And her s3 is better than her s2 9/10 times

leaden kraken
#

Because of Kyostinv 😛

orchid talon
#

Maybe 10/10 for her s3>s2 lol

#

Either way I’m fairly confident NG mastery level didn’t make a big impact

spark sinew
#

did he threaten your family if you won't s2m3

orchid talon
#

If you do s3m1, it’ll be enough I’ll bet

spark sinew
#

i think for stages that you would consider s2, sl7 works just as fine because the stages are just that easy

orchid talon
#

The big upgrades was ceobe mod3, I had her at mod2 but then she just wasn’t killing the boss in time

spark sinew
#

they have them m3 because you can't downgrade them

#

it's not like you go and pull for p6 units, like he does

leaden kraken
#

That is the extent of my E2's, most only have one M3, if any

orchid talon
#

Bro your entire box is 90

#

You’re fine LMAO

#

Like wtf I don’t have a single level 90 unit

spark sinew
#

you def need to module ceobe

vocal leaf
#

how you can’t clear s3 with all that SkadiDaijoubu

spark sinew
#

if you want to upgrade her big time

leaden kraken
spark sinew
#

you probably don;t need to

#

with that roster

orchid talon
#

Max pot saria

#

Like wtf

#

I have no sympathy anymore LMAO

#

You don’t even need the skill masteries 100%

#

Just follow the guides lol

#

You should be able to out stat the issues that I was running into

leaden kraken
orchid talon
#

Just follow the ceobe guide for the first half

#

And then drop in kyostins guide for the finisher

leaden kraken
#

Need to M3 her tho...

orchid talon
#

Then just m3 her

#

If u have time to lvl 90 20 units

#

You can m3 a skill lol

leaden kraken
#

Damn, I just started on Susuran M1...

vocal leaf
spark sinew
#

i'm curious, did you never use mosti and gavialter despite e2 90ing them?

orchid talon
#

That’s fine, events here for a week or two

leaden kraken
#

My goto is Mudrock ❤️ , Blemishine ❤️ , Archetto ❤️ and Texalter

lapis hornet
#

archetto kinda based

leaden kraken
#

(List is soley based on waifus)

lapis hornet
#

i haven't used blem in a hot minute tho

spark sinew
#

my favorite unit in the game is mlynar!

ruby compass
lapis hornet
#

skill gaped

leaden kraken
#

Mudrock ❤️

#

I want mudrock plush doll!

spark sinew
#

did you throw a lava at it

#

admittedly idk if this stacks with reedic

orchid talon
#

Ceobe is my favorite actually glad she’s getting these boss stages for her

#

Truly her time to shine

ruby compass
spark sinew
#

gg s2 huh
i assume you used suzu ceobe saria?

ruby compass
leaden kraken
#

Ah well, nini, work in 5 hours

orchid talon
#

This event

#

Making me contemplate if I need to just start grinding exp to lvl 90 full box

#

If future hard events are gonna be like this one

orchid talon
#

Like my highest unit is 70 and sometimes I’ll just fail a guide 1 for 1 cuz my stats just aren’t there

ruby compass
#

my stats are up there lmao, i just fail because my timing is geriatric

#

im an old man

spark sinew
#

don't farm LS-6 if you can

orchid talon
#

What do u farm for exp then

spark sinew
#

i was gonna say you might be gated by surtr pot

orchid talon
#

Ik the rule is usually farm materials and base exp up but

spark sinew
#

but then i looked at your surtr

#

i get all my exp from base

orchid talon
#

Doesn’t help that games releasing like

#

4 crazy banners back to back soon with units I wanna save mats to level

spark sinew
#

it will pile up eventually

orchid talon
#

RedOmegaLul virtuosa >degen>shu yeah it’ll pile up SkadiDaijoubu

spark sinew
vocal leaf
#

all i care for is hoederer SkadiHug

spark sinew
#

to use it on like 7:15 in that vid

#

||virtuosa is a crazy banner? ||

orchid talon
spark sinew
#

Ela probably won't ever get a rerun

orchid talon
#

Oh yeah into ela

#

Either way never can build up resources cuz new releases too strong

spark sinew
#

ray should be better than arturia as well but i understand limited fomo

vocal leaf
#

i also want arturia, i mean exalt needs his frenemy

spark sinew
#

red certs (that you also spend close to 500/month just for mod blocks)

#

books and rocks

glass monolith
#

I needed book farm only during early stage of game, now i am so busy farming chips, red certs, etc that i accumulate skill books passively from event stores, login reward, daily stuff CeobeConfused

#

Of course if i focus on m3 everyone who i e2d i will go dry on books in no time

spark sinew
#

i run out of them a lot

#

wow you don't even m3 your ops?

