#

this stage is the one that you wouldn't wanna auto anyways so it's fine

#

but I feel you

balmy halo
#

amiya is just there for extra dmg, she's also on s1

gentle finch
#

i don't borrow unless new unit I haven't tried

sullen rover
#

fia on amiya tile is breddy gud no?

sullen granite
balmy halo
#

try placing ansel right on the upperleftmost tile so enemies wont be able to place down the tower things

#

or at most they can only place one tile

gentle finch
balmy halo
#

u will get overwhelmed very easily once the enemies get buffed

gentle finch
last mist
#

2 defenders with a decent aoe can do the job more than enough

scarlet fulcrum
#

R8-11 built different BlitzSmile

balmy halo
scarlet fulcrum
#

Strikers and tal (fighter)

gentle finch
last mist
#

So new players(like me) wanna do the event stage since we still dont have access to the stage we get event currency + crystal

gentle finch
#

real

#

sucks to auto tho

last mist
#

Laggy asf since i let those mobs on top to put the towers

gentle finch
#

event still has a while so you can farm the LMD and stuff and then maybe your ops will be better

#

and more stable auto

balmy halo
sullen granite
#

The boss murdered Fia and Nar

balmy halo
#

add another healer maybe. the boss really doesnt hit that hard

#

try placing spot up front so that he can use his skill to heal

scarlet fulcrum
#

Just kill the clone, if medal do with support first for qol

balmy halo
#

perhaps u would want something more like this to utilize fia having another dps up top might be better so that u wont be overwhelmed there

sullen granite
balmy halo

#

How many crystal do you guys think would be enough?

scarlet ledge
#

or 100

last mist
#

Bnuuy i only have 30 40 20 on their respective stages 7 8 9

weak gazelle
#

mine still 38 for component
didnt change since 6 months agoChenShrug

sinful geyser
balmy halo
#

have mlynar kill phase 1 and let chalter do the work for phase 2. the stage will be super easy

latent monolith
#

Like maybe 15-20 then

#

It's significantly less efficient than the story stage

balmy halo
#

you would have enough time to activate mlynar skill for a second time as well btw so it should be very very very easy for u to clear if u do borrow chalter

weak gazelle
#

still efficient from event map
cause you get event currency tooMosTeama

latent monolith
#

Yeah but just farm mango/keton and farm crystalline components during dead weeks

sinful geyser
#

well, it's opportunity cost since you get event currency from manganese ore/aketon too

#

yup

last mist
#

But im not aiming for efficiency cause dont think ill be reaching r8-11 anytome soon

#

Better have some for some stuffs that would need that so i wont need to use green certs for it

latent monolith
#

Crystalline components have like no demand either

#

Just get like 15-20 if you want

sinful geyser
#

yea, maybe just stock up a bit then
I looked at stages other than R8-11 and they are all terribad, haha

weak gazelle
#

my advice is make a planner first
so you know which mat you need to farm and how much you need it
but i forgot which site provide that planner

last mist
#

Krooster?

weak gazelle
#

ah yeah krooster

last mist
#

I just look on some wiki stuffs on what ops use what stuffs

sullen granite
latent monolith
scarlet fulcrum
#

Like i said just kill the clone if u farming

latent monolith
#

The stage in chapter 5 is around 0.88

#

SV-8 permanent or smth is around 0.89

#

R8-11 is significantly better though

scarlet fulcrum
#

Boss will lose 35% hp when u kill the clone. So faster kill

sullen granite
#

I think I could've killed the boss and won the stage if I realized in time that the top one was real

scarlet fulcrum
#

Only matter when u do medal

last mist
#

Thank god ex-wb-8 has no medal like that i could just bruteforce throught clone

gentle finch
#

cement is over 4k

halcyon flower
#

what was my counterplay here? every op I placed was one-shot from across the map and nobody stuck more than one second

#

it's the most shut out I've ever felt and it seemed like I was missing something

cyan gorge
#

The way to do this map is spawn kill boss asap

#

otherwise you need to have strong enough healing or NG to survive the mobs while also baiting the boss's global range attacks

#

True damage is the way to kill him, otherwise Pozy/Chalter/Fartooth (with relics) solos

sly drift
#

Regular squad cant survive playwright

#

It's either you spawnkill or have very sustained ops with decent healer

#

Alright, this has happened. Mousse is to the left of Nar, it's kinda hard to see with all the enemies there. Anyway, any suggestions for what I should do now that I've hit phase 2?

s2 fia right?

