strategy

[spark sinew]

but mine is m6 (duh)
the new flag seems to have a bit more general skill on s2 than ely

so you could probably just only use s2

[flat sapphire]

Ely s2 was kinda useful but then ines released lmao

[crisp bolt]

I use any and all flags

but I like ines more

[spark sinew]

because it's in the air

[glass monolith]

(Swings sword in air)

[spark sinew]

qiubai can

she jumps pretty high

[glass monolith]

Silverash - Throws his f- bird at it

[tidal sedge]

Oh. The tornados don't ram into my formation in s-3

Making a 2nd Dolly dps team was pointless

[worthy fern]

Finallys ITS DEAD

[loud edge]

Can anyone help me with SL-S2?

[flat sapphire]

idk how to tell u this but surtr cannot hit flying

[tropic valve]

this was my setup

[spark sinew]

i can guess at least one operator that cirno used

[tropic valve]

Puzzle can be replaced by most ground units

[flat sapphire]

u can still use surtr but u have to knock down dolly by using geysers or soda bottles

[spark sinew]

you don't kill dolly while it's flying

[tropic valve]

you should expect to commit 3-4 ops if you want to one-cycle Dolly

[spark sinew]

so surtr is fine

[loud edge]

Is that a decel binder?

[tropic valve]

yeah, Proviso

[quick pecan]

where cirno’s greyy alt

[midnight falcon]

Mlynar is enough If you Aak him

[spark sinew]

I'm shocked, who's that operator on the bottom ranged tile

[flat sapphire]

it takes 4 bottles in cm

[tropic valve]

not built

[loud edge]

How can I get rid of those caster sheep at the start?

[tropic valve]

Melanite

[spark sinew]

green name disinformation

how dare

[tall cairn]

[tropic valve]

Schwarz killed the left one, Firewhistle killed the right one

[midnight falcon]

Thats fine If you have mountain and goldenglow they clear the stage we can borrow Aak to kill boss

[tropic valve]

you can also use Ashlock or Horn

but Ashlock has no Arts dmg so less useful for big guys

[loud edge]

S2?

[tropic valve]

yeah

[midnight falcon]

What about a medic? Max Lumen or Eyjaberry e2 40 is enough

[tropic valve]

if you Aak Mlynar, keep in mind steam color affects Aak damage; he should live either way from full hp though

[spark sinew]

cm condition literally tells you

[midnight falcon]

I see

[quick pecan]

whole event is just a greyy alt sweep

[spark sinew]

5* s-5 looked painful i tried and then decided to not do it

no taunt really hurts this small brain

[quick pecan]

i have not touched the stage

[spark sinew]

and damage sucks

[quick pecan]

although every clear i see of it for 5* knights isn’t on cm

maybe that’s an indication

[tall cairn]

Time to do the frd dmg drag.

[quick pecan]

[spark sinew]

despite me actually having quite a bit 5* raised

[spark sinew]

giving up was easier

if you allow yourself 4* you can probably just bait with gravel and also have another flag red sucks

[tall cairn]

[spark sinew]

i could probably do male only but that would be too easy i think

unless lumen doesn't heal enough

[tropic valve]

5* only is too painful so I add one 6*

[spark sinew]

same

S||Mlynar||

[glass monolith]

If 5* is painful, you using wrong 5*s

[spark sinew]

not false, my 5* variety kinda sucks

i saw broca doing funny things ln the right side for example, but in my case i was stuck with pluma

[pseudo mauve]

hey, I am really struggling a lot with SL-4 from event. This is the team I am using with the support character. Main problem: Either left side dies or right, depends on the healer combo with damage. Anyone got advice?

[quick pecan]

i don’t want to do cm

[vernal lion]

do you have long-ranged sniper, like artilleryman sniper?

[pseudo mauve]

Nope, platinum is my best.

[tropic valve]

Decel Binders and Ambushers really popped off

[vernal lion]

so you have E1 platinum right?

[pseudo mauve]

ye e1 lvl 50

[quick pecan]

tfw my slowers are greyy alt and broca

[spark sinew]

didn't raise manti? for shame

[quick pecan]

i actually do not have manticore

[vernal lion]

good enough, deploy her in here, facing left

[quick pecan]

[tall cairn]

[pseudo mauve]

alr I will try that

[glass monolith]

having manticore was sorta funny in RA 1 because SIMP plot line giving +100 attack speed to her

[turbid badge]

rangers

[spark sinew]

i would swap to lisk s1
and maybe myrtle s1 but either sucks so

you want white steam under your defender, but the left side big sheeps will hinder you in that

[vernal lion]

also, if you have trouble with the sheep that throw the other sheep,
just deploy a pusher on tile number 1, facing down, and defender on tile number 2

[spark sinew]

so you either bait them with red/gravel or do the above

[spark sinew]

never unlocked that

[vernal lion]

also remember to cover both number 1 and 2 with white cloud first

[spark sinew]

i think it was part of ed3?

i did first two endings, and then reward track ended and so did my motivation

and then i see people absolutely cursing the ed3 prerequisites and rng

which didn't help

[tall cairn]

T’was fine.

[spark sinew]

don't you need to discard some relic

[tall cairn]

Only took like an extra 10 or so separate runs?

Yeah.

Need to discard ed2 relic line.

[spark sinew]

without any hints about needing to do that

[tall cairn]

pretty horrendous.

[tropic valve]

there was way too much rng

[tall cairn]

Without a guide it’d be pure insanity to chase after it.

[vernal lion]

if you want ed3, you need to discard 2 of this

[tropic valve]

I got it eventually but man

[spark sinew]

thankfully the boss is back in ra2 i think

[vernal lion]

full collection

[spark sinew]

but wow it's not funny to play it without knowing chinese

[tall cairn]

First few hours were really really rough.

[spark sinew]

i used the app that basically translated the text on screen before, but it's broken currently

[glass monolith]

Does RA2 have any cringe kleptomania where 11 out of 12 shits are plot line scripted crap and like only 1 relic is actually "go find balans event" one?

