strategy

[turbid badge]

and elyisum

s2

slow

And -def reduction

so u have 1 slot left for texas

and also can bring more goodies

wgz what risk u stop at

[edgy stag]

right, one thing i remember from using horn before was that she died to the trash coming from the top eventually without a healer

on r18 it was fine cause it just triggered her passive but with higher risks i think shes just gonna eat shit

[turbid badge]

shining cant heal her orr

[edgy stag]

oh she can, i just wasnt sure if i was still using her

uh wait. how horn

not enough dp

[turbid badge]

o

do u not produce enough

[edgy stag]

i think i can do the thing they do in the texalter solo to stall lol

oh wait no that wont work cause hp changes timings rip

[peak stump]

Sad

[edgy stag]

realistically i think i need a 2 block vanguard that wont fall over if i wanna do this

[latent anvil]

Yea... People use bagpipe on skill, saga, or flametail generally (totally not all the 6 star competent vgs)

[turbid badge]

wow mizuki ate the spye

me like leite

me cry

vanguard route hard to deal with caster

[near pond]

Why you don't put mizuki in the box tho?

[turbid badge]

carbelian

[turbid badge]

idk

[near pond]

Risk 18?

[turbid badge]

26

[near pond]

Ah no wonder

[turbid badge]

fuck

my carnelian provider dipped

cri

lmao i have to use mint

[near pond]

Ntnt

[turbid badge]

surley mint s2 would disrupt caster attack

ew she attacks too slow

[sly drift]

Does this work on r26. Having mizuki on this diff seems like a meme

[turbid badge]

No

lol

Need more dps

probably just add carnelian and mlynar and win

lol

eyja dps too low for the dockwarkers

maybe if i add suzu

ah ill try later when i have carnelian friend

[scarlet ledge]

ya

[turbid badge]

me teta wish i built firewatch for caster

d

lowest defense atack

or ambriel

@scarlet ledge

me no dp

[scarlet ledge]

you can use

chetto plus texas s3

texas s3 cancel ic caster attack

[turbid badge]

me no cheto

[scarlet ledge]

so chetto have time to attack

thats i use on cn r26

[scarlet ledge]

rip

what ur grab

[turbid badge]

wat dat

[scarlet ledge]

supp

[turbid badge]

fireaatch

[scarlet ledge]

what angr doing there

[dense stone]

is saga s2 or s3 more dp efficient?

[scarlet ledge]

for regular content s2 is used more

[dense stone]

since it does execute though, its worse if i like using her as a sp battery correct?

[sonic willow]

S3 is better in general content

[dense stone]

also, i got passenger for integrated strategies, but is there any reason to use him outside of it if i already have goldenglow and eyja for casters?

[foggy grove]

to listen to his va but nah

[neat skiff]

I like my casters so I've used Eyja and Passenger together fairly often.

[scarlet ledge]

i guess its just preference

@sonic willow oh ye how is cc?

[sonic willow]

I just do R18 and dip

[sly drift]

S3 for generating dp.
You use s2 for easy managed burst (kind of)

The urge to M9 skadi for no particular reason

Probably mean a lot for her survival though

[cinder pike]

no spoilers but what skill was texalter for solo r18

[sly drift]

S2?

[cinder pike]

ty

[sly drift]

You need pot 4 though

[eager gate]

is this implying you already m3d her s1?

if so why

[sly drift]

They all have specific niche to be good at
S1 for quick cooldown, S2 for helidrop, S3 for tanking basically everything

But mostly because I love fishes

[eager gate]

are you sure there's a niche for s1

[sly drift]

Pretty sure

Against the croc shielded guy for example

S2 or S3 wouldn't make it in time cos 40s cooldown

[eager gate]

you mean champions from cc6?

[sly drift]

Yea

The idea is very short cooldown. It's useful but rare. We mostly use s2

Wouldn't recommend if you don't play AH squad tho

[eager gate]

isn't it easier to redeploy s2

or even s3 since Specter

[sly drift]

Like I said very short cooldown

[eager gate]

ye her redeploy is 40

and skill needs to run out fully first

which is slower in the end

[sly drift]

With Spectre mod she will need like 23s maybe?

[eager gate]

20 exactly

[sly drift]

Yea whatever it is.

[eager gate]

iirc cc6 window between croc spawns was enough to redeploy aak and durian Hellagur for every new champion

should be enough to just get a new s3 Skadi out if you retreat her as soon as she kills last

probably

gotta wait until this map appears in daily

[umbral escarp]

Can anyone help me clear 5-7? I watched Kyos's guide but I don't think it's applicable for my acc since I'm underleveled af

I'm not looking for a 3* so support units are playable

My acc: https://www.krooster.com/u/Nextis

[sharp wadi]

E2 some shit first

[prisma depot]

thats what i tot

[umbral escarp]

I need to clear this to get to the map that gives me materials for e2

[sharp wadi]

Only this map?

[umbral escarp]

(S5-7)

Idk how long it is until I get to that map

[sharp wadi]

Just level up more at least e1 55

[sonic willow]

Who are you trying to E2?

