strategy

[deep drum]

whats the hp of drone in IC-S-4? I feel like it got more higher than in IC-EX-8

[sleek rune]

just do this lol cleared it with no operators

dusk is just chilling

[jovial nest]

yeah I'm too busy in completing IS2 still. So don't have the time to revisit and abuse

[jovial nest]

have you tried that in CM?

[sleek rune]

yeah someone did that in cm

and cleared it with just jessica

[surreal relic]

My image above is the same thing in CM

Everything walks towards top lane and gets frozen there

[elder flume]

IC S4 vs IC EX8

[deep drum]

WTF

[sleek rune]

we are witnessing history rn the wakeuppers are getting low

[deep drum]

aint no way im beating this

[sleek rune]

the buggies are half hp

[deep drum]

my max chalter is too slow for this

[sleek rune]

you have to use pozy i think

for that

[glass monolith]

Local durin walks onto tracks and fucking dies, 2023 colourized

[deep drum]

and a max pozy literally shreds it

[jovial nest]

Chalter ain't the best option to kill that boss

Poze is hilariously enough

[sleek rune]

its pozy isnt it

[deep drum]

pozy literally powercreeps every sniper

🗿

[glass monolith]

E2 60 Pozy Module 3 M3 Warf M3 Shamare M3 Gladiia S3M3 because i am not taking a single fucking chance

Because i am 0 training plans since S-3

[sleek rune]

kinda wish mylnar was released before ic

so i can put him

and just watch him read a newspaper

[deep drum]

literally has the atk speed of exu/ash got the high damage of schwarz and the def shred of chalter

🗿

[jovial nest]

she's flexible but cuts down on the overspecialization of some of those you mentioned

[deep drum]

yup

that part as well

flexible

[sleek rune]

its been 19 minutes

[jovial nest]

Marksmen are really no longer the top dogs unless you're still leaking drones like a MOFO

[deep drum]

and I forgot the globul range thats like the same as ambriel and farthooth

[jovial nest]

hell I haven't used marksmen for a LONG time

Chalter has the slow aspect and true AOE

and also ammo-system being a well-paced nuke

[sleek rune]

finally i actually progressed

[deep drum]

speed, crits, shred, globul range

[jovial nest]

thats not tied to timing

[deep drum]

the only thing lacking is aoe

we dont need aoe

thats enough already

[jovial nest]

and Schwarz.....I guess unless you go to a DEF so high that Schwarz wins over Poze, it's no longer ideal to use Schwarz anyways

[deep drum]

rip bozo

[jovial nest]

so that to me is the true loss

[deep drum]

atleast SA got utility to cover his ass from uncle horse coming soon

[jovial nest]

SA will never be removed as long as massive-range true sight and his redep talent isn't dethroned

but his overall being "brought" is so rare

[deep drum]

[jovial nest]

until Mlynar

wherein having a stronger TSS becomes an overpowered staple again

[deep drum]

are we sure pozy isnt a limited?

[jovial nest]

dude we have multiple ops WITH limited ops in banner that's stronger than the limited

Saga

Mudrock

Poze

[deep drum]

[jovial nest]

Kal

although it depends on people if Skalter or Kal is the winner

for me it's Skalter

[deep drum]

then we have limited thats like a 5* without modules

spec :l

ros

[jovial nest]

since when was ros a 5*?

[deep drum]

nah

[turbid badge]

they probably mean feel like 5 star

[deep drum]

im saying is like those limited fells like 5*

ye that

[jovial nest]

dude Ros doesn't feel like a 5*

have you used a 5* that ain't Specter/Elysium/Cantabile,etc.?

[deep drum]

ah yes

[turbid badge]

[deep drum]

tomimi

[turbid badge]

will u get her module

[deep drum]

bibeak

sesa

[jovial nest]

yeah, Rosmontis doesn't feel like a 5*

[deep drum]

indra

[jovial nest]

her S3 is so good

[deep drum]

guess ill give her another try

ima just be overlooking her

[turbid badge]

yeah its pretty good dps if u get 2 pillars down on enemy

[jovial nest]

that reminds me

once Il Siracusano is done in global

I need to invest on Ceobe S2M3

having a stronger option for Arts nuking that's just not Surtr is welcome

It doesn't feel too good to use Eyja S3 or Ifrit S3 (unless -ASPD is a thing) for high-DEF boss nuking anymore

[turbid badge]

lmao

Texas alter muke

[lost aurora]

hell?

help????

[jovial nest]

dude that should be ez

[lost aurora]

i got defeated

idk how

[jovial nest]

keep trying

[deep drum]

texas alter also got debuff...

hmmmm

[jovial nest]

Texas S2M3 is more like a debuff

you want

with your arts nuke

her exploding arts is a bonus

the boss is weak af if Texter S2 can kill the boss solo

[turbid badge]

lul

[deep drum]

Saria, Ifrit, Texas, Surtr, Skalter, Aak, Shining,

new buff knights....

🗿

[turbid badge]

huh

[jovial nest]

Aak Shining meta is old school

by this point only Surtr is now the favored target for Aak

[deep drum]

add the donke, elysium and exploding robot on the mix

suppose what replace that now?

