It's pretty ass when is2 first release
Same shit with is4 ed2 can just nymph it now
In that context Nymph works on all operators. She can just stall until her partner recharged their skills, it doesnt have to be stricly Ebenholz
Who uses Ebenholz anyway 
I don't I don't have the GOAT 
SSS TIME Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
masochist
I might fall asleep with how long it takes Dossoles Commercial to spawn enemies 
that's why you afk
💪
I beat annis even after falling asleep true story
happened at least twice
And this is why we have 25 invulnerability phases per boss
Just skip it if you already got first clear rewards
FUCK
Don't you need module blocks 😭
I need motivation to start using them 
Okay that's a lot. Maybe I shouldn't mod 3 units like lucilla all the time
And i need to idk. At least module 1 wisadel or something? 
Issue of freedom of choice, because i constantly jumping between units i use i never use some long enough to justify moduling because why would i module something i wont use
432 module blocks?? are you actively avoiding modules on your characters what
~~Hide my Eben with 3 modules. ~~ Yeah, who uses him anyway. 
I counted all my module blocks... 208 used.... Damn game gave quite alot of them over 37 months most of which i brought 4 monthly per red certs
who is good in is5, frankly how to cheese is5
just saw ulpipi "serious side step" lol
If it's just ED1 low diff, Wisadel takes care of most things
I havent played other endings I cant say anything about them
For fuc sake. It doesn't cut the cost 
S1 mastery is questionable but sure
70sp is Insanity now that even M3 don't cut it a little
Why you need s1 anyway
Also m3 only makes her start at 40 so
So you still need to wait a full 30 secs before popping skill
No I'm still considering.
I unexpectedly use Amiya medic a lot on IS5
S2 would be a better use of mats methinks
Is5 uses s2
"Still considering" - Random m1 just there 
s1 is global healing. it heals enmity and has a 50 second duration. it's a cool skill but perfectly good at s7
It’s not at m1 yet tho

or it is m0 to m1 UI, i forgot
If he had m1, it would show m2 mats
I don't mastery too much because each time i try it end with "WHY IT TAKE BIPOLAR AGAIN"
I’m out of devices 
Also yeah
Bipolar is a bitch now as well
I am critically low on grindstones due constant bipolars 
Mf I have 100 grindstones 😭
But man S2 only once per battle.
Is battles are short enough
Plus s2 is mainly for spike deletion
Now that I think about it S1 is technically once per battle too because the damn 70 CD 
That’s the idea behind s2
At least in is
No one’s taking medicmiya s2 to annihilation
Ptilo + Stainless S2 time
Right, but who’s taking stainless to is anyway 
(Looks on my 20 IS3 runs who died as soon as i try)
Damn it took 20 to figure that out 
Well in reality it was 3.5 runs but like you know multiply shit by 5 or 10 and it sound cooler
@pure orchid Yo Eyjaberry S3 is really good in IS5. So many awkward tiles and she covers them just fine
Except like 60 practice plans and 13 death in JT8-3 that shit was real
I pity ur mental state
I preferred Reed over Eyja in IS4, but in IS5 it's Eyja > Reed
No cause high atk ejya2 literally denies necrosis
At least on s1
Seeing 2k heals and 500 after heals is so funny 
I miss Eblana event causally applying 1200 in single hit on EX 
Lol Ulpian went into the Portal 😂
What even is that
@regal frost
Ah it acts as a "Scout" according to wiki
Very interesting
So basically we have kidnapping ice cream trucks as bonus spawn? 
If you use a certain Thought yeah
Fremont gotta be the weakest IS boss so far 
Phase 1 - Wisadel shot, retreat, FRD to remove Wisadel's grave
Phase 2 - Logos and boom boom boom
Bestie youre on what, d2
🥹
Yk he has 90% dr when he has charged attacks
Yah on D2 but Wisadel 2 shot him
DR what? Just bait it
Hell even Wis's Revenant Shadows bait those
Idk man, I feel like Fremont is even weaker than Phantom. The latter was more challenging for me even on low diff.
I'll see what he does on d15
Does Fremont have any notable def/res/dr
Even the Londinium cannon can't see Ines when her S3 is active 
that thing ruined one of my runs on cn lol
😂
I’m about to crash out I can’t 3 star this 😦
Crownslayer?
Stack 2 ground units in one lane
When she dash on the first one, she will be blocked by the second
Nuke her when she is blocked by your 2nd ground unit
Also why did you not E2 your Lappland
@pure orchid Eyja shines so brightly in this stage.
@regal frost does this remind you of Manmade Carnival? 😂
yes and I hate it
did you get the map with multiple assassins yet?
Check Kyostinv if that's work
@regal frost Fremont is poorly designed in my opinion, what do you think? Even Phantom has the Dodge and Nervous Impairment thingies. This is only d5 but I mean.. even at higher diff with double or triple amount of HP, the base strat doesnt change.
damn didnt see how the boss is done outside a few poor early runs of it from CN. i thought the boss would be more difficult 
lowkey even with welfares the stage is very easy and you dont need an insane run for it. scene is a failsafe. you just kinda kill the boss and enemies and you're all good
i kinda play it really safe with scene but also like the boss just kinda isnt scary
i thought he was a f3 boss before playing is5 for myself
It's flawed, it's a design flaw imo. IS3 jellyfish got the super big range that massively reduces your operators' aspd, we had to outrange it back in the days. IS4 got ICI cant even compare. IS2 Phantom got big dodge, and if you wanna remove his dodge you have to block him, and if you block him he dash at you. Not to mention we had to take his Nervous Impairment like a champ back then, it was challenging.
Fremont, well..
@wicked minnow who do you usually pick for your welfare is5 runs
by the end i got my whole roster
for starter it's puzzle krooster and tin man 
puzzle is actually not bad
for fermont, important things are scene and 2 damage dealers just in case and general survivability
for Theresis just get a better run lmao. tinman can mostly solo the stage. gladiia to seperate the two siblings. and just deal damage to theresis
havent done patriot yet
do you have the whole squad e2/mod outside of IS
ye
i aim for e2 mod3 m3 on all my units
i am missing for some but that usually doesnt matter
ight
well ed1 is always meant to be the easiest
so I'm fine with it
Ah well I suppose it's newbie friendly
it's an easy boss but i think the mechanics are pretty difficult if you just started
the thing is if a new player relies too heavily on wis, the boss can cast displace when he does he switches phases and now your main dps is looking at the sunset or smthn
they'd have to like watch a guide or something and they are allergic to that as we all know
@civic bear hello if an enemy has 5s atk interval does that mean the first attack the enemy does is 5s after it spawns
assuming valid target in range starting when it spawns
No
Their startup anim is how long it takes
Diff each enemies
5s is the gap between atk 1 and 2
mf what is this... i just yato s3 and those things disappear 
Your lame Yato killing em one by one with no style 😏
Jk I just wanna rub it in you coz you are Eyjaless
I mean arent you doing the same 🥱
Heh i dont mind as much as you think since
I DONT RUN MEDICS
I just wanna look at her really
I got style, diff level yoww
The only style ill accept is gg soloing all 4 of them
Show me
Ew laammeeee

