Pallas is obvious

[craggy turret]

Silence alt my beloved

[gentle finch]

pot1

🥶

[scarlet ledge]

[scarlet ledge]

planning to raise rosa rn

ill delay mumu raise

[craggy turret]

Silence was my first 5* so she holds a special place in my heart

[surreal star]

mly skalter pallas blemi rosa eun silence imo

[livid delta]

Wtf e1 penance

[scarlet ledge]

😳 @livid delta

[craggy turret]

Kept hearing ppl say ho was mid

[scarlet ledge]

hool is fine

[surreal star]

what’s her s2 total damage

[craggy turret]

Here's a real debate...best main menu background?

[surreal star]

i pick based on who my assistant is

[craggy turret]

What would that be rn?

[surreal star]

stainless

let me check

which background i have set

[hollow forum]

nighttime, solely for the music

but I'd change it up every so often, or if I for some reason have an aegir / iberia / AH assistant then I'd go with the seaborn bg

[scarlet ledge]

uncle > skalter > blem > rosa and etc

[craggy turret]

I have eben + IS2 background rn

[surreal star]

my bg is cloudy rn

[gentle finch]

IM SORRY

[gentle finch]

alright

[scarlet ledge]

@gentle finch meanwhile me

[gentle finch]

snow

[gentle finch]

E0 skadi but skin

[craggy turret]

Rip phantom, you will be missed

[scarlet ledge]

fart e0 art

[gentle finch]

@surreal star Pallas still goes first doe

[scarlet ledge]

ill raise him
clone helpful

[surreal star]

alright

[gentle finch]

sob

somtimes i don't feel like fixing base cuz it loads so slow for everything

[craggy turret]

Had that before what I have rn. Couldn't resist pairing eben and the IS2 bg music tho

[scarlet ledge]

lol

oh ye i need prio sxhwarz too

its just s3 deal so much

[craggy turret]

Blemi + stainless is pretty good too

[scarlet ledge]

well ye

blem can charge on s3 stain

[craggy turret]

I saw this set up somewhere involving qui Bai and stainless for big dmg...I forgot what it was exactly

[surreal star]

qiu stain suzu

[craggy turret]

I think that was it yea, not sure how it exactly works tho

[gentle finch]

the ultimate copium combo

[surreal star]

it only works on st

[gentle finch]

suzu gives qiubai the full slow uptime while stainless charges her SP

[surreal star]

qiu hits 2 stainless turrets+an extra enemy

iirc qiubai s3 is auto sp

[gentle finch]

Yeah she gets her aspd stacks too

[gentle finch]

won't it still give SP or is the combo with stainless S3

I've never looked into it

[surreal star]

s3 stainless

[gentle finch]

alright

[surreal star]

it uses him for dps

not support

[gentle finch]

so it's to max out her skill aspd thing

[scarlet ledge]

@surreal star https://youtube.com/shorts/XVqmjGr0IzY?feature=share
look at fucking phantom dodge

[surreal star]

it’s to deal turret damage

[gentle finch]

idk stainless

how he works

[craggy turret]

The god send to any and all offensive recovery ops (and defensive recovery if you have blemi)

[surreal star]

[scarlet ledge]

oh ye

hm run

[surreal star]

stainless chen synergy isn’t good tbh

since chens range on s3 just disappears

[scarlet ledge]

who tf use chen

[surreal star]

and she targets the turret if there’s no closer enemy

[craggy turret]

Cuz Chen has relatively high initial sp and is mostly used for her invis Frames, then immediately retreated. Atleast that's how I've been using her.

[surreal star]

i’m talking about chen s3

[turbid badge]

lmao uea

Yea

it just goes to the turret if the enemy isnt closer

[craggy turret]

but for a more long standing op that stays on the field? Like Irene or blemi? Yea, god send

[latent monolith]

Ch'en mod 3 works fine as a laneholder because of how fast her S3 cycle becomes

[surreal star]

it’s not about her cycle

stainless messes up her targeting

[scarlet ledge]

godssenger s3 stain s3

extra range

[latent monolith]

It was in response to this

[scarlet ledge]

[surreal star]

oh

[craggy turret]

Doesn't the turret have -2 priority?

[scarlet ledge]

wtf sharath is here

so pro

[surreal star]

chen closest targeting takes prio

over taunt

[turbid badge]

ye

[latent monolith]

Special targeting always takes priority over taunt

[turbid badge]

so it just goes to turret

[craggy turret]

Just get her to block the enemy first then

[scarlet ledge]

[gentle finch]

ok

what do you use stainless S3 for

what does it do exactly

[full finch]

it deals splash damage

and charges offensive recovery skills

iirc it's based on stainless' own ATK

but it's basically almost always worse than simply having units attack the enemies themselves

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/669489344658014208/1061418508770103336/puzzle_inifinite_DP.gif

but there's funni things you can do like this

[gentle finch]

interesting

[soft crystal]

mod3 chen works much better as a laneholder than irene does.

[vernal lion]

now waiting for her 2nd mod

[soft crystal]

Irene mod?

