For real there's no much I can think by using ur squad 
This stage isn't like puzzle or something but dps check.
Dunno how youtuber pulled it by using their big brain though
2 dead weeks during which i need to build Virtuosa, Aak, Schwarz 
Even stalling with ethan is risky cos damn hitman
Alr but if I borrow an op how would i clear it?
ifrit pointing middle lane or typhon, but ifrit is better choice here because way too many for typhon to handle alone
mlynar dies to the invis hitman, believe me I tried LOL
Do you have an ifrit I can borrow then?

the invis hitman are the fking problem here
sadly mine isnt built well
only m1
better off looking in friend-id
I dont think he has enough medics for that LOL
but yes surtr hospital will work
the usual "everyone is coming down this one lane? KEK"
Mention me when you need friend confirmation . Htg
Bruh why is IS-9 so much easier than IS-8?? I literally had to borrow ifrit for is8 but first tried is9 without any trouble at all
This game is truly so balanced
Now fight zaaro 
Sure. Not enough sanity atm though. (Both irl and in-game)
Enjoy ex stages tomorrow 
but zaaro is a joke with typhon too bad he dosent have typhon 
I also dont have typhoon 
I use schwarz to kill the boss
I don't have schwarz either unfortunately.
but schwarz cant AFK 
If IS-9 says anything abt IS-10 then prob.
Those hitman is much scarier kek
dont worry too much about it, 8 was the hardest stage because they all rush you at once
like the rush is fked up enough to kill mlynar lol
Even cuora can tank the boss
Alr just tried IS-10.
Seems pretty easy, the bosses AoE is kinda crazy though.
Literally just sentences 3 ops to death
Can't even undeploy
Does anyone have any tips for this stage?
but you said seems pretty easy
Yeah but idk how to deal with this
All I can think of off the top of my head is deploy gravel/jaye and tank the death sentence ig
kill his phase 1
Careful with deployment order.
Boss target last op deployed
Yeah I realised
he should prio the civi first before your ops
phase 2 doesn't have that ability
you can kinda cheese it with beanstalk if you are stalling too long
Nanocrab 
Mumu 
I run out of ops before the boss dies is the main problem. The cleaner also spawns and destroys the perma stall
Zaaro sentence mumu clone to death
I don't have mumu tho
what are you using even
Try borrow typhoon.
This
What's the point though? I won't be able to auto the stage if I do that
Here's my rooster if it helps ig
The event boss?
this probably works but it's kinda hard to keep tequila alive
they only deal ~50% of the bosses hp which is good ig but they die before their next skill comes up
why
just don't let him eat debuff
also did you wait for his full stack?
liberator need 40s for their trait stack
wait for cuora cd and pray
Im not sure if e1 60 cuora can tank him
s3? isn't s2 just better?
S3 is better burst skill of mountain
You really dont have problems lane holding in there with anything else, might as well use his s3 to boss kill
mountain insta-dies to the boss though (same with literally every op lmao)
cleaners don't really help either
Yeah gotta use cuora to soak and dps as fast as you can
Phase 2 boss atk+50% and hit twice if i remember
According to gamepress
His atk stat is 800 atk
lmao
So +50%
It become 1200
my cuora has 2173 hp, 578 def atm so idk if they can even survive that
basically a two shot
1200-578 twice
my medics (silence, ansel) have ~900 atk total too so i can't even out-heal the dps to perma stall smh
do i just slap on another medic or smth?
3 medics if you have to
Yeah. Maybe you need another medic
you can do it,just rotate cuora skill with medic
mountain s3 dps is also pretty good
yeah but it knocks enemies into the blue box lmao
i actually just dont have the dps for this somehow
even with tequila + mountain s3 my ops die before we can burst it down
i messed around with the deployment order but it doesn't seem to make a difference
idk what to do honestly
i spawnkllled him with teq and mountain
how
i just let them spawn camp the red box where he comes from
tho my teq is e2 so idk how big is the difference 
well i mean my mountain and tequila combo only does slightly less than half of it's health in one burst so 🤷
my mountain is e2lv30 and tequila is e1lv65 if that helps somehow
you are using teq s2?
yeah
@ocean ether @worldly stirrup help please lmao im rapidly losing sanity irl

is this just not doable or smth?
whatever strat i can come up for you isnt going to be accurate because my units are vastly more built
this is the best strat I can come up with for you but its unlikely you can get the clear because as I said, my units are vastly more built
replace steward with click
@long lotus
i will give it a shot ig.
