strategy

[ancient hearth]

I don't really recall any particularly obnoxious ones until the bondage casters in chapter 4

[frigid kite]

Anyways, @raw crane if you need help with any stage just ask

[supple mountain]

do i need to change anything up about this squad for columbia annih

[glass monolith]

Yes, throw away Ifrit to get auto

[supple mountain]

ifrit core strat

[frigid kite]

Is the prison anni

[supple mountain]

ye

[fresh copper]

Hmmhmm

[frigid kite]

Damn you still with that 💀

[fresh copper]

Astgenne ain't here yet so I'm playing old stages

[frigid kite]

Looks good

[supple mountain]

i only got to like

100

[fresh copper]

There's also no record for welfare only so I'm filling it in

[supple mountain]

cause skill issue

[frigid kite]

What's your plan for Jesselton btw, Surtr?

[supple mountain]

uhh

i'll prob just think of smth last minute

either surtr or

gladiia to get him close

then i bring down with ifrit

[frigid kite]

Ok just remember that when his 1st phase dies he activates all prisoner

[supple mountain]

wtf

i did not know that

[storm current]

Uh

For jesselton

[scarlet ledge]

finnaly done no tower taken lmfao @civic nest

[storm current]

You can stall him

[civic nest]

dalao

[glass monolith]

If you good you can kill him when nothing on map
If you me you will kill him while 12 archers and 5 casters on map

[scarlet ledge]

ashlock poggers

[supple mountain]

i can stall until i kill other enemies right

[storm current]

Yes

Since lumen can just out heal and cleanse jesselton

[frigid kite]

Lumen broken

[storm current]

Jess without mobs is a joke

[scarlet ledge]

llollllii alive

[civic nest]

so true

[scarlet ledge]

ngl feetus

i horde 300 dp

ngl that run is much better

breeze didnt die

had to use skill much early

[civic nest]

breeze carry real

[ancient hearth]

if this is the prison annihilation you can either stall him/let he walk around, or just nuke him immediately before that caster army spawns

[supple mountain]

i think this should be ok for now

[scarlet ledge]

wtf pro

prison anni

[worthy ermine]

how should i place my operators? just type the first letter on each tile

[ancient hearth]

I think I sicc'd Pozy S3, Surtr, and Mudrock S3 on him and basically erased Jessleton in 1 skill cycle

[surreal relic]

put a guard instead of Gummy left side
that way you don't have to devote two operators there

it's only casters there, anything with damage should work

[scarlet ledge]

u can use pusher

[supple mountain]

kms

[supple mountain]

i have no pusher at e2 or m3

[ancient hearth]

anything with 2 block works tbh

[supple mountain]

[scarlet ledge]

then guard

just cutter

💀

[frigid kite]

Do you have Rope

[worthy ermine]

idk

[ancient hearth]

wait....why isn't your top line blocking for ifrit?

shit's just walking right past her line

[worthy ermine]

i do have rope

[frigid kite]

Cool

[surreal relic]

I used Gladiia S2 bot lane to pull the archers

Spalter + Ch'en feels like overkill there until Jesselton

[storm current]

Uh

The caster on left side need m3 to push iirc

Or idk, i think s2 of shaw should work

[supple mountain]

cause skill issue

[supple mountain]

mfw e0 shaw

[storm current]

[worthy ermine]

what she do

[scarlet ledge]

@supple mountain what ur guard

[storm current]

Oh

[scarlet ledge]

oh lul

[storm current]

I bet specter can kill

But kekw

[supple mountain]

i have spalter in team

no ILS update yet

[storm current]

Not e1 frostleaf for base?

[supple mountain]

no

[scarlet ledge]

how about ur defeder?

can i see?

[surreal relic]

Lappland works left too and is afk

[storm current]

I wonder if blaze can solo with that level

Lol

Caster have like what

[frigid kite]

She pulls enemies to the holes, insta kill

[storm current]

600 def?

[supple mountain]

i dont touch defenders much tbh

[frigid kite]

@worthy ermine try this your ops are pretty low leveled so idk if you can do it w/o a borrow

[ancient hearth]

ngl, do you have enough damage to stop the recidivists from releasing everybody?

not sure thorns + ifrit is enough

[frigid kite]

Beagle next to lappland, Amiya on the tile next to Rope, looking left, Courier next to lappland on the tile below her

[supple mountain]

i could helidrop surtr

[frigid kite]

Do you have any other defender? @worthy ermine

Spot maybe

[ancient hearth]

they get drip fed, surtr isn't really enough unless you're parking her in the main line with S2

also, raise blaze a bit

I was dealing with the recidivists with ebenholz, uniroinically

0 res go br

[supple mountain]

dude i'm broke

can't even raise her to max lvl

[ancient hearth]

even lvl 20 is a sizable gain

[worthy ermine]

i do but not levelled

this is good enough yes?

[supple mountain]

[ancient hearth]

[frigid kite]

Yeah but... Where is Rope 💀

[supple mountain]

shaw behind blue box

[ancient hearth]

shaw is in the correct place for the elite wraith, but no rope for the back lane

[frigid kite]

That's a strat for Catching the wraths

[supple mountain]

dalao shifting

[full finch]

he slipped

💀

[supple mountain]

mvp cuora

[ancient hearth]

went to meet pancho

[ancient hearth]

in any case, the red recindivists have iirc 800 defense while imprisoned but 0 res, so you probably want to borrow some sort of arts nuker or other burst dps

[worthy ermine]

why do i need her tho

anyway i got 371/400 that run

the enemies are too strong

what other annis that arent as hard i can do for gold certs

i did chernobog and this one so far

[full finch]

abandoned mine isn't too bad

[frigid kite]

She soloes the right side

[frigid kite]

Here

You put her looking right

[full finch]

knight territory outskirts is also pretty easy
*relatively, at least

[worthy ermine]

i see, only 1 enemy managed to inflitrate the right side

[foggy grove]

gold certs?

afaik only anni 1-3 has it

[worthy ermine]

every anni has it for reaching milestones

[frigid kite]

Problem is that this guy is really early @full finch

[full finch]

yeah, I know

[worthy ermine]

wait nvm

[ancient hearth]

don't only the permanent ones have them?

