oh you mean my screenshot of W tic-tac-toeing herself while everyone greets Highmore?

tropic valve
#

using W S2 against Highmorb ExuHyperStare

jovial nest
#

who says anything about W being the highmore DPS

tropic valve
#

ok but W Hand is actually kinda goated

#

it's my goto laneholder for Izumik (no Chalter)

ivory crescent
#

I can't clear the chip stage for guard and sniper GoldenglowSad which one should i build

#

and how i place them too

tropic valve
#

if you E1 Kroos it'll help you clear the Sniper stage

#

for Guard, Kalt'sit + Mon3tr can probably handle a lane

ivory crescent
#

CeobeConfused oh wait it the Fearless Protection stage

ivory crescent
tropic valve
#

do you have the resources to E1 Mountain?

sullen rover
#

you can borrow and manually do the stage to e1 mountain
should be a breeze then

verbal badger
#

how to beat 9-19?

#

thats what i have

somber falcon
verbal badger
#

yea specifically 2nd phase

#

like i can spawn kill her wit mlynar + surtr

#

but afterwards they die and i have nothing for 2nd phase

#

and then when im trying to setup rocks to kill her 2nd phase

#

left side air people start coming out

#

since im using qiubai + ines to hold that lane

somber falcon
verbal badger
#

she doesnt go into 2nd phase if killed by rocks?

#

wym

somber falcon
#

She has 80% DR by default

cyan gorge
#

Burst phase one, drop rocks x4 for phase 2

somber falcon
#

Why are you trying to brute force through that HellaHands

somber falcon
ornate pond
#

takes a bit of timing

#

but just ling

deft badger
woeful sierra
#

is there logic to what enemy summon the he-8 boss does or is it random

spark sinew
#

idt he summons at all

#

he probably will in ex-8

deft badger
#

i don't even know what he does, i am just placing all my melee ops xD

spark sinew
#

so that's why description says he can summon

dark glade
#

Isnt the normal enemies is "summon"

woeful sierra
#

he can summon an invis enemy on top right tile and a knife guy bottom left

#

idk what logic it follows

dark glade
#

Thats why it randomly goes into different place and fuck auto

spark sinew
#

i thought those always were fixed spawns

#

huh

dark glade
#

If you pay attention sometime there are knife throwing guy dropping infront of bp

woeful sierra
#

nah ive had runs where he never summons invis

dark glade
#

Sometime they just spawn toplane

#

Idk what logic it follow

woeful sierra
#

and yeah i kinda need him to not summon invis 2 in a row

deft badger
#

ok that explains why every sixth run fails lol

foggy grove
#

my auto just cover both case

dark glade
#

From i love amiya vid

#

I guess it just random

foggy grove
#

but yeah idk why

spark sinew
#

i copied oyuki

woeful sierra
#

NAH BUT

#

im just having the worst rng of my life

#

yk how it says 3 hrs plaing ak on my profile

spark sinew
#

are you trying some challenge clear?

woeful sierra
#

all this stage

spark sinew
#

idk scene soloes so we've peaked anyway

woeful sierra
#

yeah sniperknights kinda*

spark sinew
#

ah

deft badger
woeful sierra
#

need these 2 to body block a couple rocks

deft badger
#

my 0 iq strat maybe it helps maybe it doesn't
ah ok u use snipers just ignore me...

woeful sierra
#

+totter

dark glade
woeful sierra
#

alr

#

🫡

spark sinew
#

ok i was gonna suggest ros s3 rng to block boulders

#

but you're already doing it

woeful sierra
#

yeah lol

#

but even still its not enough

#

pain and agony

deft badger
#

i have 0 content left...

#

boring af

#

btw does someone know some good animes? of topic

spark sinew
#

wdym

#

you didn't do is3 d15 yet

deft badger
#

it doesn't give rewards

#

so i never will

#

lol

spark sinew
#

does anime give you rewards

deft badger
#

nope but i enjoy watching them, what i can't say about IS

#

btw why doesn't arknights have a dub

spark sinew
#

IS is an acquired taste for sure

deft badger
#

IS isn't fun for me, repeating the same thing over and over without rewards doesn't work for me

#

and i don't have the need to flex how i did menage to do d15 xD

spark sinew
#

?

#

idt people do it to flex Bnuuy

deft badger
#

which part didn't u understand my friend 😄

#

sure some don't, i guess they have fun at playing IS

#

before i spend my time in IS i am going to play something else or just don't play at all

#

don't know what was worst for me, doing IS or that base building event

spark sinew
#

base building event was fun

#

also made some units relevant 🙏

next frost
#

Fia?

dark glade
#

Heh climbing difficulty on roguelike is fun

spark sinew
#

well maybe relevant is a big word

dark glade
#

But it really is an aquired taste

spark sinew
#

but yeah fia was used
I've been using carne for stone/iron mining

dark glade
#

now bashing your head against izumik is not fun

spark sinew
#

stuff like phantom or trapmasters were not bad

dark glade
#

2nd RA wont boil down into another surtr hospital right?

next frost
#

Those Clambs in RA are hard enemies.

limpid siren
#

climbing to d15 and beating it was fun

#

staying at d15 is less fun

spark sinew
#

d15 is way less fun after expansion

lethal dragon
#

So true

spark sinew
#

you have more giga broken relics like flashing swords

fringe jackal
#

I will stay at d0 thanks BlitzSmile

spark sinew
#

but then the maps are also a big comp check

limpid siren
#

the new stages limit openers more than i enjoy

lethal dragon
#

Climbing and trying to reach d15 was fun but then I just got bored of integrated strategies

limpid siren
#

and mom being so powerful is just boring for me

next frost
#

Me staying at D9 SkadiDaijoubu

limpid siren
#

because every opener becomes: kroos, just kroos

deft badger
#

@spark sinew i don't have a problem doing something over and over if i get something out of it, example during covid i spend 6 months farming and selling items in classic wow so i was camping 10-12 hours a day the same spot killing the same mobs over and over for 200usd each day xD
but the moment i am getting nothing out of it i am done, i can do it one time but that's it after that i don't see a point

tidal sedge
#

I camp at d11

spark sinew
#

wow has such a market still you can make 200 usd/day with something you can easily automate??

