i am gonna go back to play h8-4

see how fun it is

not fun

[elder flume]

oh hey someone replicated it
#bot-spam message

[cyan gorge]

I think this is it

[elder flume]

thats nice

[vernal lion]

tell dude to report in #tech-support instead lol

[elder flume]

bugreport has always been botspam thing no?

since its a command

last time i did bugreport was in botspam tho idk about now

[vernal lion]

but why did he has to do it 3 times ?

3 times of report?

and the same

[elder flume]

messed up the steps

shrug

bugreport took like 6 command submissions to go through and be verifyable

[vernal lion]

I once have reported bug in Azur Lane server and it worked faster than like this

[elder flume]

they submit one message per bolded text lines

[scarlet ledge]

wtf is that

[elder flume]

so basically you have to input 5 messages and if you cancel due to wrong then lol restart

[scarlet ledge]

rainchan

[elder flume]

hello towaist

[vernal lion]

yea, looks like it, but you have to write it simple to understand lol

[scarlet ledge]

so pro

[vernal lion]

even more complicated

[scarlet ledge]

[glass monolith]

[foggy grove]

f app crashed on floor 7

[scarlet ledge]

lol

[glass monolith]

F

[latent anvil]

💀

[vernal lion]

when I was playing SSS on my phone, there's like 69.69% chance to get f by app crashed

[glass monolith]

My app started leaking CPU, RAM, and god knows what else at end of 8th stage

Last time i had so much lag was Anni 9

[vernal lion]

@scarlet ledge boss does actually has 7 block counts when there are 6 balls

[livid delta]

Just Heidi + Nian + Gavialter

[elder flume]

just saga

hungry dog breaks another event just like usual

[glass monolith]

WAIT WAIT WAIT, SPACE has reduced enemy weight?

[wicked halo]

Finally got a top op. Do i go for dp recovery and aim for bagpepe ? I already have siege tho

[limpid siren]

the only other option is a crapshot anyway

[wicked halo]

i actually only need bagpepe from the top ops so still kinda lucky i even have dp-rec 😄

[limpid siren]

a 50/50 for bagpipe is the best odds you have there

[wicked halo]

ok lets see 😄

damn no expedited plans!!!

bought an expedited plan for 5 gold certs >.<

[pale orchid]

[wicked halo]

bagpepe came home!!!

What would be a good pick from 6* selector

kal tit / goldenglow?

[pale orchid]

between the two prob gg since i heard kal tit will show up in shop sometime soon

but do check with others

[eager gate]

Selector up to gg already wtf?

[wicked halo]

Oki thanks!

I kinda used my golden certs for tickets for Texas tho

[pale orchid]

i mean kal tsit isnt a bad option either

im also planning to use yellow certs for texas tickets if needed

[wicked halo]

im not a big fan of GG , but besides ifrit i don't really have magic dmg

and it seems shes the better option than eyja

[pale orchid]

i mean ifrit should be enough?

i havent had a 6* caster(except eben) and ive been alright

[wicked halo]

you are actually right

its just

i never had a caster besides ifrit and want to have one 😄

[pale orchid]

[glass monolith]

I am fan of using active skills and global bullshit.
And look at that, GG has both

[pale orchid]

i just want ifrit lol

im not touching ebenholz

[sly pivot]

wtf

[pale orchid]

little shit troll my mylnar banner

[wicked halo]

maybe ill just go for something thats good in is3

[sly pivot]

get horn?

[hollow forum]

then pick gg

kal should be showing up in the shop pretty soon as well, so there is that

[sly pivot]

horns p good in is3

[wicked halo]

may just toss a coin when the time comes 😄

[limpid siren]

suspiciously feminine statement coming from khant

[sly pivot]

wtf...

ebens the better choice

[limpid siren]

potential skinwalker

[sly pivot]

tbhtbh

[pale orchid]

i dont want to burn resources

[eager gate]

sir you have a phalanx caster right here

[pale orchid]

on ebenholz

[sly pivot]

but if i were to be a normal person

i would say horn

[wicked halo]

oh yea angie been with me since launch

[wicked halo]

im considering that too

i won't lie i burned 60 pulls on her banner with murdrock

only to get pot 2 murdock in 60 pulls 😄

[pale orchid]

💀

[sly pivot]

nows ur chance

[wicked halo]

i don't really know much about horn besides she is a ranged defender

is she a good character?

[pale orchid]

shes decent

[scarlet ledge]

i love horn

[sly pivot]

ranged dps

[glass monolith]

She does numbers, people love numbers, also funny buff target

[sly pivot]

have u seen this one video from this youtuber?

[scarlet ledge]

minus ello

[wicked halo]

is she good Aak target ?

[sly pivot]

https://youtu.be/TGViAVviVgo

[eager gate]

Aak her to proc talent yes

[wicked halo]

will check it now

thanks!

[hollow forum]

sort of

she has a 2nd life, so yeah

[wicked halo]

i am aak enjoyor 😄

[sly pivot]

np

glad to help

[limpid siren]

horn ex tier??

[pale orchid]

sex tier yes

[sly pivot]

bear in mind this video is 7 months old

[limpid siren]

#arknights tier comment

[sly pivot]

but it should help

[pale orchid]

[sly pivot]

also horn isnt dying to an aak

[eager gate]

aw goddamnit why is horn def more than 600
She's never on the frontlines anyway hg pls
Can't Aak her for talent, but that just means she has to burn herself for it

Yes I noticed

[sly pivot]

its still good synnergy

[limpid siren]

why is a defender's base def... decent?

