strategy

[latent anvil]

what is happening here

[frigid kite]

.

[turbid badge]

wtf

the other one makes it much clear

[lethal dragon]

Get the blue one

[opal kiln]

hmm

now the one missing in top right is looking more and more like sa s2

[turbid badge]

i like how in the other two the two swords became some wierd blob

[tawdry ridge]

What is the recommendation for this core team?

(include Morgan and Dagda in the future)

[frigid kite]

Recommendation would be context

[soft crystal]

Abc and glasgow

I guess get chen and fill lungmen with hoshi

[turbid badge]

infukun?

[tawdry ridge]

Yes, infukun

[turbid badge]

also what recommendation?

like masteries orr

[tawdry ridge]

Medic and Mastery

[turbid badge]

uhh

indra s2? idk theres really no dedicated medic dagda heals herself aswell in chap 11

[opal kiln]

if u really wanna go all in
hoshi s3m3
red m6
aosta broca chiave indra dagda morgan all s2m3
siege m6

[turbid badge]

masteries i recommend doing chiave s2 masteries, or any of them skill you use most since your doing nicheknights anyways

[tawdry ridge]

tbh, I never used ABC seriously so S2M3 on all 3?

[turbid badge]

yea

[opal kiln]

I could see aosta s1m3 being better

which means

[tawdry ridge]

I did Hoshi S2M3, do I really need S3M3? I will do Red S1M3 later, and what another M3? S1 or S3?

[opal kiln]

just do m6

[turbid badge]

hoshi s3 masteries are nice

[opal kiln]

I prefer hoshi s3 over s2 all the time unless I'm afking

which is the only time I use hoshi

[turbid badge]

lol

[tawdry ridge]

What about Seige?

I did S2M3, I need S3M3 also?

[opal kiln]

I don't have much experience with siege

but I think s3 will be more useful(?)

[latent anvil]

no always s2

[turbid badge]

yea

[latent anvil]

s3 suck

[turbid badge]

i mean generally yeah

[dusky briar]

if i cant clear nl event during this time, can i got those medals later?

[turbid badge]

you can always find ways to use different skills in nicheknights so you could m6 or just hold off masteries if ur broke and do it slowly

[mystic crag]

Any tips for clearing sss?

[indigo pulsar]

no, medals can only be obained while the event is active

[dusky briar]

thank you

[latent anvil]

dont use the wack operators, just use mlynar gg gnosis

mudrock irene maybe

[tawdry ridge]

Ok, so I have to ABC S2M3, Hoshi S3M3 and Red S1M3 (Dagda M6 later)

What about medic for that niche team? And what about Morgan also

[cosmic dagger]

akira made a good post summarizing team building a couple months back https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/zxtcxd/a_few_tips_and_strategy_for_the_new_sss_game_mode/
there was also another post discussing supporter spam decks that i found particularly good too https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/zyvtcm/sss_stationary_security_service_0_card_deck/

[tidal sedge]

Since I don't have many good e2 ops should I just borrow somebody like thorns or chalter for is?

[cosmic dagger]

The graphic linked above is not an accurate representation of the actual meta

[hollow forum]

Guard / Vanguard E2 + Thorns starter is pretty common for is2 runs

[opal kiln]

infukun doesn't have a medic

of course you can just add a medic
it's your own rules

[tidal sedge]

fuck no e2 vanguard, can I use sa?

[opal kiln]

they mean the insta e2 guards/vanguards starting squad

[cosmic dagger]

Chalter opener is solid

[hollow forum]

this

[tidal sedge]

Oh

wait insta e2? How tf

[tawdry ridge]

What about Morgan? S2M3 also?

[tidal sedge]

is there a starter squad that does that?

[opal kiln]

yes

[hollow forum]

there are, but they're locked behind certain conditions

for example, insta E2 Vanguards / Guard require you to beat a full run with a lot of vanguards / guards in your squad ( don't remember the specific numbers though )

[tidal sedge]

well, shit haven't done a full runcyet

Keep dying cuz I'm skill issuet

[opal kiln]

it's 5 iirc

[hollow forum]

ye just checked, it's 5

[hollow forum]

Then you can try chalter or mudrock starters

both are more useful than thorns at E1

unless you wanna gamble on getting guard vouchers early

[tidal sedge]

How tf do I get both mudrock and chalter with my good ol 6 hope

[hollow forum]

who said both?

[tidal sedge]

Oh

[hollow forum]

just either of them will do

[tidal sedge]

ok yeah

Makes more sense

in screens like this what items do I choose?

are atk and aspd buffs generally better?

[cosmic dagger]

Depends on team

Scope is nuts for operators like horn for example

[tidal sedge]

What about like idk sa

[cosmic dagger]

Generally I would take scope

[tidal sedge]

Scope goodl

[hollow forum]

check who you have and choose accordingly

if you lack range, then avenger is better

[cosmic dagger]

Aspd is generally better than atk, but it's also relatively rare

[tidal sedge]

ok yeah half my team is not very high range

go with avenger?

