strategy

[storm current]

Its hp up

No defense up

So use physical

[wind silo]

Hmm

So tequila'ed huh

[storm current]

Cs by default has high res anyway

[wind silo]

But that's more burst

Hmm

I feel like I'm forgetting someone that can help

[solid brook]

i have a question about an sss strategy, for someone with a full clear

[wraith barn]

okay ask away i guess

[solid brook]

im building a team around buffing 1 unit and i need to know how many deployment slots you have on the final stage, so that i do not overpick buffers with my initial squad and can more evenly balance my overall comp. my buff target is Eunectes, my buffers are Warfarrin, Pallas, Skalter, Aak, and Horn.

[wraith barn]

at least I think these medals show that I quality

[solid brook]

the rest of my squad will be focused on fast redep supporters snipers and vg/g’s

[wraith barn]

around 5-7 im pretty sure

preferably you want to buff someone else

aka irene/gg

[fallen pilot]

Hello some one sent me from #arknights to #off-topic then to #help now I'm here searching for guides

[solid brook]

heres my current progress

[wraith barn]

okay yea thats a lot of atk

[fallen pilot]

Nerf atk

[surreal relic]

What type of guide specifically?

[fallen pilot]

just guides as of I've recently joined the server just to find guides

[wraith barn]

the problem is, I don't have eunectes so I really can't give advice on her usage and placement

[near folio]

How much attack and defense does big ugly thing have?

[wraith barn]

there are stages with multiple lanes (toron mine) that you cant just leave 1 op to do the work

[solid brook]

my true “goal” is to get her to 20k attack. above picture is with only 3 buffers.

[turbid badge]

shes lvl 90 mod 3 s3 m3?

[fallen pilot]

500Aspd Canta

[solid brook]

mod3

[wraith barn]

the problem I see is that if you want to buff her above the base +( however much attack relieving ops give), you need to buff skalter as well

[weak gazelle]

maybe adding guardmiya and horn would reach 20k atk

[wraith barn]

and it is normally VERY difficult to have 2 specific ops max caster stacked WITH your buffers all on field

you need to cycle 10 casters

[turbid badge]

ouch

[storm current]

@wraith barn use supporter

Literally SSS 101

[wraith barn]

casters are expensive

if you didnt know

and so my guy needs vanguards on field too

[solid brook]

why would i need 2 caster capped? only skalter right… warf and aak buffs dont scale with their stats

[wraith barn]

oh shit

eunectes is not a ranged unit

kill me

guard

[solid brook]

defender

[wraith barn]

sorry guard stacks

[solid brook]

i need 1 guard and 1 caster cap

fast redep on low tiles using jackie + flint + lapp

[wraith barn]

28 ops + the gear stuff

yeah you would have to get lucky but it could work

[solid brook]

gladiia + supporter cycling for casters

[surreal relic]

You could start with checking out the bot commands in #bot-spam since they're in easy to digest formats. You can use /tags to see all of the available ones. If you're new to AK, you can start with /newtips

#help and #strategy both have tools and information sheets pinned, you can also check #faq and #event-info. #r-i-i-c has specific information about the base

[weak gazelle]

ohhh sss buff
i tho normal buff

[wraith barn]

well amiya could still be used as a guard

since she serves multiple purposes

[weak gazelle]

5 guard B i think

[fallen pilot]

been playing the game on off for 3years and still unable to clear annih3 and I'm only lvl67 so i guess that's still new player

[storm current]

Thats worse

[solid brook]

amiyas buff value is lower than horns, so not as worth.

[fallen pilot]

so thanks for the guides

[storm current]

Guard stack is worse than caster stack

[weak gazelle]

so tell me how eun get caster stack?

[wraith barn]

? why

[storm current]

[wraith barn]

she doesn't

im retarded

[storm current]

Simply because melee buff usually involve vanguard instead of guard

Sp buff is valuable since you want to use skill as much as possible

[solid brook]

i could possibly semi cheese with ranged vgs instead of casters

[wraith barn]

but my guy here doesn't want to win SSS, he wants to buff eunectes

[storm current]

Caster buff can work as both sp atk or 40% atk

[fallen pilot]

#bot-spam is broken

[storm current]

Then its using amiya for talent

Not for guard stack

[solid brook]

i dont need to win. i just need 20000 attack

[soft crystal]

Vg stack eunectes is better tbh but also having lumen or someone behind her to block after her duration is sort of needed.

[weak gazelle]

arent the question is how to reach highest atk?
and the goal 20k

[soft crystal]

Oh if highest attack its just with guard A stack eunectes with caster B stacked skalter s3 and warfarin

[solid brook]

im pretty close already, just gotta get to the last stages to get the full assortment of units down

[soft crystal]

Lets add in Aak

[wraith barn]

the biggest problem is getting the ops you need

[wraith barn]

already accounted for

not in the buff above probably but they already said they were gonna bring aak

[soft crystal]

Already bringing skalter caster b too?