Prob not lapp gg
Wha
Thats global though
Oh swearing in chat! So uncivil.
Moderator! Someone is being edgy, antagonistic, and uncivil. Very aggressive.
They’re beri beri unique individuals.
Tru i can barely get my wis e2 without sniper-medic
🤣
I have been abusing the Plans yknow
If you kill the tower thingy in any stage
You get Plans
And if you combine 2 Plans together, you get +3 Hope
Easy draft
You could also reroll everything into emer with talons
Free relics
Relics give me dopamine 
Nah you can reroll without
Not efficient
Its less efficient than just using it for hope?
Strange thing to say when we have free 4-stars
I find the hope economy fine somehow
is3 was probably the worst in that
My 4 Stars are at E1 max, not E2 zzz
Also I'm not gonna torture myself with 4 Stars on high diff later
No thank you
Boooo what happened to style points
HAHAHAHA YOU SHOW ME FIRST
Ill pass on that lmao
Wait well
This is the only style i can provide
Gladiaa e1 btw
I had -2 weight relic and -2 weight inspirer
The plan was to have gladiaa pull and mudrock tank
Well... lets just say mudrock got relegated to just looking pretty
@full terrace alright bozo the first battle gave me sniper ticket
Style points -1000
which one
IS5, the Sarkaz one
get fractured mind and get kings relic from encounter. also stack up shields
they do
ela mines also count as summons
The starting sp is better tho
I keep getting to a boss and losing, is that the usual for IS?
no
unless ur account sucks ig
when u lose u make a note on what caused you to lose
then next run u adapt and change ur strat
start by breaking down the stage into different components, then have a solution ready for each part
Just bust the nut of the boss with King's relic powered Wis
unless this is your first run
Need tips
Wis where
The best you can really do is dump bodies until they die
Try doing it first, who knows maybe you would actually win
I managed to actually beat a run
@pure orchid Woh I love this stage, so satisfying
Ohhh so thats how that stage plays out...
I just rolled it away with doodle 
Btw wis usage -1000
Opening Logos's domain expansion in Aerial Assault is fuunnn
Wisadel tile in Wrecked Academy 🤤
I got this map as my boss on IS5. Do Anyone have any suggestions on operator placement? Its the first time I've gotten it, would be nice to have a chance to beat it.
Myrtle, Ling E2 S3, Gummy E2 S1, Nearl E2 S1, Kaltsit E2 S3, Ascalon E2 S2, Rosmontis E2 S3, W E2 S3. Indigo E2 S2
Oof I havent tried 2nd ending yet. Currently grinding the difficulty level, Prospective Investment, and the skill tree.
what is nymphs best skill for new IS or IS in general?
S2
I wanna help but I cant at the moment, if nobody gives you answer in this channel, maybe try #is-station
I'll keep it paused till I get some hints at least, don't wanna fudge it. I'm not that good of a doctor after all :3
Let wis asca ros kill everything in the middle
When theresis goes p2, have kal use s3
Theresis has higher dr the closer he is to his sister, so the normal way to go about it is using a shifter to move him away
You dont have a shifter, so the next best thing is true damage to bypass the dr
Summons is quite significantly buffed, and I have significant HP regen.
Too bad cant share the buff list from within fight, but still
Idk what to do with that information
Me neither 😄
Use your ling for trash i guess
Everything is solved except for the clones at the sides of the map
So W on bottom center facing up?
hold up
This should solve everything, i think
Handles clones on side of map, and everything funnels into left so wis/asca can clean them up
I dont remember if theresis can hit ops on ranged tiles so be careful on rosmo
Ty, I'll try it. Only those 3 characters? Place the rest as needed?
actaully maybe move wisadel 1 tile higher
Yup
The only things left to place are defender near the blue box, ling summons, and kaltsit for theresis p2
and healers duh
nvm no healers but yeah
I'm assuming I place Monster where Theresis happens to be upon P2
Okay, here goes nothing. Ty for suggestions!
Good luck 
Isn't it a waste of resources to upgrade skill levels for Tinman? He seems mediocre in combat
His heal is decent
You can just skip building him altogether though, he's mostly just for thoughts
I haven't built him and i've already done all 3 endings
Do you have any thoughts on placement order? I'm assuming Rosmontis -> W -> Ascalon -> Rest
DP gen is quite slow
uhh, myrtle?
There should be at least 1 safe tile for her
bottom right
You should probably wait for the first clone swing before deploying ros
W is fine whenever since she's camoed
Asca not sure but you can probably just place gummy beside her
Save nearl for the blue box
Yep there is
does not have eya white
I dont need eyja 💅
One of the few ops I do not have
i already cleared all 3 ed bozo
I used first class squad but didnt take 5-star
😏
My ascalon insta-died from the waves....
RIP 
Shouldve killed the wave guys first
(only placed myrtle and asca this far)
But all the placements suggested is in the path of the wave guys attacks... I dont have very much else in DPS....
If I place W, she'll just die as well
Wis is camoed
Literally cant die
