strategy

[near folio]

Early game plan is to hold middle with Chong + healer, activate skills for strikers, blemi hold bottom with a healer, spread ur dps against EB

[scarlet ledge]

u can even setup phase1 kill using eben mlynar

or stall phase 1

empty all enemy

[near folio]

Why Horn is great here

You can bait two dominions onto the same spot if you do a full load unleash from Horn S2 Overdrive

[scarlet ledge]

so with eben

[plucky flint]

Eben can already do that, but sure

The more the merrier

[scarlet ledge]

see fyril agreed

hello

[near folio]

Oh right he has Eben

Someone I dont have

[pearl musk]

I think with both the boss will be deleted

[plucky flint]

Heyya leite

[barren grotto]

LS-5 any idea?

[scarlet ledge]

@plucky flint https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/669489344658014208/1144551321136025690/Screenshot_20230825_163207.jpg

[hallow thorn]

who do i use to kill the chapter 8 drones

[gleaming lodge]

[scarlet ledge]

still love this mess

[plucky flint]

Are u trolling or legit asking

[gleaming lodge]

there ain't no way you're not clearing LS-5 with your eyes closed

[near folio]

Mlynar

[pearl musk]

This leaves you open to replies like just like your(gf, rl friends) etc

[gleaming lodge]

unless
you are not bringing any vanguards....

[barren grotto]

For real

[barren grotto]

I fail every time

[gleaming lodge]

where are your vanguards ?

[scarlet ledge]

true

where ur vg

[pearl musk]

In the van,guarding it

[gleaming lodge]

if you want to sh*tpost, go back to #off-topic

[plucky flint]

Me doing some shenanigans

[vernal lion]

more important question,
can you beat this stage vanguardless?

🤔

[scarlet ledge]

oh ash s3 buff

kek

[deft badger]

pozy if u want it the easy way...

[plucky flint]

Oh God not this one again

[gleaming lodge]

most certainly
but you need Mountain or other low cost stuff

[barren grotto]

Like this?

[plucky flint]

It's already easy way with his ops

[scarlet ledge]

bro

look at his fucking ops

[gleaming lodge]

ok mate
samle deal for you
if you want to troll, go back to #off-topic

[near folio]

Jesus I forgot how high the mods on this skill is

[barren grotto]

I'm not trolling

[scarlet ledge]

yes this is dumb

[plucky flint]

800% is

[scarlet ledge]

[scarlet ledge]

me when ash see a wall

[deft badger]

he did ask he got the answer, pozy deployable xD

[plucky flint]

Too bad it's only usable twice per deployment

Which is

[scarlet ledge]

i only use it for spawn camp clear

[gleaming lodge]

did you buy that account or something ?
do you want me to tell your exactly what you should bring, how you should deploy them, and when to press skills ??
even though you already have 8 E2 6*....

[near folio]

R6S rerun will add her -redeployment time mod Y

[plucky flint]

I'd rather have stun duration increase in her mody

[scarlet ledge]

true

[near folio]

Actually a semi-fast redeploy Ash would be funny

Flashbang spam

[gleaming lodge]

isn't her flashbang only on first deploy ?

[plucky flint]

Nope

[gleaming lodge]

also, that already exists, it's Sexas

[plucky flint]

But the initial 17 sp is

Which is kinda crinj if u redeploy her

[scarlet ledge]

fyril

[plucky flint]

Need to wait full 25 secs to use s2

[scarlet ledge]

i did that

on my end1 run

didmt get any specialist rec

i love rng shitting on me

[plucky flint]

Why not get krooster

[scarlet ledge]

not raised on main

[plucky flint]

[scarlet ledge]

real

[opal kiln]

ye

u generate 1 dp with each kill so as long as u can open it should be fine

[tidal sedge]

Why does every arknights player hates the Pursuer?

[opal kiln]

I don't

I think he's a cool boss but he has like 0 hp

[vernal lion]

I think he's a very good boss to pratice tho

[tidal sedge]

Hmm

Can I E2 Ch'en now?

The guard one, yes

[eager gate]

Eb is one of the best designed bosses by mechanics imo

[vernal lion]

https://youtu.be/itcAtYOodyY

[eager gate]

I assume people dislike him because farts manipulation takes some planning and thought
And people in this community only like it when 1 button solves boss

[vernal lion]

I didn't even nuke him in the past

[plucky flint]

Too bad the boss stats is like wet paper

But ye I agree his mechanics are interesting

[vernal lion]

he did have less def stat than armored caster in chap 8 too

[plucky flint]

He's the lowest def in DC 8 btw

[sharp mango]

[plucky flint]

Shiro jumpscare

[hallow thorn]

did it

[polar crane]

that's the whole map cover in fart

congrat

[latent anvil]

13 ops

[vernal lion]

dw you will meet him again

[polar crane]

in tfn

[latent anvil]

@vernal lion not scuff (look in blue box)

[vernal lion]

and IS4 too

[polar crane]

I didnt play is4

[deft badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8VPfBOSMSw

[vernal lion]

you didn't even use Conviction

[latent anvil]

I did

[vernal lion]

oh -8 DP

[latent anvil]

[glass monolith]

did d9 in is3.... damn scaling gets crazy

I won't have enough mentality to weedy cheese ending 1, need to build Erato

[vernal lion]

you just need Horn

[high crest]

In TF2?! Fr?

[polar crane]

frfr

[high crest]

Dammit

I've had enough of his shit...

[glass monolith]

Where tree punching event

[upbeat plover]

i want my farming event already

[high crest]

Tree punching event?

[vernal lion]

minecraft event lol

[hardy fog]

can i do JT8-3

[sour mantle]

Pretty sure you can 3 star with a roster like this.

[eager gate]

Does Irene kill Eb faster that he can fart wipe her?

