strategy

[radiant plinth]

im coping

[fresh copper]

I slept on Whislash for a long time

Mod upgrades make a huge difference

[molten swan]

Time to grind for cutter e2

[storm current]

Farm gel

[dense pivot]

Where should I start with my basic team building?

This is what I have rn, I don't know what the appropriate ratios of different types should be.

[soft crystal]

One more vanguard, one less guard remove savage. Other than that you can keep most of them as is?

[storm current]

Should add kroos

[molten swan]

I have uh 2 days to get 12 gels

god save my soul

[storm current]

Oh yea omfie

Astgene need gel too

So you better farm them up

[molten swan]

no its for my alt

event has no t3 gels

cutter e2 needs gel

I'm fucked

[dense pivot]

So replace Savage/a guard with a vanguard/low cost one then

Or did you mean remove savage and another guard

Wait no, guard is the sword defender is the shield

So 2 defenders and swap a guard for a Vanguard

Do you recommend Vigna or Courier, and who should I take out for Kroos if that's a good idea?

I'll go with Vigna for now

[keen mountain]

It's pretty okay, you can show the roster to replace someone

[dense pivot]

Like the other units I have you mean?

[keen mountain]

ofc, maybe you can replace Gitano or Savage

Red is highly situational as well

[dense pivot]

I removed Gitano before but realized I needed two casters and my others were all 3* so I put her back in

I like Red personally if I can keep her around

[keen mountain]

Okay, then it may be a better choice. Do you have other 5* guards?

[fresh copper]

The alternate timeline where I'm still a meta slave

[keen mountain]

bro, you literally put Mint in your squad and say that ur not a metaslave

[fresh copper]

Mint is morale support

[worldly wharf]

guys, any good strategy for beating this level?

my current set up

[keen mountain]

replace Utage

[worldly wharf]

okay, any good alternative?

[foggy grove]

More like drop pram

What do you have

Utage is pretty okay at e1

[keen mountain]

get another caster

[dense pivot]

Nope, my highest guards are 4*

[keen mountain]

I'd say that Cutter/Arene/Estelle/Mousse or Utage is a better choice since you already have 2 tanks, you dont need an AOE guard. And Estelle is better imo

[storm current]

What why estelle

[dense pivot]

I did just get Cutter in my recruits actually. Who do I replace with them?

[storm current]

Red

[dense pivot]

Alright

[keen mountain]

I'd say Savage

[dense pivot]

I replaced Savage with Vigne already

[storm current]

Savage out for kroos already

[dense pivot]

Oh, is Kroos better than Vigne here?

[keen mountain]

SHe already has Exusiai, why should she have Kroos?

[dense pivot]

Someone mentioned I should get another vanguard

She, and that's fair [nods]

[soft crystal]

Need vg 2 vg kinda standard for newbies

[foggy grove]

Eh 2 aa is fair early on

[dense pivot]

So 2vg and 2 anti airs is standard early

[soft crystal]

Dont need matoimaru/red for every stage either, can sub in kroos

[keen mountain]

If you really like Red, you can keep her tho. Savage skills are bad, Estelle is better at damage and sustain

btw yeah, you should have 2 vg

[soft crystal]

You can keep red and matoi

Sometimes you just drop them when you dont need em

Which is kind of a lot of stages.

[storm current]

I personally prefer gravel over red for that purpose in case my vanguard is lacking, but ye

[dense pivot]

Here's where I am after swapping Red for Kroos

[scarlet mortar]

E1 SA copium, if you really don't have better single-target dps ig you can keep him

[storm current]

Do you have spot or gummy, use them instead of matterhorn

[dense pivot]

Firewatch counts as an aa too I assume so that's e antiairs?

I think I just got them in recent recruits

[keen mountain]

you don't need catapult in there btw, take some caster.

[dense pivot]

Will throw in Gummy

[storm current]

No, shes deadeye, she has no drone priority and lower dps early on

[dense pivot]

Aah okay

Is it good to swap her out for early game then or

[storm current]

She is fine early, but you still need to run kroos exu early on due to drone

[dense pivot]

Fair fair

[worldly wharf]

Thx for the tip, I'll just see if I can rearrange some of my operator

[dense pivot]

Any last thoughts?

[keen mountain]

@dense pivot you can replace Firewatch with Midnight

[storm current]

Do you happen to have pinecone

Wait why midnight

[keen mountain]

1 guard

I'd put two

[storm current]

Thats not it

You can ignore midnight

[keen mountain]

He is good though

[scarlet mortar]

but not midnight of all people

[storm current]

Check your depot, do you have senior selector ticket @dense pivot

[dense pivot]

Oh, I do actually

[keen mountain]

She told me she has only 3* guards besides Matoi

[dense pivot]

Just returned to the game after being gone for 3 years

[storm current]

Can you screenshot the selector

[dense pivot]

I might've meant defenders I get them mixed up

[keen mountain]

okay, so what about guards?

