strategy

[pallid veldt]

i mean they still won

so

[scarlet fulcrum]

nice 60 fps btw

[deft badger]

i need help actually i can E2 one now... so
i have mud, penance, texas alter, eyja, exu, surtr, gnosis, thorns, lumen
w8 list Kal, Reed, Cho, Lin, Specter alter, Weedy, Saga, Blaze, Mostima, Aak, Vigil, Mizuki, Gladia

who should i like skip totally and never lvl? my guess Vigil, Mizuki, Mostima?

btw i don't wanna lvl something that i am going to use like one time in a year and then forget i do even have... beside weedy i want that thing 😄

[lapis hornet]

it's rare that you really need multiple vanguards on a stage tbh, in most cases you won't see any difference from using myrtle vs sail vs texas vs zima or whoever

[pallid veldt]

kal i guess

shes probably the biggest priority there

reed would also be good

[lapis hornet]

ig use sail cause she's 6* and shiny idk

[scarlet fulcrum]

I used zima s1 for dp gen if needed

[deft badger]

my problem is that i got blaze now.. plan was kal, reed, cho.. game gifted me again something and now i don't know what to do -.-

[cursive mango]

doyou have a normal spectre e2

[pallid veldt]

kal and reed definitely take precedence over blaze

[deft badger]

nope

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can ignore balze and lin yea, also vigil

[cursive mango]

you can always borrow a blaze E2 if needed then I guess

[deft badger]

have seen a lot of people use blaze she isn't that good?

[pallid veldt]

blaze is fine but she kinda just does the same thing mud and thorns do in most stages

so

[deft badger]

hmm ok..

[cursive mango]

I like blaze because I like what she does

infinite duration go brrr

but thats why I said before, you can E1 and leave

[scarlet fulcrum]

tbh chong perform better than her, unless u care about lazy skill

[deft badger]

did hope u say cho is better xD

[tropic valve]

learn to use Blaze S3

[scarlet fulcrum]

Speedrun enjoyer fr

[lapis hornet]

no one even bothers to use mud s3 nowadays who'd care about blaze s3

[tropic valve]

wait I use mud S3 more than S2

[deft badger]

me one time... lol

[tropic valve]

the stun and aoe are soo good

[gentle finch]

same

imagine using S2

[hazy totem]

Judge can reflect Dragon breath

[scarlet fulcrum]

Buff army judge when

[glass monolith]

Fuck phase 3 lazor hits camo

[cosmic thicket]

does it hit invisiblity (firewatch s1)

[glass monolith]

I'm not that high on copium to try to S1 firewatch boss

[thick badger]

U can also lunacub it

[glass monolith]

camo

[cursive mango]

omg my texas wasnt using the module during the test

fml

[fallen terrace]

Are there any Ifrit lane here?

[cursive mango]

from my test, elyusm 74 (S7), saileach 72 (S5), mrytle 77 (S7)

[pallid veldt]

yeah just put her like

above the rock

she'll probably be able to hit 2 or 3 phases idk

[fallen terrace]

Thnx

Havent started it yet. Gonna try it now

[cursive mango]

texas module does make it so saileach can come down right away which is very useful

I think ill try this for now

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just put ifrit on ground and do arts comp

If u seen green tile when tapping ops = deployable

[glass monolith]

I just turn off brain, fuck this boss

[cursive mango]

looks like ima have to E2 saileach before I can actually use her, onto the list she goes

[hazy totem]

Without attacking. Aak S3+Suzu S3 + Texas S2 Res debuff+ Saria S3.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Looks like can be improved more

But 👍

[hazy totem]

With Warfarin S2 and Skalter S2 probably

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah sure, or smt like stainless s1 skalter s3 btw

[cosmic thicket]

warfarin s2 on penance is extremely

[thick badger]

Penance has some crazy multipliers

[tidal sedge]

400% isit best buff on her Aak, kill tat imposter

[upbeat plover]

this boss stage is making me go insane

it's my first time doing invited to wine or never looked into it

but this boss is so hard, the last phase makes me wanna beat someone up

[sour mantle]

Just burst

[crimson monolith]

this was my first event. Just clearing normal boss map was hell.
cause I was only lvl 20 or something.

[lapis hornet]

you just ng s3 and burst, it's not that deep

or like reedic s2, etc etc

[sour mantle]

Send your roster, maybe there's something you didn't use that can help you ?

[crimson monolith]

I had to use the store mats to get a E2 medic just so I can get sutyr S2 from friend list

[muted robin]

Question for the Event. Does Reed the Flame Shadow use S3 here or s2? I was thinking three since the fire spread is nice on the spawn thingies

[upbeat plover]

the spawn mobs can be dealt with Ethan

[lapis hornet]

you could use both

s3 for the flames s2 for the boss

[upbeat plover]

you can use S2 with Reed im p sure

[sour mantle]

S3 for the event in general, S2 for dealing damage to the Boss.

[upbeat plover]

also im using a guide team for this boss
but the problem im having is with Timing on the lasers

im gonna try using Penance to see if she can deal with them better

[muted robin]

I see. Are there any other operators that can do Damage over time? I do not have Ethan built

[sour mantle]

Uh ? what do you mean timing ?

[muted robin]

Thank you

[crimson monolith]

you just need ethan lvl 1

[sour mantle]

Ethan lv1 is enough.

[upbeat plover]

I need to defend the center lane to make sure I can still use it

[muted robin]

Oh lvl1 is enough? Looks like I'm set then. Thanks for the help

[lapis hornet]

make him sl4 tho it'll help

[upbeat plover]

but everytime I try, my units keep dying, so I just can't defend it good enough
the first try I did with the guide team worked but I died to the timer

now I just keep messing up

[sour mantle]

Yup, that's one of the rare cases where E0lv1 is broken (The only similar case I know is Kafka)

[lapis hornet]

what timer?

oh right he booms you if you don't kill fast enough

[upbeat plover]

yeah

[sour mantle]

You're borrowing NG ?

[upbeat plover]

nope, I'm borrowing Surtr

[lapis hornet]

hmm if your problem is dying idk if surtr is the best borrow

unless you have no damage on your own

[pallid veldt]

what dps options do you have

[upbeat plover]

it's a kyo guide

[pallid veldt]

[upbeat plover]

[sour mantle]

[upbeat plover]

but how does nigthngale help here?