[worthy ermine]

didnt even know there are limited and permanent ones

[frigid kite]

You should also try the rotating so you can get 1800 Orundum every week

[full finch]

which one is the newest one
anni15?

[supple mountain]

[worthy ermine]

ill do this one then

[supple mountain]

anni15 just came today

[frigid kite]

That's of course when you level up your team and stuff

[full finch]

that one's pretty hard

[fleet bane]

Death wish

[worthy ermine]

i doubt i can do them, im hella weak

[frigid kite]

Yeah don't worry, but have in mind that milestone

[lethal dragon]

Croissant be like:

[frigid kite]

Looking good

[worthy ermine]

this one?

[frigid kite]

Yup

[worthy ermine]

this one doesnt seem shawable

[full finch]

haven't tried it so idk if easy/hard

[frigid kite]

Lmao

[fleet bane]

It’s relatively easy

[frigid kite]

It's really easy

[full finch]

huh

[fleet bane]

For me at least

[worthy ermine]

whats the strat

[full finch]

really?

[frigid kite]

Yup

[supple mountain]

fucked up

[frigid kite]

Having E2 operators

[full finch]

what are the main threats

[worthy ermine]

seems like i failed before i even entered the stage

[surreal relic]

You're blocking three lanes for Ifrit to DPS in

[frigid kite]

375~ wave, some Bazookas come and if you fail to protect the Gelatos, they have infinite ammo and ded

But all are easy to kill

[fleet bane]

I wouldn’t try at low lv the bazooka guys would probably one shot all your ops

[supple mountain]

bro my lapp died up there

[full finch]

my gelato

[worthy ermine]

ill bring 3 healers and 3 tanks then, got it

[ancient hearth]

Sounds like a job for Fia S3

[frigid kite]

Yup thats one of the strats

[worthy ermine]

the issue is

theres 4 blue boxes

[supple mountain]

and half of the times ifrit isn't even hitting anything

[worthy ermine]

i dont have 4 mountains, only 1 from support

[ancient hearth]

When the artillery has your spawn sighted

[worthy ermine]

oh also do i e1 courier? i need a vg

e1 courier or vigna

[full finch]

vigna

[worthy ermine]

so i bench courier then

[fleet bane]

If I remember correctly vigna only has 1 block right?

[ancient hearth]

one, clear the ifrit line
two, you need more arts damage, adreanna isn't really contributing here

[worthy ermine]

so does courier, idk about e1 tho

[full finch]

vigna is a good phys DPS

she hits hard enough to kill high def targets even at E1

[worthy ermine]

yeah but i mostly need the dp

[fleet bane]

Courier prob

[worthy ermine]

courier gives dp without needing to kill enemies

[fleet bane]

Vigna has to kill to gain dp

[supple mountain]

naw she's helping

[worthy ermine]

yeah ill go with courier

[full finch]

surely you have other vanguards too

[supple mountain]

with the redcivist

[worthy ermine]

i probably do but idk who to use

[ancient hearth]

what unit are you borrowing atm?

[worthy ermine]

mountain

[full finch]

myrtle is the top pick if DP is the only requirement

[worthy ermine]

i dont think i have myrtle

[ancient hearth]

just borrow some nuker unit like ebenholz or chalter

[worthy ermine]

idk how to get her

[full finch]

recruitment
healing + vanguard/dp-recovery

[supple mountain]

ifrit core strat

[fleet bane]

Ebenholz S2

[supple mountain]

and if i borrow chalter

[ancient hearth]

oh, wait, you on chen

[supple mountain]

i have nobody to hold up left lane

[full finch]

but what I mean is that if you bring a second pioneer vanguard E0 courier should still be fine

DP is pretty accessible but good DPS is harder to grasp

[worthy ermine]

welp, im not recruiting untill mountain or mlynar banner, those are the ones ive been told to save for

[supple mountain]

• il siracusano update to allow both alter and non alter use at same time notvhere unfortunately

[full finch]

that's pulling
recruitment is free and you do it every day

[worthy ermine]

oh right

yea im doing that

[gray stone]

One of the Surtr S2 moments of all time

[supple mountain]

i have no masteries on surtr s2

[full finch]

wtf

[gray stone]

Do you need to?

[full finch]

not S2M3

[worthy ermine]

anyway do i just give up on this untill i get an e2

[full finch]

you can give it a shot but you won't clear 400

[worthy ermine]

where do i place the operators

[surreal relic]

Why not Lappland left side? She can afk it

[worthy ermine]

im going for 350 atleast

[gray stone]

Good luck tanking that
GA has one of the highest ATK for event mobs

[fleet bane]

The beacon when taken can stun and damage op so care

[gray stone]

The Caster is inactive
Vigna can probably hold it alone

[supple mountain]

i got told to place lapp on right side with thorns i'll try that then

[gray stone]

And no you need every single arts damage for right side

[ancient hearth]

you don't relaly need it, it cycles fast enough anyways

[gray stone]

Lappland left is bad because Casters have 50 RES

[supple mountain]

i could bring amiya maybe

[worthy ermine]

yeah i noticed the beacons do i keep away from the red beacons?