glass monolith
#

I have alot of random m1, m2, sometimes still SL7

turbid badge
#

wierdo i al;ways m3

#

only 6* e2 sl7 for me mlynawr

spark sinew
#

a lot of m6s as well recently

turbid badge
#

my carne m2

#

Almost m3

#

trainers slow

spice quest
#

Are there any clears without Mylnar, Ceobe or Nightingale ?

spark sinew
#

there's 6 op without both mly and ceobe

#

you can probably cut ng

spice quest
spark sinew
#

nvm it also doesn't use ng

spark sinew
spark sinew
viscid raft
#

If I can't do the event do I grind TS or chips

spark sinew
#

what's TS

spice quest
#

Sadly only got Lv7 Saria S3

viscid raft
#

To get purchase certs

#

For more yellow certs

spark sinew
#

@grizzled otter you alive?

grizzled otter
#

sent

spark sinew
#

added

grizzled otter
#

thx

turbid badge
#

haukc indu u did event>?

spark sinew
#

no

cunning river
#

Okay, how?

#

How even

spark sinew
#

still didn't do t4 and t5

#

did everything else though

#

do you have liskarm

cunning river
#

Me? Yes, but E1 only

spark sinew
#

you can either just rotate burst

#

or use like weedy s2 for the right lane, some arts for the left

cunning river
#

I have no idea what you mean by rotate burst

spark sinew
#

or do croissant+liskarm battery

#

and hold everyone in place forever (just spam croissant s2)

#

like you have mlynar (just an example)

#

you activate his skill, it goes on cooldown

#

you activate something else

#

then mlynars skill comes from cooldown and you activate it again

cunning river
#

The other part of the issue is that all those dead units you see there got killed at the same time

#

So how do I do that and also keep everyone alive

spark sinew
#

kill or bait mortars (i assume mortars killed those?)

cunning river
#

I think so? I blinked and they were suddenly dead, so I assume mortars

#

Though it's weird cause Penance was the last deployed op

#

And the other ops were out of range of the AoE

grizzled otter
cunning river
#

Can't raise her

grizzled otter
#

you should borrow her then!

cunning river
#

What does she do, is she AoE?

#

Also don't have any Lin on my support list

grizzled otter
#

she is a phalanx caster with around 1200 defense with a talent that gives her a crystal barrier that unless the hit does more then 200 dmg accounting for defense will take 0 dmg

#

so she is perfect for ranged bait'

cunning river
#

Yeah last wave doesn't seem to be sustainable for a whole minute

#

Yeah, no idea

#

Okay, nevermind

cunning river
#

T3, now suddely everything dies at once in wave 3

noble pewter
#

maybe was bombtail or mortars or the suicide facehuggers PtiloThink

south bone
#

one of them is definitely the aoe caster

vivid rain
#

just get exu and buff her with stainless device

cunning river
#

I was using Exu though

#

Buffed by Skalter

#

Okay Exu isn't working

#

Her fire rate off skill is too slow

vivid rain
#

exu + skalter alone isnt enough

#

you need skalter + stainless + shamare + ely for exu to kill A-3

#

also to solve firerate issue just use s1

sullen rover
#

why exu for A-3 Bnuuy
everyone and their mom has 2k def there

vivid rain
#

also it was my winning stratergy so why not

cunning river
#

This is what I've been trying

vivid rain
#

what lacking everyone in the guides people uses does to a mf or something

cunning river
#

It's not A3, it's T3

vivid rain
#

oh t3

#

i didnt even buff exu for T3 idk

somber falcon
#

Just use casters for drones ReedBean

vivid rain
#

honestly tho caster eyja s2 would prob work better than exu there

cunning river
#

Well, Archetto managed somehow

vivid rain
#

yeah archetto have aoe so she would work better

cunning river
#

Tips for A3 before I start trying it?

sullen rover
#

everyone has 2k def

cunning river
#

So just use arts and true damage?

sullen rover
#

yeah

#

arts is gonna be your main source of damage here

cunning river
#

I don't think I have a single ground unit that does arts beside Surtr

#

Actually, I'm just really lacking in arts units overall

sullen rover
#

reedic + ceobe was sufficient arts damage for me CeobeConfused
the rest were just blockers and healers

#

and gravel

#

to bait the fireballs

cunning river
#

Okay my units are pretty much getting killed on spawn then locked

#

How are you supposed to deal with that

#

I though it was just ground units the boss could do that to, but I was wrong

sullen rover
#

by baiting

#

with either a frd or mly

#

or you can have it on your blocker too

#

just make sure to kill the chains so he keep chaining ur tanks and not ur main dpses

cunning river
#

The chains?

#

What chains?

sullen rover
#

you said your units are getting locked right?

cunning river
#

In boxes after they die

#

But they are dying so quick I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be baiting

sullen rover
#

ok so basically every once in awhile the boss will cast a skill which chains an op
if the op dies while being chained they will become locked in a box and unable to be redeployed unless the box is killed

somber stone
#

The chains prevent op from gaining sp, attacking, and activating skill

cunning river
#

How often do they do that?

