strategy

[nocturne cove]

And how cuz idfk

[pure orchid]

Mumu cute

[pure solar]

Hoe is actually good especially when he's maxed out

He makes boss fights easier

[nocturne cove]

70 second skill

[pure orchid]

You know who else makes boss fights easier

[nocturne cove]

I was astonished when I found that out

[pure orchid]

Ulpianus!!!

[pure solar]

I wanted Ulpian

[zinc flume]

Wdym, the corrals were strategic bait

[pure orchid]

Fr

[pure solar]

Ulpian and Hoe would have be deadly together

[nocturne cove]

Yeah

Big buff man

💅

[pure solar]

I hope to get Ulpan soon enough so I can do my Ulpan-Hoe combo

I have plenty of EX stages I haven't done that they can be useful for

[narrow pendant]

:ya:

[nocturne cove]

I hope I didn't rush all the stories

So I had something to do now

And well I'm poor

So i need those ops

[pure solar]

Usually rush all the stages then go back to read

[nocturne cove]

This will be the first ever event I will be reading

I read the main story til chapter 7

[pure solar]

I regret reading Babel but it made me love Theresis more than I already did

The Doctor chose the wrong sibling to fall in love with

[nocturne cove]

Theresa or theresis

Oh nvm

Lol

[pure solar]

Lol I just love Sarkaz men so I have a bias

[nocturne cove]

Name says it all

[pure solar]

I didn't have this problem until I played Arknights I used to have normal taste in men

[nocturne cove]

Lol

Flamebringer was one of the few ops I build when I started out

Then I joined #help

[pure solar]

Flamebringer is good if you use him right put him where he can kill enemies without getting overwhelmed by the crowd and he can solve lots of problems

[nocturne cove]

Ofc you will shill him

🤣

[pure solar]

I mostly used him on boss fights because he was perfect for it

[nocturne cove]

Time to eep

[pure solar]

Alright sleep well

[smoky halo]

fredi maleknights dalao now?

[narrow pendant]

Nuh uh

[smoky halo]

did u get him

[narrow pendant]

U think he'd be saying that if he had

[smoky halo]

maybe he got him

after like 200 or smthing

idfk

[zinc flume]

Would be very funny if he didn't

[narrow pendant]

Cuz he didnt

[split cloak]

This shit is ass. Time to do cm

Any tips?

Myrtle gets one shot by first boulder i used to block for civi ripbozo

[cyan gorge]

maybe don't use myrtle to block it

[split cloak]

Bib

[tidal sedge]

You can cycle+redeploy 2 defenders to block boulders at relevant times

[terse sierra]

I heard trapmaster traps stop the floor collapsing

[tidal sedge]

I am not entirely sure but I think Ulpi s3 can shed Gardener debuffs? If so he can probably solo dps leftside.

I'll give that a test ig

[split cloak]

I need to protect the civis not the planks hmm

[split cloak]

He does

[terse sierra]

the rock cycle goes top
then right

so you can undeploy if you are doing blockers

also if you have walt, you can place her in a specific way

to just murk the enemies coming

[split cloak]

Okay i fixed the boulder issue lol

Cuz yall's tips are about managing left side where i dont have the issue, it's the boulder

[frozen cobalt]

sup guys. whats the best characters to roll for on a new account? (including limiteds?)

[split cloak]

January 16, go to #help for betterhelp

[frozen cobalt]

https://ak.gamepress.gg/tier-list/arknights-operator-tier-list according to this website its virtuosa

[split cloak]

Dont trust tier lists

Virtuosa is limited and already ran months ago

Next limited is pepe banner, I'd roll for narantuya

[frozen cobalt]

alright well is that tier list still relevant even if its months old?

[split cloak]

A modification i made is just…. Put myrtle on middle boulder instead of right and let saga tank for civi

[tidal sedge]

Gamepress is super dead and almost all info on there is outdated

[split cloak]

A tiny tiny bit but no. Just ask #help for better operator insight rather than relying on tier lists

[weak gazelle]

gardener debuff can be countered by 'redeploy'
ulpi s3 and dollkeeper is the best example for that

[split cloak]

Shu is just perfect for me. I will spark her when the time comes. unless my gacha fingers itch

[weak gazelle]

there is a lot of time until then
so yeah good luck holding back not gacha for 6 months

[split cloak]

I want to go for first 6* in pepe and dunmeshi character. I also want suzumom. Maybe I’ll just cut off pepe an dunmeshi first 6* cuz that’s about 80 pulls

[weak gazelle]

its up to you bro
make a prio list would help i guess to manage pulls :ya:

[tidal sedge]

I can't remember the 2 defender rotation for boulders

[split cloak]

Is there a site for a pull planer or nah?

[tidal sedge]

Firewatch soloing Fortuna is still funny though.

[weak gazelle]

haha firewatch being firewatch again

[tidal sedge]

I feel like this was the last time she was really good. That I can remember at least.

[weak gazelle]

i dont remember for pull planar site
is it hermitzplannar?

ed2 (alter version) IS4 she can be used to snipe down ufo
well require sing fold tho

[tidal sedge]

Nice.

[split cloak]

Ill check thanks. Since i got like 3 or 4 skins in sight too

[weak gazelle]

sadly for 5* user like me
future ops look grim, only few of them worth to raise

[split cloak]

I can only see tin man and the new shaper lel

[tidal sedge]

Unfortunate

[weak gazelle]

thinking i should go back to casual idea

mitm, rose salt, bobbing, tin man, tecno, papyrus
yeah thats it :icant:

where 5* loop shooter

[turbid badge]

arkhy, ya looked into senshi?

[weak gazelle]

yeah but thinking not going to build him

it just nearl are still superior

[turbid badge]

nearl talent stonk

[split cloak]

The list is decent but bobbing kinds ass tho ngl

[turbid badge]

5* arts defender when

[weak gazelle]

his only job is warmy enabler

[split cloak]

We already have

[turbid badge]

yeah i just realized what I said

[split cloak]

Ah true. My warmy is ready for e2

[turbid badge]

wait

arkhy your not gonna raise figurino?

