strategy

[tawny solar]

Texas s2 or s3

[civic nest]

s3

[cosmic dagger]

s3 always

stuns boss

[tawny solar]

Ok

[scenic mauve]

S3 100%

[cosmic dagger]

stuns right side drifters

its free real estate

[scenic mauve]

I hate those things

[tawny solar]

Omg i got another team slot

[civic nest]

the right drifters is surprisingly tanky on higher dif

[tawny solar]

Should i put liskarm in

My squad

[storm current]

no no no no

they have fucking

20k base hp

lul

[tawny solar]

Who

What

[civic nest]

ah

[tawny solar]

Huh

Wait so uh

Liskarm yes or no

[civic nest]

he was talking abt the drifters

[tawny solar]

These little shits need mlynar to schwing schwing to die 😭

back to my question

[cosmic dagger]

they have 96k on floor 6 emergency

[storm current]

yep

boss level hp

[cosmic dagger]

funnily enough, that floor 6 stage is considered the much easier one

[scenic mauve]

Mlynar can target air units too?

[tawny solar]

This is fine for the boss right

[tawny solar]

Yes

[cosmic dagger]

since the other floor 6 stage is double pompeii

might be a bit sketchy

[civic nest]

already sounds like hell

[cosmic dagger]

how do you plan to clear left side

[scenic mauve]

oh shit, ok then, that's 2 shwings shwings available

[tawny solar]

Uhh

Schwing

Schwing

[cosmic dagger]

ok

then what about boss

[scenic mauve]

lol

[tawny solar]

Does the boss have high def

[cosmic dagger]

not that high

i think like 800 or something

[tawny solar]

Would i be able to have kroos’s crit

Do some work

On him

[storm current]

eh no

[tawny solar]

Or is that not possible

Ok

[storm current]

kroos wont work against boss

[tawny solar]

Well idk then lmao

[storm current]

since boss will give everything cancer

[cosmic dagger]

thats why i thought it was kinda sketchy

[storm current]

including kroos

[tawny solar]

Oh

[storm current]

basically

[cosmic dagger]

drafting horn against boss is best since she can farm damage from range

if no horn, fiametta works too

[tawny solar]

I don’t have horn

Or fia

[storm current]

a huge AOE
anything inside the range get -70 aspd

[tawny solar]

New player problems

[cosmic dagger]

horn opener is good

[tawny solar]

[storm current]

real cringe

[scenic mauve]

lol

[cosmic dagger]

but anyway

[storm current]

even ashlock work too

[cosmic dagger]

for the current problem at hand

[tawny solar]

I don’t have any fortresses

[cosmic dagger]

im not sure how to win

[tawny solar]

Oh

[storm current]

ye no

[cosmic dagger]

maybe lunacub saria left side

[tawny solar]

Yeah me neither

[storm current]

no aoe medic

[cosmic dagger]

which difficulty is this?

[tawny solar]

Normal

[storm current]

lunacub is affected by the aspd down btw

[cosmic dagger]

oh

ok

its winnable

mlynar can spawn camp boss

[tawny solar]

Pain

[cosmic dagger]

with texas

[tawny solar]

Ok

Ok

[cosmic dagger]

saria lunacub left side

[tawny solar]

Ok

[storm current]

hmm

[cosmic dagger]

right side is just occasional snails and drifters

[storm current]

you prob can tank boss with liskarm somehow

[cosmic dagger]

drifters are tex

[storm current]

since boss is physical

[cosmic dagger]

snails you have the other operators to deal with

[storm current]

and gavialt heal back

[tawny solar]

Oh boss is physical that makes it easy

[cosmic dagger]

yeah

[storm current]

you will want to keep boss away from your team

since she attack multiple

[tawny solar]

Should i replace cliffheart with something else

[cosmic dagger]

cliff is fine

[storm current]

actually

[tawny solar]

Cliff can attack aerial targets

[civic nest]

cliff for right side

[storm current]

you can technically use cliffheart for drifter

[tawny solar]

Oh

[cosmic dagger]

yes

[storm current]

since she stun

[tawny solar]

True damage stun

[cosmic dagger]

their interval is 30 seconds

[civic nest]

actually genius

[scarlet ledge]

cliff manta

[cosmic dagger]

her cycle is much better than 30s

i dont think she lives the snails solo

[storm current]

eh

snail has like

300 atk?

[cosmic dagger]

so you need someone else too probably

either way

looks like a win to me

since texas can help right side

[tawny solar]

Hm

Ok

[storm current]

1 medic is really sketchy

[cosmic dagger]

medic is probably on mlynar healing duty

so left side is saria only

put her on s1

[storm current]

for your information

[tawny solar]

I think i got a decent chance

[storm current]

boss is hovering

[tawny solar]

I have her on s1

[cosmic dagger]

lovely

[storm current]

is unblockable if she isn knocked down

so you will want to stun her

[scarlet ledge]

what thats diff btw?

