strategy

[turbid badge]

cant believe u!

[gentle finch]

i mean

nightingale masteries are quite unnecessary

[turbid badge]

i guess she can do her job fine at sl7

[storm current]

Well

Having mastery is so much more comfortable for h8-4

Its the difference of using 4 units to tank and using 5 units to tank

[gentle finch]

🤷

[scarlet ledge]

so pro

[gentle finch]

me personally i would rather add one extra op vs M3 my nightingale for one stage

but if done beforehand would be neat to whoever would be clearing H8-4

[scarlet ledge]

h8-4 cringe is nowadays

u have lots of ops to tank

water will do my h8-4

[gentle finch]

yes

[scarlet ledge]

so pro

[turbid badge]

so pro

[latent anvil]

pro

[steep tartan]

pro

[turbid badge]

???

why did this enemy leave and than come back

[latent anvil]

took a walk

[pale orchid]

Bcs he’s a chad

He don’t go with the crowd

[storm current]

He is not stupid enough to go to the ifrit lane

[foggy grove]

he doesn't like bbq

[hushed jungle]

theres no lane when jaywalking

[misty egret]

Do limited operators appear in distinctions shop ?
Like chalter , skadi , ling etc

[proud drift]

Ifrit lane?

Weird way to spell fia lane

[proud drift]

No

[misty egret]

Oof

Lunacub is better than firewatch ?

[hollow forum]

the opposite, actually

[proud drift]

Different niche uses

[thorny summit]

Oh em che

[proud drift]

Can warfarin buff scene’s buggy?

[foggy grove]

she can buff ling's pet

i assume the same

[proud drift]

[thorny summit]

I finished it and I realized u didn't need to complete the hard HG levels to reach episode 7 and I realized I missed doing the 6-18 one and now I'm pissed off

@balmy halo I completed but two monsters still leaked but ty for the help

[proud drift]

I’ll have to cope that scene is the way for me to deal with EX cleaners

Cause holy fuck they are way too strong for absolutely no reason at all

[foggy grove]

cleaner is the real boss

[storm current]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/586588958885150721/1115112281416663190/ezgif.com-crop_1.gif?width=328&height=248

[turbid badge]

yes for sure lol

she can also buff ros tactical gear

[thorny summit]

2bo is the operator on the bottom

[storm current]

2bo?

ah who?

[thorny summit]

Who*

Oops

[proud drift]

Dude unironically

It’s so stupid

I can manhandle signore lupo no problem

Meanwhile cleaner fucking twoshots anything that breathes

[storm current]

uh pozy vs schwarz

[proud drift]

And takes no damage

“Haha just don’t let bar go full”

fucking give me ways to deplete the bar then

And we both know civilians are a scam because you need 7+ civilians for there to be any kind of reasonable way of it going down mid-waves

[foggy grove]

cleaner casually wipe out my entire line once

[turbid badge]

lol

[foggy grove]

[turbid badge]

i hate that theyre invis

loll

[proud drift]

Ye that’s why I’m trying to cook up a cope

With warfarin+chen

And scene

[turbid badge]

and scene?

[thorny summit]

Omg lag.

[turbid badge]

omg

[storm current]

mon3tr can take them every time

[turbid badge]

buggy abuse

[proud drift]

Yes, buggy to reveal them

Bro chen dies before she blocks him

[turbid badge]

oh

[proud drift]

[turbid badge]

i thought u woukd just

drop a buggy on them

and rhan chen

[proud drift]

Nah chen s3 is in range of cleaner while buggy doesn’t get killed

Cuz scene s1 camo

[uneven turret]

Whats gonna be the major ops for cc11 aside from mlynar

For higher risks

[turbid badge]

how high

[uneven turret]

well im aiming for max risk week 1 and possibly max risk or lower

[solemn anvil]

dont forget about spalter skill, its a good skill especially for tanking
but gj man

[turbid badge]

o

[uneven turret]

but I'm satisfied with just r30

[proud drift]

Reason I was asking if warf can buff buggy is because that gives me another headache which is placement

[thorny summit]

Thank you, I get scared to use spalters s2 bc she immediately switches to the other doll form after using it and sometimes she needs to block

[turbid badge]

idk

c11 likes stall i remmeber gnosis being good there

[solemn anvil]

it has pretty good damage too so its better to just kill off enemies and trusting gummy to block the leftovers while spalter sing the song of their people

[thorny summit]

Sighs bc the ugly gummy dies really fast tew.

