I need Gamiya for p2

[gentle finch]

I had a run where I was pretty much set but didn't get the def - relic

[vernal lion]

wait if your Light is 100, will it get more or 100 is just capped?

[gentle finch]

capped

[hollow forum]

100 is the cap

literally me a few moments ago

[vernal lion]

hmm I calculated wrong

welp first lost

[fallen chasm]

dont you have like a spare texalt smh

[vernal lion]

nah she didn't deal enough dmg

even I have Kafka to stall him, still not enough time

[glass monolith]

Should have rolled Tulip as well

[fiery sierra]

is mountain a good replacement for melantha?

[glass monolith]

They are barely comparable
Mountain is one of most famous lane holders in this game with cheap cost, self regen and ability to hit blocked targets fast and hard enough during skill 2

[fiery sierra]

This is my current team and i was hoping to replace someone to fit mountain in

[scarlet ledge]

but melantha is female

so she is better

[fiery sierra]

...

[hollow forum]

in all seriousness, sure you can put mountain in melantha's place

[fiery sierra]

cool, i was rolling the banner with the gaurd just to complete the 10 rolls to get a free 5 star and ended up getting mountain lol.

[vital arrow]

Now you have one of the best vanguard

Congrats

[hollow forum]

vanguard?

[vital arrow]

11DP, he's practically a vanguard

[fiery sierra]

now i need to figure out how to complete the CE-5 and the XP-5

[hollow forum]

true, true

[fiery sierra]

if i change out myrtle and lava with fang and plume would i be able to clear xp-5 with this team? (i don't have them built so im asking)

[vital arrow]

You should get more levels on your medics and vanguards

Ideally you want 2 decently leveled vgs for LS5 because you don't get natural DP from that stage

[fiery sierra]

true but i think siege will cost me too much dp for that and myrtle won't be able to hold the line yet

[vital arrow]

Then replace myrtle with fang

Skill level 4 myrtle is cringe

[glass monolith]

If skill 2 Siege don't hold, fang won't hold for shit

[vital arrow]

That is an E0 50 siege

[fiery sierra]

i mean siege costs too much dp though like if i e2 her

[vital arrow]

14DP is not too much

[fiery sierra]

don't i need to quickly deploy 2 units for LS-5

[vital arrow]

Yeah 2 vanguards

[glass monolith]

Gravel - Holds in place even most dangerous foes

[eager gate]

will it be too out of place to ask why are you even trying to do ls5 without even a fully e1 team

[dusky wolf]

yosh

[vernal lion]

this stage is surely annoying tho

[glass monolith]

Haven't seen it

I wonder how much worse IS4 will be

[vernal lion]

hope it's not Break the Ice mechanism

because nerf aspd is bad

[turbid badge]

smh with my vanguard mods my vgs cheaper than mountain

[scarlet ledge]

@vernal lion fuck those cars

you don't have op with silence effect? that's gonna cringe to do this easily

[fair forum]

So what should do

[storm current]

its just really annoying

do you have lappland btw

[fair forum]

For some reason no

[storm current]

the other option is blocking the spread

something like this

just focus on mid lane

the top and bottom are versatile

you can use skalter s2 here to protect your main units

[fair forum]

What above the bottom that always killed me

[storm current]

and a sniper or any dps on top left to nuke the spewer

eh

have you tried using s2 skalter

she buff defense to make your units tankier

[fair forum]

Oh right

[storm current]

you can use irene s1 for top afaik

actually

idk if thats enough to kill predator

but levitate disable their dodge ye

[fair forum]

Hm I'll try

[dim yoke]

Also s1 is preferred on myrtle

[fair forum]

Ok

[sweet marlin]

can you unlock relics with this difficulty?

[celest ocean]

Any basic advise for SSS? Just unlocked it and would know some Basic comps that would get me a Bit further (to Like Stage 6 or Higher)

[vernal lion]

nope

[vernal lion]

wait you just unlocked it, does that mean you just finished 1-5 or smth ???

[sweet marlin]

and what about the icon when you complete one ending with a squad?

[celest ocean]

I Just Made my First module

[vernal lion]

each of ending that you have completed it

[sweet marlin]

i mean, can you get them with the easy difficulty?

[storm current]

yes

but you dont unlock relic that are like

"win with squad" condition

[sweet marlin]

is this true for is2 too?

[storm current]

yes

you get the marks, not the unlock

[sweet marlin]

good to know. i did try to get all marks in is2

i could have done it on easy

what leak

[fair forum]

The triangle looking thing

Bruh I never made it this far when I saw those blue pulsating jellyfish

[burnt hemlock]

So I am on Phantom again

Any chances?

