[vernal lion]

"Activate Franka's True dmg skill (maybe...)"

[limpid siren]

she can reach in my dreams

[vernal lion]

man I wish it's 2 tiles long for skill range tho

[limpid siren]

would be nice actually

[glass monolith]

uh... Caster ban is different map

[limpid siren]

iris kills the first top lane launcher

[scarlet fulcrum]

Main threat is that tank indeed

[limpid siren]

but the lane is too busy for her to be very effective

it's winnable though

i think

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah

[limpid siren]

akafuyu1 with the -330 def debuff from meteorite2 can kill like 60% of a launcher

[scarlet fulcrum]

So avoiding meta this time?

[limpid siren]

i had a friend build a squad for me

loads of 1 blocks

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh damn, make sense, that was not usual pick for 5*

[limpid siren]

yeah i think the meta picks would crush this stage

[scarlet fulcrum]

Surely enough

[tidal sedge]

Ethan doesn't have a block count right?

[limpid siren]

that's correct

ambushers have 0 block by default

[tidal sedge]

His gimmick is binding enemies right?

[limpid siren]

yes

[tidal sedge]

Cool, sounds useful

[glass monolith]

and thanks to module he has insane bind chance with s2 now

[tidal sedge]

Damn

[glass monolith]

His S1 can be used as DoT for cheese of IW event

[tidal sedge]

Basically guaranteed bind?

Help is where the smart people go, strategy is where you go to stop seeing help trolls

[glass monolith]

Not guaranteed, but enemy VERY unlikely to escape jaye attack range during it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4Je-yJPJBk

[vernal lion]

his mod is whack

too bad it's not cc beta

[scarlet fulcrum]

Then hg made enemy with cc immune

Mostima: -mspd immune where

[glass monolith]

Lancers

[scarlet fulcrum]

Lancer affected by it

They will just not reset speed built up

[glass monolith]

I hate than Lancer's speed built up attack is separated hit

[vernal lion]

Lancer the fastest racer: "FULL SPEED BOIS"
Mostima the Traffic Officer: (s3) "Stop Right There, Criminal Scum!"

[glass monolith]

CC buffed Lancer speed, not pot 5 Mostima: Lancer is boy who hacked game to move during cutscene

[scarlet fulcrum]

They are paper with that risk anyway, fair trade off

[glass monolith]

Everything is paper until game adds ATK down risk 3 and i go cry in corner

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pyrite w2 moment

Atk3 -hp3

-atk only2 iirc

1 tap stunner

Oh wait its -atk3 atk2 and -def3

[tidal sedge]

What situations are ifrit s3 and s2 better at?

[sly pivot]

s2 for afk

s3 for when u want to burst

[tidal sedge]

K

[eager gate]

Oh ffs

[glass monolith]

I know you guys love meth and math, so let's calculate how much and what overlapped if boss do 2000 per hit with charged

IT FUCKING STACKED

[hexed mulch]

?

[glass monolith]

I piled up all sources of damage reduction i had just for fun

Now i know i can just push over boss on H stages because i have operators to apply 🧀 to

[quartz pendant]

It's always ONE MOTH THAT GETS AWAY

[hexed mulch]

bearings and sparks or the front that was?

for pulling

[glass monolith]

Front that was ended 2-3 days ago, wasn't it?

[hexed mulch]

confusing 🙂 am baby

ends 5-2

[glass monolith]

Boss of chapter 11 has nasty hitting ability. It hits for 2000 physical 3 times in row with no window to heal.
Gladiia module 2 upgrades her talent to reduce physical/arts taken from ALL enemies by 28%
Stainless S3 has hidden talent (can be seen only on deployed turrets) to reduce physical damage taken by 20% for operators behind them. You can deploy 2.
Quercus talent reduce physical/arts taken by 14% if ally above 70% hp.
I used them all at same time and 2292 HP gladiia with 364 DEF who would take 4908 damage without reductions survived boss ability
I droped math to video i posted right before it (for first boss hit taken, which i screenshoted)

[scarlet ledge]

main acc done

[hexed mulch]

im on like chapter 2 lol

[glass monolith]

5-2 is chapter 5

Also there is no rush, and you are not forced to face tank boss. I just running options i have due huge roster

while sharing it here because i find it funny to survive boss on damage reduction alone

[eager gate]

Jesus fuck I just want to set up a farm

[hexed mulch]

5-2 was the date the thing ends, May 2nd

im on like 2-9 stage

[glass monolith]

oh, yea

[gentle finch]

man

[glass monolith]

jesus use second operator

[gentle finch]

I'm trying to find a guaranteed win for phantom stage besides pozy

[glass monolith]

Also is that even farm stage?

[eager gate]

bot-spam says so

apparently best grindstone stage and I've been farming 4-8 this entire time

[glass monolith]

Fartooth ignore dodge can 🧀 phantom IS2 sorta

[turbid badge]

guarenteed win for is2??

phantom stage

i used to do chalter

[eager gate]

Need a LOT of atk speed
Pozёmka tho can do it with just warfarin s2m3

totally balanced sniper

[turbid badge]

tho she can only kill in 2 cycles

So she need redeployment

Cant think of any other good ones that arent too tedious

[eager gate]

Kal'tsit with a little buffs for her spine, place Monster right near shieldguys spawn facing them

she'll kill Phantom since true damage can't be dodged

[tawny solar]

How do i

[vernal lion]

Gladiia with 70% DR? I'm in lol

[tawny solar]

[turbid badge]

cm?

or normal

[tawny solar]

normal

[vernal lion]

you want CM too lol

just to not suffer for later, because it's not farmable stage

[tawny solar]

Well yeah but that’s for later me to worry about

[eager gate]

borrow someone's Red or Phantom to take care of casters, without them that stage is trivial

[quartz pendant]

For S9-1

Do I go left or right?