[cosmic dagger]

wait

[scarlet ledge]

[cosmic dagger]

claim your quest reward right now

bruh lol

[tawny solar]

Oh

[storm current]

this btw

[civic nest]

dif 0 lol

[scarlet ledge]

oh

[scarlet ledge]

he good then

unless he fucke dit up

💀

[civic nest]

shield

[tawny solar]

Ok

[storm current]

ye shield in case leak

[gentle finch]

i love rng

[storm current]

for your case

you may want to intentionally leak

[tawny solar]

Where do i put saria exactly

[storm current]

so that you can focus manpower on boss

[tawny solar]

Don’t think i have the brains for that

[storm current]

leaking mob is fine

but boss leak is dead

well you want to throw body on boss

[tawny solar]

Yeah ik

[storm current]

hopefully texas is enough to kill boss

[tawny solar]

Does this work

[storm current]

whats G

[tawny solar]

Gavial

Healer

Oh saria should be one tile to the right shouldn’t it

[cosmic dagger]

I was thinking a bit different

[tawny solar]

Explain please

[cosmic dagger]

One sec

[tawny solar]

Ok

[storm current]

hmm you prob want to put lucacub here for help out with mobs

[cursive wedge]

why texalt s2 so strong

[tawny solar]

Ok

[cosmic dagger]

can you send a empty screenshot for me to ms paint

[tawny solar]

Ok

[storm current]

send map ye

[scenic mauve]

Why not? super useful in tight situations in IS3 so far

[tawny solar]

Go s3

[storm current]

interesting

i still see s2 is worse

she die too fast with s2

unreliable

[cursive wedge]

masteries provide big stats

[tawny solar]

S2 worse for is3

[storm current]

?

why is mastery a reason

i have her m6

and pretty much only use s3

unless e1

[cosmic dagger]

i think this might work

dorothy liskarm are up to you

[tawny solar]

Ok

Imma have lisk help out cliff and dorothy help saria

[cosmic dagger]

good plan

be sure texas is on s3

it is key to this map

[eager gate]

Won't that Mlynar get blasted in just a few attacks? The boss has 5 hits and he pulls all of them

[cosmic dagger]

Diff 0 should be spawncamp-able

[eager gate]

Oh it's 0

[cosmic dagger]

They also have texas

So it should be alright

[tawny solar]

I GOT IT

WOOOOO

YEAAAH

ONLY ONE LEAK

[scenic mauve]

Ayyyee

[cosmic dagger]

Gz

[turbid badge]

i r

[cosmic dagger]

[tawny solar]

I love cliffheart

[scenic mauve]

you beat the boss, nice!

[tawny solar]

She is a lifesaver

WOOOO

YEAAAH

BABY

[turbid badge]

oh against highmore

Woo

[tawny solar]

YEAAAH

The scariest stage was honestly the one with the rat king

I was going to die

Almost

But then mlynar went schwing schwing

[scenic mauve]

uugghhh

[tawny solar]

I was leaking a bunch

:(

Texas couldn’t save my ass no matter how hard she tried

[next cradle]

Ahhg! 398/400 on Annihilation 3… 😭

[tawny solar]

Oof

Relatable

[next cradle]

Been trying it all day, I just want to max my weekly ord cap…

[gentle finch]

can frostnova boss from IS1 be targeted by ground ops in phase 2
or any phase for that matter

[storm current]

she is not flight ye

[gentle finch]

bruh

ok

[storm current]

since low attitude hovering exist back then

[gentle finch]

I threw run

[turbid badge]

No texas?

lol

[tawny solar]

Yes texas

Just didn’t have enough blocker to defend blue box

[frigid kite]

Mlynar also kills him

And ebenholz

[tawny solar]

Dude

[frigid kite]

I guess Schwarz

[tawny solar]

My mlynar got inflicted with adhd

[turbid badge]

lol

[tawny solar]

So i couldn’t do shit about his skill

;-;

[frigid kite]

💀

[tawny solar]

I was like

Preparing for death

Lol

[frigid kite]

Give same treatment as Exu S3

[turbid badge]

loll

[gentle finch]

I thought this stage sucked too

But I just ranged abused it

[tawny solar]

This stage isn’t that bad

Frickin

Cliffheart

Saved my ass

[turbid badge]

Lol

shaw carried

[tawny solar]

I only leaked one

[scarlet fulcrum]

My mayer has the wrong skill lmao, luckily i can manage it 💀

[tawny solar]

It was shield too

[turbid badge]

noice

[tawny solar]

Yes

[turbid badge]

Mayer?

[tawny solar]

I am happy about that

[turbid badge]

😮‍💨

[scarlet fulcrum]

[hollow forum]

Is my run dead here or it's possible

Boss is Last Knight without def down relic

[vernal lion]

bruh

[hollow forum]

it's only like, the 5th or 6th time I've gotten here without it

[storm current]

Oh wait

Pasta + spinach

You can win with texas

But for the most part you will want to stall the boss p1

[hollow forum]

yeah Idk how I am gonna do that exactly

[storm current]

You want texas for phase 2

Boss has 70 res

She should be able to with multiple deployment

+40% art dmg too

[hollow forum]

right

the problem is stalling his 1st phase

the last few times I've done that it didn't go too well

[turbid badge]

iaghh

i want to raise wild mane so bad

[storm current]

Your best bet is using texalt as much as you can

[turbid badge]

but brole

brok

[frigid kite]

Stall with monster

[storm current]

On top of another enemies

So that texalt can kill reset

[turbid badge]

Nah ur fune

Finw

[storm current]

Retreating rapidly should be more dps

[frigid kite]

Monster skalter

[turbid badge]

Mlynar and texas

[storm current]

Because of pasta spinach

Ondeployment dmg is far more dps than keeping her around for dot

[hollow forum]

hm alright

welp, gonna do and try now then

[hollow forum]

Done, thanks for the help

[outer sail]

Well, after a handful of mess around attempts, I decided to do a more serious clear attempt. And, with zero knowledge or beta, no videos watched, nada, I managed to clear it without ever having seen the last area before at all. I did "cheat" a little, but still. Pretty proud of that 🙂

[thick coral]

Can someone help me with outskirts of lungmen?

