[mossy ore]

no hope

[celest solstice]

should I get BBC?

[spark sinew]

why did you went into the shop with 13 ingots and 1 hope

[celest solstice]

ITS THE ONLY OPTION

Ill just get BBC

[tepid sigil]

Isn't that assault coop voucher can recruit guard?

[celest solstice]

I have no hope

[tepid sigil]

Oh right, didn't saw that

[spark sinew]

ram with bbc

it feels familiar

[celest solstice]

ah yes, either I do the first one which is an emergency op or I do the second one which is PRACTICALLY DRONE HELL

👏

[spark sinew]

what

don't you have pozy

[mossy ore]

i thought 2 marksmen just get rid of all the drones

[spark sinew]

she sweeps either stage

[mossy ore]

yeah lol

[celest solstice]

[mossy ore]

first stage kinda ass on emergency

but thats about it

[celest solstice]

so which stage do I do

[mossy ore]

ya should be fine just take emergency

greed

greed

greed

[spark sinew]

is2 f5 stages be like

[celest solstice]

how does that stage even work

[spark sinew]

The Spread, The Spread, Utopia

[mossy ore]

fr the shitty stages are all on F4

in is2

is3 f5 stages:
OOC, OOC, Ember

[celest solstice]

I dont understand the stage, I dont know how to approach it, Ive never reached floor 5

actually I did once

[mossy ore]

just play and you'll learn

👍

alternatively find the stage title on youtube

and see how it works

[somber stone]

Losing is good for the soul

[mossy ore]

IS is like all about losing and gaining map knowledge so you dont get fucked on future runs actually

[spark sinew]

for new players it also teaches them the power of friendship

[mossy ore]

a good support unit goes a long way

[celest solstice]

Ima watch

[mossy ore]

@celest solstice lmk if you wanna borrow anyone for starter

i have most meta ops

(except a few like goldenglow or exe alter)

[somber stone]

Skill issue no exealter

[mossy ore]

[celest solstice]

oh stage looks so easy

[spark sinew]

but do you have the best op

thorns

[mossy ore]

e2 90

s3m3

(he sucks)

(i havent used him for anything outside of annihilations)

[celest bluff]

He have a shotgun
Does he hit air

[spark sinew]

shoulda used s2

[mossy ore]

[celest solstice]

no

[mossy ore]

thorns s2

[spark sinew]

that's basically half of a mountain regen

💪

[mossy ore]

mountain has passive healing 100%

thorns' healing depends on how fast he kills enemies

which is CRINGE for a single target

[spark sinew]

always active with s2

[mossy ore]

[celest bluff]

[gray stone]

inb4 his module powercreep Mountain

then the furry get a module that powercreep idk probably gavial

[spark sinew]

now that i think about it
maleknights have truly cursed tanks

[mossy ore]

im not using either of them anyways

[somber stone]

Mountain module on the way to add passive healing

[spark sinew]

oh yeah mountain module...

[mossy ore]

gavial alt my beloved

[gray stone]

Both of his talents are cool

[mossy ore]

blaze my beloved

[gray stone]

They can't fuck this up

[mossy ore]

bro

i'd bet mountain gonna get like

[spark sinew]

i mean unless they add a lot to his -atk

[mossy ore]

krooster mod treatment

and increase 160% to something miniscule

[spark sinew]

although nvm the second talent is prob crap

[gray stone]

It's not

[spark sinew]

hg doesn't like to buff dodge

[gray stone]

as long as they don't +DEF%

[spark sinew]

he gonna get 1%

[somber stone]

Exe alt mod

[gray stone]

the dodge is like

[spark sinew]

3% at mod3

[gray stone]

half his survivability

[celest solstice]

welp... I dont really have that much, I could get mudrock/penance, ptilo/silence, or exu/schwarz

[mossy ore]

-20% def is fun

[spark sinew]

how much hope do you have
E: save for promos if able

[mossy ore]

or save for mlynar promotion

[spark sinew]

i regret asking, ping inc

[celest solstice]

I have 8

[cunning river]

So I got the barrier down on the second phase and sicced Pozy, Chalter and Surtr on the thing

Did about 30% of his whole bar

What the actual fuck

[spark sinew]

did you actually do barrier down

[cunning river]

Yes

The stars were all gone, it fell on the ground

The barrier was down

[celest solstice]

Ill grab Silence for convenience

[spark sinew]

kal s3 + eyja regular do enough

weird how your ops didn't

[cunning river]

Istg this fucking game

[spark sinew]

he has only 600 def as well

[round yew]

it also fell on white smoke, right?

[cunning river]

Yes

I threw an extra crate to make sure

[spark sinew]

get screenshot/vid if you able

[cunning river]

I mean, I lost the run so

[spark sinew]

it's hard to tell what happened from the description

well, i assume you will retry later

[mossy ore]

sounds like skill issue

[dark glade]

what if all s2 and not s3

[round yew]

is it sl-8 or ex-8?

[mossy ore]

ayo

[cunning river]

SL 8

[mossy ore]

poze s2 and surtr s2

[spark sinew]

s1 surtr

💪

[cunning river]

No it was all S3 M3

[dark glade]

Aintnowaying

[foggy grove]

does the boss stand on pink ground?

