yeah, and it also stacks with saria and reedic
it's a totally independent multiplier
thats nice
Boss is so overtuned people are legit overlapping 2-4 different buffs/debuffs at once.
sounds balanced
my roster aint beating DOS A-3, can it
I one tile melted the boss with saria S3 + reedic + suzu + volcano with ceobe
the boss is softer than the goddamn elites in 3rd stage iterations
i could try raising honeyberry as an alternative for eyja alter for A-3
this is a candidate to replace CC, but it is even shittier than POO
i mean
Good news, it doesn't stick around 😄
this was supposed to be the event's MAX risk.
i'm not sure i am seeing it with this squad
it's not even close to CC levels
amyia s3 don't even have masteries
and you don't have any of the e2's i have seen used
so add your buffs and get minus score
feater top lane, watch this
this is great event tho, its easier than CC
looks bleak
try a-2 instead
lulz, farming TfN
You cannot.
but community hates it sadly
speaking of bug is the Saga bug fixed in EN
unironically i think shaw is the best pusher in toplane bc of her talent maybe weedy s2m3 is better
Positive note. A3 + all T5 stages should put you at level 55. Level 56-65 are all 5k LMD.
locking reward behind giga inflated stats boss is just bad
I think its just that the community prefers you pick Risks VS using buffs that minus your score
thats a good point
well the "buffs" are like +0.15sp 
feels very shit
Plus the medals stop at A3 with no buffs.
ya
Saga used to be able to kill the boss when p1 die, and it make the boss trivial
its very sad they didnt give this another try, with better buffs
but like
yeah you don't have to clear S stage for max medals

just that you might not get far in milestone rewards
🤩
deals more dmg
you will get far in the milestone rewards
yes sir 200 more hp gonna kill him
the rewards trail off
its like killing cliff with vent dmg
🤩
after 55 they just decide to not think about reward and just give you pure lmd
killing boss with lava dmg medal when
25K total i think?
this one's decent....but the only enemy that takes lava damage is Meltr
less then half a days worth of lmd kek
it almost seems like unfinished content 
i mean.....what a surprise amirite? it's like they're trying to remake CC into a different concept
POO and then DoS
You can point the lave into the middle lanes.
they went with the POO route which i like
as long as they don't overinflate enemy HP
they overinflate hp AND atk this time 🤩
POO was honestly a good concept. Over 3 million health was not.
isnt there unlocking in cc too?
thank god there isn't a -90% or 1000% tag this time
or no
New CC is POO but like 6 months later.
fibri when event give lmd: useless
fibri when event give nothing: grind everyday for best relic combo
POO's dailies are actually innovative and sometimes a LOT of fun
but is fun

the concept of POO dailies having superbuffs and superrisks are nice
CC#2 is actually way easier, people can actually do max risk again
speak for yourself
Lol
yeah the 1p relay map was the most fun ive had in a while
Lib oppo
CC1 was max risked too iirc
no, the highest is without the HP tag, because it is a independent multiplier
ah
this is indeed a choice
unless theres new def down or atk up tags
lin shield wont brek
there is a def- tag coming up, no one knows what stat would it have
welp I'm going to do DoS when these releases. I'm finished for now since I cleared S-3
if its like -200 than lin is dead
shining lin tech time 🤩
supersonic cristmas tree on the loose :ya:
im stuck on a-3 everyones using goldenglow and spalter
Is gnosis going to be good in CC2
borrow ceobe instead 
I saw him used in a few clears
yeah, especially in guard specialist
Yeah, that's what I was thinking when looking at DOS. PO had managed to make the CC system with more dynamic choices, but DOS is a bit too plain
it's because the best solution is to IGNORE the mechanics (buffs that minus score)
and not crumbs
it's hilarious

