i have 190 pulls, but i will pull at last day of this banner for 6* to not waste pity
But i want to pull Typhon

@spark sinew whats wrong with lumen...
spark sinew
eyja tramples lumen with her hooves
quick pecan
ive just been autoimg sl-6
spark sinew
and he will never stand up
undone moth
i ended up using a cheap dp person to block off the first hit of the fat sheeps while eyja and penance finished off the current one
deft badger
have been using him since i started playing and he works just fine
deft badger
btw single target they drive the same hps
quick pecan
finally started my gavialt masteries

I have 200 Aketon and Mango, decided to farm component because i don't know what it does, want to remove it from potential targets for farming in future events
spark sinew
and eyja heals 2
deft badger
someone did even post a chart
spark sinew
and eyja has elemental resistance
undone moth
also she's a pretty goat
spark sinew
lumen can't even choose
crisp bolt
lumen s3 is useless in certain stages
spark sinew
yeah the only downside is her looking the same as og
crisp bolt
basically all of ch6
deft badger
yesssss i got it, but if u are on limited pulls
u don't even really use healers later btw, lumes s3 is fine if u are looking for a ST healer
spark sinew
i'm not sure why even try to say "they have the same hps on ST"
it makes lumen looks trash, because anyone who looks at eyja sees she heals 2
quick pecan
eyjalt range is enough to just deploy her and cover two nearby lanes and double up on what would be a shining in one lane and a lumen in another
deft badger
because they do someone posted post a chart and by it lumen and eyja heal the same when it comes to one target heals
deft badger
if i have typhone up coming, i am limited when it comes to my pull numbers
i am going to use lumen and skip eyja...
is what i would do
spark sinew
you do as you wish obviously and pull on kernel instead apparently 
somber stone
But swire alt so you can not level jaye
spark sinew
it's so stupid
deft badger
first he s- on me for even bringing a healer, then when i say if i am limited on pulls i would go for typhone and not eyja 😄
now he acts like i am crazy

@lyric ginkgo btw unlock the event... so that u can auto the first stage for the shop reward
focus on getting factory 3, workshop 3, control center 4
push story 3-8, do IS2 monthly and e2 a 6 star and 4 star then go for ex stages in the event and spend the sanity u are getting in the coming days to auto sl6-7-8 event stages one of them
tropic perch
do u have snipers?
Yes i have
deft badger
Yes i have
show me ur squad, but its one sniper to the left one right
block with melee left and right
find place for healer to cover the melees that's it
tropic perch
deft badger
get kroos and replace for executor, spot for matter
as far i care u can leave blemi
did u open the 5 star packs?
in ur depot
deft badger
what did u take from the 5 star packs?
tropic perch
Waaifu
tropic perch
I dont remember if i got a second Pack or not
deft badger
one is yellow one is black
black one has 4 ops in it
can u screen ur 5 and 4 stars so that i see what u got
just to tell u what to put in to ur squad so that u focus on them
lyric ginkgo
push story 3-8, do IS2 monthly and e2 a 6 star and 4 star then go for ex stages ...
What is IS2? And SL6-8? Are those the event stages?
deft badger
What is IS2? And SL6-8? Are those the event stages?
u are going to unlock IS after 3-8
SL are the event stages
in IS2 u have monthly squads, u can run each of them and get the rewards wich are going to give u lmd xp and chips u do need to e2 ops
lyric ginkgo
Am I crazy or is there a ton to do in this game and it's even hard to figure where to start
deft badger
same with the event shop its loaded with mats and other goodies
u can start where u want actually, but main prio is event shop always
and there isn't much its just when u start, u get lvlups really fast ur sanity gets replenished
i just listed u the efficient way to get ur first e2s, which sounds much but is actually couple hours work 2-3 hours game play rest will be waiting for drones in ur base to replanish 😄
lyric ginkgo
I can get my first e2 in a couple of hours?
deft badger
u can get ur first e2 4 star in like 30min after starting
4 star cutter guard, good op, 15-30min
lyric ginkgo
Hmmmm Idk how. I don't even have an e1 yet
deft badger
the moment u unlock the event u will e1 them all
ty to press that button on the left side
what does it tell u how far do u have to go in to the story
get kroos in to ur squad and e1 her
she is a sniper
just push to the event
lyric ginkgo
I can go in and I already got Kroos
I literally have no level ups left over for her lol
deft badger
just keep doing story i think its after u finish episode 1
btw take a look in to missions
left side those give a lot
build a squad btw focus just on them 8 ops max push dds first
it unlocks after 1-11 i think
foggy grove
wow 30 min for e2 so pro
lofty sundial
maybe doable if it's experiencd player starting new acc
my first e2 was after 2 month playing
because no direction or guide
tropic valve
what else to do in ako
do propaganda
lyric ginkgo
build a squad btw focus just on them 8 ops max push dds first
Oh I've been pushing 12 units
lyric ginkgo
Yeah I only barely know what I'm doing
lofty sundial
Yeah I only barely know what I'm doing
take your time, focus on building first squad, and farm event because it's giving lots of rewards from shop
deft badger
well the thing is when u come in the game there is so much u can do and u are kinder lost everything opens up and u are not really sure where to go
endup wasting sanity on supplies or doing some stuff that isn't efficient
btw we didn't have monthly IS2 1 year ago when i started xD
deft badger
then depends what u get on 6 stars and 5 stars u can replace couple of them but they are early useful
some u carry on for later till u replace them
lyric ginkgo