The only real problem is if ros can kill wave guys before they kill her
I just placed her, she died
Wave
There is no camo tiles tho....
Wis gives herself camo when next to at least one of her own crystals
Did not happen 😛
what
Thats invi not camo, might work differently
might just be jank, who knows
better to test than ask if it's aoe
Failed :3
She died before she got it up, also necrosis would have stopped it anyway
She is M3
Oh well, thats that. Will likely be ages till I get to try it again 😛
the explosion is same as izumik phase 1 to my knowledge, so ignores camo
That Spiky thing on the ground to the right of your Wisadel continuously applies Necrosis Damage in its surrounding 8 tiles.
Your Wisadel died to Necrosis?
oh wow that sucks
She did not die to necrosis 😛
Oh ya I did not play the video
left sword guy killed the summon before right sword wave arrived
Her Rev Shadow got butchered
when right sword wave arrived she was not camo
In hindsight indigo/ling wouldve been able to clear that crystal first
My un-upgraded summons did survive the waves, (half hp remaining) however, the "normal" enemies unsummons them right away, so useless
safely from a tile bottom left
Also it seems like u didnt deploy rosmo
that let right side get out of control
I did not have enough time to get her out 😛
I was waiting for the clone swap, which I did not know how it looked, but was too focused on the left side.
Ros would have died from the waves too, 100%
She wouldnt lol
Shed kill the guys first before they could summon a wave
that is if you time her deployment right
If you put her down right before they cast a wave, she dies for sure
I'm 99% sure she would not have been able to kill enough to survive the next wave cast
They reach across the whole map, and insta kills after all
That ending seems fun
Wis kills left, ros kills right
Even if they reach across the whole map
theyd all be dead by then
The clones are paper from my experience
Dunno, I think they casted the waves too quickly, even if I got W down right after a wave, she'd not get her skill up in time for next wave and die
She definitely wont since theres a necrosis crystal
Need to clear that out with some arts dmg first
Non the less. Next time likely wont have the same squad. Likely similar, but still
W too good not to go for
This is what my clear looked like 
I could afford to have wis there since i have yato to clean up clones on the sides
I'm waiting til I unlock d15 first before I do other endings
But that ending seems fun
The clones started replicating way too fast for me tho... By the time I got ascalon down, (2nd chara) there was already 2 of them on the left side
Was Gladia at E1? Also any weight relics?
Her job is just to handle mobs, which dont come in until later
e1 gladiaa, -2 from inspirer, -2 from relics
theresis base weight is 5 for reference
Still, as I said, I'm not a good doctor 😛
Luckyy
No one starts as a good doctor
It really just comes from practice
esp. in IS where the only way to learn is mostly fafo
wrong it comes from lucksaccing
Shut up im having my vet moment
-me rerolling stages bc my phantom isn't E2
I would have never done IS was it not for the Mudrock Skin that will come 😄
enemyknights got the most massive boost to IS gaming and it's not even a new op
Yeah i was so surprised when Cannot just kept giving me stuff
it's fucking phantom Amod
Sadly im not is nerd so ill never get is mods
Cannot? Whats/whos that?
the shop guy
Hypergryph added too many polygon into IS5 stages, shit is even more lag than RA
Ty for the help tho, I'll keep it in mind when ™️ I finally decide to go there again
maybe its because that furnace in the background
after so many failure 
Well yeah, the stages design look more pretty but that came at the cost of performance
that devourer too many i had to deffense
Lone trail hit that spot between look cool and not lag
yeah i love the mechanic of that ball
Unless you use Manticore and die laughing from her spikes float in void 
Virtuosa event design lag a bit
Fedex event lag more
But not lag
Framerate dropped
About to do is5 2nd ending.. which one of these would benefit most?
Camo does not work on the blades. If given the option always use the other one.
whos the reed alter of is5?
I try and grab Yato to keep them off the field
Wis
Yahallo Arfl
Thats some amazing visual glitch
Apparently thats a Paradox 🤣
Tried my first IS5. Wiped on floor 3 boss.... Were enemies nerfed this much to their chapter/event appearance in past IS?
RIP
Idk I cant really feel the strength difference. It's either because of the 4 Stars start instead of 3 Stars or because modern ops are just that broken.
Maybe schizo caught to me, but IS5 d0 floor 2 chapter 10 slimes had like 33% hp they have in chapter 10
Also insta promote 5 star squad sounds fun... As long as game don't give me 5 defender vouchers in row
just do a defender only run smh
Apparently Tin man can throw his Alchemy unit outside the arena as long as it's in two tiles forward 
Look at my necrosis bar.
And then #help telling me that Ejyalt is not priority pick.
Fucking insane
Stage just RA but less interesting
As if RA isn't worst shit ever 
maybe
Ofc she isnt
Shes the 2nd best medic pick

