strategy

[full terrace]

I'm assuming they are asking which unit to spend the freebie vouchers on

[scarlet mortar]

oh right those are a thing

i haven't logged on yet

[civic bear]

e2 proviso
use lvl 80 on other 5* dps or heck healer/defender or smth

[pure orchid]

how to lvl 80 if not e2

[civic bear]

save the ticket

[scarlet mortar]

for new accounts just slap the L80 one on your dps really

[pure orchid]

Thats some mighty patience but alr

[scarlet mortar]

doesn't matter which one

[civic bear]

i mean

new player getting e2 1 alone already kinda carries

[pure orchid]

Id rather just do both on teq and be done with it

[civic bear]

you could do that

[scarlet mortar]

i'd say rushing teq and using both tickets on him is good

base slave and dps in 1

[pure orchid]

[civic bear]

is teq even good base slave

alone that is

doesnt he want shamare

[pure orchid]

Not as good as proviso
Not alone either
But if you want combat + base, he's the best pick

[scarlet mortar]

it's not like there's another accessible dps that's good for base in the long run

being good later is ok

[full terrace]

Anyway, my answer is that, if you are new like super new with nothing to start on, it's better to spend those vouchers on Amiya or Lappland (preferably the latter), then borrow units and clear main story to unlock stuff. If you are an oldie and just looking to optimize stuff, then it's up for discussion whether you wanna spend them on base worker or combat.

[pure orchid]

having more and more people realize the genius of my teq recommendation gives me an ego boost

[azure jolt]

Nope

Hello, new starter and I'm looking to use one of the Training Invitations for an instant 5 star E2 in order to steam roll clear the event/farm stages as well have support also be E2. Mountain is my only 6 star.

I have Elysium. I also have the voucher to choose any 5 star. And the voucher to choose from a selection of four.

[narrow pendant]

U can pick lappland from the big 5* selector
Silence from the 4 choices
And use the e2 lvl80 on lappland, a pretty good pick for early

[pure orchid]

hehehe...

Might I suggest Tequila for the instant E2 and lvl80 ticket?

[full terrace]

It doesnt look like you have progressed much into the game. Would you mind consider rerolling?

[civic bear]

how easy is it to get tequila

[full terrace]

Tequila not for newbie

Need to clear the side story for him

[pure orchid]

DH-5 and dip i think

[full terrace]

Need a proper squad

[pure orchid]

What no its just dossoles

[void perch]

i already spent money. what would i be rerolling for anyways?

[narrow pendant]

Dh5 is somewhat hard-ish tho

Especually foor new acc

[pure orchid]

They read a bit esp. about the branch trait and its all good isnt it

Idk i always remembered DH as a whole being piss easy

[full terrace]

Ulpianus is quite good, or Penance is also pretty good if you consider rerolling

[void perch]

i mean, i don't think i have to reroll a new account. i was planning to roll on the ulpianus banner

[civic bear]

you dont have to, just suggesting to consider

[full terrace]

Yeah I agree with you it's easy but not for newbie with bunch of E0s and barely E1. They need something to start with and building from scratch just to unlock Tequila is kinda counter-productive. It is a valid choice for oldies who got the vouchers for free tho.

[void perch]

i mean, my question is more towards which 5 star should i E2 now with what i have to easily clear stages and also use support e2

[civic bear]

did you use the 5* ticket yet

[void perch]

no

i had a post above, ill post it again

[full terrace]

Ancool meant the selector

[civic bear]

the selector not for instant e2/insta lv 80

[void perch]

https://krooster.com/u/Btan

Hello, new starter and I'm looking to use one of the Training Invitations for an instant 5 star E2 in order to steam roll clear the event/farm stages as well have support also be E2. Mountain is my only 6 star.

I have Elysium. I also have the voucher to choose any 5 star. And the voucher to choose from a selection of four.

[civic bear]

lappland is the obvious choice then

you could try clearing dh-5 for tequila

[void perch]

i also have the new 6 star voucher

[pure orchid]

Let me try clearing dh-5 with lvl1

[civic bear]

that stage is a bit carried by stickers

which idk how easy is it for newbie to get?

[void perch]

ya i see lappland, specter, elysium brought up a lot

[civic bear]

do they unlock full stickers immediately

[pure orchid]

I think they do but im not sure

i imagine its like lone trail ball upgrades

[civic bear]

you could try to get tequila

hes free

but you just need to clear some stage

it might be strong enough

[pure orchid]

fuck my lappland isnt even e1 to be of any use

[scarlet mortar]

they do

[narrow pendant]

❓

[civic bear]

e1 squads should be able to clear

[narrow pendant]

Ban him

[civic bear]

e0 level 1 tho

with random ops a bit tough

[pure orchid]

I will ban you bozo

[scarlet mortar]

i made a new account a while ago and an account with like 2 E0max was enough to pass

no gacha

you have to abuse a killgate though

[full terrace]

If he wants to get Tequila that bad I think can borrow E1 Wis or Logos?