[sly pivot]

no way

[limpid siren]

huh

[sly pivot]

aaking horn is still viable even if u arent proccing her talent

[eager gate]

why do yall call my aoe sniper a defender

[limpid siren]

i think aak on horn is usually a case of 1 + 1 < 2

[cyan gorge]

You clearly have never experienced the glory of melee Horn

[limpid siren]

deadass just add another dps and finish the job the good old fashioned way

[sly pivot]

aak moment

[limpid siren]

it's just the case for support units

[tidal sedge]

Speaking of melee Fortresses, how do Firewhistle's skills work at melee

[limpid siren]

outside of wanting to use them for fun

[eager gate]

Horn s3 is interval so it still should synergize great with aak's aspd

[limpid siren]

uhh

wrt firewhistle i'd have to go look through old conversations

[cyan gorge]

the same as ranged iirc

[limpid siren]

but from memory she slaps out the dot all the same

[scarlet ledge]

i dont even use aak horn

[tidal sedge]

Oh. That's nicer than I thought.

[wicked halo]

Btw i was away for some months from the game but i read on reddit that rosmonti got a module finally! Does it make her better?

[tidal sedge]

I thought s1 would only apply the DoT to 1 enemy

[sly pivot]

yea

like 50% dps increase

or smth

[wicked halo]

Damn thats good

I really enjoy using her

[sly pivot]

module adds another splash

to her attacks

[wicked halo]

Yeah i read that , but people didnt seem to be excited about it on the reddit

🤷‍♂️

[sly pivot]

well rosmontis isnt faring so well nowadays

its a pretty big upgrade on her nonetheless

if ure rosm enjoyer ull eat well

[latent halo]

It will leave the fire too

Dw

She's a good is3 starter too

[tidal sedge]

I assumed s2 would be fine

[scarlet ledge]

extra dps is always nice

[latent halo]

Cn def supp main uses firewhistle to start too

[tidal sedge]

Interesting

[eager gate]

the problem I'm seeing with her mod: it won't make her hurt targets she can't hurt right now, it will just make her better at what she already does well-clearing weak mob
But it's probably fine? Idk

[scarlet ledge]

kek i planned to raise her
then i pulled on qui bai and got spooked by horn instead

[cyan gorge]

i need her cause bird

[limpid siren]

iirc it just drops the aoe on the target's tile

[limpid siren]

suspicious

but i guess i'll find out soon enough

[scarlet ledge]

@latent halo btw imme get to only highmore max pot on is3 and dip out

[limpid siren]

dipma?

[tidal sedge]

Wait. Am I confusing her skills

[scarlet ledge]

already tired on is3 cn

[limpid siren]

whose skills

[tidal sedge]

Oh. I'm not. So that's still nice

Firewhistle

[limpid siren]

oh

she's just the usual mix of "power-strike" and funny steroid, isn't she?

[scarlet ledge]

igneus so pro
already have firewhistle

[limpid siren]

i wish

fortress defenders are fun

but armchair analysis is usually wrong to some degree

[scarlet ledge]

i really plan to raise firewhistle

if horn didnt spooked me

[limpid siren]

i'm hopeful that my current impression is wrong

because right now i think she's worse than ashlock

[glass monolith]

I will raise Lunacub, don't @ me

[limpid siren]

kinda based

lunacub is so funny to me

i think she has such a sensible and well-designed kit

and she does her job well

or at least she's well geared for it

but

[tidal sedge]

Deadeyes have pretty amusing kits in general

[limpid siren]

i think she's probably going to be the worst deadeye

[scarlet ledge]

@limpid siren

[limpid siren]

wtf cool license revoked

[tidal sedge]

Pot 6, hm.

[scarlet ledge]

ngl i didnt even see her on sniperknight

[tidal sedge]

How much did you roll for Chong Yue and/or Lin

[limpid siren]

she showed up in at least one sniper run that i remember

it was a TW map

and literally all she does

is camp the towers

and never activate her skill

[tidal sedge]

[limpid siren]

i'm excited to see if en receives the same insanely bugged lunacub that cn got

[latent halo]

[scarlet ledge]

75 pulls
1 nian
1 ceobe
2 lin
1 chongus

[tidal sedge]

Damn

Pretty hot luck

[glass monolith]

I find her neat for bullshitness of IS2/3 and some potential future events

[latent halo]

Glint , firewhistle and 12f

The casual start

[tidal sedge]

Was that something to do with her targeting?

[latent halo]

And stable one

[tidal sedge]

12f?

Oh wait

The hope tax

[latent halo]

Aoe arts

And physical dodge

[limpid siren]

her on-kill camouflage during s2 had some adverse interactions when she first dropped iirc

[latent halo]

Enemy doesn't have high res on early floor

[limpid siren]

something along the lines of her being unable to reapply camouflage through kills unless the previous camouflage hadn't already expired?

[latent halo]

High D add res to it

But some mob don't even have res

[limpid siren]

the post i have about it is in broken english

so it's hard to say exactly

what's true is that more than one thing about lunacub was broken on release

[tidal sedge]

Oh. I remember a thing where her targeting acted funny

[limpid siren]

that too

[scarlet ledge]

ngl im glad i got nian

[tidal sedge]

She'd shoot a ufo over lowest def thing in range

[limpid siren]

but the aerial targeting wasn't really a bad thing

[scarlet ledge]

i will still raise lunacub kek

[limpid siren]

same

[tidal sedge]

Likewise

[scarlet ledge]

i already have 3 deadeye e2

[tidal sedge]

I have every deadeye at e2

[latent halo]

What's a deadeye

[tidal sedge]

Although I ended up using Andreana a lot less than I expected

[glass monolith]

I still can't find time to e2 max pot Firewatch

[scarlet ledge]

minus smh

my fw loves me

[limpid siren]

low def hatred

[glass monolith]

THICC range snipers with attack lowest def targeting

[limpid siren]

lurker

how do you feel about the claim that firewatch is the best 5* sniper

[latent halo]

Oh , ceobe s3

[tidal sedge]

Hmm.