[jaunty hinge]

Oh my god TRULY the hardest content on AK

[civic nest]

wouldn’t suzuran and saria deal much more damage and less slot

[lost aurora]

i really have hard time on noir one ._.

[jaunty hinge]

Just go on YouTube

[deep drum]

guess so

[jaunty hinge]

[deep drum]

its for like everyone nuking the boss at this point

like we have texas and surtr

its like an overkilled talulah speedrun

[lapis mauve]

Can eyja kill red tank vehicle in one skill activation ?

[glass monolith]

MO is 0 sanity stage

[jovial nest]

damn, S-2 is like a puzzle stage

feels very R8-8

i need another practice run

[sleek rune]

[dapper meadow]

replace Surtr or Chalter with Poz for support unit? Who do yall think would have higher demand? Only reason i might swap Poz is nobody else on friends list has her at max lvl/mod3/pots yet. Who'd yall rather have for clearing all the IC-S stages?

[solar spindle]

pozy

since s4 have boss

[glass monolith]

397 on first try

Didn't expect that hardcore surfer placement on 350

[rose patrol]

The S stages are brutal

[jovial nest]

Ok I finally got a good flow of S-2

you really want a runway freed fast

or else the Casters really fry peeps

unless you got a Chalter ready to nuke from there

which i do not want

Mountain once again getting prominence over Thorns as a starter since he works better for drunk lanes

[glass monolith]

Hardest part of stage is to not fall asleep to kill surfers at time

[jovial nest]

is that double goddamn overcharger?

nah

white colored

can anyone show me the tile bans in S2?

[glass monolith]

It bans surfers tiles

[jovial nest]

that's it?

LMAO

I never used those

practice CM

easily cleared

my normal clear strats worked well in it

what did people do to need those surfer tiles anyway?

what 0-range arts did people use?

[glass monolith]

Surtr

[jovial nest]

she has range....

and the surfers are apart enough that she can't hit 2 anyway

[glass monolith]

She can kill both

[jovial nest]

she cannot

[glass monolith]

My S-2 is Gladiia dragging ass of second surfer closer

[jovial nest]

lulz

well that cheese of yours didn't work in CM huh?

i just went old school and dropped Eyja S3 and Ceo S2

alongside Gnosis S3

[glass monolith]

Uh.... That time I just had to have Surtr suffer with both instead 1

[jovial nest]

yeah i went with slower nukings separately

[glass monolith]

Small placement change and instead of shipping cars on bot I shipped them on top

[jovial nest]

there's enough arts ranged nukes anyway

GG near a ran-over ground ops and Mountain is proving to be real nice in these

[shell arch]

Weird question but is 750phy atk good in general?

[jovial nest]

I don't think I can answer that considering my rarity aboos

i would just compare it to every laner

[shell arch]

I mean the context was about 4block mod3 hoshi s2m3 lvl90 p5 so

[jovial nest]

750 is pretty low

we talking ST or AOE?

[rose patrol]

Feels like S-4 is much easier than the 3 previous S stages tbh

[shell arch]

Does hoshi s2 count as st or aoe

[cyan gorge]

How tf are you supposed to do IC-S-2?

[jovial nest]

they nerf a ton of gimmicks to make way for boss

[jovial nest]

clear top lane's surfers

[proud drift]

yes.

[jovial nest]

and then let the cart flow towards caster lane

there's an arrow there showing

that you want to make carts go there

or else the Casters will keep bullying

top is the best spot to do it

cause it also deals with volleyballs

[cyan gorge]

Surt is the only means of killing surfers I have

[jovial nest]

you have no other arts?

no Gnosis, no Eyja, no Ceobe?

hell, Steward

[cyan gorge]

by second best option is Rockrock

[jovial nest]

well

[proud drift]

[jovial nest]

make do

[cyan gorge]

[jovial nest]

use her to kill the 2nd top surfer

[proud drift]

what about the damage reduction

[jovial nest]

Then she'd be comparing herself to Mudrock or Spelter

[proud drift]

no I mean the surfer damage reduction

[midnight falcon]

Damn S-2 is being a bitch

[cyan gorge]

also the strat I had before also fails cause the water truck spawns in bottom lane and I don't have anyone that can reasonably 1v1 it

[jovial nest]

i never ever blocked them

pure patience

[jovial nest]

how undercooked is your pool?

Cause S maps aren't a joke

they're harder than EXs imo

as per what happened in Dossoles and NL

[cyan gorge]

E2 50 average levels

[jovial nest]

just show screenshot of your top levels

[midnight falcon]

My problem is I can deal with one but not 3 fucking enraged bitchlappers

[jovial nest]

carts stop carrying the moment surfers are involved

who do you borrow?

[midnight falcon]

Bagpipe for opening, can do without her

[jovial nest]

you have to try to not do so

cause Bagpipe ain't carrying the problems later in the map

like the water cannons

or surfers

[cyan gorge]

Pozy is my most invested besides Fia

[jovial nest]

i meant pool

not team

[cyan gorge]

oh

[jovial nest]

ok ONE RECOMMENDATION

stop leveling AFTER e2 60

anything above that means

you have E2 60'd everyone you want

[proud drift]

unless waifu purposes

[cyan gorge]

pretty much all my E2s

[midnight falcon]

Any reccomendation for the borrow instead of Bagpipe?

