strategy

[bright swan]

alright

which skill?

i am assuming it is auto?

i got this one

[cosmic thicket]

that's fine

u just need her bc she has fat range

[bright swan]

yeah she is amazing

[cosmic thicket]

does the acc have honeyberry

[bright swan]

yea

[cosmic thicket]

ok cool

e1? e2?

[bright swan]

sl7

i can try e2 her

lemme check

i can't e2 her

[wary wing]

pls do yourself a favor and get better friends

[bright swan]

chip is issue rn

[wary wing]

slvl7 Support units are illegal

[bright swan]

clue > support character

ok thats joke

[cosmic thicket]

this stalls

e2 honey doesn't matter

[bright swan]

Must I be concerned about fire?

[cosmic thicket]

no

[sharp mango]

Imagine only needed clue slaves
Just have friends who is good clue slaves and support slaves

[cosmic thicket]

maybe put like a vanguard right of horn to put out the fire there if you're super worried

[sharp mango]

[bright swan]

I don't know if perfumer is enough to handle fire status

[cosmic thicket]

the 4 tiles in the corner are all isolated so once you put out all the fire for all of them you're fine

[bright swan]

what about dp generation?

oh nvm

I got you

[cosmic thicket]

bring ur best vgs this is only 7 slots

just make sure u bring someone to kill the mortar guy when phase 2 starts

[turbid badge]

wait this works in cm?

[cosmic thicket]

with skalter yes

[turbid badge]

wtf mudrock tank

[bright swan]

skalter and mudrock is busted

[cosmic thicket]

even with perfumer alone works

[wary wing]

if I were as deranged as to 90 an operator

[cosmic thicket]

because bro has e2 max mudrock

[wary wing]

the minimum I would do would be m6 it

but you have there a friendlist without masteries

rip

[bright swan]

alright

[cosmic thicket]

ok u win

wait

there's no way fang is one of the 4 best vgs here

why is texas on s1

[bright swan]

fine

[bright swan]

no mastery

[cosmic thicket]

s2 still comes up faster

[bright swan]

better

[wary wing]

man is taking Texas S1
that tells you everything you need to know

[bright swan]

ahh didn't know

well

[cosmic thicket]

tfw 24 > 14

[bright swan]

I mean

s1 is useful in annihilation when logical

but yeah

i get you

i will use that one

it's that my inexperience is reason

anyway

[cosmic thicket]

i see

[bright swan]

doing it now

[cosmic thicket]

wait if you're inexperienced how do you have access to such a well built acc

[sharp wadi]

Just ancient tech

I've use siege s1 for anni

[bright swan]

it's my best friend account

i am helping friend out with stage

[cosmic thicket]

interesting ok

[sharp wadi]

It doesn't matter how high rarity, just use you highest pioneer and slvl7

Except flametail, her s1 looks painful to watch

[bright swan]

my main account have more well built operator than my friend account

also I have to say

it's really odd strategy

@cosmic thicket spalter died.

i guess she need more hp

[turbid badge]

spalter?

oh try to bait the brand

in p2 theres two

[bright swan]

OH I forget about that too

[turbid badge]

and than when the reed sets back shes camoflagued again

cause when p2 dtarts she burns all the grass

[bright swan]

yea

and damage two operator?

and one happens to be spalter

[turbid badge]

Nah she just can put the lurle thing on two

Purple

[bright swan]

I thought it was fire damage

[turbid badge]

it makes themnnot to attack

and does alot of arts when it disappear

it pops it can hit all adjacent tiles

[bright swan]

i think it's fire damage

[golden crag]

how to beat 6-5?

[cosmic thicket]

the bind only affects mudrock due to the positioning, assuming eblana isn't splitboxed

[bright swan]

oh it's based on her position

i see

[sharp wadi]

If you place frd like this, there's chance boss to shot you

[bright swan]

i didn't splitbox her

[sharp wadi]

More details, stage and ops you have all of them

[cosmic thicket]

levels on skalter would probably help a lot

she wants levels anyway so

[bright swan]

yup

[turbid badge]

wtf skalter

what lvl is she

[cosmic thicket]

1

[turbid badge]

no wonder

mine didnt die to fire so was confused why urs did

[bright swan]

this is what I mean

[sharp wadi]

It's not split box, if you place ops near mud rock there's chance to curse seal your deploy ops and kill someone who on + shape

[bright swan]

fire damage does 1k damage right?

[turbid badge]

just give more lvls yea

[cosmic thicket]

1200 arts

[full finch]

burn procs reduce RES by -20 and then deal 1200 arts damage

[turbid badge]

1200

[full finch]

NG in shambles

[bright swan]

you are confusing me

so basically

[sharp wadi]

With fire damage you just bring high burst heal so save perf s2

[bright swan]

oringinal damage is 1000, but -20 res increase it to 1200?

