strategy

[crimson cedar]

omg

i can

[latent anvil]

The downside is that the alternate operator rewards are gonna be gone after the event is over

[cursive wedge]

and no more skin vouchers

[tidal sedge]

It’s just recently that you could, it was allowed after this event started

[proud onyx]

In the LS-5 stage, I need low cost vanguard OPs to deal with the early swarm, but most of my vanguards are block 1

How to deal with this?

I have Zima, Grani, Mertle, Beanstalk

[cedar hound]

Should've fang

Even vanila

[orchid marlin]

Fang has that sentimental value

[proud onyx]

I am just afraid he will get instantly killed right in the first 2 wolves

OK lemme farm him up quickly

[orchid marlin]

Does the shield recover after each fight?

[cedar hound]

No

[orchid marlin]

I swear I've seen it recover, then it dropped 1 point. What's the point vs life

[latent anvil]

There's an upgrade that gives you free shield after each level

[latent anvil]

Max life goes down like 3/4 2/4

[storm current]

point act like how

however

if you go low on life, you can get heal

[sonic willow]

losing shield doesn't drop light

[storm current]

and if hp1, you can trigger the king relic

[orchid marlin]

Mmm I see I see

[tidal sedge]

@turbid badge are you available?

[orchid marlin]

@latent anvil @storm current

[storm current]

why does astgene get +50 hp on mod3

the others arent the same

is this some kind of special treatment

[limpid siren]

probably arbitrary

they all end up in about the same place

[grave talon]

Can you remove this through light?

[storm current]

no

you can cleanse it from special encounter, relic

or from regional contract when you complete it

[tidal sedge]

Is ex stages are not open yet right

[hollow forum]

not yet

[tidal sedge]

K thx

[solid thistle]

Anyone know what this option does? I assume its combat, but what are the rewards?

[limpid siren]

standard combat rewards iirc

it's a special combat vs 3 ch9 fireball casters, 2 yellow candle knights, and 1 red candle knight

[solid thistle]

Ty

[grave talon]

What ops do I need?

F this

[storm current]

look like unlucky for texas to be cursed

[hollow forum]

mlynar pozy and taxes murders her, so yeah

what kind of curse did you get on texas there

[storm current]

but you can horn here

or penance reflect will kill boss since she attack 3 times

[gentle finch]

horn wins this stage

this works too

i used penance for first phase yeah

[grave talon]

Rejection curse thingy

The one that decreases base stats but also decrease dp cost and dp red

[gentle finch]

↑

the worst best one

[grave talon]

Rng is cucking me

[gentle finch]

It's actually pretty good if you have a ton of relics that buff Texas's kit

but that's unlikely

very

otherwise she just turns into a stun slave

[grave talon]

I see

Thanks a lot!

[cursive wedge]

i accidentally forced closed and ended my is run

[grave talon]

I can replace mlynar with thorns, right?

[cursive wedge]

mlynar > thorns

in is3

[grave talon]

Oki oki, thanks

That offer though

[cursive wedge]

i mean if he’s free

then go for it

[turbid badge]

lol but mlynar!

[frigid kite]

But free

[cursive wedge]

right

[frigid kite]

Also thorns is usable as a meatshield

[crystal hound]

Hi guys, I just started playing arknights and I rolled several times and got these, is there a good team for newbies I can build with them?

[sonic willow]

reroll for texas

[cursive wedge]

ntr and ang aren’t rly good starter units

[crystal hound]

Should I use my senior transfer permit that I have to get her?

[cursive wedge]

texas alter from the banner

[crystal hound]

Well, let's just say I got unlucky..

[frigid kite]

Keep pulling

Or reroll

Texas alter worth it

[crystal hound]

I have nothing

[cursive wedge]

reroll

[thorny summit]

Tutorial for clearing this level? I don't wanna borrow anyone so I can autoplay

[frigid kite]

Sure 1 moment

[wild quarry]

i try to get this formation going as soon as i can

then because i have ifrit

then replace vanguards

modify to work with who you have

good luck!

the trick is that the left side has a lot of generic beatsticks, but the right side has high DEF enemies that need arts

[frigid kite]

@thorny summit

Got the screenshot late lol

Now

[wheat spear]

isn't passenger s2 + gg enough for right or nah?

[frigid kite]

You can farm this stage but actually you shouldn't, keep doing actual event

You have a lot of xp on Event's shop (Il'Siracusano) and try to get Texas Ormentosa as priority

[frigid kite]

Idk maybe

Also surtr s2

[wheat spear]

Yep. Seems fine

It should be noted that you have 7 more slots to deal with any differences in dps

[wheat spear]

^ for these specific ops

[tidal sedge]

You can significantly decrease art barrage from artillery by just placing more ops for them to target right

I mean reduce their single target damage

[frigid kite]

Yup or use someone like Nightingale

[tidal sedge]

Unfortunately I do not have the crippled medic

btw for shoperators is there a cycle from whatever appeared in cn is in en or no

[wheat spear]

honestly myrtle tanked it with her talent healing her too kekw

[tidal sedge]

can steam knight be beaten with sa eyja ifrit cores, nowhere near that stage just curious

[turbid badge]

hm?

which

H version or uhh

Normal

[tidal sedge]

Regular

[frigid kite]

If you can get ride of the normal enemies you can just stall the steam Knight throwing anything you have at him to tank, for 11-20

[turbid badge]

Probably

[turbid badge]

yea

[tidal sedge]

oh so it's relatively easy as long the peons are dead?

[turbid badge]

u can stall with a dollkeeper and 3 frdp lol

[formal moss]

How does one get skalter Ending? Also is skalter and highmore the only bosses?

[turbid badge]

No

[tidal sedge]

I have uhhh

[turbid badge]

more coming

theres also 2nd boss

[tidal sedge]

Gravel red jaye

[formal moss]

like rn tho

[hollow forum]

Highmore > Last Knight > Skalter

in that order

if you haven't done LK, then no skalter for you

[formal moss]

How do i get Last Knight then?

