Ten Rings Encounter is rarer than my steak. I found mine at F5 after thousands of Doodle rush

[full terrace]

Yo I unlocked all Collectibles

Only Flourishing Paradox left, I need to find that Shifting City Encounter

[topaz nymph]

Is there like any way to invest on Balance System really fast?

In IS5 at least.

[full terrace]

Blueprint Squad > Doodle

Go to F1 Rogue Trader, invest, reset

Rinse and repeat

[glass monolith]

Invest 1, it breaks, you quit IS

[topaz nymph]

Oh so Investment Systems comes in randomly?

I thought there's a fixed limit.

[full terrace]

Did you know, while investing, I try to go for F5 to look for the Shifting City Encounter

Then I left when I didnt find it

In the next run

I got the "Masterless" thingy

Got bunch of Plans from my previous Doodle rush

[glass monolith]

Anyway gonna go before tomorrow

[pearl breach]

Wrong channel, sry..

[nocturne cove]

Do you have link for this clear

[foggy grove]

Thanks

[full terrace]

I finally got my Flourishing Paradox 😲

Shifting City at Floor 4

For some reason Shifting City lets you enter another Floor 4, and then when you exit it you jump to Floor 5 right away

[glass monolith]

Floor 4 - Walks in - Walks out - Floor 5
Door behind closes

[severe venture]

what kind of **** is this

[glass monolith]

Wait when you see ending 4

[tired eagle]

[full terrace]

More like what kind of positioning is this.

Also where is your Vanguard

Quest for Consensus is all about AoE damage, make good use of your Wisadel and Ascalon #strategy message

[dapper hedge]

Uh, no, lol CC is very mechanic specifics

[mighty tangle]

which one should i pick...

[full terrace]

If this is Floor 1-2-3 (and maybe 4), pick Four-Leaf Clover Fossil

If this is Floor 5-6, pick Witchcraft Terminal and make sure you use any Inspirer before a tough battle

[full terrace]

Man I lost 4 Patriot runs today trying to greed the Plans

Ended up not triggering the ending

Big lesson learned. Save 3 Plans by the end of F4 😑

And convert all Shrivels to make space for Patriot Relic

[marsh sapphire]

That extra guard seems overkill

[full terrace]

Bro that message is older than my dead grandma

[sterile drum]

im floor 2 should i pick one of these or la pluma

[full terrace]

Ah man.. I'm not a fan of Guards in IS.

[sterile drum]

there is also blaze

[full terrace]

But I would say no Degen is better

Coz Degen doesnt benefit off the aspd Relics

There is a lot of stages requiring AoE damage so maybe SilverAsh?

[sterile drum]

i have mod for silverash when i promote him so ill pick him then

[hazy sinew]

why not? ATK animation too long?

[full terrace]

Degen S3 slashes for 10 hits. You speed that up, she still does 10 hits just faster - that is no dps increase unless you meant her Offensive Recovery S1/S2. This is not the case for Guards like Mlynar and Surtr since their dps is hit-based, the more aspd they have, the more they hit = higher dps.

[hazy sinew]

offskill dps increase trust

[full terrace]

😏

[hazy sinew]

atkspd+ spinach means more boosted hits

[full terrace]

Thats also true for Mlynar under hyper aspd

In fact it's for everyone who can do multiple hits in 1 sec

[hazy sinew]

including degen

so degen is broken

[full terrace]

😏

Look at my Degen 🥴

I raised Ulpi but not her lol

[trim saffron]

pick la pluma because funni

bit late to say that now tbh

[maiden hound]

imagine thinking the most boring, meta option for 5* dps is "funi"

[glass monolith]

Funny is throw kazemaru at my troubles

[stable beacon]

any tips to kill this stinky boss

[worldly stirrup]

do you have any problem with this enemy?

maybe just use arts damage

[stable beacon]

Any way to cleanse his debuff?

[worldly stirrup]

debuff? what debuff?

[stable beacon]

He make my operator can't atk

[worldly stirrup]

it only affect highest atk op

[stable beacon]

He restrict 4 of my ops

[worldly stirrup]

wait, is this sss?

[stable beacon]

Yeah

[worldly stirrup]

maybe try using degen s3, because she is invulnerable during skill

[maiden hound]

wisadel s3 5sniper stack

[worldly stirrup]

oh yeah, wisadel also got camouflage

[stable beacon]

I don't have them

[worldly stirrup]

golden glow?

[tired eagle]

Borrow

[worldly stirrup]

i think golden glow can still atk even if she affected by debuff

[stable beacon]

I already at stage 6 if borrowing I need to repeat from 1

[tired eagle]

I think my surtr solo it last time i played that stage i just play the other sss now

[worldly stirrup]

what your squad look like?

[glass monolith]

Give me tip at NOT killing this boss, I can't unlock DL24 enemy in my enemy archives

[rich plover]

Need help with 7-18, where and when do I place the mines and where do I place my ops?

[vocal leaf]

how people will tell you where to place your ops when they don’t know what ops are those

[glass monolith]

His ops is 15 mines

[tired eagle]

[rich plover]

Hold on a sec

Lemme bring up my team comp

@glass monolith

[glass monolith]

S3 Amiya to slap phase 1. Avoid blocking phase 1. I would probably deploy Ascalon on safe from altar tile on right or in some way she deals as much damage as possible to claw dudes going "top" route to blue box. Caster 12F talent is cheese way to bait boss phase 2 skill (target further ranged tile target which bypass all taunts etc). Phase 2 won't erase you on block, and you might just Amiya s3 it again or whatever, he gains AoE aura and range to his attack so be careful on setting up.

[rich plover]

Got it

Where should I put 12F tho? top left?

[glass monolith]

Based on Patriot position and only when phase 2

[rich plover]

Is the attack AoE

[glass monolith]

It will be bottom right most of times

[rich plover]

Kinda funny that 12F got featured in this chapter during the battles lol

[glass monolith]

Spear throw is single target. Normal attack is single target. In phase 2 he has small range attack enough to target ranged units right next to him. AoE is aura which affect like... 1+something tile around him

[rich plover]

Right, the mines are not needed since it's Amiya's S3 yea?

[glass monolith]

Well mines are damage so if you can DP afford them. Path of boss is simple, not losing mine to random dog is outside my brain capacity

[foggy grove]

amoya s3 is like 47k total

what's pat hp again

anyhow just use the mines

it's also gives fragile

[rich plover]

Oh yea, wth do I do with the phase 2 ambush

Narantuya should be able to clean house yea?

[full terrace]

You mean the etc stuff? They are Chapter 7 enemies, Narantuya can do a full house clean, straight from the beginning to the end if you pair her with a blocker. In the context of offskill AoE, she and Asca are two of a kind. Just make sure she survived Patriot's spear throw and she will flush everything down the drain.