[pale orchid]

So true lol

Civilians don’t do shit man

[signal lichen]

i still don't entirely understand the point of civillians

this mechanic is just very weird in general

[proud drift]

It’s a “hey look civilians lower ur bar at a slower rate than it increases”

“What if we give you 5 civilians, the bar goes down!!!”

puts on clown mask

what if we made the civilians path into red boxes?

[signal lichen]

all ik is they get in the way of speedfarmers

and so they use the boss and other enemies to kill them faster

[proud drift]

At this point I’d rather cook up a way to consistently oneshot the cleaners

Than try to keep civilians alive

[signal lichen]

fair

[pale orchid]

For me it’s using Spalter to tank them at the red box the spawn

[signal lichen]

also since i am struggling to figure out the solution i just wanna ask what ceobe requirements are there for her paradox

[pale orchid]

Then giving a bit of help to ensure the kill

[signal lichen]

i am just throwing myself at it going

[proud drift]

I’m trying atm chen+buffer+scene

I wonder if chen+skalter is enough

Warfarin too much downtime between red bars

I AM kinda gimping myself by trying to force W for trust into every stage instead of smth more useful

Although when I think about it

W s1 might actually be so good as a supporting tool for chen s3 dmg buff

And might not need anything else

[turbid badge]

whatt

[proud drift]

What

[turbid badge]

r u trying to kill cleaner with no medic or something

lmao

[proud drift]

Yes

Scene s1+chen s3+W s1

[frigid kite]

Sht cant be done

[proud drift]

Maybe slap a skalter pet in there for good measure

[turbid badge]

which stage

[proud drift]

Overall

[turbid badge]

oh

[proud drift]

Ex-3 made me realise they’re gonna be a problem in the future

So I should cook up something in advance

Warfarin chen scene worked, but warfarin’s downtime too long for 2nd bar

[turbid badge]

one small s3 ling dragon will skill up can kill it

[proud drift]

During red bar?

[turbid badge]

ye

skill up gives like 100% def

+100% def

[proud drift]

Anyways my answer to that is

“Ew blue woman”

[turbid badge]

loll

[frigid kite]

Correct answer

[proud drift]

It must take a lot of cancer to make me use blue woman

(that one NL EX cm stage that made all defenders have triple cost when u get zerg rushed)

[turbid badge]

use use Kalst

[proud drift]

Ok what about the other lane

[turbid badge]

[frigid kite]

Use

Hmmmm

Penance

[proud drift]

Well

I’d use penance

But you see

My RMA stocks are exactly 0

And green cert RMA stocks are 0 too

[frigid kite]

💀

[proud drift]

So I can’t e2 penis

(+ I’m totally not trying to M9 W or anything)

(Which also costs me another 20ish or so RMA more cause I already have s2m3)

It’s still kinda silly seeing how not even texas can do anything to it

[frigid kite]

Ice break has 15 RMA on shop

[turbid badge]

wow hes tanky

[proud drift]

Nice skalter

I should also raise shining

Chen could probably unironically live with just a shining and maybe skalter in CMs lol

[turbid badge]

ohh

[keen night]

Uhm

Guys

[keen night]

IS-7 failed coz i got overrun

😭

[pearl musk]

[keen night]

The Lappland Story level is IS-5 but with this guy

Im struggling with this one

And IS-7

I need help for 2 stages

[somber falcon]

Mid lane rush? Just borrow mountain and leave him there

[keen night]

I have no e2 ops

[somber falcon]

Penance and kroos should be enough for bot lane

[keen night]

If he requires skill 3b

[somber falcon]

I know

[keen night]

Do u have a placing guide

Coz i dunno where to place

Or just a rough idea of where to put

Coz i did 4 attempts

All gone

[somber falcon]

Red box spawn camp

[keen night]

For is-7?

Help…

[somber falcon]

Ofc it's for is-7, what other stage are we talking about here

[keen night]

I need help with this too

[hidden axle]

[somber falcon]

Aboose?