[turbid badge]

Just get knight

and make him live

[hollow forum]

get his encounter

you need to sacrifice 2 hope and max hope or roll a die roll for his relic

[turbid badge]

and he will be boss at end

[hollow forum]

then he'll fight with you until floor 5

keep him alive until then

[tidal sedge]

Can steam knight be stalled with defender cycles plus a few frds to catch the minor croaks

[formal moss]

Ah ic ic, ty

[hollow forum]

he also has a relic that reduces his defense by 80%, applies to both him while fighting with you and his boss version

[turbid badge]

Sure

u can stall with defender

[tidal sedge]

Cuora works?

[turbid badge]

Yeah but u will need someone else

when her skills over

[tidal sedge]

K

[turbid badge]

so defender spam basically

[tidal sedge]

3 defender cycle time

[hollow forum]

either that or you borrow a mod 3 nian

[turbid badge]

either that or u be smart and go shining + skalter

or just get a shamare and moouse

[hollow forum]

^

[tidal sedge]

Ok thanks I'll stall him when I get to him, are there any scary stages before it

[turbid badge]

nah

Maybe the caster one

but u can just burst

with horn and friends

[tidal sedge]

I got an sl7 shamare, it good enough?

[turbid badge]

ye

u can cycle between that and Defender

shield

skill

[tidal sedge]

Oh alright thanks

[hollow forum]

if you have a raised roberta then you can also add her in

[turbid badge]

yea

[tidal sedge]

Btw which stage is the caster stage

[turbid badge]

she blocks 1 instance

really nice

[tidal sedge]

Like the one he talked about

does penance work or does her shield get incinerated

[turbid badge]

umm

How will h charge her shield

Her

lmao

cant stall forever

[hollow forum]

is caster stage H11-1

because I don't recall any other caster stage in ch 11

[gentle finch]

Yeh it's H11-1

some other have casters but not to that extent

[hollow forum]

then yeah penance aint lasting through that

[turbid badge]

lol slowing enemy aspd is funny with pram

even funnier when she gets mod 🔜

heehe

atleast she doesnt get one shot

lol

she should in H stages tho

[storm current]

penance against this guy is so funny

me when

[gentle finch]

xd

[storm current]

Why choose 1 if you can use both

||totally doesnt work for adverse since x2 defender cost||

[gentle finch]

i can't even see the op to the right

I'll assume mudrock

[storm current]

yes mudrock

thus the stun

[gentle finch]

yes

[turbid badge]

meebo

alotof damage i know

[cursive wedge]

teta op

[frigid kite]

This ain't a curse

This is the full bless

[turbid badge]

this is fairly cheap!!

[turbid badge]

YEA

LOL

[storm current]

Its a curse for tequila

[cursive wedge]

26 ☠️

[turbid badge]

is there even any upcoming 6 star supporters

oh wait stainless

oh yea

[hollow forum]

also silence alt

but she's not gacha so

[scarlet ledge]

teta so pro

[marsh surge]

I'm just not able to clear the Mining Service game thing in ak with my squads. I can reach around 5/6 and then get completely overwhelmed. Are there any broad suggestions I can follow with regards to this game mode?

I generally use Horn, Spectral, Ceobe and/or Mudrock as some of my main dmg units I buff with everyone else. I've been building Penance now and she seems to be pretty good at this when buffed with atk and dp regen...

(I got no Irene or GG)

[storm current]

ye no clue what you are talking about

can you screen shot

[foggy grove]

sss?

[rough anvil]

Sss

[storm current]

oh sound like you havent spamming supporter enough

[marsh surge]

Yea that

[fluid sail]

get more supporters in your deck or borrow a different carry

[marsh surge]

Ling, Skalter and Suzu, they only give rng swap right

[storm current]

thats not enough lol

[fluid sail]

the supporters don’t have to be built either, just use your cheapest ones

[rough anvil]

Some quick tips? You can borrow a unit, gnosis / gg / Irene are who I usually go with but there are some other carries like mlynar

[marsh surge]

Orchid as well

[storm current]

supporter help drawing more ops, more ops mean you can build stack faster

[fluid sail]

I always bring e0 lvl 1 sora they don’t need to be built

[storm current]

you should fill half of your team with supporter

[marsh surge]

So what do I get with using supporters?

[storm current]

when in doubt, add supporter

[fluid sail]

supporters basically guarantee you being able to access the strong ops needed to clear the map

[marsh surge]

I can build stacks relatively fast enough as far as I've seen. The problem is dealing with the enemies' dmg at higher levels

[storm current]

eh

[marsh surge]

I get one-shot before I can deal any dmg

[storm current]

you should try stuff like

mlynar carry borrow

[rough anvil]

I usually bring a few medics, stack like 2 or three to reduce damage on everyone

[storm current]

goldenglow isnt that good for sloma, since fog of war

[marsh surge]

I realise I'm being super vague with my descriptions but in the newest sss I was basically rolled over at stage 6

[fluid sail]

I haven’t needed to bring multiple medics in sss like ever, just bringing more dmg has been better
& more supporters ofc

[waxen swan]

I just run one

[marsh surge]

Penance got full stacks and so did exu

[storm current]

you technically need at least 1 medic for sloma floor 8

[fluid sail]

exu is bad in sss as a carry, aa snipers in general since def scales so hard

[marsh surge]

I was swapping between Ceobe and Exu

[storm current]

hmmm

[rough anvil]

I usually end up with two or three medics, a defender or two, gnosis/gg/Irene and I never have any issues with full clearing

[marsh surge]

Won't Ceobe be pretty good again high def enemies

[storm current]

have you tried melee carry team instead of ranged

[fluid sail]

ceobe would be fine in sss, you’d only want to use exu as fodder

[waxen swan]

I just use gg

[fluid sail]

Irene s3 is fun & also pretty easy to use since aoe

[marsh surge]

I basically tried Penance carry this time. Usually I use gg or Irene borrow but still suck

[fluid sail]

same with mudrock s2, just forget about her & she does fine

[storm current]

have you tried penance + mlynar + vanguard spam

[waxen swan]

She can't see but she can hit anything she can see

[marsh surge]

No mlynar

[storm current]

borrow mlynar

[waxen swan]

Mlynar is good just to distract the sniper

[gentle finch]

oh

i haven't tried penance in SSS yet

will be fun

[marsh surge]

She seems to scale well with the guard and vanguard buffs. Cuz she only 20sp

[rough anvil]

Also keep in mind, only your carries need to be built, your stackers really dont need to be built so I usually just bring my cheapest cost snipers for ranged carries

