all of my friend just fuck ling out of support

[lament forum]

Also don't expect much from my car I'm late in this event so I pretty much have shit parts only

[full finch]

bruh

the car deals with like 70% of the event

not having it is a major handicap

[glass monolith]

not having car is major box2 gaming

[lament forum]

Had to stay away from yt guides because I don't have good car parts yet

[civic nest]

[gray stone]

350 wave basically solved by a module 3 Passenger

[scarlet ledge]

handle top with def

bottom is just dps

[gray stone]

Don't use AFK guides they require shit operators

[civic nest]

[gray stone]

yeah bottom is either Kal or arts guard

[scarlet ledge]

feetus

[gray stone]

It's short

[civic nest]

[scarlet ledge]

lvl 70-80 ur ops

[scarlet ledge]

stats needed for afk

smh

[civic nest]

[storm current]

Sl4 scavenger courier and sl7 fang work btw

[scarlet ledge]

feetus

[civic nest]

im missing the ling

[scarlet ledge]

[civic nest]

well im just gonna play normal then

rip

[tacit minnow]

[storm current]

I think sl7 should work

As long as mod2

Since timing isnt tight

[civic nest]

should have said it sooner

[storm current]

And dragon are overkill anyway

[civic nest]

💀

[storm current]

[scarlet ledge]

glad ican lazy on my both en acc

and do afk

[civic nest]

how am i suppose to know

[scarlet ledge]

except jp

i use 4★ there

dies

[civic nest]

4* gamer my favourite

[dapper meadow]

dont worry m8, once you get to high E2 levels you can start to AFK most stuff. AFKing IC-S-4 CM was objectively less stressfull than figuring out when to use carts, but honestly the biggest reason i would AFK stages is no longer an issue - annihilation.

[storm current]

When pioneer generate more dp than flags

[dapper meadow]

but now that theres anni ticket, afking kinda ded relative to before those tickets

[civic nest]

yea i dont have that much e2 fr

[scarlet ledge]

e2 then

dum

[civic nest]

just pull material out of my ass fr

[scarlet ledge]

ye

farm

[civic nest]

🤯

[solar spindle]

[scarlet ledge]

feetus

want my 300 gels

havent use them

[civic nest]

when will this game have trading

nah thats gonna be dumb as hell

[scarlet ledge]

kek

[civic nest]

ppl gonna make clone like crazy

[dapper meadow]

are you me? I farmed 200 thinking i would be good for the near future. I still have 185 left. Every other time ive stocked up a lot of a upgrade mat during event farming, i always end up running out decently quick. This is the first time i got way too much

[storm current]

But

Clue trade exist

[civic nest]

clue trade is normal

trading mat would be hella dumb

[proud drift]

WTT anything for Alloy

[mint river]

Just got Warfarin do I level her or do I focus on e2ing my chalter

[glass monolith]

E1 Skill level 7 Warf as "surprise tool which will help us later" and continue Chaltering

[vernal lion]

1/2501

[dapper meadow]

E2 chalter if you dont need another medic in immediate future, but Warfarin is probably the best ST medic (rarely will Shining make or break a stage, when Warf wouldnt be able to)

[stark canopy]

S-3 CM sure is fun

[proud drift]

huh is warfarin actually used more than just +90% ATK

[main solstice]

Agree

[midnight falcon]

S-4 is an absolute joke compared to it

[civic nest]

her s1 heal is really good

[toxic bridge]

so as you can see my name im a bootleg Drsilvergun so that means 4* only, now i ask, which 4 stars should i perhaps stay away from?

[midnight falcon]

Frostleaf

[toxic bridge]

ok good cuz i already was

[civic nest]

although her design is cool as hell her kit is the opposite

and i don’t really think u will find much use in conviction

[toxic bridge]

good cuz i aint got anyone with that name

[midnight falcon]

Normally Meteor is hot garbage but for 4 stars only she's one of the main sources of def reduction

[toxic bridge]

that's the archer right?

[civic nest]

also greyy is meh

[toxic bridge]

sorry still not good with names

[civic nest]

meteor is alright not that bad

she just got more use in 4*

[toxic bridge]

fair enough

[civic nest]

aa sniper is kind of hard to mess up

[toxic bridge]

aa?

[midnight falcon]

Anti Air

[toxic bridge]

oh yeh yeh my bad

[midnight falcon]

Aka marksman sniper subclass

[civic nest]

jackie and greyy is a meh even in 4* only

[toxic bridge]

yeah and i assume bee hunter too?

[civic nest]

beehunter have used s o m e times

[toxic bridge]

ok ok

[civic nest]

the some here is used very lightly

[weak gazelle]

she is

[civic nest]

like in IW

[toxic bridge]

what are those some times?

