[ocean ether]

video if anyone needs.

Important thing is to deploy senshi first, and time his S2 to end just as marcille finish casting her first part. That gives enough SP to marcille to start the 2nd chant.

[tiny moat]

how hard is this new event?

[rotund fern]

Just finished Ed3 is5, can i hunt for ed4 now? Or it Will come in next month?

[scarlet mortar]

undoable if you're a new player

[opal anvil]

dem marcel strong wut

[scarlet mortar]

somewhat above average diff otherwise

[tiny moat]

im not a new player so i think i have a good fighting chance

[pure orchid]

10 ROCKS 🤯

@full terrace you cant touch this

[scarlet mortar]

12 when

[opal anvil]

all musha no prob 1v1, op summoner, and very close last stage

[full terrace]

Lol congrats

I got 11 before

But nowadays I just farm 10-6

[pure orchid]

Bro did in fact touch this...

Now 11, idt i can touch that

This is pretty satisfying

[languid thistle]

Any tips on beating frostleaf 4-10

[leaden sierra]

Horn can do it with a little help at the end.

[pure orchid]

This is taking forever 💀

[full terrace]

Muelsyse?

[glass monolith]

Won't he explode to 2k damage caster when it move?

[pure orchid]

Caster just got shifted

He exploded to fat boy

Holy shit this is gonna be so based hollu;

[ocean ether]

i think this is good enough for me

[pure orchid]

Welp, this is where i should s3m3 marcille

[ocean ether]

I just use S2

[pure orchid]

I mean tru but s3 is much more dramatic

Lee just holds everything

And then marcille arrives to clean everything up

[pure orchid]

Frieren

[full terrace]

Ah I thought you were talking about Arknights

Fern > Frieren btw

Moreso in the chest area

[pure orchid]

Blasphemous ahh individual

[ocean ether]

how bad are the next 4?

[pure orchid]

You gon start a war

[glass monolith]

Remember his message and report him to mods for leaking if collab ever happens

[full terrace]

HAHAHAHAHA 100/100

[pure orchid]

If thats the price to pay for a Frieren collab, im willing to be the sacrifice...

[willow sun]

add another one ya

ignore the fact he has literally a millisecond left on his skill i wasn’t nervous at all

[ocean ether]

hmmm is it a good idea to sacrifice mudrock early?

[full terrace]

Depends on your roster. If you have only a small number of 6 Stars, dont. If you do, go ahead.

[ocean ether]

*looks at roster Is this small?

[limpid ore]

well, you can redo it later day

[scarlet mortar]

small roster fr

[full terrace]

No need to ping me for this. You should know whether thats small or big

[ocean ether]

Do I sacrifice ascalon or mudrock for 2nd stage, ascalon was honestly annoying to setup with RNG

[scarlet mortar]

this should be a 2op but i'm stupid

[full terrace]

"Mother of overkill" - cyanine, 2025

[scarlet mortar]

real

it's basically 2op buffless smh

i just have to use doro's mines better

[ocean ether]

is it just me, or is your timer 0:00

[limpid ore]

time goes to 0 once stage is cleared

[ocean ether]

or does the timer not matter and you can exceed it?

oh

[limpid ore]

just once perfect screenshot

[willow sun]

sacrifice tequila

[ocean ether]

wait what? There is a pepe solo for sp04? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Aw5jZ1sWJI

[willow sun]

sp04 can be soloed by:
mlynar
pepe
fedex
ulpianus
zuo le

and probably wisadel ofc but that’s lame

i don’t actually know about logos, maybe he can

[tired eagle]

Ling

[full terrace]

Ling as well

[pure orchid]

sounds like schizo slow rng + s3 timing

[scarlet mortar]

stunlock gaming

[pure orchid]

ling is the old wis, ofc she'd solo

[full terrace]

I remember someone posting a Ling 4th before

In this channel

[willow sun]

yeah he can

took me 2 tries to find timing, even faster than arf with mlynar

[willow sun]

actually wasn’t too rng

[pure orchid]

damn

i wanna try

[full terrace]

I wouldnt even spend Ulpi on 4th let alone Logos

[pure orchid]

locking logos is gonna be bad, but theory is fun

[full terrace]

We still got 5-6-7-8 remember

[willow sun]

aside from ling who are you personally sacrificing?

i’m indecisive between fedex and mlynar tbh

[full terrace]

I find Mlynar more useful but thats just me lol

[willow sun]

idk he’s just another dps to add to my list of nukers for rosmo

maybe i just have too much dps

[full terrace]

He has 4k HP and has Taunt. That can be useful in certain situation

Considering we have 7k HP Ulpi offskill, 4k is a lot.

I dont like Exe, coz he is unhealable 😏

[pure orchid]

I did lee marcille and im happy

[willow sun]

fair i guess

i wonder if mosti can

[pure orchid]

Highly doubt

[full terrace]

Mosti can stall but does she have the dps tho?

[willow sun]

oh it doesn’t last as long as i thought nvm

[pure orchid]

Well maybe lee mosti s2

[full terrace]

Lee Mosti maybe can yeah

[willow sun]

hoederer + gravel can duo

[pure orchid]

Nope its zuo le gravel tech

[willow sun]

nop gravel got optimized out trust

[pure orchid]

🚬

[willow sun]

it’s just zuo le tech now (pressing his buttons)

[pure orchid]

He can press my buttons

[willow sun]

[narrow pendant]

I didnt say that, u can

🥹

[pure orchid]

[narrow pendant]

I'll never be mad at my hubby

[pure orchid]

Im getting that notarized

[willow sun]

my experience is pull on wis > get hoederer
pull on mlynar zuo JO > get hoederer
pull on degen asca JO > get hoederer
pull on orienteering > would’ve gotten hoederer but i chose eben instead

[pure orchid]

Get hoed u hoe

[willow sun]

[narrow pendant]

Big buff man likes u

[willow sun]

gimme better buff man ulpenis pots instead

[narrow pendant]

Nuh uh hoe s3 has more total dmg
So shurely that means hoe >

[willow sun]

ulpp s2 have infinite dmg per skill

not even close

[crisp bolt]

Wait pepe does work? Man guess I have skill issue then

I tried it earlier and I wasn't able to deal with the caster

[full terrace]

More like resource issue

[narrow pendant]

I cant believe i really raised pepe and all and not used her once

Someone wants her? I'll trade for 30 pulls🥹

[pure orchid]

No thanks i already have my own cat 🥱

[narrow pendant]

