strategy

[vital arrow]

Idk what is she doing there then

[normal heron]

might as well use Kal instead of ntrk tbh

[cursive basin]

oh wait i dont have thorn to subsitute

[normal heron]

you have Lappland ?

[cursive basin]

ye

[normal heron]

I use Lappland instead of thorns and it work perfectly fine

[cursive basin]

dammit i have been alot trial pratice card use im only 2 more left

12

oh4 left

i keep losing

i had one extra slot who more bet to use

[vital arrow]

Where are you dying

[vivid rain]

wait is that the damn afk strat for s-3

[vivid rain]

why do you need yalter anyway

[cursive basin]

i use gavi alter

the mob really annoying

shield and

those long range attacker

i managed to kill the bost on 1 run but too many mob

[normal heron]

have you consider removing Ntrk

and use Kal instead

[cursive basin]

there alredy kal

dead

[vivid rain]

dont let her die what

what does she even die to?

[cursive basin]

long range attacker

harrpy potter wand enemy

[vivid rain]

why is she being targeted by them???

[cursive basin]

one by one annihilate my whole ass team

[vivid rain]

hmm let me think a bit

[cursive basin]

tanking the shield bait my team to attack and long range attack attack them

[vivid rain]

so because you are using kal for an additional lane holder, you need and additional ranged slot for kal on the left

move ng, skadi and exu up, place kal below ng,

oh wait skadi cant hit the tuner then

[cursive basin]

skadi alter supporter one

the honoured one

[vivid rain]

oh ok i got it

[cursive basin]

let kermot cook ye

[vivid rain]

exu and skadi where she was, ng on top facing down, kal on bottom

deployment order so that ng is last to be placed

move your ground units up a bit to fit in ng range

dont know what the fuck nearlter is doing there, might as well use her as a tele bait for witch king

or use her to kill drummers ig

btw do you have a shifter built?

[cursive basin]

let me see

[vivid rain]

force 2 should be enough

puller is even better

multi lane targeting like cliffheart and gladiia should be the best

[cursive basin]

for bait and extra free slot for too many exemey to kill them

[vivid rain]

hmm ok

[cursive basin]

i dont have good puller

but pusher

who should i swap with lappland for pusher

[vivid rain]

hmm sure

what skill level does gladiia/snowsant have

cliff heart too ig

if they have moderate force level it's enough

but since you have weedy i think you wont need them

use her s3 and cannon to push the casters into the hole

[cursive basin]

both rank skill 7 snowsant and glida

[vivid rain]

maybe even the elite caster/cellist too

honestly you have weedy built alr so just use her

[shy viper]

hi, i need help event

stage 10

how should I label my box

[vivid rain]

huh?

[shy viper]

box unit

[vivid rain]

what box unit

[shy viper]

operators

[vivid rain]

???

[shy viper]

filter

[vivid rain]

what are you even speaking man

what does the filter even have to do with event

[shy viper]

so you can know what operators I've got

for a strategy

[vivid rain]

ohhh

[shy viper]

[vivid rain]

either by rarity if you want a good team or by level because im not going to look at your unraised unit

[shy viper]

I think level is good enough since I don't have much raised

give me a second, thanks

I have myrtle as well

[vivid rain]

first: what the fuck are these levels
second: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFLbDXPKCyA&t=9s watch and improvise accordingly

also dont level operators up to lv90. it cost the same amount of lmd/exp as raising them to e2 with like 10% the stat gain

[shy viper]

so lv90 I leave it to the end

whats a good level for e2

[latent monolith]

40-60 is fine

[vivid rain]

keep them at lv40-60

[latent monolith]

60 for module else can be a bit lower

[vivid rain]

aka the unlock level for modules

[latent monolith]

5 and 4 stars get mod at 50 and 40

[shy viper]

okay let me watch it, if I can't see to clear it I will be back

and okay noted, thanks guys

[vivid rain]

the point where the stat gain/lmd cost starts to ramp up is lv 56

[latent monolith]

Never leave ops at E1/2 lvl 1

the first few levels are very cheap

[shy viper]

will do

[latent monolith]

do at least 20 even if you can't 40+ everyone

[vivid rain]

lv60 myrtle lmfao

[shy viper]

myrtle is e0 lv1

[vivid rain]

good

[shy viper]

[vivid rain]

keep it that way

[shy viper]

wait really?

[latent monolith]

ye you already have E2 canta and texas

[vivid rain]

texas is e1

[latent monolith]

maybe E1 myrtle if you really want dp printing but that's it

just level her skill if you're using her (she can be lvl 1)

[ocean ether]

Get operators to module level corresponding to their rarity

[shy viper]

her second skill is better than her 1st? I saw it cost more cost tho

[shy viper]

yes, I was thinking to e2

[vivid rain]

her second skill is dogshit

[latent monolith]

her first skill is better but skill levels decrease the sp you need

[latent monolith]

not a high priority

[vivid rain]

not even a priority at all honestly

[shy viper]

I didn't know they had a level for modules, thanks, these guys just explained to me so found out

[vivid rain]

she comes up for pot simulation for silly people and that's it

[ocean ether]

40, 50, 60 for 4, 5, 6 stars respectively

[shy viper]

oh I see, thanks

[shy viper]

thanks

[ocean ether]

the amount of resources to get from lvl 60 E2 to lvl 90 is more than from E0 to E2 60

[shy viper]

didn't know

just been throwing exp on them

[vital arrow]

The more you know

[ocean ether]

ok, slightly lesser to get from 60 to 90... but still horrible LOL

[latent monolith]

The lmd cost for E2 60 - 90 is about the same as E0 1 - E2 1

[shy viper]

okay I will try to work on all the operators that are used

[shy viper]

I will leave it for last then

okay im going to watch the video

and see if I can clear it by my own

[prisma oar]

how to deal with zts5 challenge mode?
I'm stuck when those wind player appear in the second phase

[tidal sedge]

Is witch king alive or dead by then?

If alive, most people opt to kill phase 2 witch king asap to minimize enemies being empowered by music at inconvenient times.

If dead, either block them at spawn so they don't gain much atk from their effect. Or avoid blocking them and kill with cc + range. Or soak with a strong defender/high hp guard and competent medic.