#

It seems like retreating while they're getting targetted still gets them locked

sullen rover
cunning river
#

So how are you meant to bait? Wouldn't that mean that Gravel would get locked?

sullen rover
#

thats the point

#

gravel getting locked means that your squishy dpses arent

#

and they can just kill the box to free her

cunning river
#

I've tried killing the boxes and they're really tanky

#

Way longer than 30 seconds to kill

sullen rover
#

who r u using to kill

cunning river
#

Was using Kal S3

sullen rover
#

uh

#

not sure what went wrong there kal s3 just kills the box pretty easy

#

i dont rmb the box having high hp

cunning river
#

It took me like three uses of her skill to kill one

somber stone
#

I need a video of this

#

No way

cunning river
#

Is there an enemy that can debuff Monster?

#

Mind you this was in B3 so it might be different in A3

sullen rover
cunning river
#

Yeah that didn't happen to me, no idea why it took so long

somber stone
#

Are you sure monst3r wasn’t getting bound

cunning river
#

Boss was dead by that point

scarlet mortar
#

did you use kal S2 or sth by mistake

cunning river
#

I have her S3 on by default

#

Though I just tested and Monster is now breaking the boxes on time

#

Weird shit just happens sometimes in this game

scarlet mortar
#

the boss chains everything near him, mon3tr might've been in range or sth

sullen rover
#

maybe mon2tr got bound CeobeConfused

scarlet mortar
#

no idea there

sullen rover
#

and he chains everything in the surrounding tile when he dies for the first time to transition into p2

cunning river
#

Though even with that problem solved I have no idea how to manage the boss and the lanes

somber stone
scarlet mortar
#

B-3?

cunning river
#

A3, right now

sullen rover
#

he is attempting A-3 no?

scarlet mortar
#

ok A-3, gl with the shield guys

cunning river
#

Haven't even gotten to those

scarlet mortar
#

if you have silence to cancel the refraction you can melt them

maiden sand
#

The boss companion

cunning river
#

I'm dying to like the first five enemies

scarlet mortar
#

pretty sure at least one spawns in wave 1

#

one exactly

cunning river
#

I am dying really quickly, you see

somber stone
#

What’s their stats btw

scarlet mortar
#

the shield guy has 90k hp 2k def 70 res

#

but the res is via refraction

#

the shadowblade 60k hp 550 def 0 res, dies pretty easily

#

i like how the shield guys have more def than the boss

somber stone
#

Hellagur s2 gaming SkadiDaijoubu

cunning river
#

Not even a dent on those mobs

scarlet mortar
#

shield guy

#

lmao

somber stone
#

Elysium next to lava SkadiDaijoubu

scarlet mortar
#

both ntrk and surtr got chained gg

neat skiff
#

Huh, S3 gives 750 points. 18.75 levels. So A3 + all 5 T levels only gets you to level 47.

#

While rewards stop around 55.

cunning river
#

Yeah zero idea

scarlet mortar
#

they would've lasted longer if you deployed an op after either of them

cunning river
#

That guy that spawns in lower left just bolts and there's not much you can do to stop him

scarlet mortar
#

that was a waste of both of their uptimes

#

actually no, let him chain ntrk, deploy surtr to break it, then redeploy ntrk

#

free damage

#

the chains are very synergetic with ntrk S2

cunning river
#

That mob just ate a full Eyja S3 no problem

scarlet mortar
#

70 res

#

no duh

cunning river
#

Then what are you supposed to do?

cunning river
#

That seems beyond what I can do tbh

scarlet mortar
#

..the pause button exists

cunning river
#

Even with the pause button I have no idea what you want me to do

scarlet mortar
#

when this happens, deploy surtr behind ntrk

#

retreat ntrk

neat skiff
#

So, if you retreat an enemy that is chained up, and then defeat the coffin you can instantly redeploy them.

scarlet mortar
#

break the coffin with surtr

#

ntrk is now immediately back up

#

drop ntrk on the dumbass

neat skiff
#

Same as the maw dudes that eat your ops.

cunning river
#

But NTRK is like doing no damage still

cunning river
neat skiff
#

Remmber chapter 10?

scarlet mortar
#

yh but now you have both ntrk and surtr

neat skiff
#

Wait, 11?

cunning river
#

Haven't played those yet

scarlet mortar
#

the top guy is still annoying, admittedly not the best opener

cunning river
#

So no, I don't remember

scarlet mortar
#

but that should at least kill one guy

neat skiff
#

Ever seen these dudes before?

cunning river
#

But doesn't NTRK have to do this in two deployements to work

cunning river
neat skiff
#

So. So the mechanic is theirs.