[proud drift]

do you not have a 6* caster

that isn't mostima?

[jovial nest]

NGL I have no idea. Gnosis is a recommendation for me near a laner

cause his S3 deals with Surfers behind him

and water cannons in front of him

either way

your pool has a lot of.....

non-carries

Fia and Archetto are more like IS or anni strats

[proud drift]

oh there's ifrit

[jovial nest]

and less for hard content

Ifrit's expensive to drop

[proud drift]

[jovial nest]

and by that point

casters will bully her

[cyan gorge]

this is the best I have

[midnight falcon]

I'm thinking NTRK but I guess either Eyja or Gnosis could do

[jovial nest]

for now i recommend Gnosis borrow

cause he solves the water cannons in 1 lane
and kills a surfer behind him

[frigid kite]

God bless permafrost

[jovial nest]

make Gnosis be top right

wherein he can target the top right surfer

while having 1 tile free before the laner who's looking left to caster lane

in other words

Gnosis looking down

while being near the ground lane on the right

[wise perch]

how does one deal with ic s 1

cm

[jovial nest]

let carts carry you

[wise perch]

there is a ridiculous amount kf

oh

of course

[jovial nest]

if you ignore carts

you're asking to be owned

in this event

[wise perch]

I've been ignoring carts

brb

[midnight falcon]

This monstrocity is what got me farthest is S-2

[wise perch]

I tried using carts and instantly leaked

[cyan gorge]

I still can't handle the truck that goes bottom left

blocking it is suicide

[fresh copper]

Random bullshit gooo

Actually Passenger would be good here too

[light roost]

Why do they put pozy in an event with infinite physical dodges

[civic nest]

the whole banner is physical damage dealer so

[solar spindle]

pozy with her mod be like

[shell arch]

Me when pozy ignores dodge on mod

[solar spindle]

[wise perch]

I did it

[solar spindle]

or just build ur lappland faceroll the events

[shell arch]

Pro tip: if you don't want these mf to dodge, one-shot them

[rose patrol]

And she can only function her dodge ignore when only in front of her

[wise perch]

took blemi and gave her shining+lumen

[rose patrol]

Should've been what her range is

Smh

[wise perch]

me when I get chalter for some reasob

[lethal dragon]

Truly pro

[lethal dragon]

Gladiia the saviour 🧎‍♂️

[cyan gorge]

Good for you
telling me that doesn't cure my skill issue tho

[lethal dragon]

Pozy atleast has her ignore evasion module
Look at gavial

[cyan gorge]

I only have 1 Gnosis, I can't kill 2 lanes of waker tanks

[jovial nest]

thats where Surtr comes in

once she kills top left surfer

her return should be to deal with the OTHER water cannon going bot left

you should know due to where the cannons idle

and where they face

[limpid siren]

lava good? (real?)

[storm current]

But

You can solo the stage with car

[limpid siren]

i left my keys at home

[shell arch]

Call a locksmith

[light roost]

Locksmiths are expensive I need to save op

[cyan gorge]

simpler solution than I thought it would be

[light roost]

Solution usually is defender + caster

[jovial nest]

solution is Gnosis and Surtr

[lethal dragon]

Dumb stage

[jovial nest]

normal defenders die to ZE WATER CANNON!

[lethal dragon]

Water cannon too op

[jovial nest]

i mean the strat would've been to wake them up early

but they move so fast after idling that it doesn't run out

[cyan gorge]

Kal S3 easily 1v1s the water tanks

[mossy ore]

ok who tf made IC-S-2

[lethal dragon]

Probably the guy who made your pfp

[jovial nest]

i don't like to use ops that use more than 1 deployment slot in harder content

[shell arch]

Richard waterson made ic s 2?

[jovial nest]

I like S-2

it feels like an R8-8

where the solution is kinda not-TD like

and your strat is on how to solve it

[mossy ore]

(it's pretty bullshittery imo)

[jovial nest]

not to me

[mossy ore]

shocking? yes 👍

[jovial nest]

[cyan gorge]

for you that's fine, but not me when I have no other sensible options

[jovial nest]

dude

[jovial nest]

i know

but I've gone to a point where picking the best team...

can no longer fit 13 slots

[lethal dragon]

I brute forced my way through

[jovial nest]

cause there's so many good ops now

[lethal dragon]

True lol

[jovial nest]

even my supposed mainstays like Thorns

get thrown out in IC

due to being poor in dealing with drunks

[frigid kite]

Inb4 Thorns' module adds 1 space to the team

[jovial nest]

he'd be instant pick

then

and also

why deployment limits

is why i want NTRK so badly

goddamn NTRK why did you refuse to take my call back in NL

i know she wasn't my main target back then (Flametail is) but it took a lot of rolls to get her too

[frigid kite]

Did you get Pozymka?

