strategy

[balmy halo]

run ethan to take care of the waltergeist

[ionic mortar]

I don't think I have him

[balmy halo]

buy him in red cert shop

he doesnt need levels

[thick badger]

Yeah buy Ethan E0

[ionic mortar]

So just keep him like this is fine?

[thick badger]

I ran this and worked

[sullen rover]

yes but you have to make sure he stays alive since there are ranged people there

[dry skiff]

U want him to have atleast level 4 skill

[thick badger]

U want to open with myrtle, a defensive vanguard and kroos early tho, then switch in the more expensive splash caster later

Your chongus would work on that beagle tile or around there

[ionic mortar]

I don't have breeze

[thick badger]

Ptilosis is better

If my breeze kept up ur ptilo will carry

[sullen rover]

this also worked everyone is e1 except myrtle

you can just replace them with your own ops

[thick badger]

Yep it doesnt have to be a carbon copy just use something with high enough HP top to withstand the teacup things, or something that can fight back like ur own E2 lappy

[ionic mortar]

These are the ops I have

[thick badger]

Leizi is good in this isnt she

[timid acorn]

No, Blemishine has SP lockout for her skill duration

[thick badger]

She could probable be more helpful than gnosis imo

[ionic mortar]

Also, I don't know who to replace

[tidal sedge]

Okie

[sullen rover]

its just one sniper and one caster with ethan for the main lane if youre having trouble early game deploy another sniper

[thick badger]

Just make sure u add ethan and activate healers skills during the last wave, u have a couple positioning suggestions, try them out

[ionic mortar]

So like this?

[thick badger]

Yeah

[sullen rover]

that could probably work

[thick badger]

Skill lv 4 on ethan right?

[ionic mortar]

Yes

[thick badger]

Ight go ahead gl

[ionic mortar]

Good start?

[sullen rover]

eh remember to deploy defender as your last op so the ranged guy doesnt shoot your dps

thats it i guess

[thick badger]

And deploy ethan as soon as possible

[ionic mortar]

?

[sullen rover]

eh ranged guy near end might shoot your ethan

and hes e0 so

[thick badger]

Yep deploy a bait near red box and ethan to divert the shots

[ionic mortar]

Yeah...

[sullen rover]

yeah get vanguards to hold lane early game then deploy defender as last op

[ionic mortar]

Can I salvage this?

[thick badger]

With gitano u might be able to clear the ceramics

[sullen rover]

slow aspd so idk

[thick badger]

Its a big might

[ionic mortar]

Nevermind dead

[thick badger]

Why no deployed lappy

She can trade blows

And come on top

[ionic mortar]

I did at the end

[balmy halo]

make ethan play backsite

did u clear it already

[ionic mortar]

No

[balmy halo]

i mean i dont see any leak

[waxen haven]

Bro how to beat iw-9

[sullen rover]

might work this run

[thick badger]

Yeah since ur Ethan is E0 he should be placed safe to the right

[sullen rover]

deploy mwynar and let him go sicko mode

[waxen haven]

like the thorns strat but mlynar on his position?

[jaunty swan]

hello guys i want to ask, should i focus on 1 character going all the way to E2M3? (i did pozy M3 and i feel drained now) , or i should raise multiple units just to E2 and stick them at around lvl 30 first, then later going for masteries? here is my deck

[sullen rover]

whats the thorns strat though

[thick badger]

Pozy strat is best strat for boss imo

[waxen haven]

Thorns on the tile where he doesn't reach and then place 3 healers down with gravel baiting

I'm talking bout 1 6* run

[ionic mortar]

Oh it's a clear

[sullen rover]

i prefer e2 then masteries because e2 has a bigger powerspike but that sometimes depends on the op

[sullen rover]

let me just watch that real quick

[waxen haven]

eckogen version

[sullen rover]

whats your ops anyways

[thick badger]

Congratz!

[waxen haven]

uhh wait

Levelled up some ops

[jaunty swan]

ok, thanks

[sullen rover]

let me just test some things out for a bit

[sullen rover]

eh mlynar in place of thorns might work you might need some more dps to make up for it though

he one cycle all phases if you kill al the flames and his skill come back up fast enough

[waxen haven]

Ah thanks I'll try

[ionic mortar]

Having trouble with 4-9

[rapid junco]

bring frd for baiting the caster

[ionic mortar]

Frd?

[rapid junco]

fast redeploy

[ionic mortar]

Ah ok

[ionic mortar]

What is a good frd?

[signal lichen]

gravel and red

and jaye

i mean there all good

i would hold on jaye tho since he likes more investment then the others early on

gravel e1 helps on a lot of maps

for casters red can actually stun them and it also cancels the attack

[ionic mortar]

Oh neat

[dry skiff]

On a side note
You should build kazemaru
Very strong DPS for a 5*

[glass monolith]

I like pressing Kazemaru S2 only to see pile of enemy dogs go boom

Will be very relevant on SN rerun because it has dogs

[teal hollow]

How beat iw-1?

Minus can u tel

[glass monolith]

Kill enemies outside blue box. If i recall right you will have normal enemies go left and event enemies go right.
All event enemies have annoying ability to leave those wooden tokens or whatever when they die. You can't block them and need to hit them X times to kill. Ethan S1 is great to killing all tokens in his range.

[teal hollow]

How do i beat right side

Can handle left not right tho

[glass monolith]

Attack it

[teal hollow]

[glass monolith]

Fast attack snipers, chain casters, damn even splash casters are viable in this event because how much of those tokens can pile up

[teal hollow]

I see

Who i use tho

[scarlet fulcrum]

Atleast they didnt ask lowstep

[tidal sedge]

That's a good question ngl

[glass monolith]

i don't even know what you have Throw kroos and orchid or something at them

[teal hollow]

Not much

I send caster and sniper too?

