does salter s3 work on enmity

#

or am i washed

scarlet mortar

should work

#

Boss died exactly on 6th shot out of 6 in video, EX cliff has +10 res and i don't know how much HP

scarlet mortar
#

abjurer range effects still apply to enmity, thry just can't heal them

wicked viper

EX cliff has ~50% more hp and atk

#

btw why doesn't typhon sometimes take dmg when she uses her s3?

#

saw that couple times in IS and now in a normal stage

glass monolith
#

Why should she take damage when using S3? DIE

deft badger
#

because target attacking her

smoky halo
#

maybe u have dodge relics

glass monolith
#

And i am fucking done with explaining to every IS player to check for dodge/shield relics

deft badger
#

it was out of IS now

#

cliff shot her she took 0 dmg xD

smoky halo
deft badger
#

its not the first time seeing it btw

smoky halo
#

vid?

glass monolith
#

What the fuck you did to have cliff attack her directly. Cliff under vent has -70% atk

deft badger
#

yesterday i was shooting UFOs in IS same thing happened

scarlet mortar
#

if she regains camo as you kill the stealth guy the shot will miss btw

deft badger
#

ok, what happened to cliffs shot then RedOmegaLul

scarlet mortar
#

i mean it happened on highmore, kroos and skalter by now

scarlet mortar
#

send a vid or sth

deft badger
#

didn't record it, just saw him turning shooting her but she didn't take dmg and he did even tp after that

glass monolith
#

You know he shoot only main target, everyone around it just stunned

deft badger
#

bro it was just her and him xd

#

he killed the rest lol

scarlet mortar
deft badger
#

i know that i am stupid sometimes, but i saw the animation and bullet going on to her

deft badger
scarlet mortar
#

yh

#

they're easy kills but it's worth keeping in mind ig

deft badger
#

the op that kills them gets camo?> or how does it work

scarlet mortar
#

no, the idea is that the targeteers will keep bombing you until he dies or leaks

#

so if you can't kill fast enough just leak

#

at least your other ops would be safe by regaining camo

deft badger
#

hmm, now i am confused.. i kinder remember them always bombing me nvm if i killed that dudes or not

scarlet mortar
#

uh yh bc the range of that scout is huge

#

like saria S2 range

deft badger
#

so he has to die, so that the UFOs don't hit me

scarlet mortar
#

the bush tiles are what give you camo

deft badger
#

have to try that out next time i see that map

#

ahhh ok

#

and there are 4 of them

#

ok i get it now

scarlet mortar
#

there're four around the blue box and two near the top right + bot left red boxes

deft badger
#

have to try that out, its like that one IS3 map with the miniboss
was always wondering why he sometimes shoots the ops in grass and then he just ignores them

scarlet mortar
#

mfs showed up in chapter 3 and from then on nearly everyone forgot they existed

#

until the occasional bush tile stage appears

Oh.. I want to set up eben nuke for second phase tho...

You may have some good results with shamare

If you wanna nuke the guy with eben

He needs to be in heat vent

shamare doesn't debuff res

novel pivot
scarlet mortar
#

uhhhhhh >eben nuke

#

what's the point then

novel pivot
#

They asked if they could do phase 1 with pozy and mlynar

So they could do eben p2 nuke

Mlynar is irreplaceable part of Eben nuke BlitzSmile

scarlet mortar

why? Does he has dmg reduction thingy like lone trail boss?

eben nuke 🔥

novel pivot

Vent reduces his def and atk

This boss don't have any damage reductions, he is just THICC ASS BOI

I tried using typhon

Outside of vent

i think penance max shield lives ex8

And then EX CM is just 11232 total damage, with 60% original CD HellaKek

You can get more out of penance

If he's in vent

i mean eun one-cycles p1

smoky halo

nuh uh imagine using mechanics and not brute forcing

novel pivot

Penance can get like

15k barrier or something

11k totl dmg is no sweat for her

glass monolith
novel pivot
#

I got to kill cliff in cm before he left here

#

in total only 1 vent was useful to me

#

Seems like i have to trigger p2 before he moves rightward though

#

Otherwise a grenadier spawns

#

For some reason

smoky halo
#

i should try ex stages now

scarlet mortar
#

wait bruh EX-8 has no killgate

#

you can just stall p1 cliff til morning come

#

this is so sad

novel pivot

The grenadier spawns

thank you

#

Any tips on cv ex 8?
This is my roster

glass monolith
#

My personal plan for EX-8 is wait for cliff to go to 2 vent lane and then just infinitely loop them with Ethan or something, while i sugarcoat other enemies with rest of roster