[civic nest]

she was used to punch all of the small stuff

[toxic bridge]

ok ok got it

[midnight falcon]

Also Matterhorn and Earthspirit are overshadowed by ops in the same niche

[toxic bridge]

yeah i kinda dont use those

[civic nest]

but with that most 4* are pretty good

not like 5*

[toxic bridge]

yeah

in deffenders we got quora, gummy, bubble and maybe dur-nar? not sure haven't tested her yet

[midnight falcon]

Dur-nar is really just arts damage bait and dps

[scarlet mortar]

cuora with a c

[toxic bridge]

u rite i can't read

fucc

[scarlet mortar]

respect the brick tutel smh

[toxic bridge]

you right you right

[scarlet mortar]

but yh, cuora has stupidly high def for a 4*

[toxic bridge]

lemme actually go trough my list of ops and see recomendations

[midnight falcon]

Also 4 block and self regen

[midnight falcon]

That is much easier

[toxic bridge]

so for vanguard i got courier, scav, myrtle and vigna

not that bad i do suppose

[civic nest]

pretty good ngl

[midnight falcon]

All 4 are going to see use in 4* only

[toxic bridge]

ok good

any others i should look out for?

[midnight falcon]

Jaye is busted and Ethan with module too

[civic nest]

that’s all of the 4* vg

[scarlet mortar]

beanstalk

[civic nest]

ion

yea

i forgor

[midnight falcon]

Oh yeah Beanstalk

[civic nest]

her skin blinded me

[toxic bridge]

beanstalk?

ok got it

guards is my problem, the only good ones i have are matoimaru and mousse and beehunter for s o m e stuff

[scarlet mortar]

her crab has some pretty nifty stalling applications, provided you learn how to use her

[civic nest]

cutter is wat i consider the best 4* guard

also arene

my boy

[toxic bridge]

i have also frost, dober and jackie

[scarlet mortar]

cutter'a damage is kinda illegal

[toxic bridge]

but those suck right?

[midnight falcon]

Utage is good

[civic nest]

yea

[toxic bridge]

ok so

[scarlet mortar]

frostleaf is unplayable, utage got module shafted but else she's nice

[civic nest]

u should try to get nuker tags in recruitment

[scarlet mortar]

dobermann sees niche use too, ST damage with her 1x3 range and the ability to be deployed on ranged tiles

[civic nest]

it would most likely give u cutter

also mod 3 cutter chief kiss

[toxic bridge]

so with that in mind which guards should i aim for? cutter, arene, utage? anyone else?

[civic nest]

that’s it

[scarlet mortar]

if you play 4*-only you'll probs find a couple stages for dobermann once every half year

[civic nest]

bloodknight 4* guard only lol

[toxic bridge]

defenders im good with mine right? bubbly, gummy, cuora and dur-nar?

[midnight falcon]

Yup no need for anything else

[toxic bridge]

aight

[scarlet mortar]

matterhorn is a late-game raise if you need a hp pool/arts tank instead of the def tank cuora

[toxic bridge]

well i also got him so im good

[scarlet mortar]

yh that's all

[civic nest]

4* sniper is actually all around pretty solid so that’s nice

[toxic bridge]

ok ok so now snipers

yeah i got a bunch of em too

[scarlet mortar]

meteor: i slep

[toxic bridge]

jess, may, shira, pinecone, ambriel, acird and vermeil

[civic nest]

may and pinecone

[toxic bridge]

oh also meteor

[civic nest]

especially pinecone

she see used in a lot of stage

[toxic bridge]

ok

should i build jess?

or is meteor better?

cuz i wanna have at least 2 AA

[civic nest]

ur doing 4* so you’re building all of them anyway

[midnight falcon]

Neither is great, but I suppose Meteor helps with defense problems

[civic nest]

but i think build meteor first for the def reduce

[scarlet mortar]

pinecone is busted, may's cc is evil, ambriel has funny snipes but you'll have to learn cycling, aciddrop plays with scratch damage

[toxic bridge]

yeah but im building a list in notes of who to prioritize

[plain ginkgo]

May/Meteor is a good start

[midnight falcon]

And pinecone for carry

[toxic bridge]

shira too perhaps?

[scarlet mortar]

shirayuki's good if you need arts aoe rn, i personally haven't found use for her but then again i don't play 4*-only

[toxic bridge]

May / Pinecone / Meteor / Aciddrop / Shirayuki these good enough for now?

aight so casters

[civic nest]

indigo click haze pudding are all good caster especially in 4* only

[toxic bridge]

thankfully i got all of them

[midnight falcon]

Oh boi 4 stars casters arent great

[scarlet mortar]

meteor gets benched if you're not maining snipers imo, outside of drone-heavy stages it usually is better to just bring casters to avoid def

[toxic bridge]

fair enough

[midnight falcon]

If for some reason you want an aoe caster Gitano is usable

[scarlet mortar]

click and indigo carry 4* casters

[civic nest]

haze is used a lot in patriot stage for some reason

her damage is pretty good so who cares

[toxic bridge]

Click / Indigo / Haze / Pudding how bout these to 4* casters?

