rugged hound
#

Yeah, but then what's the point of using it cause it doesn't cover herself. The whole point of it is to protect other operators by making her the main target

karmic glade
rugged hound
#

I'm using skill group camoflauge

karmic glade
#

Group Camouflage does cover herself

strange fable
#

Is ur heavyrain blocking the caster

#

cuz that might be why shes getting targeted

rugged hound
#

No, she's the closest, but when I activate camouflage, she's still being targetted.

Give me 30 minutes

I'll try to show it after eating lunch

erato paradox is weird

#

where's her actual partner Mr Nothing
E: oh it's blem s2

vernal lion
#

it's not weird if they bring all Sleep skills

#

Erato can snipe the first egg

spark sinew
#

i'm pretty sure i did it completely wrong

#

but it's very forgiving paradox E: so it somehow still cleared

vernal lion
#

save Blemi skill for last wave

#

all you need is just spam Kafka and Bn

latent anvil
#

Try no trust e2 l1 sl1 mayer

#

That one is fun

spark sinew
latent anvil
#

Maybe it's not possible on p1 tho

#

It's just like

spark sinew
#

can you even do this though

latent anvil
#

Triple sora rng

latent anvil
spark sinew
#

is it level/skill locked?

latent anvil
#

For Vulcan?

spark sinew
#

yes

latent anvil
#

I mean all paradox are skill locked right?

spark sinew
#

uhh
i think not all

latent anvil
#

They're supposed to be clearable at e2 1 sl7 is what I mean

spark sinew
#

that said sl1 nothing i couldn't clear

#

oh?

latent anvil
#

E2 l1 sl7 should be minimum for every para

spark sinew
#

snowsant is weird

#

i have no idea how her pull works

latent anvil
#

I can't do bibeak or feater one

#

Or nothing vulcan

#

They all sl1

spark sinew
#

yeah i have no idea how s2 pulls

#

it should pull everyone in range, no?

latent anvil
#

Er

#

Rain definitely did some testing on that

#

Cuz snowsant is very weird I remember

spark sinew
#

it feels very random on what it pulls

#

despite everything seemingly being in the range

latent anvil
#

"pre nerf snowsant just neglected shift rules and applied guaranteed unbalance"

spark sinew
#

it seems to...focus on the tip of her range

#

and has some small aoe there

#

so i probably should deploy her a tile to the left

#

ok that's def it

#

so stupid

#

snowsant clears at sl1

lapis hornet
#

yeah pullers target farthest enemy think it's common to all of them? not 100% sure I'm not a shift enjoyer

sinful sail
#

How do I most efficently use Shurayuki

spark sinew
#

i think cliff just targets regardless

#

but tbf she's limited in targets

#

yeah same with gladiia

livid delta
# sinful sail How do I most efficently use Shurayuki

After she throws a star you can activate her skill again to reset her attack animation and throw another one

When lining her up make sure the target is centered to her range or else you'll end up getting shirayuki's s2 bug

Her stars tick for 3 but sometimes the wrong angle can cause her to only tick 2

You also do it to avoid her throwing stars to dead enemies wasting her damage

sinful sail
#

What skill

livid delta
#

S2

sinful sail
#

Oh

craggy turret
#

WR-EX-6 CM? It all works out till the last wave where mlys skill doesn't last long enough. This is the squad I've had the most success with

#

Heres the set up, mumu summon is exu

fast basin
craggy turret
#

I think it's doable with a qui bai

#

The way I have it set up

#

But qui bai is never in supp

spark sinew
#

i mean we can remedy that

#

i suppose

#

or you can look up a guide how to setup it to block yeah

fast basin
craggy turret
fast basin
#

Whats your borrow unit

craggy turret
#

What I have on supp in general? I think it's dusk and mumu rn

fast basin
#

I mean what do you borrow to clear the stage

craggy turret
#

Nothing? No qui Bai on supp so idk what else to take

#

I've refreshed alot

fast basin
#

Try texalter maybe, she's nice with the stuns

craggy turret
fast basin
#

Retreat muelsyse, she's not doing any real damage i think

craggy turret
#

She's there for the bind

#

So I can group them up for mly

fast basin
#

If you want to delay them, why not put the most left box beside thorns up? So thorns can actually do something

spark sinew
#

i mean magallan or dorothy would be good to borrow

#

thorns looks iffy here but i assume you just ran out of units

craggy turret
#

Extra dmg while they just stand there

fast basin
#

Put most left bottom rb to top left

spark sinew
#

so much damage

fast basin
#

It being there make thorns pointless

spark sinew
#

is that a lot

craggy turret
#

I thought maybe Fia + stainless but they stay at the edge of her range so her dmg is negligible

spark sinew
#

can mountain push them

fast basin
#

Hell nah, that's as heavy as shieldguards

craggy turret
craggy turret
spark sinew
#

i was going to say borrow but lol

#

even if it worked gl finding mountain s3 borrow

#

i'm curious if current roster can bruteforce this without blocking at all

#

-atkspd on cm removes a lot of units though

#

like exealter feels shit

craggy turret
#

everyone feels like shit

spark sinew
#

offensive recovery feel worse

#

that said idk if i cut thorns

craggy turret
#

Main problem is the limited ranged tiles

craggy turret
#

Idk who could take over DPS from mly to get that last wave

spark sinew
#

wtf is a ranged tile

craggy turret
spark sinew
#

you can search a guide to use boxes correctly

#

i think it's supposed to be a puzzle stage

#

but HG shows their pathing like shit

#

so most people bruteforced

Brain rotting

#

ok yeah borrow yato s3

craggy turret
#

I don't think anybody would have yato S3 over S2

#

I have my own yato, just no mastery on s3

spark sinew
#

s3 is the better skill Bnuuy

lost summit
#

Try a rosmontis

#

she'

spark sinew
#

but yeah it basically oneshots

lost summit
#

s crazy for the leftovers

craggy turret
spark sinew
#

ChenShrug
do you have more slows

craggy turret
#

But she'd only attack blocked wouldn't she?