deploy order goes myrtle on top of mountain to charge dp > lappland > click > silence > caper > perfumer > tequilla > mountain
hold after that do NOT deploy cuora first
remove myrtle, place popkuar on top when boss passes and kill exactly 4 snipers then remove popkuar, this step to prevent snipers killing civis
then wait for boss to go on the tile cuora is, where mountain can hit him but before boss gets blocked by mountain
then deploy cuora
so boss is blocked by cuora and not mountain, this is very impt because mountain will get nuked if he is blocking boss
then just kill first phase, save caper and mountain skill for 2nd
when 2nd starts, wait for the boss to smack cuora with claws TWICE and howl before activating cuora skill
once boss targetable, activate all DPS and healing skills, then try to do as much damage as you can before boss nukes cuora + mountain
if need be, deploy myrtle, popkuar and spot to slow the boss from reaching mountain, because its unlikely you will have enough DPS to kill the boss
anyways if you manage to kill the boss, gratz. If not, mountain will die and boss will make a loop, you have one more chance to cuora + DPSes
if you fail at that point, then its pretty much operators too weak and your only option is borrow LOL
btw, mountain is on S3
^
will try 🫡
I would suggest beagle instead of spot since the only reason you using spot is to stall boss 
do i use tequilas skill to dps the first phase?
you probably need to
just start his skill as the mobs are approaching since you might struggle with that part
anyways, I videoed, now uploading
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ArMdbLjbxQ @long lotus
will take a look thanks 
even if you clear... 4 mins per run to farm a mat 
That sounds like a RL sanity drain moment
what do i do if the boss doesn't die when the cleaner spawns? (see: 2:12)
do i just cope the heal preassure?
cuora should be able to tank p1 even with cleaner
worst case slap a few drones from silence
alr
just remember you need to save all your burst for phase 2, so try not to use your burst
anyways, in general, use cuora skill and she should be able to withstand the boss without healing skills, once she is out, you will need to use healing skills
if you cant kill by the time healing skills run out, chances are cuora is going to die
you can then attempt to stall with all the available ops you have before the boss reaches mountain and pray you get skill up
If you fail at this part, boss will still make 1 lap around giving you some time to re-deploy and do one last effort
I am not sure if you need to use both silence and perfumers skill together, so just check how much damage cuora is taking and healing from, if you can, try to stagger if she can survive with only 1 so you can prolong your agony skill recharge time
I feel like the last time I farm alloy is last year....
IS-10...
there was alloy on dorothy rerun I think
I slept through that
Unfortunately
well, this event isnt good for newbies with all the DPS / healing / defense checks 
@long lotus anything else? I am off to bed in 3 mins when my mud is done with her M1
not really, thanks for all the help! 
all the best, ping me if you done so I can take down the video
idt u can
no, its not possible to solo with ling
Low op record is 2, Ling paired with someone else
Ling Kal (Texas for DP)
Difficulty rating of stage: Ling doesn't solo 
Some tip to this?
Spawn top most car to taunt boss 3x3 skill and kill rest of stage, then break throne and beat shit out of phase 2 boss. By having nuke and doing damage after bomb remove damage reduction (Also if you delay bomb for 40 seconds then you can spawn new one before boss destroy spawner making you have 8 instead 4).
Or something tanky and enough AoE to stop boss phase 2 spawns
Or true damage goes brrrrrrrr
Always forget it is an option
I have Kaltsit and Nearlter
can u teach me about the 40 sec delay?
Bomb spawn is 40 SP cost thing
Phase 2 boss has 90% damage reduction unless you slam bomb into him
After it boss kill bomb spawn which spawned that bomb
If you delay hitting boss with bomb you can spawn another bomb before he does that
why cant I True dmg nuke him?
100000 hp or something, also attack speed down aura or something (From 3x3 skill which he cast on himself in phase 2), also 4 fucking slimes he fart out every 20-30 or so seconds
will mudrock die easily by 3x3 skill?
Boss hits for like 2000 arts or something in phase 2
so shes dead in 2 hits
Phase 1 - normal speed weak ranged attack
Phase 2 - slow powerful melee slap
how slow?
1 per 6 seconds. ranged 1 per 4 seconds
Basically prts exists, i gave my opinion on stage and boss and told phase 2 hit hard. I need to IRL a little 
I managed to beat the stage 
Loading screen tip still have the LMD recruitment
How bored you are to reed screen tips

Well I mean during load times you don't rlly have anything else to do
Might aswell.
200IQ question
on 7-18, it says the rest of the enemies spawn after you kill the 18th enemy in the 1st wave
but whenever i take patriot to 2nd stage and keep the 17th enemy alive, it still spawns in the 2nd wave
the jetpack dudes
is that not true anymore?