They do arts so Nightingale can make them much easier to soak if you've access to her

If you can't kill witch king quickly, your options to deal with them will be more limited as they do much more damage and they inflict stun during melancholic phases.

[ocean ether]

Just keep smacking the ball and turret will kill everyone including the boss

[prisma oar]

didn't think about nuking the boss tbh

I'm trying to kill the enemy first then the boss later

but got overwhelm by those guys running around the corner

[ocean ether]

Just smack the ball... dont think too much about it, the turret will clear everything https://youtu.be/qt64LNuAPyQ?si=iOKeisW4H5YqiCx9&t=183

[prisma oar]

ok... this singular guys pretty much can doom my run lmao

I'd give it a try I think

but I doubt it could work

[ocean ether]

S5 is a stage that punishes you for thinking too much

[prisma oar]

I don't have a lot of op/broken op...

I must think too much in order to clear it

[ocean ether]

show team

[prisma oar]

current one running

[ocean ether]

why are there two empty slots?

[prisma oar]

it's just place holder

it change over time

[ocean ether]

show the rest of team...

[dark glade]

you have ng/aonther aoe healer?

[tidal sedge]

Is Virtuosa s3 not available for flute waves? The atk debuff might help to soak them

[prisma oar]

she is placed in the black spot so can't really do much

[tidal sedge]

Hm.

[ocean ether]

use the turret to clear the flute waves instead, if you keep smacking it almost everything will die

[ocean ether]

exalter is very good for S5

either as laneholder or as ball smacker

[prisma oar]

ball smacker 😭

[ocean ether]

what else would you call it

[prisma oar]

[high kettle]

orb

[ocean ether]

I prefer ball smacker, sounds better

anyways, exalter can either go on mountain or thorns position in that video. If you need sustain just throw the ball down and get him to slap it

P.S typhon S3 1 cycles the P1 boss if it locks onto him and there are no enemies to eat her damage. I was just smacking the ball in that video to demonstrate "just smack the ball"

Though your typhon will not be able to because underleveled and no module, so just add some damage from the ball and you good

you will need someone to take top mobs, and I am not sure if hoshi can solo it

could always just use the turret to clear the mobs in P1 as well

[prisma oar]

https://upload3.inven.co.kr/upload/2023/10/28/bbs/i016369835327.gif

[vivid rain]

specter guard can clear top lane solo with skalter and medic so yeah just kill witch king

[void terrace]

I love virtuosa

24k pennace barrier achived

I don't even have pennace module yet

I need her mod

[ocean ether]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI2pijiB8IE
Here you go

it was very messy because i forgot cantabile S2 invisible dosent get baited

and exalter died when i wasnt paying attention the first time around

but anyways... clearable KEK

if you have someone better than gummy, slot that person in lol

gummy is a terrible idea, but just there to show you she is doable

siege should be fine in gummy pos but you will need to test it out yourself

[prisma oar]

ok

thanks

[vivid rain]

exalter can solo mid lane actually

[ocean ether]

yep he can

just too lazy to figure out timings for exalter

[vivid rain]

true

3 ops maleknight clear moment

[ocean ether]

that vid is pretty much "let me just apply brute force and turn off my brain"

[vivid rain]

(ofc just letting him slap ball to charge sp pretty much trivialize the need for timing but lol lmao)

[ocean ether]

taking typhon S2 instead of S3 is the icing on the cake

[vivid rain]

taking typhon at all is the icing on the cake

[shy viper]

i made it

also is the stage 10 boss from event

he teleports my operators randomly?

or there's a mechanic

[dapper hedge]

Last deployed operators

[shy viper]

how many?

and thank you

[dapper hedge]

2, also if youre putting mlynar he's gonna teleport'rd regardless of deploy order

Cause he has higher aggro from his talent

[ocean ether]

last 2,
p1 - 50% and phase change
P2 - 50% only

[shy viper]

ah I don't have him, and didn't know thanks

[ocean ether]

and yea, if you have mlynar he 100% teleports mlynar, and if you have ethan, he 100% DOSEN'T teleport ethan

dont forget stuff like cantabile and ines skills which makes them invis / camo and not targetable during that time

[shy viper]

yeah last two is enough information, thank you

[shy viper]

i see

[ocean ether]

theres also one more mechanic you need to know

[shy viper]

what is it

[ocean ether]

if your operator is marked and mark isn't destroyed, they 100% get teleported as well

for P2, his range becomes global and he only marks one

[shy viper]

alright thanks

mark is random?

[ocean ether]

last deployed or mlynar, but must be in attack range for P1

[shy viper]

I see thanks

[ocean ether]

attack range should be Lin S3, but dont quote me on that

[shy viper]

I will figure it out later

how hard is to beat ex 8

since i want the furniture stuff

[ocean ether]

this is the easiest anniv event we have in awhile

[shy viper]

wait this is an anni event

when we had anni

[ocean ether]

anniversary not annihilation

hence anniv

[shy viper]

i think i missed it

[shy viper]

I will quote you if i don't make it there, probably having skill issues too

[ocean ether]

the boss can bascially be cleared by just brute force smacking the ball for most parts, if you fail to make it there I will call it "Skill issue"

[shy viper]

okay good night i shall try it tomorrow

see you

[prisma oar]

o7

[ocean ether]

gj

[prisma oar]

First time full medal

[weak gazelle]

freaking moron
i hate this map
probably the worst i've face among any other event map💀

[glass monolith]

Hate won't last long. Because CC1 is soon

[ocean ether]

no reroll?