Well guess I'm trying

[sour mantle]

Good question, need to try, Chen works well because of i-frames, I feel like Irene will be nuked by fart, but not sure

[cyan gorge]

EB is levitate immune so yeah Irene dies

maybe if she was warf buffed

[cyan gorge]

Easily

just borrow Nightingale and win

[hardy fog]

with that characters i still can clear it?

then I'll just find a nightingale player

[near folio]

Maybe EB cant drop the fart crystals in the air

[cyan gorge]

You can always check #friend-id

[hardy fog]

alright

[glass monolith]

Skill issue. Add Sora S2

[eager gate]

My gun bird is mod1 but I don't think mere 5% will solve anything

[cyan gorge]

[latent monolith]

Use NG S3

[eager gate]

Irene actually killed him when I forgot to remove Andreana and she shot him like a few times

Like 2-3 hits of 4.4k no biggie

[sour mantle]

To resume : Chen > Irene against EB

[eager gate]

What happens if you let Fiammeta shoot the s2 and retreat her asap? Will the skill finish itself or cancel?

[merry narwhal]

try it out?

[heady hedge]

no

[deft badger]

i know i did ask last week but whats that thing again?
2 weeks ago more like...

[heady hedge]

stainless s3 turret

[deft badger]

never saw him on a banner

[fluid sail]

stainless had a banner with ch 11 release

[surreal star]

sounds like a you problem

[glass monolith]

I got Stainless in 1, fiting compensation after spending 111 ON FIA

[deft badger]

seems like a cool op anyway, spend 10min reading what he can do

[high crest]

He's in the front that was also if I'm correct with saileach and horn

[glass monolith]

But did you read about hiddent talent of his turrets?

[peak cloak]

quite hard for first clearing but doable, as first , what u should do is learn about Talulah's attack patterns. when u know what she is going to do to k.o your ops, u will have more ideas how to beat her.

fun fact tho,talulah can be soloed with texas alter fully built s2 and module.

+u have Pozy, well known bosses killer. if u had like s3m3 pozy and maybe a mod 1, your dmg would be enough for 2 phases of Talulah.

but also also prepare 2 fast redeploy to bait every 10s or 15sec (Silver Ash's talent would help u a lots). but as if u could kill her fast , not a problem at all.

however to make the stragety with pozy works, that u should bring nightingale (her phantoms can stall) and Burst healing medic like Sussurro and Warfarin with s1.

Mon3tr can be a staller just fine, but need Kal'tsit with s2 and at least a m3 (cuz 8 sp).

the images below was about how i clear jt8-3 with Kal'tsit and Pozy. 2 phases of Talulah included, first image=first phase.

symbols:

a red arrow stands for Pozy

a red circle with arrow stands for typewritter

a red square stands for Kal'tsit and a triangle stands for Mon3tr.

funny thing: i reset this stage for 16 times.

[full finch]

holy wall of text

[latent anvil]

[peak cloak]

and there are so many tactics that works with 3-4-5-6 ops, but u rlly need to know what u will have to do and have strong ops in quality and quantity.

[full finch]

lotsa ways to do JT8-3

I think I did 4 op with mlynar gav ptilo saria a while back?

kinda fun

[latent anvil]

Thorns saria ng silverash

[full finch]

ng user

[peak cloak]

she is quite useful in this stage

[full finch]

cooldown too long
can't nuke black snake

[high crest]

Does the fire inflict res?

[full finch]

just damage

wait do you mean fire waves or DoT

fire waves are arts damage

[high crest]

Fire waves

Ahh ok that's why

[peak cloak]

thats why Ng has her own stand but if u deploy like 4-5 medic or less, u dont need ng anymore XD

[high crest]

4-5 medic?! Bruh...

[latent anvil]

I gonna go do it without her now

[full finch]

I mean

you can also do like

purestream solo

or whisperrain solo medic

status res does work

[gentle finch]

gladiia skadi Spalter works too

😼

[full finch]

abyssal hunters is simply the most cringe

literally a comp designed for lategame elitists

[gentle finch]

one man's cringe is another man's

uh

yeah

[turbid badge]

Trash

[pallid veldt]

AH is kinda just

Cringe

[glass monolith]

YOU CRINGE

[tropic valve]

Abyssals have really strong ground units, their main weakness is that Andreana is their only ranged DPS

and Andreana does tons of damage...sometimes

[plain reef]

andreana s1 is pretty good in ah squad

[turbid badge]

Just use s1

[turbid badge]

yea it really is

[raven tapir]

I’m working on 9-19, idk what to do about the boss. I’m trying to knock out first phase before I knock down the, blocks ig, to finish her off second phase but I haven’t found anything that kills her fast enough before Surtr and Monster (the ones I’ve tried) die. What do I do?

I’ve also tried distracting her with Texas 2, she dies way to quick for it to be a big help

[turbid badge]

knock second phase

[raven tapir]

I can’t get her down to second phase

[turbid badge]

uhh

[raven tapir]

Surtr dies too quick

[turbid badge]

bait the lazer and kill With mlynar or soemthng

U can tank aswell

with guardmiya and 2 st medics

[raven tapir]

I don’t have either of those

[full finch]

phase 1 is pretty simple since the boss is ground

phase 2 is a bit more annoying but just rocc

[raven tapir]

What do I use to out sustain her damage

I don’t have good single target healers, I’m not counting kaltsit cuz she ignores other units if monster takes damage

[full finch]

wait you have aak

[raven tapir]

What do I do with aak?

[full finch]

if you borrow a mlynar, you can aak him and he'll sweep phase 1

just remember to prep a rocc for phase 2

[raven tapir]

Alr

[full finch]

should just be able to chalter + silverash phase 2 then

or whatever combo of burst you want

just remember to bury sand cat under a rocc first

[raven tapir]

Alr

[raven tapir]

Chalter?

