[scarlet fulcrum]

2nd daily my iris too weak, i used platina to help her camping top

[scarlet ledge]

i only recorded perma clear

[scarlet fulcrum]

Cake dalao dont trust that

[scarlet ledge]

@scarlet fulcrum anyay excited for absinthe module too

extra dps for my bears

lul

[lapis hornet]

are you questioning my integrity smh

[scarlet fulcrum]

[weary perch]

Btw, I thought Texalter was crucial for this CC. She didn’t do much on my runs. Horn was better at clearing lower mob.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah same, she will be mod3 for me ig

[sonic willow]

absinthe the real afk caster

[scarlet ledge]

you will user her alot on high risk

she can help delay shit

[sonic willow]

can't use texas when she's banned all the time

[scarlet fulcrum]

Max daily fr 🛐

[scarlet ledge]

omg simple is here

so dalao

[sonic willow]

wtf leite

[scarlet ledge]

@sonic willow oh ye i got cucked on two aurora pots

got bp and pram dupe instead

she gonna be pot 5 but hg said no

[weary perch]

Heh. Can’t do normal helidrop on max risk this daily. So dropped Mudrock for the lulz.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Specialist banned, well its free risk anyway. Who need specialist here lmao

[scarlet ledge]

@scarlet fulcrum ye my 2 aurora pots turned into bp and pram dupe instead both are max pot too... not even different offrate

[sonic willow]

💀 pulling 5star for pots, can't relate

[scarlet fulcrum]

Free 26 certs

[scarlet ledge]

dies

[scarlet ledge]

didnt care
need aurora pots for bearknights

for further optimization

[weary perch]

U can get defender tokens in the CC store

[gleaming lodge]

N*cheknights players

[scarlet ledge]

i made early mistake

when ajrora didnt exist yet

i use it for nearls max pot

[weary perch]

F

[gleaming lodge]

Aurora pots aren't crazy though ?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Meanwhile me with no aurora even after her rerun banner

[weary perch]

Good thing I was poor then and didn’t have CC currency

[scarlet ledge]

gib me her pots

[weary perch]

I like Aurora for her English VA

[scarlet ledge]

@scarlet fulcrum hunting for 5★ pots is pain

[gleaming lodge]

I guess you are allowed to simp

[scarlet fulcrum]

I feel you, unless its limited banner

[scarlet ledge]

limited banner you go all in

but my 5★ luck is shit

on ling banner
i didnt even get one bk

i have to get her on standard banner rateup

[scarlet fulcrum]

Flipcoin fake for 5*

[scarlet ledge]

meanwhile

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea same, got both in technically free pulls, so my bk pots very low. Pot2 or smt

[scarlet ledge]

i get 6★ easier

[random widget]

Hi Schwertleite

[scarlet fulcrum]

Wtf luccsac

[scarlet ledge]

hello

@scarlet fulcrum meanwhile aurora on main acc took 37 pulls but on that journey i got 4 gnosis and 2offrate dupe

i hate 5★ rateup so much

[scarlet fulcrum]

[scarlet ledge]

oh ye how is daily for you?

[sonic willow]

how tf you get 6 6stars in 37 pulls

[random widget]

Omg hiii @sonic willow

[scarlet fulcrum]

Still 12ops enjoyer as always

[scarlet ledge]

on alt.. i gnosis 2 pulls
aurora took 28

[glass monolith]

13 ops daily Friend support wasn't even deployed, just talent stealing

[scarlet ledge]

bruhe

[glass monolith]

[vernal lion]

just do R0 with friend support, they sure feel proud

[scarlet ledge]

april gaming

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its also aestethic with 12ops on clear screen

[glass monolith]

i did r23 on perm with someone's Yato

Imagine dude login to find r23 on Yato

[vernal lion]

today max risk is just old strat

[random widget]

Aww Naga You’re so cute!

[glass monolith]

"Hey i seen this one"

[scarlet fulcrum]

Usual aboose

[vernal lion]

at least it's not R3 +100% atk or smth lol

[glass monolith]

i would take +100% atk so i could just 2 tap archers on spawn instead whatever the fuck i had

[vague rock]

Fuck me this shit is hard

Daily map is so bullshit

[vernal lion]

you just didn't play it back from cc8 tho

[sonic willow]

just do r8, it's easy

[glass monolith]

Fuck, all, light, risks

It is like CC6 wind risk except you don't have fun

[vernal lion]

1 LIGHT ONLY, EVERYONE, JUST 1 LIGHT TONIGHT...

[glass monolith]

"Tola arrive sooner"

[lapis hornet]

imagine using ch*lter

[glass monolith]

I used Chalter, Ling, NG, and still almost lost

[vernal lion]

3 vg, Ling and Skalter
for today max risk tho

[vague rock]

I malded over that shit

[vernal lion]

ft. Disa

[vague rock]

No taxalter means my team is constantly getting bombarded by the arrow dudes

And man do they hit hard

[vernal lion]

joke on you, you can't deploy op in the dark

[vague rock]

The sigil

[vernal lion]

also 2 undeployable tiles away from the deployable tile

[foggy grove]

half of my squad is vg today

since i run like 3 defender and passenger

[vague rock]

Naw I mean the archers that gather around the center

[vernal lion]

those only hit hard because of arts dmg when they're in the dark

read the info

[vague rock]

Exactly

[vernal lion]

then just light up the map bruh

[glass monolith]

Second best bnuuy

[vague rock]

Not enough dp to cycle

[vernal lion]

it's your issue to pick risk I think

[vague rock]

Meh whatever

I cleared it

I no longer give a fuck

[vernal lion]

Bag + 2 flags are enough to get your squad on map

[vague rock]

Don't have

I only have Myrtle

Then I just spam cantabile S1 all over the map

[vague rock]

That's a huge requirement btw

[vernal lion]

I believe it's huge for new player like you, or smth

[scarlet fulcrum]

E1 Myrtle and fang enough

[glass monolith]

For first time i managed to have DP 3 WITHOUT bagpipe

[lapis hornet]

just needs 4 other vgs

gg

[foggy grove]

canta and based pioneer module

[glass monolith]

Best part - I still didn't module them

[foggy grove]

💀

[glass monolith]

so i play -8 DP

Saga module condition: Deploy saga first 3/5. Not even sure when i got those 3

[scarlet fulcrum]

SSS

[hardy fog]

can i stop skadi

[scarlet fulcrum]

Nian s3m3, must be aak enjoyer

[hardy fog]

idk

i just picked her because starting run was so bad that it gave me 2 defender cards and 1 supporter

[scarlet fulcrum]

No horn friend?

