strategy

[storm current]

h7-4 was piece of cake

[vernal lion]

currently it's h8-4, seen you have to save those useless civilians

[storm current]

well

theres a huge time gap between chapter 6 and 7

h8-4 was hard too but i was manage to figure the set up out

h6-4 still haunted me tho

i dont remember what i used

[vernal lion]

I did H6-4 with Scene and Mayer, by using bot to bait the spider

[proud drift]

I'm guessing 6-3 was hard for its time

but fiammetta trivialized it

[storm current]

its kinda hard because even with lappland

spider can kill you

but not as hard as h6-4 for me

also

scene didnt exist during h6-4

[sinful gull]

Nice , I Used Blaze instead of Thorn in this Stage

[proud drift]

huh

scene?

[storm current]

the message above

[proud drift]

thorn was useless anyways

[sly pivot]

chapter 6 gets trivialised by lee

[vernal lion]

but I mean, later you got more op, the old chapter is a piss

[proud drift]

time to see what's so funny about 6-4

wait but couldn't they just put an undeployable tile on these

[sly pivot]

damn its like new operators have kits that dunk on old mechanics

[proud drift]

like these I mean

[sly pivot]

whats the difference

[proud drift]

idk just looks silly

[sweet surge]

God tier strat right here

[vernal lion]

I don't even use them

[sly pivot]

youre a silly goober

[sweet surge]

Nothing getting through the absolutely chaotic damage of ranged units

[vernal lion]

h6-4 is all about crowd control

[proud drift]

144 enemies

[vernal lion]

if you don't want to mess up with your aoe dmg, learn about baiting

[storm current]

@proud drift wait have you not done h6-4

[proud drift]

no I just started doing H stages

[storm current]

ok ok

now do h8-4

to suffer the cringe i went through

[proud drift]

BRO

FROST NOVA

UNDEPLOYED MY TYPEWRITER

????????????

[toxic bridge]

Is Tomimi aka THICC tail croc any good?

[storm current]

no

[sweet surge]

Wtf how is this possible

[signal granite]

if you like fake caster

[toxic bridge]

I like reptiles

I wanna be the reptile man

[sweet surge]

Can someone explain to me how I’m able to brute force IS with ranged units only

[toxic bridge]

But I'm afraid of niche teams

[proud drift]

well

[storm current]

easy @sweet surge

[sly pivot]

game is easy

[proud drift]

baiting what

[storm current]

the deep investigation doesnt allow you to have melee recruit

[proud drift]

[storm current]

however

[proud drift]

I just press ptilo s2

and mortars don't do anything

[storm current]

you can still get dual recruit like supporter/defender

or caster/specialis

just recruit a melee that way

[proud drift]

I guess I did have to drop a couple blemishines and bagpipes along the way

for the silly drones and mortars

what a fuckin mess of a stage tho lmao

[storm current]

or just

use summoner

[glass monolith]

Hipity hopitiy your operator tile is banned

[sweet surge]

IS aint ready for me

[proud drift]

that's a weak team

[signal granite]

you take kalsit mean you accept mont3r ?

[sinful gull]

I Like StormEye , Pozemka is Boss killer
I will Play Deep Investigation Modes , Especially Ranged one

[proud drift]

H7-1 does not look funny

[hazy elk]

Are there any guides for this contract combo

[sly pivot]

its p funny

just a bit

[proud drift]

wait

I have a banger idea for it tho

fire chicken moment

[glass monolith]

h7-1 is blood knight AI red icebreakers?

[proud drift]

it's this

[glass monolith]

oh, lame

[proud drift]

I didn't know you get barricades

[glass monolith]

I was thinking about you know, exploding bugs electric boogaloo

[proud drift]

oh those were ez

also fire chicken gaming

[glass monolith]

FUCKING GIVE ME THAT ARCHETTO

[sly pivot]

first time i see a middle funnel

[proud drift]

Fiammetta

legit

shitmurdered everything

it's the perfect fiammetta showcase stage

I wanted to have mudrock top and blemi instead of bottom barricade

but realised it's better to just have everything funnel into mudrock

[glass monolith]

5 more useless standard banners between me and archetto

[proud drift]

@glass monolith I'm guessing you meant this one

[glass monolith]

Yea that shit

Pure evil ice breakers

[tidal sedge]

how to build my team?

[proud drift]

wtf

shieldguard jumpscare

[latent monolith]

Just surtr it

[proud drift]

surtr?

that's a weird sounding fiammetta

[latent monolith]

I don't think there's a good fia tile for all 5

[proud drift]

it hits 4 that's enough for me

[rough anvil]

Fia? That's a weird sounding horn

[coral haven]

Idk that looks like Irene abuse.