[fluid fulcrum]

i did a reroll

both got 1 somehow

[ocean ether]

luck issue

[fluid fulcrum]

my skill surpasses all luck problems

[tired river]

How do I complete ZT S 5 without the boss or center lane killing all my operators

[ocean ether]

send team

[fluid fulcrum]

and i have my backings

[ocean ether]

wtf is this

[fluid fulcrum]

both A15

[ocean ether]

cursed lol

[fluid fulcrum]

and this typhon is elite 1 lvl 1

[fluid fulcrum]

nah thats just me proving that arknights aint shit and im a god

[tired river]

+mlynar

[ocean ether]

I see that you enjoy being a masochist

[fluid fulcrum]

yep

very

[ocean ether]

I dont see whats the problem here lol, this is a very stacked team

[fluid fulcrum]

this team is more than enough

hm

Modu

[tired river]

then what should be placement order

[fluid fulcrum]

i suggest

you try this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMNQMyV6d_A

[tired river]

~~i suggest realised why is my yato module less i already have it~

[fluid fulcrum]

go tro the Zt S 5 afk thing

[tired river]

tried this for like 2 hours

[fluid fulcrum]

no im saying your name

[fluid fulcrum]

what went wrong

[ocean ether]

S5 is a stage that punishes you for thinking too hard about it... just

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt64LNuAPyQ

smack. the. damn. ball

[fluid fulcrum]

indeed it is

[tired river]

executor alter dies from the reflect guys

[fluid fulcrum]

what

no executors involved

just try it

the afk section

[tired river]

oh wait thats the afk one

[fluid fulcrum]

your team is neat enough to try to replicate and substitute what is needed

use yalter and texalter to clear out the junkies at the middle

[tired river]

do i need the nightingale masteries, i do have her

[fluid fulcrum]

bring a deffender if you need

[tired river]

just, not masteries

[fluid fulcrum]

prbly not

[tired river]

alr

[fluid fulcrum]

also

skalter is a needed

[tired river]

i have her lmao

[fluid fulcrum]

nice

[ocean ether]

eyjalter alone can heal all the damage LOL

[tired river]

again no masteries tho

[ocean ether]

she can be your only medic without any other healers or skalter

[fluid fulcrum]

she can indeed

my friend did the same thing

[tired river]

s1 or s3?

[ocean ether]

S1

[fluid fulcrum]

the only tricky thing here is

[ocean ether]

who even uses s3...

[fluid fulcrum]

just timing the music

[ocean ether]

If I need to press buttons on eyjalter, I will just bring another medic

[fluid fulcrum]

those stun guys are super annoying if done wrong

imma go

bye

[steep coral]

Help

I need help about witch king zt s3

How he can make me fail ?? In teleport??? Instant

[somber stone]

He instakills you after some time

[glass monolith]

6 minutes since his ass on map, timer reset on phase change

[foggy grove]

2.5 min if you are playing 2x speed

5 min on 1x

[glass monolith]

oh right 300 seconds is 5 minutes

I can math

[ornate loom]

how do i farm this?

[ocean ether]

the event currently has it at stage 9, other wise go to #bot-spam and type /material. Also I think you will be better off asking non strategy related questions in #help instead

note that you can skip the story to chapter 9 if you are looking for the better material maps

[ornate loom]

i cannot get to stage 9 lmao at all

[ocean ether]

pretty sure the blue brackets say stage 4-4 is farmable in bot spam

[ornate loom]

Rare, dropped once in 10 runs

[ocean ether]

do you have a choice?

[ornate loom]

dont have sanity lol

[ocean ether]

alternatively, you can buy them from green cert shop

but theres limited stock of that

[ornate loom]

literally green cert doesnt have it, you need to buy everything in order to get to the second stage

[ocean ether]

if you are at the point you cant even get to 2nd stage of green cert yet, you should just put E2 on a backburner and get a core team to E1 first

I didnt even have a single E2 until much later, you can just follow low rarity guides for now

[vocal leaf]

the event has a really high rate, try to get there borrowing someone, do you have another e2?

[ocean ether]

he is trying to rush his first E2, but dosent get that he is a brand new player only a few days old and is dreaming too big atm

[vocal leaf]

he should farm event and buy materials from event shop

[ornate loom]

i am not acting upon my accord, ive been given advice to do this 💀

[ocean ether]

#help message
this is his team atm lol

[ocean ether]

I will give you another advice then... get your core ops to E1, follow low rarity guides and try to E2 when you can after that. If you cant even reach the 2nd stage of green certs, you arent anywhere ready for E2 rushing unless you whale

[ornate loom]

the low rarity guides use different ops than i do

[ocean ether]

then sub in your ops on their positions

you arent supposed to follow them to the exact detail lol, you are supposed to use them as a guideline

like if guide uses kroos, you can sub in archetto, or if guide uses fang, you can sub in flame

just use it as a point of reference not a carbon copy

[vocal leaf]

farm the early stages, event shop has gels and manganese, thats e2 cutter

[ornate loom]

you know how much time theres till the end of the event.. right?

[vocal leaf]

[ocean ether]

2 days, should be enough time if you factor in level ups because new player

[ornate loom]

*1 day

[ocean ether]

theres like... 43 hours more. You are really not helping yourself

[ornate loom]

do higher stages give more currency

[ocean ether]

anyways, we given you the advice we can. You can either
a) continue banging your head against the wall, because eventually it will work
b) take the advice and farm event
c) take the advice and focus on e1 team instead

[ornate loom]

ill just e2 cutter

[ocean ether]

in the absolute worst case scenario where you dont have enough sanity to get mats for E2 cutter, just OP reset sanity once or twice.

1 or 2 OP isnt going to be much of a difference in the grand scheme of things

[ornate loom]

@ocean ether ?

[ocean ether]

? you mean LMD?

[ornate loom]

the event has its own currency, does clearing higher stages give more of that currency?

[ocean ether]

yes

but go for the stage where you will need the material instead

because the worth is the same

its based on sanity spent

[ornate loom]

i'm only on ZT-2

[ocean ether]

and its equal across all

[ornate loom]

so i literally cannot farm any mats directly through the stages

[ocean ether]

theres always the yolo "borrow mountain" or "borrow typhon" who works at E1

and you can reach the higher stages... somewhat

[ornate loom]

how does no one on my friend list not have mountain ohmygod

[ocean ether]

go look for it in #friend-id lol

or ask about it in help maybe

you have a better bet getting typhon

[ornate loom]

ill just do typho

[ocean ether]

typhon E1 S2 will pretty much carry since she does plenty of DPS, mountain E1 S2 is more to lanehold a single lane

[ornate loom]

idk the event is cringe cant really abuse typho that hard

[ocean ether]

no its not lol, just know where to place typhon to cover lanes

like, every stage bascially has no issues deploying typhon with defenders blocking the part where she cant target, not sure what you mean by cant abuse typhon

[ornate loom]

oki i got a hang of the strat

typho goes hard actually

is she a limited?