[storm current]

vanguard stack guarantee she wont die

[marsh surge]

60M1 not built? It's already being M2'd

[turbid badge]

shield gaming

[rough anvil]

You lost me, I have no idea what you mean

[marsh surge]

Penance kekw

[gentle finch]

level 60 M1

[rough anvil]

I'm not talking about penance

Idk why you responded to me

[marsh surge]

In general aah

[rough anvil]

Oh yeah

[marsh surge]

Yeah nvm

I'll try mlynar out with more supporters and cheaper units to see how it goes

[storm current]

you may need 2 melee blocker for sloma since several maps are 2 lane

[ruby gale]

Y'all Mlynar Literary destroys the game for me

I swear I did all the stages first try with him, whereas before i struggle alot

[waxen swan]

Well yeah

His like the best dps on the game right now

[storm current]

its almost like hes the strongest unit in the game

[waxen swan]

Probably

Idk

[elder flume]

Reed bug will prevail

[turbid badge]

rare 1hp

aak and penance is so a good combo

[sly drift]

Oh my bad. It doesn't work in boss battle

[elder flume]

isnt f3 a leader battle kekw

[sly drift]

Yea lol nvm

[soft crystal]

Eun should be on the other side lol

[turbid badge]

lol i was just trying out penance barrier soam

maybe shoul m3

aak hits for 15 times for 15 Sp than she needs to smack boss 5 times for 5 sp

[dense stone]

FUCK that is a really good idea

penance is almost unusable in high level content that might go a long way to making her viable

[vernal lion]

@elder flume does FEater skill attack not count as a projectile hit? like Shaw and Weedy are all projectile hit

[turbid badge]

yeaaa its nice i guess

[turbid badge]

just texas alter them

[dusky wolf]

no specialist voucher

oh gnosis ice works

[turbid badge]

nice

[dusky wolf]

[vernal lion]

it's hovering, stun/sleep/frozen all work

[turbid badge]

real

[full finch]

not 0 HP smh

[vernal lion]

I believe 0 HP is usually happened to DOT dmg, but that's still rare to see multiple times

BK DOT dmg is 2000, but the drone is still alive

[full finch]

0 HP happens due to decimal damage values

the HP counter only expresses integers, but actual damage values can include decimals

so 0 HP is actually like

0.4 HP or something

[vernal lion]

yea, it's the same kind to buff based on number value

if it's higher than 0.5, it rounds up, and vice versa

[full finch]

it doesn't happen much in general content since all units have integer stats by default

[turbid badge]

lul

well silence alter exixts now

[full finch]

I wonder
what happens if specter is at 0 HP

and uses S2

does she get +1 HP

[vernal lion]

yea

also, EB fart skill forces every op that is staying inside the fog permanently true 0 HP

[elder flume]

its a hitscan radar

idk what u would define as projectile tbh

[vernal lion]

then when push + sleep works and fails?

take this example,
I want to move the flag dude into the hole, so I need sleep to work too

so between pulling and pushing, pulling has to be better because it's not projectile hit

[full finch]

use enforcer

[turbid badge]

wow u can alot of infected ops

[vernal lion]

it's 0 dmg on both skills, right?

[full finch]

ye

be careful of basic attacks tho

since they hit 2 targets

[elder flume]

s1 is not zero

[full finch]

he might also just fucking die to spiky chest

wait enforcer s1 deals damage?

[elder flume]

uhuh

[turbid badge]

it sends a normal attack

pretty sure

[full finch]

does the sentinel make it into the hole before activating

or wait

they shouldn't be able to activate while unstable though

[vernal lion]

just try it, if you can see the enemy hp bar

[elder flume]

this is basically how feater works

green flags die

red flags in theory activate then die

[vernal lion]

red flag codes different?

[elder flume]

they have a specter s2 coded

cant die until trigger flag

oh wait

i think i remember dm ex 5 shiftable to hole

leme find the vid

[full finch]

wait

holes don't deal normal damage

like water

[elder flume]

ok they die

red flag doesnt care if hole

[vernal lion]

deep sea water is coded as true dmg

[full finch]

because DH water deals like 10k true damage
and enemies do the dying animation

[vernal lion]

yes

[full finch]

but holes have special animation

of falling

[turbid badge]

falling

[vernal lion]

hole can be called as instant-death tho

[full finch]

it even kills bosses

NL-S-4 moment

[turbid badge]

Mizuki moment

[full finch]

???

what

[elder flume]

ed 4 is3

[turbid badge]

oh when mizuki flies off the map

[elder flume]

kekw

[full finch]

[elder flume]

izumik collisionless is prob not something to try

if you fail then you have to restart run

[vernal lion]

hole makes enemy from any kind of full HP that drops to 0 HP, without activating any revivable or survivable skills

basically, hole acts like a special environment that removes enemy from the battle and makes enemy counter counting +1 enemy

[turbid badge]

https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1t24y1c7LQ? Bullying Izumik 949381059097788536>

[elder flume]

ye i watched the vid

[turbid badge]

lmaoao weong reply

smh!

[elder flume]

extension of feater principle

its always a radar that snaps when skill use

[elder flume]

pulling however can fail if they target the chest
but rope s2 fixes that so if u have her then yea go ahead
i havent gotten that stage so i cant test hitboxes
maybe feater radar is short enough to not hit casters who knows

idk if chest has -taunt

i assume they do hmm

still have to time skill

[charred void]

which one good? i using the mudrock monthly squad in IS2

[hollow forum]

I always go support squad personally

[turbid badge]

leader

[tranquil patrol]

Hmm Is there a way to beat siracusa final boss without any civilians dying?

[turbid badge]

probably

[hollow forum]

could be possible, but idk if someone has actually attempted it yet

[storm current]

easy actually

you just uh

spawn kill then tank him

he does physical so not that hard

[charred void]

for is2 monthly squad do i try to go as far as i can and still get castle notes exp? or just reach the objective floor?

[storm current]

doesnt matter

you get no exp regardless

[hollow forum]

I don't think you get candles for those runs

usually you go to floor 3 and call it

[elder flume]

eben buff squad kills wolf in 2 shots so shouldnt be hard to keep civies alive

[tranquil patrol]

hmm problem is that he does the roar thing which dots the civilians and kills them

Ohh Eben buff squad

[elder flume]

keeping civis alive is time loss so gluck

[charred void]

u mean like go to beginning of floor 3 and exit?