[muted robin]

How's this draft for the boss? I heard it deals arts damage more so I took Nightingale. Is it more beneficial to use s2? I also brought Magallan to stall the chime thing

[sour mantle]

Laser are Arts damage.

[muted robin]

Ah wait I need s2 on Reed right?

[lapis hornet]

looks p overkill

[upbeat plover]

I'm gonna try a bit more then I'll ask for help here

[muted robin]

Oh is it? I've been struggling on this event. Probably lack of knowledge on what's the best choices

[pallid veldt]

how are you losing

[sour mantle]

Random Mag It should work fine Ladrinoval with any skill on Reedic

[pallid veldt]

is it like a lack of damage

or

ur ops dying

[muted robin]

I have no idea. I don't notice the chimes until they get in the box lol

[pallid veldt]

ah

ethan should be fine

to deal with the chimes

if you just put him in the middle

[upbeat plover]

for my case I just can't time the placements of my units when the lasers come

[muted robin]

Yeah I haven't thought of him until people recommended him

[pallid veldt]

thorns can also help with that

but i feel like saria + surtr + eyja can kill the boss every time

[muted robin]

I was using Mizuki for the most part of the event to just stall the damn chimes

Or magallan

[sour mantle]

Any dots (BP, Thorns, Ethan, Reedic, Ling) is great in this event.

[thick badger]

ethan is the cheapest hard carry u can bring

[muted robin]

So I've been told. I made this event more difficult than it should be

[lapis hornet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu_qs4fc3Qc could try something like this lol

[sour mantle]

Skalter/Spalter/Gladiia are also alright but need a sense of timing.

[tropic valve]

Ethan is goated

also Suzuran + Schwarz kills all three phases on EX-8 CM so you just need to figure out how to kill wisps

[thick badger]

Reedic for wisps

one S3 activation and it's over

[deft badger]

yoyo boy carry ...

[deft badger]

at iw-ex-7, i think its her time to shine? 😄

[upbeat plover]

too easy

all I needed was for penance to tank the lasers in the middle.

that was the most simple answer ever but I kept forgetting to bait the sword with Gravel

[craggy helm]

Is suzu skill up each phase?

[pallid veldt]

Yeah

Most likely

[tropic valve]

yes, but you need to reposition her anyways so she doesn't get nommed by Sui Xiang; low ATK defender or non-attacking ranged unit are good for stalling if necessary

[deft badger]

any tips how does it work bla bla where do i put yoyo boy?

thats actually the same boss

nvm

[grand ginkgo]

@scarlet fulcrum Tried to do stage 9 boss without a borrow and succeeded, but the run was very gross and bad

I had to cycle (p1 p2 p3) krooster and cutter to help Reed nuke the phase
krooster for p1, cutter for p2 (baiting tail attack then placing cutter), then redeploy kroos again for p3

and there is like 0 chance this is correct
small kroos is only ever used to clean up parts/plames, but she is insignificant, same for ansel - only placed for p3 and idk if he did anything

if i dont redeploy as much, maybe i dont need defender either

thoughts on how to make it better?

winning with a trash run also makes me feel bad about not winning WB9 by myself

[gentle finch]

I'll try this but with pozy

what is a trash run

a clear is a clear :tf:

[tropic valve]

hey if it works it works

[grand ginkgo]

just messy and chaotic

the point is not the auto, the point is to understand how to not be messy and how to not be trash

[lapis hornet]

tbf the wb boss looked very annoying for new roster

[grand ginkgo]

she flies so yes
i just regret not giving it more proper attempts

[lapis hornet]

like there's so much going on

the body swap the spawn tiles the -1 block

well in ex

it reminds me of rat king where they just threw a pile of mechanics together

[grand ginkgo]

not gonna pretent i couldve beaten ex by myself

[lapis hornet]

and I've always hated rat king

[deft badger]

someone explain me why does that stupid boss in last phase just make me insta lose the fight?

in cm

[lapis hornet]

there's a timer

idr how much it is in cm

8 minutes?

[deft badger]

8min to do what bro 😄

[lapis hornet]

to kill him

or else u ded

[pallid heath]

Using her level 1 with skill level 4 is enough if you are following KyostynV guide.
You can even use Orchid over suzuran

[ancient hearth]

kill him fast enough or you auto lose the map

[deft badger]

nvm found on reddit how to force spawn him xD

if that even still works

well did watch kyo he just yolos it -.-

[spiral wave]

For iw ex 6, is it possible to clear without suzuran? I see a lot of guide using her

[deft badger]

my problem is i dont have yoyo boy -.-

[sullen rover]

yes i used orchid

[high crest]

Buy him mate in red certs

[deft badger]

really?

[spiral wave]

Only orchid?

[pallid heath]

Buy him from the shop

[high crest]

Ethan is in red certs shop

[pallid heath]

He's quite cheap and you don't need to invest in him for this map

[sullen rover]

i kind of made up my own strat with horn so might differ between runs

[spiral wave]

O no I got no horn too

[pallid heath]

You can find him here

[deft badger]

do i have to lvl him? 😂

[pallid heath]

No

Not on IW-7

You use him for the dot

[scarlet fulcrum]

Hey that was still nice clear, if it works it works reed s2 actually good choice with that comp. Also dont forget medal if u care. As long as u win within 9 minutes u are good that was already good approach, if u dying on ex-8 try to less burden of ur medic

[deft badger]

how much res has that boss?