[scarlet mortar]

...point stands, he's useful only for his range and arts if you only need it once

[dense pivot]

I just got Cutter like in recruits a few minutes ago lol

[scarlet mortar]

i'd just get ranged dps and a defender rather than raising midnight

[storm current]

Ok its the small one, you can pick lappland, and use over firewatch

[scarlet mortar]

cutter, done

[storm current]

Cutter is good and you may replace matoimaru with cutter

[keen mountain]

Yeah, definitely upgrade Cutter and use it

[dense pivot]

Alright, cutter and lapp it is

[keen mountain]

btw, with Cutter I doubt she needs 2 snipers

[dense pivot]

I have one more selector, which of those left two?

[keen mountain]

but okay, try with what you have

[dense pivot]

Kk, ty o7

[keen mountain]

Liskarm

[dense pivot]

Aye aye

[keen mountain]

Since your Gummy is lvl 1 Liskarm would be better

[storm current]

Eh no

You want to use gummy regardless

Typically you want a tanky defender and a healing defender

Cuora liskarm are the tanky type

Gummy is the healing type

[dense pivot]

Looks good?

[keen mountain]

maybe, tho she has two really good healers

[keen mountain]

yep, that's good

[storm current]

No, you still want a healing defender as they can stall mobs without medics

[dense pivot]

Aye aye, thank you for the help ❤️ ^^

Gonna grind out some stuff to level them

[keen mountain]

Kroos is optional tho, you can replace her with someone else you see fit for a specific stage

[storm current]

What no, keep her

[keen mountain]

jeez

[storm current]

You really want 2 maskman early on

There are a lot of drone early on

And there are split lane stages

[keen mountain]

it depends, sometimes it's not necessary. I mean Amiya is ranged too and Cutter can kill drones as well

[storm current]

Fuck that

Thats terrible advice

Amiya has mediocre dmg

No drone priority

Cutter can only do that on skill

And she has to attack to charge skill

So your advice are terrible

Even ranger kill drone better than amiya

[keen mountain]

As I said, you can replace her if you see that you don't need her on that stage and you have issues with smth else

[storm current]

The only practical case of caster for drone is steward for frost drone since he prioritize high def enemies

Thats why you are wrong @keen mountain

Why would you replace a strong unit for weaker ones

Early on kroos is stronger than most units you can have

[keen mountain]

yeah, he saved me on 6-11 back then

[storm current]

And steward is not amiya

[keen mountain]

maybe, she is good against ground units as well

[storm current]

Early on

There are dog rush

Snipers/casters enemies

And drones

Most big dudes with axe like logger has low def as well

So kroos will just out dps most of your units because of that

[keen mountain]

yeah, I remember, Kroos is broken in early chapters

[storm current]

So why are you suggest replacing her

[keen mountain]

for the challenge?

[dense pivot]

I'm looking for basic functionality LOL

[keen mountain]

okay, that's for later then

[soft crystal]

Most core casters suck cause they have a 1.6 atk interval while having slightly higher atk than snipers.

[dense pivot]

So casters are usually lower overall dps then

I know I need them for high DEF stuff at least

[keen mountain]

you still need them tho

[dense pivot]

Yeye fair

[rustic turret]

Can someone help me with 3-3

[keen mountain]

what is it?

[rustic turret]

2-2 convulsion

Convolution I mean

I need help with placement and what I need to place first and what to use in it

This is probably a horrible selection fml

[foggy grove]

where is your lava?
aoe caster is kinda good early on

[rustic turret]

I have lava

[foggy grove]

2 defender in front blue box while your aoe caster and sniper killing what they blocked

you can spawn kill heavy defender with slower and st caster

[near folio]

Should I stop at Mint S1M1 or go all the way to M3?

[turbid badge]

uhh

s1, so probably all the way, but if your broke u can stay m1

gains are Pretty similar so up to you if you want to m3, or stay m1

[foggy grove]

nvm tequila,use actual caster
~~i just wanna see how e1 l1 teq fares ~~

[turbid badge]

lul

[rustic turret]

Ok ty

[turbid badge]

me when stewart and amiya

[tired relic]

i am stuck at m8-8

idk i cant manage the healing

all operator die simultaneously near first phase end

even though i take 4 medics

[molten swan]

What medics were they

[tired relic]

one is multi-target and other three are hibiscus, ansel and warfarin

ptilopsis

[full finch]

what level is ptilo

[tired relic]

e1max

[full finch]

what about your defender

[torn ice]

try not to hit the bird hard
damaging little by little would ease the healing a bit

[tired relic]

i just take one

cuora

e1 max

[full finch]

hmm

that's not great

[storm current]

is the problem the boss or the mobs

[tired relic]

boss and the cloud mist that he releases

maybe because it stacks

[storm current]

it stacks

[torn ice]

it does

[tired relic]

ic

[full finch]

huh

[storm current]

at phase 1

[torn ice]

thats why its not ideal to burst in one go

[tired relic]

is killing too fast also too bad?