You need to kill phase 1 before last enemy of first wave spawns and keep it alive till boss phase 2 die
That stuff true for many stages where more enemies spawn in boss phase 2. As long as you can kill phase 1 before all wave 1 enemies appear
ohh okay
alright thanks
so kill patratio's 1st stage before the 17th enemy spawns
And keep that enemy alive, yes
I don't know game code but i assume it mess up kill gate
Had to redo S-5, Typhon + Ines is brain dead mode 
Penance can solo left lane?
Hmm. I dont have typhoon.
Im just gonna use my schwarz to kill the boss
Any burst dps with buffs kills him
And kal to kill hitman from midlane right?
I used Pozy and Shamare on original run
Yes
Noted 👍
I did it.
I always forgot to activate penance skill lmao.
So i use blaze for left lane
vivi kinda ate zaaro in IS-10 surprisingly
there's zaaro and cleaners coming in off-waves and she just has enough damage to mob them
mud vivi duos
Ah yes, mud
She or penance quite suitable for these stages
penance solos 
i'm pretty sure she does postmod
mfw i have to bring two ops to do the job of one bc that one op has 3.7k atk onskill, arts reflect and way too much barrier
Sadly Ling can’t do this anymore in future event 😦
what did it cost you? Did you get the boss in one go without mountain dying? 
That'd be nice but in reality, the average run:
Somehow barely able to burst the boss on the 2nd loop
is this even farmable LOL
well... look on the bright side, at least you cleared it, though not even sure if this is farmable 
borrow typhon and manual farm every run 
Who even farm in rerun event
The drop rate is just simply bad
keep your trolling out of #strategy
EN cant read eh? Anyways this is not the place to talk about drop rates, keep your trolling out of #strategy and do try to read the big giant 1 next time
A lappdumb reaction is not enough for you. Here, have the entire image.
🔥✍️
umm
Yeah ik typhoon easily solos
the amount of typhon tiles in this event is too damn high 
Yeah it's basically tailor made for them tbh.
just realize there was a record bluestacks so kinda trying that out
now I dont need to record using nvidia anymore with the massive file sizes 
How bad is the rate for blocks in the rerun?
Is this rerun rates or the original event rates?
rerun and original same until it enters SS / inter
Really? I always thought rerun was gimped
Oh well I guess blocks are still worth farming then
no thats when it enters SS and inter
I still wouldn't farm blocks because 1-7 
nvm I am

Well nvm not 900 yet
Must have used some for something
Idk when I piled up this much rock
I don't even farm 1-7
Rock used to be the most abused resource
Idk why I haven't used it in so long
Farmed so much that you ran out of things to use it on 
I don't even farm itttttt
I haven't touched 1-7 in months
I only farm blue rock
I'm down on RMA and alloy block though
question
how well does penance s3m3 at lv90 does against zaaro's phase 2 in this spot?
on cm
Uhh wouldn't recommend pennace
Use a healable tank
Zarro does about 1500 X2 per swing on CM
And that further increases in blood debt
Pennace only has around 800 defence so her shield will take a beating
hnnng
i have a krooster but i think its not up to date
Joshi or at worst cuora
let me do that rq
Vivi can just duel zaaro with healing
...if i got her.
A few practise plans wouldn't hurt
Cement would be a fun pick
Wait you have hoshi
Just use her and mylnar
That's more than enough
It's a matter of medics
The issue is more of her level than her mod
or reedter s3
yes, i got her back when i was lvl 7
do you think penance can solo lanehold the right lane?
Then texalter
Probably
May need some help from texas
Just have someone to deal with the liquidators on the bottom lane and deploy them last so your healers dont get screwed
if i remember, mudrock hasnt died to the liquidators whenever i tried that
though she didnt have the dps to handle one before another came in....
Try and point mylnar towards her then
I don't remember the map layout but he may be able to cover the red box if mudrock walls it off
now that you mention it
ok i think i got it
brb
so my hoshiguma with s3 active at lvl40 gets 1076 defense, meanwhile... my jessicat at lvl90 with s1m3 gets 1319 defense
so should i just use jessicat then?
Wait
factor in hoshiguma talent lel
Lmao didn't see jessicat
yeah i was going to say
Just use her
hoshiguma has her rng talent
but given im gonna stick reedter and penance to her... i dont see a point
is that witrh shield buff
Just use Hoshiguma lol
reedter has attackj debuff btw
really useful
ah
my hoshi's second talent adds +6%
i used nian in my old run
ill just go with the cat
Even cuora with mod can tank the boss
modless hoshi ew
just use jess
90 Vs 40
yes but i cant deploy her shield where im placing her
Use jess
Doesn't matter much haha
gonna put my plan in practice now

auto correct?
?
what is event world 8 u are talking about?
is-8 ig
okay so there is no name like that, becareful.
