ur specter will die
idk names youll have to send pic
iirc lappland dunks on that stage (as she does for any seaborn stage)
am i cooking
Gladiiacheeseless 
im trying surtr S1 for this
Main part is sugarcoat final wave sending 4 giga spear chads on top
oh does gladia just pit them
Gladiia + Ange S3 can hole like everything on bot (Or maybe with Ho'ol talent works too?)
Except maybe 1-2 enemies because Gladiia will sometimes kill small enemies between skill being ready 
omg it worked, my ifrit died for some reason, but mlynar saved my ass
Teacup dragon inflict DoT which do like.... Infinite damage
Like every 4 seconds it increased (x2, x3, x4, x5 original damage) and that shit lasts 20 seconds
what am I even attempting here? 
we'll see if this cursed idea cooks or not for afk (I didn't have typhoon)
I tried chungus but he didn't even finish loading when stage ended 
also obligatory rat gaming
not like any beyblades are reaching her when fiammetta is deleting them all
That sounds pretty good
shes below average
She's not good
She falls behind in dmg and can't really tank either
Hopefully
Her module can easily fix her when it comes out
She feels slightly undertuned at the momet
Still usable but she needs just a little more of something to make her stand out
idk i think she can tank fine. its just that it takes her lik e50sec to become a 6star. and then her dmg isnt enough to pay off
She is a very all rounded but yeah
ive never had an issue with her tanking
It takes too long to pay off
She keeps dying to the steam knight randomly
And I'm at E2 80
So just an 6* average arts guard
Yeah
Average is the word
Waifu tho
Like if you build a team around her
She can always work
bruv
She can tank it if her skill is up
laterally vivi hard counter
I have been in need of an arts guard that is not Mousse and also stays on the field more than Surtr
But keeping her skill up is the issue
As long as she blocks the first hit
She survives
She has a surprising amount of defence
Also I want to test out getting 100 res on nightingale
I just leaked the last trees at the end 
she'll still be taking damage
Hopefully I get Virtuosa before the banner ends, cause I've been getting railed by the gacha
minimum damage 
It would be a very funny solution to just nope an arts dealing boss
Actually I saw her being tested against the sanguinanrch
But nightingale wasn't used
that's called logos s2
OK weird request here but when I get back home could someone maybe spot me on my annihilation run. I've been trying for weeks now and I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I used a low level team before but now I'm using something totally different
what anni?
e0 1 blaze does nothing here regardless though
just send a screenshot of the map when you are ready
myrtle s2 
i'd say with 2 vangs it's better than s1
@spark sinew that was just a pic of the team blaze is e1 67
But global
While nightingale s3 is active Vivi would have 80 res off skill
@rocky kelp
And 100 plus res on skill
Which is pretty busted
Too bad there's not many big arts nuking bosses
tanking arts based bosses is not hard though
Yeah that's the problem
like why bother with 95 res
shes not dying to any arts anyway even without ng if you use any medic
It's a niche with no real threat
Exactly
I mean her module could easily fix her
what's there to fix though
Upping the chance on her talent to 30% or just giving it stacking sheilds
the archetype itself is just flawed
And she would be pretty epic
Lmao surtr
explain to me how surtr removing the drawbacks of the archetype makes archetype good
I don't care for the archtype
I just look at the uses of characters
Vivi is a boss/elite dueller
and yet you ping reply to this 
Whether arts or not
Lmao aciddrop
And she fails in her role due to rng sometime
Yeahh
If her rng was fixed or she was given res shred
I think she could easily be pushed up a bunch. I've been testing her with aak and skadi as supports and aaks aspd buff gives her the consistency on the shield she needs
To actually block off the dmg
it's basically impossible to suggest the strat without seeing your actual levels
We will have to wait for her module I guess
if everyone went in levels like that blaze, you should just stomp it š¤
idk i feel like people normally have e2 before they do anni3. its pretty hard. If I were to do it with that team I would probably do something like this. but I dont think this can reach 400/400
||ST specialists are just doomed, i'd say give up ||
@rocky kelp the only e2 I have rn is typhon
A friend of mine 400ed Anni 3 in a week by spamming IS till he e2ed horn on his first week 
I was astonished by the dedicatiob
Apparently you can E2 horn with IS mats and chapter 3 alone
Again lemme get home and then I can stream it on my pc
well that makes it alot easier, your main issue in that case is not having a reliable way to kill the drones on the top part
Why do I have a bad feeling this is gonna be one of those scenarios where my whole team needs to be e2
it definitely is not needed
all you really need to guarantee 400 for your team is like a gg with s2
or chalter
or pozy
it's not even close to needed
in fact i think this could've been cleared e1
with e2 sup you can easily clear 400 and then even go and clear rotating map
you could borrow and itd be free but im assuming you want auto
Which I have neither of those op sadly. Since I'm f2p my chances to pull are rather limited
I was just talking about if you were to borrow
you can always try to do it as is and it might work out
horn e2 would also carry pretty hard if you dont care enough atm
typhon and horn e2 can kinda roll the current rotating anni
Originally I was gonna use thorns as support but I'm open to other suggestions
thorns ifrit mlynar or even SA would work
I would use gg s2 in your case.
