for chungus the map shape kinda sucks yeah
unless u place like ASPD Ethan in front of him and have 2 tanks

skalter buffing everyone is cool i guess
and then goldenglow top for another DPS? idk
spark sinew
oh wow i didn't even have skalter
cosmic thicket
but killing defense crushers while blocking them is kinda scary
spark sinew
not sold on it actually
tall cairn
Red black aesthetic better.
cosmic thicket
the hardest map was that beach one, almost got wiped by bullies
this map is the reason why i run penance
tall cairn
B….but, gotta buy it for the memes. 
spark sinew
what memes
tall cairn
to not use it after all.
spark sinew
now that i look at my carries...
yeah i just abused mlynar apparently
cause idr other 2 doing shit
cosmic thicket
lmao
i handheld someone's SSS the other day and carnelian is actually not bad at all for MJ
spark sinew
device B is kinda funny, if wildly win more
cosmic thicket
the +permits and DP?
spark sinew
yeah, picked it because i needed to unlock it for archive or whatever
tall cairn
Lin carry is the way. 
cosmic thicket
i maindeck lin yeah
tall cairn
What is maindecking?
spark sinew
even for MJ you can just run cheaper casters
cosmic thicket
lin dumpsters f5 and f6 (f5 the little tumors give lin a lot of extra DPS, and f6 she can get like 4-5 SP from being hit by the torpedoes)
vernal lion
so the Star Ring splash dmg is only active when Kristen is in the range of 5 tiles to it
cosmic thicket
What is maindecking?
putting her in original squad
tall cairn
Oh. Thought you meant the supporter shuffle thing.
spark sinew
ok i only ran eyja as a caster
cosmic thicket
in f4 lin can contribute as well as a body in top lane, the only enemies that actually threaten her are the tanks but she can proc s3 to make them sicko mode early
spark sinew
pretty horrible, in hindsight
cosmic thicket
good positioning as well lets her hit the boats
spark sinew
although first floors are so easy you vang spam anyway
so -exalter, cy
-canta
should probably add 1 spec and one caster + a melee carry?
tall cairn
Lin Mizuki?
celest solstice
should I curse at the game for having a hard stage?
tall cairn
gg’s fine.
tall cairn
3 fodder supporters for transfer?
spark sinew
can certainly pick up more, i'm really not sure about the fodder-carry ratio
technically all supporters are fodder yeah
shell elbow
can i get help for making a team for ls 6 the message has my box #help message
tall cairn
If foddering, might as well put in Gnosis Skalter so you don’t have dead slots.
shell elbow
or should i repost it
turbid pagoda
repost it
spark sinew
skalter is a waste of slot regardless though
i'm iffy about gnosis without going hard into snipers but maybe
why are you doing LS-6, first off
ideally you shouldn't farm it exceptions apply
tall cairn
Used him mainly to stall a bit at the start with s3.

why are you doing LS-6, first off
probably desperate to raise operator

you don't lack anything
3 limiteds, mly thorns

No offense, but 'basic strats'
You have 2 of the top meta units in the game

i would probably hold off penance here
at least until thorns mly and base slaves

So how new did you say you were again
ive been on and off alot but i havent gotten past ch 2 till like a week ago
turbid pagoda
i forgor he does hve thorns
turbid pagoda
just take it easy,and you will get how the game works
spark sinew
yeah don't do the LS6, you don't want to farm it
go push story
vital arrow
Idk how do you even get e2 texalt without going past ch2
shell elbow
i know but brain hurts and feel stupid
vital arrow
Everyone is stupid
spark sinew
ideally take texalter out of your squad
vital arrow
They get better by playing the game
shell elbow
yeah don't do the LS6, you don't want to farm it
go push story
but people keep saying to go e2 people
spark sinew
if you don't know the mechanics you will be so bad
when clearing chapter 2 with texas e2
vital arrow
but people keep saying to go e2 people
Yes, after you've covered the basics
turbid pagoda
watch youtube strats from kyo or ecko,you can learn how to play the game by knowing why they deploy the operators on certain stages.
vital arrow
Are you sure you didnt skim some parts of the advice
Like the ones that say build your base or dont skip tutorials
shell elbow
base slaves i got my base built correctly and i read the tutorial but i dont think i understood the tutorials
vital arrow