then

[storm current]

every 20% hp loss is 50 true dmg per stack

[torn ice]

if you lack the healing yes dont kill too fast

[opaque elm]

Are there guide for IS in general, I'm just won my first boss

With only 1 life point left lmao

[full finch]

killing too fast isn't actually that bad if your medic is enough
not sure if E1 ptilo is enough

[storm current]

i mean

[full finch]

usually the issue is lizardmen since the boss is easy

[storm current]

i ended up using lumen and warfarin, both e1 on my alt

[torn ice]

thats exactly what i mean by (lack healing)

[storm current]

if you burst using like

chalter

then ye not enough

what units are you using

[tired relic]

wait lemme send ss

[full finch]

what I mean is
concentrating the dust damage in a shorter period of time lines it up with burst healing
which is much more easily accessible than good consistent healing

however, the boss buffs mobs while awake which makes lizardmen and throwers a bigger issue

[storm current]

i wonder how m8-8 will turn out once we get mlynar

[full finch]

+20% atk and 20 ASPD in phase2

[storm current]

oh ye

[full finch]

to all possessed enemies

[storm current]

mlynar should able to nuke egg form as well

[torn ice]

its more of getting used to the mode, in general try to spend hope on dps units first (so dont spend on high rarity vanguards or supportive units like saria/ng early on)

also make sure to power your self up on the insight tree after every run (its on the left side near medals)

[storm current]

egg form has 2.8k def

mlynar hit for 3.6k

[torn ice]

the boss you beaten is just one of 5 mini boss fights if your run is still on

[tired relic]

it's before texas right?

[storm current]

yes

[tired relic]

damn i might not be able to get mlynar and save for texas at same time

[full finch]

I think E1 ptilo should be enough, do you have like sussurro or something

[molten swan]

surely we'll get mlynar before texas

[full finch]

warfarin
hmm

[molten swan]

Mf cant do shit

[tired relic]

texas>???

[molten swan]

what

[tired relic]

penance is also good

[tired relic]

i was asking if that was texas alter?

[turbid badge]

huh

[full finch]

that's mountain

[turbid badge]

me when mountain s3

[tired relic]

oh mbmb

[soft crystal]

People forget when mountain has a pgud burst dps skill

[gray stone]

That rivals Bagpepe

[soft crystal]

Truly a vanguard

[near folio]

Is it better to pull mlynar or texalter banner if I could only go for one

[proud drift]

texalter imo

you can always get a mlynar since he's not limited

• you can always borrow him

[near folio]

Stainless banner projected to come before or after texalter?

[turbid badge]

uhh in my opinion

do atleast 10 on Mlynar

[sonic willow]

Mlynar is a better op with a better rate up. Only reason to prio texas is limited FOMO

[turbid badge]

provisio is a little nice addition on his banner for base

Yeah or u can just borrow

[turbid badge]

its ch 11

[near folio]

Texas banner seems better value wise since you got two strong operators on rate up

[turbid badge]

banner

[near folio]

Dont feel like getting another SA dupe

[sonic willow]

Mlynar is better than whatever the fuck extra rate up you get for penance

[proud drift]

idk penance is hotter than SA

(+ she's pretty bonkers overall afaik)

(not mudrock-tier, but bonkers)

and besides

you can't guarantee mlynar in 300

you can guarantee sexas in 300

[turbid badge]

i like limited banners, cuz free pulls!!

[near folio]

I might need to start orundum farming

😭

[turbid badge]

uhh

i mean up to you 😭

[sonic willow]

0.52% of that happening

If you're that unlucky, idk die or something

[turbid badge]

lol

[proud drift]

I've seen ppl that unlucky, yes

(a friend of mine didn't get W in 280 pulls on her release and failed to pity her)

(another friend of mine failed to get ling in 270 pulls and didn't pity her)

[near folio]

Thats sad

[proud drift]

genshin you fail pity on a banner you can guarantee next pity

arknights you fail 6 on-banners in a row

and you won't guarantee still

[sonic willow]

That is about 10x more likely to occur so not a good comparison

[proud drift]

that is not the point

probability is gambler's fallacy

if the game decides you're unlucky

then you're just unlucky

thus I think it's better to play around the factor of being unlucky

also do limiteds have worse rateup than permanent banners?

[turbid badge]

no?

