ayo shu
I dont farm chips because i farm events, i don't have chips to build operators, i don't have correct material for shit i need, infinite cycle during which my LMD just climbs 
shu one question, https://krooster.com/u/Zee krooster again, my 4* phase is over, who should i build now?
also question, ashlock, only good for the artilery right?
Fire Whistle (from CN limited event) looks so much cool 
Fire Whistle is 5 star Ashlock and her S2 makes neat anti ground arts dot
85% of her ATK on M3 each second for 6 second on 5 tiles (one she shot and 4 next to it) and she like almost 1000 atk let me double check
Oh it is because she gain +12% atk when not blocking, around 900 without it
5* ashlock
so, ashlock

She is personal this piece of shit from IW
the only thing thats more noticeable about fire whistle is that when she blocks she doesnt switch to melee mode like horn
which is nice if horn can does that
She switch to melee and her talent give 12% DEF instead ATK, but her S2 will still set tile on fire
very cool
17 duration, 40 SP, damage is 
oh and tile burning still lasts after skill ends

ah yes, star craft 2
shield enemies are 15k hp and 35 res
huh, Lin event (I am not remembering that Chongus name, okay?
) has almost no Res on enemies
Meanwhile dog has 800 def
man that is some weird ass thumbnail right there
maybe I am not art enough idk 💀
it is gamer meme thumbnail
where'st've the vernal winds ain't blowing
WVWWNB event
I'd promote base operators to e1 asap if you haven't already
Somehow clicking on myrtle made me click on rock and I undeployed a rock

9-14 CM is so disgusting

my CM progress is up to 4-9 
Isn't that just hold 2 lanes and win
Hold 1 lane and win 
Ya I solved it more or less
Just
Hate gargoyles
And them suddenly deciding to fly over everything if you don’t take care of it
God bless fiammetta being able to oneshot thru stone form
"suddenly deciding" How the fuck you suddenly kill it 
I had monter placed on one place hoping I can spawnkill it when it gets blocked
Turns out
If gargoyle gets blocked and enters stone form
If the blocker isn’t facing it
It won’t hit it

oh yea it is not blocked suddenly, great game design
Consistently come up with new ways to fuck you over 
Every multi phase enemy does that
Invulnerability also makes something unblockable
Just got silverash. Should i spend some originium prime to get guard chips to promote him? He would be my 3rd elite 2.
I remember 9-12 cm was funny
speed?
Nvm, wouldn't have the credits after leveling him
csnt remember
9-12 is super speed ye
Hey I did the past 7 floors in SSS first try so I can get the medal if I first-time this stage but I've never done it before, can someone tell me the best place for irene and GG? GG placement is probs 4head as fuck but idk where to put Irene.
Advice for the boss would be nice too 
Get lucky
That’s basically how you beat floor 8 boss mechanic

Don’t draw when clearing waves if boss shits in your deck and you didn’t clean it out
Otherwise mobs will run through
Hardest part of this stage is not even boss itself. But the fact that screw you there is 37 enemies to kill before wave 1 ends 
So you pretty much stuck with your starting hand for wave 1
I just camp in this area
LESGOOO