scarlet mortar
cunning river
#

Yes, but Surtr can break tops once before she dies

scarlet mortar
#

if an op's captured by the coffin and you break it, they're immediately available

neat skiff
#

When those enemies touch your ops they will eat them. You cannot redeploy your ops while they're still alive. Once the enemy dies your op that was eaten can be instantly redeployed.

scarlet mortar
#

from the looks of that vid neither surtr nor ntrk is killing them on their own

#

so like, drop both

#

i'm still kinda looking for a better alternative bc that's pretty resource-demanding

plain reef
cunning river
#

So as I was saying Surtr can do it at most once before she dies

scarlet mortar
#

wait how is surtr not breaking a coffin

cunning river
#

She does

#

Once

#

And that's to kill one guy

#

There's another coming right behind him

scarlet mortar
#

yh

cunning river
#

The one that's camouflaged

scarlet mortar
#

but the other guy's squishy

#

550 def 0 res

#

free ntrk again lmao

cunning river
#

That's what I tried but Texalter can't do it

neat skiff
cunning river
cunning river
#

It's not like healing is going to do much to those two in that situation though

neat skiff
#

They're tanky enemies and they mainly hang around the right side.

#

The afk method for the stage is meatball tank, healing defender, good single target medic, AoE medic and the rest is damage.

cunning river
#

That might as well be gibberish to me

neat skiff
#

Half the team is defenders and medics.

cunning river
#

I kind of have a hard time imagining how that would work

neat skiff
#

The enemies are bulky and take time to kill so you either hold them or leak them.

scarlet mortar
#

the afk strat relies on basically brute forcing with stats ngl

plain reef
#

don't you specifically need eyjalter for it

scarlet mortar
#

the shadowblade has 400ish arts dps

cunning river
#

I do have Eyjalter but she's nowhere quick enough for this I feel

neat skiff
scarlet mortar
#

the shield guy has a whopping 2.7k atk, might as well camp 2 medics just to heal the defender

#

and you can't have them on the same defender since they go monke mode when together

neat skiff
#

Like a person in here did Perfumer + Gladiia as the only healing.

neat skiff
#

Not afk.

plain reef
neat skiff
#

Here.

#

Yeah, afk you need the good stuff.

#

And by good stuff I mean Eyjaberry S1L7 E2L60.

scarlet mortar
#

gladiia on the shadowblade, looks right

cunning river
#

Yeah that shadowblade isn't tanky at all

plain reef
#

rip I don't have her built

cunning river
#

Definitely

scarlet mortar
#

60k hp yh

#

unfortunately this is the gamemode with normal amounts of hp

cunning river
#

"Normal"?

neat skiff
#

Enemy stat creep.

#

Global will soon be at 5 year anniversary. We have operator power creep and enemy stat creep to match.

scarlet mortar
cunning river
#

All because they were too much of a cowards to nerf Surtr at launch

neat skiff
#

Positive note, Ceobe enjoyers been eating good lately.

plain reef
cunning river
#

I mean, you can believe that

plain reef
#

it's not surtr's fault

cunning river
#

I think it's an issue that they don't know how to up the scales without nerfing stuff

#

So they are at an arms race with themselves

neat skiff
#

With no powercreep what reason would be there to pull new ops?

cunning river
#

And thus enemies have more and more inflated stats and bosses have more and more annoying gimmicks

#

Anyways

cunning river
neat skiff
#

Normally it's not this egregious.

cunning river
#

Oh I know

#

Still

neat skiff
#

But the event is supposed to be a CC stand in.

cunning river
#

Oh is that what it's supposed to be?

neat skiff
#

And A3 is the risk 18 equivalent.

cunning river
#

Honestly they should just give up and bring back CC

neat skiff
#

They do.

cunning river
#

And give you pulls and rewards instead of nothing like it used to be

cunning river
neat skiff
#

It's like pinch out operation but the risks are way more forgiving.

cunning river
#

I only heard bad things about Pinch, and that even CN hated it

neat skiff
#

No more +1000% HP.

#

The new CC seems pretty ok.

cunning river
#

Update

#

NTRK, Surtr and Goldenglow together can't kill this guy

neat skiff
#

70 res if you don't silence him.

#

Chapter 9 mechanic.

cunning river
#

I literally have no silence

full finch
#

refraction lol

cyan gorge
cunning river
#

She does silence?

#

Still, I'm using her to kill the mobs at the beginning so they don't rush me

full finch
#

I uh

#

how do you deal with the boss?

cunning river
#

Me?

#

I'm not dealing with him yet

full finch
#

anybody

#

I've been ignoring the event for the past few days

cyan gorge
#

I gave up on bursting the Dublin tanks, Reedic/casters + defenders + a lot of healing ended up being the better option

neat skiff
#

I was mostly GG S2, defenders and medics. With Eyja S2 to help with chains.

cunning river
#

I am having trouble with one dude, I have no idea what I'll do with the boss

cyan gorge
#

Typhon solos boss

cunning river
#

S3?

gilded chasm
#

idk how to do S-1 with my team

cyan gorge
#

Yes

cunning river
#

I assume M3

neat skiff
#

A3.

