So you telling me NG doll can keep oven running but not Stainless device? Man this game is biased

tidal sedge
#

Stainless device is coded as an enemy I think

#

Oh. Wait

glass monolith
#

Only S3 as far as i know

tidal sedge
#

I forgot about his other devices for a second

#

Tbf I don't think they want literally invulnerable cheeses

glass monolith
#

Understandable... Will cheese anyway RedOmegaLul

#

RS-EX-8 should be super easy layout without any clusterf rushes of 10 enemies at time, right?

spice mortar
#

2 harolds.

manic vessel
#

how do i beat rs 8

unkempt lintel
jovial nest
#

whats a good map to get requirements of throwing enemies into pits while being a decent farm spot?

zealous cradle
#

uh

#

none

tidal sedge
#

If you mean for module missions, just use annihilations and quit before 100 kills for full sanity refund

jovial nest
#

a friend of mine answered the question....guard chip farming

#

i forget those are pits

#

Any tips for RS-7? My defenders get over-ran when everything defrost at once

karmic glade
#

do this when they defrost Sheew

#

or just deal with them one by one

vivid owl

#

How do I deal with this boss
He just freezes all heaters and then deletes me

karmic glade
#

the skill that unlit heater is auto recovery, so you need to offset his skill, after he use that skill, light up all the heater and than deal damage to him

#

than stop and wait for the next skill

#

Is it possible to skip all of Harold's invincibility phases during his phase 2?

#

i saw someone did it with horn s2 buffed,
tried it with degen s3 buffed didn't work

glass monolith
#

Because you need to do entire damage before game realize health gate is reached which is like 5 frames or so LappDumb

glass monolith
#

I experiemented with Aak + Silence alter. Aak s2/s3 manage to do 3 instances of damage before Silence Alter damage reduction updates

rustic spire
narrow pendant
#

Light them back up

#

You have ops and 8 flints

rustic spire
#

8 flints?

#

He nukes me before fire recovery is over, ops can't even start hitting

glass monolith
#

It would be so easy IF THERE WAS 9 DEPLOY LIMIT DIE
I swear with every new boss they reduce deployment limit by 1

narrow pendant
#

U can use flints even while furnaces are recovering, he'll only really nuke your squad if too many furnaces are turned off

#

Since each unlit is 1 extra nuke

karmic glade
glass monolith
#

He nukes only on 75/50/25% HP

narrow pendant
#

If you have all 4 lit when you reach the 75% 50% and 25% hp thresholds, he wont squad wipr you

karmic glade
#

degen won't work because it's multi hit damage

narrow pendant
#

Plus, every unlit furnace is 35% phys and arts reduction for harold, stacking multiplicative

#

So all 4 is 88% dmg reduction so, have funDocSmile

Would not use Amiya outside of campaign

ionic mortar
# karmic glade .

So wait, when phase 2 start, I have to not lit the heater until he does a move?

karmic glade
#

keep the heater lit, but only do 25% damage after he use a skill

#

otherwise he would use the nuke and the unlit skill at the same time

#

and nuke your entire squad

(Skill marks ovens for turn off, execution is little delayed)

ionic mortar
#

This keeps happening and I don't how how to deal with it, everyone is just dead

karmic glade
#

yeah, you have unlit heater, the dude throws a extra nuke for every unlit heater on the map

glass monolith
#

Also you let frostthrower dude advance to place where he will turn off middle and top heater off on death

#

And Mudmud blocks Surtr's favorite ice cream stand enemies outside ovens making them die slower

karmic glade
#

goldenglow is really good in this map, with S3 you can lit every heater on the map in like 5 secs

rustic spire
#

Could try healing her, thanks

celest bluff
#

Either I kill Harold and his goons before he even finish one lap around the center heater or kill him near the blue box

vocal leaf
#

thorns can kill harold afk while he’s walking around the top heater DocSmile

glass monolith
#

Thorns carry SoraWow
26/0/1 KDA Virtuosa

#

it also helps putting someone in that heater so harold stops constantly to attack that op and the same time keeping that heater lit, when is off thorns quickly get it lit with his dot talent

frighten is not ideal for perma stall, cause you need to block, and block is limited