[umbral escarp]

Cutter

[umbral escarp]

I'm rushing a "cheap" e2 that way I can clear CC using support

[sharp wadi]

If for day one e2 cutter is shit

Go e2 ambiel

E2 ambiel, may and borrow gg

[umbral escarp]

Yall make up your mind... SOme people tell me e2 SA, some Cutter, some Myrtle, and now someone else x)

Who even is ambiel

[sharp wadi]

Sniper bocchi like

[umbral escarp]

you mean vermeil?

[eager gate]

Ambriel is a deadeye sniper with pink hair and a halo

[foggy grove]

Sa/exu is better first e2 but since you are rushing cheap e2 cutter is fine

[eager gate]

SAsh so mid without m3 tho

[umbral escarp]

My problem with SA or Exu is how ridiculously expensive their e2 is

like that'll take me weeks

[sonic willow]

Just e2 silveraah

[foggy grove]

they are expensive but what they bring justify the cost

i wouldn't worry so much rushing for cc sake but it's up to you

[stuck trout]

Should I e2 thorns or mountain first? For flooded seashore

[sonic willow]

mountain

[umbral escarp]

I need help to clear AP-5

Before you tell me to e2 something again, I NEED THIS MISSION TO E2

Like 90% of the advice I've been given here is to just e2 characters. I KNOW

[glass monolith]

You can E2 4 star character which will bypass need to grind AP-5 which apply only to 5-6 star

[sharp wadi]

Why you need AP-5?

[umbral escarp]

Chip catalysts

[sharp wadi]

Why you can't grind AP-4?

[umbral escarp]

I can but it's much less efficient :/

[sharp wadi]

Ah fuck, as I expected

[glass monolith]

Wouldn't call it much less, but if going for like your first e2, why not?

[foggy grove]

if you ahve time you can do is monthly squad

[sharp wadi]

Forget about efficiency, you just do 4

And you e2 without doubt

[umbral escarp]

k

[umbral escarp]

?

[foggy grove]

they have chip pack and catalyst

[sharp wadi]

Or

[weak gazelle]

AP-5 is about managing your aggro and frd/ranged kill the mortar guy
if ap-5 is too much, go the lower one

[umbral escarp]

what is monthly squad

[foggy grove]

integrated strategy

roguelike mode

[sharp wadi]

Used your brain to count order and have atleast e1 max medics

Ez

[umbral escarp]

which one

[foggy grove]

phantom and crimson solitaire

like this squad is pretty easy

[umbral escarp]

I don't have kaltsit

or palaas

[sharp wadi]

It's free

[umbral escarp]

???

[sharp wadi]

Free for that run

I mean temporary

[umbral escarp]

I am so confused

[sharp wadi]

Pick that and you get three ops on the list for one run

[umbral escarp]

what is the thing about

[foggy grove]

basically they give you fixed squad for monthly squad

you start with those 3

[cinder pike]

and you don't get preparation/cognitive bonuses

[umbral escarp]

I've never touched IS

[foggy grove]

you probably should
doing monthly squad gives a lot of resource

[latent anvil]

Every monthly just need to reach floor 3, not beat it

[umbral escarp]

Ye I just did 3 of those, thanks

The free chip catalysts are a blessing

[latent anvil]

Free everything

[umbral escarp]

real

[peak stump]

Most sane AK player

But no candles tho

[latent anvil]

Monthlies give candles I thought

[latent anvil]

Also, it doesn't say 27 on the cc thing which means I suck

[peak stump]

You do suck

Unless you R36 with 3 stars only you're bad

[turbid badge]

ayee

26

[turbid badge]

yes i agree

[latent anvil]

[frozen smelt]

im new at this game, what's the best way to grind for actually good characters?

[latent anvil]

As in pulls? Or to promote stuff

[frozen smelt]

pulls

[latent anvil]

Annihilation gives you 1800 a week when you max it out, clear story for , green cert shop gives a few

[frozen smelt]

hm intresting

[shell olive]

Sandsea remnants is a pain in the butz

[somber robin]

man how tf the permanent map harder than the main cc

[crystal meteor]

how?

[turbid badge]

lol

-50% attack

oh waait

its the arts drones today

hahaha

just chalter wtf

[polar steppe]

are there ways i can improve upon this. i got SSS with it.

[turbid badge]

???

whats sss

Lmao

what risk

[polar steppe]

16

[turbid badge]

r18 pretty easy

maybe get a dedicated dos

dps

aoe

idk why ur using exu

shes not that great here tbh

[polar steppe]

to kill the engineers

[turbid badge]

u dont have better options?

if ur current strat is to let them drown and die to erosion i think u can stick to that

[polar steppe]

everyones doing there job right, i just dont know if i can add more risk by replacing one of them.

[turbid badge]

ofc u can

u may lack dps tho

its only 2 more risks from 16 -> 18

that mizuki spot is pretty wierd

r u using s3

[polar steppe]

s2, he has no medic so s3 would kill him

[turbid badge]

wtf

why there?

i put him above the red box

but i didnt use him on my r26 cuz he could be replaced by angelina

i used to pit him here

he solod the waves of spie guys

with one s2 cycle

[sonic willow]

is this some sort of nicheknight?

or are you actually trying

[polar steppe]

yup

[polar steppe]

dont worry, i got the risk 18 with it.

