strategy

[jovial nest]

this is basically the reason why

I consider the casters 2nd place

1st place goes to the skateboard duo

fuck them

[glass monolith]

Well i reached S-4. 3 elite enemies. Guess i will die

(This event elite enemies - Caster, Fellas, Copter, Fog spreading BS)

[spark sinew]

it's disgusting

[jovial nest]

not even close

they don't have their buddies

[glass monolith]

They take so long time to do anything you can Totter them all

[dark glade]

Only 3 spawn

[jovial nest]

they become truly bullshit once they start farting

[dark glade]

Surely they cant think of anything more evil

[jovial nest]

i dunno

S-4 CM feels evil

[glass monolith]

truly bullshit was conga line of 5 tornados at end

[foggy grove]

tornados meet doro's mines

[glass monolith]

Uh... What the fuck is S-4 opening

[tall cairn]

Fun.

[deft badger]

https://youtu.be/S6_z94jdIbw

[foggy grove]

i really should 90 doro

[jovial nest]

hmmmm

my pride doesn't make me want to give in and start using self sustaining laners again. Lemme try what I thought of first.

[spark sinew]

wow the skateboards hurt

why do they two shot my ely

[jovial nest]

its usually the clouds they make that really amplify it

[dark glade]

Everything hurt

[jovial nest]

oh

and yeah

[spark sinew]

it wasn't on the cloud

[tall cairn]

[jovial nest]

red version stats

[tall cairn]

What.

[dusky gorge]

Help jt8-3

[jovial nest]

i mean Ely isn't exactly pinnacle in taking hits

[spark sinew]

i just deployed him in the middle ignore the hp, it was texalter dmg

[dusky gorge]

I can't find a way to beat it

[tall cairn]

Gotta make your own def tile white.

[spark sinew]

i suppose he isn't, but still

[dark glade]

you need to touch event and ask in 1 week

Better than my e1 ponc

[tall cairn]

[jovial nest]

thats why i hate skateboard duos

[dark glade]

Anyway if you really want to clear, show ops

[jovial nest]

they're naturally in pink steam

[royal delta]

the redeploy on human shields fast redeploy units is the same as the cooldown on her dangerous skill

[dusky gorge]

I see I see

[tall cairn]

this event very cosy and chill.

[dusky gorge]

I just need build gravel

[royal delta]

no you don't need to build her

[flint falcon]

not really just throw them down and retreat

[dusky gorge]

Oh yeah sacrifice

[spark sinew]

i did tell the survey that it was too easy

[glass monolith]

Not same but like 16 seconds against 18 seconds, and if you don't place other units in formation in case of fucking up fast redeploy you won't have fun

[tall cairn]

Fr.

[dark glade]

Wow s 5 start is also fun

[dusky gorge]

What's the timing ques?

[dark glade]

Its so joever

[tall cairn]

Welcome.

[dark glade]

You have this event

[tall cairn]

🚮 btw Dolly almost 1 tapped my Eyja2 on cm.

[dark glade]

And there is kristen balls that can be blocked by gummy

[tall cairn]

Might be forced to either bring Mlynar or just have fun with fast redeploy targeting.

[glass monolith]

No timing really, just deploy as soon as ready, recall as soon as they set on fire (not during boss skill animation, it select burn targets after it)

[dark glade]

I dont think i can even mlynar this

2 lanes

[tall cairn]

Oh no Mlynar is just used to dps the boss.

[glass monolith]

S-5 has boss?

Who said it doesn't

[tall cairn]

You have 3 lanes to worry about.

[dark glade]

My popukar will solo big fella 💪

[tall cairn]

Tho right lane can be soloed by any self respecting self sustain unit.

[cosmic thicket]

how did you guys kill S-5 boss im probably gonna end up doing exu buff army again

[tall cairn]

Fountain stops pink clouds.

Mlynar Chalter Surtr'ed it.

[cosmic thicket]

not surprised

[tall cairn]

Yato with bottle to take care of the casters.

Monster right.

[cosmic thicket]

ill play the stage tmr but this is the squad im thinking of

[dark glade]

wait where is exu

[tall cairn]

wdym.

[cosmic thicket]

next to gravel and shamare

[dark glade]

is that april buff squad?

oh

ooh

[tall cairn]

bruh.

[spark sinew]

is there a low step for anni

[dark glade]

im staring at sheep caster for too long

[tall cairn]

Looks fine, Penance left side?

[cosmic thicket]

kal left penance right

[spark sinew]

maybe your brain doesn't perceive exu as existing before p4

[cosmic thicket]

im probably gonna abuse the killgate by stalling w/ myrtle

so i can focus boss phase 2 without dealing with casters and shit

[tall cairn]

That works.

Left side is all big guys so just keep in mind.

[cosmic thicket]

ye i looked up the enemy placements already

[tall cairn]

[spark sinew]

wow actually leaked on s-2
they do love their "gotcha" openings huh

[dark glade]

arkrec doesnt have 3* only filter?

or does that mean it just doesnt exist for that stage

[spark sinew]

the latter

[cosmic thicket]

if it doesn't mention it there's no clear uploaded

[tall cairn]

Joever for 3* enjoyers.

[dark glade]

[spark sinew]

be the change you want to see

dobber is included with 3*

maybe you can do it

[cosmic thicket]

3* only barely cleared SL-8 I'd be impressed if dobermann squad could beat SL-EX-8 and SL-S-3/5

[tall cairn]

0 trust gaming.

[royal delta]

eyja alter + hoshiguma + mage support to kill the bigfellas, exe alter (think mountain would work) on the right, exusai + mlynar + yato deployments to deal with the mages/dolly

[dark glade]

shu created new acc too

he is having fun

[tall cairn]

......until.

