[spice mortar]

Nah mud completely safe there

Cant die even when nuked if its e2 60

Solos it completely too, dont need typhon there

[broken wind]

can anyone help with some placements on this annihilation?

so ik what to do when i get in

the pain of 1 enemy leaking in both of these

[full terrace]

There will be a lot of drones and ranged enemies spawning from the bottom left red box. You need a Defender to bait them away from your other high-platformers. Rat King will spawn near 300 kill count I dont remember exactly how much, but he will target your operators with the highest and lowest HP on the field

[broken wind]

where should i place my ops?

since there are those terminals..

[full terrace]

Your high-platformers (dps/healers) on red squared tiles. Ground units on blue squared tiles. Some operators on the purple squared tiles to dps the boss later. There are quite a few bullies coming from top right red box, you can also setup a pusher + blocker to push them into the hole if your dps is lacking over there.

[scarlet mortar]

doesn't really matter if those terminals get destroyed

you still win as long as you make it to the end of the anni with 400 kills

[full terrace]

If you are not lacking in dps, I suggest you borrow Shu, and deploy her last on the yellow circled tile. She will bait everything for you keeping everyone safe. If you place your operator with the lowest HP on the green circled tile (and assuming you dont have high HP operators), Shu will also neutralize the Rat King's attacks, by healing herself and that operator on the green circled tile back to full health. If you wanna go with this strat, make sure that you deploy a ranged ground dps like Lappland on the pink circled tile to destroy the drones swarming around Shu (she will also help with the bottom left red box enemies a bit). Do not worry about Lappland alone there, Shu will give her DR and heal her.

[broken wind]

alr

[broken wind]

[broken wind]

can mountain handle right side?

[full terrace]

Which right side? The bullies? Yeah he can

[broken wind]

[pure orchid]

Wow this upcoming standard banner makes me wanna cry

Sailleach and typhon, i want both of them

meanwhile i gambled on ray/pozy for pozy and got a ray dupe

[nocturne cove]

Not pulling on standard anymore

[pure orchid]

I could've saved my pity but nah

[nocturne cove]

I used tickets on the banner

To gamble for ray

[full terrace]

I want Saileach for more gold certs

[nocturne cove]

Didn't get ray

Or pozy

[pure orchid]

Ill pull 10 on typhon/sailleach and dip

Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the gambling one

With no pulls saved I summon this treasure, GUARANTEED 5-STAR OR HIGHER IN 10 PULLS

[acoustic slate]

9 three stars and santalla be upon you

[nocturne cove]

santalla

[nocturne cove]

you luck ran out

[full terrace]

MAY SANTALLA BE UPON YOU

Your misfortune is my sustenance

Mwahahahaha

[pure orchid]

Fr

Hopefully it comes back when marcille and vulpi come

Those are the only two i care about rn

They better cook with Sui or i might just quit

AYE WHY EVERYONE WISHING ME SANTALLA

Gimme her bow wielding companion instead

[nocturne cove]

#strategy message

you ask for too much

with regular pulling ive come to the realisation that one cant be lucky consistently

so now i dont pull on every fucking banner

if i had not pulled on exec alter and kept put after getting ulpi in first 7 pulls instead of going for 50 pulls

i would have like 150+ pulls saved

[pure orchid]

I know the odds but

Forcing optimism onto myself despite what i know is fun

Much more fun than being realistic

Strongest pessimistic gambling addict: wow or yeah i knew it
Weakest optimistic gambling addict: I CANT BELIEVE THIS or NEXT TIME FR

[full terrace]

I need to win this Naran pull

I dont wanna drop another $200 for Nymph and DunMeshi

[pure orchid]

What if your misfortune is my sustenance 😈

[full terrace]

HAHAHAHAHA

DONT

[pure orchid]

hehehe...

nah i hope u get her

[full terrace]

🤣🤣

[pure orchid]

so i can borrow her when im bored 🤑

I will get pepe in 24

[full terrace]

Not sure if I'm gonna raise her right away, I'm super super low on mats atm

But I will raise her

Coz she is hot

[pure orchid]

Going on khaganquest is massive aura

too bad i like cute more than hot

i want my cat

[narrow pendant]

🥹

So when u said im hot, u meant u dont like me no more

[pure orchid]

You're cute AND hot

best of both worlds, i couldnt ask for more

[broken wind]

placement guide?

[full terrace]

Oh god

Down there

Down there a lot of helidrop enemies

[somber falcon]

just frd

[full terrace]

If you are doing the civillians delay, make sure dispatch the helidrop quick

[pure orchid]

Wow this takes me back

I have no idea how to do this anymore, but it sure was annoying back then

[full terrace]

If you are not doing civillians delay, make sure you have laneholder down there

[glass monolith]

You can force most stage on top 2 lanes in murder them here with well, everything. While 10 civilians stuck on bottom box. But you MUST ASAP gang jetpacks who attacking them

[full terrace]

There are big drones near the end as well

But I mean, Wisadel pretty much demolishes everything

My alt did just that

She literally just demolishes everything

[glass monolith]

I believe those drones AFK good amount of time and exist only to murder you attempt to red box camp

[full terrace]

Yeh

[broken wind]

where do i place her

[full terrace]

And Wisadel quite literally just demolishes them

[full terrace]

Depends

You want her to cover the helidrop enemies or not

[broken wind]

i have a logos so logos can hold the other lane

[full terrace]

Even better

Lemme go draw on the map brb

[remote perch]

It's risky trying to use Wis to kill the bottom enemies since her aoe can hit the boxes

[rapid junco]

We have typhon too, use her😭

[civic bear]

wis dead center

[broken wind]

oh i forgot i had her

lul

[rapid junco]

Bro even pozy and Rosa are good for this stage

[civic bear]

ranged op to cover bottom so the civ dont get helidrop killed . let it stack to funnel everything top and u win

[full terrace]

Oh the boxes are quite sturdy. My alt did the Wis bottom strat and the box survived til the end. Altho I remember not activating her skill that much and mostly let her auto attack.

[broken wind]

by dead center u mean near the middle red box?

[civic bear]

there or 1 tile to the left

then put blockers top, avoid the burn tile

[full terrace]

• The helidrop enemies will spawn on the pink circled tiles. That one helidrop at the back, you need to assign a unit to take care of it, or use an FRD like Texas/Yato.
• Civillians will stack together and idle on big purple circled tile. Keep them alive otherwise you'll lose Life Points.
• If you position Wisadel on the red circled tile, she will cover the all the bottom lane, half the top lane, and that red box in front of her.
• Setup your defenses on blue squared tiles, with ground units being your last deployed operators so that they auto-bait ranged enemies and drones.
• If you are using Logos S1, can set him up on the purpled squared tiles.

