strategy

[umbral escarp]

SA dies at like 330

[sharp wadi]

Have sa s2?

[umbral escarp]

yes

[frigid kite]

Alright do this, put Perfumer where Amiya is, looking up and Amiya where Kroos is, looking left

Kroos where perfumer was

[sharp wadi]

Your can perf face up

Or use another defender

[turbid badge]

omg i got to half

well almsot half

[stone rover]

what options do I even have for tanking the cleaner, I tried multiple defenders which failed horribly, blaze, but she can only tank once and dies from the next cleaner, tried ch’en, a clusterfuck of hastily deployed fast-redeploys(all of these with medics).
is it really just kal’tsit?

[umbral escarp]

this?

[turbid badge]

Idkkk mannn

i had ling try to damage while cuora s2 was up

works for first cleaner

but like

ling s2 has to be up

for the damage

oh shit forgot u had chen

wait u have chen

mod 3??

[umbral escarp]

I have to E1 perfumer tho right?

[stone rover]

yes

but only m1 on s2&3

[turbid badge]

holy shut

Oh darn

only m1

[cyan gorge]

The alternative is Mudrock + skalter
or Hoshi with strong medics

[stone rover]

does it have to be multiple medics?

[cyan gorge]

I've also seen Eunectes and Aurora

[turbid badge]

no

hoshi just needs one

[stone rover]

Can just shining suffice?

[turbid badge]

Yea

do u have another built defender

[frigid kite]

Probably

[stone rover]

one sec

here’s all my units

(defenders included)

[turbid badge]

IF ONLY

if only ur eben was e2

dont e2 him tho

he one shots the cleaners

[stone rover]

no I will e2 him

I like Ebenholz despite how useless he is

[latent monolith]

sounds a bit close ngl, 20k hp 45 res on CM

[stone rover]

yummy

I thought they had way lower hp

[latent monolith]

They're basically half a 7-18 patriot stat wise on EX

[sterile eagle]

thx everyone for helping

[turbid badge]

oh right the cm buff

hmm lemme see if he can

[sterile eagle]

thank you very much

comunity with no rage

[warm owl]

Can Saria tank his 2nd phase on cm?

[sterile eagle]

now i try some cm

[sterile eagle]

? vm?

[warm owl]

😭

[latent monolith]

Iirc with skalter she can

[sterile eagle]

maybe? i specialize 2 all her skill

[warm owl]

Cool

[turbid badge]

no

unless u have like 3 medics

or smth

[timid acorn]

maxed Ebenholz doesnt one hit them but he takes them out quickly enough before they become a problem

[latent monolith]

Skalter + full stack passive

[turbid badge]

skalter oh eya

[latent monolith]

• 1 medic maybe?

[somber robin]

i don't recommend trying that

too much effort

[sterile eagle]

[warm owl]

I already scuffed it with meta ops somehow

[somber robin]

when you can just blitz the boss down with just big damage

[warm owl]

Just curious

[latent monolith]

If you have someone tanky enough like nian skalter+saria it isn't really an inconvenience to tank it

[timid acorn]

assuming he's charged at least

[sterile eagle]

the big change is, i e2 my mudrock

how to make her work in cm?

[somber robin]

paired chalter with amiya s3 and didn't even need to have anything block the boss in mid lane, hoshi was just there in case silencer spawned, also ignore penance

[sterile eagle]

why like this?

left lane?

[somber robin]

oh yeah i had penance solo left lane then retreated everything

lemme grab a pic

[stone rover]

how crucial is tequila and saga in your run

[sterile eagle]

wow now i just saw saga e2

[somber robin]

1st phase was this

[somber robin]

crucial and easily replaceable, saga was for dp generation and beating up the first wave of weak enemies on right side, tequila there to kill silencer with the help of medics, amiya wasn't needed except for her s3 at the very end

[sterile eagle]

i try this for cm

[somber robin]

gl

make the 3 hours worth it

[frigid kite]

[stone rover]

if only I got surtr and/or NTR instead of 2 rosas

and 1 penance pot

Would make this stage definitely a bit easier

[still ingot]

why this game so hard

[stone rover]

for the lolz

[sterile eagle]

right lane

[stone rover]

right lane ain’t lookin too hot

[sterile eagle]

nani

[gentle finch]

ok

she is for mid lane

she solos

[sterile eagle]

ok

[frigid kite]

No way is he actually doing it

[stone rover]

Wait is he in his 2nd phase already?

[sterile eagle]

can she handle midlane for solo?

[gentle finch]

skip to part where a hitman walks out

[sterile eagle]

if so, i bring water chen for the right side to faster kill the wolf

[gentle finch]

to see

[stone rover]

why is it saying that you’re playing Azur lane

[lost inlet]

how the hell do you beat the last knight? lee?

[cyan gorge]

I did it with Lee + Penance sandwich

[latent monolith]

I had lee + cc relic perma stun boss

But erato nothing is the more reliable option

[frigid kite]

Would Penance + Relic permastun him?

[latent monolith]

Penance requires overcharge for stun right?

The boss freeze doesn't last long enough to let her do that I think

[sterile eagle]

ok mudrock cant solo there

[sterile eagle]

bcoz im playing both

[stone rover]

oh

lol

[lost inlet]

ill try eunectes + someone with that gives status resistance

[gentle finch]

she just needs a little help like Texas alter or ranged DPS

[sterile eagle]

nah my texas alter is helping right lane

no time to go to middle lane

[gentle finch]

ranged dps then

even if she doesn't one cycle she can stall them there for a while

you have some time to deal with them while she blocks

[sterile eagle]

maybe i should faster go to open ntrk badge by clearing MN8?

Im thinking maybe my ntrk too weak

but i dont have stamina now so need to wait

and i use back hoshiguma x ptilopsis for middle lane

[gentle finch]

aight

[stone rover]

Does penance need to be e2 to hold left lane?

