Chapter 11 mobs are fine for the most part

#

Except the tanks and the dogs

#

Also the casters but they are only an issue in H11-1

the wither tanks that came in pairs were sure somethijgRedOmegaLul

unironically using her for stun

Before I understood how the kidnappers worked I kept running out of dp and loosing cause they stole my mudrock

turbid badge
gentle finch
#

me when enemy info exists

turbid badge
#

mfw

gentle finch
#

don't worry i don't read them either

#

i only read them for wither tanks and found out they can't target ranged

turbid badge
#

yea

#

Thankfully i had mizuki

#

i think they just gassed him the whole time

gentle finch
#

Angelina ↑↑

#

her uptime too good

#

i heard dusk S2 would kill them as well

near folio
#

Oh wither tanks cant target ranged with gas bomb?

turbid badge
#

Nope

gentle finch
#

lmao

turbid badge
#

People just spam kill

#

Spawn

gentle finch
#

ok im on floor 5

coarse aspen
#

I would see mudrock get knapped, place surtr, then place mud again and -80dp and now surtr on cooldown

turbid badge
#

in h11-4

near folio
#

That makes it easier

gentle finch
#

damn these stages are fucking beautiful

#

oh, lingering echoes mobs

#

lmao i forgot what they do

#

time to stop blogging, I'll come back when some guy needs help

elder flume
#

does tree count as building entity or just static enemies

#

im assuming latter

turbid badge
#

Just try with firewatch Module

#

eh well

sonic willow
turbid badge
#

U can pull the tree

#

But it does nothing

#

so probably the ladder

soft crystal
#

Thinking about it phantom mod y has some anti synergy with how phantom works

sonic willow
elder flume
soft crystal
#

Have to space out the clone with phantom to get the base effect of the mod

gentle finch
#

Does yato S2 not suffer from aspd debuff given by mirage

sonic willow
#

Hmm

turbid badge
#

Could u even pull Not awaken dv robots

#

No right?

#

Or even push them

soft crystal
#

Unless they make the clone op af

elder flume
#

nop but u can make other enemies stuck inside them KaltSip

turbid badge
#

lol

elder flume
#

just need a tree next to a wall

gentle finch
#

I've got one HP

#

I think I'm fucked

turbid badge
#

hmm

#

Is there any other enemies like the DV robots

elder flume
cosmic dagger
#

so she truly just doesnt care

soft crystal
#

Yeah s2 has cc immunity

#

Kinda like in mh

#

Blade dance has super armor

Ls cant trip you as you dance

#

aw u cant freeze them

tidal sedge
#

Hmm

#

I wonder how good Mizuki s3 would be there

turbid badge
#

lmao u can bind them

#

it totally does something

#

i dont think u could bind the unactivated Dv robots but i could be wrong

gentle finch
#

I hope I win

#

I definetly lost

livid delta
#

Mizuki s3 honestly pretty fun in is3

#

Only because of enemy density

#

And since some maps are small

#

Like he's almost always guaranteed to hit the minimum to prevent hp loss

soft crystal
#

Didnt know mizu s2 would gain one more bind target with mod2

livid delta
turbid badge
soft crystal
#

Ive been using s1 for a while

#

I shpuld m9 mizuki

gentle finch
#

Mm
Ines would be cracked with redeployment time relics

#

need to try for that some time

turbid badge
#

m3 use real

turbid badge
#

Agents only need 1 -40

#

-30

#

And Yato

free 6 star !?

soft crystal
#

I mean its been talked

#

Is2 mizuki start isnt bad either too

#

Like mizuki works in a lot of is2 maps

dusky wolf
#

i dont know how to use her wait her or him ?

soft crystal
#

Just put him somewhere with s2 and use s2 on cd

#

Win

tidal sedge
#

Hibifier usage. Nice.

