strategy

[full finch]

red bonethrowers

well a medic makes it a nonissue though

[latent monolith]

Idk I ran E1 warf S1 and it was enough

[full finch]

also mynar + horn is way overkill

[scarlet fulcrum]

Well its medic

[latent monolith]

It is

I didn't use mlynar skill

Idk why I mentioned him

[full finch]

lol

[latent monolith]

Actually wait it might have been ethan and I'm confusing different clears

[full finch]

[latent monolith]

But yeah lee survives throwers easily without excessive healing

[weak gazelle]

SA mod huh
probably a stronger cd redeploy

[scarlet fulcrum]

inb4 alter comes

[latent monolith]

After hvit aska what's next

[weak gazelle]

or global invisible reveal

[full finch]

destiny 2 collab?

[scarlet fulcrum]

limited? Half anni cn should be

[full finch]

hvit aska is limited

bruh

[scarlet fulcrum]

"Next limited "

[latent monolith]

I meant like what name are they going to come up with

[full finch]

idk

[latent monolith]

I'm feeling a little lappdumb today

[full finch]

the alter titles not being english is interesting ig

though I still have no idea what

"hvit aska"

[latent monolith]

It means white ash or smth

[full finch]

or "ex foedere" mean

[vernal lion]

exexe

[full finch]

I'll stick with my

gavial the invincible

easy to understand

[vernal lion]

gayter

[latent monolith]

foedere = covenant

[vernal lion]

need to complete SSS missions

[latent monolith]

Actually idk someone probably has a better translation

"hvit aska" is white ash though

[vernal lion]

the EN word is not quite good to write out

[full finch]

bruh waiting for drones on new account actually painful

[latent monolith]

sanity to drones

[full finch]

can't

doesn't unlock until lv4 cc

[latent monolith]

I sometimes forget that I wanted to convert chips and just drone lmd

And then realise like 5 seconds later

[vernal lion]

36 sanity = 10k

[full finch]

lv4 cc needs lv2 building x8

lv2 building cost 60 drones

then I have to upgrade cc (80 drones)
lv3 workshop (120 drones)
lv3 factory (120 drones)

at least at lv4 I can convert sanity

now I sleep

[scarlet ledge]

finally... my team is stable enough

what a start

[full finch]

kaze

[tropic valve]

nice you E2'd May

[opal kiln]

is this dusk start

[glass monolith]

Arknights is game where you can get away with almost any level of based

[scarlet fulcrum]

me when od event

[weak gazelle]

is there a possibility we get another laterano related event?
like i honestly want to know andoain, mostima, fia, and wheelchair lady story and relationship back when they still together
and coping for mostima alter version

[opal kiln]

maybe cope for laterano 4.5 anniversary

[scarlet fulcrum]

idk exu alter? Coming home or smt

[weak gazelle]

maybe that too
but current mostima weapon story im still curious too
why she ditch her old gun to wield this staff for whatever reason

[scarlet fulcrum]

Maybe Jusan will answer u in ak lore

Pls dont do that tho

[deft badger]

spend like the past 4 hours watching someone who does use rat s1... actually surprised, even thinking of building her

[deft badger]

♿ what do u say build rat? 😄

[scarlet fulcrum]

me? i only m3 ed her s3

[deft badger]

lol

[scarlet fulcrum]

Only run her with mostima for fun

For me

[deft badger]

he did cm ex-9 with her i was thinking ok he is going to leak after 7 big dudes inc

she killed them in like 5 sec with that s1 aoe skill

[scarlet fulcrum]

Which event?

[deft badger]

wb

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh ex-8

[deft badger]

yes.. sry was watching some streams all night long my brain is going afk slowly 😄

[scarlet fulcrum]

S1 works fine indeed, even at e1

[deft badger]

it kinder has a crazy range and doesn't deactivate when it starts casting

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its just toggle skill, similar to mountain

Stance change

[deft badger]

hmm have to get from someone a e2 to try out what i saw is actually nice

[frigid saddle]

So, Ya, what do

[deft badger]

anyway i am going to sleep cya later guys.. gn

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just nice aoe arts, she will gain 1s more interval when activated. Gain not that big. So just try with sL7 tbh

[deft badger]

i will have to w8 anyway, the list is long... kal reed cho then her turn in case i even e2 her 😄

[scarlet fulcrum]

Even at e1 still fine tbh, but yea just raise ur better prio. U can ignore her

[weak gazelle]

no worry i wont do that

[neat skiff]

Honestly I can see more off meta uses for Lin S1 than leaving her as a ranged tank only. Especially with her T1 module.

[scarlet fulcrum]

can be qol arts needs at most

[neat skiff]

E1L50 S1L7 is 1035 damage to everyone in range at once.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea, surely with 3s interval thats still nice trade off tbh

for early she will help a lot imo

[neat skiff]

It's not the best, but it's also relatively little investment.

All things considered.

[scarlet fulcrum]

well if u look at the 6* pools, still nice regardless. Maybe i will try her e1 for anni3 later

[neat skiff]

This banner is really not "played for less than 3 months" friendly.

[scarlet fulcrum]

The units or the event?

[neat skiff]

Units. ChongYue wants E2 at least and Lin is "justification: the operator".

[scarlet fulcrum]

Few 6* just like that indeed

[neat skiff]

At least Qiubai all 3 of her skills can be justified.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Isnt s3 masteries the one that gain new effect?

I forgor about that

At m3 she gain smt new

[neat skiff]

S3M1 increase talent 1 damage to 1.5
M2 = 1.75
M3 = 2

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh its From 7 to m1

[neat skiff]

Qiubai S1L4. SP 5
The next attack Bind the target for 2 seconds. When the Bind ends, deal 210% Arts damage to the target and all nearby enemies
Early on that's a great story skill.

[scarlet fulcrum]

atk recovery but still mid at most

[neat skiff]

Physical damage with AoE arts damage.

Hell of a lot better than most other banners coming up.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah, what is the radius? Too lazy checking aceship

she is built for stainless

[neat skiff]

It doesn't actually say.