DoS in my experience is basically
for best rewards and max clearing
I ignore 1 and 2
and ALL the buffs
yeah
its like a speedrun
it's VERY hilarious compared to how you use POO's systems and mechanics
it's like CC, but you don't unlock shit, just go straight to max risk and that's it
po replaces what made cc fun with bloat tbh not rly my thing
which will be a bad first impression
but ig you need bloat to justify increases dmg
thats why new CC1 and CC2 use POO's mechanics
even if they do they are like pls i just need to clear 3
except remove the bloat of MULTIPLE HP risks
and thats tragic
they have a good idea with POO. Just that they can't think of more risks other than more HP
well true ig i went straight to a-3
after being clapped for a few times i cleared a-2 first

as for me who actually plan to clear the 3rd iteration of DoS stages...
the issue is
you REALLY will not bother with 1 and 2
to avoid bad habits
that's fine by me
and get to learn with the risks
yea
its for ppl to try things out like fib
ignoring the event's mechanics is bad design
the boss clapped me hard, I'll need to make an actual strategy later
that's why I like POO (not max risk) and not DoS
its for ppl with weak rosters
ceobe can still solo the first phase, but the mechanics require thinking
what's the difference?
thats why no one liked LE mechanics. One of the best ways to do that event is to not use lasers at all
i wonder who else did 2 difficulties
like 1.5x more atk and hp for all the elites and boss

oh dang
like he has to figure out what he needs to borrow
instead of me who just want a 13th op
oyuki did guide for s2 he skipped s3 lol probs his viewers ain't gonna do it anyway
S i am just like idt i care lol
does watching silvergun's clear count as watching a guide 
yes
silvergun still malding at A
any prior knowledge is a guide
why?
especially if you watched it 6 months ago
he already did a-3 buffless
oh he done?
he done in CN
he plays cn
has a video...
i watched the stream like 30 min ago
wait for real?
he forgot how to recreate his clear 
oh dear, I bet I'm gonna suffer
he baiting for views lmao
i think hes optimizing it
exactly
s3 seems impossible for 4star only tbh
i doubt you can do low rarity with S-3
even with the "buffs"
can we get all rewards not clearing s-3? s-2 was the best i could do without half of the meta operators needed 
idk maybe 5 stars
it's quite high up there in high risk CC comparisons imo
u will miss out on some lmd
4 stars for sure not likely even with 1 6
part of my problem then with this event or i suppose more so for new players is that they can't farm for rewards
but noone did a 5 star clear
so there stuck fully missing out
not like rewards are exceptional
5k lmd 🤩
i mean
Even A3 buffless looks like micromanagement hell for 4 stars.
it's honestly better that people won't waste their time like with tfn
since it's a milestone style
rewards suck anyway just get Cardi skin and bail
next event is... anniv yes?
yo fib how's s1/s2/h12-4
low rarity clears have always felt like micro hell ngl
i need cn farm sheet again
ig i overly value the t5 mats
oh wait it was awhile ago
I remember CC7 was one of my first events (third iirc), I couldn't even clear the dailies
but its not that many
I did the strict minimum and bailed out, farming stuff
device and oriron pog
anniversary is usually at the end? of april i thought
strict min? support squad and bail?
i am out of sanity 
is ch13 an event?
s1 is uh
more like more dead week
yes
i mean recent new chapter events give a ton of stuff
its just like any other story chapter in Victorian arc
ch12 had 3mats/day thingy alongside pots etc
nice amt of first clear rewards
and the "catch up" rewards were already quite high
this one has some missions
there's a new mat iirc
oh yea degen mats
isn't it more like a new T4?
1-7 or red certs or chips ye
i forgot
how big was degen module
Are there some fucking RNG included in lava fissures? Why in half runs every live just fine and in half runs fissures damage start killing?
you can probably just wait awhile for your own to get trust
and borrow some whale one in the meantime
oh I am not looking forward to that...waiting for trust for module upgrades
afaik theres no rng for lava
too bad
S-3's redep risk is really what made look up a solution. It's my kryptonite
the neat trick is using the boss to do it for you
thats a funny mechanic gotta say
i love it tho
That means killing the boss phase 1 well while killing the first 6 elites flawlessly
oh yeah that mechanic was so useful
I never ever considered to also let Maws eat Mlynar and Saria

