[scarlet mortar]

idt you do

SL7 or sth should work?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJN6PEgM2WI

[vocal leaf]

[glass monolith]

I'm pretty sure Ange S3 make it possible with sl4/7 (when was increase) force no trouble. Mastery can probably do without Ange deploy

[civic bear]

Iirc mastery is kinda bad

Even

Cuz makes her skill last long so longer cycle

Still doable with all level tho

[glass monolith]

I meant Weedy paradox is possible without mastery because given Ange. Ange paradox is absolute trash with random enemy deciding to split box hole and walk away due nanopixel difference in push and pull of the same force value

[civic bear]

Oh weedy paradox

The ra one right

[glass monolith]

Hole, clownslayer, bunch of wraths, 1 mudrock colossus

[civic bear]

Ye

[glass monolith]

Also shrooms from grand chief I think

[civic bear]

You can use s1 even

[lime moon]

can someone tell me how good sand reckoner is for a 5*? he doesnt seem that useful on first glance

[glass monolith]

I assume he is bad because the banner gave me 7 of him (Telling as person who had 0 Cantabiles on her release)

Cope RA expansion 2 consumable to make Sargon ops capture low hp beasts with attacks

[lime moon]

"Banner" means a "page" in the headhunting section?

[glass monolith]

Basically yea. Gacha players love spreading names of stuff among gacha games and I don't bother

[lime moon]

i see. i was thinking of using my free thingies on the limited egypt headhunting but i wasnt sure if there is a thing like sales in this game, and if its worth it considering i could get desert guy who seems meh

[glass monolith]

75 deal? Well dupe will bring gold certs. Or if you don't use them they will convert to limited banner certs which can be used to get some materials directly

[scarlet mortar]

it's also called a banner in arknights

[scarlet mortar]

he sucks

[wicked minnow]

he is reaaaallly bad

[scarlet mortar]

does no damage, bonus is neither significant nor applies commonly enough, summons can't block to even act as spare bodies

[lime moon]

yea i thought he could be OK because i thought his thingies dont count as units first

then i imagine it could be good for free dps but now i dont see the point in wasting unit slots for such weak minions even if theyre cheap

[wicked minnow]

he basically deploys orchids that cant slow unless he activates his skill which is insane(ly ass)

[alpine forge]

is there any guide for integrated strategies for each ending?

[full terrace]

Wiki

[shrewd hound]

If u mean how to clear them its gonna depend on what u draft

[elfin river]

Guys, is it just me or Specter paradox is busted? I tried Eckogen's strategy to deal vs that, but for some odd reason, the Sarkaz over there is kinda OP. Is it just me or did they buff them somehow?
https://youtu.be/1TlmltJd4TI

Or did they nerf Specter's S2?

I did exactly like him, but Specter isn't managing to kill the Sarkaz dude in time before she passes out.

[acoustic slate]

I have no idea if this simulation has RNG

But some of them definitely do

[civic bear]

sarkaz? shield guy?

your specter is s2l7 right?

prob because eckogens is max pot max trust

the trust is huge

80 atk

[celest bluff]

Also try to put mod on your specter

Module

[civic bear]

nah

if its level 60 you dont need module anymore

[elfin river]

I see. Mine is S2L6. I thought the other reason would be low lvl.

But I wanted to wait for you guys to clarify what's the root of this issue.

[civic bear]

its the trust

how much is her atk

[elfin river]

565 currently. Trust is at 19.

[civic bear]

yes

thats the problem

specter can only get off like 10 hits

during her skill

youre missing like 60 atk from that

so 120~ dmg per hit

1k dmg missing

out of 6k shielder HP

[elfin river]

I see.

[civic bear]

just do it later

while using specter in ur normal team

[elfin river]

Already doing that just to unlock her modules.

[civic bear]

👍

[elfin river]

Lvling up her trust

[civic bear]

its e2 1 right

[elfin river]

Doesn't lvl her up herself affect that or is it predesigned?

Ye

[civic bear]

paradox sim just uses the op u have for said paradox

the kroos and whatnot are predesigned

[elfin river]

I see. So the paradox involving the MC is affected by their stats?

[civic bear]

yes

[elfin river]

Thanks for the clarification.

👍

[civic bear]

usually e2 1 without trust are enough to clear

specter just the rare case

where you need that atk

just bad design by dev smh

[elfin river]

I see.

And the fella above said bout some paradoxes being RNG.

[civic bear]

eh i mean some op has rng yes but they all clearable without rng

[elfin river]

I see.

OK, then.

And I have enough money to lvl her up to lvl40.

This gives 653 atk.

I'll try and see if it works this way.

[civic bear]

im assuming u still have sl6?

[elfin river]

I'm lvling certain ops to deal vs Talulah later.

[elfin river]

ye

[civic bear]

hmm not sure if thats enough still

[elfin river]

Doesn't hurt to try and see.

[civic bear]

true

also

when you use the skill

use it when

her attack about to hit

the animation

cuz sl6 only last 11s vs 12s sl7

[elfin river]

I see. Makes sense.

[civic bear]

so you cant guarantee 10th hit under s2 but if you use it when a hit is about to happen the current attack gets the s2 buff

[scarlet fulcrum]

Some rng paradox also forgiving enough, like indigo for example

[glass monolith]

Indigo - Avatar of missing root on s2 with 4 charged while landing root off skill on basic attack spam

[scarlet fulcrum]

True

[elfin river]

Tried it. I'll have to lvl her S2 up. It's due of the time it gives currently.

[civic bear]

ye

10% atk matters too

[elfin river]

Indigo's not the only one. I have noticed Gladiia's Paradox being very forgiving and easy.

[civic bear]

thats like whopping 650 dmg more

[glass monolith]

As person who put her on wrong spot, can confirm

[elfin river]

Where did you put her? lmao

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea i said some there

[glass monolith]

In front of blue boxes and then S3 slightshoted trash into box

[elfin river]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I tried her S3 first time and I was like "WTF?" with that tornado, then I noticed that she pulled. Then I found the gaps at the right side, so I did put her at the same line where the boss was cuz I noticed his moving pattern. The rest was easy to deploy.

[full terrace]

So I tried 10-6 once and got this

Decided to do a 6x auto, and sidedrop result surprised me 😲

I'm gonna stick to 10-6 for rocks farm from now on

[woeful sierra]

Load into every stage with flagpipe texalt yato alt

[celest bluff]

Why are you farming rock now

[scarlet fulcrum]

eternal rock

[acoustic slate]

I’m sure you know this already but 10-6 is about 10% less efficient than 1-7 (even accounting for side drop) and it would be good to stay in the later farm unless you just need rocks right now.

[dapper hedge]

cant turn t3 to orundumb too

[prisma urchin]

Is there a way to tank patriot? He just looked at my hoshi and she died

[narrow pendant]

He does 2.1k x 4 with every attack

So possible? Yea
Shouldnt really do it

[lofty stag]

Yea your better off bursting him down

[narrow pendant]

Easier is to just kill him
Hes a punching bag in this day and age

[prisma urchin]

Old fossile

Belongs in a museum

[glass monolith]

And then IS5 arrive and that Museum is some ending boss and then fucking sidekick of final IS5 boss

[celest bluff]

Sometimes I wonder does HG even play test

[tidal sail]

For nearl light ex 5 challenge mode how do you cover like both of the blue box paths while only having 1 light crest

Do you just put it in between the path?

