strategy

[narrow pendant]

Dusk bad, estelle bad, buds bad

But is fine if u want them there, normal stages can be done with lot

[polar crane]

look like you came from the past

[undone sundial]

dusk has been great

estelle is alright ans buds i havent used that much yet but seems pretty good

[undone sundial]

why?

[polar crane]

no new op aside from grain

[dapper hedge]

Cause most of those are like 2021-22 units lol

Splash caster are generally garbage compared to other type of caster barring mostima

[narrow pendant]

I love dusk too, but i also know shes bad

still went 300 pulls on Shu banner to get Dusk

[scarlet mortar]

dusk is great smh

just needs M9 Ymod3 to be usable for normal stages

[elder flume]

dragons are made for base first

[scarlet fulcrum]

Actually true...

[wild quest]

This team worked!

[gilded fjord]

Is there a reclaimation algorithm 2 guide on base building?

[scarlet fulcrum]

There will be maybe, en still on grey rn. Unless some CN player (?) willing to make it

[undone sundial]

thats when i played the most to be fair and ive been pretty lazy on leveling new units

anyone to look out for?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just watch yt vid or smt, since u are fine with spoilers

[undone sundial]

i do have a lot of just

not leveled units

[polar zodiac]

chongus, executor and zuo le are good

[undone sundial]

ive been getting by with the current team but stages slowly get harder so i figured i might check

[undone sundial]

alrighty

chong is probably next then since hes also from the cool area

[wide sail]

shamare ely and gnosus have their moments too

[undone sundial]

any 4 stars?

[polar zodiac]

pinecone and cutter

[undone sundial]

i have those aswell

should level them probably since its cheaper

[wide sail]

ethan is king without a doubt

[polar zodiac]

ye I was just gonna say

[vague rock]

holy molly typhon is pretty goated in IS 3

pretty much holds 2 lanes for ending 1 boss

[scenic cliff]

Should I upgrade mountain? These are my operators

[narrow pendant]

Zuo le instead

[scarlet fulcrum]

E1 mountain first actually fine

[lone scarab]

any base upgrade guides?

[narrow pendant]

Ask/pins in #r-i-i-c

[shell arch]

Any maffs nerds?

Assuming goldenglow's 2nd possible mod gives equal additional base atk as 1st mod, how much ignore res improvement does the 2nd possible mod need to outdps the first one?

300% > 360% explosion dmg is quite huge. Won't 2nd mod need like 10 res ignore improvement to outdps?

[keen rain]

are you ignoring the base mod effect?

300 to 360 is also not that big since the chance of it happening is 10%. 300 was already a big modifier. Imagine 10 * 1 became 12 *1 as opposed to 10 * 2. The self destruct chance increasing would've had a much bigger impact

[wicked viper]

current goldenglow mod math is something around 21% + 7.78% per target via explosion but this is assuming keep switching
if you assume she keep targetting 1 target the math go down to around 12% + 7.78% so 20% dps up ish
say you are using her against single target and 2nd mod give around the same base atk as 1st mod, she goes around 20% more dps from modless, or 8-9% from 1st mod due to the modY effect is made for single target dps

so tldr, if you assume she only target 1 enemy, modY doesnt need any increase res shred to beat modX, since modY is already better by default for that situation

[shell arch]

yep

i mean the 1st mod base mod effect don't give anything at all. just quicker ramp up

[keen rain]

I mean gg main use these days is mob clearing

[shell arch]

true, but I was thinking of 2nd possible mod since it would probably be better than the current mod

I'm having hard time understanding chishasu's answer

current gg mod is mod x right?

due to the modY effect is made for single target dps

I don't get that part, could you elaborate? @wicked viper

[wicked viper]

it means

modX is made for her to keep changing target
modY increase dmg cap for ramp up. so for the situation where modY is better, which is targetting 1 target like TLK, then modY doesnt need more res ignore to beat modX

drone caster module are mostly situational

but modY is kinda stinky

[shell arch]

but we don't know what mod Y will do yet, no? we only have mod x

[wicked viper]

only 10% boost

[keen rain]

I think chisha means that mody will improve
Controls a Drone that deals Arts Damage; When the drone attacks the same enemy, its damage will increase (Initially deals 35% of the operators ATK, subsequent attacks on the same target increase this value by 15 every attack, up to this part>>"110%" of the operator's ATK)

[wicked viper]

this is modY

FUN-Y

[shell arch]

I'm slow

I thought we only had mod x

[keen rain]

when did we get mod y

[wicked viper]

right with modX

[shell arch]

so 2nd possible gg mod would be better against ST, while 1st mod is better when you're using afk s2m3?

[wicked viper]

its on the same batch

but modY is so forgettable

afk tend to switch target since you are killing mobs so ye

its mostly just

modX for mobbing
ModY for single target

but due to the nature of GG

you only use her for mobbing

since for single target you rather use like, ceobe or logos

[shell arch]

thanks. I'm considering to mod3 gg but I have logosdeeznuts to consider too

thanks for the comprehensive answer, chishasu. I really appreciate it

you too, yiran

[wicked viper]

its very unlikely for GG 2nd mod to be better

[keen rain]

just don't mod her, she's half dead by the time logos is here anyways

[shell arch]

I'm assuming worst case scenario where I probably don't get logosdeeznuts

I had p0 kaltits, 5 skalter
I almost had p0 vivi, p5 virtuosa
I am anticipating p0 logosdeeznuts, p5 walterwhite

[wicked viper]

wish granted

[keen rain]

Surely this time you will get 5 logos 0 walter

[shell arch]

[ivory leaf]

Vulcan or Indra🕴️

[merry narwhal]

you'll get another voucher later, so pick whichever you like more

[remote perch]

or flip a coin

[glass monolith]

Or keep it around in stash of not opened for no real reason stuff

[pure orchid]

for the collection flex fr

[shadow urchin]

is there a strategy in pulling?

[narrow pendant]

Choose what to pull, dont pull if youre broke

[split cloak]

Im running this blind. Planning on putting lin and virt s1 at bottom box, maybe degen too. And horns s1 to support top lane

[wary wing]

I mean amigo
p5 Wishadel p0 logos sounds like a W

[vivid rain]

Virt should be on top of ray to also support top lane tbh, degen bottom box might be good because of the spear guy that hit really hard down there, dont know what lin will do but i’ll prob be fine

[split cloak]

No ranged units at bottom box?

Lin is there for moral support and tanking cuz no healer lol

Ethan just trivializes the mechanics lol

[vivid rain]

Ethan alone might not be enough but lets just see how it goes

[polar crane]

there will be many ranged guys that go from top to bottom

but they deal mosquito damage

[north ravine]

how do you take down the 6 enemies that spawn here? it's h13-2

[split cloak]

Yep, those halberd guys are fast

Im placing la pluma with ethan lol

I wonder if thorns is the best pick there

[north ravine]

nope ethan does a great job there

[split cloak]

I’ll go with exalt this time

[split cloak]

No i mean, look at the ss

[north ravine]

blue poison with s1 can be good to if ethan can't solo the ceramics

[split cloak]

I'm placing la pluma, i dont have bp

Even humus just for good measure lol

[north ravine]

she could work

i remember i did mine with ethan and bp

[north ravine]

surtr can get 3 down but the other 3 destroy me

[split cloak]

Wait, newly completed annis dont add up to weekly reward?