[pallid heath]

Use Surtr

I can let you borrow mine if needed

[deft badger]

i know but how much res does he have 😄

[scarlet fulcrum]

Sry for late reply im busy playing card games

[cyan gorge]

I forgot how much I despise this boss

[high crest]

I'll try not to borrow for iwb9

[deft badger]

i think texas and eyja strip all of his res down

[pallid heath]

Archive said S/S/B/B

[deft badger]

dont expect him to have over 50 xD

only problem was yoyo boy that i have to get him from someone else -.- could have taken a support and kill the lobster

actually a shrimp

[pallid heath]

You really don't need to raise him if you are already at IW-EX-7

You'll just need to retreat him during the boss phase on IW-EX-8

[grand ginkgo]

IW9 not IW ex 8

[pallid heath]

As I said earlier you only use him for the dots (I need to check it but I'm not even sure you need to skill level him)

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah i meant when it happen to ur ex-8 later

[summer bobcat]

e0 l1 ethan is more than enough for the dot

[deft badger]

i am on cm

[pallid heath]

Level 4 can be Pog because it's one more second of dot

[deft badger]

he just doesnt even use him at the start lets them go in later just not to leak

[scarlet fulcrum]

Good job kuv

[pallid heath]

It doesn't change what I just said

[deft badger]

just going to go like this for now lets see

strip res for surtr + buff exu brt brt

does reflecting his fire work? 😄

doesn't because he is immune to dmg when he does it

[verbal sparrow]

ethan is indeed MVP for IW

[deft badger]

the boss is just stupid this way...

eyja hitting from the side he died in 3sec last phase

[pallid veldt]

yeah sui xiang is like

squishy as fuck

he has like no res

and low hp

[deft badger]

he got a 55% strip from me

[pallid veldt]

actually his hp is fine hes just too squishy

in terms of def and res

[deft badger]

so he did have 0 anyway xD

[pallid veldt]

[deft badger]

surtr was hitting him for like 10% hp buffed at the end and res strip

[pallid veldt]

yeah

it happens

[deft badger]

10% per hit

[deft badger]

have to do normal again saw right now the medal -.-

[steep tartan]

guess who didnt do all of the cm stages last time

[deft badger]

last time, which last time? i see the event for the first time

[scarlet fulcrum]

fun fact beaten by e0 dalao

[deft badger]

its kinder sad...

but i didn't even know what that guy is good for, now i can finish this on cm 😄

[keen mortar]

The hardest arknights boss I had to use a back scratcher to finish him off

[floral night]

me when

What a challenging and interesting boss encounter

[formal moss]

Sui does so much dmg

[floral night]

Use Gavial

outheal his dps

[formal moss]

Pretty sure she killed my saria

[floral night]

oof

I wonder when the game will let me deploy units

🗿

Every tile is sealed

[sullen rover]

reed s2 is so good there wtf she literally solo heals his beam

[floral night]

bruh

what are you even supposed to do

[keen mortar]

Buff army

[floral night]

I can't buff shit if the game doesn't let me deploy them

[flat sapphire]

Ur ughh

Supposed to predeploy

[keen mortar]

This boss is just a dps check tbh

[floral night]

healer check too ig

[keen mortar]

Only reason I killed him is cuz I have the most fabulous men and women

[floral night]

how get behind his rump

[flat sapphire]

U can use specter or surtr to guaranteed one line

[keen mortar]

That is the EX stage

[floral night]

ah

[flat sapphire]

The tiles behind them won't get sealed coz they won't die

Iirc it's arts so u can use NG as well

[floral night]

Clearly what I need is a max level eyja

[main halo]

That was easy

[thick badger]

AH cheese too strong

[flat sapphire]

AH squad too thicc. Can't die

[keen mortar]

Loooool the normal stage so easy try ex

[main halo]

Sure

[keen mortar]

Nah u got y module on spalter u win

[main halo]

[flat sapphire]

U can just use the 2 specters to tank laser

[thick badger]

They all regenerating 1k HP per second they cant die even if they tried

[crimson monolith]

is it possible to beat the annoying spawns on boss map with only single target ops?
no aoe

[pallid veldt]

some combination of a slower and thorns

can probably do it

idk

[flat sapphire]

Some dot is a must

BP is good too

[main halo]

Ethan MVP in this event

[weak peak]

the fire thingie’s hp buff to the boss are unnoticeable lol

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yes

[main halo]

Considering their HP is the amount of hits, not the amount of damage

[keen mortar]

U copied my strategy

Backscratcher specter

[thick badger]

pizza cutter scratcher best for the most stubborn of itches

[fair pasture]

when I cant find a reedic s2 support but insist on texter engagement you’re doing great you make whole comp look so modern

[thick badger]

taxes got 3 hits in tho gotta hand it to her

[timid schooner]

ok time for ex stages

[gentle finch]

level 69

[timid schooner]

nice

[gentle finch]

truly

[fringe jackal]

I have just been spamming random bullshit go at the boss

[fringe spade]

Specter: I’ll scratch your back, you scratch… oh, never mind, you’re dead

[next cradle]

Please help on final EX level of event

[timid schooner]

wheres team

[supple ice]

How do I stop this?

Huh?

[timid schooner]

bring more healers ig

[supple ice]

I have 3 and I could only make it to this phase

[fringe spade]

Who were you using to tank?

[fair pasture]

he has e1 hibiscus, perfumer and reedic

don’t quite make the cut seems like

[fringe spade]

Wait shouldn’t you be using someone with more health to take the beam then just stack the medics in a line behind them?

[sonic willow]

did CY event end?

shame

[fair pasture]

for low end prolly need at least one healing defender and gravel idk

#salt-mines message

[cosmic thicket]

reed alter is not really a medic

[supple ice]

Well what should I do then?

[timid schooner]

use gravel

[supple ice]

Here's what I got

[flat sapphire]

u can borrow a nightingale and use her cage to tank

[timid schooner]

ethan where

wait how did you deal with those flames

[fringe spade]

Exu?

[flat sapphire]

ng cages can tank with ng s3

[supple ice]

Nightingale? I will try that

What flames?

[fringe spade]

The things that go into the core that spawns the boss

[supple ice]

I borrowed Mylnar

[sonic willow]

reed should be dealing giga dmg to the boss no

why is siege e2 before reed

[timid schooner]

e2 reed pls

reed s3 can deal with the boss

[supple ice]

Reed need chapter 11 recipe to e2

And I'm at chapter 7

[timid schooner]

big oof

[fair pasture]

about that chapter 11 can be done in 0sanity easy mode

but

try borrow ng actually? kek

[supple ice]

Ng?

