Sunk cost fallacy doesn't mean shit if you aren't enjoying it

gentle finch
#

so true.

pallid veldt
#

thats not how sunk cost fallacy works

#

sunk cost fallacy literally directly applies to things you dont enjoy

#

but still do due to prior investment

surreal star
#

🗣️ speak ur truth disa

turbid badge
#

Oh my gooagawdd

pallid veldt
#

dunno

#

people just throw around the term a lot

#

without actually knowing what it means

surreal star
#

so true 💅

cyan gorge
#

Well I'm of the opinion that there's no point in forcing yourself to do something you don't enjoy, especially when it comes to gacha

surreal star
#

i think so too

pallid veldt
#

like the textbook example of sunk cost fallacy is families going to amusements parks they dont enjoy just because they paid for yearly tickets

mlynar s3 boosted by saileach module 3 aspd!!

I've been playing for close to what? Three years?

thats understandable

im of the same vein

#

i like ak lore

cunning river
#

Also doesn't help that I still like the aesthetic and music a lot

turbid badge
#

so im chill

cunning river
#

It's just the gameplay I feel has gone to hell since SN

turbid badge
#

u can enjoy those things and not play the game tbh , can always take a break etc

pallid veldt
#

its easy to say "stop playing if its not fun" but actually just completely quitting/dropping an account that has taken up half an hour of ur day for the greater part of 2-3 years is hard to do

#

so like

#

i understand it i mean

#

im just holding out for cc12 at this point

turbid badge
#

man the centurion trait is so good

cyan gorge
gentle finch
#

For me I like min maxing my base

cunning river
#

It's gonna happen sooner or later that I largely drop this game

#

It's just that it's hard to do

#

hey, thanks. Glad that you enjoy them. I don't go super tryhard and try to put in some meme ops you don't see very often BlitzSmile

cunning river
#

Anyways, thanks for the help, even if I was annoying during the convo

#

good that u cant compare genshin with arknights 😄

cyan gorge
deft badger
#

lack of content, took me 4 days to get to the end of the story that was available
unable to play because of energy
stupid high cost of ops 🙂

solid dew
#

i love rng on rng on rng on rng

cyan gorge
#

Look I'm all for complaining about Genshin, but this isn't the place and I'd rather not get warned

solid dew
#

true

deft badger
#

ah yes let me add
bennett, xiangling, mona, raiden to the stupid things genshin has..

gentle finch
#

I must add

#

one thing that kept Arknights fun for me is that a lot of my friends play it

#

so we do challenges together and stuff

solid dew
pallid veldt
#

just use mlynar

#

👍

surreal star
#

tequila>mlynar in 0-1 ngl

cyan gorge
#

Mlynar + Chalter + Surtr + Pozy and maybe you can clear

surreal star
#

mly bad fr

merry narwhal
#

just wait for the new 1 star defender

#

he'll get you through

edgy mauve
#

im having trouble clearing 7-8, ive tried following video guides but i keep failing. any suggestions?

cyan gorge
#

Show map and built ops

cyan gorge
#

Kal and Lisk should be able to plug both lanes

#

Shirayuki can hit both nicely

#

Texalter for safety

#

what about this map is killing you?

edgy mauve
#

i think its unit DP costs? i tried a few times with this setup, looked up guides that used different setups, but those ones i kept losing operators

cyan gorge
#

Is the opening wave that bad? Idr

deft badger
#

borrow bagpipe, did that on cm yesterday and yes i did strugle ... me only myrtle vanguard xD

pallid veldt
deft badger
#

or only eyja s2 u place her in the middle she 1 hits them pretty much

pallid veldt
#

something something

#

activate NTR s2 on

#

26/51 wave

#

idk

#

should be fine

#

texas whenever u see a bunch of mobs together

#

i mean NTR s3

#

my bad

edgy mauve
#

which skill should kaltsit have? i haven't been able to e2 her yet

pallid veldt
#

s2

dry skiff
#

if ur really lazy u can just borrow a ling
otherwise its just a pretty overkill with your ops

edgy mauve
#

ah i had her on s1

pallid veldt
#

yeah s2 is a lot better

#

i would put ceobe top lane face left or something

#

ur e1 kal might need a little more support

#

also change ceobe to skill 2

surreal star
#

you can open with ntrk>lisk>exu

#

ceobe might be better than exu here

edgy mauve
#

will do.

