11-19 fix squad, 11-20 fix boss face, 11-21 post chapter lore

[latent anvil]

Done

[wild solar]

having trouble on 11-12, just need to counter those global range artillery cannons

[frigid kite]

Any caster will do, Ebenholz great for that

[wild solar]

gotcha

thanks

[glass monolith]

FUCK MY LIFE

YOU STILL BLOCK BOSS WHEN HE LEAVES TO GET YOUR XMAS GIFT

[glass monolith]

Ptilo and Heavy camoed boss attack, but either his skill disables camo or you still considered blocking

I will try once more to see which one

[turbid badge]

is that e2

Stainless

[tidal sedge]

Shaw

The 6★︎ operator available in the Sparks and Bearings banner is Stainless.

How good is Stainless?

Stainless is an Artificer Supporter, a melee branch that uses devices to provide various utility.

His first talent, Battlefield Engineer, allows him to carry 3 devices (of which 2 can be deployed at a time).

His second talent, Cost-saving Measures, gives a 70% (80% @ E2 Pot 5) chance to recover destroyed devices from the 8 surrounding tiles.

Values shown at M3. All skills are per-second recovery, manual activation.

Skill 1 : Extreme Firepower - Passive: Devices grant +12% ATK to equipped unit.
Active: Gain 1 device. Attack increases to 200% ATK. Device effect 4x (+48%).
When skill ends, destroys all devices on the field.
45 SP (20 initial), 20 sec duration

Either requires redeployment or effectively has a fair tile restriction due to the need to recover at least one device in order to match Warfarin's cycle for a comparable buff.

Skill 2 : Efficient Resupply - Passive: Device grants 1 SP every 3.5 sec to equipped unit and loses 0.4% HP/sec [live for 250 sec].
Active: ATK & DEF +60%, Attack targets equal to Block; Device grants 1 SP every 2 sec, however HP loss is doubled.
When skill ends, gain 1 device.
50 SP (25 Initial), 30 sec duration

Grants a lot of SP over the duration, and is the most generally applicable SP battery, but due to the maximum number of deployed devices can only help one or two operators at a time.

Skill 3 : Prototype of Feist's Metal Crab - Passive: Device can be attacked by allies but takes no damage.
Device skill: Lose 2.5% Max HP and deal 300% ATK to enemy; enemies in 1.1 tile radius receive 150% ATK.
Active: Gain 1 Device. +55% ATK, +55 ASPD.
35 SP (20 initial), 30 sec duration

Useful for charging offensive-recovery skills and for Agent DP generation, which ends up as a viable alternative to Bagpipe + Flagbearers.
_ _
His first base skill, Hearts Joined Together (E0) reduces 4 morale elite mat recipe costs by -1 for every 10 units in the Dorm with 12 or less mood. [-2 max]
His second skill is Working As One (E2): when producing elite mats, +5% byproduct rate for every unit in the Dorm with 12 or less mood. [+100% max]

Should you roll for him?
Worth considering. Stainless offers a variety of useful utilities in a way no other operator does, but none of them are groundbreaking enough to warrant a priority. Consider your roster and budget before deciding.

Oh no 11-15 is one of the harder stages for farming

How much is the difference between 3 and 15

Both have salt

[turbid badge]

Omg

[glass monolith]

I was told 3 is farm stage, WAS I FUCKING PLAYED?

[turbid badge]

treee monster

[winged walrus]

Yeah... I got it stable, but the end becomes a bit memey. Would love to reduce the number of ops, but realistically I needed everyone outside Elysium and Mudrock.

[lethal dragon]

Just farm 11-3@winged walrus

It's same

I just checked

[winged walrus]

Oh ffs... REALLY?

[lethal dragon]

[lethal dragon]

Love these maps

[turbid badge]

oh right i need to farm paper for texas

It's a pretty annoying map

[glass monolith]

brb

[turbid badge]

MF

[latent anvil]

When h stages im bored now

[glass monolith]

Next week

[tawny solar]

How to 5-3

[latent anvil]

is that dog rush

[tawny solar]

It’s the one with like

[latent anvil]

i go look

[glass monolith]

Kill enemies outside of blue box

[tawny solar]

And then there’s casters and stuff that already spawned in

[glass monolith]

Neb has worthy opponent

It is preplaced 4 casters map

[tawny solar]

Who’s neb

[latent anvil]

i think you want to spawncamp mid and slowly pick off the preplaced casters

[turbid badge]

i will e2 spalter and gavialter!!

