use mlynar and drop saria ig

smoky laurel
#

why saria

#

and where

somber falcon
#

so she could charge s3

#

below red box

smoky laurel
#

she'll be blocking the guy, won't she die from him?

somber falcon
#

what

#

she's way out of the way

smoky laurel
#

the one that comes after boss goes flying

somber falcon
#

oh

smoky laurel
#

you said below red box

somber falcon
#

smoky laurel
#

somber falcon
#

leftt to hoshi can work ig

smoky laurel
#

somber falcon
#

oh yeah fk new guy from there too huh

scarlet mortar
#

saria gets oneshot if helidropped on the dublinn guys

smoky laurel

forgor 💀

smoky laurel
#

strongest arknights defender:

#

#

#

when he lands, i can place surtr ig

somber falcon
somber falcon
smoky laurel
#

she won't be able to kill it

#

how far does the boss fly?

#

4 tiles? 5 tiles?

cyan gorge
#

Until you get him to half hp

somber falcon
#

Could try saria below mlynar then for amp placement HellaKek

cyan gorge
#

Or kill the summon

smoky laurel
cyan gorge
#

The dude that spawns on phase 2

somber falcon
#

Eyja and typhon should be able to make him half

smoky laurel
#

or does he has absurd damage too

cyan gorge
#

Yes but she’ll get stunned

glass monolith
#

He eat them for HP on 50%

smoky laurel
#

so thats a no then

glass monolith
#

And killing them can be too cancer to bother CeobeConfused

smoky laurel
#

yea i never tried to kill him

glass monolith
#

I don't know how much stats those shits have, but in S-3 Ceobe S2 redirects on them if they reach you at which point you just accept that you F'd up

scarlet mortar
cyan gorge
#

Are you borrowing anyone?

smoky laurel
cyan gorge
#

I was gonna suggest my setup that doesn’t use NG

smoky laurel
#

i'm already mid game

#

i've been paused for over 10 mins now

#

lol

somber falcon
#

Just do it atp tbh HellaKek

smoky laurel
#

so typhoon and eyja skill for when boss flies?

#

what about last phase

#

where he lands

somber falcon
#

Surtr

smoky laurel
#

reminder: my surtr isn't m3

somber falcon
#

Before ig

scarlet mortar
#

btw heads up

#

if you place her on the lava tile pointing up, she scorches the lane

smoky laurel
#

failed

scarlet mortar
#

hoshi might take some more damage

smoky laurel
#

all that afking for nothing

scarlet mortar
#

gg

somber falcon
#

Gg

#

What went wrong?

smoky laurel
#

boss flew too far

#

couldn't stop him anymore

#

typhoon targetted the little guy

#

instead of chains

crisp bolt
#

are you using s3 typhon? Bnuuy

somber falcon
somber falcon
#

Probably should've put her facing left above shining

smoky laurel
#

eyja can't take down the boss alone

#

i need at least 2

#

units

#

for the boss last phase

crisp bolt
#

I ran s2 typhon instead to also deal with the mooks

smoky laurel
#

wdym

crisp bolt
#

the ones before the boss

#

aka the invis guy and the shielder

#

still did fine for deleting fireballs

smoky laurel
#

good news, my texas alt s2 can solo chains

cyan gorge
smoky laurel
#

or reed

#

if thats even her

scarlet mortar
#

that's A-2 doe

glass monolith
#

Why archetto even there HellaHands

cyan gorge
#

Chetto is irrelevant, any sniper works

crisp bolt
#

cheeto

cyan gorge
#

Fireball duty

cyan gorge
scarlet mortar
#

pretty sure stat diff and stuff matters

#

they could probs borrow reed, still an uphill fight

smoky laurel
#

failed again

#

eyja can't get the boss half alone

#

i'm not even using skalter anymore so

#

buh bye

vernal lion
#

use ceobe

smoky laurel
#

she's e1 80

#

sl 6

#

skill level

smoky laurel
#

also thats not even the problem

#

eyja can't simply do enough damage to get the boss down

somber falcon
ivory nimbus
#

Ceobe even E1 lv7 S2 should still be able to deal decent dmg, since her DPS will rely mostly on the enemy's Defense and how many shot she can land on them.

smoky laurel
somber falcon
#

what Bnuuy

somber falcon

somber falcon

#

... wait, I skipped words again. He said Eyja chain.

#

I hate how my brain worked sometimes.

vernal lion
ivory nimbus
#

Nevermind, continue on.

vernal lion
#

I really like how they bring all kinds of annoying shits

ivory nimbus
#

I'll probably erased Sverdsmeltr out of my minds.