[tawny solar]

thank

[foggy grove]

right

[vernal lion]

Surtr s3 works too

[foggy grove]

topple pillar left

[gentle finch]

with a blocker or no

the ranged tiles to the left of the map are nice to kill him

[turbid badge]

Yea on the left

[scarlet ledge]

hello tetata

[turbid badge]

no blocker i dont thinkkka

[glass monolith]

That was 60%, also Quercus i'm pretty sure applied only to first hit (hp threshold), without her it was 54%

[scarlet ledge]

and waterman

[turbid badge]

waow

[vernal lion]

just use Quercus

[gentle finch]

hello 0464

[turbid badge]

how much attack steamknight have

and aspd interval

in pase 1

[scarlet ledge]

@gentle finch this is dumb

[latent anvil]

[scarlet ledge]

[gentle finch]

guaranteed kill with blocker probably

[gentle finch]

bro got a mech sandwich

nice clear

[glass monolith]

1600, 5 seconds, duration ability give him +100 atk speed (so attacks every 2.5)
After 4 attacks charges special attack with hits 125% 3 times
Phase 2 makes +100 attack speed permament

I'm the only one who got surpized than phase 2 don't have attack buff like.... Literally anything in game? God damn W in chapter 1 has it

[vernal lion]

HG: *made a tough boss
Me: "Is this boss nukeable"
HG: "..."

[glass monolith]

While he charges super attack you can bypass all his healthgates

[vernal lion]

and I take that a yes

[turbid badge]

wtf ta chonk

[glass monolith]

Best part. H stages barely buff him

Like more def phase 1, the end

[foggy grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvkdhBsAU90&ab_channel=Zane

[vernal lion]

my nuke plan is never failed

[foggy grove]

stainless best tank fr

[vernal lion]

I will Exu cheese again

[glass monolith]

Why turn off preview?

[foggy grove]

habit

[glass monolith]

fair enough

[lethal dragon]

Zamn!!!!!

Zane is back

[glass monolith]

Damn Cement + Stainless + her base Def + her s2 is literally roadblock

[vernal lion]

the funny thing about this boss is that it can't fly...
...but it can launch itself up to the sky, shoot a barrage of rocket, and do it in multiple times...
nice logic, HG.

[glass monolith]

And you still blocking him while he in sky

I know because my plan A was camo cheese

[glass monolith]

[vernal lion]

who's gonna win
a fat ass war machine,
or menacingly-reading-newspaper uncle?

[glass monolith]

Waifu collecting doctor

[kindred heron]

who are some ops to bring for auto 11-3 grind

[kindred heron]

THat's some big Mlynar energy

[glass monolith]

[hexed mulch]

are the limited time drops good?

[hexed mulch]

scary lookin

[glass monolith]

It is just random material and/or 10 sanity potion, happens every half year on chapter release

[hexed mulch]

i see

[worthy ermine]

who do i borrow for 11-20?

[latent anvil]

ng makes you tank entire stage for free

[worthy ermine]

nightingale?

[latent anvil]

yes

goldenglow kills the stuff on the left easily tho

[worthy ermine]

i can place mlynar on the left

[glass monolith]

Goldenglow will kill stupid artillery cringe at start

[worthy ermine]

gg it is then

[hazy totem]

A creative way to counter these eater.

[glass monolith]

Exu/Kroos alter

[gentle finch]

...

floor 5, 0 medic recruits and 0 guard recruits

while trying for ending 3

[worthy ermine]

bro i cant do 11-20

[latent anvil]

Borrow ng instead

[glass monolith]

S2 Gravel can bait some of boss skill attacks away

[tawny solar]

Menacing newspaper-reading uncle

[gentle finch]

let's go

point of no return w/o medic or thorns!

[hexed mulch]

is leizi good

[vital arrow]

Not really

[ancient hearth]

only good in SSS, and even that's a bit of a stretch

[glass monolith]

Chain casters have some usage, but i am not familiar with Leizi to judge, i use Astgenne and probably everyone at some point friend supported Passanger

[ancient hearth]

chain casters in general benefit a lot from stacking aspd

even pudding will work

[glass monolith]

Chapter 11 has those robots with 10 resist placed like game wants you to chain caster them all

[ancient hearth]

eh, I use ebenholz for them

not sure chain caster will work on most of the adverse ones, the red artillery and battery ram are thick

[vital arrow]

Chain casters are like, splash casters but not as bad

Astgenne has her aspd stacking talent to help her out

And passenger has *6 privilege

[glass monolith]

I think adverse make ram pathing the goldenglow food

On normal Goldenglow will rather kill boss than attack any of afk rams

[tall sierra]

Horn prefered 3 vg and 2 guard buff?

In sss

[fathom gust]

enemy strategy team

[sinful gull]

Horn is Good in SSS ? I Usually Prefer Irene , Passenger and SilverAsh

[hexed mulch]

sad cuz her ability sounds op

chain arts damage that also slows

[vital arrow]

All chain casters has that

[hexed mulch]

o

[livid delta]

Horn works
Sometimes I throw sniper on her if I don't have anything else on hand

[hexed mulch]

she my only one

am baby

[vital arrow]

Ye don't use her

Or use her

[hexed mulch]

stuck on 2-9 lol

[vital arrow]

Shes not that good though

[hexed mulch]

ok

[vital arrow]

Yeah don't use her

[livid delta]

Without module she's kinda ass

[vital arrow]

Even with module shes a bit ass

[glass monolith]

Some chain casters have better slow module, other no damage fall off from chaining

[fathom gust]

I just realized the artillery have 1500 def

always using physical damage but don't feel a thing💀

[foggy grove]

stronk

i feel it when horn can only chop it to a half

[glass monolith]

Finally my aciddrop
can roll over on bench she kill them in 139 attacks because they have HP as well

[foggy grove]

[fathom gust]

are you saying your accidrop is dealing like little more than 100 damage everytime?

just use caster

[glass monolith]

108

[fathom gust]

wtf, just use a caster they have 10 negligible res

[glass monolith]

so i did

i just feel bad than Aciddrop was useful on literally 1 enemy in entire game and that enemy is 2 years old now

[fathom gust]

bubble armor

[fathom gust]

also red also works

[hexed mulch]

courier or fang?