[supple mountain]

or indigo

[supple mountain]

you need to hit the red beacons

so they turn blue

and you get buffs

[worthy ermine]

i see

[full finch]

kill the red beacons
protect blue beacons

enemies will prioritize attacking blue beacons

and deal massively increased damage to them

enemies get buffs while under red beacons

[fleet bane]

Yeah until you realize that the bazooka dudes deals aoe damage and 2 shot your beacons

[full finch]

bait shots

[supple mountain]

but my main issue is can't helidrop surtr in time for both chain ball guys

so amiya or indigo

[gray stone]

My man, you are using Surtr S2 for helidrop? Why?

[ancient hearth]

you shouldn't be helidropping anyways

do you have a full roster you can show?

[supple mountain]

no surtr s3

[supple mountain]

a full roster?

give me a sec

[ancient hearth]

you need to concentrate arts or high damager per hit on the top lane in the prison annihlation, that's where all the heavies go to

[gray stone]

Stop
You only have Ifrit and Lappland for arts DPS

[scarlet ledge]

hi slamonammssalomn

[gray stone]

Hi Schwarz lite

[scarlet ledge]

doing 4★ anni 15

[scarlet ledge]

died at wave 387

[gray stone]

Please don't tell me you use Chestnut

[scarlet ledge]

wtf

[livid delta]

Chestnut good

[supple mountain]

rest of my ops are all at like

[scarlet ledge]

nut good

[supple mountain]

e0 1

[proud drift]

Chestnut makes me wish operator selling was a thing

[scarlet ledge]

dswopey

doing annin15 4★

[proud drift]

They don’t actually

[scarlet ledge]

died at 387

[proud drift]

Funny enough

[scarlet ledge]

might do stall another big guy

[proud drift]

Only kevins do

[scarlet ledge]

so i can setup

at late wave

[gray stone]

Send him to me I need pot 6 4 stars

[ancient hearth]

try something like this

[proud drift]

How about sliding a 6* in there

[scarlet ledge]

bro

what 6★ gonna do there

[ancient hearth]

surtr S2

[scarlet ledge]

watch

💀

[proud drift]

Fire chicken

Pink cat

[ancient hearth]

your arts damage is non existent, you're gonna have to do that

[gray stone]

Why the fuck is Lappland bottom Thorns top

[ancient hearth]

all the big guys go top lane

bottom is just archers, weenies, and casters

[gray stone]

My brother in Christ that's exactly why you use Thorns for bottom

[ancient hearth]

thorns bottom pointing up?

[gray stone]

No

Thorns killing all the trash down bottom

[latent monolith]

They have 700 def 0 res when not freed

[gray stone]

All the big guys have 0 RES

[latent monolith]

Which isn't the worst thing with thorns but it still like halves his damage

[ancient hearth]

lappland here is E1 Lv60, eh, she can take a couple hits

[gray stone]

Even after release Ifrit just cut the RES down by a lot

[latent monolith]

Well ifrit S2 does cut def too

[gray stone]

Isn't enough to not use Thorns against trash mobs and a low DEF boss

[supple mountain]

whats blaze gonna do im poor and cant level her up i got her skill to lv 5 tho if it helps

[gray stone]

Phase 2 you can breathe on him with Spalter S2

[gray stone]

You can get Vigna or Matoimaru for the job

[ancient hearth]

blaze won't need healing

any physical unit with decent attack and 2 block will do

I'm seen it done with popukar

[gray stone]

She is E1L1 so not decent ATK

[ancient hearth]

shit, forgot it was E1 Lv1

[gray stone]

Matoimaru is there
Just use S2

[ancient hearth]

yeah, or gladdia tbh

[worthy ermine]

ok

i couldnt even get past 100/400

[gray stone]

No please don't use Gladiia

[ancient hearth]

pretty sure E2 gladiia shoudl have enough stats to kill the casters fast enough

[supple mountain]

if i'm lacking in arts then who am i meant to bring

[gray stone]

Surtr S2, Lappland S2 and Ifrit S2 stacking top lane should be enough

[fleet bane]

I use gladiia to group enemy

[ancient hearth]

chen has module so she can work as a panic button

[fleet bane]

Her s3 in my opinion is more useful in this anni

[ancient hearth]

if surtr isn't killing fast enough or is about to leak

[brittle sigil]

which stage is this?

[supple mountain]

south prison

annihilation

[ancient hearth]

the prison annihilatino

[brittle sigil]

ahh right. thanks, forgot about it teehee

[strong merlin]

going in blind what should my annihlation team must've for the new anni https://imgur.com/a/qdKf4Ab

[ancient hearth]

well, you're borrowing ifrit already, so it's just surtr S2 and Lappy

[supple mountain]

i still have extra squad space tho

cuz suzuran doing nothing there

same with ambriel

[ancient hearth]

for reference, this is what I brought the last time I cleared the prison

[frigid kite]

Thorns Pozy mudrock Chalter kalsit Saga S3 GG, SA and Mountain, everything else your choice

[supple mountain]

mfw i don't have 90% of these operators

[ancient hearth]

bottom lane doens't really matter that much, and adreanna is already kinda high physical damage

top lane surtr S2 is already enough, the problem is that she leaks unless there is somebody behind her

which is why you should be putting chen then

ebenholz here wasn't totally necessary, just funny

[supple mountain]

would it not be easier to swap spalter and blaze place

[ancient hearth]

any 2 block with decent physical atk is enough to solo that side

it only spawns casters

[frigid kite]

And Spalter is more useful for the right side because of her doll

[supple mountain]

how about gladiia then? do i just leave her in squad

[ancient hearth]

also, you do know about the exiting the app to save the sanity thing for annihilation right?

[supple mountain]

no

[frigid kite]

Swap if someone dies

[ancient hearth]

exit app during annihilation and it won't consume sanity

only works for annihilation

the only way to "practice" the mode

....how much sanity did you burn?