Who first then?
Kal with her IS mod
Isnane
Bruh.. does Patriot Sankta deal global art or physical. Might take Nightingale
I won 
There were several runs where I had to pick between drafting Eyja and Logos
I always pick Eyja first
Necrosis is massively annoying
Its the SP drain that annoys me to hell
Going into Necrosis burst is like wasting an entire skill cycle
What's like a good squad setup for me, mainly for story rn (need some catching up to do)
which of tin mans skills should I M3? i have that skill training pack they gave for free
s2 is his main skill
Would use it on someone else
But if u want him, then s2
I mean there is no one else
like every 5 star I want built is built
i wanna use him in new IS
Not much of a "good setup" can be done with this, you have barely anything built. My suggestion is for you to draft Lappland and keep borrowing Wisadel as Support Unit to unlock stuff first. Generally for an all-purpose squad you want: 2 Vanguards, 3~4 Guards/Defenders, 3~4 Snipers/Casters, 2 Medics, and an FRD, then you adjust to taste from there.
yeah ik they're not built, just like which ones to use for like those roles
Just play first, you barely started playing there. Use Wisadel to clear Main Stories and Side Stories, then use your Originite Prime to pull on the current JO or something, get more 4 Stars and start from there. If you get a 6 Star or two, draft them. If I tell you to build A unit and B unit, and then by tomorrow you unlock better units after pulling, this is a waste of resources. Also even if you build an all-purpose squad, it cant really be used on all stages, you must adapt as you go.
Really, just play first.
If this is your first time playing the game, start with a squad of 2 and 3 Stars plus Lappland. Raising 3 Stars will never go wrong because you will also be using them on ISes to get more resources.
You can delay your 4 and 5 Stars for now, wait and see if you get a better 6 Star version of them.
This is my alt account #strategy message and it has cleared most contents. As you can see I didnt raise anything except for the 6 Stars. Ofcourse this is an extreme example and I'm not recommending you to do this, but the idea is to not unnecessarily waste your resources on units that you will bench in the future especially on early game. You want to make good use of the little resources you have and build a solid base first, then you can raise lower priority units for IS5 and stuff.
where can i find annilation clears? want inspiration for my own clears
cool, just wanted discord clears too but ok
Discord is user database which return YouTube/bilibili link on your query
Also 15min annihilation will be like 48p video to fit discord limit unless you care for random screenshots of field state
I know you asked for discord but I'm not running any ads on the channel so I hope it still helps
Ur good, still a discord users vids
Holy shit wtf am I watching
max potential e2 I suppose? First video is crazy
Yo @narrow pendant