[storm current]

if you just nuke him

the DOT will go away

[hollow forum]

yeah

since that's the bare minimum requirement for monthly squad

you can go further if you want to

but it gives you nothing other than some extra dialouge

[tranquil patrol]

Ohh.. Thanks

[limpid temple]

What's the best way to use Mizuki in SSS?

[storm current]

5x vg

or you can do vg mix with g too

[limpid temple]

What about healing? his s3 dmges him

[storm current]

dont use s3

thats it

use s1

[limpid temple]

Oh, even if it's not mastery?

[storm current]

yes

for mizuki, s1 and s2 are his practical skill

s1 is more favorable for SSS since he get sp

[limpid temple]

Is it worth giving mastery to his other skills beside s3?

[storm current]

its actually the opposite

s3 is the skill you should not use

and you should M3 his s1 and s2

[limpid temple]

Oh...

[storm current]

s3 is terrible for dmg, even if you ignore the hp lost

[random widget]

Hii Epiku :>

[storm current]

[random widget]

What’s this for btw

[storm current]

you should like them

upon liking

[random widget]

Oh it’s alright to like all of them?

[storm current]

you get a sidequest item

yes

[random widget]

Oh cool I’ll do that

[storm current]

you can like 2 posts per days

its required for trimmed medal btw

[random widget]

Ohhh okay

Thanks Epiku

Wait

Your username is Epiku right

[limpid temple]

Which module is the best for Mizuki?

[storm current]

first

[charred void]

do i save for upgrade attack or upgrade def, hp, etc first? go right or down?

[noble pewter]

Atk n hp prob more valuable, def don't matter to arts enemy n those tanky enuf to tank will tank while those who aren't won't get tanky no matter how many more % u add, hp n atk however can help with possible relic

[charred void]

how about this recruiment

last one is the best? if rng good?

[tidal sedge]

It gives u three random classes, with a free 4 star recruitment

All maxed out after promoting them

[charred void]

so if my rng bad, i can just quit and restart again?

[vernal lion]

RNG only for proficient player

restarting a game will take ~1 minute to continue playing

[tidal sedge]

It's never that bad, unless u are playing Calamity Faceoff

[vernal lion]

Calamity Faceoff is still fine, you need to manage everything well tho

that's how roguelike works

[tidal sedge]

Btw most likely when will the skins that are running rn would return?

[vernal lion]

I'm not CN spy

[charred void]

sry what does this mean? is it only apply to that 4 star ops?

[tidal sedge]

Yeah, let's say u get Click who is a 4 star caster. After promoting them to E2 in IS he'd get all masteries and potentials

[vernal lion]

https://tomimi.dev/en

details for combat stages in IS2 and IS3

[tidal sedge]

Recruiting them don't consume Hope so go for it, I'd say

[storm current]

Podenco + abyssal to buff skalter
Amiya buff skalter and rosmontis
A caster to trigger rosmontis talent

still hardly any dps

but hey she nuked the 3rd floor boss

[eager gate]

why not s2 tho
in my experience it's much better when you don't need Rosmo to sandwich the boss and kill it

[grave talon]

Is this still a meme teem for you guys?

1 hour per run tho, so costly

[eager gate]

who called that meme team? Those are normie picks as far as I can see

[foggy grove]

what meme

texas and mlynar

[glass monolith]

Meme is when you have this bullshit because you hate catapultborn so hard you evolve high ground

[eager gate]

Rate my chances of finishing indigo with this
it was 0

[inland barn]

hi, i'm new to Arknights and got two operators: Franka and Lunacub. i personally don't see them on the reroll guide, so i generally have no idea what kind of usage they'd have, can someone give me some insight?

for some context i downloaded the game around 30 minutes ago and used the free 10 pull on the limited banner

[eager gate]

generally people reroll accounts until they get a few strong and easy to use 6*s, rn probably aim for Mlynar
If you don't want to do that it's completely fine, the game likes to cater to new ops with stages but ultimately you can clear everything playing whatever meme you come up with, as long as it's not "i didn't level my ops and called it a niche team" and even THAT somehow clears things

[sonic willow]

only 6stars really matter in rerolls

[soft crystal]

aim for texas

[sonic willow]

best unit to get right now is texas

[scarlet fulcrum]

Go reroll for texas alter, read guide in pinned message

[inland barn]

ah okay

[soft crystal]

[inland barn]

i have a few banners that i could technically roll on

should i use those currencies on the limited banner instead?

[eager gate]

Texas is overrated

[inland barn]

ie the "Exclusive Headhunting Service" and guaranteed 5 star in the next 10 rolls banner

[glass monolith]

Both of them not popular,
Franka has chance to ignore enemy def, which is nice, but we either do so many physical damage we don't need to ignore enemy def, or enemy has so much def it is easier to use Arts damage operator
Lunacub... Permament camo is nice, but she have small damage compared to another camo sniper we have: April. And Lunacub can compare to April only during S2 , but Lunacub S2 will drop her camo if she don't kill and then die of cringe (and enemy ranged)

[scarlet fulcrum]

just pull on texas alter banner, she is only available there

[inland barn]

alright

[glass monolith]

Guaranteed 5 star in 10 exist on every banner, but because alot of 5* simply not worth it, it is not adviced to pick that deal

[inland barn]

should i use that orange looking currency?

[inland barn]

ah okay that makes sense

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just reroll if u dont get her, read guide in 📍

[inland barn]

gotcha

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its easier this time because u got 10 instant pulls

[glass monolith]

There are level gated packs which give you bonus materials while converting to at same ratio as if you just convert it

if you decide to use it to pull

[dapper meadow]

Does Nearl talent affect Skalter S2, which is "HP Restored"? Pretty sure the answer is yes, but not positive

[glass monolith]

Skalter is regen. Nearl affect all heals which show +Green number

And like ALL green numbers, you can buff La Pluma heals

[dapper meadow]

so No. bummer. Wtb more consistent semantics

[glass monolith]

By 6th Anniversary they will do wording rework, maybe

Players still confuse Cold/Freeze STATUS with ELEMENTAL damage

[dapper meadow]

ohh ok to be fair, i missed the effect part of "healing effect". Kinda makes more sense now

[elder flume]

arknights has no consistent semantics

you may think two same worded things work the same but eventually there will be a patch where one of them breaks and changes things

[glass monolith]

Which operator has "Attack interval increased" in blue color which normally means beneficial effect?

