strategy

[quick pecan]

bc the second one is better

[turbid badge]

oh

[quick pecan]

that too

[turbid badge]

first ones good too

tf

[foggy grove]

ye no regret

[turbid badge]

u want to see the sheathe animation

[quick pecan]

his chibi with new skin has the horns on the right side of his head in the sprite

[turbid badge]

[quick pecan]

oh he gotta whip it out

[full finch]

skins with different horns

saria moment

[turbid badge]

lol

[full finch]

both of her skins have completely different horns

[turbid badge]

ones boc its fine trust

[quick pecan]

it took them like

three different sprites

for them to make bagpipes horns fully purple

💀💀

[turbid badge]

wait what

[quick pecan]

the chibi has like

brownish horns

on the first

brownish into purple on the racetrack one

[turbid badge]

wtf there purple

[quick pecan]

the newest skin has the most purple horns

[full finch]

discord deleted images

dies of cringe

[quick pecan]

she just takes them off and switches like a lego

[turbid badge]

she just grows more horn

snh

[full finch]

headband

[foggy grove]

detachable horns

[glass monolith]

detachable face

[limpid siren]

stinky

[turbid badge]

detachable daughter

[limpid siren]

khant only likes him because his alternative is adnachiel

[latent halo]

isnt him your only male aa

[sly pivot]

okay and?

[full finch]

insider actually pretty good

[sly pivot]

🥹

what point are u making

[limpid siren]

i don't like him

[sly pivot]

die

[quick pecan]

wtf flopped

[full finch]

his skill has lag at the beginning

but it's pretty good otherwise

[latent halo]

Tried once on brozen token

[limpid siren]

i die of old age before he kills anything

[latent halo]

His total dmg is kinda sad

[full finch]

true

[limpid siren]

it makes sense for the fast cycle

[sly pivot]

30k for 20s

decentish

[limpid siren]

but i'm swamped with like 30k total damage skills

[full finch]

good for killing ranged or flying things

[sly pivot]

i made the number up

[turbid badge]

swamped

[limpid siren]

it is around that number

[sly pivot]

am i right?

oh nice

[latent halo]

80k 20s skill cost - ray

[sly pivot]

buddy

[full finch]

30k total damage

[quick pecan]

me when ray is free and 5*

[sly pivot]

im surprised its not 100k

how is it only 80k

[turbid badge]

the ammo is Limited

[latent halo]

Slow reload speed , should've make it 0.2 sec

[full finch]

imagine having to reload a gun

[turbid badge]

colshot

[quick pecan]

cold shot mommy

[turbid badge]

🫡

[spark sinew]

just pull ray

[full finch]

-jessica, probably

[spark sinew]

shrimple

[sly pivot]

damn thats disappointing...

not 100k club

zzz

i sleep

[full finch]

not 100k
literally unusable

[quick pecan]

i would’ve liked cold shot more if firewatch and andreana didn’t exist

she ok for welfare ig

[full finch]

what's the skill duration for ray

[sly pivot]

20s

ish

[latent halo]

30

[sly pivot]

bruh

[latent halo]

20 if kill

[quick pecan]

skill duration

[sly pivot]

actually 30s duration?

[turbid badge]

she doesnt get affected by aspd so you can have some fun with something like p2 highmore idk

[latent halo]

Does exe makes insider a better unit

Or schen

[quick pecan]

bold of u to assume i play is3

[latent halo]

[spark sinew]

wait s3 is only 30 sp?

[near folio]

So how do I fight P2 like this?

[latent halo]

30/16

[sly pivot]

damn even less than 20

[latent halo]

If kill in skill duration , gain 10 sp

[spark sinew]

kinda?
she still shoots slowly

just reloads at the same speed

[turbid badge]

yeah

[latent halo]

And 16 sec up time perfectly matches warf

[sly pivot]

warf in this day and age

🤣

[spark sinew]

how do you usually use s3
the clause of "i reload to full" doesn't matter right

you don't play around it?

[sly pivot]

prolly have to, to get max dmg

[dark glade]

You dont

[sly pivot]

but she already has shit high dmg

[dark glade]

You get the same shot

I think someone list it here but o forgor

[sly pivot]

isnt it eating the time if she has to reload to full when skill start

[spark sinew]

it also only applies to the first "burst" i think

[dark glade]

Yea or shes out of ammo in the end of duration and reload just before skill end

[spark sinew]

so after that she dumps ammo one by one

[sly pivot]

surely 0 ammo s3 vs max ammo s3 is diff

[peak cloak]

where is your wandering medic?

[sly pivot]

cause 0 ammo reloads to full

[latent halo]

Ray scales good

[sly pivot]

and then fire

its really minor tho

w/e

[near folio]

Trying to do 5 star only no berries challenge

Ok maybe not

Since gummy is there

[sly pivot]

tf just amiya

[limpid siren]

apparently there's an ideal midpoint

[turbid badge]

amiya on da more

[latent halo]

Like , 2 more shots ?