wicked viper
#

borrow mlynar

#

your roster doesnt have a lot of dps

#

place mlynar around here

#

boss will camp on the spot and mlynar can reach him without dying

#

use suzu s3 to amplify his dmg

scarlet mortar
#

funny answer: amiya S3 copege

#

in all honesty yh i don't see enough total damage for the remaining mobs

#

and viability aside i would not advise stalling cliff

remote perch
#

Dunno man
I just stalled cliff and kill him with other shit

Ofc I can't stall him forever but it should give you enough time to kill him in time

scarlet mortar
#

consider how their squad doesn't have shining, skalter and an E2 protector defender

#

and silene

remote perch

Oh him
Then ye, this won't work

This event is really fun, it's good to be back to an old school event where you don't need to read 30 lines of text to know what to do and I can just burst everything down with snipers again. Typhon is the MVP here by far since she obliterates his HP on both phases so Schwarz and Pozy are used more to kill the rest of the stage

Is Coldshot good/worth raising?

spark sinew
#

no

sick basin

I don't know this sniper archetype

turbid badge
#

no

sick basin
#

ah I see

spark sinew
#

archetype is fine? hard to say

#

coldshot is very bad

foggy grove
#

no no ray just make you think it's good

sick basin
#

what a shame, I thought the hunter archetype would be like the sniper version of Mystic Caster like Ebenholz

spark sinew
#

i mean they got big scaling baked into the archetype

sick basin
#

since they have some "ammo" mechanic that gives them high damage when loaded.

tropic valve
#

you probably don't want to raise Coldshot before a bunch of other 5* Snipers

tropic valve
#

all the 5* Marksmen will probably service you more than Coldshot, and if you want big DPH then go Provence or Andreana

spark sinew

the answer to coldshot is still "no" btw

hmm cm extra stats hit different on penance, can’t wait for her module, hate to see her barrier being broken

# turbid badge read

My current list of 5* snipers. I was raising coldshot to see what her 2nd skill is and thought her lack of damage was a mechanics issue and she needed more boost

are you 5* only player

#

def raise april before her regardless

sick basin
spark sinew
#

if you're not 5* player, there's no reason to raise lower rarities snipers anyway

Kroosalt for example is fucking great in is3

If I want to do a reliable 5* only team for all endings in IS3 and IS4, which ops should I raise? I wanted to consider 4* only teams/ops but that's a bigger struggle.

spark sinew

5* team won't clear ed4 is3

sick basin
#

I'm asking because 6* and the hope costs of hiring/e2ing in high Ascensions is pain

spark sinew

well it can but you probably just gonna reset for relics

6* are still the way to go in high ascension in both is3 and 4

bruuuuh

oh servers are down

also, firewhistle, is she good?

if you gonna draft 5*, you won't have hope for 6 stars though

and power difference is big

some of the most consistent starters are straight up 6s

gavialter uses s2 in all but two stages

the remark about just borrowing still applies

sick basin
#

many times A15 runs ended because the ops I wanted were 1 hope away and I had enough to get a 5* op that had a similar niche, but I didn't get them in hopes that I get enough hope in the next chance to get it/another good 6* again

limpid siren
#

this is about IS3 right?

3/4, supposedly

spark sinew

they all suck and you're better off just skipping them sometimes you can pick some 5* but even then you would be doing very hard compromises

# spark sinew because 5* kinda suck

you need to provision the hope

mayer is better than scene in IS3, and summoners are just kinda meh in IS4

spark sinew
#

i disagree with puzzle being good but i used him like twice and he was super...wonky? to play compared to two other agents, which is kinda my point

limpid siren
#

i think i'd always pick canta over puzzle in IS

spark sinew
#

i am speaking as someone who has a roster to just rarity abuse though (but i also assume you have as well)

#

puzzle is just awkward yeah

sick basin
#

So firewhistle, should I build herß

#

?

