Victoria arc concluded in Vina story

[narrow pendant]

Ch15 is arc 3

[vocal leaf]

nooo we getting talulah

[narrow pendant]

2 dragons to pull? Gladly

[full terrace]

Wisadel is broken because she was broken in the lore lol

[vocal leaf]

talulah will powercreep wisadel so we all can forget that ugly roach

[full terrace]

Also Chapter 14 is almost the finale of the arc

[narrow pendant]

I already diid🥹

Last time i used her was ch14 when released 🥹

[vocal leaf]

she didn’t even exist to me, i haven’t used her one single time 🥹

[narrow pendant]

do use her in IS but that dont count :ya:

[vocal leaf]

cheating

when hoe and ines will kick w out of the trio and adopt paprika? 🥹

[tidal sedge]

She'll probably and hopefully get a skin soon, not that she's ugly anyway

[narrow pendant]

She is

Dont lie to yourself, its not healthy🥹

[tidal sedge]

I will believe it, cause you said so.

[narrow patrol]

So you think I need to invest more in my lower end ops so I can free my six stars for the kernel breakthrough?

And who’d be a good priority

Barring masteries I’d rather not burn resources on that

[full terrace]

Jaye, Tin Man, Lappland are pretty decent for lower levels

Also make good use of your Medic Amiya

Hmm I feel like this event gonna be brutal for underdeveloped accounts

[rich rune]

Any recommendations on how to use Swire alter? I have her at e2 with the x module.

[quick pecan]

you place her at a chokepoint, preferably one that has good tile coverage for her s2. she's pretty much a laneholder.

[livid idol]

who can clear the first vector breakthough in special front (the one with the duelist croc)? currently using mountain but i kinda wanna free him up for other stuff

[azure roost]

@livid idol utage e1

[livid idol]

oh fr

[azure roost]

surely your utage have trust

[livid idol]

i dont think ive ever used utage 😭

[tidal sedge]

Who else do you habe

[narrow patrol]

Actually e2’ed my only crusher guard. That 4 star from cert shop. She actually won vs the crocodile. Somehow. Also invested in Pepe. That S3 may lack range extension but when it hits… lots gonna hurt

That frees up my 2 bigger dps at least. Not sure who I can use to free Zuo Le from the second map tho

XD

Humus is really my only other guard who’s somewhat tanky… for all the good that’ll do vs those 4 red fanatics

[full terrace]

4 Fanatics can be taken care of by Casters

Indigo with good RNG can take care of them

[azure roost]

wt using indigo

waste

i still need to beat area 4 with 4★

god those spam of enemy sand barrier

[livid idol]

jessicalter can beat the fanatics too if you arent gonna use her for main stages

most defenders probably can

[narrow patrol]

I don’t have a lot of ops

Also no I’m not using Shu for obvious reasons XD

[full terrace]

I can imagine. The event is easy for people with developed accounts, but hard for people who dont.

[narrow patrol]

I was able to spare Pepe for that one

But yeah trying to free up Ines is fickingnsuffering

[glass monolith]

All buffs and Kroos alter aimed at daugher

[narrow patrol]

SPo3

Hmmm

Canta is gonna need masteries isn’t she?

[glass monolith]

Depends on what you gonna do

[narrow patrol]

She can’t kill that Sarkaz reliably as it is

The swordsman

[glass monolith]

[glass monolith]

Sir.....

[azure roost]

frd sniper

[full terrace]

Bring your Gravel

[azure roost]

i use professional breeder and vermeil there

[glass monolith]

Fuck that. Gravel +2 shield to infinite stall that potato

[narrow patrol]

Was able to do it. Barely lol

[glass monolith]

BRO JUST S2L7 THORNS

[narrow patrol]

He is S2L7

Oh

Wait

S2

Not 3

[full terrace]

Bro you have limited ops and you waste your Thorns there

Remember there are still stage 5-6-7-8 coming next week

And stage 6-7-8 on the main stages

[glass monolith]

Nah i'd win

[narrow patrol]

Already freed him

My only problem is Zuo Le

DX

[full terrace]

I'm talking about the guy, I'm sure you would

[glass monolith]

I still think consuming gravel is waste because 2 shield fast redeploy is just stall on steroids

[full terrace]

Decently strong Caster?

[narrow patrol]

My only real good six star casters are logos and Nymph

I’d really rather not use them if possible

On SP02

[full terrace]

Eh.. I wouldnt waste either on this stage

[narrow patrol]

Best casters I got after are rock rock and Click

They’re e1 and I tried them

[full terrace]

Click hard to say

[narrow patrol]

Yeah. O

[full terrace]

Need a bit more damage

[narrow patrol]

No

Not gonna make it

[glass monolith]

E2 Indigoed SP02

[full terrace]

How about slightly stronger ground units

[narrow patrol]

Rock rock has damage but the self stun once shed overload ends doesn’t do good

Humus?

[full terrace]

Thats what I suggested

But I think they dont have Indigo

[azure roost]

god

do i hVe to s2m3 beanstalk

jsut to solo stage 3

[narrow patrol]

Quartz was expensive as is (my inly other tanky guard was leasing and frankly Quartz is cheaper)

[full terrace]

Ah.. I'm not a Humus user I cant vouch for him. Ask Minus he could give you an idea

@glass monolith

[narrow patrol]

Need to e2 him in that case tho

E1 is

Well it’s not gonna deal with the fanatics that’s for sure

[azure roost]

its not

i tested it with my e2 70

[narrow patrol]

Oof

I got a

Level 1 indigo

[azure roost]

im still finding other solution

without using indigo

since i need her for last boss stage

[full terrace]

Maybe invest on Indigo yeah

[azure roost]

[full terrace]

But I mean

Indigo can also be used on later stage

Iirc 7

The dilemma

[narrow patrol]

I can free Zuo Le

But is t indigo gacha? I do have an e2 ticket for an4 star

[azure roost]

gacha

[narrow patrol]

I mean her skill can be random

Or so I heard

[full terrace]

Her skill is RNG yea

So you need a bit of RNG

[azure roost]

just roll better

[narrow patrol]

Guess I’m using the e2 ticket then

[glass monolith]

No masteries, but anyways. which stage?

