@long lotus borrow a Blaze

She can Lanehold top lane

[void axle]

Yep but I need heals 😅

[next wigeon]

Let me just get Map.Arknights

[viscid mist]

👍

[celest bluff]

I think RS-8 auto stable be damn

[narrow pendant]

Dont e2 silence

She doesnt benefit a lot from it, keep at e1 max lvl

[next wigeon]

@long lotus I think this is the layout

Before placing Degen place Myrtle first then retreat after getting Dp

[viscid mist]

my perfumer is e2 so i'm not sure how applicable she can be for healing

on the flipside i never needed to use her skill

[next wigeon]

Who is the op below Lappland can't see due to enemies

[viscid mist]

degenbrecher

[next wigeon]

Ic

[viscid mist]

i just noticed that because i got an e2 perfumer i borrowed an e2 degen instead

:icant:

[next wigeon]

Lmao

[gaunt seal]

https://krooster.com/u/Yujiko
Is there a good strategy that I can do with my current squad for water and fire union?
I used Degenbreacher starter and going for Izumik, but the exploding slugs gave me problems, the bosses were terrifying

[viscid mist]

zzzz why cant we just unlevel the operators for this kind of thing

maybe i can do this without degen

let me check

[deft orbit]

Idk what's happening but there is a stupid variable that ruining my auto even though I already cleared rs8

[glass monolith]

Well it is AK. when it breaks make new one

Amount of reasons something break can go so wild that i gave up trying to figure it out

[vague rock]

Lin S2 has an actual use case

[celest bluff]

Mod?

Hmm maybe that not important

[vague rock]

SL7 mod 1

nightingale is also SL 7

[viscid mist]

what exactly is she doing there

[vague rock]

shield

[glass monolith]

Lin with module and NG res buff tanked all BS i assume

[vague rock]

pretty much

[glass monolith]

Which doesn't explain why everything else is alive

[viscid mist]

eh

wont you need ng skill

this sounds like some bandaid fix

[scarlet mortar]

i mean the squishy ranged ops live bc of lin and the others shrugged it off with NG ig

[glass monolith]

oh i didn't read S2 part

[dusk schooner]

anyone help me with 2-10?

[soft roost]

😈

[polar crane]

post your squad

[polar crane]

brb let me try with your squad

just a bit more

[celest bluff]

I only start using Myrtle after chapter 8

[long lotus]

Worked, ty

[dusk schooner]

you done?

[polar crane]

not yet, I play with lv1 unit

[dusk schooner]

wouldn't you testing it not be accurate since you got higher levelled stuff?

[polar crane]

I want to try lv1 unit so you can easily copy it

but it kinda hard so I build everyone to lv20

last try I promise

[celest bluff]

Arknights definitely can do wonder with a sandbox mode

[glass monolith]

I have video from forever ago with e1 1 units
#strategy message

[dusk schooner]

Ok

[viscid mist]

cant you borrow a kal s2

[dusk schooner]

can you just tell me what units are good for the stage

[dusk schooner]

oh you can set your units to levels

my messages aren't loading bruh

[viscid mist]

i think it would make whole thing easier

[polar crane]

oh yeah right

try borrow kalstit, she will most likely have s1 but you can do it with that

[viscid mist]

if you roll enough you might find kal s2

if you cant be bothered though s1 might be enough

i used ling s2 for this stage but might be a bit complicated to you

[glass monolith]

Issue is friend support downgrades S3 to S1, and like who on Earth has it on S2

[viscid mist]

kal s2 is nnot that uncommon

its a good skill after all

easier than finding a degen s2 for this matter

[glass monolith]

Not impossible but like i hit 15 minute per refresh or something hunting for S3 Ifrit once

[viscid mist]

yeah cause ifrit s3 is bad

😈

[glass monolith]

-60 attack speed in CC7 WAS BAD TOO

God praise Heavyrain S2 was countering that shit, otherwise it would be cringe missing challenge #8 on CC

[next wigeon]

No problem

[void axle]

Any tip to improve this?

[cyan gorge]

where exactly is is going wrong?

[void axle]

I mean positioning or swapping something….

I’m too far from completing , my ops die… maybe eifja and perfumer are not enough?

[cyan gorge]

I mean I can't suggest improvements if I don't even know if it works yet or not

or at the very least know what causes your ops to die

if it's boss nuke, just be careful with bursting him

[void axle]

I can’t kill boss on first loop so the next one he come at top…. And then I need to use degen + mylnar to clear so mylnar blocks him and he insta shot me

[cyan gorge]

iirc he does 4k phys damage against blocked

so yeah ofc Mlynar dies

[void axle]

I completed last 3 or 4 events but I think maybe I should wait till rerun and have better ops this time

[cyan gorge]

I focused on killing Harold with Horn, Mlynar for the other mobs

[void axle]

Where do you place horn? Also with S2?

[cyan gorge]

where your degen is with s3

s2 works too but I preferred s3's ability to cancel without bursting

[void axle]

I will try tomorrow with horn and see if I have more luck this time…. But horn will be blocking a lot instead of shooting

[peak cloak]

i told u not to active the stoves too early, aciddrop on kroos/click position if thing isnt working, i've noted u that, just kill them one by one.
as u dont even have degen s3 so dont screw up yourself by active stoves too early.

[cyan gorge]

I had a medic defender to do most of the blocking

[void axle]

I guess it’s skill problem because wen you see how easy some YouTubers can complete using low level ops 😅

[cyan gorge]

Mlynar face up to avoid doing too much dmg to boss

[void axle]

How many loops do Harold before evolving?

[cyan gorge]

phase 2 was activated on the first go around from right

[void axle]

I don’t think I can kill him in the first go then

[cyan gorge]

I did it easily with Suzu and Horn

[void axle]

My horn just have s1m3…. Also where do you place suzu?

[spark sinew]

what's your borrow

[cyan gorge]

bottom right heater

[spark sinew]

it's eyja isn't it....

[void axle]

Yes…. I only have perfumer and silence as healers

[void axle]

But I find typhon very useful… maybe I should try S3

[peak cloak]

i found an ifrit tile

[radiant dune]

Borrow a warfarin and you can probably one cycle Harold with suzu degen bursting him

I was able to one shot him with a cursed warf degen shamare and thrm ex combo

[latent halo]

[hoary oasis]

wait what’s aciddrop?

[peak cloak]

the name of an operator

[hoary oasis]

i borrow him?

[peak cloak]

send me your ops again

[hoary oasis]

slr

[near folio]

Damn your medic defender survived blocking harold?

[spark sinew]

saria tanks semi consistently

probably tanks forever with shelter

[noble pewter]

Why not put mylnar at degen position face down, n hoshi at mlynar position, just block boss n activate mlynar after he do turn off heater skill n u have turned back on, kill slowly at that position, add more healer if hoshi can't tank, use fast redeploy like ines etc to kill incoming threats like invis sniper, flamethrower n snowball

[spark sinew]

(you probably don't even need shelter but just 2 good medics, mine had ng+eyja, and probably died from the heater turning off)

[near folio]

Actually Mod Y Saria might be able to tank him with full stacks

By tank I mean survive a hit in phase 1 with like 5% hp

[spark sinew]

she tanks phase1 without breaking a sweat

[near folio]

Shelter is calc after defense reduction right?

