Nah I wasn't present

jovial nest
#

ah

#

lemme check if i can still get that convo chain

vernal lion
jovial nest
#

the start of a long ass convo

#

about AFK tanking

celest bluff
#

Yeah okay

jovial nest
#

oh yeah....

#

RA is the longest map ever

glass monolith
#

1 block tanking is reason 99% of bosses in game is unblockable/2block, arts, also drone

jovial nest
#

at the start of that convo, i was thinking about making my champion Cement, but in the end, it became Hoshi

vernal lion
#

oops

#

I deal too much dmg

#

nevermind

jovial nest
vernal lion
#

burst is easy

glass monolith
vernal lion
#

and I beat it first try... but in practice

glass monolith
#

Oh wait, it is not CM yet... FrankaWheeze

vernal lion
#

yea

neat skiff
vernal lion
#

I ONESHOT IT

#

WTF

gleaming lodge
jovial nest
#

well she had huge potential if we're talking skill activation

neat skiff
#

Where else are you going to have a convo like that. Help?

jovial nest
#

imagine #help doing that convo

#

Also we got the minor interest of Squid, the defender-only

gleaming lodge
#

Everyone has huge tanking potential with 2 buffers

jovial nest
#

what's your take?

#

who would you pick to be the main tank?

gleaming lodge
#

Nian obviously

#

Croissant if the cycle fits

#

But well, not everyone had Nian

jovial nest
#

Nian due to also having skill active?

gleaming lodge
#

Mudrock is they hit slow enough (rarely happens)

#

What ?
Of course I activate skills ?

jovial nest
#

for now I'll use Hoshi. Maybe I'll entertain Nian once i want tanking with skill activations

gleaming lodge
#

Is this a low-step convo ?

#

???

#

Don't tell me you're using Hoshi S2

jovial nest
#

the tanking i need has to be 100% constant uptime

#

for now

#

i don't want a tank stall dying after skill dies down

#

because if that was the case, I'd rather cycle bodies

#

like i used to

gleaming lodge
#

You do now Nian has the same amount of DEF off-skill as Hoshi on S2 right ?

#

If you take the bonus stat when shield breaks for Nian

#

Also, why tf do you need 100% uptime ?

neat skiff
#

Yes. We did do no modules and tier 3 modules.

gleaming lodge
#

Ok so the question is :
Who is the better tank,
Without skill
Without modules

#

Just take a look at raw DEF

#

But again, Croissant wins

#

30 up, 20 down
That should be fine

neat skiff
#

Cement pot 1
3642 hp 688 def
Cement pot 4
3642 hp 815 def
Nian pot 1
4755 hp 796 def before either module.
Hoshi pot 1
3850 hp 1065 def with S2.

gleaming lodge
#

How is that a fair comparison lmao

#

Nian beats Hoshi in DEF

neat skiff
#

You saw the convo. Drop and defend.

#

Cement with module.
3624 hp 788 def
Nian 20% def while blocking
5190 hp 1235 def once all 3 shields are popped.
Nian 4 block
5625 hp 756 def (6183 hp with 3 other defenders deployed)
Hoshi 20% while blocking
4050 hp 1541 def
Hoshi 4 block
3850 hp 1201 def
Hoshi has S2M3 since these are "drop and AFK" numbers.

A different copy paste of numbers from the convo.

gleaming lodge
#

Alright cool

#

Tank with Hoshi ig

#

Still no idea how Cement is relevant here

neat skiff
#

It was the original point of the conversation.

#

Brought about by Cement surviving 3 attacks from Patriot phase 1 and dying on the 4th auto.

#

With S2M3 that is. Conversation then worked around to "drop and afk".

gleaming lodge
#

Yeah ok
I don't even know why I'm talking about this
You all don't understand what tanking actually means

neat skiff
#

I absolutely don't. Especially since I don't run content where it's relevant.

gleaming lodge
#

Alright
Time for me to stop losing time here then

#

@glass monolith

neat skiff
#

Also, get mad at JuSan. I just did numbers and let people at them.

jovial nest
#

I plan to use Hoshi on more than just 1 huge boss OHKO attacking to begin with

#

if its multiple damages at once, or even high ASPD

#

I just consider Hoshi as my pick

#

like, I immediately went all in on Hoshi m3s and mods purely for RA

neat skiff
#

Yeah, my defensive roster is either Saria or Hoshi with 4 block for reflect damage. Though I did enjoy tanking with Skadi and Gladiia.