[wraith barn]

so you probably need to bring 3-4 casters and 3-4 guards, the buff squad, eunectes herself, and a few specialists and other supporters

[surreal relic]

You didn't use the right commands. /tags shows the commands available to use.
Not sure which guides you're looking for, but you might want to start with the pinned guides in #strategy first. There isn't a guide for clears since you can find them easily on Youtube or ask directly for help in #strategy
For the other two commands, you're probably looking for /originite and /gavial

[wraith barn]

you probably need some type of guard lane holder to prep for eunectes deployment

[weak gazelle]

5 caster and 5 guard B
already 10 slot
have 18 left
aak, warf, skalter another 3
15 left

[solid brook]

missed warf

[wraith barn]

you dont need that many guards at the start I think

since you are kinda bound to get more anyways

[weak gazelle]

specialist A would be good enough to stack buff faster

[solid brook]

irene is my carry until later stages, and pallas is a buffer

[wraith barn]

I would say to switch one out for a vanguard

[wind silo]

Guys I still need help

[wraith barn]

yea thats fine, irene prefers vanguard stacks so I think switching beehunter at the start out is better

[weak gazelle]

what kind of help?
maybe i can do something about it

[near folio]

Did Withered Knight’s charge slam always deal 4k damage or is it just TN modification?

[wind silo]

Cc help

Started from this comment

[turbid badge]

u can also try exu buff but thats hella rng

[wind silo]

End here

[near folio]

Man I remember Pyrite gorge

Back then the strats were kill Crownslayer with SA Saria S3 to slow and amp Eyja

[weak gazelle]

its CS one huh
i dont remember much about that map
suzu/ange/saria or any reliable slow/sluggish source will help you a lot

[near folio]

Oh ye and there was ange too

Ange, SA, Eyja and Saria

Those were the core for the strat

[weak gazelle]

and buffed exu or schwarz to kill cs while she got slowed

[near folio]

R18 didnt require buff exu yet

[storm current]

List of buff specifically for eunectes
Inspiration (skalter sora heidi(
Pallas s3
Guard amiya
Aak
Exu
Warfarin
Horn
Castle 3

Wait im late

[near folio]

Also weird question but did withered knight’s bonk attack always do 5k damage?

[storm current]

Only the first hit and every 4 hit after

[near folio]

I dont remember him hitting this hard back in the event

[weak gazelle]

about hammer bro dmg...
i forgot tbh

[storm current]

Similar to faust

But crit on first hit as well

[solid brook]

3 buffers

[storm current]

Same for corrupted knight

[near folio]

Lol I might have to use the fast redeploy cheese

[storm current]

@solid brook are you missing any

[near folio]

If I stun withered knight on his big hit will the counter get reset?

[weak gazelle]

yes

[solid brook]

im missing heidi but skalters attack buff is better. missing warf and 2 caster stacks for skalter

[storm current]

Castle 3 and horn?

Castle is 20% quite big

[near folio]

Hmm will Projekt Red be fast enough to keep stalling withered knight?

[storm current]

Uh

Just

Nuke with surtr

[weak gazelle]

i think yes
if you have her -redeploy pot

[near folio]

I see

[storm current]

On oriental

[near folio]

My only amp for surtr is saria

[storm current]

You get free maxed gravel

[near folio]

My suzuran still e0

[storm current]

No its enoufh

Just

Take the aspd buff

Lv3

[wind silo]

wait what

[near folio]

Oh right aspd buff

[storm current]

Trial for navigator

[tame schooner]

You don’t need an amp on surtr lol

[wind silo]

ah that

[storm current]

Aspd buff and redeploy are the viable one

Sp buff and the 4th are trash

[near folio]

I took sp buff

[storm current]

Its trash since even goldenglow has more dps with aspd buff

[tame schooner]

She does?

[weak gazelle]

or you can use perma freeze idea for hammer bro

[storm current]

Disclaimer

[near folio]

Gnosus with aspd buff can perma freeze?

[storm current]

Even with ×1.5 status duration, gnosis cant perma freeze without skill

So kinda

Its pretty trash

The aspd buff is 30 aspd 10% and -200 def onto enemies

Pretty significant

[sudden coral]

hey guys

[weak gazelle]

well i count in both gnosis and kjera

[sudden coral]

i have a question

[near folio]

Corrupted Knight’s special attack launches multiple arrows doesnt it?

[weak gazelle]

sniper bro, yeah

[near folio]

Im thinking of spawnkilling it with Pozy

[storm current]

Attack 3 in range iirc

[sudden coral]

who is the best partner for ling?

[storm current]

You can just

1 bomb them

Or back up with a NG

Since sniper does art

[sudden coral]

is chalter or eija

and please tell me strat to use

[normal sand]

How much range does mandragora range have in TN-4 spectacular trial? It seems they buff her range and also life point deduction

[storm current]

1 tile around her

Pillar drop is global

[turbid badge]

Ksalter

[storm current]

Also all boss instant kill if you leak

[sudden coral]

guys?

[weak gazelle]

idk
if u ask me, i usually go with camo idea
cycling fw with april
while asbes s1 and medic hold him
well that my 5* only strat tho for sniper bro
while hammer bro
cycling sham doll and red with blocker and healer

[turbid badge]

Both good

Ling lack ranged damage if ur using S3

[fresh copper]

It feels like there's very little deployable tiles to burst Crownslayer from at the beginning of TN-4

[storm current]

Yes

[normal sand]

Hmm I'm kinda having a hard time on her 2nd form since the pilar in TN-4 kinda useless (or I'm too low Brain to figure it out)

[storm current]

They buff the cooldown of her blink

But what i did i just

Cantabile the tile below

[fresh copper]

Patriot is pretty simple even without mines

[storm current]

Then wildmane + nearl

[turbid badge]

he literally sits for a good while

[storm current]

Or just nuke in middle lane with surtr

Or pozy her

[sudden coral]

@turbid badge hmm

[pearl musk]

How to bait the boss to drop a rock on himself

[fresh copper]

But then Mephisto comes out along with possessed soldiers

[storm current]

@normal sand borrow GG, hyper charge her with sp device

[surreal relic]

Crownslayer sometimes gets stuck on NTRK on the first tile of the map, though not sure how to replicate that

[normal sand]

Oh yeah i forgot she exists

[fresh copper]

Well I just scuffed my way through despite completely forgetting Mandragora's mechanics

[storm current]

@surreal relic its because she has "short blink" that basically make her unblockable

But not teleport

[empty solstice]

Does anybody have a link to a Nian+gavial combo? does gavialter just die? her passive makes her tankier each blocked right

[sudden coral]

i have these roster

https://krooster.com/u/aknoob

what should i raise

[turbid badge]

nian??