spark sinew
#

like mud saria or support dorothy

lost summit
#

Wait I'm not familiar with the map

#

I just saw Who is Real

#

sorry gimme a sec

lost summit
#

Ling is crazy too

#

4 block is nice

spark sinew
#

why don't you use mud Bnuuy

#

but on a good skill

craggy turret
#

Problem is the last wave

fast basin
#

@craggy turret

craggy turret
fast basin
#

Actual brute forced RedOmegaLul

craggy turret
#

Mostima for the slows?

spark sinew
#

but somehow my mud clears this with bad skill then

fast basin
#

Mostima module gives global slow, and she can kill leaks easily

craggy turret
spark sinew
#

qb is very meh here actually it seems

craggy turret
#

Speaking of cc 12 actually...would spectrealt die to an aak buff?

fast basin
#

Im using auto skills on all my ground units

#

If ur using stronger skills, its super easy

spark sinew
#

she suffers from the fact that her initial attacks are slow af

craggy turret
spark sinew
craggy turret
spark sinew
#

but yes i don't use mumu for that

#

she catches leaks

#

which is not needed

fast basin
#

Specalt is too tanky for aak shots i think

craggy turret
#

Damn, thought I had a big brain moment

#

Gonna walk the dog and brb

spark sinew
#

oh you have 16 blocks

#

so you can do a maze as well

#

man this map is fun with today's ops and stuff

#

back then we had what, maga?

#

brb seeing how cn did this in 2 ops

#

there's solo dorothy as well
and mlynar/texas/degen/yato

#

makes sense, they give a lot of blocks

glass monolith
#

Also there was trim medal for low roadblock use count LappDumb

spark sinew
#

oh that's why

#

well this clears pretty braindead ~~but you need to juggle last block
is there some ground slower that i'm missing

#

saria is clunky

cosmic thicket
spark sinew
#

ambushers are kneecaped byatkspd

spark sinew
cosmic thicket
#

oh it's nm not cm

spark sinew
#

there's pluma solo of normal

#

but cm condition is honestly pretty brutal for autoattackers

cosmic thicket
#

what's cm again

#

block -1?

spark sinew
#

Allied Melee Operators have decreased ASPD but increased DEF, and 3 extra Roadblocks are placed beforehand.

cosmic thicket
#

🐴

#

i see

high shadow
spark sinew
craggy turret
#

Yea sorry bak

spark sinew
#

@craggy turreti would rec borrowing yato or dorothy instead of qb also because i found out i have no slots, but also QB is kinda bad, like usual

#

way easier and they can do 99% of the map

#

you can see some cool clears on link above as well. can probably copy mlynar solo placement, you don't even need juggle blocks for the dogs, since you can kill them

lost summit
#

I got it done

#

Not too bad

#

Texalter is MVP tho

#

EX 7 is so easy though

dark violet
#

I approve using dorothy

radiant plinth

rugged hound

So how many operators are there that apply the cold condition? I want to build Aurora

cyan gorge

#

kjera gnosi aurora sant pram nvm its 5

rugged hound
#

Well I only know Aurora and Gnosis

#

Okay, good to know

#

Is there a way to extend debuff conditions?

turbid badge
#

only is relics

cyan gorge
#

apply more ReedBean

turbid badge
#

or stuff like

#

little handy

#

no operator can extend debuff time etc

radiant plinth

radiant plinth
#

ah

theres 1 problem left

Well I'm going to be off making a stall team

Freeze stall? ExuStare

why not just

Erato + Mr nothing

turbid badge
#

cross en voice : shock

unborn wind
#

can the he8 boss reduce block count to 0?

jovial nest
#

Its only -2 block

#

To all units in field

cyan gorge
#

it's -1 on phase 1, -2 on second

jovial nest
#

So a freshly dropped ops doesnt have the debuff yet

cyan gorge
#

so technically yes 2 block ops or less can have 0 block

jovial nest
cyan gorge
#

Dollkeepers can ignore the mechanics by swapping to doll form

jovial nest

Does Kazemaru have an immediate doll summoning?

i am still rerolling btw

#

started like 12 hours ago, still didn't get a acc with exe alter

jovial nest
deft badger
#

took some breaks btw

#

so do i call the banner rigged or did they make some changes when it comes to odds when u are starting a new acc

scarlet fulcrum
#

Just luck issue

deft badger
#

i suspect them for a longer time now rigging some banners
btw i don't wanna shit of them since i am more then thankful and they are generous but i have a problem with tweaking stuff

jovial nest
#

They didnt. Your luck is shit

scarlet fulcrum
#

Nah dude, i reroll often so i can tell. Its ur luck issue

deft badger
#

but i am not going by my self, that would apply if i would just evaluate what i got

jovial nest
#

I mean to begin with its like hoping you get rate up on a single 10 roll

#

For me thats a hard one to get

#

Ive never been lucky enough to experience it often

scarlet fulcrum
#

Reroll just go hard or dip

jovial nest
#

Either way, no need to go all conspiracy theory on us. Nothing afoul is happening

deft badger
#

how was texas banner for u guys?

