strategy

[glass monolith]

Well yea, event with cancer ray and epic sax guys

Does LE annihilation came with SP regen down as well?

[bright swan]

there is annihilation for LE?

[glass monolith]

on CN it is current

[bright swan]

so it's future content

[glass monolith]

FUTURE CANCER

[bright swan]

yup

accurate representation it is

[glass monolith]

Last few annihilation feel easy because how rarely they use enemies which make them hard
But nah future annihilation go full cancer

[vernal lion]

it's cancer because it has -1 block enemy and 3 block enemy

[glass monolith]

and DV annihilation just prints WOKE robots

[bright swan]

using boss in annhiilation is sign

[glass monolith]

i take 1 boss i already killed in red box over 30 cancerous elites

[livid delta]

Boss in LE anni got deleted before I realized she was even there

I wouldn't be too worried

[vernal lion]

it's not even boss

[glass monolith]

Oh it comes with mini-boss one?

Chocolate street has mini-boss of event as well btw

[livid delta]

I can't wait for Lone Trail anni and the return of the fucking BALLS

[vernal lion]

girl is already got trolling

[bright swan]

anyway

[glass monolith]

IW had mercy, "NL" (technically MN + NL in NL mechanics) had mini-boss of MN and boss of NL,

[bright swan]

WHAT DID I SEE

[glass monolith]

Reminds me of "Let Frostnova ban all tiles" run

[vernal lion]

and meet this one too

[bright swan]

why od that guy look like robocop

[glass monolith]

Because in space nobody can sue you for copyrights

[gentle finch]

balls..!

[vernal lion]

I like Lone Trail mechanism, it's not just simple like that

[glass monolith]

I like enemy who you need to hit like 80 times

[bright swan]

anyway were you supposed to help me with liongering shangshu trails

[cosmic dagger]

CW balls are super fun to manipulate

[glass monolith]

I know which stage i will look toward on IC rerun

[bright swan]

oh i want more of this

[vernal lion]

if you can spawncamp top right, it will cost you much less braincell to do that anni

[glass monolith]

Hey, found this shit

This is what happens when you try to copy someone else clear. But you forgot what they did

[elder flume]

why is eunectes shooting a missile

[bright swan]

it's fiametta

[glass monolith]

She calls for tribe assistance from this r- doctor

[bright swan]

i realized how

ridicolous fiammetta missile is

[bright swan]

you need s1m3 for this right?

gladdia

[vernal lion]

yes

[bright swan]

going to see if I can raise her

[glass monolith]

Without M3 or Ange S3 activation she won't drag spear guys in

[bright swan]

hmm

I think

I can make it

yeah

i can do it

that will save me from headache

i am

willing to kill my resource for it

ultimate puller!

i hope there is no stage where i need two puller

or is there?

[latent anvil]

i dont think there is any stage where you need a single puller

[bright swan]

i mean two puller

[latent anvil]

if you dont even need one puller for any stage how can you need two

[bright swan]

alright alright

[vernal lion]

using puller is an option, but I don't think you need 2

[bright swan]

s1m3 is going to best best raise in my account for sure

for now

it's patient wait

i guess i can focus on other stage

[livid delta]

If you have s2m3 already just use that lol

[bright swan]

i don't

[livid delta]

ripbozo

[bright swan]

also my gladdia is mod2

so thats not good

no good.

[livid delta]

I don't understand

[vernal lion]

mod2 is good enough

[bright swan]

this

[livid delta]

You can do that anni without module

[bright swan]

oh i mean in general

[livid delta]

Actually what did I use

Enforcer

[latent anvil]

I probably used my e1 1 rope or something

[bright swan]

e1 1 rope can do taht stuff?

[livid delta]

If you kill the spear guys instead of pulling you just let ethan + pusher kill the furniture

[vernal lion]

I mean if you don't go full afk, then you just use normal op to do the job instead

[livid delta]

The spear guys just stand there forever

[latent anvil]

Nvm I used ifrit

[vernal lion]

afk strat without coping too much rng will be better for anni

but, skip ticket exists for now, so you don't really care about afk anymore

[glass monolith]

I am more into active coping with RNG

[bright swan]

i value my time

[latent anvil]

Yea I love doing 4-9

It's so fun

[glass monolith]

Yes i had desyncs to:
Indigo root
Goldenglow explosion
Ambriel stun
Kroos alter stun

[vernal lion]

coping for GG explosion is the worst ngl

[scarlet ledge]

@vernal lion imma cope later for s-4

[glass monolith]

Best part i didn't plan for her explosion, it just happened 4 times in row and activated kill gate

[gentle finch]

on gladiia?

[scarlet ledge]

m9

best

[bright swan]

yes

well yeah m9 is better

thats my plan

[glass monolith]

Which reminds me. Break the Ice rerun soon

[bright swan]

oh yeah break the ice.

go break the ice.

[glass monolith]

Kayje or whatever - Break the ice
Reed alter - tou(r)ch the grass
Lin - gacha the ground?

[bright swan]

what do you mean

[vernal lion]

just try smth funny

[glass monolith]

Missing accident dog slide into box

[latent anvil]

How op is W, I'm going to whale to spark her

Only 500$

[livid delta]

You guys think I should pull Gnosis banner

[bright swan]

I plan to spark W, she is waifu.