124 sanity cap, hmm.
can you show your operators?
oh i see
ye
almost all enemies will just walk to the middle line, just dump every you have there
in the end part of the map, there will be enemies who will walk directly to the left box, so just prepare some units for it
are you looking for auto farm?
if for walking through, borrow reed alter, she wiped the stage.
borrow
borrow xD
find someone to leech to
NikoRU#5710 , i will add u soon.
so u dont need auto farm, correct? cuz your message has 2 means and i'm not sure which one will be right for your case.
not really
unless theres something goof there
but i doubt ill be auto farming it
rocks ofc
oh yea orirock cluster guaranteed
hmm
not for now
i just wanna do the character missions
i will give u a auto farm strat if u wanted
your ops can xd
make sure u add me for that purpose
i'm going to log in now so wait
i get you man. your ops can but you cant
that's why i said that i can give u a auto farm strat
sure :)
@undone sundial reed alter is ready
ty
wait a bit for my reed timing
i already record a video foe youtube so lets me check it again
okay, so deploy your vg first, get enough dp, deploy reed in this tile (wait)
active her skill when it's fully charged
alright
around 26th kills (2 guys with black hat comes) active her skill
41 or 42th, active her skill again
it almost over
now your last mob is a guy walk straight to your top left box, maybe a tank is enough
gg
@undone sundial
notes:
deploy those ops on high tiles first
then thorns
then both your tankers
they will eat shots from crossbow guys and casters
warfarin s1
exu s3 (u need to find a perfect timing here otherwise wait for me)
thorns s3
eyja s2
s2
saria s1
ofc, are u sure u have a well built s3 eyja? cuz burst dmg to wipe mobs in the last waves is needed within one skill activation.
eyja s3 offskill is basically useless
why not just borrow ifrit and then AFK
He has mudrock to tank mid anyways
auto farm
he does not have ifrit too D:
okay so in short, i gave him a walk through strat and he finished it
now it's about auto farm
just do something like this
@undone sundial
eyja s2 will do
ethan S1 will be better honestly
point is, you want to stall the invis hitman inside eyja's attack zone with a beefy defender, they are bascially sacrifices
ethan dosent really help much so you can just drop him 
since you have kal, thats good, you have a fast redeploy sacrifice LOL
for first invis hitman, stall until the timer runs out and he looses his buff, then let him in to get smacked by your mid lane
dalao
point is, you want to stall the invis hitman until the buff runs out or is about to run out before letting them in to your frontline
yea which is why I didnt use her skill
ah sure thing
its just using monstr as FRD
get ya man
would be easier if he has shirayuki or other AoE ops though 
How does totter fair against the invis snipers
invis sniper?
ah, the hitman
idk, i never used totter before 
Not too bad
prob he can deal with them since he specialize in killing invis enemies
for me, its just much more easier to tank them with defender tho
I highly doubt totter will kill them fast enough 
and most of all... totter attacks heaviest enemy first, the invisible enemies have a high chance of spawning together with the heavies so totter wouldn't even target them
the cars and these guys are higher weight than the invis hitman (3) so yep
totter is a giant cope 
challenge?
ex or s stages?
either ways its mainly just borrow typhon if you dont have 
no one ever doubts about bassline tanking abilities 
what level is that totter? 
e1?
what about hoederer?
his lvl?
no, that e2 s2m3
That's obviously not E1
Do you have mod
I didn't realize the thing was invis so I didn't use Totter
I just dumped Cuora on it killed with click xd
yes lvl3
does totter work outside of S5 though, since they spawn with other heavies
Nice
thats a very expensive totter 
Totter s2 is multi target so as long as there aren't 2 heavies in range, he'll work
he does work well in ex8 too
he just doesn't do as much damage with 2 targets vs only 1
sadly E2 m3 mod 3 totter is out of reach for low rarity stuff most ppl here are asking about 
lvl90 m9 
if im not mistaken bass was getting his sanctuary buff too
oh, i forgot hoe also give sanctuary to unit behind him
coping with ansel is hard, i can’t wait for degen event, to skip her and build harold instead 
i also have hoe at e2 60 s3m3, but still dont know how to use him correctly. 
he work like dreadnought guard right?
to kill elite and boss
yes, dont force him to be a mountain, he’s meant for harder enemies
i just hope HG will give hoe good module, like add dmg reduc, more atk speed, or maybe amplify healing recieve
hoe already has high hp, like 6k or smth
imagine if he heals 7% hp per sec like mountain
that would be 400-500 hps
with s3 activated, it become 700 hps
he's already strong people just don't like using crushers
A "who can kill me" moment 
Hoed has 6488 health when maxed out.
if Höderer could handle normal AoE guard tasks, he'd be just straight-up better than them because of his higher ATK and HP -> HG tried to balance a new archetype for once
use him vs elites and bosses
Could they? Isn't the main danger them just one shotting
Healing recieved is about the only thing I could see them doing tbh. The archetype already has bonkers damage.