soft crystal
#

Or s1 if youre lazy

#

Hibi honestly sux

#

Just a caster with snpier range

tidal sedge
#

Simple doesn't mean bad

soft crystal
#

She doesnt have enough fire power to cover for a casters role nor the consistent healing output to cover for a medic

turbid badge
#

i like to use her at the start

tidal sedge
#

I retract my compliment

soft crystal
#

Its just temp op hibi

#

She cute tho

turbid badge
#

but yeah later stages she doesnt preform to well

soft crystal
limpid siren
#

i think it's easy to say she's bad when most of what you do is abuse 6*s

soft crystal
#

So true

#

I should be placing her more like a caster rather than trying to cover for medic too

#

Cause her healing just not great

pale orchid
limpid siren
#

she's fine

#

that category is pretty big though

soft crystal
#

I like some 5 stars

pale orchid
#

Shamare my beloved

limpid siren
pale orchid
#

So much value from raising her

tidal sedge
#

Hibifier seems a bit polarizing which is interesting, Arkhy didn't like her either

latent monolith
#

My most used 5 star is like warfarin

#

I use both 4 and 6 stars more

turbid badge
#

I only use her s2 for slow and stuff

soft crystal
#

Bp is my most used 5 star

#

Then Kaze

#

Kaze is great

limpid siren
#

i like hibiscus

pale orchid
#

Probably Lappland and then shamare

limpid siren
#

i just don't feel a burning need for her anywhere

turbid badge
#

mine is bena or beeswax

pale orchid
#

Jack of all trades, master of none

limpid siren
#

i don't think it's really an issue

storm current
#

I used ptilopsis a lot

#

And unironically

#

Used her for sp battery

limpid siren
#

people that don't really use 5*s weren't going to change their mind anyway

storm current
limpid siren
#

people that do, she's another tool in the box

#

it's what it's

tidal sedge
#

For me Hibifier hits a certain gameplay aesthetic of not doing too much nor too little while being a hybrid, but she's not notable in terms of desirability for exactly those reasons.

soft crystal
#

Wish manticore didnt feel redundant

latent monolith
#

Maybe I am part of the rarity abuse problem seeing my chapter 11 and NL squads SkadiDaijoubu

storm current
#

Oh ye

halcyon adder
#

Hmm

storm current
#

I used cantabile and ptilo a lot nowadays

#

Even with 6* cuz they are really comfy

halcyon adder
#

I am fine with 6 stars on the level of chong yue and such

latent monolith
#

Not at all coincidentally AW and NL rerun are my first events where I didn't touch guides at all

soft crystal
#

Dont feel guilty about rarity abusing

pale orchid
#

Oh yeah I forgot how much I abuse canta

soft crystal
halcyon adder
#

Anything stronger than ching yue feels too strong

latent monolith
#

I abused canta for NL but didn't use her for chapter 11

turbid badge
#

Man my canta is still e1 im using her in trust farm teams lmao

#

sonce not max trust

latent monolith
#

Most of my NL squads were canta siege myrtle, a couple stages I used ely too

storm current
#

i like cantabile

turbid badge
#

her s1 feels better to play than s2

soft crystal
#

Sounds like bagpipeless issue

storm current
#

no

turbid badge
#

maybe since i like the instant dp and redeploy

latent monolith
#

I own bagpipe

storm current
#

i have bagpipe pot6

#

i just dont run bagpipe

turbid badge
#

I just like how i can just get her out and than get her back when i need/not need her