[cosmic thicket]

no

[full finch]

it's 1200 damage

[cosmic thicket]

it's originally 1200 but also inflicts -20 res

[bright swan]

okay

[full finch]

which means if the operators had res

[turbid badge]

it builds up to 1000

u see the bar

[full finch]

then it's not calculated

[cosmic thicket]

yeah in 90% of ops they just take 1200 damage

[full finch]

since only casters have 20+ res

[bright swan]

1202 hp

[turbid badge]

loll

[sharp wadi]

With extra dots

[turbid badge]

no wunder

[bright swan]

i am laughing hard over this

ok i will level her

[sharp wadi]

Also pffffff

You can even e2 20 Damm it

Green and blue exp card with few lmd should do

[bright swan]

ok leveled her to 30

[cosmic thicket]

matterhorn and some e2 supporters:

[bright swan]

also

[full finch]

matter horn only has 15 res I thought

[bright swan]

halley

[cosmic thicket]

mod3 gives him 25

[full finch]

wtf

[bright swan]

i was confused by hovering enemy

[cosmic thicket]

stun them with texalter and they drop

[bright swan]

placement don't counter it

[turbid badge]

abjurers have 25? i think

[bright swan]

thats what I did

[turbid badge]

[bright swan]

i thought squad did handle those

alright

doing stage now

[full finch]

hexers have 33 res with p4 iirc

[turbid badge]

waow

[cosmic thicket]

uhhh i kinda forgot to mention it but when i saw u had texalter i was like "ur fine"

angelina has 25 res at e2, suzuran as well

[bright swan]

yea i get it dw

[cosmic thicket]

gnosis does not get res with p4

shamare does and so does pramanix

[turbid badge]

nah gnosis doesnt have +8 res sadly

[full finch]

rip

atk probably better anyway

[cosmic thicket]

also i love how this is the gamepress review of shamare

[turbid badge]

the con

[cosmic thicket]

"her dps is very low" no shit

[turbid badge]

[bright swan]

wdym dps vey low

thats.

whats role of shamare-

[turbid badge]

debuffer

[cosmic thicket]

debuff with doll

[full finch]

"High RES and HP"

[bright swan]

do debuffer need high dps?

[cosmic thicket]

no

[turbid badge]

no

[bright swan]

when all it does is increase damage to enemy

[gentle finch]

Her DPS is very low

[turbid badge]

well shamare does arts and her doll decreases defense

[full finch]

does anybody even use shamare talent

[gentle finch]

wow what a bummer

[bright swan]

oh hi pallas enjoyer

[turbid badge]

s1 shamare users

[bright swan]

haven't seen you in long time

[gentle finch]

i

[turbid badge]

gnosis beat shamare tho in fragile even with s1 pretty sure

[bright swan]

also

[gentle finch]

do I know you

[bright swan]

con feel little silly to me

[turbid badge]

dps defender

[full finch]

"Great DPS"

[cosmic thicket]

dee pee ass

[bright swan]

it's hoshiguma btw

[turbid badge]

do i see s3

[gentle finch]

gamepress is funny

[turbid badge]

[full finch]

gamepress has some pretty outdated evaluations

[bright swan]

ok i am doing good then

[cosmic thicket]

yes

[turbid badge]

yes

[bright swan]

on second thought

[full finch]

in addition it's hard to properly rank units when nobody has experience with all of them in all scenarios

[cosmic thicket]

the fire extinguishes before burn procs again so skalter should stay alive

what

ok maybe proc a skill

[turbid badge]

yea

[bright swan]

when you said proc a skill

you mean bait it like ||jt-8-3||?

[full finch]

[cosmic thicket]

no

use perfumer skill

[turbid badge]

perfumer

[bright swan]

what do proc mean for

[cosmic thicket]

use

[bright swan]

ah

ok

[timid acorn]

Eblana killed them, using a skill wouldnt have helped

[bright swan]

video of it happening

[timid acorn]

she hit skalter with the disable

[full finch]

do note

[cosmic thicket]

what

[full finch]

the skill also deals damage

besides burn

[cosmic thicket]

doesn't eblana have an attack radius of 2 tiles

[turbid badge]

yea

thats in her atk radius

[cosmic thicket]

shouldn't skalter be out of range then

what

[full finch]

no

that's within 2 tiles

[bright swan]

it's not splitboxed btw

[full finch]

recall

that this 2 tiles

is a circle

[turbid badge]

yes

i was confused but ig fire killed u before she could disarm

[sharp wadi]

It's not cross sign?

[full finch]

there are so many more circles in this game than you can imagine

more than there are tiles

[cosmic thicket]

ok then don't put skalter there

you don't actually need her

[turbid badge]

tbh u can just bait it

[cosmic thicket]

i swear skalter wasn't hit with the attack in my run

[sharp wadi]

I saw it cross sign visually, and place ops on it, mostly you range ops will die because of frd

[gentle finch]

maybe u had her blocked further down

[full finch]

only the skill effect is cross shaped

[gentle finch]

eblana

[full finch]

and

[cosmic thicket]

im pretty sure it's the same formation

[full finch]

even thought it's cross shaped

it might be circle in disguise

[sharp wadi]

Well field test

[full finch]

*this is real and has occured before

[cosmic thicket]

nah the effect is a cross shape

[full finch]

since operators have static hitboxes

you can technically make a circle that hits in a cross shape

[turbid badge]

uea

[full finch]

and it's effectively identical

[gentle finch]

maybe skalter and perf positions were swapped? idk

[bright swan]

thats not healing mudrock

[gentle finch]

I had my skalter where perf was

[cosmic thicket]

possible

[bright swan]

ok i will try swap

[gentle finch]

no don't

[bright swan]

alright

[gentle finch]

if you need her to help stall

[cosmic thicket]

you don't actually need skalter to heal mudrock since u have perfumer

[gentle finch]

I did a completely different strat

[cosmic thicket]

i did the calculations and a perfumer even with no skill is fine at that level

[gentle finch]

nice

[bright swan]

oh yeah her global passive healing

[cosmic thicket]

especially since ur perfumer is modded

[gentle finch]

you can always use seaborne to top up as well

or just not use skalter

[bright swan]

i will replace mulberry with skalter

is that okjay?

honeyberry*

[cosmic thicket]

i mean for left the burn actually kind of matters since the fire will constantly spread to blaze

[bright swan]

then i will place skalter's summon on right

[bright swan]

well

one healing is enough to keep blaze alive

from my experience

[cosmic thicket]

alright

[bright swan]

if not, I can replace her with honeyberry anyway

[turbid badge]

pfft

[bright swan]

it works in your end?