[sudden coral]

i dont have her

[turbid badge]

oh

gavial alter

[sudden coral]

where did you see nian?

[empty solstice]

@turbid badge yea +block and defense aoe thing + gavialter s3

[sudden coral]

did you check my roster?

[turbid badge]

oh i was replying to other person

[sudden coral]

i see

[surreal relic]

I mean CS gets stuck onto NTRK and can't dash over her, letting NTRK attack over the full duration of her S2

[turbid badge]

yea it makes her tankier per each enemy she blocks

[sudden coral]

guys

can anyone tell me who i should raise

[empty solstice]

@turbid badge shes gonna block 6 in total, is these feasible or she just dies without 2-3 healers

[solid brook]

eune will basically 2 shot her, and with pallas behind she wont get to blink

[storm current]

@surreal relic is it because she teleport into the "unwalkable tile"

Theres one tile you can deploy ops but enemeis cant walk

[turbid badge]

What are u using this for?

[empty solstice]

@turbid badge no I'm just a new player from this event, and just like gavialter a lot, considering either Nian or Dusk to spark

[turbid badge]

Ohhh

[storm current]

(You shouldnt spark)

[solid brook]

ive got enough cycle now, just gotta make sure i grab a few extra low blockers because some of my shuffle units are very low level

[storm current]

No vanguard?

[solid brook]

sail

[storm current]

1 vg is literally 0 vg in SSS

[sudden coral]

guys

[turbid badge]

You can do the calcs

Increases ATK and DEF by 12% (+2%), increased by a further 5% (+1%) for each blocked enemy

6 enemies

[sonic willow]

4 guards

[sudden coral]

no one here help me?

[surreal relic]

I'm aware, I just haven't figured out the timing yet

[turbid badge]

its not nothing major but it does help her tank i guess since it also gives def

[solid brook]

i made it to stage 4 so far

[turbid badge]

talking about nian skill s3

[sonic willow]

that's a shitton of stats

[empty solstice]

@turbid badge yeah I'm just wondering if she just melts blocking 6 people, I thought people would atleast have 1 YT video, i've searched and can't find

[sudden coral]

...

[storm current]

Simple

Its impractically since 1 tile range lol

[sonic willow]

well

[turbid badge]

lul

[sonic willow]

nian gotta take all the W she can get

[turbid badge]

isk how to get 6 enemies

and a boss to test

[empty solstice]

can you do it

[turbid badge]

Yeah

[empty solstice]

thanks!

[sudden coral]

guys

[turbid badge]

wit

i cant

No practice plans

Lmfaoo

[empty solstice]

xdd

[turbid badge]

but youll probably still need atleast 1 medic

[empty solstice]

yeah that's for sure

she bleeds after the duration

well

I have 5+ months to ponder

[frigid kite]

Aaaaaa

He leaked

@wind silo try that, maybe it will work for ya

May is just jessica (replace)

[sudden coral]

ned help pls

[weak gazelle]

i think you forgot to use the stun device

[frigid kite]

What is it?

[sudden coral]

https://krooster.com/u/aknoob

who should i raise

[near folio]

At this point, you could E2 lappland

[frigid kite]

E2 Lappland and M3 your operators, after that, you can E2 Skadi, but be aware thst she needs Modules for being good

[near folio]

Fartooth is also another option for E2, seeing you already E1 her

[sudden coral]

i see

[solid brook]

lappland > schwarz > lumen > fartooth

[sudden coral]

is it because these are at least e1?

also why lumen

[wind silo]

Hmmmmmmm
Wait i probably could add a gladiia to DPS them

[frigid kite]

Sounds nice

Mine is E0 1

[wind silo]

Wait let me strat this

[solid brook]

no. schwarz is one of the best tank busters. lumen has status cleanse and will be your best medic. fartooth will cover your other general sniper needs

[near folio]

Very good general use healer

[wind silo]

holup did you use guardmiya

[frigid kite]

You don't have her right

[wind silo]

I haven't got her Mann

[frigid kite]

[wind silo]

[near folio]

Sadge

Time to play story mode

[solid brook]

you want lappland e2 for the 7 second passive silence @sudden coral

[frigid kite]

What lvl is your Gladiia btw

[wind silo]

I'll do that tomorrow

[near folio]

Lappland dps still very relevant today

[frigid kite]

Maybe I can use 1 from support

[wind silo]

I use supports

[solid brook]

mine?

90 e2 m3s3

[frigid kite]

Eka

[turbid badge]

lul

[wind silo]

I mean there's no gladiia in my rooster pic right

[frigid kite]

Well this actually makes it a lot more a easier

[wind silo]

[turbid badge]

[near folio]

Btw does the singer release poison gas if u damage it too much in egg phase?