[elder flume]

nonb isnt invis so its just dps check because unblockable

[hidden axle]

Yeah

[frigid kite]

Mlynar S2 can dps check it

[hidden axle]

Dorothy s2 should work too

[frigid kite]

Damn getting ready for 7-18

[keen night]

Imma give is-7 a try

Rn

[frigid kite]

@frigid kite failed

[hidden axle]

[keen night]

I activated asset liquidation teice

💀

[frigid kite]

And

[hidden axle]

Use some defender to tank him and a medic to heal the defender

[keen night]

Ok

Which SA skill btw

[atomic kestrel]

Mlynar skill can be recharged on time before phase 2

[frigid kite]

I'd show you some Texas deployments but no one has S2

[keen night]

Which sa skill btw

[frigid kite]

1

[keen night]

Ok

K @frigid kite cleared ut

Texas clutch

Activated blood dept twice

[frigid kite]

Now for IS-8

Well

You have to cope a bit more

[keen night]

Nah

This level

Was alr a hard cheese

Recommended level was e1 lvl 70

I cleared it with none of them at recommended level

And most of them 10 lvls below

[hidden axle]

Take recommended levels with a grain of salt

[keen night]

[hidden axle]

it's true

[glass monolith]

There is literally "recommended e2" level before you unlock ability to e2

[sharp wadi]

Well feel free to borrow Texas s2 None that thing should die in sec

Before that e2 some shit first

[shell heron]

Does shamare's doll still debuff the steam knight when it flies up to do its missile barrage?

[keen night]

No

I made a promise to myself if i got omelette then she will be my first e1

[sharp wadi]

What is that?

[keen night]

Omertosa

[keen night]

Its the lappdumb lvl

I cant kill him

The one with the is-5 map

💀

[sharp wadi]

You don't need holding top

[keen night]

I NEED BRO

OR IM GONNA GET ASSET LIQUIDATIONS

💀

[main halo]

Mountain is a bully

[sharp wadi]

Mine is done so no way to show you but just deploy along the way tex s2 would kill

[sharp wadi]

Mine gauge doesn't even half for that event

This just Is-5

[drifting iron]

3-4 seem pain

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ex-3 seems pain for newb

[turbid badge]

nu uh

its called borrow ifrit

unless ur super noob with e1 lvl 1s

[glass monolith]

I think main issue is ASS-asssin flanking your range shit

[turbid badge]

than it will be hard to do anything

[latent monolith]

[tidal sedge]

Just how many phases this fucker have

[plush lichen]

can someone explain me why i cant hit the sniper bos in is ex 3 cm even though the bar is full

[tidal sedge]

Well he's invisible and you got to block him with someone who has more than 1 block to do damage to him

[glass monolith]

Becasue he is invisible and bar only exists to SPAWN him, not ATTACK him

[plush lichen]

thanks

[foggy grove]

you want to kill both

else the other will revive

[tidal sedge]

Both at the same time?

[glass monolith]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/585140236183535632/1034870492064133160/dance.gif

[foggy grove]

no need to be the same time,just before the other finish reviving

[plush lichen]

which defender is good to block him?

[glass monolith]

I kill bot one like 12 times before top one start moving, boring map

[vital arrow]

The cleaner gains invisibility in asset liquidation status

[tidal sedge]

Any strong defender you've with a medic backing them

[glass monolith]

He is just invisible

[plush lichen]

thanks

[latent monolith]

He's always invis

[foggy grove]

yeah

liquidation only gives him asp and atk? buff

[gleaming lodge]

iirc yes

Dude deals physical anyway, piece of cake

[analog kiln]

liquidation by default gives +%ATK and +%DEF
Cleaner gets extra +%ATK and +%DEF on top and attacks faster

[keen night]

Hiii

Anyone can tell me how to breeze clear is-8

[vital arrow]

Who do you have

[keen night]

Gimme a sec

@vital arrow

@vital arrow and also if u can pls help me with the is-5 stage but with None of my Business

Its on Lappland story quest in Siracusano

[vital arrow]

Ok this is a tall order

There is no 'breeze clear' with that lineup

Your main dps isn't even E1

[keen night]

Cheese clear

[keen night]

This one too

Pls help

No one helped

[hearty dock]

let me see lol

[vital arrow]

There is no cheese clear with no E2

[hearty dock]

btw whats the point of doing those side quest

[vital arrow]

What are you on about

[keen night]

Cant we cheese it?