[ocean ether]

no

[ornate loom]

imma pull for degen i heard shes really good

[ocean ether]

well yea... she was a must pull until walter happened lol

[ornate loom]

oh is she being rerun rn?

[ocean ether]

?

degen isnt even out on EN yet, wdym

[ornate loom]

it sounded like she is in the game thats whta i meant

[ocean ether]

we based it on CN schedule which is 6 months ahead so we know what to pull

https://gamepress.gg/arknights/database/banner-list-gacha

[ornate loom]

do cn guys get stuff quicker

[ocean ether]

refer to this if you need

[ocean ether]

yes, like I said, they are 6 months ahead of us

[ornate loom]

wtf why

[ocean ether]

its actually better since we can plan our pulls

[ocean ether]

and wdym wtf why? This is a game made in CN

[ornate loom]

i see

[ocean ether]

it released first in CN

just be glad we even have a 6 month buffer to know who to pull LOL

[ornate loom]

im very glad

err how do i to ZT-4

[ocean ether]

theres the super stacked JO15 banner if you are still playing by then which has typhon, reedic, quibai, kal

But thats after Walter so....

[ornate loom]

i used to play arknights long time ago but ive forgotten most of the stuff and i wanted to start oevr

[ocean ether]

anyways, degen is good but walter is not worth missing for anyone

just putting this out there

[ornate loom]

yeah ZT-3 the furthest ive gotten, zt4 is way too hard

[ocean ether]

because most of your team are E0

[ornate loom]

unfortunately

[ocean ether]

I am not sure how far typhon E1 borrow can carry you, but should be quite far

[ornate loom]

whats harder to farm manganese or gel

@ocean ether 🙏

[ocean ether]

about the same, but degen event has manganese

[ornate loom]

it has gel too

[ocean ether]

no it dosent?

[ornate loom]

okay

[ocean ether]

gel isnt until ray's mini event

oh you are talking about the CURRENT event shop...

just get both - . -

[ornate loom]

i did get all the manganese and need to get more cash for gel

[ocean ether]

go to #bot-spam and do /eventfarm if you need

anyways I am going off

sorry, I meant /eventshop

[ornate loom]

damn i would have missed lessing if i didnt do the event lmao

[ocean ether]

lessing is the 2nd worst 6 star

[ornate loom]

💀

[ocean ether]

so you wouldnt be missing much

the next event rerun in a few days has the worst 6 star

[ornate loom]

that is?

[ocean ether]

so you equally wouldn't be missing much

vigil

[ornate loom]

maad

arent tacticians generally just poopoo

[ocean ether]

have you ever seen a 6 star rank lower than a 4? Thats vigil LOL

[ornate loom]

💀

[halcyon adder]

Nah vigil better than bk beanstalk

[sharp vine]

which Operator are must have in P&CS ISN?

[vocal leaf]

what is even that?

[fierce ibex]

Is2

[sharp vine]

phantom's ISN?

[smoky halo]

if u have mlynar ines yato ponze ur basically set

[sharp vine]

someone got hacked

@cedar vale halp

⬆️

@cedar vale just to be sure I pinged the right mod

[smoky halo]

<@&586570970345635868>

[sharp vine]

no ponze

[smoky halo]

she can open

[sharp vine]

oh rigt support

[smoky halo]

schwarz also works if u have her

need mod btw

since boss has dodge

[sharp vine]

this works for every boss?

[smoky halo]

ed1 boss has dodge and afks long enough on a poze/swatz tile

[sharp vine]

oke oke

[glass monolith]

Sad fartooth sounds

[turbid badge]

ponze good?

for is5

[latent anvil]

252

[tidal sedge]

Any tips before trying annihilation 6?

Which one is that again

[opal kiln]

anni6 is ufo and civs I think?

[tidal sedge]

Oh

Strong arts/phys that can hit air to deal with Targeteers. Either bind or strong assassination to keep lancers off of civs they chase. Texas Alter borrow kinda fits both bills.

[radiant dune]

yato s3 kills the ufo's faster from what I've experienced myself, plus better dp return for anni

[tidal sedge]

Once again my unfamiliarity with Yato bites me

[radiant dune]

ngl this could also be a me not fully building texalter issue, my texalter like 2-3 cycles a ufo with s3, yato does it in 2 iirc without needing to wait for passive duration like texas, both still get the job done tho

[tidal sedge]

Alright thanks

Is there anyone that has a thorns on support list so i can try to beat It?

I don't have him raised. #friend-id might be a better bet. Or maybe look through random supports and try to friend someone with Thorns through that.

Though he isn't popular lately. Might take a bit to find.

[pale orchid]

@cunning river just did ex 3 cm too

[tidal sedge]

I love hidden boss abilities

In case anyone is confused: Witch King provides 20% phys and arts damage reduction to all enemies except himself. Which is why Saria s3 boosted Gamiya in left mp4 fails to produce red number when dealing damage.

[wide sail]

huh

[tidal sedge]

In-game afaik doesn't mention the damage reduction

[wide sail]

this guy has too many abilities gonna be real

s 5 word vomit

[vivid rain]

too bad balls gaming obliterate his ass

[wide sail]

true

real boss of s5 is one punch man sad guy

[glass monolith]

Rework enemy info to be readable.
Proceed to not write enemy info

[pale orchid]

En can’t read it anyways

It’s fine

[scarlet mortar]

4 years in, that joke really needs to die by now

if the enemy data was more reliable people'd check it more often

[turbid badge]

s3 too annoying

i rarity abuse

[tidal sedge]

Witch King is just an annoying boss

Not just one, but two global range harassment skills

[turbid badge]

Ng counters hard

mirage spam all p2

only healing i need

the ads are also really tanky

[tidal sedge]

That's what I did too. 2 cages to soak his attacks and 2 dps pointed at him to off him asap

[turbid badge]

oh u used dps?

i just use marksmen

and orbies

[tidal sedge]

Timing Exu was a bit annoying, and Archetto didn't quite give me the results I wanted.