[full finch]

ch'en the holungday

chen alter

chalter

[glass monolith]

standard issue content wiper

[full finch]

ranged tiles are kinda limited until roccs fall so might go with surtr + silverash for phase 2 instead

[raven tapir]

Ah I see

Alr

[full finch]

like so

roccs deal like 12000 true damage so like

they kill sand cat most of the way

also beware the gargoyles at the end

[lapis hornet]

wtf! you're only using 8 units on your squad!

[full finch]

just add more

[raven tapir]

lol

Cool

[glass monolith]

I recall stalling phase 1 for like 30 minutes on initial clear....
Now i have auto where hyper buffed Kokodayo alter despawns her

[gentle finch]

I did a surtr Saria S3 eyja S3 nuke on my first run

second phase was what took out my sanity

I don't remember exactly what I did

but in my later cm clear, I did an Exu + Warf shred for p2

you just need a bait

[tidal sedge]

Doing Heart of Surging Flame EX for OP.
EX-5 is messing with me.

[lucid mirage]

Jaye kills 1 pompeii solo. Even at e1.

Grab someone else for the 2nd pomepeii.

[plucky flint]

Wait wdym 2nd pompeii

[lucid mirage]

Maybe I'm thinking of some other OF ex stage.

[plucky flint]

Maybe you're thinking of is3 map

[sharp mango]

tbh I don't really thinks OF ex got a stage for 2 pompeii

is3 got water and fire union ye

[lucid mirage]

Nah, I'm certain there's a stage that sics 2 pompeiis on you in OF.

[plucky flint]

I don't think an early event as HoSF will fuck players with 2 pompeiis

[sharp mango]

at least rn player can just kill them easily

🤓

[turbid badge]

U mean fa-6?

[sharp mango]

man

of-ex-5 don't even had pompeii

[turbid badge]

of-8 and of-f4 only have 1 pompei

[sharp mango]

got baited hard L

[turbid badge]

even jaye paradox has a pompei

kek

[lucid mirage]

[scarlet ledge]

so pro

[lucid mirage]

Back then we had Ch'en, SA, Exu, Warf, Skadi, NG, Schwarz, Hellagur. In rerun they gave us Jaye and Thorns, Pompeii wasn't a challenge to begin with.

[cyan gorge]

Been so long since I did OF-ex5, probably should check my replay

[somber falcon]

OF only had one pompeii

[gentle finch]

same

[lucid mirage]

Wait what's FA?

[gentle finch]

if I didn't borrow

[somber falcon]

Stories of afternoon stage

Surtr debut mini event

[lucid mirage]

Ah the mint event

I genuinely cannot remember any of those stages that I did almost 2 years ago.

[cyan gorge]

Man the me from 10 months ago was on something wild

[somber falcon]

Well it doesn't get rerun too

[gentle finch]

looks like your subconscious remembered though

[tidal sedge]

This map

[gentle finch]

I don't even have an autodeploy for it

oh the cm

[turbid badge]

kekw

[turbid badge]

what map is that

[cyan gorge]

OF EX5

[turbid badge]

oh

[tidal sedge]

CM specifically

[gentle finch]

-66% DP

regen

[tidal sedge]

Yeah

[cyan gorge]

Oh that's not that bad

just add more vgs

[lucid mirage]

Just bring more VGs no?

[turbid badge]

myrtle

[scarlet ledge]

u maybe thinking the side stories?

[lucid mirage]

I don't even know any more.

[tidal sedge]

Been using her but its still rough

[solid dew]

flagpipe eatin good

[gentle finch]

send pic of your built ops

sort by levels

[scarlet ledge]

@lucid mirage https://youtu.be/tnQsFTFuhAM?si=ZVIcEresEtYBBq0y

[somber falcon]

You have mountain there, wdym rough

[scarlet ledge]

here

[tidal sedge]

is melted by lava b4 i can put a healer down

[cyan gorge]

then bring another vg to get the medic out faster

[rose arrow]

lin s3 is true aoe right?

[cyan gorge]

Wait you have a whole Texalter

[tidal sedge]

Havent unlocked her module

[cyan gorge]

irrelevant

[tidal sedge]

I see

[dry skiff]

impressive

[gentle finch]

oh

blud has sexas

alright

Mountain bottom lane with eyja and a medic
top lane is lappland and silverash + a medic
Texas alter your mistakes and you win

open with myrtle

eyja on S2

the rest of slots are free

things to note

mountain doesn't need a medic straight off the bat

you can deploy eyja and medic later on

[cyan gorge]

Not as bad as I thought as it would be, just Tex the spiders
Pretend Kazemaru is Mountain

[somber falcon]

Don't put him near a fountain then

[dry skiff]

Really really really simple, literally just 4 OP
Significantly easier when u have 8 slots left
Forgot to SS the end but still easily won

Just Omertosa when u see the dudes with Purple swords

[lucid mirage]

Myrtle>Perfumer>courier

[turbid badge]

Phalanax caster basic attacks are true all aoe

[lucid mirage]

Lappland>Mountain>Eyjafjalla

Then drop Taxes to clean up the last spider and any casters and agents

[gentle finch]

surely Pallas = mountain

[turbid badge]

skinn

[gentle finch]

No

I like how we all did it differently

[dry skiff]

i like how all of us send the pics relatively the same time

[lucid mirage]

[lucid mirage]

I mean, iirc Pallas has a much higher ST dps than mountain when not blocking anything.