8hp left

[sweet marlin]

yes i think

horn and kroos could deal with the dancers. penance hold the line. and maybe texas nearl and shamare doll can burst phantom

or use horn for phantom too

[burnt hemlock]

I am afraid Penance will be in instant stunlock from drunk people with sticks

Honeyberry can't heal her elemental damage

[sweet marlin]

place courier behind maybe

[burnt hemlock]

Thank you gonna try it.

[limpid siren]

you'll want nearl on s3

bait phantom's jump so you can actually block him

i guess s2 could work fine though

[storm current]

penance top lane

to charge s3 from defender lieutenant

oh wait ye

penance should be kill him

as long as she isnt stunned or him blinking

[sly drift]

Idk how ppl got the field full of the nethersea while in my first and only run I have 100% clean field with zero nethersea appeared even though I didn't do anything special or try to prevent it

[storm current]

eh no lappland

[sly drift]

I guess it got so lucky

[storm current]

thats why

[sweet marlin]

bait vigil gaming?

[glass monolith]

I wouldn't pick him even if it was increasing my hope

Last time i did i somehow died before even deploying him.... Oh right i went into chest map with funny relic

[glass monolith]

All they need is 1 more body to choke it

There is enough roombas to clear top spawn

[sly drift]

Why do you have weedy in spawn facing upward. Do you want to slap enemy out of the screen?

[burnt hemlock]

I lost. Without Penance on mid I would lost it too. Maby Texas helped at this situation. But the main reason is that I retreated Horn too late so Phantom stayed alive and broke bottom lane roadblock.

[sweet marlin]

phantom is always a pain

[glass monolith]

Creep spreaders don't spawn creep inside:
Blue/Red box
Ladder
Active copium tile

So yes, it is exactly why i have Weedy there

Sadly i didn't account than S2 would do job better

[burnt hemlock]

E2ing Texas and waiting for another opportunity... NTR pretty good at first half and middle of the run. Then you need a tank or a guard behind her.

[storm current]

cant you just put nearl on penance slot and penance top

since nearl is healable from elementaldmg

she can tank the enemies

[burnt hemlock]

Yeah, that would much much better

[sweet marlin]

horn s3 could hurt phantom a bit too on his way

[sly drift]

I always pick Pozy whenever I want to fight phantom. It's always work even with minimum buff.

[sweet marlin]

i always struggle with phantom too. can't seem to find a consistent strategy to kill him. my phantom runs rellies too much on relics

i pick pozy for bear

[sly drift]

Put Pozy s3 with modul facing upward on Honey tile.

It's 100% work lol

[sweet marlin]

oh right module disables dodges or something similar right

[sly drift]

Yea..

You only have to get phantom at around 80% hp and let pozy do the rest

[sweet marlin]

i want to try ethan

[sly drift]

Why ethan

[sweet marlin]

binds should work on phantom

[sly drift]

Phantom deal massive aoe damage tho. Not sure if that's good strat

[dusky wolf]

man didnt know that aura dmg relic also works on ice debuff on knight now my therapist is constantly on ice

[burnt hemlock]

I don't have Pozy so I need to borrow her. And it's pretty difficult to get to the end without nice ground unit in the middle of the run

[sweet marlin]

pozy is a great starter

i also borrow pozy

[sly drift]

The first and second floor are basically gambling at the first place. If you are not sure, just start over

[burnt hemlock]

Maby I'm that unlucky. All of 6 runs I made with her were ruined by poison haze boss.

I am on early - middle game phase now so I need 9 hope from the start to recruit both Pozy and Honeyberry which I don't have too.

[sly drift]

Pozy for phantom
Schwarz, pozy or mlynar for bear
Texalt, myrtle, Bagpipe for Mouthpiece
Surtr, 2 aoe healer for Playwright

[elder flume]

@neat skiff enforcer s2 when youre available thanks

[sweet marlin]

you don't really need an elemental healer most of the time

[sly drift]

Haven't you unlock the mode where you can instantly unlock E2 at first recruit?

[burnt hemlock]

No. It's starting conditions?

[sly drift]

Yea.. whenever you recruit one of the two class. It instantly at E2.

[burnt hemlock]

Or it's "As your heart desires"?

[neat skiff]

Swapped.

[sly drift]

You have to complete the game (beat phantom) with 5 ops on this certain class first

Sorry for my English lol.
It's not my first language

[elder flume]

just have to do tests for
lumen chalter horn toddifons aurora cantabile for ammo type
dorothy blitz sussuro for unknown hypothesis and thats prob all the tests im doing for a while until sexas suicide bug

[eager gate]

Watchu testin?