#

And the attack buff is pretty high

gentle finch
#

my most used 5* is warfarin

#

la pluma in second

Only took 300 sanity to farm mats for pinecone e2

Blue woman ExuHyperStare

storm current
#

cantabile is such a great pick

gentle finch
#

oof

lethal dragon
#

I wish I could pick her

storm current
#

since flagbearer become dead after you deploy the rest of your team

#

but cantabile isnt

gentle finch
#

just use iens

#

ines

lethal dragon
#

Based

turbid badge
gentle finch
#

It's very good

turbid badge
#

you 90d her right

gentle finch
#

yeah

#

M6

storm current
#

i think the optimal play between the 2 would be

#

e2 1 cantabile

#

e2 max ines

#

because whatever job you use for dps go to ines

#

while canta print dp faster

gentle finch
#

mhm

storm current
#

but i e2 max cantabile anyway

#

so i dont think i want ines

gentle finch
#

i really like the free slow on S3

#

it's just a comfort thing though

#

most times i prefer S2 or s1

turbid badge
#

Yea agents are pretty fun i like the FRDP aspect of their kit alott

lethal dragon
#

Need Ines for reveal

livid delta
#

honestly I've been using Ines for bind

gentle finch
#

yeah

#

it's really nice

latent monolith
livid delta
#

I didn't think I'd use it that much but locking ops in place in areas where Texas can't reach is pretty handy

#

for 5 seconds too?

#

bonkers

turbid badge
#

how much dp is she

gentle finch
#

uh

#

mine is 11 iirc

sonic willow
#

1 more than canta 💀

livid delta
#

wait I just realized her sentinel reduces speed too

#

it's like a lot of nuanced things in her kit that seemingly don't feel impactful

#

but overall make her surprisingly handy in a lot of weird places

gentle finch
#

yeah

soft crystal
#

She feels like the Saileach of Agents

turbid badge
#

😂

gentle finch
#

her S2 range is really comfy too

livid delta
#

except more fun cause she zips around the map

soft crystal
#

Saileach stands pretty

turbid badge
gentle finch
#

lanehold low.pressure

soft crystal
#

Also 10 aspd debuff

gentle finch
#

but anyone can do that

livid delta
#

true but

latent monolith
livid delta
#

in SSS

gentle finch
#

!

latent monolith
#

I'll probably try for her

#

But I also want mumu

livid delta
#

she keeps her hp% total high cause the enemies don't get near her

#

so you have more time to shuffle your deck before swapping her out

gentle finch
#

truly amazing

Ok it's 2am I'm gonna sleep

#

@limpid siren I'm curious, what are your thoughts on ch 11? I'm having mixed feelings on it from what I've played so far, just got done with 11-15

limpid siren
#

i've really enjoyed it tbh

#

it's nice to take simple and straight up fights sometimes

tidal sedge
#

Hm. Maybe my break has dulled my ability to read maps. It felt a bit frustrating until like 11-8 or so.

limpid siren
#

i've had the added constraint of a weirdo team, which has pushed me further away from brute forcing the harder stages

#

the early maps in the chapter weren't very memorable to me

#

looking back through though, there's a few funny ones

#

11-6 gave me a chuckle

tidal sedge
#

Enemy density seems pretty high in a lot of stages

limpid siren
#

i like the passive pressure that the twigs apply

tidal sedge
#

I notice few big lulls in engagements

#

Up until these last few at least

limpid siren
#

11-15 is definitely one of the hardest regular stages in the chapter

tidal sedge
#

Not that it's a bad thing necessarily

#

Hm, really?

#

I guess Eben's ability to single out the rockets was more useful than I expected

limpid siren
#

yeah

#

if you don't have a tidy way to handle the launchers

#

you spend a long time getting pummelled by them

tidal sedge
#

Along with Mizuki being able to clear the twigs without being eaten

near folio
limpid siren
#

i think 11-15 really drives home how ranged-favoured the chapter is

near folio
#

For H stages all of them are hard except H11-2

limpid siren
#

especially considering that devourers have 0 def until they eat

#

marksman food

near folio
soft crystal
#

11-15 didnt feel hard cause mlynar abuse

pale orchid
tidal sedge
soft crystal
#

Yeah well if he didnt exist i can see why though

limpid siren
#

~30k

turbid badge
#

really need arts

tidal sedge
#

Okay so I should have used s3

limpid siren
#

yeah

tidal sedge
#

I imagine Krooster slaps them then

limpid siren
#

kroos can kill two in one cycle

near folio
#

But this chapter has one mob that defies all odds

#

The Roteater

limpid siren
#

bp will barely get through one iirc

pale orchid
turbid badge
near folio
#

The dog can solo 95% of the game's roster

near folio
limpid siren
#

rotchasers are the dogs

turbid badge
#

No

#

those are rotchaser

near folio
#

Oh

pale orchid
#

Well bring a medic…

near folio
#

Rotchaser

turbid badge
#

Loll

near folio
tidal sedge
#

Maybe what got me was unfamiliarity with the enemies until stuff clicked at around 11-8

