable]

That is true. Which makes it more bleak to hear

[daring helm]

Does CN have more units in kernel jail, and if so, who's the next 6* cutoff point of them?

[rain forge]

Carnelian is next, after that I forgor

[left tulip]

i remember gg and greyalt

[ornate sable]

Grey has an alter too. What's up with that? they good?

[left tulip]

for is yeas afaik

[rain forge]

good for is5 sniper medic

[ancient current]

greyy alt is a decent unit outside of IS, good in IS

[ornate sable]

a what medic???

[daring helm]

Mostly good for IS, especially in IS5 because of how easy it is to get flinger hand, but not great for most other content

[ancient current]

the squad, not the unit

[ornate sable]

I see

[ancient current]

the one that buffs sniper and medic vouchers

[coarse notch]

not just good for sniper medic btw, good for every squad

[agile falcon]

Hello people! I recently just came back to Arknights. Can somebody please explain to me how to finish this quest?

[ornate sable]

I wonder what 6* I miss in Kernel Jail

[rain forge]

tldr play is6 (sui’s garden of grotesqueries)

The welfare there (raidian) can only be levelled and promoted by playing IS6

[forest hamlet]

just done with tragodia and ascalon, which character should i upgrade next

[agile falcon]

Ty for the info

[rain forge]

From here nobody else

[wraith sentinel]

Mizuki if doing IS isn't too bad though.

[nimble kite]

At most, Mizuki
would shill Gladiia for Ulpipi making tank

[rain forge]

Considering the roster I wouldn’t raise the big ‘zuk yet

[ancient current]

bah saria isn't a bad raise

[ornate sable]

The memes

[worthy roost]

umm, hello, is there any guide for making a CN account?

[spare jetty]

#cn-lounge
plus it involves using your irl credentials

[worthy roost]

no biggie, thank u

[opaque remnant]

Sort by rarity

[hidden wolf]

How many pulls do you get from coming back?

[agile falcon]

Is Ines worth raising?

[hidden wolf]

Mod them

Mod them then wait

[indigo spoke]

if there is an excel sheet for calculate player exp do you guys think is it nessesary to do full from level 1 to 120 or 100 to 120 is enough

[agile falcon]

I didn't really count…from the quest alone? Like 4? Along with kernel tickets

[abstract mauve]

one of the strongest vanguards. formerly the strongest vanguard

[agile falcon]

I didn't really keep up with the game that much. But surely it's Ascalon. People keeps talking about her

[opaque remnant]

Aren’t we still in the perspective sash2 and Ines are sidegrades

[formal shadow]

Closure best vg fr

[opaque remnant]

Depends how far their damage on S3 takes them

[agile falcon]

It's Fang. Fang is the best

[haughty obsidian]

difference between ariel and low-altitude hover?

[formal shadow]

Fang mention

[wintry steppe]

What does this thing do?

[indigo spoke]

Ascalon is good but she is not a vg

[formal shadow]

Low altitude hover can be stunned out of it

[opaque remnant]

Additional story

[abstract mauve]

im of the opinion that sash2 and closure are the best vanguards and ines is 1 tier below. either way she's no longer the de facto strongest vanguard. she'd still be one of the 3 strongest vanguards

[agile falcon]

Oh, silly me

[opaque remnant]

Closure?

[abstract mauve]

tactician vanguard releasing with kal2 yeah

[opaque remnant]

So are we done evaluating closures worth

[formal shadow]

Yeah she's strong

[abstract mauve]

i dont know about we. this is my view at least

[glass mural]

Instructions unclear, starting another YouTube comments war.

[agile falcon]

I also got this silly looking supporter

[opaque remnant]

I need a shared perspective on why closure is strong

[wintry steppe]

Vigil as support?

[opaque remnant]

Mag is ehhh, not really useful

[agile falcon]

The one below

[severe crypt]

Also don’t build lumen further

[agile falcon]

Vigil looks so cool, he belongs in the office looking for clues

[opaque remnant]

I do want to understand the reason why sash2 and closure are considered as equals now, I’d like some elaboration at the very least

[formal shadow]

E0 vigil is scam

[abstract mauve]

closure has 2 good skills. s2 gives a huge amount of dp and dp reduction. s3 has good range, good damage especially for a vanguard, it can slow enemies and their attacks/abilities, and it's multi target

[forest hamlet]

not sure if the other peeps is useful for me to raise

[abstract mauve]

s3 also scales really well with buffs

[opaque remnant]

So S2 isn’t mostly just a meme?

[opaque remnant]

Zuo le raise, he’s probably your other best option

[abstract mauve]

no. it's genuinely a good vanguard skill for DP. the discussion around on the global side is genuinely braindead

[agile falcon]

This is everything I acquired after a week of playing. Asking the pros here to help me improve if there is something I must look out for

[balmy panther]

closure can print a billion DP if you use her correctly
she also has very good dps
also really buffs your units survivality

ofc she doesnt have the hyper scalability of ines dp generation
but thats an IS exclusive case

[forest hamlet]

alright then

[formal shadow]

Another case of role compression vg. Just how we like them

[frail nymph]

build ur ines

[opaque remnant]

To be a good vanguard, simply steal all utility from other vanguard

[abstract mauve]

i wrote this elsewhere before but:

you wait 6 seconds and then you start her skill and it lasts for 30. so in 36 seconds you get 25 DP from her generating it by herself plus a possible dp reduction of up to (25+36)0.4 = 24.4 dp or even more if you had more dp when deploying closure
25dp with 24.4 dp reduction in 36 seconds. the caveat is the 24.4 dp reduction only applies to units deployed in her summon's range

[agile falcon]

Don’t mind the e1 ceobe. I was experimenting something 💔

[abstract mauve]

25dp + up to or even more than 24.4 dp reduction just on her own

[formal shadow]

That dp reduction is crazy

[agile falcon]

I currently have Texas and Mrytle on the team. I suppose I should replace Texas right?

[severe crypt]

Ines can run solo

[strange cedar]

these dont encompass like other debuffs like tragodia's paralyze right

[agile falcon]

I’d appreciate a to-do-list lmao

[rustic pecan]

Can i swap out haruka with efyjalla alter?

[wraith shoal]

haruka has more healing

[rustic pecan]

So haruka is better?

[wraith shoal]

well it says when stunned,frozen or bound

[wraith shoal]

for heals yes. If you need to heal elemental injury for some reason then eyja is better

[strange cedar]

wait yea but sometimes descriptions arent clear/all encompassing so i was dbl checking if it was like "oh it means all forms of cc those were the only 3 on item release" etc

[opaque remnant]

Only use eyja alt for elem damage stages

[rustic pecan]

Great to hear then! Thanks

[indigo lark]

Which one for her?

[ancient current]

s1

s2 is never used

[indigo lark]

Ok. Hmmm I'm trying to understand if e2ing her was worth it

[ancient current]

depending on your roster, it mostly wasn't

[indigo lark]

Lol

[ancient current]

e2 is only for s1m3

hope you didn't get her module

[indigo lark]

No I didn't. One look at it told me everything I needed to know

[spare jetty]

she can stay at e1 lv1

[indigo lark]

Trying to e2 him next

Done. Which skill for him to focus on?

[spare jetty]

3...

[indigo lark]

Alright

[strange cedar]

what event were these guys from again

[wraith shoal]

some main story chapter iirc

[strange cedar]

ohh

[wraith shoal]

it was chapter 12

[spare jetty]

ch12 civvies

[bleak gazelle]

So... I got Nasti, I looked at her module and I really don't get what the description's trying to say. "Devices can provide effects simultaneously with other Devices in its range."

Does that mean they interact with other ops' devices?

