I used gnosis for ch12
Gnosis is boy, not cute ๐
The point is, its yet another part that is basically unplayable if you do not play soley on meta...
meta? 
The highest cost operator usabel in this part of the game is 20
I mean, I'd be glad dorothy be meta, but that's not the case sadly
This boss was so easy wtf I just bruteforced
damn, now that's a meta squad
who isn't meta in here
Eyja
I just want mudrock, rosmontis and fiametta, all is unusable for the entierty of ch 12
Boss doesn't have much gimmicks just kill
lol what
gnosis is definitely not meta
ok boomer not everyone's an old player with bruteforce account 
like the only "meta" op that does disproportionately well in ch12 is like mountain but i did perfectly fine without him
I'm steamrolling the entierty of ch12 with kyostinv guides, do not feel like playing if I cant pick whoever I want ๐

you forgot ines, but yeah
I played ch12 without ines p sure
Ines does well literally everywhere so
ye, but she was introduced in chap 12 so she's worth a mention
Ines is like only vg u need
man
Vanilla best
Lies.... Flagpipe need
ines bagpipe yum
I still only used flametail
ines is a good support pick for hard stages I can't clear alone
can yall explain why everyone loves ines so much lol
Bagpipe is dead
she's broken
Role compression
slow, invis reveal, fast redeploy, damage, dp gen
isn't she like canta with bit more utility
all of the utility
Some stages with and without ines feels very different
like she does a bit of many things but you usually don't rly need the extra no
shows you haven't used her
Bagpipe + Myrtle still used by guides for initial DP gen.
No but it helps
I don't dislike her but when I play her I rarely feel like "wow this unit so gud!!" kinda
yes because afk/high end guides favour ops that people have
ines is much better but being a more recent op fewer people might have her
She shines in hard content like is4 high d maps
is it some is thing again
so if guidemakers use her you have 50 iq players yelling in the comments section "can i replace ines with myrtle??????????"
nah
I mean is is the only true content
ines actually not that great if you just want some dp to deploy your afk
Afk runs feels harder to me to replicate without guides
afk guides are also not a valid way to play the game but that's something else entirely
afk's easy it's only hard when you tryna low step/low op
it's like 1p it looks harder than it is
Ok but flags are not afk. Checkmate
lol
idc about vgs either way agents or flags
it's the other dude who brought up myrtle lul
What kinds squad kyo uses for his high end ones?
no idea
afk skills
afk shouldn't use vgs tho no?
afk is about not playing the game
no they use flagpipe to set up
afk's a self limiting genre that's as valid as anything else
wdf using flag for afk lame af
lowstep and low op are cool
but guides that prioritize stability instead of intentional decision making aren't
Just use texas s1 if afk
just don't use vgs smh
Afk guides use units like hoshi shining skalter a lot
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
I don't sleep on hoshi
but not like bottom bottom
because, afk guides try to place all units as soon as possible so you can ignore the game for the rest of the map. Hence flagpipe for faster dp gen to get more 6
deployed faster
And, other than inital dp, vanguards is pretty useless most of the time ๐
most stages short enough as is honestly doesn't make a huge dif
like for anni maps sure
yeah vanguards are really easy to optimize out
Chap 13 favours aoe a lot
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)
man do I speedrun ch13 instead of playing afk journey
Is afk journey the child of afk arena?
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
Btw can I add u cake? I need more friends
I still have not made it to the end even once ๐
what in ak?
that's difficulty 3 ๐
I fail like 1 or two combat nodes after the first boss ๐
Ya
Kyostinv guide for 12-8, thorns, mountain and saria.... ๐
Ping me if u can thnx
sent you dm lul
Thnx 
13-13 once again shows that best way to introduce player to something is brutally murder them with it
they should keep doing that
Wait medic who is little late can't be blocked? fuck 
Wonder how long it will take till i will have "Payload killed" moment
borrow my 5*s
This fucking "reduce attack speed" taunt is so cancer
3.5k wow
whats the fastest way to do story, havent done it for a long time 
in to advance and just do them?
You have to finish normal then adverse
Adverse only unlocks after finishing normal
Not having built Cement and Aurora really hurts my no 6* attempts right now 
isn't this what juggernaut defenders are suppose to be
aswell as muesha and reapers
kal'sit too
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
delta mod out
pls show your ops then
Are u able to vc? @peak cloak I found a way to get arknights on my laptop. I can show em better that way
russian microphone, u wont hear anything
rip
so pls send some images
ok might take a bit then, standby
gotcha
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
yaaaaaa again mostly been using a low squad lately
that's what i'm gonna ask you when looking at your rosters
are u some kind of try hard person? just asking
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
casual gaming and 3* don't rly go together man
yaa tbh i probably should stop using kyostinv so much
thats where these squads are coming from
u should, man, at some points
kyo never said to build 3* only tho he says you can replace with higher rarity in every video
(I think)
dont remember
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
then forget the 3 stars lets go big. 4 5 and 6* teams
with a borrow it seems v doable the only concern I have is your medics
cause idk if ansel and hibi are enough
i also have ones like myrrh perfumer and others
are they leveled?
currently working on that right now. tho I cant do any promoting atm since the node isnt open
So is it thought Hoederer isnโta good pull?
@lapis hornet so myrrh currently is e1 at least
you alr have silence no need to level myrrh but okay
can you:
e1 Horn
e2 Typhon
Guys on 5-5 do I really need a catapult operator??
I don't have artillery operators that are high level besides low level ones
What you need one for and can you gravel bait or normal sniper whatever is going on?
Waht
Yes I can gravel bait?
bait the drone that bombing your ops
You still don't answer why you need Catapult
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?
if your squad members are low level, most likely die within one bomb
Kyo said it-
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?
@lapis hornet is that a support thorns?
can kroos tank those arrows?
kroos might die but it doesn't matter
Don't think so-
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
and pls switch silence to s2 too
As for typhons e2. I would need some extremely rare drops
you craft t4/t5 mats you don't rely on drops
Oh god i open that video with auto subs on and it just printed his entire speech on 00:00 
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
hi cake
otherwise do the kyo thing and switch lapp with a defender
Kyo just use Catapult for damage, you might get away with using just any other sniper
I meant for anni3 I have nfi what 5-5 is
Use practice plans if you not sure for win
Funny stage which always desyncs for me causing auto to finish faster than my original clear which triggers me
if you need a friend thorns ping me with your game id and I'll add you etc
oh this one
think I have a 2 op with archetto lol
catapult is just a generic aoe dmg dealer
Alrighty
2020 Grabel showcase