[scarlet ledge]

my fw is m6
andreanna is m3 only i dont run ah cause spec 2 missing
fart is m9

[tidal sedge]

I can see that tbh

[scarlet ledge]

when fw see ranged enemies

red numbers

[tidal sedge]

She hits hard and consistently, good uptime, invisibility tricks, and generically good ops like La Pluma neatly cleans out trash that'd risk distracting her desired target

Over time on IS2 I stopped drafting Marksmen since I'd rather have Firewatch the majority of the time

[scarlet ledge]

smh

[limpid siren]

i hit that point too

[scarlet ledge]

i just go whatever on marksmen

[limpid siren]

i played a bit of is2 recently, just to remind my bones of the format

[scarlet ledge]

boring playign same comp

[limpid siren]

and i pushed myself to use kroos over firewatch

[full finch]

kroos barely gets the job done
if at all

[limpid siren]

i think kroos is firewatch's only real competition for the top slot

huh what

[full finch]

maybe I'm skill issue

[limpid siren]

what is 'the job' in this instance

[scarlet ledge]

hmm

what job

[tidal sedge]

It helps that Firewatch is very good in Lucian stage, if I can't kill him in one pass Firewatch can go invis to avoid getting screamed to death while still popping dancers and balloons

[full finch]

killing enemies

[limpid siren]

i think firewatch's greatest strength is just how hard it is to stop her from doing something in a stage

she's so consistently solid

and it's all up from there

[tidal sedge]

I'm curious how Firewatch s1 will interact with Paranoid Bubble aspd debuff aura

[full finch]

consistently good is basically the definition of meta

[limpid siren]

[full finch]

*for arknights

[limpid siren]

i might be spoiled by lowered expecations

wrt kroos' performance

[full finch]

I might be spoiled by higher rarity performance

[limpid siren]

but for me, she's a good st burst dps option

one of the best i have

[pale orchid]

i know kermit was happy with kroos's performance too

[scarlet ledge]

u want good sniper starter?

use krooster

[pale orchid]

but uh

i dont have her lmao

pains of being new

[limpid siren]

go get

[full finch]

I mean she kills trash alright
but the stuff that's actually problematic she doesn't do well against

[limpid siren]

well sure

[tidal sedge]

For most channeling targeting it seems to matter if Firewatch is affected or not before going invis

[limpid siren]

i remember your tests yeah

i've got no idea what the bubble is though

[full finch]

most of the elites are too tanky for kroos to do anything
the casters kill her before she kills them

[limpid siren]

so i guess i'll find out

which casters

[full finch]

dancers

[tidal sedge]

Paranoid Bubble is ending 1 boss. It's official name so no spoilers with that name alone

[limpid siren]

oh she always makes them scream yeah

can't be helped

[tidal sedge]

In IS3 I mean

[limpid siren]

ah i see

i expect -aspd will fuck on kroos' day

[full finch]

ig kroos good for flyers

[limpid siren]

if she can't avoid it

[full finch]

balloons die pretty easily

[tidal sedge]

Well, "official", but more like the name Juno said to use

[lethal dragon]

Bruh

I hate splitting squad

[glass monolith]

You will love when you start stage and realize it is not emply

[soft crystal]

Right isnt pressured as much so youll be fine

[lethal dragon]

So młynar left?

Aight

Yeah easy

Easy tower

[scarlet ledge]

@lethal dragon ng s3m3 done

[lethal dragon]

Pog

Nice medal

Can't wait for Raytheon and mama johns

[gleaming lodge]

STOMA

[glass monolith]

Honest defender knight reaction when 6 maps in row is single lane choke points

[gleaming lodge]

Yeah I haven't done it yet but NL even sounds easy enough

Just Mudrock with 5 defender A stack

[glass monolith]

Oh meet our old friend, DEF REDUCING PILLAR HATING CROC FROM CC6

[lethal dragon]

Goddammit

That looks painful and cringe to do

[gleaming lodge]

The DEF shred crocs aren't bad in SSS

Stacking removes debuffs so

Just have enough bodies

[glass monolith]

Stacking removes vision is most dumb thing there could be

[craggy turret]

For MB-EX-6 cm, should I have blemi + stainless or mountain top lane? If blemi + stainless, which skill should blemi be on?

[craggy turret]

This is the point in S³ where I lost my will to live, and I'm one of those freaks who actually enjoys S³

[lethal dragon]

Count me in

Honestly it was a breeze

[gleaming lodge]

After the nerf the mode is just too easy

[craggy turret]

It's just the boss

[lethal dragon]

Ehhh it was so easy
Just pick the more enemy option

Saria tanked with 2 vanguard stacks

She is e2 45

[gleaming lodge]

NL event doesn't have complicated enough mechanics to be an issue in this mode imo

Just get bigger stats and you kill everything/out HPS them

[stable beacon]

This looks toxic

[stable beacon]

Who goes there bottom green

I mean which enemy

[hollow forum]

boss and crabs, mostly

and the boss starts moving about half-way through the stage

[lethal dragon]

Yeah just pick the 3rd option from boss

Even saria was killing crabs

Lmao

Wtf

[hollow forum]

ayo

[scarlet ledge]

oh shir weong server

[hollow forum]

[glass monolith]

Boss every now and then summons 3 options: ATK/DEF buff to boss, toxic fog stack on entire stage, or crabs which are massively increasing in count if you keep picking it

[lethal dragon]

But they are extremely easy to kill

So like just pick them

[scarlet ledge]

boss?

just gg aspd it

and delete it at start

[lethal dragon]

Yeah drones

[scarlet ledge]

[lethal dragon]

Map was really simple just start with someone on left
And then prepare for right

[scarlet ledge]

damn

i odnt ot do my new sss

[hollow stream]

how to kill bird mephisto ||M8-8||?

[hollow forum]

what other healing options do you have

though tbh, borrow ptilopsis s2 and you should be fine

[hollow stream]

E1 50 Shining

[hollow forum]

as I said, borrow ptilopsis s2 and you'll be fine

saria and her should give enough healing for your team to live as long as you don't burst him down too quick

if anything ptilo can solo heal and be fine

[hollow stream]

can i ask for reason why ptilo S2?