Oh right

[latent monolith]

Reed S2 can deal with boss right? Just drop like gravel and someone else in front of the boss touching it

[fair pasture]

yes best drops are surtr and texter

[supple ice]

I'm too new to do those

[sonic willow]

you unlock ch9 after clearing ch3

[supple ice]

I do prefer to do the story one by one if possible

[fair pasture]

oh right no shortcut for finishing ch9

[sonic willow]

as someone said, you can just do easy mode

[fair pasture]

ch9 also has. Ok my misinfo

[sonic willow]

wait no

I think I forgot to get ling skin

wtf I forgot

[fair pasture]

it’s still in store

you don’t have ling right

[sonic willow]

thank god

[gentle finch]

lol

[sonic willow]

I do actually 💀 why would I buy limited skin if I don't have her

[gentle finch]

ling skin is so hot

[gentle finch]

...heh

[thick badger]

dusk skin is the best sibling skin tho

[fair pasture]

we are not the same

[sonic willow]

Canta and Kroos skins hawt, but really hesitant to spend 💀

[fair pasture]

low key regret buying lava alter qipao skin. at that time wasn’t tired of this serie yet

[gentle finch]

we are the same

the difference is that I ended up sparking

[fair pasture]

I’ll let you know on the day I do get dusk

[viscid depot]

guys how do i avoid the insta kill of the dragon boss when it roars

[full finch]

use units with enough HP

or burst healing

[foggy grove]

kill faster

[full finch]

then kill the boss before it roars again

[viscid depot]

i mean, the games over after it roars

like

my base dies

[foggy grove]

yeah kill faster

you are on time limit

[viscid depot]

that sucks

after it literally transforms the first thing it does is roar

[foggy grove]

you have total 9 mins extended to 10 on 3rd phase

[viscid depot]

oh. thats why.

[timid schooner]

this is like sal viento boss lol

you have limited time

[viscid depot]

i take my time killing its phases using a support texalter

[tropic valve]

you can tank the laser with nightingale or an immortal unit and put your ranged dps behind

[ancient hearth]

Or invis units

Use heavy rain to meme him

[tropic valve]

does laser pass through?

[full finch]

yes

[foggy grove]

can heavy meme tho

invis does,idk camo

[full finch]

35% phys + arts to leftmost, 15% to others

35% of like
1600 ATK btw

[foggy grove]

but yeah that other guy problem is he running out of time

[full finch]

which is strange

unless you're letting the boss get a fully doubled health bar
or like
wiping on the laser

doing enough damage isn't that much of an issue

ig the boss does have 95k HP

[fair pasture]

is wiping on the laser that strange
one of my practices I activated saria too late and got that
was also coping with texter s2 to scratch at back. but would still be fine when surtr ready again

[tropic valve]

agreed, boss hp and DEF aren't that high, unless your ops are dying you should win the dps race

[full finch]

it gets +20000 HP for each phase change

so 55k in p1, 75k in p2, 95k in p3

the main thing is the ranged units on the top or bottom deal 80% less damage

[tidal sedge]

Last man standing, any1 having difficulties?

[scarlet fulcrum]

actually 100k hp on p3, which weirdly enough res reduced to 35

[delicate furnace]

Reedic Solo

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oyuki utilize bug iirc, tokens thing lmao

Nah thats his sp

Timer default 9 mins, extended to 10 mins if u beat 2nd form

[tidal sedge]

Skalter good at team buff.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just use arts all the way, bos res reduced to 35 on p3

P3 stats on normal, CM add 10% atk and 20% def

[tidal sedge]

Ladder + skalter is fixed and rest play around skalt buff... also Ethan front myrtle

[tidal sedge]

Guys is there any guide for phase 3 of this dragon ex 8?

I keep dying at phase 3.

[full finch]

avoid dying to laser

then kill the boss

what's the problem

[vestal ocean]

or kill it before it laser

[full finch]

have fun dealing uh

230k damage

in like 5s

[vestal ocean]

i mylnar,suryr,texalter,nearl alter it

[tidal sedge]

Well Sutr it and Amiya it.

[vestal ocean]

[full finch]

oh I was off

[latent monolith]

What are good ethan positions

[full finch]

EX-8 has 100k in phase 3, 200k with max overshield

this is still funny

[scarlet fulcrum]

Face to face or dr

[tropic valve]

I will have a guide tomorrow, during my last practice plan today the game crashed

[high crest]

Wthelll?!?! I just beaten ya and now this

[gentle finch]

brah

[tropic valve]

schwarz too strong for the servers

[vestal ocean]

what site u use to find that?

[gentle finch]

I beat ex8 cm first try

I thought would be harder

[latent monolith]

Ground boss with massive hitbox so it's not actually that bad

vs ya where there's 2 of them and flying

[full finch]

me trying to remember what the boss's ultra weird targeting is

[gentle finch]

eblana still most annoying

[full finch]

the lightning I know prioritises ranged units

[scarlet fulcrum]

Prts, pinned here

[high crest]

Ah ok

[gentle finch]

ya just gets shredded too easily

[full finch]

the sword and basic attacks melee units

[vestal ocean]

ty

[full finch]

the best strat ngl

simply just medic the boss to death

[latent monolith]

True

Time to put my billion medic to use

[full finch]

[gentle finch]

i just unga bunga'd his ass

didn't clear cm on Original run

[tidal sedge]

This is first time I play this event.

[gentle finch]

🤯

[tidal sedge]

Fr

[full finch]

might see if I can pull this off again

in EX-8

probably with horn instead though

thorns range too smol

[scarlet fulcrum]

https://youtu.be/_tOrATwRwNE this one abusing bug iirc, rip suigay

[full finch]

what bug

[scarlet fulcrum]

explained there

Its abusing tokens instead wisp to summon core

[full finch]

oh, handy

[soft crystal]

Me on my burst squad strat

[tidal sedge]

I am trying to get trimmed medal.

[soft crystal]

Surtr, Ifrit, Saria, Texalter s2, Ceobers, Saileach

[foggy grove]

that's trim guide too

[soft crystal]

The arts buuuurst

What hp

[full finch]

what's the medal

[tidal sedge]

Can True dmg made this boss die faster

[tidal sedge]

The ex 8 one

[foggy grove]

kil no more than 30 wisp

[soft crystal]

I dont think the bosses defenses are that high

[full finch]

oh

[full finch]

700 on EX-8

[soft crystal]

For true to be worth over arts or phys

Yeah

700 is almost nothing

[tidal sedge]

Well so using true dmg?