And try to spread the light to each individual blue boxes

[lofty stag]

Pretty much

[somber falcon]

@north plank

[north plank]

What direction is ng facing, up?

[somber falcon]

ye

[north plank]

What’s the setup of ur deployment is it the tanks first

[somber falcon]

yeah

saria and gav

[north plank]

What happened after this

[somber falcon]

it's just mobs

[north plank]

Is ulpipi just there for the one nuke and dip

[somber falcon]

only tal goes there

so just take him out on second fire

no need to have him waste heals

[north plank]

Question, what’s Ines use here

[somber falcon]

single crystal below ng

ng can tank one

destroy two with mlynar

[north plank]

What does Mlynar here for beside catching the fire dmg

[north plank]

Oh

Can u send more screenshots or that’s it

[somber falcon]

that's it for important part
just bring some more ground ops if saria or gavial dies on second fire

[north plank]

Saria skill 1 or 2

[somber falcon]

1

[north plank]

Tysm, not gonna do it rn ofc

Gravel here is just tanking shit I’m assuming, that’s all for my questions

[somber falcon]

yeah

just for bait

and helps for tanking second fire if needed

[north plank]

Isn’t Saria only heals on s1 if an ally is under 50% Hp

[somber falcon]

yeah

she's just gonna use it for herself

maybe ng

[north plank]

Damn, is it good still?

[somber falcon]

that's the better skill

[north plank]

I keep using skill 2 for aoe heal

[somber falcon]

higher percentage + lower sp even on sl7

also s2 kinda runs into same problem with gummy, just worse since it's also applied someone else

so she's just sitting duck during the 8 second after wasting a heal

while s1 has charges

[north plank]

Okay let’s go thru again
Gravel for bait,two tanks use for laneholding, Ines for destroying the crystals, Myrtle for emotional support and dp, ulpipi for nuke talulah, and 2 healers to heal during the fireball phase

[north plank]

GG also for supplementary dps

[somber falcon]

that can work

myrtle not needed tho

[north plank]

Fr?

[somber falcon]

just be careful and get her out asap if you use her near ng

otherwise waste of heals

[somber falcon]

look at first screenshot
ines is undeployed

[north plank]

Well Myrtle like, for early dps

Gn, thanks again

@somber falcon

[elfin river]

@civic bear, done. Did the Specter paradox. Lvled her skills up and did them in.

[celest bluff]

I am broke

200 pulls deep but no Pepe

[full terrace]

@ebon zephyr how bout chu Yuzu

Did you get your Naran

[frigid fjord]

can someone walk me through as ex 3 challenge mode? i have access to walter but my units can’t get me through the first 15 seconds of the battle

[full terrace]

What vanguards do you have

[frigid fjord]

i’m using pm all my sanity for the event rn, so i can’t do much building

[full terrace]

That Myrtle is E2, if your Myrtle cant generate the DP fast enough, deploy Gravel to block a bit for her.

Plume is a good choice but you dont have her raised.

[frigid fjord]

would melantha work at all?

[full terrace]

Courier is whatever Defender you have.

[full terrace]

Melantha works but she consumes too much DP, you can try her first.

You want to deploy Wisadel down as fast as possible

While having 2 units to block before she arrives

[frigid fjord]

i’ve been putting mountain in one lane, he’s 11 dp and he can hold one lane on his own

yeah that’s my issue 😔

[full terrace]

Mountain works

Can use Mountain to replace Courier, he will hold that lane

The top lane, Myrtle then Flametail

Stack them

[frigid fjord]

those two die very quickly unfortunately

i’ve tried all sorts of combinations of gravel, myrtle, and flametail. no dice

[full terrace]

Gravel works, just drop Myrtle first

Then Gravel in front of her

Then Mountain in Courier's place

[frigid fjord]

okay. i havent tried those two in top lane yet

[barren copper]

Hi! I am new, what should be the squad I start with?

[frigid fjord]

got it, thanks. can you help me out with as-ex-8 normal as well?

[frail rapids]

Didn't Kyo have a deep dive explaination on how to beat the stage on YouTube? You should give his method a try

[somber falcon]

You can try borrowing a duelist or any 1 block (preferably healable) to hold zubayr while you clear the mobs
Then just ray him

[pure orchid]

generally you go for something like 2 of everything when starting out
2 snipers kroos tuta
2 casters steward lava/click
2 vanguards fang/courier/myrtle vigna
2 defenders spot cuora/bubble
2 medics silence warfarin/perfumer

at this point you have 10 squad members, and 2 slots to spare
you can put random wildcard stuff there

for your roster, you'd probably appreciate some of these operators from time to time
pepe, humus, gravel, podenco, cutter, matoimaru, shaw, rope

i dont see lappland here but she should also be pretty good
jaye is also good but not the most beginner friendly to use
silverash is good but only when you e2 him

[frail rapids]

Who the hell is kroos tuta man

[somber falcon]

I appreciate your effort but recommending using ops they don't have yet is

[pure orchid]

they literally have all of them

[somber falcon]

I don't see cuora and vigna

[frigid fjord]

any duelist in particular?

[pure orchid]

if not, they're only missing low rarity ones which they will get very soon, just a matter of (short) time

[somber falcon]

Or any other non 3* defender other than nearl

[pure orchid]

Kroos 3-star marksman sniper
Tuta 6-star boomerang thing sniper

[somber falcon]

🐍 🦵
eun if you didn't get the joke

[frail rapids]

Her name is not tuta at all. I think you meant tuya? As In narantuya?

[pure orchid]

Its a community nickname

[frail rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/fig-gif-26092737

[somber falcon]

More like just #help channel

[pure orchid]

thats technically a community so 🥱

[somber falcon]

🤏

[pure orchid]

point stands like my phone when i meticulously balance it

[frail rapids]

Try melantha, she's easy to build and pretty tanky to hold zubair. Or cuora if you have extra materials for her

[pure orchid]

For duelist i recommend matoimaru over melantha simply because you can use her in base after you're done using her

Melantha just dies in a ditch afterwards

[frigid fjord]

im fortunate enough to have a ray i take very good care of so i could borrow any duelist

[pure orchid]

If you're borrowing a duelist-type operator and not specifically from the duelist archetype, why not try the premium options like surtr

[frigid fjord]

can do. where do i put them

[frail rapids]

The classic "just surtr it". amazing

https://tenor.com/view/surtr-arknights-just-use-surtr-gif-24975177

[somber falcon]

Do note that my suggestion was for long stall, so if you're gonna use surtr don't activate her s3

At least, not until p2 ig

[frail rapids]

Left side of the blue box, there should be a one lane down. Put the duelist there, and a medic to accompany them in the highground near the Blue box

[pure orchid]

ok wait let me lock in

oh as-ex-8

Okay yeah dont surtr

Zuo Le would be much better

[barren copper]

is this team good enough?

does melantha still hit hard?

[pure orchid]

Yeah but its a bit of a waste since you could just use matoi

Its a good start though

[frail rapids]

Hit hard, fall off hard too

[somber falcon]

Hard with a big quote

[barren copper]

sinverash instead of her?

[pure orchid]

Id replace amiya with steward/click since their damage is simply better at similar levels, but you'll raise her anyways for certain stages so its not the worst thing to do

Nearl for spot is also okay, but take note that she costs more to raise while performing only slightly better

[barren copper]

don't have them yet

[somber falcon]

This is slightly gameplay bias
But just kick myrtle out
She's not giving you anything worthwhile, especially at e0

[pure orchid]

Theyre low rarity, you'll get them soon

[barren copper]

I am on 1-1 so I think they will come from story

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats not bias, just kick myrtle

[frail rapids]

Myrtle hater. Not real

[pure orchid]

The myrtle hate is so saddening

[frail rapids]

[somber falcon]

:exugone:

[barren copper]

better?