rat gaming
alright, stuck on 9-19. Anyone mind helping me strategize?
https://krooster.com/u/Grembo
playing chapter 13, why are the blood ambers so frail, only 3000 DEF 
Finally some content to clown around instead 6* abuse
me, watching the reedic explosions
Everyone can just Mlynar it. I can say "I did it, without Mlynar"
And i will do it again 
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?
Astgenne chain pattern
also, ngl, 13-21 is gonna punish a lot of people for not reading
I need to M3 Puzzle
unfortunately though, some people will just toss surtr at him and wonder y health bar not go down
there is the "90% damage reduction" part of his character description that people might not be reading
I dun read I just fk around and find out
so you're supposed to burst on impact 
I legit just spammed all the carts at once and then bursted the boss when I ran out of carts 
Are they usable? (Didn't got u-official simp sadge)
penance is usable
penance yes (with conditions)
The other two is stock?
flint is a 5 star of a defective archtype, vendela is pretty mid
Alright I'll just use penance
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
or sp support like blemi or chen so she can spam her s3 faster
myrtle + canti is usually enough
About the skill, what Skill should I use?
if you don't have sp support, then you just have to get her out early
Oh
Ok
Thanks
without sp support she still should be enough for most maps with masteries
Gotchu thanks for your time and help
sp support or getting her out early is mainly for her to stack barrier either through kills or S3 skill
Wait h-13 already out?
she's unhealable so that's the only way for her to survive
H stages are next week
or isit just youtube baiting me
baiting you with CN server replays?
Does the nuke gets affected by Taunt or does it still prioritize highest block count?
huh why's ch13 all ch10 redux so far?
the artillery? yes
you can see it with mlynar
I thought it had new mechanics
um, you'll see the new mechanics very soon if you go through the stages
does the ch10 cannon stay or
im gonna play 13 when i e2 hoed and querc
oh damn the taunt only affects the nuke when Mlynar's skill is active
Will borrow ur Delphine 
Good combinations for Vendela?
Has anyone else gotten Fiaโs second mod? I think itโs miles better than her first one
Yes its way better than the 1st one
speaking of mods does ebens 3rd mod make him usable? or should we wait for a 4th
He was always usable
Seeing her 2nd mod made me realize how cope I was trying to justify +10 aspd 
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
maybe i should have not used the word useable
ik he was always usable pre mod even
cuz his dps is high enough
idk maybe i just missing the point of all these mods stacked on him
trying to fix an inherently somewhat defective caster archetype
like the passenger saga
Is this ch13 stuff? I've been seeing a lot of these type of screenshots but idk what they are
Yeah adverse buff is just hp increase for enemy so prob not
which doesnt look like it
Fib how did those extra Ines rolls we told you to do go
i didnt roll