#

How many nukes does Harold have

scarlet mortar
#

1 + number of furnaces turned off

#

every 25% hp on phase 2

hoary coral
#

Going to be tough to keep all of them lit three times

vocal leaf
#

just do it fast so he won’t even have time to do one attack after every mark

kindred rose
#

is this abhorrent selection of operators capable of doing 7-18? I am expecting a resounding "no" lol

smoky halo
#

cant u just borrow one of the many operators used for 7-18 solo

#

or is this 5star only

foggy grove
#

looks good

kindred rose
#

unfortunately I am handicapped, randomized 5 stars only, all 5 stars chosen by my friend who knows very little of arknights

smoky halo
#

thats a pretty funny playstyle

vivid rain
#

So this is your entire selection?

kindred rose
#

yup

vivid rain
#

Still easy ngl

#

Phase 1 patrick is solo’d by mines

smoky halo
#

ye solo phase 1 with mines

vivid rain
#

And phase 2 is actually squishy

smoky halo
#

teq for phase 2

#

funily enough theres a 2op clear with teq pluma

vivid rain
#

7-18 fell off so hard

smoky halo
#

highmorb + some other ops to help should be enough to lanehold tho ya

vivid rain
#

I still remember the video where kukikuze said that patrick is one of the strongest boss in AK

kindred rose
#

phase 1 is killed off relatively quickly with valarqvin s2 + mines and some slight help from provence
and laneholding the entrance isn't too big of a problem

phase 2 in the other hand, surprisingly kills me easily

smoky halo
#

wym who is killing you at phase 2?

vivid rain
#

Hmm? Oh patrick phase 2 is technically considered ranged so you should distance your setup away from where his P1 dies

smoky halo
#

or uh prepare bait

kindred rose
glass monolith
#

Have you tried to uh... Not deploy 20 operators in his DoT range before he start moving again? And maybe use medic?

vivid rain
#

Oh wait you have a ton of defenders it’s practically free

smoky halo
#

you should kill him away from where you're laneholding

kindred rose
#

he usually dies around here, which is unlucky but rinse and repeat, I'll manage it eventually

vernal lynx
#

doesnt penance solo it or smth

scarlet mortar
#

i don't see the issue

#

e1 pluma works?

kindred rose

hopefully, lol

scarlet mortar
#

i mean if this is a challenge run you could raise them

#

no, I am not that masochistic enough to do CM

kindred rose
#

ah, yeah I plan on that

deft badger

celest bluff
#

One thing keep bugging me

#

Why lumen is not wandering medic

#

Like there are primarily elemental damage in his event

surreal star
#

you could say the same with harold not being a therapistReedBean

#

though for lumens case, the elemental damage was nervous which inflicts stun so it checks out

surreal raven
#

why does harold do his massive one shot aoe?

#

is there a way to have that not happen?

lunar thorn
#

the boss notes explain it but basically, lighting up the furnaces will reduce the damage every 25% of his HP in phase 2

#

so once he's in phase 2, push him carefully and make sure to keep all the furnaces on

#

he fires additional barages based on how many are turned off

surreal raven
#

so if i keep him within the 1st heater, he will only target that one?

#

or an additional one?

lunar thorn
#

I believe he will target the heater closest to him to turn them off

#

but i'm assuming you're getting one shot in phase 2

surreal raven
#

yeah

#

phase 1 is no issue

lunar thorn
#

to prevent that you have to keep all 4 heaters on, you can likely live with 1 heater turned off with strong ops

#

or maybe 2 idk

surreal raven
#

alright thanks

#

so just use the auto heater on thing to keep the other heaters up

lunar thorn
#

yeah, my strat for the first time i did it was to keep the right 3 heaters on and use a ranged op to hit the left one