[glass monolith]

Ambriel showcase map

[latent monolith]

That's like most of chapter 7

All hail the one true sniper

[proud drift]

ok the map was a bit easier than I expected

[latent monolith]

Ye, the ergates can be annoying though if you don't camp the right lane with someone

[proud drift]

wait 7-4 is patriot

who's 7-3?

oh

no leader

nvm then

poor patriot

[lethal kiln]

im in need of help once again!

s5-8

[storm current]

you can uh

block 2 path and win

[lethal kiln]

yea. smart, its not like my ops get destroyed or just straight up ignored. nope, not at all

[fierce ore]

I'm super stuck on LT-6 Toron Mine, I've been on it for like 2 hours, please I need some kind of strategy, this is my squad

[storm current]

uh

2 supporter

it wont be easy

[fierce ore]

Yeahh, don't have many supporters built

[signal granite]

Suzu has S2M1?

[foggy grove]

They don't have to be built

[fierce ore]

No unfortunately, it's from random support unit, all are lv 7

[foggy grove]

Just for draw power

[fierce ore]

Almost none showed up in recruitment anyway heh

[foggy grove]

They should be in your initial deck

For future run

[fierce ore]

Yeah, I should probably change that

[solemn anvil]

1. X = vanguard/temporary blockers
   2.S = sniper facing right (exu s1 maybe?)
   3.L=lappland face down
   after both casters dies reinforce with medic/sniper
   replace temporary blockers with defender 1 tile right of their place

sub out lava and catapult and bring other vanguards if needed

oh and you can place anyone at V to help bot lane

if you dont mind not getting auto deploy borrowing mountain with s2 can make it cheaper to deploy for 1 lane (place at X)

[proud drift]

wtf is this stage

[cursive wedge]

[proud drift]

does that mean there's only up to H8-3?

[lethal kiln]

mountain is?

[cursive wedge]

brawler guard

can solo lanehold many stages

[solemn anvil]

a guard type

[proud drift]

HUH WAIT WHAT

DOES TALULAH CLEAVE

there was a myrtle, a ptilopsis and a fiammetta all full hp

talulah went schwing

suddenly all 3 gone

[solemn anvil]

there was

[somber falcon]

it's a big ass sword slash animation
wdyt

[proud drift]

this stage is not funny

[latent monolith]

H8-3 is singer mephisto

[proud drift]

wtf

[signal granite]

H8-3 is Talulah, H8-4 is the Black Snake

[proud drift]

I'm on h8-2

and it's talulah

[latent monolith]

2 is talulah 3 is singer mephisto

[solemn anvil]

why do you think not many showcase shows talulah? she aint playing with you

[proud drift]

guess I'm not defending left side

[sly pivot]

any deranged czerny max s1m3 havers?

[somber falcon]

guess who's going there

[proud drift]

WAIT H STAGES DO REFUND ONLY HALF SANITY

WTF

[latent monolith]

Practice plan moment

[solemn anvil]

are you out of practice plans?

[proud drift]

no I just

thought they refund fully

[solemn anvil]

Today You Learn

[somber falcon]

[latent monolith]

I think I'll try chapter 11 adverse + H on release, I don't feel like wasting that much sanity

I'll probably hate myself for this

[molten swan]

funny

[latent monolith]

Imagine blocking 1800 true damage

"Parry this you filthy casual" - talulah probably

[somber falcon]

just outheal

[proud drift]

HUH

SHE WALKS STRAIGHT TO THE LEFT SIDE

BUT THAT'S NOT ORANGE COLOR ON BOTTOM LEFT

[solemn anvil]

juked

[proud drift]

well either way

goldenglow moment

[molten swan]

lmao

there's only one tunnel in that map

what do you think

[proud drift]

idfk

for some reason I thought she's gonna walk out middle

walk around

and then walk left

[solemn anvil]

nah talulah about to appear from one of the holes like mario

[signal granite]

that colour of tunnel really make player confuse (2 entry 1 exit)

[proud drift]

ok mephisto is kind of a scary one

[signal granite]

that map alr show how mephisto move

[proud drift]

ye I can see

maybe not as scary as I thought

nvm

he farted so hard

my burst squad

fucking exploded

[molten swan]

skull

can't you just do like

gav s3 buff army

[proud drift]

it's ok ptilopsis healed the 2 core units

so stage is won

no throwers made this stage very easy

[signal granite]

ya no damn thrower

[proud drift]

huh

why does black snake stage have this text

[latent monolith]

Yes there are civillians

[proud drift]

yes but

why

[signal granite]

cause you need to save them with 6 lane

[latent monolith]

You have to ensure talulah doesn't ignite them

And that they don't get fireball smacked

[proud drift]

why does the worst mechanic in the game have to be paired with one of the hardest bosses

[latent monolith]

At least 4 lanes of fireballs needs to be blocked

A civ can survive one

[solemn anvil]

~~defended ~~requires blood sacrifice

[molten swan]

ah yes

h8-4

[latent monolith]

Basically bring NG

[molten swan]

the stage that stumped me the longest

[proud drift]

[molten swan]

ok for your squad the strat should be uh

let's see

some op kills 2 ursus drones

[proud drift]

goldenglow and/or poze

[molten swan]

ng whisp heals thorns or sth

depends on if they can outheal before she does the funny cross snap

[proud drift]

is H8-4 talulah stronger than jt8-3?

cause in jt8-3 blemishine could permatank talulah

[molten swan]

no shit ofc she's stronger

[proud drift]

wait cross snap?