[cunning river]

Also buffed by Skalter add

[celest solstice]

how ironic, I meet this stage again

[dark glade]

Isnt that the easiest f4 stage

Next to surprise factory

[mossy ore]

[dark glade]

Oh wait its the lancer stage

I dont remember any is2 name

[mossy ore]

also its f5

[dark glade]

And some of them have same name

[spark sinew]

phase 2 specifically right

idk it doesn't have anything

[celest solstice]

STOP REFUSING ME THE GUARD TAG

[mossy ore]

[celest solstice]

also Ima pick up cuora

NOOOO I DIDNT GET MLYNAR E2

GRR

Im at the boss stage now

[dark glade]

You will get used to it and cope mlynar s1 s2 80% of your run

[spark sinew]

you deserve it for picking cuora

[celest solstice]

no

it was the last combat stage

the next was just a shitty interaction

[somber stone]

Mlynar s2 is nice (coronation moment)

[celest solstice]

watching the stage being cleared, I know I can yato s3 the right, how do I position the left tho

[glass monolith]

How much lives?

[celest solstice]

5

HAHAHAHAHAH

[spark sinew]

CY almost solo without skalter does almost half

[celest solstice]

[spark sinew]

something def went wrong with chalter pozy attempts 🤔

[glass monolith]

Remember, boss blink then blocked then don't blink for next 15 seconds or so. Also can't dodge attacks while blocked but you will probably Kal S3 him anyway

[celest solstice]

idk how I will do this map with poz

I know how I can clear the right side but not middle and top left

[spark sinew]

then just gets demolished by even autos

[celest solstice]

?

[spark sinew]

unmoduled ceobe btw, so damage is eugh

[celest bluff]

Rosmontis doing wonders this event

[spark sinew]

ros is also unmoduled, but i should probably raise her

[celest solstice]

would this do?

[celest bluff]

Yato go brrrr

[spark sinew]

cursed pictures

[celest solstice]

yes yato s3 go brrrr

yato really like long changa line

[celest solstice]

do you guys think this would do or nah

[spark sinew]

wtf is this pozy tile and why

[somber stone]

Phantom gonna phantom right through monster

[spark sinew]

actually same with mlynar
and kal
and mountain...

[shell arch]

You need additional blocker for phantom since he's gonna jump like clownslayer

[glass monolith]

Which is why you Yato or something to bait dash DUH

[celest solstice]

I have beagle for em

[celest solstice]

IDK

[spark sinew]

basically all your placements suck

do better

start with pozy on kal tile, but move her 1 tile below

[celest solstice]

you said I would kill boss with mon3tr

[spark sinew]

mountain on beagle tile

[celest solstice]

I do not have mountain

[mossy ore]

wow wtf am*go in #strategy

[glass monolith]

He hides from Help pinging him with top tags

[spark sinew]

ok, this leaves me with more questions

why is mon3tr here

[glass monolith]

To eat phantom ass

[spark sinew]

amigo look

[tepid sigil]

I assume it's to kill phantom when he stopped

[dark glade]

Wait is that from top op

[spark sinew]

doesn't he stop a bit to the left

[glass monolith]

Bait phantom dash before he reach 2 top red boxes and idiot will walk right into monster

[spark sinew]

well, i don't pull kernel

[celest solstice]

this is what Im thinking

[spark sinew]

i mean sure but they also have pozy

and true dmg just ignores dodge, doesn't it

[glass monolith]

When blocked he loses dodge

[spark sinew]

i don't see a reason to bait dash

[tepid sigil]

He stopped not for so long, so if he doesn't get blocked, without enough dmg he'll just gone

[celest solstice]

?

[spark sinew]

i can't tell if bait

[surreal star]

hello

do you guys want me to visit strat more

[glass monolith]

And boss will die to?

[spark sinew]

^

[tepid sigil]

Poz on kal tile facing top with her typewriter in front of her (assuming tile ahead is where phantom stopped)

[deft badger]

weeboo always welcome 🙂

[spark sinew]

mon3tr above reedic

[glass monolith]

Incoming those guys make Phantom dash over wait spot

[deft badger]

btw congrats on full blue name

[celest solstice]

pozy?

[spark sinew]

oh yeah don't put mon3tr before phantom moves past it

[celest solstice]

I actually dont know anymore

[spark sinew]

now, do you think she would ignore his dodge in that position

[tepid sigil]

Pozy ignore dodge when the enemy is in her frontal range

Like, ifrit straight line

[deft badger]

shouldn't reed be able to solo phantom if u pinch him?
with s2?

[celest solstice]

so where does phantom stop

[celest solstice]

I dont know what people want from me

[glass monolith]

Probably, but they cook

[scarlet mortar]

assuming everyone doesn't get stunned she probs would

[spark sinew]

a lot of stuff should be able nowadays, but from the very few info he gave us, reedic is e1

[deft badger]

she does actually so much dps that he isn't even going to get to the stun

[spark sinew]

and also they have kal pozy anyway, seems better than reedic

[deft badger]

my guess

[scarlet mortar]

one utae later

i'm never confident when it comes to lucian, fight always breaks in the dumbest ways

[heady hedge]

yes

[celest solstice]

e2

[civic nest]

no

[scarlet mortar]

recently i just draft doro so i can bind him for sure

[scarlet mortar]

and not have to deal with the hassle of cqc'ing him

[celest solstice]

sent the photo like 20 minutes ago

[tepid sigil]

Probs this is the best tiles where pozy should be if you wanna kill phantom with her

[spark sinew]

s1 shamare...

[deft badger]

i would yato s3 right side, block with monster mid, put cora left side with pozy reed mlynar let phantom walk in when he tps over cora activate mlynar reed pozy he is dead before he even uses stun

[scarlet mortar]

poz gets utae'd

[heady hedge]

what kind of support pozy are you borrowing

[spark sinew]

did you use s1 in all the previous stages as well?

