for anyone interested.

#

these are the maff calcs based on stream

dark violet
#

in dorothy we trust

jovial nest
#

10% shelter, +12% max HP, damn.

#

also if talent 1 is worded like that

tropic valve
#

what part of SL-S-4 is breaking?

jovial nest
#

Shu just needs to have an operator adjacent to her 4 directions

#

and she also gets Shelter

jovial nest
surreal star
#

she can also heal herself for grass

vernal lion
jovial nest
#

talent 1 cannot trigger on herself based on wording

tidal sedge
jovial nest
#

unless she is "allies" too

surreal star
#

iirc she planted on herself in the showcase

tropic valve
#

I and I think others too have been using Fedex for top right lane

jovial nest
#

ok so....

#

Naga

#

we've considered the tankiness of Saria with max Rhine Suit harges

dark violet
jovial nest
#

and her 15% DR on mod

#

how does it compare to Shu's Shelter buff + ModY DR

#

cause for Saria it's mostly just ATK/DEF improvements iirc

tidal sedge
dark violet
#

my start for 4 cm

vernal lion
dark violet
#

s2 in specific IS conditions

jovial nest
#

Shu wouldn't have the 30% DEF but she will have the 15% DR from Y and Shelter from her own talents

tidal sedge
#

ive been meaning to level dorothy anyway i suppose

jovial nest
#

that makes her worse for physical (compared to Saria) but better for other damage types?

#

or am i missing some other maffs?

dark violet
#

once you taste dorothy gaming, you can't go back

vernal lion
#

if the physical dmg is not too high, it will be fine to tank

#

we have RA boss with 4k atk iirc

dark violet
#

tactical mine drops map wide is just too neuron activating

jovial nest
#

if a physical damage can kill Saria, it's usually why I'm considering my Boss Duelist role (Hoed/Gladiia+Spelter)

vernal lion
tidal sedge
dark violet
#

hopefully it works for you SpecterPray

tidal sedge
#

which is why im concerned about dorthy who also needs dp to make use of the mines

dark violet
#

for 4 I used 2 vanguards yeah

flint falcon
#

my mumu would love a dorothy

tidal sedge
#

even with 2 vanagurds its not fast enough, i would flagpipe IF i had bagpipe

turbid badge
vernal lion
tidal sedge
dark violet
# dark violet my start for 4 cm

the order I did here was dropping texas first, then dorothy, she can take 2 hits from wizard sheep, meanwhile you get enough dp to place flametail and bottle can for texas. Finally placing the medic, they're all in white fog and have mines ready to stop the onslaught

vernal lion
surreal star
tidal sedge
dark violet
#

the trick to using dorothy is that the cost of her mines reimburses itself by slowing down the enemies, so you get more time back (and dp) from one 3 dp cost mine

jovial nest
#

i'm shaking....am i seeing Shu module be DR 15% AND Shelter talent improvements?

#

or am i coping?

flint falcon
surreal star
dark violet
jovial nest
#

FUCK

sly drift
surreal star
#

new defender in cn

tidal sedge
dark violet
#

specter alter

tidal sedge
#

ik

#

but im just confused how on earth you get the clouds white with that

dark violet
ancient hearth
vernal lion
#

modX has 15% more heal when op is 50% hp lower

jovial nest
#

it is

#

sih

#

at least ModY hits the max HP talent at least

#

and ASPD too

tidal sedge
dark violet
#

her s3 is aoe hit

#

also that's where dorothy helps too

#

you place mines to hit the bottles

#

from the tornado spawns

tidal sedge
#

hmm

ancient hearth
#

melee ops can hit bottles on high ground within range

dark violet
#

not when blocking, unless aoe

vernal lion
#

to anyone wondering, S-4 has Ifrit lane

tidal sedge
tidal sedge
dark violet
# dark violet you place mines to hit the bottles

the best way to guarantee a bottle break is to have 1 mine aiming, another one 2 tiles away, so when tornado triggers the first and the second one kills tornado, you can place the mine just before the sheep spawns, hitting the bottle again

#

(that's only if you can only have 1 mine targetting the bottle, standard is just spamming mines around it)

jovial nest
#

Oh, so S3 has some great use outside of just undoing leaks.

#

and it's not a bad buff

#

especially if it includes her conditional talent that adds more ASPD too

#

I might go back to Hoed because of this. Sure, he might not get the Shelter improvements. But the Max HP and more ASPD is huge already

dark violet
#

mmh, that's good

#

but I think I'll keep using skalter instead

#

true damage go brr

jovial nest
#

i see

#

so far there has been so many dangerous arts damaging going so I really like the max HP stuff helping ranged and melee ops survive the harass

dark violet
#

yeah that's fair

#

I usually power through with perfumer s2

jovial nest
#

now i just have to make up my mind if it's worth kicking out Saria's S3 slow/arts debuff field over Shu's buff sharing

jovial nest
#

shit I forgot that with Hoed I can give anyone on his cardinal directions a Shelter too (although only one).
So the consideration now to Shu is the max HP on seed range and the Shelter she gives to ranged ops on seed range.
Also Shu giving out more Shelter if it's a trilane

dark violet
#

no news about her base skills? copium

jovial nest
#

do her seeds hit ranged tiles?

