strategy

[jovial nest]

Kristen and Mama's "Rebel Girl" i kinda like

[near folio]

And Roberta seems good at cheesing those mechanics

[neat skiff]

Defenders are worth building past E1 max now.

[jovial nest]

they make you need to do some chores to make shit easier for you

[neat skiff]

The game is over 4 years old. They're going to have some fun with mechanics.

[cosmic thicket]

really? mudrock splitbox on mire tile still goes hard af

[near folio]

I do have a problem with EX-8 CM though, the stat inflation makes the lightsaber guys the real threats

[neat skiff]

Hence chapter 3 to 9 is a very rude awakening while 3 to 4 is much smoother.

[jovial nest]

theyve been threats for a while already

the red ones

[near folio]

Mandragora might still be the strongest boss in the game mechanics wise

[jovial nest]

i agree there

she can counter her weakness

[near folio]

I still havent seen any bosses that can top mandra's raw power

[neat skiff]

Yeet them.

[cosmic thicket]

dazmati?

[near folio]

Havent tried chapter 12 yet

[neat skiff]

You’re told directly that shifting them makes them take a boat load of damage.

[cosmic thicket]

dazmati is uhh
a boss of all time

[near folio]

My conscience stops me from using weedy

[neat skiff]

Ok, what about everyone else?

[jovial nest]

there's not enough of them for me to need to bring one specifically

[near folio]

I like using bruteforce strats even in challenge runs

Gives me a real time malding

[jovial nest]

thats why i just let balls do the work

against lightsabers

[near folio]

But its satisfying when I finally pull it off

[neat skiff]

Don’t want to use specialists? Defenders and guards can shift as well.

[near folio]

Because it really feels like the struggle to beat the stage

[jovial nest]

imagine if these 2 tagteamed

[near folio]

To get a nice clear

[cosmic thicket]

[jovial nest]

a Poison Haze map with those DP-draining machines

and ballistas

[cosmic thicket]

someone made this meme about dazmati's abilities and it's amazing

[neat skiff]

The "meme" is just the enemy description?

[cosmic thicket]

yes

[near folio]

Its to address how long the bosses' bucket list of abilities have become these days

[neat skiff]

...

[crisp bolt]

still doesn't beat the base one

[cosmic thicket]

this

[neat skiff]

How incredibly uncreative...

[near folio]

I feel bosses like Manfred and Emperor's Blade hit the sweet spot for the perfect boss design though

They are challenging for the right reasons

Especially if you dont nuke them

And take time to let them cook

[neat skiff]

So you're mad because Manfred and Emperors blade don't talk about the specifics of their abilities?

Because there is a bunch of stuff in both bosses where not mentioned mechanics are exploited.

While Dzamati is actually fully laid out with zero ambiguity.

[cosmic thicket]

who's mad lmao

[near folio]

What's not explained for Emperor's Blade?

For Manfred I can understand they left out the cannon

[neat skiff]

His fart mechanic.

[cosmic thicket]

EB fart also reduces aspd of enemies

[jovial nest]

i guess for EB, they didn't mention the cap of how many fogs can be in the map in total?

[neat skiff]

Like how you get 3 farts on 1 op.

[cyan gorge]

Endspeaker when you don't bring Gnosis

[near folio]

I think the game didnt see the need to reveal that info the the player

[neat skiff]

Or you don't get any farts on a map.

[near folio]

EB wasnt intended to be fought with stuff like heavyrain etc

At least that was what the devs had in their thought process

[neat skiff]

Ok. So what is the problem then? Dzamati sould cut down the text by 2/3, not explain anything and wait for players to figure it out.

[near folio]

No I didnt mean text wise

[neat skiff]

The "meme" is about the text.

[near folio]

I just meant that EB and Manfred felt like perfectly balanced bosses for the state of the game

[neat skiff]

Once you know how Dzamati works it's just a block count simulator.

The entire thing the chapter has been drilling into you.

But one gets a lazy as fuck "meme" but the rest get a pass.

[eager turtle]

on CW-10, if the switch is up, and i put then facing upwards, i don't get atk spd?

[neat skiff]

Gravity needs to be up.

[cosmic thicket]

make sure someone isn't already holding down

[neat skiff]

^

the switch being up and gravity being up are 2 different things.

[near folio]

I think its how the community perceives it, like the dropping 3 farts on 1 op looks more like a clever trick than an unexplained exploit to the playerbase

Meanwhile for Damatzi Cluster I think people are just mad that it gets so many abilities

[neat skiff]

They don't though. Especially with exploiters.

They have 3 things. an auto attack with corrosive. A cast, and a health gated invuln.

[near folio]

Exploiters are always gonna find ways to break bosses but the general playerbase reception to Damatzi probably isnt nice

I havent played chap 12 yet so im not sure of the full picture

[neat skiff]

Yeah, global gonna global.

[cosmic thicket]

idk i thought dazmati was actually fine

[neat skiff]

They're very much fine.

[cosmic thicket]

H stages actually feeling like H stages is welcome

[near folio]

And when people feel negative about something they are gonna post degratory stuff about it

[neat skiff]

CN thought they were fine.

Meanwhile CN is actually stressing about CH 13.

[neat skiff]

Trying to find exploits.

[near folio]

Cant imagine what lies in chap 13 when you need someone as op as Hoederer as the new operator

[neat skiff]

Hoederer isn't even the best. That is Puzzle S2.

[cosmic thicket]

ch13 doesn't look too bad it's just making sure you kill the things away from the altar range when possible

and time the bombs well

[near folio]

But aside from Mandragora, season 3 of Arknights has produced pretty good bosses so far

H9-6 is the only stage that felt unfair

[neat skiff]

Mandra isn't even the worst tbh.

H9-6 was worse without the ops released afterwards.

[near folio]

The issue with Mandra in H9-6 is that she has no weaknesses, its one of the only stages where the only option is to bruteforce it

[neat skiff]

H9-6 with Typhon S2 is a joke.

[near folio]

Sure mandra is easy if you bruteforce her with meta ops

[neat skiff]

Is this another challenge run?

[near folio]

But if you dont do that H9-6 is a nightmare

[near folio]

Of course it is

[neat skiff]

Because some of the most popular strats are "have her drop a pillar on herself".