#

so harold would exclusively turn off the left heater and my ranged ops would keep turning it back on

surreal raven
#

yeah i have exusia for the leftmost heater

#

and i have ops on the rest of them to keep them on

lunar thorn
#

yeah with that and the flint you should be good

surreal raven
#

ok thanks. ill keep trying it

lunar thorn
#

oh right, phase 2 start, the huge square turns off all heaters in range

#

so you'll have to get them back on once before nuking the boss

surreal raven
#

which huge square?

lunar thorn
#

you can't miss it, once you lower his hp to 0 the first time there will be a massive icey square

#

takes up like half the screen

surreal raven
#

ah ok. i must be blind then

lunar thorn
#

you'll see it if you look for it

signal granite
#

(No that big SkadiDaijoubu, but enough to cover 3 or all of heater if position too near)

surreal raven
#

i keep him within this highlighted area

lunar thorn
#

that's a good spot to end phase 1

#

it usually misses some of the heaters and you can get them back on

surreal raven

Hallo! Would it be possible for me to clear RS-7 and 8 with this my current operators, I've tried but it was pretty hard ngl.

I know SN-7 isn't restorable yet, but I want to finish the story for when it comes out (lumen swag).. for the left side for slowing the double dodge dudes that spawn should I use proviso or.. I guess Istina?

tidal sedge
# remote perch why not just use lappland

I don't have her 💀 I played back in 2020 when they were doing all the easy 6* like shining, ifrit, and silverash.. and then didnt rly play primarily until early this year

vocal leaf
tidal sedge
#

thank you!

remote perch
tidal sedge
#

brother I was way more ignorant when I used that then I am now.. pretty sure I used it to get poncirus 😭

remote perch
#

i don't even think pornicus has it

anyhow
you should try to kill the dodge dudes in the left as early as possible so boss would eat the old dude in the right

#

since having more def would make easier for ceobe to kill it

tidal sedge
#

yeah.. my problem is that I can't seem to slow them long enough for both to die. which at that point seems more like the 2 sniper dps problem

#

I kill one, but the other leaks at like 30% HP

remote perch
#

as the other dude said
use proviso to silence them to remove their dodge

tidal sedge
#

gotchu, I'll get silverash S3 for future endeavors and so I can clear the double tanks that spawn on right side then focus on proviso

vocal leaf
tidal sedge
#

when I started playing I went full ignoramous mode and pr much maxed out poncirus and shining (outside of literal max lvl + pot) which atp I realize were probably the biggest waste of my time but it's all good!

tidal sedge
vocal leaf
#

there’s also erato who got sleep, you can get her from cc shop

remote perch
#

i don't really think its worth wasting CC currency just to finish a stage

tidal sedge
#

valid reasoning, does the event google doc detail the lumen restoration anywhere or is it just in general months away

remote perch
#

im not really sure about time for record restoration tbh

tidal sedge
#

np! I figured I'd shoot my shot asking. I maxed out shining, and wanted lumen as my second medic instead of my maxed perfumer lowkey

#

up until I get a more ultimate medic solution instead of bringing 2 for general issues

vocal leaf
tidal sedge
remote perch
tidal sedge
#

I'm rolling for her now! I have 5 "5/6 star" pulls left and then after I'll probably still pull because I definitely saw her S3

remote perch
#

i see
goodluck on your pulls AmiyaDeskBang
hope you get her, since you really lack good general DPS

tidal sedge
#

I've hit my most recent wall at the campaign where I used to be farming OP easy.. I'm at 6-5 and S9-1 just due to the fact I'm lacking as you said better DPS options

#

can definitely clear them but I've noticed it's gotten a lot harder even with variations like blaze, saga, ceobe outside of the easy 6* or welfare ones

#

thank you so much regardless! I'll keep going, this game is the only one of its kind I can stay entertained with to the extent I am

remote perch
tidal sedge
#

does blaze fall off terribly? I figured her 3 block 3-tile AoE would be decent but other people seem to preface casters nowadays I believe (?)