#

I don't like him.

vernal lion
#

brave croc, eater and assassin hatman must be the real threats

ivory nimbus
smoky laurel
#

boss doesn't use his chains in other phases?

smoky laurel
#

top right of nithingale

#

didn't you see my screenshots?

somber falcon
#

Yes, and i was saying to move her on your next attempt

somber falcon
glad sequoia
#

i faced her left in case i had to place something I didn't want to kill my own unit

noble pewter
#

Man, how much dmg does lava tile do in dos? I think my nightingale keeps dying cause fireball proc 1200 arts dmg then lava tile burns ReedBean

Just in time, nice

Bye DOS

rare skiff
scarlet fulcrum
#

Oh yea there is date on it

rare skiff
#

This event is hardBreezeHappy

scarlet fulcrum
#

Too many check, hard for young rouster generally

#

tho the medal doesnt require s stage (only need to unlock)

rare skiff
#

Goodnight ChenAttacked Emuach

narrow patrol
#

How do I even get to S stages in dos all I see are T stages

#

Yep I’ll have to give this event a pass

#

Don’t think I can do stuff like this till I’m at least a year in with a few more ops in the roster… e2 preferably

ivory nimbus
narrow patrol
#

I’m only two weeks in so hell no imma pass

sinful gull
scarlet fulcrum
#

Few months is not new anymore tbh

glass monolith
#

Depends on number in those few and number of meta ops gained with totally legit amount of luck HellaKek

scarlet fulcrum
#

welp yeah, inb4 they saved for sparks RedOmegaLul

glass monolith
#

Let's see how hard Vendela will step on my hopes to have pulls of collab banners

narrow patrol
#

I got a lotta cracked banners to pull on. Help

#

At the very least Virtuosa and shu have 24 free pulls each

glass monolith
#

24 pulls to bait you to spend pulls till first 6* at last day of banner to not waste 24/50 pity, but little you know, your first 6* will be on 70th pull

#

At least every other banner for me RedOmegaLul

narrow patrol
#

F

#

I got@lucky with Ines

#

I pray it holds@out

#

But knowing my luck

glass monolith
#

I offbanner into not x5 rosmontis when wanting Mumu, so not sure if i W or L but i am not trying to read that exodia base combo HellaKek

scarlet fulcrum
#

Atleast pull wisely, dont be average gacha addict. Aim for gud ops only. Tho its ur game, ur choice ofc

#

Not like it affect much anyway

narrow patrol
#

I’m aiming for shu and degen first

glass monolith
#

Sure, of course (laughs in 111 pulls on Fia)

scarlet fulcrum
#

Shu and degen decent target yea

narrow patrol
#

Only using the free pulls from virtuosa given that the daily pulls do not stack and expire every server reset (for the 14 single pulls you get for two weeks) while we also get a free 10 pull for said event

glass monolith
#

Vendela -> Sample text -> Ash -> Other Ash

scarlet fulcrum
#

U can atleast aim for 1 6* on virtuosa banner, just hold ur pull until last day

#

(This is bait)

narrow patrol
#

Yeah no

#

I’ll aim for any six star on her banner using the 2r free pulls if I don’t get anyone good I’ll tough it out

#

But I’d kill for bagpipe… or mountain

#

Unless we can get offrate six stars limited as on any event banner too

scarlet fulcrum
#

Next notable 6* like uh, degen, ray, shu, zuo le, and maybe ella. If u are new reedic also gud choice. So save for them

narrow patrol
#

Yep

#

Not sure what’s rats kit

#

But isn’t zuo le also a siu like Shu?

scarlet fulcrum
#

Sui? Nope, but same banner

narrow patrol
#

Wait

#

Shu and zuo le come on the same banner?

#

D:

scarlet fulcrum
#

Yeah, the reason some ppl skipping arturia. But like if u confident sure, just dont be cursed

narrow patrol
#

Holy shit I saw zuo le’s kit that barrier is bullshit

scarlet fulcrum
narrow patrol
#

I take to it he can’t heal himself compared to other Musha guards tho

#

Ray isn’t limited at least .

scarlet fulcrum
#

Not that really matter since its exchanged to better thing. And his talent keeps going hard because of it

narrow patrol
#

That’s true

#

Damn

craggy trench
#

Hey, I need help for A2

#

Or well, A3

#

Give me a minute to send my ops

#

I manaed to get to the 2nd phase

#

But I can't really kill the companions of the boss in time to get him back on the ground

craggy trench
#

Yep, that's the one

#

I don't exactly remember the name

vocal leaf
#

you dont need to kill the minion, it might be easier to focus on getting boss below 50%

glass monolith
#

Not sure about A-3, but on S those minions have even more DEF than boss so screw trying to kill them

craggy trench
#

How do I burst the boss below 50% in time then?

#

Actually, what is the minimum require for me to clear to get the skin

jovial nest
#

lvl 35 iirc

#

not high

remote perch
jovial nest
#

you can get most of your levels on the survive waves stages

craggy trench
#

Ah, shit, I forgot about Ceobe

jovial nest
#

easier than A-3/S-3 imo

craggy trench
#

Does it give enough for the skin?

summer copper
#

yes

#

do t1-5 and a2 with buff should be enough

merry narwhal
#

^this

#

try to get the skin, she's wielding a baguette and it's adorable

noble pewter
noble pewter
# craggy trench

Maybe u can borrow a mlynar n do a2 since u have nightingale for cage taunt n a shamare to reduce def, or a saria s3

craggy trench
#

How do I deal with his second stage?

noble pewter
# craggy trench How do I deal with his second stage?