#

maybe it's better to put her up top facing bottom so she could hit p2 as well

u can just place hibi beside her also facing bottom so she could heal mly

Get one with module

she can pretty much solo carry you through is2

if you're looking specifcally for a phantom killer pozy is better in that regard

#

but as a borrow I'd prefer ling

Yeah even last stage but pozys easier to use for boss stage cuz u just tap her skill a few times and win with good relics

timid acorn
# gleaming lodge If that's too tedious, just tell me how it takes for her to die

Something I did a while ago. The first one describes Surtr's current HP value during S3 and the second one calculates the time it takes for her to die.

H is her maximum HP value not including the addtional 5k from S3, t is the time in seconds, R is the sum of external sources of HPS and DPS she receives and T is her talent in seconds.

Do note however that it may not be fully accurate as it assumes a continuous HP loss whereas in actuality she loses HP in small intervals. Same thing goes if you include external sources of healing or damage since those are usually based on attack intervals

gleaming lodge
#

Hum

#

Interesting

#

Well, I'm not malding with frames for now

#

Just wanted to have a cute graph

#

Does that take into account what happens after 60s ?

timid acorn
#

SkadiDaijoubu No, it didnt matter for me at the time so it keeps increasing the loss past 60s

gleaming lodge
#

Fair enough

timid acorn
#

You can just keep it as a constant loss from there on though

#

should be simple enough

gleaming lodge
#

I did that

#

With heaviside functions

#

And expressed as a %HP

#

Starting at 100% of course

timid acorn
#

yeah, that works, the flat HP value only matters if you include her being damaged or healed though even those could be converted

gleaming lodge
#

but tbh my graph doesn't show a lot lol

#

I don't really know what I wanted to achieve with this TaluThonk

#

@ember warren should be happy with it at least

ember warren
#

And I don't think shelter works iirc

#

It's tru dmg

gleaming lodge
#

Yeah, and that doesn't include talent

ember warren
#

I think

gleaming lodge
#

Oh shelter is only for phys/arts ?

#

Here goes my dream of Shalem not dying...

ember warren
timid acorn
ember warren
gleaming lodge
#

Oh that's sad

ember warren
#

the health is based on tick

#

so I can get more values

#

for every AK tick

gleaming lodge
#

Oh yeah
The formula I used is :
f(t) = 100 - (1/6)t^2×H(60-t) - (-600 + 20t)×H(-60+t)

ember warren
#

did u see the formula kermit used

gleaming lodge
#

With H(t) the heaviside function

#

No I didn't

#

But that's an acceleration problem

#

So I'm happy with this

#

Except for that manual discontinuity fix

#

How many healers to sustain a s3 surtr? Bnuuy

#

wtf maffs

gleaming lodge
#

Bro hit me with the LaTeX code

#

Wait

#

Over 600 ?

#

Why 600 ?

ember warren
#

derived from this

#

so f(x) would be the modified heaviside function

gleaming lodge
#

huh

#

I don't understand the notation

ember warren
#

for x<= 60 u set it to the multiplier

gleaming lodge
#

Is f(x) the HP loss speed ?

ember warren
#

which would be (0.2/60)*x

Sees integral - Internal scream

ember warren
#

yea integrals were far easier

#

lmao

#

and the integral of x/300 = x^2/600

#

thats how u get x^2/600

gleaming lodge
#

You can solve this by hand though ?
Why do you ask the computer to integrate a*x ?