[rain forge]

No it lets her devices line up like a conga line

[pine plover]

chaining

[balmy panther]

more like ch12 amogus

[bleak gazelle]

Oooooh

That's still neat

[indigo lark]

Help. My defenders are looking kind of homeless. Is there anyone here that's worth to raise?

[wraith sentinel]

Are there enemies that interact with Incursion Points in some form other than the foxes in When Elegies Are Ashes?

[ancient current]

the foxes were in necrass event?

[wraith sentinel]

Her event had all the fae-adjacent enemies, yeah.

[ancient current]

homeless indeed
too bad you don't have cuora. you can e1 bubble she's similar

[urban sleet]

No cuora yet?

[opaque remnant]

Bubble maybe, it’s unfortunate there’s no cuora

[lavish forum]

whats the best squad to use with lamp?

[wraith shoal]

if you want to just get the rewards then blueprint

[nocturne laurel]

Blueprint squad

[urban sleet]

Blueprint wisadel if you just want to farm mats/dont care about operator bans

[lavish forum]

im trying d18 ed5

[frail nymph]

with five lvl 3 factories and two (lvl 3 and lvl 2) trading posts,
how many factories should be producing battle records and gold?

[unkempt pollen]

what month does cny usually take place in again? august?

[wraith shoal]

2 exp 2 gold and one flexible for whatever you need

[unkempt pollen]

i feel like it used to be september or im just hallucinating

[ancient current]

all the IS nerds are in #is-station
hardly any reside here, though that channel isn't a help channel you'll have a solid chance at getting a decent answer there
there are also resources in that channel's pins

[nocturne laurel]

Mid july was last year

[native cargo]

is it worth to e2 cuora if i alr have saria as defender

[abstract mauve]

showcase compared to a flagbearer. the biggest difference comes right after you use the skill where with closure in the video she had 2 more units at some point than wanqing did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59lyy7dmui0

[lavish forum]

alright thanks

[nocturne laurel]

Not reallyif u have saria maxed already but for IS ig

[hexed adder]

Mid to end July, Shu was 1st August for few Timezones

[unkempt pollen]

wtf mid july i swear that’s unusual

[nocturne laurel]

Yostar pushing it forward a little yea

[indigo spoke]

js made this tell me if anyone need

[unkempt pollen]

no wonder i felt like my gut was lying to me, makes sense now

[indigo lark]

Yep. The gacha gods didn't bless me. Luckily got myrtle on the last free single pull on the SA banner

[quick jolt]

pre much every limited event since iirc lappalt or yu has been pushed forward ~2 weeks compared to previous years

obv excluding our anni since they always try to get as close to jan 16 as possible

[wraith shoal]

When was it this year

[unkempt pollen]

iirc someone said it was just rescheduling rather than push forwards but i dont keep good enough track of event order to know

[quick jolt]

jan 16

[tepid abyss]

what are you talking now？

[indigo lark]

When's the next patch I should pull? New player here, rerolled on sakiko and pulled SA alter, got both him and paraminx and that's all.

[unkempt pollen]

i just remember is5 release being a mess

[quick jolt]

schedule was the same afaik

[ancient current]

wang, in around 2 months

[hexed adder]

It was reschedule 1 event at most

[coarse notch]

bp works fine for this

its not great but it works
its just absolutely cooked by ed4

[unkempt pollen]

prob just outdated info then, thanks guys

[indigo lark]

Oho. So should I lock in bubble then? Cuz I won't be getting cuora atlease in 2 months minimum.

[hexed adder]

Its quite consistent if dont count Nian

[tepid abyss]

wang is coming soon I hope you get enough pulls

[wraith shoal]

How does bp get countered by ed4

[coarse notch]

your hope gain gets screwed

bp is also soft countered by d16's plan cost increase but its still playable

[wraith shoal]

only if you reroll like every node. If you're smart you can get away with using it

[nimble kite]

I still cleared Quilon D18 with BP.

[ancient lintel]

what's gnosis's main skill in IS again?

[coarse notch]

??? the hope gain penalty is due to -50% exp

[nimble kite]

S2

[indigo lark]

I have like 200 saved up since I got SA and paraminx alter in like 50 pulls

[wraith shoal]

then every squad has a problem and not just bp

[coarse notch]

you can get away with it sure but its just not good

[quick jolt]

inconsistent doesnt equal impossible

[coarse notch]

bro, class squads hello?

[ancient lintel]

class squad -2 hope in the corner

[coarse notch]

theres a reason why the anchor player always plays vgg or ingots

[wraith shoal]

bruh I never play those,forgot they even existed

[ancient lintel]

ingots goated XD

[coarse notch]

they're the most consistent d18 squad by far

[gaunt vapor]

yall pulling for nasti? she looks real nice for later banner combo but otherwise she barely in the main team.

[nimble kite]

lemme flex that while I still cannot D18 Izumik by any means

[wraith shoal]

I'm at d15 only so no rush for now

[gaunt vapor]

i am doing 500 for wang banner to get team of 4 sui

[quick jolt]

no weedy?

[coarse notch]

good class squad players have 85%+ wr doing d18 245
the best ingots players only hover around 70% but they can go for t3 more consistently

[nimble kite]

Yes Weedy, and last try was with her and Ange S3.

No skill.
Only skill issues.

[quick jolt]

my wr like 15% so i am top tier i think

[coarse notch]

mine is similarly low so same

[zenith willow]

is it possible for me to somehow clear stronghold protocol in a single day? (honestly i should stop my habit of clearing events on the last day, never ended well)

[wraith shoal]

if you play enough

[quick jolt]

yes but itll take the entire day

[nimble kite]

Yes, but you need to play endlessly whole day. Preferably with winning.

[zenith willow]

hmmm... well i do have about like, 35 hours or so, could be doable

[ancient current]

cuora is in recruitment so whenever you don’t have 4* tags you can select like defender/defense/melee and pray she spooks you

but for now you can e1 bubble. she has about the same performance, if not slightly worse but she'll be enough

[tepid abyss]

By the way, is your collaboration gacha pool planning the same as ours?

[ancient current]

wdym

[quick jolt]

planning?

[brazen gulch]

Does Kal's summon's attack scale off of her own or is it a separate "slider"

[rain forge]

[nimble kite]

From MonSummon stats.

[brazen gulch]

Um sorry?

[abstract mauve]

the summon has its own stats

[brazen gulch]

ah alright, thanks

[nimble kite]

I still don't might get your question right either.

[brazen gulch]

yeah sorry could've phrased it more precisely

[tepid abyss]

If the Chinese server launches a collaboration event, will you follow the normal plan or will you also launch a collaboration event?

[nocturne laurel]

Normal plan for banners

[nimble kite]

Ummmm, it's dependant

[quick jolt]

some of them we get, some we dont get

[nimble kite]

Like the Space Amiya skin which is collaboration with Chinese NASA and we still get nothing from it.

[quick jolt]

if they have a banner, we will get them

[tepid abyss]

What about National Geographic and others?

[nimble kite]

It happened but with 6 months delay like usual.

[gaunt vapor]

we getting weedy in yellow cert or something?

[near forge]

Hello

I do lot of changes but idk if it is fine now

[wraith shoal]

if yostars wants

[nimble kite]

In Kernel. When - read Channel Rule 5 and forget about exact dates here.

[nimble kite]

Looks fine.

[wraith shoal]

get mlynar and hoshi2 mods

[near forge]

I don't have her

[wraith shoal]

you sure about that

[quick jolt]

we get most of them, but didnt get the space collab with the amiya skin

[near forge]

Hoshiguma haha

[tepid abyss]

OK

[near forge]

Sorry lol

[nocturne laurel]

(We also didnt get kfc exu skin)

[wraith shoal]

we did

[ancient current]

we didn't get the KFC collab either and got it later as a cheap rebrand from Rhodes

[tepid abyss]

the name is EN is so long

[nimble kite]

We get it... kinda.