[turbid badge]

krooster superior

[cyan gorge]

I just used Greythroat

[turbid badge]

i used both exu and kroos

[tidal sedge]

So I just went with Typhon s3 + Ntrk for S-3. Typhon s3 and Provence for S-5

[turbid badge]

ah

[latent monolith]

There are two? Honestly I didn't notice

The boss esp P2 was not the most of my worries

mlynar just tanked everything

[tidal sedge]

Phase 2 the Sealing attack has global range

Which annoyed me as that got in the way of using Lee s3 to clown on middle mobs in phase 2 in S-5. Along with the teleport.

[latent monolith]

I just speedran exu + exalt the orb

Boss died very early

And orb also means exalt got to heal

[tidal sedge]

Reapers eat good with mechanics that give them something to whack

[turbid badge]

Yup

which 5* defender should i raise

is cross rng good to deal with?

[cyan gorge]

Why do you need to raise another defender
for collection?

[tidal sedge]

As long as she's not like 2hko'd I don't have a problem with her dodge. In my experience at least.

[turbid badge]

IS

or i save mats for canta

canta e2

[cyan gorge]

Spot, Saria and Jess are pretty much your entire IS defender lineup

save for Canta

[tidal sedge]

Protector base bulk makes her dodge aspect feel a lot easier to tolerate in comparison to dodge on guards imo. Even if her defense on-skill looks unimpressive compared to other protectors

Arkhy and Igneus can be good 2nd and 3rd opinions if you're inclined.

[turbid badge]

alright

i'll probably get canta even though most just save for ines

[lilac grail]

where do i go to beg for people to add me

for support

[turbid badge]

it seems like a nice option for all IS

[tidal sedge]

#friend-id should be the place

[smoky halo]

its not even released yet wtf

[turbid badge]

i thought p& cs was is5 until i saw Phantom crimson solitare

[hollow epoch]

If i wanted to build a cheap hope cost summoner for is, should i be looking to deepcolour or scene?

Both seem to be generally lukewarm recommended but there isnt exactly any other low rarity summoner options other than like orchid, i suppose?

[elder flume]

Would rather Scene if not S1 DC player

[scarlet mortar]

mmmm i'd say don't bother tbh

deepcolor's tentacles don't do that well on either IS3 or IS4 high diff

[cyan gorge]

Deepcolor is not bad in IS, Scene does a similar job but slightly more expensive

[scarlet mortar]

and low diff i think you can just skip them entirely

the main thing is the hope cost for me, i'd rather just skip supporters in IS4 entirely than cope

scene is better if you had to pick one yh

[cyan gorge]

I like Roberta and Podenco more than Deepcolor for IS4 specifically

[scarlet mortar]

melee mobs hit just a bit too hard in IS4

IS3 there's broodmothers and stuff

if it's between supporters i'd probs go for a hexer instead

[cyan gorge]

If no hope for Virtuosa or Suzu, I just default to Quercus

[hollow epoch]

Roberta is interesting

So is quercus

Could you explain the reasoning on those 2?

I do agree that summoners that are not called ling seems very cope but i also kinda want to make low hope supporters not a dead slot

[cyan gorge]

Quercus is for medicless runs, Roberta for def and being an extra blocker

[scarlet mortar]

querc is a pretty good pseudo-medic

she also combos with a couple supp relics iirc, though that's hard to rely on

roberta is ehhhh

ig she's a good blocker pick for IS4 and early IS3

...if you ignore her hope cost anw

[cyan gorge]

She's not the tankiest 2 block but her devices are sometimes the difference between an op living or dying

also 3 block on skill is useful

and she doesn't really need masteries and is fine with mod 1 just to get extra devices

[hollow epoch]

How about quercus? Just s1mod1?

[cyan gorge]

s1m3 and mod 1 should be fine, though I would still consider mod 3 for the lower threshold on her sanctuary

[hollow epoch]

Hm

Ive also considered building kazemaru to get more than just utility out of my specialist recruits, how does her performance look in is?

[cyan gorge]

good source of damage but don't expect her to tank much at higher difficulty

[hollow epoch]

Got it

Damm, i really wish i had a better defender for is

[cyan gorge]

Spot covers most of your bases

[hollow epoch]

Doesnt he also kinda die if hes really pushed

[dapper hedge]

Cuora & bubble can work just fine too

[scarlet mortar]

spot's fine for f1-2 IS4

to some extent f3 too with average relic luck

IS4 doesn't murder you with floor scaling early on thankfully

[cyan gorge]

Spot > Saria=Jessica > the rest
my general priority for defender recruits in IS4

[scarlet mortar]

saria ehhhhh

jess2 >>>

[cyan gorge]

Saria s3 has surpringly helped me more than Jess once I passed BN12

without relic luck at least

[hollow epoch]

I dont have either saria or jess unfortunately, ive been coping with cuora a lot

It works to an extent, but there are limits

[scarlet mortar]

imo cuora's good enough if you can nab your dps by f4

or ig late f3

the general winning strat is to secure your several best dps ops by f3, with the couple other ops along the way helping you survive

works out like that bc IS's are built around scaling

[smoky halo]

huh

i play d15 and cuora works fine

is urs modded?

[scarlet mortar]

cuora's probs the most hope-efficient brick tbh

she scales well into f4 at E2

[smoky halo]

i dont think u wanna spend 10 hope on a brick anyway

unless ed2

[scarlet mortar]

well with more hope yh i can get the same stats she has with dps too

[smoky halo]

ye

[hollow epoch]

Possible skill issue

[smoky halo]

r u letting her tank instinct contmination

or smthing

cause she melts there

[sterile drum]

can i use aak s3 (on thorns) instead of exu ( i dont have her nor any build sniper other than rosa)

to hit ball

[surreal star]

if it works, it works

he doesn’t scale nearly as well as exu does though, you might be better off bringing a second dps instead

[sterile drum]

im following a strat and i either borrow a blaze or exu then, which would be the better choice. the only other aoe guard i have built is popukar so...