[vernal lion]

chen tho

[surreal star]

2% more atk

[latent monolith]

It'll probably be worse tbh

[vernal lion]

tbh her 2nd talent is worse

can't even compare it to Mountain

[surreal star]

i just realized that kal s1 isn’t tied to monster

[scarlet ledge]

irene mod funni

i still mod 3 her on cn

[livid delta]

I should use Kal s1 more

[full finch]

it's funni for replacing a defender

[turbid badge]

i saw kal s1 using to tank steamknight

[gentle finch]

xd

[turbid badge]

they just cycled kal and summoner

[hollow forum]

does mon3tr even survive w s1

[livid delta]

Sometimes I just need Kal to stall and not do damage

[turbid badge]

It can tank normal hits

[hollow forum]

[vernal lion]

just cope for dodging

[livid delta]

Mon3tr doesn't get dodge

[gentle finch]

what's the most defensive summon from a summoner

[livid delta]

Ling s3 and maybe Mayer?

Actually Scene s2 is pretty defensive

[turbid badge]

but yeah skill on he lives

[soft crystal]

Ling s3 funny

[soft crystal]

tanky dragons just get tankier

[livid delta]

Obviously the answer is Survivor Contract Muelsyse summon

[turbid badge]

real

[vernal lion]

Ling s3 with some healing
and you have a Hoshi 4 block with Blaze s2 but Surtr dmg

[livid delta]

What other ops have 4 block off-skill

[cinder vector]

any artificer device with lil handie +1 block

[livid delta]

Hoshi, Nian, Matterhorn, Croissant?

[turbid badge]

Protector modules

idk

[cinder vector]

big dragon if u count that ig

[livid delta]

Not a lot of accessible 4 block units ig

2 are locked behind limited status and the rest are lol

[livid delta]

Oh shit heavyrain

[limpid siren]

croissant 💪

[turbid badge]

crossiant op

[lethal dragon]

Quaso

[gentle finch]

hmm

[gentle finch]

i see

[livid delta]

Apparently Skalter summon is strong as shit and hard to kill?

[limpid siren]

[soft crystal]

me want mods for liskarm and blitz when

[limpid siren]

watch them get like

dmg_scale vs unblocked enemies

[soft crystal]

are they already reclassified out of being protectors?

or are they still

[livid delta]

They get marksman module

[vernal lion]

Liskarm +2sp per getting hit

[soft crystal]

oh sentinel guard

cool name

[livid delta]

I thought Liskarm already gets 3sp per hit

[soft crystal]

cool name

[limpid siren]

yeah

[turbid badge]

blocks 3 and attacks from long range!!

[vernal lion]

2 tiles btw

[cinder vector]

with lil handie yeah

[lethal dragon]

Thunder resistance

[surreal star]

just wait for it to be +2 res instead

[limpid siren]

it will be something lame like that

or an additional minor effect

liskarm is already too close to being oppressively strong

[scarlet fulcrum]

Inb4 T range

[limpid siren]

extra range?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah like e0 lord

[limpid siren]

would be interesting tbh

[scarlet fulcrum]

Without adjacent

[limpid siren]

it's a cute little "nothing" upgrade

[scarlet fulcrum]

Indeed

Atk_scale againts blocked also seems copable

[limpid siren]

bad for everyone except defender players and 5* players

[scarlet fulcrum]

welp so far mod on collab unit like whatever they just collab unit

[limpid siren]

they did tachanka so dirty

look what they did to my boy

[turbid badge]

oh yea.. 1* and 2* no module

😞

[scarlet fulcrum]

His existence already unique too, with interesting tag even more

[turbid badge]

sword master with 3 tiles range real

[limpid siren]

short ttk is pretty rare on a 5*

[scarlet fulcrum]

Hes sniper

[limpid siren]

i still don't really enjoy using him though

but i've been using quercus a lot more lately

wishful thinking, but maybe she can help out sometimes

[scarlet fulcrum]

Her dr kinda nice for 5* yeah

[limpid siren]

kaze/quercus is an interesting combo

[scarlet fulcrum]

S1?

[turbid badge]

spamming s2 but never actually going into doll dorm or s1 spam

[limpid siren]

S2

[scarlet fulcrum]

i wish i have kaze

[limpid siren]

i was missing kaze for so long

finally have my own

[turbid badge]

i got her on the JO

[scarlet fulcrum]

Damn lucsacc

[limpid siren]

i still think quercus is pretty clunky as a unit

but she's funny

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah her kit still nice and unique personally, tho most ppl will think skalter s1 in same situation maybe. i kept distracted

How did u stall steam in H-4? Rotating her, waaifu and shamare. Myabe mine overkill tbh

[limpid siren]

i actually haven't finished h stages yet

i got a bit busy, and lost the drive to play them through

idk if the weird team i was using can even clear h11-1

i'd probably use croissant and shamare to stall steambro though

[scarlet fulcrum]

Actually 5* has some unique range for H-1 indeed

[limpid siren]

i think czerny would go really hard

@karmic tiger did you try this?

hmm

croissant/shamare only has like 5s of downtime

just cope some dodges ig

in case you get unlucky and he falcon punches in those 5s

[scarlet fulcrum]

Or use the lame way with meatshield rotation

The main problem mobs imo, should be fine

[limpid siren]

i've seen all the complaints yeah

maybe i'll do them before IS, idk

[scarlet ledge]

igneus so pro

teach

[limpid siren]

just farming for sora/lunacub rn

wdym

am bad

[wary wing]

can't shamare doll the boss for every falcon punch?

[scarlet fulcrum]

nope

[limpid siren]

idk i haven't fought steamknight with good units

[soft crystal]

Ptilopsis could help(?)

[limpid siren]

oh i lied

[scarlet fulcrum]

With ptilo almost

[soft crystal]

Sp aura (?)