[lethal dragon]

https://youtu.be/ZQhkOsBikkg

[vernal lion]

it's funny that banning medic is not my problem

[tall sierra]

No problem if need healing there saria and skaltee

[glass monolith]

[foggy grove]

6* reaper when

[glass monolith]

melee operator with global range ability when

[foggy grove]

i run a funi podenco healer

[ancient hearth]

Only AE 11-15 and 11-20 maybe are somewhat tough to a developed squad

[glass monolith]

11-15 is one where you get fucked by katyushas?

[ancient hearth]

The tank spam from two directions

[vernal lion]

and the thicc trees there

[ancient hearth]

Along with the vore enthusiasts

[glass monolith]

okay i think about some other stage, let me check

[hexed mulch]

2-9 kinda bs

[foggy grove]

[glass monolith]

people mainly suffer with 2-10

[hexed mulch]

oh good

i struggled with 2-7 and now 2-9

too many places for baddies to come from and too many drones all over. i don't have the coverage

[glass monolith]

You can cover all drones in 2 snipers

[hexed mulch]

no

[foggy grove]

Yes

[hexed mulch]

where

[glass monolith]

Found it. 11-12 AE is bullshit

[vernal lion]

also, don't tell me you cleared the stages before with 2 star

I mean, the clear, not the op

[hexed mulch]

2-7, yea

mostly, 3* tho

[dense drum]

Can i ask if rot eaters still gain buffs while enemies die even after i killed the tree?

Or they only gain buffs when in the tree form?

[ancient hearth]

Really? Just an ebenholz shooting gallery for the rams.

[glass monolith]

I had trouble setting my clown car because just how early game feed you those artilleries

Also i am *** moron who didn't figure their skill before 11-15 AE

[vernal lion]

only gain buff when in tree form

[dense drum]

Ok nc

So just exu them quickly then done

[glass monolith]

In 11-17 they spawn from red box in empowered form, not nice move game

[ancient hearth]

The early artillery down the middle I camped with a schwarz.

[glass monolith]

Also i had issue named trying to kroos alter 2 trees instantly in 1 S2 cycle for lulz

[ancient hearth]

You pretty much need a strong single target caster or high defense piercer on 11-12 AE, ideally two.

[glass monolith]

it don't give you much ground to work with either

[ancient hearth]

If you have Mlynar or Surtr you pretty much bum rush the trees asap.

[vernal lion]

basically, this enemy is SSS reference

[ancient hearth]

Tanking a single full stat rot eater is difficult without a burst healing skill. Two would require immortality or a protector defender skill.

[left rune]

which 6* defenders or guards are strong in IS?

[vernal lion]

the definition of "strong" is various

but if you are looking for someone can do the job easily, then just pick self sustain op like Mountain, Thorns, Mudrock, etc...

[hexed mulch]

borrowed W, gg ez. op op

on to 2-10 we go...

[glass monolith]

There are few S stages before it

[hexed mulch]

2-10 ez

just beat it

[glass monolith]

Now that's the spirit

You sure it was 2-10, not s2-10, right?

[turbid badge]

wow skyfire

[vernal lion]

this formula is worked for 114 enemies

this one is based on total % of number of enemy from that stage

so if there is less than 20% dead enemies, it won't increase 20% buff.
but if it's enough 20%, then it will increase 20% buff, and also keep raising, base on total dead enemies

[hexed mulch]

sadge u right

the naming convention is bad

i hate it

[vernal lion]

s is sub stage tho

[glass monolith]

Yes but chapter 2 just feeds S stages on main path

while other chapters have S stages as split paths

[hexed mulch]

but what does that mean

[hexed mulch]

all the early ones have so far

but later it doesnt?

[glass monolith]

Arknights is game when every next chapter/event feels like programmed by different dude who was given base code and "do something cool lmao"

[vernal lion]

it's called timeline

[hexed mulch]

ah well so far it feels like every couple stages is just a different gimmick to adapt to, and without many operators it kinda hurts my soul

stuck on s2-12 now :p

[glass monolith]

Even if you have operators, building them is slow

[left rune]

I'm at phantom stage in IS2, got 4 random recruits left and 6 hope

first 2 are specialist and medic, don't have Kaltsit

skip?

[formal moss]

chapter 11 forces u to build 1 frd

[left rune]

you could face tank nukes

[formal moss]

skip But who elsd is ur options

[left rune]

or was that ch10

[left rune]

idk I'm abt to find out

[formal moss]

The peeps that lock Out ur ops

[glass monolith]

Or have Kroos and Exu kill vore dudes before they walk up to you.
Chapter 10 pillars are more enforcing

[left rune]

guard or defender

any 6* comes to mind? no e2

for IS2

[formal moss]

Mountain?

[left rune]

got mnt

mudrock?

ill send my squad

[formal moss]

She can work

[formal moss]

Can u e2 mountain?

[left rune]

I could

[formal moss]

What ur gaurd roster lookin

[left rune]

Is it that much better?

I think I pretty much got them all except blaze

[hexed mulch]

😦

ok

is spending op on summons dumb?

[left rune]

Depends

What lvl are you

[hexed mulch]

i want better operators but never get oridium cuz anni way too hard

[left rune]

And are you f2p

[hexed mulch]

uh 7 or 8?

f2p yea

[left rune]

I'd focus on getting level packs with op

[hexed mulch]

oh

[left rune]

Apart from the level packs you can use op on pulls if skins don't interest you yeah

[sonic willow]

you can do anni1

[left rune]

At level 7-8?

[formal moss]

Gavi alt then

[left rune]

Not e2

[sonic willow]

not sure what account level has to do with it

@hexed mulch show your roster

[formal moss]

s2 strats with mlynar

[left rune]

I'm not expecting him to have leveled ops

Though I guess you're right

[left rune]

No idea how that works

I have S3 Gnosis if you mean stall

[glass monolith]

they talk about packs which are each 5th level, if he chapter 2 he won't have much of them unlocked
And account level change people opinion on to action

[formal moss]

Wait no i forgor no E2

The 40 sec thingy don't do the thingy

[formal moss]

Just To Cover mlynar's downtime

[left rune]

S2 is the pull one right?