you dont really need thorns here when you have horn and others
your issue will be the drones on the side typhon isnt on
I've been trying to do a sa strat but I just can't get the timing down
are you looking at old guides or something?
if you want that kind of strat you can just place mlynar in the center
It only requires M1 on the third skill of Silver Ash.
If you already have an E2 Silver Ash, you can easily get an auto with him carrying, or borrow a support that you are missing.
The redeployment means more micromanagement, though!
Vigna can be Shaw instead.
This is the vid I've been trying to use
These are the only 6* I have on me atm so I'm pretty limited
so you had greythroat the entire time wtf
aa sniper hater
and lap
Well I replaced lap with blaze
clearly lvl 1 blaze clears
btw why wouldn't you put typhon closer to the enemy spawn
wait nvm
am i overestimating her
like instead of kroos here
I had Lappland on the team originally but then I scored blaze
Thought she might be a better choice
you could use typhon furthur up or just right more ye,
i thought he had typhon e1 so I didnt think she could kill the tanky drones since she will target big dudes on ground instead
i would cut a healer or a vang (or both)
And if we're talking Greythroat she could replace kroos ig
(also you might want to put default skills on typhon and blaze on s2 )
What do u mean
typhon sl7 lvl 30 does like 400 damage to crusher leader at max def ignore damn
iguess u need mod
to solo all crusher with typhon
he also has lap
I thought I had them set to default anyway? Hang on lemme get home first this is hard to discuss over text for me
I do better actually looking at the game the whole time
Tbh I was hoping to get kal'tsit so I could have her as a lane holder but the game decided to give me a second typhon
kal would be very useful but yeah
i wouldn't pull for older chars at all, if you only pull for them because they're "good" (besides reed)
future banners are much better and 3 of them are limiteds...
Funny enough I have 5* reed
i meant reed alter, that's my bad
Oh ya no don't have her. Only alter I have is swire
She was actually my first 6*. Started playing during the 4th anniversary. I just keep whiffing on my banners
no eyja reroll is tragic but it is what it is
Mountain horn and typhon are probably my best pulls so far
DOOT dudes stack ATK for first alpha strike. Purple music give them +150% ATK on top for lulz
DOOT?
I thought it was the shield guys that were doing it
Well all elites have big damage during purple sound. But those dudes most likely to be "oneshot" cause with that stacking attack
Bruh new Anni was easy af
And this is coming from a strictly "no 6 star" account
which Fiameta module is better?
i assume the one where she doesnt need to hit blocked enemies to get a bonus? aka def ignore?
the one where her hp doesn't go lower than 50% from talent
it might be counterintuitive
but the one with bonus dmg to blocked enemies is almost always better
esp at mod lvl2+
even when the other module is better it's not by much (at least on paper)
O hey, they still do "all annihilation stages are up" thing 
that's franka for me
Have never used my Franka tbh
she has a sweet "ignore all defense" talent
Probably cause there aren't actually many cases where you want an arts guard to hold a position for a long time
she's a fake arts guard, deals physical but can ignore defense
so not affected by res
franka is ntrk but from the paleozoic age
How easy we talking?
Shirayuki, Specter and Ethan killed everything on Mid. KroosAlt nuked the drones. Gummy + Astegenne took care of Bottom comfortably.
Yeah they are. You only need 2 powerful operators though. First to deal with the swarms of enemies on Mid and second to kill the drones.
Hmm could be tough since my only e2 atm is cutter
AVCās a little over a month
Iāll likely try@that once Arturia banner is done so I can grab Mlynar
You can still use multiple aoe like Shira+Ethan and maybe a fortress defender or centurion guard. If you have any kind of buffer then the drones shouldn't be hard either. Just make sure to bait the seeds if they're camping at the right side
I can easily murk drones as I got an archetto might try Ines gummy for holding bottom lane but uhh. What enemy factions in the new anni?
The wither sarkaz
You'll need to send Archetto on a trip around the whole map early to get rid of the tree guys. But the bottom right will be hard to get
Looks like imma need a yato alter with s3
U can leak the transformed tree dw
I tried using Astgenne S2 to get them all but the first ones died which made it impossible to damage the last ones. Same applies to Yato since she needs hits to go farther
After destroying or regardless?
