strategy

[tidal sedge]

guys guys, who should i pick for IS2 Big Lock Ending? this is my current roster

[molten swan]

sounds like a gavialter

wait hang on

[rough anvil]

Nearl is a beast against big sad lock, she just hits hard, thorns is a strong lane holder, gavial can hit the boss while her skill is up

[molten swan]

yeah sure gavialt

[tidal sedge]

but Gavialter skill 2 or 3, cause i have M3 only on S2 for her

[rough anvil]

S2

You can do the same trick with her that you would do with blaze on the map

[tidal sedge]

what trick?

[rough anvil]

Under the hole on the left, facing right

[tidal sedge]

oh ok

[rough anvil]

When her skill is up her range extends so she can hit boss

Just like blaze s2

[tidal sedge]

so i pick gavialter here between those 4 guards?

[rough anvil]

I mean it depends how far you've advanced in the run

Pointless to pick someone for the fight if you can't get there

[tidal sedge]

middle floor 3 at the moment

[molten swan]

massive doubt

gavialt+thorns+gg is a guaranteed win if you know what you're doing

[rough anvil]

I'd be careful of using gg in big sad lock though

If you aren't careful and you don't have the right relics you'll wipe your team

[tidal sedge]

these are current relics

[frigid kite]

Wow

What a lucky run

[rough anvil]

Those are okay

[frigid kite]

Wait, i thought you already had allt he guards lol

[rough anvil]

Aspd relic and suicide note would make your life alot easier

When you get around to it try to pick those up

[tidal sedge]

i know but it's not i can choose what i find

[frigid kite]

Gl

[tidal sedge]

i still haven't picked the guard

[tiny moat]

BSL has 300k hp and 700 defense

have fun

[tiny moat]

also what floor?

[frigid kite]

Either ntr or Gavialter

[tidal sedge]

right now middle floor 3

[tiny moat]

what i do there is just use pozy

[frigid kite]

Too bad Pozy isnt a guard

[tiny moat]

theres a thing called just get her

but yea it feels like i need to rotate guard skills more

[tidal sedge]

how do i use NTR against BSL?

[tiny moat]

use s3 win

[molten swan]

no true damage still tho

[frigid kite]

Yup

So

[tiny moat]

yea unlike s2 that she has technically a 75% downtime

[rough anvil]

She still does super strong damage

[frigid kite]

In doubt pick surtr

[tidal sedge]

who would you pick?

[tiny moat]

boss has 60 res

holy god

[frigid kite]

One day

[rough anvil]

Who else do you have on the team?

[tidal sedge]

i sent everything a little bit before, check the start of the conversation, it's not long

[frigid kite]

Surtr killed the bear in 8 seconds (nothing related lol)

[rough anvil]

Oh yah

Sorry I got confused

Yeah I'd go gavial in that scenario

[frigid kite]

Well, now being serious, Gavialter cycle will help you a lot since she can also Hold the lane + hit the bear, NTR either S2 or S3, probably S3 for better cycles of the shield hmm

So yeah

Probably Gavialter

Who you have M3 thought

[tidal sedge]

gavialter is M3 in S2, Nearl is M3 on both skill and also has Module lvl 3

[frigid kite]

Tempting

Who do you think would help you more? @tidal sedge

Like, any strat making on your head or something

[rough anvil]

After that id aim to pick up a 2nd aoe medic or stronger medic and then go all in on boss killers like nearl, surtr, pozy, chalter etc

People that just hit hard each hit

[tidal sedge]

i'll go gavialter, thanks for the help, i'll probably write again later for some help against the boss cause i don't really know how to deal with him properly

we'll see how the run goes

[frigid kite]

[tidal sedge]

stronger medic like? Lumen or Nightingale?

[rough anvil]

Yeah those would be nice, perfumer works well too depending on how much hope you have

[tidal sedge]

my perfurmer is not leveled sadge

[rough anvil]

Meh, it's fine either way

[frigid kite]

Nightingale will do the AoE job everytime you need it

[rough anvil]

The primary reasons I fail big sad lock are either I dont have enough boss damage or I don't have enough healing and everyone dies

[supple mountain]

would schwarz or pozy be better for jt8-3 talulah?

damage wise

[rough anvil]

Likely pozy but I don't have the numbers on hand to back that claim up

[glass monolith]

(Looks on Jt8-3) Who the fuck made that layout

[proud drift]

Pozy just str8 up does more damage

[supple mountain]

honestly the layout is shit and i hate the fire balls

[proud drift]

I forgot if typewriter alone outdamages her or not

[supple mountain]

typewriter alone with pozy herself attacking someone different?

[proud drift]

Lolicon did a video recording on it

[frigid kite]

Holy sht

[proud drift]

Typewriter

[glass monolith]

This piece of shit has 1000 def the fuck

[frigid kite]

Pozymka moment

[supple mountain]

wait how much def does dormant bird mephisto have?

iirc pozy did more damage on him than schwarz don't quote me tho

[molten swan]

yep you remembered wrong

that mf has 2.65k(2.75k on h8-3) def during egg

[proud drift]

That’s a lot of def

[molten swan]

if that's the case you haven't seen shit

rat king has 3.35k def with shield up

[frigid kite]

Too bad surtr exists

[wild stream]

Hi I wanted to ask if my team is decent or improvements can be made. I've been trying to clear IC-7 on the event but still managed to fail. (I'm currently lvl 31 if that helps)

[frigid kite]

No love for ?

[wild stream]

Never enough resources

[frigid kite]

So, about your team, you're good overall just lacking good Single target caster (Like )

[wild stream]

So I should E1 her?

[frigid kite]

Later, when you got time to farm the chips etc

[tidal sedge]

@rough anvil @frigid kite do i get Ptilopsis E2 (she's M0) or Nightingale?