[turbid badge]

pog

[worthy ermine]

any tips for h11-4

[cosmic thicket]

do you have nian/hoshi

[worthy ermine]

no

[turbid badge]

Shamare,Roberta,

Stainless turret s3

[cosmic thicket]

do you have liskarm + shamare + ptilopsis

[turbid badge]

atk reduction for the boss big attack ,

[worthy ermine]

i have ptilopsis, liskarm is level 1

[turbid badge]

or shields to tank

[cosmic thicket]

Isn't it a triple hit though

[worthy ermine]

will mudrock work

nvm its a triple hit

[glass monolith]

Wait, someone else went damage reduction bullshit for some reason?

[foggy grove]

Smh

[glass monolith]

I went 60% DR Skadi for lulz

[cosmic thicket]

you can also try surtr hospital

[worthy ermine]

so do i just stall with nian

[foggy grove]

You can

Moduled nian is stronk

[worthy ermine]

i borrowed a sl7 level 60 nian for h11-2 to stall phase 1 untill i took down the tree monsters

she just died afterwards

[foggy grove]

No module likely

[worthy ermine]

cheesed phase 2 with surtr texas mlynar

[cosmic thicket]

actually u can do frd splitpush stall

he can be stunned phase 1 so texalter and red good

[worthy ermine]

not in phase 2

phase 1 is easy

[cosmic thicket]

oh phase 2 u can burst ig

[worthy ermine]

yea but i think theres tree monsters

i need to sweep them up before i get it to second phase

which needs stalling

[cosmic thicket]

so stall phase 1 with frd spam, kill trees, win

[turbid badge]

i wonder who

[turbid badge]

lmfao

just borrow max mod lvl 60 nian

Texas s3 can help

[worthy ermine]

im not using s3 for this one

[turbid badge]

It cancels his triple attack in P1 cuz stun

oh

Bring cantaible

[worthy ermine]

why would i

[turbid badge]

Generate dp + destroy trees

??

on s1

[worthy ermine]

thats the worst idea ive ever seen

[turbid badge]

ofc

ho

thats how i did it

exu + canta

[worthy ermine]

or

[turbid badge]

exu kills tree and monster

[worthy ermine]

yknow

[turbid badge]

do u just texas them

lmao

[worthy ermine]

spam texas all around the map

[turbid badge]

lol

Xd

[scarlet fulcrum]

Tree form has 0 def

[turbid badge]

its just canta gets all the benefits from her s1 cuz the tree is stationary

So u get a crap ton of dp + tree is gone

so u set up faster

[worthy ermine]

1 texas deployment is enough to kill the tree and then the monster from the refresh

[turbid badge]

but i guess texas can work

But yeah if u want to have a easier life just borrow max mod nian

[worthy ermine]

i cant find one

[scarlet ledge]

@turbid badge yo

8 ops bears https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/979044811988414494/1122474659137462393/Screenshot_20230625_183015.jpg

ye the unrecorded run is better kek

aurora survive

i guess i mistimed activating her skill early on recorded run

[unique shoal]

Is there any unit that I can support in that solos Challenge Frostnova

[foggy grove]

poze

or exu if you feeling old school

[glass monolith]

Go super old school and go Greythroat

[turbid badge]

JUST PMGIPOZYMYEHOKA

[cosmic thicket]

i agree

[tulip basin]

need assistance in lungman downtown

painful it was

[solid dew]

what were the things that leaked?

[cosmic thicket]

what skill is that ash

[solid dew]

3rd

[cosmic thicket]

what the

[solid dew]

its not mine i can just see that

[tulip basin]

i keep forgetting to change ash's skill

[solid dew]

[cosmic thicket]

yeah use s2

[tulip basin]

I think it was these guys

[cyan gorge]

You don't sleep and win with this?

[tulip basin]

yeah

[solid dew]

so around the end im guessing, with this squad it should be pretty doable, idk why you'd leak, was it just lack of dps and got swarmed/walked past?, or they killed your ground dps (mountain, monst3r etc)

[cyan gorge]

This should be an ez win, it might just be your positioning

[solid dew]

its probably lack of ground towers, he only has 5 including monst3r but one is VG and the other is fast rdp so its more like 3 lol

[gleaming lodge]

lack of blocker
there are four lanes in anni3
you kind of want a 2 blocker in each at least
ideally 3

[smoky swan]

can you show us where you place stuff

[cyan gorge]

@tulip basin Show us what your set up looked like

[tulip basin]

no one died, one past when i wsn't paying attention

yeah give me a second

[gleaming lodge]

(2 blocker = operator with 2 block count)

[tulip basin]

i'm gonna auto after i get more lmd

[tulip basin]

the other past because texas was on cooldown

[gleaming lodge]

you shouldn't need Texas

you should have a stable setup and just afk after the 100 kills mark

[solid dew]

probably get rid of some ranged, and mke sure u can block nearly (or all) lanes

like 3 aa should be fine

probably overkill

[cyan gorge]

Replace GG with another blocker

[gleaming lodge]

.

[cyan gorge]

Kal also isn't ideal since she eats deploy slots and doesn't function well as a medic

[solid dew]

oh right, monst3r counts as a slot right?