[gleaming lodge]

Is that d15 ?

[hardy fog]

I don't have one on my friend list

actually there's 1

but it's E1

so copium

idk why it's on my friend list

[gleaming lodge]

What surging wave level are you at ?

[scarlet fulcrum]

[hardy fog]

nah SW3

should be enough right

idk how strong is skadi

[gleaming lodge]

Yeah should be fine

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh its D3

[hardy fog]

all i know that if she gets her sp to full she turn into dragon

[gleaming lodge]

I don't know the mechanics but you should be fine

[hardy fog]

and i need to kill to damage her real hp

[gleaming lodge]

Nian start is definitely unheard of though

[hardy fog]

but i kind of forgot her movement rotations

[hardy fog]

playing differently i suppose (cuz i was bored and the level reward already reached max and I haven't unlocked ending 3)

[scarlet fulcrum]

Watch vid for reference

[hardy fog]

ok

[glass monolith]

New strategy: Confuse game so hard it give up and quit so you have free win

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can also check map ark on pin, im too lazy to search the map

[peak stump]

100% working : Delete game

[hardy fog]

she doesn't look very alive to me

[scarlet fulcrum]

Nice

[lapis ibex]

Yo, does the therapist archetype remove tallulah's debuff?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Not removing, but shorten the duration. Only lumen could remove it

[lapis ibex]

Lumen second skill or lumen third skill?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Both, 2nd at charged state

[lapis ibex]

Alright, good to know

Dang, i wasted my resources on whisperain

[scarlet fulcrum]

Whisperain s2 still fine tbh

[lapis ibex]

Ah well, i was gonna e2 her anyways

[scarlet fulcrum]

Even e1 works

[lapis ibex]

Aight then

[scarlet fulcrum]

Shorten duration still nice for this

If u have NG just use her instead, assuming this is not jt8-2 or h8-2

[lapis ibex]

Its jt8-3

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh whats ur current team btw

[sonic willow]

lumen is cool

I just s3 when fireball wave

[latent monolith]

The problem with lumen is that he just doesn't clear it that often, S3 runs out of ammo and waiting for S2 overcharge just takes too long

Baiting is the best solution

[lapis ibex]

Tweeked it just now

[scarlet fulcrum]

S1 also buffed by Tal, his talent also useful with his s2 sp

[latent monolith]

Lumen's best skill for status spam stages is S1

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah just bait with that team, bring 1 more frd

Or yato if u dont have 1

Remove W

[lapis ibex]

W stays

[scarlet fulcrum]

Rock2 then, use myrtle s1 too

[lapis ibex]

Alright

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pick either lumen or whisp s2, ur choice

[lapis ibex]

Im bringing both for maximum therapy session

[foggy grove]

bring your gamiya if you want secret ending

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah for that slot

She is also useful to facetank tal

[lapis ibex]

Ngl, im just aiming to get past jt8-3, the team is just to hold out until tallulah gets past

[scarlet fulcrum]

Tactical leak?

Pls dont, wasting ur sanity

[lapis ibex]

I dont have the iq

To kill tallulah

[scarlet fulcrum]

Facetank with gamiya

[lapis ibex]

And ive been stuck in this stage for about a month now

Its time to move

Im taking the L

[scarlet fulcrum]

That team suffice, bring guardmiya s1. Then adjust others skill too (myrtle s1, whisp s2, mud either fine just remember his s3 nature). Bring 1 more frd or yato. Remove some burden

*her

[lapis ibex]

Aight, imma do it.. tomorrow

[foggy grove]

yeah it's not that bad
you can even borrow nightingale to trivialize firestorm

[scarlet fulcrum]

Here the setup looks like, guardmiya tanking Tal. Mud skill when fireball coming

Spam any bodies beside thorns when ball coming. Or just like other said. Borrow ng then sleep

[ionic mortar]

Having trouble with 2-10

[vernal lion]

which part do you have trouble with

[ionic mortar]

The boss

[latent anvil]

dont block the boss initially, let them walk the circle first

[sonic willow]

ye

beat him up while he walks around

[vernal lion]

yea, the boss will deal significantly huge dmg when you block it

[ionic mortar]

Also having trouble with the right side

I am not sure is this a good opening

[latent anvil]

bring another vangaurd i think

[sonic willow]

you need someone here

[latent anvil]

yea put some guard over there, matoimaru if you have

[ionic mortar]

I have matoi but she is low level

[sonic willow]

crucial part of tactics is splitting the map

that's fine

[ionic mortar]

I am gonna reset since I didn't realise I let 2 enemies slip by

These are what I have, any suggestions?

[sonic willow]

franka can do as is

[ionic mortar]

But replace who tho

[whole hearth]

max melentha can hold top right lane

if you place her on the healing area

[ionic mortar]

Can't afford to get her to max

I also don't know who to replace

[timid acorn]

As Simple has said, Franka should be sufficient here at the lvl she is at and I would replace either Shamare or Angelina in that squad

[ionic mortar]

Level 1 is enough?

[timid acorn]

your franka is at lvl50

[limpid siren]

fnanka my beloved

[ionic mortar]

Oh wait, I confused her with another character

What about the left side?

[whole hearth]

caster+medic for the defenders

[ionic mortar]

I don't really have much when it comes to casters I don't think

[whole hearth]

lava/gitano should be fine

if that doesnt work just put amyia there as well

[latent anvil]

bruh melantha is newbie bait

matoi has good base skill, so you level her over melantha

[whole hearth]

yeah ig

[ionic mortar]

Eh?

[whole hearth]

use franka for top right cause you already have her leveled

instead of mato

[ionic mortar]

So start of like this?