local tourist b
um ackshually it's Female Tourist C 🤓
deft badger
leave flame, perfumer, meteor, ansel chalter, beagle in the team don't waste more xp lmd on the rest
and put kroos in it
and go do that 1-11
cosmic thicket
may is generally more preferable to meteor but if you don't have her i guess she'll be okay
deft badger
made him even a 2nd list what to look for
but my acc didn't get a may
or gummy or perfumer
cosmic thicket
if you're really trying to minmax lava is generally enough for AoE caster stuff (you also have chalter), fang can sometimes replace scavenger, and steward can replace amiya
lyric ginkgo
Hmmm I don't got any of those on the second list tho
These are some of the other ones I got tho
deft badger
there are probably 2 packs in it
a yellow and a black one
u can pick ops from them if u didn't open them already but i think u didn't
lyric ginkgo
I haven't yet I've been saving them
And I thought Jessica was good? And Fang is better than Amiya?
deft badger
yellow one u can start with lapp or specter, but since u don't have aeren use lapp so that u can do something else later not going to tell u what now to much info 😄
deft badger
And I thought Jessica was good? And Fang is better than Amiya?
kroos does more dmg on e1l55
just by her talent
and is cheaper
don't know about fang
use vigna
just because of dmg for now, u will figure out dp later she cheap to deploy and does dmg
deft badger
just kick jessica for now add kroos go for 1-11
doesn't even matter what u use atm
u will pull anyway and get new stuff
lyric ginkgo
I've already beatn 1-11 of that main story. Unless you're talking about the event
deft badger
have u finished pulling on beginner banner?
lyric ginkgo
Yeah
deft badger
and they gave u only flame -.-
wow
nvm, go in to the event
but i think u will have to get that kroos e1
u can do couple more story stages just to do missions
fringe jackal
you have chalter anyway, doesn't really matter if flame ain't great
deft badger
for lmd to e1 her
then do first event stage repeat it couple times buy lmd and xp from the shop
lvlops u are going to keep in the squad
do couple more lvlup
lyric ginkgo
So yeah my only 6s are Flametail, Chalter, and Swire
deft badger
do couple story stages pull pull till u get cutter 😄
chalter is already more then fine... u will get couple more
if u get the tag "nuke" that's cutter
weak gazelle
my advice is dont get so fixated about 6*
yours already more than enough to go through story map to certain degree
the thing you have to do is evenly lvl your operators and aim elite 1 (E1)
and starting build your base as passive lmd & exp income, you will need it for sure
lyric ginkgo
I'm trying to do the 2-5-3 for my base to start with
cosmic thicket
253 doesn't exist, 252 is better than 243 though
if you're insane you could try 351 but it's a little annoying to follow
lyric ginkgo
That's right 252.
weak gazelle
thats good start
i am not a base nerd so #r-i-i-c might be a good place to ask advice from