[tawny solar]

so i basically just

Uh

Uh

Hold on

[dapper meadow]

sometimes i forget how fun Lee S3 is

[turbid badge]

damn lee skin

[tawny solar]

Borrow an executor that’s not gravel to deal with the casters

[latent anvil]

sandwich mid bot

[dapper meadow]

i like him, what can i say

[tawny solar]

And put down some guards to take care of the spawns

[tawny solar]

ok

[turbid badge]

which pozy module do u guys use

oh wait

oh she doesnt have redeploy module yet

[glass monolith]

I love S2 but not to that degree

[latent anvil]

[turbid badge]

holy crap

those are some tough necrosis

[latent anvil]

you like the tree

[turbid badge]

oh

im dumb

the longer its on field the stronger yeah

if u kill its tree it gets weaker

[latent anvil]

well i didnt know that part but that also makes sense

[glass monolith]

Kill it as first enemy and have Kroos 3 hit it

[latent anvil]

no wonder the last trees hurt so much

[turbid badge]

if it works it works smh

[glass monolith]

It scales to miniature mudrock colossus

[turbid badge]

mizuki carrying

[latent anvil]

[cosmic dagger]

iris

[latent anvil]

[glass monolith]

It is Indigo but instead of root you sleep

and then you explode

[vernal lion]

murdering, but with extra steps...

[turbid badge]

i use iris s1 more

i would use sleep but its kind of lacking masteries

[glass monolith]

But don't their S1 do no damage unless you mastery it as well?

[turbid badge]

i just use her s1 to charge stored

[vernal lion]

what a mess

[turbid badge]

smh 11-9 adverse

conditions

[copper plover]

Yo someone please help, I'm stuck on this god forsaken level

Any strats for 11-20??

[frigid kite]

Team?

[glossy wolf]

[copper plover]

I'm send it wait

[glossy wolf]

[copper plover]

My team

[frigid kite]

Aak mlynar to hit the boss

[glossy wolf]

[frigid kite]

I recommend ya to borrow a Nightingale

[glossy wolf]

saria would die wouldn't she?

[copper plover]

Is ptlo not enough??

[glossy wolf]

you need more than 1 medic than ptlo

susuro should do

[copper plover]

K

So what do i do for the stage

[frigid kite]

And Nightingale gives res

[glossy wolf]

borrow a hoshiguma to tank him.

[frigid kite]

Which counters every mf on that stage

Except the big hit

[glossy wolf]

ptlo + saria you're fine tanking the bullet hits

[turbid badge]

yea

[glossy wolf]

as long as saria's not tanking the steam knight

[copper plover]

How should I deal with those cannons?

[glossy wolf]

hoshiguma can tank

casters

eyja you don't have. amiya then

might be painful

[copper plover]

Yeah every attempt I got annihilated by them and the boss

[glossy wolf]

alt gavail at 12

s2 pto what mastery

m3?

[copper plover]

M2

[glossy wolf]

saria as well

s1 master 2 or 3

[copper plover]

Saria M1

:/

[glossy wolf]

i'll try using a similar roster

[copper plover]

K thx

I'll try borrowing nightingale. I'll tell you how it goes

[glossy wolf]

gavail s2 master what

[copper plover]

M1

[glass monolith]

Not sending boss to afterlife sooner than you like, classic bullshit of boss design which can't be instantly oneshot on red box

[frigid kite]

I mean

You can do some funny with Ifrit + the buff Gang + useless ebenholz

[glass monolith]

I had my sort of fun #cn-lounge message

huh, those links now transform into something readable

[frigid kite]

Snake got sacrificed

[glass monolith]

She died to fuel science machine

And my CC7 PTSD

When Free with shield was still being blocked leading to same Snake dying

[analog zodiac]

I underestimated him a bit I thought he would be meh at level 1 lol

carried me so hard

[turbid badge]

real

[glass monolith]

Building a sentry

[frigid kite]

That stage

Is good for farming?

[glass monolith]

AP-5

[frigid kite]

💀

The auto could be funny

[scarlet fulcrum]

In which part he carried hard in that pic

[analog zodiac]

all of it

i had thorns/spectral just aiming at the turrets

[scarlet fulcrum]

Carried hard

[turbid badge]

more like exu carried the turret

[analog zodiac]

does anyone know if skalter makes his turrets stronger???

[turbid badge]

[turbid badge]

cant u just try rn

[scarlet fulcrum]

Let them inhale a bit

[analog zodiac]

tbh i cant tell if buffing him buffs the turrets or if she directly buffs the turrets which i doubt

[narrow hull]

Any tips for 11-8 adv

[analog zodiac]

My exu is finally getting use after like a year

mmm nope doesnt look like Skalter does anything for the turrets

[turbid badge]

ah makes sense than

[analog zodiac]

Aak shenanigans might be better for more turret abuse

[turbid badge]

theyre not coded as allies

[glass monolith]

Turret attack still based from stainless stat

[analog zodiac]

Ah so just give skadi buff to Stain

makes sense

Its fun having a different playstyle than usual

[turbid badge]

Uhh no

U cant boost the turrets damage with warfraining him or Skalter

[analog zodiac]

Is it just something that increases with his level and thats it?