[tidal sedge]

More or less chongus S3 aoe... Maybe slightly better

[neat skiff]

But yeah, when your competition is Fia rerun, Yato alter, joint operation with Lee/Thorns/Irene/Dorothy, Saileach/Horn/Stainless, Ines, Muelsyse/hold my neck,

[scarlet fulcrum]

Almost like aoe caster

[neat skiff]

I would say closest next "early on player" friendly op is Muelsyse but 90% of her damage is tied to other ops.

[scarlet fulcrum]

support abuse all the way

[glass monolith]

Mumu top dps, just feed her e2 90 module stage 3 dorothy

[tall temple]

How does Muelsyse synergize with trapmaster? Base stats?

[foggy grove]

stat and atk interval

[neat skiff]

• aerial enemies

And sniper range.

Marksman snipers have a 1 second attack interval.
Trapmsters have a 0.85 second interval.
Then Dorothy has more raw attack than Exu.

[tidal sedge]

What if mumu use Angelina?

[neat skiff]

Then it will deal arts damage, with Ange range and 90% of her attack stat.

[tidal sedge]

But Ange didn't attack tho?

[neat skiff]

Irrelevant.

[scarlet fulcrum]

That was only ange skill, exclusively s2 and s3

[neat skiff]

Muel copies phys/arts, range, attack stat and ground or range op.

Talents and skills are 100% ignored.

Oh, and attack interval.

Then it's always single target damage.

It's part of why Dorothy, Farwatch and Ebenholz are among the more popular clones due to combination of high damage and workable range.

[tidal sedge]

If high res Eben better if low Dorothy better

[neat skiff]

def

Oh, and before you ask. Medics act as dps. They become arts damage and use the attack stat like normal.

[weak peak]

does reed alter s2 hit ya phase 2? i have no more practice tickets to check

[opal kiln]

it doesn't hit air, no

[tropic valve]

if anyone is still struggling with EX-8 Challenge Mode, just bring Schwarz and a magnet:
https://youtu.be/8uRwYWvABYI

[scarlet ledge]

@scarlet fulcrum im done

[weak peak]

would like to try but the -1 block makes my guards so bad and enemies just start leaking none of these are good laneholders

[tropic valve]

ah, yeah 1 blocks are no good, 2 blocks can barely hold unless they have good skills, so it's mostly up to the 3 blocks

[weak peak]

i have none

im gonna cri

im already using mudrock on the left lane

oh i could probably use ling

[neat skiff]

Ifrit + 3 blocks ftw.

[opal kiln]

ifrit in 2023

truly

[tropic valve]

truly

[tidal sedge]

Wait Schwartz attack now homing arrow legit

[glass monolith]

Wait for IW boss clips

[tropic valve]

straight line range is the same as global range if your lines are curvy enough

[weak peak]

what is Surtr for here? can i use any guard just to hold the boss in schwarz range? or is her damage important?

[stuck ermine]

its to burst ya in 1st phase. if you block her she gonna use illusion to fly

[tidal sedge]

I think she contributed 25% HP phase 1 ya. Mainly go to Schwartz. Any dps can do

[stuck ermine]

oh well its cm she cant block its a safeguard

[weak peak]

im thinking of using SA phase 1 then Mlynar for phase 2, that should work right?

[tidal sedge]

Yes whatever it work

[tropic valve]

yeah just damage, doesn't have to be surtr specifically

I went with surtr because I didn't have a vanguard and she offered the most damage on 20 ish DP

[near hornet]

Is this good ??

[solar spindle]

is that ex 8 cm?

[crude oak]

needs more E2's

[sly drift]

Thorn S2

Don't use thorns unless S3

[glass monolith]

Tell it to first map being simbiosis

[scenic kestrel]

HOLY SHIT THERE'S ONLY 22 HOURS LEFT AND I HAVEN'T BEAT WB-EX-8 CM HOW DO I BEAT THIS STAGE??!?!??!??!???

[weak peak]

i lost all my practice tickets to wb ex 8 cm again

[grand ginkgo]

today's the last day, so you either commit or abandon the mission

[scenic kestrel]

i have so many problems with this stage 😭 There's too many enemies and the delusion has too much hp

[weak peak]

the schwarz strategy would work if I had ling module but i still dont have enough trust for it, the dp cost is way too high so i deploy schwarz and my other boss killer a little bit too late and the boss is already out of schwarz range. ugghh idk what to do

[tropic valve]

do you have suzuran or similar to keep the boss from moving out of schwarz range?

keeping Ya from going too far is very important as it also curtails the defender spam later

[weak peak]

i could try carnelian s2

[near hornet]

Yes

[tropic valve]

could also try to save DP by placing some cheaper ground units, you might not need big ling dragons for a while and that DP could be used on the boss

[crimson monolith]

mylnar is your friend for phase 2. Keep him alive and you can hit both at same time.

[stuck ermine]

https://youtu.be/alzmCbdlLfY ;you can try this strat. stalling her then burst her during phase 2

[cursive mango]

patriot got sutrered

[weak peak]

now this looks very manageable

[cursive mango]

that the op damage shred strat with like zero leaks xd

only issue is I found is that it required the shred ops

didnt have enough damage for the rest of it ;-;

[latent monolith]

There are several of options for killing P2

Rosa/mlynar+suzuran

Mlynar + exu warf/pozy/schwarz

etc

[cursive mango]

names all the ops I dont have xd

[latent monolith]

You can borrow

And just assist with more dps

[cursive mango]

you cant borrow two of the ops you dont have that are key

I cleared this regardless, with a different strat

[latent monolith]

It's not like both ops are key

It's basically any combination of good damage that can hit air

Or buffers

[cursive mango]

like I said, I ran into a damage issue

people dont always have buffers levelled when they are relatively niche outside of these types of uses

you named 7 ops, which I only have 1 of them, many people asking for help are the same

[cursive mango]

oki so I cleared with the ling strat

I can help you if you want to try ling strat again?

[weak peak]

does your ling have module? cause i dont and that's the problem for me

[cursive mango]

with a borrowed ling with module?

[weak peak]

im using my own ling

since i was borrowing schwarz

[cursive mango]

what are your ops like

[cursive mango]

I mean you could easily borrow the ling here and clear with that

[high crest]

For ex8 no cm what good for borrow?