[full finch]

40 RES

just use the usual suspects tbh

[flat sapphire]

100k hp. Double if full wisp

[foggy grove]

ye just punch with pozy or some shit

[flat sapphire]

Exu warf should work too

[vernal lion]

oh shit +12 aspd, my beloved

[tidal sedge]

So how to avoid dragon roar in phase 3?

[jovial nest]

Sui Xiang is even easier now with Mlynar's fast cycle nuking

[flat sapphire]

🤏

[full finch]

do more damage faster

[flat sapphire]

That means u ran out of time

[glass monolith]

Don't spend 9 minutes on stage
Or you mean IM FIRING MA LAZOR? You don't

[void fossil]

is the dragon laser arts dmg or physical?

[jovial nest]

you tank that lazer phase

[flat sapphire]

Both

[tidal sedge]

Ok that meant I have to do everything in order so it is gonna be in time?

[vernal lion]

yes

[flat sapphire]

Kill the earlier phases faster pretty much

[tidal sedge]

No more stalling for phase 2

So my OP died on phase 2

[jovial nest]

there;s a reason this boss ain't a farm stage

[vernal lion]

this is how you fight BSL in IS2

[tidal sedge]

Is there anyway to use Mont3r here?

[flat sapphire]

Fr

[jovial nest]

not exactly

Thorns is really good here

[vernal lion]

without suicide note, it's real

[somber falcon]

Just put him in front of sui

[jovial nest]

not as much in BSL

[flat sapphire]

Touché

[vernal lion]

without suicide note, you fight BSL just like you fighting Xui-Siang

take such long ass time to kill it

[jovial nest]

either way

Mlynar is way too good here

since unlike before

you had to cycle through at least 2 nukers

[glass monolith]

Suicide notes left behind by me after encountering scissor event on every god damn x2 damage floor

[tidal sedge]

Guess I have to use NTR and Mylnar at the same time

[flat sapphire]

Ok nvm exu warf can't kill at max wisp

[somber falcon]

Need second helper

[jovial nest]

oh yeah those that haven't cleared this before have to do max 2nd health stacks clear

[somber falcon]

[flat sapphire]

For shiny medal

[somber falcon]

or stamp aboose

[jovial nest]

it's kinda hilarious

that this is the only stage

where it's an Assault map

and still has ranged tiles

just so you have options not for any of them to get lasered

if there's no one in front

[vernal lion]

at least killing this boss with x2 hp is way easier than those mf dockworker motorboat leader in DH-S-4 CM

[jovial nest]

the thing is

they could've done this WAY WAY more toxic

[flat sapphire]

Ng s3 + cages tanks laser just fine and u can redeploy everytime anyway

[jovial nest]

they didn't add those dragon vases

in either boss fight

[vernal lion]

mob is way too chill

[full finch]

except the ranged tiles deal 80% less damage to the boss

[scarlet fulcrum]

They didnt know the dr lol

[vernal lion]

kekw

[tidal sedge]

Should I use Kal here?

[flat sapphire]

Gonna need extra dps

[vernal lion]

actually it's above or below tho

[tidal sedge]

3 true dmg

[vernal lion]

EX-8 have only 1 melee tile on the left

that is where I put my Surtr

[full finch]

why not put surtr on the right

[flat sapphire]

Surtr tank laser fr

[full finch]

plenty of range to put her behind a defender if you want

[vernal lion]

I do the meme

[full finch]

what meme

[vernal lion]

ugh

[tidal sedge]

I I did use it still die at phase 3 yes I have skill issue

[scarlet fulcrum]

Lin tanking laser

[full finch]

just DPS moreso

[vernal lion]

ass buster?

[flat sapphire]

Wait does that work?

[full finch]

why wouldn't it

[flat sapphire]

Like. Her shield doesn't pop?

[full finch]

laser is only 35%

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh yeah

[full finch]

of 1700 ATK

but still

[flat sapphire]

So it does pop shield

[full finch]

still tanks fine on skill

[flat sapphire]

That woulda been so cheese

[full finch]

[flat sapphire]

[foggy grove]

if xoli maf correct

her shield is not breaking

[full finch]

1700 ATK x 0.35 is 595

[vernal lion]

655 physical and arts dmg

1870 atk in p3 of CM

[full finch]

oh ye CM

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah 10% atk

[full finch]

still not enough to pop shield on skill tho

wait

your maff wrong

wher +100 ATK

[fallen terrace]

Doing CM of this Whats good to use for this? Decel or something?

[full finch]

anything that does damage while slowing
like passenger

chalter

etc.

[somber falcon]

Either ops that slows or hits a lot, yes

[fallen terrace]

So Exusiai?

[vernal lion]

ugh

[tidal sedge]

Ange gnosis heaven

[vernal lion]

Chalter works too lol

[fallen terrace]

S2 Suzu is ok?

[tidal sedge]

Or ash for perfect 30hit

[steep tartan]

tfw u buff fia on her module stage to do over 180k with warf

[fallen terrace]

Is S2 weedy good for it?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Sure she is good to stall tokens

[fallen terrace]

Ill try it with this team i hope i can clear it. Thanks

[jovial nest]

Ok I'll go with this HAHAHHAHAA

easy

4 trust farms

just practice

i'll remove that 1 leak

me not using Ling S3

[scarlet fulcrum]

pog just bring frd or summon to waster spear dude ammo, but u are fine without em

[tidal sedge]

Finally beat the ass out of this stupid dragon

[jovial nest]

btw don't recreate mine unless you want a painfully slow Phase 1

Ling had to damage that phase solo

[tidal sedge]

Yes I have to rush thing

[jovial nest]

because Mly and Thorns can't reach it

[tidal sedge]

By the way why Mylnar so freaking tank with the laser

[jovial nest]

hahahahah the boss timed out.

Ok I'm bringing Surtr just for Phase 1 and 3 then

I'm trust farming the boss that I'm not bringing my A-game

[fallen terrace]

Cleared it thnx

[jovial nest]

Ok I'll go with this.

[vernal lion]

wait you can stall Highmore with Nothing and Erato?

[jovial nest]

thats basically how you do it in high diff

[strange fable]

mr nothing can solo stall highmore for phase 2

no need for erato

[vernal lion]

yea

[flat sapphire]

That works d15?