#

or well, ig had

fringe jackal
#

ReedBean just learn programming, easy to automate tasks that are repetitive

deft badger
#

at the start of classic yes.. atm not, there are atm to many farmers from china lol

#

u could have made 100-200 in 10 hours in the first year of classic wow then the
chinese came and now its like 30-50

#

raid items still sell really high but gold is like nothing worth anymore

deft badger
#

even programmers use AI to write codes since it does it just faster

fringe jackal
# deft badger why, there is a new AI inc

nah AI is not used in enterprise because too many systems including proprietary systems that are not documented anywhere are involved so half the issues you encounter is in communicating and in coming to agreement with other teams
also a lot of the trickiest stuff is fixing obscure bugs eg in games like arknights or tuning for performance eg if a billion people try and update the game at once

deft badger
spark sinew
#

was just curious

#

the convo immediately reminded me of Venezuela runescape farmers

deft badger
#

i still do eve, running it afk spending like 10 hours in a month for 1k usd

fringe jackal
deft badger
#

doing reactions which are timegated

spark sinew
#

what's stopping people from just using smurfs for that

#

instead of spending 1k Bnuuy

deft badger
#

btw ofc its not easy as wow go in the game lvlup get gear start farming, u have to invest like a month in couple accounts to get to the point to make money and there isn't really a limit i am running 6 accounts

dark glade
deft badger
#

i can stack up to do more but then there is the problem that i have to invest more of my own time in to selling the stuff i produced, its not just go press buttons, u have to get the mats to craft, ship them, start the reactions, watch markets to know what to produce, know what's going to be needed, then sell it in the end which takes time

#

80% of the player base does play and live in the save zones like high-sec where other players can't gank them
what u can make in couple hours (0sec free for all, smash each other's heads) they don't make even in months

#

that's the reason u fly a 500-1000 usd ship and they have a 20usd ship xD

turbid badge
#

ill stick with my sink water auto button

tidal sedge
glass monolith
#

Rock "dies" FrankaWheeze

tidal sedge
#

The rock gives Siege sp

glass monolith
#

Also i think Siege range is all tiles around her for this effect so you could place her 1 tile right

tidal sedge
#

What other ops can exploit this

#

Module Flamebringer?

turbid badge
#

2024 is a leap year

#

guess whay

#

extra day to farm mats

glass monolith
#

People who age at 0.25 speed will have BDs

vernal lion
turbid badge
#

yeah its enemy

#

u can slow it w mostima

vernal lion
#

and civis is also an enemy too, but it's called "ally"

#

basically, everything that doesn't related to your op, it's all the enemy

#

even "ally" thing

spark sinew
#

does stainless device give siege 1sp when it dies

turbid badge
#

yes

#

i tried that iut b4

#

same w estelle

#

it heal her when it dies

#

also its 3sp

spark sinew
#

it's one

#

or you mean device gives 3 for some reason

#

or you mod 3 siege, idk her mods

turbid badge
#

mod lvl 3

#

op victoriaknights strat fr!!

vernal lion
#

funny Siege Warf combo

deft badger
#

i am just going to say wow...

#

theoretically the number u can make in eve is infinite

peak cloak
#

why eve online tho? just get yourself better and farm more money irl, win win.

celest bluff
#

The civilian in this event is bitch

celest bluff
#

Now I not encourage it

deft badger
#

the point is not to scam people

celest bluff
#

But that is just fact

deft badger
#

btw if u wanna actually scam eve doesn't punish scammers lol

#

if u get scammed and try to report how it came to it they are going laugh

tropic valve
#

hmm I think Flashing Swords is fine

deft badger
#

in which game u can make the most

tropic valve
#

Mutual Aid being F1 is not good design

#

I also don't think MoM is much better than other squads if at all

peak cloak
tropic valve
#

in terms of fun, I'm having fun with the expansion so far but that might just be novelty factor

peak cloak
#

btw, just m6 Schwarz and feel so good lol

tropic valve
#

congratulations

deft badger
#

in my opinion its eve, since there are no limitations to how much u can make
there are people who make millions by market manipulation xD

peak cloak
#

amen

spark sinew
#

but it's super common

tropic valve
#

I don't think it's Old Fan level

celest bluff
#

Pull exealt
The lord gave me Mudrock and passenger instead

tropic valve
#

if we compare getting Anabolism with 1 cursed relic

#

it's 135 -> 170

spark sinew
#

HG gave me mudrock as well

peak cloak
#

fun fact that schwarz is my second m6 beside the green old Lynx

spark sinew
#

lord didn't give me shit though

tropic valve
#

which is a 26% increase in ASPD

#

basically no-change

celest bluff
tropic valve
#

if you have 2 cursed relics already, adding Anabolism is a net negative

#

granted Anabolism is the worst one

spark sinew
tropic valve
#

another thing is that adding ASPD doesn't solve DEF

#

the jellyfish in Izumik have 2400

#

and if your units couldn't chip them at 0 ASPD

#

they're not doing much better at 105 ASPD

spark sinew
#

there are plenty relics that you don't want to swap (that give curse one for example)

tropic valve
#

Old Fan in contrast actually helps you overcome that

#

you can do things like, activate Krooster skill and watch the Dublinn guards melt in Deep Cog

celest bluff
#

Which Kroos is Krooster you guys are talking about

tropic valve
#

Kroos the Keen Glint

#

common Sniper draft in IS3 due to her stuns

celest bluff
#

Damn

spark sinew
#

@jovial nest what are those 10 ops

#

i know 2(3)

#

ok 5, if we add executors

jovial nest
#

3 are not released yet. And yeah....Skalter is still in it. I like her multibuffing for my multiple nukers

turbid badge
#

wtf jusan not pot 4 mlynar

jovial nest
#

Right now if I just wanted balance for any opponents, I might add Ceobe for when the times Ya2, Tex2, Surtr's arts ain't enough

#

but yeah sometimes Ceobe is a dead ops in specific maps so I'm not considering her a mainstay unlike the Redep-Arts-Group

spark sinew
#

surtr as perma member is...interesting

jovial nest
#

Another consideration for 11th/12th maybe another ground laner

spark sinew
#

but ig not as much as skalter

tropic valve
#

what kind of squad is this?

