strategy

[tidal sedge]

Dont have her built, I'll just tank it

[ebon elk]

Who'd be the better pick here? I'm thinking of choosing between Mudrock and Lee.

[heady hedge]

i never use lee

you can pick mud for 4vg1g mud

i am a courier picker

[ebon elk]

Fair enough

[tidal sedge]

Bruh the real boss are the fucking Reeds

They refuse to stop burning

[scarlet ledge]

@glass monolith

[timid schooner]

why this is harder than normal mode lol

it only add some flames lol

[main halo]

EX-6 CM is truly something

Gave me no choice but to bring out my high rarity OPs

[glass monolith]

Because all CM modes have hidden buff. All content after 3rd anniversary commonly have +20% to all stats (this can be different per stage), older content have +10%

[main halo]

In other words, I shouldn't try to use low rarity to beat CM modes

Pain in the ass

[glass monolith]

I was telling Dokutah why it doesn't work when it is "just burning reeds". Continue your suffering as usual

[main halo]

[lucid mirage]

Wait what? They amped the buff to 20? Damn. I was wondering why skadi was suddenly failing when she had room to spare on nm.

[glass monolith]

I checked, EX-8 CM is +20% to all (ATK, DEF, HP)

[lucid mirage]

[glass monolith]

During IS event one of CM stages even had +30 enemy attack speed for some fucking reason

[lucid mirage]

Which one?

[glass monolith]

(This is for Texas alter event, not current one)

[lucid mirage]

...Woof.

[glass monolith]

I guess even hypergryph knew how bullshit cleaners are if they made most CMs be +10% atk

[solemn delta]

handhold me

[lucid mirage]

Got a mlynar? He's really handy for baiting the plus shape explodey thing.

And killing stuff.

[split bone]

mountain can solo left side, add ptilo with her

[solemn delta]

yes where to place mlynar

[lucid mirage]

In the reeds on the bottom right

Use him to clear fliers while GG is distracted, take out the brigadier to lower pressure on hoshi, and finally just kill evil reed

[formal moss]

Oh wait Also Put GG or chalter under skalter

If GG s3 Use chalter

[solemn delta]

i have GG both in s3 and s2 m3

[formal moss]

Use s2 gg below her

Thats Exactly how the Kyo guide did it

[main halo]

Mf

[formal moss]

i forgor to mention that you need to place your defenders last

[main halo]

HG is being too good at cooking

You guys aren't Walter White

[solemn delta]

@formal moss pretty sure i did setup earlier and still died D:

[formal moss]

Can you send me a screenshot on where it fails?

[split bone]

u can use mudrock instead of hoshi

[cosmic thicket]

if u use mudrock make sure u kill the mortar guys asap

i genuinely don't think reed alter does anything useful in this map

[split bone]

also use practice mode, dont waste of sanity

[main halo]

Kaltsit helps better imo

[solemn delta]

ye i switched to mud and beat it

[split bone]

[solemn delta]

ty

[lucid mirage]

Realter instead of shining and taxes won't be necessary.

[cosmic thicket]

honestly once you figure out the stall setup it's actually pretty easy

[warm topaz]

From what I tried earlier, Mountain s2 and Reed s2 can handle the left side by themselves so should have some leeway for right side with one more op

[main halo]

I wonder how many attempts must Kyo did before able to beat these CMs

[cosmic thicket]

afk strategy probably like less than 3

[main halo]

Like I tried to cheat by using a 6* or 2 and still unable to beat this

[cosmic thicket]

u bring all the broken ops and it solves itself

[main halo]

And low rarity?

[cosmic thicket]

low end maybe like 10

[main halo]

Damn

[warm topaz]

Btw did imvik beat it already? Cause I was thinking of trying something

[cosmic thicket]

kal borrow is obvious from FC-8 and then you basically just stall which is a very common low rarity tactic

[tidal sedge]

Trim Medal is driving me insane

Is this shit gonna make me build my other Wandering medic too

[cosmic thicket]

For trim you just have to place stuff smartly

I only needed 1 wandering medic

[main halo]

You didn't buy Honey during SN?

[tidal sedge]

Other Wandering medic

[lucid mirage]

Wandering what? Just face tank the burn with nightingale.

[main halo]

Thought there's only one in shop?

[tidal sedge]

I don't have NG

[cosmic thicket]

Mulberry

Chestnut

[tidal sedge]

Yeah, but Mulberry exists

[main halo]

These are pulls

[lucid mirage]

Chestnut doesn't exist.

[cosmic thicket]

Bro

Read pls

[tidal sedge]

I'm using Honey with Mlynar and Penance for the left, all good she keeps it extinguished until the last moment

[lucid mirage]

I standby my statement. Chestnut is not real. Chestnut does not exist. I do not have a max pot Chestnut.

[tidal sedge]

Who uses him anyway

[cosmic thicket]

honeyberry and thorns worked for me for left

maybe needed a pioneer behind him for extra block idr

[main halo]

6 unignited reeds

[lucid mirage]

No one because he doesn't exist.

[main halo]

HG really can't stop cooking

[cosmic thicket]

6 is fine though

[tidal sedge]

Is it easier to extinguish the Melee tiles or Ranged ones?

[cosmic thicket]

u can do 3 on left and 4 on right

[formal moss]

maleknights

[main halo]

Worth a shot

[tidal sedge]

Which 4

[lucid mirage]

It's a combination of both. If you don't extinguish every reed in a chain, everything is going to burn all over again.

[cosmic thicket]

The upside down L shape

Like there's just a set of 4 reeds isolated in the top right

[tidal sedge]

Oh the top right

[lucid mirage]

4 top right, 1 bottom right, 3 middle left, and if you have 2 trappers, then everything in the center.

[cosmic thicket]

There's no point removing burn in centre though

Are you actually trying to deploy stuff there

[lucid mirage]

Oh right you can't deploy on those tiles.

[glass monolith]

Bring Stainless S1/S2 and abuse his devices to get rid of fire

[tidal sedge]

Minus reminding me why I shouldn't have skipped Stainless everyday

I can use Trapper for top right, the fire doesn't affect the traps?