[inland barn]

since i got texas, does that mean i should stop rolling on the banner and roll on the exclusive headhunting service instead?

[sonic willow]

you can hunt for penance, but getting your newbie banner guarantee 6star is also good

[inland barn]

i'll do the first pull then since it's guaranteed i think

okay well apparently she's terrible, i got hoshiguma

but then again i have no idea

[dapper meadow]

this?
edit: Aosta

ctrl-f'd the list of op skills https://gamepress.gg/arknights/tools/interactive-operator-list#tags=null##cn##skills
Aosta was the only one i saw that was also blue. The skill description seems right, so looks like its simply just the wrong color

[charred void]

in IS2, do i just avoid emergency ops in the route?

and is it after every combat ops, theres 100% chance of getting a recruitment voucher?

[foggy grove]

The opposite

[storm current]

usually if you can

always go emergency

since emergency give more exp, ingots, and guarantee relic

[charred void]

i only have a few 3* vanguard, my 6* is texalter how to win this map xd

this is the stage before the emergency one

[hollow forum]

texas handles the corners

the enemies ( mostly dogs ), will run around in a loop before going into the middle box

[storm current]

it should work if you have double vanguard

you just need to watch out the wraith

[hollow forum]

^

and remember to kill the corner with the mortar first

that's it, really

[storm current]

i usually go like this

texas kill bottom right corner first

or whichever the mortar is at

[charred void]

ok i try

[elder flume]

ig conviction just goes to animation lock when it does damage but no enemies around to hit

[elder flume]

lumen s3 isnt infinite

it just consumes stacks when duration is done kekw

oh wait

when using skill again it retains the old ammo count before skill goes down

[glass monolith]

????

[latent monolith]

[lethal dragon]

Rain being rain

[glass monolith]

No wonder people got scared away and ask how to do stages in #help instead

Help checked here, seen rain, i decided to not redirect questions to here

[elder flume]

my random infinite duration testings prove to be doing something in pinchout

[glass monolith]

I will just bring Ceobe to pinchout and feed her all HP of robots

Texalter S2 for ST dmg/burst dps, S3 for stun/also dmg?

[hollow forum]

his atk doesnt seem to go down but ammo is down

still need to redo to see if he can remove status when cooldown

[lime terrace]

Can anyone help me with annhilation 12?

[trim void]

thorns with skadi buff can solo mandra

[glass monolith]

I see one problem. Why cat alive?

[hollow forum]

it appears the pillars were not set up right

[charred void]

IS2, pls help me to decide which is better, my 6* are e1 mountain, e2 texalter

[lime terrace]

Mine isn’t m3 yet

[glass monolith]

Back when i was doing anni 12 i used Ambriel (who attack Mandra in S2 because everything else has def), Goldenglow who (as soon as taunt dudes on top die) attack Mandra with S3 because she is closer to blue box, and Tequila because SWING SWING SWING (Also he can bait every single fireball while staying in front of middle pillar)

[lime terrace]

Maybe I’ll try that

[glass monolith]

She has damage reduction shield which drops every time she is pillared. I seen you have Horn. You can probably just S2 nuke grounded cat

[lime terrace]

Hold on I’ll show ops

[glass monolith]

Or mlynar that cat

[lime terrace]

One small issue

My mlynar skill is lvl 6

[foggy grove]

literal skill issue

[lime terrace]

True

[glass monolith]

"10% less of infinity is still infinity" - path of exile minion build player, before 40th nerf made them unplayable

[lime terrace]

I was thinking about using horn s1 for the invisible enemies but idk

[glass monolith]

It is up to you. My answer to enemy being alive was Goldenglow and Ambriel. For invis i used NTR S1 and Amiya Guard because 1 block made them tank only 1 enemy and take manageable amount of damage. All fireballs got stuck in Tequila

[lime terrace]

skill 1 on nearlter?

[glass monolith]

Well, infinite, 2 tiles, neat

[pearl sentinel]

which situation is lunacub good for? i rolled so many dupes of her i feel like i should use her more

[hardy fog]

how do you pass through Raging Billows for Thorns Monthly Squad

[lime terrace]

Wait the fireballs get stuck in tequilla even if his skill isn’t active?

[glass monolith]

She can be good in TW where you need to occupy space next to tower, as she is save from any bullshit which could kill her there
Otherwise outperformed by April in anything

[sonic willow]

lunacob is premium benchwarmer

[pearl sentinel]

gg

my account is BRICKED

[glass monolith]

yes, they hit 0 block operators

[lime terrace]

Oh ok

I bet skill level 6 mlynar is better than skill level 7 tequilla

[glass monolith]

Think about good stuff - it could be Windflit

Skill 3 Mlynar is better than Tequila

[lime terrace]

Tru

ok this is my squad so far

[pearl sentinel]

who is that

[glass monolith]

5* who is... Exists for some reason

[foggy grove]

draft something to carry useless thorn ass

you only need to reach floor 3

[hollow forum]

raging billows is floor 3

just quit and call it a day

[foggy grove]

ye don't be like me
didn't recognize the floor symbol

[lime terrace]

I don’t have goldenglow or chalter or kroos alter

[foggy grove]

and keep going

[glass monolith]

Another attempt on ending 2, but i am missing E2 defender to stall boss

[lime terrace]

I got that boss to 0 hp and he leaked

[hollow forum]

I know the pain

I only managed to tank him once with kal

[glass monolith]

My god he slaps for 2188 ATK on basic attack

3788 crits on frozen

And that's with me having 8% damage reduction and i think relic in -15% enemy ATK

[hollow forum]

if you can get that one relic that buffs he hell out of defenders then with sufficient healing and maybe skalter buff the 3* freebie generic defender can tank him for a bit

[glass monolith]

i think i am doing it

[hollow forum]

[sonic willow]

spot can stall for a bit

[glass monolith]

OH NO NOBODY OF MY IDIOTS FOCUS HIM

Note for myself in future, while rocks exists, operators ignore TLK

also GG FTW

[hollow forum]

gg is great for literally every boss in is3

if only I had her

[glass monolith]