ember warren
#

there might have been a reason

#

yea the integral is simple

gleaming lodge
#

And yeah you're using 0-1 instead of %
That's what confused me

ember warren
#

o yea

#

just swap 7916 out for 100

#

and u get percentage

#

[7915, 7913, 7910, 7906, 7902, 7897, 7891, 7884, 7876, 7867, 7857, 7846, 7835, 7823, 7810, 7796, 7781, 7765, 7748, 7730, 7712, 7693, 7673, 7652, 7630, 7607, 7583, 7558, 7532, 7506, 7479, 7451, 7422, 7392, 7361, 7329, 7296, 7263, 7229, 7194, 7158, 7121, 7083, 7044, 7004, 6964, 6923, 6881, 6838, 6794, 6749, 6703, 6656, 6609, 6561, 6512, 6462, 6411, 6359, 6306, 6252, 6197, 6142, 6086, 6029, 5971, 5912, 5852, 5791, 5729, 5667, 5604, 5540, 5475, 5409, 5342, 5274, 5205, 5136, 5066, 4995, 4923, 4850, 4776, 4701, 4625, 4548, 4471, 4393, 4314, 4234, 4153, 4071, 3988, 3904, 3820, 3735, 3649, 3562, 3474, 3385, 3295, 3204, 3113, 3021, 2928, 2834, 2739, 2643, 2546, 2448, 2349, 2250, 2150, 2049, 1947, 1844, 1740, 1635, 1529, 1423, 1316, 1208, 1099, 989, 878, 766, 653, 540, 426, 311, 195, 78, -40]

#

this would be surtrs health per tick

#

or it should be somewhat close

#

maybe I can modify somethings to get it fully right

#

it might be wrong tho

gleaming lodge
#

Per game tick ?

ember warren
#

yea

gleaming lodge
#

Hum

#

Do you integrate with a 1/30 step or something ?

ember warren
#

just have a health value decrease over increments

gleaming lodge
#

You do that in python ?

#

I guess you can set x to have a step of 1/30

ember warren
#
    time += 1
    if(health <=0): immo -= 1
    #Healthloss increases linearly from 0% to maxHealthLossTimeCap% over maxHealthLossTimeCap seconds and caps at maxHealthLossTimeCap%
    healthLossMulti = healthLossModifier*(time if time < HealthLossTimeCap else HealthLossTimeCap)
    health -= healthLossMulti*maxHealth if healthLossMulti*maxHealth >0 else -1

    health = round(health)
    healthList.append(health)
    timeList.append(time)```
#

so u just loop

#

and subtract health with a time ticker

#

getting the healthloss

gleaming lodge
ember warren
#

thats why it might be bugged

#

it looks accurate for every sec tho

gleaming lodge
#

Oh

gleaming lodge
#

That makes sense

#

I wasn't planning to go that deep

ember warren
#

[7890, 7837, 7758, 7652, 7520, 7362, 7177, 6966, 6729, 6465, 6175, 5858, 5515, 5146, 4750, 4328, 3879, 3404, 2903, 2375, 1821, 1240, 633, 0, -660]

#

which should be this

#

actually the heaviside function isnt needed

#

tbh

#

lol

gleaming lodge
#

You might want to hit Zawa in siesta with it, he was interested in having a doc with the numbers for Surtr health

ember warren
#

cuz she doesnt make it to 60 secs

#

so u can actually omit it

gleaming lodge
#

Realistically you aren't keeping her alive for this long yeah

#

But heaviside my beloved MudLove

ember warren
#

so y=7916(1-x^2/600)

#

is the solved form of her health curve

gleaming lodge
#

Almost as based as Dirac's peak

gleaming lodge
ember warren
#

will probs learn and forget all of this

gleaming lodge
#

Nah come on

ember warren
#

kek

#

I will spend a few months living and breathing it

#

then need to use it a few years later

#

and need to reread a bunch of material

gleaming lodge
#

Well
It doesn't matter
As long as you can get Surtr's health graph quickly enough, you have succeeded as a STEM fella imo

ember warren
gleaming lodge
#

But I digress

#

Do you know the values for block search cycles ?

#

I remember meow saying every 6 game ticks but I'm not sure

ember warren
#

every 3rd frame

#

mechanics sheet

gleaming lodge
#

Hum

#

Is that every search cycle ?

