strategy

[deft badger]

yes man hasn't

[scarlet fulcrum]

depends on hg mood too

[pallid veldt]

all AA snipers suffer from doing 0 damage to enemies with defense stats

[tropic valve]

DEF is always relevant for physical dps

[pallid veldt]

ash just suffers a little less than exu

but once defense reaches a certain point both are doing 0 damage regardless

[deft badger]

thats clear to everyone just wanted to know who is doing more dmg

[pallid veldt]

i cant even

[tropic valve]

hold on I'll do some calcs

[deft badger]

btw what do they even mean with that, exu m3 Deals 110% of ATK damage with every shot
she does 10% more dmg?

[full finch]

highest skill DPS with high attack speed?

it's tachanka

[pallid veldt]

true...

[solid dew]

110% of her attack, every shot, and there are 5 seperate shots in her attack while on skill
so 5 * 110% of her atk every time she attacks while on S3

[pallid veldt]

try tachanka on patriot i heard because he does the highest damage not counting def he will melt patriot

[solid dew]

well thats settled, the lord is obviously the best op then

[deft badger]

w8, her atk + 110% or 110% of her atk which in the end she does 10% more dmg?

[solid dew]

no, the damage dealt is 110% of her attack, not an increase of 110% to her attack
so if it was 100 atk it would increase to 110 damage delt

[deft badger]

then the first thing i asked means i did understand it so she just deals 10% more

[solid dew]

pretty much yea

[deft badger]

ty

• This Skill modifies the Attack Interval by -0.11. There is currently a bug that causes the modifier to be applied twice, for a total Attack Interval modification of -0.22

lol

[tropic valve]

here are my calcs on an infinite HP Broodmother on D15, which is the most common medium DEF enemy type in IS3 (720 DEF)

Exusiai averages 733 DPS, Ash averages 1000 DPS

they equalize around 400 DEF

however, Ash performs a lot better if you add in more stuns, and a lot worse if the target is stun immune

Exu scales harder with ATK buffs

[deft badger]

ty, i don't have ash but she is the only that came to my mind who has a ratatata ulty 😄

[tropic valve]

now as payment for me doing the calcs I'm going to air some propaganda: if you add Schwarz modX to the squad and don't even deploy her, Exu and Ash go up to 1109 DPS and 1351 DPS respectively, an increase of 51% and 35%

[deft badger]

what does schwarz mod even do 😄

[tropic valve]

buff sniper ATK

[deft badger]

boost sniper atk?

ok

well exu my only 6 star sniper sadly xD

[tropic valve]

in 3 days you'll have a chance to get another one

[cursive mango]

[deft badger]

aint rolling -.-

[tropic valve]

so much propaganda for nothing

[deft badger]

i need skalter -.-
https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/TheUnknownMs

i think thats the best thing for my team i can get

[tropic valve]

I hope you're ready to spark because the odds of rolling old limited ops is quite low

[deft badger]

that's why i am saying not going to roll till nov or dec depends when she will be here

[craggy helm]

Hmm schwarz who also kills bosses or spark a limited just for atk buff

[cursive mango]

Me roll first 5/6 star then buy with certs

[pallid veldt]

hmm any of the upcoming dps operators who kill bosses or spark a limited just for atk buff

[lapis hornet]

hey guys should I roll for qiubai? I heard she has more dps than surtr

[scarlet fulcrum]

U yes u dont think u need skalter there, at all

[cursive mango]

[cursive mango]

Thighs

[deft badger]

my mudrock, penance, thorns (who doesn't do dmg anymore) think they do xD

[scarlet fulcrum]

wut

Purely skill issue, thorns can relate even with skalter

He just mid af for nowadays map

[pallid veldt]

i mean

you can roll skalter and shes gonna be good for your account just like

nowhere near 300 pulls and saccing all banners up until that point worth

[craggy helm]

Watch her s3 showcase. Even with heals and buffs it's copium

[pallid veldt]

[scarlet fulcrum]

He planned to skip yato

[solid dew]

specially :Yatospeeeen:

wait, what

[scarlet fulcrum]

For skalter

[slate marten]

I can't 3 star it cuz the drone has to much hp

[solid dew]

bruh

[pallid veldt]

idk the communitys opinions on skalter seem to be kind of mixed

[solid dew]

yea, early game these drones suck, are you using Anti air snipers or casters against them

[pallid veldt]

half the community thinks shes useless and why not just bring another dps

and the other half thinks shes like

a gift from god

[lapis hornet]

I'm happy to have skalter but like

I use her like most ppl use bagpipe

aka I'd win even without her on the map it's just a feel good moment

[solid dew]

i have her S2M3, shes cool and all but not worth skipping yato for her

[pallid veldt]

i regret doing skalter s3 over s1

[solid dew]

shes a "nice to have" unit for buffs etc

[pallid veldt]

tbh

i feel like s1 is the angle

[lapis hornet]

wtf skalter s1 copium

[craggy helm]

Skalter is great, but she's kinda afk queen. Most of the hardest content in the game doesn't even use her, you'd rather have warfarin or aak or suzu there

[pallid veldt]

ngl i feel like skalter s1 > s3

[slate marten]

Wrong one

[pallid veldt]

who is actually using skalter s3 to buff shit in 2023

[lapis hornet]

I used s3 for what's name

cc10

[pallid veldt]

oh

i dont know abt that

i was in hibernation

[scarlet fulcrum]

True dmg for reborn

[solid dew]

what stage is it? i think just building your ranged ops could help
mostly greythrough/amiya

[craggy helm]

Yato alter meme videos use it

[tropic valve]

I'm of the camp that Suzu is just a better pick most of the time

[lapis hornet]

suzu p cringe

[pallid veldt]

ngl

im a gnosis believer

[lapis hornet]