[sonic willow]

50% > 35%

[turbid badge]

oh yeah

[sonic willow]

Idk you tell me

[near folio]

35% for both the featured 6s

[sonic willow]

Mlynar is better than whatever the fuck extra rate up you get for penance

[turbid badge]

the other featureed

[proud drift]

yeah but sexas is limited

so like

• you can guarantee sexas + free pulls

[sonic willow]

As I said, only reason to prio texas is FOMO

[near folio]

Texas seems really strong too though

[proud drift]

do like 10-20 pulls on mlynar idk, but it's just gonna be so bad for the player to all-in and not get anything

[turbid badge]

theres a "true" limited Executor a bit after her

heeheehaw

[near folio]

Yato alter doesnt seem to perform on the same level as texalter

Or am I missing something?

[turbid badge]

yeah, im just pulling for like 10 provisio and hopefully get mlynar if not its fine lol

[sonic willow]

Fear mongering 50% rate up to cope for texas come on

[proud drift]

I mean yeah

I'd rather gamble for a limited and lose knowing game hates me

[livid delta]

That's true since sometimes she does more damage

[proud drift]

than fail non-limited that I'll eventually get anyways

and at the same time basically be fucked for limited

[sonic willow]

The only argument is FOMO

[near folio]

I dont think I have enough pulls to go for mlynar though

[sonic willow]

If you have FOMO then texas

[turbid badge]

yeah

you can always save 300 on another celebration banner and spark her way later as well, if you can manage that atleast lol

[proud drift]

in the end the real question is

do you find mlynar hotter

or do you find sexas and penance hotter

that's how you should decide your pulls

[turbid badge]

[proud drift]

[near folio]

[proud drift]

while mlynar is badass af, lowkey penance more badass

[near folio]

Hard choice

[turbid badge]

i tried to only use free pulls for gavial alter, than i succumed to cantiable bait

[sonic willow]

I'm taking horse boi, have too many booba on my team

[near folio]

My Cantabile still E050

[proud drift]

I just want penance tbh

I don't mind not getting sexas

Penance is queen

her design is just way too fucking cool

[sonic willow]

I want texas

[near folio]

Sounds like someone without hellagur

[proud drift]

also if we fight theresis any time soon more booba won't hurt

[sonic willow]

I want frd. Phantom is too vanilla

[near folio]

Anyways good news for men enjoyers we getting Vigil along with sexas

Hes not the best but he can do some stuff

[turbid badge]

Oh yeah vigil

[proud drift]

while I ain't a male enjoyer

[turbid badge]

i would probably bench him to much mofos to build, building bn like rn 💀

[proud drift]

I do appreciate good male designs

[sonic willow]

Why vigil not using ch11 dogs as pets... He using the dogs from Réunion in ch1

Defo building vigil love me some ranged vg fodder for sss

[near folio]

I find Phantom quite interesting as a frd

[soft crystal]

Why does vigil dog have no range

[near folio]

Just use him along with shamare

[soft crystal]

While blacknight hypnos has a cross range

[proud drift]

don't all tacticians pets have no range

[soft crystal]

No

Hypnos has range

[turbid badge]

phantom clone aspect as frdp makes him fun,

yeah adjacent range

[proud drift]

Blacknight S2 =/= pet range

[near folio]

Bigger issue is his dog needs to be blocking the enemy for the damage boost

[proud drift]

no?

cuz beanstalk has no range too

[soft crystal]

Thats exactly what i mean for range

[near folio]

That means u cant just splitbox with the dog and someone else

[proud drift]

oh what the fuck

[sonic willow]

Well yeah, but I want flashy effects same reason I prefer gg over Eyja or FT over Saga.

At this point, just want pretty explosion on screen

[proud drift]

why does it have range

[turbid badge]

smh be like beanstalk and summon 4 extra wolfs

[near folio]

I would say gg > eyja in the current state of AK

[proud drift]

Eyja S3 is still better than GG

as a helidrop scenario

imo

[fresh copper]

[turbid badge]

sweep

[proud drift]

it's a lot more reliable

[turbid badge]

😴

[fresh copper]

That was a stressful stallfest

[near folio]

True but laneholders these days already have means to clear out big mob waves

[proud drift]

well

I mean more cases like

upcoming DV event

[near folio]

As ranged op gg can just focus on sniping enemies far away

[proud drift]

where you have random robots on map you want gone asap

so you drop S3 eyja

press S3

robots gone

player happy

[soft crystal]

S2 not active

[proud drift]

ye ik I sent picture above

I looked at gamepress

[soft crystal]

[sonic willow]

Yeah I put a lot of stock in making SSS as painless as possible prefer gg

[proud drift]

I still don't get why it has range

[turbid badge]

lol

[proud drift]

like

it's unfair

to beanstalk

(and vigil)

[turbid badge]

[soft crystal]

Well i mean

Shes a 5 star

[turbid badge]

sleep

[soft crystal]

Meanwhile mr 6 star has 0 range on wolves

[near folio]

What if u sleep something that the slumberfoot isnt blocking

Then u need the range

[turbid badge]

her tactitcal point is just bigger smh

[soft crystal]

Yep

[near folio]

Vigil's dog doesnt need the range

It just needs to survive longer than it currently does 😔

[soft crystal]

Imo i think it does.