[cyan gorge]

yes

[solid dew]

dont have her so wouldn't know

[gleaming lodge]

most things do honestly

except the "funny" ones

that aren't just blockers with attacks

(like Shamare's doll)

[smoky swan]

i like using gg on this stage

[cyan gorge]

he already has Chalter, Eyja, and 2 aa snipers
he doesn't need more ranged

[tulip basin]

i put gg because i wanted to build trust

and funny pink korone

[cyan gorge]

trust doesn't work on anni iirc

[tulip basin]

flabbergasted

shocked, even 😦

[solid dew]

rangednights

[cyan gorge]

You can move your blockers like 2 tiles forward

[tulip basin]

i think that's what i did with mountain later

i'll do it with silverash then

[cyan gorge]

You do need more blockers for middle

like a defender

[smoky swan]

silver ash laneholding

[solid dew]

sa skill 2 maybe? idk

[turbid badge]

it does?

anythign with sanity gives trust

[umbral escarp]

https://krooster.com/u/Nextis
Can I clear 5-7 now?

[turbid badge]

yea

duh u

WTF

e2 sa

alrd

lol

[umbral escarp]

I did a little bit of playing

[solid dew]

speedrunning the game fr

[turbid badge]

Anyways shouldnt be hard

[umbral escarp]

(I did annihilations and cleared the monthly IS stuff and bought some materials from the shop and bought a few sanity refills xd)

[turbid badge]

Just place ur op near the start

near red bix

Than kill them

With ur

Sniper/casters

the chill drones

[umbral escarp]

can you be more precise

"ur op"

[turbid badge]

any op?

[solid dew]

operators 👍

[turbid badge]

like umm

vanguard

good guard

lol

[umbral escarp]

I just kinda lack dp

[turbid badge]

ah just strat with ur Vagngaurds near red box

than develop

and slowly kill drrones

u can also use SA

to kill the drones

[umbral escarp]

e2 sa is underwhelming

[cyan gorge]

Maybe cause he's level 1 with no masteries

[umbral escarp]

real

[turbid badge]

his masteries really good

[umbral escarp]

Is there any valuable support unit usable here?

[latent anvil]

5-7?

[umbral escarp]

ye

[latent anvil]

mountain, silverash maybe

[solid dew]

oh this fun stage

[umbral escarp]

you fr

[latent anvil]

ofc

silverash has good range

[umbral escarp]

i just e2'd sa

[glass monolith]

5-7 is one funny stage with 4 preplaced casters?

[umbral escarp]

no

[latent anvil]

nah, it the one with drones and ton of slug rush

[solid dew]

its the 3 frost drones one

[umbral escarp]

the one with 4 lanes and the drones

[glass monolith]

Oh. Stage which check you for 3 Charger Vanguards which nobody fucking have

[umbral escarp]

fr

I mean I have plume

[latent anvil]

pretty sure that stage is why my plume is levelled

well if you borrow bagpipe ull prob survive early wave+make dp

[cyan gorge]

I remember using Steward and Lapp to carry me through that map

[cosmic thicket]

myrtle fang courier is possible to open with

[glass monolith]

I think i had ange S1

[cosmic thicket]

or was it myrtle plume courier i forgor how i did it

[scenic kestrel]

which one of these would be better to take?

[cyan gorge]

my 5-7 auto
obviously without the e2s back then

[scenic kestrel]

dead chat xd

[umbral escarp]

I don't even have enough dp for Scav/Plume/Myrtle

[glass monolith]

I never had much of experience with second relic. While Scout Scope + Fartooth.... HEHEHEHEHEE

[umbral escarp]

so dead yeah

[scenic kestrel]

right, would it do enough damage with pozy (and maybe even surtr) to kill rhe playwright?

[glass monolith]

Especially IS2 scope. IS3 fucking gave 50% nerf to it

I had Fartooth do 5 digit red number on playwright on spawn with scope

[scenic kestrel]

well yeah its not useful underwater

[umbral escarp]

pfff I fucking hate this level

[glass monolith]

I hated 7-9. Because it was back when i was Chaltering my way through

And then game just says "No"

[turbid badge]

Texas alter

S3

pluma

Eyc

alot of options

[umbral escarp]

this level sucks

WHY DO THEY PUT 1 DRONE UP THERE

[turbid badge]

borrow la pluma

nooo

dont waste ur sanity

[umbral escarp]

It's fine I only wanted one clear anyways

fuck the 3*

[turbid badge]

also saria behind sa was so unnecessary

lol

[umbral escarp]

I kinda just put her because SA wouldn't block everything

shoutout to that one drone on top lane

biggest mf I've ever seen

[cosmic thicket]

Use steward

He prioritizes the drone

[glass monolith]

You will love H stage for Faust

[cyan gorge]

Steward > Amiya for drones

[glass monolith]

How this cursed SSS even works

[solid dew]

me playing SSS for the first time:
but fr the genral strat is to make one character strong af to deal damage, and one to tank everything

[glass monolith]

I just had operator. Regen HP. Out of blue. And only reason i can come up with, is Angelina who is deep below stacks somehow still giving her passive

[solid dew]

maybe you had someone like perfumer? idk i dont think thats how it works lol
ill see

[glass monolith]

That's the thing. No medics. Angelina, Sora, Heidi. And Astgenne who was regenning HP was outside their range

[solid dew]

honestly, no clue, seems kinda scuffed ngl

somethings probably off

[glass monolith]

Average day in AK

Anyway, finished stupid SSS cap of this month

[cosmic thicket]

Wait if that's actually a thing that is so funny

[scenic kestrel]

which one of these would be better for the playwright stage?