[nocturne cove]

No I didn't

I got a qiubai

Back to saving

[weak gazelle]

who is figurino?

[tidal sedge]

5* merchant in Lapp+Vulpis banner

25 DP for 8 second bind

[smoky halo]

wow u can do ra danger mode day 2000 now

[tidal sedge]

Also I'm so washed. I know there's a way to rotate 2 defenders for HE-EX 8 but I can't remember the timings and positions

I can only remember that blocking at a certain point is bait as the civs only eat 1 boulder before gardener moves them.

[nocturne cove]

Well I don't think I will be raising her any time soon

Tell me usage in IS instead

I despise RA

[weak gazelle]

i see, tho no idea about figurino
will looking for it later

[tidal sedge]

Maybe I used Friston to do damage to a certain plank

[smoky halo]

is4ed4
is5ed4

[tidal sedge]

Apparently I did it like this. Thanks past me.

[weak gazelle]

tbh lurk
i dont even remember what i did in this event maps
just go through auto all off them

only he-7 that i tweak a bit

fuck gel, for some reason my stock only at 1 digit :icant:

[cyan gorge]

All my autos still work just fine

haven't looked at EX yet

[kind tartan]

What should I do here or any advice?

[spark sinew]

do you have at least 8 hp

honestly not sure this clears

[civic bear]

5 squad slots

Xd

[vivid rain]

Do you need the complete guide

[kind tartan]

I only have one hp because of the debuff

[nocturne cove]

I'm afraid you're cooked

[kind tartan]

It's my first time at this stage and most of the guides I watched don't have the debuffs so idk what to do with 5 operators

Nvm I lost

[scarlet mortar]

5 deploy is kind of a death sentence there

[pure orchid]

Playing that stage with 5 deploy is just putting yourself in the pillory

[scarlet mortar]

unless you have some godsend relic combo it's not really feasible for the typical player to have 5 ops that survive the cannons

[vivid rain]

What if wisadel solo

[void wasp]

can't solo both bosses i believe unless you got some brokenass relics i'm unaware off

[void wasp]

bro i lost like 5 times before that one run i got some good relics and free Aak

[sharp pine]

How to do exec alt stage?

[full terrace]

Which stage?

[vernal lion]

peak skill design lol

literally How to use 100% efficiency of vanguard op

[wise idol]

I really cant stand HE-TR-2 its flippin dumb as shit

its dumb as shit

this game will not let me pass the flippin trianing with out loosing anyone

[vernal lion]

need a video?

[wise idol]

what i need is the system to stop forcing em to loose shit

[vernal lion]

EN can't read tho

[wise idol]

oh Global can read though lol

[wise idol]

who is this???

[vernal lion]

Figurino

[wise idol]

oh so um usless unit ok lol

they should let us just skip the stupid ass traning thing

[vernal lion]

here, take it

[wise idol]

its so dumb by the time they stop yappin they stupid ass thing is already at the hole

[weak gazelle]

so 8s duration for figurino hmm

merchant have low atk base to begin with

[scarlet mortar]

people skip training stages
they don't know how mechanics work
they fail the real stages
"bs event, everything's so conplicated"

[weak gazelle]

at least i have an excuse to raise poncirus if wanna build figurino :ya:

[scarlet mortar]

that said this TR is slightly more hands-on than usual

which makes it even funnier that the fences never get used

[vernal lion]

yea lol

[scarlet mortar]

twice across the entire event

[wise idol]

well yes and no traning stages yes indeed are helpful BUT also very anoying as you cant use your units you have to use the units provided thus not indicative on how it would really play out

[remote perch]

[scarlet mortar]

er, the point of a training stage is to introduce a mechanic

[narrow pendant]

Dont bother

[wise idol]

yes and alot of the units poepl ahve can easaly bypass it toa point

[narrow pendant]

This guy is dumb as rocks

[scarlet mortar]

you want the intended solution to rely on the mechanic, not the wis'adel people will obviously borrow

[narrow pendant]

He doesnt like anything

[remote perch]

and you think giving you your own units will make it better?
How will they introduce the mechanic when you can just brute force the tutorial with your units?

[weak gazelle]

[scarlet mortar]

this is like someone saying why have worked examples in textbooks when you can just google the answer

[wise idol]

So they give us gravle
well then let us use our own gravle

[remote perch]

Whats the difference
its still fucking gravel

[wise idol]

if we ahve thoes units let us use our own versions of thoes units

not weaker crapyer versions

[remote perch]

whenever you use their gravel or your gravel, your still using her for the same purpose

[scarlet mortar]

TR stages underlevel ops on purpose

yk that right

if the ops are strong enough that detracts from whatever devices you're supposed to interact with

[remote perch]

This is like teaching kids how to light a fire using rocks but that one kid just use a lighter

you aren't really learning if you just brute force it

[wise idol]

dude like 90% of the comunity will just brute force this shit anyways

[remote perch]

Okay and?

aren't everyone has busted units

New players need to learn the mechanics

[weak gazelle]

talk about ops lvl
when the initial complain is TR which simply focus on introducing stage mechanic
well the problem is clear

[scarlet mortar]

not everyone is a month-old player who logs onto discord

TR stages usually aren't even that strict

it's like this one stage that people dump their qualms on

[vernal lion]

ppl just hate smth what they can't solve, until you found the answer for your own problem

[weak gazelle]

anyway thanks naga for the image drop for figurino skill
finally someone interesting to use
hope the practical use doesnt far from what i imagine :pepelaugh:

[vernal lion]

but again, I wonder if he can be dps for 5 star with skill

[wise idol]

wont it always be though lol

[vernal lion]

25 dp for 16s (8s of cd and 8s of duration)

[weak gazelle]

nah she wont be dps
its back to 1 + 1 > 2

[remote perch]

might as well add the cost for maintenance

[weak gazelle]

for now ponci is the best pair i can think of

knowing that its only viable to tank and spank strat

[vernal lion]

that's like 2 dp (trait) + 1,5 dp (skill) per second

[weak gazelle]

the joy of playing 5* only

sometime weird shit can be enjoyable to watch

[vernal lion]

ngl tho I like using Puzzle in RA2

guess what

[dapper hedge]

Puzzle+net?