[turbid badge]

so res stay good 🙏

[sly pivot]

amiya is ture... 🥹

ignores mechanic

2 shots of like 6k or smth

[dark glade]

So mostly 1 shot diff

[sly pivot]

okay 10 shots and 8 shots is alot

[turbid badge]

thats alot of shots

[sly pivot]

when this bitch does 6k per shot

[limpid siren]

oh it is just max > not max

[turbid badge]

imagine being hit 10 times

[sly pivot]

really minor tho

[quick pecan]

buffing / debuffing seems like a fringe use case for ray outside of maybe a few situations

she already has such high dph

[sly pivot]

but still smth u can maximise

[quick pecan]

and it’s on a fast cycle too

[near folio]

Debuffing is def not fringe

[limpid siren]

warfarin is a good buff for her

when she has like 3 different sources of atk_scale

[near folio]

Her damage scales great with shamare doll

[latent halo]

Yes , 2 more shots

[limpid siren]

shamare doll?

why

[near folio]

50% def cut

[limpid siren]

6k dph already def punches everything

[sly pivot]

she gets to do 500 more dmg on 1k def target...

yummy...

[limpid siren]

surely +90% atk is more help than -50% def

[latent halo]

Schwarz 12 shots vs ray 10 shots

[limpid siren]

whatever ray can't def punch, you're probably not using phys to kill that anyway

throw ceobe at it

[near folio]

4000 def mob coming soon trust

[spark sinew]

the ranges are so different it's better we don't compare them

[vernal lion]

we have khagan

[dark glade]

Is4 boss is alr 6250 def

[spark sinew]

or else schwarz is gonna look even worse

[limpid siren]

compare everything in the game

[dark glade]

But you just ceobe that

Not ray

[limpid siren]

why be afraid of comparisons

[spark sinew]

i was dunking on black

[sly pivot]

bro we compare to choose who deserves to be in the 13 slots of ur team

[spark sinew]

that range is so much worse

[limpid siren]

compare insider to ray

both dph snipers

[spark sinew]

and there's also target priority

[sly pivot]

insider sweeps

[near folio]

Well... at least schwarz is semi fast redeploy

[spark sinew]

that she can't manipulate

[latent halo]

How

[limpid siren]

insider sweeps the floor back at rhodes island

because he was left behind

[sly pivot]

🥹

u see if they both do dmg

u can compare them

🫡

[quick pecan]

comparing 5* to 6* is usually how i end up receiving psychic damage from #help

[sly pivot]

u dont get it greyyter > rosm

[quick pecan]

real and factual!!

[near folio]

So I realise I just die to phase 2

[quick pecan]

this is the comparison i am here for

[latent halo]

We also have Ely > sail

[near folio]

Top lane cant hold up

[sly pivot]

fair enough

[near folio]

[sly pivot]

sail sucks balls

[tidal sedge]

Interesting. She won't put bottles on fenced tiles. That's actually surprisingly thoughtful QoL

[limpid siren]

neat

[quick pecan]

did you leak bc embers

[latent halo]

Says the one who don't own p6

[near folio]

Yeah my toplane dps is nonexistent

[sly pivot]

ure crazy if u think i dont just use myrtle

[near folio]

Is basically specter s1 with shamare doll

[quick pecan]

huh

[near folio]

They rush you with a few big boys on the top at 300

[vernal lion]

I can feel that, even with 2k dps is still not enough

[quick pecan]

my teq placement

had dual lane coverage

helped a lot

[vernal lion]

I'm cooking for Fia strat right now

[quick pecan]

it is essentially a poor man’s mlynar placement but it still does pretty well

[near folio]

I went low for bottom lane cause I wanted to trap eblana on mud tile

But I just realised one teq S2 and shes dead

This isnt EX-8 CM

[latent halo]

Teq s3

[quick pecan]

yeah she’s honestly paper

[vernal lion]

so there are 2 issues with Fia

[sly pivot]

surely u dont leak the pottery

[latent halo]

I love how u buff the defenders but fia

[vernal lion]

healing and the burning reed

[sly pivot]

no shot those2 are lacking heals

[vernal lion]

I'm testing that

[near folio]

Burning reed shouldnt be a problem there

[quick pecan]

that is a honey berry placement of all time

[latent halo]

She won't do enough dmg , trust me

[vernal lion]

caster tho

[sly pivot]

yea

the fuckers are tanky

[near folio]

The reed gives invis

[sly pivot]

near reeds

burning reeds*

[vernal lion]

I mean, the caster will BURN it

[near folio]

And the casters arent gonna die near fia if she is aiming all the way to the right

[sly pivot]

oh wait maybe 20 caster explosions on skalter kills her

[near folio]

They only burn if they attack an op on the reed itself

But reed gives invis

Caster cant see

[vernal lion]

[near folio]

Only problem will come when the cars arrives

[quick pecan]

the casters suck

[near folio]

The casters dont burn every reed on sight

[quick pecan]

why my casters so mid in comparison when they’re that cracked

[near folio]

They are like normal casters

They attack anyone they can see

[quick pecan]

they’re just nasty when they combo into a burn

burn proc + caster hit = dead ranged usually

if fast enough

[sly pivot]

just go off the assumption every reed is burning

[glass monolith]

"I didn't ask size of the room, I said I cast fireball"

[near folio]

Yeah thats why I put mint there

She can survive burn proc + caster explosion

But Mint has 0 dps on toplane

Refraction mobs + big hp

[vernal lion]

they burn here, now how do I solve that

I can only use puller to pull them away

[near folio]

Oh right

Actually no

Honeyberry blocks the fire

[vernal lion]

caster kill her

[quick pecan]

greyy alt is just

too good for this map

[near folio]