[jovial nest]

its no longer an issue recently

back in NL, i had a different prio

now it's limited operator gain to avoid future sparking

cause AK is so generous that getting everyone is not a leviathan goal

if you have decent luck

[frigid kite]

Not me

[jovial nest]

it helps that I'm a semi-whale

and that AK is worth whaling on

no gacha has ever made me love its gameplay more than this

[cyan gorge]

I want more events like CC9 where Horn and Fia are considered good picks

[nimble stream]

@frigid kite I did it ty

[gray stone]

yeah uhh no

[nimble stream]

Ill do a 10x in your name

[gray stone]

most units get one season of screen time unless you are THAT good

[frigid kite]

Gl lol

[gray stone]

one or two at least

[nimble stream]

highest rarity 5* unit: Sora

[mossy ore]

ngl
the amount of sandcastle architects they throw at you is

pretty crazy

[frigid kite]

At least you didn't get Ebenholz

[nimble stream]

gets mr nothing

[frigid kite]

Still better

[nimble stream]

true

[gray stone]

Contrary to the doomposters, Ebenholz is already better than most of the units in the game just by being 6 star

[cyan gorge]

at least let me dream

[frigid kite]

I know, i just like to call him trash

[nimble stream]

[lethal dragon]

Based

[proud drift]

btw

I have a silly question, just need to check something before asking it

oh I guess getting 400/400 on MO-1

will be a 3* clear

I was gonna ask if there's any reason to go beyond 300 cuz of mission rewards

[frigid kite]

100 currency + 1 OP

[proud drift]

oh I finished store 2 days ago

[full finch]

medal set

[tame schooner]

Is there a stupid car strategy for IC-s-2?

[full finch]

probably

car basically solves all problems in this event

really boring

[proud spear]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S6GeMaqvoU

shaw doesnt need e1 max, just S2 SL7

fang can be replaced with myrtle

also side note, most of the times surtr (at max lvl pot 1) alone can't handle the bottom right one cuz the red car doesnt move for a while so might want to bring someone else as well to dps it

surtr needs pot 4 to guaranteem (cant believe that a 28 atk is the difference between solo surtr and needing someone else)

[civic nest]

isn’t pot 3 the important thing here giving surtr was it 1 more attack or 2 more attack i don’t remember

i don’t think that 28 atk was the magical pots

[tame schooner]

Alright thanks

[proud spear]

o maybe pot 3 is fine since pot 3 enchances the 2nd talent to i think 10 sec after 0 hp

but that vid uses pot 4, and at least a pot 1 cant consistently do it

[civic nest]

u tried with pot 1?

[proud spear]

yea

[scarlet ledge]

guys

how is s stage experience

u love s2?

[civic nest]

i haven’t tried it yet but ppl seems to be struggling with s2

[scarlet ledge]

ahhahahahah

[civic nest]

is it that hard?

[deep drum]

I hate s4

[scarlet ledge]

expected

[scarlet ledge]

bull shit layout

[deep drum]

trying to clear it without pozy is pain in the ass

[scarlet ledge]

use surtr

[deep drum]

lmao

[scarlet ledge]

ridding two surfboard

so car can move

push it using specialist

other surfboard

[modern plover]

i hate dodge mechanic at this point

[solar spindle]

but there is 4 of them

[proud drift]

That strat tho doesn’t work for cm no?

[scarlet ledge]

top prio john

[proud drift]

Cuz cm bans the surtr tiles

[scarlet ledge]

you only need top

dswopey

use fucking shaw

to push other surfboard

on surtr

[proud drift]

Oh so that’s the idea

[deep drum]

its all because hg went nuts on making balans operators that they literally made enemies dodge so they wont take any damage at all 💀

[scarlet ledge]

smh

[deep drum]

gotta make balans enemies as well

[scarlet ledge]

anyway s 2

[civic nest]

like use caster 🤯

[scarlet ledge]

layout is bullshit

s3 fun doe

[solar spindle]

beeg brain moment

[civic nest]

wow i’m gonna do it rn

[scarlet ledge]

s4 is cringe

anni funni

[solar spindle]

s4 is the easiest

ngl

[scarlet ledge]

well it is

its just spam car

[deep drum]

s4 without pozy

hard

[scarlet ledge]

then kill boss

[solar spindle]

then borrow pozy

easy

[deep drum]

🤯

[sour steppe]

hello, im having trouble with IC-S-2

[scarlet ledge]

lol

expected

[proud spear]

S1 is easy AF
S2 is really easy if you have pusher
S3 is easy
S4 is the most annoying, can't find the right pozy set up for a few tries

but S1 and S3 is really laggy kek

[civic nest]

dam

[solar spindle]

seem like s2 is the hardest stage

[scarlet ledge]

well layout funni

[sour steppe]

even Blue Woman gaming is not taking me anywhere

[scarlet ledge]

forced u to kill two surfboard

on top

[deep drum]

my ass getting lvl 30-40 pozy in support unit

where the lvl 90 at?

[scarlet ledge]

so car can move

[solar spindle]

if u dont mind u can add me for funny pozy 90 mod 1

[proud drift]

Does 90 but not mod3

Bruh

[deep drum]

[solar spindle]

me poor

[deep drum]

sounds like a skill issue, nobody uses my e2 90 s3m3 mod3 ling as well which is a skill issue

🗿

[solar spindle]

[deep drum]

maybe surtr is on more demand than blue woman

[solar spindle]

my ling is still mod 1 aswell

[deep drum]

like ive rarely seen ling or chalter in support

and surtr got a lot

[rose patrol]

Cause everyone has ling by now

[deep drum]

what bout them noobs?