U down him with ur eyja s2 or s3 n ntrk top, drop cage to right side so fireball don't kill mlynar who already prepared at the corner the whole time, when he down 1st phase u can coffin eyja n ntrk so u can redeploy them later, then when he gets up into flying form activate mlynar, it shud bring him down to 50% quite fast n he will walk, u can then throw down ntrk again n activate ur shamare doll etc, ur cuora shud be blocking the way n nightingale can use s3 n refresh cage taunt to left side if needed to mitigate dmg

craggy trench
#

Hold on, Mlynara in which corner?

noble pewter
craggy trench
#

Imagine Kaltsi healing oher people

noble pewter
#

U can try put shamare at S, typhon at T

#

I not sure how tanky ur cuora is, but since u have typhon s2 n shamare pelting enemy u might able kill companion guard faster n prevent her from overrun RosThink typhon also 40% stun every shot, might help survive

craggy trench
#

This is only at A2, yeah?

noble pewter
#

Yes, if a3 u may need more firepower PtiloThink n the companion guards may hit even harder

#

But u can try this same strat at a3 if ur dmg n survival is enuf, as the mechanics not that different, just enemy stat more bloated

#

Typhon at T should not require any healing at all provided u never allow her be a target for chain or fireball to go near her as she is away from lava tiles PtiloThink deploy order may be important at start, but once u get mlynar down he will taunt all chains, then as long ur typhon n eyja keep releasing him, no one else can become target to be chained

craggy trench
#

So, Mlynar is last, yeah?

noble pewter
#

U can throw him down anytime actually, cause he has passive taunt Bnuuy u may want to let the 1st companion guard walk onto cuora tile b4 u put down cuora, that way u can take out both top n left mob with 1 activation of mlynar

#

If u can't release shamare from chain it shud be fine, she not on lava tile n nightingale constant healing her, later typhon s2 can release her PtiloThink

craggy trench
#

Why did they make this skin so hard to get

noble pewter
#

So that victory will be all the sweeter LappTeeHee

somber falcon
noble pewter
# craggy trench How do I coffin reliably?

When boss gets downed 1st time n stab sword into grd, all 8 square around him will get chained , retreat then to make them go into coffin, if u accidentally destroyed the chain u will be unable to coffin urself

#

Other than that he will chain someone at fixed timed interval, being chained also prevent u sp gain so don't leave important op that need sp to charge skill be chained too long

rose patrol
#

what is this tankiness

craggy trench
#

I'm not getting the skin, rip

summer copper
#

u can still do the thing for an hour after u wake up

noble pewter
summer copper
#

also many ppl dont know reforged retinue's third attack stuns

#

and boss 2nd phase fireball every 4-5 hit or smth

#

failed to this a lot of times

craggy trench
#

I keep fucking up the timing

#

And every time I restart, I gradually lose my patience

noble pewter
#

Ya all the timing is what will make u reattempt CardAyy

#

I take 12+ attempt to get it all down

#

Just one small mistake anywhere can f everything up

summer copper
craggy trench
#

Idk anyone irl who plays Arknights

noble pewter
#

U gotta ask urself how much u want the win, if u not really care then u can leave it alone or use buffs

craggy trench
#

I want that skin

summer copper
noble pewter
#

Yes exactly, record then u can replay n see what went wrong CardAyy

craggy trench
#

The buffs don't seem that significant, frankly

summer copper
noble pewter
craggy trench
#

A1 no buff is enough to get the skin?

summer copper
#

lemme see

#

hold on

#

ye its enough

#

but u need to do all T levels too

#

T1-5, C3+B3+A1 no buff is enough for u to reach more than level 35

craggy trench
#

Hey, what guard can hold the top lane?

summer copper
#

mlynar? idk gotta ask @noble pewter as i didnt do top lane

#

but mlynar should work tho
saw ppl using it on top lane

noble pewter
#

Even a Shaw could work

craggy trench
#

It would be real nice if restarting takes less time

#

I just want a quick restart, man

#

Dur-nar possibly?

noble pewter
#

Yes she should work

craggy trench
#

What is another cheap, high res option

noble pewter
#

Amiya guard but she can only block 1 n I can't remember if 2 enemy will spawn later or just one, if they spawn 1 by 1 as long u kill fast shud be no problem

ivory nimbus
#

How do I beat Mandragora? (I already nuke her, but the run is a bit on the rough side. Too unstable for my liking.)

noble pewter
summer copper
craggy trench
#

I tried Lappland and she falls pretty easily

#

Hmm, maybe it's the timing

noble pewter
craggy trench
#

The giant burst of damage by the fireballs, maybe?

noble pewter
#

Yea make sure the fireball is not exploding near ur ops

#

Remember use the NG cages

summer copper
#

place fast redeploy far away from ur group

craggy trench
#

I'm getting close, I think

summer copper
#

nice

#

this skin is a must get
cardigan cute

craggy trench
#

Uhhhh

#

The timing for the fireballs is just ruthless

#

Forget about it 0.1 seconds and my entire team dies

noble pewter
#

u can just predrop the cages, they don't take lava dmg, only lose life from their own passive trait

#

Then drop another when it running out n try nuke boss as fast as can b4 all cage gone n mlynar in danger

craggy trench
#

Oh, they don't take lava damage?