[hollow forum]

well, you said your team don't have a lot of range, so yeah

unless you think you can grab someone who can abuse scope down the line, then go gamble on that ig

otherwise, avenger

[proud drift]

Projekt red s1 is double blade

But it’s diagonal not vertical

[gentle finch]

ling S1

refreshing to not use her S3

[proud drift]

I also dunno if red is release op or not

I’d guess she is

@opal kiln wait I’m looking and

Isn’t it simple

Just look at the skills of ops near the icons in empty boxes

I noticed that there’s a pattern

It’s like each character’s skills are shown rather than some weird specific

Cuz u can see both eyja skills, warfarin skills also come one after another, chen as well

Etc.

Both firewatch skills too

[turbid badge]

mayers s2 does not look like that

[proud drift]

Well idk I see 2 of each operator skill

[turbid badge]

also thats sarias s2

lol

[proud drift]

Warfarin s1 should be next to warfarin s2

I’m 100% certain that’s the skill there

The empty box is the one that is in 2nd line 1st

Cuz the one in warfarin s1 spot

Looks like a guardian icon

I guess those without a unique s1 have only one skill shown

Such as earthspirit 2 and then the empty box before it

[lethal dragon]

Niań S1 is still the closest I find for top left

[proud drift]

Yes but it hs to be release op

Idk I cba searching on phone I need to get my 90min of sleep before work

[turbid badge]

idk its confusing yeah theres also power strike too

[gentle finch]

dude

this game wants to cuck me

I got shrouded in clouds with literally no medics of any sort

or self sustain

I never got a medic recruitment voucher

gonna whip out gavialter S1...

great, i leaked everything at the ending

[turbid badge]

damn i didnt even realize abjurers had 20 res

[gentle finch]

supporters vibin

[turbid badge]

its fun having ur dog fight

[gentle finch]

flame emoji

[tidal sedge]

Perfumer module is good but what does it do?

[main halo]

Increases Perf's talent

[tidal sedge]

so instead of like 10 hp per sec now goes to like 25 or sumn

[main halo]

Haven't used her for a while

[gentle finch]

something like that

on skill she gets even higher numbers

[turbid badge]

yeah its like 28 hos

hps offskill

And she heals 4 now

but thats usually irrelevant

[gentle finch]

lol

[main halo]

That's pretty much every AoE healers

[turbid badge]

nah

they only heal 3

[main halo]

I mean the module

[turbid badge]

the other aoe healer got + range modile

?

ng and ptilo

what breez eget

oh they also got + range

lol

[main halo]

Can't be bothered to E2 Breeze cuz she's garbage

[turbid badge]

yeah 4 healing is still unique to her

[dusky grove]

Breeze is garbage?

The average take in ako

People do be not knowing why breeze isn't used

[foggy grove]

if breeze is garbage what is perf lol

breeze fault is her cost

[opal kiln]

people just hear breeze isn't worth buying then immediately say ok so she's bad

[soft crystal]

Breeze hps output is better than perfumer on skill tbh

[opal kiln]

she also got the better module

[gentle finch]

she just a 5*

so automatically trash!

☹️

[tidal sedge]

Why is cutter s1 used more than s2

[opal kiln]

more damage

[tidal sedge]

how

Does it like hit all the knives

[turbid badge]

more st dps

s2 is a good mobbing aoe wave clear skill if theres alot of enies

enemies

[tidal sedge]

so if st it hits all knives on one target?

[turbid badge]

just read her s1

[tidal sedge]

ok

[turbid badge]

basically yeah

[tidal sedge]

Dear god

4x hit on EACH enemy or do the knives spread out

[surreal star]

4 hits total

each one hits a random enemy iirc

[tidal sedge]

oh ok

I get it now

So effectively she just does 6 star dps while being like half the cost

[surreal star]

well

not 6*

but it's good dps for sure

[gentle finch]

indeed

[turbid badge]

her dps is good yea

[soft crystal]

Its sorta true

Her average dps kinda high

[surreal star]

ig it depends on what 6* dps is

[gentle finch]

we talking

uh

thorns S1 dps

[surreal star]

iirc cutter average is higher than chen at mod3

but chen is made more for burst so makes sense

[tidal sedge]

I forgot arknights dps is a hell of a lot more confusing

[turbid badge]

cutter skill s1 against 0 defens

[tidal sedge]

But I'd say she does mid tier 6 star damage output

[surreal star]

ignore the 10k dps btw

that's misleading

2280 should be the correct one

[tidal sedge]

S2 is better for higher defense enemies right?

[gentle finch]

yeah i just checked cutter dps

more than Chen assuming 0 def

[tidal sedge]

since it has a higher damage ceiling

[turbid badge]

yeah 2280

[gentle finch]

on both S2 and S3 for chen

[surreal star]

try s1

[tidal sedge]

Cutter is prob the best 4 star guard imo

[surreal star]

yeah

[gentle finch]

how trustworthy is this shit

(WYSI)

[tidal sedge]

Homegirl is literally damaging out of what is supposed to be a decently weak rarity

[turbid badge]

what is that lol

what websitewhy is there headhunting above her xd

[gentle finch]

arkenemy

[tidal sedge]

Cutter 10k damage comes from all knives hitting one target with 0 def

[turbid badge]

ohh arkenemy

[tidal sedge]

So cutter is a good choice to m3 right

[gentle finch]

real

[tidal sedge]

real

[turbid badge]

ofc

cheap mats

[opal kiln]

very much not

[opal kiln]

lauli himself said there's a lot of stuff not working

[gentle finch]

lmao thought so

[tidal sedge]

S1 unfortunately is ass against like idk 1k def?