[frigid kite]

Now about IC-7, where do you lose and why

[wild stream]

All my casters

[frigid kite]

If you aren't sure that you can E2 Nightingale, just go Ptilopsis to assure the run

[wild stream]

Mostly when those weird mages guys arrive and then a horde comes my entire team gets demolished

[lethal dragon]

What about those archer knights with transparent shield

[frigid kite]

Steward, Amiya or Click will do, for now

[lethal dragon]

Sheeesh

[supple mountain]

holy fuck he's beefy

[glass monolith]

Died to aciddrop in 5 or so shots

[frigid kite]

Ok I guess you don't know about the gimmicks yet, ranged enemies will attack the latest deployed operator

[lethal dragon]

Lol aciddrop's true dmg

[frigid kite]

So, if you deploy the dragons first and your other operators later, they will kill all your other operators until they kill them all

Try to put the dragons as the latest

[glass monolith]

aciddrop is not true, it is superious thousand cuts

[lethal dragon]

Yeah

[frigid kite]

And aside from that, can I see the strategy you are using for the level? @wild stream

[lethal dragon]

Oh yeah about her talent dmg does it increase with atk boosts and buffs?

[frigid kite]

I've read it does

[molten swan]

It does

[rough anvil]

I would personally pick up nightingale, I think having one aoe healer for left side and one for right side is valuable

[molten swan]

Aciddrop talent basically only changes the 5% damage rule into 30-40% damage rule

Ok sleepy time bye

[wild stream]

i couldn't do it by myself and i tried KyoStinV's strategy that's somewhat like this (from his video)

[lethal dragon]

Gn

[frigid kite]

Just 1 tip, don't take Kyo's videos as a rule, try to start making your own strategies yourself if you can, you have good units for that anyways

Now let's see

[frigid kite]

Are these your ops?

[turbid badge]

do i see a..

exact replica

[wild stream]

i screenshotted them from his video

[frigid kite]

[lethal dragon]

Lol

[frigid kite]

Ok, are you making good use of the car?

[viscid sail]

would cantabile s2 be more versatile than s1?

feel like she need nino to work on her s2

[lethal dragon]

Yeah if there was one

[wild stream]

kind of?

[frigid kite]

I mean... Would be nice to see an screenshot of your own operators deployed to see in what are you failing

[lethal dragon]

I like s1 more cuz I am nino less
And it has infinite dp potential with speed buffs in Is

[chilly tinsel]

I had the same time, with a guide from him, but do not use his same characters, instead of putting characters that acumelen dp, better put damage character

[frigid kite]

Eeey el autocorrector

[wild stream]

i dont have enough sanityto do it again nor did i have screenshots beforehand

[chilly tinsel]

Uy

[frigid kite]

Alright it's ok then, try to do this, instead of Spot and Cardigan, put 2 big Ling's dragons over there after you deploy all your dps operators in

[wild stream]

only character i was copying was lava until i learned leonhardt does the same

[tidal sedge]

yeah i already got Nightingale and got her E2, this is my squad as of now, i'm mid floor 5

[wild stream]

so i shouldn't use liksarm or cuora?

[frigid kite]

No need

Ling is op

See that line over there, the car will take care of the casters

You can also add another track to the left if you want to

[chilly tinsel]

[frigid kite]

Can I see your cart parts?

[wild stream]

okay

[rough anvil]

Seems solid

[frigid kite]

Yeah man

Put the orange drill

[wild stream]

okay

[frigid kite]

The car will kill the mages in like 2 or 3 hits

[wild stream]

ooh

[frigid kite]

See, you can make your own strategies pretty easily

[wild stream]

yeah

Ty

[frigid kite]

Also read what the other parts do

Will be nice

Check missions too so you can get also the Infinite fist

[chilly tinsel]

[wild stream]

i was interested in one of them that restores 3 sp but only when it passed through a characters so i wasn't too sure about it also 80% movement speed for the car seem interesting but will it help out?

[wild stream]

okay

[chilly tinsel]

Increasing your dp, it doesn't help much at that level, you can play it without it

[frigid kite]

Yeah, try all the parts so you can see which goes better with your gameplay

[wild stream]

Okie ty for the help

[frigid kite]

Have fun

[chilly tinsel]

How is the trust increased, usually?

[frigid kite]

https://gamepress.gg/arknights/core-gameplay/arknights-guide-operator-trust

[chilly tinsel]

Thanks

[tidal sedge]

ok guys, i'm back against big sad lock, this is the squad, what should i do?

[frigid kite]

Ok

Thorns can solo left side

Saria + GG can do right side

[rough anvil]

Be careful of gg s3, I might even go s2 here

[frigid kite]

Yeah

Start with ifrit S3 + Surtr S3

Wait, better put ifrit, and then NTR

After NTR Gavialter and wait for Surtr to throw everything

[tidal sedge]

i have SP on placement, so everyone except GG S2 will have skill active as soon as they are on the field

[frigid kite]

You might kill it in 1 cycle

Oh ok

Then just throw ntr and let her waiting until you build everything up

She will be hitting the shield while thst happens anyways

Or before if you manage to put everything really fast

[tidal sedge]

should i burst everything when he has the shield or when he doesn't

[frigid kite]

I think even with shield you can burst him

[rough anvil]

I think id probably do something like

1. Wait for dp, drop Myrtle + aoe medic top left
2. Wait for mobs to spawn, throw down thorns on left, saria + gg (not hitting boss) + aoe medic on right
3. Throw everyone else at the boss
   4.???
4. Win
   I could get more in-depth but generally I just set my lanes up and then set up my boss killers

[tidal sedge]

mh ok, what's the position for Gavialter?

[frigid kite]

Left to the hole

[tidal sedge]

and thorns besides her?

both facing right

[rough anvil]

You see where all those holes are on the left? I would put her next to the holes there, facing right

So right where that bend is going into the middle

Thorns facing down

[copper scarab]

Question, with module, is tomimi Even marginally viable?