#

lets just start there

turbid badge
deft badger
#

without even answering i guess great?

luck issu

jovial nest
#

I did a double spark on Tex2's banner. Thats not gonna be flex material enough

deft badger
#

but was it good did u have "luck"

latent anvil
scarlet fulcrum
#

Yea a lot ppl spark on there for obv reason, not standard question tbh. But few my alt got texalt from free pull if u ask

latent anvil
#

I was the first person to post texalt from free 10 in salt mines WarsmugLightBlue

deft badger
#

thats what i mean

#

and its not only that banner there are couple of them where way to many people just go over the odds

#

so that u can't call it good luck

latent anvil
turbid badge
#

why we talking about luck

foggy grove

what's cooking

300 pull pot 1 tex,pot 1 penance
What is luck RedOmegaLul

deft badger
#

btw i am not going to call it bad and great, since all the banners where a lot of people got more then lucky are great banners

#

then there are those where the odds or call it "luck" isn't that great my only problem is that i have the feeling someone is tweaking xD

deft badger
scarlet fulcrum

looking at other gacha game, not even close to ak

deft badger
#

bro like i did say arknights is great

scarlet fulcrum
#

Yeah so its luck issue, saying banner tweaked kinda bruh moment

deft badger
#

but u just go on to youtube and watch videos how people pull on banners and u will see some consistencies

scarlet fulcrum

it's to have fun mostly

To have fun....well, BG3 is still waiting for me. But have to finish Slay The Spire. So yeah. Cant relate in making 2nd playable gacha accts

boreal merlin

does anyone have any specific operator tips or strategies for darknights memoir 7 and 8 , or if there's a minimum recommended level different from the listed one ? i want to three star them so i can get the sideroca personal letter

#

info was asked for last time so here is my current roster + total operator roster 5* and above

sullen rover
#

arent you supposed to be doing the event

boreal merlin
#

it doesn't particularly interest me

sullen rover
#

it has material stages

#

and the shop gives out materials too

#

but if free mats doesnt sound interesting then you do you ChenShrug

jovial nest
#

The only logical reasoning for doing perma events instead of the present actual event are 2 things:

  1. In a rush to get as much Primes as possible
  2. Welfare ops
#

if its neither...you do you

cyan gorge
#

I barely remember DM stages but gravel was mvp for lancers and grudgebearers

foggy grove
#

anyhow dm is an old event,your ops and level looks fine

#

prolly just change your approach and mindful of the wind flow

jovial nest
#

oh and Lancers

#

even for an old event, it's devoid of a boss.

#

Even Grani (even if boss was boring AF) and HoSF had bosses

#

12 hrs....so the restoration happens during the time maintenance usually ends....weird time to release it....

cold oriole
#

prob to weed out the expoits for that gladiia cake

HOSF EX didn't have a boss

jovial nest

#

it's still A boss in the event

also i can imagine back then

#

how toxic it would be to add Pompeii in the EX stages

dark glade
#

the ergate was toxic af

you were just weak back then

back then sniper is just marksman and schwarz but we dont talk about that

blissful wren
#

Im trying IS2 again, what are good 6* ops to use?

jovial nest
#

the usual good ones for laning and nuking

#

its not as harsh as IS3 that you need some specific operators

blissful wren
#

IS2 feels more difficult than IS3 for some reason

#

cant even get past the first 1-2 floors regularly

jovial nest
#

oh i know why

#

have you leveled up your passive skill tree yet?

blissful wren
#

a little bit i think

jovial nest
#

thats usually a huge feeling of difficulty when it's not even upgraded

#

also

#

there's how it's scaled

#

maybe not

#

but IS3 was designed with 15 difficulty modifiers stacked in mind

#

while IS2 was designed with only 1 hard mode modifier per run

blissful wren
#

awh

#

im at lvl 6 in IS3

jovial nest
#

you'll get used to it

#

most of the difficulty of ISs are the experience of being blind

#

and not having a straightforward guide

blissful wren
#

Im trying to get to the specialist chips for my texas alt

jovial nest
#

due to varying recruits

dark glade
#

Are you playing in hardmode?

#

Because floor 1-2 in hardmode are ass

blissful wren
#

no, dont even have that unlocked

jovial nest
#

just keep at it

#

ISs are always at its most difficult when starting out

#

you don't have all the relics unlocked

dark glade
#

If ur strugling in normal that means you havent leveled up the skill tree and familiarize yourself with the map

jovial nest
#

you don't have skill trees unlocked

#

you don't have the good squads unlocked

#

etc

#

you don't have the store stuff unlocked

blissful wren
#

oh no, i have 0 squads unlocked other than the initial couple

jovial nest
#

yeah and those are not the strongest IS2 squads

blissful wren
#

what one is good to shoot for?

dark glade
#

All the class squad is good on is2

#

Because its free e2 without rng like is3

#

And just stay away from spearhead

#

When you just start the life point squad probably the best since you can leak stuff around and still clear

hollow epoch
#

@unborn wind if you really dont have the resources for melantha and matoi costs too much another option is just borrowing support units