[heady hedge]

why is it sl7

hmm

[celest solstice]

mod3 s7 level 90

[scarlet mortar]

also sniped by the singers if you don't kill them in time

[celest solstice]

idfk, this fucking run is already 3 hours long

[civic nest]

not a friend still gets mods

[heady hedge]

oh

[spark sinew]

i don't like spawncamp, it's even less time than top left to kill

and sl7 pozy suck

[tepid sigil]

Assuming those singers are dead by yato alter, so right side tile is good

[heady hedge]

hmm

mon3tr should hit phantom on top left

[scarlet mortar]

idt she has enough time without the cc

just do the sandwich strat

[tepid sigil]

I actually having a bit trust issue with slvl7 pozy tbh

[heady hedge]

you can probably bait the teleport

[spark sinew]

we did give you the important postioning i thought?

for everything else you should just play

you would learn more from failing once honestly

[heady hedge]

and sandwich

[spark sinew]

judging from initial deployments

[heady hedge]

anyways ill just leave because too much people is helping and its never good

[civic nest]

so true bestie

[tepid sigil]

Or placing her top left with mont3r placed here facing left

[celest solstice]

I dont get how that works now

[tepid sigil]

With risk of her getting utae'ed to death

[deft badger]

https://youtu.be/hyJmq_E5Xsg?t=39

i actually have a video of that 🙂

[spark sinew]

was this courier temp

[celest solstice]

well that doesnt tell me where he stops

[tepid sigil]

It's this where poz is on left side facing top

[scarlet mortar]

one tile to the left of surtr is when he stops

but like, that's not really helpful

bc he's right next to your ranged dps and you can't disable his dodge

[spark sinew]

but they have pozy and kal

why do we want to disable dodge again

[celest bluff]

Not silence-able?

[deft badger]

i would pinch him the same way and just use reed pozy i bet he dies

mlynar s2

[scarlet mortar]

two utaes destroys poz, she's not that helpful without the cc

[tepid sigil]

The problem is pozy is not M3

[scarlet mortar]

kal is

[celest solstice]

kal is m1

[scarlet mortar]

but then you're kinda doing the sandwich strat anw

[spark sinew]

idr how long he stays on the top but you can just...not use mon3tr until phantom passes the tile?

[scarlet mortar]

the clone also utae's

[heady hedge]

honestly, the worst that can happen is just the box dies
just attempt it

[scarlet mortar]

so you'd choose to deploy mon3tr later if so

else kal also gets knocked out

[celest solstice]

after debating for 10-20 minutes I dont even know which strat Im going to do than yato go brr the fuck on the right side

[scarlet mortar]

just... sandwich it

[spark sinew]

kal is on the bot right tile isn't she

or do you want to put her to the right of pozy

[scarlet mortar]

oh if there then fine

add reed2 up top then

poz is wherever

[foggy grove]

this is what happened when too many cooks

[heady hedge]

yeah the easiest way is prob 1-2 people to help

[tepid sigil]

one cooks asian food, one italian food, and one american food

[spark sinew]

instead of a cook we need a babysitter

[celest bluff]

Get us some french cuisine (ew)

[spark sinew]

i can't find the map on prts

how is it called again

[scarlet mortar]

sth like this with mon3tr pointing left

next to mlynar

[scarlet mortar]

https://map.ark-nights.com/map/ro1_b_6

[spark sinew]

oh yeah, please forget shamare s1 exist

[scarlet mortar]

might wanna deploy mon3tr later so the main defense doesn't leak

rip in no vg

[spark sinew]

you can do this

[shell arch]

Omg isn't this the :CeobeCU- operator?

[spark sinew]

sideroca is mon3tr

the left side is like 4 enemies so they can just be leaked

[scarlet mortar]

drones doe

[spark sinew]

i honestly don't remember how many shrieks pozy survives

[shell arch]

The loons

[scarlet mortar]

unless you can time ya2

[shell arch]

Might stun sideroca

[spark sinew]

well they have beagle and put put mly on E5

[spark sinew]

should be easy enough

[shell arch]

E5
Getting chess ptsd

[celest solstice]

oh well, I die

gg, nice run

[spark sinew]

i don't see dying

[shell arch]

You can still do it

Deploy beagle

[spark sinew]

undeploy kal summon
kill the leaking guy with yato

plug left with beagle

[celest solstice]

I died

[shell arch]

Retreat mon3tr

[celest solstice]

yato missed

[spark sinew]

how did you leak already

[shell arch]

[celest solstice]

skill issue on my part

[celest solstice]

Beagle just collapsed in the middle of nowhere

and the balloons

[shell arch]

I think there wasn't any problem on your first deploy picture though

[celest solstice]

im somewhat satisfied

[spark sinew]

[scarlet mortar]

ya2 skill issue

[shell arch]

This looks good

[celest solstice]

I didnt do that one

I had no belief in myself

[spark sinew]

how would that kill the boss

[shell arch]

Dw you'll get used to phantom

[scarlet mortar]

phantom leaks through mon3tr and everyone dies

[spark sinew]

what does pozy even do on that tile

[shell arch]

Ponzi helps in camping loons

[scarlet mortar]

most helpful dps

[celest solstice]

aight, Ima stop playing IS-2, my brain just dies

[shell arch]

Mon3tr can solo phantom if it has block assist from others

[spark sinew]

i think in this case it wouldn't

[shell arch]

What, it can't?