jovial nest
#

its my all-purpose (unless it's IS/SSS/CC)

spark sinew
#

all purpose i would cut mly

#

he's too awkward in easy stages, especially going in blind for me

jovial nest
#

the thing is, if i manage to clear the map without Surtr or Mlynar use, it's a map that's weak af

#

as in my squad would've low ops'd it a bit

#

but meh, I'm not trust farming with this

spark sinew
#

i feel like hard maps you will need to adjust ops anyway

jovial nest
#

indeed. which is why I'm not using the entire 12 slots

spark sinew
#

or skills (and at this point might as well adjust ops)

jovial nest
#

the 2 are flexible picks

#

i've considered the likes of Ceobe, GG, and some other ground laners

#

even Typhon

#

but I might be overspecializing in another way that might be too overkill in one spot, or lacking in something

#

Hauc, what would you recommend?

spark sinew
#

gg is good here because skalter

jovial nest
#

yeah i've considered her usefulness in killing camping enemies

#

and if her arts damage is lacking, there are other arts damage in the group

spark sinew
#

she's just a good trash killer

#

i would 100% add reedic btw

jovial nest
#

as for trash killing, thats never something I'd consider. A lot can kill trash

#

and if its labelled as trash, its something most laners i drop can take care of

spark sinew
#

not a lot of things can clear trash in 4 different points on the map

#

cough cough this event

#

gg is cheaper and less clicks than using executors on them

jovial nest
#

Can't rely on GG's sometimes inconsistent targetting

#

but i guess that's a thing to consider

#

maps that are 3-4 lanes needed

#

I'm curious what my all-purpose squad will look like in the future. Can't predict 6 months ahead

spark sinew
#

for hard content hmm
i was trying to assemble something hypothetical myself but idk
QB feels not that great but somehow we lack better options

jovial nest
#

who knows, maybe I'll actually like Typhon

spark sinew
#

unless you go spalter gladiia

jovial nest
#

Gladiia Spelter leaves a lot to be desired ngl

#

I've thought about them

#

they bring some goods to the table

spark sinew
#

yeah not a big fan

jovial nest
#

hell, they buff Skalter

#

but meh

spark sinew
#

i don't like how i need to deploy both most of the time

jovial nest
#

might not be worth it just for that alone

#

I've considered Gladiia alone

glass monolith
#

GG targeting is consistent more or less (unless several enemies same distance from box and her slow causes pepega targeting)
But her damage based on number of random drone explosions can be both best and worst thing RedOmegaLul

jovial nest
#

for really isolated annoying lanes

spark sinew
#

for this event i'm going to try bruteforce ex with this

jovial nest
#

but she lacks damage when it starts mattering

spark sinew
#

def should slap saria here

jovial nest
#

ok yeah

#

guys

spark sinew
#

maybe over mlynar again, since boss is not nukeable

jovial nest
#

Sell me on Exalter

#

this might be the only time I might get him

#

I know Exalter is an enmity

spark sinew
#

the best laneholder in the game

jovial nest
#

but I have Skalter

spark sinew
#

completely autonomous

dark glade
#

die to BSL explosion without NG

#

bad

spark sinew
#

he doesn't need skalter btw

spark sinew
#

at all

jovial nest
#

why Skalter?

spark sinew
#

chongyue + she's comfy healer for bruteforcing

jovial nest
# spark sinew at all

depends. There will be cases where he will be harassed outside his range. But yeah it might be RARE AF

spark sinew
#
  • robin and mumu
#

robin is for plugging boards

dark glade
#

🏃‍♂️

spark sinew
jovial nest
#

oh gotcha

#

yeah I can use redep to remove issues with harass

#

But I'm still a bit hung up on Skalter with Eyjaberry for Hoed tanking heh....

spark sinew
#

do you think bird mephisto demanded quite good healers?

jovial nest
#

maybe I'll grow to no longer use Skalter

#

but its not now

spark sinew
#

the ch8 thingy

jovial nest
#

with how good our redep is these days.....not really

spark sinew
#

yeah but if you try to keep stuff deployed

#

cause exalter outheals his dot

jovial nest
#

even the stacked x4 one?

#

damn

spark sinew
#

on what thresholds does he apply dot?
idt you can trigger it like that, no 🤔

jovial nest
#

bursting him stacks his DOT

#

thats why back then you suggest to damage him slowly

#

Surtring him really hurts unless you can go all the way to killing him in phase 2

spark sinew
#

so more of a team player

jovial nest
#

yeah i tend to not use Juggernauts these days

#

as much as i like Mudrock, sometimes the cost is heavy for the payoff

tropic valve
#

I kinda agree with that

#

although Mlynar is strong, I wouldn't put him in the default squad

#

you'll know when you need him

spark sinew
#

he really works badly for blind stages

#

now if you could deactivate his s3...

jovial nest
#

still if we're considering it

#

even hard event/chapter maps can be solved by a core specific of 6 ops

#

the rest are mostly to solve the lane or preferential defenses or DPS

#

I'm considering if I should just remove my mentality on Hoed having to tank shit

spark sinew
#

the main problem with him for me is being overkill and not actually pleasant to use

jovial nest
#

as in not use Hoed at all

spark sinew
#

he doesn't block for example

jovial nest
#

thats the thing

#

I treat Mlynar like a bomb

#

He's not a laner

spark sinew
#

but yeah i'm talking trash content

jovial nest
#

I never have treated him as such

spark sinew
#

as a bomb he works ok but still...his trait ramp up

tropic valve
#

my trash content team is like

#

all the class buffers

jovial nest
#

differing preferences then. I love to overkill in weaker contents because i get my ass handed enough times in IS and CC

tropic valve
#

Schwarz, Eyja, Horn

#

and various Snipers, Casters, Defenders who benefit from them

spark sinew
#

third sniper voucher

#

game pls

tropic valve
#

I also like running things like Chen + Blemishine + Penance for the SP

jovial nest
#

I'm still thinking if I should go for Hoed. But it just sounds like my style to go Hoed + Eyjaberry on high damage bosses