quick pecan
#

i would assume so since it just says four tiles around her / who she heals

jovial nest
#

4 tiles around the seeds btw

#

hmmm

surreal star
#

kal got seeds iirc

#

i remember ling ceobe getting them too actually

jovial nest
#

Shu's S3 can be used more generally as well

#

its annoying that Shelter only considers the strongest effect

#

but the max HP from talent sounds worth it alone

#

I guess what i have to consider is how much do I need Saria's S3

#

i did add Chalter so there's at least an option for me to slow stuff down. But it doesn't slow flying ones

dark violet
#

I keep reading shelter as skalter

#

guardians as a whole are a pretty foreign tactic for me, since they like to bunch up, while I have a very spread out squad

jovial nest
#

i mean

#

I can treat them as self-sustaining laners too

#

especially since they're damage ain't all that bad

#

Especially Saria's talent buffing it up nicely

#

like so

#

I like the flexibility

#

and since i use 2 FRDs, 1 redep, and 1 semi-FRD anyways

#

That lane will be helped once she's blocking 3

dark violet
#

I use 2 fast redeploys

#

skadi and ntr s2 SkadiDaijoubu

trail gulch
#

How do I can beat sl-s-3, because it is too difficult / hard for me

dark violet
#

my heart cries whenever I see gladiia not e2

vernal lion
#

it's funny that you have good raised op but don't know how to beat it correctly

jovial nest
#

i mean

#

it's one thing to recommend who to raise

#

it's another on how to learn how to use em

trail gulch
jovial nest
#

i still love that each screenshot i see of maps completed shows very different approaches

trail gulch
trail gulch
#

I don't know the difference between normal and cm at that stage

dark glade
#

Ash and texas should cover the hovering stuff

#

If you borrow mlynar, mlynar gg exu skalter should be enough dps too

#

Wont be a straightforward clear like the guide but doable

jovial nest
#

S-3 CM increases movement speed of enemies

#

usually considered as one of the worst CM conditions

#

and i think this is especially rough against Dolly if you lack damage and CC

dark glade
#

Its funny because it just one straight lane with speeding drones RedOmegaLul

jovial nest
#

S-3 at least has a map that's easier to defend

#

compared to S-5

trail gulch
dark glade
#

Texas and ash job is to stun

#

(covering mlynar swing downtime)

#

You will know when its cm the drone is pain BlitzSmile

trail gulch
dark glade
#

No not dolly

#

Gg and exu multihit should knock dolly down with ease

#

Ash can help too

#

Aslong all of them are in fountain

trail gulch
#

the most annoying thing was when the dolly exploded after being defeated, it kill almost all my operators NotLikeIfrit

jovial nest
#

the thing you have to consider is

#

bottle steam hitting Dolly is an immediate star kill

dark glade
#

But you have eyja that shouldnt be a problem, especially with mlymar ReedBean

jovial nest
#

no luck or damage check involved

#

no matter how tanky those shields are

#

3 bottles of boom

#

Dolly goes down

#

thats why you want to pace those bottles

trail gulch
dark glade
#

Wait i mean eyja the healer for explosion

#

And dont forget to change pink tile to white too this shoudnt be a problem with mlynar taunt

vernal lion
#

ok I finally found a good semi afk for this

trail gulch
vernal lion
dark glade
#

Dolly doesnt explode

vernal lion
#

have you even read the boss info lol

#

the explode is when the boss revive from the weaken phase

trail gulch
# vernal lion

damn, I have to bonk her with eyja and SA before she came closers to all my operators

vernal lion
#

so if there are no pink cloud, boss will end the skill sooner

jovial nest
#

Dolly explodes all the pink clouds per row

#

in a sweeping motion

#

right to left

trail gulch
jovial nest
#

she explodes it globally

#

if there's pink steam, it's exploding

trail gulch
#

ok, i will give soda to dolly when she get low hp

vernal lion
#

I think the boss gender is male

trail gulch
vernal lion
#

well yea, but no

dark glade
#

the descriptio say him

jovial nest
#

he's a he

trail gulch
jovial nest
#

look at the Mission list description

#

Dolly's a he

trail gulch
#

why pink is trap NotLikeIfrit

jovial nest
#

true men wear pink

#

also i think the concept is just....cotton candy for wool

#

and cotton candy is pink color default

#

heh

vernal lion
#

who doesn't love a cotton candy with a pink color

foggy grove
#

i might dislike pink with this event

vernal lion
#

this event mechanism is like Who is Real but more cancer

vocal leaf
#

in 3 hours will be m3, gotta try again once it’s done

#

just took 1 year to be m9 RedOmegaLul

jovial nest
#

also WR has EXPLODING guys

#

damage is far more annoying

vernal lion
#

Envy iirc

jovial nest
#

but pink steam does do burn ele dmg

vernal lion
#

yes, the "can't shut the mouth" that can switch yin/yang

south bone
#

Guh i'm still stuck in s-3

vernal lion
#

but it only appear in few stages tho

quick pecan
#

@lilac silo should i buy asbestos or cope

#

feel like i wouldn’t really use her over a fortress

the anti air only really matters for defenderknights not 5* knights

jovial nest
#

Does Ya2 S3 apply the Talent 1?

#

or is her spin not considered an "attack"

vernal lion
jovial nest
#

ok damn....

