strategy

[ebon zephyr]

Your regular run

[left pecan]

I have 9 drill plans left

[left pecan]

It's the same

[ebon zephyr]

I think you can fang, courier, then Ely. Then you can deploy blaze, and ling

For starters 🤔

[left pecan]

This time it was still fang cour but then i rushed blaze then ling then 1 summon near her then ela then 2 healer then another summon then mud

In case u have an eyesight of a bat it doesn't work

I don't get my defense up fast enough

[ebon zephyr]

Hmmm I was thinking of deploying blaze on the other side

You got any other ranged units?

Like with got a bit of AOE

[left pecan]

Fiam and pinecone

Is this salvageable ?

The summons are almost dead and the tumor does like a billion pulse attack

[ebon zephyr]

Move blaze one space to the left to cover the chokepoint

[left pecan]

Anything else ?

[civic bear]

use the item

set up to left and right

[left pecan]

Ye but i'm unsure when to

[civic bear]

and then when boss enters final phase use it so it instalkill

[scarlet mortar]

that looks fine but where're the bombs

[left pecan]

One problem

Two actually

The immunity

And the fact that it does 1 billion pulse attacl

[civic bear]

you use the bomb after immunity goes down

the immunity comes every phase change

and yes it does the global explosion dmg at final phase quite often thats why you setup bomb beforehand

[left pecan]

Yeah u see

That creates another 2 problems

One, i was lacking dp

Two, i don't fucking know when to set up

Do it too soon and i lack dp to do anything

Do it too late and the boss kill le bomb before it gets to be used

[scarlet mortar]

shu and blaze could be better positioned

[left pecan]

Where

[scarlet mortar]

idt you quite need silence there

[ebon zephyr]

I never had any problem with pulse attack tbh

[left pecan]

Shu couldn't keep with the last phase

[scarlet mortar]

have shu blocking slugs so blaze doesn't get aspd debuffed

[left pecan]

Again prob bc of me not being familiar with this type of level design

[ebon zephyr]

Is perfumer there just to heal dragons?

[scarlet mortar]

phase 3 pulses very quickly, yes, which is why you go all in on bombs so it dies the moment it loses invincibility

[left pecan]

Think of chimps mode but u are playing half cash 8 monkeys only, with the caveat that u can sell on #ouch

[left pecan]

She's to heal ling

[civic bear]

it takes 25sp on each bomb so it takes 50s total to setup. should be ok if you set it up when boss in the 50 % range.

[ebon zephyr]

Can't silence drone do that?

[scarlet mortar]

you don't want to interact with phase 3 whatsoever

[civic bear]

are you leaking when the boss is not yet 20% hp?

[left pecan]

Ye i think my brain register the boss to have 4 phases for some reason

[left pecan]

The leak was on my part it was stray bug

[civic bear]

100-60 p1
60-20 p2
20-0 p3

p1 you deal dmg from the right
p2 from left
then p3 insta burst

the bomb has some hp to live thru a decent amount of phase 2 explosion

[left pecan]

It has THAT stupid mechanic huh

[supple mountain]

i need an ad for od-8 can someone help me

[ebon zephyr]

Should be easy with reedic 🤔

[supple mountain]

yeah reedic clears most of the trash but somehow i'm always leaking

[tawdry path]

do you know where you leak

[ebon zephyr]

How's your map looking like

[supple mountain]

gladiias on the left btw

[scarlet mortar]

why are people letting p3 live

[tawdry path]

shrug

[civic bear]

putting the bomb as the boss goes invul at 60% usually works good enough

1st bomb that is, 2nd bomb asap ofc

[ebon zephyr]

You need some aoe on the right side, because once your Centurions been slowed. It's over

[supple mountain]

oh you get given bombs i didn't even notice

[tawdry path]

well what I'd do is probably thorns on the boss lane facing left at the chokepoint to kill the gremlins that spawn

I'm assuming gg is enough dps for eoe to go to p2

[civic bear]

yes

its not very tanky

its tanky from the mechanic

that is u need to hit from left/right

[tawdry path]

that's a thing?

[scarlet mortar]

directional DR mfw

[tawdry path]

I shredded with one ela cycle lol

[civic bear]

yep. phase 1 weak to right, phase 2 weak to left

[scarlet mortar]

60% DR p1/2, 99% DR p3

[weak gazelle]

yeah the old directional DR

[tawdry path]

amazing

[weak gazelle]

until p3

[tawdry path]

well I immediately used myrtle hugging on eoe left side to block the critters early, everything else was pretty simple

[weak gazelle]

they provide bomb to ease the p3 part

[celest bluff]

Even at 99% dr
Yalter still somewhat beat the shit out of it

[weak gazelle]

yeah all player should beat p3 with yalter :clueless:

[tawdry path]

surely all players have yalter

[celest bluff]

Or just actually use the bomb

[civic bear]

how. yato is doing like 500 dmg

[left pecan]

Bc one they usually are too tired trying to keep up with the bug

Two they don't know that phase 3 is a huge bitch

[scarlet mortar]

i mean in their case they kinda fought it through once already

[left pecan]

This is easily the hardest lv i've ever played

Bc the problem isn't about the stat

It's how i approach this bitch

[scarlet mortar]

it's practically the hardest stage in the game for quite some time when it was released

nowadays it's highly annoying

[left pecan]

U mean there are similar levels like this ?

Multilane, enemy spamming, annoying debuff ?