Oh wait wtf? So they're literally just a distraction??
Wait what
So unless u are perfectionist u are fine to leak em, after 400 reached
I knew how annihilation works but I didn't think that the tree guys were extras.
Actually that reminds me of the Siesta annihilation were you could lose points from devices but still win cuz 400 kills
For example smt like "driver" from drunkard ship on DH anni, tokens from IW anni, standby robot from dv anni, and more similar stuff
They are not count towards kill counter
Yeah deploy slot device also same
Thats how annihilation works 
virtuosa is so good against the sarkaz 
Yeah, this annihilation mission is easy AF! First try win... Well, the tree leaked but as you said... Stopping them is not needed as they don't count to the 400 and by the time they start getting up to charged to the objective point, everyone is already gone.
You can annihilate the trees using Lin
I learned today that Pozy is basically useless if there's more than one enemy in fromt of her
I thought s1 only clear
Hellagur used to have the motto "My block is infinite. I just have to swing faster"
Also guess Witch King can silence your units
Not sure if any boss before could do it
Yeah I have no idea what I'm supposed to do
Also guess he doesn't go through a gate, but you're on a timer, cause the stage just ended
And I guess the silence is unremovable
Greeeeeat
Just great
Literally what are you supposed to do
U kill the thing attached to debuffed op
Also boss very weak to ball machine, so just go pew pew with any fast atk ops
This thing and boss from DoS also do similar thing
Didn't even notice there was something attached to the operator
Usually u should notice if there is different hp bar there
With how cluttered the UI gets, I can barely tell which operators or enemies are alive nowadays
Just look atThe color
Less silence more forced retreat
Thing is units with that digit on their faces can be attacked by others and freed
feeling like raising some 5* dps for IS
going to m3 teq
base might be wreckt
in the meantime
caster tickets 5* are pretty hard to utilize
maybe ill just use for harmonie
Oooh nightmare
Ya teta pro use mine
suppoer i have
deepcola
querci
orchid
euroka
casterlok so deadge
kugisaki 292 dalao
Lancer still struggling?
always has been
Nah man i trust he will get good 1 day
not really
i mean anyone is to a degree
but heavyrains whole purpose is kinda irrelevant
would this do? I plan on having kaltsit bottom of virtuosa and mon3tr above myrtle
seems doable. u do have yato to fix leak
yes as long as you don't outright die before 400
after 400 even if you die that's not an issue
and like realistically ethan's existence invalidates all the spawns that aren't like the 30+ hitcount ones anyways
if ethan is raised he can also bind
pudding is carrying those anyway
dw
try farming more dp
virtousa not exactly doing much on s3 rn. she need to proc and even then is only 1 hit per sec
make all ur units in lines with the laser
penance main skill is S3 even in anni style maps
at least in rest ave she's pretty flexible because she gets normal SP even outside of laser
can drop gummy, i might prefer reed s3 but otherwise it looks ok, don't get trolled by the jumpscare slugs
oops forgot to change
you got position recommendations other than the obvious mlynar spot?
just make sure u can laser everyone
i would probably swap gummy for another single target medic to divert laser down, i guess lancet 2 works fine?
boss goes through mid right? so I should place her there?
what boss
should I just have typhon facing up from bottom side?
i don't know
Ima do this instead, surely this is is afkable
i thought it was just me
Does Mylnar s2 target air?
lin will eventually take damage from the casters post 300 enemies
no
I can't even confirm if it lagged for me because i was not looking half anni 
oh no...
I bet itll be fine
It lags only like at the end of the anni
When there's three flying tower twats
Spamming endless fidget spinner
nah shes fine
didnt get hurt
oh lmao
shes just there to soak up the suicide bombers
Is lin mod3
Lvl 90
If so it doesn't take dmg from the normal caster
Only from the red caster
Which is post 350 smth
opinion?
mod3l60
I already finished it tho
Im moving onto rest ave
wait eyja is bad in rest ave right? lots of res?
meh Im sure itll be fine
s3
U just pop s3 when they line up regularly
And they die eventually
There's lots of standing still
From them
should I replace Penance and Mudrock pos
I meant to place mudrock beside the first vanguard
nah Ill do mudrock mid, so I can s3 bonk boss later
Penance u can put outside of laser technically
Im trying to figure out how will I have both Eyja and Mlynar hitting top lane
Damn I really like how Vivi perfectly syncs up with aak
I feel like she's gonna become my next lin
Where i only use her just caus aak enables her 
She does pretty sick dmg with aak buff and on a very short cycle
I am surprised how poorly she does against patriots phase 2
Like she should be able to tank him but with one medic and aak she still loses too much hp
Ive been doing this trying to figure out what to do
FUCK I LEAKED
170, probably top side
HE LEAKED TELEPORT SLUG 
no it wasnt
eyja and exu shouldve killed em
Then how the fuck one leak blook 2 crab if you have 2 block 2 on top
its the slugs
1 block 2 1 block 3*
they spawn instantly
at 170???