I'd rather not listen to her if I can help it

[craggy helm]

Yeah her kit has higher regen than skalter with slow and fragility. Hard to argue with that

[scarlet fulcrum]

My gnosus still e0

[pallid veldt]

my gnosis is s2m3 from the 5 minutes i thought i could do d15 knight with 98 sp relics and 5 freeze duration relics

[scarlet fulcrum]

[solid dew]

yea, definitly build greythroat a bit more.
but what other snipers/ranged ops do u have

[tropic valve]

gnosis can't skill if he's stunned (e.g. Ubi Bona Somnia), suzu still can

[lapis hornet]

gnosis was goated in sn, since then it's like idr a difference, I used both together when I was running ranged sss

[pallid veldt]

drafting suzu for ubi

when you can just draft the superior arts damage dealer

mostima

[tropic valve]

imagine having mostima

[pallid veldt]

mostima is actually such a goat in d15

[scarlet fulcrum]

SN just like handy aboose

[lapis hornet]

real talk does mosti p5 ever matter

[pallid veldt]

no

[lapis hornet]

I could use tokens to get her there

smh

[craggy helm]

I kinda wanna pull for moisty just for those niche clears

[pallid veldt]

it doesnt even matter in macks risik cee cee

[pallid veldt]

actually it does matter but

you can do it without

[lapis hornet]

yeah but cee cee fell off

[scarlet fulcrum]

My mostima still p3

[tropic valve]

nor does it matter in dee fivteen reliklis

[solid dew]

kroos, build kroos and kroos alter, they are both very good.
focus moreso on the 3* as she is cheap to level
krooster is more expensive but stronger

[pallid veldt]

hear me out

[tropic valve]

I recommend both Kroos

[pallid veldt]

the 3rd wolf in 3w1u

should be mostima

[scarlet fulcrum]

Also just retreat if u leak, that was wasted stamina

[tropic valve]

nani

[slate marten]

I have Adnachiel at max potential so how bout him

[slate marten]

I do

[solid dew]

kroos is just way better ngl. adnchiel cant really compare
but dont worry, youll get max pot kroos fairly quickly

[pallid veldt]

ngl i think id rather have e2 mostima than e2 horn in d15 past f3

horn is so good on f3 bosses though

[tropic valve]

they shine in different maps, Horn still better for territorial and WFU

[pallid veldt]

ok but are you winning wfu

[scarlet fulcrum]

Imperfect cube means u leaked, u cant lie to me

[tropic valve]

if it's not emergency and you have some spare life, yeah

[pallid veldt]

fair

[slate marten]

K I promoted her

[solid dew]

she will help a lot, but make sure to level her skill as well

[pallid veldt]

mostima just helps a lot when you lose control of some areas of the map

[tropic valve]

that's true

[pallid veldt]

or if theres like big enemy swarm and u dont know how to kill it

[tropic valve]

speaking of losing control, she helps for OOC

[pallid veldt]

true

[slate marten]

I did that to skill level 3

[pallid veldt]

shes pretty good on all the f5 stages

[scarlet fulcrum]

Best staller

[pallid veldt]

carries OOC and ubi

pretty solid in mech menace

for the drone waves

[slate marten]

I only did it once every other time I do

[pallid veldt]

can kill one side of knights in pipers

idrk what she does in faithfuls but faithfuls is easy as fuck anyways

[solid dew]

if you can get it higher at any point, go for it

[tropic valve]

doesn't help as much on the hardest F5 map: The Spread

[pallid veldt]

true

[slate marten]

Ye I just have to get more stuff to level

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah piper pretty crowded for her s3

[solid dew]

figured, gl anyway.

[slate marten]

Thanks

[pallid veldt]

ngl emergency pipers kinda hard

pozy unhaver

[scarlet fulcrum]

Atleast better than cursed pozy

[tropic valve]

Schwarz S2 map

[pallid veldt]

yeah i figured

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh wait typewriter not affected right?

[pallid veldt]

schwarz right side to kill broodmothers

right

[tropic valve]

yup

[scarlet fulcrum]

pogchamp

[pallid veldt]

sl7 dies of cringe

i should probably m6 my schwarz one of these days tbh

[tropic valve]

[pallid veldt]

pozy is not coming anytime soon

actually yeah fuck it ill do it now

i cant do modules

cause i have like 80k LMD

[tropic valve]

might as well start today

[scarlet fulcrum]

I m3d her s2 for blade tbh, but its actually good skill in general

[pallid veldt]

cant believe i cant use schwarz to train my schwarz

these are sad times

[scarlet fulcrum]

I planned s1 for arena 8, but dip in the end

[pallid veldt]

the propanganda is getting to me

[tropic valve]

who shaves the barber

[pallid veldt]

himself

except in this case it doesnt work

: (

[steady reef]

wait didnt u alr do this

for cc5

i coped right side schwarz2 rng for crabs

then ended up doing s1 LOL

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thought so

[steady reef]

man im now realising

all my m6s are useless outdated ops

[scarlet fulcrum]

yea same

[pallid veldt]

drails bro

i didnt own schwarz during cc5

i used rosm s3

like a gigachad

[steady reef]

"just use both"

[pallid veldt]

i got her in time for cc6 though

so that was cool

[slate marten]

Lavas slash clutched up so I won

[scarlet fulcrum]

Nice 👌

[slate marten]

There's only one banner to pull on should I just wait or pull on it

[scarlet fulcrum]

Save

Dont be tempted by next thighs too, wait for kirin yato

[slate marten]

When is that? 18

[scarlet fulcrum]

Estimated 1 month from now

[thick badger]

blemi is a bit niche and eyja is a bit replaceable, there have been better banners. next banner is maybe mostima and schwarz which are also niche and replaceable, save 100 pulls for yato, yato should come in 4 to 6 weeks