limpid siren
#

i think puzzle is awkward if you think of him as an agent, but good if you think of him as a charger

spark sinew
#

do you have horn

weak gazelle
#

throw puzzle out of your ship
he is a disgrace to agent archetype

glass monolith
#

I like Firewhistle, almost 1000 arts dot because you cute can't be bad

limpid siren
#

arkhy throwing hands

spark sinew
#

although the answer is probably "no" still, personally i would rather cope ashlock buffing

sick basin
limpid siren

ngl

#

drafting some 5*s is going to make that problem worse

weak gazelle
#

i try puzzle once and immidietly regret it
he is same lvl garbage with minimalist and windflitHellaHands

spark sinew
#

i mean go try to use ashlock/firewhistle instead of horn

limpid siren
#

which is what hauckindu is trying to say

hollow forum
#

I'm starting to see that you're just having problems with hope management more than anything else tbh

sick basin
#

surprisingly enough, I get the "5* ops -2 hope to recruit and upgrade" relic more times than 6* and even 4* in my IS3/4 runs

spark sinew
#

you will still die because they can't do the same job without extensive support

limpid siren
#

ashlock and firewhistle very genuinely barely scrape by in D15

#

i mean it when i say you'll probably wish you hadn't drafted them

sick basin
spark sinew
#

Just in case, i raised my fair share of bad 5*https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/Hauckindu
even stuff like tequila is usually drafted when you're really desperate

but does she compliment horn when I have both?
no, she will get in the way and waste a slot

#

and hope

limpid siren
#

they're just going to steal horn's second ticket DelaceySleep

sick basin
#

damn, I was really hoping firewhistle + horn and proper placement can make a "fuck you" zone in IS D15 like against the boss

spark sinew
#

just uhhh, drop shamare doll or smth

#

or do the usual typewriter/schwarz def debuff and two cycle the Highmore (with redeploying)

limpid siren
#

firewhistle's damage vs the boss is very anemic at D15

#

ashlock's is too

hollow forum
spark sinew
#

while we're at it, to continue the original topic, April is actually useful in is3 as well

#

although you won't draft her because of ticket shortage anyway

now I'm going to also add erato to the list

Reasons to level up - More damage
Reasons to not level up - Abuse boss for longer DocSmile

limpid siren
#

tbh main reason to level up is to give her more hp for if she ever gets hit

#

but she shouldn't get hit DelaceySleep

sick basin
#

insted of e2?

#

I'm guessing abuse boss for longer so you can take care of the other mobs?

spark sinew
#

well e2 in IS costs hope

limpid siren
#

there's just no major benefit to promoting her beyond e1

spark sinew
#

but also she doesn't scale her sleep duration beyond sl7

limpid siren
#

erato is just a sleep bot

#

you'd have to be playing like full 5* only to care about her damage output

sick basin
spark sinew
#

do that if you want

sick basin
#

so just utility, nothing more?

spark sinew
#

mine is e2 50, but there's hardly any reason to bother

sick basin
#

and I'm guessing M3 is not worth the hope cost?

spark sinew
#

check what she gains from m3

#

no sp reduction, no sleep duration 🚮

#

she's kinda like kafka in that regard

#

the main problem with raising her is that you might be tempted to give her the module

#

which would just rob you from your module blocks

sick basin
limpid siren
#

sleep is an exception to that general rule

#

it's too disruptive to make it any better with mastery

#

the upshot is that you usually get the "full package" with very little investment into the unit

scarlet fulcrum
#

Only Blacknight duration improved with mastery iirc

Is there a stage you are having problems with?

ivory leaf
scarlet fulcrum
#

FW start based

ivory leaf
heady sphinx
#

Seems like you are investing a lot of your resources on some higher tiered ops. have you been upgrading your base also?

scarlet fulcrum
#

Firewatch

ivory leaf
#

Sometimes I do

#

I keep forgetting to upgrade my base

#

Btw what's more better for fw first or second skill

#

Can't seem to choose between the two

heady sphinx
#

I wouldn't neglect it so much. its a passive way of getting lmd and xp.

#

for FW, typically its s1

#

as for your team comp, my usual recommendation is raise a few 3 stars, since they can clear out like 80% of the game for a cheap price, and slowly replace them with higher rarity when you can.

ivory leaf
#

I have raised steward Kroos lava Matterhorn click

#

Is should I go for Jaye and gravel?

heady sphinx
#

Jaye and gravel are excellent units to have

ivory leaf
#

Any more recommendations?

heady sphinx
#

I'd move away from matterhorn, use any of the 3 star defenders. they do the job well enough for a fraction of the investment

astral cosmos
#

ashlock is an interesting pick...

ivory leaf
heady sphinx
ivory leaf
#

Yeah I like artillery so that's why I placed ashlock

#

For chip and aoe damage as well:}

astral cosmos
#

that's fair
she isn't bad anyway

#

just...not popular

ivory leaf
heady sphinx
#

both serve different purposes

astral cosmos
#

they do different things

ivory leaf
astral cosmos
#

firewhistle is if you needs arts damage on your fortress defender
ashlock is if you need punctual bursts

heady sphinx
#

fire whistle is aoe arts, ashlock is physical.

