"Just throw more bodies at it" 
Chapter boss skill btw works same way but targets globally
well thats annoying, I missed 3 enemies on lungmen 2
arts dmg, but then suggest a phys op 

wait, you didnt know Horn s2 does arts too?
I didn't use Horn to even know that 
s1m1 s3m3 
thing is only Ifrit has long enough range to hit the tanks and not get one shot with rockets lol
thats if you even have them in a line which isnt the case in 11-12
Just pile up bodies to tank special attack and then beat living shit out of it
ig Gladiia can pull it out with s3 and survive, not nearly enough to kill it in one rotation tho
defective carn smh
ughh eunectus would of lived to kill offskill if i had ptilo masteries

Carn 
Ptilo masteries delay her second activation, you sure? 
yea ill rather use lin to see sp spam
she needed more healing to keep up and than i could of activated eunectus skill againi only used her skill like twice 
WD-EX-8? Here's the squad I've had the most success with. My problem is the last wave of rage guys after I finish off the boss
he dies?
Yea
you uh, might want to change that yea
Change what?
Just gavi and Irene on either side of the blue box
everyone else on the timer?
sheesh thats harsh
usually u want to enter strikers with ur team back
Let eben or pozy do it then
yes thats fine, but also, where is the boss dying
eben prolly kills 2 at most
because if ur killing really fast i think you might want to slow it down
so that you can setup post boss kill
if ur killing boss hella late, thats not good either obviously
Right at the spot where he stops between the two ranged tiles
hm
the middle, thats pretty late i think
Surtr handles his fist phase
well you can either find out timings so that you can redeploy, or maybe bring a defender to make the boss stuck, giving you time to setup stuff
If I kill him too early, then the ranged dudes that spawn with the boss have a clear shot at the blue box
u can kill eb at the blue box tbh
like leave him on 1 hp
and just have ur shit come back on timer
I have hoshi and blemi both at e2 lvl 40
so u get ur stuff back to deal with everyone else
like on top of blue box is fine
u just want to buy time
But don't the red ranged dudes spawn after you kill the boss?
yea, khant is saying ur deploy timers will be low enough taht you can deploy them at the end
if you kill boss extremely late
im saying you can put a defender and hold the boss for a bit, giving you time to setup stuff outside the fart ranges for the final wave
There's a healer problem then, with how I've positioned them, it makes it so I have to deploy that defender two blocks ahead of the blue box
mlynar kills no?
Can blemi solo with S1 no mastery?
just retrest mlynar the moment hes abt to kill
and finish eb off with ur other stuff
at the blur box
The boss I mean
anything solos phase 1
with healing
phase 2 u stall with protectors
hmm ig u can just use hoshi s2 + lumen
would it work idk
i remember my hoshi would deal too much dmg so it'd pop farts too fast 
think the setup is
eb in the smoke
defender outside smoke
so eb gets atkspd reduction?
idr
dont even think eb gets atkspd reduction from his own fart
You mean the hook comes out much later than anticipated
But still pulls eventually?
That one is a known bug
pull further? enemies have different weights
well on kyos video, cliffhart pulls into the abyss but mine doesnt
is urs skill level 7
Force issue probably
negative