[glass monolith]

HOLD ME I WILL CHOKE HIM

[teal hollow]

Man im dead

Bro i have skil issue frfr

[scarlet fulcrum]

i knew wht they have tbh

[teal hollow]

Just tell man

[glass monolith]

Literally point Exu at them, make sure Exu covers as much ground as possible, i doubt first stage has than many enemies to leak

[teal hollow]

Bro exu get overwhelmed

[glass monolith]

Well add Kroos

[teal hollow]

I see

[tidal sedge]

Blacknight is good in this stage bc aoe damage, dk about professional breeder tho

[scarlet fulcrum]

bro how did u even manage to obtain guardmiya with act like this?

dont tell me its not ur acc

[glass monolith]

he is alt of box2

[teal hollow]

I watch guide on how to beat stage

I cant even beat stage on my own

Well not all of them

[glass monolith]

Well, everyone do their thing, i personally avoid game which i can't do without guides because burnout is real

[teal hollow]

So how to beat iw is just spam as much unit to kill scroll?

[scarlet fulcrum]

well atleast u were not asking lowstep or smt similiar(there was some) gl then

[glass monolith]

in nutshell, yes

[teal hollow]

Wow this event is easy then

[scarlet fulcrum]

rapit hit and dot will easily counter it

[scarlet ledge]

woooh pro

[glass monolith]

Have i told you there are "scroll" which take damage only from arts?

[teal hollow]

I think i see it at cc11 daily map

Blue drgaon carry pot thingy?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah

[glass monolith]

it was added during cc9 or 10, but yes, that shit map

[teal hollow]

Man this event suck

[scarlet ledge]

ethan s1

[teal hollow]

Can i just use texalt?

Or surtr

[scarlet ledge]

tex2 better

or just use ethan s1

[teal hollow]

Surtr it is

[scarlet fulcrum]

even shifter works if u believe enough

[scarlet ledge]

i did it

#media-content

[glass monolith]

Texas S3, Ethan S1, Blue frog, Weedy S2 is cheat

[scarlet ledge]

its there

[teal hollow]

Do thordn work?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh Feater

[glass monolith]

not really because he will attack only single at time

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pog

[glass monolith]

BP at least multihit

[scarlet ledge]

he will help a little

but ye

st

[teal hollow]

Ok i use surtr then

[scarlet ledge]

ye

ex 7 cm malded alot

[teal hollow]

Kal s2 or s3 here?

[scarlet fulcrum]

I watched ex-6, that was quite fun clear

[scarlet ledge]

cm is impossible

did you see how i need to drop aurora

cm increase defender dp

@scarlet fulcrum ex 5 cm is fun too

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah the map quite unique

That was interesting setup i rember doing low 5* here. But i cant find it in my folder lmao

[glass monolith]

which EX has funny spear enemy choo-choo into your face and do infinite damage?

Me 1 year ago: Nice, i wasted their stacks, their future attacks will do less damage.... Wait why it still killed my defender

[scarlet fulcrum]

Clearly can be optimized

well dude baiting anyway so i will dip

[waxen haven]

Ok I give up on IW-9

[scarlet ledge]

@scarlet fulcrum

[scarlet fulcrum]

afk after flag?

Oh wait nvm Schwarz and ng s3

ros s2

Blem s3

Insteresting choice

[scarlet ledge]

blem can tank spear

need module

to damage reduction

rossy is for wisp

and enemy waves

[scarlet fulcrum]

[tropic valve]

first time I've seen Ros for wisps, interesting

[scarlet ledge]

s2 multihit

[tropic valve]

I guess she does have the aoe + aftershock

does she get the whole wave?

[scarlet ledge]

on p1 and p2 ye

p3 is diff

[scarlet fulcrum]

She is nice for this task yea, OD event flashback

[tropic valve]

well you have enough damage to do p3 with some wisps I guess that works

[scarlet ledge]

schwarz and horn is understandable

[scarlet fulcrum]

Is this Schwarz frd?

[scarlet ledge]

ya

[scarlet fulcrum]

[tropic valve]

oh interesting I went with Schwarz modY because the wait times are really long in this map

[scarlet ledge]

cirno

[tropic valve]

it depends on when you kill stuff though

[scarlet ledge]

i dont have the other module

[tropic valve]

tragic

[scarlet ledge]

if it schwRz have seocnd mod

the clear will be much faster

[waxen swan]

How do yoh use vigil without coping?

[sullen rover]

use him in base

[waxen swan]

That's cheating

It's like having a child and ignore them for there childhood even known you didn't left them

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just think like you pay him to work in base

[celest solstice]

alright how do I do this, last time I did this I had e2 blaze 70 but now its e2 25 so block count increase

[sullen rover]

its not ignoring them if you force them to work for you

[scarlet fulcrum]

Borrow chalter instead

[celest solstice]

somewhat concerned for the drones but I think SA can handle? no idea

[celest solstice]

why chalter

ah to slow unblocked enemies?

[scarlet fulcrum]

She will kill big wave faster

[celest solstice]

facing where

center?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea

[celest solstice]

k Ill do a run

[scarlet fulcrum]

Also u can retreat ur AA after 300

Place blaze in most outer formation as blocker

Doesnt matter tbh

[celest solstice]

how do I place eyja

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just place her after ur aa job done

300 basically free

[celest solstice]

and where do I place aa-

[scarlet fulcrum]

Beside chalter or beside mon3tr

Most likely former cause ur kal setup

[celest solstice]

well Im doing this-

I mean its fine right?

[scarlet fulcrum]

uh kroos will die from fanatics

[celest solstice]

let me redo it then

Reed alter where?