[turbid badge]

no

look at her

[bright swan]

OH

[sharp wadi]

@full finch

[turbid badge]

thats not cm

well

doesnt matter really sonce hoshi can live cm anyways

[sharp wadi]

Was cm range different?

Since i talk about range over stat

[turbid badge]

oh

[sharp wadi]

He said elbana range is circle, but I saw it cross shaped

[turbid badge]

lol its easy

just bait it once

and than the reed is back

[timid acorn]

the 3 messages from there

[turbid badge]

[timid acorn]

it can still be a circle

[sharp wadi]

This not like BI binding range which affected in circles range

[bright swan]

do

skalter summon affect

it

i am little confused rn

[sharp wadi]

Most ops die to this boss because cross shape affect it or boss put it on ranged ops

[full finch]

operator hitboxes are not the size of a tile

at least

not their damage hitbox

[bright swan]

@cosmic thicket

[sharp wadi]

Yes likely 3.7 like mara said

[cosmic thicket]

you're not killing off the mortar guy

the mortar guy is popping mudrock's shields which is critical to the stall

[bright swan]

oh

it was not mentioned

alright

[full finch]

like so

[cosmic thicket]

hi hello

[bright swan]

i guess i need to open my mind a little

[bright swan]

my bad

[turbid badge]

baited

now skalters invisible cuz fire gone

didnt expect mud shield to carry that hard lolol

[sharp wadi]

Yes so they can assume each stage better than fixed, so elbana attack would be circle ranged
But for fc-ex 8 effects on that vicinity is mostly cross

[cosmic thicket]

i mean eblana's attack interval is 9s on mire and mudrock regens a shield every 9s, even with double hit mudrock still generates HP faster than eblana can take it down

[turbid badge]

stonk

[sharp wadi]

Until someone test the range differ each location

[full finch]

you don't get it

operator hitboxes are centered in their tile

[cosmic thicket]

excrist moment

[full finch]

and never move

meaning

a static value circle

will always hit the same tiles every time

achieving an identical effect to tile based

unlike enemy hitboxes that move around tiles

[sharp wadi]

Nah I just make it simple since we already know that from BI

[full finch]

a visual example of this

[sharp wadi]

Since mark is fixed on hoshi body

[turbid badge]

[full finch]

is emperor's blade

[bright swan]

I am curious, is ranged operator visually different by just being moved little up?

[turbid badge]

hmm?

[bright swan]

When you place operator on range tile, it is evelated up a little in visually

or am I wrong and is it perspective thingy

[full finch]

it's perspective

arknights is a 3d game

with 2 sprites attachted to it

the terrain really is 3d

so the operators are technically elevated yes

but as far as I know

it has no mechanical effect

[bright swan]

thats why it look elevated to me

perspecte thingy I guess

bad example tho

[full finch]

.

[full finch]

.

[bright swan]

yes my bad

i didn't read

i am slowly losing my sanity on this stage

[sharp wadi]

So It look like this

[full finch]

idk what your're trying to test

you won't get different effect regardless of circle or tile

[bright swan]

mudrock died

[turbid badge]

lmao

[sharp wadi]

Use normal defender better

[turbid badge]

uhh

well of course

skalter seaborne isnt 100% uptime

[bright swan]

i am aware of that

[cosmic thicket]

u dont need seaborn?

[bright swan]

but halley said that perfumer can handle it fine

[turbid badge]

did u click the perf skill

before

or donu just leave it

[bright swan]

i didn't proc it

[turbid badge]

oh

[bright swan]

because perfumer can't heal mudrock?

[turbid badge]

if u proq she heals more

bruh

[bright swan]

OH

[turbid badge]

it increases her atk

[sharp wadi]

So I can assume it as cross now, only for this stage, I just show if I draw circle only ng and paprika should take damage but it seem something something didn't reach to like before

[turbid badge]

mfw

[bright swan]

ok i learnt something new

[cosmic thicket]

(use s2)

[bright swan]

240% atk

yea

[turbid badge]

lololo

[full finch]

...did you not read anything I type

[sharp wadi]

Yes since know that from BI so just assume only you ops got hit, no need to think another since they didn't get hit make it simple

[turbid badge]

[full finch]

I was just expressing that a cross shaped attack could be implemented mechanically as a circle

regardless of visual effects

not that it would somehow make the attack hit more targets

[fiery marsh]

What is the problem with the hitbox? A operator that shouldnt be hitted is getting hit?