[vital arrow]

Extra mats, vigil pots, medals

[vital arrow]

You chesse it with an E2 ifrit

[keen night]

I cheesed is-7 with all my ops under the required level

[keen night]

No support

[vital arrow]

You keep using that word

I don't think it means what you think it means

[keen night]

[gleaming lodge]

You can do IS-8 with Penance S2 timings I guess

[vital arrow]

Yeah but not E1 penance

[gleaming lodge]

Also yeah, that's not what cheesing means

[hearty dock]

there acutally is only e1 ops

[vital arrow]

She doesn't even have reflect

[keen night]

Why not

[gleaming lodge]

It still has decent damage

[vital arrow]

Her reflect is on E2

It's like half of her damage

[keen night]

Omelette gonna be my first e2

Regardless

[gleaming lodge]

It's half of her DPS against mooks yeah
But IS-8 is elite spam

[keen night]

Yes

[vital arrow]

You can try penance middle topmost tile

GG behind her

Do you not have an aoe caster or aoe sniper

[keen night]

Nop

[vital arrow]

Yeah RIP

[gleaming lodge]

I would try to stack as much AoE as possible in the middle yeah

[keen night]

Besides lava

Nope

[vital arrow]

Use lava then

[keen night]

Does Texas count as AoE?

[vital arrow]

No

Her aoe is literally just her first drop on S2

[keen night]

I mean her second skill

[vital arrow]

Yeah, a single hit

[keen night]

And when she kills someone

[vital arrow]

And we have a zerg rush of enemies here

[keen night]

No?

[vital arrow]

Have you tried the stage?

[graceful snow]

penance may not be able to tank

[vital arrow]

It's literally a traffic jam

[keen night]

Failed

[gleaming lodge]

With Skalter S2 she should be fine

[keen night]

Got overrun

[vital arrow]

Yeah thats a zerg rush

[hearty dock]

@keen night

you can pass with this I can send you the video link

[keen night]

I dont have even half of that roster levelled

💀

[graceful snow]

you could simply borrow an ifrit

[hearty dock]

Lol

[vital arrow]

Yeah that's the problem

Or yea borrow ifrit

E1 might be able to do it

[keen night]

I dont mind borrowing

[vital arrow]

Maybe

Penance mid

Ifrit behind her

Lava and GG beside ifrit

Get a medic so they don't get pelted to death

[graceful snow]

ifrit

would sa s2 be able to tank...

[turbid badge]

ur ifrit looks very red and skinny

[graceful snow]

with medics

[turbid badge]

[keen night]

SA?

[graceful snow]

Isint skill 1 the usual one

[graceful snow]

he needs s2 to tank

his s1 barely has damage against the high def enemies

[keen night]

Blockers as in

Penance and Hoshi?

[graceful snow]

courier and penance would work

Since ur hoshi is low level

oh yea u could deploy skadi next to ifrit

before you drop ur blockers

[keen night]

So

Myrtle

Texalt

Ifirit

Skadi?

[graceful snow]

yep

[gleaming lodge]

With factories and trading posts

[keen night]

Uhhh

3.0 base

[gleaming lodge]

Bottom right of the menu screen

[keen night]

Everything but dorm is maxed

[gleaming lodge]

Have you not cleared 4-7 yet ?

What do you mean max ?

If you're on 3.0 it can't be maxed

[glass monolith]

I'm calling 3-3-3 now

[keen night]

On highest lvl possible

[keen night]

I don’t think sk

[graceful snow]

what does skalter s1 do

would it be good for famiglia cleaner wave

e0 medics cant sustain an e1 defender

[keen night]

Take half dmg

For all allies in range

[gleaming lodge]

Can you share a picture of it ?
You should be able to produce around 40k LMD and EXP a day

[graceful snow]

should be good to use whenever the mini boss comes

i dont have skalter rn so i cant test it

ill have her at reset tho

[keen night]

Wait

Im connecting to waifi

[cinder vector]

ur pp is tired

[gleaming lodge]

Oh no

Bro started leveling office

Well, mine is lvl3 so what can I say

[graceful snow]

omaygottt no

permanent account dama

diff of 1 lmd per day

[keen night]

Ur not supposed to upgrade it?