[dark glade]

until he doesnt sleep and clear sl-4 instead

[strange hazel]

SL-EX-8 seems like it might be doable with similar tactics as SL-8, if it weren't for the annoying flying enemies and sheep tornadoes mandating FRDs

[tall cairn]

e1 60 4* ops cleared that stage.

trust it's ez.

[strange hazel]

yeah but i assume gravel/jaye/deepcolor are among them

[royal delta]

SL-EX-8 is just about setting up that small square area as a killbox and making sure dolly uses the line attack in the healers

[strange hazel]

may is also anti-flying enemy

[tall cairn]

imma see if I can find it.

[strange hazel]

3*'s got no fast redeploy bait

unless you use yato but yato's redeployment time isn't that good

[dark glade]

i dont think there are any 3* only sl ex 8 either

[strange hazel]

you also have no burst damage for the tornadoes either

[dark glade]

only 4*

[strange hazel]

pretty sure e1 60 pinecone could kill tornadoes before they explode with 2-3 s1 activations

[cosmic thicket]

yeah CN had u official which would be huge for 3* rn

[tall cairn]

here.

[cosmic thicket]

114 beat EX-8??

man

im bad at the video game

[strange hazel]

actually this is insane

it took me forever to clear it with e2's

how am i this bad

[tall cairn]

[strange hazel]

also had to drag out deepcolor's mod to bait basically every dolly skill

[void terrace]

Damn. Aak pennance carried the top lane

Ceobe is surprisingly good at dealing with the tornados and tanks too

[glass monolith]

Tornado has 0 hp to begin with

[void terrace]

Yeah

Specters placement here just made sure everything rammed into her if it got past

Mulesye actually has so much value for being able to generate walls of expendable clones

A ranged clone is effectively 3 block

And can bait everything from the stupid casters to dolly's fire breath

[strange hazel]

beanstalk sobbing in the corner

[void terrace]

Muleseyse is pretty underrated for slot efficency

[void terrace]

Lmao

[dark glade]

man i really miss having dp

[glass monolith]

Well done with S-4. S-4 CM can't be that much harder, right?

[jovial nest]

Hmmmm

I got a solution that's pretty solid now based on the screenshots. Not changing the squad. Just the placement

i wonder though if it'll weaken my left lane too much

[void terrace]

Ooh that's cm

[jovial nest]

you won't know the difference

[glass monolith]

OH FUCK WHY THERE IS CASTER NOW

[jovial nest]

until you do it yourself

the difference is HUGE

welcome to CM, Minus

[void terrace]

Lmao

Yalter deletes them

[jovial nest]

not just that

[dark glade]

[jovial nest]

it's how the top right is more annoying now

that's the biggest annoyance

[void terrace]

You can open with Ines yalter. Or mule ranged clone facing down

Ines opening fast in the intersection square to delete the tornado is great

[glass monolith]

Well i resolved caster issue. I have issue of HOW MUCH TRASH GOES LEFT AGAIN?

I need literally 1.5 operator to hold right, i can't hold left

[spark sinew]

done first three stages and they're kinda...easy

hopefully s-4 isn't overhyped

[glass monolith]

S-4 CM is when fun starts

[tall cairn]

You’d be right. but honestly both s4 and 5 are also overhyped for our accs.

[glass monolith]

F it i bring Bagpipe support on S-4 CM because i can't DP in time

Skill issue

[spark sinew]

lol i bring bag + agents for s2

forgot how good canta felt

[tall cairn]

Indeed.

[spark sinew]

for smooth no brain clear of s4 it looks like you need ng

[glass monolith]

ok i give up i will rarity abuse S-4 CM too

too scuffed for me to no 6*

[spark sinew]

do no 4* instead

like boomers should

[glass monolith]

Wait... I lost to not having La Pluma module

[tall cairn]

Actly it’s just putting white smoke under your defenders.

[glass monolith]

11-6 module mission

[tall cairn]

Wait. Pluma gets to play in 11-6, and Greyy2 is 1-3?

Favouritism is real.

[spark sinew]

you can borrow my exalter

[glass monolith]

Nah fuck it seems Ines is only way on this shit

can't block 2 top right without spawn killing this board

sheep too thicc

Wait it has DR anyway...

[dark glade]

oh this cursed stanless reed strat works

but im not liking it

[spark sinew]

it was good in RA

idk why you would do it outside of it

[deft badger]

that stupid caster sheeps

[dark glade]

hauck look

where my i mage go

qb doing something

[gleaming lodge]

Are playing low steps in here now ?

[dark glade]

hauck want low step

for anni tho

[gleaming lodge]

Didn't know there was any EN lowsteps players

[spark sinew]

i mean, my eyja gets onetapped

[spark sinew]

is this s5

[tall cairn]

[dark glade]

s5 yes

[spark sinew]

it's super cursed

[dark glade]

anni is 6 step

[spark sinew]

they basically bring every AH

to buff glad

they even bring tex1

but for some reason it counts as 8 op

[tall cairn]

???

[dark glade]

isnt tex just pot simulator on something like this

[tall cairn]

How does that work.

[spark sinew]

i mean check the vid

[tall cairn]

Paste link. @dark glade

[spark sinew]

also how tf i cleared s4 on practice and then got skill issued 4 times in a row

[tall cairn]

💀

[spark sinew]

sure, yeah but i think like most? all ops are p6 on their clear

[tall cairn]

That’s why you never use practice tickets.

[dark glade]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1U14y1v7Fr

7 ops

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1dh4y1S7Do

8 ops

[spark sinew]

uncle is useless

[dark glade]

i havent even open the link

[spark sinew]

every single second some things are leaking

[tall cairn]

Uncle can’t block imagine.

Bad op.

[spark sinew]

like

why the hell would you need pot sim

on this

[tall cairn]

Why all maxed.