[scarlet mortar]

not in the vein of slug spams

but SL stages were annoying in their own way

[left pecan]

Yk what

I'll trust u

[scarlet mortar]

HE stages were also mostly a puzzle check, although that event has a proper cheese

[spark sinew]

when you figure this stage out it's actually not that scary
especially with units we have nowadays (like you can completely negate the threat of enemies leaking on the bot right and left by just deploying yato twice)

[left pecan]

Ye still trying to see it through

[civic bear]

it is intentionally made to be annoying

[left pecan]

Like the only thing i can grasp is that this is MAYBE an enemy spam floodgate

[left pecan]

Love how i dies to annoying stuff and not actually hard stuff

bc the actually hard stuff is a stat check

[civic bear]

always been like that

theres stat check theres knowledge check

[nocturne cove]

Gays

Guys*

Help me

OD-EX-4

[scarlet mortar]

not gay 🚪 🚶

[pure orchid]

Send map pic

Or i will wreak havoc upon this text channel

[pure orchid]

Oh

[nocturne cove]

I will wreck havoc on you tehe

[pure orchid]

Vanguard bottom left, spawn camp top left spawner

Use the bombs

[nocturne cove]

Where

Bombs

[pure orchid]

You have 16

[nocturne cove]

Wait????

[pure orchid]

Game give you free

[nocturne cove]

I swear i read it as 6

With brain damage now i have vision damage

[pure orchid]

Idk all i know is game give you many bomb

[nocturne cove]

Sweet

[pure orchid]

Slower > dmg dealer

especially in cm

[civic bear]

bring bunch of range

[pure orchid]

suzuran, ines, chalter, etc

[civic bear]

each of the guy there has a tile in which it doesnt go to

[nocturne cove]

Yeah i figured the range part

[civic bear]

there you get to free hits

and they walk like forever

so you just pick them off one by one

[pure orchid]

Kill spawner first tho

[nocturne cove]

Yeah the ugly ass slug shooting canon looking

Texas alter borrow

[pure orchid]

Main threat is spawner and then just bomb everything

I love yapping

Ive been saying the same thing over and over

[weak gazelle]

ohh that map
play with the bomb and maybe start using stalker ops there

[pure orchid]

Did i mention that you should kill spawner first and then bomb everything else after

[nocturne cove]

Miss/yapper

[pure orchid]

Aaaaaaaaa

[nocturne cove]

There you go- your pronouns

[weak gazelle]

or make use the red tiles there

[nocturne cove]

Oh it didnt get revealed

Silverash

Lesgoo

Imma try and come back

[tawdry path]

Ifrit borrow bottom right clears this comfy, have good defenders up, you can use bombs for QoL experience

[narrow pendant]

Thats a funny looking stage
And tgey are using the stones from ra

[nocturne cove]

Lmao

Wtf was that stage

I just needed patience

[vital vessel]

just like all things in life

[bitter halo]

whivh direction does sandstorm move

this is ex 8

[young harness]

I think left to right

[narrow pendant]

U can see from the picture

[bitter halo]

okay and does it change direction midfight

[narrow pendant]

Think it also changes directions later but forgor

[bitter halo]

okay im watching guide

[narrow pendant]

Just go and play it smhmhm

Dont watch a guide first thing u do, play the stage

[limpid siren]

left to right, it doesn't change

[bitter halo]

okay then its kinda easy

i just have to defend one point

[limpid siren]

kinda

you have to loosely defend the bridge with barricades from 4 infiltrators

and the eradicators come up through the staircase

95% of the fight happens at one intersection though yea

[young harness]

There’s a bridge up there though where infiltrators come break all the dirt mounds so other than that it’s pretty much a brute force stage (?)

[bitter halo]

okay i will prepare surtr or some helidrop for those guys

[limpid siren]

just make sure you wait for all 4 to clump up if you're gonna do it that way

iirc you have time to let them clump

rope/cliffheart can handle them all as long as they don't die though

idr if that's actually rope's tile but i can't see another one for her

only need one of them, has to be S2

sooty should work fine tho

[bitter halo]

probably need 2 healer for cm but i did it

i have no pullers built

i dont really care abt cm tile bans easy peasy

[weak gazelle]

atk down always ass no matter what the map
its fun grinding croissant dodge and crit hit meteorite

[young harness]

I need guide on that

🛐

[weak gazelle]

arent there already a guide on yt?

[glass monolith]

Me put Manticore on there and just enjoy entire map desync

[modest pewter]

is there an easy way to beat WD-EX8-CM with the current ops we got? i wanted to copy some of the guide out there but they use old ops and my unit is kinda underlevel i got every ops just need to know what the core ops is or rather how to afk it

i still have not beat the CM yet the fart is way to stressful

[weak gazelle]

what kind of map again that is? i forgot tbh

[modest pewter]

the fart guy

kaltsit stages

uh or event rather

[weak gazelle]

ohh emperor blade

[modest pewter]

yes

that

[weak gazelle]

maybe show your roster first

[scarlet mortar]

fuck it we DB

[pure orchid]

I like ass so this is fine

[weak gazelle]

i believe its about managing fart, stall eb p1 and burst p2

[modest pewter]

p1 what does that mean havent heared of it

what core ops should i use ?

[pure orchid]

PHASE 1

[modest pewter]

oh lmao

[weak gazelle]

back then buffed chen s3

[foggy grove]

now just degen

[modest pewter]

chen i dont have her lvl up yet do eben work ?

or eb have res to it

[weak gazelle]

nowadays still same, degen instead of chen

[modest pewter]

oh right that

aight i think imma try

[pure orchid]

You will try

[golden onyx]

How do I beat 4-9 with no e2

[foggy grove]

you don't need e2 for 4-9

[weak gazelle]

i will give feet instead

[regal frost]

just show ops @golden onyx

[regal frost]

watch this https://youtu.be/BIlP5MxRF0I?si=kRUVhbpAA05_cxWu

[pure orchid]

🚮

[nocturne cove]

Ahahaha

[pure orchid]

I hate feet

Full of bacteria

[civic bear]

bring a gravel to bait the caster

aside from that you can just play mostly ranged op

[dull veldt]

@scarlet fulcrum I keep leaking and idk why lmao

I think from fang side

[golden onyx]

Oh so I dont need lappland and silverash?