its been like this from SL
No doubt the boss is fully shift immune.
its weight 8

8 weight
top lane invi dudes
have weight 2
No wonder
and do arts
oh i thought they where way heavier
i knew that he had good res
even if ur not doing 4star only
Enemy info updated ui really is amazing for shift enthusiasts
yeah i copied that part of silvergun's clear 
learning how to utilize shift properly is so hard
for sure, the information used to be NOWHERE
@spark sinew sensei now u can be proud, QB in 12h s3m3 e2l80 
hauckindu is only proud of gg s2m3ers and eyjaberry s1m3ers
Okay, I find out about funny effect from standing on funny tile 
is he proud of ash s1m3ers too?
oh u didnt know that standing on the tile redirects the lava?

Easy when u copy
sapa dalao
... at least it didn't take u 4 hours
The Eyjaberry S1M3 is pretty common...
wait the ifrit beam kills ur own ops
ew
yesss...
yes...
maybe if she's m9
nope only she deserves m9
btw how do u survive the boss ranged attack without ng
or killing the boss before it attacks
Well sorry it has next to no visuals for it except "Reed's" arts fragile on enemy
just destroy the balls
its like written tho
14 more days before I get Hoed
after he consumes his followers that ball gets even bigger
He does
yeah with his sword but doesn't do much
cake clear utilizes SILVER ASH :poggies:
and no ceobe (subbed by surtr and some other ops i dont remeber)
fireballs wipe everything not just ranged 😄
ahh ok saw him do once on a ranged op of mine, but thats just if there isn't something he can pull aggro on, melee ofc
surely you have the pots and can copy the one on en rec 
this is good enough for me
i can’t do s-3 
gg
ya what the other guys said
i forgot to take aak but worked out anyway lol
with your ops you can probably do S-3 if you borrow ceobe
no mlynar gone be tough for middle
i think its possible for that account
its gonna be extremely tight probably
but possible
Damn show ur screenshot
hi cake teach me how to play
ask sapa he taught me everything I know
@halcyon adder teach me everything cake knows
He somehow used ifrit in this stage,too big of a dalao
Why are u a mouse now? 🐁