#

I had no idea

noble pewter
#

Yep CardAyy all summons don't take lava dmg

#

That's the beauty of it

craggy trench
#

That makes it much simpler

#

I was under the impression summons take lava damage

noble pewter
#

So don't be scared need lava timing, just drop cage down when boss about to spawn fireballs after he slam sword in grd when he get downed

noble pewter
craggy trench
#

I'm kind of sick of the fact I have to be booted out into the menu for every restart

#

I almost got it

noble pewter
#

Try visualise what u gonna have to do n prepare beforehand, pause game or slow mo it SkadiHug

smoky halo
craggy trench
#

Fricked up again

#

Yeah

smoky halo
#

are you willing to invest in shaw s1m3

#

she has 23 res with mod

#

and she can push the invi dudes permanently

craggy trench
#

I wasn't aware she got that much res

smoky halo
#

her talent gives her res

#

and is enhanced by mod

#

its extremely funny

#

but well if u have other units that can just kill the enemies

#

just use that instead of investing in shaw

craggy trench
#

Alright, I think I jus need to move my placement of cages to delay it a bit longer

noble pewter
#

N if u lack just a bit push to kill boss faster than he kill u n u have free slot, just bring thrm ex, 20% fragile for 8 secs can help

#

Or amiya guard cause she boost everyone 8% stat n x2 on skill

#

Or lv up ur units so all their stats is rounded up to numbers divisible by 5 CardAyy

craggy trench
#

I'm out of EXP cards

#

I'll do it one more time

#

Otherwise, I'm sleeping

noble pewter
#

I live in Asia so it's 11am here for me Bnuuy

fleet plinth
#

D-does... anybody have a levelled ceobe or ebenholz i can borrow just for today.... none of my friends have one and it's my last chance of beating a3

craggy trench
#

I'm not getting the skin

#

Goodnigh

#

I deeply resent this game mode now

noble pewter
#

What part u failing at?

sterile delta
noble pewter
# craggy trench

Ok I removed my modules n tried to do it with the most similar ops I could find, it shud be doable, but important u use shamare doll at key moments

#

If the opening is hard with the chains, use thrm ex to bait the 1st chain

pseudo cargo
#

I dont have mizuki. should I go for Aschalon ? or just stick with ethan and manticore instead ?

soft crystal
#

Ascalon seems like a slightly better Manticore upgrade

summer copper
noble pewter
summer copper
noble pewter
#

Here I did it with even worse ops

pseudo cargo
summer copper
#

Wait wait wait

noble pewter
#

Using thrm ex he is destined to die, but chain help him refresh his long redeploy cooldown too

summer copper
#

Alr I thought thrm ex can't be targeted

#

Lemme try

pseudo cargo
noble pewter
#

CardAyy u just need time him to not explode b4 he get chained

summer copper
#

O

soft crystal
#

Well

summer copper
#

Can't explode

#

That's kinda useless

soft crystal
#

Slightly better manticore is kinda downplaying it

summer copper
#

But ok

soft crystal
#

Shes a lot better manticore

limpid siren
#

manticore sucks

summer copper
#

Ethan god

noble pewter
# summer copper Can't explode

No I mean he is going to explode, so make sure boss chain him b4 he explode n dissappear off the map then not targetable for boss Bnuuy

summer copper
noble pewter
summer copper

Aiyo wait

#

WHAT

noble pewter
#

WarSmug this is pro efficient play

summer copper
#

Alr got an idea for 5 6* ops

#

But certainly can't finish it

#

Can yostar extend the time

#

hoes kit looks fun but sticking w WC

summer copper
#

Yes

And

#

I just did smth that suit W perfectly

Just cooked some pineapple fried noodles

noble pewter
turbid badge
#

#

acronym

noble pewter
#

Ooh windchime

turbid badge
#

Ye

#

havent used her much

ivory nimbus
#

So, does anyone have advice on how to deal with the ch. 10 Londinium Artillery? Had an awful time trying to redirect it with Gravel, and it kept clipping my ranged ops.

turbid badge
#

why tf r u using gravel

summer copper
turbid badge
#

gravel only one block

ivory nimbus
summer copper
#

So a module 3 hoshiguma or S2 cuora can do the trick

glass monolith
#

ranged units are 1 block too, that shit respects taunts and last deployed (don't remember if we have ranged with taunt)

summer copper
#

So just use hoshi or cuora

#

They can tank artillery

glass monolith
#

Also when you deploy operator there is few frames before they become legit target

turbid badge
#

do the dp refund trick

ivory nimbus
turbid badge
#

refund before cannon hit

summer copper
turbid badge
#

3001 hp.