[elder flume]

infinite durations

one of the examples

[glass monolith]

This is what PO0 preparation makes with a man

[elder flume]

no one went indepth with infinite durations even when scene s1 is proven to not be infinite so why not test others

Im guessing enforcer s2 works the same as feater s2

[glass monolith]

Call us when you find way to kill PO0 robots faster using that

Are they still camo

[crystal hound]

Gravel and Shaw

That's all 4 stars that I have

[sly drift]

scavenger/Fang, vigna, lappland, Nearl, jessica, Fiammeta, Amiya,Silence, perfumer, Angelina, Matterhorn,

@crystal hound I think you will fine go with this temporarily

[crystal hound]

Alright, thanks

[sly drift]

Don't forget to deploy the vanguard first. Some new player usually don't read the tutorial

[glass monolith]

(Deploys Vanguard in face of caster)

[worthy fern]

Broo this dog wont diee

[foggy grove]

which dog

[cosmic dagger]

Either ch11 or is3

[sonic willow]

@crystal sentinel this is way easier clear for anni3, pretty much afk with no retreating around

[worthy fern]

Is10

[tidal sedge]

U srsly call it a dog? It is Lupo and a wolf.

[cosmic dagger]

Wolves are basically dogs, I guess it's fine

[foggy grove]

[tidal sedge]

[crystal sentinel]

no thorns, i wanna do it without a support unit

[sonic willow]

mmm

[latent anvil]

Blaze c8 face up maybe

[crystal sentinel]

i redid the run, stopped at 396

[sonic willow]

were you using texas

[crystal sentinel]

ahhh...

fuck man i think i should've added normal texas to my team, that way i would've had 1 extra dp for texalter

[sonic willow]

1 extra dp won't matter much. what you should do is run 2/3 vanguards at the start

[foggy grove]

just stock up dp beforehand

[cerulean hazel]

I pulled pellas, is she worth raising? Does anyone here have her, and does she fill a niche or is she just generally fun to use?

[sonic willow]

so you can stack up enough DP for texas spam later into the map

[foggy grove]

don't retreat your vg too early

[crystal sentinel]

wait doesn't dp mean the amount of ops you can place on map

[latent anvil]

Pallas is good, just nothing too special. She uses s1 over anything, so its kinda like having a ranged mountain that does less dmg

[sonic willow]

dp is the currency you use to deploy units (10/20/30 dp)

[crystal sentinel]

well fuck me

[sonic willow]

also why I suggest to remove ifrit

[crystal sentinel]

she deals so much dmg tho

[sonic willow]

so you have deploy limit for spamming texas

[crystal sentinel]

idk if my snipers can kill the drones on time if not for her

[sonic willow]

chetto and platinum are good

[cerulean hazel]

Oh that's a bit of a sad thing to hear. It's rare to see a 6 star where their skill 3 or 2 isn't mentioned as useful.

[sonic willow]

worst case scenario, you can use texas to catch the drones

[crystal sentinel]

yeah aight i'mma redo, my vanguards do just fine, i get like 300 dp by the time the crushers come out

[latent anvil]

The funny thing about Pallas s3 is that the only person she really wants to buff is herself, so people instead use s1 as main skill (it's not weak, just nothing crazy)

[cerulean hazel]

Hope they introduce more useful minoans then. It's fun to have synergies between characters and to hear that she's kinda just a generic unit feels bad.

[glass monolith]

Pallas S3 the Eunectes S2

Too bad that combo is not really useable because EVERYTHING IS STUN IMMUNE OR FLYING NOW

[crystal sentinel]

if only rosmontis could attack air units that would free up two slots with her s3

[glass monolith]

Step 1. Deploy Mumu
Step 2. the Ros
Step 3. Your Ros hitting air

[latent anvil]

real

Does ros even have good stats tho

300 less atk than rosa

But .3 less attack interval...

[tidal sedge]

Is this doable without aspd relics?

[trim void]

yes

[crystal sentinel]

@sonic willow i did it

texalter is kinda crazy

[sonic willow]

nicee

texas be op af

[glass monolith]

I just inhaled lethal dose of copium and facetanked him as soon as he destroyed first Rubble (Phase 2 phases them)

God praise +hp relics so my e1 Heavyrain because screw game had 6k hp

[sweet marlin]

does anyone ever use capatult or adnachiel in is2/3? i guess the only reason to pick them is if you got sniper recruit, already have kroos and no hope/don't want to waste hope. reserve sniper, rangers and jk are also an option tho

[limpid siren]

they're not worth investing into for that purpose

[karmic blade]

I just brought ethan from lv1 to mod3, now I have two CC! (the other one is orchid)

lack of slows finally bit me in the ass in SSS and IS3.

[lethal dragon]

It been that way for all 1.5 years i embrace bullshitness of this game

Btw did ending 3 and missed special unlock condition because 3500 HP Archetto decided than living is gay

Like srly how the fuck do i lose +95% HP operator on d4

[neat skiff]

So the devs goof’d.