I literaly did 120 pulls in hopes for tuya

🥹

[full terrace]

I did 300 pulls for Tuya

[pure orchid]

You got her tho

[full terrace]

Shush

[narrow pendant]

Got this dumbass cat twice, ray dupe and idek what

[narrow pendant]

As an off banner on a banner i was going to skip🥹

[pure orchid]

Oh

[narrow pendant]

used only free pulls tho so thats cool

[pure orchid]

If you put it that way

Its kinda insult to injury

[narrow pendant]

Shes so comfy

I love tuya

They better give me loopshooter mod soon

And give them like, 20% projectile velocity

[willow sun]

give them built in sniper scope trust

[full terrace]

I'm building tuya right away if that happens

[narrow pendant]

Fym right away

Build her rn

Im not asking

[willow sun]

5% extra damage per tile traveled, am i cooking

[crisp bolt]

I'll build tuya when I stop suffering from permanent rocc deficit

[willow sun]

actually 5% is pretty ass when max distance atk interval is like 2s

whatever

[narrow pendant]

No since her best dps is at closest range

[full terrace]

Always use Ray when crafting 😏

[narrow pendant]

Dumdum

[crisp bolt]

[willow sun]

nuh uh it’s to make long distance use more viable

[narrow pendant]

Sounds like skill issue cuz u cant place her properly

[willow sun]

i don’t use my tuta so i can’t place her wrong

[narrow pendant]

Fraud

[full terrace]

@pure orchid time to play this thing or what

[chrome light]

in the headhunti9ng is there any guaranteed ill get a specific 6*? (im tryna get logos)

[narrow pendant]

No

#help is the room over

[chrome light]

oh mb

[pure orchid]

ehhh

go ask yomi for some ra2 propaganda

lowk id already have quit if it werent for marcille and vulpi

i have propaganda for just straight up quitting 💀

[narrow pendant]

Why

Spill your secret desires

[pure orchid]

I want to graduate with latin honors and maintain my real life sanity amidst toxic friends and thesis mates

[narrow pendant]

Sounds tough

Best of luck hubby

Be smart, get rich, and spoil me

[pure orchid]

Thanks wifey

Oh fosure thats the plan

[full terrace]

I aint asking anyone when playing, that ruins the fun for me lol

The joy is in the discovery

[pure orchid]

Bro didnt i straight up just say something like that earlier 😭

Yomi kagareboshi and dr*g love ra2 for some reason unbeknownst to me

[full terrace]

Last time I tried RA I shot trees with Pinecone

[pure orchid]

Damn that sounds schizo

Were yall really that poor back then

[narrow pendant]

I mean, RA is easy
Just win

Day 621 baby

[pure orchid]

I day 100 then sleep

[full terrace]

I was. I mean RA is asking for 3 pages of 6 Stars. I only had Surtr and friends, didnt have that many broken ops until around the train of crazy broken ops got released. Had to cope with Pinecone for my Team 2/Team 3 😏

Err.. maybe I'll just finish IS4 first

I so dont wanna touch RA atm

[merry narwhal]

RA is free. It can take some time though

I cleared all shops without any ops

[full terrace]

When I play, I dont play for the rewards. I even showed that I cleared the Shop out before I start. When I play, I play to fully dissect and dominate the game mode.

It's not fun otherwise

[muted egret]

How do I get 3 stars here?

R8-9

[full terrace]

I dont remember that stage being special, lemme check I'll get back to you

Ah

It's the civillians?

Yeah so I just did a quick run to check

Your focus should be dealing with the 3 Roadblocks and the pre-spawned Strikers as fast as possible

So that the Civillians can safely get to your blue box as soon as possible

Do this while holding the bottom lane. Your Thorns should be good enough for that.

Pour all your dps resources on the top side

Kill the Strikers, destroy the Roadblocks, let the Civillians go to your blue box, and thats it.

[willow sun]

that looks exactly like how my RA2 looked two weeks ago

i found some time to grind out the entire game mode though

i’d say it took 20-25 hours

the main quest has some ok story, the side quests are pretty funny sometimes

even though it’s supposedly better than RA1 there’s still a lot that isn’t explained

automation is your best friend, and make sure you search every nook and cranny to make sure you don’t miss something

when you eventually unlock lightning ore you’ll be like 50% done i’d say, and with them you can unlock a construct that removes the stupid invisibility gimmick of RA

also breakable walls

[full terrace]

The main reason why I'm using Asca as laneholder is because of her Movement Speed Reduction, up to 85% when she is onskill. Block is one of the basic mechanics of this game, but if you think about it, Blocking is basically just stalling, buying time for your dps units to kill, and if you look closer, most dpses will only take a fraction of second to kill normal enemies, and a few secs to kill elites. High-end dpses like Wisadel can even finish bosses off in secs, so Asca's 85% Mov Speed Reduction that lasts 35 secs, which is almost equal to Bind, effectively emulates the Blocking mechanic (I call it pseudo-Blocking), buying you enough time to deal with most enemies, with her onskill equals to effective Blocking (35 secs), and offskill equals to reaching Block Limit (20 secs, potential leak).

The difference between Asca's pseudo-Blocking and the Block by conventional Blockers are:

1. Asca can lanehold up to 3 lanes at once, while conventional Blockers can only Block 1 lane. From this angle alone, she is already worth 3 Blockers.
2. Asca can reduce Mov Speed of drones/air units as well, emulating the "Aerial Block". This is something that is unique to her at the moment until Contrail arrives.
3. Asca has 0 Block. This means she can bypass quite a few of Blocking weaknesses, such as: melee enemies that hit hard upon contact like Patriot, Shanhaizhong Ringleader; enemies that dash upon contact like Crownslayer, Degenbrecher, Deathveil Assassins; and enemies that kill upon contact like the Sarkaz Wither Devourer and Raging Man Eater.
4. Asca's Mov Speed Reduction can also "Block" (notice the quote-unquote) unblockable enemies like the Wraith Leader, Duck Lord in IS, and Eik (Boss of IS4 Ending 2).
5. Unlike debuff such as Bind by Ethan and Slow by the Decel Binders that have Immunity, Asca's Mov Speed Reduction doesnt, meaning it works against all type of enemies, bosses included.
   Her only glaring weakness in pseudo-Blocking is that, she cant block-reveal Invisible enemies, which is a small price to pay for all these perks, especially if you have Ines and spawn the thingy on the ground for her.