glass monolith
#

Hoshi can talent block it, e2 max Cuora just barely over 3k health.

turbid badge
#

alot of operators can casually tank the cannon now with module +hp and the introduction of more operators that increase max hp,

turbid badge
#

dreadknoughts, crushers etc are some operators that can tank at a fairly low level

#

bloated max hp

glass monolith
#

Nian/Hoshi/Heavyrain/Croissant/Matternhorn are defenders with high max hp i think SkadiDaijoubu

ivory nimbus
summer copper
#

Once I'm a new player
And I was like
Aiyo blaze can tank artillery
But it can't it's her talent SkadiDaijoubu

turbid badge
#

You don't need to tank cannon honestly

#

In most maps for cannon i bring noir corne

#

To bait etc.

#

or Yato

summer copper
ivory nimbus
turbid badge
#

Yea

glass monolith
#

It does literally 3000 damage

turbid badge
#

teue damage

#

i dont think dr

#

works?

#

Well there is true damage dr

glass monolith
#

We don't have true DR as far as i know

turbid badge
#

but its only like guardian modules

glass monolith
#

Shelter specify Phys/Arts

#

Oh guardian module might be, don't know

#

Let me quickly cannon Saria

turbid badge
#

i cant think any other sources

turbid badge
glass monolith
#

Ok that module reduce true damage too

turbid badge
#

It does right

#

yea

glass monolith
#

Saria took 2550

turbid badge
#

Enemy iirc is kristen

#

For any other operators idk

#

So for newbies stick with noir corne, gravel, yato baiting for slugs

ivory nimbus
#

I think I'll just use Yato and Noir as bait. Can't really afford to max level Cuora right now.

craggy trench
noble pewter
#

Shamare doll very low cooldown u can use for extra survivability or to kill faster

dense kayak
#

How does Shining's defense boosts interact with targets? I was considering the likely terrible idea of getting Hoederer to use with Ines and W, probably to worse results overall, and thinking Shining boosting targets defense with passive + barrier could mitigate the goose egg he has for defense. But I never really leveled or used her, does the S2 defense boost also affect her passive def gifting, or would that be +50% of base 0 and just the flat 60-140 depending on module?

pseudo cargo
#

for SSS this is including clearing boss stages right ?

glass monolith
#

all stages

pseudo cargo
#

.... ah ok2 I'm a lappdumb anyway lol...

noble pewter
# craggy trench Ah I think I misunderstood some of your instructions

Ok u might want the boss to fly over mlynar b4 shredding him to death, cause if he blocked by mlynar n u have no cages he will spawn huge fireball right on top mlynar which instantly explode n kill everyone, if he fly pass mlynar n 1 tile below, the fireball need time travel n ur kroos/ash/typhon can hopefully kill the fireball cause it low def, otherwise u need pray nightingale 20% arts dodge work

#

In my clear I just noticed the 10k arts dmg fireball exploded, mlynar has high hp n 66 arts res, he took 3400dmg, while my ranged op all succeed their dodge which is crazy as 3 success in a row at 20% is like 8% chance of occurring RosThink

pseudo cargo
#

oh this quest as long I have kazimierz Operator it should be completed right ? I don't need to complete the stage

glass monolith
#

I have no fucking idea where fireballs spawns and where it reach and no intention to figure anything of that boss out

summer copper
#

Just do A-1 with no buffs

#

Not hard

foggy grove
latent monolith
noble pewter
craggy trench
#

I just need, I think, 90 points

glass monolith
#

Gonna go fast, faster faster faster

craggy trench
#

And I haven't done the wave 3s yet

#

Or T5

#

Which is easier

#

Trying to clear Wave 3 or clearing T5

#

I need 2 wave 3s

#

To get the skin

#

I think A3 is off the table?

#

I mean, I could try A3 with a tonne of buffs?

#

That's also an option

glass monolith
#

T5 is uh.... One where you need to bait bunch of shit i think?

craggy trench
#

T4 was pretty easy. I think I should just rely on Lappland

#

And who else has Silence?

#

Besides Lappland

#

I just bring her during those kinds of missions

vivid rain
#

You can also just ignore silence and kill slugs from range with typhon or some shit

noble pewter
#

I used texasalter n Yalter n just preemptively atk everything ReedBean

vivid rain
#

Since there are too many slugs here

#

Also the main threats are the stun crossbow guys from the right so

glass monolith
#

T4 was easy. He need T5 RedOmegaLul

vivid rain
#

T5 isnt even that hard just bring mlynar

noble pewter
vivid rain
#

And bait caster to death

glass monolith
#

T5 is Mlynar reflect showcase, also you need to kill bunch of shits and stall final wave

vivid rain
#

Ethan gaming fr

#

Ngl T5 is much easier than T4

summer copper
glass monolith
#

My T5 was Mizuki and Manticore chilling

#

Until bunch of bad guys beat shit out of their "50% dodge"

latent monolith

I mean it isn't but

Hmmmmm

Are there better options for consistent bind

#

Yes I'm ignoring ethan

limpid siren

can we ignore mizuki too, then?