[cosmic thicket]

Any pseudosummon works, like skalter seaborn, shamare doll, even tactician summon tioo

[last mist]

Finally some usage for vigil

[tidal sedge]

Still not gonna use him

[glass monolith]

4 top right and 1 ranged bottom right tiles can be fixed from fire permamently. After which you will need 1 more reed for trim. 2 clusters of reeds one on left, one on bottom right have 1 tile you can't deploy, but if you block fire spread from it you can get rid of other 5 on left/2 on right

[grand ginkgo]

what does the medal do
i saw some medals gib a reward

sorry probably a help question

[tidal sedge]

No lol, medal is just for flex

[glass monolith]

Medal are pure flex material

[grand ginkgo]

i saw like a recruit ticket for 2 operators though?

maybe it wasnt medals

[tidal sedge]

That's green certs shop probably

[glass monolith]

Those are permament medals, one you talk about is for recruiting X times, operators it give are not used

[grand ginkgo]

Ah i see, thanks

[glass monolith]

Until chapter 12 adds Gazlow base combo for people who have Siege to do something

[tidal sedge]

Never heard of that until now wow

[grand ginkgo]

[remote atlas]

What Defenders?

[unique crow]

Liskarm,Cardigan and Cuora
(Actually at this timing I have already cleared it)

i borrowed Ling and stalled with those guys

[tidal sedge]

The Trap strat was amazing, thanks

[unique crow]

i heard goldenglow negs eblana's shield tho

[copper prawn]

i know this is a rather silly question but anyone has s1m3 Tomimi?

should've mastery'd her when i had the chance

[unique crow]

i read this sometime after i finally beat fc ex 8

[unique crow]

^^

[scarlet fulcrum]

No, most likely the shield wear out when that happens. Placebo be like

[quartz pendant]

My degenerates in Christ, I ask for your advice

Between Mudrock and Penance, who should I replace for my Bleminshine

I call forth, those who have never touched grass

Answer my call

[unique crow]

depends on situations

[quartz pendant]

General Content Clearing

Also known as speed running the story for lore purpose

[gleaming lodge]

probs Penance is better

[fluid sail]

for general content mudrock & penance are similar enough you can use whichever for the most part

[gleaming lodge]

Penance is more damage oriented than Mudrock

though, Penance benefits a lot from being alone, which isn't the case for Mudrock

so is probably easier to use

[remote atlas]

Mudrock S2 is great for set and forget.

[gleaming lodge]

so is Penance S3

you need to click her every now and then

which I would argue is very easy

but too much for EN apparently

[tidal sedge]

Both are equally good in Chapter 10 for the most part too

[gleaming lodge]

also Ecko, since you argued for Saria S2 being her best skill I don't really trust you with defenders

[quartz pendant]

PFFT

[gleaming lodge]

[quartz pendant]

So my defenders for my squad blue is

Mudrock/Penance (switch them out depending) and Blemine

Thanks

[gleaming lodge]

squad blue ?

[quartz pendant]

no idea what that means but I'll just post my squad for critique from you all knowing gamers

[gleaming lodge]

as sad as it is, you'll not get disappointed by Mudrock S2
Mud S3 and Pen S3 will disappoint you if you suffer from skill issue
you choose...

[quartz pendant]

I do have skill issue

[gleaming lodge]

So my defenders for my squad blue is
you just said "squad blue"
what does it mean ?

[quartz pendant]

Oh

Autocorrect

[gleaming lodge]

the question is more like, do you want to climb out of it, or not ?

[quartz pendant]

I use swipe keyboard

[quartz pendant]

Obviously

[gleaming lodge]

then stop saying you are stupid

[quartz pendant]

Uhhhh

No

[gleaming lodge]

well

I said what had to be said

you are free to make your choice

[cinder pike]

does anyone if this event aoe from cannons are 8 tiles or plus sized

[tidal sedge]

what canon are u talking about?

[scarlet fulcrum]

8

[tidal sedge]

this rocket guy what's the problem?

[glass monolith]

Promlem - He is alive

[steep tartan]

i tried oyuki's guide with an s2m3 lvl 60 hoshi and she did ex and cm tanking of the boss just fine i tried my own cuora on the first stage but she died after boss' first hp bar
(nian with hoshi worked well too cause of the hp increase, probs coulda worked with cuora )

[cosmic thicket]

After deployment, immediately deals 165% ATK as Arts damage twice to all surrounding enemies and Stun them for 2 seconds, then releases a Sword Rain at up to 4 different targets within range every second that deals 130% ATK as Arts damage and Stun for 0.2 seconds

[uncut sluice]

Any advice for JT8-3? Im not the best at the game but i seem to be stumped by this mission

[civic bear]

have 2 frd to constantly bait burn

and then just spam heals for boss

then the lanes have 2 2blockers

[uncut sluice]

Im not sure what you mean but i think i have an idea, the only issue ive been running into is boss the mobs are easy but when she goes phase 2 i lose handedly

[civic bear]

phase 2 she does get higher atk

and the flowers

you have to kill it

to prevent them from exploding and hitting ur op

the position stays the same tho, its not rng

as in first cycle 2nd,3rdso on remains the same

[uncut sluice]

Trackin i tried using Pred to kill flowers with gravel but they dont make much difference to the outcome

[cosmic thicket]

isn't it based on what time you enter phase 2 in

wait what does ur squad look like

[cosmic thicket]

jeez 4 vanguards

recommend gamiya s1 though for arts dodge

[uncut sluice]

Like i said im not that good at this

[cosmic thicket]

recommend cutting reed zima for a second medic and a FRD, exu for another FRD

actually who's tanking

[uncut sluice]

Ive been level Nightgale for her summons to help with the inferno from phase 2 but shes a ways out atm

[cosmic thicket]

ng makes it easier but she's definitely not obligatory

[uncut sluice]

Saria and Thorns mostly

[cosmic thicket]

uhhhhh not nian?

[uncut sluice]

If i can get Nian down in time to tank she and Saria handke it just fine but when phase 2 pops Schwartz and Sutr are gone

[cosmic thicket]

i mean jt8-3 is mostly a stall stage

[uncut sluice]

I have what i think is an ok roster im just not sure of comp for this

[glass monolith]

Nightingale's suicide squad

[cosmic thicket]

i would recommend a composition of something like
1/2 vanguard
2 FRD (if you have texalter it's a lot easier), they can also be used to soak up a hit from the flowers
2 medic
2 laneholders
1 tank
guardmiya for secret ending
1 "boss killer" to speed up the stall
whatever

[tidal sedge]

well FC EX 8?