vocal leaf

tho there are alot more better laneholders than her

you can stall him with any defender that has good hp + 1-2 medics depending on how good your defender is. Make sure to do 0 dps to him in p2 and deal with the heaters. If you stall him on the last tile, he will keep flipping the right and top right heater which can be taken back from the bottom heater or with Horn from the left heater

leak him and come back later i suppose, the greatest cheese there is - overleveling

you need to leak him anyway

craggy ether
#

i get clapped its not that i want to kill the bird

spark sinew
#

you want to not dump damage into it

craggy ether
#

yea im not

spark sinew
#

because he stacks his dot if you do

merry narwhal

@spark sinew do you know who is next banner

i dont think there are any other stages with those gyus

is there air enemies?

do u pick emers

okay u just have exalt s3 up when he wakes back up

easy enough

figured the timing out

🫡

craggy ether
#

so

narrow pendant
#

I was also done with the emergency one on f3Bnuuy

smoky halo
#

wow khant dalao

craggy ether
#

what si the timing

sly pivot
#

first of all

#

exalt deploys without a vg

craggy ether
#

yes

sly pivot
#

so u shud plop him as soon as u can

#

okay thats that

#

u press skill when he gets it back

glass monolith
#

There must be at least 1 emergency per floor and almost all deep dives have something to make your job easier

sly pivot
#

i mean when its ready

#

that kills phase 1

craggy ether
#

ya

sly pivot
#

okay and u stall with bodies for the throwers

craggy ether
#

ye

sly pivot
#

and when the first giant sword dude walks in u activate it again

#

and kill that dude

craggy ether
#

giant sword dud

sly pivot
#

and u deactivate

#

after u killed him

#

and u get the next one ready

#

to kill the rest

craggy ether
#

wait big sword dude

sly pivot
#

and u activate it

craggy ether
#

behind bird?

sly pivot
#

yea

#

and kill the rest

craggy ether
#

do i throw bodies meanwhile the skill is down

sly pivot
#

with 2 shots of s3

#

yea basically

craggy ether
#

micro intensive

#

imma try

sly pivot
#

i just did it on feels

#

u just try to time it for when the bird wakes back up

#

if u have s3 back when he wakes up u win

narrow pendant

Just degen it-oh wait

narrow pendant
craggy ether
#

two temporary recruitments

#

in f2

merry narwhal
#

these might be my famous last words, but ex-8 doesn't look that bad and the CM condition doesn't really do anything

spark sinew
#

i won't elaborate especially not in response to the violent pinging

merry narwhal
#

when are EX stages again?

spark sinew
#

this sure looks like a setup that should work

craggy ether
#

lava the purgatory temp recruitment

#

am i being blessed

spark sinew
#

so boss won't deactivate the left heater?

#

i still don't know how he picks which one to deactivate

merry narwhal
#

yeah, he'll do the two useless ones which greyy can retake instantly

#

and I'll stall so I don't need the left heater until later

craggy ether
#

he deactivates the most recently activated one

narrow pendant
merry narwhal
#

he goes by proximity

narrow pendant
craggy ether
spark sinew
#

so you're stalling him with aurora?

merry narwhal
#

yes, probably s1 if he hits super hard, but 2 medics + huge hp should work

spark sinew
#

ngl i don't see a reason to not use bison instead here

#

might even cut some ops because he's better for that

#

unless he hits hard enough and aurora is tankier

merry narwhal
#

i didn't build Bison yet because LA TORTUGA is cuter

#

she hits over 2k def, lemme check

glass monolith
merry narwhal
glass monolith
#

Everything clusterfucking on right box don't give me optimism either RedOmegaLul Screw 8 deployment limit

spark sinew
#

8 deploy is a lot though

#

ngl setup looks even easier than non ex because you only have 1 choke

#

and certain ranges like flinger benefit more

and what do you do offskill Bnuuy

undeploy

merry narwhal
#

it's only 20s, so Gravel or Shamare or something idk yet

#

maybe it's not even necessary because I have two medics

spark sinew
#

just flint the left one

#

if the stage has no flint you can still yato2 like a normal person!

sly pivot
#

ex8 is weaker than rs8

merry narwhal
#

you have to have all heaters up once or at the end as you clear it?