[hollow forum]

because she literally outheals the poison with that skill

and it's literally her main skill anyway

[glass monolith]

I love how out of all stuff he spoiler tagged name of stage

[hollow forum]

[glass monolith]

And Ptilo S2 heals FAST AF BOIIIIIi

[scarlet ledge]

lol

[latent anvil]

What did leite send

[glass monolith]

I seen PvZ gif

[craggy turret]

Mlynar

[craggy turret]

Thorns bottom lane and have Dorothy, fiametta and Mlynar ready to procc skill when he goes midstage. Borrow a strong healer of some kind and keep them at the ready (ie lumen)

saria S2 behind thorns to heal should you really need it

Have Schwartz and mly ready for phase two

[meager merlin]

Does anyone know the "stages" of the gold cert shop HH tickets cost?

[hollow stream]

already killed bird mephisto. thanks tho

[storm current]

10 cert => 1 roll
18 certs => 2 rolls
40 certs => 5 rolls
70 certs => 10 rolls
120 certs => 20 rolls
258 total certs for 38 rolls

[craggy turret]

Ye no prob now good luck with the actual final boss of Ch8...

[meager merlin]

Ty

[hollow stream]

final boss of CH8 is me promoting amiya to E2

[craggy turret]

Ye and I hope you have a support Ng ready

[glass monolith]

Final boss is failing asleep on H8-4 because Civilians won't move for 3 more minutes

[craggy turret]

The civilians in general make me sleep

Texalt stages have civilians...atleast they'll do smth ig

[glass monolith]

Also third car in UT boss stage

[craggy turret]

What event was ut again?

Under tides

[glass monolith]

One with eggs

[craggy turret]

What about the cars? They just help and don't take any hp

[glass monolith]

On boss stage cars one by one activate middle tower, and last car take so long than you can literally finish entire stage before it start moving

[craggy turret]

Oh yea, just kill it

I took a frd for the tentacles and just plopped them on the car

[meager merlin]

Will the gold cert shop reset during il sirccano?

[craggy turret]

Not at the start, during it I think

[meager merlin]

If so, I can spark

LETS GO

[craggy turret]

Double check that tho, I'm not too sure

[meager merlin]

I can currently buy 17 from the shop, and I'll use certs from pulling on another 17-38 pulls

And if I had extreme bad luck I have a excess of ~11 pulls

Rip my op tho

[lethal dragon]

It resets monthly
And Texas banner is starting on 23 so yeah

[glass monolith]

resets on 1st, banner ends on 6th/7th i think

[storm current]

which spec should i plan on raising

since i think i want to convert the spec chip

currently its at 2:20 guard/specialist chip ratio now

[glass monolith]

Build Kazemaru's doll

[storm current]

shes built ye

[glass monolith]

But did you build the doll

[storm current]

i wonder about cliffheart and uh

feater

[glass monolith]

I need to build FEater myself for haha funny push

[lethal dragon]

Manticore

[turbid badge]

wtfart

is3 with texas

[latent anvil]

Yea how am I gonna do is3 without texas

All the clears always have texas yato

[cosmic dagger]

I cleared all three endings on d15 before Texas release

You can too

[gleaming lodge]

pro !

[cosmic dagger]

Mayer to the rescue

[gleaming lodge]

I'll defknights d15

:clueless:

[cosmic dagger]

Gigachad energy

Blitz hypercarry

You know penance did solo d15 after the funny blue bladedance

[gleaming lodge]

Can you even clear this one (d0) with defknights

[gleaming lodge]

Bruh what ?

[cosmic dagger]

The scaling bladedance that increases your atk/def

So penance is unkillable and does infinite damage

Le funny

[turbid badge]

hEs

[gleaming lodge]

[latent anvil]

No I can't, en schedule is so terrible that Texas is released with is3

[gleaming lodge]

That certainly sounds funny

Is that where you got the 32k ATK Penance ?

Do you have clips of it?

[cosmic dagger]

Make it challenging for yourself and don't take texas

I'll find the bili vid, one sec

My autocorrect keeps correcting sec to sex weirdge

[storm current]

lul

[cosmic dagger]

https://b23.tv/jleyjna

They only recorded highmorb but it gives you the idea anyway

[storm current]

i think penance can solo ending 3 as well ye

[latent anvil]

im not pulling for her anyways so i probably wont get her

thats why i said is3 without texas

[cosmic dagger]

energy

[lethal dragon]

I'll make it challenging by turning off my brain

[turbid badge]

oh

[craggy turret]

My autocorrect makes noobie into boobie

[halcyon adder]

Who are the other best starters for is3 outside gavial and pozy?

[cosmic dagger]

I gave a quick rundown here #is-station message

[halcyon adder]

Ya thanks,I asked it there too

[analog kayak]

I got a lot of random new stuff since I tried to build a team a few days ago, how should I assemble a PvE team now?
The fourth image is my current team

[latent anvil]

Use steward over haze and orchid over earthspirit I think, they're cheaper to raise and arguably better (earthspirit sucks) also use kroos she's really really good

You probably want to swap someone out for another vanguard tho

[tepid bramble]

haze is better later cause semi res sherd but for now just use steward

also build fang and spot both are really good

[analog kayak]

So this is what I have gathered so far

I just worry a bit that 5 of my operators are all melee

[tepid bramble]

its fine as long as you have something to deal with drones

[analog kayak]

Greythroat seems to be good at that

[tepid bramble]

try to get potentials for the 3*s and gravel too since their pots you pretty much get for free

[analog kayak]

Is Hoshiguma bad? They deal almost no damage compared to my Liskarm

[turbid badge]

There just like super tanky

[livid delta]

If damage is the only metric that determines an operator's worth
then there's a lot of really useless operators lmao

[analog kayak]

I'm not saaying they are useless, I am just saying ever since I started using them I have had problems getting steamrolled in stages with the recomended level being 30

They don't die, but things walk past them very easily

[livid delta]

the overall damage output of your squad is pretty low

[analog kayak]

yeah, that's why I asked for help

[livid delta]

Did you unlock Kroos yet

[latent anvil]

Ye I told them to get kroos

[analog kayak]

yeah but who am I replacing for Kroos

Amiya?