[glass monolith]

FC EX 8 is well because they are busy abusing Tatulah

[tidal sedge]

wait what?

[uncut sluice]

Tried it again with what i though was a better comp and she out up 3 burn effects killing my entire team

https://imgur.com/a/VvXhiff
Heres my roster im not sure who else to bring i saw a video awhile back using Thorns and Nightgale but idk who else to bring/level

[cosmic thicket]

holy moly where are your medics

[uncut sluice]

Photsis and Saria XD i didnt reall need anyone else up to this point

[quartz pendant]

Bro has NO medics....

Well I can't say that either since my main medics is Kal'stit and E1 Nightingale

[lapis hornet]

same I only have shining ng warf kal reed ptilo honey built

[turbid badge]

i rarley use honey tbh

[glass monolith]

My medics were Ptilo Silence and Nearl and it was enough to carry my , then things escalated

[turbid badge]

silence is such a good medic

drone op

[harsh gale]

Which module is the better module for kaltsit? 1 or 2

[full finch]

silence is only good at high investment
like mulberry

[glass monolith]

Silence was good at using S2 at places my big intelligence didn't supply with medics when I started

[lapis hornet]

I never used silence again after getting skalter

liked her when I was new tho

[turbid badge]

drone utility really nice to use i like using both skalt and her

[glass monolith]

I don't have Skalter so I did most ME move there is - Shoperator Sora S2M3

[shut siren]

can someone help me with ls-6 please? i can get to the final wave but then everything goes wrong

i tried using ling S2 but didnt help all that much

[gleaming lodge]

#media-content message

[tawny solar]

u should e2 pozy

[shut siren]

shes gonna be my next e2 after erato ^^

[manic juniper]

Yes everyone go watch squid's god move

[frigid kite]

Sure

[shut siren]

thank uu 🙏

im still stuck on it lol

[frigid kite]

Do you have Kroos leveled btw

[shut siren]

these are all my leveled snipers, kroos i leveled up a fair bit

[frigid kite]

How about Steward?

[shut siren]

i also got him leveled up a tiny bit

[frigid kite]

Do in that Order
Surtr S2
Bagpipe can either go S2 or S3
Penance = Mudrock
Spot = Gummy

[tawny solar]

@last marsh help pls

[tidal sedge]

Have this much 6* unit and still lost in this level?

[frigid kite]

No blaming

[shut siren]

ill try it tysm! is the top left one texas? and is the pumpkin kroos?

[last marsh]

for me, this is where i start, right side randed is retrieved once fire is out

[tidal sedge]

Just say it I only used SA and Exu still able to through this level.

[shut siren]

im new... 😭

[last marsh]

then this, chalter can be anything

[tawny solar]

mhm

i don't got reedic

she can be any other healer too right

[tidal sedge]

Yeah sure u new lmao u have Sutr and Chalter u call yourselves new I doubt that.

[frigid kite]

Stop

[tawny solar]

[last marsh]

healer, chen for caster

[frigid kite]

[tawny solar]

ok

[last marsh]

clear the wave, this is where it will be like

[tidal sedge]

Simplified we stall her.

[shut siren]

i had this account for a while for just pulling but i never really "played" the game, im starting to actually get into the game, so im new to actually "playing" the game

[tidal sedge]

Ok this makes sense

[last marsh]

retreat nrytle once her fire is out and put ranged in right lane to put out all fire, make sure there is at least 1 healer

[tawny solar]

ok

[last marsh]

use ng skill when avilable, that should do

[tawny solar]

thank u very much

[last marsh]

if things die after fires are out, it is fine, uncle will stop all fire spread, just pophealers and grind her down

[shut siren]

ok i think i placed things down too slowly, they managed to get past chalter just a second before her skill came up

time to retry

[tawny solar]

hm ok

[frigid kite]

Actually i think she should be able to still kill them

She still shots when they go in her tile

[shut siren]

OHH i didnt even know that 😭

[frigid kite]

Lol

[shut siren]

tyy

[last marsh]

if all fails, refer to some guides to youtube i guess, my team is on the higher end after all

[tawny solar]

saria died @last marsh

[tawny solar]

the guides don't help

[frigid kite]

Use NG S2

[tawny solar]

no wtf

[frigid kite]

And Saria S1

[tawny solar]

bruh

nightingale s2 is what i don't need rn

bro's tripping

[frigid kite]

[last marsh]

oh yeah, saria use s1

[tawny solar]

i am

i ahve her s1m3

have

[last marsh]

hmm, i have no idea, i had problem with others, never with mountain and saria

[tawny solar]

yeah maybe it's just cus my saria isn't maxed

eh i give up

i won't be getting this any time soon

[shut siren]

my texas is too weak to handle the top left, is there anyone i can replace her with just for the end wave?

[frigid kite]

Yeah

Use Pti S2

[tawny solar]

ling

her dragons

[turbid badge]

bro u have 99 dp

[shut siren]

ohhh thats probably a smart thing to do 😭

[tawny solar]

use ling s3

ling s3

[turbid badge]

also@did u ever even use Pozy

[tawny solar]

her dragons are stat sticks

he did not

probably

[shut siren]

they eat up the unit limits

[tawny solar]

just use one dragon

it handles an entire lane by itself

[shut siren]

who do i replace for ling? i cant fit a ling and a dragon with my current set up because of the limit

[tawny solar]

since when was there an ls 6

[tawny solar]

another defender

like idk mudrock or hoshi

just use a defender instead of texas

[shut siren]

i have beagle 😭

[tawny solar]

sure

[shut siren]

i barely have any leveled

[turbid badge]

who are ur e2

e1s

[tawny solar]

why is ls6 easier than ls5

[scarlet fulcrum]

even e1 fine, this is not high risk or smt. Just replace texas with ur mud

[shut siren]

i have mud holding a lane already

[frigid kite]

Just use Ptilopsis S2 💀

[tawny solar]

show us ur roster

bro

[shut siren]

wait 😭 im in the middle of doing it sorry

[tawny solar]

if ur texas is dead just leave

it'll refund all the sanity

[shut siren]

dasdjsalkhjas i got it, everything started dying but i did it tysm

[tawny solar]

wait

yeah

gj

[frigid kite]