sly pivot
#

harold got nerfed for ex8 i heard

merry narwhal
#

he has no ASPD buff on ex8 for some reason

smoky halo
#

wait fr?

glass monolith
sly pivot
#

i mean duh

spark sinew
#

wow

sly pivot
#

but not like the enemies are threatening either

glass monolith
merry narwhal
#

it looks really easy

spark sinew
#

it's probably stat buffs that wipe you

#

as per usual on ex and cms

merry narwhal
spark sinew
#

or you can use a protector!

glass monolith
merry narwhal
#

the boss has 1200 atk on CM

sly pivot
#

all his skills got nerfed

merry narwhal
#

bro, 1200 atk and he hits for 3.5x

#

am I reading this right

sly pivot
#

and i heard theres no killgate

merry narwhal
#

there is

sly pivot
#

so u just stall p1 until the stage is done

glass monolith
spark sinew
#

do you need mod3

#

khant

#

you know the thing i am talking about

merry narwhal
#

ATK and DEF increased by 20% (10% at Level 1) and 500 (100 at Level 1), respectively. At Level 0, Harold's ASPD is also increased by 50.
At Level 0, melee attacks now deals 3× ATK.
he doesn't do 3x on EX8?!!

#

level 0 is so much more terrifying

sly pivot
#

oh there is

spark sinew
#

he is only level0 i thought

sly pivot
#

what

#

mudrock?

#

yea

merry narwhal
#

While blocked, Harold uses melee Physical attacks that deal 2.5× (3.5× at Level 1) his ATK.

#

nvm, there it is

sly pivot
#

also didnt notice killgate cause it was well edited

#

how awesome

spark sinew
#

hmmm
i mean not like mud is gonna get used either way...

merry narwhal
#

so 1200 atk x1.1 x3.5 = 4620

#

is this right?

#

only 6s interval though

sly pivot
#

mudrock perma stalls

#

🫡

spark sinew
#

second mod base seems shittier but at the same time benefits s3 more

#

but wow this shit is worthless as well

sly pivot
#

itll be all enemies

#

think of gladiia

#

broski!!

spark sinew
#

would it still be good

sly pivot
#

30% from all enemies

#

how awesome

spark sinew
#

ig she is fairly fat

merry narwhal
spark sinew
#

4.5k hp

sly pivot
#

8s?

merry narwhal
#

so she takes one hit every 2 swings ig

sly pivot
#

9 seconds

merry narwhal
#

but if you stall in africa she should be fine as long as she's not blocking anyone else

sly pivot
#

but u use s3 to get shields back

#

stalling on top left blue box has no one but harold

merry narwhal
#

or you could use the ancient Mr Nothing tech 🥹

spark sinew
#

how do you prevent the boss from moving

sly pivot
#

harold is really slow

merry narwhal
#

by blocking

sly pivot
#

and if u put bodies for him to whack he just gets slower

spark sinew
#

so he gets shifted again after s3 is done?

merry narwhal
#

his ranged attack is not threatening

sly pivot
#

yea

spark sinew
#

or do you need to block with bodies again

sly pivot
#

not really

#

he does inch ever so closer but u shud be done with the stage

spark sinew
#

ok i'm just asking if it's true solo stall

sly pivot
#

its like mudrock stall for golems

#

in cc4

spark sinew
#

||there was mudrock stall for golems? ||

merry narwhal
#

imagine 4620 damage autos with his 50% attack speed from level 0

sly pivot
#

cause harold and golem has same mvspd

#

🫡

spark sinew
#

the hell

merry narwhal
sly pivot
#

i did mudrock stall

#

🥹

#

just hold like 4 golems

#

it was fun

merry narwhal
#

let me calc the Nothing tech

sly pivot
#

the ling duo uses mudrock

#

🥹

spark sinew
#

wisadel+ castle3 probably duos!