[glass monolith]

This is probably overkill, i'm 80% sure fang will hold off early enemies thanks to regen tile

[ionic mortar]

So like this?

[turbid badge]

Just use cruise and a defender there

KROSS

and you can add a medic at the end

[turbid badge]

no she doesn't have enough dps

cruise plus fan quirks though

[foggy grove]

Fancruise

[ionic mortar]

Cruise?

[foggy grove]

Kroos

Blame teta

[ionic mortar]

So...should I restart?

[sonic willow]

✝️

[foggy grove]

Nah that's fine

Just add kroos to help fang

[ionic mortar]

Ok...so I think I opened discord for too long...

So bottom enterence use a defender and Kroos?

[whole hearth]

yes

[ionic mortar]

Left side put defender and caster yes?

[turbid badge]

franka can solo toop

[turbid badge]

Yes

u will need a aoe healer

there

but yea

should be fine

might want to also play may cuz drones

[ionic mortar]

Not on the heal tile since the boss is there

[turbid badge]

but start with fang for DO

Dp

[ionic mortar]

Shit, one slipped

[whole hearth]

try to finish it to get a sense of what to do ig

also switch fang with defender after the opening

[turbid badge]

[ionic mortar]

Came back just to see fang dead

[turbid badge]

u can retreat her

and deploy liskarm

Or lappland

[sonic willow]

bring a second vanguard 💀

[turbid badge]

u want enough dps to burst him when hes below 50%

cuz hell just kill everyone

[ionic mortar]

Damn it, slipped 3 this time

[sonic willow]

forget about lappland

use gitano

[glass monolith]

use practice plans so you don't burn sanity on loses

Unless you sanity capped due early level ups at which point you don't care

[ionic mortar]

I don't get it...

I don't get encouraged point for the defender and caster

[glass monolith]

Shield guy have high defense and need to be damaged by arts, which in your case only gitano. casters are *** and need to be killed mainly using physical means which you have none right now. I personally think having fang first on right side for more DP while facing less dangerous enemies with Kroos was better start

I could be biased and wrong

[ionic mortar]

I'll try that...

This is now the situation

I am guessing put amiya to deal with the drone

[glass monolith]

You will probably want to distract boss from ranged attacking on bottom operators by baiting with something on top. I'm not sure with what exactly

[ionic mortar]

Yeah...enemy slipped

I guess I'll put this on hold until I get my ops stronger

Boss killed the shield and I don't know how to distract the boss

[glass monolith]

Something on those 4 tiles deployed last for enemy aggro sake

if i recall right boss attack splash in + so you can place operators on opposite edges of that 2x2 box, just make sure something keep them alive

[light flame]

vaguely remember using one of the starters with dodge talent as bait there or something

[foggy grove]

12f?

[glass monolith]

Oh right, yea that should do

[sonic willow]

you are already way overleveled for this stage

[glass monolith]

Level is relative

[ionic mortar]

I am gonna...level for safety

[timid acorn]

Simple enough but yeah, having a lvled 12F for his dodge talent is probably better than facetanking it with a multi-target medic. Skullshatterer is very tankable above 50%.

[signal lichen]

12f indeed is a good bait

[sonic willow]

wait...

is H8-4 fireball wave different from JT8-3?

[cosmic thicket]

Does more damage iirc

[glass monolith]

Not really, from left to right

[sonic willow]

hmmm

[glass monolith]

Except now you need to blocking it 4 times at once

[sonic willow]

first hit wiped everybody out

[glass monolith]

compared to single lane entire roster like i did on JT8-3

[cosmic thicket]

And yeah you gotta block civvies :)

[sonic willow]

Imma try no borrow ng

[foggy grove]

Fireball scale with talu atk
H version has higher atk

[sonic willow]

God damn skalter

[glass monolith]

Wait... How?

[cosmic thicket]

No guardmiya?

[glass monolith]

What those 2 casters doing here

[sonic willow]

taking a fire bath

guardmiya is uhh... idk

[glass monolith]

No i mean like. How they are alive, talulah takes so long to spawn it makes sence only if you spawnkilled her on red box before dealing with wave 1 enemies

[sonic willow]

I did kinda spawnkill her

hmmm

[glass monolith]

Spawn kill issue, and bring NG instead of Lumen or something

[sonic willow]

also elysium just blows up top

[glass monolith]

Fire managment is something to look into in future. Btw if Ptilo or Lumen get burned she will explode it on civilians and kill them that way

Don't ask WHY i know that

[turbid badge]

lmao

[foggy grove]

[sonic willow]

well ptilo or lumen shouldn't get burned anyway

[turbid badge]

dudee

gnosis is so fun

i want pram module now

[foggy grove]

Gnosis bling chilling

[sonic willow]

how long does fireball wave last

[glass monolith]

10 shots or so?

[cosmic thicket]

yeah it's 10 balls

[sonic willow]

hmmmm

specter will tank 1 lane

amiya another lane

who else

unironically using surtr to tank instead of dps?

[glass monolith]

second specter?

[latent anvil]

without ng that stage sound horrible yea just use ops with innate res+many healers ig

[glass monolith]

Not much operators have innate res and most of such cases has innate "Where hp?" as well

[latent anvil]

yea that true

[foggy grove]

use matterhorn

[sonic willow]

everything going well until tal walks up and smacks my frontline

goddamn

ok fine time for NG

[glass wedge]

what unit can i borrow to make 9-19 easier?

[latent anvil]

mlynar

chalt, surtr, ntrk

[solid dew]

NG, again, ruins the boss (thats the boss stage right lmao)

[opal kiln]

9-19 is mandragora

[solid dew]

[still ingot]

can I beat risk 8 with this? I have been trying for a while now

dont mind the cliffheart, I tried pulling the archers because Im at my wits end

[turbid badge]

do u have platinum e1

she can snipe them with her extra long range

[still ingot]

I dont have platinum

I can pull a 5* from a starter pack I kept

[latent anvil]

permanent map? just copy homework and borrow pozy or mag for a solo or something

[still ingot]

I cant do no guard/specialist challenge and that really fucks me over...