[spark sinew]

well,, m1 doesn't kill fast enough i believe

[scarlet mortar]

it'll block the clone too

[shell arch]

Oh m1

[scarlet mortar]

so rip

[shell arch]

[deft badger]

i would have done this and if u leaked it would be maybe one which i don't think but ok... xD just pinch and kill

[shell arch]

That is just

Bad

Middle will crumble

[scarlet mortar]

drunk guys leak

[shell arch]

Yeah

Loons too

[deft badger]

pozy and read would destroy them plus he has yato

they would cc maybe 2 times till the stage ends

[heady hedge]

has he still not started the stage, tf

[shell arch]

Ponzi won't be able to kill loons. She only can reach 1 tile of loons path

[scarlet mortar]

ya2 barely even killed right side from what they've shown

probs DP issue

[spark sinew]

i think they fumbled the opening

leaked 3-4 idr

otherwise you could just leak most of the left

[shell arch]

We probably thought "oh this guy probably has lvl90 m3 everyone" and we overestimated his operators

[spark sinew]

we did not

[shell arch]

i definitely did

[deft badger]

best advice i can give u with my afk brain, since i did is2 in 3 days grind most efficient way
thorns! 😄

[celest solstice]

no, I fumbled like after placing beagle, beagle got stunned

[shell arch]

Do you have mudmud s3m3?

She can solo phantom with it

[celest solstice]

mudmud is s3m1

[scarlet mortar]

first rule of lucian boss fight, do not trust lucian boss fight

[shell arch]

Ah sheesh I don't know if m1 works

[spark sinew]

is your TR lvl1

if so i approve

[shell arch]

Just don't s3m3 since it's irrelevant anywhere outside this stage

[celest solstice]

the only M3s I have is Mostima, and now becoming S2M3 Yato soon

no one else

[shell arch]

M3 mostima but no m3 kal

[celest solstice]

people said to prioritize Reedic and Yato over Kal

[scarlet mortar]

as an M9 mud owner your opinion is invalid

[celest solstice]

[shell arch]

Yes but they didn't tell you to mod3 mostima don't they

[spark sinew]

mud s3 is her best skill fight me

[shell arch]

[scarlet mortar]

it is

[spark sinew]

that said for this acc i would recommend a lot of thing before mud

would rather s3m3 yato as well

[celest solstice]

wait no it was m1 mostima my bad, it was the module that was level 3

[spark sinew]

rather than s2m3

[scarlet mortar]

most of the time S3 covers what S2 can't, its only detriment is that other ops exist and S2 is hands-off

[shell arch]

Wtf mod3 mostima

[spark sinew]

s3 also just covers what s2 can

like 99% of the time

[scarlet mortar]

yh

[celest solstice]

they said mostima not usable till mod 3

so...

I mod 3ed

[spark sinew]

m3 is implied

[scarlet mortar]

mos S3 isn't useful til mod3*

mods are basically E2.5s in terms of mats you do not build them before your masteries

[spark sinew]

oh is mostima s2 useful anywhere nowadays

i know it's her "best" skill for pool of procreation

but i don't want to m2 it for that

[celest solstice]

👀

[shell arch]

7s stun with 35s downtime isn't good at all

[scarlet mortar]

seek help

[spark sinew]

being inefficient is how some people get off i noticed

[celest solstice]

I play nichenights fr fr

[scarlet mortar]

if making terrible life decisions was a niche i'd better sign up and sweep

[shell arch]

My niche is *6knights

[spark sinew]

i still wonder if mod1 matter for mud if you only use s3 same with penance

i think with penance it's even trickier cause mod2-3 allow her to statcheck more stages

but it won't last forever

maybe it's easier to perma bench her

[celest solstice]

like... my only 2 6 star defenders are literally penance and mudrock lmao

so funny

[shell arch]

no skins

[spark sinew]

why would i downgrade mud

exactly

who fights barefoot

[shell arch]

You're right

[spark sinew]

good, now swap to e0

[shell arch]

No thx i already spent some nites on both skins

[grand ginkgo]

i uh i mean it worked fine ish for me
i picked ansel/perfumer if needed tho
medic squad really helps with this obviously

oops wrong ping
@turbid badge

[tropic valve]

I thought the first rule was bringing someone who ignores dodge

[spark sinew]

too bad we only have fartooth and pozy

[tropic valve]

smh melanite ERASURE

[scarlet mortar]

i have a higher win rate when i don't do that

[spark sinew]

do people even lose on lucian

stage is super solved

you can also just bruteforce with like chalter

[scarlet mortar]

sure they do it's called playing bad

[mossy ore]

[scarlet mortar]

most of the time i don't prep for lucian at all and just wing it when i get there

[spark sinew]

i mean if you're doing ed3/4 you just use whatever you used for them

i'm still unsure what's the "meta" pick for ed3

but ed4 is just black/pozy buff squad to spawncamp for me

which is super overkil for lucian so it works out

[dark glade]

GG altho just picking the 2 frd now just overkill by alot

[spark sinew]

i remember coping like carne ange

but i think arts barely do shit

[scarlet mortar]

FRDs are pretty helpful if you don't have global range

since the dolls are annoying af

alternatively you do the funny thing and just clear the stage with all the dolls active

then stall the puppetmaster to death

(it's almost the only thing defknights can do anw, not like they can rdp)

[spark sinew]

classknights in IS sounds like a pain

[tall cairn]

Specialists only seems like they have mostly everything figured out tho.

[spark sinew]

ticket rng though

[tall cairn]

That. Is a problem. but just get luckier.

[spark sinew]

is is bearable because of those universal ticket relics ig

[celest bluff]

Mf I gonna borrowing something for this event

Haven't lose yet but I don't feel like using my brain

[verbal sparrow]

apparently Thorns AFK S3 is 2.2k DPS
while Swire Alter AFK S2 is 2.7k DPS

[mossy ore]

2.2k but gets cucked by anything close to 1000 def

[verbal sparrow]

yeah with DEF Swire S2 will fare better

oh, I guess complicating the calculation is whether you allow the bottles to sit for 3 seconds

if not then Swire S2 drops to 1.8k DPS

[ashen pewter]

Are there any fair good reviews on Exalter? And how he is compared to other units. Some said he is top tier some said he is not. Maybe if you guys can recommend a good video or review that really experimented it not just on theory.