[gentle finch]

falls off around 750

still aight

[vital arrow]

Why are you using cutter for 1k def is the question

[turbid badge]

real

[tidal sedge]

S2

[gentle finch]

lmao

[tidal sedge]

turning her into tornado time

[vital arrow]

And let her deal scratch damage outside of S2

[tidal sedge]

It's not even good I just like the effect more

[vital arrow]

Ig she still deals at least 70 if you have module

[tidal sedge]

I am going to use cutter s2 against patriot

[turbid badge]

waow

[vital arrow]

Watch her get slapped by pat

[tidal sedge]

i prefer cutter s2, not cuz it's good but just because the effect looks cool

[vital arrow]

Cutter vs the last wendigo

[tidal sedge]

Cutter dies

canon rangers vs patriot

[turbid badge]

one horse swing will do more damage than 1 cutter tornado

[gentle finch]

I have

legit never deployed a cutter

[tidal sedge]

I do not have the horse man

I have the inferior cat man

[vital arrow]

Patriot who singlehandedly bitchslapped 3 emperor's blades

[turbid badge]

waow

[gentle finch]

warf irene to get revenge for cutter

[tidal sedge]

While he was fuckin dying

[gentle finch]

kill patriot

[tidal sedge]

+4X HIT

max buff Irene to delete patriot

[gentle finch]

one warf is enough

if she maxed

and gets all hitsin

P1 dies

[tidal sedge]

what about pp2

[gentle finch]

[opal kiln]

I like cutter

[tidal sedge]

Irene gets evaporated, get your horse uncle

[opal kiln]

but franka is more satisfying for me

4k dph

[tidal sedge]

fair point

Cutter out here outclassing half the five stars(doesn't say much)

[gentle finch]

real men just frd skadi in an AH comp until he dead

[tidal sedge]

Patriot is the coolest boss and then smart people got to him

Now he's dead and a test subject

[vital arrow]

Test subject?

[surreal star]

probably for showcases

or smth

[gentle finch]

lmao 2 skadi deployment kills first phase

[surreal star]

not in lore

[gentle finch]

:tf:

[soft crystal]

Viktor lab kinda bad at calculating chen mod3 downtime

So chen s3 should be higher

[tidal sedge]

patriot gets slammed, prime patriot slams

[surreal star]

[soft crystal]

Viktorlabs give chen s3 like 25 second down time

When in reality its closer to 20 seconds

[tidal sedge]

is horse?

[gentle finch]

@zealous cradle seems i was wrong about skadi and nearl

nearl actually better around ~730+ def

i said around 900 the other day

[zealous cradle]

you said 1k

[soft crystal]

yeah chen downtime should be 21 seconds not 25

[zealous cradle]

anyway nearl having shields is a lot more comfortable for helidrop

[soft crystal]

while viktor computes it at 25 seconds which makes her dps in there lower than actual

[zealous cradle]

cuz it means even if its stun immune shes not instantly getting bitch slapped

[gentle finch]

probs

sadly i got no nearl

skadi would be better for me due to abyssal comp anyway so

I'd be using nearl for her S3 then

if i had her

[zealous cradle]

also can someone help me with chocolate street

[gentle finch]

brah

you still didn't

[turbid badge]

wtf

i thought u did this like a week ago

[zealous cradle]

i have been trying it for the last hour

[turbid badge]

r u borrowing anyone

[gentle finch]

honestly i can't really help you

i did the stage but I didn't really do it

I just placed random shit and cleared it first try

[zealous cradle]

how are you clearing this actually using frd?

[gentle finch]

Huh

[zealous cradle]

like apparently warfarin just dies to the last wave even with mulberry on top of her

maybe i should have it on s1?

[gentle finch]

can you show me the squad you're using

[gentle finch]

hm

[turbid badge]

@zealous cradle

u can just borrow mlynar to make it easier for uself

[zealous cradle]

no

[turbid badge]

also mountain can slolo top

[zealous cradle]

i know that

its not top thats the problem here

[gentle finch]

i thought i could use practical plans for anni bruh

[turbid badge]

its the bazookas?

[gentle finch]

i was gonna do a test run

[surreal star]

just force quit

[turbid badge]

u could

Just wuit

[gentle finch]

21 sanity:

[zealous cradle]

yes

[surreal star]

mm

[zealous cradle]

i dont feel like fucking doing this right now because my head’s been hurting all day

[surreal star]

do it later then

[gentle finch]

ur using nearl to reclaim the gelato stops

?

[zealous cradle]

i use her as bait

gelato gets handled by gav2

[gentle finch]

bruh

that's the fanciest bait I've ever seen

[cyan gorge]

You're struggling with this?