Saria should be taking around 2975 damage E2 90 mod Y without any stacks

Yeah she actually tanks harold better than Cuora

Phase 1 at least

[spark sinew]

it's basically impossible to have 0 stacks isn't it

[near folio]

Actually she can also tank phase 2 with some stacks

Mod Y for healing defenders is broken

[spark sinew]

i just told told that

[near folio]

I should have thought of that

Would have made my run a lot easier instead of coping Cuora Salter and reedalter

[spark sinew]

hoshi/nian should also be better than cuora

[near folio]

I kinda lost trust in healing defenders ever since Cliff shredded anything that didnt have more than 1500 natural def with some debuff stacks

[spark sinew]

since her downtime is a bit too big afaik?

maybe bubble as well

[near folio]

Nothing beats tanking physical when it comes to them

[near folio]

I think bubble might die to harold offskill

[spark sinew]

i disagree!
Nothing is a shitty tank

[near folio]

Bubble atk debuff lasts 5 seconds, Harold's interval might make it tricky for her to survive

[near folio]

I mean, E2 50 Cuora Mod X level 3 is already getting oneshotted without any external help offskill

These are not normal numbers we are dealing with anymore

[spark sinew]

you're no fun
but it's also weird as if we're talking past each other

[near folio]

Bubble would be better against bosses with faster intervals like steam knight and Zaaro though

Even Cliff

Cliff cant do anything against a bubble

[spark sinew]

cliff was easy to deal with due to him not advancing on tactician pets or dolls

and then you could just use ethan to have basically perma vent uptime

[near folio]

His phase 2 still destroys defenders even in vent with enough debuff stacks

[spark sinew]

so you just use dollkeepers

[near folio]

That's where Bubble's atk debuff lets her last longer than other low rarity defenders

Harold is like the only boss where Cuora actually performs better than Bubble

Which is pretty sad

[spark sinew]

why is that sad

[near folio]

Unless Harold's interval is lower than 5 secs in which case Cuora loses again

[spark sinew]

his is 6seconds

so easiest way is to just mudrock it

[near folio]

Mudrock + mr nothing can permastall harold

[spark sinew]

i mean mud+ling duo clear the stage

in both s2 and s3

idk about using Nothing for that

[tall cairn]

B-but why would you permastall Harold.

[near folio]

Can't stop ling from being ling

[spark sinew]

and he dies regardless during snowstorm

[near folio]

It's funny

[tall cairn]

[narrow pendant]

Best stall is gladia+spalter anyway

Smh

[spark sinew]

spalter kinda dies

[celest bluff]

I swear to god they just increase the chance to drop a tag after the update

[narrow pendant]

She was the one i used for stalling, she survives a hit, combined it with ng and she stalled quite well

And when she was killed, he was slow so by the time she revived, he was still on her tile and that pushed harold back to the front of her tile

And that repeated until harold died

[spark sinew]

huh

did you have anyone else slowing/binding

[celest bluff]

Worth mod 3?

[unkempt lintel]

not rly... mod1 is fine

[weak gazelle]

asking it then the answer is simply no

[narrow pendant]

Arturia if she counts

[narrow pendant]

Oh, also degen tremble rng abuse

[craggy ether]

viable placement? lapp and degen, two those are just defenders

[celest bluff]

Is that 3 Vanguard

[craggy ether]

wat

[celest bluff]

3 F

[craggy ether]

??? 😢

[noble pewter]

I think it's 2 defender

[craggy ether]

yea

[noble pewter]

Def for defender

Should have just drawn a shield symbol like the in game class symbol

[celest bluff]

https://map.ark-nights.com/map/camp_r_13

Just use this

Is your lapp e2

[craggy ether]

yea

[celest bluff]

This is what I used last year

Lapp facing up so she can silence top lane

Last year I must be smoking some heavy shit to use Surtr s2

[craggy ether]

ty

[celest bluff]

I guess what need to do is get 300 dp

Retreat flag

Then use Caster to kill the guy in bottom and top box

[crisp bolt]

the random place where steward shiness

I remember using him to deal with the guy that stands on the top left originum tile because of the talent targetting

[peak cloak]

Amiya pog, what exu is doing right here

[crisp bolt]

dealing with the flying enemies in the bottom lane

that's the kyo strat for it

[glass monolith]

🧀

[crisp bolt]

who needs silence when you have someone to block the spread

also are you using weedy there to push the enemy back into the red box so it doesn't drop nethersea?

can't even remember if any spawn from there

[remote perch]

There is

Pretty sure it's the old dudes

[crisp bolt]

I still find it hilarious that you can abuse the fact enemies can't spawn nethersea on certain tiles to stop them from dropping any

[glass monolith]

Top box spawn normal spread on death dudes. I assume by old you mean bubble dudes? those come from ladder i think. And ladder is one of no spread spawn tiles

[narrow patrol]

Any ideas? Feels like I can’t sustain all 4 heaters without the lighters

[tidal sedge]

Hmm

Typhon can pretty much solo dps the stage if you give her time. I'd have Gummy hold rightmost heater. Put Degen in front of Typhon. Lapp above Degen.

[narrow patrol]

I feel like i lack means to sustain the heaters

[tidal sedge]

Er wait

[narrow patrol]

Lack of ranged
Ops and all

[tidal sedge]

Degen below Typhon

[narrow patrol]

I also need 1 free slot to bait the snowballs

[tidal sedge]

Use any robots you may have for that

[narrow patrol]

Unless you suggest there’s anyone I should replace

I usually use gravel

I’m referring to the Victorian snowball throwers

Not Harold’s global fuck you nume

[tidal sedge]

I know

[narrow patrol]

Thing is robots take too long to redeploy

[somber falcon]

Snowballs aren't really an issue for ground ops

[tidal sedge]

They're probably killing Perf

[narrow patrol]

They kinda are to me

And perfumer

[somber falcon]

Just don't put ranged ops in their cardinal tiles

[vivid rain]

maybe remove cuora from squad? dont know what she really do here

[narrow patrol]

Who’d I replace cuora with?

[vivid rain]

more frd to bait snowball, idk

[tidal sedge]

Hmm

Actually I'd put Perf top

[narrow patrol]

I’m thinking if I should e2 my
Medics for the added bulk too

[tidal sedge]

That way the snowballs would see Mlynar first

[vivid rain]

dont think this stage have much phys damage, and e1 cuora wont be able to tank harold anyway

so most of the threats are really just the art snow balls, the canister guys and harold attacks

[tidal sedge]

Maybe try something like this

If bottom heater goes out, Degen s3 to take it back

Actually, hmm.