[tidal sedge]

oh ok down, so not hitting the boss

[rough anvil]

You don't really want thorns hitting boss unless you have very strong healing and no damage without him

[frigid kite]

Thorns never hitting the bear

Unless you can like permaheal

[tidal sedge]

oh ok

so that's why i always lost before

[rough anvil]

So my preferred setup is Myrtle, thorns, gavial in the row below that lone ranged tiled on the left

[tidal sedge]

ptilopsis on right or left side of the map? Nightingale will go in the other part

[rough anvil]

With an aoe medic on that lone ranged tile

I'd put whoever is squishier on the left

[tidal sedge]

ok

what about right side?

[rough anvil]

Left facing right

[tidal sedge]

saria + GG and Nightingale

[frigid kite]

No idea, there are not much Showcases on youtube, probably on Bilibili

[rough anvil]

Yeah, saria on the right lane up top, gg facing up next to her, nightingale next to gg on the left I think

You just want them to hold the lane and stay alive

[tidal sedge]

if i place nightingale to the left of GG then how am i gonna face Ifrit for Surtr?

[frigid kite]

Wait

[rough anvil]

You could lead with ifrit instead of gg, and once the ifrit/surtr skills are done you can place gg. You can also put nightingale below gg, below that unplaceable ranged tile facing up

[tidal sedge]

wouldn't ifrit attack the boss if i place her at the stars instead of GG?

[rough anvil]

Honestly I don't usually go for ifrit strats so I'm not familiar with them

[frigid kite]

That way Saria heals ifrit if necessary

[tidal sedge]

and nightingale to the left of Ifrit?

[frigid kite]

Below gg healing gg and Saria

[tidal sedge]

oh ok, i understand

[frigid kite]

If you have her with Module she will also heal ifrit

[tidal sedge]

right, i have her module

[frigid kite]

Problem solved

[tidal sedge]

perfect

ok, i have an idea of what i have to do, thanks for all the help, i'll tell you how it goes, wish me luck

[frigid kite]

Gl

[rough anvil]

Yah from there you throw surtr/ntr/jaye at boss till it dies

Good luck

[wild stream]

@frigid kite i just managed to clear ic-7 on practice mode!

[frigid kite]

Time to normal mode

It was funnier making your own strats right

[tidal sedge]

@frigid kite @rough anvil beaten him, thanks for all the tips, now i know how to beat him, very grateful to you

[frigid kite]

Gratz

[rough anvil]

🎉

[wild stream]

I'm giggling too much

Ling and the car were mowing them

[hollow notch]

IC-EX-8 question

is it just me or does basically every strat seem to revolve around killing the boss almost immediately after it spawns?

I've been struggling to do that with the DPS units I currently have (Exusiai, Passenger, Greythroat - they crack the shield but hardly do more than 20% HP damage)

I've also been relying on a Ptilopsis support unit to stay alive for that, but when sandcastles on the left start spawning, that kinda falls apart

I've also tried simply waiting the boss' route out, kill all the mobs before working on the boss, but again - the sandcastles are the worst

[frigid kite]

Yup, both are great on this event, also you unlocked a good farming spot, IC-7, IC-8 and IC-9 are the best

[wild stream]

Woohoo 🎉

For the aketons?

[frigid kite]

The thing is that the boss make the durins invisible so you can't go afk while the cars kill the durins

[hollow notch]

that's what i've noticed, yeah

[tidal sedge]

Just how strong is Mizuki that he was held back due to his archetype?

[frigid kite]

Are you willing to borrow @hollow notch ?

[analog kiln]

its just the easiest way, this boss is extremely annoying to leave alive for a while and the stage does put some pressure

besides its fairly easy to spawncamp with common borrows such as pozy

[hollow notch]

as a last resort, I could borrow pozy, ejya, or silverash from a friend yeah

but for stupid reasons (my pride as a gamer), I kinda wanted that to be the last resort

[frigid kite]

If you give up just Pozy it

Do you have Thorns?

Or Schwarz

[analog kiln]

also u mentioned using exu and GT, unless you are buffing them, theyre not gonna do much damage to the boss as it has like 800 DEF on EX8

[hollow notch]

800 DEF
oof

[hollow notch]

unfortunately, nope
none of those two

[frigid kite]

Wonder what, Exu with Module could solo it

[analog kiln]

880 on cm

[frigid kite]

Well, you can try to cope with the gimmicks while the drone goes around

[hollow notch]

right

[analog kiln]

yeah time to abuse freeze car

actually dmg car works fine too

[frigid kite]

If you're blocking the durins, dmg car would me better

[analog kiln]

ye I used dmg car

[burnt pine]

i saw an ultra low rarity using 4* only but they were e2

best way is to nuke the boss sadly

there are so much going when he spawns

[frigid kite]

@hollow notch you can also try With Thrml

[burnt pine]

imagine having thrml

[frigid kite]

Patriotless

[hollow notch]

right
yeah i've given up on doing it my way, I'm gonna try borrowing pozy for my next attempts

[burnt pine]

only have lancet man

[analog kiln]

also just saw this

mizuki isnt really that strong by himself either, archetype wasnt really an issue here actually imo

main mizuki issue is S3 is god awful, s1 and s2 are fine skills

[hollow notch]

first try with Pozy
and
what the hell-

she just destroyed the boss' shield faster than Passenger + Exia S3 + Greythroat S2

[frigid kite]

Pozymka moment

[hollow notch]

and hte boss is dead now.

Wow.

[frigid kite]

Right

Too bad we were unlucky

Anyways

Let's hope mlynar fixes it

[hollow notch]

ironic that the durin-lover is the best for killing durin-

[frigid kite]

She kidnapps them

[oak mauve]

I've been trying for a while to clear R8-8 with this team and it hasn't worked. Has the 6 star brain rot set in or am I just being dumb?

[analog kiln]

yeah watching pozy in action is something else

its very easy to forget what 140k total dmg looks like

[frigid kite]

Do you have Thorns?

[oak mauve]

No 😦 I wish

[frigid kite]

Will you borrow?

[oak mauve]

Idk if I have a friend with thorns

[frigid kite]

But do you want to borrow or no

[oak mauve]

Got one

[frigid kite]

Ok

Wait

You can also just borrow goldenglow lol

Since her S3 is global you can put her anywhere and she will do the job

[oak mauve]

Oh damn

Really?