Read it again
You have a lot of unraised base slaves

Just search 'stage name' guide

yea stage name + arknights
shell elbow
no but like the tutorial to learn to do stuff myself
vital arrow
What 'stuff'
turbid pagoda
exactly
shell elbow
basic stuff
vital arrow
You mean tutorial on how to 'play the game'?
turbid pagoda
there are a lot of basic stuff
vital arrow
The basics are in the game itself
somber stone
Go through and find the tr-x stages
spark sinew
i think Dreamy had a mechanic vid
shell elbow
this is why i dont trust your oberon pfp
vital arrow
The rest you just learn through trial and error or guides
spark sinew
which was basic enough but at the same time good enough to make you a lot better than most players

like team building for a stage

The Rule of Thumb of Team Building
2 
| 2 
| 2 
| 2 
| 2 
| 2 
- Either bring two Pioneers (2-block DP-on-skill) (ex. Vanilla, Fang) or change one of them to a Charger (DP-on-kill) (ex. Plume). Chargers are recommended on stages with early waves of lightly armored enemies. Standard Bearers (ex. Myrtle) are recommended to be paired with a Pioneer, and provide massive DP-on-skill regeneration.
- It is recommended to bring one Protector (ex. Beagle, Cuora, Hoshiguma) and a Guardian (healing defender) (ex. Spot, Gummy, Nearl).
- Choose depending on the enemies and ranged tile placement; if many drones are present make sure at least one Marksman (anti-air priority; ex. Kroos, Exusiai). If large waves of mobs appear, try using an Artilleryman (ex. Shirayuki).
- One single-target medic (ex. Myrrh, Ansel) and one multi-target medic (ex. Ptilopsis, Perfumer) is recommended.
- It is recommended to bring one core (ex. Amiya, Steward) and one splash caster (ex. Lava, Gitano).
- Like snipers, use what's necessary for the map, dreadnoughts (ex. Melantha) are good assassins, Centurions (ex. Popukar, Specter) can help counter large waves.
For an easier time getting familiar with units available in the game and their kits, you can find some linked resources under /links.
Disclaimer
As playstyles differ between players, and maps are all different in design, feel free to make your own modifications to the team roster as deemed necessary. This list does not include 
and 
, but the two classes include operators that can be of massive help on various maps. This guide should only be used as a base reference, and you should use your own knowledge of the map and operators to build the perfect team for your clear.
turbid pagoda
blud really think i'm my pfp
waxen swan
Are you ?
shell elbow
nah but i dont trust his fans either
waxen swan
That's sad
turbid pagoda
aigh aight back to arknights it's not an off topic channel
spark sinew
i honestly think you're at a point where your teambuilding priorities will shift
just play, push the story enough and go with the flow
turbid pagoda
you can learn as you push the story 
spark sinew
like you just e2 those 3 and most of the roles go out of the window, since those ops will cover them
tepid sigil
I'm more surprised he have that kinds of roster and not knowing basic stuff
spark sinew
didn't answer my question about the price, but i understand
vital arrow
You'd be surprised
shell elbow
when i was playing off and on i just asked here and they said pull them
tepid sigil
Wow that's crazy
vital arrow
You havent seen the guy with 2 pages of *6 E2 and cant clear chapter 6

How’d bro get the 6* e2
waxen swan
Feel like i know that guy

how about full squad of e2, e2 90 mly and can't clear anni3

Anyways ak has a learning curve, so just push story and learn accordingly.

how about full squad of e2, e2 90 mly and can't clear anni3
mlynar is making people stupid