[still ingot]

no, daily with the knigths and shadow tiles

[latent anvil]

oh

[still ingot]

I dont have an aoe medic and I cant really juggle ops because anyone newly deployed gets focused down

I can get ptilopsis from here but I wanted to save it for lappland

I also dont have myrtle so I definitely cant do the slower dp gain challenge

peopel werent kidding when they said that cc is pain

[turbid badge]

OH WAIT

KAZIMERIZ CC

just have them attack hoshiguma

Or ur bubble

and hit skill

Ez

Or borrow ling

lmfoa

[still ingot]

I'll try the bubble thing

[still ingot]

bubble dealt like 10 dmg to them

[solid dew]

penance S3 🔥

[still ingot]

I will try if I can find one, thanks

[solid dew]

considering you are using chalter idk if its worth the trade off

[still ingot]

chalter is support

idk I will probably give up because the easy challenges (no guard/special, slower dp gain) are impossible for me

[solid dew]

exactly, im assuming you dont have chalter?

penance*

penance*

[still ingot]

my only e2 is texalter

[fluid sail]

mlynar also works for reflect although not as well as penance does

[solid dew]

yea, its probably not worth to use support penance over chalter so idk

[sonic willow]

I think I burned like 25 sanity on h8-4

this shit corny af

[solid dew]

civillians otw to stand infront of the fireball and accept their fate:

[next cradle]

Can someone give me some advice for the daily cc? Having trouble with L8ing it.

[sonic willow]

mf idiots the blue box is in your faces

get in

[solid dew]

walk 3 steps you arent crippled

icant

[latent anvil]

You beat it?

[sonic willow]

yeah, had to borrow NG to preserve irl sanity

[signal lichen]

don't take the gaurd or specalist tag then as you really want texas alt. i would keep chalter support for sure. positoning is key on this map you kinda are forced to have rotating defenders if your healers aren't strong enough/ don't have a elemental medic

[turbid badge]

Yeaa

i forgot RISKS

GAVE +130 hp

i just ignored them after

Lmao

[turbid badge]

can u guess whos this

goat on goat action

[signal lichen]

GOAT POWER

[turbid badge]

actually wait

2 goats

[scarlet fulcrum]

Dang u have nian, based

[latent anvil]

[still ingot]

You think it's worth trying the Kyo strat with purestream instead of perfumer?

I've never used purestream so idk how good she is

Basically, what I'm asking: can purestream make a decent perfumer impression?

[latent anvil]

yes

burst aoe healing

[still ingot]

Thanks for answering

Idk if it's worth (I'mma be broke again if I e1 purestream) but I'll try tomorrow

[latent anvil]

tomorrow... the map change unless you mean before reset

[still ingot]

For context I'm talking about risk8

The map resets 2 pm for me

[latent anvil]

if you really want the risk8 rewards, im sure there is ling guide out there btw

[still ingot]

Thanks, I'll look into it

It's just so far a lot of guides involve myrtle/perfumer and I don't have those

[turbid lodge]

trying to do level 2 maps for promotion chips, what teams could i make for each of them?

[still ingot]

Are you struggling with something specific?

I remember that Shaw is useful for at least 2 of those

You can enter the stage code in YouTube and you'll get at least three guides for the stage

With your roster I doubt you'll have problems

If I understood you correctly and youre talking about chip pack

[turbid lodge]

yeah, i can’t 3 star the second ones

like the ones ending with -2

different issues for each, mostly cause i can’t beat waves fast enough

[cosmic thicket]

let's focus on one at a time

[turbid lodge]

i should focus on the defender/medic chips first right? that would help with the rest of them the most?

[still ingot]

You should pick who you want to e2 and do the stage that gets you chips for them

[lapis ibex]

Thanks for the tip

[versed hazel]

I need another Vanguard to back up my Texas, which one should I build?

[latent anvil]

canta or elysium

[versed hazel]

Need a good lane holder

So that would be Cantabile over Elysium

[latent anvil]

show guards instead uh, vigna is cheaper ig, but canta way better

[versed hazel]

Im good on guards for now, I just want to have a good back up Vanguard to Texas

[latent anvil]

yea just build canta she good

[versed hazel]

I would love a Siege rn, I would probably open up the wallet if she was in a banner

[versed hazel]

Yeah I think you are right

[golden crag]

whats the general strat for 4-9?

[latent anvil]

bait those chains with a fast redeploy

[tidal sedge]

Is that frostnova boss?

[latent anvil]

no

lol

[golden crag]

so i have to become a fast redeploy addict to beat the stage

[tidal sedge]

What is the thing on 4-9 again?

[latent anvil]

with low end ya, just bring gravel or someone along to just eat the binds, sell them, and then repeat

[golden crag]

should i use phantom's s1 or s2

[latent anvil]

imo doesnt matter, you place him to eat the bind, then sell him immediately after

the second teh bind hits him, you can sell

[golden crag]

just completed 4-9
4-10 seems like a nightmare due to the recommended lv

[latent anvil]

recommended level is pretty bad gauge, so long as you have the right strat

[golden crag]

kinda true considering ppl are doing cc risk 18 with one ops lol

[hardy fog]

how to start IS3 with SW5 and above?

i feel like the +1 hope for recruitment is kinda annoying

[latent anvil]

people oriented is -1 hope on recruit, it good

[whole hawk]

can someone give me some advice to clear cc day 4 risk 8? i searched up guides but nearl (i do have her levelled) always dies and then i fail

[latent anvil]

take out ur own penance and borrow a maxed one and put her right in the middle, she eat everything

[somber falcon]

Also note that texalt can cancel viviana's casting

[hardy fog]

e2level30

[whole hawk]

ah ty for the tips ! i can't seem to find a maxed penance (only e2lvl25) so is that ok? is there also risks i should take?

[latent monolith]

You should try avoiding the enemy hp risk and the friendly hp down risk if you're running penance

[cyan gorge]

If you need a stronger Penance, there might be one in #friend-id

[viral surge]

Anyone got any alternative strategies for Risk 8 of the current CC if my units are generally too weak? Tried the Chalter strategies from like KyoStinV but both my defender(s) are too squishy to tank and I struggle to get enough DP fast enough to match the speed they deploy units so I start I just get ran over.

