strategy

[glass wedge]

Ok

[scarlet mortar]

less impactful but also ansel ig

[spark sinew]

5-7 "normal" strat is to use charger vang

undeploy it and then deploy a pioneer or defender (humus should do fine)

no charger raised though, so let's see

does humus not hold top?

[glass wedge]

What is a charger vanguard

[glass wedge]

No

Well he can but

The drones

[glass wedge]

Those drones keep on killing both my snipers and melee ops

Mountain alone can hold bottom yoo

Too

[spark sinew]

just put a drone dampen device and your snipers should kill them before they reach the device i think

ok, interesting

back in the day it was slug rush that killed you, not drones

[glass wedge]

I know
But as I said the drones are also too tanky

[scarlet mortar]

ah right you have a levelled ethan

[glass wedge]

I didn't say that

I meant uhh

[scarlet mortar]

you can probs drop ethan on the right to open the top lane

[glass wedge]

The drones do too much dmg to the bottom lane where the dampen device cant reach
Normally the bottom ops dont die but they get damaged a lot and they cant heal that damage back

[spark sinew]

wait i just noticed

level your base workers

[glass wedge]

I dont have much LMD yet

[spark sinew]

that's the reason

[glass wedge]

I drop ethan on the right but he also gets killed by the arts drone

Oh and the frost drones are tanky af so if I cant kill at least one its an instant lose

[glass wedge]

Unless u mean i deploy him behind Humus?

[scarlet mortar]

he's mostly just for the opener

idt it's ideal actually so scrap that

[glass monolith]

I don't recall stage where you given dampers but no place to cover all drones

[glass wedge]

Humus and Flametail can deal with the opening comfortably

Its the drone part where i choke

[scarlet mortar]

was cooking sth with low rarity and midnight kills the frost drones easily

[spark sinew]

i can't really replicate the team because mine are all e2

where are you placing the damper actually

how tf does bot side even die

[scarlet mortar]

iirc the jammer debuffs the drones on top of silencing them

[spark sinew]

cause they're deployed on the left side, not the right

[scarlet mortar]

so yh you do want it out quickly

[glass wedge]

Is there a map ss somewhere

[spark sinew]

so they shouldn't get hit at all, no

[glass monolith]

map name

or you know numbers

[glass wedge]

5-7

I deploy dampener on the too

Top

[glass monolith]

#strategy message

[glass wedge]

Oh

Ok thx

I guess my steward and click will carry

[spark sinew]

oh those drones don't even attack the damper, wow

[glass monolith]

Damper disable drone attack

[spark sinew]

sure didn't in CC

[narrow pendant]

CC is made to fuck you over

[scarlet mortar]

well this worked

[spark sinew]

at least i vaguely remember that

[scarlet mortar]

jammers disable drone attacks but i'm pretty sure east armory just removed them

or that one high-rise stage

did we actually have a jammer? idt we did

oh right east armory

[dapper hedge]

Might be range extend tag

[scarlet mortar]

the drones attack from outside jammer range in that one

[glass monolith]

They outrange disable and even 1 frame of not being disabled is all they need to shot it

[scarlet mortar]

nah they can do that normally

jammers have a diamond range so the diagonals are shorter

[spark sinew]

we had jammer yeah

it's hard to forget that stage for me

idk who thought it was a good one

[scarlet mortar]

the bigger drones have enough range to almost always shoot the jammer if it's coming from a diagonal

see: H5-1

[scarlet mortar]

@glass wedge in case you haven't cleared it

mountain replaces popukar, just add more ops for the last wave

[rustic spire]

Is boss path like this?

[spark sinew]

no

[somber falcon]

Minus the detour on middle, he circle around and come from top

[narrow pendant]

Not that deep in the middle

[rustic spire]

Ok thanks

[remote perch]

he breaks both roadblocks

[rustic spire]

Here is he considered in between both tiles, so operator covering either would hit him? After his blink

[somber falcon]

His next teleport will just set him free

[wild sail]

Which one is better relic for IS4: "All friendly units have +35% DEF" or "All enemy units have -17% ATK"

Do enemies do more arts damage than physical or...?

Flat -17% seems better for me but idk, haven't played much IS4

[narrow pendant]

The -atk% gives mkrw value

Since the enemies have quite the bloated stats, esppecialy on higher d

[remote perch]

does that matter
both arts and phy scale with Atk

just pick the atk down

[wild sail]

Yeah that's what I thought, decided to check just to be sure

Ty

[glass wedge]

Nah its fine, mountain alone managed to clear bottom lane with assistance from Kazemaru when the butcher thing was about to kill
Click and Steward dealt with the drones
Purestream heals for the win
Humus died at the top but quickly got swapped out for blaze, also Pallas helped a lot at the top bc of her insane damage

Are there more stages beyond 5-7 i need to worry about

Feel kinda ashamed doing 5-7 with a guide

I mostly did other stages without one

[scarlet mortar]

the rest should be fine i think

5-7 is one of the harder red stages tbf

[pure mortar]

Anyone has any idea for this TG-8 clear? Pot 6 Ling, this is the closest I can get. I have like 3 or so practice plans, so I want to make them count w/ diff deployment spots

where is Pard when you need them

[wild sail]

Ah, I see you are a "Blue woman solves all" doktah

[spark sinew]

do you want to solo ling it for some reason?

[pure mortar]

And I'm waitin on her to solve tg-8

[glass wedge]

I heard theres a stage where 2 bossds appear, Mephisto and the green haired guy who looks like Verdant

[spark sinew]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Fg4y1S7LK

cm btw

normal one is soloed by a lot of ops, too many to count honestly

[flat plaza]

i need help with tg 7

cm

the boar

are too strong

[spark sinew]

use a shifter

[vivid rain]

Pullers on the 4 tiles

[somber falcon]

You can just make cs teleport into hole herself on right side

[wild sail]

dragon facing down towards the hole on the right side and cs yeets herself off the edge

[glass monolith]

Boar are angry
Hole is hungry
Gladiia m9

Also i have M3 Rope who i build as Cliff replacement for CC12 because I DIDNT KNEW CLIFF RANGE IS DIFFERENT OKAY?

[flat plaza]

can they die

[glass monolith]

Yes

Immortal hyper speed boars would be fun, but alas

[glass wedge]

How beat 5-10

My team and op's

[spark sinew]

defender where

[somber falcon]

Use gravel to tank faust's 5th shot

[spark sinew]

still didn't raise gravel, mfw

[glass wedge]

Alr

How do i deal with turret spam and crushers

[somber falcon]

Also humus kinda bad here since continuous dmg from ballista

[glass wedge]

So i replace him with gravel

[glass monolith]

More arts, more medics... Wait you don't have Perfurmer?