merry narwhal
pallid veldt
#

lmfao

merry narwhal
#

swire is nearl2 facing down with S1

#

gummy is nearl1

#

and Blue Poison is Exu

edgy mauve
merry narwhal
#

so she can hit both lanes with the extension

cyan gorge
edgy mauve
#

ooooh that makes sense

merry narwhal
#

first op should be Exu

surreal star
#

activate ntrk on last wave
i placed down nearl in front of lisk to stall a few seconds

merry narwhal
#

delay her a bit so her S3 goes off when the wave hits her

deft badger
#

xD

edgy mauve
#

alright i'll try again with you're suggestions

deft badger
#

if u fail couple times just get a eyja s2 and start with her

merry narwhal
#

if you're going to borrow, might as well go for Ling because she solos the stage

cyan gorge
#

They don't need Ling tho Bnuuy

edgy mauve
#

i got it cleared, thank you all 🙂

surreal star
#

nice

solid dew
opaque needle
#

a bit doubtful on doing this 😭

#

but i do need more originium for alter yato

plucky flint
#

Do u have aoe medic?

thick badger
#

that squad looks doable altho last wave might break the frontline if u don't time ur skills

tidal sedge
#

Well you can force close if leak 1
Try n error, till last wave

soft crystal
opaque needle
#

after long consideration

#

we are e2-ing cutter

soft crystal
#

Also bring shaw

opaque needle
#

and e1-ing shaw too

#

my lmd 😭🙏

plucky flint
#

I think his e2 cutter holding bottom lane is already fine

#

No need Shaw, unless I forgot what else Shaw is doing besides pushing bottom enemies

opaque needle
thick badger
#

shinin+hibiscus are arguably enough tho, no aoe healer needed, but yeah an E2 carry would help things go smoothly

plucky flint
#

Using ifrit in anni3 without aoe medic kinda crinj

opaque needle
#

im perfurmer-less idk how but i just am

plucky flint
#

But sure

thick badger
#

last time I checked there was a guide that uses gitano E2

opaque needle
plucky flint
#

Don't RedOmegaLul

opaque needle
plucky flint
#

Just e2 ur cutter and borrow that ifrit s2

opaque needle
#

will do

#

my lmd is flying to heaven rn

soft crystal
#

Yeah honestly

#

Hibiscus will struggle healing

deft badger
#

the only thing that maybe will be a pain is 2 defenders
silver, chalter, ifrit can solo that map if u can take the dmg the ads are throwing at u

thick badger
#

u can add spot or cuora, spot gives dodge and heals, while cuora S2 has selfhealing and is quite sturdy so takes pressure off healers

#

gotta be creative when u low end ZimaDrink

Is there any way to clear annihilation 3 without 5-6 stars?

cyan gorge
#

Should be easily possible

foggy grove
#

i mean sure but it's harder

cyan gorge
#

hard but possible

foggy grove
#

there is uh stuff like gitano/shira

#

overall it's just easier to e2 one unit and borrow one 6* carry

what is the shifter bug being referenced here?

basically doubles her damage output, making s2 much more viable than it already was and shredding even patriot here
by killing pat before the 18th enemy, the killgate for second wave becomes that little dude, which is stallable with feater bug
thats about it

opal kiln

ye

#

stalling 18th enemy so siegebreakers don't spawn

verbal sparrow
#

is there a video / document explaining this bug ?

opal kiln
#

it's just killgate

#

siegebreakers (and the other enemies) won't spawn until 18/45 or after patriot phase 1

#

but u can just stall a trash mob instead and they'll never spawn until the trash mob is dead

#

so u can take all your time for both patriot phases

foggy grove
plucky flint
#

But since no enemies in the range, she just CardAyy

verbal sparrow
#

interesting. "hold fire" trick, so to speak

plucky flint
#

Cutter s1 can also do that "bug"

opal kiln
#

oh the feater bug not 18th enemy bug CardAyy

plucky flint
#

But surely there are more ops that can do that too

opal kiln
#

pretty sure all pullers can do that

#

for pushers only feater cuz the others use skill even with no targets(?)

plucky flint
#

I don't think I'll ever want to stall like that

opal kiln
#

clearly u haven't seen spec only cc9

#

4 of the puller/pusher bug, while stalling tftt with frds above

verbal sparrow
#

sounds too tedious, but I guess ppl will go thru anything for e-creds

plucky flint

Doing 1 of that makes me wanna die, but 4?.....

speaking of "shifter bug", did they ever fix the shaw bug

i wish it was video instead gif because it hurts my brain to see it loop RedOmegaLul