[full terrace]

The 4 Fanatics

Can he even survive

He is not La Pluma 😏

[narrow patrol]

Welp

I got lapluma

[glass monolith]

Damn they have 800 ATK lmao

[narrow patrol]

I’d really rather not raise my 5 stars if possible tho given how fuck off expensive they are

[full terrace]

Pluma is better than Humus

[narrow patrol]

Time to farm some caster chips

[full terrace]

The struggle is real 😂

[lofty stag]

Just use exalter smh 🥱

[narrow patrol]

Who?

[lofty stag]

Execalter

[full terrace]

He has limited ops

[lofty stag]

I was making a joke

[narrow patrol]

Dude

[lofty stag]

Ik

[full terrace]

And I dont think he got Exe

[narrow patrol]

I do not have the roster of a year 1 player

[full terrace]

Bro Exe is new

[narrow patrol]

I’m aware but variety wise

[lofty stag]

And ur tryna do it with indigo

[glass monolith]

Just use Lutonada idk

[full terrace]

Lutonada technology

100/100

[narrow patrol]

What does that rat even do

[lofty stag]

Be depressed

[glass monolith]

Stays there

[lofty stag]

Just like me fr fr

[full terrace]

Indigo can solo clear, just need a bit of RNG

[glass monolith]

Fucking no friend support for SPOs so i can't mess around

[lofty stag]

I would assume at heavy investment, no?

[glass monolith]

His is E1, i have e2 moduled m3

[full terrace]

Dont think so, lemme check rq

[lofty stag]

Cuz if it’s doable with indigo, I can substitute my execalter

[full terrace]

E2 Lv1 SL7 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NvXnYwVzUeY&pp=0gcJCckAaK0XXGki

[lofty stag]

Oh damn

[full terrace]

Well that basically E1 Lv60 SL7

[glass monolith]

#strategy message Doable - yes.

[lofty stag]

Then I’m good

E2 l60 s2m3 mod 3 I think

[full terrace]

Or be like me and just threw some unused 6 Stars at these stages #strategy message

[lofty stag]

My exec is also barely used but it be nice to have him free for the upcoming spo stages

[full terrace]

There are 4 more yeah

[glass monolith]

I feel i gonna regret discarding Manticore on SP4 so soon

[full terrace]

5-6-7 seem easy tho

8 is the annoying Talulah big drone plus cars

Need plenty of Arts

I'd probably just Nymph that one

[glass monolith]

As long as i can keep Kroos combo to nuke daughter again

[full terrace]

Oh freak I forgot I have Degen to throw away

She is mid in IS I never use her

Totally forgotten she exists

[spark sinew]

no wonder, she's unraised

[full terrace]

Yeah I just E2-ed her using voucher back then and shelved her. Definitely gonna throw her away at one of the buff stages next week.

[tidal sedge]

You prefer Ulpi/Mlynar? Tho she used to be the starter pick for IS4 ifirc and people used her there

[full terrace]

Ulpi > Mlynar for me

Degen is good outside IS, but in IS she doesnt benefit off the aspd Relics/buff

[tidal sedge]

Her skin is too good tho, saves her design for me. Definitely getting it and her when she reruns

[full terrace]

Mlynar and Surtr on the other hand, greatly benefit off the aspd Relics/buff e.g. Foldartal Concord. They have much higher damage ceiling depending on their aspd.

Because their dps is per hit

Degen slashes 10ish times

You speed that up, she still slashes 10ish times

Just faster

[tidal sedge]

Haha true, I get it now.

[full terrace]

Yah thats why I default Mlynar and Surtr. One is Physical, one is Arts

And both have niche. Mlynar has taunt, Surtr has immortality.

[full terrace]

There is a use case for her in IS4. Like for example in Sentinel where the device only removes the boss's invulnerability for 5 secs instead of 10 secs like Gardener

Degen and Yato perform wonderfully there

[spark sinew]

wat

degen with atkspd just stalls pretty much everything

[sterile moon]

Full welfare clear. And vigil is E0 Lvl 1. 😂 He's just there to have the dog tank the bind, then he can eat 2 autos
Edit: Also Minimalist needs to get a little lucky on his crits :x

[azure roost]

@full terrace

[full terrace]

Thats a cope. In d15 things hit hard, most of the enemies can 1 or 2 tap your ops, even Shu is having a hard time surviving. The play is generally abusing your ranged dps and kill them before they get too close. Stalling by blocking is the last thing I consider, I only do this when everything else doesnt work, thats why it's Ulpi > Mlynar for me because he has massive HP to serve this purpose. I mean I'm not judging your playstyle, if you wanna think that she is good, be my guest but thats not for me.

[full terrace]

Congrats

[azure roost]

@narrow patrol

ngl i prob need to module luto

on stage 4

[scarlet fulcrum]

Wasted too many good slots smh, will add lv to my fw maybe but wtv

[idle sable]

VEC-SPO 1 to 4 I guess

[idle sable]

Actually Ling able to solo but I just put Lava there for the lulz

[jovial nest]

there's still 4 more garrisons. I wonder if I'm wasting Ling on 4th....

[idle sable]

You can chg it later

If needed

[jovial nest]

i might as well update shit now and save the good stuff for the 6 days from now

[idle sable]

Oooo scene on 3
Imma try that

[spice badge]

R8-8 is beating my ass

[jovial nest]

I think I'll go with this.

I can't imagine using Typhon or Mamiya in the future.

[vernal lion]

Horn and Kal couldn't solo the 4th stage, that really made me mad lol

they gradually increase atk till the end, the caster hits like 2k atk lol

[jovial nest]

i didn't bother using Kal still

cause i want to preserve her in case of the 5th-8th garrisons needing true damage

[vernal lion]

and the hammer dude is like 3k atk bruh

[scarlet fulcrum]

Greyyalt and leizi can duo 4th but greyy too precious. Will see later

[pearl breach]

Do you think ulpi can solo this?

Has anyone with max lvl & mod ulpi try it?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ok leon nice

[civic bear]

he can even with e2 60 modless p1

just gtta squeeze more s3

[jovial nest]

i thought about it

but i don't wanna waste an Ulp

Crushers tend to be solid tanks for non-high-ASPD-physical

[vernal lion]

until he meets the cabybara

[pearl breach]

Found the timing, thanks.