[tidal sedge]

Lol

[gentle finch]

surely that doesn't matter with eyja

But it's true that Pallas is just too good

[tidal sedge]

Got it. Thank y'all

[gentle finch]

nice

[tidal sedge]

👍

[gentle finch]

wait Qiubai in is3 is low-key not bad

[cyan gorge]

I've tried her as a start while doing deep investigations and it was actually fun

[gentle finch]

I tried on d15

I just died to mechanical menace but that was skill issue tbh

[pallid veldt]

Real

[cyan gorge]

Imagine not being hard stuck d13

[gentle finch]

I had SP battery

her S1 pretty much perma bound the shrimp guy on floor 3 boss stage

I couldn't kill the top guy so I safely leaked

help on faithfuls utopia was non trivial as well though that stage is just easy in general

6.5/10 tbh

[tropic valve]

I will try Qiubai at D15 at some point

but E0 for now due to resources

[cyan gorge]

Just borrow one

[tropic valve]

true

will be E1 though

imagine playing people squad

[gentle finch]

granted I did get herE2 on floor1

I didn't run guard squad

[coarse rivet]

What's the best way to complete 7-9?

I mean, what's one of the ways to complete 7-9.

[gentle finch]

whats 7-9 again

[sullen rover]

im pretty sure you just have lane holder for the yknow lanes and then gun down the middle dudes

[dry skiff]

if u can't deal with the dogs, mountain

[gentle finch]

insane image quality

[lucid mirage]

Mountain blocks off an entire lane on his own. Flametail/Saga with module can take the other lane.

Last lane just shove whoever really.

[gentle finch]

yea

hard to say what to do without seeing his ops though

but seems like he just asked for general advice

[weak gazelle]

this map huh
i advice thorns back then

[lucid mirage]

Eh. Dp cost and wind-up too high honestly. The map rushes you.

[weak gazelle]

no

[glass monolith]

Map is shit, bagpipe S2 to split pair of dogs at start then escalate it

[weak gazelle]

noir and fang can be dropped by the time dog rush left side

[lucid mirage]

Or... I could use mountain alone to handle either center or left lane, and grab someone else with the remaining DP.

[gentle finch]

so true

[dry skiff]

deploy fang first > block a dog > deploy noir block the other 2 > fang dies > left dog rush comes > deploy someone there > no DP for Thorns > when DP for thorns is enough noir dies and proceed to leak

fun experience with thorns

[weak gazelle]

something like this

[somber falcon]

mofu what're you on abt

[dry skiff]

oh
if u deploy thorns first then he can take care of the right
my mistake is deploying fang and noir first

[weak gazelle]

this should be enough for 7-9
just switch red with somebody for top right

[gentle finch]

the not maxed Ansel bothers me

[weak gazelle]

[cunning river]

Can someone give me a guide for the last map of the event?

I have no desire to deal with it

[gentle finch]

send your ops

sort by level

not the 12 man squad

[turbid badge]

just bait the farts

[cunning river]

That's kinda impossible with how the whole map is just hallways

[turbid badge]

u can just stall him

with a defender and a medic

and than get everything ready when everything else is done

and by defender i mean a low atk deffender

[heady hedge]

lvl 86

[cunning river]

I know how to beat him normally, but now he has a ton of adds and the fucking artillery drones

It is way harder

[turbid badge]

actually itll probably be better to stall with someone with 1 block

[cunning river]

And I just don't have the patience to do it myself

[turbid badge]

orr

Lancer u can borrow Firewatch s1

she literally ignores the mechanic

[cunning river]

Yeah, can't bother to figure out how to kill the drones faster on my own so I can do that pain in the ass fight

I straight up don't care enough about the game to do it

[turbid badge]

u have pozy

[flat sapphire]

Pozy deals with one drone and typewriter for the other

[turbid badge]

and texas

[cunning river]

Pozy doesn't have the range though

[flat sapphire]

Typewriter is also unaffected by fart

[flat sapphire]

She does with s3

[turbid badge]

s3 adds a tile

not a tile

i mean a

like one in the middle

[gentle finch]

@cunning river

is your ntrk s2m3

[cunning river]

Yes, I think

[gentle finch]

honestly you can just run skadi + ntrk+ sexas S2 if you wanna get real braindead

the rest of the stage is a cakewalk

[turbid badge]

yeaa

u have a bunch of frdp

Helidrops

[cunning river]

You say that but the drones are a pain in the ass

[turbid badge]

u can just spam

[turbid badge]

u have pozy

[gentle finch]

pozy handles them easily

[cunning river]

Also I can't see how this is gonna skip the smoke

[flat sapphire]

Bro drones are the last of ur worries lol

[gentle finch]

Look man

don't worry about the smoke

Just do it

[turbid badge]

u deploy them when the other one dies to the hp threshold

[cunning river]

Don't worry about the smoke they say

[gentle finch]

just don't drop all 3 at once

drop them one at a time

and if possible not on previous smoke tile

[cunning river]

That's exactly what I did and the boss still walked through the gate

[flat sapphire]

Typewriter is unaffected by smoke too so u can use it when he stops at the bottom

[gentle finch]

I'm telling you based off experience

i used an M1 skadi S2

and ntrk s2m3

as he first walks out use ntrk

after she dies drop skadi on the nearest non fart tile in his path

[cunning river]

Usually others experience never translates to results in this game

[gentle finch]

then he dies

unless it's cm

if it's cm you'll need onw extra source of dmg

for phase two it's literally the same sequence

you can even get in two skadi redeploys

and you have Texas alter as well

[flat sapphire]

If anything, this is a game where u can recreate other people's experiences pretty closely

[cunning river]

My Skadi is completely unbuilt, and I have zero mats

[gentle finch]

I can record if you want

I've got nothing better to do

[gentle finch]

you can borrow mine

[flat sapphire]

U can surtr as soon as he walks out of the red box and finish off with ntrk s2 or just drop texas2 a couple times

[gentle finch]

oh I forgot blud has surtr too

[turbid badge]

[flat sapphire]

He stops bottom left for a while so u can use typewriter and surtr/ntrk to finish off

[gentle finch]

does gav autos kill the two block guys easily

man Pallas is just so convenient

[turbid badge]

yeaaa

[gentle finch]

reliably deletes most stuff behind Saria

[turbid badge]

angelina best medic

[gentle finch]

she even last hit the boss

truly insane

[turbid badge]

so much smoke wtf!