[civic bear]

those two are your best unit so its good to have em available since u still do need to block right side. just switch out one of the defender for example

should be fairly doable. make sure to retreat vigna before she dies so that you dont lose DP. vigna will buy some time at start

[delicate flare]

if you don't have gravel for some reasons I think 2* yato works too

[nocturne cove]

Huh?

Pedicure exists

😭

[golden onyx]

Who is yato

[civic bear]

2* vg

[golden onyx]

Oh * is star

[golden onyx]

I dont think I have her

[narrow pendant]

[civic bear]

u got gravel then? if not just any melee works really. you just need to bait few times and its not like you're deploying all your melee ops

[delicate flare]

I was about to say something but i forgot

[civic bear]

when u see ur units get tied up

retreat them

then replace with new melee op

[narrow pendant]

Dementia

[pure orchid]

Dude i dont mean the nails

The literal feet

[civic bear]

thats why gravel or just any bait is good

so that u dont need to retreat your stronger op

[delicate flare]

Meanie

[nocturne cove]

you keep them clean-

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586588921614303233/1271156143800062115/814167580175630377.gif

well whatever

what do you like then? something like eyes?

hair

[narrow pendant]

You

[delicate flare]

stop flirting

[narrow pendant]

Hater

[delicate flare]

[nocturne cove]

dont play with me-

[delicate flare]

fred rizz...

[glass monolith]

Bro why ex-7 is so gay?

[pure orchid]

Fredi gets it

-2 points for cheating tho

8/10

[narrow pendant]

Youll get it tonight

[pure orchid]

Damn… 😭

[pure orchid]

I actually have no idea

[narrow pendant]

You like me

[pure orchid]

I mean thats a given but

Maybe height and hair?

[narrow pendant]

I have height!

[pure orchid]

I like small…

[narrow pendant]

💀

[pure orchid]

Im clean i swear!!

[delicate flare]

💀 153cm here

[narrow pendant]

Short, gremlin

Goblin even

[delicate flare]

Bully

[pure orchid]

Nice, now get in the sack

We’re going home

[narrow pendant]

Im 191cm
Get on my lvl

[pure orchid]

Fredi we have a new challenger

Holy tall

[glass monolith]

How people were doing those cancer stages without shit like Firewhislte etc?

[pure orchid]

od-8?

[narrow pendant]

Blaze, eyja

[nocturne cove]

Uh it might not work out

[glass monolith]

Oh right

[pure orchid]

Idk people just leaked to no end

[nocturne cove]

Marriage when? @pure orchid

[pure orchid]

Marriage in this economy

Can we even afford a ceremony

[opaque aspen]

FCKING FINALLY managed a stable auto on OD-8. if that helps anyone or gives anyone any idea on how to beat it here's my final deployment: dusk s2, eyja s3 and degen take turns once phase 3 hits to nuke the right side, left is just blaze and ela (they're enough most of the time, ela s3 lasts so long and mines can be spammed. Also eyja reaches on left side with s3). Finally, fiam solos leftmost lane until the tank dude goes down, at which point the boss is dead so you can just redeploy the vanguards to tank it till it dies of intercontinental ballistic missile. Hope that helps anyone ^^

[nocturne cove]

Imma lend some money

jk

[delicate flare]

how to get taller

[nocturne cove]

Gimme money

[tawdry path]

diabolical back pain

[pure orchid]

I want money

[nocturne cove]

No back pain

Im 190 and havent checked im a while

[delicate flare]

how do i get taller

[nocturne cove]

Sleep

That's what my mum would say when i was a kid

😭

[delicate flare]

I just woke up from a 5h nap

[nocturne cove]

Realistically talking...how old are you?

[delicate flare]

confidential material

but not a minor

[glass monolith]

(i bet he is) 19

[nocturne cove]

Then you cant grow more

Unless

[delicate flare]

its so over

[nocturne cove]

Your growth plates havent closed

Which is exception in a few

[nocturne cove]

Joever

Juts be happy

With what you have

[tawdry path]

your growth hormones technically shutdown at 21

[nocturne cove]

🙏

How can you be so short omg

Midget

Tehehe

[delicate flare]

asian

[violet heron]

how do I deal with those uncontrollable little things that come out towards the end of the boss

[nocturne cove]

Im asian

[delicate flare]

Fake asian

[tawdry path]

fake asian ❌

[nocturne cove]

Mixed

Yeah

[nocturne cove]

Bomb

[violet heron]

so I have to set up the bombs in advance?

[nocturne cove]

As soon as invulnerability goes

[tawdry path]

yes

[vital vessel]

you nuke the last phase of boss with 2 bombs

[violet heron]

I see

[nocturne cove]

You place the bomb down after phase 2

[tawdry path]

from the pic they reach phase 3 from timer, not from dmg

[vital vessel]

set up the bombs in phase 2

[violet heron]

I was using the bombs for any things other than phase 3

[scarlet mortar]

that's kind of a shame

[violet heron]

so there is a timer huh?
like the witch king force making the stage fail

[scarlet mortar]

considering if you dropped the boss down to 20% hp and forced phase 3, 2 bombs instakill it

[tawdry path]

yeah the boss can be phase 3 either from time or at 20% hp

[nocturne cove]

Use dps

For first two phase

And then bomb

[scarlet mortar]

dps'ing phase 2 is considerably easier than phase 3

hitting it from the left deals full damage

whereas phase 3 just gets 99% DR

[violet heron]

yeah I'll try again

[nocturne cove]

Dont fail

Or bonk

[violet heron]

maybe not

some attempts are inevitable

my goal is to get a stable auto to grind those GRINDstones

[glass monolith]

FUCKING EX-7

[delicate flare]

do not fuck ex-7

-fib

[glass monolith]

Then i will fuck fib, then you, then ex-7, and then saga ex-8

[delicate flare]

[regal frost]

don't forget to use protection

[glass monolith]

I will (Pillar which i forgot to reinforce dies)

Ahahahahhaha placing another bomb at same time as other bomb explodes during Sandstorm will apply "extended redeployment time"

[violet heron]

I can't seem to get the timing to set the bomb right
the boss keeps destroying it

[glass monolith]

Well deploying it when phase 3 already in progress won't solve it for sure

Boss AoE too often

[rocky anvil]

Does Hoshi S2 one shot those slow ASPD debuffer slugs or no?