Put another ranged bait for the gunners

[vernal lion]

and later Eblana will kill her too

[near folio]

Fast redeploy or shamare doll her bind

[quick pecan]

slow, multi hit, arts to help with cars, tanky enough to survive burn procs

[soft salmon]

Bruh, ok

I can't tell if I'm doing smth wrong on the 8th stage or if the boss is just really tanky

[spark sinew]

you need to use mechanic

break the soda bottles near him

[foggy grove]

it's tanky if you don't pop his shield

it's 70% dmg reduction

[soft salmon]

OHH

Ok yeah, that's why

Tried to fight the boss with his full shield

[scarlet mortar]

it's also a hitcount-based shield so no you can't activate mlynar skill it

[vernal lion]

lol Fia died because of burn elemental burst

[soft salmon]

hitcount-based?

[scarlet mortar]

150 hp, each hit reduces it by 1hp

[soft salmon]

oh ic

[vernal lion]

reduce 2 hp tho

[scarlet mortar]

if an op is standing next to a geyser, 2

[celest bluff]

What are you even doing

[vernal lion]

Fia strat

[scarlet mortar]

the soda reduces it by 50

[soft salmon]

Oh, hence it's necessary role in killing the boss

[soft salmon]

I should actually read the tutorials

[vernal lion]

Fia s3 I mean

[celest bluff]

Hmm

[spark sinew]

you can just not proc s3

[celest bluff]

You can use s3

[vernal lion]

that's meanless

[spark sinew]

depends on the goal

it does achieve the clear with fia s3

[celest bluff]

The enemy is weak enough

[vernal lion]

goal or not, if you leaked, you failed

[vernal lion]

tell that you my Blaze that deal only 1 dmg to the big ghost dude

[celest bluff]

I coping with specter and lapp

[vernal lion]

I cope solokill op

[celest bluff]

No blaze

What is solokill

[vernal lion]

1 op basically

[spark sinew]

[tall cairn]

Mizuki is not real.

[celest bluff]

You're crazy for doing 1 op in annihilation

[vernal lion]

Mizuki to prevent burning

[celest bluff]

Why you must do this to yourself

[vernal lion]

I mean, 1 op to solo 1 lane,
do you even understand

[spark sinew]

he does shitton of damage though

[vernal lion]

E1 ?

[celest bluff]

Hmmm

I guess you can still use Fia and clear

[vernal lion]

I can just use Ethan s1 to kill the ghost things

[celest bluff]

Just use bong cloud

If you high enough then any strat would work

[vernal lion]

nah, I'm a perfectionist

I need to find the best look for strat

[scarlet ledge]

kfc

[glass monolith]

Use Stainless S3 to have turrets do damage:
Use Stainless S3 as way of charge offensive recovery:
Use Stainless S3 to have chain casters chain faraway enemy:
Use Stainless S3 to give Mizuki S3 2 targets in range:

[lethal dragon]

Not use stainless to save a slot from being wasted:

[spark sinew]

worse ways to waste a slot

[weak trench]

Eyja Alter hard carry

[hexed fable]

greetings

I need help

with anni

[dark glade]

Greetings

Im not competent enough to help in anni

Wait a while and see if anyone reply

[hexed fable]

okie dokie

[small thorn]

Anyone can help with placement on SL-8 for 3*?

[mossy ore]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/739434292295237682/1196876807790665768/image.png?ex=65b93963&is=65a6c463&hm=0e2ad72f8ad489600d4978d53172aa1f1e8b454ae5b1f40a311184b33f03be52&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1021&height=575

i think this kal and marksman placement works

(ignore the rest of the operators)

[dark glade]

Just bunch everything botlane with healer works

[vernal lion]

post your squad

[mossy ore]

ye

[dark glade]

Burst when dolly afk

Gg should have good enough hitcount to break shield too

[small thorn]

How should I use cola? since sometimes my units gets one shot, but not sure when to cola the boss or my units

[mossy ore]

you wont even need cola at bot lane

[dark glade]

You need to be aware of your last deployed ops and pink cloud around your ops

Since last deployed ops will get nuked

And the pink cloud explode in 4 tiles around

Prioritize safety

And pop soda to burst

[small thorn]

Oh so I can just keep a unit isolated and pop cola when purple clouds around?

[dark glade]

Yea

Thats why redeploy are good

[small thorn]

Where should I place my units tho

[dark glade]

This is an example

[small thorn]

But who is who?

[dark glade]

[small thorn]

Like where do I place GG

[spark sinew]

i took inspiration from kyo

[dark glade]

Chalter on exu

[spark sinew]

it's super overkill though

[dark glade]

Gg beside

Eyja on the right

And get someone in the middle where nobody is in the row

Kal pos can stay

Get some redeploy to destroy soda and bait sheepnado

And burst when dolly reach bot part

[hexed fable]

@vernal lion

[vernal lion]

ugh

this is for anni?

[hexed fable]

yeah

ashy marsh

[vernal lion]

are there any other raised op?