[cursive mango]

mylnar

[weak peak]

who would i use for phase 1 and phase 2?

[cursive mango]

this is what I cleared with

[weak peak]

since i wont be able to borrow scwarz

[high crest]

Also last question can he kill ya in phase 2 in 1 skill activation

[latent monolith]

Not without support

[latent monolith]

Is this CM?

[weak peak]

how??? how do you get enough damage for phase 2 to kill ya before ya gets out of your boss killer ops' range

[weak peak]

yeah

[cursive mango]

you bait ya into attacking your medic

[weak peak]

would that stall?

[cursive mango]

in my case, I used reed to both damage and heal

yep

you ignore botside completely

[weak peak]

i thought ya would attack and move

[weak peak]

i can use her then

[cursive mango]

and then place a fast medic on the left to redeploy

[latent monolith]

You can probably use like mlynar + buffer (maybe borrow suzuran or aak) (+ optional extra dps for safety) to kill the boss phase 2

Phase 1 can be done by any blocker and any medic as long as you have something to kill the air clone

[high crest]

Cause my only dps for him is kaltsit and silverash

[latent monolith]

(it's 6.6k hp 0 def 0 res, not hard to kill)

[high crest]

For phase 1 my plan is silverash and kaltsit phase 2 is mlynar but.... yeah

[latent monolith]

You don't need to nuke phase 1

[cursive mango]

the easiest option would be just mlynar it, but without buffers or without knowledge of how to do it, I would recommend doing the ling strat and incorporating mynlar into the dmage seqence

[latent monolith]

It's very easy to just stall it

[cursive mango]

with mynlar you would have so much more damage than me

[high crest]

So slowly kill her with kaltsit for phase 1 then silverash and mlynar for phase 2

[weak peak]

what's the difference between ling mod stage2 and stage3?

[latent monolith]

You can kinda use this position for P2

[weak peak]

will the strat work regardless?

[latent monolith]

(mlynar here is aaked so you'll have less damage if you just borrow suzu)

[latent monolith]

Slightly more dragon stats

[cursive mango]

well the ling I used was basically maxed

[latent monolith]

It's usually not a significant difference in most cases

[cursive mango]

and I was really pushing it with perfumer healing them xd

[high crest]

I'll try it with mlynar if it not do, I'll try with pozy

[latent monolith]

Idk much about the ling carry clear specifically though, but I think with mlynar you can just dps it

[weak peak]

im borrowing a mod 2 ling hopefully this works out, im wondering if there are characters that would help hold the lane in case something goes wrong, i dont have perfumer built nor have any built bards

[cursive mango]

so mudrock for left lane and you are sorted there

[latent monolith]

You have texas alter for emergencies

I think you'll be fine

[sullen rover]

can silverash s2 actually stall the boss solo?

[cursive mango]

your main focus should be the right bit, with the dragons set up and a mynlar with skill ready you can nuke stage one there, leave stage two by stalling it on the left lane and mylnar it again

[latent monolith]

I would not suggest mlynar P1

[glass monolith]

didn't try solo s2, but just have aoe medic heal ash and top at same time, profit

[latent monolith]

It's easier to just save his skill for P2

[weak peak]

yeah doing it rn, gonna go for stall at phase 1

[latent monolith]

Stalling P1 is not particularly dangerous

[cursive mango]

whats your set up looking like

[high crest]

Can I still her with kaltsit?

[sullen rover]

i am unable to try it as every sa support is with s3…

[weak peak]

hold on i just started lmao

[cursive mango]

flies in stage two

[latent monolith]

Yeah probably

My clear specifically had cutter + justice knight + perfumer phase 1 (justice knight was because cutter S2 is 57 damage short of one shotting the clone)

[high crest]

It's okay I'll borrow mlynar for p2 and, support it with silverash

[cursive mango]

[weak peak]

phase 1 rn

wait

i let the illusion go through

[cursive mango]

[latent monolith]

Just use an AA sniper

[weak peak]

im not even mad loll

[latent monolith]

3 star Kroos prob works

[cursive mango]

right thats it

im trying it again

ill show you

I’m going in

[high crest]

I think I can do this but the problem is with the problem is with left side hehe

[sullen rover]

left side kaltsit works im pretty sure

[high crest]

I'm using kaltsit for stalling

[fringe jackal]

kaltsit can stall in p1 but be careful not to kill ya too fast if you are doing the stalling tactic (mont3r does more damage than vanguard like courier)

[sullen rover]

does monster have enough time to rdp after stall

[fringe jackal]

you don't use mont3r for killing Ya as Ya is in low altitude hovering mode in phase 2

[sullen rover]

no i meant rdp to left to hold lane

[latent monolith]

There are enemies in left lane in P1 too

[fringe jackal]

yes I used mont3r to hold the left lane however...

low deploy slots

[fringe jackal]

so I only held it for a short period of time

if you ignore the left lane before the start (first couple momenets) of p2, you have another deploy slot with which to murder ya

[weak peak]

surely this works now right

[fringe jackal]

so I used kal as a healer, shoved shamare in as a debuffer (no mont3r), kill Ya and then quickly deploy mont3r outside of range for lanehold to stop the invisi shit from entering. after 2 invisi shits (or after they disappear), withdraw mont3r

[latent monolith]

If Kroos kills the clone the stall is prob fine

[weak peak]

will i still be able to stall ya if they target mlynar cause of taunt?

[latent monolith]

Wait you're using reed as the healer too

[fringe jackal]

phase 2 can't be stalled because it's hovering. if you watch the vids usually people use a slower like suzuran or another unit to stall a bit (like Shirayuki in dr leon's vid)

[latent monolith]

Phase 1 is a ground unit phase 2 is an air unit there's nothing too complicated

[weak peak]

what do i do? mlynar cant kill the boss in one skill right?

[sullen rover]

withh buff should be able to

[latent monolith]

Yeah you should give him support

That's what I suggested you borrow

[weak peak]

im already borrowing ling tho

[latent monolith]

You can use someone else for laneholding

[latent monolith]

You have like Irene and stuff

[weak peak]

oh i forgot i have SA, will both him and mlynar be able to do it?

burst down phase 2 boss i mean

[fringe jackal]

SA's extra dps would help a lot. also if you have debuffers like shamare, buffers like warfarin, skalter etc it's helpful

[latent monolith]

It would help but you also don't have anyone to slow

Carnelian maybe?