[limpid siren]

i had ptilopsis

[latent monolith]

Suzuran then

[lethal dragon]

Igneus YouTube channel when

[scarlet fulcrum]

5*

[latent monolith]

Oh didn't notice

[limpid siren]

[latent monolith]

Backreading

I just did H7-4

horse uncle too op pls nerf

[scarlet fulcrum]

Prob with lisk, as long as survive and baiting rockets

[latent monolith]

Wait is it unmodded or modded

Mod upgrades give slightly more sp

[limpid siren]

gotta get that sweet +0.05

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah mine mod3

[limpid siren]

based

[scarlet fulcrum]

U are based

[limpid siren]

[scarlet ledge]

eww mod 3

[scarlet fulcrum]

The punch take 9 secs to launch iirc, should be enough for cycle doll in phase2 the atk recovery part is funny tho

[limpid siren]

maybe i'll try some funny clears for the good ch11 stages later

[glass monolith]

Only thing which outcopes Ptilo mod3 gain is NG mod3 gain

[limpid siren]

I don't think the gains are quite that bad

[scarlet fulcrum]

Wait i forgor to put shamare in ptilo range, its actually tight when he gain aspd but still doable ptilo+shamare

[lethal dragon]

Isn't ptilopsis talent
Global?

[latent anvil]

[vernal lion]

mod giving more sp/s is just for inside her range

normally it's global already

[lethal dragon]

Oh true

[latent monolith]

Is there a way you could debuff the aspd of SK

[latent anvil]

Which Vulcan skill to master

[scarlet fulcrum]

I will try with modless next

[wary wing]

most of those aren't 6star

then there's mayer

pram

cold

[latent monolith]

Well the only ones I remember were like lee and sail so

[limpid siren]

Probably S2, S1 kinda lost some value now that we have 4 block protectors

[latent anvil]

I see

[limpid siren]

Either skill can be right for the job though

Just hard to recommend M6 on a 5*

[storm current]

m6 cantabile

[latent anvil]

5 stars are rarer than 4 stars, they must be better

[storm current]

elysium

[limpid siren]

I still hesitate to recommend M6 on elysium

[storm current]

uh

pluma

[limpid siren]

Even moreso

[latent anvil]

My elysium is sl6 for over a year now

[bitter glen]

tsukinogi

[limpid siren]

If you play with 6*s, go get burst from a real operator

[sonic willow]

canta m6?

[storm current]

i think 2020 try hard prob have m6 feater too

[latent anvil]

Well I'm leveling vulcan for base may as well mastery

[limpid siren]

Just one should be fine tbh

[storm current]

[fallen chasm]

Best operator frfr

[storm current]

ye you can ignore s2 for the most part

[limpid siren]

I don't see why many people would use both of cantabile's skills

[vernal lion]

wait for 6 star Reaper that acts like Hellabruh

[storm current]

s2 last way too short to my liking

[latent anvil]

Why did people switch to cantabile when myrtle still has never failed me

[storm current]

canta is essentially a pioneer that you would replace immidiately

as long as enemies dont leak

[limpid siren]

I think you lose more than you gain by wanting to tie agent analysis to another archetype

[vernal lion]

remember that canta or any agent needs object to hit for dp recovery

[limpid siren]

Any time you yardstick cantabile by saying she's like this or that, you're quietly throwing out the rest of what makes her so unique

[vernal lion]

if you are rushing for dp, flagbearer is always a choice

[storm current]

imo what make canta so good is the role compression

[glass monolith]

Slaps Stainless: SYNERGY POWEEEEEER

[storm current]

she allow you to not spend 3 slots for just flagpipe

it is true that flagpipe is absolutely overkill 90% of the time

[limpid siren]

Single flag is fine anyway

[vernal lion]

you don't even need Bagpipe tho

[scarlet fulcrum]

With modless its pretty tight when steam gain aspd, failed at 2nd boosted falcon. Skill issue

[latent anvil]

bagpipe is good helidrop and also I've run bagpipe myrtle beat literally everything for me

[limpid siren]

Failing isn't skill issue

[glass monolith]

I almost made my life harder by brute forcing Myrtle on maps where it is not needed

[latent anvil]

Failing just means bad game design

[limpid siren]

It's okay to not get everything on the first try

[scarlet fulcrum]

Atk recovery moment

[lethal dragon]

Fr

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just keep deploy doll earlier maybe, too much focused on animation and didnt count

[limpid siren]

Use manticore s2

(don't actually)

[vernal lion]

failed in story stages: "It's fine, I can beat it later."
failed in CC stages: "WHY DID YOU MAKE IT SO HARD MF DEV?"

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah p1 pretty spammable, after steam first fly in 2nd phase he will immune iirc

[limpid siren]

Yeah

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah its works so well if u deployed doll early during normal falcon

[main halo]

Cause you have 1 week to get rainbow medal and so you'll have to go through a week of suffering

[scarlet fulcrum]

I didnt read during my first run, so not realizing its atk recovery its just excuse tbh

[limpid siren]

You're allowed to make excuses if you use them to make an adjustment in your strategy

We all walk by putting one foot after the other anyway

[scarlet fulcrum]

[glass monolith]

Wait, you guys don't headbutt in direction of movement?

[limpid siren]

Only if i need a bit more speed

[pale orchid]

i thought people naruto run to places where they need to go

[vernal lion]

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

very awesome clear, my dude

[glass monolith]

Imagine get boollied by dog

[lethal dragon]

Common blemi pfp W

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its funny adverse tbh, easier than normal vers

Still based mayer clear

[glass monolith]

Good old times before +20% buff in CM/AE instead 10%

[scarlet ledge]

@lethal dragon s stages up

Did you use chatgpt for that btw ?