[glass monolith]

[cursive wedge]

should be ex 12 hrs and s stage 18 hrs

[glass monolith]

Unless i am being assaulted by hard insomnia i won't care of either of those 2 times

Wait. Vigil can't use S2 until wolf crit enemy?

Fuck he is even worse than i think

[neat skiff]

He also can't use S1 if the wolf is not deployed.

But yeah, if the wolf has something to constantly attack it's the best DP generation ability in the whole game. If the wolf can't attack however...

[blissful wren]

Is it supposed to open todays

[blissful wren]

?

[neat skiff]

In 6 hours.

[blissful wren]

Lame

[glass monolith]

Yeah, I don't know why they have the stupid delay.

[glass monolith]

EX and S always has 6 hour shift compared to normal stages

Well at least in AK you don't really mind stupid delay because event last 7 days

Scarier goes top

Almost nothing goes bottom

Casters either kill you (where you lose anyway) and go bottom, or you kill them

[glass monolith]

Most of shit goes top. But honestly Hibi alter will kill almost all normal mobs on her own

[cosmic dagger]

And there's like 3 Crocs that go bottom

[glass monolith]

Also which curse on Kal?

My phone thinks I'm referring to the shoes when I type crocs

All three skills look good, but are they actually? Lol

[formal moss]

Hopefully The Boss doesn't one shot monst3r I think baiting the shots with lumen is best

Unsure tho

[glass monolith]

Based on difficulty, his bullet should 2-3 tap monst3r

[formal moss]

Hmmmm Wait Question, how does his Targeting work?

Ik the grass should Make it less likely but Every1 got One shot in this run while monst3r didn't

[glass monolith]

Touching grass should hide you from him completely... As long as you killed 2 dudes which reveal

[formal moss]

Ooo so thats why

[glass monolith]

Oh... Right... How the fuck do you kill stealth shits?

I just Suffer Imma Stop the rund tonight Maybe I'll try again in the morning, NG cages might be my get out of jail free card in this fight

is andrenna actually worth bringing for an abyssal team? i have them all full module and kitted out but im not sure how much trading a slot for a attack speed buff is

Trying to clear that SSS without failing. Any general tips (placement combo, malus choices...) to finish that level?

The team

[cursive wedge]

i got her s2 and 3 to m3

[fresh copper]

There are literally only 5

So yes

[dense stone]

i didn't mean an exclusive abyssal team

i just meant a team that had the other four on it

[fresh copper]

Oh

[dense stone]

like, is her buff worth not replacing her with pozy?

[fresh copper]

You can probably survive without her then

[lyric grail]

So like, what does the wolf boss even do? I never really figured that out

May

Jessica is pure ass

I’ve been wanting platinum for a long time who would replace kroos but.. not here yet

In tangent to that, is Provence usable, more than May?

[high bridge]

Bros wat do? Is there a general strat for the giga magma slug boi

[light flame]

Provence is a different archetype than May, but she's also not very useful

[high bridge]

Would there be a preference to either if I was replacing kroos?

[craggy turret]

IS-EX-8? My main problem is the crossbow men. Nobody I got can really tank them ( unless I have like 2 healers on them), and surtr is handling the boss. Here are all my built/semi built ops (I literally just got Texalt to E2 so no masteries on her yet)

[rose patrol]

is the wolf boss deals physical or arts?

[hollow forum]

you can try borrowing a skalter w lumen

hoshi and mlynar should be able to tank him as long as he doesn't target one of them for too long

[craggy turret]

Physical I believe

[hollow forum]

worst case scenario you can throw texas at him w s3 to stun and stall

[craggy turret]

Mountain bottom lane?

[hollow forum]

which bottom lane

you can group your units up on the left side and as long as they kill fast enough nothing should leak

[craggy turret]

The one with all the cars

[rose patrol]

ok i did it

[hollow forum]

you can let them go up to the middle and kill them there

because that's where you'll be setting up anyway

[craggy turret]

Mk then I'll give it a go

[turbid badge]

Oh ex stages

crap

[craggy turret]

This should work yea?

[gentle finch]

xf

I'm still tryna clear PR-D-1

[hollow forum]

yeah, that'll do it

[solid dew]

are the EX stages get bad at any point? im about to start them, should be fine tho

[hollow forum]

not really

you might run into issues with the silencer croc

but that's it

[solid dew]

figured, the event so far has been easy as

[solid dew]

i have methods of dealing with them

time to nuke them out of existence

[hollow forum]

then you're chilling

even the boss at ex-8 did fuckall

[cursive mango]

Cleared the first ex stage and it was hard for me

[hollow forum]

[solid dew]

i can stall him with spalter and gladiia

very balanced modules 10/10

[hollow forum]

you're pretty new though, so yeah it'll be hard for you

[craggy turret]