[waxen swan]

Why

[celest solstice]

why what

[waxen swan]

Why her

[celest solstice]

cause shes nice to use for crowd control

?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Swap ptilo and kal, reed below chalter

Eyja also fine for this

[celest solstice]

sure sure

kal facing down?

like this?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Nah facing left, in case mon full hp

She will help other (cope)

[celest solstice]

I mean she will because Im placing mon3tr at back

as support

[scarlet fulcrum]

well sure, fine either way

[celest solstice]

blaze facing where

[scarlet fulcrum]

Facing right, in front of chalter

[celest solstice]

facing right?

ok

[celest solstice]

facing bottom or right?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Bott

[celest solstice]

kk

[scarlet fulcrum]

anything goes with ur squad tbh, even without borrow

[celest solstice]

gah leaked at 390

[celest solstice]

Ill do on with no borrow, I wanna see how it does, Im assuming eyja in the position of chalter

[scarlet fulcrum]

Most likely u forgor to body block or stun bait

[celest solstice]

no one told me to stun bait

Ill just place some random units to not get stunned later

[scarlet fulcrum]

I thought u knew, just change ur 1 vg slot to castle or smt

[celest solstice]

castle?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Robot, if no him just random unit ye

[celest solstice]

Ill just place vanguard

[scarlet fulcrum]

U also have SA to helidrop here. Annoying Enemy squishy enough

[celest solstice]

lol

Im using SA to kill top left peeps

so no cant heli drop SA till late into the game

like 390

[scarlet fulcrum]

SA facing right reach both lane

[celest solstice]

ah ok I was making SA look top

lol

[scarlet fulcrum]

💀

[celest solstice]

beside eyja or reed

[scarlet fulcrum]

Eyja

[celest solstice]

ok

[scarlet fulcrum]

Focus drone first

[celest solstice]

when can I remove?

when all the drones are out?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah around 300ish

[celest solstice]

idk what the hell happened but Im leaking when solo

with no support

Ill go borrow chalter again, but Ill do it tomorrow cause Im sleepy

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah sure, just borrow for qol

[celest solstice]

just doing anni for quests of orundum

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ye

[hard breach]

Is this good or should I change any of them (less than two days in the game so I'm kinda clueless about team formations)

[verbal sparrow]

oh that's the anni map where passenger sweeps

[sullen granite]

Instead of looking at a guide and stomping the stage that way, I'll ask here and try to improve my own gameplay. What am I doing wrong?

These maps are getting super tough for me

[cosmic thicket]

You didn't deploy mlynar

Also do you know what you leaked to

[sullen granite]

Tbh no

[cinder pike]

what stage is this?

[cosmic thicket]

5-4 or smth

[cinder pike]

but personally I would try bait each bomb drone with a frd like gravel

[zealous geyser]

i kinda dumb dumb
so like you dont kill any fire thingys for the iw ex 8 medal right
but like last phase the boss didnt suck all the fire thingys yet and idk why i lost???
am i dumb or smth pls explain why i lost

[cinder pike]

there is a time limit to the fight

[zealous geyser]

but

it didnt eat all the fire stuff

i dont get it

[sullen rover]

the fire stuff only increases hp

time limit is still there regardless

[zealous geyser]

wasnt i suppose to not kill any of them tho

[latent monolith]

You need to not kill a total of half of all the fire thingies that spawn

[cinder pike]

kill each phase fast

[zealous geyser]

oh

so thats why

[latent monolith]

And yeah you have to kill each phase fast

If you take too long then you auto lose

[zealous geyser]

theres 100 fire stuff in total#

?

[latent monolith]

20 for each phase, 60 in total

Trim medal requires you kill less than 30

[zealous geyser]

oh

when should i kill

[latent monolith]

As fast as possible

I personally did this by leaving all in phase 1 and most of phase 3 because I can brute force and this is the most simple thing

[sullen granite]

Forgor to do reply

[sullen granite]

Honestly maybe that would help, I figured I needed as much snipers, blockers, and medics as soon as possible so I reached the deployment limit with them

[latent monolith]

I can leave ethan on field for all the mobs and phase 2

[zealous geyser]

am i supposed to count the fire stuff

i had to redeploy exu and stuff because i didnt want her to one shot the fire thingys

[latent monolith]

Depends on how well you can brute force

If you're a newer account I'd recommend using a guide for the trim medal tbh but if you have brute force ops then I'd probably recommend something like what I did

[zealous geyser]

im not new acc

[deft badger]

squad>?

[zealous geyser]

i just surtr the boss but im kinda slow

[sullen rover]

personally i let everything leak(the fire) and then just mlynar sexas surtr reed its just less thinking that way

[latent monolith]

Yeah something along these lines are best

I used suzuran too for even more dps

[zealous geyser]

kekw

idk why im so slow ngl

[pallid veldt]

i did midnight buff army

[zealous geyser]

even with this squad

[pallid veldt]

to kill boss

[deft badger]

🤦‍♂️

[zealous geyser]

wait this boss nerfs your aspd rigt

[latent monolith]

Use texas S2, I'd recommend reed alter S2 if you have her

[zealous geyser]

alr

[pallid veldt]

surtr + texas s2 pretty much duos

[sour mantle]

Gavial not healing anything, where mlynar ? Use frdp bait against bombs

[pallid veldt]

doesnt it

[latent monolith]

If you use just those two you run into dying issues

[pallid veldt]

ah

[latent monolith]

But yeah dps wise they can kinda do most of it

It's funnier to kill the boss in like 5 seconds though

[zealous geyser]

ngl sometimes boss too much damage and im like 0.0001 millisecond away from activating spalter s2

[cinder pike]

exu buff army always fun

[sullen granite]

Gavial be healing May and Ansel because they keep getting shot, reached the deployment limit with all the snipers, blockers, and medics so couldn't deploy Mly

[deft badger]

just going to facepalm, since u are latterly able to ignore all wisps and just destroy the boss each phase 😂

[zealous geyser]

yeah i ignored them all and last phase i was apparently too slow

i was at like 1/2 hp at last phase

[deft badger]

kill ads faster

[pallid veldt]

simply follow this f2p friendly guide

with 3* as dps carry

[deft badger]

use texas s2

[zealous geyser]

OH WAIT WTF

I FORGOT NIGHTINGALE S3 EXIST

[sullen rover]

frostleaf buff army when

[pallid veldt]

my frostleaf is like

e1 lvl 1

dies of cringe

[cinder pike]

that is a concerning amount of buff army

but no warfarin?