near folio
#

Its an unbelievable early mob

#

Absolute nightmare in H11-4

limpid siren
#

i like the enemy cast for this chapter

near folio
limpid siren
#

ch10's enemy cast was all a big amorphous blob to me

near folio
#

The dogs did not need to exist

limpid siren
#

since it was mostly tied into the cannon

#

which is fine

near folio
#

Even Mountain has trouble trying to kill a dog

limpid siren
#

ch10 was great, too

near folio
#

And phantom + clone loses to dog as well

tidal sedge
#

Hm. Can Hibifier turn off the dog's ability

near folio
limpid siren
#

hibiscus will work

#

it's regen that doesn't turn it off

tidal sedge
#

Nice. Maybe that's why they weren't that big of a deal to me then

soft crystal
#

Honestly the block slugs of c10 was fun

near folio
#

Its not the dog's ability that makes it oppressive

#

Its A atk with arts damage

#

The ability is just the cherry on top

soft crystal
#

Playing with the canon is fun too

turbid badge
#

i love the 1.8 ASPD interval

near folio
#

Steam Knight is a fun boss though

soft crystal
#

Chapter 9 was cool with the pillars

tidal sedge
#

I think I'll replay some of the earlier ch 11 stages later and see what I think with all this in mind

near folio
limpid siren
#

have you tried out dagda at all?

soft crystal
#

Thats also cool

near folio
#

Mandragora is an awful boss

tidal sedge
#

I've been borrowing a Dagda every map

soft crystal
#

Mandra is a good boss imo

near folio
#

In H9-6 you probably already use 2 pillars to set up middle lane

limpid siren
#

what do you think of her?

near folio
#

Leaving 2 to use for mandra

tidal sedge
#

She's a bit more prone to dying than I expected with how her 2nd talent reads, but I'm probably being too stingy with supporting her.

near folio
#

And phase 2 sandstorm killing all your ranged ops as she passes through wasnt fun either

soft crystal
#

I have rarity abuse brain so idk, it was not bad for me when ng can just stall mandra

near folio
#

And lets not forget her barrier with the levitate

tidal sedge
#

Dropping healers earlier is part of what made the maps more manageable, and part of why I'm liking Hibifier these maps

soft crystal
#

Then phase 2 just gets killed with 1 pillar

near folio
#

If you dont have the top meta dps dont even think about trying to attack her phase 2 under barrier

limpid siren
#

i agree that dagda's life leech is a lot weaker than i expected

#

i remember doing the paper maths on it and feeling suspicious about how high it was

near folio
#

I mean I can always cheese mandra by slamming her with pozy and mlynar

#

But that would just mean im not respecting the bosses

#

But mandragora doesnt deserve my respect

limpid siren
#

i mostly just use dagda as a souped-up charger anyway

near folio
#

Do you think Jaye can 1v1 a rotchaser and come out alive?

soft crystal
#

I use whatever gets the job done

#

mountain does fine

near folio
limpid siren
#

i'm okay with leaving her in lanes that she's chewing up tbh

near folio
#

Even Blemishine with a healer can barely kill a rotchaser

turbid badge
#

huh

#

what

#

use s2?

limpid siren
#

i haven't noticed her desperately needing the stacks, but i guess this is kinda hard to measure until you really push her

turbid badge
#

she kills just fine for me

near folio
#

I mean she can but you need to press the skills

#

They also tested phantom on the rotchaser

#

And with clone splitboxing even he cant kill it

soft crystal
limpid siren
#

it's satisfying to watch how fast she can dump damage onto enemies too

near folio
#

What is this abomination?