[vernal lion]

0,75 dp/s is nut

[weak gazelle]

lol
thats is big numbers for him

[wise idol]

why does he look like the standard isekai protag?

[narrow pendant]

💀

Cuz youre looking at him as such

[wise idol]

lol

[sturdy moat]

event is so hard to auto

[weak gazelle]

which one you having a hard time?

[lapis hornet]

seems fine to me?

what's the problem

[tidal sedge]

If it is HE-8 there are semi-random enemy spawns. If rng seed is at inconsistent positions between runs, where certain enemies spawn can change and cause leaks.

I think I remember Arkhy kicking Greyyter out of his auto to make spawns more consistent

[weak gazelle]

hmm?
he-8....

oh yeah that one random spawn spot

greyyter rng meet random spawn spot = bad idea :ya:

[stuck trout]

Trying to beat IS4 Sami
This squad seems like a failure
Any chance how I can beat him.-.?

[scarlet mortar]

ed1?

[full terrace]

What Sami? Sami's Entropy? #strategy message

[scarlet mortar]

that wins for free

if it's ed2 then uhhhh shu gaming

block the boss as early as you can, then kill everything else

don't use shu as the blocker though

[stuck trout]

I can only use shu and s2 of logos to stop sami

[scarlet mortar]

block with mud

then once everything's dead, use shu to stall while you swap between mud/cardigan/ulpian as blockers

as long as you can setup shu, just take it slow

[stuck trout]

Shu near bottom corner?

Where do I play mud / shu

Mud mid

[scarlet mortar]

mud here

[stuck trout]

So logos and shu probably in the right corner

Mud shall at spawn

[full terrace]

#strategy message

Replace the ops as you see fit

Strat is more or less the same

The 2nd tank can be Ulpi facing right

So that when Eik reaches right side, you can throw his Anchor at him

[scarlet mortar]

ditch thorns btw he ain't doing jack

bag can also go

cardigan and someone else to replace them

[stuck trout]

Forgot Amiya can lower speed

Ty

[nocturne cove]

Can we have more stages that have dot mechanics

For ulpianus to shine

[glass monolith]

I need operator who DoT our operators so i can have value from Quercus S2

[vernal lion]

bring him back to the stage 3 of old coop gamemode

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96-7SqiulBs&ab_channel=777ucky

[lapis hornet]

damn ucky what a throwback

[smoky halo]

we alr have peak stage ap-5

[full terrace]

I plop S2M3 Ulpi and he stands there forever 😂

[nocturne cove]

Oh that reminds me

I have to s1m3 logos

[hollow crystal]

Need help with da event's stage 5

Those goddamn Peasant really can't help themselves from stupidly dying

[full terrace]

Your ops?

[hollow crystal]

Sorry for the late ops list

Before I tried holding bottom left with Saria, Gavialter, and Cantabile

[civic bear]

he-5 or he-ex-5

[hollow crystal]

Then bottom right let Ulpi do it, assisted by Firewatch and Arene

[hollow crystal]

HE-5

[civic bear]

use myrtle s1 btw s2 too slow

but anyway

huh this should be just fine

[hollow crystal]

Ah yes, I forgot to change it

[civic bear]

usual opener. block at the left tower thing

by opener as in just myrtle then immediately ulpi saria/ansel

yato s2 to help if you dont have dp

and then yato s2 on the archer guy

dont spam tower

[hollow crystal]

Hmm

[civic bear]

you see when the civ

reach tower

their panic lower

[hollow crystal]

Civ? This damn idiot?

[civic bear]

use the tower when they about to reach max

yes

[hollow crystal]

Thank you for the tips

[hollow crystal]

But where's the position tho?

[civic bear]

this is for when they first time enter

it builds up again (obviously) then you use the tower (before it went back to red again)

[civic bear]

from where its safe from boulders.

you want a defender to tank the boulder

while you place planks for the civ running

[hollow crystal]

So, let the civ panick and run from the first tower to the second?

[civic bear]

ye

[hollow crystal]

Humm

[civic bear]

while you block the boulder

it just stand there for a while

[hollow crystal]

I see, now last thing is the order to do so, right?

[civic bear]

yep p much once you got the civ stabilized there its kinda free. put another laneholder for handling mobs on the mid red box

right need one (yato s2 technically can handle it) for the helidropper enemy

pic is just possible tile to use

[hollow crystal]

So, three laneholder?

[civic bear]

doesnt have to be "laneholder" so to say but just general blocker

[hollow crystal]

Perhaps my yato is still weak, I'll try upgrade her

[civic bear]

does she just die in one shot?

[hollow crystal]

No

[civic bear]

then just deploy let her use s2 and just retreat

[hollow crystal]

Just, doesn't deal the damage

[civic bear]

it just for the quick in quick out

oh

[hollow crystal]

High def?

[civic bear]

500 def

not really

and yato damage also some comes from arts dmg

she wont oneshot

they have 15k hp

but she should deal a good chunk for hat basically is barely any effort

[hollow crystal]

Hmmm

[civic bear]

what the issue

take a ss if you can too

[hollow crystal]

most are when and who to deploy and the beginning, and also the Yalter issue

[hollow crystal]

Lemme try, then I'll send if I may

[civic bear]

myrtle canta starts to generate dp. then try to deploy ulpi + medic asap. if you cant deploy ulpi on time before the enemies leak then yato to kill said leak

[full terrace]

I'm back, are you still struggling with HE-5?

Seems like low-end squad hmm

[hollow crystal]

Simulating it in my head rn, I'm low on sanity...

[full terrace]

Your biggest issue is DP, its a race against DP

[civic bear]

ur team is well strong enough. its all e1+

[orchid marlin]

Any tips for this guy?