spark sinew
#

i would rec to try run a couple stages with support exalter if you wanted

#

we actually have his mod, ty yostar

dark glade
spark sinew
#
  • a lot of people have 200 trust so he's peak performance
jovial nest
#

but thats because she's a decent laner with boss killing capabilities

#

no one says no to that

spark sinew
#

disarm makes her tanky, and one nuke every 30 seconds is super nice

jovial nest
#

I'm abandoning the whole art issue

spark sinew
#

i can't

jovial nest
#

I've already abandoned my "Waifuknights" style

#

and just go purely for gameplay

spark sinew
#

i want to shittalk typhon more

jovial nest
#

might as well go above and beyond that

spark sinew
#

🏃‍♂️

dark glade
jovial nest
#

here's the thing

#

this is making me have to pull more HAHAHHA

#

I also need to consider how UnclePtilo's choices might also be worth considering for my playstyle

tropic valve
jovial nest
#

one thing's for sure....
Only I would bother with Hoed + Eyjaberry value

tropic valve
#

Vigna is my waifu but I'm not gonna try to make Vigna work in IS

jovial nest
#

for boss dueling

dark glade
#

i dont see any boss that need that kind of dueling

#

atleast not in normal gamemode

lapis hornet
#

a vigna is all u need

dark glade
#

and in IS probably too hope starved to draft any hoed combo

#

maybe RA rerun will change my mind idk

#

AND maybe they will do ch12 13 14 banner

#

which is HUGE for me since it will be ines hoed + 1

tropic valve
#

there's enough spare Hope to draft at least one wildcard 6* in any run I feel

#

but if they need a combo

spark sinew
#

i don't see hoed being good in RA

tropic valve
#

then it's maybe a lost cause

spark sinew
#

oh wait you mean those bosses that are on the map

tropic valve
#

like a buff army type deal

spark sinew
#

that don't raid you

jovial nest
#

but I can say the same thing for Surtr strats too

#

so i might be overkilling it with boss tanking solutions

dark glade
#

SK is ch11 boss right?

spark sinew
#

surtr + texas + reedic = boss dead

latent monolith
spark sinew
#

why are you guys dueling shaman king

jovial nest
#

if anything, bosses that are dangerous enough, my go-to would be the 3 TRUE gods of redep

tropic valve
dark glade
#

SK is RA boss?

tropic valve
dark glade
jovial nest
#

SK is ch11

latent monolith
jovial nest
#

RA bosses are a JOKE

tropic valve
dark glade
#

hauck please

jovial nest
spark sinew
#

what

dark glade
#

what i learn from SK is... get mod on nian/hoshi or just burst harder

#

i thought shaman king is an actual boss

spark sinew
#

who's the best 5* caster i can cope with the -12 res book

tropic valve
#

what I learn from SK is, Eunectes can't die

#

Rockrock or Amiya I think

dark glade
#

what i learn from cirno is there are alot more absurd ops that can do stuff

tropic valve
#

although I would take Harmonie for her utility (no damage though)

dark glade
spark sinew
#

i was thinking leizi but i actually lost previous run with her cause e1 leizi sucks

tropic valve
#

Leizi really needs module

#

is yours mod3?

spark sinew
#

also would you buy hair clip

dark glade
#

would

spark sinew
tropic valve
#

hairclip is strictly good

#

you can always withdraw the ingots

spark sinew
#

also not max level 🚮

tropic valve
#

oh nvm

#

I thought her module gave her more SP?

#

or is that only level 1

spark sinew
#

on mod2

jovial nest
#

one thing's for sure, I think I might add GG

tropic valve
#

unlike Mlynar, GG is excellent for blind maps

spark sinew
#

ok it's worse than i remembered

dark glade
#

10 whole atk

#

insane

spark sinew
#

i'm not doing it unless i get p6

jovial nest
#

Depends really. Still love Mlynar. If he never gets to slash, it's how trivial the map is.

#

also blind?

#

pls....I use practice plans

tropic valve
#

I mean same

jovial nest
#

unlike MOST players

tropic valve
#

but I enjoy clearing it on my first practice plan

spark sinew
#

ok so it's probably rockrock...wait

jovial nest
#

anyways

spark sinew
#

i forgot i have promo book LappDumb

jovial nest
#

my future plans are a WRECK

spark sinew
#

so e2 leizi looks not bad

jovial nest
#

cause Exalter and Typhon are back on the menu

dark glade
#

dont give in

jovial nest
#

I mean even present plans

dark glade
#

skip both

tropic valve
#

Rockrock S2 and Amiya S2 have similar DPS with Eyja S2 (except against high RES, though I guess that's common in IS)

jovial nest
#

cause i might roll for Exalter

jovial nest
spark sinew
#

some ridiculous f2 start time to choke like always

jovial nest
#

good skill timing

spark sinew
#

yeah but notice how he delays activations

jovial nest
#

yeah its about skill activation

#

but ammo oriented is a bonus

#

you know the annoying thing about experimenting and sculpting a personal all-purpose srs squad....

#

I have to try EVERYONE (roll for every worthwhile ops)

#

I wouldn't actually have considered Ines as part of it if i didn't roll and use her

spark sinew
#

huh

jovial nest
#

also....a consideration for Saria added in all purpose

#

time to bring out the notepad

spark sinew
#

||yw ||

#

LappDumb
how could i forget

jovial nest
#

wat?

spark sinew
#

stupid chest

dark glade
#

huh i dont even place op there 99% of the time

foggy grove
#

cute mimic

spark sinew
#

time to try to grab is and die

glass monolith
#

It is thorns, but yea. it is very fun to have mimic instead in that spot

jovial nest
#

hmmmm

spark sinew
#

mimic would just leak i think?

jovial nest
#

Exalter laning with Typhon sounds fun and solid

spark sinew
#

so easier to deal with in a way

jovial nest
#

btw does Muelsyse's clone eat deployment limit?

spark sinew
#

no

jovial nest
#

still, I have used her quite a lot in trust farming her. Her clones won't get any better from my experiences since I've already used her in trust farming with some good clone options