#

Typhon needs quite a bit of help for S3.

full finch
#

what do I do now TexasBlob

cunning river
cyan gorge
#

I just had Skalter and the occasional Warf on Typhon

neat skiff
#

Ahh. Then yes. Plus module.

cunning river
#

Yeah, I'd have to borrow that

neat skiff
#

Khold90#1725

cunning river
#

No idea

void terrace
#

Ange gaming

#

The Dublin donkeys are the true boss of this stage

cunning river
#

Zero fucking idea how to do this

#

Things are straight up immortal

void terrace
#

Surtr saria texalter

#

Or mylnar Chen shamare

cunning river
#

That's 100% not working

#

Look at the conversation above

void terrace
#

I'm curious if you can just silence out their resist

#

Or if you have enough squad space for it

#

Refraction is silencable

cunning river
#

Yeah but how reliable is that

void terrace
#

Instead of ange see if Lapland can survive

cunning river
#

How long does it last

#

Don't have Lappland

full finch
#

wait

#

there's buffs?

void terrace
#

Lapland is Perma silence on whoever she is attacking

full finch
#

where?

void terrace
#

Yes

#

It lowers your score

full finch
#

eh nvm

void terrace
#

I mean I wonder if lap is actually the solution to this stage

neat skiff
void terrace
#

I mean mylnar shamare seems more straighforward

cunning river
#

I'll be so mad if that's the case

void terrace
#

There is a surprising lack of ranged DMG in this stage

#

So shamare can just hide in a corner with Typhon and throw the doll on the sheildera

cunning river
#

Yeah the shadowblade is way tankier than you guys were saying

#

Is there a more reliable source of silence than Lappland or having to throw Texas at it every ten seconds

neat skiff
#

Sadly the jank that is Lappland is the most constant silence.

cyan gorge
scarlet mortar
#

the shadowblade doesn't have refraction though

#

"less tanky" yh but unfortunately it's a massive amount of hp

limpid siren
#

if you only need silence for a short burst, use waai fu s2

void terrace
#

I mean I just stalled them out

neat skiff
#

If you look at their screenshots they mean the companion guard. they are having issues before the first shadowblade even spawns.

void terrace
#

I used this strat which was honestly pretty chill

#

The timing wasn't that strict and you can kind of just cheese the boss phase 2 with all the DMG and ceobe

neat skiff
#

bit over a week to figure something out.

cunning river
#

Oh that's not even the shadowblade? lmao

void terrace
#

Shamare seems like a good answer to relieve DMG but yeah perhaps better vanguards first?

neat skiff
#

Shadowblade spawns top right. Companion guard spawns mid left. Mid left is silencable.

cunning river
#

Fuck it, good old reliable SA

void terrace
#

Holy shit

#

Silver gun the madlad

#

Wait

#

You can push the shadowbaldes???

neat skiff
#

They weigh 2.

void terrace
#

Not the heavy defenders but the shadowbaldes

#

Damn

#

Weedy bulling time

cunning river
#

Okay killed the two and got to phase two and immediately died to some enemy I couldn't see

#

This game, istfg

#

Too much for tonight

#

I'm just gonna guide it tomorrow cause this is just bullshit

somber stone
#

Yeah seeing anything orange is a little bs sometimes

full finch
#

mmkay, finished

#

wtf is this Bnuuy

sullen rover
#

😹

full finch
#

wait what are the T stages

limpid siren
#

timed stages

#

3 waves

#

don't need to kill everything, just need to survive the timer

full finch
#

how is that different from just
kill the enemies and not die like normal TexasBlob

limpid siren
#

go play one and find out

full finch
#

or is this like SSS where as long as you don't lost all HP it's fine

limpid siren
#

you can leak

full finch
#

huh

#

well I did A3 alr, that's enough td for today

#

would anyone blame if I just copy a guide for S3 PauseChamp

limpid siren
#

kermit told me he'd kill you if you did that

full finch
#

kermit can bite me

#

I'll still copy his cc1 strategy though

void terrace
#

Suddenly craving blaze start in is runs

#

Idk why but fire cat needs more love

limpid siren
#

get that bread

#

T-3 kinda punishing

void terrace
#

Ooh 5 star clear?

limpid siren
void terrace
#

Why not teq tho

#

Teq can clear the waves and lower pressure

limpid siren
#

Idk if teq is really a -1 for op count

void terrace
#

Having cuora in the center of the rocks or another defender and a medic pointing up can relieve the DMG to the snipers too. I guess that's what gravel was for?