[hexed adder]

Rare chalter modX 👀

[quick jolt]

we got the skin, just unrelated to the collab

[ancient current]

"Rhode's Kitchen"

[stone escarp]

between wisadel s1m3, lemuen s1m3 and narantuya s2m3 which one do you guys think benefits more from chetto IS mod?

[nimble kite]

Would pick Wis.

[nocturne laurel]

I think wis s2 is much better than s1 even with chetto

[nimble kite]

Is Naratunya S2 - OffRec?

[stone escarp]

yea, wis s2 is not

[wraith sentinel]

(I'm biased towards Lemuen S1, but probably isn't the best option.)

[nimble kite]

Oh nice

[native cargo]

where can i get some of this if i dont hve sanity rn to grind for its stage

[wraith sentinel]

Did you check the event shop?

[ancient current]

that was a login event, she got a rerun once then never again

[nimble kite]

Lemon S1 kinda meh when you don't do AFK clears.

[near forge]

It was a mistake of me Not take the second dupe of Mlynar

[tepid abyss]

OK

[native cargo]

oh damn

[wraith sentinel]

It is yeah, I only M3ed it for IS2.

[wraith shoal]

what collab was that

[native cargo]

i wasted the orange currency 💔

[wraith shoal]

dupes are kinda useless though

[ancient current]

that chinese uhhh studio? or myth, I forgot

check the wiki

[near forge]

Idk but Mlynar is just a good boss killer

[wraith shoal]

he doesnt need dupes to be a good boss killer, yours is fine as is,just get his mod to lvl3 and you're golden

[lavish forum]

is this worth picking up

[native cargo]

is it true leizi stronger than mlynar

[urban sleet]

Sidegrades

[quick jolt]

no, and mlynar isnt always stronger than leizi either

[tepid abyss]

they are similarly

[wraith shoal]

yeah it was from some animation made by a chinese film studio

[tepid abyss]

but leizi can fly

[nocturne laurel]

If youre really want to guarantee a win, but prolly not since its only for one run

[tepid abyss]

By the way, the next Titi event has a lot of strange mechanics, so you'll need to bring more healers.

[near forge]

Sorry just wanna ask, Should I did it? gonna take a lot time for me

[quick jolt]

yes, lvl3

[wraith shoal]

yes it's a really good mod

[tepid abyss]

i agree

[near forge]

So, is this really necessary? Because honestly, when I took it out, it did seem unnecessary to me

[tepid abyss]

For example, monsters with 100% evasion forever

[quick jolt]

its not like she wont be useable without it. but its very very good

[wraith sentinel]

Nothing is necessary.

But it's extremely good.

[tepid abyss]

yes

[near forge]

Okay, so that means a lot of grinding is coming up. But is the team okay as is, or should I swap out a character?

[wraith shoal]

we dont know who else you have

[quick jolt]

it looks fine to me, maybe you can switch out myrtle though

[left tulip]

Does titi count

[quick jolt]

backread

[daring helm]

multiple percent def shreds are multiplicative right? (i.e. two 50% def shreds equals 75%)

[near forge]

I created the account in 2025, so everything dates from then onwards

[wraith sentinel]

Not sure if Ch'en the Holungday is worth it (?), but otherwise should be fine.

[indigo lark]

Yeah, you think I haven't been doing that? I've been searching myrtle and her on every single recruitment.

[indigo lark]

Alrighty

[near forge]

Well, Time to farm, Thanks yall

[ancient current]

I didn't say it was easy

[toxic nebula]

Eta of Wang banner?

[indigo lark]

It's more like impossible lmao

[quick jolt]

how would he know what you were doing or not

[wraith shoal]

in 2 months

[ancient current]

about 2 months

[tepid abyss]

Titi isn't very useful in her own gameplay because she only generates healing when there are enemies present.

[indigo lark]

True. But ye, ever since I started the game on sakiko patch, I've been doing that on every recruitment, aside from the guaranteed 5/6 star tags

[tepid abyss]

you have enough time to get pulls but we will face MH in six

[tepid barn]

On enemies yeah, on your operators id assume its additive, at least HP is

[quick jolt]

yeah it really fucking sucks lmao. luckily they are units you CAN live without

[wraith shoal]

monhun for us is in like 7 months so we have time

[indigo lark]

My solo defender gummy weighing the entire world on her shoulders xD I just e2'd her today. She deserves it

[tepid abyss]

I wonder which one, Popuka or Zilan, will be a six-star.

[ancient current]

technically there are only 5 units you can't live without

[quick jolt]

lowkey she is fine as your only defender

[indigo lark]

Oh?

[wraith shoal]

isnt it between orchid and catapult?

[spare jetty]

also consider spot

[nocturne laurel]

Orchid is zilan yes but popuka?

[tepid abyss]

Typo

[ancient current]

how do you typo zilan from orchid

[tepid abyss]

popuka has skin

[wraith shoal]

zilan? Is it the chinese translation?

[quick jolt]

hes cn and uses google translate

[indigo lark]

He's good? I mean gummy works as medic defender, I need more solid tanky defender, sadly no cuora so I'll have to invest in bubble.

[ancient current]

oh that's her cn name

[tepid abyss]

梓兰

[daring helm]

spot is basically a mandatory raise for IS2, 3 (until you get +1 hope cost on all units lol), and 4, but is serviceable in other content too

[spare jetty]

he isn't that tanky but still useable on d15 of is4

[ancient current]

not mandatory but good raise

[indigo lark]

What's hope?... Sorry never ran IS before.

[ancient current]

might want to

[indigo lark]

Time limited?

[quick jolt]

its the currency you use to recruit and promote operators (you start with only 3)

[ancient current]

no

[spare jetty]

rechord pls help rhis poor soul

[ancient current]

but 1 million+ lmd in each theme

and more

[nocturne laurel]

Just try it out once

[indigo lark]

Oo

[quick jolt]

IS is a permanent gamemode but its honestly quite fun and at lower difficulties you dont need a large roster for it. you can also just borrow a meta 6star at the start

[spare jetty]

disclaimer
pls dont ask sb to handhold you as u wont learn much

[wraith sentinel]

Disclaimer that at first you will die. A lot. Takes a bit of trial and error to get used to the stages.

[ancient current]

just try it

[tepid abyss]

It has a lot of resources for character development, but it takes a long time to farm for them.

[daring helm]

yeah just start playing IS and get a ton of rewards without using sanity. plus it's the best mode in the game tbh

[woven mica]

https://www.krooster.com/u/ryuken

Can anyone tell me who should I prioritize Right now

[quick jolt]

you're supposed to lose constantly when you're new to it btw so dont get discouraged by that

[daring helm]

notably, you still get rewards if you lose. you could theoretically get all of the point ladder rewards having never beaten a single run lol.

[inland swallow]

is s1m3 gladiia worth it? the weight she can pull becomes large

[indigo lark]

Time for another roguelike slop in another gacha game :)

[spare jetty]

wheres your rope

[tepid abyss]

I think push-pull mechanisms have relatively few applications.

[daring helm]

this one is not slop actually, despite basically every other gacha roguelite mode being such. i consider it the best roguelite ever made. not roguelite MODE, but roguelite period -- i'm even comparing it to commercial releases like slay the spire, risk of rain, etc

[quick jolt]

IS is not slop 🤬
its also the OG gacha roguelike. like, literally the first gacha to do it, ever

[inland swallow]

didnt know she can pull large 👀 hehe thx for the info

[inland swallow]

yeah, ig it is a luxury upgrade

[indigo lark]

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll check it out when I'm free. Currently a tad bit occupied. Oh and this new tft type game mode that came out. It's also about to expire. Rip. I only ran once... It's long, takes 30 mins

[nocturne laurel]

Early annis and story and their love for pushing and pulling

[spare jetty]

this rougelike is better than others roguelikes in gacha games pls understand

[daring helm]

well if you do get some spare time today, try to get as many of those rewards as you can since they're going away

[indigo lark]

Haha I know that AK was the first one that actually popularized roguelite in gacha games.