[foggy grove]

set it when boss entering phase 2

[violet heron]

I think I deployed towards the end of phase 2 but maybe it was probably too early?
the bombs got destroyed by the boss

[scarlet mortar]

too late

[pure orchid]

so REAL

[foggy grove]

it's too late

[scarlet mortar]

phase 3 has no cd on explosions, if it still needs to charge after the boss loses invincibility it's a goner

[foggy grove]

you need 2 bombs ready to detonate

[violet heron]

guess I'll try again

[boreal relic]

wait so for od-8 you just have to survive the first two phases then nuke the boss w bombs?

[scarlet mortar]

you do have to actively dps the boss to phase 3

if you don't do it within 200s it enters phase 3 with all its hp instead of 20%

which you can't nuke

[boreal relic]

oh dang

so you cant just wait it out to finish off all the enemies first

so the strat is dps boss down - phase 3 - nuke?

[scarlet mortar]

pretty much

the bombs have to be prepped in advance

here's how i did it

[boreal relic]

didnt use the bombs first run and got the boss low and didnt realize he'd wipe my map so fast

[boreal relic]

that was genuinely insane to watch

[glass monolith]

Knowledge about map wipe will be very usefull on EX-8

[scarlet mortar]

[boreal relic]

my only 6 stars are degen, mlynar and ela my laneholder is beagle

[limpid siren]

tbh if you can make it to EX-8 you should be able to clear without too much stress

[regal frost]

you'll be fine

[scarlet mortar]

DB + ela should delete phase 2

then you bomb phase 3 easy

[delicate flare]

the pros of being short

[boreal relic]

okok

i deleted phase 2 but i never used the bombs so ill just use all 3 at once and nuke it

[violet heron]

200s I see
I was stalling the boss

[civic bear]

easiest is to just place it when phase 2 invul starts

aka boss hits 60% hp

then start placing mines

average team should deal with the 40% within 40s

then 10s invul

[glass monolith]

[civic bear]

thats your 50s for double bomb charge. and pop

tho if ur team got enough burst then placing even as soon as you can comfortably do works too

[pure orchid]

You have no idea how much i envy yall

[delicate flare]

the grass is always greener on the other side

[glass monolith]

You to hitting door frames in public places?

[narrow pendant]

I like being tall

[delicate flare]

I have to cut off and sew my own clothes from time to time

[narrow pendant]

Being short sounds sucky

[pure orchid]

I want to ||cut off my legs|| to make myself shorter

[delicate flare]

[pure orchid]

ANYWAYS

[delicate flare]

Ur sucky

[pure orchid]

I unironically do sometimes

Try living in a country where the average height is smaller than you

[narrow pendant]

meanie

[pure orchid]

Meaning the architecture is violently small

[glass monolith]

Fair enough

[delicate flare]

what about the reverse

[pure orchid]

Idk ask yourself

[regal frost]

wear stilts

[delicate flare]

Meanie

[pure orchid]

Mb couh

[glass monolith]

Now imagine other side of coin. Generation of architects spend weeks and month to design perfect ratio of stable building with specific height of door frames etc. And then fucking average height increases

I don't like how close my team is to ded on EX-8 What is CM condition?

[regal frost]

5 tiles no longer available

[glass monolith]

Is those 5 tiles related to puller or saga cheeses?

[ocean ether]

they are all near the blue box iirc

[glass monolith]

[ocean ether]

the real cheese is virtuosa hitting the boss from the other side of the ravine

[glass monolith]

FUCK

And Saga tile banned

[ocean ether]

just borrow virtuosa

[glass monolith]

No i want to suffer

[regal frost]

use weedy S2

[glass monolith]

Not that much suffer

[ocean ether]

kill it with only reedic doing boss DPS, from other side of ravine.

by that i mean placing reedic at bottom right and watch the dominos

[glass monolith]

I tried to damage reduction true damage

[delicate flare]

Bro

Reedic froze my phone 6 times

with that setup

[ocean ether]

He wanted to suffer after all

[delicate flare]

it gets even worse since I alternate between shu and reedic for the bottom lane

shu kept all the mofos together

then when i activate skill

[craggy turret]

Rare instance of penance S2 being better than S3

[craggy turret]

My phone will unfreeze in 3 business days

[ocean ether]

imagine if you are using reedic skin

[delicate flare]

dont have it

[glass monolith]

Please tell me CM don't increase boss AoE damage, 1200 true damage is already dogshit

[ocean ether]

shu's ground aura heals through that LOL

[delicate flare]

[ocean ether]

I play shu S3, but afk

[glass monolith]

I can't heal CORPSE

[delicate flare]

Yeah shu sustained my entire team just fine

It gets sus at time tho

should add another healer for stability

[ocean ether]

add perfumer for the lolz

[craggy turret]

Use penance, she can snowball easily and her dmg reflect takes care of the smol guys so they don't pile up too much

[violet heron]

K I did it, thanks for the help guys (hoping the auto won't fail )

[delicate flare]

Penance propaganda

[glass monolith]

I had 3 medics warf still fucking killed herself

[regal frost]

just use 4 medics like I did

[delicate flare]

[delicate flare]

do not remind me of that horrible clear

[tawdry path]

horn and reedic kills the critters so well that the shu lane doesnt get flooded at cm

[regal frost]

I will remind you of it constantly

[craggy turret]

My clear of OD-8 was cursed as well

[delicate flare]

Ptilopsis moral support

[craggy turret]

Hoderer who?