sly pivot
#

huh

#

mudrock s2 can stall too

#

but u need bodies

#

or smth

merry narwhal
#

9.23s attack interval with mr nothing. Hope I didn't mess up

sly pivot
#

i dunno whats happening here

#

abit goofy

merry narwhal
#

symmetry 🥹

sly pivot
#

oh

#

they stall out the snowstorm

#

in p1

#

i see

#

i mean

merry narwhal
#

i refuse to do that

sly pivot
#

obviously

#

yea

merry narwhal
#

that's unity bug abusing

#

auras time out after 999s or something

#

kristen had the same cheese

sly pivot
#

do u even need to stall snowstorm

#

does harold gain atkscale when frozen

smoky halo
#

999s is like uh 15min

sly pivot
#

ig it prevents her from doing s2

#

so yea

smoky halo
#

yikes

sly pivot
#

frozen fucks it up

#

🫡

#

anything for the record

merry narwhal
#

his stats don't at least

#

cliff seems harder than this in terms of stalling tbh

sly pivot
#

road to discovery

#

😢

merry narwhal
#

those are too many words

sly pivot
#

mudrock s2 staller sharing his discovery

merry narwhal
#

a staller

#

one of us

smoky halo
#

looks like a lot of pain behind that wall of text

sly pivot
#

oh

narrow pendant
#

Thats a whole lot of yapping for just "mudrock stalls"

sly pivot
#

he figured out that using a flint to bait a skill lets mud s2 stall

#

thats fucking funny

#

and make harold time himself so that mudrock doesnt die

#

how awesome

#

the rollercoaster of emotions in this is beautiful

merry narwhal
#

use the Nothing tech 🥹

#

zero damage taken

#

9.23s attack interval vs 9s shield CD

#

uptime shouldn't be a problem even without heaters too

#

debuff lasts 5s, how long is freeze?

5s iirc

# teal matrix lt6 abandoned lighthouse tips? is stalling the only way to go?

a 5x sniper typhon on s2 with skalter buff can do all of these stages even on emergency mode but that would cost your support if you don't have typhon and healing is important. you might have some success stacking vanguards or guards on degen S3 but you will end up needing to block the boss a little bit at the end.

teal matrix
#

i keep dying to eggs on last stager

lunar thorn
#

is eyja not healing through it with s1?

surreal star
#

just for general SSS, it’s good to be a bit supporter-heavy for deck building

teal matrix
lunar thorn
#

yeah try out s1, should be a lot nicer especially at m3

surreal star
#

you could also try using gnosis s2 before doing any bursting to freeze the eggs

lunar thorn
#

my eyja can heal through those but if not, you could block the eggs with noir corne for example and slowly kill them

teal matrix
#

ohhh ok ill try that,

lunar thorn
#

sniper buffs on eyja can also get you a little bit more healing as well if you need it and aren't doing that already

Hello again, i just got my skull caved in by Harold 5 times trying diff strats, any tips? with my current ops (i tried borrowing mlynar too but my deployment timings are so off its a lost cause) #strategy message

#

Manage the heaters well tho

halcyon idol
#

Oh yeah i tried Arturia too in the middle but it was a mess, im gonna try with mudrock again

strange hazel
#

is there any merit to the purchase a collectible option in IS

#

seems like it's just an overpriced item that i'd be able to pick up for 60% of the price in a random trader node

tidal sedge
#

Maybe if your skill tree is low and you lack extra starting ingots

vivid rain
#

It’s super cope so i dont bother, the 1 hope for collectible option is good tho since you’ll usually have 1 more hope than you need if your squad can start with a 6 stars by default

lmao I just got 1 hope with extra steps

Is there a way to beat the new event with e1 characters + a support unit?

#

Like is there a 1 character that can carry for the whole team?

civic bear
#

yes

#

theres mlynar solo core. typhon

#

id assume also e1 support

#

which i guess typhon would be best choice

#

wouldnt solo carry tho

sage lake
#

How?

#

Is there like a yt video tutorial for it?

civic bear
#

there bunch on bilibili but the simplest form is basicly to just stall the boss with defender+2healers while keeping everylights up. and then the carry kills.