#

i think that if you use either a damaging fast deploy or a low cost guard you probably can do the same thing, so texalter, projekt red, mountain, or any one of the many high damage vanguards can probably pull it off

unborn wind
#

👍

#

i don't think i saw any of those support units when i was actively trying the stage though

hollow epoch
#

you gotta refresh until you hit something

unborn wind
#

ye i hit it enough times to get like a 1 minute cooldown then decided i should probably take a break

#

i'll try again later

hollow epoch
#

probably bad luck tbh

unborn wind
#

i don't have any e2 though so no e2 supports

hollow epoch
#

if you still got issues ill friend you later and set a melantha on my support list so you can just use her

#

i dont have those fast redeps or guards but a melantha still does the job sufficiently

unborn wind
#

appreciate it

blissful wren
#

Is Shalem worth raising for IS2

tidal sedge
#

He's pretty decent in it. But he's lacking outside of it.

blissful wren
#

Going on a IS2 grind so seeing if he would be worth the resources.

turbid badge
#

No

tidal sedge
#

Hm. I'd only do it if you want to or you like him. Fortresses and guardians are still decent picks if you opt to ignore him

turbid badge
#

theres not much maps that really want to draft him for too

#

also s2 defensive recharge is pain

blissful wren
#

I have both penance and Mudrock

tidal sedge
#

I use s1 most of the time

#

But yeah you've fine defender choices in those two.

somber falcon
#

both juggernauts are a bit too expensive for is imo

#

but eh ChenShrug

spark sinew
#

you won't get much out of shalem ChenShrug

tropic valve

drowsy jewel
#

highly recommend getting the guard or sniper squad, makes runs easier

jovial nest
#

ngl with the solid ops we have now, any class squad in IS2 is great

#

Supp Def can go summoners or juggernauts

#

Caster Specs can go GG with Tex2, Ya2, Spelter, Gladiia

drowsy jewel
#

that's true but having a e2 pozy or even schwarz at the start can get you some peace of mind at some bosses

#

no need to rely on luck ChenShrug but maybe thats just me

jovial nest
#

Yeah first thing I thought of if I wanna merc Phantom boss badly is Poze Schwarz

radiant plinth
#

oh shi-

jovial nest
#

even for BSL, the first thing on my mind is a good NG with Chalter

#

so the squad has a lot of coverage

#

even Playwright is Poze centric

#

as for Ed3 boss of IS2....Specs/GG

even then, still Pozy Schwarz

they redeploy

i can e2 mountain after i get 90k more lmd but idk if he'll help here

idt elemental medics were essential in any content so it's definitely possible to clear without them

you have mlynar surtr ines bagpipe gg, the caster wont do elemental damage if its dead

I like how the duo bosses can use ch10 cannon in IS4 ed4

#

impressive

#

basically, you are not ALONE to fight this battle,
there are 2 bosses, and also each other's opponents,
if they are not blocking your op, they will fight each other

jovial nest
#

i saw lion king has ranged attacks

#

does Khagan have ranged attacks too?

spark sinew
#

smh jusan

vernal lion
#

also, Idk what is there a stage like this in IS4 ???

#

I mean, wtf

#

aren't we on winter mountain or smth?

polar crane
#

maybe this stage is one of the king past life?

#

the yellow guy look fit

vernal lion
#

or that could explain it

#

so the final battle is the battle between 2 Sargon Kings

#

wait so this relates to RA event

jovial nest
#

yes

#

but Kheshig specifically didn't even bother staying in one place

#

so Kheshig's a ruler of so many places back in the days

vernal lion
#

so ed4 bosses are Lugalszargus (yellow theme) and Kharanduu (red theme)

limpid siren
polar crane
#

finally a plinker

vernal lion
#

I can smell IS4 ed4 that you will need to remember when the cannon shooting

spark sinew
#

what cannon

vernal lion
#

IS4 ed4 cannon

#

from bosses

spark sinew
#

oh their skills?

#

don't they charge it for 5 seconds anyway

vernal lion
#

the cannon deals 3344 true dmg at d5, so it maybe higher on higher d

#

I think it's true dmg, because it dealt both same dmg on Kal'tsit and Monster

#

but it has red number

opal kiln
#

red does phys damage yellow does arts

polar crane
vernal lion
#

hmm so that

spark sinew
#

oh so you're talking about their skills

#

they should charge for 5 seconds

#

and then unleash them

vernal lion
#

but they will take more dmg whenever their hp is lower?

spark sinew
#

so there's plenty of time to prepare tbh it's also centered on their "rival" anyway

opal kiln
#

200% atk_scale for the phys damage and 300% atk_scale for the arts damage

vernal lion
#

I saw red does 1229 dmg first time,
but then the dmg increases to 2k (when 75% hp)
and later is 5k (when 25% hp)

#

that is triple dmg

vernal lion
deft badger
#

what are u playing again?

karmic glade
vernal lion
vernal lion
#

this boss stage looks hyped af

spark sinew
#

lol the squad

#

just 8 e2 6*

vernal lion
#

-4 squad size is really a pain

#

and ranged op is kinda bad here

karmic glade
#

you need certain condition to mitigate these debuffs

vernal lion
#

lol Red has 5000 def and 50 res
while Yellow has 1000 def and 90 res

sly drift
#

What is it again. Khagan vs Sargonian king?

karmic glade
#

You just entered the portal/stargate, it might even be related to endfield noclue

#

What's the best lineup to use for 2-10?