I used KROOS ALTER because she has 20% stun to knock down hovering boys

[lime terrace]

yeah I don’t have it

Lol

my marksman pool is so bad

I just recently got exu and archetto but no mats for them rn

wait if they’re stunned can they fall in the hole

Like the flying things from is3

[glass monolith]

yes their pathing tells them to go hole no matter what

[lime terrace]

oh

damn I should use normal Texas s2 on them

[hollow forum]

iirc they also stay at the hole for a little bit before moving again

[lime terrace]

or something

yeah

[hollow forum]

s2 doesn't stun, s3 does

[lime terrace]

normal Texas

[hollow forum]

ah, right

then yeah

do that

I just kinda killed them with snipers instead

[glass monolith]

Also game uses spaghettis code to calculate distance toward blue box, before hover boy fully croos the hole game thing thay need to walk around entire map to get here (Which can explain why operators focus not stuff you want)

[lime terrace]

i see

[hollow forum]

I think I used BP to kill them, and she did pretty fine

[lime terrace]

Oh blue poison

i see

Ok meteorite died

I need like chalter there but I don’t have her

[glass monolith]

friend support?

[lime terrace]

i need goldenglow from support units

[glass monolith]

Goldenglow was my solution to mandra back when Mlynar Texas alter didn't exist, it is overkill now

[lime terrace]

So I can take out goldenglow?

[glass monolith]

You can try, i am not sure, you don't have to 100% copy paste clears, add something of your own

Like if you don't have kroos atler just bring another best sniper you have and you don't have to place them in front, can place at right of Ptilo

And if it looks like they gonna leak just drop texas alter S3 on them to make them hole

[lime terrace]

true true

i think I’ll put meteorite next to Honeyberry

[hardy fog]

such a dead weight

[main halo]

The hell is this?

[foggy grove]

e1 thorns is cringe fr

i drafted kroos right after

[hardy fog]

real

[storm current]

thorns is cringe ye

i rather draft specter or highmore so that i can recruit a 6* after the first batter

[glass monolith]

Didn't knew Gemcraft and Arknigths had Collab

[storm current]

so far 3rd ending boss are easy for me

its mainly the stages in 4th and 5th floor that fuck up

[glass monolith]

90% of my floor 3 bosses is this duo

[hardy fog]

idk man i always meet old man carmen (literally didn't obliterate my squad with his handcanon)

[hollow forum]

the duo and this shadow clone doggo seem to show up way more often than carmen

[hardy fog]

wait

[hollow forum]

for some reason

[hardy fog]

i got tulip

is she gud

[hollow forum]

very

[glass monolith]

Pog

[hollow forum]

she's like chen, but vanguard

[hardy fog]

zamnnn

this is the one from the task nodes right

[hollow forum]

yeah, one and the same

she just doesn't show up very often

[hardy fog]

i see

[storm current]

art should work better

[hardy fog]

man i'd rather pick tulip over e1 thorns for monthly

[glass monolith]

At least you can use S2 to cheese this god damn mandatory Singularity or whatever stage

[hollow forum]

I got my thorns E2'd instantly and also got the +aspd toy

actually made it all the way to the end and killed the boss too

[grand wave]

umm.... can anyone explain to me how i beat is-8

[hollow forum]

show your squad

[glass monolith]

God damn another Ling banner accident, when everyone have E2 of new meta OP but nothing else

[hollow forum]

Hm

what other defenders do you have

[latent anvil]

Maybe ifrit borrow, or mlynar

[latent anvil]

Tho that cleaner will eat everything

[hollow forum]

also I'm seeing texas s2

please use s3

[glass monolith]

Wait is that fucking pot 4?

[grand wave]

s2 does more dmg and im using it to kill croco

[grand wave]

yes...

[hollow forum]

I don't think the croc is the problem when I don't even think your team can survive the actual enemy swarm

[grand wave]

its not surviving

at 30 mobs killed

i get destroyed

by everyone

[hollow forum]

yeah you should probably borrow a mlynar

[latent anvil]

Did you use all the xp/lmd in shop

If not I think level a defender or something

[foggy grove]

just borrow blue woman

the imbalance

[latent anvil]

Oh ya ling is option

Go copy ling hw

[grand wave]

uh im buying the mats from the first store to try and e2 pen next week

[latent anvil]

I see, that fine too

[glass monolith]

Don't neglet other rarities

[grand wave]

i just need to farm the dual chips

[hollow forum]

for the time being you can go and copy some ling guides somewhere

until you can e2 penance

[grand wave]

so use ling to beat is-8?

[hollow forum]

for now, yeah

there should be plenty of guides for you to look at w ling

[hardy fog]

how to beat Saint Carmen

[hollow forum]

just bait his bullets out ig

you can also just throw texas at him

[cosmic dagger]

Is the Carmen stuck bug fixed on en?

If you block him in the grass, he just chills there

This is because units in grass cannot be targeted by ranged attacks but blocking carmen reveals the unit

So he will try to use a ranged attack on an untargetable unit, thereby not doing anything at all

[hardy fog]

yeah i baited him with a defender and let texas shred him

my first run was so scuffed that my whole squad died

[hollow forum]

[grand wave]

thanks for telling me abt the ling method

[glass monolith]

My first run against Saint Karen had him miss on manticore 5 times in row and die out of shame and all those bullets Kroos alter put into him

[hardy fog]

is there a way for us to counter these "Skimming Sea Drifters"

[cosmic dagger]

Any form of hard cc

So stun freeze sleep

[hardy fog]

alright

[cosmic dagger]

Popular choices are texas alter krooster mayer erato

[hardy fog]

so its the same thing like the dublinn hover guy?

[cosmic dagger]

This disables their hover and they only have melee attacks

Exactly

[hollow forum]

yeh

[hardy fog]

oge

[random widget]

Hi omelette

[hardy fog]

hemlo

[dry skiff]

@still cipher

Really a scuffed run but it's not that hard

Also being specter being a e2 won't really change much

[still cipher]

thank you, ill give it a try once i have stamina

[dry skiff]

if specter died, try removing lava, since she's not really doing much anyway, for hoshi. so u have someone to replace specter if she died

[proud onyx]

IS-7, anyway unit that can deal with this ranged group when blood money up, guys?