Isn't Roberta E2 technically faster since you get 10 t3 solvent from level 3 of IS2
deft badger
probably naga made a list who is the best
but i took cutter since i am going to use her in IS grind
cosmic thicket
I only know this because of the CC11 r0 speedruns
deft badger
well from there set a auto for one of the higher stages in the event do it till u have xp and lmd cleaer, finish IS2 monthlies, do base to be able to craft chips
and day 2 ingame u have a e2 six star
then push story to jt8-2
and pull like a mad man on banner 😄

would shamare be good forthat role on sl-8?

without Mlynar there are a ton of options, but with marksmen specifically, you kinda need to go the buff army route

yeah sham can make them do some works

strange hazel
shaw / any pusher can shove enemies off the top at lv 1 but it's not required
scarlet mortar
oh that
strange hazel
yeah just chokepoint the bottom lane
top lane has way less enemies and you can just hold it with a healer and thorns?
scarlet mortar
i think i didn't even notice the roofside cliffs and just dps'd everything
strange hazel
i mean if you're having issues with the north enemies shaw is useful
i'm not sure they're dangerous though
devout garnet
i try and put thorns with liskarm top lane but they keep passing them
strange hazel
are they dying or is their block count getting overwhelmed
scarlet mortar
i need to check what the stage looks like, nothing specific comes to mind so it might just be a numbers game
strange hazel
right lane should have blue poison (facing up to deal with the def drones, maybe)?
also are you having any DP issues at all
devout garnet
no just too little slots when i was doing it
strange hazel
ye then amiya covers top left lane enemies with spot?
you have enough healers / snipers to go around if necessary
scarlet mortar
ok it's just fodder spam with def drones
strange hazel
blue poison / earthspirit deals with the shielded drones ye
scarlet mortar
thorns won't help at E0, get marksmen to deal with the drones so everyone else can kill
strange hazel
i might be wildly off because i don't play with e0's though
devout garnet
he was mostly just to stop the people from passing
strange hazel
yeah if you have a ton of block count on a lane it's going to get overwhelmed eventually
you also need dps
strange hazel
block count lowers the dps requirement but doesn't erase it (unless you're able to permastall the last handful of enemies, but you'd need to kill to get there anyway)
devout garnet
so level amiya and use her top lane? when i tried initially she kept hitting the ground enemies but idk
vernal lion
this stage can be beaten by 2 star 
devout garnet

this stage can be beaten by 2 star <:PodencoSip:769880167124172810>

and also no robot pots

is 4:26 a bad clear timefor auto on sl-8?
devout garnet
robots as in the 1* thing? i think i have one but its support
vernal lion
is 4:26 a bad clear timefor auto on sl-8?
in x1 or x2 speed
trim cedar
context- team is yatoalt, gravel, surtr, eyja, SA, BP, warf, Saria, that sniper wamen who has def shred similar to pozy. x2 speed
strange hazel
oh the top lane gets rushed by a ton of enemies huh
guess i must've confused it for something else
devout garnet
yeah lol
strange hazel
cutter should be able to handle it?
maybe not the drones
but be able to do enough damage to the standard enemies. i trust e1 lv70 blue poison to solo half of the right lane on her own anyway
devout garnet
is cutter a character or
strange hazel
you have cutter on your main team lol
vernal lion
is 4:26 a bad clear timefor auto on sl-8?
strange hazel
actually hmm im unsure
vernal lion
glass monolith
If it clears, you winning
strange hazel
as long as amiya kills the defender-4 there you are winning