[wind silo]

Welfare support only

[frigid kite]

Got it

[wind silo]

[frigid kite]

Nope

[near folio]

Aite, nice

[wind silo]

@frigid kite go, mald for my sake

[frigid kite]

Actually you can break the egg but it will spawn with 50% hp

[near folio]

Thats good enough

[sour steppe]

why clifheart is e1 isntead of gladia

[wind silo]

Gladiia is ranged guard with aoe skill, why not raise

[radiant plinth]

amazing

[void kelp]

Hello need help for these anni
Trying to 400/400 all of them before reset
Which ops should i use for each anni? Thank you!
https://imgur.com/a/PJsN2X5

[turbid badge]

lul

[sour steppe]

dont worry, those anni will come back, probably Ling can the almost thing on South Prison alone

[void kelp]

Trying to clear them all coz I'm at 256/300 for gavial banner

[sour steppe]

dont think they will give u enough for 40 pulls, u better holding off for future banners

[river fulcrum]

I've only 400'd Chernobog...

[near folio]

It feels funny to say this but im kinda scared of what crownslayer will do in TN4

[sour steppe]

its 1500 oredum per anni, x4 is only 10 pulls

too little to matter

[turbid badge]

banner end in 27

maybe

[sour steppe]

converting OP to Oredum might be more easier than that tbh

[radiant plinth]

if e0 can do it so can you

[storm current]

@near folio after you complete basic, every other difficulty is easy

Even ultimate

Simply because kazimier is too broken

[radiant plinth]

1 down.

[storm current]

How do you like

Fight patriot with e0

No mine

[radiant plinth]

burst then stall

btw no machines

[storm current]

Ye

Thats the hard part

[radiant plinth]

no

im dreading the mandra fight

[storm current]

Do you like

[radiant plinth]

im thinking things through right now

[storm current]

Oh massive stat check from gargoyle lol

[radiant plinth]

gargoyles are not an issue

[turbid badge]

wowa

[radiant plinth]

do you think

i should play it machineless

[turbid badge]

hmm

[near folio]

Trying to force hellagur be like:

[molten swan]

Uhhh

Mandra fight doesnt have machine

Have fun

:)

[modern plover]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[radiant plinth]

machine destroys itself

[sudden coral]

im scared

[frigid kite]

@wind silo

Ansel likes to die, don't let him die

I also used a non module gladiia, not sure how much difference will have

[meager merlin]

What is killing my ops immediately after 1st mephesto phase is over in TN-4?

[turbid badge]

u should be

[sudden coral]

@turbid badgey

[turbid badge]

jk i was messing with you, but the last stage its kinda rough

[weak gazelle]

mephisto DoT dmg?

[storm current]

The fog last for 30s iirc

And each tick stack separately

So if you nuke him, your ops take like 500 true dmg per sec

Or like 1000 in ultimate

[weak gazelle]

and cannot be nullified by he simply dying
unless his p2 dot

[storm current]

At least you can attack him while in egg form

That help a lot

Since you have less,mob threat

You can focus bursting him

[frigid kite]

If you Nuke 2nd phase, fog is gone

[meager merlin]

I nuked his 1st phase and all my ops just died immediately

[storm current]

Easy solution

Nuke then wait

Instead of deploying your lane holder first

Mob are slow

[meager merlin]

Attacking his shield damages me?

[weak gazelle]

you can nuke them and retreat all ops

[frigid kite]

Yup, on TN-4 the bird will appear first and the enemies spawn a bit later

[civic nest]

is the buff in ultimate trial big?

[weak gazelle]

i guess you should read mephisto description first

[meager merlin]

If I damaged him slower would that help?

[frigid kite]

Feels the same, some enemies are a bit tankier and Mandrágora will do 2k per tick

[meager merlin]

I could bait damage with monster

[civic nest]

good to know

[weak gazelle]

mephisto fog apply the whole map
and will dmg every deployed operator

[frigid kite]

Oh and there are more enemies on Ultimate

[turbid badge]

its like red fog

i just retreated everyone and left blemishine

[near folio]

Holy shit, 4 stages

Looks like hell if u dont have kal tsit

And we have to fight mandra as well wtf

I hate that boss the most

Actually

NTR could probably kill mandra

[civic nest]

why didn’t i think kal was good here

[storm current]

Buff is not big

But it can mess up your strategy

[civic nest]

ic

[storm current]

You practicall cant block crownslayer

[near folio]

Strat to kill all 4 bosses: NTR

[civic nest]

hope my dumb strat still works then

[storm current]

The fart is much deadlier so that you cant use lane holder

Mandra always use laser

And i see no difference with patriot

[civic nest]

that’s a lot of difference huh

should prepare for that

[storm current]

You also get 1 less pillar in ultimate

Oh yea

Patriot reduce spear cooldown

But i dont use range

[civic nest]

ah

[storm current]

[civic nest]

same

[near folio]

Tbh for patriot dont u just insta kill him with ntr?

[storm current]

Nearl wildmane

[civic nest]

like with s3?

[storm current]

S2

Wildmane s1 btw

[near folio]

S3 should work too

[storm current]

Much more reliable

Theres no point

[civic nest]

ntr can 1 cycle him ?

[storm current]

You ignore def anyway

No

But wildmane nearl can

[civic nest]

ic

good to know

[storm current]

For 2nd phase use surtr as well

[turbid badge]

yeah

[storm current]

Surtr can tank

[civic nest]

the 3rd squad is wat everyone goes with?