#

iirc the documentation on blocking is a bit lacking

ember warren
lapis hornet
#

I've been told movement is calced every frame

gleaming lodge
lapis hornet
#

honestly not a lot code monkeys hacking the game to find out stuff like that nowadays Bnuuy

lapis hornet
#

not that I would ever condone such actions of course moderators that's evil ppl shouldn't do it

gleaming lodge
ember warren
#

I need to fix it

gleaming lodge
#

Just not to yoink it and make money with it

ember warren
#

iirc also arent game ticks at 15fps

#

and animation is the only thing at 30fps

gleaming lodge
#

Could be that the game's rounding is not the same as Python's

ember warren
#

also dealing with small decimals in code is a headache in of itself

#

because I round the health

#

then you have to deal with floating point precision

gleaming lodge
ember warren
#

I avoid decimals where possible

#

and I should probrably use the decimal class

#

for actual precision

#

guh

elder flume
ember warren
#

I could sift thru the piles of trash for good posts

elder flume

Go through every post like me TexasBlob

No

#

Better things to do

ember warren
#

how does AK deal with floating point

#

do they just not give a fuck

gleaming lodge
#

No idea

#

But they round for display

#

Hence you can have an op at 0 HP but alive

No medic choice was drop, how to beat the big bear with that ? SkadiDaijoubu

scarlet fulcrum
#

Cope with healing defender and Myrtle at right side, helidrop left lane. Dont point thorns/ifrit (more like just chalter it) at bsl

#

This will not survive in chaceck and crown tho

scarlet fulcrum

Just think like fb but ako

such a chore, I know I beaten this with mlynar or something but still I wanna auto it-

current line up CZ_sip

everything seems so fast after beating the boss clone at the bottom twice

scarlet fulcrum
#

Yeah u did that right

#

Switch kal to s2

celest solstice
#

aint it already s2

scarlet fulcrum
#

That s1

#

Also did u destroy deployed poles?

celest solstice
#

no, mountain can survive top alone

#

if needed be Ill place another vanguard or defender there

scarlet fulcrum
#

No its not about that

celest solstice
#

what about the poles

#

ohh

scarlet fulcrum
#

Well u are fine without it with that squad

celest solstice
#

let me just get a kroos up there

#

facing up

celest solstice
# scarlet fulcrum

so Im able to kill both bosses, sounds good right? but these things makes the enemies so annoying, even if I place amiya facing up

#

Ill place firewatch instead and spam her skill

#

those rods should count as enemies right?

scarlet fulcrum
#

Yeah that is main gimmick for this event imo, most ppl didnt realize it

#

Unga bunga moment

celest solstice
#

lol

scarlet fulcrum
#

Rods just device

#

U are fine to ignore it if u have np

bold lance
#

It's not a gimmick if you don't let rods spawn

scarlet fulcrum
#

"Unga bunga"

bold lance
#

If the mechanic is "places rod on the first high ground it passes" it's not Unga Bunga to just not let them pass any

scarlet fulcrum
#

High ground, climb, hidden rod en wont bother to read

#

Just be clear u ignore stages mechanic with stacked ops

No no
I'm just a bit tired of being a #map-help slave

# scarlet fulcrum

could do something simple as have a healer tank the runners up top and have a sniper kill the runners.

celest solstice
#

ye firewatch did the trick, ty

scarlet fulcrum
#

indeed, that one of to prevent that, because u aware the mechanic

#

I just replying to ppl who replying "its not gimmick if u dont let it spawn" When u did that because aware of stage mechanic

#

Dont tell me just copy pasta enjoyer

Ngl, those things are actually useful for you if you can handle it.

did you know that reed alter's cinder debuff actually decreases stainless's turret atk damage?

Wait. Aren't turret cast skill based on Stainless current ATK?

How do I deal with the stupid rocks on the bottom row of the annihilation research base hangar?

The gundams I can kill just fine but the rocks just refuse to die and melt my Thorns+medic HellaUnamused

cyan gorge

Mudrock or Kal solos bottom

or have Ifrit/Passenger be able to reach mid and occasionally help bottom

glass monolith

I just left there NTR S1 with Medic and left till 390 CeobeConfused

Ballz has annoying AF stats:
Arts damage
1000 def
50% damage reduction if not blocked

brisk latch

maybe the 100 atk on the turrets is just a dummy stat

grand ginkgo
#

For anni 3, do i pick steward as last pick? im sort of lacking damage for 340-350 waves on one of the sides

cosmic thicket
#

how do you deal with the bombtails?

grand ginkgo
#

the drones with nukes? platinum kills some from range, others i just tank

cosmic thicket
#

oh

#

ig steward is fine as another dps unit

#

maybe you want to swap cutter to s2 because she deals crazy multipliers to the drones

gleaming lodge
#

Why not borrow for first clear ?