[glass wedge]

No

Best I can do is Sussuro

I know this is beatable without supports

I have all the tools

[spark sinew]

humus seems to be fine here honestly

[glass wedge]

I jusy dont know how to use it

[glass monolith]

Nah AoE medics to target multiple targets are more fun in current state

[spark sinew]

cause medics kinda suck

[glass monolith]

Mountain S2 suffers DEF down so less good if he balista target

[glass wedge]

Purestream S1 is OP here

[somber falcon]

Kaze should be able to kill crushers

[spark sinew]

just position him where he doesn't get hit much or just undeploy after open

[glass wedge]

Yeah she does, she's the support for mountain

I place blaze at the top but i cant think of anything to assist her

Do i get like a steward or pinecone?

Lemme try and take a vid of my run rq

[somber falcon]

Blaze can't kill crushers? 🤨

[glass wedge]

Here

...

I cant upload

Am i allowed to upload a yt vid here?

[spark sinew]

yes

[glass wedge]

Its just my run, I cant download it directly in discord

Alr

[somber falcon]

Probably size problem

[glass wedge]

https://youtu.be/Am5aefkXXbc?si=wvMRLZqqZjPAeJ8w

I was being a bit sloppy here and failed the gravel thing

[spark sinew]

use cuora

[glass wedge]

Kaze skill at the start was a misplay

Faust is such a pain

Mephisto's easy enough to deal with

[noble pewter]

U just need setup in a way where ur highest def unit is the last deployed n in range of some healers n it shud survive faust then afk win can drop gravel to eat some shot if things get bad maybe

[somber falcon]

yeah you didn't bait the shot properly
also i think it's every 4th shot here instead of 5th, mb

[glass wedge]

So basically
Deploy everything else and then get a Cuora or Gravel to tank everything?

[somber falcon]

gravel is only to tank the special shot

because for low lvl ops it hurts

[noble pewter]

Yea try setup nice lane n all then last deployed is ur highest def unit, if have spare slot keep 1 as spare to drop gravel as needed

[glass wedge]

Hmm

Alr lemme try again

[modern copper]

Hey chat

I don't have enough arts DPS to defeat the giants

And I don't have enough silencers

[noble pewter]

What r these giants u speak of

Oh 5 10 crushers huh

[noble pewter]

Well.. If u want an easy way, there's always the borrow button if not then maybe give ur Steward more lvs or sth

[modern copper]

Im not gonna texalt out of this

[somber falcon]

other ops exists

[sly drift]

carnelian

[narrow pendant]

turia

[noble pewter]

If no borrow n insist no lv up, then lappland/degen ur best bet to kill em I guess, block them with ur spot or degen then whack ?

[spark sinew]

you absolutely can texalt out of this

she literally shits on the stage

[somber falcon]

actually
aren't those crushers silenceable?

[noble pewter]

Not gonna means he doesn't want to or doesn't know how to ?

[modern copper]

I no no wanna

I can lvl tho

[somber falcon]

even lapp should shit on them + mephisto

[modern copper]

Just no t5 mats

[noble pewter]

Cheap option, lv up Steward, put lapp behind lane, one person in front block, lapp will silence n charge s2, healer support blocker, something like the kyostinv low rarity strat

[modern copper]

How do I make sure she doesn't target bystanders

Wait what's a support blocker

[noble pewter]

put lappland in the lane the crushers will travel through, but someone in front to block cause lappland def not that high n dont want eat crusher hammer as painful then have a healer to heal the blocker so they dont die as they help to tank the hammer

[modern copper]

And for the other lane

Ok so the other lanes fine

[glass wedge]

ALRIGHT YEAHHH

I got my winning run

Hold on lemme upload it to yt

https://youtu.be/-56MwDuPj_o?si=dR87Z5A4NjVhpT8P

[dusk schooner]

can anyone help with 9-4? the casters do too much dmg

[modern copper]

Ok so I got to kill two crushers

But I cannot stand the minimacroing required for faust

If I don't have an frd on 100% of the match I'm cooked

[weak gazelle]

quite a fun to toss around CS

[noble pewter]

If u OK with borrow maybe an April s2 or Yalter s3 can just kill em without taking any dmg but if cm mode n they invisible or sth then that may be a problem

[dusk schooner]

i lose horribly tho the ones that are near the base just kill my units and i can't kill both sets of them

[noble pewter]

If u OK with borrow then Yalter s3 n April s2 pretty fast redeploy just throw em down n retreat after kill n shud able cover both side in time

[dusk schooner]

i'll try

[noble pewter]

Or u can just use eckogen strat n bomb them from afar bot lane with artilleryman, they don't start moving until very later in the stage, enuf time to redeploy artilleryman to bomb left n right

[dusk schooner]

i somehow beat it with humus cuz he seems to not take damage from the ranged things attacks

but i still struggled a lot

i was stuck on that stage for 2 days finally

[modern copper]

Here's my 5-10 fail

What did I do wrong

[sly drift]

Hmm

First.. your gravel deployment succ.

[modern copper]

Like where I place it or when I place it

[sly drift]

2nd, you will struggle the late half of the stage using only one medic. Because arrows come from all direction

[pallid veldt]

why is gravel there if you arent baiting the purple arrows lol

[modern copper]

I need more frds tho....

[modern copper]

I have been

[pallid veldt]

what

am i seeing the right video

[modern copper]

I've just been spamming frds left and right

[sly drift]

Faust deal double damage every 5th shoot. Only use gravel to tank that

[cosmic thicket]

u only need 1 FRD yeah

[pallid veldt]

you didnt use gravel to tank a purple shot a single time in that video

[cosmic thicket]

just count the shots

[pallid veldt]

you use gravel once and that was after faust killed degen with purple arrow

the issue isnt that you need more FRDs its that you arent using them

[cosmic thicket]

literally that

[pallid veldt]

also take myrtle off the field

[cosmic thicket]

(also why are you deploying degen so late)

[pallid veldt]

shes just taking up a deployment slot

also use silence drone more

[sly drift]

One thing to mention is that art damage isn't really good on this stage except for those hammer dude. iirc mephisto give res to enemies, those possessed soldiers

Also enemy regen

[glass monolith]

Wait he give res too? Fuck this guy just stab him in first 25 seconds of stage

[balmy whale]

Hello i am against SN-10 and i am getting absolutely fucking stomped the main issues are the invisible enemies who literally 2 shot my team and the boss getting behind my operators phase 2

[smoky halo]

invisible?

doesnt lap just stop the spread of goo

[balmy whale]

there are enemies with camo that come out after phase 2

[smoky halo]

theres no invi enemies

[scarlet mortar]

reefs

[smoky halo]

they only gain invi on goo

lapp should prevent goo from spawning

[glass monolith]

Only invis enemy is piece of shit invisible on goo

[smoky halo]

ye

[scarlet mortar]

yh just lapp them

[balmy whale]

So i put her in top lane?