[civic bear]

he def can

[pure orchid]

Right

[civic bear]

cuz e1

[full terrace]

Plenty powerful for non EX stages I think

He has E1 I saw

[pure orchid]

Yep its definitely doable then

[civic bear]

we talking if a newbie

[pure orchid]

Why am i even wasting my drill plans

I forgot borrowing was a thing

[scarlet mortar]

E1 wins pretty easy

[civic bear]

2* clears the stage

tho they got some cheat op

[full terrace]

My bad, all I had in my mind is to help him, I thought we are talking about him 😅

I agree with you a total newbie is a bit tough

Well not tremendously but E0 really sucks

Courier dies defending 2 slugs

[civic bear]

tho i guess if they just level beagle and defenders and stuff

[full terrace]

And Medics cant really keep up the heal

[civic bear]

and borrow a

e0

[scarlet mortar]

i think two E1s would make it palpable

[full terrace]

Worth a try yeah

[civic bear]

logos ig since thatd be most common

[scarlet mortar]

if you're really new to strategy

[full terrace]

E1 I think you need to progress the early chapters a bit for materials

Chapter 1 I think

[civic bear]

e1 3*

[scarlet mortar]

^

[civic bear]

is there enough lmd?

to jumpstart

[full terrace]

From the collection of quests maybe?

[civic bear]

time to test

[full terrace]

I really havent touched any of the 3 Stars on my alt account 😅

[civic bear]

imma make new guest

[full terrace]

100/100 👍

[scarlet mortar]

iirc you can scrape out for one E1 3*

[civic bear]

when do you unlock the side story again?

i mean if its after like chapter 2

then you def got e1 already

[scarlet mortar]

finish ch1 or sth

[civic bear]

thats a bit late

[scarlet mortar]

no gacha didn't need any E1s for that

so yk, copeable

[full terrace]

I mean if you managed to E1 some 3 Stars then clearing Chapter 1 shouldnt be a problem

[foggy grove]

isn't there a mission to raise 3*?

[full terrace]

With borrow I mean

E1 Wis/Logos borrow

[scarlet mortar]

there're E0 borrows too

still very helpful for new players

[void perch]

is there a point in choosing both lappland and silverash on the free permits? or is it one or the other. i think theyre both the same type and silverash is better?

[civic bear]

might be same archetype but their job is a bit different

silverash (eventually at e2 which is where you want him to be) is more like bursty op, he kills most things in his s3.
lappland is more of consistent dps

[void perch]

ah okay. im still deciding who to pick from the free 5 and 6 star permits

[civic bear]

you do have mountain so

thorns silverash saria are valid targets

[full terrace]

Lappland is mainly used for her Silence. Aside from being able to E2 Lv80 her super early, she can carry you to Chapter 6 just fine (unlocking E2 materials to E2 your 6 Stars), the same cant be said with other 5 Stars.

[civic bear]

the 5* that only has 4 ops on the list silence (medic) is the best option

[full terrace]

Also why I always recommend Lappland to new players is that

[civic bear]

the 4 ops 5* selector still exist right

[full terrace]

She helps tremendously in clearing Stultifera Navis

Getting you full pot Lumen

[spark sinew]

how broken is full pot lumen

[full terrace]

Not broken but he helps newbie a lot

[scarlet mortar]

clearly p1 lumen is unusable

[full terrace]

Better than Ansel and Hibiscus

[tidal sedge]

If I borrow someone's max Wis'adel could I speedrun Stormwatch to the latest chapters? It's fine if I get only a few three star results but could I reach it quickly?

[full terrace]

Wisadel alone is quite tricky. You need a handful of E1s to assist her.

[autumn robin]

You can

[tidal sedge]

She isn't going solo I have some of my own squad members to help.

[autumn robin]

As long as you have meatshields

[full terrace]

Then you are good

[tidal sedge]

I'm not good enough to do solo...

[civic bear]

if you borrow max wisadel that alone assumes you got an e2 so yes

[tidal sedge]

Do I need to show my current squad?

[civic bear]

as long as you cover all the roles

that is medic defender sniper guard and what not

[tidal sedge]

I have no clue if it's a good squad.

[scarlet mortar]

wait, speedrun stormwatch as in ch10

or as in speedrun act 2

[civic bear]

9 to 14

ignore h stage

[tidal sedge]

Speedrun 9 to 14.

[full terrace]

You need to identify and deploy precisely but as long as you got a handful of E1s

[scarlet mortar]

ch12 might be an issue

[autumn robin]

Ch10 is easy for e2 wisadel

[tidal sedge]

I can show my squad hold on.

[scarlet mortar]

but that's just learning how to deal with mechanics ig

[full terrace]

There are plenty of low-end squad guides out there, and most of them ask for E1s squad, it's tricky but I think doable

Newbie nowadays got those vouchers and a 6 Star selector

[tidal sedge]

I'm not that new sadly.

[full terrace]

Even better

[civic bear]

take so long to reach chapter 1 ish

[full terrace]

Did you get Tequila?

[civic bear]

i just finished chapter 0

it just takes forever

[autumn robin]

Take your time bro

[scarlet mortar]

early tutorial slog

[tidal sedge]

Is that good for Wiš'adel?

[full terrace]

Bro.. you will clear that arc for sure

[tidal sedge]

I'm not good in Arknights...

[scarlet mortar]

oh. that's free

[autumn robin]

Man you can do any content with that, screw brains

[scarlet mortar]

lmfao

[tidal sedge]

They're under leveled though?

[scarlet mortar]

not really

[civic bear]

nah

[scarlet mortar]

in fact i would maybe say overlevelled

[foggy grove]

they're overlevelled

[tidal sedge]

No modules, I'm broke.

[foggy grove]

💀

[scarlet mortar]

(very overlevelled)

[civic bear]

normal stage of main story are intended for like for e1 mid level ish

[full terrace]

Low-end guides out there using E1 squads, you're more than fine with that team.