[supple mountain]

idk

i dont pay attention to sanity

[ancient hearth]

in any case just remember that the recindivits and the brawlers come in through the F lane, I think the ones with the shields come in the G lane

so you need to focuse the majority of your firepower in those two lanes

or your nuke buttons

[proud drift]

[frigid kite]

He pays for sanity instead

[supple mountain]

i forgor to bring blaze and to switch surtr skill

[gray stone]

Force exit

[worthy ermine]

do i e1 courier or do i e1 someone else

the knights thingy anni was too hard

[gray stone]

Courier and Vigna

[strong merlin]

almost :")

[frigid kite]

Classic Bazooka sweep

[strong merlin]

probably could save a helidrop for them

take care of at least a couple

[strong merlin]

btw, why saga s3? i have never used that skill 🤔

[frigid kite]

Simple

Using Flametail S3 for Annihilation is pretty fucked up

[strong merlin]

im using s1 cuz lazy

[frigid kite]

And Saga S3 is like a Flagbearer dp generator but with a long cd

[frigid kite]

That works too

[strong merlin]

true

[frigid kite]

Also this Annihilation doesn't need much dp

Only first placement and some surtr or stuff you want to helidrop

[strong merlin]

no surtr

[frigid kite]

Silverash

[strong merlin]

but yea i hear ya

imma just nearlter and phantom/utage stuff

[frigid kite]

Sounds good, gl

[glass monolith]

All according to plan

[worthy ermine]

ill e1 courier, i dont like how vigna works

[full finch]

huh

chocolate street really is easy

as long as you keep red towers and nuncios separate

[turbid badge]

ughhh kaze

[glass monolith]

Infinite bazooka works

[full finch]

not an issue tbh

just tanked through it

[turbid badge]

almost a wing

wing

Win

[strong merlin]

wing

[glass monolith]

I let bazooka take over tower on first attempt

[strong merlin]

yea i was not expecting 4 of those canon bois at once

[turbid badge]

wiat did u lose

[strong merlin]

yea re trying

[turbid badge]

oh yeah wait why i see the axe guy

[full finch]

I lost towers a whole bunch
really not an issue since they were always blue when nuncios were nearby

literally didn't even have to optimize placements

[glass monolith]

Lost no towers on 400/400, but zoned out and leaked ice cream car mini

[turbid badge]

you can leak those?

or they take a life

[glass monolith]

they take seal, but they are not part of 400 kills

[turbid badge]

snack cart mini

[glass monolith]

like MTG token in IW anni

[turbid badge]

yeah

yeah i guess near the wnd with all red stops it could be kind ofscary

epeically with the uhh ammo to the dudes that cancel healing and attacking

and boom booms

[pale orchid]

What are good units for the anni, apparently there are sp batteries you can capture and a fuck ton of enemy ranged dmg?

[strong merlin]

can lee solo them?

since he probably cant get silenced 🤔

[turbid badge]

Fiamettas pretty good here

[latent monolith]

I don't think the disarm counts as a stun

[turbid badge]

Idk if its the same silence

it just makes u unable to attack/heal

[strong merlin]

🤔 i see

[pale orchid]

Due to her range + works well with sp battery?

[turbid badge]

Yea her s3 covers a good chunk of map, can attack safley without getting bombarbed and able to help regain 2 towers if placed near bottom right tile

[scarlet ledge]

a fucking pain @glass monolith @proud drift @civic nest

[glass monolith]

Tower: Red
Ambriel: Racism activated

[scarlet ledge]

ngl fuck those shield

had to bait alot

[brittle sigil]

does anyone have a horn with the auto skill i can borrow for choco stage?

[strong merlin]

need masteries or?

[strong merlin]

ah auto skill.

[brittle sigil]

im not sure, ill have to test. would it be fine to borrow yours on s1?

[strong merlin]

done just add me

[brittle sigil]

added friend

[strong merlin]

go for it

[brittle sigil]

thank you :)

[neat skiff]

Thank fuck next anni is so much easier.

Especially if you have at least 1 wandering medic E1.

[soft crystal]

Tomorrow is Kirito judgement day

[neat skiff]

The fuck is Kirito?

[soft crystal]

Kirin yato

[neat skiff]

Oh, Yato. Just use her operator name.

[soft crystal]

Yalter bad name

I pay respect to kirin

And mh

[neat skiff]

At least this game gets Paliocos.

FFXIV only got rathalos but harder.

[glass monolith]

Beyblade

[scarlet ledge]

bruh

[soft crystal]

Ffxiv got palico as a minion and poogie

[scarlet ledge]

just called her yato2

💀

[soft crystal]

Ew

[neat skiff]

Yato2 does sound so much nicer.

[soft crystal]

Pay respect to kirin

[neat skiff]

No.

[soft crystal]

[scarlet ledge]

if u dont like yato2

thicc yato then

[soft crystal]

Yatotwo 🤮

[neat skiff]

Because who the fuck is Kirin? Like lupenda or whatever Specters name is.

[scarlet ledge]

Yatwo

[soft crystal]

The name of the op is Kirin X Yato though

[pale orchid]

It’s laurentina

[neat skiff]

Probably.

[soft crystal]

Its the name of the armor shes wearing

[scarlet ledge]

anyway its dumb

[soft crystal]

[scarlet ledge]

just called her yato2

[glass monolith]

COLlab yATO

[scarlet ledge]

minus

thise fucking ga caster and shielder is bane on my 4★ run

[neat skiff]

Yatash would make more sense.

[glass monolith]

didn't you won forever ago?