yes
OH NO
kyo usually says what skill level is needed
Pulling applies a changing force on the enemy the scales based on distance between puller and enemy, but also the difference in weight and force
hm
do you have rope? shes cheaper and basically does the same thing
I remember I had a strat for this stage like a month ago
Since the force is lower at lower skill levels, the pull force is much lower and thus moves the enemy much shorter
breakpoints are skill level 4 and 7
that was a long way to say u need higher skill level
Everyone was helping one guy and gave him like 4 different viable strats
let me see if I can find the convo
might be useful
Igneus go sleep it's like 69pm your time
igneus where 
reaction
Das a lot of pm
in ur walls
found it
there are a lot of different strategies for the stage from here down @craggy turret
what is this ๐จ what do i do
Click Details
๐คจ
was a tad bit late
I think essential oil or baking powder ( if you have healing) is best to take
do mine too 
do mine too 
U guys play sss?
Wake up 9cd, we have 20 caster chips to recraft 
You ALWAYS SL7 unless otherwise stated, since SL7 is cheap
(I have e1 1 SL5 Gravel and she still does all the shit you need her for
)
Oh fuck new SSS is boss/mini-boss rush 
Plastic, Ingra, Viviana, Left-hando, Range bro, Tola, Melee bro, Whatever the hell that is
my elysium has been sl6 for probably over a year now
wtfart wgz
My ely's been e2 1 m6 and I've used him like twice
i used him in break the ice once
and in nl-s-5 for spawncamp
but otherwise he collecting dust
BtI boss killing incoming
oh fuck 2 blue boxes, come on, SSS, you was so fun for 6 maps
I spawn killed Plastic, Left-hando, Range bro, Tola and Boss so i am cool with it 
at least i got the trim 
wowa
https://krooster.com/u/Neckes > what to do next? I'm thinking maybe Mizuki S1M3, or Rosa S2M3. Is there something I can upgrade for IS3 that can be useful?
whats at the end of the new sss
Sure mizuki , kal s2?
Yeah, that's also a good Idea, need to put on the list too
As usual, its still snail family boss. The boss will let u choose 1 of 3 diff buff for it Periodically
Atk def, stacked true dmg dot for ur ops, or slightly buffed mob spamm
o
boss stand like forever there, u prob will kill it before even move
thats one fat vivviana
Its still gone to with 1 ash skill
Sloma done
Out of the 4 maps which did you guys think was easiest -> hardest
Assuming you can borrow a carry from someone
sloma>glebe>rest
or maybe glebe first
but i dont like sloma map 7 or glebe map 7/8
Sloma easiest, they prob made it in purpose
Oh this was for hardest to easiest
nah I thought sloma way harder than anything else
Its from easiest still
Most each annoying enemies just waiting for their death
And no mob rush 
After nerfed sss smt like that just ๐
thorn on f6 face right better
Really?
thats what ive done every single time, works for me 
thorns alone is usually enough so yes
Oh I see
you can also uh
perfumer f4 maybe
face right, ifrit and pozy wont get hit by anything i think
dont think it really matters too much, you either kill phantom or you dont 
yea, thats the usual
setup i do, aoe healer with arts on top, thorns face right, (in aoe healer range) and then some burst for boss
Now that I placed thorns right, (with +~60 aside up), do I not need to place mudrock there?
Aspd up
well thorns probably will get stunned at least once, but other than that he wont leak much
@raw quail
Yea?
is that Pozy E2s
Yup
can you spawncamp boss 
oh you don't have an elemental medic
I already placed pozy lol
well you should be fine
100% kill rate
i dont have pozy so i didnt know 
nice
Annihilation 3 is much harder to clear 400 tho right?
ehhh
anni 3 you procrastinate
anni 3 is not that bad
Saving the weekly sanity for the event poggies
Cricket
Is new map out??
ye
Wtf
been out since reset
nobody really talked about it because everyone's skipping on sss anyway 
wtfart yuu, lazy dokutah not completing sss on release

I was doing CW s stages
This ass stage took too long
I can't do this event
I have too much exams
Unironically IS is on the second to last day of my exams
S-4 is really hard
Oh no
Good luck
I don't see why she would, since elemental dmg doesn't exist in ch5 iirc
5-10 Faust?
yes
Just use monst3r
who is that
why would you use kal on 5-10 
if you're borrowing might as well borrow mlynar
he can probably tank faust pretty well
But keeping him alive uh
medic issue
difference in healing
In low rarity your best pick is sussuro
I have her
Does she need skill 7? Mine is only level 6
Yep
might as well do 7
Ok I will try this
unless you're somehow broke
Sussuro has one of the strongest skill burst healing skill in game
there's a rather high density of possessed junkmen that can be problematic for low DPS but basically yeah
Check the difference and decide Yourself I don't remember
I tried but my defender dies in end
beginning one of the big crushers is keep stunning my specter
You can S2M3 her but that's overkill and unnecessary 
I did anyway
Mine is still E1 50
same
Never needed more
I S2M3'd ptilo instead
E2ed ptilopsis because yes I wanted that talent upgrade
Sussuro that good?
Gonna E2 honeyberry
mlynar will kill all of the crushers and memphisto by himself, and he'll also be targeted by faust due to his taunt, so yeah
as long as you have sufficient healing to keep him alive, you should be fine