@teal moon we famous
I cant believe i know all 3 of these 
In my olden days, i got on a yii video 
Well dohh you are an active member of the community 🤣
Youre my husband, u should know me at least
I mean duh
Its funny though
Its like seeing people on TV and personally knowing all of them
I can say HEY ISNT THAT 3 fucking times
I wonder if hes here himself, or if he has some simps that snitch
😂 😂
You're fine at E2 50-60 and no potentials and you obviously can add more units too. I'm using only 5*, so you can most likely just replace each with a six star of the same archetype
oh i found it, it's this video

So theres not really much reason for me to be any less serious

Now theres a whole microcosm here full of interconnected lore
did i form a meaningful connection in this ak generation? 

I cant be bothered okay
And that is doxxing me
Mods, ban this user
If it was any other help chat members, they wouldn't add a jk in the end 
u dont have to tell me 
🤣
Cringier than me 
Be glad
Dont be mad, I'm just kidding
Dont worry I agree with your take. Waifu > Meta
You pull for Waifus and cant beat a stage = skill issue
What if my waifu is the 1 star robot 
Skill issue squared
Or u-official 
@pure orchid Supah's take aside tho, I think Nymph is a well designed unit
I tried her in IS5 and maannn
She is a good partner to Logos
1 Fear shot she immediately sends the target she hits into Necrosis Burst
At least nymph is not blaze alter 
And thats a big boost to Logos's dps
I havent tried Blaze alter I dont wanna comment on it 😂
The only value nymph has is that fear mechanic and Perma stall. Literally the only thing that keeps her from not being trash methinks
S2 is mid and no utility to even be a standalone other than burn proc and her S3 is nymph S3 but with some slight tweaks and not 100% EM damage
From the looks of it yeah, that sounds about right
But I still dont wanna comment on it until I tried it myself
Yawn 🥱 just get cn acc and borrow blazealter
hi, how do I not die and finally win my first IS match?
yes I was very very unfortunate in not getting Reed E2
Start with Logos and Shu, position Shu in a way that allows her to auto-bait Fremont's charged attacks. When Fremont is in Logos range, activate his S3. Throw Texas for the RES shred as well while Shu is onskill, that way Texas can deal a bit of damage, and then when you retreat her, Logos S3 will insta remove her grave.
Retreat everyone when Fremont switches over to Phase 2.
Use Texas to remove Logos's grave and deploy Nymph in Logos tile.
Then deploy everyone
Make sure you always have someone to auto-bait Fremont's charged attacks, this will remove his DR.
where do I place in particular?