There is a reason why Naran is one of the top 3 Sniper picks in IS5 currently. IS5 has a lot of maps requiring AoE damage, and Narantuya does a fantastic job at that. Her only issue is her lower damage output but this is not a problem in IS because of Relics.

[narrow pendant]

Please dont use that thing as a source of actual "good" ops

Since its based on the amount of times the op has been taken, regardless of the difficulty

[pure orchid]

I always take this op called Fredi, i think theyre really good...

[full terrace]

That thing is only some proof of concept, that she is used by a vast number of players.

Naran IS a good op, her dps is not that high but she is useful in dealing with AoE. Altho her performance is not that impressive outside of content like IS (and maybe RA), calling her not good because her niche doesnt fit your playstyle is not an objective view. Just like how you implied that Fremont is hard on higher diff back then #strategy message and looked down on me because I was playing on d2 and hadnt unlocked higher difficulty yet. Well guess what? He still got obliterated in secs even in d15. Your opinion is subjective. There is nothing wrong with that, but that does not give you the right to invalidate others' opinions. Because you can see things from an angle, doesnt mean other views are automatically incorrect.

[narrow pendant]

I am. Not reading that yap

Also i never said naran isnt good

So

I said just cuz an op is in that list, doesnt automaticaly make them good

[full terrace]

You implied it the way you replied it. Well if you deny it, I guess I can take that as a yap and call it a day.

[narrow pendant]

If u take that as an implication, you shouldnt

I can do a thounsand runs drafting something like pallas until she shows up in the "most used" list

[glass monolith]

I don't even know anything about Nara off skill aoe

[narrow pendant]

Will you autimaticaly call her good because shes there? Most likely you wouldnt

That was my whole point

[pure orchid]

I just looked at is4 and found an impostor

The top picks don't really measure whether an op is good or not
It's just a reflection of the most recent ops at the time

Okay why the fuck is thorns also in is5 top pick

[narrow pendant]

Even kermit, the IS god said to not use that list as a way to gauge whether the op good in IS

If you dont believe me, go ahead

But you should believe him

[lapis hornet]

damn is god kermit

[glass monolith]

No it doesn't have Surtr Kalt and Passanger which i am missing

[narrow pendant]

Have no idea why you took it so seriously out of nowhere

[lapis hornet]

actually who's a knower

[full terrace]

Point taken. My subjective view would say that Pallas is still not good, but if you managed to flood the list til Pallas made it to top 3 picks, meaning that you have a consistent way to make Pallas shines that you managed to beat the number of top picks from thousands of other players'. Let's just say out of 1000 participating players, 300 players are consistently contributing +1 for the top pick everyday, and none are drafting Pallas. This means to enter top 3, you gotta single handedly do 300 runs with Pallas. If you managed to achieve this, then you have a unique way to use Pallas others cannot. I can only admit that she is good because you could do it. I cant do it doesnt mean it's not good.

[pure orchid]

I mean u can just pick pallas then dip

[narrow pendant]

You dont even need to deploy her though
Just drafting her counts

[lapis hornet]

actually is april still in this server

[narrow pendant]

So i wouldnt be able to have a unique way to use her at all

[pure orchid]

No because 7 8 9

[narrow pendant]

So funny hubby

Idk i spent like 30 dollars on blind boxes

And im having gambler thing sadness

Gambler regret

[full terrace]

Yeah exactly. It's an indication that an op is used by a vast number of players.

[narrow pendant]

Wait wait backtrack

What blind boxes

[pure orchid]

Alright so you know about these figurines with 6 variations that come in blind boxes

[narrow pendant]

Why 30 bucks

[pure orchid]

[glass monolith]

Erato 100% uptime, one day

Outside 2 balls Liskarm in Lone Trait S stage

[pure orchid]

Yeah and thats simply it
Its like a survey where most people pick answer C when the correct answer is actually B

[glass monolith]

Correct answer is screw meta do your own way and learn something

[pure orchid]

I threw a situation and forgot the theoretical meaning

Note to self: do not type tired

[full terrace]

Yeah this is an argument on data manipulation. Sure yeah you can push Pallas to top 3 in theory, but who would? It sure will change my objective view because the data changed. Just like how you just showed Thorns is used by a vast number of players. Do I think that Thorns is good? No. But can I say that Thorns is not good for other people? Not exactly because there are a lot of people drafting him til he made it to top 3.

I cant really invalidate these other people's opinions on Thorns, that will be an elitism.

[pure orchid]

Its not elitism, there has to be some objective truths here

Rn the prevailing definition of good is specialization in a niche or being able to do many different things at once

Its how we tell people to raise ulpi over thorns for example

And a list that ranks all operators in a class against each other is based on comparison

You compare ulpi over thorns
They use 1 squad slot, but ulpi happens to be more useful

[narrow pendant]

Thorns 🚮
Ulpi 🔛 🔝

laat time i used him was in his event

[pure orchid]

Ofc if you compare every op then the ones at the top of the list are good and the ones at the bottom are bad

[narrow pendant]

🥹

[pure orchid]

And then its a matter of assigning a threshold

Its also somewhat more accurate to have a grey area of "good enough"

Quite frankly thorns is middling

With the criterion of comparison, no one in this day and age is calling him good

Perhaps good enough at best, and bad at worst

[narrow pendant]

This has gotten too political

[pure orchid]

Similarly, depending on who you ask, people will say tuta is good or good enough

The prevailing opinion is that she's good, so good in fact that she's in the top 3 pick

But that doesn't reflect her true performance, simply the people's opinion

[narrow pendant]

But ik shes good🥹

[full terrace]

The thing about operators in arknights (or game in general) is that, there are multiple traits packed into one unit, something like damage, range, comfort of use, etc. We evaluate units based on their overall performance I understand that, but for some people, they'd over-valued a trait like for example: Player A does not care about damage at all and only care about the attack range. Then a subpar unit would be obviously viewed more favorably by this person than others right? The easiest example would be Pozemka. She is by far, the hardest hitting ST sniper, but would I say she is better than Ray? Not exactly, because of her range. So if someone says that Pozemka is good like Astrel and Ancool here #strategy message I cant really deny it because it is still data-fact that Pozemka hits harder than Ray.

[narrow pendant]

Wait what

How does pozy hit harder than ray who has like 5k dph

Is it using like, combined pozy+typewriter with s3

[pure orchid]

I guess ill just reiterate my point about comparison

You'd use ray in more situations than pozy, so ray is better

[full terrace]

What I'm trying to say is that, if the data shown that something is used by a lot of people, it is "good" by data <~ note the quote-unquote. So my objective view would say it good - this is my explanation of the "pushing Pallas to top 3". If you manage to push her to top 3, sure I'll call her good for you, but thats because of data manipulation. My subjective view would still say otherwise.

