strategy

[latent monolith]

Oh wait 5 stars nvm

[grand ginkgo]

Hi strategy people
3rd day playing and im wondering what is the best way to try to approach FC6

[vernal lion]

what is your roster?

[grand ginkgo]

gimme a sec

[glass monolith]

Damn you speedrunning

When i started AK i ate shit in TW-1 and left

[vernal lion]

OH

damn

day 3 player?

[grand ginkgo]

I just got my ass kicked by fc5 for well over an hour before i could clear

[gleaming lodge]

Dude's playing optimally

[grand ginkgo]

A lot of sanity because of levelups wasted too much of it

[vernal lion]

I'm not sure what to tell you now lol

[glass monolith]

He was asking for FC4 help with cars and ranged dudes like 10 hours ago

[grand ginkgo]

Well i got my advice and it helped
same with fc5

[glass monolith]

Btw Nearl is awesome, if it doesn't kill her/teammate she will heal up

[grand ginkgo]

She only blocks 2 and she doesnt heal much because she's e0
so she's my weakest defender right now i think

she is cool tho

[vernal lion]

did you still have some exp to spare?

[gleaming lodge]

Is Nearl's talent global on E1 ?

[glass monolith]

fc6 huh.... Big fun dudes do big damage if they are next to burning reed. Place operator on left most burning reed ASAP and recall them after they deal with it, then just beating enemies as they come to blue boxes will probably get stage done

[frigid kite]

Borrow Mountain, use Gravel to turn off the all left side fire and pray for enough healing lol

[vernal lion]

E2 tho

[glass monolith]

Nah, funny Nearl talent is E2

[grand ginkgo]

Bowwow bad because i cant farm after

[gleaming lodge]

Sad

[grand ginkgo]

borrow

[frigid kite]

💀

[vernal lion]

ugh that's it tho

[gleaming lodge]

You probably want to farm FC-5 and level up a bit

[grand ginkgo]

Well i will totally try to get 1st clear with borrow if i cant do anything myself yeah

[vernal lion]

the event isn't hard tho, only the fire is not ok

until you reach boss stage and it does funny thing to all of your weed

[grand ginkgo]

i dont know how to deal with fire
its damage and it buffs them

[frigid kite]

Eblana burns off all the weed

[glass monolith]

And then EX stages be like "So basically we stuffed 20 respawn dudes in that single tile"

[frigid kite]

Use Graavel to blow the fire

just let her stay on it until it becomes white and that's done

[glass monolith]

THERE ARE RANGED TILES NEAR BLUE BOXES ON FC-6?

[gleaming lodge]

Do you have a trapmaster ?

[glass monolith]

He have Ansel
Nope

[grand ginkgo]

Thank you, that helped a lot

Practice run and not 3 stars, but putting out the fire solved a lot of my problems

[glass monolith]

Now 3 star

[frigid kite]

2 star = not only lame but sad

[grand ginkgo]

if i 2star i get first clear reward papers anyway, that will be acceptable for stages past 6

[vernal lion]

yea, should have built your 3 and 2 star op

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_S9DRiOvd8

[grand ginkgo]

i should build steward

[gleaming lodge]

Building all 3* ops early is a trap

[timid acorn]

8 ops, not good enough

[vernal lion]

[timid acorn]

I'd love to reduce it to 6 but I dont see how

[glass monolith]

I used Cardi on Anni10 to face tank boomer shamans

[tawdry basin]

can someone help me out with 10-16, i managed to get past the 1st big wave of elites but the 2nd round f me over

got it done

lemme know if anyone can help me with 10-17

[tidal sedge]

What is that level again?

[vernal lion]

Manfred

[tidal sedge]

Oh Manfred what the problem though?

[glass monolith]

Chapter 10 boss has skill issue when facing healthy enough 1 block operator with enough healing (bonus if you can bait cannon to hit him without hitting blocker)

Alternate strategy is point Fartooth in general direction of boss (won't work no normal because there are 100 slimes in way)

[tidal sedge]

Or stall him as long as u can then kill him slowly

[tawdry basin]

well i usually get over run at some point and mudrock cant keep up with the cannon and manfred hitting her

[tidal sedge]

U just need to use someone beside mud

[tawdry basin]

im in vc if u can somehow coach me

[tidal sedge]

What is vc?

[tawdry basin]

voice chat

[tidal sedge]

Well can u show me your team?

[somber robin]

omg i just realized THERE'S A FUCKING FENCE ON TOP RIGHT

[tidal sedge]

U realize that late

[somber robin]

dawg i was in pain for like an hour

first time i did it n didn't get the medal for the map

then i realized it was restricting deploy in mire and not reeds

n i spent like

almost a whole ass hour figuring it out again

[tidal sedge]

Well it is the swamp title not the bush

[somber robin]

yeah

i may have can't read syndrome

[tidal sedge]

Well I am in Jp version.

And reading is something hard

[somber robin]

people think reading is easy

100 years ago barely anyone could read

[tidal sedge]

What is your level and level of skill mudrock

[tidal sedge]

Yeah more. Like 1M year

[somber robin]

can't wait for the EX maps

sure hope the boss map is even more painful

[tidal sedge]

Well although I have 2 true dmg op but it still pain in the ass

[tawdry basin]

e2 40 and either lvll 6 or 7 skill

[tidal sedge]

If it is e2 60 it would be better

Level 7 is enough.

To tank both Manfred and mortar u need like more than 4K hp to do that.

Another question what are u gonna use to kill Manfred?

[tawdry basin]

its better if u saw my roster unless ur unable to hop into chat and look at my screen

[tidal sedge]

Just give me some name I will find a way

[tawdry basin]

like i said i have too many to say but give me names who would be good and i can tell ya if i have them

[tidal sedge]

So here is my way so I stall him then kill him so slowly.

I use Hoshi Blaze Sussoro and SA to deal with phase 1 and use Pozy on phase 2

And I even add in Skadi to punch this physical dodge guy.

[tawdry basin]

i saw a video where someone used a lvl 80 or something mudrock friend prolly masteried and ling and simply duo'd it juggling cannon w dragons

[tidal sedge]

Well u know Arknight map tool?