[strange fable]

yes

[tropic valve]

yes

Azu's relicless clear utilized this strat

[soft crystal]

Overkill for ex 8 cm right

We arts bursting this dragon

[jovial nest]

just my personal tastes but inefficient? It's not like most of them can be fielded well

also if you want true overkill for arts

add Suzu too

[signal lichen]

i think my favorite thing is ranged tiles protect you from lasers but you still get screwed because of tail

[jovial nest]

And that's all she wrote. 3 trust farms.

No need for debuffers or buffers

well....Skalter IS a buffer....

heh

but it's S2

[signal lichen]

yeah pretty good

[jovial nest]

it's kinda hilarious for reruners that they will skip IW-4, and every EX except for EX-8 CM

pure currency missions

[signal lichen]

huh

but don't u need to do every stage

(excluding cms outside of 8)

[jovial nest]

this is a rerun for me

everything's unlocked and i have all the medals

[soft crystal]

Big boss gone in seconds

[jovial nest]

the only thing rerunners do is do missions that give purple certs and welfare

[soft crystal]

And i do not have suzu

[tidal sedge]

what is trimmed medal for ex 8 again?

[jovial nest]

max stack HP

[soft crystal]

Letting it eat a lot of wisps

[fair pasture]

tf I’ve been doing it wrong then

[somber falcon]

Kill 30 flames at most

[jovial nest]

here's the mentality

[signal lichen]

same lmao

[jovial nest]

reruners want the mats

not the currency

[signal lichen]

i did everything once

[jovial nest]

cause you WILL buy out the shop either way

[tidal sedge]

kill 30 fire?

[signal lichen]

i mean true

its just extra lmd

[jovial nest]

and the rest of that currency goes to a weak af LMD exchange

[soft crystal]

Just do IW1-9 and EX CM 8

[somber falcon]

at most

[jovial nest]

you willing to do every other stage just for weak LMD exchange?

[tidal sedge]

not lettign it absorb fire?

[soft crystal]

Means you dont want to kill wisps

[signal lichen]

well you also get a side drop mat from evrey stage but like lol

good meme

[jovial nest]

the only mats that will drop

are from IW-4

HAHAHAH

[fair pasture]

too late already did all except one mission. Normal ex-8.
ok Lemme try how fast schwarz kill with buffs

[jovial nest]

EX is barren af

[sly drift]

Just don't kill the flames. Is probably give you better understanding

[jovial nest]

it's telling you to NOT kill a lot of wisps. AKA let the boss feed

[tidal sedge]

say it more clear I am confusing

[soft crystal]

Yoy lwt it absorb flames

You let it absorb it rather than killing it

[sly drift]

Literally don't kill more than 30 flames

[jovial nest]

thats why it's a rough Trim

it's asking you

to let the dragon have

double HP every phase

[signal lichen]

the words NO MORE

[tidal sedge]

got it

[fair pasture]

ok maybe tmr

[latent monolith]

Surtr Texas Reed can kill all the boss phases right even with the boss absorbing stuff?

[soft crystal]

English is a hard language

[jovial nest]

if you want to deal with the double boss HP

the solution ain't more nukes

it's more buffers/debuffers

like high risk

[soft crystal]

People have a hard time understanding what least and most means

[jovial nest]

the problem is Yostar chose the words NO more

than LESS

LESS is better used than NO MORE

[soft crystal]

Its the same meaning

[tidal sedge]

so let it absorb them

[jovial nest]

except the latter is easily confusing

[signal lichen]

i mean theres for sure better words to use

[jovial nest]

to non native english speakers

[soft crystal]

More nukes and debuffs at the same time

[jovial nest]

american language goddamn loves to add NO and worse, double negatives

[soft crystal]

[signal lichen]

and then theres people that don't even understand what a double negative is

so its just

ugh

[glass monolith]

At least they didn't use romanian numbers

[jovial nest]

double negatives can die in a ditch

[soft crystal]

Didnt the il siracusano boss song have double negative in its lyrics

[jovial nest]

thats the thing about double negatives. It's to spice up sentences like a slang

it's not practical use

[tropic valve]

Schwarz with Suzuran buff will kill phase 1 and phase 2, and will leave phase 3 with a sliver of HP on CM (about 5%), if you add pretty much any other source of damage it will be enough

[jovial nest]

it's like saying

YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHING!

[tropic valve]

yeah, they leave me in circles

[soft crystal]

So true

[stuck ermine]

real english

[soft crystal]

Arknights italians hate english

[fair pasture]

arts buff army mine not optimized can do 10 sec on phase 3 with 2x speed
is aak or warf better on schwarz, aak m1 and warf m2 lmao
prolly warf

+suzu

[tropic valve]

warf because aak requires shining, and that could be a different dps/buff

[soft crystal]

Aak is the strongest buffer in the game if you can make anyone survive it

Yeah that though

[tropic valve]

ALTHOUGH I suppose you could undeploy Aak and Shining after they're done, and put down 2 more dps?

[soft crystal]

If shining is needed its usually not worth over putting another dps/buffer

[tropic valve]

but that sounds annoying

[fair pasture]

nah why other dps. Im not gonna use mlynar

[jovial nest]

Mlynar is basically one of the best ops against SuiXiang though

[fair pasture]

ok shining s3 sl7 let’s go

[jovial nest]

he can nuke all 3 phases (except EX where you can only nuke 2 unless you redep him hard)

[fair pasture]

but it’s boring

[soft crystal]

Theres enough time to make dp and redeploy 3 times

[jovial nest]

it's your choice how to deal with him

i prefer trying to trust farm them

just as a self challenge

[tidal sedge]

but time are tough

[jovial nest]

the only con of Mly is you don't want to redep him too many times since he has to stay in lane charging his ATK

[soft crystal]

Time is enough

[tidal sedge]

It is enough but u have to be fast

[fair pasture]

but rma/spike ball farm

[jovial nest]

that's not boss stage

[fair pasture]

didn’t you said rerun players don’t need currency

[jovial nest]

IW-9 and IW-EX-8 CM gives purple certs

so we get to have fun

[tropic valve]

overall Schwarz isn't the MOST efficient at killing Sui Xiang since 700 DEF is quite low by boss standards, but she still does a good job and the fact that she can hit from the backmost tile makes her flexible

[tidal sedge]

so what if u feed boss more than 30 fire

[fair pasture]

it’s not a one time thing?