[cosmic thicket]

i mean there are no standout weaknesses but there is a killgate

[neat skiff]

Ok, fair point.

[cosmic thicket]

what's the challenge

[near folio]

Yes but you can only make her drop one pillar on herself if you want to set up in the middle

[near folio]

1-2 old 6 star units

And a generally balanced team

[cosmic thicket]

no restrictions on the rest?

[neat skiff]

Setting up in the middle requires many meta 6 stars.

[cosmic thicket]

and define old

[neat skiff]

Like, it is legit one of the hardest but most braindead strats.

[near folio]

You just break the two pillars in the middle early on and you have an ifrit lane in the middle

But that is two blocks gone that mandra could smash on herself

[near folio]

Release ops

[jovial nest]

and yet a complete monster has 1P'd it now

[neat skiff]

E2L90 Ifrit can't handle much. CH9 is RES heavy.

[jovial nest]

or Silvergun has <10 ops 4* cleared it too

[cosmic thicket]

ifrit does have her debuff though

[neat skiff]

On S3.

[near folio]

S3 burns them up quite well

[cosmic thicket]

and her talent

[neat skiff]

Yes, hello. I did the strat. I know exactly how much she handles.

[near folio]

The problem with 4 star clears is that it requires specific combos nowadays, and there are even some more ridiculous ones like Ethan strats

[jovial nest]

no ethan there

[neat skiff]

I gave up and added in 6 more E2L70+ ops to help her get past enemy 30.

[jovial nest]

it was the usual Silvergun special

the usual Cutter and usual Pinecone

[cosmic thicket]

ethan is ridiculous?

[near folio]

I guess using Ethan is smart

[neat skiff]

S2M3 = 84% bind chance with tier 3 module.

[near folio]

But having to build Ethan just to clear some stages

[cosmic thicket]

unless you're going for like 20 binds in a row you're just using him to make sure the enemies don't move very much

[neat skiff]

I'm still waiting for Ethans skin to come back to CC shop.

[jovial nest]

ah yes... S2M3 Mod lvl 3 Ethan...

[near folio]

Might just be an account issue on my part

Most of my all rounders are 6 stars which I banned myself from using

[neat skiff]

Sorry, he isn’t a defender.

[near folio]

And most of my 5 and 4 stars only fill one or two roles each

[weak gazelle]

hmm
it took 10 slot for normal one
seem hard for cm with 10 slot (and more step to do)

[near folio]

I still havent built cutter yet

[vernal lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbsZPoDTh_A&ab_channel=ZPKF

[near folio]

I only built 6 star strikers

For 5 stars only lappland is built

But I should build more offensive powerhouses like Cutter

[cosmic thicket]

what's lapp's purpose

[neat skiff]

Didn’t you say you have been playing for 3.5 years?

[cosmic thicket]

evidently she's not there to silence kristen phase 2

[near folio]

For most of my time I got by with the ops I built

It just takes a bit more malding not having many solo laneholders when it comes to challenge runs

[weak gazelle]

hmm?
to kill ball and rocket thingy

[near folio]

Trying to squeeze out all the tile value I can get from my dps

[cosmic thicket]

oh wait when are u killing phase 1

[near folio]

Probably after all the other mobs are dead no?

[weak gazelle]

kill kristen last
clean small fry first (both phase)

[near folio]

Lappland kills the rockets fast enough?

I remember at one point two rockets will stack together

[cosmic thicket]

if that's so then just stall until 2 right balls are gone, then use tequila reflect for one and april for the other

[weak gazelle]

with help of slow from greyyter and leizi

[near folio]

Oh I see

[cosmic thicket]

then kill kristen + balls at the same time

[near folio]

How do you handle the wave of lightsabers on the left then?

[weak gazelle]

greyyter+nearl+teq

[near folio]

Isnt ur greyyter on the right?

[cosmic thicket]

he's rotated there i assume

[near folio]

I guess teq can handle it on normal

[weak gazelle]

i juggle them all the time

[near folio]

For CM the biggest concern is that stat inflation

Even my Saria with a healer dies to two saber guys

Saria S1M3 with module

[weak gazelle]

ohh 2 ball can gone?

[near folio]

Stall her long enough and this happens

[cosmic thicket]

if you stall long enough the right 2 balls disappear

[weak gazelle]

how long?

[near folio]

10 mins?

Maybe

[weak gazelle]

need kristen reach p2?

[cosmic thicket]

they are also added to the enemy counter so you get 61/59 enemies

[near folio]

No need

[cosmic thicket]

999 seconds according to arknights map

[weak gazelle]

ohh that became way easier then

[near folio]

Thats close to 17 mins

[cosmic thicket]

at 1x speed yeah

[near folio]

Oh right there is 2x

Well no big deal

Ive stalled Steam Knight for 22 mins in real time before

[cosmic thicket]

yeah u have a stable stall setup already

[weak gazelle]

the problem is the balls
thats it

[near folio]

The stat inflation will probably force you to change some setups

[cosmic thicket]

wait

[near folio]

Especially when it comes to the lightsabers

[cosmic thicket]

yeah i think you just need someone to perma try killing a ball

[weak gazelle]

if 2 gone then everything easy
idc about lightsaber they are weak

[cosmic thicket]

bc 4 balls gives kristen block 5

[deft badger]

dude i am going madddd with this map xD

[cosmic thicket]

does croissant have block 4 mod or +20% def

[weak gazelle]

yes she block 4

[tidal sedge]

4 block

[cosmic thicket]

ic

[weak gazelle]

a lot of way to kill lightsaber

[near folio]

Hmm just make sure your tequila doesnt die himself

[weak gazelle]

i can just perma shift them for example

[near folio]

I have both warf and saria try to heal teq but he still dies in first lightsaber rush

[weak gazelle]

feater+greyyter would happily toying them

[near folio]

I guess

That reminds me I need to raise my Enforcer

[cosmic thicket]

how dumb is it to use liskarm batteried by the crossroads to feed feater or enforcer SP

[near folio]

Its not dumb

[glass monolith]

JUST DO IT

[cosmic thicket]

the biggest issue is keeping her alive since she's taking 225 arts damage every 0.6 seconds

[weak gazelle]

enforcer need sp batteries
17 sp are not friendly

while feater not needed (15 sp)

[near folio]

Do you have to use the equipment to make the strat work?