[scarlet mortar]

well, res shred for haze, but myeh i feel like 4*s grew out of that

[civic nest]

i would still raise pudding tho

[scarlet mortar]

works

[toxic bridge]

any others i should try to get or?

i imagine not

[scarlet mortar]

wait do we have anyone else lmao

[toxic bridge]

actually not sure

[scarlet mortar]

sides gitano

[toxic bridge]

medics......sussurro, perfumer, myrrh ez

[civic nest]

myrrh usage is…

questionable

[midnight falcon]

Myrrh Is'nt really used

[scarlet mortar]

sus, perfumer and purestream should work

[toxic bridge]

hmm purestream dont have her

[midnight falcon]

Support tag in recruitment gets her

[scarlet mortar]

medic/healing + support nets her

[civic nest]

chestnut in elemental damage heavy stage

[toxic bridge]

maybe gavial?

[civic nest]

gavial is a specialist

she’s use a lot yes

[toxic bridge]

i have right here it says medic

[plain ginkgo]

that's Gravel

[civic nest]

oh

shit

fuck

[weak gazelle]

i think try deepcolour too

[scarlet mortar]

gav's a pseudo-aoe medic imo, good as long as you don't meet huge waves of damage

[toxic bridge]

ok ok so gavial it is

[civic nest]

my mind isn’t clear at midnight

sorry

[midnight falcon]

Yo it's 2 pm for me

[toxic bridge]

5 pm for me

[civic nest]

it’s 12AM for me

[scarlet mortar]

silvergun abuses her whenever he doesn't get statchecked, but tbh she's a whenever

[civic nest]

i will go to sleep after this

[toxic bridge]

for supports i think podenco and deepcolor are the only gud i have

[scarlet mortar]

unless you're going for dodge gaming

[toxic bridge]

so roberta for some uses?

[midnight falcon]

They're half of all 4* supporters

[toxic bridge]

THERE'S ONLY 4?

[midnight falcon]

Ye

[toxic bridge]

bruh thank fuck i have em all

[civic nest]

lel

[toxic bridge]

my luck in this game sucks

Podenco / Deepcolor / Roberta (some dodge related uses)

[pastel reef]

does it matter what character i e2 first? should i just e2 the one i like the most

[civic nest]

all of the 4* specialist are great or do their job

[scarlet mortar]

roberta's good, maybe not an early raise but her shields should fill the gap between defender-medic cycles

[toxic bridge]

ok ok

[midnight falcon]

Usually you want your best unit to be your First e2, but it's your choice

[civic nest]

it kind of matter a lot yes your first e2 would be your main dps usually and u will use them a lot

[toxic bridge]

so its done now specialists......ethan, jaye, gravel,shaw and rope?

[civic nest]

yea

that’s all

[toxic bridge]

huh

[midnight falcon]

All of them lmao

[pastel reef]

what about pink hair sniper with the turret? shes my fave and i like to use her

[toxic bridge]

damn

[civic nest]

yea she can be your first e2 no problem

[scarlet mortar]

dps machine, go ahead

[pastel reef]

alright ty!

[civic nest]

i like pinecone first e2 more but that’s just me

[midnight falcon]

Pozyomka. Broken. Worth the investiment

[toxic bridge]

can i drop the text file i made with all the info here or is it not allowed?

[civic nest]

it’s allow yea

[toxic bridge]

maybe can help other 4* enthuasiasts

EZ

[civic nest]

i’m on my phone rn so i can’t even see it 💀

[toxic bridge]

LMAO

[civic nest]

oh i can just need to open note

[weak gazelle]

well yeah
benefit as summoner

[civic nest]

you typed pretty fast huh

[scarlet mortar]

yh i'd just raise her at least after the other core 4*s are E2'd

[toxic bridge]

pretty much the list you guys gave me so i can know who to get but edited in case someone wants it to 4* gaming

sadly it shall not be pinned

[civic nest]

4* player are usually older player who already have knowledge of the game so yea

it kind of make sense

[toxic bridge]

yeah did i make it in the side is there any spelling errors?

[toxic bridge]

yeah but incase some new guy like me wants it as a challenge or sumthing idk /shrug

[civic nest]

understandable

well i should sleep

gn

[toxic bridge]

gnight gamer

[plain ginkgo]

she exist too

[toxic bridge]

oh right

[lament forum]

[proud drift]

4 CEU 8 polymerized gel

[scarlet ledge]

kek

[proud drift]

[scarlet ledge]

but ye

chp8 alloy

[proud drift]

Yea I farmed the gel already fortunately

[storm current]

Wait for DV for alloy

[proud drift]

But everything gel-related also costs alloy sadly

[storm current]

[scarlet ledge]

imagine

dv

[proud drift]

Yea next year maybe

[scarlet ledge]

getitng pushed again

[storm current]

Btw

Salt eat gel

[scarlet ledge]

[storm current]

So have fun

[scarlet ledge]

GEL

[proud drift]

Salt?