Something like this #strategy message
Place Logos in that tile even on Phase 1
Dont be a daredevil and place him on Wis tile
Wis is safe because she is Wis
Logos will die in 0.1 sec
ok then
wait what DR?
ah damage reduction?
ah damn it balls
even against true damage?
I think True Damage bypasses that
cause I can probably just do S3 Nymph
kk wishe me luck
I messed up
did you retreat ur ops? retreating ur ops gives them the grave effect
they died instead
ok but doesnt mean u can lose this stage easily
bait his attacks with texalter right there!!!!
I was very very low on DP
texalter literally useless in here cuz of the boss mechanic so use her as a bait instead
u had degen, logos, nymph, reedic
a good placement of these ops and they will do ur job for u
yeah i kinda messed up the retreatment of logos, which I forgot to tell
well Ill do it again
??? even without ines/myrtle/any dp generator, it is still possible if you just think enough for their placement
for my strategy, id put reedic near the blue box facing left, use her s3 and watch as the fireworks boom. and use logos on the singular tile near the blue box and use his s3 to damage the boxx. even if it doesnt kill right away, ill use nymph s2 on the bottom to stall the boss until he dies.
ok makes sense
What's the strat for the Pledge of Babel ending of IS5?
ED2? just use kaltsit/nymph + virt/logos
I was aiming to unlock the medic sniper buff so I was running all medic/snipers
then kaltsit it is
I'm right before a safe house with an unprompted Typhon with a sniper voucher
And W2 is already promoted
just make sure wisadel deals with the clones and defend the hordes of enemies while kaltsit kills theresis
you should promote ray. typhon is really mid in IS5 
I deadass forgot if I ever E2d Ray
Oh ok I did no module tho
I have E2 Kalasit but I don't always use her I'll keep that in mind I got EyjaAlter instead as my healer
kaltsit is like the only healer u need with her IS mod 
I have the relic for the different ending but is it one of those endings you need multiple stuff to happen cause the final stage looks identical to Ending 1
Not all endings take place on floor 5 and you still have to fight floor 5 boss for them
Without more context i can't say if you on route to floor 6 ending or missing some condition
Or so it is like IS4 ending 2 which i don't know becuase i quit IS4 
I also thought going to shop from the top or bottom would cost 1 plan but it was 2 I have like 64 Ingots 
Ok so Kaltsit is promoted at least
I avoided such situation because my greed tried to travel vertical on floor 1 
How to deal with boss 2nd phase swapping mechanic ?
yawn
retreat during phase transition
or use ulpi
if u have the relic thingy where you can undeploy the op real fast, then u can ignore it. or better yet just put as minimal ops as possible so you have more ops to kill the boss and enemies 
Ok no one told me the clones did THAT
did what? the schwing thingy?
they only schwing on left and right direction while middle is up. literally easy to avoid
blindspots
also do yourself a favor and go look up how the boss works because you'll probably end up being nuked by arts otherwise
or just try it out and pray lmao
unless you took too long that the clones appear everywhere
Too late lol
Yea I didn't realize how the middle clones worked
i put walter left and kaltsit right
facing up
this stage is too easy with kaltsit/ nymph + virtuosa or logos 🥱
or kill some of the middle clones and setup a killbox in the bottom left with shu
Yea I got it for next time it is pretty easy if you know how the shwing works
I kinda panicked
the main thing is just making sure theresa doesnt explode all of your units
The woman right is she defeatable or is it just the guy
just the guy, he gives her sp
the only problem with this stage i find difficult is the damn necrosis 
but other than that its easy
Just like with the old man his gimmick got me by surprise but never again
just watch YT guides before going in the stage 
just make sure you either have a way of shifting theresis or going through damage reduction
What's the best way to do that
shu s3 
shu s3/stacking shift force/nymph + virt/kalt
I only got Kalt
good enough with alpha mod
Yeah I didnt follow it but it was easy, I just fumbled the first time
lmao my ops weak af
@pure orchid No Eyjaberry run, did you curse me because I keep making fun of you 😭
No Vanguard voucher is more cursed 😭
Bro the run I just did gave me no Medic and Defender vouchers, but I got thousands of Vanguard vouchers
I blame Qyurii for this
Which Starting squad are you using often btw?
Spearhead
I'm at d10 now, starting from d9 I got a bonus from skill tree
For using Spearhead
Spearhead is really good for damage, thing is, you need to do Perfect Clears all the way to boss fight
Without shields that can be risky, but with shields it's not
How useful is this in practice?
not very unless you're doing a 0 op clear
you could spend 16 ingots on a better relic that prevents anything from going in the box anyway
Also I always try to grab the Talon for the +20% atk, and that relic allows you to spend 1 Plan for an Emergency Op on a useless node, it's really good
Plus it gives that Ripper relic at certain Encounter.
Also if you get that Encounter that gives King relics, you get a full set right away coz Spearhead starts with 1 Life Point.
are they tryhard metaing or just having fun
Quag? I think he is a hardcore player, I remember he was asking about d15 IS4
Yep I was thinking of that too, getting the Talon and start using Blueprint squad. Will try the other squads after reaching D15.
Blueprint seems to be meta squad for CN players yea
I havent really tried it yet
I'm playing for real once I unlock d15
Yeah that's the way to go since clearing the other endings at max difficulty gives the real satisfaction
blueprint just lets you reroll every node into an emergency so you pull up to boss with like 20 operators and 70 relics
to get to d15 fast it also lets you reroll every node into an encounter so you just wallop fremont with wisadel + king relics and get 15-20 min runs
Also real boss of ED1 is the Golems, not Fremont
Very interesting
But then again I'm also unlocking skill tree on the way, I'm not in rush
Holy City?
Nvm, got it.
Should probably use Gravel next time when i get to the higher difficulties..
I wonder if this is enough
That's.. overkill 😆
crazy
Why i am not surprized hacked account number 294821 is mutual HYV server with me
Dude I was able
To brute force it just fine and I had no FRD. You got this
Free 50 bucks