[gentle finch]

don't worry it was all calculated

[flat sapphire]

The smoke rly isn't too bothersome as long as u kill the boss tbh

[gentle finch]

cleared cm in two tries

[flat sapphire]

Especially with mud and kal

[gentle finch]

first try was the mandatory practice plan

[cunning river]

Okay did it

[gentle finch]

nice

[turbid badge]

nice

[gentle finch]

lmao

[turbid badge]

wasnt hardwas it

[cunning river]

That wasn't as bad as I expected

[gentle finch]

yeah

[turbid badge]

wd ex 8

[cunning river]

I'm just used to expecting nonsense from this game at this point

[flat sapphire]

Wd ex 8 was way harder

[turbid badge]

i like using qiubai with indigo

[gentle finch]

ayo?

is the tech real

[flat sapphire]

Qiubai with harmonie

[gentle finch]

Qiubai with Magallan

[flat sapphire]

Harmonie s2 is 30 sec slow

At sl7

[turbid badge]

qoo boo binds, than indigo can charge her stacks!

and than indigo stacks help her bind

Than qiubai bind

kek

qiubai s1 expeirence

[timid acorn]

Harmonie is mspd reduction and doesn't trigger Qiubai's talent

[thick badger]

Decel binders, chain casters and Ethan are QB's best friends

She is unironically BUSTED on IS mode, a lot of relics make her the best lord for it

[lucid mirage]

Fun fact, Spinach and Pasta don't work on her S1 because the damage kicks in long after those 2 deactivate.

You'd have to reproc s1 just as the previous bind was about to end.

[thick badger]

Which is doable with SP relics

[lucid mirage]

You need to have it proc'd the exact second it's detonating.

[high crest]

Chongyue

[lucid mirage]

Too fast or too slow and the explosion won't get buffed.

[violet haven]

Indeed much better if using suzuran s2 m1

[cyan gorge]

Just Magallan s1

[coarse rivet]

I do have Projekt Red, but I haven't built her up yet, I couldn't find a use but I'm sure she is a use for some other situations.

this is why bagpipe S3 is superior

helidrop when it matters

not that it mattered

[sharp wadi]

Bag s3 has absurd def

[thick badger]

[coarse rivet]

I'd agree. The map is a pain in my ass. It's straight up rushing the player.

[weak gazelle]

nah i use red to borrow thorns
replacement for red are many for that map

[coarse rivet]

Understood.

[shrewd harness]

Just checking how #strategy currently at.

Bye

[turbid badge]

i thought melantha was qiubai when i was lookjng at is recruitment

[sly drift]

Melantha what

[misty egret]

Is qiubai worth investing in ? I already got thorns

[glass monolith]

Man it feels so good to finally build my roster during long waited dead week

QB do more arts damage, well you pulled her so live with it

[misty egret]

4 pot her, she looks good and her s3 also looks great

[glass monolith]

damn dude, we have literally MH collab and Mumu right around corner

[misty egret]

What are those ?

Monster Hunt ? Yato ?

[heady hedge]

thorns lol

fell off

[misty egret]

Good

Thats what you get for laughing at thorns

[heady hedge]

what

[stray hornet]

hes calling you thorns

which is actually true

[heady hedge]

shut up frazyn

i have your youtube channel

[lapis hornet]

who is this impostor

where's the real dest

[plucky flint]

Consumed by darkness

[pallid veldt]

⚫

[halcyon adder]

Quibai gets shit a lot cuz she doesn't have bazillion DMG and super survivability. She's actually really competent operator who gets really good with a support.

[glass monolith]

Gigachads who set goal to e2 entire roster and have niche for niche because niche celebrating

[deft badger]

people shit on ops like QB because they have to many standalone one-man-army shit in their roster

[cyan gorge]

QB is fun and pairs well with a lot of ops

[zealous token]

Which relics make her busted on IS?

[glass monolith]

Guard gain SP when attacking enemies is bullshit

[zealous token]

Yea that one's broken

[deft badger]

the thing that actually scares me is why do they give us so many ops that are good at dealing with a lot of enemies

like "scare" what do they plan on doing in the future 😄

[cyan gorge]

I wouldn't mind more events with hoards of mobs to kill

Reedic moment

[deft badger]

that's what i mean reed is good at dealing with a lot of them now QB

[cyan gorge]

That reminds me I tried QB in jungle SSS and it was ridiculously fun

with beacon

[glass monolith]

My inner sus alert still confused by lack of CC12 announce. Did EN forgot and JP already annoucne or what?

[sharp swallow]

Who are some good units that tank massive amounts arts damage or an extended period of time? (Or units that just dodge them like Amiya)

[glass monolith]

Just pick someone with alot of HP and spam Nightingale S3

[bold lance]

Nightingale makes all your units do that

[sharp swallow]

I’m trying out the challenge mode of the JT8-3

Would beating a challenge mode borrowing still give you everything?