[hexed mulch]

also lancet

[bitter glen]

siege and shining first
just like me
im sorry for your loss

[hexed mulch]

😦

[glass monolith]

Well it is better to have more options than less, right

[lethal dragon]

Honestly just reroll on sexas

ng what a carry

lol just wanted to see something

smh didnt work

but cool!

[scarlet ledge]

teta pro

[turbid badge]

dorothy was actually so useful

for the wither tanks

[tidal sedge]

Dorothy has been carrying my trust farm squad since my account has been inactive so long I have 12+ ops not at max trust

Hmm.

Maybe for trust farming I should hook up Stainless s1 devices to Dorothy

[hexed mulch]

rerolling takes an eternity, i tried and didnt even get a 6* bro

also @sonic willow abandoned me even tho i shared my roster like they asked lol

[sonic willow]

it should be possible if you do a little bit of leveling

like e0 max your stuff

[hexed mulch]

e0 max is 40 right?

i can do that, but im worried of wasting level juice on shit units

[sonic willow]

you can level these

[glass monolith]

It will feel like pocket charge in future

[scarlet fulcrum]

ppl always hate defender sadge

[gleaming lodge]

yes

truly sad

thankfully I make up for it

[sonic willow]

bro make up 80% of playerbase defender usage

[gleaming lodge]

I will retire once Vulcan gets a based blacksmithing outfit

[quartz pendant]

So who should I replace Courier with

Since y'all wondered why I still use him

[gleaming lodge]

Scavanger is generally better if you want to stick to 4*

[quartz pendant]

And no not a damn dirt durin unit

[gleaming lodge]

Zima is a direct upgrade to him

[quartz pendant]

I hate those Durin creatures

[inner garden]

because you have many more options probably

[gleaming lodge]

what are your vanguards ?

[quartz pendant]

Getting my Krooster one sec

[gleaming lodge]

just take a screenshot

[quartz pendant]

fine

[latent anvil]

https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/Kozm0naught

That's their krooster

[quartz pendant]

Ignore Myrtle

I do not like her species of goblins

[latent anvil]

Saga is good

[quartz pendant]

S2 or S3

Cause I just E2 Golden doggo

[inner garden]

s3

why do you hate durins so much anyways

[quartz pendant]

I do not like creatures that are knee height

I would use Durins as footballs

[latent anvil]

I mean I always used s2 but s3 is better

[inner garden]

s2 better because voiceline spam

[inner garden]

so you hate short people

but yeah tbh build saga and thats about it

[cyan gorge]

heightism

[inner garden]

and build blacknight but thats because im biased

[quartz pendant]

Alright, I'll get to work on Saga and Blacklight

Idk how Blacklight works but I'll do it regardless

[inner garden]

shes a sniper vanguard

and also a summoner

her summon sleeps enemies on command and prioritizes them

so basically she can stall a bit early and get you dp so you can deploy your other units

[cyan gorge]

Personally I use Blacknight S1 more than S2

[inner garden]

tbh i kinda use both but i did masteries on s2 so

s1 is more for dp and also to make more use of the summon while s2 is spammable sleep and some arts dmg

[sonic willow]

what map are you doing

[glass monolith]

@gleaming lodge would you like to see some Damage Reduction gaming? (28%x20%x20%=54%, first hit had extra 14% for 60% DR)

[quartz pendant]

Yes

(I'm currently at...)

Hold on lemme check

9-14

And currently being FILTERED by the MOTHS

[sonic willow]

have you tried blue woman/mlynar

[glass monolith]

i swear 9-14 is one of "just flip pillar" stages, isn't it?

[quartz pendant]

Blue Woman?

[quartz pendant]

....

noo...

[glass monolith]

Just flip 3 pillars!

[quartz pendant]

The one who summons dragons when killing the enemies orrrrr

which one

[sonic willow]

summer blue woman

[cyan gorge]

iirc 9-14 was one of those maps where you just funnel everything in one lane and nuke

[waxen swan]

After 6 month of waiting im kinda disappointed of the stage difficulty

Boss also got no interesting gimmick

Also can be blocked forever

[frigid kite]

lets see how the h stages are

[turbid badge]

yeaa

[turbid badge]

i heard the stat increase is minimal

[frigid kite]

[glass monolith]

H11-1 is cancer, -2 and -4 boss rematch and uh.... I haven't see any youtube on -3

[waxen swan]

Man i got hype for no reason

[frigid kite]

Damn h-3 so hard it has been forbidden

[turbid badge]

real

[glass monolith]

And i told only about boss stat increase, dude, 33% hp, +200 ATK and he has 100 def less in phase 2, who the fuck designed it?

[frigid kite]

Me

[turbid badge]

Wowa

[glass monolith]

You know you can explode boomers to block off top and bottom, right?

[waxen swan]

Yeah his phase 2 is awful

Why did they make him weaker

[frigid kite]

Lore

[glass monolith]

Lore never explains why H stage can have LESS stats than original

[frigid kite]

[waxen swan]

I don't understand why they don't give the thing something to bypass defender

[sonic willow]

I went through ch9-11 without reading anything

[turbid badge]

i thought when he fly he would move

lmao

[waxen swan]

Literally can't get over defender with 2 medic

[turbid badge]

but nah just being tanked by nian

[glass monolith]

My defenders are no that good enough... WOULD BE SHAME IF I HAD E2 ROBERTA AND 36% DR FROM STAINLESS

[waxen swan]

EB would blow half the map so he can move

[turbid badge]

i thought hed be like that jetpack boss in is2

[frigid kite]

How many attacks roberta block?