[tidal sedge]

Wow. You utilise her to her maximum capabilities and use her in a very fun and smart/effective way. Do you have such a thing as a fav Operator? If yes where would you put her?

[full terrace]

She is on the same level as Ines, just below Wis and Logos

[crisp bolt]

ascalon utility is indeed very good

[full terrace]

In high diff IS especially, enemies hit hard, like so hard they 1 tap or 2 taps you most of the time

[tidal sedge]

Point 5 really makes her stand out

[full terrace]

Even Shu is having a hard time surviving that

Asca on the other hand, doesnt care about enemies attack power

Coz she isnt blocking them

She is my laneholder, and my quote-unquote blocker

[crisp bolt]

I'd use asca in is4 if I had asca

RA danger mode in shambles

[leaden sierra]

To add, the invisible enemy weakness is mostly irrelevant since Ines exist and has good synergy with Ascalon.

[full terrace]

@tidal sedge you just finished Ending 2 in IS5 right? You must be familiar with the Devourer crowd that swarms you. Asca can single handedly take care of that wave like shown here #strategy message

You can see how those Devourers couldnt even walk past her position

She stopped them all

That is basically "blocking" them

So if you deploy any ranged dps there, they can just take their sweet time hitting those Devourers

Same concept is applied to Ethan btw. Difference is, Ethan needs a bit of RNG (which shouldnt be a problem in IS most of the time), and some enemies are immune to Bind.

Also Ethan has no dps and he cant stop aerial enemies.

[tidal sedge]

You speed run the entire thing 😭

Crazy to see them all die to one Op and a healer when they're generally a pain to deal with

[full terrace]

Yah she is a great laneholder

[tidal sedge]

Will get her for sure when she reruns 🥹

[willow sun]

-# i just use ulpp s3 to the left of theresa facing right and spam s3

he solos the entire stage you just gotta be patient

just… don’t run out of time

[tidal sedge]

Sadly I never had the chance to use him on that map, but yes he'd be a big help

Maybe I should go full self sabotage and try IS4 Ed3

Will start with a Degen borrow

[full terrace]

Ray and Degen are really good for Ending 3

Also

Keep all your Sing Foldartals if you get them

Then use all the Sings on the boss stage

Gardener or Sentinel

If you can get like 3 Sings, you'll have +150 aspd on that fight

Thats plenty helpful for burst

You only have 10 secs after all

5 for Sentinel

[tidal sedge]

They overdid it with Sentinel

(Thanks for the tips btw)

[full terrace]

It can get quite annoying yeah

[smoky pike]

what is making phase 2 rosmontis do AoE oneshots?

I have the stun resistance upgrade but she still randomly oneshots my whole team in phase 2

[dapper hedge]

The drone stuns. She also does this p1

[smoky pike]

I can clear phase 1 easily, and I paid attention to the drone too

the drone didn't stun anyone

I have the stun resist buff

[full terrace]

Could you screenshot me your Garrisoned ops at Special stages @smoky pike

[full terrace]

Rosmontis shouldnt be an issue then

[smoky pike]

I'm pretty sure I don't have a lineup that can beat her

[full terrace]

No way, just a bit of healing and stalling and you are good

When she drops the thingy on the ground, destroy it quickly

[smoky pike]

I have to use 2 medics to stay alive until phase 2 then she just randomly oneshots everyone

[full terrace]

If you do that, your dps will hit much harder

She doesnt one shot

What ops are you using btw

[smoky pike]

Eyja, nighting, silence, saria, ifrit mainly

[full terrace]

Plenty powerful

[smoky pike]

physical does nothing to drones

[full terrace]

Caster Eyja right

[smoky pike]

yeah

[full terrace]

Oh ignore the drones, just hit Rosmontis

Like this #strategy message

Thats Logos+Shu duo

[smoky pike]

idk who those are

[full terrace]

Caster Eyja+Ifrit are plenty dps

Saria stalls Nightingale heals

Should be no issue

[smoky pike]

but anyways I can kill her in phase 1, but in phase 2 she randomly kills everyone in one hit and then I just lose

like they are tanking the magic damage fine, then suddenly dead from full hp

[full terrace]

She doesnt really kill anyone in 1 hit if they arent stunned, and with your Special stages garrisoned nobody should be stunned

[smoky pike]

yeah that's what I don't understand

it happens every time after she revives

[full terrace]

Its hard to identify the issue if I dont see it for myself

Lemme try something brb

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its probably her aoe skill on 2nd phase. Normal damaging tbh

[barren cairn]

whats the best irene module?

[full terrace]

That AoE doesnt hurt, also the guy runs Nightingale

I dont think that can "1 shot"

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats weird

[tidal sedge]

The new one

[barren cairn]

is it the one that ignores def?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Im not even using 6* and she can't 1 shot me

the one with dmg scale

[tidal sedge]

Nah. The one which gives 6 sp

[scarlet fulcrum]

Mod1 fine

[tidal sedge]

Irene is eh these days tho

[barren cairn]

ya im just building for the new skin

[tidal sedge]

It's indeed very pretty, cute birb

[full terrace]

Yeh exactly I'm confused as hell 😅

[scarlet fulcrum]

Maybe the buff not applied, or they forgor

[smoky pike]

@full terrace wtf, I tried my exact deployment one more time and this time they didn't get oneshot

like exact same deployment

[full terrace]

Ah I think I identified your problem. It's this right?

Thats not 1 shot, but rather you didnt destroy the VTE fast enough

So Rosmontis keeps stacking them on you

At Phase 2 she keeps spamming that

If you didnt destroy it fast enough she throws the 2nd one

And that thing does True Damage

And AoE Arts Damage

[scarlet fulcrum]

She can retreive it ye

[full terrace]

And if you destroy it, not only you prevent True Damage and AoE Arts Damage, but you also stops Rosmontis from attacking, and also take less Physical and Arts Damage @smoky pike

So it goes from super hard to super easy

Just by destroying the VTE fast

[smoky pike]

yeah I see it now, she stuck two of them on saria

even though she was the first deployed

I guess her targeting resets after reviving?

super annoying because I specifically deployed eyja last so that she would stick it on her

[unique coyote]

Who should i borrow to clear SK-4? So i can unlock the Carbon pack craft

Because i am pretty sure i cant clear it with my units

[scarlet fulcrum]

Show ur ops, its doable without borrow

[unique coyote]

those is the one i've been using.
and for the rest: https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/ashniartis

[scarlet fulcrum]

Raise shaw skill lv to 4 and u are good to go. No need to lv her up

[unique coyote]

K, will try that tyty

[scarlet fulcrum]

First, Nudge the first caster by deploying random unit in his tile after he stop moving

First caster on top right btw

[unique coyote]

prob with Specalter?