[scarlet ledge]

when chp11 released

[proud drift]

O

[scarlet ledge]

[lethal dragon]

Goddammit

[proud drift]

As long as it’s not gel AND alloy

[storm current]

Guess what

[lethal dragon]

F2p life sucks
Only 125 aketon and 60ish RMA

[scarlet ledge]

alloy

[lethal dragon]

I cry

[storm current]

Future ops still eat a lot of CEU

[lethal dragon]

This event sucks

[scarlet ledge]

haahhaah

@proud drift

[storm current]

Did you know

T5 salt only use 1 T3 salt

Its kinds cringe

[proud drift]

bruh it's worse

it uses cutting fluid

[scarlet ledge]

love ur gel

[proud drift]

it's ok I have 110 gel rn

surely it will be enough

:clueless:

[scarlet ledge]

not enough

farm more

[proud drift]

had to farm some rmas

wanted to farm 200 gel

[storm current]

Gel usage are mainly CEU and salt

[proud drift]

but rma also too needed

[scarlet ledge]

glad i dont have to worry about gel

i have 300

[proud drift]

yea and 90% of the "good" operators use CEU

[scarlet ledge]

but my alloy is at 254

[proud drift]

for some god-forsaken reason

[scarlet ledge]

[proud drift]

ayo first run on r8-7 and I get t4 alloy

[gaunt ravine]

Does anyone know what to look up for guides if you don't have the 50% cooldown from the car/events? My friend got every single one except that one and he's been actively playing and every guide seems to use it

[proud drift]

lolicon kept saying 80% ms is enough

wonder how true that is

[storm current]

Depend on the map

If you dont have -50% launch cooldown

Freezing strat will be impossible

[gaunt ravine]

My friend needs ic-s 1-4 + the anni + the last ex stage

[storm current]

80% speed is only for EX8 where you get 2 launcher instead of 1

[proud drift]

o

[surreal relic]

You'd have more luck looking for guides in Bilibili than YT

[lethal dragon]

Are we really calling him that

[proud drift]

that IS his discord name

[storm current]

What

You should call me

https://bit.ly/AshringHomework

[vernal lion]

oh yea this one can max risk

[gaunt ravine]

what do i look up

[surreal relic]

IC-S-1 突袭 低配
突袭 = Challenge Mode
低配 = Low Rarity

Most guides will still use that -50% CD part, but I remember seeing guides that used more unconventional loadouts

[gaunt ravine]

only 3 videos come up

[surreal relic]

Are you in bilibili.tv? You should go to bilibili.com instead

[gaunt ravine]

ye

Oh

How do I look up car with low req?

[gaunt ravine]

I did it for him using surtyr

[surreal relic]

I don't recall there being a way to look for low car requirements, maybe 不永冻 for no perma freezing but most videos just say low rarity

Since most guides expect you to have all parts before the end of the event

[lethal dragon]

Ok so goblin it's

[graceful bear]

无车

[graceful bear]

Technically Arknights-related because Lowlight

[radiant plinth]

when you still dont have all the parts

[toxic bridge]

i'm having this problem where bubble doesnt do enough damage, any one i could replace her with? either dur-nar or gummy i imagine

[radiant plinth]

gummy does even less damage?

durnar does aoe arts

so

have fun

[toxic bridge]

hmm

my problem is mostly

bubble with her skill just tanks stuff and doesnt do enough damage, if i could i'd use liskarm and quora

[radiant plinth]

quora as in the forum site?

[toxic bridge]

FUCK I MEANT CUORA

[radiant plinth]

3rd time's the charm

[toxic bridge]

yeah i guess so

[plain ginkgo]

which stage? what are you blocking?

[toxic bridge]

just regular gaming ngl

but i guess it does depend on stage, this one im doing could be better with dur-nar ye

[plain ginkgo]

so a situation that require 3 block/damage/ground tiles

[toxic bridge]

yeh

[plain ginkgo]

no Estelle? then Gummy or Dur-nar

[elder flume]

Sounds like E2 Estelle job

[toxic bridge]

yeah durnar it'll be

isnt dur-nar a better defender in most situations since she deals art damamge?

[plain ginkgo]

it can be a problem in some situation when there's Sarkaz (high Res)

[toxic bridge]

fair but im not that far i think

[turbid badge]

Durnar

or if u have shalem from is2 use him , hes durnar but more damage esentially

[plain ginkgo]

He's learning the way of the 4*

[turbid badge]

OHH

his name

shouldve read that

🤯

[toxic bridge]

i think ima skip this 4* only challenge, cuz my strategy isnt good either way and limiting my stuff to 4* only is kinda bad?

gimme your opinions fellas

[turbid badge]

hmm?

[toxic bridge]

should i or should i not do the 4* only challenge?

[limpid siren]

do you have all the meaningful 4*s maxed out?

[graceful bear]

You farm the stages first to max out your 4*s THEN you do the challenge

[toxic bridge]

nope

so im guessning not then

[plain ginkgo]

I think it's a good way to learn tricks (like binding) but you will miss on the DPS part for some stuff

[limpid siren]

well, realistically you can make the cars do a looot of work in this event

but, the weaker your 4*s are, the more the cars have to compensate for

have you been running 4* teams for long?

[toxic bridge]

pretty much since i got jaye

since my only 6* is hoshi

[limpid siren]

weirdly enough, i don't know when you got jaye

[toxic bridge]

like...i dont remember either but since i saw my luck was shit, so like....mid way trough where i am now

my problem now is that i wasted a lot of rescourses on 4*

[limpid siren]

how often do you full clear events with your 4*s?