[pure orchid]

Beanstalk is a choice of all time

[barren copper]

I still need to get many starters

[somber falcon]

Still better

[pure orchid]

She's kinda good but also not beginner friendly

Specter is... idk

[somber falcon]

Also yeah that's fine

[barren copper]

Ok thanks! I will get more units and see what I can replace

Would you select saria or mountain from selector 6* in my situation? I will get lapland soon

[somber falcon]

Wait actually yeah
Maybe humus rather than specter
Not much difference for now though, more of future investment

[frail rapids]

Prob mountain. He's so useful once you unlock his skill 2

[barren copper]

will get more units and ask after what should I invest in, thanks!

[somber falcon]

If you only want either of those two then I'd say mountain too
You can sub sa to tank ig

[scarlet fulcrum]

Lean more to balze or thorns, u can go fine with any of em except exu

[barren copper]

I am open to other ones yes. I only have silverash from there

[somber falcon]

Yeah if not restricted to them then +1 for blaze from me

[barren copper]

what would you pick?

[frail rapids]

But Thorns kinda ass before e2 tho. And blaze take like 10 busyness day to do what mountain does in 8second

[scarlet fulcrum]

U have budget of them, like nearl can be saria copium, but yea saria far better in any aspect. Balze fine tbh

[barren copper]

very different takes

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just take anyone beside exu and ofc SA since its dupe

[barren copper]

was exu ever good? I got her on release on the old account

and invested a lot in her

[pure orchid]

She was

[somber falcon]

Still pretty nice

[pure orchid]

Rn she needs the crutch of atk buffers, which just isnt cost efficient when you realize that means using 2 slots instead of 1

I really only bust her out when i specifically need the high hit count

[scarlet fulcrum]

U have naran moreover

[pure orchid]

Yeah thats just an extra nail in an otherwise already tightly sealed coffin

[full terrace]

Yes sure. You have Wisadel right? Are you familiar with Talulah mechanic?

[celest bluff]

I bring out Exu when I specifically need the role of a traditional sniper

[pure orchid]

Make air enemies great again

[scarlet fulcrum]

Krooster can cover that, and free

I won't recommend uxe with all that shits they have/accessible

[gusty depot]

[stark moth]

Looking for some help on 4-10!

Btw I E1ed gravel, which skill is better

[somber falcon]

have you not used your e2 5* ticket?

[somber falcon]

s2

[wicked minnow]

amiya is maxed

[stark moth]

I did

[somber falcon]

oh wait mb

[stark moth]

I’m just thinking, when should I deploy gravel

[somber falcon]

you deploy her to make FN stay in you dmg dealer's attack range longer

[stark moth]

Gotcha. But, does Gravel still insta die from Fn’s ability?

Like one shot

[somber falcon]

everyone does

it's placement is rng

so you can only pray it's on different tiles

[somber falcon]

have you tried using warf s2 + krooster for fn's p1?

[stark moth]

I’ll screen record a run later, gtg for lunch lol

[wicked ibex]

Yo, is there some tips for as-9? 8 was easy but I am having some problems with 9.

[glass monolith]

Define kind of trouble

[full terrace]

Are you familiar with Talulah mechanic?

[wicked ibex]

Can't block everyone and sometimes my dps on high blocks are Hko by the boss

[wicked ibex]

?

[full terrace]

Are. You. Familiar. With. Talulah. Mechanic.

[wicked ibex]

Nope

[glass monolith]

Top left bird if you can't sniper spawn kill it then 25 DP to use clear device to remove crystal tiles.
Boss phase 1 shouldn't be trouble if you survive hit. Phase 2 troublesome only if you allow crystal tiles to pile up.
I have no answer to stupid shield enemies

[somber falcon]

looks like the answer is no then

[full terrace]

The boss selects 3 of your last deployed operators and hit them with + shape explosions. So space your operators like this:
O X O X O X O X
X O X O X O X O
O X O X O X O X
X O X O X O X O
and each explosion will only target 1 unit.

[glass monolith]

When boss is blocked one of select 3 will target blocker

Find it out in EX where shit gets like +50% skill damage on top of EX stats forcing me to actually check what it does

[somber falcon]

:enhands:

[somber falcon]

anyways here's the full explanation if you're willing to read the technical readouts for zubayr

if not then carry on

[wicked minnow]

1. Deploy Blaze where highmore is. Deploy Amiya and Kroos2 like that. Activate Kroos' ability as soon as it's ready. Boss should die in phase 1 top row
2. Deploy Healer facing right, deploy defender. Have amiya charge up her skill.
3. Deploy someone like silverash on top of the caster to deal with the rest of the enemies coming from the 2nd row and maybe a healer if you need it
4. Activate Amiya s3 when ready and boss is on 2nd row
5. Block with gravel or literally anyone when needed on that tile

I couldnt get the exact levels of some things like my amiya is e2 level 1 and skill level 1 so the boss was left with 20% hp which i assume wouldnt be the case with you and Kroos alter would barely kill the boss for me due to skill level 7 which i also assume isnt the case for you. The main thing is im not sure who you have who could replace shalem. Maybe blaze and instead use silverash bottom side

Also a vanguard like myrtle would make this a bit easier, i just dont have a any vanguard built on this account

[somber falcon]

Kroos e1 max can kill just fine, though not entirely sure if trust stats actually mattered
Should be easy enough to circumvent with warf tho

[wicked minnow]

the guy i borrowed kroos from had max trust but level 4 skill

i think if you got skill level 7 it should be 👌

[somber falcon]

Nah
Adding myrtle will just make deployment positions too far to right side

Also just use blaze and sa as main mob blockers, simply point blaze up/down to help with the other lane

[wicked minnow]

geforce experience is a machine that turns 1 minute and 39 second video with 480p resolution and 10 Mbps into a 110 MB file. i give up

FrostNova huh

Back then I used Exu

[void wasp]

wait its 6-10... for some reason i thought it was 6-16... that version of Frostnova is evil if you can't find proper Exusiai

[full terrace]

Wow I just watched some random biased video justifying Spuria > Warfarin 😂

[tepid sigil]

Is that supah?

[void wasp]

i recall seeing one video outright claiming Spuria is a buffer and not a "debuffer" if you use it on artilleryman/spreadshooter/deadeye

now i don't regret having e1lv1 spuria xD

[wicked minnow]

bro i watched what is basically a spuria showcase video say that wisadel is the 4th best sniper and that her aoe isnt valued

it was trying to argue that wisadel was overhyped

[full terrace]

Nah not supah, I like supah

He is entertaining

[wicked minnow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTZ7D3Zyx3M

[void wasp]

recently had Ray in IS and realized Wisadel is not the best single target nuke in the game

[full terrace]

Ermm lemme get his name

Dr. Nomen 😂

[wicked minnow]

shit has to be sarcastic but guy was actually defending his point

[tepid sigil]

Mb, sometimes when a funny takes i always thought it's supah who said it
He loves to troll

[void wasp]

pretty sure this was sthe video i saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwr5aa99cCA&pp=ygUbc3B1cmlhIGlzIGEgZmxhd2xlc3MgYnVmZmVy

[full terrace]

Oh man this is the same person

Lmao

[wicked minnow]

bro is clinically insane

[void wasp]

xD bro wtf a direct comparison Warfarin vs Spuria

[wicked minnow]

honestly, i came out of that video thinking Spuria is not that bad

not that she's better in anyway

[tepid sigil]

How come bro forget about exalter as guard, he basically doing true aoe

[wicked minnow]

honestly have no idea. and the fact that this video has a good like-to dislike is kinda funny

[glass monolith]

Imagine world where Splash Caster is not smalled AoE range in world?