[spark sinew]

because it's cursed

[dark glade]

oh now i see what you mean

i skip the team

[spark sinew]

ok we replace uncle with a better blonde op

[dark glade]

[spark sinew]

i only know it because someone posted this in #help and i got curious about qb1

[tall cairn]

So is qb1 a good investment in your eyes.

[spark sinew]

was it ever

[dark glade]

i found uncle sl-5 homework

[spark sinew]

was leizi1 a good investment though

[dark glade]

need hummus

wtf

[spark sinew]

i mean technically it was

before module

[dark glade]

guide is so cursed nowadays

[tall cairn]

Eww Humus.

[tall cairn]

[glass monolith]

Least amount of rarity abuse I come up with to keep my sanity

[spark sinew]

ok, swapping uncle out worked like a charm

i always knew he was bad

[tall cairn]

Fun times.

[spark sinew]

least cryptic cm description istg

[tall cairn]

Just enter.

[spark sinew]

looks...fine

i told people not to skip ines

[dusky gorge]

ok so i tried jt8-3 a bunch

[spark sinew]

did they listen

[tall cairn]

Ines da bes.

[dusky gorge]

and whelp i get whiped out and can only make it to half health second phase

[spark sinew]

it looks like it's easier to not block

[deft badger]

took me 30 min to handle stupid caster sheeps...

dolly dies easy but those casters who split up and shoot all of the place broo xD

[spark sinew]

yep, way easier

[deft badger]

why didn't i think about using him xD

[spark sinew]

i can put leizi if you want

feel the power

[glass monolith]

Heh so not only my brain got focused on just Reaping that box

[dark glade]

my s5 clear froze

not like this

[spark sinew]

oh you didn't use exalter?

i thought you meant pass

[fringe jackal]

if you put him face down it's even easier

[spark sinew]

also i lost my manti on actual clear, but it clears fine

[harsh bolt]

Does anybody here have a p6 ling to borrow

[spark sinew]

noted
right side never was in any danger tbf

left got significantly easier when i stopped blocking

but it's an ines check ig you can use SA and pray they don't go to him

[jovial nest]

Hauc, this event is making me realize more and more that I'd rather boot out Skalter so I can add Chalter

the pacing of the S3 really helps get the other ops skills online

[spark sinew]

told you, skalter bad In your team anyhow

[jovial nest]

it takes a while for the old favorites of mine to slowly lose my favor

but i do realize how much she's not exactly carrying that hard to be worth a slot

with that said, my team is now devoid of both Casters and Supporters

[dark glade]

s-4 and s-5 actually not so bad

[jovial nest]

your emote says otherwise

[dark glade]

because i still dont know how to clear it on alt

[prime trellis]

how to beat SL-EX-8 CM

[deft badger]

last wave ofc has to be some kind of shenanigans

[tropic valve]

I recommend spawnkillling phase 1 Dolly so you don't have to deal with the special attacks

[glass monolith]

Step 1. Bait special attack far away, step 2. Ko-ko-da-yooooooo

[prime trellis]

ok

[tropic valve]

here's my setup (normal mode footage, but minimal adjustment required for CM): https://youtu.be/dHpiq2_mV6Y?t=1119

[prime trellis]

all I have is a Texas alter and borrowed mlynar

[glass monolith]

E0 max Gravel has enough HP to tank column skill attack, just add medic

[tropic valve]

hmm idk if Mlynar can do a spawnkill setup easily

[prime trellis]

I can’t kill second phase fast enough

[tropic valve]

but yeah, Gravel is a good bait for column attack

if you don't spawnkill

[prime trellis]

yeah I use gravel and yato for the

[round yew]

I used something like this
always bait the column attacks

[prime trellis]

Cloud bomber sheps

[prime trellis]

just use surtr!?!

[round yew]

e1

[tropic valve]

generally people use E2 Surtr when they say just use Surtr

although, Surtr S2 is a decent skill fr

[prime trellis]

Just use Texas alter

[round yew]

She just goes well with reedic's shred I suppose

Or texalt

[prime trellis]

Should I use S2 Texas alt for this

I’m mainly using her for dmg on dolly

[tropic valve]

S2 is more damage, S3 is better for the fliers, so it's a tradeoff

I guess if bursting Dolly is the struggle then that makes sense

[prime trellis]

Mlynar kills them just fine

Texas alt is more of a safety net if I really really fucked up with timing

[spark sinew]

wow

[tall cairn]

For Anni?

Erato showcase.

[spark sinew]

wait what was the trim medal again

was it at least 5 bottles for anni, or no more than 5

[jovial nest]

do more

it's not limiting you at all

spam it as much as you want

and iirc its not 5?

[dark glade]

or something

[tall cairn]

It’s at least 8 iirc.

[spark sinew]

oh it had red caster sheep

why did they do 0 damage though
white steam op ig could swear i had it on the previous stages as well

whatever, i'm not complaining

[dark glade]

I am done

[tall cairn]

On your alt?

[dark glade]

Both

[spark sinew]

did you actually clear s-5 on alt

[dark glade]

[spark sinew]

wtf

[tall cairn]

Pro.

[dark glade]

No not clear

By done i mean i just gave up

[tall cairn]

oh.

[dark glade]

Will report back in 7 days if i even want to attempt it

o7

[tall cairn]

o7.

[spark sinew]

someone clear s5 on my acc, it's too trash

[tall cairn]

trash fr 10 day old acc.

[dark glade]

The afk works just throw tex2 to fix leak because your ops is not p6

[spark sinew]

didn't look the guides yet

[deft badger]

come if i did u can do it at least on main..

[tall cairn]

You just used afk guide tf.

[dark glade]

Its not my fault

[spark sinew]

what, where?