Yeah it's very strong
tahnks
will try this
Mlynar has good HP so he can tank Faust
Ew hater with a blue woman PfP
But yeah healers will be needed
when do you ever need that much healing though 
M8-8 wants aoe/multi target
Jt8-3
doesn't need that much healing
wouldn't jt8-3 be better with aoe medics anyway
But yeah you can just add another healer or ng
since you're already bringing FRD anyway
you can solo heal JT8-3 with a consistent healing
like whisp or mulberry
what about h8-4 though 
It's easier to just keep thorns on the map and heal him
yuu so pro
I can't believe mlynar deleted it so easy
they gonna love civilians
mlynar is cracked as usual
It's chapter 5

no one was surprised
You guys are trying help clearing H stages while I'm still busting my ass off 1-7 farming 
I still haven't done H8-2 because I'm lazy
Currently getting M3 on Mizuki
I've done everything except h8-4 and h9-6
probably not touching those in a long while

i complete all
They are kinda easy once you get the gimmick

H9-6 is wave management, H8-4 is boss management
i@4-8 fRm
h9-6 is pain if u cant handle waves very well
true

thankfully i can
H9-6 mandragora can be stalled
mhm
2 strong healing sources + any unit with decent res and hp pool would be able to tank her phase 1 indefinitely
Specter with Gladiia mod 3 will do?
I just had 2 medics on a defender nearl stall her until i could set up the rest of the team and max out my dp
specter is better off laneholding in this stage
although I am thinking from full AH perspective
but skadi tanks better yeah
Czerny:
I actually haven't read his kit
I should probably do that
Is he niche even amongst 5*?
well
he is occasionally useful
hes art tank and sometimes art dmg can be a problem
I don't think it's consistent, the beam on H9-6 if the stage has the 20% buff I think it has is 6.3k arts damage. Even with Gladiia module reducing it to 4.4k and a E2 90 splater with module 2 lvl 3 to increase her max HP she'll survive with like 140 hp if she's hit by the phase 1 beam from full hp. The cooldown is 15s so the second beam will kill and mandragora will walk past and no longer be blocked within 2 more beams even if spalter reblocks after the first time.
If splater is on module 1 the beam will straight up kill her in 1 activation even if Skadi is along with the module to increase AH max hp.
skadi is good option but I haven't tried skadi outside of nightingale range (skill inactivate on NG)
She definetly survives on S3 up though
skadi straight up has 1k more base hp, of course she does
she has like 3.9k base hp at E2 90, she can straight tank the beam with S3 up without any help
Oop sorry for late reply, was out for drinks with colleagues
Mizuki generally takes s1/2, s3 doesn't really need masteries since there's only two maps where it's the best option
Defenders that specialize in defending as a whole is pretty niche already
His niche against arts damage let's him stand out since his only other competition is like Matterhorn ig
his niche is being hoshiguma skill 2 against casters
I mean if you think about all the options against heavy arts damage
There's like Nightingale
If you don't have her then there's Matterhorn / Czerny
this is for defenderknights
ok
And then if you don't have them then the alternative is like
High HP pool ops like Skadi, Matoimaru, Quartz
mhm
usually dealing with enemy casters beyond having nightingale has been more offensively oriented
with lunacub we'll have 3 snipers with camo/invis to assassinate them
Can't solve all your problems with killing
czernys pretty nice
beyond killing them, baiting with frd's have been the other traditional option
mhm