[hexed fable]

wait

[small thorn]

Finally did it, thanks for the tips

[rose patrol]

Swire bottles doesn't work on floaters

[vernal lion]

have those op had m3 skill or not

[hexed fable]

some do

like surtr, thorns, mudrock, mountain

[vernal lion]

even Swire deploying bottle on it, the floater will disappear due to a deployment has performed on it

[glass monolith]

And water make worst Sailors at entire Terra sink

[vernal lion]

let me test a bit, your squad looks weird to do

[hexed fable]

👍

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its called mlynar n friend like usual

[vernal lion]

I assume Mlynar is the only way to clean heavy mob

[hexed fable]

my mlynar is m3

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah few helidrop too

Teq also works on most of the mobs, but like u have mlynar

[foggy grove]

is this income even good lol

[glass monolith]

[sly drift]

Should we care about it?

[foggy grove]

okay so i guess it's on the lower side

no

[sly drift]

Aren't we will get all the reward eventually

[glass monolith]

Well there are medal and reward you can potentially lose if you play as bad as one can

I guess

Need alt account which does nothing but score as low as physically possible

[civic bear]

Later days is like multiplied so hard I doubt you can not get all

[sly drift]

How do we decide the price without using the scout option

Today we only have 4 times scouting option somehow

[foggy grove]

save scouting option for price

[sly drift]

Compared to you all i guess I'm going to bankrupt

[ocean ether]

can kal survive here? would she be detected? She is out of range of eyja alter

[sly drift]

Maybe idk

Depend on the order of your placement

But why do you place kal there lol

[ocean ether]

trying to make space, previously I placed her where shamare is

[glass monolith]

Assuming caster explosions don't reach her and you go to phase 2 boss on bottom right she should be more or less safe unless there are many casters in 370+

[spark sinew]

i couldn't figure how to use calc on d2 so i did some random shit also used it wrongly on d1, and d3 was also messy
if you don't skip the days it probably doesn't matter

[glass monolith]

I missplayed day 2 hard

[spark sinew]

i clicked random stuff on d2

[foggy grove]

i clickedn random stuff d1

[spark sinew]

[glass monolith]

My day 2 was as close to worst as one can get without intention to go worst

[ocean ether]

heres hoping this works lol, my first clear was with a borrow, now trying without

[foggy grove]

day 2 i followed this random advice
food + drink: radical
gift: copy enemy's strategy
then food + drink sell $1 cheaper, gift sell $10 cheaper

but honestly it's joever

[sly drift]

Btw.. What's the best strategy in general.
I do the event completely blind run

[spark sinew]

calculator skipped a step in mine (well, started telling me steps that i should've done previously ) but i wonder if i should bother raising issue in github

[spark sinew]

add 2 executors

add horse uncle for the boss

👍

[sly drift]

I mean the selling thingy

[tall cairn]

This one.

[spark sinew]

https://sonodahanami.github.io/snowsant_calculator/en.html there's this if you want

[foggy grove]

general idea is buy high sell low

it's why you want to scout your rival price and set your price lower

so you have more customer

i didn't understand how the calc works

[spark sinew]

i figured it by trying

basically initial input you just set the number of goods

[foggy grove]

[spark sinew]

click next, it will tell you your next step

[sly drift]

Idk about this event but buying high selling low seems like against economy logic

[glass monolith]

You... Know we get random numbers each?

[dusky grove]

Wdym

That's what scouting for

Go radical with food + drink

-1 scout for gifts count then copy

-1 (2) scout for food price, 1 less dollar
-1 (2) scout for drink price, 1 less dollar
-1 scout for gift price, 10 less dollar

The confirmed strat

[glass monolith]

[fiery marsh]

Random tapping works right?

[dusky grove]

Random price setting?

[fiery marsh]

Yes

[sly drift]

I think it's also rng wheter your goods will all sell out or not, right? As the number you saw as the clue is "estimated" customer

[glass monolith]

I'm almost sure estimated customer never lies, just to know it exact one need to scout all prices

Random Bullshit Go

[sly drift]

Did I miss a day btw. There's no way you can get this low. I probably didn't complete the first day

[deft badger]

i bet that thing lets u finish and get all the rewards if u just ignore all the extra buttons and just press next next with the auto settings 😄

[sly drift]

Nah I don't even remember how I finish the first day lmao. I was like "Wtf is this confused thing" and then play the tower defense

[vernal lion]

@hexed fable

• Deploy Flametail > Thorns > medics
• then deploy Mountain > Gummy > Mlynar,
• activate Mlynar skill when you see tough mobs incoming, or when situation getting hard, also can drop texas to support, as long as you have plenty of DP
• Surtr and Texas doing boss killer job, activate Surtr s3 and drop Texas s2 after the boss reaching to the mud tile (in front of Texas tile).
• if you can't kill boss fast enough, just hold your op skills, wait for she coming close to Mlynar range then you can burst her with whole other mobs.
• the last 3 slots in your squad you can pick whoever to support like Mudrock, SA...

if you're still struggling, just ask me

[dusky grove]

Well you can

But that's just lmao tbh

[spark sinew]

it seems so

[dusky grove]

Y put mlynar near others

Put him alone

[vernal lion]

wdym

[dusky grove]

So those snipers won't aoe your team

[vernal lion]

can't you see?

[dusky grove]

See wut

He's smack dab next to 4 others

[vernal lion]

?

[sly drift]

It's just explode around gummy and thorns btw. They should be fine

[dusky grove]

Well tbf he cleared with such comp

Should be fine

Tho wouldn't use that for weaker comp

[dusky grove]

I still have no idea what i am supposed to see

See that there are a bunch of heals

Or sth

[vernal lion]

try the anni yourself, don't judge like that

you think this is easy anni?