limpid siren
#

But i haven’t tried much optimising

void terrace
#

Oh your going low op?

limpid siren
#

Those aren’t 5*s

void terrace

Oop brain

Mr Nothing S1 might be the play, but then he blocks the LE golem things

lapis sun
#

After spending too much time and stress, finished S 3. It seemed to come down to retreating one of my DPS to make room to plant surtr in front of boss while he transitioned in 2nd phase half hp, this allowed surtr to live long enough to skill since boss was doing animations, and prevented boss from stepping forward to be perpendicular with suzuran. Suzuran lived instead of dying like every other attempt, so wondering if that was why.

hmm based on salt mine submissions the most used ops for buffless S3 are suzuran and mlynar; both of them showing up in all but two clears

T-3 probably the hardest for me so far

but it's closer to just a classic kill map

what is map one isnt it thomas

i baited him in to going to look RedOmegaLul

you wish

by map1 i mean the first map

why would u wanna do the first one only anyway

because they told Cake that they lost at the first map

man my flist is dead where's mah credits

no one borrows your myrtle?

deft badger
spark sinew

i heard she's the best op in the game

lapis hornet

the friend visit thing

#

no one borrows my units

only 120s on my list

I should kick them and only add newbs

#

put up random generic stuff like mlynar they'll love me surely

deft badger

where do u see that anyway

lapis hornet

cause I never get the extra credit lul

#

it's like 30 or smth?

spark sinew

kick everyone

#

add new players like me

deft badger
#

i dont even know what u are talking about right now RedOmegaLul do we get credits if someone borrows a op from us?

spark sinew
#

yes

deft badger
#

can i see if someone is borrowing mine? like when cc is up

lapis hornet
#

you see stats in cc

#

like how many times someone borrowed from you which units were most often borrowed

#

wait did they port that to poo? they did right?

deft badger
spark sinew
#

i think so

#

actually maybe not

#

idr at all...

deft badger

thats 20 once a day if some uses ur op

dont even know who to put in to support

#

90% of my fl is lvl120 they have all of it RedOmegaLul

#

hauck why have u been looking for typhon did skip her?

spark sinew
#

i don't pull for bad ops so i don't have Typhon

deft badger
#

hahahaha why is she bad...

lapis hornet
#

she's not he just hating cause he skipped

#

I like her better than I expected but I've always liked rosa also so

#

the range is nice

#

she's not some megacracked ssssss tier broken unit tho

deft badger
#

she does more dmg then mlynar on st with s3 so i don't care

#

which part does upset u hauck...?

spark sinew
#

why would i be upset here

deft badger
#

btw does chalter have to be deployed to reduce ammo cost of other ops?

jovial nest
#

If we're talking entire skill duration...

spark sinew
#

it's actually very entertaining

jovial nest
#

Mlynar wins

lapis hornet
#

wait fk there's a medal for using supports I gotta redo some stages zzz

spark sinew
#

typhon takes like a minute to dump her s3

jovial nest
#

i have no idea why you think Typhon S3 beats Mlynar

lapis hornet
#

within 1 minute she does do more st dmg tho that's not wrong

deft badger
jovial nest
#

and thats important

deft badger
#

because the sim does say it does...

jovial nest
#

we trying to make the boss not move while Typhon uses all her ammo?

spark sinew
#

total damage is not really relevant outside a couple ops

lapis hornet
#

the lock on is also p nice

spark sinew
#

and even then you need to consider that typhon s3 sucks ass if boss comes through a line of mobs or similar

#

if you truly like her infinite range

lapis hornet
#

yall looking down on her s3 is her best skill

jovial nest
#

there's a reason Degen is very strong. A stronger DPS given to a shorter time means there's better skill cycling

#

For every time Typhon takes to use all her ammo

spark sinew
#

i never liked s3 typhon argument

jovial nest
#

Mlynar is already charging his S3 again

spark sinew
#

you guys are using s2 99% of the time

lapis hornet
#

nah I used s3 a fair lot

spark sinew
#

ok, UnknownM does

lapis hornet
#

s2 is actually kinda whatever, well it's nice but not enough to make me dump 100+ pulls

deft badger
#

i did m3 s3 later on

jovial nest
#

you do you....

spark sinew
#

and do you use it often?

deft badger
#

just to have it for is

jovial nest
#

but ngl I don't like Typhon much on boss killing

deft badger
#

not really

jovial nest
#

unless the boss is so far away in tile bans that one of the few options is Typhon's range

spark sinew
#

i considered typhon for hard content, but then we got two units that are excellent with buffs and can dump damage much faster