[cosmic thicket]

oh does the 2 sp actually make that big of a difference

i see

[near folio]

Or is push force 3 enough?

[cosmic thicket]

you're not pushing the balls though are you

[weak gazelle]

it is
feater s2 range are huge

while enforcer so tiny

[near folio]

Enforcer has stun though

Its easy to trigger his double stuns since the lightsabers come together with the shield guys

[weak gazelle]

enforcer deal no dmg with skill

[near folio]

I dont think feater damage matters that much

You the lightsabers take damage from getting pushed

[cosmic thicket]

yeah idk if the issue is damage

[near folio]

Feater damage def doesnt matter when it takes a full charge tequila around 10 slashes to kill one guy

[weak gazelle]

yeah dmg was not the matter
it just range that matter

[deft badger]

f- u game xD

[weak gazelle]

i dont push ball

[near folio]

The ball does nothing in the stage anyways

If you play correctly they are just roadblocks

[weak gazelle]

well i guess will try nightmare+feater
been a long time since i use her

[glass monolith]

Let Karen lock top left ball and play with down gravity or bottom left and play with UP gravity

[jovial nest]

have you tried....putting down the statues?

[near folio]

Honestly for me I just want to make a Rhine lab family vs Kristen

[glass monolith]

Warf Shamare Stainless not Rhine

[deft badger]

dp wasn't my problem... its just the amount of adds rushing

and big dudes taking 0 dmg cc everything in their way

[jovial nest]

just use Penance on the boss's lane

[deft badger]

but they got ccd now by qb and spalter

[near folio]

Something like this for EX-8 CM

I know this team can do it

I gotten close once

[glass monolith]

"CM" - 3 tanks and Tequila.
Fuck this shit i'm out

[deft badger]

3 hours of my life to kill 3 crushers

[near folio]

Causally redeploying 99 dp defenders

[vernal lion]

I will make Lee kill Kristen with ball in EX-8

[near folio]

And 60 dp tequila

[glass monolith]

You ready for PO

[deft badger]

what PO?

[near folio]

Ok but Teq starts off at 30 dp to handle the first lightsaber rush

So its fine

[glass monolith]

POO

You know shit we have at start of december

[deft badger]

still no idea what u are talking about 😄

wasn't in the game last dec

[glass monolith]

This december

[near folio]

POO

Looks like I have to play with my meta ops again

[deft badger]

ah i thought every dec there is something nvm i took heavy brain dmg

[glass monolith]

I will link you video in #arknights to keep this chat clear

[vernal lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uwCuuGc7jE&ab_channel=jwwwun

[near folio]

I feel EB was the first time they truly solved a boss getting trivialised by meta ops

Then it never happened again

Because all our meta ops now are crazy

[glass monolith]

Everyone: Explodes
Mlynar: F- fridays

[near folio]

Really crazy that it just takes Pozemka one skill to kill bosses like phase 2 mandra

[deft badger]

@glass monolith isn't that the CC replacement thing? the video u send right now

[neat skiff]

How have you been playing for 3.5 years yet have not kept up with anything past the first 6 months?

[deft badger]

pinch out or whats it even called

[glass monolith]

Yes. And we have this autism in half-month + all dead weeks we get

POO - Pinch Out Operation

[near folio]

Im just weird in a sense that I like to give my enemies a chance to cook

Its not satisfying if I end the match in an instant

[neat skiff]

Gurl, the stat creep is real.

Good fucking luck.

[deft badger]

btw SN rerun + gladiia record restoration
+exe

[near folio]

And ive been keeping up

I have Mlynar, NTR, Surtr etc

[glass monolith]

woops i droped my M9 gladiia

[near folio]

Only meta op im missing is kal tsit

[vernal lion]

POO - Pretty Overpower Operation

[near folio]

And chalter

But nowadays even chalter damage is getting laughed on

[deft badger]

[glass monolith]

Ceobe Paradox 2

[deft badger]

ahh yes and this xD oo i am happy about Dec

[vernal lion]

you deserve another Vigil pot

[deft badger]

hahahaha

[near folio]

At least I was smart enough to P6 Gladiia during UT

I took a break from the game right when SN started so I have Pot 1 Lumen

[vernal lion]

the difference between pot 1 lumen and pot 0 lumen

[near folio]

About that Vigil pot

[vernal lion]

nani?

[near folio]

Welfareknights looking real interesting with the new Lessing Operator

We finally getting a good dps duelist

[vernal lion]

we have a free anti-cc-effect op

[deft badger]

well i started playing in the last week of SN it was more do i take all the mats or do i take all pots of lumen
then they did drop gladiia after that and yes it was again the same struggle take mats focus on farming other stuff skip that one pot but i did push in those 4 weeks 5 ops to e2 so i don't care
nearly even skiped SN because i spend 2 weeks rolling accounts lol (started with spalter, gnosis, thorns selector pack, surtr, weedy, saga, exu)

[near folio]

Quite strong for helping new players clear Frostnova and Talulah

Taking 600 arts damage is nothing if you become immune to freeze for such a long time

Against newer bosses is questionable but can still use as dps helidrop with S2 moduled

Just a shame he doesnt have fast redeploy passive

[vernal lion]

the clear that took 100 luck to clear

[glass monolith]

NOW FIX ALL THAT ICE

Why did you even break it

[vernal lion]

dude these roadblocks suck

they died to 1 hit

unlike Yumen roadblock

[eager gate]

Yumen roadblocks live for 10 years then 1 stealthy boy fucking 2taps them

and keeps walkin

[lusty snow]

Hey ho. Getting a little stumped on EX-7 CM, wondering if y'all had some tips for the stage.

[eager gate]

I already forgot what 7 looks like

[lusty snow]

Base stage was fairly easily dropkicked at the choke, but the CM says "no, stop that"

[eager gate]

Oh

I just put Eyja and Pramanix here, Gladia s3 right under them to deal with fat boys when they come

the rest isn't scary at all

[lusty snow]

okay let's assume I don't have either Gladiia or Pramanix raised

the idea is slapping a lot of hits there to lower def, or are you actually killing them there?

[peak cloak]

u can do a choke hold. that stage is kinda easy, consider borrowing a Mlynar?