[narrow patrol]

That global is suffering

[eager vale]

have you tried a GG s2 borrow? (or if you have her)
her range covers the top and bottom heaters, which will free up archetto's slot for a 3rd healer maybe

[narrow patrol]

Nope no GG

This was with all 4 heaters

[eager vale]

you're still getting blasted even with 4 heaters on?

[tidal sedge]

Harold is probably popping global attack when heaters are on cd after shut off

[hollow pier]

Burst him down after he turns off your heaters (and you are in the process of turning them on)

[tidal sedge]

I think I agree. Consistent dps like Typhon might be a problem. She might be making Harold hit hp thresholds when heaters are down.

You'll have to work around that or use more controlled dps methods

Hmm.

[eager vale]

oh, no wonder you're getting blasted. you're rushing phase2 with uncle lol

[tidal sedge]

I'm just shooting ideas tbh

[eager vale]

oh wait, you're not the guy asking, my b

[tidal sedge]

My own strat was let Typhon work down everything and pop Eyja alter s3 and Nightingale s3 to ignore global attack

[eager vale]

honestly, same. but then i learned harold animation locks, so i had fun bursting him down with Degen (+buffs)

[spark sinew]

oh?

[narrow patrol]

Gravel came in clutch

[eager vale]

nice job

[narrow patrol]

Took a global and as Harold made his way to the end gravel stalled him long enough for degen to murk him

Think I took two Global’s at once

That was painful

[glass monolith]

Now do it 2 more time, on EX-8 and EX-8 CM

[narrow patrol]

Nope

I’m not that insane

[glass monolith]

And don't forget to light all 5 ovens in EX-8 for medal

[narrow patrol]

Crying harder

Maybe in rerun

[soft roost]

How did ya kill him in going crazy

[narrow pendant]

By depleting his hp to 0 twice

[soft roost]

😓

[hard willow]

I'm looking for some help on RS-8

I managed to get Harold hp bar 1 down at 20/28 enemies remaining burning everything, but then his phase change explosion messed up my melee backline

Should I be trying to break his first phase bar without clustering my units?

The problem is that I mostly got through the period before he approached by running a defensive perimeter around Silverash and burning truesilver. I'm not sure Monster and Mudrock could hold the sides without his normal DPS even aside from truesilver.

[somber falcon]

Why wouldn't monster and mud be able to hold lanes? E1?

[hard willow]

Mud E2, Monster E1

[somber falcon]

What are your other ops?

[somber falcon]

Ok i can see the problem
You'll also be hard pressed to tank his p2

Maybe try mud s3 to slow him down a bit on p1?

Also bring another medic if you can

[hard willow]

Don't really have anything good in my barracks for that

[eager vale]

How far are you from e2 mlynar? That probably will make it a lot easier for you. Also, i agree with bringing more medics. At least 2 (kal dont count xd)

[hard willow]

The problem is the chips

I've got the rest

Oh wait I have enough supporter chips to trade in, yeah I'll E2 him real quick

[eager vale]

nonono

maybe check IS for chips? dont monthly squads give beeg chips?

[hard willow]

It's too late, the deed is done

[eager vale]

[hard willow]

I don't really have much levelled for medics

And the Mlynar E2 did drain basically all my funds to level one up

[glass monolith]

Kal is "medic"

[eager vale]

you can probably just cope with kal then, just dont deploy monsta

[hard willow]

So should I run one of the less levelled ones or just go in with 1.5 medics?

[spice mortar]

Unfortunate ng shits on this boss

Her s2 can last 3 nukes for me

[eager vale]

i guess go with the latter first, just keep the heaters in check

[hard willow]

At this point my brain is fried on these

What support unit would be best for me to take so I can win and see the story?

[soft roost]

Idk i saw a lot of people use ptilopsis she's good

[spice mortar]

Why would he lvl ptilo if he has ng

[soft roost]

If he has who

[eager vale]

nightingale (ng)

[soft roost]

She's slow asf

[eager vale]

try golden glow s2/s3? she can keep heaters in check for you

[soft roost]

The only good thing ab her is the little thing she got to summon to be a sacrifice and her halloween OUTIFT

[eager vale]

although your original set up felt kinda sus since you're letting the canister guys in

[glass monolith]

Do you like pressing buttons 23% earlier? I do

[pallid veldt]

NG doesnt replace ptilos usage at all

But fwiw he shouldnt be leveling ptilo anytime soon so it doesnt really matter

The main thing with this boss is you want to keep the heaters on obviously

[hard willow]

At this point the big problem with my setup is that when P2 hits I can hold the line for a good while but the big burst move kills 7 units in one go even if I scatter them

[pallid veldt]

So keep ops in each heater zone that can shoot other heaters

[eager vale]

scattering them wont help much, the main mechanic is the heaters

[pallid veldt]

The more heaters that are unlit, the more dmg big burst moves

U need to keep like 4-5 heaters on when he does burst move

[eager vale]

for every heater you have turned off, you eat 1 more snowball nuke from the boss when it hits a threshold (75, 50, 25% hp)

and that's on top of the stats he gains (i think?)

or DR specifically

[hard willow]

So yeah, Goldenglow is probably a good choice then

Anything that lets me manage left side heaters

[pallid veldt]

Its probably not necessary to keep left heater on with ur team

[eager vale]

move your set up forward on the top side so jet canisters dont nuke 2 of your heaters

[pallid veldt]

But if u really want to its not a bad idea

What setup r u doing rn

[eager vale]

they sent an image previously here ^, i'm just assuming they're still running the same set up

[pallid veldt]

Yeah move ur setup to the left

Like 2-3 tiles to the left

[hard willow]

Yeah I shifted that let me show my setup

[narrow pendant]

No, the good thong about her is giving everyone almost 50% arts dmg resist
And harolds nuke and ranged atks are arts
So

Her summons are awesome tho

[hard willow]

(I levelled Harold since he seemed neat)

[pallid veldt]

Is kal facing down

[hard willow]

Yeah

[pallid veldt]

What is SA doing

Blocking for bottom lane?

Wait MR is mud right

[hard willow]

Honestly it's a bit awkward since I need someone to keep heater on and if I don't make it SA I do bleed Mud side in P1

But yeah

[pallid veldt]

Where is mlynar going

Mlynar and mud should be fine for bottom lane

Throw a VG on that rightmost tile and keep them there

There are better uses for SA

[hard willow]

If I keep a vanguard in final comp that would mean removing NG since I currently use Gladia to tank snowballs

(She gets two shot by them which is more than most of my other disposable units)

[pallid veldt]

You shouldnt need to tank 2 snowballs

Is what we’re saying

Base nuke from boss is 1 snowball

Every unlit heater = another snowball

We’re moving ur comp to the left in order to keep more heaters on

Id even put like a ranged unit above kal to be able to hit middle heater from top

[hard willow]

No I mean the snowball units not Harold

[pallid veldt]

Oh

Bait snowballs with FRD

you have more deployment limit

[hard willow]

FRD?