Also saga 
Why saga 
M9 but not level 90?????
why not saga
cake's old enough to not really give a shit about the meta people argue over every day
did he try to pull off the phase 1 execution lmao
Did not think the bug will come to en lul
Oh right, legit forgot Elysium also strips def.
Elysium, Shamare and Skalter S3 mean Exu can kill Melta.
Why fucking boss summons have more DEF than boss who known for having fuck ton of DEF already
the what bug
i used saga to stall a couple units like red katana and croc
This stage was super hard jeez took me all day trying to get the last one
I LOVE WHEN CHAIN SURVIVE ON 1 HP AND ENTIRE ROSTER FUCK OFF INSTEAD UNCHAIN HIM
Yeah, I'm legit about ready to give up on arts and go physical. See how things go in like 27 hours after masteries are finished baking.
Can anyone cook me a squad for A-3
Any brick builded?
I achieved nothing... Outside small shame after realizing I didn't equip Saria module
I
Yeetus
This could have been 9 oped
But I'm not optimizing this to sciels clear fml
This felt reasonably comfortable, and mostima just slowing the nuclear orbs was very chill
Is saileach module impactful?
lowest is like 6 right?
doesn't sciel have everything pot6
Nah
It's 6
6 for S-3 no buff
im not sure if its potgated or not
with buff there's a 5 op
I threw in saileach most and surtr for comfort
Nah just was wondering if I should give flags their mods
It's kinda bad
idt it's impactful
mod doesn't seem to do anything lmao
8 ops basically required zero pots and no lvl 90s
but im not sure if 6 ops are different 
only units I don't even have mod1
Turns exealter into 3 block juggernaut with a loooooot of sustain
3 enemies or 2 stainless tirrets
Make his survivability spike through the roof
I love making my enimities tanks
Don't ask
sus
why do you love making enmities tank
Something to aim lava fart at boss while boss is flying and can't be NTRed from alive
Don't. Ask.
.
Behold this monstrosity of a team that lets pennance tank h114 steam knight
I am trying to make pennance tank h-12 4
Soon
Sooooon
Eyja s1 isn't enough to deal with the ele dmg
Perhaps eyja s2
A disturbing lack of skalter def buff
I think I finally figured out a squad positioning that survives the first phase
I still haven't figured how to kill the shieldguard sadly
i assume the problem were the whisps
A-3 really giving me that ptsd from d15 emergency deep cognition
mmmh, but then do I use kroos alter?
instead of taxes
the fire wisps from his first stage transition are really weak, any good aa sniper will kill them
A-3 the real bosses are the 2 elite companion guards
hoshi....
I had hoshi with module, still needs a lot of healing but will survive
To hold the boss?
the guards
The elite
Oh, yeah. they're spicy.
silence actually useful here? 
there are guides on yt for a-3 afk where hoshi can tank the companions
so, there's proof that it works
she'll need healing from at least one good single target source though
alright, kroos wasn't fast enough and it all blew up
both at once?
mine barely survives one and still dies
.....you need something shooting it ofc
I'll keep with specter for that
normal would be something like typhon or rosa since they'll prioritize the companion
s2
this is what I've seen as the typical stall strat
gg S2 so it can reach over and hit the companion guard
no GG, no saria, no typhon I can use
saria last deploy
yes
guess I should mastery it
it's a stall, not a burst
slvl7 works enough for this stage
any caster that can reach over and hit over hoshi is fine
or something lik schwarz S3M3 that can punch through his defense
you can replace saria with nearl, it just need to be a last deployed healing defender because they have innate res, makes stalling the shadow blades and boss phase 1 much easier
and last deployed to get hit by the bosses bind
and have some AoE op covering her but not in the surround 4 tiles
to damage the boss and clear the bind at the same time
S2?
redeploy schwarz time
probably? I just took S3 because that's what I had masteries for
But as long as you don't deploy in a roughly 2 square radius of your last deployed staller (in this case saria) you should be fine
because that's roughly the radius of the explosion
i honestly just brought schwarz to buff typhon
Just finished s3 and I literally feel like I escaped a torture chamber
A3 with no buffs is the equivalent of risk 18. S3 is higher than that and your total reward is 50k LMD.
a3 felt way way harder than r18
for those of us that played IS3 d15, this is normal floor 5/6 cbt session
a3 is literally deep cognition....but with only 2 companion guards
instead of like 125