[latent monolith]

Yeah she kinda wants S3 for it

Or at least the stats and masteries

[stone rover]

I’ve seen someone here use S2 for it

[latent monolith]

Probably wouldn't work on E1 regardless because stat difference, but I've usually seen S3 used more

[sterile eagle]

i did it with hoshiguma

omg

thx guys

[sterile eagle]

i did a great stuff again

its time to let me try other IS-S cm mode

[stone rover]

Did you do EX on cm yet?

[sterile eagle]

just 1 and 8

others not done yet

[frigid kite]

Wow

Gratz

[turbid badge]

no

e2 works yea

I think it should work

Just try it out tbh..

unless ur out of tickets

THAN AGAIN

IT KINDA DOESNT .. matterr

ok you know why🤣

blood debt

so u need dps

[stone rover]

4 medic dualchips in a row

[turbid badge]

ur borrowing kal right

just have ur chen on s2

[stone rover]

I want to e2 penance

[turbid badge]

holding lane

lol

thats what i did

[stone rover]

Isn’t s3 better for single target damage?

[cyan gorge]

I'd test Penance s2, but mine is m3 with max level

[turbid badge]

are u also having her with zarro

than go s3?

i went s2 cause it has arts dmg

• aoe

[cyan gorge]

even then, S3 can damage boss somewhat

or at least power up her reflect

[latent monolith]

Chen S2 kinda sucks, I always end up using S3 even if it's not strictly single target content

[cyan gorge]

Chen? I thought we were talking about Penance

[turbid badge]

they have chne e2 m1 both skills

[turbid badge]

max mod

[cyan gorge]

Ah I'm blind

[turbid badge]

if theyre are using chen for zarro than go s3

[latent monolith]

The nice thing about chen S3 this event is for example against cars she unblocks them and they don't spawn the other stuff

And also just iframes are nice

[stone rover]

my god I want to e2 penance but it won’t give me any defender dualchips

[frigid kite]

You will probably also need to give her levels

And at least 1 Mastery

Do you have time for that

[latent monolith]

E2 60 S3M1 penance with a chen mod 3 on field for some of the opening soloed the left lane for me, it could probably work with less given the margins I had in terms of HP pools and being not particularly close to leaking

[stone rover]

there goes all my lmd

[sterile eagle]

how to made this, as a question

[stone rover]

You need to kill 2 cars while they aren’t blocked

So retreat the operator blocking them just before they die

But you’ll need another operator to kill them then

You can use mlynar with unbrilliant glory and put a defender in front of him

Then right before the last hit retreat the defender

[stone rover]

Also remember not to do this in challenge mode

[sterile eagle]

i will try it then

[stone rover]

would it be disastrous if she was just e2 40

also just started the s3 m1 specialization

[latent monolith]

Likely not

[stone rover]

I Wonder if the normal sniper’s arts damage during asset liquefaction is considered a special ability

[latent monolith]

It's not silenceable

[stone rover]

aw

[still ingot]

can I do is-7?

looks very hopeless

[stone rover]

oh damn

fear bypasses blaze’s talent

[still ingot]

what fear who blaze?

I don't understand

[frigid kite]

IS-S-5

[gentle finch]

damn

teta removed his weedu

[frigid kite]

He became meta

Finally

[still ingot]

wait, I got vigil, is he any good?

[frigid kite]

No but

You can probably use him on E1 for a while

[still ingot]

surely in his own event he should be copium

[latent anvil]

He's contender for worst 6 star in game

Even his base skill is bait unless you e1, due to hidden mechanic

[fluid sail]

he’s absolutely awful

[still ingot]

who's worse him or shining

[fluid sail]

vigil

[frigid kite]

Totally different

And shining is good healer

[still ingot]

okay

[frigid kite]

Single target healer

[fluid sail]

at least shining has some use for def buffing even tho it’s unnecessary most of the time
vigil is supposed to do dmg and he just doesn’t so

[stone rover]

how do yall do this

heard of a site that does this but immediately forgot it’s name after hearing it

[glass monolith]

ark-nights, should be in pins

[stone rover]

[glass monolith]

or whatever you replied to my buggy discord fails to scroll to FUCKING MESSAGE

[stone rover]

something tells me this wasn’t made to be compatible with mobile devices

the sidebar takes up 90% of the screen

[latent monolith]

It is in fact not

Please use something with a two digit screen size

[stone rover]

nuh uh

[turbid badge]

yeaa

[stone rover]

anyways I have found a way to get to the second phase more consistently

however I still die horribly afterwards

and I’m out of stage planners so I can’t get in and take a screenshot without sacrificing sanity

nevermind i can just use normal instead of cm

do not question why Rosa is there for I do not know myself

[sonic willow]

where did all your lmd and exp from event shop go

[still ingot]

I havent spent any event currency yet

I am currently watching a guy on yt who cleared everything with low stars and trying to recreate what he did with what I have

idk if that makes sense

[sonic willow]

why?

[still ingot]

I dont know what to get

[sonic willow]

you do understand that if you bought the lmd and exp to boost your progress, you'd be able to clear right

[still ingot]

but what about e2 mats

I dont have a grasp on how hard are those to get

[ruby raptor]

buy as well if possible

[sonic willow]

lmd and exp are prio

[stone rover]

1 permit for 20 lmd? Doesn’t sound worth it at all

Oh

Nevermind i never saw those

[still ingot]

there's 7 for 5k

[stone rover]

yeah I just now saw them

[still ingot]

so I should buy all the exp?

[sonic willow]

lmd first then exp

[stone rover]

You probably won’t need the e2 mats yet

[sonic willow]

hoarding is so bad in this game

[still ingot]

I only played 1 real gacha and it was all hoarding kek

[stone rover]

[sonic willow]

only thing you hoard are and

[stone rover]

damn I forgot I just e2’ed penance

I hoarded a shit ton of battle records before that

[still ingot]

I only have 6 green exp thingies

and if I buy lmd first I cant buy any exp

is that ok?