[pallid veldt]

i could probably try to fit her in somewhere

let me try

[zealous geyser]

best idea should be kill all fire thingys last phase rigt

ngl idk how tf i can do that because they spawn in all directions and i dont have enough snipers for that

[sullen rover]

just bruteforce the last phase

dont even have to kill fire

[zealous geyser]

why was i losing

wait does the timer continue when

[deft badger]

i think u waste to much time on ads

[zealous geyser]

the boss isnt there

[cinder pike]

4 minutes on dt

[deft badger]

because u despawn when ads start?

to not kill wisps

[zealous geyser]

i thought i wasnt suppose to kill any fire things at first

maybe tahstw hy

lemme try again

[deft badger]

u dont have to kill them

use s2 texas pls

and spam at ad phase u will be fine

she 1 hits all the ads

[zealous geyser]

alr

[pallid veldt]

i cant find a shining in my supports

slightly awkward

my own shining is like e1 max rn

[opal kiln]

what are u cooking

[pallid veldt]

midnight buff army

[deft badger]

u just texas 2 times there, place a tank to coudle them up

[opal kiln]

:lappphone:

[pallid veldt]

this time with warf

oh i found one

big

yooo mod 3 shining

comically large

[deft badger]

yoyo behind tank to kill that s- and let wisps go

[opal kiln]

I'm gonna do frostleaf buff army

wait would s1 or s2 be better 💀

[pallid veldt]

equally shit

[cinder pike]

tachanka buff army is very funny

[zealous geyser]

omg no way

is ex realyl hard

oh wait

i could jsut kill all wisps

mayeb

[sullen rover]

yeah just same procedure nuke the boss asap

[opal kiln]

idk what I was expecting

is the vid fucking broken

[pallid veldt]

yes

you are stupid

[opal kiln]

:lappphone:

[cinder pike]

unfortunate

[deft badger]

is the vid supposed to stand still?

[tidal sedge]

Does the Kuki start of this boss from a yr ago still works?

[deft badger]

btw can someone tell me what that thing is?

[tidal sedge]

I tried doing it but the ball thingy of the boss just doesn't spawn

[sour mantle]

Stainless summons

[cinder pike]

should be stainless turrets

[deft badger]

how has that?

i just don't know who has that thing...

that guy did use it to place it next to cho

he was punching it like a m- and killing everything around

[latent anvil]

stainless

[tidal sedge]

The High ground tiles aren't affected by the Boss Phase 3 attack right?

[glass monolith]

He will only IMMA FIRING MY LAZOR in 5 rows in front of him

But he takes reduced damage from everyone who located somewhere else but place he LAZORs in phase 3

[boreal magnet]

You can hear this image

[deft badger]

shangshu i dont know how to stop that little s- from leaking, yoyo boy doesn't kill them

water gate is just a stupid map any plans how to setup a proper line of defense would help

those are my main problem...

[glass monolith]

[deft badger]

must be damaged 45 f- times

[cosmic thicket]

Just use Angelina s2

[glass monolith]

Ethan. S1. Weedy S2. The end. Bonus if you have Gladiia S1M3 to just cheese 99% of right side

[deft badger]

0 problems at right side penance holds that solo

[glass monolith]

Penance don't kill tokens

[deft badger]

i don't have problems kill anything there, main problem are that lampstands that i don't hit enough

i have ethan and exu left side taking care of the rest-overs from the ads

will start it in 10min then i just show u how i setup my team 😛

[ancient hearth]

post team or krooster

[ancient hearth]

you are wayyyyy too far back

[deft badger]

https://krooster.com/u/TheUnknownMs

[ancient hearth]

no built centurions?

[waxen swan]

Should move forward and split on right

[ancient hearth]

this one looks like an oof

[glass monolith]

Found mine

Eunectes S3 died to final wave of spear dudes. Heavyrain shrugged off and just dodged

[tidal sedge]

Wait where the hell is weedy pushing them to

[gleaming lodge]

??
Fia is facing left ?

[glass monolith]

"Why you use Weeyd"
"Why i can't kill 45 hits thingies"
CHOOSE ONE

Nah it is look top Fia, i just got lucky with screenshot time

[tidal sedge]

Passenger was amazing on this map

[deft badger]

have to try later, i mean did have 3 leaks

of leftovers

[tidal sedge]

Dropping Texalter doesn't work?

[deft badger]

s3 texas maybe even help.. but i could just get a proper yoyo and not my lvl1 skilllvl3 😄

[tidal sedge]

Just SL 4 him, that's more than enough

[ancient hearth]

Try this. Surtr on S2. If Penance isn't getting enough to kill, switch with mudrock

[fair pasture]

skilllvl 4 would be great

[ancient hearth]

fia deployed before either

[glass monolith]

It only gets more cursed

[ancient hearth]

indeed

but look at his krooster, his options aren't exactly the best for this map, I would have run bp instead of exu if possible

[tidal sedge]

No casters

[ancient hearth]

if you need a caster, probably swap thorns for ejya

[fair pasture]

how about insert La plums sl4 near Ethan? he has built blaze, use blaze for minions….?

oh la plums s2 better nevermind

[ancient hearth]

SL4

[deft badger]

who is this? XD

[tidal sedge]

KFC

[ancient hearth]

fiametta

[tidal sedge]

Jk, That's Fiametta

[waxen swan]

So kfc ?

[tidal sedge]

She's great on that map

[fair pasture]

fire chicken

[waxen swan]

She's kiara from hololive

[glass monolith]

I won't forgive Hypergryph for not releasing biker Fia skin

[tidal sedge]

The hot chick

[fair pasture]

atk interval don’t change in sl7

[deft badger]

will try it out in a couple min going to take a shower... brb

[ancient hearth]

so this then with blaze

[ancient hearth]

more concerned about survivability, if we're talking killing coins, thorns poison would do better against the most annoying ones even being single target

and just to make sure, ethan is on s1 right?