% self heal!! 
He already has that.
no as in, mountain level of passive % self heal
okay, maybe thats too much... just 3% will do!
195 hps.
I wouldnt call that unkillable, but lol
3 more than Mountain.
Mountain 192 per second.
SilverAsh 153 per second.
Specter 74 per second.
Specter is 177 per second (With Gladiia 3.5%).
but without the extra % dmg taken and with a buttload more HP 
Extra damage taken is Quartz...
I consider -def as extra damage taken LOL
Brawlers have low def to start with, so a 10% reduction really isn't much.
its 20 btw
Talent +0.1 Skill -0.2 = -0.1
402 by default. 362 with S2 active, 442 without it active.
But yeah, +healing recieved I could see as the trait all crushers get since pumping out thousands of healing on demand isn't exactly common.
And +aspd stat bonus from module
2.5 sec atk interval is too long 
speaking of modules... how bad is mountain's mod
I mean, on paper it really looks shit
Mountain basically doesn't need his talents until you're malding his dodge on something he really shouldn't be fighting anyway.
how useful is this...
Yeah. Not that good
I would rather use the resources for other operator
Maybe base module is enough.
More than that is just waste recource
Then S2 active he goes from 1138 atk to 1246 atk, with 10 aspd. Even if he gets the other module it will still suck since the devs love boosting def via talents.
Especially since it will be 15% phys dodge boosting his def/phys dodge talent.
If not wanting to waste resources the best upcomers are GoldenGlow, Wisadel, Logos and 1 other I'm looking up.
Yeah, Im definetly gonna mod3 GG.
Hey folks, currently doing the event is-6 stage. I’m sure of got the units that can do it just a skill issue on my part and would appreciate some guidance
degen probably
If you're getting Degen then she really wants her module for the damage multipliers.
Zuo Le loves his module but it isn't mandatory.
Ela module is a huge boost but she basically isn't really used outside of showcases.
The lord guards all got great modules.
what r u losing to
not sure what you are losing to because this team shouldnt have any issues
Right at the end a bunch of henchmen get through and I’m all out of steam
mid or left
is it bc ur blocking the limo so a bunch of dudes spill out and ur out of block
Mid map
That’s the one
sounds like limo
do you have gravel
Specialist.
an option is to actually block the limo early and almost kill it, then retreat the blocker and let a ranged unit kill it
Yes
he has mountain, lappland and hoshi though, cant mountain just solo left side and right side have lappland + hoshi?
limo can't be silenced ik that for sure
not for silence but just for damage
oh
S2 for arts dmg
maybe
and to block in when it explodes
Ok what’re we thinking because this sounds good but I’m confused
Mountain on the left is what I was doing anyway
Hoshi mid
Wait i need to check the map.
I kinda forgot how it look like 
honestly... I would say just borrow typhon and skip the stage because you arent going to be farming here
I’ll refresh until I get one. Yeah I’m trying to farm incandescent alloy to e2 pinecone
What role is typhon so I know what I’m looking for.
Sniper
anyways just do something like this
I doubt you need a recording for this, its pretty simple
ignore kal, forgot to take her out
not used anyways
Who should I take out for gravel
dont need gravel
she wasnt used lol
everyone was either blocked by cuora or mountain or lappland
ptilo is in a very bad position so might want to swap her and steward so she can actually heal lol
but its not like its a very heal intensive map so dosent really matter
in case it wasnt obvious, use hoshi in cuora's place. I dont have hoshi
you can swap fang to someone with more dmg to help kill the limos faster, dosent matter
or just borrow typhon and skip the stage 
Typhon and moving mountain down there trivialised it
The limo wasn’t the issue then it was the big masked archer thing one shotting stuff but typhon stun kicked in. Had those three ranged tiles with arts mages
you are not going to like stage 8 btw
Well I need 10 for alloy farm. I have a feeling I’m just gonna do 3-6 and pray
as in stage 8 is pretty painful even with a borrow
I dont even know if its possible without E2
That stage is dps check lol.
Need a lot of AOE
E1 lava got it no problem 😂
Still farm some of the earlier stages to buy out the pulls and exp/lmd from the shop.
Those battle records are 56,000 exp.
Yeah I’ll see what I can milk out of it the next couple days then go back to working on e2 pinecone. Thanks for the help, appreciate it
lol why is this video 100mb
@clever bluff This is the best strat I can come up for you for IS-8 https://youtu.be/HsjF-CpgMDc with your team + 1 typhon borrow
wont be accurate because I got quite a few E2s more than you do but if you cant clear with this, then eh.... good luck?