[north ravine]

i think it didn't but i'm not sure

[split cloak]

Omg i could chonyue and mountain the top lane

It's brawlin time

Damn this brawler is strong

Why is he rated low

[north ravine]

chongyue? he's pretty good

[split cloak]

Wtf those vases need arts dmg

Who does that besides Ethan

I hope aosta

[north ravine]

nvm did it

[split cloak]

Damn aosta needs e2 for bleed?

[foggy grove]

no?

[split cloak]

Misleading af

[glass monolith]

That's "upgrades" at elite 2

[split cloak]

They need better presentation lol

[glass monolith]

DUDE I play this shit for 2.5 years i have fucking list of QoLs we got

[split cloak]

I'm glad an aosta ethan combo could work

[glass monolith]

It used to be 40 EXP ticket used at once

Single claim daily missions

No watch summon stats (on operator page)

No fucking seeing description of what talents/skills you have in combat

Also my 5* tag combo dropped so game is shit

[split cloak]

Lmao you need to let that out don't you

Dw

[split cloak]

Where can i place fiametta support here

I'm not using a melee support now

Idfk how she works with that wonky ass range

[glass monolith]

This is how i did that stage... I didn't knew you can kill spear dudes with moreeeeee arts damage so my megamind was blocking them

[split cloak]

Idk, they just died immediately for me. The problem was their daggers lol

[glass monolith]

Pusher to keep them in Ethan range

[split cloak]

Nah I'd just aosta and ethan it lol

[glass monolith]

If it works

[split cloak]

How does fia's s3 range work?

[glass monolith]

Also reminder you don't need to kill all daggers and shit, just need to survive till 400 kills then you can die to tokens if you like

[split cloak]

Never used her

Oh you can leak?

[glass monolith]

Fia S3 always attack same tile at middle 4 tiles in front

Enemy spawns don't count toward 400 kills. But they WILL reduce your hp and end stage prematurely

[split cloak]

Noted

[glass monolith]

And final wave is like 4-6 of spear dudes so yea, leaking them all the way won't do

[split cloak]

They just die immediately to lin lol

[glass monolith]

Back in m'day there was no Lin

[split cloak]

Hahahahaha, i just cycle between lin and reedic

[glass monolith]

Everything new makes everything old even more joke than it was as Ethan Weedy was possible on like 99% of stages

[split cloak]

And everything new to enemies is getting harder

Meta rises

[glass monolith]

Enemy get harder
This event boss literally failing to outdamage regen of clear water after being cleaned from dirt with good old HIT IT IN FACE 80+ TIMES

[split cloak]

But honestly, the new anni was easy

[glass monolith]

I expected camo guys to be more damage, guess i am still damaged by how powerful they were at some CM stage

[split cloak]

Oh god, i still havent touched cm stages

[hollow epoch]

How valuable is penance s2 masteries?

I wasnt very impressed with it at first but it seems like its used a decent amount in low ops runs where she solo laneholds

[narrow pendant]

Most solo/duo runs use s3 more

[vivid rain]

Penance s2 is honestly kinda niche

[tidal sedge]

any tips for optimizing stage 8 clear time for the event

[hollow epoch]

Other than kill all the rats fast?

[elfin salmon]

Could I have a list for AoE casters? I'm having trouble figuring out which ones are AoE and which aren't.

[vivid rain]

12F, lava, gitano, leonhart, lava again, skyfire, dusk and mostima

None of them is relevant enough to warrant investment but lava (the 3 stars one) is fine if you lack aoe option

Also splash casters will have an icon showing their class in their operator page

They also have ridiculously high dp cost for no reason

[glass monolith]

There is also Blast casters who have true aoe in line But normally when we shit on AoE casters we mean Splash one

[tidal sedge]

how? just use a ranged unit I assume?

[hollow epoch]

Ye you spam ranged units that can either beeg damage or cc the rats via stun slow sleep etc.

As long as the second last or last rat dies (either or) youre gucci

[eager vale]

Doesnt have to be ranged. Mlynar works. Even Gavialter s2 works i think?

https://youtu.be/zLTWEXVYDHo?si=Gd3U2nx6D2_mciet

Like so

[tidal sedge]

thanks

[elfin salmon]

Should I be taking my vanguards out once I have enough DP for my Defenders?

[eager vale]

You take out your vanguards when you don't need additional DP generation anymore. That's their whole schtick

[verbal sparrow]

shu S1 stomps Saria so hard
the continuous autoheal + sanctuary

powercreeping is a bit too much

[vital arrow]

Just tap their subclass icon and read their trait

[wintry hinge]

will this work?

The duplicated are strategic deloyments

[mighty pagoda]

thats a lot of operators used

[wintry hinge]

I wanna stable strat

[mighty pagoda]

i use kaltsit virtuosa texas alter and random blocker

[wintry hinge]

Virtuosaless

[mighty pagoda]

pretty sure monster and ceobe can solo the boss and mobs

on top

[wintry hinge]

Top?

[mighty pagoda]

ye top lane

[wintry hinge]

the top tiles ?

[mighty pagoda]

and random blocker with texas alter is enough for bottom

mudrock worked for me, executor alter too, zuo le will probably also work

[mighty pagoda]

i mean mobs coming from the top, together with the boss

80 res in phase 1 lmao

i mean it gets reduced surely its not that hard with ceobe and monster

also my s3 is m1

[carmine vine]

How to get shu role

[mighty pagoda]

#here-a-people-sows

[carmine vine]

We win

[mighty pagoda]

i will go try with ceobe surely its doable

[carmine vine]

What are you trying to do

[mighty pagoda]

replacing virtuosa with ceobe

apparently virtuosa op against drones

wtf is the boss damage anyway, he just one shots monster lmao

ok this is good enough i guess

any blocker on bottom will do, and any aoe instead of highmore to kill drones on ceobe

[cyan gorge]

My HS-9 auto is just Ines, GG, Penance

[mighty pagoda]

mine is virtuosa kaltsit mudrock and texas alter

im not sure i even have to use texas alter but whatever

virtuosa makes this boss pretty easy huh

[white prairie]

Is this squad good enough for ending 4 in difficulty 9?

[rocky kelp]

should be

no FrD is a little rough tho

just make sure you lower yellow hp early so you can use ray on red later as well

[white prairie]

Reduce yellow health

Kill mobs

Reduce red health

Burst the two of them fast

Win

Ok

-proceeds to lose-

[rocky kelp]

you can even kill yellow early if you want to tbh, you just need to have ray ready to kill the red b4 he goes super speed

[white prairie]

I almost won

But I just lacked arts damage and gg S2 wasn't the best skill for this level

But still, it was very good since I left them with just 10% HP left each

With no luck in offensive relics

So it's very possible

Anyways, thanks for the recommendation

[scarlet fulcrum]

I heard gg s1 better has good dps

[cosmic thicket]

[split cloak]

Anyone have a fiammeta s3m3 as their support here?

[mild wind]

when she arrives at shoperator i will

[bronze haven]

Second chapter boss fight..

[narrow pendant]

[scarlet fulcrum]

Alex has very low defense, just kill accordingly

[narrow pendant]

Wonder if its 2nd chapter as in ch2
Or 2nd chapter counting ch0 as first

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ch0 just prologue

[bronze haven]

Alex?