[scarlet ledge]

[latent anvil]

Pull gnosis for base if you don't have good tp

[scarlet ledge]

[vernal lion]

6 balls, each one will deal 900 arts dmg

[bright swan]

silence at it again

I need to raise lappland for sure

[livid delta]

[vernal lion]

nah the stage isn't hard, I just saw the solution for it

[livid delta]

at least its not

stupid rockets

[scarlet ledge]

anyway imma do this stage later

or ill wait for cn dalao solution at bili2

[wary wing]

has all the broken units
can't clear

[vernal lion]

wait so how many maximum block will Kristen get base on number of ball?

7 ?

[scarlet ledge]

ngl i cant remember

[vernal lion]

is there limit?

[scarlet ledge]

test it

[vernal lion]

test it with 3 balls, if she passed through your 3 block defender, that's it

[scarlet ledge]

ngl im excited to see zpkf clear of it

[livid delta]

I meant the 3 block car/rockets

its bully + lancer enemy

[vernal lion]

at least there's no 4 block robocop

[bright swan]

thats me rn /s

[vernal lion]

a bunch of -1 block enemy in this event is also annoying

[livid delta]

just silence them

[scarlet ledge]

-1 block normal enemy

[vernal lion]

yea

[scarlet ledge]

[livid delta]

Lappland SWEEP

[vernal lion]

old op meta in coming new events

[livid delta]

I wish I had galter

5 block

at least give me time to stall to kill balls

[tired grail]

I'd need help with JT8-3, I have a good roster but this is the first stage I'm struggling with because of the fireballs killing everyone and then leaking the wolfs

What are some good strategy to apply on this stage?

[soft crystal]

2-3 healers, only have 3 lanes at most

Bring frds

And show me team

[elfin locust]

use nightingale s3 to survive fireballs

[bitter glen]

nightingale is salvation

[tired grail]

I did but rng is fucked up

[soft crystal]

Ng can solo heal

With s3 up

Be sure youre only using 3 rows

Minimizes damage

[tired grail]

I was trying to copy this clear

Friend thorns

https://youtu.be/T5VMSj_V2PQ

[elfin locust]

dont limit yourself to just 5 ops, just use all slots you have

[tired grail]

[soft crystal]

Why ng on s2

[tired grail]

Don't look at that

I was using S3

[soft crystal]

Fair

[tired grail]

It's just default and I just made the squad again

[soft crystal]

What does the squad look with all slots filled

You should bring amiya guard as well

[tired grail]

Didn't tried with squad full yet

What bothers me is that in his clear his surtr deals a lot more damage than mine

[latent anvil]

does urs have mastery

[soft crystal]

Whatevrr the squad is, bring gamiya

[tired grail]

But mine is only 5 levels less and S3M1

[latent anvil]

bruh s3m1

of course it does no dmg

defektiv

[soft crystal]

Well s3m1 to s3m3 is a big diff

[tired grail]

I don't have the ressources sadly

[soft crystal]

Dont forget ti bring gamiya though

[latent anvil]

but also, do you have silverash

[tired grail]

I will

[soft crystal]

Required for extra op

[tired grail]

Nop

[latent anvil]

mlynar?

[tired grail]

That's why I rely on friend's thorns

Yes.

[latent anvil]

yea can 4 op it with saria ng silverash thorns, thats my auto

[tired grail]

[latent anvil]

bruh 💀

[tired grail]

But he can't lanehold like thorns

[latent anvil]

borrow thorns

bring saria ng mlynar

and then win

[soft crystal]

Bring extra ops like frds, vgs just to make it comfier

[tired grail]

I use mlynar to kill the boss twice?

[soft crystal]

Some extra healers as well

Mlynar will annihilate talulah

Much more than surtr

[tired grail]

Hm I'll try that

[latent anvil]

oh wait mlynar cannot block, terrible unit cannot replace silverash

[tired grail]

Would this work? With borrowed thorns

[soft crystal]

Mlynar can stand in sarias spot tbh

Thorns can stand to the left of ng

Saria can be in SAs spot

Yes that would work

[latent anvil]

this auto probably wont even work tbh, havent run it in forever

[soft crystal]

Mlynar has some res and decently tanky

Hes a big boy

[tired grail]

lets try that then

[latent anvil]

as long as you NG early enough that you get skill back by second boss death, you are fine

[smoky crescent]

Wait... Ng skill 2 works...???

[latent anvil]

ayo

[tired grail]

i took skill 3

[latent anvil]

do not ng s2

[tired grail]

That's how I placed them

wait wtf

[latent anvil]

ok but why not thorns one higher

[tired grail]

NG died from tallulah ranged attacks

[latent anvil]

so that the cross explosion

does not hit both ng and thorns

[soft crystal]

Yeah i forgot

[tired grail]

[soft crystal]

Thorns higher should be the play

[smoky crescent]

Use ng summon to tank

[latent anvil]

refia trolling

[soft crystal]

[tired grail]

[tired grail]

but then saria doesnt heal him

[soft crystal]

Just throw a spalter when you need to

Thorns doesnt need extra healing i think

[latent anvil]

why is ur saria on s2

well urs is different spot than mine

[tired grail]

well because thats what is used for those clears?