#

I'm thinking if Ines is not enough printing if you bring Tex2, Ya2, Surtr and constantly redep.
Also thinking if Ines + Myrtle is overkill in that regard. But it's never a con to keep spamming FRDs

vernal lion
#

now THIS is what I must have for my nuke squad

jovial nest
#

I mean

#

in paper alone she was already nuts

#

of course she's gonna goddamn carry

#

imagine making her talent be a 100% proc

#

that's her S3....

vernal lion
#

if talent is 100% proc, and 100% ignore def, that is True dmg btw

#

but honestly, she's kinda very important now

#

for many different contents

novel plover
#

"just use degen"?

jovial nest
#

I have to research Arturia soon

#

a superwhale in cn-lounge has nonstop used her in IS and has even added her in a hypothetical all-purpose squad

vernal lion
#

kinda like how Degen has already powercreep-ed many op now

spark sinew
jovial nest
#

it depends how fast i want to drop everyone

#

really depends who the core laners will be first

#

one thing's for sure

#

Ines won't be the only VG

#

And I don't want to go for Myrtle alone. Ines has a lot of utility

vernal lion
jovial nest
#

even thats overkill. I've seen Degen just spawncamp Damazti in H12-4 with Warf and maybe a Skalter summon

vernal lion
#

h12-4 spawncamp strat is not really easy

#

you need to calculate it right timing to not fuck up with enemy order

jovial nest
#

Ok the list of all potential considerations is finished.
Time to read up and then....elimination.

#

I am underusing Saria sometimes

#

correction. I'm underusing her a LOT (even when she's M9'd)

spark sinew
#

please don't bother with saria X mod

#

unless you simp fia or something similar that you don't do

vernal lion
#

be a simp, that's how game work

jovial nest
#

one thing for sure

glass monolith
#

If you expect me to not turn Fia into machine gun, you are wrong HellaKek

spark sinew
#

that's just insane module

jovial nest
#

ah the raw stats growth module

#

yeah i am thinking that

spark sinew
#

X is basically fia cope
or when saria needs to heal ASAP

jovial nest
#

cause regarding the +SP on heal....i mean, you're doing a shitty job if someone else is tanking damage that's not Saria

spark sinew
#

i think when stacked Y heals about the same as X

vernal lion
#

getting 900 def up is not cheap for that mod

glass monolith
vernal lion
#

she can be tanky as Hoshi or Nian

jovial nest
#

the kicker is, Saria's valuable in both my hypotheticals. Saria being on Hoederer's back....and Saria sidelaning or blocking for Exalter

vernal lion
#

with the benefit from 15% dr

jovial nest
#

also there's the consideration of....

#

should I bother with Eyjaberry if I'm going for Saria AND Ptilo....

spark sinew
#

why are you going for ptilo

jovial nest
#

Ptilo's pretty tempting for a squad with Mlynar, Degen, Chalter, GG....

#

Hoederer

spark sinew
#

did uncle actually say that she's better than eyja?

jovial nest
#

nope

#

it's the utility

#

it's like

#

I can do BOTH

spark sinew
#

mlynar would rather not use sp

jovial nest
#

BOTH Ptilo, Eyjaberry

spark sinew
#

well he can cause he overkills anyway

jovial nest
#

oh i know well not to immediately use S3 sometimes for Mlynar

#

I've learned from SSS

spark sinew
#

hoe is like 70 seconds duration and decent initial sp no?

jovial nest
#

the winner here is Degen...

#

if I'm considering Ptilo

#

healing 2 isolated laners would be easier indeed if I go Ptilo and Eyjaberry

#

but there's also the consideration of

#

Saria being the healer alone

#

either way....Skalter sounds to be scrapped if I'm considering the value of faster auto-rec recovery

#

and then there's also Saria's S3 as a nice built in debuffer if the time arises

#

Saria's a solid operator i keep underusing

spark sinew
#

idr last time i used s3

jovial nest
#

If I go S3, it'll help kill bosses with Tex2 + Surtr

#

that does mean that it's warranted to use 2 Medics

#

but i have to consider if I'd use Exalter (nothing heals him outside Skalter but does he need her anyway? But Skalter also good with GG...)

vernal lion
jovial nest
#

btw

#

just a hypothetical

#

but does Refreshments help Saria get SP for S1 and S2?

spark sinew
#

what's that

#

do you mean her sp talent

jovial nest
#

the SP +1 on heal

spark sinew
#

she probably has sp lock

jovial nest
#

ah

#

can't get SP during anims

spark sinew
jovial nest
#

the only time Izumik fight wasn't chaotic is me getting a god GG run

#

ok....

#

Naga

vernal lion
jovial nest
#

you've studied that 15% DR with the mod lvl 3 makes Saria akin to being as tanky as nian/hoshi?

vernal lion
#

totally tho

jovial nest
#

in what comparison?

#

passively or with active skills?

#

either way, it's solid

vernal lion
#

passively

jovial nest
#

so this compares to passive Hoshi S2M3 with DEF module lvl 3?

vernal lion
#

yes

jovial nest
#

my fucking god...

#

Hoshi just can't catch a break

vernal lion
#

because Hoshi is only good when she can dodge tho

#

normally, most of tanky op can do the job

jovial nest
#

if Saria can tank a shot, it makes her survive better just because of how good her heal is + the medic healing her

vernal lion
#

keep in mind that reducing dmg taken is for all, not just physical or arts

jovial nest
#

i know

vernal lion
#

even elemental dmg

jovial nest
#

that does mean this Saria can tank SK H11-4

spark sinew
#

bear in mind that she does need to ramp up

jovial nest
#

thats no issue

spark sinew
#

this did come up a couple times though

jovial nest
#

thats why I am considering potentially adding Myrtle too to setup everyone who needs to ramp up

spark sinew
#

but yeah for me it's not an issue

jovial nest
#

like Mlynar, Saria, Typhon

spark sinew
#

but you do need to be aware of it

jovial nest
#

those 3 want to be dropped asap

spark sinew
#

while saria does want to stack

#

unless you also have mlynar breathing into her shield, you want to deploy her one of the last