[full terrace]

Yayaya exactly

[full terrace]

Ya sorry I wasnt being clear. Pozy+Typewriter.

[pure orchid]

i mean that first statement is already false

the data doesnt say anything about good or bad

its just count

[narrow pendant]

2 vs 1 is unfair

[lapis hornet]

data's just what most ppl comfortable with

no need to dissert 3 years on it

[pure orchid]

Nope im making this my thesis

[full terrace]

Hence the quote-unquote

[lapis hornet]

most ppl don't play d15, at lower dif some "bad" units are actually decent

[narrow pendant]

I love data, like how it was proven by data that most tests have B as the most used answer

When u dont know, pick B
in my country at least

[pure orchid]

Frankly i dont get what the quotes are for

We're approaching a meta-something

not the abbreviation, but rather a view too wide for a scope too narrow

[full terrace]

Do you really not know or are you just messing with me. If data doesnt tell you anything, why the hell people do survey on things 😐
The quote-unquote good means that it is a conclusion drawn because of the high numbers count.

[pure orchid]

I did say frankly

The data is just count

And the conclusion does not follow

Idk who is drawing this conclusion but i dont support it

The word correlate popped into my head but idk how to use it

[full terrace]

Bro you are overcomplicating simple things. If you see 10 and 1. Conclusion is 10 is better, hence 10 good according to the numbers. Language is a just a form of labelling. If you are so against the use of "good" then say "favored by most" because the freaking data literally just told you that an X op is used by so many players that it got pushed to top 3.

[pure orchid]

I wanna say that first statement is ironic but thatd be borderline, if not ad hominem

And the second statement is just the same as before

Its just count

Idk what that 3rd sentence is supposed to mean

And the 4th sentence is just semantics

X op used by many player = Many player think X op is good
But at the end of the day its just what they think, nothing else

[full terrace]

The topic has gone offtrack for quite far. How did Naran argument came to this 🤣
Anyway, my take is that altho the top pick lists are obviously not an indication of an operator's strength compared to others, it is still an indication for favorability by players. If A unit is used favorably, there must be something in that A unit that people like, that people view favorably, hence why I said "there is a reason" in here #strategy message and the reason is her AoE.

I never said that the list is absolute indication of an operator's strength, not while Thorns is there. But because he is there, do I call him good? Personally no (subjective), but since data shows that people love to use him, I'd say "yes he is good to other people" (objective).

[glass monolith]

So okay i skipped entire talk you guys had having fun and shit. So what was Naran offskill aoe? And player who asked had E1 Nara

[pure orchid]

I more or less just presented the same point thrice and wanted to see what would change

[full terrace]

Sorry I wasnt being clear. Not exactly offskill offskill, but on S1 Naran kinda does her AoE thing through bouncing.

So its kinda onskill? But she can also switch back like Mountain

So offskill?

Onskill?

[glass monolith]

"S1"

Ok i am not going nuts because i was looking for S3 spin in her talents

[full terrace]

So did anything change then?

[pure orchid]

Your approach

and focus i guess

Semantics too, you were becoming clearer

[full terrace]

Because I realized I'm talking to you and not some random strangers smfh

I dont wanna hurt your feelings

Its fine, ive gained some numbness from somewhere

I basically dont believe in loyalty anymore

Im loyal to you tho🥹

[pure orchid]

Thanks

[void terrace]

How does naran hold up in higher difficulties?

Shss been shredding lower difficulties for me but i can see her falling off fast

[scarlet fulcrum]

She just relying on relics i think, with all of her skill being atk_ scale. So benefit on all type atk relics (aspd trash for her tho). Still not drafting her so far. Kinda whatever with ton of relics anyway

[acoustic slate]

Very strong mid-run with some attack relics, like kirn said. Falls off on floor 5/6 a bit since no aspd scaling yeah. I draft her a lot if I have the hope and tickets

[vocal leaf]

nara is my main sniper, basically the only 6star sniper i use, she does pretty well, i don’t agree she cant use aspd relics, there’s a lot tiles good for her in is5, she just has to be close to the targets

i mostly use s1

[tidal sedge]

Guys

Who should I buy Weedy or Suzu?

I always wanted Suzu but weedy will be more useful

[full terrace]

Suzu and prepare for CCB#3 👍

[scarlet fulcrum]

Projectile speed still same, esp with other than s3. So the benefit just a little even with 400 aspd

[tidal sedge]

Yeah I'll borrow Weedy for it and try to get Ceobe in the next selector.

[narrow pendant]

U wanna use 30 bucks for more cc 3 score?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just get her from T0 5 times

[full terrace]

Wow rich

Ceobe. Selector.

[acoustic slate]

It’s not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. She doesn’t scale well with aspd. Even if they’re very close, once ASPD buff is in the hundreds, which isn’t uncommon in higher floor IS5, the projectile speed is the biggest bottleneck

[tidal sedge]

Nah, Kernel selector. Who tf would spent 30 dollars on a gacha Op come on

[narrow pendant]

:clueless:

[acoustic slate]

I think you borrow eyja alter and win🚬

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ranged comp also safe since no reefbreaker

But yea just borrow eyjalter and dip

[leaden linden]

noted🗒️

where should i put the sheep alongside other operators i have

[full terrace]

You can abuse Lappland and accurately apply her Silence on some enemies. I remember Kyostin had a guide with Lappland Support and he cleared it with no Brands on whole map.

Or just borrow Eyjaberry yeah

[leaden linden]

i just wanna get the complete uh progress collection

the sinters are important for me to S3M3 wisadel

[leaden linden]

becuase i havent unlock that stage yet

[leaden linden]

roger roger

[narrow pendant]

Done, add whatever you wanna else

Can add like, a multi medic below bass for lapp, or another dps

[leaden linden]

i should get myrtle and texas for fast dp

ah multi medic

roger

noted

yeah i have ptilopsis

i can use her

[narrow pendant]

Or well, ig u can put eyjaberry under fedex instead

[leaden linden]

no no

ptilopsis havent e2

for some reason

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can play safe by camping top left guider with wis, and waiting bottom guider on stair with hoshit and lapp

Kinda afk b4 350 maybe

[leaden linden]

thank you

ejya borrow btw

this was suffering before i got a lot of e2's

[narrow pendant]

mosti wasnt really meant to be there but seeing its you, you'd want her there

[leaden linden]

ues

very much

you know i love mostima

[lethal kraken]

i need thoughts on which defender i should e2 first: saria or mudrock?

both are e1 lvl 60 rn, and i plan to e2 both eventually. i just wanna know who i'd get more mileage out of e2ing first

[full terrace]

I'm assuming you are new. It depends on what other ops you have atm, if you have some dps(es) built already then go Saria, otherwise you wanna build Mudrock for the dps first

[void terrace]

mud rock can do well enough st e1 but gets a huge boost stats wise with e2

Saria is just solid overall and you probably can hold off her e2 for a bit if you are early in story and arnt pressed for healing

[lapis hornet]

I'm new you assumed right

[full terrace]

Bro I just got the craziest run ever @pure orchid

Wisadel did 98k per shot 🤣

And Nymph 84k per shot

[pure orchid]

Fuck kinda relics did u get bruh

[full terrace]

It was the usual atk Relics like Scout Scope, King sets, Empty Fowlbeast, Commander's Portrait, Old George's Nutri-Paste, Silver Fork those kind of. But this time I did something different.