[zealous cradle]

dude i dont fucking know why it doesnt work

[gentle finch]

just use gravel brother

[zealous cradle]

ive been trying for a month now

[gentle finch]

h+$+3+

man

[cyan gorge]

Horn S1M3 solos half the stage

[turbid badge]

dont let ur towers be red on 380

[zealous cradle]

they’re not

[cyan gorge]

or just Mountain, Thorns, Saria for mid

[zealous cradle]

they get turned red

[zealous cradle]

nothing is problematic until the last wave then it just shits itself even with thorns and saria

[turbid badge]

Cant u just use bait or something with taunt

[gentle finch]

just bait their ammo before they walk out to attack mid

and honestly i doubt you'd need good healing for 3/4 of the map so ptilo might be better for ending

just for the burst

[zealous cradle]

i feel like the problem is probably just warf s2 and not having good consistent heals

[turbid badge]

does ur chalter just explode

[gentle finch]

lmfao

[turbid badge]

you can bring more ground dps

[zealous cradle]

pretty much

[cyan gorge]

I brought this and was fine

[zealous cradle]

elemental damage moment

[gentle finch]

I just

brute forced with abyssals as usual

[turbid badge]

mlynar on this map

[zealous cradle]

i have literally none of those except gravel and mulberry

and lapp is e0

[cyan gorge]

the only important ones are Horn and Mulberry

[turbid badge]

i used horn here too lol

[cyan gorge]

Horn and Lapp decimated middle and Mud was on top

[gentle finch]

mud on top for me as well

u know the staircase to the left

i just had gladiia there

she baited everyone's bullets before they went mid

[zealous cradle]

so i just stick mudrock there and win

[gentle finch]

u can use mudrock there yeah

since mountain hold top just fine

u might want S3 for the invul at the ending since she may die, i have no idea if she would

i didn't really use gladiia for the damage

but usually i overthink shit, S2 might work normal

I used a sanity pot just so I could see the auto deploy squad

[zealous cradle]

i will actually shit myself if this doesnt work

[cyan gorge]

Why Ely all the way up there

[zealous cradle]

debuff towers so i get them faster

might as well make it easier

er

wait

[gentle finch]

l used the other tile

lol

the one right above staircase

surely it doesn't matter right?

:surely:

[zealous cradle]

i am the most intelligent person ever

uses elysium to debuff towers
has no defense to debuff

[gentle finch]

[zealous cradle]

this is why im failing precalculus

[vital arrow]

Mountain will die

He'll get slapped by like 2 trucks and dies of cringe

[livid delta]

Why are you failing precalc
It's just graphs

[vital arrow]

Also the midlane just dies one by one when chalter skill is off

[cyan gorge]

Even this much is overkill

I don't have Chalter, Pinecone subbing

[gentle finch]

truly the hardest part of this anni

[vital arrow]

I'm surprised the legatus didn't give you any problems

[gentle finch]

what's that

[tidal sedge]

Vigna good?

[vital arrow]

The miniboss

[foggy grove]

disarm guy?

[vital arrow]

Ye

[gentle finch]

oh

[foggy grove]

he almost killed my saria

[tidal sedge]

why is vigna good

[gentle finch]

i can't remember what i did really

[tidal sedge]

just absolute unit damage?

[vital arrow]

Big pp atk stat

[gentle finch]

↑

[scarlet fulcrum]

Mud camp the legiatus

[gentle finch]

• crit chance on talent to back it up

[tidal sedge]

Should I e2 her because I lack bagpipe?

[foggy grove]

yeah mud canw aste away all his ammo

[vital arrow]

E1 is enough but if you like her, sure

[foggy grove]

[gentle finch]

rejoice

[vital arrow]

Oh didn't see mud there

[tidal sedge]

ok thanks wont e2 her

[gentle finch]

i am smart

[zealous cradle]

he can hold it its just that apparently if he doesnt get crit rng he leaks

learnt the hard way

[turbid badge]

mud punching bad

[zealous cradle]

god i want to rip my brain out

[vital arrow]

I just funneled everything mid then sweep with horn and mizuki

Mizuki s1m3 gaming

[gentle finch]

😭

oh mart

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah mizuki can carry this anni with mod

[zealous cradle]

it was going fine

until

[gentle finch]

it is worth mentioning i did kill some mobs with gladiia

with her S2

[zealous cradle]

he decided to not crit for half a minute straight

[gentle finch]

she reaches mid from that one tile

doubt it's important though

[vital arrow]

This anni drains my battery so I won't run it manually again

[zealous cradle]

jesus it does

[cyan gorge]

what kill number did you lose at?

[gentle finch]

bro is relying on rng

[zealous cradle]

its not even a number he can just leak if theres bad rng

like really atrocious

but possible

[gentle finch]

🗿

[zealous cradle]

also i forgot theres a artillery from the bottom lane so mulberry just got shat on

whee

[cyan gorge]

that's why I place her in the back

[zealous cradle]

sooo much funnn

[cyan gorge]

she covers the entire middle lane

[zealous cradle]

i dont use her for middle

they just die before they get to hit anyone with ammo

its either medics take ammo or the stops

[cyan gorge]

that means you're placing them too far forward

[turbid badge]

waow

i used mizuki too lul

[gentle finch]