[frigid kite]

Yeah

[oak mauve]

Thx

I'll try it

[frigid kite]

That's if you want to borrow thought

[oak mauve]

Yeah idc about repeatability rn

[frigid kite]

If you don't a strat can be made

Oh ok

Then just go with goldenglow

Share us the results

[oak mauve]

Ye thx

@frigid kite goldenglow is busted wtf

[frigid kite]

Yeah

[nimble stream]

anyone has a team for this?

they could help me make

[frigid kite]

What's your team

[nimble stream]

i can make any

ill send my box

[frigid kite]

Wow

[nimble stream]

1 sec

these are all my e2's

[frigid kite]

Ok I can see a good afk strat over there

Gimme 1 minute map ark

[nimble stream]

kk

i just also e2'd saileach if she means any help as well

[burnt pine]

u don't watch youtube ?

[nimble stream]

ur not helpful

[tidal sedge]

You dont have phones? 😄

[tidal sedge]

Yap - looking good

[frigid kite]

Thorns S3 Ifrit S2 Eyja S2 Rosmontis S2 Ethan S1 Saileach S3 Gavialter S2 Saria S1 or S2

[nimble stream]

but i dont have shaw or ethan e2

[frigid kite]

No worries

[nimble stream]

alr

[burnt pine]

[frigid kite]

Ethan is just there for the spawns

[nimble stream]

wait so

[tidal sedge]

You dont need ethan E2 - lv1 with S1 is good enough

[frigid kite]

With S1

[nimble stream]

theres arts guys

[frigid kite]

Same with squirrel

[nimble stream]

that come here

so what do i do about that

[frigid kite]

Those come on Ifrit lane

Not left

Eyja S2 + Ifrit will take care

[nimble stream]

but ah

[frigid kite]

And Ethan S1 is art

Ethan has an unique propiety

The thing is

[burnt pine]

i watched 4 anni 14 clears and didn't see a single squirrel
am i turning blind ?

[frigid kite]

That ethan DoT destroys everything

Rosmontis helps

[nimble stream]

what happens when ethan isnt leveld

[frigid kite]

And Shaw is for if someome leaks

[nimble stream]

[frigid kite]

Nothing

Just S1 L4

[burnt pine]

are we memeing here

[frigid kite]

Oh and use Saileach S3 if there are a lot coming

[turbid badge]

doesnt matte

[nimble stream]

does shaw

need to be e1

or

@frigid kite

[frigid kite]

S1 L4 works too

[burnt pine]

holy did u buy the account or what ?

[ashen axle]

It helpsbif higher level

[burnt pine]

why are u asking basic questions ?

[frigid kite]

You can add also Skalter S3 if you want to

[nimble stream]

no

[frigid kite]

Relax

Its ok

[nimble stream]

i just barely play

[burnt pine]

[ashen axle]

If u happen to have Weedy e1 she can work

Use s2 in shaw’s plce

Levels aren’t needed

[nimble stream]

so what other units

do i use

[burnt pine]

saw podenco having a good combo with ethan also shirayuki

[frigid kite]

Nothing

Add wathever you want

[nimble stream]

kk

[frigid kite]

I'd pick surtr if something comes out of control

[ashen axle]

Blaz better in Gavial’s place imo

[burnt pine]

some of the leftover mobs are really tanky and are easy to leak

i call them the plates

[nimble stream]

kk

[burnt pine]

they will come also by the right lane where shaw isn't there so u might want to add in podenco to burn them

just in case

[frigid kite]

Probably

[nimble stream]

so something like this

[frigid kite]

I like more the spanish way, "Apariciones"

[burnt pine]

sry me no habla espanol

[frigid kite]

Muy mal

[burnt pine]

what are the level requirement for a 5* module ?

so 4* is 40 5* is 50 and 6* is 60 ?

[frigid kite]

50 5* 60 6*

[nimble stream]

this what im doing rn

[frigid kite]

Yup

[nimble stream]

rosmonstis aoe

jesus

[frigid kite]

Right

[nimble stream]

she is used for drone killing

[deep frigate]

[nimble stream]

what do i do about these tea cups

[frigid kite]

Let those go

[nimble stream]

ah kk

ethan gets em

[frigid kite]

Yup

The trick for that afk is playing with the timers

[nimble stream]

ah

[frigid kite]

You'll notice when the hellbard guys come in

[deep frigate]

That’s this “Ethan” thing you speak of

[burnt pine]

man didn't even respect ethan and left him lvl 1

[frigid kite]

[nimble stream]

he still does his job

[burnt pine]

the issue starts at 370 i think

[frigid kite]

If something happens use Surtr

[nimble stream]

[frigid kite]

Remove myrtle

[nimble stream]

i did lol

[frigid kite]

Oh i guess you deployed Ptilopsis

Ok

[nimble stream]

ye

zarya

saria*

and blaze both almost died

[proud drift]

Huh

To who

[frigid kite]

I guess Saria isn't M3

[nimble stream]

the stupid lamp enemies

[nimble stream]

no her skill 3 is m3

[proud drift]

The throwing dudes?

[nimble stream]

run died

before 370

[frigid kite]

Sad

Where did you lose?

[nimble stream]

too many orange dragon cups

for thorns

[frigid kite]

I see

Ok try this

When that happens

Remove Saileach and put Surtr

Let Surtr for a while until the last orange dragon appears or until surtr dies

[nimble stream]

kk

where would i put surtr

[nimble stream]

ah

kk

[frigid kite]

Guys

Horn works better than Thorns over there?

@nimble stream btw, if another dragon comes after Surtr is gone, put Myrtle as bait

[nimble stream]

hai taichou

[frigid kite]

So, @nimble stream how did it go?