[tawdry basin]

the in game thing to look at the map?

[tidal sedge]

We have that

[gleaming lodge]

#871797454281015326 message

I die

[tidal sedge]

https://map.ark-nights.com/ know this one?

[gleaming lodge]

[tidal sedge]

What the heck is going on?

[gleaming lodge]

Blitz doesn't dodge

He "shrugs off physical damage"

So he doesn't get the "ATK up when dodging" relic

Hoshiguma doesn't either
Because she "resists"

[tawdry basin]

no

[gleaming lodge]

Why does HG hate defenders....

[tidal sedge]

Try it u can choose map u want then put OP like normal.

[tidal sedge]

They hate splash Caster more than your defender

[gleaming lodge]

Wrong....

Mostima is meta

[tidal sedge]

How many 6* Aoe caster we have?

[gleaming lodge]

One

But that's a subclass

Can't compare

[sage basin]

u sure forgot dusk

[scarlet fulcrum]

So blitz has feature, interesting

[grand ginkgo]

firstly, i dont have steward
secondly, it worked, thanks to badplayer

just an update because 5 ppl tried ro help

[scarlet fulcrum]

Good job, Now set up auto farm for qol

If u get steward later, just e1 him. he is also cheap af and gud for base

[tidal sedge]

So this is simplified how to defeat Manfred

[light flame]

does ifrit survive alone there? thought I remember some ranged units come from there

[tidal sedge]

Well I did add Perfumer there but she still die right when I stall Manfred I have to redeploy Ifrit

[tawdry basin]

this map makes literally no sense how its set up

[scarlet fulcrum]

Focus on car, bait cannon properly. Then u are good

[tawdry basin]

i cant reference how/where their units r placed

on their map compared to this

[scarlet fulcrum]

That one is normal version

[tawdry basin]

yea im not doing hard mode cuz f that

[scarlet fulcrum]

The pic guy sent before is adverse mode

[tawdry basin]

so ye aim doing normal mode

[scarlet fulcrum]

Place mud there then u can focus on other stuff

[tidal sedge]

This is normal mode

Not adverse

If u do normal it would be more comfier

[cyan gorge]

I personally found adverse less annoying

[tidal sedge]

Well the only reason we play adverse because 2 in 1

U do the adverse mode it will auto do normal for u.

[scarlet fulcrum]

This guy prob want to rush 11-3 just let em be

[tawdry basin]

yea

tbh

but i still cant figure out a normal mode

way to make it work

[tidal sedge]

Normal is even easier for u to do it.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Not u

[tidal sedge]

Oh

[tawdry basin]

u can show me a map on where stuff goes but doesnt show me the lead up to how to do it

hence why stuff like that is useless to me becuz "oh do this setup" but not the lead up to how it gets there and the juggling needed for the cannon

[scarlet fulcrum]

Use map ark, its pinned here

[tawdry basin]

to get said setup

how tf does putting units onto the map help plus its in chinese? so idk what

to press or go where

[scarlet fulcrum]

Change in setting

[tidal sedge]

U know u can change language right

[scarlet fulcrum]

Most top right

[tidal sedge]

Look on the right

[tawdry basin]

i see now

[tidal sedge]

So u have true dmg?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Cannon is true dmg

[cyan gorge]

You can try something similar to this
Vanguards to rush dp and get Mud out asap
then set up top lane holder and Pozy
Any high hp blocker can replace NTRK

[tidal sedge]

I am talking about OP

[tawdry basin]

dont own pozy

[cyan gorge]

You can borrow

[tawdry basin]

btu is the goal to put say mudorck onto the intersection asap then have units on the right side able to kill manfred?

[glass monolith]

At this moment you literally don't care he will commit sudoku with his own cannon

[cyan gorge]

Or just stall and kill Fred with cannon spam

[glass monolith]

Pozy is just to speed up

[tidal sedge]

Yup another reason I used her because she can ignore physical dodge

Very useful to punch this guy

[cyan gorge]

Well if he gets hit with cannon, literally any dps will work

[tidal sedge]

All u need to do is that u need him to be stunt.

Then throw anything u got on him.

[tawdry basin]

zenith r u able to hop into voice chat and guide on how u do ur setup

[cyan gorge]

Sure

[tawdry basin]

ty im in the rhode islands vc

[glass monolith]

You need him to be cannoned to lose dodge.
I am not correcting another group of people thinking stun removes his dodge next CC

[tidal sedge]

True

[harsh gale]

[scarlet fulcrum]

cc for period time only reset his interval, other than target change

Usually used on stall strat in H stages, since cannon strip only last for few seconds. Last stage condition iirc. welp ppl just true dmg moment lmao

[tidal sedge]

Well that why true dmg exist

[scarlet fulcrum]

indeed spamming cannon also exist for the strat

[tidal sedge]

Well I didn’t even use true dmg op at that time I did use canon.

[scarlet fulcrum]

if it works it works 👍

[tidal sedge]

Well at that time I didn’t even have NTR to use.

I have to use bunch of caster to deal with it.

[verbal sparrow]

I always thought that manfred map is made for fartooth

[tawdry basin]

welp i managed to beat it using the strat i found then simply adding ops like zenith and ouji said to burst him down

[verbal sparrow]

fartooth hits for like 5~6k each shot with buff

[tidal sedge]

U really should build Mudrock to s2m3 fr

[tawdry basin]

its all works in progress

[tawdry basin]

ive taken a good bit of breaks so rn im just catching up doing modules

[scarlet fulcrum]

if u have better prio, m1 fine for now

[tidal sedge]

Reason to m3 it probably to deal with adverse mode on chapter 10

[tidal sedge]

Have fun with Bagpipe mod

[tawdry basin]

wdym? like getting it done?

i just need trust for lings and bagpipes

to unlock them

[full finch]

bagpipe mod is good

[tidal sedge]

Yea your bag only level 50 though and u lack of 2 material or something. If I remember correctly

[tawdry basin]

oh ig ot enough resources to finish bagpipe and ling just need the trust level

[cyan gorge]

Bag mod is good but I wouldn’t put it at as a high priority

[shut siren]

can someone help me with fc-8 please?