[civic bear]

if wisadel in red circle the box might get destroyed

[full terrace]

I tried it with my alt

Box is sturdy, it survived til the end

[rapid junco]

Uhh, just deploy someone to block tho...
The jetpack dude not that bad

[topaz fog]

yes. its tough for wis to get them there. its tight... FRDs work well in this map. like Texalter

[civic bear]

i dont remember there being a helidrop at bottom left tho. p sure only

and the middle left one

i remember cuz gladiia can pull one

then ash holds bottom lane

when i did no vg

but i guess there were some there

[full terrace]

@pure orchid are you pulling Nymph btw

Is she not your cup of tea

[pure orchid]

Naaahh

Idk why but i dont like the design

[full terrace]

Fair

I'm the waifu > niche type I can relate

[glass monolith]

I need to survive Pepe banner first

[broken wind]

ah.

[full terrace]

Ah I have 300 pulls ready for that banner I'm good

[glass monolith]

At this moment he knew

[broken wind]

i came back after afk

thought it was fine

and THAT.

the box was alive so like

some random enemy killed a civvie

[full terrace]

Bro we quite literally just warned you about the helidrop enemies

[glass monolith]

Jetpack man attack same civilian so you don't have much room to fuck up

[full terrace]

Thats probably your civillians getting killed

[broken wind]

i put wisadel to cover the helidrops

[full terrace]

Still need to be attentive, civillians are more fragile than your household tea cup

[broken wind]

now time for this

[broken wind]

yeah ill retry it later

[glass monolith]

CAT

[full terrace]

😂

You asked about every anni, I like your spirit

[broken wind]

one must complete the current cycle

[glass monolith]

3 hours to do SSS rewards

[full terrace]

• Top side A LOT of ranged enemies so point your ranged dps up there (casters/snipers)
• Bottom side quite a few of flying Dublinn you need to stun
• Right side there are 3 fireball enemies spawning at 250/300/350. Also Mandragora will spawn there.

[broken wind]

i hate those rock flying enemies ngl

wait mandragora??

[full terrace]

Mandragora, the boss

[civic bear]

technically you can just point everything middle

[broken wind]

h.

[full terrace]

Wisadel can shoot Mandra Phase 1, retreat and redeploy on that same position, then shoot Mandra Phase 2.

Thats what my alt did.

[civic bear]

point everything to middle

[broken wind]

o

[broken wind]

could executor alter hold the middle choke and survive

i wonder

[rapid junco]

If he consistent to hitting yes, the ball is succ for him

[broken wind]

yeah im concerned about the ball for executor alter

[rapid junco]

S1 skalter for healing real?

[broken wind]

no skalter so ig ill get a friend skalter

[civic bear]

let him hold the lane but not the balls

need someone to tank in front

[broken wind]

where does ball come

[civic bear]

right

[broken wind]

no like which side

red or blue

[civic bear]

there are both

[broken wind]

who will tank

[civic bear]

but more comes top

[broken wind]

oh

[civic bear]

just medic+anything with res

[broken wind]

i have nightingale

[civic bear]

then use her

[rapid junco]

Uh, why not try ulpi s2 instead

[broken wind]

dont got ulpi

[civic bear]

just dont have units in the 8 tiles around said tank

[broken wind]

should be good enuff

[rapid junco]

Bro you about to borrow a skalter 😭

[civic bear]

so it doesnt spread around

but yeah

[broken wind]

saria can tank and self heal

[civic bear]

i mean to be fair

thorn+mountain almost kills every mob

other than the tanky elites one

[rapid junco]

Like... Thorns him self are enough for mid line
You only need someone to kill enemy from left side

[civic bear]

like see here

mlynar just there to kill elite and boss later(redeployed) which you can just replace with real ops to help

but mountain tanks fireball pretty damn well just adding NG would make it reliable

[broken wind]

which side does mandra come from

[civic bear]

right side

that right red box

then standstill at where the fireball guy is at

[broken wind]

ah

[civic bear]

for a long while

[rapid junco]

With ng , you can place thorns more far to that fireballs place too

So he can hit the mandra later

Just use the pillar to drop down her

[broken wind]

i can def afk this

[full terrace]

Nah

[rapid junco]

Surely
This map not hard

[glass monolith]

#strategy message time flies

[full terrace]

When the flying Dublinns come, they'll fly directly to your Texas/Myrtle

[glass monolith]

Who didn't tell him about hover boards?

[full terrace]

I did

😂

He prob didnt read idk

[rapid junco]

Already told there's problem in right side

Oh wait, left

It would be better to use Wis for down side

[civic bear]

yeah thorn is left side so he can hit flying mob

[glass monolith]

They are coming from the WEast

[civic bear]

just move thorn back

you dont need him helping the right anymore with that setup

[broken wind]

guh

[rapid junco]

Welp, bro learn something

[broken wind]

i did NOT read

[glass monolith]

Bro learn he can't read (sorry, had to use opportunity)

[rapid junco]

Yuh baby

[full terrace]

Minus you savage

🤣

[broken wind]

so uh

should i keep my placements

but make sure to have smth for the flying

[rapid junco]

Yeah, basically that

And maybe want that ng placed , amiyi suffer beating the dudes

[glass monolith]

You can just redeploy thorn looking down or something, his S3 will do job, or shift stuff 1 tile left

[somber falcon]

just have wis handle bottom left
thorns can pelt mandra to death even without pillars iirc

[glass monolith]

Btw due hover dude logic being ASS they are not considered "close to blue box" until they pass entire hole

[rapid junco]

But thorns not reach her hanging position there, need to be more brave

[rapid junco]

:~~flying but afraid of holes ~~

[broken wind]

typhon will solo it

trust

[glass monolith]

As long as she tank all those archers sure

Maybe

[broken wind]

we have skalter so like

[rapid junco]

[broken wind]

alr time to afk

[glass monolith]

There is option than heavy enemies will bait all attacks but this is 2 year old shit so never tried Typhoon here

[civic bear]

should be fine can still hit right above the hole

the heavy enemy that goes bottom are invis

[broken wind]

arknights pre wisadel, typhon and etc moment

[civic bear]

put ng to help so exalt doesnt randomly die from fireball who knows

[rapid junco]

me know

[somber falcon]

he most likely will

[glass monolith]

Liberator baiting fireball was funniest shit ever for me on original run of that anni

[full terrace]

@broken wind here is a safe formation:

• Push those 3 pillars down at the white arrow directions - this will funnel all enemies toward center.
• Wisadel on red circled tile facing down will take care of all the enemies coming from top left and bottom left both. Saria on the white squared tile to block enemies for Wis in case there is any leak.
• When the fireball enemies spawn, Wis will shoot them to death at their spawn point, just make sure to retreat her Revenant Shadow in the fireball's path otherwise she'll suffer splash damage.
• Thorns on either of the yellow squared tile facing up to kill some of the ranged enemies.
• Logos S1 on blue circled tile facing left will take care of all the flying Dublinns.
• Setup your defenses on the blue squared tiles.
• When Mandra spawns, shoot with Wis to end her Phase 1, and then retreat (Wis can be redeployed in time for her Phase 2), redeploy Wis and drop the pillar on Mandra then shoot again with Wis.