[wraith barn]

nope I wrote it

[gleaming lodge]

[gleaming lodge]

Let's just say I have a little collection of what happened in #game-feedback lmao

[wraith barn]

Average state of content issue in AKO. I hope today SSS reset will unlock 4th "tower" otherwise cringe and die

[gleaming lodge]

Also, we better get back on topic

[wraith barn]

[gleaming lodge]

It has become so easy it's barely a challenge anymore

[storm current]

CW-S-2-B

[scarlet ledge]

[civic nest]

ball

how does the ball work btw

[scarlet ledge]

gravity

[glass monolith]

You hit ballz. Ballz roll.

And then Boss walks in and ballz hit you

[scarlet ledge]

oh ye naga

how is other s stage?

[vernal lion]

amazing S stages tho

[civic nest]

meta destroyer fr

[cinder vector]

that thing have like 4500 def which decreases when attacked so

[scarlet ledge]

wtf is that?
supplies stage

[storm current]

and then it explode

[scarlet ledge]

[storm current]

casually doing 3.6k on explosion

very fun

[vernal lion]

can only blocked by 4 block

[cinder vector]

i think its 4k

[scarlet ledge]

imma do other s stages later

already done s-1 a/b

[civic nest]

oh it’s the a/b stuff like sn

[vernal lion]

4k5

[storm current]

i think you are supposed to use ling against them?

or just attack a lot

[vernal lion]

you will need 80 physical hits to decrease its def to 500

[storm current]

muelsyse + dorothy

[scarlet ledge]

ngl i cant remember that mini boss

i just arts it

[vernal lion]

Exu will fit the job

[civic nest]

exu meta again?

[storm current]

well

[scarlet ledge]

naga

i didnt even know that mini boss exist

[storm current]

it has 90 res too

[scarlet ledge]

until cm on ex 7

[storm current]

and -1 res per hit taken

[scarlet ledge]

[storm current]

good art dmg can shred that 90 res so not a problem for them

[vernal lion]

this looks like IW but more worse

[scarlet ledge]

naga

fucking rocket at s1 b

when enemy press the up gravity

[scarlet ledge]

@vernal lion oh ye fuck thise normal enemy that -1 block

then lightsaber came

[vernal lion]

that's why its name is Traffic Police

[scarlet ledge]

imma do s stages later

gotta finish pvz2 nmt

[cinder vector]

the one that shoots 4 laser is the worst one

[glass monolith]

Defenses decrease on hit taken you say?

[scarlet ledge]

ping pong?

[cinder vector]

they do like 3k arts dmg wtf

[scarlet ledge]

@vernal lion oh ye show map when u reach boss

[vernal lion]

oh btw, if your op is staying on gravity tile and got hit by it, it will decrease the block to 0 no matter how many blocks you have

[scarlet ledge]

lol

[storm current]

wow

every anni event have some bullshit mechanic

[vernal lion]

0 block won't effect the sensor

[storm current]

some how

like

light mechanic from NL

SN enemies

[soft crystal]

NL mechanic is the best mechanic

[storm current]

and the eggs bullshit

[soft crystal]

Out of all the events tbh

[storm current]

[vernal lion]

I like BI mechanism

very fair

[storm current]

supposedly

mechanic should have up and down

benefiting both side

for NL

it just fuck you in particular

[soft crystal]

I think IC is my least favorite

Car do be funni

[storm current]

i think i kinda like IC

[soft crystal]

But i dont like it

[storm current]

it benefit you more than harm ye

[glass monolith]

Wait. Which SSS tower is next? NL mechanic one? With ranged enemies because fuck you?

[vernal lion]

NL mechanism is actually existed in real life tho, especially about the criminal case

going alone without light is very dangerous when trying to catch criminals

[scarlet ledge]

naga

im watching 25thnight rn

wtf is s 4

[vernal lion]

just have fun lol

Kristen and her many "Big Babies"

[scarlet ledge]

[vernal lion]

I'm pretty sure I want to say CW is hardest event for now

[scarlet ledge]

naga

those fucking 3 light saber

[lethal dragon]

I can't 😭

💀 💀 💀

[cinder vector]

cant reduce my block to 0 when my block is already 0!

[glass monolith]

Ranged operators have 1, and Lin event (Chongus who? ) had "Yo, let's have melee enemies walk into ranged tiles for lulz"

[vernal lion]

can't kill me when I'm 0 block

also dude got his eye look so creepy

[glass monolith]

Finally a worthy opponent - April S2 eye glow

[vernal lion]

fun fact, he's invisible too

[lethal dragon]

Just balled him in cw-9 and ling in ex-7

Idk if I am trying s stages

(Slaps Silverass on blue box and quit)

[vernal lion]

whose is that attack btw, I don't remember there's some sort of bullet animation like Ezreal from LoL

[lethal dragon]

Lappland

Also Ew LoL

[cinder vector]

lapp s2

[vernal lion]

so this only works when they move up or down

[glass monolith]

Slaps Indigo. Problem solved, Moving is forbidden

[vernal lion]

yea, slap that in this map

[glass monolith]

it is one of those maps where you assist unalive to hoverboys?