deep cog you can just not block the guards and cycle blocks
r18 sounds about right... the strat isn't too hard to figure, but i just keep missing one timing
Depends on is3 d15 run, some runs with right relics I facerolled boss
they're also several times squishier in f15
what's the defense on the damn thing?
I swear it has to be at least 2.5k or something, mlynar tickles it
before I decide to stall I was doing schwarz + mlynar + typhon S3 and the thing just refused to die
Good news - One of your units survived. Bad news - 6 other died 
So, arts is better in basically every stage of this event.
not really.....
Ceobe is basically god in it.
Ceobe is good
Does lappland silence the big shield guys in A3?
yeah it's an event to shill arts
also the lava pool even buffs it
arts is a lot simpler, but the real need is a monstrous amount of stall power
either hoshi with a hospital ward behind her
or ines/suzuran/and co
Gotta love S3. Goof'd up? Half your ops are now dead, the boss has 6k def and a 10k arts shield.
My only stall is spalter, and that isnt enough either
maybe gavial alter, but dps check not enough
S3 is an ines check
u no have ines?
suffer as this wither maw with an hp pool probably in the 100k range eats your units
I quit like after reed alter, and came back this event so I missed alot of operators
She is not mandatory but most brain dead opening
ines on banner atm
bagpipe s3 +def op
Max Mlynar + Suzu S3 is enough for the maw dudes.
too bad horn and stainless don't see any use this event
I just slapped QB on top middle lane look donw at end to brrrrrrrrr phase 2 of boss and casters
I beat A-1 and A-2, A-3 I die when the boss goes in second phase, my dps isnt enough even with typhon friend
real boss of the events:
A-3: Comparion guards
S-3 that stupid bladehelm
phase 2 
No no no. S-3 real boss is twin chain caster
what spalter for
mmmh, not bad
doesnt look like shes using her skill any time soon
Nightingale cage moment
maybe if I had m3 schwarz
lvl90 mod3m3 typhon with xmod2 schwarz can 1 cycle phase 1 diablo
which is pretty nice
I could undeploy splatter after that point actually
Tile ban moment, you can't bait BOTH away from your operators
dropping skadi earlier so ceobe doesn't die so fast
1 is survivable...just not 2 hits at once
wait actuallky i forgot specter exist
If you have good medics. I didn't bother 
maybe i can use her to survive the vore phase
for A3, splatter just survives the full force of phase transition while chained
Remember that vore = instant redeploy.
the boss doesnt shoot fireball autoattack if blocked right
In phase 2 part 2, correct.
maybe my brain is cooked but i might try tank fireballs with specter blocking
also swapping to schwarz mod y, didn't use redeploy
I have like 9 e2'd medics...
10 once I finally get all the rocc for silence
Is ptilo and warfarin enough for a-3 or should I be levelling different operators like shining?
so far it looks like perfumer is enough 
Yup.
exu for the 0 def dudes I assume?
Shamare isn't enough, but with Elysium and Skalter S3 she is the boss killer.
good if you're one of those holdouts from 3 years ago that has only built physical ops and no arts ops.
Did the boss explode or did a giant fireball explode?
2 different mechanics.
It also doesn't use ng and ines
that's p sick ngl
One shot everything is not the auto attack. It's the phase 2 fireball.
I thought exu wouldn't have the dmg to punch through the def
Exu just said nah I'd win
Bro those last two adds on A-3 is fucked up
Same
The ones that go to the right side
but someone said he didn't do fireball when blocked
But with power of friendships
lol
How do I stop these guys 💀
He doesn't do his AoE auto attack. The fireball is an entirely different mechanic.
Waifu.
Kinda a dps
so when going to phase 2 he'll start by a fire ball huh
I guess I should drop a vanguard bait first, then drop skadi
A sa or quibai would be better there tho
wait, better, let splatter until phase 2, then after the fireball drop skadi
The fireballs keep happening. It's why people kill the boss quickly.
well that was my penultimate try
but if I drop skadi later, it should work
Wait... Are you seriously relying on Perfumer regen to hold the boss and not a single other source of healing?
You have an admirable amount of optimism.
I mean, I was almost there
got the best charting for this part I think
only some details to solve for phase 2 and it should work
How marksman holding on now
trapmaster gaming? is that a new op
Ela.
which is
I will be damn if they start making air units with so much def that marksman can't do shits
Super limited coming in like 6 months.
oh, so the name is just ela?
Yes.
Which is?
not having another dorothy
Okay fair
also anti air
What weakness? Dorothy has binds or arts damage map wide.
Ela literally cannot do any damage outside of her autoattacks.
They do drastically different things.
Read the above
.
I love dorothy, but her traps don't do shit against flying enemies
ye, hence the first weakness
I need to read what she does
but if it's a new cn, we don't have a clean tl right?
alright, next step is going well
She debuffs enemies with her mines, that deal 0 damage, and has a crit chance talent.
They combine so Ela is like a marksman but doesn't prioritise air.
mmmh, what went wrong was that the boss does an aoe attack before the fireball
also I needed to bait the aoe
if ceobe survives, it would be enough
Are there any ops that can 1v1 mandragora on stage 9-19?
1v1 no, 1+harem of medics v 1 - yes
Which one would that be? I can just borrow it
Keep in mind she’s going to start flying in her second phase
Well - pretty much anything which heals good
Nevermind. I didnt know that.
excuse me, what the fuck? are we supposed to fight in a tiny space like this
Yes 😄
Better hurry.
Final enemies are ||chain casters from chapter 10 and that one teleport over your operator guy from chapter 12|| have fun
this is gonna take some malding...
A-3 is the equivalent of risk 18. the S stages are all tuned above that.
Tier of mald : Try to find youtube video of S-3 WITHOUT Mlynar 