Don’t you mean skullshatter?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah

[rocky summit]

Alex is his legal name

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its recommended not to block his meele atk

[rocky summit]

he does a little loop around before going into the blue box so don't block him so he goes away

[bronze haven]

Oh

[rocky summit]

also yeah when he's blocked, he does a melee atk that does full damage

his ranged grenades do much less damage

[bronze haven]

Uh huh

[pseudo plume]

Guys, is ling good? (I don't really know much about it since I'm not that far in the game yet)

[polar crane]

yeah really good for new player when she's e2

[mild wind]

a single yato e1 sl7 can no diff 2-10 and 3-8 alex, cant she

[scarlet fulcrum]

3-8 misha

[mild wind]

:imstuff:

so yeah, frd or afk laneholder. choose your brainrot

[sly drift]

Diff 13. This illusion of the sand stage just gatekeep me for four good attempts now. This stage design is absolute nonsense

[narrow pendant]

Yk ines sentry should be 1 tile up facing left

[sly drift]

Where

[narrow pendant]

Wym where

Ines, 1 tile up, face left to reveal the invis archers propperly

[sly drift]

Only to get one shotted by snipers? Good

The problem is just damage

Not enough damage

[sullen rover]

blud

ines sentinel reveals the archer

so you can idk kill him

[sly drift]

You CANT sustain any ops dude.

More global snipers will spawn on far left

[sullen rover]

why are you leaving ur ops in the sand

theres 2 builder use them

[sly drift]

I used them

[sullen rover]

okay? so how are ur ops dying

[fathom mesa]

Why are you not using the dagger to reveal the snipers

[sly drift]

The thing is that if I use thr builder on middle rock. Enemy will pathing in up lane,not middle lane anymore

[fathom mesa]

Put the sentinel on the tile where the dominion is right now facing up

Two tiles get revealed and enemies always path through there

[sly drift]

Tbh the main problem is actually the hologram dude. He is tanky, no joke

It just not enough damage dealt by ally that is safe from storm

And if you put any ops in storm. It's a damn instakill by sniper. And you just cant kill sniper until it revealed by ines in near blue box

And the fact that where will the storm is coming from is random

[neat crow]

um, can someone tell me what the heck happened here

[scarlet fulcrum]

Those are ur allies

From concord

[neat crow]

no i mean

why are the blue and red boxes swapped

[sly drift]

Wait

[scarlet fulcrum]

Does he know

[neat crow]

am i screwed fml

[sly drift]

Is this altered version or something I haven't seen this ending either

Pathing looks practically the same though. Just probably stronger enemies

[opaque kraken]

Ye it's alter ed 2 ijbol

[neat crow]

omg it's completely different enemies

Wow.

I think that just killed my entire interest in AK. welp.

[scarlet fulcrum]

there is another chance

[neat crow]

?

[scarlet fulcrum]

???

[neat crow]

What do you mean, another chance?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Not like u uninstall game after this

[neat crow]

I could

[scarlet fulcrum]

even for me, i still hunting ed1 alter. Thats the point of roguelike

[neat crow]

Do you get anything for clearing the alter stage?

[scarlet fulcrum]

i do it in my own pace

Not really

[neat crow]

Yeah. I'm already busy af, cuz I'm a medical student.

And this entire run was just a waste of time. Unfortunate.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah thats it, its perma mode so

[dapper hedge]

The strat doesn't change for Ed2 alter anyway

You still just stall, this one much easier than whatever tf they smoking with sentinel and ed1 alter

[sly drift]

Outside CC and DOS S-3, Sentinel so far is the most nonsense stage this game ever have

[wintry hinge]

And Ed4?

[sly drift]

Sentinel (Ed 3) and Into Eternity (ed 4) are both ridiculously hard to beat. But I personally think that Sentinels is harder because that 5s window of invulnerable boss timing. Along with stupidly tanky mobs that literaly rushing nonstop.

[noble pewter]

Is it nonsense only for d15 or even low d

[sly drift]

The stage in lower difficulty is called "Gardener" (ed3) and "Sand of Time" (ed4). Different set of enemies and way easier.

Well.. It's still hard at some point. But altered boss stage is just on different level lmao.

[celest bluff]

RA is about to come again fuck yeah

[narrow pendant]

Fuck yeah indeed

[lapis hornet]

cringest mode maybe I'll figure out how it works this time zzz

[narrow pendant]

Im looking forward to it, permanent, not time-gated gamemodw i can play however long i want

wonder if my dreams will be crushed

[sly drift]

The mode that only liked by 6% of all players will going perma

[shell arch]

Is 6% of all player including reroll accounts?

We know some nerds out there has thousands of account

[pure orchid]

interesting perspective

[glass monolith]

Well there is always magic option of "jsut don't"

[sly drift]

It based on statistic of EN RA1 players.
Around 6%-8% iirc

[glass monolith]

Does it include players who commited sudoku to farm points instead playing?

[latent monolith]

Where was this survey conducted I don't remember it

[scarlet fulcrum]

6% actually quite high

Is3 just 1.smt%

[lapis hornet]

no way

link?

there's no way ppl ike ra more than is lol

[pure orchid]

i mean

fuck is3

drafting reserve ops for days on end is not fun

[weak gazelle]

wow 6% for RA
bet how much RA 2 would have?

[scarlet fulcrum]

D15

Literally on stream

[lapis hornet]

oh that's not the same thing tho

[scarlet fulcrum]

Welp idk

[lapis hornet]

it's like high risk cc there's no point other than self challenge and street creds

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can also grab RA rewards then done

[lapis hornet]

like I never figured how ra even works the maps are confusing af they're gigantic it's all fogged wtf you're supposed to do

you can only use your units like idr twice? lmao

[scarlet fulcrum]

So RA harder?

[lapis hornet]

idk about harder it's just confusing

like what the game flow's supposed to be like

the tutorial didn't explain jack it's p unintuitive to play

like is it's just regular maps ra you're thrown in the middle of a totally different game with no explanation lol

[weak gazelle]

meanwhile i give up RA right from the tutorial
cant understand a thing about that

[scarlet fulcrum]

Fair enough

[glass monolith]

You don't have shit
You don't see shit
Figure it out

[sly drift]

True. RA has the worst tutorial on any gacha games I've ever played. Only second to limbus company

[lapis hornet]

ya it's why I stopped limbus p fast even though the old strat crowd loved that game lol

also terrible ui on phone didn't help game was made for pc smh

[weak gazelle]

i try once and suddenly got raided by morbillion mobs
like wtf happened?💀

[lapis hornet]

the funny thing is

iirc in the tuto it's like oh look there's a lake go hunt there

and the map looks p small right

then in the mode itself the map's like 20x bigger lmao

I dropped a mudrock bro died in 20 seconds

?!

[weak gazelle]

yeah maps are huge bait
and vaguely tell anything
it just what am i suppose to do?

[odd forge]

yehey

[glass monolith]

Tutorial tried but it failed to point out any of RA features like building on ANY maps instead just your base, touching water, etc

[river quest]

hello, i just returned to playing arknights again, is there a definitive squad you should use to clear maps? if so, can y'all help me create one?