[weak peak]

iirc there's only one guy that comes out of the left lane before phase 2 right?

[latent monolith]

Boss probably doesn't sit in their range long enough

[high crest]

Is hoshiguma good for stalling ya phase 1?

[weak peak]

honestly anyone seems to work with a good enough medic from what i've seen

[latent monolith]

Ya phase 1 stall requirement:
2k hp(optional)

It does no damage

[fringe jackal]

anyone works I used siege e1 level 50.

[latent monolith]

I used cutter with just perfumer healing

[fringe jackal]

perfumer is so good

I used her too

[weak peak]

i reached the deployment limit, should i remove some dragons to place mlynar?

[latent monolith]

Big dragon on top top lane is unnecessary

Irene CY defender medic is probably enough for top 2 lanes

[high crest]

Ok I'll stall ya with hoshi guma kaltsit left lane then when I kill all the enemy in left side then I'll redeploy monster on ya

[latent monolith]

Why redeploy mon3tr anyways it's safer to just keep it on the left lane right?

[cursive mango]

this stage is really hard, had to restart with my ops twice xd

[high crest]

To kill ya phase 1

[latent monolith]

What's your setup

You don't need to kill it fast

Especially if your setup is afk stable

[high crest]

Ok just a second

I don't have mudrock for left lane so sorry hehe

[high crest]

This

[latent monolith]

I mean what's your setup to stall the boss

[weak peak]

i failed, i didnt have enough damage for phase 2

i think bringing carnelian s2 would make it work though

[latent monolith]

If the thing that's killing the boss clone can also attack the boss that would probably be enough

I'd assume it's probably blue poison or click

I'd recommend using an AA sniper for it

[weak peak]

really? i have archetto built

do they really have the damage for it

[high crest]

Ok I'm not doing cm also cause it's aids

[latent monolith]

This is phase 1, I'm talking about the other person

[weak peak]

oh mb

[high crest]

I'll level blue poison then for the clone just to be safe

[latent monolith]

Just try it

Worst case you lose 1 sanity

She's probably enough already

[high crest]

Ok thank I'll try it

[cursive mango]

I made one error and that cost that run ;-;

I can do it tho

[weak peak]

carnelian s2 worked!!!

im finally done

[weak gazelle]

keep going you can do it

[cursive mango]

nice you did it

getting bad rng on this second completion :l

[fluid knot]

struggling with 3-7 rn

i am terribly bad at this game

[tidal sedge]

It's not that hard

• fullhouse m3 squad
  Lemme see your squad

[tidal sedge]

Outside of boss stage is doable with single E2 + borrow or run full of medic

[fluid knot]

I am poor

[weak peak]

borrowing an e2 bagpipe helped me out on this stage

[fluid knot]

Have this image

[tidal sedge]

Well clear whatever stage u can in event and buy mat/lmd/exp you need

[cursive mango]

holy this rng

[tidal sedge]

3-7 right lemme test run

[weak peak]

what part of the stage are you having a tough time with?

[fluid knot]

The constant bombardment of extremely tanky and painful troops

[weak peak]

do you have lava built?

[fluid knot]

Hmmmm

[sullen rover]

horn works wonder

literally single dpsed it

[fluid knot]

Afraid not

[weak peak]

they cant borrow e2 btw

[sullen rover]

horn is using s1

also my entire team is 3 star and jessica is e1 where would i borrow e2 horn

[cursive mango]

to think I almost first tried the 2nd run

aaaa

[forest quiver]

Is [slice the seasons] (ya's ability the one that does aoe damage) triggered by certain hp% loss or time based?

[sullen rover]

if youre talking about the aoe thing after switch its hp loss

[foggy grove]

hp%

[cursive mango]

i dont know how i did this

serious damage problem

alternatively its me messing up the timing

[glass monolith]

There is AoE + change with clone which is HP based, and just AoE because fuck you every 15 second, if i understood arknemy right

[cursive mango]

here goes nothing

!!!!!

[tidal sedge]

If there's event running try focus on event so you can progress operator faster Because event shop is generous.
3-7 leak= defender
Die = medic
No damage= lvlup

[glass monolith]

No damage = Stop being Physical damage only player and bring god damn caster

[cursive mango]

noooooooooooo I messed up

oh well

I would have cleared it that run if I hadnt of messed up

[glass monolith]

Don't worry, whatever you go real run will die to boss spawning defenders instead dogs

[cursive mango]

nono I've already passed it

just wanted to relive the experience

[glass monolith]

Look on my NL boss without caster experience.
I DON'T

[cursive mango]

legit had it

and then my brain farted for 1 second

and that 1 second cost the run

xd

[scenic kestrel]

ok i finally figured out how to do it, i use pozy to almost kill her in phase 1, wait fot her to get close to angelina range, use texalter to kill her phase 1, and then use chalter s3 and Angelina s3 to take out both of them

[glass monolith]

Also i tried to repeat my H10-3 run.... BUT I DONT RECALL A SINGLE TIMING

[cursive mango]

[glass monolith]

Like i remember Weedy carried left, but i jsut don't recall when to S3 anymore

[cursive mango]

at this point of the run, it should have beena win xd

[tidal sedge]

Shamare is great if she can be deploy right on enemy face with fragile and doll debuff

[latent monolith]

The doll alone is enough, the fragile is more of an extra thing rather than something you try to get

There are better sources of fragile and fragile doesn't stack

[tidal sedge]

Compare to 6* yes, her aoe fragile at 1 place while her doll could drop another place and it's different type of debuff. Like Ya has split into 2

[cursive mango]

ok me try one last try

im gonna beat this twice

I believe

[glass monolith]

Shamare fragile part is meh. Best case scenario it will cheese 10% of enemy max hp (less based on how far you overshot 40% hp needed to activate fragile)

But that fragile can help with chongus enemies like PO0 robots and Chapter 12 WHY IT HAS THIS MUCH DAMAGE REDUCTION? shit

[cursive mango]

im tired ;-;

i give up, I did it once but that took me hours

[glass monolith]

Fuck... I need to bring S1 Shamare to PO0 robots now

[fluid knot]

I somehow survived….