[scarlet fulcrum]

If no dead weeks

[slate marten]

Il try my best to wait

[thick badger]

willpower op

[tropic valve]

well, schwarz is not that niche if you like IS

[thick badger]

Ya2 is not only a very meta unit she also hot af

[tropic valve]

in fact not niche at all

but I do understand getting Ya2 is quite important

[thick badger]

oh the analogy was blemi and eyja are niche and replaceable, and so are mostima and schwarz in that order

[scarlet fulcrum]

As someone who used Provence often i can agree with that

[thick badger]

schwarz is not niche but she is replaceable

[lapis hornet]

what does yato do that's irreplaceable

[tropic valve]

she kills Pompeii really fast

[thick badger]

FRD super high burst physical dmg? we don't have that yet

[tropic valve]

and she offloads her damage almost immediately so she can be retreated for another round

[thick badger]

I mean there's guard skadi I guess

[pallid veldt]

if you really think about it

schwarz modX is FRD super high burst phys damage

[thick badger]

point is none of the current helidrop high burst physical dmg are really FRD, closest is guard skadi with modX 30sec redeploy time

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea if u believe enough

[thick badger]

yeah but that's a bit of coping

[scarlet fulcrum]

(I do)

[lapis hornet]

does it matter that your dmg is frd

[pallid veldt]

yes because how else can HG make the game even piss easier than it already is without putting everything thats broken on a 15 second timer

[sly drift]

Wtf you can place her every 16s
That's why frd is too strong

[scarlet fulcrum]

P4

[pallid veldt]

at this point mlynars module is just gonna make his chargeup 15 seconds or something

[scarlet fulcrum]

Or with SA

[lapis hornet]

does that mean mlynar already fall off cycle too long

[thick badger]

it does when u wanna do all the dmg as soon as possible, NTR and guard skadi need to stay longer on field and therefore are open to dying before unleashing full dmg potential, ya2 pisses on you and yo mama in 3 secs then disappears

[tropic valve]

unfortunately one of Schwarz' weaknesses is that she can still die in those 10 seconds

which is a problem when emergency pompeii melts everyone

[thick badger]

just bring NG

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah that map kinda

[tropic valve]

yes with NG that can be solved

[pallid veldt]

drafting NG is

questionable

[tropic valve]

main thing is her high Hope cost

[thick badger]

it is kinda sus, but not like there are so many good medic voucher targets, bar kal

[scarlet fulcrum]

Quite luxury in is3

[pallid veldt]

ptilo

[sly drift]

NG is like one of the best healer rn

[tropic valve]

Usually go with Kal and Ptilo for IS3, Mulberry for IS2

NG if doing Playwright

[thick badger]

IS2 ed4 is a bit too aids without NG but doable

[pallid veldt]

the first time i did IS2 ed4 i didnt realize i had gotten it

i was just farming for lvl 155

i had like all 3 ASPD ingot relics though so i was just rockin with +300 aspd or some shit

[scarlet fulcrum]

Isnt mul s2 only for phantom enjoyer?

[pallid veldt]

i have s1m3

but i think s2 is better

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah i can relate with pointblank mod

[sly drift]

Even with NG playwright ending is still hard af. The choice is you have to burst him on spawn or have Very sustain comp like healer with aspd relic

Fck I hate Playwright so much

[thick badger]

yeah, no kidding, thank gawd Pozy exists now

[pallid veldt]

yeah thank god pozy exists

[tropic valve]

he goes up to 2500-2800 DEF depending on your hard mode relic

which is very low DEF

[pallid veldt]

i have like 8 friends with p6 pozys though so theres that at least

half of them were bc they wanted to spark chalter

[lapis hornet]

isn't poz pretty bad?

35s cd that's more than twice a frd

[pallid veldt]

agree

kind of unplayable

[scarlet fulcrum]

S2 passive reduced her typewriter

But doubt normal ppl use it

[pallid veldt]

s2

[lapis hornet]

oh true

[pallid veldt]

pozy s2 pretty valid tbh

[thick badger]

y need pozy S3 for the most cancerous bosses tho

[lapis hornet]

but s2 doesn't do dmg I'm sure neb can make a viktor graph that shows how yato powercreeps it

[tropic valve]

I heard she can't even damage Last Knight, unfathomable!

[pallid veldt]

goldenglow truly meta

[scarlet fulcrum]

:ya:

[gentle finch]

lmao same

I died miserably

second time I just spawn killed boss with pozy and stat checked the rest of stage with abyssals

was probably the easiest boss fight

[pallid veldt]

i just fumbled though it

still won cause my relics were OP but

it was right after i came back so i didnt realize the expansion had already hit

[lapis hornet]

should I pull for skadi? so I can do AH combo

[pallid veldt]

skadi wher

[lapis hornet]

I can pick her with the has been banner in a few months right?

[pallid veldt]

true

[gentle finch]

very true

then yeah I would

[pallid veldt]

HG conveniently not including bag in the has been banner

[gentle finch]

if you don't care about rotting your brain

since abyssals makes a lot of stuff easy

especially if you run them in a full squad

[full finch]

abyssal hunters costs too many module blocks smh

[gentle finch]

broke

wtf new pfp

[full finch]

yeah

it's just noir corne though

[thick badger]

AH is the most broken faction but will also leave ur resources bank the most broken as well

[pallid veldt]

🅱️ollistrea

[gentle finch]

real

I barely do mod3s so I still have some module blocks

when the new is3 expansion drops we can get more

[lapis hornet]

old xolli was a rich man, new pfp xolli a geezer constantly reminiscing about the good ol times back when he had module blocks

[pallid veldt]

at this point i am unironically getting LMD gated from modules

[gentle finch]

so true

[gentle finch]

ain't no way

[pallid veldt]

i literally have 80k LMD

[gentle finch]

I am getting trust gated (I don't trust farm)

[lapis hornet]

I literally ran out of mango/durian after a modding spree lol

[gentle finch]

all the mods I plan on getting aren't even released yet

besides Nian

[pallid veldt]

i have a couple mods i want that i havent done yet

like guard chen mod3

also maybe one of the pioneer mods

i dont wanna do both saga and flame cause i use neither

but one of them is probably cool

[gentle finch]

my only 6* vg is bag

[full finch]

wtf

[gentle finch]

I'll have to mod Texas since hers is good

[pallid veldt]

i did texas mod3 without realizing her mod past lvl 1 is like

complete worthless dogshit

[gentle finch]

lmfao

[full finch]

mod2 is +5% ATK and mod3 is +3% ATK

[scarlet fulcrum]

U skipped sexas event?