[crisp bolt]

Use the rat

[versed spire]

Exu

[crisp bolt]

Aak the rat

[eager gate]

They all actually die right there, in CM just for safety I added Surt
Pink is Surt, Blue is Gladia, White is Skadi, red is Eyja, green is Pram

like 1 or 2 will survive with some hp(or not) depending on Eyja

and Pram

I probably have to note that I ran 2 flags to set this up before they appear

Gladia mod plays a very important role cause it's amazing at reducing res stacks

[glass monolith]

#strategy message Suffering of people who can't just S1L7 Rope bottom or what?

[waxen swan]

That u ?

[eager gate]

I mean
it's not really suffering if I clear it all in 1 look at the map and 1 actual attempt

I'll have to go back to this map later for niche clear probably, tho

[peak cloak]

also, what ops u have?

[glass monolith]

Top left is La Pluma check on CM

[eager gate]

Does she manage to kill jet bois before they fly away?

[glass monolith]

You guys don't press UP?

[eager gate]

I don't remember ngl

probably didn't since I member that I picked em off with sniper

[deft badger]

now this...

-.-

[glass monolith]

Imagine Sora Module will make her regain 100% SP on skill end

[cyan gorge]

Infinite sleep

[tidal sedge]

Hm. Hall of Stasis 100% allows Phantom s3 to push balls

That'll be nice

[inland fern]

i hate 2-3

no matter how i try they always push through

[versed spire]

Borrow penance

[merry narwhal]

melee operators are pretty good at blocking enemies so they cannot move to the blue box

[glass monolith]

You can use suzu at bottom left to kill shield boys, other enemies have less physical DEF, use medics where needed

[inland fern]

i know dude
they are all dead

[little ravine]

does the signal blocker equipment +30% dmg stack with suzuran talent ?

[merry narwhal]

are your units all level 1? Noir Corne at e0-30 and full trust was enough for me

[inland fern]

all are level 30-45

[versed spire]

you don't have single e1?

[inland fern]

besides tsuki and beehunter
they are fillers

[inland fern]

what's that

[merry narwhal]

try combining a single target dps with an AoE one like 12F or Lava

[glass monolith]

Promotion level, first one is relatively cheap and can be done without additional grinding for 3* rarity operators

[versed spire]

Upgrade your 3 stars before fighting stages like this at all

[merry narwhal]

also your defender died before you ever deployed a medic

open with 3 road blocks + Kroos into Cuora into medic into 12F/Lava

then you can deploy more dps

your roadblock setup is good

[glass monolith]

Alot of early stages has gimmick of having issues with different solution being on different lanes allowing to efficiently kill them with right placement

[deft badger]

wow NG can't heal the gas lol

even with 40% dmg reduction she dies to it

+100 atk speed

[inland fern]

somehow managed it through

all hail melantha
best operator in the game just look at that 408 atk

[glass monolith]

If it works it is valid solution to whatever you did

[inland fern]

i brought a support operator and placed units with highest atk

[glass monolith]

Vanguard texas

[versed spire]

Sss?

[deft badger]

now i don't need a heal

xDD

nah she heals now did have to give her a bit more atk

lol

but she died again at the end

will do the boss later when i figure out how to heal this... -.-

i gave her 30% dmg res 40 atk speed 40 dmg and she still dies at the end

[glass monolith]

Are you sure fog is arts?

[deft badger]

seems like it

she takes less when i use her ulty

i am at the boss but i don't know what to do if she dies xD

but i don't remember that it was hard to heal

if i kill them fast she could make it

[versed spire]

Ng does fine even with just 4x atk speed

[deft badger]

on hard?

[versed spire]

Yes

[deft badger]

well she died

e2l70 m3 mod3

[versed spire]

Weird

[deft badger]

i don't care actually i can kill adds fast and remove all the ops let the boss leak

and i have the medal xD

[versed spire]

You are using abbysals buff?...

[deft badger]

does it look like i don't 😄

[versed spire]

No wonder ng dies

[deft badger]

what do u mean?

[versed spire]

You should just simply use 3rd device

[deft badger]

if it works only with 3rd device then i am going to call the mode a fail xD

offer 3 devices but its just doable with the 3rd one lol

since ur team is going to die to gas

[versed spire]

I haven't tried coz I don't care i finished sss yesterday never gonna touch it again

[turbid badge]

3rd device is just to easy

[versed spire]

I just said easy way if you just want medal

[deft badger]

what does it even do?

[turbid badge]

yea … eirher that or just kill boss faster/bring more medics

[deft badger]

i didn't even try the boss, have to lower my sanity but my ng keeps dying at stage 5

[versed spire]

Because if you only bring nightingale without 3rd device she can't do shit

Bring saria at least

[deft badger]

should actually try without the dmg reduction

give her just atk speed and dmg

i don't know why she even drops that hard, AH don't lose hp at all she does they did have 50% dmg reduction she 30%

[versed spire]

It's poison

Its true dmg

If you think it's arts

[turbid badge]

kinda scatt try

wow without usibf the ball

scary

[versed spire]

Balls op

[glass monolith]

If you love balls you will love IC rerun

But before that: AAAHAHAHAHAHA

And killing boss with roomba

[wintry hinge]

is that a good strat to anni 19
i will additionally use
texalter
nearlter
yalter
texas
myrthle

[versed spire]

Should be fine

[soft crystal]

The sss toewers are mreant to be played with the third device.

Their unique ones .

The gimmicks play with it well making it a lot easier

[tidal sedge]

Which is probably why the missions for the other 2 devices give more rewards

Somewhat more awkward, so more reward for using them

[soft crystal]

10 stacking Chonyue and mlynar is fun

[versed spire]

Well he thinks if not all devices work for maps it's failed mode

[tropic valve]

yeah 10 stacking is really fun

[soft crystal]

Ah device is poorly designed if you ask me

[tropic valve]

the cc device is ok, not that huge

[tidal sedge]

AH device annoys me ye

[tropic valve]

AH is once again the weakest

[tidal sedge]

I don't care for fish comp

[soft crystal]

I do have all AH available

[tropic valve]

AH is slightly better in Mama John

since you can mix melee and ranged

so your Andreana gets more value

[soft crystal]

My andreana not built

😔

[tropic valve]

blasphemous

My andreana is not built

[tidal sedge]

It's also kinda dumb that folks who don't happen to have one AH op can't do one of the missions

[soft crystal]

How many do you need?