Watch clears from 3 years ago hit me with "damn, we have mlynar now"
it's happening
I learned how to bait the attacks
sadly ceobe must die
YEEEES
perfumer carry baby
how long did it take
Am I the only one who thinks that DoS A3 is fucking r*****ed as shit?
Meh, it's just risk 18 equivalent.
Risk what?
hmmmm
calculatable
old cc is dead ; new ccs uses point values for tags
comparable w/ POO tags
well, no, because S3 exists
POO 620 score.
CC is dead, long live CC
The point where any and all proper rewards stop and it's just a pittance of LMD.
I mean, idgaf about a stage I can't even get to, so......
anyway, yeah, you're right. What's the needed goal for S so I reach level 55?
I'll skip on the pain a bit
Level 55 should be A3 and all 5 T stages.
Uh... Can i undo my life S-3 experience now 
No. you're stuck with the knowledge you took the "risk 19+" challenge because the devs poorly communicated what it meant.
Hey i took r22 cc9 and r27 cc11 and r25 cc12 on my free will 
cc10 was r18, because i didn't want to be near that cannon more than i need to
S-3 was take youtube and then brute force circle into square hole
S3 for me was:
Pretty much.
Uhhh, why is it targeting Ines instead of the shield ? I placed it before he casted the fireball. Is it different from Nightingale summons ?
The shield has no taunt.
doesn't it target only ops?
Best it can do is last deployed.
Or is it not the case
Wait, yeah. Fireball is operator with taunt > last placed op > blue box.
yeah shield has taunt
I was just dumb
I could have sworn I placed it at the right time
Where in her kit does the shield gain taunt?
Because it's not her talents, skills or module.
it literally says here
only shown on the unit trait I guess
Fucking summon traits.
I thought it was a weaker taunt or smth like that, it was just me not timing it correctly 

i think all taunts are the same yeah
Like how Penance's S3 "taunt" doesn't work on Aak, but Mylnar's can
a new info for summons
at least for operators
Yostar moment
oh? weird, i could swear everyone has the same taunt
Yeah, taunt is taunt. But taunt is lower than custom targeting.
Like marksman snipers can ignore enemy taunt to attack air targets, or deadeye ignore taunt to target lowest def.
Extinction (the fireball attack) ignores units and their taunt, and only cares about operators.
Blocked unit > Special Priority > Taunt > Last deployed > Negative Taunt
I didn't know that damn
there are some exceptions for blocked unit iirc
some abilities at least
so it's more like Special Special Priority > Blocked unit > Special Priority > Taunt > Last deployed > Negative Taunt
Only time that isn't the case is when ranged ally units are blocking
unless I'm forgetting some weird ability
well, the recent example of fireball ability
Yeah, fireball/extinction only cares about operators.
Would be nice if taunt worked also on melee enemy attacks
They just walk the whole map to get to the taunt
was that the CC12 boss?
close, at least
in RA, mobs will do that to any op (with a radius)
Idk if someone tried making the cc12 boss sprint around the map
is there any other operator than lappy and s1 texalter that can disable enemy special ability
Anyone know how to deal with the flames sverdmeltr shits out when he hits phase 2? When that happens they just wipe my defense and I die. Not using any buffs btw.
This one 4 star caster has a silence and nian does aswell
jaye
my strategy was just bait it out
oo yea I forgor to lvl him up
random splatter in the corner to get all the balls away
They literally fly all over the map. There is no "baiting it out"
Do they only target last deployed?
yes
with perfumer (and gladiia ofc), she was able to tank the full barrage and survive
Im just gonna use her immortality
that works too
I changed the flow so she wouldn't get chained as well, to redeploy easily later
Also I figured out you can wipe phase 1 with just ifrit cuora and a healer
ceobe s2 does it too
I forgot about her
ceobe is just cracked against the boss
She was my savior in pinchout
Not a single guide video helps me, I've already spent the whole day and almost half the night. How to get through A3?
Who're you using in the lane with the elite guards?
the shield, or invis
Shield
you'll have to explain what you tried, because just looking at what you have you should clear it with minimal trouble
just specter
and perfumer for healing
and to kill them I went for schwarz s3
it's painful if you don't have the ops in the guides.
they used it you don't have it . idk
you don't have reedic or ceobe
my final clear of it. Typhon retargets to the shields when the boss goes away after phase 2 happens
A-3 you dont really need reedic or ceobe
were you trying to clear A3?
i thought you were doing s3
just tank them up. are you trying to brute force as well the dublin guard?
you can use silence debuff to disable refraction on the dublinn elite guard, then use arts.
90k hp 2k def 70 res knock yourself out
schwarz managed to brute force them fairly well.
are you talking to me?
no.
we global server players have the ability to foresee the future events. when new banner drops maybe it's better to check future events clear guide vids to see if these ops are used or not. then decide if you want to pull a certain op or not.