Yup got it, thank you

[hollow forum]

same thing goes for ex, just watch out for the croc and you'll be perfectly fine

[hollow forum]

I blocked him with kal actually, mon3tr didn't even die

[craggy turret]

Yea my main problem all throughout has been the crocs, nthn really tanks them and that invis has fked me over a couple times

[hollow forum]

you have lumen and ptilopsis, and the borrowed skalter is definitely enough to keep your tanks alive

[solid dew]

having skalter increase their damage, def and healing aswell is just chilling
i dont have any other AH built but they are already strong af lol

[hollow forum]

hell, I cleared mine with only ptilo and skalter

[hollow forum]

ye

[rose patrol]

u can stall the boss with blue woman but needs texas alter to stun him at bay

with skalter s2

[gentle finch]

ok time to do ex stages on my main

[turbid badge]

same

lol

[hollow forum]

should be p easy for both of yall

[gentle finch]

i made an alt today

[hollow forum]

I went in full blind and still did everything first try

[gentle finch]

zamn

event easy then

I'm gonna do abyssals only

haven't done that in a while

[clear ermine]

any tips on 10-11 AE

;-;

[gentle finch]

which stage is that

send image

[clear ermine]

sec

[gentle finch]

should've asked for ur squad one time

[turbid badge]

lol

oh that stages is pretty easy with texas now

[gentle finch]

alright

[gentle finch]

yeah

the gist is to lanehold bottom left and top lane

you can get away with something weak on top lane, just drop Texas on it every now and then

for bottom lane you gonna want to have a robust setup

[turbid badge]

u can also go gavial s3

😂

[gentle finch]

mhm

[clear ermine]

Just mod 3 texalter, ill try again ig

[hollow forum]

I don't think mod 3 will make that much of a difference if im being honest with you

[clear ermine]

idkk

[turbid badge]

lmao wheres is-st-4

[turbid badge]

mod 1 gives her +10% atk

if u position her correctly

mod 2 ~> 3 is 3% dps increase

iirc

[gentle finch]

damn these assassin pretty tanky

specter s2 can't one cycle them

[hollow forum]

it's like, all the way at the top part of the map

[turbid badge]

smh s3

[thorny summit]

Can I complete IS-8 with my current characters without borrowing anyone? I wanna autoplay it

[hollow forum]

should be perfectly doable

there's plenty of ling hw out there you can look at and improvise

[sonic willow]

ling can probably solo

[thorny summit]

even if she's just module level 2 ?

[sonic willow]

I mean, does it matter

you have 11 other units to make it up, if there is even a difference

[turbid badge]

lmao wheree

oh

[hollow forum]

[sonic willow]

you realize there is a dropdown list

for either story nodes or battle nodes

so you don't have to look for it on the map

[keen night]

Guys

Uhm

How do u clear 3-8

[astral oyster]

show roster

[storm current]

@keen night borrow la pluma

[astral oyster]

that was easy sorta like a cheat sheet

[keen night]

La pluma?

I need to know where to place what and when tho

[storm current]

yes

[keen night]

Yea help pls

Coz even mudrock carry strategy fauled

Failed

[storm current]

you dont need to use exact units afaik

i use lancet in this because noir corne isnt very tanky

if you have any better defender it work

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/586588958885150721/1080784551158235176/image.png?width=1219&height=655

[keen night]

@storm current this my current squad

I think its a skill issue that im failing tbh

[storm current]

im not sure if e0 bp is enough to clear drone

but just borrow pluma and use that placement to kill boss

[keen night]

I have kroos tho

[storm current]

then deploy any extra dps units for drone

you need 2 markman for drone

[keen night]

Ae

Ok ill give it a try rn

[swift sedge]

For me, I use mudrock, hoshiguma, amiya, steward, project red, exu, kroos, perfumer , ptilopsis, siege and fang for early game then replace them when dp is sufficient

Mudrock is support unit

[storm current]

use for what

[mossy chasm]

Any advice for IS-EX-7?

I just get overwhelmed by enemies towards the end and that priest guy plus the mask guys just destroy me

[keen night]

@swift sedge died

@storm current died

[foggy grove]

oh ex is out,time to do it

[keen night]

My snipers god killed

Then drones spawned in

😭

[storm current]

screen shot your placement

else

[keen night]

Same

[keen night]

This

[storm current]

skullshatterer should target your medics, not snipers

[keen night]

But i changed def to hoshiguma

[storm current]

have you placed your medics

[keen night]

Yea

[storm current]

the center medic

[keen night]

Replaced lancet 2 with shing

[keen night]

HUH

[storm current]

who did skullshatterer shoot

[keen night]

Shining

So basically i need a decoy

[storm current]

you dont replace lancet with shining

you replace myrrh with shining

you dont need lancet either

[storm current]

if you have better defender

also meh

you are adding more unnecessary units @swift sedge

[swift sedge]