[umbral bay]

is there someone with surtr here that i can use for iw-9

[tropic valve]

2x HP, which is still doable if you bring enough firepower

[signal lichen]

purple certs only come around on reruns

[jovial nest]

it's a one time

for RERUNS

[tidal sedge]

well I almost have the trim medal

[jovial nest]

first clearing = dorm stuff

rerun clearing = one of a kind dorm stuff converts automatically to purple certs

[fair pasture]

ok thank god yea I already got all purp vets that convert to 9.9k orundum

[fair pasture]

ic ic

[jovial nest]

purple certs don't replenish as hard regarding resources

so if you do enough reruns

you can clean the entire purple shop

leave out the LMD, EXP, and Blue books for last

those will take a long while to clean out

[fair pasture]

mats garbo

[jovial nest]

yeeeesh

i love my Masteries and Mod3s tyvm

[umbral bay]

erm
need help
any of u have surtr i can use for iw-9

[somber falcon]

Just check #friend-id

[umbral bay]

oki

it said player not found

[somber falcon]

Don't forget the #

[umbral bay]

ow oki

ok done my name is beemo

[fair pasture]

yayyyyyy my surtr is lv86 and no I don’t have lmd to max her✨

[umbral bay]

im fairly new

almost 1 month i believe

[fair pasture]

post your team if you can’t clear iw-9

[umbral bay]

oki

[tidal sedge]

Yes I got plume to borrow

[umbral bay]

well i already found a guide ima try that first

[tidal sedge]

finally done with trimmed medal

[keen mortar]

Good job

[spiral wave]

Hi I need help in clearing this ex stage. I’m having issues following guides becuz I don’t have a good high def defender/mudrock and I don’t have suzuran.

😭

This is the team that I’m running. Cause of failure : leaks

[tidal sedge]

u can use GG s2

[spiral wave]

Am using. Top lane keep leaking despite that

😭

At the same time the bottom lane keep dying too

[tidal sedge]

what is the point of using perfumer here again?

[flat sapphire]

Heal penance prob

[tidal sedge]

techncally I never gonna use Pen in here u can just healable tank

[spiral wave]

Perfumer’s passive can heal penance

[spiral wave]

Saria?

Is that ok?

[somber falcon]

just add some more ranged ops then

[tidal sedge]

if u have her then why dont use healable tank

[spiral wave]

Halable?

[tidal sedge]

so at the top lane u add in sniper in

[spiral wave]

😭deployment max

[tidal sedge]

so u not gonna leak at the the top anymore

[somber falcon]

you have pozy, chalter, exu, and gladia
why are you even bringing orchid

no need to slow if they're dead

[tidal sedge]

he could have just use caster in Orchid position

[spiral wave]

Expensive. Kinda having some dp issue here

[spiral wave]

Oso damn how u know

[flat sapphire]

Why arent u using a vanguard anyway?

[spiral wave]

I did. I forgot to add her in in this screen shot 💀

My bad but I used myrtle

[flat sapphire]

But yeh u have extra slots

Add dps

[tidal sedge]

Myrtle in

[flat sapphire]

Skadi2 s3 works rly well for killing fragments too btw

Seaborn DoT is a separate proc from skadi's

[tidal sedge]

well u saying u want to use Skalter here?

[flat sapphire]

They have her there so they could

[spiral wave]

This kinda what happen

[flat sapphire]

What leaks? Bot lane fragments?

[spiral wave]

Top lane

The frag leaked becuz the thing didn’t get killed in time

[foggy grove]

How ethan ded

[flat sapphire]

U can use skadi2 s3

They get deleted

[spiral wave]

Idk

[tidal sedge]

there is no way ethan dead

[spiral wave]

Skadi skill 3 deleted herself instead

[tidal sedge]

well yeah

[spiral wave]

Might have undeployed by accident

[tidal sedge]

[flat sapphire]

Use ur perfumer

[tidal sedge]

why u suggest Skalter idea lmao

[flat sapphire]

But yeh there should be nothing that can attack ethan here

[spiral wave]

29hrs of no sleep ain’t doing me justice. Been trying to clear this event

[flat sapphire]

Quite literally deletes frags and they have her there anyway so why not

[spiral wave]

Ironically iw ex 8 cm cleared in one try

[spiral wave]

She didn’t delete any frag

Unfortunately

She got deleted b4 any frag could be deleted

[flat sapphire]

[tidal sedge]

I had a feeling this gonna happen

[spiral wave]

Well that’s all I can do for now.

I ran out of practice thing

I’ll beg my friend to clear for me ltr. Time to empty my wallet for a carry

Btw is there like a ritual to pull for Nian? I kinda have all the siblings so far except for her. She didn’t come home during the last banner

[somber falcon]

Ethan above saria, covered behind text

[spiral wave]

Omg wow

[flat sapphire]

U gotta wait for the next sui banner next year basically

Pull 300 for guarantee

[keen mortar]

Why is s3 hardly useful on skalter I always try to use it but i can’t afford a healer

[obtuse sphinx]

Is there a cc12 homework sheet? I want to start preparing, but don't remember which unusual units to raise besides Mostima and Cliffheart for max risk.

[keen mortar]

There is but it’s in Chinese

[obtuse sphinx]

Could you link it please?

[tidal sedge]

U need Shinning to keep her alive.

[obtuse sphinx]

Any healing would keep her alive, her self damage is exactly 100% of her health.

[signal lichen]

was there something i missed since when do u need shining

[somber falcon]

s3's main thing is the buff, and you use it for bursting an enemy

[flat sapphire]

even perfumer talent would keep her alive

[flat sapphire]

[tidal sedge]

Oh maybe I forgot this is Skalter buff not Aak buff.

[steep tartan]

iw ex 3 cm be like
aoe aoe aoe

[signal lichen]

its the lee pushes enemy into wall and it teleports

[glass monolith]

Enemy just gets feature of cat to break reality when it need to

[tidal sedge]

Skalt gameplay
S2 : casual play
S3 : imma get little serious
S1 : pre-amnesia doctor

[grim gull]

Update on my acc and also also any tips to beat this event? I am not having difficulties so far but I know I will suffer in the later levels

So i just wanna know if my build is right

Or is kinda full proof

(Jaye is my husband sorry 😔)

[balmy halo]

bring Ethan

[sour mantle]

Myrtle S1
Ethan (even E0lvl1)

Not a big fan of Lisk S2 but if you lack hits for the invocations, why not.