[verbal canopy]

Thinking about replacing Fang with Plume or Mousse, suggestions?

[deep frigate]

not the same role

[surreal star]

pram should definitely be the first to go if you want a replacement
probably add in mousse

[surreal star]

can you send the guide?

[verbal canopy]

Pram -> Mousse then?

[surreal star]

yeah

also do you have a 6* yet?

[sterile drum]

its kyo one https://youtu.be/WMNQMyV6d_A?si=RGOdDUtJvv_VfSbr

for s3

[verbal canopy]

Mountain

[surreal star]

slot him in somewhere, i'd swap out melantha
also use kroos instead of jessica if you have her

[surreal star]

try just bringing your best laner to sub for blaze, no need to use a centurion

[sterile drum]

okay

[verbal canopy]

Aight here's the updated lineup

[surreal star]

looks solid for now

i would recommend trying to unlock the event asap so you can get the guard chips from the shop to promote mountain

it closes on tuesday reset

[deep frigate]

im not a fan of meteorite for new players but looks great

[verbal canopy]

Shirayuki fills the same role; would she be better?

[deep frigate]

imo yes

[sullen rover]

shirayuki should be a better build
shes cheaper and has a strong base skill

[deep frigate]

you also don't NEED to fill that role, but shira is a better choice for it

[sullen rover]

i would advice you to kick some of these guys out like doberman or mouse for more aoe damage

[turbid badge]

bubble better

i absolutely hate hbow bubbler has no inital sp

[smoky halo]

rly?

i know bubble better for ed2

but for the regular stages cuora should be better no?

[tidal sedge]

No initial sp is a harsh downside. It's one of my biggest complaints with Carne.

[turbid badge]

yea

[turbid badge]

carne s2 no inital sp?

~~ haven't m3s stuck at m2 ~~

i prefer s2 cycle tbh'

[tidal sedge]

S2 takes 30 seconds to fire overcharge from deploy

[turbid badge]

s3 damage is alright i guess, i would rather use lin if i had herr

[tidal sedge]

Well, assuming no module. I forgot how much module buffs sp talent

[turbid badge]

oh we don't talk about the module

its barely anything

[tidal sedge]

I'd rather her 2nd module gave initial sp like Archetto module over the extra overcharge rate

[turbid badge]

bubble:

[tidal sedge]

Cuora s2 also has 0 initial sp. Though it's 40 sp cost

[turbid badge]

sp cost is 45 at m3

[tidal sedge]

4*s get saddled with 0 initial sp sometimes

Poor Frostleaf s2

[turbid badge]

feels bad

[shy viper]

need help with ex 3 event

[pale orchid]

whats ur full roster

[surreal star]

are your roster levels just balanced like that

[pale orchid]

yeah thast kinda...

dont go and 90 ur ops until you have everyone basically raised lol

[shy viper]

that's when I was doing the stuffs wrong

okay here is my roster

[tidal sedge]

Level maxxing

[shy viper]

because I'm poor now

[tidal sedge]

It's worth noting that leveling up costs inflates massively at high e2

[shy viper]

[tidal sedge]

Most folks keep their e2 ops at 50-60 except for pampered favorites

[shy viper]

I've been told yesterday,, save your words and thank you not trying to be rude and not tryna be stuck in leveling lessons again

[tidal sedge]

Ah, sorry. I wasn't aware.

[pale orchid]

anyway im trying to think who is best borrow

[shy viper]

no problem, you good

[pale orchid]

my brain is defaulting to like texas or yato alter here

[shy viper]

my brain exploded in that stage

I didn't know what I was seeing

[somber stone]

What’s ex3 again

[shy viper]

mass drums enemies around from the half to right side of the map

[tidal sedge]

Poz with Aspect pew pews should be able to snipe right side drummers

[shy viper]

since I couldn't even do anything I don't know what's next

[tidal sedge]

I think it's just a matter of controlling devices and holding left side

[somber stone]

And typewriter

[tidal sedge]

Exactly

[somber stone]

Honestly I think dp might be the issue

Actually no canta

[shy viper]

I have canta

and myrtle but she level 1

[tidal sedge]

Myrtle works as long as she doesn't fight

[somber stone]

Sl4

[tidal sedge]

You've Bagpipe and Canta to keep her safe anyhow

Oh. E0

[shy viper]

yeah e0

[tidal sedge]

You could borrow Thorns or Qiubai to help hold left and snipe bot right device

Or if you've Canta s2m3, she can immediately camo to snipe it due to Bagpipe

[shy viper]

I see

module 3

or mastery 3

[pale orchid]

Texas borrow should work

[shy viper]

i forgot, just got back to the game

[limpid siren]

Mastery

[pale orchid]

Squad

question is his masteries yeah

[pale orchid]

is ur ops at sl7

honestly the pozy is the important one

[shy viper]

onlu pozemka, pozemka, and the croc woman

surtr*

[pale orchid]

m3 or sl7

hmm

[shy viper]

sl7

[pale orchid]

although s2 gav behind spot can put in work

but yeah i was relying on pozy to carry

is it possible to get myrtle to sl7

[shy viper]

okay i will try this

[shy viper]

[pale orchid]

well it used m3 pozy though

if i had more practice plans

id try yato alter borrow

or gg borrow even haha

[shy viper]

I will try, i will let you know how it goes

thank you guys for the help

[pale orchid]

best of luck, i hope it goes well

[shy viper]

but how did the

[tidal sedge]

Oh this is cm? I forgot about the shields on the devices in cm

[shy viper]

instrument to the right got filled

[pale orchid]

you know the 5 dp thing

so you see if you attack that

[shy viper]

oh yeah the bass

[pale orchid]

ye

but be careful

[shy viper]

nice okay cool

[pale orchid]

only attack that

if there isnt enemies left side charging

cuz it will taunt pozy

and that can fuck shit up

[shy viper]

will do

be back

[pale orchid]

k best of luck

[shy viper]

my skill

[pale orchid]

nah i just have pretty raised ops lol

[plucky roost]

HALP!

[pale orchid]

damn that boss is brutal

[tidal sedge]

What's getting you?