[gleaming lodge]

iirc there are no Sarkaz

but it might come in handy in floor 6 emergency

-15% mvsp is cool but if you don't plan to play shifters it won't do much

[scenic kestrel]

well, my team is pretty powerful so i guess I'll just get Angelina's inspiration

[gleaming lodge]

huh

that's the opposite of what I said but ok

-15% mvsdp down is still strong

if you die on Sarkar Desire, I warned you

[scenic kestrel]

i didn't die, anyways i have another question: after killing how many enemies does the playwright appear? i want to place surtr, pozy at the perfect time to help out fartooth to kill him

[ionic mortar]

I am having trouble with S2-12

[latent anvil]

Playwright is end4? He just walk out himself, not kill gated

[scenic kestrel]

uhm yeah, but like, you know what forget it

[steep tartan]

: ) when u have to mod platinum and u have to do that fking god damn stage AGAIN

[pearl sentinel]

Are there any 4 blocks for cc challenge besides cuora?

[cosmic thicket]

Some defenders with module

[latent anvil]

hoshi mod, nian

[cosmic thicket]

Gavialter with s3 can block 5

[turbid badge]

YES

MODULE 4 BLOCK MODULE

AND

AND

OPERATORS THAT +BLOCK

but like

Why??

oh cc challenge

Lmao

[crystal meteor]

just abuse range ops

[turbid badge]

heidi cycling s2 nian s3 cycling for any defender

3 block defender*

and pallas

s3

[sonic willow]

does mangodragon appear in h9-6

[cosmic thicket]

yes

[sonic willow]

god dammit

[cosmic thicket]

bro u haven't seen her in the first 5 stages

of course she's appearing in the 6th

[sonic willow]

[sonic willow]

ok, I kinda got it now

[solid dew]

at least its better then the H10 stages where manfred appears in all of them

[sonic willow]

I did H10 before H9

[solid dew]

[hardy fog]

what are the high grade relics in is3

[solid dew]

nvm then

[hardy fog]

if this doesn't include the aspd one I'm skipping

and get shield

[turbid badge]

lmao have u not read strategy enough for this simple😭😭

[sonic willow]

I need to see it to believe it

[frigid kite]

You are right there is no Mandarina on H9-6

[solid dew]

nothing happened in H9-6
🗿

[sonic willow]

I see mangodragon now

dying cause some mobs from bottom left go to right box

why can't these shits from red to one blue not trying to rmb this

[turbid badge]

Yea theres none

km pretty sure i havent seen code name Mandarina anywhere

nor mangodragon

[sonic willow]

Least chaotic clear

[cyan gorge]

I still need to do that shit

[sonic willow]

💀

need to do H8 and then I'm done

apart from some CMs I skipped

[cyan gorge]

h9-6 is the only thing I'm missing from the main story

all cms done

[sonic willow]

time to watch kyo and see how non-rarity abuse did it

[cyan gorge]

I'm pretty sure my account is built enough to rarity aboose

[cosmic thicket]

the only h stages i haven't done are h9-6 and h10-3

cms are whatever

[sonic willow]

it's so funny how refraction is supposed to hold surtr back, but it just killed all casters instead

[cosmic thicket]

should have made it do 70% arts dodge instead

[cyan gorge]

so how to kill Mandra as a non Mlynar/Chalter haver

[sonic willow]

drop rocks on her

[full marlin]

Amiya, unironically, if you don't want to bother with roccs

[cyan gorge]

s3m0 can kill?

[cosmic thicket]

or kal

[sonic willow]

phase 1 mangodragon more troublesome than phase 2

[cosmic thicket]

is that bc there's just more shit to deal with

[sonic willow]

because I can't drop a rock on her and burst

[cyan gorge]

Can I just NTRK s3 phase 1?

[cosmic thicket]

you can but mandra will probably destroy ur ntrk aspd

[cyan gorge]

okay so bait the beam then block with the blazing sun

Okay the early rush is more brutal than I thought

[sonic willow]

2 lane swarm start

[cyan gorge]

I can't defend both

3 lane swam actually

I only have enough dp to set up for one

I saw a gargoyle and I already don't want to do this anymore

[sonic willow]

watching it back forgot that you can use pillars to down other pillars

made h9-5 so much harder than it needed to be

[cyan gorge]

wtf do you even do for bottom

I've tried SA, Surt, Gavalter and they just leak with skill down

[sonic willow]

did surtr into kal

[somber falcon]

Use the centurion with no skill down then

[cyan gorge]

Now i'm losing to hoverboards

also where does Mandra spawn?