[dark glade]

It has qb in it

[spark sinew]

anni?

anni doesn't count 🛌

[dark glade]

Anni doesnt count true

[spark sinew]

the difficulty on anni is trash tier

[dark glade]

Shit gamemode 🚮

[spark sinew]

and repeating it because HG put some gotcha on the last wave is boring

[dark glade]

Maybe help was right

I need to e2 myrtle

and build tr2 1 week in

[spark sinew]

event will rerun

[round yew]

as in, it's easy?

[tall cairn]

Yes.

[spark sinew]

yeah
on any anni

[dark glade]

Any anni

[spark sinew]

they basically keep the same power tier between rotating ones well, they try

[dark glade]

You are forced to sit for 350 kill just for hg to throw random boss at you

[spark sinew]

so it's just a chore

[void terrace]

I feel this

[spark sinew]

join the afk guide train for annis

[void terrace]

Goddam trolled by Manfred on that shit easy map

[tall cairn]

Indeed.

Afk guide anni.

And nothing else.

[dark glade]

Guide when 3 6★
https://youtu.be/69qa9oulYwg?si=kwc2sC6SDTCdgkfN

[tall cairn]

Easy stage.

Also p sure Reedic can play the part of both Eyja and Mlynar.haven’t watched.

[dark glade]

Ye my clear use reedic

But you still need good defender to tank caster bolt and 2 skateboard

Not spot with 56% trust

[tall cairn]

Yikes.

Died even with white tile under caster and white tile on Spot?

[spark sinew]

wild how eyja3 makes it into the guide

[dark glade]

I still cant find a way to safely pop soda in the opening

Maybe if i randomly pull canta

[tall cairn]

Real no Ines moment.

[spark sinew]

not sure if it's a good idea to pop soda fast

[deft badger]

stop talking bed about eyja she good 🙂

[spark sinew]

do you need reedic or exalter zee

i need to take one out

[dark glade]

Keep reedic

I have a good run with exalter

[spark sinew]

in 2021

[tall cairn]

Smh hauck eyja is good.

[spark sinew]

i mean i do use "worse" casters but i won't go around shilling them

[tall cairn]

Great bench warmer.

[spark sinew]

powercrept even in office

[tall cairn]

Ouch.

Anyways I think guides just use ops that they think the general player base has.

[spark sinew]

definitely

although i wonder if they should switch eyja out

maybe not yet

cause kernel locked and not in recruit

[tall cairn]

Gotta make sure everyone has the normal stuff, and then they take support Mlynar.

[spark sinew]

so for actual new players it's like...good luck

[tall cairn]

oh right kernel.

Just cope that new players aren’t supposed to be doing S stages anyways.

[spark sinew]

kal is replaced by an exalter psure
in the guide
but again, en might've skipped

[dark glade]

But CW ex stage is easy

[tall cairn]

What’s CW.

[dark glade]

Balls

[spark sinew]

the guide looks like for boomer old players anyway

kal eyja

very boomer "good" units

[tall cairn]

Kal is still “good”.

[spark sinew]

hyped back in the day so people pulled

[tall cairn]

Eyja won’t bother shilling.

[dark glade]

I will eat anything Eckogen cook at this point

[spark sinew]

... let's leave it at that

now you summoned him

[tall cairn]

[dark glade]

Is that enough summoning ritual

[spark sinew]

yes

[tall cairn]

Is he like the Sasquatch or sum.

[deep prairie]

Why does it sound like she is falling off? should i change my plans abt buying her for 180?

[spark sinew]

you can also say "еско" but using latin alphabet and it also works

[tall cairn]

[deep prairie]

Or am too sleep deprived to understand convo

Most likely latter, off i go

[spark sinew]

eh she's good
although in the guide above for example you can replace her with 1 deploy slot i think

a lot more alternatives existing basically
if you don't have her

sleeping is good yeah

[deep prairie]

Well, no true damage yet on my acc

[spark sinew]

for the majority of stages i would rather use s2

[deep prairie]

I am just sitting at 300 certs with my hoarding syndrom not seeing good options

[spark sinew]

and if you really needed true damage for like a boss you could borrow

[deep prairie]

Oh true

[tall cairn]

Indeed.

[spark sinew]

38 pulls for 258 certs is an option (because honestly kal might not be coming for awhile)

[dark glade]

Hmm maybe i put spot too far forward

[deep prairie]

Well, i will wait ig

[dark glade]

But hes not in reedic aoe if i put like in the guide

[deep prairie]

Will spend 258 if i see something i want no matter what

[dark glade]

Why am i thinking about it anyway

[spark sinew]

already did 351?

[lapis hornet]

okay if you rly need unit xyz for like a boss you could always borrow

[dark glade]

My base?

[spark sinew]

idk i wouldn't bother with s stages that early

[dark glade]

Its cursed

351

[lapis hornet]

there ya go no need to pull anyone's

[dark glade]

But i have tr1

Because it trigger me to have empty building

[tall cairn]

Trying to get s stages early is like free stam loss.

[dark glade]

You can judge me however you want

[tall cairn]

Just go 252 ML at this point.

[spark sinew]

i judge you for not having office3

like the people in here and help do

is that good

[tall cairn]

cries.

[spark sinew]

without workers it's just a waste

[dark glade]

You know if you said that 24h ago i might buy it

Because i 'need' texas for the drone

[tall cairn]

Maybe.

[tall cairn]

Btw Tex is RR.

[dark glade]

Rather than malding mlynar skill cycle

[spark sinew]

max left has rr1 btw

[tall cairn]

Not office.

So.

[dark glade]

Yea max office max rr

[spark sinew]

15 slot has rr2

[dark glade]

Become max right

[spark sinew]

but you need prov

[tall cairn]

Just max RR.

[dark glade]

[tall cairn]

Office not required for Tex.

[spark sinew]

becoming max right willingly wtf

[dark glade]

gaslighted by help

[tall cairn]

Walking into the scam.