yato should handle it
Block 3 blocks 1 block 2 enemy and second does Fortnight dance as it leaks
those gap when they spawn if u have unlucky skill not up
they could just leak out
it spawns from right to left
so eyja would waste her skill on the right slugs
I am sincerely considering on replacing exu with virtuosa
for how long
I think the real pressure on top, bottom doesn't need that much
yeah, it leaked top
I am like 90% sure, 10% on a slug on 170 which Im not sure even happens

virtousa wouldnt change it
cuz if it were saga
exu shouldve hit it
meaning exu couldnt
so theres a lot of enemies influx at once
no no no, I wanna slow em at least
Oh yeah 2 block dude
No influx means tanky
So not killed in time then leak, i just realizes exu facing top, so yea maybe thats the problem, leak small fry bcause clay dude eating ur block long enough
on which side
Top
yeah virtuosa will do the trick I think
So instead relying on flux for easy debuff, elemental damage instead?
flux?
Influx
I mean its not like I care that virtuosa wont get the laser
alright I think virtuosa did the trickk
got pass 170 without any problems
Just yeah be careful with piper later, especially from front
Ideally u reflect the laser to reflector there to cover rear, front can be like that or lined up to avoid caster ability
yato shwing shwing
I think u are fine with those ops tho
what how
nice I finished it, reedic kept almost dying so Silence helidrop was nice
whats the strat for this that DOESNT use lappland cause I havent raised her, or any silencer op
Kill on stair or camp, use cleaner for the front occasionally
Also silence ability not just lapp
But yeah its doable
which stairs
Mid
wait would lappland e1 suffice???
They will not spread slime if killed inside it, on inside redbox
E1 lapp fine, some ppl did it with that. Tho not really perfect cause the duration and interval. But doable
Since u have roomba to cover the miss
https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1Ae4y1v7As i will just slap the vid like usual lmao
I found a 6 op trust farm video
Thats not the point, just e1 lapp thing u asked
ah
But yeah silence not really mandatory, but gud thing to have here
wtf just happened
you got fucked by the weeds
the floor happened
the afk was going fine
it's not fine if they are dying 
floor happened
PoV: E1 lapp 0.00001 second downtime on silence during SN event 
Also there is creep spreader from top box around this time and if Typhon don't kill it inside red box it will spread
ah
Biggest cancer is bubble boiii, it spawn creep constantly unless silenced below 50% HP. And E1 Lapp don't have 100% uptime to prevent them from ever doing it
The relevant wave only happen around twice iirc, so lappland uptime can be covered by roomba
top lantern guy also free kill most the time
No need copy pasta afk run with ur lv tbh
wow
pot 5 lapp? cause pot5 gives +1 silence time so e1 lapp works. Either that or you got lucky 
"it works with E1 lapp"
What if his set up be like 
Can't die to creep if you cheese hard enough
the amount of times I have seen e1 lapp fail to silence an enemy properly is 0 times
0.2 window go crazy
To my luck 0.2 second window to F up is sure guranteed to happen 
"So you saying there is downtime?"
Just aboose stair
e1 level 1 civlight can do this to patriot
low level grind was never this easy
who needs e2 ops
3 cycles

enemies with more hp than this will probably have low stats to boot so true damage becomes irrelevant
well i mean. if she has masteries and stuff ig she could reach a reasonable amount of extra dmg
not really
i think the max is a little bellow 1100
e1 level 1 sl7 she already does 608
how many balls hit per skill?
masteries do little to increase her dmg
1 min
29
seems to be one per second
last one cuts short
š«”
this for sl7
so ye
thats pretty decent
basically 2 necrosis procs
for free when you use her for bind
she also has an atk buff so it makes very easy to kill dangerous enemies
perma bind, put something to hit the target, it will also deal extra dmg if in civlight's range
Like skalter?
skalter crutches healing more than inspire
ye my theresa is only e2 lv20 and she 2skills patriot with alot extra room too
Any suggest ops to farm ZT-8?
mlynar
Change melody to yellow when batter like guy appear, twice for this stage
Why have u left their shields up
Because its on purple state, they will gain shield. Just change melody or brute force
Step 1. ????.Step 2. Orange. Step 3. More orange
Not what i asked but ok
All you need to win is switch music to orange when part 2 and 3 starts or DOOT dude on left will stun 10 seconds into blue box
like this?