[loud edge]

I hate that stage

[vernal lion]

I literally made the guide for ed3

[spark sinew]

so easy

[loud edge]

I did it

[quick pecan]

oh actually i lied

this wasn’t too bad

meteorite died but who cares

elysium s2 actually went so hard

[loud edge]

I didn't have any good lane holders for the bottom lane which was most of the problem for the stage for me

[quick pecan]

la pluma was enough for me

but made sure she had white cloud

otherwise she gettin cooked / leaking

if you can outrange the casters top right the rest of the stage is pretty simple

just slow the big black sheep and it’s ez clap

[spark sinew]

mountain seems solid to me

but i also see pink cloud under him

did you pop a bottle for him at all?

[quick pecan]

if la pluma works mountain is definitely better ya

as long as theres white cloud for him

[loud edge]

I just used spec alter for the sheep in the top right?

[quick pecan]

oh if she kills that works too

it’s just annoying on challenge mode bc they hit hard + there’s no fountain in that area

and cm condition is soda bottle higher hp

[loud edge]

: (

[vernal lion]

haha 10k hp

[quick pecan]

meteorite was still enough so

the challenge mode condition isn’t too bad when you remember the bottles have no def

but it delays your consecutive uses

hmm i wonder if i should have used platinum instead

[tropic valve]

nice!

[loud edge]

I regret it

Well hopefully the next stage is a bit easier for me

[quick pecan]

wtf dolly is in sl-s-3?

i thought it was just s-5

💀

[loud edge]

[tropic valve]

hehe double Dolly

[tidal sedge]

Dolly in s-3 has an obvious killzone at least

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah the flies more threatening, tho not that beeg

I meant the path

[tidal sedge]

Krooster + Texas should be enough for grounding them. It was for me at least

[scarlet fulcrum]

Krooster playground

[tidal sedge]

Yeah

[scarlet fulcrum]

I used krooster only for this yea

[tidal sedge]

In practice runs I ran into wobbly rng at times using solely Krooster, so I supplemented with Texas in case that occurs

It irritates me that Texas feels better to use than Poncirus in this event

[quick pecan]

stun too op

[scarlet fulcrum]

Indeed, better prepared

[quick pecan]

neither my texas or kroos alt are built

[tidal sedge]

Better cycle too. Plus Dolly maps seem to favor being proactive quickly

Oftentimes Dolly's first wait spot is it's longest

Or so it seems to me

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ah yea in case u cant finish in one burst window

[tidal sedge]

Not to mention one of the premier threats being Tornados just kill Poncirus if they explode on her

So Texas stun better favored there too

[scarlet fulcrum]

tbh my ponzirus still unbuilt, got her very late and no red cert

[tidal sedge]

I really want to like her

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thicc pioneer

[tidal sedge]

But the more I test her, the more I can't disagree with Igneus saying she's bad.

I really wish her s2 had lower sp cost.

[scarlet fulcrum]

what is total time needed to wind up

[tidal sedge]

70 seconds

Alternatively, more dp on s2 casts could work

It's rough she needs so much more time to fire her skill twice compared to other pioneers

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pretty standard for inf duration, but yea i wish its faster

[tidal sedge]

Needing 70 seconds to get noticeable net dp gain when Texas/Chiave only need 52/56

[scarlet fulcrum]

HG treatment on inf duration smh

[tall cairn]

They’re continuing the newer 5* = bad tradition.

[tidal sedge]

After using Texas as primary vg for 2 years I got used to her s2 cycle. I think Poncirus s2 2nd cast is ready when it's oftentimes just 30/40 sp

[tall cairn]

5* just feel too expensive compared to 4* and too lackluster compared to 6* counterparts.

Without additional utility they just die in a ditch.

[tidal sedge]

Poncirus does perform to my expectations after 2nd cast. But the period before that occurs being worse than other vgs is very noticeable

[tall cairn]

Sounds like a slow guard rather than a pioneer, but pioneers have pretty bad stats to begin with.

[weak gazelle]

ponci dies to tornados with white cloud beneath her?

[quick pecan]

poncirus not the 5* answer to tornados anyway

we all know who is 💪

[scarlet fulcrum]

I will treat her as passive dp gen pioneer with decent sponger tho i will use other ops for 2nd purpose

[tidal sedge]

Never tried with white cloud, but if I've white cloud around the Tornados should be toast before they touch her

But EX-6 and S-4 throw a Tornado immediately

[scarlet fulcrum]

If white cloud even ines survive

Without the white cloud the big threat maybe big fellas in general

[tidal sedge]

Yeah. Luckily they're slow

Crowd control and no-block strats good for them

[scarlet fulcrum]

and pathed near fountain

Except ex-7 ig, tho its on purpose since thy are slow

And the res like 25 or lower i fogor

💀

with white steam they are basically goner, even tho their hp 18k or smt

[tidal sedge]

50% damage amp stronk

[tropic valve]

yeah the safest way to counter clouds is basically white clouds + no block

[weak gazelle]

yeah
this event really give me the joy of how powerfull perma slow with no block

[cyan gorge]

Chain casters and GG shit on everything in this event

[vernal lion]

my afk is so scuffed

[pulsar venture]

I dont have exusiai for sl-s-1 can i replace her with platinum

[cyan gorge]

Do you need Exu for S-1?

[dark glade]

exu was never needed for everything

[cyan gorge]

Idk I just used Chetto and Astgenne

[pulsar venture]

I watch videos on YouTube

[vernal lion]

I just need Ling

[tidal sedge]

Exu is hardly necessary

What do they use her for

If it's air sheep, you can just ground them

[cosmic thicket]

i used exu for all SL stages with dolly except for s-5

[tropic valve]

although Exu is the fastest Dolly shield breaker, you can also use Greythroat, Archetto, Krooster, Angelina, Caster Amiya, etc. to similar effect

[tall cairn]

Oh you ended up not using Exu buff army?