I tried to find this Impression on Rogue Trader F1

Then invest 2 Plans on it

When this Impression is on effect, Cannot keeps selling me all the rare books

I entered F3-F4-F5-F6 Rogue Trader and found myself Fatal Bolt - Precision and Crossfire

[pure orchid]

Shop impressions are arguably the strongest tbh

Safe house is kinda lame

ftt is paying thoughts to gain thoughts
we already get a lot
and we dont encounter ftt much

[full terrace]

And Broken Wand - Malediction and Arts Weaving for my Nymph and Logos

FTT the +1 Plan is not bad

Say if you invest 2 Plans on F2

F3-F4-F5-F6 you get a total of 5 Plans back, so thats +3

[pure orchid]

It is a net gain if you invest early, but in comparison to shop...

[full terrace]

Yah Shop is broken

I keep seeing things like

Civilight Eterna and friends

I went into F5 Rogue Trader with like 100 Ingots

When I exit the Shop I was at 12

It was crazy

You belive it or not, that run was pretty meh going into F4

I was half given up already

But then, I got the Masterless thingy

And the Masterless thingy gave me 5x Shrivel 😂

Kept em until F6 for 20x Shrivel

[pure orchid]

Oh ffs masterless giving exactly 5 shrivel

Thats just

[full terrace]

It was engineered lmao

In d15, you need to get +2 Hope or Kettle to start your run

Because Wisadel costs 7 Hope to recruit

If I dont get it, I reset and do a Blueprint Doodle rush to F4

And leave 5 Shrivels there 🤣🤣

[pure orchid]

Bruh thats crazy

Just sniper squad and dip

[full terrace]

Bro I'm working on the Squad icons 😂

[pure orchid]

Boooooo

what if d18 has new icons

[full terrace]

I'm gonna shelf that IS5 forever if that happens

[pure orchid]

Nope your account is going to be fraudulent

[full terrace]

But seriously bro, if you have time try to Doodle rush your Prospective Investment. The extra stuff Cannot sells can be a gamechanger when you look for the books

[pure orchid]

I dont even play no more couh

I got the rewards

Yup

March is a saturday so thats great

If those are not proper team, idk

[tired eagle]

Skill issue imo

[full terrace]

Maybe he meant a proper team like this 😂

[tired eagle]

[sly drift]

Having Trio Sexas, GG E2, Shu and maybe some *3 to block is much better than this squad for this stage you know.

Or literally just duo Yato and Sexas and bunch of *3

Rather than proper squad, more of "Correct" squad than I need

[scarlet fulcrum]

Dosent work for summons

[limpid ore]

[void terrace]

I mean i have civil night and skadi

But they just feel very

Slow

Been looking for a good support for my ling hyper carry team

[lyric condor]

Thorns Alter S1 is like 200 regen/s
& +200 Defense if you think about it.

[void terrace]

Oh right

Hes coming out too

[narrow pendant]

CE s1m3 has like 300hps

S3 has even more

[void terrace]

Yeah but cooldowns and range

I mean when im using ling and want to heal her dragons amiya medic ironically works better since her tallent gives global healing

[narrow pendant]

CE s1 is unlimited, and s3 is..idk actually

Was it like 50/35?

If u want global healing, slap angie and perfurmer

[wicked minnow]

me think it's like half of that no?

[narrow pendant]

Its 257 with s1m3, lvl90, mod3

[wicked minnow]

damn you're counting mod too. i c i c

[narrow pendant]

Not sure if the extra 30% burst of healing affects summons

Prolly not

And if it do, im too lazy to calculate it

[wicked minnow]

doubt it does. also i got a number a bit less than 257 being 0.35x(369+30+27)x1.6 = 238.56

[narrow pendant]

Mod is +8% atk

Oh wait

That needs ops to take effect so just ling dragons wouldnt do

[wicked minnow]

i think it's just 0.3x(369+30+27)x~~(1/6)~~ (1/3)

[narrow pendant]

But he said hes bringing other ops so it may be active

[wicked minnow]

also i dont think the x1.6 from her talent works on summons either

[narrow pendant]

S1 halfs the ball respawn

It does

[wicked minnow]

damn her healing is kinda respectable lowkey

[lyric condor]

It only applies on the Operator affected by the particle?

[wicked minnow]

i dont get your question exactly. like what applies. if you mean the 1.6x then ye

[limpid ore]

iirc it doesnt even collide with summoned units

[narrow pendant]

It happens that it says op but summons too
But i cant say i tried so i may be delulu

[wicked minnow]

the 30% also but doesnt work with enmity since it's green healing i believe

[narrow pendant]

Yeah that ik

Its just nice "consistent" wording

Since her trait also says "restore"

[wicked minnow]

the orbs dont collide with ling dragons

[wary imp]

any tip for CV's Out Of The Fire trimmed medal?

asking in advance

[glass monolith]

What was condition

(I don't have memory space to assign names of medal to shit)

[wary imp]

Boom cliff while he is affected by waste heat vents

[lyric condor]

Having him hit 0 HP on both phases while being hit by the device.

[glass monolith]

Vent Cliff. Them kill him. Duh

[wary imp]

it seems hard tho

[glass monolith]

Event at time if CV event Typhon S3 would kill him in single vent cycle. Now we have Wisadel

[wary imp]

perfect substitute to typhon

also i have seen some low end strat using mlynar

but its uhh

[glass monolith]

Specter alter can stalk him because turning doll keeper into doll doesn't proc on kill effect

[wicked minnow]

iirc he wasn't particularly hard in the normal stages. just like kill him fr fr

[wary imp]

yeah fr

[glass monolith]

You seen some strat. I said "Fuck it I am Quartz stalling him"

[wary imp]

noted

[scarlet fulcrum]

U only need to kill him while affected to vent

[wary imp]

ye ik

needs some stalling + fast atk interval op too

• medics

[scarlet fulcrum]

Can also timing burst, or clown him with nymph

[glass monolith]

Just more vanguards and kill faster

[wary imp]

i dont have nymph

[lyric condor]

Borrow.