[rose patrol]

Who doesn't summon on blue woman

[solar spindle]

imagine skip blue women

[sour steppe]

I wasnt playing when Blue Woman was released

[deep drum]

I literally played the game before the end of the blue woman banner and I somehow got her

[scarlet ledge]

i dont use blue woman

[solar spindle]

unfortunately

[scarlet ledge]

blue woman cringe

[deep drum]

[solar spindle]

lucky

[deep drum]

saw the ak anime trailer, some random ass youtuber convinced me to play the game on the recommendation and that youtuber said that I should def pull for blue woman

cuz she broken

[solar spindle]

she indeed broken

[deep drum]

now my brain hurts playing this game

[solar spindle]

but there are another blue women

uk uk

[deep drum]

[solar spindle]

also broken

[sour steppe]

so anyone to help me get past S-2?

[solar spindle]

what ur team

[proud spear]

@sour steppe

[sour steppe]

I dont have Shaw at S7

[proud spear]

tbh shaw is just there so surtr can kill both top surfer, so long as you have someone else to kill it its fine

[sour steppe]

without S7 she does not push enough from what it looks like

[proud spear]

only problem is that unless its blocked it takes significantly less damage and in cm said tile is undeployable so it will take a while to kill

tbh you can just put whomever to the tile to the left of him and since he cant attack you anyone is fine, to the tile on his right place surtr facing right

[noble pewter]

Will raising a kafka be good just to kill surfers?

[proud spear]

ehh till now i still cant understand on why someone would want to build kafka

[noble pewter]

Arts dmg fast redeploy ?

[proud spear]

her s2 range is kinda iffy tho

and for s1 the damage is so insignificant

the main use of s1 is just the sleep

i mean sure an e0 max kafka is better but e1 kafka sadly needs +2 DP and subsequent redeployment will get even more expensive

[frigid kite]

the blue womam!!! Wow

[proud spear]

so unless you are planning to use kafka for s2 i rly wouldnt recommend raising her past e0 max

skill level also doesnt change the sleep duration, SL1 and M3 have the same duration smh

[split lynx]

any tips for s-3 CM?

[proud spear]

SA

[jovial nest]

Base reasons only

[proud spear]

i mean if theres no need for her as a staller then ig yea its fine

[jovial nest]

oh S-3 CM huh

time to actually use Ely S2

I've been using S1 purely to fuel more carts

[scarlet ledge]

kek

[modern plover]

Any advice or layout for s3 cm that i can take inspiration from?

Maybe not then

[frigid kite]

What I did was

Irene for the Whiskey-Grade cars, Ceobe for the taxis

If you got any of those, you can try

But aside from that, you can kill the casters with a fast-red car

At least some of the first waves

Ely S2 would be pretty carry too yeah

[jovial nest]

tch

not enough practice plans

burned most of it on S-1 to 3 normal

1-2 CM

and only 2 tries on 3 CM

But I'm guessing that I have to treat Ely's S2 as not a print

and more of a nuke

[frigid kite]

Use SA if you got him

[jovial nest]

and not make Mudrock lane

but actually reveal and block a buggy

[jovial nest]

I'm thinking about it too

use both

can't be one or the other

cause only SA is rough

[frigid kite]

Hmm

I don't have him sadly but I think a full skill of him can take care of the 1st 2 taxis

[jovial nest]

goddamn CM makes both vehicles invis

now thats what i call toxic

actually

this would be a LOT easier

if i didn't mess up Surtr intercepting the surfer

just so the carts can do their work

and have less or no boxers at all

[frigid kite]

One day i'll wake up and see

[sour steppe]

any ideas to IC-S-2? I tried Blue Woman, I tried push woman, I tried Redhair woman and no woman is working for me

[frigid kite]

Condition: Surtr is blocked

Do you have any clear strat that you want to try?

Or just throwing everything in to see if it works

If so, try Ceobe

[sour steppe]

Push Woman was the most solid one so far, but I just want clear call it a day

[frigid kite]

She will kill all the big scary cars

And you can just spam the car for the durins

[sour steppe]

do u have video how it works

[frigid kite]

I made it myself

W8

Not the video I mean, the strat

[sour steppe]

hold hand then?

[frigid kite]

Ooh wait i'm dumb wrong map, still, do you have Kalsit?

[sour steppe]

yes

[frigid kite]

Ok, put Monster on the left blue box looking up

And pick Surtr as support

You just have to clear the top instructors

Monster will take care of the whisky cars

Just buff him with asp and done

After that just make the car kill the center durins and you're done

[sour steppe]

ew, I dont think its feasible putting 30 dp so fast

[frigid kite]

What Vanguards do you have

Myrtle works too btw

M3 will catch the durin before it leaks

[noble pewter]

What car part to use?

[jovial nest]

Whoever defends left lane has to look at top

[sour steppe]

https://krooster.com/u/Ketsura

[solemn anvil]

yo anyone got the boss pathing in ic s 4? tf did i just see on that pathing

[frigid kite]

The usual, 1 asp 1 heal - Def, Orange drill, +80% speed and healing

[frigid kite]

Yeah just start with myrtle

[noble pewter]

is it possible just put x2 sp gain on car? Does it stack? Then spam gg global n hope it kills everything ?