When it has range and the ignore def trait is changed to enemies within the doggo range gets def ignore rather than blocking

His kit would be a lot better.

[near folio]

Of course

If Vigil's dog dies can it be resummoned?

[turbid badge]

Can summon a Wolf Pack with two "Wolf Shadows" initially to assist in combat from a Tactical Point, and the amount of "Wolf Shadow" increases by one every 25 seconds (max. 3; each "Wolf Shadow" increases the Wolf Pack's Block by 1 and its attacks deal an additional hit)

[soft crystal]

It regens back like other tactician pets

[near folio]

When you initially drop the dog does it spawn with only 1 head or all 3 heads?

[tired relic]

how much is the skill cost after m3-ing lap's s2

[turbid badge]

pretty sure only one head

[soft crystal]

1

[near folio]

I see, can the dog gain heads while not deployed?

[molten swan]

No

[turbid badge]

pretty sure it doesnt

[near folio]

I see, no wonder he got dissed on

[turbid badge]

oh yeah his wolfs get block every shadow , and there pretty frail so you can see how that goes

[molten swan]

a Vanguard with SP costs that completely nullify bagpipe's talent because even with bagpipe, he takes too long to open with S3
wolf only respawns with one life when it dies, and the respawn of per shadow is too long (25s)
His S3, trait and talent requires him to target enemies blocked by wolf, but he doesn’t prioritise attacking them
His S2 is a worse version of Siege S2 because he can’t store charges like siege can and has worse dmg and his DP gen with s2 is dependent on enemies getting attacked by his wolves constantly
Wolves having multiple block count at higher lives means they take damage from more melee enemies at the same time, making them even squisher
Vigil’s main source of damage requires the wolf to be alive and block enemies, so if wolf dies he loses a ton of dps, and the wolf is as already said, exceptionally squishy and slow to regenerate lives

It's important to note he can cheese bosses like Frostnova or Mandragora because the wolf isn't the main dmg source, it's him standing far away, and he isn't afflicted by the freeze FN has or the ASPD down beam Mandragora has
But the situations where he is useful is far outweighed by his limitations

Wolves not gaining blocks while not deployed isnt significant since it cant be redeployed anyway

[supple mountain]

welfareknights

[lethal dragon]

Indeed

Dalao moment

[neat skiff]

Really wish Vigil had gotten the Passenjesus treatment.

Here is hoping his module adds a sizeable amount of def to the wolf. The attack stat is passable when there are 2-3 stacks.

[molten swan]

his module will need to buff

a lot of his aspects

to be actually usable

and I don't mean passenger-tier usable, like mostima-tier usable

[neat skiff]

It's such a shame they did a Kirara and went opposite to what makes the 4/5 stars good.

[molten swan]

let's see...

If vigil mod somehow does things like
“Wolf stats def+100 hp+200
Regens wolf every 20 seconds
Prioritizes enemy blocked by wolf
Killing enemy blocked restores 1 sp”
That would fix a lot of his problems
But alas

[neat skiff]

Yeah, I'm someone most excited about his S1 so I would be most happy with the first one. He doesn't have the raw stats to be anything except "generate DP while blocking dogs while looking good".

[scarlet ledge]

i use vigil s1

god skill

[neat skiff]

Like, dude has 542 base attack at E2L90. Even his S3M3 is a triple hit of 813 damage against someone with 0 def 0 res. 1220 if the wolf is blocking and not deleted in 3 autos.

Meanwhile Blacknight has 1054 arts damage in an AoE.

S3M3 is triple hit of 542 if the wolf is not blocking. I misread.

[swift solar]

Any tips on2-3 challenge?

[neat skiff]

2-3 or S2-3?

[molten swan]

lemme check the stage

[swift solar]

This

[molten swan]

s2-3 doesnt have cm

all s(num) stages dont

borrow mountain

[neat skiff]

Oh, 2-3. You can deploy the roadblocks on any ground tile that you can deploy an operator on. Not only where they tell you to.

[swift solar]

I have mountain lol

[molten swan]

dont be ashamed to borrow on challenge mode

oh splendid

then borrow any good arts unit

spam medic harem

you're done

[swift solar]

Yeah ty for the help

[neat skiff]

"Cost of roadblocks and melee operators are doubled"

[molten swan]

I can just stall a unit with charger vg

ezpz

[foggy grove]

you have like 19 dp before enemy showing up

mountain should be fine

[molten swan]

Easy

[elder flume]

5 vg feater is fun

wonder if 5 vg cliff is almost perma stun

[neat skiff]

5 VG Blacknight *should* be.

In 6 seconds she would get 10 SP from VG and 6 SP from 6 second sleep duration.

Throw in Ptilopsis and she would perma stall. Would take literal aeons to kill everyone though.