[cosmic thicket]

send squad

[shut siren]

this is what i have rn

[cosmic thicket]

how far does mudrock splitbox funny get you

basically put mudrock on the center mire tile when eblana is on the same tile (or use the bottom 2 mire tiles next to each other)

this should consistently stall phase 1 but phase 2 is iffy, but that should allow you to rotate your DPS around (also consider borrowing a kaltsit to make things easier)

[shut siren]

i think im having trouble even getting that far 😭

[cosmic thicket]

uhhhhhhhhhhh

[shut siren]

i can borrow this

[cosmic thicket]

aw hell nah no masteries
find someone in #friend-id with s3m3

[shut siren]

okay

[hazy elk]

what does it mean by give all abyssal hunter tactical equipment

[glass monolith]

The shit you get when you do Magic the Gathering stack of shit is tactical equipment

[sour mantle]

Skadi gain guard buff

For exemple

[hazy elk]

i still dont understand

do they just get one stack?

[sour mantle]

In SSS, you can stack class buff on ops.
This item when deployed give all AH, 1 stack of their own class (or if they already have 5 buff of their own class)

[hazy elk]

what about this?

does she just undeploy herself?

[sour mantle]

Nope it does not trigger with this one

[hazy elk]

but the passive buffs still apply though?

[sour mantle]

Yeah, for example skadi and andreana gain 40% atk and 40asp respectively if you chose Guard and Sniper A.

[hazy elk]

so this item is not very good

[sour mantle]

No, it's great, but need to play AH, and its the only way to give them more than 5 buffs, iirc the item give them a max of 8 buff in total, max 5 for a class.

[hazy elk]

the first time i played i just had penance solo carry every stage

the map specific buff is almost built for her

[timid acorn]

That's actually not how that works but the description is bad

[near needle]

Hello. Can someone help me complete the 9-14??? This is my squad. And if you can help me will you go to the VC?????

[full finch]

what issue are you having

[timid acorn]

You choose 2 operators to discard and all deployed abyssal hunters gain the stacks of whatever you discarded

[near needle]

These guys

[full finch]

they gain +800 def and +30 res when in rocc mode

[sour mantle]

Oh, it's not the class of the AH deployed, I didnt notice, guess i chose the same classes as deployed by pure coincidence then.

[full finch]

and passenger definitely doesn't deal enough damage to get through 70 res
where's your anti air phys damage?

[near needle]

I don't have that much

[full finch]

[hazy elk]

do you need a s3m3 kaltsit?

[full finch]

ig fia can work

[near needle]

I think i will do this by myself

[glass monolith]

I hope you know you can drop pillars to clusterf- everything into left chokepoint?

[near needle]

I do

[hazy elk]

you might also be able to try texas s2 for the res shred

combo that with fia s3

[near needle]

I tried that

[hazy elk]

what part are you having trouble with?

[near needle]

But dmg output was low since she's not M1

[hazy elk]

is it dps?

ah

[near needle]

Yep...

I already have module. But the masteries

[hazy elk]

do you have chalter?

[near needle]

No

I'll show you all my 6* in DM

Well i could send it here

[hazy elk]

ill join the vc

[near needle]

Great

[full finch]

could work with horn S2 in melee

but idk if it'll work on gargoyles

something like this perhaps

it's not enough though

[hazy elk]

the extra stack didnt do anything

its the same as 5 stacks?

[foggy grove]

max stack for the same equip still the same
but you can do stuff like 5 vg,5 guard

truly en moment smh

[scarlet ledge]

@foggy grove dv rerun moments

[craggy helm]

Has anybody tried solo ca5 with reed yet?

[full finch]

unlikely to work

because of dogs

wait

CA-5?

definitely won't work because of how the spawns are

[craggy helm]

The skill summaries one, I think that's ca right?

[full finch]

yeah

CA-5 is definitely too hard

way too many spawns

and reed deals very little damage offskill

CA-4 maybe

CA-5 ends like this

[pallid veldt]

nice one xolli

[gleaming lodge]

bro really brought Myrtle to CA-5

[turbid badge]

lmao

[glass monolith]

And i was thinking i had issue with overusage of Myrtle

[full finch]

borrow

CA-4 ends like this

[gentle finch]

smh

[oblique flicker]

Can anyone help me with fc-4

Im new so im currently running this

I know i need to level up the others but i just want to get puzzle

[gleaming lodge]

that's a big disaparity in levels

[solid dew]

supah approves of e1 max lv gummy

fc4, lemme check what that level is again

[gleaming lodge]

do note that the EXP and LMD cost to increase level is not linear, but the stat gain is
lvl 1 to 20 is cheap and gives the same benefits as 40 to 60 (much more expensive)

[oblique flicker]

Ye, i stopped leveling siege

[oblique flicker]

Mhh, so i try to get everyone to at least lvl 20

[gleaming lodge]

yes

[gentle finch]

yup

[oblique flicker]

I see

[gleaming lodge]

not giving 20 levels after a promotion is a crime

[oblique flicker]

Im having trouble with the fellas with the grenade launchers that come in the right side

[solid dew]

im guessing their splash is killing your medics or something?
idk what their targeting is, it doesnt seem to be last deployed but ill double check

[oblique flicker]

Yeah the splash

I tried using grovel and texalter but didnt work

Ling's dragons didnt work either

[solid dew]

could try place the medics further away, cause the splash is only the tiles around it

[gleaming lodge]

Gummy should tank nicely

[solid dew]

like top left, and the ones down the bottom face up

[oblique flicker]

But how do i kill them

[solid dew]

you can place ops to attack them, itll just take a while because the mud will slow down your ops attack speed, or just wait for them to move

[oblique flicker]

Yeah i guess

I'll give it a try after leveling all to 20

[solid dew]

gl

[oblique flicker]

Ty

[verbal sparrow]

professional war crimes committers

I like how reed just invalidates most human wave tactics

[normal kernel]

lol

[verbal sparrow]

reed's cinder.... basically talulah at home

[glass monolith]

And then SN rerun happens and they just dodge explosions and dodge burning because it just works

[full finch]

simply dodge an explosion centered inside your body

[verbal sparrow]

a lappland a day keeps the fish away

[glass monolith]

But can lapp keep dogs out, expecially if he let them out first

[cosmic thicket]

wtf is this graph

are you telling me that 50 out of the 60 something enemies in SN-9 were dogs

oh shit you're right

i swear there were more other enemies

[turbid badge]

i mean

[weak peak]

how tf do i keep my mlynar and ptilopsis alive against the rocket dudes? i place em here and ptilopsis just dies lol

[sly drift]

It attacks those 4 last deployed right?