enjoy the better prod base
while you push the story
don't forget to do this
turbid pagoda
i've heard that mlynar is hard to use because he doesn't block
halcyon adder
'Surtr is bad because she dies on s3' was something that popped up often here
🤔
Surtr is bad because there are operators better than her
spark sinew
i mean mlynar is absolutely worse than some alternatives for stacked accs
halcyon adder
Honestly I find it hard these days to bring her to default squad
spark sinew
provided content is trash enough
cosmic thicket
surtr is bad because according to dagyo 13 dp texas is too expensive so surtr costing 21 dp is too much
spark sinew
like yk, if i can just put something afk that blocks and wouldn't die
and clears the stage anyway? yeah it's better than mlynar in this context
halcyon adder
Are u broken becuz content is easy or is content easy becuz u are broken?
turbid pagoda
but the fact that mlynar doesn't block makes him better.(for me atleast)
tepid sigil
Honestly I find it hard these days to bring her to default squad
Idk about the other
But since her released, I've never seen why is she a must bring on default squad
cosmic thicket
no it literally is an upgrade
the ability to not block is actually a very strong one
spark sinew
it's a boon in actually hard content (not always, but most of the time)
shell elbow
i dont know how to use mlynar im so stupid i dont get the easy win
turbid pagoda
because i can just put mlynar anywhere and not worry about him dying.
spark sinew
yours is not e2
shell elbow
yes
tepid sigil
i dont know how to use mlynar im so stupid i dont get the easy win
Yours is E1 duh
somber stone
because i can just put mlynar anywhere and not worry about him dying.
Taunt:
cosmic thicket
this does big damage
scarlet mortar
me when i click a button and the enemies disappear
spark sinew
there's not a lot of actually scary ranged enemies
scarlet mortar
well there are certain scary global range abilities
spark sinew
most of the time when your laners die of cringe it's because they block 2 or more enemies and you know they're already dead
tepid sigil
Taunt:
I used mlynar on dorothy themed anni and never even need a medic for him an he slay all
spark sinew
hi thorns
halcyon adder
Thongs

i like thorns
cosmic thicket
taunt is actually good because he can damage sponge offskill with his like 4k hp
spark sinew
||you like e1 thorns? ||
tepid sigil
taunt is actually good because he can damage sponge offskill with his like 4k hp
Also decent def
shell elbow
i just like that he a good def that also does range atks

i still don't know dolly's timings
never even needed to think about deploy order either
tall cairn
Mlynar taunt too strong.

i just like that he a good def that also does range atks
yeah basic lord guard stuff

to be fair, thorns s2 kinda slaps
can't wait for lord module to make it the obvious better skill :YA:

i never used it
waxen swan
It's shit
cosmic thicket
it's the main skill for iberiaknights
tall cairn
niches.
waxen swan
It's not bad when you got nothing else
spark sinew
if you have access to the rest of the roster there's very little reason to bother
cosmic thicket
it also actually synergizes with his talents 
spark sinew
does it apply dot, idr
honestly just add enfeeble on his dot
HG been slapping enfeeble on everything anyway
cosmic thicket
that would actually be hilarious
somber stone
Shamare basically
spark sinew
would also help him to not die that fast
tall cairn
Sounds like delta shenanigans, too far away. 
spark sinew
even helps s2
tall cairn
Gotta wonder why HG still refuses to make lord guard modules.
spark sinew
world is not ready for global vision SA
waxen swan
Yeah they like making mod for new sub class more than the one that already exists
tall cairn
drowsy jewel
I am ready
somber stone
Hi ready I’m dad
drowsy jewel
Prob because of the expectations of other players don't you think?
It's SA after all
Can't mess up his mod
waxen swan
What expectations they gonna put dogwater mod on the best ops in the game
spark sinew
||oh they will ||
tall cairn
drowsy jewel
spark sinew
what was the last good mod we got on older utility ops
waxen swan
They been doing this so many time idk why they refuse to give basically stat buff to meta ops
tall cairn
Surely, that’ll work.
spark sinew
statstick ones can get good ones (see blaze)
but idr good ones for the supportive ish ops
tall cairn
Mostima? Ethan? Idk.
oblique flicker
How do i clear tn1 orientation
spark sinew
those were forever ago
tall cairn
shit.
drowsy jewel
Aak had a pretty good mod
spark sinew
honestly i'm curious if carne got mods like that because she has bind and slow in her kit
tall cairn
They likely just dun wanna make support modules too strong since supports are alr mega op.
And then they undershoot the bar.
spark sinew
also like senz said, aak it even improves helidrop capability, somewhat
waxen swan
I wish ntr mod isn't dog water
spark sinew
i just get mod1 for more damage, good enough
honestly didn't feel like she really needed mod anyway
tall cairn
Gotta believe they’ll make better mods.
tall cairn
I wish ntr mod isn't dog water
It’s the same blocked enemies thing like Gavial2’s no?
Both characters were pretty good to begin with, so can’t really expect that much buffs.
waxen swan
But cmon fucking more damage when block
spark sinew
idk just pick the first one
tall cairn
Simple and efficient.
waxen swan
At least make it goofy
scarlet mortar
op with big number gets bigger number
spark sinew
But cmon fucking more damage when block
i mean you either drop her on enemies with s2 or use s3 and block with her/sun anyway
and it also should work if you're using s1 with a defender for some reason
waxen swan
It's not about the mod being bad it's more the mod being basic as hell
spark sinew
would you rather she gotten sleep on deploy
waxen swan
Like the ops have 3 unique skill and they give her the most by the book mod
tall cairn
Could say the same thing about Eben.
waxen swan
~~would you rather she gotten sleep on deploy~~
ironically yes
tall cairn
2 shit mods. And then finally something decent.
spark sinew
stay away from me
tall cairn
At least Nearl didn’t have to wait.
waxen swan
Until the 3rd one just shit on it
spark sinew
i mean aoe is still only on mody
tall cairn
It’s not even that much different from mod X, and yeah pretty slow.
spark sinew
just you wait for elemental res to become the norm
scarlet mortar
Xmod's bad in a general sense but at least it's funny
waxen swan
But do they really need 3 mod
spark sinew
carne does need third mod
waxen swan
He didn't even get a 24 skin
scarlet mortar
He didn't even get a 24 skin
yet
tall cairn
Needs redemption.
tall cairn
~~carne does need third mod~~
She just might.
waxen swan
I want saria 3rd mod where she just do dps
spark sinew
the s3 is so horrible, wtf were they thinking
waxen swan
Carne got 2 skin tho right?
tall cairn
Summer and winter.
spark sinew
bad and good skin ye
waxen swan
The trade off for her shit s3
tall cairn
Summer bad agree.
waxen swan
Hool would probably never get a buff
spark sinew
a more supportive mod, trust
tall cairn
actly haven’t seen much Hool usage, is she really that bad.
waxen swan
Tf she supporting