[scarlet mortar]

you could win all of act 2 without E2s so like

[tidal sedge]

I have zero confidence I'll get to episode 14.

[autumn robin]

If you still have any trouble with that squad, change hellagur with a gummy or nearl or saria and you are good to go

[civic bear]

believe in yourself

[foggy grove]

start cracking

[tidal sedge]

Anyone else to switch out?

[scarlet mortar]

doro for ch12 will be a boon

[foggy grove]

why hella hate smh

[scarlet mortar]

hellagur's already E2, it's fine to keep him imo

unless they have a better E2

[tidal sedge]

Some of my other Operators that are good aren't even leveled like Ceobe or Ela.

[full terrace]

Raise Ela

[tidal sedge]

Okay I'll try? Would she be a better Dorothy?

[scarlet mortar]

no

[autumn robin]

Let me see ...

1. Vanguard: good
2. Laneholder: mountain, pennace and one tank healer is ok
3. Healer: good, but need aoe healer ig
4. Caster : need one for arts damage
5. Bosskiller: ray
6. Anti air if necessary

But you are good to go

[scarlet mortar]

doro and ela have different advantages

you'd just use both

[tidal sedge]

I have severely underfed some Operators. I don't have any good snipers besides like, Blue Poison.

[scarlet mortar]

that squad's fine without medics, you just want regen if anything to slap on penance

[full terrace]

They are in the same archetype but play differently.

[scarlet mortar]

the tanks there can't be healed lmao

[tidal sedge]

Should I promote and level all of them?

To help Wiš'adel?

[scarlet mortar]

just do the stages first

[autumn robin]

I think your team comps need no dorothy, but if you insist you may,

[full terrace]

More reason to raise Ela then. She is more Sniper than Trapmaster

[civic bear]

just try first you would be surprised lots of the stages are simpler than you think

[tidal sedge]

I rolled and promoted her for Muelsyse.

[scarlet mortar]

learn to use your ops better, frankly you don't even need to borrow wis

[civic bear]

only boss stage really pose a problem because of stage mechanic more than anything

the rest are mostly doable by sheer stat force

[autumn robin]

Borrow a mlynar instead than dorothy i think

Than wis

[scarlet mortar]

doro would carry spy checks in ch12

[tidal sedge]

I think I can do three vanguards too? I have Elysium, Bagpipe, and Myrtle if that's required?

[foggy grove]

no

[scarlet mortar]

and elsewhere she's very controllable cc

[full terrace]

Actually I agree you dont even need to borrow anyone

[foggy grove]

you are fine dude.just go in first

[full terrace]

Aside from certain boss stages if you are struggling

[foggy grove]

[tidal sedge]

You guys are so nice. I don't even believe I'll pass Stormwatch.

[foggy grove]

if you are stuck,come again

[tidal sedge]

Mandoraga...

[autumn robin]

Read the description, learn the mechanics bro, you are way more stronger than you think

[civic bear]

yeah your struggle with boss is simply from not knowing the mechanic

[scarlet mortar]

mandra dies to pillars + ray

read boss descriptions if you're stuck

[civic bear]

mandra has short range too. and cant fly during phase 1

[tidal sedge]

Okay. I'll level everyone up to Level 1 E2 at least?

[civic bear]

if that helps reassure you sure

[narrow pendant]

Dont need to worry, story stages arent as hard as they seem at first

Youre fine

[tidal sedge]

You guys are great people. I will take the advice.

[narrow pendant]

You can fail but never lose!

[autumn robin]

[civic bear]

man lava sucks

durin better

[full terrace]

😂

[civic bear]

damn

dh5 actually probably the hardest stage

out of the farm stage

😂

still easy event with stickers tho

[full terrace]

🤣

Well at least we now have proof

Can recommend it to newbies if they are willing to put effort into it

Did you record the entire process? Would make a good content

[civic bear]

no

[full terrace]

When someone asks: here step by step to reach Tequila

[civic bear]

chapter 1 is kinda hard for newbie i feel

thats the bigger gate

[full terrace]

Yah

[scarlet mortar]

huh just raise kroos

[civic bear]

all lvl 1

[scarlet mortar]

throw bodies at the problem

[civic bear]

i mean yes

it clears

by just throwing body

but newbie dont undersstand that

p bad sstrategy

[scarlet mortar]

levelling some 3*s is fine at that point imo

as long as they're the useful ones

[civic bear]

well

hypothetically

there will be someone who only level high rarity

and then sees the guide

and be like "i dont have these op leveled"

[scarlet mortar]

those cases are bad yh

[civic bear]

even if their current op are stronger

if its lvl 1 there would be 0 excuse

[scarlet mortar]

but well, that's expected

if you want to rush you have to know what you're doing

else the early game taking a week or two is typical

[civic bear]

well the point of the guide is to rush without knowing what to do

[scarlet mortar]

nnnahhhhh

you can't accomodate for everyone

especially since rolling bad 5*s is all too common

[void wasp]

newbies start game with an instant e2lv1 5* pack, it relies on how they want to play as it unlocks all e2 supports right out of the bag

[civic bear]

no

its to unlock tequila

so you can use the insta e2 ticket on him instead

[scarlet mortar]

we're talking abt saving those tickets for teq

[void wasp]

That sounds like what speedrunners would do, (unless its jt8-3 speedrun ofc)

[scarlet mortar]

back in y1 we didn't have much content so there's not much pressure when you're dawdling around in act 0

[full terrace]