[dusky grove]

Yes?

[vernal lion]

it's not your problem, it's his

I'm helping him

[sly drift]

[dusky grove]

?????

Do you understand

Mlynar talent

And the enemies' skill

[vernal lion]

do I have to take down my quote?

[sly drift]

Bro the sniper arrow will just explode around gummy and thorns. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it lol. Especially with nightingale cover it. Tbh idk what's the problem

[dusky grove]

Then what's wrong with putting mlynar further from others

[vernal lion]

as I said, try that squad by yourself, don't just say like that

mod rushing like no time, Mlynar has to wait to use skill,
you think he can carry all the time?

[ocean ether]

damn, I nearly cleared but the final wave made me leak 3

[dusky grove]

What

????

[ocean ether]

too many at the end and everyone started dying

[dusky grove]

What is my man on

[sly drift]

Tbh Kal and exe is not really best op to choose here because everything there is burned and you can't heal them

[ocean ether]

I dont have other laneholders

[dusky grove]

Well idk about nom's comp

Probably not as stacked as naga's

The aoe does deal a good chunk of dmg if you are not careful

[ocean ether]

waiting for the auto to bring me past the boss

[dusky grove]

So i'm just suggesting putting mlynar further to not have such risk

[near folio]

How did this team manage to get this far

[dusky grove]

eyjalter

[ocean ether]

yep eyja alter lol, previously I borrowed skalter alter to clear, and she healed monstr and execalter

[sly drift]

Don't borrow in anni

[ocean ether]

needed my first clear, didnt have the full 400 limit unlocked

[near folio]

If only there was a 5 star that could solo the top lane

[spark sinew]

should've borrowed stainless instead, he heals from sidelines

[near folio]

La Pluma probably cant get through the heavy defenders

Arts is also not an option

[dusky grove]

Why not

[near folio]

Refraction

[dusky grove]

amiya

Lappland

[near folio]

Gives them free 70 res

[dusky grove]

Lappland can Silence the refraction

[near folio]

True but I feel lappland is better facing bottom

[vernal lion]

you need average 2.5k atk with 0.9s atk interval to solo

[dusky grove]

Whether she can handle the boss tho

Is a good question

[near folio]

Damn how did you actually calculate that

[dusky grove]

Feels like boss can slap her around

[near folio]

The boss isnt that hard

[glass monolith]

Ifrit S2 blue box camp strategy: I DON'T CARE

[vernal lion]

because my Blaze just can't kill those shits even she is alive af

[dusky grove]

Oh wait

[near folio]

I just drop shamare doll on her whenever she is about to pop the bind

[dusky grove]

Corroseum also has silence

And line range

[spice mortar]

Ejyalter s1 or s3 better in this anni

[dusky grove]

Truly the perfect op

[near folio]

S1

[spark sinew]

s3 would overkill super hard

but should work, why not

[near folio]

Playing this anni without wandering medic is a fun challenge

You actually have to manage the flaming reeds

[spark sinew]

on non 6* run maybe

[spice mortar]

Ok ty is skill level 7 enough? Mine not e2 yet

[spark sinew]

i unga bungaed with 6*

[dusky grove]

Why

5 stars have the berries

[near folio]

The challenge is to not use 6 stars and no berries or chestnut

[dusky grove]

Wow

Now that's based

[near folio]

I got this far

[dusky grove]

Bring the arts defender ig

[near folio]

I made the mistake of retreating Tequila here

[dusky grove]

Cuz burn pop deals 1k5 arts dmg

[near folio]

I thought I could stall her phase 2

[dusky grove]

Which is kinda ass

[near folio]

But I should have just ate the explosions

Then tequila S2

[dusky grove]

Or is it 1k

[ocean ether]

I need to place shamre somewhere she can survive, at 300+ the reeds on the left auto burn

[sly drift]

Do you guys think only this will work

[dusky grove]

Anyway maybe try lappland top

[spark sinew]

oh afk clears are ranked by steps

[vernal lion]

you can deploy Amiya above 1 tile, so boss will stay on mire

[dusky grove]

Cuz those are where the refraction is

[spark sinew]

super cursed how strong eyja is

[near folio]

Too much explosion chain

[spark sinew]

what's ifrit for

[near folio]

That will instantly kill my defensive line

[dusky grove]

Silence is also a great pick

Imo

Drone is huge

[sly drift]

She's famous for this anni

[dusky grove]

@near folio what 5 stars do you have built

[spark sinew]

i would rather get like gg s2 there
although tiles are wonky

[vernal lion]

yea, Ifrit and Hoshi make this anni a joke

[dusky grove]

Everyone?

[spark sinew]

but ifrit is even worse tile wise

[dusky grove]

Why

[spark sinew]

i mean chong should do fine until very late, but then he struggles with bot

[dusky grove]

Literally a straight lane

[spark sinew]

not left

[vernal lion]

imagine having CY

[spark sinew]

misremembered layout, thought there were 3 tiles on the right

because they bring 3 rangeds

[sly drift]

Even with skalt?