hi im still kinda new does this look like a good team to use

https://youtu.be/_ZUJhJRzShg
damn
devout garnet
alright i'll level amiya too and play around a bit
glass monolith
Grab folintic for your medical war crimes
strange hazel
also another option is get support pinecone instead
pinecone s1 and have her stand on the leftmost drone tile
devout garnet
i don't have her i believe
strange hazel
she'll just kill the drone and handle the left side of the stage with no issues
yeah as a support unit
sage glade
are there other incantation medica besudes reed alter and hibialter?
devout garnet
ah i see
foggy grove
there is 1 more on cn iirc
scarlet mortar
yh vendela
devout garnet
if i do put her there do i put amiya on the bottom area or?
strange hazel
she does slightly less than 2k damage with her skill on command
peak cloak
actually hmm im unsure
it depend on your op strenghts and how well-built are your top dps ops , i clear it within 3 mins
strange hazel
if i do put her there do i put amiya on the bottom area or?
put anyone else anywhere you like, make sure to handle the top defender-4's though (amiya / earthspirit?)
just make sure to have pinecone supported by someone with at least 2 block and a healer
scarlet mortar
pinecone should wreck either lane tbh
devout garnet
pinecone is a ranged person right?
sage glade
ohhh vendela
strange hazel
yeah pinecone destroys both lanes but the left lane has one entry point and the drone's position is right on her
sage glade
shes a five star lets hope i get her
strange hazel
pinecone is ranged yeah
devout garnet
finding supports takes so long
strange hazel
has a very short radius but destroys everything close to her
strange hazel
uh i have a support pinecone if you friend

what is your username?

mousse is next on the mastery line for jt8-2/jt8-3 cm
anyway what situations does estelle significantly outperform humus? because it seems like humus is just the better option 90% of the time
tall cairn
strange hazel
ye I did watch the video but i sort of think “Estelle can deal with weak mobs better” isn’t saying much when humus kills them too without losing barrier
maybe for low op Estelle has use (GT final stage in particular has crazy low attack enemies that let Estelle precharge s2 and she only faces wolves and wraiths for half the map)
iirc humus also has true aoe so that slug isn’t slipping by his one less block count
tall cairn
Humus should be better usually yeah.
Estelle kinda only works if her s2 finish off the enemy in time.
strange hazel
only main difference is humus can’t be healed but you probably wouldn’t put him or estelle on that dangerous lane anyway
tall cairn
Jessica is worthless afaik.
strange hazel
I think I’d rather use deepcolor summons or gravel over that dodge, and deepcolor gives dodge (even if only phys) anyway
glass monolith
Jessica sponsors our gold into LMD loop, no bad talking Jessica 
strange hazel
ye when I say an operator is outclassed, I usually mean “they deserve better”
tall cairn
Ig in the end it just depends on whether you have to deal with the deploy limit huh.