[dark glade]

Its funny yesterday someone ask for beginner tips

Then someone just show 252 diagram

[spark sinew]

quite a difference between "needing" true damage op, which is already a niche situation

and between this strawman or whatever this is

[dark glade]

i hope he didnt see exodia

[tall cairn]

exodia is a scam.

[dark glade]

Kukki streaming soon

Time to

[tall cairn]

he’ll solve your problems.

[spark sinew]

how's your acc looking actually

[tall cairn]

He has gg Chalter Archetto.

[spark sinew]

cause honestly I'm curious how tf you even cleared ex

[tall cairn]

Yes. Chalter.

[spark sinew]

or wait, probably just more stacked than i thought

yeah it's stacked

maxed yato

[tall cairn]

Holy shit.

[tall cairn]

btw aren’t you the one with the defective Yato.

[west kraken]

Hey guys, whats a good idea/operators to kill the 2 ranged sheep? They kinda cause most stratagies to fall apart midway

[spark sinew]

i used like 20 red permits to get a copy so i have p3

[tall cairn]

Do you have Yato2?

[west kraken]

Yeah.

[tall cairn]

Bottle and Yato2 S3 clears the sheep.

[west kraken]

S3?

[tall cairn]

Ye.

[west kraken]

I never really used s3 lol

So where do you put the bottle

Like dont the sheep take reduced dmg in mist

You finish them 1 at a time right

[spark sinew]

the better skill

[tall cairn]

Put bottle first tile right down from red box.

And then use Yato from right side, it’ll go across the block.

[spark sinew]

if you put bottle before the sheeps, yato seem to do the damage as if sheeps were in white smoke

[tall cairn]

Assumes bottle explodes before s3 dmg hits the sheep.

[west kraken]

Im dumb idk

Does S3 deal fixed dmg?

[tall cairn]

Place bottle right not left, Myrtle is in the spot you wanna place Yato.

[spark sinew]

s3 deals janky damage

something something seeking frames

[tall cairn]

Some tile shenanigans.

[spark sinew]

but it also scales with area covered

this part specifically

is not always consistent

[dark glade]

chalter e2 was today before ex

EX is a breeze because i dont need to auto

[spark sinew]

ok, quite better than i thought

[dark glade]

GG opeener mostly work fine

and just mlynar borrow ex8

not on S stage

If ur wondering why frostleaf is not e1, mountain ate the chip and i never farm again

[spark sinew]

huh this doesn't kill left sheep

but i also have gg so i wasn't punished

i think with better timing you can

[dark glade]

Is that invisible yato

[spark sinew]

@west krakenyou need the bottle between yato and sheeps

pause deploy

[peak cloak]

pause deploy

[spark sinew]

i never used it until it was taken away

but damn it feels nice

[tall cairn]

Never learnt.

[dark glade]

Jsut drag then press escape

[tall cairn]

Ik.

Lazy.

[dark glade]

this will make you a better IS player trust

[spark sinew]

what's a good op for left side actually

big man is annoing

[west kraken]

So the main purpose is to have Yato bottle break for Texalter to come in?

[dark glade]

Gg suzu

[spark sinew]

yato should kill them

[dark glade]

I borrowed the afk strats

They deal enough dmg to kill

[west kraken]

Im super confused how to use Yatoalter to kill the sheep

[dark glade]

alternatively myrtle durnar but thats cursed

[spark sinew]

i think in your clear sheep went out of yato s3 hitbox

[dark glade]

You know what

Kalsit

[spark sinew]

i do have

s2m3 myrtle

is this time

no durnar tho i have czerny

[dark glade]

Actually using ops you e2

Aintnoway

[spark sinew]

💪

does boss do a circle

he doesn't go into blue that fast, right

ok i have a slower

[dark glade]

He cycle once

And thank god for that

[spark sinew]

opening is kinda rough

time to go flagpipe

instead of thinking

[dark glade]

Me when i borrow ines

[west kraken]

Ok I got it

Qn: does Yato2 always do that 5 range attack or only if theres an enemy on the 3rd tile?

[karmic glade]

Just noticed, these fake anni actually have natural DP regen, but really slow

[spark sinew]

it's complicated

[spark sinew]

see this

basically because her attacks are not always consistent, range can also vary

[west kraken]

Does walls count as a tile?

[tall cairn]

Likely needs the third tile.

[spark sinew]

but you only need 3 tiles anyway

[west kraken]

Ic so minimum 3 tiles

I usually use S2

[spark sinew]

now for my magic trick

[tall cairn]

[spark sinew]

i will make those sheeps disappear

[west kraken]

Thanks for the tech

[dark glade]

Peak 0 sanity moment

[tall cairn]

Welcome.

[west kraken]

I always thought range was always 2

Turns out its a 3

[dark glade]

Its a weird

If you havent, try it on collosal sized boss (bear or sn-8)

[spark sinew]

it caps at 5

[tall cairn]

Also S3 dmg will always go through, won’t die like when using S2.

[west kraken]

I mean those were more obvious than this particular case

[dark glade]

We all just hate sheep now

[tall cairn]

Seems to me like when it sees an enemy on the tile, then another tile it’ll extend.

[tall cairn]

I love the sheep.

[spark sinew]

btw greyy2 works really well on toplane

why do i unironically use him over chalter now, wtf

[dark glade]

Which one is toplane

[spark sinew]

left side

he's at the very top

so uhh

[tall cairn]

Ah slows the big guys right.

[spark sinew]

don't mind gg, she's a freeloader surely

[tall cairn]

surly.

[dark glade]

I thought greyy is so shit when i play is3 because his s2 change to arts

But we also have this event

[spark sinew]

honestly s2 is kinda meh

[tall cairn]

Gonna use S1 Greyy in is4?