[vernal lion]

he's great if you know how to use him correctly

https://youtu.be/EhKkAcixlKc?si=aFInChPB1YXss3Dc

[spark sinew]

he is top tier

reviews that paint him as "meh" are probably pre module

but on EN he released with his module already

[ashen pewter]

Thanksss

is it worth M3ing his S1 too?

I sometimes go AFK clear mode when im busy.

Like deploy then leave it there

Can he go toe to toe with other afk lane holders?

[vernal lion]

he can be afk as long as he's still alive

[spark sinew]

he is decent
I'd say not worth m3 though

like, in the trash content you would use him on s1, sl7 probably clears anyway

[glass monolith]

finally i met reasonable AI who sold Gifts for 1050

[celest bluff]

Ah shit

[vernal lion]

the power of limited op

just bring Enforcer for morale support

this hole is so useless

[sullen rover]

or is it?

[celest solstice]

isnt there a puller that can use that hole by being on the water tile

[vernal lion]

Rope s2

[celest solstice]

ye just pull the top tanky mf down into the hole

[vernal lion]

can you even pull them with enough force tho

[celest solstice]

with the power of mountain s3 its possible, I think?

mountain s3 + rope

[vernal lion]

do you even know how force work?

[celest solstice]

can you try it for me

[celest solstice]

no, but it works in my head and thats what counts

[vernal lion]

how about this Swire alter s3

[verbal sparrow]

he has the same property with any enmity operator. past a certain level of pressure he can't self-sustain. His module improves that threshold. If you can keep him alive, he dishes out very good damage even to enemies with some DEF. So he's like Mountain with less survivability / healability and more damage.

[celest solstice]

so its like having mountain, a perfectly rounded character, become a glass cannon?

[verbal sparrow]

tradeoff yeah

[foggy grove]

If mountain has that dmg

The only similarity they have is they self sufficient

[vernal lion]

@scarlet ledge

a perfect 45 degree angle

[verbal sparrow]

diagonal pushing is quite rare

[glass monolith]

As rare as seeing this red ass not calling his homies

[scarlet mortar]

uh hell no, mountain is a glass cannon himself bc his S2 reduces his own def

[verbal sparrow]

if you see random stuff flying at you and sending you flying you'd probably be too surprised to remember your job

[scarlet mortar]

mountain's edge over exfed is that he can be healed directly, not that he's tankier on his own

[scarlet mortar]

real

[scarlet mortar]

the "glass cannon" for exfed applies bc he's a cannon, not bc he's glass

[glass monolith]

I have built Silence alter. I still don't have furry ten with murderous intent

[scarlet mortar]

one of the highest raw dph for laneholders is what he does

pre-mod it was annoying bc the talent RNG climbed too evenly up til the very end of S3

but then mod3 came to fix that and improve the rest of his offensive stats

[glass monolith]

Mountain is cheap self regen attack 2 targets solution against early BS.
Silverash S2 is single target copium version of Mountain S2 which we will use in Texas alter event to stall Cleaners

[verbal sparrow]

#strategy message
this was the only time I used SA S2

[vernal lion]

use Mountain s3 in IW event

[sly drift]

How can she target that tile (I don't have swire)

[celest solstice]

wtf?

[glass monolith]

Spoiler, third node will be emergency

[cyan gorge]

I didn’t know the area was that wide

[glass monolith]

Piano shaped area

[glass monolith]

#strategy message My time of SA S2 usage.... Also Eunectes S2 abuse mainly Imagine CM effect being "Boss gains 100 ATK in phase 2" when phase 2 is not stun immune

[cobalt peak]

hlep

pls

[glass monolith]

You have roadblocks

[cobalt peak]

i do

[glass monolith]

Now win

[cobalt peak]

but...

i keep losing

[glass monolith]

Do sadistic block maze and Kroos or any other ranged operator them in middle

Yea sorry mistypo

[cobalt peak]

hold on

[glass monolith]

Those red tiles make enemy lose hp, i think like 90% of stage are melee enemies, free damage for free

Clownslayer is still being top 1 meme target for push/pull operators

[cobalt peak]

lemme do a lil ark night map thing and show it if it's good

[peak cloak]

lol

2 hp , prob doable with mod 3 Sexas. already m3 and e2 90

[cobalt peak]

how do i map arkingit

idk how to use mapr akrnight

[glass monolith]

2 enemy snipers from top left and top right, don't let them step on bleed tile, Everything else just attack to death. Shaw S1 at that spot will cause boss to get abused as always

[cobalt peak]

[scarlet mortar]

shaw showcase

[glass monolith]

To make stuff even funnier - CN just had mini event which had remake of 4-4 map. It had holes instead roadblocks, and boss just dash into hole

[sly drift]

Now that I get ejyaberry. I feel so lost lol. No more goal on Arknights

[vernal lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp5OcPagHXY&ab_channel=Sciel

Nothing interesting near future

[glass monolith]

E2 every signle operator?

[sly drift]

Sorry im not leite

[glass monolith]

M9 Archetto?

[sly drift]

Nah.. not something like that.

I usually excited over cc or something

But now cc is gone

[glass monolith]

Dude we have DoS to make us rage and then CC1cycle2 which has invisible spawner drone and spawns can go into box and take your life too becuase why not

[sly drift]

Yea but it's nowhere near future. Probably in 4 months.

Or longer idk

We skipped so many events

In the next 4 months it's going to flat, nothing very interesting.