#

With SA or Mlynar that should be an easy sweep

grand ginkgo
#

not 1st clear

gleaming lodge
#

I mean first clear as "first time clearing 400 kills"

grand ginkgo
#

yeah i get very much smashed on one of the sides as soon as fewer beefier guys come out, unfortunate

grand ginkgo
gleaming lodge
#

Which you should do asap, even if you can't setup an auto

grand ginkgo
#

i had a first clear a while ago

#

this isnt 1st clear

gleaming lodge
#

Do you not use a pusher (like Shaw) on the bottom lane ?

#

Oh you want a full auto ?

#

Not sure if you can honestly

#

Well, actually, now that you don't need a stable auto anymore, it should be fine

grand ginkgo
#

yeah i just want a clear without a borrow and struggling a bit

#

will fuck around with placements i guess

gleaming lodge
#

I repeat my question

#

How do you deal with bottom lane ?

#

No pusher ?

#

Do you have Cutter "solo" it ?

gentle finch
grand ginkgo
gleaming lodge
#

That sounds very weak

#

I'm not surprised your bottom lane gets overrun

#

If you want to get a clear, you shouldn't struggle before wave 350

grand ginkgo
gleaming lodge
#

What is your placement ?

grand ginkgo
#

this obviously doesnt work

glass monolith
#

Where is something to heal top LappDumb

grand ginkgo
#

i didnt put spot there

#

my bad

gleaming lodge
#

Swap Nearl and Lapp, facing up

glass monolith
#

Where is something viable to heal top RedOmegaLul

surreal star
#

top side looks like it could die

#

reed is inconsistent

gleaming lodge
#

That should make lapp cancel all crushers as well

surreal star
#

and there’s turrets

gleaming lodge
#

Yeah if you can put a medic like Hibiscus on F3 that would be good

grand ginkgo
gleaming lodge
#

That is not very surprising, you have 0 damage

grand ginkgo
#

well yeh
in borrow there was a thorns there
even though i didnt have platinum, thorns obv carried very hard

cursive mango
#

is lin useful at all?

cyan gorge
#

She’s great at mob clearing

#

but her downtime can be long especially if you aren’t using her to bait attacks

cursive mango
#

downtime reduce if you use something like plito?

cyan gorge
#

Her later module alleviates that somewhat

cursive mango
#

I went a little too ham on the pulling strategy and kinda regret everything AmiyaSad

cyan gorge
#

Ptilo helps some, but as I said she needs to be on the receiving end of a lot of chip damage to have peak effectiveness

grand ginkgo
cursive mango
grand ginkgo
grand ginkgo
#

not a first clear, not borrowing

lucid mirage
#

So who's healing courier?

glass monolith
#

He probably not aware about those ballistas RedOmegaLul

grand ginkgo
#

kroos and reed swapped places whoops

#

since arbalest on courier lane arrives very late i usually have like 150 dp and the point he's in any danged of death so i tried to replace him with like cuora
not like it mattered

lucid mirage
#

I'd swap cutter and nearl too. Lapp needs more healing to tank the drones and ballistas at the same time.

grand ginkgo
#

i dont think it would've mattered SkadiDaijoubu she got evaporated as soon as 5 big drones came
ill try more later this week if i maybe e2 someone or smth

lucid mirage
#

Could always try that

cursive mango
#

mmmm tbh when I cleared with Reed I had her in your plats position

lucid mirage
#

E1 clear of anni 3.

lofty thicket
#

is that using the gitano cheese

lucid mirage
#

Should be

grand ginkgo
lucid mirage
#

Still less draining than an IS marathon or one of the final H-stages.

grand ginkgo
#

IS you can stop whenever at least, stages are shorter
in is2 anyway

lucid mirage
#

Just beat it once and you can skip the anni.

#

Back in my day we had to run our autos all the way, and if it wasn't a stable clear, that's wasted San.

grand ginkgo
#

"just beat it" please man

lucid mirage
#

Which skill is reed using?