[gentle finch]

skull

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ye

[gentle finch]

no

why'd you ask

[scarlet fulcrum]

Related to bag only 6*

[gentle finch]

lmao

[full finch]

[gentle finch]

I just never pulled another 6* vg

I tried to get saileach but

I got offbanner bagpipe

💀

[full finch]

sail kinda good ngl

[pallid veldt]

dude wtf

thats such a W

i would kill to get an offbanner bagpipe

[gentle finch]

low-key

[full finch]

been enjoying sail S3 recently

[pallid veldt]

yknow ive never pulled or recruited a bag

ever

[gentle finch]

thats sad

[lapis hornet]

how can you play with out 6* vanguards

[full finch]

imagine not getting 10 morbillion offbanner bagpipes

[lapis hornet]

don't tell me you're using myrtle like dem poor ppl

[gentle finch]

abuse flagpipe

sob

[pallid veldt]

my bagpipe is suffering at p4

[gentle finch]

this is why I'm pulling for Ines

I used her a lot on CN

[lapis hornet]

just use tokens bro

it's not that hard

[pallid veldt]

ive used every 6* VG token

in the game

[lapis hornet]

buy more

it's only 540 certs

[pallid veldt]

true

[thick badger]

myrtle alone is about all the DP a new account might need anyway, myrtle courier ez opener up to ch9

[gentle finch]

courier

skull

[full finch]

lol

[gentle finch]

I should max my Zima

she's cute

[slate marten]

Worth?

[scarlet fulcrum]

ngl i used fang in alt

[gentle finch]

yeah if you plan to spend money

it's the best bang for buck

the extra sanity pots especially are nice

[thick badger]

that's the best deal in the shop by a long shot, and always will be

[scarlet fulcrum]

Most efficient way to spend ur money in ak

[celest solstice]

So I've been doing Siesta and at around 250 theres a drone that gets through my base through the middle, should I just not use kroos and use Reed Alter in that position

below chalter pos

[scarlet fulcrum]

U are fine with kroos till 300

[celest solstice]

no

I am not fine

I get 1 drone leak

the one that goes through the middle

[scarlet fulcrum]

Activate chalter skill

Use penance reflect

Use sa helidrop

[keen mortar]

I think this one might be a little too hard I mean the dp might not look so good with the provided squad

[scarlet fulcrum]

Idk man u have dozen option here

[celest solstice]

I place SA below penance

cause if otherwise I leak

Ill try to time my chalter skill again

[scarlet fulcrum]

Top drone always stay for a while

While bott drone zig zag without stopping

[keen mortar]

You have it hard sasuga ainz sama

[celest solstice]

thank you for complimenting my overlord

Im at 300, replace kroos with reed alter now?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Wait

[lavish snow]

Leak 💀

[scarlet fulcrum]

Till 350

[celest solstice]

sure

[celest solstice]

not leak

destroyed bases

[full finch]

yeah

losing lives is fine as long as you kill all the enemies and don't die

[celest solstice]

at 350 now

[full finch]

actually dying is also fine as long as you kill all the enemies

[celest solstice]

replace?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ofc

[celest solstice]

reed alter facing down or right?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Help ur blocker

[lavish snow]

OK, base destroy mean less unit limit only?

[celest solstice]

kk

[celest solstice]

nope

just less lives

[gentle finch]

🙂

[scarlet fulcrum]

Enemies oustide kill counts finr to leak, like sleeping robot, od tumor, "driver "on DH, apply in annihilation

Civies just special case

And they are counted before anything else

[full finch]

civs reaching the blue box count as a kill

so them dying beforehand robs you of that kill

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea

[full finch]

in short, the ursus army is KS you

[celest solstice]

thank you for your guidance on this anni

time for another anni

after i see her gun i think its time to build r6s

[cinder pike]

R6S building is abit cope

[turbid badge]

nah

tachanka,blitz

frost can be put off later

im almost dont w tachanka anyways, just need to do Blitz

[cinder pike]

tachanka has quite low damage, which means he gets extra screwed by def

[glass monolith]

Well depending on event she can be BEST unit or "WHY YOU ATTACK SANDBAGS I AM DYING"

[turbid badge]

true but like tachanka buff army is stronkkksk basically the fastest, true he’s underwhelming by himeself but i can justify building him cuz hes coo

[turbid badge]

this event she

Hits the pottery kek

[cinder pike]

ok, I agree tachanka buff army is fun but anyone with buff army is crazy

[turbid badge]

fair, tachanka just dishes his damage out really fast so thats why i like him too bad his module isnt that good

[cinder pike]

I agree but still keep in mind that he is still abit cope

[turbid badge]

waow u pot 6

wtfart

[cinder pike]

it was a free unit

event operator

[turbid badge]

Oh wait i totally forgot tachanka was free💀 holy sht i need sleep

Oh nvm

[flat sapphire]

It has lin

[glass monolith]

New auto, to update old auto which uh... I forgot how many operators it had

[flat sapphire]

Minus no ling? Could use trust farm ops to kill first couple enemies then she soloes the rest

[glass monolith]

I against usage of Ling

[flat sapphire]

Inefficient trust farm smh

[glass monolith]

Spoils the experience for me

[flat sapphire]

Bruh it's for trust farm autoing

What experience lol

[turbid badge]

inefficentt

[glass monolith]

If you think that's inefficient you haven't seen my Factorio

[foggy grove]

ling is slow

i'm not trust farming the whole squad so just fast run and plop a few

[strong sparrow]

quick question:

conviction s2 looks rly bad, dont tell me its actually rly good?