Yes, but redo it (u leaked)
It is practice plan 
yeah, that's for drill
can you see the practicing?
Seems like it. Lowest I could pull off was a 3 op clear.
just Ling
2 op is possible
meh , ling is boring
I never said it wasn't possible, I just said that 3 op was the best I could do.

can you hypothetically handle right side with arturia s3m3 only
while left side being handled by typhon
well specifically said s3m3
because iirc the necrosis dmg doesnt dmg arturia
it will still be blocked by the shield
This shit for speedrun, will stay with 3 one
Ulpian angle real
ulpian is earthshaker
Oh wait yea that one
aka hammer archetype
Blunt weapon
blunt , idk man
Why not S2 La Pluma on bottom right for faster kill 
Oh you didn't knew where 4 dude go, 
ik from brute force speedrun brainded
š„¹
What's the 'can't follow tempo' thingy of boss' phase 2 mean?
ulpian will become a new guard archetype
i think it refers to you cant control the resonance aka the king control himself
so hes the one forcing it between yellow pee and purple taro colour
you cant use the device so
yah
Haven't there been enough branches of guard yet lol
No uh
This means stunned enemies take art dmg or sth?
yah i think so
Final version bit slower than usual speedrun
Modless pluma detected, poverty problem
Yeah u are set, only man eater later, ur ops fine tho
Gavialt s2 also can camp them
yeah that's what I have her on but not sure if there's a good spot for her yet, waveclear is good, haven't even used Lin skill so far
Gavialt beside eyjaberry face up, tho not really optimal since the cycle
Oh is the top left where the maneater spawns?
do they stand in the middle forever?
what wave they spawn
the only damage i see is fia
I have Texaler, Surtr, Gavialter, and Mlynar on standby tho
i assumed your question was because you wanted to afk?
Just looking for a consistent Autodeploy clear
because there's not much you can change with deploys in this comp
Thats not afk obviously
I just want the first clear for autodeploy and the free orundum is all
eh, lin (maybe it's s1) and then fia + 2 defenders probably afk most annis
My lin and Fia are both S3M3
I need help
there's also this for a speedkill
like +3s from optimum, not bad imo for a 2op
I used 5*
yep, ty for help was ezpz
For general content
saw a bunch of 6*s above so i just went for it
But your speedrun gud regardless
not yours

it's a funny farm stage 
My clear of that is probably molasses
I didnt help anything, good job btw
ty. My account has gotten to the point now where i'm kinda broken and most things are pretty easy as long as I use the right characters so
Yeah this will be notable node to memorize 
Noice
Need help Lungmen Downtown
so which part are you exactly struggling with that many e2
With those ops there should be no problem
leaking drones ?
What is the problem? You have the operators to handle everything right in front of you, what exactly are you having trouble with?
2 vg overkill
there is no way your best sniper after schwarz is kroos
the dumb drones
nah texalt in anni is fine
wheres your snipers?
if schwarz is just on drone duty put her on s2
Drone duuuty
Drones are not dumb. They accepted that floor is Surtr
Anyone knows what the shooting interval of that funny canon in zt10 is?
Capped to 2 per second, sum up all damage taken by blackhole between shots and does it as physical
Ty bro
yato s1 
holy shit its so close
e2 Puzzle S1 Stainless S3 combo is 1dp per second. Moduled Merchant is 0.66 DP per second. And Dog boy... Exists i don't know his numbers 
As much as people like shitting on Vigil, all tacticians have pretty meh DP generation.
To the point Beanstalk is the only one who sees much use as a DP gen option. Blacknight is sleep stall and Muelsyse is "wait, she generates DP?".
I shit on him for his utility being linked to melee pet being alive while said pet has less stats of all pets and revives longer 
The devs put WAY too much value on the wolf lives mechanic.
Ahh well, being the only male 6 star vanguard means he still finds a home in nicheknights.
Being bad to make it into "Not meta knights" 
Which skill i should M3 on Viviana?
why shouldnt i do ?
she's not good in the current meta
and virtuosa?
Viviana = S3.
Virtuosa = S3 >= S1 >>> S2.
For Virt it seems to be super common for S3M3 and that's it. My friend support list is full of them.
Viviana is a so-so duelist. She has the ability to deal lots of single target arts damage from behind a defender or a wall which helps her out a lot.
See
So close!