astral cosmos
ivory leaf
#

Well that's all I have I can't be picky with that

astral cosmos
#

then again that is a lot of high rarity ops
though I reckon building 3* and 4* has been mentioned already

ivory leaf
#

High star = good

astral cosmos
#

which isn't necessarily the case in arknights

#

there are garbage 5*

ivory leaf
#

Just realised that 3 and 4 stars units aren't useless when I joined the server

astral cosmos
#

yeah, it forces you to think a bit differently

#

then again, 5* are just a heterogenous mix of worthless, bad, good, niche and decent operators
it's pretty random really

ivory leaf
#

Also

astral cosmos
#

you can use a randomiser that picks one random 5* from the pool and be playing darts blindfolded
it's all the same

ivory leaf
#

When should I start replacing my 5-6 stars?

astral cosmos
#

right now

ivory leaf
#

It's under maintenance-

astral cosmos
#

3* and 4* are usually for when you start the game (sprinkled with a few good higher rarity ops)
only then do you start building more and more higher rarity ops

#

because farming in early game is very tedious

ivory leaf
#

Anyways I'll keep my team like that for now

#

I'll focus on my base

#

Then my units

#

It's not bad right?

astral cosmos
#

your squad isn't that bad

ivory leaf
#

Yippie

astral cosmos
#

but since you're in early game, focus on base first

#

then good low rarity ops

#

then 5* and such

ivory leaf
#

Alrighty

limpid siren
#

Ashlock’s 0 block during s2 hasn’t really been useful lately

#

So firewhistle is just more versatile

ivory leaf
#

Hm

#

Too much info

#

Can't store in such a small brain

limpid siren
#

Ashlock is too specific

civic bear
#

fw aoe is really nice too

ivory leaf
#

But hey it's not bad aswell

#

Just need a pinch of luck

civic bear
#

wat

#

firewhistle bro

ivory leaf
#

Oh

#

I thought firewatch

civic bear
ivory leaf
#

Lul

#

Anyways

spark sinew
#

oh yeah a lot of your units you could cut rn

#

fw ashlock noir are...fine i suppose, but i doubt they'll help you much

red cosmos
#

I need handhold for EX 8, normal and cm

#

spark sinew
#

don't forget about the medal

heady sphinx
#

Anyway, @ivory leaf just get a few 3 stars, and focus on base. once you get that built, you will start generating lmd and xp which makes your life easier in the long run when you start upgrading higher rarity units

#

click, jaye, and gravel would be 4 *s worth raising afterwards

ivory leaf
#

Yippie

#

Okehh

#

I did some Few runs before I go to sleep

#

Night yall have a nice night or day grinding

jovial nest
#

Just curious. What skill would you default when thinking of using Mag
Cause i feel like if I would bother to use Mag, it'd be about her S1

scarlet mortar
#

depends

#

in an endgame general squad, S1

#

for solos, ofc S3

jovial nest
#

well that's the thing about solos

scarlet mortar
#

for her IS4 monthly, S2 sweep

ornate siren
#

what are the delay frames for cliffs stun as he locks onto someone

jovial nest
#

its either ground Ling S3

ornate siren
#

because the last thing i want is not having time to onskill

jovial nest
#

or Mag potentially soloing CA-5 (only this specifically)

#

because it might be better to use Ling's S2 in more general maps

scarlet mortar
#

mag's invis mod has a decent share of use tbh, too bad you only have to do her IS4 monthly once

#

it's a pretty cracked option to have in the kind of limited roster environment IS has

#

also S2 is funny

#

she almost manages khagan solo dps with it

ivory nimbus
#

What's the strat for medal trim? I have more headaches dealing with the Sniper flood on the left lane than Cliff himself (minus the annoying medal requirements).

karmic glade
#

do you know the medal is mistranslated?

ivory nimbus
#

I do.

glass monolith
#

I know. Silvergun pinned my comment about it RedOmegaLul

karmic glade
#

lin takes 0 damage from them

glass monolith
ivory nimbus
#

I don't see how that's relevant, tbh.

foggy grove
#

lin got smoked HazeSmug

karmic glade
#

there is a killgate at 20 or so, only when you defeat p1 would more mobs come, just let cliff go to bottom right before you start p2

#

and just like typhon him or something

deft badger
ivory nimbus
#

I did just that while figuring the stage out. The main issue is really just the horde of Snipers on the left lane that do me in.

deft badger
#

do u have eyja?