[fair pasture]

he’s in shower

[indigo junco]

who shall i use to dps ex-iw-8 cm dragon down

[glass monolith]

Everyone

[fair pasture]

don’t use more than 3 dps tho

[tidal sedge]

Yeah everyone

NG S3 saved my run

[indigo junco]

got support młynar chalter ntr skill 2 or 3 doe

[glass monolith]

Support NG s3 so Chalter live longer

[indigo junco]

dont think i have a ng in my list

[fair pasture]

ah

[ancient hearth]

nigthingale more important than any single dps

[fair pasture]

ntr s2 prolly? I can test with those 3

[ancient hearth]

honestly, a nightingale borrow would have more impact in this case than a mlynar unless you have 0 dps units built

[indigo junco]

i mean non cm i was hyper buffing him to delete stupid dragon

[glass monolith]

90% of my carry potential year ago was Chalter + NG

[fair pasture]

yea saw a guy yesterday with ng borrow and 5 dps, took a while for him to succeed

[indigo junco]

eh aint got ng in question doe

[glass monolith]

On rerun i did Chalter + NG + Pozyomka

[ancient hearth]

I was running ng+ptilopsis+whisperain on EX 8 CM, the dps was pozy + schwarz + horn + mlynar + surtr for stage 3

losing one dps wasn't going to matter too much, but losing ng would have meant death to the lasers

[tidal sedge]

That's so overkill

[ancient hearth]

I was sleepy and wanted it done

[tidal sedge]

SL 7, modless NG solved it for me. With Pozy, Mlyna, warf and Skalter

[latent monolith]

My CM, reed alter and silence are the only healing https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1014771564685819914/1140165020605501470/Hd-Player-11-29-130823_Fzrj5.mp4

Don't need heals when the boss dies in 5 frames

[ancient hearth]

the more debuffers you have, ofc the less dps you need

[tidal sedge]

Ifrit + Surtr + Suzu

Poor dragon

[latent monolith]

+reed alter S2 + mlynar

[ancient hearth]

I am suzuran-less

[latent monolith]

+sa+horn

[ancient hearth]

ifrit and suzu did most of the heavy lifting in this case

[latent monolith]

The boss isn't that low res

I'd say it's probably suzu and reed

30% arts fragile and a ton of dps

[eager gate]

Look at the lengths people go to to imitate buffed up Exu

[tidal sedge]

Buffed up Eben-

[ancient hearth]

buffed chen

[fair pasture]

for 3 ops clear, this combo don’t kill that fast for phase 3

[eager gate]

Wait why would you buff Eben this boss has like 80res

[latent monolith]

35 in P3

40 in other phases

[eager gate]

🤔

[fair pasture]

40, not 80

[eager gate]

Why was my reed healing for 34 per attack

[latent monolith]

In EX 8 it's 40 res -5 in P3 yeah

in IW 9 it's 30 all the time

[gentle finch]

how is reed healing anything in that position

unless you mean she's just a medic you brought

[latent monolith]

She's healing herself and surtr who are taking the face of the laser

Either way it doesn't matter the boss dies too fast

[gentle finch]

true

[tidal sedge]

Add Ifirt and Suzu to the usual buff squad, boss gets one shotted

Saw that clear on twitter

[eager gate]

Does it debuff healing somehow then? I wonder why was my reed's heals so low

[latent monolith]

was it this

[eager gate]

Like absolutely legit 34 per normal attack
Which means she mustve hit him for 68

Probably

[latent monolith]

80% dr

[fair pasture]

normal atk? s3?

[eager gate]

Normal atk is normal atk. If it was s3 I'd say so

[fair pasture]

ok

[indigo junco]

well horse daddy did it

[fair pasture]

when we use s2 it looks like normal atk tho

[timid acorn]

bad positioning is missing half of reeds DPS

[fair pasture]

different story if adding one more op could be any healer then it’s not optimized
with ng would be better/easier for sure

3 digit green number

[timid acorn]

I mean

[fair pasture]

oh lmaooooo

big brain

[tidal sedge]

Is that Amiya M3

Regardless, that's a smart move

[timid acorn]

yes

[zealous geyser]

uh kinda stupid question but ex 6 cm i cant beat

i borrowed ethan

the white guys thatcome out of the fire guy keeps leaking

[fair pasture]

ok tough situation do you have more aoe

[zealous geyser]

not really

i have e1 meteorite but i dont think she good

saw a ling+la pluma strat but it was really timing sensitive

oh yea idk if this is cope but like

would it work if i used stainless to recharge la pluma skill

and make her spam

feels kinda cope ngl

[fair pasture]

does la pluma not work with ethan enug?
show your squad thank god you are not lowstep

[zealous geyser]

honestly really stupid because my squad pretty high end(?)

my only slow unit is suzu also and im pretty sure im not bringing passenger into this

[fair pasture]

lacking ranged usage I can see why. Melee tiles just simply banned in middle

[zealous geyser]

yea

casters too expensive

i dont really have anymore sniper?

[fair pasture]

lemme me try

[grim gull]

Is Krolter worth it from this current event?

[timid acorn]

That Ethan is on the wrong skill

[winter lance]

Podenko S2 is actually pretty good for that since its slow and aoe in one, helping ethan to get more hits in too. Slows in general are pretty good for that stage

[thick badger]

Sadly not so much because she lacks aoe and dot, she great for general content tho

[grim gull]

I seee

[winter lance]

Kroos alter is great for IS tho

[grim gull]

So I just want yo E1 lvl 50 her then?

To*

[zealous geyser]

do i upgrade her? im kinda poor rn

[timid acorn]

other than that you can try changing Suzuran to S2 and place your snipers in the middle while spalter on S2 holds the lane with some other ops down the lane to hit tokens

[zealous geyser]

shouldnt i freeze the guys?