My other units are shit

[craggy turret]

Penance on the bottom lane, hoshi on the upper lane. Amiya bottom, as far back as you can, facing backwards, shining behind penance. Lunacub top, on the AA tile

[storm current]

and how are you supposed to help if he dont have those units

[swift sedge]

Hard to three star

[keen night]

La pluma was working

[swift sedge]

Any defender is better

[turbid badge]

la Pluma br

[keen night]

Imma use Warfarin as my decoy

[storm current]

@keen night ok try again
but skip lancet since you have hoshiguma instead of noir corne
and replace myrrh with shining

e1 1 beagle

[craggy turret]

Bp behind Luna, have warf behind both of them

[storm current]

doesnt need medic here

after skullshatterer die

just place more range units for drone

[keen night]

Why cant my shining out heal tho

Thats the question

[storm current]

outheal what

[craggy turret]

Is skullshatterer silencable? I think he's freezable

[keen night]

Skullshattered

[swift sedge]

Cant answer that

[keen night]

6 star but so weak

[storm current]

this myrrh is e0 lv1

[keen night]

6* supposed carry game

Not make it harder

[storm current]

but nah

[craggy turret]

Use vigil then

[swift sedge]

Welp

[storm current]

shining wont out heal

[keen night]

Thou shalt try again

[swift sedge]

Outdps

[craggy turret]

Could gnosis S1 help?

[storm current]

but you should deploy a defender here last to take aggro of SS

if you do it right

the boss only attack the middle medic, then switch to the top defender

[keen night]

When should i place middle medic

Gimme like a estimate

So im prepared

[storm current]

as soon as your other units are deployed

[swift sedge]

Damn, putting my e1 lvl 1 cuora there might help to three star the operation

[storm current]

no timing here

just

deploy the units in that order as soon as possible

but ignore lancet this time since you have hoshi

[copper vale]

how on earth are you supposed to do ex-8 if you don't have a bunch of turbowhale units lmao

for is

[keen night]

I have warfarin tho

[storm current]

no

[keen night]

I have a double healer composition

[storm current]

deploying warfarin meant

you are late

[copper vale]

i've been trying with my e2 40-60 stuff and shit just keeps getting bodied

[storm current]

and mess up deploy order

thus skull shatterer shoot your medic

so deploy her after skullshatter die

which the boss should die from pluma and kroos here

[keen night]

Ok

So kroos carry?

[storm current]

you can max level kroos here if you want

[keen night]

My beloved kokodayo

[storm current]

since she does most of the dmg for the next few chapters

[pulsar nebula]

so i'm deciding to e2 one of my fella's, and i'm torn between thorns, penance and gladiia. currently suffering a skill issue and can't get through is-8 on il siracusano.

any suggestions?

[keen night]

NEXT FEW!?!?

[storm current]

you will continue using kroos for a long while

[craggy turret]

Thorns, tho this also depends on what you already have

[fluid sail]

even once you have stronger options you’ll still use kroos in is2/3

[pulsar nebula]

well currently my two e2's are texas alter and lappy.

[keen night]

I want pink koyori

😭😭😭

Aka Pozyemka

The russian koyori

[craggy turret]

Then I'd say thorns > penance > gladiia

[pulsar nebula]

i see, i see. thank you!

[craggy turret]

You can borrow her from support

[keen night]

Idc if shes trash

I want her

[craggy turret]

Ye no prob

[keen night]

[craggy turret]

Pozy...trash...best joke I've heard today tbh

[keen night]

My friend said she was bad

He said dont pull

Just get texalter and save

😭

[fluid sail]

you can’t pull for pozy rn

but they lied about pozy being bad

[foggy grove]

your friend is wild

[keen night]

Oh

[storm current]

uh

[keen night]

So she good?

[hollow forum]

your friend is rly spreading misinfo out here lmao

[foggy grove]

pozy is really good

[hollow forum]

yes

[storm current]

pozyomka is one of the best 6* we have in game

[hollow forum]

she's meta af

[keen night]

:00

[storm current]

like

[craggy turret]

Best sniper when it comes to DPS I think

[storm current]

one of, if not the best ST dps

[latent anvil]

her base skill is so op

[hollow forum]

just that you can't rly get her rn because she isn't on rateup anywhere

[craggy turret]

Her everything is so op

[keen night]

Another one i wanted was uhh

The doggo

The pink coloured doggo

He oso said she wasnt very good

[storm current]

uh ye

[latent anvil]

goldenglow so good

[storm current]

[keen night]

Said to save and pull for suzuran

[storm current]

she is a cat

[fluid sail]

if you mean goldenglow she’s a cat

[storm current]

uh

[craggy turret]

Rate up is a lie, no pozy on gavalt banner, got Pallas instead. Got pozy from the Dorothy banner (didn't get Dorothy btw)

[storm current]

suzuran is more QOL

she isnt exactly carry

[keen night]

Yea her

I want pink korone

[fluid sail]

@keen night if you want to add me I have both pozy and gg as permanent support units

[storm current]

suzuran is a support role
goldenglow and pozy are main dps role

i think your friend is a little too bias

[hollow forum]

she's uh, a cat, a scottish cat

[keen night]

Owh

Last unit i want is Cantabile

Is she any good?