Inesless IS, rough
good enough
ish fine
im more concerned about no reedic mlynar and texalt

I can't even get past diff 3 so lol
rip
Mfw i had to slog through d15 with my borrow and yalter doing all the works
Jk the real mvp was kroos
same ๐ฅฑ
reedic yato carry frfr
Hi guys. So... 
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.
Itโs only hard if you have under built medics
hey adam :)
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.
hard stuck jt 8-2?
JT8-3*
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?
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.
Hmm..
How would that work?
The true damage.
Will shred through me.
So it seems incredibly hard to stall.
If you donโt own Nightingale, bringing multiple burst medics is recommended
So like, would some combination of Ptilopsis/Myrrh/Gavial/Silence work? ๐ญ
Um?
Thatโs good enough
Wait who's Sus LOL.
๐ท๏ธ
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.
Oh yeah thisโll be easy
So I'll do Ptilopsis/Gavial/Silence.
Easy? ๐
Wait srs.
Also no spoilers, but this reassures me. So thank you
I will say since you donโt have a therapist medic raised, itโs even more imperative to bring fast redeploy baits
Youโll see why
lol how was i allowed to post this
As long as you can deploy them every 20 seconds, they will work
๐
Honestly any strong defender will do, bonus points for having their own reflect already
You could also pick one of the liberators
I think sheโs more limited by how often ranged enemies canโt be killed by more traditional means than anything else

What would happen if these "imposter" civilians got into the blue box without being unidentified?
-1hp
who is goated for ch 13?
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)
it's hitcount based no
yh hitcount based
ya2 does two hits every 0.3 tiles or sth as she runs through it
instant max stacks lmao
it's a circle so offcentered enemies will get hit fewer times
if you make her travel in the same direction as the payload you're guaranteed 5x2 hits though
yh you want to constantly push rather than just max it once
...while also keeping enemies away
DoTs on top again
delphine probably the most appropriate chapter welfare since heidi
dagda and morgan interacting with their chapter be like 
Dagda could duel dogs on-skill but that was about it
dogs solo gladdia skadi so pog
The green number healing was useful to nullify dog DoT
ch11 was just a straight up brawl
and ch10/13 have very defined mechanics to interact with
She was just hyper specialized to kill trash spam and dogs.
that is fair
I guess self sustain is arguably okay for busting twigs?
so now we just dunk on morgan
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?
Yes. Gladiia buff, S3 Stainless with itself included if you summon 2 S3, Shelter each stack with multiplication
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
And alot of space needed, S3 is melee tile only after all
2 S3 and Quercus (S1 ftw) is already 46% 
Better res shred ops when
Ifrit be like
44 flat res reduction plus a res shred
If you can get the enemy on that one tile 
With Arts/Phys Fragile being a thing, I wonder if we could see hexers that specialize in them
the less res , easier eben is to proq circle
they're quite shy about releasing more dedicated debuff/amp
Unfortunately thats the case
I mean we are still in a world that exu can destroy anything with enough support
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
I mean shamare was broken enough for phys. But yeah arts shamare when