I honestly have no idea what's the boss mechanics is or what mobs there are
All i know is that Theresis with Theresa is bad so push
Basically yolo
Yeah
Phase
2
In particular
You wanna try to yank Theresis towards you since he won’t move and the male
Wide pulse waves hit harder and harder the longer it goes
Yato2 will make dealing with the Theresis clones on the side a breeze with S3

But he can be brute forced
With enough relics
Necrosis doesn’t give a damn but his damage reduction I believe
And you have Kal for
True damage
Who should I go to e2 first? Logos or goldenglow?
Yee kinda just brute forced it with Kal lol
I was planning to weedy him, but it didn't work so well as i thought it would

Logos and mod3
Why logos?
smh u cursed yourself bozo
The wicked get what cometh
He’s better
200
Yup dk that
Then I went to rob Cannot LOL
Man do u even need to rob cannot when u get 150 ingots from a singular drop anyways
Atp its just for the combat drop rather than the shop
Actually it was not a single chest
When you rob Cannot, the stage spawns thousands of chests
Then Wisadel blast them all to pieces
Thats how I got +200 😂
@pure orchid Blueprint Squad is really fun bro.. 65 relics! Emergency from floor 1 all the way to boss node.
Sadly all fun things come to an end. I'm gonna miss this run.
Yeah..
what node do you look for normally 
Using Blueprint Squad, you get one free Refresh without consuming Plans. Grab Talons of Hatred at Floor 1 and most of your refreshes (like 90% of them) will be Emergency Nodes. Clearing an Emergency Node guarantee a relic drop.
thank you chatter
You are welcome
I legit don't get how I'm supposed to beat Theresis Phase 2
He has more DR the closer he is to theresa
So you drag him away with shu or shifter
I see people say 'pull him' but then I see people say you can't with like, Hook, so??
you see the two force shift sigil on the bottom
You need force buff
either you apply weightless, buff shift force or use multiple shifter in tandem
ok, so I need a levelled hook or gladia? and then hope for the items? I don't have Shu
or time shu s3 so he cant tp back to theresa
Yeah you need puller then
There is one another tactic called using elemental/true damage
there is also lingerer that boost shift force
I guess I can try leveling my Gladia then
I was trying with my Mod Kal'tsit but she just dies after a while
From the devourer?
yeah it just seemed like I couldn't do enough damage to him after a while and she just died
Also can Swire move him?
build cliffheart instead i guess if the goal is ed2
cause s2 deal true dmg :ya:
help to kill theresis faster
do I need E2?
yeap, +force pull are at mastery 3
alrighty. I have some of those free promote letters so I'll use it on Cliffheart and Rope I guess
First time Patriot Sankta.
Alright.. So you really.. really shouldn't let him near your ops right 
Everyone just fking died for no visible reason
And I deal absolutely no damage to phase 2
Maybe Ceob + Art comp is necessary
And I have to deal with the flying thingy crashing on Patriot device to prevent shit ton global damage per crash, while having tough time with Patriot himself.
This battle is actually insane
raw footage of my first time too
absolutely obliterated
they kicked logos out of the game aswell its just 7 op for now
True.. Its really hard especially when he goes
AMNE
ZALIMNE
HAVALOG
GALINNE
🔥🔥🔥
Which boss?
Theresa and Theresis
Was it your first time
2nd attempt
You need to use either Shift/pull strat or dps his phase 2 with Monster (true damage)
So that’s why Walter and Ling didn’t do shit to him
Yeah he's 90℅ DR when they're together in phase 2
Well that’s some solace to me, I was loosing my mind as to why he was so damn Tanky
Use other DPS units than Ling, Virtuosa and Thorns btw
Oops yep.
And I just kept getting Supporter as my Requirements, that’s why I had Skalter as well.
Recruitments
Supporter voucher is pretty useless, maybe except Suzu
How much force do you need for ed2 boss? Is a puller + shift tile enough?
Theresis is 5 weight
So need to match the pull force
Need like gladia with pull mod+pull tile
Do true damage and elem damage bypass his DR?
Ye
gladiia is like the only hookmaster that can really pull the boss and she needs mod y, pull tile, and m3. from my knowledge on pulling, you dont need to match his weight, just 1 under is enough to actually push or pull
Im not sure how much the force increase tile actually increases force
i've heard people say by +2 but i think +1 would make more sense
Also just use shu or true damage. way easier way of dealing with the stage from what i've heard
2 difference will only make slight nudge
net pull force of -2 is 0.03 tile shift
are og W mines supposed to reveal invisible reefbreakers while theyre on nethersea brand
they kinda pause, go visible, then w bomb exploded