[frigid kite]

The boss goes in a circle (the artistic way)

[solemn anvil]

yeah fuck that,im spawncamping it

[vocal karma]

what I did was corner him right when he came out

[solemn anvil]

yeap

[frigid kite]

I think SP only works in ground operators

[vocal karma]

Pozemka facing up top, her arrow pointing to the right just below the spawnpoint, and Chalter where Warfarin is pointing to the left

[frigid kite]

No Pozy

Had to eat the whole gimmick

[vocal karma]

you could always kill them next wave

[frigid kite]

Yup

The boss actually takes its time

Idk how many cycles it does but it keeps even after all enemies are dead

[vocal karma]

I put a stronger defender facing left on the bottom right

[flat plaza]

need help with ex-9

and the event anni

the s-1 stage

[frigid kite]

Hi muffin, im a fan

[vocal karma]

Cuora couldn't last so Hoshiguma replaced her

[frigid kite]

Lets see

[flat plaza]

and every ex cm

[frigid kite]

Well probably no

[latent monolith]

The car abuse is strong with this one

[frigid kite]

What's your strat for ex 9?

I mean ex 8

[vocal karma]

basically a variation on Kyo and Enli's strategy

[frigid kite]

Aw

😦

[flat plaza]

oh wait no I haven't beated ex-8 yet lol

was asking for strat for 8 not 9

[frigid kite]

Aah thats easier

Ok

What do you have

[flat plaza]

need help for ex-8 and event anni and s-1 stage and every ex cm pls

[flat plaza]

my op?

[frigid kite]

Yup

[tidal sedge]

how impossibru it is to use LORD TACHANKA in IS S 4?

Note: S2M3

[frigid kite]

You can use him to kill whisky cars

One has to die 1st

[tidal sedge]

and... Minimalist?

[frigid kite]

Give him a true challenge

[lean hull]

does anyone have a 1 six star low rarity guide for IC-S-3 cm that doesnt involve SA or scene. i dont have them. and im in the middle of finding someone who has them, so in the meantime i wanted to try other ops but i searched youtube but i still cant find any. any ideas?

[tidal sedge]

ok

[frigid kite]

If you got Elysium you can try using Ceobe

[lean hull]

i dont have elysium sadly

[frigid kite]

Ex-8 right

[flat plaza]

yes

[lean hull]

so no other ways?

[flat plaza]

and the event anni and s-1 and all ex cm

[frigid kite]

I have nothing in mind sorry

I can help you with ex-8 muffin after that i'm going to rest

Ok so, have you tried the level yet?

[coral hill]

Horn S1 maybe

[flat plaza]

yes

too many slugs

[frigid kite]

Ex-8, not the news

[flat plaza]

wait waht

I don't remember tbh

oh right

I tried and then I leave early

cause weird stuff

[frigid kite]

I see

Are you going to borrow?

[flat plaza]

i guess

[frigid kite]

Ok, borrow a Pozymka, the best you can find, if it's M3 E2 90 with Module thats perfect

If it's M3 E2 60 with Module thats good enough

[flat plaza]

ok

I have never used her tho

[frigid kite]

It's pretty easy to use, give me 1 mnt to show you the map

Vanguards on both corners, looking right and left respectively, you can use Flametail and Myrtle

Pozymka os that purple dot in the middle, the arrow is her summon

Just put her summon once the boss is out and use her S3

At the same time use Schwarz S3

That will kill the boss

The yellow thing is Saria, looking right

Black M is Mountain looking right

K is kalsit, just put her over there and then Monster

Gg is goldenglow and E is Eyjafjalla, that's it, pretty simple

Now the important thing is your car

Show me your car

Btw actually

Change Saria and Mountain's places

[scarlet fulcrum]

Scene also works, talent unlocked at e0

[frigid kite]

Oh and monster looking left

[sour steppe]

anyone avaliable to help me in IC-S-2? I am at Rhodes Island

[deep drum]

please tell me they didnt add more hp to the boss in the IC-S-4 challenge mode

[proud drift]

wait

S-1 CM

did the extra 40

include a random ass water cannon

cause I did S-1 with no issues whatsoever

did the same strat in CM

[scarlet ledge]

its just spam cars

[proud drift]

random ass water cannon punched through my entire backline

[scarlet ledge]

dum game

cars usage

[rough anvil]

im pretty sure both had water cannons?

[proud drift]

-8 sanity I guess

[latent monolith]

Yeah both had water cannons

[proud drift]

"did the extra 40
include a random ass water cannon"

I'm asking if

[latent monolith]

Probably

[proud drift]

the extra 40

included a cannon

[latent monolith]

Idk I just carknights'd them

[proud drift]

yea carknights didn't work for me for some reason

I don't know why

[rough anvil]

yeah i couldnt tell in the pile of frozen enemies

[proud drift]

unless myrtle got oneshot by casters

[latent monolith]

S stages CM probably buffs enemy stats like EX too right?

Could be that too

[rough anvil]

get stat checked nerd

[proud drift]

no but like

thing is

for me it constantly had 2-3 durins leak from time to time

despite doing the funny layout

I'll try having mudrock and blemishine as meatshields

[latent monolith]

Did for me too that's what the 12+1 slots for bringing operators are for

[proud drift]

I mean I bring bagpipe

for start

let's pray this works I guess

[surreal relic]

You could do this instead

[proud drift]

do they not go to bottom gate?