[gleaming lodge]

If possible try to switch to 2 trading posts, 5 factories (even if they aren't max lvl), and only 2 powerplants
Don't upgrade office further
And clear 4-7 and SK-5 ASAP for base materials

[keen night]

[gleaming lodge]

It's a trap
You get more EXP/LMD production if you don't upgrade it, and right side cannot be downgraded

[storm current]

@graceful snow but do you know much difference to be exact

[graceful snow]

you run out of recruit permits anyways if you always uh recruit like 10 a day

[keen night]

I didnt know

[graceful snow]

no

[storm current]

To be specific, if you have lv1 office instead of lv2, you can upgrade another lv2 factory to lv3

[gleaming lodge]

No worries, it's not a big deal
More like a meme

[storm current]

So its at least 25% of exp or gold in total

[storm current]

But

You dont really get benefit from higher office

Since you are gated by how much permit you get perday, not how many you can do

[keen night]

Oh well

I wont upgrade it anymore then

Welp

Im sorry

😭

[graceful snow]

i have 400 despite

2 slots

i login twice usually

[storm current]

By standard you can go up to 5 recruit per day

[keen night]

[keen night]

SA didnt even die once

What i did was

SA s2 from the beginning

Texas for chip dmg aoe

And then i threw skadi dragon for buff and healing

[graceful snow]

is-8 rock

[gleaming lodge]

Skadi dragon ?!

[keen night]

yea

Anyone here have twitch\

[sonic willow]

[keen night]

I need help for a very specific level

[gray stone]

The seaborn

[gleaming lodge]

Oh

It's not a dragon
And it's Skalter
Also, its effects do not stack in Skalter's normal range

[keen night]

Oh

Whatever then

@gleaming lodge Do u hv twitch

[gleaming lodge]

No

[gray stone]

Live in a voice channel

[gleaming lodge]

Yes

[keen night]

Theres a rly specific level i need help with

[gleaming lodge]

It doesn't matter

[gray stone]

But ask someone to help you first

[keen night]

I been trying

[gleaming lodge]

Stream in here so we can talk

Anyway, I can't join

[keen night]

They give me guides for IS-5

When its only the map thats similar

Enemy change

[graceful snow]

have you tried looking up stuff from youtube

[keen night]

Only found IS5

Its IS-5+ NOMB

[graceful snow]

hmm yea cant find any with the nomb

[fierce dragon]

How do I beat is-ex-8?

[vital arrow]

Who do you have

[gray stone]

Cuora and 2 burst medics

THe problem will be simplified to "Do you have enough DPS to kill Zaaro before he kills your brick"

[fierce dragon]

This is my squad but replace Amita with texalter

[gray stone]

Holy fuck

[hardy fog]

is ling good for level 4 surging wave

[graceful snow]

stacked

lol you have way more than enough tanking ability

[fierce dragon]

That is the first time someone has reacted like that to my roster

[balmy halo]

the res inc isnt really that noticeable for early floors, which is where u use ling in

[hardy fog]

but late stages?

[sonic willow]

better to borrow mlynar for burst

[balmy halo]

bro buy a silverash skin dont make ur squad look ugly like that

[sonic willow]

she's a great starter from d0 to d15

[graceful snow]

anemia

[balmy halo]

u would probably have better ops than ling at that point

[gray stone]

Surprised that someone with full E2 can struggle on this with the best brick combo in the game
Then I look again and see 1 person have any meaningful damage

[hardy fog]

ok

[fierce dragon]

But I like SA E2

I'm not sure why I'm struggling on this stage as soon as the wolf comes up nothing will survive

[balmy halo]

what do u struggle with? shining + a bricked up hoshi shouldnt have that much problems against both boss and asset dude

[balmy halo]

maybe ur not timing the skills well?

[fierce dragon]

It kills my healers quickly

[sonic willow]

anyone else you have raised? using a medic defender is good

[sonic willow]

bring a 2nd single target medic

[gray stone]

My Pozy+typewriter whoops his ass

[balmy halo]

personally i had cuora fed with warf and ptilopsis and she was fine for enough time that my surtr could kill the boss

[glass monolith]

Pro tip. Don't face tank with medic

[fierce dragon]

Only one I have is nearl and never got her to e2

[balmy halo]

maybe its operator placement timing?

[sand trail]

I often missed 3 star even in the early stages. Whats a good general team for story?

[gray stone]

Pro tip: Do face tank with medic

Then the stage becomes a DPS check

[fierce dragon]

Doesn't hibiscus count

[glass monolith]

Pro: pull Reedic

[gray stone]

Her burst healing is meh

[fierce dragon]

She's kinda carried me through much of the game so far

[sonic willow]

not familiar with her healing

does she heal better than hibiscus?