#

so in other words

#

I WANT YA2'S 2ND MODULE NOW

vernal lion
#

it's weird that her s3 is absolutely better for RA farm

jovial nest
#

not just cause of talent 1

#

but mod1 effect is better for offense

#

more DP expensive overall, but the better dmg improvements from mod1 talent of the other module makes up for that

turbid badge
vernal lion
#

her mod refunds 80% of the cost tho

jovial nest
#

i don't care bout it too much

turbid badge
#

its so good in Is

jovial nest
#

i mean

#

if you've gotten Ya2 already in IS

turbid badge
#

normal content it doesn’t matter that much sure

jovial nest
#

you should've solved the DP issues long ago

turbid badge
#

why

jovial nest
#

cause she ain't even 1st spec voucher recruit

#

not for me

turbid badge
#

she is tho

jovial nest
#

I prefer Tex2

#

first

turbid badge
#

she ignores most rejections and i can start with kroosterReedBean

jovial nest
#

krooster has always been the solid start

turbid badge
#

but i start with the 4* duo mostly

vernal lion
#

I don't quitely like the current Texas mod

turbid badge
#

it feels the best

#

stablest for me

quick pecan
#

ngl i feel like krooster has been largely overrated for is3

#

that’s probably a hot take

turbid badge
#

fair but her total dps is pretty stonks still honestly but than again shes a marksmen so you won’t bring her to everything

vernal lion
#

sniper with rng stun, with crit dmg, and hit fast enough

dark glade
#

She is still a marksman afterall

quick pecan
#

i mean isn’t she most important for highmore and the floaters

dark glade
#

Nah it because maid exist

#

Solving floor 4 is easier with other ops

quick pecan
#

i mean i texalter start maybe that’s why

turbid badge
#

wtf texas startExuHyperStare

#

angle my texas m2 no mod

dark glade
#

You cant always do 6★ start thats why krooster become popular

turbid badge
dark glade
#

And krooster handle floor 1-2 well

south bone
#

i mean texalter is limited and kroos is free

quick pecan
#

what d are we discussing

dark glade
#

Instead of leaking 2 on maid

#

Krooster is mostly d15 mom start

south bone
#

Interesting ReedBean

turbid badge
#

dunno but i always assume d7+

dark glade
#

Yea and i assume d7+ too

vernal lion
#

I always pick RNG squad

quick pecan
#

huh

turbid badge
#

thats why i invest into 4*

quick pecan
#

if the assumption is high difficulty is3 why do people recc her generally in #help and then mention is3

turbid badge
#

shes great low difficulty too

south bone
#

isn't #help mostly for newbie

#

idk

turbid badge
#

how they recc her when u cant get her thi

jovial nest
#

i mean

dark glade
#

Because good in high diff mean better in low diff? ReedBean

quick pecan
jovial nest
#

Krooster is just generally a good op

#

really strong for IS3

#

as a 5* starter

vernal lion
#

it's simple reason 'cause stun is like 99% needed for is3

quick pecan
#

hmm ig it’s fair if no texalt

jovial nest
#

you'll see decline of use of her in IS4

#

every IS a different meta

#

i like it

turbid badge
#

its just ez stun , people can also just buy erato for drifter or mutua aid but thats all shes for while with mom krooster can actually start shredding

jovial nest
dark glade
#

it will degenerate into only degen start

vernal lion
#

IS4 is more about burst dmg

jovial nest
#

Ember Phalanx is too rough that i don't want Texalt dropping them near my blue box

quick pecan
#

oh ye

#

that’s fair

#

but tbh

#

i would only agree on d7+

#

if you are lower difficult the leaking will matter less

jovial nest
#

also are you really living up to chance that you can 6* Tex2 in time for Drifters?

#

I've gotten runs where it's near the end and Tex2 is E1

turbid badge
#

but pretty sure d0 texas feels amazing lol

quick pecan
#

i guess more context is needed

#

i do specialist squad start explodedank

turbid badge
#

shu meta for is4 2nd boss

#

or just raise ur qani

vernal lion
#

real

quick pecan
#

anyway my point is more that krooster doesn’t live up to the hype ppl made me think she was

at least in is3. that is no doubt influenced by texalt and specialist squad start but idk maybe i just saw too much parroting of her being a god and irreplaceable.

vernal lion
#

because it is

jovial nest
#

iirc

crystal cargo
#

hool ankles broken

jovial nest
#

the goddamn DP inflation mod is very early

quick pecan
#

i can see her mattering more if you have less stun options and go higher d where arts just dies

jovial nest
#

by then you can't just bring a 6* every run

vernal lion
#

yea, in higher d you just cope for meta for easy clear

dark glade
#

I never see anyone parroting that shes a god

quick pecan
#

it seemed like i couldn’t go anywhere without like ten krooster mentions for is3

vernal lion
#

or at least, having brain and play is3 like dr silvergun

dark glade
#

She is a good start, fall of quite bad later

quick pecan
#

maybe highmore is just sleepge

turbid badge
#

highmore is sleepge

dark glade
#

And the problem is not highmore

jovial nest
#

or parroters

vernal lion
#

highmore is just, stun mine, stun relic and etc

jovial nest
#

anyone who only does d0 IS3 has stopped playing it months ago

dark glade
#

Its inflated fl1 stats on high diff HellaKek

turbid badge
tropic valve
#

krooster is solid in D15

turbid badge
#

low difficulty anything works

tropic valve
#

but it's still D15

#

she alone isn't gonna kill everything

vernal lion
#

she is only needed for stun chance

jovial nest
#

she is only needed to carry your early game

turbid badge
#

yeah

dark glade
#

the d15 runner know that brood is an a hole

turbid badge
#

she makes the early game a sweep

vernal lion
#

because everything in d15 just have more than 300 def

jovial nest
#

many runs end early cause who they brought didn't live up

quick pecan
#

also

#

maybe my drafts are weird

tropic valve
#

even later on like Territorial Tendencies, she carries her weight

turbid badge
tropic valve
#

but you'll need someone who can punch through DEF which is the bane of Marksmen

dark glade
#

Kei nario

tropic valve

#

~~Shut up cirno YouDieNow ~~

jovial nest
turbid badge
#

not another schwarz ad

quick pecan
#

i just double up on texalt yato alt then try to get a good guard / burst damage for boss and a healing defender

the rest of the tickets are kinda whatever for caster / supporter / medic except maybe reedic