#

bind isn't the only condition anyway

you can spam stuns with a bunch of different idiots right?

@vernal lion hey Naga, can i borrow your saria s3 now?

this weirdo named khant told me saria is a fraud

saria stocks at an all time low

But like

#

Some enemies stun immune

#

Bind always works

#

I guess W with sp steroids would be super funny

#

Haven't used her in a while. Gonna ptilo stainless her and send the enemies straight to Bosnia

#

The key thing is I'll probably be using him to tank bosses who can't be stunned. So I might as well have mizuki there to help him bind bosses for some extra dmg

soft crystal

He has stun on himself too

I mean saria s3 is epic in IS. She can heal all the way till the boss stage, then turn into a supporter

brah

#

why you hating on saria now smh

sly pivot
#

its true

#

now i dont even draft saria

#

🥱

#

i just 2 cycle the boss and be over with it

#

well 4 cycle

lapis hornet
#

was she ever good in is tho

sly pivot
#

helps burst the boss but thats about it

void terrace
#

Saria reedic texalt is the way to go

#

Plus she can body block and heal

#

Better value than suzuran

#

Who is the only other real competition

#

Suzuran feels a bit too weak

sly pivot
#

skalter 🤫

#

broken on reedic

#

i rather draft saria late like right before boss

#

but then thats hoping for ticket rng

#

but drafting her earlier feels like a dead slot

lapis hornet
#

yeah I've always hated dead weight you take only for one boss stage

sly pivot
#

and her only real value is one cycling a phase for ed3 boss

lapis hornet
#

schwarz ptsd

i just accept that ill 2 cycle one phase

i saw a conversation about NTR, many agreed that she's one of the best boss killer but i don't understand that claim. Newer bosses tend to have 1shot mechanic or can't be blocked, and NTR has to block the boss by herself or by the light sword in order for her gimmick to work. I can't make her work and i rarely see people play her, so how do you make her do her job?

civic bear
#

Not all new boss are those mechanic that's why

#

If she doesn't work on the boss then she's simply elite dealer

#

Right tools for right enemies

glass monolith
#

You missed part of NTR S2 having 4 shield which makes slow attacking one shot bosses cry in corner, not to mention not consuming deployment slot on doing so

#

As for seeing people play her - Most videos are either low operator count and/or gimmick clear, or guides which support 1 6* to carry entire stage, which is 80% Mlynar/Ling/Surtr. CeobeConfused

civic bear
#

Since guy specified boss killer. ntr works fine on most but not the best for all of them. And you'd preferably want ur boss carry to also be able to sweep the rest of the stage too so.

grave haven
#

that's why i questioned the claim, for bosses without gimmick, anyone can work fine but against bosses with gimmick she falls off the cliff, in order to be called "one of the best" one unit should be really good at doing their job. I m3 her s2 and use her as elite killer, but i never bring her to bosses

civic bear
#

She doesn't falls of the cliff tho

#

If boss one shots , other melee boss killer would likely die as fast too. Rather she should live longer than most. If enemy unlockable s3 still gives decent range and good atk buff

grave haven
#

um, i think most boss killer beside surtr want to hide behind a tank not directly confront the boss but ntr need to block the boss by herself or the light sword

civic bear
#

Well

#

You can have sword tank

#

So it's a bit of both

#

Not straight up as tanky as surtr. But it's pretty high up there

lapis hornet
#

what's a boss killer brah

#

if you're thinking of units as independent hypercarry in a vacuum like for is mode then she's not the best

grave haven
scarlet mortar
#

so eunectes

halcyon adder
#

Fr

civic bear
#

Highly specific

#

Barely anyone has that

halcyon adder
#

Eunectes fits thay description perfectly tbh

civic bear
#

Saria too

halcyon adder
civic bear
#

Well damage is a requirement too I'd presume

scarlet mortar
#

i mean that sounds more like a brick than a dps

#

99.9% of ops don't kill the boss while being unkillable for more than 5s

civic bear
#

Which if it's both combination of damage+sustain

#

Ntr is pretty high up there

#

Mainly cuz there's not much better

grave haven
scarlet mortar
lapis hornet
#

mlynar chen and poz have no sustain tho

scarlet mortar
#

ranged ops die to mechanics depending on HG's mood

grave haven
halcyon adder
#

They did not say the op needs to have sustain

scarlet mortar
#

melee ops have varying sustain but none at the level of soloing

lapis hornet
#

if enemy/stage has specific mechanics then you pick the units best suited for those mechanics

halcyon adder
#

They said the operator will need to be able to deal with high HP and sustain in a small amount of time

scarlet mortar
#

at some point there's just not that much of a difference beyond "well just kill the boss faster then"