#

aggro management and all

jovial nest
#

I can cheat on ranged aggro a bit with Mlynar

#

tch

#

so many good choices

#

damn hard

#

Skalter can still be on the table as the de-facto buffer of everyone

#

Hell, Saria can keep her alive while she S3s

#

So there's merit to scrapping Ptilo

spark sinew
#

skalter buffs are not created equally but ChenShrug

jovial nest
#

I just love the thought that my all-purpose squad has built in de/buffers that has jobs outside of being buffers/debuffers for boss fights

#

Saria and Skalter are such

vernal lion
#

yea putting 12 perfect op is kinda hard

jovial nest
#

still it's pretty fun

#

but I'm pretty sold a bit on Saria's newfound tankiness

#

its like adding Nian/Hoshi tanky levels while having a very useful utility compared to those 2

vernal lion
#

Nian won't get powercreep'ed because of her talent

jovial nest
#

she is still part of the "very situational" category

#

compared to the considerations I'm thinking

vernal lion
#

mod Y gives 21% hp buff for all Defenders, and +4% (25% total) with talent pot

jovial nest
#

can't afford that talent pot. And my defender usage is so small at best

#

unless I'm doing Defenderknights or REALLY homing it in that Saria will be my defacto tank with that +Max HP%

vernal lion
#

Juggernaut is massive hp buff fr

jovial nest
#

yeah not a fan of using juggs anymore

#

unless it's SSS

#

and not Raythean

vernal lion
#

I'm also not a fan of "high dp cost" op

foggy grove
#

yeah i don't like juggs nowadays

jovial nest
#

there's a time for Mudrock....but her time's diminished

#

even i feel her left wanting on laning

#

solid but she really just takes care of trash mobs if we consider it. Why you'd use her is you don't want to consider sustaining her with someone else

#

and unless it's Sarkaz Lancers, Exalter's job is kinda similar now to that

#

less tanky but deals more damage

#

more prone to harass though

vernal lion
#

mob nowaday is not just that hard to kill, but their special ability tho

jovial nest
#

sometimes the solution is to just kill them faster

vernal lion
#

remember those 100% dodging enemies

jovial nest
#

Tex2 has a lot to say to those guys

#

time to read up on Virtuosa

foggy grove
#

penance has no aoe,mud dmg feels lacking

jovial nest
#

oh

#

no wonder Virtuosa sounds fun

#

i thought the ele dmg for her was done per attack

#

no it acts more like DoT in her range

#

and her S3 range is huge

vernal lion
#

yea, it acts like some kind of "poisoning attack"

jovial nest
foggy grove
#

i'm just nitpicking tbh
both works but i don't like it enough

jovial nest
#

indeed

#

I've considered the same thing for both juggernauts

#

Hmmmmm, this indeed sounds fun

vernal lion
#

the buff is not bad

jovial nest
#

sure it might be 60 SP cost for an actual 2nd use. But 40s ain't bad of a duration

#

her S3 range is also humongous

#

so whoever's nuking out there will get the ATK + 30%

#

and whoever's tanking out there will get the +HP and +DEF

#

unless it's Mlynar

#

Mlynar steals high HP unless we're considering Hoederer

vernal lion
#

Hoederer has over 10k atk, pretty sure he will

jovial nest
#

but yeah....there's merit to using her over Skalter as a more active buffer

#

the consideration now is....

#

this is making me more tempted to go Hoederer

foggy grove
#

i find it amusing how hoe can survive aak casually

jovial nest
#

Shelter is insane

vernal lion
#

shelter is just so important for them

#

now only Quartz can't survive Aak attack

jovial nest
#

Going for Skalter -> Virtuosa isn't all that bad. I lose a passive healer and perma stats buffs. But even that's debatable in how low her stats are thats worth sharing

#

Saria and Eyjaberry will carry the healing no issues

#

Saria being as tanky as a brick defender

#

she solves what Hoederer can't tank (high physical high ASPD)

#

and everything else can be solved by Hoed and having Saria heal him sounds so good too.

#

I was trying to consider a lot more options to make me reconsider not getting Hoederer. But it's making it stronger

#

Arturia's S3 solves my issue of a Physical damage buffer (Mlynar/Hoed). It's flexible enough to buff arts (Surtr) too alongside Saria S3.
It gives Mlynar/Hoederer/Surtr the HP buff and gives Saria the DEF buff

#

and then there's also the consideration that during this, any enemy that procs ele dmg gets their ATK shat on HARD

jovial nest
#

i just have an idea

#

that if the dangerous enemy counters Hoed's tankiness (weakness is high physical high ASPD comparing him to other defender tanks), I might just make him turn his back on Saria.....and let Saria tank what Hoederer cannot

#

Saria gets both her DR and Hoed's Shelter easy....and Arturia also buffs Saria's DEF

vernal lion
#

this looks fun lol

#

i am rolling my self a new acc, dude 2 hours now 1 acc per 5min

#

still didn't get exe alter

spark sinew
#

use multi instance

#

i assume your pc is quite beefy

deft badger
#

not the point normaly it takes max 20-30 rerolls

#

this banner is rigged

#

trust me 😄

#

ines i did stack up 30 accs in 5 hours with ines went to roll for mlynar then

#

got 2 with mlynar ines and my wife plays now lol

spark sinew
#

i mean again

#

you can roll like 10 accs at once

#

but it's your choice

deft badger
#

lost time on rerolling isn't the problem bro, the odds are

#

going to call it again "rigged"! 😄

spark sinew
#

i thought you were looking for solutions, i guess i misread

jovial nest
#

I actually just thought of something that will make me be more lenient in all-purpose making....consider the 13th slot to be Myrtle (easy to goddamn borrow). It's not like HG would allow you to have 13 deployment limit anyways. She'd be the usual temporary

deft badger
#

i was planning to borrow myrtle all the time now when i have some cool ops 😄

jovial nest
#

does anyone know the most common deployment limit given to us?