[plucky roost]

The twins of course...

[somber stone]

What twins

[pale orchid]

mind posting ur roster

[pale orchid]

boss splits up into a bunch of clones

im assuming thats the "twins"

[summer copper]

What's wrong

[somber stone]

Triplets here tho

[plucky roost]

They deleted my squad after the fist phase ded

[pale orchid]

yeah you need strong medic here

this boss is a battle of attrition

[tidal sedge]

It's probably the drone attack then

[plucky roost]

I have like 4 medics still ded

I need to clear this to unlock 13-5 for the new mat

[tidal sedge]

Avoid clustering your ops if possible. Overlapping AoEs can be deadly

[somber stone]

What medics

[tidal sedge]

If you've the means, can you buy the ch 13 mats in green cert shop?

[ocean ether]

If you can, just borrow eyjalter and she can do most of the medic duty

[shy viper]

[pale orchid]

well done

[shy viper]

I made it

thanks

now I'm trying the next

[pale orchid]

glad i was of assistance

[plucky roost]

I use those

[ocean ether]

Why are you still having issues?

[shy viper]

@ocean ether I'm quoting you

[tidal sedge]

Nightingale and Eyjaberry should make for easy soaking. Hmm. I'm guessing AoEs are overlapping for ohkos

[ocean ether]

I am pretty sure eyjalter alone can handle the boss stage because thats what I did and my eyjalter is only 60

[plucky roost]

I need this one not in shop

[somber stone]

Can’t you do it on story mode

[tulip harbor]

How do u guys use ur sanity?

[somber stone]

Event

[plucky roost]

I do on story mode

[ocean ether]

event stages if they up, otherwise 1-7 or red certs

[ocean ether]

this sounds like a very bad skill issue... are you watching vids?

[shy viper]

what are red certs

and how do you farm it

[timid nacelle]

ap-5 material

[drowsy jewel]

right now, you should be using all of them for the event stages

[timid nacelle]

purchase certificate was the other name iirc

[drowsy jewel]

Then like go books and red certs if no event for me

[ocean ether]

you need it for module blocks

[tulip harbor]

Alrite. Kinda silly that all the energy restore item will expire at the same time

[timid nacelle]

I mean

U had so much time

to use all of em

[drowsy jewel]

True

[tulip harbor]

T.T what material most often u guys missing

[timid nacelle]

rma and device probably

[ocean ether]

device gets smacked top of my list

[plucky roost]

Umm not sure this is the story mode right?
And yes I watched the guide but it wasnt working

[timid nacelle]

the guide is on a harder mode

how did it not work

[ocean ether]

show your other ops

[somber stone]

Probably killed too quickly

[timid nacelle]

oh ye that's a thing

[drowsy jewel]

I got 0 device before this event so that

[tulip harbor]

You can do it 👍

[ocean ether]

Because needing 5x meta healers is bonkers. Especially since eyjalter is one of them

[tidal sedge]

I would think doubled stats and halved redeploy would more than compensate

[drowsy jewel]

You just need 1 healer there not 5

Maybe 2 if you're struggling

[ocean ether]

Maybe he is trying to play stall knights and the ash enemies just pierce straight through after awhile

[timid nacelle]

maybe be a bit braver in the placements

[shy viper]

oh those stages with red certs right, thanks

[ocean ether]

I dont know what he is failing at so I cant comment

[timid nacelle]

I see problem with heavy loaded roster players

they play too safe

[tulip harbor]

What's your squad. So the pros can have a look. Show them your team squad that u use

[pale orchid]

wdym heavy loaded light

[timid nacelle]

those r the just the medics nat

[tulip harbor]

Eh

How are you having trouble?

[ocean ether]

100% skill issue

[pale orchid]

uhhhhh

[tulip harbor]

This is like end game mega account

[plucky roost]

Not mine

[pale orchid]

only missing thing is the frds lol

[ocean ether]

they might be there... on the right side...

[pale orchid]

oh lord

[drowsy jewel]

even adverse you can deal with 12-20

[tulip harbor]

What you mean.

[timid nacelle]

[somber stone]

H12-4 sweep

[drowsy jewel]

why would you show roster that isn't yours

[plucky roost]

Inherit from my friend

[tulip harbor]

I can only dream of having Exu full pot

[timid nacelle]

trust me u get bored of it once u have it

[drowsy jewel]

So this is the one you're using to clear?

[somber stone]

So you don’t know how to play?

[timid nacelle]

then she starts to dupe and u begin to hate p6

[plucky roost]

I know I played the game for a year after launch then took a break and just comeback with this account recently

[tulip harbor]

I can't help you there mate. Your units is like x8 better than mine.

[timid nacelle]

ok then u still played the game for a long time

don't u use skills in the right time or am I missing something

[pale orchid]

mind scrolling right

[tulip harbor]

Did u just recently got it? U got executor alt at high pot

[ocean ether]

I honestly dont know what your issue with the stage is, who are you bringing? Because if you are slotting 5 medics, something is going wrong with your DPS units

[tulip harbor]

I dunno how to go wrong bro. Just put your guards down and a healer then afk

U got everyone

At lvl90

[timid nacelle]

like the only way we can help u now is for u to show us a vid of the way u play so we can identify the problem

[tidal sedge]

Not a problem due to Kernal jail anymore at least.

[plucky roost]

Maybe I ise the wrong guide can you can give me the one that working?

[ocean ether]

I dont think its a guide problem in this case... but sure

[tulip harbor]

Which stage? Go search for high end afk . U are set. To not play the game

[timid nacelle]

I had to get her p10 before kernel jail appears

[tidal sedge]

That's actually rough

[timid nacelle]

every sniper+ top op hopin for Schwartz

once I got Schwartz pozy arrived 💀

[tidal sedge]

Lose every coin flip

[shy viper]

guys I have a question for the event, will a ranged op hit the other instruments that aren't charged or it only hits the one closing to him

in front

[timid nacelle]

me e0 schwartz with a skin looks so sad now

[tulip harbor]

Can we post link?

https://youtu.be/a-uAlsOyHU0?si=oK5BWNNAoYTNTsdV

[timid nacelle]

it will hit the instruments

provided no enemies in sight

[shy viper]

okay thanks

[timid nacelle]

iirc

[tulip harbor]

@plucky roost if u are interested, just slowly learn mechanics. Else you will just be playing watch guides. Worst since u have all the units suddenly with no skill.