[civic bear]

it'll play itself when you try

[full terrace]

I'll try to simulate it brb

[civic bear]

youre supposed to hit the tower so you can activate them

[hollow crystal]

Yeah It's good actually, your strategy also helped a lot

Much more clear tbh

Compared to what I did before I believe it'll last longer

[orchid marlin]

even during the final showdown?

so should I just position my units like further back?

[civic bear]

yes you hit them to charge those tower sp on final phase

[glass monolith]

We charge SP? I was almost sure we fill "HP" bar with amount of damage to activate skill

[orchid marlin]

Nice, I completely pwned him with the power of friendship. Thx for tip.

[astral cosmos]

https://youtu.be/B-2bbgB02xE @next wigeon nvm it's 7 ops

[civic bear]

not even ex

harold is a reading check

[next wigeon]

Oh

[next wigeon]

True lol

[astral cosmos]

i didnt bother doing ex cus i was lazy

[hollow crystal]

. _.

[civic bear]

it just stops average player cuz you cant just point dps and win

[hollow crystal]

I only want the furnitures

So not doing ex is fine to me . -.

[astral cosmos]

huh are we talking about the same event

[next wigeon]

Smart idea to to put mint in the middle of all 3 Furnaces

[astral cosmos]

that's why mint is broken and you should m6 mod3 her immediately

[next wigeon]

I should do that with Lin when it arrives again

[hollow crystal]

Maybe yes maybe no

[next wigeon]

No

[astral cosmos]

[next wigeon]

I'll probably do it in the future

[hollow crystal]

But doesn't matter cause on any event my answer to ex is still No

[next wigeon]

Since Gravity thingy

[next wigeon]

Will you do EX when rerun comes around?

Also why kill Harold within the Blue Box

[astral cosmos]

the explanation is in the comments, but basically i wanted him to disable top and mid furnaces systematically
for this i needed to splitbox him between bison and blue box, else he'd've been closer to the bottom furnace than topmost, and his targeting prio for furnaces is the two closest ones

[next wigeon]

I see

[glass monolith]

It was semi cool event but jesus christ I am too dumb to manage furnaces and boss priority

[full terrace]

Okay I just ran a simulation. You basically just need to defend these 3 tiles and thats it.

[astral cosmos]

it was a technical clear and i suffered but it was a good event regardless

[next wigeon]

Well my anxiety watching yes

I saw 4 enemies coming toward Bison

[astral cosmos]

yep you're as anxious watching this as i was when recording

[next wigeon]

And Harold was still there

[full terrace]

Here is a low-end simulation with very limited DP-Generation @hollow crystal

[next wigeon]

All technical clears give me anxiety

[astral cosmos]

not as anxiety inducing as my jesselton anni clear without chalter s3, phys dmg only, no using ground tiles

[next wigeon]

Why the no ground thing

[astral cosmos]

it was my previous niche before badknights

[next wigeon]

Sniper only?

[astral cosmos]

nah, true no ground

[next wigeon]

I'd rather take the Badknights and ForgottenKnights niche over that smh

[astral cosmos]

floor is lava but it bans more stuff
no silence drone, no w s2 mines, no ng cages, no ground summons etc

nah it became easy so i just switched niches

[next wigeon]

My Curiosity got satiated

Thanks

[astral cosmos]

[steel kiln]

What's consuming my DP on HE-4?

is it the holy statue that got destroyed?

[next wigeon]

The Enemies

[steel kiln]

Oh that's just evil

[next wigeon]

As long they exist they take dp

Certain Enemies at least

[next wigeon]

So be careful with your dp management

[rich plover]

i have skill issue help

[hollow crystal]

Thank you very much

I feel like am an idoot now lol

I'll try to do it again

[hollow crystal]

Probably change dobermann, she's just not so good, and switch Matterhorn with someone else since you already got cuora and mountain?

[rich plover]

Got it

[hollow crystal]

I can give my auto deploy if u want, most of my ops are already E1 though

Though I suppose you can do

[rich plover]

Gonna be a while till I can upgrade em

[civic bear]

where ur e2

and 5*

[hollow crystal]

Just lanehold there and heal

[full terrace]

Where is your E2L80 Lappland?

[hollow crystal]

Yellow = melee
Red = ranged (can be sniper or caster)
Blue = medic

[rich plover]

Hmmm I could actually get her

[hollow crystal]

Yet I really don't know, I guess I'm just dumb

Nvm lol

[full terrace]

HE-7 The Lappland Newbie 😂

Now newbies can farm Gels.

[brittle mesa]

How good idea is to first focus on 3th and 4th stars and then pour the recourses to 5th and 6 stars?

[full terrace]

3 Stars are worth. You will be using them in IS as well. 4 Stars only some of them if you dont have good 6 Stars yet, by the time you have a full 6 Stars squad, you'll be benching your 4 Stars.

5 Stars ignore unless you know what you are doing

Strictly raising only 6 Stars on top of the newbie starting resources: E2L80 Lappland, 6 Star Selector (pick SilverAsh there), your rerolled 6 Star (if you did), guaranteed 6 Star from the newbie banner, and borrowed Wis/Logos/Ling can safely get you to Chapter 13 #strategy message, which unlocks all recipe at Workshop (p.s. Solified Fiber Board is commonly used by modern operators). Here is the proof of concept #strategy message. That being said tho, you better raise the 3 Stars and some of the 4 Stars to make your journey much easier.

[brittle mesa]

And.. Are 1th stars any worth for your opinion?

[cyan gorge]

they cost nothing to raise and have good uses, so worth

[full terrace]

It's worth but

Getting them is the problem

Robots are hard to come by

[brittle mesa]

Agreed...

[true mango]

Is5 will allow for 4 stars to be 0 hope

So some 4 stars are also worth building (but it's a bit of a lategame thing)

[latent halo]

But then is5 wants you to use 4s

5y old player here and I'm raising decent amount of 4s recently

[hazy sinew]

and i saw people saying HG was a bad company for making HE7 one of the hardest stages ever kek

[glass monolith]

I still think being dropped into "you have 19 DP cap, lmao" condition is crime against gamers

[signal granite]

Cant deploy Wis = Hardest game

[sly pivot]

is 20 acksually

with elysium and sail u can deploy wis anyways 🤫

[spark sinew]

my opening is sail into p1 asca

cursed as shit

[slow scroll]

My scrub ass is getting rocked on HE-2, and it seems like no guide I can find has helped with getting this one done.