[storm current]

Kazimier + aspd buff

[frigid kite]

Is the easier

[civic nest]

i just pick 2nd bcs mudrock

[storm current]

Bro

Just use your max mudrock

Why use a free one

[civic nest]

true

[wind silo]

steps, now

[storm current]

I didnt use mudrock in tn4 ultimate tho

[near folio]

I feel that 2nd gets screwed by Patriot and Mandra

They rely too much on phys and arts

[frigid kite]

Well, you start with Vanilla on Beagle's place, put Melantha 2 tiles down, wait for dp and put amiya looking up, after Amiya Ansel and then Kroos

[civic nest]

pozy still good in ultimate?

[turbid badge]

duhh

For mandra

snip

[near folio]

I would imagine she is

[wind silo]

You meant fang
I got no vanilla

Anyway

[storm current]

Yea

[near folio]

Pozy good for cracking the egg too

[turbid badge]

Wow

[storm current]

Pozy is nice for CS memphisto and mandra

[civic nest]

ic

[storm current]

Pozy is just out of range to camp mandragora

[civic nest]

well gonna go do a run then

[turbid badge]

Cool

hav fun

[civic nest]

wait thorn

[turbid badge]

dont ler crownslayer bite

[civic nest]

i used him in the other 3 difficulty

bcs i’m lazy

[near folio]

This team works or is it not worth bringing warf?

[civic nest]

he don’t get cucked here right?

[frigid kite]

After kroos Gladiia and that's it for the beggining, now just bait CS jump so Melantha (with skill on) can dps on her, let Fang tank and hit a bit CS and after it jumps her (or kills her, in which case replace her for any of your defenders) use Gladia S3

And everything else is up to you

[storm current]

Change to aspd buff

Thorns is too slow for my taste

[near folio]

Oops

[turbid badge]

if it were@me ill bring a Aoe medic

[storm current]

@near folio wildmane s1 and nearl s2, also run aspd buff

[civic nest]

wat would be a good filler

[frigid kite]

After that, now that CS is dead (or pretty close) just use S3 on the big wraiths and that's it

[storm current]

Goldenglow is pretty good for wave 3 and 4

Since you get 2 sp device

[turbid badge]

honestly myrtle isnt really needed

lol

[civic nest]

[storm current]

Slowing enrage possessed and sniping mandragora/gargoyle

[near folio]

Hmm but ntr s2 is only phys, is it really that good for ultimate?

[storm current]

[frigid kite]

Oh and put lava after the crossbow stuners are dead and the first wraiths appear

[civic nest]

is whislash still shit or should i actually use her to buff?

[turbid badge]

Its kazimeriz team

tummm

lol

[storm current]

Kazimier buff ignore defense and res for 20s after deploy or use skill

[near folio]

Oh

[storm current]

Whislash good now because of kazimier buff

[civic nest]

ah

[turbid badge]

She helped on big ugly

she gave a shield to wildmane

to tankna hit

[storm current]

Whislash buff blem nicely

[turbid badge]

yes 2 shields

gamer

and talent

[storm current]

The only vanguard i run is cantabile

To snipe bonus drone lol

[frigid kite]

She's angry omg

[storm current]

And i like running helidrop instead of lane holder

Thorns take too much time and doesnt contribute enougu

[near folio]

Yeah

TN seems to have less emphasis on lasting long

Rather just kill the baws as fast as possible

[frigid kite]

Well there are some times you can wait your characters cd

Like the bird, he'll take a long ride until the last tile

[near folio]

The issue is how you gonna heal your laneholders against mephisto

Actually one healer should be enuf if you space out your damage

Hmm

[storm current]

I run no healer

If goldenglow die

[frigid kite]

[storm current]

She dies

[proud drift]

just take the squad with offensive recovery

[frigid kite]

She dies irl

[proud drift]

blemi permasleeping with defensive recovery

[civic nest]

first try thx guys

[radiant plinth]

still trying tn-4 e0

its possible

i know it is

i think

idk

[civic nest]

basic trial right?

[radiant plinth]

normal

not CM

[civic nest]

still 4 boss

just hope this isn’t copium and u don’t stay awake for 24h straight

[radiant plinth]

cs is simple enough

pat is simple enough

[storm current]

Theres no way you can do ultimate with e0

[radiant plinth]

mephi is a bit complicated

mandra is hell

[storm current]

Since boss has bloated hp

[radiant plinth]

since i will likely have to kill each gargoyle 1 by 1

[radiant plinth]

i assume thats the CM

and you would be right

0 way i can DPS that shit

[civic nest]

wat op are u using to kill mandra

[radiant plinth]

kill isnt the problem

i dont know if i can live her laser

[storm current]

E2 cant

Lol

And ultimate reduce cooldown of boss

CS blink is like 1s

[civic nest]

in ultimate the laser even kills my mudrock

[storm current]

Patriot is like 5s?