[somber falcon]

Left side

[cyan gorge]

Yeah fuck this, I can't kill all these damn gargoyles

[turbid badge]

Dont u have good units tho

[cyan gorge]

I can kill a gargoyle fine, just not half a dozen of them on top of the trash mobs

[turbid badge]

Fianeto

fiametter

[foggy grove]

fiamelter

[cyan gorge]

I don't have a single slot to spare

not enough blockers

not to mention needing an extra medic dedicated to her

I need everyone here just to survive the first 2 waves

[somber falcon]

One of the easier strat is to funnel everyone to mid
And burn them all with

[sonic willow]

if you drop the rocks like this, it becomes a lot easier to manage

[cyan gorge]

I thought I needed every rock for mandra

[sonic willow]

you only need 2 rocks

[turbid badge]

Lmao

[sonic willow]

1 if you burst like crazy like I did

[turbid badge]

come on

Yea

Who ur borrow bruh

borrow someone tf

[somber falcon]

Heck, you can do it with just one for p2 if you're stacked enough

[cyan gorge]

borrowing no one, considering Chalter

[sonic willow]

chalter or mlynar best

[turbid badge]

consider mlynar

[sonic willow]

probably chalter cause the skill is controllable

[turbid badge]

Yea maybe

anyways find@the placements and u should be fine lmao

ur team is stacked for this

[somber falcon]

Wait
You can just texalt the hoverboards and drop them too lmao

[cyan gorge]

Am I almost done

Kal died, terrible position

[sonic willow]

well

[cyan gorge]

there's no reasonable Fia spot

[sonic willow]

below ptilo

[cyan gorge]

Facing right?

but she won't hit the gargoyles I want her to hit

[sonic willow]

you can make this your kill zone

[cyan gorge]

it takes way too long to kill phase 1

Monst3r gets beamed to oblivion

[cosmic thicket]

i like how fia's bullet is right on kal's head

[sonic willow]

sandwich mandragora between surtr and mon3tr

[quartz pendant]

After tedious amounts of thinking, I came up with this multipurpose team

it's a well thought out team, go ahead and ask me as to why I think it's perfect and I won't answer cause I have a smooth brain

[fluid sail]

id kick mulberry & swap her in when there’s elemental dmg which isn’t that often

[quartz pendant]

I'll see what other healer I have

[cosmic thicket]

nice surtr

[quartz pendant]

Listen

I am trying not to use rocks for sanity ATM

I have EXACTLY 24 for Kal'stit skin

[frigid kite]

hmmmm there are still some lot of time before that arrives

and inbetween that lot, a lot of OP too

[quartz pendant]

I have a mental issue where I overthink the negatives

Not risking it

[frigid kite]

aight

better safe

[vernal lion]

there's nothing Exu can't shred kek

[turbid badge]

Hi welcome back to strategy

[turbid badge]

Ng

[quartz pendant]

🖕

[turbid badge]

100%

[quartz pendant]

No I will NOT use the shota fox abomination

Or r durins

[turbid badge]

me when my multipurpose team has 3 unhealable laneholders

[quartz pendant]

Just slap Skalter on them

Ez

[turbid badge]

true

but honestly

if i were u

[turbid badge]

I would get a Healable laneholder too

[quartz pendant]

I have that Scottish girl

[cyan gorge]

I did, both died

[quartz pendant]

The vanguard

Orange hair

[turbid badge]

oh nagpipe

?

[quartz pendant]

Yeah

Bagpipe

[turbid badge]

eh u can stay with saga

[latent anvil]

what stage

[turbid badge]

unless u like using Cantabile s2

[quartz pendant]

Just building her before I replace uhhhh

[latent anvil]

[quartz pendant]

I am using S2 canta

[turbid badge]

quote to quote multi purpose team

Ah lmpog

Stick canta + Bagpipe

instant cast canta s2

btw

but yeah Penance and mudrock kinda overkill for some stages

maybe want like a guard laneholder

[latent anvil]

penance plus mudrock

oh yeah you just said that

[turbid badge]

like gavial alter or something cheaper

[quartz pendant]

Don't have gavail alter

[latent anvil]

also kjera is kinda strange

[quartz pendant]

Idk what even qualify as lane holders

[turbid badge]

Yea loll

Do u not have any better casters than kjera

Lmao

were u the guy that hates amiya

And still have her e1

[latent anvil]

bring flexible ops like ntrk who has 3 usable skills or suzu gg (i see gg) that have 2

[latent monolith]

Can mud S2M1 solo the bottom right of 9-19

(except for the final flying guys ofc)

[turbid badge]

also when i go in blind runs if i ever do in the future i love running dollkeepers lol

[cosmic thicket]

this clear did not go the way i thought it would

[turbid badge]

Cuz theydont die

[vernal lion]

I just didn't make it look too perfect tho

[cosmic thicket]

i thought u were stalling with shamare liskarm

[latent anvil]

i mean the idea of full clear squad is thought about alot but its simply easier to beat the game while swapping units

[turbid badge]

Yea exactly

[latent anvil]

generally if a squad can beat an anniversary event without the ops being changed ur prob flexible enough for most stages tho

ex cm stages, all s stages on cm, etc

[vernal lion]

also, it's my 24th attempt to test if it's possible with Exu burst

kinda mess with calculation

and here is my 9-19 niche

[quartz pendant]

What now

[frigid kite]

@turbid badge need more proof?