[delicate flare]

Bro didn't even activate her skill

[regal frost]

https://youtu.be/MZ2eNzti030?si=zl9XcwCDVs3-GvvQ

[delicate flare]

Warf healing ng and shining

Insane

[regal frost]

do you want me to redo it but somehow make it more cursed

[tawdry path]

that look painful to clear

[delicate flare]

You should make warf points to bluebox and contribute nothing to the team

[ocean ether]

mine was cursed for different reasons

[delicate flare]

so called easy to run 2D chibi game

[ocean ether]

It was cursed because I was forced to press buttons and not AFK

[delicate flare]

I almost fucked my runs cause I wasn't able to activate other op's skill after activating reed's

[ocean ether]

this is why i run afk

imagine if... logos was released when this rerun hit

Logos S1 AFK, then just need a medic squad to AFK

[delicate flare]

very sadge you cant play OD and ela event in the future

Unless TW server

[ocean ether]

imagine if we get R6 collab a third time

[delicate flare]

wdym if

we will

after destiny 2 collab gets officially canceled

[ocean ether]

all we need to do is plant logos down and win

[delicate flare]

[ocean ether]

those little things boss spawns instant delete

[delicate flare]

logoat

who's walter

never heard

[ocean ether]

Walter would still need to shoot at them, logos would just yeet them out of existence

[delicate flare]

First tell about problem then complain someone offered solution

[delicate flare]

sorry i got influenced by #help

[glass monolith]

I press screenshot button when enemies jsut spawned after boss death

[delicate flare]

holy thats a lot of healers

shu-less moment

[glass monolith]

Call me when Shu spark is 200

[delicate flare]

Wake up grandpa

Greenday disbanded

[violet heron]

mine failed like 3 times
had to redo and finally have a stable one (suceeded 4 times so I guess I can call it stable now)

[nocturne cove]

W

I have to work up my 1 braincell later when i try it

Auto succeeded 1/3 times

[nocturne cove]

225 no shu

I wanna break something

[glass monolith]

Skipped Shu

[nocturne cove]

L

I hope you never feel the embrace of shu

Hope she never comes to you

[delicate flare]

I mean

he's dying with 3 medics while I sustained my whole team with 1 shu in ex8

[glass monolith]

WAS dying

[tawdry path]

that one camo tile is so deliberate in od 8 ex

it's hilarious

[nocturne cove]

jk

I wouldn't wish what happened to me on my worst enemy

Guess being shuless sucks

[glass monolith]

3 years of AK. I don't need all this OP and fancy BS to carry me

[nocturne cove]

3 years

What

Ancient

[regal frost]

if 3 years is ancient what am i

[nocturne cove]

idk

[glass monolith]

Nah ancient are people who will get 5 years medal. They knew game when it was even more this that during DH

[nocturne cove]

Antique

[glass monolith]

When i joined there was claim all in daily quests. Archetypes had names instead it being just community thing.
But leveling up by selecting 40 EXP tickets at time manually was cringe

[nocturne cove]

It hasn't been an year for me

[delicate flare]

Boomer

[regal frost]

we suffered without claim all button

[tawdry path]

I played on an account made at 2020, am I ancient player

[weak gazelle]

when suffering from unstable auto anni
the most shittiest wasting time ever been

[glass monolith]

Doing Jettison annihilation manually from 300 kills each time becuase fucking kill gate desyncs

[weak gazelle]

glad we past that dark time

[regal frost]

took me forever to get a stable annihilation 3 cause of frame drops smh

[limpid siren]

pre-skip annihilation

god we lived in poverty

[glass monolith]

My best desync was Ambriel stun RNG 5 time in row causing enemy to never enter Chalter range

[limpid siren]

[pure orchid]

didnt we used to have no auto refill in base?

[limpid siren]

yea

[lapis hornet]

all these boomers lmao

[pure orchid]

sorry ill go back to bed now...

[weak gazelle]

yeah time to go back to my slumber too

[nocturne cove]

Wow

You all are og players

[nocturne cove]

Dont talk

You have your alt at 120

[glass monolith]

Hit 120 like 4-5 months ago

I would complain that no more free sanity during event, but i will be honest...
My final 5-6 level ups landed on dead time between events

[narrow pendant]

With me

[pure orchid]

Yes, right

[supple mountain]

i think i got the gist of it but still leaking accidentally

methinks would it be viable to replace suzuran with someone else

like idk phantom

[regal frost]

which side is leaking?

[supple mountain]

right side

[regal frost]

you could bring lap to silence them so they don't split

[halcyon wigeon]

I meed to borrow an m3 s3 golden glow any1 got

[pure orchid]

@limpid siren skalter s1m7 can sustain 4 ops including herself on phase 3

[supple mountain]

i have one but she's lv 1

[halcyon wigeon]

Its fine I got someone else to borrow

[limpid siren]

holy moly

so i guess you won?

[pure orchid]

well the boss died but i leaked slugs

i need more bodies

[limpid siren]

just a hop, skip, and a jump to a proper win then

[pure orchid]

but the limit is 3

[bitter halo]

beat cm without watching a guide

[pure orchid]

true

[glass monolith]

And Silence alter can sustain calling ambulance because boss is True Damage and i am idiot

[limpid siren]

the limit is 3 at once

you'll get it

nice work so far

[bitter halo]

that reed alter spot is so good

[pure orchid]

a p3 explosion will leave skalter babysitting 3 units with like 10% hp or smth

so yeah def 3

idk if s1m3 can bump that up to 4, but s1m3 is crazy talk

like

toddifons s1 crazy

[sly drift]

To say "Without guide" is the lowest bar Arknights player could possibly set.

You begin to truly play the game when you don't use guide.