I'll check my auto soon

[zealous cradle]

that didnt do anything when i tried it if anything it went worse

[gentle finch]

i see everyone has their comp high up

mine was closer to blue box

[turbid badge]

mfw everyone exploded but mizuki dodged everything

[gentle finch]

is that ros

[turbid badge]

yeh

[gentle finch]

based

[turbid badge]

somehow her s3 aoe hits the towers

lol

wierd experience

[gentle finch]

ok time to watch my auto deploy

[zealous cradle]

its not surprising considering that splash casters work on it

[gentle finch]

see what i did

if i just close the game i don't lose sanity right

before the run ends

[turbid badge]

wow smart

[gentle finch]

I'm asking

🗿

[turbid badge]

yea

[cyan gorge]

0 issues so far

[gentle finch]

cool

[turbid badge]

have u not done it before

xd

[cyan gorge]

This is just assuming Horn borrow

[turbid badge]

wow nice chalter holding up

[gentle finch]

nope

pinecone > chalter

seems like fiammetta carried my ass for this run

[vital arrow]

The GA banner op is good in GA stage

Surprised pikachu face

But she's actually so comfy here

[gentle finch]

oh

goldenglow abuse too

[vital arrow]

GG is kinda eh here

She targets the toy cars like

[gentle finch]

the cars aren't a problem for me

I'll see

[zealous cradle]

try targeting deez nuts instead

[gentle finch]

continue watching it

gg targeting top lane mobs all the time which is good

[cyan gorge]

Now I remember why I had Lapp and not Thorns

[gentle finch]

interesting

actually used dusk koew than i thought

more*

[cyan gorge]

It's a bit harder without Fia abuse

cause she killed the cars in one shot

[gentle finch]

S3?

[cyan gorge]

yes

[turbid badge]

yea

s3 op

[gentle finch]

I used S2

[turbid badge]

big range

covers 2 gelato sstops

[gentle finch]

lmao my thorns died

[turbid badge]

and is safe from enemy bombartment

[gentle finch]

in the auto-deploy

[cyan gorge]

I remembered I also had Cantabile for tower duty

[gentle finch]

unstable auto

it failed lmao

thankfully the skip tickets don't care about that

so i won't fix

this was my comp for the entire run though

dusk deployed randomly

idk what i was doing

was first attempt

[cyan gorge]

EZ mode activated

[latent anvil]

mart struggling on this anni?

[soft crystal]

Mizuki s1 real funny for this anni

[near folio]

Victoriaknights

I'll save Phantom's spot for Stainless

[turbid badge]

smh no Saileach

[proud drift]

Do sarkaz count as victoria

Or is kazdel not victoria

[elder flume]

101 deploy limit soon ?

[tidal sedge]

I wonder what a Rhodes Island Knights would be like

Core would be Rosmontis, Kalsit, Amiya, Ceobe and a bunch of the special and reserve ops 3-4 stars prob

[proud drift]

Blaze

Greythroat

Nearl

Can even be NTR too

Off the top of my head at least

[tidal sedge]

Oh yea blaze

[proud drift]

But technically every playable character is part of rhodes islands knights

[tidal sedge]

I wouldn’t put Nearl cause she’s already in the kazimeirz one

But she’s a part of it too

[proud drift]

She’s a rhodes island operator

She appears even in anime

She was exiled from kazimierz and joined RI

[tidal sedge]

Ik I just wouldn’t put her in cause she’s more kazi to me

Kinda how Exu and Texas are logistics

Or like how Nian kinda joined RI but I wouldn’t put her in either

[proud drift]

That sounds like handicapping yourself due to some weird semantics

[tidal sedge]

I mean finding a niche would be a little less interesting if you just slap 6 stars in again

[proud drift]

It’s like saying you won’t put fiammetta or archetto as birdknights because they’re lateranoknights

[tidal sedge]

No this case only works for RI

RI is huge almost everyone joins

[proud drift]

Yeah

Every 3* is a RI operator

4*s unsure if all or not

[storm current]

False

Plume is laterano

[proud drift]

I mean that’s again saying that nearl isn’t RI cuz she’s kazi

Even tho nearl is a pretty core member of RI

At least throughout the story

[storm current]

Nearl is one of the story main character ye

[tidal sedge]

Nono I’m not saying she’s not RI, she’s in Kazi so I’m putting her there

Cause RI already has so much

Is Angelina RI, idk her story

I feel like I’m missing one more core RI after blaze

[proud drift]

Bagpipe is a RI member

[tidal sedge]

Ik Chen and Hoshi are in a branch of theirs

[proud drift]

In ch9-10

[tidal sedge]

I wanna add bagpipe too

Isn’t she in a faction called Victoria or something

[proud drift]

Victoria is a country

Like UK

[tidal sedge]

Kazimierz is not a country? I’m dumb

LMAO

[proud drift]

Kazi is too

Kazi is basically poland

[tidal sedge]

oh

[proud drift]

Victoria is UK

[tidal sedge]

Is the lion RI

Siege

[proud drift]

She’s victoria yes

Oh

Yes she’s Ri

Elite op

[tidal sedge]

Who are the elites?