[noble pewter]

e2 n s2m3 mountain cause he strong, e2 amiya for campaign purposes, flametail e2 maybe for strong pioneer, rest kinda meh maybe

[scarlet fulcrum]

id reroll for shu or zuole (or both)

[noble pewter]

maybe nearl for healing defender, cliffheart as puller maybe

[acoustic slate]

Why are you giving bad advice? They don’t even have e1. Amiya is terrible to use until she’s e2 and chapter 8 is a long way away, and skippable. Flametail is bad until e2. Nearl is expensive and cliffheart barely needs investment to function on the rate occasion that they are needed.

They should get tequila and kroos alter and build strong 3/4 stars

But you rather reroll for shu/zou le and then pick Lappland and silence from the selectors

[scarlet fulcrum]

This guy has big chance for good 6* rate up streak too if rerolling now

Ela and reedic around corner i meant

[acoustic slate]

Yeah

[river quest]

so should i abandon this account and reroll in a new account?

[pure orchid]

Ideally yes

[noble pewter]

i was working on the premise of the screenshot only but ya sure reroll n get stronger ops why not

[pure orchid]

Dont need to if u dont want to tho

[acoustic slate]

You don’t have to by any means, but it would give you a much stronger start

[odd forge]

lets goooo

[pure orchid]

Wow beagle in jt8-3

[river quest]

i've had this account since like last year and i just returned to it so i'd rather not reroll now

[acoustic slate]

How far have you actually gotten though

[pure orchid]

It looks like it was just made yesterday ngl

[river quest]

i'm just in s2-7

[acoustic slate]

That’s like 2-3 hours

[river quest]

eh i dropped it because i was playing too much gacha so i wasn't that interested, but i've got more time now so im picking this up again

[acoustic slate]

Not to mention that you don’t need to delete your current account

[scarlet fulcrum]

Also i assume u picked wrong selector too (nearl and prama)

[river quest]

yeah i just picked who looks nicer for me

aight ill reroll then

[acoustic slate]

You can just bind the winning reroll to a different email or something. Might even be able to keep the seeded one idk

[scarlet fulcrum]

GL hf

[pure orchid]

See you in a few hours solider

[river quest]

thanks for the advice

[grizzled otter]

Shu borrow

[odd forge]

yes, its pretty fun to use her

ah i forgor her equip module ptilopsis lol

[sharp swallow]

I have two questions. Firstly, how do you deal with the fire dudes? 25 hits for one unblock-able is crazy, and there’s like 5 usually. Second, is Ethan S1 worth considering for this stage?

[surreal star]

ethan s1 is the usual recommendation for this map

just put him somewhere near the back

[sharp swallow]

Oh dang, I’ve been using S2 for about two hours

[glass monolith]

They have 0 weight so Weedy S2 can keep them forever, Ethan S1 is true aoe arts DoT so works on everything at once. Only issue will be fire dude going red stair path, i don't know how to deal with him legitimely as i just Gladiia S1M3 (+ Ange S3) cheese that side

[scarlet mortar]

ethan S1 is the entire reason you bring ethan at all here

he's the cheapest source of DoT that will reliably hit everything

[river quest]

if rerolling for the limited banner, which stage should i stop playing and to pull?

[eager vale]

i think most just roll the daily + free 10pull then rinse and repeat

[river quest]

so i should just hope for a 10 pity 6*?

[eager vale]

10 pity what?

btw are you from the Philippines?

[river quest]

yeah

[eager vale]

figured as much. username checks out
kabayan o/

[river quest]

o7

[eager vale]

but yeah just hope for a 6 star or two from the first 11 pulls you do

[acoustic slate]

You can get 2 more pulls (IIRC) from doing the first level and tutorial but it’s probably not worth the time

[river quest]

so i should skip the newbie banner and just pull straight on the limited?

[eager vale]

yes

newbie banner kinda mid anyway. you can pick that up later once you get the start you want

[river quest]

aight thanks ill do that then

got shu on my 2nd reroll

is this a good start now?

[pure orchid]

yea shu alone is good enough

you've also got matoi which is arguably melantha with longer shelf life (she can retire in base)

[ionic ingot]

can someone help me build a team comp im a pretty casual player and would like some guidance

dm me if u wanna help

[glass monolith]

Teambuilding in bot-spam give general summary of team building - Have some of everything. Low rarity cheaper to upgrade and can get quick access to friend support of better units (Friend support level gated behind your highest promotion in current squad)

[ripe girder]

Phew. That was hard but finally beat it

Typhon btw earlier was where Iris is. I placed her there just to kill "First who talked"

[ionic ingot]

ah thanks

can i send you my operator list for reccomendations?

[glass monolith]

Sure. Sort by rarity and feel free to ask in #help / #strategy

[glass monolith]

Could have dropped it here too I'm surprised you have so many e1s and only 2 e2. Virtuosa S3 quickly stacks her thing on everyone in range. Suzu S3 can slow everyone and increase others damage. Degen S3 is nuke button. Zuo S3 is nuke button. Typhon S2 for afk / S3 for nuke. Not to mention doing masteries to increase effect of skills even more

Which is better priority for stuff is question i sadly don't really specialize in

[ionic ingot]

here

[ionic ingot]

i just need the levels for virtuosa e2 i have the materials

[barren ruin]

Hi I just started today, got Shu and suzuran( idk if their r good? Should I continue or reroll for anyone?), which 5 star should I pick from the operator selector

[distant bone]

Hi, I'm a new player and trying to clear stage 9 of Invitation to Wine but am struggling to do so, any tips

[ionic ingot]

all i did was spam the crap out of multi hit operators

[distant bone]

my squad is a definitely underlevelled so I'm also wondering if someone can friend me for a support unit

[distant bone]

im having a hard time killing the dragons first phase 💀

[glass monolith]

You can obtain Kroos without potential already from IW, i would farm current event for its shop

[distant bone]

current squad 😔

[distant bone]

I've bought out what I currently need in the shop, will go back to grinding the event once I beat iw9

[glass monolith]

I wonder if Zuo Le barrier can outcope IW boss

[delicate flare]

hi a new player

[glass monolith]

Surtr might not be best option because if i recall right boss is little healthy as hell to have her chip him to death

[distant bone]

the only reason why surtr is dying is because @delicate flare didnt level her enough

💔

[delicate flare]

[ionic ingot]

my squad is so half assed

its so random lol

[delicate flare]

where ethan

ethan e1 level 1 is enough for IW-9

[eager vale]

Try yato s3 support and slot in ethan s1 on your team if you really wanna beat iw9?

[distant bone]

thats a good question!