[soft crystal]

S2 is fine in here

[tired grail]

well S2 is useless with thorns one up higher

[latent anvil]

ig if ur saria is not the one tanking

[soft crystal]

Even s3 but youre not using arts so its whatever

[latent anvil]

my saria was tanking so i needed s1

[soft crystal]

Mlynar i think would 1 cycle each talulah phase

With thorns help

[latent anvil]

well the issue there is NG skill wont be off cd

if you mlynar early- if you dont mlynar early then he wont block

[tired grail]

almost cleared but thorns killed her second phase too quickly for NG S3 to refill

[gentle finch]

alright

[tired grail]

i just have to retry while using NG S3 way earlier

and i think i'll clear

[gentle finch]

nah

just redeploy her

[latent anvil]

no

[gentle finch]

nvm

[latent anvil]

do not do taht

[gentle finch]

no extra medic

rip bozo

[tired grail]

very constructive of you

thx man

[soft crystal]

I think mlynar s3 should be up again after phase transition right

[tired grail]

appreciate it

[soft crystal]

No need for a blocker to cover for mlynar

Mlynar schwing schwing tiwce

[latent anvil]

yes, just have to use ng skill way early

[tired grail]

yeah the problem is surviving and not leaking during the fireballs

[soft crystal]

Bring random shit to cover your ops

Like gravel, yato

Yeah early s3 would definitely work though and less pepega

[gentle finch]

there is a way you can just undeploy everything for the last wave

and save 2 laneholders

for after the firestorm

[latent anvil]

that way sounds painful

[soft crystal]

Too much effort

[latent anvil]

when you can just afk it

[soft crystal]

Schwing schwing babyyyy

[tired grail]

fuuuuck rng

[latent anvil]

bruh rng where

[tired grail]

thorns got hit 4 times in a row

he didnt dodged

[latent anvil]

...

[soft crystal]

Oh you should undeploy mlynar on the second firestorm

[latent anvil]

dont you have more ops

[tired grail]

he never died before

[soft crystal]

Reduce healing req

[latent anvil]

just throw them at fireball, turn them into cooked version

[tired grail]

just unlucky

[latent anvil]

cooked durin strategy

[gentle finch]

real

i mean it's doesn't actually take much effort

he has 3 slots open

you just kill her like normal and undeploy everyone, and then lanehold afterwards

tbh there's lots of ways to clear ze stage

[tired grail]

FINALLY

jesus it was close

she deals so much aoe damage my ng almost died at least 10 times

[soft crystal]

I think you can set an auto tbh

But thats up to you

[tired grail]

nah i need the borrowed thorns lmao

so no auto

[soft crystal]

Jt8-3 still is an aketon farm

Well you can without using thorns i believ

[tired grail]

can mountain replace him?

[glass monolith]

I still don't have JT8-3 farm

[soft crystal]

Probably strat will be a lot different

[latent anvil]

i mean mountain can replace but you need dps for whatever will hit bottom right

[soft crystal]

Actually not a lot different just slightly

[glass monolith]

Die die die

Also I have skill issue with setting thorns up

[soft crystal]

Why is the audio fucked

Lol

[glass monolith]

My inbuilt record shit and AK don't cooperate well

Either CPU don't keep up, or frame rate lock of both applications having death match in background

(huh I forgot to activate Elysium)

[latent anvil]

what kinda

dank placements

[glass monolith]

I don't even need that JT8-3, i just want to flex on Talulah

I killed her faster than wave 1 ended and holding lancers durign fire wave was not fun and i quit the idea

[gentle finch]

I only auto JT8-3 cuz it looks cool

[scarlet ledge]

@glass monolith @vernal lion gotta do non practice run later

[glass monolith]

I love those cursed "no limit on melee/ranged deployment" stages

[scarlet ledge]

this map is bs

[turbid badge]

big

almap

[eager gate]

do you guys think I should put some levels beyond e2-1 in my flagpole girls ?

[glass monolith]

So far i recall only one stage, which due to CC risks was level gated for flag girls if you wanted to use one on max risk (HP down, while all tiles outside of 400+600 true damage "feature" banned)
So probably no, until module happens at least

[turbid badge]

Tea for sure

Yes

Masteries

oh well levels

I did for saileach

Modules ye

Wtf i said masteries i mean module

[scarlet ledge]

teta

i got reed2 dupe

where my brainded surtr

[gentle finch]

rip

[scarlet ledge]

water

can i get 40 gold cert on 8 days?

[gentle finch]

sounds like copium

i don't have enough certs either

[scarlet ledge]

dies

i need 40 cert to buy surtr

[gentle finch]

im at like 115 certs

[meager merlin]

Is there resource/website that breaks down all sources of Orundum? So many places that it drops

[scarlet ledge]

i got cucked by reed2 dupe instead

so yep

[gentle finch]

on surtr banner?

[scarlet ledge]

ye

[gentle finch]

pain

[gentle finch]

idk

[scarlet ledge]

orundum?

[gentle finch]

I could just tell you off the top of my head though

[meager merlin]

Trying to see if I can pull on Texas banner and still have enough time to save for ho'olheyak banner for nrtk spark

[scarlet ledge]

@gentle finch done s stages?