Any pointers for how to properly handle that op?

[remote perch]

are you having issue with the civilians or just the enemies?

[slow scroll]

Was the enemies breaking through my defender. Was trying to follow a low-rarity guide that didn't build the upper pathway so you're defending one choke point.

Just got it done. Threw down a few more healers and had Courier down early to generate a higher surplus of DP

[civic bear]

take a screenshot

[slow scroll]

I will say the invisible bastards that slow DP regen are pretty vile.

[restive sandal]

does the civilians keep losing HP? i blocked all the boulders but they still dead, for HE-8

[spark sinew]

all boulders?

they naturally lose hp yes, that's the mechanic

but if you never let them get hit (or even get hit a couple times) they won't die

[cyan gorge]

reminder when boulders crash into ops/walls they deal damage in a cross

[quaint horizon]

How can I choose the tags ?I check that shift+top is guaranteed weedy,I seems to waste a 5stars tag,is weedy useful for the beginner (I stuck in main 7-9)

[stiff beacon]

weedy is fun to use

[foggy grove]

weedy is kinda useless for beginner

[remote perch]

Oh wow those Tags suck

[foggy grove]

just run top operator solo,9 hours

[quaint horizon]

ok!hope I can get one is helpful for the main story and the he-7

[remote perch]

hopefully you don't get the bottom of the barrel ones

[quaint horizon]

out of curiosity, whats the top in it?

[remote perch]

Best ones u can get are Suzuran Ceobe Nightingale
2nd best are Surtr Saria Silverash Hoshi

[smoky halo]

ceone ng surtr

tho ig ceo ng isnt that useful for newbie

[remote perch]

Pray you don't land on Blemishine Weedy Eunectes

[smoky halo]

i think weedy isnt that bad

but she requries way more effort to maximize

than other units

[remote perch]

eh, i mean she isn't really that useful for newbies
especially when holes aren't really that common

[smoky halo]

weedy for shift cancel

@sly pivot hello 👋

can i see your maleknights squad

and gather inspiration from it

[civic bear]

hes a fake maleknight player

[spark sinew]

i have a tierlist from "him"

[smoky halo]

show

[lapis hornet]

khant greatest tier list maker alive

[smoky halo]

just check arkrec tierlist

[lapis hornet]

I'll never forget his strat pillar tier list

[nocturne cove]

show

🔫

why did hauck left us hanging

...

[spark sinew]

all in due time

bit busy and it's hard to dig up cause i left the server where i posted it initially

[smoky halo]

just ask it from khant directly

[nocturne cove]

well i already pinged him, hes off

[spark sinew]

idt khant has that tierlist

that's why it's good!

[smoky halo]

ping harder

[nocturne cove]

pin harder ?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/856277171302826046/1267421802968383488/togif.gif

[smoky halo]

i will pin u down

[celest bluff]

You said "stop fucking around" so everyone please stop fucking or trying to fuck

[pure orchid]

I will remain unhindered

[full terrace]

Do you mind borrowing?

Ines on the right side will solve the rush

And she laneholds

You can then focus on the left lane

In that case then Mountain first and Myrtle

On the right

[somber falcon]

what's myrtle gonna even add to that
just siege and mountain each side

[foggy grove]

that squad is literlly free

[full terrace]

Well congrats

[twin jetty]

honestly, depends on you. but this was kinda my setup

[spark sinew]

two flags and yet you still leaked one of the first 5 enemies 🫡

another reason why flags are bad

[twin jetty]

was trying to send him a setup for roadblock

[pure orchid]

There’s a… smarter setup for this stage

[twin jetty]

i know, but this is what was i did

[pure orchid]

Suzuran in front of the originium device was satisfyingly evil

[scarlet mortar]

you can win that stage with 0 ops ftr

following the setup arflanyr sent

wait no, qyurii's setup i mean

everything dies to the originium tile's bleed, you don't have to block anything

[nocturne cove]

@pure orchid how are your pulls looking?

Got FedEx?

[pure orchid]

Nopers

Im waiting for the little bits of orundum to trickle in before going one final time

[narrow pendant]

Its okay hubby

Youll always be able to borrow mine

:ya:

[pure orchid]

Noooo

[nocturne cove]

I already spent

The last few

[lapis hornet]

why we going all in on exe...

[full terrace]

I have no idea 😂

I skip exe on my main account.

[spark sinew]

so they can complain later that they didn't get nymph i assume

[full terrace]

My alt needs anything so I pulled there

[spark sinew]

honestly more confused why people didn't go as hard on ulpi

or myabe they did and now they're broke, hence why more people talk about trying to get exe

[full terrace]

Yeh I agree

[narrow pendant]

Im not smh

I got them both

[regal frost]

@regal frost thanks for your Mumu, cheesed the boulders real easy

[regal frost]

[full terrace]

Summon an Ulpi clone

Why not

He's good (gameplay wise)

And I'm skipping pepe so

I just wanted him

Got qiubai instead

[elfin flare]

i'm getting gooned by 9-19, any strats i can do?

[somber falcon]

Any tips for trimmed medal? Im

Nvm there's only 2 boulders, i was thinking of cm

Who is your borrow?

Do you wanna auto that stage? Cuz if it's just completion, can borrow

[full terrace]

#strategy message

[opaque aspen]

So as i was saying in the sanguinarc reborns cases, they specify which damage is reduced. Altho how do we know if a damage res is global? For saria's 15% damage red, does it also apply to elemental damage? To environmental damage? Does sanctuary also reduce those? Can hoshiguma dodge elemental damage? What about environmental?