I pushed it all the way to mid Chapter 2 using everyone at Lv1 🤣 #strategy message

[scarlet mortar]

so imo the early ch's weren't so balanced as to be free for a blank slate roster

[full terrace]

But yeah I agree cant really set that high standard play for newbies

[scarlet mortar]

the next stage is harder though

i still haven't finished that strat

[void wasp]

i currently E2ing all 4stars, and realised Scavenger gets a bit more ATK just to be twice as squishy compared to Courier

[void wasp]

if they were to remove tutorial dump at start i would attempt jt8-3 speedrun (ticket amiya and speedrun the guardmiya and medicmiya maybe... dunno)

poor Adnachiel have no usecase

[civic bear]

ok i got it

[hazy sinew]

we have a Rangers shiller in help chat wtf

[full terrace]

Honestly I'd just recommend Lappland and tell newbies to build their Tequila slowly later on.

[hazy sinew]

look at help chat arflan

[full terrace]

I mean it's just the order, they are bound to raise Lappland for some contents anyway

[hazy sinew]

this guy is convinced Rangers is the best shit ever

I can't

[full terrace]

What is happening in help? I'm enjoying the discussion with Ancool about Tequila rush

[scarlet mortar]

dalaobow

[full terrace]

So it's Lappland first Tequila later, or Tequila first Lappland later.

[scarlet mortar]

did you abuse the killgate

[civic bear]

i have not got it

but no

[scarlet mortar]

i have no idea how to deal with the second wave so i'll wait to see what you cooked

well, i can deal with everything except the dockworkers with killgate abuse

just missing too much damage at the end

[civic bear]

😭

i just need one more body brah

life of using 12 ops

wait i think im just dumb

[full terrace]

Drat I cant join in the fun

Do I make another new account and rush to this place? 😂

Or wait 26 hours for a new Event Crystal

[full terrace]

Will the 13th slot help? The objective is just to get 3 Star clear right? Not that it must be done without Support.

Open Logos domain expansion maybe

[civic bear]

it will ofc

[full terrace]

And then remove some dps slots

For more bodies

[civic bear]

im trying

just to prove the point

[full terrace]

I wanna play so bad

[civic bear]

with no support full e0 1

[full terrace]

But cant open the event

[civic bear]

10% trust tho

but surely that ok

[scarlet mortar]

full E0L1 is wew

defenders get slapped to death

and yato doesn't have her rdp talent

[full terrace]

Yeah more or less my trust

Maybe I'll just rush to this place hmm

[civic bear]

yeah nvm it just not working 😭

im just missing dmg in this one place

[scarlet mortar]

i think that's just a damage check ngl

[civic bear]

imma try orchid

[scarlet mortar]

orchid sux

i used her...

[civic bear]

slow still

[full terrace]

You wait there, I'm gonna rush here for the fun 😂

Dont finish it too quick

[civic bear]

omg she much better than shitty ass jessica

[void wasp]

all you have to get is 12 stars, leak some enemies maybe?

[civic bear]

15

[void wasp]

wow...

[civic bear]

unless the tutorial counts?

i dont think so

[void wasp]

tutorial probably counts

[full terrace]

@civic bear oh how about this

[scarlet mortar]

they don't

you can maybe 2* DH-5 and then beat DH-6 any which way

[full terrace]

DH-5 1 Star finish, then DH-6 2 Stars finish? If DH-6 is easier that is

[scarlet mortar]

still gets you teq

but that's lame....

[scarlet mortar]

1* is impossible anw

[void wasp]

atleast they handover all the tickets of buff

[scarlet mortar]

you can get two 2*s

[void wasp]

if you leak its 2 star, no leak 3 star

[scarlet mortar]

from DH-5 and 6

[civic bear]

WHAT IS UP

orhcid too good

[maiden hound]

your skill issue

[scarlet mortar]

LETSGO

[full terrace]

Ah I just started rushing the fun is over

[civic bear]

takes forever bro

to reach this

[full terrace]

Now go recommend this to newbies

🤣🤣🤣

[pure orchid]

Is my teq recommendation falling in shambles? 🥹

[scarlet mortar]

did lancet's emergency heal help there

[scarlet mortar]

i mean

[full terrace]

No, it's valid if oldies get the vouchers

[scarlet mortar]

ancool showed that it's winnable

but gl having a newbie reproduce that

[full terrace]

Newbies like pure newbies will find it a little hard unless they build some units

[scarlet mortar]

it's pretty dang hard

even with sticker carry you're expected to plan well for wave 2

[full terrace]

I mean Ancool did it with E0 L1, if the newbies want Tequila that bad, they can always get Kroos or something to E0 max level, that'd make big difference

So from that angle it's not that hard hard

[scarlet mortar]

ehg i tried that myself

[scarlet mortar]

oh hey same opener

[full terrace]

Video wont load for me

[green gazelle]

yo guys anyone that can help me on jt8-3

having a dificult time there

[scarlet mortar]

ah yh that's much better rotation than what i did

so the stall to rdp isn't necessary

[pure orchid]

Hmm. For some reason, this looks easy to me

[civic bear]

well

it looks

[pure orchid]

I mean i couldn't have come up with it myself

[scarlet mortar]

bro the rotation to open

[civic bear]

took a long time to find the opener

[scarlet mortar]

i didn't try that hard

[pure orchid]

And i dont expect a newbie to make that on their own either

But it looks smooth

[civic bear]

cuz the main problem is the archer

[scarlet mortar]

just fang plume

[civic bear]

its killing everything

so has to kill them in time

[pure orchid]

And adding more levels will just make that a lot smoother

[scarlet mortar]

yh you need to rotate so that the blockers become the last deployed

levels don't matter much since there're stickers

[civic bear]

broken +200 atk

[scarlet mortar]

without doing this the archers just delete your ranged ops

[full terrace]

This looks like stickers abuse 100% 🤣

I was just typing

[civic bear]

not sure if need 5th sticker

maybe smth else is better

[scarlet mortar]

idt there's better stickers in there

i have the same loadout

[tidal sedge]

I'm back. Is Chongyue good because when I use him he takes too long to get S3. So should I replace him with Ela since I have Mountain?