[gentle finch]

No

[scarlet ledge]

i waster 40+ sanity on cm

[gentle finch]

Bro I'm now gonna do the cm stages

@meager merlin
-Daily and Weekly Missions
-Annihilations
-Green and Yellow cert store (if you count a HH ticket as orundum)
-Compensation in mail sometimes
-Mining during limited events guarantee at least a 10 pull on average luck
-Originite Prime from first clear rewards can be used for pulls, multiple new events in the future

probably missed something

[meager merlin]

Thank you so much, there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive guide to how many pulls you get in a month

[glass monolith]

Annihilation - from 1200 to 1800 weekly (2-3 pulls/week)
Doing daily missions - 100 daily - 700 weekly
Doing weekly mission - 500 weekly
Total - 2400/3000 (4-5 pulls/week) as f2p.
I heard crafting it can yield around 1800 weekly, but it will halt progress on upgrading operators, can't afford that (As well as need to do 1-7 like 37 times daily)

[meager merlin]

So with a monthly card it's about 4400 per week

That's just with logging in and doing your dailies

And Annis of course

[gentle finch]

@meager merlin assuming 4 week month:
1800*4 for anni every month
700*4 from dailies
500*4 from weeklies
if you value the monthly HH green tickets as 600 each, it's another 1800
If you add them up you'll get 13,800 orundum per month

which is 23 pulls

[meager merlin]

Plus the orundum you get from the store

[gentle finch]

ah yeah

[meager merlin]

Which is only a single pull ircc

[glass monolith]

Found conversation i had in help like, along time ago, it was about dude sheet about how much he saved over 1 year https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1V8u42dpuGwO7F8Q4s3jecT6swEzvSzDqhsb_EjvlYxk/htmlview
Also i think i fucked up, i assumed it was T3 green shop pulls, but in reality he gained those pulls from rerun shop (purple certs you gain from gaining furniture in both original run and rerun of event)

[meager merlin]

It seems like the average pulls per year is around 600 for a F2P

So I'd probably just barely scrape by if I pulled on Texas banner and she gave me a hard time

[gentle finch]

gonna try them now

are they hard

[glass monolith]

That year had collab (extra free pulls) and AK downloads celebrating x10 pulls for everyone. We will have collab banner this year

[gentle finch]

@meager merlin

are you sparking on sexas

or just pulling for Texas

[meager merlin]

No, just pulling

Only reason I'd stop if I had a NTRK spook or Texas

[glass monolith]

Oh right NTRK skin

Goodbye , we had good run

[gentle finch]

how many pulls u have rn

[meager merlin]

Nrtk is the main goal really, but I don't wanna wait for like another 6-7 months with no new operator

87650, plus 31hh tickets

[glass monolith]

Chance of gaining off banner limited operator is there, but it is still small AF

[gentle finch]

u gt

[meager merlin]

True, but it still does happen

[glass monolith]

There is like 20% to gain specific limited off banner with x5 rate if you do 300 pulls (at least if i recall right math result, i know it was 20% and about off banner)

[gentle finch]

it will be different in 6 months

with year 1 ops out of pool

also it depends on the limited pool size

[glass monolith]

HUH wait a minute

[gentle finch]

this time it's only ntrk skalter and someone else

[glass monolith]

Year 1 removal

Better odds on off bannering

[gentle finch]

rosmontis i believe

[glass monolith]

Found it
Yes Rosmontis

[meager merlin]

So in 6 months I will earn about 200 pulls, not included this event's orundum gimmick, Annis I haven't completed and the next two orundum gimmick, also not included event HH tickets

And I already have 175 pulls approximately, I can spend about 80 pulls safely and still spark NTRK when mumu and ho'olheyak come around

[glass monolith]

I missed chance to spark Skadi on Spalter because Fia ate 111 pulls
Now i miss chance to spark Skadi on Texas because Mlynar ate 112 pulls.
Fuck this game, i regret nothing

[gentle finch]

I skipped mlynar

to spark skalter

[glass monolith]

I don't even plan to use Mlynar that much, my closest planned usage of him is Chapter 12 boss and maybe DV annihilation

[scarlet ledge]

u like statcheck?

[gentle finch]

not with my weak squad

I'm on ex-3 rn

[glass monolith]

#strategy message
My roster is not even weak, i still "WTF?" at this

[gentle finch]

is that S stage

[glass monolith]

Seems like one

i seen EX boss stage and it at least had fair start

S boss just at you

[gentle finch]

🥲

[turbid badge]

just pray 2% chance for offbanner limited

[meager merlin]

I think I'm just gonna save and spark on two banners in a row

[turbid badge]

fair

[meager merlin]

Or the two limited banners in a row, probably spark NTRK when mumu comes around and spark someone else in the next limited banner that isn't the sui siblings

Maybe Chalter if savings allow it

[glass monolith]

When skipping Specter alter i had basic idea - Just get 1 6* and bail. To not waste pity from 24 free pulls

[turbid badge]

just pray dont need to spark limited

Thats onbanner

[glass monolith]

Man, i love Mumu banner because it has Mumu. But i hate that Snek so much

and it has 35% ratio

[latent anvil]

whys nobody like snek

[glass monolith]

Meh skill set, average issue reason to hate something

[turbid badge]

i like her

[latent anvil]

oh i thought it was lore related

[glass monolith]

Lore related i didn't fucking knew who Mumu is why everyone telling they were waiting for her for 3 years

[turbid badge]

lol

[gentle finch]

she not that bad

she's like

below mid

but not bad

[glass monolith]

I more hate than 30% off banner would be more win for me than winning that 35%
So.... Basically Mizuki in Chalter banner case

[turbid badge]

You have a 2% chance of getting a 6 star
70% of that 2% are penance and texas
30% is off banner
Penance and texas share that 70% equally so both have an indivual percentag of 35% of that 2%

and the other limiteds are 2% that are 5x while other offbanner like 0.