[molten swan]

90k hp and 1.5k atk on second phase

have fun :)

[proud drift]

are you saying fireballs won't come only from left?

[molten swan]

tbe detonate thingy

[proud drift]

oh

you scared me

[glass monolith]

Hey this SSS mode is sorta fun when you have S2M3 Sora

[molten swan]

if you can outheal the burn before she does that then you're fine with not baiting

else uh

bait

[solemn anvil]

oh normal Talulah has higher attack?

[signal granite]

flame ball come from left as usual

[molten swan]

ng+any immortal op works to cover 4 lanes

[proud drift]

so basically

[molten swan]

or uh

just use cage lmao

[proud drift]

H8-4 has CM stats right?

[molten swan]

uhhh

no???

[proud drift]

[tidal sedge]

yeah sora is actually good in SSS

[molten swan]

CM is a buff

not independant stat

[proud drift]

I thought level 1 meant challenge mode version generally

[latent monolith]

Level 1 usually means EX/H stage stats

Challenge mode stat is stage dependent

[tidal sedge]

challenge mode is just modification of level 0 stats

[molten swan]

no

challenge mode is a buff to all enemies

not just one boss

and uh no it's not always buffs to level 0 stats

3-8 cm skullshatterer has a fuck ton of hp

[glass monolith]

And it totally don't take me 2-3 reset per map to get the combo

[molten swan]

and the original stat is level 2-ish?

think of it like this

enemy levels affect only boss

cm affects all

done

[elder flume]

maps have their own numbers

i can never trust level

i just go to mapark when i wana see actual stats

[tidal sedge]

3-8 cm has an 80% hp buff to every enemy

[molten swan]

tf

huh true

yeahhhh

+80%

[proud drift]

WAIT BUYT

HOW DO I PREVENT HER FROM IGNITING CIVILIANS

SHE LITERALLY RANDOMLY IGNITED CIVILIANS

[storm current]

[proud drift]

WHEN I HAVE THIS MUCH SHIT ON SCREEN

[tidal sedge]

use therapist

[proud drift]

WHAT DID I DO WRONG

[tidal sedge]

oh wait you are

[molten swan]

bro...

[tidal sedge]

oh you're not using frd

[proud drift]

WHAT

[molten swan]

all of your fucking ops

are already ignited

[storm current]

fyi

every 19

[proud drift]

pozemka isn't ignited

whisperrain isn't ignited

[storm current]

talulah ignore a non-burning target lastest deployed

[molten swan]

except two but they probably expired after civillains caught the ignite

[signal granite]

That civilian will refresh, so you also need refresh

[molten swan]

point being

[tidal sedge]

does your whisp have mod1

[molten swan]

tal prioritizes igniting NEW allies

[proud drift]

[molten swan]

instead of reapplying on old ones

[proud drift]

so do I need to keep deploying?

[molten swan]

yes bruh

[proud drift]

what the fuck

[latent monolith]

Just bring 2 fast redeploys

[molten swan]

wait hang on

[proud drift]

I will but still wtf

[molten swan]

you actually don't need to?

????

[proud drift]

HUH

[molten swan]

cuz like

[proud drift]

I'M CONFUSED THEN

[molten swan]

there's several low ops

that don't let civillains get ignited

I think I'm just high

[tidal sedge]

oofie it has normal prio, just doesn't target already burning ops

[proud drift]

I guess I just need to have everyone deployed

[molten swan]

yeahhh no

deploy the ones necessary

[tidal sedge]

frd help a lot tho

[signal granite]

You think lee, bubble with skill can help?

[molten swan]

redeploy ones that aren;t

uhhh doubt

maybe

hmm let's see

it seems like the ignite move follows standard targeting and does not reapply

so yeah lee bubble should mechanically work

[latent monolith]

You need a status resist applier to make them actually be a proper bait the whole time

Ignite is 35s on a 19s cooldown?

[tidal sedge]

they have whisp

[proud drift]

well I have an idea more or less of how to deploy things

only question remains is whether I will survive it

[tidal sedge]

the burn lasts for 30.5 seconds

not 35

[molten swan]

yep ok just checked

[proud drift]

gonna try this and cope it works

changed blemishien deployment

and by deployment orders

nobody should blow each other up

[molten swan]

if you have enough ops(or enough resist) you can basically let tal cycle through only your ops and will never reach the civillains for targeting

[tidal sedge]

as I said before, frd helps a lot because you can just retreat them as soon as they get burned

[proud drift]

I killed phase1 at red gate

[tidal sedge]

and bait next burn

[glass monolith]

Since fucking when Carron LT-3 has fucking red infiltrators?