she's so wildly off typical use cases that you'll have to be checking nicheknights or shitposters for her

gd.

hool is very funny for SN because levitate and silence
waxen swan
They really should just make her s3 pierce
tall cairn
Assume she falls in the range of, “fulfils a certain niche”, but fails to provide anything other ops can’t?
spark sinew
i'm not sure if she fullfills a certain niche
scarlet mortar
well also the niche is nearly nonexistent
spark sinew
unless you count this as a niche
tall cairn
Can’t even make the base addicts build her since her base skill is so bad.
spark sinew
she's better than ange on it yeah

<:RosThink:826566635313299466> actly haven’t seen much Hool usage, is she really...
Ho'olheyak as a standalone is a laneholder among Casters for the duration of S3 but any normal player can just use better ops for that and even among Casters she's generally worse than Dusk at it.
You can also repurpose her as a DPS by splitboxing so she hits one enemy with 2 tornadoes for 3k DPS but you rarely hit that number on bosses due to levitate immunity. She does really well as a DPS against large bosses even without levitate if you can find a tile for her.
As a Casterknights player myself however I almost exclusively bring her for her range. She's not a bad Caster imo but definitly not among the top.
scarlet mortar

im having a problem with the stratgey expansion task in trials for navigator, i have 7 ops deployed when the mission finished but it doesnt complete, does it require having 7 ops deployed the entire time?
eternal idol
so each map switch iu have to have 7 ops deployed, but do those same 7 ops have to stay on the map the entire run
or do i just have to have 7 ops deployed inbetween map transitions every time the map swaps