[dry skiff]

use a aoe dps

[proud onyx]

Erm, specificly, which unit?

[dry skiff]

what do u have

texas alter would be great

[proud onyx]

No, texas alter will be killed their instantly

I need someone both tanky and can do AoE

[dry skiff]

ur not using s3?

[proud onyx]

no, half of my team are not even E1 lvl30 yet

[dry skiff]

oof

mlynar?

[proud onyx]

I can deal with the other 2 lines

But not the first

Can he tank the lizzard boss as well?

In the guide they use the 3* girl with chainsaw

Obv it's impossible to find her in the support list

[dry skiff]

oh u can borrow

im guessing the 3* chainsaw girl is popukar
u can borrow my galvial alter, since they are both in the same archetype, she work fine

[proud onyx]

Yeah im fine with borrow, I know im underlevel as heck O_o

I desperately need a vanguard to farm daily.

I need IS-8

[dry skiff]

add me, my id is in my profile
try using my galter as a replacement for popukar

[proud onyx]

So i need to clear this

Lufasu#9158?

[dry skiff]

yup

ahh no

1791

[proud onyx]

added

[dry skiff]

goodluck

[proud onyx]

OK let see if it works

[hardy fog]

how did my monthly run went so well

currently on floor 5

idk if i can beat the boss

[hollow forum]

what do you have and which ending is it

[hardy fog]

wait

[sonic willow]

It's going well until you run into emergency out of control

[hardy fog]

wait till you see tis

oh

out of control

no its not on emergency

[proud onyx]

Yeah I am still underleveled. The lizzard guy just two shot gavial :/

[dry skiff]

oof
did u use her skill?

[hardy fog]

the emergency one is Mechanical Menace

[proud onyx]

Yeah

I think I need to E1 max one tank

And replace Gavial until the blood money over

He survives the first blood money, but not the 2nd one

Currently I have only 1 tank Curio so I need her in the line below to hold

[hardy fog]

this s my current run

the boss stage name is Curse of Cognition

[hollow forum]

thorns and pozy

toy

spinach

Tulip and taxes

[hardy fog]

idk which ending is that

[hollow forum]

ending 1

highmore

you can crush it easily

[hardy fog]

oo

[hollow forum]

take texas s3

[hardy fog]

imma review some runs of it on yt so i know what to do and not fuck up

[hardy fog]

ok

[dusky wolf]

penance

[hollow forum]

the boss goes one loop in the small circle where she spawns, then go to the middle, turns left and loops to go right before going to the box

setup correctly and the boss should be dead before she can even make it half way through the first loop

she also floats, so texas s3 will stun her into the ground

[proud onyx]

If I use skill in the first bloodmoney, then she will die in the 2nd one

I guess I need my healer 60

She can't keep up with the dmg

[hardy fog]

I'll try

[proud onyx]

OK lemme try again

[hollow forum]

you can have pozy on the left ranged tiles facing the middle box

thorns can be right at the blue box facing upwards, and texas handles the rest

all you need to worry about is to setup properly for the other mobs and that highmore doesn't just kill your ops

[dusky wolf]

check this guy

they die instantly with reflect s3

[hollow forum]

im p sure the guy doesn't even have anyone e2 yet

[dusky wolf]

oh dear...

[placid elm]

how does redeployments work with -1 dp cost from pots

[proud onyx]

Well, the problem is I haven't E2 anyone. So penance just died there

[glass monolith]

Second deploy 1.5 times base cost, third and afterwards 2 times base cost

So i got pot 2 Texas which is OP AF and now i can spam her for 18 DP instead 20

[dusky wolf]

e2 a 4 star so you can borrow 6* e2 to make the stage easier

[placid elm]

so dp pot matters then?

-2 dp cost is like how big of a difference?

[glass monolith]

Mostly for scuffed CC/PO/IS strats, outside of them it is just qol

[fluid sail]

it’s a nice qol change for the most part, doesn’t matter outside of very insane content but it’s convenient to have

[glass monolith]

18 seconds redeploy 18 cost, with pot 2 you can spam Texas without going negative on DP even if you wait to recall her before death (which is common in IS3 becasue you deploy her to get nuked )

[copper pilot]

Any tips for katana boss in wonderland is3? He kills anything I place.

[storm current]

Uh

Your only hope is coping with mlynar

Since he is technically low def

For lane holder, you will want to place all the way next to the blue box since gravestone has range

I think its technically possible to stall but that require too much dp

He has 1 life only so if he dies, he dies

[brittle fulcrum]

what can i use to silence enemy as for lappland substitute in anni 16? i dont have her yet

[fluid sail]

jaye s1 has silence but the dp drain is pretty annoying on annihilations

podenco s2 but it has a cooldown so not as great

[storm current]

You cant really substitute lappland for this

Alternative solution is range strat

But its far more expensive and harder

[glass monolith]

I did most reasonable thing you can do without silence - Madness

[proud onyx]

After I refresh the support list like 30 times, the cooldown goes up to 1 min and all I get offered are lvl40 max operators?

What is this???

[brittle fulcrum]

ohh you can block the mold with ambusher

genius

i actually trying to use jaye

[glass monolith]

It is blocked by any operator, that's it's mechanic. Manticore has funny interaction because her invisibility while not attacking makes her DODGE damage tick from it

[sonic willow]

Random support refresh is not reliable

[hardy fog]

i run this?

[sonic willow]

Get friends

[hardy fog]

made it to the boss fight with 10/12 hp and 3 shield

[sonic willow]

Should be possible

[hardy fog]

ok

[sonic willow]

Can gavial s2 kill phase 1 boss

Idk, but phase 2 should be easy with poz

[sly drift]

You can win using this squad. It's similar to my last run

[hollow forum]

Not e2 so i imagine not

[sonic willow]

Sorry what

[proud onyx]

Anyone has ifrit for stage is-8? Can you please let me borrow her?

[hollow forum]

can gavial s2 kill p1 boss

Assuming boss is stunned and on the ground I don't think she can at e1

[sonic willow]

Their gavial is clearly at e2

What the

Nvm

[hollow forum]

[sonic willow]

The red glow always gets me

[hardy fog]

lmao

[hollow forum]

Fair enough lmao

[hardy fog]

alright

gonna try now

[sonic willow]

Thorns + gavial dps might be enough

[hardy fog]

she doesn't stand a chsnce lol

gg

even though it's only monthly squad run

[gentle finch]

hm

I'm assuming you won?