[glass monolith]

If it works it works

[delicate flare]

[ionic ingot]

barely…

its causing me loss of braincells

[distant bone]

ethan back

[glass monolith]

Well you have more that enough operators to patch any holes in strategy, just need to identify where something doesnt work and what will work

[delicate flare]

send vod

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1001594137532956762.gif?quality=lossless&size=48

[distant bone]

what vod

[ionic ingot]

can you help me throw together a good all round team with what i have for general and then i should be able to go from there

[glass monolith]

Hard to answer your team up there looks decent. Maybe another vanguard in place of maybe Amyia (I assume Virtuosa, Kjara and Lapp will handle all Arts damage needs) so you have DP for deploying quicker. If you have troubles it will be probably more stage specific. Enemy composition/stage design/CM conditions etc often force trying other operators/strategies

[ionic ingot]

i think i will replace amiya with elysium

[glass monolith]

As option. S1 generate more DP. S2 is generates less but adds DEF debuff to nearby enemies and reveal invis (Good mix with Kroos S2, Elysium talent (But i forgot at which promotion he obtain it) will make her reach 4 hits faster too)

Reveal invis probably won't do much this event because pure amount of invis enemies in water

"You revealed 4, there is 30 more coming"

[ionic ingot]

makes sense

[ionic ingot]

@glass monolith for a future lineup, how is this looking?

sending

[glass monolith]

It looks good. If you have problems with specific enemy/stage you can always ask for assist to figure which stuff benefits

[ionic ingot]

wait did it send?

i cant see it

[glass monolith]

Like you have good roster it is hard to go wrong. Need to start second promoting more

No it didn't for me

[ionic ingot]

im praying to the router gods that my wifi works

i want to swap bassline out for either nearl or saria in the future

[glass monolith]

Nightingale want promotions for talents/bigger heals, Typhon want promotions for talents and bigger hits

[ionic ingot]

yeah

the range on nightingale is lacking at e0

but this is just a team so i know who to improve

im gonna use my old one until i do

[scarlet mortar]

if you need a carry op to borrow, take yato S3

she deletes the dragon for free

[cedar latch]

Which dragon? The IW9 dragon?

[glass monolith]

There was guy 2 hours ago stuck on IW9 with access to e2 supports

[grand iron]

I keep dying to phase 3 of boss 🥹 at IW-9…

Plz help

[scarlet fulcrum]

Tank laser with 1 lane only, borrow yato alter for maximum brainrot

S3

[grand iron]

Yato alter? If he can one hit boss phase 3 then ye sure why not

If not then I am gonna try beating it again

If

[scarlet fulcrum]

spam her s3

She is fast redeploy

Tank laser first, should be fine with 1 lane

Reedic also easy carry if u have her s2 in support

Yeah spot and ansel survive

[heavy scroll]

First time I've been able to clear an event in its entirety without borrowed units since I've started playing a few weeks back. Took like an hour to figure out how to make HS-9 work

And now I can start farming the mats I desperately need yaaay 🎊

[analog quarry]

Waz better for general use s2 or s3 zuo le?

[foggy grove]

s2

[mild wind]

ough, i didnt think e0 sl4 shu wouldnt suffice against stank water

ig im still wound to 3op or find someone else to hold mid

[celest bluff]

just bring a medic

like you dont need that vanguard

[mild wind]

theyre trust leeches

[celest bluff]

do you need a 200 trust 3 star vanguard?

[mild wind]

do i need to? no

do i want to?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Maybe no need grain buds, she is e0 there

I just slapped with what u have

[mild wind]

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah indeed

[odd forge]

she will help you

for kills big rats

[ancient hatch]

Virtuosa rerun when

[polar zodiac]

never

[glass monolith]

You will have opportunity to off banner her on limited celebration banners starting with first celebration 2025 (Because 1 year delay before they appear on offbanner she won't happen in second celebration 2024)

[opaque aspen]

Anyone got any strat or tips for the mountain rigged annihilation? I cant get my head around the fact i'm somehow supposed to tank with casters and snipers

[narrow pendant]

Dont know what u have
But gladia s1 solos bottom left
Mudrock solos top left
And slap bunch of aoe on botton right

[opaque aspen]

Glad i dont have any of those (appart from gladi but havent built her yet)

Hold on lemme link my roster i posted a while back

#help message

This is the map layout for those that don't see which anni it is

[narrow pendant]

Seems possible without too much issue

If u could raise fiametta that be even more perfect cuz shes really good in here

Gladia only needs sl4 so u dont even need to raise her

[opaque aspen]

Nice i'll try that out, who should i put for top lane?

[glass monolith]

There will be invisible dudes with big hit when leaving invis. I seen many people just leave Mudrock at blue box

[opaque aspen]

Except i dont have mudrock :l i could invest 3 characters in (def, dps and healer, i dont see a guard tanking those hits honestly other than specter, and she doesnt deal enough damage)

Sa with a small burt dps like archetto s2 spammed or eyja s2 would work (although eyja is far better at nuking the field anyway and archetto needs enemies inbetween bursts to spam anyway)

[stark kiln]

u can borrow a mudrock

[opaque aspen]

Oh right i wont have to auto it anyway, completly forgor

Finally in what order should i set things?

[scarlet fulcrum]

U dont need mudrock

[stark kiln]

focus on bottom right then gladiia and mudrock can be last

well it makes it easy for top lane

[scarlet fulcrum]

Top lane not the main issue tbh, and that squad fine to delete top

[stark kiln]

what does he use at the top

i would use mudrock since he will be able to focus his main squad on the bottom left if he doesnt plan on raising fiametta

[odd forge]

neat, its easy than i thought, it took me 2 tries

[odd forge]

this is im using squad for 10-17

[river quest]

oh

[winged heath]

no melantha? 🥲

[heavy scroll]

I think I have Jaye taking the role of anything Melantha would be useful for

[wild sail]

Hmm, I can't remember which ops were good for RA other than Dorothy. Was there a guide somewhere or...?

[glass monolith]

Place operators to reveal stuff within their vision range. Knowing maps you can go straight hunting for loot. Some loot block deployable tiles making it extra obvious it is there.

[primal fossil]

Hey guys zou le S1 S2 or S3 M3?

[glass monolith]

H11-4 with scuffed strat #strategy message

[marsh sapphire]

Shu Virt Degen carried me this entire map

If lack heal put Eyja2

Ah, read H11-4 as 11-4
Hqve not done that one yet, but shouldnt be that bad

[glass monolith]

Well compared to H stages of over chapters in this arc of bizzare adventure of Chen friends H11 probably chillest out of them all

[marsh sapphire]

Lol, I see

[glass monolith]

As long as you have ways to stop boss

[marsh sapphire]

I will just burst the boss

[glass monolith]

Well that's one way

[neon saddle]

Hello im stuck in HS-5, can anyone share some wisdom. Im newbie and dumb 🙏

I did same strategy as this with diffrent characters, but the rats passed through at some point and my aoe gets killed and i get overwhelmed

https://youtu.be/XUQxJXAgJg4?si=joi3wmVOipdB0CsA

[vivid rain]

You can put a few more operators toward the rat area to kill them

[neon saddle]

In the water or

Oh behind the shield

[vivid rain]

As long as they can hit the rat and not staying in the red water

Eckogen prob used ranger with max trust which gives a lot of atk, you can replace ranger with any dps of choice as long as they can kill the rat

[neon saddle]

Okay i will try boss man

Is it worth level up this jessica?

My ranger not a lot

The healer i use is from support

[vivid rain]

Nah dont use jessica

You can try using a splash dps

Since the rat clumps up

Lava should works plenty fine

[neon saddle]

Wait i try and see if i can make magic happen

[neon saddle]

Yes it worked thank you!

[vivid rain]

Np

[narrow pendant]

Now he'll be back for hs6/7

[neon saddle]

🤣

[night osprey]

[neon saddle]

Wait is it possible for me to do it without e1 heroes?

[night osprey]

maybe

[neon saddle]

My average hero level is 30/40

[night osprey]

i think you need to E1 them

[neon saddle]

Noo sad, i think my mats maybe not enough

[narrow pendant]

U should start e1

[neon saddle]

I e1 kroos for now already

And steward

The rest idk who to e1. Im working to e1 mountain?