@timid acorn @scarlet mortar thx for the vids and the info. Always nice to see how better players solve problems. On the topic of caster knights tho, comparison of Carne and Lin?
tidal sedge
Can someone remind me of Damazti's definition of isolated op is for the instant kill attack
tidal sedge
8 tiles. So that's why it hit ExFed
Huh. Spectacular Damazti hits a lot lighter than I expected
My Exfed dropped to 100 def and his hp still stayed healthy the whole fight
quick pecan
Huh. Spectacular Damazti hits a lot lighter than I expected
yeah seems like a pushover tbh
tidal sedge
Maybe I got lucky with s2 dodges too
old arch
Hi guys, so. I don't want to bust out that "Is it just me or" and "Am I the only one who".
But like, R8-8?!?
Is it just me or is it insanely hard.
I can't figure out for the life of me how to do it. I deploy Meteor who can't reach the drones, or if I deploy her closer she dies to lasers.
tidal sedge
R8-8 isn't an uncommon roadblock. It plays a lot differently from normal maps
sly drift
Huh. Spectacular Damazti hits a lot lighter than I expected
For some reason damazti tfn is easier than whatever the hell they put in h12
tidal sedge
It's actually pretty slow paced once you understand it
old arch
I deploy Platinum who can take out the first drone, but then I have to recall her and then I don't have time before the jetpackers kill me anyway.
And Talulah keeps eating lasers if I keep her safe by boxing her in...
tidal sedge
Slow charge ops like Plat don't like redeploying unfortunately
old arch
Hmm.
So I assume I have to kill the boxes/drones/clear the rooms in a counterclockwise fashion.
I can't quite figure out how to do it in time.
tidal sedge
That's the common way.
old arch
The drones are also arts resistant so I assume casters won't work as well.
Hence my reliance on Meteor/Platinum.
tidal sedge
If you're inclined to borrow, Goldenglow or helidrop nukes that hit air are common carries
weak gazelle
uhmm
its talulah escort map right?
old arch
Oh, is this a stage that necessitates um.
tidal sedge
Yes
old arch
Borrowing? 😭
Yeah arkhy. I've been stuck for the past... 30 minutes lol.
Unlike Patriot, I actually am not making progress toward figuring out my wincon kinda.
I'm just as stuck as first attempt.
ornate pond
tex alt can solo it
weak gazelle
platinum used on the left side with bait to kill 2 ufo
tidal sedge
It doesn't necessitate it, but it's a lot easier with one
old arch
platinum used on the left side with bait to kill 2 ufo
She can only take out one UFO. 😦
gray stone
Isn't this map just "kill drones or be killed"
weak gazelle
sorry typo
left side
tidal sedge
I am pretty sure low rarity can do it but it's not something someone new-ish would probably figure themselves
old arch
They're also all positioned in such a way where like.
If I deploy, they're within laser range
I tried + Gummy but Gummy dies too.
ornate pond
who do u have?
tidal sedge
They have 800 def and 50 res btw
old arch
Oh my god.
gray stone
Most would recommend you borrow something that can kill the drones
weak gazelle
wait
lemme ss my clear
gimme a min
gray stone
Something Mlynar mayhaps, or is SA range actually matters here
old arch
Most would recommend you borrow something that can kill the drones
Hmm. So I'd need to find an Exusiai friend..
ornate pond
mlynar or tex alt are best borrows
tidal sedge
Exu doesn't like 800 def stuff
old arch
LOL.
tidal sedge
Oh that's a bigger Plat than I expected
tidal sedge
The map is a lot slower than it looks
old arch
Oh.
Okay so I'm trying to do as much thinking independently as possible. But I would like to ask for tips.
tidal sedge
SA can actually wipe all the drones even after repeated redeploys, but that requires knowing the map pretty well
and he's a dated dps
old arch
To incentivize the Doctor to move Talulah, each room will have jetpackers spawn and move into the blue boxes.
Meaning I can deploy DPS units to take them out, but I'd need enough for... however many rooms.
I could constantly (re)deploy Meteor/Platinum, but that takes time, though once I deal with the jetpacker threat, I should be fine.
tidal sedge
Your Plat should be able to snipe 2 drones. A starting and one of the middle patrolling ones
foggy grove
moduled meteor can shred
tidal sedge
Theres only 1 spawning drone
foggy grove
tidal sedge
Once s2 kicks in yeah
old arch
Hmm. So I would deploy Gummy to the left of your Saria then?
tidal sedge
Er, right*
tidal sedge
Gummy died?
tidal sedge
Were 2 ufos bombing her? She should survive handily if only 1 ufo is hitting her
old arch
Oh. Is that why.
Okay so this is a bit unintuitive to me.
But why clear left first?
Left is lowest priority since I have more time.
And it's symmetrical so it shouldn't matter.
Also I died before I got to higher mob count so idk what happens further down the mission.
tidal sedge
The ufos attack only every 5 seconds, so if only 1 ufo bombs her she should get s1 off every hit which should keep her healthy
Wrt Gummy
weak gazelle
i use april there to delete top right drone
drone spawn 1 or 2 idr and they are slow
so give you enough time to kill top right drone
frd are important too to kill jetpack dudes
old arch
Yep Gummy is donezo.
To elaborate, I deployed Meteor where Amiya is, to kill that drone on top. Then I deployed Myrrh to heal her.
Then Meteor started shooting the box, so I uhhh... picked her back up.
ivory nimbus
this first setup
Holy Saintess bless my mortally eyes. What in the earth is this map?
old arch
Now I deployed Platinum and Gummy there to the left.
But you see they're both dying
Hmm. Maybe this one I do have to borrow, which I guess I'm willing to if it's impossible lol. 😭
But I'd like to go as far as I can by myself.
Platinum, once fully charged, can probably handle two drones.
But... she won't last. I was thinking of bringing in a Ptilopsis and deploying her north of Gummy, but I think she'd die too.
old arch
drop gummy where my nearl drop