We don't even have is4

[vernal lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfSH53U2CKI&ab_channel=Tums

[cobalt peak]

i forgot shaw

[spark sinew]

except glass cannon basically never dies because it can heal to full very fast

and it's not really glass

and it has true aoe

basically they're not similar at all

his survivability is better than mountain as well

but he tanks ranged attacks really badly in comparison

[clever kernel]

Aight

How do I spawncamp dolly in cm

Warf + exu not enough

Only works in normal

[spark sinew]

why do you want to spawncamp just use uncle

[glass monolith]

Warf + Exu + Sora

[spark sinew]

idt you even need warf

[glass monolith]

Solution to not enough buffs is more buffs

[spark sinew]

better use like suzu

[clever kernel]

..

[spark sinew]

she was in shop like 2 times

[clever kernel]

L

[spark sinew]

don't skadi emote me

[clever kernel]

I never buy shop cuz I have gambling addiction

[glass monolith]

And then got executed by Yostar age control squad Kappa

[clever kernel]

Anyways I don't have her

But I still think it's lacking

Can uncle 1 cycle the bastard

[glass monolith]

SUZU IS LITERALLY 33% MORE DAMAGE HOW THE F DOES IT LACKING?

[clever kernel]

Not enough dp for her if spawncamp

I still need to setup afks on blue box

[glass monolith]

Camp issue, canta s2 + bagpipe

[clever kernel]

I use ines, bagpipe and ely

[glass monolith]

There is red box there is a way

[clever kernel]

Still not enough somehow

If uncle can 1 cycle phase 1 dolly I'm in

Bsstard route is long but there isn't any ground tile on top left can't abuse soda

[glass monolith]

Literally all ranged tiles are fountain

[clever kernel]

Burst window is the first tunnel

[clever kernel]

Soda is much faster

[glass monolith]

Knows alter to take him down in Exu downtime

[clever kernel]

I don't have her raised

Also there isn't enough tile for medic and 2 sniper in top left right?

[glass monolith]

Soda 1/3 shield damage CD 15. Kroos alter 1 boss death (with buffs) in 1 skill with CD of who cares boss died

[clever kernel]

Mf how many buffs can u fit with 2 ranged tiles

[glass monolith]

Which tile Exu at

Not spawn camp of boss, but death of boss for sure

[clever kernel]

2nd top left tile facing left with wrf on the other healing

Maybe I shouldn't bother with spawncamping

It would be Hella cool tho

The manticore setup looks really good tho, might copy that instead

[cobalt peak]

how to fix

[spark sinew]

why is she facing top

i assume if you know the strat you're copying a guide

guide will be facing different direction

you also need skill lvl 4 at least iirc

[glass monolith]

Well F you now I want to spawn camp

[spark sinew]

exu p4 fine?

or are you looking for at p6

[clever kernel]

I can attest that for cm, warf exu at p1 doesn't work

[spark sinew]

exu p1 is defective so that's expected

🏃‍♂️

[clever kernel]

Maybe I need skalter s3 but I used skalter s2 for afk, and she didn't charge fast enough

[clever kernel]

I mod3 her to close the gap

[spark sinew]

you won't believe it

[celest horizon]

you face shaw down so that you push CS past the roadblock

[vernal lion]

@clever kernel Tachanka can oneshot EX-8 CM Dolly with enough buff

[clever kernel]

Spawncamp?

[vernal lion]

yes

[clever kernel]

How much buff

Reminder there's only 2 ranged tiles and 2 melee tiles

[vernal lion]

let me write down the formula

[foggy grove]

https://youtu.be/g1GWwecQxvQ?si=MaJA6Gw6qliBLKlZ

[cobalt peak]

ohh alright tysm

[clever kernel]

Can chanka charge skill fast enough?

[vernal lion]

he can shoot air

(can't he?)

but dw just give him the cola to shoot

[clever kernel]

Also I'm fake lord believer do he's unraised

Interesting tho

Maybe I can borrow suzu cuz her s3 can reach

[celest bluff]

I have mod 3 lord

No mastery tho

Will do that next week

[fiery marsh]

How much extra stats Challenger mode give again? I did AH only ex8 but i cannot kill 2nd phase Dolly in a single downtime anymore , and he gets up with like 15% hp

[glass monolith]

I run out of irl sanity, F it

And I will stab first person to tell me that more correct location for Suzu was on tile next to boss for extra 0.5 tiles to slow him in because I did think of that

[tepid sigil]

Is 60sec enough to spawncamp dolly?

[glass monolith]

Well i almost managed to spawnkill, only issue my strategy has zero answers to tornado and just meme to show that you can kill boss

[clever kernel]

wait you can silence dolly nuke ability?

[glass monolith]

Phase 2 don't have it, i was coping some way to slow this shit down

[clever kernel]

oh

thank god

[vernal lion]

@clever kernel
(all conditions are max)

• max Tachanka with mod2 has 710 atk,
• Warf buff +90% atk,
• Stainless buff +48% x2 (+96%) atk,
• Skalter buff ~460 atk,
• Aak buff +50% atk and +50 aspd,
• Suzu buff x1,4 dmg
• Sham debuff -50% def

1. Tachanka's total atk: 710 x (1 + 0,9 + 0,96 + 0,5) + 460 = ~2845
2. Tachanka's s2 aspd + buff: (1,3 x 0,15) / 1,5 = 0,13
3. Tachanka's total hit of s2: 4 / 0,13 = ~30,77 = 30
4. EX-8 CM Boss' hp & def: 96000 hp & 1080 def
5. Shamare debuff: 1080 x 0,5 = 540
6. Tachanka's total dmg on boss: (2845 - 540) x 1,4 x 30 = 96810 > 96000

[glass monolith]

Well phase 2 has it but only happens when it become floating again

[clever kernel]

is this chanka pot6

[vernal lion]

no

just max level, mod 2

[clever kernel]

nice...