[glass monolith]

Me eating EX-8 cm was recalling there was Saga clear for stage

[scarlet mortar]

wow that's crazy

[limpid siren]

honestly good skill that just never really had much of a place to flourish in ak

[glass monolith]

Fish screams so hard everyone un-unalive

[limpid siren]

damage share busted mechanic

[narrow pendant]

Proved by CE

[nocturne cove]

What-

You didnt raise lappdumb

Shes the only 5 star guard in my squad

[narrow pendant]

I have her raised
But im also using the better version

[regal frost]

imagine not having 40 guards raised smh

[glass monolith]

I has 101 e2

[delicate flare]

Me 7

[pure orchid]

frostpat

[vocal leaf]

another win for maleknights, chongyue is godsent

[supple mountain]

what

i said my gg is lv 1 e2

not lap

[pure orchid]

OD soundtrack kinda sucks

[spark sinew]

outside of cc i only saw skalter1 in duos with ling

[pure orchid]

i got scammed

[glass monolith]

Because average "see" is someone video most of which are hyper optimized low op low rarity other bs
Meanwhile me:

[spark sinew]

well yes, was talking about optimized clears

[glass monolith]

Being optimal is boring and looking on some AK clears are straight painful to perform

[ocean ether]

that looks like failure because got slowed

[crisp bolt]

Kyo lied about his stable auto?

[ocean ether]

oh its kyo's auto?

[crisp bolt]

Ye

Thorns blaze texas yalter 4 op clear

[ocean ether]

watching the video now and lol this is so painful

"simulate leaks"

what is this.... just bring lappland

[pure orchid]

its a trust farm

lapp would most likely cost more slot

[cyan gorge]

I just do 6 ops cause there’s no one I want to trust farm

[ocean ether]

1 more slot wouldn't cost you alot.

[ocean ether]

same

I have a few I want to trust farm, but honestly not in a rush

[pure orchid]

you get that mentality and the entire point of a trust farm will be lost on you

[cyan gorge]

Also I don’t own Blaze or Thorns to do any of the 5 op or less

[ocean ether]

This is why I dont bother with trust farm. I am a casual AFK no-brainer player. Why would I ever want to try-hard and make arknights my second job

[pure orchid]

8 more times i say to myself "1 more slot wouldnt cost me a slot" and it ends up being a normal auto

its not only the trust, for me its also about the discipline

[ocean ether]

I mean... how many operators do you even intend to trust farm in the first place. Shouldn't it only be the ones you intend to use? If thats the case you shouldn't even be having many of thoese

[pure orchid]

im planning to 200 everyone, simply cus i want to

and also because i can

[ocean ether]

Then thats very much a you issue. Most players wouldn't even bother

[pure orchid]

Not an issue, its a preference

wording matters

[spark sinew]

200 everyone is easy though
especially if you're using bad base like 243!

[vital vessel]

you know i'm also planning on 200 trust everyone i have, only 66 out of 290ish ops left

[pure orchid]

i love 243 and no filthy 252 user can change my mind

[ocean ether]

you guys are doing it for all the dubious trust 3 lines right? Fess up.

[pure orchid]

its so... perfect looking

[vital vessel]

smh

if you have 243, might as well run sui combo in base

and mr nothing

[pure orchid]

ling is like the only sui i have

its pretty sad

[lapis hornet]

same

except nian shu chungus dusk she's the only one I have

[pure orchid]

sui combo is like one of the few things 243 is good for

[ocean ether]

admit it... you guys are doing it for the dubious trust 3 lines.

[vital vessel]

nah i don't read lore anymore

[lapis hornet]

a lot of ppl 200 everyone idk what's to yap about it

it's just something to do

[pure orchid]

real

theres not much thought to it

[vital vessel]

yea it's like end game milestones

[narrow pendant]

Imagine

[vital vessel]

along with raising everyone

[pure orchid]

if youre casual then good for you ig

shut

you go to sleep fredi

[narrow pendant]

Hello pookie and femn

[pure orchid]

[narrow pendant]

Its not even 6pm

[vital vessel]

🌊

[ocean ether]

whats wrong with the event thats causing failing autos though, I been seeing lots of ppl talk about it but havent experienced a failure

[narrow pendant]

Obligatory Sui trust farm

🫵

[glass monolith]

I have operators to trust farm.... Proceeds to 12 ops

[vital vessel]

nianless shut

[narrow pendant]

Next year, next year i'll have them all

[pure orchid]

chonge

[cyan gorge]

Cursed af but it works

[ocean ether]

Wow, swire alter. Thats so rare

[glass monolith]

She dodged me

[narrow pendant]

Chong is my least fav of the playable siblings,, but besides shu hes the only one i actually use

[ocean ether]

shu being outright broken as a healing defender dosent make that a very good comparison

[supple mountain]

wait there's voicelines for max trust??

[narrow pendant]

Yeah

[supple mountain]

[narrow pendant]

For 50, 100, 150, 200

[ocean ether]

There are some highly dubious ones

[delicate flare]

its cause u used texalter instead of yato

[glass monolith]

I love how my Auto has desync on when boss change phase, but because i spend so much time activating all Chen buffs for oneshot it still activate S2 at right time

[ocean ether]

here is dorothy... if you have her, try listening to it in JP

[delicate flare]

Nice thighs

[vital vessel]

bean i just finished ed4 is2 hard more

[delicate flare]

Handhold wenn

I need to clear hardmode too

[restive kayak]

Any good Strategy to beat OD-8?(man i'm stuck even with guide )

[pure orchid]

i dont even have texalt

[polar crane]

try arturia if you have her

[ocean ether]

The funny thing is, she is one of the only characters to have more clothing in her E2 art than her E0

[delicate flare]

[restive kayak]

Nah

[pure orchid]

you dont like chong white noise?

[polar crane]

do you have shu

[restive kayak]

idk who that is.

[ocean ether]

do you have blaze

[polar crane]

virtuosa

[ocean ether]

or virtuosa

[vital vessel]

ela yato?