@tawny solar and you should give a try to NG S2

[tawny solar]

i used her s2

everyone died

[frigid kite]

Pretty sad

Hmmmm

[tawny solar]

you think i haven't used her s2 before

ik what it does

and it doesn't do what i need

[frigid kite]

How's your team placed

[tawny solar]

i'm not gonna keep trying lol i give up

[tawny solar]

i put it up there

somewhere

exactly how HMarisa did

[frigid kite]

Alright and you say and Saria dies

And after thst i guess everything else fucks up

[tawny solar]

yes

everything else dies

because saria died

[turbid badge]

how does ur saria die

meanwhile me

[stable dune]

how do yall clear event ex7 cm without mlynar and friends

(I have him, just not feeling the nuke button today)

edit: ex7 sry

[frigid kite]

You remove Mlynar and then clear the stage

Btw is EX 7 the invisible stage

You can use SA instead

[thorny cypress]

i used silverash + marksman to kill the guys standing on the top lane
then hoshi to hold that joke of a miniboss and hellagur to solo the bottom lane

[turbid badge]

lmao juist use a strng biurst oiptn

[stable dune]

marksman works?

[thorny cypress]

silverash reveals them and the marksman kills the revive things

[turbid badge]

wtff ur hella could solo bottom?

Mine didnt die fast enough

so he kept leaking

had to use akafuyu

and it worked

[thorny cypress]

i was using S2, it was enough

[turbid badge]

ah okay ic

[thorny cypress]

• module 3

[turbid badge]

maybe my timingns were bad

regen so much he doesnt even get the aspd

smhh

[tawny solar]

she died anyway

idk how

but she did

[scarlet ledge]

[gleaming lodge]

now I just need to do either end2 or 3 for an actual world record

[grand ginkgo]

How many EX stages do yall think are clearable with e1 reed and e2 support unit as my only real units?

the e2 is cutter so i guess her too

[gleaming lodge]

do you have an E2 of your own ?

what is it ?

if so you might be able to reach EX-5 with some malding

but pretty sure E1 beats the event, just depends on what you have

[grand ginkgo]

.

[gleaming lodge]

oh bruh, I'm blind

cutter is not a very impactful E2 before masteries

honestly just borrow Ling S3

bring your vanguards

and huh, have fun ?

[grand ginkgo]

ill try i guess, but if it's "clearable with e1s", surely i wont have absolutely any trouble with any of the EX stages

im not coping you are coping

but ex 3 beat itself with kalt borrow so i guess it's alright for now

[gleaming lodge]

just use Ling honestly

turn your brain off

and enjoy life (uninstall AK)

[turbid badge]

probably because fire kek

idk or ur saria defective

[lilac oak]

Is Texas s3 or s2 better against Pompeii in is3?

[gentle finch]

Texas against Pompeii 💀

realistically speaking s2, but for the stage in general I prefer S3

I don't use Texas for the boss

[lilac oak]

Oh ok I see

[gentle finch]

if it's low diff maybe S2 can kill idk

[lilac oak]

Pompeii can be stunned too right

[gentle finch]

idk

[lilac oak]

I’ve got some arts buffs this run too

Hmm the wiki says it can so I’ll give it a shot

[gentle finch]

good luck

[lilac oak]

Ty ty

Sweet Texas s3 was the call

[gleaming lodge]

On the floor 4 map S3 is really good yeah

She kills 4 acid slugs per deploy as well

[tawny solar]

s3 stun cancels a lotta attacks from enemies and pompeii is annoying af so s3

but like

use someone else to kill pomp

texas dies too easily

[lilac oak]

Yeah makes sense

I should have used kroos alter on that run ig

Because I died to the Fire and Water stage

[viral vortex]

Could someone run me through the general usage of Irene for strats? I just can't see how I should use her
E2 Lv20

She just seems so frail

[cosmic thicket]

basically you let her charge up on some smaller mobs and when the big guy comes you press the skill button and it does a lot of damage

[wary wing]

place her in front of enemy
place healer
spam s3

[cosmic thicket]

on SSS stages you can skip the first step and instead feed her 5 vanguards

[wary wing]

for best results bring chen too

[viral vortex]

🤔 i'll see what I can do to mephisto with her, my favorite training dummy

[cosmic thicket]

also since irene's s3 is ATK scale it means buffs like warfarin s2 will go a very long way

[gentle finch]

I just helidrop her

[unique crow]

I hope hoshi spook me one day

[gentle finch]

interesting wish

[craggy helm]

If you can position her to the side of waves in a blocked tile it's better. She's pretty squishy

[surreal star]

How much % does modded blemi reduce arts w/ ng

ng p1 offskill btw

[full finch]

blem has base 10 res

NG gives +15

0.75 x 0.85

0.6375

36.25% less damage

[surreal star]

Maybe I’ll bring czerny then, thanks xolli

[vestal ocean]

hi uhh i cant seem to beat fc-ex-8 can i get some help? this is my team im running

[soft crystal]

Kaltsit?

What operators seem useless?

I dont think saria, hoshiguma are useful here

Also why arent you bringing another vanguard

[vestal ocean]

o

[pallid veldt]

hoshi is pretty good here

so is saria

the team looks fine tbh

except yeah replace bag with myrtle or something

also i think the play is NTR s3 not s2

but both work probably

[vestal ocean]

ill give that a try

[pallid veldt]

just hold boss with hoshi

do u have NG

[vestal ocean]

nope

[pallid veldt]

the team is probably fine

just be careful of hoshi like

randomly dying

[jade stag]

How does the targeting work for the ranged units in this event?

[vestal ocean]

:////

keep happening

like she explodes and kill my operator in the area

[lucid mirage]

Ranged enemies or ranged allies?

[jade stag]

Enemies

[lucid mirage]

Allies in reeds have camo which means they won't get targetted. Splash attacks still hit them. If the reeds are burning, they don't give camo.

Other than that, it's just standard targetting. Taunt>last deployed

[jade stag]

That seems wrong somehow

[scarlet fulcrum]

cars also reveal reeded ops

[jade stag]

Either deployment order or taunt feels wrong

[lucid mirage]

Is that Thorns in a mire?

[vestal ocean]

mire??

[soft crystal]

...