Just deploy all four melee on those 4 last deployed and you will be fine. Probably

[frigid kite]

Put Mlynar in the Mlynar tile

You will have to outheal them tho

Like, on the very last wave

[weak peak]

looks juicy😳

but the rocket dudes dont get there right?

[full finch]

goldenglow also dunks all over this map

[frigid kite]

They will

[weak peak]

or do they go through there?

[frigid kite]

You will have to outheal at most 2 of them

[weak peak]

i see, i died before reaching that point

shining and ptilopsis should be enough

[scarlet ledge]

me with s3 zooki

😳

[verbal sparrow]

saria alone is literally immortal against them

[full finch]

saria built different

[verbal sparrow]

somewhat amazing that she's been meta since launch

this may also be a good place for heavyrain camo to shine, but that is if anyone even built heavyrain

reminds me of that one star wars scene where Luke stood alone against the army of AT-AT shooting at him

[latent anvil]

[quick pecan]

ifrit + horn pretty much made this anni sleep

[lucid mirage]

Us senile folk used her for Emperor's Blade way back when. So yeah, a fair few people have raised her. Whether they still play AK is a different story though.

[ancient hearth]

heavyrain is also good for IS3, though in large part because defenders as a whole are pretty weak

[shut siren]

can someone help me with this please?

[solid dew]

CC moment.
this one needs a couple of AA snipers, at least 2, maybe 3.

id say get the middle tag because snipers are used more

[shut siren]

is jessica and kroos okay 😭

[solid dew]

you can borrow if u want, it doesnt effect anything

[shut siren]

ohhh

[solid dew]

other then maybe your pride idk

borrow a good AA like exu or ash

[shut siren]

this is what my team looks like rn

[solid dew]

honestly those snipesr are probably fine, i think

[shut siren]

do i swap like mudrock for jessica

[solid dew]

u probably dont need surtr, unless theres an stronk enemy i missed

[shut siren]

alright

[solid dew]

its just thoe logger guys right?
i cant recall lol

[shut siren]

umm the beefy guys

[solid dew]

ling, mud and gummy should be fine for that

[latent monolith]

Why ling S2

[solid dew]

attack drones ig?

[shut siren]

oh i forgot to change

[solid dew]

nvm

[latent monolith]

Ig would be nice for drones still, depends on which you have more issues with

[solid dew]

if u have chalter and pozy its probably not needed tbh

[latent monolith]

Wait was this the map with drone spam on the right or the map with it on the left

[solid dew]

left to right enemies go

[latent monolith]

Oh then you're probably okay

[shut siren]

ok this look good?

[solid dew]

this one

[solid dew]

that should work yea

[shut siren]

how should i start out?

[turbid badge]

harmonie slow works on invisible?

[gritty eagle]

whats the simplest way to extinguish all the fire in FC-6 for the medal?

[latent monolith]

Just deploy an op (ambushers, liberators work well) on all the burning tiles

[rapid junco]

just put someon on the fire near blue box

[gritty eagle]

thanks

[latent monolith]

You can also just drop like SA and have him clear fire + enemies

Or use summons

[gritty eagle]

oh summons work?

whats a good tactician to borrow that can survive that fire

[last mist]

I just brought gravel and put her as soon as i can

[south bone]

You can also use Trapper like Robin or Dorothy to extinguish the fire

[latent monolith]

Beanstalk probably has the tankiest summons, they don't do that much damage though

[gritty eagle]

well doesn't matter, just need to put out the fire ig

[latent monolith]

You can wait for the enemy to move out before placing and the fire would probably run out before they return

[gritty eagle]

OH RIGHT

those big guys

that patrol the fire

[latent monolith]

Actually idk if dead tactician summons would be able to put out the fire

[gritty eagle]

I was planning on just putting ng and warfarin oso they can cover the entire fire and just start placing operators from there

cuz im pretty sure penance can stall a big guy if it was the last one

[latent monolith]

The fire does like no damage

You don't have to outheal it

[gritty eagle]

oh alright

[last mist]

why yall make it complicated

[latent monolith]

It lasts like 15 seconds if there's an op on top

It doesn't even last long enough cause a burn proc

The elemental damage only goes to like 3/4th

[gritty eagle]

I see\

@last mist thank you

i just borrowed a gravel

[last mist]

You borrowed what?

[foggy grove]

[sharp mango]

???

[foggy grove]

where is your gravel

[sharp mango]

Why a man had forced to borrow a gravel

[gritty eagle]

a gravel 😊

[sharp mango]

Unreal

[gritty eagle]

i think e1 sl1 would have worked but i just borrowed her

[foggy grove]

your texas works too

[last mist]

Yeah as long as its an executor itll do i did it faster cause gravel + cantabile(semi fast redep)

[gritty eagle]

well i still cleared it

ion think it matters much now

[foggy grove]

ye now redo it so you can farm

[gritty eagle]

nope, i didnt click "replace autodeploy"

so i dont need to do allat

[sharp mango]

So what stage u farm in this event

[rapid junco]

fc 5 6 7
with 6 most farm

[last mist]

Same

[sharp mango]

I....No comments

[gritty eagle]

6 mostly

both my accounts have no oriron clusters

like 0

[sharp mango]

Ye I just en

[blissful wren]

For IS2, what’s a good Guard and Supporter to use?

[rapid junco]

thorns, idk with supporter

[blissful wren]

Any non 6* guards that I should raise?