[cosmic thicket]

no

i swapped to generic burst skills

[tall cairn]

Prolly way easier to time.

[cosmic thicket]

the fountain tile is also not very convenient for exu to reach until dolly moves which i didn't like

[tall cairn]

Fair.

[cosmic thicket]

in my limited attempts she also just didn't kill, but i didnt being skalter

[tall cairn]

dang.

[pulsar venture]

I guesss i dont know how to play the game haha

[foggy grove]

i still don't too

but i cooked with practice plan

[pulsar venture]

I need to clear sl-s-1 to sl-s-5

So hard 😦

[foggy grove]

it's not hard till you reach 4 or something

[dark glade]

3 cm is quite a dps check

while 4 normal is not that bad

4 cm tho

[cosmic thicket]

i found 5 > 3 > 4 > 1 > 2 difficulty wise

[tropic valve]

agreed

[foggy grove]

my dps is ground chalter so i that's why i found 3 easier

it's practically 1 lane

[ancient hearth]

4 really isn't that bad, it's largely one lane that all funnels into ifrit

[cosmic thicket]

i have exec alter as well but like

idk i kept dying to flying sheep

[opal anvil]

Brute all till stuck last stage forced play by rule

[cosmic thicket]

(i forbade myself from using texalter)

[foggy grove]

i just ground them with bibeak

i used chen non cm

[loud edge]

Just use her to knock them down

[cosmic thicket]

that's literally like

trivializing the stage

and i didn't feel like it

[ancient hearth]

S5 is pretty simple to solve too. Hold right side with mountain in front of the fountain, pop the tornados w/ fast redeploys before they can kill him, then put all your dps in a deathball around the left side fountain to nuke dolly

[foggy grove]

my used frd fot this whole event is like phantom and gravel

i refused to use tex and yato

[pulsar venture]

Why

[cosmic thicket]

yeah that's kinda what i did, but no mlynar makes it harder because you actually have to bait stuff

[foggy grove]

they are dumb

idr the last time i used them

[pulsar venture]

Weak?

[cosmic thicket]

they're boring and unbased

[ancient hearth]

your last deployed would have to be a ground unit to keep the pink fart off your high ground dps

[cosmic thicket]

yeah that's what i did

[undone moth]

which units good for level 2 specialist/guard chip map

[foggy grove]

this

[tropic valve]

Mountain, Pluma, Fedex, etc. should be able to solo lane

also Silverash S2

[foggy grove]

they can save so many of your bad play

[cosmic thicket]

just saturate with block count (that actually kills enemies) because of the invis enemies

[undone moth]

i dont have any of those units

[latent anvil]

phantom is good there

[cosmic thicket]

basically just laneholder and a medic or two

[undone moth]

i was using shaw to knock off the units in the middle

[cosmic thicket]

shaw's pretty good yeah

[undone moth]

but things keep slipping by on the left lane even with 2 people blocking

[cosmic thicket]

DPS/block count issue

[ancient hearth]

gladdia or rope/cliffheart to pull them into the pit?

[tropic valve]

is Phantom good though, I tried using him in this event and he was just ok

[cosmic thicket]

he's mandatory for the P stages

[pulsar venture]

Where is a good place to start for newbie? I dont understand how to use my comp

[ancient hearth]

phantom is good in the sense that he's gravel that can intercept 2 tornados instead of 1

[cosmic thicket]

P is for phantom sweep

[latent anvil]

phantom is pretty good

[tropic valve]

yeah but he costs more than Gravel and Gravel can actually survive the explosion in case you need her to do another action in the same deployment (like bait a column)

[latent anvil]

hes like nightingale which is close to schwarz so ash is like saga or something

[tropic valve]

understandable have a nice day

[tepid sigil]

I'd consider he's good if his clone doesn't take deploy slot

[cosmic thicket]

just use s1

[tropic valve]

isn't S1 physical dodge?

the clouds are arts right

[cosmic thicket]

idk

all i know is it does a bajillion damage

[ancient hearth]

https://gamepress.gg/arknights/core-gameplay/arknights-beginners-guide is a good start

[undone moth]

i will need to level one of them lame

[ancient hearth]

I wouldn't know, I've been cheating using goldenglow on the white fart tile

global range fart application

then I mizuki + ines the tornados outside of S5, they just don't get close enough to touch my blockers

[tropic valve]

same

[cosmic thicket]

i either used ange or spamming gravel

[pulsar venture]

Thanks a lot

[tall cairn]

S1 is phys dodge, and boss does arts yeah.

[round yew]

Have you cleared is monthly squads?

[undone moth]

no i dont know what that is

i just came back to the game after forgetting about it in 2020?

[ancient hearth]

see the memory mapping and deep exploration sections

and the analagous things in phantom and crimson solitaire

they give out significant amounts of xp/lmd as rewards for clearing them, and chip packs

[vernal lion]

HOLY JESUS

[cosmic thicket]

oh does she actually kill

[ancient hearth]

deep exploration/investigations give tier 4/5 materials instead of chips and catalysts

[cosmic thicket]

im bad at the game

[undone moth]

how do i unlock it

[ancient hearth]

bow to the real mvp, mountain

best vanguard in the game 2 years running

[cosmic thicket]

that's crazy

(i don't have him)

[ancient hearth]

I actually don't know, unlocking conditions should be visible if you haven't unlocked it.

I would assume the game would say something when you attempt to press the button.