[turbid badge]

yea

its static

[analog zodiac]

Okay well that weirdly makes my life easier

I can focus Skalter on Ops who need it more

[turbid badge]

[analog zodiac]

I think if the turrets scaled the way I thought he'd be entirely too broken

He's already good with fast atk spd chars like Exu/Thorns/Spectral/ that one deer chick from later on

ty for the confirmation!! i want to use him right lol

[turbid badge]

mhm

my favorite stainless s3 activator is angelina s2

[analog zodiac]

w8-

i didnt consider that

omg daughter Angelina can go back on the team

what the heck-

that works really well with Angelina S2 LMAO

THANK YOU???

[opal kiln]

the turret damage scales with stainless atk

idk where all this confusion is from

well in CN it says "of stainless' atk" but here it just says 260% atk

[turbid badge]

oh

wtf

[frigid kite]

What do you have

You can kill the trees early so those don't give problems to you later

Also something that deals AoE or Thorns, he kills the soldiers going in a straight line

[glass monolith]

Elysium def debuff, Stainless S3 active, Warf S2 on Stainless, Exu S3 attacking turret

There is no Skalter if i recall right

[frigid kite]

Exu bullets skin

[glass monolith]

[turbid badge]

npnp, but yeah apparently turrets damage does scale off of stainless , itjust doesnt show up

[quartz pendant]

Alright, with help tearing each other apart, I'll ask you guys instead

Is Main Two a better alternative to clearing the story overall, or do I stick to Main but change a few ops?

[turbid badge]

why is there a 2 lvl

1

[latent anvil]

Go main 2

[quartz pendant]

Cause i was looking at ops and thought of which ones to grow for a second team

[latent anvil]

Wait no go main 1

[gentle finch]

why is saria on S3

[latent anvil]

Insane arts dps increase

[gentle finch]

i need to mod3 M3 my Mizuki

[quartz pendant]

So she and mudrock can do the funny big aoe slow down

Am I doing Saria wrong

[gentle finch]

well...

[gleaming lodge]

respectfully, you possess blue woman and orange horse
just AoE your way through

[scarlet ledge]

stacked

etf

[gleaming lodge]

Saria has two good skills
S1 allows her and one or two other tank to stay alive under heavy (and regular) fire
S3 is a utility DPS-oriented skill that massively boosts arts damage taken by enemies, and heals everyone by a lot
so in general you want her on S1, as she practically cannot die, and use S3 when facing big elite waves

[glass monolith]

You literally should win by just throwing meta at enemy at this point

[scarlet ledge]

s2 dont exist

good

[narrow hull]

Ok

Thanks

[glass monolith]

damn, normal difficulty DoT piss do so much damage my Sora outheal it

[scarlet ledge]

elo minsu

[quartz pendant]

I don't even know when I would know who would be elite enemies wave

[turbid badge]

wtf dont

Why’s

[gentle finch]

blah blah mod2

i feel weird if not mod3

either mod1 or mod3

[turbid badge]

oh

the increase isnt too significant for me to justify spending 120k lmd

maybe when im ultra rich again

instant skalter

[gentle finch]

been clearing the ch11 stages with a normal squad

time to finish them off with abyssals

i haven't used a normal squad in a while so it was nice

[gentle finch]

understandable

I like mizuki a lot so I'd do it

[glass monolith]

I fear nothing, but that thing
Dog taking 0 damage from S2 Ambriel under skalter
It scares me

[crimson cedar]

is aak useful at all outside of rlly niche scenarios?

[storm current]

Eh

[turbid badge]

if u have mlynar or surtr on team you can just deploy to buff them but yeah theres no reason to really use aak in modt teams

[storm current]

You can buff strong unit

[crimson cedar]

i dont have either rip

[storm current]

Which he is the best cuz of aspd boost

Or horn

[crimson cedar]

dont have horn either

F

[storm current]

I think gavialt prob work too

[crimson cedar]

dont have that either 😂

all my 6*s can fit on one page

sadge

[gentle finch]

hm

[gentle finch]

skadi can't tank a tree guy off skill

if all enemies are dead

i kinda just ignored them

[crimson cedar]

havent built shining or aak rlly cus theyre just

[inner garden]

i can get 1m lmd before texalt if i get liek 55k a day right

[crimson cedar]

so niche

[inner garden]

understandable

[crimson cedar]

i mean ig dorothy is niche too

[inner garden]

i feel like if anyone on that page got buffed by aak theyd get killed

[crimson cedar]

but i feel like theres more situations where i could use her than aak

ye i can see specter or hoshi surviving but like

[inner garden]

esp ranged units unless u use shining or some shit

[crimson cedar]

kinda useless on hoshi

[turbid badge]

irene benefits more from warfrain than aak right

lol

[inner garden]

pretty sure

[crimson cedar]

i dont have warfrain either ;~;

[inner garden]

[turbid badge]