[vernal lion]

Yes

@scarlet ledge have you played with the ball yet

I am really not bothering with s stages

[glass monolith]

imagine if stage had moment when you need to manual activate just to troll you

[gentle finch]

balls

jp Livestream up

[latent monolith]

Just tell me when event drops pls

[vernal lion]

Steward skin bois

[cinder vector]

if we slow them, does it still work? like, their speeed is say 100, base speed is 100, then they get increased by whatever but we put a slow on them so that its lower than 100, do they still hover?

[vernal lion]

as it said, I think it will work

only 20.86% of EN player had finished IS2

bruh

[cinder vector]

so if u put a binder, they will just go up and down and up and down

[vernal lion]

the duration must apply all the time, if you want them to stay down on the ground

like Suzuran s3, Mostima s3

[soft crystal]

why is this funny

[vernal lion]

I see it pretty normal

[glass monolith]

Do they show CC#9 stats at EN server at any point or get fucked?

[novel plover]

imagine caring about EN server

[vernal lion]

it's not just EN, it's global server

[lethal dragon]

Imagine caring about Arknights

[soft crystal]

Imagine

[neat skiff]

The joys of rogue-like games being either "love or hate" with very little middle ground.

Also, I wonder if the devs will squeeze in IS3 before IS event.

[glass monolith]

Well we have date for IS3 - 23rd. Where IS?

[neat skiff]

Or they could just keep skipping IS3. IS5 drops in CN and global goes straight to IS4.

No single target medic modules for us.

[glass monolith]

Well 0 lose for me because my medics is Ptilo, Nearl and Quercus because my roster is Biased AF

[soft crystal]

I love is2 but

That 4th ending trying to get the encounters

[glass monolith]

YOU CAN HOLE THE BOSS

[soft crystal]

Fucking suck

Idk if im just unlucky

But ive only gotten to playwright like 3 times

[glass monolith]

Nah encounter luck is shit

[soft crystal]

Been trying to do hm playwright with cas/spec

I want my mizuki opener clear

[flat sapphire]

s1m3?

[glass monolith]

Manticore S1M3 moduled.
You may pass.
If i feel like it (uses Weedy S3)

[soft crystal]

M6 mizuki

[turbid badge]

nice mine m3

[turbid badge]

[inner garden]

mizuki s1m3 is a good afk skill

[vernal lion]

I would love to see CC stage with amongus like this

[neat skiff]

Wandering and therapist medics be like concert security guards.

[glass monolith]

I have one better. CC but it is IS3 ending 4 jellies

[vernal lion]

AmongUs Gaming

[sonic willow]

are the impostors fixed or rng

[vernal lion]

always fixed tho

[sonic willow]

[elder flume]

i want shiftable civis

[vernal lion]

can I levitate civis too?

[cosmic dagger]

It's not as interesting that you can see the invincible imposter

So you immediately know who's the boss

Making boss just regular imposter so you actually play papers please would be so cool

Additionally spawn like 3 more imposters with boss or something so it's not easy to see which is which

[glass monolith]

Dude we will be tanking 4 of them at H stages, F off

[cosmic dagger]

The H stages were super cool actually

Since tankiness is valued once again

[glass monolith]

I am not welcoming 30 minute long maps for sake of 30 minute long map, not because my strategy sucks so hard I shenanigan into no sense stall

Like, srly. 1000 def, 50 res, DAMAGE REDUCTION

all while 180k hp

with 2 phases

[cosmic dagger]

You'll be delighted to play is3 ending 4 then

[glass monolith]

I have Weedy Angelina combo

[cosmic dagger]

499k hp 2.9k def 90 res

[glass monolith]

I am not going to play ending 1 and 4 legally

[cosmic dagger]

That's based

[soft crystal]

Is there like a shiny medal for clearing specific difficulties anyways

[cosmic dagger]

Ending 1 is a bit tough to pull off

But ending 4 is really just push twice

There's medal for 4

The trim for 7

Luckily max scaling is also 7

[soft crystal]

Past 7 is just masochism

[cosmic dagger]

It's good fun between like 9-10

Where it's challenging but not unfair

Past that certain stages on emergency just means auto loss

[latent monolith]

I heard horn is great for ending 1 though

[glass monolith]

Ending 2 is Goldenglow/Godsender check

[cosmic dagger]

Horn is lovely for ending 1

Fia works too

[latent monolith]

Which skill?

[cosmic dagger]

Rosa in a pinch can be fine

Horn takes s3

That's like one of two maps where horn actually takes s3

[latent monolith]

I have her S1M3 S3M3 S2M2 and ran out of mats

I've always planned on M9 though

Also horn start good?

[cosmic dagger]

I found decent success with it

I didn't have m9 horn so I tried horn opener

She works really well, especially against some challenging emergency f1 stages

Post expansion she obviously can't deal with hoverboards in f1, but that's 6 months down the line

[glass monolith]

IS2 - Okay, i can't kill drones. I need to hope to not roll Jetpack Joe floor 3, and avoid 1/2 combats in floor 4-5 and maybe by Phantom i will get something to hit balloons
IS3 - Okay, i can't kill drones. Run is over

[soft crystal]

Maybe my bp start for is3 is gud

[dull pivot]

how to clear jt8-3? i always struggle to do 2nd phase while avoiding leaking

[soft crystal]

Show squad

And why youre leaking

[glass monolith]

Only thing you can leak in 2nd phase is Talubruh herself, unless you missing those few doggos during fireball waves

[dull pivot]

yeah the dogs while on fireball

[hollow forum]

so your issue is keeping your team alive after talulah dies and the fireballs start

[dull pivot]

exactly

[glass monolith]

Oh fuck you can't tank multiple fire waves

[hollow forum]

then consider borrowing a nightingale probably

[thin rain]

they should be okay maybe?

surtr s3 to tank one side

and then spam frd/literally anyone to tank other

lumen+hoshi could possibly hold talulah for as long as you need in front fo blue box while ops recharge

[dull pivot]

i just need alot of healers?