[woven mica]

Anyone?

[indigo lark]

Ik ik. No need to get so serious lol.

[quick jolt]

yomi is never serious dw

[safe tundra]

erm thats not yomi

[gloomy sundial]

Sakiko s3m3 mod3, lemuen s3m3 mod2

[spare jetty]

bigger yomi dissapeared

[quick jolt]

i dont know yomi so i call mini yomi yomi

[safe tundra]

wtf

[indigo lark]

What's the best synergy to run on it?

[woven mica]

Lemuen is not possible for getting her mod and her skill is in progress for m3 and someone said saki mod2 is enough

[quick jolt]

i think laterano is technically the strongest

[daring helm]

i suck at the mode tbh, and didn't care to really learn it too much since it's not permanent, but usually the plan is stack Yan in my experience. if Yan is banned go with Kjerag or Laterano

[indigo lark]

Just don't wanna think too much and just run it on auto pilot on the background while I finish my work

[zealous mortar]

im wondering if these guys are any good lol

[quick jolt]

mainly relying on executor alter for building stacks, and exusiai alter / lemuen for dmg

[wraith sentinel]

Dorothy's alright but Wang is coming out soon-ish.

[quick jolt]

lee is shit
dorothy is fine but not super amazing

[gloomy sundial]

Mod2 is a good starting point with a substantial damage increase but mod3 is also very worth it unless you’re poor on materials

[zealous mortar]

yeah im getting him hehe

[full cove]

I just auto cleared a annihilation stage but it didnt add any orundum weekly progress? Was that a one time bug? Or did something change?

[pale tapir]

are you at 1800 limit?

[timber finch]

if i may ask, did arknight be the first to do other things?
idk if it has its place here actually

[daring helm]

was it the aegir stage? all the other "specially open" stages do not give weekly oruns

[full cove]

Nah i just recently returned after like 2 week or so of leaving

[woven mica]

Ic

[full cove]

Ohhhhh it is that one, i see i see

[quick jolt]

what other things? its maybe, since its one of the older gachas still popular/running, it precedes stuff like genshin

[timber finch]

dunno was just wondering generally for the general knowledge tbh, i find thoses lil fact great

[daring helm]

AK is probably the first gacha to have spanish, italian, russian, etc. dubs? texas italian VA my beloved

[quick jolt]

oh yeah, iirc its one of the few that let you select a different language for each character too? i genuinely forget if others have that, its been a while since i played most

[opaque remnant]

-# I wish we had that for endfield

[ancient current]

not a conversation for this channel

[opaque remnant]

Yeah I know

[timber finch]

sorri

[daring helm]

correct. characters speaking their own language is something i automatically love, and i can't think of any other games (not just gacha) that do it other than Tekken

now where's my nahuatl gavial dub

[ancient current]

was I not clear enough

[pale tapir]

between umiri mod3 and uika/nyamu mod1s which should I prioritize

[bold elm]

Is nasti any good?

[quick jolt]

shes fine but not worth pulling for 90% of people. you are probably the 90% if you're asking here

[tepid barn]

Who would the 10% be?

[daring helm]

just borrow her for fun or if she ends up being important to a future CC

[timber finch]

people seeking niches or fun specifics
like hypermaxing an unit

[quick jolt]

people who just wanna pull a fun op lol

[abstract mauve]

umiri mod3

[pale tapir]

thank u my goat

[quick jolt]

sure

[gloomy sundial]

Uika mod1 doesn't do much, mod 2 and 3 increases her fever gen (only off skill though)

[buoyant sigil]

Tips for eblana on ex cm

[bold elm]

I wanna gamble😔

[buoyant sigil]

Not too much of an issue to burst her down but surviving is not exactly the easiest task

Those burning reeds have me fuming istg

[pale tapir]

gotcha
you'd still put her mod before nyamu's I assume?
everyone's getting maxed eventually but I want to focus on the most impactful ones first

[buoyant sigil]

stage in question

[nimble fractal]

Worth pulling for Nymph? ( New player only have Leizi )

[pale tapir]

head to #strategy and drop ur roster @buoyant sigil

[abstract mauve]

nyamu mod barely does anything

[daring helm]

this standard banner is not good. at absolute most i'd try to pull until you get your 5* guarantee since proviso is on the banner, but even that is pushing it

[gloomy sundial]

Probably, haven't used Nyamu at all tbh but her mod just looks like more aoe damage for herself + a 5% higher chance to apply fragile

[nimble fractal]

ya i will just safe i think i dont have any problems for the story atm

[daring helm]

support units can carry you through the majority of the story so yeah, you can just keep saving for a better banner

[grizzled tangle]

https://krooster.com/u/baral Do I max Skybox to replace Exu1?

[wraith shoal]

dont level your ops randomly,you're wasting resources

[grizzled tangle]

ok

[mortal tapir]

are there any other way to farm trust as fast as possible other than dorm and solo missions?

[abstract mauve]

wdym by max? do you have e2 voucher and 5* lvl 80 voucher?

[keen scarab]

Does SilverAsh Alter S2 work on summons?

[pine plover]

bring less operator doesnt make them gain more trust

[wraith shoal]

trust gained is based on sanity spent, so no stage is better than others for trust. So just spend your sanity and put your ops in your base

[quick jolt]

all operators in squad get the same trust

its not split

[grizzled tangle]

weellll shii.. I was gonna basically js spend resources.

I dont think I got those

[wraith shoal]

leveling up your 6 stars past lvl60 was a massive waste too

[grizzled tangle]

Thats in the past

[abstract mauve]

what other 6* units do you have? they might be better investments

[grizzled tangle]

they're all right here

I could Invest a bit more into Surtr, Maybe Nasti??? I doubt tho. Mostima i heard is Niche.

[daring helm]

level your surtr for sure, E2L1 is a massive waste and the first 40 levels are very cheap

[abstract mauve]

surtr s3m3 mod2. might as well built nasti now that you have gotten her as well

[grizzled tangle]

E2 Level 60? as the max for her?

[abstract mauve]

not worth going above the level you unlock the mod at yeah

[fathom hawk]

around how much time is between the starts of diff limited banners

[opaque remnant]

Around 3 months

[fathom hawk]

counting like other random banners too? or like between pram2 and wang for example

[ivory terrace]

the consistent part of limited banners is 4 times a year

[frank talon]

Yes

Just between two limited banners

[fathom hawk]

oh oke ty

[grave bramble]

Including true limited collab banners?

[opaque remnant]

They’re a separate case

[grave bramble]

Did we not get 1 true limited banner per year since year 2?

[ivory terrace]

i don't count collabs
since that is at the IP holder's discretion

[pseudo flume]

It only happens whenever HG feels like it

Also no

[grim forum]

as a new player, is it impossible to get the old limiteds through sparks or reruns maybe while also getting the new limiteds without whaling

[nimble kite]

Can you repeat question once more?

[grim forum]

I mean like, I missed so many cool alters that I wish I had, which I probably could've gotten if I played sooner

I was wondering if I could maybe catch up (as in get the old alters and the new ones at the same time)

[nimble kite]

Well, either by sparking and offrate them via new Limited banners, you cannot get them other ways.

If you're newbie, it's easy for you getting new pulls. Won't be easy for veterans tho.