[crimson cedar]

im missing

all the broken units

no surtr

no ling

[turbid badge]

just wait for surtr to pop back up

[crimson cedar]

[gentle finch]

i purposefully dodged surtr

[turbid badge]

in shoperator

or all of them

except the limiteds ofc

[crimson cedar]

im saving to get thorns when he comes back

because holy fuck he is hot

[glass monolith]

I have Ling, Chalter, NTR, and just avoid using them to best of my abilities... Okay except maybe NTR, sorta simp

[crimson cedar]

[turbid badge]

Irene and spec alter are really good too

[tiny moat]

one very good unit is enough to carry normal stages

[turbid badge]

Honestly uhh

if i were you i would get passenger module

[crimson cedar]

id like passenger module too

[tiny moat]

my first actual carry was schwarz and she just rips open any boss and elite she comes across to

[turbid badge]

i love her too

[glass monolith]

And based on Silvergun that one unit is for some reason Deepcolor

[turbid badge]

she shred trees for me

[gentle finch]

lmao

i have to shred trees with Andreana

[turbid badge]

s1?

or u do s2

[gentle finch]

Bing

😐

11-11 is dumb

or was it 11-12

11-12 is dumb

[gleaming lodge]

Is the enemy big and red ?
Then it's an elite
If there are many big and red enemies, it's an elite wave

It's that shrimple 🦐

[glass monolith]

If it dies slower than you would like it is an elite

[gentle finch]

hm

11-12 needs gladiia S3 it seems

if i end up needing M3 I'll cry

[glass monolith]

Like this Dorothy Vision ball was elite, but game just chokes 15 of them per map because entire event has like 5 enemies

[gentle finch]

I've been postponing gladiia masteries forever now

[scarlet ledge]

crinfe

[gentle finch]

meanie

praise the lord

sl7 is enough for the artillery shooting whatever you call thems

bro

no way

I lost to the last enemy, the tree guy

[cursive mango]

This is my current main squad and we are heading into 4-1 soon, is there any specialists I should get as backup?

[gentle finch]

that was quite interesting

[gentle finch]

gravel is nice to have

[cursive mango]

Gravels waiting for the specialist rotation so she’ll be there soon

[gentle finch]

👍

Nice perfumer btw

[cursive mango]

Many thankies, she was the first E2 because I felt she did lots of work on big maps, I lack long range healers so she helps on that front

Also I have 436 red certs, should I try to get 600 by doing the rotation map? Or better use of sanity to get resources atm?

[glass monolith]

We have 2 weeks of "do main story and resources ", look on me get lost in AP-5 stage, again

[inner garden]

people farm red certs??!?!

idk ive always had like over 2k no matter how many i spent i dont knoq where they come from

[soft crystal]

I do

[storm current]

i farmed red certs

now i have max pot breeze and honeyberry

[cosmic dagger]

I farmed it during the vanguard/supporter batch

Not this batch though

[cursive mango]

See I haven’t gained many and I know there’s ops you can get with them

Are honeyberry and breeze any good?

[storm current]

breeze no

honey is only if you dont have mulberry

their purpose is elemental healing

[sour steppe]

any tips on how I should kill the boss on 11-20? Im dying between p1 and p2 and to the last 3 cars

(check Krooster by clicking my name)

[soft crystal]

I wish i had monthly card to have enough sanity potions

[livid delta]

I'm constantly out from buying module data blocks

[cursive mango]

Going to have to look that one up

[gentle finch]

rip bozo

i eventually cleared though

I'm out of sanity so I'll finish ch11 later ig

[gentle finch]

ok i don't like Kaltsit start

[quartz pendant]

anyone got tips for 7-12

Idk where to place my blocks

[gentle finch]

anyone alive

I need hanehold for playwright

hand

but it'll be very hard cuz i can't screen share or screenshot rn

[gentle finch]

welp

i died

a while ago evidently

[tidal sedge]

Still need help with that?

[quartz pendant]

Managed it

Someone said to block and force the enemy into 1 lane

They said I could clear it with blaze or thorn (I don't have them)

[tidal sedge]

Ah I see

[tidal sedge]

Yea that’s what I would have said myself

Block stages tend to just want you to create one lane

[frigid kite]

[frigid kite]

[frigid kite]

Still on it?

[sour steppe]

I kept trying until I got it

[eager gate]

event puts us all in the place of those durins in IC
These cars are stupid, I hate these cars. Especially red tiled ones

[frigid kite]

What the rocket launcher be like if you have Nightingale

[eager gate]

do her cages overwrite hp priority for those?

[jagged cargo]

How to beat the vore stages

[frigid kite]

Not only this but they also deal arts so

Yeah

[frigid kite]

Vote stages?

[jagged cargo]

The monster that eat our operator

[frigid kite]

💀

[jagged cargo]

Its soo cringe

[civic nest]

u mean SN?