[tepid sigil]

After watching his videos, he only needs a bit of enlightenment, he's lost

[wicked minnow]

im just imagining him making this point unironically about the aoe completely missing what holds the operators he listed back

carnelian literally does fuck all for 30-40 seconds just so that she can use a skill that does good damage but not waiting 40 seconds good. Pepe is a good guard but she is arguably worse than Gavial2 which came 2 years before her. Saying that pepe would be good if aoe mattered is . He has to be missing the point on purpose

[void wasp]

what is the point of AoE if she can only attack like 2 tiles?

[wicked minnow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgu5jhn9pRc in place of shalem you can use whatever you have to hold the enemies back. Also you might have to deploy the operator there a bit later since your amiya might kill the enemies before charging her skill in time

[full terrace]

Yah Spuria's buff is not that bad honestly, but the self-stun drawback is massive. I can see from the guy's angle, but man.. he is forgetting that Warfarin is a Medic and Spuria is a dps. He compared Spuria's buff with Warfarin's buff but includes Spuria's dps and def ignore and whatnots, ofcourse if you include all of those vs Warfarin's buff alone Spuria will come out on top, but guess what? It's only "comparable" to Warfarin

I mean if you wanna compare them unbiased, you should pick a scenario where both operators' strengths are fairly showcased. Like if you wanna include Spuria's buff plus her main role as dps, then you should include Warfarin's buff plus her main role as healer as well. Pick a scenario where there is a large wave of ranged enemies swarming at your Sniper. Will Spuria+Sniper with her dps survive the wave (by killing the enemies fast through the additional damage from Spuria) or will Warfarin+Sniper with her heal survive it (by sustaining the Sniper with Warfarin's heal). If you dont want to do this then showcase fairly with only Warfarin buff vs Spuria buff without her attacking.

[void wasp]

doesn't Spuria buff persist if she were to retreated?

i recall Warf buff persisting

[full terrace]

Yah I think the buff persists, I didnt raise her but I remember using her a couple of times in IS3 (I got her as temp recruit)

[full terrace]

Also btw, if you wanna bring dps to partner with your Sniper, it doesnt have to be Spuria, you can just bring one more powerful dps and this unit will be infinitely better than her.

Say for example, Logos.

His entire argument fell apart because of this bias

[wicked minnow]

Yeah the showcases were not really fair to Warfarin. Just that Spuria's performance was a bit suprising. I think the idea is that the stuns she causes allies dont reduce the allies' damage if their attack interval is longer than the duration of the stun and that her dps is not negligible. She's also still limited to just sniper. So even best case senario she's a warfarin that can only buff snipers

Saying that she's better than warfarin is just pushing it a bit

[void wasp]

snipers "that attack slow"

Warfarin gives more freedom, i find it funny when people complain "there is no good Warfarin tile" how about just don't deploy everyone near the one operator you will be buffing?

[full terrace]

Also true yeah 100/100. Warfarin works on any class while Spuria is only Sniper.

[void wasp]

only advantage you will get is that Spuria's buff guaranteed to go on the operator you want as it doesn't have random targetting

[full terrace]

Oh I just tried searching this server for this person but didnt find him, but I found this person instead #arknights message who raised Spuria after watching his video

RIP that person

[void wasp]

they can buff Toddifons now

[wicked minnow]

Also that dr.Normen guy does ragebait professionally. His most popular videos are all ragebait

[void wasp]

i wanted to build her so Amiya S3 targets the boss on the map over the trash mob

then i realized its just me being dumb and most bossed can be isolated easily

[stark moth]

Thx

[north plank]

@somber falcon I beat Talulah but die to trash mob I’m gonna kms

[full terrace]

JT8-3? How did you die to trash mob? Your laneholders die from fireballs?

[north plank]

Yah

Anyway…

After optimizing everything

I did it

[full terrace]

Congrats

[civic bear]

Spuria stun is really not huge deal. It's only 20%

And even if you get stun average luck you still gain significant boost

Cuz aspd brr

She just has lots of restriction that it's hard for her to even be that much worth than other buffer

Can only buff sniper, she herself is sucky, sniper also want atk first ideally since phys reaching that threshold is more important esp cuz Ely exist if you somehow need aspd anyway

Bringing her just ends up not worth the slot

Not to mention the nature of buffing only really required in high end content which amplify aboves limitation even more

[vital vessel]

lemme see your squad again

📿

[pure orchid]

Hey at least you spaced ops correctly

That better than a vast majority of clears

[native birch]

Whats the least amount of ops that can sustain surtr s3?

[woeful sierra]

how lucky r we feeling today

whats the chances of her dodging like 5 attacks

[pure orchid]

from what i remember people said 4, but you may be able to reduce that with very strong burst healing like Shu and CE, both of which can sustain surtr on their own during their respective skill durations

Add ptilo and that makes just 3 actually

[glass monolith]

N.O.P.E

19 enemies and 13 of them is this fucking door

[pure orchid]

Enemies that need burst are peak comedy

That or combination of arts and phys

wait is this hg's (poor) attempt at making mixed dmg good?

[glass monolith]

It is all Franka propaganda

[pure orchid]

who the hell is Franks
oh Franka

Took her long enough

[glass monolith]

Fuck you, fuck your typing speed, fuck my auto correct on phone

[pure orchid]

Its been what, 4 years?

[somber falcon]

Ebenblast go boom

[pure orchid]

Yes fuck me

Logos was darn stupid here, bro just make doordash enemy dissapear

[glass monolith]

I want to say for event stages which goes as AS-EX and AS-S they don't disappoint in challenge

[glass monolith]

And then there is my stupid ass who enjoy DoTs and fast attacks so 2 second of bitch on field and it max stacked

[mystic plaza]

who should i go for?

[somber falcon]

What other ops do you have?

[mystic plaza]

just started a while ago

[somber falcon]

I recommend either saria or thorns

[mystic plaza]

is there anything i should know before i choose between the two?

[dapper hedge]

My god I fucking hate these mummies so much LMFAO

Wish we have bobbing by now in global fuck this

[somber falcon]

Saria is for your main general tank, while thorns is more of standard dmg dealer, though he needs his e2 more

If you prefer having a burst dmg dealer instead then you can pick sa though like thorns he needs e2 to access the particular skill for that

[glass monolith]

Have I told how much I hate fucking mandatory Ines levels here and there?

[dapper hedge]

I hope whoever design S-2 CM shit their pants during meeting, actually diabolical

[mystic plaza]

ahh, well i dont have the resources to get to e2 rn so im guessing saria should be my aim

[somber falcon]

You don't necessarily have to e2 now, I meant that in long term

[mystic plaza]

true

[somber falcon]

Also you can use your instant e2 5* ticket for a significant boost

[mystic plaza]

i was told that using it on lappland or tequila would be good

[somber falcon]

Yeah

[mystic plaza]

im one stage away from getting tequila

[somber falcon]

Greyy alter is also a good choice

[mystic plaza]

i can get that op rn?

