leaden kraken
#

Perhaps, but she is just not cute

dark violet
#

I'm afraid this opinion is wrong

#

but anyway, there's a lot of options

crisp bolt
#

I used gnosis for ch12

cosmic thicket
#

Texas VG did pretty well as an 8 cost 2block

#

sorry 9 without pots

leaden kraken
#

Gnosis is boy, not cute ๐Ÿ˜›

dark violet
#

with dorothy mines you don't need to block anymore

#

detect all civilians for free

leaden kraken
#

The point is, its yet another part that is basically unplayable if you do not play soley on meta...

dark violet
#

meta? huh

leaden kraken
#

The highest cost operator usabel in this part of the game is 20

dark violet
#

I mean, I'd be glad dorothy be meta, but that's not the case sadly

halcyon adder
#

This boss was so easy wtf I just bruteforced

dark violet
#

who isn't meta in here

halcyon adder
#

Eyja

leaden kraken
#

I just want mudrock, rosmontis and fiametta, all is unusable for the entierty of ch 12

halcyon adder
#

Boss doesn't have much gimmicks just kill

crisp bolt
#

gnosis is definitely not meta

lapis hornet
cosmic thicket
#

like the only "meta" op that does disproportionately well in ch12 is like mountain but i did perfectly fine without him

leaden kraken
#

I'm steamrolling the entierty of ch12 with kyostinv guides, do not feel like playing if I cant pick whoever I want ๐Ÿ™‚

lapis hornet
#

I played ch12 without ines p sure

cosmic thicket
#

Ines does well literally everywhere so

dark violet
#

ye, but she was introduced in chap 12 so she's worth a mention

halcyon adder
#

Ines is like only vg u need

lapis hornet
#

man

foggy grove
#

Vanilla best

leaden kraken
cosmic thicket
#

ines bagpipe yum

dark violet
#

I still only used flametail

#

ines is a good support pick for hard stages I can't clear alone

lapis hornet
#

can yall explain why everyone loves ines so much lol

halcyon adder
#

Bagpipe is dead

dark violet
#

she's broken

halcyon adder
#

Role compression

dark violet
#

slow, invis reveal, fast redeploy, damage, dp gen

lapis hornet
#

isn't she like canta with bit more utility

dark violet
#

all of the utility

halcyon adder
#

Some stages with and without ines feels very different

lapis hornet
#

like she does a bit of many things but you usually don't rly need the extra no

dark violet
#

shows you haven't used her

leaden kraken
halcyon adder
#

No but it helps

lapis hornet
#

I don't dislike her but when I play her I rarely feel like "wow this unit so gud!!" kinda

cosmic thicket
#

ines is much better but being a more recent op fewer people might have her

halcyon adder
#

She shines in hard content like is4 high d maps

lapis hornet
#

is it some is thing again

cosmic thicket
#

so if guidemakers use her you have 50 iq players yelling in the comments section "can i replace ines with myrtle??????????"

lapis hornet
#

nah

halcyon adder
#

I mean is is the only true content

lapis hornet
#

ines actually not that great if you just want some dp to deploy your afk

halcyon adder
#

Afk runs feels harder to me to replicate without guides

cosmic thicket
#

afk guides are also not a valid way to play the game but that's something else entirely

lapis hornet
#

afk's easy it's only hard when you tryna low step/low op

#

it's like 1p it looks harder than it is

halcyon adder
#

Ok but flags are not afk. Checkmate

lapis hornet
#

lol

#

idc about vgs either way agents or flags

#

it's the other dude who brought up myrtle lul

halcyon adder
#

What kinds squad kyo uses for his high end ones?

lapis hornet
#

no idea

cosmic thicket
#

afk skills

lapis hornet
#

afk shouldn't use vgs tho no?