quick pecan
tropic valve
quick pecan
#

also occasionally horn

vernal lion
#

you have 2 options for def piercing,
heavyshooter or besieger

quick pecan
#

i know horn is good but i hesitate to prioritize her for it bc i usually look to my defender tickets for healing

turbid badge
#

supporter for me is just sora,suzu,deepcolor

tropic valve
#

shamare is also good for ed4

peak cloak
tropic valve
#

if you're doing a brute force fight

quick pecan
#

but yeah thanks for all your opinions

#

helped round out my feel for krooster depending on d0-d15

tropic valve
#

and mayer for the obvious reason

quick pecan
#

ironically i wasn’t going to build her for is3

dark glade
#

Yeah dont

quick pecan
#

but for 5* knights

#

💀

dark glade
#

Just play the superior is4

#

That en wont get

turbid badge
#

u should

#

she goes hard with warf

tropic valve
#

Greythroat/Krooster buff army is the staple solution to everything in 5* knights

quick pecan
#

i have like every 5* anti air built except for greythroat and krooster

turbid badge
#

blue poison sometimes won’t cut it build krooster

quick pecan
#

for higher def

turbid badge
#

yeah he stonks

tropic valve
#

yes Teq is really good

quick pecan
#

it fuckin

#

sucks

tropic valve
#

I sometimes skip Mlynar on 7 Hope

#

because Teq exists

turbid badge
#

i take makeshift horn

#

cuz cheap

tropic valve
#

is that FW or Ashlock?

turbid badge
#

ashlock

tropic valve
#

ah

quick pecan
#

honestly with 5* knights

#

i always have an eye out for ops with high dph or burst

#

better if they have a mix of both

turbid badge
#

angles hows meteorite crits

tropic valve
#

Aurora is another surprise hitter

#

6k DPH on frozen

quick pecan
#

there’s not an amazing amount of options so i’ve sort of stuck to tequila and andreana

tropic valve
#

pair her with Kjera for huge value

quick pecan
#

do you want to try mine out

tropic valve
#

I can confirm Meteorite also quite good

carmine sigil
#

can anyone help me with a strategy to clear s-5 CM?

#

ive been at it for so long ;-;

quick pecan
weak gazelle
#

dont worry, any 5* sniper have a use case here and there except kid named Sesa💀

jovial nest
#

even Meteorite huh

#

and Adnachiel

dark glade
#

Inb4 that one guy goes akhscually on sesa

foggy grove
#

5* adna when

quick pecan
#

well specter with module is nice actually

it’s actually good that we can get two abyssals in 5* knights to buff each other

turbid badge
#

my hunus about to be e2

tropic valve
quick pecan
#

could be aosta

#

as much as i like him he uh

#

kit of all time

#

💀

vernal lion
turbid badge
#

ok humys is e2

tropic valve
#

Sesa at least provides physical fragile which is rare, what does Aosta provide

turbid badge
#

gonna at nowdle now

dark glade
#

Amazing bind

quick pecan
#

very low bind uptime

weak gazelle
#

and he hit every 10 yearsHellaHands

quick pecan
vernal lion
#

dot dmg Clueless

carmine sigil
quick pecan
#

he is actually a good spuria target but no one outside of niche 5* knights clears will probably ever use that

tropic valve
#

where are you trying the 2nd burst?

#

usually 2nd burst is easier

carmine sigil
#

i think i cant get his shield down fast enough

quick pecan
#

you will get a functional aosta s2 for 20s that will make you question why he was done so dirty

carmine sigil
#

and mlynar skill timings are kinda wonky

#

and my mountain on right lane keeps dying randomly xD

tropic valve
#

I like to do phase 2 kill in the top right corner because it's quite isolated

carmine sigil
#

hmm okie i can try that, let me send my op list and stuff

weak gazelle
#

aosta was good when the general idea was not blocking enemies at all
but fact his mastery gain are so ass is Originium

tropic valve
#

make sure Dolly is at 1 star before going there, then drop him to 0 stars at the same time as you activate everything

vernal lion
tropic valve
#

ah, if you have Rosmontis, she solves all the tornados

vernal lion
#

it changes his tile to pink

weak gazelle
#

many way to deal with a tornado
general idea are CC/throw body

turbid badge
#

yea

#

i just throw yato

#

or gravle

vernal lion
#

nuke the tornado

flint falcon
#

so when the same rows of fluff bombs explode from diff clouds, what decides the resulting cloud colour? or just random?

weak gazelle
#

adjacent

carmine sigil
#

I'm currently trying kyo's afk strat swapping some ops out for my own and it worked for non cm

#

but for cm its ahhhhhhhhhh

dark glade
#

Aaaaaah

carmine sigil
#

^ this is the squad i was trying

tropic valve
#

yeah squad looks fine

#

what's your burst setup for p1?

dark glade
#

Thats a strange looking ceobe skill

carmine sigil
#

oh i use her for the left side lmfao

#

not for boss

tropic valve
#

is Suzuran E1 doing much?

#

she doesn't apply fragile until E2

carmine sigil
#

idk? 😭

vernal lion
#

she can slow, so far still good

carmine sigil
#

i e2'd mountain to clear these stages so im broke atm...