#

which like, forget sustain and bring mlynar ig

civic bear
#

It's all trade off

lapis hornet
#

for the hardest/most bloated stuff idt anyone will kill by themselves it's a team effort

civic bear
#

Boss killer isn't all 1 dimensional

halcyon adder
#

U guys read it wrong

high warren
#

They gonna make different kind of sheety bosses
Like that civilian one to make up for itSkadiDaijoubu

grave haven
civic bear
#

Short sustain is still a sustain sir

scarlet mortar
halcyon adder
#

Yes

scarlet mortar
#

bc like.... does high hp matter if you live

#

so just bring mlynar SkadiDaijoubu

scarlet mortar
halcyon adder
grave haven
halcyon adder
#

So a buffed exu

scarlet mortar
#

there's basically no op that both has sustain and high damage

#

bc then they'd just be unanimously good

#

and the gacha game will be over

#

you'll have to settle, do you want tankiness or do you want damage

grave haven
scarlet mortar
#

so damage

civic bear
#

Well first of that description is fanmade so don't take it as a gospel by the dev in categorizing units. Boss killer can mean anything in many different ways

halcyon adder
lapis hornet
#

well

#

if they have evasion or dmg reduction good thing ntr has true dmg

scarlet mortar
#

yh like

lapis hornet
#

or if they have mega high def or res good thing ntr has true dmg

scarlet mortar
#

it's not kal but it's still a good amount of true damage

halcyon adder
#

It's more than kal

grave haven
scarlet mortar
#

kinda finnicky though since the rougher mobs tend to delete her token quickly

civic bear
#

Put down and use skill on enemy CeobeConfused

#

Idk . I slap her on boss and it just works

#

If it doesn't then slap more op

scarlet mortar
#

nobody plays ntrk bc she's a limited op and she doesn't shit out mlynar tier damage

civic bear
#

Limited the real reason

lapis hornet
#

rarely seeing ppl play her is because the content rarely warrants it tbh, she's more specialized than most generic dps units that are favored nowadays

scarlet mortar
#

old player check

grave haven
#

her true damage gimmick forces her to block by herself or the sword, against generic bosses, she work great but against bosses with 1shot gimmick like many recent bosses, she can't really do anything

civic bear
#

How old is this mf again KEK

#

Guardknight use her all the time

scarlet mortar
#

shush n*che player

lapis hornet
#

if you mean you don't see guides use her then yeah guides will avoid limited units if possible I assume

civic bear
#

She's just one of the most versatile guard bro

scarlet mortar
#

she'll be more relevant in chapter 13 actually no

#

DR everywhere

lapis hornet
#

idk haven't played that

civic bear
#

Summon brick. Good damage. Decent range

#

Who else has that all in 1

grave haven
scarlet mortar
#

the vampire boss is a big slug as well

lapis hornet
#

yeah but ppl just go mlynar lol! then they don't need other dmg

#

is the thought process I assume

civic bear
#

Yeah which is not wrong

#

That's why ntr is just one of the

#

Not the best

#

Top 10 at least

#

Which is pretty impressive if you ask me

lapis hornet
#

what you're seeing is more like

#

there's so much dmg nowadays

#

in 99% of content she's replaceable

#

🤷‍♀️

scarlet mortar
lapis hornet
#

until you hit stuff that wants a lot of true dmg/wants her 0 deploy

civic bear
#

Ntr is like 3 years old now right?

lapis hornet
#

idr at least 2+

scarlet mortar
#

who woke up and decided to give zuo a million damage on a 2s cycle anw

grave haven
#

1,5 year in global

lapis hornet
#

no way she's that new

#

lemme check

civic bear
#

Aintoway

lapis hornet
#

2 years on global

#

ak has had an accelerated powercreep spurt of late tho

civic bear
#

The good ol days 🧓

lapis hornet
#

yeah nowadays ppl don't even care about surtr

#

which I find kinda weird

#

maybe degen will change my mind idk but she's still bit away

scarlet mortar
#

either bosses instanuke her hp, stun/freeze her or just overstat her

#

or they fly over her

#

it is what it is

lapis hornet
#

if surtr gets oneshot/stunned/frozen/overstatted then anyone else would also be

#

bit of an exaggeration tbh

scarlet mortar
#

eh but she doesn't play as well as mlynar when it comes to static setups

#

regardless of whether she kills the boss/elite, she'll have to retreat

halcyon adder
#

Surtr still really good tho

#

Her DMG still great

scarlet mortar
#

this isn't to say that she's bad nowadays, but the convenience of being static kinda gets people

#

popularity isn't really based on performance

halcyon adder
#

I think she still belongs to my default squad

#

Altho default squad kinda stupid

scarlet mortar
#

people got bored of her

halcyon adder
#

Mlynar tho is infinitely superior no doubt

lapis hornet
#

in content where I need to squeeze dmg I tend to use both together, in content that doesn't I don't use either lul

#

think it's is that rly tilts the balance in mlynar's favor

#

altho idk I'm not even a big is player I don't draft him lul

scarlet mortar
#

all the new boss variety definitely hurt how she performs solo, but on top of that she isn't the most convenient op to use