I honestly have no idea how does it calculate the lvl up cost

[sonic willow]

you've been hoarding event currency, but can't buy out both lmd and exp?

[still ingot]

I only have 770

I didnt farm any stages becasue I didnt know you could

[sonic willow]

💀

at this point, you should just buy all the lmd and focus on building a good base

[stone rover]

Gotta get to 4-7 to get all the floors though

[sonic willow]

3-8 is fine to unlock all left side

[still ingot]

[sonic willow]

for now, just farm the event stages while they are here

try to get as much of the lmd and exp as you can

[still ingot]

okay

I can only farm is-2...

I got addicted to support units after that

[light flame]

tbh don't feel too bad, if you're brand new to the game i wouldn't expect to full clear the event

and there's gonna be another event rerun after this as well so you can put what you learned to work :p

[still ingot]

I am nine days in

[digital rampart]

Ok, so im still stuck at IS-S-5 CM, im trying to have mountain and eyja handle left side, which works most of the time, except that Mountain can't handle the wave with a limo and a heavy since this is usually when blood debt triggers. For right side im trying go have Cuora healed by Lumen tank/stall the boss while a Ling 4 block summon takes the enemies. I still struggle with the cleaners, Texter s2 does nothing, Surtr dies before s3 can charge, Mudrock s3 doesn;t work (though i might be using her wrong).
https://krooster.com/u/BonoMag

[still ingot]

is is-4 ok to farm or do I try higher?

[frigid kite]

Farm stages with materials you need to upgrade your ops

[still ingot]

I regret not looking up more stuff before playing

could've used more 3*

[frigid kite]

Well you are still really early

Like really

Just upgrade essential 3*

Steward, Kroos, Spot, Ansel and maybe Midnight

There are also some good optional 3* like Melantha and Popukar

And probably Lava

[still ingot]

sweet, I invested into some of those

thanks for the advice

[frigid kite]

Use dragons for Left side and cleaners

And try to burst the wolf 1st phase, you can just wait until it comes to mid at the end

[sonic willow]

don't level melantha or popukar

[digital rampart]

how do I use dragons for cleaners? i dont think mid lane has a good spot for 4 block dragons does it?

[sonic willow]

use mudrock for middle

[still ingot]

I e1'd my popukar like an hour ago

[frigid kite]

@digital rampart for mudrock you would want to use her when cleaner is over there

Maybe a bit before

And she will kill it

For Surtr just put her next to blue box and wait until it shots her 1 to 2 times and use skill

She will also kill it

[gentle finch]

it looks like the civ is equipped with a sword

a golden sword

[sonic willow]

the civs had enough

it's time to fight back

[eager wraith]

heyo, still stuck at is s 5 challenge with this team

i manage to burst his first phase but then i just die miserably

[gentle finch]

man

am i the only person who never raised cuora

[frigid kite]

You have to put Mlynar 1 tile to the left

Or he will get debuffed

[eager wraith]

even with taunt?

[frigid kite]

Mine is also lvl 1

[gentle finch]

can Kal kill a cleaner if you drop gravel on it right before it walks past the tile

[frigid kite]

Phase 2 is AoE debuff

[eager wraith]

oh right

[gentle finch]

like Kal guarding the blue box and gravel on the cleaner right as it is in monsters range

[frigid kite]

Oh right it should be like this

[eager wraith]

so i have to use kal for the cleaners?

instead of the wolf

[frigid kite]

I still have the pics from yesterday lol

[eager wraith]

penance with s3?

[frigid kite]

Yup

[mossy chasm]

So I'm still stuck on M8-6 trying to get the secret unlock thing by keeping all the guys alive.

https://krooster.com/u/Erdryc

That's my roster but I just can't seem to keep anyone alive on the top right spots long enough to kill the red enemies

[frigid kite]

Did you try with Horn?

[mossy chasm]

I'd rather try to do it without support

If possible

[frigid kite]

Ok

I think you could with Gavial and texas

[mossy chasm]

Where/when would you deploy them?

[cyan gorge]

I can’t imagine doing it without Horn tbh

Maybe with Texas abuse it’s possible

[still ingot]

I'm getting scammed

[sonic willow]

I'm with you

[opal kiln]

e2 vulcan for base spotted

[turbid badge]

i cant believe u simple

[sonic willow]

I use her over mud/pen trust

[gentle finch]

so real

is Saria's next mod out

bro has nearl skin but she's E1

[sonic willow]

you know why I have the skin

[gentle finch]

[sonic willow]

no seriously, are we forgetting free skin voucher

[frigid kite]

And just keep spamming texas everytime you can

@mossy chasm 2 healers + Mlynar

Btw I think Texas can solo that stage

[solid dew]

no, you aint (idk why i think im still coping about getting hoshi from first free 6* idk)

[eager wraith]

nope can't do it

the cars just kill someone or i can't burst him fast enough

[fair shard]

Can anyone help me beat Lapp's Saluzzo Estate? Like ive been getting fucked up for a good while

[glass monolith]

Just fuck the doge

I killed it by accident by e1 max Kroos Melantha and Midnight while not even trying to speed kill it

[fair shard]

I CANT

THE FUCKING BLOOD LEDGER ACTIVATES

[digital rampart]

So, how does boss's skill target, by latest deploy or how?

[fair shard]

Targeting is always by last deploy or whoevers blocking them im pretty sure

[glass monolith]

[digital rampart]

there we go, finally

thanks for the help to everyone in this chanel

ended up using a Ling dragon to solo left side, Monst3r + Skalter + Mlynar to handle right side and boss phase 1 + half of phase 2

Mudrock and ejya to handle center

and killed the boss in the middle with chalter, surtr, and mlynar

[umbral escarp]

@frigid kiteI cleared but I'm missing three kills on anni1 :/

[topaz mist]

https://youtu.be/0FRvzOEvKoE
I was thinking about this strategy, but with Passenger S3m3 instead of Ifrit, Horn S1M1 instead of Eyja and Spalter S3m2Mody3 instead of Mountain (i don't have those)

Any thoughts?