#

cant raise her

tropic valve
#

understandable

dark glade
#

I assume she use suzu with eyja for left

#

But he said he is using ceobe for left

#

And now i left confused

flint falcon
carmine sigil
#

one sec

tropic valve
#

there are various Caster combinations that can handle left yeah

carmine sigil
#

left side isnt really the issue

vernal lion
tropic valve
#

in general, whatever burst setup you used for phase 1, should still work for phase 2, since Dolly has the same stats I think?

flint falcon
#

fluffy buddies

tropic valve
#

it's just the location will be different

dark glade
#

What i picture in mind is, if eyja suzu can handle left fine

carmine sigil
dark glade
#

You can use ceobe right with mlynar to burst

carmine sigil
#

this is what i use

#

gg -> ceobe

dark glade
#

Oh...

carmine sigil
#

and exusiai -> archetto

dark glade
#

Its full left setup

#

And exu with no buff

carmine sigil
#

and chalter to the right of exusiai

#

i can try ceobe right tho

tropic valve
#

I see, maybe try using Ceobe S2 to help Mlynar for phase 2

dark glade
#

I agree with cirno

vernal lion
dark glade
#

That level and mod seems wasted if you just use it for s1

#

Especially if you have gg holding left in the mix

carmine sigil
#

thats fair i just dont have gg so i replaced her xd

carmine sigil
#

i mean my setup is the same except for ceobe where gg is and archetto where exu is

dark glade
#

Oh is that one kyos?

carmine sigil
#

yea

dark glade
#

Ok how about eyja in place of gg, ceobe in place of eyja to help burst dolly and cheeto in place of exu

#

idk if that will handle left lane well

carmine sigil
#

i can try 🫡

dark glade
#

🫡

tropic valve
#

good luck

carmine sigil
#

eyja cant solo hold left lane 😭

#

ceobes s1 bind was actually pretty useful in slowing the volcano dudes

dark glade
carmine sigil
#

pain desu

vernal lion
carmine sigil
#

oh mines not maxed :(

dark glade
#

probably with mod too
play sss~

vernal lion

I wonder if manticore will work with this

turbid badge

silence is pog

carmine sigil

turbid badge
#

yea shes eating

#

wiubai eats

carmine sigil
#

AH I DID IT

tropic valve
#

yoo

#

congrats

dark glade
#

so whats the winning strats

jovial nest
#

it's usually just minor tweaks.

carmine sigil
#

same strat but but getting the timings down

#

it just took me like 20 tries 😭

dark glade
#

dude

#

even i waited next reset

because sometimes

waiting out the reset

means you get your head cooled off

and learn better plans

carmine sigil

😎 sanity potion we ball

jovial nest
#

thats how i got the idea to make Saria a solo laner

#

need the cooling off

turbid badge
#

solo laner

carmine sigil
#

lmfao for sure but i already sunk like 10 runs into it and my brain was like

#

you cant stop now !!!!!1!

#

cus it was close to working just timing issue

jovial nest
#

need those asterisks

#

i mean

#

it just works

vernal lion
#

oh new CNY event today

jovial nest
#

you sure it's today?

#

cause i'd love some Shu numbers

#

I think I'm on the train that I'm using Shu and replacing my Saria.

#

less debuffs and tankiness. but more buffs all around

carmine sigil
#

ooo thats a banner where i want both units

vernal lion
#

in 4 hours

jovial nest
#

i will miss Saria's tankiness and S3. But Shu's talents are way too good

dark glade
#

inb4 number too good you wont miss anything

jovial nest
#

i mean

#

Shelter and Max HP for everyone yeah

#

and i think I can make do with other combinations that will make me not miss Saria's S3

foggy grove
#

my pull planning is in shambles RedOmegaLul

jovial nest
#

the thing is

#

you have to consider her other skills too

tidal sedge
#

FUUUUUCK
ALMOST DID IT FIRST TRY

jovial nest
#

from what i read, S3 is a nice more-offense oriented setup that adds ATK and ASPD while S2 is a defensive setup that improves the Shelter

#

I wonder if she's gonna be an M9. Or maybe just an M6

tidal sedge
#

How did this sumbitch survive?!

jovial nest
#

its called star DR

vernal lion
#

RAT

jovial nest
#

oh

vernal lion
#

oh yea I have the info of the mechanism of new CNY event

jovial nest
#

when there are enemies in seeded tiles (that includes the cardinal direction of seeds), any allies in her S3 range get the 25% ATK and ?? ASPD

#

damn

#

it's better than i expected

tidal sedge
vernal lion
carmine sigil
vernal lion
#

so, enemies bring the disease to the water, and op in there get cancer (continually taking arts dmg) based on how serious it is
can use the pumping station to pump water but can't filter the water, so if you pump clean water you get clean water, pump disease water you get disease water

dark glade
#

if it diseased its diseased forever? sadge

it's so jover

it might have link to s3

tidal sedge
vernal lion
#

he maybe good with s3 but if it comes to 1-2 enemies with big atk, he's still shit after all

#

reaper good because of aoe attack and heal with number of them

tidal sedge
#

i mean thats what his ramp up damnage is for

#

he also reach over to the next lane down

#

and killed a few those clouds as he did his job there

#

was a very nice Two-birds-with-one-stone op

vernal lion
#

I mean, not just in this event

#

but for overall

jovial nest
#

i just realized something

#

me kicking out Skalter yesterday

vernal lion
#

like try him with this one

jovial nest
#

and it just so happens a new Guardian is giving close to the same buffs I removed from the team

vernal lion
tidal sedge
#

Ok
WHO AT HG IS THE SADISTIC SOB
That decided this sheep
NEEDED 900 DEF AND A THREE LAYER SHIELD

jovial nest
#

the three layer shield is peanuts if you just pop it all with soda

#

no matter how tanky the shield is

#

one layer dies immediately from soda popping

#

it's incredibly consistent

#

Always loved to combo it with Chalter's S3 easily killing off the soda

#

oh and weakening the layers to 1 using Ya2+soda

void terrace
#

Or just exusiai the sheild

#

One attack on fountain does 2 hp to the sheild

#

It has 150 hp. Exu does 10 hp per attack. And attacks very fast

#

15 attacks to destroy the shield when exu on fountain

jovial nest
#

that damage should've been better used once Dolly is knocked down, but yeah there are multiple ways to go about