I’m guessing Chen and Hoshi aren’t part of it

[proud drift]

Oh nvm mb

Siege isn’t elite

[tidal sedge]

Never heard of the other 4 that aren’t Ros and Blaze LMAO

[proud drift]

SSS/IS units

[tidal sedge]

Oh I know them then

Ok ok so let’s say RI knights would be

[proud drift]

If you don’t wanna use NTR

Use nearl then

More lore accurate anyways

Meteorite is a RI member

Frostleaf meteorite jessica trio from chernobog

[tidal sedge]

Rosmontis, Blaze, Amiya, Kalsit, Ceobe, Nearl, Liskarm, I forgot the other 5 star (Meteor?), Frostleaf

[proud drift]

Isn’t liskarm blacksteel

[tidal sedge]

Oh yea you’re right

[proud drift]

And I remember Franka being with Liskarm

No mommy wife

[tidal sedge]

Right it’s franka

Her art is so off

[proud drift]

Gravel is RI

[tidal sedge]

Maybe I’ll build Penguin Logistic Knights and friends

[proud drift]

You can use gravel

[tidal sedge]

Exu, Texas, Sora, that one defender I never remember, Fiametta, Mostima, Lappland

Is sora a healer

[proud drift]

Uhh

Fia mostima are part of them?

Isn’t fia mostima laterano strictly

[tidal sedge]

Not a part they just know Exu

Logistics is too small to just use those 3 you know

[proud drift]

Sora is like

Very budget skalter

[tidal sedge]

Ah I see

[proud drift]

Oh right

RI has skadi

But not skalter, skadi specifically

[tidal sedge]

THATS WHO I WAS MISSING

RI knights is too hard to pick, dropping it

[proud drift]

Though idk if spectre was part of RI or just being healed cuz skadi’s wife

[tidal sedge]

She’s skadi’s wife?

[proud drift]

No not actually

[tidal sedge]

[proud drift]

Just me being silly

Cuz they’re as close as wives

[tidal sedge]

Ik what you meant

But didn’t know they were that close

[proud drift]

Well more sisters ig

[limpid siren]

base Nearl is part of the Followers though, not RI faction

[proud drift]

Yea but followers joined RI

Oh right that means shining nightingale too

They’re technically RI too

They joined RI as followers afaik

[tidal sedge]

Aren’t they from Kazi

[limpid siren]

huge cope

[proud drift]

No they’re sarkaz

[tidal sedge]

They look very kazi

Oh I see

[proud drift]

Shining was a confessarius

[proud drift]

Well

[tidal sedge]

They look very close too, Shinning and NG

[proud drift]

Wiki says they’re part of RI

In fact Followers was FOUNDED by RI

They weren’t followers before

It’s just their team got called that by kaltsit

At least wiki lore says that

[tidal sedge]

Is shinning canonically crippled?

[limpid siren]

https://gamepress.gg/arknights/taxonomy/term/146

[proud drift]

Nightingale is

[limpid siren]

tbh

[proud drift]

Shining isn’t

[tidal sedge]

I meant NG mb

[limpid siren]

i wouldn't fuck with fandom wiki

if that's where you're getting the info from

the team that runs that site is off their marbles

[proud drift]

[tidal sedge]

Can’t anyone edit it as well?

[proud drift]

Idk where to read followers story ingame

[limpid siren]

that's not really the issue

[proud drift]

So I read it recently there

Cuz I was curious about shining lore

[tidal sedge]

Shinning looks strong, idk why she’s a Healer

[proud drift]

She was a confessarius yes

She literally deflected 4 monique shots in NL story

[foggy grove]

shining alter cope

[limpid siren]

doesn't feel wild to expect she'll get a glow up sometime soon

[proud drift]

Without unsheathing her blade

[tidal sedge]

[proud drift]

Confessarius are gonna be the big bad guys we fight in ch11-12

I think at least

They’re part of the big bad at least

Since they probably rezzed theresa

[dense gazelle]

guys do you have any suggestions on what units should I bring generally to progress on my current rosters?

[proud drift]

At least confessarius cult are the only ones capable of resurrecting

[tidal sedge]

Close to the finale of this arc shinning comes to save the day with Seige, we get Shinning and siege alter

I’m coping

[tidal sedge]

Exu and Lappland, you’re raising the rights ones so far

[dense gazelle]

tho I do believe that I raised some that I don't need,

[proud drift]

No most are fine actually

[tidal sedge]

What does your current squad look like?

[proud drift]

Jessica isn’t needed

Since u have exu

Raise kroos

Cheap and very very good

Don’t raise earthspirit

[tidal sedge]

Yea earth spirit is weird

[dense gazelle]

squad looks like this tho

[tidal sedge]

Drop Jessica

[proud drift]

Drop jessica get steward

Raise kroos

Drop earthspirit uhhh

Get melantha or gravel maybe

[tidal sedge]

I’d go with Gravel

[proud drift]

Gravel doesn’t need much investment to be very useful

Steward and Kroos are extremely good for what they are

And very cheap

[elder flume]

welp this is problematic
that bully i tested on was with saria bug

[proud drift]

Also keep in mind one thing

Don’t raise too many 5* if you get more

5* are ironically one of the worst investments in the game

Cause almost every 5* is a niche

[tidal sedge]

Yea, they’re in this weird middle ground

When it comes to how worth they are

[proud drift]

But the ones you raised are all good

[tidal sedge]

For their power

[dense gazelle]

I also notice that the higher the stars the higher the deployment cost

[tidal sedge]

Yes

[proud drift]

Yes and no

[tidal sedge]

That’s normal

[proud drift]

Class archetype also impacts

[tidal sedge]

A 6 star protector defender will be more expensive than a 5 or 4 one but a 6 star specialist could be cheaper than the 5 or 4 star defender

Class matters

[dense gazelle]

I see

[limpid siren]

real and true

[tidal sedge]

@dense gazelle units with high costs are usually Enmity operators, AOE casters, and a sniper class I can’t seem to remember the name of

[dense gazelle]

so something like this?

