strategy

[craggy ether]

@spice mortar

when playing is

do i just go for the safest route

[fading wagon]

tq for this imma test it out

[spice mortar]

it depends on the stage

for example dont do emergency ooc unless you have god build going

but this is trial and error

[craggy ether]

im just farming lmd

and the rewards

• idk how to do god builds lmao

[spice mortar]

have you beaten is3 yet, it will get easier with the meta upgrades

[spice mortar]

pure chance

[craggy ether]

i think i beat it cuz i have deep dives

[spice mortar]

ah yeah nah deep dives are seperate from the main progression and battle pass rewards

[craggy ether]

didnt probably beat it then

[spice mortar]

to complete those you just need to get to floor 3 iir

iirc

and you get the rewards

dont need to full clear

[craggy ether]

@spice mortar i got clapped at the old man boss at IS

:/

[spice mortar]

btw for is related stuff #is-station

[craggy ether]

ye im just saying

i cant full clear

[spice mortar]

this is deep dive right

[craggy ether]

no

💀

[spice mortar]

cant full clear based off of what

[craggy ether]

that i died

[spice mortar]

a team with e2 feater?

[craggy ether]

yea

[spice mortar]

its a roguelike

go again

[neat skiff]

Technically speaking you can kill the first enemy of the first stage and leave and you will still make progress. It's 1 point but it counts.

[spice mortar]

focus on unlocking mind over matter in the meta progression tree

and its related upgrades for easy time

[craggy ether]

i have mind over matter

[craggy ether]

where?

[spice mortar]

its the mind over matter upgrade that gives you survivors contract

its somewhere on the bottom

until then just ignore mom squad

[spice mortar]

probably the one

[craggy ether]

ye

some survivor contract

idk what it is but yea

[spice mortar]

essentially its a stacking buff for one op, every combat you play it adds 15% atk hp and def to a random unit.

[craggy ether]

damn

thats op

[spice mortar]

so if you have done 10 combats it will give a random unit 150% stats

yes

[craggy ether]

how do u gain those upgrade points

[spice mortar]

ur not gonna believe what im about to say

[craggy ether]

play

the game

[spice mortar]

correct

[spark sinew]

how the hell do you have 5 ops at f3 end

don't avoid combats

[craggy ether]

i didnt

i skipped ops i wouldnt use

[spice mortar]

did you skip taking ops?

[spark sinew]

wtf why

[craggy ether]

like

my vanguards

are shit

[spice mortar]

?

[craggy ether]

why would i take a lvl 1 vanguard

[spark sinew]

pick reserve

[spice mortar]

upgrade fang

or reserve

[craggy ether]

fang was already

taken

[spark sinew]

more bodies good

[craggy ether]

so i gotta take

more ppl

okay

[spark sinew]

never skip

[spice mortar]

they are fodder for the cannons

[spark sinew]

especially in IS3

[spice mortar]

and give extra points

[spark sinew]

you literally want as many as possible to tank rejections

[craggy ether]

bet

idk i didnt get a single medic that game

cringe af

[spice mortar]

happens

[craggy ether]

i skip emergency ops tho

[spice mortar]

f1 emergency is fine to grab

especially d0

ur in the baby stage

try everything

[zealous cradle]

im fucking killing myself

[spice mortar]

gain knowledge

[zealous cradle]

the answer was goddamn exu

for rs-8

didnt have to change shit besides using her

[sly pivot]

is this your goat...

washed on day 1

[spice mortar]

Trash...

[craggy ether]

fr

permanent account damage

[signal lichen]

can't ohko with 1 skill actual trash

[craggy ether]

reroll for swialter

[zealous cradle]

now warf buff her

[spark sinew]

i got told that maxed vivi is worse

not sure how reliable that guy is though!

[sly pivot]

dont trust that con man

[spark sinew]

he even tries to impersonate you it seems

is nothing sacred anymore....

[sly pivot]

doesnt even 1 cycle with mine and warf

🥱

[spark sinew]

you know why

[zealous cradle]

oh

[sly pivot]

i think i shouldve stainless!

[spark sinew]

because you need a male operator

[zealous cradle]

not max trust

[spark sinew]

yes

[sly pivot]

6% saves this

[zealous cradle]

or 100% trust

[sly pivot]

who cares about trust

[zealous cradle]

it actually gives you stats

[sly pivot]

nope

[neat skiff]

People huffing copium.

[zealous cradle]

• module requirement

[zealous cradle]

thats like .2% hp left lol

[craggy ether]

@spice mortar 😦

[neat skiff]

Though, memeing on powercreep, I kind of want to see how scuffed Wisadel makes this fight.

[spark sinew]

i am curious how badly chen does

i think degen has way higher dph than irene

and irene was higher than chen

so even with buffs and maxed it probably won't work out

[neat skiff]

To be completely fair, Irene "won" largely in thanks to her S3 being 12 AoE attacks.

[spark sinew]

50% def ignore helps even if the uptime is not 100%

[neat skiff]

It's why you basically always saw her being used on groups of enemies and not so much single target.

[spark sinew]

like chen really struggles with anything even remotely armored

[lilac laurel]

Guys Reed alter mod, worth lv1? I'm not sure the rest is much interesting

And GG mod, worth? Even knowing that a future modY with Res ignore may be better

[neat skiff]

I have GG mod 3 and can actually see the relatively small difference.

[lilac laurel]

Reed healing effect increase is kinda interesting but probably next module will be better

[neat skiff]

Reed I see "if you use her tier 1 is a pretty decent boost to healing output, but the upgrades are anemic and not worth"

[lilac laurel]

Yeah probably will just go for Mod1

[graceful bear]

Is there anything that has enough DPS to relight the braziers while being cold?

[neat skiff]

Yato alter from outside a warm zone, from inside a warm zone many ops can.

E2L70 S2M3 with T3 module.

[graceful bear]

Is that the only solution to RS-8 or is there some way to direct Harold's extinguishing I'm not catching on? It seems...brute-force

[neat skiff]

To direct his extinguish I'm 98% sure it's the last 2 lit.

[graceful bear]

enemy info says its the closest 2

[neat skiff]

That is what it is then, I must have had him in just the right position that the left was a pixel or two closer than the top one.

[rough sigil]

Damn looks like there are no real easy ways to cheese this boss with one 6 Star

Big sad

[neat skiff]

Well, you sort of can. But it's basically a variation of a popular strat that uses Degen S2 to maintain frighten on the boss while someone else blocks. Drastically lowers the constant healing required.

Caveat, there is also some SP battery required for bad RNG.