[vernal lion]

no need mastery

this is NOT rng gamble, I do it with real stats

so you don't need his RNG dmg from s2

[clever kernel]

sigh i should m3 sham eh

shes still only used as base slave till now

[clever kernel]

wait where do you place stainless thingy here? you can only fit one no?

retreat warf?

same with aak positioning

hmm

i think suzu can go topside and warf can heal her facing up, and then u can retreat warf in the burst window so aak can shoot

[vernal lion]

deploy Aak > proc skill > retreat > deploy Warf > proc skill > retreat > deploy Device > proc skill

[clever kernel]

duration is enough? incredible

[vernal lion]

s1 Device can be deployed on ranged tile

(isn't it?)

[clever kernel]

idk i dont have him

[glass monolith]

S1 anywhere, S2 anywhere, S3 ground only

[vernal lion]

good

@clever kernel strat works

[glass monolith]

Or so i think

[clever kernel]

cool

cant do it, dont have both suzu and stainless

[foggy grove]

does he really need suzu with white smoke amps?

[glass monolith]

We don't hyper buff our shit to just back away, aren't we?

[vernal lion]

yea, you can remove Suzu, this math is just pure dmg without getting interrupted from any game mechanism

Exu may work too, but I need to calculate the right timing for her

[vernal lion]

Tachanka is such a god gift,
a Guard with both Swordmaster and Lord archetype in one

best collab fr

[glass monolith]

And gameplay of buying Negev in CS

F everything in that general direction

[clever kernel]

i can burst phase 1

phase 2 can be done in the final area

good enough

[scarlet mortar]

i like how they could've just made him a sentinel that shot twice and that'd be pretty consistent with all the archetypes

no. swordmaster

[vernal lion]

hit twice as a Swordmaster, then +2 attack ranges like a Lord,
damn

[peak cloak]

AWP users hate flash but Negev: just hold left mouse

[jade quail]

Help with SL - 8

[vital arrow]

Whats the problem

[jade quail]

Just beating it

[vital arrow]

Yeah but what exactly is the problem

Also show roster, idk who you have

[jade quail]

Also ejya is e1 level 60

[vital arrow]

Ok uh general advice, stop E1 maxing your ops if they're not gonna be E2

You're wasting resources that way and are effectively stunting your progression for minimal gains

[jade quail]

Ohh I have two e2 units

[vital arrow]

Yeah, click and may

Schwarz penance and chongyue are sitting there unraised

So easiest way is to borrow mlynar

[jade quail]

Alright 🥲

[vital arrow]

Show your squad

[vital arrow]

Replace jessica with kroos or kroos alter

Bring perfumer

Replace gavial with sussurro

Estelle is meh, replace her with cutter

Swap projekt red to S1

Bring gummy and cuora for extra measure

[peak cloak]

SL - 8? i dont think his squad even enough to walk through cuz not yet an e2 so that he can borrow some decent 6*

[vital arrow]

Mlynar can carry it

That is an E2 may

[peak cloak]

ah, he has may e2

[spark sinew]

did you level eyja in that minute that have passed

3 healers might be overkill

[jade quail]

Yahhh

[vital arrow]

Looking at those unraised penance chong and schwarz is painful

[vital arrow]

Bruh, raise your dps instead

Medic isnt gonna win you games

[jade quail]

Lol yeahh 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[vital arrow]

Just borrow mlynar and swap your squad members

Bring click and replace gavial with her

[vital arrow]

Replace hibiscus with click

You dont need 3 medics

Sussurro wants S2

Swap may to S2

[vital arrow]

Now just borrow a good mlynar

Put him toplane facing down so he can reach the chokepoint on bottom lane

Camp the bottom lane with kroos/may and click facing left

[vital arrow]

Do you not have a mlynar friend

[jade quail]

Nope

[vital arrow]

Kerf#0066

[spark sinew]

get a friend
or at least get lvl90

[vital arrow]

This is kinda sad

[spark sinew]

i mean judging by FB

not a bad friend list chen without a mod is sad tho

[vital arrow]

Take my mlynar

[jade quail]

Added

[jade quail]

Gracias 😭

[vital arrow]

Wait wheres your vg, replace catapult with a vg

[vital arrow]

Siege is fine, use S2 if you wanna use her

[spark sinew]

you seem to spread yourself really thin though
a lot of raised units all at e1

[vital arrow]

And ended up with 0 carries

[spark sinew]

you could cope carne as dps but the sl8 is awkward for her, so that's fun

[jade quail]

Hmmm

[spice mortar]

Any unit that solos 10-17

[spark sinew]

go to arkrec and check

it's probably ling

gasp

there are 2 op clears without ling, but no solo'

[spice mortar]

Yah shoulda guessed

[spark sinew]

i mean it's 2 blue boxes

kinda hard to solo unless ling

the stat bloat on slugs also isn't good for maga

i assume you wanted it

And don't forget minor handicap of 3000 true damage in your face

[vernal lion]

Arknights PvP when

[spice mortar]

Bloons td battles style when?

[vernal lion]

they should make it

[spice mortar]

Lvl up click and may at least to lvl 20

Costs around 3 pesos worth of lmd

[spark sinew]

team looks fine because mly will basically do all the heavy lifting

and it's pretty defensive so it would work great

[jade quail]

Alright

[vernal lion]

go for it

beat the sheep boss ass out

[jade quail]

Practice mode

[vital arrow]

Ok I'm trying some few strats

Ngl this is pretty rougg

[jade quail]

Ez 😭😭😭

[vital arrow]

Did you do it?