Ill never trust my friend anymore

[storm current]

she is one of the best 5* in the game

[craggy turret]

Very, I think ins is better tho

[keen night]

Hes getting a slap from me on monday

[storm current]

[fluid sail]

canta is great

[storm current]

i think your friend may be a little too biased

[keen night]

Oki

[storm current]

just ask what 6* he raised

[fluid sail]

i disagree with your friend just a little bit those r my 3 support units

[keen night]

He was telling me about how great some unit called spectre was

😭

[fluid sail]

specter is good yeah

[storm current]

which specter

[keen night]

I think he said something about alter?

[hollow forum]

well he's not wrong about that at least

[storm current]

spec alt is no where as good as pozy tho

[craggy turret]

Spectre alt is better than cantab, gg and pozy? Man your friend is on smth

[storm current]

unless

[fluid sail]

sure is an opinion

[storm current]

you friend failed the gavialt banner

lost to pozy

[fluid sail]

maybe they’re salty

[storm current]

so he hate pozy and canatabile

[hollow forum]

either that, or he's a hardcore AH simp or smth

[craggy turret]

Ah squad but that's the only case where spectalt is better

[keen night]

Ae

Imma try clearing level now

Brb

💫

@storm current didnt work

He somehow still targetted my snipers

😭

[storm current]

Did you deploy shining in middle tile last

[keen night]

Tea

Yea

Pluma

Then hoshi

Then kroos

The bp

Then shining

[latent anvil]

[storm current]

Clearly you havent deployed a defender

[keen night]

Huh

Hoshiguma

[storm current]

Not that defender

[keen night]

Coz he killed off both my sniper

😭

And the drones were coming in

😭😭😭

[storm current]

.

In the strats

I used e0 lv1 cuora

So anything work

[keen night]

Okey

@storm current will a p6 e0 beagle work,

?

😭

[storm current]

Try it

E0 30 noir corne work

So e0 beagle should be tankier

[keen night]

Ok

Sorta works

But kroos wasnt killing fast enuff

So one drone got through

🤡🤡🤡

[storm current]

Try max level kroos

[keen night]

Kroos was not carrying

[keen night]

Ran outta LmD

[storm current]

What snipers are you using

[keen night]

BP+ Kroosie

[storm current]

Was drone leak after or before SS die

[somber falcon]

Make your snipers both facing left
Should give them more time to deal with drones

[storm current]

And did SS die

[keen night]

Almost

[keen night]

Ded

[storm current]

Was drone leak before or after SS die

After SS die, you can deploy more range ops to deal with drones

[keen night]

When he boutta die

[storm current]

@somber falcon i mean he only has e0 bp

And uh

E0 lunacub

So facing left mean bp has to deal with drone alone

Im not sure if shes enugh

[somber falcon]

E0 max?

[little yacht]

Anyway to make is8 work with this team?

Can also level gitano and follow kyostinv’s guide but that’s last resort

[storm current]

Hmm

Do you want a clear or a farming set up

The easiest way for you right n9w

Is e2 texas

[little yacht]

Farming

[storm current]

Using the materials in shop

And use her s3 to trivialize the stage

[keen night]

I upgraded

My kroos to 49

😭

Ran outta lmf

Lmd

😭

[storm current]

If its too hard

Go do event instead

[keen night]

K imma do it once mode

More

[storm current]

And buy materials from shop

[keen night]

Leaked drones

[little yacht]

im gonna need to farm 8 dual chips and 2 glue for that though...

[keen night]

😭

Skull shat did not die

[storm current]

@little yacht right now you can get specialist e2 chip in IS2

If you are willing to grind

Specifically, monthly squad reward

But its only 4 chips so you would still need more

[little yacht]

I'm at 2-8 in the story only ahhh

[storm current]

Eh

[keen night]

Why does the difficulty in this game scale so much

😭

[storm current]

If you want overall tips for IS-8

[cursive wedge]

it doesnt rly

[storm current]

Deploy yours units next to blue box

Since the hitman take awhile to reach to your units

By the time he reach your units, payback time ended so hes much weaker

[somber falcon]

Oh
Your drone leak is probably bcs lunacub isn't an aa

[little yacht]

I'm following kyo's guide, but the dps is not enough

[keen night]

Wait @storm current will it work if i changed beagle to SA?