dark violet
#

afk is about not playing the game

cosmic thicket
#

no they use flagpipe to set up

lapis hornet
#

afk's a self limiting genre that's as valid as anything else

#

wdf using flag for afk lame af

cosmic thicket
#

lowstep and low op are cool

#

but guides that prioritize stability instead of intentional decision making aren't

halcyon adder
#

Just use texas s1 if afk

lapis hornet
#

just don't use vgs smh

halcyon adder
#

Afk guides use units like hoshi shining skalter a lot

cosmic thicket
#

yeah honestly i might slim down my vg usage from now on

#

im literally only using vigil as a vanguard

#

it's working out pretty ok

lapis hornet
#

hoshi kinda cool ngl ppl sleeping on her

#

well she's not like, s tier you know

crisp bolt
#

I don't sleep on hoshi

lapis hornet
#

but not like bottom bottom

leaden kraken
#

And, other than inital dp, vanguards is pretty useless most of the time ๐Ÿ˜›

lapis hornet
#

most stages short enough as is honestly doesn't make a huge dif

#

like for anni maps sure

cosmic thicket
#

yeah vanguards are really easy to optimize out

halcyon adder
#

Chap 13 favours aoe a lot

leaden kraken
#

Heck, before the dp limit, you could often just wait for mudrock deployment initially. myrtle, then wait for 35, place mudrock, afk (if single exit)

lapis hornet
#

man do I speedrun ch13 instead of playing afk journey

halcyon adder
#

Is afk journey the child of afk arena?

lapis hornet
#

I didn't find dp limit to be very debilitating but I have a wider pool of units than most ppl ig so not rly a good judge

#

same company yeah idk friend of mine was yapping about it so I'm trying it out lol

halcyon adder
#

Btw can I add u cake? I need more friends

tidal sedge
halcyon adder

Good job though

that's difficulty 3 ๐Ÿ˜

glass monolith
#

13-13 once again shows that best way to introduce player to something is brutally murder them with it

they should keep doing that

pure pasture
#

So having some serious trouble on the annihilation mission lungmen downtown. Could someone maybe take a look at my ops and gives some team ideas. Or at least positions where to maybe place em

turbid badge
#

delta mod out

pure pasture
#

Are u able to vc? @peak cloak I found a way to get arknights on my laptop. I can show em better that way

peak cloak
pure pasture
#

rip

peak cloak
#

so pls send some images

pure pasture
#

ok might take a bit then, standby

peak cloak
#

gotcha

pure pasture
#

One of these might be a double by mistake so heads up

#

ive been mostly trying with a low level squad but at this point i might need a little more firepower

lapis hornet
#

uh

#

where are your medics

#

they have no levels

#

oh hibi and ansel

pure pasture
#

yaaaaaa again mostly been using a low squad lately

peak cloak
#

that's what i'm gonna ask you when looking at your rosters

#

are u some kind of try hard person? just asking

pure pasture
#

This was my roster during my last attempt along with a support silverash. And trust me I'm no try hard I prefer casual gaming even in this game

lapis hornet
#

casual gaming and 3* don't rly go together man

pure pasture
#

yaa tbh i probably should stop using kyostinv so much

#

thats where these squads are coming from

peak cloak
#

u should, man, at some points

lapis hornet
#

kyo never said to build 3* only tho he says you can replace with higher rarity in every video

#

(I think)

pure pasture
#

dont remember

lapis hornet
#

3* anni 3 is uh very difficult ik you have some 4 stars in there but

#

actually idk if purely 3* has been done I remember 3* + dobberman but that's mald city stuff

pure pasture
#

then forget the 3 stars lets go big. 4 5 and 6* teams

lapis hornet
#

with a borrow it seems v doable the only concern I have is your medics

#

cause idk if ansel and hibi are enough

pure pasture
#

i also have ones like myrrh perfumer and others

lapis hornet
#

are they leveled?

pure pasture
#

currently working on that right now. tho I cant do any promoting atm since the node isnt open

copper sun
#

So is it thought Hoederer isnโ€™ta good pull?

pure pasture
#

@lapis hornet so myrrh currently is e1 at least

lapis hornet
#

you alr have silence no need to level myrrh but okay

peak cloak
ivory leaf
#

Guys on 5-5 do I really need a catapult operator??

glass monolith
#

Oh for Kyo sake

#

What is 5-5 even

ivory leaf
#

I don't have artillery operators that are high level besides low level ones

glass monolith
#

What you need one for and can you gravel bait or normal sniper whatever is going on?