[sharp wadi]

You doesn't need ifrit for that

[brittle fulcrum]

yey did it

using jaye is actually mental draining lol

[main halo]

I'd love to see your team

[jade stag]

What's the trick to getting a good auto clear for IS-10?

[rough anvil]

my trick is owning ling

Since she just solos the stage

[sonic willow]

beat the boss up quick

[jade stag]

Preferably with Texas and Penance for trust farming on the side

Dunno if I need masteries

[vocal topaz]

anyone has thorn to borrow?

[rough anvil]

Fyi you can just have them in squad, you don't need to use them at all to trust farm them

[jade stag]

Yeah but the less people I use the krpe trust they get right?

[rough anvil]

No

Everyone in the squad gets the same amount of trust no matter how many other people are in the squad

[jade stag]

Oh

Good to know

[rough anvil]

The exception is if there's an increased trust gain event going on (like right now)

[dapper meadow]

Left side can be solod by a number of ops (if E2 sufficient level). Mountain is prob the easiest. Then just use Mud/Penance on top right, with Eyja/Ifrit (or arts dps supporting)

[proud onyx]

Sorry for late replies, but at the end, I can't beat that stage even with Ifrit

My team is too underleveled. That's why I need Ifrit. But even having her, the lizzard boss' swarm still overruns me when blood ledge happens

And now the Support Unit System screws me so I can't even clear the farming stage anymore :/

[jade stag]

Hmm good call. Though from what I see masteries and/or res or defense ignore are very necessary for killing the boss fast

[frigid kite]

@jade stag do you have mlynar

Or texalter

Or both

[jade stag]

Texalter. No Mlynar

[sly drift]

Man.. now that I think about it. Ash + Texalt must be one of sickest combo.

Texalt extend the stun to give Ash massive physical damage boost. Texalt do the art.
And the cooldown just about perfect

[jade stag]

I just got my Texalter to rank 7 skills because transmuted salt from the daily thing and no module

[foggy grove]

is there like a damage breakpoint sheet somewhere?

i want to see comparisons and stuff

[gleaming lodge]

@foggy grove

[foggy grove]

yea i just opened it but its in CN

cant read moonrunes, and gtranslate doesnt make sense

[glass monolith]

open in google and make it translate to English

After you stop laughing at google translate turning RES into French Resistance continue

[frigid kite]

[foggy grove]

damn
i need to purchase if i want to use deepl to translate entire page

[frigid kite]

Use google transl

[foggy grove]

it sucks

[glass monolith]

life sucks, do same stuff students do on exams, somehow figure subject out

[foggy grove]

didnt ask

i have to translate word per word to deepl somehow

or just
learn CN

[frigid kite]

Tranalates from CN to Snipe on english, the name of a bird, Agachadiza on spanish lol

[glass monolith]

Google chrome, right click, translate to english, then try to find button which means oeprator

[foggy grove]

exusiai -> angel capaz
im surprised it can even be translated

[frigid kite]

Able angel

Capaz = able

[foggy grove]

its the word exusiai

didnt even know its a real word

[glass monolith]

If you see name looking like operator you look for: You in luck
Otherwise: Click every single one

[slim hollow]

people also say different things in CN to thte OP like surtr is 42 sometimes and cuora is turtle off the top of my head

so if you have something translate to sheep that's referring to eyja

[foggy grove]

roulette time

[dapper meadow]

yeah use a browser addon/extension for Google Translate/something similar. Its not awful. Additionally, you can use custom css (i use Stylus) to permanently save "changes" to the webpage (for you, that is)

[hidden needle]

im following Kyos Anni 4s strat he uses SA instead of that can i use Mylnyr and be just fine?

[glass monolith]

I think yes

[turbid badge]

Yea

its so good

They have Sharp and Stormeye

[glass monolith]

Just be aware than Mlynar won't have 100% of his damage build up if you SP device him, but you can SP device some other operator

[turbid badge]

and its just “Sharp”

Lmao

And tulip

[hidden needle]

i can do Ponze then

[glass monolith]

How much SP is Anni 4 devices? 1 per 3 seconds?

[foggy grove]

you can still battery horsey

even half stacked horse otdmg sa

[hidden needle]

im not there yet but i can tell u once i get there

[foggy grove]

3sp per 4s

[glass monolith]

Mlynar already charges half as fast as SA, and Kyo guide uses 3 SP devices on SA to spam

[hidden needle]

im also running Pt if that changes anything

[foggy grove]

you won't need 3 for mlynar,give some of it to someone else

[vague rock]

I finally did it
Also while doing it I realised what what killed my ops wasn't the boss. Its the blood debt guys

[fierce dragon]

Yeah they're invisible for their initial appearance so they're kinda annoying

[grave tulip]

Trying to do Lappland's missions in the event and None of My Business keeps escaping me. Is there anything I can do to him other than throwing a ton of slows on him?

[fierce dragon]

Binds ig

I just usually kill him before he runs away

[glass monolith]

He is not most tanky enemy, I think I killed him with e1 max Kroos, Melantha and Midnight on accident

[grave tulip]

I've got a team of e1 level 40s

[fierce dragon]

His true damage incendiary field is annoying though

[grave tulip]

I got Gnosis in the banner and was hoping he could do smth but he doesn't inflict cold on NomB

[glass monolith]

Level is just number, we interested in number of damage which we can focus on dog

[grave tulip]

the back alley level is the one kicking my butt right now
I've got Ceobe, Pudding, and Manticore to try and slow him down and it just. doesn't work :')

[glass monolith]

Physical should be better at killing him, he don't have too much defense

[grave tulip]

I wish I could properly stun him

[light flame]

if you're on chrome there's actually an extension to sub the normal names instead of the google translate mess lol: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/viktorlab-dps-fix/goadcmfimcelphmdfgadamddnikafnlh

(well, EN names i guess)

[dapper meadow]

would yall recommend GG or Eyja to a new player

[fluid sail]

gg
both gg and eyja work fine at e1 and have great third skills but I find global range more comfy especially when now Texas exists as an arts aoe helidrop

[charred void]

is this team possible to win IS2 phantom stage

i also have skalter but e1