spark sinew
#

borrow p6 sail instead

deft badger
#

nope

#

but i think its 8

#

8 or 9

jovial nest
#

the startup's way too slow. And it only starts mattering if the map's long enough. To begin with I retreat flagbearers before Saileach even beats Myrtle

spark sinew
#

also idk myrtle looks rare in sups

#

i mean is it actually

#

considering dp reduction

#

but ig with no bagpipe flags are painfully slow anyway

jovial nest
#

indeed

#

which is why Ines is still a good one to add alongside your choice of flags

jovial nest
#

I have to consider this

deft badger
#

i bring ines anyway

jovial nest
#

that i will most likely only be laning 7 ops

deft badger
#

my gut feeling was right then 😄

spark sinew
#

ines is a given

#

way too overtuned

jovial nest
#

if 5 of the 13 ops would not be laners

#

then it's safe to say Ines and Myrtle will most likely retreat after a while

#

and just let the other 3 be the usual redep gods

#

cycling through that 1 open deployment limit

#

could also include Ines if need be

deft badger
#

not really ines is actually crazy good xD

jovial nest
#

if enemy is weak, good. She kills them fast. If enemy is tanky, good. She prints very fast

deft badger
#

of all the ops i got in the past months i rate ines 2nd

#

texas alter ines yalter

#

personal btw

jovial nest
#

squads are always personal

#

but its REALLY good to know the usual deployment limit averages

#

it really helps the decision process who should be the 7 ops laning (1 being the redep)

deft badger
#

i don't know what i like more the bind or that she goes actually invise and doesn't take dmg xD

#

doesn't take dmg if they are not in her face

jovial nest
#

the bind combos well with it

deft badger
#

that bind combos well with a lot of shit

jovial nest
#

Still need to eliminate 2. It's down to Chalter vs Typhon. And Hoederer vs Exalter (UNLESS I remove GG too).

spark sinew
#

no skalter?

jovial nest
#

Virtuosa picks up the slack

spark sinew
#

i really recommend you to run gg with and without skalter

#

you will see that gg is basically not worth the slot

#

damage is lacking (

jovial nest
#

a bit of spoilers. I'm leaning to removing Chalter and GG. But I'm gonna sleep on it for now

spark sinew
#

i wonder why hoed and exalter compete here though

jovial nest
#

Chalter's pros is that she can do true AoE and built-in DEF down for grounded units

spark sinew
#

i mean i know why but

jovial nest
#

Typhon's pros is she hits a LOT harder

vernal lion
#

I think you can still use Skalter because of how good s1m3 is

jovial nest
#

especially with DEF ignore

deft badger
#

why are u people so in to gg xD

spark sinew
#

is she?

jovial nest
spark sinew
#

the Typhon q btw

vernal lion
#

yea, Typhon is def killer

jovial nest
vernal lion
#

I think you should try Schwarz and Typhon on Cliff boss

#

to see who will be better

deft badger
#

i mean she is good but i don't like that random targeting

#

is it random targeting btw?

spark sinew
#

she's trash killer

#

leak catcher

#

stuff like that

deft badger
#

i remember i did pick her once as support and she let a op leak that was 1 hit lol

vernal lion
#

it does help for that btw

jovial nest
#

if my goddamn squad is leaking, GG is not there to solve it. It means I'm doing something REALLY REALLY badly

spark sinew
#

ok she's supplementary damage

#

that alleviates pressure

#

better?

jovial nest
#

so can redeps

#

she really only shines in tile banned areas

deft badger
#

she does recharge fast and does global but yeah random hits is what i don't like

vernal lion
#

ok you don't use her to kill mobs tho

#

boss is her favorite's target

spark sinew
#

but she still costs way less + no chance to be retaliated at

deft badger
#

i still dream about having a full caster squad xD

#

need passenger and gg

jovial nest
#

1 ops left to eliminate. If I'm counting actual lane blockers in an 8 deployment limitation, there's only 4 true blockers. It feels rough to eliminate one of them in maps that have 3-4 lanes to guard. So I think it's gonna be Chalter vs Typhon. But if I consider the redeps as extra blockers, it could also be Exalter vs Hoed.

#

although

#

ALTHOUGH

vernal lion
#

it's funny if she keeps tracking this boss

jovial nest
#

we can consider the 3 redeps as extra blockers

#

so there might be consideration for that

#

still hard to stomach

#

but it also feels really off to use both Typhon and Chalter

spark sinew
jovial nest
#

either i boot out Exalter or Chalter most likely

spark sinew
#

if we go with 12 e2

jovial nest
vernal lion
#

I don't like caster tbh

jovial nest
#

same

#

i mean

#

look at my squad

#

GG was eliminated (the only caster rep)

spark sinew
jovial nest
#

every other class rep is present

spark sinew
#

maybe i should give into sunk cost and e2 dusk

deft badger
#

i have only eyja lin ifrit mostima

eyja was the same

also this

deft badger
#

better why is carne 90 xD

dark glade
spark sinew

idr the cc name at this point

#

the one where we didn't have weedy ely

and instead had suzu

but lvl84 was for some daily on that map

spark sinew
dark glade
#

Wait i remember that

deft badger
#

kinder like it as well but the x2 charge is just meh

dark glade
#

We dont have ely on that?

spark sinew
#

no

#

no ely no weedy

#

but "we" still did as much as cn iirc

#

due to suzu

spark sinew
#

it doesn't need to overcharge

deft badger
#

don;t even have her, got her once in IS

#

she was ok

spark sinew
#

it's a bit jank in a way that you basically ignore both of her talents

#

but she's still fine cause true aoe

spark sinew

that said trimmed medals are way way harder than the r18 which were a joke i think

dark glade
#

On phase 4 looks the same imo

#

It just the tags choice are mostly bait

#

On the last day of POO 600pts is only mlynar and bunch of 3★ right?

spark sinew
#

oh ig

#

r18 was super easy d1 though

#

but yeah since medal is not timegated...

dark glade
#

Its all mlynar

i heard he's offmeta

but yeah teq>mly

dark glade
#

Is this where mlynar s1>s2

spark sinew
#

😢

vernal lion
#

okay

jovial nest
#

Eliminate Exalter because redeps can be the extra blockers needed?
or eliminate Reedic because.....who else would i eliminate? There might be enough healing/aggroing and arts without her? Skalter's value is pretty good to be kicked right now.