Any ideas for DC-8 ? I'm struggling with the drones😅

pozeomka handle it nicely if you borrow

serene umbra

Okay thanks !

rose patrol
#

I didn't know EB black fart affects enemies aspd, talulah has long atk intervals

foggy grove
#

they don't until eb leaves the field iirc then it does

latent monolith
#

It only affects after EB dies yea

#

In practice this is a big deal mostly in WD EX 8

(and tfn2 ofc)

?

topaz quest
#

hey im having trouble clearing 3-8, my defence keeps getting overwhelmed too quickly and my medics cant heal fast enough any help?

glass monolith
#

3-8 is skullshutter 2?

topaz quest
#

mhm

glass monolith
#

Don't try to block boss on first loop, place in back, if needed bait boss by deploying last some operator away from everyone

topaz quest
#

im not trying to block but he still pushes into my two defenders and fucks them while other enemies are piling

#

im guessing it could also be a healing problem but idk

somber falcon
topaz quest
glass monolith
#

Well exactly what i tell about HellaKek

somber falcon
topaz quest
#

these two waiting points are what fuck me

#

i just did a run and did 3 healers on them this time but i lost cause of the pro dogs

somber falcon
#

Put them one tile to the right

topaz quest
#

yeah i put them here

somber falcon
#

MudrockNaruhodo
Then move on to minus' second part of the advice; bait his attack

topaz quest
#

yeah ill try

glass monolith
#

For general idea of what you can do, my e1 maxed Kroos didn't solo him only because drones

topaz quest
#

alright did it

#

2 star tho cause i reacted too slow

topaz quest
#

thanks

merry narwhal
topaz quest
merry narwhal
#

what are your units

serene umbra
#

Sorry🥲

merry narwhal
merry narwhal
#

all E1 except for Blue Poison

#

so might need more ranged ops for dps

serene umbra
merry narwhal
#

some of the timings aren't straight-forward, but you can always just use more units

#

you can also use Cuora, but mine is maxed and would solo the boss

plucky flint
#

Estelle jumpscare ExuHyperStare

merry narwhal
#

it was my only E1 option

deft badger
#

s2 smash her 2 times in to him

#

just take care of the little stuff with the rest of ur team

#

doesn't have to be e2 actually just s2

topaz quest
deft badger
#

do u have a e1?

#

anything that is e1

topaz quest
#

4 stars yea

deft badger
#

then u can borrow a texas

#

texas alter

topaz quest
topaz quest
deft badger
#

use ur best tank on the bot side where the boss crashes, get a texas support

#

if he walks to fast and u dont have time to close top

#

because of dp

#

u can put a sniper on the upper tiles

#

and healer behind it facing bot on ur tank

#

he will hit the sniper couple times but not kill it if its on the defense tile

#

let me just show u fast what i mean

topaz quest
#

when he was focusing sniper on top my healer on defence tile wass able to heal her fast enough so its not a problem

#

but uhh what class is texas alter idk

glass monolith
#

Specialist (at killing everyone who buy pineapple pizza at groceries)

topaz quest
#

yall mean texas the omertosa yea?

deft badger
#

like this

topaz quest
#

ah

#

the one on the def tile is a sniper?

deft badger
#

drop texas on him when he hits one time the sniper

#

yes

#

behind her is healer

#

and liskarm u know her already

#

just put kroos there, where my redhead stands 😄

topaz quest
#

so texas on him directly infront of him?

#

yea they keep getting through because im focusing skullcrusher idk what to do

sullen rover
#

what r all your units

sullen rover
#

this is everyone built?

topaz quest
#

yea as much as i can

sullen rover
#

can you kill all the mobs first then focus skullshatterer later?

topaz quest
#

ill try

#

they keep getting through

sullen rover
#

wtf i was memeing and mlynar s1 goes undeniably hard here

topaz quest
#

going insane smh

sullen rover
topaz quest
#

how the fuck

glass monolith
#

Horse

#

Anyway, how you still on that stage? RedOmegaLul

topaz quest
#

i did it 2 star trying to 3 star it

sullen rover
#

the vermeil is e1 lvl 1 and sl1 so shes not even doing anything lol

glass monolith
#

2 starring stage often waste, also try pratice if you not sure about winning

topaz quest
#

who dis btw

glass monolith
#

Mlynar. One balanced horse

heady hedge
#

surtr

#

thats mlynar

sullen rover
#

mlynar his s2 probably better but i couldnt find one

glass monolith
#
  1. S2 will make your ears bleed.
  2. Nobody on Earth set him S2 on friend support, people you found were S3 reset to S1 because lack of E2 RedOmegaLul
sullen rover
#

yeah ik

#

my healers are e155 though so might need some adjustments

foggy grove
#

ntr also goes hard

heady hedge
topaz quest
#

man i fuckin suck at this game

heady hedge
#

congrats

sullen rover
#

theres always someone doing worse if that makes you feel better

fickle zephyr
#

what are you trying to do

sullen rover
#

3-8

fickle zephyr
#

skullshatterer pt 2?