[cosmic thicket]

you need to beat 3-8 (not necessarily with 3 stars)

[undone moth]

ah cool i just finished 3 5

should be soon

[ancient hearth]

oh, the skullshatter map

these days just mylnar it

[vocal cave]

mlynar s2

[ancient hearth]

if you don't have an E2 already so you can borrow other E2s, borrow NTRK on S2 instead

I think even a E1 stat capped NTRK should be able to shit all over him

ntrk being nearl alter

[undone moth]

i have a e2 goatfjalla

[foggy grove]

you know what's a better borrow
la pluma s2

she can one cycle boss while holding the lane

[ancient hearth]

bird propaganda

[undone moth]

and that swimsuit of hers

[foggy grove]

but ye if you already have e2 eyja,you don't need to borrow

[undone moth]

i wanna do amiya next idk why

can 4* do elite 2

[foggy grove]

they can

[tropic valve]

YEAH

oops caps

[undone moth]

is amiya worth e2

[foggy grove]

if you have nothing better

[tropic valve]

you have to E2 her eventually

[ancient hearth]

you need to E2 her for the last stages of chapter 8

to unlock them

[foggy grove]

yeah but there is no need to rush her for that

just build base slave first or something

[tepid sigil]

If you have something else to upgrade then put amiya aside first

[scarlet mortar]

build a competent squad and by the time you get to JT8-2 you'd have spare mats to E2 amiya pretty easily

you don't really have to rush the story anw

[ancient hearth]

the later chapters have first clear/milestone rewards, so I would probably go for those first before finishing 8; you can start at chapter 9 without finishing the stuff before it

though 10 is gonna be a ...fun time with an underleveled squad

[acoustic fox]

u could also farm events

[vernal lion]

imagine stacking them but not using them

[acoustic fox]

it doesnt hurt to have em

it might not even be enough

[vernal lion]

it does, when you don't know what to farm

[acoustic fox]

farm maxing every character then

idk im new

[vernal lion]

if you look up for the combine mat, you will know why I said it

[acoustic fox]

u mean the T4 Mats?

[vernal lion]

yes

[acoustic fox]

It eats these i knoew

[vernal lion]

but you know what it will eat the most

[acoustic fox]

rocks

its always rocks

[vernal lion]

rock and device

[undone moth]

what ar best 4* to e2

[acoustic fox]

Ive e2 gravel

[vernal lion]

you mean it in the best op to use, or just easy to E2 first

[undone moth]

uh both i guess

[vernal lion]

Materials:
T2 Device: 1-12 (50.55%, 9 sanity)
T3 Device: 3-4 (28.51%, 15 sanity)
T3 Aketon: 3-1 (37.18%, 15 sanity)
T3 Oriron: 2-8 (23.43%, 12 sanity)
T3 Polyester: 2-6 (31.58%, 12 sanity)
T3 Sugar: 2-5 (36.74%, 12 sanity)
T2 Orirock: 1-7 (124.48%, 6 sanity), S2-12 (230.42%, 15 sanity)
T3 Orirock: 2-4 (42.42%, 12 sanity)
Loxic Kohl: 2-9 (26.73%, 12 sanity)
RMA: 2-10 (28.16%, 15 sanity)
Manganese: 3-2 (37.65%, 15 sanity)
Grindstone: 3-3 (32.61%, 15 sanity)

worthy E2 4* Operators:
Estelle: RMA = 12, Grindstone = 8
Mousse: T3 Orirock = 20, Grindstone = 8
Matoimaru: T3 Aketon = 16, T3 Sugar = 10
Jaye: Grindstone = 14, T3 Aketon = 8
Rope: T3 Oriron = 15, T3 Sugar = 11
Shaw: T3 Device = 12, T3 Polyester = 11
Utage: T3 Aketon = 14, T3 Orirock = 14
Gavial: T3 Device = 13, T3 Oriron = 6
Myrrh: T3 Aketon = 14, T3 Polyester = 12
Ambriel: T3 Oriron = 16, RMA = 6
May: T3 Oriron = 14, T3 Polyester = 12
Shirayuki: T3 Aketon = 15, T3 Oriron = 9
Myrtle: Grindstone = 12, T3 Device = 8
Vigna: T3 Oriron = 16, T3 Orirock = 11

[undone moth]

is forstleaf or cutter worht doing

[vernal lion]

cutter is also worth, but not for early due to the material is very rare to get

frostleaf is kinda fell off these days

[tepid sigil]

Cutter worth, frostleaf is E1 lvl1 at max cuz base slave

[vernal lion]

cutter uses the mat from chap 4 and 5 iirc

so it's kinda hard to farm if you are newbie

[gray stone]

I think you should jump straight to 6 star as first E2

[undone moth]

i did goatfjalla e2

[vernal lion]

beside, if you plan to E2 someone, you need to check material and event first

it will be necessary to know when to E2 them

[gray stone]

This is weird

This event seems to last 3 weeks?

[vernal lion]

because it is

[gray stone]

Past CNY events aren't like this

[vernal lion]

yea, Ling doesn't have S stage

same as CY

[gray stone]

This is the first 3 week CNY event

[vernal lion]

I wonder how the boss belike in S stage

[undone moth]

oh is aciddrop good

they seem cool

[quick pecan]

no

[polar crane]

skateboard

[drowsy jewel]

skateboard (2)

[ancient hearth]

ok, but not standout exceptional

[polar crane]

[pulsar venture]

Can i clear sl s 1 cm with this tean

[tidal sedge]

Easily

[timid schooner]

yes

[pulsar venture]

Keep failing haha

[polar crane]

why suzu s2

[tidal sedge]

Uh

Why all the afk skills though

[foggy grove]

sa s1 is real

[drowsy jewel]

just dont do afk things

you already have the other's best skills equipped

[tidal sedge]

The map is basically deal with skateboards on 2 lanes, solve air sheep, and solve tornados

[pulsar venture]

Do i need to change SA skills?

[tidal sedge]

What's killing you exactly

[pulsar venture]

My saria died

[tidal sedge]

To Tornados?