[umbral escarp]

using this

I forgor but amiya is next to exusiai facing left

[sonic willow]

you have practice for this

[sonic willow]

how are you losing

[umbral escarp]

3 units take the route on screen

I'm not losing, just missing 3 kills for 400

[sonic willow]

can't you use texas to kill

[umbral escarp]

what texas

[sonic willow]

well, yeah that's losing

the idea is to have a kill group, you can use kroos + guard/defender

[umbral escarp]

I don't have a spare slot tho :/

ig I can just kill amiya

[sonic willow]

kroos can go

[umbral escarp]

what do I use to kill the heretics

Would S1 Red work?

[sonic willow]

at low level, probably not

[umbral escarp]

Kroos+Gravel?

[sonic willow]

gummy probably

she can heal herself and stall

also, if silence is e1, she has a healing drone

[umbral escarp]

She's not yet

This is the team I roll with

[sonic willow]

can't you just borrow

[umbral escarp]

uhhhhh

I forgot

[sonic willow]

[umbral escarp]

whatever

this might work anyways

aaand gummy got 1 shot

imma just borrow

[light flame]

E0 L1 do be like that

[frigid kite]

You could also, before the wave of casters, retreat Kroos and put her next to Perfumer

[tawny rivet]

Steward > amiya at e1

[versed hazel]

I need a strat for IS-S-5, all the srats online include Blue Woman and I don't have her and want to beat it without support.

[tawny rivet]

what's the point of beating it without support?
you can't autofarm it

[fierce mauve]

1. just to say you did it
2. lets you just auto it in the rerun

[tawny rivet]

or you could just clear it again one time in the rerun

@versed hazel what's your current squad?

[solid dew]

what difference is there to auto in the rerun? is it just to not have to beat them again or something

actually no thats probably it

so you dont have to redo the quest thingys?

[fierce mauve]

that's exactly it, i don't wanna manually play stuff in a rerun

[foggy grove]

you will have to redo your cm

[solid dew]

you wouldnt have to do S levels in CM if you already did it (and got all medals) right? cause S-5 is annoying ngl

[civic nest]

yup

[fierce mauve]

tbh i just leave that

lazy doctor club leader

[solid dew]

y tho? it only gives medal, so if you have all them already u dont need to do them again

[fierce mauve]

all the broken autos and autos that didn't do daily task criteria aggravated the shit out me in NL rerun

[fierce mauve]

there's no reason to redo S CMs, but EX-8 CM rerun will give blue certs if you did it in the original run

[solid dew]

blue certs? thats for core banner yea. do you know why they doing that?

[civic nest]

the inteligence

for buying orundumb and other stuff

[solid dew]

oh that, never gotten any kek. maybe try that than it wasnt very hard from my recollection

also, was it only EX-8?

[fierce mauve]

you get them from acquiring event furniture you already got in the original run

[solid dew]

nvm answered

ty

[fierce mauve]

also i'm colorblind, they're actually purple certs

[solid dew]

one more question about that, do you actually have to have auto deploy it? or just have beaten it, it looks like the latter. "beat it and get reward that gets turned into stuff" is the auto deploy necessary

[fierce mauve]

CMs cannot be autoed, even if you beat them without supports

for some reason

so if you want the purple certs in the rerun you have to beat EX-8 CM again and it must be manual

[solid dew]

so im mostly fine as it wasnt that bad, ok. cool ty

[mossy chasm]

Alright I give up, M8-6 with Horn?

[gentle finch]

yes

[mossy chasm]

Where does she go/how do I use her?

[cyan gorge]

I have a Kal/Pozy/Texas core strat, works even if you have 2 of the 3

[cyan gorge]

Put her in the space next to Rosmo or on the bottom lane facing up

Spam S3 off cooldown

bring Ptilopsis for a faster rotation if you have her

[mossy chasm]

If next to Rosmontis does she face right or up?

[cyan gorge]

right

I have a ss I think

[sharp wadi]

6 hrs and you still struggle?

[cyan gorge]

@mossy chasm Found it

[mossy chasm]

Nah, I've only tried about 10 times max, I've been busy here and there today

[sharp wadi]

Did u have ops like this?

[cyan gorge]

Gavalter cheese

[versed hazel]

Unfortunately I don’t have Kalstit and Pozy

[gentle finch]

silence is so beautiful

[versed hazel]

Yes she is

[cyan gorge]

Damn
You only really need Kal to pull off the strat so if you don't mind borrowing it might be possible

[ocean kayak]

Stall strat?

[versed hazel]

I guess I can use a supporter

[ocean kayak]

You have hoshi Ifrit shining?

[cyan gorge]

Pozy is meant to be the boss killer for phase 2, but a burst dps like Mlynar or Chalter can replace

[versed hazel]

Yes yes and no

[versed hazel]

So no Ling needed?

[cyan gorge]

No

[ocean kayak]

ST healer

[cyan gorge]

never used Ling once in this event

[ocean kayak]

Oh you need mountain too

[versed hazel]

Mostly all strats online have the blue woman

[versed hazel]

I wish I had mountain

Mountain, Blaze, and Exu are my unicorns

[proud drift]

What is meant by explode directly?

[fierce mauve]

kill them without them being blocked (and thus spawning units)

[versed hazel]

Mean kill them with no one blocking them

[ocean kayak]

Uh anyone who can hold against the sweepers

[proud drift]

[ocean kayak]

You have eyja?

Or a strong Caster?

[proud drift]

HG try to write something useful challenge (impossible)

[versed hazel]

Yes

[ocean kayak]

Then you can clear ISS5 CM with stall strat

Hold on

[versed hazel]

I have and S3 M3 Hejaz

Ejya

[ocean kayak]

You’ll need s2 but s7 is fine

[versed hazel]

Stupid autocorrect

[cyan gorge]

@versed hazel Well you can look at what I did and get an idea

[versed hazel]

Cool thanks I will check it out

[ocean kayak]

Do you have sora/skalter

[versed hazel]

No

Neither

[ocean kayak]

Slightly harder but still doable

Saria?