[scenic mauve]

Ok, I’m on one of the stages that I hate the MOST

For IS3, not only that, it’s an emergency stage.

Here’s my current set up so far, been somewhat fortunate

[blazing leaf]

btw if i go on bottom, does that mean i cannnot go back to upper lane?

[scenic mauve]

And here are all of my operators I have.

[scenic mauve]

Yep, if you go down with a key to unlock, you can’t go back up

[blazing leaf]

alright thanks

[scenic mauve]

What would be the strategy for this stage?

[frigid kite]

Team?

[frigid kite]

Netherbrand cant go into the center, safe place just defend, Texalter S3 the Evading things

You can also silence the elder with lappland before you kill it or something

[scenic mauve]

Only issue is this is emergency, there’s one of those shaman sea monsters at center as well

Maybe if I kill it quick enough it shouldn’t spread?

[hollow forum]

it will

you can setup your defenses outside

and wait for the shaman to go to the middle and kill him too

[scenic mauve]

Urgh..

[frigid kite]

Outheal

[scenic mauve]

So let it spread the nether brand everywhere then?

[frigid kite]

But yeah you can also just spawnkill and let the elders go to the center

[scenic mauve]

Hmm.

[frigid kite]

If you can outheal, easier would be just let them go into the center

[hollow forum]

at most, you'll leak one of the elders, and that'll be it

[scenic mauve]

Ok, I think I have an idea on what I could do.

I’ll do the spawn camping that you guys mentioned

And use Chalter to kill any of the long range guys that come in

2 defenders to keep nether and from spreading

[frigid kite]

Just checked, those are called brandguider lol

[scenic mauve]

And Mudrock at bottom

[scenic mauve]

Bah! Too many monsters and their silly names

But aside from that, I think I got this?

[frigid kite]

Easily

[scenic mauve]

Got a pretty capable team, I just gotta execute it right

[hollow forum]

you'll be fine

I've done it with less and worse ops

[scenic mauve]

ah sh*t! I forgot that the enemies that come from the bottom can't be blocked!

shoot

[thick coral]

I can get towards the end but I get nuked somehow

[somber falcon]

Dodgy bois only unblockable if they're on nether brands

[hollow forum]

did you let the brand spread on the outside

you can kill them with texas

[scenic mauve]

let it spread too far then, my bad there

only 2 leaked in the end

[scenic kestrel]

how do i beat CB-EX8? the map id literally way too messy and confusing for me

[scenic mauve]

3 hp left, I need to be careful

Can horn target final boss in IS3?

[vernal lion]

which boss?

[scenic mauve]

Final boss specifcally

not sure of it's name

[storm current]

isharmla is not flight yes

[vernal lion]

the giant jellyfish, the armor dude, or the Skalter

[scenic mauve]

giant jellyfish then

have not encountered the other two...

[storm current]

ok

paranoia bubble

[scenic mauve]

and don't think I want to yet

[storm current]

she start as flight

[vernal lion]

it's hovering, so yea, you will need stun/sleep/freeze to make it fall

[storm current]

but you can knock her down using stun/freeze/sleep

[scenic mauve]

noted, I'm between recruiting saria or Horn

[somber falcon]

Team?

[storm current]

texalt mayer cliffheart may are the renowned stune

ye get horn

[scenic mauve]

or upgradiing Mudrock

[storm current]

horn is really good for the map

[hollow forum]

get horn

[scenic mauve]

noted

[forest quiver]

hello does anyone have a paradox sim guide for sl1 ange

[scenic mauve]

S2 i assume would be best right?

[storm current]

well

s1 or s3

[somber falcon]

Step 1: make her sl7

[storm current]

s1 is better for relic

or s3 is better to nuke boss

[forest quiver]

cant

[scenic mauve]

ok, nvm then

Only got S1 or S2 unfortunately

[elder flume]

S3l1 ange enthusiast

[scenic mauve]

s2 might be better here in assisting, but not nuking

[elder flume]

Im still in bed so i cant search the vid but im pretty sure ive seen sl1 guide even tho the tolerance level is low

[scenic mauve]

Good enough?

Here are the remaining ones, don’t think they would be as helpful

Unless I swap Gummy out with Fang for more DP

[storm current]

if difficulty 0

should be quite easy

[scenic mauve]

It’s normal difficulty

[storm current]

do you have any dp relic

[elder flume]

If u wana scroll through 泥萌都是托 for his ange sim go ahead

[scenic mauve]

Never easy

[scenic mauve]

No, was not fortunate

[storm current]

you prob want to do horn first

can you screeshot the map

[scenic mauve]

So deploy horn on bottom tile huh?

[storm current]

bottom tile yes

below blue box

face up

she can attack the mobs up top

[scenic mauve]

That I get

[storm current]

you prob can do this

[scenic mauve]

I usually place thorns on the tile above the blue box (am aware of aspd debuff) but it worked out somewhat well during the thorns monthly run I did earlier today

[storm current]

or thorns holding left lane

[proper lake]

Does anyone know what "contract reward" refer to?