[tidal sedge]

yeah stages have different sets of enemies, think it's rng which one you get

[glass monolith]

But i been on that stage like 5 times

[proud drift]

nvm nightingale skill wasn't in proper range to cover some fireballs

[tidal sedge]

idk what to tell you

[proud drift]

this is so cancer

[molten swan]

skull

[tidal sedge]

as I said rng

[molten swan]

it is not

[glass monolith]

RNG doesn't exist to favour players

[molten swan]

I ensure you once you get the grip going

h8-4 is piss easy

[bright swan]

something is telling me to raise nightingale

[proud drift]

fersangu's nightingale is maxed

[molten swan]

I definitely exaggerated but you get the idea

[proud drift]

my issue is how I placed her

she failed to cover two lanes instead of one

[solar spindle]

some was telling me h8-4 is easier than jt8-3

[molten swan]

uhhh

no

[proud drift]

I just need to place nightingale there

and blemishine there

and IF talulah phase 2

reaches me there

blemi would tank her there

and cope topside with cages

just need to make sure my placement order is right and doesn't cause an incident of characters blowing each other up

[tidal sedge]

like one of the stages sometimes has the hologram crossbow guys and sometimes doesn't so it's rng whether or not you need healing

the stage with bullies

[proud drift]

ok with this placement it SHOULD work

[molten swan]

I can probably make do with just this

But anyway it’s getting late Imma bedge

[proud drift]

nobody should blow each other up

assuming she targets based on deploy order

[tidal sedge]

ye she does

you can deploy and retreat frd to repeatedly bait burn

[proud drift]

ok I survived the fireballs

[storm current]

are you winning son

[proud drift]

well

phase 2 hp from just goldenglow and typewriter

LMFAO

I did not win

cause no nightingale s3

for wave 2

maybe I should've stalled

but yeah otherwise it should be a win

as long as I can stall out for nightingale to come back somehow

[solar spindle]

no frd again tal

[proud drift]

nah this time I brought gravel to stall talulah a bit

archetto was useless

[solar spindle]

just redeploy ng

[molten swan]

Too sleepy I forgor to place gitano early

Yep this approach works flawlessly

[bright swan]

can i replace kal with pozy s3m3 mod3?

[proud drift]

wait but

[bright swan]

for perma cc

[proud drift]

doesn't silence and warfarin

if they're on fire

won't the explosion

damage civilians

also wtf is thorns tanking talulah

[solar spindle]

have 3 medic behind him

why not

[storm current]

ironically

quartz is the best tank for talulah

[latent monolith]

Ye

Massive HP

Blemi may be better tho because module and self heal

[solemn anvil]

if you have the tiles yes,and also need 1 blocker to lock manfred for a bit

[glass monolith]

CN getting 5 star crusher with next event

[molten swan]

gravel and red is there

[proud drift]

wtf pozemka died

[molten swan]

to bait the occasional ignite

anddd I died cuz I forgor

strat still works

[glass monolith]

Left for Gulag

[bright swan]

i dont know if i have tile for him

[molten swan]

heck if I want I can just do a bibeak dps strat and still work

or cutter/lappland

they can all hold tal

with enough healing

anyway Imma sleep bye

[proud drift]

guess I'll try your strat

but I dunno how you deal with uh

wave 2

[solemn anvil]

i placed mine on the right side facing down and used specter to block
careful of canons tho

[proud drift]

of fireballs

[molten swan]

fireballs?

ng s3

3 lanes

[proud drift]

or do civilians run into gates

by the time phase 2 dies

[molten swan]

4th lane use cage+anyone

no they wait there until fireball ends

4th lane use cage+anyone that can tank 2 fireballs

and you're done

[bright swan]

where do you block him? no concerns about typewritter?

[lethal kiln]

@solemn anvil my lappland doesn't atk the caster in her sight

[molten swan]

stall tal long enough for ng s3 to come back up

[proud drift]

yes but

oh

[molten swan]

else the strat falls apart

[proud drift]

stall

ok

guess best thing I can do is try

[solemn anvil]

nah untoftunately no typewriter tiles anywhere to combo with pozy if you do that

[bright swan]

i can think of one but thats very late

[solemn anvil]

as in dont reach or dont attack? try using skill 2 (stronger damage and +1 target)

[bright swan]

and problematic with cannon

[lethal kiln]

she reachs but dosent atk cause of the people coming down the lane

should i place here down the lane the casters on?