[jovial nest]

I wanted to preserve Ulp for main team purposes

[crude trail]

Hey just thought I’d ask does it matter when I use a ops potential? Can I just use their tokens to upgrade them anytime and it doesn’t matter?

[vernal lion]

yea, they will run no where out of your decision so you can just let them there or use for the op you need right now

[muted egret]

How to beat this?

[vernal lion]

it will be much easier if you have nuker like Wis or simply GG s3 with global ranged attack

but I guess you don't have one

[wicked minnow]

i'd just restart and get gg from support tbh

[lavish mantle]

The choke point is top but there come an enemy that shoots straight at the top most lane so avoid that if u ur units can't tank it

[wary imp]

what are the general strat for spec. fronts?

[muted egret]

???

[wicked minnow]

what's spec. fronts?

[wary imp]

special fronts

bruh

[muted egret]

still don't understand

[wicked minnow]

oh that

[wary imp]

the buff loot thing in VB

[wicked minnow]

it's in the new event

you have ops solo them if you can

stage 4 is a bit harder so people usually use 2-3 units but it can be solo'd

there's enough clears on this channel that you should be able to get an idea

[muted egret]

what's the second part

[wary imp]

hmm

[lavish mantle]

Next week comes the 2nd part but u can always redo the stages with other ops to keep the ones u need for the main stages

[wicked minnow]

mylnar can solo stage 4 as Arflanyr pointed out

but if your account isnt built i'd suggest something else

[lavish mantle]

Ulpipi s3 solos with proper timing

[wary imp]

i cant use support 😐

[elder flume]

Singleplayer experience moment

[wicked minnow]

the first 3 stages can be solo'd by 5* or 4* even. 4th stage isnt that hard either

[azure roost]

[muted egret]

I can barely understand any message here tbh

[azure roost]

its ok

[elder flume]

Trying to 2op and so far Passenger is my best run

[azure roost]

nice

[wary imp]

i dont think its that easy

[wicked minnow]

uhhh, it is though?

[muted egret]

[wicked minnow]

hey man, we all have a different scale on difficulty. i thought it was rather straight forward tbh

[lavish mantle]

Eyy did the same ops for stage 4 too.

[scarlet mortar]

like how you brought hellagur when that stage dies to utage

[wicked minnow]

stage 1 is "who can tank the croc"
stage 2 is "who can tank & kill / kill from ranged the enemies"
stage 3 is "who can deal with the melee enemy fast enough and kill the binder"
stage 4 is "who can deal with this random bullshit of yellow shield and a super buffed aoe caster"

[muted egret]

r u referring to the LT thing?

[wary imp]

may i introduce you to
the roster?

[elder flume]

My Utage is E1 1 since 2021 so shes never getting used

[scarlet mortar]

utage S2 is based though

surtr at home

[muted egret]

never used Utage

[scarlet mortar]

that said she doesn't even need the skill since she outheals the croc's damage anw

[wicked minnow]

La pluma stage 1
not sure stage 2
krooster stage 3 (maybe exu im not sure)
stage 4 can be done with shirayuki pudding and a tank

[scarlet mortar]

with the skill she kills it outright

[wary imp]

hmm noted

[scarlet mortar]

just roll enough RNG and ethan can solo the croc

[wary imp]

s2?

[scarlet mortar]

[wary imp]

nah she ded right away

[scarlet mortar]

uh mine survives

[wicked minnow]

Just use la pluma. you arent gonna be using her for the event anyway

[scarlet mortar]

she's modded ofc

[wary imp]

nah she dead already

s1?

i used s2 tho

[wicked minnow]

la pluma dies??

[wary imp]

e2 l30

[scarlet mortar]

i'm pretty sure there're cheesier options but it shouldn't be that hard

[vernal lion]

so just stack defensive buff for the toughest op on top right at the choke point, build the strong attacker op, and don't let the hammer guys and rocket guys break your defense line and all the walls below

[muted egret]

strongest attacker-sniper or mage?

I tried stacking healers and defs still getting whiped

[wary imp]

it IS that hard with my current ops

[muted egret]

snipers too ofc

[vernal lion]

mage if you don't have strong atk sniper

[muted egret]

tried both

actually...should've tried stacking 5 mages

I had only Amiya

[scarlet mortar]

idk, click S2 turbo or sth

since your ground ops are apparently paper

[wicked minnow]

im not sure but maybe try liskarm s2

[scarlet mortar]

wonder if a levelled cuora survives the croc

[wary imp]

same

skill not even activate

[scarlet mortar]

the healing tile's kinda w/e but eh

[wary imp]

theres a time limit tho

[scarlet mortar]

you win if you survive no

[wary imp]

she cant just "oh heres s2 take that"

[scarlet mortar]

idr how it went

[wary imp]

nope imo

[scarlet mortar]

"imo"

wait so did you find out

[wicked minnow]

you dont win no

i found out because i tried to use heavyrain for stage 2

[scarlet mortar]

[wary imp]

lemme check rq

[azure roost]

omg is that old player

[scarlet mortar]

no

[wary imp]

i dont win yes

[scarlet mortar]

utage needs her mod to survive yh

[wary imp]

...

[scarlet mortar]

sanctuary at 50%

[vernal lion]

tf cuora doing here

[narrow pendant]

Wtf

[scarlet mortar]

E1 cuora

[wary imp]

attempt to block

[scarlet mortar]

clueless

[vernal lion]

1 block is enough

[scarlet mortar]

naga scroll up

[wicked minnow]

try CE s2. my s2m3 barely beats it so slight chance it could work

[wary imp]

barely did it

~1/3 hp left

[scarlet mortar]

i mean i was trying to avoid the 6*s

[wicked minnow]

wait so did you beat it or not?

[scarlet mortar]

since you'll likely need them for -4 and -5

[vernal lion]

the dude with knife can solo iirc

[wary imp]

no

[wicked minnow]

did you place CE on the enraged tile?