Bro has zero E2 ops.
yep which is why its nearly impossible 
or try following kyo's guide, he didnt use any E2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUKtbJRBzdM
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.
Arknights - Il Siracusano:

Arknights - Main Story Levels:
h...
torn if I want to do module for GG, is it worth it?
12 - 6 can anyone gimme a mountain?
IS-8 is easily the most brainrotten (and hardest) level in this event
it's literally random bullshit go but 0 downtime
While it is indeed random bullshit go it give decent time to get DP to deploy player owned bullshit
Her module gains the biggest boost on stages where she both uses S3 and can change targets a lot. Plus S3 has the biggest +atk% to boost going from 300% atk explosions to 360% atk explosions.
Her base module goes from 20% initial to 35% initial so going from 6 attacks for max damage to 5 attacks for max.
The upgrades boost the explosion atk_scale%
The raw stats take her from 391 atk to 429 atk.
If you're trying to decide between her and a different operator, or to hold the blocks for a future operator, hold off and see how much you use Degenbrecher. Degen really wants her module for the attack multipliers, after her it's a bunch of "ehh" modules before Wisadel/Logos/Lord guard quintuple punch to the gut and resource pile.
Plus the whole, if you don't really use GG then it's 12 module blocks you can't get back.
Note. The sweeper is NOT part of the stage count and spawns if the bar up top gets full
Also not sure if it works on every stage, but in S-1 or EX-1 my kill of last enemy filled bar but stage ended before sweepers spawned 
the stage ends when you reached the kill count and there are no enemies on the map, so this is probably intended
i can only think of the ch11 trees being an exception to this
yh the trees kinda have an "active" flag to prevent the stage from ending after everything else's killed
unlike, say, the DV robots
well, was planning on Degen, and certainly want the Lords etc, right now I can afford up to Ascalon
next after Degen was Shu, Zuo Le, Ela and Ascalon
What are some suggestions for challenge mode Zaaro?
EX-8 or S-5 ?
S-5, I’m having trouble with Ex-8 but I did that before so I can do it again
I use blaze and kaltsit to deal with left and mid lane.
And use anyone else to delete boss on the right side
yea, you can use Kal'tsit s3 to cheese the boss, true damage bypass the damage reduction
I try to do that but those cleaners do so much damage, and so do the cars for some reason
Mont3r can spawn kill the cleaner
And kaltsit can also heal blaze on the left side
The rest is just to deal with boss and right side
that team is just enough
Use hoshi to tank boss
Ifrit facing right so she can hit boss and other enemies
While mlynar kill the boss
And any advice for the car rush on the left?
I have her
And place her in mid facing down so she can heal gavial
And summon mon3r to spawn kill cleaner
What tile is best to place him?
Like this
Replace blaze with gavial
And then just deal with boss when he is on the right side
also remember to bait 3 op for the boss 'Fear' skill
if all civis died
or just damage 25% hp
Almost one that one, one cleaner killed Momst3r with the barest sliver of health but I had Saga back up to kill him

Ended up with Ifrit, Ch’Alter, and Mlynar trying to burst down Zaaro and he still killed Hoshi right before dying
One more S stage is need to challenge mode, S-2
In my case, I use quercus for healing because she give 16% shelter.
It help my cuora to survive the boss
I used Shinjng for the shield and physical buff
I think that one just like making the cleaner appear faster
borrow shamare or virtuosa and boss goes from hitting like a truck to tickling your units 
It would be more better if you place ines shadow sentry first before deploying mont3r
I tried using Virtuosa, he tended to kill her
where did you even place her, and deploy order? 
same 
I probably paced her too close
Also what the hill is mean when one of the little tasks mentions exploding a car
dont block the car when you land killing blow, can block any other time
kill the car while it's not blocking
And a Shadow Silencer for S-3
you can kill car while having levitate and sleep too, because those effects doesn't mean about blocking
just bring gravel and retreat when its left with alittle hp 
I, uh, haven’t actually raised Gravel yet
I could use Red or Phantom
you may need gravel because her barrier from s2 can help a lot
You can just use saga on them
Since wounded enemies doesn't get blocked
Also a good point
So yeah. GoldenGlow is easily below Degen and Ela, on the same level as Shu and Zuo Le and way better than Ascalon.
Module and their upgrades.
Degen and Ela modules are pretty huge upgrades. GG, Shu and Zuo Le upgrades are all super nice to have but if you're rationing "how much do I use said op?". Ascalon module is garbage and makes Vigils look good.