[solemn anvil]

try s2 then,see if it has enough damage
nope, the caster can reach if placed further down

[lethal kiln]

i meant to the left

ill try the s2 first tjough

[bright swan]

oh well, i guess i gonna wait for someone to get me kal or i try to level her

[proud drift]

bruh my pozemka died here to fireballs

[lethal kiln]

nope s2 isn't enough

[solemn anvil]

caster range is this iirc
thats okay,then just deploy 1 sniper left and another for right one (at the sniper tile)

[solemn anvil]

#friend-id dont have her? pretty sure she's popular
try ctrl + f her there

[proud drift]

@molten swan

ty

[molten swan]

:)

[proud drift]

didn't know kafka+gravel can legit just permastall

the ignites

lol

also thorns was uncomfortably low like 4 times

I guess that's cuz whisperrain is e1 60 and warfarin is e1 50

surtr was just cage 2.0

[bright swan]

waiting for accept request rn

[proud drift]

uih

let's see

H9 isn't as hard

right?

bro wtf is H9-1 last wave

[solemn anvil]

they're asking to be chalter'ed

[proud drift]

no space for blue women

only red women

[solemn anvil]

archetto time for her to go

[proud drift]

wdym

she's the reason Fia can fire her S2 more than once

[gleaming lodge]

is Blem really red ?

[proud drift]

if anything archetto was probably indirect mvp

[proud drift]

she's that one kid that gets bullied at school for being different

WAIT

THEY JUST WALK THRU ROCKS?

[solemn anvil]

they do? i dont remember tbh

[tidal sedge]

yeah they do

sometimes

they do it consistently on that stage tho

[proud drift]

well

the secret to a stage with so many fireballs

is to sniperknights

[lethal kiln]

where do i place medics?

[proud drift]

sorry what?

[lethal kiln]

@solemn anvil

[tidal sedge]

AK is a perfect game

[solemn anvil]

you can place medic anywhere tbh,jut make sure it gets to heal sniper looking right that spawnkill additional casters
pozy s2 should be able to spawnkill

[lethal kiln]

ohk

when i place the defenders should i remove the vgs straight away?

[vernal lion]

I can't wait to see enemy with parkour ability, literally

[solemn anvil]

you can as long as you have any dps to kill those blocked enemies
most defenders have low damage after all

[lethal kiln]

ill leave the vgs unless i have to oick em up to allow me to place another

[solemn anvil]

does new CN stage gimmicks count? melee enemies on highground tiles

[vernal lion]

that's just The Great Wall mechanism

[lethal kiln]

my topside gets rekt by enemies

[proud drift]

can you silence the invisible dublin shits

who go berserk?

[vernal lion]

the flamethrower one?

[proud drift]

no

the invisible ones

[vernal lion]

who's invis

ah yes

[proud drift]

the duo

one gets aspd

[vernal lion]

the arts dude

[proud drift]

other reduces aspd

[vernal lion]

useless, he has nothing to silence tho

even got no 70 res buff

just kill him with high physical atk

[proud drift]

so I can't silence the aspd buff?

[vernal lion]

that's their gimmick

[solemn anvil]

since lappland not used for caster can put her 3 tiles right (face left) to block there (and 1 healer on top side high ground tile/saria in front of lappland)

[vernal lion]

only separating them and you're good

[lethal kiln]

ohk

[proud drift]

well

fiammetta works I guess

embrace angry red women

[main halo]

Which skill is go-to for Gavial guard? I feel like all skills are helpful in some ways

[lethal kiln]

which high ground tile on the top for the medic?

also poze cant kill casters on spawn

[solemn anvil]

i just remembered how i clear this stage
the exact opposite of you, right in front of the bottom spawn lol and rocks blocking top and middle

[proud drift]

wait

those invis dudes

do arts damage

so that's why they hurt mud so much

[solemn anvil]

remember the earlier sniper used to kill left caster? now redeploy sniper facing right
does the caster instakill your squad? pozy s2 and few auto attacks should be enough no? your pozy is e1 right?
you can also deploy typewriter facing down behind top medic and use s2 when caster is in range (and retreat after)

[proud drift]

wtf 9-4 looks scary

[lethal kiln]

i knew to change sniper to face right. but didnt think about the s2 for pose

[proud drift]

nvm 9-4 had no mandragora

and was piss ez

god I love fiammetta

[vernal lion]

what do you say

[solemn anvil]

thats okay then,just combo s2 with typewriter,its a good burst skill

[storm current]

Now that pozy exist

I dont think mandra is really a problem

[proud drift]

eh

kinda true

[storm current]

She prob 1 cycle mandra even with dmg reduction

[vernal lion]

that stage is annoying because there's a lot of enemies

[proud drift]

imagine needing pillars

gargoyles

more like fiammetta S2 showcase

although what I found out is that uh

if fiammetta manages to damage an enemy behind her

with a delayed attack or smth

she actually damages the pillar

[vernal lion]

ofc

[proud drift]

oh

there's 9-5

[sharp mango]

why r u surprised

[lethal kiln]

nvm, didnt need to do s2 pozy.

[sharp mango]

[proud drift]

idk every H before was up to 4

I was like "wtf no mandragora in H? thank god "

guess I coped

[sharp mango]

yeah since chp 9 is all 6 iirc

[proud drift]

9-5 i see is tetris

[sharp mango]

before that is 4

[vernal lion]

then chap 10 is 3

[sharp mango]

wait chp 10 only 3?