[balmy halo]

texas, texas/siege (only level her up till e1 tho), myrtle, scavenger/courier, sussuro, kroos, amiya, another medic (perfumer if ya can), lappland, liskarm, extra defender

[balmy halo]

slap sussuro

[fierce dragon]

She has an offensive skill that deals damage over time and heals relatively quickly

[hardy fog]

i just got another

[fierce dragon]

Hits two at a time

Suzu, that's a free recruitment right there

[glass monolith]

Why it is even an option to skip her?

[balmy halo]

suzu is free, get ling later

[hardy fog]

i never used zuzu before lol

[balmy halo]

if theres a free op, u always kinda want to get them since u can get the ones u have later

[sand trail]

I start the stage with siege/texalter to stall a bit and them use mrytle for dp. After that i close a route using penance and focus on defendjng the base with liskarm and lappland. Is this how you supposed to play?

[crystal meteor]

whats the point of e1 suzu

[fierce dragon]

You E2 her

[balmy halo]

just think of her as a caster for now, both of her skills at that point are automatically activated anyway

[crystal meteor]

shes not free anymore

[balmy halo]

or just bench her till s3

[sand trail]

What’s the difference between siege and texas?

[hardy fog]

ok

[balmy halo]

siege is slightly more expensive, but has better laneholding capability.

both are scratch that, they ARE bad openers at lategame tho

[misty egret]

Is it worth raising blemishine ? I dont have saria and either way i rarely use healing defenders
I mostly use Horn or mudrock or durnar
I also have hoshiguma but havent raised her

In long run , considering Annihilations and CCs etc , do i wait for saria ?

[balmy halo]

blem and saria kinda do diff things

blem is more of an offensive defender (laneholder type shi) while saria is the peak of guardian defenders healing

[sand trail]

Oohh i see, thank you

[balmy halo]

yea for early game they're good nuff tho

[misty egret]

Considering that i rarely use healing defenders , do you think it would be worth to raise her ?
Mudrock and horn covers most things for me and with guards like thorns etc makes it more easier...Therefore not letting me use or deploy any healing defender

[balmy halo]

i mean which other ops do u have to justify her priority level to raise?

[hardy fog]

who

[gray stone]

Long

[balmy halo]

i'd go with ling first if ur using her a lot like a LOT for the stages

ya cant upgrade suzu if ur dead after all

[hardy fog]

ok

[misty egret]

Both mudrock and Horn are maxed out E2 lvl90 with all skills mastery 3

[balmy halo]

yea i dont see her being used much with that stacked of a roster, tbh u should level for fun at that point

suzu would give u more utility to play with

irene + chen is also a funny duo

[misty egret]

Isnt irene same as chen and skadi ?

[balmy halo]

not skadi

irene is also a better chen for the most part

[crystal meteor]

ye theyre all girl guards

[misty egret]

Also thanks !

[balmy halo]

wcc

[pearl musk]

should i build phatom when i have taxes?

[vital arrow]

Mostly no

[sonic willow]

why tf can't I send img

[static ember]

Suggestion pls, Ive no clue

[gleaming lodge]

How big is your dice ?

You need >3 or >5

If you have a 6-sided dice I would take top choice

[static ember]

this?

[gleaming lodge]

Yes

But you don't need to spend a roll here

[verbal vine]

I already got this Collectible yet the boss isn't Ishar mla... Whatt??

[static ember]

I see

thanks

[gleaming lodge]

IIRC you get some rewards depending on what you take

So make sure you have a decent chance of rolling success

(for >3, the result 3 is considered a failure btw)

[sonic willow]

6th floor

[verbal vine]

Ooh...

I forgot that exist

[tidal sedge]

A tragedy

[verbal vine]

Thorn should be able to hold top left alone

No need penance

[tidal sedge]

Really? That's great

[elder flume]

what happened to dp

[sonic willow]

thorns need pot or high level to actually solo top

think it was pot

[tidal sedge]

I borrowed a M3 Thorns

[balmy halo]

retreating penance should give you enough to get myrtle back?

[tidal sedge]

I think I can place a normal defender in place of Penance, and place her on the right side so I'd not need to swap a hundred times

[balmy halo]

wait actually no u also need to retreat perfumer

[tidal sedge]

Ah yeah I did that but the flower leaked

[turbid badge]

darn

[verbal vine]

What is this???