[last mist]

Low end? Popkar(idk if i get spelling right) midnight melantha i guess

[blissful wren]

I shave most of the 5* and 6*. But none of them leveled. So trying to see which would be useful to invest in. Since I’m only at lvl 20 in IS2

[latent anvil]

Popukar and melantha suck so bad~~ in is2~~ in general

[balmy halo]

supporter? ling sweeps until like third floor

[hushed summit]

silverash maybe

[young elm]

how did people do 9-10

i have no casters and the birds go two seperate ways so my poor little chalter can't get both

[full finch]

casters nearly useless in chapter 9

almost all enemies have 70 RES when not silenced

[timid schooner]

easy

[young elm]

but those birds have D res

that's all that matters in that stage

[vernal lion]

what is that enemy, the flying golem?

[young elm]

the big rock birds

[timid schooner]

that under tides boss song gib chills

[foggy grove]

they have refraction

screw all the letter grading

[vernal lion]

this?

[young elm]

https://arknights.fandom.com/wiki/Tombkeeper_Grotesque

[amber hedge]

help im having trouble after 300 kills:(

[young elm]

yes

[young elm]

what does that mean

oh

Exu atk is nearly to 600 too

[young elm]

https://krooster.com/u/mapleau

kallll

[young elm]

kallll????????

TETA

👋

[vernal lion]

kal'tsit

[young elm]

why he acting as if i have kal

[vernal lion]

Idk lol

[turbid badge]

wtf i thought u did

[young elm]

can kal even hit the big flying rock birds when they fly

[turbid badge]

use ur chalter

[young elm]

my chalter can't hit both lanes

[turbid badge]

oh which map

[young elm]

9-10

[turbid badge]

Borrow a Mlynar

lol

[vernal lion]

wait 9-10, I do 2 op that stage lol

[young elm]

er

[vernal lion]

Chalter, Mountain

[young elm]

wheres chalter

you've infatuated me

[full finch]

if you drop a rocc on the gargoyles they don't revive

[turbid badge]

yea

[young elm]

ive got bp 😀 mountain replacement asf

[full finch]

otherwise

when in rocc mode

[turbid badge]

la pluma

[full finch]

the gargoyles get +800 DEF and +30 RES

[young elm]

good point

[young elm]

yeah that's quite a lot of defense

[full finch]

1350 DEF and 100 RES

[young elm]

yeah..

[full finch]

arts damage in shambles

[turbid badge]

wow!

[young elm]

same with phys?? damn 1350

that's more than melantha

[full finch]

when they start flying the buff goes away

back down to 550

[turbid badge]

pretty sure chalter just eats them tho

[full finch]

yeah

[young elm]

yeah she does

from experience

what's the placement though

and which rocks do i blow up

[full finch]

might knock down the bottom left rocc

and make the enemies go up and around

[full finch]

that works

[young elm]

lawl no way

ill try that

[vernal lion]

retreat Mountain so she can hit the enemy blocked below Mountain

[turbid badge]

now she cover two lanes

[young elm]

i did it hooray

[fierce hawk]

Hi which ones better? Ceylon or whisperain need a 5 star therapist :>

[turbid badge]

whisp

[fierce hawk]

Noice

Thankgod I e1 the right one lol

[turbid badge]

no leumen(

?

[fierce hawk]

I just e2'd my shining

[turbid badge]

ou

[fierce hawk]

I missed the event 😦

[turbid badge]

[fierce hawk]

Lumen is a great unit tbh

Even as a normal medic

Much better than most medics

[cyan gorge]

Purestream is good too even for being a 4*

[fierce hawk]

I prefer 5* rn since my composition is mostly stacked with 6* or 5*

Though for IS 3 I'd definitely get purestream

If there's no choice

[turbid badge]

tbh she really shines when u get her mod shes pretty cheap to raise tho

[cyan gorge]

Yea her burst healing with mod 3 is insane

[fierce hawk]

Better than whisp?

[turbid badge]

different use

Purestream burst healer , u usually use whisp for s2 or s1 multitarget

whisp consistent healing

[fierce hawk]

Ahhhhh yeah I got e2 ptilopsis for burst

That should be enough I think

Need some suggestions on shining module, should I wait for the 2nd module or just get the current module?

First module is for defence enhancement while 2nd module focuses on aspd and sp Regen

[turbid badge]

use s2?

idk her 2nd mkduke isnt that great

[glass monolith]

Super dumb question: Damage reduction works when damage done to barrier, yes?

[latent monolith]

It should yes

[turbid badge]

[fierce hawk]

I prefer S3, makes all units in the range a semi tank imo

High def as long as most enemies are physical atk

[lucid mirage]

Just get current. +140 def is no joke. Especially with her s3 since her talent counts before any buffs.

That said, mod 2 is likely better for afknights when dealing with true/arts heavy stages.

[glass monolith]

New SSS is fun

[fierce hawk]

Agreed

[fierce hawk]

The boss is weak asf Lol

[gleaming lodge]

Just wait until bladehelm shows up

[fierce hawk]

Killed him with 1 mountain and some buffs

[glass monolith]

Yea, bladehelm beat shit out of NTR, Texas alter, Gravel, Texas alter again, and was stopped by Eunectes

[timid schooner]

i can do it on first try but those mf civilians ded so :(

man i hate do escort thing

[lucid mirage]

There's a reason JT8-1 is the best stage.

[timid schooner]

ye

[vernal lion]

new Hellagur mod is so busted

[random widget]

New Naga Character is

[tidal sedge]

He still pretty fall off bro

[vernal lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1__JVX1iLk

fell off, you say?

[peak stump]

Art of war crimes

[vernal lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIBSw0MasB8

M8-8, 2 guards duo

[opal kiln]

the module is pretty good for him

doesn't change the fact that he's a bottom of the barrel 6*

[vernal lion]

unless they want to make him from 0 to infinite power

[scarlet fulcrum]

Still nice showcase tbh, tho eblana stats without barrier just beyond sad

[vernal lion]

it's just that you need to use them properly

even small buff stat works

[viscid mist]

False

Hellagur is by far the strongest 6* musha guard

[lapis hornet]

he's by far the weakest 6* musha you mean

[gleaming lodge]

Hellagur when the enemy has 1k DEF

[tidal sedge]

Go and ask Red to solo him

[gleaming lodge]

No

I stall

[glass monolith]

I love how balnsed following event are. First we face 50 def 50 res enemies. Then we face 1300 def 0 res enemies. no between

[vernal lion]

https://youtu.be/9SffhjXMIWo

[wary wing]

eblana with barrier is literally penans with full barrier + s2

[lucid mirage]

Who?