[glass monolith]

Operator was released on first April

Need more information?

[strong sparrow]

lmao thanks

[flat sapphire]

The enemies are time gated tho? Ling s3 deletes fragments too

[turbid badge]

No u never use that

[glass monolith]

I have Cantabile so "How you going to afford it " is not an issue

[turbid badge]

And if u want to stun ur team CN has eureka now

[glass monolith]

Eureka at least guarantee stun

and people somehow abused it

[turbid badge]

is3, stalling enemies so ur op can charge sp, stalling enemy for talent like mr Notjing, there alot of ways Yea XD

the stins like 7.5 secs

[tidal sedge]

Should I build Kokodayo for the stun rng

[turbid badge]

shes a good sniper

kinda sad u missed out since u didnt build her when alter missions where out

[tidal sedge]

Does she screams Kokodayo every second like her og from

[turbid badge]

No she says

Uhh

i forgot💀 but no she doesnt scream kokodaya

[merry narwhal]

no, she says "buh-bye"

[tidal sedge]

Yeah I missed out on those and Skin vouchers entirely

Only got Texas' alter mission rewards

[copper rune]

Horn S1 and mud S2 I assume

[lapis hornet]

saria with blaze

[foggy grove]

yeah

[lapis hornet]

I actually never use gg s2

windup too long vs eyja s2

funny cause it was the main reason why I pulled her

[copper rune]

Still wondering if I should buy Eyja from shop but I don't have Thorns

[lucid mirage]

Skalter is your lord and saviour for afk.

[copper rune]

Don't have her either

I wish I did

[lapis hornet]

limited yeah

[copper rune]

The only support I ever borrow

[lucid mirage]

Spark her.

[copper rune]

Yeah just 300 pulls no biggie

[lucid mirage]

No seriously. If you're planning on being dedicated to afknights, spark skalter.

[keen night]

Skalter is that good?

Huh

[lapis hornet]

idk if eyja is all that for afk anyway, most of the time I use dusk idk if you have

[keen night]

Isint she just a medic that constantly heals?

[copper rune]

She buffs atk and def

Ur units are nearly immortal

[keen night]

Wait what

[lucid mirage]

She's getting removed from spark shop soon.

[copper rune]

And she can heal operators like mudrock

[latent monolith]

No

[keen night]

I didnt know that-

[latent monolith]

Where did you hear that from

[keen night]

[foggy grove]

i didn't know either

[lucid mirage]

Oh wait, W wasn't taken out. Just had her rate lowered.

[lapis hornet]

yeah

[keen night]

I jus-

I just played the game for like 1 month plus only

😭

[lapis hornet]

nowadays hoshi p nice for afk too

[lucid mirage]

Eh. Still. Just save your pulls and spark skalter. She's pretty much your one true god for afknights. She gives you a lot more options thanks to her buffs.

[copper rune]

Also skadi alter is a supporter not a medic

Kinda no window to save that many pulls tbh

[latent monolith]

I don't find that skalter makes enough of a difference to be worth sparking

[copper rune]

Yato coming soon

[latent monolith]

no limited does

[graceful mason]

Anyone have a maxed out m3 eyjafjalla skill 3? Need her for annihilation

[latent monolith]

Any stage where she actually helps an already good afk setup will be a stage that you aren't farming anyways

[lapis hornet]

yato no afk why even pull smh

[copper rune]

Hey just because I wanna afk some stuff doesnt mean I wanna afk all of it

[lucid mirage]

Heretic. Disappointment.

[latent monolith]

technically the gods of lowstep are like horn S1 and mud S2

skalter ranks pretty low

[lapis hornet]

blaze godlike in low step

horn s1 is like, bit more map dependent

[latent monolith]

In arkrec general lowstep lee ranks higher than skalter

Although it depends on the exact conditions ig

[foggy grove]

if you are optimizing,skalter is prolly the first you drop

[latent monolith]

But yeah skalter is by no means necessary for afk much less worth a spark

[copper rune]

The main reason I like skalter so much is that for harder stages she reduces the difficulty a lot by herself

[lapis hornet]

depends what type of player you are

[copper rune]

Stat buffs op

[latent monolith]

Harder stages you can always borrow

do you want to spend 300 pulls

that's the question

[lapis hornet]

personally I love skalter for making forgotten units playable, but for the metaslave she almost never make top.tier units even better

at least nowadays

[foggy grove]

i sparked skalter to cope chungus

[latent monolith]

I cope chungus without skalter just fine

[graceful mason]

Anyone have a maxed out m3 eyjafjalla skill 3? Need her for annihilation

[lapis hornet]

which anni

[graceful mason]

research base hunger.

[lapis hornet]

you can try #friend-id

[graceful mason]

*hanger

[lapis hornet]

what's that, newest one?

huh wouldn't have thought of eyja as my first borrow

lemme see if I have a spot on my alt

[graceful mason]

That would be fantastic, thanks. Though I don't have a good aoe caster, that's why I need her.

Beat everything but the final wave, need just a bit more dmg and health and I'll be golden.

[lapis hornet]

what's your id?