Do have access to a Ling support that I've tried a couple times but generally has similar issues in struggling to generate DP fast enough and set up Ling's summons in a fast enough manner for them to actually defend anything.

Seems like I might just be stuck not clearing in full but I thought the same thing for yesterdays and was just missing one key thing to be able to clear the stage so figured there's no harm in asking again. I'm fine just giving up on the stage if I'm just too underpowered right now, since I've only been playing for a couple weeks now

[cosmic thicket]

consider trying eckogen's penance strategy

[dense storm]

Gopnik being able to kill the last knight is the dumbest shit ever

[viral surge]

Did try that one, oops
The penance's I borrow usually don't manage to handle the big wave of enemies alongside the 2 bosses, not sure if a stronger one could do it, I think the best one I borrowed as E2 Level 55 or so

[cosmic thicket]

s3m3?

[viral surge]

I think just level 7 no mastery, so that might be part of the factor as to why it isn't working out

[cosmic thicket]

yeah no level 7 is almost definitely not gonna cut it

try finding an m3 one in #friend-id

[viral surge]

I'll try a couple and see if I can get one before reset, ty
Anything else I might be able to try in the meantime or is it pretty much Penance or bust here?

[cosmic thicket]

the 2 strats i've seen are penance and chalter, i don't think ling would be feasible if you're going for DP down 3 lmao

[viral surge]

Yeah even with 3-4 vanguards I'm struggling to get DP at a reasonable rate with my current investment

[cosmic thicket]

oh leotse 96 has a ling strategy

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK IT TAKES DP DOWN 3????

https://youtu.be/MNdlgKDxrSw

[viral surge]

Yeah that's the one I saw, but couldn't replicate

[cosmic thicket]

ah

[turbid badge]

no e2 myrtle?

[viral surge]

Lower Level / Skill Level / Trust all add up to my Vanguards being a lot squishier with less damage and DP generation

[turbid badge]

idk if leos has masteries

[viral surge]

I have E2 L10 S7 Myrtle, E1 L50 S5 Siege, E1 L70 S5 Texas and E1 L30 S7 Fang

[cosmic thicket]

leo's definitely has masteries

[cosmic thicket]

trust only matters up to 100%

[viral surge]

Texas 161% since shared with Texalter
Siege 99%
Myrtle 75%
Fang 32%

[cosmic thicket]

if ur vanguards are squishy consider putting lancet 2 in your squad and deploying her early so she can heal a bit

oh you have texalter throw her in

[viral surge]

There's the no guard/specialist restriction

[cosmic thicket]

oh nvm

i forgor

[viral surge]

The alternatives are attack speed down or max hp down

[cosmic thicket]

if it makes it easier you can take no leak + tola instead of guard spec ban

the guide basically doesn't leak any anyways

although i suspect if you're trying to follow the guide 100% it'll be harder since you dont want him to be an even bigger statstick

[viral surge]

The most success I've had was all 3 of the first tier, attack speed down and then dp gen down but I still couldn't defend the final wave of enemies

[cosmic thicket]

i dont think u want aspd down if ur using the guide

[viral surge]

That was unguided, when I was trying it blind to start with, since i had texalter there

[cosmic thicket]

oh

what was ur squad there

[viral surge]

was what I tried and got the furthest with

[latent hull]

Before I grind my eyes out, anything or anyone I should change or just stick to it?

[foggy grove]

looks good

get pozy module too

[cosmic thicket]

looks pretty solid, who are you borrowing

[cosmic thicket]

is this for cc or what

[latent hull]

She has it, don't know WHY it didn't show up

[foggy grove]

oh just kick and add

[latent hull]

What is it again? Can't remember names well sorry

[viral surge]

I think I tried a Hoshiguma I saw and then tried a friends Mlynar after with pretty similar results

[cosmic thicket]

no like what are you using the ops to beat

[latent hull]

Story...

[cosmic thicket]

oh of course

[latent hull]

Using the team to grind out medic chips to e2 my healer

[latent monolith]

Select her in the squad and equip it in "branch+"

[cosmic thicket]

yeah ok ur fine

i genuinely cannot think of a stage where you will run into problems other than like JT8-3

[latent hull]

Building a new team to not get bored of my old one and here's my entire roster who should I choose on there (dps team go brrrrrr.)

(woops posted my old team

Ghh

[cosmic thicket]

if you're using mostima without her mod that is umm uhhhhhhhhhhh

you should choose angelina i am not biased i promise

[latent hull]

It's my OLD team

[latent hull]

This is my new

[cosmic thicket]

oh i got mixed up

well yeah my previous judgment stands you're fine

[latent hull]

Any ideas for my new team I am building mostly aiming for a epic DPS team that isn't braindead or half brain deaf

[turbid badge]

whags that mean lmao

[cosmic thicket]

i don't know how you can have an "epic DPS team" without it being braindead tbh

[turbid badge]

??

[turbid badge]

fr

Like epic dps team is very vague

[cosmic thicket]

closest i can think of is exu buff army but even still it's pretty to ignore entire boss mechanics sometimes

[latent monolith]

Use ebenholz ez

[turbid badge]

YEA

[latent hull]

This is why I don't like remembering names, it's like my current team but with different units-

[turbid badge]

ebenholz

[latent monolith]

Just do sniperknights or smth

[turbid badge]

Lol hes entering the arknight phases of nicheknights

[cosmic thicket]

ebenholz? more like where the ebenhoes at

[turbid badge]

Build 5 stars

[cosmic thicket]

it's midnight where i live i apologize

[turbid badge]

Look into their kits

also get some mods

lmak

Like mostimsa

[latent hull]

o-ok.

[turbid badge]

OR!

look

[cosmic thicket]

5* i recommend that are pretty good: PROVISO (base) shamare, elysium, canta, warf, april, kroos the keen glint

[turbid badge]

build ur base operators

[latent monolith]

Build astgenne (no bias)

[turbid badge]

build crossiant (no bias)

Wait

build ur provisio

BUILD UR PROVISIO!!