[spark sinew]

you check prts for that info

🫡

[narrow pendant]

Hoshi cant dodge enviro or elem

She can dodge true dmg

Sanctuary is just phys and arts

[opaque aspen]

I swear the more i play the game the more motivation to making spreadsheets i get to remember these details

[lapis hornet]

bro

some interactions are counterintuitive

you were complaining about something game straight out tells you

in plain english

hoshi also works on environmental dmg if memory serves

elemental dmg is different from what game typically calls "damage" which is rly hp dmg if you wanna get technical think it's p easy to understand

[glass monolith]

Hoshi (and few other dodge characters ) can dodge damage caused by enviroment/elemental burst. But elemental damage caused by enemy is above all this nerd shit and will be inflicted even if normal damage was dodged/blocked. Like Virtuosa's talent to ignore whatever enemy has. While all modules which cause your damage inclict % elemental scales of how much damage was done after all defense reductions

[lapis hornet]

ele dmg is something they tacked on later

if something interacts with ele it'll usually tell you it's ele dmg related

[flint tulip]

Just passing to say that Beehunter can really carry you by dodging the Desert Eagle Boss charged attacks with her S1 at the Hortus Event H-6. Bee hunter or another Dodge operator
45% dodge chance rlly saved me here! Thx and bye!

[glass monolith]

Desert Eagle meme has chance to miss by default so sometimes that meme be like me in counter strike and hit 0 times

[lapis hornet]

where were u when sg did cc5 r25 or 26 idr with beehunter dodge smh

[glass monolith]

In my auto i believe she hit 2/6

Shooting Skadi in face after which she got bonked

[flint tulip]

Oh ic, thats explains that miss that would appears

[civic bear]

Lots of things specificly says phys arts dmg red.

If it doesn't say anything then it's +true

Ele dmg are padded in afterwards

And hg aren't exactly the type to patch in new stuff

So they just make ele dmg interaction it's own

[lapis hornet]

game used to be more obscure and worse translated before they made an effort to clean up that stuff alr

ofc there's always gonna be ambiguous situations and weird coding

[glass monolith]

Reduce damage (Saria module like) module reduce Phys/Arts/True.
Shelter/Sanctuary (how the fuck it is named now) reduce only Phys/Arts.
Stainless S3 reduce physical.

And elemental reduced by reducing enemy ATK or EyjaBerry something talent didn't read into it

[lapis hornet]

I mean

if it just says "reduce dmg" then I would assume it reduces all instances of hp dmg

tho wouldn't be surprised if there were cases of inconsistencies with untyped dmg or whatever ppl call stuff like altar and co

[spark sinew]

they did make kristen reduce elemental

[glass monolith]

Virtuosa talent elemental?

[spark sinew]

all elemental

[glass monolith]

Because Logos module etc scale from DAMAGE DONE, which is reduces by RES and DR

[spark sinew]

even just the 800 damage ticks from necrosis

[glass monolith]

oh that damage

[spark sinew]

well, those are elemental

[glass monolith]

well there is damage filling elemental bar and damage caused by burst and because who uses head at last week of year i don't care

[lapis hornet]

that's hp dmg that the game translation calls elemental

which isn't the same thing as the bar dmg I htink yeah

[spark sinew]

bar thing is indeed different, but idt anyone here talked about that

[lapis hornet]

I was talking about bar dmg, so were minus and ancool I think

idk what og was thinking tho

[opaque bridge]

H12-4 casterknights possible(?)

[lapis hornet]

yes

[glass monolith]

Just seen 7 ops on it in youtube feed

[lapis hornet]

rly? dang

[glass monolith]

11 = 7 don't question me i can count when i like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvr9H96F0Ps

[lapis hornet]

no it's a 7 op

looks like record pre laptop

krys alr had couple 8 op on arkrec looks like

[scarlet mortar]

he said in the same vid that the 11op was his first clear

the rest of the vid is the 7op

[civic bear]

krys wipes cn casterknight

wait for nymph for 6 op

nymph = gg+indigo

[glass monolith]

Indigo when 1v1 against slowly moving enemy 💪

[knotty vector]

[pure orchid]

@nocturne cove @narrow pendant fuck i got fiammetta

At least its not a dupe but still it kinda hurt

i m still going for 2nd 6 star

i got qiubai on 8th

im 64 in now

[pure orchid]

Nahhhhhhhh

Fia on 52

Im cooked

Or just bring more vanguard

[smoky halo]

erm

ling solos ex-8 cm

lmao

consider reading damage formula

def is flat reduction
res is % reduction

ur marksman have low damage per hit so even "low def" reduces their dmg output by a lot

[smoky halo]

max pot logossy wtf

its not

bruh

just use better phys ops

marksman is just garbo if the enemy has def

[nocturne cove]

oh

i can see a lot of ops that are recent

[smoky halo]

khant dalao

[nocturne cove]

what did you use before

[smoky halo]

do i build bison

[acoustic slate]

Where is the uhhh letters>numbers chart

[sly pivot]

it beats every stage

thats out rn

:sa

🫡

[acoustic slate]

Omg sentinel

[smoky halo]

ok but does it beat RA danger mode day 2000

drag told me ur squad bad if it cant

[sly pivot]

i beat it by not playing

cause max rewards is spamming day 3 and reset

[smoky halo]

khant dalao help me 🥹

[smoky halo]

so true just use cousin marco to beat it

[sly pivot]

yes

bison tanks better than croissant

[smoky halo]

use like pinecone

or totter

[sly pivot]

dont let the haters get to u

[smoky halo]

i shall now cope

[sly pivot]

bison haters will be like my croissant can just dodge the hard hitting hit

🫵

absolute copium

[smoky halo]

does s1 see any use

[nocturne cove]

what do i replace phantom and executor with?