topaz quest
#

yea

heady hedge
#

let me open arknights

#

what do you have

sullen rover
#

yeah you should change the casters to snipers or sth i used them because they were the only one that kind of matches your ops powerlvl more

heady hedge
#

ok how do i deal with drones

#

hmm

#

kroos should solo

sullen rover
#

(the 2 stars caster)

gleaming lodge
#

you're supposed to setup in the back

#

let SS circle around, don't block her early

topaz quest
#

(going fucking insane)

glass monolith
#

Let's simplify issue. What leaks. Why leaks. Is it blockable?

heady hedge
#

well

#

too much work actually

#

also ling s1 sucks

#

holy fuck

#

whatever its good enough

#

i think i can place kroos better

#

also i dont have any other defenders so im using e0 50 nian

#

ykw i think just borrow a s2 ntrk

glass monolith
#

You didn't e1 max Cardigan for best Paradox in this game? DIE

heady hedge
#

i have cardigan maxed

#

spot too

#

but he has e0 50 defenders

#

i use both in is3

#

ok ntrk literally shits on skullshitter

#

lmfao

topaz quest
#

ntrk?

heady hedge
#

this bitch

#

e1 80 works well enough i borrowed mine

#

just dont directly block

#

the boss just dies

#

you can prob find it on support

turbid badge
#

anyways ive been using ling s2

#

pretty fun

heady hedge
#

would had tried ling s2

#

maybe

#

but none on fl probably

#

i could just use mine but mines e2 90 mod3

topaz quest
#

yall gotta remember ive been playing barely a month now and not alot every day 💀

hello sir I heard you was maleknightd player so what's with all these females?

heady hedge
topaz quest
#

i give up i will return to this fucking stage when i care enough

heady hedge
#

also whyd you assume their genders

#

wtf...

turbid badge
#

dest is a mam

topaz quest
#

thank you for all your help i will continue to do tactical drills until my sanity runs out because my brain cant take anymore

sullen rover
#

uhh hellagur solos the boss on his own

#

so you can focus all your other ops on the mob which is probably more of a threat than the boss tbh

turbid badge
#

deploy ur defenders last

#

so he hits them

#

nuking or just burst when hes below 50%

#

like have all ur fire power on her

#

or u can let her spin around twice

heady hedge
topaz quest
#

is this ntrk?

heady hedge
#

yes

sullen rover
#

yes

topaz quest
#

whos the medic and this

sullen rover
#

use ptilo and any aa sniper to replace

heady hedge
#

vermiel

#

i have her e1 1 cuz for base

#

aint no way im using the e2 90 exu

#

noir corne you can prob replace with like

#

liskarm, steward you can prob put lava, nian just use cuora ig

#

you have silence too

#

place something behind defender incase something leaks ig

topaz quest
#

yea i dont know it isnt working

heady hedge
#

whats going wrong

topaz quest
#

top is getting overwhelmed and ntrk isnt getting healed fast enough

heady hedge
#

ntrk should die

#

maybe

#

she gets retreated on s2

#

i had steward on top

#

forget to mention that

#

you can prob put lava there

#

and place two blockers

#

cuz i know my noir corne died

sullen rover
heady hedge
#

that probably works as well

#

lmao

sullen rover
#

yeah place 2 blocker on top and you just afk i think

topaz quest
#

NOTHING IS WORKING IM GOING TO END IT ALL

heady hedge
#

show whats going wrong

#

may be lvl diff

#

cuz the ones im using 3* e1 55

sullen rover
#

my lava is e155 which you have courier and myrr is sl4 e130

#

trust differences maybe?