[soft crystal]

Rathnoir

[scarlet ledge]

ye but fuck those

[soft crystal]

[scarlet ledge]

i hatevthose

defientely those fucking shielder

💀 💀 💀

[neat skiff]

Unlike Ash, neither will be meta.

So Yato alter and Noir alter will fit for a shittier Phantom and Hellagur.

Especially after Texalter.

The best situation is Noir is an upgraded Utage and not at all related to crab girl.

[soft crystal]

Noirs kit looks like

Cutters kit

Not like a mushas

[glass monolith]

Can never have enough fast redeploy art assassins

[soft crystal]

Im betting yato will be mostly be physical

With some fixed damage arts talent

cause thats how dbs are mostly are.

[lapis hornet]

how confident are you in your take

[brittle sigil]

@strong merlin just what i needed, thanks.

[scarlet ledge]

gg

[brittle sigil]

thank you friend

[soft crystal]

Kirin yato will outdps sexas on low def though

Like its easy for her.

[neat skiff]

Looking at past 4 > 5 star alters, confident enough to get shit for 2 months.

[brittle sigil]

seggs

[soft crystal]

Im confident on that

[tepid ivy]

Yalter is also nothing like phantom skill wise

[soft crystal]

S1 avg hits is 3.3 hits per auto attack and its just a matter of how much +atk she gets.

[lapis hornet]

OK I like that

I'm betting on yato being a 6/10 myself

[tepid ivy]

i mean shes 10/10 looks she doesnt look like sexas but she looks fun

[soft crystal]

S2 texalter is like at a 3.86 multiplier

On every atk

[neat skiff]

I genuinely am hoping for 7/10.

It's genuinely sad that the 2 and 3 stars are some of the most fleshed out yet get ignored the most.

[scarlet ledge]

imma sleep and wait for event when i woke up

night

[neat skiff]

Like, the reserve teams are some of the most "this is how people actually interact and form relationships" in the world.

[soft crystal]

s1 yato+talent will just need to be at least +15% atk to outdps sexas at 0 def

[neat skiff]

Meanwhile Skalter is entirely "what if this fanfic happened?"

[neat skiff]

Reread what you just said, and then actually look at Yato.

[soft crystal]

I jumble my words sometimes

[wary wing]

wow
0 def
now then
when was that relevant again?

[soft crystal]

What i mean is only +15% atk is needed

It can be at like +50% atk in total

[wary wing]

frd stats Vs 800 Def
that will be fun

[soft crystal]

I doubt it will land on only +15% atk

At least maybe in total like 60-70%

[turbid badge]

isnt yatos kit already out

[soft crystal]

No numbers

[turbid badge]

oh yeah

true

her s2 taunt sounds fun to play with tho

[soft crystal]

S2 is like basically auto drop chen/irene s3

Well s3 also works like that but thats a line

[turbid badge]

yea

Talent 2 soon

[soft crystal]

We have talent 2 details already

It was shown in the module batch

[turbid badge]

oh really?

what was it

[soft crystal]

Its +atk on deploy and then more after skill end

[turbid badge]

oh

Sounds neat, time for numbers than

[soft crystal]

Its like demon mode into archdemon mode

[wary wing]

frd
taunt
as in they already weren't the last op deployed

[livid delta]

It'd good for mlynar

[wary wing]

you want mwynar to be hit tho

ture dmg counter

[livid delta]

Sometimes he takes too much damage and it's cringe

[soft crystal]

I think the taunt is just a...

Idk a band aid to blade dance animation lock

Cause blade dance is like you stay in place and be vulnerable for like 4 seconds

[wary wing]

not like taunt will change enemy pathing

[glass monolith]

People will be like "Guys i played Mlynar and he died" and we will be like " "

[soft crystal]

I think they just put the taunt there cause it has to be a risky move

[full finch]

"risky"

doesn't she also get DR from talent

[soft crystal]

She doesnt get any dr

[livid delta]

Wait kirin gets dr?

That's news to me

[full finch]

or did I hallucinate that somewhere

[livid delta]

Only texas has it

[soft crystal]

Talent 2 is atk up and more atk up

[wary wing]

.
taunt literally doing shit

[wary wing]

you are thinking about the other limited alter dual wielding frd

[full finch]

probably

[soft crystal]

4 seconds of animation lock in a game where you have to be constantly be moving is risky

[wary wing]

4s is less than Surtr s3 bar

[full finch]

...animation lock?

[soft crystal]

I meant from the game where the attack is based off on

[full finch]

but this is arknights

[livid delta]

Dualsword bad

[soft crystal]

[livid delta]

I can't wait for the noir 1v1 clips with s1

[soft crystal]

Noir 1-7 s1 spam

Ls5 slugs vs rathnoir

Cause it has resets on kill

[livid delta]

Just like my monster game

Or was it reset on counter idr

I'm not a LS player

[soft crystal]

Counters gave spirit iirc

[full finch]

reset when he kills an enemy

[soft crystal]

Still disappointed no GS

[livid delta]

Same

[soft crystal]

[livid delta]

They could have given it an overcharge mechanic

But if you don't use the skill in time you do less damage

[soft crystal]

Truly skill issue time

[turbid badge]

skill issue

[soft crystal]

Oh iss counters didnt consume spirit level

Kinda makes sense it resets ig

[burnt pine]

guys wait a sec wtf is this ?