I think the last regular caster mob that has actually give me trouble was the IC ones.
wth was the range of those things
Eh
6 tiles?
I don't remember it
I don't remember them being a problem
the red ones in the EX CM maps were a bad surprise
I guess after a certain point nothing ever really feels like a problem
esp that one map where they spawned in groups of 5
So you have to create your own constraints to introduce a challenge in a game you can just bruteforce everything
Yup
Which is also why arguments against specific operators is so boring cause there's always an easier solution using something else
Like why use x when 'y' exists
Yes it's true that it'd be a much simpler solution but I think it's more fun to look at a specific operators kit and see where they excel
just wondering, what are a couple of the easiest annihilation's available rn? i need the gold certs. ty
What have you done so far
I agree
only the permanent annihilations give gold certs iirc
and of those, chernoberg is probably the easiest
only the main 3 and the current
i thought the others gave gold certs, hold up i might be on something lemme check
you, um, might want to read their phase rewards
A lot of annihilations are usually made pretty easy by owning specific operators
Obviously you can clear them without said specific ops but it just means it'll require a little more thought
I think most are trivialized by certain 6* borrow ye
So I guess my question is what do you have
Except for like
i could send a photo if u wanted
A krooster account would be ideal but a picture works, sure
beating most annihilations won't be a problem, but none of the ones outside the permanent 3 will give you gold certs
must have misread the rewards
mb
they give red certs instead
not really
You mean the thorns + purestream map?
you mean the dorothy map
Based dorothy gaming
the ice slugs can't hurt you if they're blown up on the other side of the map
Frozen anni is hard mainly cuz ass freeze mechanic and extremely tanky enemies
Unironically used ambriel on that map lol
red cleave can 2 shoot defender without frozen
i just kept a flagbearer on the field, blow up the slugs with dorothy mines, and had gravel eat the freeze drones
But like
S3?
Hey shu
I'm shu
Are you going for pot4 texas
I'll think about it
I'm gonna see how I do with 100 pulls
frozen abandoned city was hard on release but nowadays it's much simpler to just brute force with 1 E2 borrow
Make her like 6% tankier
Still trying to decide between p6 Yato or p6 Texas
But I also want to pull for chungus and ines
Gonna skip Reed prob
sorry wifi's being scuffed might take bit longer
Skip reed for rerun
loli so pro
I'd probably just borrow her if anything
True
I'm only doing it cause I like the MH franchise
u mean 100
You mean 97 
oh god setting up a krooster is gonna take a year lol
wifis being stupid and wont let me do anything so ill do that ig
ill be back in a bit
Np
is this for the final nuke from kristen?
i rarely updatet my krooster
Can't be since you can just silence that
ill probably forget it exists after im done here lol
silence the op or silence the mechanic?
Silence the explosion after death
She detonates all the balls when you kill her but you can silence it
I'm asking because silence alter + skadance S1 is one of the ways to cold sell the nuke
She's not silence immune
HG, you ok there?
But somehow she's bind immune
Silence immunity is more like a 2021 thing
Absolutely insane
wao
ur mom is bind immune
wait seriously?
you can silence that?
Lots of things you can silence nowadays
i was just thinking of twilight of wolumunde
I guess the map designers are learning how to play around it
yet you cant silence the stupid suicide bombers