[graceful bear]

Okay, so I figured out: Two Besiegers on the far furnaces can keep each other's furnace and the center right one lit
Problem is that Totter fucking dies to Harold's splash attack

Typhon beat the stage nonetheless but it felt like cheating at the end

[neat skiff]

A clear is a clear. Especially on meh farm stages for rarely used mats.

[sour talon]

Btw for anyone struggling with Harold, Goldenglow s3 quickly lights up any furnace (or any of her skills really)

[vocal leaf]

easy boss for the bois, 8 units tho i have to farm manganese anyway

i only fear ex stages, that splash damage is already deadly in story mode 💀

[worldly stirrup]

I can see this boss will be annoying in ex stages 💀

[graceful bear]

The map layout seems slightly less cancerous

[spark sinew]

2 lanes

one is without any heater

[somber stone]

Is one box just for harold

[graceful bear]

Yeah the top left box is just for Harold

[somber stone]

Yoooooo

[vivid rain]

cant believe they really just reinvented GA-EX-8

[spark sinew]

that looks like a really good spot for eyjalter huh

[vivid rain]

In infact, is

[timid schooner]

ow

better build lumen ig

cant believe why hg turn him into a medic lmao

[celest bluff]

Nahhhhh

[vivid rain]

it's literally upside down RS-EX-8 lmfao

the layout is actually the exact same

[cosmic thicket]

wff

[vernal lion]

YEET

[timid schooner]

yeet powah

[modern plover]

Should have gamble aak s3

Smh

[signal lichen]

for the life of me cant figure out a good way to activate becons without devices

[mental raven]

can someone hand held me

rs 8 is Hard af

[signal lichen]

i mean i would be willing to

[narrow pendant]

GG

[signal lichen]

yeah true gg

i was just messing with lower rarity

i can 100% get it in another few tries or handhold someone if they need me to tho

most of the map can be kinda stalled out

[narrow pendant]

I def cant handhold cuz i made my own strat with my own units, only thing i can handhold is virtuisa placement

[mental raven]

really ？

[signal lichen]

yeah

inb4 its level 1 account so i have to speedrun

[mental raven]

should we go dm

[signal lichen]

yes

[celest bluff]

I mean yeah

But hell nahhhhh Hypergryph

[tidal ice]

This ran three times without failure so AFK verified

[vernal lion]

should have placed Eyja down

[vocal leaf]

not enough men, i want more men on screen

[bitter halo]

beat the boss without a guide !

[narrow pendant]

Surtr'd

surtr spotted, run rejected

[bitter halo]

[narrow pendant]

whats issue and roster you have

[tidal sedge]

i see skill issue here

[glass monolith]

Just read him

They didn't f up translation this time? Right?

[tidal sedge]

nah i'd burst

en player no reading man

enough to burst

@tardy nebula are you still online?

do you have warfarin

you can easy phase 1 like this

saria s3

just when he comes into the skill range then activate it

you can do phase 2 with Typhon s3 + Warfarin s2

i think you mean that he gonna unlit the furnace?

i think there are more

like 6

[narrow pendant]

Unlit attacks are on a timer

But he has a threshold every 25% hp

Where he does the big nuke and gains invul for a few seconds

When that happens, have as many lit furnaces as u can
Since every furnace thats unlit is 1 extra bomb, +35% arts and phys dmg reduction for him

[tidal sedge]

maybe enough time to redeploy Surtr again

[signal lichen]

theres more then enough time to redeploy

[tidal sedge]

idk cuz my phone keep lagging when i play the event

don't even know how did i kill him

[vernal lion]

Harold nuked you? Let me introduce my nuke...

[narrow pendant]

[neat skiff]

Is that recent? Or CN?

[vernal lion]

ofc it's recent lol

[neat skiff]

Curious. A bunch of us have tried nuking the boss phase 2 and no matter what we could naver get from full to any further than roughly 60%

[vernal lion]

500 def and 50 res

probably physical dmg is better

[neat skiff]

Eben alone or Eben and the buff army do the exact same.

[vernal lion]

Eben issue is all the stacks is NOT same as Horn s2 phase 2

it counts per hit, not full shot

[neat skiff]

I hate this game sometimes. Especially since buff army didn't even buff the per shot, it was the exact same amount of damage.

Across multiple people.

[vernal lion]

remember this gif? Eben did oneshot Degen boss but the boss still can proc the disarm skill

[neat skiff]

At the same token the slime boss phase 2 skipping the last slime.

[vernal lion]

and if you check that frame clearly, you see Degen lost 25% hp, that's a shot of total shot

[worthy topaz]

Bruh the nuke skill is dumb af.

[neat skiff]

The nuke skill is basically "What does Degen S3 do? Hard counter it".

[long lotus]

How tf

[neat skiff]

Horn S2 overdrive + a lot of buffs.

[narrow pendant]

Keep furnaces lit

And nuke becomes a joke

[neat skiff]

As well as potentially some animation lock BS.

[vernal lion]

Harold nuke shot = 1 + n,
with n = number of deactivated furnace

[worthy topaz]

I literally had every furnace lit except one (maybe 2 where he might unlit one and I missed it) and he still killed everyone somehow

[neat skiff]

So, Harold (in normal mode) has 800 attack, in phase 2 he gains +20% for 960.
Each nuke deals 80% of his attack so 768. With no beacons lit 5 nukes is 3840 arts damage.

[worthy topaz]

What are the best units to use to keep furnace lit tho?

[neat skiff]

GoldenGlow is fantastic at getting beacons lit (if she is inside a warm zone) since beacons have taunt.

[worthy topaz]

cries in I want GG but I still don’t have her

[vernal lion]

also, when he extinguished your 2 furnaces, you should wait to lit the furnace back again before keeping dealing dmg to him and he will proc the nuke

[neat skiff]

Yeah, his nuke checks for number of beacons lit at the very end.

So the 10 second invuln gives you some time to panic light.

[worthy topaz]

How many times can he proc the nuke skill

[narrow pendant]

4 times

[vernal lion]

every 25% hp lost

[worthy topaz]

Holy fuck

[vernal lion]

so 3 times

[neat skiff]

3 times.

[narrow pendant]

Start of p2, and then evet 25% hp

[neat skiff]

75%, 50% and 25%

[narrow pendant]

Oh not at start p2? Must have seen wrong

Mbmb

[worthy topaz]

Start of P2 isn’t the nuke

It’s something else

[narrow pendant]

Its the turn off furnaces thing ye

[neat skiff]

P2 starts the timer of extinguishing at 15 seconds then 40 seconds after reepeating.