[smoky halo]

top lane is ur issue?

[scarlet mortar]

there're two lanes though so watch out on the other lane

[smoky halo]

u can just use the roomba to remove goo from top

or alternatively splitbox to blue box the goo spawner

[balmy whale]

okay camo is gone but why are they doing so much damage? is that because of goop as well?

[smoky halo]

so thry dont generate goo

[smoky halo]

no

read their abilities

[scarlet mortar]

the bouncing roomba + additional block can kill those reefs btw

[smoky halo]

the more they atk the more dmg they do

[balmy whale]

i see remove camo by erasing the goop and attack them before they do

[scarlet mortar]

even while they're on goo

[smoky halo]

ye

[balmy whale]

i'll keep that in mind

[smoky halo]

can cc them to reset their atk too ig

[scarlet mortar]

the cleaning roomba's easier to use but i find the bouncing one funnier

also solves phase 2 endspeaker for free

[smoky halo]

whats the issue with phase 2 anyway

degen doesnt 1 cycle?

[balmy whale]

i'll try few strategies more i feel like i am struggling more than i should i cleared up to late chapter 12

[smoky halo]

well this event requires u to play around the mechanics

[balmy whale]

not really at least not my m3 degen it goes behind my team and dies there

after that its gg

[smoky halo]

if u ignore the mechanics ur just boned

[scarlet mortar]

actually by phase 2 you mean actual phase 2, or do you ignore the first phase that doesn't do anything

[smoky halo]

do u count the super weak start as phase 1

or as phase 0

[scarlet mortar]

phase 2 for me is the one that does nervous impairment damage

[balmy whale]

yeah that one

[smoky halo]

how much hp does it have left after degem s3

[scarlet mortar]

did you let it eat the def buff or sth

[smoky halo]

oh true might be bc of the def buff

[balmy whale]

that must've been what happened that upper path is fucking annoying to deal with if i am being honest

[scarlet mortar]

it dies to 2 roombas, shouldn't even take a full DB S3

[smoky halo]

do you know which enemy is the def buff

[scarlet mortar]

if it gets the def buff it'll have a glowing blue shield below half hp

like the brandguiders which it copied do

[balmy whale]

okay dont let it eat the buffs but how do i stop it from eating them?

[scarlet mortar]

it eats the buff that's closest to it

[smoky halo]

you dont

[scarlet mortar]

just kill the brandguider at a different spot

[smoky halo]

u just make it eat something else

[balmy whale]

pick and choose i get it

[smoky halo]

ye

[balmy whale]

thanks for the help this shit is rough i'll be honest not even damatzi was this mechanically heavy

[scarlet mortar]

ehh that's bc the DP mechanic is half the challenge

also the spies

[balmy whale]

its different type of difficulty i suppose

[scarlet mortar]

damazti just comes in at the end to ruin your defenses

[glass monolith]

It is even better in EX and S stage

Also last phase has life leech because fuck you every game has life leech at some point

[scarlet mortar]

SN-S-5 endspeaker was a pushover though

after the utter bs that's SN-S-4-A/B that stage looked like a joyride

[glass monolith]

Pushover compared to hell of getting to S-5

[modern copper]

5-10 fail, what do

[scarlet mortar]

that wasn't so bad

i was waiting for a catastrophic point of failure and it was just, you missed some skills and didn't dps enough

idk if steward really does much there, you could've had click where he was and caper where click was

[modern copper]

Steward targets big giant first

[scarlet mortar]

yh doesn't matter much

it'll die later anw

[modern copper]

Is there a way to know when faust is on their 3cd shot

The one before the ourple

[scarlet mortar]

just compare where he's standing with your vods ig

that's his one pattern, since you don't have any form of mspd debuffs

[scarlet mortar]

actually better idea, move lapp forward and reposition perfumer

[maiden barn]

We did it patrick! We saved the city beat 4-5!

[scarlet mortar]

perfumer where silence is, silence between the top three ballistae facing down should work abt the same

[cinder pike]

have you done the upgraded 4-4 stage?

[potent prism]

who could i use this on?

[cosmic thicket]

proviso for base

[potent prism]

next op?

[cosmic thicket]

wdym

it's basically an open and shut case

unless somehow you're ok with not being more self-sufficient in LMD production

[potent prism]

I have base ops already

[cosmic thicket]

proviso is like

the single best base slave

[potent prism]

i asked in strategy channel and I still get people telling me to level base ops

[cosmic thicket]

she's the only 5* and up who has a short enough payback period to be worth e2ing just for base

[cosmic thicket]

because it's the correct decision

[potent prism]

I'm not spending 15$ for a base op omg

id rather just do insider

[cosmic thicket]

[potent prism]

@cosmic thicket ignore base entirely, who could i e2

[cosmic thicket]

idk

kaze rockrock canta

but if ur 6* abuser they don't matter

fucking mr nothing idk

[turbid badge]

i did it

in cn there's a login for e2 5* in 6 months

or is it mastery m3

i can't yell

i have raised a bunch of 5* but 6* options just reign supreme sadly in most cases :p

[potent prism]

maybe i will

it's not a lot of money tbh but I want cool ops

[turbid badge]

provisio base increase is crazy tbf

went from 60k to 78k-80k i just try to manage daily and usually check once a day so no crazy fiametta rotations etc cuz i don't have her
my lmd is usually in a surplus so i sometimes skip lmd in shops :p

with provisio use her with ur highest %, for me i just use eben and mr nothing

[latent monolith]

Greyy alter too

He's nice to use

[potent prism]

what does he do

[turbid badge]

aoe slow

with just auto attacksp

[latent monolith]

His AAs have like 80% chance of slowing enemies

With mod1 (which you want)