[sonic willow]

lumen + skalter + ptilo can sustain

[thin rain]

then when surtr recharge put lumen here

spam w/e where durnar is as they die

[astral oyster]

i use sus + ptilo s2 + warf + perfumer ....

[thin rain]

same with top after surtr die

[glass monolith]

I personally used Silence S2 + Ptilo S2 + Guard Amiya S1 who don't give a F and dodges + Chalter who don't give a F and facetanks

[thin rain]

anyone can tank at least one fireball, and your actually leveled ops should be able to tank at least 1 fireball without die too

[dull pivot]

ohh tyty

[thin rain]

oh and you have spain and spectre

so you can also use those to do it too

use their invuln to tank fireball and w/e

[dull pivot]

right.. they have immortality.. and they can tank the fireball

[thin rain]

ye

ez

[glass monolith]

If you avoid getting chalter on fire in phase 2 you can kill Talubruh before she do any fire crystals

[thin rain]

i would be worried about having all your ops on recharge during 2nd fireballs though

[dull pivot]

ok ima attempt the run

[thin rain]

because you just spam all of them to facetank 1st firebal

[thin rain]

make sure not to kill talulah too fast in either phase ok

[glass monolith]

Well, stalling phase 2 is opposite of fun

Unless you have planned out in advance rotation of operators (Funny things have fixed spawn rotation)

Or at your point in game probably planned face tanking

Fuck i have flashback of doing jt8-3 guideless now

which ended with me leaking talubruh.
Month later I returned with better roster and facerolled her (Mostly thanks to Ptilo module extra tile assisting my strategy of engaging Talu on bottom left)

[cosmic dagger]

It's only -2 hp if you get the stage

But guaranteed to be losing hp if you roll poorly is really cringe

Since it affects light level as well

[glass monolith]

Wasn't IS3 main "thing" is than you can only dream about assembling so much HP than you can leak left and right compared to IS2?

IS2 has fucking unlock for losing like 20 lives in same stage

AHAHAHAHA 20 lives lost unlocks this fucking End of Times 2.0 when you need to get 3 encounters for +10 lives on death relic

which i got only once, right before Phantom stage which you can't End of Times

[cosmic dagger]

Actually no, you tend to get a fuck ton of hp especially post expansion

I get like 18-20 hp on average

[glass monolith]

Well we are EN, so i will see expansion in 2025

[cosmic dagger]

Hp here means actual hp + shields

[glass monolith]

And looking on ending 4 I can proudly say 18-20 is not enough

[cosmic dagger]

But leaking boss tends to be pretty challenging since they have long paths and disrupt your team a lot

It's not that they're hard enough that leaking is genuinely meta anyway

I actually think end of times is incredibly meta for is3 too specifically because of stupid run-ending emergency stages

Maybe less so that you're experienced with enemy spawn timers

At the beginning it was a godsent

[dull pivot]

Now this is the problem HAAHHAH same thing again she just do fireballs then leaks on dogs and not enough dp to block it

[glass monolith]

What are you using DP for?
I normally had cap on DP during fire wave

[dull pivot]

I killed the boss too fast and deploying new op to block

Cant i stall the boss on low hp and just solo the boss at the end?

She pretty much so slow and just stall her if thats possible

[civic bear]

dog spawn after each phase

[burnt hemlock]

Can you suggest better operators options for Integrated Strategies?

I discovered that Sash S3 is not enough to shwing through the game. (Playing along with Blacknight, Mayer and Lappland)

[dull pivot]

Oh thats annoying

[civic bear]

there isnt that many

the map first spawn 18 mobs and talulah
when talulah dies phase 1, 4 dogs spawn during fireball, 2 on each lane.
and then when talulah dies phase 2, 4 more dogs spawn during fireball, and then the rest

the 4 dogs inbetween are fairly easy to kill

[bright swan]

What's good strategy for County Hillock Countryside? Here is my operator.

[gentle finch]

country side hillock

strat is to use fiammetta and thorns

[bright swan]

Hmm yeah?

Do Fiammetta + Thorn + Horn make it more solid?

[civic bear]

since you have thorn you can do thorn cheese at red box facing right, and then the rest of your team can focus on the yellow area

thorn with slight support for the most part can carry the whole mid right-bottom side

[gentle finch]

ye

listen to this guy

[glass monolith]

As person who did Chalter spawn camp of top spawn i am disqualified from giving opinion on that map

[gentle finch]

i just borrowed chalter for boss

😂

[vernal lion]

there's afk strat with 4 op

[glass monolith]

(how the fuck do you chalter mandra? )

[foggy grove]

Thorn can kill mandra

[gentle finch]

I did the stage before i cleared ch9

[foggy grove]

[bright swan]

How come on didn't I find it

[gentle finch]

i can do again without borrow

[vernal lion]

Mudrock s2, Chalter s1, Thorns s3 and 1 afk vg

[bright swan]

Hmmm my Mudrock is not m3

and I need to ask my friend to change it to s1

[glass monolith]

afk strat

s2

[gentle finch]

lol

[glass monolith]