[worthy topaz]

So every time I hit the nuke I need to stop every damage and quickly lit the furnaces. Got it…

[neat skiff]

The boss is very much about damage control.

Or Nightingale S3.

If not blocked all his shit is arts.

[worthy topaz]

Or if you nuke his entire Hp in one hit with horn that works too right?

[vernal lion]

yea, tanking with defender is not idea for this,
slow is pretty solid to slow him down

[glass monolith]

Fucking enemy info don't mention frozen beasts revive at end of enemy spawning in

[neat skiff]

When blocked.
Phase 1 is 2000 phys damage per auto.
Phase 2 is 2880 phys damage per auto.

[neat skiff]

Because the training mission did.

[glass monolith]

They mention they unfreeze from ovens unless I missed some bullshit line

[neat skiff]

Ovens will unfreeze them early. They will defrost by themslves.

[vernal lion]

that's just almost like the tree enemy in chap 11

[worthy topaz]

Imagine reading training mission

[vernal lion]

except it doesn't get buff

[worthy topaz]

Kekw

[neat skiff]

EN reading?

[glass monolith]

EXCEPT TREES HAVE FUCKING CREED TO NOT DO IT WHILE ENEMIES STILL THERE

[vernal lion]

tree with 200% hp

[neat skiff]

"the beasts wake up on a timer" - wtf is a training mission?

[worthy topaz]

Wait dumb question but can furnace take elemental damage from virtuosa or nah

[vernal lion]

nope

[neat skiff]

So, they will wake up 200 seconds after the mission starts if not warmed up straight away.

[deft badger]

hahaha

[neat skiff]

So the game saying "it's a timer" is actually the proper truth.

[deft badger]

they died in 1 sec 😄

[worthy topaz]

Btw how much damage reduction does the boss get for each unlit furnace?

[neat skiff]

35%

[narrow pendant]

35%

[neat skiff]

Stacking multiplicitively.

[narrow pendant]

Multiplicative

[neat skiff]

Phys and arts reduction.

True and elemental go brrr.

[worthy topaz]

Mhm I see

[narrow pendant]

Which gives up to 86.11% reduction with all 4 furnaces ded

[neat skiff]

Goes higher in EX8 since there are 5 furnaces.

[narrow pendant]

That goes to 116% wtf

[vernal lion]

basically, Kristen v2

[narrow pendant]

So harold is dmg immune in ex8 if all 5 are turned off

Fun

[neat skiff]

Nah.

[narrow pendant]

[neat skiff]

Multiplicitive stacking, it gets closer and closer to 100% without ever getting there.

So EX8 he will have 88.39% DR with 5 furnaces unlit.

[glass monolith]

???: "Pathetic"
Harold: "Who says that"
Kristen (S-5 CM version): "PATHETIC"

[neat skiff]

So, how the math works. 35% DR leaves 65% of the damage.
So each stack of math DR is 0.65.
With 3 beacons unlit you do 0.65 x 0.65 x 0.65 - 1 which gives you -0.725 or 72.5% DR

You get infinitely close to 1 without ever getting there.

[vernal lion]

Kristen, when she p2 died and all her balls died too:

[glass monolith]

#strategy message

AK players when the enemy has mechanics (EN can't read)

[vernal lion]

marvelous

[civic bear]

niche player when the enemy has 4 paragraphs of mechanic but it walks slow attack slow and can be blocked

💹

[neat skiff]

Nicheknights had an absolute blast with Sanguiniarch. "What do you mean the boss has zero ranged attacks?"

[glass monolith]

And then i found out you can just have 2 balls damage Liskarm

[vivid rain]

Remind me of the good night kirsten vid

[vernal lion]

*goodbye kristen

[vivid rain]

Erato perma sleep stall (it’s 38 hours actually

[long lotus]

Hey ppl how would I beta RS-8 with this squad?

For some reason I keep getting absoloutely steamrolled by the boss

[vernal lion]

you can try this strat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TmVOw6boHM

[narrow pendant]

You dont need to cope for being abel to do auto deploy, cuz u dont farm the boss stage anyway

As R8-11 of main story is better

[tall sierra]

Sigh this boss is so annoying

Especially when he douse the bloody heater when his nuke is coming

[neat skiff]

Eckogen also has a really good low end guide.

[long lotus]

Worked, thanks!

[vernal lion]

[deft badger]

when does the boss start throwing frozen meteors? when there isnt a heater burning?

[narrow pendant]

If u mean the big dmg ones, at 75%, 50% and 25% hp

1+1 for each unlit furnace

[deft badger]

well big frozen balls are falling from the sky xD

all over the place, i killed him but just wanna know when does he do it, for later stages

[narrow pendant]

Thats the big dmg ones then ig

[deft badger]

well it wipes my team so i guess we mean the same thing 😄

[narrow pendant]

The ones that turn off furnaces, and u can see like a targeting lock on which hes using it on, has a set timer

Turns off the closest lit furnace, 2 in p2

And if that wasnt enough, each unlit furnace gives him 35% arts and phys reduction, multiplicative stacking

[neat skiff]

Phase 1 = 15 seconds after spawning and then every 30 seconds after.
Phase 2 = 15 seconds after phase 2 starts and then every 40 seconds after.

[deft badger]

= just nuke him xD

[neat skiff]

Hahaha, have fun with that.

Let us know how it goes, they're still fun.

[spark sinew]

he's literally anti burst boss

[deft badger]

challenge accepted 🫡

[neat skiff]

Or burst hard enough he dies inside NG S3

[spark sinew]

i mean duh, whale account can still bruteforce it, there's no real challenge for you

so there's no need to accept it

[deft badger]

dude u are more stacked then i am xD

stfu

[spark sinew]

(and i don't count rolling ng dodges as a challenge)

[neat skiff]

The best part is whales being global players and getting absolutely shrek'd.

[spark sinew]

i played literally multiple times longer

[deft badger]

guy who has every op on lvl90 calling out my acc

[neat skiff]

"I'mma use Degen S3 and delete the boss"

Followed shortly by "all 12 of my ops are now dead"

[vernal lion]

Cliff Clip presenting this

[neat skiff]

Clip was anti-FRD.

Dude is just "suck my burst, now die"

[vernal lion]

Clip was almost anti-everything lol

[spark sinew]

cliff reminded me of andoian

just zoning you out

[spark sinew]

the fact that she didn't die doesn't help much

[vernal lion]

tbh tho, Clip was easy to be nuked

not this mf Harold

[glass monolith]

#strategy message So you telling me i get another rematch?