[glass monolith]

I forgive you friend supporting for trim

[wicked minnow]

you could also just buff army exusiai or something similar and time the vents

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just kill dude, also quite fine for afk too

[wary imp]

ok then imma borrow wi-

[wary imp]

so stalling it is

[wicked minnow]

exu does no damage unless he is affected by vents. you just need to time the skills and he dead

[wary imp]

plus the 1k+ phys and def reduction would make me having a hard time dealing with him smh

[wicked minnow]

vents remove 70% of his def

[wary imp]

no i mean
time the vents with wis s3

[wary imp]

i mean the atk during non-burst time

[wicked minnow]

oh uhhh, cringe also that works like really well just like kill the man when the vents are on

[glass monolith]

#strategy message

[wary imp]

and his passive skill

[glass monolith]

Ulpanius, Gladiia

Will it work? Don't know. Someone will try

[wary imp]

no wae i need to build gladiia rq

[lyric condor]

I'll try it if you want.

[wicked minnow]

ulpianus should 110% work

[glass monolith]

Phase 1 stuns long enough to move forward unless you provide status resist/body. Phase 2 spends so long on attacking stun ends before he moves

[wicked minnow]

the guy doesnt deal enough damage at all against ulpi and ulpi can just kill him

[wary imp]

so

• stall him with some defenders + medics
• boost waste heat vents rate w/ gravel
• wis on vents' activation
• beware of minions
• repeat for phase 2

as for the abyssal hunter strat, imma just rethink abt it

[wicked minnow]

it's really not that deep. just use wis when the vents are on. she just kinda kills him

[wary imp]

aight

[glass monolith]

And probably when vent is off too

[wicked minnow]

also according to wiki, you can do it on either phase once and you get the medal

[wary imp]

nah imma trim

[glass monolith]

Trim is do it on both

[wary imp]

wait what if i do it on 2 seperate operations?
will it count?
(ofc not)

[lyric condor]

(No it doesn't)

[wary imp]

(shame)

[glass monolith]

I work at IT. I don't know how broken their IF condition is

[wary imp]

lmao ok

[scarlet fulcrum]

Trim for both yea, i think i trimmed medal without realizing it

[wary imp]

nais

[glass monolith]

Every year of my life I make random infinite loop. This year managed to make one due typo in if condition - '=' (set to) instead '==' (equals)

[scarlet fulcrum]

It will be small feat for nowadays burst regardless

[wicked minnow]

oh right mb

[full terrace]

D15 Patriot has around 9k atk and almost 11k with Talon (assuming no Fissured Restraints and friends) - that one shot everything in most cases. If you are really (like really) unlucky with Relics, using strat like abusing Medicine Sticks plus the Shield Inspirer on FRD can let you tank a few hits from Patriot. But then again, I have never experienced a run where I didnt accumulate enough Relics going into F6. IS5 is either you skip all Relics and spend 1 hour on boss fights or collect Relics for 1 hour and cheese boss fights in 1 min.

[limber jewel]

Is there any way to specifically target king's relics

[wicked minnow]

afaik there's an encounter that can literally give you all of the kings relics as a nice gift (i think it only appears on higher floors but i might be wrong). there's also a lamp item that in a later expansion that guarantees you get some good relics based on a condition for that relic

[full terrace]

No unfortunately but

[limber jewel]

Is there a specific floor it shows up? I really want to run spearhead squad, blueprint is getting old real fast

[full terrace]

You can always do a path with many Encounters starting from F3

And around F6 (if you going for ending 3) there is a high chance of King Encounter happening if you hadnt get one

I personally find that Doodle run is stabler than Talon run on Squads that are not Blueprint

[limber jewel]

Thanks, does getting that other relic (the one with talon) help?

Oh yeah

[full terrace]

If you are willing to spend Plans e.g. you get Flourishing Catastrophe and get many many Epochal Gaps or Sordid Surveillance fights

You can afford to spend the Plans to reset Nodes

And most Nodes reset under Doodle

Give you fair chance of turning them into Encounters

[limber jewel]

I've actually never tried doodle, is it better in higher modifiers

[full terrace]

Well it's stable in d15 at least, my first Patriot attempt had 90 Relics

Idk about d18 later

Gotta try

[limber jewel]

Jesus and that's not talon? I thought 66 was high

[full terrace]

That was not Talon yeah

[limber jewel]

What's thr best squad to climb difficulty with? Currently at d6

Sniper medic squad with wisadel start?

[pure orchid]

The fastest is blueprint + doodle relic

You can have 15 minute runs and get to d15 quick

[wicked minnow]

you can get that encounter in floor 3 aswell?

[pure orchid]

Do d15 in 15 minutes too

[full terrace]

Yah you can

I did many many Blueprint Doodle rush to F3 when I failed a run

Because in d15 Wisadel needs 7 Hope to recruit

So I gotta get +2 Hope or Kettle start

[limber jewel]

Do i have to care about branching nodes or do i just ignore them

[glass monolith]

"you can" doesn't mean "you will"
And with my luck "you won't"

[wicked minnow]

still didnt but im not actively grinding IS rn

[full terrace]

And in those rushes there were couples of times I got King Encounter in F3

[pure orchid]

Branch is fine, just keep going through encounter until you get king set

[glass monolith]

I still need to begin grinding is4, and maybe like 10 levels left in 3

[limber jewel]

Just hope doodle gives me enough plans to afford node jumping lol

[wicked minnow]

i finished grinding is4 battle pass with welfares but im still d12. I got my shit kicked in 2x by the hard mode of the crystal boss

i didnt realize the hardmode actually made the bosses hard 🥹

[full terrace]

Doodle gives you plenty of Plans (and Hope) surprisingly (if you do a lot of Encounters that is).

Inauguration Ceremony alone gives you 5 Plans at once

And Doodle gives you plenty of Safe Houses when resetting Nodes

Safe House can give you 3 Plans if you are lucky

Actually I think Doodle might give more Plans than Talon tbh

If you memorize which fights have more Spikes, Doodle can flood you with Plans

Best ones are Epochal Gaps and Sordid Surveillance

Also pray for Catastrophes Epoch

[full terrace]

Idk I usually take The Silence 😂

[glass monolith]

Avenger is like 20% better if you PURE physical

[limber jewel]

I only have wisadel on my squad right now i just started lol

I usually get nymph logoseyja tho

[full terrace]

At d15 Patriot has around 500k HP iirc, and -20% HP is like 100k damage for me

So usually I take The Silence

[weak gazelle]

left is phys amp

[glass monolith]

+35% physical means you need to do 74.1% of enemy HP as physical damage to kill it

[weak gazelle]

and right side straight up -20% hp

easily pick that one

[limber jewel]

When having doodle is it better to refresh 1v1/2v2 nodes

[wicked minnow]

but is it applied before or after defence?