[gentle finch]

he means chalter

[bright swan]

friend changing chalter to s1

[glass monolith]

oh also he said M3, i am drunk of tea

[bright swan]

and m3 for mudrock s2

rn it's m1

[bright swan]

i talk weird

ok so

[glass monolith]

nah, you talk okay-ish, my reading is off

[bright swan]

to get chalter to s1, i gonna make all of my operator non e2 /s

[gentle finch]

u don't have to do the afk strat but aight

[glass monolith]

English is not even my native, you need to really TRY to make me notice something is off

[gentle finch]

any stage is free with your squad

[bright swan]

ok what about this

[gentle finch]

what about what

[bright swan]

Do this work

[vernal lion]

oops forgot Skalter, mb

[civic bear]

yeah it does work

[bright swan]

Anything I need to add to be more solid?

[civic bear]

anti air

[gentle finch]

maybe a medic defender

[civic bear]

on the middle

[vernal lion]

and the invisible dude

[civic bear]

drones comes to the middle thru the holes on yellow box

[glass monolith]

I would make Fia look left to spawnkill stupid archers

[civic bear]

so you want stun/Anti airs

[bright swan]

or I can turn perfumer down to heal exu

[civic bear]

yeah

thatll work

thorn isnt getting hit anyway

[bright swan]

and he have self heal

[craggy turret]

I cycled surtr and pozy if I remember correctly

[glass monolith]

I might be wrong bot moving Exu bottom right 1 tile will make her kill flying dudes outside of their range in time

[civic bear]

could always add extra op on the side of perfurmer so

not like its full limit alrdy

[bright swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8DHLGj9YC8&t=218s

check exu

enough to kill all flying dude

[bright swan]

but which one hmm

[gentle finch]

did you try the stage already

[bright swan]

I did

[gentle finch]

ok

[glass monolith]

Skalter buff and at 14:00 Exu takes like 4-5 hits in face from dud

[bright swan]

I can put Gladdia to be sure

[glass monolith]

I used Kroos alter so i forgot they can even fly

[bright swan]

no wonder you use her on main profile

[gentle finch]

hm

[bright swan]

also i never used horn but which skill was best for this map?

isn't it flare?

[sharp swallow]

I used Aak to stun them

[foggy grove]

Yeah s1

[gentle finch]

I had thorns further back

[glass monolith]

I'm pretty sure Gladdia won't target dudes first because fucking potato coding calculates ground path to blue box

[civic bear]

literally just go in

[bright swan]

thats my concern

[civic bear]

thorn cheese the boss enough

[bright swan]

soon, soon.

[civic bear]

that the leak potential are mostly easily solved on the way

[bright swan]

i am having ptsd so I gonna be careful next time

[glass monolith]

You can just slap Gladdia in middle of well.... Middle on other hand

[bright swan]

not big fan of losing sanity when i need it most for other

[civic bear]

just exist the game when u leak or smth

if you dont wnna lose sanity

[glass monolith]

You can close app on annihilations, you won't send data to server, it will default into 0/400

[bright swan]

uhh

thats annihilation

[bright swan]

oh.

i never knew this

[civic bear]

ye

[bright swan]

oh well

imagine how much sanity i can save if it was not for that

[glass monolith]

I know 🫂

Because i didn't knew

[bright swan]

i have like 4 annihilation left to do

[bright swan]

5 if counting that DM

[vernal lion]

some squads you can try

[bright swan]

i am going to do my strategy for now

then i will try htat out

wait you can edit photo?

[vernal lion]

what edit? the first one is mapark

[bright swan]

anyway

[glass monolith]

THIRD SCREENSHOT IS MY CLEAR

[vernal lion]

yes

[bright swan]

must be right

[glass monolith]

Ambriel S2 + GG S3 were focusing Mandra as soon as taunt guys (GG) and low hp trash on top (Ambriel) run out

[vernal lion]

and when you don't have skalter...

[raw quail]

Is Mudrock e2 s2 m2 good enough? with Exu s3 m1 mod 2

Also do I need Lapp's silence?

[bright swan]

not sure if it's needed

[raw quail]

Is that for Mango?

[bright swan]

my lapp is not raised well

[glass monolith]

12/13 is not even arts, why bother to silence?

[vernal lion]

mudrock s2 breakpoint is m1, sp from 5 to 4, and later upgrade just means stronger
exu s3 is fine as long as you don't bother much about detail

[bright swan]

s1 is more solid because it don't depend on timing

[raw quail]

I don't have Lapp, was wondering if I should borrow Skalter or Lapp cuz I have perfumer and Ashlock

[vernal lion]

base on your squad and your placements

[raw quail]

For that stage, not asking in general

[gentle finch]

if you deploy at the same time in video the timing will be the same for the most part

idk if u following video

[raw quail]

I'm going to try out this placements

[bright swan]

video is using s1

[glass monolith]

Only thing you can silence in that annihilation is enemy having high RES. If you not using Arts damage - you don't care

[raw quail]

[gentle finch]

yes

why gladiia S1 though?

[vernal lion]

I mean, s1 is atk recovery

[bright swan]

bez

i am newbie to gladiia

[raw quail]

Mango can't be silenced?

[gentle finch]

use S2 for laneholding

[vernal lion]

boss can't be silenced tho

[raw quail]

[bright swan]

alright

[civic bear]

s1 work just fine honestly, if both sl7 using s1 might save the skill button tbh

[raw quail]

Why does the person in the vid hits the pillar to the breaking point and leaves it there?