Paraminxs freeze module
shamare's strength isn't her -def anyway
Gives me hope for freeze silverash one day
If Amiya is getting class change in ch 14, I'm hoping she gets hexer or is burn ritualist
the -def is just incidentally cracked on top of what she already offers
Yeah her atk down is the ultimate kicker. Just neuters any threat
We need to go lower - Haze 
isn't haze shred
Yes. 30% at most with module
Whelp I guess it's time to waste all my remaining blocks on gay goat bois module
Shreding RES is amp of kind as long as enemy has any left
See y'all in a bit guys 
I still rememeber when Shelter was named Sanctuary so like whatever, it was never clear

Shelter was fan tl name iirc. But it being the first name it stuck
yea it's like old subclass names sticking around

i like broomstick better
Have we gotten a spreadshooter since Chalter?
no
Burninator casters
I remember when Pinecone was hyped.
Shotguns got passed to executor lmao
I guess reapers cut into their usage
Who isn't an executor. He is infact a reaper โ ๏ธ
reapers kinda do just do it better
the true aoe job?
Pinecone is really good for 4 star DMG tho
yea
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
i heard he has funny when mastery increase skill duration but he don't do another attack because attack speed? 
but yea, both really suffer for stinker cycles
Could be confusing with someone else
yea he can't use the extra duration properly iirc
but
this is assuming he's always attacking
which is not always true
fair, still sounds funny
i usually run s1 anyway though, so the quirk on s2 is kinda whatever to me
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
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
As a Dokuta with max Pinecone, I can confirm, she shred most enemies with her nailgun. 
What? You're taking your Pinecone to kill boss or something? 
yes pinecone to kill d15 tlk
from memory this map had some iterations with shieldguards pushed forward to the 9 column
Oh. That West Armory
I confused it for jammer daily
Cringe ass map
wasn't its nickname west armory

because it replaced east armory
oh
Hey it is olny map where i used S2 Nearl and it was for reason 
My memory must have jumbled up the names
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
I don't see them being that generous unfortunately. But I'd like to hope.
he'll probably just get some lame damage boost yea
Take your blue woman and get the hell out of here.
Wet blue woman.
who using chalter on tlk
Who care, figure it out.
no you figure it out
No you.
nuh uh
Yeah no.

Wait necrosis reduces enemy atk by 50%???
That insane. Even if ebon doesn't kill the boss he can still massively reduce incoming DMG and cycle with shamare
won't stack with Shamare, i am sure they speedrun removing that iteraction on CN
But they can cycle

And it becomes permenant 50% atk down
Ebenless anyway 
But being Vendelaless hurts more
How long will i need to wait for another 5* waifu material
it stacks
multiplicatively though, so -75%
Same
Her Defense stat is joke. Gravel can stall her for some time as she shouldn't oneshot her
Where the f are you 6-16 is "Black Rabbit White Rabbit" 
Yeah that one
oh it is name of chapter 6
I had two "main theme", Stormwatch and Partial Necrosis
if you're speedrunning to chapter 13, you can skip act 1 btw
if not then carry on
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

Ice thing is on timer she always do them
bringing mlynar to FN is like bringing a railgun to a knife fight
hey since when #strategy is chat which don't bring railgun to boss stages?
And nobody cancel tile ban RNG murdering him 
if you're bringing mlynar anw might as well cancel both phases with him
he should one-cycle
These are my usual bunch

I don't have Mlynar, but maybe some of my three friends have
i uh
HOW SHE IS ALIVE
yh
Just Phantom S2 her ass
bro uh
6-16 is fn right
just drop surtr?? or smth idfk
But this
i was expecting an E1 squad or sth with a single E1L60 6*
drop operators again bro
that squad is just bullying
Get used to literally everything having 2 healthbars at this point
I haven't played in years and it shows 
In FN case she just gain range increase and AoE move, compared to other bosses growing +1000 def out of their spine she is as hard to kill as phase 1
schwarz cancels her, surtr cancels her, SA cancels her, suzu keeps her in place
like
FN ownage montage
Aight I'll try to see where she spawns and drop everyone on her
also
hoshi s2 pls
S2?
SA phase 1 and schwarz phase 2 ig
ur mom

Without me
ATK based DoT is based on ATK? 
oh... what was module again?