jovial nest
#

you can only tank so much with AHs either way

#

unless it's also considering Spelter S2

neat skiff
#

That is its own headache inducing thing.

jovial nest
#

AH at least has the advantage of cycling Spelter and Specter's S2s

#

as a form of....sandwich stalling

sly drift
#

Now that you talk about it. I wonder if its possible to sandwich enemy using four ops at a time by shifting enemy slightly to the corner near each 4 tiles. That will be sick lol.

neat skiff
#

Even without shifting blood knight could be tanked by 3 ops at once.

solid dew
jovial nest
#

all 4 are blocking the boss either way if they keep sandwiching it in the very middle

signal lichen
#

yeah cc7 max risk didn't have very many ops at all

#

for i mean max optimization

jovial nest
#

max optimization.....max pots....A LOT OF RNG

#

I mean

#

how many Phantom S3 procs was that?

#

the CORRECT procs

jovial nest
#

a pain in the ass of a gimmick

signal lichen
#

Phantom3* + Ch'en the Holungday3 + Saileach2 + Mountain2 + Nightingale3* + Elysium2 (6 Ops)

jovial nest
#

I'd rather do CC10 max risk again

#

than relive CC7 max risk

neat skiff
signal lichen
#

oh looking over more closely at en rec

#

bagpipe actually can be the 6th over phantom somehow...

sly drift
#

Ah..

neat skiff
#

"Easiest max risk" as if it wasn't still a max risk.

signal lichen
#

yeah

sly drift
#

Easiest max risk is still hard af lol.

signal lichen
#

i am close to the point that i think i have the account to do it

neat skiff
#

"Do I really need max levels?"
"Are you sure?"

signal lichen
#

but yeah

sly drift
neat skiff
#

"I don't have 5 out of 6 of the ops used, what can I substitute?"
"Oh, they're only E1. It will be fine since they're used for *reason I don't actually understand*"

vernal lion
sly drift
neat skiff
#

To be fair, there has been a lot of enemy stat creep.

#

Even now we deal with people with no defenders or medics built relying on op self healing.

signal lichen
#

still a bit surprised at max risk tho chalter was enough for shield on cc7

#

probably because the ones i was borrowing weren't maxed level and maxed pot tbf

  • Depleting Rathalos' tail HP will sever it, causing Rathalos to enter a dazed state for 12 seconds and permanently weakens its Tailspin and Aerial Claw Attack (see below).
  • When dazed, Rathalos is disabled, takes doubled damage, and will be grounded if it is flying (see below), but cannot be blocked.

I burst him 3 times in 3 stages, it's all worked

sly drift
glass monolith
#

And yes i have skill issue with attacking him from right side because attack direction is bugged for some conditions as well as boss ignoring taunt when spinning around to do attacks

#

Chain caster chaining toward mob can just count as attack from behind, event if both caster and chained attack in their face, like holy crap

north widget
#

Ashlock or gummy

cyan gorge
#

In what context? ExuStare

north widget
#

I'm choosing a better defender

#

My choices are gummy cuora and ashlock

cyan gorge
#

Ashlock isn't used to block

north widget
#

What's her use then

cyan gorge
#

Ranged aoe dps

north widget
#

What? Then how is she used

cyan gorge
#

Just as I said

#

she's a dps

#

her block becomes 0 on s2

#

If you want raw tanking, Cuora is better

north widget
#

So I'm sticking with cuora and gummy?

cyan gorge
#

Do you need high def or consistent melee based healing more?

gleaming lodge
#

Gummy is garbage

#

And Cuora is the budget option (don't let old players come about her being great)

eager gate
#

Doesn't she have like a lot more def than Hoshi?