And then you can use his skill if you want to be sure the enemy stays slow

[turbid badge]

he also base slave for automation

[inner sun]

i just started playing IS, but i have come to some issues when it comes to hope

is there anyway to set up quickly and sufficiently before i get forced into a tough stage

IS2 specifically

[foggy grove]

hope management is basically saving for 6*

draft 3* for 0 hope

you can borrow or use your own 6* for starter

[inner sun]

for how many floors should i be using 3*

[foggy grove]

they are filler so it can range from start to finish depends on your draft

[zealous cradle]

or you just get broken relics and never replace them cuz they’re doing 6* dps now ♿

[foggy grove]

you are mostly drafting 6* dps carry so the 3* can be your filler healer/blocker or anything

[inner sun]

i did just get a relic that gives like +15% atk for allies

i think it'll be pretty good

in hindsight maybe i should've borrowed tony the tiger

so I don't have to think about lane holding for a few floors

[foggy grove]

borrow gavial instead of lol mountain

[potent prism]

gavialter can lane hold better than mountain with s2

[vernal lion]

gonna love beewax module

still it's not suitable to counter arts dmg

[jovial nest]

wait

why does that paradox map look familiar

oh wait it's a bit different from Minimalist's

...it's a LOT different. never mind.

but I just remember the caster harass section

and thought it was the same

[lusty basin]

IS2 is a little special because while it's easier than IS3/4, it has more squad check nodes

the 3*/6* strategy people mention is the typical approach, but make sure you have solutions for Justice, Red Mist, Bob's Beers, etc.

Thorns is such a respected starter because he solves pretty much every emergency while being very easy to use

[sterile jewel]

Can Silence alter S2 reach up to 72% sanctuary? Isn't that incredibly strong?

[lusty basin]

all of them

Kroos/Steward scale surprisingly well with random common relics you pick up

Fang tanks a lot while being DP neutral-ish

Spot tanking+healing saves you on F4/F5

[jovial nest]

this makes me curious. It has more squad checks than IS4 huh.
I do know that IS4 doesn't exactly have a healing check like Poison Haze maps

[glass monolith]

It is strong but - low duration, cd is not helping either (How often you get situation when enemy take 40 second to launch another nuke?)

[spark sinew]

what does thorns do on Justice, emergency accident or grand finale

except dying horribly

[jovial nest]

Thorns shouldn't even be taking any hits. He's just there to spawncamp almost any IS2 map

[lusty basin]

I'm assuming from context this isn't hard mode

Thorns doesn't work there on hard, yea

[jovial nest]

even in hard mode, Thorns shouldnt be in that much danger

[glass monolith]

#strategy message Me abusing AH + Silence Alter on H12-4

[spark sinew]

ok yeah he isn't dying

he just leaks 20

which is you dying horribly

[jovial nest]

well if you're relying only on him in hard mode, that IS a mistake

[spark sinew]

accident is f1 map

grand finale is f2

[jovial nest]

we talking zero tactical squads or anything goes?

[lusty basin]

Emergency Accident on normal is an issue if you get uhhh exactly medic ticket I think?

[glass monolith]

Say less

[spark sinew]

chachek

godspeed

[glass monolith]

And it is +40% relic hard mode so i just died

[jovial nest]

chachek with dog map?

yeah godspeed there

that tends to kill most starting setups

[spark sinew]

accident is metal crab + 30 paratroopers

[jovial nest]

oh thats slow enough for Thorns to actuall get to S3 perma

[spark sinew]

you die anyway

[jovial nest]

we talking any floor modifiers?

[glass monolith]

Emergency is elite ranged paratroopers
Survivalist give all enemies +150% ATK or so

[jovial nest]

doesn't survivalist also boost our ops' ASPD?

which one is that again?

[glass monolith]

Issue is our brave ops attack fucking immortal metal crab in front

[spark sinew]

generally you can assume that you're doing guard vang

[jovial nest]

.....wat?

how?

there's no vanguard guard starter

[spark sinew]

although my bad memories are from not running e2 squads

[jovial nest]

you random the 3 classes?

[spark sinew]

e2 guard vanguard squad...

[jovial nest]

oh

of course

I'm actually curious now

wouldn't the best starter for IS2 guard be Galter?

or is there a ranged check early on?

[spark sinew]

e2 starts are generally too good so you can run almost whatever

you can still wipe on grand finale though

[smoky halo]

is prolly better exec

[lusty basin]

yea to be clear I only mentioned it because I assume @inner sun is a new player playing on normal mode

[spark sinew]

for truly new players i would go with ling/pozy honestly

depending on whether or not they have an answer for the boss

[lusty basin]

yes fair

[spark sinew]

or did they unlock the e2 squads already and i missed it?

cause thorns e1 sucks and he won't kill the boss still

[lusty basin]

oh right, those aren't by default

[jovial nest]

yeah

you unlock those squads

[lusty basin]

[spark sinew]

yeah you need a clear on normal difficulty

[jovial nest]

as for being forced to play E1 starters

Ling is the better choice for IS2

[spark sinew]

with the 5 of vangs/guards as well

[lusty basin]

I wandered into #strategy by misclick anyway I shall take my leave

[jovial nest]

her S2 spam can really kill a lot of enemies

[lusty basin]

o7

[jovial nest]

will struggle in hard mode though

[spark sinew]

pozy can actually kill the boss with way less effort though 🫡

[jovial nest]

but you shouldn't hard mode that early on

[inner sun]

a few months into the game, and i got directed to do IS by friends

[jovial nest]

IS isn't going anywhere

if anything

doing IS too early

is super unfun

you're forced to recruit the same operators without flexibility

imagine playing IS1....with just this

it's not fun

but it was a "bit fun" for me because it was FRESH AF content

[spark sinew]

IS gives a ton of resources though

especially if you do monthlies

[jovial nest]

up to them. But without the missions, it takes forever to get high levels. So I recommend the latest IS

[jovial nest]

and then work backwards

you have a LOT more options than where i was

you'd at least have a modicum of fun

[spark sinew]

2 modern guards will just tear through IS

[jovial nest]

as long as they don't go high on difficulty

[spark sinew]

and you have options for other tickets

[inner sun]

i tried the first difficulty to try it out

[spark sinew]

well, normal difficulty is implied for IS2

[inner sun]

then i got my ass beat by phantom

[jovial nest]

even if missions are present in IS4....yeah we recommend you do IS2 first

it works like the "tutorial" of ISs

other ISs have more gimmicks and mechanics

[spark sinew]

i remember dunking on phantom with carne

[jovial nest]

IS2 is as vanilla as you can get

[inner sun]

okay to be fair the outcome would be different if i had my regular team but I'm basically playing with handicaps

[spark sinew]

kal mly degen can just bait a teleport once and one cycle it

[inner sun]

yeah but issue is

[jovial nest]

behold the Poze supremacy back then

[inner sun]

i got to phantom at like

floor 3

when my team is not even set up

[jovial nest]

it's natural to lose there imo

he's a bit more gimmicky than other Ending 1 bosses

wait

[inner sun]

difficulty determines ending?