heady hedge
#

trust exists

#

holy fuck

topaz quest
#

i legit give up

deft badger
# gleaming lodge nah dude this one is bait

yes u are right, because the def-up tiles on the ground are there for non reason...😂
i don't know when was the last time u did a rerun, but i did it 2 weeks ago with a fresh acc... did it the same way i explained him to do, the only reason he is failing is having fang i did have much more dp generation

sullen rover
#

yeah just build your ops overleveling your units works ig

deft badger
#

can bagpipe s2 1v1 the boss on the def tile?
would cost him less dp and he would be able to place earlier some ops on top

glass monolith
#

Boss just a little 4 times as much damage in melee which is 1300, or 1950 below 50% and we talk guy who has e0 operators DIE

worthy ermine
#

been trying to full clear this anni, should i do any repositioning?

deft badger
#

3rd hit kills her btw thats true 😄

#

actually w8 i have a lvl40, 0 trust tank 🙂

#

lvl40, took 7 hits till he died

#

texas would kill the boss till then

worthy ermine
#

shaw is so stupid

#

she pushed them inside the blue box

deft badger
#

i did have a idea for that stage actually

#

wanted to try it on my own lee and yoyo

gleaming lodge
worthy ermine
#

actually yea i should borrow lee

#

fuck saria

#

wait lee is a merchant

#

:aware:

deft badger
#

this dude

worthy ermine
#

i almost won but ethan alone cant deal with the blades

#

and i dont have aosta

deft badger
#

thats why lee

latent monolith
#

You can use like justice knight

#

just a few more hits without taking deploy slots

worthy ermine
#

i need that spot to deploy texas if emergency

latent monolith
#

Also just have like a gravel handy if you can spare a deploy slot

latent monolith
worthy ermine
#

you dont take merchants there

bold lance
#

So why didn't you deploy texas on the leaking token?

worthy ermine
#

texas has a redeployment cooldown of approximately 18 seconds

latent monolith
#

Just add justice knight; I don't see why texas existing is an issue

#

unless you can't spare the squad slot

worthy ermine
#

i didnt get to deploy penance

#

actually wait

#

penance s2

#

im a genius

deft badger
#

this is why i wanted to try it with him 😄

worthy ermine
#

go do it then

deft badger
#

because of his pushback

worthy ermine
#

lets see if you'll run out of dp or not

#

im starting to think you dont know what the merchant branch is

latent monolith
deft badger
#

well theoretically i am fine till the last 30 ops

#

till then i am going to stuck up over 400 dp

latent monolith
#

But yeah you generally don't want to take merchants into annis unless you're only using them for short intervals

gleaming lodge
deft badger
#

"Showcase" dude asks why are we...

deft badger
latent monolith

#

Why are you posting stuff from 777ucky then

deft badger
#

for the last 30 ads? 😄

latent monolith
#

Well then sure ig

deft badger
high crest
#

how about weedy if you need push?

latent monolith
#

If you want to use him use him there's no need to argue here at this point

#

I can even give you my own although that's unnecessary for your usage

deft badger
#

i would even go to that point if there isn't always some kid in the channel that tries to pick a fight with someone because yeah parents told him he is the smartest in the world

latent monolith
#

I don't think your post of the showcase was warranted either ChenShrug

#

It had very little to do with what the other person was saying

#

Their argument against lee (dp) is perfectly valid

deft badger
#

that person did say, why lee

#

i posted the video thats why xD

latent monolith
#

They disagreed with lee not because he doesn't push but because he eats dp

deft badger
#

btw by the setup i expect that he is leaking at the same point i am at like 350

#

since i have back there only a sniper and ethan

high crest
#

weedy has s2 its like an afk skill push if im correct

deft badger
#

so getting lee at that point in the game would just prevent it till the end i hope it would 😄

deft badger
#

if he would root maybe it could work

#

but not even sure then he would be able to kill some of them

latent monolith
#

Although you can still leak up to 9

#

and weedy can place cannon

That stage is quite hard without nightingale, or mudrock, or dollkeepers, or without outsing 5 medics and large HP pools

#

Therapists giving u status resistance also important

Nightingale is one thing, but Mud and dollkeepers are mandatory? Bnuuy
also 5 medics??

Idk I didn't think to bring Kaze to h8-4, nor Mud

#

well i only tried with spectral for firestorm

#

and i activated s2 too lmfao

lapis hornet

oh right

heady hedge
#

i think dollkeeper form has higher res?