I wonder if I would have held out better with perfumer e2 or@if I brought silence alongside perfumer
This is where I generally start to crumple
Ok I know the dp is overkill
use aoe sniper before that part
Hmmmm thatāll be a little rough since I really only got pinecone and meteor as AoE snipers (and pinecone generally needs the enemy to be in her face for this)
retreat kroos
Again I donāt have any AoE snipers that are raised
use meteor/jieyun/shirayuki/catapult
Guess Iāll borrow for the clear
Again I literally donāt have a proper AoE sniper
I do have shirayuki but not built and my resources are going to be invested in Mlynar as well as Ines E2
no wonder it looked weird
shira e1 is needed for the base anyway
Was a good run for no borrows tho. Only cutter was e2 here too
lol
I do have but just cutter
Thing is I plan to burn my free@pulls first. If I get Mlynar Iāll e2 him right away (I am ready)
If he spooks me somehow in those free pulls Iāll get reedic
and that is related to not borrowing units...how
the chance to get mlynar is minuscule anyway
he's okay
as some people here would say
Again Iāll just burn my free pulls first
Had a friend who got Mlynar from the selector and literally got a dupe on his next free pull
I could borrrow reedicā¦.. hmmmm
you can just borrow anything and win
or literally e1 1 shira those casters
given that you need to e1 1 her if you want to play a game for longer than 4 months, probably (she should pay for herself by that time, due to your base producing more)
Whatās shirayukis e1 skill for base?
Iād really rather not burn lmd to e1 shirayuki til after I get some e2 six stars
Since thatās a REALLY expensive endeavor (all the way from e001 Mlynar and e160 Ines)
question
for frozen abandoned city annihilation....
how well does weedy s2 work here? if it works at all anyway
I know people use Shaw S2 to push shit off. Not sure if Weedy S2 works as well or need M3 to work
yeah i tried shaw there and it does work
s2 > s1 > s3 for me
all the more reason to do shira first
Is that for Vivi or Virt?
Arturia it seem
Interesting take
Virt S2 is interesting for what it plays with and what it wants.
How to use Texasalt? I feel like Iām using her wrong because she always dies so quickly

Join my Discord server to discuss in-depth about CN Arknights, also known as "what-is-to-come-in-Global"!
Link: https://discord.gg/JuhY9fSwCk
This is a brand new series I'm trying out to give an retrospective analysis on an operator based on CN players' perception on them over the 6 months since their release on CN.
BGM:
å”壬å±ē-MSR _ Elvin Shen ...
So, you either position her in a way so she doesn't block someone dangerous, or you use her S3 so the constant micro stuns help keep her much safer.
The synergy with reed S3 is pretty cool
what's non traceable dot
Like reed
like how do you differentiate
Ugh
isn't she an example of the opposite one
since she works with virt2
"Non-traceable" in that list are all fixed amount DoTs.
I think it's based on atk% vs fixed
Meanwhile the ones she does work with are all based on the operators attack.
Like ling is traceable because she has dot based on atk%
oh so like harmonie puddle as well
Harmonie puddle would not since it's a flat 250.
I forgot what was harmonie's
3x3 tile of 250 damage each second.
Oh right her s2
So, rule of thumb for damage over time. Fixed amount = no work with Virtuosa S2. atk% = work with Virt S2. I'm certain there are exceptions to the rule.
It's not quite as simple as that
Harmonie triggers it
other examples are the nightmare effect you get from weedy S3 and Nightmare S2
Well harmonie isn't a dot tbh
both trigger it
Ling, Reed alter and Spalter are not DoTs either.
i mean it's a damage over time
"fixed interval attacks" more than DoT.
although i do concede that usually people mean dot debuff when talking about it
^^
But who actually knows outside of testing each and every one.
DoT is like inflecting someone and then letting him take DMG from that infection
What am I saying
Anyway
Which, if it's that distinction I wonder how Ascalon works.
Yeah, it's very much a DoT but it doesn't snapshot.
i think we lost the initial message that lead to it
i don't see how virt s2>s3
or even >s1 but i didn't really use s1 so no arguing here
Yeah it's very interesting take
Guess the AoE did make the diff. No borrows too
If you have a bunch of ops that do a whole bunch of hits then S2 can stack necrosis the fastest.
aoe sniper is the answer
Came REALL close too
Like Exu or Archetto.
Was able to drop Ines and Beagle back in as those giants were about to touch the undeployable panels and plug the@gap
Shirayuki saw more use@since archetto was busy helping gummy hold the upper lane
Her skill does bounce but it does heavy damage on the avengers. I usually use it once theyāre low to ensure a kill
virtuosa
Virtuosa and S3 last on priority to use? 
I think it was Viviana coping
Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of S3.