#

this is my ops btw

glass monolith
#

#strategy message That's how one of my low level operators 2-10 looked. Make sure your Texas alter don't block boss or something as boss does 100% damage in melee while ranged is like 24% of his ATK if you try to nuke him off game code ChenShrug

vernal lion
#

I wish there will be an event that we have 2 bosses, one of enemy, one for ally HellaKek

#

but, if our allied boss died, then lose -1 hp

spark sinew
#

ok satan

spark sinew
#

you know our boss will suck

vernal lion
#

always has been

glass monolith
foggy grove
#

tlk as ally vs tlk as enemy

jovial nest
#

also that's called Ch8 with ally Tal

spark sinew
#

talulah is also just not enjoyable

#

i sure love that she loses hp constantly

#

because her pathing is through damn origium tile in both? maps

tidal sedge
#

The bleed is really slow

spark sinew
#

wow i'm getting hard countered

tidal sedge
#

Can't you just point your op a different direction

spark sinew
#

i mean that works

#

but still i almost deployed the usual braindead setup out of muscle memory

jovial nest
#

The only reason I'm interested in the Rim billie event is bunny Dokutah, only reason interested in next CNY is rerunning FEater's 2nd skin (pls sell it again ffs!), and I'm more anticipating R6S rerun

karmic glade
#

screwed if emergency BlitzSmile

spark sinew
#

nvm i was right

scarlet fulcrum
#

Bleed really slow indeed, even dronefest became showcase with recent ops

spark sinew
#

bleed felt quite a bit on the other stage

#

because of how damn slow the stage is

#

and how it helidrops enemies to harass

#

i mean i'm not saying those are hard stages or that bleed made them hard, but i would hate the similar design

scarlet fulcrum
#

Its fairly slow on all her appearance

#

The bleed is

spark sinew
#

actually reminds me of the civilians in current event, especially he-8
yes it doesn't matter and is mostly cosmetic, but you don't know how many rocks they can eat for example

#

so your "planning ahead" is hindered by that
the only way to know this is to play the stage (and possibly fail because bleed ticked more than you expected and they ate 1 rock too much)

tidal sedge
#

I question how this is much different from figuring op bulk. Most folks don't look up enemy stats

#

Actually not even that

#

When you play a stage you don't even know what lanes will contain which enemies until you actually do so. Unless you look at Mapark all the time

scarlet fulcrum
#

I think normal gardener will never summon civs, its just from watchin failed auto of few ppl so not sure

tidal sedge
#

People just irrationally panic about timers. This is common in other genres too.

#

It's a common knock against Pikmin 1 to give an example

scarlet fulcrum
#

Wildscale flashback fr

#

well bsl too if draft cursed

tidal sedge
#

Bsl leaking. I should try that with newer ops.

#

Ling is really good at it. But it's interesting to try it without her

#

Oh wait. You mean racing the timer.

scarlet fulcrum
#

Indeed, tactical leak good for any ed2. Cause share the same trait ig

#

Yeah timer like, similiar to that vibe too atleast

spark sinew
#

bsl is really cursed on crown and without a note

royal rose
#

Is Mama John’s New Plate unbeatable on Challenge Mode?

#

I swear devs should be forced to beat their own creations with super-weak roster

spark sinew
#

with super weak roster, maybe

#

depends how weak we're talking (but not like emergency is needed for you to beat, if you indeed have shit roster, which you don;t)

#

it's definitely hard though SwireKek

royal rose
#

Four lanes to guard is stupid

spark sinew
#

technically 3

royal rose
#

I literally can’t get my good units up fast enough

#

Yeah, but it’s still stupid

#

Too many strong enemies too fast

#

It’s not fair

spark sinew
#

i liked the fact that it's hard and forced different strategies to deal with so many threats

royal rose
#

Only way I can beat it is if I get to stack my deck, choose my starting hand and automatically delete the boss

spark sinew
#

but i liked it after beating it

royal rose
#

Well, I am not KyostinV

spark sinew
#

can't say i sang the praises before beating it

royal rose
#

Nor am I a pro

spark sinew
#

Cirno beat it with just one 6* for example

#

so it's not like it's that hard of a stage

royal rose
#

Yeah, with perfect draws and plays and artifacts

#

Those damn DP draining BS units should be removed

spark sinew
#

what artifacts Bnuuy

royal rose
#

This kind of difficulty should be punished

royal rose
spark sinew
#

ah, so not rng
didn't seem like he had perfect draw either

#

but it's not like you're punished for resetting

royal rose
#

You literally need to be able to move your whole team up

#

Or deploy super fast

#

Literally can’t win with this team

#

Literally five seconds into the stage one gazillion mobs show up

#

Just fire whoever made this stage

dark violet
#

Sounds like a skill issue

#

Use dorothy

spark sinew
#

eyja s2 is kinda eugh, if we gonna critique

#

eyja or suzu early on can wipe/slow down stuff for you to deploy i believe

#

to setup a typical mlynar carry probably not too familiar with mlynar centric strats

royal rose
#

God this stage is a crime against humanity

dark violet
#

No

royal rose
#

Whoever made it should be forced to SilverGun it

spark sinew
#

wait is this GG s2

royal rose
#

While being beaten with a stick

#

The problem is I need to build three lanes at once plus a carry

spark sinew
#

it doesn't look like s3

royal rose
#

That is just not possible

#

It is S2

#

But I literally can’t build theee blockers + a carry

#

It is impossible

#

Not in the type we get

dark violet
#

This map makes melee ops a lot more important. You have way too many casters

spark sinew
#

@tropic valve make him borrow a schwarz instead of getting a mlynar

royal rose
#

I don’t have any mega-stacked super strats

dark violet
#

Guards

royal rose
#

Yeah, but they Guard equipment is bad though?