[civic nest]

sadge

[storm current]

And mandragora has laser on every attack

[radiant plinth]

lmao

i hate those kind of stat check

but for mandra

i just dps

2 pillar

and some dps

is enough

[turbid badge]

woa 2 pillar

gamer

[mild whale]

Mandra is annoying boss because of her dmg reduction

[turbid badge]

i suck at pillar

[radiant plinth]

your fault for being bad at pillar tho

:clueless:

[storm current]

I just brute force with fw GG

[mild whale]

First pillar is annoying too. Need heavy shooter, pusher or aoe caster to attack first pillar, else they will attack Mandra when she gets in attack range

[mild whale]

Skill issue. Can't relate

[radiant plinth]

you know

wait

[turbid badge]

you know

[radiant plinth]

where is this first pillar

because for most of them

you can kinda

[mild whale]

But manage to clear it without any retry

[radiant plinth]

use an extra ranged body

face down

[turbid badge]

Yes

[radiant plinth]

not towards mandra

to drop the pillar

[mild whale]

Wait face down ?

I thought they won't attack the pillar if it's not directly in front of your op ?

[radiant plinth]

it attacks the pillar

[mild whale]

Like drop SA but not face to the pillar then he won't attack that pillar ?

[radiant plinth]

they dont have to face it, but they do have to be right next to it

if you face SA sideways from the pillar he will attack it

but only

if he is right next to it

[mild whale]

Oh I've been doing it wrong since beginning

[radiant plinth]

[turbid badge]

Mfw

[mild whale]

Anyway, Kamizier ops are too cancer in this TN

Patriot: 10 seconds each phase without any buff

[storm current]

Me when wildmane outdps surtr

[turbid badge]

true damage wildmane moment

[sharp chasm]

Can chalter spawncamp ex8-cm boss by herself?

[mild whale]

Even with Suzu, she can't

[turbid badge]

In cm no

[mild whale]

It's 15k hp more and 200 def more iirc

[turbid badge]

Too tanky

Need extra support

[storm current]

Pozy has higher dps btw

M0 warfarin + pozy is enough

[sharp chasm]

Pozy can do it at level 90 m3

Ah i see let me try that

[storm current]

Btw

You can use thermal ex

His explosion hit air

[mild whale]

I was pretty shocked when the boss had ~50% hp left with Chalter Suzu

[radiant plinth]

ew

IC

return to TN

[mild whale]

Are u done TN with E0 yet ?

[sharp chasm]

Whoa didn't even check thermal ex before ,%10 fragile and free dynamite for 3 dp, op

[mild whale]

It's 30% isn't it?

[glass monolith]

it is based on how much sauce you have on him, and all my nukers 3:50 are cutter

And all my robot tags are kroos out

[sharp chasm]

At max pot yeah

[storm current]

Depend on pot lol

[mild whale]

I thought you must get robot tag for robot op ?

[storm current]

Nah

3:50 still work

[glass monolith]

robot tag is skyrocket of chance, but all my cross outs land on them as well

[storm current]

I always try for thermal ex if i get specialist

[mild whale]

I wouldn't mind doing 1 hour recruitment 200 times for those robots if i knew it sooner

[storm current]

Nah

You get 2*

Not worth

[proud drift]

why 3:50 tho?

[sharp chasm]

I think since there are no specialist lower than 4*, if tag doesn't cross-out, thermal ex is guaranteed?

[glass monolith]

You can't deny 4*s with low recruit time

Hold my Gravel number 217

[storm current]

No@sharp chasm

You can stil get 4* at 1:00

[glass monolith]

I gain like 2 or 2.5 gravels on weekly basis, sadly 3 year recap didn't clarify on amount of pots you gained

[reef mulch]

I'd like tips for SSS Toron Mine last level

[random widget]

Is it possible to beat IC EX 8 with this team~

[storm current]

Do you have shamare

[random widget]

Yes

[storm current]

The other one

But you most likely cant

[reef mulch]

Unfortunately no

[storm current]

Since e1

[random widget]

Ohh alright

[storm current]

You have plenty of time

Can you get pozy e2 in time

[radiant plinth]

try and get an e2

then borrow

e0 can do it but its so scuffed

[storm current]

@reef mulch can you select shamare from selector

[random widget]

I have my Shamare at E2

Because I used

The ticket~

[radiant plinth]

also lappy wrong skill

[random widget]

Ohh alright

[radiant plinth]

1 is ez

2 is rng

[reef mulch]

Can't. I also can't borrow her as support unit since I've used Gnosis to cheese the 6th level

[storm current]

What supporter do you run

[radiant plinth]

3 is stupid and i refuse to do it

[storm current]

And do you have kaltsit

[reef mulch]

Oh I mean Gnosis is my support

[radiant plinth]

4 is being worked on

[reef mulch]

And yeah I got Kal'tsit

[storm current]

Yes

I meant

The supporter class

How many are you running

[reef mulch]

I run two supporters, Gnosis and Skalter, and the class is set to the one where you can choose 1 of 4 ops upon deployment

[storm current]

@random widget wait you have e2 unit?

Are you running chalter btw

[reef mulch]

I have her but she's only at E240

[storm current]

My strat for boss is just

Block with mon3tr

And use chalter s3 when it come in her range

Boss has extremely high atk

But attack slow af

So mon3tr high hp pool can tank long enough that you can use kaltsit skill

[reef mulch]

Where didya place all 3?

[storm current]

And it has fast cooldown, the stage doesnt have much tile to deploy

Uh

Can you like

Post the map

Since im on mobile cant screenshot it

[random widget]

Wait sorry! @storm current

So I basically kinda whaled right

[storm current]

No

[storm current]

If you have e2 ops

[random widget]

I’m able to like

[storm current]

You can borrow

[random widget]

E2 her

Oh yeah I have E2 Shamare

[storm current]

@random widget you may borrow a max pozy then

Mod3 m3

[random widget]

Oh okay

Is there no need to E2 my own Pozy btw

[reef mulch]

Thanks

[storm current]

You can if you want

Shes a nice unit anyway

But ex8 is a 1 time clear

You can copy pozy strat

[random widget]

Oh that’s right!