[scenic mauve]

Facing left or facing up?

[storm current]

up

[scenic mauve]

I do

[storm current]

for right lane, just mudrock + texalt for the drifter is enough

[proper lake]

whats that

[scenic mauve]

So contracts appears when only during special encounters in IS3

[storm current]

basically the tulip quest

[scenic mauve]

And then there will be 3 options, an easy, medium, or hard mission that you can choose

[storm current]

you have to do certain objective for reward

[proper lake]

oh its that regional commission?

[scenic mauve]

You have to complete those and get a reward depending on what difficulty

[storm current]

yes

[scenic mauve]

Yeah

Had to search that up earlier today XD

[proper lake]

and different memory mappings i assume is different endings?

[storm current]

i think?

[scenic mauve]

errr dunno? I haven’t gotten that far yet

[proper lake]

mf i cleared all endings alr and this shit comes up lul

[scenic mauve]

[proper lake]

oh wait actually the wiki has info on that

apparently its the monthly squad

or shud i say unit

thanks for help btw

[scenic mauve]

@storm current I think this looks like a decent placement?

[scenic kestrel]

i want to show you my team but for some reason discord isn't allowing me to send images (I'll just have to type their name i guess)

[scenic mauve]

I’m thinking of placing gummy inbetween Thorns, Chalter, and Lumen

That or deploy Stainless somewhere else and have lumen facing Up

And using Stainless Bots to boost skill points to Chalter and Thorns S3

[scenic mauve]

I could send the picture in your place if you want to DM it to me

[scenic kestrel]

no, i globally can't send images anywhere

[scenic mauve]

Yikes, nvm

Hope that gets resolved soon

[storm current]

@scenic mauve yea im late but chen may die to boss there

But for difficulty 0

It should be easy enough

Sjnce you have texalr e2

[scenic mauve]

Yeah, Chen did die when I did Thorns monthly and I did the same thing

[scenic kestrel]

my team: thorns, mountain, surtr, passenger, pozëmka, saria, horn, pitlopsis, bagpipe, shining, myrtle and elysium

[scenic mauve]

If that’s the case I’ll do it like this… brb

Or I may swap Warfarin and Lumen’s position

I think that would be better

Other than that, now my other main issue is

Which side does the sea drifter come out of?

The floating stingray abomination

[hollow forum]

should be on the right

[scenic mauve]

Right?

[somber falcon]

Should be easy then
You can just funnel everyone so that they pass mid and camp the chokepoint

[hollow forum]

right red box, and they go to the 2 little holes

if you want to drop them down there you can

[scenic mauve]

Like into the holes, well

No pull operators

[hollow forum]

texas stun is enough

as long as you can spare a couple of deployments

[scenic mauve]

And they’re hovering too, unless pull operators have the ability to ground them, then I dunno

[scenic mauve]

Aight

Gonna have to use her strategically then

[scenic kestrel]

...uh, i don't get it?

where am i even supposed to place the roadblocks?

[hollow forum]

just place the roadblock so that all of the enemies funnel through one lane to the middle area

spend a couple of your practice tickets and test them out

[scenic mauve]

he’s saying to funnel them into a kill zone

[somber falcon]

Ignore the ops

[dusky wolf]

what this 2 node ?

[storm current]

Top is encounter

[scenic mauve]

Ah lol, this map, I remember to specially bully Skullshatterer with specialist operators

[storm current]

RNG

[scenic kestrel]

but what about the bottom lane?

[storm current]

Bottom trade a relic for a relic

[cosmic dagger]

wander into wonderland takes a key and gets you to a new floor

[hollow forum]

can't recall the top, but the bottom allow you to exchange one relic for a different one

[storm current]

Oh wait

[cosmic dagger]

with floor 5/6 stages and a random is1 boss

[storm current]

I misread

[cosmic dagger]

bottom is trade

[storm current]

Bottom is really good, since you can trade a curse relic for a good relic

[cosmic dagger]

generally worth it if you're on floor 5

[dusky wolf]

k i got a relic that add dp ruin texalt spam

[cosmic dagger]

maybe consider if floor 4

if you make it out of wonderland alive you will likely win the run

[storm current]

It give you 1 boss SR relic ye?

Or anything else

[hollow forum]

is wonderland an entire full floor with multiple stages or is it just a singular stage

[somber falcon]

Nothing goes there from top right

[keen night]

Guys what are challenge mode stages

[dusky wolf]

so with spinach or pasta just drop texalt and retreat immediately no need to wait for the skill bar to deplete ?

[hollow forum]

the same stage as the normal version, usually with a gimmick and enemies gain extra stats

[storm current]

@dusky wolf ye its stronger that way

Only the on drop benefit from spinach pasta

[scenic mauve]

Did it!

[keen night]

How do i access them?

[dusky wolf]

man this stage is full of drone wrong skill of W here

[keen night]

I need it to unlock the phase 6 of tutorial stuffs

And how do I clear it?

[valid kindle]

is-8 sub 3 mins possible?

[hollow forum]

go to a stage you've already done

Check if challenge mode is available next to practice

[valid kindle]

or all the enemies are timegated anyway?