[spark sinew]

definitely way worse if you can buff him
it has usage in regular content anyway

idk if i want to m6...

he's already mod2 maxed and defective cause no pots

[tall cairn]

Damn sniper pots.

[tropic valve]

fun S stages

[tall cairn]

Most of it was just FRD bottle abuse.

but fun yeah.

[karmic glade]

this is such a good chalter spot

[tall cairn]

It is.

[radiant quartz]

Is SL-S-5 doable with this set of ops? I’m not quite sure if I can do it honestly

[peak cloak]

"just use your brain" Kyostin probably

[merry narwhal]

try using more 6* you got this

[radiant quartz]

my brain is dumb dumb :(
i usually go Mlynar Kralter combo to beat Dolly but whoo boi

Too many pink steam and so my ops die easily from the attacks-

[tall cairn]

Casters should be your problem right. Try this strat.

Takes care of the problem quick and ez.

It’s towards the end. @radiant quartz

[fringe jackal]

I've wasted more than 1.2 million LMD raising operators to clear these damned S stages...

[spark sinew]

that's less than one six star maxed

[dark glade]

Mountain can 'solo' right side apparently

I hape hope

:copium:

[foggy grove]

funi ethan

[tidal sedge]

Greyyter is such fun

[tall cairn]

I tried. It did not solo right side.

[dark glade]

Ive seen 2 greyalter today

Its 3 now

[tall cairn]

Oops should’ve canceled ping.

[dark glade]

It doesnt ping tho

[tall cairn]

Oh rly.

[dark glade]

Maybe because im in this ch anyway

[round yew]

need help in sl-s-3
I've tried using mlynar in these two positions facing left
problem is, during 2nd phase, one shots my defenders when he goes through them
am using bibeak for the flying sheep, the snipers can't even kill them

[tall cairn]

No I might’ve canceled ping subconsciously.

Because you can definitely get pinged in the same channel.

[dark glade]

Hmm should be fine

[tall cairn]

[round yew]

also, can mlynar deal 100% dolly's health with 1 skill? Assuming he's broken and on white tile

[dark glade]

Its strange that your defender get one tapped in p2

[tall cairn]

Does this ping you.

[dark glade]

No it doesnt

[tall cairn]

Oh damn.

Nice.

[spark sinew]

he soloes can confirm you need to explode the clouds before they reach him

[dark glade]

Idk new discord update that i dont even want maybe

[spark sinew]

exalter also does it easily

[tall cairn]

Oh maybe you cancelled pings?

[dark glade]

I definitely not

[tall cairn]

Try ping me.

[peak cloak]

@mortal forge have u tried that stage yet?

[dark glade]

Is this elem dmg problem? Have honeyberry?

[glass monolith]

May I offer more cursed Mlynar position?

[dark glade]

Try

[mortal forge]

Yeah, but I don't have Mlynar or Thorns or Suzu...

[tall cairn]

Yeah I got pinged.

[dark glade]

[peak cloak]

which part u are having issue? the boss?

dolly i meant

[dark violet]

first one was quite simple, I'll see how the rest goes later

[mortal forge]

Yeah, dealing enough damage while dealing with other enemies too

[peak cloak]

that's phase one i supposed?

[round yew]

do you guys finish phase one before he goes down the stairs?

[peak cloak]

did thing goes well after phase two?

[dark violet]

funny you say that, I'm also missing those ops

[dark glade]

Half hp usually

Cm condition sucks

I can perma stall normal but cm is speed

[radiant quartz]

yeah no im just too dum dum to handle SL-S-5, help-

[peak cloak]

so based on that, i think here are few issues:
black tornado sheeps?
dolly attacks your last deployed ops?
or?

[round yew]

I am also doing half
never thought his 2nd phase would be this annoying
might as well give up, it was a good run

[mortal forge]

I've just been trying different strategies right now.
It seems that this Dolly deals more damage than the previous ones
But I'm not entirely sure

[dark glade]

Time to look at his e2 mats

[glass monolith]

I think i did in that exact clear because i wanted to minimize amount of purple smoke i need to manage, but if you kill him as he return from ladder, somehow manage to survive last 15 enemies, then you could probably keep him in middle forever by doing enough damage to land him before he leave (He won't move while casting his global BS and you can stall that skill by making map have more pink in places where it doesn't hurt your ops

[peak cloak]

well, can u post the ops u have again?

[peak cloak]

[tropic valve]

Archetto on the right side can pop Dolly's shield right below spawn, where Dolly stands, and then Schwarz + Mlynar + a debuffer of your choice can finish him off; after that it's a lot more chill since Dolly will stop attacking you, and you have time to deal with the casters and the big guys

[peak cloak]

oh, it's cirno, hello

[spark sinew]

mind you mine is maxed

[tropic valve]

Dolly's phase 2 can be killed at a leisurely pace

[dark glade]

surely lvl 70 enough

[tall cairn]

E1?

[dark glade]

m1 too

[tall cairn]

Eh so quick.

[radiant quartz]

any subsitute for Archetto or Schwarz?

[dark glade]

I dont have the mats

In one week prob can

[tropic valve]

there isn't really a substitute for Archetto in this case since you need to reach far...maybe Totter?

you can use other nukes instead of Schwarz or Mlynar, as long as you meet the DPS check

Totter doesn't attack that fast though

alternatively you can use 3 bottles to break shield

which is harder to setup since it costs time + DP

[radiant quartz]

would Kroos Alter + Bottles be enough?

[tropic valve]

that might work yeah

[mortal forge]

Shield damage to dolly is per hit right?
So multi-hit skills like Hool S2 or Amiya S2 breaks shield faster?