[glass monolith]

I don't know their code but in normal wording games take damage is after defence

[limber jewel]

Rip, refreshed and turned into scout bro i have 3 ops

[glass monolith]

You have 2 ops

[weak gazelle]

oh the duel map
idc tbh, be it 1v1 or 2v2 doesnt matter

if have to choose i prefer do that at f4 and above

better relics and ops surely it would be easier no

[glass monolith]

(reads "Alt f4" by habit)

[weak gazelle]

[limber jewel]

Cat pulled out ethernet cable mid battle

I'm about to turn bro into a battle record

[glass monolith]

That's why you need wireless

[full terrace]

🤣 🤣

[limber jewel]

Cqn wisadel solo victory rewind? (frostnova and patriot stage)

[pure orchid]

Maybe not, she wont cycle fast enough

[full terrace]

If you got a 98k per shot run like this one #strategy message then you can

But usually I just stall FrostNova and Patriot with blockers

Wisadel at top can cover both lanes

Facing down

[limber jewel]

I'm cooked

[wicked minnow]

honestly you might be good. just like time the ability

also you have the lives to tank patriot. so it isnt run ending atleast

[full terrace]

I place her at that Blue circle facing down usually

[limber jewel]

Well at least lava survived to tank the patriot spear

[full terrace]

Safe distance from Patriot and decent amount of coverage on Frost Nova

[limber jewel]

Yeah ill try that next time

[full terrace]

Also if possible

Do that visit on F5 or somethin

Coz Time and Light makes all Thought +1 Toil

Thats painful if you are cultivating Shrivels

[wicked minnow]

oh that sucks

[limber jewel]

Which visit

[full terrace]

Victory Rewind

[limber jewel]

Hoalso yeah this wasn't as hard as i thought

[full terrace]

When you "Pull the Trigger" earlier

You got Time and Light

[limber jewel]

Yea

[wicked minnow]

wisadel shits on patriot normally and he has reduced stats here iirc. maybe not the case on higher diff though

[full terrace]

Well I always do that one in F5 so

Didnt feel the difficulty

F5 usually I got thousands of Relics already

[limber jewel]

So i was supposed to do this fragment on f5?

[full terrace]

Optimally yeah

Because

[limber jewel]

Didn't know damn

[full terrace]

Time and Light Relic makes all Thoughts +1

And usually we cultivate Shrivels so we want all the Thoughts inventory

[wicked minnow]

nvm silvergun lied 😔. he has more damage but less health than h7-4 patriot (d0)

[full terrace]

What I usually do is to spend Shrivels at F4 leaving only like 5 to make some space for that Relic at F5

[limber jewel]

How do you even check that info

[full terrace]

Then cultivate the remaining 5 Shrivels until F6

[limber jewel]

How do you make those

[wicked minnow]

there's tomimi.dev and there's arkmaps

[glass monolith]

Wait until more smart people than us break into code and put stats on arkmap tomimi-dev prts

[limber jewel]

Oh damn is this it

[full terrace]

Shrivel and Sprout. The 2 Star Lingerer that once combined, give you Relic

[full terrace]

Yeah thats it but your Life Points is not at 1 so you cant get all 4 of them 😂😂

[limber jewel]

Brooooo

[full terrace]

Ashforged Ruins F3 there

[limber jewel]

What a waste rip

[full terrace]

Quite early you got that

[limber jewel]

Can i not get it again? My bag is full of plans lol

[full terrace]

Not again lol

[wicked minnow]

tomimi.dev: https://tomimi.dev/en
arkmaps: https://map.ark-nights.com/areas

tomimi has a section just for is5 and a difficulty stats calculator stage-by-stage

[limber jewel]

Gg boss was kaltsit

Could not cover 2 lanes woth 4 cancer pillars covering ab 8x8 area

[wicked minnow]

did you lose yet or just entered?

you definitely can

[limber jewel]

I botched it, i did not have enough dp to aggro the dron summoner dudes

It targeted the revenant and hit wis

[wicked minnow]

oh rip

[limber jewel]

I should have started with tin man anyway idk why i went with medic+caster

[wicked minnow]

there's probably some revenant spawn manipulation you could've done but idk if you have enough ops for that

[wicked minnow]

from my bit of experience tinman does pretty well in that stage for low diff atleast

he's able to take care of the 2 cancer pillars

[limber jewel]

Yeah but it just happened to occupy like half the blue box side

I had to put wis near the red boxes so she got hit by drones

[full terrace]

Oh Patriot has around 537k HP at d15 apparently according to tomimi

My math failed

[glass monolith]

How could you fail at simple additive of difficulty buffs into multiplicative of per D per floor stat increase

[full terrace]

😂

[limber jewel]

Second run is going better

[full terrace]

500k sounds menacing in paper but it's not in practice. The Silence, Painful Happiness, and all that usually bring it down to like 300k

And then you get a 98k per shot run like this #strategy message

Gone in secs

I did not even use Kaltsit with Civilight Eterna

[wicked minnow]

in practice Al-Rafiq has 500k

[full terrace]

I dont play RA

[limber jewel]

Btw, is going for thorns alter a good decision after lappland?

Kinda like his s2

[full terrace]

I kinda like him too, but from dps perspective he is kinda mid

I'll see what I can do when the time comes

If funding is tight I'm considering skipping

[glass monolith]

[limber jewel]

He seems op in is with sp relics and stuff

[wicked minnow]

[weak gazelle]

going for thornstar huh
well, me will say its bad decision

[wicked minnow]

God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers or however the saying goes

[glass monolith]

Thornstar, Clownslayer, ReaperMom. Try to stop me

[weak gazelle]

hahahaha

he just remind me of blemi, jack of all trade type of ops
but didnt excell on any of it

[limber jewel]

Probably gonna save up for eblana after yu lmao

[weak gazelle]

ReaperMom its such a letdown
to think she that weak, coping her survivability would do something but turn out is do nothing :icant:

[limber jewel]

ARE YOU SERIOUS three in a row

[wicked minnow]

i honestly dont think she's that bad. like yeah she has low dph but that doesnt mater for a vast majority of enemies. she's kinda a fedex sidegrade imo. i think most people are a bit too harsh on her