No 0 res

thick badger
#

Mud shields can take fireballs for free

heady hedge
#

oh

#

just the revive then

thick badger
#

Immortal skills are obviously ur best friends

cyan gorge
#

I remember I used Blemi, Saria, and Gavalter s3 tank and NG cages/frd for the last lane

deft badger
#

did work out in the end

#

but yes heavy dp problems with that guy in the team did even leak 9 of them

cyan gorge
#

If you wanted to reduce leaks, killing them earlier with Ifrit or help Ethan with blue poison would be better there than Lee

thick badger
#

Even E0 pudding is useful for Ethan support

deft badger
#

the last wave was my problem always, was even thinking about leveling ethan up just to get him that route

thick badger
#

E1 S1 lv7 is the optimal choice. E0 S1 lv4 if u hate male operators but understand he is the best op for the stage

deft badger
#

when does he get the root

#

-.-

opal kiln
#

the what

sullen rover
#

the route obviously(i dont know what the fuck that means)

cedar hound
#

Well you arent the brightest star
So understandable

heady hedge
#

yeah you guys are so dumb, its obviously the route

thick badger
#

Ah yes, Ethan with the route, how can u not understand

opal kiln
#

I personally prefer the 3rd route

thick badger
#

I always go the bad route cause it's always got the best scenes

deft badger
#

root, grammar ... 😛

thick badger
#

The bind, it's not worth depending on his bind talent, too RNG unless u use S2. And u obviouly want S1 not S2, dont worry about his binds, focus on dot

limpid siren
#

what

#

outside of IW, the bind is ethan's entire selling point

#

lil homie wants m3 and his mod3

thick badger
#

Well yeah if u actually wanna use Ethan for endgame clears u master his S2 and mod3, but if u just reluctantly picked ethan cause u cant do anni, u just care about his S1 dot

deft badger
#

i just got him for the event, then i realized that i can use him in that annihilation

#

worst i didn't even know he existed till the event

thick badger
#

He is a great unit, very strong CC, very reliable, very resilient

halcyon fiber
#

whos the next best e2

#

latent anvil

Sort by rarity but kroos lapp specter myrtle are all okay, myrtle being near the end in terms of priority

I thought this was the friendly chat I could come to for help to clear stages 😟

deft badger
#

non of us here is obliged to deal with ur s-

gleaming lodge
#

You give bad advice

#

I correct you

deft badger
#

i am going to say it again, u have no idea what u are talking about

gentle finch
#

😭

gleaming lodge
#

?

#

In what way ?

#

Are you saying I don't know how to play the game ?

#

Because clearly you don't understand a stage as simple as 3-8...

deft badger
#

i am saying that u need help, the same way like 1 week ago
how do u even end up in to a "ego-war" over arknights, why do u get the urge to have one?

deft badger
gleaming lodge
#

Because you are giving bad advice ?

deft badger
#

at wich point was it a bad advice u smart a- 😄

gleaming lodge
# gleaming lodge nah dude this one is bait

This one
And to be honest you started the ego-war this time RedOmegaLul
This is very heavy on sarcasm

yes u are right, because the def-up tiles on the ground are there for non reason...😂
i don't know when was the last time u did a rerun, but i did it 2 weeks ago with a fresh acc... did it the same way i explained him to do, the only reason he is failing is having fang i did have much more dp generation

eager gate
#

my favorite ak discord channel. Has everything from small talk about character balance theory to drama, despite being supposedly strats only
Literally no need to be anywhere else on the server

gleaming lodge
#

Also, if you're gonna insult me, do it properly instead of cutting the words

deft badger
#

because u are doing the same thing like past week, u don't have a solution
coming in the channel and calling people stupid hahahaha

#

u didn't give that guy even one advice but did s- on someone u didn't like again

deft badger
gleaming lodge
#

A solution to what ?
To your bad advice ? I just told you (in what I think is a nice way) that your advice was wrong

#

You made it weird this time

gleaming lodge
deft badger
#

it wasn't wrong because he would have passed the stage, like i did say the only reason he fails is probably not having dp regen

#

me doing the same stage low lvl chars, 0 trust, myrtle + fang didn't have any problems

#

plus like i did tell him use texas e1s2 she will kill the boss for u

#

and u tell him go put a camp at the exit where he doesn't even have healers in the first place to heal all the aoe dmg the boss does

gleaming lodge
#

??
You're not supposed to let SS bombard your backline

deft badger
#

call me stupid then and he fails.. putting that even lvl50 tank there (def up tile) the boss needs 6-8 hits to kill him

gleaming lodge
#

You're really arguing in here despite not understanding TR-10

gleaming lodge
deft badger
#

thats what i did show him

#

told him u can texas him in that way 2 times because he will shoot that sniper, sniper facing left actually because of drones