[full finch]

there's no problem

[sharp wadi]

Well I know what you talking

[full finch]

then why did you attempt to test it

[gentle finch]

skull

[turbid badge]

skill

[turbid badge]

noce

[gentle finch]

cool

[bright swan]

i guess I learned a lot

[gentle finch]

mhm

[bright swan]

perfumer was cool one

[fiery marsh]

Wellcome to the club

[gentle finch]

that's the good thing about using #strategy

instead of a guide

[turbid badge]

WAIT

did u get the medal

[gentle finch]

waiting

[turbid badge]

toh

[gentle finch]

u can't get medal from cm

[turbid badge]

wait cm doesnt have medal

Yea

[sharp wadi]

Just attempt for that stage someone will using it to clear, also I try for something will be like BI since it's same circle

[turbid badge]

nooc

[gentle finch]

I didn't clear shop yet

[turbid badge]

m2

[gentle finch]

I spent some sanity to farm chips

[fiery marsh]

I think is obtainable in cm, but why suffer this much

[gentle finch]

it's not

[scarlet fulcrum]

Nah you cant trimm on cm

[sharp wadi]

Just remember only medal for cm is clearing cm itself, that's include in task

[bright swan]

from my experience

there is no medal that can be obtained in cm

only normal one

[sharp wadi]

Only clear ex-8 cm required for task medal

[bright swan]

yeah, but i mean obtaining medal that require doing activites in stage

[sharp wadi]

Yes

[scarlet fulcrum]

there was none, always has been set one

[fiery marsh]

That thing in the medal is the trimm?

[scarlet fulcrum]

No urs not yet trimmed

The arrows means u can still upgrade it

[fiery marsh]

Ok i got It, thanks

[turbid badge]

wow the santalla trick to cut her range works

[scarlet fulcrum]

Is it patched? its still random even facing wall last time i wacthed her gameplay from random dude

[turbid badge]

idk

here

[scarlet fulcrum]

Did they tap the santalla for slow motion? If not just forget it

[turbid badge]

[scarlet fulcrum]

oh its still same, santalla will still target 1 row tiles in front of her even when faced wall btw

[remote atlas]

Funny units?

[vernal lion]

[full finch]

oh dang she has expanded radius
that's actually kinda decent

[cosmic thicket]

Durin is pretty funny what about it
Dur-nar is EXTREMELY funny

[lucid mirage]

Watches Durin solo crownslayer Durin isn't the joke here.

[glass monolith]

Funny is when Shamare doll makes Warfarin survive Patriot's spear... Only to kill herself with S2

[lucid mirage]

Using warf s2 so Fia can end her suffering...

[glass monolith]

It was during me Clowning with H7-4

Stainless S2 + Chen + Archetto + Quercus S2 and all for Fia

[turbid badge]

we need more self harm

[jaunty blaze]

[latent halo]

Hi

[gleaming lodge]

Dur'nar is literally bootleg Liskarm

[waxen swan]

How fucking dare you

[gleaming lodge]

Imagine not having the SP share talent

[tidal sedge]

Uh huh

[glass monolith]

Release me someone who hit operators over time without giving them ATK buff so i do
Stainless S2 + Chen + Archetto + Quercus S2 + Liskarm + whatever can hit her + Fia

(Adds Fia to IW rerun boss abuse list)

[tidal sedge]

IW rerun this week?

[glass monolith]

Delay to after WVWWNB

Hypergryph is mysic company. Yostar is "Time is relative" company

[tidal sedge]

Vernal wind?

[tidal sedge]

What is WVWWNB?

[glass monolith]

"Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow"

[tidal sedge]

1 weeks later to this event

[glass monolith]

Nah, get fucked, on 28th

I still didn't e1 ReAl because no medic chips and bitches already do another event

[tidal sedge]

ReAl?

[glass monolith]

And i didn't prefarm for Firewhistle

Reed Alter, i find it funny to call her ReAl

[tidal sedge]

Reed the flame shadow

[gleaming lodge]

No it's not

Nobody calls her real

Reedic

Reed alt

Reed alter

But not "ReAl"

I know I'm getting excessively angry over this but if you have to explain it every time it's not a good name

[tidal sedge]

Reed alter

[glass monolith]

Fine I will call her reedic, but I will keep calling Specter with different hat the Spaluta

[autumn grotto]

Spalter is so much btr than Spaluta lmao

why Spaluta anyway

[lapis hornet]

it's funny and ppl are tired of calling every alter xxalter cause it's starting to sound dumb af

[autumn grotto]

well sure but honestly if im given 0 context and some juz said “bro Spatula saved me” i literally will hv no idea what u mean lmao

[gleaming lodge]

The cool name for Spalter is Spectral

[thick badger]

Fancy

[autumn grotto]

ok that i get

cool name

[scarlet fulcrum]

Spatula born from spalter cant blame em

Spectral just built different

[gleaming lodge]

Spatula sounds mentally damaged ngl

[lucid mirage]

Looks at server

Looks at channel category

[glass monolith]

It would be funny if community just agreed to call Eyja alter with her full name, all the time, no short, nicknames etc

[lucid mirage]

What is her alter title anyway?