[storm current]

only the big car

[surreal relic]

All of the enemies will path through the top lane

[proud drift]

BRUH

[storm current]

nah

[surreal relic]

even the bottom ones will go up before going down

[storm current]

car will get frozen

[proud drift]

how was I supposed to know that

[storm current]

when enter the intercept point

you technically

can do a 0 ops clear

but that involve using car to do scratch dmg to the buggies

not very pleasant

[proud drift]

damn blemishine isn't getting oneshot by casters wtf

unlike myrtle

wait

+2 dp cost -50% launch cd

You're TECHNICALLY in a positive DP gain

it's just like

0.05 dp a second

[noble pewter]

what.. Dp gain? Doesn't that make ur cars cost +2 dp n hence expensier n more than ur natural dp gain making u a net negative?

[proud drift]

it actually doesn't

I was groaning over the fact that my DP is locked at 20-25 so I can't deploy surtr to kill the frozen cargo cars

suddenly my DP became locked at 21-26

and then after like a minute it was 22-27

[noble pewter]

Maybe the cars were giving sp to ur vgs or sth n they printed dp for u or some charger was killing enemies ?

[storm current]

fyi

car has sp lock

[proud drift]

there was nothing to print dp

[storm current]

so in reality they launch every 5.1s for example

[proud drift]

huh

how tf do you

car strat s-2

[storm current]

https://youtu.be/Jgr37nzvOfM

[proud drift]

I can't just open with surtr

[storm current]

but

you can borrow

[proud drift]

no I have my own surtr

[storm current]

copy strat then

[proud drift]

will try ig

[drifting agate]

Is there anyone who can actually tank the whiskey tanks

[storm current]

yes

they have 1800 atk

anything with that much def will tank

or you can use car to out heal

[drifting agate]

Challenge mode makes them invisible

[surreal relic]

The easiest strat for S-3 CM is to use SA to reveal them

[rough anvil]

yeah you either reveal them or you heal your defenders through the damage and use an aoe arts nuke like eyja

[jovial nest]

After seeing IC's MO

it sure feels so huge

[noble pewter]

oh ur right, it would have been net neutral if perfectly timed but the cast animation n all I guess

[jovial nest]

compared to DH-MO's claustrophobic nature

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mrfz/images/d/d3/DH-MO-1_map.png/revision/latest?cb=20220115135518

I can almost smell my PTSD

they're actually the same grid size

ranged tile locations really do matter

[proud drift]

wait am I supposed to surtr the water cannon too in S-2?

in bottom row

[jovial nest]

S-2? yeah so you can delete them easier

or else it takes forever

[proud drift]

I mean

if I don't delete them

they leak

[jovial nest]

Gnosis solves them

[proud drift]

cause in CM mudrock is DEFINITELY not surviving one

[jovial nest]

so does Spelter S2 active

[proud drift]

oh I guess I could gnose to freeze them

[storm current]

@proud drift you dont

[jovial nest]

The watercannon has insane ASPD during buffs

[storm current]

just

[jovial nest]

Mudrock is dying fast

[storm current]

let it pass lol

[proud drift]

it

just rushes thru

cause it oneshots everyone in its way

[storm current]

surtr duty is just killing the surfer

[jovial nest]

Surtr's 2nd deploy can deal with bot right Surfer AND a water cannon

which water cannon?

your choice

[storm current]

the 2nd water cannion

theres no way you can do it for the 1st one

[jovial nest]

of course you can't

wait no

well

its my comp

and i deployed Surtr 1st time very early

I'm bringing Mountain for this anni

he's just too good in solving drunks

or stalling drunks

while ran over by cars

[noble pewter]

I just camp it with a caster so by time it get to blue bx already dying n can block it if needed n have a lapp at corner right face down to block

[jovial nest]

awwww

IC MO has the lamer battle BGM

[proud drift]

bruh gnose made it so much easier on mudmud

also tfw

lv50 surtr

BARELY enough to kill unblocked CM surfer

[jovial nest]

hmmmmm

I feel like I can make this crazier

possibly remove the ASPD altogether

and add a 2nd SP

[proud drift]

bruh wtf is s-3

[jovial nest]

it's what i call

run over those boxers and casters

intercept the diver

or die

[drifting agate]

Raising scene for this garbage

[proud drift]

do only cars come from left side?

can I just point myrtle and texas right side?

[jovial nest]

at least GG gets the ASPD buff for any stragglers

[jovial nest]

boxers come from there too

[proud drift]

then what the fuck do I do

[jovial nest]

solve it yourself. The main issue is kill as many from right side

to make left lane deal with the buggies

and the other boxers

you're not even in CM

wherein it gets really difficult

[proud drift]

HUH THERE'S A SURFER TOO

[rough anvil]

i just plopped down my chonkiest defenders, took some solid medics, spammed car heals and let eyja nuke everything

worked like a charm

kinda

took a few tries to get the timing right

[jovial nest]

ok lemme try this layout first

this MO is looking to be fun

[rough anvil]

it was fun the first few times

and then it became an agonizing wait as i had to sit through hundreds of enemies to try a different strat

[jovial nest]

for now I'm trying to go for best arrow layout and then substitute some arrows into actual laners

especially those that's best for spawncamping

[rough anvil]

all i can say is

[proud drift]

bruh those surfers are not cool

[rough anvil]

good luck 🙂

[noble pewter]

Does the cart disable special ability thing disable surfer cart block?