[glass monolith]

Just be lucky and 30% into Silverash or something

ah fuck i need to prefarm Lunacub

Texas banner is maybe first case when i want all 3

[turbid badge]

need to be super 🍀

[glass monolith]

let check up what sort of cringe we will have in future limited banners after year 1 got moved

Holy f-. I can't find OP i would hate in year 2+ 6*s

actually wait, Eben

[livid delta]

CC10 was max risked right

[glass monolith]

CC10 is manfred? Many times

CC9 was maxed only on TW

[livid delta]

Just wondering how cc10 will turn out with Mlynar in it

[sinful ferry]

chiave

[glass monolith]

I love how 5* pools are like, 50% trash 50% good at both sides

Oh and entire buff squad just yeeted

[turbid badge]

everythings nice for me after passenger

eyja gonna be rare tho, only shoperator and standard cant get her offrate

angelina still in newbie rn so

[glass monolith]

They will ship new newbie when this split happens

[turbid badge]

is there even a reason why they arent in recruitment

[glass monolith]

Ask HG

[turbid badge]

friston 3 looks so cool

[glass monolith]

what is his talent anyways?

[turbid badge]

his animations r cool

[turbid badge]

Allies in the surrounding 8 tiles take less damage for a time after deployment.

[glass monolith]

Huh.... Sounds like something nice for new players. I have too many damage reduction operators at this point to care

[turbid badge]

eureka my favorite 1*

[glass monolith]

God dammit why this year is so hot on 1*s

[gleaming lodge]

it's funny I like it

also this robot defender might be giga-busted for Defknights

it all depends on his DEF stat

(and his HP stat as well ig)

[turbid badge]

something to open with other than noir

With ur tight on do

dp

[glass monolith]

Imagine there will be defender cost x3 stages which def knights will manage to do with it

[tawny solar]

How do i do SSS LT-4

Glebe mine

[latent anvil]

Er

Rather odd squad

Where the vanguards and supporters

So many ranged fodder but no ranged carry

[glass monolith]

Sniper 5 Amiya s2 for triple the self stuns

Also i have alot fun stacking Astgenne in SSS, but she is e2 and moduled

[simple geyser]

Anyone might want to help me with smth, Im a newbie 🥲

[tawny solar]

Don’t have any good ranged carries

I only have three ranged 6*

Schwarz

Dorothy

And mostima

[latent anvil]

in that case

[tawny solar]

First time playing sss so idk what i’m doing

Xd

[latent anvil]

you shouldnt even bring ranged units

[tawny solar]

Ok

[latent anvil]

honestly, if you want to win, borrow a maxed mlynar and just stack with vg/guards

[tawny solar]

ok

[latent anvil]

idk if it possible to beat later stages but its best bet

[tawny solar]

Hm ok

Thank u

[turbid badge]

ah yes mlynar one cycling boss

Also irenes a good carry

she has a good slot on alot of the maps

especially toron

[cursive mango]

6-5

Is pain

[scarlet ledge]

6-5?

[hollow forum]

yeah it'll be a pretty rough time for you unless you have a brick

[hollow forum]

it's that one stage where hoshi is relevant because of those throwers on top

[scarlet ledge]

two def with aoe medic is enough to bait thrower

while aa killing it

[latent anvil]

12f good enough just dodge a few times

[scarlet ledge]

[cursive mango]

My best medic is perfumer, and perfumer can’t put heal these

I can bait with a defender, but then ones came out the other side lmao

Though everyone is under levelled

[lethal dragon]

Cm mode?

[storm current]

uh

you need an actual tank

beagle and cardigan are hardly anything

[turbid badge]

Yea

Use a strong protector/ or just borrow hoshiguma

[lethal dragon]

Borrowing hoshi S2 is probably the best option yeah

[storm current]

i bet theres a ling solo somewhere

[turbid badge]

lmao how tho

oh not Cm

Just regular

Yea

[cursive mango]

Will try tomorrow

I’ve basically not pulled since I started so this is all I have lol

[gentle finch]

teams looks solid

besides the defender stuff for that stage

[storm current]

i personally would bring gravel to block the possessed soldier

the thrower dont do much to your defender

but the melee will melt them

[cursive mango]

Yeah this is a cookie cutter team that did 6-2 to here

[storm current]

gravel is good for chapter 6 in general

a lot of hard hitting enemies that you want to deploy gravel to tank

[cursive mango]

Gravel is ready to go tho main issue is the throwers

Though I can use a support in the morning to do that

Got everything for both spectre and Lapland E2 just need 250k

So a waiting game there

[turbid badge]

[cursive mango]

Nani

[storm current]

how much def does big dragon have

the red thrower has 1k atk

[turbid badge]

761 Defense lol

7.7k hp

[storm current]

you need to stall 62s for red thrower to die

[eager gate]

ooh it's a level that's like an absolute extra cancer, but becomes a very funny bs once you have things to play with

[turbid badge]

The cm of this stage is pretty annoying

The top guys dont loose health

[eager gate]

So you do that

No Hoshi

[turbid badge]

use bubble

[cursive mango]

Ayyy we did it

[turbid badge]

[cursive mango]

Had to use perfumer

[eager gate]

congrats, now do the cm

[cursive mango]

[gentle finch]

Oppobrium

[cursive mango]

I has no sanity

Also that challenge mode looks cringe af

I’m hoping I can get Texas in like 40 pulls and then spend a few on the current one

Need more base units

[lethal dragon]

Yeah ignore it for now

[tawdry temple]

CM?