soft crystal
#

Common phantom L

limpid siren
#

i'm here for that kinda nonsense

tidal sedge
#

Also I can understand Paprika/Chain Medic design given the chapter mechanics. The corruption stuff spreads a lot of chip around

limpid siren
#

does paprika have mt medic range?

tidal sedge
#

Yes

limpid siren
#

i think they just

near folio
#

This chapter is roberta showcase

limpid siren
#

like idk why they did the same thing of adding such a vicious drop-off to the bounces

#

it's the exact same mistake they made for chain casters

turbid badge
#

holy crap

#

mountain actually gets pretty low

#

arts moment

near folio
soft crystal
#

Well they probably overcorrected cause they thought giving too much healing output with the flat heal talents would be op

halcyon adder
#

Mountain will die if u don't heal him

turbid badge
soft crystal
#

"Op"

limpid siren
turbid badge
#

for blemi she could do 2 dogs

#

cause defensive charge spam sleep

#

and she heal

halcyon adder
#

Blemi s2 can solo all dogs most likely

tidal sedge
#

The drop off is very harsh ye, Paprika talent being dedicated to bypassing it while being the first chain medic should've been a red flag to design.

turbid badge
#

Too bad vore guys go that lane too

soft crystal
#

Well its hg

limpid siren
#

ultimately her performance isn't really a factor for me

soft crystal
#

They made stuff like angelina module

limpid siren
#

i have 5 medics heavily invested into already

#

no need for another pure healer

pale orchid
turbid badge
pale orchid
#

Gladiia I’m pretty satisfied with her performance

limpid siren
#

i mean yeah, that's cool and all

soft crystal
#

I should have honestly used exu in h11-4

limpid siren
soft crystal
#

As she shreds a lot of threats in there

tidal sedge
#

But trying her out I do see the bouncing around allowing some pretty far reach with the corruption

#

Oh right

near folio
#

Does Paprika have similar output to ST medic on the first target?

turbid badge
#

Yea?

limpid siren
#

isn't her base atk lower?

somber falcon
tidal sedge
#

Yeah Silence clowns on her, I can't argue that

limpid siren
#

silence is a mean comparison tbh

soft crystal
near folio
#

I see

limpid siren
#

i haven't been able to use her yet

#

but when i give up on this silly team

#

i'm sure silence will do some good work

near folio
#

Paprika will probably only be used when ranged tiles are restrictive

#

The ST medic range is pretty good

soft crystal
#

Nah, ptilopsis also has range extension

#

And silence has deployable dro e

#

Drone

tidal sedge
#

My e1 55 Paprika has 403 atk. My e1 60 Silence has 468 atk

near folio
#

Thats why you would need a lot of tile restrictions before even considering using paprika

tidal sedge
#

So about 15%~ weaker

turbid badge
#

the last enemy she chain heals for so little, module come Bnuuy

soft crystal
#

The talent will cover the difference

near folio
#

Well

#

Healer is healer

turbid badge
#

fairAmiyaCry

soft crystal
#

Shes a pure healer with nothing else

turbid badge
#

She targets lowest Hp right

soft crystal
#

No

turbid badge
#

hm? hows does her Targetting prio work

soft crystal
#

Wait i mean yes

turbid badge
#

Oh

soft crystal
#

I foegot we are talking about healers

tidal sedge
#

How the bouncing targets I've yet to fully test

turbid badge
#

idk the issue i have with Paprika will likely heal the closer Operators to full first, then be unable to keep healing the Operators who are outside of her range. And if you just place all Operators within her healing range, you might as well be using an AoE Medic,