[abstract mauve]

you cant get them all unless you whale however you can slowly spark (not recommended) to gather the limiteds you are missing

[pale tapir]

fyi not all alters are limited

[grim forum]

I mean like while I get that it's not recommended it would be sooo nice if I had like silverash alter or like wisadel or pramanix alter stuff like that

[abstract mauve]

pramanix alter is a standard unit

[grim forum]

I did the math somewhat and if I were to just rely on monthly pass it would take 30 months to get enough for 1 guarantee

29 if you count the originite I think

[abstract mauve]

not having sash2 or wisadel isnt the end of the world either. there's wang who's at a similar level to wisadel if not stronger. closure is also a great vanguard in the future

[grim forum]

does that mean it's easier to get or something or is it the same but appears more often

[grim forum]

yea ik Wang is basically better and is enough for whatever but it would be fun to use the other units too, not just the ooga booga I kill everything unit

[abstract mauve]

limited units appear in their debut limited banner as 35% rate up then after a year, they appear in the limited banner 5x off-rate pool of that banner type and are 300 spark

later on they become 1x off-rate then 200 spark

[grim forum]

5x offrate, what does that mean? is that just like 5x better chances

[pale tapir]

standard operators are not limited and have a chance to be obtained on any non-kernel non-starter banner

[abstract mauve]

in a limited banner you have 35% chance for the limited 35% chance for the standard unit debuting alongside it and 30% chance for off-rate. this offrate is made of all the standard units + the 5x offrate limited units of that banner + 1x off-rate limited units of that banner. the a limited operator that's 5x offrate has 5x the chance of a normal unit

so in a limited banner that has wisadel as a 5x offrate, you are 5x more likely to get wisadel than you are mlynar for example

this is still a very low chance to get her even tho it's 5x

[grim forum]

ah I get it

so if I go by that logic basically does that mean theres a chance I can get chen3 while rolling Wang?

[abstract mauve]

chen3 is the 35% standard debut

wang is 35% limited debut
the chance is the same for both

[grim forum]

ok but so in the banner there's an option to pick which one I can choose for guarantee right

[abstract mauve]

at 300 pulls in, you are guaranteed to get a free wang copy. you would also have 300 spark currency you can use for whatever

[grim forum]

wait that's so good

so 300 pulls means I get Wang and whatever I want to spark? that's a really good 2 in 1 deal

[pale tapir]

you must claim wang from the banner page itself after pulling 300 fyi
he will not just magically appear on your 300th pull

[grim forum]

oh I see, that's a mechanic I haven't really seen in gacha games

[abstract mauve]

to be more accurate, it's 300 spark currency that's limited to the CNY limited pool and the spark currency is gone after the wang banner

[grim forum]

right so basically I have to spend it before the event ends, and the options are limited

makes sense

[abstract mauve]

the CNY limited pool has other than wang, 1 good unit in the form of shu and 1 decent unit in the form of yu. everyone else is kinda ass lowkey

[grim forum]

is there an info on what the spark shop is on that banner?

[grim forum]

that's pretty sad lol but I guess it's essentially a free unit for me as they're not the main goal for me

[abstract mauve]

check roadless camelot in pins

[near forge]

Somebody know the best way to farm the second mod, Maybe someone know another way to do that more faster

[nimble kite]

On Wang one, will be all Sui Siblings:

Nian and Dusk for 200 pulls.
Ling, Chong, Shu, Yu for 300 pulls.

[abstract mauve]

you are already likely to get wang 100-ish pulls in. if that happens, you really shouldnt go the whole way

[pale tapir]

yeah try doing more damage

[nimble kite]

It's first mod.

Fastest way is pull this operator on Base Assistant slot in Base.

[grim forum]

so these are the ops that will be inside the spark shop?

[nimble kite]

Yes.

[grim forum]

wait damn 100 pulls is expected for Wang to appear? that's way less than the 300 people say

[glass mural]

300 is the safety guarantee threshold.

[pale tapir]

300 is the guarantee for wang specifically
the chances of you not getting a 6* in 100 pulls is basically 0
and chance of not getting rateup in 100 is still very low

[grim forum]

I guess the rest of the pulls is just saved for the next banner then

and maybe spark if there's a really good op?

[fierce needle]

300 is guaranteed
A hundred pulls or so is just the usual
You're extremely lucky if you need that 300

[glass mural]

100 is closer to average?

[glass mural]

200+ and we're extending into you're not extremely 1 in a million levels of unlucky...

[abstract mauve]

70 pulls gives you a 50% chance to get a specific rate-up in this case wang

[glass mural]

But you're really unlucky.

[grim forum]

ok so 82% to get a rate up

but doesnt that mean I could get chen3 instead of Wang

[glass mural]

The better you save, the better your safety net.

[abstract mauve]

ye. the 50% is your chance to get wang

[grim forum]

so basically there's generally just 2 rate up characters

and i just gotta win the 50/50 between the rwo

[glass mural]

Pray that you don't get randomly spooked too.

[abstract mauve]

best case scenario you get both since wang and chen3 are both insane it's just that wang is generally more powerful

[fierce needle]

Yes

[abstract mauve]

the more pulls the better is always the rule on these banners

[grim forum]

🤔 I understand how it works now

it's just down to luck at this point

[hoary bramble]

currently saving mats for wang, is it a good idea to save for the other chen girl too in case i get her?

[pale tapir]

gacha game is down to luck

[fierce needle]

If you want to use her sure
She's strong

[glass mural]

It's a combo of luck and just making good roll decisions.

With AK, because you're expected to get a reasonably high volume of 6 stars, a lot of it is just making the right choices on who you pull for.

Realistically, someone who pulls on every other banner, and someone who saves, and then dumps their entire load on a few specific banners.

They're going to have similar amounts of total number of 6 stars, but the important bit is who.

[fierce needle]

Dont just randomly pull

[glass mural]

It's universal advice across gachas.

[fierce needle]

[abstract zealot]

how do I unlock this?

whats H5-1?

[nimble kite]

Are you serious?
It literally tells you how.

[abstract zealot]

idk where to find it

[nimble kite]

Have you cleared Ep5?

[pallid basin]

Can anyone lend me their maxed mlynar

[fierce needle]

Basically hell mode stages after finishing the respective chapter

[abstract zealot]

i think so

[nimble kite]

Checked the end of the map on Ep5?

[abstract zealot]

this right?

[nimble kite]

Open it.

[fierce needle]

Yes

[abstract zealot]

ok

[fierce needle]

Open it, go to the very right then look for stages in red instead of usual white

[abstract zealot]

OHH

[nimble kite]

Yeah.

[abstract zealot]

im so dumb I didnt notice

[pallid basin]

Can anyone lend me their mlynar With M3

[fierce needle]

Now you gotta do the ones in chapter 9 and 15 too

[abstract zealot]

[inland osprey]

i got one

[pallid basin]

Id?

[inland osprey]

Zoltan#2910

[nova arch]

do i get chen cause why not or should i try for suzuran

[nimble kite]

Suzuran. Normal Chen is shitty character you want to avoid by any means.

[nova arch]

i got magallan

[nimble kite]

F.

[near forge]

So guys this is my team rn It is fine or should I change something?

I take out mlynar, idk it is a good deal

[mild yacht]

Take out Myrtle.

[near forge]

Myrtle, But idont have shu

[rapid mason]

that is not true. I got my first Kal2 from 300 thingy, dont think it is that rare

[near forge]

What should I do there?

Shu is mandatory for my team?

[mild yacht]

Put Mlynar back in.
You have Hoshi2, Yu and Haruka. You don't need Shu.

[glass mural]

... Err. My statement is that extending past 200+ rolls isn't 1 in a million levels of unlucky.

[glass mural]

Your statement doesn't actually conflict with mine.

[near forge]

Is that right?