[pulsar venture]

Yea

[tidal sedge]

Final wave or prior

[quick pecan]

use a slower on tornados then kill them before they reach your melee ops

[errant hound]

use fast redeploy to tank them

[quick pecan]

you just group then kill

[small oar]

I have no casters RN so its between the fast redeployment or the casters

[errant hound]

yeah that work but the safest is to slow them then kill or get baits

[heady hedge]

this stage looks disgusting

[drowsy jewel]

another easy way to do it would just be chalter, she kills most of the tornadoes whilst slowing them

[quick pecan]

it’s pretty easy with greyy alt and one anti air tbh

[tidal sedge]

Final Tornado wave is funny

[heady hedge]

na i just have nightmares on the exploding clouds

because i jumped from ex5 to mo1 and exploding clouds murdered my entire team

[quick pecan]

but yeah chotgun does both jobs at once

[loud edge]

Are any of these ops a bad choice for ashy marsh?

[heady hedge]

why ag

bag

flagpipe in annihilation lmfao

[keen rain]

Bag in anni

[loud edge]

To put out fires and little bit more damage if needed

[heady hedge]

also eyja s1

[agile perch]

pozy and schwarz are sus

and yeah eyja shoudl be s1

[heady hedge]

spalt s2

i can recognise that s3 symbol

[agile perch]

has anyone made competetive arknights

[heady hedge]

yes

[agile perch]

where like you compmete to see who clears a map faster

[heady hedge]

check vifer channel

or any cn bili channel

[agile perch]

oh ok

[heady hedge]

for is

[tidal sedge]

Bag only moves your gameplan by 6 seconds. But annihilations are oftentimes 15+ minute maps so she's not terribly useful unless you've literally no better dps options

[heady hedge]

im not sure if he still makes the content tho

[loud edge]

Sus?

[agile perch]

sus

are they not?

[loud edge]

No?

[agile perch]

hmm

ok

feel like its hards to use them here

but idr remember the map

[loud edge]

Not the best idea for me

[heady hedge]

??

[heady hedge]

you unironically use spalter s3 with modx?

[agile perch]

whjere you gonna put schwarz

[loud edge]

Where ever she's needed

[quick pecan]

i would remove schwarz gravel and bagpipe

the map is mostly hit count and aoe based

[loud edge]

Gravel is being used to put out fire

[agile perch]

i mea

mmean

[heady hedge]

you dont really have to put out fire tho

[agile perch]

should add more afk laneholders

or afk dmg

[ancient hearth]

trapmaster traps can permanently block fires

borrow a dorothy or something

[loud edge]

I don't have Dorothy built

[loud edge]

And I'm not doing that

[quick pecan]

you have eyjalt the fire doesn’t even matter realistically you only have to worry after eblana second phase

[heady hedge]

yeah

the fire doesnt matter

[loud edge]

Best I can do is mudrock

[quick pecan]

fire does not matter

did not even use a wandering medic so you will have an even easier time

[heady hedge]

also maybe jsut maybe try the stage first

[loud edge]

I have

[quick pecan]

eblana makes fire matter when she instant pops burn into you taking splash damage

other than that it is mostly manageable

you don’t even have to care about some of the splash damage because you can kill ranged with texalt too

💀

[heady hedge]

isnt the boss also pretty weak anyways

i know the phase 2 died in like 5 seconds for my part when i was doing afk

[gray stone]

They removed the part where she turns others into shield

[quick pecan]

canta kills like one mook per deploy then dies and that was enough

[loud edge]

Does she have low def or res?

[heady hedge]

should be low def iirc

she feels super weak

compared to the one in wtfc

[loud edge]

Will anything bad happen if I hit her with arts?

[heady hedge]

no

she just has a higher res

[foggy grove]

she is malnourished and is not well fed

[heady hedge]

i think yato s2 literally nukes half her hp

but im not too sure

[foggy grove]

so no barrier

[heady hedge]

im giving an example on how weak she is

[gray stone]

Barrier was a huge reason why she was so hard to kill

[heady hedge]

yeah and this time she doesnt have it

for some reason

makes it 100 times easier

[cosmic thicket]

sounds about right

[gray stone]

If you manages to ignore it she literally dies in 1 cycle

Kaltsit shit on her back then

Virtuosa pop her in 3 times in rerun

[loud edge]

These are the spots I have been placing my guards should I move them back a bit?

[peak cloak]

xD

[loud edge]

What?

[peak cloak]

how far u could go with that ?

[loud edge]

past 200

[heady hedge]

why not just place them all at the back

where eyja heals all of them

[gray stone]

Just group things up lol

[peak cloak]

sure, it's only work until pass 200.
worse yet? xd, 300 is waiting

[loud edge]

I have too many hours in a different game that really makes player move away from the start so it just natural to me to stay away from the back

So where should I be holding them at?

[gray stone]

That's not how shits work

[gray stone]

Right in front of your blue box

[peak cloak]

here will be your best play ground

[turbid badge]

and the blue bix

[gray stone]

Not too close to the bluebox tho

[peak cloak]

yea

[turbid badge]

why

is this some strat

[loud edge]

Why what?

[turbid badge]

or u want eblana on mire??

[gray stone]

Because enemies will converge and overwhelm your stuff

[turbid badge]

do they not have good aoe

[high warren]

Support mlynar was my mvp

[peak cloak]

healing pressure. if your ops in burning reeds, she/he will take burn dmg and your medics will target that op instead of the ops that need it most.

i learnt it well with Horn

[gray stone]

Hold close to the blue box, but not too close that enemies converge, the mortars hitting 5+ people and your healers get shit on

[agile perch]

Def further back

[mossy ore]

[agile perch]

My run just stacked right next to the blue box

[heady hedge]

let me guess ur run was afk guide

[high warren]

Same lmao

[loud edge]

Does anyone know the range on silver ash s3?

[peak cloak]

pretty wide

[loud edge]

Ok nice

[turbid badge]

7 tiles

first

[high warren]

I'd 3 healers (3rd healer joined when 250+ somewhere)
Mlynar and eyja did all damage and tons of defenders to stall
And surtr to stall, and that shielder redeploy to tank damage for my wandering medic in grass

[turbid badge]

yeah i guess

[loud edge]

So I'm going to place silver ash on the red spot facing down with spec on the green and blaze on the blue does anything seem wrong with that?

[peak cloak]

are u lacking of tank?