soft crystal
#

She can have pretty good output when underpressure with her talent

turbid badge
#

Yea i guess

soft crystal
#

But ptilopsis does the same thing anyways

storm current
#

btw about paprika

#

same average hps if 3 target

soft crystal
#

Compare 4 with 4

tidal sedge
#

I feel it's worth noting Perf s2 and Paprika s2 have very different cycles

storm current
#

4 target mean perfumer perform better

soft crystal
#

Paprika gets extra bounce

storm current
#

since chain penalty

soft crystal
#

Just want to see tho

storm current
#

uh

latent anvil
#

Why's my viktorlab never load btw

soft crystal
#

How worse

storm current
#

perfumer target 4 tho

soft crystal
storm current
#

kind of same cycle if s1 perfumer

soft crystal
#

You can eat paprika but you cant eat perfumer

limpid siren
#

quitter talk

soft crystal
livid delta
#

now compare Ptilopsis s2 with Perfumer s2 vs 10 units

soft crystal
#

Anyone e2ing highmorb when is3 decides to exist

storm current
#

i do

#

totally not to cope with lack of pluma

livid delta
#

maybe I'll instant e2 80 her

#

but I already have her built on another account

#

hmm

soft crystal
#

Highmorb s1 irght

#

S1m3

livid delta
#

Sure

tidal sedge
#

E2 80 m6

#

Though with my lmd the e2 80 part might take a bit

glass monolith
#

I have infinite guard chips after doing specialist ones, so might as well

#

Mostly for lulz

Hmm with la pluma already maxed I don't see much point

Will borrow a Max one and decide afterwards

What's the last 6 mobs in H11-4?

#

I assume they come after phase 1 of steam knight

storm current
#

just vore monster and fog shooting machina iirc

#

3 each?

storm current

yes

How is the vore monster pathing like?

same as other

Goesnaround

storm current
#

walk around each stair

#

before going to blue box

glass monolith
#

One go left, one go right, other does SPIIIIN on middle

near folio
#

I have finally figured it out

#

Leaked the steam knight on accident

#

I wasnt paying attention to steam knight when he used his steam punch

#

Which side do the roteaters go?

#

Do the ones on the left go left and the ones on the right go right?

glass monolith
#

they should march to same box as their side i think

near folio
#

Ok good

#

Looks like Blemi and Ange are all I need this time

glass monolith
#

i myself killed 2 trees early before they get much power, and then killed other 2 during boss stall, but it was close call because they were around 80% power FiaDed

near folio
#

I wonder if I should just fight 2 full power roteaters on the right side at the end

#

I have shamare, roberta and cuora tanking there with 2 healers

#

I dont think I can handle the right roteaters while also stalling steam knight

#

H11-4 is actually not bad

#

Aside from the early dog rush

But fuck whoever made this first dog

is texalter still considered a Columbia character?

It depends what metric you use ig
They're technically correct, texas' place of birth is columbia

If you're not record hunting, then it's up to you what factor defines if the operator is or isn't on the table

Im mainly using a very lenient metric

Well i can't give much good tips at it FiaDed
She is great after second promotion which is not fastest thing in the world (about 2-3 weeks assuming you didn't amass right materials from events). Being the 6* she is taking more materials than leveling other rarities.
Before second promotion she is just Texas (You will gain 1 for free for finishing mission board thingy) with more stats and some dodge.
For progression boost you can get second promotion on some 4* operator to unlock friend support as ALOT of stuff in AK can be resolved with 1 OP friend support

I could use some kind of strategy for phantom IS2

frozen plover
#

Block phantom at his first stall point

soft crystal
#

Nah no need to block

frozen plover
#

Put 2 big dragons

#

And pozy

soft crystal
#

Pozy and mlynar will delete

frozen plover
#

Done

near folio
left rune
#

Ah I should've picked Horn

frozen plover
#

You can use pozy to kill the dancers but mind the placement

left rune
#

Though no S3 ig

left rune
frozen plover
#

The problem with using mlynar to kill phantom is his dodge

#

You might get unlucky

#

If your pozy has module you should be fine

soft crystal
#

Mlynar+pozy can easy get through the dodge

frozen plover
#

Yea then he has no dancer killers

soft crystal
#

Well pozy can be facing dancers

frozen plover
#

How?