[cosmic thicket]

yes

[latent monolith]

AK base moment

[sly drift]

This game is 4 yo. They need to start expanding this smh

[turbid badge]

base skills that eats ur gold

[turbid badge]

lol yea

[latent monolith]

I should make rotations now that gnosis and SA are both E2

[turbid badge]

wtff ur gnosis is e2

i just got him today

[latent monolith]

Previously I just swapped out as they died

[turbid badge]

Now i can finally e2 jaye

[latent monolith]

I got mine when his banner was still up

[cosmic thicket]

bro that was my first thought when i pulled him as an offbanner

[latent monolith]

Got gg today though, a day after E2ing SA and continuing the lmdless days

[latent hull]

Oh her? I was about to build her till my arknights friend stopped me and said it's "trash 🤓"

[cosmic thicket]

no

[turbid badge]

oh shes just for ur base

Look,

[cosmic thicket]

like she's no used in combat

[latent anvil]

insta e2 that

[latent hull]

Base?

[turbid badge]

more LMD = More Operators to build

[cosmic thicket]

but her base skill is ridiculously strong

[latent anvil]

its time

[turbid badge]

she has one of the best trading post skills

[latent monolith]

Gold reserves

[latent monolith]

I don't have proviso though, got three 6 stars on mlynar banner without her

[latent anvil]

base guide flashbang

[turbid badge]

wow

same

me no provisio

nor greey

[latent anvil]

ive no hibiscus alter

[turbid badge]

Me too

[cosmic thicket]

oh wait i cant read

[latent hull]

Okay I'll build her

[turbid badge]

yay

i would too if i had her

[cosmic thicket]

yes i noticed that right after sending

[latent anvil]

maybe i should find a better picture

[cosmic thicket]

i might have an ss with my alt acc

[sly drift]

How many Gold Factory are needed to keep up with proviso

[latent hull]

Ah alr I got it, I am building an team for mostly farming (like medic chips, money etc.) since I am going to use my main for story and ya know I wanna be diverse got any ideas?

[latent hull]

Me when 999 gold factory

[cosmic thicket]

i use 3

[turbid badge]

what?

[turbid badge]

than just use low trust + ling

or texas

depends on map

[light flame]

i mean you don't gotta use static teams. use farming stages to trust farm

[latent hull]

The state of texa-

[latent anvil]

well i mean its generally easier to just switch ur team around for the stage, but if ur gonna make a single team just use ops with multiple usable skills

[viral surge]

does this group of enemies start moving if the boss defeats an allied unit or something?

trying to figure out why they seem to start moving way sooner for me than all the videos I watch

[latent hull]

Me when I barely know what I am doing in teams- (I stopped playing for like 3-5 months and let my friend play it.):

[turbid badge]

idk its fun to use different operators yes so i just started to invest in 4 stats and wacky ops

[cosmic thicket]

update i do not

[turbid badge]

update dont read chat

[latent hull]

Might as well grab a team building guide

Anyone has it?

[latent anvil]

The Rule of Thumb of Team Building

2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2

- Either bring two Pioneers (2-block DP-on-skill) (ex. Vanilla, Fang) or change one of them to a Charger (DP-on-kill) (ex. Plume). Chargers are recommended on stages with early waves of lightly armored enemies. Standard Bearers (ex. Myrtle) are recommended to be paired with a Pioneer, and provide massive DP-on-skill regeneration.

- It is recommended to bring one Protector (ex. Beagle, Cuora, Hoshiguma) and a Guardian (healing defender) (ex. Spot, Gummy, Nearl).

- Choose depending on the enemies and ranged tile placement; if many drones are present make sure at least one Marksman (anti-air priority; ex. Kroos, Exusiai). If large waves of mobs appear, try using an Artilleryman (ex. Shirayuki).

- One single-target medic (ex. Myrrh, Ansel) and one multi-target medic (ex. Ptilopsis, Perfumer) is recommended.

- It is recommended to bring one core (ex. Amiya, Steward) and one splash caster (ex. Lava, Gitano).

- Like snipers, use what's necessary for the map, dreadnoughts (ex. Melantha) are good assassins, Centurions (ex. Popukar, Specter) can help counter large waves.

For an easier time getting familiar with units available in the game and their kits, you can find some linked resources under /links.

Disclaimer

As playstyles differ between players, and maps are all different in design, feel free to make your own modifications to the team roster as deemed necessary. This list does not include and , but the two classes include operators that can be of massive help on various maps. This guide should only be used as a base reference, and you should use your own knowledge of the map and operators to build the perfect team for your clear.

[cosmic thicket]

the best team building guide is "fuck around and find out"

[latent anvil]

oops

[cosmic thicket]

also this is mostly for newcomers

[latent anvil]

im bouta just edit the image

[latent anvil]

they said they quit and their friend ran the account, maybe they new idk

[latent hull]

Nah, I used to know it but quitted due to school

[latent hull]

Isn't that like most gacha games?

[cosmic thicket]

idk ak is the only gacha i've played and probably the only gacha i will ever play

[latent hull]

I played like honkai impact

And the team building there is kinda easy and

[latent monolith]

Hi3 kinda forces synergy a lot tbh

AK does that less

Trio

[cosmic thicket]

yeah ak is more like "how do you design your team to shit on the enemy as much as possible"

[turbid badge]

lol

[latent monolith]

You sometimes pick synergistic ops but it's not your whole team

[turbid badge]

yea

[latent monolith]

Unless you're an AH player

[turbid badge]

exactly

[queen yoke]

arknights team buildin is like:
4 broken guards
a couple broken snipers
bagpipe with flags
some flex spots

[turbid badge]

alot can be made with 12 slots

[turbid badge]

lol the upcoming VGS + yato + texas alter

[cosmic thicket]

and skalter, don't forget skalter

[queen yoke]

yup

thats th flex spot

[latent hull]

The dudes be like "mmmm...hey tom, see that cat girl with 2 swords that might be the same level as a god and we have a bunch of sticks that barely enough damage even if we hit them a healer is just gonna heal them, let's attack them!"