[tidal sedge]

They'll attack devices if they're in range and not fully charged. But devices have negative taunt, so ops will favor shooting enemies over shooting devices unless they have some kind of special targeting.

[tulip harbor]

Good luck mate. I'm jealous of you of having a great friend

[tidal sedge]

Deadeyes will prioritize devices due to the devices having 0 def. But long atk interval makes for slow charging.

[plucky roost]

I know the basic its just the new units mechanic are often complicated
And this guide is new to me Ill try this real quick

[timid nacelle]

kyo has an easy afk guide iirc

[tulip harbor]

Ever since i got texas alt last week. I feel like i become dumb. I just use texas everywhere

[timid nacelle]

I check those from time to time when I don't wanna bother with stages or when I am low on tume

[tulip harbor]

I can't imagine how this guy must feel like

[timid nacelle]

havin a delete button that kills everything on low cd and not usin it is the dumb thing

usin better tools doesn't make you dumb it just makes u efficient

tho at some point you should get to the habit of low opin stages since u r usin stronger tools which will keep your "skills" in check

[pale orchid]

So me getting Texas alt didn’t make me dumb

I just was always dumb

[timid nacelle]

exactly

[pale orchid]

[timid nacelle]

[tulip harbor]

How do i get a blue name btw

[timid nacelle]

it's from the roles thing

on top of the server channel list

[tulip harbor]

2021

Yes sir...

[timid nacelle]

huh

[tulip harbor]

Test test

[timid nacelle]

[tulip harbor]

I quit playing awhile back. Got back during mumu

It's been fun.

[ocean ether]

why not just go in with full meta roster and then press as little buttons as possible

[tulip harbor]

I mean... if i wanna do big brain stuff. .. why pull for gacha at this point.

[timid nacelle]

it will start to feel boring is why .
if you are someone who enjoys the game and isn't here for the gacha of it , it will burn you out and probably go on several breaks because of it.
like I did

[tulip harbor]

Same

Chen alter

[timid nacelle]

low rarity units r rather limited tools is why

[tidal sedge]

6*s get the complicated kits as well as the power

[tulip harbor]

U guys play the IS mode? I couldn't get into that. As my low rarity are not lvled

[timid nacelle]

3/4* units r decent but u know not "flashy" enough

[tidal sedge]

It's why I'm not 5 star only. There's neat designs that they'll only do on 6 stars.

[timid nacelle]

IS isn't just for low rarity tho

[tulip harbor]

I think just whoever u like. There's too many operators. I can't keep up.

[timid nacelle]

you can use a lot of 5/6* units

[elder flume]

Im guessing Weedy double hit no longer works on CN?

[timid nacelle]

I honestly got no clue

[tidal sedge]

I'm not up to date on shifting techs

[plucky roost]

Thanks man not 3 stars but a clear is a clear
I knew it it was the guide problem

[tidal sedge]

I heard puller retreat tech got nuked recently. Is that why you're asking?

[elder flume]

Uhuh

Its just brain dead strat now

Half the autos will fail

[tidal sedge]

[glass monolith]

YO I can shoperator in next Kernel cooking

[timid nacelle]

don't u already have pozy

[glass monolith]

But i don't have Schwartz

Need more operators to have more options to use Kroos alter still

[foggy grove]

scwarz hand buff kroos

[ornate loom]

what reinforecement can help me cheese 3-8?

[glass monolith]

Don't block boss early (that shit has 4x damage in melee, lmao). Fight dogs in front of blue box. Bait boss ranged attack away with something or have enough medics to wistand. By time boss loop around map you will have enough DP to deploy whatever you like to beat 'him' up

[ornate loom]

i literally cant beat him up tho

[glass monolith]

No way, boss defensive stats are non existant. Kroos will kill if given time

[ornate loom]

oh my god jessica the liberated is a carry wtf

FUCK

[timid nacelle]

[spice mortar]

Any advice on zt s 3 cm

[peak cloak]

use stage mechanic ofc

[spice mortar]

My units

[spice mortar]

Do you know a good unit to borrow?

[peak cloak]

i clearly dont know :D, u try to figure out yourself.

[glass monolith]

Boss is shit, event is shit, device drop chance is nice.

[spice mortar]

I have been ;-;

[peak cloak]

all i can tell u is to use the mechanic

just in case, u leave the s stages and wait until a year later, i'm sure u have much better ops and game knowledges.

[spice mortar]

I despise the reflect guys

[vocal leaf]

borrow exalt

you surely don’t need that texas

[foggy grove]

mlynr can kill thru the shield

[rapid hazel]

Hi I'm new to Arknights! Can someone help to recommend me a squad? These are the operators that I currently have.

[peak cloak]

/teambuilding in #bot-spam

[spice mortar]

Did it

[summer copper]

nice

[vivid python]

Rosmontis yeah

[spice mortar]

Rosmontis and viv carry

[tall widget]

Help...

[rocky anvil]

I put Mlynar + a healer on the left tile near the exit tile on the middle for this stage

[tall widget]

where is that exactly

[rocky anvil]

you see that tile with the red-ish orange arrows going up and down on the middle?

the stair tile

[tall widget]

OH

[rocky anvil]

put Mlynar on the left tile next to it

facing right

and a healer

[dapper hedge]

Nuke top with horn

[stable igloo]

Hi guys,when you decide on your optimisation order when you started the game what was your prefered order to promote ? dps(melee or range) tank and then healers?

[ocean ether]

eh... we all had different preferences and it was mainly what 6 star you pulled as a newbie

Someone who pulled mountain as first 6 star will have different priorities from say someone who pulled typhon or reedic as newbie lol... or mlynar and texalter

[stable igloo]

as 6 i got ines, vivianna virtuosa

[ocean ether]

piro ines

[stable igloo]

she's done already

my concern is more toward my 4-5*

[ocean ether]

vivi can be shafted