#

tank low lvl without trust has on that tile

gleaming lodge
deft badger
#

which is 200 def more then normal, on my account where i did use only texas to fight the boss my tank actually died but nvm 2sec later she was ready and i killed him closed the place with a guard i was fine

gleaming lodge
#

Maybe for that specific account it was the good strat
But in general it's not
And since the game has a tendency of giving baits with buff/roadblock tiles, I warned you about it
You could've told me that a while ago instead of making this massive fuss.
I have to say, I was wrong a few weeks ago, and apologize for it, but this time you started it

#

Also, if you're using Texas alter to DPS the boss, her + yato and noir corne should be enough to kill SS entirely, without ever blocking SS

deft badger
#

dude i latterly did write that down, which u didn't read

gleaming lodge
#

yes u are right, because the def-up tiles on the ground are there for non reason...😂
i don't know when was the last time u did a rerun, but i did it 2 weeks ago with a fresh acc... did it the same way i explained him to do, the only reason he is failing is having fang i did have much more dp generation

This is the only thing I saw, which is quite aggressive

deft badger
#

i responded to that...

gleaming lodge
#

Yes
Which was in no way an insult or attack

#

At least in my opinion, if you thought, then I must apologize as it wasn't my intention

deft badger
#

same pic like the one i did post right now how to place them so that he shoots the sniper a bit so that he walks slow and u can texas

gleaming lodge
#

Yeah ?

#

But baiting a physical AoE boss with a sniper sounds like a mistake to me

deft badger
#

he doesn't kill the sniper anyway

gleaming lodge
#

(3-8 SS is a she btw)

#

That's a good 500 dmg per hit, every 3s

#

At E1 low level you need two ST medics for that

deft badger
#

lvl50 sniper xD

gleaming lodge
#

Wait what ?

#

Doesn't she deal (1/2)*1300 ?

deft badger
#

thats how much dmg he/she did with one shot, which insta got healed 😄

peak cloak
#

my guys, what are those shits.

just make friends with some guys who have boss killers, a maxed Pozyomka can even melt ss before this boss reach the backline o Kurwa.

then someone ask me again why i am pissed sometimes

after spending the day here and people dropping like this

#

3-8 doesnt have any materials at high rate, am i right?

if yes, JUST SKIP with support units

gleaming lodge

Ok lmao

#

SS deals 26% of ATK as splash on the ranged attack

deft badger
gleaming lodge
#

There is no way I would've remembered that 💀

gentle finch
#

good advice to a guy with no E2

#

also it's not bad telling some a strategy on how to clear a stage

#

they learn

frigid kite
#

Borrow Texalter, Mountain, Mlynar 👍

gleaming lodge
gentle finch
#

yeah

#

I mean like a general strategy that factors in their squad

#

I only spoon-feed if they ask me to

deft badger
gleaming lodge
#

that's nice indeed

#

however Matterhorn is dead FiaDed

deft badger
#

u have to texas anyway 3 times don't remember if the boss died after the tank or before he killed the tank anyway that's on my main acc i don't have my other one anymore gave it away to someone can't test it but i know it did work with texas e1s2

gleaming lodge
#

the point of 3-8 is that you're supposed to let SS rotate once because the initial dog rush is too intense to take care of her at the same time

#

but I guess new ops can crush it today ?

deft badger
#

probably yes in the past but since there is texas-alter s2 "mini surtr s3"

#

there isn't a reason to do

aint no way this guy can make it, so suggesting to borrow an e1 op isnt something too bad.

if ash at e1 maxed work ,then glad for it.

he need to works a bit on his squad compositions by e1 few ops to make them a bit useful, Ptilopsis s2, Cuora s2. SA s2 i know its weird but he would need an extra blocker as if his Cuora died.

Ptilopsis should be e1-> get s2, deploy her early to charge up her skill and use it when ss start hitting hard.

however ,there is a strat from I love Amiya guy, that i watched over 2 years ago. he cleared this stage with five or six 3* ops. lets me check again.

by the looks of it, its the same as that IS2 node that gives you a choice between the 3 collectables. ill see what they are for u hol up

the "growth" one gives 5 light
the survival turns all lifes except 1 into shield
and the other gives one op 100% atk/hp at the start of a stage (so the same as that one in IS2)

In E1 i think he is a decent laneholder with s2

At least is what the skill design makes look like

glass monolith

S2 is not bad to turn him into tank with regen, it is just little cringe to use DPS operator for tanking, it is as if idk, medic had ability to do 5k true damage to something on another part of map HellaKek