[loud edge]

I have Mudrock, Blem and Nearl

Firewhistle too but she's still e1 and does have not fully developed skills

[peak cloak]

about the green dot tile ,which op u are gonna place there?

[loud edge]

Spec alter

[peak cloak]

Specter? cool

[loud edge]

I have silver ash facing down with blaze to target invis

[peak cloak]

alright, seems good for me.

but i do note:
u know the ranged guys? they attack last deployed op and op with taunt so plan your deployment orders well. idealy one defender op that doesnt clump

after 300, it's quite hard so pay attentions

[loud edge]

I know

[pulsar venture]

Finally with this team i can clear sl-s-1

[dark glade]

can clear all

[tropic valve]

gj!

S-2 is easier (probably)

[lyric moat]

finally managed to reach talulah second phase but i didnt knew that she can detonate the civilians at the back lmao

what else can i add to the team

[tropic valve]

this team can definitely do it

[lyric moat]

maybe placement was off ig

eyja cant sustain the fireballs still

[tropic valve]

main thing is during the fire phase, you want to use Nightingale to cover 3 rows

and cover the last row with someone else

one option is that you might not need 2 Executors, so you could bring an immortal like Surtr or Specter

they can tank a lane "for free" during fire

[cosmic thicket]

guardmiya is a good choice because of the arts dodge

[lyric moat]

ooh ok

prob change texas for surtr still need the exec to kill the drones

do i retreat nightingale at start of 2nd phase too?

[tropic valve]

yeah

Nightingale skill comes back faster if you retreat

[lyric moat]

ahh

aight thanks ill try with surtr/ guardmiya this time lel

[loud edge]

Do you know when the boss shows up?

[dark glade]

350

[loud edge]

Do you know what the range is on the flamecaller and cannoneer?

[vocal leaf]

if you have e2 ethan he's also great to protect one of the lanes, he got 30 res and +2k hp

[dark glade]

flamecaller is the mage?
cannoneer is the one firing globally?

idk the names

[loud edge]

Yeah flamecaller is the mage

[lyric moat]

uhhhh

she just detonated them all lmao

[loud edge]

You have to destroy them before they do that

[vocal leaf]

talulah playable when?

[lyric moat]

awe sht

[loud edge]

Same time as the d2 cross over ( joke )

[dark glade]

should be standard mage range which i also dont know

[loud edge]

I'll just experiment a bit to find out I did get to 330 so I just need to change my ranged ops placement a bit

[peak cloak]

around 350

oh

someone told you

[loud edge]

[peak cloak]

i was in arknights for a is run

[loud edge]

You weren't joking about shit hitting the fan at 300

[peak cloak]

i wasnt joking. if u somehow managed to pass 300's waves then welcome to the boss.

after 350's waves ,things are way easier.

u can chill until the end

[loud edge]

What are some good places to put a ranged ops because them getting killed is what ended the run?

[peak cloak]

the onlt ranged tile ops i used was Eyja caster.

*only

u dont need much ranged tile ops. except healers

[loud edge]

Nice

[dark glade]

oh and if u place someone on bottom green box you want to retreat them when eblana is near

[dark glade]

redeploy when eblana is dead

[loud edge]

So that's where I'll put Goldenglow

[peak cloak]

the main things i dont use many ranged tile ops cuz healing pressure

[peak cloak]

yea u can use eyja or susie

[loud edge]

Goldenglow is my only caster unless you count Ling

[tidal sedge]

lol. S-5 really just throws casters at middle

What a dick move

[void terrace]

Yalter with bottles or mylnar sitting in the mid

[tidal sedge]

I'd rather not use them

[void terrace]

Low star run?

[tidal sedge]

I don't find most high end 6*s enjoyable to use in general

[void terrace]

Fair enough

Any ranged op facing the right on the bottom left fountain can help cover them in white smoke

[loud edge]

Does Eben count as a 6 star?

[void terrace]

Then on the right side you just need to white smoke your laneholder to prevent them from dying since multitarget doesn't really affect 1 unit

[foggy grove]

why would he not lol

[void terrace]

Not until delta mod

[foggy grove]

[void terrace]

He's just a 6star resource incenerator

2 bait mods

[loud edge]

He is not that good compared to others

[foggy grove]

and?

he still dump all lower rarity

[void terrace]

Clearing a stage with ebon actually being useful is more impressive than some low star clears

Actively planning around him spices things up

[fringe jackal]

eben shreds those black fat sheep great on the left lane of sl-s-5 cm

[foggy grove]

actually not lol

[void terrace]

Passenger eyja ceobe and every other non splash caster would like a word

[acoustic fox]

Found some1 who did SL S 5 CM with 4 stars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGGVMjKRB0Q

[void terrace]

Damnnnn

[peak cloak]

looks like rick roll link

[loud edge]

I'm surprised it wasn't that one guy that does all those low star clears

[peak cloak]

🧐

[acoustic fox]

technically this is lower stars then Kyo

[loud edge]

So this dude is a mad man?

[fringe jackal]

next uber hard event.... DOS

[tall cairn]

There’s a 4* E1 60 clear of normal S5.

[acoustic fox]

Normal S5 is easier than CM tho

[void terrace]

Chey

It's normal

[tall cairn]

Yes. But you’re still stuck at E1 tho.

[tidal sedge]

Im struggling on NM S5

[tall cairn]

E2 is a big increase in stats.