#

just put her in the left corner she will kill them all s2

ivory nimbus
#

I do have an E1 maxed Eyja.

ivory nimbus
#

I'll definitely gonna need to readjust some stuff to accommodate for Eyja new position.

deft badger
#

can u show me the squad u have?

spark sinew
#

how big is cliff's range actually

deft badger
#

2 tiles ?

ivory nimbus
brave sun
#

anyone got a way to burst down cliff 2x durign first vent?

deft badger
#

use typhon to kill him

#

when he is low activate vents he doesn't have to die to the vent

#

1st kill on top lane 2nd mid lane

spark sinew
#

oh, his "ranged" attack can't target anything other than his blocker it seems

ivory nimbus
#

That erroneous translation really does a number on the player base, huh.

spark sinew
#

cm is harder than the medal

brave sun
#

lmao thanks

deft badger
brave sun
#

i was like need to die to the vent

deft badger
spark sinew
#

i just stalled him, no need to burst him in one vent

deft badger
#

its not didn't even have to time anything

#

dude struggles hard with spalter xD

spark sinew
#

is this cm

sullen rover
#

just dont use vents and ceobe

deft badger
#

yes he gets stuck on to her and keeps shooting her like

#

that went on for like a min

spark sinew
#

uhuh

#

ok yeah, mly is terrible smh

void terrace
#

The ex is so much easier then cv 8☠️

deft badger
#

mlynar does like non dmg to him

#

if he isn't under vent -.-

void terrace
#

Cliffs pathing is so forgiving

spark sinew
#

cv8 cliff literally stays in ceobe's range

foggy grove
#

there is vent on his every path yeah

spark sinew
#

his pathing is way worse in ex

void terrace
#

You can just crub stomp him on the first vent tho

karmic glade
#

just mostima it so that he stay in range artificially

#

perfect range BlitzSmile

spark sinew
#

although it's mainly ex higher stats that make it harder ig

earnest geode
#

Indeed

spark sinew
#

hard to judge the map itself in diff

earnest geode
#

Use hoshi to block the boss

#

And bring medics

deft badger
#

did cm with this...

#

but i don't think that u actually even need that many ops

earnest geode
#

I use 10 tho

#

Mainly medics

#

Plus skalter borrowed

spark sinew
#

spalter X module

#

earnest geode
spark sinew
#

oh hoshi tanks cm cliff with that?

earnest geode
#

Yes

spark sinew
#

oh i keep forgetting reedic debuffs atk

deft badger
#

was about to ask how did she survive 😄

earnest geode
#

Easy for her on boss phase 1 tho

#

Doesn’t need too much medics

#

Use saria to block the left lane

#

While blaze hold the middle

void terrace
#

Time to pennance cm mode

earnest geode
#

And hoshi block the boss and some bombardier at top

spark sinew
#

the answer is no

deft badger
shell arch
#

Could someone do me a favor and check if shining s2 shield will get reduced dmg taken with the operators' def?

#

Hauckindu I haven't even sent it ReedBean

earnest geode
#

I m3 her s2 tho

#

U mean just her skill only?

shell arch

I have reading comprehension issue. Nick are you referring to my question? HellaKek

Reading issue too

deft badger

Just treat it like hp bar extension

well he died and didn't even make it to the middle lane

Oh so it's also affected by def? Thanks!

S2m3 p6 lvl90 maxtrust phy Y gives 425 shield

But how much phy dmg can s2m3 phy x tank?

why are you calcing this anyway

earnest geode
shell arch
#

I'm wondering whether should I cope phy x mod3 or do her phy y mod3

#

I'm thinking of mod6ing shining either way

spark sinew
#

you should skip both

shell arch
#

Too late. Already mod3 GoldenglowSad

vernal lion
shell arch
earnest geode
#

Hold on

shell arch
#

While phy x s2m3 sounds like more tanky against physical dmg

earnest geode
#

Haven’t completed the side quest yetHellaKek

shell arch
#

That's fine. I'll do it myself then HellaKek

#

Thanks fam

earnest geode
#

No problem

vernal lion
heady sphinx
#

I always suggest phy x for shining anyway. passive +140 defense +15% healing on ground units is more appealing to me anyway