[timid acorn]

no, you want the DoT

[zealous geyser]

isnt s2 rng or smth

[timid acorn]

I'm sure S2 can work too but that seems like a lot of work

[deft badger]

yoyo, gnosis, weedy... just those 3

[winter lance]

I think E1 Skill Level 7 might actually be enough to fulfill her role🤔 If you have other slow units it might help too

[zealous geyser]

s2 ethan

[timid acorn]

the ethan in that SS is on S2

you want S1

[thick badger]

She is worth raising to E2 for 5* marksman needs just not as helpful for this event as she is on IS, her thing is CC and crits, good dmg vs low DEF typical sniper but the stuns are very nice

[zealous geyser]

i dont have chips

oh.

i thought it was on s1

[winter lance]

Podenkos skill is on S2

[zealous geyser]

alr lemme go on support

[thick badger]

Ethan E0 S1 Skill lv4 is arguably enough, if u can do slv7 that would be optimal

[winter lance]

Even orchid might be of help too you since the main point is giving you time to deploy your units and slow down those knights

[fair pasture]

@zealous geyser Chongyue bonk

[zealous geyser]

oh i didnt think of borrowing chalter

because slow

that

actually might be easier

gotta try that

[deft badger]

take eyja or gnosis

they solo that map

[zealous geyser]

YO WAIT YOURE A GENIUS

[thick badger]

Arent u wasting 2 tiles of la pluma true aoe by making her face that direction

[fair pasture]

eyja costs like 63 dp genius

[deft badger]

i am not a genius i did use 3 ops on that map to do it because its just stupid easy

[zealous geyser]

imma use the chalter strat

[thick badger]

I brought ifrit and she cost 99 DP lol

[zealous geyser]

more braindead for me

[fair pasture]

I have absolute no memory how I did it last year

[thick badger]

I used this setup and won 1st try

[deft badger]

i literarily did w8 for eyja since she clears all of it

[zealous geyser]

lul 3 vanguard squad

[fair pasture]

pretty sure many solutions for you

[deft badger]

but yes u can gnosis weedy and yoyo that map

[fair pasture]

ok

chongyue is so deadass ded

[thick badger]

my way of countering 99 dp cost casters lol, the mobs die too easily to arts eyja destroyed them

[deft badger]

mine is still lvl1 🥲

[zealous geyser]

i kinda regret pulling chongyue ngl

[thick badger]

Is it because he male

[zealous geyser]

s3m3 level 50 but damage isnt the finest

nah

i pulled him cuz he hot

smokign hot

but hes not that good damage

[thick badger]

Yeah i aint no gay but i gotta give it to him, my boy is handsome

[zealous geyser]

he got cool e2 art

[fair pasture]

direction doesn’t change that unless switch her with mlynar which is fine yea

[zealous geyser]

but mountain better lane holder

[thick badger]

U could move her one tile up facing down 2

[deft badger]

u ain't good at the game, that's the real problem xD

[thick badger]

Have u tried placing a skalter next to chongus? Thay makes him bettet than mountain, allegedly

[fair pasture]

don’t think I can? undeoloyable

[deft badger]

cho able to hit 4 sides at the same time 🖐️

[zealous geyser]

true

[thick badger]

Ah mb, u r right

[zealous geyser]

imma be honest im struggling with boss almost every event

[deft badger]

i was kidding..

[zealous geyser]

dont have skalter

chongyue jsut fun to use and thats all

[thick badger]

Heidi can give him inspire AND also block 2 lol

[fair pasture]

great with skalter but still mid in general map
good in anni and sss

[deft badger]

but till u M3 his S3 don't use him

[fair pasture]

o

[zealous geyser]

hes s3m3

im thinking of 90ing him because he cool

[thick badger]

To be fair the best thing the banner was offering was ling and nian, chongus and lin are cool and very nicely designs but neither super meta

[deft badger]

i borrowed one m3 from someone, put him next to liskarm and he went from solid to crazy xD
only thing that bugs me is that they didn't let him hit fliers when he is fully ramped would make him more appealing

[zealous geyser]

i was only pulling for chongyue and ling but got p2 chongyue, lin and p2 blemi sadge

idk how good lin gonna be when mod is out

[thick badger]

The problem is he needs a lot of charges to get to full max dps mode, he has thorns downside

Gotta be patient

[zealous geyser]

feel like even when its on, damage not that good? its just ok

no reason to get him unless you like him imo even tho hes limited

[thick badger]

Things have too much DEF nowadays, skalter really gives him that tiny extra

[fair pasture]

crazy mod that’s just increases her talent from 50% to 80%. one of a kind mod that makes she usable still not great

[thick badger]

Solo Mountain > Solo Chongus
BUT
Skalte+chongus >> skalte+mountain

[zealous geyser]

im prob not gonna invest so much in her

[zealous geyser]

mountain just better

just use skalter to buff someone else

mountain 2 block and also can self sustain

so much better

[deft badger]

true but, that's the problem they made s- in the past that doesn't need extras to impact the game... now we get some weird ops, thought process of the dev was like hmm he doesn't have dmg but let him hit 4 sides that will help

[winter lance]

More like different uses

[zealous geyser]

chongyue just reminds me of s3 mountain except no push

[deft badger]

mountain older op, not limited, better then him

why...

[thick badger]

Mountain has been overtuned since his release day

[deft badger]

i mean if they run out of ideas stop making ops like crazy

[thick badger]

Cheap, never dies, needs no help

[zealous geyser]

at least no powercreep

[deft badger]

that's hard now not to do since u put a chalter in the game

[winter lance]

Chong should be still better at dealing dps tho. Mountain is just overtuned and ridiculously easy to use

[zealous geyser]

mountain also cheaper

at least chong is hot

[deft badger]

what i expect from a limited that everyone of them is chalter lvl, if u wanna call them limited from this point on because if they are not i am not going to roll on them

[zealous geyser]

bruh

sarcasm or

[deft badger]

nah i am for real

[zealous geyser]

[deft badger]

since they made the mistake to put a op like that in the game well don't blame me if i just say nope

[thick badger]

Hey anthony aint no pushover with his looks either, he also hawt

[zealous geyser]

game would be a little too easy

[winter lance]

Tbf, Chalter and Texas Alter are insane

[zealous geyser]

yato alter too

but its not that good to

[thick badger]

Dont forget uncle and blue women

[zealous geyser]

like everyone would be finishing game too fast

[deft badger]

cho could have been even good without crazy dmg, add a cc on that last hit

or let him hit fliers fully ramped

[zealous geyser]

should also pull other than for meta reasons

just pull cuz you like design

or smth

chong is cool

he big brother

and hot

[deft badger]

he is thats why it just feels sad to me that they made him so s-

[zealous geyser]

chalter just too broken

idk id just expect

good damage

slightly better than non limited

[deft badger]

its just don't know, he is squishy u have to guard him, then he doens't do that much dmg to deal with tanky stuff u have to boost him