[molten swan]

I think fersangu did blacknight carry sss

once

[neat skiff]

Yeah, it would not be fun. Would basically only be for "first time to 8 to unlock B side"

[main solstice]

you need ptilo or you will lose arround 1 sp per skill

[scarlet ledge]

hi fer

[main solstice]

[hushed umbra]

What's this guy thing ? Strong melee?

[scarlet ledge]

invi ranged tile
use sniper there

[hushed umbra]

Exu ?

Should be quick with his s2

[scarlet ledge]

ye

[hushed umbra]

Done ty

It did scare the shit out of me

He 1 tap both my defenders xD

[scarlet ledge]

lol

[elder flume]

Yea i still hate sss

Too much vanguards

[scarlet mortar]

melee

[hushed umbra]

It looked like he was melee

But then he pulled out the big guns xD

[scarlet mortar]

that guy becomes a regular ass elite later on btw

enjoy

[hushed umbra]

Hmm he fked my defenders xD

They were tanking big white guys with an axe

Then he shoot and they got shredded

[fresh copper]

4 medics and still dying to buffed poison from Lugia

[signal granite]

your medic all single target?

[glass monolith]

Where Breeze

[bleak crow]

Wth this map i never remember this one

[scarlet mortar]

ah yes, the funny CM

[glass monolith]

Me who hasn't done CM on it:

[scarlet mortar]

me neither

[hushed umbra]

Possible?

[cosmic thicket]

Is this CE-4?

[scarlet ledge]

@hushed umbra wjat number doe?

[hushed umbra]

Yy

[cosmic thicket]

Okay

[hushed umbra]

4

[scarlet ledge]

oh ce-4

[hushed umbra]

Sorry

[cosmic thicket]

Should definitely be possible then

[scarlet ledge]

ur fine then

[cosmic thicket]

Main concern are the parachuters that come in the back

[signal granite]

CE3 is slightly different... (less some tiles from red boxes)

[cosmic thicket]

They'll walk right then turn back

[hushed umbra]

Should i make a ranger shoot them ?

[cosmic thicket]

No need

They'll be blocked by your ops if you place them on the right side

[modern chasm]

Hold on, isn't it a thing if a ranged op gets blocked from behind they won't turn around and shoot?

Just asking

[scarlet mortar]

ranged ops don't have blocking prio so they'll just keep targeting the enemy closest to the blue box

(accounting for pathing, that won't be the defender dudes no)

[proud drift]

is there a special ritual to get bagpipe?

she dodged me 3rd time in a row now in the recruit combo

[lethal dragon]

I need doggo

Maybe she is running from her outfit

I shouldn't have bought it

[tame pond]

strats for this map?

[smoky crescent]

Who do u have

[tame pond]

hold

ignore the amount of neglect

[pure orchid]

ah perfect, silverash can singlehandedly carry you for that stage

and then ifrit, 2 of your best snipers (kroos will do for one of them), 2 medics, maybe 3 or 4 defenders, and ofc a vanguard

some key things to do would be
place ifrit at the top facing down (to burn all the lanes down)
place silverash in the middle (so his schwing schwing can reach most or even all of the lanes)
place your better medic and sniper at the bottom (as it will have higher pressure later on)

everything else is whatever and im sure you can come up with the rest on your own, you got this doctor

[tame pond]

the results

bringing meteorite was a bad decision

[pure orchid]

hey not bad, tho you should replace meteorite with a marksman

some of the defenders could be replaced by alternatives such as blaze, la pluma, and arene
you can mix and match to see which works best

note: if you end up using blaze, place her in such a way that she can hold 2 lanes at once

[smoky crescent]

https://youtu.be/m-pKohpNMOo take a reference from this ? U can make some alternatives!

[pure orchid]

taking reference from this video is good and all, but only if you learn from it and not just blatantly copy it
copying strats without understanding them will make future stages harder for you, until you end up being dependent on guides for everything

[radiant plinth]

bahahahahaahah

skull

i have a temporary solution

but it does not solve my problems

[glass monolith]

Solution
Doesn't solve
That's AK i love

[opal kiln]

Hey guys

How to clear H9-6

[glass monolith]

Depends on if you have Chalter and Silverash to ease your pain

[pure orchid]

honestly idk, i havent cleared it myself and think that the early mob rush is fucking stupid

[radiant plinth]

it creates 2 new problems

the main problem remains

nian does not live a 2nd hit

i do not have a timing

if nian lives 1 more hit

[lethal dragon]

Start with Myrtle get dp place down your operators and kill

[radiant plinth]

i have a guaranteed timing

but for now

i remain 2500 dmg short

[glass monolith]

"It didn't solve first problem and made 2 more"
Ok are you sure you playing AK instead working as programmer?

[pure orchid]

what if they're working as a programmer for AK

[glass monolith]

Then why the fuck Global fixed Levitation + Trap and Pause deploy?