[pallid veldt]

Fast redeploy

Gravel red

[hard willow]

That's fair, I've got Red kinda levelled

[eager vale]

doesnt really have to be levelled. they're just gonna be deployed to die for the snowballs from the bottom lane

[hard willow]

Well they have to be able to tank at least one

That's the reason I like Gladia for it

[pallid veldt]

I dont think they do

But it doesnt matter

[eager vale]

nah, you deploy in the middle of the 2 guys, they throw at the same time

[pallid veldt]

Point is use red

Yeah they dont have to land to count

Use red s1 btw

[halcyon adder]

Bisa

[pallid veldt]

Bapa

[fading wagon]

guys any help on how do i clear rs-ex-8, ik it's a skill issue on my part but here are my units

https://krooster.com/u/JOAQIM20

[delicate flare]

how do I clear 10-11 with this squad? can't really borrow anyone since i need to auto it for blue rocks

the bottom lane has been my main issue so far

[viscid mist]

try something like this

block the chain casters so they get killed by virtuosa

[delicate flare]

thanks!

[viscid mist]

you can use surtr once saria dies

if you kill them theres no ranged pressure to virtuosa

[delicate flare]

but i was able to just surtr it in the end

[viscid mist]

[delicate flare]

luckiest clear ever

[viscid mist]

surtr and virtuosa solve this stage mainly

[delicate flare]

can you help me with 10-12 though

i need grindstones for cuora e2

[viscid mist]

you don't have mudrock right

or penance

[delicate flare]

I couldn't surtr that stage

[delicate flare]

yes

i've heard saria w/ module can handle the artillery but I'm too broke to figure that out

[viscid mist]

🤔

makes sense

[viscid mist]

virtuosa body switching seems to work flawlessly

she will kill all the slugs just by existing thanks to talent

when it gets overwhelming you press s3

[delicate flare]

o

im gonna give this a try

thanks!

probably just gonna bring a ton other random fodder defenders

[viscid mist]

yeah, keeping things in place will work well

just be careful that they don't get hit by artilery

[delicate flare]

ok wtf that worked extremely well

now i feel dumb for spending 1 hour at it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/994270450047791224.png?quality=lossless&size=48

thanks man

mfw everything just dies

[viscid mist]

🫡

[glass monolith]

Only 1 hour? My plank for feeling dump in this game is much higher

[ripe trellis]

the rough idea is simple for rosters that lack goldenglow. you basically want to keep the heaters lit during the wind up of his invincibility attack. the rest of him is pretty easy...
or just borrow goldenglow

[fading wagon]

yeah i didn't borrow golden glow but after like 30 tries or so i somehow manged to clear it with mlynar

[ripe trellis]

30 tries? congrats on the clear though

[fading wagon]

yeah lol

[ripe trellis]

i dont think i've ever gone into the double digits on any event stages (except farming)

[fading wagon]

so i'm finally done with the event got all badges

[urban temple]

Im stuck on 4-10, any suggestions?

[radiant dune]

Idk how useful it’ll be but yato alter s2 does annihilate that boss, might take a few more cycles at e1 though

[misty heath]

hello rs-ex-8 is driving me crazy help

my tank selection for stalling is uhh, uhhhhhhh

I don't really know if there's anyone that can really survive him

[radiant dune]

Depends on ur roster but it’s entirely possible to not ever need to block harold

[misty heath]

is there a tool that lets me automatically share my roster? sending screenshots doesn't feel optimal lol

dont want to spam

[radiant dune]

Aside from Krooster not that I’m aware of

Ngl I’ve only tried two ways of beating harold which focused either on mlynar or degen, ya got either of them? I’m not the best at strats but I can try to help anyways til someone smarter comes around

[misty heath]

I do have maxed Młynar but so far

i just murder first stage > get murdered

[radiant dune]

Each Mylar ability can take out half of his health, so the strat I used for mlynar was stall him in range by spamming frds, then once his skill runs out let harold through and recharge it

Blocking harold is generally just a lot more effort than it’s worth because 4k damage hurts, main focus should be on keeping lighters lit

[misty heath]

frds?

yeah his dmg is doing a lot..

[radiant dune]

Gravel, red, waii fu, etc

[misty heath]

oh from them I only have gravel semi raised

well, yato too xd

alter i mean

[radiant dune]

They don’t gotta be high level, just to tank his melee and push him back a bit while he’s inside mlynar schwing range

Being uninvested makes em even better cuz they’ll be cheaper, they’ll die in one shot no matter what, they’re just used as fodder

[misty heath]

hm, I'm trying to make a team but tbh

he's just gonna nuke everything and I leak

if I try to do that :x

[radiant dune]

I don’t got mlynar so ngl I don’t have the best idea of what you can fix without a carbon copy of my build, but the method I found worked the best for me was killing him through his invulnerability when he uses his heater turnoff ability, there’s def some guides online that are better than my strat but I used this team, just turbo buffing degen and she can one cycle harold if she has warf buff and fragile on Harold

A lot less complicated of a strategy if u just use like suzuran instead of shamare and thrm, I ended up needing one yato s3 before each burst just to guarantee he dies because my fragile was too weak

[misty heath]

okay i know this will sound stupid but

"kill him when you can't kill him" is what im hearing

XD

[radiant dune]

Yeah it sounds kinda dumb but when he is in the animation where he goes to turn off heaters he actually doesn’t have the invulnerable phase every 25% health

It’s weird as hell but u can use it to just avoid his phase 2 if you have the damage

[misty heath]

well I'm not exactly sure how but i did it

challenge mode seems out of the question

the "i want to stall you as much as I can until Młynar recharges" team I guess

yes I do have typhon mlynar yato and massive skill issue

[radiant dune]

If you do wanna try challenge mode you can basically just do this to Harold but instead of the cursed shamare thrm yato cycle just use Suzu s3 and it’ll kill him (recording is normal but works for challenge mode, never even used a flint)

Actually if you don’t have warfarin scratch that

[misty heath]

I do but she's not raised :x

welll well well

fuck snow :<

[narrow patrol]

Now that I think about it I never employed defenders much during the Harold stage

By virtue of his absurd stats

That’s the regular boss fight not the challenge one

[narrow patrol]

Wait

You deadass saying as he transitions into p2 you can actually HURT HIM STILL!?

[eager vale]

No

[radiant dune]

Nah like, look at the vid I sent, no invincibility or snowball attack if you kill him in a specific animation in phase 2

[eager vale]

When he casts his snowballs to turn off your heaters, he animation locks and cannot activate his threshold invulns in phase2

[fiery marsh]

You dont want to stall him

Like the only stall that i sawn until now was with a skadi buffed and healed with gladia, skalter s2 and eyja alt s1

[noble pewter]

I stalled with a hoshi shamare 2 healer maybe could put stainless turret for even better

[fiery marsh]

Meh of you had one more strong dps i guess you could do what i did

[radiant dune]

you can stall him with just executors and it's pretty good with mlynar

[narrow patrol]

Now that I think of it I don’t think actually stalled harlold. Ever

[misty heath]

Does qiubai count?