Yeah, I have S1M3 and use it by far the most.
virtuosa s2 and ethan s2 is what i do most in is4
i found it hard to justify picking virt at all
people draft the weirdest shit as starters istg
@gray stone can you test ascalon dot with virtuosa s2
Virts biggest enemy is HP bloat.
her s2 carries floor 1
I tried Virt start, then realized I liked Jess/Reed/Lin start more
The fixed 12k damage without someone like Eben or a necrosis primal caster to utilise it, it's very...
Oh hey look who came in recruit
i think shes fine in is
its not like their hp is that bloated
aoe arts is the king so why cant aoe true dmg work too
also with is buffs her s1 is a single skill to proc with s1m3 iirc
Even in main story with stat bloat. Though I would be fascinated to see Virt vs dzamati cluster since it's multiple people sharing a health pool, each with their own elemental hp bar.
i feel like you can treat eben/logos as primals for now certainly don't even try to cope diamante
he's so sad
They're basically primal casters that trade much higher damage for 20% less elemental damage%
So uhh is May worth building?
May is a stun/slow sniper.
Best 4* sniper
what happened with "i save for e2 6*" 
may is alright
shes pretty good
in terms of early snipers you want kroos, then probably may or caper. up to you
No vermeil
shes worse than may by far anyway
Looking for someone to pair with archetto. I do wanna upgrade from kroosā¦.. eventually
i beg to differ, vermeil is miles more useful at the level i mentioned
what chapter are you on?
Still chapter 5. Iām not really progressing story as Iām farming Zt event like mad whenever I can for the devicesā¦.. and event money to clear shop
ye I would just stick with cheeto
you wont need a 2nd aa after like ch5-6 anyway
like ever
only reasonable thing would maybe be if you have trouble right now with drones and didnt upgrade cliffheart, then you could upgrade may, and she will also be useful for ch9
Cliffheart? I only got her skill to s4 so she could yank those armored enemies and avengers into the pit for ani2
do people use cliff vs drones a lot?
Didnāt really level her up
for ch9, not for drones lol
š¤
...what was that you needed cliff for ch9
levitate
Iām assuming thereās a lot@of pits I can abuse
??
Hoverboard stun I assume
the enemies that levitate, they have highish def, and loose airborne when stun
ā¦. I see. Iām guessing thatās why I want may
For the stun
Wait youāre talking bout those dudes on the flying platforms right?
Why primals have low attack is a complete mystery to me.
Diamante = 643
Amiya caster = 682
Elemental burst numbers.
Diamante gets 75% to 482
Logos has 761 atk and his module does 60% so 457 but all 3 of his skills boost the attack.
Eben has an atk of 1550 and deals 30% for 465. But Eben has anywhere between 1-4 different buffs before his stacking charges.
The ones that hit the ground and lose their backpacks once they get stunned or whatnot?
i feel like it's just new archetype 5* tax
it honestly feels like HG still just compensates for tequila and pluma
I heard pluma@is crack
so our new arche 5* are gutted stat/kit wise
Sigh
Meanwhile 4 stars seem to be in better shape. Heard caper is actually pretty great
eh...
caper is not bad, but for example verdant...
4* also receive units very slowly
3 star players be like.
good news, no powercreep at all!
Oh she's a monster laneholder. Except when facing high DPS arts. She crumpled like an autumn leaf when the sandcastle builders and architects come out.
she's pretty frail in general, but s2 allows her to survive very well vs frail trash
Try arturia start and get archetto
Archetto s2 insta pop Necro on multi enemy
La Pluma works best when you treat her like a Mountain who trades self regen for "heal on attack" and attacking up to 127 enemies at once.
That's with her module right?
It's why she was incredibly popular in CH13 since those blood spear pillar things kept her attacking and healing.
i can only get archetto on temp op
but noted
No module.
It was a joke about how "true AoE" is actually one less than 128 because computers.
Her module basically adds a bit more healing per attack and some attack when passive is fully stacked.
Oh. But iirc her mod details correctly, her attacks become kinda like splash caster AoE.
I think arturia start + Ethan + archetto + qiubai draft will make a unique system for is4
No, by default it attacks all enemies equal to block count.
No.
It attacks all enemies in range. Reapers only heal for each enemy hit up to their block count.
Worked that way since day 1 and if you have a reaper even at E0L1 you can see them dealing damage to 3+ enemies at once.
Weird. I always thought it was that they could only attack up to their block count like crushers or centurions for the longest time.
Guess I was wrong
Take her into CH13 in a stage with the blood things. You can see her dealing damage to a lot of enemies per attack.
No module needed.
On that note, Humus could basically be immortal with his talent.