[eager gate]

Yes, there'a both a 1 hp and no damage done to throwers somehow

[sonic willow]

don't roll on current banner ever, it's horrid

[latent anvil]

Ayo

No one told me playwright was terribly useless

Mans literally died in two seconds

[sonic willow]

the challenge is finding the encounters

unironically

[latent anvil]

Yea I know, I was trying to speedrun phantom runs (spamming encounter) but randomly got the last encounter on floor 5 right before boss

[fresh copper]

Bison: The Great Wall

[limpid siren]

bye son

nice clear though

[rose patrol]

Are we getting a new SSS map today?
https://youtu.be/xoZ4ztGquIk

[vernal lion]

yea

today will be SSS with NL theme

[sonic willow]

is that map easy

[vernal lion]

dude is just standing over there, menacingly

@scarlet ledge

[glass monolith]

"There can't be new SSS stage, they didn't tweet 2 weeks in advance" - someone in help

[hearty moss]

can anybody tell me how to clear 2-7

the one with def increasing drones

[gleaming lodge]

Do you have a screenshot of the map ?

[vernal lion]

2-7 is 2 paths, 1 left 1 right?

[vernal lion]

what op do you have

[gleaming lodge]

Mate I don't remember ch2 maps, I played them literally 3 years ago

Wait is it the one with push tiles ?

[hearty moss]

exurvia, angelina, siege, goldenglow, liskarm, lappland, amiya, kroos, scavenger, perfumer, myrrhcuora

that's the team i am using

[glass monolith]

Those drones are not even tanky, kill em

If you think those drones are bad, i don't recommend chapter 5 and 8

[vernal lion]

2 snipers for the left and right drones

[hearty moss]

hm
somehoe they keep on passing my chars
coz they stack too fast once the drones come in

[hearty moss]

alright lemme give it a try

[glass monolith]

Use TWO blocking operators

[vernal lion]

use 3 block

[hearty moss]

tried it
then they invade the other side

[vernal lion]

vanguard and sniper exist

[glass monolith]

Use 2 block vanguards to print DP to deploy defenders

[hearty moss]

bro u said they are not tanky

my level 50 exu is taking like 4 secs on it

[vernal lion]

deploy order issue

[hearty moss]

what is that?

i am new
pls dont mind dumbness

[vernal lion]

enemy usually targets the last deploy op

[hearty moss]

still dont understand

[vernal lion]

if you deploy your defender first, then sniper last, your sniper will be targeted, and vice versa.

solution, deploy your sniper first, then defender last, your defender will be targeted and tank better for you

[hearty moss]

what abt enemies that come after deployment?

[vernal lion]

attack the first target inside its range

[hearty moss]

i see

[glass monolith]

(Laughs in killing drones for 30 seconds)

[hearty moss]

bruh

i am gonna blow both my in game and irl sanity on this level

[glass monolith]

You really overthinking, 2-7 is not even close to "fair game design" worth your irl sanity

[hearty moss]

I DID ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

FINALLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
GODDAMN

[vernal lion]

dude just wants to play CC9

[hearty moss]

what is that?

[vernal lion]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/964534324898721812/979386801217237052/BOOM.gif

[hearty moss]

dont tell me that's actually a stage

[glass monolith]

CC is event about picking your own poison, CC9 has... Rather unique flavor of poison

It was actual stage, and I personally just didn't pick risk called "this shit has alot of range" and killed them from save distance

[vernal lion]

CC9 risk is just "F*ck you, don't ever play the game again."

[glass monolith]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/829111228286763015/968816016203321364/bait.gif

[hearty moss]

bruh

[hearty moss]

that game mode looks painful

[glass monolith]

Oh that gif is just one mini event stage

[foggy grove]

isn't there challenge taking egg range risk

[vernal lion]

you know what is the best part of this? they don't even need vision to know where your op is, behind the wall too

Premonition Gaming

[near vapor]

the next story mission recommends an elite 1 squad so i have to grind those PR- missions a lot for chips right?

[glass monolith]

Arknights is alot of from bad to worse stages. You get characters, you build character, you can overcome old issues only for sadistic game designer coming up with new shit which counters your shit as if it is 4d chess

Nobody will care if you get Texas alter who basically uncommits balans of game, because right with her they will slap IS3 roguelike mode where your Texas get slapped faster than her on deploy skill activates

[shell olive]

My personal Favorite was surtr and Chapter 9

[turbid badge]

lol

[shell olive]

game quite literally gave every enemy 70 res just to try to remedy the surtr situation

[glass monolith]

Chapter 12 is just reworked NL mechanic - Have operator look wrong way and get fucked

[sonic willow]

Surtr still works
It killed all casters tho

[simple geyser]

Is Jaye good

[glass monolith]

As long as enemy is not high defense - OWNS

And his S1 is relevant in SN event whenever that shit is rerun

[turbid badge]

Yea

hes pretty good

[simple geyser]

what abt spot?

[turbid badge]

E1 him

Hes useanle and for base too

[simple geyser]

What's e1 ?(sorry a newbie here 🥲 )

[glass monolith]

promotion

[simple geyser]

ah, thanx

[glass monolith]

You can promote 3 star operators once, and twice for 4\5\6 star, price to do so goes up with rarity.