And if you can E2 Skalter, do it and you can use her S3 to help Ethan (but she'll need heal).

[mighty fossil]

Mf have skadi and Angelina as his starter

[grim gull]

Are they good?

[sour mantle]

Skalter is really good, Ange not so much anymore.

[grim gull]

I see

[mighty fossil]

Idk I don’t have the right to answer you because I got shining as starter

[grim gull]

I dont know 90% of roster 😭😭

[grim gull]

So is Ange power crept by other ops?

[sour mantle]

The issue you'll have is neither of them are dps, you'll be relying on more stall-ish strats until you got a DPS.

[grim gull]

Ahhh i see

But rn I am trying to e1 cutter

[sour mantle]

Ange is powercrept, yes and no, yes for multi-slow on S3, no for mono-slow on S2. + She's still have a niche with her Weightless effect on S3.

Cutter is a good 4*, nice dps and nuke.

[grim gull]

Oooooh

Oh okay so I should buy Ethan

And then I am ready to go?

[sour mantle]

For this Event ? Yes. (And put myrtle on S1)

[grim gull]

Ok!!!

[sour mantle]

I mean, you'll be fine until the boss

[grim gull]

Thanks for the tips!

[grim gull]

.

IMAGINE I BEAT THE BOSS 💀💀💀

THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS

I JUST STALL THE GAME 💀💀

[sour mantle]

This one is not easy to stall, but I don't wanna spoil you the mechanics

[grim gull]

Ok!

Keep the goodies for furture self 😍😍😍

Anyways I will sadly replace my Husband (Jaye) with Ethan 😭

[grim gull]

Gavial:

Is Gavial good enough healer 4 me?

[sour mantle]

Skalter S2 + Gavi ? Maybe, if not maybe add another heal.

What I was referring to was that with S3, Skalter kill herself, any heal can save her.

[tidal sedge]

Even Ange passive save her if she active skill late 1 sec

[somber falcon]

Unless you're gonna hack the hard 4.5 mins (on 2x) time limit, not happening

[tidal sedge]

Well how to stall your game? U crashed it with Reed alter

[tropic valve]

nice, got my 6 op Sknights clear of EX8 CM

[kind girder]

Can anyone help me with SN-10 ive been crying and doing this since 8am until rn its 4pm (struggle is real)

[sour mantle]

Don't play SN, problem solved.

Send your roster.

[kind girder]

[grave thistle]

Can someone help me optimize my team comp?

[high crest]

I suggest you e2 exu

[cinder pike]

what do you mean optimize, you optimize to the stage

[high crest]

And you build according to stage

[sour mantle]

Squads are map dependant imo (unless nicheknights or alternative gameplays), don't bother optimizing one team. Build yours ops (Exu and the 5* you already E1ed)

@kind girder still waiting for your roster, can't help you without that

[kind girder]

The net disappeared at greatest time

Roster?

[sour mantle]

All the ops you have

[kind girder]

Pls any team suggestion? ive been trying so many operators with different or same strategies

Oh

[cinder pike]

the boss is kinda confusing

[steady shale]

Tried core operator Ling teams? She allows for unique strats, by that I mean just use S3 and kill everything in sight, but S2 also has some fun options

Or maybe just use less 6 stars, maybe mainly 5 stars or 4 stars

[sour mantle]

Lemme check the map, it's been a while

[kind girder]

You can tell how lazy i was

[kind girder]

I did tried

[cinder pike]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/586588958885150721/1039231041585549342/image-5.jpg?width=1202&height=676

Endspeaker, seaborn, golden age

[kind girder]

"Mission fail" maybe i was too dumb for this stage

[midnight wolf]

Who can solo this guy in iw6?

[kind girder]

I lost to the last creature. Ebd up killing all my operators

[cinder pike]

you can see what the boss does

just be careful of what buffs you give the boss

[polar cedar]

Hellooo.. I’m kinda new and I have a question

[kind girder]

I mean i know the bosses, i know what they did but i keep on dying im this stage, i searched up YouTube and still cant do it (maybe i just need better defender )

[cinder pike]

humm, so tough even with guide

[tidal sedge]

Gay stage idk how I pass..

[polar cedar]

Is it worth it upgrading dusk for early stages?

[upbeat plover]

do you have any other 6 stars?

[kind girder]

My hatred for Stutilfera Navis is infinite

[tidal sedge]

P1 any1 P2 only art dealer

[kind girder]

These are my only 6*

[polar cedar]

I’m doo doo so yeah

[upbeat plover]

hmmmm

Chongyue is perfect for early stages, even with his S1, so I'd say build him first, but if you like Dusk a lot, she is also a pretty good Splash Caster so you can build her too.

[steady shale]

Consider investing into a variety of ops. Possibly more healers. Sussurro’s burst healing plus Cuora makes for the tankiest 4 star defender to ever exist. Click, a core caster, allows for stalling certain annoying enemies, and Jaye, although he’s a specialist and doesn’t typically fit into a core team, his S2 allows for good DPS and healing at the same time. These are just some suggestions, also, maybe level up that Chen and Myrtle? The boost in stats from levelling up is quite useful. Also possibly another Arts Guard like Mousse. Would probably come in handy. Those are just some suggestions, not really necessary but should switch things up for your team comp a bit. Also Kroos might be better than May…not sure on that however.

[polar cedar]

It’s very hard to pass LS-5 with my ops

[upbeat plover]

that's fine, don't rush too much.

you can grind LS-4 or focus on events to get enough of them aswell

[cinder pike]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKigIiXCTrI
here is a clear that works
you have to splitbox for this to work

[tidal sedge]

Dusk only E1 for aoe art if you no eyja

[polar cedar]

Ok got it. I’ll try to up chong yue. Thank you

[upbeat plover]

👍

[polar cedar]

I only have those 8🥹

[cinder pike]

you can see that splitboxing the enemy only allows the boss to take 1 remains/buff

[upbeat plover]

You also have a Medic so that should be good for Chongyue too. he's very squishy without one