[vernal lion]

at least he is NOT Harold

[glass monolith]

I just reached Harold stage cuz lore reading, also sleeping also other stuff

[deft badger]

him getting invulnerable for a 2nd time in p2
nvm don't care, will have to stall then in CM

[spark sinew]

fake whale

burst harder

[vernal lion]

have fun with EX CM, he got massive buff

[deft badger]

😂 😂 ...

[deft badger]

well i bet its going to be a pain dont care going back to warframe... cya later..

[crude oak]

GG module, yes or no?

[polar crane]

[narrow pendant]

Skip or mod1

[neat skiff]

I have mod 3 and can see the difference. Said difference is small but is very much noticible.

[crude oak]

yeah, see why I'm on the fence?

Degen's is already planned, as well as Zuo Le and Shu

[spark sinew]

if you're using GG it's an ok boost

but even if you're using her now, will you really use her later on? Personally i wouldn't

[neat skiff]

I use GG constantly and have ever since I pulled her. Her S2 is so good.

Though I also love casters so Logos bumps Eyja down more than GG.

[crude oak]

I do use her occasionally, S3 usually, but S2 for AFK content

[midnight edge]

Is Hoederer a good op for newbie

[neat skiff]

But her other module would be better. Instead of starting at 35% the cap goes from 110% to 120%

[neat skiff]

He can be pretty good, with the benefit of his S1 gives % healing.

Other ops would be easier, but have a lower ceiling compared to Hoed.

[crude oak]

the other thing to consider if future ops too

[neat skiff]

At least future ops wise the modules between here and Wisadel banner are all middling upgrades.

[spark sinew]

oh?

[crude oak]

well, Ela's is good

Shu and Zuo Le I guess as well

[neat skiff]

That means using Ela.

[spark sinew]

ela is mandatory
ray is good
asca is mandatory for mod1 but ig you meants mod2/3

[crude oak]

after taking 150 for Degen, I considered skipping Ray

[spark sinew]

Zuo is mandatory

[crude oak]

but that's gonna be hard since she's actually good

I mainly meant the Lord modules

[neat skiff]

If we're talking future then Ray has already been powercrept.

[spark sinew]

so we have like 5 units (if you don't count wisadel logos)

with 3 of them wanting mod3 fairly hard

[neat skiff]

Yeah, lord are all good. Though Frostleaf is still left with absolutely nothing.

[crude oak]

yeah, I think I have about 80 blocks atm

that's the gate

[spark sinew]

oh yeah forgot the new mods, was looking at units only

[crude oak]

then Gamepress goes down, so my planner is no longer there

[neat skiff]

Almost back at least.

[spark sinew]

where and how

[crude oak]

true, just hope it's before v2

[crude oak]

Walter?

[neat skiff]

Wisadel.

[spark sinew]

what the hell do they have in common besides sharing a class

[neat skiff]

Especially with Rays module being 90% S3 utility.

[spark sinew]

which doesn't even come up that often

[neat skiff]

Coldshot benefits from the module way more than Ray.

[crude oak]

From what I saw, Rays module was kind of meh

[spark sinew]

while being insanely shittier as a base unit

[neat skiff]

Rays module is "if you intend on pulling and using Ray the module is a good boost. If not it won't change your mind"

[spark sinew]

it makes her much easier to use

[spark sinew]

i actually don't even see this

[glass monolith]

Damn i don't recall last time boss stage was this big of clusterf-

[neat skiff]

It's not like Spalter or Executor alter where their module takes them from mid to global actually wants to pull on the banner now.

[spark sinew]

ray had better base than exec pre mod, no?

[neat skiff]

Easily.

[spark sinew]

so worse improvements to the kit still make a lot of difference

[neat skiff]

Strong DPH and bind CC.

But the module adds a flat 600 to the DPH while being a godsend for making her S3 line up as long as you remember to retreat the sandbeast as the skill ends.

[glass monolith]

I have one question - WHY THIS BOSS IS FARM STAGE?

[neat skiff]

Because damage control is a thing.

[spark sinew]

thorns actually feels not garbage here

that mechanic makes dots more valuable

[neat skiff]

Pre-module Thorns is not garbage.

[glass monolith]

I just have 20 fucking enemies cluster fucked on me while boss already turns off ovens and i am playing no 6* yet so F off with Thorns

At least boss hp is noddles

[spark sinew]

eh sure

thorns felt "worth bringing"

[crude oak]

Thorns module worth getting IMO

despite how much we hate on the guy, he's still useful

[glass monolith]

IT IS NOT OUT

[neat skiff]

Not until Wisadel.

[crude oak]

Thorns was fine for this event

I was also too busy IRL to learn maps, and followed AFK guide

the maps felt overall quite easy

[glass monolith]

Thorns would assist my ass but i want to no 6* and fuck my like this oven placement make my brain lag.

If only i had built Flatinum to ignite middle and top from bottom

Any way i can have character hold oven, ignite 2 more and have free (From freezing lol) slots for medics to meme on boss

Also 8 deploy limit is just evil

[neat skiff]

Robots can hold towers.

[spark sinew]

i assume maga works as well

or scene, depending on which tower you want

[neat skiff]

8 deploy limit isn't really helped by summoners.

[glass monolith]

What is fucking targeting on his oven turn off?

[neat skiff]

Proximity.

Closest 1/2

[glass monolith]

MF PIECE OF SHIT FUCK

FUCK THIS BOSS

And fucking oven reignite has CD of my entire roster

[neat skiff]

Ops in warm zones have a super easy time igniting other torches.

[glass monolith]

I have no fucking operators who make it easy

[neat skiff]

Do you have a deadeye E1+ ?

[glass monolith]

They fucking prioritize oven on left

This Oven reignite CD (i know igniter bypass it at least), this stupid need to hold it on specific side which make me need 2 operators to hold and spread it, this stupid no way to bait oven targeting of boss

At least on normal stage his attack is small so i can no brain it still

[neat skiff]

Merry christmas 😄

[glass monolith]

Now time to read lore of Degen doing that "guy slaps everyone" video

[jovial nest]

beating harold was quite the handful if still using trust ops filling most of the space

Gladiia and Spelter's immortality really helped on that part

Forget to give boss HP

[neat skiff]

He has 40k so pretty average.

[glass monolith]

40k? He felt like Frostnova with healthgates

Like i press Tequila and he is just down 2 healthgates

[scarlet mortar]

that's a tequila moment actually

[neat skiff]

40k health, 500 def 50 res. The rest is his DR mechanic.

[spark sinew]

he's tanky enough

[neat skiff]

EX is 50k health, 700 def and 60 res.