#

problem with approach is it's actually affected by S-5's CM

void terrace
#

Also has anyone tested aimiya chimaera on the sheild

#

Her S3 buffed up with aak warf or just someone might be able to cheese dolly

#

The shield only gives 75% Phys and arts reduction

tidal sedge
#

HOW, HOW, HOW?!

void terrace
#

Bruh your team is more than strong enough

tidal sedge
#

How the fuck are you supposed to kill him

#

Break 3 soda bottles and just nuke him with skills

tidal sedge

Ive TRIED

void terrace
#

Yeah you've got pozy mylnar and gang

And yalter

More than enough

Break 3 soda bottles

Activate mylnar

take advantage of the fact that marksmen can go on ground BlitzSmile

tidal sedge

I AM BREAKING THEM

void terrace
#

Save your bursts for only when he drops down

#

Your probably wasting dmg outside of the 12 second downed window

#

Pozy S3 plus type writir and mylnar should do

tidal sedge
#

...
Theres also the several adds

foggy grove
#

use your other ops for that

#

or chalter that you borrow

vernal lion
#

you are here to learn how to beat the game

tropic valve
#

make sure Dolly is on white steam when you burst during those 12 sec

vernal lion
#

my Dolly

foggy grove
#

i can imagine all of my auto will be cursed next rerun with greyy rng

tidal sedge
#

I tried timing the skills but i feel like the adds make that difficult

#

Or...
Maybe dont make a boss have 900 def AND A SHIELD

tidal sedge
jovial nest
#

what's more impressive is how is Chalter not still laned

#

she's the one solving the adds

#

how she died?

jovial nest
tidal sedge
#

I put her in a bad spot tbh

jovial nest
#

i just wanted to point out that maybe, just maybe, Dolly would drop if Eyja was on the Geyser tile

foggy grove
#

chalter near geyser should have solved most of your ads problem

tidal sedge
#

I hate this, i hate this, i hate this

foggy grove
#

i just used my own "ground" chalter RedOmegaLul

#

left or right doesn't matter

tidal sedge
#

And i did put her by the geyser...
She died there

foggy grove
#

did she get hit by tornado?

#

or you can just switch tile with mlynar

tidal sedge
#

Hmm

#

FUUUUUUUUUUCK

#

This is actually pissing me off

#

I switched Mlynar and Chalter
Chalter died

dark glade
#

i tried my best, my best is so average SkadiDaijoubu

#

fuck this im playing IS

jovial nest
#

I have no idea where you put your chalter

#

but wherever it is, I don't know why you don't put her there

#

that space alone covers almost every area they come from and go to

dark glade
#

there is also good, added bonus hitting p1, worse for drone

jovial nest
#

that blue of yours really is pointless. Most of her range is wasted on supposedly blocked areas

dark glade
#

actually probably the same for drone

vernal lion
#

this gives me idea about liskarm

dark glade
#

you are not supposed to leak something to the right either dont you

jovial nest
#

I didn't. Because no one has to lane there

#

and if anyone does get through, easy FRD solution

#

but that's mostly based on what the squad is and how you approach the lanes

#

Unfortunately didn't screenshot my S-3

#

because it wasn't even worth noting for me personally

#

compared to S-4 and S-5

#

what i did was

#

Zee's recommended spot was where Thorns was

#

and where his Mlynar is, is where I put Reedic

dark glade
#

im more confused by the mudrock position but that porbably just panic from leaking

jovial nest
#

Mlynar was just upfront

#

Mudrock is in a spot that doesn't scream panic

#

it's too far from the box

dark glade
#

true actually

#

if he patch the leak should be 1 tile downward too

#

my recomendation for tha pos is because, depending on how fast you setup, you can activate chalter when dolly on toplane together with mlynar
chipping dolly's health to ~30-50% remaining for easier burst later in the middle

#

Hmm is blaze module worth it

#

I haven't module 3 gavail Texas or yalter

#

But blaze

#

I'm considering

glass monolith
tidal sedge
#

The gains are good if you do like using her

void terrace
#

I usually don't pursue upper end content but like making my older ops like ceobe and Chen useful

jovial nest
#

you're considering moduling blaze over tex2 or ya2...well, you do you

#

if you still use her

void terrace
#

I mean for me it's more about getting all my ops to a usable state

tidal sedge
#

Sounds like a good idea under those parameters

jovial nest
#

you get more value out of laners

glass monolith
#

i still didn't module tex2 and don't even plan it RedOmegaLul

void terrace
#

And blaze isn't really usable

foggy grove
#

mod 3 will make blaze more usable yeah

#

she is still not competing with gavial tho

void terrace
#

I mean the alternative is just gavail mod 3 but the diminishing returns just prevent me from mod3ing anyone who doesn't need it to cope

tidal sedge
#

Supposedly it's one of the bigger gains an op gets from mod upgrades

void terrace
#

Mmn yeah that's what I heard

#

Haven't used blaze in a long time thanks to gavail and finally want to bust out the old chainsaw cat again

#

Thinking of dumb combos but blaze is pretty rigid

spark sinew
#

module 3 yato or texas looks like a bigger waste than blaze to me

fierce tendon
#

Man, suggest me an op that can handle left lane in s-6 LappDumb

foggy grove
#

yeah just plain stat stick

void terrace
#

Just mod3ed ceobe and super totally didn't regret it. It's amazing

spark sinew
#

that said idt either one is good

void terrace
#

Blaze's difference won't be as noticeable but

spark sinew
#

ceobe is one of the most hyped modules

void terrace
#

Yeah

tidal sedge
#

Wtf +86 base atk

void terrace
#

I mean it's infinite scaling with defence

tidal sedge
#

Why do centurion get so much extra atk from module

void terrace
#

Which possible opens up a lot of dumb shit in high end content where defence spikes. Resistance can always be shreded