[broken wind]

my nighting got assassinated

[rapid junco]

I ain't reading allat

[full terrace]

Not typing allat for you to read

[rapid junco]

Why bro put healer like an palanx caster

😭

[broken wind]

so it can heal thorns

my wisadel assassinated my nighting

😭

[rapid junco]

Uhh, there's a platform around logos

[broken wind]

typhon covers the blue side

so it was safer for nighting to be there

[rapid junco]

😔

[broken wind]

now for this

[glass monolith]

If tower is red infinite bazooka Ivan is happy

[broken wind]

so like

i take all the towers?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Only All mid and left are fine

But welp, they give u free sp so why not all

[civic bear]

if you can take em all would be great

cuz it prevents enemy from getting sp

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea it apply on enemies too, their bullets mechanic

[broken wind]

my stats this cycle
chocolate street 1 try
commercial lungmen 1 try
aquapit 5 tries
spring wastes 2 tries
burning district 1 try
county hillock 2 tries (i forgor flying dublinn)

thanks everyone

aquapit 5 tries is because 2 enemies leak and theyre the dodgers...

[stiff beacon]

@pearl breach btw why did you have ela face up instead on right to kill the casters?

[pearl breach]

Cus ash + surtr is enough.

You just need to make sure surtr didnt get stunned by the caster. Thats why I use yato as a bait

Ela with mod can be used as laneholder lul

[stiff beacon]

ahhhh i forgot ela can tank a little bit

[pearl breach]

Also, the reason why degen facing bot because there is nothing to be hit on the top part except phatom (if he still alive). The shield guard just came up to her.
Plus, degen can help ela to kill middle lane

[stiff beacon]

oh incase degen gets stun or leak it can still attack?

[pearl breach]

Degen will get stun but thats fine. Since there is spot there to block

The only thing we need from her was her S3 to nuke phantom, shield guard and those blue guys that deal a necrosis dmg

[stiff beacon]

oh do you not use mon3ter on top lane to kill the shield guards?

[pearl breach]

There is still one slot left. You can do that

But I didnt lol

[stiff beacon]

last time i did this

since after like 15 seconds of blocking he dodges and stands at that spot

[pearl breach]

You can do that too but you need like 2-3 dps to gang up on phantom if you decide to kill it on the top side

[stiff beacon]

did you do something like this (red surtr, blue fast redeploy)

i'll try it out now, (i suck at pozy, might as well just try using degen then)

[pearl breach]

Surtr is on the very top tile facing bot. While yato bait his dash to maximize surtr time on him

[stiff beacon]

gotcha

[pearl breach]

Like I told you earlier. If phantom still survive after surtr. There will be degen s3 and ela s3 ready for him.
You can add monster S3 too.

[stiff beacon]

[pearl breach]

Good luck for you. Refrain yourself from borrowing brainrot cockroaches

[stiff beacon]

thanks

[broken wind]

the wisadel

slap wisadel at anything and win

truly an arknights post babel side story experience

[topaz fog]

guys..........

the CM mode is just..

am i using wrong team.. or making some mistake

[vivid rain]

It bans the tiles that the assasins camp out on

So that you cant just invis reveal all of them and nuke with like irene warf or something

[topaz fog]

thats the biggest problem... fuck this stage..

[vivid rain]

It’s just an anti cheese cm condition zzz

[topaz fog]

i am doing everything correct. but those assassins are just..

they 2 shot ulpi.. i cant believe.. wtff

[vivid rain]

I think u should clear it comfortably with that team

[topaz fog]

yes i almost... just last wave of assassins

[vivid rain]

Their first hit deals more damage

Like the secretkeepers from chong event

[topaz fog]

i do have chongyue too... but what will he do in this stage..

[somber falcon]

from chong event

[topaz fog]

dont mind me.. im just fking tired... i think imma wait for mlynar in shop.. then do this

[half creek]

missing a few key operators

[topaz fog]

like?

[topaz fog]

no skadi... i have spalter, but didnt mod her...

[half creek]

she exists but nobody likes her

[topaz fog]

same.. didnt build

[glass monolith]

Except that one guy doing AH only clears, but in some low op clears it is Gladiia killing drones

[cyan gorge]

Horn s1

[topaz fog]

no horn, also finding s1 from support is very tough

[cyan gorge]

I can just put up mine

Well I don't think BB-S-4 cm is so hard that you need Horn or Wis

Nvm I'm thinking of the wrong stage

it's hard

[topaz fog]

is this s1?

[glass monolith]

I rarity abused it with most 0 IQ way i could think of

[glass monolith]

It is S1 but CM tile bans remove opportunity to do spawnkilling this way

[topaz fog]

she shoots from range...

[glass monolith]

She need to SEE to shoot

[topaz fog]

bruhhhh

[mint iron]

I believe trash mobs also go around the middle, don’t they?

[glass monolith]

Nope they all cut into top left corner

[topaz fog]

this is the worst designed stage..

i cant even find enough guides on this stage on YT also. haha. it tells how fking annoying this sh*t is

[glass monolith]

Best designed event - Me who abuse Ambushers, Dolls, Liberators 0 block to make shizo chains at -1 risk of dying

[topaz fog]

im sure this is one of the hardest stage in AK

[glass monolith]

You played h13-4, right?

[topaz fog]

it was easy as fk

i just stalled the boss and nuke them

just micromanagement on bombs

this sh*t feels harder

i cant even wisadel this..

also ines cant reveal them, not SA

[glass monolith]

Uh... It is not true unless they changed them

They are revealable, but they have like fucking 50% dodge outside chain

[Sarcasm] And by rules of this game 50% = 85% for enemies

[topaz fog]

no then didnt

horn can hit in CM too

[glass monolith]

There is Can hit. And there is I seen Silvergun losing attempts to low op this stage to one of them dodging on 1 hp 10 times

[civic bear]

yeah but they still have dodge

so it takes a bit of time

if it can even kill it

likely just gnna puts them to half hp

which i guess is good enough

[scarlet mortar]

"can hit" doesn't say much

depending on how many S1s horn lands they can have wildly different hp

[topaz fog]

this guy... on YT... bro revealed using Horn s1, used weedy to corner all of them and used chalter and SA to fk all of them... man... wtfff

[scarlet mortar]

why do those mfs have like 3/4 the stats of a boss and spawn a dozen at a time

[glass monolith]

[scarlet mortar]

speedkill pov

[topaz fog]

literally.....