peak cloak
#

bait the drone that bombing your ops

glass monolith
#

You still don't answer why you need Catapult CeobeConfused There are no adjusted melee tiles because fun tiles, you can't pile up enemies to catapult them, and if you catapult bomb drones - why just not bait?

lapis hornet
#

I'd try something like this @pure pasture

peak cloak
#

if your squad members are low level, most likely die within one bomb

lapis hornet
#

bring a couple robots to bait bombs tho

#

you have castle/friston?

ivory leaf
#

Nop

glass monolith
#

Okay he uses Catapult - What for? What prevents you from using operators you have leveled to do them? Do you have some high rarity operator who will just clap everything without need to drop 4 more operators to hold line?

pure pasture
#

@lapis hornet is that a support thorns?

lapis hornet
#

ya

#

first thing that came to mind

peak cloak
lapis hornet
#

kroos might die but it doesn't matter

lapis hornet
#

just give your silence some levels

#

kroos legit there to kill one drone that sneaks bottom around 200-300ish iirc

#

thorns will clap the rest

peak cloak
#

and pls switch silence to s2 too

pure pasture
#

As for typhons e2. I would need some extremely rare drops

lapis hornet
#

you craft t4/t5 mats you don't rely on drops

glass monolith
lapis hornet
#

but you can do it with e1 p sure

#

my only concern is whether you'll leak a drone top lol

#

also remember to bring castle/friston to bait bombs if you have them

turbid badge
#

hi cake

lapis hornet
#

otherwise do the kyo thing and switch lapp with a defender

turbid badge
#

dalao

#

real dalao got eben module

#

early access arutira

glass monolith
#

Kyo just use Catapult for damage, you might get away with using just any other sniper

lapis hornet
#

I meant for anni3 I have nfi what 5-5 is

glass monolith
#

Use practice plans if you not sure for win

glass monolith
lapis hornet
#

if you need a friend thorns ping me with your game id and I'll add you etc

is it really my fault, when the shield dudes on 13-21 are arranged in a mlynar shaped pattern?

or is the game's fault for tempting me?

unfortunately though, some people will just toss surtr at him and wonder y health bar not go down

what you can't surtr? WarPout

very unpog

ancient hearth
#

there is the "90% damage reduction" part of his character description that people might not be reading

lapis hornet
#

I dun read I just fk around and find out

crisp bolt
#

so you're supposed to burst on impact RosGalaxy

#

I legit just spammed all the carts at once and then bursted the boss when I ran out of carts SwireKek

ivory leaf
#

Are they usable? (Didn't got u-official simp sadge)

crisp bolt
#

penance is usable

ancient hearth
#

penance yes (with conditions)

ivory leaf
#

The other two is stock?

ancient hearth
#

flint is a 5 star of a defective archtype, vendela is pretty mid

ivory leaf
#

Alright I'll just use penance

ancient hearth
#

penance really needs to be on the field early and get fed mobs to build barrier, you really want a good vanguard lineup to use her

ivory leaf
#

What could I use?

#

(only have Myrtle canti and Texas)

ancient hearth
#

or sp support like blemi or chen so she can spam her s3 faster

#

myrtle + canti is usually enough

ivory leaf
#

About the skill, what Skill should I use?

ancient hearth
#

S3 is the most common one

#

S2 is pretty niche, S1 is not used outside of IS

ivory leaf
#

But I don't have Sp support-

#

I'll just stock her for now until I get an Sp sup

ancient hearth
#

if you don't have sp support, then you just have to get her out early

ancient hearth
#

without sp support she still should be enough for most maps with masteries

ivory leaf
#

Gotchu thanks for your time and help

ancient hearth
#

sp support or getting her out early is mainly for her to stack barrier either through kills or S3 skill

dark glade
#

Wait h-13 already out?

ancient hearth
#

she's unhealable so that's the only way for her to survive

Does the nuke gets affected by Taunt or does it still prioritize highest block count?

lapis hornet
#

huh why's ch13 all ch10 redux so far?