Does lumen's status removal work on self-inflicted stun like for amiya, specter, eunectes, liskarm, etc?
ye
it’s cc effect
but they need to lose hp before lumen can remove the status efffect
Need some help here
Rarity aboose moment 
move up so you can spawnkill more
Read my nickname sir
gg is good to promote for her s3
Bro wtf
wat?im too lazy to type it out
oh and surtr right below cheetos (or better blocker)
Got a question in IS station if anyone wants to help
fireball dude stuck there (insta free target practice for my plat) so hillarious
so i have promoted my 3rd op
i have jaye, cutter and now utage
who should i perhaps go for next? another dps?
what’s your roster
i should start putting this https://krooster.com/u/Zee in my bio
i think its up to date
(levels and elites arent tho
Wow
Level your E2s to 30 (Jaye 40 for module) and, what's your account wise, only 4*?
Hello gentlemen, I'm here to ask some help with clearing chernobog. I'm basically new so I'm still learning strats so sorry my ignorance
Is kroos a 3 star?
Oh and, do you have Shaw perhaps?
No worries, you might want to e1 some key units first before taking on Chernobog. From what I saw, SilverAsh e1 s2 + Shaw sl4 can take care of top right lane. For the other two lanes, Gummy, Cuora, Perfumer, Shirayuki, Siege, Pinecone, Click, Gitano are great for now imo
I made her lv 38 with a promotion
I'm very sorry I'm genuinely very stupid with these things, what's e1/s2/sl4
Oh really nice
- E0/E1/E2 refers to elite 0/1/2
Ok thanks
Basically higher elite = more skills, higher skill level cap, more/better talent(s), more stats cap
S1/2/3 = skill 1/2/3
Sl1/2/3...7 = skill level 1/2...7
M1/M2/M3 = skill mastery (only available after e2 & sl7 & for 4*+ units)
I can't promote him yet, I'm missing some parts for it
Anyway you might want to e1 a few units first
@zenith orchid Have you read /newtips in #bot-spam ?
It's fine
shaw is given for free anyway quite early because game give you HOLE tutorial of sorts 
Nah anything goes
I just loved those 4*
Bruh. Mech caster has incredibly low atk stats ain't it
Their niche is "wow, skill is active, i'm really useful now!"
That can be used for a lot more of operators anyways, lol
But Mech casters specifically use their drones when skill is active, that's the why
hey.. they have higher aspd than normal casters 
high attack stat doesnt mean too much when u look at aoe casters
Mathematically, how can they be good attacker even with their skill activated. 200-300 base atk in E2 lv 60 is waay too low
But they just good lol
Read their trait
The "damage will increase up to 110%"?
Its extra hit
How do I calculate it lol
So the first hit does 120%, 2nd does 135% and increase by 15% for every sequential hit
Up to 210%
And, aside from that, they usually add utility as Stun, slow, frozen, AoE global explosión damage, drones stuff
Someone doesnt know maffs
This is my team, but I think need better medics maybe
dps pretty good yeah, rockrock s1 vs s2 lul
on average you probs need a more consistent arts dps source
For general use the only better medic you can get is NG/ptilo over perfumer
definitely don't need more medics lmao, mud and saria over-carry
Yea. Imma go try getting eyja or someone similar soon
You may replace suzu for a sniper
also is that S2 💀
real
can someone help me beat ce-5 please
yeah what's causing problems
yeah im using them
you could try leading 2 DPS units instead of vanguards
E1 surtr and E2 silverash on regen tiles should work
wait that's E1 silverash

should still work actually
SA s2 can work
i only got 1 e2 i doubt i can touch it 💀
it's got defense crushers which is a pain
She can cycle quick enough for most mobs
no way i was actually so close to beating it
LOL I DID IT WTF
I struggled more on ce-5 than i did on ce-6
bring more maskmen lol
you should tnk with your sniper
not vanguard
since vanguard has no dmg
thats what i did
chalter the real tank ong
So if I beat tfn mandragora ez without kazi squad
Does that mean story mandra will be ez too?

2 lane defend
Story mandra easier
story mandra is so much easier because you can just throw roccs at her
local sand cat gets crushed by falling rocks
potentially related to the series of muggings of an old wendigo
Ok I had the most scuffed run ever
But it still worked
Local cat really did get thrown stones at her
By a funny polish horse
Oh wait no
Gravel is rat

What’s the exact number for gg explosion chance?
Since the 10% is only an approximation
idk I can't maff
i havent taken stats in forever but ill try to calc the expected value in a bit
its a bit cringe to just say "ah but i ran this 1mil times in python so it must be true"
ah rereading it i noticed first sum symbol should be from 1 to 41, oh well