[eager vale]

e1 your mountain while guard chips are available so he can start being useful

[night osprey]

yes

[neon saddle]

Where can i find guard chips?

[eager vale]

supply stages? whatever they're called

[night osprey]

here

[neon saddle]

Thanks guys

[night osprey]

remember to bring guard and specialist

[shut hazel]

or you can exchange it wwith your specialist chip at factory

[narrow pendant]

Which is sanity inefficient so u shouldnt do it unless youre desperatw

[neon saddle]

Bring in my team?

[pure orchid]

where else would u bring them lol

[night osprey]

yes

you just need shaw to push enemy

[neon saddle]

Oh lol okay

Im seeing guide, most of the heroes they have is e1

Should i also upgrade my heroes to e1?

[night osprey]

you should e1 them

[river quest]

can anyone help me get a stable squad? i can't get past 2-7 lol my skill is lacking

[neon saddle]

My materials not enough to e1 everyone lol rip

I think i cooked my account

[night osprey]

just e1 mountain

or you strongest operator

[night osprey]

can i see you recent squad?

[river quest]

this is what i've been using

[acoustic slate]

LMD/EXP poverty is normal when you’re new

[neon saddle]

Yes im broke

[mild wind]

you can consider this @river quest

[night osprey]

ok wait im kinda forgot the stage lmao

[acoustic slate]

What is causing you to leak or die?

[neon saddle]

I level up but is already late idk if better grind or sleep

[mild wind]

shaw makes it push everyone off ledge hence oneshot, otherwise not needed

[night osprey]

ah yes

[mild wind]

spot can be replaced with shu

[night osprey]

the main problem dtage 2-7 is the defense drone

[mild wind]

marksmen no diff them so theres kroos and may

[river quest]

i'm getting swarmed so though i can tank the damage, more than 3 enemies on my defenders and they pass through it

[night osprey]

yep they have low def

[river quest]

let me try

[mild wind]

youre likely swarmed because the drone is buffing their DEF so theyre harder to kill

[night osprey]

focus on the defense drone

[acoustic slate]

Change Amiya for lava

[tidal sedge]

i wanna solve a skissue I've been having for too long now so
should i be nuking jt8-3 talulah's first phase asap with my boss killers or do i let her move a little bit? i can't tell what's going wrong since im using crutch units and still sucking lmao

[river quest]

ill try that now

[mild wind]

you want to clear the waves before deleting her p1

[tidal sedge]

ahh that's why I'm losing then

I was nuking her first phase before she even got past the first little area and just trying to defend from both the waves and the fire

[mild wind]

guardmiya and NG can stall p2 (hopefully)

wait i think last waves spawn after p2 dies

[tidal sedge]

im using way better units so i think that one thing was the sole reason i haven't been beating this

[mild wind]

i do wonder if you can clear waves during p1 fireballs with texas yato

i used old units so it was certainly hell

[night osprey]

how hard talulah fight?

and which chapter that i will fight her?

[mild wind]

ch8

[dapper hedge]

8

[night osprey]

ouh after patriot then

[mild wind]

[tidal sedge]

I tried that but they die to the fireballs too quickly afaik

mightve been skissue

btw what's her path on the right side

I can't tell where she ends up each time

[river quest]

i would've passed 2-7 if not due to my game crashing

[night osprey]

lmao

game mt right now

[mild wind]

[night osprey]

come back in 5 mins

[solid pier]

not that hard if you have chonky meat shields+nightingale, especially for jt8-3 and h8-4

[flat sapphire]

Ideally u have NG and the less units u have on the field the better, u want to avoid placing ur units adjacent to each other and bring at least 2 fast redeploys to bait burning breath

NG cage with s3 can shield an entire fire wave iirc

[night osprey]

noted thx guys

[glass monolith]

It was decently hard for me because i was new to AK and rushing main story for uh... "Why not". I was guideless and clueless... After which my brain rot expanded and i found out tile from which i can Chalter (I started in 2022 and got lucky on her banner) Talulah

[modern night]

Is there complete information about this RA Map?

[glass monolith]

Tree in middle, enemies move between waters, ballistas on walls, if it is unchanged from RA1

[night osprey]

i wonder if ntrk can stall talulah

[glass monolith]

Well she has decent health pool so why not, with enough medics

[modern night]

Thank You... Is there any detailed information about the other maps? I intend to focus on playing this mode

[night osprey]

well I'm gonna test my theory then

but before that i must beat frostnova and patriot

[glass monolith]

I am not big guide player, but i assume there is because we had cheat sheets for RA1 when it run. Perhaps CN have one and someone know link for it

[karmic glade]

not bad first week

[narrow pendant]

Im already on day 12, this shit wonky

[karmic glade]

if you rush this game mode you would suffer once the boss comes, it is at fixed time, but now baby mode is here it should not be a big problem

[narrow pendant]

I dont even know what to do, i go unga bunga

[karmic glade]

did you even get stone mining license

[glass monolith]

Main question: Have they fixed egg reflect not damaging tower units?

[narrow pendant]

Should i know what that is

[narrow pendant]

No

I think

[sly drift]

Bros literally playing RA at 2am eh💀

[karmic glade]

press this button to see quests

[narrow pendant]

It just tells me to explore, probably to that green square

What even happens if u lose the base

Like, the defending rhing

[karmic glade]

you get reset to the last save

spoiler for the first quest route: ||Gathering feather -> Treasure in the tree -> Encounter -> Within range -> Drink water as bait -> Skirmish||

[narrow pendant]

Im at the skirmish now

Guess im doing that next

[narrow patrol]

Should be able to. I’ve seen 5 star nearl tank Talulah with a little nightingale help

[night osprey]

yeah not to mention ntrk S3 + module

[cinder walrus]

Farming ls-6 or convert sanity into drone and drone exp?

[glass monolith]

Or be normal person and use sanity on event shops and skill books and AP farm and rock farm?

[narrow patrol]

Why waste sanity on LS-6?

[supple widget]

Maybe not the right place to ask but help just confused me

But should I upgrade Panacea on Kal to 3?

[warm haven]

Am trying to clear 2-10 for a while now, and this is the team I usually run, should I make changes to it?

or is this just a skill issue on my part?

[polar crane]

borrow kalstit
she kinda solo left side with her summon

[warm haven]

don't got kal'tsit

[polar crane]

support unit is borrowing

[warm haven]

am trying to refresh support units until she appears

[warm haven]

oh mb

didn't know that was what you meant lol

update: kal'tsit wasn't available but magallan soloed

[cyan gorge]

Level 2 is enough if short on blocks

[supple widget]

[stable canyon]

I am doing something deeply wrong in RA. I'm not generating enough resources to build my base or anything 😅

[sage goblet]

dam... i can't stop an invasion because enemies rush through the map before i can even put down myrtle

[sage goblet]

nvm i just needed to wait till they reach an interception outpost

[spare raven]

bring at least one vanguard on your team 😭

to generate DP around the start of the battle

[bitter grotto]

dud i hade 300 per 3days xD

[gray axle]

https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv21529109/ try this

[bitter grotto]

can anyone help me to find stones?