ancient hearth
#

you can see it with mlynar

lapis hornet
#

I thought it had new mechanics

ancient hearth
#

um, you'll see the new mechanics very soon if you go through the stages

lapis hornet
#

does the ch10 cannon stay or

turbid badge
#

im gonna play 13 when i e2 hoed and querc

oh damn the taunt only affects the nuke when Mlynar's skill is active

speaking of mods does ebens 3rd mod make him usable? or should we wait for a 4th

cyan gorge
#

He was always usable

cyan gorge
ancient hearth
#

eben is usable, just hyperspecialized in a role that the power dps ops are usually already good enough at

#

I honestly would be tempted by the mod if we weren't geting arturia

signal lichen
#

maybe i should have not used the word useable

#

ik he was always usable pre mod even

#

cuz his dps is high enough

ancient hearth

he's not gonna be meta after mod

#

Hi guys. So... FiaDed

#

I'm attempting the fun that is JT8-3.

#

I'm doing this unspoiled btw.

#

Hmm. JT8-2 wasn't too bad because I just brute forced it with Amiya S3 and big ranged dps (Platinum).

#

Hmm. Is it just me (overthinking) or like.. is JT8-3 way harder.

cyan gorge
#

Itโ€™s only hard if you have under built medics

old arch
#

Hmm.

#

It's a bit hard when TDBS swings.

#

And I take big damage..

peak cloak
#

hey adam :)

old arch
#

Hello Niko!!

#

TDBS' defense is lower so it suggests to me that I should run physical.

#

But their routing/movement is so weird and they have a P2.. which I haven't gotten to yet lol. xd

#

Okay tl;dr. Is the stage actually deceptively easy and I just have to Doktah harder, or is it legitimately hard.

peak cloak
#

hard stuck jt 8-2?

old arch
#

JT8-3*

peak cloak
#

e2 amiya yet?

#

ah, jt 8-3

#

yea, it is a big challenge, hmm lets see, a well built Tifon can defeat Talulah black snake with ease

#

u want to try out?

old arch
#

Oh god it's actually a challenge.

#

Hmm. I'd like to run without any supports first!

#

I'll ask you if it turns out I can't if you're cool with that haha.

peak cloak
#

sure man

#

otherwise, without support unit maybe u do some stall strats

old arch
#

Hmm..

#

How would that work?

#

The true damage.

#

Will shred through me.

#

So it seems incredibly hard to stall.

cyan gorge
#

If you donโ€™t own Nightingale, bringing multiple burst medics is recommended

old arch
peak cloak
#

do u have Among us?

#

i mean Sus

old arch
#

Um?

cyan gorge
#

Thatโ€™s good enough

old arch
#

Wait who's Sus LOL.

peak cloak
#

she could save u in some tricky moments

#

cyan gorge
#

My auto uses Ptilo, Silence, Purestream

#

All e2 tho

old arch
#

Ahh. Okay.

Also no, my Sus is underleveled. FiaDed

#

Okay sec sec.

peak cloak
#

๐Ÿˆท๏ธ

old arch
#

So hmm. I'm thinking that that since they're high enough level, three will suffice?

#

I also guess that for burst healing, Gavial is better than Myrrh.

cyan gorge
#

Oh yeah thisโ€™ll be easy

old arch
#

So I'll do Ptilopsis/Gavial/Silence.

old arch
#

Wait srs.

#

Also no spoilers, but this reassures me. So thank you

cyan gorge
#

I will say since you donโ€™t have a therapist medic raised, itโ€™s even more imperative to bring fast redeploy baits

#

Youโ€™ll see why

old arch
#

Will Waai Fu suffice LOL.