[simple geyser]

ooooh

can you help me with my squad, kind of stucky in 2-1

[glass monolith]

When friend supporting - level of operator is based on your highest promotion in team.
3 stars don't need chips for first promotion
5-6 stars need to farm AP-* stages for red vouchers to buy "glue" and factory craft Dual chips for second promotion

[simple geyser]

ah I see I see

thanks a lot

[glass monolith]

Also skill levels locked behind promotions, No promotion - skill level 4, First promotion - skill level 7, Second promotion - mastery unlocked after level 7 (Further upgrades specific skill, up to mastery 3)

[sonic willow]

show your units

[turbid badge]

waow

just learn to use arts damage for the guys with high Physical resistance

[simple geyser]

yeah but they're fast

[sonic willow]

these photos take forever to load jesus

[cinder pike]

Use supporters if they are fast

[simple geyser]

my defender melts like a butter against those defender opponent

[cinder pike]

Aka decel binders

[simple geyser]

I dont have a good one

[cinder pike]

Orchid works just fine

[glass monolith]

Early game high defense enemies take forever to start moving to degree of being soloed by Durin sometimes

[cinder pike]

Also that

[turbid badge]

Use a single target Medic

[sonic willow]

@simple geyser you can use combination of decel binder (like orchid) + core caster (like GG) to kill the shield guys

[turbid badge]

lol

[simple geyser]

Do I need to level up orchid

[sonic willow]

not really

[turbid badge]

no

lol

[cinder pike]

Gg should deal with it

[turbid badge]

this stage isnt fairly hard since you have Gg

Just have some sorts of arts damage on them

[cinder pike]

Only thing you need to do is make sure you optimise your start so that gg has enough time to kill defence crushers

[turbid badge]

and than build up ur defense it isnt that hard

[cinder pike]

Also good to put her in a place that she won't get distracted by closer enemies

Or just use steward talent

[turbid badge]

yea not too bad

[glass monolith]

E0 max level should be enough for early stages (first 3 chapters)

[dull pivot]

HOW TO SURVIVE?

[sonic willow]

you need a lot of healing if you want to burst

[dull pivot]

the boss disappear for 1 second.. so do my operators

[hollow forum]

what healing options do you have again

[turbid badge]

USe ptilopsis

[dull pivot]

Lumen+Perfumer+ Borrowed Saria+Robot+Myrrh

[turbid badge]

Or just control ur burst

[dull pivot]

Literally 5 Healers.....

[hollow forum]

ptilopsis s2 perfumer and lumen will probably do it

[glass monolith]

Ptilopsis S2 and scream "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" while her S2 is active (I'm only one who does that?)

[hollow forum]

as long as you time your skills correctly

[glass monolith]

Also you probably don't want to burst entire first phase as it will overlap all dots. Second phase can be bursted because boss death removes dot

[dull pivot]

I dont have ptilopsis :<

[hollow forum]

just, borrow

[dull pivot]

ptilopsis > saria?

what skill?

[turbid badge]

she has more hps

s2

she can heal entirely of the Poison

[glass monolith]

S2. Heal every 0.95 second on 3 targets, 0.75 if you find some mad man who did M3

[turbid badge]

dwsopey

[glass monolith]

Mastery of Ptilo S2 literally delays her second activation, like fuck this, i need to activate it twice

[dull pivot]

aight ima attempt

[turbid badge]

ptilo healing is so cracked , look at those bird knoght clears of chap 11

[dull pivot]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ptilo was trying to survive

they barely survive for 5 seconds

[glass monolith]

I outregen toxic piss with Sora at least until H stages stealth buff of +100% dot damage

[turbid badge]

?? wtf

r u just just surting the boss

like the whole first phase

[glass monolith]

You really shouldn't kill entire boss in 2 seconds, each DoT STACKS and lasts 30 seconds

[turbid badge]

[dull pivot]

I was deadass cheering for healing XDDDDDDD

[turbid badge]

lul

[hollow forum]

maybe you should uh, slow down a little and try not to burst him down instantly

that'll help

[dull pivot]

ohh ok ok xddd

[turbid badge]

Yea

lul

[glass monolith]

arknights is only game punishing you for doing what you need to do too well

[hollow forum]

[dull pivot]

I surtr + ifrit the boss

[glass monolith]

I heard overleveling Chen makes her paradox next to impossible because she kills faster than gets offensive charge

[hollow forum]

[dull pivot]

so now... ill just ifrit + irene

[glass monolith]

Dude, just use someone ONE

[dull pivot]

i can burst it to 30% hp then slowly lower it to 0 right?

[glass monolith]

You shouldn't kill phase 1 in one go, kill phase 2 in 1 go

[dull pivot]

how long does the poison last anyway?

[glass monolith]

and ignore him in bubble

30 seconds each

counts separately

[dull pivot]

oh hell nah

ptilopsis cant heal that long enough lmao

[glass monolith]

Her skill is 40 seconds long

[dull pivot]

oh really? wth

i must be using wrong skill then lmaooo

[turbid badge]

really?

Module

[hollow forum]

...did you not borrow an s2 ptilopsis or what

[glass monolith]

Well module fixes it

[dull pivot]

i dont know what even her skill that u guys are talking about.. i just borrowed someone e2

[hollow forum]

[dull pivot]

it a lvl 50 and enkephalin skill

its correct?

[rose patrol]

Mlynar lane

[hollow forum]

yeah, that's s2

[turbid badge]

is this cm?

or normal

[rose patrol]

SSS new stage

[turbid badge]

cm u have to be really careful, since toxic dist does alot more damage

[dull pivot]

im doing cm m8-8

[hollow forum]

we're talking to the other person

[turbid badge]

ah icic

makes sense

[hollow forum]

yeah the damage goes up pretty high for CM

though a borrowed ptilopsis / lumen / some other healers should be enough

[dull pivot]

my squad... this fine?