[scarlet mortar]

do you have any idea how little that narrows it down

[wary imp]

she might die so no

[wicked minnow]

the difference between CE s2m3 and s2m2 isnt that massive

[wary imp]

it*

[wicked minnow]

she's a bard

[scarlet mortar]

she has regen

[wary imp]

i forgo

[scarlet mortar]

you should've tried anw

[wicked minnow]

also the croc is running so most ranged operators either kill the croc or literally dont have enough time to die

[scarlet mortar]

if it looks stupid but it works, it works

[wary imp]

ok i did it

1 down

[wicked minnow]

les go

[scarlet mortar]

-2 is a goldenglow sweep but you.... might need her for main stages

[wary imp]

yeah

as for -3 i might need krooster tho

[azure roost]

ye jaye just kek it

so utage

[elder flume]

A higher Jaye can do stage 2

[scarlet mortar]

pov low def enemy

[vernal lion]

I like how 1 duelist croc doesn't matter much until op blocking 2 or more of duelist crocs and get another stack of def debuff

[scarlet mortar]

shrimply block only one

bros said they were duelists

[deploys zuo le]

[vernal lion]

reason I know this because of that anni

[azure roost]

[lavish mantle]

[wary imp]

whats left is this fkin stage

[scarlet fulcrum]

There is 4 more in few days :clueless:

[vernal lion]

ugh, just Ifrit it?

[wary imp]

forget that, imma just do the first ones

[wary imp]

dont have

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just sacrifice SA or GG, or put more effort on ur pluma. Where did u deploy her

tbh u can decide to swap them later "anytime"

Or just clear each for rewards/medal

The most important buff on 4th stage iirc, so ye whatever

[lavish mantle]

Or ambriel

[scarlet fulcrum]

That means raising new ops, if they willing for that. There plenty option yea. I think jessicat doable there

[wary imp]

ok

[scarlet fulcrum]

Clear it first for medal and exp still

[celest bluff]

Skadi slv7
No mod

[azure roost]

pro

[narrow patrol]

The status impunity is kinda needed anyway

Since rosmontis’ new claymores can and WILL kill you otherwise (stuns you, then explodes instantly killing stunned ops)

[narrow patrol]

Uhhh you may wanna consider switching someone else for logos buddy

[lavish mantle]

Wouldn't hurt to redo stage 4 if u need logos, but if u need him.

[narrow patrol]

Unless you got so many ops that’s not an issue I take?

[narrow pendant]

Walter can solo every stage except 8th

If u got the roster, it dont matter what ops u use in the support stages

[narrow patrol]

Fair

I got a small roster tho so I had to think of something

XD

Pepe S3 actually comes clutch there

Oh no this edemolishers are about to attack

Yeah get stunned

[elder flume]

Its mostly caster problem
Weedy just gets 1 shot when cooldown

[vernal lion]

yea funny 2k atk

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ok this acc has jessicat, very doable

good thing i raised her there 💀

[vernal lion]

I think bro want to save her for later

[scarlet fulcrum]

Can swap anytime

If bro need brick just use their raised e1 smt smt

[azure roost]

pro

[wary imp]

did it with gg, but nah i dont need +def

so i unbuffed that stage

[narrow pendant]

:glueless:

[scarlet fulcrum]

If the option to sacrifice SA GG and jessicat, kinda whatever tbh

SA also fine (this fanatic walk to bottom)

[wary imp]

hmm

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just prio the impactful buff thats it

Its fine don't mind that

[wary imp]

i'd sacrifice jessalter

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can recall her anytime later anyway

[celest bluff]

Better?

[vernal lion]

pluma s2m3 without mod

idk if level did matter much but pretty sure it will

[celest bluff]

Max level?

[scarlet fulcrum]

I think that guy has no mastery on her, but yea maybe no need. Its positioning issue tbh

[vernal lion]

ofc, comparing to lv 30, that would be 50-60 atk lost

not to say it's m3

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its worth skill to mastery anyway so

[wicked minnow]

i sacrificed aurora 😔

[scarlet fulcrum]

Nice

💪

[wicked minnow]

she was a real one

[scarlet fulcrum]

Rare usage

[azure roost]

[vocal leaf]

no, exalt can solo this

[willow sun]

pot6 canta loses 4 dp on first deploy + retreat

1. use s2m3 once for all 18 ammo and that's 14 net dp, either all at once on an elite (and plop someone down to help her out) or over time while killing trash, either way no leak
2. 30s redeploy time to reposition or just keep her on board for another 25s (now behind cover)
   fang alt saves 2 dp on next deploy, initial deploy cost doesn't matter
3. use s2m3 either use to snipe an elite and gain essentially 4 dp or farm a few trash (2 each), with 4 trash she'll gain 10 dp relatively quickly, around 5 seconds in my experience -- idk about s1m3, i'm not a huge fan of the downtime it has (sometimes she snipes her own kill off-skill and loses out on dp gain, also 1 block ew), it definitely does very well on drip feed trash though
4. 60s redeploy time, you usually deploy her twice a stage on s2 or once on s1
   conclusion: i like using both, fang alt falls off hard if theres no enemies while canta is a bit more flexible, canta generates dp consistently regardless of stage (low pressure = less dp but also low pressure = no enemies to worry about, high pressure = more dp and more dp = handle high pressure) whereas fang alt needs good knowledge of the stage to do well or you just use her as a shitty frd assassin that also generates some dp on s2

[wispy condor]

excellent analysis i do agree chargers need you to be aware that theres trash for them to kill and make dp with. agents are more comfortable because you can just toss them against anything that stays still for a bit or a weak wave (same use case as chargers, really) and get dp per hit

[celest bluff]

Well too bad, I already took him out

[willow sun]

i only have lots of experience with fang alt regarding chargers (others like wild mane/vigna i've used just not as much), but i'd say her increased block count + hit count on s2 along with being a helidrop is a step in the right direction for the archetype, it leans into them being a front line problem solver that does their best to just hold the line until you get troops down, agents like canta just try to generate dp as fast as possible to call for help (aspd) whereas ines just binds them because fuck you i'm not done farming dp off of you yet

[surreal star]

vigil s2 analysis when

[willow sun]

2 dee pee???

idk i dont have vigil

[surreal star]

honestly i wish they would make it activate when it’s already charged but make the effect not stack

vulpis s1 has the same problem where she just stops generating dp when there’s no enemies

[wispy condor]

would say my daily vanguard selection is some combination of flametail s3/wanqing s1/chilchuck s1/wildmane s1. stage dependent