[keen night]

Owh ok

[hollow forum]

once there the condition is available for you to read

[scenic mauve]

in the IS3 Skill tree

what do living cells ratios do?

havent upgraded any of that tree till' now

[hollow forum]

it's the same thing as candles in is2

basically exp for the battle pass thing

[scenic mauve]

ahhh ok

so you get more of it whenever a journey is finished

noted

[keen night]

@hollow forum hihi sorry for ping but whats Penance main purpose?

Or whats her main usage?

Sorry im a new player

Kinda newb

[hollow forum]

she's basically a brick

[keen night]

😭

[hollow forum]

one that gets stronger the more enemies she kills

[keen night]

Owh

I e1 her

Coz my friend said i must

Or i cant use her

Should i pair her with silverash or continye using silverash x Hoshi

[hollow forum]

you need to e2 her, her main skill is locked behind that

for the time being you can use her 1st skill and she'll do fine

you can probably replace hoshi with her

[keen night]

I was told i need minimum 2 defenders tho

Wait lemme send my roster

Here

[hollow forum]

well for the time being your squad looks fine enough

[keen night]

Owkie also whats a dp regener?

My friend said i need one alot

[hollow forum]

vanguards

you have fang and courier right there

[scenic mauve]

dp generation, he likely could be talking about the vangaurd operators that are flag bearers

as they generate a lot of deployment points rapidly

[hollow forum]

^

[keen night]

He said he recommends me to get texas alter and then save for a banner with Myrtle or Cantabile

[scenic mauve]

Myrtle is a 4* one that's super useful, then you have Elysium at 5* and as for 6* there is Saileach

[hollow forum]

see if you have a myrtle anywhere

if not, when you're using recruitment, look for the tag combination of vanguard / DP-generation and healing together

[somber falcon]

you really don't

[dusky wolf]

yosh heheh mylnar only show up last stage just s2 lol but texalt , highmore and W is the carry , man i want to spark W she is strong in this gamemode

[scenic mauve]

this

[keen night]

I dont

T-T

[hollow forum]

you'll be fine with fang and courier

[keen night]

Apparently i must have one if i plan to get texas alter?

[scenic mauve]

yeah just recruit with the tags Davy mentioned

[scenic mauve]

yes and no

[keen night]

So Vanguard and Dp regeneration?

[scenic mauve]

• healing

[hollow forum]

Vanguard or DP generation + healing

[scenic mauve]

Dp Generation + healing works as well

[keen night]

I always get Fang tho

[scenic mauve]

it's just statistics, you'll get her eventually

[keen night]

Oki

[scenic mauve]

but back to rapid redeploys

you are going to need plenty of dp, so your friend isn't wrong

[valid kindle]

is-8 sub 3 mins possible?

[keen night]

Owkie

[scenic mauve]

Indeed, texalter consumes like 20 deployment points max after redepolying her 2 times before

unless you get duplicates and potential her (which I try and plan to)

[turbid badge]

Ash 2nd module showcase real upcoming!

Manticore S1M3 moduled

[vernal lion]

hmm can Chen s3 bypass the frozen effect?

[hollow forum]

for last knight?

I remember seeing tulip doing full damage but gets frozen as soon as the animation is over, so I'd imagine chen is the same

[glass monolith]

E2 Tulip skill triggers eggs bug (At least on d1 no emergency)

[lethal dragon]

Mr Lee

[storm current]

yes chen iframe ignore the freezing effect

[lethal dragon]

But good luck with dp

[normal jackal]

Can someone help me with is8

[storm current]

Uh

Cant you jusr

[ebon oxide]

s1

[storm current]

Nuke mid lane with horn s1

Then texalt s3 to kill any stray target

[ebon oxide]

i say ignore midlane

let cars come and go until they go to blue box

then u kill with texatwo

u have bp too

[normal jackal]

um

[ebon oxide]

just do it

or blockade top midnwith lisk, horn s1 on top right facing mid, then kill zone on therem texatwo to kill assassin that comes out

[normal jackal]

my defences fall short on the second phase

[sly drift]

I've been playing this shit for an hour and half and still can't complete it.

[glass monolith]

It is one where you play hard mode with 2 meme relics and blade?

[sly drift]

Yea.. it's terrible

[glass monolith]

It took me most attempts

20 hope and this one were only ones i needed more than 2-3 attempts to beat

[sly drift]

It's frustrate me how I always get around 15-18 hope and lost before reaching 20

[solid dew]

yea no the some of the IS2 missions made me lose 10x more sanity then main story ones such as h10-3

its a mixed bag, some are easy, others are just annoying

[normal jackal]

HOLY SHIT

@ebon oxide it works somehow

Had to use 3 medics so defenders don't die

doesnt work for auto tho

some car slips into the gap between liksarm and horn

made my horn lvl 40 and auto works again

[frail wren]

help... how much hp does this guy drain if i let him pass...

[sonic willow]

you'll definitely die if he leaks

[frail wren]

time to wait a fucking hour for hoshi to kill him

[heady hedge]

you lose 2 i think

i mean only a hour man

you dont even need to look

thats half the time needed compared to pinch out stall!

[sonic willow]

I think bow/hammer bro takes 3

otherwise, you can just leak one of them in CC5

could be wrong tho

[frail wren]

first time doing the map so i had foolishly placed my GG adjacent to hoshi

she died instantly...

[sonic willow]

[neat skiff]

Which stage is that?

Wait, I'm blind. SSS.