• Lappy?

[versed hazel]

No, now you’re making me feel bad lol

[ocean kayak]

What about blemshine

[versed hazel]

Lappy yes

[ocean kayak]

E2?

[versed hazel]

Blemy yes

Both E2

[ocean kayak]

Hold on

Gg?

[versed hazel]

Oh wait Blem is E1, apologies

[ocean kayak]

Ceobe works too

[ocean kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-carell-the-office-yikes-this-is-the-worst-cringe-gif-21219465

@versed hazel do you have Mudrock or pennance

[versed hazel]

I have Mud

E2

I’m gonna borrow a Ling just to get this stage over with

[frigid kite]

Btw

Tomorrow is last day of IS right

Im kinda tired of IS-S-5

[civic nest]

its either today or tomorrow

iirc

[light flame]

32 hours

[ocean kayak]

Stall strat betterrrrr

[snow bronze]

stall strats 💀

[cyan gorge]

why stall when you can just kill

[snow bronze]

playing stall for actual general content stages is a huge skill issue

[sharp wadi]

Stall what?

[ocean kayak]

It’s actually an AFK strat

[cyan gorge]

Afk is cringe, just play the game

[ocean kayak]

Slightly afk without the whole team but stil

[ocean kayak]

Wym arknights ftw

[sharp wadi]

Back to swing classic

[cyan gorge]

When you realize birdknights is just button mash simulator
Fia s2, Cheeto s2, Bibeak, Passenger

[orchid marlin]

Tsuki carry just happened

[ocean kayak]

Birdknights

I use Abyssalknights and Arknights

[cyan gorge]

Okay

[ocean kayak]

Tf is tsuki doing there…. What does she even do

[orchid marlin]

Helped me insta kill the invi archer that kept giving me hard time in middle lane

[frigid kite]

Poor Silverash ceased existing

Replaced with a Deer

[orchid marlin]

lol yea I had to use ash for the first one, then tsuki took over after that

[sharp wadi]

Cage bait and drop

[ocean kayak]

Imma be honest idek whst tsuki does…. Skalter+Mountain+Shining was enough to solo those snipers

[orchid marlin]

I had nothing that could stand up to it block wise it 2 shot my toughest guys and I couldn't spare a healer to cover whoever was there

She revealed it when it appeared and it died instantly to chen, rosa

I didn't have anyone to reveal the last invi archer so it just wrecked everything in its path. Had to throw bodies all the way to the end, was literally inside the red box when it died.

[cyan gorge]

I just blocked it with Monst3r, or just used Texas + Shamare

[orchid marlin]

I wish I had monster, my draft is super weak on dps so I almost always have to borrow a dps and most of the time its chen.

[gentle finch]

bro said he does abyssals

but didn't use skadi to solo cleaners

[ocean kayak]

Chen or chalter Chen

[orchid marlin]

Alter? the one with water cannon that goes psh psh squeek*

I need chen rehab, my who draft is built around a borrowed unit xD

[foggy grove]

should have pulled uncle

so you can ahve uncle rehab

[orchid marlin]

Is that a Arknights joke?

[little yacht]

I just beat is3 boss 2 by letting him walk through the exit lmao, that felt impossible to beat normally.

[lucid mirage]

Lee is a hard counter to him. Dorothy stalls him a lot too, but not as much as Lee. Also, GG s3 can ignore the freeze and still deal dmg to him. There's also a stall strat using iirc erato, mr nothing and kafka. But really I just borrow Lee.

[eager turtle]

how can i kill this boss without schwarz? exusiai doesn't have enough dmg

even if i buff with Warfarin

[teal hollow]

How do talulah fireball thingy work

[cyan gorge]

big arts damage that you can block

[foggy grove]

what do you have
typewriter can kill it or maybe try iffie s3

[lucid mirage]

Let him leave then beat him to death with various helidroppers.

Or borrow schwarz

[foggy grove]

you can also bait with lee

[sonic willow]

ash + warf kills

better marksman

[foggy grove]

exu taking an l

[sonic willow]

since 2021

[eager turtle]

i got a Fartoth on support, thx guys

[limpid siren]

wtf exusiai vs ash in 2023

both bad

[glass monolith]

Kroos alter you casuals

[tidal sedge]

[latent monolith]

Just use typewriter

My typewriter was barely short of soloing but my pozy was M2 so

[foggy grove]

typewriter can solo yeah

[latent monolith]

Imagine needing 2 deploy slots for one enemy

[foggy grove]

while poze helping another lane

[latent monolith]

When you can use none

[latent monolith]

You know what else kills

My warf is just M1

[foggy grove]

now try krooster

[latent monolith]

May work with maxed krooster (mine already M3) and an M3 warf

I waited for the 4 hit before activating warf skill too

[gentle finch]

u should aak her instead

im gonna do that

bro walks out early huh

8/10 enemies

[foggy grove]

but that means needing shining and skalter

[latent monolith]

Or get a CN acc with silence alter

[gentle finch]

i have

both

[turbid badge]

water m3 shining + mod?