[mild galleon]

[proud drift]

Thanik jumpscare

[neon thicket]

does anyone have a plan to beat the last boss in intgreated strategy a picture of opreators placement for example might help

[proud drift]

below 50% it gets a lot of resistances afaik

and damage

so you wanna make sure it dies asap once below 50%

I've heard and seen people that "just surtr" is often enough, supposingly

stuff like surtr, NTR

silverash even

[neon thicket]

I just beat him. one time because I got lucky I got the relic that makes caster gain sp when attacking and I had passenger so I kept spamming his skill until the stage got deleted

[neon thicket]

my surtr is maxed and it's not enough

he moves and when he reach her he just use his crwonslayer ability and pass her

if she didn't get stunned by the sarkas enemies ofc I delete them with my exusia but still he's so annoying

[cursive wedge]

def down relics are good

[chilly tinsel]

How could I defeat him?

[verbal thunder]

Need help with the new anni, this is what i have, up to date
https://krooster.com/u/Lux

[chilly tinsel]

He is always alive

[rough rampart]

how did u even manage to clear it

[chilly tinsel]

I used a youtube video

It was pretty easy

[rough rampart]

i tried it twice and gave up

[chilly tinsel]

I got it with that team.

Some you can't even use

[verbal thunder]

Borrow a S3M3 chalter, she should be enough to just destroy the two phases. Also, huh, i hope you're using a lot of low rarity because of lack of alternatives rather than just trying to follow whatever guide you're using literally

[chilly tinsel]

I don't have many, characters that can help me

As I want to finish this event, I use what I can

[frigid kite]

Sup

Did it already?

[frigid kite]

Can I see your deployments

[shut siren]

I just started playing again and i got carnelia like 2 pulls in is she any good

[frigid kite]

Well at least you got her in only 2 pulls

[chilly tinsel]

Spanish?

[shut siren]

Can i replace amiya for her?

[storm current]

Not really

They are different type of caster basicallu

[frigid kite]

In resume, she's a Phalanx caster, thst means she has a shield an actually good Resistance and doesn't attack, her niche is doing burst damage, which she does, but the damage is actually pretty low... For the time you have to wait

Better using other things

Specially if you're new

[frigid kite]

Como pusiste tus operadores en el mapa

[chilly tinsel]

Yase

Quería saber si hablas español xd

Me es más fácil

[frigid kite]

Si pero por acá se escribe en ingles bro sorry, es una regla xD

[shut siren]

What about click? Could i replace him since hes a 4 star

[chilly tinsel]

Yase, solo quería saber se pueden enviar link se videos?

[frigid kite]

Click is good for various things (its a she btw), her drones can make a mini stun to the enemies they are attacking, making them cancel their attack, good for slow attacking bosses, her damage is actually pretty good too but only when her skill is active

[chilly tinsel]

https://youtu.be/0bF3344Sy3g

[frigid kite]

Yeah levels matter, a lot

[shut siren]

Ohh right sorry 😭 tyy

[frigid kite]

But I think that if you E1 55 Kroos + Orchid you'll be able to kill the boss

[frigid kite]

No worries lol

You can also make the thing do a circle

[chilly tinsel]

Kroos I have it to the maximum, orchid lacks the level

[verbal thunder]

No

[frigid kite]

Orchid E1 55 slows more

It's pretty noticeable

[frigid kite]

Alright, how are your deployments on the Annihilation?

[chilly tinsel]

I didn't know the truth, if I looked at what a buffo gave him, but I didn't know what was so remarkable.

Thanks

[frigid kite]

Every 3* has one, it's like a remembrance of E2 for them

[chilly tinsel]

Is it worth uploading?

[frigid kite]

Upgrading* xD uploading es más bien cuando vas a subir un archivo

[storm current]

Oui

[frigid kite]

And yes

[chilly tinsel]

A cierto, hace mucho que no practico el inglés, se me olvidaron cosas

😔

[shut siren]

Is the pink hair sniper girl good? I think her name is poze something

[frigid kite]

One of the best units in the game

[proud drift]

imagine schwarz

now double that

[storm current]

Oh wait my bad

[shut siren]

Ohhh okay tyy

[storm current]

sí

[turbid badge]

hola

[chilly tinsel]

Nos van a funar si hablamos español 😔

[frigid kite]

I think teta doesn't speak spanish

[jade stag]

Is there a good support unit to deal woth the top lane of M8-6?

[verbal thunder]

The usual, ethan with shaw in left, cliff with hole duty... My issue is mostly i can't figure out how to make the middle survive the last 100 waves, recently tested la pluma and Thorns with def buff from shining in those two tiles next to the red boxes, but didn't work.

[frigid kite]

Surtr

Horn

[storm current]

@jade stag can you show the map again

Is that the one with a bunch of shieldguard

[frigid kite]

It's the rosmontis map yeah

[jade stag]

Yes

[storm current]

Horn thorns will take care them mostly

But you still need to stall the soldier or buff/heal the shieldguard if you want to get the medal

[frigid kite]

Try this

Put Horn all below

[storm current]

I meant the secret

[frigid kite]

Wait let me open the map @verbal thunder

[storm current]

Oh yea

I think fiametta can reach the top i think

But not sure

[storm current]

Fiametta definigely can reach

At the bottom right corner face up

[jade stag]

Huh

[storm current]

Then a medic next to her to heal fiametta and the defender you use to tank the thrower

A modded ptilo work too

[jade stag]

My defenders and healers are all E1

[frigid kite]

@verbal thunder try to do something like this

[jade stag]

My Cuora needs like two healers if no skills are on

[storm current]

Do you have castle

He will help a lot for the last wave where red version of soldier come

Since at max pot he can buff all shieldguard defense by 20%

[frigid kite]

Alright new stages out

[woeful igloo]

where does mini spawn in the mo stage

[storm current]

What mini

[turbid badge]

probably minimalist

[storm current]

No boss in MO

[glass monolith]

THERE IS FUCKING BOSS IN MO?

[turbid badge]

[chilly tinsel]

[turbid badge]

[glass monolith]

FUCK YOU S1 MAKES THEM DODGE FOR 2 MINUTES?