[stoic knot]

Hi can you please help me decide what to take with the 6 star selector ? I'm torn between the legendary Surtr and Horn for the damage output... here is my roster (I got Texas Alter) : https://krooster.com/u/RahXen

[sonic willow]

surtr

[neat skiff]

You don't have to spend the selector right away.

Get more of your operators leveled and given masteries.

Especially since Surtr relies on her S3 while Horn can work wonders with all 3 of her skills.

[stoic knot]

So I should start with upgrading my operators to make more use of them and later decide what I need based on my playstyle ?

[neat skiff]

With your current roster, I would advise it.

[stoic knot]

Roger thanks a lot !

[neat skiff]

You currently have more physical than arts damage. Were it me I would be getting Eyja to E2 since she is one of the best casters in the game.

[stoic knot]

I will do this !

[neat skiff]

After that, hold off on promoting ops for a little bit.
EXP goes towards getting levels for your E2 ops.
Materials go towards masteries.

SilverAsh S3M3, Exusiai S3M3, Bagpipe level 7, Texalter S3M3 and maybe S2M3 if you decide to go Horn.

Bagpipe is one of those ops people either go S2M3 or S3M3 depending on which skill they prefer and how they use her.

[stoic knot]

I will check this and decide

[neat skiff]

Use her in a couple missions.

[glass monolith]

It is hard to have much arts damage in this game, we are being blessed with few arts operators, half year ago it was like "Ifrit, Eyja, Surtr and 🙏 for upcoming Goldenglow"

[neat skiff]

S3M3 is the "correct" choice, but if you're like me you basically never use S3.

[stoic knot]

Roger and another question that I have, the main source of LMD and EXP should be the base ? Is there a need to farm for LMD and EXP for days over materials ?

[frail wren]

took 41 minutes in total from when my GG died from about 60% hp

[neat skiff]

At your point in the game it should only be base. I say should because I have ignored that when I’m super close to a level I want to stay at or promotion.

[glass monolith]

While you cope shitty material RNG - base LMD and EXP will catch up if you don't forget to use base

[frail wren]

both city neons and blaze and skalters skills timed out during that time

[glass monolith]

This damn bonkers

[tall widget]

Mandragora…

[stoic knot]

Roger thanks a lot for all the tips! have good day !

[tall widget]

Please, I need help for this fucking stage.

[sly drift]

Surtr it for meme

[tall widget]

Wow amazing help 10/10

[vernal lion]

your squad?

[sly drift]

You fail that stage mainly because you miss the pillar. Get the correct time and burst her. That's the suggestion

[tall widget]

Kind of a mess

[sly drift]

Do you have other burst?

[tall widget]

Pozy???

[sly drift]

Use S3 pozy

You wouldn't farm that stage anyway. You can use support ops

[tall widget]

Will try later

[vernal lion]

Blaze s2m3 can solo right side by herself
Mudrock on left side, also have sniper to kill hovering enemy
Idk if Amiya with 2 medic can stall and kill Mandra p1, you can try that first

after that, just spam all pillars on her to death (fr)

[soft salmon]

H6-4 tips? I keep getting frozen

[soft crystal]

its actually a good farm stage for rma

4-9 is just as good but feels worse.

[sly drift]

Seriously tho. Wtf is wrong with this mode

I think I'm going insane

[storm current]

@soft crystal nah

4-9 is terrible

[soft crystal]

use s2 texas, should be simple with blaze and mudrock holding 2 lanes

[storm current]

rather 7-10 or 9-19 ye

because 4-9 has shitty T3 drop rate since it has T4 RMA
but nowadays you dont need T4 RMA, you need T3 instead

[soft crystal]

i think you just chip down mandragora with texas s2 with rocks as well

[sly drift]

Idk but this shit relied too much in rng

[soft crystal]

that wasnt too hard

[sly drift]

Maybe you're lucky just go again

[soft salmon]

Should be all I've got

[indigo wolf]

Bro what

[soft salmon]

Honestly I've mostly been pulling a no brainer with these levels

[storm current]

hmm ye

[indigo wolf]

Keep that and play on that acc

[storm current]

you prob can just

ling + texalt it somehow

[soft salmon]

oh

ok

[soft crystal]

lumen s1 can soften the freezing too

[storm current]

well

it most likely strategy issue

[soft salmon]

ic

[storm current]

wait a bit

@soft salmon actually

whats your current issue

the huge mobs wave

or the ice cleave

or frost nova

[soft salmon]

Mobs wave and just being frozen alot, ig

[storm current]

so all you need to do

[dusky wolf]

easy

[storm current]

is spam texalt

but retreat imediate

[elder flume]

[soft salmon]

Aight.

Also like, the Oneiros and Mortar gunners are also big problems

Was thinking I could deal with Oneiros with ifrit since they r going in a straight line

[storm current]

hmm

[dusky wolf]

man there are just so good rejection in is3 even though its a debuff like auto cast

[storm current]

you have exu

she should uh

kill FN by herself

[soft salmon]

Yeah, Frostnova shouldn't be a problem

It's just the constant freezing that fumbles my entire lineup

[storm current]

oh wait

you have suzu

you can uh

S3 the mob

suzu can group up to 3 enemies waves

then nuke with texalt

[soft salmon]

Ic

[storm current]

pinecone true aoe is good too

but eh

your team is overkill

[soft salmon]

Tbh, it's just the ranged enemies like the drones and mortar gunners that hit and freeze

[soft salmon]