#

Do you have any masteries on her?

grand ginkgo
#

2 because 3 felt very weak on important waves, will try 3 again if I put her on bottom
no masteries, i e2d her literally today
and i dont have the funny building at all

cursive mango
#

reed S3 killed literally every big boy at the end of the anni through chain explosions was very cool

grand ginkgo
#

ill try it later

cursive mango
#

just level 7, no mastery

lucid mirage
#

Her talent weakens the drones too

cursive mango
#

I masteried her after as a reward

grand ginkgo
#

she prob has much easier time with s3 on bottom because of 1 extra tile of reach

cursive mango
#

if you can reach 350 without any casualisties, reed S3 should kill the red crasher, and only the drones to worry about, thats what I'm hoping for

grand ginkgo
#

the only reason this is torture is because i have to sit and place units 1 by 1 for half the anni length, before 350 its pissez other than that

cursive mango
#

if you have any space, you could put a fast redeploy to tank the bomby womies

grand ginkgo
#

bomb drones arent a huge issue
big arts drones are

#

lapp dies in like 2 shots

cursive mango
#

reed theoritically should save lap via doing damage to the drone in that isntance

#

This is my placement, though if you ignore ifrit, you’d probably want more dps in the middle section somehow

#

but your lappy probably has that covered if reed can heal lappy enough when the time comes

gentle finch
#

lol

gleaming lodge
#

this is what I mean by "blocking search cycle is weird"

ember warren
#

I see they move so fast they move into the ranged tile

#

b4 checking for block

gleaming lodge
#

Yup

#

Which is cursed

ember warren
#

pretty sure that certain blocks are designated as unpassable

gleaming lodge
#

Now I'm guessing they just move fast enough that 2 frames is enough to clip

ember warren
#

but since enemies need to be able to walk on those

#

they dont check for collision

gleaming lodge
#

But that's not a lot of frames to clip this much

ember warren
#

its like how they can get stuck in the bounded off melee tiles

#

im guessing its like that and they try to get back on track

#

which moves them in a weirder direction still

ember warren
#

so I think it tries to find a valid position

#

and somehow pushes onto the block

#

but since the block is valid they will try to pathfind to their exit

#

but since that isnt possible they just stand there

#

and im guessing u can shift the pole guys onto the block

#

so they most likely act as the bounded melee boxes youve seen before

gleaming lodge
#

Yeah you can

#

Well

ember warren
#

the difference being that the ranged block is a valid spot for enemies

#

so they dont try to clip out

gleaming lodge
#

Do you remember DM event ?

ember warren
#

yea

gleaming lodge
#

You could get the lancers to get blocked in the back of an operator by giving them enough speed

gleaming lodge
#

Though that could work with simply enough speed

ember warren
#

while game ticks are 15 fps

gleaming lodge
#

I would need the calcs though TaluThonk

#

Ultimately I'm trying to lift the ambiguity on Blem S2 targeting

#

But since framerate isn't perfect, that's not going to happen

ember warren
#

is it immediate after skill

#

or is there cast time

gleaming lodge
#

Sorry, that wasn't clear

ember warren
#

have u tested shifting enemies thru blem

gleaming lodge
#

You know how blocked position works right ?

ember warren
#

yea

gleaming lodge
#

The 2nd enemy to get blocked isn't on the exact same spot, even if they have the same pathing (e.g. anni2 Cardi strat)

ember warren
#

yea

gleaming lodge
#

So what happens is, if frame skips happen at the wrong time, the first or the second enemy gets blocked a bit deeper into Blem

ember warren
#

wut

gleaming lodge
#

And since her S2 targeting is tied to distance to the blue box, but blocking after skill is based on distance to center of the tile

#

Which can be very inconsistent

#

(I noticed this when malding CC#4)

ember warren
#

so she atks enemies closest to her?

gleaming lodge
#

No

#

Well, she used to, which allowed a funny record on MN-8

ember warren
#

oh u mean she refreshes her targeting

gleaming lodge
#

But now it's fixed

ember warren
#

and it messes up ur targeting

gleaming lodge
#

Essentially she has ranged op targeting on S2

#

Sleeping enemies can't be blocked

#

So re-blocking after skill doesn't necessarily follow the attack priority on-skill
Nor does it need to match blocking priority before the skill

ember warren
#

yea

#

makes sense

#

pretty sure theres an NGA post on this

gleaming lodge
#

And huh

#

It's inconsistent

#

So I don't like it

#

I can't read moonrunes

#

I wanted to make a video explaining Blem S2