[quartz pendant]

PoV: what a boss sees when he has to get past both of them

Alright, what are some decent lane holders besides bagpipe

I don't have Gavail alter

I have specter

Idk if Lapland counts

[latent anvil]

Bagpipe laneholder

Thorns, mountain, blaze, mudrock

Gladiia pluma cope laneholders

[turbid badge]

Irene

aswell

Idk

she seems like one

[latent anvil]

Yea close enough

[copper sun]

Where silly thorn woman

Uhh penance

(I forgot her name)

[copper sun]

Which one?

[copper sun]

Gladiia isn’t a cope laneholder in AH comp

But that’s specific

[latent anvil]

I agree

[copper sun]

Gladiia has literally rotted my brain. I don’t know how I played without her

If there’s two lanes Specalter takes one and Gladiia takes the other

And Andreana shoots from her place while Skadi changes from helping Gladiia to beating the crap out of bosses.

[frigid kite]

Shangshu trails 😦

[copper sun]

I need an AH vanguard

[copper sun]

Need help with it?

[frigid kite]

-60 asp again

[copper sun]

Huh?

[latent anvil]

is that tomorrow

i not wanna deal with max risk tomorrow, but i suppose it cant be worse than todays

[copper sun]

You want to bring ethan and like any chain caster

[copper sun]

I finished it but it was really annoying

I’m doing the smaller challenges now to get the orange coins

[frigid kite]

ah wait tomorrow is CC8

god bless

[copper sun]

Huh

[noble pewter]

How use andreanna? S1 or s2?

[copper sun]

In truth she kinda sucks. S2 offers more atk but the cutoff really ruins her at times. If she’s fighting ground S2 is usable when you have other units to help her but if it’s drones I use S1 if I know she can’t one shot.

[turbid badge]

Yeaa

Sometimes s1 is better choice

In some maps

[copper sun]

Firewatch is a much better unit but the deadeye class as a whole is just bad

[turbid badge]

Especially if ur running AH and shes used for drones

[turbid badge]

Yea

fartooth can be subbed for other operators (pozy, schwarz)only niche she has is she has target priority in her class so s3 is still somewhat useable + big map which her infinite range shines

Lunacub is just worse FW in dps terms but can stay camo forever

Ambriel is just goldenglow but with global Low def targetting being her niche which can be nice to get rid of guys that are troublesome like the dudes that buff enemies +10% onfield , and her target priority going to them cuz they have lowest defense

Deadeye class is really frail in defense and thats really all

[frigid kite]

Last good map for Fartooth that i remember was Free CC stage and maybe for killing Manfred

[turbid badge]

This cc?

shes good for sniping casters

But than pozy

Tirret*

Turret kinda took her role at higher risks + texas

[copper sun]

Using Texas S3 to kill drones

REAL

[turbid badge]

using weedy s3 to kill drones

[copper sun]

I used Gladiia to kill them

[turbid badge]

oh also im talking about the main ccnot daily

shes not that great for the daily cc cuz honestly +drone atk range

which just makes it attack the dude in the middle

but than she could just snipe tham

idk does she two shot

i just used eben to one shot them

[copper sun]

Using Irene S3 to kill drones

[frigid kite]

that was my strat before Mlynar

[turbid badge]

Yeah

Mlynar eats everything

🐴

[copper sun]

Mr Honse truly is a unit

Kills pretty much everything

Poor SA though

[turbid badge]

deadeye gameplay

firewatch fun on this map

[flat sapphire]

There's no drones in permanent map tho?

[turbid badge]

oh that was refering to before

anout fartooth

than i see the long line

in the daily and i was like fart looks decent here

[quartz pendant]

Regular

[copper sun]

She’s not bad. Inferior to her alter post both modules. But her undying niche is still good. I would level her if you DONT have spalter

I have never used chainsaw guards outside of Specter so I can’t say too much. It’s not that I don’t have them I just never bothered leveling. I got Pozy and Gavialter and leveled Pozy because she was the better unit overall. Then I rush leveled all Abyssal Hunters to M6 (working on Skadi now)

[sly drift]

The drones that come from hangar have -lvl taunt. No wonder this shits so annoying

[turbid badge]

?

oh

loll

me when angelina s3 and firewatch low def prioritize

[somber falcon]

Rocketeers: allow us to introduce ourselves

[turbid badge]

YEA EXACTLY

i hate how they hit that tile

like wtf

i used mountain to bait thme

maybe if u deploy fart and thtan bait

[somber falcon]

Ye

[flat sapphire]

Block 3 and aoe comes in handy sometimes. None of the other AH are block 3.

[copper sun]

Bully and in that case I probably would use something else

Or the three block trucks

[flat sapphire]

I mean like spec alt isn't just plain better coz of this

[glass monolith]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/829111228286763015/968816016203321364/bait.gif

[copper sun]

Yes. Though generally seen as less than her alter variant when given her module.