[little yacht]

I should probably just get gitano to e1

[storm current]

Try it

SA is tankier than beagle there

[keen night]

But dp not enuff

[icy pollen]

are there any ops that are like mountain but 5 star? to defend against early pressure without much dp

[storm current]

In my run i use kroos + ranger

[keen night]

I think

[storm current]

Uh no @icy pollen

You cant exactly replace mountain with 5* here

Otherwise

You can use the good old pioneer

[icy pollen]

texas e2 cant defend against dogs💀

[storm current]

No one really compete with mountain even if you include 6*

As if 5* stand a chance

[somber falcon]

Raise zima instead if you want an actually competent 5* pioneer

[cursive wedge]

vigil

[storm current]

Like

If 6* cant compete

You dont really expect 5* to

[icy pollen]

e2 or nah? she kinda feels bad to use with her sp cost

[dapper meadow]

only time i feel like E2 Zima comes in handy is max risk sweaty CC

[icy pollen]

not asking for someone as strong dps-wise as him but can do the job defending better than pioneers

[storm current]

Uh

The closest thing

Is dollkeeper and puller

Since they have low dp cost

[scarlet ledge]

@storm current done ex?

[storm current]

No

Too lazy

Not touched in JP too

[scarlet ledge]

i been slacking around

my jp is on ex 5

[storm current]

Doing EX for 5* alt would be wild

But i got tagless specter yesterday for the alt

[scarlet ledge]

oh nice

[storm current]

Quite lucky

[scarlet ledge]

i got tagless provence on jp

[storm current]

I got tagless feater and specter so far

And 4 top ops already

[scarlet ledge]

pog

[storm current]

On 5* alt

[somber falcon]

She can last longer than texas at the very least

[icy pollen]

does cliffheart work?

[scarlet ledge]

i alrrady lovng red hitman

[latent anvil]

[storm current]

So they are purely for collrction

[scarlet ledge]

💀

[storm current]

@icy pollen no

[scarlet ledge]

when blood debt filled

[storm current]

But specifically

[scarlet ledge]

those fucker half my liskarm hp

💀

[storm current]

Cliff just has plenty of dmg

But yoy should specify what you are doing

[keen night]

@storm current it worked

[storm current]

Are you running 5* only team

[keen night]

SA was better option

[scarlet ledge]

@storm current look at this team

[storm current]

I dont have chips

But cant switch farm

[scarlet ledge]

oof

this is dumb as shit @storm current

[icy pollen]

no, my texas just struggles and i typically have to place texalt to help early on in stages

[keen night]

One Omertosa please

I got 2 volsiniis to trade

😭

[tidal sedge]

Ex 6 is very funky, how countwru

[tidal sedge]

I just used a random self sustain unit to kill one side of casters, la pluma was what I used and ig helped summon way less agent 47s

[hollow flume]

I'm struggling a lot and idk how to clear it

[scarlet ledge]

u can stall phase 1

and prep for phase 2

[hollow flume]

The asset liquidation activated from zaaro tho

[tidal sedge]

Is ex6 is being a bit funky, what do

Main squad

[tawny solar]

help

I keep failing

[tawny solar]

Just do the funny with texas

[storm current]

Btw

[frigid kite]

Borrowing?

[storm current]

Phantom immuned to stun

[turbid badge]

angelina s3 eats these mobs

lol

[turbid badge]

this must be passenger heaven

[frigid kite]

Comfy

[icy pollen]

havent played ex stages yet, cant wait to use mlynar here

[rose seal]

Ranged attackers top right having a field day

[rose seal]

Or Texas s3

[high bridge]

anything that can be done? I dont think so but just asking if anyone knows how to kill this dude with a fresh account

[fluid sail]

borrow a jaye with s2, he can solo the boss

[viral trout]

i need some general IS2/IS3 tips because im generally just not great at is

[fluid sail]

you learn IS by trying stuff and learning the stages/relics over time

what’s your starting team

[viral trout]

eh rn im using podenco cuora texalter

i just do the random one

[wise matrix]

am stuck on ex-8 chall :(

[blissful wren]

EX-6 is hard, the freaking silent cleaners

[snow bronze]

avoid using texalter to start

its typically not great

i would highly recommend pozy/horn/gavialter start over texalter

[glass monolith]

Phase 2 - Can be stunned.
5 seconds later

Now all I need is to come up with plan to deal with +20% ATK CM stealth shits

[tidal sedge]

So uh, how do I deal ex 6?

which borrow is good to completely nullify those cleaners

For ex 6, how to deal with cleaners and just the stage in general, I cannot ifrit it unfortunately

[latent anvil]

as a rarity abuser i used surtr and ntrk