[full terrace]

Why dont you like Scout

I like Scout

[wicked minnow]

i might do like a proper calculation later but as long as the enemy has like below 1200 defence or smthn, she can deal double strikes against them until the skill runs out of duration since her damage and the damage from candle are equal, which would mean that the 60% of the health thing of the candle doesnt matter

[limber jewel]

I thonk the leading argument is that she doesn't really offer anything new, therefore skip

She's one of those ops that if you have her, good on you

[wicked minnow]

if that's the leading arguement against her then fair honestly

she's basically a fedex sidegrade

she's about in the same position as pepe where she doesnt necessarily offer anything we dont have already

[limber jewel]

There's also some op that does her job better

Probably

[weak gazelle]

hmm?
elaborate pls
harsh? idk, sidegrade to fedex i can agree if didnt count his mod

because fedex no mod are mid
just literally mid

while pluma is the best reaper design (kit) wise
the only bad thing about her is she got 5* treatment

[limber jewel]

I have a burning hatred for this stage

[wicked minnow]

mainly that she's auto recovery and has about 6k dps

[glass monolith]

Hahah S2 ReaperMom go brrrr

[wicked minnow]

her main problem is low physical damage numbers since she deals about 2k physical damage

[full terrace]

I still am not a fan of unhealable units

[glass monolith]

I'm fan of stupid things because i have emergency meta at each corner of base

[narrow pendant]

I woupdnt be either if shit like fedex and zuo werent part of it

They too good🥹

Dude just watch youtube 8+ years old videos idk

[covert tree]

I noticed on some Arknights wiki pages, Beanstalk’s S2 sp cost is listed as lower than her in-game sp cost. Was Beanstalk nerfed recently?

[glass monolith]

"some wiki" thanks for diractions, just need to visit one of 62 trillion sites to find that page

[narrow pendant]

The broken one has space 💔

[pure orchid]

Outdated wisdom for modern times 🚮

[glass monolith]

Screw wisdom. comedy

[pure orchid]

So tru

Have problem? just laugh fr
its free !!!!

[covert tree]

Sorry for not specifying. The two pages I looked at recently for Beanstalk stats:

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Beanstalk

and

https://arknights.fandom.com/wiki/Beanstalk

Compared to what I see in game:

[pure orchid]

Thats strange

There's been no history of any nerfing

More likely the wiki is just wrong

The closest thing we got to a nerf is hg removing momentum on shifters upon retreat, which they argue is a "bug fix"

Bug fix my ass, momentum is a real life phenomenon
If i throw this rock, it wont suddenly stop moving cus its already out of my hands

[covert tree]

Thank you for verifying! Wanted to confirm the skill stats before I M3-ed one of them for use.

[pure orchid]

s2 is just a way better skill overall

Lets you block a maximum of 5 in normal circumstances

[glass monolith]

Those idiots wrote S1 skill cost in S2. For people who work in Confluence it was Wednesday

[wicked minnow]

cant you still do this though?

[pure orchid]

Pretty sure i heard a while back that you cant anymore

Idk if they put it back

[glass monolith]

I heard it was here during Coop on CN and people rofled from Lowlight trying to recall gladiia after pull on ball minigame. But i think it returned afterwards

or not

i totally forgot they were getting it broooooooooooooo

[lofty stag]

You seem to be taking it well

[wicked minnow]

is there another kernel locating with aak before then??

or does the pool change for EN?

[glass monolith]

Don't bother. Everyone will be playing Clownslayer who is immune to Aak

[wicked minnow]

everyone? wdym everyone? you mean me?

[lofty stag]

Tbf, I didn’t see any aak griefers back in first icebreaker

[wicked minnow]

i should've done it more

[glass monolith]

I seen like 1 Aak player and he gave me Silence Alter S3 before Aak

[lofty stag]

[glass monolith]

Fuck Blemishine paradox

(Note for myself, make sure to not start paradox on e2 1)

[merry narwhal]

they're all clearable at sl7 e2 1

[glass monolith]

I did clear, i did not enjoy it

Cringe skill activation timings is my weakness

[full terrace]

I got the one with Shining

There are some genuine Aak players out there honestly

But its like 1% only

The remaining 99% are trolls

[glass monolith]

I hated that maps didn't had many Fuze S2 spots

I running out of grindstones from how many bipolars my PMC (Pharmacy Military Company ) consumes

Thanks to Mostima i know paradox don't count toward module unlock... Shit

[crystal meteor]

Theres yu for icebreaker now, put him in the back, use s2 to pull enemies closer to the blue box then retreat

[harsh void]

What are like the unit requirements to beat this damn stage

I kept hearing in #help you need a LOT of vanguards

[glass monolith]

Unit requirement is funny word when we don't know what you have in mod without friend supporting at map which players with bunch elite 2 operators do with closed eyes

When I'm facing troublesome/boss stage in RA main map I prefer to get next 3 day cycle save and then save scam to it if I fail to refund acts

[harsh void]

An unleveled Humus, Jackie and Matoimaru are cut off in the Guard Screenshot.

None have Modules.

If they're E1 or above assume they have Lv 7 skills because I don't remember who actually has Lv 7 skills but a majority do.

[glass monolith]

Please don't do by class screenshots next time, empty space is wasted and most players know half of operators by heart - just rarity sort by all classes next time.
I personally would skip doing RA for now or use score grinding methods for shop sweep. It will be hard to advance with so few high level operators. You will probably die to day 30 raid or sooner

Oh wait RA easy mode exists... I didn't touch it and don't know how much it requires to feel comfortable. Maybe #reclamation-algorithm-hub know

[harsh void]

Oh... There's a designated channel...

[full terrace]

I second what Minus said. Seems like you are severely underleveled atm. Would recommend you to wrap up the Main Stories first and wait til you pulled a couple more useful 6 Stars before re-exploring that game mode. RA is quite end-gamey.

[lofty stag]

Can confirm what arf said, RA favours a very end game roster

[dark radish]

RA rewards easier to clear than IS for me, and i do it without any operator.

10k point per 2 minutes.