[royal knoll]

wtf? i just used my sanity because they weren't unlocked a few hours ago

[sour steppe]

because they unlocked have a hour

imagine reading the event

[royal knoll]

i don't know what time zone it's in

[royal knoll]

isn't that your own timezone?

[glass monolith]

[royal knoll]

i didn't know that

ty

[tidal sedge]

why are you still using phys in IC 2 weeks into the event

[glass monolith]

Because i don't fucking have arts 1 year into game outside of goldenglow?

[burnt pine]

not even mousse ?

[tidal sedge]

don't have or haven't built?

you don't have 6* caster besides gg sure

but not like they're the only arts units

[glass monolith]

Goldenglow Guardbnuuy Indigo M9 Gladiia, all my build sources of arts

[tidal sedge]

no lappland?

[turbid badge]

me who uses weedy s3

[burnt pine]

the event is like 1 week long
so early to lament

[burnt pine]

am i reading this correctly

[sour steppe]

thats such a blatant lie since Amiya is given to everyone lmao

[pastel crystal]

How can I improve my team? I've swapped out a few characters, tried stacking healers around mages in 5-8, but the swarm of tanks at the end still deletes me.

https://imgur.com/a/bdsior8

[burnt pine]

the answer is always
silverdaddy

put him here
and let exu kill the last one

[pastel crystal]

He unfortunately got obliterated by the wall of tanks and the auto-arrow hitting him. I tried to place him outside the arrows range, but they circumvent him

Oh, right next to the enemy spawn?

Should I place a healer across from him, then?

[burnt pine]

yeah that or the tile behind it

[pastel crystal]

Okidoke

[burnt pine]

u should have half ur party there yes

healer aoe caster

[pastel crystal]

Mostly just worried about the arrow placed there in front of the spawn, as it out dps'd Gavial's heal and dropped Nearl

I'll keep trying

[burnt pine]

no sus is kinda sadge in some situations

use silence ?

and gumi S1 ofc

[jovial nest]

It always shows the timezone of the game

so any news with time in it, use ingame's time

[pastel crystal]

I beat it, but only 2 stars. As soon as all the tanks flood out, Nearl is done in and a tank got through unfortunately

Those arrows deal a lot of damage for some reason

[burnt pine]

never used gavial so i have no idea how she performs

i think silence or hibiscus might be a lot better not sure on this

[turbid badge]

ah the casters are so annoying

[pastel crystal]

I'm running off light remembrance of 2 years ago. Just downloaded the game after so long, so definitely lost on what to use/What I'm even using

[burnt pine]

yeah i think u have much better healing options than gavial

[turbid badge]

i wish i had czerny for these casters lmfao

not built moment

[burnt pine]

also try to invest into silverdaddy and exu more
s3m3 for both

[pastel crystal]

I've promoted both to max, Silver Ash skills are 7 while Exusai's skill 4

[jovial nest]

should I just defend these spots?

And I'm guessing I'm bringing 3 Flagbearers due to anni DP restrictions and 2-car setups

[burnt pine]

did u see oyu positioning ?
he is kinda genius for it

[jovial nest]

not yet. I tend to go for my own flavors first

either way

[burnt pine]

yeah they both need masteries to shine
exu is still e1 too so not even S3 for her yet

[jovial nest]

Since those spots are also good directional arrows

i might let the car move around those corner spots

[turbid badge]

3? :o

[storm current]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586588958885150721/1068490649743151164/image.png

[burnt pine]

yeah u can do whatever u like and it will work eventually if u have omega cracked characters not like mine trying to do it with 2 6*

[turbid badge]

lmao

just chargw tih sp

sp car

[proud drift]

Btw you sent me the homework

Uh

[storm current]

nah

[proud drift]

Should I do fia spawnkilling somewhere

[storm current]

my clear bad

[proud drift]

Oh

[jovial nest]

Like this?

[proud drift]

[storm current]

i got 395

leak to the red car

since i didnt perma freeze them

[royal knoll]

try something like this

[proud drift]

Just surtr it

[pastel crystal]

Who might the pumpkinhead be?

[proud drift]

Kroos

[pastel crystal]

Aah, okay. Thank you

[royal knoll]

replace her with exu, my exu is too high level

[pastel crystal]

Alright

[burnt pine]

kroos might be better
i think he might swap jessica for exu but still low skill level

[royal knoll]

kroos is better than jessica

[burnt pine]

did i say otherwise ?

[jovial nest]

Damn....that looks genius since making the 2 lanes ACTUAL ROADS defend itself

[royal knoll]

oh

im dumb

[glass monolith]

S-2 is not even that hard

Wait, which 4 tiles

CM IS IMPOSSIBLE

[storm current]

S-2 is hard for me

[burnt pine]

if u have all the cracked characters i guess

[storm current]

like

hard enough that i have to use ling level of hard

[glass monolith]

Gladiia, Surtr, Sample text

[burnt pine]

yeah u need ling or kalsit surtr and a strong lane holder like thorns

[storm current]

nope thorns die

not enough atk

who could have guessed

[proud drift]

Lolicon you used perfumer to heal ling dragon, can I just skalter

[storm current]

ye

[jovial nest]

Wait they just want us to use fully-geared cars and clear it vanilla-style?

[proud drift]

Or is the balloon car gonna kill her

[storm current]

its mainly to keep ling alive

[proud drift]

Oh

[storm current]

nah shes out of the car range

[proud drift]

What about the chads

[jovial nest]

Damn....a massive change to SN where they make you remove buffs in Rhoomba

[storm current]

you will be fine

perfumer is afk

for skalter you need to use seaborn

[proud drift]

I’m guessing you used myrtle to start?

[storm current]

uh

which one are you talking about

the freeze

or the global car strat

[proud drift]

The cars

Anni

[burnt pine]

waiting for kyo to post a low rarity clear i m kinda out of hope

[proud drift]

The one that clears anni

[jovial nest]

Oh I think I'll be going with SP parts for anni

[proud drift]

[jovial nest]

I got some good ideas of making Mudrock S2 be an arrow

[storm current]

MO is the easiest one

S2 is ass

[bright swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXS7Dt2e8vc

[glass monolith]

7 6*s incoming

[storm current]

wait

S1 is easier

[bright swan]

Can I replace Blaze as Thorn?