[scarlet mortar]

that could go even faster with better necrosis ops tbh

wonder how nymph would fare

assuming average dodge rates some e.dmg might just win out

[glass monolith]

Depends how potato coded Nymph damage is. After all her S3 bonus damage against necrosed enemies is elemental "DoT" (Yes it does damage 1 time, but it is buffed by IS5 free operator who buff "DoT"s )

[scarlet mortar]

i mean as long as they're revealed and tutu procs necrosis on them

e.dmg should still pass through

sad thing is her burst window might suck too much to burst that crowd

those mfs have a pretty thicc statline

[north jungle]

What are some of the best strategies with Weedy (besides maps letting you push enemies right into pits), what are good operators to pair with her?

[glass monolith]

Synergy is Angelina S3 (Which you can't even recruit, have fun) or Ho'ol talent to make enemies weight -1 to push more stuff. Then push them in any straight line

[scarlet mortar]

weedy enables at least two techs, one very strong for shifting shenanigans and one very powerful but also overkill

(at least imo)

them being controllable (potentially diagonal) shifts and attack cancelling respectively

[full terrace]

@pure orchid oh oh oh oh

I did another 10 pulls and got chen + tuya

I dont feel too bad now

[scarlet mortar]

nobody sane will be cooking attack cancelling with weedy though

[full terrace]

Btw Asca dominates this event

She kills it

Those crystal floors are hit count based

10 hits

[scarlet mortar]

DoT tiles dies to op loaded with DoT

whoda thunk

[narrow patrol]

me just slapping ela down to deal with them tiles

Flex placement ftw

[full terrace]

I pop Asca Logos Wis whole map no crystal tiles

[scarlet mortar]

wis + ascalon

where crystal

[full terrace]

Yah Wis is also really good coz AoE

[scarlet mortar]

@north jungle

typical weedy synergy is just ange/ho'ol to reduce enemy weight, but mspd debuffs can occasionally allow her to permastall some waves

you can also use the true damage on move to disintegrate hitcount-based enemies

that debuff has a much higher tick rate than normal DoTs

[north jungle]

Nice, an actual practical use for my built Ho'ol! What should be replaced on my caster team for Weedy? Also what's mspd debuff?

[scarlet mortar]

movement speed

ines or mos basically

other control effects also work, just that those ones in particular bypass most enemy immunities

https://youtu.be/v7D1psEWGFg?t=60

example of weedy synergizing with ho'ol's weight reduction and mos+manticore's mspd reductions

[north jungle]

Thanks! Actually I guess probably replace Bagpipe since she's there to let Ines immediately use skill, Mos is for +.4 SP regen for all casters which is the team's theme, and I probably need some SP generating vanguard since most casters are expensive. I think I mostly put Bagpipe there just because I already don't have her on any other teams and didn't wanna retire her 😭

[scarlet mortar]

there's also this which you might find more in endgame stuff, also extremely overkill but it's kinda become a bit when it made its way into past CCs
https://youtu.be/DXQehfobveM?t=85

basically the same thing with S2 permastalls, but fuck it have liskarm tank a bunch of dogs and supercharge S3 instead

[north jungle]

Thanks! The only reason I even have teams like this is to have fun with niche teams instead of nuking everything with wis, myl, ect so cool synergies are much appreciated!

[scarlet mortar]

it's specifically relevant in CCs and not elsewhere bc dogs won't normally live long enough to make a worthwhile stall

but yh it had to be mentioned

[tall sierra]

This boss is... annoying @@
Sometime walter die on repeat run sometime she survive

[scarlet mortar]

i think weedy's a particularly funny choice to land on if you're playing around

her kit's just so specialized that the places she shine best somehow ended up being endgame content

so you'll never realllly run out of room to mess around with her, at least not until the enemies die and the stage in question ends

[north jungle]

Haha yeah good to know! Seems the devs think that way too since her PUS-Y just makes her even more specialized apparently

[latent halo]

is blue gem the way

[latent halo]

yea

blue gem + yellow

fck other colour

[latent halo]

man , i quit

rng based

[lapis hornet]

wdf gem dalao

[glass monolith]

Boss is farm stage for material i have 0 of.... (Loads Chalter shotgun with murderous intent)

[lapis hornet]

whats the farm

[glass monolith]

Cycle-cene... Chapter 13 thing

[lapis hornet]

oh

I need iron and grindstone so haven't done 9 yet

[glass monolith]

Oh also crystal grass have invisible HP so Puzzle don't work

[near folio]

Ulpianus is just too funny

[opaque aspen]

Can ethan s1 work on crystals? Just wondering

[glass monolith]

Probably, Ascalon uninstall them instantly

[last marsh]

tried the blue3 build
does cyan go further?

[snow mural]

cyan early to build points and swap to blue once they're all upgraded and red 4 wanting an empty workshop felt like bait
green 1, yellow 2, yellow 3, blue 1, blue 2, blue 3 was what i was running

[south thunder]

does the barrier have an actual health pool or is it like wine invite where u have to hit it a certain number of times

[glass monolith]

2000 + 500 per crystal in 1.5 range if i understood prts

[acoustic slate]

Oh shit is this the balatro channel?

Are you limited to only 2 gold in a late endless hand?

[glass monolith]

Sir wrong discord or right discord but Balatro chads live in #cn-lounge / #off-topic

[acoustic slate]

I was making a joke about the gem engraving

[acoustic slate]

This is gem engraving question

[vale umbra]

seems like to me generally, workshop count prio is #1, and you run green until 4 workshop, red at 5 workshop, blue at 6? at least thats what I'm seeing
might make a sheet later for actual numbers if im bored

[hazy sinew]

how do you even blue 3

don't you need red3 for blue 3

[snow mural]

red 1-3 activate even when not placed on board at max upgrade

[hazy sinew]

no I meant you need red3 to build blue 3

[acoustic slate]

Yes, it activates in the hand. It does its thing automatically

[sturdy cairn]

i lost to fia

[acoustic slate]

Hand hold?🥹

[split cloak]

Yuzu

I'll necro the salt so you can have your daily dose of iodine too

[split cloak]

How to do minigame event i skipped the tutorial accidentally

[prisma lance]

Play a couple games u will understand

[split cloak]

Okied

[prisma lance]

I also skipped tutorial

[safe mulch]

i solved gemstone engraving endless (round 40 is the max)

this was my setup (the first one should be fully upgraded too for more score). there is some rng in how early you can get the combo started

also you get 1270 in total for first clear

[full terrace]

It's basically playing around with the combo effects. The red ones are activating themselves without being put onto the workbench, so it's between Green vs Blue for us. The green ones make us more yellow stones (1 yellow = 1 score), while the blue ones give us better multipliers. Using math, you just make a formula that gives the most score.