So here, if you can raise your pinecone it'd be much smoother

[jade quail]

No

[vital arrow]

Do you have enough to raise pinecone

[jade quail]

E1 pinecone lvl 1

[vital arrow]

At least get her to like 40-50

[spark sinew]

meanwhile e2 units are still lvl1

[jade quail]

Yeahh

[jade quail]

Ouchy

[vital arrow]

So here if you can get pinecone to lv 40 or something you can try this

Basically drop mlynar as soon as possible after dropping a vg and a sniper

Once dolly get into mlynar's range, swing with mlynar and drop bottles as needed so it's left with 1 star

Once it loops back around to mlynar range, drop 1 more bottle to finish phase 1 and retreat mlynar

[jade quail]

It's too much taping for me

I might messed it up

[scarlet mortar]

the pause button and bullet time exist for this

just be prepared to enter bullet time before you have to do anything with much timing involved

(arguably this hardly has any precise timing involved so you could just pause and play tbh)

[vernal lion]

imagine playing Plants vs Zombies without tapping more than 50 times per stage

[vital arrow]

I mean, what else are you gonna do

[jade quail]

I'll give it a try with pinecone

[jade quail]

I could give you my acc for you to try it out

[spice mortar]

This is not 10-17

[spark sinew]

it is

challenge mode tho

[spice mortar]

The layout is different

[spark sinew]

did you want normal

[spice mortar]

Compatibility

[vernal lion]

he just does normal

[spark sinew]

i have 0 idea wtf this is

[vernal lion]

10-17 normal

[spice mortar]

I dont just do normal, im rushing through

[vital arrow]

Pretty sure thats a bad idea

[spark sinew]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ka411e7mo/
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV17S4y1t78N/

take your pick

[vernal lion]

this is normal version

[spice mortar]

Thankiea

[vernal lion]

this is hard version

[spark sinew]

first one is not mod3

[vernal lion]

if you want to get more rewards from story mission, you will need to do hard version too

[spark sinew]

i'm assuming they rush some module unlock stage or smth

[jade quail]

Ooof could do it

[spark sinew]

doing it on story is pgood, 0 sanity spent

[glass monolith]

Easier. No leeches

[vital arrow]

Yea just keep going

[jade quail]

May up?

[vital arrow]

May next to mlynar facing down

[jade quail]

Alright

[spice mortar]

Im not doing it on story though

Maybe i should

[spark sinew]

you should

[spice mortar]

Stam for event more important?

[spark sinew]

there's ongoing event so i would rather save it for it ye

during downtime just do adverse clears

[verbal sparrow]

Spam all stam on event mats

[spark sinew]

they would count as both normal and hard clears at once

[verbal sparrow]

100 for each of 3 event mats. 200 if you are 🐳

[vital arrow]

You can get by not farming crystal tbh

[spark sinew]

i'm farming crystals at this point

[vital arrow]

I've never actually needed to actively farm them

Just focus on aketon and manganese first

[verbal sparrow]

Some mats last longer than others yeah

[vital arrow]

Like 150-200 each

[spark sinew]

the byproducts from regular stages are pretty meh if you already only farm mats on events

[jade quail]

Anyone wants to try SL - 8 on my acc 😭

[vernal lion]

I still remember how easy this anni is

[spark sinew]

go go
you still have EX to do

[vernal lion]

btw that is Myrtle s2

[spark sinew]

i remember this anni

it was the beginning of my disappointment with saga

i just s3m3 her by the time i started the anni

[vernal lion]

[jade quail]

Ahhhhh

Im going to stress out

[vernal lion]

you should only play game because it's fun

[spark sinew]

did like no damage, dp gen is slow
god forbid you put her at the blue box...

[tidal sedge]

DP gen is slow?

[halcyon adder]

Donate me some devices kerf

[tidal sedge]

It's pretty average isn't it

[spark sinew]

felt like it
i think if we do the math it's probably not below average pioneer maybe

but it's a manual skill so in anni it competes with flags

it is pretty big dp for one click at least

[tidal sedge]

0.33 if we care about average. It's just on a relatively long cycle for a vg skill

Not a lot of 60 second cycles among them

S1m3 pioneers have 0.34 average for comparison sake

[spark sinew]

[glass monolith]

Imagine RA2 "fixed" mine cart spam?

[spark sinew]

don't most people expect another sui bro

so far i have seen:

1. sui male
2. zuo le
3. leizi alter
4. blaze alter

i do not know what is the most cope

[spark sinew]

blaze alter???

[glass monolith]

5. Somehow another AH

[spark sinew]

i cope leizi skin

idt leizi needs alter that much

[quick pecan]

her module is tied to leizi ig

[spark sinew]

zuo le is prob 5* and mostly confirmed

[quick pecan]

or some other yan stuff

[glass monolith]

Blaze/Leizi modules: character related development BS
Ceobe module: Hungry doggo applied baguette to bandits

[spark sinew]

from what i heard people are like very sure

but idk i skipped the story so idk who that is

[glass monolith]

"Immortal"

[vernal lion]

not anymore

[spark sinew]

leizi's module writing is...

[glass monolith]

This is Immortal

[quick pecan]

can i ask y’all what you draft from supporter tickets in is

[spark sinew]

i'm still not sure what it talks about

[quick pecan]

i feel like my picks are so ass i just grab reserve caster or orchid lmfaooo

[spark sinew]

like, is it about leizi

[quick pecan]

i would grab stainless if he wasn’t so expensive

[quick pecan]

if you look at blaze module in wiki there is text highlighted in blue that links to leizi on wiki