[jovial nest]

hahahahahahhaha

you can't replace any of those chars

[burnt pine]

oh wait a sec dr leon posted something

[bright swan]

lmao you can

[jovial nest]

yeah its called 3 ops to even come close to replacing Thorns

[turbid badge]

momen time

[burnt pine]

ultra low rarity btw i guess i can cope by borrowing a surtr

[royal knoll]

how'd you get the cars to the second lane?

oh wait i see it

[royal knoll]

yea

i saw

[glass monolith]

ling abuse

[proud drift]

So it’s just

3 pioneers

A dragon + woman healer

And that’s it?

[random light]

i dont remember when the last time use ling for event stage

[turbid badge]

purstreams heal is so thick

[storm current]

you also need surtr to nuke the surfer

[turbid badge]

imagine

[proud drift]

Is ling not enough to kill surfers?

[storm current]

ling can deploy 1 every 18s

an surfer spawn multiple at once

[proud drift]

Oh

[turbid badge]

thickl

[verbal thunder]

Had to rework some stuff in other places i thought were good enough but weren't (mainly left side, turns out GG S2 wasn't really enough to help clearing all the trash waves in the left side, so E1'd Aosta, and also tried some other options for the top lanes). But overall all went well, so thanks.

[glass monolith]

4 attempts of S-1 CM, First try S-2 CM

[turbid badge]

oh shi

the buggies invisible

[glass monolith]

CARS CAN"T TRAVEL FENCED TILES?

[tidal sedge]

What a pain....

[glass monolith]

Even fucking roomba can do that

[tidal sedge]

Kind of rarity abuse... I am wondering about the low level stuff

[glass monolith]

Oh god S-3 is cancer for me

[random light]

Invis truck is fun in S-3

[glass monolith]

or to be more exact, cancer AGAINST me

[turbid badge]

holy shi

That was scary

hoshi died so it means its scary

[hazy totem]

Dp battery went brrrrrrrrr

With 0 flagbearer

[turbid badge]

siege???

ayooot

[glass monolith]

How the fuck one do S-3

[random light]

Silverash lappland and hoshi to bait caster beach dude

for CM stage only

plus car movement

[glass monolith]

Sounds like something smart, mean i will suck at it

[random light]

stairs from behind life seal

the caster guy wont go from behind

[glass monolith]

i'm dead set on finding way to spawn kill that stage

[burnt pine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jgr37nzvOfM
guys i used this guide but my shaw didn't push the surfer enough for surtr to hit

used her S2 level 4

am i missing something

[random light]

Someone made route like this

[wind silo]

just level her skill easy

I already maxed my shaw

To lebel 7

[burnt pine]

or pushing strength depends on her skill level ?

[random light]

if anything just hold left side

[wind silo]

It depends on her skill level

You didn't read skill description

Reminds me of someone

[random light]

not muffin?

[wind silo]

@wind silo this guy

Wait

[dapper meadow]

ok, after forgetting what day Trials for Navigator ended (and finishing it with 7 minutes before it ended), im not doing that again. IC-S-1→4 CM and IC-MO-1 are done. No more waiting till the literal last minute

[glass monolith]

I love how those casters can kill Fia from across the contitent

[burnt pine]

well for me it says 相当の力で because
jp spy u know

it is written in blue also

[glass monolith]

This even caster is 3.5 fias

[burnt pine]

nothing changes

[random light]

cant read

[proud drift]

how does hg consistently make basic caster enemy the most difficult one

[glass monolith]

Push force changes on specific levels, not literally every level

[wind silo]

Lecbcfel 7

[burnt pine]

isn't 7 expensive

[random light]

Lingering echoes deal splash damage. even better than RI splash caster

[royal knoll]

maybe for some newer players but generally not really

[burnt pine]

yeah she needs 7 holy

why are they forcing us to max her skill

this is oppression

[storm current]

Consider S stage are supposed to be harder than EX

[glass monolith]

Don't tell him he need M3 for whatever he trying to do

[fair pasture]

nah in vid Shaw is e1

[turbid badge]

do u have normal ch'en?

i used her to murder all 4 casters instantly

and bursted down all of the cars/mobs with passenger s3and than another aoe caster at the end

[fair pasture]

back in gnosis event some missions required # of pushing, I saw some comments saying e2 Shaw overkill. Mine still e0

[glass monolith]

My Chen is not leveled enough or Module or whatever i seen to S2M3 them instantly

[turbid badge]

u can try to see if she gets them low

[glass monolith]

Okay, what attack them afterwards?

[turbid badge]

idk improvise ,

i used april

[fair pasture]

l. ol

[turbid badge]

actually u can just surte them

if u have surtr

💀

or horn from distance

[fair pasture]

I saw a defenderknight for s-3 and no I’m good

I don’t have horn

[glass monolith]

Fuck my life S2M3 Fia leaves them on 1 hp too

[turbid badge]

i tried rosa but she gets hit since there range is humungous

[glass monolith]

i don't want to fried support Horns

[full finch]

fried support horns

[turbid badge]

than again i think if u search hard enough you can probably find something like a surtr and car only clear

[random light]

Caster in IC can physical dodge or no

[turbid badge]

None

[glass monolith]

They can mentally hurn

[turbid badge]

how funny

OH WAIT

u can use the car

and push them and use explosion too

that should kill them all

well until the big guy comes

[cursive wedge]

s3
is
rly
annoying

[turbid badge]

gonna have to divert path

[cursive wedge]

[turbid badge]

wait nvm

it goes before casters move

so kinda pog

[glass monolith]

WHY THERE IS RUSHING WHISKEY AT END?