[cursive mango]

im gonna do xp mission

to prepare for elya instead

[glass monolith]

Uh.... that's waste of boxes on left side because all enemies follow shortest path and go there anyway

[cursive mango]

yeah buit its cool looking

its like a line

gotta save my daily sanity pots for tomorow to farm red certs

[glass monolith]

Jokes on you, i will burn sanity pot, auto finish annihilation for this week and advance to farming device/rock/rma (WHO PUT THEM TOGETHER?)

[cursive mango]

based I dont need rock

I have many rock

look at me

device tho

[glass monolith]

45% drop rate device

[cursive mango]

[high crest]

Damn ex8 is hard

[cursive mango]

I would have done it a second time ;-;

but it just proves ling strat works

[high crest]

I can't with ling I'll just cope with mlynar

[cursive mango]

wdym you cant with ling

I have a 20% clear rate with my crappy squad with ling tho

[high crest]

I can do this

[cursive mango]

youve inspired me to do it

holy battle plans, im out

guess I cant ;-;

[high crest]

Man just slight man I did it but he just swap gaddamit

[tidal sedge]

the boss is genderless bro

[cursive mango]

boss is an entity

[glass monolith]

Boss is definitely male because I wouldn't tell this much curse words on woman

[cursive mango]

crikey well its not a he or a she

it an it

[vernal lion]

ya never tell me your gender

[neon charm]

No booba, definetely not a woman

Althought they call it woman in story

[vernal lion]

Feranmuts are gods, they're genderless

[lapis hornet]

it's defo a dude

smh

think in cn they use neutral divine pronoun so it's never specified, idk if ppl are running away with all this genderless thing tho

[tidal sedge]

this is what it wrote on fandom though

[high crest]

Is chalter good for the boss ex8? I'll try her mext

[glass monolith]

#strategy message With Suzu you can kill both bosses

[lapis hornet]

mlynar no work?

on cm idt anyone can straight up nuke boss without support

[high crest]

Don't have Suzu mate

[sullen rover]

where are you stalling first phase boss

[high crest]

In the beginning I stuck it there

[sullen rover]

and mlynar next to that staller facing down?

[high crest]

In it's beginning position and yes he is facing down

[sullen rover]

let me just check his damage right now in non cm

[high crest]

No need mate thank you

I'll try it with a slower

[latent monolith]

Boss description uses "it"

[neon charm]

[tidal sedge]

it is neutral in gender part

[sullen rover]

idk what your setup is but the boss dies pretty easy

[tidal sedge]

this is not CM part

[sullen rover]

he is not doing cm

hes doing normal

[high crest]

Damn my positioning is the problem hehe sorry

[tidal sedge]

lol

[high crest]

And thank you

[sullen rover]

yw i was bored and had zero sanity anyways

[high crest]

I help it with silverash and the boss swaps away haysss

[sullen rover]

you should use sa for the main lane to clear mobs

mlynar solo dps it at non cm

[high crest]

Ok thank you

[rich echo]

ok arknights nerds. wb ex 8 cm letsa go. no masteries on penance or mountain yet and these goobers are hanging around here as well

[cursive mango]

do the blue woman strat with the other blue woman strat

[rich echo]

please elaborate im on my knees crying (250 sanity gone)(im allergic to practise rounds)

my medics are too wishy washy for low end kyo

[sullen rover]

blast they ass with chalter

[cursive mango]

so basically a support ling with module and using chen

you will ez pz kill all the adds that way

[sullen rover]

their squad is decent why would they need ling

[rich echo]

so lin dragon top lane and chen to blast in the middle or?

[rich echo]

cm block minus maybe?

penance actually cant survive left side :(

[sullen rover]

that just means you get to place more ranged ops for more damage

[pallid veldt]

SA NTR p1

chalter GG p2

eyja penance + someone else to lane hold

should be fine

i wanna say jaye can hold left but im unsure

[rich echo]

i didnt try actually

[sullen rover]

isnt jaye one block

[rich echo]

but he cant block

[pallid veldt]

oh

my bad

is CM -1 or -2 block again

[rich echo]

-1

[latent monolith]

-1

[rich echo]

not too bad

just a bit annoying with mob rushing

[cursive mango]

with eyla you should have enough damage for kyo low end strat tbh

[rich echo]

what does p1 p2 mean im out of touch with the lingo

[sullen rover]

phase 1 phase 2

[rich echo]

oh

[pallid veldt]

boss respawns

after dying

maybe you can get away with gummy left lane

[rich echo]

basically its just his strat is to stall p2 at the left side stairs by having it have giga high attack speed

[latent monolith]

You can also just stall P1 and use all your dps on P2

[cursive mango]

yeah

[rich echo]

but medics cant handle it

bc i dont have suss raised

[cursive mango]

oh

thats a shame

[rich echo]

or any1 else with burst healing

[pallid veldt]

i dont really know why kyo low rarity guide is being considered here like

[rich echo]

yeah i dont think its necessary

[pallid veldt]

those are for new players who only have low rarity units

[rich echo]

eyja is so stronk

[cursive mango]

[pallid veldt]

eyja + chalter should be enough to kill p2

[latent monolith]

I looked up the guide
saw it was 17 minutes
nope

[pallid veldt]

GG is fine too

[cursive mango]

howd you have so many units but no medics

[pallid veldt]

he literally have 3 e1 max medics

wdym you have no medics

[rich echo]

my account is giga neglected

i didnt play for so long

[pallid veldt]

there are like only 4 medics in this game worth e2ing anyways

[rich echo]

but most content the medics i have are enough

[pallid veldt]

and half of them arent even medics

[sullen rover]

i literally had saria solo heal the top lane do you even need a bunch of medics

[pallid veldt]

no

[rich echo]

idk gummy is m3

[pallid veldt]

thats fine lmao

[rich echo]

medics is just for kyo low end strat

i think gummy does fine

[pallid veldt]

but yeah you can bring ptilo or something if you really want

i feel like chalter + GG should be enough

or chalter + eyja

[rich echo]

for boss killing?