spark sinew
#

aak on rangeds is kinda whatever though isn't he

vernal lion
#

Skalter and Shining mod3 are enough for GG to tank Aak

shell arch
#

Phy x mod3 is 105(+5) to allied def, 40 additional def to ground allies

vernal lion
#

yea I'm talking about phy x

shell arch
#

Since my shining is p6, is it 105 or 110 def to ranged allies? ReedBean

spark sinew
#

can just use skalter solo or silencer instead of shining

vernal lion
#

since I also use other mod, because it's useful too

spark sinew
#

actually we could probably use eyjalter as well

vernal lion
shell arch
heady sphinx
#

its pot only gives +5 defense

#

doesn't scale with module

shell arch
#

Yep. I'm kinda confused with how talent upgrade from pots works RedOmegaLul

vernal lion
#

the pot stat is same as base stat, it's flat

heady sphinx
#

talent upgrades adds flat numbers to whatever talent it effects

#

doesn't scale with modules

astral cosmos
#

the perfect corro tile blitzSmile

heady sphinx
#

I really want to build Corro with module

#

seems like an interesting concept

shell arch
#

I forgor but is my shining attack 610 or 690?

vernal lion
#

it's all about that you have money to pay for all the build

astral cosmos
#

610

#

bonuses are already applied

heady sphinx
#

wait, did I read that worng

astral cosmos
#

I mean

heady sphinx
#

no, I read that right

astral cosmos
#

what's displayed on the left always takes into account all bonuses no?

vernal lion
#

you see that blue square? that's what her current mod you picking right now

heady sphinx
#

he has shinings default badge selected

#

so 610

astral cosmos
#

ye

shell arch
#

So 610 is modless atk with trust bonus already applied?

heady sphinx
#

if he equips the mody, its 670 since mod gives +60 att

heady sphinx
#

trust is always displayed

shell arch
#

I'm kinda confused with the interface in general RedOmegaLul

#

Thanks

heady sphinx
#

what the interface shows is base numbers. trust, mods, and pots affect base numbers

spark sinew
#

btw

#

you definitely should s1m3

#

go go

vernal lion
#

do you get jealousy

shell arch
#

So if I'm taking this right;

Shining pot6 lvl90 maxtrust
0 def ally

Phy x mod3 gives 425 shield, capable to take 425 + 97 = 532 physical damage

Phy y gives 335 shield, capable to take
Ranged allies: 335 + 158 = 493 physical damage
Ground allies: 335 + 218 = 543 physical damage

Could someone double check me?

spark sinew
#

amigo is using bad art

#

so no

shell arch
#

Wdym bad art, shining summer skin is PEAK

#

:CeobeCU

vernal lion
#

s1m3 with mod3 phy y
her attack animation is funny lol

shell arch
#

Wow there's only like 11 less dmg taken difference between phy x and y ReedBean

vernal lion
shell arch
#

I think I'm gonna cry for doing her phy y

vernal lion
#

phy x is more about skill usage tho

#

s2 gets more atk, s3 gets sp charging faster

shell arch
#

Naga that's phy x

#

I mistook it as phy y as well

vernal lion
#

oh yea, phy x

shell arch
vernal lion
#

you just begin this

shell arch
#

Yeah mb

#

So phy x is better mod than phy y

#

Unless if you somehow want 80 additional def to ground ops

#

Which further gets amplified by s3m3

vernal lion
#

phy y is only good if you pair her with Skalter

#

it gets additional buff

shell arch
#

Good point

#

But only if skalter is on her range

vernal lion
#

that always matters anyway

heady sphinx
#

I always liked phy x with skalter anyway

shell arch
#

So has someone wrote a thesis about why phy x shining and not phy y shining? RedOmegaLul

heady sphinx
#

makes skalter give +60 defense on top of her base

shell arch
#

Because if there wasn't, I'm gonna write it DocSmile

vernal lion
#

but if I play for real, I can just use phy x because she can solo heal with s2

heady sphinx
#

so ground units end up getting +200 defense

vernal lion
spark sinew
shell arch
heady sphinx
#

S2 bonus attack I don't think is worth it, and S3 goes from 120 cd to 75 cd, which is significant, but if you need s3 id just heli drop

shell arch
#

Skalter also further buff allied with her buffed def from shining

heady sphinx
#

exactly

deft badger
#

typhon dies to aak -.-

#

i am sad

spark sinew
#

why would you aak typhon...