[glass monolith]

2, boss does 3

[frigid kite]

Roberta + catgirl shield

[glass monolith]

So just don't stand in middle of piss when you use roberta device

[turbid badge]

stainless DR is only physical right

[glass monolith]

Yes. Boss charged is physical

[turbid badge]

ou icic

[glass monolith]

But i have something called ADVANCED 🧀 for boss skill

he would never expect Heavyrain s1 gaming

[turbid badge]

wat that do

[waxen swan]

I finally understand why they crank 12 a lot harder

[glass monolith]

Heavyrain if she wasn't blocking boss will drop below 50% and S1 herself gaining camo and avoiding rest of boss skill

[turbid badge]

WTF

camo moment

[glass monolith]

Yea. Only bad news is. It doesn't work if she blocks boss... BECAUSE YOU STILL FUCKING BLOCKING HIM WHILE HE IS FLYING

[waxen swan]

Heavyrain is actually really nice for stalling physical

Yeah why tf he still counts as blocking

Oh if enemy is asleep it doesn't block

But if the thing fly it count as block

[turbid badge]

muh physical dodge

[quartz pendant]

Alright, with my squad + summer blue woman to Mylar

I should be fine

will be back with results

[glass monolith]

Evidence of copium game design
#strategy message

(My videos on failing to camo if you blocked boss)

[quartz pendant]

Uhhhh

who did you put on the middle?

[frigid kite]

Mlynar and Ash it seems

You have to go back time and get Ash

[waxen swan]

Ashlesh moment

[sonic willow]

surely that's the only option

[frigid kite]

Yes

I guess he does that or keep on that stage forever

[sonic willow]

or use brain and use another sniper

I forgot to switch Exu's skill to S3

More like you forgot to kill app to avoid failed result

[quartz pendant]

[frigid kite]

Waw

Nice hack

[sonic willow]

just use fodder ranged units to drop the rocks on golems

[quartz pendant]

?? Hack

[frigid kite]

alright i'll stop it

Btw

You do like getting 2*

[glass monolith]

(Pulls 12 e2d snipers )

[frigid kite]

Do that on 11-18 Adverse

No wait

Thats healers

💀

[glass monolith]

Thansk, i noticed

[frigid kite]

11-9*

[glass monolith]

I love how game warns you about "Can't be used" but totally silent on x3 cost

[frigid kite]

Well

You can also silently go 3 flagbearers

[sonic willow]

Did I not click practice

[frigid kite]

Nice rock

[quartz pendant]

Just trying to get to cp 11 I can roll for Texalter or whatever cause they're released rn but I don't see the banner

[frigid kite]

[glass monolith]

Texalter is separated event, we have Stainless right now

[frigid kite]

How did you get to that conclusion?

[glass monolith]

One copium at the time

[sonic willow]

they should release texas together with ch11 on may1 to make sure all non-savers die from cringe

[frigid kite]

Damn

[turbid badge]

lmaoo

free ceu mats

[quartz pendant]

Someone said I had to get to 11 in order for Texalter

[waxen swan]

What

[frigid kite]

Hmmmmm

Where

Ah well doesn't matter

As Minus told ya, we will get texalter later, maybe in 2 weeks who knows

[quartz pendant]

Anything for Kal'Alter and Kal'stit new skin...

[frigid kite]

I mean, we all would have texalter if she would be out so

[turbid badge]

Yes

[frigid kite]

Yeah

[turbid badge]

for her materials

[quartz pendant]

Oh her mats

[frigid kite]

Aaah

[waxen swan]

Should be more specific

[frigid kite]

You can do that on the shop/episode 9

[quartz pendant]

should I stop doing chapter 9 and go back to 7 to read the story now

[waxen swan]

Wait she used salt ?

[frigid kite]

Penance too

Texalter only needs like 4 T4 or something

[waxen swan]

Well at least I didn't waste sanity

[gleaming lodge]

60% DR is cool but where is your DEF ?

[frigid kite]

He made it into an excel anywhere

[glass monolith]

[frigid kite]

Good meth

[glass monolith]

Took me fucking 10 minutes to realize damage reduction reduce damage you take

[gleaming lodge]

congratulations mate

[frigid kite]

The meth i did was "Shining S3+Gavialter S3"

[gentle finch]

i started gladiia S3 masteries thinking her S2 was the one that needed nanoflakes, but it's actually her S3

would you guys leave her at M2 until after texas or just go for it

[frigid kite]

You still have a lot of time

[glass monolith]

Wait for H stages for DEF dlc

[frigid kite]

But only for a stage thst may not be able to do

Who knows

Actually, try it with M2 now, maybe you can do it

[gentle finch]

https://youtu.be/r-DMP5gic9U

this guy used S3

S2*

but i don't want to copy clear

so I'll try to find a viable S3 strat myself

[turbid badge]

nice 364

[gleaming lodge]

H stages ??
why would you get more DEF in H stages ?
you would need it because Gladiia remains weak though

[frigid kite]

Hmm

[gentle finch]

but seems impossible on S3

tbh

[glass monolith]

I was messing around, in H stage i will set up Eunectes + DR for stalling, maybe with cameo of Roberta device, meawhile as i checked before S1 Heavyrain can be perfect second target as she just peace out when targeted

[gleaming lodge]

Eun S1 ?

[glass monolith]

I really should have built Hoshi

[frigid kite]

Yo

I got an idea

Mlynar NG Gavialter and Surtr

[gleaming lodge]

no

you shouldn't build Hoshi

tanks are bad

except Nian, Nian is god

[glass monolith]

fades into smoke

I didn't record s1, so hold s2

[scarlet fulcrum]

Another test ground for boss tbh

[gleaming lodge]

why do you proc Ptilo S2 here ?

[glass monolith]

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its like chaining with mst and hope its negate smt

[glass monolith]

It was before i won boss so i had sanity shield

lmao

[sonic willow]

inventing perpetual motion

[scarlet fulcrum]

Interesting choice there

[turbid badge]

one of them slowly rots as they are not being healed

bp is better

for this

[quartz pendant]

What exactly does Skalter do

I read her skills but like

does she not attack or anything, does have have to use the sea dragon she summons or what

[glass monolith]

Bard archetype scream at other operators to suck less and their get angry and start hit harder

And Skalter is very good at screaming

[quartz pendant]

ah, so she's just a buffer but those summons of her don't do anything like Mont3r

[sonic willow]

skalter is unique, she dance

[quartz pendant]

Where would I go to see like, the classes and shit

Like Juggernaut/Hook Handler and stuff like that

[glass monolith]

Her summon expands range of her scream to where you need to be

[quartz pendant]

IT WHAT

no wonder it just stood there...