[wicked minnow]

my daily vanguard selection is ines on main and wildmane/kestrel on alt. my conclusion on vanguards is that ines is the only good one and it genuinely doesnt matter what vanguard you choose as long as you deploy other classes to beat the stage for you

[wispy condor]

will forever drill in the point that running the same 12 ops for everything isnt worth fighting through. swap operators in if you see them being useful

pulled ines from orienteering earlier today so i foresee ines s2 making it into my rotation

[willow sun]

for the last 3 months mine has been fang alt s2m3 + canta s2m3, i usually just use one but when i do use both they syngergize pretty well, canta can help weaken trash and gen dp while fang (with the higher dph) finishes them off and gens even more dp, then for elites fang has +40% def so she's decently tanky, and with 1.5k dph she can kill quite a few elites, all the while canta will be right behind her farming dp off the tanky elite
sometimes i draft both in IS5 (don't kill me) because its genuinely a fun combo

[wicked minnow]

vanguards have this problem where they are mostly used on a want-basis where you just want a vanguard for more dp to make your life easier. when they enter the need basis like cc it just feels kinda forced. like in both situations i dont like vanguards since their either a.) useless or QoL at best or b.) absolutely necessary for you to live

[celest bluff]

I used to do chapter 8 with pioneer

[willow sun]

i got like 11 canta pots (seriously) before i got ines
i might as well use both

[celest bluff]

Fell off

[vocal leaf]

as long as you solo it, doro and pozy are a waste there

[willow sun]

idk why but i don't find pioneer archetype enjoyable, then again i dont have one e2 yet so

[celest bluff]

We don't use Ines because we need DP

We use Ines because she have invisible reveal and fast deploy

[willow sun]

questionable take

[wicked minnow]

that would mean scene is OP surely

[wispy condor]

did 44 pulls, did get bluebagged twice came out of it up 1 ines, +1 pots for cantabile/bassline

[wicked minnow]

she has invis reveal, summons that have 5 second timer to deploy, and a slow on her summons

[wispy condor]

we use ines because she does all of the above And dp regen

[willow sun]

i think i blew 90 pulls to get one of each, now my stupid logos is pot4

[vocal leaf]

i want logos pot4

[wispy condor]

got siege/saga at e2, flametail to be joining them fairly soon. i find pioneers fun but i certainly see an angle where they just feel like worse guards

i want logos

[willow sun]

his pots are like 3% gains
i don't even notice them

[vocal leaf]

i don’t care, give me that, want him to be the best

[willow sun]

fair point
pot3 for qiubai suzu team trust

[vocal leaf]

should i switch? 1 6star vs 2 5stars

[wispy condor]

siege + myrtle setup works, siege has the best vanguard stats to take advantage of hp regen and her talent funnels sp towards myrtle
saga is better if i want to funnel sp towards someone else
flametail gets block3, has the best combat of the three

[wispy condor]

dont see an angle for using greyy or tinman against rosmontis, go for it

[willow sun]

who do you guys have garrisoned for the second one?

[vocal leaf]

i used qani

[wicked minnow]

2nd one i used valarqvin. aurora on main

also 2 5* is cooler fr fr. nice clear

[willow sun]

im trying to get tequila to work but i dont have any pots on him

rn im running CE, qiubai, gladiia, fedex left to right

-# i know what youre about to say shileds, don't question it

[wicked minnow]

yeah

lazy ass mf

[willow sun]

i havent had the time pls understand 🥹

[wicked minnow]

[willow sun]

ill go do it right now in fact

dead week

i have class in 4 hours but priorities are priorities

[wicked minnow]

yessir, we are in fact in a dead week, im gonna go get lavalter

[willow sun]

[wicked minnow]

never had an excuse to get her. already have her built on main. experienced first hand how ass she is already

i dont wanna experience it a second time bro 🥹

[willow sun]

oh right you have an** alt

[wicked minnow]

she's so fucking ass 😭

[willow sun]

i only got her to pair with wis in CC cycle

[vocal leaf]

where? second one?

[vernal lion]

alright now

might try to do 1 class only too

[vocal leaf]

supporters only

no summoners allowed

[tidal sedge]

Penance

[elder flume]

Mostima

[tidal sedge]

Used her on the 4th with Zuo

Tho maybe I'll free Zuo

[vocal leaf]

use a chain casters

[tidal sedge]

Forgot they existed lmao

Poor Passenger

[vocal leaf]

with mosti even pudding should work

[elder flume]

ye i used Weedy Passenger

[vocal leaf]

my first clear was passenger and pudding, then solo exalt and then greyalt tinman

trying to use only male ops

[willow sun]

yeah

[willow sun]

i’m seeing the vision
CE first stage
Valarqvin second stage
Virt third stage
Ange fourth stage?

idk how the fourth stage enemies work, ik their def and atk are juiced up but what about their hp?

[elder flume]

50k hp caster

[full terrace]

4th one is the hardest, 2nd hardest is 8th

5-6-7 are as easy as 1 and 2

You can spend your resources on 4

[willow sun]

really? i just spent fedex on 4 and was surprised he could solo it but didn’t think too much of it

idk enough about supporter to come up with a non-summon clear then

[full terrace]

Yah I just went to check 5-6-7-8's layout. They are easy except 8

8 needs a lot of aerial firepower

[willow sun]

everything’s ok 🥹

[wicked minnow]

1 single pixel

wow

[willow sun]

if he’s alive he’s alive

that’s all i care about

(i’m a good dokutah i swear)

here’s where i’m at now, i’m too dumb to come up with a good strategy for 3rd stage with my current ops

[azure roost]

gaming

honestly u can lower 3rd with 1 op

[willow sun]

i could also just stick with gladiia solo but 6* lame

[azure roost]

idk ops u have doe

[willow sun]

my krooster should be up to date

minus ines

lemme go update it actually

ok updated now ya

[azure roost]

mmm

[terse sierra]

how did executor alter survive

[azure roost]

dies

idk if e1 beanstalk can handle

stage 3

no jaye for other option on it

no krooster

to solo it

[willow sun]

wait for first s3 charge, use until only 2 shield guys are left, cancel early, don’t use second s3 charge until last 3 enemies are within range, pray for some ok rng

[terse sierra]

thanks

[azure roost]

god ur 6★ unraised

[willow sun]

does krooster just stun the caster out of the animation before she gets stunned herself?