[smoky halo]

or

[sly pivot]

s1 has better cycle

is usually the better skill

[smoky halo]

wtfart...

ok i skip s2 masteries then

or do i just m6

[sly pivot]

bro s2 is 40/50

[smoky halo]

[sly pivot]

is kinda atrocious cycle

40 30 for s1

[smoky halo]

i used him as eik tank before (i didnt use skill)

[sly pivot]

which is like

yea his def mod is goated

[smoky halo]

ya he is mod3 alr

[sly pivot]

exalter u can kinda sub thorns in

[smoky halo]

sl7 tho

[sly pivot]

phantoms kinda

idk man just shove some dude in

[smoky halo]

shove me in

[sly pivot]

u spam 6 guards and win

[smoky halo]

[sly pivot]

honestly mod3 is enough

:ahu

🤫

he got +100 flat def

anti def down risk

[nocturne cove]

[sly pivot]

he can aggro with s2

hes just the perfect defender

🚬

[smoky halo]

surely

[nocturne cove]

dang

what are your thoughts on matterhorn

[smoky halo]

i think u should build bassline instead

he is way cuter

[sly pivot]

hes whatever

[smoky halo]

basslines 41 effective res with 100% uptime

[sly pivot]

usually spamming 6*s make tanks worthless

but bison is there just in case

that i cant just muscle with pure brute force

yea bassline just better

but i think matterhorn tanks arts better or smth...

[narrow pendant]

Damn

[smoky halo]

bassline can heal himself

[sly pivot]

okay he just has 50 res? on skill

[narrow pendant]

Welp, suffering is real

[smoky halo]

[narrow pendant]

get it?

[sly pivot]

thats actually ass

bassline better 99% of the time

[civic bear]

u got hung

hung better

[sly pivot]

bassline is the goat

🚬

hung is too much for him

i wont rec him hung

🥹

[civic bear]

smh

[lapis hornet]

you alr recced bison...

[sly pivot]

bison is braindead protector

if ur team has a protector is alot easier to use

[civic bear]

hung is protector

[spark sinew]

you have e2 4*

how are you losing

i think you raising shitty units just to copy guides is part of what made your squad weaker than if you would just raise better units

[sly pivot]

dont disrespect the courier raise

smh

[smoky halo]

just borrow e2 ling

and copy the solo

[scarlet mortar]

114 4op

hmge

[smoky halo]

which stage

[pure orchid]

It had to start sometime

[smoky halo]

oh its not ex stage wtf

damn 114 sucks

no noir?

noir kinda borken

2 star defender

[sly pivot]

u should e2 s1m3 myrtle

for that fast dp gen

[spark sinew]

i disrespect midnight

[sly pivot]

if midnight crits enough he cooks arene

[spark sinew]

the bar is on the floor

[sly pivot]

is 1 buck

just buy it

just shell out a buck for an easier time

[tidal sedge]

i tried it but couldn't pass and youtube guide need mylnar and shu 🥲
it's the last stage for me to 100% intermezzi
is it possible or just wait till 5.5 when i get better operators
thx

[sly pivot]

is possible

borrow walter

[tidal sedge]

can you explain more pls ?

[civic bear]

do you get the chain mechanic?

[fiery marsh]

Strongest operator in the game, but alone i dont thing is enough because they are invisible and can dash. Probally will need to cook something with the chains

[civic bear]

you want to create a chain line for enemies to go thru

and ideally kill them after they hit said chain

[scarlet mortar]

mud blaze typhon center, ceobe left, ascslon might be useful to borrow there

sth like that ig

[civic bear]

ie

theres variations but the point is just

to have chains going thru enemy paths

[glass monolith]

Unless you hate yourself and want to Gacha uh... How much dodge they have? 50?

[scarlet mortar]

50%

[tidal sedge]

ok thx will try it

[spark sinew]

what easier time

myrtle sucks

🫡

[sly pivot]

haters...

[spark sinew]

also khant, can you fetch a tierlist that i posted in siesta

[sly pivot]

no

[spark sinew]

rude

[sly pivot]

idk what keyword to use

[spark sinew]

passenger

then look for death threats from you to me

[sly pivot]

??

passenger freaking sucks

[spark sinew]

not long after that the final revision should be posted

[sly pivot]

im not even gonna send u it!

i dont stand by that tl

anymore

passenger is F tier

[spark sinew]

logos brainrot!

[sly pivot]

is true

passenger on the decline before logos

[celest bluff]

Mf I throw 30 pulls at the event banner

Got Eben and a second Ulpi

How do I financially recover from this

[fiery marsh]

You dont

[smoky halo]

trabel back in time

and dont pull ulpi on his banner

hope this helps

[astral cosmos]

nope he's a 6*

[full terrace]

This is the clip for yesterday's HE-7 The Lappland Newbie, in case anyone is still struggling.

Also I spent all my practice plans today trying to clear HE-EX-8 with this.

I almost got it, just a little bit of skill timing management. Tomorrow I'll post the clip here.

[foggy grove]

Ling solo zzz
Walter fraud

[full terrace]

Oh please I know Ling soloes, arkrec is accessible to everyone. I'm trying to help newbies clear the event, not making records. Instead of calling it a fraud or "zzz" it, how about making your own version of low end clear, and then post it here so that people can adopt the strat.

[nocturne cove]

Chat

How to arknights

(thanks for your service flan)

[foggy grove]

Because honestly there is not much to it
What matter is timing to block the boulder

[full terrace]

That is true, but I rather not tell people to just copy a guide or a record, for me that's no longer playing the game, but rather doing a chore. The clips I made are not guides, but rather proof of concepts that the strats I'm about to recommend them, will work. Giving people the strats and let them play their game is the right way to help.

[spark sinew]

and why bother with wisadel over ling

[full terrace]

Ling's dragons consume DP. Instead of deploying dragons to block stuff, I used ops, real ops that newbies did raise and cost fewer DPs to deploy. And again, it's all to highlight the strat, not making records. Fundamentally strats for specific stage are more or less the same. You block with 4 dragons vs block with 4 real ops achieve same result.

[spark sinew]

except ling requires less investment into those "actual" ops

i struggle to comprehend what wisadel even does here

[celest bluff]

In the end

[spark sinew]

not to mention newbies will just have less trust and this shit will die to boulders

[celest bluff]

All the newbies does is borrow units

[full terrace]

You telling me that telling people to "go copy a record" is better than giving them the strat then? I completely disagree with that.