[graceful mason]

Cypher#4658

[lapis hornet]

sent, glhf

[graceful mason]

Thanks a bunch mate, really appreciated!

[round wharf]

the lingering shangshu trails innaliation. im having a hard time and asking if Aosta and ethan damage per sec. can both stack on each other? because ethan is art and Aosta is physical

[lucid mirage]

Separate dot sources can stack.

Dot from same source just refreshes duration.

Except Puzzle s2, which can stack with itself.

[round wharf]

ah ok

[lucid mirage]

Also, Aosta dot is arts.

I don't think we even have phys Dot. And considering how def works, that's for the best.

[glass monolith]

there won't be physical dot because how defense works in this game. Res reduce arts dot by percent. True is True (bleed tiles). How you reduce flat def from physical dot without breaking game

[gritty eagle]

i didnt know that IW-EX-8 CM was just a dps check

all i had to do was sutr+ pozy + kaltsit + mlynar + texasalter and it worked well

[gleaming lodge]

man discovers bosses in Arknights
AKO, 2023, colourized

[gritty eagle]

well no, its because the previous bosses had some sort of gimmick

like eblana having a stupid ass shield

[gleaming lodge]

?

[gritty eagle]

maybe its just me cuz this is a old event from like last year

[gleaming lodge]

the shield was just some more HP that needed a little bit more total damage to delete

[gritty eagle]

this was just event is part of the pre-mlynar world

[gleaming lodge]

No, Sui is one of the most complex boss

[gritty eagle]

really..?

huh am i just stupid

[sour mantle]

All bosses are just burst check

[gritty eagle]

[gleaming lodge]

if we consider "complex" to be proportional to their description length

the entire game is a burst check

[gritty eagle]

well i guess im wrong but im just saying like this felt easier than ya

[sour mantle]

The timer mechanic of Sui-Chan makes it like evident, but for example, 'Ya' was also burst check, the more time it was on the field the more tiles where spawners.

[gleaming lodge]

wut ?

Ya's map was a bit weird

and she was flying in p2

but you can definitely burst her

in fact, you should

[gritty eagle]

yeah i guess

actually maybe you just proved how dumb i am becuase i just realized i used pozy + mlynar for them

[gleaming lodge]

Pozy + Mlynar should make quick work of YA

[gritty eagle]

mm yes, i was surprised how hard CM was compared to normal in ex-8 for vermeil winds

[sour mantle]

Eblana was more burst between shield phase, else she put on her shield and it's annoying to deal more damage (or True damages enjoying)

[gleaming lodge]

Eblana dealt 0 damage honestly

just stall

[glass monolith]

To be fair man discovers boss one can't stall for 40 minutes

[gleaming lodge]

nyooooooo

my stall

[sour mantle]

[turbid badge]

lol sui boss Cant see ma invisible camo

[gleaming lodge]

yeah
Lunacub and FW S1 are funny here

[sour mantle]

Lasers can hit through camo/invi iirc ?

[gleaming lodge]

yes they can

only the first hit though iirc

or something like that

it's a bit weird

https://youtu.be/_-xFWx22hpI

[sour mantle]

yup, it was just to precise that those mechanics aren't like 100% invulnerable auto-win

[glass monolith]

I did hyperbuffed Kokodayo for WD-9. Not enough copium to outstat EX-8 in single Kroos dps within Heavyrain 🧀 window

[scarlet fulcrum]

They should change the title to FW really goodshit with module

[turbid badge]

reed alter s3

faming

[scarlet fulcrum]

feels baited tbh

[lucid mirage]

@sinful flame

[sly drift]

There was a time I tried Lunacub M3 and think that she might be very good *5 and probably one of the best *5.

And then I try Andreana M3

[sour mantle]

There are same archetype but not same exact role, Andreana works to damage but not kill, Lunacub to be sneaky past enemies line and dealing decent (?) damages

[sly drift]

Andreana will do the same thing and have 5k atk with asp near fast as Lunacub

Even stronger with AH

Andreana AH is basically *6

[molten temple]

im here

[molten temple]

i need help annihalation w these pls 😭

[sly drift]

What Anni

[tidal sedge]

So chat confusion is new to this game and he need help to beat annil 1

[molten temple]

first one

[high crest]

Chernobog

[tidal sedge]

Confusion u have Shaw?

[molten temple]

i think so

im have no more to level tho

[tidal sedge]

So the above lane has some hole for u to use.

[molten temple]

is that a good thing?

[tidal sedge]

U put shaw first as the pusher

U can push the big shield dude on the hole

Skill leve 4 is enough

So u have any medic beside silence?

[molten temple]

sussaro

sussuro

also i think perfumer?

[tidal sedge]

Note: when u deploy make sure u the last one u deploy is a defender so the caster on top won’t shoot Shaw

[tidal sedge]

Perfumer can heal both lane so more healing increase survivability

Confusion do u have any Aoe caster?

[molten temple]

Not sure

[tidal sedge]

12F Lava Gitano any of those u have?

[molten temple]

i think i got 12F for free

also got lava

[tidal sedge]

Good

Any core defender?

[molten temple]

i got haze and greyy but idk if it is aoe

[molten temple]

can state examples

[tidal sedge]

Beagle?

U must have spot right?

[molten temple]

Heree 🙂

[tidal sedge]

Ok

[molten temple]

I have beagle yes

Firewhistle is defender

Matterhorn

Cardigan

Noir corne

[tidal sedge]

Firewhistle is fortress defender

[molten temple]

none of i said is core besides beagle?

[tidal sedge]

Well it also can be healing defender too for more healing.

[molten temple]

woww

so i use beagle, shaw, sussuro,scavenger, lava, 12F, silence, fang?

[tidal sedge]

Add in a sniper too to deal with drone.

[molten temple]

meteor?

[tidal sedge]

How about Kroo?