[tidal sedge]

@proud drift what’s fiametta’s class?

[tidal sedge]

Very good

[dense gazelle]

enmity i see

[sonic willow]

Replace either kroos or platinum with a healing defender (spot)

[turbid badge]

mfw 5 stars become archetype guinea pigs after hypergryph invented flag bearers

[turbid badge]

Artilleryman, Juggernauts

Splash Caster, Blast Caster, Chain Caster

Duelist Defender

Broomstick

[tidal sedge]

Right Artilleryman is the sniper class I was thinking of

[dense gazelle]

a healing defender? what's that tho

[turbid badge]

guardian

[tidal sedge]

A defender that heals

[turbid badge]

Like spot

[tidal sedge]

Spot, gummy, saria

[turbid badge]

Gummy nearl saria blemishine

[dense gazelle]

ohh

[sonic willow]

I recommend spot for early game

Must E1 for base, very cheap too

[tidal sedge]

@dense gazelle I’d drop platinum if you’re adding spot, kroos is nice and cheap to build

Unless you like platinum

[dense gazelle]

I can drop her

[turbid badge]

tbf platinum range increase can help in anni 2 &3

but yeah you dont really need 3 marksmen rn

so just stick with one

two*

[dense gazelle]

got it 2 is enough for now

[proud drift]

Oh right I forgor exu is there

[tidal sedge]

I really do hope it’s a Saria alter for anni

[dense gazelle]

btw if the stage for creds is close, is the only option to farm creds are on stages?

[storm current]

You can try the monthly squad in IS if you need chip catalyst

[dense gazelle]

where is this

[storm current]

Main content => 2nd right most tab

Integrated strategy

[dense gazelle]

ah wait its still lock lol imma progress

[proud drift]

Creds you mean the red tickets?

Those stages are the only way to farm them yeah

[dense gazelle]

no no the LMD the blue one

is it called LMD i forgot

right lmd

[proud drift]

Ah, no, usually it’s not really worth farming them there

[dense gazelle]

at my current stage since I change my units, I can only farm here

[proud drift]

Especially not in story stages

[dense gazelle]

oohh

[proud drift]

Events generally give a lot

Soon we will have a new story chapter so you have a few dead weeks basically, i guess if you need credits you can farm the ones that are locked behind days

But

Generally people get LMD from base

And events

Especially big events

In like 3-4 weeks we will have an event that will have 700k lmd in store

Bigger events have that amount

And a lot of other very nice goodies

Well, not will, but should have

Maybe another oopsie from en devs

[turbid badge]

plz dont farm on s2-2

[proud drift]

This event also has 100k lmd cuz rerun

[turbid badge]

just do the event or build up ur base

[dense gazelle]

the event is this one right?

[proud drift]

Yes

Most events are very good and very worth to farm

This one also has extremely good story

But you won’t be able to clear most of it sadly

[dense gazelle]

oh well

[storm current]

Try to clear stages to buy the stuff from shop at least

Very valuable and high efficiency

[glass monolith]

Starting in NL is like... Facing lore accurate Roy

[proud drift]

NL is gonna make me commit the cardinal sin of doing sidestory mid-event

Cause I really wanna read all of MN now

[glass monolith]

don't forget PS mini event in between to follow who the fuck is flatinum

[lethal dragon]

Read on website

https://akgcc.github.io/cc/story.html#side&act13d5&0

[proud drift]

No I will do it in-game

[lethal dragon]

In game sucks

[proud drift]

It’s also broken on phone at least for me, the website

[proud drift]

Also you suck ingame

[glass monolith]

Damn, got 5 star combo recruit.... Pot for operators i don't use... Or 10th Mayer for gold certs

[scarlet ledge]

pro

[proud drift]

Hi basketball

[storm current]

@glass monolith mayer certs

You want to accumulate any roll with upcoming shop/banner

[haughty oracle]

anyone got a good team comp im on ep 6-11 rn

[lethal dragon]

I suck you

[proud drift]

Define good teamcomp

My team involved like 10 6* at the time I cleared that stage

What would your options be

[lethal dragon]

6-11 is ugh

[haughty oracle]

does an all rounder exist

[glass monolith]

If it has Goldenglow Ambriel Sora sniper next it is good for me

[proud drift]

There isn’t really an allrounder team

Arknights requires flexibility and adaptation

[haughty oracle]

idk man im kinda just looking for something thats decent

[glass monolith]

No matter how big bullshit we come up with, map designer come up with bigger bullshit

[proud drift]

Oh 6-11 is that funny

Lappdumb is very nice for ch6

[haughty oracle]

silence enemy

[proud drift]

She makes spiders not boom

[storm current]

She goes beyond that

Like frozen anni is ass without silence

Or SN being perma now

[proud drift]

Overall pretty good unit

[scarlet ledge]

wtf loli is on strat

[north nexus]

What's full zone in sss

Can't deploy anything rn. Even to stack for buffs

[proud drift]

Wdym..?