[gentle finch]

yes

nah bro she isn't

you got lied to

[turbid badge]

loll

[gentle finch]

aak superior

fr fr

[frigid kite]

How about

Just Skalter S2

[gentle finch]

reread what you just sent

is that really fun

[frigid kite]

Gotta find fun on simplicity

[gentle finch]

well skalter S3 would be better anyways

but real ones use stainless S1

[frigid kite]

Exu's bullet skin

[stone rover]

is there anything that can save penance from vehicular manslaughter when she’s defending the left lane in IS-S-5

tried gravel+Texas

But probably not enough gravel+Texas

[gentle finch]

she needs M2 or M3

and probably level 40+

[frigid kite]

Well

She destroyed him

[cyan gorge]

Perfumer talent

[gentle finch]

also pretty sure Texas help is enough

[stone rover]

Shes e2 lvl 40 and currently working on M2

[gentle finch]

only thing will kill your

penance

is boss fear

[stone rover]

yeah but just once

I’d have to stall the next car with gravel before being able to use Texas again

and I think I need gravel

don’t remember

[cyan gorge]

also Shamare if you have her

[stone rover]

i do not

[cyan gorge]

rip

I had to use Perfumer's passive heal to keep Penance afloat

not that mine really needed it

[stone rover]

When does she get that

[cyan gorge]

E1

[stone rover]

ight

[cyan gorge]

my perf is e2 with mod3 and s2m3

alternatively you can try Penance s2

since it has sanctuary

[gentle finch]

next car

[cyan gorge]

basically damage reduction

[gentle finch]

i dont remember needing to help her twice

maybe your skill timings are off

[stone rover]

I’ve been using s2 the whole time just for the damage reduction

[cyan gorge]

Ah

[stone rover]

this subway Wi-Fi is off the goop man

[stone rover]

they are

[cyan gorge]

my clear used s3 so idk what the s2 timings are

[scarlet ledge]

omg is that zenith

[cyan gorge]

It is I

[gentle finch]

nro

used S2

[stone rover]

I think I need to swap my Chen and blaze to have Chen kill cleaners and blaze protect right lane

[gentle finch]

I'm actually dead

[stone rover]

cause the mfs that come after my chalters skill ends always fuck me up

[stone rover]

[stone rover]

don’t worry I abandoned this long ago

[gentle finch]

ive never tried a strat without mudrock

at middle

[stone rover]

I guess she can tank 2 hits with 0 damage

If lucky 3 hits

[open ridge]

how do i use penance effectively i feel like shes not doing enough damage/killing enough to keep her shield up

[gentle finch]

not for that

her S3 handles them nicely

[gentle finch]

S3?

[stone rover]

if only I had her e2

[gentle finch]

once her skill up she most likely won't die to most stuff

[stone rover]

nuh uh shes e2 40

[gentle finch]

i respect the effort though

ohk

ohh mudrock

[stone rover]

what’s mudrocks s3

I see

[cyan gorge]

First off you need to make sure she's in a lane with a steady stream of enemies where she can use her high atk and reflect talent to get kills and stack shields, which does require some map knowledge.
a lot of high def targets is where you'd use her s2
s3 is great where she an tank a decent amount of hits without killing her then refresh a huge chunk of her shield with skill
she falters against dot and hard hitting mobs that outpace her shield gen without other fodder to feed the shield

[stone rover]

what skill and what lvl?

[gentle finch]

mines M3

[cyan gorge]

I've never tried a strat with Mudrock

[gentle finch]

a guy i gave a strat to worked at sl7

well two guys

[stone rover]

with what skill

[gentle finch]

S3

needs e2 40+

well idk if she needs it but

definitely recommended

[stone rover]

Oh come on of course it’s these damn mats

[gentle finch]

don't sweat it

s stages meant to be hard

[somber falcon]

@stone rover does your chen have any masteries?

[stone rover]

1 mastery on s2&3

[gentle finch]

she needs some slight help for this though, like Texas alter, but the main point is she can handle one during blood debt solo relatively unscathed. it's just she doesn't once cycle the guy and she does too little damage so she blocks him while he's on low HP but never actually kills him. she'll die/leak if he's still alive by the next blood debt

[scarlet ledge]

s3 mud good

[gentle finch]

@iggy who next

oops

@limpid siren

eh i will read when i wake up, I'm gonna sleep

[scarlet ledge]

@gentle finch u have leizi raised?

or no

u can go with astegenne

or if u lacking arts dps

go rockrock

[proud drift]

is it uh

normal for

assassin to

100% to 0% hp

an e2 70 mlynar

in one shot

[scarlet ledge]

kek

[proud drift]

on god there's absolutely zero fucking reason they do so much damage while also being unsurtrable

[scarlet ledge]

s stages?

[proud drift]

WHILE ALSO HAVING INVISIBILITY

ex 7 cm atm

[scarlet ledge]

oh

have fun s stages extra stat then

[proud drift]

I just witnessed my mlynar full hp

[scarlet ledge]

with cm too

[proud drift]

explode in microsecond

ok father agenir might have something to do with it

cause I just found out he apparently applies a def down

[foggy grove]

yeah blame the father

normally he can take a few

[proud drift]

well

salvaged it I guess?

[latent monolith]

It's 300 def down per ammo and stacks

[proud drift]

PER AMMO??

[latent monolith]

Just pozy him out of existence

or exu warf

using exu is funny though

[tidal sedge]

I use schwarz on him

[proud drift]

you know I haven't used poze in so long

[noble pewter]

I used goldengloe

[proud drift]

I have too many good units

that I forget about some of them

[latent monolith]

Needing gg to target a specific enemy

[proud drift]

(such as goldenglow and poze)

[tidal sedge]

use lappdumb for ez win

[latent monolith]

"I used lappdumb at the opportune moment and the entire mafia fell"

[frigid kite]

Goldenhoe

[latent monolith]

lore accurate lappdumb

[proud drift]

does lappdumb do something in this event

[latent monolith]

Not really

[tidal sedge]

lappdumb use yamato to obliterate the mafia

[latent monolith]

Man I need one rma to M3 pozy and the stage gives me a grindstone side drop

(green cert exhausted)

[frigid kite]

Ice break shop will Dell, just wait 1 entire day

[tidal sedge]

[latent monolith]

no rma

It does have t4 maganese though which I do need

[stone rover]

ok so this works up until phase 2 where the dawg and car+intimidator fucks up the right side

[proud drift]

wtf

why the fuck does it point down

if he walks left

??????????