[dark ridge]

make use of craftable tools like battlement and reactive barriers, i can confirm that it's doable as long as you have a strong dps and block the chargers using a mixture of fast redeploy units and barriers, you can cheese the rock stage with shirayuki

[vivid rain]

Well score farming in RA consists of crafting glowsticks over and over so

[dark ridge]

you get so many resources that i'd say it's worth trying it

[severe venture]

any tips for this stage?

the first time I did it I failed miserably

[full terrace]

Make good use of your Wisadel and Asca

It's all about AoE that one

[severe venture]

My first placement of wisadel was awful. thank god gladdia is tanky and has cc

[full terrace]

That is still awful

[severe venture]

It worked tho

[full terrace]

Good for you

[vocal leaf]

i always deploy my ops in the bottom left, eyja+greyalt and logos+nara

[full terrace]

Nara seems really good here ngl

And Asca ofcourse

[vocal leaf]

i skipped asca i’m still ethan user

[severe venture]

I have no idea what happened, but boss dead

[sterile drum]

im on floor 2. who should i pick for specialist? only e2 i have are aak or mizuki, but i have the general use e1 lower stars

and e1 gladiia

[lofty stag]

I will proceed to clown on ur Myrtle

Cuz whytf did you get mod before m3 😭

And why is Myrtle l70

[sterile drum]

ngl idk

[lofty stag]

Anyway just pick gravel

Aak and mizuki don’t seem good for is

I’m assuming this is is5

Right?

[sterile drum]

i did mod for a mission

yes

[lofty stag]

Yeah just take gravel

Ideally you’d have heavier hitters for spec ticket

The the frd trio

Ascalon

Gladiia if you have/will get ulpi

ELA

[sterile drum]

i dont

[lofty stag]

Ye then ur Gladiia is only really useful for maybe ed2 phase 2

[sterile drum]

i dont have many spec...

[lofty stag]

You’ll get a lot eventually

[sterile drum]

😔 i want the texas alter i borrow her all the time

[lofty stag]

Tbh I barely use/recruit her much anymore

[vocal leaf]

texalt is very useful in is5, like the robot stage or the car stage or for cleaning the theresis clones in ed2

[full terrace]

Texas is my 2nd priority after Asca

Higher than Ela lol

I want het Arts damage

S2

Freakin powerful

[sterile drum]

what other vanguard should i take? i have e2 bp and sage then some e1 lower star

[full terrace]

Ines would be ideal hmm

[sterile drum]

as in mitm and vigna

[full terrace]

Oof

[vocal leaf]

i got so many deploy limit relics, almost everyone deployed and the poor pat got brrr

[sterile drum]

i can build beanstalk since i see other ppl take her?

[full terrace]

Beanstalk is good for opening only

When you get to F3, you should have a couple of 6 Stars by then

Then you bench Beanstalk

Oh I also use Beanstalk's Crabs to bait this and bait that

[sterile drum]

I have this + gravel rn

[full terrace]

Especially Simulated Skirmish

[vocal leaf]

is that the caster stage?

[full terrace]

If you do Simulated Skirmish under Flourishing Suffering Epoch

The Crabs wont get 70% reduced HP

Very useful for baiting the mortars

[lofty stag]

Nah bro how do I survive emer skirmish in general 😭

[sterile drum]

Ic ive been using deepcolor to bait stuff rn

[full terrace]

Deepcolor works too yeah

[lofty stag]

I put any op down and dual mortar just bodies them

[full terrace]

I usually just use Beanstalk to bait mortars and generate DP

Then deploy Tin Man/Medic and Wis immediately

[sterile drum]

So should I build beanstalk and select her

[full terrace]

Mortars will switch to Wis but Tin Man/Medic will heal

[lofty stag]

@full terrace You do d15 right, is wis tin man bean still viable there

[sterile drum]

Interesting. I don't have those 2

Where do you get tin man?

[full terrace]

Yeh its viable, but not 100% stable

Sometimes I tripped and Signal Lost there 😂

[lofty stag]

I’m guessing you need 8 hope start, no?

[full terrace]

It'd be better if you have Medic by then

Coz you can do Medic + Wis right away

Plop plop

And let mortars body Wis

[lofty stag]

Wait do you do blueprint or snipe medic squad

[full terrace]

I do all kind of Squads

[sterile drum]

The only medic I have built ng, kal, reedalter and 2 aren't really heal medics

[full terrace]

Those are plenty powerful

[lofty stag]

Its funny cuz snipe medic has such an easy early game, but is kinda hard to emer farm late game

But blueprint is vice versa

[full terrace]

Yah Blueprint is brutal

Tin Man x Beanstalk cant even kill that Bad Neighbors' Spine

I'm massively annoyed

It's doable in around d12

But not d15

Cant kill Spine = no extra Plans early run

Its brutal

[lofty stag]

So snipe medic is better d15, or should I try to brute force blueprint

[full terrace]

Instant E2 is always a massive advantage

[lofty stag]

True

[full terrace]

I'm overjoyed if I get Sniper Voucher first fight

[lofty stag]

That barely happens to me

[foggy grove]

blueprint take click for a reason

[lofty stag]

Right, but I’m stuck with e1 Wis

Until I get gifted a sniper ticket

[full terrace]

E1 Wis fine until around d12 I suppose

13-14-15 the difficulty spike is unreal

[lofty stag]

Thought as much

Imma have to pivot to snipe medic then

[full terrace]

Its easy around the end of the run with 1000 Relics

But early run man..

You have no idea how many Signal Losts I have gotten, and had to do Doodle rush to F3 for +2 Hope or Kettle 😂

[lofty stag]

Btw, whats the most efficient way to farm is5 pass points

Do I rush ed1

[full terrace]

Pass points?

[lofty stag]

Or go emer farm to ed3

Ya

Like if I wanna finish the pass as fast as possible

Next month

[full terrace]

Oh

Hmm

Rush ed1 I suppose

With Blueprint Doodle

I mean an optimal run will give you 2k-ish only anyway

Might as well do Fremont rush but got 1k-ish

[lofty stag]

I see

[full terrace]

With ¼ the time

[lofty stag]

Makes sense

I rarely do doodle runs so i have to ask

[full terrace]

Rushable until around d12 I guess?

[lofty stag]

But is the idea to constantly reroll into encounters?

[full terrace]

Into Encounters yeah

F3 fight dont make it alter fight

Then grab King Relics for Fremont fight

[lofty stag]

I see

I’ll try it out in a few days

[nocturne river]

For IS5 is there a four star tier list? I’ve only got like 3 built, and I don’t wanna waste my resources on useless ones

[full terrace]

Check it out at #is-station

Or ask the people there

[wary shuttle]

for the most part its the same as the typical 4 star tier list in general content, i.e cutter, ethan, totter, etc

[stable beacon]

It

is this mean my hp shield or character shield??

my lp*

[full terrace]

The LP Shield +1, and then if you have any LP Shield at the start of the battle, your operators get +60% HP

[nocturne river]

What channel is the m3 priority tier list pinned?

[full terrace]

M what? 😅

[pure orchid]

try #help

[full terrace]

Help has such thing? Lmao

I never knew people in help can read minds

[pure orchid]

Im not sure if it does

[narrow pendant]

Ye roadless has it

Hi hubby