[tropic valve]

you can borrow

[soft crystal]

2 at least?

[tidal sedge]

2 at least, and you can only borrow 1 op

[soft crystal]

Can borrow 1 and use unbuilt skadi thats been covered in dust ezpz

Isnt also

[tidal sedge]

Skadi is in Kernel now, so fat chance of that for newer folks

[soft crystal]

Gladia really cklose to becoming

Available anytime now?

Record restoration for UT soon

[tidal sedge]

Yeah it'll be fixed then, but not now

[turbid badge]

glaadia free soon

lol

[cyan gorge]

I borrowed Spalter and brought e1 Gladiia and cleared that mission fine

[turbid badge]

cant u just borrw

[soft crystal]

wheres the10 stack schwarz.

[tropic valve]

I only did 8 stack Schwarz

I run SpecA

[soft crystal]

U failed me

[tropic valve]

[soft crystal]

[tropic valve]

maybe I need to cope specB

just to experience 10 stack Schwarz

would be a little overkill lmao

[soft crystal]

Put in def A so she can even tank

[tropic valve]

TRUE

[tidal sedge]

Was Gladiia free last SSS season

[soft crystal]

Honestly Raythean sss tower was so bland and boring

[glass monolith]

????

[soft crystal]

[tidal sedge]

The 2 AH mission was around last season

If Gladiia were free at the time I wouldn't find it so dumb.

[versed spire]

Why was it dumb you could always borrow gladiia

[tidal sedge]

You need 2 AH ops, you can only borrow 1 op. So you need to own at least 1 other AH op. Gladiia had yet to be in record restore last month. What is so hard to understand about this

[versed spire]

I mean specter and andreana 5 stars

[glass monolith]

Took me just 1.5 years to get Specter

[versed spire]

Skill issue

That's why it's just mission not medal or anything

[cyan gorge]

Just do the mission when Gladiia comes back

they aren't going anywhere yet

[deft badger]

next brain dmg

[glass monolith]

Bruh i hate how balls go in direction your idiots face. And Beanstalk summon is hardcoded to look left

[deft badger]

did u spark her?

and btw she was last year in Nov 🙂

[versed spire]

Specter is 5 star what spark

[glass monolith]

normal specter

[deft badger]

i thought spalter

why would u need specter

[glass monolith]

Why the f not

AH, guard, BS s2

[deft badger]

with all ur 6 stars xD

u want a 5 star specter

[glass monolith]

Hey, just because i CAN rarity abuse, doesn't mean i want to

I did so much rarity abuse on Chapter 12 i want to minimize usage of 6* to counter balance

[tidal sedge]

speaking about rarity aboos...

you are seeing one player who are doing so from the moment he got a bunch of 6 stars until today(me)

[waxen swan]

Flex ?

[tidal sedge]

Perhaps

but I love full 6 star only run, with no niche, and use no special strats

[glass monolith]

Goal: Win and/or have fun
Means: Literally anything. As long as it is not Windflit

[cyan gorge]

Before I knew it, I became a 6* abuser the moment Skalter got on my account

[tidal sedge]

SSS Strat for Ptilopsis/TeaAppleSauce's waifu

3 sniper/2 caster
3 caster/2 sniper
full caster
full sniper

which will you choose?

[eager gate]

Why medic in sss

only damage just damage JUST DAMAGE

all the heal you need is called Gladia

[cyan gorge]

Suzu my healer

[little ravine]

does eyja talent work if she is in the deck in SSS or does she have to be drawn ?

[cyan gorge]

I assume so, since Bag talent works even when not drawn/already retreated

[eager gate]

her talent says "when deployed"

[cyan gorge]

With mod upgrades, that restriction is lifted

[tidal sedge]

Mod2 changes it to a squad buff

[cyan gorge]

she just needs to be in squad

[eager gate]

I thought mod buffs sp talent

[cyan gorge]

Nah

[eager gate]

well, that's good
I don't gotta mod my Eyja then

[high shard]

Which operators from my roster should i use to make annihilation 19 as easy as possible and also what are the placements and the placement order

[polar crane]

No thanks

I ain't doing Niche Knights

Gladiia heals is Abyssal Hunters Exclusive...

So nah

[timid schooner]

aaaaaaaa im getting mad rn

[storm current]

wait until you see SL then

lmao

EX8 is harder than CW-S-4 so it shouldnt be that bad

but SL tho

lmao

[turbid badge]

[near basalt]

Which ops is worth lvling

[polar crane]

maybe weedy mizuki

[cyan gorge]

Click, Ethan, Mizuki, Weedy
Pram if you really want a debuffer

Podenco could be good with SN coming back soon

[storm current]

wouldnt jaye better than podenco in that case then

[cyan gorge]

I don't see Jaye in their options

[near basalt]

What about kalfa is it good

[foggy grove]

kafka works untouched

[near basalt]

?

[tidal sedge]

Can help me build a team?

[foggy grove]

you just deploy her to stall with sleep
level and skill level doesn't matter for her

[storm current]

typically you want a team set up like
2 vanguard, preferably pioneer like scavenger/fang, or vigna is fine too
2 medic, 1 single target like silence + 1 aoe like perfumer
2 defender, 1 tanky type like beagle/cuora, 1 healing type like spot/gummy
2 marksman, kroos + exu. platinum can replace kroos later on but for now use kroos
1 art, click is good. e1 steward for base
1 aoe, lin or pinecone is fine
the rest are wildcard slots you can use your strong units for like cutter lappland or whatever fit the stage
you should check depot, you should have 2 selectors, one for silence, one for lappland

[timid spade]

Suggestions on how to go from here into phase 2? I'm not confident right side can keep the cars at bay

[storm current]

block with a defender

[timid spade]

I intend to put dorothy on the down button and then mon3tr on the up button once phase 2 is triggered so the top ball is preventing enemy passage, then GG will destroy bottom ball to block bottom

[timid spade]

Would a 3 star defender be able to do it? I don't have any other built defenders

[storm current]

no then

but

cant you just use cuora to tank rocket instead of kristen

kristen hardly deal any dmg

you literally can use noir corne to tank her

or cardigan

[timid spade]

Hm, good point... I was just using her to stall until I killed everything, but I suppose I don't need cuora for that

Can prob replace suzu for a 3* defender then

Btw, do I deploy mlynar on the right or left for phase 2?