[stone rover]

that’s just a way to say it’s a stair exit

[proud drift]

okay but it could point left

to signify the exit is to the left

not down

because that's what it usually is

[stone rover]

Yeah it could but zaaro’s built different he don’t need to follow no signs

[tidal sedge]

[proud drift]

well it seems I need to re-cook stuff anyways

because I didn't know assassin spawns at the top left

[stone rover]

btw why did y’all let me cook bro this strat is ass

[noble pewter]

Just clear the mooks n when father only guy on map use gg s3 he takes a lot of hits, n invisible assassins get ignored so it's a win

[latent monolith]

How did you deal with the assasins in the stage then

[zealous geyser]

+hoshi+silence+ptil upgraded
don’t mind the flametail

need strat+squad is-s-5, i cant kill boss 2nd phase and keep getting destroyed by cleaner

i got at least 80 attempts help

[somber robin]

blocking boss 2nd phase isn't necessary

[frigid kite]

Try the Kal Mlynar strat

[zealous geyser]

yeah because bro oneshots you

[zealous geyser]

don’t i need ling or smth

[somber robin]

just retreat everything on the right (assuming ur holding him there) and place ur biggest damage numbers in the mid lane and let him walk there

[frigid kite]

Nope

[zealous geyser]

why kal

[frigid kite]

Well

[somber robin]

i had chalter and amiya s3 punk him up

[frigid kite]

You can use Ling instead

[zealous geyser]

i cant defend left side without king

[somber robin]

try spalter with healing to deal with cleaners

[zealous geyser]

i think my best attempt with ling but this boss not dying to texas+mlynar+ling

[turbid badge]

how?

with mlynar right

wtf

[zealous geyser]

how do i hold right side

[turbid badge]

what ya doing

[zealous geyser]

man idk

it’s not working

he’s not dying

[frigid kite]

Maybe he is not putting Mlynar correctly

[zealous geyser]

i have like a third of hp left

[frigid kite]

You need to put him 2 tiles afar from the boss

Or he will get reduced Aspd on 2nd phase

[somber robin]

just don't lol

[zealous geyser]

i place him at blue box right

[somber robin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/669489344658014208/1117526712490659840/image0.jpg

i let the boss walk to mid lane and he couldn't even touch hoshi

[zealous geyser]

do i need e2 hoshi

for this

[somber robin]

for 1st phase probs not

[zealous geyser]

is amiya really helpful?

[somber robin]

2nd phase he's not even touching hoshi the way i did it

[frigid kite]

With S3

[somber robin]

any other ops is fine, my dps options are just really limited

[zealous geyser]

i don’t have any other casters upgraded

[somber robin]

i used a maxed chalter and lvl40 s3l7 amiya

so it'll probs work for u too

[zealous geyser]

should i borrow chen?

or

[somber robin]

sure

try anything u feel fits ur current squads

[zealous geyser]

idk if i can actually manage to hold lane well tho

[somber robin]

1st phase is ezz

[zealous geyser]

is it bad i fail the 1st phase sometimes

[somber robin]

just make sure to bring bait

i mean

[zealous geyser]

i blame the cleaners

[somber robin]

absolutely

[zealous geyser]

they’re the real bosses in this event

[noble pewter]

Had a hoshi deployed last in range every other op, assassin will target her first as they walk n get blocked by her n die as they reveal themselves to everyone else

[latent monolith]

What about agenir's attacks and the healing you used

I doubt a 0 def hoshi can tank a cleaner

[noble pewter]

Think gg nuked him down b4 he atked anyone really

[latent monolith]

But you said you let all the enemies die first, those two are mutually exclusive

The dude has global range during blood debt

[noble pewter]

I'm pretty sure there is significant downtime btw fresh enemy spawn n boss appear

[stone rover]

Ok so I tried hoshi s2 with shining and nightingale to protect the middle lane and it works up until the second blood debt triggers

Then they shred it apart

[latent monolith]

There are multiple enemies on field when the boss appears

First blood debt, already 0 def

Unless you exu warf the boss at spawn the first blood debt will trigger before you can kill him

[somber robin]

[latent monolith]

Each ammo takes off 300 def and it stacks

[somber robin]

yeah but

why have penance tank

[latent monolith]

I was just demonstrating that their idea had issues

[zealous geyser]

wait what that guy takes off def?

[latent monolith]

Yeah

[zealous geyser]

no wonder i struggled on that stage early on

surtr the stage ez

[latent monolith]

Also you need at least 3/4th of gg's skill to exclusively target that guy to kill him on NM, more on CM

[somber robin]

solution: chalter

[latent monolith]

Why chalter when pozy

Requires less dp

[zealous geyser]

cant you surtr face up or smth

[somber robin]

chalter more crowd control

[latent monolith]

Yeah but the issue is the boss

[zealous geyser]

surtr best solution

[latent monolith]

No

That tile is undeployable

[proud drift]

y'know

[somber robin]

boss is ez

[zealous geyser]

oh you mean the pew pew guy?

[proud drift]

skalter for some reason makes the assassins

not as big of a threat

[latent monolith]

Pozy also has a whole 12s less of a warm up than chalter does

[somber robin]

skalter is the threat

[zealous geyser]

ngl i remember i just didn’t defend middle lane and tanked + surtr

3 healer squad

[stone rover]

is there any hope of me completing S-5 cm with this
I’m using myrtle and Cantabile to generate DP
Penance to hold left lane
Blaze with chalter on right lane
Both medics simultaneously healing right and middle hoshi holding middle
still using vigil to bait

[noble pewter]

I dunno man, seems pretty empty to me, didn't even deploy hoshi, ling silverash or texas alter for me

[latent monolith]

Well you did spawncamp the upper middle enemies

Otherwise there would be enemies on the field

[noble pewter]

why would u not spawn camp if u can spawn camp

[somber robin]

what's ur damage option to deal with cleaners

[latent monolith]

Not everyone can always spawn camp

Also you have skalter buffing gg which is really big

And stainless

[stone rover]

can’t check rn

[latent monolith]