#

Relies on block I guess and doesn't have the rng passive

north widget
cyan gorge
#

The raise Cuora

#

solid defender even in late game

tidal sedge
#

CF-EX-3 CM is killing me

cyan gorge
#

What exactly is killing you?

tidal sedge
#

Top lane

eager gate
#

Or raise Specter
Specter's the best defender in the game for 15 seconds
Also a decent lane holder

cyan gorge
#

I used Gnosis to cover both lanes, otherwise a strong caster aimed at the weak spots would help a lot

daring prawn
#

Cuora E2 is ur best investment

#

4 block bruu

tidal sedge
#

Ok. I have Lin. Or i could use ejya

cyan gorge
#

Eyja

tidal sedge
#

S2 or S3?

cyan gorge

S2 in this case

tidal sedge

Eyja s2 is surprisingly good in this event

I used Lisk and Pallas Bnuuy

Was told to use S2 lol

Ive been neglecting leveling defenders

cyan gorge
#

You don't need Lisk, Mud would be better here

I also found Firewhistle to be really good there, since her burn tiles ignore the damage reduction

you build liskarm for utility not for the best tanking

but ye cycle isnt the best on her I know

Cuora is just not that good

You all need to understand that

cyan gorge
#

Bad cycle but as new player with very little in the way of resources and high rarity options, Cuora pretty solid RosChill

gleaming lodge
#

Yes you've used her a lot, and you like her

#

But when you actually need to tank, you need bigger guns

halcyon adder

#

Lol

the thing is people always call cuora a good tank at a budget option but i never see anyone take her to the investment to make her actually get near hoshi lol

Base setup for beginner in RA please, for survive the second raid

glass monolith

You can fight raids outside base you know. Also lose is still exp for unlocking more material starts and other fun stuff.... Also raids are randomed so i don't even know which raid you refer to HellaKek

deft badger
#

btw did install bluestacks on my main pc today, and RA base still lags 😂

#

on a 3k rig

glass monolith
#

My base lags and i filled only 50% of walls i planned HellaKek

deft badger
#

lol

lethal dragon
#

For me lag only occurs during boss raids

deft badger
#

it lags on a i9-13900kf with rtx4090

#

gpu shouldn't matter i think but cpu does, my brain kinder does tell me in theory it shouldn't lag but it still does when i move

lethal dragon

ok i don't lag that hard xD

I swear to God, these boar

aaa use that

the moment u see it pass on the left side plant them on the exit

they have been useful in on that map

It's just for the boar believe me HellaKek

humble fern
#

o ye i used them a lot for that map esp.

#

the boar deserves my dp

glass monolith
#

"How much boar"
"1 boar"
"Flashbang it"

deft badger
#

just the moment u see it go down to the exit on the right side u can place it, it charges up fast

#

then just texas it

boreal magnet
#

I'll try

#

The early rush kinda make my decision making get f'ed

deft badger

flashbang birds, shock the pig

vapid shell

@vernal lion hows that module that offers more map vision in RA named?

#

sorry for @

birds come with the blashbang cd on the left side 2 of them

just flash them there to lose the stone

deft badger
#

i spend a lot of sanity pods

I haven't seen him while doing that map, maybe he is behind hidden wall or he happens based on tower location rng

that one is unlucky thing

glass monolith
#

I had triple thunder overlap on operator who tanks 2, so at this point it is not luck but statistics

deft badger
#

feeling so stupid playing this, its like the entry lvl for the game is "M.Eng."
otherwise don't even bother trying

glass monolith
#

M.Eng is when you start mods HellaKek

it's just many things are poorly explained in-game

I'm fine

u are actually fine

#

did u borrow texas again?

#

a s2 texas

glass monolith
#

How the fuck you cut that tail out PhantomUtae

boreal magnet
#

Yes s2 it shred him into oblivion

deft badger
#

u could let him live for startes place mountain

vernal lion
deft badger
#

just let him walk so that he doesn't spit fire on u, u have plenty of time to kill him

#

he even goes to sleep 😄

boreal magnet
#

Ain't no way I'm doing this

boreal magnet
deft badger
#

is that eyja?

boreal magnet
deft badger
#

the caster in ur team?