[glass monolith]

Skalter summon is literally 3x3 "now it is Skalter range"

[turbid badge]

yea

its really useful

[quartz pendant]

Idk how that works since it's a sea dragon

But thanks

Very helpful

[turbid badge]

range extension

[glass monolith]

It is very good at voice imitation i guess

[quartz pendant]

Dragons are dragons, they kill

😭

[turbid badge]

a seaborne isnt a dragon

[glass monolith]

It is sea dragon, they chill

And when they don't chill....

Well we will see that part in IS3

[frigid kite]

There we go

[quartz pendant]

I'm at 9-17, how many more ops I have before 10

[frigid kite]

Ops?

You mean stages

9-19 iirc

That one is a funny stage btw

[turbid badge]

lol

[frigid kite]

Hmmm

Did the turret kill it?

[quartz pendant]

Alright, I'll keep an eye out on 9-19, cause 9-17 is a bit tricky with the pillar

[frigid kite]

Yo wait

[quartz pendant]

Idk like that emote

[turbid badge]

yea

[frigid kite]

They have Skalter as hostage

[turbid badge]

does the turret scale off Stainless attack?

[frigid kite]

What did she do

[gentle finch]

she buffs and heals

very well

[turbid badge]

heal stainless

hey supporter in sss

[frigid kite]

As for the turret, i don't really know, never read his kit

[turbid badge]

i think it does its just not pooping up in the skill

where the enemies this weak wtf

how does it die to buffed chen slash

[quartz pendant]

I'll take it

[turbid badge]

w w why

Why 2 star

u could of borrowed no?

[lethal dragon]

17 isn't event hard duh

[quartz pendant]

I did borrow

[full marlin]

Me when theresis pwns 3 ops of mine along with kaltsit with his line attack

[frigid kite]

I want to kill theresis

Seems Like a fun boss

[glass monolith]

PvZ final boss when he just smash your plants as neutral move

[frigid kite]

Holy sht

That's why they are doing overpowered executors

[turbid badge]

lol

[quartz pendant]

I reached 9-19

I do not like this map

[frigid kite]

You will enjoy it

[quartz pendant]

I will not

[frigid kite]

Dont 2* it tho

[quartz pendant]

I'm not good at strategy games

[glass monolith]

You will like THAT even less

[turbid badge]

Be careful

[frigid kite]

Teta why spoil

[quartz pendant]

I'm...gonna go to practice and see what I'm up against

[frigid kite]

[quartz pendant]

Who should I borrow...

[turbid badge]

I feel like they know what rocks are

[quartz pendant]

[frigid kite]

Hmmmm

Surtr

Or Mlynar

[turbid badge]

i was thinking mlynar

[quartz pendant]

Alright

[turbid badge]

dont get Mlynar get laser beamed by the cat enemy or he will lose some attack speed

[quartz pendant]

uhhh

I'll retry

Oh god her second phase is too much 💀

[fresh copper]

9-19 is fun

[quartz pendant]

No it is not

Like, some of my ops can't knock the pillars down in time

Surtr can't do enough on her second phase

Mylnar gets nuked on second phase

I'm at a loss rn

[hollow forum]

do you not have anyone else to bait for him

like, you keep mlynar alive long enough and all you need is 1 skill cycle and at most 2 pillars to kill her

[sonic willow]

you prep the rocks...

[quartz pendant]

I dont know how to position ops

That's my main issue

I just send them and hope for the best

😭

[hollow forum]

my man it's not that bad

what's your squad again

send me a ss rq

[quartz pendant]

Replace Nightingale with E1 lappland

I'm having Mudrock hold left side

Courier, Exu, Cant, and Sipence on the right side

[sonic willow]

eyja + saria should be enough for right
mudrock for left

[hollow forum]

you uh, got a gravel?

[quartz pendant]

Where would I even put Mynlar in the middle

Yeah but not like

Built at all

[hollow forum]

doesn't really matter, e1 lvl 1 will do

[quartz pendant]

I'll replace lap with her than

[turbid badge]

lmao turret chaining

aw man almost died

[hollow forum]

you see the 2 rows of grates in the middle

place mlynar on the 2nd row of grates, right side next to the pillar and the right blue box

have someone stand next to him on the left, literally anyone

when mandra gets close she'll be on the left side first, thus attacking whoever it is that's on the left

[tidal sedge]

Kroos is always nice to have in an is squad right?

[hollow forum]

can't go wrong with her, but if you have better options, then why not use those instead

[tidal sedge]

Hope

H o p e

[hollow forum]

oh it's is2, should've mentioned that bud

[tidal sedge]

I did

[hollow forum]

then yeah, kroos is fine to always pick

guess I am just blind

[tidal sedge]

Maybe wording was a bit wonky

I just said is not is2

Sorry

[hollow forum]

but regardless, yeah, kroos is always a fine choice to pick if you want to save hope / out of hope

[tidal sedge]

ok

[hollow forum]

if you can get spinach or pasta for her then even better

or +aspd

[tidal sedge]

I also have a complete lack of other aas lol

may isn't built because I'm broke rn

[hollow forum]

who else do you have

[sweet flower]

help me this stage

[hollow forum]

what's your roster looking like

or what squad are you using

[sweet flower]

only 6*?

[quartz pendant]

Do I make him face up or left

[hollow forum]

up

[tidal sedge]

May is better than kroos right?

[hollow forum]

which 6*s

I can't come up with a strategy if I don't know what options you have available

[astral oyster]

I mean for early game ofc

[sweet flower]

I'm farming lmd for mudrock anyways

[tidal sedge]

meteor?

[hollow forum]

sure is

[astral oyster]

She also decent for her armor break ability

Iirc?