Ignyus how's vendela?
HE HAS VENDELA 

probably funny to pair with units that already have their own reflect
she let 5* only do 6-5 cm duo though
stuff like that is pretty much her entire usage
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
Laughs in Quercus Silence Alter
Yes I have them but shelter doesn't stack
And hoederer has shelter
Only highest shelter buff applies
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
holy, this emergency map is so hard, there are some high quality mob swarm at the end
Fun unit tho but needs to be babied like hell. I started with him in IS and am suffering like mad from dogs
need to bring mlynar next time
Damage reduction when not blocked is mistake and should not exist 
expecially with that enemy line up
the boss is not hard, melted with 5 caster chalter
but other enemies are so tough, when chalter is off skill I just died
this would be so easy with degen
13-18 don't looks so bad
Casters leave into top left box
YOU WHAT
okay finally
looks like no more ch10 cannons that thing the most annoying mechanics lul
it's just the altar that res the worms?
Any idea how to clear 13-21 standard environment with these 6โ ? Most of tutorial vids use 6โ ops that i don't have and the stage is adverse, have different map layout
5โ and 4โ i up
Ahahaha i love this shit

You know why 13-19 has those Punishers? So your Ambriel/Lunacub couldn't push payload
honestly I hate 13-15 the most 
13-21 would've been a lot easier for me if I didn't try to speedrun breaking the alter 
are you willing to borrow?
cause if so u can just copy this ling solo
What problem u are facing? U have everything needed
If can, I want to unlock the auto deploy
Kalsit s3 will eat the boss,u have enough sustain and dps
Operator placement, I try to copy oyuki strat, but oyuki play in adverse and the terrain is different, I play in standard
Then play in adverse?
Basically block with ur defenders,make ifrit lane,put some healers,use gg to hit the bomb constantly
Texas surtr for emergency
rip cant help u cause i own like almsot none of ur ops sorry
Gimme some time I will clear it with ur ops
๐
what a dalao
try dis maybe
just use shining instead
or add a medic if not enough idk
wait nvm
no lee I saw furry but that was aak
Let's see who wins this war of attrition. This 6 ops attempt purely for trust farming.
I love when you spawn so many blood whatever then altar just give up trying to spawn all at once
yeah i lost
the range reaches the entire range
so i can't isolate those guys
I'll have to bring someone who can reach the payload
Ambriel
Old player who just returned to this game here
Can I ask advice on how to clear 12-17 CM?
The floaty thing has been killing me too much
I ended up busting out myrtle after not using her for awhile but the DP gen is still awful
who d'you have
Is spuria usable?
If it's help I'm missing some meta shit like horn or Typhon
you'll probs want a defender imo, just to tank all the seeds without hassle
two if you're needy
You mean the drones? Aoe healling is better against then
thorns is ass
Nearl then?
ST
My case perfurmer + pto worked fine
The seed hits so hard in adverse
try to bring a bait op like gravel
Oh gravel is a good call
She should tank few of those seed
I have no problems with the stage aside from seed really so I'm gonna try this again
ah fug i deleted my 12-17 endscreen
wdf 13-8 took 10 tries shit game
it was a 4op with skalter jess2 bag mlynar iirc
Bagpipe?
yh, just used her to break a box for free
All i can say - 13-15. Good luck 
laneholders are kinda eh in 12-17, there's barely any ground enemies and the caster is just a biiit too annoying to afk
with your squad i'd keep myrtle bag blue poison exu cexas lumen
and ines ig
find a defender or two + gravel
the entire stage boils down to btfo'ing the drones
jess2 S2 is a menace on this stage
deals good damage against practically anything, good cycles, plus she gets dodge so she ain't dying ever
also the shield prints free SP from the seeds
LMAO, Almond's paradox is just doing the hilarity that was done in Il Siracusano. Simulating crossing the streets and cars
and the guy is blocking the road
the paradox wasn't challenging
it was more of HG just wanting to have fun with making stories out of maps. Like what they did with Eureka's maps
is there any hope in hell that I can beat 9-19, I will level up literally anything at this point to get by the level even under 3 star clear
Im too new and too dumb to clear even following guides
why do you wanna rush so badly anyways?
tactical support event
man that's a high level amiya
that and the limited background that me in a year will hate me now for not getting
i can't imagine that team tackling further chapters but it will be quite the struggle. Who do you usually borrow?
i was gonna say just borrow ling, but she doesn't solo the stage apparently
Ling ain't built for Mandragora killing
you're better off borrowing Tex2 or Ya2 for pillar destruction and constant pressure
I tried borrowing a bunch of diff ops but none of them were working too well, I heard guardmiya is good but I tried borrowing and it didnt work
so even tho my amiya is level 80 e2 idk if its worth getting my own rn im on 6-11 there
guardamiya is not good compared to 6* yeah
what are you struggling with can this roster stall phase 1?
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
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
i used guardmiya to tank mandrogora and manfred, even on h stages, sheโs pretty nice
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
are we considering the same promotions, same levels, same 100% trust on everyone, same potential masteries
you might be skipping some details
I doubt Kyo would only use E2 Ceo E2 Amiya
and everything else is E1...
as a borrow in this team though? looks like a bad choice to me
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?
I'd say hold off a few days and e2 one or two more units
anyone you think would benefit from e2 most?
Have you got all rewards from IS monthlies/challenges?
the thing is, i don't see an operator they have that can be an easy E2 savior
There are lots of "free" upgrade materials and lmd
Even E2 Ines has her limits. She accelerates everything and is a good laner
but she ain't helping against Mandra
as long as Im not missing any challenges I dont see in is, ive done the monthlies in is4
i didnt mean to borrow, we all have our own after chapter 8, i kinda forgot how exactly we get her 
yeah but guy is at ch6
oh why trying ch9 now then 
i doubt they can breeze through to guaramiya anyway also let's be honest, investment is a bit wasted anyway already
at least you get one boss/elite killer
to unlock 10 11 12 13 i assume
the rest i don't see any
I HAVE 10 SNIPER TOKENS LEFTOVER FROM GETTING MEDIC TOKENS FOR E2 EYJA, IS THE MIDRIFF MY SAVIOR?
Wait ppl can speedrun ch9 now?
it's unlocked after ch4
Me on original Mandra clear - 20 minutes stall
Me now -
ngl i'm curious why do you have so many maxed 3* but i might know the answer
Also link the guide you're referencing from
I was told they are cheap and good for early game and I also was following guides for my first event 
i remember spawn camp left side with bibeak, she used to be my only way to stop those flying guys 
problem with low rarity guides are...
it's a goddamn newbie trap
to anyone who don't want to try it on their own
and just want to copy
I guess I will e2 schwarz and if I cant beat it I reap what I sow saving 300 pulls and skipping so many banners 
capping 3* is still cheap....but not cheap in early game
they're bad if you try to copy them, but they're fine
CCs should explain more clearly how to use guides
This guide?