Thanks

[radiant plinth]

prob should later

but for now just borrow maxed

make ur life ez

[random widget]

[vernal lion]

bruh

[glass monolith]

https://youtu.be/dSOMm0E3vyM

Blood Knight would be proud

[glass monolith]

Will we have third chance to spawn kill minimalist in S stages as well?

[storm current]

Most likely

[main solstice]

that happened to me a lot of times

that reaper just dont want to die

[jovial nest]

Btw what happens if I have 3 of the same class in my friend support? That would mean the game has to pick only 1 of them to be seen, right?

[random widget]

Oh sweet

I was able to beat EX10

Thanks for the help!

[proud drift]

shows multiple iirc

unless they changed it

but I remember friend sharing saga while having zima on 5* share slot

and it showed both

[jovial nest]

Must be specific to the 5* and 6* of the same class

Rather than 2 6* of the same class

But thats good to know

That means i can share both Cantabile and Bagpipe if need be

[proud drift]

only way to find out is to test with someone from your friendlist

[glass monolith]

Hardest challenge - have friend

[proud drift]

[near folio]

Wtf you can only use ranged units to knock pillars onto mandra

That’s almost impossible

I guess brute force is the only way

[ashen axle]

u can use melees

in a way

[near folio]

Only lord guards

[ashen axle]

no

any

bwell, for her 2nd phase

[near folio]

The way they mapped this, its only possible for lord guards to hit them

Or instructor for the bottom one

[ashen axle]

only ops adjacent to the pillars can hit them, so lords don't have an advantage over other ops

[near folio]

Oh

I see

So only ranged can knock these pillars down

[ashen axle]

only Dobermann or Pallas can hit it because the cursed modules that allowsthem to be deplooyed on high ground

[near folio]

Guess I’ll have to brute force mandra

[ashen axle]

her 2nd phase have a move that makes her drop a pillar onto an op

[near folio]

Amiya S3 can chunk out 50% of her phase 2 hp

Then the rest I just pray I have enough firepower

[ashen axle]

and u can bait it so she drops it on herself

[near folio]

Oh

[near folio]

How reliable is it?

Like will she use it the instant something drops in pillar range?

Or will she wait for her laser attack to finish?

[ashen axle]

its like a 10 second delay after she enters phase 2 and uses it every 15 seconds i think

[near folio]

I see

[fresh copper]

Shift gang gaming lez goooo

[near folio]

So its unrealistic to use that as well

[ashen axle]

ehhhhh, its kinda usable

but yeah u can just brute force it

[jovial nest]

Mandra is still what i consider a toxic boss that never loses its ass-age no matter how strong you get. She belongs with FN, EB, and EoE in that regard

Playwright too if they bothered to make him stay on a LOT of bantiles

[glass monolith]

Mandra is flying chapter 10 slime armed with beam cannon because fuck you

Design of bosses is literally "how we screw player over this time"

[jovial nest]

isn't it kinda hilarious that I haven't even included Tal in my list because she actually loses a lot of her dangerousness with stronger options/ops

[glass monolith]

Most bosses: I am too dangerous to block/ignore blocking
Talulah: I will kill those civilians, i double dare you

[mild whale]

Skadi can solo Talu with Gladiia now

[jovial nest]

Tal in JT8-3 instead: I'm in danger

[glass monolith]

If you rush story with 1-2 OP unit you are one in danger

Like when i reached it i was just trashed

And then i realized my now moduled Ptilo can heal talulah blocker in bottom left (I rushed blocking her here for personal bias) from middle

[jovial nest]

Tal is indeed a huge heal wall

You can ignore so much healing in story

until Tal....

[glass monolith]

And then i realize Chalter face just eats fireball while Ptilo S2ing

[jovial nest]

Tal is what made me E2 my 2nd medic

[glass monolith]

I was fast redeploy baiting, don't recommend

[jovial nest]

We're just getting more and more options to bully Tal in JT8-3

until it's dethroned in Aketon farm

[glass monolith]

I am not good at long malding

[proud drift]

I really hope that cc being feb3 is true

I get to finally do story

I wanna experience this talulah that people speak of

[molten swan]

Amogus?

Where did you hear feb 3 cc from

[proud drift]

someone told me that cc is february 3rd

lemme try to dig up logs

[glass monolith]

Feb 3 is date when IC should end, i doubt they will back to back into CC

[jovial nest]

we've gotten announcement of CC10

[molten swan]

Eh fair

[jovial nest]

before IC news

so its 1 month from announcement

[proud drift]

oh

it was an "iirc"

missed a keyword

[glass monolith]

Trials end on 3rd, IC ends on 3rd

[proud drift]

I mean I don't mind a dead week either

[glass monolith]

incoming dead week before CC10 because fuck you we are 20 events behind schedule we can afford it

[molten swan]

Wait what

Trial lasts one week

[proud drift]

but if they don't do a cc right after this then the "early february" announcement will be false

[glass monolith]

Reward claiming last 2

[molten swan]

How does it end on the same day as IC

Bruhe lmao

Well you say that

But yostar can extend the “early feb” to anytime earlier than 15 feb

[glass monolith]

February 28th is earlier than 29th

[proud drift]

and if event ends 3rd of february

and they do an insta-event without dead week

that's already feb 10th

[glass monolith]

And we are fucking 1 rerun 1 mini event and 1 full event behind schedule

[proud drift]

a rerun COULD fit in the schedule

idk how long mini events generally last

[glass monolith]

week

[fallen yew]

Mini/rerun 10 days iirc

[proud drift]

shop=/=event itself

no?