[azure roost]

[willow sun]

i started like 6 months ago

[azure roost]

pro

[willow sun]

pls understand i’m baby 🥹

[azure roost]

do mine tyty

[willow sun]

do ur what

[azure roost]

honestly nice acc

[willow sun]

yea i got really spoiled with the recent banners, though i noticeably missed out on eyjaberry and shu banners

[azure roost]

thats fine

[willow sun]

i’m gonna spark shu but i’ll just cope no eyja

[azure roost]

fuck i forgot

to e2 vivi and m9 her

[willow sun]

[wicked minnow]

huh, nice 6*s bro acc has a stronger account than me

[willow sun]

ainnoway

[azure roost]

@willow sun some mats gonna lower on m9

[wicked minnow]

i sometimes like to be a little quirky and actively avoid meta units

the only thing i have over you is that i have a fully maxed narantuya

[willow sun]

i have quite a few m6 myself, i understand the struggle

[willow sun]

that’s what i planned on doing after wis but the game just kept feeding me (and every other newbie) stacked banners

[azure roost]

@willow sun 16m back to 14.7m lmd

[azure roost]

expected

[willow sun]

i’m down to 2k lmd don’t even get me started

[azure roost]

ngl this my first e2

of this month

[willow sun]

who else do you not have e2?

[vernal lion]

kill before get killed

[azure roost]

i have 100+ e2s honestly i stopped counting

[willow sun]

[azure roost]

i only e2 for base or ops i like

[willow sun]

i’ve been sticking to 4/month but i don’t think i can keep up anymore

i’ve cleared all IS, RA, and SSS rewards already

i can’t stop playing arknights!!!!

[azure roost]

i cleared ra2

@willow sun how far ur rn

[willow sun]

[azure roost]

[azure roost]

[willow sun]

[azure roost]

nice

ngl finish ur e1 ops

or just e1 max lvl em

[willow sun]

i’m done with all adverse and H but i haven’t had time to do CM past ch2

[azure roost]

then prio the one you e2ing

[willow sun]

which? a lot i keep for base and e1 max is for is5

current e2 prio is ines > naran > mosti

[azure roost]

mmm

[willow sun]

after that idk, stainless gnosis?

i have decent options

[azure roost]

@willow sun then lumen

[smoky halo]

wtf baby account

[azure roost]

other than that 6★ you choose on ur roster

so ines>naran>mosti>lumen and etc

[willow sun]

idk if i’ll go for lumen at all, i have CE s3m3, silence e2 max mod3 s3m3, saria s1m3, gladiia modx3 for ulpp, and ofc upcoming shu

silence also has funny aspd scaling for is shenanigans

[smoky halo]

nop l*men sucks not cute 🤫

[willow sun]

you’re biased 😡

[full terrace]

I'm setting Mlynar free

[azure roost]

kek

[wicked minnow]

huh, so i wasnt wrong about zuo le. the guy i recommended it to just didnt try hard enough

[willow sun]

mlynar can solo?

[wicked minnow]

yes

[willow sun]

tbf it is e2 max

maybe theirs was e2 60? idk

[full terrace]

Mlynar can solo yes. It was my initial clear. His timing is not that hard to find.

I think I found his timing in like 3 tries.

[ornate orchid]

This event not for newbie

[willow sun]

woaw good job mlynar

god fucking mlynar and his timings reminds me of trying to duo 14-18 with mlynar exe

i think it took me 60 tries

[full terrace]

There #strategy message

[vernal lion]

that is basically every event tho

[willow sun]

wow it’s like it was made for him

[ornate orchid]

I can’t even clear any buff. Somehow managed to finish stage 5

[willow sun]

just time the dude to edge the blue box and the stage completes itself after that

[willow sun]

qiubai can solo the first 2 stages, duo third stage, idk about fourth

[ornate orchid]

Uhh I reckon my qiubai can’t

[willow sun]

mlynar can solo stage 4 like arf showed but yours is e2 45 and idk if you wanna give him up lol

[wicked minnow]

also not m3

[willow sun]

my qiubai only 15 levels higher and mod2, she easily clears first and second stage so i dont think it’ll change

[full terrace]

I was actually waiting for 1155 Atk, but the dude was about to leak so I had no choice but to activate his skill

[willow sun]

oh yeah 1155 atk def not e2 60

i know from memory e2 60 maxes at 1101

[ornate orchid]

Need mastery on S3 I think. Otherwise mob gets to melee range

[willow sun]

hm let me try finding a no mastery no mod qiubai and test it

wait nvm can’t support unit special front

kinda forgot that

[azure roost]

@willow sun 💀

[willow sun]

i don’t get it what’s happening in that screenshot

it’s 5 am cut me some slack lol

[vernal lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEoOPVPgtp0

[willow sun]

wisadel and ela
i’ve seen enough

[vernal lion]

the meta duo now fr

[willow sun]

ela handles trash, slow/cc, fragile, can block in emergencies
wis summons infinite ranged attack sponges, consistent slow coverage with 3 shadows, s3, enough said

pretty busted combo

[azure roost]

ok done jp

[smoky halo]

dalao

i have to do mine too

🥹

[willow sun]

no deepcolor skin 😔

[smoky halo]

u should rate my jp account

🤫

[willow sun]

i rate it shota/twink

[smoky halo]

???

[willow sun]

would you prefer it the other way around

[smoky halo]

[willow sun]

anyways i sleep now ya

[azure roost]

[full terrace]

Seen enough of Wis+Ela? How about Logos+Shu #strategy message

[vernal lion]

that is why you need 4th buff if you don't want Ros oneshot your op with VTE

[leaden sierra]

On this stage can you kill the 2 drones with robots or 2*s? Kroos can do it while under the buff, but beyond that I'm out of ideas.

Anyone got max pot PhonoR-0 I can borrow? That may still not be enough tho...

[elder flume]

mine is only P5

[leaden sierra]

tysm, I just wanna see if it'll be close enough to procing necrosis.

[elder flume]

Rainchan#5392

its up

[glass monolith]

May I ask why you trying to uh... Whatever you doing with main stages? It won't lock used operators

[leaden sierra]

Sadly they just walk away with a little bit left. P6 and maybe Angelina could help, but at that point might aswell use Ange. Still thx a bunch.