[storm current]

no

but it disable the 75% dmg reduction while unblocked

[proud drift]

WAIT WATER CANNONS ARE INVIS TOO?

[noble pewter]

What else does it disables then ?

[rough anvil]

🙂 this is where the fun begins

[proud drift]

how the fuck do you even do this

[rough anvil]

well i already mentioned my strat

there are a few different strats floating around

[jovial nest]

HAHAHAHAH

without invis they're a joke

a single poke

and then they're just slow slabs of metal if not invis

wait....

SA redep!

SA redep can make them a joke!

[proud drift]

too bad I don't have SA friend

so I'll have to improvise

[jovial nest]

or wait

Scene!

I'm bringing Scene HAHAHAH

S1

[dim cypress]

How to beat ic-s-2? That stage annoying af, dunno how to deal with whiskey car, can't even tank it

[rough anvil]

SA just targets the wrong thing and then fucking dies

[jovial nest]

Gnosis S3, Surtr S3, Spelter S2

[jovial nest]

yeah thats why i'm going for Scene S1

a single range

makes it easier to specifically target

[rough anvil]

ez game

[jovial nest]

the water cannons

and also easily replaceable anti invis

[proud drift]

well

I'll try a lv1 scene

only thing I need for cannons

is to make their madge mode

run out

[jovial nest]

you only need to proc the cannons early

but that means Scene's S1 will take forever to charge

drop her a bit early

if SL1

[proud drift]

she doesn't need skill up

to reveal

[rough anvil]

the only issue is if you plan to use the cars on your ops, the scene drone needs to sit in the one square that lets the cars reach your ops

but ill let yall deal with that

[scarlet fulcrum]

S1 only camo her buggycam

actually good for that

[jovial nest]

it just lessens the duration

[proud drift]

uh oh

I don't have 5 eyes

so I missed one invis cannon

rip run

nvm the cars take forever to die anyways

I might just sit out s-3 cm

this has to be the most retarded modifier I've ever seen for a CM so far

[rough anvil]

s3 cm definitely took me the longest to figure out out of all the stages with the exception of MO

comparatively, s4 and s4 cm were a breeze

[proud drift]

actually

I have an idea

that MIGHT work for oneshotting the cars

nvm it didn't work

yea idk if I fail one more attempt I'll just skip cm for this

1 op not worth irl sanity

yea fuck this stage

[surreal relic]

There's a Surtr as the only 6* clear of S-3 CM
They still perma-freeze the cannons, just need to time someone to block them just as a car is passing through to freeze them
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1TP411L7Wv

[lost aurora]

boys LL ittle help

[dim cypress]

How to beat ic-s-2 with this operators?

I can't with that stage anymore

[molten swan]

oh it's the stage with 4 mfs at the opening isn't it

[jovial nest]

are the surfers only coming from here?

[storm current]

@dim cypress do you want uh

video guides or

[rough anvil]

no, they come from the bottom, bottom red on the left side, and top red boxes

[trim osprey]

whoever made IC-S-3 CM has a special place in hell reserved for them lmao

[storm current]

https://youtu.be/Jgr37nzvOfM

[dim cypress]

Yeah, plus that annoying whiskey cannon car

[storm current]

honestly

you should refer to this low ops guides

[dim cypress]

Neat, I'll try this

[storm current]

to see the solution instead of brute forcing

since brute forcing blindly is a lot harder

[proud drift]

wtf

[rough anvil]

oh, and one surfer comes from the center red box as well

[lost aurora]

how to auto ls-6??

[proud drift]

that looks like it requires so much malding

that idk if I wanna bother with it

[lethal dragon]

Low rarity moment

Lol

Abuse rarity and cars

[proud drift]

hmm I might try that way

that looks like a lot more managable

though how do you survive the massive waves of casters?

[lethal dragon]

Saria

[proud drift]

ok so basically I can't do it then

[lethal dragon]

Hehe

[proud drift]

you're also running double heal wtf

well

blemishine might be able to tank it I guess

[surreal relic]

Just borrow a random S3M0 Silverash if you really need to

you only need his reveal anyways

[proud drift]

I might as well just take a lv1 scene

does the same thing anyways

[lethal dragon]

Just to be safe cuz water cannons are annoying

[trim osprey]

IC-S-3 CM is very restrictive yeah

easily the hardest map this event

of all the things, giving invis to the cars

[proud drift]

yeah no

I'm justy

done with this stage

[molten swan]

hmm this will be fun

[molten swan]

just sa it bro

[proud drift]

whoever designed that stage

is very good at drooling over their keyboard

[trim osprey]

i did, that stage is still miserable

[main halo]

I've been rotating for a while and cant seem to find any Mizuki support unit

[proper elbow]

Are you searching for mizuki masteries?

[proud drift]

which of these tiles makes poze most effective for droning?