These are maxed reds

[jovial nest]

ah i love clean floors

[full terrace]

These are maxed blues

These are maxed greens

Anf these are maxed yellows

[wide ibex]

I don't feel like I'm colour blind but there's 4 colours, triangle is purple and hexagon is cyan, so which do you mean by blue

[jovial nest]

blue is the cyan for them

but it is cyan

oh wait

they meant purple

just go with shapes

[wide ibex]

yeah that's why I'm confused cause they're also calling it green

[jovial nest]

circles, triangles, squares, and circles

there, no confusion

[wide ibex]

between tri and hex then

[jovial nest]

whoops

sorry

circle, triangles, squares, and hexas

[void terrace]

What is naranyutas go to skill?

Levelled s3 caus is looked cool but i realise its multipliers are a bit lacluster. She feels like modern day archetto, except she can tank aak's backshots which instantly makes her funny

Also pepe for that matter s2 or s3. For pepe im leaning towards s2

[wide ibex]

s1 is a good lane holder

[void terrace]

pepe?

[wide ibex]

^

[void terrace]

Hmmmm

It does look very good

[prisma lance]

Wow

[void terrace]

I like how she synergises with your frontline, clearing trash mobs and providing some defenses through atk steal and enemy miss chance

Stealing 250 attack from a boss is pretty neat

I guess her sub par offensive makes up for that

She really suffers against high defence, but at least she can take aak buff

[acoustic slate]

What does your hand look like in the end? I was only doing 2 golds but apparently you can have the red/purple in your hand too??

[shrewd hound]

u just buy everything

but cyan+yellow carry

its like playing IS, just take what u need at the start and upgrade cyan+yellow then u are gonna have gold to buy everything

there are like side goals that i think can give u bonus gold or score but can probably ignore that if its from red/purple

[prisma lance]

They didn't let do further

[wide ibex]

nice

[jovial nest]

taunters now have an icon making it obvious that they will suck up all the targetting that ain't specific. It's the 5 yellow triangles all pointing to and going towards the middle portion.

[vale umbra]

damn i was about to post the same findings but someone beat me to the punch while i was gone for a meeting
good to see i wasnt going crazy though

classic hypergryph making it so not leveling stuff to max be the optimal way to play cough 252 cough

put in 3 golds and up to blue 2 on accident and it gave me more points than when i was making blue 3

[prisma lance]

it seems round 40 is cap

[vale umbra]

yeah they dont let you play past it

[full terrace]

The hand as in the cards? You will eventually max all them out, and the shop will say "Sold out". Also I was testing this person's formula #strategy message and it does work, you can copy that formula and cheese the minigame.

[prisma lance]

fake endless

[stiff beacon]

@pearl breach so I tried the setup you used and my ash could not solo that right lane

How my casters did surtr kill? My surtr got stunned even when helidropping 2 other bait

[safe mulch]

dang that's a crazy score

[acoustic slate]

Is this not the endgame hand? Idk how to get more score

[prisma lance]

apparently 3 gold into 2 blue is meta

[full terrace]

Yeah thats pretty much it. This formula gives more score tho #strategy message

[acoustic slate]

So just don’t even use the last card? Red and purple into purple 3?

[proud dune]

Any good operators to use with Quibai?

[prisma lance]

yes green 1 gold 1-3 and blue 1-2

[cyan gorge]

Logos, Suzu, Ela
any external source of fragile/slow

[prisma lance]

Stainless S3

[topaz nymph]

I wanna ask something.
I never really got the gist of the base, but how many Trade Post does a maxed out Base can exactly run????

[prisma lance]

2 for most cases is enough

[cyan gorge]

2 trading posts
4 factories (2 exp, 2 gold)
3 power plants

the common set up

[somber falcon]

max cap is 5
but only lunatics build five

[acoustic slate]

2 tp
5 factories
2 power plants

The better setup

[prisma lance]

nah it's the rookie mistake setup

[cyan gorge]

I'm too lazy to break down my dorms so I'm sticking with 243 as it has yet to fail me

[acoustic slate]

It fails you every day that you don’t change🚬 opportunity cost is a bitch

[cyan gorge]

too much effort, not gonna bother

[prisma lance]

rebuilding base is like less than 5 minutes

[jovial nest]

thats alright

[prisma lance]

the hardest part is planning rotation

[jovial nest]

it's only that little if they have capped their drones, which is most likely the case.

but never underestimate laziness

[cyan gorge]

and that's another reason I'm not gonna bother

243 only needs me to login like twice

and change my base once

[jovial nest]

base is not for everyone. some don't think the trouble is worth the free LMD and EXP

hmmm, iirc, yeah

243 is best for 24 hr rotations

[prisma lance]

u can login once with 252 as well

[jovial nest]

oh wait hmmmm

wait no

252 is best for 24 hr rotations

more factories capped

is better than 3 powerplants

still

it depends on their laziness

[cyan gorge]

Look I don't care about the 10% more effeciency I get from changing my base and my routine at this point when it hasn't changed in 2 years

[jovial nest]

we're just educating you. we're not forcing you onto anything

i just hate it when people spout that 2-4-3 is best for this and that

[acoustic slate]

Logging in twice is normal with 252
You can do 24/12 rotations or 36/12

[jovial nest]

when it's clearly not

[cyan gorge]

I didn't say best, I said common

[jovial nest]

common is correct

thanks for the correction

anyways, guys, no need to recommend further stuff when the player doesn't want things to change

feel free to ask us anytime if you have a change of heart though

[prisma lance]

I mean if u already have a bunch of lmd and exp, considering famring orundum on base is also viable

[jovial nest]

it's only viable if you have a lot of T2 roccs

and only minmaxers bother to farm 1-7

like me

[prisma lance]

u farm them on dead weeks

[jovial nest]

you think Zenith farms 1-7

i'm guessing not

most people would farm T3 roccs instead

[prisma lance]

why?

[cyan gorge]

Proud 10-6 enjoyer

[jovial nest]

see?