so she only heal herself
Wait but then Platinum dies.
foggy grove
gummy should be taking the aggro
old arch
OH.
weak gazelle
so she dont waste her charge
old arch
OHHHHH.
WAIT.
?!?!
OH.
I see! I knew it was aoe but.
I see, she would soak the lasers by herself.
Omg.
Okay for some reason I thought Platinum would keep eating lasers.
Okay lemme do this alone again, thank you so much.
weak gazelle
haha
good, you learning
ivory nimbus
Are there any more tips on how to use Pinecone better? Like positioning and stuff? I want to maximize her usage in my team.
weak gazelle
nothing really
its the same as how to use chalter
mossy ore
is my man doing 4* only?
weak gazelle
the only different is only s1 usage
that require more attention
old arch
Okay so hmm. It's a bit better now.
I'm able to at least take out o the middle box.
So thing is.
I'm not sure. Haha.
Hmm. I don't have the dps to take out the new drone (the one on fire). Amiya died.
Myrrh couldn't outheal its lasers.
I'd need a second healer defender, imo.
That new drone on the top-right is a spawned one (the original one died).
ivory nimbus
is my man doing 4* only? <:SoraWow:649634512493346840>
No, I just like Pinecone's character, design, and her kit. Press delete button is fun.
weak gazelle
so the other task is kill the drones with counterclockwise order
frd are nice for this map
from red up to yato2
old arch
Yeah.. hmm. I probably will have to do that.
weak gazelle
i mean prio is kill top right drones after done with plat and gummy
old arch
So frds will tank the drones I'm assuming?
foggy grove
they can do a lot of things
weak gazelle
to kill the jetpack dudes
old arch
Oh oops.
foggy grove
breaking box,killing jetpack,taking some shot
rustic jewel
H11-4, can someone sum up the general strategy to beat it because the boss wipes out my team like toilet paper
weak gazelle
while pay attention to jetpack dudes
their spawn are time gated type
old arch
Yeah. Hmm.
That's why I may need to raise a frd unit, because I don't have the units to deal with them as they come.
I think(?).
Hmm.
No I have Deepcolor...
foggy grove
H11-4, can someone sum up the general strategy to beat it because the boss wipes...
steamknight triple punch is 2700 phys dmgx3
old arch
Her tentacles can probably handle it.
rustic jewel
Sweet Jesus
weak gazelle
that works too (summoner)
the only downside is they took your precious ranged tile in that map
old arch
Hmm. I see, you're right.
rustic jewel
Can anyone tank that much?
foggy grove
yeah hoshi or nian
foggy grove
lower rarity like cuora can if you give some helps like mousse
old arch
I also would need to recall Deepcolor in time to refresh my tentacles because she only has 7 with mod.
vivid rain
you dont necessarily have to tank the knight big stab thing you could just body swap for that attack
weak gazelle
e1 frd are enough tho
or if have agent (ines or canta) that works too
rustic jewel
Body swap?
vivid rain
bring multiple tanks so that you can swap a new one in whenever the previous one dies
foggy grove
you rotate his punching bag
rustic jewel
Ohhh
foggy grove
weak gazelle
cycle your blocker
vivid rain
for this trick to work well you're recommended to clear out the stage first (unless there's a killgate)
weak gazelle
constant -%atk would solve steamknight big punch tho
but doubt you find mousse user easily
vivid rain
mousse is a 4* so you can just e1 sl7 her easily
quick pecan
man my executor s1m3 isn’t done until 1am
vivid rain
why are you doing s1 mastery
quick pecan
because i can??
vivid rain
pro
weak gazelle
which executor?
ranged or melee one
quick pecan
ranged
rustic jewel
Should I use someone stronger than mousse or will that rush things in a bad way?
Cuz I know steam guy dishes out some punishments every 50%
quick pecan
shotgun on ranged one can reach aerial enemies
unlike melee🏃
oh i have exalt s3m3 too with mod3
but trying to continue with my 5* ops
cyan gorge
Should I use someone stronger than mousse or will that rush things in a bad way?
Mousse works cause of her atk debuff
quick pecan
don’t have enough lmd to e2 my firewatch
cyan gorge
without your blocker might not survive
weak gazelle
aware of steamknight other skill have a spesicific targetting?
rustic jewel
Will 3 spare defenders be enough?
weak gazelle
counting the boss skill cd and your redeploy time
should be enough
well i assume your defender are all e2
cyan gorge
Why sorted by redeploy
rustic jewel
Cuz maybe I could just bring 2
weak gazelle
if no, use mousse instead to back stab him just to keep -atk apply all the time
rustic jewel
Okay
weak gazelle
and dont forget
dont make mousse accidentaly block him
rustic jewel
So now I understand how to deal with steam hobo how do I deal with.. the maws
weak gazelle
who maws?
weak gazelle
ohh that one
sadly only dps is the answer, since that thing are dmg sponge anyway
vivid rain
just borrow exu
weak gazelle
huge range dmg dealer is probably better for this one
cyan gorge
I used Chetto to kill them
quick pecan
well actually steamknight def high af hmm
but well mlynar
rustic jewel
S2 or s3 exu? Idk if s3 will work all the time
cyan gorge
S3 does more damage, therefore better
rustic jewel
I’ve gotta line up the maws and the s3
weak gazelle
exu s3 require you to count her skill cycle to avoid waste skill on nothing
no issue with that then yeah can use her
vivid rain
honestly if you dont have enough dps to kill devourer in time just feed him gravel and kill him with your other dps
cyan gorge
Or just become a Chetto enjoyer
weak gazelle
mine use leizi which is weird choice and dont follow it
rustic jewel
Can they eat this?
foggy grove
yeah
cyan gorge
they eat summons so I would assume so
rustic jewel
Fk me
quick pecan
if they’re blocked they go nom nom
rustic jewel
But at least they don’t kill my nearl
cyan gorge
Do you just not have snipers or something? 
rustic jewel
I might borrow eyja 2 cause my healers are meh