What the fuck

Wait mandragora has reduced damage in phase 1 already
I always thought it’s only when hovering

this is what teacher told you when saying "maths will be important for you in the future"
Wtf
True
i think actually calculating expected value is much more convincing than the "expected value" that people tell me when they talk about average amount of pulls required for a 6*, which actually just comes from running a python loop a morbillion times
so i figured deriving it would be interesting
and it turned out to be a good refresher on expected value anyway
Could someone sell me on s2m3 gnosis? I can't find a reason to do it 
Me neither

cant, i tried coping it in is3 which is the best mode for it, and it still sucks a load of cocks
Even dalaokermit can't sell me s2m3 gnosis
4 second freeze on how much sp

32 sp?
14 iirc
28 overcharge?
Oh 12 overcharge

even with cc relic and ptilo sp lockout makes it not perma cc
i hate it so much
dies from cringe
S3 is just way better
So gnosis m6 might not be worth the resources at all
the superior strategy is to not wait for overcharge and auto attack into s2 instead, this is actually perma cc
S1… maybe?
just very hard on the hands
S1 only double attack
Which is useless when you have high aspd relic/fullstack sniper gnosis
Only use for S2 I found is when there was a load of mobs and S3 wouldn’t do it in time and I needed insta-freeze
Which was exactly one stage and even then cause I was dumb
Oh now you mention it
Is there any actual stage where gnosis s2m3 benefits more than s3m3? 
Since s2 is aoe and s3 is just mt
S2M0 and M3 do the same thing so idk

S2 is only useful over S3 if you have like, idk, 10 mobs running at the same time and S3 won’t freeze them all in time
one less sp ends up pretty significant
unironically IS only
Gnosis S2 into Fia S2
and with the precondition of cc relic too
Alright, it's probably not worth pushing guardvial s2m3 down for gnosis s2m3 then
Thanks peeps

S2 use case: aoe spinach skill
Doesn’t S2 have no damage
nonzero 
ngl i used it like once in WR-EX-6 or sth and immediately after found that S3 worked anw

S2 is nice for grounding Dublinn hoverboards
Any tips on how to beat WD-EX-8 using my Roster? Who should I borrow as a Support?
https://krooster.com/u/Inugami69
Idk about s2m3 for that though
Just S1 then
Your firepower looks fine.
Does s1 ground the frequent trios like in H9-4?
it removes 1 sp from 7 to 6 and extra second of cold
idk it looks nice
if u do use s2
that is
actually wait, there's exactly one good use for gnosis S2

S3 cd I think is too long
that's to cancel colossus gaming's stun attack if you can't nuke it

stiill don't need M3 for that though 
i mean s2 is every cold every 6 seconds and than for freeze its just a little more
his s3 costs 40 seconds
What parts are you struggling with exactly? Ufo? Strikers? Emperor Blade? Post EB death strikers?
What stone cat 
Mandragora

I was thinking if ntr is a good borrow to kill her asap
But idk how high her def is
She doesn’t laser if u pillar
Phase 1 
the Emperor 🌬️ and the post EB strikers.
Does she laser in phase 2 even after pillar? 
Like 624 def if this 9-19 cm
She flies again ina bit
But usually she dies after two pillars anyways
Oh wait nobody’s sharing ntr s2 nowadays
It might be helpful to know that the smoke affects enemies after Emperor Blade dies
Do I cope with S3 
So strikers will have a 9 second atk interval which makes them easy to stall
man is all hp
So you could blow your firepower on EB, then stall with defense perhaps until your firepower is ready to deal with the strikers after
Is it?
I’ll check practice to see what would go wrong with a pot6 s3m3 ntr 
Phase 1 is still worth

Borrow chen s3m3
Regular chen s3m3 have someone to bait the farts
Warfd she will oneshot eb
I think irene will die if you use her instead of chen
Chen>Irene
when should I use Ch'en?
Whenever
Hyperbuff chen and watch her melt eb
Well 1 phase
Just do the same on second phase
Good luck surviving eb for 70 seconds though 
You can also kill eb first phase normally
And chen burst the second
ok ill try that
If you use chen the farts will all go on one operator
Bruh ntr s3 bad I guess
Be sure to use bait for that
Who else could nuke mandra after pillar 
bait? like A Gravel?
Nobody’s sharing S2 cause of cc
I like silverass
Can place on left side and hit middle, while mandra gets raped
Amiya s3 + a pillar or two should kill her
Actually what I will try is giving ntr ptilopsis