[scarlet fulcrum]

I heard someone said eyjammer=eyja+bummersummer

[glass monolith]

Eyjafjalla the Hvit Aska (I don't know where to get funny "i" used in Hvit)

[random spoke]

Is there an annihilation with early drones? I wanna do Cutter's module condition without wasting too much sanity

[glass monolith]

Game is not that sadistic sadly, wait for CC daily with drones

[lucid mirage]

Google says that translates to white ash

[scarlet ledge]

its good if u have 3 good ops

[unkempt gulch]

Is gavialter considered a Mid operator

[scarlet fulcrum]

And it tooks more pull than certs well unless newer one

[unkempt gulch]

Or an above average one

[scarlet ledge]

she is fine

[unkempt gulch]

Am i severely lacking in operator pool

If i always use her

[scarlet fulcrum]

shes decent unit, s2 her only main skill

[unkempt gulch]

Is there someone who should be replacing her

She does good dmg and has good uptime

[scarlet fulcrum]

Mid like overstating, she value more than that

[unkempt gulch]

Its just that no one talks about her lmao

[scarlet ledge]

well she is just mid

pozy is more of tslk of the town

[unkempt gulch]

I dont even see her on #help when people are asking on how to build their squad

[scarlet fulcrum]

well if u look at average guide for newb u wont find her

[unkempt gulch]

Bruh pozy

I barely even put her

In my team

[scarlet fulcrum]

Doesnt mean shes mid

[unkempt gulch]

More like underrated right

She does her thingvery good

[scarlet fulcrum]

no, shes decent pick for most stage

[unkempt gulch]

Is there a better slot in for gavialter

For general content

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pozy also decent in general. Just raise urs tbh

[unkempt gulch]

Yea i have her m3 and i dont really use her for general

[scarlet fulcrum]

hmmmm show ur raised ops

[scarlet fulcrum]

Add NG for last slot ig, for flex or smt

🐌

[scarlet ledge]

ng will have more uses there

since res+

[rugged talon]

Fc-ex-6 got me losing sanity irl

Bag for pozy reed for horn myrtle for NG

[lapis hornet]

it's tough for new players like us

[unkempt gulch]

Like how u killed vg

Bec of mountain

[scarlet fulcrum]

And sexas

Just call it unga bunga team

[grand ginkgo]

If you have a e2 unit, borrow mlynar and get dp print + 3 healers + 4 tanks or some shit like this
all your units need to do is stall for mlynar to do his thing enough times

[unkempt gulch]

Is chongyue a nice addition to the unga bunga team

Maybe replace gavialter?

[scarlet ledge]

ngl u can remove half of ur team

just bring ling and mlynar

[grand ginkgo]

ex 3 seems ass without a e2 borrow

[scarlet fulcrum]

Chong more like afk team tbh

[lapis hornet]

afk you need to tap 5 times

[scarlet fulcrum]

tbh dont bring ling

[scarlet fulcrum]

well degen afk

but if u really love it, ling can munch ur squad

[unkempt gulch]

Pulled for reed thinking she brings utlity just bec she can heal and do dmg

Better than pulling another dps only unit like qiubai i guess

[scarlet fulcrum]

Shes decent, but at that point u only bring what u want or need when tackle most of stages

[scarlet ledge]

idk u have lots of dps

[frigid kite]

She + Skalter = me happy

May replace her with Eyja healer in the future anyways

[lapis hornet]

yeah the more dps you have the more it's like whatever, you bring whoever you feel like

except for the hardest stuff, and then it's more map-specific than who's betterer

[scarlet fulcrum]

Malder

[gleaming lodge]

More stars = more better

[unkempt gulch]

Do ppl in cn still use reed alter

[scarlet fulcrum]

funni s3

[frigid kite]

Imo she will always be used until she gets powercrept by another healer dps i forgot the class name

[scarlet ledge]

easily fell off

s2 is nice uses but eh

[frigid kite]

Or gets powercrept by Nightingale

[scarlet ledge]

i rather use other dps

[unkempt gulch]

I kinda regret pulling for her

[lapis hornet]

I saw someone use her in cc12

[frigid kite]

Nah she's cool

[lapis hornet]

I think she was in some po clear too idr

[scarlet ledge]

to kill annoying shit

using s2

while healing bgp

[frigid kite]

Also her E2 art is

[scarlet ledge]

to sandwhich annoying 3 robot

that took 2hrs to kill

[scarlet fulcrum]

i said funni, even kal and chalter not scaling too high

[unkempt gulch]

She does no other ops do i guess

[frigid kite]

For now

[foggy grove]

i skipped reed no regret

[scarlet fulcrum]

well cc12 stall strat for dps job most ops viable tbh. even kal and chalter made a another record after CC7

[scarlet ledge]

ok mod 3 my mostima on main

mod 3 alt next

[scarlet fulcrum]

[scarlet ledge]

goddamnit

i dont wan tto play my sss

just to mod 3 my mostima

[scarlet fulcrum]

but... muh free mats and lmd

[near folio]

Finally suffering is over

[lofty thicket]

SSS AH deck is fun

[near folio]

Another boss that is cheesed by Roberta and Shamare

[glass monolith]

And then IW boss does FUR SO BRUH and roast your roster

[near folio]

Damn it if only Roberta was 5 star

Then 5 stars wont have to suffer with mediocre defenders anymore

[glass monolith]

I wonder how much of IW boss go on vacation if i apply camo

[scarlet fulcrum]

It doesnt have to be roberta tbh, 5* be like

[near folio]

The only good brick 5 star have is Bison

And he have horrible skill cycle

[scarlet fulcrum]

luck issue

[glass monolith]

Heavyrain S1

[near folio]

So that leaves us with Liskarm + Shamare

[gleaming lodge]

S1 is pretty decent iirc

[near folio]

Man but it caps at +100% def

[gleaming lodge]

Yeah ?