[scarlet fulcrum]

actually tile beside thorns is normal tile (neutral) <-

[soft crystal]

The event tile mechanic

[vestal ocean]

i dont read lol

[soft crystal]

En moment

[lucid mirage]

....

[vestal ocean]

lol

[cosmic thicket]

assuming you're doing the normal setup of "mountain handles left with help of nearl alter in phase 2" and "2 medics 2 defenders skalter 1 dps unit on right side" you can cut one of horn or thorns

[jade stag]

There's literally tutorial stages

[vestal ocean]

okok

[cosmic thicket]

actually where are you placing ur defenders

your team should definitely be able to handle it

[vestal ocean]

hosi near the blue door

[cosmic thicket]

is it like this

if not i would recommend a placement similar to this because of the boss' cross attack

i'm 99% sure this also works

but if not put shining bottom right of saria facing up

[lucid mirage]

Swap NTRK with thorns, he works better.

[vestal ocean]

ILL TRY THIS but like am i suppose to do dmg to the boss? like my horn do no dmg lol

[lucid mirage]

But really mountain with a healer has enough output on his own.

[cosmic thicket]

it's a stall so just spam s3 off cooldown

or use s1

[vestal ocean]

okok

[lucid mirage]

NTRK s2 chunks the boss.

[cosmic thicket]

the whole idea is to kill all the peons first so eblana can't regen her shield

then she's pretty easy to kill

[vestal ocean]

alr ill give it a try when my sanity is back

ty

[cosmic thicket]

np

cm should be similar

[timid schooner]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO I FINALLY DID IT

[soft crystal]

Wait you guys killed the mobs first before killing eblana?

Me bruteforce just kill her lmao

[sullen rover]

what

[soft crystal]

[vestal ocean]

oh u mean kill all the middle mobs?

damn

me niether

[dusky grove]

Ikr

Just true dmg

Stalling lmao

might want to try stalling on ex seeing that she gets really annoying

[soft crystal]

Nah you can still bruteforce ex with the help of aak

[dusky grove]

Her 2nd phases gets really stupid imo

Or maybe I am just clumping my ops

[soft crystal]

Yeah you probably are thorns+lumen just solos left side for me and i just kill eblana when shes close to the right side

[jade stag]

The annoying part to me is how much damage on fire reeds do

[dusky grove]

Reed deal 0 dmg whether base form or alter

But yeah kinda want built ele medic

[jade stag]

But my lupo squad has no healers

[dusky grove]

Brave

[tidal sedge]

How exactly does the crossbow enemy prioritization works when interact with Ling's summoning when fused?

Because every time when I fused the dragon, the crossbow enemies target priority became weird

[surreal star]

Crossbow enemy?

[tidal sedge]

Wait, it's called Dublin Cannoneer

The one that do splash damage after 2 attacks

[surreal star]

https://gamepress.gg/arknights/other/arknights-ling-s3-fusion-logic-and-relevant-info

I’m not sure exactly how to explain it directly but it’s in this article

[tidal sedge]

So that's how why the target mechanic became weird

So moving the dragon will end up being as the last op place

[tidal sedge]

Are there guides to reference who’s worth building and what not

[waxen swan]

That only work if you have the ops

[bold cedar]

Abyssal Hunter Only

[foggy grove]

🆗

[turbid badge]

ew

do it in cm

[foggy grove]

ah clear is not that interesting anymore,it's just stat stick

[bold cedar]

is there even a diffrence. its just Flames at the start

[lucid mirage]

+20% atk def and hp to enemies

[bold cedar]

ight imma try

[lucid mirage]

CM always gives a stat buff. It's just not consistent with the buff.

And sometimes 10% can break your strat.

[surreal star]

Nice

[turbid badge]

that +20% is so annoying

lol

it made my flamebringer strat unviable smh

[tidal sedge]

This is the correct Pillar set up right

The Tombkeepers ignore the pillar road blocks

[glass monolith]

So uh.... When is Lin event

[tidal sedge]

I am not sure if this will be helpful, but I did record how to complete today's daily contract (that will expire in 2 hours ) with most 3* characters
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AXYB6Zf8i4

I believe I adapted this strategy from Eckogen

[glass monolith]

Jessica - Survival tag because S2 adds dodge to her
Elysium - No Debuff tag because S2 reveals and debuffs

[scarlet fulcrum]

sooner or later he will ping you, since u did the ritual already

[tidal sedge]

the ritual?

[scarlet fulcrum]

dont mind it, doesnt matter anyway

[harsh spire]

how does a newbie with a small roster deal with this type of enemy?

[vital arrow]

You bait them

[autumn grotto]

theres one more rerun after this event before chongyue/lin

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah outheal or bait properly, the splash is 8 tiles around. Normal version not that hurt tbh

[harsh spire]

how do I bait in ak?

[thorny cypress]

deploy anyone on a tile away from your team

[autumn grotto]

juz deploy someone, usually a frd in a faraway location on the map

[thorny cypress]

gravel is a good temporary bait

[scarlet fulcrum]

Last deployed ops ouside reed in this event. They will revealed if blocking enemies or reed burned (or car nearby)

[harsh spire]

oh so i do bait but I usually bait someone weak enough that they die quickly unless i bait with my friend support unit

[autumn grotto]

ah the reason why we say frd is cos we bait only the special atk

so gotta time

easiest and most braindead solution is juz outheal obv

[scarlet fulcrum]

Bruh my typo

[harsh spire]

frd?

[autumn grotto]

but baiting usually we juz tank the normal atks then use frd like gravel/red to bait the big ones

[autumn grotto]

fast redeploy

[thick badger]

Outhealing is out of the equation when the boss OHKOs u tho

[autumn grotto]

eg gravel, red, phantom, texas alter

[harsh spire]

my small roster

[novel holly]

gravel's kit has the express purpose of being sacrificial bait, with fast redeployment (frd) and high survivability for the first few seconds she's around, you can consider using her

[autumn grotto]

idk i stalled eblana with a 90 hoshi and 3 healers 😂

[harsh spire]

anyone i could raise?