spark sinew
#

still coping for skalter i see

#

(being "better buffer" than virtuosa is still coping)

jovial nest
#

yeah I am considering that

#

I can kick out Skalter

spark sinew
#

that said on yato2 and degen she's not that bad

jovial nest
#

but who else to kick for last one?

spark sinew
#

but on others you probably won't notice her

jovial nest
#

she's still kinda good

#

for isolated healing and buffing as many ops as presently in map

spark sinew
#

i honestly don't like surtr if you gonna cut reedic

jovial nest
#

you're forgetting something

#

all VGs and redeps get a pass

#

due to the 8 deployment limit

#

7 has to actually stick in the map

spark sinew
#

saria won't be needed most of the time i feel

#

so she's like ephemeral laneholder

jovial nest
#

thats hilariously the thing I'm considering

#

the need for permanent bodies

#

and she's also a medic

#

i'm right now thinking....do i need 4 permanent blockers if one of the redeps can take care of any isolated laners

#

But Hoed + Saria is sounding like my kind of combo

#

Skalter also solves a bit of Exalter issues in long ranged/flying harass

spark sinew
#

she doesn't really but

#

mlynar and texas/yato do

jovial nest
#

she doesn't but it's not her only job

spark sinew
#

depending on where mlynar is located

#

taunt and all

jovial nest
#

yep

#

so the balancing act is
Degen + Hoed + Exalter as perma blockers. Eyjaberry + Skalter + Typhon + Reedic as ranged laners. and the 8th will be redeps helping as the extra needed blockers if need be.
VS
Degen + Hoed + Saria + Exalter as perma blockers. Eyjaberry + Skalter/Reedic (in contention) + Typhon as ranged laners. And 8th are any redeps that don't have the hassle of solving potential lane issues.

#

the more balanced one is top or bottom?

vernal lion
#

Degen, Hoed and Exalter combo is kinda greedy tho

jovial nest
#

Indeed

#

Thats why I'm kinda leaning on...kicking out a ground ops

#

Cause 3 ranged laners feels too lacking

#

And the issue of only 3 actual blockers is solved by better ranged support and redeps can alleviate it

#

Also if deployment limit goes to 9, its a lot better to go for the top option since Ines can help a lane if need be or 2 redeps can be active at once.

jovial nest
vernal lion
#

Hoed or Exalter

jovial nest
#

Noted

#

Most likely its gonna be Exalter

#

Think about it. So much healing in that squad. And Exalter only gets to enjoy Skalter's

Iirc anyone that cannot be healed cant be targeted by Reedic's S2. Tried it on juggs

spark sinew
#

exactly

#

exalter goes to faraway lanes

#

he's fine solo (and doesn't need skalter either)

jovial nest
#

Well thats the contention of needing the 4th hypothetical lane. Its almost impossible for HG to make a map where all 4 lanes have heavy flow of enemies. I'm banking on the long ranged nukes of the other ops solving it or the least traffic 4th lane being solved by the redeps

spark sinew
#

it's more

foggy grove
#

eh reed s2 works on juggs

jovial nest
spark sinew
#

usually you won't have all lanes in sight of a medic

jovial nest
#

Redeps dont need healing anyway

spark sinew
#

lemme hold a lane with just redeps

jovial nest
#

Also the pros of Skalter summon or Eyja S3 for such demands

spark sinew
#

and no perma vanguard

jovial nest
#

Thats also where something the like of me booting a ranged ops temporarily

#

So Ines lanes

#

The easier lanes

spark sinew
#

def works

jovial nest
#

Yeah

#

That type of flexibility works

#

So I want 4 ranged ops in team

#

3 ranged ops sound too few

spark sinew
#

although the faraway lanes won't be so easy i feel

jovial nest
#

Ground is overdoing

#

Also with Reedic present, S3 solves more trash mob issues as well

#

So less AoE is necessary

#

Thanks for the inputs. Gives me a clear idea on my squad choice

foggy grove
jovial nest
#

The fuck then. Does that mean it prios 2 other ground ops that aint enmity?

#

Cause thats what happened for me

foggy grove
jovial nest
#

Or is my luck that shit

foggy grove
#

it doesn't works for summon but enmity is fair game

vernal lion
#

it prio the highest hp I think

spark sinew
#

are you aware that it's fixed

#

it never picks randomly

jovial nest
#

But Mudrock has higher HP than Thorns and Gavialter

vernal lion
cyan gorge
#

I think it prioritizes last deployed

vernal lion
#

maybe that

lapis hornet
#

3 years later jusan still doesn't know about last deployed FoliWorried

#

doesn't seem to care about taunt tho so there's that

cold oriole
#

Ight

Theres no way Thorns was last deployed. And yet Reedter S2'd Gavialter and Thorns instead of hitting Mudrock

#

ya I'm doing he6 now

#

need more iron and stones tho

spark sinew
#

i think rma is more pita to farm outside the event? 🤔

lapis hornet
#

no idea, think rma's used bit more frequently tho on modules? been using that faster than gel

vernal lion
#

trust me, I will use 100 rock just like 100 exp records
because it's so goddamn out of stock quickly

#

and wait for ZT to farm more devices

lapis hornet
#

ya it's cause t4 rocks use nothing but rocks unlike other mats

vernal lion
#

and when a mod or skill that will eat up 4 t4 rocks

#

so that is 16 t3 rocks tho

lapis hornet
#

oh t4 rocks even need 5 t3

#

usually t4s want 3-4 t3s

#

so yeah rocks go away p fast once you need them

Okay I love love love heavyrain...but, how the actual hell does her camoflauge work? Why doesn't it work against ranged casters?

vernal lion
#

camo only makes them to not be targeted by ranged attack, but still taking splash dmg (aoe dmg)

rugged hound
#

Oh, so my units are taking splash damage, that makes sense. Thanks. I forgor the casters can deal splash damage.

#

So it's pretty much useless against casters

spark sinew
#

depends on casters

rugged hound
#

I mean most casters deal splash damage right?

karmic glade
#

If you don't place another op near camoflaged op, they still wont get damaged

spark sinew
#

it's usually 1/2 targets that they lock onto