Eblana deals arts anyways

[glass monolith]

So uh... We stalling arts boss while in bonfire

[scarlet fulcrum]

they didnt know

[near folio]

Well im more talking in context of facing someone like steam knight

Steam Knight's punch has higher potential to do more damage than Patriot stab to defenders

Even oneshots some defenders with skill up if they arent M3 or Moduled

[gleaming lodge]

All I know is Nian S2 eats him alive

[glass monolith]

If my math is correct Quartz can tank Steam knight with Stainless S3 damage reduction. Now i need to figure out how the fuck do i heal him this much

[near folio]

Ez, now add Quercus and Nine Colored Deer into the mix

[scarlet fulcrum]

Meanwhile SG casually, beanstalk shoutai

But tbh Nian built different, ez life with her

[gleaming lodge]

Doesn't quartz have 6k HP ?

[near folio]

Looks like she needs warf

[scarlet fulcrum]

mine not max, smt around that ig will check

[near folio]

FC-EX 8 CM was pretty hard, but at least the boss is not as toxic as Degenbrecher

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah more than 6k

[glass monolith]

Stainless S3 applied twice (20%+20% = 36%) should reduce Steam Knight hyper punch from 8100 to 5184. E2 max quartz is 6247

Which makes normal attacks of Steam knigth more dangerous than punch There is possibility to be fisted before he starts another charge

[near folio]

This looks like a job for warf and Gavial

[glass monolith]

Oh right, i have Taye for base

[scarlet fulcrum]

spalter s1 tech

[near folio]

Tuye barrier pretty smol ngl

[glass monolith]

S2 Tuye

[chilly shore]

Is this a good spot to ask general op questions? Or is #help better?

[gleaming lodge]

Nah ask here

Help is overcrowded

We are dead in here

[chilly shore]

Deciding if I should invest in Czerny or not. But people seem to be kind of mixd about his versatility.

Wondered if people have other opinions on him here.

[gleaming lodge]

Huh

No

I mean, he is a good arts tank

But nightingale exists

So until we have an arts tank better than "any op + nightingale", no arts tank are valid, as they still need a medic

He isn't bad though
But 5* defender gives you an idea of how not good he is

[chilly shore]

I'm eventually trying to build musicknights

but I guess I'll save czerny for later

[gleaming lodge]

What does your account look like right now ?

[chilly shore]

Pretty fleshed out, I'm just kind of looking to see what I can build

but at the same time don't want to throw resources around all willy nilly

If not Czerny, I was thinking of Hibi alter, Erato, Sora?

[near folio]

Hibi alter would be a safe investment since she will do something of value even if its not really good

If you just want to have fun with your operators

[chilly shore]

I thought so

[gleaming lodge]

If you want to play musicknights, don't let meta hold you back

[verbal sparrow]

the ebenholz meta

[chilly shore]

Definitely. Just need the brain to make it work.

Ebenholz is definitely a key player in musicknights He's already ready to go.

[glass monolith]

Give me Lin so i go Zalakknight (ratjam)

[gleaming lodge]

what are you going to do with Gravel and Lin ?

clear 1-7 ?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Former alloy node still notbad to cope tho

[turbid badge]

dorothy carry

[glass monolith]

Don't own Dorothy out of Zalaks

Flametail's morale support squad

[gleaming lodge]

Flametail is a rat ??

[glass monolith]

Zalak are rodents and squirrels included

[royal rose]

I need a fool-proof guide to FC EX 8

[gentle finch]

how can we give if you don't show ops

[gleaming lodge]

Mountain solos left side
stall the boss
and you've been playing the game for 3 years mate....

[royal rose]

The boss melts my Hoshi though

Sorry

I just lost IRL sanity trying to deal with the mechanics of this boss

[turbid badge]

use nightingale

or wafrain s1

[gleaming lodge]

mate

the boss deals arts

use an arts tank

or Mousse idk

[mossy chasm]

For the latest Annihilation this is what I was thinking:

Anything I'm missing?

[cosmic thicket]

why blemishine

[mossy chasm]

Thought maybe she could hold the bottom lane and she makes Penance get her skill faster

Also a meat shield for the rockets

[cosmic thicket]

i guess

although i would probably prefer kal/monst3r there, there's barely any pressure

[mossy chasm]

What would I replace her with?

[cosmic thicket]

i mean

what other good units for anni do u have

[hot dagger]

any tips for event ex7? have all 6* except spalt and gavalt

[lofty thicket]

blue woman

[glass monolith]

Cheese top with Silverash + medic so he don't get clapped + something else as he won't do 10 hits on time
Clap bottom. Clap middle

[fiery marsh]

Skadi solos the brigadier easily btw

Bagpipe too

[mossy chasm]

How hard are the remaining anni's I have?

[glass monolith]

Depends on roster, but abandoned mine is only one which don't give you any helpful mechanic as far as i recall

wait, night champion is anni 13 or anni with bros?