[jovial nest]

no

there's encounter routes

that trigger different ending floors or bosses

they tend to be locked out of you

until you kill the first ones

you can't get to ending 2 without winning ending 1

for example

[spark sinew]

that's not phantom

[jovial nest]

yeah it isn't

[inner sun]

isnt the boss the operator

[jovial nest]

floor 3 has no phantom

nope

[inner sun]

i mean this guy

[jovial nest]

lemme check what you could've fought

[inner sun]

i fought that guy

[jovial nest]

that's floor 5

not floor 3

[inner sun]

must've progressed more than i thought

[jovial nest]

grats

[inner sun]

yeah but still he beat my ass

[jovial nest]

there's only 2-3 bosses per IS run normally

1 boss in floor 3

1 boss in floor 5

and the extra floor 6 has a different one too (different ending)

[inner sun]

my team was like virtuosa, specter, gladiia, NG, silence, liskarm myrtle

[jovial nest]

btw

if you want more specific tips or stuff about IS

#is-station

although most of it are gonna be dominated by IS4

but you can ask there too for strats

[inner sun]

thanks

[jovial nest]

this map gives PTSD to anyone who did IS1.
Back in IS1 there's not a lot of solutions for this map

[inner sun]

but my last run wasn't the best since i didn't use a support unit

[jovial nest]

in IS2 its a lot easier

due to having more operator strength and options

[smoky halo]

just get sarkaz treaty

and sleepge

[jovial nest]

[inner sun]

guh maybe i should've just made virtuosa murder most of the goon mobs at the right of the map where like 20 casters circle a big rock

[smoky halo]

virt leaves them with 1 hp

[inner sun]

virtuosa s3 in mob rushes:

[jovial nest]

I can't wait how IS plays like once we get 2 powerhouses in one banner. Wis and Logos

[vivid rain]

They just make floor 1 enemies counter wis start

[jovial nest]

like IS3's meta has always been long-ranged physical.
So I wonder how much Wis, Ray, Ela, and Typhon would dominate there.

[jovial nest]

where there's a will, there's a way. I remember people adjusting from Reedic starts the moment there's Dublinn maps early on in IS4 Ending 4 update

Went fully Degen

and once Wis was released

became Wis starts.

you just have to adjust the timings on how to use the new set of ops

[vivid rain]

Or maybe they’ll make nymph start extremely good to sell her for the JPs

[jovial nest]

there's no such thing as "selling" ops in their events or ISs

it's mostly coincidence if its good

Chalter's event, Dossoles, was extremely anti against her strengths

and Galter was also pretty annoyed by all the drunk dodging dwarves

same for Poze

[spark sinew]

they definitely sold her in the CC though

[jovial nest]

well whoop de doo, that ain't during the banner's time

[spark sinew]

which was just after her event banner

[jovial nest]

its not exactly selling her when people can no longer get her

[spark sinew]

events are very easy so they never "sold" units there

no, you just showing people what they could've had

[jovial nest]

plus R18 in old CCs were always flexible in clear strategies

[glass monolith]

I literally rushed Pozy to 3 OP minimalist stage (Gladiia to hold drone, Pozy to unalive drone, third body to eat car to buff Pozy) so don't try with your anti pozy propaganda

[spark sinew]

so when another operator will come out they would want to pull for it

just in case future event will he insanely good for them

[jovial nest]

you could've done that with Schwarz too you know

hell, some did it with Exu

the damn Exu fans are resilient

[glass monolith]

Which i shoperatored like month ago so don't count

[glass wedge]

I mean 6-4

How do u beat it

[glass monolith]

Killing all enemies.

Possessed thrower bleed on his own but hurts, use defender with most DEF and medics to survive long enough their assault

[glass wedge]

The throwe targets my medics instead of Courses

I mean Cuora

[fickle zephyr]

deploy cuora last

[glass monolith]

They don't move after they start attacking because big attack speed, so "deploy Cuora closer" can be potential answer too

[narrow pendant]

Borrow penance and have them kill themselves

[turbid badge]

there def gonna start fear immune

lol

[jovial nest]

as long as they don't touch -MSPD immunity

there will always be a stall

[turbid badge]

the nymph , +sp stalls & apparently cc duration relics affect fear? don't quote me on this are just :

[glass monolith]

#strategy message

[turbid badge]

if it's sleep stall im not clicking sorry

its a sadge lapdumb moment when i try to erato + mrnothing a boss than find out its sleep immune

[glass monolith]

It is all balls exploding after sleep stall

[spark sinew]

yes

[odd forge]

help me for this map

[narrow pendant]

sir what is that sanity
Whats u need help with to be more exact?

And your roster youre using

[odd forge]

my tank got one shot heh

[somber falcon]

is this tank in the room with us

[narrow pendant]

Still no e1? Kinda behind

[foggy grove]

you don't want to block the boss anyhow

[odd forge]

no e1 yeah

[narrow pendant]

You'd prolly want like, pozy+healer to dps skullshatter, you dont want to block her

But no e1 hurts, you should have at least some at this point

[odd forge]

alright, imma grind it

[narrow pendant]

I dont wanna be a dick but, youre basicaly almost at the end of act 1
You should have some

It will only help you make the stages easier

[odd forge]

roger that

[somber falcon]

you can e1 some 3* first to help with raising the higher rarities, just don't forget they're ultimately a stepping stone and don't overfocus

[narrow pendant]

Well, some 3* are good to upgrade

Steward, spot, kroos, fang

If you have 4* like cuora, click, those are also good units

[odd forge]

okay, thanks

[spark sinew]

you're leveling way too many units

way too many shit units as well

rarity!= performance here

[potent prism]

newbies tend to have inflated sanity cause of them leveling up often

[undone sundial]

any tips for TG-8

[vivid rain]

Crownslayer jumps into the hole if you block her

[undone sundial]

where

[vivid rain]

On top of the rightmost hole

Place someone there, if crownslayer touches them she dies

[narrow pendant]

Cars die to the red dot without needing to hit them

Not in cm tho

[potent prism]

wait can you take a picture of where

I'm struggling on that too

[narrow pendant]

The right blue box

Theres a hole

Place someone right infront

[somber stone]

Right above the hole not the box

[cedar latch]

Any tips for 3-8? I can't kill the leader before he comes down and kills everyone.