This strategy is made by using really common operators and easy to substitute.
It's not essential to follow the steps perfectly.
Adjust the strategies a little bit for yourself to suit your own team comp better.

strictly speaking there weren't any insane ops to get in the latest banners so far
ye that is the guide ive tried like 10 times, ive tried others too but this got me farthest
a lot of room still for some more boss killers
Future BS is more BS than current BS
and
we literally have degen ray coming up
there's no real reason to pull for other ones
When does it fail?
ok so this is the thing...
Incoming Ray in 1 (51/50 current pity)
they want the UI, right?
cool but pulling won't help there
the UI requires a 13-11 clear....
first couple times failed at holding then after I upgraded healers my left side dies when the boss is walking down the midlane
my dude, that's a LOT of ch10-13 to clear
and those are not easy
not for your status
we're talking sanguine artillery
and it's not the roster itself that's a problem here (not the ops availability)
nachzerer dogs and army
100% trust max em
ops devourers
i feel like we're talking about different points
And watch out for skill timing
it ain't unlocking shit...
it unlocks next stages
I love those whip dudes in chapter 13 because i don't have 4*-5* which could no brain them 
does this matter btw?
tried adding more ops?
kyo also uses perfurmer
and you don't
does perfumer cover something eyja or warfarin would be worse at?
global HoT
so if Kyo is using isolated operators from medics
Perfumer heals them a bit
Oh hi qb.
ok thank you my friends, I will try to e2 shwarz and level my perfumer, I appreaciate all the help
get trust on midnight and spot too
what are you borrowing here
I borrowed saria for good result at stalling
i wouldn't bother with perfurmer tbh
and maybe borrow texas alter
chip the boss, chip the pillars, help left/right side