[vernal lion]

current event boss

[tidal sedge]

well the one we need to "true dmg" to kill her fast?

[glass monolith]

Fastest kill of her i seen was "Just aim Eben at red box"

[vernal lion]

I just burst her before she can cast the shield kek

[latent monolith]

I completely forgot that I wanted to raise eben

[glass monolith]

I need to raise Lee, ReAl, Bagpipe, and don't even start on masteries and upcoming in few weeks firewhistle

[vernal lion]

kek

[latent monolith]

Are you running the cringe mod

[vernal lion]

Idk it's from my friend, I didn't check what his mod

Mystic Y, that's why lmao

so you need X to oneshot

[latent monolith]

Yeah the cringe mod

[vernal lion]

Idk why tho

[lucid mirage]

Is X the 4 charge one?

[vernal lion]

yes

and +1 with talent, so it's 5 stacks

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ah yeah full stack thicc af with downside having duration and its only lv0

[wary wing]

does someone here have a big tequila?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Certainly not me, only m3. Bigneus or arkhy hab it

[wary wing]

m3 is enough

anything is better than this

only need a bit more damage

[vernal lion]

imagine can't proc shield

[scarlet fulcrum]

Mine only e2 50, u can add me if u want Kirn#6237 doubt any big difference without buff

[wary wing]

m3 is enough

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah only m3

[wary wing]

added

[scarlet fulcrum]

Accepted 👍

Ok he is set

[wary wing]

thanks

[scarlet fulcrum]

yw

[wary wing]

excellent

dont think i can go lower with 5stars and no summoners

[scarlet fulcrum]

Damn that was close

[wary wing]

the final combo slash almost gutted him

but it was perfect

[scarlet fulcrum]

oh arkhy here his teq much better

[weak gazelle]

hmm?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Crom want beeg tequila

[wary wing]

not anymore

yours cleared

and i dont think i can go 3op 5star

no summoners

[scarlet fulcrum]

Well any 5* in general, arkhy maxed most of em ig

[wary wing]

ik

[scarlet fulcrum]

Crom did u raise any summoner?

[wary wing]

all are e2

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pog

[wary wing]

i mean that i dont want to use summoners

[weak gazelle]

oh ok
im gonna pray now
90 pulls no harmonie at all
this banner rng are so rigged

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah ik the feeling

[wary wing]

how many reedics

[scarlet fulcrum]

4 skyfires now dang

[weak gazelle]

1 reedic
4 off rate 5*
rest are not worth to mention

[scarlet fulcrum]

I got reedic on early, but its so empty. Other 5* doesnt count yea. Dupe only

[young elm]

reeidc lawlll

@icy charm

[vernal lion]

3 5* op with Tachanka

[scarlet fulcrum]

Copium laneholder 🗿

[wary wing]

uh

wait

that teq placement

is genius

pluma s2?

[scarlet fulcrum]

I only realized all elite stand idle

Pluma s2

[wary wing]

m3?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah

[wary wing]

that was going to be my other option

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pog, did u also raise highmore? Mine still in lmao state

Welp the one i use are meta 5*. Maybe rock2 also works

[pallid veldt]

Rock3 when

[scarlet fulcrum]

Her drone atleast has a lot of number

[wary wing]

my highmore is s1m3 50

her s2 could technically work, but i prefer pluma damage oriented skill here

[scarlet fulcrum]

SL7 also works ig, the blade dude only have def like 500 or 600 i forgor

[wary wing]

its more about the burst itself than the dph

[scarlet fulcrum]

Still good masteries tho, initial duration and stuff

[wary wing]

although regen from highmore should counter

[solid dew]

Wish me luck! (I’m gonna lose)

[solid dew]

i did not lose

[scarlet ledge]

omg

pro

[tropic valve]

[solid dew]

i am the arknights now

[turbid badge]

no

poop

[solid dew]

[novel robin]

For Research Base Hangar Annihilation, Is it better to use Penance skill 2 or 3?

[cosmic thicket]

where r u putting her

[novel robin]

Either row 3 col 3, or below it. Or maybe above that 2 robot in the middle

[cosmic thicket]

so like here

or over here

[novel robin]

Probably here

For skill 2

[cosmic thicket]

what units do you have

[cosmic thicket]

hmmm

[turbid badge]

oh tex

are u using mountain to hold bottom

[novel robin]

I'm thinking using skill 2 for aoe since the enemy funnels upper mid.

[cosmic thicket]

uhhhh

the top lane is a lot more active than the bottom lane

[novel robin]

no, I probably use medic defender

[turbid badge]

yea ik im just asking but i think s2 is nicer ig just try it out

[novel robin]

okk lemme try

[novel robin]

woo yea, thanks guys
no sanity wasted

for the swarm of small enemy penance doesn't do much, because the enemy has high res.

[frigid kite]

🙏

[sly drift]

Vigil paired with Skalter is meta on this reed event. Only for this time you guys should use him while he actually being useful

[foggy grove]

dot is also cool

[gentle finch]

wait

is ex opened

well I don't see people asking for help so I doubt

[frigid kite]

I need help with EX

😔

[sly drift]

Tomorrow

[steep tartan]

um guys....wheres my typewriter....

[turbid badge]

lol

filled

[steep tartan]

nooo because even when i un-filled it didnt come back

[frigid kite]

It died

You killed it

[steep tartan]

aaaaa

[tidal sedge]

well u broke her typewriter...

[fringe jackal]

why does SSS always have this bug?