boreal magnet
deft badger
#

i think u can do ultimate as well, if u vulcano him 3 times

boreal magnet
#

Those boars are nightmare, until I realize they going left and right for some time

deft badger
#

they just run left right and do nothing

boreal magnet
deft badger
#

has more hp

#

but when it comes to ads ultimate is easier

boreal magnet
#

Please don't tell me there's more boar

dry skiff
#

Okay
Theres no more boar

boreal magnet
#

Oh that's sounds doable

glass monolith
#

S-1 enemies is sorta disappoinint CeobeConfused

deft badger
#

ultimate

dry skiff
#

Most shit are a disappointment

boreal magnet
#

I'll wait for sanity and try

#

Super Saiyan Blue Nearl

deft badger
#

u can eyja vulcano him 3 times should be able to do, last when he goes to sleep

boreal magnet
deft badger
#

i hope that gets u the kill actually

turbid badge
#

qhay

vapid shell
#

I mean this

boreal magnet
#

I can't burst that thing since doesn't really have that much boss killer. But I think I get the idea

deft badger
#

no he is not he stops there anyway

boreal magnet
#

I thought it was some reference

deft badger
#

u can do 2 times eyja for sure

#

1st turn and last turn

#

then he gos to the right side of the map

#

and sleeps there when u are done with ads u switch over

#

u can setup 3rd vulcano there u have time as much u want

vernal lion
# vapid shell yes

you craft 2 monitoring tower lv2 and put it in the node that you want to expand the vision from that point

deft badger
#

he sleeps till u punch him

boreal magnet
boreal magnet
#

I never been on second phase on the map before

deft badger
#

well starting i would do the same i did, just something to kill the little guys

#

then remove them leave him on low hp and place eyja in the corner

#

1 turn earlier then i did

#

he makes 3 turns around the map then leaves to the other part

#

to get her ready again for his 3rd u have to atk him in the first

#

so just leave him 1 hit so that she can punch him and push in p2 flash the moment he gets up vuclano texas yato

#

then take care about ads last turn place her again there, do the same with vulcano and then just focus on not leaking till he leaves

#

the moment he is gone to the right side of the map u can place 2-3 ops to def just spawnkill them

#

after u are done u will be moved to the right side of the map

boreal magnet
#

The ads wasn't really a thread in this ultimate so far I see

pallid veldt
#

whats an ad

#

like adversary?

boreal magnet
vapid shell
#

additional* mobs, perhaps

pallid veldt
#

o

deft badger
#

add/trash everything that is running around and doesn't have any purpose then preventing u from getting to point A
but good question lol

#

i don't know even after playing 10 years wow and using the term on a daily base

#

i just know what it refers to

#

ok its actually written add

deft badger
dry skiff
#

So basically trash mobs

deft badger
#

considering eyjas redeployment time, u can atk one time when he does the first one and 3rd

boreal magnet
#

Ahh I see, so in turn 2 and 3 I have to make sure that eyja is ready to burst

#

Along with yato and texas

glass monolith
#

Why event "shop" is 5 defender chips LappDumb

deft badger
# dry skiff So basically trash mobs

yes, in a raid we call all of them adds or trash they are just there to prevent u from getting to the boss or add in the fight when u battle the boss
i think in every mmorpg its the same

boreal magnet
#

Like what's the point

deft badger
#

so that u have to buy the pack!

glass monolith
#

Well boost to me building Firewhistle

boreal magnet
deft badger
#

when she came out we have been 2 days away from chips for her

#

and i was able to e2 her but didn't have the normal chips -.-

boreal magnet

I also had to wait until the stages open again to e2 her

deft badger
#

well i didn't they baited hardLappDumb

yea

timid acorn
#

my strategy barely made it in time so I'm curious how other people do itRedOmegaLul

vernal lion
#

clearing this out is just in time

timid acorn
#

RedOmegaLul I only have one screenshot and it doesnt show the whole map

#

but it took 5 gathering hubs of each tier 3 refreshing potions and a full 12 op

#

can probably optimize it though and the weather messed me up a bit

#

the key is basically to unlock the top secret area as fast as possible

sonic willow
#

wait what

#

I thought you can only deploy 3 of the gatherers at once FiaDed

sonic willow
timid acorn
#

you can deploy more

sonic willow
#

how did you get the isolated iron at top left

vernal lion
#

yea

#

oh btw

#

the game only let you bring at max 10 gatherers

#

from 1 tier

sonic willow
#

10 is crazy 💀

timid acorn
# sonic willow what did you use there

Młynar with 50% dmg food fully charged and refreshing potion bursts down the access to the secret area and Qiubai also with 50% damage food bursts down the isolated iron ore in 2 cycles one of which is boosted by another refreshing potion