#

Even on dolly with only 900 defence ceobe was my main damage dealer this event with eyja

deft badger
#

@spark sinew 👑

#

just honoring ur presence RedOmegaLul

quick pecan
#

honestly you feel the difference even off skill

tidal sedge
#

I guess HG saw how much reapers were being used over centurions

deft badger
#

@spark sinew btw help me out here which of the 4 stars can i e2 for IS

#

wanna grind to e2 my six stars

dark glade
quick pecan
#

honestly yeah centurions just did not feel good to lanehold off skill

dark glade
#

you might just kill him because you ping too much

quick pecan
#

la pluma got to have a small sp cost double hit and an aspd talent that make it happen faster

deft badger
#

who me, hauck likes when i do ping him 😄

quick pecan
#

explodedank the centurions were coping pretty hard the extra block didn’t even matter

dark glade
#

blasphemy

spark sinew
#

now he resorted to lies

#

has he no shame

tall cairn
void terrace
#

I mean maybe I should just mod 3 gavail since it's so over tuned

spark sinew
#

mod2/3 were trash, no?

tidal sedge
#

Although it's kinda funny to me that the most 'generic' centurions are the 6*s

quick pecan
#

i should emphasize i’m speaking abt the 5* centurions btw

spark sinew
#

are you using gavial3

void terrace
#

I mean I use her on the regular so might as well. Was going to wait for her second module to see if she gets some stupid healing buff

quick pecan
#

but their skills aren’t really meant for laneholding ig

void terrace
#

I'm using mod 1

quick pecan
#

i think gavialt was fine

#

blaze maybe leaked a bit or had to have someone help her block pre module

tidal sedge
#

Yeah. 5* centurions do kinda feel dated with contemporary design

void terrace
#

Generally use S3 on my gavail

spark sinew
void terrace
#

Mean while specter honestly got a baller module

#

I mod 3ed her for fish squad

deft badger
#

i am confused af right now 😄

void terrace
#

And she actually pulls her weight as a solo lane holder with stupid amounts of self hp regen

quick pecan
#

the gains are shitty for abyssal hunters but they’re good enough on their own for her so it’s nice

spark sinew
#

i mean if you want to use up all your blocks, i won't stop you

void terrace
#

I have like 20 blocks plus left T-T

tidal sedge
#

I feel their statline was meant to lanehold with basic attacks and blow skill for elites, but they moved away from that kind of map+enemy design over time

spark sinew
#

but those modules are honestly in the venue of "no way this is worth the mod blocks"

void terrace
#

I need to begin conserving them

spark sinew
#

also do try s2 gavialt

#

better cycle

void terrace
#

I have her m6ed

spark sinew
#

wallhacking

#

whatever else

quick pecan
#

and then the creeping def started to hurt their basics SkadiDaijoubu

void terrace
#

Just prefer the feel of S3 for some reason

#

Also works nicely with stainless turret

tidal sedge
#

It's why I'm very interested in what a new 5* centurion will do

spark sinew
quick pecan
#

specter feels really nice with mod 3 + andreana mod 3

spark sinew
#

he's kinda eugh to carry you in IS early though (with low op levels)

void terrace
#

Hmm maybe I should go back to S2 usage to combo back with mylnar

tidal sedge
#

They could use something of a more general design at 5*, and Specter is banished to Kernel so there's a gap waiting to be filled

deft badger
tall cairn
#

Take support Pozy or Schwarz.

void terrace
#

Pozys enough

dark glade
#

borrow exalter

#

better than thorns

#

thorns bad

tall cairn
#

I’m convinced Thorns start is bad.

deft badger
#

u are bad... -.-

#

thorns rocks IS2

quick pecan
#

iirc from my napkin math specter w mod 3 + andreana mod 3 does around 40k with s2

dark glade
#

you want phantom killer

tall cairn
dark glade
#

exalter can do that

quick pecan
#

idk if andreana pot is enough to squeeze one more hit bc of frame rounding

shell arch
#

Thorns start is2 is bad

#

Thorns e2 start is2 is good

dark glade
#

can kill bear/playwright with minimal effort too

spark sinew
#

debatable

shell arch

Know the difference CardAyy

40k, hm.

that is probably the best 5* knights will get for a helidrop RedOmegaLul

# tidal sedge 40k, hm.

less in practice ofc bc of def but still it’s nice to see that on a high initial sp skill

Usually better.

I'd actually suggest to try chen e2 start

:CeobeCU-

tidal sedge

who are these boomers and their start

is this IS2 or IS3

spark sinew
tall cairn

IS2.

deft badger

doesn't matter which is

It does CeobeConfused

deft badger

i just wanna grind one of them efficiently

Is3 is a completely different monster than is2

You’re right. It doesn’t matter. Shouldn’t start with Thorns either way. BlitzSmile

Speaking of 5 stars, new cn 5 star numbers in 35 minutes or so?

spark sinew
#

well...

quick pecan
#

oh grain + wan

shell arch
#

Just don't cope for liskarm start on is2

#

I don't think it'll work

tidal sedge
#

Well, free to discuss them that is

quick pecan
#

wan is cute i will probably raise him even tho he will forever be cooked by +1 more dp than a max pot elysium explodedank