[somber falcon]

You have him

[mystic plaza]

damn, didnt know that was his alter

[somber falcon]

Og one is a 4*

[glass monolith]

All alters go like Name The Fancy text

[mystic plaza]

completely thought alters in this game were similar to fgo

[somber falcon]

*all but one

[glass monolith]

Fuck Kirin X Yato

[somber falcon]

Oh wait
Three then

[jovial nest]

FGO alters are completely different entities or timelines. Most gacha alters are just same character same timeline but (insert reason here)

Fate started the ideas of alters in the mainstream

a "What If"

here's the thing

Skalter is an FGO-like alter

no other AK alter is like Skalter

[glass monolith]

Chen alter: You not worthy to die by my sword. Pulls out custom made fucking water shotgun which should have pump truck in background to justify damage it does

[jovial nest]

use skin

[somber falcon]

Tbf some are just pretty much different outfits and ToH just goes like "i have never seen this person in my entire existence"

[jovial nest]

"Ink cannon" it is

[jovial nest]

some alters are just as shallow as "oh I'm in my bathing suit now"

[glass monolith]

Dusk Ink, change my mind

I feel bad for S stages to instantly explode when I changed to rarity abuse mind set because I am not fucking doing it any other way have you seen S-2 3 and 4?

[jovial nest]

Still the best application of an "alter" ever.

[somber falcon]

Well yea it's the og vision

Actual different aspects personified

[jovial nest]

if you think about it, Archer is just Shirou alter
/jk

[woeful sierra]

does he get an attack boost in cm. on calc this is only doing 1320 to walter who has 1405 hp but i swear this has killed her before at this hp

he also just used his barrier, idk if i have time to retreat and redepoly walter here

he kills :D

[somber falcon]

cm always bumps stat

20%

10 for old events

[woeful sierra]

holy shit this might be the most big brain thing ever i can manip the aggro by retreating then blocking off the top right revenant with the pillar and activating skill so she doesnt have to tank

[woeful sierra]

i thought it was just the extra clauses gg

[wary shuttle]

doesnt damage also scale from amount of green tiles

[woeful sierra]

yh extra 6% each tile

[wary shuttle]

do yk if its multiplicative with cm stat buff?

[woeful sierra]

i think its atk gets a 25% boost not his overall dmg

so instead of 800 atk he has 1k

[celest bluff]

Raytheon water gun
Raytheon

[sonic bramble]

getting cooked in AS-S-4 cm

[jovial nest]

been a while since I was able to do this.

Pretty fun

awww CM banned the tile

Galter is about to return....to solve that top lane issue

tch.

[sonic bramble]

that stage was nasty

[jovial nest]

ok Reedic was my solution

someone that can take the hits while dishing it out

4 trust farm practice successful.

[dusty cedar]

Oof, that stage is awful

With the bird arts snipers at top

[jovial nest]

also unblockable mummies

in CM

[dusty cedar]

Wtf

[jovial nest]

[dusty cedar]

[jovial nest]

yeah the CM bans all ground tiles on the east side

[dusty cedar]

This is gonna be rough...

[jovial nest]

and faster crystal spawn for 1 owl in CM

[dusty cedar]

Unlockable, should be manageable with a high tile dps

Fifty fifty

[sonic bramble]

how does one beat AS-S-4

its kicking my ass

keep losing at the last few

[dusty cedar]

A-s-s kicking ass

Mfw typo

[wary shuttle]

is splitboxing the mummies into the hole viable in as-s-2

[split cloak]

Cant beat As s 2 with my alt it's a dph check ZZZZZ

[sick knoll]

borrow walter and then chip the other lane 🚬

walter holds the top lane (toys) then kills the tomb guards with some block support

[jovial nest]

if you plan to clear its CM

[tidal sedge]

why are they so fast !

[jovial nest]

there's literally no ground lane on east path

did you bother to read what they do?

you saw them do that in normal farm maps too

[sick knoll]

it's a meta player 😔 (EN hands)

[jovial nest]

i am a meta player too

there's literally no excuse

[sick knoll]

didn't they have a tutorial?

[dusty cedar]

Maybe they didn't read

[jovial nest]

first 4 are trust farm (self-imposed challenge) and the rest are meta af

[sick knoll]

should switch out thorns for shu for that extra meta 🤔

[jovial nest]

Shu's not getting too much value on this event

Thorns can help lane and crystal kill

[tidal sedge]

i forget to bring myrtle + bagpipe

[jovial nest]

meta is meta. but don't be stupid and NOT bring the best operators for the event's gimmick

[dusty cedar]

From where Logos is standing I saw that Lin is a good opener for the owls

[sick knoll]

you can just walter the entire first wave pretty sure I haven't cleared 4 yet done cm on the rest though

[dusty cedar]

Walter can solo handle left side pretty sure, dunno about right side who will

Those mummies on cm suck

[sick knoll]

he has muelsyes so I guess that would work

[full terrace]

Going in blind, what a horrible positioning 🤣

[sick knoll]

number 2 cm?

[dusty cedar]

Yes

[sick knoll]

walter the left side then get ray on the right side with like an orchid js so you don't freak out with cycles

[dusty cedar]

Ooh I'll try that

I guess Ray for the bruteforce

Those things' def are ass to deal with lol

[sick knoll]

or if you want to do it the silly way you can not use walter open but instead with ethan and gladia e2 and pray rng doesn't kill ethan

and if you're sticking to the abyssal hunter bones use upli skill three for left side and get pepe or something to stun lock + chip left tombs by placing her before they come then finish them off by stacking a few using the help of specter (alt or not) s2

weird for no reason but ay no walter happy

[dusty cedar]

Man I wish I had an ulpi

[sick knoll]

what.? but your name... Did you not pull for him?

[split cloak]

Lolol when in doubt

Eckogen

Im sorry brain

[dusty cedar]

He who seeks the righteous path does not always guarantee their desire

Lmao, no I didn't I mean

[sick knoll]

[dusty cedar]

I am an f2p not whale

So whale ulpi not answer my call

[sick knoll]

the only operator I commited all 4 of my acc into (the only time aside from walter)

Gota love upli

[dusty cedar]

Ulpi paying all 4 child support

Let's gooo

[split cloak]

Yeah I'm not beating as s 3

[sick knoll]

yeah that start is tough

[split cloak]

Too fresh of an accnt but at least i beat all ex cm

I say it's impressive for a 13 day old accnt

[crystal meteor]

ulpi has the biggest attack stat with all the atk buffs right? That was my reason to pull him

[split cloak]

External atk buffs gets diluted because of his innate atk buffs

But it kinda benefits the first anchor drop cuz it has high atk scale

[crystal meteor]

Thats true for all ops, its just for a screenshot of one giant attack stat

[dusty cedar]

Ulpi is like

[split cloak]

Not true for all ops. Eg tuta

[dusty cedar]

The most inflated all-stats op out there

Like he's all numbers

[crystal meteor]

I still dont have stainless and pallas built so i cant do a mega buffed ulpianus

[split cloak]

So yeah, some benefits from external atk buffs while some like ulpi has minimal effects

[crystal meteor]

His base is already big though

Its not like mlynar

[split cloak]

You'll know what dilution means in the future i guess

[crystal meteor]

Its not about being efficient

Its about reaching the biggest number

[dusty cedar]

Yeah p sure Ulpian has

[split cloak]