[molten temple]

Jessica, pinecone

[molten temple]

okk

i have kroo

beagle, shaw sussuro scangenger laval 12f silence and fanf

[tidal sedge]

Yes

[molten temple]

[tidal sedge]

Yes

[molten temple]

nice

uhh

[tidal sedge]

There u go

[molten temple]

where u want me to place?

scavenger

[tidal sedge]

Near the blue box on the right

Fang right next to scvanger

[turbid badge]

that map honestly is really easy

u can clear with pretty low levels just be careful of the casters

[tidal sedge]

He is new Dokutah

[turbid badge]

nah u can clear with like e0 lvl 1 tbh

[molten temple]

im srry?

[turbid badge]

Nah im just saying XD i can find some placements

[gritty eagle]

mfs when they've never played the game before and doesn't fully grasp a operator's ability cant clear the level with e-1203213 ops and sl0 skills

[molten temple]

like 2 steps straight from the blue box ok?

[gritty eagle]

just help them dude, you aren't helping much when youre like "well you can clear this realy easily with this operator at like level 0, its so fucking easy dude"

[tidal sedge]

Yes

[molten temple]

okk where i place shaw?

[tidal sedge]

Near the red box on the right

[turbid badge]

why are u using shaw?

[tidal sedge]

This is low rarity one

[turbid badge]

this is cherbonog?

oh ur using top holes

u need sl4

For shaw yea

[molten temple]

i leveled it up

to that

i think?

[turbid badge]

Ok good

[tidal sedge]

Yes

[molten temple]

took everything tho xd

[molten temple]

do i place shaw the one directly beside red box or

the box across the one im talking abt

[molten temple]

the thing in the middle of the U shaped boxes

[turbid badge]

have u tried the map yet

[molten temple]

i did

i didnt know what a hole is

[turbid badge]

when did u struggle at?

[molten temple]

my best is 64 kills i was using the wrong things

[turbid badge]

ohh

[molten temple]

they uhh stacked up and since i was using expensive things

[turbid badge]

[molten temple]

i have plume btw

it hink i missed him

😭

[tidal sedge]

Plume is a girl

[molten temple]

im srry

[tidal sedge]

Abit distance

[molten temple]

huh

[tidal sedge]

U see the red one on the picture I sent.

[molten temple]

yeah

[turbid badge]

instead of using 12f u can use lava

[tidal sedge]

That the hole

[tidal sedge]

Not that one

[molten temple]

is this hole?

[tidal sedge]

Above

[molten temple]

OH

[sinful flame]

Think of splitting your squad into two teams to cover both boxes. Each should have at least 1 blocker, 1 or 2 ranged DPS (one of which should be a caster up top), and a healer. Plus 1 or 2 vanguards to stay down to make DP so you have enough for the later waves, and 1 or 2 reserve operators for putting down to plug leaks and cover incase someone dies.

[molten temple]

@tidal sedge

[molten temple]

oh

i dont think i have enough opps but ill think of sumn

[sinful flame]

Surely you have at least 12 operator in your roster?

[molten temple]

ofc

wait wdym roster

u mean squad?

[molten temple]

this my squad

[sinful flame]

No your whole roster. Like when you tap the "operators" button and you see everyone you have.

[molten temple]

9 only

[tidal sedge]

Can someone use PRTS map?

[molten temple]

more than 12

but idk what to bring

well ik

now

azusa told me

[tidal sedge]

There is PRTS map website which u can deploy op in the map

[sinful flame]

If I wasn't out right now I'd get it up to show deployment suggestions. But I don't want to overwhelm them by showing something different to the strat you're showing them.

[turbid badge]

https://map.ark-nights.com

[tidal sedge]

I don’t bring my laptop here

[molten temple]

i dont understand 🥹 different language

[sullen rover]

there is a language option you can set to english

[tidal sedge]

Look at on the right bar language one change it into English.

Lemme go get the PRTS map later

[tidal sedge]

when u see Crownslayer block him retreat Kroo and place Amiya in it

[green rivet]

Is there any clear of IW-9 with only 3 stars?

[sinful flame]

I'd be surprised if there is any because of the time limit on the stage. 3 stars only would rely on a lot of stalling and healing.

[tidal sedge]

IW9 how are we gonna stall the dragon we have onky 9 minutes

[cosmic thicket]

Not pure 3* only but close enough? https://youtu.be/3lq0niG9Qpw

[turbid badge]

dobberdig

[green rivet]

That is indeed the closest to a 3☆ only i've seen.Thank.

[sharp hollow]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO IW-EX-6 I FOLLOWED AND TRIED EVERY SINGLE TUTORIAL

[sullen rover]

operators?

[sharp hollow]

This is what im using

[sullen rover]

are these the only one whos built

[sullen rover]

youre doing cm right

[sharp hollow]

no

lol

ive tried like 10 different guides

for ex6

[sullen rover]

let me just test sth with a similar squad

[sharp hollow]

alr

[sullen rover]

this works i guess

might have to mald ethan bind a bit for bot lane

you can just use someone with fast aspd instead of myrtle

[sharp hollow]

mmmhm illl try

i dont think im placing them in the correct order

[sullen rover]

ehh i readjusted sth so deploy myrtle > exu > someone with fast atk like gravel > eyja > activate skill > kal and monster > gnosis facing right is better then ethan

eyja skill 3 again when all 3 halberd guy spawn and in her range

then just use gnosis skill when the spearhead enter ethan range so he has time to hit them

im using his s2 for that

[sharp hollow]

top part is not really the problem

bottom lane is fucking w me

[sullen rover]

eh is the halberd guy killing mon3tr

[sharp hollow]

the fire knight things?

yeah those

[sullen rover]

like whats ur problem with the bot lane

[sharp hollow]

when this dies

it leaves behind like 5 of those

like

flying spears???

and i cant kill on time

[sullen rover]

is ur ethan facing down?