[gray axle]

with how RA1 was received with hate by cn/global it will take time for RA2 to get some info as it's not something everyone does.

just wait and pray

[remote perch]

find them in resources nodes

[modest pewter]

how do you get stone ? i see on reddit you need like 50 ish rice but what does it have to do with stone ?

okay nevermind i just didnt the guy whole post

[remote perch]

When you first encounter this stage

It makes you choose between paying 50 rice or battle them

Winning the battle will allow you to mine stone

Im assume paying 50 rice do the same thing

[modest pewter]

yeah just saw the crane thing after i read it more carefully

thanks again

[split cloak]

Any tips for watery tide hollow or frozen abandoned city?

Idk which one’s easier

I just beat this on my blind run first try lmao

Well, i tried a while back but died at 50s

[celest bluff]

How are you mf so fast

[split cloak]

Eyjalt is broken af. Do i brink eyjalt support on watery tidehollow?

[scarlet fulcrum]

With those ops? No need, but sure. Will borrow dps instead

[modest pewter]

what squad did you use to fight the stone guy ? towering pass i mean

is the boss immune to fear ? im not sure if i wanna do this blind and start the whole thing again

[forest lagoon]

borrow texalter s3 to kill the egg and flower for watery tideholow and to kill the exploding spider in frozen abandoned city.

[remote perch]

you know the flying miniboss in IS2? its this
he isn't really immune to anything

[remote perch]

This is what i used

Take in mind that the stage will swarm you immediately with mobs, so you better be fast

[modest pewter]

how about the blue box how do you protect that thing there is really no choke point in there

[modest pewter]

aight thanks i can copy that not sure about the manticore but i might change it to something else

[remote perch]

Just encounter the enemy here

The slow from Manticore + Mizuki is enough to kill most mobs before they get out of range
Reed and Virtousa will kill the rest

You really need to be careful of the rush, like they really rush you fast

boss is whatever, Shu just shut him down

[modest pewter]

alright

[split cloak]

Never tried a frd on an anni. Let's try this one out

[river atlas]

For destroying Command Points in RA2, anyone have any notably effective setups? I've been using nearlter s1/exusiai s3 + a bunch of buffers so far but idk what i'm doing to be honest

[bitter grotto]

? waht i do here?

[stable canyon]

Wait is the default challenge mode???

[split cloak]

What's the robot timer? Robot tag got killed

[narrow pendant]

3:50

[scarlet fulcrum]

Default is normal mode

Standard is EZ mode

[karmic vector]

how do i deal with ranged caster? theyre wrecking my operators

this is the squad i use

[timid schooner]

ewwww red water shu not approved

[glass monolith]

For right side casters try to duel them with Melantha on regen tile, i am not sure how much levels she need for it. Left side casters will be focused over defense dudes because their shorter path to blue box so just have sniper look at them and they might die before attacking anything

[lost summit]

Will this do for The annihilation or am I missing something?

Fia is s3m3 mod 3

M3 Lin and rosmontis too

Have surtr and texalter for backup

[dapper hedge]

Get ethan

w/ s1

[lost summit]

Mizuki is there

He's under the fia explode thing

[dapper hedge]

Mizukinisnt dot

[lost summit]

Oh it's a dot thing?

K I'll look into it ty

[lost summit]

I... Don't have ethan

[scarlet mortar]

he's in the red cert shop

his main job's to clear the later waves of tokens which take like 20+ hits

[lost summit]

Ah ok I see

I was very confused because I have a very large roster of characters

Thought I was just unlucky lol

[graceful geyser]

How to get rid of skill issue for stage hs ex 7? I tried to follow a guide but I don't have e2s3 mylnar in my support function

[stone silo]

i am having trouble clearing m8-6 with secret ending, is there any chance i could use a support unit to make it much easier? what operator could help out?

[shell arch]

M8-6 is the shieldguard & losmontis? I forgor

[stone silo]

i need to keep those defenders alive

[shell arch]

Old times used to push and pull a specific elite enemy to the backrow so the front row survived

Shaw & rope are enough

Nowadays you can use fiametta s3 horn s1

[stone silo]

i tried that but they die before i have the chance, is there any way to heal them at all?

[shell arch]

Angelina talent & perfurmer

But they don't really help

Your best chances are the solutions I've mentioned earlier

[stone silo]

alright thx

[shell arch]

Manage your pusher & puller accordingly so the elite gets pushed back

Cliffheart s2 doesn't have the range so you need rope s2 instead

Not sure about gladiia s2, I haven't checked

[shell arch]

Do you need mlynar e2 lvl90 s3m3? I can put it on support if you want

[graceful geyser]

yeee i do kinda need him to solve skill issues lmao, but honestly u sure?

[shell arch]

You can remove me once you're done with the stage

Ayatane#7984 or #7983 i forgor

It's with maxpot shining skalter

Sec, let me change to mlynar

[graceful geyser]

uuuuh does servers matter?

[shell arch]

You're in EN hell with me

So no

[remote perch]

i mean obviously lol
different servers has different updates

you can't just add a CN player when you're a EN since CN is 6 months advance

[shell arch]

I already put mlynar. Waiting for your request

[graceful geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-strange-doctor-depression-lonely-alone-gif-22077029

[graceful geyser]

i think we are in different servers

[remote perch]

does your server has the Tales within the sand update
is it in English, i mean the language is the most obvious way to tell which server you are

[shell arch]

[graceful geyser]

yes to both

[remote perch]

then you're in EN, which is the same server as Amigo

theres only 4 server in this game

CN, JP, EN and TW

CN and JP are easy to tell apart cuz its language is fixed, it can't be in English language
EN, well the language is in English
I actually have no clue what language TW uses, but its update is way behind ours, so they don't have the Tales within the sand update

so if your game is in English and have the Tales within the Sand update, then your automatically at EN server, which majority of the people in this server is in

[graceful geyser]

i'm so sorry, i should have asked which server u were one before

[remote perch]

always assume all people here are in the same server

[shell arch]

We're on EN

Only some nerds play CN

Rarely plays JP

Almost no one plays TW

[graceful geyser]

oh? then why isn't ur name not showing when i searching u up then?

[shell arch]

Ayatane

You didn't capitalize the A

It's case sensitive

There are like 3 Ayatanes

[graceful geyser]

okie i'll try again

[graceful geyser]

i worked!

[shell arch]

Accepted. Good luck, have fun

Make sure to remove me once you're done with my support

[graceful geyser]

THANK YOU! I WILL

[shell arch]

I have plenty of other ops if you need to borrow another op

Just tell me if you need to change it

[celest bluff]

mylar kill the red dude

I mean he kill most of them

[undone sundial]

any tips for event ex 5

nvm beat it

bit tricky but ye

[river quest]

is grain buds worth investing for? seems like slows would help a lot

[ripe girder]

Boss done!

[eager vale]

nah just stick with orchid imo

[empty temple]

So I only got 4* Vanguards, which should I be using out of Scavenger, Myrtle, Vigna, Vanilla and the Chapter 0 unlocks?

[undone sundial]

any tips for that

i cant seem to beat it

[empty temple]

I find Grain Buds is also pretty easy to max pot given she keeps haunting people's 10 pulls

[eager vale]

Fang or Courier (both are pioneers). save myrtle for later

[empty temple]

I wouldn't know though, the logic being "if it's easy to max their stuff via duplicates, then surely they are the budget option."