[scarlet mortar]

i mean if he were any tankier people would lose their shits

so it's fine

[spark sinew]

IDT there's any problem that he "only" has 50k hp and a bit of defense if you play by mechanic perfectly

[glass monolith]

"mechanic perfecly"
Fuck this piece of shit 4/5 oven with 8 deploy slots

[neat skiff]

Do the mechanic he has less stats than some trash mobs from main story. Fail the mechanic and those stats have roughly 85% DR

[scarlet mortar]

this is just the offensive variant of lone trail design

(offensive against us)

[neat skiff]

Yup.

[glass monolith]

(Stacks medics on Quartz)
Stallable variant

[neat skiff]

Lone trail = hope you like 7 block.
Silbernherze = hope you like 4k arts damage .

[scarlet mortar]

stacks block on quartz
stallable variant

[glass monolith]

Lone Trait:
Step 1: Warf Kroos phase 1 in 15 seconds
Step 2: Manticore for so long stage ends before Krist even walk half way

[vocal leaf]

speaking of lonetrail, now with harold cw-s-4 cm is possible without ansel exploding when you clearing the starrings

[spark sinew]

bassline huh

[vocal leaf]

next welfare wanqing is going to be one of the best additions for maleknights, a free max pot flag, give me that now please

cc is going to be a bit easier

[vocal leaf]

he to block kristen and then to block the cars

[foggy grove]

Just have max pot Ely

1 dp cheaper fr

[vocal leaf]

2023 player still not max pot ely, just pot2 still wanqing is just qol update especially for cc

[foggy grove]

Pot 2 ely cost the same as max pot wanqing

[vocal leaf]

it will be better than coping with courier

[coarse wharf]

is there any tutorial on how to position the units? I feel so lost when I'm playing the game

[celest bluff]

Okay what the next limited banner and when R6 part 2

[narrow pendant]

[narrow pendant]

Well, how you position your operators, depends on the stage, your strat, the operator thrmselves

[glass monolith]

Ranged enemies and/or their abilities target last deployed operator, some enemies have special targeting which bypass taht rule. Blocked enemy will attack blocker.
For position tip... Make sure your operators face in direction which don't get you killed by some chain reaction

[glass monolith]

[quick iris]

Yo is it possible to beat rs-7 with e1 50lvs

[glass monolith]

Depends on what e1 50s we talk about, but should be possible

[marble parrot]

Its doable at e0 max lv

[spark sinew]

with 6 slots!

[marble parrot]

This means this event is EASY!!!

[astral cosmos]

rs7 is easy tbh
paprika shalem frostleaf clears

do you guys think this can clear rs8

[cyan gorge]

I know Greyy2 and Quercus are great there, but that’s it

[spark sinew]

how would you activate heaters

[astral cosmos]

I'm committed to not using greyy2 or leonhardt in this tower

[astral cosmos]

mint on center activates all of them

(3)

(don't care about the leftmost one I can just flint it)

[quick iris]

Oh no

[cyan gorge]

I brought Kirara for the middle one

[quick iris]

one soldier one shots all my operators alone

I use this load bcs those are only ops i have leveled up

[astral cosmos]

yeah, I'd've liked a Kirara there, but I already used her in rs2

I tried Verdant as well, he works well but I can just put Frostleaf on his position and it somehow still works

[meager merlin]

Anyone here understand how Harold's targeting works against the Heaters when he's in 2nd phase

My autos keep failing and it's driving me mad

[somber falcon]

Pretty sure it's just the last deployment system

Aka last activated, in this instance

[meager merlin]

So the last two activated

Any tips on how I could keep them up?

[remote perch]

i pretty much giveup keeping the heaters lit up lol
i just tank him with AH and whenever my medic is up during my blind run

[meager merlin]

Who are you using to tank? I have everyone but spectral

[somber falcon]

Iirc yato s2 can force kickstart one if you're pressed for it

[meager merlin]

I've been using her, he keeps nuking my entire team after he puts the heaters out

I would love if I could phase him before he gets really close the the blue box but my ops get overwhelmed by the additional ads

[somber falcon]

Good ol' uncle on leftmost heater can work fine for phase 1

[narrow pendant]

Why are u auto'ing it anyway?

[meager merlin]

Need the mats duh

[narrow pendant]

Its 15% less efficient, farm 8-11 instead

[narrow pendant]

[somber falcon]

Bro raising an army

[narrow pendant]

I mean, very cool
doesnt change the fact that 8-11 is better for farming that mat

[tidal sedge]

RS7 has 3 different red boxes to camp

They made stages annoying to fast farm again

[halcyon adder]

Any easy and fast trust farm for rs8?

[narrow pendant]

Would rather trust farm rs7

Rs8 takes too long and farming it for the mats is inefficient

[halcyon adder]

I have too many mango

Still farming it till 150 mango but after that have to do rs8

[celest bluff]

Should I

[narrow pendant]

Sure, its pretty great

[halcyon adder]

That mat is basically not needed at all

[tidal sedge]

Idk. I run out of it if I neglect it

I wish RS6 was sugar instead though. I'm almost out.

But I probably raise more ops than most

[karmic glade]

green version is a sidedrop in 1-7, so it's basically free

[tidal sedge]

I don't 1-7 farm these days. That is probably a factor

[foggy grove]

i actually run out poly sometimes instead of whatever trash on rs 8

[chilly tiger]

You could bypass the nuke using a burst OP with a buffer i did it with Tachanka + some buffers and Debuffers when Harold is about to use his skill to unlit you can burst him and he wont be able to go immune

[meager merlin]

Holy shit, you the Tachanka guy on YouTube?

But also that's a good idea, I could Chen + Warf him down and hope he dies

[tidal sedge]

Doesn't he have hp gates to prevent one shot cheeses? That seems to be something I hear.

Tachanka probably works because he attacks rapidly

[chilly tiger]

Thats what I thought then I saw another Tachanka Player that basically made the HP stoppers irrelevant

its like with Steamknight

[tidal sedge]

I've seen Eben buffsquads achieve something similar

It's because of multi-hit/rapid attacking

[chilly tiger]

probably some spaghetti code cause it only works if Harold is about to use his skill and any other time the immunity works as intended

[hot orchid]

So uh, what should i do?