[leaden sierra]

Nothing much Zuo Le can solo the other 4 except this one since he can't hit air. Was trying to robot strat it.

I'll just wait for better buffs in 5 days.

[fair estuary]

What unit is that?

[glass monolith]

Crab Musha, Indigo, Kroos alter (S1?), Executor alter

[azure roost]

s2

just let her ramp up on sarkaz swordman

then she killed caster

[glass monolith]

Oh she out range caster

[maiden hound]

what level she on

[glass monolith]

I won't use her for that stage because she is waifu and has Rosmontis to kill

[vernal lion]

wdym, the binding range is 3 tiles, same as marksmen tho

[azure roost]

e2 should be fine
idk about e1 doe

[maiden hound]

hmm alright

[glass monolith]

Laughts in square root of 10 (3+1 diagonal)

[elder flume]

When my range is edge of square but my hitbox is half a square

[vernal lion]

yes, gamble the stun to interrupt its ability

let me find a failed example

lucky bitch

almost lost

fellow valarqvin connoisseur. i see you have also found the spot for her

[smoky halo]

@azure roost rate my JP account

‼️

[celest bluff]

Can we use Firewatch?

[wicked minnow]

firewatch should be free, ye

oh nvm she kinda doesnt

maybe a higher level mine is not max

[vernal lion]

cheers friends

[opal forge]

Guys any suggestions?

[vernal lion]

that looks tough tho, you don't have any idea op for sp 3

[wicked minnow]

tf is this selection of units 😭

[opal forge]

Well I already win the sp3 by using shu and click but that cost me shu :((

I don't think I can afford to lose logos ela and shu

because I already give away mlynar

[full terrace]

My alt is spending Gladiia so early

RIP Ulpi/Gladiia combo

[opal forge]

use jaye instead

[full terrace]

I know how operators work, my alt just didnt raise any low stars.

[narrow pendant]

Did u know jaye is a greedy bitch that eats your dp

Did u know kroos prios air units

[vernal lion]

did you know...

[narrow pendant]

The true and first 7* op

🥹

[azure roost]

anyeone can test

VEC-04SP

with hoe s2

having atk+ pots

since without potted hoe

i cant kill last 3

idk if having pots will work doe

almost ded doe

all 3

idk if attack pots will make difference on it

[azure roost]

they have like 1/8 hp on my hoe s2 solo

[full terrace]

Hah I see why some people chose Exe alt for the 4th. He is comfy

[azure roost]

almost ded

dies

[vernal lion]

45 atk pot with 40% buff from s2, that is just 63 more atk

[celest bluff]

Use kaltsit to kill Ros

[vernal lion]

idk if that matters much

[glass monolith]

[elder flume]

Pepe should be able to solo

[vernal lion]

like she can bruh

[full terrace]

RIP alt spending Goldenglow this early

[tidal sedge]

Shu Masterpiece, what a smooth and well coordinated clear.

[full terrace]

Yeah well.. Shu, Eyja, and Ulpi are the bane of Damazti

[tidal sedge]

Hope they outdo H12-4, would be fun.

[vernal lion]

this clear smells like Tums

[tidal sedge]

Nah it's not theirs, check description

[wicked minnow]

i was looking at 10-11 tweaking a little thinking about how the adverse is so ass to do as welfare only and the only clears even on arkrec are an 8 op and a 12 op

[pearl breach]

Has anyone managed to clear stage 4 with dorothy??

[azure roost]

it is

just manage ur mines

[pearl breach]

Mines only deal a tiny dmg to those three.

[tidal sedge]

After 10ish tries, finally got a good run at D15 and cleared Ed2.

Now only Ed3 left.

[full terrace]

IS5 I assume

[azure roost]

roll crit mines

focus on middle

[full terrace]

IS4 Ending 3 is massively annoying

[azure roost]

since caster issue on hp

[tidal sedge]

Yes, I don't wanna bother with IS4

[full terrace]

My Dorothy in the era of broken ops 😏

[limpid ore]

skin is hot

[wicked minnow]

i like her e2 more

[wicked minnow]

someone remind me about this in like a year when i have my ops leveled

i feel like the stage can be 6 or even 5 welfares

[smoky halo]

you need to grind rng

u need a bunch of crits

🚬

i think if u have pot5 u can skip the rng 🚬

[pearl breach]

The said RNG.

[wicked minnow]

a 1 in 15625

[smoky halo]

you dont need 6 crits in a row

🚬

[azure roost]

roll better

[willow sun]

is pot3 enough?

[azure roost]

try it

[willow sun]

wait stat pots are usually pot4

[azure roost]

all 3 almost ded

[willow sun]

do you have s2m3?

[azure roost]

on my m9 90 mod 3

[willow sun]

i don’t

[azure roost]

hoe

[willow sun]

oh yeah i don’t have s2m3

[azure roost]

on VEC-SPEC04 solo

balls

[willow sun]

my hoe is s3m3 mod3 e260

i just have pots for some reason

[azure roost]

not enough

need damage on lvls

urgh

[willow sun]

feed me lmd

you have 14.7m

share some with me

[azure roost]

my friend sarkaz player ded rn

[willow sun]

[azure roost]

so i cant test it for him

[azure roost]

no

farm it urself

[willow sun]

my base workers stink

i only get like 60-65k average daily

[azure roost]

judt dont e2

ez

[pearl breach]

Pray that they fix pepe combo, for tp.

[willow sun]

i don’t even have peipei

[azure roost]

my base slave nor even optimized

some unit combo not built

because im lazy

[willow sun]

i just have team a6 with fang alt, exe scene for vermeil, quartz proviso, e2 teq sham + e0 diamante

rest is just whatever 30% gremlins i can get my hands on

[azure roost]

my dorory @pearl breach

[pearl breach]

🛐

[azure roost]

i can p6 her ngl

but eh

i still havent bought shop specialist royal token

[willow sun]

isn’t that p4

oh

nvm just saw message underneath

[azure roost]

[leaden sierra]

Tried it a few minutes ago. P0, you don't need crits or anything just CC the dudes and make some mines explode in the caster's range.