left rune
#

Pozy also has the turret ig

soft crystal
#

Face right

frozen plover
#

Then she wont ignore dodge

soft crystal
#

Turret will help on killing phantom

#

Or other way around

near folio
#

Generally I think its a bad idea to let the dancers out of the right section

soft crystal
#

Pozy will not attack off skill but kroos, turret and her will make work of the dancers

near folio
#

Cause that's when the stage starts to get bad and you start triggering their aspd buff one by one on the mobs and they start steamrolling you

frozen plover
#

Fat chance

soft crystal
#

You can get 2 activations of pozy s3

frozen plover
#

The turret and kroos alone isnt killing 20+ dancers

soft crystal
#

No pozy will be there too

near folio
#

Or S1

soft crystal
#

Just activate s3 on cd

frozen plover
#

It aint enough

#

You need to kill them fast so the atk speed buff doesnt fk you

soft crystal
#

Itll be enough

#

Trust

left rune

👀

near folio
#

Just use s1 or s2 pozy

left rune
#

As fast as I'm aware

soft crystal
#

Nah s3

#

Definitely s3

left rune
#

S3 Pozy is enough

frozen plover
#

Its not

#

Well

#

Use pozy and turret for right

near folio
#

S3 downtime will screw it up

frozen plover
#

2 ling dragons and mlynar for phantom and pray

soft crystal
#

S2 also has downtime

#

Pozy s3 on the right

#

When he spawns hell get damaged too by pozy and turret a little

#

By the time he chills on top you can put turret on top too

#

With mlynar on s3 schwinging

frozen plover
#

That boils down to RNG dodge

#

Dont like dealing with RNG

soft crystal
#

Its enough time to get some damage and 2 activations

near folio

Mlynar does like 100k+ damage

On average thats enough to take almost half of his hp

The main strat is grouping your units up

And use aoe medic

Since his missile basically split dmg

#

Also

near folio

So that means I space out perfumer out of the range of the bombardment

frozen plover

Uh

near folio

Then I plan to use 1 or 2 roberta devices to help blemi with tanking the missiles

Usually you would sack something to the second missile target

#

But in my strat I need my blemishine to live so she can block the last few dogs

indigo pulsar

My squad is very unhinged

But I think H11-4 is definitely possible since I already got to phase 2

storm current
#

wouldnt you use ange s2 for steamknight

#

as well as the dog/vore

near folio

Also to limit the damage I do on steam knight

soft crystal
#

Limit?

near folio
#

I have a setup where I can perma stall steam knight by cycling shamare and cuora skills

near folio
# soft crystal Limit?

Basically to control the damage I do on it so I dont trigger his aerial bombardment too early

#

My strat is to deal with all the mobs first, kill 2 trees on the left, then deal with steam knight and the last 2 trees on the right last

My account isnt very built actually

I was surprised at how possible it was to stall Steam Knight ngl

#

It wasnt like Manfred's ramping damage slowly catching up

#

But Steam Knight does have the aerial bombardment thresholds that make it harder to just nuke him

indigo pulsar
#

getting her to e1 isn't too expensive, and her attack debuff is pretty handy to have occasionally

near folio
#

Good thing Bubble exists

I just didnt build bubble since I already have cuora built

But using Spalter as main staller sort of makes thing weird

pale orchid

Oh I mean p1

near folio
#

1.6k physical + 600 arts every attack

pale orchid
#

P2 yeah it’s easier to go ham on him

near folio
#

I feel if AK really wants to make bosses these days harder they should focus less on their stats and damage reduction and focus more on mechanics like EB

#

Mandragora, Manfred and Steam Knight are ridiculously hard bosses for restricted teams not because of their mechanics but because of how crazy their stats are

jaunty bluff
#

can Skadi with AH buff tank the boss on H11-4?

#

with some healers

near folio
#

With some healer support I think she can

#

Actually

#

Maybe add more damage reduction with stainless devices

#

Steam Knight has increased stats in H11-4

#

One steam punch can oneshot my lappland even with roberta device

#

So each hit is around 2.5k damage

indigo pulsar
#

2700 x 3

near folio
#

Ok that makes more sense

#

I wonder if you can debuff steam knight's damage during aerial bombardment by dropping shamare doll at his spot

jaunty bluff
#

damn there's no abyssal hunter H11-4 videos on youtube.