#

E2 80.

weak raven
#

lol how was i allowed to post this

#

As long as you can deploy them every 20 seconds, they will work

executor the "what the fuck was that damage my guy"

#

high dph phys aoe goes hard

jovial nest
#

I love that ch13's main gimmick is a payload objective

#

and good to know damage is what counts in the bomb's speed of movement instead of number of attacks

#

a good damage maxes the meter asap (used Ya2's S3 for experimenting)

scarlet mortar
#

it's hitcount based no

#

yh hitcount based

#

ya2 does two hits every 0.3 tiles or sth as she runs through it

full finch
#

she hits every 0.2 tiles

#

which optimally means 5 hits per tile

scarlet mortar
#

instant max stacks lmao

full finch
#

it's a circle so offcentered enemies will get hit fewer times

scarlet mortar
#

if you make her travel in the same direction as the payload you're guaranteed 5x2 hits though

full finch
#

yeah travel also affects it

#

but the effect is so fast that the effect is limited

scarlet mortar
#

yh you want to constantly push rather than just max it once

#

...while also keeping enemies away

limpid siren
#

DoTs on top again

#

delphine probably the most appropriate chapter welfare since heidi

#

dagda and morgan interacting with their chapter be like cheemstare

tidal sedge
#

Dagda could duel dogs on-skill but that was about it

glass monolith
#

dogs solo gladdia skadi so pog

limpid siren
#

dagda chapter talent was just generic strength though

#

that said

tidal sedge
#

The green number healing was useful to nullify dog DoT

limpid siren
#

ch11 was just a straight up brawl

#

and ch10/13 have very defined mechanics to interact with

tidal sedge
#

She was just hyper specialized to kill trash spam and dogs.

limpid siren
#

that is fair

tidal sedge
#

I guess self sustain is arguably okay for busting twigs?

limpid siren
#

so now we just dunk on morgan

tidal sedge
#

Yeah Morgan was strange. She couldn't duel ch 12 elites head on

#

Closest thing I can think of for a use is being warm 1 block body for Damazti stall if your deploy limit is stretched thin

Dr and shelter stack multiplic?

limpid siren
#

yea

#

damn what a throwback

glass monolith
#

Yes. Gladiia buff, S3 Stainless with itself included if you summon 2 S3, Shelter each stack with multiplication

tidal sedge
#

Hmm.

#

If Stainless 2nd mod allows for 3 devices on map. That'd be almost 50% phys damage reduction

#

From Stainless alone I mean. Would cost a lot of dp though

glass monolith
#

And alot of space needed, S3 is melee tile only after all

#

2 S3 and Quercus (S1 ftw) is already 46% CeobeConfused

to utilize the module best use res debuffers

Ifrit be like

44 flat res reduction plus a res shred

If you can get the enemy on that one tile SkadiDaijoubu

tidal sedge
#

With Arts/Phys Fragile being a thing, I wonder if we could see hexers that specialize in them

turbid badge
#

the less res , easier eben is to proq circle

limpid siren
#

they're quite shy about releasing more dedicated debuff/amp

tidal sedge
#

Unfortunately thats the case

void terrace
#

I mean we are still in a world that exu can destroy anything with enough support

limpid siren
#

5* still completely lack proper amp support

#

which is funny given how the rarity is the poster boy for "a tool for every job"

Though for res shred we'll probably get more burn element soon

Who isn't an executor. He is infact a reaper โ˜ ๏ธ

reapers kinda do just do it better

turbid badge

the true aoe job?

void terrace
#

Pinecone is really good for 4 star DMG tho

limpid siren
#

yea

turbid badge
#

having aosta and executor for 5* kinda wack

#

comparison

limpid siren
#

honestly

#

executor damage is solid

#

dude just has bum cycles

#

or at least that was true before la pluma

#

now pluma stomps him in both areas

#

aosta has his funny bleed/bind gimmick at least

glass monolith
limpid siren
#

but yea, both really suffer for stinker cycles

glass monolith
#

Could be confusing with someone else

limpid siren
#

but

#

this is assuming he's always attacking

#

which is not always true

glass monolith
#

fair, still sounds funny

limpid siren
#

i usually run s1 anyway though, so the quirk on s2 is kinda whatever to me

tidal sedge
#

I think a new spreadshooter could be neat but it's tough to think of how they could compete with reapers without needing 6* power budget

limpid siren
#

it's kinda map layout dependant at that point

#

if you remember west armory

#

that was a rare map where exec had a better tile than pluma

ivory nimbus
#

What? You're taking your Pinecone to kill boss or something? HellaUnamused

heady hedge
#

yes pinecone to kill d15 tlk

limpid siren
#

from memory this map had some iterations with shieldguards pushed forward to the 9 column

tidal sedge
#

Oh. That West Armory

heady hedge
#

huh

#

thats the ufo stage

#

not west armory no?