[pure orchid]

Id use the same stickers ngl

[green gazelle]

need help on clearing jt8-3 with this squad

[civic bear]

where exactly are you struggling

[foggy grove]

Ditch mountain for ela

[civic bear]

fireball?

phase 2

[foggy grove]

[civic bear]

or somewhere else

[green gazelle]

leaking spear oponents

also fireball

[civic bear]

spear need block 2

[green gazelle]

also just not dying

[civic bear]

just block 2

[full terrace]

Do you mind borrowing there

[civic bear]

dont put units in adjacent to each other

penance not that useful here

[green gazelle]

i mean yeah if push comes to shove

[civic bear]

unless u use s2

[green gazelle]

other useful ops

[full terrace]

You can borrow Nightingale then, she is MVP in this stage

[civic bear]

not sure where else would be a problem

as long as you dont put units adjacent to each other

then burn cant kill you

[green gazelle]

i can stream it guys so you see the problem

[civic bear]

you got enough medic

sure

[green gazelle]

i have massive skill issue

[full terrace]

Your ops are powerful enough, I can run you a quick simulation with that

If you want

[green gazelle]

wait my discord is not detecting arknights

[civic bear]

seems like mobile discord issue with mp4

do retreat units when they bout to die like that

[scarlet mortar]

typhon should probs be deployed later

wasted S3

[civic bear]

no blockers

too focused on killing the boss

just take it slow

[scarlet mortar]

unga pov

[civic bear]

the boss isnt leaving in 2 minutes

[green gazelle]

I see

[civic bear]

https://streamable.com/k5xv6u try this

[scarlet mortar]

yh not a good choice to proc the fireball wave while everything else is happening

[fierce mural]

Something's up ?

[civic bear]

mlynar is a bit of deadweight in this one

[full terrace]

The previous one loaded already

[civic bear]

you want 2+ blockers

[full terrace]

I watched haha

@green gazelle lemme see your specialists

[civic bear]

use jessica

jessica s2

remove lapp

[scarlet mortar]

mlynar's gonna be deadweight

[fierce mural]

Oh, is this JT8-3 ?

[scarlet mortar]

amiya S1

[green gazelle]

Yes

[civic bear]

you dont need to much blocker

[fierce mural]

Yeah use Amiya S1

[civic bear]

just two is enough

or rather 3 technically

[scarlet mortar]

surtr can replace mlynar ig

[civic bear]

but only 2 2block

[full terrace]

Ela is a good opener and Yato is a good ignition bait

[civic bear]

reed is ok, surtr ok

[scarlet mortar]

for emergency unga

[civic bear]

easy playstyle is to just ignore the boss until the boss comes to the middle (aka right in front of middle blue box)

shu same position, jessica would be 2 tile below covering the other lane

[fierce mural]

I think Amiya can tank the boss there

[civic bear]

yes

amiya tank boss

[fierce mural]

Yeah, strong Amiya

Could use more healers tbh

[civic bear]

adjacent placement is a bit worrying

[scarlet mortar]

NG S3's kinda wasted

[fierce mural]

Personal thoughts

Also Fang' position worries me

rip

Time for a reset

[civic bear]

bro you have like so much dp why arent you deploying op

[scarlet mortar]

top lane has no damage

ripge

[civic bear]

reset

[fierce mural]

Yikes

[civic bear]

let me draw it up

[scarlet mortar]

10/10 clutch

[fierce mural]

You have GG

[civic bear]

holdup

first of all you got bunch of ranged but they cant get to play

[scarlet mortar]

this is why i stay in bullet time for half the map

[civic bear]

yet

[fierce mural]

Maybe deploy Perfurmer later

And put a range near Shu

[scarlet mortar]

wis should btfo both lanes

[fierce mural]

Put Shu right next to Shu facing down

Can cover both lane

[fierce mural]

Also use Jess S2

She has like

a shit ton of dodge there

I believe

[scarlet mortar]

talulah does true damage

[fierce mural]

Oh she is ?