[pallid veldt]

yes

[rich echo]

so is that on the bottom lane or

[pallid veldt]

bottom lane yeah

[rich echo]

do i not need to bait attacks

[pallid veldt]

biggest problem is like lane holding

[rich echo]

ya p2 is scarey

[pallid veldt]

the boss does like no damage

lol

just put ptilo with them i doubt youll even have to activate skill

[cursive mango]

does no damage

[rich echo]

ok

[cursive mango]

two shots my blocker

[latent monolith]

Suzuran S3 outhealed the boss on mlynar (with perfumer talent help)

[rich echo]

it doesnt do no damage

but im guessing easy enough to sustain

[latent monolith]

Yeah the heal requirement is not high

Especially P1

[rich echo]

also gg s2?

[pallid veldt]

she literally does 800 damage

[latent monolith]

You can nuke P2 to make it easier too

[pallid veldt]

on EX 8

[latent monolith]

P2 teleport can one shot some ranged units though

[rich echo]

medic one shot wahey

[pallid veldt]

thats like

not possible

[rich echo]

e1 max ptilo gets one shot on boss tp

[latent monolith]

It does 1920 arts in CM

So it can definitely one shot ranged units

[pallid veldt]

yeah i meant the normal attacks

not the explosion

just deploy ptilo after the explosion then

chalter isnt dying to that

also its 1.5 tile radius

just dont let the boss walk that far

[latent monolith]

Yeah it's easy to avoid when you've got like chalter and stuff to dps the boss

[cyan gorge]

Medicless behavior

[pallid veldt]

wdym

[cursive mango]

sussaruo

[pallid veldt]

there are literally like

4

medics that actually gain a lot from e2

maybe 5

kal and reedic are two of those

and they arent even medics

[cursive mango]

so perfumer and ptilo

whos the 5th

[pallid veldt]

i was thinking

NG and warf

and arguably ptilo

NG and ptilo are both like

better perfumers so

[cyan gorge]

Not really since their niches are completely different outside of subclass

[pallid veldt]

what

the only thing perfumer does that NG and ptilo dont

are like what

30 hps or something

global

nvm its like 20

[gentle finch]

lol

[cyan gorge]

Which I find is pretty significant

[pallid veldt]

are you like

kidding

or are you actually being serious

i cant tell

[surreal star]

hot take inc

but ng ptilo>perf

[pallid veldt]

but

but

i can heal my mudrock

with perfumer

[surreal star]

just place nearl to increase mud healing

[foggy grove]

is that really hot take

[pallid veldt]

the blemi mud synergy real...

[rich echo]

ok sa nearlter does not first phase boss

[pallid veldt]

huh

uhhh my bad

[rich echo]

oh

sa is skill level 7

[pallid veldt]

which NTR skill

[latent monolith]

Well technically I used it in this event

[pallid veldt]

are you using

[rich echo]

[cyan gorge]

I can solo boss phase 1 with Cutter and Perf heals

[rich echo]

i was using s3

[latent monolith]

My mud wouldn't be able to solo left of EX 8 CM without blemi talent

[foggy grove]

defektiv mud fr

[cursive mango]

based perfumer user

[gentle finch]

fr

[latent monolith]

(but tbf she's underinvested)

[pallid veldt]

fr

[gentle finch]

can't she solo anyways

[pallid veldt]

my mud soloed

yeah

[rich echo]

just level ez

penance nearly solos with s1

prob would if maxed

[fluid sail]

my mud soloed for the most part & i just put typewriter there when it looked iffy at the end

[foggy grove]

ok why are you using s1 smh

[pallid veldt]

nah if ur mud is levelled

[rich echo]

her charged skill stun cheeses first attack

[pallid veldt]

she can solo on CM

[surreal star]

s1m3 is a good afk skill?

[pallid veldt]

with no help

[gentle finch]

S2?

[surreal star]

ngl penance s1 seems pretty nice for that lane

[pallid veldt]

i heard s1m3 is a good afk skill

[gentle finch]

well I'll use S3 anyways

skull

[pallid veldt]

im a mud s2 enjoyer

the mud s3 days were in the past

[rich echo]

it is!!

im just bad

[surreal star]

mudrocknaruhodo

[rich echo]

ok so was i meant to be using nearlter s2 or

[pallid veldt]

let me try SA and NTR

[rich echo]

sa isnt m3 btw ⚠️

[pallid veldt]

maybe add GG

and just keep her on the field

for both phases

idk

[rich echo]

dp fear

ermmm ok i mean yea theres a tile for that

[cursive mango]

i thoguht today was wednesday

and red certs

[rich echo]

my mum did too

[cursive mango]

were tomorrow

guess who is using some OP to farm red certs

xd

[cyan gorge]

Just stall phase 1 with any blocker and a decent medic, save dps for phase 2

[rich echo]

bro im just fucking terrified of the little elysium binguses

puttin they lil dumb ahh flags down

😟

soksen soketsu (real japanese)

[pallid veldt]

hmm ok my NTR + SA s3 worked on p1

i used NTR s2

[rich echo]

oh

is ur sa m3

[pallid veldt]

but idk if thats more or less damage than s3 in all honesty

[rich echo]

does m3 make much difference

[pallid veldt]

id try adding just one more dps

[cyan gorge]

pro tip: placing an op on the tile prevents the beacons from being placed

[pallid veldt]

yeah it does let me try using sl7

[rich echo]

yeah jessica and medic is easy

[pallid veldt]

try to find SA in my supports challenge

impossible

[rich echo]

crusty old guy

[pallid veldt]

oh i found one

ok let me try

[foggy grove]

she solo with s2 if you have to place her on left

[cursive mango]

it takes 2.5 OP to farm a cert OP, which is 5 yellow certs, thats pretty pog right

[pallid veldt]

ok so

the skill activations dont kill but

SA normal attacks after kill her

pretty quickly

so should still be ok

[gentle finch]

time to try again

[pallid veldt]

the exu is facing up so shes not doing anything

to boss

but i also have skalter

idk

let me try without skalter

id add GG regardless

[rich echo]

im gonna try stall first phase rn then i'll try other stuff

[pallid veldt]

yeah

stall with SA s2

or something

goated tank

[cyan gorge]