ok one tip
you have 2 medics raised already
you can go cosplay too
the last thing you need in your sitaution
is a 3rd...
you're better off finalizing your main squad
and E2ing everyone in that squad
SL7ing everyone in that squad
yeah, i just mentioned perfurmer as the reason why your left side probably dies, despite the guide being fine
Thatโs true, but where else to get maintenance posts? 
it's better to use other stuff to fix it
Also if your goal is the UI, raise your good units
I have a level 90 ticket im saving for skadi corrupting heart, would level 90 schwarz help enough to justify using it before I want to?
3/4*s can only get you so far
level 90 mountain maybe helps
schwarz technically would, but...
skalter....well you do you...
Max lvl E1s are bad too
theyre new
If you can't/don't intend to E2 them right away
oh you're right on that one
like E1 55
and only go up if they can promote e2
all the way to e2 40
newer players have the potential thinking that leveling from E2 is expensive
nah....
it resets the inflation
so E2 1 to E2 40 is cheaper
I know, I just want to let them know how to use lmd/exp effectively since their time is running out
than you capping it to E1
I started leaving them at e1 40, e1 55 better?
Can you post your roster again, sorted by rarity?
do they matter

leave them at whatever threshold you prefer
it doesn't really matter
just don't max without the very fast e2
๐ฑ true. Okay Iโm dipping.
I'd work on E2ing Bagpepe first
why....
With a healing defender like Gummy behind, BP can take care of left side I think
they need elite/boss killers imo
Schwarz is the play here
Bagpipe S3 sure can kill elites and maybe some bosses
but they need someone with more punch
They said they struggled with left side
Mountain too passive of a choice?
I don't know what they used
i would go schwarz/mountain yeah
Does lin dies to cannon?
Wait the chapter mechanic is not cannon anymore later right
Why there is a cannon
I was told to level ops to e2 that used s3, I thought mountain s2 and bagpipe s2 were the main skills?
there are problems with schwarz though
bag s2 sucks
Sanguine enemies are the common theme in ch10 and ch13
but yeah generally not a bad idea
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
soon they'll change gimmick to payload transporting
if bagpipe and schwarz will both help with it im good e2ing both, I have 13 days, that should be more than enough to get them both to e2
You sure you've got all these free stuff from IS2?
Eeeew
screenshot your defenders actually
I'd say bagpipe s3 is the better skill outside of afk stuff, but not every 6 star's main skill is s3
although yeah i think Schwarz is the play here
and for stages just borrow ling
it's pretty fun ngl
Everytime 'transport' mentioned i have genshin baloon ptsd
Must be something i need to babysit and explode midway
so i can't say I'm going 100% full power on these stages so far
I have been doing is4, I dont see all the options you have on is2 and some of them are locked, i I havent tried is2 yet at all
the bomb is tanky af. you only need to keep attacking it to move fast
Try a regular run first
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
while enemy attacks damage it minutely but the goal is it slows it down
there's no reverse
it only moves forward
or complete stop
Or dies lol
AoEs here are perfect
the bomb's tanky af
unless you really let that bomb sit there for minutes
I didn't have any die at all yeah
doesn't dot work
getting harassed
It does
May have to win a run first time
although idk just use double executors
also
as per usual
the speed of the bomb transport
So someone with high aspd or dot works well
depends on the damage too
so i use kafka here
you can nuke it
and it goes to max acceleration
but it needs constant nudging (attacking/damaging) since it loses speed after some movement
You'll then gain access to the IS2 monthlies and challenges. There are 8 monthlies, each can be done in like 10-15 mins
I just do it with Tex2 S3 and Ya2 S3. Unique cases of ground tile bans make me use some trust farm ranged ops
Boss kinda gimmicky ngl
well you can still ignore the gimmick
btw think about it a bit
with his collection/roster
he's pretty easy to stall, unfortunately
That's a lot of resource to jumpstart your E2ing
jusan please
Yeah his strength is just stun and it's kinda whatever
You only need to reach f3, and they give you 3 raised units