[celest bluff]

Restart

[chilly tiger]

Kyostin is the wae

[celest bluff]

This guy is using flagpipe

[hot orchid]

More dp😎

[foggy grove]

and that dp doesn't save you apparently

🏃‍♂️

serious answer tho just read boss description and use the furnace

[meager merlin]

I got it

Went full ooga booga and did a Castermiya S3 / Kal S3 / NTRK S3 and Surtr S3 cycle

Let's hope it holds up

IT WORKS

Probably the worst fucking clear of my AK career

[modern plover]

Tfw boss only has phys and arts dmg reduction

[glass monolith]

And "My squad reduction" in the form of almost 3k damage pokes

[last canopy]

Guys I can’t beat RS-8 help

😭 when the boss does his stupid wipe tactic idk what to do

How do I keep the furnaces up?

[glass monolith]

With suffering, copium, and being lucky to have operators who make managment easier

[last canopy]

What ops can even relight the furnaces by themselves

The meter goes down so fast lol

[celest bluff]

Yalter

[last canopy]

She’s the only one?

[celest bluff]

Exu

Brrrtttttttt

[glass monolith]

Stage is hell because i can't manage boss position to make him extiquish only one ovens i don't care about

[celest bluff]

Anyone with comparable aspd

[bitter halo]

oh no. goldenglow WHY

[glass monolith]

"closest to blue box"

[bitter halo]

is that also a requirement ?

[tidal sedge]

Goldenglow is pretty good in that map

[smoky halo]

any marksman or fast attacker works

[bitter halo]

oh i was talking about her module

[smoky halo]

the fireplaces only need 4-5hits anyway

[glass monolith]

[tidal sedge]

She kills 80% of the map pretty easily

[glass monolith]

Apply only if you next to working fireplace and if he is as good as i am THEY ARE NOT

[smoky halo]

just use marksman

or anyone with marksman range

[glass monolith]

And then because boss placement he turn off oven next to your marksman and you fucked

[smoky halo]

cant u uh

place a medic

the marksman doesnt get 1 tapped anyway

the boss also targets closest fireplace

so u already know which one he targets before showing

[glass monolith]

IF HE TURNED OVEN OFF WHICH HAD YOUR MARKSMEN - NO LONGER SPEED TO REIGNITE SPEED

You ignite ovens in 3-5 hits IF you in range of working oven. If you not in range of oven you can cry about it here

[narrow pendant]

Just S3, place her where tal spawns and she'll kill like 2-3 drones in 1 skill

[glass monolith]

Goldenglow talent is gacha inside gacha for gacha

[narrow pendant]

Just get lucky

[glass monolith]

8 deploy limit is bullshit

give me 9 and boss stage is free

[narrow pendant]

You can solo that with yato alter, borrow her

[glass monolith]

Let me see my Yato in "No 6*s"

[smoky halo]

copy the 3star only clear

[glass monolith]

I'm not against using 6*, but using them as early as normal stages is massive skill issue on my part

Please tell me Trim medal is "have all 5 oven working at once at any point of time" - not all 5 working the moment stage ends

Also... I didn't expect those snowball throwing dudes (Lmao it says "Victoria" on snowball) to be so menace, screw snowball itself, they just proceed to 28 stab wounds me after throwing it

[neat skiff]

*crickets*

[glass monolith]

Laugh in 20 second CD

Also there is some small challenge in my way... What was it... Oh right EX version of boss

And with how masterfully i managed him on RS-8, I'm fucked

[neat skiff]

Positive note at least, there is a 15 minute 4 star clear.

[craggy ether]

hiya, i really need help with this been struggling and i genuinely have no idea

[smoky halo]

borrow texalt yatoalt or ines

[glass monolith]

Kill drone, break box, Tatulah F- off. Ez

[smoky halo]

all of those 3 ops can solo the stage

[neat skiff]

That stage has nothing to farm, borrow an op.

[craggy ether]

is there a guide on what to do with texalter? or do i just place her under every drone and box

[neat skiff]

The latter.

[remote perch]

if u want a brain dead strat
borrow a Goldenglow and just spam s3 lol

[smoky halo]

see enemy
place texalt

thats it basically

[craggy ether]

ill try

[craggy ether]

the enemies that parachute down leak, do i just ignore drone and boxes and focus on them only?

[neat skiff]

The parachute enemies spawn slowly.

[smoky halo]

try to time texas so that she hits both the drones and the trash mobs

[neat skiff]

You have multiple deployments before each group spawns.

[craggy ether]

i see, can goldenglow entirely solo this level as well?

[smoky halo]

no

she can carry

[craggy ether]

i see

[smoky halo]

but she needs help

[neat skiff]

She can get super close to it, but she does need help.

[craggy ether]

talulah died 😢

ok i finished it with dead talulah

[glass monolith]

Time paradox

[remote perch]

rip secret ending

[glass monolith]

Screw secret ending, not even 3 star

[craggy ether]

man how do i get to the secret ending then

[remote perch]

keep tulula alive with atleast half HP left

[glass monolith]

Talulah didn't reach 50% hp on that stage, also it is just bonus lore stuff

[remote perch]

and 2 OP

[craggy ether]

do i just not break her box till i clear all the drones

[glass monolith]

You need to kill drone, open box, kill 2 drones, kill box. She bleeds and that super elite chasing drone thing

[remote perch]

i mean u can
but if u just let her stay near the start, her DoT will severely dmg her

[craggy ether]

maan im so lost

yes

[craggy ether]

do any of u guys have her

@remote perch wait is this the secret ending

[vernal lion]

yes, the orange line

[remote perch]

yup

[neat skiff]

Secret ending = have Talulah reach the end with 50% or more health remnaining.

[craggy ether]

i have it

[astral cosmos]

shit, so close

[craggy ether]

the yato strats work only with p6

[vernal lion]

bruh, you just need her tho

[craggy ether]

yeah but i dont have anyone added who has yato p6

[vernal lion]

you just need pot 1

[craggy ether]

no

[astral cosmos]

I might have to replace greyy with i-dont-know-who
if I splitbox the boss between the blue box and the tile adjacent to it, he'll target the top heater right?

[craggy ether]

the timing is off

[neat skiff]

Boss targets closest by proximity.

[vernal lion]

let me record it with mine

[craggy ether]

thank u

[astral cosmos]

ye, that's why I'm not sure if he's closer to the top one or the bottom one if I do that

seeing how he goes in diagonally instead of at an angle

[neat skiff]

Remember that you have 11/12 other operators to bring and deploy.

[dusky gorge]

yume, could we repeat one more time? sorry..

[austere rock]

okay

[dusky gorge]

i messed up somewhere

[austere rock]

the point is focus to kill left side

top left

[dusky gorge]

alright

[austere rock]

and keep the amiya alive

by baiting those flying wheel

im gonna repeat this again

[dusky gorge]

im sacrificing my viviana for that because texas squishy

[austere rock]

i used the weakest unit I have so you can swap it with anything

[dusky gorge]

i see

thank you for the demonstration btw

[austere rock]

wanna replay again?