[void terrace]

Wait nvm

[acoustic fox]

the carry was jay lol

[void terrace]

Whot

0_o

[acoustic fox]

the discription tho - So long
So tired
So hard

[tidal sedge]

Bc...
In HGs wisdom. Its perfectly fair to have 2 of the skate sheep that count as two units at the start and are invisible. Thats reasonable

[loud edge]

"so hard" 🤨

[void terrace]

Damn Jaye goes hard

[acoustic fox]

this strat actually looks easier then Kyos too

[somber stone]

But you have to build four stars

[acoustic fox]

They didnt use the bigman cheese

[foggy grove]

yeah it's so much easier he is playing on speed 1

[void terrace]

https://youtu.be/6L4u4HjJV20?feature=shared

Damn ling clear

Gonna try this but on easy mode with proper ops

[dark glade]

when you think 4* strats is easier its not

especially dolly

like who want to follow a guide that redeploy 200 times on a single stage

[south bone]

who thinks 4* strat is easier anyway

they should be lappdumbed

[tropic valve]

yeah 4* strats are really complex

[dark glade]

but maybe e2 4* can just redirect bomb to highground

[tropic valve]

because you need to redeploy so many times

and DPS checks are always close calls

[dark glade]

neglecting the pink cloud bait altogether

[south bone]

4* doesn't have that many burst DPS or multi-hit for Dolly

[tidal sedge]

How the hell are you supposed to set up for S-5?! You have almost no time to get ready.

[tropic valve]

with Schwarz it's like, oops I mistimed the Dolly shield, oh well after Dolly got shield back Schwarz just finished him off anyways; don't get that luxury with low rarity clears

[tropic valve]

if you put a melee unit above the fountain on the right, they can usually hold for a while

since the tile below them can't be colored

left lane is usually 2 or 3 units including arts damage and/or cc, like Astgenne + May

[dark glade]

vg > cheap laneholder to the right > bait big fella on left > tank laneholder on left > full setup

also get way easier with mly since you dont need to worry about vertical nuke anymore

[tidal sedge]

Ok. Mine is dying anyway?

[tall cairn]

Mlynar will die if you didn’t change to white smoke under him.

[tidal sedge]

Ah

[dark glade]

oh give a dedicated healer or 2

[acoustic fox]

im watching back my clear on it

i see so many mistakes

[pulsar venture]

in sl-s-3 what can i use to replace exu?

[tidal sedge]

Kroos2 if you have her

[south bone]

Kroos alter

[tropic valve]

any fast Sniper basically

[ancient hearth]

Krooster, greythroat, archetto

[ancient hearth]

Any aa sniper with aspd up or multi hits

[pulsar venture]

platnum ok?

[dark glade]

mountain can hold right

saria with gg hold left

then its up to you to setup on left or right

looks overkill already

[balmy jolt]

I did it guys

[tidal sedge]

Lol

[balmy jolt]

Sl-S-4 CM with no 6 stars

[scarlet mortar]

she has the opposite of aspd up

[pulsar venture]

how's about suruzan? i dont have her

[balmy jolt]

I've been doing this legit since wednesday or some dogshit

[tidal sedge]

Can you give me a visual of where everyone should go?

[pulsar venture]

i will use greythroat then

[balmy jolt]

good thing there are no maps after

[tropic valve]

grats

what team did you use?

[dark glade]

this is my dumb mode clear dont follow

wait it send diff image

lol

thats s4

[tidal sedge]

Lol

[tropic valve]

Hilter gaming

[loud edge]

[dark glade]

again dont follow

[somber stone]

Imagine that autocorrected

[balmy jolt]

LOL

[scarlet mortar]

you aren't really bringing marksmen to dolly for their atk stat, you're bringing them for their hit rate
be prepared to nuke dolly with other ops when you activate greythroat S2

[tidal sedge]

Ok i see.

Why pozy way over there?

[pulsar venture]

ahh i see what can i replace suruzan?

agelina?

[dark glade]

i was asking myself that question

[scarlet mortar]

suzu has no direct replacement, which strat are you using?

[noble pewter]

I used Angelina s1 n it worked fine, for kill dolly I just make sure shield down in the killzone

[acoustic fox]

this was my strat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrYguMKtBb0

i managed to get a decent recording but found some errors rewatching it

[tidal sedge]

Im not on CM

[scarlet mortar]

..that for S-3?

should just clear as is

mlynar deletes dolly

[pulsar venture]

Yea s3 and cm

[scarlet mortar]

looks like a free win

[tidal sedge]

I kinda see, but ill have to sub a lot of units

[acoustic fox]

i think suzu isnt super needed

but she helps with her slow

[acoustic fox]

the main thing to take away is that GG, Mountain and Gravel is the core of my setup

[void terrace]

Damn ling 8 op clear is actually really ok

[pulsar venture]

Still failing somehow haha

[steady mortar]

is there a guide for sl s 5 cm mode without both mlynar and mountain being needed at the same time because i have neither

[quick pecan]

is mountain laneholding right side

[steady mortar]

yes

[quick pecan]

if so just put someone else who self sustains to lanehold there

who do you have

[steady mortar]

thorns?

[quick pecan]

i’ve also seen people use specter and just support her by killing some of the exploding sheep

[steady mortar]

I also have chongyun surtr blaze gavial alter but they dont have self heal

[quick pecan]

thorns would probably die if he spends too much time blocking without time in between to heal

[foggy grove]

you can just give them medic

[quick pecan]

yeah if squad space isn’t tight add a medic

[foggy grove]

if your deployment slot is not constrained

[turbid badge]

angle ya ever gonna raise morgan

if not im gonna raise her

[quick pecan]

chongyue + healing defender probably the most effective i would actually use gavialt to help mlynar kill big sheep (dolly)

[turbid badge]

[quick pecan]

idt so

[steady mortar]

would i place gavial alter under mlynar

[quick pecan]

she has nice dph but man her barrier decaying feels so bad

although ig for stationary elites that doesn’t really matter

or maybe i could use a silence drone to keep her alive long enough

[turbid badge]

dph is op

idk her module good

[quick pecan]

her module is good

[tropic valve]

this is normal but should also work for CM (can add more ops if not)

the idea is kill Dolly after the first pair of casters but before the first pair of whirlwinds

[quick pecan]

dreadnoughts like the atk scale from base mod a lot but if she blocking she might get cooked

[turbid badge]

Indra module ?