[steep tartan]

i dunno but it took me by surprise

[turbid badge]

just use schwarz ! u will never find a typewriter there

[sharp mango]

Killer of typewriter

Real

What a evil man

[frigid kite]

Not a bug, just had full space in the deck and then Typewriter got destroyed

Annihilated

Embraised

[sharp mango]

Going to the void

[frigid kite]

What a Schwarz' player is capable to do

[sharp mango]

Nah

Schwartz is for buff only

Get stacked

[peak stump]

Imagine relying on typewriter

[turbid badge]

ikr

couldnt be sxhwrz

actually wtf

lmao i remmeber hating pozy when sss came out

Cuz turret doesnt get buffed

nd her relieid on it havily

[peak stump]

Hating pink fox because her source of additional damage doesn't work as intended
Truly an AK player moment

[turbid badge]

dont blame me

blame initial sss enemies

[peak stump]

Blame everything else in the gamemode

[solemn snow]

What do I need to bring for the new anni?

[peak stump]

Mountain/Mudrock for bottom
Shining for your dps
Ifrit/Chalter for mid
Anything to Kill Bots (Eyja S3 or smth)
4 Target Dummies (Tanky defenders that resist physical damage, probably Saria as one of them)
Of course DP Gen

[foggy grove]

arts or high phys

[peak stump]

Does the missle bots do phys or arts

[lucid mirage]

Phys

[peak stump]

Yeah

[solemn snow]

Mountain/mudrock and Ifrit/Chalter are either/or?

[peak stump]

Either

You could bring both Mountain and Mudrock

[solemn snow]

Who would stop me, certainly

[peak stump]

Yourself

[lucid mirage]

Surtr/Gamiya/NTRK s1 work better on bot lane than mountain.

[peak stump]

Just kill bots on top and mid you don't need to kill bottom ones

Well unless you're me

[quick pecan]

horn + ifrit pretty much covered my dps for the whole map with small contribution from thorns for trash mobs

[lucid mirage]

You don't need bait if you use mlynar/GG/Taxes to kill the rpg guys near the front of the stage.

[peak stump]

Oh yeah horn is a great pick as one of the target dummies

[lucid mirage]

Skalter can also let other units tank the missle shots except for the last wave.

[peak stump]

I didn't need to do anything other than GG S3 until the last wave

[quick pecan]

last wave pretty much just checks ur healing / deployment order if u can deploy ur defenders last the gundams are easy to survive and then kill

[lucid mirage]

Or you pop a mlynar and they just die at the start.

[peak stump]

The only problem I had with the last wave was the stun bots

[quick pecan]

that too but i am mlynarless

[foggy grove]

just nuke them with passenger smh

[lucid mirage]

SA can kill them too.

He just needs some healing to stay alive.

Mizuki s3 can take em out too iirc.

[peak stump]

Those RPG bots remind me about Water and Fire union Pompeiis 💀

[lucid mirage]

The bots have too much def to be jaye fodder.

[peak stump]

True

[quick pecan]

i tried to cheese some of the rocket gundams with texalter but they murdered her before she could stun 💀

[peak stump]

Me too

[lucid mirage]

Pretty sure they're stun immune.

[quick pecan]

pain

i just waited for them to get in ifrit range then deployed texalter again

[peak stump]

Mud could only last 3 seconds

[foggy grove]

i've been actively trying to ditch texas from all of my squad

[lucid mirage]

Ngl, her lack of total dmg is annoying.

[quick pecan]

every time i do annihilation i’m glad i have ifrit 💀 there’s been a lot of ifrit lanes in content recently too and if there isn’t one i just force her into a spot

[foggy grove]

[lucid mirage]

If there's a tile, there's an ifrit.

This statement has been true since her release.

Which is pretty much the start of the game.

[quick pecan]

patiently waiting for her module to hit global

[peak stump]

There's an ifrit, There's a tile

[quick pecan]

they know they made a mistake with the amount of res shred she has too with the way they avoided her other talent 💀

[lucid mirage]

I recommend waiting to see what her 2nd module is first. Current one is mildly disappointing. Too random.

[solemn snow]

So this should be good? Who do you think I should pop in the last slot?

[quick pecan]

i feel like they’re purposefully avoiding second mod

but that’s just me

[peak stump]

Surtr lol

[lucid mirage]

I mean. Ifrit's talent is literally the biggest res shred in the game. And it affects everything in range with a 100% uptime.

Yeap. They're totally avoiding giving ifrit a 2nd module.

Which is why it's worth the wait.

[peak stump]

I only followed this

[quick pecan]

i just want bigger s2 number

[peak stump]

Is Shining S2 or S3 better for the run

I used S2 because I had no M3 Masteries

[lucid mirage]

S3. The multi target big def buff is vital for the final wave if you can't kill off the bazooka guys near spawn.

[solemn snow]

So Shining's job is to help Chalter live?

[peak stump]

Yeah

[quick pecan]

shining / skalter saving ranged ops this anni

[solemn snow]

Should I throw in another damage dealer or like a Skalter or Ptilo or Suzu for the last slot

[lucid mirage]

What else would her job be? It's not like she's willing to pull out her sword.

[peak stump]

Place Chalter where Eyja is after you kill all top bots

Also why Sutur S3

Since you're basically afking her bot lane as a lane holder

Or are you planning to use mud

[solemn snow]

Surtr is there to be a stopgap when some other part of this adhoc clear attempt fails

Mud is for holding bot

[peak stump]

Yeah Surtr can be good for the last wave since she survives 8s after being annihilated

[solemn snow]

And my four defenders are here to just Block the two mid lanes?

[peak stump]

I think the healing is enough so you can bring an extra defender or smth

[solemn snow]

Nian S3 Intensifies

[peak stump]

And Bagpipe isn't really needed lol

If you want to you can sub her in for someone else

[solemn snow]

Yeah I guess in an anni myrtle will have time to gen

[peak stump]

Wait I just remembered you're using mud

[peak stump]

One slot you could bring another damage dealer/ more healing for something more overkill

Just make Saria and Blemi heal each other and the other defenders

I think the healing is already enough unless you want to be extra sure

[solemn snow]

Something like this then?