[vernal lion]

3 and enough to make you cry

[proud drift]

9-5 layout is so fucking confusing

oh

[sharp mango]

oh 10 is 3

11 is 4

only 9 got 6

man I misinfo someone

finally

[proud drift]

I'm

so confused

when do the flamethrowers

knock pillars over

cause I just killed one next to it and he didn't knock it over

[vernal lion]

read enemy info

[proud drift]

I did

I killed a dude between these two tiles

does it have to be literally next to it

[tidal sedge]

was he silenced

[proud drift]

no he was bagpiped

[vernal lion]

literally, you didn't

[proud drift]

fuck if I know what "nearby" means

in arknights nearby could be 3 tiles

could be 0.5 tiles

[sharp mango]

[vernal lion]

as long as you let him near the pillar, you know that

btw it's only effected to 4 adjacent tiles of that pillar

splitbox still counts

[tidal sedge]

prts says explosion range is the same as their attack range, 1.5 tiles radius

[vernal lion]

yeah it's 1.5 but the condition is still his position

[tidal sedge]

ye

still has to be adjacent

[proud drift]

9-5 the true boss stage

playing tetris out here

while holding off 50 enemies at the same time

[tidal sedge]

nah don't worry h9-6 is much worse

[proud drift]

idk I legit can't solve 9-5

it's so dumb

[astral oyster]

whats the bare minimum for anni 3 i e2 ling as my first e2 and im struggling to clear the stage even when borrowing a m3 80 thorn

[vernal lion]

you need healer for Ling dragon

[solemn anvil]

i think this is one common setup

[vernal lion]

Skalter or Perfumer

[proud drift]

see

this is why I don't play tetris

my brain is too fucking small

for this kind of 900 iq map

also

how do you make that one fall that way

or do you break the one below

[vernal lion]

domino effect

[proud drift]

well

that's not what his red line pathway

indicated

so I had assumed that you don't use that

[surreal star]

There’s a nondeployable tile there

[solemn anvil]

he's right,my b

[astral oyster]

perfumer doesnt heal enough skalter i dont have

[surreal star]

I would just give up on a ling strat tbh

[vernal lion]

it's pretty trick, if you don't know how to do that anni with Ling

[astral oyster]

i bring ling along to borrow e2 ops

[surreal star]

Bring ling but just don’t deploy her

[storm current]

Its a non borrow ling

[solemn anvil]

use ling as ranged dps with s2

[storm current]

It may be worse to use ling but idk

It require many role where ling doesnt help

[astral oyster]

i mostly dont use her so im struggling since she is my most ivnested char

[astral oyster]

oh also no module she recently hit e2

[storm current]

Constant threat of art drones and crossbow would require you to heal dragon up tho

[surreal star]

The problem is that they’d need two borrows for that

[vernal lion]

so that's not gonna work lol

[astral oyster]

i know so im regretting so hard e2 her first

[solemn anvil]

you can either take the L and go back to invest other ops to high level e1 or double down and get her mod

[vernal lion]

nah she's just bad in that anni

[storm current]

If you e2 her first without knowing what she does then its your issue isnt it

[latent monolith]

You know you picked like the one stage she sucks in

Turrets for a long anni are not very friendly to a ling without skalter

[astral oyster]

i didnt expect to do anni 3 so early tbh

[storm current]

You can do anni 3 without e2 btw

[latent monolith]

There are a few others I can think of that could be annoying but you probably don't reach those with only one E2

[vernal lion]

this is the old one, without mod

[astral oyster]

most of my e1 char are stuck at lvl 10 cant upgrade due to no LMD

[vernal lion]

I mean you really need a proper roster

[astral oyster]

yea need to invest more i guess

[vernal lion]

anni 2 is still fine tho

[astral oyster]

i cleared anni 2

[vernal lion]

you have skip ticket

[astral oyster]

i just need anni 3 to raise max cap

[proud drift]

if only

I knew

that there's gonna be

50 gargoyles

and 30 evocators

fuck this shit I'm looking up a guide

this stage

[coral haven]

Bruh

Keep going bro

[solemn anvil]

wait why is your pozy facing up?

[vernal lion]

use Fia s3

[proud drift]

because I thought there's gonna be only 3 gargoyles

not fucking 50 gargoyles

[latent monolith]

ngl lappdumb is good against gargoyles

[solemn anvil]

[proud drift]

I hope whoever designed that stage experienced a 3 hour diarrhea after creating it

[vernal lion]

it will not a strategy game anymore if you have already KNOWN everything tho

• strategy game.

[solemn anvil]

i mean you saw most of the stage already,tweak around pozy direction use fia s3 and you're gucci i think

[proud drift]

I'll try Fia S3 I guess

[vernal lion]

I expect more tricky enemy from future events

like the Elite dog from chap 11

and man eater

[astral oyster]

what char would be best to e2/e1 for anni 3?