[zealous geyser]

hes fun to use ig

[deft badger]

at the end u have 3 deployments wasted to make one char work properly

at the other hand u have mountain

[zealous geyser]

you wouldnt really use him to fight tanky guys

he just there to deal with trash hp guys maybe

but yea hes easily outclassed

[deft badger]

bagpipe s2 + u get cc

xD

[zealous geyser]

bagpipe does also somewhat struggle from the 1 block count cuz s3 pretty short duration

oh i dont use s2 idk what it does

[thick badger]

S3 is up right away on demand thx to her own talent tho

[deft badger]

btw does bagpipe s2 outdps cho? 😄

[zealous geyser]

prob

[deft badger]

i think they are close

[zealous geyser]

isnt s3 bagpipe better tho

ngl i rarely deploy bagpipe

she just there for the sp

[thick badger]

Very likely, S2 is a huge dmg surge and with module she starts with all charges

[deft badger]

s2 and s3 are good if u ask me

[fluid sail]

bag s2 is good but s3 is insane

[zealous geyser]

s2 afk

[tropic valve]

hehe enemy DEF

[timid acorn]

Bagpipe is nowhere near Chong's average DPS

[zealous geyser]

in conclusion chongyue mid

[timid acorn]

if we're assuming that his s3 is ready anyway

[thick badger]

But he hot so it makes up for it

[zealous geyser]

true

[glass monolith]

But can Chongyue cook chicken by slapping it?

[turbid badge]

guns

[flat sapphire]

I'd probably use Chonguy s3 kinda like blaze s2, put him behind saga at the start then switch saga for a defender. It's a lot easier to just use mountain, or even blaze since she doesn't need to be fed sp

[waxen swan]

It's easier for him to be in front

Since he need to punch

[zealous geyser]

yes

just use mountain

chongyue outclassed by mountain in every way except looks

[flat sapphire]

He'd die sooner or later is the problem, he needs support like blaze

Or u can just put mountain in front of him ig

[zealous geyser]

mountain is good on his own

no need chongyue

[waxen swan]

In the end he still a better brawler

[flat sapphire]

Yeh he's just not very efficient like mountain

[waxen swan]

What were they cooking whan making mountain bruh

[pallid veldt]

dunno

there are places id use chongus over mountain

[flat sapphire]

They wanted to make a good brawler but ended up overkitting him

[pallid veldt]

like mountain isnt irrevocably better

[waxen swan]

Yeah let's make the 6* brawler increase block heal himself and have decent damaga

[flat sapphire]

Can chonguy hit air?

[tropic valve]

Mountain is a lot more Centurion than Brawler

[pallid veldt]

no

[flat sapphire]

Dam. Lame.

[pallid veldt]

also cirno why dont you play in like

vifer pvps

or are you only an IS3 nerd

[tropic valve]

IS3 nerd

[pallid veldt]

real

[flat sapphire]

[tropic valve]

if there's another one maybe I'll consider

[pallid veldt]

whens fuji cup

[tropic valve]

Fuji is on 20th and 27th

[pallid veldt]

Do u know if u made it

Or smth

[tropic valve]

I didn't

[pallid veldt]

Damn

What kinda clear do u need to make it

[tropic valve]

gravestone triple not enough

[pallid veldt]

Sadge

[deft badger]

does someone have a ling s3 here? wanna try something out 😄
there isn't one showing up in my support list

[tropic valve]

you need gravestone triple AND a lot of emergencies (I think the 2nd seed had 8 emergencies)

[pallid veldt]

Oh is it score based

[tropic valve]

yeah

[pallid veldt]

Rip

How many ppl

[flat sapphire]

Only mod2

[pallid veldt]

8?

[tropic valve]

only 6 through these quals

[pallid veldt]

Damn

[deft badger]

any would do, just s3

[flat sapphire]

al#9640

[pallid veldt]

Did uh

[tropic valve]

ah well, kinda busy these days anyways so taking a break from tournaments is nice too

[pallid veldt]

Whats his name

[surreal star]

i hope you have sl1 ling al

[pallid veldt]

From drelscord

Make it

[flat sapphire]

M3 unfortunately lol

[pallid veldt]

He sounds like a smart dude

[tropic valve]

Polymer didn't try out

was funny because a week before deadlines they uploaded current standings and I was still 2nd

[pallid veldt]

💀

[tropic valve]

and in that span of time, I got knocked out completely

5 JP and 1 EN

[pallid veldt]

Sadge

[tropic valve]

it's ok, sars will represent

[deft badger]

left u a pm don't know if u saw it 😄

[pallid veldt]

Did all of them run 3w1u

Or like at least 2w1u

[tropic valve]

idk I'm not in the cool kids discord

[flat sapphire]

A wat??

[pallid veldt]

The elitist JP AKcord

[flat sapphire]

Oh

[deft badger]

pm, sry... pn is in german, i am stupid 😄

[tropic valve]

I don't think it really matters what you run when you have 40+ relics though

[pallid veldt]

True

Is isharmla immune to freeze

[tropic valve]

yep

gnosis in shambles

[pallid veldt]

Damn

I was thinking the meta is just gnosis permafreeze 3 endings

[tropic valve]

yeah it's a bit awkward because Knight kinda wants Gnosis more but Ishar'mla wants Suzuran more

and you don't always get two 6* Supporters

I tend to go for Suzu

[deft badger]

can someone explain me why all skills need, orirock or polymerization preparation -.-

[pallid veldt]

They just do

Now go farm

[tropic valve]

no escape from 1-7 mines

[deft badger]

bro i am out of rocks!