[scarlet fulcrum]

With any meele unit

[unique coyote]

doesnt metter if it dies?

my unit i mean

[scarlet fulcrum]

Doesn't matter if die, Maybe ur pluma even can kill him

Maxed pluma

[unique coyote]

wait, which one of the 2? the one closes to the spawn or the one mid way to the exit?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Top right

[unique coyote]

k

[scarlet fulcrum]

The purpose is to make caster out of the range, so shaw will not be targeted by that caster

[unique coyote]

it worked, ty <3

[scarlet fulcrum]

But oh well i think la pluma enough for top, maxed even more

Just deploy capybara and u are done

[unique coyote]

I always forget i can push enemies out of the map

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can long tap any sus tile, sometimes it will pop the description like that hole on this stage

[full terrace]

VEC-05 Low-End Clear

For newbies and people who invested most of their 6 Stars on special stages.

[full terrace]

VEC-03 Low-End Clear

If there is demand for it, I'll make one for VEC-08 when it's open next week

That way people can just invest their 6 Stars fully on the special stages to unlock buff

[scarlet mortar]

ngl it would've been funny if HG allowed supports on all of the SP stages

people would've hopped on #friend-id so fast

[full terrace]

I just notice Kyostin hasnt made any low end guides for this event yet. I can hear the silent scream from those people who copy his guides 1:1

[willow sun]

my ass was too broke to copy even his low end guides so i had to resort to the 17 view low 6* bilibili clears

[full terrace]

I couldnt even open bili links until a few days ago

...maybe a week

[lapis hornet]

is this vector thing supposed to be the easier dos thingie?

[willow sun]

i can’t on my school wifi since they block chinese websites

[willow sun]

from what i’ve heard it’s more forgiving than DoS, yeah

[scarlet fulcrum]

Far easier

[lapis hornet]

ok ok ty kind sirs

[scarlet fulcrum]

All that matter Freebie, mr. Cake dalao. Like always

[full terrace]

I like how cake just trolls everyone into thinking he is genuine newbie just to see their reactions

[low tusk]

Thoughts on odda? I’m interested in investing in him as he is my only earthshaker I have

[azure roost]

wtf overkill

[maiden hound]

eh... meh

[steady moth]

Is there a team of 5 stars and 4 stars that can do the last map? I was so close with gummy, amiya and tin man but I needed saria’s fragility + slow + healing combo to kill the last 3 red enemies.

[azure roost]

krooster can solo spc03

[steady moth]

I see, she kept dying to the magic bind so I tossed in a Lv1 verdant.

[azure roost]

spc04

mmm

[steady moth]

Not worried about that just want my saria back

[azure roost]

what ur unit

[steady moth]

That’s the 5*s and

The 4*s are:

[azure roost]

mmm

[azure roost]

ok

use

[steady moth]

Not that much built, I mostly focused on 6*s but am willing to build new ones.

[azure roost]

beanstalk to solo spc03

lemme think about

spc04

[steady moth]

Okie

I have no problem building a new unit to do it if I have to.

[azure roost]

god

@steady moth saria can be changed on other defender

can u try

ur ops limit u alot

[steady moth]

I tried gummy and she got omega destroyed by the red chargers before tin man could kill them

I can try cuora

[azure roost]

u need to kill hammer first

thats the probelm

[steady moth]

Amiya kills all the shielded enemies

[azure roost]

issue aint problem on caster

[steady moth]

So the other 2 must kill the crushers

I will go try cuora brb

[azure roost]

@steady moth try tinman

greyy2

defender

[steady moth]

I tried tinamn greyy2 and amiya and it was just short of winning several times

If tin man had his module on global

It’d have worked

[azure roost]

honestly

this would be easier

if u have

chain caster

raised

leizi or astgenne

can make it easier

[elder flume]

Pudding Indigo Cuora is prob enough

[azure roost]

who knows

[steady moth]

Cuora worked

Thanks

[azure roost]

@steady moth see

finished main map?

[steady moth]

Tin Man Amiya Cuora worked perfectly

Not done the main map yet

I will go do it now

[azure roost]

ngl

lvl ur ops equally

and u have tons of e1

especially on 5★

[steady moth]

I e1’d a lot when I was new and then didn’t see the need to e2 them once I had lots of meta 6*s

[azure roost]

[steady moth]

Kind of a waste, yeah

[azure roost]

ohye

show ur 6★

me curious

[steady moth]

Oh okie

This is the newer of 2 accounts, lacking stuff I have on the other one like Ines, but here you go

[azure roost]

mmm

[steady moth]

It’s about 8 months old?

[azure roost]

finish ur lumen

balls

oh ye lvl 60 ur weeds

I don’t feel I need Lumen? I use purestream, ptilopsis, sussuro and reed alter and they’re always enough.

[azure roost]

mod lvl1 on reed doe

[steady moth]

Yes, reed needs her module still.

[azure roost]

having extra medic helpful

[elder flume]

I keep my weed at E2 1

[azure roost]

nice Vulcan doe

[somber falcon]

[steady moth]

I’m not having an issue with Ulpianus, I figured I’d wait and see if his 2nd module eventually is better for Abyssal Hunter comps. I mostly use his S3 and with Gladiia so the survivability gain isn’t too necessary.

Still recommend this module?

[steady moth]

Goot job.

[azure roost]

e2 lumnes > e2 60 weeds > module saria, ulpi, reed2, pluma. > e2 arene, pinecone, jaye and totter

fix ur acc ops lvl

its killing me @steady moth

[steady moth]

Lmao

I’ll do stuff I use like Weedy

Pinecone and totter too

Arene I never use and probably never will

[azure roost]

[steady moth]

I made weedy lv60 and e2 totter rn

[willow sun]

iirc someone duoed with tin man no 6*, i forgot who he was paired with though

maybe it was pudding?