[livid delta]

Sure

If you still have your 5* selector you can grab Lappland too
I'd also get Kroos to e1 55 cause she'll carry you all the way through chapter 4 and early chapter 5

there's a lot of stages that'll ask you to have 12F and Lava built as well

Steward should also be promoted to e1 asap

[analog kayak]

he is

[little ravine]

does vanguard stack work on eunectes in SSS ?

[latent anvil]

If you have module yes

[sharp swallow]

Would Kafka’s sleep be a good counter for Sea Reapers?

The whole strategy is to stop them before they reach your units, so would sleeping aggro them and stop them?

[livid delta]

sure

[tawny solar]

What ops are good for sss

[livid delta]

A lot

[cosmic dagger]

Good sss carries tend to be operators that benefit from a significantly better cycle like irene or penance or operators that interact well with increased aspd or atk like gg or mlynar

It's important to not just stick 14 carries into your initial deck though

A cantrip like skalter can be just as strong as an actual carry

I should actually make a note that the "or" is an inclusive or, a bunch of good carries benefit from both better cycle and higher atk/aspd

Like chongyue or mlynar

[turbid badge]

Yes if u have module

[turbid badge]

yes but i dont think she hits them so hit them with something like gravel and than sleep

[primal ore]

[livid delta]

Just let him cook lol

[cursive mango]

eyy I recruited a rope

rope better to put resources in as a puller early?

[sharp swallow]

The only times I use rope, is the situational pull into a pit, or fishing out certain enemies

[cursive mango]

its rope vs cliffhart

[sharp swallow]

If you’re going for extra damage do Cliff, but rope is the cheaper option

[cursive mango]

rightio

I think ill invest in cliffheart in that case

lower cooldown on the pull too

[quartz pendant]

Is Chaoter 11 easier in that 3rd mode, the ptrs 3 or whatever

[opal kiln]

adverse is literally challenge mode

so no

[latent anvil]

No but its time save

[quartz pendant]

ah okay

[latent anvil]

If you clear adverse first you also get the normal mode clear rewards

[meager merlin]

Is the Texas spark shop open for the entire event? Or just two weeks?

[latent anvil]

Entire event, past banner

[flat sapphire]

not that you could get any more points after the banner tho

[ancient hearth]

imagine being that guy trying to get the perfect 300 pulls for spark, then miscalculates the last free pull and ends up with 299

[meager merlin]

That's me rn

Although I don't think I'm that tight on mats

With everything being dumped, I've got about 274 pulls, just two pulls shy of spark with the free pulls and orundum gimmick

If everything works out, I should have about 285 pulls + free pulls

[turbid badge]

waow

lmao the aspd drones make this anni so easy

[flat sapphire]

that's not an anni

[gritty dirge]

I just had an epic SSS moment that proved just how OP Murdock is

[open geyser]

ye mud can easily solo the boss on that stage

[flat sapphire]

wait it's 7 now

[gritty dirge]

Lol

I only posted 4!

[flat sapphire]

u posted separately and made it super long tho

[gleaming lodge]

also all 4 images display the same thing

[gentle finch]

Shaking my head right now...

[gleaming lodge]

smh my head

[flat sapphire]

no they're all like 3 frames apart

[gentle finch]

Do you guys prefer Mizuki S1 or S2

[flat sapphire]

S1m3 is a good afk skill

no sry idk, i don't use mizuki

[gentle finch]

I'm doing different stages with each skill to see which one I prefer

Ok

11-7 goes in favour of S2 due to binding the casters and therefore having them do less damage

Honestly just inferring a few things I can see S2 being better overall but for most stuff either would work with S1 being more comfy generally

Still need to test more though

[flat sapphire]

isn't it just mud s2 vs s3 pretty much?

[gentle finch]

not really

S1 does a lot of fucking damage

11-15 goes in favour of S1

[surreal star]

omg

is that al

i’m a fan

[flat sapphire]

omg

weeboo

[gentle finch]

Hm

CB-EX-6 S1 is better

The elites take no damage from his S2

(of course they do but compared to S1 it's pathetic)

The bulldozers in particular I should say

I think I prefer S1

Might just M6

[surreal star]

s1m3 is a good afk skill

[gentle finch]

agreed

[gentle finch]

not mine

Just posting here so I can help the guy easer

easier

[limpid siren]

@tidal sedge

what do you think of qanipalaat

[tidal sedge]

I had an interest in him as a levitate source for a bit until Chong Yue and Ho'ol came around

In a gameplay sense, his s2 reminds me of Iris s2 bombs but on a core caster and hating weight instead of sleep immunity

[limpid siren]

relating him to iris is interesting

[tidal sedge]

He lacks mystic mechanics of course

[limpid siren]

a 4 charge + a sleep pop from iris ends up being about the same total damage as his s2

on paper at least

iris will get another 3 charges ideally

but she pays for that by being more annoying to pilot

my first thought was about glaucus

qanipalaat is stronger, but weaker on the cc side

i think he's about that power level though

[tidal sedge]

I see.

Actually, I'm not fully sure where Glaucus is on the 5* power scale

[cursive mango]

Apart from heart of surging flame, what’s the easiest side story to get OP?

[full finch]

grani and the knights' treasure is very easy

it was the first event after all

[cursive mango]

Poggies thanks

[sly drift]

The easiest way to beat the doll in IS2?