but kirsten you can lmao
I mean it's such a small aspect of the fight
You still have to deal with everything else
real
ok, so this is my hastily made and probably wrong krooster
now i can ask about what annihilations i should do lol. sorry if it triggers anyone
not everything obviously, just what i usually use
^
is that a challenge to my low IQ?
ill fail them all and be back here within the hour
i mean thorns though lol
Hey listenโ lmao
I'm just saying it's possible
But you still have to put some effort in
what do yall farm in dead weeks
(kyostin guide)
mats for operators i plan to build in the near or distant future
cert or books
dont really have anything to lose other then the sanity for getting 399 kills ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
you can force quit to not lose sanity
nice stacked acc
mlynar surtr
i only started in november last year lol, i just got really lucky with like 5 top ops in 2 months
idk
not sure if theres any hidden mechanic to that
i got 2 in my first 2 months, but i havent got any in the last 5
wtf pro
i got a lot of top ops too ye
I got none in 2 months 3 in the next 2 months and none since
looking at my first message in #salt-mines i apparently got 6 in a week
idk if i belive myself
Omg whel
i think it was like
that sounds insane lol
good for u
my 18th top op
get me siege dupe
atleast she have atk+
so thats good for afk
theres three ive posted in #salt-mines
I just want indra dupe
shu whats ur siege pot at
pot6 bag
P6 of course
ill aait for another offrate bgp
back when in started
cringe
i picked warf
lapp is still pot1
I got p6 Siege before Bagpipe came to recruit lmao
Do you have s2m3 siege
Ya
Siege gaming 

siegesweep
wtf pro
Sieged
Glasgowknights kinda useless without Siege so
soon 
Just buy instant e2
i intended to max lv highmore and texalt
cant be me
ngl i might just get highmore on is3
and dip out
i already burnout on cn
playing it
I've only been doing ending 1 on CN

Gonna try to d15 ending 2, 3 and 4 on global
im not sure if i can d15 end 2
is ange weedy the only solution to d15 izumik?
cuz otherwise im not sure how you are supposed to kill him


i think ive seen lee
I almost beat d10 yesterday
but you will need to ask kermit
Then emergency node
shu
Honestly emergency harder than boss fight
i heard
you love possesed thrower cm at f5?
lumen modX is a good pick for ending 4
f5-4 is death sentence
It was the only one I can pick
if u dint have good ops
I didn't have a choice LMAO
to clear it
since he can wake up sooner then cleanse other
especially the possessed thrower cm
ngl im not sure what investment do i want for lumen
s3m3 second mod lumen
modX seem relevant for hard content
- extra resist duration
modY is just more heal
thereโs a squad that gives blue blade dance at the beginning right?
yes
Level 3 relic squad
relic lv 3
i heard everyone use that for d15
You have to pay for it though
true or nah?
blue bladedance is for solo run
i didnt lvl it
wdym pay for it
You have to level the skill tree to unlock it

Also I think it's part of the expansion set?
have fun killing manty
make sense
texas alter now lol
mayer
Texas s3 and Kal mod is what I use
i already
no texalt is cope
e1 mayer
Also I've been using gnosis
@livid delta
And sometimes I'll grab the monster hunter welfare
sloma 8 killed me
no healing
lmao did you take the bleed
ye
Still sad flinger can't hit air
i never get to draw saria or my medic or any form of healing
dont
d10+ f4/5 is not fun
i'll just spawn camp harder next time
and not picking bleeding
so pro
waz dat
infinite stacking blade dance
elaborate
@livid delta
it increase 20% atk and defense every fight done
stack infinitely
but only apply to 1 ops
It's better bladedance
Isn't it hp too
Ohk
which is why solo run usually go with blue bladedance
since guarantee for the one you want
kek
Nice
I've been stuck on H11-4 for a week now. I can get this far, but the moment the next wave of eaters spawn Nian dies and I can't stall boss long enough for her to come back. I'm about to lose my mind over this
use shamare ffs
uh
not E2
Tried that, but ran into the issue of low dps