[jovial nest]

only minmaxers bother to get the utmost value of consistent T2 rocc drops

and then crafting it via 9CD

don't think most players would bother like some of us do

[cyan gorge]

If I'm not farming an event, it's red certs or CE just so I can burn my sanity fast instead of leaving it overcapped while I'm working/playing other gachas

[jovial nest]

I only play gacha if I LOVE the gameplay. If I only LIKE the gameplay, i tend to drop it sooner or later

so I'm lucky my only gacha is AK

so I 100% it

[cyan gorge]

I love AK gameplay, just not base play

[prisma lance]

so true

[jovial nest]

that's fine

I mean I must be one of the rarities that like RA2, IS, and also the core game

there's also minor enjoyment from SSS but i wouldn't say it's "love"

[cyan gorge]

I can play IS for hours, but I can't even stand a minute of RA

[jovial nest]

Annihilation can just be removed for all i care but those are usually made for newer players to be able to clear it

RA is for people who's REALLY into old-school TD

and I mean old-school

[prisma lance]

Yeah RA2 is nice, got all shiny mobs except for one

[jovial nest]

like actually making the mazes ourselves

[jovial nest]

oh ho ho ho....lemme show you my collection

100% of the animals in my HQ are shinies. And I've capped all the corrals quantity and capacity.

[prisma lance]

man...

i can't find those guys, do they appear only on low difficulties or they are just very rare?

[west kraken]

what are some good chars to auto boss stage

ik theres like a lot of options manual but just wanna ask who are the better auto options

[prisma lance]

Gladiia S1 + Ulpianus S2

[west kraken]

I dont have Ulpianus tho

[jovial nest]

one thing that comes to mind is Ethan's S1 too

for crystal killing

[west kraken]

who are the best crystal killers btw

Exu?

[jovial nest]

any ops that hits a LOT of times

this includes ASPD, atk interval is short, and DoTs

Ascalon's talent, Thorns, BP, Ethan, Exu

those come to mind

but I also include Wis' S2 too as an example of thinking out of the box

[prisma lance]

Yato s1?

[jovial nest]

oh yeah....Tex2's S3 hits multiple tiles

even better if surrounded by tiles

[prisma lance]

or maybe s3 is better

[jovial nest]

Tex2's S3 is more flexible

than Ya2

but go on ahead and use both if you want

but it's anything but auto

As for Ya2, i might pick S2

at least it hits 2 tiles worth

with a lot of those hits

[prisma lance]

but well i just ignored the event mechanic for most stages, brute force with AH afk strat

[jovial nest]

no idea how much hits S3 does in a line of Crystals

[west kraken]

32 hits for yato 2 (2 tiles 16 hits)

who are some spamy snipers btw

ik koos alter exist but eh

[jovial nest]

I also like using Logos S1. a lot of mobs are weak af and get instakilled after one attack

this includes those jewel birds too

[prisma lance]

Ifrit can also good

[west kraken]

How good is Ling S3 for crystal dps

[jovial nest]

good

but it ain't beating Ethan/Ascalon

in crystal killing

[weak gazelle]

crystal killer?
fast atkspeed no?
or using dot

[prisma lance]

ye

[jovial nest]

fast ASPD, multihit, DoT

better if all of the above

[remote perch]

Ling S3 has dot

[jovial nest]

but S3's downtime is the issue

[prisma lance]

use Jackie lmao

[jovial nest]

you might as well go Beehunter S2

[prisma lance]

oh no Beehunter

[jovial nest]

if you want niche

[remote perch]

Not like you need to break groups of crystal consecutively

[west kraken]

Is mountain good here?

[prisma lance]

S3 maybe

[remote perch]

Depends on how low is your standard of good

[jovial nest]

Mountain's signature ain't good

[prisma lance]

Tachanka S2

[jovial nest]

literally no range

[weak gazelle]

anything good
idk, it just a matter to adapt with event gimmick

[jovial nest]

there's a reason mountain is piss poor in stuff like this and also against OD tumors

[weak gazelle]

the troublesome maybe the shield provider dude

[jovial nest]

i like my clear screen devoid of crystals

btw this event's crystals is also perfect for Ines printing

as long as you don't drop her into one

[vocal leaf]

it’s basically only pressure 0-1, 2-5 is the quicksand and 6-7 the vanilla wing

the drop rate for saliva from thalebeast is also insanely low

[pearl breach]

Surtr killed everything lol.

[stiff beacon]

Perhaps I need to place surtr earlier

[worldly stirrup]

Any guide how to clear the mini game.?

[full terrace]

No but here is some tips for you:

• Workbench upgrade is priority, but only upgrade it when you already can steadily fulfill the target's demand.
• Your main sequence will be: Green I - Yellow I - Yellow II - Yellow III - Blue I - Blue II. Upgrade them first while ignoring the others.
• Red I-II-III are not taking your Workbench space. Make sure you upgrade them on the way.

[worldly stirrup]

Why mini game harder than event boss

[pearl breach]

You can show me your built ops. Perhaps I can make out something for you. More stable strat

[stiff beacon]

I’ll send my kroostar if needed

[wicked minnow]

what round did you lose on?

[full terrace]

Never lose, round 40 is the last round.

After beating 40 you automatically end the class

[wicked minnow]

I honestly cant believe the image i tagged reached round 40 that's wild

[mild wind]

hello how do i 2op without logoslinted wishadele

-# ulpian is a trust leech

[wicked minnow]

cant the 2 crushes do it?

oh nvm

just borrow ulpianus and it should be good

[last blade]

Can yall guys help me with team building? I've been hiatus for a while

[cyan gorge]

but then how do they auto

[mild wind]

???

[near folio]

Bro almost got me in the first half

[mild wind]

anyway crusher only definitely doesnt work. too slow to destroy crystal before overflow with enemies

[celest bluff]

I lost 50 pulls and game gave me fedex

Rate up my ass

[scarlet mortar]

bro thought rate up is real

[celest bluff]

It was real when I pulled 4 Wisadel with no logos drop

[scarlet mortar]

you fool

HG let you pull her to kill your brain cells

and while your guard was down look what happened

[last blade]

Why??

[scarlet mortar]

it looked like you were in poverty in the first pic

then the second pic loaded

[wicked minnow]

fedex can solo right side if you have him. i just did a test run and barely managed it. It would need a tiny bit of rng but it shouldnt be too bad

[full terrace]

AoE, fast attack speed, block. Strictly 2 ops without Wis/Logos, Ling it.

Ambushers are really good for this event.