[novel holly]

Eblana does 0 damage lmao, it's just the fire

[autumn grotto]

for bait? no
for normal use? prob fia i like her

[autumn grotto]

fax

most fun baiting OHKO was steamknight

4 defender stall vry fun

[scarlet fulcrum]

Also we are talking about cannoner not eblana lmao

[autumn grotto]

ikik

[novel holly]

Skadi tank

[autumn grotto]

prob juz borrow a random texas alter frm somewhere then can help with clearing other enemies rather than juz baiting

[thorny cypress]

skadi + gladiia is free endless stall without healing, which is unsurprising since the boss deals no dmg

[novel holly]

who needs defenders and healers when you can just 1v1

[vital arrow]

Bait with a defender like beagle

[autumn grotto]

me who doesnt play AH knights be like

[vital arrow]

You just put her somewhere and let her eat all the mortar attacks

[thorny cypress]

even guard amiya (+ healer) can tank this boss

[autumn grotto]

for cm i juz threw hoshi onto a mire tile dpsd with mlynar healing with lumen, warafrin and honeyberry 😂

hoshi juz blocked everyone else also lol

i block early

[harsh spire]

I tried that although I felt like I wasn't focused on the battle itself when I did awhile ago, I'll try again

[thick badger]

Oof u just getting started u gonna have to optimize how u spend promotion resources. Since u lacking FRDs u will prob want yato which is the closest thing to a FRD in your pool

[autumn grotto]

if im being real tho idk how the proper playstyle is i kinda skipped those events when i started out

like legit juz the first 3ish

but i did hv surtr early so ig that makes a diff

[novel holly]

eblana is a weird boss, I feel like the intended playstyle against her is just stall, which is stupid and unfun

[autumn grotto]

i juz focussed on grinding other stuff and building my ops and tryna get more

[novel holly]

you can cheese with true damage (kalt), but it requires more commitment

not really a cheese tbh

the cheese is stall because 0 damage

[autumn grotto]

my non ex eblana clear i used amiya solo first phase then surtr + mlynar her second

aka tallulah clear strats

cm i juz stalled

cos honestly i dont hv that many non juggernaut lane holders

so theres that

my main dps against her was juz mlynar lol

[novel holly]

constant shields while mobs are alive = wait more mobs to die for no shields = stall
constant disarm = burst is harder, killing takes longer = stall

[harsh spire]

whose eblana

[vital arrow]

The boss

[novel holly]

current event boss

[autumn grotto]

the boss

[harsh spire]

event or story boss

[vital arrow]

In this event

If you're still now don't bother, just go as high as you can

[autumn grotto]

ye tru

[vital arrow]

This event's gimmick is pretty harsh for new players

[harsh spire]

yeah im mainly grinding for more orgnium for yalter

[thick badger]

Yeah the event will rerun eventually

[autumn grotto]

yep yep

[harsh spire]

are any of the next events more newbie friendly

[autumn grotto]

but ngl ur starting ops aint even that bad

fia and siege

[autumn grotto]

the nxt event is a rerun

and honestly idts

[scarlet fulcrum]

just ignore eblana talk indeed, they just want blogging. Reach as high as u could to especially FC-6 cause farm node

[autumn grotto]

i correct myself i hvnt played the nxt event before so idk

[harsh spire]

if only this game had continues after being defeated

[scarlet fulcrum]

The reason its called sanity

[vital arrow]

Next event is actually chongyue

So new event

And the gimnick is interesting

Some enemies can climb up to ranged tiles

So

[autumn grotto]

nono

lee first

i believe

then chongyue

[vital arrow]

They literally

[autumn grotto]

finally getting a good marksman

[vital arrow]

Said chongyue is 28th

[autumn grotto]

os i didnt play kroos alter back then

[autumn grotto]

ok maybe my information is outdated

idk

[vital arrow]

You're just following CN schedule

Which is not our schedule

[autumn grotto]

but imma be real ill rather hv lee first i need save

[vital arrow]

Yostar likes to swap around events

[autumn grotto]

im full investing in reed alter prob am 50 ish pulls in dont even hv 6*

no harmonie either

i instead gr 2 skyfires

mega stupid

[thick badger]

Skyfire is top himedere tho worth it

[autumn grotto]

its 2 dupes now

and i got passenger 60 max mod m3

and mostima

i prob am nvr gonna use splash casters

skyfire not waifu for me oso 😂
no offence

[lapis hornet]

almost every event is tough if you're new tbf

build up your roster a bit and you'll be breezing through them soon

[autumn grotto]

worst case u use support built 6* by watching kyostin guides

and every run u do on it is not auto

quite suffering but doable 😂

[glass monolith]

I wonder if you can stack movement speed buff on enemy in WVWWNB event so high enemy just phase thought blocker

[lucid mirage]

Heart of Surging Fire honestly wasn't. Not when E1 Jaye can solo the boss.

We need more newbie friendly events like that one.

[tidal sedge]

thanks to his guides I didn't lose my irl sanity, god bless kyostin

[harsh spire]

To defeat those crabs, which op should I borrow?

for fc-3

texalter ain't cutting it

[inland lily]

is your texas not built? I dont remember what enemy you're talking about but she should kill them anyways

[harsh spire]

the texalter isn't mine

[foggy grove]

what kind of texalter can't kill crab

[harsh spire]

the gloompincers are what I refer to as 'crabs'

[inland lily]

are you using s2 or s3?

[frigid tapir]

i mean consider he's at fc-3, i assume it's e0

[inland lily]

oh right

if you're using e1 s2 and dropping in mire

I guess atk speed down makes it so she cant kill

[foggy grove]

just e1 your kroos

it's cheap and doesn't need chip

[harsh spire]

look at this shit

these mf gloompincers

Texas can kill the first crab easily but not the second that comes out

[foggy grove]

it's likely because her skill run out

she is fast redeploy

she is not meant to stay on the field long

[inland lily]

I hope you retreated her after she killed 1st crab

[harsh spire]

how do i press retreat

i seem to sometime retreat ops at random

[frigid tapir]

select an operator

there will be buttons

[frigid tapir]

the black button with the red running person is the retreat button

[foggy grove]

also where is your healer

that fia losing her vigor buff

[harsh spire]

ig i should have placed fia on the other side since im not sure if my healer would be in range

gonna double check

[frigid tapir]

You have a healer? where?

[harsh spire]

ill change my squad

nvm

my other healers are hibi ansel and lancet-2

[frigid tapir]

anyways, try using a caster to shoot the crabs

[harsh spire]

yeah imma come back to this event tommorrow or day after

i just wanna complete my daily missions

[gritty eagle]

is Kalt'sit ultimately the best borrow for FC-EX-8 CM?