[latent monolith]

Ines yato texas

[queen yoke]

oh yeah

i c

maybe like 2 slots for broken af frd

thats how most my teams ends up anyways

[latent hull]

Do they nerf units?

[queen yoke]

no

if they do that we riot

so they dont

[cosmic thicket]

no but they design content around some units

[latent hull]

Meanwhile my team:

[latent hull]

Ik

[turbid badge]

i really like dollkeepers

theyre really good

especially in a blind run

[latent monolith]

I got kazemaru today

But no lmd

[turbid badge]

AYO

nice

[latent monolith]

[turbid badge]

Ive built all 3 dollkeepers

lmdao

[cosmic thicket]

like surtr does a fuck ton of damage so "oops now the bosses dodge :)"

[turbid badge]

oops ntrk

[cosmic thicket]

true

[latent hull]

https://tenor.com/view/congratulations-neon-genesis-evangelion-applause-clap-bravo-gif-10554579

[latent anvil]

[latent monolith]

I used kal for CC10

[latent hull]

Gonna build whatever the fuck I'll think off and come back here

[latent monolith]

But now have ntr too so gaming

[cosmic thicket]

build proviso.

[latent monolith]

Certified dodge free zone

[latent hull]

HA?!

[queen yoke]

My team building

last spot for yato

[latent hull]

All 6 stars fr

[latent monolith]

SA for fake redeploy pot

[queen yoke]

yup

[latent monolith]

[cosmic thicket]

my team building

[latent hull]

Love how all of your units is high leveled

[cosmic thicket]

(guess the niche)

[latent monolith]

He's pretty fun ngl I shouldn't have waited this long to build him

[latent hull]

Meanwhile mine: hahahaha 69 go brrrrr

[latent monolith]

Artist only?

[cosmic thicket]

nope

[queen yoke]

hmmm

furries

[cosmic thicket]

nope

[queen yoke]

wait no scene is not furry

[cosmic thicket]

hint: the levels are a dead giveaway

[latent hull]

Farming?

[latent monolith]

Trust farm?

[cosmic thicket]

nope

[queen yoke]

does 47 mean somethin

[latent hull]

Story?

[cosmic thicket]

idr what stage this was used for

[latent hull]

Guh

[cosmic thicket]

i think it was bi-7 or smth

[turbid badge]

….

[turbid badge]

what the hell? numbers

[cosmic thicket]

ok none of you are probably going to get it

[turbid badge]

wait dont say it

[queen yoke]

🤔

[latent hull]

Base?

[cosmic thicket]

no

[latent hull]

Item farming?

Item crafting

[queen yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/po-dies-dies-of-death-teletubbies-gif-23885910

[turbid badge]

the niche is all of them are ur favroites and have the yellow tag under them

[cosmic thicket]

what do all the level numbers have in common

[queen yoke]

i men

men

mean

[latent hull]

47

[latent monolith]

Prime numbers?

[queen yoke]

they mostly 47

prime

[cosmic thicket]

yes

[turbid badge]

prime??

[queen yoke]

wut

lmao

prime lvl niche?

[cosmic thicket]

the niche is we are only allowed to spend dp in prime amounts

[latent hull]

This is the most scuffed version of hangman

[turbid badge]

Brb gonna make my surtr 47

[cosmic thicket]

this explains why courier is pot5 and not pot6

[latent hull]

OHHHH

I remember now

[turbid badge]

what about ur astegenne

isnt she max pot

[cosmic thicket]

at e2 max pot she costs 31 so it's fine

[latent monolith]

Max pot astgenne is 31

Yeah

[turbid badge]

ohh

icic

are u ginna move them to 67

oh 89 knight

[queen yoke]

nicheknghts huh

i wanna try ah

[turbid badge]

oh crap promotion might mess some up

[cosmic thicket]

our skill levels are also prime

[queen yoke]

whats some fun niches u guys tried

[turbid badge]

have fun

[turbid badge]

good thing 7 is a prime number

[cosmic thicket]

4* only

[turbid badge]

[queen yoke]

ayo. risk 9 with that. skilled af

galactic brain

[cosmic thicket]

tbf it's a group effort

[latent monolith]

Astgenne SL5 unbased

[turbid badge]

aye! u borrowed a 60 irene

[cosmic thicket]

this is a joint acc

[turbid badge]

60 isnt a prime numbee omg

[cosmic thicket]

that's out of our control for the most part

[queen yoke]

i think i will try this next tbh

since spalter is forever away

[turbid badge]

o

play schizno knights or clutterknights

i think those r the most fun

[cosmic thicket]

what's schizoknights

[turbid badge]

Or birdknights cuz the roster is unique and humungous

[queen yoke]

lmaoi

schizo knights

[turbid badge]

uhh

[latent anvil]

i play schizoknights all the time

[latent hull]

I just discovered this just now, the hell was my friend doing

[latent anvil]

just play ak in ur head

[queen yoke]

lmao

[cosmic thicket]

you could try 1p relay if u have bag pot5

[queen yoke]

how good is scene in ur clears btw

[cosmic thicket]

actually nvm it doesn't matter you have kid named texalter

[turbid badge]

operators with schizophrenia

[cosmic thicket]

We bring her to every stage partly because the account is new but also because redeploys are limited

[queen yoke]

max pot 💀

[cosmic thicket]

So summons that can be replenished are useful

[turbid badge]

idk it was a funny niche and it has some fun operators

[queen yoke]

i was thinkin of makin a team

with just frd

[lavish snow]

Low rarity squad. I'm kinda jealous rn

[limpid siren]

Clutterknights still sounds wild to me

[queen yoke]

and then like a summoner

[latent hull]

Guh?

[queen yoke]

like scene to block some stuff

[latent hull]

What units are good for the story? Like baseline?

So I can know who to put and ya know

[queen yoke]

thorns

[latent hull]

Build upon it

[turbid badge]

kal for chapter 10

[latent hull]

Make it a DPS unit fr fr

[latent hull]

Chapter 11 rn

[queen yoke]

thorns rolls like every stage. muddy for chap 10.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Maweenar

[turbid badge]

MLYNAR

yes

or texas

orrrrrwaisjjju

[latent hull]

Alt Texas?