[spark sinew]

is your p5

wait, p4

although maybe p5 is needed

this one would leak later on, without blocker above chong

[sly drift]

Only p3 unfortunately

[sly drift]

Maybe it doesn't work without more blocker

[polar crane]

why is it so yellow

[spark sinew]

oh i meant chong
you can just add some damage like blaze probably

instead of ifrit

[spark sinew]

do you want to know

[ocean ether]

I feel like this a horrible, terrible idea (shamare deployed last)

[spark sinew]

maybe that's why they made shamare module into what it is

[spark sinew]

can always bring actual vanguard

[polar crane]

[spark sinew]

ponci siege or ines s1 even

[vernal lion]

you would mind about who is last deploy because cannoneer and boss will cuck you

[spark sinew]

[vernal lion]

see

told you

Ifrit and Hoshi

[spark sinew]

never argued with you

[vernal lion]

such a joke

[ocean ether]

she died to fire, I had to repop her somewhere without xD

[spark sinew]

i was just saying that i would rather only use 2 slots for rangeds after you shared the map and corrected my memory i mean

and they really wanted to use chong it looked like

[vernal lion]

but I knew someone will do it, I don't judge you, it's just my sentience

[spark sinew]

gotcha

my god

[true otter]

any tips for annihlation 3?

[ocean ether]

somehow made it

[spark sinew]

that's some cursed buff squad

for that 4-step above

[ocean ether]

PRTS is a 100% success right?

[polar crane]

no

[deft badger]

??

what does that mean

whats a flex and spoiler period

[polar crane]

you can flex in #arknights

[spark sinew]

it means you broke the rules a lot

[ocean ether]

eyjalter is definetly broken in pure healing lol, shamare was constantly at 10 - 20% hp but went back up to 100% in next second

[near folio]

Actually not a lot only relevant ones are here, but they can probably do it

[deft badger]

who wants to spam in the main channel xD

[polar crane]

who wouldn't

[vernal lion]

post your squad

[near folio]

What does it do?

If it gives invis I might consider getting her module

[spark sinew]

-taunt after deployment for X seconds

[near folio]

Oh ok that's good too

[spark sinew]

don't just trust me, but i think that's it

[near folio]

Actually no

[spark sinew]

robin has camo for X seconds when she gets hit

[spark sinew]

i think that's the closest you get to invis mod

[near folio]

I cant really think of any cases where I can really make use of that

Ive already made it a habit to drop defender last

[spark sinew]

exactly

[near folio]

Maybe if she dies on accident and needs to be redropped

Dont have to go through the trouble of retreating the defender

[spark sinew]

you often undeploy her after charging the doll

but like

just deploy here somewhere safe

[near folio]

I still havent gotten astgenne's module

Im missing out

Still does more aoe dmg than meteorite though

[spark sinew]

raise leizi instead

[near folio]

Meteorite's dropoff is so insane man

Like she was still usable in chapter 5

But reach chapter 6 and she just does cute dmg from that point on

[ocean ether]

the more suprising thing should be kroos has yet to drop off at that point

[near folio]

Exactly

Only chapter 7 killed kroos with giving every trash mob 700 def

But she comes back in chapter 8

[limpid siren]

yea

[vernal lion]

[limpid siren]

[vernal lion]

you are not nice

[limpid siren]

true

[dusky grove]

Looks to me you need a nearl

Or silence

Feels like the dmg will overwhelm your heal

[limpid siren]

quercus probably bangs for that anni

[dusky grove]

Also uh

Hm

Idt this anni is too taxing on dmg ig

[limpid siren]

eblana is lv0 statline

should be easy enough to down

teq should be able to put her to bed

[dusky grove]

Think specter + lappland can kill p1

?

She's stopping on top

Looks like a good place to end 1 phase

[astral nexus]

Hi

[heady hedge]

damn

[near folio]

Its the opposite

[heady hedge]

one of the best afk healer fr

[near folio]

My damage is a bit lacking

[astral nexus]

Is sl-8 impossible to finish

[heady hedge]

uh no

[dusky grove]

No?

[limpid siren]

it might feel that way depending on your team

[heady hedge]

are you using bottles?

[astral nexus]

Yes

[limpid siren]

you may consider posting your team here

[astral nexus]

I need help

[limpid siren]

as a starting point

[vernal lion]

post your squad

[dusky grove]

Guess you gotta call in ayerscarpe

[near folio]

Don't worry it's possible

[vernal lion]

4 star is possible too

[astral nexus]

Help please

[limpid siren]

idk looking at your squad, the damage seems like it's there

[limpid siren]

please post your squad and what you're struggling with

[dusky grove]

Or is this a hit count issue

[astral nexus]

Sl-8

[limpid siren]

ah i see why you're having troubles

[near folio]

Ok

[astral nexus]

Why

[limpid siren]

yea sl-8 sounds painful for that team

[heady hedge]

oh god

uh

[dusky grove]

Level issue

Unfortunate

[vernal lion]

do you have Kroos alter

[near folio]

So... how does chalter S2 hold up?

[dusky grove]

It sucks

[heady hedge]

would horn s1 work better then s2

probably right?

[vernal lion]

nope

[dusky grove]

[astral nexus]

Idk i just got chalter yesterday

[heady hedge]

also idk why the meteor is lvl 50

[limpid siren]

honestly for now i would farm stage 6 or 7, aim to clear out the shop and use those mats to power up your team

[spark sinew]

that's a very fast e1 62

[astral nexus]

My only sniper

[dusky grove]

True

[astral nexus]

Yeah event lmd

[limpid siren]

you have ~3 weeks to punch through the event

[heady hedge]

3* kroos hello??