[full finch]

pallas with spaghetti

[gentle finch]

Did someone say Pallas

[raw quail]

Pozy

[gentle finch]

Anyways Pozy is also good for him but need medic

A good one

[raw quail]

Aspd up item

[full finch]

pallas is better for sad lock

pozy meh

[livid delta]

What's wrong with pozy

[storm current]

Which dolls

Big sad lock

Or ending 3

[latent halo]

Shamare NG

Bsl is pain in the s

[latent halo]

Pallas took years to kill it

If ur using Pallas core , u need laneholder draft

Unless ur relic is broken

[livid delta]

You guys excited for is3

[storm current]

ye cuz i want highmore

also i already finish IS2

As long as your relics and good

[sly drift]

Duuude.. I have decent squad and relic but the doll encounter just won't appear lmao

[lethal dragon]

I always retry of I don't get encounter in first floor

[sly drift]

So it's only appear on first floor? I go all the way to 5th floor and realized it just don't appear at all in all encounter I've opened

[elder flume]

That means u skipped the doll invitation

[sly drift]

I know what I'm doing dude
The doll invitation just doesn't appear

[elder flume]

Sadge

[lethal dragon]

Nah it can appear later but no point in going ahead

[soft crystal]

Bsl in my experience has been the easiest encounter to uhhh encounter?

The chances are really high

[storm current]

nah

chance are equal

it seem easy cuz you dont need to get the 3rd encounter

and you can get BSL encounter at floor 3+

[glass monolith]

Note encounters on other hand

I swear they scripted Scissors to appear only if you have 3 or less hp

[soft crystal]

Ive encountered the painting like

90% of the time

When trying to get the 4th ending encounter

[scarlet ledge]

real is2 experiences

getting fucked by event rng

[scarlet ledge]

so pro

[scarlet ledge]

i love when abrupt realization doesnt came everytime i have a good run

truly amazing

i love event ending encounter

😳

atleast is3 is not worse

[glass monolith]

is3 is just get fucked by seaborn

[latent halo]

No

The seaborn is easy

The non seaborn enemy are worse than it

[cinder vector]

no?

[latent halo]

Maybe 1 , the ball tosser

Else is easy

[cinder vector]

egg and flower exist

[scarlet ledge]

n0 is3 is baby mode

same for n7+

except n10+

[cinder vector]

n15 izumik be like:

[eager gate]

Anyone knows if W s3 is rng or consistent in auto?

[limpid siren]

in theory, consistent
she should pick the highest hp enemies in range, which should always follow the pattern of how it happened during the manual run

in practice, there could potentially be room for variance owing to how arknights handles its auto-deploys
although w is unlikely to be the source of the variance by herself

[native crescent]

Hello, i im really having trouble with this stage, only having 3 ranged tiles really limits my option, especially when dealing with those pesky fireballs and the floating dublins

Everytime i run into these, i will surely fail, or lose 25 hp in the process

[vernal lion]

it still depends on your squad. or do you want to know how to counter this stage?

[eager gate]

Spots right next to blueboxes are safe until dublin casters move farther than middle of the map, and the right upper ranged tile is a great place to have someone to kill them, just make sure it's someone who's not like 500atk or they won't hit through their def.
I typically have my medic on lower tile to heal the melees who are next to blue, unless they can self sustain
This is very generalistic and should work with most stuff

[fluid sail]

I generally put my two best ranged units facing left on the top 2 and a medic healing them on the 3rd
then a melee unit either in the medic range if I can spawnkill the fireball guys with my ranged unit or at the very end of the row if not (for middle row)
bottom row just put someone down and they’ll be ok

[turbid badge]

just kill the fire guy with ranged unit or have guardian tank it near red box

The jetpack guys that come later on are pretty annoying

[hollow stream]

how to kill Mandragora?

[vernal lion]

use pillar to make her fall down

[latent halo]

Gladiia s1 hole face up

She kills everything that comes from top

[native crescent]

Wow thats a lot of answers, thanks guys

[eager gate]

Everyone wonders how to kill mandrake but not how is Mandrake pepehands

[native crescent]

Her s1 can pull them and drop them?

[latent halo]

Yes

[fluid sail]

first phase you can do whatever with a guard + medic or smth
second phase drop pillars on her head, get the pillars to low hp beforehand

[latent halo]

S1 power strike cna leave the floating guy a tiny bit of health

[vernal lion]

can pull dog, not the shield guy, they are heavy even s1m3

[hollow stream]

Mandragora harder than Bird Mephisto

[latent halo]

We pull the fire ball guy and kill the floating guy

[vernal lion]

the disturbing will happen later

[latent halo]

Nope

Me spec cast starter main

[eager gate]

Nah she's easy. Gimmick makes her trivial once you actually utilize it

[latent halo]

Give me a mizuki and gladiia I can sleep on floor 4

[hollow stream]

Can Lappland trait cheese Mandragora skills?

[vernal lion]

yea, not like everyone got both of them

[glass monolith]

Mandragora don't shut up

[hollow stream]

im just going to Surtr + Mlynar her till she goes unalive

[meager merlin]

You calculate a "+ %dmg"

By simple adding on the attack increase to there base attack right?

Ex, 110 attack base, skill is "+ %200" attack so the new attack stat is 330?

[vernal lion]

you can kill her faster, it's just dps issue, unlike Mandrake dodge

[eager gate]

Can Gladia even pull fireball casters without mastery? I think that one time I triedit wasn't enough

[latent halo]

Yes

[latent halo]

No

U need m3

[vernal lion]

like if he got s1m3 gladiia

[turbid badge]

yea there weight 3

[soft crystal]

lappland players find out that most enemies don't get their abilities sileced

[latent halo]

S2m3

[soft crystal]

[latent halo]

Works too

Unless u say I have 0 mastery on gladiia

[eager gate]

It's not about what you have tho, the one who asked probably doesn't

[vernal lion]

the easy solution is just caster facing up, stun for the flying dude, and guard with healer for the other 2 ground lanes

[native crescent]

Wait the fireball guy too?

[latent halo]

Yes

She pulls the fire ball guy into the hole

[native crescent]

Huh, s17 or s1m3?