#

so like

deft badger
#

but she did eat clip RedOmegaLul

lapis hornet
#

yeah the pull schedule is tough if you're f2p

jovial nest
#

well

#

you're getting a bit of a break

#

the next one is Degen

#

but afterwards

#

it's banger after banger

#

Ray, Shu, Ela

#

that is unless you don't wanna risk FOMO (sparking for future) for Virtuosa

lapis hornet
#

virtuosa used in 2/2 ccs so far

#

you can skip if you like I know I'm not gonna

deft badger
#

i am going to pull them all RedUltraGlare

#

going to skip the sword dude dont really see a reason to have him

spark sinew
#

forced f2p, kinda sad
is this how cn official players feel

jovial nest
#

I'm just saying that Typhon's S3 has really good DPS. But its con is that it takes a long while to fully apply its value. So it's best for very slow boss fights

spark sinew
#

hoed actually has a niche

#

with potentially more

jovial nest
#

especially when we consider buffs and debuffs

#

those have duration

jovial nest
lapis hornet
#

she has good total dmg the dps itself is actually mid

spark sinew
#

would put him on the same line as all other units like typhon and jess though

deft badger
#

she doesnt have good dps... she has dmg in total, her dps sucks

jovial nest
#

not everyone likes to duel tank a boss

spark sinew
#

but you pulled for them, so

lapis hornet
#

it's rly for multistage stuff where ammo mechanics will help

jovial nest
#

Ammo is great DPS pacing

spark sinew
#

yeah it's great when the boss will fuck off into some undeployable corridor

jovial nest
#

but it doesn't play well with buffs/debuffs

spark sinew
#

or teleports or whatever

jovial nest
#

unless we get an ammo-based buffer/debuffer

#

LMAO that'd be hilarious

#

Ela might be considered as one....if we consider mine count as ammo

spark sinew
#

i mean you can use shamare fine

jovial nest
#

you can pace her fragile well

#

oh yeah Sham charges S2 even with doll dropped

spark sinew
#

it's a bit eh because of high def ignore built in though

jovial nest
#

so in total you cna have 2 dolls worth of duration

neat skiff
#

I know someone in here did it with Shamare and Elysium layering their skills.

jovial nest
#

thats a good combo

#

that's what I did in CC4

spark sinew
#

or like buffing typhon, proccing the next stage, and charging the skill again during phase transition

jovial nest
#

dailies

#

CC4

#

some max risk CC4 dailies have insane bulk

#

Sham and Ely S2 were great

spark sinew
#

is it worth it though? ehhhh

jovial nest
#

depends

#

what are your main DPS?

#

for me it was Chalter back then

spark sinew
#

that's a rhetorical question

#

for me it's not worth

neat skiff
#

If you follow the build meta of 3 years ago and only build physical...

jovial nest
#

you have the ops built. Not like there's a penalty in experimentation

jovial nest
#

in other words, RES too high

#

so i went physical

#

ahhhh good fucking memories. Back in CC4, someone was using Eyja S3 and it's doing mindamage to Bob

#

it was hilarious

neat skiff
jovial nest
#

ah, the Exu fans will never die

#

not when there's enough buffs/debuffs to use

#

wow all 5 of those icons

#

they brought everyone

#

that's worth using for Exu

spark sinew
#

buff armies always look so easy

#

god forbid you try to do them yourself though...

jovial nest
#

the timing for Exu S3 is always annoying for me

lapis hornet
#

nah buff army is p easy

jovial nest
#

but it only requires some memory on how long Exu autoactivates S3 from drop

spark sinew
#

i mean you're basically putting all your eggs in one basket

lapis hornet
#

sometimes you have to

#

also the burst is satisfying af

spark sinew
#

if you fuck up in regular clear you can salvage it cause you have 8 more units that actually can do stuff

#

in buff army? yeah you just die

lapis hornet
#

like you think ceobe do good dmg but look at how fast the bar goes down with exu lmao

neat skiff
#

Ceobe makes it go down fast if you RES debuff as well...

lapis hornet
#

not that fast

spark sinew
#

even QB melts super fast

lapis hornet
#

I've tried buff army ceobe

neat skiff
#

Like, to make Exu work you need to strip like 70% of the bosses armour. Ceobe pushes through 50 RES in most comps.

jovial nest
deft badger
#

doesnt skalter s3 do just dmg?

lapis hornet
#

it also buffs

jovial nest
#

mostly the good mix is 2 boss killers with multiple buffs debuffs

neat skiff
#

It's also an atk buff.

jovial nest
spark sinew
#

yeah it doesn't seem particularly fast

jovial nest
#

using Skalter's ATK base

#

it's best for low ATK ops

#

like Marksmen

deft badger
#

have to look what it does again

lapis hornet
#

also exu cheesed eyjaberry's boss ppl kept saying it's the hardest event

jovial nest
#

the True Dmg is a bonus

lapis hornet
#

idk why everyone says she's dead man

jovial nest
#

not the selling point

jovial nest
#

or never ever read event mechanics

neat skiff
#

So. Skalter gives 1018 attack when buffed by Warf and S3M3 active.
Skalter by herself gives 577. Warf boosts it by 441 attack.
If an operator has 491 or more attack then it is better to buff the operator than Skalter.
That is also ignoring other potential +atk and atk_scale interactions.