Damn I didn’t get it right
you are prolly underrating how huge his mod for zuo
as for shu eh idk maybe she'll get better mod
The mod is great for his kit. However he is still king of an unpopular archetype.
Similar to Penance module. Great for her, but she doesn't really get used all that often by most people.
archetype is whatever when 6* often break most of their rule
if unpopular means not afk or people hating button pressing i guess that's fair
Shu has the advantage of being in one of the most popular archetypes as well as "take a freshly deployed Saria, lower her stats a smidge, now give her both module effects and a greater focus on healing". But GG is damage.
It's like Mountain having 2 meh talents to begin with so the modules are going to be underwhelming. Chong Yue has a module that is about as impactful as Zuo Le since it's just more SP with each auto but it's not even part of the conversation.
Lmao zuo le is kinda cracked
You are right, that's what I get for woke up with no coffee.
Either way, GG is one of those ops who can be used almost everywhere with a good module but not a great module so it's a question of opportunity cost rather than any real meta reason.
Yes, a single event that is now over that had a taunt + res enemy means she fell off.
Especially when said event gives 50 aspd per gramophone thingy.
also stacks based on how many of them in a stage
Super fun event mechanic with some of the most milquetoast enemies possible.
There IS taunt enemy in IS... Which i found out only in EX stages because i leaked "event's dog" 
Turns out it was EX-7
I really didn't notice him being taunt due all chain caster bullshitery going on
tanky shit dosen't exist when kal is around 
Best op to tank the boss for IS-S-5?
Hoshi
I'm alr using hoshi for the bottom left tho...
Someone with a good medic.
Ng + silence? My lumen is on hoshi
Silence would be good since the boss is phys damage.
Wut
I did complete this stage on initial run, but I used a support kal, wanna see if I can do it with my own units
and have Quercus DR buff too 
Using Typhon + arturia for DPS, I'm just having trouble tanking the boss
you don't tank the boss, you kill the boss
Stainless turret 

My quercus isn't built
I do have gnosis tho
Yeah, phase 2 is painful. You need someone who can take those hits and someone who can heal those hits quickly.
iirc CM phase 2 boss has 2k atk per hit or smth
The only solution I can think of is maybe hoederer? I don't got him tho
Hoderer + 4 medics
Doesn't he have over 5k hp on S3?
I know Gladiia mod 3 + Skadi has worked to tank. Bison, I think I remember Matterhorn also doing it.
I mean, your issue is outheal the boss dmg lol
Bro does not know how def works
even if 20k hp with 0 def, boss still slaps him like a paper
10k, still folds
Good ol' saria stall then?
You can slow him down with your suzu instead
If allowed to stack her talent and with module, plus the standard array of healing.
Wanna keep him over here so he doesn't kill mudrock on the left
And so he stays in Typhon range
P1 clear
Managed to clear all the S challenges
P2
you can still use him to provide his talent to your blocker 
i used bass+hoe to tank, only male ops 
Swalter 
If Surtr event on CN have her alter i will call it Salter
Maybe with infinite dp
Borrow ling 
tried, failed. :(
What?
How?

too many leak at the start
Use your vanguard for early laneholder
@undone sundial are u still needing help on auto farm is-8?
nope it worked :D
glad
Ifrit or gacha?
you don't have enough to buy out the pulls or wdym
I never have enough to brought the pulls
either way I wouldn't buy Ifrit though because powercreep
Ifrit role isnt exactly powercrept yet but she is kinda too sparsely used buying her is not worth it
yes, buy pulls. Once your account is powerful enough you can cope module blocks 
Just have 100+ mod blocks in depot like me

Also ifrit is rec op
I think I have about 50 e2
Even less reason to waste certs on ifrit
Ayo bro where's your E2 Myrtle
If you want to borrow E2 OP operators then you must have E2 Myrtle raised
i have e2 cutter?
don't mind him he's just trolling
bet
Anyone prema stun the wolf on his phase 2?
Well okay then, you can see Low End guides in YouTube
KyostinV or Eckogen
Okay new account
Not Perma Stun, but Typhon S2 can interrupt his attack animation
I just feed him to Eunectes Pozyomka. His fault for having lose stun immunity in phase 2
Can you imagine Texalt cant stun the boss in her event
But I just slap her S2 and Surtr
Can someone help me with placements
Thanks
damn
which diff is this
I... Lost it the first time i played this, dont want to lose again
The first difficulty
i would do something like
Reed on the range tile in the left and use s3 to clear the map
ig you can open with Reedic and Jessicat on the two tiles all the way to the left. Once Reedic is done plowing snow you can deploy more stuff on the ranged tiles in the middle
then myrtle to generate dp
jess S2 should be better
if you have enough health you can ignore right side until boss is dead
Oh, okayy
I have 10 health, but I'm not too confident
No buff?