[eager gate]

m3 needed

or relic

[latent halo]

M3

[native crescent]

Ahh

[vernal lion]

s1m3 ofc

[native crescent]

[latent halo]

S2m3 s3m3 s1m3 works

Or the force +2 book

Or Angelina's staff

[vernal lion]

you will never think specialist is a cheap class

when you want to invest them fully

[eager gate]

weird gimmicks make them fun

[hollow stream]

specialists are fun

except dollkeepers

[eager gate]

except Jaye*

[latent halo]

I think s2sl7 with aspd relic works

For f1 pull w3

[hollow stream]

like what are dollkeepers for? just make them into a guard or smth

[soft crystal]

yeah basically

dollkeepers act like guards that can revive themselves

[lethal dragon]

🗿

[soft crystal]

also kazemaru fun dollkeeper

fun af

[eager gate]

Spec is a class for ops with a gimmick. Dollkeepers have a gimmick, thus they are spec

[hollow stream]

my Spalter literally untouched from Stultifera Navis

[limpid siren]

[glass monolith]

throws Kazemaru at issue

[turbid badge]

Aak is3

[vernal lion]

haha, specialist ☕

[tidal sedge]

Dollkeepers are specialists because they are too cool to be classified as guards

[storm current]

technically dollkeeper is the coolest specialist out there

next to trapmaster

and ambusher

[soft crystal]

all specialists are cool

[latent halo]

Executors

[storm current]

specialist is literally the most special class in the game

[vernal lion]

specialist is nearly to "troll" class

[glass monolith]

Duelists are Defenders because it is hard to explain why your dreadnought guard has 30 DP cost

[limpid siren]

he cracked the code

[eager gate]

specialists have a whole subclass for bums
based

[turbid badge]

what a amazing trait

[vernal lion]

still think about that why does specialist get a triangle symbol for their class

[soft crystal]

triangles are special?

[lethal dragon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/863488335942385674.png

[latent halo]

Warning signs

[vernal lion]

fun fact, Deepcolor attack pattern is also got the "specialist" symbol

[eager gate]

iirc it was Kazemaru? Who has a trinket specialist symbol on her
If it's not then I just remember that someone does
Ye that's her, one on her bag and one on her shoulder

[elder flume]

its hands that will consume all enemies

[storm current]

i thought it goes

[native crescent]

[latent anvil]

[opal kiln]

2

[tidal sedge]

My suspicion on it being a triangle was something along the lines of specialists having pointed uses.

[hollow stream]

im having skill issues on 9-19 can someone watch me live on discord to see what to do

[scarlet fulcrum]

My perception of class from first is smt like equipment, specialist is drill point, while supporter is tool box

Its just me

[foggy grove]

its not just you

[surreal star]

maybe hg just decided on random polygons for spec and supp

and spec just happened to draw 3

[scarlet fulcrum]

Vg bit weird tho, cause my perception changed over time with them

[soft crystal]

what does your team look like

[surreal star]

idk why but suzu radiates rectangle energy

[scarlet fulcrum]

My internet shit, cant watch HD video

[surreal star]

that must be why she’s a supporter

[latent anvil]

well first of all, move thorns down next to myrtle face up

[hollow stream]

can i spam pillar on her while shes regenerating hp?

[soft crystal]

you should have pushed the pillar on her

[latent anvil]

in that position? no

[soft crystal]

and activate mlynar

[latent anvil]

and instead of mlynar surtr there can you move them right on the red box? kill phase1 immediately

[hollow stream]

my smoll brain is telling me to spam pillars this way

[latent anvil]

yea you can, just kill phase1 at red box instead

[soft crystal]

oh wait this is phase 1

lol

[latent anvil]

[hollow stream]

that is phase 1

[latent anvil]

also for that bottom right, you can actually bring mountain (but ur mountain is kinda low level idk if he clears all)

[hollow stream]

E1 62 so i kinda doubt

im waiting for Il Siracusa to farm LMD tbf

[latent anvil]

you can use practice plans if you care about sanity

[hollow stream]

i dont care abt sanity

i js want mandragora dead

[latent anvil]

anyways, try to pop phase 1 immediately at red box, then drop pillar and burst right after you drop pillar

thorns move down next to myrtle in ur original screenshot, still face up

[hollow stream]

does the pillar nearest from the red box reach mandragora as she comes out of it?

[latent anvil]

no

[hollow stream]

i js pop surtr and mlynar as soon as mandra comes out the box?

[latent anvil]

you can try that, idk if ur mlynar and surtr are strong enough

[hollow stream]

does mandra have the shield and res thing immediately as she comes out the box?

[frigid kite]

use surtr for the first phase and then mlynar + pillar for the second

[hollow stream]

skill issue?

surtr didnt even crit

[foggy grove]

ahe get lasered

[latent anvil]

i didnt even know surtr could crit

[glass monolith]

Surtr crit is activating S3 AFTER she died

[hollow stream]

surtr gives big red number to shieldguards but does nothing for mandra

[tidal sedge]

Res/def ignore contributes towards red number conditions

[latent anvil]

ah red numbers, they mean nothing tbh

you can have 0 pop up as red number

[frigid kite]

use plan b, kill her with surtr + pillar and then all below mlynar + pillar

[scarlet ledge]

holy shit

surtr awesoemmeenness

[frigid kite]

thought maybe mlynar can kill her w/o it who knows

[tidal sedge]

If damage dealt is 1.5x or higher than "expected" damage (that being displayed attack after res/def mitigation) red numbers are made

[hollow stream]

nope tried that too

[frigid kite]

hmm

get ready at least 1 pillar, you can use both if you feel like it, put surtr where mlynar is

after the pillar falls down just use surtr s3

[glass monolith]

you miss the part than this 1.5 range potato will lazor his mlynar and he won't have healer ready for 4000 damage

[soft crystal]

pillars kinda cancel the lazor right

[hollow stream]

my dumbass missed this 1.5 range and popped the pillar out of mandra's range and left her tanking 2 broken skills in the game

didnt even reach 50% hp

massive skill issue on my end

[glass monolith]

Shall we tell him there is phase 2?