At first i assumed Aciddrop and Pallas to be male because flat

fiery marsh

yea ik the best thing to do is level up the skill

glass monolith
#

Shaw need skill level 4 for push force if i recall right

fiery marsh
topaz quest
#

what is max skill level anyways?

fiery marsh
glass monolith
#

7 -> then mastery 3 for 4*+ rarities which is extra investment and one skill at time

fiery marsh
#

But for masteries you need e2

topaz quest
#

is there any point in it for shaw tbh?

fiery marsh
#

I think not

#

Seven is fine

topaz quest
#

rn at 4

glass monolith
#

I'm 99% sure you need only 4 for push force, but i am not push min maxer, call this Rainchan to help with that RedOmegaLul

yea yea it is 4

fiery marsh
#

Seven i think turns her S2 better

topaz quest
#

also when am i able to actually use passenger or should i not even bother

fiery marsh
#

And you need It for somethings like anni 3

topaz quest
#

he and silverash are my only 6's lmao

fiery marsh
#

Passanger is a good aoe unit but is not that high in priority

#

Focus in silverash is better

are all aoe casters expensive asf?

Passanger has very fun skill 3, but need module to spam it more often which is even more investment CeobeConfused

Eventually you will get flagbearers to print dp like crazy

also the next banner is yato right?

i heard a thing about pulling

its like

if you dont get it in ur first 10 dont bother

cause of the guarentee thing

Well for 100% getting yato you will need 120 pulls

topaz quest
#

is it true or?

#

#

how much is that in money

#

100 bucks

#

jesus

fiery marsh
#

That is why people save pulls in gacha

But you seem like just started

#

been playing for about a month rn

#

i stopped like

#

2 months ago

#

and started again a week ago

#

i tried to pull for kal and got passenger i think? or SA i dont remember

fiery marsh
#

Probally is better for you Just try to get yato with free pulls and start saving for Future banners

glass monolith
# topaz quest if you dont get it in ur first 10 dont bother

There is "at least 1 5* in first 10 pulls each banner" deal, but it is recommended to avoid it because majority of 5* are toooooooooo specialized to be worth using over other operators. And even if banner has good rate ups, it is still 25% scam fest with x10 button burning 2 weeks of saving CeobeConfused

fiery marsh
#

You have How much of pulls worth?

topaz quest
#

6.6k orundum and 36 prime

#
  • alot of stages i havent even done yet or just 2 starred bcuz lazy

and the early challenge stages i havvent done

fiery marsh

what about the other one hool something

If your roster is full of arts damage, chapter 9 kick you ass. If you have no arts damage chapter 5 drones kick your ass (Just because there is snipers to focus drones doesn't mean all drones agree to die to them). Chapter 8 boss is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa. Chapter 10 cannon mechanic is fun

why does john cena follow the arknights twitter

glass monolith
# topaz quest on god (what is arts damage)

There are 3(4) damage types:
Physical - Dealt by most operators who is not caster/supporter, reduced by def by flat amount - 200 phys damage against 50 def is 150 damage
Arts - Dealt by most casters/supporters, as well as some abilities/talents which can appear on any class (Like sniper Blue poison and guard Thorns have talents to deal arts damage over time) reduced by res by percentage - 200 arts damage against 50 res is 100 damage
True - Dealt by few skills (Amiya S3, Kaltsit S3), not reduced by anything, bypasses damage reductions, dodges, and some other mechanics which in most cases work only against physical and arts
EMOTIONAL Elemental "damage" - "damage" which fills up circle like bar below your character (appears only if damaged), taking 1000 elemental "damage" activates effect, can be healed by wandering medics. Elemental damage doesn't do anything by itself but effect activation often has damage to it. In story appears only in chapter 9+

#

so pro

glass monolith
#

Also in advance, it is CN sufferings simulator, not diablo, Burn and Cold/Freeze in chapters like 5 to 8 count toward Status effect, not Elemental damage, those just happen when condition are met (like being in range of altar applying cold, getting hit by cold while cold (freezes), getting targeted by enemy ability doing said status)

topaz quest
#

why do they release cn and the rest separately?

#

is it cause slow translations?

glass monolith
#

Different servers different publishers

#

Never encountered games which has servers separated by several content patches?

topaz quest
#

no i play games where the devs and community try to actively kill eachother

#

Which honestly only exist because CN and JP are b- and not doing global releases HellaKek

(tarkov and destiny)

glass monolith

AK has CN server which is original release by hypergryph, then JP/EN release managed by Yostar which is about 6 months behind, then TW server which is closer than it appears in mirror.
Also KR server but i honestly have no idea where those are