[glass monolith]

Taxic 2

[full finch]

red mist intensifies

[glass monolith]

Btw i like this one more that "hey let's send clusterfuck of casters at him"

[burnt pine]

i mean i just did this map and it was horrible without this restriction and now this ? time to call it a quit i guess

[glass monolith]

Alot of fast dudes, midboss of chapter 2 as desert, -1 block on hit agent on side lanes

Compared to kaboom spiders and 2 target casters piece of cake

[burnt pine]

just tell me how to deal with this

earlier i was able to block kill with monster now ? how

[glass monolith]

oh no medics

[burnt pine]

i used spot

also i have a relic that lifesteals with each hit

[soft crystal]

Can have sa s2 on the sides just to deal with the other lanes by himself

Pallas s1 in the middle with kaltsit s2

[burnt pine]

oh nvm i think it is a pallas talent or smth

[soft crystal]

You should be fine

[ancient hearth]

you need to find a medic by the time you hit the floors with poison maps

[soft crystal]

Just make sure mon3tr is last deployed

[ancient hearth]

and the cat lady isn't a medic

[soft crystal]

And use SA s2

[burnt pine]

yeah imagine having what u want in is2

[ancient hearth]

I always pick the guard + med + summoner squad for this reason

[soft crystal]

Thats monthly squad

[ancient hearth]

oh

[soft crystal]

[ancient hearth]

oh, rip

[soft crystal]

Its the pallas, kaltsit, rangers squad

[ancient hearth]

ngl it's one of the best monthlies

[soft crystal]

I mean its definitely doable lol

[glass monolith]

Best one is pineapple pizza monthly

[soft crystal]

Like i said you only need 3 ops here and just some help with baiting and rotating to deal with the left side

[burnt pine]

this part of the map is so cursed holy
who thought about it

[ancient hearth]

the durnar ceobe sesa monthy gives me cancer

I need to pray for a vanguard by floor 2

or I'm screwed

[burnt pine]

cutter oneshots the left sides and i have the fast redeploy item too

[glass monolith]

Communication starts with Ceobe trying to eat rusted mallet

[turbid badge]

have fun with the melantha one lol

[glass monolith]

Literally all eating doggo

[ancient hearth]

that one was unironically much easier

[turbid badge]

i struggled to get the 3rd record for that one

[ancient hearth]

...I got to troupe master

the team's basic but melantha can at least hold the early rushes relatively cheaper

[turbid badge]

oo nice i just quit after i got to the third floor i think lol

[ancient hearth]

and you can get healing via either defender or medic tickets

the ceobe monthly is all dp heavy units, so if you don't see vanguard tickets before floor 3 you are dead

[turbid badge]

lol

i had durnar deal with most waves and than got a spec ticket that i used on kazemaru and they did most work

[ancient hearth]

I only made it as far as I did by praying to survive to a guard ticket with 6 hope and going Mountain gaming

[glass monolith]

man i have so much fun with kazemaru in normal content and i didn't yet slap mastery and module

[soft crystal]

Im waiting for that kazemaid skin

[turbid badge]

yeahh i really enjoy dollkeeper branch since there cheap and dont really need a medic to suffice, i think only one i havent raised yet is spalter since shes so expensive, but i should probably since the tasks lol

[ancient hearth]

the monthlies that lack both dp gen and self sustain are the hardest

even the carnelian squad, that forces me to actually try to use earthspirit, had nearl

[turbid badge]

lmao that one i had to slap es on s1

[soft crystal]

Self sustain isnt really an issue to me for a squad

Or healing

[turbid badge]

team has like no dps since carnelian is e1, and have to wait to get a ticket lol

[ancient hearth]

just wait for carnelian dp and charge

oh wait....it's beast taming for first map

[merry narwhal]

the carnelian monthly squad is complete ass

[glass monolith]

My favorite map layout is hard mode unavoidable second combat emergency accident with active survivalist on floor

[merry narwhal]

first time I couldn't even kill the f3 boss in time and it was the jetpack noob

[soft crystal]

Worst squad for me honestly is the shalem, iris, melantha squad

Iris is great, so is Shalem but they just fall short later

[ancient hearth]

best squad is sarkaz one

[turbid badge]

ye

[ancient hearth]

there will be no dissent on this

vanguard, med, and carry; you have until floor 4 and 5 before the stuff that hurts mudrock like the singers/poison maps show up

unless you roll survivalist

[burnt pine]

should i forfeit this run ?

[ancient hearth]

um, gotta show squad and collectibles

[turbid badge]

lifepoints?

[burnt pine]

11 life

[burnt pine]

collectibles are a little bit above

[turbid badge]

oki

[burnt pine]

#strategy message

[ancient hearth]

might be doable; have another healer?

than kaltsit and spot

[burnt pine]

myrtle ?

[soft crystal]

Its rough i dont think its doable

[ancient hearth]

you will need to try to burst lucian as fast as possible though

[burnt pine]

who is lucian ?

[ancient hearth]

phantom

[cyan gorge]

The boss

[burnt pine]

i have a big issue on the heavy defenders and the bird looking guys

they will destroy my team

[ancient hearth]

have kroos shooting the dancers full time while they rotate in that circle

[burnt pine]

the blue ones not the red rotating ones

[ancient hearth]

?

blue

you mean the guys with canes?

you don't have a wandering medic so you'll just need to build your frontline a bit thicker

[eager gate]

I was about to ask how this lil shithead managed to get past Carne and Surt but realized it's Thorns to blame
So watch me fail this nearly perfectly fine level in a very stupid manner

[civic nest]

wat is that set up

looks really curse lol

[eager gate]

No? Why

[ancient hearth]

I'm not sure thorns is meant to be deployed all alone like that

I mean he has regen, but he isn't mountain

[eager gate]

Well I can admit Thorns there may be a mistake but the rest works aaalright

[civic nest]

also he can’t kill them fast enough being single target and the rocket dude having shit load of defense

[polar steppe]

i made it to 379 but i kept having boats breach through the top and middle(i borrowed sailech) any tips

[eager gate]

He doesn't need to kill big guys, they'll die to blaze anyway

[civic nest]

but he will keep attacking them

and let the little dude like the pic above run by

also i think he will just straight up die in later waves

[storm current]

if you are in trouble, saileach isnt what you should borrow

[eager gate]