[fiery marsh]

You can but isnt the supposed solution

[misty heath]

In normal stages I just made sure I can cover all of the heaters and lots of heals but it doesn't work for me with ex

[radiant dune]

there aren't really any correct solutions so I'd say its just as viable

[fiery marsh]

Didnt say its wrong tho, just that it isnt the optimal one

[radiant dune]

well optimal is also a pretty vague term, theres definitely more than one standard clear

having an "intended solution" is basically against arknights level design philosophy unless theres an exploit ignoring a map feature

[fiery marsh]

In my concept takes the boss design: I say harold isnt supposed to be stalled because he counters stall with a high meele atk

[fiery marsh]

They do it a lot tho

Even frostnova winter's scar

You arent supposed to block her, because she can just retreat your op

Ssme with emperors blade

[radiant dune]

if he wasn't supposed to be stalled I'd say they'd make him unblockable, if they didn't think you should be able to find a solution with stalling just making him deal more damage than usual would be bad design

[fiery marsh]

Again, you are able, but isnt the optimal choice. Imo at least, by the arguments that i said

[radiant dune]

well yeah there are easier ways but there isn't such thing as an optimal solution though in 99% of cases

[fiery marsh]

Just to add: and i say it isnt optimal because it demands more "manpower" to be made. Like to stall harold you would need at least 3 ops, one strong blocker and 2 strong healers. If you choose to set up and cycle bursts 2 strong dps do most of the job plus one like yato alter that is doing multiple things in the same map

[radiant dune]

i mean yeah but also for some people they wont have those 2 strong dps for example, having a strong blocker is a pretty easy thing to fulfil

[fiery marsh]

And if one of the dps is mylnar, with his big range he is too covering more of the map than just harold

[fiery marsh]

Isnt like ex8 events are made thinking on new players, if wasnt for guides like kyo's we wouldnt see any significant amount of new players getting there

[fiery marsh]

And isnt like a new player can afford borrowing for stalling when he dont have enough dps to clear the map, remains better looking for a burst option because of the "manpower" that i said

[radiant dune]

i mean thats like saying stalling carts in cc was suboptimal, they dealt a shit ton of damage, enough to kill basically anything other than hoshi, but still got stalled and helped in 620 clears

whatever people use to clear doesn't really matter, theres no such thing as a wrong solution

you can say something is easier than other things for sure, I'd argue that my strat for this event's final stage was pretty easy, but other people won't be able to run it just like I wasn't able to run mlynar, they both worked out just the same

its like saying low rarity operator clears are suboptimal because you could just use higher rarities, yeah it'll make it easier, but for some people they have limited rosters and that clear is something feasible for them that otherwise wouldn't be

[fiery marsh]

Low rarity clears are suboptimal. The concept of optimal is the easiest/more efficient way of doing something. People do low rariry clears because it is their only option or they like the challange.

[fiery marsh]

Ah sorry just read it. Maybe? The way you are doing you can cover the bottom right heater?

[steep coral]

Fak how i can kill this boss he so stronger

Any strat still failed

[noble pewter]

Why honey berry when u can use any other better healer

[steep coral]

I dont have alter eyjaf

[steep coral]

What healer should i bring

My ptil still e1 lvl 70

[fiery marsh]

Nightgale + perfurmer worked for me

[steep coral]

E2?

[fiery marsh]

Yes

[steep coral]

No wonder meh

[fiery marsh]

But the top lane was blocked by saria s1 out of range of the medics

[steep coral]

My thorn die near torche

[radiant dune]

im ngl the mlynar stall with executors, as much as you might wanna say is suboptimal, will work here

[steep coral]

I dont have executor

[radiant dune]

no like executors, gravels, red, etc

[fiery marsh]

I think executors is the class

[steep coral]

Also i dont have goldenglow that dog

[radiant dune]

you dont need gg for the stall strat

[steep coral]

Hmm i have but

Yato alter will be best option

For torch fuel

[radiant dune]

basically you just keep harold in range of mlynar while he is on skill by pushing him back with the fast redploys then let him through once it's over so he doesn't block harold, then repeat once he comes back

[steep coral]

He phase 2 really hurt

Hoshiguma no longed can hold

[radiant dune]

it does, basically need to keep every furnace on which sucks, but you shouldn't need to actually block harold with hoshi

placing her on the top furnace should be fine

[steep coral]

Give me strat map using arknight simulator

[noble pewter]

Do u have stainless turret or shamare?

[steep coral]

Stainless e1

[radiant dune]

ngl ive never done that, idek where i can

[steep coral]

Shamare dont have

[tidal sedge]

how can i do rs ex 8 cm

[noble pewter]

What's ur roster again?

[radiant dune]

main idea for this is literally just once harold is in that d9 tile, click mlynar ability, spam frd into it to stall him, then once mlynar skill is over let him through

[noble pewter]

Weird how come I don't see nightingale here or am I blind n u have her in ur run with mlynar @.@

[steep coral]

Old photo

I have degenbrench+ng that only

[steep coral]

Borrow....

[noble pewter]

N also a silence e2 @.@

[steep coral]

Fak puresteam

[radiant dune]

idk if you have a therapist op but I just used her cuz she could heal mlynar and survive harold's attack, idk if honeyberry will work there but I assumed you would have had her for base :/

you might be able to get away with something else there but harold will target whatver you put there so it's gotta be tanky enough to survive him or be able to heal up enough

[steep coral]

Whisperain?

[steep coral]

That still new

[radiant dune]

that might work? not sure tbh because purestream s1 was really useful for the burst but if you already have whisperain built might as well give it a shot

[steep coral]

Your strat

After phase 2

[radiant dune]

Oh yeah you gotta kill his first phase like, as he spawns, phase 2 dps phase should be starting the first time he comes up those stairs :/

[steep coral]

Im really doomed up

Cant beat on mode challenge

Im spent 3 ori prime for this stage

[eager vale]

[spark sinew]

why

[tall cairn]

[eager vale]

Pls don't force it if you really can't right now. Just wait for the eventual rerun if you really care about the medal/completion

[tidal sedge]

guys

[smoky halo]

cant u just copy guide

[tidal sedge]

u know...

i use the stall strat

myrtle still stalling

but

they still going

i can do nothing

nm work norrmal

cm work abnormal

[smoky halo]

i think u need to kill the boss phase 1

before the last phase 1 enemy spawns

[tidal sedge]

of course

i did

ugh i hate the stage

[vocal leaf]

i did it, maleknights clear in cm

i could’ve keep thorns alive but i activated gnosis skill too late and he died

[vernal lion]

saria tanking harold is kinda nut lol

[glass monolith]

DR stacking

[craggy ether]

what operator is good for MN-EX-5 texalter helps out a lot but not enough

[somber falcon]

just take the gramophones

[craggy ether]

i did, but i get clapped on the last few guys

[somber falcon]

you have degen

[craggy ether]

ill take mlynar and see whether i cook

[somber falcon]

she claps on them

[craggy ether]

their whole purpose is that they have more lives D:

[somber stone]

Why you doing mn tho

[craggy ether]

op

[somber stone]

Real

[noble pewter]

What if ling then dragon s3

[craggy ether]

arent those guys very immune to arts? but ill try that yea

[somber falcon]

go stun them then with the claymore
it lasts for like 30s iirc

[noble pewter]

Tanky n expendable bodies base atk phy, s3 give arts dot n more atk def stats, combine 2 into 1 for more def stat but become arts dmg

[craggy ether]

mlynar cleared them lol

[peak cloak]

@hoary oasis still trying rs 7 e1 only?