heady sphinx
#

s2m3 skalter gives 60% of her att and def to everyone, which includes that +100

spark sinew
#

see, this is what i'm talking about Bnuuy
even if you could, that's just not something you would want

shell arch
#

In conclusion, i think:
Phy x is more of solo shining that's generally good while phy y needs a demanding situation to be better than phy x

vernal lion
shell arch
#

The demanding situation being bringing skalter RedOmegaLul

vernal lion
#

that liskarm is still e1

astral cosmos
#

didn't know res drones could be silenced ReedBean
starting to like corro more and more in this event

astral cosmos
#

heady sphinx
vernal lion
#

if you want gif

shell arch
#

NOOO

#

STOP

shell arch
#

Wait so uh

vernal lion
#

everyone just got confused about mod tho

shell arch
#

Phy x + s2 gets better with skalter s2?

spark sinew
#

there's 0 chance lisk tanks ed2 anyway Bnuuy

earnest geode
spark sinew
#

shining or no shining

vernal lion
#

phy x is skill buff
phy y is flat def buff

heady sphinx
spark sinew
#

and on d0 ansel beagle? i think tank Bnuuy

shell arch
#

The confusion started because i mistook which one is x and y, so my bad RedOmegaLul

vernal lion
heady sphinx
vernal lion
#

and starting from d10, everything hits like a truck

heady sphinx
#

dyslexia moment on my part, sorry for the confusion

vernal lion
spark sinew
#

yeah the e1 lisk wouldn't tank regardless

vernal lion
#

because she has only 480 def

spark sinew
#

and on d0 she should tank without shining

vernal lion
#

and even you pick s1, she won't proc

shell arch
# heady sphinx I consider the opposite of this. Phy y (flat buff) better then x in most situati...

Let me reiterate:
Phy x gives 15% additional heal to both ranged and ground allies when their hp is less than half

Phy y heals 15% additional hp to ground allies unconditionally

Phy x gives s2 +15% atk, which is more heal per second. Phy y does not give atk

Phy x s2m3 can tank more against phy dmg vs phy y s2m3 (ranged allies)
Phy x s2m3 tank 11 less physical dmg against phy y s2m3 (ground allies)

Phy x s3m3 has 75s skill downtime which is enough to be covered with nian s2m3 as opposed to phy y s3m3 with 120s skill downtime that requires 2 external def buffs to cover the downtime

#

Sounds like phy x is more universal than phy y

#

Phy y is strictly for:
Sustaining ground allies
Bring skalter

Phy x is for:
Sustaining both ground and ranged allies
No skalter for maximum efficiency

spark sinew
#

so bring y only

shell arch
#

I'd rather bring x for its universal perk rather than y

spark sinew
#

i think you would only need to sustain rangeds if you misposition

#

but yeah i only read the last message

shell arch
#

Yep, but there are some cases where your ranged allies can't avoid getting chipped

spark sinew
#

then it's probably aoe and shining is the wrong choice anyway, no

shell arch
#

True RedOmegaLul

vernal lion
#

I hope the 2nd mod for Ifrit will be lowering the cost and more res debuff

#

it will be very good for afk

heady sphinx
shell arch
#

At its core, you bring medics for their utilities, not their heals

So to maximize shining utility, phy y

And phy x is good for its universal perks and more heal to both ground and ranged allies alike

spark sinew
#

at its core aka in 99% of content you don't bring medics outside of healing a shitton or them dealing shitton of damage i thought

shell arch
vernal lion
#

Quercus mod is just busted

heady sphinx
shell arch
#

But phy x has the edge of 425 shield against arts/true dmg as opposed to phy y with 335 shield against arts/true dmg

#

90 less dmg mitigation. Bigger than shining phy y def improvement DocSmile

spark sinew
#

just use like stainless or smth

#

i'll be honest idr how typhon scales with +atk

shell arch
#

So after calculating chungus mod dmg, i jumped in the rabbit hole and did shining calc and hoshi calc

Is this how every math nerd start looks like? ReedBean

spark sinew
#

buffing atkspd on s3 doesn't seem too great though

shell arch
#

Unfortunately I'm bad at math so I'm no nerd

spark sinew
#

you're just a bad nerd

#

a nerd nonetheless

shell arch
#

B-but you need to be good to be a nerd

heady sphinx
shell arch
#

True, shining bad!! Just use nightingale!!!