Well I'm gonna try someone else there thats for sure

[burnt pine]

borrow silverash

[polar steppe]

i have him

[ancient hearth]

thorns only regens when he's not attacking, and basically having a target he can't kill constantly in his range when he's alone means he's going to get nuked by a rocket

[burnt pine]

silverash and thorns can basically solo dps the anni
just needs some timed activation and good placement

[eager gate]

Wonder if Pluma selfheal+perf is enough to keep her alive in thorns' place

[polar steppe]

but what about the top eile thorns is 2block

[eager gate]

If not I'm just gonna stick a Kirara there to bait disarms

[burnt pine]

3 defenders to block the 3 lanes
it is actually a dr leon strat

it worked for me from the first try

[ancient hearth]

why exu? the hard enemies on the stage have 0 res and 1.2k armor

the kill wave at 382 is something like 8 red motorboats

exu won't even scratch the paint

if you're relying on chalter to kill them all you'll probably want at least 1 more defender to keep them in place

[polar steppe]

i used her for the casters and once the boats pass the vanguards blitz and chen can shred them

[ancient hearth]

do you have any arts dps other than amiya?

[polar steppe]

…..um no
haze i guess or the puppy catser

[ancient hearth]

puppy?

you mean pudding?

[eager gate]

I'm gonna guess puppy is greyy

[polar steppe]

no the one that got the recent skin…are they a cat(the 3*

[storm current]

uh pudding recently got a skin too

[eager gate]

Did steward get a skin recently?

[polar steppe]

…..oh steward not adanchial

[supple mountain]

login event skin

[glass monolith]

Damn AK release skin for 18 with effort like it cost 27

[polar steppe]

so 3 defenders, SA and thorns with a core caster in place of exia correct

[storm current]

steward is fine but your amiya should be a stronger

[eager gate]

Their skin production is fueled by Franka simps' tears

[storm current]

you may want to borrow GG or eyja to nuke the waves

[polar steppe]

sure thing thanks

[burnt pine]

this is the team that i used while lappland wasn't needed at all
amiya is just a talent quality of life and myrtle let u afk a little bit faster from 40 to 240

ptilo wasn't needed perfumer works fine
better to watch the guide and see how it works
it is so simplified

[fallen chasm]

Anyone has no Thorns no Fia anni15 afk setup?

[molten swan]

Thats a very high order

Lets see

https://youtu.be/qqC_81bFAEQ

[rapid oracle]

Am I going to die in S4?

CM

just need one more

[hollow flume]

What Ops should I level more

[cyan gorge]

Kroos

[hollow flume]

Other than kroos...

I've heard about the Kroos thing already and I've decided to allocate some resources but

I don't know what others

[civic heart]

I would argue base slaves first

[cyan gorge]

Exu is an expensive upgrade to Kroos

Fia is niche especially for a less developed account

[frigid kite]

Yup

Chalter borrow will make it easier tho, if you want to try

[next light]

i think vermeil is good or may i forgor

[civic heart]

vermeil is base slave

[next light]

oh yea

[civic heart]

you don't see her at all otherwise

[fast smelt]

If my memory from last year is correct left side will spawn caster?

[cyan gorge]

I'd argue May is good, but I never use her outside of IS2

[next light]

i think so yea

[fast smelt]

Oh shit not that I think about it I am starting to remember this stage

Photographic memory kicks in

[next light]

you get those guys that stun your ops

[fast smelt]

[next light]

on the right side

[fast smelt]

I remember this was hell

[next light]

it wasnt that bad

[next light]

gl

[fast smelt]

Only did this one last time

[surreal relic]

Right side spawns one caster too

[fast smelt]

Btw for the chen quest thinge

I need to bring at least 1 level 3 sticker?

Or just 1 level 3 sticker

[cyan gorge]

depends on the sticker in question

[fast smelt]

This

I don't wanna waste sanity on L since I need 13 more sticker for collection

[civic heart]

you can bring any amount

because it's not at most

you'll probably just bring the one with 3 devices

[fast smelt]

Thorns can solo left side?

And I use ling dragon to camp blue box?

Going to take GG support

• cm - 1 block won't matter on dragons

[cyan gorge]

Left side can be done with just Melantha and a medic (non cm)

[fast smelt]

used kalsit

Lol

It's basically melantha and medic

GG targeting is so pain in the ass tho

[cyan gorge]

I had to borrow Passenger to clear S-1 cm

[fallen chasm]

Rate this setup 1-10

[frigid kite]

8/10, NG and Ifrit Could be killed by Bazookas and Gavialter would be better 1 tile down looking up

Ah wait, Lappland is the one behind her lol

Do you have Saria?

[fallen chasm]

Nope

[frigid kite]

Welp, give it a try then, gl

[rapid oracle]

Are you-

[fallen chasm]

Where do I put ifrit and ng then

[fallen chasm]

Where do i put ng and ifrit then

[frigid kite]

Try with your strat first to see how it goes

[fallen chasm]

263 Ifrit died once

[frigid kite]

💀

[fallen chasm]

350+ not gonna be pleasant

[frigid kite]

Bad thing is that this have all the ifrit lanes, but ifrit will die anytime

[fallen chasm]

Luckily I HAVE SURTR

All I needto do is plop her down and watch all the 350+ mobs die
Thats what i do every anni

[river portal]

@rapid oracle This is not the channel to post off-topic GIFs. Please do not post such content again per channel rule #1.

[frigid kite]

Try this

Good thing is that ifrit will be hitting all 2 gelatos+galter lane

From a safe place

Ah wait

NG might die over there too

Hm

Did NG also died to the Bazookas?