Rip

[civic bear]

why is perfurmer deployed there 😭

[fierce mural]

I thought she deals Arts

[civic bear]

well it works ig

[scarlet mortar]

the fireballs are arts

[fierce mural]

The DoT is Arts lmao

The slash is True

[civic bear]

dot is true

[scarlet mortar]

[civic bear]

only arts is fireball, crss explosion, and the flower thing

[fierce mural]

Oh, I see

[scarlet mortar]

rip perfumer

[civic bear]

[fierce mural]

Damn

Congratz

[green gazelle]

No way

[scarlet mortar]

fuch i can't watch on mobile

[green gazelle]

Wait gotta cook rice

[fierce mural]

Lolw okay

[civic bear]

jessica skill btw

when you come back just use jessica s2

you can save that ng later

[fierce mural]

Also you have two birdcages

Use that or use Jessica S2

[civic bear]

also try logos early

dont lgoos when the fireball already bout to reach

since the skill last longer than the fireball duration

if you skill earlier it deleted earlier before it can reach ur op

[scarlet mortar]

ASMR stream

[fierce mural]

Unsettling ASMR stream

Just gonna play Xhronoxapsule in meantime

[green gazelle]

Im back

[scarlet mortar]

jess is gonna explode

[civic bear]

noone is on the middle btw

that cuora is pointless

[scarlet mortar]

brute force win

[civic bear]

the boss just "comes back" only to play death animation

[scarlet mortar]

gg

[fierce mural]

gratz

Back to rhythm game

[green gazelle]

Finally im stuck at this level for about 4months

I managed to complete every stage other than that one

[scarlet mortar]

[civic bear]

theres h8-4

[fierce mural]

4 months sounds a lot

[civic bear]

you really should know what the boss does tho

you couldve done it even faster then

[green gazelle]

What a ton of rewards after completing that level

[fierce mural]

Glory and some originiums I guess

[green gazelle]

I can still play arknights just not tab out

[scarlet mortar]

[celest bluff]

I am tempted to use the E2 ticket on Underflow because her base skill damn, that look good

[green gazelle]

If i have a nickel everytime this happen I'll have 2 nickel its not a lot but weird it happen 2 times

[fierce mural]

Don't that skill needs Ulpianus

[green gazelle]

Hopefully not again

[celest bluff]

[green gazelle]

Bro my laptop is literally off and im still pn the call how

[fierce mural]

I see

[celest bluff]

Discord lag on the server

[fierce mural]

For me. Shu would try to fight Ulpianus then

[green gazelle]

My laptop is not opening

Let me cool it off

I can still play arknight on my phone no worries

[lapis hornet]

man sacrificed his laptop to clear jt83 respect

🫡

[green gazelle]

I have the dedication

[full terrace]

Oh you cleared it? Okay nvm

Congrats

[green gazelle]

Yep cleared it now i can have enough mats for maybe E2 previso and E2 la pluma

Will see

Might also just build another 6 star

Depending in my mood

[full terrace]

I was making you a short clip coz I thought it wasnt that difficult with your squad, but the compression took forever

This is why I hate making clips, compression is like 40 mins sigh

[scarlet mortar]

crispy frames

[civic bear]

use ffmpeg

[green gazelle]

Yep managed to complete it somehow

Dunno how

Nightgale still stage mvp

I think

[lapis hornet]

doable with whisperain

but yeah ngs good

[full terrace]

Yeh Nightingale is really MVP coz she replaces 2 (3) FRDs

The easy way out

[green gazelle]

Guysss pog

My laptop is fine

It just open

[nocturne cove]

Damn

My laptop could never

Emulator and arknights spell death to my laptop

[full terrace]

This?

[celest bluff]

I could use e2 ticket on Mayer and get a flat %30 fac

[civic bear]

oh ur on android

i mean it could work

[full terrace]

Yah I'm playing on phone

Okay I'll try it

[green gazelle]

Im using google play games

Quite good

[civic bear]

not too sure how it works on android tho but i assume thats a gui so it tells you how to

[full terrace]

I never really understand emulator struggle. Back during Shu's event everyone was screaming about frame drop, lag, etc when the mosquitoes swarmed

Mine was 100% fine

[celest bluff]

shit lag even on phone

[green gazelle]

Yeah bro that thing almost made my phone explode

[full terrace]

Nah it was fine for me

Wait what

I thought its emulator thingy 😐

[green gazelle]

I was using reed alter s3 on one of the stage where at the end of the stage like 50 to 70 mosquito is on the screen it lagged so badly I feel like my phone will also explode like those mosquito

[full terrace]

Hmm it was fine for me so I thought it's an emulator struggle

Nvm me then

[foggy grove]

it's device issue

emulator or not

[lapis hornet]

emu is harsh on hardware

[full terrace]

So I heard from my friends yeah

[nocturne cove]

@civic bear which one is better overall- yato alter it texas alter? Also do you have maff?

[pure orchid]

Oh no

Well, math won't really do much here since firstly they deal different damage type

[civic bear]

[nocturne cove]

I just wanna know damage output

Not for comparison

And I want his opinion

So...

[pure orchid]

Alright then

[civic bear]

kinda same tier honestly

is use yato more

[full terrace]

I prefer Arts lol

[pure orchid]

Physical damage formula is better so i vote yato

[civic bear]

yato is basicly both

[nocturne cove]

Doesnt yato deal both arts and physical

Ya

[full terrace]

There are plenty of physical dps already, I'd rather have Arts

[civic bear]

sheslike 3/2 aphys arts

on s2 that is

[pure orchid]

Oh what 3/2? damn

i thought phys did more

[civic bear]

on s3 yes

[nocturne cove]

I started to undermine texas2 capabilities once I saw yato2 against the IW boss

[pure orchid]

Oh, i use s3 more often
the invuln is hard to pass up

[civic bear]

thats her edge

yato is used mainly because s3 is invul

[pure orchid]

Exactly

[civic bear]

so its just free

no interaction

[pure orchid]

i think S2 has higher dmg but it has its risks

[civic bear]

yato still is primarily damage

which is a problem

[full terrace]

Balance is the key especially if you are playing IS. If you draft someone like Wisadel, Asca, Mlynar there are plenty of physical dps. I prefer pure Arts FRD and Helidrop like Texas and Surtr in that case.