Maybe then she’ll nuke her p1 and not die
pozy suzu is the new ifrit suzu
Since when did iffy suzu a thing

Saria iffy still makes sense
But usually main dps isnt iffy but someone else
Since iffy is a debuffer
suzu basically increase the length of the path
pozy typewriter usually have only 1 tile to nuke
suzu make that 1 tile into 5 practically
She should die soon right
She doesn’t get more atk in p2 right?
Ptilo s2 keeps ntr alive through laser
I will
To disable hovering + damage reduction
If you knock all 4 pillars on her she takes 48k/50k
Uhh I can only knock three I think
Bait the pillars
Unless her cooldown resets after she takes a bonk
Only if there's an op there
By deploying op
If there's no op where the pillar falls mandra doesn't knock it over
Ah wait I can wait for her to drop pillar on myrtle
Deploy op near pillar > she takes down the said pillar > pillar drops coincidentally with your op
just place
Btw there are no tiles there to bait pillar onto mandra
You have to knock it over yourself
Ig you're fine with thorns regardless

I didnt think your team would be this buffed
Oh well, gg makes quick work of mandra anyways
Even if you messed up, gg should be able to kill
I did not use pillars for gargoyles once
Fiammetta oneshots them
Pozemka too
I even forgot to change gnosis to s3 

Tsundere stone cat no more
What ops should I bring for cc 10
Huh
what does the airstrike target?
highest block count
ahhh
thats why the airstrike made a last second decision to kill my gavialter
sadge that i still dont have hoshiguma
Does Heavy Rain's camouflage works to avoid the mortor ? Is it worth trying ?
I might be wrong but mortar does hit invis unit
Camo'd units won't get targeted by cannon if that's what you're trying to do
^
= placed on vents
But what if like u use the skill at the right time to avoid the damage
Camo units still take splash damage
Oh ya true
If you trigger camo before the bar fills, the cannon will simply switch to the last deployed highest block unit
Yah I get it now. Thanks for clarifying it
Just in case where do I block here it's stage 1-6
There is already a recomendation placement for the roadblock itself
You just need to use vanguard so the dog enemy not get passed
Only 9 chapters to go
If you want to progressing stuff to do, then now is good time because cc is basically dead weeks
how to beat anni 3 with this team?
Uh
Borrow thorns i guess
Actually no
Borrow ifrit
Your team doesnt have enough art to deal with the defense crusher at later waves
S2
and what are the placements
i do have ptilopsis
raised?
Anni 3 ifrit placement is generally on the very top, on the right, facing down
only lvl 50 e0
may be too underleveled then
oh i dont have shaw at sl7
its only for cheese but seem like you cant do that
ifrit here?
yes
face down
Annihilation 3 with a squad that has Exusiai and Ifrit as core operators.

you would use a set up similar to this
but
It only requires M1 on the third skill of Silver Ash.
If you already have an E2 Silver Ash, you can easily get an auto with him carrying, or borrow a support that you are missing.
The redeployment means more micromanagement, though!
Vigna can be Shaw instead.
you can try this one too
Notalec#6194 add me
e2 sa and borrow thorns 2 aa 2 medics 1 flag shaw can deal with anni 3 omega smoothly
this one is very very hard to replicate
How is it “hard”
It involve stalling so
when a new player is asked to stall 
Thorns anni3 easier
there is a big chance that sa will die from the drone lazers at the first crushers wave then the last crusher needs mousse most likely because sa won't have his skill ready
Can anyone help with playwright
How to clear 6-5 its a stage where hoshiguma shine but i didnt build her i have mudrock
I accidentally triggered it and i have no idea how to play it
how leveled is your mudrock
In lvl 55 and with skill max not mastery e1
spawncamp playwright
Relics
ye u good
ah can u just borrow a hoshi
just dleete playwright woth pozy surtr
How
then do the stage normal