#

Who would I run anyway?

dark violet
#

Specter is super advantaged here

royal rose
#

Lords are too squishy

spark sinew
#

well all the casters suck, if we're being honest
except gg eyja
their stacks are also ew
either bring snipers or bring another melee carry like penance and run more vgs

royal rose
#

And so is Mountain

#

And the DP drain is pain

#

Snipers are also too weak

#

ASPD is cool, but they just do chip damage in the long run

#

Caster stacks are also nutty

dark violet
#

You could go AH goo, makes ot easy

spark sinew
#

they're cheaper and they have better equipment

royal rose
#

SP regen is prime real estate

spark sinew
#

i mean casters stacks are...alright

dark violet
#

What A B are tou using

#

Please no aspd for sniper

spark sinew
#

i won't say they're better than snipers
but you clearly have the issue with casters costing a lot, so this affects you: can't deploy in time

#

||sniper A are better, what||

royal rose
#

A on Sniper

dark violet
#

Sniper B is much better here. More atk and health

spark sinew
#

oh, here
hmm

#

idk i usually run sniper a, if any
because they're nutty on gg

#

if you're using good skill

dark violet
#

There's no ranged tiles so it's valuable

spark sinew
#

yeah that's fair

royal rose
#

I mean, GG is so squishy and her ATK is so low

#

Marksman Snipers also have very low attack

spark sinew
#

gg also solves this map dp drain devices later on

royal rose
#

I basically need one thingamabob to rule them all

dark violet
#

Also I started using snoper B in general because more atk is more valuable for dorothy. Aspd is useless

spark sinew
#

i would rec you to drop casters honestly, in the future at least
try snipers just as pure stacks

#

don't bother with getting "value" out of them

dark violet
#

If you use casters pick durin

royal rose
#

Crap

spark sinew
#

you can add like chalter pozy and shred, but outside of that, just pick cheap shit

royal rose
#

I don’t know what to do

#

I don’t have Dorothy

dark violet
#

Find another believer in support

royal rose
#

I am not sure what equipment to pick or anything

#

I want to cry

spark sinew
#

this can def clear, don't reset

dark violet
#

Yeah, good vanguards

spark sinew
#

did you try eyja s3 (also swap gg to s3)
get some vangs early, get eyja/suzu to stall

#

and setup your mlynar

royal rose
#

I reset

#

To hell with SSS

dark violet
#

Sadge

spark sinew
#

your call

dark violet
#

Dorothy is able to carry tgis map, you just need 3 extra healing bodies and the mines will deal with the boss, the devices and the enemies

#

AH and dorothy stomp it

royal rose
#

Yeah, only Dorothy I have on my Friends list is S3M2 and has no module

dark violet
#

Rip. Mine is no pots, but I could set her for one day I guess

#

Stack +40% atk guards on her. Only 1, max 2 sp stacks, more is waste

vernal lion
#

sniper b is good for mountain fr

spark sinew
#

can also defender b on other maps

vernal lion
#

I think Gladiia work too

dark violet
#

Yeah AH and dorothy means I'm a snoper B believer now

spark sinew
#

run sniper b on aak

#

only god and himself can keep it alive now

royal rose
#

Wait, I thought SP stacks were the best ones?

#

Just spam skills forever?

dark violet
#

On dorothy there's no point, deployment cd means hard limit

#

Also her mines go at 300 and 600% atk modifier, so extra base atk is insane

#

I use specialist retreat stack to recycle since modt of mine are final ops

royal rose
#

Oh, for Dorothy only

spark sinew
#

i wouldn't say that sp stacks are the best
a shitton of units likes aspd a lot

#

basically every good ranged carry for example

#

vang stacks are good for melees though, yeah

dark violet
#

Meanwhile I prefer atk stacks since it skyrockets through defenses

spark sinew
#

well...the ranged attackers i had in mind used arts

dark violet
#

Aspd is abysmal for chalter

spark sinew
#

so yeah

#

idr any good physical carry though

#

||and idt chalter is one||

dark violet
#

Sje def does the job

#

But not if you're using aspd stacks

spark sinew
#

in fact i believe part of the reason why aspd carries are good is because snipers are cheap

#

that's why pass < leizi don't @ me

vernal lion
#

aspd is usually good for arts dmg, because it's % number
while physical dmg and def are raw number, you really want big number for atk tho

spark sinew
#

🏃‍♂️

dark violet
#

When using pallas I also go for max atk. Any op that has high % skill modifier benefits more than aspd

#

Andreana with max atk stacks too is funny

spark sinew
#

yeah they work, don't get the wrong idea, I'm not arguing for that

dark violet
#

Tje reason I don't use aspd is likely because I don't use arts damage beyond dorothy who hates aspd

spark sinew
#

but the cost of investment for full stacks is higher, if we go by ranged examples (snipers)
and several insane ranged stacks until they ran out of favor for mlynar penance all were good and interchangeable+ worked with braindead and cheap 3 sniper + 2 caster/sniper stacks