[dusky gorge]

yup

one last time

[austere rock]

should I play on speed 1?

[dusky gorge]

speed 2 is ok

i got most of it last time

[austere rock]

see

kill that top dude and no leaks

[dusky gorge]

thanks for helping me!! I found that silence is useful and that virtuosa gets rid of the rebellion instigator and drone maker fast!

[austere rock]

silence is pretty useful since her drone can heal amiya

I dont have silence btw

[dusky gorge]

might eep, but thanks for helping me

[dusky gorge]

i see

[austere rock]

yw

well I have her.. just not build yet

@craggy ether

you don't need p6 Yato to copy Sciel strat

just, don't let Talulah got hit by ANY artillery shot

and you will be fine

[craggy ether]

i shlall try this thank you

[craggy ether]

your yato is on some drugs because mine that is borrowed doesnt deal enough dmg to destroy boxes in one go

[narrow pendant]

[craggy ether]

yup

[narrow pendant]

Borrow a better one

[craggy ether]

yours deals way too much dmg compared to the one im borrowing

[narrow pendant]

its lvl 90 modded, whats better?

Are u doing the challange version

[craggy ether]

no

[narrow pendant]

guh rs8 has such tight timings

[craggy ether]

yes

[spark sinew]

what if!

[astral cosmos]

nah idc about the boss nuke it doesn't do jackshit
just need to kill the last wave of enemies while keeping bison alive
gotta try flinting the other heater

[spark sinew]

stage feels so slow to farm though

[astral cosmos]

cristalline components are worthless anyway

[narrow pendant]

Its bad to farm anyway

Want cristalline, go farm 8-11

[spark sinew]

and get useless sidedrops

[narrow pendant]

Still more efficient

Shits written in #event-info

[lethal dragon]

It's not like you need crystalline alot

[spark sinew]

is it actually
i tried to bait someone into making sidedrops sanity weights less (because we shouldn't use the sanity values as if we would ever farm story) but no one bit

[spark sinew]

i see nothing suggesting that they did that

in fact it looks like they overrate sidedrops from story

[lethal dragon]

Absolutely hate this event
Both candy and crystalline I have amassed

[spark sinew]

yeah i have >100 on all 3

but that's just every event

[lethal dragon]

I had candy at 270

Don't remember crystal

[craggy ether]

@vernal lion how do i know whether i have unlocked the secret ending?

[astral cosmos]

meh 50 crystalline 17 candy
more than enough :clueless:

[spark sinew]

that's why you don't have indra raised still

go farm!

[craggy ether]

cuz im unsure if talulah was on 50%

[astral cosmos]

ya im out of sanity

gotta wait hours now

[narrow pendant]

It will open a stage below that one

[craggy ether]

i had that openeed when my talulah literally died lol

[lethal dragon]

Send screenshot

[narrow pendant]

And you can see if shes below 50% cuz she will have like, a red aura around her

[astral cosmos]

ugh imma take a break from RS-8
very painful stage, still could not figure out the timings for the end part

[craggy ether]

this opened when my talulah died in the stae

[astral cosmos]

too bad I can't use folinic because she's a garbage healer

[narrow pendant]

Not that one

Thats just another stage, not the hidden one

[craggy ether]

damn

yeah she had the red aura

[narrow pendant]

The one with orange lines have hidden stahes to them

M8-6 for example u need to keep all the shieldguards alive

[craggy ether]

what

how the fuck do u do that lmao

[narrow pendant]

which is annoying

[astral cosmos]

either burst the shit out of possessed mfs or use shift to split them between the shieldguards
annoying req

[lethal dragon]

With all these new operators surely it'll be fairly easy

Wait for zuole to come out is probably the easy way atm

[astral cosmos]

too bad there's no ranged tiles close enough to the shieldguards for me to use tsukinogi s2 to heal them

[narrow pendant]

i still have no idea when or how u get guard amiya, probably not there yet story wise

[vernal lion]

if you did it, you will get EG stages

[latent monolith]

I did it with horn+thorns

[astral cosmos]

FINALLY

glad to see this clears RS-8

[spark sinew]

used all better ops before?

[astral cosmos]

these are the better ops

[spark sinew]

greyy2 where

quercus ish

[astral cosmos]

tried to not use greyy2/leonhardt in this tower if possible

im more and more trying to distance myself from these two, until maybe someday I can finally exclude them

[glass monolith]

it is Free event/red certs 5*s only i assume

[near folio]

Does Harold do physical or arts damage? His basics hurt like hell

[astral cosmos]

melee phys, ranged arts

[glass monolith]

MENTAL DAMAGE when he disables my ovens because i suck at keeping them under control

And then reach healthgate 0.00001 second after casting his skill to disable 2 ovens

[near folio]

How is my Cuora with help from 2 healers dying to Harold?

[astral cosmos]

he deals 3x his atk as phys dmg on p2

[glass monolith]

3k damage, you like literally die if not full hp or something

[astral cosmos]

so tanking him is tough for sure

[near folio]

How did your Bison survive off skill?

[glass monolith]

Play heavyrain, roll dodge every second attack, easy

[spark sinew]

heidi bison greyy2 3 man the stage

how broken is bison

[astral cosmos]

ceylon outputs 1.2k on skill proc, else it's Breeze rotations that match Bison S1 cycle (Breeze is 1k per heal on S1)

sorry 5* supporters look the same to me

you get the idea!

played too much is4 yes

[glass monolith]

Quercus / Heidi / Sora / Shamare / Pramanix...
Damn this game is too lazy at character design after printing 270 of them, next they will go Magic The Gathering route and print Fortnight collab?

[astral cosmos]

aight managed to record it first try that's rare

[astral cosmos]

it's funny though cuz cuora is supposed to have more def than bison offskill
bison has more hp but eh

[astral cosmos]

also relying on the fact that Ceylon is fine outside heaters' range cus permanent status resistance, and Breeze gains this onskill so she never gets frozen

[near folio]

Lol ok Harold is such an unpredictable boss

The fact that the heaters have a cooldowm before they can be attacked again

So annoying

What an interesting interaction, heavyshooters target frozen burdenbeasts over heaters

[west path]

Thankfully this event has no drone

[glass monolith]

Would be funny if it did, you know snow and shit, literally opposite of drone time

[vernal lion]

funny 10k DPS Typhon

[tardy ore]

What does trust farm mean?