[hollow stream]

ik theres a phase 2

[glass monolith]

Shall we tell him phase 2 is flying?

[storm current]

With pillar surtr can 1 cycle mandra btw

[soft crystal]

with pillar mlynar can 1 cycle p2 mandra

[sharp scroll]

How should I beat the lt-8 of the new SSS? First time doing it and have no defeats yet, dunno how the map works and I want to get the medal

[soft crystal]

with pillar surtr can 1 cycle p1 mandra

[latent anvil]

oh yeah and for super emergency prep the pillar on the far left, you can squish mandra when she walks into the blue box

(that is kinda scuffed tho)

[frigid kite]

you can do 5 vanguard mlynar, 2 guard 3 vg to kill the boss (with a fast cycle and probably a bit of luck), either mudrock or irene will be able to clear the right side

oh and try to get mlynar asap

[hollow stream]

waut

instead of Surtr, can i use NTR knight

[frigid kite]

sure

share with us the results

[sharp scroll]

Aight, thanks

[soft crystal]

oh nrk honestly could do better i think

goes through the damage reduction

[hollow stream]

• true dmg

and def ignore

[latent anvil]

did you try using both mlynar and surtr at red box

[sharp scroll]

Ah btw, just to confirm, no enemies would go on the very right side right? Only the boss?

[hollow stream]

ok NTRK did better progress than Surtr

[frigid kite]

boss + the things it summons if you choose summon

[sharp scroll]

Oh okok, thanks again

[full finch]

60% DR moment

[latent anvil]

does mlynar do more than surtr/ntrk? my ntrk+surtr combo kill boss pretty comfortably

[full finch]

yeah, he'll do more

lemme do some quick math

[latent anvil]

but then again my ntrk and surtr damn high lvl

[full finch]

mandra has 520 def

[latent anvil]

my viktorlab has never worked, must be region diff

[full finch]

max mlynar would hit for like what
3900 phys

so ~3400 *0.4

[storm current]

9-19 mandra has like 60k hp

[full finch]

1360 HP

50k HP

also 200 true damage

[storm current]

mlynar only does like 90k total dmg even without dred lol

[full finch]

so ~1600 or so damage per hit

that's like
28k total damage or something?

idk how many attacks mlynar has on skill

maybe 17?

oh

23

~37,000

not bad

all that's left is a rocc and a poke

[hollow stream]

E2 90 Surtr

[storm current]

i bet

pozy can 1 cycle without pillar or something

lol

[latent monolith]

If you want to burst mandra down you probably want to pillar

[full finch]

I can test it, but my mlynar is p4

[soft crystal]

problem with pozy theres not a lot of good tiles for her in this stage

can make it work

[latent anvil]

I just sit my ntrk and surtr on red box and boss die 💀

[hollow stream]

[sonic willow]

Non l2d skin

[hollow stream]

i heard skadi s3 can solo phase 1

[storm current]

only with pillar

otherwise skadi has less dps than any of the units you used there

lol

[latent anvil]

Nvm I lied, I added a bit more dps in bagpipe

[hollow stream]

fuck this mandragora rat thing

whats more difficult? a literal primordial dragon (free from who is real) or a fucking flying rat with lasers

[storm current]

she is a cat

[eager gate]

can't you just stall her if you're looking for an easy way?
Also free isn't even real btw

[full finch]

didn't use suzu

[hollow stream]

HOW

[latent anvil]

Wait what are the masteries on mlynar drorothy

[hollow stream]

assuming mine has any

[latent anvil]

...

.....

[soft crystal]

i mean

mlynar is just missing 20% damage

nbd

[storm current]

are you like

intentionally not using pillar

[latent monolith]

You can probably use 1 pillar + surtr phase 1, mlynar + pillar the start of phase 2, let her walk a bit and then surtr rest of phase 2 again with a pillar

[storm current]

for challenge

or

[soft crystal]

my mlynar 1 cycles p2 mandra

[full finch]

honestly just aak mlynar or use suzu

[hollow stream]

IM USING THE PILLAR

[storm current]

surtr + gravel + pillar can 1 cycle p1

how

[latent anvil]

Oh yeah, use suzu

You have suzu e2

Just pop s3 and win lol

Also what mastery is ur mlynar

[full finch]

[hollow stream]

im going to try this

if it doesnt work im uninstalling

[latent anvil]

Pls say what mastery ur mlynar is

or don't

[hollow stream]

M0

im going to borrow an E90 S3M3 Mlynar istg if it doesnt work

[full finch]

if it doesn't you can borrow my p4 mlynar

[eager gate]

I still don't get why not go the absolute braindead way if the goal is to clear+forget

[hollow stream]

i tried braindead-ing my way on killing mandra

thats what im doing rn tbh

[eager gate]

you'd clear it like 2nd try if you cared to stall kill her and 4pillar p2

[latent anvil]

Well I'm pretty sure it's not gonna work what mastery is ur suzu

[latent monolith]

Braindead way is to stall and kill P1 slowly with like mountain+medic tanking

[hollow stream]

WHFDUADSHFJADSPFJSPDFJPOSCJSLF'

[storm current]

you can perma tank with saria + NG iirc

[latent anvil]

what mastery is ur suzu

[latent anvil]

Nah real braindead is extreme overleveled rarity abuse, I just cleared the stage 5 time using 5 different deployments

[scarlet ledge]

just add extra dps

[latent anvil]

True, it's not like ur trying to low op it either

[latent halo]

Exu mod 3 will vaporize her

[scarlet ledge]

wtf exu exist?

[latent anvil]

My exu doesnt

[scarlet ledge]

ngl i rarelt use her

its just for gen content

[storm current]

apparantly

[scarlet ledge]

cheeto is enough

[latent anvil]

She's the one e2 operator I leveled past e2 lvl 1 and didn't fully build

[storm current]

flying mandragora trigger 110% atk scale on markman