Gravel always finding ways to be useful

Yup

In the one challenge where no fast redeploy

You can use Yato

Or Mon3tr if you want

I guess Skadi with helidrop module works too

But just use Yato

Everyone has her

She doesn’t meed to be leveled even

You just need her to bait and then remove

[glass monolith]

I would just use Vigil but holy fuck drone was not dying at all so i went Yato route

[foggy grove]

You want to level yato for redeploy talent

Else she is just 70s like all unit

[limpid siren]

wtf firewatch abuse

[limpid siren]

they don't if you animation cancel the rocket infantry

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/669489344658014208/1097122804895318046/guh.mp4

it's free real estate

[copper sun]

I forgot that 2* don’t start with their talents

[latent monolith]

I used canta

[limpid siren]

canta giga based for this sandsea daily

0 block and camo means she can slide into top lane and help kill a few idiots there

[latent monolith]

I used her for mortar bait

[limpid siren]

i did too yea

she can pull double duty with how the stage times

good unit tbh

[sonic willow]

that maxrisk

[limpid siren]

that's old

it's the first sandsea daily

but yea max

this one forced 11 ops out of me

maybe i'm getting old too

[sonic willow]

[glass monolith]

I did 2 max risks and both with seal leak

[limpid siren]

broke: 2 leaks
woke: 2 free kills

[sonic willow]

I just ooga booga SA mlynar chalter cycle

[steep tartan]

i think im too dumb to even figure out anything other than risk 8
i rly admire ppl who can get higher on dailies but these drones, yuck

[vernal lion]

just cc and kill it

[turbid badge]

bru

just borrow Mlynar or chalter

im prettyvsure u should have texas

right?

and find any way to kill drone guy safley

extra range, one shot, helidrops

from a distance, invisibility

[peak stump]

Hmm

[scarlet ledge]

@turbid badge done?

[sonic willow]

texas ban 💀

[shell arch]

Hey guys

I have a question

What is the hardest cc ever took place?

Not daily map. Permanent map

Wtfart #strategy is dead

[sonic willow]

hated cc8/10 the most personally, but I don't really do high risk

[shell arch]

I mean i wanted to ask hardest r18 cc, not maxrisk

[sonic willow]

[glass monolith]

Staying awake in CC9 max risk

[gleaming lodge]

Hardest r18 is most certainly Pyrite

Beta wasn't trivial in terms of stats requirements, but the gameplay was fairly simple

just Cuora chilling

[shell arch]

Trueing

I guess it's normal for me to not have the pyrite trimmed medal, right?

[cedar hound]

Normal

[lapis hornet]

wtf amigo

dalao medal revoked

[soft crystal]

imo in recent memory hardest r18 was probably the Near Light one

cc8?

cc10 is close second ig

[glass monolith]

I spawn killed CC10 ass so hard i forgot Fartooth exists for CC11

HP 3 DP DOWN 3

CC8

WHAT THE F-

At least i should be able to spawn kill cancers with no light limitation

[gleaming lodge]

I don't have it either don't worry
I got stuck in r17w1
Truly tragic

[sonic willow]

The bane of my existence

[foggy grove]

blue woman calling

[gleaming lodge]

No defender ban

[sonic willow]

This is not cool

[lapis hornet]

cc10 was weird

like you certainly had to work to find a strat you couldn't just wing it

but once I found one I went from r13 to r24 to r26 within 30 mins

[glass monolith]

DP down 3 is your defender ban

[foggy grove]

oh you can freeze vivi

[gleaming lodge]

I'm not taking it

[foggy grove]

okay today max is not that hard

[glass monolith]

WHY ARMORLESS ASSASSINS HAVE HIGHER ARMOR THAN ARCHERS

[gleaming lodge]

Because they are melee units

[glass monolith]

I mean global cancer, sorry i can't say for sure because ENEMY INFO DON"T SHOWS UNTIL WIN

[shell arch]

Omg my brother

[sonic willow]

give me ALL THE VANGUARDS

[proud topaz]

Help

Please

I beg y’all

I want the medal

This is my operator squad

[sonic willow]

I'd like to help, but I haven't got to doing h8-3

[soft crystal]

man its satisfying to use penance to reflect the bow people for this daily

[ionic mortar]

I am having trouble with 2-10

[sonic willow]

#strategy message

[scarlet ledge]

fuck cc8

hardest?

hm pyrite for me

i didnt expriences ccbeta

i onyl did r11

cause im fishbrain that time

[gleaming lodge]

I also don't have CC#9 trim because I was bored of CC iirc

[glass monolith]

CC9 was first time i went above 18. But i used Burst strat because fuck eggs

[sly drift]

You mean R18?

[scarlet fulcrum]

They meant the 2nd week

[timid acorn]

You can use Pozëmka and/or Silverash for the drones, Lee S3, Gamiya S1, Mon3tr and a Nightingale Cage to block the fireball waves and 2 FRDs to bait Talulahs DoT then pray for RNG because both Lee and Amiya rely on it to survive fireballs. Depending on your positioning you might want to bring another medic as well and as for the other slots fill them with whatever you need

[sly drift]

Yea but how many risk we are talking about
Each cc have different max risk

[scarlet ledge]

@scarlet fulcrum ye my strat got fucked up so bad on r27 caster route

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh yeah caster route is sus since above #3 , their main purpose stall since then

Well not bad this time ig

[scarlet ledge]

[scarlet fulcrum]

[scarlet ledge]