It seems a bit double standard to me when someone didn't have said ops yet tries to follow a guide that uses exactly these ops. Oh but i don't have them rip.
pulling just so you can follow a guide someone else made
The absolute state of arknights players
or knock yourself out trying to figure out cc18 clear w/ whoever you have. i respect that.
i doubt whether you've never watched a guide b4. tell me you have not
have you cleared s3
that's the main reason I stopped checking guides a while ago yeah. Getting my favorite squad also helped not needing to
Im on A3
i respect that. but the process is painful and frustrating.
Your not even playing the game at that point if your just braindead following guides
Thats my philosophy
I don't want to do it every event, but I love having that one map that makes me do a progressive clear
disagree. i'm not forcing you to watch a guide
you're not converting me into never wanting to watch a guide ever again. fair game?
like I did for A3, just throw the main squad at it, see what sticks, replace if things don't work, when there's a working principle appearing, refine it step by step if it seems doable, or throw it away
my own strat was gnosis/ceobe/hoshi/ptilo to plug and kill the shields
ines/skadi to kill shadows
gg and ng for general support
bag/surtr/ntrk to kill boss
bait fireballs with cages
second wave dies just fine too
kill the summon and third shield
at this point everyone retreats, if not dead
third shadow killed enroute
by the time boss gets to blue box, redeploy, block and murder
and the culmination after 2 hours when you found a thin solution in the labyrinth of dead ends, finally performing it and winning
that's priceless
perfumer carry
i do not enjoy the process when it doesn't give any positive feedback.
watching guides is fair enough but u have to admit to yourself when you do that you have no interest in solving the problem whatsoever anymore
makes me hate the mode; not everyone has the mental power to challenge top risk level cc.
This is part of why i've played arknights for so long
Goldenglow support or Typhon.
If you mean my operators, Nightingale, Whisperain and Ptilopsis, Saria, Rosa, Saileach, Ines, various defenders and healers. (even tried to tank using Silverash)
Surtr. Yato to remove the debuff.
Kal'tsit, Hool'heyak, Ebenholz, Passenger deal little or insufficient damage to elite enemies.
Pramanix, Aak and Warfarin didn't help either. Nearl alter perform not bad, but I always fail to stop the elites in the end.
as a student i copy other's solution. as a doctor i do the exact same thing.
I see, typhon seems like a good choice for support yeah
i do not find that shameful.
I do agree it went a bit too hardcore, esp S which I'm not even attempting
jess2 s3 shield should tank the shield guys just fine, just kill them with ceobe then

I know it'll go to the side of not being fun since it locks away too many strategies
all the intended content needs to be doable with solo perfumer