[jovial nest]

you say dead week

i say FINALLY I GET TO FARM BOOKS AND CHIPS AGAIN

[fallen yew]

I don't think there will be any dead week after IC

[proud drift]

I say I finally get to clear talulah chapter

I stopped at M8-8

[fallen yew]

Some dead hours at best

[glass monolith]

Good old times

[proud drift]

but didn't cc10 in cn have dorothy

[fallen yew]

It isn't the first time

[glass monolith]

Well good news we don't get that because Moduled Snipers and Dorothy sucks in CC10 perma stage anyway

[novel pivot]

Tested out Exuwarf vs Archwarf on this boss

[proud drift]

that's not even a fair comparison tho wtf

[novel pivot]

Archwarf needs SA S3 to match exuwarf solo

[novel pivot]

A friend asked me

[proud drift]

exu hits like what

[novel pivot]

Bcs he didnt have anyone but arch

[proud drift]

6 times in one hit

[novel pivot]

So he asked if arch was a worthy build

Then he asked me to compare both

[proud drift]

while archetto barely gets any atk boost and hits only 3 times

[novel pivot]

So i did

[proud drift]

I mean

archetto is worthy to build imo

she's still a good sniper

[novel pivot]

Yeah

Range extend is bonkers

[proud drift]

She does better in places where exu would fall flat

I don't even use her S3 that much

I'm addicted to her S1

[novel pivot]

I only m3 her s3

[proud drift]

yea uh

both of my fire chickens

are M9

[novel pivot]

I just use

Chalter exe

Snipers rarely ever used

Honestly idk why i even build arch

She's just hot

[proud drift]

TRUE

[novel pivot]

Idol skin included

I bought it

Worth

[proud drift]

when do we even get it again

[novel pivot]

Never

Cope mald seethe

[proud drift]

that and blemi skin are on my #1 priority wishlist

[novel pivot]

Blemi is

Mommy

[novel pivot]

5

Akshually 🤓

[proud drift]

lemme try some math

also what is this last part

[novel pivot]

Aspd bug

Dont fix

[molten swan]

Its not a bug if you treat it as a feature

[proud drift]

no it's positively impacting the playerbase thus it's most definitely a bug

it's only a feature if it's negatively impacting one's enjoyment

[novel pivot]

Exu aspd pot actually carried my darknights memoir

B4 i took an extra hit from a grudgebearer, but with aspd pot it dies before it does the extra hit

🙏

Potgated real !!!

Gonna sue hg for making dm whale event /s

[proud drift]

how much atk does she get from trust

+90?

[novel pivot]

Rip 2x recruitment text speed

When does global get that

[proud drift]

also how does trust affect buffs, if lv90 exu has 540 atk and gets a warfarin buff

is it 540*1.9+trust

or is it (540+trust)*1.9

[novel pivot]

90 atk

Trust bonus

[novel pivot]

Ask khold or smth idk

[main solstice]

this

[novel pivot]

Trust is added to base stats afaik

Its just a free 3 atk potentials

[main solstice]

trust count as base stats

[novel pivot]

Modules are technically f2p potential

Technically

[proud drift]

so on deployment pot1 and with warfarin, e2 90 exu with full trust has 1320 atk

[novel pivot]

I can test

[proud drift]

and shoots 5 times with reduced aspd

meanwhile archetto

803 atk

[novel pivot]

Oh wait

[proud drift]

with 3x hit

without even an ASPD buff

oh + warf buff

[novel pivot]

Mine is pot4

[main solstice]

you should read the mechanics sheet

[novel pivot]

Cant test

[proud drift]

chetto has 1359 atk

so exu just str8 up has almost double the damage

[novel pivot]

Just add aak and maybe

[proud drift]

no chetto's base atk is lower than exu

[novel pivot]

Copium

[glass monolith]

Chetto is cute and has multi target

[novel pivot]

Exu and aakfarin shred

Chalter still beats pozy in gen content? Or no

[proud drift]

so it's no surprise that in your testing for friend exu completely outdps'd chetto

cause she... honestly probably literally just does 2x more damage

[glass monolith]

Chalter still beats dogs up, Pozy beats in single target

[novel pivot]

Balans still sits at the top of the broken ops list

[main solstice]

yeah, top 3 ops are surtr, mlynar and chalter

[novel pivot]

Yeah pretty much

Inb4 he build arch anyway

[proud drift]

I did build archetto over exu

[novel pivot]

He cant build exu

Because he has no exu

[glass monolith]

I built Kroos alter over Exu

[novel pivot]

E2 jessica

[main solstice]

i built ash over exu

[proud drift]

nice flex

[novel pivot]

Ew rich

[main solstice]

and later i also built exu

[glass monolith]

Jessica is my first trust 200%.... I forgot her as main base assistant for 3 months

[novel pivot]

My first 200% trust was courier

Or fang

Idk

Fang is cutie

[proud drift]

mine was ling cause I started the game with her

[novel pivot]

||I want to marry fang😔||

[main solstice]

mine was surtr

[novel pivot]

Bro got the cheat sheet