Ok...if there is no hoshi maybe build her or build bubble
don’t build them just for 1 stage
Maybe thats a bad idea
Oh
the stage can be cleared without both easily
How did you “accidentally” trigger playwright
@astral vapor how many hp u have
34
You know you needed like two relics to actually make the fight possible right
Those being?
Playwright is male?
anyway among hs
Wait its not possible without?
Shitttr
I just fucking took the playwright unlock
Didnt know it was the unlock stage
Just took the dangerous battle randomly
So im fucked?
for mobbing ye
plus u have gavial anyway if mont3r ded on lane holding
How many trash mobs spawn?
62
shaman
od rock cancer
that have spear
4 block golem
and just trash mob

Is true damage buffed by fragile effects?
yes
Ok ty
@civic nest how to position my unit on the 6-5 map i already use the guide in utube but it didnt work
Its like i have an error in it
My team
mudrock
Dead enough
Splendid
You dont need to tank if everything is dead
Which defender?
i already got mah babe utage and my brotha jaye and cutter too
would be between dur-nar or lisk
grats
Lisk is mainly an sp battery(unless u need to tank arts then her e2 talent can be very handy)
Idk bout durnar
dur nar is preddy
and her S2 is just a straight up upgrade from S1
and a pretty cool skill unless faced vs very high Res enemies
4 star defenders are usually better than 5 stars
i got quite a few defenders that are 5* and even 6* hoshi
Aside from damage ones and nearl and lisk
Czerny and the IS defender crying
only 4★ def i use on is2 is just cuora and durnar
i croissant any gud?
good
Gummy:
s1 
i actually have gummy she's pretty kewl
At least gummy got that chance to deal stun and big dmg
Gummy and spot are totally different
Gummy has consistent healing that makes your ops not unalive thenselves on poison gas
poison gas is not probelm anyway if u have ansel
spot can gibe dodge u know
don't ignore him
Why bring either then if you have ansel
i rarely grab gummy on 4★ is2 run
Ansel is king in is2
dodge good
0 hope medic

pure medics are mostly not used
i use susuro mostly in is the rest just pray that they survive 
Actually
All 4 star medics are pretty decent are keeping ur team alive
But 5 stars... Warfarin and ptilopsis..
6 stars... Ka-, i mean nightingale
Purestream e2 got used?
purestream with module have insane heal kek
can u use 2 guard skadi module at the same time
No
lul
which skadi module should i get
Freeze stack with fragile
Enemy that's gotten frozen on gnosis range gets fragile
Fragile doesn't stack. Only the highest apply
?
Lumen kal and ng are all good

thats what i meant about the Fragile
Is it possible to hospital Jaye through today's max risk?
Everyone but shining
Increase atk to 115% when attacking blocked enemy one
guess I only pick one
whats frd
I'm not aethervoid/module nerd. I only remember what they do, not their name 
Fast redeploy

oh
Skadi with frd mod is like 30s frd iirc
Not as fast as an actual frd but it helps a lot
what does 2nd module works with
Why does kalstit have 5 range of tiles
Just because
Yes
when defeated revives but -hp and +spd
Increase atk to 115% > s2m3
Revive upon being defeated > s3m3
I assume HG wanted more flexibility with mon3tr placements, but then again, it's just the way it is
Horn and skadi are the only ops to have a '2nd life' right? (exclude all dollkeepers)
aight https://krooster.com/u/Zee whomst to e2 next, may? meteor? lapland? whomst
Flamebringer goddammit 
He's a freebie from long ago
/her
Lamebringer
Do you think someone good is lame
He's quite underwhelming
Lame, you might say
Permanent skill and talent is good for long stage
But when they're activated and maxstack talent, the stage should end already
As always game descriptions ls very helpful 
Pompeii
Ya now u know theres lava crack that deal dmg surrounding 8 tiles
Where is the lava??
Good point
you see the glowing thingies, those spew lava
But there is mini volcanos that appear
So by that logic
Those should be the lava cracks
How pain is the lava?
Ill be honest that contract is a joke
U can just superbuff pompeii and leak him
Unless ur max risk
deals true damage, without hp down or lava tile tags it's pretty manageable
hp down 2 might be frisky
any 2 lava tags makes it pretty painful
Like the cannon
So take the top tag?
What top tag
this vid's from a couple seasons ago but it's basically the same idea here ig
https://youtu.be/8GLStFiE5Fg