Which is why all rewards stop except for 50K LMD once you clear A3 and the 5 T stages.
the stats are a little crasy on this one but i still think its clearable with my squad
im too stupipd for this though
Atleast its not pinchout
That was the worst event arknights ever done by a long shot
Nah
Do people use gg s2 or 3 in A3? I havent really noticed much impact with gg
To the point new CC is based on pinch out.
pinch out wasnt that bad unless u were trying to clear insane risk
S2 mostly.
1000% HP how do you like that
2
i'm not sure why people say dos is easier than day1 POO, when dos is harder by like 5 risks
I havent put any mastery in s2 damnit xD guess Ill have to
Guess what. You had to actively go out of your way to get to 1000% hp. Well above 650 required for all the medals and currency.
idk. how much is 1000% hp worth?
Hehe, poo
I LOVE STALLING FOR 2 HOURS! I LOVE GLOBAL RANGE MULTI-HITTING ENEMIES WITH 10K HP AND RIDICULOUS ATTACK!!!!
My reaction vs that stupid mage boss in is4
Did you do max risk?
Actually it was more like 100k hp
10K? it's 1.75M
I attempted too
Or are you just complaining because you saw a video of the handful of people who actually did it?
he's being sarcastic .
Ok no, pinch out was actually quite fun, only some unfortunate stacking made it grueling.
It was a better CC
Even with stacking you could plan it out most of the risk is in enemies you leak.
yea
All the common strats involved buffing the 2 mechs and then dealing with the stage, retreating everyone and leaking said mechs.
I'd rather stall for 2 hours than try to clear stage for 14 hours and fail
Followed by people still bitching about it to this day.
I think what I did was just super buffing dorothy instead, and leaking her
having ceobe means the bots weren't as scary
Even though it was such a success it is the method future CC is using, just not as busted for max risk that less than 0.1% of players even attempt.
my roster couldn't survive the attack risk, so i resorted to 1000% stalling. still, didn't take longer than 30 minutes to kill all three
after PO, it just made us realize how barren CC was
even though CC was pretty nice already
Higher risks legit felt unbeatable with the gunner bots and those fucking dogs at the beginning.
and DOS just confirms it, by having no interaction, needing to not use anything to clear it
This new event is much better compared to pinchout
Because it doesnt have any bullshit enemies at the beginning that can just snipe your ops from across the stage like the gunner mechs. (S3 might havent gotten there yet though)
The only ranged unit is the boss in its phase 2.5
Phase 1 only has the bindings which are easy to deal with.
Lowish HP + low damage overtime
And theres a sizable delay between each one
the problem is that you're comparing PO to A3, which isn't the final difficulty for DOS
I'd say clear S3 first to really know the difference
K then
poo was a lot harder in my experience
pinchout didn't have an enemy that sniped you at the start
unless you took a very optional risk
and even then the damage wasn't even that big i think
poo was more of a mlynar and sustain check
but some of the tags force to change ur strat
the point of CC/PO risks is that you can choose which risk is too hard to deal with and NOT take it
dos is whole squad check
DOS is just, max CC, you don't get a choice
s3 stage was more like a risk 27 but yeah
a3 can be quite painful but is around the risk 22 area
It had one that came out early regardless. For melee units the damage was somewhat negligible. But it completely obliterated any ranged units and it also targetted 3 units at a time
which is already above the usual intended highest content
and in this event, they also had S
For reference it dealt enough damage to outheal most medics when their skills werent active
that's the reason I didn't take any of the range upgrades, and avoided too many atk upgrades
On low risk it wasnt an issue obviously but it made high risk absolutely painful.
it makes no sense to complain about specific risks when you have the choice
yeah but you had plenty of time to just put 3 melees by the time it came out though
Cant. I have to deploy them after the ranged ops due to targetting priority. And it really wasnt that much time.
It does when I wanna try for high risk.
even high risk has a decent amount of leeway
if you go for max risk, then it's your choice and not part of the intended content
So correct me if I'm wrong, but...... without Shining and Nightingale (or Eyja Alt) it's impossible to clear a3, right?
Because not enough healing?
Warfarin S1 can do a lot of healing.
Anyone have Qiubai Skill3 and m3 in support? I need to borrow her for DOS S3.
cleared it with perfumer
just need a working strategy
Like here is an example of Perfumer being the solo healer. the team and strat is built around that fact however.
definitely yeah, exploit the tools
ng is recommended because of cages and res buff, but shining is optional if your tank is sturdy enough
If you have Lumen built he can also shit out a lot of healing.
Plus since it's all elemental damage and no status effects S3 is a perma boost.
I would say Quercus, but very few people have her built.