You don't need more than this to stall (Silence is e1 max, no drone used)

[gentle finch]

@scarlet fulcrum

I changed eyja S2 to S3

ya dead

I just hope laneholding holds up

[scarlet fulcrum]

oh u added eyja

[gentle finch]

I always had eyja

it's just she wasn't helping with boss

but I realised her S3 can hit boss in same position

[scarlet fulcrum]

[gentle finch]

I also changed Spalter to specter

she works better

[scarlet fulcrum]

yeah true

[gentle finch]

wew

I won

I wonder if pram can be removed

rosa already ignores a lot of def

I'll try

[scarlet fulcrum]

Boss def like 660 or smt

[gentle finch]

what's her res

[scarlet fulcrum]

50

[gentle finch]

oop

trying anyways

[scarlet fulcrum]

50 by standard nowadays quite low tbh

[gentle finch]

true

70 for bosses

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah its 660

[gentle finch]

it works without pram

haha

[scarlet fulcrum]

hey atleast u did it with almost arts comp in CM still nice

Yeah def already low

[gentle finch]

eyja and rosa is enough

[scarlet fulcrum]

Debuffing 660 only for uxe

[gentle finch]

oh shit

eyja actually died as wepl

a life for a life

[scarlet fulcrum]

[gentle finch]

ok I still won

mudrock stun as actually useful lmao

ok that was a fun clear

[thick badger]

Fun

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pog

[gentle finch]

@full cedar thanks for the idea of using specter there 🙏
and @scarlet ledge thanks for the Rosa

[formal moss]

who is the best carry here? i tried mudrock but that didn't work

[thick badger]

If u place SA in the leftmost top tile he kills all the invis on spawn point and mudmud should be able to hold on the tile below that

[glass monolith]

Tooter to kill those invisible shits

[full cedar]

Woooo! Welcome!

[glass monolith]

He doesn't have e2 so he can't do SA

at least it seems he doesn't have

[thick badger]

Ahhh didn't know that, then yeah Totter

[scarlet fulcrum]

Gravel the best carry

[formal moss]

I'm trying out ling rn

[formal moss]

[scarlet fulcrum]

[thick badger]

Blue women op

[full cedar]

BLUE WOMAN JUMPSCARE

[cosmic thicket]

#salt-mines

[full cedar]

Oh I only said that because they said blue woman OP

[scarlet fulcrum]

more like they are getting salted

[formal moss]

problem

for context and no spot too btw

[scarlet fulcrum]

Maxed yato also works

[gentle finch]

is this ur alt

[formal moss]

yes

[deft badger]

4 of them in one pic

[formal moss]

oh thats a good plan

[full cedar]

Yee, fast redeploy ftw

[scarlet fulcrum]

[full cedar]

I'm assuming you're already recruiting like mad on the alt but dang, how no Spot

[scarlet fulcrum]

Totter also better borrow if u want one

Literally brainded

[formal moss]

new accounts have it tough

I'll try the totter strat

I have a new idea

[formal moss]

i wonder if mudrock can handle the arts guys tho

spoiler she can't

wait Imma stop blogging

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its actually nice u have pinnecone in new acc, tbh just borrow totter or scene

[thick badger]

Or borrow the E2 SA lol

[glass monolith]

I once agains want to point out that everything we see thus far point at him having only e1

[cursive mango]

i have to do red cert stage 40 more times

[glass monolith]

But you could waste that stamina on Device/RMA gacha tomorrow

[cursive mango]

xd im trading OP for red certs

[gentle finch]

why

[cursive mango]

its trading 2.1 pulls for a guranteed 5 yellow certs

[gentle finch]

why are you so desperate for 5 certs

[cursive mango]

eya

[gentle finch]

how much do u have rn

[cursive mango]

170

[gentle finch]

💀

just drop a ten pull on eyja banner

[cursive mango]

that sounds scuffed af

I just spent 75 pulls for 1 6* on this banner

id love to drop a 10 but no

[formal moss]

I never knew kal'sit s1 would be useful

[pallid veldt]

if you have to farm AP-5 to buy breeze pots for eyja or something

its not worth it im ngl

[cursive mango]

well trading the equivalent of 5 pulls in total to finish off a certain 6* is worth imo

[scarlet fulcrum]

the scene p1 sL1

[pallid veldt]

i wouldnt call eyja worth

also didnt you say 40 more times

[cursive mango]

year

[pallid veldt]

5 pulls is what like

17 OP?

[formal moss]

kal'sit s1 OP? (not clickbait) (carried me fr fr)

[tropic valve]

amazing

[pallid veldt]

dunno i wouldnt sac like 10 days of progress

and sanity

to buy eyja

also ur not just saccing those 10 days ur saccing all the gold certs you got before then

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh yeah kal mon also frd in sense

[formal moss]

WB-7 time

doesn't look that hard right

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah just meme stage

[cursive mango]

true I get that, but im not going to needing yellow certs for a long time to come

but what im saying is, its more efficent for me to do it this way to get yellow certs than it is for me to pull

[pallid veldt]

i mean

how do you know that

[cursive mango]

maths

[pallid veldt]

no i meant the first part

its very likely a better shoperator will come right after schwarrz

id also argue for a great deal of rosters schwarz is a better buy than eyja

[scarlet fulcrum]

Eyja not worth for your squad to begin with

[pallid veldt]

also just because there are two options to get eyja doesnt mean you have to choose one of them lol

you can also choose the better more efficient option which is to not buy her and wait for someone better

which there are a lot of

[cursive mango]

[tropic valve]

impossible for a better shoperator to come after schwarz, but yes I agree on saving gold certs

[cursive mango]

when is schwarz?

[pallid veldt]

right after eyja

[pallid veldt]

ok buddy

schwarz > mlynar lookin ass

[formal moss]

fire whistle and pinecone does work but the chonky bois r the real problem

[void wasp]

well... her S1 makes her almost like a Phalanx caster (without RES obviously)

[cursive mango]

howd we know, im searching but cant see

[tropic valve]

I still stand by Schwarz > Mlynar

[formal moss]

can texas take all of the canons

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just stall and kill to death, no need borrow if u want farm here

[pallid veldt]

uhhh

just trust me bro

[scarlet fulcrum]

nfzen yt

[tropic valve]

🔮

[formal moss]

should i still farm it even tho it's gonna end in a day

[scarlet fulcrum]

low lv acc easily lv up, also for goodies in event shop

[cursive mango]

well, I would have still needed to do the red cert farming anyway, so no harm no foul

schwarz is meta right?