[solemn anvil]

ifrit core is an old strat,not sure how it goes nowadays
fia is always a solid anni operator

[vernal lion]

Ifrit needs proper good ops, not really an easy strat

[proud drift]

it's either 9-5 has the absolute worst experience I've ever had

or dublin enemies are the worst design

[livid delta]

What was chapter 9

[proud drift]

dublin

[livid delta]

Uhh

Is that the pillar chapter

[solemn anvil]

you can just send imgur of what you have,but i assume you already have main squad ready
just level them together to high level e1's and you should be gucci

[livid delta]

Totter was so good vs the gargoyles and the bromance enemies

The invis ones

[vernal lion]

imagine has Totter

[livid delta]

He'd hit for like 2k each on skill

Absolutely insane

[full finch]

the idea of unblockable invisible enemies is dumb

[vernal lion]

wait which one

[livid delta]

Waiting for the day for invisible ergates

[vernal lion]

just use SA

[full finch]

yeah but like

why

[proud drift]

welp, more -5 sanity

[astral oyster]

https://imgur.com/a/YCyfVjm

[full finch]

the idea of an enemy requiring you to have and use a unit from the small pool of revealers is just dumb

unless they make said unit welfare, like red certs

[vernal lion]

that makes player to have to think carefully about borrowing support op

I play many games and I know why a support op is really important for newbie

[livid delta]

Scene

[full finch]

oh

true

but who uses scene on a regular basis

[vernal lion]

scene is from cc shop

[livid delta]

She was like my 3rd e2

Imagine using a functional summoner for a new account

[vernal lion]

deepcolor is good tho

[full finch]

scene is kinda cracked tho
but summoners

[livid delta]

True especially after mod

[full finch]

what does scene mod do

[livid delta]

Eh

[vernal lion]

slow

[full finch]

huh

[vernal lion]

I'm not really interesting about that

[full finch]

how much slow

[latent monolith]

I probably use scene more than the average player and I've owned ling since basically the start

[livid delta]

Wondering if I should get mod 2

[vernal lion]

mod3 is -8%

[proud drift]

HOLY FUCK FINALLY

FUCK THIS STAGE

[vernal lion]

I just get mod2 and dip

[proud drift]

only cost me like 30 sanity and 20 plans

[latent monolith]

Good luck on H9-6

[livid delta]

If you take 5 buggies and hit s2
They should all theoretically stack right

[full finch]

5% slow 5 times

huh

[vernal lion]

I don't think so

[latent monolith]

Even if it stacks it's pretty meh

[solemn anvil]

e1 mudrock for s2, pozy s2 should work decently for drones,ptilo,specter
yeah just need more levels mostly,around 50 or 60 should be good
for this anni specifically,im liking exu over chalter for drones, you can use chalter for big dudes in middle,but might as well borrow eyja or strong casters

[proud drift]

why does mandragora stage have 121 enemies

[latent monolith]

Not my problem

[astral oyster]

why anni cant use plan? i dont wanna waste sanity on that garbo

when 1 leak during the last 50 enemies

[livid delta]

Just force close

It doesn't consume sanity

[latent monolith]

Another option is to turn off internet and leave the stage

Can be faster on potatoes

[livid delta]

You can also microwave your modem

[vernal lion]

wait for h10-3 with 114 enemies

[proud drift]

if only the devs were nice enough

to show me mandragora pathing

so I wouldn't waste

15 attempts

trying to reach mandragora

only to find out I have to re-do everything

[harsh gale]

[latent monolith]

Imagine H13-4 with 400 enemies and the boss spawns twice

[proud drift]

but hey it's a

"strategy" game

[vernal lion]

I admit that I will fail the first time of each of stage

because it's tricky for later

[proud drift]

XD?

I am

looking up a guide for this

I won't even bother thinking for this stage

[vernal lion]

I thought you had played TN-4 already

[proud drift]

yeah I did

TN-4 didn't have 50 range aerial enemies with 40 gargoyles running at the same time

[latent monolith]

They afk there for a while iirc

[proud drift]

ok but what about the hoverdudes

[latent monolith]

Just use kroos alter or smth

[proud drift]

imagine having kroos alter

[vernal lion]

ugh ok, do you have Skyfire s2 ?

[tidal sedge]

You have Fia

[latent monolith]

Isn't there like a defenderknights clear of H9-6

[proud drift]

Fia can't hold two lanes

[solemn anvil]

yo im bored so here's a solution

[latent monolith]

Somehow they did it

[tidal sedge]

The gargs go to top blue box

[proud drift]

bruh

kyostin's "low end" squad

I can borrow only one

[solemn anvil]

its like saying "f2p btw"

[tidal sedge]

The bottom hoverboards are way less dense and easy to ground

[astral oyster]

whats o?

[proud drift]

do they not shoot if they're grounded

[latent monolith]

They are not ranged when grounded iirc

[tidal sedge]

They become melee

[proud drift]

okay but then there's another issue

how do I not kill gargoyles while killing them

[full finch]

just kill

[tidal sedge]

Different pathing

I drop a pillar to let gargs go top

[latent monolith]

Borrow chalter or smth and just delete them

[proud drift]

oh I think I see an idea now

from kyostin's video

on where to fia etc.