[scarlet fulcrum]

only bloodknights

noone of them hard enough for ur squad above tbh

[lapis hornet]

dalao talk

[scarlet fulcrum]

I just stated the fact hi cake

[gleaming lodge]

dalao talk

let's bring back strat's elitism

[mossy chasm]

Ok, thanks

[scarlet fulcrum]

gl,u can start with hillock first ig, penance showcase basically

[fiery marsh]

Oh yes, anni the mode that i hate in this game

Have done 4 so Far with my 5 months account

[scarlet fulcrum]

nice

it has delish mats, worth it

[fiery marsh]

That is a point

But 400 kills without checkpoints isnt funny

You can easily lose 20 minutes in one try

[scarlet fulcrum]

indeed, its stay there like long time for a reason no need to rush

[fiery marsh]

I prefer look for a guide for anni than losing that much of time

But in other hand i can keep trying to create my own strategy during 3 hours for fc ex 8 cm for example

[scarlet ledge]

arghhh

i dont want to do sss

[random wren]

That's a mood.

[lofty thicket]

because of the mode itself or because it's a chore

[craggy turret]

FC-EX-8 CM? I wanna see my family and touch grass gain please

[scarlet ledge]

mountain mlynar surtr tex2 gavial2 hoshi or grab better hoshi supp warf

mountain with other dps on other side can handle it with ptilo as medic

[craggy turret]

Been using mount to hold bottom left

[turbid badge]

mwybar

[fierce ledge]

If you have Texalter at max and S3M3 + complete module, is there much I would get from e2 on Phantom?

[ancient hearth]

not sure what's an issue with this lineup, just have mountain hold left and stall eblana with hoshi, nightingale, and any decent single target healer

[fluid sail]

not really no
texalter is more than enough

[ancient hearth]

all you need is to extinguish the fires so your ranged ops stay camo'd and have a cage to distract eblana until that happens

and ofc pay attention to the fact that eblana has talulah's ability to blow up stuff in a cross

[scarlet fulcrum]

they prob gone already touching grass

[gentle finch]

skull

[cyan gorge]

My ex8 cm plan is the same as most other content these days
just heal through all the bullshit and pray

[viscid mist]

Thoughts on this clear?

Is this achiavable on EN

Or require pause deploy

[scarlet fulcrum]

genius fr

[full finch]

wtf

[fluid sail]

do you have a link id want to watch that

[scarlet fulcrum]

Atleast make support unit skill lv blank

[turbid badge]

Yes achieveable

[full finch]

E1 texas carried

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh wait its pot

[turbid badge]

You need your sa to be lvl 9

If not the strategy doesnt work

[viscid mist]

😔

[tawdry bear]

Hello, so I need tips for 2-8

[viscid mist]

My SA is e2 70

[turbid badge]

lol

[scarlet fulcrum]

Make use of force tile, bring aa. Any aoe also fine. Helidrop molotov dude to make ur life easier. Easier for underleveled squad

[tawdry bear]

Huh?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ik its confusing just ask

[scarlet ledge]

@scarlet fulcrum do my alt acc sss

[scarlet fulcrum]

[scarlet fulcrum]

#strategy message for example

More simple if u have pinnecone or smt

[tawdry bear]

So explain aa, and who is molitov dude?

[cyan gorge]

aa = anti air = marksman snipers

[scarlet fulcrum]

Molotov dude the mobs who throw bottle

[tawdry bear]

Thoughts on current set up?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Add shaw

[tawdry bear]

Who am I replacing ?

[ionic zenith]

What are you struggling with on the stage?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Spot, hes block2 at e0

[tawdry bear]

Eh?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Guardian only blocking 2 at elite 0

[ionic zenith]

Why would he need to block more than 2 though?

[sour steppe]

Hey guys

I have a question

How do u kill ending 3 of IS2

[craggy helm]

Quickly

[scarlet fulcrum]

???They have covered for that role

[craggy helm]

Or let her transform once while you get set up and then kill isha and skadi

[sour steppe]

its IS2 not IS3

[scarlet fulcrum]

makes ur GG survive, helidroping mlynar also notbad

[cyan gorge]

Spam GG and Texalt to kill puppets

[scarlet ledge]

im getting dumb here

[sour steppe]

do I bring 2 medics or 2 vanguards

or I take out one of the guards

[cyan gorge]

myrtle alone should be enough

[scarlet fulcrum]

Now they gone, shouldve tell em to replace arene 2 with any medic

[sour steppe]

will GG always target the summons?

[cyan gorge]

She targets them last, but spamming s3 will eventually kill all the normal mobs

[sour steppe]

[scarlet fulcrum]

with aspd relics there should be faster

[scarlet ledge]

@cyan gorge funni enforcer

[cyan gorge]

I hate jungle

[ebon elk]

Jungle fights needs like 200% more chainsaws, deforest it.

[scarlet fulcrum]

weedy guard B for fun

[scarlet ledge]

i forced myself to play sss

just to module 3 mostima

[scarlet fulcrum]

Based

[gentle finch]

rip bozo

[cosmic thicket]

lmao

im kinda the opposite, i have a surplus of module mats because i play sss fairly frequently but have no one who i actually want to module up

[ebon elk]

Hrmm my FC-7 auto, based on Oyuki's crew, seems unstable thanks to Mountain dying, who would be a decent 4th op for the squad? Like say swap in Penance S1 to take his place or a healer/support/range dps to help keep him alive?

[cosmic thicket]

FC-7? Not FC-EX-7?

[scarlet fulcrum]

farm node

[ebon elk]

The current squad, yeah my problem is stability issues on the auto.