But if you look past 4*, quite hard to find usage for Jessica even for niches.
strange hazel
for hard mobs I’d rather bring in the heavy snipers (ambriel,pinecone,shira,etc)
turbid badge
this is more of like a cheap
strange hazel
light defense mobs get shredded by kroos anyway
turbid badge
Option
tall cairn
For noob mobs you kinda still have May
turbid badge
wtf kroos i thought only 4 star
tall cairn
And May is so much better.
turbid badge
may just a decel binder smhsmh
vernal lion
4 star is like "I tried to do best on my job" kind
strange hazel
may just a decel binder smhsmh
honestly true but with better range
tall cairn
But the slow gives her more opportunities to deal more dmg.
strange hazel
right but that’s on single target only
tall cairn
Also prolly one of the only air stuns 4*s have access to.
strange hazel
if there’s an influx of mobs that slow isn’t increasing personal dps
strange hazel
Also prolly one of the only air stuns 4*s have access to.
this and ambriel rng iirc
tall cairn
Should have other things to clear multiple mobs anyways
tall cairn
Click s2 stuns as well.
strange hazel
also in the current event
tall cairn
but yeah not many options.
strange hazel
Click s2 stuns as well.
how’d I forget lol
tall cairn
justice for click.
turbid badge
yea
strange hazel
is click substantially better at e2
strange hazel
she’s in the waiting line since I have haze and indigo already e2 with masteries at the moment
tall cairn
no clue, but s2 doesn't decrease in sp cost with masteries.
vernal lion
I like how in old TD games, you deploy your units and upgrade them when you get more money from defeating enemies of each wave,
but in this game, you whale for their level and skill to max
tall cairn
Leaves a sour taste.
vernal lion
literally, everything can be solved by leveling your skill
strange hazel
no clue, but s2 doesn't decrease in sp cost with masteries.
bleh
tall cairn
tho, it does increase stun duration by a little bit.
tall cairn
oh wait there's also an increase in skill duration from 26-30.
Not sure how much it'll affect gameplay.
strange hazel
ok that’s very workable
vernal lion
RNG stun rate = bad case for auto 
strange hazel
me with indigo binds
tall cairn
y'know what, m3 click seems pretty worth it.
turbid badge
yes
its a 4i
4*
no complaining on materials
unless ur gains are like ash s1 and cost a 🦵
or executor (sniper)
strange hazel
sometimes I wonder what would my experience have been like if I didn’t go 4*
tall cairn
how about mah m6 lvl 1 Totter.
strange hazel
then I saw penance’s mastery costs and noped out
tall cairn
Hasn't paid off too lazy.
tall cairn
i raising deepcolr
good.
tall cairn
deepcolor strong.
strange hazel
deepcolor is broken
strange hazel
infinite gravels for a deployment slot
tall cairn
only has problems with dp slots.
vernal lion
turbid badge
i havent used her outside of IS honestly shes just been raised this event
tall cairn
6* players don't have a use for many 4*s outside of is unfortunately.
tall cairn
lmao.
vernal lion
an exception is Deepcolor is the only one that is coded to be able to deploy 7 tentacles in a same time
while the other mod doesn't have the function like that
very nice HG
tall cairn
it's good for deepcolor since she's the only one that doesn't regenerate her summon?
might be wrong.
vernal lion
we have Mayer and Mag too
tall cairn
mod is definitely very required.
strange hazel
mod is overtuned tbh
vernal lion
keep in mind that Mayer and Mag are engineer, so they can only recycle the summon instead of creating more of them
strange hazel
more summon good, but seven of them?
turbid badge
it's good for deepcolor since she's the only one that doesn't regenerate her sum...
for both skills yea
strange hazel
I’m not complaining because she makes baiting dangerous single target attacks take no effort
vernal lion
more summon good, but seven of them?
the fact that has more summons just to be used in the case when you want to stall
turbid badge
magallan s3 and mayer s2 allows recycle
strange hazel
and you can use her to -2/3 op too many stages
tall cairn
tho you really shouldn't require 7 tentacles at once.
strange hazel
eh exaggeration maybe just 1-2
vernal lion
7 tentacles are like for IS3
strange hazel
nope but I’m not surprised
turbid badge
what animal id deepcolor
glass monolith
You know not everything in AK is furry?
turbid badge
oh she vamp squid
strange hazel
I’m this close to using deepcolor gravel and yato to infistall talulah on jt8-2 cm
tall cairn
do it.
strange hazel
you know the stage where she just has 90% res from the start
tall cairn