[wicked viper]

can you borrow la pluma

[cedar latch]

Maybe, which category is she?

[wicked viper]

guard

she is 5*

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1yh411w7d2/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click

[vivid rain]

i think executor alt works there too but idk

[wicked viper]

if its possible, try to borrow her skill 2, which is the burst dmg one, its easier that way but s1 work too

also nah

E1 executor is a lot weaker than e1 la pluma

[vivid rain]

huh that's funny

[wicked viper]

since s1 suck and s2 has lower dps

[sly drift]

"a lot"?

[foggy grove]

on bursting

because early game enemy doesn't have def so pluma s2 can burst

[narrow patrol]

Ok so uhh any ideas of how I can kill his phase 1 early? I feel like. I need a flag bearer so I can print enough dp to spam mines

[merry narwhal]

Amiya S3 can pop p1 by herself with 1 (?) mine

[narrow patrol]

I’m gonna need to e2 her ain’t I?

Then once invul for p2 ends and he throws the first spear (which iirc insta kills the furthest ranged op. Unless your Lin) I can burst him with Mlynar and degen

[merry narwhal]

you can also borrow Penance who solos (?) the map

the enemies have really high defence thanks to Patriot, so casters generally do really well here

Archetto might not be the carry you need

[civic bear]

only use 1/2 ops to handle the mobs on bot left so you can spend more dp on pat p1 instead

[merry narwhal]

oh I see you ahve Mwinner? Can't you set a mine on the tile above Silence and then use Mwinner to pop p1?

[narrow pendant]

I mean, tifon solo's the first phase, doesnt she?

[civic bear]

bro wants to kill fast to do the stall thing

or smth idk maybe thats what he wants to do

[narrow patrol]

As it turns out Amiya s3 can solo him with 1 mine

That was rough

I made a mistake in redeploying Amiya after Mlynar killed Patriot

[shell arch]

Weirdge, why would you want to kill Patrick p1 asap?

[narrow patrol]

So I could’ve Mlynar and degen s3 for his p2

[shell arch]

I mean, uh, is stalling him not an option?

[narrow patrol]

My initial runs had me killing him too late/deep into the map that the burn of his phase 2 just
Murders everyone

[shell arch]

P2 burn as in ranged spear attack?

[narrow patrol]

No the AoE burn just by being near him

[strange fable]

His aura burn

not the spear

[shell arch]

i kinda forgor patrick mechanism already

[narrow patrol]

Click was mostly to help clear bottom lane And Draw the spear

Also borrowed Ptilo to help keep degenbrecher alive because frankly my perfumer and Silence were NOT cutting it

[shell arch]

Ptilopsus s2 has poggers hp/s so yeah

[narrow patrol]

And trying to stall him with defenders wasn’t exactly an option either

Poor Cuora

[shell arch]

I meant to stall one enemy and let mines do the job of soling patrick p1

So when p2 you can burst him down

[narrow patrol]

Yeah no I tried that before. Cuora can take a lot of abuse but Patriot is something else

Also the burn usually kills her

[shell arch]

[narrow patrol]

Maybe if she was e2 but eh

Another time

I still have enough chip glue for Ela and Shu

[shell arch]

Don't e2 cuora

This advice comes from e2 cuora haver

[glass monolith]

[narrow patrol]

Seriously tho I hate to imagine how rough this was for year 1 where Amiya was your only real means of hurting him

[strange fable]

we had schwarz

[shell arch]

P2 is quite burstable with eyja sash

P1 is solo'ed with mines or with the help of eyja s3

[narrow patrol]

Fair. Don’t have Goat girl volcanologist tho

[vivid rain]

P2 is squishy and doesnt hit hard

[narrow patrol]

Time to go into chapter 8 and Suffer

Nightingale gale borrow will likely make my life easier for THAT fight?

[vivid rain]

Chapter 8 is kinda easy actually with our selection nowadays

[shell arch]

My 7-18 auto looks like this. I haven't touched it since I cleared it

Makes me wonder how on earth I dealt with Patrick p2

[vivid rain]

Patrick phase 2 doesnt even hit hard smh

[shell arch]

Talulah? Yeah

[civic bear]

we got mines so

[shell arch]

Then again I've heard modern ops like navia can solo talulah

[civic bear]

can kill pat with mostly mines

[spice mortar]

Dumb advice e2 cuora is good

If you dont have any of the 6 star tanks cuora is a good option

Cheap too

[vivid rain]

I wish i never had to use cuora e2

She is evil, albeit a necessary one

[shell arch]

I mean can't you just borrow hoshi/nian?

[spice mortar]

You can just borrow anything

But what if you have to borrow a carry a need a brick

[civic bear]

borrowing tank is just not optimal tho

[spice mortar]

Cuora is good

Thr e2 stats are worth her e2

[shell arch]

I'm quite biased since I rarely miss anyone so my mindset is if don't have them, borrow them

[spice mortar]

Mod is such a good upgrade too

[spice mortar]

Then dont give biased advice hello

[civic bear]

i mean if you have

most 6*

no shit

[shell arch]

So cuora worth e2 if you're missing nian/hoshi?

[civic bear]

for sure

[spice mortar]

Yes

[shell arch]

i see

I can finally cope my e2 cuora usecase

[spice mortar]

I mean what is there to cope, high def brick for cheap mats

[shell arch]

Sir I'm afraid to inform you but I started with shining hoshi ange

[civic bear]

nian hoshi doesnt regen bythemselves so

[spice mortar]

I mean then yeah cuora usecase falls off but you can always switch things up with ur units

[shell arch]

Generally you want to sustain nian hoshi with medics, no? I've always thought cuora s2 regen is just a small bonus

[spice mortar]

It allows her to solo tank lanes others cant which can be useful

Or if ur strapped on dp

[civic bear]

her threshold is like 1250

which is pretty high

[shell arch]

I can see the strapped on dp part

That's cuora offskill def?