[tidal sedge]

K

Ye

Percentage of minus defense

[sweet flower]

my may still lv1

[astral oyster]

5* snipers are mostly decent

[tidal sedge]

No 5 star sniper

[astral oyster]

U can consider borrow mlynar and activate his skill when manfred gets bombarded since this stage doesnt give manfred buffs right?

[sweet flower]

cannot
somehow that londinium sucks

[astral oyster]

What are you struggling on this stage?

[hollow forum]

dude doesn't really have any options to tank the cannon

I'm pretty sure an e1 mud won't survive

[timber hinge]

which ops good partner for stainless? (Please include future ops)

[astral oyster]

In theory everyone since his skill can sp battery

I heard gg is very good for stainless s2

[gleaming furnace]

what is the issue with that stage? seems like you have enough to clear it, you can borrow someone to make it more easier too.

[sweet flower]

i
cannot
i have skill issue so i always fail

[astral oyster]

Can gavi survive that am curious

[hollow forum]

with s3, probably?

I've actually never tested that, might have to go and do that

[sweet flower]

gavi have 2661 hp if i remember

and i only m3 s2

[astral oyster]

Doesnt she have a ifrsme skill or smtg?

[hollow forum]

she doesn't

[astral oyster]

What does her s3 do again?

Always heard ppl use s2 only

[quartz pendant]

Not working

Second phase still butchers me

[hollow forum]

did you not use the pillars at all or what

like, by the time she's close to mlynar she should be dead

[gleaming furnace]

you can leak some enemies especially the one that increase block count, so your can put bait in the middle lane.

let me test some stuff with similar squad..

[sweet flower]

did they deplete block counts

[astral oyster]

U can always use the guardmiya stall strat for phase 1

[hollow forum]

ATK +140%, ASPD +100, Block +2; While this skill is active, this unit only takes 50% of incoming damage, with the remaining amount dealt as HP loss over 20 seconds after this skill ends

yeah nvm, it doesn't help one bit

[astral oyster]

No they increase block count

[sweet flower]

no i mean
they deplete block counts when go to blue box

[astral oyster]

Ofc they still decrease your hp

[quartz pendant]

I have to quickly get a third op to the left side cause there's always stragglers, and I miss the timing to get the pillars ready

I can land 1 pillars + mylnars skills but once phase 2 happens, she knocks the rest of the pillars and I get swarmed/my ops nuked

This is what happens every time

[astral oyster]

If u have guardmiya (lvl 30 needed) u can stall mandroga on top right with 2 ST healers

[quartz pendant]

When do I get her?

[hollow forum]

son, you have kaltsit

you can literally murder her phase 1 with mon3tr alone before she can even start moving down the middle lane

[quartz pendant]

I was doing Chapter 7

[hollow forum]

chapter 8, finish JT8-2 with amiya in the squad

[quartz pendant]

But then I got told to get to Chapter 11

[astral oyster]

Actually can kal in theory solo mandroga

Since mandroga is physical and art dmg reduced only right?

[sweet flower]

who just say that

[astral oyster]

Idk but i too would recommend rush to ch 11

[sweet flower]

amiya guard
only appear when you clear JT8-2

and for me it sucks

[astral oyster]

I mean i dont have any guards for a long time so shes a godsent for me

[hollow forum]

who wouldn't say that, esp if the person in question has a squad that's capable of doing it

[sweet flower]

💀

[gleaming furnace]

use better strats. 1 pillar for phase 1, 3 pillar for phase 2.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586588958885150721/1101680191350255680/image.png

place your operator correctly and prepare the rock so mandra don't use it for your operator.

[sweet flower]

when i can clear 10-17

[astral oyster]

Whats actually the problem with that stage u keep saying u cant clear it but what are u struggling about in that stage?

[hollow forum]

^

[quartz pendant]

I'll try but if I have to set Saria and Eyja in specific spots, now's the time to tell me cause I always have to set courier out in the worst possible times when I get a straggler

[astral oyster]

Cannon agro?

[hollow forum]

and saying skill issue isn't helping btw

[astral oyster]

Or manfred

[quartz pendant]

I'd rather 2 star this than go for 3 star

[hollow forum]

exu, eyja and saria should be able to deal with most of the stuff fine

[gleaming furnace]

you can place eyja or saria in other place.

[sweet flower]

i
keep stucking when manfred appear

[gleaming furnace]

or can you show your squad ?

[astral oyster]

Ok so your problem is manfred ~~ i recommend borrow ling for that 4 block dragon ~~

[quartz pendant]

I replaced nighting with gravel like told but yeah, I'm still having trouble trying to set up the pillars cause I'm always having 1 straggler

[hollow forum]

also, what's the mod level on chen

[quartz pendant]

1 cause no lmd or the mat to get it higher

I can just do 1 level up and that would make it level 2

[hollow forum]

that's fine

then you should be able to kill mandra phase 1 even easier then with her S3 and kaltsit

[quartz pendant]

Not able

Timing is too late or too early, I can't set pillars ready cause I gotta set mudrock after I get the points

Which makes me miss the timing for first pillar to use with bomb

[gleaming furnace]

try something like this, later redeploy surtr on B4. Don't deploy exu too early if you haven't use rock on G5

[gleaming furnace]

if your early timing suck bring more low dp operator just to break the pillar

i use gravel, yato, rangers to prepare the rock

[quartz pendant]

I don't have those leveled up at all

Let alone have Irene

I skipped alot of banners cause I didn't know if they're worth it or not, or I didn't like their designs

[gleaming furnace]

you can ignore irene, may, blem. They are for other lane. for middle lane i just use mlynar, gravel, yato, rangers, durin.

and you can borrow mlynar. the point is you can use low dp cost operator to prepare the rock

[quartz pendant]

Yeah still not work even with low operators

[hollow forum]

and what exactly isn't working this time

[quartz pendant]

Low ops don't prep the pillars fast enough and when I have Mynlar and Gavel set to get her ready, her aoe attacks wipes kal and mont3r before killing Mynlar and gavel

I'm legit screwed the moment phase two happens no matter what I've tried

[hollow forum]

tell me how you managed to kill her phase 1 again

and where you killed her

[quartz pendant]

Red x is where she died, yellow and gold are gavel and Mylnar, greens are Kal'stit and mont3r

After that, Phase 2 gets rid of them and I'm left with my pants down

Blue are the rocks I manage to have fall down

[gleaming furnace]

wait why it takes more than 1 rock for her phase 1 ?