[wicked minnow]

grrr, that's also the obvious answer

[full terrace]

Even the tutorial stage lend you Manticore to showcase the Ambusher power

[wicked minnow]

i would imagine if he had ling he wouldnt be asking in the first place

i would hope so atleast

[mild wind]

[full terrace]

He is not struggling with the stage, he just want to auto it

[mild wind]

i can auto but just wonder if i can 2op without those two

[full terrace]

And asking for strictly 2 ops I assume he has thousands of built ops

[full terrace]

Ofc you can

[mild wind]

its fun to have alot of raised operators but missing the very specific ones

[full terrace]

Arkrec has some records like Ela solo even

[mild wind]

oh well i only count lowop based on how much squad slot is clogged anyway

[mild wind]

which in a sense this already is

[full terrace]

Ngl I wanna make autoes with Pepe and Naran, both are AoE operators and both are low on trust

But I'm super low on resources urgh

[split cloak]

Love playing these 3 units and being able to auto trust farm with them

• skalter lol

Uploaded a recording of it

[mild wind]

👴

[pearl breach]

Mumu start works, lmao

I can send you the video if you want to

[full terrace]

I heard there will be new feature coming with the IS5 expansion

That you can record your play and give your friends the code to replay it

[pearl breach]

Yes there is

You can copy your friends IS feed

[full terrace]

Yah

Gonna save me a lot of time from not manually screen recording

[pearl breach]

Making arknights content gonna be much easier later

I hope they start considering pc client + turning arknights into sandbox game mode

Where player can create their own custom map and share it with other player

Imagine annihilation with patriot as regular trash mob

[full terrace]

I only hope they make Icebreaker Games a permanent game mode

[pearl breach]

Thats very plausible tbh

[nova wing]

Something to share with you guys on breaking the gems manually, ethan helps alot

[full terrace]

Well yeah he is an Ambusher

[nova wing]

i was referring to his DoT
the crystals needs to break minimum 10 times or more with linked

ethan's s1 can wipe them faster when place at the middle of those crystals

[full terrace]

Yah I know #strategy message

[nova wing]

oh i missed that, nice

[foggy grove]

if you use manti on tutorial you know how good ambusher is

[full terrace]

The tutorial lend you Manticore. I think the devs intention is for us to abuse Ambushers

Yeah

[foggy grove]

like i don't even deploy the additionals ops they give

[nova wing]

more ops to farm trust

[weak gazelle]

uhh yeah
AS-7/8 can easily done by 2 ops with pretty much less or no effort

and solo it pretty much viable

[lucid flower]

How do you guys deal with the little crystal creatures in the top right side of as5

Do you just let the walk through or can you actually burst them down with e1 units

I only have e1 l20 units except for a maxed specter who I'm using to solo the lower left part of the stage

[full terrace]

You can let it walk through, it will go the left side

You can also assign a ranged unit or two for it while it walks

So that when it reaches the left side, it got only like half HP left (assuming you are using units like Kroos and has not enough dps). I'm sure it's not that difficult to deal with.

If you are worried about getting swarmed, can deploy a Defender right behind your Specter to block.

Most Guards/Vanguards are not that efficient in this event because of those crystal floors (dont you come to me and say hey I used Guards just fine, it's not efficient not that they cant clear stages). You need to constantly deal with it while enemies are regenerating it at insane speed. The general strats for low-end is to stack multiple Defenders to block (Defenders are really good in this event because aspd down means nothing to them since they are there not for their dps), and then use ranged dps (powerful AoE ones preferably) to kill the blocked enemies.

[nocturne cove]

i used exec alter as core op in all the normal stages

idk how hard ex and s stages will get

[glass monolith]

S-1 is funny

[tall sierra]

It only stop at lv29? For this week?

[spice mortar]

Just do it again

[tall sierra]

Or can squeeze more pts in stage 6

Getting the right card is hard

[sly drift]

Blue yellow is waaay too strong right
Target vs Score ratio

[full terrace]

No, the Greens dont give any good multiplier, they just produce more yellows. Best known combo right now is with Blue. You can get approx 5 millions in score by round 40.

[prisma lance]

You can get more points in free play

[prisma lance]

To get through round 12 you can play whatever combo, it is really harder to fail

[sly drift]

I wish EX boss is much harder

[tall sierra]

Sure ex gonna be tough

[vocal leaf]

my math isn’t mathing for this minigame

[tall sierra]

Same, i always go for yellow and that cyan core card

[sly drift]

How tough is though. Compared past event

[prisma lance]

Ngl AS-9 was the easiest stage so far

[tall sierra]

Dunno i dun play cn server

Sometime the boss manage to kill walter and logos

Sometime doesnt

[prisma lance]

I'm sure there is no event tougher than stultifera

[sly drift]

On release. Yes. SN is hardest on release.

But everything is pretty much cakewalk since sexas

SN on release is Insanity

[tall sierra]

The boss that stun on attack or cant be block @@

[prisma lance]

The only boss that has 5 stages

[tall sierra]

Yea... The boss abit annoying like those relic mechanic the special mob drop

Then the boss eat it along with any ops near it

[jovial nest]

has this template been shown before? Raining night Lungmen looks great.

[celest horizon]

Yep

[jovial nest]

thanks

[jovial nest]

If we're talking boss alone, I would mention Silberhezerne's Harold

[dapper hedge]

SN isn't hard anymore now there's multiple ways to bypass dodge

[prisma lance]

well all events nowadays are pretty much the same difficulty

[dapper hedge]

Eh babel can still be p tough

[viscid raft]

For the current annihilation rotation, who did you guys use to deal with top side mages?

[glass monolith]

I just helidroped them to death, featuring Lunacub for some additional damage

[viscid raft]

stalling tactic?

[vocal leaf]

horn thorns and gladiia, but she was there mostly for ulpi

[jovial nest]

Lappland or Gnosis alone removed that issue during those times anyways

[remote perch]

nothing
just let them walk to Logos range and die lol

[vocal leaf]

what was the right combo here?

[glass monolith]

My stalling tactics was for everything else

[scarlet mortar]

can't relate, had gnosis when it dropped

and W

[glass monolith]

That one stage with 3 lanes and 100 dogs in 2 minutes

[jovial nest]

also

[viscid raft]

i dont think ive used anyone but myrtle in your comp lol, whos your main dps

[jovial nest]

if we're only considering DURING the event's very own debut

[scarlet mortar]

you mean S-4

[jovial nest]

wouldn't OD be quite the absurdity?