[frigid kite]

The devourers

Just kill those lol

[jagged cargo]

Yea the vore monster

[frigid kite]

Not so hard

What do you have

[jagged cargo]

Wait

[civic nest]

why are u struggling again

[jagged cargo]

Idk my mudrock kept getting eaten

[frigid kite]

Which stage is it exactly?

[jagged cargo]

I think it’s looked like this

[hollow forum]

they eat the first operator that blocks them

just, kill them with range

or sacrifice one, anyone

[jagged cargo]

Can i use yato

[civic nest]

frd exist

[jagged cargo]

To bait

[civic nest]

i think u have gravel 💀

pretty sure

[turbid badge]

U suould have better options

than Yato

[jagged cargo]

e0lv1

[civic nest]

she’s gonna die anyway

[turbid badge]

it works

[jagged cargo]

oh ok

[turbid badge]

She has faster redpeloyment

Refering to gravel

[jagged cargo]

How am I struggling again? Idk

[hollow forum]

because you don't read

[frigid kite]

They eat your Operstor

Only once

Then you can block

[jagged cargo]

That why it’s the vore stages

[frigid kite]

Alright

Do you want to do it yourself or want some help?

[vernal lion]

Horn is whack in this chap lol

[tidal sedge]

Isn’t this Horn s2?

[near cypress]

How are you all dealing with the devourers?

I'm using Eune S2 to stun so she can block without being chomped, or phantom clone as bait and then using arts dps to kill

[tidal sedge]

Are those the guys that 1 shot?

[near cypress]

Yes

[tidal sedge]

I use fast redeploy

[near cypress]

They instakill the first enemy that tries to block them

[tidal sedge]

I gravel them

[near cypress]

Eunectes with S2 immediately stuns it though so she doesn't get eaten and just kills it

Phantom clone is also good bait if you don't mind giving the fat defense buff

I wonder, would a Nightingale cage work?

I guess not because they can't block...

But yeah... Eunectes stun hard counters these dudes

[hollow forum]

I fed them my bagpipe

worked out well enough

[frigid kite]

I killed them

[near cypress]

I think Mlynar burst would deal with it well...

Does he have enough damage to kill it before it reaches him?

Those dudes are really beefy

[frigid kite]

Which stage

[vernal lion]

40k HP but 0 DEF, tell that to my Exu lol

[near cypress]

Do they have literally 0, or just really low

[vernal lion]

0 at first, +DEF after devour

[near cypress]

Oh lmao, alright

Exia is gonna nuke them

[turbid badge]

what stage do you encounter devourers

[near cypress]

11-14 is the first

[turbid badge]

oh havent reached there yet

[near cypress]

Don't know past that, I have no sanity to complete the stage

[cosmic dagger]

11-14 through 11-16

then i think all h11 levels

[near cypress]

I'm theory crafting with practice tickets

[hazy elk]

is there a guide for 11-20 that does not require either nightingale s2 or hoshiguma

either one is fine but not both because i cannot borrow both on support

ive tried both kyostin guide but for each one i have had to replace hoshi with mud and she always dies during the second phase

[frigid kite]

What team do you have

[hazy elk]

as in what ops i have?

[glass monolith]

WHAT THE FUCK

[frigid kite]

Medic Knight when

[turbid badge]

11-7 moment

11-9*

[hazy elk]

those are all my e2 units

[latent anvil]

ayo

[hazy elk]

no strats work for me

[latent anvil]

lazy dokutah

[frigid kite]

Medicknights when they have to do 11-18 adverse

[latent anvil]

do you want a link to a strat

is that what ur asking for

[hazy elk]

yes

[glass monolith]

Chapter 12 will have AE with "No ranged"

[latent anvil]

[hazy elk]

a strat that works with my operators

[frigid kite]

Come with me take the journey 🎵

[hazy elk]

i will give that a try

[frigid kite]

I can help ya doing a strat if billibilli doesn't work

[hazy elk]

alright thanks

[latent anvil]

boss is weird

bring ntrk 100%

do you have

well tbh you just bring any thicc op to slap boss

ntrk is just what i used

[frigid kite]

Just

Just surtr the boss

[hazy elk]

nvm i still need your help

[hollow forum]

what's your current team comp rn

[hazy elk]

i dont have the resources to build the 4 star ops in the bilibili guide

[hollow forum]

like, the squad you're running

[hazy elk]

ik that sounds weird

but i dont have the chips

[frigid kite]

Alright gimme some minutes

[hazy elk]

ok thank you

[latent anvil]

you dont need to use same ops as one in guide replace with same archetype

but my clear is just chucking random stuff at boss tbh, i have no strat

[hazy elk]

i tried that and it didnt work

my only substitute for hoshi is mud

but she will die no matter what i try

[latent anvil]

goldenglow s3 good for that stage

[hazy elk]

is there a minimum level needed

[latent anvil]

for gg? no

urs is good lvl at least

she just helps kill those cars chilling at the left

[hazy elk]

i wanted to try the ebenholz strat but i cant do the setup for some reason

[frigid kite]

@hazy elk

[hazy elk]

all skills at m3?