[hoary oasis]

not anymore

too hard

i need to get click to e2 so i get e2 supports

[spark sinew]

e0 clear is 6 ops

what are you struggling with

[hoary oasis]

rs-7

[spark sinew]

yeah i meant what part exactly

• the strat/operators would help, if you care to link to the message/repost

[peak cloak]

mobs rush -> does not have enough dmg to clear waves, end up losing.

@hoary oasis btw, yesterday i pinged u with a message in #help , did u read that?

[hoary oasis]

yea got mob rushed and my degen and spot + 2 back to back healers couldnt keep up

[spark sinew]

does reed2 cycle

i would cut useless pioneer for a gravel

[peak cloak]

is that a question or a statement?

[spark sinew]

question

since i started with a verb

[peak cloak]

reed alter e1 does not work as i did try that yesterday

[hoary oasis]

im kinda confused on when to put click, krooster, and plat

[spark sinew]

e1 record has her, but it also uses other ops

i figured the cycle should be good enough

cause i know e2 degen cycles almost perfectly, and she's what, 34 downtime

[peak cloak]

this person does not own anyone at e2, even degen

[spark sinew]

it was a cycle comparison

[peak cloak]

that's why rs 7 is so hard for him and i malded 60 practices plans in 2 days but still didnt make it and i burned holy fcking 300k lmd and 400-500 exp books

same situation, e1

[glass monolith]

Frostthrowers are ASS

[peak cloak]

i evem wrote strat to my word file but the dmg is not enough to finish

the best try i made was with Kaltsit

finished stages but leak 2

that's when i tried very hard to optimize deployment timing and skill activation timming to not only Kaltsit but a whole team.

i think that Kal strat would work for him because i tried with a 3* squad with the only exceptions are purestream and kaltsit herself

basically worse than his current squad

another kinda success run was with Yato alter

but heavy leaking at the end, like 4-5 leaks

wait hmm,

why i did not try our balans

[eager vale]

im ngl, at e1, their current set up focuses too much on ST dps

[peak cloak]

yes, same thoughts

[eager vale]

only lava + degen dealing aoe. lava isnt even getting deployed

if those snipers were lava + maybe pudding, better chances

[peak cloak]

i'd add pinecorn with at least e1 and s1 too

[eager vale]

[peak cloak]

pudding is doing very well here i agree

rs 7 at least

looks, like u wrote

this stage require aoe or very strong st dmg dealers. which rah does not have at least

my normal rs 7 auto farm

[narrow pendant]

Sand

[drowsy jewel]

my brother in christ can you ss atleast

[peak cloak]

no

[drowsy jewel]

interesting answer niko

[peak cloak]

i know right.

i'm too lazy to open discord on pc

[somber falcon]

that's a nice horizontal lane
would be cool if there's an op that could utilize that

[hoary oasis]

sorry

[narrow pendant]

Right, if only there was such an op that had a line as their atk range

[drowsy jewel]

[hoary oasis]

wait yk wut? thats a good idea

how about deploying lava instead of plat and kroos

will it work?

[peak cloak]

i did not try so idk

[peak cloak]

why sorry though, u do nothing wrong here

as those 60 practices plans were free

[narrow pendant]

I love this convo on how can we help this guy beat rs7 so he can auto
While im actively autoing the stage with 2 ops
I love
The biggest issue is the beast for him ig?

Since they are quite strong

[peak cloak]

i'd spend other 30 today for chen strat

[hoary oasis]

I mean, I feel like I made you go through the time and effort that yielded close to nothing?

[peak cloak]

chen alter e1 s2

[peak cloak]

finished stage but leak 2

Kaltsit carry

but i dont think u can copy 100% this strat as it's hard as fck in text, probably with video but i dont think we have much time left

probably u wait a bit for chen alter strat, i'm spending 800 sanities and this is almost over

[peak cloak]

u mean the chokepoint near by bluebox?

degen s3

just need a tank guard behind and a medic

i'd want to try Chongyue too

[somber falcon]

uh huh
surely they only need to press their degen's s3

ezpz

[narrow pendant]

Id say the line to the left of top right red box instead

[vernal lion]

he deals only 33% dmg

[whole jolt]

can anyone tell me how can i clear rx ex 8 cm? is it possible for me to burst down the boss?

[narrow pendant]

With roster like that u can do it easily

[whole jolt]

i have skill issue ._.

nvm imma just follow kyo and borrow mlynar

[spark sinew]

bursting is a bad idea

[glass monolith]

I bet in 15 minutes he will say Kyo didn't work

[spark sinew]

also module that executor in the future, he's basically a different unit

[peak cloak]

😂 real

[foggy lodge]

Irene and Degen without mod is a crime

[safe dawn]

Is this doable?

[fading wagon]

@drowsy jewel don't wanna get bonked talking about this in the help chat but it was so close lmao maybe my timming needs to be a bit early in activating degen's skill

[drowsy jewel]

it could also be a mod problem, am pretty sure I got mod on

[fading wagon]

i don't think you have lol

[drowsy jewel]

if you can do mod on your degen too it should work

[drowsy jewel]

Refresh ya

I just put it on

[fading wagon]

oh ya i see it

[gray stone]

[fading wagon]

@drowsy jewel yo managed to nuke the boss

[peak cloak]

@hoary oasis chen alter strat works perfectly

hold on, lets me record a video

[drowsy jewel]

actually insane tho

Didn't think degen was able to do it but was actually true

[fading wagon]

he didn't even get to use his nuke skill lmaoo

[vernal lion]

this btw
https://youtu.be/RcSUNicV0wg

[fading wagon]

yeah i pretty much did that

but on normal rs

i don't have suzurn or other boosters

[weak gazelle]

seeing that video is what my idea to clear it
abusing degen is fun :ya:

[hoary oasis]

Is platinum really not good? I’ve been using her for quite awhile with her s2 and she seems fine on drawn out fights

[vivid rain]

1. She is outclasses
2. Marksman as a whole is a dead archetype

[civic bear]

she's just fine its typical 5* marksman pwoerlevel

[weak gazelle]

~50 sec to activate s2
something that you need to consider whenever you want to bring her into battle

5* marksman was easy to list it based on usage
krooster > april > the rest of others 5* marksman

[civic bear]

sorry bro but april is a fraudster

[weak gazelle]

i can understand that statement

lot of the players doesnt bother get her to p5
which is important for her

[peak cloak]

@hoary oasis https://youtu.be/wHd0T2gu_3k?feature=shared

[delicate flare]