[storm current]

left lane has jedi

right lane have rocket

goldenglow prob cant kill jedi cuz high res

[timid spade]

Mon3tr also has problems tanking them. I used mlynar on the left for phase 1

[next frost]

Is this team good enough for that stage?

[storm current]

i wouldnt borrow eyja

can just go goldenglow instead

[next frost]

S3?

[storm current]

yes

the balls have taunt

so goldenglow s3 will prioritize them

globally

[timid spade]

@storm current Do you know which side of the red box the jedis spawn from? Looking to make a dorothy pathway for them

[storm current]

bottom

[timid spade]

thx, I'll see if dorothy can dmg them enough that mon3tr can handle it

Even though they have high res

[next frost]

Gonna switch my defenders for cheap ones + using Mountain for the left side for CM.

[timid spade]

The balls deal arts dmg I'm assuming?

[storm current]

Physical

[timid spade]

Ah, so borrowing nightingale won't do much huh 😅
I'm running into a healing issue because my Silence is only E1L70. Once I kill a ball in phase 2, kal and chongus die, might have to reconsider their position

[storm current]

wait no

balls collision is physical

but pulsing aura and global explosion is art

[timid spade]

Ah, good. I'll try nightingale and without mylnar then

That run is bust

[cyan gorge]

Kafka's main niche is her sleep on s1 and her talent. Since this job can be fulfilled easily left at e0, upgrading her in generally pointless and the extra dp cost from promotion is a demerit to her role as a fast redeploy

[deft badger]

dont skip on mlynar

[timid spade]

Suggestions on surviving the balls' explosions, then? I don't have ptilo or warf... If possible, I'd like to not build silence since lumen is coming soon

[deft badger]

just kill the boss faster in p1

u have kal

kill it on spawn

kill her before she spawns the 2nd ball

[next frost]

Can't do it. Not enough damage for weak mobs.

[timid spade]

I think you misunderstand, I killed kristen with only one ball on the map in that run, but once I killed the first ball in second phase, chongus died

[deft badger]

ofc he can do it xD

[timid spade]

I think he's talking bout himself

[deft badger]

the map can be done with 4 ops

[sullen rover]

3
weedy
kal
texalter

[deft badger]

u figure out how u wanna do right side

[next frost]

I already have Mlynar, Kirito, Texalter and am going to build Weedy.

[deft badger]

but chong can take one ball

it does only 900 dmg

[sullen rover]

just borrow a weedy
also you can just copy eckos guide

wayy less of a pain to do than the 3 op clear

[timid spade]

He died this time, but he was already low from taking hits from kristen. I could reposition people so he doesn't tank any of kristen hits and see if that solves it and I can keep mlynar

[timid spade]

I actually didnt check out ecko's guide, I'll take a look after this run

[deft badger]

well don't xD

where is the fun in it

[sullen rover]

its 2 6 stars so its alot easier than kyos(1 6 stars)

if theres a lvl diff you can just add more dps

[south bone]

Damn i lost in Mama John's stage cuz of DP

[deft badger]

i spend 3 hours of my life on it

in that stupid hard mode

[south bone]

well i'm not on emergency yet

but i'm upset that i gotta replay it again

[deft badger]

ahh u are going to have fun xD

bring a QB if u have one and enjoy it

spend like 3 hours with mlynar to see QB eat them first try lol

stupid crushers have to much def

[cyan gorge]

The one time I bring Lapp to SSS

[deft badger]

what did that do?

[south bone]

i can use arts dmg it's simple, but the stage keep giving me others

grr

[cyan gorge]

I farmed it for the missions yeah

I tried Lapp for crushers but Reedic ended up killing everything as always

[deft badger]

should have taken reed prob as well but was to lazy to restart

[sullen rover]

she silence their stun ability

[deft badger]

but QB did just fine, they didn't even get closer

[deft badger]

didn't know that u can silence that

[timid spade]

Do you guys think there's any chance that S2M3 kaltsit can keep left side by herself or nah? (CW-EX-8-CM)

[cyan gorge]

not with s2

s3 can for sure

[timid spade]

Nah, S3 can't, already tried

[cyan gorge]

s2 can't deal with rockets

[timid spade]

Left side, not right

[cyan gorge]

oh

[timid spade]

Left is jedis

[deft badger]

mlynar can

[cyan gorge]

yeah jedis would probably shred if she was holding solo

[deft badger]

u can use mlynar for left and kal for right

+kal for boss

[timid spade]

Tbh I was so focused on using chongus I didn't even consider that

Lemme give it a go

[cyan gorge]

You still need a blocker for left

Mlynar has downtime

[deft badger]

u have to ulty 3 times with mlynar and a 1 block can hold till he is on cd

just ulty when the boss is in range everytime with mlynar u can't do anything wrong

[timid spade]

I was planning on using S1L7 shaw, could that stall until mlynar kills everything?

[deft badger]

that's when the most adds move as well

[cyan gorge]

If not e2, Shaw eventually dies

[timid spade]

Maybe I just cycle Yato and Gravel then, idk

[deft badger]

are u doing cm?

[timid spade]

Shit, ran out of practice permits

CM using 3 is just bs lol

[cyan gorge]

too many enemies for 1 block stalling to work

[deft badger]

that's kinder what i did

[timid spade]

What do you suggest for left side, then? Something like healer + cuora + mlynar?

[deft badger]

if u ulty every time when the boss gets in ur range a 1 block is ok

[cyan gorge]

I used Gummy + Reedalter

[deft badger]

there will be just 1 point where u will see a defender and laser sword dude at the same time walking up its up to u how u deal with that for the rest mlynar is of cd

[crisp bolt]

I just unga bunga'd it

blocking with rat

[timid spade]

Yeah, the main weankess of my account rn is a lack of healers tbh. I have none really worth building up to E2. Plan on getting lumen and maybe nightingale/ptilo from kernel, but those will only come after the event is over

[sullen rover]

used weedy s2 permastall the jedis and robot
just drop texalter to kill them

[timid spade]

Only have yato

[cyan gorge]

medicless behavior

[timid spade]

[crisp bolt]

[cyan gorge]

Anyways, you want high block and 1-2 wave cleaners for left side

[deft badger]

am watch the guide and borrow weedy xD

[cyan gorge]

otherwise, try pushers

[deft badger]

thought he has a healer

[crisp bolt]

weedy?