[frigid kite]

Yeah but maybe only neccesary M3 is Mlynar

Maybe

[hazy elk]

are timings important in the strat?

[frigid kite]

Nope

Mlynar also helps you with placements

[hazy elk]

is kaltsit s2?

[frigid kite]

You can put him and then he will always bait the artillrry

No need to worry

[frigid kite]

S3 S2 both work

[hazy elk]

ok i will give that a try

are you getting the boss between saria and mylnar

[frigid kite]

Use Mlynar skill, after it ends, let Saria tank

Saria will die

After she dies put Irene

Or Monster

Dont forget to keep using gg skill

[hazy elk]

i will give it a try

[frigid kite]

Boss goes to 2nd phase, dont panic, just put Surtr next to Mountain and maybe a shield

[hazy elk]

is surtr just used for baiting

[frigid kite]

Surtr goals

Also use Surtr to kill enemies on top line

Because Monster will eventually die

[hazy elk]

ill keep that in mind

[frigid kite]

🇬 🇱

[limpid siren]

Wtf bad units

[surreal star]

where paprika?

[golden crag]

how do i beat 3-8

[frigid kite]

Whats the part you are having problems with

[hazy elk]

i think im actually stupid my ops always die during second phase boss

nothing ive tried has worked

[golden crag]

skullshatterer

[frigid kite]

Could you share a pic of when that happens

[surreal star]

a roster screenshot would help too

[hazy elk]

yeah im redoing the stage

[golden crag]

should i place my ops in away from his(her?) path or something?

[frigid kite]

Alright

[frigid kite]

Yes, you usually don't want to block it

[surreal star]

the most common strat is to let her take a cycle around

[frigid kite]

You can actually just kill it with only Kroos + Steward an probably melantha or any other one you got

[surreal star]

so you can deal with all the enemies first

[hollow forum]

#strategy message

[surreal star]

oh

i’m talking to bush

[hollow forum]

ah, nvm that then

[surreal star]

but ty

[golden crag]

you want mine?

[hazy elk]

my mylnar immediately dies to the boss

is that supposed to happen

[golden crag]

wait a bit

[frigid kite]

Nope

[latent anvil]

still winnable tho i think

[frigid kite]

Anyways, is the robot next to Mountain dead right

[hazy elk]

this is where all my ops die

[frigid kite]

Yup

[latent anvil]

is ur healing good enough to just facetank boss jump

[frigid kite]

Remove schwarz and put mudrock next to thorns

[latent anvil]

sell kal probably

[hazy elk]

i am just spamming ops

[frigid kite]

Kalsit is also taking some shots

[hazy elk]

so far so good

[frigid kite]

Ah

[hazy elk]

how does the boss targeting work?

[frigid kite]

Well seems win

[hazy elk]

is it most recent op placed?

[golden crag]

my team is underleveled as heck lol

[frigid kite]

Highest hp iirc

[hazy elk]

👍

very scuffed but it worked in the end

[frigid kite]

[hazy elk]

thank you so much for the strat

how do you unlock the challenge stages?

the h ones

[surreal star]

can you take a picture of the first two pages of your full roster sorted by rarity?

[frigid kite]

Wait 1 week later

[hazy elk]

oh ok

[frigid kite]

Kafka

Bottleneck

Also chestnut, you could be using Ansel

Actually

Just remove chestnut no need for Ansel 💀

[golden crag]

nothing too good quite honestly

[frigid kite]

Ey Saileach is pretty good

[latent anvil]

Well maybe not for a new player

I didn't even use myrtle till ~ch6

[frigid kite]

@golden crag want some tips or a strat?

[golden crag]

tips

[frigid kite]

Well as weebo said too just let it cycle while your dps hit it

Dont try to tank it or force it to stay on a place

[smoky cypress]

Who have aoe silence?

[surreal star]

waii fu

[flat sapphire]

podenco

[surreal star]

proviso

corroserum

blitz

[flat sapphire]

ok completely forgot about blitz

[surreal star]

snowsant

[flat sapphire]

he only exists for stuns

[latent anvil]

Conviction

[smoky cypress]

I found silence can stop mob make aoe hole

[surreal star]

ch11 puddles?

[frigid kite]

Lol

[smoky cypress]

Yes

[surreal star]

lapp should work fine

unless you have huge hordes or smth

[frigid kite]

Wild silence utilty attacking again

[latent anvil]

Not useful, just facetank puddle instead

[flat sapphire]

AH squad has enough healing from gladiia

[glass monolith]

No, i must manually silence every of those 110 pissers which i can't AoE silence because i am good at this game and got Podenco and Proviso killed

[glass monolith]

I sorta love difficulty difference between normal and hard for chapter 11.
Not bullshit like 10-17 AE easier than 10-17

[eager gate]

Dagda should have a mod that makes her ch11 talent work anywhere if Siege is in the team

[quiet dock]

is achetto worth, her skills dont look too bad, and considering i dont have exusai… like worth as in paying in cert shop not rolling

[soft crystal]

Shes pretty okay.