[sharp hollow]

and sometimes this guy kills mon3tr before i can activate ult

[sharp hollow]

and yes

[sullen rover]

oh right my ethan is e1 sl7

uhh if you dont have problem with top then replace orchid with gravel and another op with fast aspd like jackie or sth in bot lane

[cursive mango]

trimmed medal done

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFIRtLyDTG4&t=206s followed this

[sullen rover]

looks sth like this now you can also rdp monster so his stun can proc at the 2nd sharpedge and let him get another hit in if you want

[fathom jay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l6Ia4zbyBI

[steep tartan]

blue woman

[fathom jay]

Blue woman 🤤

[tidal sedge]

Don’t addict to Blue Woman

[sharp hollow]

it

worked

but

i still leaked

bottom lane

only 1 of those

flying

spears

BRUH

its fine whatev

i cba to do this any longer

i cant keep doing ex6 for the sake of my sanity

[fathom jay]

Just watch the vid above. It's pretty tight on timings but the only hard part is the last 2 bros that attack together

[sharp hollow]

dont think i didnt try that already lol

i tried that like 3 times

[fathom jay]

Yeah well it requires good execution, but sure, if you're not having fun then it's not worth it

[cursive mango]

BLUE WOMAN

also now im penniless

[fathom jay]

Imo should've just placed mon3tr backwards so it would have more time to hit flying stuff

[light flame]

I sense a lack of ethan

[turbid badge]

arts dot

[sinful flame]

Mon3tr can hit air enemies?

[tidal sedge]

Bro what are u smoking XD?

[sinful flame]

#strategy message

[cursive mango]

im assuming you mean floaty plates

[sinful flame]

I thought I had somehow missed something crazy. I was certain he doesn't.

[fathom jay]

No need to assume, just read what that guy wrote (yes)

[neat skiff]

You're the one talking about "place Mon3tr backwards so it can hit flying stuff"

[fathom jay]

Yes, and that's a reply to someone else's message. Press on that message and read the context, it's not hard

[neat skiff]

I'm assuming you mean the unblockable tokens?

And not flying enemies?

[fathom jay]

Yup

[sinful flame]

That's what confused me. Those aren't flying enemies.

[fathom jay]

The guy called them 'flying spears', I just repeated it since he would understand it anyway. Anywho, the misunderstanding was cleared so I see no reason to continue this

[sullen rover]

yeah im unable to see how you would leak bot lane even without ethan facing down it still worked for me

[neat skiff]

Use a pusher like Shaw. All tokens weigh 0.

[turbid badge]

Yes he can

Well the stun can

[tidal sedge]

[turbid badge]

yea

my flint stalled a token

Lol

[tidal sedge]

What the hell is this

[neat skiff]

IS3

[tidal sedge]

Indeed

[fair pasture]

pretty sure not Walmart frostnova

but gravestone?

or faust

[tidal sedge]

For a second I thought RedBlade spawned

[gleaming lodge]

that's Gravestone

pretty tough boss

[tidal sedge]

[gleaming lodge]

basically it's Skullshaterer

[fair pasture]

hits hard +whole stage debuff

[latent monolith]

Half dp half atk half def etc iirc

[fair pasture]

better camp near blue box and get your vg ready

[gleaming lodge]

yeah

[fair pasture]

don’t drop in his face

[gleaming lodge]

but the boss has high RES

so you still need to use physical

[tidal sedge]

Never taking that node again

[gleaming lodge]

wonderland ?

it's funny but it's a gamble

[tidal sedge]

What if u win

It's not an actual ending right?

[gleaming lodge]

you go back to where you were

but with an extra 4 nodes cleared

so it gives quite a big buff

[tidal sedge]

High risk high rewards I guess

[gleaming lodge]

exctly yeah

[bold lance]

It's pretty free if you get Mephisto wannabe

[gleaming lodge]

I find it particularly difficult because there are 3 different bosses

and all of them do very different things

[gleaming lodge]

frostnova ?

you find it easy ??

[bold lance]

Mephisto

The crossbow guy

[gleaming lodge]

Faust is the crossbow guy

and it's still fairly hard

[bold lance]

Oops

[gleaming lodge]

hits for 7k arts or something ?

[fair pasture]

he’s the easiest but side note on high d his purple shots hit over 9k learned from cirno
and normal atk is 3k
but even in low d bait purple shot anyway

[gleaming lodge]

lmao

in d15 it's 8.8k arts

[bold lance]

Just bait

[fair pasture]

Mephisto was the white hair boy with Faust
other than ch8 birb

[turbid badge]

me pozy mlynar sred

gravestone

with suzu

[tropic valve]

yeah Faust is usually the easiest and Gravestone the hardest

however, Frostnova is the only one that can't be stunned, so that could change things if your squad has e.g. Gnosis

[waxen swan]

Wow the ice boss is immune to being frozen

[glass monolith]

It is Arknights. Everything is immune to everything unless it isn't and when it isn't immune fight turns into abuse

[turbid badge]

Fr

[thick badger]

And u have to trial and error to find out cause enemy sheets wont tell u shiit

[glass monolith]

CN got enemy info tab rework, it still tell barely any shit but already better

It tells enemy weight, hp seal on leak, and text got standardized so it is clear which abilities which phase of what possess

[tropic valve]

it's like, OBVIOUSLY when it says tears spawn near allies, it means 3x3 square containing the max number of allies centered on a ground tile, duh

[cinder pike]

I mean we have allot of enemies who do cross shaped aoe vs 8 surrounding tiles

[deft badger]

how do i get that girl?

[gentle finch]

which one

[glass monolith]

You don't, Mizuki ate her in IS3 ending 1

[gentle finch]

💀