[civic bear]

texalt s2 s3 still does something

[pure orchid]

In most cases not really but i get what youre tryna say

texalt s2 -res is niche but actually something when it matters

texalt s3 stun is yeah

[civic bear]

its a good effect overall

even if she stops doing damage

[nocturne cove]

0.2 second

I honestly never use s3

[pure orchid]

It stops a lot of enemy from attacking

[civic bear]

its attack cancel

[nocturne cove]

S2 cuz it's her main dps

And -res so my gg and other casters can get support

[nocturne cove]

Im unaware

[full terrace]

Primarily Logos if you have him but yes

[pure orchid]

My brain just fits every single dps in my teamcomp anyways so

im kinda biased towards yato's guarantee on s3

[nocturne cove]

Like those things that eat your op when come in contact?

Can she cancel the animation?

[civic bear]

yes

if the timing matchup

would depend on enemy attack interval

[lapis hornet]

just use chen s1 what's the problem smh my head

[civic bear]

but generally enemy attack every integer value

[pure orchid]

The animation is really slow so yeah

[civic bear]

so it cancels throughout skill duration

some enemy attack every ~.x second in which she might cancel only first few attack

depending on how fast enemy startup animation

[pure orchid]

Wake me up when chen doesnt have 60 rdp time like texas 🥱

[nocturne cove]

Is relic

[lapis hornet]

why redeploy

[nocturne cove]

Idk the name of

[pure orchid]

Nas whos side are you on smh

[nocturne cove]

Oh sorry

Mb

[civic bear]

this why i think hteyre both just same tier rn

its kinda just like what you feel like at the time

[nocturne cove]

Wdym qyuri is correct

💯

[pure orchid]

Forget it

[lapis hornet]

i tend to prefer texas purely cause mine p5 bit honestly they both kinda same thing

[civic bear]

texas just need to get dp mod bro

it sucks wasting 8 dp

[lapis hornet]

nas i thought you were on the side of truth and justice aka mine

[pure orchid]

Alright if i were to pot 4 one singular frd, should i do Yato or Texas

[civic bear]

theyll be washed one day

doesnt matter

[pure orchid]

Actually I just might do Yato for the true limited flex

[civic bear]

🥺

[pure orchid]

Man we dont talk about that

[nocturne cove]

I don't think....they will release another frd

[spark sinew]

that sure sounds like something that a side of falsehood and injustice would say

[nocturne cove]

Or will they?

[pure orchid]

Can't wait for Wis'adel alter in 2030 to just blow my brains out or smth

[civic bear]

theyll release another class that plays the same like a frd would just different name

[nocturne cove]

3 6 star frd

Ah

Maybe

[pure orchid]

The Centurion incident

[full terrace]

They already did with Ines S3

Just not pure FRD

[lapis hornet]

man texas and yato play so much more different from the rest of ak that it's almost another game, don't think more of them would be healthy

[nocturne cove]

Imagine a skill that reduces the next redeployment time

[pure orchid]

Whats even the difference between mech-accord and core caster zzz

[scarlet mortar]

inspiration buff

[spark sinew]

mech accords want to stay on the target and ramp up

they also have different statlines

[pure orchid]

Don't they basically play the same tho

[scarlet mortar]

nah not really

[civic bear]

Core caster kinda cheated the exam

[spark sinew]

core casters except ceobe just charge their s3 and wipe everything around them

[civic bear]

They went multi target instead

[spark sinew]

mech accords are st

[pure orchid]

Well, i guess ive never seen a mech-accord with multi target

[scarlet mortar]

core casters are more the "anything goes" archetype

[pure orchid]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY

[scarlet mortar]

mech-accords are ST

[pure orchid]

They had an idea with eyja

[full terrace]

They play differently imo, unless you meant the skill tapping

[pure orchid]

And then logos did logos things

[full terrace]

In that angle every op plays the same

[civic bear]

I mean now mechs are doing it too. Lappter 🥺

It's only the beginning bro

[pure orchid]

Lapp is also multi?

What is even happening

[scarlet mortar]

4 targets

[pure orchid]

Yup why

[spark sinew]

is lapp alter just arts mlynar!

[nocturne cove]

Wow my gg switches enemies 😔...like 2 drones on someone and 1 drone on the guy that is running like flash and will reach blue box faster

[civic bear]

Modern op be like

It better have 2 skills

For 2 situation

That they might want who knows

[pure orchid]

I think its a step in the right direction tho

I pull for an op with 3 skills

I want to be able to use all 3 skills

[civic bear]

Idk how I feel about every op that just has afk skill, multi target skill, st skill, and the utility skill

[pure orchid]

without having to force it

[spark sinew]

making every skill good just limits future design space i feel

you can instead make 2 shitty skills and save a good idea for new operator

[pure orchid]

Hmm

[civic bear]

Or

Just yknow

[pure orchid]

Maybe

[spark sinew]

obviously you can say

[pure orchid]

We should just go back to the good ol

[civic bear]

Slightly weaker version

With slight tweak

[pure orchid]

POWER STRIKE Y

[spark sinew]

"just make the numbers really good on shitty skill"

[pure orchid]

or atk up Y

[lapis hornet]

have you seen wis's power strike it op bro

[spark sinew]

like chalter?

not sure people liked it

[pure orchid]

Idk what's healthier for the game tbh

[spark sinew]

makes it too obvious

[pure orchid]