One of few ops who can survive the londinium cannon.
And yeah, if he is facing enemies who don't hit hard he is basically an unkillable god. Face him against slow but hard hitters you're probably going to have a bad time.
they only gain hp up to block count
A great idea for another reaper module would be that they heal equal to a percentage of damage dealt.
Ehh, with defense bloat early on it's OP but as you progress it will eventually become a detriment. The same problem Jaye faces.
yeah i feel like it wouldn't help them much
they only do much damage vs trash (ignore executor, he also heals a ton anyway), and they kill it fast enough to not need better healing
Plus, right now you can find a balance where they act as a self healing defender because they heal more damage than they take, but don't deal enough damage to do it without help.
And for a crusher module, I'm really hoping that it gives them some sort of shield they can sustain.
It balances the lack of defensive stats.
I'm kind of curious about earthshakers tbh.
"Oh cool, it's like a crusher but not awful"
Meanwhile people try to make crushers laneholders when they're more like dreadnaughts that trade their paper thin defenses for the ability to attack 2 at once.
I'm excited for Aroma, the new blast caster. Mostly because that levitate means Ho'olheyak synergy. And Cutter too.
It's weird. The devs know what they're doing with crushers way more than blast casters.
They nailed it with Ifrit. And now they're just filling out the roster with filler.
Ifrit has so many things to make her work it's kind of bonkers.
Res shred, fast SP generation, atk_scale on S2 and S3, def shred on S2, even more res shred on S3.
Corroserum has none of that to the point of having a self stun on his damage skill.
Aroma levitate being tied to her talent at least means other ops can help meet the conditions on her skills more than once.
Though Ho'ol S2 could be rather fun since Aroma deals like 2k arts damage when levitate runs out with her S2 active and Ho'ol S2 is basically instant.
Ho'ol levitate is 1 second.
Lin is really op in this anni. the seeds both makes her skill cooldown lower, but also gets one shot on skill allowing her to proc her shield explosion more often.
also rare times where aak gets used to combo with
Annihilation 22 Decaying Waste No Vanguard 3 Ops
Thumbnail is Lin by äøē®YYB
BGM
QuiQ / owl*tree
Vertical Eclipse / TAG
IF-U / Misoi...

22 is a nice rest spot before the increase of 23 (ChongYue event) and then 24 being Eyja alter event (with boss) and 24 being Muelsyse event with a whole host of tanky enemies.
Yeah, anni 3 is a definite hurdle.
I think Iāll revisit it once I upgraded@my@healers@more
3 lanes to defend + crossbows = pain.
or borrow something good
From the crossbows as theyāre usually healing someone else
I did I had a penance on loan to solo one of the lanes
healers shouldn't die since you can block the bolts for them
Penance never died through the thing
Yeah, bolts hit the first ally unit thing then stop.
that's like the worst lane to use penance on although she kinda sucks on this anni anyway
pre 300 basically nothing scary goes top
after that you might get a crusher at most
The arts master murked my crew
Maybe I should have brought more anti air
The giant arts master
Also.. that was a LOT of bomb tails
0_0
Yeah, arts drone will joyfully murderise anything it can get its laser on.
Anni 3 is a hurdle.
Honestly surprised I made it to 300
300 is good.
I died shortly after due to that@giant purple drone murdering everyone after archetto bit it to a crossbow bolt
you can bait bombtails
Your next barrier will be somewhere around 350.
I was not expecting the bombtails tbh
gravel actually would help with both
If I kneww Iād have brought gravel to tank em
I was literally@going in blind
Also
I need Ines e2
For the invisibility detection
wouldn't really help here
just block them...
Like borrow him and have him as one of the guys@holding mid?
A LOT of invisible enemies go mid
I think it was the bomb tail wave that messed me up
I was think g oh just a bunchās moons not@too bad (crossbows show up)
Of course theyād show up (waves of drones start spawning)
yeah you just block them and kill them that way
It was the bombtail wave that messed me
Thatās why I had no aa
Also I take to it casters wonāt be that needed here so I could probably@go with Kroos instead
May@might help butā¦. She isnāt gonna take those shots well
For a sniper (which in general tend to be glass to begin with) sheās even worse in that department so canāt take return fire at all

Pain
The last 3 are translations from CN.
Back when i started there was only 9 
Same.
Also realized late I lost both dp generators so I ran out of cash to deploy DX
14 spams high level red enemies.
Iām going to want a full e2 team aināt I?
Then because you have 2 teams (1 for enemies, 1 for token clean up) those spammed red enemies can wreak havoc.
I have a feeling if I had my units leveled up more they may have been able to eat that better
at e1