It is the hand buff from device
+1 block
Mines have +1 block rn
Doro mines will be destroyed but W mines wont. Potato mines have a bigger proximity range
that's actually wild. whover coded this needs to get fired 😭
It is a feature 
wait are you able to blockshift enemies into the mines?
You can't place the mine with the enemies on it.
oh right, damn
Sultivera navis is wild
W's mines can be (and are) placed onto enemies
but those things explode pretty quickly once sth enters their range
doro mines yh no, can't blockshift with those
but there's other stuff like silence's drones and shamare's dolls
I felt like I abused this +1 block in another way but I can't remember what it is.. 
the little handy does actually block the enemy for the single frame it spawns, but that isn't enough for any blockshifting to take place
it only reveals reefs for a half-second when used that way
Bet some CN player have a crazy clear that utilizes that tiny mechanic
This reminds me of abusing the boss path finder and making it stuck 
Virtousa
Okay
Ah fuck damage reduction also fuck with elemental bar build up
this is what happens when you go into almost any IS boss blind
is4 ed2 where if you dont know the stage mechanic, the boss just runs through your entire defense
IS bosses are always that bad 
lol my humus goes funny with reaper hand and aspd
I was bamboozled when Fremont teleported my OPs randomly, thankfully I still won 
i had tinman and gladiia almost duo the stage
yeah that happened to me too, but my saria was a champ and held the lane all by herself
Lore accurate Saria
you can use shu s3 to keep theresis from teleporting when he goes to phase 2
Going back to IS3 will be fun. 
More suffering yay
I don't have shu 😔
why are you not collecting the suis
i was not there when shu came out
Use other OPs obv.
Invent a time machind
just like get luckier and get a better run also you could use true damage or pull/push ops but they are a bit finnicky since like only 2 of them work unless you have +force
never been lucky a day in my life
Hey. You been born... As human... On Earth... Relatable
great feature 
Just pulled Qiubai from Joint Operation and heard she's now considered way better than she was on debut, what's the best way to build and use her?
It's kind of funny how badly Ulpianus cheeses Fremont between being able to dodge his shots and teleport with the S3 skill activation/disable.
Ah perfect timing then! According to a YouTube comment a good strategy is with Logos and Suzuran as one of the highest DPS combos in the game
Any 5* Supporters worth upgrading for IS5? seems to be my most useless class when it comes up for a pick.
(Throws Quercus at content)
Because of her healing?
Play carefully, you wont
But I only have 4 life point, how can it take 5?
Eh.. it also depends on your 6 Stars mainly
I believe it becomes 1
ic
Lance and Crown
Very nice
who shud I e2 immediately? (4 star)
I'm struggling with getting a clear that allows me to autodeploy
I actually haven't tried to clear without a support
Level up your characters more
Also caper can reach the drones across the map so get her too
Unless I'm mistaking this map for another one
That's why I'm trying to farm this, but do I just farm the previous one instead?
Is there a guide to help with that?
And /base at #bot-spam
U technically has better use for the sanity. For example pushing story at this moment, up to atleast 3-8 to unlock useful stuff. Or farming carbon brick if they open to rush base
Making stable passive income really good in long term. Since newb has a lot good freebies too now
Thanks
amiyi and ce kill their uncle 
I'm on my way to Patriot now, d14 currently
Eh.. maybe Theresis first
I feel like Nymph+Asca gonna smash Patriot stage

I don't draft Nymph yet
Wanna see how much dmg he do first and see if Ulpian can tank
Scuffed as fuck run
I didn't know there's that much portal shit there
I got Flourishing Suffering at Floor 1 and Floor 2 😒
Luckily I got both Wis and Eyja upgraded smh
Just buy chips sir
No money sir
only 10k
So true
You can probably get more out of selling brain cells
That's what they really lack
I feel like atp i should just sell my stem cells 
Why stop at brain cells
Sell my EVERYTHING
become slave

How will i extract stem cells if slave
I wonder how much human rights will sell for
bruh i can imagine "Human rights" for sale on amazon 😭

I just brute force it with Kalsit
or get a hooker with M3 on their strongest pull skill and bunch of relic and a lingerer that buff shift force or give weightless to enemies and yank him away from theresa
there is also a sigil tiles right below them that buff shift force further
so his damage reduction would be lowered
i see



maybe i should've asked