tidal sedge
#

I confused it for jammer daily

halcyon adder
#

Cringe ass map

limpid siren
#

wasn't its nickname west armory

ivory nimbus
limpid siren
#

because it replaced east armory

heady hedge
#

oh

glass monolith
tidal sedge
#

My memory must have jumbled up the names

limpid siren
#

it's all a lifetime ago at this point

#

but i think if executor module has leizi tier sp gen tied to it

#

or even half that

#

then he's infinitely easier to slot

heady hedge
#

if exec mod had sp gen s2m2 > s2m3 would had made a difference

#

actually, would it

limpid siren
#

no

#

but

tidal sedge
#

I don't see them being that generous unfortunately. But I'd like to hope.

limpid siren
#

he'll probably just get some lame damage boost yea

ivory nimbus
heady hedge

nope

also who using ling on tlk

if you're speedrunning to chapter 13, you can skip act 1 btw

Her defense stat is bad. Friedn support of Exu, Kroos alter, Pozy, etc etc. Can set up some damage dealers to camp her on top left ladder like Tequila, Mlynar, Specter S2...

I kill her but then she spawns again and throws that ice-thing and kills everyone on the way

bringing mlynar to FN is like bringing a railgun to a knife fight

Damn hoederer really is pretty ass

#

Like if you build your team around him he basically is unkillable but damn do you have to build your team around him

He needs at least 2 medics and stainless at the minimum

Stainless solves his defence issues somewhat

Yes I have them but shelter doesn't stack

And hoederer has shelter

Only highest shelter buff applies

How high is his?

void terrace
#

18%

#

Silence still works

#

But querc suffers a little

#

Stacks with stainless turret tho

#

Plus he can hit the turret for guaranteed healing

#

He's somewhat of a substitute defender with a high hp wall and scales off the number of medics to hospital him. Skalter is a no brain pairing too. His 70s skill duration is the real kicker allowing him to really just face off against threats and hold the line while still contributing to DMG unlike nian

But then again it's another jack of all trades situation

with your squad i'd keep myrtle bag blue poison exu cexas lumen

find a defender or two + gravel

the entire stage boils down to btfo'ing the drones

Almost clear it just the last elite seed being tankier then I thought

jess2 S2 is a menace on this stage

also the shield prints free SP from the seeds

Ling ain't built for Mandragora killing

you're better off borrowing Tex2 or Ya2 for pillar destruction and constant pressure

so even tho my amiya is level 80 e2 idk if its worth getting my own rn im on 6-11 there

spark sinew

guardamiya is not good compared to 6* yeah
what are you struggling with can this roster stall phase 1?

austere sandal
#

I made it past the stall once then my left side took too much damage and died off fast, one side is always left too weak it seems

spark sinew
#

phase 2 you can just drop the pillars on i believe (with like a bit of external damage)

#

the problem would be to not deploy in pillar path

#

it wasnt the boss in the 2nd phase, I was dropping pillars and my left side lane holders died off despite following the guide and using the same ops as kyos guide for that run

errr about that...... it needs healing i think

I have eyja alter e1 80 is it worth getting e2 for global heal? I dont know how it works but I heard its her best skill

he was holding left side lane with spot and midnight, I have both at e1 55 lvl 7 talents, would the trust really be a deciding factor on that side getting completely railed?

oh you're right on that one

like E1 55

Does lin dies to cannon?

Wait the chapter mechanic is not cannon anymore later right

there are problems with schwarz though
bag s2 sucks

you'll have to tolerate some ch10 artillery early on

BP s3 is her best skill, and since she's already at e1 max, might as well

You attack it to charge up the transporter and make it move, but enemy attacks can decrease the charge and slow it down/stop it. If it loses all its hp it gets destroyed and you have to summon a new one