Don't ask why I picked rosmontis it just seemed reasonable

[peak stump]

Maybe you can replace one defender with another damage dealer like GG S3/Ifrit S2/etc

But I think it's enough

[solemn snow]

Sweet, thanks. Yeah I suppose why not just have both Ifrit and Ch'alter on here

[peak stump]

Also why ros

[solemn snow]

[quick pecan]

ifrit can help bottom most lane out as well since she reaches that tile in front of bottom laneholder

[peak stump]

Yeah ifrit S2 can reach bottom Lane instead of chalter

But Chalter is Chalter

2 is better than 3 she said

Ifrit isn't really needed if you have a strong lane holder at bot

What I used

Bottom Lane could easily be stalled by mountain + warf (or any other medic really)

You could put him more to the middle so the guys doesn't shoot him and deal a shit ton of damage

Same w Mud

But you can't use a second dps

Or they'll die from cringe

[solemn snow]

Thanks! @peak stump

[peak stump]

Good

Did you struggle

[solemn snow]

It was first try but my setup kinda crumbled to the artillery guys at the end. I didn't make it quite resilient enough

But then Surtr just murdered all five of them

So it worked out

[peak stump]

Same I did that too I had to stallknights the end

Sutur melts
But I don't have her

I need to farm more delete buttons

[solemn snow]

Ifrit benefitted from both Shining and Nian s3s and got a grand total of 434 defense

Still died

[peak stump]

Unreal

You deployed your defenders last right?

So they'll target them instead of ifirt

[solemn snow]

Noooooot exactly. I deployed one of them early to catch the first wave because I was a little behind. In hindsight I would deploy one of the backmost defenders first next time instead of one of the frontliners

[peak stump]

I redeployed them after I place a defender infront

[solemn snow]

Also all of the defenders were back behind Ifrit and Ch'en

[peak stump]

That's how I managed to do it

I think Skalter could've prevented Ifrit's death

If you want to redo this anhi all over again

[solemn snow]

I kinda forgot she buffs defense as well

[peak stump]

I actually deployed the front lane defender first
Then the bottom one then retreated the front one and placed them back

Nothing really got through at that point (200 ish enemies)

[peak stump]

Inspiration do be op

[vernal lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBzkcXQlMDo

[glass monolith]

Not that surprizing when 90% of stage comes into single choke point

it has very "Just use Firewhistle" design

[glass monolith]

IW rerun soon.
KROOS SKIN SOON

[latent monolith]

Ngl I'm not a big fan of the Kroos alter skin

[glass monolith]

Idk, there is something funny about hip firing semi auto kroosbow

[turbid badge]

i can finally get the fucking me nothing skin

[vernal lion]

my back hurts

[turbid badge]

she literally shooting it with her eyes closed on one hand

[vernal lion]

yea best sniper (IS3) fr fr

[turbid badge]

Iw rerun means beat sui again and that means i get to destroy it

[glass monolith]

I will solo Sui with Kroos alter

[fierce hawk]

Any tips on the last 5 boss/cannoner on the annihilation mission?

Ifrit got killed maidhsiksk rip

[glass monolith]

Goldenglow S3 while some very thicc tanks stall them

[fierce hawk]

I don't have that rip

Friend unit - ifrit

[glass monolith]

Sadly i don't have ifrit and i can't relate in any way to shenanigans they do

[turbid badge]

deploy 4 defenders last

ah

well she will still be bombarded

do u have e2s now?

[fierce hawk]

Yep I got some

[fierce hawk]

Also got reed alter but still haven't e2, need to clear stage 11 rip

[glass monolith]

Fun fact, S2 Silverash can replace defender

In case you need more baits for ranged robots

[fierce hawk]

He gets 1 hit on the last stage hahaha

[glass monolith]

IS event broke me to start using S2 Silverash

[fierce hawk]

I use SA to clear the mobs at the top

[fierce hawk]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA S2 SA is really optional/niche tho

Most content S3

Im thinking of using unectus e1

Just for the def idk if it'll hold tho

Unectus got high def + hp

[glass monolith]

i used S3 + sp module

[vernal lion]

oh Ling strat works

just need max Perfumer and Skalter

that one leak is just I forgot to proc skill

but yea this worked

[gleaming lodge]

4ops sounds like a lot

[vernal lion]

bruh

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah without ling record already 4 ops, its banana like usual

[foggy grove]

what's the 4 op

[scarlet fulcrum]

Saga thorns sexas reedic

https://youtu.be/s36vtlr6sT4

Dalao banana

[weak gazelle]

so many smoll fry
reedic s3 right?

[vernal lion]

hmm

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea

S3

[weak gazelle]

sexas for fast random art dps when it needed

[scarlet fulcrum]

Sexas can solo bottom actually

[weak gazelle]

it is
be it s2 or s3 doesnt matter much

[scarlet fulcrum]

For last robot s2 better ig

Faster i meant

[weak gazelle]

oh yeah last 4 robots
s3 would be the choice

[scarlet fulcrum]

bottom one, s3 need 2-3 times iirc. While s2 just chilling there

Good thing this one also no leak, awakened sleeping robot doesnt reduce rewards iirc

[weak gazelle]

yeah

it just pain in the ass when they woke up

[scarlet fulcrum]

[turbid badge]

yk the ones on the right

[weak gazelle]

when team still busy hitting other mobs

[turbid badge]

right bottok

smh i didnt even need to go out of my way to kill them

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah only for clean freak purpose

[weak gazelle]

well i did that tho

[scarlet fulcrum]

Same

[weak gazelle]

that the reason i stuck with 8 ops
can lower it too around 6-7 if im being a nerd

[forest quiver]

Hello folks is there any clear videos of ange with sl1 paradox sim that I can copy

[scarlet fulcrum]

ILA did 6 ops with 5*, asbestos sounds good choice for bot tbh. I didnt watch just guessing from list

[latent monolith]

They were the first robots I killed

[weak gazelle]

yeah asbestos was the safe choice

[vernal lion]

hmm I will try 3 op with Myrtle s2, Ling s3, Perfumer s2

[weak gazelle]

it just this time i play with liskarm rng

[latent monolith]

Why myrtle S2

You could try like canta maybe?

Have vanguard do a bit more

[vernal lion]

because 3 rocket launcher bots fuck your run

[latent monolith]

Ines where

[vernal lion]

ugh, 3 op, hello?

EN ?

[latent monolith]

Yeah