[tidal sedge]

no

Mylnar is da best borrow

[harsh spire]

who's my 'best' caster?

[vital arrow]

Lava steward and amiya

[gritty eagle]

12% true dmg

mlynar is good i guess if her shield is down

[tidal sedge]

I borrowed Mylnar before I got Kalt'sit

so yea

[tidal sedge]

did same thing but with today's contract
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62KxHGfMMnw

[scarlet fulcrum]

6* wandering, 6* pusher merchant, 5* pioneer wtf is this. Hope they will make beeg change

[north dagger]

wow

[remote atlas]

[tidal sedge]

guys what do u think about using Kal'tsit

[scarlet fulcrum]

Decent in general, doesnt scale too high

[tidal sedge]

what the hell is a die roll for in IS3?

[tidal sedge]

wow, nice to see you here, thank you for your guides, specially paradoxes for characters :D

[heady hedge]

it means you die

its a dice

at the bottom left side you can see how much dice you have

its used for stages, rerolling stuff

etc reroll ligma (once every run on floor end), wish fulfilled, shop

while stages dice you roll and enemies get aspd down mvspd down

[tidal sedge]

and what happens if you don't have any dice?

[heady hedge]

well you cant do any of what i said

[tidal sedge]

wait, so the reason why there's a dice mechanic so I can reroll? how do I do that?

[near folio]

What's the CM condition of FC-EX 8?

[heady hedge]

6 reed burns at start iirc?

and normal cm buff

[near folio]

Normal CM buff is 20% stats?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Lame condition, but the buff stat kinda notbad

[heady hedge]

uh on shop its like, well you can tell
reroll is on bot left side when dice rolls, only can reroll when you get smth bad iirc
you need to unlock it from tree

[near folio]

Well the stage is interesting enough ig

One good boss and one meh miniboss

But the map is big

Its been a while since we got a map as big as EX-8

[tidal sedge]

ok, also what's with the numbers? does that mean I can reroll every time each number?

[heady hedge]

uh

how do i explain this

numbers decides what you get

i guess

[scarlet fulcrum]

ignite and extinguish and sanity dmg also changed iirc, but not that much

[tidal sedge]

and what would they do exactly?

[heady hedge]

like on wish fulfilled node, if you roll a 1 you dont get the relic chosen and a diff one, 2-5 you get the chosen relic, 6+ you get relic + another random one

and you only can reroll on 1 cuz its bad

[tidal sedge]

oh, so the higher the number the better

[scarlet fulcrum]

just go with the flow

[heady hedge]

yeah basically

[wary wing]

just play

learn by doing

[tidal sedge]

how do I unlock the Ishar Mla ending and Knight ending?

[pale orchid]

Find knight or ishar encounter on first 3 floors

[tidal sedge]

the difficulty doesn't matter?

[pale orchid]

For knight once you get him I got to escort him till end of f4

[pale orchid]

I did it at d0

[tidal sedge]

you mean I can still get it in calm seas

[marble parrot]

the dice rolls for ligma also interact with the light mechanic

[tidal sedge]

[marble parrot]

u can achieve a 12-sided dice if u get the dice upgrade relic with the dice squad

otherwise the dice upgrade relic for any other squad puts u at an 8-sided dice

[pale orchid]

Uh no do it at surging waves

I’m not sure calm seas will unlock stuff

[tidal sedge]

ok

[shut siren]

can someone help me with 9-10? im trying to do it without support op to be able to farm it but the flying guys dont die
nvm i just needed angelina

[gleaming lodge]

Wait you can get a 12 sided dice ?

Dice squad + duck relic + ??

[marble parrot]

yes

just dice squad + duck relic

dice squad gets +4

other squads only get +2

[gleaming lodge]

Yeah but that's 10 sides

[marble parrot]

base dice is 6

[gleaming lodge]

Not 12

[marble parrot]

base dice for dice squad is 8

[gleaming lodge]

Oh wait
The duck relic gives +4 to dice squad ?

[marble parrot]

yeeee

[gleaming lodge]

Bruh ok, I didn't know

[marble parrot]

now u know

mans only played defender squad smh

[gleaming lodge]

That's weird though

-hope cost relics don't get better on people oriented squad

[gleaming lodge]

[glass monolith]

-hope relic makes your recruit cost 5?

D3 +1, based squad -1, relic -2

[frigid kite]

Well

Guards began to have modules

[glass monolith]

I more wonder what sort of glue they took to make limited wandering medic

[frigid kite]

Easy

They gave her the Arknights checks:
-Global skill ✅
-Unlimited skill ✅

[glass monolith]

Best event ever

La Pluma module, Male La Pluma module, GG L2D

[frigid kite]

Skin for menú

Now time to wait for that one Golden menú to come

One day

[sour mantle]

And they added : Bypassing enmity condition...

[turbid badge]

frfrr

goldenglow but heal

[vestal ocean]

:/

[tidal sedge]

Then what will happen in the end?

[vestal ocean]

i lost

here we go again

lets gooo

[tidal sedge]

Finally done yay

[granite moat]

i still need to do this stage

and cm
but dunno how kek

[lofty thicket]

laneholder on one lane, block eblana with a bunch of defenders and medics on the other and then just wait

[granite moat]

m3 thorns just dies on left lane though

s2m1 lvl60 mountain is enough there?

[lofty thicket]

I used a medic with the laneholder, or you could try both thorns and mountain like above

[granite moat]

think i'll put kal and mon3ter there

left side...i mean i have a skalter so that's a must i would say, and i would guess the position for nightingale on the pic is to not get blown up?

[lofty thicket]

probably, I cleared it by blocking eblana on the left side so

as long as you have enough healing and deploy the tank last it shouldn't really matter though

[granite moat]

is this cm proof as well?

i can do the same strat or...