#

then just collect it with the remaining ops you bring

sonic willow
#

ohhh alright

timid acorn
#

you can probably let Młynar do both if you bring the escape crane

turbid badge
#

bro ngl

#

i forgot bagpipe existed

bc i never use vg in such a long time

I either dont bring one

or its myrtle/ely for RA or if its anni i use flametail s1💀

how do i beat ex-8 cm before rathalos wipes my whole ass team

#

i need suran

#

that wasnt too bad

flat sapphire
# worthy ermine man

Alternatively u can just not spawncamp and kill him on the next map instead. Spam wirebugs to kill adds

vapid shell
#

How do i upgrade nodes to outposts in RA?

flat sapphire
#

It probably needs to be alive by the time ur finish but I'm not sure

vapid shell
#

Isn’t that a different type of Node?

flat sapphire
#

Ur trying to unlock the very last upgrades for vision, right?

vapid shell
#

It’s worded that way. Vision thingies give Sentry

#

I need not last upgrades

#

I know how to open them*

flat sapphire
#

Eh idk then sry

vapid shell
#

Ah Tis fine

#

No worries

#

I need those at the start. Outposts’s the name

worthy ermine
#

but unfortunately phase 1 dies not on purpose, and phase 2 just wipes the whole team

timid acorn
worthy ermine
#

so the most effective way is to just kill it the moment he wakes up

Frigging hate ths cm.
CF-EX-4

The birbs are bullshit

#

hmm no

#

but its whatever

#

already done with the event

#

exu lowkey a beast though

tidal sedge
#

Im stuck on EX4s Challenge Mode

worthy ermine
#

which one was that

#

the one with a lot of birds?

#

you could borrow a texalter or something, makes quick work of them

#

she insta dies when deployed but also stuns the birds which makes them lose the rocks

#

and very big aoe damage

flat sapphire
#

Bring flash also

tidal sedge
worthy ermine
#

or just do that yea

#

the mvp of that stage for me was lin

tidal sedge
#

Really?

#

Hmm

worthy ermine
#

you'll struggle with the last wave which has hordes of birds

#

you might not kill them in time since you need aoe

#

lin does okayish damage to get rid of them, has true aoe, can tank their hits without a healer and for some reason her s3 has a stun (rng)

#

which helps a bit

tidal sedge
#

I dont have her S3

worthy ermine
#

not e2?

#

that stage is an aoe check so anyone can work really

tidal sedge
#

Nope

worthy ermine
timid acorn
#

S3 triggers her talent on enemy kills

worthy ermine
#

ic

timid acorn
#

and her talent stuns

tidal sedge
#

Had to borrow a Kiyato to do NM

worthy ermine
#

cool

#

i dont really use lin but figured she'd be good for this map in specific

tidal sedge
#

Ill give it a shot even with s2

#

This is what im trying to field

#

Plus a support which im not sure who to grab here

#

Mud and Meteorite are for bottom lane

worthy ermine
#

give lin a try

tidal sedge
#

Swap eyja?

#

Or borrow an e2 Lin

worthy ermine
#

is eyja on the isolated middle tile?

#

thats where lin goes

worthy ermine
tidal sedge
#

So right in the middle?

worthy ermine
#

yes

tidal sedge
#

👍

worthy ermine
#

and make use of the flash grenade

tidal sedge
#

Actualy in nm i had her top right next to spawn

worthy ermine
#

damn you are not ready for ex 7 cm SkadiDaijoubu

#

if you're skilled enough you can solo it with surtr

#

but it will give you some trouble

tidal sedge
#

Ok Lin was the right call tysm

worthy ermine
#

linning everywhere

tidal sedge
#

Oh.

Thats just rude. CF-EX5...

tidal sedge

Don't have her

#

Or if I do she's not raised

tidal sedge

Took out the guy right up top with texalter, texas og on the front most top tile, myrtle anywhere bottom, kal on one of the bottom two ranged tiles with monst3er facing left, mountain near the blue box, SA and FW behind Texas with Perfurmer and Eyja. If you thing whomever you put near the goal is about to get overrun, switch to a defender (coura, beagle, etc)

#

That's not reallly clear, sorry

Im not sure who to replace FW with or borrow