[quick pecan]

then again it’s not like the other 5* dreadnoughts are that much better

indra module kinda whatever

[tropic valve]

Totter works great here because he can see invisible sheep

[quick pecan]

imo flint and dagda mods are better

all they had to do was improve indra’s cycle

and she would’ve improved so much

apparently leizi is the only one they’re allowed to say they fucked up on

[turbid badge]

time to open bilibob

[quick pecan]

people were complaining dagda module doesn’t increase her crit multiplier

but the 12% higher start along with the base atk from mod does a lot for s2

including building stacks by 1% more per kill

[turbid badge]

hes eating

more atk always good for dis man

[quick pecan]

chong mod is interesting

[tropic valve]

yeah leizi module actually kinda goated

[quick pecan]

it is awful against just elites

amazing for mobs

[turbid badge]

yea

[quick pecan]

and above average for mobs mixed with elites

he uses the mobs to get more s3 procs on thé elites

💀

[turbid badge]

zuo le is fun

[quick pecan]

i will probably cope for chong second module

[turbid badge]

zup le eating the chapter 13 boss

the barrier goes so hard ngl

he spams his skills

there so cheap

with the talent

he just stacks barriers

• dr from module

[quick pecan]

his skill spam compensation for chong voiceline nerf real and factual

[turbid badge]

dont forget noir nerf too

[south bone]

chongyue walks so zuo le could run

[quick pecan]

i view his interaction with module so differently from the rest of the archetype

[turbid badge]

hella might get drafted forever after this

[tidal sedge]

The initial batch of modules is pretty different from now ye

[turbid badge]

yanknights 4 the win

[quick pecan]

for the rest of them it feels like the shelter is a hot fix to the way they almost die while dueling

[south bone]

Ngl i find zuo le way more interesting than shu

i mean teleport is cool and all but

[turbid badge]

the teleport is fun

[quick pecan]

for him with s2 he just has it active immediately during the whole skill duration 💀 protecting the barrier too

[turbid badge]

idk how it works functionally

[quick pecan]

it feels like like a failsafe and more like a way to beef up the barrier further

[turbid badge]

i like s3 more

[south bone]

S2 used more for dueling maybe

[quick pecan]

i just like that s2 hp cuts for ease of use

[turbid badge]

i think i like these new self sustain toys way too much

ugh his cycles are so fucking fast

its insane

😭

[turbid badge]

do the rice tiles disappear?

[quick pecan]

they stay as long as shu’s deployed iirc

[turbid badge]

it wouldbe cool if shu has a skin that change how it looked

[tidal sedge]

That's very plausible

[quick pecan]

apparently the tiles staying when she retreated was a bug

[turbid badge]

anyways wish the reed map was still here

imagine the lag

teleporting all those plant mfs

[tidal sedge]

Summoner skins often change how their summons look. Shu skin changing her imbued tiles doesn't sound unreasonable by comparison

i cant find any dagda module showcases

just indra and flint

[tidal sedge]

Oh. Red Sarkaz Caster

After 4 years, finally

[quick pecan]

i looked at all the brawlers post module

[south bone]

I'm surprised they even have a mod showcase

[quick pecan]

only chong and mountain break 700 atk

and it’s with their atk pot

[turbid badge]

sad dagda doesnt have one

flint and indras are really just whatever

you still want to get them tho

cuz brawlers probably want that extra attack

[quick pecan]

honestly the way i would rank them is

casual: dagda -> flint -> indra

gigagamer: flint -> dagda -> indra

i think flint benefits the most but dagda is easier to use bc her cycles are faster than both of the other two

[turbid badge]

is that namies thing a operator or a npc

j havent looked into ra2 rewards

[quick pecan]

ig you could argue flint no block makes her easier to use than dagda though since you don’t have to worry about her dying from blocking

[livid delta]

Flint good

[quick pecan]

god indra makes me so mad

can’t even helidrop bc initial sp is 25/50

I hope it's a good skin

I love using Dagda

[acoustic fox]

No mistakes on my end. With a super clean run I should be able to kill Dolly on his second round

[cyan gorge]

It's not a mistake if you already won

[acoustic fox]

well in my run i can see lotta mistakes

do it once and then stop

is swire alter replacable?

with jaye i believe

or any other nuker thats fast to deploy

gottit thanks

[acoustic fox]

shes really only there for a tiny bit more burst damage and to pop bottles

[cyan gorge]

I still can't imagine doing S stages without Ines

[foggy grove]

i didn't use her

more like because i don't own her and i don't do borrow

[spark sinew]

somewhat tempted to farm crystals even more

[glass monolith]

If skateboard sheep do their skating and boarding at start it become infinite pain to play around smoke nuke

[acoustic fox]

Im at 200

[spark sinew]

other stuff is like 200+ including the craft of aketon that i'll do but crystals is sub 100

[acoustic fox]

ish of each right now

[spark sinew]

manganese is even 248

[acoustic fox]

aiming for 300 of each

[glass monolith]

I farmed crystals to 100 and quit because I don't know use for them at all

[cyan gorge]

I don't have any above 100 cause no time to farm

[acoustic fox]

to hoard bruh

[glass monolith]

I had 50 crystal, 1 year, dozen masteries, two dozen e2s later, I have 50 crystal

Like I srly don't feel it moving anywhere

i have 150 crystal 200 bottles 200 mango this event zzz

[deft badger]

only crystals? more like crystals, salt, semi-synthetic solvent stuff u are never going to run out

[lapis hornet]

literally dunno what to farm

[glass monolith]

Well because Salt is God damn side drop on all those efficient stages

[acoustic fox]

more aketon and manganese

[deft badger]

i think salt was in like every event shop since we got it

did have probably one op that was needing it for e2 till now

[spark sinew]

you guys farm stages outside of an event?

[deft badger]

mats that i didn't farm but are there for some reason

[acoustic fox]

6-11

[spark sinew]

that's honestly why i went with crystals rn

[acoustic fox]

alot

weird way to spell "1" and "7"

and it doesn't drop salt 🏃‍♂️