[quiet dock]

pretty ok? good enough to replace exusiai?

[soft crystal]

In most cases yeah

Better at multi targetting too

[tiny moat]

archetto is more qol than exusiai tbh

i would give up 38 pulls for archetto but

[quiet dock]

mmm, okok

im just in need of a, better sniper cause i mainly use exusiai or ash in support unit

and ch'en holungday ofc

[white trout]

I rather use cheeto than exu these days just for better drone killing

[fresh copper]

In the case where you do get her, yes it's worth investing into her

I wouldn't recommend going all out on her because well..... there's a ton of cracked banners ahead

[quiet dock]

yea ikik

most of them are ground tile units :(

[white trout]

I honestly havent been using aa snipers much

[glass monolith]

I use Kroos alter over Exu because i am fucking simp. Also no brainer random increased ATK hits

[quiet dock]

what you rather for anti air then

[white trout]

Cheeto

Oh other than cheeto

Thorns

[quiet dock]

HAHA

[glass monolith]

MLYNAR

[white trout]

Eyja passenger

There hasnt been much drone swarms

And current chapter drones can be tanked by ground ops

[foggy grove]

my best aa is kralter 💀

[glass monolith]

Dude, reminds me of MN when you needed to kill one of big bad drones, all while ATK debuff dude just camps in corner of map, Eyja saved my ass so hard

[foggy grove]

good thing i don't need them

[white trout]

Honestly the present drones have bigger stats than quantity

[quiet dock]

big aoe does big dmg bruh

[glass monolith]

My IC-9 is 3 ops, Gladiia holding Minimalist while Pozy splitbox him to afterlife (later i found out splitbox was unnecessary and i underestimated range increase ). Featuring literally any vanguard to show cars the way

[white trout]

So exu does nothing

[quiet dock]

literally flaming exu F

[glass monolith]

It is funny how when we get split of headhunting entire buff squad just being yeeted

[quiet dock]

i mean simple but good, no fun :(

bro, i started this game with angelina and my second 6* was phantom help me

[glass monolith]

Help with what? Go get em champ

[white trout]

Yea she fell off
She is scales so well with buffs tho

[quiet dock]

jkjk its fine, ive progressed

[soft crystal]

If you have skalter marksmen are still useful for lane dps

[quiet dock]

like i knew e2 existed yeh

[quiet dock]

have :D

[soft crystal]

Yah you can still take marskmen then

[quiet dock]

yea if i have any 😂

[scarlet ledge]

[harsh gale]

[scarlet ledge]

[harsh gale]

Btw, what is better for salt? 11-3, 11-15 or s9-2?

[hollow forum]

11-3

[harsh gale]

Thanx

[scarlet ledge]

mizuki

[distant yew]

For JT8-3, according to KyoStinV's guides and operator placement:

1. Is the position and direction for Nightingale exactly the same as Sussuro?
2. Do Nightingale's phantoms help to block fireball damage or do you still have to use a fast-redeploy/agent (such as Cantabile) to block for your Lord Guard (Thorn/Midnight in his videos)?

[storm current]

@scarlet ledge

I got ashlock

@distant yew for this particular strat yes, you need NG range to cover both of the skadi and thorns blocker
2. nightingale cage is far more effective compare to anything else, yes, especially if you put cage inside NG range, cage has 100 res

[scarlet ledge]

e2 now

[storm current]

this is why i always pull 10

if i did single

i would have stopped at corroserum

[sweet marlin]

can the art damage from bibeak s1 hit the same target she is attacking if no additional target within range?

[tidal sedge]

no

[glass monolith]

I pulled 10 on stainless an would like to ask for refund of 8 pulls

[storm current]

[gleaming lodge]

Bibik needs two targets in range for maximum DPS

S1 arts proc can hit drones btw

[glass monolith]

Useless Trivia. 11-20 boss is still blocked by your operator when he takes off. Rest in peace Heavyrain cheese set up

[gentle finch]

lmao

[glass monolith]

And i don't instant brust set ups to do "kill boss while he charging super strong hit"

I won't have fun on H stages

[foggy grove]

super strong hit?

roberta

jk

[glass monolith]

No i mean there are gifs and arkenemy than while he charges "hit x3" for 7 seconds he won't activate his hp gated skill, like at all

But i don't have S3M3 Chen, S2M3 -alter or something like that to commit boss despawn in 7 seconds

[tidal sedge]