[rapid mason]

Yeah, sorry i actually read it wrong. mb

It has a probability of losing 35% about 7 or 8 times in a row

[near forge]

Just i want to get the best team ever but this is just sucks for me, I don't have shu and that is mandatory I think

[vital kelp]

Why is shu mandatory

[mild yacht]

'Best team ever' depends on the stage.

[pale tapir]

"best team ever" also depends on personal preferences

[vital kelp]

If u like her just put her in

[rapid mason]

shu is love shu is life

[near forge]

Everyone tells me the same thing"shu, shu, shu"but I created the account in 2025, and it still hasn't come out.

[nocturne laurel]

She already came out

[vital kelp]

Then why ask

[pale tapir]

who is everyone
shu glazers? rice lovers? enjoyers of bountiful plains?

[near forge]

No

[mild yacht]

Not having Shu doesn't criple your account.

[glass mural]

You mean we aren't spamming Wis'adel or Exusiai goated at you?

[rapid mason]

i didn't asked

[pale tapir]

he didn't ask he only spoke the truth

[chrome tiger]

hi chat

[hoary bramble]

is the amount of event pts needed to max skybox pot same amount as last event CS?

[chrome tiger]

less

[vital kelp]

Look man if you are a real shu simp or something just spark her with 300 pulls in wang banner or something

If u think u want her that bad we can’t stop u but its bad financial decisions

[near forge]

But everybody said the same thing, Get shu

[chrome tiger]

ok my job's here is done imma go to sleep bye chat

[pliant summit]

Is it worth raising all 5 bang dream members together

[nocturne laurel]

No

[vital kelp]

???

[mild yacht]

-# Ok, bye kotkaialt

[pliant summit]

Shu is good but as it is rn it costs a lot to get her

[pale tapir]

yes because I'm biased but no, if you have any decent roster sakichan alone is the only one "worth" raising

[vital kelp]

People told u u don’t need shu

[nocturne laurel]

If you really like them go ahead, you get cool fever, but i think only the 2 U 5 stars are worth it

[vital kelp]

No one said shu is mandatory except urself

[pliant summit]

Is Gladiia good btw? I’ve seen her in a lot of guides and kinda want to E2 her

[remote parcel]

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[remote parcel]

yes... she is very good free operator

[pale tapir]

no unless you need a premium puller for some reason
her only other use besides being a glorified rope is to buff ulpi slightly

[near forge]

The thing is, I also made the mistake of not getting Mlynar with his second dupe

[vital kelp]

No

[near forge]

My account is just sucks rn

[pliant summit]

I feel like I just need the niche. I’m more at a point where I’m E2ing for niches now

[pale tapir]

rope exists

[vital kelp]

Is this bait chat? Looks to me like it is

[wraith sentinel]

Your account in no way "sucks".

[abstract mauve]

it looks like bait yeah

[nocturne laurel]

Invest in gladiia for future abyssal hunters

[vital kelp]

That’s just cope use a healer instead

[near forge]

Bro, The second dupe of Mlynar is mandatory, For me is the best boss killer

[opaque remnant]

Future abyssmal hunters

[vital kelp]

Yeah this is definitely bait

[pale tapir]

just ignore him he'll go away when bored

[wraith sentinel]

Multiple people told them already that Potentials are worthless, yeah.

[nocturne laurel]

Skadi3 is gonna be crazy trust me

[opaque remnant]

Andreana has been an AH for so long and there’s still no signs of alter

[vital kelp]

Speculations aren’t allowed in the channel

Also that cope is crazy

[mild yacht]

No, real cope would be expecting Bloop2 and getting her AH tag back.

[ancient current]

I need to channel all the patience I can muster

[pliant summit]

I guess, does she actually work just as well that much?

[remote parcel]

omg here we go again with disagreement about good or bad... we talking about gladia boys... really? who u going to compare her with? wisadel? wang?

It’s like raising pallas for monitor carry in the future-

She's only been briefly mentioned

[ancient current]

@near forge you were told multiple things but decided to ignore them. don't engage in bait, and if you don't understand what's being said then ask for reiteration instead of going off completely unrelated tangents
your team is endgame meta and I'm pretty sure you already know it

I also told you what to change back in #strategy yesterday but apparently that didn't sink in

that is also off topic and doesn't belong to this channel

Would it be possible to make a channel called #help-resources above #help so people would be more likely to actually research for themselves first than pin?

Oh I thougt they meant an actual product they could buy

[pseudo flume]

Better hope you high roll on the Side Orundum stuffs on Events

[ancient current]

no just the lore

[remote parcel]

wish me luck brother

[pseudo flume]

It would be giga unlucky if you constantly got 300

[hoary bramble]

in og specter's module there's this line saying smth like "buffs Abyssal Hunter's attack by 5%", question here who are these abyssal hunters?
~~ no i haven't gotten to reading lore yet~~

[ancient current]

remember to not fall into blogging

[remote parcel]

ah sorry

[wraith sentinel]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Abyssal_Hunters
Scroll down a bit for a list.

[pale tapir]

you can see who is part of abyssal hunter faction on tomimi.dev

[pseudo flume]

Skadi, Gladiia, Ulpianus and Andreanna

For the fucking nth time "SKALTER IS NOT PART OF AH"

People coping too fucking hard on the AH buff on Skalter

[severe crypt]

well see, peeps dont read

[abstract mauve]

where spalter?

[pseudo flume]

I may have forgotten and put her on another category

[severe crypt]

you making us spalter simps look bad astrel

[pseudo flume]

[lyric lagoon]

channel deteriorating worse and worse by the second…

[wraith sentinel]

#help becoming #helpless.

[pseudo flume]

Isn't that the case since a year ago

[mild yacht]

It's been the case since the server was made.

[glass mural]

We've just gotta get over this barrier.

[pseudo flume]

Nah it improved when Weeboo moderated the channel

[ancient current]

keep in mind making up potential banners counts as speculation and isn't for this channel

[pseudo flume]

The Channel has gotten an Aneurysm and almost became a Vegetable when Wis'adel first dropped

[remote parcel]

yeah sorry i got trigger someone mention where spalter

[pseudo flume]

Or was it the IL Siracusano Incident where people kept asking for the same goddamn thing every hour for the entirely of the event

[ancient current]

I hate how right you are but it isn't a discussion worth continuing

[nimble kite]

I would call it "derailing into offtopic" instead

imma go to slep

[mild yacht]

Isn't that every event with a minigame?
Like Pepe and baltro.

[remote parcel]

cant wait for Wang drop on EN server

[pseudo flume]

No its where people complained where 6x auto went

[ancient current]

[pseudo flume]

Because Oystar switched Virtuosa and IL Siracusano Event order

[ancient current]

well I'm not sure it was ever made clear that this channel is intended for questions about gameplay only
discussing what happens in this channel, stuff like helper tier lists etc., is not allowed. this was defined by our team and we abide by it

[mild yacht]

It's been said several times, just a matter of whether it was actually ever documented so someone didn't have to look for a specific comment stating its purpose.

[pseudo flume]

Its usually not a big issue on a downtime 🥹

[ancient current]

anyways

[topaz wagon]

Should I use this on SA or Eyja? I dont use eyjas s3, just her s2.

[ivory terrace]

save

[pseudo flume]

Just save it

[topaz wagon]

Alright.

I used my 4s one on myrtle lol. I also have a 5s one. Should I save the 5s?

[ancient current]

what are your options

[topaz wagon]

Lappland, ptilo, BP, spectre. Uh... I think thats it rn?

[ivory terrace]

prob also save

[ancient current]

save

[topaz wagon]

Bet. Can I ask what im saving em for? Better units?