Ray gets it better cuz shes atk scale, not atk buff

[dusty cedar]

The highest hp pool possible out there

With AH buffs

[crystal meteor]

When the strat of bringing ulpianus with 5 supporters is generally not a good idea

[dusty cedar]

Tbf with just those 5 you got a really stacked roster

except the adopted

[sick knoll]

ulpi need one true support and it's gladia

[split cloak]

Try ray with buffers to get bigger red numbers

[sick knoll]

after that pretty much js set

[dusty cedar]

Yeah Gladiia is technically all he needs

The rest are just

Extra toppings to the milkshake

[crystal meteor]

The problem with ray is she gets less buffers, and her big number is damage, not the atk stat

[dusty cedar]

Idk if Ray is the biggest DPH out there

Her and maybe

Eben, Ulpi and Pepe

[sick knoll]

hunters has the highest single dmg per shot bc of trait and js raw stats but alr (for snipers)

[split cloak]

Ulpi is the biggest i think

[dusty cedar]

That's what sh-

Funny actually that

Ray has much higher DPH than Wisa

[crystal meteor]

The general atk buffers are like aak, warf, skalter, and stainless. For ulpi he gets to be buffed by ah, and instructors, and pepe's talent

[dusty cedar]

Pepe's talent is kinda...

[crystal meteor]

At least she doesnt need to be deployed so its free 20% atk with pot

[dusty cedar]

Wait it's just a squad buff?

I mean like

Not need to be deployed?

[split cloak]

Even then ray would still get bigger red numbers cuz of how her s3 works

[dusty cedar]

That's actually pretty decent

[sick knoll]

deployed 😔

[crystal meteor]

Oh wait

I misremembered it

[scarlet fulcrum]

ppl was coped for handbuff mod, sadge

[dusty cedar]

Oh... 😔

[sick knoll]

could have made pepe js nice if they removed the cap for sp regain and kept the rest the same (for mod)

[split cloak]

The cap is nothing

You usually dont even cap it in a lot of stages

[sick knoll]

the cap is 15 dp and that's where your creative gamer brain gets thinking

[split cloak]

Yeah you usually dont cap it. Mod changes that

[sick knoll]

yeah and the real cap is js 17 make it 20 or sum

[split cloak]

17 potless iirc

[sick knoll]

I want my pepe to succeed not get capped

[split cloak]

I already said it's not the problem but aight

[sick knoll]

her problem is wacky skill cycle with s3 and range issues but lets try and fix one properly? If you position her right don't think wacking up some kills is too difficult (though I kinda js use her as heli drop nuker)

[dusty cedar]

He problem is that one-tile ass range

She hits like a truck tbf

But she kills the enemy too fast to use her aoe

[sick knoll]

carried for gl-s-2 no comments

[dusty cedar]

[jovial nest]

impressive. This event's S maps have drained my plans for the day.

Got up to S-4 CM

the CMs did make it extra spicy

and the DP risk too

[wary shuttle]

how do you deal with the right lane on as-s-2

[full terrace]

Gladiia be pulling all the Wagons and Unicyclists 😂

[jovial nest]

oh

there's no S-5

i'm so used to there being one

[narrow patrol]

Only S-4 and the MO stage

[jovial nest]

they really just made such an annoying map to defend while spamming wagons, mummies, and arts claw cats

i guess they had their fill of owl camping in S-2 and S-3

either way, i didn't use Gladiia/pull ops, and didn't bother removing my 4 trust ops

I'm happy to have cleared it with those restrictions

S-4 and MO really love making annoying map layouts to defend

[foggy grove]

ew i hate s stage semi forcing peoope to use vg

[split cloak]

I brought 2 flags cuz why not

[gloomy palm]

Can this effect on death be negated by Lappland S2?

[sullen rover]

i used no vgs

s1 ray wis
s2 wis lin
s3 sa asca shu
s4 ulpenis gladiia zuo le asca

[foggy grove]

i'm wis hater

also i'm using goober

[sullen rover]

u dont need wis

[foggy grove]

[full terrace]

No. Abilities that can be Silenced have X bullet instead of O

[foggy grove]

huh

[full terrace]

Like this @gloomy palm

[foggy grove]

sec

[gloomy palm]

Tom.Hanks

[full terrace]

You are welcome

[foggy grove]

the answer is yes

blud make me doubting my memory

no corruptions dropping

[full terrace]

Icon bug then

Lemme go test it real quick

Yah it's silenceable. It's an icon visual bug

[sly drift]

Oh man..

This is DPS check

[grave thistle]

How do I stall that buffed elite enemy on the right on AS-S-2 cm?

[sly drift]

It hit too hard. Most effective method is just killing them faster lmao.

Which you will need hybrid of physical and art

Huge DPS check

[grave thistle]

Can't deploy Logos faster

[sly drift]

Print dp faster

I think this is one of the best stage for ebenholdz

[grave thistle]

My only reliable dp printers are Myrtle and that 5* ines (forgot her name)

[full terrace]

Decel Binder + dps

[grave thistle]

Decel binder builds the enemies's res and can't kill it with Logos S3

I don't think I have physical dps

[full terrace]

Wdym cant? Logos just demolishes everything, with module he even trigger Necrosis Burst, thats basically True Damage, and even if he doesnt work you can just use Sniper.

[sly drift]

Ffs.. The worst thing is actually that two unicycle forcing you to rush your deployed op

[limpid ore]

[pearl breach]

So.. did you manage to cheese it with heavy rain?

[wicked minnow]

im trying to do this stage welfare only, it's a bit tough ngl

Also krooster + the tiles that connect shit is a pretty good opener

you get 99 dp immediately and can deploy everyone

with multiple healers you can tank the unicycles a bit while you try to kill them

my problem is mainly with the dps check

[sly drift]

Not a problem on early. But in mid game can't pass the DPS check

[wicked minnow]

dps check is a bit rough. im currently using tequila and valarqvin and they keep getting overwhelmed. I could beat the stage but 2 leak

[crystal meteor]

Almond doesnt get shift level increase before level 7😱 how am i supposed to clear lungmen ourskirts

[wicked minnow]

almond is a very weird puller since she doesnt really follow the same pull force structure of other pullers

that's her s1 atleast

[full terrace]

AS-S-2 CM. Key is Asca, Wis can be any Sniper that can reach Unicyclists up there. Right side just stack some Decel Binder plus some dpses.

[wary shuttle]

I got away with guardmiya if that counts, and I had tequlia kill the mummies of the last wave early on

not enough in cm though

[sly drift]

Sure.. I know that Andreana will prioritize Lowest def enemy to attack. But for fk sake she will prioritize green tiles over enemy with full HP while on S2

When I thought she finally get a stage for her niche

[smoky halo]

the green tiles have 0 def

🚬

its just doing as intended

[crystal meteor]

I finished lungmen outskirts, how about lungment downtown now

[crystal meteor]

How do i beat anni 3 with e0 and sl3-4

[gloomy palm]

Wack

[celest bluff]

You don't

[celest bluff]

Unless you are masochist

[grave thistle]

What should I prioritize in AS-S-3?

[sly drift]

Invis Birdy

[crystal meteor]

dont tell them about nightingale

[full terrace]

Bring Asca, open with Mlynar or SilverAsh, then Vanguards and generate DP

[somber falcon]

then fail because the bird got its tile

Oh wait sa

[full terrace]

Mlynar/SA first to get rid of the crystal floors

[sly drift]

Holy...
This cm is well crafted to piss people

[full terrace]

I'm lazy to switch account

There

[glass monolith]

THIS crafted to piss me specifically

Targeted attack by CNs game dev

Also I will bring e2 Franka when rerun comes

[dapper hedge]

<@&586570970345635868>

Damn still not over yet

[somber falcon]

Have you tried april and/or canta?