I've got no brain to use it so huge nerf

[storm current]

texalt can instant kill drone btw

even if shes frozen

for mortar you can spawn kill with like

ling dragon prob

[soft salmon]

hm ok

[fiery hound]

I need help for this map, these two berserks mobs are so many and fast
this is harder than most challenge maps in IS

[glass monolith]

Solution 1. VERY good tank and medic and pray
Solution 2. Hope than you have delete button
Also you may slow/root/freeze them as they still degen HP

[gilded peak]

Where should I place the roadblocks? I keep losing 😦

[glass monolith]

Above blue box and bottom right from blue box, extra blocks can be used to make enemy waste time on left to go around this tower instead straight down. Also have some operator who can be droped on mortal dudes in bottom right (Like Melantha)

[gilded olive]

If saria survived corrupted knight special attack on danger level 20. How long would it take ger to kill him?

[gilded peak]

Thank you 😭

[naive oar]

Need help with PR-B-2, if possible without support

want to farm it as i only lack the chips to e2 GG

[brisk pollen]

the last knight whooped my ass even i had texalter and surtr, how do i defeat him

[storm current]

bring more markman lol @naive oar

[naive oar]

sure, but like i already suffer at the start as the drones start killing my units before i even got the 3rd one down.

oh i did it (with a support)

1/8 chip packs, lets goo

[sonic willow]

e1 anti air snipers

[naive oar]

these early drones hurt and kill my snipers so fast...

[sonic willow]

should just e2 texas first

[glass monolith]

Thanks industry boost for turning 300 into 320 Fuck this minigame

[naive oar]

dont have the xp

[tawdry temple]

This is VERY HARD I SWEAR

NOT EVEN TEXALTER CAN HANDLE

[glass monolith]

Blue box camping issue. Blue box camp harder

[storm current]

for your information

ye you will want pozy to counter that stage

the stage is terrible

you should try your best to avoid that stage

[glass monolith]

I want to find emergency version of that stage and flex at it

[tidal sedge]

How much stats do rot eaters get per enemy killed

[vocal topaz]

clear this stage while triggering "asset liquidation", what is it?

[tidal sedge]

Asset liquidation is when the bar fills

[vocal topaz]

where to read the mechanic? I skip everything

[tidal sedge]

Its in a tutorial.

[vocal topaz]

ok

[tidal sedge]

There is a dedicated tutorial to explaining kt

go do that stage to remember how it works

[vocal topaz]

I didn't even notice there is a bar

[glass monolith]

You won't like chapter 10

[vocal topaz]

I have done chap 10 when it released

mudrock

[cursive mango]

how important is it to have a nice dorm with lots of ambiance

[storm current]

5*, dream

Very satisfying

@cursive mangohigher ambience = more morale recovery

but it is capped by the dorm level

also more credit but its diminishing return

[cursive mango]

I use 252 but I have one level 2 factory making xp

so I've got a level 2 dorm and level 4 one

[storm current]

you should downgrade dorm for more factory level

[cursive mango]

is it purely just ascetics

[storm current]

factory is direct production up

higher dorm mean you can recovery your main worker, like proviso shamare faster

[glass monolith]

5* power (feature curse bait Cutter) 💪

[storm current]

mayer was really important here

maybe i will get cliff later

[outer sail]

I forgot that Mlynar has increased taunt until I tried to use him on a Faust stage... But... then I also realized he's actually a heck of a tank... 4.2k hp? Wtf?

[cosmic dagger]

mayer is really strong for is3

global stun against drifters is nuts

just doesnt work so well with ling opener so shes not that favored in cn meta

[storm current]

kermit

what other 5* is good for IS3

i think i would only get like

[civic nest]

kroo-

[storm current]

rockrock for last knight

oh no krooster yet

[cosmic dagger]

you'd be better off asking igneus i guess

from a rarity abuse point of view, elysium and shamare also work very well

but 5* team is not my thing

so idk

[storm current]

uh

[civic nest]

elysium isn’t dead weight?!?

[storm current]

do i need a protector

[civic nest]

omg

[cosmic dagger]

i mean, if you're gonna open with krooster

elysium shamare makes a lot of sense

[storm current]

i will consider later when i actually have them

[eager gate]

Leizi clears a lot of stages nearly by herself as long as you can drop her early enough

[ebon oxide]

nj

[cinder pike]

is regular texas module worth to level up?

[hollow forum]

nah, lvl 1 is fine

[storm current]

10% skill dmg is so meme

[glass monolith]

I shoperatored Ceobe for nothing but killing 3.75m hp robots in PO0, tell me about memes
Also now i own 3 dogs who all about food

[soft crystal]

E2 s1m3 bp early on in is3 kinda works

[storm current]

i wonder if scene is still useful in IS3

[glass monolith]

Well outside of maps with seaborns who throw Earth supply of spike balls on every melee operator (AND BAIT AWAY ALL RANGED OPERATORS), why not

[lethal dragon]

Can someone tell me wtf is this

[lethal dragon]

Based

[frigid kite]

Sup

[lethal dragon]

She does pretty good I used her at D7
But for early floors only

[frigid kite]

IS3 3rd boss is aerial or ground?

[lethal dragon]

Ground

[frigid kite]

Nice

Are there low-altitude enemies?