Without an abyssal hunter in range:
Skalter gives 974 attack when buffed by Warf and S3M3 active.
Skalter by herself gives 534. Warf boosts it by 440 attack.
If an operator has 489 or more attack then it is better to buff the operator than Skalter.

i do like the comparisons. It's a good way to consider who to bring if your squad is tight on space

#

it has to lane well

#

and kill elites too

deft badger
#

i want skalter JessNotLikeThis

jovial nest
#

have mine

lapis hornet
#

that exu clear was 10 op enough slots even in one of the hardest stages

jovial nest

i don't use her anymore

#

Skalter for me ain't carrying enough of the slot demands

deft badger
#

well i am hopeing on my luck to get her like i did with chalter

jovial nest

not the 13 slots, not the 8 (average) deployment limit

honestly IS just hypnotized everyone's brain you just want generalists in every slot now lmao

Yeah, while I'm glad I do have her I haven't used her in a hot minute.

i mean they work well enough

even in IS

not anymore anyways

I've raised Quercus

and will prefer to recruit her more

neat skiff
#

Quercus is goated.

lapis hornet
#

she's okay

if you don't need Skalter's buffs, you're better off using Quercus

#

I'm considering superinflated enemy stats

lapis hornet

skalter's never been all that in is anyway

spark sinew
#

pretty cheap to raise, might as well

jovial nest
#

well not THAT cheap

#

she's still a 5*

I'm raising everyone. So yeah some might not be in the same low glue situation as i am

you mean back when she released vs after degen banner or around that?

jovial nest
#

why care what the majority of AKO thinks?

spark sinew
#

why do we chat here?

#

because it's funny

#

and partly to guide some newbies into 252

neat skiff
#

Because we get things like Irene and Penance that are "omg, must raise, new meta" that sit around in the base collecting dust.

jovial nest

I just consider it a bit of a waste of time to think what the majority thinks. The majority being the ones who just follow bandwagons and never try to learn themselves

lapis hornet
#

it wasn't degen it was ray

jovial nest
#

Ray's good too

neat skiff
#

The Ray copium was amusing.

jovial nest
#

think of it like this

spark sinew
#

better art design, can't argue with that

jovial nest
#

Typhon is better for laning

#

Ray is better for boss killing

#

simple

spark sinew
#

muh sniper chips should be used wisely!

jovial nest
#

I'm not exactly gonna tout Ray as an equal laner to Typhon's S2

#

but she can destroy bosses better than Typhon S3

neat skiff
#

"Typhon is easier to use but if there are 2 enemies in range she is forced to attack 2 enemies. Ray is harder to use, more annoying to optimise and a bunch of busy work but she is like Typhon if she could attack one enemy at a time".

jovial nest
#

Ray is harder to use....

spark sinew
#

she has quite low skill damage doesn't she

jovial nest
#

dude she plays like Poze except the summon just makes her prio a specific spot and increase range instead of shooting arrows

spark sinew
#

like sure she has good cycle and buff reception

jovial nest
#

harder to use

#

anything that ain't AFK is "harder to use?"

neat skiff

Ray = must pull apparently.

spark sinew

she looked more like elite killer for me

let us yap about degen then

there was really no reason to not borrow degen Bnuuy

as much as I'm tempted to max pot her...

its not exactly to the levels of a high pot Mly

and there's a lot to pull after her

pulling for high pots is like

its a whale thing

nice you have your high pot mly and frd

now you're gated by pots on 5 different units

fuck that

she was used as a caster killer in cc12

brah have you seen horn hype after cc9

spark sinew

idt anyone rated her high because of that

max risk CC is like the worst measurement of value

if that was the case Blem and Noir should be touted fucking S tier due to CC9

lapis hornet

I hear she's good in is4 tho?

jovial nest

no

yato I mean

Ya2 is ALWAYS good in most content

its FRD flexibility

thats why no matter how old Ya2 and Tex2 are now

they're still premium picks on most content

premium picks lmao

I barely even use texas

wow, YOU are the measure of the value?

Pompeii is weaker against anyone who does ranged DPS

#

but if its melee

#

they're getting the entire brute force of its incineration

#

jess is so bad it's unreal he's like the vigil of ak bosses

#

alsa ppl keep saying degen > mlynar now you think that's accurate?

jovial nest
#

he wins some fights

#

really depends on matchup

jovial nest
#

but if you REALLY have to pick one

#

Degen

#

Degen actually lanes

long epoch
#

Degen burst spike is a lot better. She's very efficient when you want something dies really fast.

#

i use every meta unit so I have some very subjective considerations for everyone