[sly drift]

Suprise party

[verbal vine]

I think one Volcano snail is enough

Yet they spawn another one

[turbid badge]

its called wheres ur lappland

[verbal vine]

What's the point when my healer can't even survive from that Snail bombing around anyone on sight

[gleaming lodge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/997212756153487481/1114845571543486536/image.png

[gleaming lodge]

Lapp in IS#3 is huh.. questionable

[sly drift]

Bro probably want to silence Pompeii

[smoky matrix]

If I wanna use Kroos Alter in Is3 the good skill is s1 right? Cos Camo

[gleaming lodge]

What?

[latent monolith]

Depends on stage iirc

[cosmic dagger]

Generally s2

[gleaming lodge]

No
You want S2 for big damage

[cosmic dagger]

There's a couple stages for s1 camo

[latent monolith]

S2 would be generally better I'd assume yeah

[cosmic dagger]

For example, territorial tendencies or water and fire

For obvious reasons

[smoky matrix]

Ah i see

[turbid badge]

can u just weedy pompeii out the map

😮

[glass monolith]

Weedy Pompeii into wall so hard he teleport into blue box

[elder flume]

coordinate bug could make that happen

[hardy fog]

is this on floor 6?

[verbal vine]

Yea, ishar mla ending

[glass monolith]

"You should abandon your run. NOW" the stage

[hardy fog]

lmao

seen that stage from pardi in yt iirc

it was hell of a stage in sw15

[vital arrow]

That

Or water fire union

Take your pick

[frigid kite]

Just learnt that Heavyshooter chocker artifact kills Knight's 2nd phase lol

Wait actually i think it works on every enemy, including bosses

[turbid badge]

yea

they change it

[limpid siren]

@elder flume have you thought about stalling a crawler in is3 with the roadblock support item to confirm that their skill would pop at the end of their 99999 sp cost?
idk if this has already been done

[elder flume]

which one is crawler

i know the bishop looking enemy is roadblockable to eternity?

tho thats prob patched

i havent done many is3 runs

[cosmic dagger]

ut eggs?

[neat skiff]

Yup, eggy bois.

[outer sail]

Sometimes I feel so dumb. It took watching someone else doing IS3 to make me realize the value of using Mon3tr as a stun/true damage grenade...

[neat skiff]

The module Kal launched with and a very popular opinion was "wait for the other one" and is now "use the better one".

[glass monolith]

Just get relic which turns EVERYTHING INTO FLASHBANG and enjoy shelling them with everything you got

God damn Riot block which on death stuns

[outer sail]

I had a run like that... The SP gain for fortress ops when they deal damage + increased atk for 1 second after using skill. Set Horn from S3 to S1 and enjoyed the fireworks.

[glass monolith]

Silvergun already beat d14 with 4* only

[limpid siren]

he beat D15

silvergun is a bad yardstick to measure yourself by though

[outer sail]

I just watched his D13 run... Dude is insane.

[limpid siren]

what you don't see are all the resets

but you're right

[outer sail]

And yes... Some of the clears he has on some of the harder stages with like low op clears. Dude is on another level for sure.

[neat skiff]

1 run then you look at the vid it came from…

Vod

[limpid siren]

you only need the stars to align once

[outer sail]

He talks about them sometimes though. The need/hate to "farm" some stages for RNG or whatever. Even outside IS3.

[limpid siren]

yeah

but

there's a big difference between mentioning the mald

and living through it

someone has to pilot all those dead runs

it's just easy to lose sight of that when what people see is the end result

[neat skiff]

1 hour pinch out.

6 hour under tides CC.

[outer sail]

As a big fan of rogue-lites (outside IS modes), I am all too aware of this aspect of the genre 😉

[limpid siren]

sure

then you know it's a matter of persistence

[outer sail]

Yep. There's definitely skill involved, like a really great player can turn maybe wins into wins more often and doesn't necessarly need the stars to align QUITE as nicely, but at a certain point you still need a certain degree of RNG on your side to get "the run"

[limpid siren]

i think the first part you mentioned comes from a lot of failure in the first place though

very few people are good from the get go

especially without any transferable skill

[outer sail]

Well yeah... That's true of anyone/anygame. Especially a game like Arknights where stage knowledge is the most important thing.

[limpid siren]

ye

[outer sail]

The more you fail, the more you learn, the better you get.

[limpid siren]

majority of my losses are at low difficulty

[outer sail]

Ditto