#

Don't know what to type on bilibili to find such result

near folio
#

Im pretty sure if you add the two stainless turrets into the mix skadi can survive the steam punch

#

Cause we are totalling around 50% damage reduction

#

1350 per hit further reduced by skadi's defense

indigo pulsar
near folio
#

So around 1200 per hit

#

And Skadi has close to 4k hp

they borrowed nian at one point but didn't work out it seems

Yeah.

Nian worked once

but i forgot the dude from the trees at the end

got rekt

and after nian didn't worked, and i don't know why...

even tho it's the same nian.

#

that is kind of odd for nian to only work once though Bnuuy

did she have mod 3 and lvl 60+?

storm latch
#

no mod lvl 90

#

got whislash and shining on the field

indigo pulsar
#

did you change the placement of any of your other operators?

storm latch
#

i just guess it's like RNG...

#

somehow

indigo pulsar
#

pretty sure she can't survive without her module

hollow forum
#

you're probably better off looking for a 60+ nian with mod 3

storm latch
#

I'll try then.

hollow forum
#

with that, she can live without shining, regardless of skill on or off

storm latch
#

But do you have module on non friend support units ?

jaunty bluff
#

Okay so AH buff really work damn, with medics and support Skadi can stay tanking the big guy. Left side is easy to replace with other ops, maybe a GG, Eyja, or even chalter with a defender holding mobs.

hollow forum
#

ye

jaunty bluff
#

Now I just need to E2 my whole AH ExuHeart

indigo pulsar
#

you'd need godly skill timings if you want her to survive without her module though

hollow forum
#

no masteries, but you don't need it in this case since nian can tank off skill

storm latch
#

Cool... I guess i'll try again.

#

when i'll find the nian

hollow forum
#

though, if you have shining

you could try a maxed hoshi with mod 3

#

if you can find her, that is

storm latch
#

i got hoshi unlike nian

#

but never gave out masteries, same for module... and same for shining

#

so i think nian might be a less risky bet

hollow forum
#

then look for a mod 3 nian, and as long as she's level 60+ she should live

indigo pulsar
#

masteries aren't necessary and people who use an e2 60+ nian with module don't need to touch her skill

foggy grove
#

nian is a safer bet yes

storm latch
#

I'll just do that.

indigo pulsar
#

you can if you want to, it's just unnecessary since she'll survive due to her giant health pool

storm latch

when i'm finished farming defender chips.

btw quick question, Penance S3 is the best ?

of hers ?

honestly the issue im having is the things that start running when you hit them. i have no idea how to kill them

hollow forum

you stall them enough so that they die of cringe

edgy stag
#

how in the world do you stall them?

hollow forum
#

frds

#

usually gravel will do a fine enough job given their pathing

edgy stag
#

wont that stall them for like a second at most?

hollow forum
#

definitely way more than a second

#

it's common to let her stall until she gets stunned from elemental damage

#

and if that isn't enough, she'll be back quick enough for a 2nd round of stalling anyway

#

if you happen to own kafka, then even better

edgy stag
#

im just now sure how i can possibly stall these enemies while still killing the bosses with mlynar

#

the range on the nervous impairment is fucking insane

#

and the boss itself applies it too

She sleeps so they slowly lose hp

edgy stag

instead of horn?

What exactly are you trying to do and what is your squad

@edgy stag as far as risk 4 goes it's like, not that bad

For the first boss, have mlynar facing down close to the left blue box

For the second boss have him here like in this ss

Well any 2 fast redeploy should do

edgy stag
#

well like how exactly should i be doing this because i have no idea how you could possibly stall them in any way that would allow mlynar to not be permanently stunned

Bring a wandering medic

if you think that would work

idk what to say

i just dont get these stages man. like half of them you can just place mountain or gavialter or thorns and basically go afk

and then the other half

are this shit

hollow forum

usually for the flowers you stall them at the bottom like in the ss I sent

theres also other creative ways

then, after the frd gets stunned, let them run to the top lane and stall them again there