[pallid veldt]

do you have pozy

[cursive mango]

nope no pozy

[formal moss]

can you help me get a strat without a support unit?

[pallid veldt]

schwarz is good

[tropic valve]

beyond meta

meta ops struggle to replicate what schwarz can do

[cursive mango]

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just aoe arts, like 12f or lava. Pinnecone also works ig. Flang only dogs and archer. Mid just stall, sustain and arts

Dogs in both wall will splitboxed so pinecone can reach

[cursive mango]

so if I have reedalt, my arts issues are unfounded?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Same case with aoe caster

[tropic valve]

reedalt is basically a caster already

[scarlet fulcrum]

surtr, sexas, reedic, ifrit u have all of them (i just stalked u)

[pallid veldt]

wtf stalker

[cursive mango]

stalker

[scarlet fulcrum]

[cursive mango]

ok you has sold me on shahwarz

considering I got kal like 2 weeks ago, having this many yellow certs so quickly is luck really

oh

armour strip and damage increases

[deft badger]

not really after a time u are getting more

ur acc is like 4-5 months old now?

[cursive mango]

may

[deft badger]

most of ur 4 stars are p5

thats why u are getting more now

[cursive mango]

I started when I was revising for my final exams

april 12th

so just over 4 months

[deft badger]

same like mine did count yesterday i have 5 months in total 🙂

... - the months i left the game xD

[cursive mango]

ive literally spammed recruitment for the past two weeks to get yellow certs for kal, but now I have another 10 days to

[formal moss]

oh wtf, I'm just gonna go to sleep this is too much

[tropic valve]

oof that's a lot of summoning tiles

[formal moss]

idt i can do a stall strat with a e1 lvl 1 beagle

But I'll do that tmrw

I'm not used to Ya's attacks in WB 9 anyway

[sour mantle]

Tomorrow ? There's only 13h left before stages closed

[gentle finch]

lol

[formal moss]

wait your right uhhhh

[deft badger]

chalter one tile to the right? do u want the medal?

[sour mantle]

Eh, without e2 is chalter really able to solo the boss ?

[formal moss]

no

[formal moss]

nah i just wanna clear it for the OP

[glass monolith]

Well S2 chalter would do some damage to boss.... Nobody will set Chalter on S2

[deft badger]

he can have only a e1

i guess thats his 2nd acc

[formal moss]

reed sandwich maybe?

[formal moss]

yep

[deft badger]

btw why do u even ask us, since i know u are going to do something else in the end xD

[formal moss]

I mainly ask just so i can get some concepts

[scarlet fulcrum]

tbh, just farm prev nodes

[sour mantle]

Did you see phase 2 in one of your tries ?

[deft badger]

thats what i mean, u know how the boss works u made a 2nd acc to challenge ur self so yeah do it 😛

[scarlet fulcrum]

Not even close

[sour mantle]

Imo, it's doomed, I have no idea how you can kill phase 2 with this roster and an e1 borrow.

[deft badger]

i would bet on a eyja s2 since u have 3 casters and a lap that does some decent arts dmg

get eyja in to the team that would be more dps then just chalter s2

[scarlet fulcrum]

If some of them lvled ig, they even hate kroos. Tho she is free from story

[deft badger]

mehh i would boost my team with a skadi or boost my arts dmg one of that 2

or just e1 them since event cheap ....

[formal moss]

chalter s1 can actually get Ya to 2nd phase surprisingly? ig it's just cuz chalter is chalter

Eyja?

[deft badger]

eyja just because 3 caster and a lap in ur team... -res and +caster boost

or try a max pot ifrit.. -40% res

[scarlet fulcrum]

Killing p1 barely matter, ur problem only sustain from p2 and mobs

[glass monolith]

It is e1 gaming

[sour mantle]

Pozy + Typewriter S2 ? it seems not enough

[deft badger]

he can e1 anyway all of them probably right now.. 😄

[glass monolith]

I almost killed boss with pozy S2 but it was e2 and moduled pozy so shit ton more stats (no masteries because i am hyper focused on E2ing operators right now)

[scarlet fulcrum]

wb-9 boss defense just rly smt in 2023 anyway

[glass monolith]

It is tea break before shitshow of future events

[deft badger]

e2 + medal u do just this xD

[solid dew]

imma be real ITW doesnt look fun lmao

[formal moss]

it was a good idea but it wasn't enough AoE dmg

[sour mantle]

IW ? just Ethan (Skalter/Spalter should work now too)

[deft badger]

put her in phase and go afk..

[glass monolith]

IW itself is easy, only 2 shitty elites which are used in 1 digit amount across all stages.
BOSS MECHANICS ON OTHER HAND

[sour mantle]

Eyja + lava not enough art aoe damage ? And if you add 12F ?

[solid dew]

yea, ive only really experience ITW enemies from the anni and the daily CC, the boss looks like shit lmao

[deft badger]

tomorrow legal kroos.... can't w8

[solid dew]

like every big boss is shit
save for UT boss

[glass monolith]

It just has like 3 different attacks each having their own targeting and doing enough damage for people to come here and ask "why the fuck i died what to do"

[sour mantle]

1yo event, with the absurd units released after, it'll be easy boss ig (if you have one or some of these units ofc)

[scarlet fulcrum]

U also have option to do some fun

[solid dew]

hopefully having texalt, mlynar surtr and pozy helps

oh and kal

[deft badger]

u are talking about the event that starts tomorrow?

[glass monolith]

He is not hard to kill, it is just hard to understand what the fuck happened

[solid dew]

wait what one is it? is it those really strong ones that do tonnes of damage and spawn like 10 annoying ass thingys that take like 15 hits or something

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just let them cook, rng boss rly fun for underleveled low rarity squad

[deft badger]

this thing?