[restive kayak]

Nah. (i do have Gavialter tho)

[polar crane]

too inconsistent

[narrow pendant]

I like the girls more, shrimple
Dusk>shu>nian>ling>chong

[restive kayak]

Not built.

[ocean ether]

blaze is the main staple for most guides for OD8

[vital vessel]

gavialter can work

[pure orchid]

this is so sad... can we get much higher?

[restive kayak]

Yato,nah. Didn't got her. got ela though,no module(93% trust)

[regal frost]

wow sexist

[polar crane]

2 reaper then

2 reaper above the boss should swipe

[ocean ether]

R6 collab would have been hilarious if it happened after logos was released

[narrow pendant]

be quiet
Saturday strim

Liar

[regal frost]

fine I'll stream later

[restive kayak]

Hrmm I guess that works. if i have La Pluma Built.

[narrow pendant]

Nah. I wont be watching.

[regal frost]

is3 stream?

[ocean ether]

how about, you show us who you have before we continue the guesswork

[narrow pendant]

i habe to pack for a school trip

[polar crane]

ya go try

[vital vessel]

maybe show us your roster?

[restive kayak]

Got Zuong Le

[vital vessel]

who is that lol

[restive kayak]

zuo le

fk

[polar crane]

[restive kayak]

rahhh

[ocean ether]

zuong le LOL

[restive kayak]

[ocean ether]

is that a chongus pun

[vital vessel]

zuo is block 1

[polar crane]

but he is aoe

[vital vessel]

show your roster

[regal frost]

just screenshot roster yes

[ocean ether]

actually.. how would dorothy fare against od-8 LOL

[regal frost]

femn beat me to it

[vital vessel]

we'll cook something

[restive kayak]

something like this(Just imagine there is mlynar in Siege there,i guess)

[regal frost]

good, there's a vid above somewhere

[narrow pendant]

Good but not very consistent

Can fuck up

[ocean ether]

probably the minion spawns interfering with mine placement I guess?

[polar crane]

we dont know what cause od8 so inconsistent

[vital vessel]

mlynar wipes 2nd phase, the ela mine 2 bombs

[polar crane]

bomb is inconsistent, I personally dont use them

[vital vessel]

mine is consistent lmao

[narrow pendant]

I just wait 2 seconds after his invul ends

Just to be safe, and its very consistent now

[vital vessel]

yea you have to compensate

[ocean ether]

just use blaze and forget the boss exists

[vital vessel]

what are you talking about he doesn't have blaze

[narrow pendant]

No thanks
I use either arturia+reedic
Or chong, cuz hes insane for these

[vital vessel]

gavialter s2 works

[vital vessel]

how is your masteries?

[supple mountain]

hypothetically can i replace surtr with lapp

[vital vessel]

context?

[ocean ether]

lappland works wonders for this event because almost every annoying enemy can be silenced

But yes, context please

[hazy sinew]

lapp is good here solo left lane

[supple mountain]

od-8 still

[ocean ether]

I am guessing this is the main reason why od8 isnt consistent

[supple mountain]

if lapp can hold the left lane where would i put thorns then

[vital vessel]

what's surtr doing in od-8 killing eoe?

[restive kayak]

Other than Myrtle/Thorns/Pozy/Gavialter everyone there are lv7(with Ela s3m2)

[supple mountain]

uhh i used her a few times to burst the shooters from the top and occasionally if puzzle and reedalt get overwhelmed

[vital vessel]

thorns on the right chokepoints solo them

[hazy sinew]

right check point

[vital vessel]

that's overkill dude

[glass monolith]

If it is dead it is not overkill

[hazy sinew]

surtr to burst down boss ig

[restive kayak]

Yeah. there is so Many Of these sh- In later Moment of the stages. that i always somehow leaked like. 9 to 11 of them

[vital vessel]

you know thorns solo right side right?, gavialter mlynar pozy ela is killing the boss while holding the lane

what guides have you been watching

[restive kayak]

Kyo(yeah i'm dumb it still didn't work)

[vital vessel]

[ocean ether]

just do something like this, ines just to block the first slug (can replace with any vanguard) and account for leaks behind thorns after that. Shu skill not even used since perfumer S2 can completely upkeep with global regen

Not sure about your team, but since you have lappland and thorns, you could probably work around this somehow

[restive kayak]

(Damn,i'm Shuuless. guess this just works since i can replace the ines with any VG and borrow Shu from support unit)

[ocean ether]

dont need shu, her skill is not even used. She is just there to block mobs from the cannon on right

actually... let me just place gummy there because why the hell not

[restive kayak]

Owh Well then. wait Anyone other than blaze can be replaced with in her position(i didn't have her)

[hazy sinew]

replace ines seems like a stretch

[cyan gorge]

I used Fedex

[vital vessel]

@restive kayak

myrtle behind siege 🚬

[glass monolith]

Moduled Murtle can't hurt you

[restive kayak]

Owhhhh wait this help,thanks (what form of power is these )

[vital vessel]

honestly i don't know how you're losing, but yea things happen ig

[supple mountain]

[glass monolith]

Ah fuck it Ling for OD-8 auto, long time i didn't use that abomination

[vital vessel]

ling lancet-2

i know all the timing too damn

i should change my auto

[supple mountain]

actually wait if i place reed a tile back can she reach lapp

[grim hull]

I still can't believe that od-8 is harder than od-ex-8

[vital vessel]

ground reedic?

[restive kayak]

Fr???

[vital vessel]

yes lol

[glass monolith]

Because i need 2 Saga's to do OD-8 with my skill issues

[grim hull]

It took me like 20 tries to beat od-8
and I did the ex in 3

[restive kayak]

Owhhh Make sense.
the enemy only have 1 route to go to unlike OD-8.

[vital vessel]

2 lanes technically

[glass monolith]

1 lane + blocker for sniper + Cliffheart check

[supple mountain]

like a tile back to the next ranged one available

[grim hull]

reed carried lol

[supple mountain]

but then she can't reach puzzle so

[vital vessel]

saria is not healing?