[bold lance]

Yes

[sharp swallow]

Praise Jesus

[cyan gorge]

Isn't the CM condition of JT8-3 making the exploding buds stronger? Should be easy if you burst boss phase 2 fast enough

[soft crystal]

Qb is very cool in is3 until you fight bosses with 70/90 res

[ancient hearth]

you get filtered out by the ball throwers first

[glass monolith]

I personally is filtered by floor 3 wonderland

[cunning river]

I'm trying the challenge mode stage and EG is throwing the smoke to my units on the other side of the map

[hazy elk]

are there any fun ops to build for is3? i was thinking of building my stainless but i wasnt sure how good he would be

[cyan gorge]

Depends on what you consider "fun"
Personally I've been having fun with using Deepcolor, May, Kazemaru, and Qiubai
can't say anything about Stainless cause I never got him
I hear he's decent

[cunning river]

So about that challenge stage

[cyan gorge]

Idk it feels like EB targets the highest atk

It targetted my Penance on the opposite corner once

otherwise it goes for Warfarin post buff

[glass monolith]

Deploy order outside of farts on map

[cyan gorge]

Even then that doesn't make sense

Penance was like the second one down on the map out of 4

unless I'm remembering something wrong

[cunning river]

Yeah, I don't know what the rules are for this

It just seems completely arbitrary

I am pretty sure it didn't do this on WD

[cyan gorge]

If it's last deployed, then just use Gravel

[cunning river]

That's the thing, it just dumps it wherever if the one attacking him is still alive and outside of the shadow

It's weird

It's like they added an extra mechanic and forgot to tell you in the description

[turbid badge]

abuse invis

[thick badger]

Sounds kinda sus. The wave's pressure is light enough to hold with very few operators u can just let EB nuke ur first batch of deployed ops and deploy the rest after the nuke

[cunning river]

I guess I could retreat everyone once there's no one else

But still, they had to make a passable figth into yet another annoying one

The worst part, as always, is the stupid challenge penalty

It is so damn stupid istfg

[cyan gorge]

Idk I didn't find it that bad

probably cause Ch'en abuse

[cunning river]

Man this game has just been going downhill for a while

[cyan gorge]

Haven't you been saying that for months?

[cunning river]

If I hadn't spent so long on it, I would've dropped it completely a while ago

I barely log in anymore tbh

[cyan gorge]

Not every boss needs to be "dps go brrr to win"

[cunning river]

But sunk cost fallacy is strong

[cunning river]

I get that, but the way they go about it tends to be more annoying than fun to fight

I've gone on record saying that I think HG's boss design is awful

[cyan gorge]

Difference in opinion I guess

[cunning river]

Yeah, that's fair

[cyan gorge]

Back on topic, EB isn't that difficult if you stall phase 1 with any medic defender and bait the farts

otherwise, just cheese with buffed Ch'en s3 x2

[cunning river]

The wave pressure is not light at all

The main thing versus when he showed up on WD is that there's no space to bait

At all

Or time

[cyan gorge]

Kal, Pozy, and Texalt alone can handle the waves

[turbid badge]

bruh

u have texas

and poz

[cunning river]

He's almost at the gates and there are still enemies

[cyan gorge]

Stall with Saria or smth

[cunning river]

And you can't stall him then because he will nuke your ops on the other side of the map

I know cause I tested

Stalling doesn't work

[turbid badge]

he yold u to stall

With low atk

and just healer

[cunning river]

Yes

[turbid badge]

Like 300 attack defender

[cunning river]

It doesn't fucking work

[turbid badge]

also its meant to stall phase 1

it does

[cunning river]

It doesn't

I stalled him with Cuora and I think two healers

Still nuked my backline from across the map

It's bullshit

[turbid badge]

did u have anyone attack

??

[cunning river]

No

He just fires his nuke way more often on CM

Also again

There's just no room to bait

[turbid badge]

sigh time to try

[turbid badge]

there is

just bait it back or anywhere

u have a bunch of helidrop units

tbf

[cunning river]

Bait it where it's all a single line hallway

[turbid badge]

u can bait it back

?)

in the red box

[cunning river]

???????

[turbid badge]

do u know his fart targetting ?

[cyan gorge]

Gummy gaming

[deft badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8VPfBOSMSw

[cunning river]

He nails whoever broke his threshold, if they're on the smoke already then the last deployed op

The thing is that he goes in a straight line this time and there's just not enough room to bait it like on his release map

[turbid badge]

u can always just have pozy turret or someone with long range pop the threshold

[deft badger]

what are u even talking "u cant bait it" xD

the video does just show u how to bait it

and the order where u can place them to not cover the upper right corner

[cunning river]

This is a nightmare

[deft badger]

works the same way in normal

[cunning river]

God they should've just nerfed Surtr instead of going down whatever the hell this road is

[deft badger]

just that u dont even have to bait anything there since texas can solo kill him xD

[cunning river]

lol no she can't

She barely does nothing before dying

[deft badger]

u sure?

😄

[cunning river]

Granted she's not M3

[cyan gorge]

Just borrow Ch'en and be done with it

[cunning river]

I'll be honest, I'm not so invested to fight the support system into borrowing a Chen

[cunning river]

But this reads like nonsense

[cyan gorge]

Then do what I did
VG > Pozy > Kal > Gummy
deploy Tex/Surt/NTRK for casters and strikers

[turbid badge]

like the boss

literally stands at the bottom

for like a eternity

[deft badger]

seems like ur brain is nonsense, whats up deep depression because ur one man army ops fail u?
i just posted u the video
same order like in the picture
so u are wrong, u can bait it
making one more video to show u that texas can texas him xD

[turbid badge]

just bring gravel

u can literally stall boss with frdp

[pallid veldt]

I think cuora + a healer on the left side works

At least it worked for me

I used an e2 max hoshi and she still did barely any damage to EB

[deft badger]

gravel e1

holds that thing in place

[cunning river]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jKLZEeBriA

[bold lance]

So you wasted two perfectly fine bait spots already and are complaining that you have no place to bait?

[turbid badge]

aw man

Type writer expired

literally last second

but yea

pozys so fucking good

[pallid veldt]

Why u not blocking him with cuora his entire way down left lane

Lol

[turbid badge]

did it

alright

just have nobody close enough to pozy

[cunning river]

Because there are still enemies going down that lane I think

[turbid badge]

for the bombs to explode by

and win

[pallid veldt]

It doesnt matter

[cunning river]

But the way this map looks is bullshit

[pallid veldt]

Cuora will block EB and 1 lancer

[cunning river]

This I mean

[turbid badge]

thats what u always say

[pallid veldt]

The lancer does no damage

Medic easily outheals

[turbid badge]

its more of like

saria does too much damage

and activated threshold

and than she gets deleted in cm

so i just stalled with frdp

yato gravel red

spam

[pallid veldt]

I stall with my maxed hoshi

She does not do any damage

To EB

Saria do more?