[scarlet mortar]

yh OD-8 was the real shit

[jovial nest]

iirc, the hilarious OD -> WD really was brutal for new players

due to bosses

[scarlet mortar]

SN-9 was barely anything

[jovial nest]

the people stating SN was difficult was basing it purely from the dodge guys

and cacti

[scarlet mortar]

there's plenty low rarity stun/bind options even back then tbh

[jovial nest]

although SN-EX-8's medal was pretty metal

[scarlet mortar]

if people were somehow allergic to lapp

not to mention the handy

[jovial nest]

the true roughness of SN's enemies was experienced in IS3 anyways

[scarlet mortar]

nah SN-S-4-A/B were pretty fucked up

i can see people reasonably malding there

[jovial nest]

this was pretty rough from my memory

[scarlet mortar]

ehhh it's fine

[remote perch]

its kinda eh

[scarlet mortar]

the +1 block and extra aspd ones are broken

[remote perch]

not like the little handy is that impactful
you really only care about the field effect

[scarlet mortar]

just get those and win

[jovial nest]

of course SN rerun would've really nerfed the feeling due to having more and more easier options for CC

[spice mortar]

dolly

[remote perch]

dolly is whatever

[jovial nest]

dolly is only a struggle to those who can't keep throwing sodas

in other words....no

[remote perch]

Most annoying event is Harold, since brute forcing is actually punished

[spice mortar]

i struggled with dolly the most out of every event ive played xd

[jovial nest]

hilariously

[remote perch]

not like it stopped me

[jovial nest]

normal farmable Harold was rougher

than EX

[spice mortar]

harold was easy though

[jovial nest]

due to EX having an easier layout

for heaters

[spice mortar]

just need to plop down nightingale and its gg

[remote perch]

Easy if you take it slow, cuz brute force can be punishing

[scarlet mortar]

so-called 5* player

[vocal leaf]

no, it was way easier

[spice mortar]

shhh

still building up my roster

[glass monolith]

Astgenne Kroos La Pluma do hits. Manticore Ethan slow/bind. Tequila - S2 to kill top right. Roberta - Cannon bait with shield. Lunacub - camo so not hit by chaining/casters. R6 Iana doll keeper so die hard, utage helidrop when Iana falls to caster pressure. Totter to spawn kill invisible drones.

But like I'm just no 6* challenge myself. Just Logos half stage

[jovial nest]

it was more of like, since Harold was pretty brutal, I really learned the ins and outs of his fight to make my auto better. And once EX came out, I had 0 struggles with the EX fight.

[viscid raft]

I didnt get logos unfortunately

[scarlet mortar]

cliff and harold become much harder imo if your dps ops don't have good range

[viscid raft]

So basically kill top before they touch your units?

[spice mortar]

like, almost every afk 6* almost solos this anni

[viscid raft]

im talking about annihilation

[spice mortar]

so am i

anni = annihilation

only thing u need to worry about is final wave with the big dudes i guess

[vocal leaf]

did you cheat with ng and eyja tho? harold,my biggest nightmare

[jovial nest]

Eyja's range is perfect cover in EX

[sly drift]

Yea.. play *5 only.
Shit is not tower defense anymore with these *6

[jovial nest]

it allows almost all heater areas to be covered by her heals

also during that time

I was still using Typhon

Typhon's range really had solid cover for 2 heaters

lemme check if i can fish out pictures

[spice mortar]

nah i play for fun, if i cant be bothered with a stage or my roster doesnt have the ops yet i just throw 1 or 2 6stars in my team to blast lol

[dusty kestrel]

i see

[vocal leaf]

the stage was too easy with ng or eyja, that’s how i clear it the first time and it felt like brainded clear, no danger no struggle, for maleknights was really hard

not to mention mlynar, who i always try to not use because it’s like male wisadel

[glass monolith]

There is enough broken BS in 5* too.

[sly drift]

No *5 is broken

Strongest *5 you can bring are like.. shamare, Teq

Ptilopsis

Not even close to what "Bad" to mid *6 can bring

[spice mortar]

and still overkill for most stages lol

[sick basin]

What's the optimal strategy for the minigame endless mode? The farthest I've gotten was round 29.

[spice mortar]

i think ive seen most people running blues and yellows

[sick basin]

explain

[sly drift]

Blue and yellow is easy to build and decent score

[sick basin]

I thought level 3 max purples have the most points

and red at the side?

[spice mortar]

ive no clue, ive barely played the mode lol. just noting what ive seen

[sly drift]

Oh wait.. if you are going endless then you play purple lmao

Blue yellow is for mid play

[sick basin]

Yeah, I'm trying to figure purple out correctly

[sly drift]

Late game is purple. From what I heard

[spice mortar]

ah

[sick basin]

math kind of checks out but sometimes it's inconsistent or I calculated wrong

or I get bad RNG during shop refreshes

[heady saddle]

can i beat new anni with this team

[spice mortar]

yes, get some form of invis reveal tho

for aerial

[spark sinew]

they just die by themselves though

[spice mortar]

ye but they make cannon go off faster

iirc

[heady saddle]

i have scene so that works

[spark sinew]

sounds counterproductive

just ignore drones, they're mainly a zoning tool

[heady saddle]

ive got no idea how to make this work tho the chain casters from the top or the sheer number of the +1 block guys screw me

[sick basin]

damn. Any idea how to reach the end?

[jovial nest]

hahah, Meyja's paradox.

[somber falcon]

You have horn, just point her upwards
As for slugs fedex should be able to tank just fine

Also did you not e2 a 5* with ticket?

[vocal leaf]

horn s1 should be better there

[heady saddle]

ya i did that for cantabile

[vocal leaf]

it seems to have a snowball effect, so be sure to always be ahead, im trying to hit 40 too

[sick basin]

My problem is what should my early game be and so on

mid then late

[vocal leaf]

2 yellow and purple, im not sure tho

[somber falcon]

Cyan and yellow

[vocal leaf]

also you should get and upgrade the red ones as you progress because they have a passive income

[heady saddle]

heres my roster if theres an easier team to do it with

[sick basin]

after I get all the slots/gems unlocked, I just spam this until I run out. Is this optimal?

I only reach round 33 or so

[glad spoke]

i thought endless mode doesn't unlock until later

[tall sierra]

It on 6th class where after u clear round 12 u option to pick endless mode

[glad spoke]

oh

[rich nymph]

shouldn't it be 31 blue 2 gems and 31 yellow gems? I don't understand how 4:1 comes into the equation im sorry😭

[spice mortar]

Yeah the ratios are kinda fucked i think

Dont make sense to me either

[wary imp]

24F strat?

[wary imp]

HOWWWWWWWWWW

[wary imp]

i favor blue gems

[wary imp]

thats like
20% of ur blue go yellow
i guess?

[sick basin]

Okay so, start by building with cyan/yellow gems, purchase slots then reds for passive currency, then start buying blues. and then follow this formation

the reds have the ability to not need to be in the board when at level 2/3

[glass monolith]

Also gem preview has ability to not count red boards at all

[sick basin]

cyan yellow strat is great early and mid game

[wary imp]

yeah
what about t4 red?
it dont have passive buff

[sick basin]

you won't need t4 red

maybe buy it to get it out of the shop when you don't have slots

[wary imp]

ok
...
i kinda underestimated the purple
low value

[sick basin]

purple is endgame

when you max it

build first with cyan and yellow

when purples are level 2-3, start breaking the bank

[wary imp]

ok

[sick basin]

also READ the yellow types. You specifically want to buy the level 3 nodes

[wary imp]

ok so at ~20 or so i start this?

[sick basin]

I would say so, depending if you're lucky with shop rng