[ivory terrace]

if u used the 4* one on myrtle, hope it was s1

[topaz wagon]

Yes, it was lol

Its actually been so helpful

[remote parcel]

for Wang

[ivory terrace]

ideally on anybody that eats t5 pyramids for breakfast
2nd option: wang s3. eats salt

[pliant summit]

Myrtle is quite good yeah
It’s just there’s plenty of other core 4 stars who couldve got it too

[topaz wagon]

Ah so better units lol

[topaz wagon]

Ah, see idk what other 4s i should be using.

[ivory terrace]

kalt2 s3 worth insta m3ing?

[topaz wagon]

Idt i even have a lot of them tbh

[abstract mauve]

in the long term, 4* only get usage in IS. so optimally, you'd be using none

[topaz wagon]

Oic

[pseudo flume]

Rule #4

People you keep forgetting channel rule #4

[mild yacht]

People can't forget what they never read.

[abstract mauve]

if you wanna level units right now that might have a potential future usage in IS then that's not a bad idea but that's about it lowkey. 4* dont particularly excel at anything

some 4* are good just if you are new as well

[topaz wagon]

Hmmm. What from my roster should I be focusing on? I figure SA eyja saria?

[pseudo flume]

Are you a returnee because ancient relic looking account

[abstract mauve]

did you just come back from a long break?

[topaz wagon]

LOLOL yeah, last played 2021 🤣

[ancient current]

keep attachments relevant
you can just type it out. channel rule 4 means you keep images to a minimum of relevancy
you generally avoid gifs unless they're pretty helpful

[remote parcel]

alright... lets say i dont read it... can u explain it to me like im 10yo

[ancient current]

checking channel rules in pins is a fantastic start

[lyric lagoon]

next time, make a https://krooster.com account and post it here

[remote parcel]

i show how powerful wang is and worth to save for him

[ivory terrace]

n pls dun give me epilepsy thx

[topaz wagon]

Bet, I can try that

[ancient current]

prioritise typing it out first

[abstract mauve]

hmmm as of right now, sash mod3 s3m3. saria s1m1 with dr mod lvl1. eyja s2m3 -10 res mod lvl 1. ifrit s2m3. and maybe build nasti cuz you got her ig but she isnt a priority

[remote parcel]

gggrrrr sure

[ivory terrace]

literally 3 words: "blow shit up"

[pseudo flume]

Well that's a fossil indeed, anyways

- Shining, Ptilopsis
- Silverash, Specter
- Blue poison, Exu
- Eyja, Ifrit
- Saria, Cuora
- Myrtle
1 Free Slot

Note: This is a Tentative Team Arrangement, modify it as you will since this is my opinion

[remote parcel]

alright im sorry

[topaz wagon]

Yeh I was just messing around and got nasti lmao. Kinda regret it ngl.

Trying to figure out how to do the mod stuff. That whole bottom area confusing as heck. I get that it makes your talents stronger, but idk how to do it.

[pseudo flume]

Interesting Nasti pull though even though she's not necessary

[ancient current]

we're trying to keep the channel sanitised so it doesn't drown in gifs, stickers and images and people's questions end up getting swallowed by large media. understand that it's way more comprehensible like that, people come here just for answers to their questions and don't need flashbangs every five seconds

[pseudo flume]

Complete a Task to unlock em and spend mats

[topaz wagon]

Yeh, a student was like "hey mr arknights"... so i logged in for fun and blew a bunch of resources, cause whatevs, and ended up sticking around lmao. Here I am.

[remote parcel]

understandable... ill do better

[lyric lagoon]

also, even if you were to post images of a roster, please filter by rarity instead of levels

[abstract mauve]

each branch has a certain set of mods. the different types of mods that exist are X,Y, delta, alpha. most branches have X and Y mods. mods have 3 levels, the first level changes the trait of the branch. the 2nd and 3rd level changes one of the talents of an operator and rarely it also adds a talent

[topaz wagon]

My b, I thought it was by rarity. It keeps resetting every time I switch it

[ivory terrace]

outside of specialised modules, top mission is farmable. bottom require specific stage

[ivory terrace]

we dun talk raidian beta

[pseudo flume]

Farm module requirements in Heart of Surging Flame

[wraith sentinel]

The stages there cost 0 Sanity which makes them rather helpful to fulfil generic module missions.

[abstract mauve]

raidian what? raidian isn't a beta silly

[ivory terrace]

tbf u can also just casually do that during event farm

[ivory terrace]

beta mod

[pseudo flume]

If they use em in Trust farming

[abstract mauve]

doesnt exist 😇

[pseudo flume]

Wasn't RA module split into 2?

[ancient current]

is it true raidian beta is used for hitcount situations

[ivory terrace]

heard it is

[abstract mauve]

afaik that's for 1 stage

[topaz wagon]

Which tasks? Does farming mods automatically open that area up?

[abstract mauve]

she can solo feng shui with it. idk if it has other uses

[pseudo flume]

Both tasks that the module wants

[ancient current]

the one with five million furniture?

[pseudo flume]

That's like most of IS6 smh

[abstract mauve]

fengshui is the one with the placable roadblocks with like 1 million furniture

[lyric lagoon]

each module has certain missions you need to complete before you can unlock them (alongside trust and resource requirements ofc)

[ivory terrace]

it depends for each module, and u have to e2 to even see it
u can consult https://bit.ly/AKModules for more info

[ancient current]

nah feng shui gets mogged by entel that shit is easy

im talking about the f5 one

[remote parcel]

speaking of farming... is farming glowstick mandatory for RA point farm? holding screen for 999+ glowstick start to burn my finger...
can i convert tree to a much high price and get the same RA point reward?

[topaz wagon]

Aaaah, I found the tasks

[ivory terrace]

is the most brain dead one

[abstract mauve]

im not sure if it gets used there. i've heard the IS folk still recommend a hitcount unit to help clear that particular stage

[pseudo flume]

Its the easiest way to clear shop

[ancient current]

harmonie s2

[mild yacht]

-# IS/RA mods don't have those requirements beyond trust.

[abstract mauve]

unironically umiri s1 with an sp charger

[pseudo flume]

Plus they cheap on the module blocks

[lyric lagoon]

that was already mentioned before

[remote parcel]

so its only glowstick then that give lots of point?

explain

[pseudo flume]

Its just the easiest thing to abuse

You gain points from Raids, Fortresses and Gathering too

[remote parcel]

yeah... what i meant is can u make something else instead and get the same point

[pseudo flume]

Ummm no they cost more mats

[lyric lagoon]

costs more mats while giving less points

[pseudo flume]

Glow sticks very cheap

Just shave the forest bald for several seasons

[remote parcel]

yeah... cost more mats meaning i dont have to press my finger too long... thats why im asking am i going to get the same point if i make another stuff that cost more...

[lyric lagoon]

unless you’re crafting a bunch of net launchers with stones, but you’re deep into RA by that point, and even then glowsticks are still easier to farm

[topaz wagon]

??

[ivory terrace]

ya this event
for the top mission where u can farm most things like elite kills

because story stages cost 0 sanity; the farming stages are in another section

[opaque remnant]

Am I able to do these missions on practice mode I’m not really willing to spend sanity while an event is going on

[ancient current]

no

[pseudo flume]

Thats the place to farm requirements such as "X needs to deal 100,000 total dmg" or "Use X skill on n times per stage"

[ivory terrace]

u can't, that's try HoSF is gr8

[ancient current]

but you can do OF stages for the first one. they cost 0 sanity

[pseudo flume]

The only bum thing about OF is no 6x smh

[topaz wagon]

Ag I gotcha

[mild yacht]

You can also use SSS and abuse the stat buffs from stacking ops.

[ivory terrace]

no biggie, 0 sanity anyways

[lyric lagoon]

RA points will be calculated by the quantity and rarity of materials, with glowsticks providing both of each aspect, regardless you will still need to craft large quantities of tools if you want points aside from completing raids, hunts, commissions, etc.