[spark sinew]

i'm saying wisadel is extremely shitty borrow

here

we love using 4 slots for boulder blocking because borrowed unit is the same brainrot shit they would borrow for the rest of their AK career and never adjust the borrows based on the map

she doesn't help with the hardest part of the map here

[full terrace]

True but everyone has different squad, strat that will work, can be adopted and adjusted depending on the units that person has.

[celest bluff]

EX-8 need

Lane hold at the left box

At least 2 fast redeploy (2starYato and Gravel)

And Logos can hold center by himself

You only need those 2 fast redeploy for the rock

[full terrace]

She is replaceable in my strat yes. I never said she is the best borrow for this stage, hell even Mlynar or Logos perform better. What I'm trying to showcase is the strategy, that can be adopted and adjusted depending on the units the person has. I never said she is an absolute must, that's just your assumption.

[potent prism]

whats a good team to use for 9-10+ with the grotesque tombkeepers

[cyan gorge]

Where Ela module

My clear looks like this, but it shouldn’t be that hard with what you have

[potent prism]

not at trust lv

[cyan gorge]

trust restriction is gone btw

[potent prism]

oh

[cyan gorge]

rather it changed

0 trust needed for mod 1

50 for mod2, 100 for mod3

[potent prism]

i appreciate you telling me or i wouldnt have cared about it for a while

[cyan gorge]

In regards to gargoyles, you can easily brute force them with high phys damage like Ela/Fia/Irene/Yato

[potent prism]

do you recommend ysing irene skill only when theyve started flying or before

[cyan gorge]

they aren't levitate immune so it's fine either way

[potent prism]

kk

fia s2 or s3

[cyan gorge]

I'm always biased towards s2 cause higher damage but s3 works if you get the pillar pathing in her favor

having Typhon at e2 would be more ideal imo

[young harness]

Shred it with typhoon s2 or s3

[potent prism]

forgot I had her

[potent prism]

what do i do about the top left

[remote perch]

Have you tried using the stage mechanics

perhaps it will help

[potent prism]

in this scenario idk how

[potent prism]

ive never thought of it like thar

brilliant idea

[remote perch]

what have you been using pillar except for changing enemy path??

Always check the pillars and what direction they topple over to, then see how they can be used to funnel enemies

[potent prism]

what else do they do

isn't that how you use them

[cyan gorge]

you use them to nuke the shit out of anything it falls on

[potent prism]

oh can it hit flying enemies

is that a stupid question or logical question

[somber falcon]

it does

[somber falcon]

it is also for blocking path, though you forcing enemies to a free expressway to blue box isn't helping

[cyan gorge]

deploy someone to block it before they die

[potent prism]

well the idea was to force the right side to a easier area of defense + they'd touch the atk buff thing

[remote perch]

uh huh, so you plan to make it easier is to force the Right Side enemies to touch the Atk buff tile? so how is your setup suppose to do that?

[potent prism]

just realized i worded this wrong haha i meant the idea was to not forcr them that way cause itd be rougher even with the hp drain

[forest tangle]

how to get 3rd and 4th ending at IS#3?

always stuck at 1st and 2nd

[somber falcon]

get the relic(s) from mizuki encounter

bishop's research for ed3

[remote perch]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-EUreXBiEGVo8boM16dqj24-bHclkneGUja-VIvInig/edit?gid=133290446#gid=133290446

scroll down theres a guide for endings

[forest tangle]

nice thanks

[modern copper]

what seriously thats it?

[tawdry path]

Yep that's it

[opaque bridge]

adverse is such a pain....

[opaque bridge]

vgs behind the boulders and keep the civ in the middle tower
use ranged units

[worthy mason]

How to

[pearl breach]

spawn camp red box

[pearl breach]

something like this.

[vocal leaf]

gladiia and ulpi best duo

[honest vale]

How did you all do this>?

[weak gazelle]

its a map that force you to create enemy pathing
i think someone already show it how in help channel

[sly drift]

This shit was hard ngl. You can create the best Path for your run and it will still gonna be hard because DPS check and sustain.

[lofty bolt]

anyone know who could replace ela here? have logos, wisadel, and other options but not sure which is best

[foggy grove]

he is just telling you how to open

ela is very cheap

[full terrace]

Muelsyse, drop her slime and copy your Wisadel or something.

[late bane]

If you can borrow something,just take ela

[full terrace]

The guy specifically asked "who could replace Ela".

[late bane]

When why overcomplicate things like borrow muel,clone wis which is bad if you could just borrow ela and get the stage done

You already have the example of stage done with ela,and if you can borrow something,just borrow ela and follow it

[full terrace]

Wdym overcomplicate things? Copying unit with slime costs 0 DP and Muelsyse generates DP for the civilian. The guy is specifically asking for Ela alternative, if he wanna use Ela anyway he wouldnt have come here and ask. You need to learn to read.

Also for all we know, he could already have Muelsyse or something, in that case he didnt even need to borrow anything.

[nocturne cove]

help me

...

i cleared 12-20 on practice mode (idk how) i just placed random stuff

i dont have much time

and i wanna clear it asap

[full terrace]

I'm out of practice plans 😅

[nocturne cove]

aw man

[full terrace]

Which stage is this? 12-20?

[nocturne cove]

yeah

[full terrace]

Lemme check rq brb

[civic bear]

whats the issue

destroy top boxes for dp

and bottom

[nocturne cove]

well dp

[civic bear]

then lanehold two on the right first

[nocturne cove]

is half of it

and those fucking snipers

[civic bear]

then left side

texalt s3 🙂

[nocturne cove]

gavial alter s2 works too but

idk

i am fine til

like

the half hp

and next clone summon

[full terrace]

Destroy the red squared supply box for DP. Melee units on the red circled tiles to block and investigate the civillians. Wisadel on purple circled tile facing down to help you lanehold (in this position it's unlikely that her explosion will accidentally destroy the purple squared supply boxes). Some Therapist or Wandering Medic on green circled tile, Ulpian on blue circled tile facing up, and a Defender on yellow circled tile.

[nocturne cove]

idk how to hold left side after that