I only deploy thorns nightingale and mountain

Rest is trust

[cosmic thicket]

Uhhh what happens when you deploy reed alter as well

[ebon elk]

I haven't done it yet but I realized after taking the screenshot it's the simplest solution

Everyone has those 'why were you blind moments.'

Coming in here probably solved my problem regardless

[turbid badge]

leite really

asestia in sas💀

[pale orchid]

tbf ur brain probably saw reed as a "trust farm" unit and didnt realize u had her leveled lol

[ebon elk]

It's worse cause I'm currently mastering her S3 right now too, so I have no reason to not recognize her as leveled.

Anyways watching it for three runs Mountain now no longer gets anywhere close too dying

[scarlet fulcrum]

How is ur setup btw, just curious

[ebon elk]

Setup?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Positioning

[waxen folio]

Hey general opinion question, who do you guys think is a good 5* caster? Whenever I do IS and have a choice of a 5* caster I just roll my eyes and pick click.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Amoyai usually in is2, is3 kinda

[weak gazelle]

IS#3?
nah, caster for IS#3 are shit anyway regardless of rarity

[ebon elk]

Everyone is up top by the boxes, Thorns in on the far left one down from the left blue box, facing right, Nightingale is in front of him facing right as well, then put ReedShadow in front of her facing right, and Mountain is right in front of the right blue box, facing the box cause its funny.

[sharp mango]

Real

[scarlet fulcrum]

yeah almost similiar from what i thought. No need ng tbh

[waxen folio]

yea doing some is3 but I was having the same issue in is2 honestly

[sharp mango]

And about 5*
Yes barely touched also

Maybe need control then will consider

[storm current]

goldenglow is ok on low difficulty for ending 2

[craggy helm]

Is2 I wouldn't bring a 5 caster

Click, some 6s, otherwise save your hope

[storm current]

eh amiya is good for IS2

[sharp mango]

Basically ye, no need to raise any 5* for is anyways

[craggy helm]

I mean if you need a guard you can pick amiya off caster voucher, I wouldn't bring her as caster ever

[ebon elk]

Probably true, don't feel like changing it further.

[waxen folio]

Thanks preciate it

[weak gazelle]

well i almost think its bad luck when i have to pick caster for IS
i could rather restart the whole run

[waxen folio]

Just wasn't sure if I was not being big brained enough

[waxen folio]

GENUINELY

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can also ditch mountain, vigil surprisingly do well with those mobs and bait even at that lv

[craggy helm]

Why would you restart instead of just saving hope for the next voucher?

[waxen folio]

It curses the entire run somehow for me, imo, just bad vibes

[sharp mango]

Just use 3* temporary

More bunny for free

Real

[weak gazelle]

me?
i play 5* only
and caster voucher are bad sign

[sharp mango]

Real

I forgot ye

[storm current]

because instead of recruiting a unit, you now recruiting no unit

[ebon elk]

I still have a Phantom & Crimson Solitaire run I have never finished...

[sharp mango]

Basically normally caster ticket is sucks for everyone anyways

Maybe not for low d idk man

Low d is weird

[storm current]

if your team lack the firepower to kill enemies, you leak and lose anyway, so just restart

[weak gazelle]

ahh yeah
mb, i always think d10+ for IS#3
for lower D maybe not that bad

[sharp mango]

Seriously

Once u played d15 for a while

When u change back to low d

It just so weird

"wow this shit got one shot wtf?????"

[cosmic thicket]

holy shit ikr

[weak gazelle]

ikr
those feeling

[cosmic thicket]

i was like "oh shit emergency ubi" and forgot i was d0

[ebon elk]

So your suggestion is drop NG and Mountain and use Vergil and Reed for the auto?

[gentle finch]

me when you can actually use arts in low diff

[scarlet fulcrum]

yeah if u care enough for trust farm

[ebon elk]

I only really do afk trust farm like setups cause they tend to be easy to do and it would be a waste to do a full team of max trust for farming.

[scarlet fulcrum]

If the rest of ur low trust important ops above 100 just forget it

Dont mind me i mean

[ebon elk]

Now this is probably something I should get serious about and try to beat it after letting it sit for so long

Would be lame to have it just fail.

[shut siren]

can someone help me with 5-10 please? 🙏

[ebon elk]

Your team?

[gentle finch]

E2 erato

[shut siren]

shes my babe

[gentle finch]

based

[storm current]

cant you just

nuke boss with surtr

chen the mob

medic and tank faust

[shut siren]

i tried everyone just starts dying before the boss even comes out the top right of the map

[storm current]

must be because of ling

anyway

you have myrtle and texas

deploy them first for dp

[ebon elk]

You have masteries on anyone there?

[shut siren]

just m1 on myrtle skill

[storm current]

eh masteries doesnt matter here

you know the deploy order targetting right

faust will attack lastest deployed unit

[shut siren]

oh

[storm current]

specifically

he will shoot a purple arrow that hurt way more every 5 shots

so you can deploy a gravel to tank that purple shot

[shut siren]

my gummy was able to tank his shots pretty well, should i place her last

[storm current]

yes

[ebon elk]

You can count his shots and deploy gravel to die to the purple shots.

[shut siren]

alrighty ill try it

[foggy grove]

or you can sleep with ling's dragon

they can take 2-3 purple shot