[gentle finch]

none of my strats are normal so I can't help people for most annihilations

[gentle finch]

🤷

[civic bear]

so you can use the pillar later without waiting until it breaks

[glass monolith]

I am not sure if they fixed it. She was not silence immune, but silence don't turn off any of her skills anyways. So all you had is "Silenced" icon above her and in your head

[bright swan]

ok i guess I chill for now

[gentle finch]

all enemies have silenced icon

when hit by silence applying skill/talent

[glass monolith]

huh

[bright swan]

i think it is so all enemy can go to mudrock

where one place will be spammed with aoe

[vernal lion]

the pillar has 2 phases, phase 1 with HP, and phase 2 with 1 instant hit,
that is when you want to break it and make it fall to the direction you want

[civic bear]

basicly just saving time

[vernal lion]

yea

[gentle finch]

regardless of if an enemy is silenceable or not, the silence icon will show

[glass monolith]

Mandra will try to flip pillar on myrtle in late. unless fire dudes flip it first

[raw quail]

I thought there was some effect during phase 2 pillar that prevented mango from toppling it lol

[vernal lion]

unless you have Kirin

[glass monolith]

Why Texas alter is next week. I missed opportunity to have exactly 169 pulls on banner start

[vernal lion]

boss can use the pillar too

when she's in fly mode of phase2

[bright swan]

i think pillar can't fall if there is no operator in way

[raw quail]

Yeah I know

[bright swan]

not sure

[muted oriole]

Anyone know if fartooth modules are any good

[gentle finch]

stage one and dip

[vernal lion]

you mean this one

[bright swan]

way to tell difference between nearest and last deployment?

do it priority nearest over last deployment?

[vernal lion]

yes

that's condition 2

[bright swan]

talking about 3

[vernal lion]

4 op around the pillar, and she will prio nearest and then last deployed op

[bright swan]

i realized

horn really work well because of invisibility

[vernal lion]

usually the condition 3 is unreal, because you don't make thing like that

[raw quail]

Mod X increases atk and aspd and buffs first talent, while Mod Y increase HP and atk, and SP battery

[glass monolith]

Also 80% of pillars on Mandra stage has no deploy tiles on at least 2/4 sides

[muted oriole]

I'm just gonna leave it at stage 1 mod x I suppose, doesn't seem very impactful for cost. Thank you!!

[bright swan]

gg

now 2 annihilation left

[sharp swallow]

Is Waai Fu ultimately a stronger and better Red for Phantom

[glass monolith]

You Pozyed pillar next to Horn?

[vernal lion]

they do different role

[bright swan]

I tried to.... get pillar drop on boss

[bright swan]

Chocolate Street and Lingering Shangshu Trails.

[glass monolith]

I guess Myrtle had issue doing 5000 damage in 15 seconds

[vernal lion]

Waai Fu is debuff, Red is stun (or cc effect)

[bright swan]

I can figure chocolate street myself out, but i need help with lingering shangshu trails for sure

[gentle finch]

chocolate street is ridiculously easy

[vernal lion]

do you have damage over time (or dot) type?

[gentle finch]

did you attempt lingering trails

[bright swan]

yes

[bright swan]

thorn?

[glass monolith]

Lingering is IW one?

[gentle finch]

Yes

[bright swan]

ethan too

[gentle finch]

i would honestly try a few more attempts to clear by myself

[bright swan]

nah

[gentle finch]

ok

[bright swan]

that one really bit me in ass

[glass monolith]

Fuck, i did post my clear of it but i didn't wrote any "Anni" world next to it to find it up

[bright swan]

what do this represent

[raw quail]

Mod X is better I think yea, and buff is pretty good

[gentle finch]

isn't that anni the one where u can leak and still get the proxy card to give full orundum

[glass monolith]

Death

[bright swan]

yes

[bright swan]

oh yeah him

[civic bear]

theres a lot of anni like that

[gentle finch]

true

[civic bear]

the OD anni also can leak

[vernal lion]

you can kill enough 400/400 and then dip

[glass monolith]

every 4 second DoT from IW dragon gets +1 to multiplier, and it last 20 seconds

[bright swan]

DoT is damage over time right?

[livid delta]

I just silenced it with lappland

[glass monolith]

OH COME FUCKING ON IT WAS AN OPTION?

[bright swan]

tbh my brain is kinda too weak to handle this annihilation

I did all annihilation + 3-9 chapter CM including chapter 11 and all of side story that i didn't complete

[gentle finch]

only way to grow brain is to clear yourself !

it will be intimidating at first but you can do it

[livid delta]

Some jackasses said silence is useless 2 years ago and now no one bothers to check if anything is worth silencing lmao

[bright swan]

and inferno up to chapter 7 (didn't do h7-4)

[burnt hemlock]

Explosive spiders can be anywhere as well as buffing drones...

[bright swan]

and somehow I didn't finish this

lemme finish it first

[vernal lion]

man I don't remember that you can silence this dude

[bright swan]

WHAT

is it 4 direction balls

[vernal lion]

yes

you can also silence the volleyball machine in IC event

[bright swan]

i already know that

[gentle finch]

imagine using silencing

[glass monolith]

Fun fact, you can silence LE crab. If it is silenced before being hit by cancer ray it don't lose defences. WHO THE FUCK CODED THIS SHIT?

[bright swan]

LE?

Oh lingering?