[timid spade]

Since I ran out of permits, I'll give one last try today with Kal on right side and borrowed weedy on the left with yato dropped in occasionally. If it doesn't work I'll try again tomorrow

[deft badger]

u can try i mean with a tank but i don't know if that will survive

w8

[sullen rover]

my e1 weedy with s2 permastalls lol
its pretty funny

[timid spade]

Been doing medics 9h recruits for months lol. The one time I got a 5*, the freaking tag dropped

[crisp bolt]

at least you used your permits

[deft badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M91tqonpeo4&ab_channel=Yanap

[crisp bolt]

not what I meant

[crisp bolt]

who?

[deft badger]

SN rerun soon anyway

[crisp bolt]

oh I can't read

EN moment

I read that as "was"

[timid spade]

Yeah, I'm waiting for that and kernel so I can get Lumen + Ptilo/NG. Too bad both come right after this event xD

[crisp bolt]

weedy stall is very fun

[deft badger]

btw i think u can use just yato if u have to borrow weedy

just fill right side with something to deal with the things they use texas for

[timid spade]

Thanks, I'll save this so I can try tomorrow. Maybe I can do something like that with chongus + mon3tr on right side

[jovial nest]

take your time

i still have yet to do 7 and 8

the event has a lot of weeks

i don't know why people speedrun content and waste sanity cause of it

[timid spade]

I'm not rushing lol, it's just that I have time to play now and I wish I could keep doing trial attempts indefinitely so I don't waste my sanity

[jovial nest]

you can do what i sometimes do but it might be weird

attempt your hard mode strats on normal plans

and once you have a feeling that its solid, do another hard mode plan

that way you got 3x more attempts to experiment

[timid spade]

It's tricky because I noticed quite a difference on the jedi's dmg between normal and CM, but if I go the weedy route it could be a good idea, thanks for the suggestion

[jovial nest]

oh you have to consider what the normal mode ain't giving

the additional small stat increase

the -1 blocks, etc.

but you just do it when you think you have to iron out how to do the layout

once you iron out how to place and execute with your ops

you do hard mode plans again

[south bone]

God i hate the mama john boss stage even tho it's not emergency yet

[cyan gorge]

Mama john is funny

it's only bad if you don't bring a flag

[south bone]

I don't mind the dp

i hate bot lane mob rush tho

[latent anvil]

i didnt like the other one a lot more

that flying idiot

[south bone]

I haven't tried other map, but i'll hate both for sure

[ember furnace]

who's a good alternative to Goldenglow?

[cyan gorge]

in what context

[ember furnace]

hmm well the vid I'm trying to use for cw-ex-8 clear uses her S2 for an all afk clear

but I don't have her unfortunately

[cyan gorge]

Which side of the map and which enemies is she killing?

[ember furnace]

top right, directly to the right of the top enemy entrance node, facing down

[cyan gorge]

So camping rockets

any strong caster can work

or Gnosis if you have him

[ember furnace]

you think Mostima S2 would be good?

or S3 maybe? I have both M3

[crisp bolt]

[cyan gorge]

Mostima kinda pricey but you can try either skill

[ember furnace]

gotcha
otherwise I guess I could try Ceobe or Dusk, although Dusk is expensive too lol

[cyan gorge]

The important part is the slow and high arts damage to kill the later enemies

[ember furnace]

I see
I suppose worst case, I just repeatedly helidrop Texalter or Yatoalter in a blind panic

[sharp swallow]

How do you manage the "Emperor's Blade" Pursuer

[cyan gorge]

Tex s3 works too

but s2 is better for the stage

[ember furnace]

ah gotcha

[jovial nest]

fortunately, that one's easier done if you got the right "pieces" already. A case of easier if you're an old player

[noble pewter]

Plan where u will reduce his hp so u don't lose ur units in the fog he will release

[vital arrow]

the easy way is borrow pozy

[storm current]

yato is hard counter too

[jovial nest]

heh

Ya2's S2 is just insane. Ignores CC, has a built-in unchanging ASPD since her skill's effect is doing that number of slashes

and as much as mixed damage isn't too hot, how Ya2's S2 is built makes it such a flexible pick

[storm current]

EB has low defensive stat

hes just tanky from the mist

[jovial nest]

tanky because he keeps slowing everyone's ASPD down with that fart

and of course the snap

makes counterattacks delayed

thus, Ya2 and Tex2 just completely counters him

[lethal dragon]

He has 50% physical and arts DMG reduction in fog

[jovial nest]

ah that too

either way, Ya2 and Tex2's flexible way of dealing damage makes it easy to keep the fog away from your laners as well as engage what used to be too dangerous

i guess that's Surtr too but EB counters her immortality asset

use all of the above

[storm current]

imagine how much people cry about EB

meanwhile SL sheep have 70% dmg reduction and flying

so he cut off half of what can hurt him

[lethal dragon]

It's fine we have much broken units now

70% or even 90% is fair at this point

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/945481069417885736.png?quality=lossless&size=64

[storm current]

i havent mentioned it yet

the boss has 70% by default

magenta cloud is another 75% dmg reduction

for up to 92.5% dmg reduction

flying

so you cant surtr

cant stall either

you are looking at 1M ehp if you let have the cloud

[lethal dragon]

Wait does saria have sp lockout on S2?

[crisp bolt]

yeah believe so

[lethal dragon]

And s1?

[storm current]

Yes

[timid schooner]

YESSSSSSS

LETS GOOOOOOO

time to touch grass and get ready for cw s 4

[tropic valve]

niiice

[jovial nest]

hahahah

I can see why some players had difficulty with EX-7 CM

its just a stat check

which is so easy for me since it's so straightforward and i have all the pieces needed

Weedy S2M3 for bot lane

Tex2, Ya2, Surtr, GG, Ceobe on the tank army

press up button so no flyers

[fringe jackal]

where did you put weedy?