[tidal sedge]

I did it... and Surtr saved the day 😄

[lost aurora]

holly cow

[glass monolith]

i need fucking astgenne for this shit

WAIT

CODE RED

[turbid badge]

code yelow

[glass monolith]

Invisible rushing whiskeys

at least not invisible casters

[turbid badge]

cc 10 is like really soon right

[glass monolith]

fuck you S-3 CM is my CC 10

[daring prawn]

[random light]

Is this the whiskey

[full finch]

yeah, that's a whiskey-grade waker upper

[bright swan]

@glass monolith do you have mousse raised

[turbid badge]

[glass monolith]

i have fried surtr

I dont feel good about using her 3 times in 2 stages but well

[shut siren]

https://youtu.be/KCyV69FRwDE im trying to recreate the strategy kyostin did with shaw at 2:05 but its not working, was it patched or am i doing something wrong

[bright swan]

What's your skill level on Shaw?

[glass monolith]

Make sure you have skill level 7 for push force

[shut siren]

oh thats probably why, ty guys

[bright swan]

It's 4 I believe

[glass monolith]

Oh fuck off why some are 7 and some are 4

[bright swan]

non e1 moment

[elder flume]

some are m3

[bright swan]

I have done that stage with e0 shaw, so I believe it's 4

[glass monolith]

Thresholds:
lvl 4
Lvl 7
m1
m3
And for some fucking reason S2M2 Weedy

[sharp scroll]

How to beat ic s 2 with this ops? I used czerny for bottom left lane but he gets rekt once the big car arrives. Having troubles on the right side too

[bright swan]

@glass monolith but again do you have Mousse raised

[glass monolith]

I will

eventually

Let me check queue

[flat sapphire]

Wasn't weedy s2m2 just for cc4?

[storm current]

You mean s1

[flat sapphire]

Yeh whichever it was for golem lol

[storm current]

Theres literally no point at stopping at m2 for s2 since it get +1 force at m3

[glass monolith]

Firewatch E2 -> S2M1, April E2 -> M3, Sora E2 -> M3, Lee E2, Siege E2, AlligAlter E2, Gladiia module 2....

Mousse somewhere after that

Unless at that point i will be busy M9ing Stainless

[turbid badge]

wtf

sora m3?

or is that m3 lee

[glass monolith]

The fuck with Minimalist on S-4? Did he took the lesson and ate armor plate?

[turbid badge]

[bright swan]

why s2m2?

[glass monolith]

Because it is +1 range threshold

[bright swan]

and they want to keep enemy seperate?

or I am confused

[full finch]

now that I think about it
an enemy that avoids only direct damage would be cool

make AoE skills useful

[tidal sedge]

no it would be annoying because you need other enemies to damage it

[elder flume]

ethanable

[tidal sedge]

okay if there's a bunch of really tanky other enemies ig

[jovial nest]

More and more i'm realizing that Spelter is never leaving my comps

she's close to an immortal-lite Surtr you can drop anywhere but also a laner

it's so valuable

[turbid badge]

yeah

shes pretty good going in blind runs

[jovial nest]

also did S-1 CM just crank up the population?!

Spelter doll with Gavialter. Good luck, drunks

[tidal sedge]

ye it adds 40 extra of the trash mob iirc

[jovial nest]

yeah the final extras all came in like an ACTUAL zerg rush strat

you really need to use cars or else your arts DPS is gonna be busy

cause the drunks come in on the NOT-Ifrit lane

unfonrtunately

[tidal sedge]

ye

[jovial nest]

Ifrit lane. Sadly the drunks don't go there

[tidal sedge]

why not just put her above car launcher facing down

[jovial nest]

you can do this but it's risky

[storm current]

You cant do that lol

[jovial nest]

cause the Volleyballers spawn at top

[storm current]

[jovial nest]

so i didn't

[storm current]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/669489344658014208/1068432220978683904/image.png

[turbid badge]

lmao i just passengered s3d everything too with car help

[jovial nest]

i guess Godsengger wouldn't care for the extra 40 zerg rush if he has skill up

[storm current]

Nah

[jovial nest]

I have no Godsengger so I just use Eyja S2 and GG S3

[storm current]

I just use him to actually kill the car

Since they are too tanky

[turbid badge]

physical damage bad!!

[jovial nest]

S, H, and EX maps (that use sanity) are the only time I can let loose my entire roster firepower so I never go low ops-like

[jovial nest]

nah

you just don't have enough of it (non-dodge enemies)

but anyways i love that the ASPD part in the carts makes GG even more potent

[glass monolith]

Man this event S stages are like actually exciting

Not NL-S-5 when you just point 3 snipers at red box and leave

Why of all things in world THIS is S-4 CM condition?

[jovial nest]

I have yet to still go to the 2-4. But I hope it's as exciting as the Dossoles' S maps

[elder flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFl2XeB07eU&ab_channel=RainC

[jovial nest]

cause they knew it would make people sweat?

oh ok

drunks DO go to the bot lane

[elder flume]

somehow bottom side leaked

[jovial nest]

it's just that they die too fast

[glass monolith]

||Minimalist phase 2 unstuns faster||

[jovial nest]

for me to not realize

[jovial nest]

sounds like not a problem with what i use to kill that boss

[glass monolith]

This is my issue with that CM, he literally walks into roadkill collab fron unstun

S-4 is joke outside of spawnkilling phase 1 of boss because shield actually exists now

[surreal relic]

They all walk upwards anyways so you can just perma-freeze top lane instead

[glass monolith]

WHY I KNOW THIS ONLY NOW?

[turbid badge]

LMFAO

nice to know..

💀

[jovial nest]

What a useless button. But I guess they can't be assed to remove this UI just for MOs

wait they can...

it exists in Tutorials

[jovial nest]

there's also zerg rushes on bot lane

but i guess that can be solved by Ifrit tile

[surreal relic]

They all walk towards top lane
You can just place the three one-way roads and activate the car launcher and the map is over

[jovial nest]

well try it then. Cause my CM clear of it had zerg rushes on bot

AND top

they equalize

go ahead and only freeze top lane tho

i don't know if its different for each person