SSS has lower deployment limit

If that’s what you mean

[vital arrow]

You drop ops on top of another op to stack

They have lower deployment limit for obvious reasons

[north nexus]

Not above the limit but I can't deploy anything

[vital arrow]

Heat cluster

Deploy the crystal

It's the boss gimmick

You can't deploy anything until you kill the crystal

[proud drift]

Zone is also actually full

[north nexus]

Oh alright

[proud drift]

So you can’t draw

[vital arrow]

This is an old map though

First time facing the boss?

[north nexus]

I've been ignoring SSS for a long time so yeah

[vital arrow]

This is like the literal first map

[proud drift]

shit gamemode so good decision for mental health anyways

[vital arrow]

[north nexus]

Should I have played the others? Just started it cos I haven't finished it once

[vital arrow]

You probably played the other one

This is the easiest one actually

Toron and glebe are more punishing to certain comps

[elder flume]

mapark sort of breaks on this map huh

[proud drift]

Is that… a map where rosmontis has all tiles open for s3

[vital arrow]

Huh what map is that

[livid delta]

Is that the monster hunter map but upside down lol

[vital arrow]

CF EX 8

Oh chasing fire

[livid delta]

Oh wait it is the monster hunter map

But it isn't upside down

[elder flume]

oh rocks are 95% dr ?

i thought theyre 80%

[vernal lion]

it's funny that you can see the dragon tail which you have cut it off

[vital arrow]

Loot it

[vernal lion]

iirc if you cut its tail, you will receive more rewards

[limpid siren]

good collab

capturing the spirit of mh

[vital arrow]

Yeah including loot rng

[limpid siren]

i'm actually happy about that fact

they committed

[glass monolith]

Even being murdered by boss in 2 hits

[tidal sedge]

For the love of holy hell how do I make my ops NOT FUCKIH FALL DOWN AND DIE

[somber falcon]

50% atk buff do be like that

[supple mountain]

just use ling

[proud drift]

The kevins

Have very ouchium amounts of damage

when heralded

[sly pivot]

borrow horn frfr

[sly pivot]

only horn and eyja is e2

[foggy grove]

he succumbed to ling borrow

[tidal sedge]

Stop being good at the game

[sly pivot]

it comes with experience

[tidal sedge]

Man why must I be bad at this game

I was getting carried hard with eyja and sa

[elder flume]

Buoyant podenco

[sly pivot]

wtf

[sly pivot]

just practice

if u learn how to abuse those two to its fullest

it will be easy asf

[scarlet ledge]

kahnt pro

teach me to pot 6 sa

[sly pivot]

i wouldnt know because i dont have p6 sa

[scarlet ledge]

[tidal sedge]

what the fuck is a potential

[sly pivot]

u get copies of a unit

u can use those copies to enhance the unit

[tidal sedge]

no I mean 6 star pots exist?????

[sly pivot]

well all rarities have pots

[tidal sedge]

(Satire I'm just really malding here)

[sly pivot]

lol

[tidal sedge]

how do I abuse my m1 eyja and sa

what could a man who plays for 1 month do with these two

[sly pivot]

for sa u cudve used him in this map to start

just schwing the first waves

so u dont have to deal with anything

and save ur dp for other stuff

[somber falcon]

or just use s2 to tank mortars

[sly pivot]

sa isnt just for wiping bosses

he can be used to clear waves of trash

eyja too

but after thier skill duration is over u retreat

because its faster

sa got a rdp- talent doesnt he?

he will rdp faster than his 120 sp cost

[tidal sedge]

kinda

[supple mountain]

yeah

it's -10%

[tidal sedge]

so just place sa, use him, replace, go home?

[sly pivot]

yea

so usually u can just

sa

retreat

eyja

retreat

sa

[supple mountain]

p2 sa is -4 sec rdp

[sly pivot]

that shud destroy most waves

[supple mountain]

[tidal sedge]

and just keep my defenders alive

[sly pivot]

ofc theres downtime between them

but u have ur other units

its not a perfect cycle

[foggy grove]

low mastery eyja can stay on the field

she charge faster

[tidal sedge]

oh ok

[sly pivot]

also just borrow some cool shit too if u can

like mlynar

[proud drift]

Maleknights shill

[sly pivot]

is it really shill if he vaporises everything thing in a 28/42 cycle

[proud drift]

Well

Tbh I find it silly

Blue woman bad

But golden man good

Cuz blue woman with funny dogs can solo that stage, can it not?

[tidal sedge]

I wasn't able to pull mlynar and I lost the 50 50 to mlynar and got a dupe💀

[sly pivot]

life doesnt go ur way

😔

[proud drift]

It’s ok those who got mlynar like me

Won’t get sexas or penance

[sly pivot]

what ppl hate abt ling is just the boring gameplay she brings

[foggy grove]

i went 100+ for only one copy

[proud drift]

What about chalter

And isn’t mlynar also kinda just

[tidal sedge]

I hate ling for that reason

[proud drift]

The same gameplay

Press schwing