[tropic valve]

it helps to assassinate the skateboards at the start so they don't paint everything pink (Specter can do it)

[radiant quartz]

I'll see what I can do for that particular issue

[jovial nest]

finally

practice plans replenished

time to do the new starts inspired by the guys here

[gleaming lodge]

You're welcome

[round yew]

my archetto auto attacks do 38 dmg to dolly per hit wtf

[spark sinew]

he has big dr

[round yew]

After breaking shield

[spark sinew]

so far both of the hard maps for me were solved by just not blocking

is dolly on pink cloud

[gleaming lodge]

How dare you not block

[round yew]

most likely not, but I'll check again
archetto is e1 lv70 here

[void terrace]

Fking finally

[tropic valve]

I agree, not blocking works well here

no need to worry about the whirlwinds

[void terrace]

Ceobe just destroyed the entire tanky sheep lane

Cycling eyja mylnar and ceobe initially just destroys the boss shield and takes out phase one by the first time dolly reaches left side of the map

[dark glade]

Its impossible to have dolly on pink cloud on s 3 tho

Your 3 dps all should be in fountain hitting him

[spark sinew]

who knows

[dark glade]

Its e1 cheeto

She sucks

[round yew]

yea, mlynar was in fountain

[spark sinew]

but yeah ig the more correct q is "is dolly on white tile"

[dark glade]

[spark sinew]

wow it's that bad with e1 archetto huh

[tropic valve]

yeah I don't expect E1 Archetto to be great here

[dark glade]

Dolly is still 800 def

[round yew]

I'll try swapping both marksmen for casters instead, since they aren't killing the flying stuff anyway

[fringe jackal]

@high warren what top lane?

for SL S S4 CM?

[dark glade]

A def e1 marksman fear

[tall cairn]

Drop melee carries, embrace ranged units.

[high warren]

Yeah

[fringe jackal]

executor alter solo carry pointing down

[spark sinew]

like S||mlynar||

[fringe jackal]

lemme see if I can find a vid for you spectre

[spark sinew]

hits air, big range

[high warren]

did you gave him white smoke btw

[tall cairn]

||frfr||

[high warren]

S3 ex alter I'm assuming

[fringe jackal]

yes and my friend's is modulated

white smoke underneath him

and when I can spare the soda, to the side of him

[spark sinew]

nvm

[high warren]

I used yato alter but can probably cope without her

[fringe jackal]

btw if something leaks executor alter can get pink smoke underneath him, which killed my runs

yato alter, the S3 skill is great for the opener

[high warren]

I can only have one of em
Or maybe I just cope with someone else on top right

[round yew]

Can dolly be slowed?

[dark glade]

Yes

Bind too

[fringe jackal]

kaltsit also works in the top right

you often see her used for that position

but in the vids I see kal is sometimes helped by yato alter

[round yew]

thank you everyone, I'll try again 30 more times before next reset

[fringe jackal]

and with executor you also have to time the skill quite a bit

[high warren]

There's only initial caster on bottom center or more comes?

[spark sinew]

kal can work on the left

[fringe jackal]

because if the mage shits come and you haven't killed the other unit there, it's leek time

[spark sinew]

i see kal reedic exalter trio

[tropic valve]

I also used Fedex for top right of SL-S-4, however I pulled the 2 initial sheep with Gladiia so they wouldn't leave pink clouds somewhere inconvenient

[fringe jackal]

reedic, if you have her, is extremely powerful

[dark glade]

[high warren]

Left can cope with ling maybe
Idh ant of kal/yato alter/exe alter

[fringe jackal]

I couldn't find a reedic friend so I couldn't use her

[foggy grove]

nah the rest comes from botttom right

[dark glade]

They can trio?

[spark sinew]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1w84y1Z7Hc

[spark sinew]

ling yato basically duo the map

although the clear i see is pot locked/need vangtexas

[dark glade]

thanks for pointing that i cant copy

[spark sinew]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1KG411f7H5?p=11

[high warren]

my Texas e0 prob not worth investment atm maybe later

[spark sinew]

not at all

[fringe jackal]

also is it just me
or if you get overwhelmed in the circled spots you literally just die in s5 because you get overrun by pink steam and don't have time to white steam it again

[spark sinew]

just improvise

i think with more ops you can just

[fringe jackal]

it's so over

[spark sinew]

i meant to this, just in case

[fringe jackal]

can anything hold the right position well other than mountain?

[spark sinew]

cause the initial yato deploy it to color the right side in white i think

[fringe jackal]

oh

[spark sinew]

exalter does it

[fringe jackal]

yeh

maybe I'll try exalter

[spark sinew]

he even does it one tile above

[fringe jackal]

but exalter or mountain both have to be borrows

[spark sinew]

through pink steam

[dark glade]

If hummus can any reaper can or should be

[spark sinew]

don't ask why i know

[fringe jackal]

ok

[peak cloak]

@mortal forge have u finished the stage yet? i just went outside for some minuts

[fringe jackal]

I'll try it

[spark sinew]

you should just deploy him on circled spot

[fringe jackal]

ok

[mortal forge]

Nah I gave up for now, I'm doing the SL-MO one currently

[fringe jackal]

[jovial nest]

Smooth as butter.

Thanks for telling me to use a self-sufficient ops

and i do have one

[spark sinew]

ew, AH

[jovial nest]

Guardians amirite

[spark sinew]

my FL is kinda cursed

[tall cairn]

[spark sinew]

paprika is just above

[tall cairn]

Nice FL.

[spark sinew]

my greyy2 looks like a metaslave pick in comparison

[tall cairn]

It is.

[jovial nest]

Thanks for the inspiration to the approach

Made me learn that if i just need a laner that can sustain themself. It doesn't have to be those solo guards

ok can someone share the most impressive clear of SL-S-4 CM?

[spark sinew]

jusan already having bad memory

sad

[jovial nest]

Hauc, one is practice

[tall cairn]

fr.

[jovial nest]

either way, I groaned when someone recommended me Kal or others.