[pure orchid]

can you program my account to have a million orundums please

[latent monolith]

I farmed rma for today and got precisely zero drops

[radiant plinth]

it does solve the first problem

[latent monolith]

I need exactly one more to have enough to E2 astgenne

Meanwhile i was full copium mode and killed Mandra with Ambriel Goldenglow Pozy combo because stupid cat is 1.5 range

[lethal dragon]

Just skadi her

[glass monolith]

I had NTR just at her death lazor

[lethal dragon]

Skadi>Ntrdontpingme

[glass monolith]

Only thing i have against that statement is than i don't have Skadi and both top tags attempts to roll her give me Chens

[latent monolith]

Dragon woman very cool

Lots of funny number

(on pancho, 7861 is final slash and 7265 is regular S3 slash)

Or wait why does the one attack do more damage

They're all the same scaling

Either way that's a lot of damage

[dense pivot]

Is it feasible to finish 2-8 without a pusher, since they're so niche, or should I have one on hand for this regardless?

[lethal dragon]

Yep raise Shaw lil bit will be useful later on

[dense pivot]

Aye aye o7

[lethal dragon]

Only need skill level 4

[glass monolith]

Metal crab are quite annoying to kill due their stupid stats so you better just eat that Shaw tutorial bullshit than take hour to kill one

[scarlet ledge]

It is not my fault that main boss of hard mode IS2 is doing something about crab if you don't have pusher in accident map

2 more days for OUR Astgenne?

Astgenne SWEEP

[narrow crown]

Total defeat

[glass monolith]

Well they should make secret medal for killing rest of stage but dying to clown cars

[frigid kite]

Secret medal?

[glass monolith]

rephrased that cringe

[frigid kite]

I see

[glass monolith]

If you have Shamare, throw that ATK debuff on that stage, also try to spawn kill cars if possible

I used Fia + Indigo for that and.... I don't know cars defense stats, i just attacked

[cyan gorge]

an E1 Indigo can solo the cars on top

Fia/Horn/SA can handle bottom right

[glass monolith]

Yea but like he has BP and Flatinum and i don't know if they can kill cars

[cyan gorge]

cars have high def but low res

Plat I don't think will do much

[glass monolith]

600 def, i think it falls within Plat don't care range

S2 activate plat will kill them

[cyan gorge]

I'd test, but my plat is still E1

[proud drift]

borrow skalter s3

kill all the spawns

no more problems

[turbid badge]

oh wiw didnt know vulcan had a skill. that gave her +1 block

[fresh copper]

Damn bird needs correction 💢 💢💢

[cyan gorge]

That's a lot of medics

[civic nest]

7 ops only

[glass monolith]

that's not enough of medics also i stil don't see Breeze cuz i don't know how she looks

[fresh copper]

Shop ops aren't allowed

[glass monolith]

grumpy cat face

[fresh copper]

Amiya isn't allowed either

So I'm down one bosskiller against a boss that I'm on a time limit against

[glass monolith]

Bring wildmare and stab them to death

[fresh copper]

Except rushing him also means more poison damage

[civic nest]

thought wildmane could be useful here given the push

[fresh copper]

Which I can't sustain

[civic nest]

she can push the possessed soldier right?

[fresh copper]

She can

But Bison can tank them just fine with some aid from Gladiia's S2

[civic nest]

[fresh copper]

He'll tank even better once he gets his mod

[civic nest]

defenders mod do be making me hard

as their defense

in SSS, does Warfarin go better with sniper or caster stacks to keep surtr alive? just trying it for fun

[glass monolith]

S1 sniper stack

But idon't own surtr so can't say for sure if you need more medics or god knows what

[lilac oak]

ok gotcha

[glass monolith]

I think there was SSS with surtr video on youtube or something

[lilac oak]

ooh ok I'll go look for that

[molten swan]

Leveling tequila was the right choice

[glass monolith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc5RTYINqhc

[lilac oak]

ya first one I found, ty 😆

speaking of which

are there any good masteries / operators to focus on to improve the the survivability of surtr in surtr hospital?

or should I just post my current setup and ask what's left to do? I'm reading and thinking Nearl module might be the next upgrade to go for

[cursive nebula]

any changes i should make to this? how should i play it? its the daily one with no risk

[lilac oak]

wdym by changes? looks like you have enough firepower I think

[cursive nebula]

to the team on the bottom

im working on getting a screenshot of my units but its taking a little to load

[lilac oak]

ah ok

yeah I mean, it seems like you've got some vanguards to start with, defenders and medics to tank free while you gun him down with Amiya? should be doable

[molten swan]

you're honestly fine

proceed like normal

defenders isnt needed cuz he does arts lmao

he also has a crap ton of res

casters wont do shit unless its ifrit

[glass monolith]

Are you sure he knows what is "normal" for this damn WR event CC?