#

like gg suzu or leizi

vernal lion
#

I tried Horn s1 with +200% atk, she did almost 8-9k dmg lol

limpid siren
#

Leizi sweep

spark sinew
#

i was not sold on her module when initially announced
but it's just great

vernal lion
#

I go 3 spec b and 2 sniper a for gg, she absolutely goes wild

#

or you can just go full spec b

royal rose
#

Yeah, I suck at SSS

dark violet
#

Embrace the dorothy

#

I can borrow you jer

spark sinew
#

borrow penance and refine the strat

#

penance is optional

#

in both meanings

dark violet
#

Penitent one

royal rose
#

I have Penance

#

With S3M3

#

But she seems bad

#

Since SSS is all about figuring out how to not get statchecked to death

#

And Penance is both stupidly expensive (bad because cost rocks and DP drain nonsense) and also dependent on killing enemies to work

limpid siren
#

Vanguard stacks fix her skill uptime nicely, don’t they?

dark violet
#

I can see jer sjreddi'g with a few block stacks

spark sinew
#

penance is a premium melee carry i heard

limpid siren
#

Ground carries imply vanguards anyway, so dp cost isn’t really an issue either

spark sinew
#

people literally run her+ mlynar and vangs+supporters e0 to cycle

limpid siren
spark sinew
#

but for current map you would like a bit more (and you also have mudrock already in squad)

dark violet
#

Vigil unironically good for early

limpid siren
#

Probably a losing move for someone like penance

spark sinew
#

adding block seems pog for like

#

reapers

#

but i only tried exalter once, idk how he actually performs

dark violet
royal rose
#

Again, DP drain is pain

limpid siren
royal rose
#

The boss literally tells you to run Jerboa + AH, know what you are doing, get mad good RNG or just give up

spark sinew
#

you had gg but on wrong skill for some reason

dark violet
#

Use dorothy to kill the devices GG is great too

royal rose
#

Also, Sniper A just doesn’t do it for me

#

Weak intermediates for what, a super-fast GG?

limpid siren
#

+block on a reaper is a damage loss from opportunity cost

spark sinew
#

i mean knowing what you're doing is always important

royal rose
#

Even so, GG will be atrocious off-skill

spark sinew
#

you can hardly blame an optional challenge map for that

#

that allows for infinite resets and doesn't punish you for them

spark sinew
#

she's the same thing

limpid siren
dark violet
#

Now I can consider other strats

royal rose
#

Yeah, I probably won’t even try anymore TBH

#

I got wrecked by the first round of SSS

#

I don’t think I got all the medals from last time either

#

Think the Acahuallan Jungle made me mald too hard

tidal sedge
#

Hm. Exe alter in this SSS rotation

dark violet
#

The dorothy hunting grounds

tidal sedge
#

Raytheon sounds potentially annoying for him

spark sinew
#

stainless tech

#

surely

royal rose
#

I literally don’t have Dorothy

#

What does she even do?

#

Her attack stat is abysmal and her traps are low impact DP eaters

spark sinew
#

orian slowly becomes cirno

dark violet
#

She places aoe mines anywhere

spark sinew
#

channel when

royal rose
#

I guess you need a super computer for a brain to use Dorothy?

dark violet
#

No, the opposite

spark sinew
#

unga bunga place traps

dark violet
#

Just go boom hahaha

spark sinew
#

win

dark violet
#

You can mind it a bit with preplacing for chain reaction

#

But she workq fine as ifrit 2

tidal sedge
#

I don't understand how Dorothy got the reputation of needing a galaxy brain to use

royal rose
#

When’s her event rerunning?

tidal sedge
#

The cc on her skills is equivalent or longer than trap cd

dark violet
tidal sedge
#

She's the most forgiving trapper by far

dark violet
#

I'm not memeing when doing it

royal rose
spark sinew
#

Dorothy does have some downsides that in some maps just suck

dark violet
spark sinew
#

like on slow dp regen maps

dark violet
#

Yeah, that's one of the only weakness

#

And that's pretty much only for CC

royal rose
#

Or DP drain maps like LT-6?

spark sinew
#

no places to deploy traps?

#

that is4 new map comes to mind

royal rose
#

Also, I have no clue how she and the AH help there

spark sinew
#

literally 0 tiles for her

dark violet
#

Rarely crippling unless it's ranged only map

royal rose
#

The AH are chunky stat-sticks, but that only helps so much

spark sinew
#

obviously it's an exception but

dark violet
limpid siren
#

same rep summoners have

royal rose
#

Aye, but you need true AoE too

#

And Gladiia S3 barely counts

#

Because the stages just throw so many chunky enemies at you

dark violet
#

Lol, her S3 really counts. But dorothy is the aoe here

royal rose
#

It’s like a never ending tide of nigh unkillable freaks

spark sinew
#

someone like mag requires way more resets though. Dorothy even works in blind stages nicely

personally i think people just parrot

#

someone said she needs a brain, people don't pull and dissuade others

#

so there are very few people using op

dark violet
#

Yeah, dorothy got done dirty

limpid siren
#

it's the dorothy solos that take resets

dark violet
#

When she's so good

limpid siren
#

same for summoner low ops

#

trappers slot into general squads more easily because they don't gobble deploy slots

royal rose
#

I hate SSS so much

dark violet
limpid siren
#

ling also plays pretty nicely with general squads, because her summons are still decent uses for a deploy slot even in a stacked squad

spark sinew
#

the issue with trappers before dorothy i had is the deploy tiles one

royal rose
#

But what do you even stack Dorothy with?

limpid siren
#

atk

spark sinew
#

but Dorothy also has aoe in her kit, so...

royal rose
#

I thought Guard stacks are bad?

limpid siren
#

why

dark violet
limpid siren
#

her trap damage is a function of her own atk

dark violet
#

Unironically making dobermann great because ranged tile

royal rose
#

So I need to choose a single core operator and build around them?