They make characters more expensive to build so it encourages more spending

But then they run out of ideas faster

[civic bear]

Nothing wrong with not all skill being usable

[nocturne cove]

Gg s3 is such a downgrade compared to lappland s3

[spark sinew]

good

[civic bear]

My gripe is like

Wisadel s3 is obv a huge dph good DPS skill

[weak gazelle]

surprise if i still see wis only m3 build :clueless:

[civic bear]

Got everything you want out of her in that skill

Ok next skill

How about the other side of dimension

[pure orchid]

Do people still shill wis s1m3

[civic bear]

Low dph but stupid high dps

[pure orchid]

Good

[civic bear]

Just make no sense

Why 1 op gets to cover literally all bases

[pure orchid]

Design failure

[lapis hornet]

ppl who anti shill wis s1 are ppl who can't afford to play afk

[weak gazelle]

hg got bored maybe and decide "why dont we create an absurd lvl once in a while"

[scarlet mortar]

the same button-allergic people? yh ofc

[nocturne cove]

I only realised her S1 was good

When I was playing is

[civic bear]

I love afk

Less button better

[nocturne cove]

I want to mastery it now

[pure orchid]

I stand by my argument that most stages end so quick that one S3 activation is enough, effectively making it afk

For stages that take long, you probably wouldn't use s1 anyways because of the difficulty that accompanies said length

Wis offskill dps with s3 isnt bad either

[lapis hornet]

[spark sinew]

yeah don't mastery s1

else you'll be like cake

[lapis hornet]

deleted all my ss so don't have other pics sadge

[spark sinew]

bringing 3 dead slots for sui passive 🫡

[pure orchid]

Lmao sui rot is real

Id probably do it too just for the flex, if i had sui

[nocturne cove]

i-

Yes

[spark sinew]

i hate how all lowstep shit brings them anyway

[lapis hornet]

bros never seen a low step in his life smh

[full terrace]

I stand with Qyurii in this one, I have been disagreeing with him the whole day 😂

[civic bear]

U hate rich ppl

Is ok

[full terrace]

There is no need for S1

[nocturne cove]

Yeah

[pure orchid]

You have? I haven't noticed

[nocturne cove]

I just realised

He doesn't want you

[pure orchid]

[full terrace]

I have, from the Tequila shil and all that

[civic bear]

I mean obv it's not needed . It's just good in lowstep context

[pure orchid]

Im not projecting !!!

[full terrace]

I do feel bad about the disagreement but I chose to be honest with myself

[spark sinew]

no one argues that it's bad in lowstep

[civic bear]

Which is just a funni niche

[full terrace]

So I went and showed it

[pure orchid]

Tbf that tequila shill had flaws

Wtf dont think about lil ol me

The self comes first

Ill be fine

[scarlet mortar]

it's always funny to check in arkrec for records like 2step ft. "2op"

and then you look inside

[pure orchid]

Sui?

[scarlet mortar]

and it's 12op

[pure orchid]

[civic bear]

Tbf

Usually when it's that low of a step

[native viper]

how can I stop having an infinite loop on this

[civic bear]

They bring all those op because already set same squad all the time

[pure orchid]

Make that tower explode babygurl

[civic bear]

There's no point in taking them down since it doesn't really effect record

[full terrace]

Oh my god that stage brings back some unpleasant memory

When that brute force enjoyer

Ahem..

[pure orchid]

NO STOP

NOOOOOOOOOOO

[full terrace]

Okay I shut my mouth

[pure orchid]

Maintain the peace

[full terrace]

🤣

[pure orchid]

😭

[nocturne cove]

Dang

[weak gazelle]

well... that how it is
if want to blame, blame sui siblings instead

[nocturne cove]

Does ulpi stun

Also cancel the eating animation

[spark sinew]

did you read his kit

[nocturne cove]

I don't know but ulpi always dies

[pure orchid]

Any stun will cancel any animation

[nocturne cove]

? Ulpi?

[civic bear]

It does but you need proper timing

[scarlet mortar]

wait which eating anim

[pure orchid]

The vore things

[scarlet mortar]

sarkaz vore guys?

[pure orchid]

Yes

You read my mind

I offer my brain to you (it's useless)

[spark sinew]

oh the 2 messages were part of the same sentence

[civic bear]

Unless do you mean like if it cancels and then it won't eat anymore?

Which is no

It only delays

[pure orchid]

It will try to eat again when the stun is over

[nocturne cove]

I have been reading ulpi's kit over and over again

[scarlet mortar]

yh bc that's not a direct soln to the vore guys

[nocturne cove]

I have learned jt

[scarlet mortar]

he just gets more time to whack them

[pure orchid]

I like summon for vore

Or just idk killing them from RANGE

and the 0-block goodness that is assclown

You can also cancel with shift

I remember gavialt s2

good times

[pure orchid]

an deploy on, Ulpianus will Mo?

My Pure Gold ran out so fast

[regal frost]

[spark sinew]

is this a base talk in #strategy !

[regal frost]

for alt it's 3 exp 2 gold

[pure orchid]

We've been talking about whatever in strat anyways

[full terrace]

3 exp 2 gold because 252?

[regal frost]

ya

[spark sinew]

even 3 gold in MR runs out, but very slowly

[full terrace]

Can 3 gold sustain the 2 Trading Posts there

[spark sinew]

although ulpi might fix that

[full terrace]

Why do I always run out of gold 😂

[spark sinew]

i bled around 2k bars in 2 years