[turbid badge]

Ofc

[latent hull]

Or the state of texas

[queen yoke]

i play the state of texas

[latent hull]

Frrrr

[still ingot]

I wish the game kept track how many times you reset, because I had dreams about today's stage

[queen yoke]

i dont

its kinda sad sometimes

[latent anvil]

I shoulda told you to do penance strat

Much easier

[latent hull]

What kind

[cyan gorge]

I did max risk daily first try

[sly drift]

Yea I think dude said here that you can use your same previous r18 strat back in cc8 in today daily max risk.

*Didn't know what strat is that

[queen yoke]

horn?

[sly drift]

Chalter

[cyan gorge]

Horn with aspd down feels awful

so I used her s2

[flat sapphire]

horn wasn't even in cc8 was she?

[cyan gorge]

she wasn't

[queen yoke]

oh wait

got confused

cuz i saw horn in the cc 8 daily

[cyan gorge]

If my memory serves correct, cc8 was just before Fia event

[latent hull]

What's cc frrrr

[glass monolith]

Cat Coliseum is event we having right now, number refers to season

We have season 11, while today's daily map is season 8 permanent map

[queen yoke]

it all blends together lol

[still ingot]

me replacing perfumer which I dont have with purestream and clearing the stage

[cyan gorge]

CC8 was my first cc and like the second "event" I ever played so it stands out

[latent hull]

Guh

[queen yoke]

i remember cc8 as the light cc

cuz it took the light out of my life

hence "dawnseeker"

[latent hull]

Can I ask what's a cc

[cyan gorge]

All I remember is malding r8 with Chalter borrow and my 90% e1 squad

[still ingot]

can penance solo the keshig and the boss and the regular dudes? Idk if she has any splash

[cyan gorge]

r8? Yes. R15? Not so much

[still ingot]

yeah, r8

[viral surge]

Penance Strat was the one that worked for me in the end, Chalter and Ling ones didn't cut it with my super mid units but Penance could mostly solo

[queen yoke]

contingency contract

which is what is on now

we are on cc 11

[sly drift]

She probably very new player she didn't unlock the mode yet

[queen yoke]

said to be one of the easiest cc yet

[still ingot]

my problem is I'm forced to take either -40% max hp or -40 aspd

and 120% hp for enemies as well so might as well be risk15

[sly drift]

Take -40% max hp I think. -40aspd make most of dps unusable

[queen yoke]

uh that person is on chap 11

[viral surge]

I did it with all 3 of the first tier, no guard/spec and dp gain down in the end

[still ingot]

my only e2 is spec and I tried dp down once and it was impossibru

[cyan gorge]

I just brought 5 vgs

[queen yoke]

same

[sly drift]

This bs map max risk can't be done with 2 vanguards

[viral surge]

rip

[cyan gorge]

There's no squad/deploy risk so go wild

[latent anvil]

Yea she solo dps basically entire stage

On r8

[still ingot]

wow

I should have rerolled my acc better

[latent anvil]

Nah you kinda want high lvl one, just borrow

[sly drift]

Is she still good with -aspd risk debuff?

[cyan gorge]

yes

if it's an issue, bring an extra blocker

[viral surge]

it was close for me with no aspd down and no hp down with a pretty good borrowed Penance

[latent anvil]

Take those risk imo

[viral surge]

one of the last mobs leaks and I had to cover it with extra units

[sly drift]

I think mud is even better than Penance? I didn't use penance on this map

[queen yoke]

sometimes

[latent anvil]

Penance really eats entire stage in this map, penance has different use than mud

[queen yoke]

how?

is it like

[latent anvil]

Penance likes eating small enemy to stack massive shield

[queen yoke]

place penance right before the turns

[sly drift]

Nonono. What I mean is mud keep spinning even with aspd debuff

[latent anvil]

Oh I understand, yea that true

[cyan gorge]

Penance has reflect for archers

[sonic willow]

penance kills the snipers

mud just kinda dies

[queen yoke]

wouldnt the bow bois just destroy that tho. those guys built different

[sly drift]

Ah..

[queen yoke]

nvm. she reflects

waitt that means shes a better hoshi

[sonic willow]

kinda but not really

[cyan gorge]

Penance suffers from hp down a lot more than Hoshi

[latent monolith]

Penance is unhealable, she can't tank the archers without skalter when you begin adding risks
Also suffers heavily from hp down

[sly drift]

I think penance will die if common mob don't feed her shield
While hoshi can just getting healed

[cyan gorge]

since her barrier regen is based on max hp

[queen yoke]

ahhh okay okay

but penance + skalter for this map is the way?

[latent monolith]

Normal character HP down is that they're easier to one shot
Penance HP down also decreases her level of sustain

[cyan gorge]

I didn't use Skalter but yeah

[latent anvil]

Risk 8 don't need skalt

[latent monolith]

Also decreases her reflect effectiveness because she only reflects if barrier up

[queen yoke]

[sonic willow]

risk 8 is so free

[queen yoke]

it was not 💀

[cyan gorge]

Risk 15 wasn't that hard either

[queen yoke]

💀 💀

[foggy grove]

i used penance on max today

she doesn't need skalter

[sly drift]

Yesterday max risk is much harder imo

[foggy grove]

[sonic willow]

if you have like a flag and some decent VG, you can take dp3 + class ban + hp down + leak

you're pretty much playing on vanilla

[cyan gorge]

I don't normally do max risk, it's just that my cc8 strat is still foolproof almost a year later

[still ingot]

yeah, idk about penance

[queen yoke]

what was the cc8 strat

i did chalter + hoshi reflect for r18

[turbid badge]

oh crap

my most favrotie cc map is gone

[sly drift]

You can send your squad here if you want even detailed strat

[still ingot]

it was my first time using her, maybe I chose one with the wrong skill

[cyan gorge]

I did the same but was too noob to go over r12 at the time

[queen yoke]

feels bad

[still ingot]

but she's not doing what chalter is doing for me this stage