[sly drift]

What happened?

[glass monolith]

My issue aren't bird ups. My issue is this door having stats of chapter 14 double door, except x4 hp

[somber falcon]

Maybe pushing with feater/enforcer can work

[narrow patrol]

CM mode denies you that ground tile below blue box so you better have some good
Ranged ops who can nuke the shit outta those mummies before they make it to your box XD

[glass monolith]

If you blocking door after giving it +50 attack and +150 attack speed or how much it buff enemies - Stop it. Get some help

I placed Ulp on red tile and had him punch shit out of door

[sly drift]

This stage is HUUUGE DPS check. It is absurdly hard when you refuse to use AOE nuker unga bunga ops. But become dramatically much fking easier when you use them.

Like... Literally just DPS check. Nothing more.

[glass monolith]

Weedy S3 shoperatored back in 2022 check

[sly drift]

That's why it shitting you when u use *5 or low rarity

How heavy the mummy anyway. Why there's a hole on middle left

[glass monolith]

Franka, Tequila, Shamare, . Just I didn't build 3 of those idiots

4

Weedy s3 cannon easily holes. Cannonless might work if enemy close to hole but without ange s3 won't guarantee

[sly drift]

Tequila can cheese it until its uncheesed when the mummy stack is full

Tried using Andreana to take half of mummy HP but mf attack tiles instead. Insane fish

[scarlet mortar]

wait surely you can blockshift those mfs

CM aside

[glass monolith]

I think first most left one cut corner making you think you can, but then remaining 8 do not

Map feels like community designed at this point

Because plain evil

[dapper hedge]

It's probably slightly doable if there's dp regen but it doesn't so good luck trying not to get one shot by fucking bird

[scarlet mortar]

oh nvm it's the mfs on the right

[full terrace]

S stages are always bunch of dps checks

[scarlet mortar]

surely you can slow them to death

[full terrace]

Dont torture yourself with 5 Stars

[scarlet mortar]

the actual challenge

[glass monolith]

I already finished them with Wisadel why you guys still thinking I am actually trying that dogshit

[somber falcon]

mystics do wonders for right side

[full terrace]

Mah man

[scarlet mortar]

bc you're a good player

cluel

[glass monolith]

Unless you be me and activate Indigo s2 to instantly stack 85 RES

[somber falcon]

just use iris smh

beeg dmg + sleep

[glass monolith]

I will get better on rerun... Or restore... Or won't

[sly drift]

Do you have Feater S2M3 or something

I wonder if you can just stack 3 of them using defender and push them off using lvl 4 shift

[scarlet mortar]

still think you can block 2 and slide the rest down the hole

but idk i haven't been able to log on

[sly drift]

I am also tempted to S2 Cliffheart them while Ethan bind them on middle left around the hole.

Like the true damn nerdy play

[neon turtle]

:clueless:

[prisma urchin]

Ass is hard >.< help

[glass monolith]

I can offer pat of agreement on your back

[somber falcon]

don't make it hard 👍
that'll be 500k lmd for the consultation

[prisma urchin]

Whats the weakness of the gem carriyer?

[somber falcon]

jokes aside
which stage and what's exactly your problem there

[prisma urchin]

Ass

1

And the bird that make pew pew when in contact with gem

[glass monolith]

Cart can be murdered with arts but you will get trolled by Taunt door.
Gem carrying whatever that was is just easy to kill but game spams way to many

[prisma urchin]

And how i avoid the roller bird to laser my untis to dust?

[glass monolith]

Utage s2 drop for me kill cart but could be e2 mastery difference

That's ALL birds map will have. Kill them

[somber falcon]

block the cart

[prisma urchin]

Hmmm

With so less dp... x.x

[somber falcon]

zuo le works very well there

[prisma urchin]

I need to change my squad a bit

I have only ines as dp reg

[somber falcon]

actually

you have kal

just s3 the entire lane there

[somber falcon]

yeah that clears it easy

[prisma urchin]

S3?

[somber falcon]

ye

true dmg

bypasses mummy's mechanics

[prisma urchin]

Ah you mean with monster?

[somber falcon]

yeah

[glass monolith]

Now I imagine Kal true damage by hand. Thanks

[vocal leaf]

but not mio in cm even tho i was trying to solo that lane with her, so not removing the crystals was the actual problem

[somber falcon]

i mean it should still work
she's just chonkier there

[vocal leaf]

you know it’s funny, the other day i said monster got powercrep by crushers and i saw myself in that stage, gladiia and ulpi are our modern kal and monster

[vocal leaf]

no monster died, it just didn’t work because it took so long to kill mio so it got overwhelmed when more enemies came

[dapper hedge]

Ya I used quartz to tank that side

HP sponge good

[prisma urchin]

I bought extra the premium kaltzit skin, i heard skins boost damage, atleast i learned that in league of legends and valorant

Well even i dont like her, i know that she has a really hard body, when she took us in a hug to climb chernoberg

So no cuddle material, me like more soft cuddle material, i imagine cuddling kaltzit, like cuddling with cold stones >.>"

Why so many people like her smh, me never will understand

[prisma urchin]

Nice thank you for the tip with monster, was going really well

Now i clear the other asses

[weak gazelle]

this one is so stupid
have to tank entire bicycle barrage :icant:

[tidal sedge]

Thought this was #arknights for a second.

[scarlet mortar]

wait what's the issue

[harsh flax]

upper lane overwhelms me with mobs, lower lane big damage

[scarlet mortar]

raise a defender so you can tank the miniboss

top lane is free

bot lane you need to break the crystals, no rush but make sure those get cleaned up

[harsh flax]

should i raise gummy then?

[scarlet mortar]

no gummy sucks as a tank

her res is nice since mio does arts, but then again an E1 gummy might not have the hp anw

[harsh flax]

how about i raise a medic?

[scarlet mortar]

wis can take bot lane, proviso + a guard or two's fine for top ig

[somber falcon]

you didn't raise your ticket 6*?

[harsh flax]

i couldn't decide

[scarlet mortar]

ig gummy's fine to tank a bit, just use wis to burst mio down

the defender's also there to block the other mobs

3 medics is too many tbh

bring gravel or sth instead, adding more medics doesn't usually pay off

if not gravel then some damage to help with top lane

amiya can be at bot

[void terrace]

Is naranyuta s1 worth masterying

Its an amazing opening in is4 but i dont see much use beyond that

Afk sniper perhaps?

Feels like a ranged version of mountain s2

[harsh flax]

it isnt working

[full terrace]

Oh god I tried Narantuya in S-1 (borrowed, mine unraised), she couldnt even kill the Wagon and the Camel.

Maxed out one on top of that.

[scarlet mortar]

wis and amiya are too far back

[harsh flax]

maybe you could do it for me?

[scarlet mortar]

i mean i don't have your account

[harsh flax]

ive tried more than 20 times

[scarlet mortar]

nor those ops at those levels

did gummy die from the cart

[harsh flax]

my 3 stars arent well raised

[scarlet mortar]

that's a lot more crystals than there should be in that spot

[harsh flax]

i can share my acc , can you try a couple of times?