[molten swan]

failure makes perfect

[cursive nebula]

i cant get a strategy down because it takes about 3 seconds and then 2 smarty's leak through and everyone dies

[molten swan]

Bruh what

[civic nest]

mudrock infinite stall!!!

in all seriousness

the only time i have to interrupt the smarty was later on in the stage

[cursive nebula]

everything has a cooldown of 3 hours 😭

[civic nest]

like i said

[cursive nebula]

no no i think i got it

[civic nest]

then gl

[glass monolith]

If i post "my" solution to this shit stage once again neb will report me to admins

[civic nest]

u could tho

that’s related to helping this man

[glass monolith]

Can't die to explosion if you not here

[civic nest]

heavyrain fr

definitely have heavyrain built ♿

[glass monolith]

I couldn't find Ifrit S3 for challenge 8 which gives you MINUS 60 ATTACK SPEED REEE so i had to improvise

Can you break boss shield to avoid explosions?

[civic nest]

u can

just need alot of damage

[glass monolith]

by YOU i mean guy who tries to do this shit stage

[civic nest]

😂

how would i know

[glass monolith]

Because me has 2 solutions one of which "I can't" then it escalates to Heavy 🧀 . Or I can. Then

[civic nest]

or u could mudrock stall

[glass monolith]

didn't had her during initial suffering

[cursive nebula]

no i get close but it doesnt break. i get to here on the FIRST phase and he then nukes me

[glass monolith]

To break shield you need to do 7500 damage to it within like 15 seconds

[cursive nebula]

whatever screw this im just using the chalter cheese

no satisfaction of beating it myself for me i guess

[glass monolith]

Path of wise

I used guide to beat risk 0 during CC

but mostly because i just can't remember colors shit and then explode and envy is bitch aaaaaaa

[cursive nebula]

does his shield get bonus hp in second phase

[glass monolith]

don't really recall

Honestly if you reach phase 2 it will be second of your problems

It will attack 2 targets in phase 2

and if there is no second target he will just erase first one twice

oh also it gain attack buff in phase 2

[cursive nebula]

he doesnt do that much damage it just he explodes and kills everyone instantly

[glass monolith]

Boss has 2 gimmicks one of which was nerfed to be locked behind risk. Shield which suppose to murder you if not broken. And him constantly exploding your operators and causing color of tiles to switch

Characters with huge health pool can survive explosion phase 1. In phase 2 when boss gains ATK buff i think it is not an option at all

Outside of shields which block instance of damage (Roberta device on melee operator, Mudrock shield on self)

[molten swan]

Just use melantha

Lmao ez

All it takes were some good positioning

[civic nest]

dalao

[glass monolith]

While i am on copium tour with Kazemaru you do same with Tequila?

[molten swan]

he does quite a ton of damage why not

[fresh copper]

Tequila pog

And Cutter too

[civic nest]

is it me or is that courier and red e0

[glass monolith]

Shhhh

[molten swan]

shhhh

[civic nest]

[proud drift]

While I have no experience with it

Some obvious ones would be

Saria S1 and warfarin S1

Pretty much all the big burst ones

Warfarin scales the hardest probably cuz max hp heal

Idk if cost goes down or charges go up

Chalter

[pearl musk]

Ic

[full finch]

well
if you don't use pillars chalter doesn't have anywhere close to enough damage

can confirm

I think I did pillarless because rarity aboos is fun
it took like
chalter + silverash + suzuran to barely kill p2

[proud drift]

I did a few ways but one I learned that can do it is chen s3+warf s2+thrm+2pillars

[whole crater]

i used chalter ifrit eyja surtr saria + 4 pillars on the non h stage

[scarlet fulcrum]

For 9-19 that team more than enough, for h one doable if u try hard enough ig. But just borrow chalter for mob rush

its a mtter of pride

i actually do not see myself pulling this off tho

because i got it in a fluke

i was trying smth new

and i was so surprised it worked that i whiffed

[lethal dragon]

LET'S GOO

[radiant plinth]

i say this

because on review

there are a few things i only have a few frames to do

[turbid badge]

it whifffed

every frame counts!!

[proud drift]

But can you execute it in practice is the question

[molten swan]

I mean

A few frames

Are very generous

Compared to the unholy gaps we have filled in the past

[proud drift]

You say that but uh

Cobra already does what

2 or 3 FRAME PERFECT skill activations or deployments idk exactly

And has to do it consistently too

In separate instances

[molten swan]

Adding on a 3-frame timing to that run sounds like a small task

[turbid badge]

it all adds up in the end

[proud drift]

Well ya, but it also means more things to accidentally slip on

[turbid badge]

if it works it works frfr

[radiant plinth]

3

i also need 1 3-frame hit

and now another 2 frame hit

[proud drift]

[radiant plinth]

yea

Why does croissant have a + aura around her

And what’s the goal

canta s2 grass

Just keep them perma in box?