[azure roost]

hi theacc pro

[willow sun]

i am no pro dalao but thank you and hello

[steady moth]

Hellos

Yes, that is very impressive, I am a big tin man fan

[azure roost]

hoe almost solo spc04

but ye

3 last enemy

have tin sliver of hp

[steady moth]

Medic Amiya is also really good there, she solos all the shielded ops and chunks one of the crushers

[azure roost]

on hoe s2

idk if max pot hoe can kill em doe

[steady moth]

Maybe

Hoederer is pretty stronk

[willow sun]

have you tried s3? with pots for faster deploy i think he can do it on s3

@steady moth here's kirns clear

[steady moth]

I tried beanstalk solo on the 3rd level and couldn’t get it. I placed beantsalk on the farthest left tile facing left and put her summon just out of range of the mage. The red centurion attacks the crab and dies, then when the mage comes into range I use Beanstalk’s S2 and the mage kills all the crabs and leaks with 20% HP left. Oof. I am doing something wrong.

[willow sun]

im also seeing agstenne + manticore + medicmiya i think

[willow sun]

is he out of range from beanstalk while killing crabs?

[steady moth]

Sibce medic amiya solos all the shielded enemies the other two combined just need to be enough to kill the last 3 enemies so a lot of medic amiya + 2 squads should work.

[steady moth]

He kills the main crab from afar, then walks into beanstalk’s range and I pop s2 to flood him with extra crabs

But he just doesn’t die fast enough

Kills them one by one and leaks

[azure roost]

cant

last hammer 1 leak

[willow sun]

rip

[azure roost]

since he only can hold 2

on s3

[steady moth]

Still it’s very close

[willow sun]

yeah i got the mage to like half hp when hammer leaked

[steady moth]

I can simply use any unit with beanstalk

[willow sun]

so i thought maybe a bit more time could do the trick

[steady moth]

And succeed

But I prefer to sacrifice Kroos ngl

[willow sun]

retreat timing shenanigans wont work here?

[steady moth]

Maybe that’s it, idk

[willow sun]

bring u-official

no sacrifice needed

dazzle the last enemy to death

[steady moth]

I use beanstalk a lot but kroos is usually benched, not that she’s bad

Beanstalk is just super useful to me

Plus I love seeing the lil crabs kill enemies

[willow sun]

idk id try for myself but my beanstalk is only e1lv60

[steady moth]

I want mods for Mlynar, Ines, Nymph, Yu and Eblana so badly. I wish every new op launched with their module.

Why do we need to wait years for this shit, sigh.

[willow sun]

tbf all 5 of those dont need mod

[steady moth]

Yeah, but if they get good modules they’ll become truly cracked!

[willow sun]

imagine if hg started neglecting the underrated op mods to prioritize meta mods, it'd be kinda cringe

[steady moth]

The modules seem easy to implement, so how about they do both

Smh

[willow sun]

ok make mlynar mod rn

i say +20% sanctuary while skill isn't active

[steady moth]

That’s a fine idea tbh

I’d buy that

[willow sun]

you were supposed to make it

wtfart

how did it turn onto me

[steady moth]

Okie give me 1 minute

How about trait upgrade: defense and res scale alongside attack up to +30% +20 when skill isn’t active and reset when skill is done. Base stats attack +30 and attack speed +7. Talent upgrade: attack increased to 115% (+5%) when there are 3 or more enemies nearby, attack increased to 125% (+10%) and take 20% (+5%) less damage.

[elder flume]

[steady moth]

Something basic like that is fine.

But they have more than a few minutes to think about and implement these things, it’s their job and they have lots of employees.

[willow sun]

it'd be cool if agent mod was becomes unable to kill unblocked enemies (kinda like saga)
maybe nymph mod might just be delta mod
yu idk enough about to come up with a mod
eblana could spawn in with a summon

[steady moth]

Agents not killing as in Critically Wounding them so others get sp off the kills?

[willow sun]

more so they can farm dp better off trash

especially ines

[steady moth]

Well, sometimes you want them to kill so that could be bad sometimes lmao

[willow sun]

read newspaper for thicker skin

[steady moth]

Basically yeah

He’s already a good enough dps so the base effect could help his role as taunt bait

[willow sun]

i can see it being pretty useful when the difficulty ramps up fast in a stage

honestly both liberator guards have a form of self-defense while not attacking so i could see them leaning into it

[steady moth]

The first module will probably be the first talent but that module would be better if the reflect talent was the upgraded one tbh

How about when he reflects damage that operator gains 1 SP pog

It’d be simultaneously op and useless due to their trait

[elder flume]

a free 3 block taunt guard is pretty good ig

[steady moth]

Yu is the one I want a module most for

[willow sun]

i just realized you can stop ulpianuis s3 before he even throws his anchor

but... why?

[coarse patio]

Should i swap lava with somebody ?

[willow sun]

youre fine for now, swap her out with click or rockrock in the future when you get them

[coarse patio]

Okay then

[unique coyote]

I should be able to clear this, no?
I got near the end, but the gargoyle just killed everyone and went a way, ig i need more Arts dmg? Is Lapp + Reedalter enough?

i choked then all on that lower right corner

[unique coyote]

same team as here, but Ray is E2 lv60 now

[pearl breach]

More than enough

Ray will kill those garg with no issue

[unique coyote]

Ig i just positioned her badly? The prob is after they revive, anyway will try again

[oblique dock]

... blind run

didnt realize there were station buffs

i didnt even get to use nymph

[glass monolith]

Buff for +2 shield on deploy then proceed to abuse cat with fast redeploys

[oblique dock]

interesting gamemode anyway

not sure who i want to shove into stations cause my roster is pretty meh

[maiden hound]

jaye e1max solo stage 1, beanstalk solo stage 3 iirc

[willow sun]

babble hasn't been able to solo stage 3 with beanstalk

have you seen it?

[maiden hound]

hmm might have misremembered

[steady moth]

I think it’s possible I just must’ve timed something wrong.

[willow sun]

i mean he's definitely gotten close

is your beanstalk max metal?

[steady moth]

Yeah.

[willow sun]

are you activating s2 while he's within beanstalks range?

[steady moth]

Yeah.

He still just kills all my crabs before beanstalk can kill him.

[willow sun]

maybe move crab one tile closer so you can use three crabs to stall, idk

[ocean ether]

Realized that Amiya S2 can handle every single greytail.

Just need to place her on the right, and activate her skill right before the first greytail exits the mud area

[steady moth]

Yep

I did the same thing

[limpid ore]

considering her range, there are 4 possible placements

[ocean ether]

removed lappland

thats about as optimal as I can push it

[steady moth]

I used tin man and cuora

[willow sun]

medimiya + typhon should be able to duo but my typhon is s3m0 so i can't

nvm just use typhon s2 lol

[limpid ore]

i used saria and chen2

[ocean ether]

trying to use as little 6 stars as possible. But I don't really have many non- 6 stars raised

Dont wanna raise jaye either because I am using his E0 base skill daily

[willow sun]

you can do first stage with CE if you have her

[ocean ether]

SL7?