[spark sinew]

ah, nice

[near folio]

Try to get chalter or horn to E2

[astral nexus]

Is kroos better

[near folio]

Then borrow an exu

[astral nexus]

Wait is meteor bad.

[vernal lion]

show your sniper

[astral nexus]

Ok

[dusky grove]

Well
She is bad

[near folio]

Pretty mid for a sniper

[dusky grove]

Can't really talk around it

[astral nexus]

Oh

[dusky grove]

[astral nexus]

But she's cute

[heady hedge]

lets see if i can cook

[near folio]

Def down isnt impactful enough for her own or her team's dps

[vernal lion]

meteor is just a debuffer, she won't do any shit

[spark sinew]

is Noir's s2 target locked

[vernal lion]

unless it's a drone

[heady hedge]

ngl

i cant even copy that comp

[spark sinew]

does he only ever slash a guy he's blocking

[heady hedge]

since all of my units there are maxed

[vernal lion]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413820842175365122/1083729742164938804/79B94442-706D-44CE-8C39-07094936E303.gif

[astral nexus]

She's my hottest sniper so i had to use her

[spark sinew]

and always for 7 hits total?

[dusky grove]

insider

Kroos

[glass monolith]

B you got first

[astral nexus]

What

[spark sinew]

that i do know
kinda fun to block hits with it

[heady hedge]

oh you have insider

bruh

[dusky grove]

Looks to me you have good snipers

[spark sinew]

but as a damage tool it looks jank

[near folio]

What does insider do?

[astral nexus]

So i have to give up meteor

😔

[vernal lion]

ok at least Insider got fast attack with s2, but 14 ammo are meh

[near folio]

I wasnt here for exec alter event

[dusky grove]

Deal dmg

[glass monolith]

Blasting

[dusky grove]

He deals pretty good dmg

[near folio]

Is he a welfare?

[vernal lion]

he is

[dusky grove]

Yip

[near folio]

Shit

[astral nexus]

What do i do now

Replace meteor w this guy

[dusky grove]

Farm sl6

Build roster

[astral nexus]

Oh

[glass monolith]

5* welfare Adnachiel alter

[near folio]

Ok I at least have a copy of insider

No pots though

[heady hedge]

ngfl i feel like i can cook

if i had his team

[dusky grove]

Why

[heady hedge]

but like

all my units are either not raised

or its e2 90

hmm

[glass monolith]

I had mental pain playing HE event too, so ca'nt blame oyu

[near folio]

I didnt even play the event

Stopped at stage 7 or something

Took a break from AK

[astral nexus]

Is this netter

Better

[near folio]

Kept telling myself I would come back to finish up the event

And well it didnt happen

@astral nexus actually show your caster roster as well

[astral nexus]

Ok

[vernal lion]

have you gotten SL-6 or 7 with 3 star, you can just farm it first to get resource to buy mats in shop

[astral nexus]

Yeah i can autofarm sl7

[vernal lion]

auto farm SL-6

that mat is needed

[astral nexus]

Ok

[vernal lion]

much

[astral nexus]

Thanks naga

[near folio]

If you have Rockrock she is a really good option for destroying Dolly or bosses in general

[astral nexus]

Oh what

[near folio]

Oh I see a rockrock

[astral nexus]

I cant replace amiya with rockrock shes too cute

[near folio]

But you can replace meteor

[heady hedge]

actually

cant he just borrow a exu s2

to kill dolly shield

[astral nexus]

This is my current

[glass monolith]

Drone casters are probably only viable type of casters to ground boss down, outside Indigo and Ifrit who can do DoT, assuming their DoT count at all

[near folio]

Rockrock has a bonus of actually doing damage to dolly

High aspd makes res less impactful

[near folio]

He could but how is he doing damage?

Need to perfectly time a horn S2 full send

Or perfect Amiya S2 without target split

[heady hedge]

hmm true

[astral nexus]

Damn

[glass monolith]

Amiya S2 is so easy to control that i would build Shalem over her

But i can't slap defender up there

[near folio]

You can

Drop shalem and sode bottle

Press S2 and break the soda to ground dolly

Then you get the full dmg

[glass monolith]

yea yea that way takes 3 soda bottle to ground sheepard

[near folio]

Just use the ranged tiles with someone else

[glass monolith]

I need ways to bypass bottles because drinking is bad

[near folio]

Wait till Y Module Amiya

S2 becomes manual trigger

Hyper focuses one target

Amiya becomes Sarkaz King

[spark sinew]

is this a Hool joke

[foggy grove]

hit some more and faster

[spark sinew]

eugh, took ingots right before f3 boss fight because of that

[near folio]

The more I look at exu module

The stronger it seems

If only it wasnt for 2 randoms

[spark sinew]

wdym randoms
it locks onto flags

[tall cairn]

What flags.

🚮

[spark sinew]

the ones you don't bring

[foggy grove]

unironically just don't use flags

[spark sinew]

although i bet most people still either run flagpipe + ines or ines + flag

assuming they have ines and bg/flags

[near folio]

Still havent gotten my 18 OP worth from myrtle skin

[tall cairn]

Nah I just see a Myrtle cult.