[glass monolith]

Just remember - you don't have to speed run boss, it takes forever to move

[turbid badge]

works

[hollow forum]

that'll do it

you can have one person deal with the boss

surtr, pozy, whoever

just one person only

[dull pivot]

tbh ch 8 scares me for some reason

this is why i skipped the boss and proceeds to ch9 xd

[turbid badge]

[dull pivot]

totally skill issue for me

[glass monolith]

Oh man you will love JT8-3

[turbid badge]

Yea

[hollow forum]

he already asked about jt8-3 yesterday

[dull pivot]

yeah i just started clearing ch 8 bosses xd

i already cleared all stages including cm... the only stage left is m8-8 cm

[glass monolith]

oh.... My CM progress is like 4-6

I simply never did it

[turbid badge]

spatula gaming

[dull pivot]

ty guys

finally done with all stages with cm too 🙂

[main halo]

That stage is a pain in the ass

[glass monolith]

Should have used Pozy S2 for dosaging damage dealing

[turbid badge]

i use schwarz to make a budget pot 6 exu

[main halo]

Does #strategy still get lockdown when the game maints?

People don't really off topic here anymore after all

[eager gate]

wdym people get offrails all the time here

[main halo]

Again?

[storm current]

strategy is for stage clear help

during maint

people cant play the stage

so no stage help

[main halo]

I once thought it's to prevent people from going off rail?

[storm current]

well ye

if theres no help

only derail

[main halo]

So #strategy still get locked down either ways

[eager gate]

you guys think s2-7 Ling is enough to handle sniper chip stage?

[storm current]

no

well

if you mean not solo

then ye

[eager gate]

Prolly gavial for ground

my thorns kinda weak

or maybe Pluma

[turbid badge]

yes

[glass monolith]

because "people can strategies while game is off"
So Help will be 50%: Where server?
and 50%: Who to build here my roster

[main halo]

Heh

[sour mantle]

Hi guys !
I was catching up on H stages from chap 9, I'm currently at H11-4 and I don't understand the boss damage output during his charged attack, can someone do a quick recap for me ?

[astral oyster]

his charged att dmg is same high dont bother tanking it except using mod 3 lvl 90 nian

[somber falcon]

3 simultaneous instances of 2700 phys dmg, 7s charge time

[astral oyster]

or 4 normal attacks

then 1 CA

[sour mantle]

2700 ? Where does this number come from ? On fandom its 1800*1,25

[astral oyster]

Hell mode extra dmg

[turbid badge]

Its H stages

[storm current]

H stage buff everything by 20% HP ATK DEF

[turbid badge]

Try giving Boss Damage reduction,( ATK DOWN DEBUFFS)

[sour mantle]

1800 is with extra damage base is 1600 (no H stages)

[astral oyster]

use prts instead https://prts.wiki/w/H11-4_尘霾行动-4/敌方情报prohttps://prts.wiki/w/H11-4_尘霾行动-4/敌方情报pro

[storm current]

1600 is 11-20, lv0
1800 is h11-4, lv1
but H11-4 buff atk def hp by 20% => 2160 actual atk

[turbid badge]

and than the attack dealing three instances of Physical damage equal to 125% of his ATK each

[sour mantle]

Oh okay, I was simply lucky on my best run...

[turbid badge]

2160x1.25 = 2700

[sour mantle]

I did a try where my Hoshi tanked it a lot of time under S3M3 (during his unstunnable buff) and it seems I was just lucky That's why I was confused.
Or under Aak's S2Lv7 (no math issue here)

Thx guys !

[turbid badge]

hoshi s3 m3 cna tank

[eager gate]

borrow someone's Mousse to have his damage permanently lowered and your Hoshi will stall him for a long time
But you'll be somewhat timegated on twigs cuz Mousse chips on his ass

[turbid badge]

it goves her enoigh defense to tNk but offskill she has to rely to atleast dodge 1

[sonic willow]

better to borrow a maxed nian

mousse 🚮

[eager gate]

I mean it's not like Nian herself seen much use

[sour mantle]

Okay, I'll just mod my Hoshi, she'll get the extra def needed and tank that way. Thank you again !

[turbid badge]

hoshi cant tank offskill unless she dodges 1 hit

she has the 4 block module

nian module increases defense + 20% def when blocking

[sour mantle]

When the boss isn't under buff, it can't do CA because i stun him, do not worry about it

[turbid badge]

u cant stun phase 2

[sour mantle]

Sure but I don't need to tank phase 2

[turbid badge]

true just melt

[sour mantle]

Exactly

[soft crystal]

Słoma was

Easy

[glass monolith]

It didn't stop me from planning to use Kroos alter to stun his charged attack Twice

[raw quail]

What's a key point in clearing 11-12? The missle tanks are the biggest hindrance and I want to know if there is a way to kill it quickly

[turbid badge]

Uhh

Just chalter them

or Use carnelian

[raw quail]

It one shotted carn lol

[turbid badge]

do u not bring healers

[vast wadi]

you need long range arts damage, something like Horn s2

[turbid badge]

we dont have lin yet

[scarlet ledge]

so pro

[turbid badge]

horn cant cover both lanes smhsmh