#

depending on how good his aspd buff is on s2 i might try some stuff with him + elysium s2 though

tidal sedge
#

How much aspd would it take for you to be interested in that

quick pecan
#

hopefully it’s not something mid like 15

glass monolith
#

How much you offer? 🐀

tidal sedge
#

I see

quick pecan
#

i don’t want them to double punish him by welfare tax on skill numbers seeing as a flag is already taxed on their dp gen for their secondary skills

deft badger
#

everyone telling what not to do, but non saying what to do

tidal sedge
#

We will know very soon at least

quick pecan
#

true true

#

idk how grain buds will do

#

it’s not looking good at a glance

deft badger
#

f- shit just tell me what to e2 lol

tidal sedge
#

Well, actually that's already knowable, but rules are rules

quick pecan
#

an archetype that doesn’t do enough to justify its slot when slow is accessible in much better places

#

the best decel binder is relevant bc she is a slower second and a buffer first

tidal sedge
#

I get Proviso vibes from her kit from preview, and Proviso is already barely used

quick pecan
#

they need to do too much to make a 5* slower relevant after greyy alt post module

#

he’s so good even from basics alone

#

hopefully she can at least find a place in sleep stall ig

tidal sedge
#

Before I found out she had X module I coped that she could get infinite duration skill that grants aspd and splash to attacks

#

I wanted Greyyter but arts AmiyaDeskBang

quick pecan
#

wait for a new archetype /s

#

decel binders are so joever

tidal sedge
#

Chain casters with X module were my hope for that

#

But the only who leans into aoe slow with brief gap is Pass s2

spark sinew
#

greyy already has decel binder built in on s2

#

just need to roll that 40% every time

quick pecan
#

astgenne is kinda nice

#

well she doesn’t get the increased slow duration

#

but it’s like what

tidal sedge
#

She's nice but she's full dps

quick pecan
#

1.8s atk interval with talent

#

yeah

#

it is nicer to see a chain caster with a bit more emphasis in control tho

#

at least in comparison to the rest

tropic valve
tall cairn
#

Watchlist.

quick pecan
#

well ig it’s back to waiting 1037482 updates for a top tier 5*

#

wan and grain will probably at least be usable

tropic valve
#

grain is cute so I'm holding onto copium

foggy grove
#

wan too

tidal sedge
#

Would you use her if she is indeed about Proviso competence

foggy grove
spark sinew
deft badger
quick pecan
#

proviso is just in base

#

tbh

#

i don’t really remember the last time i needed to slow aerial

#

so it’s just greyy alt

tropic valve
#

why leave at phantom? beating him gets a lot of points

spark sinew
#

i never once seen proviso being used in combat

tidal sedge
#

I used her for for-fun no-block lane strats before Greyyter module

deft badger
quick pecan
#

i think even then if i needed to slow a drone

spark sinew
#

borrow pozy

quick pecan
#

i would use istina

spark sinew
#

as like 4 people said

tropic valve
#

yeah can borrow a heavyshooter or something

#

thorns is probably not gonna do much beyond just holding lane

quick pecan
#

but god istina just feels so archaic to use

#

the cycle is whatever on s1 i don’t think it’s horrendous

tidal sedge
#

But the more I use Greyyter the more unappealing using a decel gets

quick pecan
#

but the skill design is just so

#

boring

tropic valve
#

Greyyter just built different

spark sinew
#

you're too used to your previous strat for phantom, but pozy/black just kill it almost solo dps in one cycle

tidal sedge
#

He really is something else

tropic valve
#

similarly I just find it easier to use May instead of decel binders in many situations

dark glade
#

whta even is the previous strat Bnuuy

quick pecan
#

premium orchid has never felt so unrewarding

tidal sedge
#

That range with that slow.

deft badger
#

put ur pozy in to support hauck...
i have been taking thorns since i know to clear that thing with him 0 struggle involved 90% i am going just to place him and know how to clear the map in IS2

quick pecan
#

at least module doesn’t make istina dead off skill

#

there’s some competency to the slow ig

#

idk when or where i would use her s2 over greyy alt tho

tropic valve
#

you can also get to the point where you can just place Schwarz/Pozy and know how to clear the map in IS2, but the difference is they are actually good against bosses too

spark sinew
quick pecan
#

is there any istina is4 usage

#

that will tell me if she is truly dead

tropic valve
spark sinew
#

banned

tropic valve
tidal sedge
#

Her slow uptime on basic attacks is actually pretty good. But part of her problem is that consistent st slow with that range isn't as useful as I'd like to admit

quick pecan
#

yeah the module makes the basics nice

quick pecan
#

but it do just feel like premium orchid bc the skill design is so lame

tidal sedge
#

Year 1 design.

#

Although I guess Proviso is pretty boring too.

quick pecan
#

well i suppose it’s a good indication that i can at least say she is dead bc that means at one point she was relevant

#

i can’t say the same for glaucus

tidal sedge
#

S1 is auto recovery powerstrike. S2 is if you mashed Podenco s2 and Istina s1 together

quick pecan
#

decel binder truly a class of all time

tropic valve
#

I used Proviso in RA for some mob waves, and in Lone Trail when I didn't want to block stuff

dark glade
#

especially on full e1

#

whatever blocking him just evaporate

tropic valve
#

she's not spectacular or anything

tidal sedge
#

Decel range had some perks in Lone Trail ye some maps

dark glade
#

or he just skrrrt away unscratched

tidal sedge
#

But Lone Trail was very unusual in how often the mobs were purely melee

spark sinew
#

i think i just bruteforced with chalter/carne back in the day

#

and like another dps

#

never tried to block successfully so no comment

tropic valve
#

before Schwarz dodge ignore module, I sometimes did the block strat

quick pecan
#

praying for maps to have a lone ranged tile around a loop so enemies can donut for a decel binder to be usable once every year JessicaBruh