[turbid badge]

no clie

but probably

[pallid veldt]

I try with saria

[turbid badge]

on cm Btw

so its less

Gummy can probably hol

just cause she spam her heal

every attack

lmao

but than again this dude has Skadi nearl and Texas

[cyan gorge]

Gummy stalls easily

[cunning river]

Btw EB totally triggers the smoke on the typewriter

It just dumps it on Pozy

[turbid badge]

wel of course

??? no

do u have gravel attacking

it literally goes on gravel

if u have pozy attacking with type writer thats why

[cunning river]

Explain this then

[pallid veldt]

Ah it die on 23/28

[turbid badge]

Why the fuck is ur pozy there

thats just bad placement

cuz shes getting hit by hit auto attacks

[cunning river]

In case he went down to the bottom so that she was in range

[turbid badge]

lemme pull out the fart sheet

[cunning river]

Pulling out a sheet for the boss

Okay, see, that's the sign this is nonsense

[turbid badge]

it also goes to Last deployed

if theres nothing on field thats attacking it soo

thats probably why

[cunning river]

This is so fucking stupid

I hate this game

[turbid badge]

just place ur pozy near blue box

Kek

[cunning river]

I wouldn't have started playing it if I knew it would've gotten this annoying down the road

[turbid badge]

[cunning river]

You know what's even worse

I have spent a 100 sanity on retries

Not counting the tickets

[turbid badge]

dont u have anything better for the lancers

than thorns

[cyan gorge]

We already showed you how to do it, idk what more to tell you

Kal solos all the lancers

[turbid badge]

or are u also using him for the drones

[turbid badge]

oh neat

just place pozy in the back facing left

and than unga bunga

i think penance can hold middle

[pale orchid]

I used Spalter

But I use Spalter for like everything

[cunning river]

The mobs are not a problem

[pale orchid]

[cyan gorge]

Gummy Kal, Texalt and Pozy are all you need for boss phase 1 #strategy message

[pale orchid]

Stall the boss with saria

[cunning river]

As always it's just the boss that is annoying

[pale orchid]

Until you finish all the other enemies

[cunning river]

Saria is just gonna charge suit her way into getting smoke bombed

[pale orchid]

?

She doesn’t

[turbid badge]

its cm

Lol

[cunning river]

She totally does

[turbid badge]

i recc them to stall with fast redpeloy

[pale orchid]

She doesn’t lol

[turbid badge]

yea she does

[pale orchid]

I used her in cm

[turbid badge]

she gets nuked at like 10%

[cyan gorge]

Saria too stronk

use Gummy or Nearl

or Cardigan

[cunning river]

So what's even the point of using the typewriter on him if someone's gonna get nuked either way

[pale orchid]

You place frd at useless places

[turbid badge]

anyways this what i recc just stall with frp and kill with pozy turret + ur helidrops

[pale orchid]

So the smoke goes to empty tiles you don’t need

[turbid badge]

??

it doesnt go on pozy

typewriter doesnt get affected by smoke

[cunning river]

But it totally does though

It just happened

[turbid badge]

THATS BECAUSE SHES LAST DEPLOYED

[pale orchid]

If ur too stupid to place down another op to bait the smoke

[cunning river]

And she wasn't even the last deployed

[turbid badge]

oops caps

[cyan gorge]

It does

[turbid badge]

silence was?

[cunning river]

Yes

[pale orchid]

That’s why you bait the smoke

Jesus

[turbid badge]

the picture u sent i only see silence and pozy and there like right next to each other

sonthey die together

[deft badger]

anyway u dont even have to watch all of it to understand that she is going to kill him till he gets to the end 😄
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JXuBeb943s

[turbid badge]

kek its just wih typewriter ur main dps is typewriter and there safe from getting nuked and they dish out damage while the one stalling takes the nukes ( frdp, helidrop )

[deft badger]

and u can even surtr him if u want on normal

[cunning river]

So what just have the typewriter and a FDR out when he drops the nukes

[turbid badge]

yes

and have pozy somewhere safe

liek the pic i sent

and dont forget u have stuff lik

surtr ntr and skadi

incase pozy dies u can just nuke

also bring flags

to print dp

[cunning river]

This feels like they took the fight from WD and decided to amp up the obnoxiousness

[turbid badge]

somewhat

but i feel like ex 8 is worse

cause of the mutiple lanes

of the uhh

guys that do a sht ton of damage while low hp

[cunning river]

But you had room and time to bait him

jesusfuckingchrist

So what's the explanation for this one

[deft badger]

u are doing to much dmg! if he spits when u wanna block him

[cunning river]

?????

[deft badger]

2nd u are at the wrong place

he did explain u to w8 till he gets bot

where he takes a break and stand there like a moron

[cunning river]

Excuse me but

From how I know the nuke works, it should've gone to Gravel

It didn't

[cunning river]

Gravel is completely out of danger there

[deft badger]

if something is in his face that does dmg to him

he is going to spit on that first

[cunning river]

That's stupid

[deft badger]

no its not..