[near folio]

Flagpipe is still very popular according to 4th anni usage stats

[spark sinew]

fbi skin

[foggy grove]

i already got my op worth from ely fr

[spark sinew]

well ines isn't too new

[foggy grove]

time to let him get some vacay

[spark sinew]

and bag is overhyped + people had plenty of time to get

[tall cairn]

true.

[near folio]

Bagpipe still topping the charts in terms of most E2'd 6 star wasnt it?

[tall cairn]

What people doing with pipe.

[spark sinew]

i would be surprised if it wasn't exu/SA

[near folio]

To be honest Bagpipe even without her SP passive is still a massively strong charger

[spark sinew]

before the new banner revamp

[near folio]

Her S3 turns her into a menace

Might not be too special by today's standards

But back then Bagpipe was a true menace

[tall cairn]

honestly yeah I thought it was Exusiai.

[near folio]

Oh right it was exu

Most E2'd

[tall cairn]

almost skemmed.

[near folio]

She was my first E2 as well

I must admit

[spark sinew]

not surprised
exu was really hyped early on

[near folio]

To be fair I only had Siege and Exu all the way until I cleared chapter 6

[spark sinew]

"get exu, early game solved"

[foggy grove]

my first e2 is sash

[near folio]

She does solve Faust and Frostnova

[spark sinew]

idt she solves faust

[near folio]

She does

[spark sinew]

but yes she was just strong because no def

[near folio]

Faust defense isnt anything special

[spark sinew]

faust isn't anything special

[tall cairn]

💀

[near folio]

As day 1 player it really sucks seeing Faust in his current state

Back then we were scared of him

[spice mortar]

Wow ejya turns this anni into a joke

[near folio]

Counting numbers like its the ABC

[spark sinew]

damn, d1 player
op

[near folio]

Every 5 shots gotta redeploy the gravel

[spark sinew]

i should keep away from igneus actually

he's bad influence

i think i just deployed a tank and ate shots

[tall cairn]

[spark sinew]

we had relatively invested accs by the time his chapter dropped

[near folio]

Ok I wasnt really a day 1

[spark sinew]

only H stage needed the bait for purple shot

[near folio]

I joined during chen's first banner

Got shafted on both Eyja and SA's banners

Even shafted on Chen's banner

[scarlet fulcrum]

Do u have hibis's skin?

[near folio]

No

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thought so

[spark sinew]

oh it was that early?

i thought it was in the shop for awhile

[near folio]

I reached chapter 5 when my team was E1 50 or something

[spark sinew]

or whatever it was

[near folio]

My Cuora wasnt tanking that purple shot without skill up

[scarlet fulcrum]

month 1 only yeah

[near folio]

And had to deal with those crushers without eyja or SA

[vernal lion]

those ppl can't get Hibis skin after 150 days

[scarlet fulcrum]

Wait 150

nvm then

[near folio]

I managed to get SA in time for H6 stages though

[vernal lion]

yea, SA is just goat in that time

[near folio]

I still remember when Blaze banner gave me a heallgur

Like wtf am I supposed to do with him in chapter 6

[spark sinew]

i remember people not liking the delay on eyja banner

[vernal lion]

I got Siege

[spice mortar]

Eyja died 😦

[spark sinew]

it was clearly just to stop people rerolling on the super strong banner

a sign of things to come...

because next they started scrambling standard banners

[vernal lion]

my earlier op, have to say, they're all sucked

[near folio]

I still remember the one with ange and SA

[spark sinew]

our first banner

well

[near folio]

got beaten up on that banner as well

[spark sinew]

besides some siege i think

weird how you saw it but not hibi skin

if it actually was 150 days like naga said (unless i misunderstood)

[scarlet fulcrum]

Actually 2 weeks only

[vernal lion]

yea, I just played the game after 150 days

but the skin is on 3rd week

[scarlet fulcrum]

So i m starting during good time 13th feb

Lasting for 2 weeks dang, no wonder a lot ppl miss it

[near folio]

Man that's just like mine

[scarlet fulcrum]

nice uxe tbh, better than mine

[spark sinew]

i had 2 accs to pick from reroll, ange exu and sa shining

was told that second one was better early game sucked

[scarlet fulcrum]

Great

[near folio]

I would imagine

Honestly SA is not that bad early game

Probably the strongest E1 tank

[spark sinew]

knowledge of the game was...not great back then

my MR base is an evidence to that

[scarlet fulcrum]

dw i even started with shining

[foggy grove]

i mean the pool isn't exactly that good either

[spark sinew]

so idt my piloting of the acc was good

[gray stone]

Man

Siege starters rise up

[near folio]

Ngl Siege users won on H6-1

They rushed you with elite regen soldiers at the start

Texas cant survive them

[spark sinew]

👴

[near folio]

Only us Siege users could solo the early round of that stage

[gray stone]

Just Mountain it lmao

[spark sinew]

why am i the only one with hibi skin

oh nvm it's not leite

[scarlet fulcrum]

I want to fleggs but kinda sus

[gray stone]

Because I lost my first account which has it

[spark sinew]

confused salmon

[gray stone]

Did you think I was Leite or sumth

[spark sinew]

we will never know

you guys all change nicknames too much

[near folio]

I still remember using Projekt Red S2 as aoe damage