is that a stage in chapter 12?

and we can try to fix it

ran through it and beat it with four stars second try
but this locked team is just way worse
why is exu s1?
rustic jewel
Ikr
strange hazel
lappland silence does nothing against the exploding enemies taking over gramophones
and there’s literally no way to ensure they don’t explode in gramophone range
every tile on their path except the blue box is close enough to one
I’ve tried working around the fact that I’ll just lose gramophones but then the golems run through
rustic jewel
I think they want us to sacrifice a gramophone
peak cloak
Nightingale couldn’t outheal it so nearl died
h11-4 exu timing, u deploy exu when the first enemy stop moving at around 0/38 or 1/38 kill count. i remember it's a perfect timing.
but not sure if your exu is m3 for sp cost.
but i feel like u are copying a guide from someone?
strange hazel
if i had a better exu skill id probably burst the exploders close enough to the first gramophone with phantom stalling them, and just let the other enemies go through to an actual choke point
actually that’s probably still the play
rustic jewel
No guides worked for me since they were all abyssal, hoshi e2, skalter, 100% maxed out 4 stars
Kyo guide was too long
But from what you guys said I’ll do the mousse Strat and exu start

As far as their offensive capabilities go, Carnelian S3 has more DPS than Lin S3 but Lin's ability to cancel her skill and her second talent greatly improving her cycle make her a lot more versatile. It doesn't make sense to compare any of the other skills since they're all very different in utility but it's worth mentioning that Carnelian S2 is still useful if you can't block for some reason. For Casterknights specifically S2 is her most commonly used skill.
As for their defensive capabilities even though they're both Phalanx Casters they have different use cases for tanking damage due to the nature of their survivability. Carnelian is more suited to tanking large amounts of damage (e.g. DBS fireballs) because of her heal and 3-4k HP on skill activation whereas Lin lives and dies by her shield. The former is very niche and Lin's talent in practice negating most sources of damage is generally a lot more useful.
TLDR Lin is still better than Carnelian in Casterknights