[hollow forum]

yeah there's the issue

you're killing her phase 1 way too late

[quartz pendant]

Than where the hell do I put the ops???

I set mudrock and eyla like show along with saria and Exu

But Kal'stit I'm confused where exactly and gavel and Mylnar is where I'm told

[hollow forum]

literally put mon3tr at the very top lane and kill her there

and I mean that literally

at the very top

[quartz pendant]

Like where she spawns, next to the first rock?????

Very top doesn't help cause theres plenty of spots in the very top

[hollow forum]

yeah

first you place mon3tr next to the red box

to camp and get early damage in

then drop the pillar once she goes past it

[quartz pendant]

Alright, let's see if this run will be different brb

[hollow forum]

if she doesn't die, place mon3tr down again and keep her from going downwards and maybe chen with s3 as well if you have the DP for it

that'll kill

[gleaming furnace]

in case you don't know, you can prepare the pillar before hand

just hit it until it crack, retreat your operator

[quartz pendant]

That's what I've been doing

[gleaming furnace]

then deploy another one again later when you want to use it.

[quartz pendant]

Hitting until they crack butmy low dp ops are level 1 so they're not doing a lot to break them in time

Alright I may be deploying my ops in the wrong order if that's a thing

But here's how I do it

1. Exu
2. Saria
3. Yato on left rock
4. Kal'stit
5. Mont3r
6. Mudrock but by the time I have the dp, two dogs made it to my blue square so I restart

That's as far as I can get right now,

Before I would place yato and ranger AFTER I set down mudrock and Kal'stit

[gleaming furnace]

why not deploy your vg?

[quartz pendant]

My what?

[hollow forum]

vanguard

[gleaming furnace]

you can deploy saileach, courier, exu, deploy gravel for top left rock, yato for middle right, rangers for bottom left, retreat when yato cracks the rock, then yato and rangers

[hollow forum]

where's your saileach at

[quartz pendant]

Bottom left or at right if I need to slow down a dog (doesn't work she has 1 block)

Idk why you guys want me to 3* star this but I'm not gonna 3* this any time soon

[gleaming furnace]

you can easily clear it with 3 *

[hollow forum]

because what's the point if you don't 3*

and yeah

your team is capable of doing it

[gleaming furnace]

can you copy this squad ?

i don't have low lv eyja/gg so i use click, also no saileach so i use myrtle. but im sure gg/eyja or saileach should be better

gravel at low lv is fine.

if you can i will screenrecord my run

if not i will swap to weaker squad.

[quartz pendant]

Do you guys play this shit on PC or on mobile cause idk how the fuck you timed it all perfectly in order to 3*, I'm genuinely getting so mad at this map 💀

[hollow forum]

I cleared it on mobile perfectly fine.

[quartz pendant]

But I'll see if I can copy that squad but the levels are not gonna be the same

I don't level up a lot of ops

[hollow forum]

well maybe you should now

it's not like you're gonna be spending your mats on that much while waiting for kaltsit alter anyway

[gleaming furnace]

other than fewer less lv for saria and exu i think other are comparable.

[storm current]

you can use emu for PC

altho

9-19 is pretty easy

enemies dont have that much stat

[storm current]

just annoying mechanic

[quartz pendant]

1. I'm homeless
2. Don't care for PC

[storm current]

you technically can use exu against 380 def mandrake too

mandrake tankiness is from dmg reduction and high hp

[quartz pendant]

I still managed to kill her phase 1 too late cause Mylnar to die

I'm gonna 100% ignore chapter 9 and just go back to doing the story from 7

Not gonna waste my weekend focusing on 1 map

[upbeat lynx]

hmmm is H9-5 bugged, the fireballs just decide not to follow the path and instead go into the pillar ruins on the bottom

[gleaming furnace]

no don't use click, use eyja or gg, she is better. also don't use myrtle, use saileach instead.

idk why you don't use vg at all but it is really easy if you use vg. im sure you have enough dp

for my run, i forgot to stall statue enemies so they leak. but don't copy that part

should stall enemies a little bit longer, redeploy mlynar and kill them with mlynar

[latent anvil]

not a bug

[quartz pendant]

Idk who the FUCK is VG

[gleaming furnace]

https://youtu.be/45g6IvtwqEM

vg is vanguard

[latent anvil]

vanguard

[hollow forum]

vanguard, my man

[quartz pendant]

I'm not good with names

[gleaming furnace]

this class produce dp, so you can deploy more operator faster

[upbeat lynx]

then what the hell is happening, in the guides i'm watching the fireball just keeps going right (to where spot is), not into the pillar ruins to open the path

[gleaming furnace]

fill 1 last spot with whoever you like

maybe someone that can help with statue enemies

[latent anvil]

uh

[gleaming furnace]

also deploy exu earlier so no enemies leak

[latent anvil]

pillar splitbox

[upbeat lynx]

considering im following the guide exactly how it is and the fireball is just randomly deciding to detonate there instead of following its pathing, its def a bug

[quartz pendant]

I'll record how I'm doing it cause I'm pretty sure I'm doing what you guys have done with your own squads

[latent anvil]

go ahead

[gleaming furnace]

sure, let me know if you still have some issues

[turbid badge]

oh ur still on 9-19

u borrowi my mlynar

[quartz pendant]

I'm borrowing someone's maxed Mlynar

This game just has dog ass mechanics

[latent anvil]

[quartz pendant]

6 minutes for the video

[latent anvil]

Ignore the leak

just replicate tihs

im sure you have surtr ntrk eun

spalt

[hollow forum]

[latent anvil]

thorns even

[hollow forum]

I'm sure you're gonna have a grand ol time when you eventually get to M8-8

or JT8-3

[latent anvil]

ch9 before ch8

[quartz pendant]

I'll uninstall