[fallen chasm]

Nope died

Cant survive past 300

[frigid kite]

Ok

Lumen all to the back, GG on lumen place

Blaze 1 tile back

[fallen chasm]

And screw the gelatos in the front?

[frigid kite]

I mean, - >

[frigid kite]

Hmm you're right

[rapid oracle]

Arts issue fr

[cyan gorge]

My arts was just Astesia and Rockrock and I did fine

[rapid oracle]

Bro I had issues with doing top, fix that and then middle became a main issue

Bro what

Stage do be wack

[cyan gorge]

Horn, Mud and Astesia held mid for me

[foggy grove]

how did mud die

[rapid oracle]

Big dudes on the vehicles

I'm using much arts damage as I can from there

[fallen chasm]

OMG I CAN USE GAXE SKILL TO SCREW THE FRONT UPPER GELATO

[rapid oracle]

Nvm, any advice how to improve my strat

[fast smelt]

Help with this

[frigid kite]

Pretty cool then

[ancient hearth]

just use ling; pretty sure there are ling solo runs for this map on youtube

[cyan gorge]

replace Rockrock with Chalter and it'll work just as good

[frigid kite]

Every angry bear ate alive a docker

[foggy grove]

that looks so clean

[rapid oracle]

Can it also work on CM?

[cyan gorge]

Yes

[rapid oracle]

I'll do it, after sanity is replenished

[cyan gorge]

tho on CM I had Lapp behind Mud

and Surt to help with bottom lane

[rapid oracle]

Stickers

Show me

Yours that you used for this goddamn stage

[rapid oracle]

Thankies

[cyan gorge]

Are you dying the the boat march or the dockworker boats?

[main halo]

Seriously?

[cyan gorge]

Astesia the true mvp

[jovial nest]

Does GA anni have Gelato towers?

[cyan gorge]

Yes

[jovial nest]

Cause thats gonna be fun

[cyan gorge]

6 of them

[eager gate]

I did that one the funny gun bird way

[frigid kite]

@fallen chasm so how did it go

[proud drift]

Bruh I just had a funny idea and it ALMOST worked

@scarlet ledge

With a gravel as bait to keep him still

Warf+Fia was ALMOST enough to pop him

Now here’s the catch

[scarlet ledge]

wtf pro

[proud drift]

Fia S1

I think if I jsut drop thrm I might pop him I should try it

[fallen chasm]

400/400

[scarlet ledge]

oh ye dswopey

[frigid kite]

Gratz

[scarlet ledge]

i finished 4★ chocolate street

not fun ngl

[proud drift]

Fuck even with pot3 thrm still need gravel

With pot6 thrm prob don’t need gravel

Fia S1 too good

[proud drift]

Also wtf dalao

[scarlet ledge]

@proud drift final waves moments

[proud drift]

Leite you wouldn’t happen to have a s3m3 chen

[civic nest]

omg durnar gaming

so pro

[scarlet ledge]

i have

but jk

💀

[proud drift]

[civic nest]

leite wat funky ops do u have in main

[proud drift]

@frigid kite can you gib s3m3 chen for a sec

I wanna try funni on pancho

[scarlet ledge]

ngl idk

[civic nest]

too much ops to remember

rich

whel

[frigid kite]

Don't have her sorry 💀

[proud drift]

bruh

I'm legit gonna rush s3m3 lv60 mod3 chen

the moment I get her

assuming I ever get her

[frigid kite]

Minus has

[civic nest]

i have

[proud drift]

I have no slots for friens

[civic nest]

rip

mine is e0 lvl1 anyway

[scarlet ledge]

my alt acc have s2m3 chen

[cyan gorge]

My E1 50 Ch'en just chilling

luckily I'm friends with an M9 Ch'en simp

[rapid oracle]

Does Blaze work on Astesia's spot or nah?

[cyan gorge]

probably

I used her for block on skill and her def buff

also arts

[frigid kite]

Alright, i'll see ya guys later with the Yarin talk, good night

[hardy root]

Beewax or tequila is better guys?

[full finch]

both good

teq good damage
beeswax good tank

[void hull]

How does refraction work?

[full finch]

+70 res when not silenced

[void hull]

So u need to silence it to remove itu?

[full finch]

or use physical damage

[void hull]

Any other way?

[full finch]

I mean
debuffs work too

but silence is much more effective

[void hull]

Cause im struggling with the rock birds

[full finch]

use physical damage

gargoyles are annoying but they don't actually have super high def except during rock mode

[void hull]

Alr thx

[full finch]

550 def normally

+800 during rock mode

[cyan gorge]

Do gargoyles even have refraction?

[storm current]

yes

[full finch]

yeah

[storm current]

pozy can 1 cycle both phase of gargoyle

even the red one iirc

[full finch]

red ones have 750 def

[cyan gorge]

Yeah that's why I never noticed

when I did chap 9, I just brute forced them with SA and Fia

[soft crystal]

Idk why they made a mechanic to specifically fuck arts damage

[proud drift]

to encourage using normal snipers I think

cause for like past 4 chapters snipers were lowkey obsolete

and just physical damage in general

only good vs casters

[soft crystal]

Not really

[proud drift]

[soft crystal]

Silverash was king for a very long time for a reason

[cyan gorge]

snipers were only shafted by chap 7 high def mobs, but not really

[proud drift]

okay of course I could use fiammetta for it but

[storm current]

i mean like

[proud drift]

you gotta discern between

500 ATK physical damage

and 3000 ATK physical damage

[storm current]

what define normal sniper lol

cuz standard maskman hardly do dmg to gargoyle

[soft crystal]

Yeah

[storm current]

average def is like 400

[proud drift]

ya but

the topic was

"why was refraction added"

not "why gargoyle"