[solemn anvil]

any blocker tbh,but i recommend specter with s1 for bot side and liskarm s1 mid
AA is anti air sniper, in this case exu s2 or s1

[proud drift]

oh mandragora spawns left red gate

[astral oyster]

does the exu lane dont have crossbow thingy?

i didnt notice that lane

[solemn anvil]

even if it does,nearl s1 can heal her,make sure nearl is deployed last for topside so she aggros all drones

[astral oyster]

man i need more LMD

[solemn anvil]

its alright,no need to rush
its unlucky that there's no event rn for you (usually 500k from event store)
IS2 has a lot of 50k reward tho

[astral oyster]

ill try IS

[proud drift]

nice pozemka HP

[astral oyster]

CC i cant clear even the most basic one on perma map what ops do i need to borrow?

[surreal star]

I would say ling but um

[vernal lion]

Ling works good tho

[surreal star]

Ling is their only e2

So no borrow

[solemn anvil]

yeah for risk 8 just need surtr only really

[vernal lion]

you're gonna use more op if Ling is not really enough to carry you

[astral oyster]

would rushing module worth it?

[proud drift]

what a fucking cringe stage

[vernal lion]

mod2 and you're good

[solemn anvil]

stop digging your grave man,module stage 2 is ~220k,you could get 3 more ops e1 and high level
not counting levelling cost

[rustic turret]

Can someone help me with 2-8

[astral oyster]

ah ok thx ill focus on expanding my e1 roster i guess

[solemn anvil]

sure,share your squad too

[rustic turret]

Ok

[proud drift]

okay I can't use kyostin's strat I guess cause I don't have silverash

and surtr doesn't work the same way for bottom lane

so idk if I can do chalter

[vernal lion]

SA for the hover bois

[proud drift]

no SA for starting rush too

[vernal lion]

ofc you will need him

yea that one too

[rustic turret]

What do I even do

[proud drift]

I'd borrow bagpipe to coutner the rush + generate dp

but my issue now is the fact that if I borrow chalter

I have no way to deal with the bottom rush

[coral haven]

Beehunter?

[rustic turret]

Who

[vernal lion]

why not using 2 pioneers ?
it's not really that late tho, I did it with Texas and Siege

[vernal lion]

ok you, you don't have aoe dmg like Lava or 12F ?

[rustic turret]

Ohh I have lava

I just don’t know what to put

[vernal lion]

also, no vanguard too lol

[solemn anvil]

how about this?
X = snipers facing right

[vernal lion]

I said it will be DP issue, for real

and your op is gonna die soon

[rustic turret]

Okay I’ll try to find a vanguard I guess

[solemn anvil]

and that too

[rustic turret]

Is Texas a vanguard

[vernal lion]

remember deploy Vanguard > Sniper > Medic

[solemn anvil]

on the operator screen, on the right side you can filter vanguards only (3 lines)

[vernal lion]

and then depending on situation, you will deploy who will be next

[rustic turret]

Where should I place Texas

[solemn anvil]

on beehunter position

can even replace beehunter tbh

[rustic turret]

Uhhh ok

[vernal lion]

[solemn anvil]

if you disagree you can say it,im open to feedback

[vernal lion]

E0 pioneer in that stage will take 100 dmg every time, and I don't think she will have enough HP

[livid delta]

Borrow dusk s1 and sweep

[vernal lion]

need to deploy her near the bluebox

so you can easy manage it

[solemn anvil]

thats fair

are those trash mobs weaker to phys/arts?

[vernal lion]

this dude got 350 atk

Texas is 200 def

[rustic turret]

Oh mein gotttt at this point I think I’m gonna use myrtle as a support unit

[solemn anvil]

if it works its not stupid i guess?

[vernal lion]

not that, the later is much worse

[rustic turret]

This is sooo hard

[vernal lion]

meet the buff drone, and every 3-drone rush per last times

[rustic turret]

Do I need more snipers I’m struggling with drones

[livid delta]

You have kroos and rangers

Maxed rangers is cracked

[rustic turret]

Ig ur right

[latent monolith]

Could probably deploy shaw on the lower right ground push tile and not take hoshi

[vernal lion]

max ranger got AA buff talent

[rustic turret]

What’s a good support unit for this stage

[solemn anvil]

mountain? no more ground units issue

[vernal lion]

borrow better range op

[latent monolith]

Ye or like exu/cheeto/etc

[proud drift]

am I just

silverash gated

from clearing h9-6

[livid delta]

No

Use a better strategy

[proud drift]

chalter doesn't work

[livid delta]

I can't believe chalter fell off

[solemn anvil]

h9-6 release before chalter right?

[livid delta]

Use your shamare

That everyone got

[proud drift]

for what

[livid delta]

From the 5* selector

[proud drift]

what is shamare gonna do