[vivid rain]

Using cuora reminds me of TRC rng hell

[civic bear]

yes

1200 def

so effectively 1250

[shell arch]

[civic bear]

she heals ~100 hps

[shell arch]

Good point

[civic bear]

she can stalls a lot of thing on her own

i wish theres a 6* variant of that

unfortunately there isnt

😔

[shell arch]

Is hoshi not an alternative?

[civic bear]

heal defender has too low def

no heals bro

[spice mortar]

Cuora levels of def on a self regenning 6* would be broke for stall

[civic bear]

i mean she's unkillable technically

but yeah

self regen with high def doesnt really exist

[vivid rain]

Maxed Cuora have 1203 def actually

[vivid rain]

Btw isnt eunectes s3 literally this or im i hallucinating

[spice mortar]

Cuora is my goat man

[shell arch]

Eusnecctes s3 doesn't have regen or I'm schizo?

[civic bear]

she does

but she stuns herself

[shell arch]

[civic bear]

bad stall

[shell arch]

Now i know why i didn't know s3 eun has regen

It's because i never used her

Smh

[civic bear]

closest you could "get" would be

[shell arch]

Are there any practical usecase of using eun s3?

[civic bear]

aurora. but only if she not blocking. but even then its not enough

eun s3 is basicly skadi s3 ah built in

i mean its there but

% is too low for todays standard

[tidal sedge]

SA s2? Or does he not count due to being guard

[civic bear]

yeah he counts

he doesnt have as high max hp as others but its good enough

[shell arch]

[civic bear]

and doesnt get too high in defense either 😔

kinda want the option to reach that 2k threshold every now and then

[narrow patrol]

I do NOT have a Nian or Hoshi

[shell arch]

This sounds silly but there are chances that you can get Hoshi from recruitment

[narrow patrol]

IF I get TO tag. It’ll be a while

[shell arch]

I will bless you to get top op tag next week

[summer copper]

it does not exist

[shell arch]

True! (Now with shades.)

[severe musk]

This is my core team, what module should I develop first?

[strange fable]

can NG mod lvl 1

and Hoshi +def mod lvl 1

[severe musk]

👍

[odd forge]

yehey i did it

[jovial nest]

new anni and new SSS food medals soon.

[narrow pendant]

10-17 sucks

[vivid rain]

10-17 is easy smh

[narrow pendant]

I beat it but mans annoying

[glass wedge]

How to do 6-11

[glass wedge]

Ansel as well

[delicate quail]

LF strat to clear LT6 Reciding Tides

[vivid rain]

Cuh?

[dusk schooner]

anyone help with 5-3?

[vivid rain]

What seems to be the issue?

[strange fable]

Yato alter to kill all casters

[dusk schooner]

the caster leaders do way too much dmg

[strange fable]

just borrow to make it simple

[dusk schooner]

i try borrow guards and healers but they get killed

even vanguards

[strange fable]

have e2?

Or no e2 yet?

[dusk schooner]

no e2 yet

[strange fable]

Yato s2

Deploy to kill caster

Does yato die at e1?

E1 max looks fine

[vivid rain]

Nah even melantha lives long enough to kill them

[dusk schooner]

that thing is too good jeez

[vivid rain]

Metamancing amirite

[dusk schooner]

it kils the casters in seconds

[cosmic thicket]

is that the lighthouse SSS

[dull sage]

caster trouble yato alter
shielder trouble mlynar
boss trouble degenbreacher

[vivid rain]

Nuh uh mlynar solves all of them

[glass monolith]

Just Ambriel + Golgenglow your troubles from opposite corner of map

[vivid rain]

Ambriel proceed to target slugs and the hovering guy just float by and initialize a drive-by

[glass monolith]

Eventually map will run out of slugs

So Ambriel will eventually help

Or map has 0 DEF barricade destoying which unlocks enemy shortcut into blue box

[grand iron]

3-7 scared me by spamming caster, breaking my left frontline in a sec

what should I do

it break so fast that like the defensive of france in 1939-1940 when facing the blitzkrieg of german

[narrow pendant]

Thank you for the history lesson

[grand iron]

how should I avoid my defensive break apart when facing invisible caster

[narrow pendant]

Wait a sec, need to look at that stage

Ah its this stage

[grand iron]

so dear mr professional strategy planner player, how should I prevent my defensive suffered the same fate as the france

[cosmic thicket]

Roadblocc

[grand iron]

we have roadblock in that stage?

[narrow pendant]

Well, you can use the blocks to make a conga line on the left, and use the device when casters get in range

Yiu can use a fast redeploy to block the casters which reveals them

You can borrow someone like Ines or Silverash that have invis reveal

[narrow pendant]

Yes, its written in the stage description

[grand iron]

oh damn

[grand iron]

it dont even HAVE

WDYM

[cosmic thicket]

Isn't there a giant beacon that reveals invis

[grand iron]

no

[cosmic thicket]

Are you doing 3-7 or S3-7

[narrow pendant]

I think it do

[cosmic thicket]

2 different stages

[grand iron]

S3-7

[narrow pendant]

Say that then

[grand iron]

xd

3-7 is just easy but S3-7 is a whole another story

I manage to get 2 star when focus all healer at the left defensive

but the right defensive break apart

oof

[narrow pendant]

Well, invis reveal, or block close to the spawn so they have as much time to hit

[cosmic thicket]

What's does map look like again

[cosmic thicket]

Tf is that

I don't remember the stage LOL

[grand iron]

I am refreshing in desperately finding ins or silver thing

but none

[narrow pendant]

You do have at least one e2 yea?

[grand iron]

n o

I am up courier until my enemy, sanity appear

[narrow pendant]

L then, i got ines but invis reveal is e2 talent

[grand iron]

now teach me how to beat 3 star that chap mr professional strategy planner gamer

[narrow pendant]

I have no such title

Im a poor 3 months old newbie

[grand iron]

and I am a totally newbie

[narrow pendant]

Ok ic

I have no idea what your roster looks like

[grand iron]

let me send you summary about mah team

[narrow pendant]

But, have a blocker on the bottom, right where they spawn, a healer for him and a sniper(kroos) in the grass

Casters come, get blocked and revealed, sniper shall kill

[narrow pendant]

And u can prolly do the same for the top too

[narrow pendant]

Where ur 6*

[grand iron]

it is a fcking support

[narrow pendant]

Angelina or suzu then im guessing

[grand iron]

suzu

IT IS F SUZU

[narrow pendant]

Suzu is amazing

[grand iron]

not early game

[narrow pendant]

For later content, quite meh early indeed

[cosmic thicket]

suzu is at least the strongest 6* in the newbie banner for endgame

[narrow pendant]

[grand iron]

so time to make new acc

[cosmic thicket]

nah

on the bright side the broken DPS ops to come will be even better with suzu S3 up

ig ela is the exception bc she already has her own source of fragile

[grand iron]

ye "bright side" and it lasts for a few moment

[cosmic thicket]

I mean it's enough to solve most stages

[grand iron]

even final chap of the final story?