#

Like spamming Snipers with equipment A and GG?

limpid siren
#

having a couple cores is nice

#

but yea

dark violet
#

Focusing on a carru helps, try to have one ranged and one melee

limpid siren
#

focus on a few carries, bonus points if they share stacks

limpid siren
#

ground carries and ranged carries need different stacks, which makes your deck less consistent

#

better to focus on ground or ranged

dark violet
#

Depends, since I need atk I share both

limpid siren
#

it doesn't depend

#

an inconsistent deck can still work

#

but there's not really a good reason to build that way

spark sinew
#

i pick random shit and make my deck worse

#

because of the quests to add defenders or something

dark violet
#

The reason is that whichever one goes out first is still good enough to wait for the other

spark sinew
#

actually makes it harder and a bit more interesting so not complaining

dark violet
#

At the end, you could get screwed and have your one carry at tge end

limpid siren
#

wouldn't need to wait if you didn't have to deal with hunting different fodder for each carry

spark sinew
#

since you can deploy rangeds on melee tiles

limpid siren
#

🧐

dark violet
spark sinew
#

jank

#

there are two
but sure we also draw vangs

dark violet
#

Joker

fast basin
#

Do you do your sss everytime igneus?

spark sinew
#

actually vangs don't help cause they're only ranged

limpid siren
#

it's boring

fast basin
#

I cant bring myself to play it, not even once

limpid siren
#

the game mode doesn't have enough nuance

dark violet
#

I just clear it fast with ly unoptimal strats and dorothy lakes it fun.

vernal lion
spark sinew
#

does is4 have shawl

fast basin
#

Sss literally makes me wan to kms

vernal lion
#

why do they bring every event into this IS4 lol

polar crane
#

they didn't bring NL enemies thumbsup

vernal lion
#

they do

#

there's a secret stage with all Nightmora enemies

polar crane
#

oh ya

#

I forgot

#

they didn't bring Ling event enemy

vernal lion
#

hope so

dark violet
#

Ubi but they're all dragons

spark sinew
#

||sss is kinda okay/fun ||

dark violet
#

Current sss is fun for me

spark sinew
#

you also have all those quests and new unlocks to complete pokedex

dark violet
#

Dorothy certainly helps making everything fun, but there's more to it

spark sinew
#

and you need to do 1 regular+ 1 emergency map for full rewards

#

so does not really feel grindy

polar crane
#

first clear happi (module block)
2nd clear Wokege

dark violet
#

Yeah, and shorter maps with only 6 stages and lower stat caps

fast basin
#

1st clear only

#

Even then i dont even do emergency

#

I missed 1 map rotation of sss also

#

Account damaged

polar crane
#

yo lind did you watch xqcOW's rp clip
look kinda funPlink

dark violet
#

Emergency spices up more than cm so it's fun

fast basin
#

Saw some clips, gonna watch vods later

#

🫡

spark sinew
#

is emergency just stat buff

#

and those concrete blocks obv

#

oh wait yeah it depends on the map as well

#

like stronger fog

dark violet
#

Or higher atk on first strike

spark sinew
#

on mama john?

dark violet
#

Yeah

royal rose
#

What’s the trick to building a good SSS deck?

#

Feels like picking the right units is super difficult

#

You need like two carries, the right support structure for both and good draw RNG to set up before you get drowned in goons

spark sinew
#

pick 2-3(or more) carries and pick their fodder

#

you don't need rng

vernal lion
#

quickest way to get all module blocks every month is do emergency sss,
1 full run and another run till f3-4

spark sinew
#

some stuff like e0 bards are really good for the rest of the slots

dark violet
#

I complete the runs for the marks

royal rose
#

And then you need healers too to keep your team alive

spark sinew
#

basically don't pick ops that you think are "good" but cost like 30

dark violet
#

I don't use healers except for fog map

spark sinew
#

i use saria and nearl
maybe reedic if feeling soicy

dark violet
#

Instead using gummy nearl for early setup until I drop my AH with extra block

royal rose
spark sinew
#

those are carries

dark violet
#

Durin is great for cheap caster

spark sinew
#

carries are exempt
I'm talking about like, picking e2 supporters over e0 ones

#

or very pricey snipers/casters that aren't carries

dark violet
#

I always have dobermann for the +40% atk on any op

royal rose
#

Yeah, I kinda have all my supporters raised

spark sinew
#

justice knight > fartooth
bottom text

#

stuff like that

vernal lion
#

if you don't have many good op, just pick some the best op to carry and the rest is just fodder

dark violet
#

Ling is an option for temp use before the good carries

royal rose
#

IDK what even is a good carry

vernal lion
#

it's more like op that is a carry in SSS

royal rose
#

Like, I don’t have Dorothy and I can’t use Mlynar or GG properly

dark violet
#

GG, Dorothy, others I guess, I used chalter a bit

spark sinew
#

penance mly are fine
what was the problem with mlynar?