[storm current]

@lethal dragon monthly operator btw

current month is thorns

[lethal dragon]

Ohhhhh

[storm current]

its time gated

[lethal dragon]

Fuuuuck

[glass monolith]

current 2 months

[lethal dragon]

I only have this one left to get

And that commissions one

[frigid kite]

Lol 💀

[glass monolith]

Watch out, boss entered invisibility

[frigid kite]

Yeah she destroyed my ass

While invisible

[tawny solar]

What is this

Dafuq

[cosmic dagger]

ending 2

[signal granite]

this ending 2 need him remain alive or no?

[latent anvil]

Ya he can't die on ur side till floor 5 when he go away

Else it go back end1

[glass monolith]

Yea good luck doing that.
Fun fact, operator max HP relics buffs his hp

[gray stone]

Who is the best unit for Last Knight?

[tawny solar]

Been pretty unlucky with maps and stuff thus far

After yesterday’s clear

:(

[cosmic dagger]

last knight is a stage with a lot of problems to solve so its hard to say who is best

probably mr nothing (no cc duration relic) or gnosis (yes cc duration relic)

[gray stone]

Yeah but who is the best to take him down P2

[cosmic dagger]

oh

kal no competition

[gray stone]

Explain

[cosmic dagger]

gg works in lower difficulty, but she does nothing higher up

he respawns to 25% max hp

which is about 60k on max difficulty

2 kal cycles take care of his phase 2

but you need to stall for 2 cycles with crowd control

how you do it is up to you

[ancient hearth]

nothing needs e2 and module right?

[cosmic dagger]

mod2 yeah

or erato will desync

if you intend to do no erato then mod3

as you need the 3 second activation instead of 4 second activation

2s freeze + double s2 activation to interrupt windup = 3s for stun

[gleaming briar]

Okay how the hell do I do lies of civilization? Pray?

[soft crystal]

Have yoh tried lee on last knight cause he reflects freeze

Chill*

[soft crystal]

Hi

Question above

[cosmic dagger]

tried, works well in lower difficulties as he doesnt get oneshot by knight

[soft crystal]

thank u

[merry narwhal]

If you get a cc relic and ptilo, can Erato solo stall?

[cosmic dagger]

sleep isnt extended by cc relic

unfortunately

[merry narwhal]

🗿

[cosmic dagger]

oh wait i didnt see the ptilo part

mr nothing erato even with mod3 nothing still desyncs once in a while due to freeze interval

but ptilo fixes it

cc duration relic sllows mr nothing to solo perma cc though

[merry narwhal]

Sounds absolutely aids

[merry narwhal]

No ptilo?

[cosmic dagger]

hmmm

maybe the attack windup tech needs ptilo?

im not sure honestly

but i know for a fact that phase 1 below 50% hp and phase 2 mr nothing can solo perma cc

phase 1 above 50% hp without ptilo ive never tried

[tawny solar]

What’s mr nothing’s job

[vernal lion]

use frd or some other defenders to bait the attack of Father Agenir

or, you can just Ling the stage

[cosmic dagger]

#is-station message

[blissful wren]

Should I prioritize getting Modules or Masteries?

[soft crystal]

Masteries first

[storm current]

depend on the unit usually

some only need mod1 to fucntion, which is faster to do than mastery

[fallow tree]

idek what is happening and how i get this

i shouldnt atk the boss when starting ?

[green frost]

is it even possible to do Sanguinarch's Legacy with only one melee unit

My units

[storm current]

you are fucked

[green frost]

lmao

[storm current]

make sure to at least have 2 melee units at some point

excluding texalt

[turbid badge]

yeaa

[storm current]

she doesnt hold lane

[turbid badge]

ur kinda ficked the other guys are just gonna leak

I doibt ull be able to kill both forms

[green frost]

welp

rip

[eager gate]

Prolly possible with massive nightmare copium

[green frost]

I actually

could've done it if I'd taken Perfumer S2

[eager gate]

And a chain caster to kill 1st forms

[storm current]

do you need to borrow shamare

[green frost]

nah Shamare was just the only one that interested me of the supporters I could afford

[fluid sail]

shamare s1

[green frost]

don't know anything about Shamare

(oh I took S2 dw)

(just had S1 on prior because I was lazy)

but I'd bought riot piles

and perfumer talent actually regens health of riot piles

if I'd taken her S2 then her regen would've been wikd

oh well

[storm current]

Riot pile hardly has any def

Chance of it surviving is really slim

[green frost]

still did a surprising job of keeping enemies back

[blissful wren]

What are some 6* that are good to get mod?

[storm current]

uh

too vague

who do you have

[blissful wren]

This is my units

[gleaming lodge]

Texas and Exu

[blissful wren]

Ty

[sleek siren]

i need help bullying the monsters on stage s2-6
am i lacking casters and medics? please help me ty 🙏🙏

[storm current]

ok ok

replace your medics

they are not good at normal healing

they are specific for latr chapter

what you want to do is dropping a dps onto the caster

since they have splash, you want them to target 1 unit only

[tidal sedge]

Anyone got any tips for 7-18.

Patriot keeps gigachading me to death

[storm current]

Borrow mlynar or kaltsit

They can easily kill him

especially mlynar

[tidal sedge]

Kal can kill patriot?

[storm current]

Mon3tr, her summon, deal true dmg

Patriot has 2100 def and 90 res, so you either use true dmg or physical dmg so high, it works

Which is mlynar with 3.6k dph

[coral haven]

Can someone remind what exactly this means?

[frigid kite]

Funny