[flat sapphire]

IW 7 has chance for double t3 rocc btw

[deft badger]

i spend 10 to run IW-7 over and over yesterday

now i am again out of rocks

[flat sapphire]

It's better to just farm device or rma for this event tho coz we have some pretty good rock farms in story

[deft badger]

i am fully(lets say i am fine atm) stacked with all other resources

[tropic valve]

correct, and we're not getting RMA for a while

[flat sapphire]

that's what u think

[deft badger]

nah really everything that is blue i have over 300

[flat sapphire]

[deft badger]

rocks are my main problem

everything i did upgrade in the past month was eating rocks like crazy

[pallid veldt]

Just set up a macro for 1-7

[waxen swan]

Rocks are everyone problems

[flat sapphire]

Wasn't there a cn player that got their macro desynced and ended up spending a ton pulling on a banner?

[deft badger]

lol

well lowest is 126 transmuted salt and 0 rocks xD

and that coagulating gel 31 -.- dont even remember when i used some of that last time

[cursive mango]

[light flame]

how's that even happen when you just have to tap 3 times in one location

[cursive mango]

I need gel for BP module

[waxen swan]

Sniper module pretty trash ngl

[flat sapphire]

can't remember tbh, date change iirc

[pallid veldt]

Yeah that happened

Someone else i know also spent 150 primes accidentically

Farming mangos in the past event

[flat sapphire]

macro L moment

[pallid veldt]

Better than pressing 1-7 30 times

[light flame]

ah lol

[flat sapphire]

that's why i farm 10-6

[pallid veldt]

I play mobile though so i cant use macros even if i wanted to

[cursive mango]

Lmao rekt

[thick badger]

the rock farming continues

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-kurotofu-bagpipe-rock-rocks-gif-19748231

[pallid veldt]

At least my bag has been done for a while

New bag havers are suffering

[thick badger]

new players farming for rocks? oh the poor things

[pallid veldt]

I havent farmed 1-7 in a while

Unironically choose to raise things that don’t use rocks

[deft badger]

need 28 in total xD

[cursive mango]

Me no need rocks

I just spent my life resources on loxic

[pallid veldt]

Real

[thick badger]

altho those are hard to find lol

[pallid veldt]

Eh

[deft badger]

literally every char i went to master anything wants orirock... now i know why they call mudrock !mud"rock"!, she tops it all asking for 10

[pallid veldt]

Most of my choices recently have not been particularly rock heavy

But yeah i used to have to farm 1-7 a lot

[cursive mango]

I’m still gonna do BP module tho, I like BP and DoT damage

It feels bad tho to use BP in IS, is that really the case?

[deft badger]

i am glad that my team doesn't have cool modules

[cursive mango]

BP looks nice but it eats two modules

Not convinced but it’ll remove the blocky thing from showing

[slate marten]

What do I do?

[light flame]

dp, anti erosion device, and then whichever buffs help your team the most in a given mission

[gentle finch]

real music variety

[slate marten]

Ye

[gentle finch]

yes

[slate marten]

Can't find it anymore

Oh NVM found it

[cursive mango]

Considering I did Texas module, I should do BP to not show favourites, but it’s a bad strategy and waste of resources

But in story I’ll be using BP a lot

[deft badger]

i have just 2 useful that are worth lvl3, texas, eyja
got lumen a lvl1 just for the range and healing reduction

but saw there will be some more in the future for the rest of my ops i love to use

[scarlet fulcrum]

No need to unlock bp mod

If u really care just exu for pure stats

[deft badger]

meh if she/he likes to use BP why not, atkspeed and a bit of atk..

[scarlet fulcrum]

Copium

[deft badger]

bro exu -.- i see people use her all the time and i don't even menage to put my exu to proper use, she is sitting it out most of the time

[scarlet fulcrum]

Then why bp lmao

[tropic valve]

ATK goes a really long way on high speed low ATK marksmen

[deft badger]

i don't know she/he maybe likes BP u are asking the wrong person here 😄

[cursive mango]

I thought attack speed is good on offensive recovery units

[deft badger]

BP is a fine 5 star

i like to borrow her a lot

[wary wing]

ppl borrow 5stars uh

[deft badger]

yes i do 😂

i lack low-power units, that shoot fast and are able to deal with a lot of squishy

[scarlet fulcrum]

well i thought its you, ppl who used bp over uxe. Dont mind me then

Oh its really u

[deft badger]

i mention it one time last year btw, i remember u been here we did have a discusion about exu if u mean that 😄

[cursive mango]

Exu module is on the back burner for now because 20 levels

[scarlet fulcrum]

Im joking mate, u knew that

[deft badger]

but that really happened, joking or not 😄
i still believe when it comes to a hord of squishy ads BP performs better then exu ofc on ulty cd

[cursive mango]

S2M1 right?

[wary wing]

yes

on the topic of uxe mod

I keep believing that if I delay it enough

they will reveal her second mod

and it will be better

[scarlet fulcrum]

CN should do that

[cursive mango]

I hope second mod because exu deserves better

[scarlet fulcrum]

Refuse to raise = new mod

[deft badger]

exu is old time to retire

[wary wing]

uxe alter + Mostima alter + lemuen

4.5 anni

trust

or maybe 5th

[scarlet fulcrum]

Andoain as operator

[wary wing]

need so many events man

Npc jail is just too big

as is the alter backlog

[deft badger]

who puts out more dps exu or ash with her rapidfire ulty?

[pallid veldt]

depends on defense

[scarlet fulcrum]

Dpends on stunnable or no also

[deft badger]

dont count def i know it depends on it

[pallid veldt]

uhhhhh

[deft badger]

but who outputs higher numbers

[scarlet fulcrum]

look at FN

[pallid veldt]

defense is so relevant that you cant exactly ignore it

[scarlet fulcrum]

[deft badger]

i know i just wanna know how much

broo xD

[pallid veldt]

i guess exu does more

on 0 def

probably

[deft badger]

means ash has higher atk stat?

[pallid veldt]

no

[deft badger]

or higher ulty skaling

[pallid veldt]

it just means if the enemy has like nonzero defense its going to be very different

[wary wing]

man hasn't read their kits

[deft badger]

since u are talking from the start about def 😄