What is m8 7 full of

Is it easy or is it a mid difficulty level

[foggy grove]

idr it so must be easy

just go in

[glass monolith]

Compared to AE of chapter 11 everything but Talubruh and secret endings is easy

[tidal sedge]

Ok

Time to maybe actually do it

going guideless and just getting tips instead has rlly fixed my skill issue

[gentle finch]

good luck

I too have no recollection of the stage, so it must be easy

it's either the one with the strikers huddled up to the left of the map or the one with talulah and the casters spawned at beginning of map

[tidal sedge]

It was possessed spam.

went in blind and got obliterate

[glass monolith]

[gentle finch]

oh that stage

Rosmontis

[tidal sedge]

no

M8 7

[sharp wadi]

Since it's JT you forgot someone called gravel and talu is noob just focus only roses and mob after talu dead

[tidal sedge]

I shoulda just said stage name

You get bumrushed by like 18 possessed soldiers at the very beginnings

so uh

Just myrtle it?

[sharp wadi]

Since horn is available just use her

Horn mlynar SA
Super ez

[tidal sedge]

My big trio of ifrit sa and eyja can shred most story bosses until like chap 9 or 10 right?

[sharp wadi]

Not really another ops did better but still usable depending plans

[tidal sedge]

aw

[distant yew]

I have cleared it after several tries and needing every op to defend the medic defender during phase 2 fireballs. I did not forget Gravel, but thanks for reminding me.

[tidal sedge]

well time to get my ass obliterated by ms talulah

[sharp wadi]

At H 8-4 plan is different a bit

[foggy grove]

is talulah before mephisto

idr

[sharp wadi]

Mepshit first then talu

[foggy grove]

so he'll get obliterated by mephisto first

[distant yew]

Re JT8-3 after Talulah, watch out for the very last Lancer at the very end if your ops don't clear the runners fast enough.

[lapis ibex]

Whats the best op for talullah murder?

Nevermind, i formed a strategy myself

[vivid spoke]

Not sure if i need to raise my units more to beat 3-8 or i need to git gud

Any opinions?

[gentle finch]

ok

[tidal sedge]

this is skullshatter level right?

[vivid spoke]

Yeah

She just keeps killing my ops

[tidal sedge]

Ignore def tiles , they're in such bad positions that any op there gets nuked by sw

[vivid spoke]

Zima also just keeps dying before she can get dp

[tidal sedge]

Get some more healers, sacrifice nearl and kill her once she comes back

[vivid spoke]

Alright

Hoping for paprika then

[tidal sedge]

Otherwise team good

no no need

just go like Ansel or hibiscus

or any healer you got

[vivid spoke]

I would

[tidal sedge]

you need an extra so that Zima lives

[vivid spoke]

But 5* only

[tidal sedge]

Oh

[vivid spoke]

Yeah

otherwise i can just borrow someone like mlynar and nuke her off the face of the earth

Well more healers it is

Thanks!

[foggy grove]

borrow pluma

[tidal sedge]

get warf borrow lol

She does good enough as another healer

[vivid spoke]

dies aswell

oh yeah warf

she might also buff someone enough to nuke skullshatterer off

[foggy grove]

[vivid spoke]

guess i need to game better

[scarlet ledge]

this is dumb @limpid siren @gentle finch

[limpid siren]

don't think i've done that adverse yet

[scarlet ledge]

dies

oh ye

tsuki dodge

😳

[glass monolith]

11-12 is shitshow

[soft crystal]

I brought out shining for 11-12

[glass monolith]

i brought out mlynar

[limpid siren]

🤯

[soft crystal]

Mlynar op

[hollow notch]

who's that below Passenger?
who's that on the top-left of passenger (in the first picture)?

and what's that drone thing in the squad bar (the 5 DP cost thing)?

[glass monolith]

Yes mlynar is OPerator

[soft crystal]

Silence drone

[foggy grove]

i'm gated by sanity

barely progressing

[hollow notch]

ah, got it

[scarlet fulcrum]

So far its very friendly chapter, idk about H stage later

[scarlet ledge]

its ok

just have fun on enemy waves doe

especially h11-1

[glass monolith]

I will dies

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah i can guess another rush stages for H, its HG trend at this point

[scarlet ledge]

u like 4 lane?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Surely

[glass monolith]

Just imagine you are that dude who opens door and get hit by air cannon.
That's H11-1 experience

[scarlet fulcrum]

bringing 12 ops like usual

[scarlet ledge]

but h11-2/3 aint bad

[limpid siren]

bring 12 bad ops and suffer

[scarlet ledge]

h11-4 is okay if u can deal with stall and managing waves

[glass monolith]

H11-1 is LE-EX-7 but every single tile is epic sax guy

[scarlet fulcrum]

I want to test dagda for the rest of H stage

[limpid siren]

can borrow mine

her trust stats suck anyway

but i should get to 100 before w2

[scarlet ledge]