I need help with timing in this setup ._. When do I use the flint for the left side and activate mlynar's skill? Can't seems to get it down and Harold just deactivate two pillars and nuke my ass out of existence

Arturia is S3 SL7 and Surtr is S3M3

[tall sierra]

Wow dat harold can one hit kill ground ops when blocked

If u have Nightingale, she will really save u from getting hit by multiple nuke

Otherwise u have to light up as many furnace as u can

B4 he trigger another nuke

[delicate flare]

i don't

[delicate flare]

yeah that's my problem

I dunno when to time mlynar and the left flint side

Tried all sort of stuff and gets nuked

[fading wagon]

i'm not an expert with high end stuff like this, but if possible keep a sniper in besides your healer to activate the bottom right heater, and once harold phase 2 walks through the stairs light up the left heater and place a ranged unit there to keep it activated (that will be lit up forever since harold won't be able to extinguish that anymore)

[tall sierra]

Harold cant be blocked his dmg is so huge that he will one hit kill most ground ops xD
Need someone that wont die... like spalter to stall him

[fading wagon]

i personally used gravel and yato to keep him at bay while mlynar charges

[delicate flare]

is e1 max perfumer s1 and sus s2 enough healing wise?

[peak cloak]

u are basically done after that moment, lost 3 stoves

[delicate flare]

I need to remove gavi if I want to add in cheeto or kroos for the other pillar

[delicate flare]

joever

[tall sierra]

There someone cleared with ur comp

[peak cloak]

why dont u lead him to a better place and dmg control your ops

[delicate flare]

not sure what that means honestly

[peak cloak]

read the boss abilities and u will get what i wrote

[delicate flare]

yeah i don't get it

what do you mean by damage control

gravel spam?

[fading wagon]

considering how you have mountain and and saria at the front, which already have gret tanking capabilties on their own, i think you can live if you changed perfumer with a sniper

[delicate flare]

ic

[fading wagon]

so the boss does a nuker everytime he loses 25% hp, the more heaters deactivated during his ultimate the bombs he does

so all heater activated, he does 1 bomb, if 3 heaters activted then he does 2 bombs

[tall sierra]

2 bomb is enough to kill u anyway

[fading wagon]

yeah

[delicate flare]

yeah I can't really manage the timing for all 4 heaters i'll try using kroos to activate the bottom one

hopefully gavi and sus is enough

[fading wagon]

if you have golden glow you should be able to activate them all ngl

[delicate flare]

I started playing a month ago 😭

[tall sierra]

GG basically cover 3 furnace with her s2

[fading wagon]

I started 5 months ago and you have better units than me man 🤣

you can clear it with your units

[delicate flare]

yeah just struggling with the timing

or uhh

skill issue

[fading wagon]

btw no point using sutrt here since mlynar is enough

[tall sierra]

I think archetto is useless there... she mostly used when there swarm of soft target

[peak cloak]

and u know what

using Mlynar, Virtuosa and Surtr strat

need

[delicate flare]

yeah I didn't really adjust my comp for this

[peak cloak]

Nightingale

[delicate flare]

maybe ill replace her with red or gravel

[tall sierra]

He doesnt have her

[delicate flare]

3 healers

[fading wagon]

he is borrowing mlynaar so he can't borrow ng

[tall sierra]

Without nightingale it impossible to tank multiple nuke

[peak cloak]

yep

[tall sierra]

Harold will douse random furnace every 4 atk iirc

[fading wagon]

not random but the closest

he picks the closest 2

well i didn't have good units for this event so i ended up watching kyostin after failing for 2 days straight lmao

[peak cloak]

i'd suggest u picking another easier strat or watch this mlynar virtuosa and surtr strat again carefully and pay more attention to timing.

[tidal sedge]

is this 8 stage very hard

not EX just normal

[peak cloak]

https://youtu.be/MK4wGeikYiU?feature=shared @delicate flare

[narrow pendant]

No, arguably this rs-ex8 is easier than normal rs8

[tidal sedge]

oh weird

[peak cloak]

i found both easy, just need to understand the boss mechanic and stoves timing

[sly drift]

Elaborate

[narrow pendant]

Something something RS-EX8 harold was nerfed while RS-8 harold was not

[sly drift]

Never heard something get nerfed on ex instead of buffed

Make no sense

[glass monolith]

Ex-8 phase 2 buff is weaker than rs-8

So he hurts about same instead hurting as average boss on EX

[sly drift]

HG need to explain

[glass monolith]

They probably did but we couldn't read

[sly drift]

Wher

[peak cloak]

@hoary oasis #strategy message
i did the wet chen strat, try out and lets me know if there are any questions. as i'm going to busy next 2-3h

balans carried

[tall sierra]

The only noticeable is that if u try to block harold in ex8, he will literally almost kill any ground ops

Unlike rs8 where can survive a few hit i think

[umbral quarry]

idk what im doing wrong. the 2nd wave of shieldbearers always comes early even tho im leaving the robots alive.

[tidal sedge]

ughhh this 8 stage fucking sucks

they really just made talulah but even more tedious and dogshit

[fading wagon]

you mean for rs-ex-8?

if you have screen recording or something it be easier to see em

[smoky halo]

in my experience i need to kill phase 1 boss before the last phase 1 enemy spawns

coz if not then the phase 2 enemy spawns

[delicate flare]

aaAAAaaaAA

i'm finally done

😭

time to do it again in cm mode

fml

[turbid badge]

m3 shamare was so worth, franka works too but skadi + glaadia is less button clicking :p

~ franka kills faster too but than again she loses all defense

skadi rock wins again!

[celest bluff]

I would like to gambling in the face of 3 upcoming limited banner

[craggy ether]

do not gamble

[vocal leaf]

for you that banner is basically standard banner

[celest bluff]

Yeah but at least I won't be spook by another Saga or Siege

[narrow pendant]

Get spooked by cerne or eune instead

[tidal sedge]

or worse, thorns or flametail

[spark sinew]

i mean, that pool is atrocious

you literally have 2 good units there

one of which will rerun fsirly soon

any standard banner with mlynar (or upcoming? JOs) will be better

[atomic mural]

Guys how do I deal with the metal bot thingies in RS-3

they hard af to kill

and then they keep leaking and I die

[vivid rain]

Throw blockers at them

They have virtually no damage

Just kill them gradually

[atomic mural]

Is liskarm good enough for that then

[delicate flare]

my e2 40 cuora was able to stall several them for a good 15 minutes while I fuck harold up in rs ex 8 cm

[vivid rain]

I used friston 3 and noir corn

[delicate flare]

yeah i think noir cone can do it as well

no damage

[vivid rain]

Just kidding i used neither of them, they are just HP sacks so aoe damage obliterate them

[delicate flare]

just have a healer watch over your defender

should be good

[vivid rain]

Or use spot lmfao

[delicate flare]

real

Or spend 1 dp more for gummy

[delicate flare]

do you have any source of arts damage?

my castermiya do pretty well against them

[vivid rain]

Those mf have no def and no res, just HP

[delicate flare]

lmao

[narrow patrol]