[foggy grove]

i just use sl7 puller bot

it works the same to trivialize saber dood

[fringe jackal]

I don't even have a puller e1'd weedy save me

[main halo]

Guys

What am I looking at?

[noble pewter]

victory ?

[fringe jackal]

certain death to all enemies

[south bone]

fun

[jovial nest]

bot lane wherein she can defend 2 passageways

[weak gazelle]

hmm...
this is stupid, race against kristen to claim balls faster

[jovial nest]

ok that was a hilariously bad but a cleared practice run of EX-8

cause i misinterpreted where Kristen will come from

need to refine

[lethal dragon]

Ughh why not use hibiscus

And can't you deploy absinthe facing down

Near silence

[jovial nest]

ok that was smooth

yeah it didn't take long to solve cause I knew Kristen's gimmick since CW-10

i'm curious what CM pulls off

[weak gazelle]

yeah i still get used with cm condition
so still in trial and error phase

still think what should my vg do after they first job done

[jovial nest]

ooooh triple cost

hmmmm

I think I'll remove Mudrock

and Surtr will be the rocket solutions as much as they can

yeah it's time i change up my strats

being reliant on Thorns, Mly, Surtr, Mudrock won't work even when i bring my flags

it's too slow and Kristen's Phase 1 needs to die asap

Thorns can't build up in time.

practicing a guardless, defenderless setup on normal plans

Chalter Poze Ling....

Suzu is a mainstay

[glass monolith]

Rat with almost 9000 ATK doesn't exist she can't hurt you

[lethal dragon]

Use reed alter

Ng is unnecessary

[jovial nest]

yawn normal mode-ing Mama

[jovial nest]

good point

there's a LOT of targets in the middle to feed the healing

[glass monolith]

Dude I can't do emergency without finishing Normal

[jovial nest]

either way i hate that hard mode SSS now is all about those concrete blocks

i guess the stunning all ranged ops when drawing said condition is too piss easy

[lethal dragon]

Raythean is a real pain in ass
Emergency Boss stage made me use 2 healers

[jovial nest]

NG/Ptilo kept upping one another's Medic buffs and their skills kept me up top

especially since active skill equipment upped ASPD too

Although i guess Reedter with 5x sniper carried damage and sustain too

i went with +1 SP when healed

helps keep my Medics' skills up

+3 SP per "attack" since they were AoE medics

[glass monolith]

I need some copium

[jovial nest]

oh yeah Gladiia and Spelter are also laning options...

Hmmmm

[glass monolith]

Ballista 1000 atk, rat no module 272 def, medic 2 equipment on field 20%
Damage rat suppose to take 728
DR reduce it to 582.4
Barrier during m3 tanks 600.
RAT WORKS WITH DR

[celest bluff]

One man must wonder

What the fuck did he smoke last year

[glass monolith]

He smoke civilians

[lethal dragon]

Spawncamping Kirsten is so easy with lappland

[jovial nest]

that works. time to practice it in CM. Ling did fuck all heh

I might've killed Kristen too early heh.

[lethal dragon]

You can silence her to keep the balls frozen

[glass monolith]

Stage is dead? Dead. Good

[jovial nest]

CM cleared.

all balls gone before she's killed

Can't wait for S maps wherein we get red versions of DV power armor...

[glass monolith]

Preplaced 2 ranged DV robots

Dorothy event enemies so cringe they infest other Rhine Labs events

[celest bluff]

Wait

If she is silence then she will get no ball?

[jovial nest]

naaah

iirc phase 1 is un-silence-able

so the only reason you wanna silence Kristen is so she doesn't detonate all her balls at all if she dies

but if there are still multiple balls alive, that Kristen is gonna take a lot of punishment

and if there's 2 stars left...then why not just kill 1 more

and just scrap the silence

[glass monolith]

35% less damage taken per ball and that shit stacks

[foggy grove]

[glass monolith]

Each ball is like her having Gladiia buff

[foggy grove]

app crashed on clear screen

[glass monolith]

Oh god imagine it will be happening during POO

4 hour robot killing into failed to upload results

[unkempt lintel]

hmm.... so kristen can be silence in p2... hmmmm

[foggy grove]

i'm not doing that

[unkempt lintel]

i think ill incorperate using proviso in my attempt in ex 8 cm

[lethal dragon]

[solid dew]

closest ive had to that is when i was beating ending 4 on IS2

We will have more than enough cringe events for it in future

[celest bluff]

Mf Phantom is useful but I don't have him built

[lethal dragon]

Executor event is the real cringe

Oh yeah CV is coming soon too

[celest bluff]

"Just execute it"

[glass monolith]

It caused me to build Perfumer in advance so best event for me

[celest bluff]

Amiya caster is the unit I forgot I have because guard Amiya

I have my fia stuck on e0

she is

[near folio]

Welfareknights is actually quite stacked now that I think about it

[jovial nest]

hilariously, Ines has been quite nice for Kristen fights

secondary printer

and her S2 helps weaken those BAWLS

[near folio]

For once Cantabile actually losing

No arts damage moment

that was not the point for me

I like Ines having her S2 accelerate

she might not have the efficiency of Canta's S2 ammo system

but Ines' S2 has its own pros i like

Me who uses 3 defenders and 1 guard with puzzle and normal texas

Honestly the stage gives enough downtime to build up dp

[glass monolith]

Well if you play normally. Instead some scuff fiesta

I read some of Ho'ol kit, and there's levitate effect, is there any viable strategies for it? Like I know the Dorothy / Irene combo but nothing special about it, Like doesn't levitate turn enemies temporarily into ranged or something? Seems like a worse stun or bind for melee units 😦

How much harder would Kristen's maps be if they weren't assault maps?

[jovial nest]

unless you were attempting what I tried before scrapping the class, try to get a 99 DP Mudrock out.

[warm hornet]

Also, is Kristen even affected by levitate?

Since I am sure most new bosses are not affected by stuns as far as I know.

[polar crane]

only in phase 2

phase 1 she's immune to everything

[warm hornet]

Even bind?

[polar crane]

yes everything

[warm hornet]

Ah I see,

So far, no levitate meta 😔

Maybe there would be a unit that take advantage and even boost other units who inflict this effect.