[willow sun]

should be fine, she doesn't have good gains on mastery

map 2 i used e2lv50 max pot tequila sl7

[ocean ether]

S2 SL7? Gotta try that

[willow sun]

wait then stage 3 i used gladiia

[steady moth]

Tequila, interesting, I used Vulcan S2

[willow sun]

wtf im playing welfareknights

[ocean ether]

I have E2 lvl 1 SL7 teq

[willow sun]

i just realized

lv50 is needed unfortunately

[ocean ether]

gonna try CE for 1 now

[willow sun]

he barely survives at e2lv50 pot6 sl7

took me like 20 tries to find timings

[ocean ether]

Not enough damage Though by a bit

[elder flume]

high level CE can do stage 2 too

[willow sun]

really? her mastery gains is like 10%, i managed to clear with quite a bit of skill left to spare
is she trust 100+ lv60?

[ocean ether]

should be enough now. I didnt place her on the pad just now

[willow sun]

bruh

[pearl breach]

Enough on cm. You can try this set up.
Just as I thought, Ray swipe everything.

*If you lack of dmg on the last wave. You can use the pillar (the one beside the red box) to delete those garg.

[ocean ether]

but the timing was really tight The first time I tried, that guy walked out of the skill area before I could hit it

[willow sun]

is she not pot6

[ocean ether]

I just realize she isnt

[willow sun]

[ocean ether]

Forgot to do the stages for her pot

well, pot 3 is just enough

managed to activate skill with like... .3 sec window to spare

[willow sun]

yeah i have time to activate skill while he's still on the blue pad beneath her

[ocean ether]

this event made me broke raising all the ops I dont normally use

[pure orchid]

I got a lot of random stuff raised so it just made me creative if anything

[olive swan]

Greetings, I would like to ask for advice on what I should use as my main operators. I am currently stuck with Ep 5 s4-4 I think? However, as you can see, I seem to be investing everywhere. I would like to solicit advice on what operators I should use to get up ep 10-14? Here are my current operators, do not worry I will take my time if a level 1 operator is picked and invest in it. I have been opening daily and doing it diligently earning credits and upgrade materials, so I do not have a problem with grind, its just that I am not sure with the characters compatibility.

[ocean ether]

How?

[willow sun]

place him asap on the leftmost middle tile

tank the first dude walking past

once his atk is maxed out, activate skill

end his skill 2 hits before the guy going to the top left dies

activate skill again once he's at 872 atk iirc

second skill activation should kill the guy coming back up from the bottom right and the guy going back down from the top left

once they both die immediately end skill

activate skill one last time asap to kill the last guy

[ocean ether]

you need a medal

[willow sun]

yours is slightly more healthy than mine wtf

scammed

my tequila is a fraud

[ocean ether]

Theres kinda only one good operator on your roster, Naran. Piro her.

This kinda looks like a new account, have you been pulling kernel? You really shouldn't be pulling kernel as a new player unless you whale.

As for who to raise apart from naran, Lappland for her innate silence
Silverash to do some DPS because you are really lacking in that department
Gummy needs to be raised, spot as well if you are planning to do IS

[ocean ether]

Might just be timings

[olive swan]

IS?

[elder flume]

prob something like this
start from vanguards
when you have enough dp switch them Ptilo and Sash ig

[ocean ether]

integrated strategies

[ocean ether]

Left one, do IS3 > IS2 > IS4 / IS5

IS3 is mizuki

[willow sun]

you can ask in #help btw
you already have a lot invest into silverash, pepe, narantuya, and exusiai
as much as it sucks, i dont think exusiai is worth the e2, i'd go sash/naran > pepe though
you can ignore swire alt
once you have one or two of them e2 and don't feel like youre struggling, i'd e2 proviso and your other base slaves immediately (you can find some cheap ones by typing /baseskills in #bot-spam)

[somber falcon]

the ones you've raised are fine (don't leave them at e2 lv1 tho)
the rest is just getting game experience and knowledge

[willow sun]

separate roguelite gamemode from the main story/campaign and events, if youre familiar with what those are

[olive swan]

Alright I'll ask for the help section in discord

[willow sun]

also for future reference, don't e1 max your ops (i.e. e1lv80 for 6*, e1lv70 for 5*, etc.) its a waste of resources if you don't plan on e2ing them
generally you stop leveling operators at their max level - 30 levels

[ocean ether]

The thing about IS, you can borrow friend support units. And you dont need an E2 but can use E2 support units. Its very good for a starting player to just borrow a strong operator and do IS (since it dosen't need sanity) to get materials to raise your operators

I would suggest borrowing wisadel

Wisadel brain rot solves most problems

[olive swan]

IS gives materials without consuming sanity?

[willow sun]

if my tequila got hit one more time with how much hp yours survived with, he'd have died lol

[willow sun]

so does RA and SSS, but IS is the newbie friendly of the bunch and the most appealing to most player

also arguably the fastest aside from RA but RA takes time to setup

[ocean ether]

Enough for you to raise SEVERAL E2 operators and mod 3 m3 their skills

[somber falcon]

since when is IS newbie friendly

[willow sun]

since wis released and newbies got a free e2 voucher

[ocean ether]

It is when you play low diff and borrow wisadel or texas alter or logos

[willow sun]

also i might be biased cause i started playing the game specifically to play IS

[olive swan]

Alright I'll be playing more IS. thank you

[somber falcon]

ah yes doing 100 runs with the same op every time, very exciting

[willow sun]

thats why i played AYHD and grabbed every voucher i came across

infinite temp recs

[ocean ether]

That dosent change that its newbie friendly

[willow sun]

i think i hit is4 lv155 battlepass before i hit dokutah lv50

it wasnt an addiction i swear

[ocean ether]

I think new players got higher priorities then trying sweaty high diff IS gameplay and aiming for all endings

[somber falcon]

it's not even about getting sweaty

playing IS with the same op and strategy just get boring fast

quick way to burn them out of the game

[willow sun]

i mean to each their own

i became an ayhd enjoyer

it forced me into bullshit situations that i had to work my way out of or die

given that was before the temptation known as start every run with a borrowed wis became a reality so

[ocean ether]

Would rather play IS with same op constantly getting more free materials to raise my own operators.