the 'amiya' stage?
vernal lion
You know not everything in AK is furry?
strange hazel
yeah basically lmao
turbid badge
im using tentacle to fight tentacle
strange hazel
no physical dps works without good setup and lets be honest I’m not that smart
also can’t do the mato stall because she isn’t maxed
turbid badge
matomiru
tall cairn
amazing.
vernal lion
it's a fucking 4 hp for 1 level
strange hazel
let’s go 4 hp
strange hazel
I don’t think I ever stop between 80 and 90 tbh
id only ever go all the way to max
tall cairn
looking at 0s is just more satisfying.
cerulean ferry
wich vanguard should i use
strange hazel
fang sees use even in the midgame
plume is good now but gets outclassed (consider building) and vanilla is more offensive than fang but has less defenses
yato is a cheap replacement fast redeploy and you only need to build her once you need another one (and she caps at extremely low level, can be done very cheaply)
vernal lion
wich vanguard should i use
all of them worth, but recommend order Fang > Plume > Vanilla > Yato
Vanilla is squishy so you may not need to level up her too
Plume will support for chap 1 and 2 a lot
spice mortar
Is autoing sl 8 impossible if you dont burst down dolly instantly? His boss skill activations are seemingly random which fucks up all of the timing 90% of the time
vital arrow
Is autoing sl 8 impossible if you dont burst down dolly instantly? His boss skil...
Its not random
tidal sedge
i got siege, is it worth it using her on early game? and maybe to mid game too cuz id like to like to avoid grinding up again for those mats if i can
spice mortar
Its not random
Why is it different every time i auto then
vital arrow
It has a timer, and it does it everytime it recovers its shield
tidal sedge
plus is 1 vanguard enough?
spice mortar
I dont get why it fucks up though
vital arrow
Make a more stable auto
spice mortar
Let me magic that real quick
vital arrow
Dont spam the bottle
The bottle's CD gets affected by white clouds
So dropping it at least every 15s is nice because its the normal cooldown
spice mortar
Yeah ill just manual farm istg
vital arrow
Just farm the other stage
spice mortar
I need manganese
spice mortar
spice mortar
The issues arrive at the top of the stage, which is exu and silverash + eyjaberry
vital arrow
Ok whats with the top stage
spice mortar
vital arrow
That should be fine for SL8
spice mortar
Exu shot down dolly a second too early or late or whatever which caused dolly to stay in exu range for longer which caused this
spice mortar
Its meant to be 2 hp there and that bottle is meant to be dead
spice mortar
Yeah no this stage is so bad
vital arrow
Yeah no this stage is so bad
Wait why are you using eyja S2
Why not just use eyja S3 and have a 2nd burst
spice mortar
To deal with the scrap
spice mortar
My s2 is m3 and s3 is m0 idk if that makes that big a difference
vital arrow
Yes it makes a big difference
Because S3 is an actual burst skill
That can help you burst down dolly
spice mortar
I dont need help bursting down dolly, i need to get the bottle timings down
vital arrow
Both are not exclusive to each other
If you can burst it faster you dont need to time more bottles
You can even use gravel for the bottle spams
spice mortar
Not really, if this dumbass sheep decides to ult in range of eyja but just before sa range the run is doomed
Extra burst wont help there
vital arrow
It would
Becaus you can control the boss skill
And it doesnt deal a lot of damage
Unless your entire squad is in pink cloud
vital arrow
I mean this can even be fine tuned more with a 2nd sniper
That one leak was just a stray flying sheep with a sliver of hp
spice mortar
You leaked
spice mortar
Did you do anything top?
vital arrow
Did you do anything top?
dark glade
same my auto sucked on alt because i cant burst dolly 
and its a 6 min auto too on top of that
vernal lion
farm Manganese but it's SN-10 and SL-8
those boss stages cost fucking long ass time to be done
tropic valve
my SL-8 auto used to be unstable, but I cleaned it up by killing Dolly ASAP and it hasn't failed ever since
vernal lion
same
tropic valve
I use Exu + Schwarz for Dolly and Archetto for bottom (in the stable version, to be clear)
tropic valve
I suspect the instability comes from frame drops causing the Dolly DPS window to deviate
vernal lion
turns out a schwarz is not always all you need
boss with 150 hit counts and 75% dr belike:
tropic valve
and since the damage reduction from shield is huge, even one missed attack could lead to Dolly surviving
vernal lion
yea
mossy ore
boss with 150 hit counts and 75% dr belike:

boss with 150 hit counts and 75% dr belike:
my auto had like a 1/20 chance of not working
ive done it so much its made me redo it cause the time wastage annoyed me a little bit
latent monolith
I did pozy typewriter mlynar + 3x soda phase 1
typewriter exalt mlynar gg + 3x soda phase 2
guarantee kill > trust farm
I've changed my auto multiple times tho
timid schooner
me with chen2 + tposemiya s3 for phase 1
phase 2:throw everything like taxes s3,yato s2,then tposemiya s3
dolly when he sleep he will encounter a donki doing tpose as nightmare
tropic valve
you can also do schwarz solo + 3x soda (either phase): https://youtu.be/dHpiq2_mV6Y?t=454
but I don't recommend following what I did bottom lane here for autos because it's jank
vernal lion
Schwarz balling
tropic valve
manganese grinding time
dark glade
IS grinding time because this event mats shop sucks
timid schooner
dolly attacks more while floating
dolly add another stars on his shield
pick one u think its hard

I personally hate sceptre more
tall cairn
Sceptre, for good reason should have the lowest wr. Diamond is fine.
tepid sigil
Am now on confusion of is swalter mid or good
I picked her as early pick and not a single stage i felt disappointed
weak gazelle
have you count the relics you got along the way?
i feel kind of dissapointed tho about her so far
tepid sigil
Most of them buffed snipers so idk, none benefits swire besides that atk+ when blocking 1 enemy
weak gazelle
to me she is huge dp eater with minimum advantage to offer
compared to lee as a fellow merchant he is way better
her s2 gimmick and range really awkward
while s3 uhh.... i dont like it at all
just my opinion tho
tepid sigil
It's different in my case
Her s2 gimmick is cool and I'm really helped with that esp i barely bring other laneholder
weak gazelle
hmm
interesting
crisp bolt
s1 heal 
tepid sigil
Yeah her s1 is sorta good
ashen pewter
So i forgot i havent cleared H10-3 yet. And I was shocked this was possible with this placement of Mlynar and Chalter. lol Eyjaberry carried. Enemies rarely even go to Exalter and Kaltsit lane. And Lee baiting it the boss. lol. Well FRD here and there. But still I was shocked.
this is even my first try with this line up (well meta)

strat dalaos did aracea quit?

i dunno how to is i just picked meta units ( i still have like 20 hope remaining and the -2 hope 6* collectible)

Pozy ignores dodge so you should be fine
viral trout
i need help with placements
tropic valve
just make sure you don't leak

you see choke points you place mountain
tropic valve
Kroos on AU tile facing right, Skalter somewhere buffing her

ok fair enough

you see top box you place pozy

whats an au

kroos to the right
vernal lion
e1 mountain 
tropic valve
the AU of PAUSED
dark glade
vernal lion
it's so jover
dark glade
e1 mountain actually hold everything mid thats not the heavy defender
vernal lion
imagine leaking the drone
tropic valve
but you could have upgraded Mountain...
dark glade
instead of spec thats true
vernal lion
I think he has more issue about those mob spawn in mid box than the boss itself
peak cloak
well, dude has only 3 lives. 🤣
tropic valve
regardless just throw Texas at the Defenders
dark glade
regardless just throw Texas at everything
tropic valve
and if Mountain faints, block with someone else for a while
you got this
make sure you kill Lucian before the top left box
peak cloak

that top left box

rip my data

Good lord, what are those stats?

should be fine for Pozy

Raise or nah?
all up to you, i will bench her if i had no use.

so it didnt work out

Kay is okay anyways
vernal lion
you know it's roguelike after all

next time just write: is the x operator worth raising. keep salt on #salt-mines
tropic valve
next run will be better
vernal lion
next time, remember to E2 everyone before final boss fight
peak cloak
kinda out topic.
hey cirno, can your write me the sheriko mode you are using?
ivory nimbus
all up to you, i will bench her if i had no use.
I'd definitely raise her if Casterknight is my niche. That said, she'd be a good replacement for Amiya.
Casually ignoring the fact I forgot I have Eyja.
spark sinew
ceobe is a better solo caster than eyja in a lot of "events"
don't discount her for only caster knights or something
peak cloak
~~Casually ignoring the fact I forgot I have Eyja.~~
Eyja and Kay, they have different uses.
ivory nimbus
Kinda wish I got a Sniper tag to go along with Top Op instead. Exu, Schwarz, and Rosa, any of them would make a fine addition to my roster.

but exu 🚮 🤮

she is fine,people just have weird expectation of marksman against mid to high def
spark sinew
if anything we should talk shit about rosa and schwarz
although i can understand the distaste for p1 exu
cyan gorge
Exu is the exact same as she's been since launch besides module, she just has more competition and enemies are getting tankier
glass monolith
Oh no (place Warf), enemy is tankeir (Place Stainless S1), what i am gonna do? (Place Elysium and Shamare)
(Replaces Exu with Kroos alter for ATK_scale crits)

Lazy players just want more one man armies than dare use utility or buffers