So I need to take both to unlock rank 2?
ergates are pretty squishy and r1 pompeii is E1 jaye fodder
No e1 jaye
L 
Then just e1 him
Can I sutr it?
Absolutely
lmao wait you have mountain, this is even easier
How does mountain change things?
Do NOT surtr pompeii
he solos everything on the left including pompeii
That shitter has ridiculously high res
Surtr ignore some res tho
don't try that at high risk though
I REPEAT DO NOT TRY TO SURTR IT
Not enough dps on high risk

mountain, cheetos, poz and idk perfumer should be ehough for r2
Can hospital Jaye survive max risk?
No chalter I can try pozy+cone
When Pompeii enrages shit hits the fan

4op
As long as you don't pick the Res risk you'll be fine
oh yh don't duel it near your ranged ops
below half hp it starts doing the kablooey
(read: it dusk S1's your ops)
Which blue box he go for?
left
after contigency level 1 that map is ez
from left to right, it goes up the first lane, down the third, and exits just above the blue box on the second lane
just dont select the life point risk
pompeii officially recruited into rhodes, codename 
I can't don't choose tho
I need 2 level to rank up
Wait hang on
Go to the training thingy
On the left side of the main maps
They have eaiser risks there for you to unlock the tiers first
It affects the daily one too?
Yeh
Atk down is pretty free, without shit like wrath speed DP generation down 
i return with more questions
i gotta start thinking by myself ngl
anyways, i wanna E2 dur-nar is she worth it?
or should i just go for may/kroos 5*
No e2 better ones
Arts defender are not used much
Or are you doing nicheknights
im doing loveknights
bassicly the ones i like
right now the only ones i have E2 are jaye and utage (cutter too but i regret her)
ethan solos wraith lane 
?
i see
All the chalter supports I see are s3m3
balance?
You still trying to Ling only your way though content?
Hmm
s2?
On courier slot?
Then how I get dp?
no?
im not sure if theyll powercreep ling
Me neither, but I heard his good
tf
Show me vanguard and sniper you have
Wait no need
Use mountain
Ptopsis
And archerto? Is that the one
What about the right slot?
Leak the boss
Don't I need to defend there???
Wait
Mountain is enough for left side
Sniper on right
Aoe medic to cover both
guys
Wait lemme ss my run
2
I don't know. I don't know your expectations here in the question.
Here
You have a few good e2 6s but not a lot of ops.
Does pozy need m3 for this to work?
Mine only level 7
Mountain only m2
Kinda no
@pearl muskcan you help me
She has a typewriter to help
??
can you tell me which arknights i should level
https://krooster.com/u/aknoob
Someone used kroos in place of poz and still got it
Fartooth
why her
She is good
how bout chen
Chen the sword master or Chen the spreadshooter
Tell me what you have difficulty in
Killing bosses?
Or smthing
Err
just in case ling gets power creep
Euten the duelist tank or whatever her name is s3 is pretty good
You could pull on the mlynar banner and get a top3 dps
No
I'll tell you something
There is a cn sever
Server
Hg releases content there
And the global server gets it in 6 months
So we can predict what we can have in future
is she sexy
Xd
Ya I cleared it thanks
To give you nothing but dread, tomorrow's map is one of the hardest
Sounds fun
I gave up on it during cc9
Do it