Got any luck with fordartals? How much life points you have left
F nope, no foldartal buff
pozy will kill the boss very quickly, it should be fine
jessicat + reedic can hold left
if this is low d, i would wait until i can deploy horn and jess in the same time and deploy horn first on the right and jess on the left
@undone sundial anyways whenever u need support units, remember to ping me.
i always remove friend to maintain one free slot for people like you
defo open with reedic
Iirc i had some problem with my units dying when i tried it for the first time
So like, should i keep poz etc under reed range?
u don't want horn to be a target of the boss so u want to deploy her first before jessica
yes, but you can just deploy mwinner on another column to draw aggro. The boss attacks full columns from top to bottom
since u know, u have no medic other than reedic
Oh okayy, and like iirc boss had same periodic dmg stuff like is2 bsl right? Who should be the other target other than mlynar
you won't have to worry abt baiting tbh
This is bad advice don't even think about it
the other target should be someone inside reedic range
once this tile is free drop mlynar here
the boss will just attack him til the end of p1
Oh okayyy
Also boss has 2 phases?
Just kill the boss ASAP, Pozy, Mlynar can make it quick
boss target 2 units, and 1 of them will be mlynar
so whoever will gatekeep right should be deployed first so they won't take aggro
p2 is at half hp
p2 is at half HP where it gets 2 target and like tons of DR
Okayy so in a nutshell
I should follow like:
Open and clear snow by reed→drop jess on left→drop mlynar and poz?
Dr=damage reduction?
yee
I pretty sure texalt and yato can solo the boss
i rather drop myrtle first after reedic
reedic can kill the dog rush with her s3 so u should prioritize DP first
Because they always do
Oh okayy noted
Thanks
Will try, thanks everyone
You have any damage up relic
btw retreat myrtle once you've set up
you can save her for p2
deploy her last in some empty lane to bait the stun skill
is JK supposed to be the typewriter
yes
Reedic should destroy all of the snow even to the right of pozy, so it should work
so she can focus down the boss together with mwinner
Thanks everyone, i did it
All Advices were really helpful, finally 1 thing to take off my head
epico
I just had enough with these stage
only take that give dupe furniture 
^^^
whats the issue?
Hi, Currently trying to do lungmen downtown but I am having a hard time getting past 320 kills. Could anybody help me with my squad comp?
Current squad atm
assuming one borrow?
yes
do you have lappland or arene?
or midnight
i dont have any of those
i was using cuora before i swapped to red cause i was trying other ways
well i am on 3-4 atm
i do, is ptilopsis not good enough?
ptlop is definitely good enough
she can handle lower lane
shaw at sl7 can handle bottom lane
u need max kroos tho
ditch red for gravel if u have her
i dont have much problem with the bottom lane with shaw and ptilopsis
vanilla on myrtle position, perfumer swap with ptilo, kroos swap with typhon borrow
u definitely need 2 vgs
the top side is the problem for me cause the flying units usually gets past
you not having midnight is a big eh....
do u have pinecone btw?
are you sure you dont have midnight? 
yikes
did I just see mlynar and silverash 
BLUD HAS MLYNAR AT LV1
what
i thought he was best at e2
this is actually a very stacked team
Just unraised wth
e1 mlynar outdps e2 silverash btw
hes pretty strong
even at e1
so i guess im going to use him in the top lane?
nah typh take cares of top lane
eh, mlynar wont really help I think 
u just need a blocker to reveal invi dudes
I heard silverash come back to meta again after mod. Is this true chat
typhon will take care of top to mid, you just need someone for bottom
once the wave of invi dudes are over
typh can take care of toplane without any blocker
leaving u with 1 free deploy slot
silverash will be around chalter level
with mod
Nah, they spawn in on the very top empty tile, so someone needs to block
thats after the waves of invi dudes

before i mean
im dumb
its the helidrop guys first
then wave of invi dudes
then typh can take care blocker-less
alright ill try that
fang takes care of helidrop guys since they will be out of range of typh and pinecone
gitano will be useless
red... eh, might need her to bait the bomb drones at bottom if typhon cant hit thoese
red to gravel
shirayuki to pinecone
kick beagle for a 2nd vg
so i put kroos infront of typhoon ?
bottom will be quite annoying tbh
no lol how are you supposed to fit that
so i use pinecone over kroos?
ok then meteors gone
pinecone is there to tank since shes tankier than typhon
who is healing top
for some reason e1 pinecone is tankier than e2 typhon lul
well since no silence ig myrh will have to do
he has ptlop so i doubt he needs silence drone for bottom
behind typhon?