[scarlet mortar]

(account sharing is against tos fyi)

[dapper hedge]

Don't put pinecone there, the suicidal mobs can be silenced too, so they won't drop crystal when they die

[harsh flax]

they leak, and this is just one of the pictures, i've tries various variations and the problem is that cat

my defenders can't hold long, 2 hits and dies

[full terrace]

Severely underleveled there

[full terrace]

You just wanna clear this stage or auto it?

[dapper hedge]

Clear up those crystals

[harsh flax]

i wanted to yaa auto like 6 times

[full terrace]

Ya you want a stable auto you gotta experiment on it yourself. Most of us have 3 Stars maxed out including Trust, we cant really run an accurate simulation for you.

[harsh flax]

yes you are right

[full terrace]

We could give pointers tho, and thats what people have been doing. From the look of this #strategy message I'd say your only firepower is Wisadel (I'm assuming that your Pinecone is E0). Try moving your Lappland to the tile in front of Proviso, and then Beagle above Lappland (two tiles in front of Proviso). Move Ansel one tile to the right of Pinecone and try again.

[smoky halo]

if u can afford to get 1 copy of ethan he is really good at killing crystals

no need to upgrade him too

[nocturne cove]

Zuo le and exalter are so broken in this event

[willow sun]

@small anchor
i think using kroos/marksmen would be better for this stage, there's a lot of drones, do you have krooster?
aoe snipers/casters are helpful i personally used lava + greyy

bringing it here cause i don't want to flood help

[small anchor]

the 3 star?

[willow sun]

krooster is her alter, both are good

[small anchor]

oh right, well yeah I got them then

[willow sun]

gonna put this here so i can refer to it lol

i'd honestly just take thorns out of your team altogether, he's not good until e2

put logos on s1 and wisadel on s2

[small anchor]

Alright

[willow sun]

hm do you have any flagbearer vanguards?

[small anchor]

I do not

[willow sun]

no myrtle or elysium? unfortunate

cantabile and poncirus should be fine though i think

put ptilopsis on s2 as well

[small anchor]

what do I replace thorns for btw

[small anchor]

and alr

[willow sun]

replace thorns for krooster in general and i'd replace specter with kroos for this stage

not sure how great of a help firewatch will be because you want specifically marksmen to take care of the drones

try this

if logos takes too long to charge hsi s1 to be useful, you could try placing him earlier or replacing him with rockrock

maybe replace ptilopsis with ansel though

so you can move wisadel one tile to the left

and place ansel below where ptilopsis currently is

this is the squad i used to clear a long time ago

ansel's healing might not be enough so if either kroos starts to die, i placed gravel (or you could use cantabile) to help tank the drones for a bit

[small anchor]

alright, I'll see how far I can get with it

thanks for everything btw

[willow sun]

npnp

[willow sun]

tried it out for myself and this works fine

order was cantabile > sussuro > logos > ansel > kroos > wisadel > spot > beagle

i dont think the aoe casters will even be necessary, though logos/kroos might die to the drone that spawns later

nevermind logos just shredded the raptor

in this case though you dont need to swap out ptilo, you can just place her one square above where my sussuro was

nice and easy afk clear

[small anchor]

I don't understand the logos placement though

like isnt he out of range of the healing

[willow sun]

he just takes the place of a marksman, and being able to place him earlier allows for his perish to come up faster

[willow sun]

no? he's in range of sussuro's healing

oh wait are your medics e0

e1 gives them a range buff i think

you could just slide the medics to the left/right one square then, though at e0 i'm not sure if they'll be able to heal enough

[small anchor]

Yeah fair enough

well I guess im gonna have to try this once I've farmed enough resources to get e1s on 3 star operators then

which is kinda sad to say tbh considering they are cheap to e1

[willow sun]

it’s fine lol, you could always play some IS if you want resources but have no sanity

also i’d level your base workers immediately after you’re done clearing the stage for whatever reason you need to

they’ll provide you with most of the LMD and EXP that you’ll be using for the rest of the game

[small anchor]

Alright well thanks again, sorry for wasting ya time with this lol

also I haven't done 3-8 so ig I can't do IS

[willow sun]

nah dont worry about it lol, i'd rather help out and have an excuse to play arknights than do linear algebra homework

[willow sun]

you could borrow units until you clear it then if you want, its a great source of early game LMD

and did you buy all of the LMD/EXP from the event shop already? it should've been more than enough to level most if not all of your 3*'s

[vagrant badger]

hey guys im not used to talk here but i need help with the stage 4-7 mutual benefits... its really hard for me and i don't know what i am doing wrong... can someone give me ideas for a squad?

[willow sun]

which ops do you currently have? (screenshot your operators sorted by level or rarity, both would be nice tbh)

[vagrant badger]

wait a sec im on a phone but they are a lot to just send one screenshot so ill send the squad

[willow sun]

phone is fine, just do something like this

[vagrant badger]

Here they are

[willow sun]

mm you have a lot of good 4*'s raised

why mulberry, thrm-ex, and flint though?

[vagrant badger]

because courier and flint are the only ones i have maxed with the ability to block 2 targets and because there are two lines of enemies atacking at the same time it gives me a bit of time

[vagrant badger]

mulberry because of her healing range

[willow sun]

her healing range is good but her healing itself isnt, youre better off bringing a regular healer instead, if you want range bring lumen or something (but he's also kind of mid for how much he costs)

[vagrant badger]

and therm-ex because is cool? nah im jocking in reality to kill faster some of the slugs to open a place for snipers

[willow sun]

do you have a flagbearer? they'll be useful for a dp tight stage like this

[vagrant badger]

isn't her a she?

[vagrant badger]

what class is flagbearer?

[vagrant badger]

vanguard? because i don't have her then

[willow sun]

myrtle/elysium/wanqing/saileach

[willow sun]

?

[vagrant badger]

i have myrtle and only her

[vagrant badger]

i mean isn't mulberry a female?

[willow sun]

yeah

[willow sun]

just myrtle is fine, is she sl7? (skill level 7)

[vagrant badger]

still at 5

[vagrant badger]

now six because i just upgraded her

[willow sun]

that should be fine

[vagrant badger]

i think i can max her let me try

[willow sun]

you should for the future

[vagrant badger]

now i have her maxed i had spare skill summaries to fully convert them

[willow sun]

nice

do you have any healers aside from mulberry? if not its fine, this stage isn't too hard

[vagrant badger]

i replace fang and courier? or or only fang?

[vagrant badger]

i have only 4 fully leveled

at least to elite 1

i still havent upgraded them to elite 2

[willow sun]

which ones? any should be fine, i used ansel for my clear

[willow sun]

you usually wont need either of them if you have myrtle, she's that good at generating dp

[vagrant badger]

i have 2 3 star medics hibiscus and ansel
meanwhile i have 2 5 stars mulberry and ptlopsis

[willow sun]

ptilopsis is a very good healer, use her if you can

put her on s2

[vagrant badger]

ok but the problem is that i have 2 lines of enemies atacking and myrtle only blocks 1 right? 0 if using her skill

[vagrant badger]

s2?

[willow sun]

skill 2

[vagrant badger]

oh i already did that

[willow sun]

and i'd use blue poison's s1, s2 is ok but i find s1 more useful

[vagrant badger]

ok ill try

[willow sun]

do you have gummy?

[vagrant badger]

i gues is ovbious to remove therm ex from the team right?

[willow sun]

if not spot works in her stead

[vagrant badger]

yes but not fully leveled