[toxic bridge]

im not even going for events my guy

just regular play

[limpid siren]

that's not the same thing?

[toxic bridge]

no cuz i got story and eliting to do

[limpid siren]

every story starts somewhere ig

[toxic bridge]

yeh

[limpid siren]

ganbatte

[livid delta]

What's your krooster link @toxic bridge

[toxic bridge]

one sec

[turbid badge]

[toxic bridge]

https://krooster.com/u/Zee

[livid delta]

Is the e1 level 1 thing intentional
Or is that just to highlight who you own

[toxic bridge]

that's thanks to batch settings

so ladder i guess

as you can see

my luck sucks

[lilac oak]

ok usually I like playing IS2 but the monthly squad for jan is so bad
I can't get past the 3rd floor

[turbid badge]

YEAHH

i struggled to get the 3rd record

had to get lucky and get the easy boss and skip stages

[lilac oak]

which boss do you think is the easiest?

I had the ice duo and the colossus so far

[turbid badge]

and by skip stages i mean avoid emergency so i can have lifepoints to sac on the harder stages

[lethal dragon]

Carnelian squad upcoming

[lilac oak]

Carnelian sounds usable

[turbid badge]

ice duo pretty easy for me

[lilac oak]

Iris on the other hand :/

[toxic bridge]

so, fellas, what should i do with my bunch of ops?

[turbid badge]

bruu

[lilac oak]

dang ok skill issue on my part

[livid delta]

I'm not too familiar with 4* only gameplay but what level are these ops

[turbid badge]

Shalem legit carries that team

iris is decent

[lilac oak]

yeahh fr shalem is all the damage

[turbid badge]

she helped on the jetpack stage

[toxic bridge]

20-40

[turbid badge]

Against drones

[lilac oak]

oh ok

[turbid badge]

and uhh boss damage i guess

[livid delta]

Get them to 50 ~ 70 to start off

And how many of them have mod3

[lilac oak]

well I don't know what I did wrong but I started getting the gargoyle stages for the first time while doing the monthly with the shalem team

[toxic bridge]

mod 3?

[lilac oak]

and I just. can't do any damage to the chapter 10 enemies.

[livid delta]

Modules are the secret sauce of making 4* operators usable for the general public

[toxic bridge]

oh, they aint even E2

[turbid badge]

yeah it sucks too since ur on that team u wanna get a healer and a sniper

[livid delta]

Well there's probably your 2nd problem

[fair pasture]

Um I e2 iris then just get thorns and gg

[lilac oak]

any tips on how to get the 3rd record

[turbid badge]

I save for 6 Hope

[fair pasture]

Cheat

[livid delta]

4* units are heavily reliant on raw stats to function properly
Even moreso than higher rarities cause they don't get very strong talent or skill upgrades

[fair pasture]

Is the way I go

[lilac oak]

I've gotten lots of hope but the best tickets I've gotten are medic and specialist over and over so far

[turbid badge]

Nd hopefully get 3 star medic/sniper tocket

[lilac oak]

2 hrs of attempts

[toxic bridge]

i see, so i shouldn't do the challenge right?

[turbid badge]

4 star borrows are hell to find too

[livid delta]

Given that you're not too heavily invested yet you have that option

So it's up to you

[toxic bridge]

yeah i do guess so

[fair pasture]

I don’t know couldve be a myth but I don’t skip specialist or supporter

[toxic bridge]

nah ima use mostly 4*

[lilac oak]

why am I getting stages I've never seen before in monthly squad anyways?

[toxic bridge]

BUT

[lilac oak]

that's never happened before

[toxic bridge]

also use 5* if i see they are better

[fair pasture]

Like pick any 0 hopes for specialist or supporter

Just don’t skip

[livid delta]

Uhh sure
Just keep in mind 4* units really like having maxed levels, masteries and modules

[toxic bridge]

fair, ill just try my best cuz my roster aint that good

[fair pasture]

I got my first playwright encounter in monthly squad

[livid delta]

It sounds like a lot but they're cheap by comparison to anything else

[toxic bridge]

yeah i know

[livid delta]

OK well goodluck

[toxic bridge]

so im confused rn

hol' up shu

[livid delta]

[toxic bridge]

should i do what i say or ya got better ideas?

im open to suggestions

[livid delta]

Idk I'm trying to max out my 4* too

[toxic bridge]

fair enough

[livid delta]

So far it's been working well enough

Like I said the modules really help so I'd consider picking up some good 4* mod3

Like cutter or may for example

[fair pasture]

Do what shu says

Do you pull tho

[lethal dragon]

????? Wtf

[plain ginkgo]

it's not a problem for where you are at the moment but you may remember that Dr.Silvergun's OP's are maxed with lot of experiences with game mechanics

[fair pasture]

Oh so that is not the main acc

[toxic bridge]

yeah fair

[fair pasture]

I did look at the krooster

[toxic bridge]

mine?