#

hence i brought up the static setup

#

you often want to just hole up in a corner of a map anw, might as well draft mlynar so you can also station buffers close by

halcyon adder
#

Harder stuffs favour multiple skill activations and a static setup

scarlet mortar
#

maybe also add that elites aren't fodder nowadays too

halcyon adder
lapis hornet

Don't have Mlynar? Good luck fucking with Chains
Don't have Ceobe with clown car of Suzu Reed Alter Saria Ifrit? Good luck somehow killing that shit it will just activate oven mode with 6000 def and walk away
Quibai can assist at killing boss.
Oh also because cancerous ranged tile position Eyja Berry, as other medics will lack heal and/or range while your entire team cooks alive because Boss phase 2 fireball just HAD to do elemental damage from just fucking traveling

the elem dmg is the least of ur concerns tbh

"Sorry your unit takes 1000 arts damage, all while boss farts IDK how much aoe damage, while vulcano farted another ~1500 arts damage"

#

amigo don't tell me you didn't do s3 buffless

#

wdf

#

not rly comparable to old cc tbh

#

other than boss mobs weren't v dangerous

#

no deploy/slot limits

glass monolith
#

Yea just fucking 200 second if you retreat operator

lapis hornet
#

at first I thought it was around high-max week1 but actually think it was more like cc4 r23-24ish just dps check

#

you could game boss chains to redeploy instantly tho

#

hmm

#

but in cc4 you could just leak

#

so actually idk

latent monolith
#

Wait practice cc is gone now?

#

Did they remove it with dos

polar crane
#

ye

#

it gone forever now

lapis hornet

honestly s3 didn't feel harder for me than idk

day 1 600 in poo

glass monolith
#

Go make DoS 2 and marry it idk

lapis hornet
#

heard it was a cc replacement candidate

#

was kinda disappointed it didn't have anything above s3 honestly

but I get how it could be rly hard for ppl without all the units

glass monolith

"It is easy just have all units and copy youtube".
Fuck you

brah why you so mad

I didn't even copy lul

which fia mod better?

the new one better

lapis hornet
#

the 10% on blocked one?

plucky osprey
#

anyone I should replace? the non-level ones are what I'm using interchangably depending on the situation.

lapis hornet
#

you should use your ticket on lappland and slot her in

plucky osprey
#

I'm trying to keep my account as clean as possible

#

so no rolling or rerolling

#

not till end game or as far as I can anyways

lapis hornet
#

how'd you get suzu then

#

or flint

plucky osprey
#

beginner roll

#

that first 10 pull

lapis hornet
#

yeah so you rolled idk using ticket can't be worse right

#

but if you rly don't wanna uh

#

are you doing recruits or smth

plucky osprey
plucky osprey
lapis hornet
#

?!?!

plucky osprey
#

lol

plucky osprey
#

i wanna save that too

plucky osprey
#

so not technically a "no rolls" run

#

but eh

polar crane
lapis hornet
plucky osprey
#

also I dont wanna mess my account up by doing rolls whenever I have enough

lapis hornet
#

idk your options extremely limited then

plucky osprey
#

6000 gems is hard to get iirc

lapis hornet
#

sounds like 3* with a couple high rarities

#

6000 gems is like two weeks lol

plucky osprey
#

and not 2 or 3 days? damn

#

that's 4 rolls a month lol

lapis hornet
#

no?

#

you get baseline 25 a month

#

realistically about 35 with events

plucky osprey
#

1 roll a week
~4 weeks a month
4 = rolls a month

lapis hornet
#

one roll is 600

#

then you get rolls from yellow certs

#

and free pulls from limited banners

plucky osprey
lapis hornet
#

you don't rly a choice brah

plucky osprey
#

also iirc recruit doesn't give anything good

#

so why bother?

plucky osprey
#

look at all the choices

lapis hornet
#

idr if you get spot from story

#

if you do get him in your party

#

otherwise tank&spank the only thing you can do rly

plucky osprey
#

is gitano good? should Ibreplace bnuy with her?

lapis hornet
#

gitano lava kinda not that different tbh

#

sure youcould use her instead of lava

cosmic thicket
#

lava is enough usually

lapis hornet
#

nah

#

he doesn't wanna pull anything or recruit lol

plucky osprey
#

how about mr nothing?

lapis hornet
#

so gitano's bit better

plucky osprey
lapis hornet
#

nothing's okay but he drains dp which is gonna be a big problem for you

#

since you won't even have myrtle

plucky osprey
#

i just wanna know what is good fornwhat I have

i do use other people's myrtle kek

#

courier is decent for now

lapis hornet
#

wait

#

you have leon

plucky osprey
#

yeah

#

i got leon and cute smol fox mage in one roll

lapis hornet
#

yeah so probs don't need leon and another aoe together

plucky osprey
#

ah

what should i replace lava with?

i guess aoe nuker is slower but does more damage than regular aoe