Then not doing anything and just wait a year before I can actually "play" IS

[somber falcon]

I'm not saying newbies can't play it
I'm saying they shouldn't grind it with short roster

[ocean ether]

I started the game in dec 2023, am here now because I grinded IS. Borrowing texas alter for every game, trying to do it with not a single E2 at that time. To each their own really.

[willow sun]

i'll just stand by my point as ayhd shill and just borrow any random 6* to open

it adds quite a bit of variety

and you get to gamble for temp recs with vouchers

[wicked minnow]

playing IS early on helps you learn how wisadel works

[willow sun]

its like pulling without the orundumb

[willow sun]

truly the most important TR stage

[ocean ether]

Hey, there was no wisadel back then!

[somber falcon]

big red, I push, ooga booga

[willow sun]

no not that dumb

if you go that far they're gonna forget to switch off s1

and then no big red to push :realmad:

[ocean ether]

Wondering if I can squeeze silence alter anywhere for vector. Raised her for base so I wanna feel better about myself wasting materials on an RoI that probably wont happen before EoS

[willow sun]

... silence alt has RoI?

40% hr... 30% fac... where's the roi

[ocean ether]

30% any product factory, 35 with dorothy. Her roi is me being able to switch ops more often. Actual Roi? Eh. Lets just pretend that she will pay that investment back before end of service

[willow sun]

can't even help produce lmd
i dont think youre ever seeing that roi, even if hg emailed you a private server to run until you die

[spark sinew]

oh i keep forgetting that salter is 30% rhine
here we go then, no need for shitty 3 man combos for 95

[willow sun]

salt is crazy

[ocean ether]

I gotta find some place I can squeeze her into vector so I can justify raising her
"Look! I didn't waste my resources!"

[vernal lion]

[pure orchid]

Fraudulent behaviour

[glass monolith]

Proc this talent now about 50 more times and... Oh wait it will blow up to attack speed down isn't it

[toxic orchid]

Sorry to ask, I'm kind of new to this game but can anyone give me a general strategy guide to get through the early game story?

Do I really have to use the lower stars operators to push through or is there any other way i can simply use whatever operators I have?

[glass monolith]

I believe #bot-spam has command like team building or something to give general idea of squad composition

If you are using guides they will refer to many low star operators by logic that you 99.999% own them. Or has a viable replacement of the same archetype of higher rarity.

[toxic orchid]

Ahh, okay then thanks! What about placement and stuff though?

[somber falcon]

3*s are ok but while they're cheap they hit their ceiling fast, ultimately just a jumping stone for your acc
Essentially, you use what's needed for the stage: marksmen for drones, medics for healing, etc.
If the option for what you need atm is a 3⭐, then yeah it's perfectly fine

[toxic orchid]

Tbh I usually just gather my operators near the base and stuff

[toxic orchid]

I have some 6*, and quite a few 5* as well but idk how to use them properly. Because I feel like using the 3*s needs some placement accuracy and stuff TT

[glass monolith]

That's different from map to map
In way your ranged operators reach enemies. Medics reach people who need healing. Etc

[toxic orchid]

Ahh, okay thanks for the tips! I couldn't really find any tips I can use online so I figured I'd ask here xD

Also, would it be better to focus on the story stages or grind for something first?

I mean I'm currently trying to gain as many originite for the current banner

[full terrace]

The correct way would be slow and steady. You learn what each operator does, game mechanics, how to deploy, etc. The shortcut is to use your free E2 Voucher on a unit (I suggest Lappland), then draft that unit and borrow a maxed out E2 Support Units (hint: Wisadel, Logos, Ling) and steamroll the entirety of Main Story up to Chapter 13.

[somber falcon]

Usually you'd look for chokepoints on the map, where you can focus your attacks and not spread them out too much

That said placing in front of blue box(es) are also ok, it's just a different strat

[glass monolith]

As long as enemy don't reach blue box you win. Killing them close to blue box is as viable as killing them far from it (in term than it dies - you win. Enemy might have on death abilities you want to avoid or activate away from you)

[full terrace]

Once you reach Chapter 13, you unlock all recipes at Workshop, craft your materials there and upgrade your 6 Stars.

Thats the shortcut

[somber falcon]

It's kinda 50/50 tbh, you can continue story stages until you're stuck, then switch to lvling a bit, then repeat

Though do note that events have higher material drop rate, so the priority shifts there whenever they're available

[toxic orchid]

Ahh, okay then, thanks everyone!

[glass monolith]

Side story events come with shops where you get currency from playing said event stages and shops will contain decent amount of EXP/LMD for early game boost. We won't have next for at least 1.5 week so right now is "dead week" - free to do whatever, best time for main story / old side events / farms

[tidal sedge]

Btw thoughts on Suzumom? Would you be using her somewhere

[narrow pendant]

Top2 vg🥹

[tidal sedge]

[narrow pendant]

But nah, suzumom is great general content but in IS not so much

[tidal sedge]

Yep figures.

[narrow pendant]

Surely with pioneer hand🥹

[full terrace]

At a glance she seems good. I like her range and Camouflage, but I dont wanna comment on her at the moment. I only make remarks on something that I have done and experienced myself, not parroting others' opinions.

[covert cloak]

Guys the new event stage vec-05 is hard asf how do I deal with the enraged possessed leader? I used freeze unit paired with gavial alter s3 and it still didn’t budge. I killed rosmontis first form near spawn but the leader is what’s killing my runs…

[limpid ore]

the special stages when cleared give you buffs for the main stages

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586588958885150721/1354800304062730361/IMG_8897.png?ex=67e69b9b&is=67e54a1b&hm=eff4398f46b032eb9d5d58a257084a3b2f40ec66515bc3c4358c3a7325016993&

[narrow pendant]

Kill from range

I didnt even see theres such an enemy

[limpid ore]

it mostly kills itself from the hp loss it has

just survive it

[elder flume]

if you can put VTE far from enemies that would help

[limpid ore]

or use the VTE to buff your operators

either works

[covert cloak]

Gotcha thanks guys

[full terrace]

Destroy Rosmontis's VTE fast

When you destroy it, the 3x3 area around it will give your operators Physical and Arts Damage Reduction

That alone is enough to tank the possessed enemies

Even Beagle can tank it #strategy message see how I deployed Ansel last so that the VTE is dropped on his position, and 3x3 around that position also cover Logos and Beagle in front.