no no that's my main

[fair pasture]

um

[toxic bridge]

yes only 6* i have is hoshi

[plain ginkgo]

take your time, learning mechanics is priority for the moment

[turbid badge]

oh damn

[toxic bridge]

i do have 3 alt accs

[fair pasture]

kek

[toxic bridge]

which have already at least 2 6*

but im far into this on my main one

[turbid badge]

the update

it added new stagrs

soo

[lilac oak]

oh right

[turbid badge]

yeah

[lilac oak]

damn

[turbid badge]

4th ending too

[lilac oak]

man I haven't even finished the 3rd

too busy

[turbid badge]

i wanna do it for pokedex

[lilac oak]

same

[lilac oak]

omg

I just needed thorns

[west sedge]

man I'm done fr

[lilac oak]

dude I feel that

I tried for hours when it came out

[west sedge]

this must be the 20th run of today

and this was the closest, yet

we'll get em next time

[lilac oak]

godspeed

[west sedge]

[rose crypt]

can someone explain the sss toron mine boss abilities to me? dont understand how the eye icon affects the ops in waiting zone

[frigid kite]

When you deploy that operator it will immediately have the rock debuff

The other thing he does is just apply the curse to your already deployed operator with highest attack, it doesn't anything more special

[toxic bridge]

sesa sucks big time doesn't he?

[turbid badge]

yea

his skill is kinda wierd to play around

[toxic bridge]

why does he suck tho if i may ask

[turbid badge]

uhh..

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/586588921614303233/941440377104269443/CC0EEAC7-9802-4013-9046-9D856125598D.gif

hes not bad if u use his as a regular artillery sniper,
but theres much more options lol

[toxic bridge]

hmm i dont have any other artilery so

well shirayuki actually

[plain ginkgo]

problem solved

[toxic bridge]

so shira better?

[plain ginkgo]

S2 slow and add art DMG

[toxic bridge]

fair enough

[turbid badge]

yeah

[toxic bridge]

and if i dont want arts damage i just dont use the skill right?

[turbid badge]

uhh

[plain ginkgo]

You use it when you need to kill stuff, it's not a damage type swap

[turbid badge]

i dont think

it umm

damage swap

yeah

its just extra dps

[toxic bridge]

but doesnt it change the damage to arts damage?

[turbid badge]

uhh

did u read the skill?

[toxic bridge]

i did and am confused

does it just add 60% as arts?

[turbid badge]

her inital hit is physical and than her shuriken lingers and does slow + aoe arts damage to a certain area

[toxic bridge]

ohhh ok ok got it

flamebringer also sucks right?

[turbid badge]

yeah, not the best unit to raise

[toxic bridge]

i heard melantha was better than him

[turbid badge]

yeah for being cheaper and doing the same thing at a low level
flamebringer is just a HP soaker and has like 5k-7k hp without any buffs and with investment, his s2 takes too long to charge practically so you usually use s1

spending resources into a mediocre unit is pretty effy if you dont like them enought to bring them into your team

[plain ginkgo]

By the way I put my ID in #friend-id if you want (all 4* maxed out) and some good ops

[lethal dragon]

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

[toxic bridge]

fair

its just that his concept in paper sounds really cool

[turbid badge]

u want bombs that cant miss?

[modern plover]

W bomb can still miss if enemies walk way too fast btw

[solar spindle]

invis enemies be like

[turbid badge]

its okay atleast she has s3

[modern plover]

true

[turbid badge]

loll

even if u un invis, than mark them with w s3 and than they go invis again they dont get damaged

[toxic bridge]

well question then

is blacknight any good? i fear using her cuz she costs 15 dp outright

but its kinda 2 for 1

[solar spindle]

[toxic bridge]

hol up its 13 not 15

damn im blind

[plain ginkgo]

pretty niche, not your average vandguard (mainly bc of sleep), beanstalk is easier to use

[toxic bridge]

i aint got her

[turbid badge]

Hmm

i mean shes not bad

shes not crazy strrong either

but she works at e1

and her aoe arts and cc can come in handy

[soft crystal]

I use blacknight cause she hot

[plain ginkgo]

note that the summon block only one (correct me if wrong) and that you can't retreat it without tossing her

[turbid badge]

yea

u can still activate her skill even when the hypno is dead too, and it still sleeps enemies in the adjacent tiles

[storm current]

Bootleg maskmen 3.0

Next to trapmaster which are bootleg maskmen 2.0

[soft crystal]

Ever tried 5 caster stack bn?

Shits funny

Perma sleepstall for free

[turbid badge]

lol\

[midnight patrol]

Okay, so, even after playing for 3 years now I cannot do well in IS. I try to pick Ops recommended for it but I often die early in the run- even on the easiest mode. I'm always low on hope, even trying my hardest to conserve it and picking 0 cost Ops. Any general advice or is this a "suffer and git good" situation?