[pseudo flume]

But irl sanity smh

[remote parcel]

oh so the point is based on how many things that u craft? not the mats that u spend?

[pseudo flume]

That's why you lose points

[remote parcel]

damn ok

[pseudo flume]

Get to holding that button for a few minutes

[lyric lagoon]

how many and what thing you craft, and glowsticks are T4 tools for some reason

[remote parcel]

i dont lose anything... im here asking... actually asking u feels like playing with yoyo...

[remote parcel]

now this is 10/10 answer to my question... thankyou so much

[pseudo flume]

I mean you lose points because you didn't craft Glowsticks :icant:

Anyways, speaking of RA, will people stop hating on Reedic for no reason when RA3 drops

[ivory terrace]

why tho

[pseudo flume]

Since Rice looks like the most exploitable item in RA3

[shy quiver]

Should I bother with M3 for Mon3tr's S3?

[pseudo flume]

If you want a True Dmg dps

[ivory terrace]

if u want true damage out of her then sure

[pseudo flume]

It happened for a few days on the unveiling of the next free 6★ selector, and recommended the other bozos

[topaz wagon]

So, for rn, should I just be focusing on completing story and trying to get units to max lvl?

[pale tapir]

max level is not the goal for your ops
in fact it is usually a waste

[lyric lagoon]

not max lvl, lvl 60 at the most

[pseudo flume]

E2Lvl60, E2 Max is luxury

[topaz wagon]

Aaah okay. I went overboard w SA then lmaoo.

[pseudo flume]

The total exp and lmd from E2 Lvl61 - 90 can E2 another op

That's how expensive it is

[pale tapir]

and all you get are a few piddly little stats

[topaz wagon]

Dang. Yeah my LMD and battle records are.... nonexistent

[lyric lagoon]

the only exception is tragodia, and even then you only go up to 82 or 88, not max

[topaz wagon]

I have them going in my base, but its not enough. And the farmining stages use up so much stam

[ivory terrace]

newbie perspective yeee i prob take the reedic
even without dem frostbyte propaganda

[pale tapir]

and that's only if you actually use what he gains at that breakpoint

[pseudo flume]

I have no idea why they didn't like Reedic and recommended Mudrock or Passenger

Both are washed

[ivory terrace]

i can get behind mizuki for IS but newbie alrdy have to dream to e2 him

[pseudo flume]

The only issue with the Reedic on RA3 is if the Device can survive and not explode

[flat hamlet]

Muzuki good in IS 3 specifically or in all? And why does IS 3 have a bad rap? I'm done with IS6, so a good amount of the mechanics in IS5, that I just started, are okay to me. Have played IS2 a lil, but many months back

[pseudo flume]

All, because IS3 can't be salvaged by pure skill

[flat hamlet]

Okay

[pseudo flume]

Every other IS can be salvaged by Skill but IS3 is an RNG Shitshow

[ripe moss]

Help
Tried redownloading the game, resetting the Internet, changing to mobile connection, problem persists

||Assumption: Perseus has gotten me, farewell lads||

[stark gulch]

yeah you get shit on by rng at mid-high diff

[ancient current]

you'll have a better shot in #tech-support

[turbid ocean]

IS3 is also skilled shit show Astrel

Your lack of discipline is showing smh

[pliant summit]

Get as many ops in IS3 to make sure the Rng has less of a chance of debuffing your main units

[pseudo flume]

That's only for D16 - 18 smh

[turbid ocean]

Yeap

[flat hamlet]

Sheesh... I guess I'll play it last, then.

[turbid ocean]

Think IS2 is the most gruesome because of just how slow and boring it is

Play it first to not ruin your attention span

[ancient current]

and d15 bsl

[turbid ocean]

unless you’re a newbie who needs resources quick then just do IS5

[pseudo flume]

IS2 is really boring

[pliant summit]

Hypergryph hasn’t dropped IS1 replaybility because it would be torture

[pseudo flume]

Most barebones IS available rn

On a positive note it improves Arknights Fundamentals

Because you can't be carried by your relics

Plus IS2 is hope starved

[stark gulch]

i dont think is2 is THAT boring but maybe i just like playing it

[wraith sentinel]

Also doing IS2 first makes IS3 feel nice.

[lyric lagoon]

not just that, the rate of rewards is slow af and has the worst ed2 boss

[pseudo flume]

The latter IS has more exciting mechanics

[flat hamlet]

Tbh... I played IS2 for about a month or two when I started the account and had exu2 and some 2-3 other ops raised. The lack of mechanics and relics made it very easy for me to get into, while it was extremely daunting in later IS versions. Now that I have done a good fair amount of IS6, idk how much I'd like the bare bones nature of is2

[stark gulch]

its true the other IS are more exciting, i just think IS2 isnt straight up boring

[pseudo flume]

Its a good training IS for newbies

[lyric lagoon]

is2 is literally a “can they spawn in already” simulator while your entire team is in poverty

[flat hamlet]

I looked at is5 back then and was shit confused. Felt stupid for not understanding the mechanics, left game for 2-3 months lol

[pseudo flume]

IS5 is just get Wis'adel and win to the point you can speedrun it within 15 mins

[wraith sentinel]

IS2 is Stun Simulator™.

[flat hamlet]

Wait what's the strat for speedrunning is5? Was planning to just progress up it like I did with is5. And when is the speedrun route worth it? I'm not in dire need of resources atm since I don't really have any units to raise in levels.

[pseudo flume]

Wis'adel, Lamp and Skill

[stark gulch]

only reason to do it is farming levels really, it gets pretty stale

[devout spire]

just raised pramanix alter, which skill / how to use her?

[flat hamlet]

Skill? I was using lamp yes, cuz heard someone .mentioning that it helps to get favourable collectibles based on your units later

[lyric lagoon]

not to mention is2 d7 is already like d10 of the other IS

[pseudo flume]

S2

[stark gulch]

yeah you use lamp to skip every combat and get hand of rumble + kings set, so it takes a couple minutes to do each floor

[pseudo flume]

https://youtu.be/zx38Pihy4fQ

[flat hamlet]

Gotcha
Will play it nornally with my own roster then... Don't have wis, her exploding everything also feels boring

Btw ed3 boss in IS6 felt so tame compared to Ed 1 and 2 lol

[pseudo flume]

The only issue with him is the debuffs

[wraith sentinel]

The debuff relics are quite a pain, yeah.

[rigid basalt]

Who should I level/build?

[stark gulch]

ed3 bosses are really easy in most IS, ive heard the exception is is4, but i know its really easy in 2 and 3 and relatively easy in 5

[ivory terrace]

logos

[pseudo flume]

Logos

[opaque remnant]

E2 your damn logos first

[ivory terrace]

maybe zuo le too but idk if u have e2 6*s or not

[flat hamlet]

Wait I should be skipping combat nodes if I get the lamp? I've been taking them to get more plans dropped to go vertical and get more stuff :/

[flat hamlet]

Thanks! Will check it out

[rigid basalt]

Logos, okay! Ty

[lyric lagoon]

• logos/zuo le for general usage (only raise zuo if you have nobody else)
• mizuki, gnosis, swire alt for IS (istg I better not hear about hool IS6 dlc2)
• passenger if you really like RA (wouldn’t recommend really)

[stark gulch]

only if youre speedrunning, cuz with lamp you get strong enough to beat ed1 with only wisadel so you can afford to skip combats but if youre doing other endings or playing with a regular draft then you need more relics and exp from combats

[flat hamlet]

Tbh I read the guide in is-central before I took it on, so could clear it on my first try, with just two leaks

Didn't know ed3 bosses were considered easier in all is

[pseudo flume]

IS4 easiest boss is ed2