[woven scaffold]

yes

stalling eblana is cmproof

you need a lot of healing as stated before tho

[granite moat]

skalter and nightingale s2 is enough hopefully

+saria

[woven scaffold]

yes

should do

[grand ginkgo]

I need help with ex-7

I get overwhelmed by 2 minibosses (well actually i get overwhelmed by just one) and at the top by big guys closer to the end of the stage

the only way i kill the unmasked miniboss is if i put mlynar here
otherwise the mud slows his attack down enough for the boss to survive at like 30 ish %

but like
mlynar just sits there after
and the minibosses in the middle + big guys on top fuck me up real bad

reed s2 doesnt do jack shit it feels like

[lofty thicket]

you could try putting him right next to the mid-lane exit

who cares if the top row of reeds burns down

then he can maybe help kill the other big guys with a second cycle

[grand ginkgo]

i tried to stall enough for mlynar to get off his death/retreat cooldown and charge up his skill 2nd time, but not only stalling didnt work, i have more than 1 line to worry about

[grand ginkgo]

sorry, which square?

d8?

[lofty thicket]

D3

[grand ginkgo]

oh i meant d3 yeah
facing up i guess...

i can try

[gentle finch]

there's two mini bosses?

[grand ginkgo]

2 guys with same ability as the miniboss but a bit weaker

[gentle finch]

huuuh

I thought it was one guy

[grand ginkgo]

yeah so
1 big guy buffed by fire
kills my defender thats buffed by reed s2

ex 6 is good enough

[quick pecan]

ex 6 is the better mat farm anyway

you will use that significantly more than sugar or solvent

[solid dew]

im amazed you got to that far with that team lmao, mylnar carry

[quick pecan]

oh wait ex

never mind i’m dumb

[grand ginkgo]

I just allowed e2s to carry, only did up to ex2 myself

myself aka with e1 borrow

[grand ginkgo]

fc6 im already farming yeah, ex is a diff beast
started borrowing on fc-7

[lofty thicket]

ex cm 🙂

[grand ginkgo]

i might try couple earlier stages for OP
depends on the rule the stage gives

[craggy helm]

Silverash facing up can reveal and kill them, maybe with a bit of help from reed or frd to kill the embers

[grand ginkgo]

the problem isnt their respawning

the problem is that they just dont fucking die and kill me in 2 hits

[glass monolith]

You need someone poking their reviving stuffs to die

[turbid badge]

who u borrow modtly

modtly

[glass monolith]

I mean, the other way, to not die

[quick pecan]

this event is kind of weird bc a lot of enemies have high armor in the ex stages which counters anti air

[turbid badge]

u can just beat the event with ling frfr

[quick pecan]

but then you want anti air for their fast hit to get rid of embers quickly

[craggy helm]

I dunno I had no issues on cm even, just used Reed to poke and Texas on far left to take out the last ember

[quick pecan]

but well

i just skalter buff blue poison 💀

thorns and her are nice bc their arts dot gets rid of the embers effortlessly

[turbid badge]

for my ex cm 8 i just have pluma with skalter duo left

[quick pecan]

bc the dot counts for the hit count

like is that arts dot doing damage?? no

but it’s a dead ember so

[turbid badge]

lol IW flashbak

[scarlet ledge]

so pro

[gentle finch]

i had reed and spalter

[fiery marsh]

Finnaly after 3 hours i finnaly was abble to do FC ex 8 cm with this team. If someone is wondering, yes is possible stall eblana with guardmiya, but well, two St medics and one strong nightgale. And watch the cannon guys.

[mental brook]

is it possible to clear fc-5 to fc-7 with E1 level 30 ops? managed to clear fc-5 with a support but I wanna ask if I could've managed without-

tbh fc-5 felt easier than fc-4 I fucking hate that goddamn artillery

[frigid kite]

Share team

Btw artillery what

When did Eblana take Londinium cannon

[sly drift]

Why do we stall eblana with guard amiya. Doesn't defender can do better stall?

[turbid badge]

Umm

why?

[sly drift]

Or 4 fast redeploy

[turbid badge]

depends on which defender

[sly drift]

Cuora or Liskarm..

Maybe Asbestroll

Why Amiya

[frigid kite]

Nah let Noir Corne Shine

Rise and Shine Mr.Corne

[turbid badge]

allat res

[sly drift]

How much is amiya res

[turbid badge]

i used liskarm but i think eblana decreases res with the disarm thing

oh wait nvm

its the arts dodge

[turbid badge]

20

60% arts dodge

on activate

[fiery marsh]

In my case i Just dont have someone who can do It, i tried guard amiya and worked

[sly drift]

Ah...

[fiery marsh]

And defender Will suffer with burn damage of the mobs too

[turbid badge]

yeah

[fiery marsh]

Ah, but depends of the placemant, i used guard amiya upside the Bush of the bottom right part

So i coul vanish eblana later with bagpipe

[bright swan]

How did my operator die?

[pallid heath]

This anni was the hardest one in a while, eh?

Still don’t know what the holes were for

[bright swan]

I am assuming thats because I didn't activate skill

[somber falcon]

Her skill went off

[bright swan]

Which skill?

[bright swan]

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

I was using modified guide

of this

and was not sure if it works on cm

[unique shoal]

I also think your healer in bot right died to her basic ranged arts

[bright swan]

I guess it will be different story if I did activate skill

[cosmic thicket]

i don't think so

[unique shoal]

What level is your Hoshi

[bright swan]

It's borrowed. 60 level sl7 module 2 y

[cosmic thicket]

like sussurro's skill gets disabled

[somber falcon]

It's not, because sussuro is dead either way

[cosmic thicket]

i recommend borrowing mudrock

[bright swan]

I have maxed mudrock

[cosmic thicket]

mudrock with skalter stalls eblana

ok maxed means you probably don't need skalter anyway

[timid acorn]

The only thing that could've prevented that is a better timing on lumens skill and even then that was really tight

[sharp mango]

Ahh why durin is used
Did I missed anything

[cosmic thicket]

oh yeah lmao

[cosmic thicket]

arts dodge, she's probably meant to be deployed last to bait hits from eblana

[unique shoal]

Think he's copying some low tier playthrough

[somber falcon]

Carbon copying

[sharp mango]

Man had 4 medic and 1 skalter

[cosmic thicket]

also ecko really likes using funny units

[bright swan]

There wasn't guide I am satifised with

so I had to make out of exisitng one

[wary wing]

man has E2 1 skalter

account damage

[sharp mango]

Real

[unique shoal]

I don't think you're supposed to 1:1 guides. Low Tier guides are more guidelines if you're using them

[cosmic thicket]

actually do you have horn

[bright swan]

Nope

[bright swan]

it's someone account not mine :)

[cosmic thicket]

borrow horn then let me show u what i did