[lapis hornet]

who are you starting with

[midnight patrol]

Well it depends on what tickets I get. I try for 2-Block Vanguards like Siege, Courier, or Fang depending on hope... one sec

Was doing the Monthly Squad just now

[lapis hornet]

the what

I would certainly not spend hope on siege or courier

fang's free so you hopefully have another carry

[latent halo]

Is2 u need good aoe dmg on early floor , strong survivability mid floor , later floor u need big dmg op

[lapis hornet]

you start with 8 hope, the easiest way is to pick a 6* who can carry you early even e1

[midnight patrol]

I have many carries but I feel like I always pick the wrong one

[lapis hornet]

like uh kal's an obv example if you have

some ppl like ling I feel it's kinda cope but eh

[midnight patrol]

Ling gets expensive really fast

[lapis hornet]

or like idk, I think gg's fairly popular

[latent halo]

Like , early floor pick gavial , mid floor get mudrock sa , later floor get pozy horn

[lapis hornet]

use gg s1 idk

[midnight patrol]

I can do that

[lapis hornet]

is mud good for 4th ending

[latent halo]

Ya

[lapis hornet]

I find her whatever in is2 but haven't played that in a while

oh yeah gavial forgot yeah

[molten swan]

Uhh

Try my mostima kroos spot start

It reached mouthpiece ending on hard difficulty

Trust

[midnight patrol]

I have Horn but I've yet to quite figure her out

[storm current]

Theres even better, try eben start

[molten swan]

Oh hell nah

[lapis hornet]

horn start is very sus

[midnight patrol]

I do have Eben

E2

[storm current]

Not you

[molten swan]

Horn start works

[storm current]

[molten swan]

Pray you dont get survivalist

[lapis hornet]

everything works if you try I'm trying to help the guy here

[latent halo]

Well u can start with anyone tbh , mizuki meteorite pluma W

[storm current]

Survivalist fuck you up unless your carry is frd

[lapis hornet]

not lol try my mizuki start I got all 4 endings with it

[molten swan]

Gigachad

[midnight patrol]

Mostima is currently in the "WIP" bin sadly. I didn't get her until this year somehow

[molten swan]

Well just a suggestion

Mosti sucks

[midnight patrol]

I have Mizuki E2'd

[molten swan]

Because in my run I basically handicapped myself

By banning most of the bosskillers

[latent halo]

Moduled s2m3 and ur good to go

[molten swan]

So mosti was purely for floor 5

[midnight patrol]

I'll work on that

[lapis hornet]

pluma blue poison also pretty cool and easy start

but probs 6* still easier

[molten swan]

If you want good options start with horn mizuki pluma and stuff

Works well

[midnight patrol]

Pluma I gave E2 S2M3

[molten swan]

Scales to later floors easily

[midnight patrol]

Have*

[lapis hornet]

but yeah don't waste your hope into vgs

vgs aren't even real units

[latent halo]

Myrtle

[storm current]

Cantabile

[midnight patrol]

Not Elysium?

[storm current]

Real

[molten swan]

But but canta aspd synergy

Sadge

Ely is dead weight unless he’s free

[midnight patrol]

I have Cantabile at E2

[lapis hornet]

you can try but it sounds very sus to me

plus you haven't unlocked e2 start right

[tidal sedge]

yeah I only take ely if free or -hope cost relic

[storm current]

I have been liking cantabile

Quite nice even at e1

[lapis hornet]

bro the dude can't even beat easy mode

[molten swan]

Tf

[midnight patrol]

She is quite nice, but I also have Myrtle

[lapis hornet]

I'm trying to give him the easiest start ideas

[latent halo]

Iing

[midnight patrol]

Lee ever worth with S3M3 and upgraded module?

[molten swan]

Uhhh

[latent halo]

But i found mizuki start easiest , clueless

[molten swan]

Lee can handle early floors

[storm current]

You can stop at sl7 and mod1

Since you use lee for his talent

[midnight patrol]

I think I beat easy ONCE but I don't remember who I used

[lapis hornet]

I think you should just jump into normal though

[midnight patrol]

Module cheapens his talent

[molten swan]

Do normal

[lapis hornet]

cause you don't unlock anything with easy

[midnight patrol]

Yeah I've been trying Normal

[lapis hornet]

and if a run can beat easy it can probs beat normal if you have a 3 yr old roster

[midnight patrol]

I'd rather do normal and get the XP losing

[molten swan]

I’m surprised vets can’t do is2

If you sweat it enough you’ll get used to it quickly

[lapis hornet]

if you jump into it blind it's not always obvious

[midnight patrol]

My problem is too many choices I think

[lapis hornet]

it's just trying and getitng used to it

also stop picking siege pepela

[molten swan]

Siege falls off hard on later stages

[midnight patrol]

Got it

Thorns feels like a rough pick because of his reliance on S3

[storm current]

Kind of

Try gavialt

Shes fair way better

[midnight patrol]

Will do

[storm current]

Main difference between them is thorns self heal

[latent halo]

Wait e1 start ? Gavial , pluma , W is easier

[storm current]

Otherwise gavialt hitting for 2k+ is nice

[molten swan]

W?