Well obviously not otherwise I wouldn't be here
zenith what are you cooking
Rot eater eats nian 4k
you can spawncamp the roteaters
she will trivialize the stage
yea
you can feed them some ntrk dinner too 
ntrk, they eat, you kill, you feed ntrk again, very high value
I've been doing that and they don't die fast enough
who r u using to spawnkkll
ur bagpipe can pop them 
Just put mlynar two tiles above SK facing left and let him deal with new wave(s) later
Boss airstrike kills them before eaters die
btw have you tried uh
putting your ops next to each others
to soften the missile dmg
Yes, they still die
since the dmg split among the targt
judt use adderlane whm
i spelt out 'LOL' with my missiles
Just pop ptil then
smh alderdale still 3 uses in that image
wgz pro
Or yeah use allerdale
Cause I didn't need it for phase 1
and it was on purpose too 
Leite pro
I have 0 of those options
just nuke the rot chasers
U have horn and Mlynae
My Nian mod 2 just barely lives with E1 Shining
but the moment she blocks 1 more thing she dies
wat r u other ops
nothing that can deal damage
I really can't do better than this
i think you have suboptimal surtr uses, she can do so much near the end
kill multiple of those eater while dpsing boss
not yet
because those eater dont go straight into the lane, they make a weird circle iirc
lazy rn

owl
Behind Nian to help kill trees/eaters
Wait wtf zenith not playing birbknights nvm
is mlynar borrow good
i never used him so idk
oh ye zenith
Horn best bird
You try birdknights vs h11 stages
thats the problem
is texas bird?
oh ye you can try spawncamp strat
I could, but the rest of the stage is my main issue
@cyan gorge U could use roberta
I don't have her built yet
idk seems doable , Mlynars a really good borrow and can take the waves down to pretty low amounts of health, do u have any other e2 Operators?
You guys should know that I decided to stall steam knight to death when I could've stunned him instead 
You can't stun him in phase 2 anyways
might be out of date
Yeah kal can hold left as long as you don't forget to activate her skill
ah
(me, failing 3/4th of my runs forgetting to activate her skill) <- 
Okay I updated it
over who
lmfao
I kinda need everyone
I have dp issues as is
ah okay, but whats gummy for?
stalling eaters
hmm, i always remember dp never being an issue until maybe the very very end 
huh
If I don't stall, Mlynar doesn't kill them fast enough
I can't drop Myrtle
Eaters as in vore guys or the tree guys
oh
tbh I can probably drop Astgenne as Mlynar kinda overlaps her role
true
I can try Shamare but idk if it'll solve my main issue
i think, you need some support dps on right side
that's what Horn is for
vore has 0 def 
exu prolly shred that
yea they have horn
but like does gummy really need to stall the vore guys? just plop nian s2 no?
and than horn can just eat while mlynar half chipped them already
yep when dont have vored ops
anyways i feel like canta is a better start on this map than myrtle, since first of all u can use her to break the trees, and she also can print DP since trees just stand there
I wonder if Cheeto is slightly better for killing eaters from spawns with her multi target S3
So now I got this
Yea looks good
i would try but my nian mod 3
, so she doesnt need shining Talent boost
if they are all same of taunt, the last deployed order will take next
waow buson cool eggects
i would also try but my nian is mod1, i just coinflip hoshi every time 
This is my usual opener, I originally used Gummy to stall that first eater
you can probably have cheeto handle that eater instead
how do u deal with the trees? do u just chip them
just leave the trees for the end like me 
kill all the small mobs, then use monster/Surt/Bagpipe to kill them one at a time
ah icic
i left some trees last
mlynar doesn't I'm pretty sure

probably not, i just used lumen+hoshi for one side and double healer+nian for other
horse nuke it
im levelling him for base now 
i borrowoed a spalter on that stage
roberta shield op blocking 1 instance of damage and than 2 at e2
i used spalter top
with s2 and she slowly swallowed them while i broke their branches
how does one even get to that point, im gonna go try that
I messed up
my suzu died 
I lost
Not satisfying, surtr didn't nearly kill all
you can definitely stall 67 seconds 
they both die and Nian doesn't come back
phase 2
I was too busy micromanaging left side
oh ye that thing, the shield is so good
also no where to place
just place ptilo facing down
shield is what makes my run possible

unless u stall back just try unless u alrd quit
smh just stal till surt
yea monster, then doll on the big hit, monster lives, you get surtr back, and then you win because nian is back
and then you wake up because you failed on step 3 because its a e1 70 shamare and youre dreaming 


when i see gravel anything possible!!