[ocean ether]

I would honestly suggest watching some videos to clear stages with low rarity ops, and see if you can integrate your own operators, some of the videos do explain why they do things in that way, kyostinv being top of the list.

Then you borrow an operator and experiment with tactics in integrated strategies since that dosent need sanity

Thats how I learnt

[ocean ether]

Have you unlocked IS?
For a new player, you can borrow a strong operator and you dont even need an E2 to use the E2. Although these days, I think new players get a free E2 skip?

IS is the no energy cost, permanent rougelite mode and it gives resources for playing it. The amount of resources IS gives is sufficient for you to build an entire team of E2 operators.

IS is unlocked after finishing chap 3 iirc. If you aren't there yet, do try to get there and unlock IS at the least.

[willow sun]

annoyingly ulpianus needs pot2 to truly solo clear here (canta generates 1 dp at the start of the stage)
not sure if e2lv60 works as well imma try

[spark sinew]

texas/wildmane where

🫡

canta needs to damage an enemy so it doesn't count!

[willow sun]

nuh uh i retreat so ulpp can farm one extra stack (it totally matters)

[spark sinew]

but she still damages an enemy

that's the only way for her to gen dp?

[elder flume]

P1 solo

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1MrxFeKELp/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click

[storm ore]

[spark sinew]

someone is too rich

[storm ore]

Too rich ?

[spark sinew]

those are... good ops

dare i say too good to use on stages like that

[willow sun]

nope has to be e2lv90

ulpianus is a fraud

[spark sinew]

since you can't use them in "normal" stages for current event

[storm ore]

F2p btw

I don't have wis

[willow sun]

i can’t open it, which op?

[elder flume]

Ulpi

[spark sinew]

you can see aura on thumbnail

[storm ore]

You can use e2lv90 jess alter, timing is pretty much the same but easier because of ammo

[willow sun]

oh it’s just a trash mob, she does like half its health but ulpp 4 shots anyways

[spark sinew]

btw

[willow sun]

huh i’m talking about vec5 rosmo solo

[willow sun]

?

[storm ore]

Oh nvm then

[spark sinew]

oh yeah it's vec4 🫡

[willow sun]

bruh

[elder flume]

lmao i tunnel visioned

[spark sinew]

a screenshot from rainchan vid

i assumed he linked correct map, that's on me

[elder flume]

ill check if there is solo

[spark sinew]

lol ulpi oneshotting through art shields

amazing

[scarlet fulcrum]

Should use texas or wm for pot sim instead lul

[spark sinew]

well technically

@willow sun https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1MB1UY3E13/

[scarlet fulcrum]

This one using event 2nd phase buffs

[spark sinew]

shhh

[civic bear]

literally diff stage

but vecsp4 modless he can solo

need some level but not max

[full terrace]

Now that I have researched SP 5-6-7-8

I'm starting to think that

Spending Ulpi on SP 4 might be worth it 😂

It depends on main stage VEC-08 still, but we can borrow Support Unit for that one

I'm leaning toward spending resources on SP stages now

[glass monolith]

No ability to friend support on SP make me sad because it is big experiment playground

[full terrace]

Honestly thats the main reason why I'm leaning toward spending 6 Stars on SP stages instead of main stages

[vernal lion]

@elder flume

this was never happened before, Lumen just consumed ammo even there's no negative status

did they just add the -1 block count from the monsoon weather as negative status or smth?

also Surtr did get back her 1 block count every time Lumen heal her with ammo

and the boss also noticed that

[limpid ore]

we have -1 block as negative status in OF iirc

could do some testing

[full terrace]

Yah the Agent enemies

Annoyed the hell outta me in IS3 and IS4

[limpid ore]

negative status: cold, stun, freeze, etc.
there are more into the etc. part

[ancient dirge]

Hi guys! Wanted to talk strategy, but really I just wanted to kinda see how the veterans here feel.

I come from Library of Ruina (So know that I can't read) and its my favorite deck building/puzzle game! All options are valid, your only limited by your creativity.

Would you say arknights is the same? Im still watching learning videos/guides, and I would just hate to kill the idea of strategy because I found one guide that basically says do X thing this is how you cheese everything or there are only really 3 strategies.

I know this community is very kind and recommended looking things up, but if strategy/creativity is limited, i'd rather skip those videos so I can still discover it for myself.

Im no stranger to the "well this is meta so use X and just win/invalidates everything." I understand that and can avoid it. Im really just talking player expression I suppose.

[smoky halo]

nah thers a lot of ways to clear a stage

there are players that play niches to spice things up a bit

[spark sinew]

people clear stages with shittiest stuff imaginable

[smoky halo]

like using only birds, using only 4stars, etc.

[sterile delta]

if you take a look at arkrec/youtube/bilibili there are about 10 billion ways of clearing stages
so you're good on that front

[smoky halo]

using only units from a single faction

using only base characters (characters that have 0 upgrades on them)

its a pretty flexible game if ur willing to spend the time to strategize

[vernal lion]

LR is turn base game, while Ark is tower defense game tho

[civic bear]

the limit is your imagination

[spark sinew]

game at a certain point (of investment into combat) is closer to the puzzle one: you have some problem on X enemy count, so you need to have options to resolve it

[sterile delta]

guide makers tend to gravitate towards a couple specific ways of clearing stages/cheesing them with a meta op because thats the easiest to follow for new players

[smoky halo]

guide makers obv would want to make the guide easy to copy and using least investment

cos there are certain techs that are useful but hard to pull off

[ancient dirge]

Oh sorry, I didn't mean gameplay. I really just meant in the strategy part.

I love to hear all this feedback though! Its fun seeing how other people think so im glad I can watch those videos without worrying about losing that discovery/doing things my own way.

"The limit is your imagination" then that is perfect for me!

[scarlet mortar]

the gameplay does boil down to some core ideas if you really get into the nitty gritty of it

[civic bear]

well i lied

[full terrace]

[civic bear]

[civic bear]

ytbr dont make money bro

didnt u know

[elder flume]

ive been lied to

[scarlet mortar]

so like, 1. the 6*s and so in this game are far above the mins needed for stages, plus they do multiple of the core stuff you need at the same time if they're strong enough; 2. there're like 300+ ops in the game so you get an absurd amount of variation in how you fulfill the mins of a stage

[limpid ore]

get gamersupp sponsor to make money then

[scarlet mortar]

but ofc not everyone has a 6yo account so

[spark sinew]

i asked other ytbers, you make big bucks!

[smoky halo]