[cunning river]

Also that was 100% not the way he worked on WD

At all

[deft badger]

its a mechanic so accept it

[cunning river]

It's a stupid mechanic

[deft badger]

u let him walk bot use pozys deployable there + her ulty

then u can bait it

[cunning river]

Yes but you have absolutely not enough time like that

At all

[deft badger]

because he doesn't spit on the deployable or pozy

u have

[cunning river]

You can do at most 50% of his health that way

I tried

[deft badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8VPfBOSMSw&t=1s

[cunning river]

Okay, so he also nuked Gravel 5 seconds later

This is really stupid

[deft badger]

just watch the first 20sec

[cunning river]

Oh okay, so I'm 100% right

He should've nuked Gravel then

[deft badger]

he killed gravel with a AA

because i placed her to early did panic was thinking he will fart again but he farts 3 times

[cunning river]

I mean on my game he threw the smoke bomb at Cuora first, then Gravel

[deft badger]

and does 1 aoe when he dies

[cunning river]

Which shouldn't have happened

[cyan gorge]

Just don't block

[bold lance]

He targets the unit who has dealt the most damage to him

Prioritizing the units outside of the cloud

[cunning river]

So what that's Cuora?

In which world

[bold lance]

It's the same mechanic as WD

[deft badger]

yes because he doesn't count the deployable

[cyan gorge]

He priorizes ops that are blocking him

[deft badger]

i told u he is not counting the deployable even if it does xxxxxx dmg to him

[bold lance]

Cuora definitely did more damage than a gravel you've just dropped nowhere close

[deft badger]

in ur case for him cuora was doing the highest dmg to him 😄

[cunning river]

I reiterate

I hate this game

Wish sunk cost wasn't a thing

[cyan gorge]

I'm pretty sure it's because Cuora is blocking, thus overwrites priority

[bold lance]

Man, people actually get filtered by EB because they can't just Surtr him

[cyan gorge]

[deft badger]

u can

did try it xD

ofc there has only to be surtr and him

[bold lance]

Literally just deploy any half decent duelists along his way. Boss is paperthin, fucking Bagpipe duels him to the next threshold

[cunning river]

Why the fuck do I have to pull a fucking rulebook because this was the best way the geniuses at HG though of countering Surtr

[deft badger]

and u have to block him so that he doesnt run away means exits the map but u can 😄

[deft badger]

u can surtr him on exit and surtr on 3rd corner

he dies 😄

u are just to pissed that u can't just go brtttt without a setup so cool ur brain and turn it on again

[gentle finch]

did u win

the helidrop spam works even on cm lol

[turbid badge]

yeah zenith gets it

typewriter op

[cunning river]

This is the most I can get him on without blocking

[turbid badge]

btw just kill him on the yellow

he gonna stop there

than u can kill with type writer

[gentle finch]

why is Angelina there

[turbid badge]

i would like maybe undeploy yhorns and stuff

but like u havent done it so

its judt everyone kinda might get nuked

[cunning river]

Because enemies were still coming on that screenshot

[turbid badge]

but u have texas so

and surtr almost bakc

[cunning river]

Texas dies in one hit to this guy

[turbid badge]

Should win

[turbid badge]

u have gravel so

u can like

have her tank while shes attacking

[cunning river]

This game has become garbage

[turbid badge]

Gg

[deft badger]

i know someone told him don't block him, but how do u wanna use pozy ulty again after he moves if u don't actually block him 😄

she has to get her ulty back if u wanna do the deployable thing

[cunning river]

Pozy gets one shot at this guy and it doesn't even do that much damage

[deft badger]

u are really actually making me mad, the video i did send u does debunk all the statements u made in the past 30min 😄

[turbid badge]

idk what he did but hey

he did it

[cunning river]

It's clear there's something I'm not understanding, but doing things similar to your video still didn't have the same results

Which is why this game's so frustrating because guides and advice rarely translate how they're supposed to work vs how they actually work

[cyan gorge]

I'm pretty sure my version left very little variables to consider

[surreal star]

i usually don’t have problems with guides tbh

[solid dew]

if it wasnt "texalt/mylnar/surtr/pozy go brrrr" its bad guide!1!!!1

[cunning river]

Well, you'd think

It's not that the guide is bad

[surreal star]

ur bad

[turbid badge]

i like watching clears like @merry narwhal and guides that insight me on the mechanics or little tricks

its really satisfying clearing content with a half assed team

[cyan gorge]

I only use guides when I'm not in the mood to brute force with maxed Pozy

[turbid badge]

i dont like playing with e1 so im trying to e2 most of these ops asap so im broke like wgz

[surreal star]

unrelated but i feel like dc-8 mid lane is made for hellagur

[solid dew]

i use guides only on levels i either; cannot beat within like 5 attempts
or it look like shit (boss/enemies/mechanics etc)

[deft badger]

i told u where u failed, u didn't shoot him at the places where i did
2nd u didn't block him till pozy got her ulty back

[turbid badge]

i havent touched guides in a long time

Yk whats a guide?

AH

[deft badger]

that's the only way u can fail

[turbid badge]

i just whip out ah and im like i cannot fail

[solid dew]

i dont have andreanna cant do AH frfr
i have litterally everyone else

[tiny moat]

does DC-8 CM buff enemy atk%

[deft badger]

btw to surtr him u have to block him with fast redeploys till he does that stupid black orb

[cyan gorge]

20% buff I think

[deft badger]

when he does it u ready to hit with her he has to AA couple times to get it ready

but that stupid orb delets her nvm if she has ulty on or not 😄

[cyan gorge]

He already cleared, why are you lecturing him

[turbid badge]

her range isnt long enough to escape it yea

[cunning river]

I'll be honest, the image and video you sent I can barely make heads or tails of it

I can see why you put your FDRs where you did (I think)

[cunning river]

But beyond that this makes no sense to me for example

[fiery marsh]

Any duelist who can solo kill the imperial guys Works fine. I used bagpipe

[cunning river]

And I'm just no longer that invested in the game to sit down to try to figure it out

I'm just not

[surreal star]

then don’t play tbh

if you don’t like the gameplay

[cunning river]

Sunk cost fallacy is a strong force

[turbid badge]

atleast wait until RA

Gameplay

[tiny moat]

fight it