#

I can't wait for the sequel when HG released NG 2nd mod RedOmegaLul

heady sphinx
#

Plus, 100% uptime on physical damage mitigation

shell arch
spark sinew
#

does this matter outside of uhhh

shell arch
#

But

  1. 90 less dmg mitigation is not gamechanging
  2. No one in their right mind would s2m3 shining
spark sinew
#

shining tower

shell arch
#

Nah we're just nerding around

heady sphinx
#

I use shining skalter combo, which is + 200 Def all around which is very nice, other then that, I use good ol ansel

shell arch
shell arch
#

I mean phy x also has basic 60 extra def

heady sphinx
#

Which is 80 less then y

shell arch
#

Yep, but that doesn't make it 100% uptime on physical dmg mitigation RosThink

heady sphinx
#

It mitigates 80 physical damage per attack?

shell arch
#

Yep but again, i don't think it's right to call it as "100% uptime on physical dmg mitigation"

Phy y shrimply has 80 extra def compared to phy x HellaKek

#

100% uptime is like uh

Uh

Instant permanent skill like s2 mountain with gaul bank check

#

Or like metastatic balze s2 on is3 deep investigation (80 initial sp for metastatic operators. Balze s2m3 sp req is 70)

flat sapphire
#

Every op has def and def mitigates physical dmg but it doesn't mean they have 100% uptime phys dmg mitigation

spark sinew
#

why wouldn't this count in shining's case

flat sapphire
#

Just

#

Call it extra def?

#

Coz that's all it is

#

Idk

vernal lion
#

shining only fails if the dmg is higher than her healing, that's all

spark sinew
#

yeah it's kinda both

#

because of how defense works

flat sapphire
#

The problem is we have actual dmg mitigation in the form of stuff like shelter

alright well the biggest issue for me in this event are unironically the drones

the dude who made that op was lazy af probably RedOmegaLul
that talent doesn't make sense...

flat sapphire
glass monolith
deft badger
#

it doesn't make sense to me to give a op a talent like this, its like ok that op has to have two talents lets give her something

#

just make her atk faster on e2 and don't even name it if u are to lazy to make a proper talent for it

spark sinew
#

actually i never noticed

#

it's only 6* tacticians that have 25 seconds huh

#

4 and 5* are 15 seconds, wtf

flat sapphire
heady sphinx
#

Shining is an older op. Most of the older ops have simpler talents compared to what we get now.

glass monolith
#

At least with Mumu it makes sense - you need to spend those 25 seconds to process your skill issue HellaKek

echo herald
deft badger
#

like this skill... how many ops have it couple of them
just going to call it lazy

flat sapphire
#

Mumu's have good stats so she's ok 👍

heady sphinx
#

I wouldn't call it lazy, but rather an evolution on what talents use to be

spark sinew
#

mumu has utility

heady sphinx
#

Modules correct some of these issues with older ops

spark sinew
#

what's the most verbose talent in the game, actually

deft badger
#

i guess mumu xD

vernal lion

mostly old op just has talent that only gives stat buff

#

are lords going to get mods at a point?

spark sinew
#

yes

#

i mean you're only asking because thorns is a lord, aren't you

deft badger
#

i guess u know me to well 😄

#

yes wanna know if i can use my thorns in the future again

#

not only i would like to see QB do some more dmg on AA as well

glass monolith
#

Frostleaf with module with sugarcoat Thorn by beign 3x4 range on deploy and negate/increase attack speed bullshit

spark sinew
#

yeah i know you have bad taste

vernal lion
#

lord mod would be like ranged attack is no more dealt less dmg, then talents and skills get upgraded too

deft badger
#

that would be fine by me

spark sinew
#

almost everyone ignores ranged attack penalty

#

it would be horrible

deft badger
#

would still be 20% more dmg on range

vernal lion
#

and someone still thinks ranged attack on lord is bad

#

that's why they will remove the dmg losing on mod

#

there's a lot of lord suffering from lacking dmg

spark sinew
#

auto attacks are not really relevant

#

you won't even notice it

#

and it won't matter on skills

vernal lion
#

it's still, you just be bad

spark sinew
#

lol lmao

vernal lion
#

aint you

cosmic thicket
vernal lion
#

skill removing the dmg penalty is a must

#

imagine if it still be like that

cosmic thicket
#

i wouldn't be opposed to the lord mod being "skills do +10% damage"

spark sinew
#

i really hope you're joking

vernal lion
#

yes

glass monolith
#

Most lords skills: Remove range penalty
QB: Remove enemy existing

vernal lion
#

you see, other guard archetype just got dmg buff

spark sinew
#

even that 5* lord removes it

vernal lion
#

like Centurion one

#

it gets 10% more dmg

glass monolith
#

(Looks on Aciddrop gaining DEF and redeploy time)

vernal lion
#

Swordmaster gets dmg buff on skill too

#

and not too say, there will be at least 2 mods