[azure roost]

thats why i said focus on middle

for caster to get hit

crits make it easier

[willow sun]

wtfart pot0

clear special front with 0 ops

[crisp bolt]

once I get my luto s2m3: rat gaming

[full terrace]

Why not let Doro solo the 4th

[crisp bolt]

cause I was too lazy to figure out who to do 3rd

[maiden hound]

hmm
can e1max delphine clear the second special stage

[glass monolith]

Ashlock for third?

[crisp bolt]

my ashlock was doing 0 damage

[limpid ore]

maybe i could use robin

will the bind from caster stop when her new talent from module proc?

[weak gazelle]

shift them would trigger atk cancelation yeah

[limpid ore]

her new talent from module make her goes camo when being hit

not her s2 man

[weak gazelle]

oh she goes camo...
then she wouldnt trigger it

cause in my word bind is dmg overtime

[pearl breach]

Firewatch s1?

[crisp bolt]

for rats

[pearl breach]

Oh

[weak gazelle]

after bind done she trigger camo

[crisp bolt]

if I wanted to, I could gg solo it

[limpid ore]

man, the camo doesnt stop the bind man

[past stone]

omg flametail works on first one??

s1 right?

[crisp bolt]

no s3

if you cope dodge enough

[limpid ore]

this is fraud man

[past stone]

oh 🥹

[limpid ore]

[weak gazelle]

ofc it doesnt

[past stone]

i did 5 tries with her and gave up

[crisp bolt]

don't ask how many attempts I did to get it to work I was about ready to get the mod I shit on

[limpid ore]

would be interesting if it does

man

[crisp bolt]

was about to cope modx on her

[full terrace]

I tried to cope Flametail with my alt as well

[limpid ore]

apparently the camo does trigger on first time the bind apply but it still continue

[full terrace]

Gave up after 2nd try

[limpid ore]

[full terrace]

And went Gladiia

[limpid ore]

the more you know

[full terrace]

That alt has Eyjaberry anyway, aint need no Gladiia

[weak gazelle]

uhhh
how do i say it
in theory yeah camo trigger, but the function of camo itself are nullified

[crisp bolt]

turns out jesscat s3 can solo all the mooks

sadly she gets deleted by caster

[limpid ore]

so the bind caster doesnt really care whether you are invisible or camouflaged by the time they target you

tried again with ines s2

it's funny experiment

[weak gazelle]

its more to bind gimmick itself
its tick based skill

[limpid ore]

i wonder if this work the other way around
say, using mech-accord drone with lock on, or logos s2, then the target for some reason goes invisible, what will happen?

[weak gazelle]

idr if the bind caster atk is snapshot one or normal one

[leaden sierra]

Is it worth finding someone else for 2nd so that tentacles can do 3rd?

[limpid ore]

the good of arknight, testing bunch of random theory to see if they work or not

[weak gazelle]

if lock on the drone simply change target

[azure roost]

[azure roost]

ambriel or indigo

[leaden sierra]

Great, I'm using 4* E2 thing on Ambriel.

[azure roost]

specter guard works too but need to be higher lvl than 60

[leaden sierra]

S2 M3?

I still think it is cheaper to build a 4* then to get M3...

[weak gazelle]

already have her e2
so mastery goes to mandatory teritory (well if use her a lot)

[azure roost]

yap

just go to indigo

e2 40 enough

or less than that

have fun on rng doe

[leaden sierra]

See, this is much better, I rather gamble

[smoky halo]

🚬

[weak gazelle]

its ok
it just i saw e2 specter and not s2m3
its like you waste half of the resources already for nothing

[crisp bolt]

I'm having way too much fun with this event

[azure roost]

scene

[crisp bolt]

Lens my beloved

[azure roost]

wer placement

[weak gazelle]

hmm?
what placement?

[leaden sierra]

Nothing that rng can't solve.

[azure roost]

oh seems me ded prob saw diff message

zooki

[scarlet mortar]

surely S1 Ymod solos that

with less difficulty i mean

[azure roost]

i use this

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/669489344658014208/1354400701098365039/Screenshot_20250326-182406.jpg?ex=67e52772&is=67e3d5f2&hm=3fcc236a65ed753be1a41e07483c1c3120ea48d679e50ec0b41c01e0a6ad7402&

[leaden sierra]

Yeah, takes like 2-3 tired with X. So I'm guessing Y should be easier

[scarlet mortar]

oh if you did it with Xmod already then don't bother

Ymod has less damage

it's just better for survival

[leaden sierra]

It is, I usually use it with skill 3. Otherwise the 20% slow is too good to pass up.

[teal tangle]

Anyone got anymore ideas... Tryna use only 2 ops under 6*

[crisp bolt]

[limpid ore]

fucking discord lagging when i switch to other apps

[spark sinew]

try leizi perhaps

stronger onskill, higher duration

[leaden sierra]

You can stall the caster with shaw. (S2)

[wicked minnow]

does your astgenne survive 1 hit? from the caster or is it a oneshot?

[teal tangle]

one shot both pudding and astgenne

[wicked minnow]

i think tin-man astgenne should work for a duo

my tin-man gets oneshot which shouldnt be the case once leveled i think

if you have a higher level tin-man can you test it?

[strange hazel]

my sol was ||greyy pudding ambriel||

but yeah two op is hard

maybe pudding ethan?

[wicked minnow]

wouldnt pudding die to the yellow shield guys and you'd basically be praying the whole run

praying for ethan to just hard carry

[strange hazel]

yeah pudding doesn’t do enough

[scarlet mortar]

silvergun had the same iirc

||think it was someone other than ambriel but yh||

[crisp bolt]

just say no to dying

[strange hazel]

when I saw the stage greyy was 100% my first thought because of the huge rush, ambriel was anti caster tech

I theorize pudding + max firewhistle could maybe do it?

[crisp bolt]

can pudding solo the shield guys?

[scarlet mortar]

nah

the stage's pretty stat-bloated

[crisp bolt]

not sure if you're going to get enough out of firewhistle before the caster starts moving

[wicked minnow]

other than maxed tin-man astgenne, i feel like max medicmiya + like bibeak works

[leaden sierra]

Horn S1 is so close, feels bad man.

[wicked minnow]

damn 😔

[scarlet mortar]

wouldn't call that close considering how fat those beefcakes are

[crisp bolt]

I've been messing around with medicmiya but I haven't really found a way where I can save her s2 till later

[scarlet mortar]

ok hear me out