[hard laurel]

Trust is a crucial element in the game that affects the performance of operators. Each operator has a trust bar, which indicates their level of trust. When an operator's trust level exceeds 100, they gain additional stats, making them stronger and more effective. Trust farm implies using few operators to clear the stage and filling the rest of the squad with operators with low trust to raise their trust levels by clearing the stage

Example of a trust farm squad

[near folio]

Just as planned

[tardy ore]

tyty

[celest bluff]

Usually the boss should die before I kill 6 mob enemy

[glass monolith]

Kamist explanation was little off. You gain stats (which stats depends on operator, you can press on trust to see effect) from Trust till 100, but you can increase it till 200.
People friend supporting from you gain half effect so you need to have trust 200 for people who friend support from you have effect of Trust 100. Module unlock (additional layout of power after second promotion, heavy time gated by module blocks) on operator also need Trust 100

[celest bluff]

Please don't tell me you are đoing some obscure challenges

[quick iris]

Guys is there tactic how to beat rs-7 without elite 2 units

[glass monolith]

(Me doing no 6* outside of EX-8) Okay, i won't

[celest bluff]

I mean this

[glass monolith]

It is IS, obscure challenge called tickets suck and i got few temporary recruits?

[tardy ore]

👍

[astral merlin]

someone knows a stable guide for trust-farming rs-8? tried all kind of stuff, boss turning heaters off randomly just makes it impossible to autocomplete stably

[glass monolith]

He turns off closest heaters, only possible RNG is stuff like Kroos alter etc deciding to crit to healthgate early to get screwed by time offset

[astral merlin]

this isn't true, he turns them off randomly

[glass monolith]

You sure you didn't kill this explosive dude next to them, or forgot to deploy operator on tile on right etc which caused them to turn off without boss skill?

[astral merlin]

nope

the same replay working perfectly before gets absolutely random heaters every time i replay it

[glass monolith]

Video or didn't happen i guess

[zealous cradle]

i found that when i tried the stage it ended up lagging kind of hard (probably due to low storage) and lag results in discrepancies because ak runs on seed based replays

like everything happens on specific frames and if you lag then it shifts and rng can change

[astral merlin]

let me try recording it

[tidal sedge]

The usual suggestions would be to avoid tight timings and use fewer to no ops with rng effects

Like if there's inconsistencies in what heater Harold shuts off, your initial clear might have barely turned on a heater before he uses his shut off skill. So frame skips could affect when that heater turns on which then changes what heater he shuts off, affecting the course of the auto

[astral cosmos]

he turns off the closest heaters, that's his mechanic
anything that deviates from this is a bug/weird lag/timings screwups

[zealous cradle]

yeah like i said its probably lag

[glass monolith]

I told it yesterday and will tell it again, i am surprized it is farm stage, last few events when boss stage was too bullshit it was one time thing

[astral merlin]

yeah, rs-8 is complete bullshit

Idk why HG is so inconsistent in making boss stages farm stages or not

[astral merlin]

like, its easy to complete once because you can just use the device, but for farming

[tidal sedge]

Especially as bosses get more complicated

[zealous cradle]

harold isnt really complicated

its more so just

use the event gimmick or die

which also isnt really complicated

only problem with autos is probably just lag

[tidal sedge]

Timing sensitive then

[zealous cradle]

in phase 2

[astral cosmos]

why are people even farming rs-8 🤔
it's obviously inconsistent and long asf unless you've got a buff squad or something else
the mat it drops is shit

can't rs-7 be trust farmed instead or is there a reason i'm missing

[astral merlin]

i have over 650 magnesium

[tidal sedge]

Some folks might need Crystalline Components

[zealous cradle]

crystalline components from events have historically always been dogshit

[astral merlin]

and 266 crystalline components

[zealous cradle]

like if its not just straight up inefficient

its worse than story stages

[astral merlin]

wait you mean rs-8 isnt even worth farming?

[zealous cradle]

and in this case its both

[zealous cradle]

yeah 266 is way more than you’d ever need

[astral cosmos]

isn't crystalline farming better in 8-11

[zealous cradle]

and its also just

bad to farm from events in general

like .85 efficiency

is dogshit

like actually so bad

[tidal sedge]

Is it because of side drop shit or smth

[astral merlin]

oh okay then, rs-7 it is

[astral cosmos]

considering how lengthy RS-8 is (unless buff squad)

[zealous cradle]

yeah i think its something about crystalline components having relatively low sanity values already and r8-11 is cheaper than event stages + side drops

[astral merlin]

anyway, obs isn't working with play games beta for some reason, so no video

[astral cosmos]

i use screenrec to record on gplay beta, works great for me
sound input dogshit though so

[astral cosmos]

izok, it's probably lag/autodeploy messing up. try to redo the stage with large timings to avoid messups if you really want to
have you cleared the shop yet? if not, if you find a viable, fast and stable strat for rs8, might be efficient for you to keep farming it after all

[astral merlin]

i am not worried of not clearing the shop, with premium' sanity potions you will have more than enough

[zealous cradle]

most events you can clear with natural sanity anyway

[astral cosmos]

dasfair then
just farm rs7 and you can go r8-11 on dead weeks or sum
though crystalline use isn't really widespread tbh

[zealous cradle]

if anything people should farm alloys and gel when they show up in events

[astral cosmos]

and rma

[astral merlin]

i think i bought most of mine from one of the token shops

[astral cosmos]

because fucking christ is rma awful to farm

[zealous cradle]

4-9 with the worst fucking drop rates known to man

[astral cosmos]

i farm rma in WD-8
im that desperate

[astral merlin]

wasn't there some event not that long ago that had decent rma drops?

[astral cosmos]

uhhhh i forgot

im already out of rma

[astral merlin]

lol, are you upgrading everything?

[astral cosmos]

yes

[astral merlin]

i have a huge backlog of non-meta 6-stars at e1, but snekk waifu is e2

[zealous cradle]

what are the good units for next cc and can i 840 it

[astral cosmos]

I heard Lin sweeps?

don't quote me on that though

[zealous cradle]

ew a rat

but yeh i heard shes the only one who can tank reefbreakers without some ultra jank strat

[astral cosmos]

uh huh yet dorothy is raised

[astral merlin]

oh good i have her with her module

[zealous cradle]

it was for base but then i realized i actually like how she plays

[astral merlin]

i am at 457/39 rma

[vapid totem]

Do you need to use a blocker behind magallan's drone?

[cyan gorge]

Do you mean her s2 drone?

[vapid totem]

Yes

[cyan gorge]

You could use a blocker but it can be used fine on its own

its limited range isn't very helpful tho