[cosmic thicket]

Yes because story stages aren't that scary
Boss stages sometimes not enough

[grand iron]

dang

but only usable when she s3?

D:

btw when yapping around, my zenless zero instal 15% after 1 hour

[cosmic thicket]

yeah she's only super post e2 and mastery

[narrow pendant]

Done, not hard

[grand iron]

wtf just happening

[narrow pendant]

See, pretty easy even with that

Would probably switch places on healers

Casters hurt more

[spark sinew]

it lasts for a literal eternity

[grand iron]

nvm, I figure myself how to beat it

not too hard, just becasue of my stupid placement ._.

I forgot the area where 2 enemies will go around

[narrow pendant]

Nice job

[grand iron]

idk how ur perfumer survive whole time when castor shoot to it ut

[narrow pendant]

They didnt

[grand iron]

eh

[narrow pendant]

Well

They didnt until lapp died, she was where courier is on that pic

But just place someone else and they stop

Last deployed operator is the one enemies attack

[grand iron]

I put lapp at the place of where vigna is according to urs

perfumer is at the left of the click

[narrow pendant]

I put her there cuz enemies were about to leak

[grand iron]

._.

I place her there for just dmg support

since I get pudding

[grand iron]

I use courier, vigna and cutter just to reveal hidden

their sacrifice will not be forgetten

[grand iron]

btw idk how I can defend with just 1 shielder at the map weird

[narrow pendant]

I just used the squad you said u have is all

[grand iron]

no pudding

[narrow pendant]

I dont have her cuz shes not good

And i use red certs for other things

[grand iron]

wdym she not good

[cyan gorge]

All chain casters are meh, at least till they get module

[ripe girder]

Oh damn i missed that red box on corner of screen

[glass monolith]

Relatable Except i missed red box on some H stage

[modern copper]

Send herp

[dapper hedge]

Do you have lappland

Also put down saria next to flametail when theguy on right spawn

[crisp bolt]

a penance is all you need (or a rat)

[remote perch]

why is click facing left, make her face down so she can actually hit the defenders
and place saria after placing click so the dudes on the right take aggro on her

save coura skill when the hard hitting dude comes
get more meatshield to stall time too

[crisp bolt]

you can ignore the throwers if you can keep the bait alive

[remote perch]

remove the units u didn't use
and get shits like gravel or whatever ground units u have so u can stall the hard hitting dude on the left until it kills itself

[crisp bolt]

also you can hold on to degen s2 for the melee guys that do big damage

[modern copper]

im sorry what would lappland do here

[compact shoal]

Arts damage from melee range most likely, the shield guy have high def,

[dapper hedge]

She can attack from behind silence, has arts damage, and those mobs Regen can be silenced.

[tight phoenix]

hey guy can u give me suggestions on who to build and E2?

[cyan gorge]

Hard to give suggestions when you don’t show the options

[glass monolith]

1. 11 characters to carry you 24/7.
2. Your Waifu in 12th slot.
3. Literally anything which is not nailed down, you have 11 characters to carry you anyway

[dapper hedge]

Nvm I'm misremembering you can't silence them but you literally can just do it like this with lap

[glass monolith]

Wait shield dudes regen not silenceable? Either way this tile is awesome for arts damage lords - on skill Midnight / Lapp / QB to kill shields

[tight phoenix]

oh sorry hold on

here

[cyan gorge]

Skalter, Gnosis, Stainless, Warfarin are the standouts to me

[tight phoenix]

right ty 😄

[cyan gorge]

Hoshi too since having a big def defender is good in the long run

[glass monolith]

2 days to do last of this stupid SSS and i still have 3 missions to do

[foggy grove]

i have recruiting medic uncleared yet because who normally draft that shit

[limpid siren]

minor inconvenience

[glass monolith]

"You probably wonder how i end up in this situation"

[narrow pendant]

Who woupdve thought that passanger with the special chain caster relic is so fun

[glass monolith]

So how hard your finger hurt from all those S3 activations?

[narrow pendant]

Not at all, i like spammy spam

Its why i cant wait for zuo

[glass monolith]

I cope to obtain Zuo because i have Silence Alter who will nicely combine with my skill issue which would normally let him get killed between S3 uses

[narrow pendant]

The rare salter use

[turbid badge]

use passenger with sp module & new mostima module, they stack btw mass storms in general content!!

[glass monolith]

I used her in POO 600 because i didn't build defenders to do fucking stall strat

[turbid badge]

i love silatler

[turbid badge]

i love spammy spam too

[narrow pendant]

My brother

[turbid badge]

that's why i m3 shamare anything under 30 seconds is aoughh,
same reason why im raising regular silence drone
18 sp drone

30 sp cost but it has no sp lockout

i play at 2x so this double fast

[lethal dragon]

She almost looks like penance from behind

[latent monolith]

No SP lockout is so nice

Silence in that HP drain SSS be like

[modern copper]

I feel like I've got the right concept for 6-5 but I'm still doing smth wrong

I hope the quality isn't too bad it took 12% of my battery to compress

Nvm 13%

[dapper hedge]

Didn't you have saria

Oh nvm that was a borrow

[narrow pendant]

Are you playing like, without borrowing at all?
Cuz someone like Lin or Penance makes the stage a breeze

[cyan gorge]

oh wait Cutter is e2

just borrow Penance

[vivid rain]

He doesnt borrow iirc

[dapper hedge]

Wait yeah, so he does have saria where is she why beagle & spot

[pearl sentinel]

What do they mean by same as smarty's attributes???

That white thingy above his head?

[narrow pendant]

Oh for the event

Yeah

[dapper hedge]

Ya if they the black & white touch each other they explode

[pearl sentinel]

How does my op even get one of those?

Cuz I can't seem to block them

[narrow pendant]

You dont

[pearl sentinel]

Oh

[narrow pendant]

Thats the kicker

You kill them quick, preferably from range

Cuz the explosion on CM hurts a decent bit