Those toaster bots only have speed goin for em

And that’s gone too if they’re in a furnace lit area

[atomic mural]

Ummm I don’t think so but I have amiya maxed out

[atomic mural]

why

[atomic mural]

Okay the problem now is this
I somehow can’t get the furnace started even when I place ops next to them

[plush coyote]

how to beat 7-9?

dogs kill any of my vanguards before anything else can be done

[vivid rain]

Use noir corne

or any cheap defender

[plush coyote]

well he costs 12 which is kind of a lot with the super constrained budget

[narrow patrol]

I meant the robot’s movement speed. They slow down significantly in areas highlighted by a furnace

[plush coyote]

guards can handle the dogs but then there's no dp to cover the left side

[narrow patrol]

Hmmm. Furnaces can only be turned on by ops who are inside an activated furnace’s range. Or use a flint if the level provides you (though the usages are limited)

[remote perch]

or kirin
units outside of furnace can still activate it
just very hard

[narrow patrol]

Sometimes a level will have no furnaces on from the get go. You’ll need to use a flint

[vivid rain]

Hmm let me see

[smoky halo]

exu s3 can light up furnance

from cold spot

or reed s2 with 2 bodies

[somber falcon]

What ops do you have?

[narrow patrol]

What ops do you have? @atomic mural

[peak cloak]

so he just skipped tutorial for stove mechanic, how sad it is.
and once again, pls do tutorial stages carefully.

[remote perch]

the usual EN players

[peak cloak]

place them around stoves ≠ keep stoves working.
for each stove, there will always be a fixed place and it does look different than normal tiles

[plush coyote]

kafka, la pluma, poncirus, saileach, archetto

all the 3 stars maxed out as well

[narrow patrol]

You want a ranged op facing down from the left of the topmost stove

Like how archetto is positioned. She can light the other two up easily

[smoky halo]

nice flex

[peak cloak]

yea

[vivid rain]

Mf saw ines and said nice flex immediately

[smoky halo]

yes

idk if they wanted to guide someone they wouldve used fang and kroos

since its easily copyable

watch as the other person will say i dont have ines and archetto

🥱

[narrow patrol]

I guess pincers can be positioned where Ines is? Since
The guys coming from the top spawn aren’t really much trouble

Kroos and fang/pnicrus work well enough I guess

[peak cloak]

u already know why

[narrow patrol]

To be fair I did t know what ops
They had til after that test run

[smoky halo]

im sure they have fang and kroos

[narrow patrol]

Seriously though there’s a tutorial on this. How far along are your ops even

[delicate flare]

when in doubt, borrow ling

[narrow patrol]

Tyou have a ponicrus and Fang you’ll be fine

[potent prism]

can anyone give me a team that can help clear most in game content and/or tell me what units i should work on aswell just in case? i took a few month break and im kind of lost in what to do!,

[charred raptor]

Myrtle Typhon Lumen should be decent resource investments, I'm fairly new too tho

[narrow patrol]

How far along in the story are you?

That’s a lot of e2’s

Seriously tho e2 typhon

[vivid rain]

Also put some levels into your e2 please

[somber falcon]

If borrowing is fine with you you can take any cost 20 6* guard to open
Otherwise you can open with pluma and noir
12 dp is really not that much

[spark sinew]

that's a lot of e1 max

[plush coyote]

yeah i pretty much just bring everyone to e1 max

[vivid rain]

? Why is surtr using s2

[compact shoal]

Lin for next ccb, ng s3 is really good qol. And maybe hoshi if u need healable brick

[plush coyote]

o

i forgor

[spark sinew]

you really shouldn't

[plush coyote]

no wonder she wasnt annihilating dogs

[potent prism]

whuts ccb

[spark sinew]

especially for like kafka

[vivid rain]

Next contingency contract

[spark sinew]

that roster in itself is weird as hell

[potent prism]

i dont do ccs lol

[vivid rain]

Based as shit?!??!

[polar crane]

[spark sinew]

so what did you struggle with

opening?

[atomic mural]

I am putting the ops next to the stoves but idk why they’re not turning on

[potent prism]

me?

[polar crane]

ya

[potent prism]

7-16

[plush coyote]

shoot the stoves

[atomic mural]

They get frozen as soon as they fire one shot

[plush coyote]

have a problem? shoot it

[atomic mural]

and then it resets again

[plush coyote]

well yeah

anyways putting ops next to stoves only keeps them on if they're already on

if they're off it does nothing

i think

[dapper hedge]

Ye the indicator where you can put the operators only show up when the stove is on

[somber falcon]

it's always one its' right side

[polar crane]

you must have kill the kamikaze guy

use lappland

[narrow pendant]

I mean

The tutorial explains the heater mechanic well

But idk, peoppe just ignore it ig

[dapper hedge]

Bold of you to think ppl will read

[plush coyote]

anyways i didn't notice this and it was basically half the problem i think lol

lol

lmao even

s1 obliterates infinite dogs

dog shredder

annihilator

i just like her s2 more BUT it fucking sucks here

[vivid rain]

I was thinking about surtr s3 actually but then again the main threat is just dogs so s1 might have more use here

[narrow patrol]

Please tell me you have Lappland

[atomic mural]

Okay nevermind I beat it

But now I’m stuck on RS-4

there’s a specific enemy that keeps nuking my ops

The one that yeets the giant snowballs

[radiant dune]

just place a fast redeploy like gravel on them to get their snowballs out once you see them, they dont get them back

[atomic mural]

how fast can gravel redeploy

[radiant dune]

18 seconds im pretty sure

[plush coyote]

is there anyone else to specifically avoid getting to e1

[radiant dune]

theres a case for not promoting jaye for his base skill

[plush coyote]

i'm guessing mostly units like gravel and, well kafka

[spark sinew]

kafka is very unique in that case

there's also frostleaf e2 but normal people won't do beyond e1 1 frostleaf

[radiant dune]

even gravel wants e1 for her second ability, the shield does help her stall a good amount where her defense boost may not at e1

[atomic mural]

Well can I uh use little gladdy and FEater to yeet them away and lure them away from my ops?

[narrow pendant]

I mean, no?

[radiant dune]

they still will throw the snowball

[narrow pendant]

The snowball will happen either way

[atomic mural]

I mean make them throw the snowball at them and not my ops

[narrow pendant]

Either bait the snowball, or have an op that doesnt die in 1 hit

They dont do too much dmg, 1.5k~ in ex-cm

[atomic mural]

well how do I bait it using gravel then

[radiant dune]

just place gravel down within their range when they have the snowball up, theyll throw it at her then you can just retreat her or let her die

[narrow pendant]

Uh, deploy her in their range

They throw the ball, and u either let her die(if she seriously dies in 1 hit) or retreat her right after

So u get back some dp

[glass monolith]

Or retreat while snowball in mid air (not during toss animation, they cancel it if target disappear)

[atomic mural]

Will I need an upgraded gravel

My rock is level one

[radiant dune]

level one is fine