[restive kayak]

Got Flashbanged

[ocean ether]

anyways, ines and shu perfectly replacable

[supple mountain]

sarias healing but she feels a little slow

[ocean ether]

just grab fang and vigna, then bring any reaper

[grim hull]

but fr reed's s3 clearing the entire map is genuinely so satisfying

[vital vessel]

she only heal when <50%health

[supple mountain]

on s2

[vital vessel]

mastered?

[supple mountain]

what if you have no reaper raised

[supple mountain]

not yet

[ocean ether]

vigna just needs to handle the first right spawn, then you can retreat and ignore her from then on, gummy is just a brick

[supple mountain]

i got told to s3m3 suzu first

[vital vessel]

then just use saria s1

[regal frost]

we did od-8 fine without reapers 3 years ago

[glass monolith]

Just increases how scuffed you run is. Reapers being Reaped by attack speed reduce slimes anyway

[vital vessel]

reed can heal exu and puzzle

[ocean ether]

highmore is free, this is my highmore, E1 lvl 40. No excuses, she is dirt cheap.

If not grab humus

[glass monolith]

Puzzle mentioned

[restive kayak]

I think She is from IS2 i think?.

or 3

[cyan gorge]

IS3

[ocean ether]

IS3

[restive kayak]

Yeah.

[vital vessel]

you don't need reaper you squad is already overkill, just git gud

[restive kayak]

Fair

[restive kayak]

i didn't read any single thing in the event

[supple mountain]

[restive kayak]

it just works

[ocean ether]

then use any sniper or AOE caster, dosent matter

[vital vessel]

bruh, read the boss mechanics at least

[ocean ether]

you just need to kill the bugs gummy is blocking before she stacks 3 of them

[supple mountain]

does lava work methinks

[ocean ether]

heck, why not use someone stronger than gummy, she is just there to prove a point

[supple mountain]

she's the only splash caster i have raised

[vital vessel]

@restive kayak #help message

[regal frost]

you can use shirayuki

[cyan gorge]

Indigo enjoyer

[supple mountain]

also not raised kekw

[spark sinew]

raise your base workers

[ocean ether]

and btw, that was a brain dead AFK strategy even with the 4 stars usage. Just use some stronger operators and press some buttons if you need to

[ebon zephyr]

Hi help, where do I put the bombs in odex4

[cyan gorge]

Wherever you need them to be

[ocean ether]

humus is a 4 star btw

Its this guy. If you been pulling anything at all you should have him.

[ebon zephyr]

Big help

[vital vessel]

what's the map lazy to look up

[sly drift]

Press some buttons? You mean.. like pressing the buttons?

[ocean ether]

I didn't use bombs so cant help you with that

[cyan gorge]

You get a lot of bombs so use them to reveal tiles to place dps. You can see the grass patches under the mounds

I revealed what was convenient for me so I can’t offer concrete advice, but this is what I did

[ocean ether]

I had to press buttons for EX8 and use reedic and virtuosa S3... I feel dirty

[vital vessel]

you place the bombs according to your strategy ig

the bombs are a cross 2 tiles in each cardinal direction

[ocean ether]

gotta say, the dominos explosion was satisfying though

[vital vessel]

it does quite a bit of dmg too

[ebon zephyr]

This is quite hard

[cyan gorge]

Don’t overthink and just spam bombs

[ocean ether]

you can do it without bombs btw, what is your team

[ebon zephyr]

I was trying only bomb clear lmao

[ocean ether]

lol.... anyways... Key here is typhon, she will do 80% of the job

lappland start > ifrit > shu (just replace with anyone else) then typhon, and game over

texalter or anyone else to kill the one single guy on the right blue box

[ebon zephyr]

Bruh, we can deploy range heroes in low tiles?

[ocean ether]

we can for this map

[ebon zephyr]

Hateful

[ocean ether]

there is like a perfect ifrit and typhon tile right there LOL

not making use of it is just criminal

[glass monolith]

Bro didn't deploy mines in minesweeper map

[ocean ether]

I pledge myself in doing the most braindead strats that involves the least amount of buttons. Mines? Too many damn buttons

[ebon zephyr]

Ok the CM is hard af

Help

[ocean ether]

what is even your team?

[ocean ether]

do you have ifrit

or typhon

[delicate flare]

ifrit s2 sl7 solo dps'd the map for be

[ocean ether]

actually... just borrow ifrit, its a challenge stage, you not going to be re-doing it

[delicate flare]

just have good healers and defenders

which ya do

[ocean ether]

just borrow ifrit and place her where I did, then just AFK after setup

[ebon zephyr]

How'd you even killed the one on the side

[ocean ether]

textalter, you have yato.

[delicate flare]

the bottom left side?

yeah literally just frds

or use eyja s2 since they're fragile to arts

[ebon zephyr]

Deals nothing with cm debuff

[ocean ether]

the one on left? I just left lappland there for AFK

[delicate flare]

eyja s2

[ocean ether]

then place eyja in front of zuo le in this screenshot

she will hit the guy whenever he goes within eyja range. And nothing can hit her

[ocean ether]

2 blocks in front btw. Dont destroy the block

[ebon zephyr]

[ocean ether]

you could S3 if you want, or be lazy like me and just S2

[delicate flare]

S2 supremacy smh

Imagine having to click

(I dont have eyja)

[ocean ether]

I wish I could play NoClickKnights. But that did be too much since most skills need to click at least once or twice... so I settled for AFKnights

[ebon zephyr]

Odex 5 way easier

[ocean ether]

all the ODex are easy except 8

8 is easy if you cheese it with certain operators

[glass monolith]

By irony alot of "AFK" games demand fuck ton of click to optimize time outside clicks

[ocean ether]

i feel like my endgame experience in arknights will be finding a way to make noclicknights work