[ripe girder]

I've decided kill him little bit later. Where black mark he must enter second phase. After that Typhon looks on him again and kill him

[empty temple]

That's FGO logic atleast

[ripe girder]

If he decides to pass little bit further Gladiia with S3 also will hold him

[undone sundial]

so support typhon?

[empty temple]

Yea dunno what I'd use Support B for

[ripe girder]

Specter (Guard) stands upper black mark just for sure what he will not go further. She was supported with 2 healers

[empty temple]

What is DP? Hp?

[eager vale]

Deployment Points. the stuff you need to deploy units on the map

[empty temple]

Oh unit points, gotcha

Should've known there would be factory units in a TD game

[ripe girder]

Max potential on my team is Gladiia and Myrtle

[shell arch]

Did someone say myrtle

[empty temple]

Oh should I actually get courier? I assumed he was wimpy

[eager vale]

he's alright. beefier than other VGs. pick fang if you wanna go the cheaper route

[empty temple]

Alr next one, I only got a couple defenders, Cuora, Ashlock, Matterhorn, Beagle

Who should I use?

Cuora I assume?

[eager vale]

yes

[wild sail]

Which ops are needed to destroy the "olden keystone" in Reclamation Algorithm? Which ones have enough attack speed to take it down

the one at Towering pass

[narrow pendant]

Just clear rocks around it and place down 4 units that attacks fast

Its quite easy once the 4 sides are clear of rocks

[jovial nest]

HS-EX-3 CM actually being challenging

and then there's HS-EX-4 and CM being complete pushover because if you know how to isolate clean water

it's a non-issue

[glass monolith]

Why EX-8 has towers in enemy list WHILE THEY ARE NOT THERE?

Also boss is clown easy

[empty temple]

Jeez Shirayuki hits like a nuke

[jovial nest]

ok an assault map in this Sows gimmick is awesome and fun

especially with separation panels

[boreal vine]

Anyone made hs ex 8 in low end squad ? Cant defeat the boss, managed to deal with the rest but this this...

[eager vale]

how low end are we talking? cos there's guides up on YT like Kyo (he uses Penance borrow core)

and Ling i think can solo the stage as well

[boreal vine]

Idk Im lacking of casters so I have difficulty with those big guys

[boreal vine]

Wait what ?

[glass monolith]

Note for myself - If it fucking worked - Don't try to change it

[eager vale]

if you're not against borrowing E2 ops, you can also try Typhon on S3 as means to deal with the boss. she solos the boss on normal mode.
not sure about CM though

[glass monolith]

Lost EX-8 CM to fucking placing extra pump in blue box water pool but big dude from boss spanw poluted it buffing boss and having boss oneshot everyone

[primal rapids]

Are there any recomended base layouts for RA?

[narrow pendant]

Ling solos every stage except 4 of this entire event

Lol

[pure orchid]

is the event boss secrelty buffed in ex or something? i cant seem to replicate the strat i used in the normal stages

[narrow pendant]

Well its ex

So yes he is

[pure orchid]

how much ghost buff we talking about

i thought ghost buff was only for cm

[narrow pendant]

Cm is 20% hp and atk

[pure orchid]

wb just regular ex

[narrow pendant]

Ex is 10k more hp and 1k more atk

[hushed lagoon]

cant I just start from the beginning?

[pure orchid]

yeah okay fuck that

[narrow pendant]

Not thru that

But u can

[pure orchid]

when did they start ghost buffing regular ex too

or has it always been that way

[hushed lagoon]

how

[narrow pendant]

The three dots on the bottom bar

"Wipe save"

[pure orchid]

so true, its only ex-3 cm, ex-7 + cm that i cant ling solo lol

[narrow pendant]

And 2 of the S stages

[pure orchid]

there's a crazy ling solo of normal ex-7 but it looked tight af that i just dont wanna bother

slapped mudrock on rat lane and problem solved

i also cant ling solo ex-8 cus ghost buff is giving me skill issue

[narrow pendant]

I'll maybe just borrow a maxed ling i have in my support list and do a ling solo

Cant be arsed to bother when RA is up

[pure orchid]

im skipping ra for a bit

idk why

[glass monolith]

I skip RA because fuck it i don't have enough arms to do everthing

[pure orchid]

nvm i did the ling solo anyways

i like ling too much to give up

[ebon musk]

does that clear...literally everything?

[narrow pendant]

Everything except the research points

I.e. the shop currency and skill tree

[ebon musk]

even the skill tree gets reset? goddamn

[narrow pendant]

Did u completly ignore "except"

[crude oak]

I'm starting to dislike RA2, getting a base built is rough

[ebon musk]

wait oops reading comprehension moment

so base level, base constructs, that stuff gets wiped?

[shell arch]

I haven't played the samd yet, is it longer than ra1?

[narrow pendant]

"Everything except skill tree"

Buddy, friend

[ebon musk]

look man

wait it wouldn't make sense for the base level

to get reset

because some nodes on the skill tree are locked by base so

[narrow pendant]

Skill tree resets

But u get to keep the points

So in technicality, u kept it

And that also means u can reset->get the easy 1.5k points in the first 3 days->repeat until u have enough points to max everything day0

[ebon musk]

damn

i have to rebuild my food farms over again every time huh

[twilit flicker]

guys i feel stupid how do i find the command point

i have played nearl alter with the whole map and killed all the enemies

i literally cannot find the thing i need to beat up

[narrow pendant]

Its in the middle collum
See the single water tile?

Command point is 1 to thr right, and one to the bottom

[twilit flicker]

man

MAN

it was covered by the trees

that's why i couldn't SEE IT

[pure orchid]

nah i still cant see it what

im actually blind

[twilit flicker]

i think we need to get mlynar out and help deforestation here

[crude oak]

Yes

I keep losing at day 30, base not built

[glass monolith]

Skill issue (Didn't start yet and will lose on day 13 when i do)

[boreal vine]

Anyone have a blueprint for Sand headquarters ?

[crude oak]

I went back to day 25 and took them out early

[ebon musk]

at least in ra1 ur base would be preserved across runs 😭

[static ember]

anyone know where is the structure in RA#2 "Uninvited Guest"?

[karmic vector]

how do i deal with this enemy o 3-4 ? they deal so much damage

[pure orchid]

kill from afar with sniper, or use tanky but high (single target) damage unit like dreadnought guard

its not recommended to block them unless you have a really tanky defender like cuora

and even so, cuora isnt tanky outside of her skill

so if you can't block something, the next best option is to stall with slow or frd like gravel

i think chapter 2 should have covered that concept

[crude oak]

I just realized the talent tree has different categories...

[boreal vine]

How do you kill goats there

[cyan gorge]

Snipers, frd, agents

[blissful lark]

are seasons randomized?

[polar crane]

nope

[blissful lark]

how do u deal with the first boss with -1 block and -40% hp

[narrow pendant]

The day 25 one

[blissful lark]

yes im getting ass fucked

dont have enough time to put anything down and anything i do put down is deleted within 5 seconds am i just really bad at this game

[narrow pendant]

Do u not have your base set up? I chose to fight him at the HQ and it went well

A meat shield with degen and an ifrit lane

[blissful lark]

i tried setting up at one of the outposts

steamrolled me