[lapis hornet]

yeah thorns kinda sus wihtout e2 start

[molten swan]

That costs like 11 hope in total right

[lapis hornet]

with e2 start though it's just cheat mode

[latent halo]

W s2 u just sleep on f1 f2

[midnight patrol]

Sadly, W is one of the 3 limiteds I don't have

I have Fiametta E2 though

[latent halo]

w scales good with a lot of relic

[storm current]

I mewn

W start is definitely more reliable than fiametta start

[dense stone]

i have w and even got her skin but shes so...mediocore

[midnight patrol]

I don't have W

[dense stone]

too bad cause shes waifu material

[latent halo]

U can borrow op for is2 start

[midnight patrol]

True, I forgot that part

[storm current]

In term of borrow

Ling is prob the most braindead one

[midnight patrol]

I have Ling

[latent halo]

E1 start

[lapis hornet]

ling is def not brainded

[storm current]

[dense stone]

yeah especially if you don't start with her promoted

[storm current]

I mean ye

[dense stone]

her skill 1 is weak af

[storm current]

Its braindead if you know how to use hee

[lapis hornet]

you use s2

honestly I don't really like ling either so

[dense stone]

i kmmeep trying to use a support i don't have

[storm current]

I think a summoner is great for IS at least

Scene is still nice

[dense stone]

butr at some point i decided that starting with anybody but thorns is just suboptimal

[midnight patrol]

Scene deserves more love

[storm current]

You can even get away with mayer DC too

Magallan seem kinda questionable tho

[lapis hornet]

if you already know all the maps you can do whatever you want

kinda moot

[molten swan]

Very sleep yes

Normal mode if you know all the maps you can bulldoze through easily

[latent halo]

Oofie : try my mostima start

Also oofie : second 6s pick thorns

[lapis hornet]

wait fia doesn't work well with pasta no? from memory

[molten swan]

Hey I’m a gigachad

[midnight patrol]

Trying a run with Gavialter, Orchid, and Perfumer to start

[molten swan]

It was a decision on a whim

[latent halo]

Giga chad is no meta unit run

[storm current]

Fia doesnt work afaik

[molten swan]

But but canta is meta

[storm current]

Since s2 animation is too long

[tidal sedge]

oofie is the opposite of a gigachad

[latent halo]

Second pick thorns is like , u just abuse thorns

[storm current]

It doesnt benefit from pasta

[molten swan]

You havent seen how little he contributed to the stages after I recruited him lmao

Enemies stat check him so hard blemi could do the same shit as him

[storm current]

Its kinda cringe since stuff like cutter s1 or chen/irene s3 animation take too long so that they dont get full buff from pasta

[latent halo]

What about fuck meta unit

[molten swan]

Is this the challenge

[latent halo]

And take all niche

No

Random run

[storm current]

niche
kroos

Now take adnachiel instead

[latent halo]

Ok buddy , kroos meta

[molten swan]

Niche on gladiia seems like a stretch nowadays

[storm current]

In reality

Shes too beefy she can just hold lane lmao

[molten swan]

She curbs early floors easily

[lapis hornet]

wtf you used ng top 10 unit in the game according to kermit

run def invalid

[molten swan]

All the enemies are just lightweight so she just oneshots

Mfw

[oblique fox]

Between Nearl, Hung, Hoshigumi, and Liskarn
Which one should I invest into?

[molten swan]

Lisk

[oblique fox]

who should be the other defender?

[latent halo]

Ok let me change my word then

I do all meta unit challenge

[oblique fox]

I keep hearing that Hoshigumi is something to avoid among the beginner banner but she's 6*

[fallen yew]

Maybe raise a healing defender instead

[latent halo]

I can tell help gladiia meta lane holder now

[molten swan]

Pepega

AH shill at its finest

[latent halo]

Said by totally not lolicon

[lapis hornet]

gladiia omega broken with mod3 didn't help tell you

[storm current]

According to my quick math

Mountain is 27% more durable than gladiia

And gladiia is basically thorns

So gladiia good

[lapis hornet]

damn gladiia's thorns

[latent halo]

Real

[molten swan]

Specter is basically mountain

[civic nest]

same damage ngl

[storm current]

Gladiia can does 1k normal

2k s2

[lapis hornet]

damn crazy

[storm current]

And art aoe s3

Damn

[latent halo]

Let me take ss real quick so i can argue with ppl

[turbid badge]

fia can only use pasta on s2 if u have a crap ton of aspd relics

[storm current]

Gladiia can solo caster

[lapis hornet]

also did you know skadi has higher damage per hit than surtr

[storm current]

What can thorns do

Die?

[latent halo]

Imma fight ppl in help now

[lapis hornet]

AH just broken beyond belief man

[storm current]

Also

Gladiia s1 is 210% scaling on 4s cooldown

[turbid badge]

ashring homework

[storm current]

Afk real

[latent halo]

Base on the info i get from u dalaos
Gladiia > thorns
Specter > mountain
The future is now

[civic nest]

some dude still believe that penace will replace mudrock or some shit

[storm current]

Gladiia powercreep snipers

Real

[lapis hornet]

damn

[civic nest]

gladiia power creep every archetype

dam

[lapis hornet]

according to my quick math gladiia can block 100% more enemies than chalter

[storm current]

Gladiia can tank patriot spear

Snipers cant

Real

[latent halo]

Ur timing is wrong

Its only 2 frame if u mean s3 dodge

[civic nest]

u need to activate her s3 when u see the ⚠️ turn red

[soft crystal]

Gladiia also powercrept ur mom