[spark sinew]

there's 3 op clear ig
or e1 1

[polar crane]

I use horn for bottom right

[jovial nest]

damn, pls show

[tall cairn]

just used what I had.

[spark sinew]

which one

[jovial nest]

both

[spark sinew]

i assume e1 1

[polar crane]

6 months ago and I dont save screenshot

[spark sinew]

3 op

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1oj411B7xh/ e1 1
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1jN4y1d7XR different e1 1

lol even in e1 1 exalter is the one holding top right

[void terrace]

Damn I'm surprised how easily right is being held

[gleaming lodge]

Just go on arkrec ?

[void terrace]

I just watched the guides goddam mountain is holding it

[spark sinew]

jusan too old

need hand feeding

[gleaming lodge]

Not wrong

[spark sinew]

white steam is a hell of a drug

[tall cairn]

Steam op.

[jovial nest]

it's 3 ops but they need to use Texas for the extra DP

[void terrace]

https://youtu.be/_G40NpaiIhY?feature=shared

Damn

[void terrace]

Lmao

[jovial nest]

need those asterisks

[spark sinew]

isn't it just potsim

[jovial nest]

well, the placement wouldn't work if Texas is removed there. Even has Kal on max pot already

[spark sinew]

they waited until they have 2 dp though

on kal and reedic

[dark glade]

Oh i can resonate more to that than cursed mlynar only borrow

[void terrace]

Duuuuuuumb question but

Is dolly immune to freeze

[void terrace]

I forgot gnosis existed till I got a random recruit in is

[spark sinew]

they only used texas' dp on executor

[void terrace]

Multi target aoe fast attack

[spark sinew]

which is very much fair i feel

[jovial nest]

i mean it all comes down to...

if you remove Texas

will it still work?

[spark sinew]

on p6, yes

[dark glade]

This one is ok

[spark sinew]

same reason why some guardknights clear use wildmane as potsim

[dark glade]

The s5 afk one does not

[spark sinew]

low step clears use some wack rules

when listing ops, only deployed ones are mentioned

[jovial nest]

[spark sinew]

meanwhile they bring every AH and texas

to buff glad

while having everyone p6

[jovial nest]

the E1 1 is very impressive. I'm guessing there's no E1-only on Dolly maps?

even EX-8 CM had to use 4* max iirc

[spark sinew]

https://en.arkrec.com/

sl-s-5 is cleared with e1 1

didn't even need the last slot

[jovial nest]

lmao

well time to do S-5

[glass monolith]

Random bullshit go only?

[spark sinew]

see phantom?

see no yato

phantom> yato

[jovial nest]

just means they didn't need the more power

[spark sinew]

ehhh

[jovial nest]

hmmm

1 pot away for Ely p6

Hauc, who do you think is the best 5* borrow?

[dark glade]

Greyyalt

[spark sinew]

for who

[jovial nest]

general

[spark sinew]

depends on the current event i'd say
for some CC you can put blacknight or low level lisk s2

in general, maybe Canta

[jovial nest]

S2 or S1?

that i can provide

[spark sinew]

or put some "underrated" stuff that has utility

[jovial nest]

I was thinking if I would entertain the very thing i like most in borrowing which was Ely S1M3

[spark sinew]

canta s2> s1, but this is a reason to put s1

if less people have it raised

[spark sinew]

put kirara

i've been looking for it for some time

[jovial nest]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1123515168828178592.gif?quality=lossless&size=64

[spark sinew]

don't share the secret strats here

[jovial nest]

hush, meta slave

you know your greyyalt is very meta

when compared to your friend borrows

[spark sinew]

oh wait i don't even have you

yeah you don't need to put kirara

[jovial nest]

I wonder why

did you have a time where you were VERY absent in AK

[spark sinew]

because you didn't add me

[final ginkgo]

I seek help it’s the SL-S-5 and it’s cm I’m struggling with 😭 I’ve tried watching guides but they’re all with operators I either haven’t touched or don’t have , this is the page of ops I have levelled (+ Myrtle)

[spark sinew]

no room rn anyway

[gleaming lodge]

[weak gazelle]

this one is silly
cm just another ex-6 cm
guess i dont need to expect much in the first place for s maps

[gleaming lodge]

Is the event that hard ?

[spark sinew]

eyjalter+mly + chalter should be a good start

[final ginkgo]

I have no brain cells 🥲

[spark sinew]

i'm thinking of easy way to deal with the left

[latent monolith]

Depends on how well you can manage the mechanics

[spark sinew]

but you don't really have afk arts dealer

[latent monolith]

It's a 6 fold difference in damage

For both the enemies and allies

[final ginkgo]

🥲

Yeah that’s my main problem I think?

[latent monolith]

So if you play poorly the enemies are basically 36 times as dangerous stats-wise as in an ideal situation

[spark sinew]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1QG411Z7Yb/ disclaimer, i didn't watch

[gleaming lodge]

Fair enough

[spark sinew]

mly skalter ling trio

[final ginkgo]

Ooo

[spark sinew]

could probably adapt easily
add two redeploys, vanguard and a healer, if ling doesn't use all the slots in their vid

[final ginkgo]

Il watch it rn and let you know how it goes

[spark sinew]

oh yeah it's s1 skalter

[final ginkgo]

S1

[spark sinew]

well, left is being held by ling no problem it seems

[final ginkgo]

Max pot wowow

All of them

[spark sinew]

you can also do this to kill mage sheep (empty tile is yato s3, second image below)but frankly i couldn't do it consistently

plenty of options, but you do need to control the tiles/at least to control bottle cd

[gleaming lodge]

Dude stop it with the coebe stickers please

That's clogging up the chat like crazy

[final ginkgo]

Ahh ok I’ll delete them

[jovial nest]

well that was loads easier than S-4. But I guess S-4 inspired me to do the Saria+Reedic lane

[spark sinew]

interesting