Assuming lvl 60 gg that increases her damage from just under 40k to 61k

Which is not a small difference

[noble pewter]

He using the fast recharge my strat is deploy skalter n gg fast then spam s3 gg always, so the gg was spawn camping everyone n father come out it is ready again

Anyways I was just saying how I did it, everyone can do it their own way

[latent monolith]

That's still a lot of skill damage and batterying that isn't included in "just use gg"

Unlike say pozy or exu warf where you really just need to point at him and turn on the skill

[noble pewter]

I said I use gg I didn't say everyone shud use gg

[limpid siren]

finish teq
then rockrock or astgenne, probably astgenne

[stone rover]

Texas alter

[cyan gorge]

Texas dies to them tho

[latent monolith]

[scarlet ledge]

omg so pro

[latent monolith]

When you say a strategy you used it can easily be taken as a recommendation unless you specify other conditions

[scarlet ledge]

i didnt use gg

i use minimalist

[limpid siren]

cringe!

[noble pewter]

Ya that's a response to how one can get her to target a specific enemy n that is to clear the field of every other enemy, which is not the easiest thing but it is how it can be done n how I done it in the long continuing thread of how I did it with gg, as u had constantly questioned me of how that is possible n said that my strategy is questionable, if somehow I have given anyone the wrong impression that my statement was meant as a optimal strategy or the best strategy to use then I apologise all I meant to say is that it can be done, albeit not easily for most perhaps

[stone rover]

no I block them with hoshi and deal damage with Texas

[scarlet ledge]

wtf

[stone rover]

What timing should I use with penance S3?

When defending left lane in IS-S-5 CM

[cyan gorge]

I use it the moment it comes up

or to bash open a car

[somber falcon]

will fuck her up if zaaro is still in p1 tho

[stone rover]

why

Should I not bait the fear?

[cyan gorge]

Penance dies to fear

it bypasses her barrier

[stone rover]

yeah

but I bait it so doesn’t apply to me

[cyan gorge]

I think I killed boss p1 before fear even became a factor

[latent monolith]

Penance has taunt you can't bait the fear away from her

[stone rover]

I could do that too but then chalters skill doesn’t last enough to kill the car that comes after it ends

[stone rover]

oh yeah right

[latent monolith]

Unless you use like mlynar lee and bubble deployed after her

I solved this by waiting for the first fear before activating penance's skill, and then nuking the boss with ntr S3 + some other stuff

[cyan gorge]

Penance can solo cars, but i don't think e2 40 s3m1 will cut it
maybe if e2 60 s3m3

[somber robin]

just use s2

[somber falcon]

Texalt can pitch in to help but his right side is still gonna be harsh

[latent monolith]

E2 60 S3M1 did fine for me but I did have guard chen up for a decent amount of time, I redeployed for the last couple cars but that was more because the right side was completely dead rather than her needing it

[cyan gorge]

My right side was just Texalt + a defender

e1 Cuora was enough

[latent monolith]

Where did you kill the boss

[cyan gorge]

top left

Pozy + shamare burst

[latent monolith]

I did top right, so I could penance solo left kal solo middle and throw everything on the right

[stone rover]

I think I’ll use s2, s3 is not working as well for me

[stone rover]

S2 works but it doesn’t charge fast enough to use it for all cars

[somber robin]

worked for me tho

[cyan gorge]

I kinda want to try s2 myself, but I have her s2m3

[stone rover]

Right side is doing just fine it’s the middle and left that needs fixing

[somber robin]

maybe just a timing thing

[stone rover]

I somehow need to use texalter to help with middle and left lane

[somber falcon]

Try using penance s2 instead then
It doesn't have taunt

[stone rover]

.

[somber falcon]

Ah i see

[stone rover]

I just tried s3 once and It did not work

[somber falcon]

For mid try using bag s3, it can hold up quite well against cleaner

[stone rover]

bagpipe?

[somber falcon]

Ye

[stone rover]

doesn’t need any masteries?

[somber falcon]

• healer

Uhhh

[stone rover]

Yeah I have 2 there already

[somber falcon]

Gonna need help to kill but she should be able to live

Just proc the skill when cleaner start attacking her

[stone rover]

I have wasted so much damn sanity just by forgetting to change something in my squad or a slight misplacement

[latent halo]

[stone rover]

oh my god

[cyan gorge]

s2 wasn't too bad but yeah I can see how the timing would be tight if I didn't have the skill at m3

[stone rover]

My gravel was using shadow assault instead of rat storm the whole time

does mon3tr get affected by fear?

[cyan gorge]

yes

as I said, p1 dies before that even becomes a factor

since it targets the civilians first

[stone rover]

what’s horn doing there

[cyan gorge]

blocking and later hitting the boss

[somber falcon]

Well he can't really burst p1 that fast tho, that's the problem

[stone rover]

doesn’t zaaro just walk past that

[cyan gorge]

I let him walk then place Horn there

[stone rover]

yeah but doesn’t horn have a 2x3 attack range that’s 2 squares ahead of her

what is she gonna hit there

[cyan gorge]

The boss will eventually walk out top left where Penance is

and step into Pozy and Horn range

[stone rover]

does horns range increase in e2?

[cyan gorge]

one tile more

[stone rover]

oh that makes sense then

[cyan gorge]

Horn isn't necessary, it's kinda overkill for my particular strat

I just needed a 3 block to stall car for Texalt to do her thing

[latent monolith]

Horn S2 is based though

[cyan gorge]

Proud m9 Horn enjoyer

[latent monolith]

Me lacking M9 mats, only M8 so far

Have a couple more masteries to do first (like the pozy M3 I'll start once I get mats from BI shop)

[stone rover]

my brain has gone completely smooth from this

I somehow managed to fuck up the strat even more than yesterday

[cyan gorge]

there's always next year

[somber robin]

it can't be that bad right

[stone rover]
